While students hunker down, IU employees bundle up

Bundled into two layers of leggings, her work shirt, grey hoodie, red puffy coat, a hat with “Astroworld” embroidered across its fold, big fuzzy socks and white Nike sneakers, Veronica Swick was ready for her Wednesday commute.

Classes were canceled Wednesday at IU because of dangerously cold weather and wind chill as low as 35 degrees below zero, but campus remained open. While many IU students hunkered down in their residence halls, houses and apartments, IU employees clocked in for another day of work.

“It felt like I was trekking into the Arctic,” Swick said.

In her driveway, the engine of her green-gray Toyota Corolla kept turning over.

When she woke up at 9 a.m.

Wednesday, Weather Underground was reporting Monroe County hit minus 8 degrees. Swick eventually got her car going and went back inside while it warmed up.

It hasn’t been this cold since January 2014, said Marc Dahmer, a meteorologist

from the National Weather Service in Indianapolis. IU hasn’t canceled classes due to the weather since 2009.

The cold is a result of bottled-up arctic air shooting down further south than usual, Dahmer said. But the frigid weather shouldn’t last

long. Dahmer said temperatures will be in the upper 30s Friday and the mid-50s by Sunday.

Swick, a junior who lives in the Green Acres neighborhood behind Eigenmann Hall, was lying in bed Tuesday when she saw IU’s tweet

that classes were canceled.

IU sent the tweet at 5:07 p.m.

Tuesday, and it had more than 1,300 retweets as of Wednesday evening.

Campus hummed with excitement when the notification went out. In the Indiana Memorial Union Starbucks, people chatted about the closure. In a lecture hall, a class burst into applause.

Meanwhile, Swick still had work in the morning.

She texted her GroupMe group chat, where she said her coworkers at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf at Goodbody Eatery were trying to figure out what to do. Swick said managers sent an email saying employees who needed to walk to work wouldn’t have to come in.

Swick said she was frustrated that she still had to go to work, but she knew students in residence halls would still need food.

“But it’s cold,” Swick said.

“It’s like too cold. Everyone, just stay inside. You’ve got ramen, right? You can be fine for one day.”

The Tony award-winning Broadway musical “Next to Normal” will be performed at 7:30 and 11 p.m.

Feb. 1 and 7:30 p.m. Feb. 2 by IU’s University Players.

All performances at the Studio Theatre in Lee Norvelle Theatre and Drama Center are sold out.

Email universityplayersiub@gmail. com to be put on the waitlist for tickets.

The musical follows a family struggling with its mother’s worsening bipolar disorder.

The musical won three Tony Awards in 2009 and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2010.

The cast and crew have been in hours-long rehearsals all week in preparation for the weekend’s performances.

The show’s director, sophomore musical theater major Kyle Mason, said he hopes audiences learn to be more comfortable with discussing mental health after the show.

This is something that’s especially important on a college campus.

“By professors and by other faculty, we are pushed to do the most, and that can have an effect on your mental state,” Mason said.

Students involved in the show said they certainly understand the pressure to perform.

“It’s been a whirlwind, honestly,” said Tess Bladow, sophomore arts management major and the show’s stage manager. “With student theater, you face more challenges.”

But the cast and crew are certainly reaping the rewards of those challenges, said Caroline Santiago Turner, a freshman musical theater major playing the role of Natalie.

“The fact that we put on this show by ourselves is very valuable training,” she said.

In preparation for the show, cast members met with a local mental health professional who works with patients with bipolar disorder and similar illnesses and their families.

“In order to do it justice, we needed to know what it’s really like so that we can better approach the subject,” Santiago Turner said. “It can be dramatic, but also accurate.”

Programs to be handed out at each performance will include information on local mental health resources, including Counseling and Psychological Services offered at the IU Health Center.

“Every family has an underlying dysfunction and things that make them not-so-normal,” Santiago Turner said.

“Next to Normal” may be the story of a family in crisis, but Bladow said the cast hope it’s one audiences can relate to.

“What we have is what we have,” Miller said. “And those guys got to understand they gotta bring it.”

Rutgers’ 19-2 advantage in bench points also went a long way in helping it defeat IU in Piscataway for the first time since joining the Big Ten and for the second consecutive time after last season’s conference tournament win.

GateHouse Media, LLC bought the Herald-Times newspaper and all other Hoosier Times group newspapers, which were owned by Schurz Communications, Inc. since 1966.

Scott C. Schurz, chairman of the board of Schurz Communications, Larry Hensley, general manager of the Herald Times and Zaltsberg met Monday morning to discuss why Schurz Communications was selling.

“The indications were that it is difficult for a small, family-owned newspaper group to succeed and be profitable in this era of people merging,” Zaltsberg said. “GateHouse Media owns 555 newspapers, so this scale is a huge benefit for people in the newspaper business these days.”

Students to lobby state for gun control

A tufted titmouse sits on a branch Jan. 29 outside Franklin Hall. Some are worried Indiana bird species could diminish over time because of unseasonal weather created by climate change.

Climate change harms birds

By Julia Locanto jlocanto@iu.edu | @julialocanto

Indiana bird species could diminish over time because of unusually warm weather created by climate change, according to research from the Robert Cooper Audubon Society, an environmental organization dedicated to wildlife conservation.

Early springs can disrupt migration cycles and when birds reproduce. The timing of food availability, such as when insects emerge, changes as the weather gets warmer. This means food could be limited by the time birds migrate to Indiana, so birds will have to migrate even further or go hungry.

“If spring occurs few weeks early, and the budding of plants and emergence of insects comes early, then within a year the population could decline,” Environmental Resilience Institute researcher Adam Fudickar said. “Their breeding won’t be synced with the timing of the resources.”

With spring coming earlier, birds are arriving at the end of the warm season to breed.

If migratory birds have less time to reproduce, the number offspring could decrease, Fudickar said.

Bird flies in the sky near Memorial Stadium on Nov. 25, 2018.

“It is important that migratory birds reproduce at the correct time so they have resources for their offspring,” he said.

Migratory birds could face the most extreme consequences of climate change, said Dustin Brewer, member of the Sassafras Audubon Society and researcher at the IU Environmental Resilience Institute. Birds that migrate and breed in Indiana, including the cerulean warbler and American redstart, are seeing the effects of climate change.

Northern cardinals and blue jays do not migrate long distances and are experiencing resource competition from climate change. If one species is eliminated, other species will be left with more

resources and less competition, Brewer said.

“Some species that currently utilize Indiana will likely disappear, and other new species may come to Indiana as habitats change in response to climate change,” Brewer said.

Species more common in southern Indiana, such as bobolinks, could stop migrating, while northern Indiana species could migrate more frequently during the breeding season as the weather gets warmer.

An IU study found that tree populations are shifting with climate change, affecting where birds nest and reproduce. The study found that climate change is affecting forest soils and soil gasses in the U.S., which increases nitrogen

oxide levels. Jonathan Raff, associate professor at SPEA, said this causes smog and a decline in air quality.

“Climate change is causing forest populations to shift from trees that do not emit these gasses to those that do,” Raff said.

Tree populations influence where birds nest and find resources. Birds only nest in specific trees, such as oaks, and the study found these could be replaced by maple or tulip poplar trees.

Brewer said bird populations in Indiana will decrease over the next 100 years.

“We’re almost guaranteed to lose species in Indiana, but not to gain them,” he said.

Temperatures are rising rapidly with climate change and extreme weather conditions, like heavy rain and droughts, are becoming more common. Indiana’s environment could lack biodiversity in the future, Brewer said.

“The extraordinarily fast rate of climate change is the biggest challenge for wildlife,” Brewer said. “In many instances, species do not have time enough to adapt and will decline — possibly to the point of extinction.”

Switchyard Brewing Company to grow

By Joy Burton joyburt@iu.edu | @joybur10

A 3-month-old chestnut brown mixed hound named Eleanor tugged at her owner’s leash, leaping energetically toward Switchyard Brewing Company’s co-founder and co-owner Jeff Hall. He laughed to himself.

“That’s the reason I do this job,” Hall said.

Last Memorial Day, Switchyard opened a brewpub in what used to be Jake’s Nightclub on North Walnut Street. They distribute their Switchyard craft beer inhouse and to 22 local businesses.

Hall said Switchyard is known around Bloomington as an inclusive hangout for all people, including families and pets. He said reception has been overwhelmingly positive.

His business partner, coowner and co-founder Kurtis Cummings, said the company has plans to distribute beer outside of Monroe County this spring to Indianapolis, Columbus and Jeffersonville, Indiana.

Hall said in a few years, he thinks they will continue broadening their horizons by opening a second location.

“We’re only a few months in,” Hall said. “But we want to stay ahead and keep making big goals.”

Switchyard patrons and IU seniors Alyssa Kayne and Reilly Crabbs said they come occasionally because they live nearby. Crabbs said she works on group projects there sometimes, and Kayne said she comes to play board games with friends.

Kayne and Crabbs said every time they come in, someone has a dog.

“It’s a nice way to cheer up while you’re studying,” Kayne

When senior Nidhi Krishnan walks into Bloomington High School South, she said she feels safe.

But then again, she said, that is probably what the students in Parkland, Florida, felt before February’s school shooting.

“We’re not immune from gun violence,” she said.

“Student safety should always be first priority.”

Krishnan is the founder of her local chapter of Students Demand Action, a nationwide organization where students come together to fight for stricter gun control, especially in schools.

This chapter, made up of middle and high school students, was founded last summer, she said, just a few months after the Parkland shooting.

A group from the chapter is traveling Feb. 5 to the Indiana Statehouse to participate in their first annual Lobby Day. This is a day when advocacy organizations, including their parent organization Moms Demand Action, meet with legislators to promote what they consider common-sense gun regulations.

However, Feb. 5 is a Tuesday, so not all students can go. Still, Krishnan and six other students, ranging from middle school to college, gathered to educate themselves on how to lobby for gun safety Sunday at the Monroe County Public Library.

“We’re not a partisan organization, but Democrats tend to side more with gun reform,” Krishnan said. “But we welcome anyone who is alarmed by the gun violence epidemic.”

Although Moms Demand Action goes every year, this will be the first time the two organizations will travel and lobby together.

Those who are going are hoping to speak with Reps. Peggy Mayfield, RMartinsville; Jeff Ellington, R-Bloomington; and Sen. Eric Koch, R-Bedford, three local legislators.

Rachel Guglielmo, Indiana chapter leader of Moms Demand Action, said she is excited for students to join her group this

year because they can be especially persuasive.

“As an adult, it’s impactful to hear young people calling you out,” she said.

She encouraged the students to share any personal stories they have about gun violence with the legislators, as well as just generally tell them how safe they feel in school.

“I think bringing students might sway legislators because then they can see who they’re actually affecting,” Krishnan said.

One of the bills students want to talk to representatives about passing is a House bill called “Firearm Storage Requirements.”

If passed, the bill would prohibit gun owners from keeping their guns in places where children could reasonably reach them.

This would make it more difficult for children to accidentally shoot themselves or others in the home and for students to bring their parents’ guns to school, IU freshman Evann Englert said.

“If you don’t lock up your gun, your kid could have 24/7 access to it,” he said. “But in reality, how often do you actually need to use it in your house?”

This bill hits close to home for Indiana students, he said, because the shooter at Noblesville West Middle School used his parents’ guns May 25 to open fire in a middle school classroom.

Students from Noblesville will also be traveling Feb. 5 to the Statehouse, Krishnan said, and Bloomington students are hoping to meet with them.

Ultimately, the students want to persuade their representatives to prioritize school safety regardless of their political affiliation, Krishnan said.

“I support the Second Amendment,” she said.

“But the Second Amendment, just like any other amendment, isn’t absolute.”

In addition to Bloomington Students Demand Action, Englert and a few other IU students are working on building up members for an IU Students Demand Action group.

The group was recognized by the national organization in January but are not yet officially recognized by the university.

said.

James Nelson, Switchyard bartender and third-year IU graduate student, said he is not surprised the brewery is taking off. He said the owners had big goals from the beginning and knew what direction they wanted to go with it.

“It’s a crowded brewing market,” Nelson said. “But it’s working because we’re doing something different.”

Hall said besides making its own craft beer, the brewpub separates itself by helping the community. The Switchyard has organized benefits for local organizations such as Middle Way House, Cardinal Stage and Monroe County Humane Association with events such as Positive Pints.

Hall began his business with Cummings seven years ago in Cummings’ garage.

He said Cummings’ wife was forced to park outside because of the makeshift distillery.

The pair began bringing samples to local festival events to get their name out, Hall said. They distributed for taste and evaluation purposes, so there was no profit, he said.

In 2015, Hall and Cummings started a Kickstarter to open a bar for their brew. The fundraising goal was $30,000, but Hall said they ended up

raising over $42,000.

“It was a dream come true,” Hall said.

Hall said now when he sells his craft beer to other businesses, he tells them about how the pub came to be.

“We want them to buy into the story," Hall said, "not just the brand.”

Proposed Title IX changes spark student outrage

By Alex Hardgrave ahardgra@iu.edu | @a_hardgrave

The first phase of Bloomington and Monroe County’s plan to expand the Monroe Convention Center was approved last Friday.

Convention Center to expand

By Lilly St. Angelo lstangel@iu.edu | @lilly_st_ang

A steering committee approved the first phase of Bloomington and Monroe County’s plan last Friday to expand the Monroe Convention Center.

The first phase is meant to include community members in the conceptual design of the project, which outlines the building’s functions, according to the architects’ presentation at the Friday meeting.

Architects will meet with stakeholders in early March and have public meetings at a later date to hash out the community’s desires and concerns. The group of stakeholders includes about

vention center, including IU. The controversial 1 percent Food and Beverage Tax that went into effect in February 2018 will help fund the convention center expansion. On Jan. 22, the advisory commission for the tax approved using Food and Beverage Tax money to hire an architect and pay for other initial planning costs.

By law, the commission must approve all spending of tax money.

The Bloomington City Council must also approve of the tax money use before the city pays the architect any money.

The estimated cost of the whole project is $30 to 40 million, Sturbaum said.

250 Bloomington community members. Construction will start in about a year, city council member Chris Sturbaum said.

“The more people they talk to, the more information they’ll have,” Sturbaum said.

Sturbaum is one of four elected officials on the Convention Center Steering Committee for Accountability, including Monroe County council member Cheryl Munson, Mayor John Hamilton and County Commissioner Amanda Barge. The committee also includes five appointed citizens.

Munson and Sturbaum said the stakeholders include people, organizations and businesses who use the con-

Munson said the stakeholders also include organizations and businesses who may use the convention center in the future because of its expanded size.

“This is not just a convention center,” Munson said. “It is, and will increasingly be, a civic center.”

Sturbaum and Munson said they were impressed with Convergence Design, the architecture firm the city and county have agreed to partner with.

“I think they’re excellent,” Munson said. “They have a big job ahead of them. People want something that’s a bold architectural statement but also something that will fit into Bloomington.”

Students shared their outrage Monday evening about proposed changes to Title IX and discussed how the modifications could affect IU’s Title IX sexual assault reporting procedures.

U.S Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos proposed changes to Title IX on Nov. 16.

The amendment changes Title IX’s definition of sexual harassment to “unwelcome conduct on the basis of sex that is so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively denies a person equal access to the school’s education program or activity.”

The definition used to be more broad and included unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature. This new definition could make it more difficult for students to report cases of sexual misconduct.

Students for Equity in Public Affairs, a group dedicated to improving the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, facilitated the discussion at SPEA about the newly proposed Title IX sexual violence rules.

The Department of Education allows a public comment time on these changes before they are finalized. Monday was the last day for comments on these revisions.

Graduate student Emily Mulligan said last year she was followed at night and severely harassed by a student, and

she felt IU didn’t care until she threatened to get a lawyer. She said the man who harassed her still attends IU. “Not all universities are like this,” Mulligan said.

She said she will never send her children to IU because of they way the university handled her case.

Junior Ellie Johnson, organizer of “Shatter the Silence,” said she attended Monday’s event to advocate for survivors. Shatter the Silence was a movement she started on social media after being vocal about her experience.

“I really believe that despite this proposed legislation, IU has the power to drastically decrease sexual violence, and they are more than capable of doing right for their students,” Johnson said.

After explaining the changes to Title IX and possible repercussions of the changes, Michael Jefferson, president of the group who organized the event, asked the crowd what its first response to the changes were.

Answers included: “angry,” “we need to stop this,” and “very short-sighted.”

Jefferson said these responses and the others collected in an online survey will be shared with an IU Student Government and Culture of Care Sexual Misconduct Student Working Group and SPEA administrators. Attendees were also given ten minutes to write and send a response to the site facilitating the public comments.

Indiana death row inmate sues state for death penalty

By Sydney Tomlinson sydtomli@iu.edu | @sydpt

An Indiana death row inmate filed a lawsuit against the state Jan. 8 arguing capital punishment violates Indiana’s constitution.

Roy Ward, now 46, was found guilty in 2002 of raping and murdering a 15-year-old girl in her house. He was sentenced to death, with prosecutors citing the severe mutilation of the girl’s body.

The Indiana Supreme Court overturned his conviction in 2004 and called for a retrial after Ward appealed, claiming jurors were exposed to too much pretrial publicity.

He pleaded guilty in the 2007 retrial and was again sentenced to death.

Ward also sued the state in 2014 after it changed its lethal injection protocol, but the Indiana Supreme Court eventually ruled

against him and allowed lethal injections to continue.

David Frank, Ward’s attorney in the 2014 lawsuit, filed the new suit on his behalf. Frank said he wants the Indiana Supreme Court to recognize capital punishment is not just.

“It’s not a deterrent,” Frank said. “It doesn’t punish the worst of the worst.

It’s applied arbitrarily.”

The lawsuit was filed in the LaPorte Superior Court.

Ward is being held in the Indiana State Prison in LaPorte County, where all the state’s executions are performed.

The suit specifically names Gov. Eric Holcomb and Robert Carter, the commissioner of the Indiana Department of Correction, as defendants because it’s not possible to sue the state itself.

Carter’s office declined to comment for this story.

ILLUSTRATION BY KENDRA WILSON | IDS

Holcomb’s office has not responded to multiple requests for comment.

Indiana is one of 30 states that allow the death penalty, according to the Death Penalty Information Center.

The average time between death sentencing and execution in Indiana is

about 16 years, according to the Indiana Public Defender Council. It has been almost 17 years since Ward’s initial conviction, and he does not have a set execution date.

Frank said while this may be normal for Indiana death row inmates, he sees it as an indication that the state’s system of capital

punishment is purposeless and arbitrary.

“With all due respect, it’s based on a desire for vengeance,” Frank said. “The problem is that basing the criminal code on a desire for vengeance is unconstitutional.”

There are nine men on death row in Indiana, ac-

cording to a report from the Indiana Public Defender’s Council. They have been awaiting execution for anywhere from five to 25 years.

If the Indiana Supreme Court ruled the death penalty unconstitutional, existing death sentences would likely be commuted to life in prison without the possibility of parole, Frank said.

Indiana’s last execution was of 49-year-old Matthew Eric Wrinkles in 2009 by lethal injection. He was on death row for 14 years before his death.

A person sentenced to death in Indiana is eligible for up to three levels of appeal. The first level of review is required for all death sentences, but the other appeals are optional.

Ward has attempted all three levels of appeal. His last appeal to the Seventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals was denied in August 2016.

Pitching a key strength for the Hoosiers

By Stefan Krajisnik stefkraj@iu.edu | @skrajisnik3

Pitching was the strength of the IU baseball team in 2018.

The Hoosiers ranked seventh in the nation for team earned run average while producing eight shutouts on the season.

A great pitching staff comes with great potential in the MLB, however. In the 2018 draft, IU lost its ace and Friday night starter Jonathan Stiever.

Stiever, who was drafted in the fifth round by the Chicago White Sox, led the team in strikeouts while producing a 3.41 ERA. Joining Stiever in the MLB system was lefthanded starter Tim Herrin, who was drafted in the 29th round.

Now as the 2019 season is less than a month away, it’s uncertain who will fill those voids.

Stepping into Stiever’s role will be senior Pauly Milto. One of the team captains last season, Milto had the best ERA among starters at 2.03 and was second on the team in strikeouts.

Behind Milto is where the real concern could be. Last season, IU struggled to find consistent Sunday and midweek starters. Without Stiever and with Milto moving to Friday, the Saturday slot is left wide open as well.

Junior Cam Beauchamp split time with Herrin in the Sunday role and was second in innings pitched among returning pitchers.

Beauchamp also saw quality time in the postseason as he started and threw 4.2 innings against Texas A&M University in regional play.

Sophomore Tommy Sommer saw his playing time fluctuate throughout the season but showed spurts of how good he could be. Sommer made 13 appearances

Then-junior pitcher Jonathan Stiever makes a solid beginning of the first game against Illinois during the 2018 season. Stiever was drafted in the fifth round by the Chicago White Sox last season.

for the Hoosiers, but only three were starts and none were longer than 4.1 innings.

However, he did maintain an ERA below four and could see an increased role this season.

After showing signs of potential in his freshman season, junior Andrew Saalfrank struggled to find consistency in his breaking ball during his sophomore campaign.

While still managing to rank fourth on the team in strikeouts, Saalfrank saw his innings pitched decrease while walks increased. If he is able

to get better control of his pitches, Saalfrank could step in and take a weekend starting role, which he had but lost last season.

Sophomore Connor Manous saw his role as a midweek starter fluctuate last season but had the innings pitched to be considered a starter going into 2019. Junior transfer Tanner Gordon is a potential piece that could surprise some fans and take a starting role after coming from John A. Logan College.

Between Beauchamp, Sommer, Saalfrank, Manous

and Gordon, there will be strong competition for the weekend and starter roles that new coach Jeff Mercer could experiment with in the nonconference slate.

Behind the starters comes a bullpen that returns most of its key pieces. Junior Cal Krueger was the go-to reliever for IU last season, especially early in the year.

While picking up three saves, Krueger was usually the guy to come in during the eighth inning and put Matt Lloyd in a comfortable position to close the game in the ninth.

Llyod, a senior utility player, led the team with seven saves while posting an impressive sub-two ERA. His use out of the bullpen was limited throughout parts of the season to save his arm for the field, but he showed his value to the team when given the opportunity.

In a 13-inning duel with Purdue last season, Lloyd picked up the win after pitching five innings.

Behind Lloyd and Krueger, the bullpen will benefit from multiple pitchers competing for starting

roles. Manous, Saalfrank, Beauchamp and Sommer all showed an ability to come in as relievers along with the potential to start.

IU will also have sophomores Austin Long and Nick Eaton, who both saw less than 10 innings pitched last season. They will be joined

by Matt Litwicki who redshirted his freshman season due to Tommy John surgery and freshmen Braydon Tucker, Alex Franklin, McCade Brown, Michael Dunkelberger, Gabe Bierman, Ty Bothwell and Nathan Kappers.

‘Nowhere to go’: IU men’s basketball lacks confidence

By Cameron Drummond cpdrummo@iu.edu | @cdrummond97

With a stern look on his face and a crumpled stat sheet in his hand, Archie Miller settled in for his postgame press conference following last week’s home loss to Michigan.

“Right now we’re an entire group that does not have the confidence,” Miller said. “It’s not one guy. It’s our team. Our team doesn’t have confidence right now.”

That lack of confidence can be shown in a variety of metrics from IU’s six-game losing streak, ranging from poor 3-point shooting to a lack of consistent scoring from freshmen guards Romeo Langford and Rob Phinisee.

But it’s a nonquantitative element, the mental aspect of repeatedly getting off to slow starts and losing games, that players like senior forward Juwan Morgan are seeking to address ahead of Wednesday night’s game at Rutgers.

“It’s just a matter of people getting inside their own heads,” Morgan said. “I think

that’s where the camaraderie amongst the five on the court needs to kick in. And even if they’re missing shots, we can’t let that affect our teammates’ effort and energy.”

While sluggish starts on offense and defense have plagued IU in recent defeats, it’s been a continual issue for the Hoosiers this season.

Mundane nonconference meetings in November against the University of Texas at Arlington and the University of California, Davis were both tight contests. But IU was still able to earn victories despite second-half surges from both opponents.

That role has been reversed in recent weeks, as it’s been the Hoosiers who have found themselves desperately trying to claw back in the second half of games against the likes of Nebraska, Purdue, Northwestern and Michigan to no avail.

“We have to be able to fight,” Morgan said. “I just keep telling the guys that whenever you get hit, you can’t just give up. If one guy is

fighting, all five of us are fighting, and that needs to be the way it’s going from here on out.”

Increasingly though, it seems IU will use a limited rotation of players to accompany Morgan on the court. Just six players played meaningful minutes in the second half of the Michigan loss, with Morgan, Langford and Phinisee joined by sophomore forward Justin Smith, senior guard Zach McRoberts and sophomore guard Al Durham.

Four of those six players are underclassmen. Additionally, McRoberts has been a limited scoring threat this season, totaling 15 points in 274 minutes played.

“We’re feeling sorry for ourselves at times during the game, and you can’t do that,” Miller said. “You have to play through it, and part of that’s growing up.”

That limited rotation of players trusted by Miller to help return IU to its winning ways doesn’t appear to be changing anytime soon.

rester and Damezi Anderson, along with sophomore forward Clifton Moore, have all played sparingly in conference play.

For better or worse, the Hoosiers look set to rely on

a small cast of players to try and turn their season around. With 11 Big Ten games left to play, time is limited for those players to regain the confidence and swagger which once defined

this IU team.

“There’s nowhere to go,” Miller said. “You just move on to the next step, try to figure it out, and you’ve got to find a way to get some confidence in yourself.”

NATIONAL SPORTS COLUMN

Grant Williams and the Tennessee Volunteers are the real deal Brandon Schaff is a junior in broadcast journalism.

With everyone’s attention fixated on Duke University’s trifecta of freshmen R.J. Barrett, Zion Williamson and Cameron Reddish, it’s easy for the University of Tennessee to go unnoticed.

While head coach Rick Barnes’ squad was ranked coming into the 2018-19 season, sitting at No. 6, there was little reason to believe Tennessee had as much to bring to table as blue bloods like University of Kansas, University of Kentucky and Duke, all ranked higher. Even the University of Virginia, who became the first No. 1 seed to ever lose to a No. 16 seed in last year’s NCAA tournament, was ranked higher than Tennessee.

Yet here we are in late January, less than two months before teams find out who is selected for March Madness, and the Volunteers have cemented themselves as the best team in the country.

Sitting at No. 1 for the last two weeks, Tennessee currently sits at 18-1 — its only loss coming on the road to an incredibly talented Kansas team in overtime back in November.

The Volunteers have many reasons to be happy about their rise to the top, including having the eighthranked scoring offense in the country. But the key to the team’s success has come from a trio that has proven it can hang with anyone in the country, including the Blue Devils.

liams, senior guard Admiral Schofield and junior guard Jordan Bone have been nothing short of spectacular together this season. Wil-

liams averages 20.2 points per game, while Schofield and Bone provide 16.6 and 13.1 points per game, respectively.

The shooting percentages of Williams and Schofield have been unbelievable as well, with Williams shooting 57 percent overall and Schofield boasting a 40 percent mark from three. Bone has tallied a staggering 120 assists so far this season, ranked 18th in the country.

While the entire team has played exceptionally well, it has been the superior play of Williams that catapulted the Volunteers into the national spotlight. The junior is on watch lists for the John R. Wooden Award Player of the Year and the Naismith Trophy Men’s Player of the Year Award.

In a Tennessee win in overtime at Vanderbilt University, Williams was a perfect 23 of 23 from the freethrow line — the most free

throws made without a miss by any player in Division I the last 60 years. Complementing his stellar night from the charity stripe, he scored a career-high 43 points on 10of-15 shooting, the most by a Volunteer since all-time leading scorer Allan Houston had 43 points against Louisiana State Univeristy 29 years ago.

Averaging 31 points, 5.5 rebounds, three assists, 2.5 blocks and two steals per game last week, head coach Rick Barnes could not be happier with the production he has seen from Williams.

If this keeps up, expect the Volunteers to finish this season stronger after last season’s second round exit in the NCAA Tournament. bschaff@iu.edu @SchaffBrandon

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Moren on Patberg: ‘We got to get her going’

By Dylan Wallace dswallac@iu.edu | @Dwall_1

Junior guard Ali Patberg launched her fourth 3-point attempt with 2:12 left in the third quarter of IU’s 76-56 loss to Maryland on Sunday.

The shot fell short, and Patberg’s hands rested on her hips as she shook her head.

That miss made her 0-of-4 from the three-point line and 0-of-10 from the field with zero points. She was subbed out seven seconds later, and didn’t return until 3:35 was left in the fourth quarter, when the game was already out of reach.

Patberg doesn’t usually see rests last that long. Averaging 36 minutes per game this season, she played just 26 minutes against Maryland, a game where IU trailed by double-digits for the final 22 minutes.

She found her first field goal in the final 3:35 of the game and split a pair of free throws. Patberg finished with three points, three assists and five turnovers.

It wasn’t the same performance the Hoosiers are used to seeing — and it hasn’t been over the team’s last three games.

Patberg has shown off her scoring arsenal all season by

draining 3-point shots, stopping on a dime and hitting mid-range jumpers and even getting to the basket.

But in the last three games, Patberg has committed 13 turnovers, shot 6-of-33 from the field and 0-of-9 from three.

“The last three games she’s really struggled from the outside and being any kind of a scorer for us,” IU Heach Coach Teri Moren said.

Patberg had scored less than 10 points just twice before this most recent threegame stretch. The Hoosiers

are 1-2 in those three games — though in the lone win Patberg contributed eight points and 11 assists.

In the five games IU has lost, Patberg has averaged 11.4 points per game. In the 16 games the team has won, she has averaged 17 points per

game.

Since debuting at IU, Patberg has taken the role as the team’s leader at the point guard position. She’s the player Moren looks to when she wants to speed up the tempo and the player her teammates look to when they need a bas-

ket.

For most of this season, the junior guard has done all of that and more at a high rate. But now, as Patberg has struggled to find consistent play in the middle of this Big Ten schedule, the team’s success has mirrored that lack of consistency.

After starting out Big Ten play 3-0, the Hoosiers have now lost four of their last six conference games, dropping them to 5-4 in the conference and 16-5 overall.

The schedule doesn’t get any easier as the Hoosiers prepare to play No. 17 Rutgers on the road Thursday night. Plenty goes into losses but getting Patberg back on track could be something that gets the team back to its winning ways.

Moren said right now she thinks part of her struggles are mental. But after transferring from Notre Dame, causing her to sit out a whole season, recovering from an ACL tear and a sickness earlier in her career that kept her away from basketball, Patberg knows what it takes to stay strong mentally.

“What we don’t do is give up on her,” Moren said. “We got to get her going. She’s a terrific player and you don’t lose confidence in her and she knows it.”

CAM’S CORNER

Kalen DeBoer hire signals optimism for future of IU football offense Cameron Drummond is a junior in journalism.

During his introductory press conference last week, new IU offensive coordinator Kalen DeBoer didn’t spend much time talking about his offensive philosophy.

Yes, DeBoer spoke about the fine line that exists between playing an exciting brand of offensive football and the pragmatic need to limit turnovers, but he spent far more time discussing his philosophical approach to coaching.

He mentioned the journeys each player and coach has taken to arrive in Bloomington, himself included, and what is required to get those people on the same page to reach a common goal.

Reflecting on why now was the right time for him to accept a Power Five coaching job after being a coordinator at Eastern Michigan University and California State University, Fresno, DeBoer said he relished the challenge of com-

peting at the highest level.

His experience as an NAIA head coach at his alma mater, the University of Sioux Falls, also prepared him for the task of operating a Big Ten offense.

But above all else, a single, 14-word passage from DeBoer’s press conference should cause IU football fans to tingle with delight.

“I think once you become complacent, that’s when things start going the wrong way,” DeBoer said.

If there’s one thing IU’s offense became in the past two seasons under former offensive coordinator Mike DeBord, it was complacent.

Checkdown pass after checkdown pass from quarterback Peyton Ramsey drove fans to the point of madness.

So too did IU’s lack of explosive plays and poor red zone execution.

While IU’s running game was a significant positive from the past two seasons, the generic, bland and predictable play calling ultimately cost the Hoosiers a chance at two

postseason appearances.

How DeBoer plans to address the complacency in IU’s offense is his first big challenge.

Having only been in Bloomington a few days, DeBoer is understandably still getting adjusted to the new players at his disposal. His early impressions, he said, were of a group of young players already with playing experience, combined with upperclassmen skill position players who have an urgency to win now.

Players like junior wide receivers Donavan Hale and Nick Westbrook come to mind when thinking of Hoosiers whose college careers are fast ending without achieving the team success they deserve.

DeBoer said he plans to use play action, explosive plays and tempo to ensure the end of Hale and Westbrook’s college careers aren’t mired in Big Ten mediocrity.

“That’s something I think I’ve learned throughout the

few moves,” DeBoer said.

“How to have that fine line and build a foundation that prepares you for more success years two, three and four in building your system. But at this time right now, we want to win right now.”

So we’re all on the same page.

DeBoer wants to set up IU for offensive success in the years to come but also recognizes the need to quell a jittery fan base with immediate results.

He understands what IU fans want and what the expectations are. The next part of his journey is to live up to these expectations.

She planned to park in the Goodbody parking lot to be closer to work but didn’t want to risk getting a ticket.

Instead, she drove back to park in front of Read Center.

Sitting in her car, she mentally prepared herself for the walk to Goodbody, telling herself it wouldn’t be that bad. She could do it.

The walk only takes about eight minutes, but Swick said the cold made it feel like twice that. Wind blew in her face as she walked toward Goodbody, forcing her to turn around and walk backward at one point to stay warm. Her breath fogged her glasses.

When she got to Goodbody, the heat of the building fogged them up even more.

She warmed up and got to work.

She counted the register before clocking out. The cash

She got out of her work clothes and bundled back up, calling out goodbye to her co-workers before leaving. Gloveless hands stuffed in her pockets, she walked

Swick got in her car and drove up Jordan Avenue before turning right on Seventh Street toward home.

Sally the salad robot is the first fresh-food robot in the world to be in a hospital. People at IU Health Bloomington Hospital can have Sally make a custom salad for $6.99.

Meet Sally A new chef is in Bloomington. She works 24 hours a day and makes one dish: salad.

By Christine Stephenson cistephe@iu.edu | @cistephenson23

A new chef is in town at IU Health Bloomington Hospital. She works 24 hours a day and can make variations of one dish: salad.

Sally the salad robot dispenses lettuce and other fresh ingredients to make personalized salads for staff members, patients and visitors. There are about 50 salad robots worldwide — mostly at college campuses, surgery centers and offices in the U.S. and Europe — but this is the first one installed in a hospital, according to a press release about the machine.

“People are always huddled around it trying to see what’s going on,” said Jonie Gates, manager of marketing and public relations at the hospital.

The machine is owned by Chowbotics, a California-based company that creates food service robots.

Although Sally may not have many human qualities, the company wanted

to give the machine a name with a human feel to it, said Hasti Afsarifard, Chowbotics customer success manager.

“There’s a lot of fear out there about robots taking over,” she said. “This makes it so staff members can feel like Sally is a part of their team, not something there to steal their jobs.”

Sally’s first day of work at the hospital was Jan. 23. Since then, the machine has made about 20 to 25 salads a day, said Becky Amt, director of food and nutrition services at the hospital.

The toppings range from shredded carrots to bacon bits, and a variety of dressings sit at a nearby table. Customers can choose premade salads or design their own with up to six toppings, but the salads are always $6.99 each.

Because the ingredients sit in separate, airtight tubes at 38 degrees Fahrenheit, Amt said they stay fresh longer. And if the ingredients go bad, the machine automatically stops dispensing them.

Amt said Sally is a healthy alternative to vending machines, which are typical-

ly the only food options available after 7 p.m. at the hospital.

“In a vending machine, you never know how long that sandwich or whatever has been sitting there,” she said.

The machine is located in the middle of the hospital lobby, nestled between the outpatient surgery center and the emergency department. It is more accessible for visitors than the vending machines spread throughout the hospital, Amt said.

“People don’t want to be too far away from their loved ones having a surgery,” she said.

Additionally, the machine allows less risk for cross-contamination of foods than if a person were to make it, Afsarifard said. This is important for people with food allergies, she said.

“People with allergies might be familiar with coming to the hospital because of allergic reactions, so we like to think we’re decreasing that risk,” she said. “I think a lot of people are reluctant to eat from a salad bar at a hospital oth-

erwise.”

Founder and CEO Deepak Sekar imagined the idea of Sally after making food in his kitchen and realizing he did not want to spend time on repetitive tasks like stirring and chopping ingredients, according to a Chowbotics press release.

Now, Chowbotics is planning on installing machines at other hospitals across the nation, Afsarifard said.

Amt said the company is considering installing machines in Bedford and Paoli, Indiana, where health facilities are smaller than in Bloomington and have fewer food staff members.

Afsarifard said the company also has machines that supply other food like grain bowls and Indian cuisine. Additional food options will likely crop up in the future, she said, but for now the company is focusing on installing more salad robots.

“We’re hoping to scale up pretty quick,” she said. “We’ve been seeing really great traction.”

Customers make vintage valentine’s cards really important,” Stark said.

“You can see a lot of things that don’t make it to chain stores and oftentimes it is more sustainable, especially with vintage.”

While searching for the perfect outfit to buy, some women also sought a vintage outfit to use in a mini photo shoot. Attendees had the opportunity to dress up in vintage clothing, including wedding dresses, and have their pictures taken by a professional photographer.

“I really like the vintage clothing,” assistant manager Gabby Kriegle said. “We have lots of frilly, bow things like formal wear from the ‘40s and ‘50s and stuff, which I think is the coolest.”

At the end of the night, each person was able to take a digital copy of their professional photo and at least one decorated card home.

Women shopped, decorated cards and took part in personal photo shoots Monday night at Cactus Flower at their event Vintage Valentine’s Day. Throughout the two-hour crafting session, women used materials to create their personalized Valentine’s cards.

Doilies, cards with floral patterns, paper hearts and even a special cupid sticker from the ’60s were provided.

“I wanted to do vintage cards because there’s a sweetness about vintage cards,” Cactus Flower owner Amanda Franklin said. “I’m a former art teacher, so these classes are a little way I can still craft and teach, just in a more relaxed and fun atmosphere.”

No prior skills or crafting expertise were required for the event, Franklin said. She walked around and offered her help throughout the session.

In addition to crafting, people browsed the store, looking at both new and vintage items.

With the purchase of their ticket, attendees received $10 off a purchase of $35 or more during the event.

One of the women, Brielle Stark, said she knew she would take full advantage of the discount. She loved getting to try on trendy and fun clothes and shop locally, she said.

EDITORIAL BOARD

Buttigieg’s run for president is a big step for America The mayor of South Bend, Indiana, Pete Buttigieg, has stated he will be launching an exploratory committee for a bid for the U.S. presidency in 2020.

Though the race for the Democratic nomination has just begun, his candidacy is an important shift in Indiana politics.

Buttigieg’s convictions are decidedly liberal but that is not why his announcement is welcome.

He would be the first openly gay presidential nominee from a major political party.

In a country where samesex marriage was only legalized nationwide about three years ago, that is less of a forward step and more of forward leap.

And yet it does present a rather hopeful outlook for this country when a man can feel confident in telling the whole world that not only is he gay, but he’s also looking to take the highest office in this country.

This comes at a time when a reported 67 percent of LGBTQ teenagers hear family members make negative comments about LGBTQ people, according to a survey conducted by the Human Rights Campaign and researchers at the Uni-

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg announced his bid to run in the upcoming 2020 presidential election.

versity of Connecticut.

One’s sexuality does not make them a good policy maker.

However, Buttigieg does not need to represent good policies at the current moment. His race toward the

presidency has hardly begun.

There is plenty of time to celebrate the sheer fact that he is running before deciding on whether your vote lies with him.

His candidacy is some-

thing of a beacon for change in this nation’s norms. The amount of non-LGBTQ adults who said they were “very” or “somewhat” comfortable around LGBTQ people in certain scenarios has dropped from 53 per-

cent in 2016 to 49 percent in 2017, according to a recent Accelerating Acceptance report.

Pete Buttigieg’s presidential candidacy and other LGBTQ people’s efforts to rise in society may very well

shape the nations perceptions toward LGBTQ people.

Buttigieg just celebrated his 37th birthday, which would put him among the youngest to make significant strides for the presidency.

Being just 2 years away from the minimum age requirement to run for the presidency, Buttigieg is perhaps more in touch with the younger demographics in the U.S. Having such a young president might not change the face of American politics quickly. However, it would be the beginning of a new era.

The president’s office sets the tone for the nation, so it would be interesting to see what the first millennial president’s tone would be.

Rather than a political endorsement for Buttigieg, this is an endorsement for political diversity within our predominantly heterosexual white male politics.

Buttigieg might not be what America needs as a leader in 2020, but what is important are the amount of firsts he offers and how many doors his candidacy opens for many otherwise underrepresented individuals.

CATHERINE’S TWO CENTS

MATT-ER OF FACT

Unpaid internships are inherently classist

Proposed Indiana Senate bill would force religion on schools

Catherine Blankship is a junior in journalism.

You need experience to get a job, but you need a job to get experience. In fact, 61 percent of entry-level jobs require at least three years of experience, according to a survey conducted by TalentWorks. So how do college graduates find a loophole to this contradiction?

For many, the answer lies in internships. The National Association of Colleges and Employers’ “Class of 2017 Student Survey” found 61 percent of 2017 graduating seniors intern during their time in college.

This survey also found that of those participated in internships, 43 percent were not paid. For some students, free labor is just not something they can afford to give.

The unpaid internship is classist, and it gives students who come from wealthy families an unfair advantage in the job market.

Paid internships are becoming more common. The National Association of Colleges and Employers’ found that between 2011 and 2017, the number of paid internships students participated in raised by only 6 percent.

According to a report from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, 14 million college students are also working. Of all student workers, 25 percent of them are working full-time while going to school full-time as well.

For many, these jobs are their livelihood. A survey conducted by LendEDU found 45 percent of college graduates ages 25 to 54 received no financial assistance from their families to pay for college.

Many students need to work paying jobs in the service industry to pay for tuition and basic human needs.

They simply cannot afford to begin working an unpaid position. Because of this, these

students graduate from college with limited experience in their field.

Paid internships could even be a stretch for some college students. If a working student cannot find a fulltime paid internship, they might not be able to accept a part-time one.

If a student needs to work full-time jobs to make enough to support themselves, they don’t have the space to add a 20 hour per week internship to their schedule. But quitting their job to take on the internship would leave them struggling to pay their bills.

Students from wealthy families are given an unfair advantage in the job market. When a student’s family is able and willing to pay for their tuition and cost of living, they are able to participate in programs for no compensation other than experience. The experience and skills they gain make them more prepared for work post-

graduation and more appealing to hiring managers.

This only continues the cycle and prevents people from moving between socioeconomic classes. Students from wealthy families are able to work unpaid internships, making it easier to gain experience and giving them a better chance to be hired at well-paying jobs. This allows them to remain wealthy.

Students from lower-class families are unable to work unpaid internships, making it harder to gain experience and giving them a lower chance to be hired at wellpaying jobs.

Requiring all internships to be paid would be one step closer to evening the playing field. All students, regardless of their financial status, should have the same opportunities to pursue an education, gain experience and land their dream job. catblank@iu.edu @clblankensop

NOBODY ASKED ME, BUT...

New documentary showcases victims of Fyre Festival Anne Anderson is a senior in international law.

Netflix recently introduced a new documentary to its collection called “Fyre: The Greatest Party that Never Happened.”

Fyre Festival was marketed as a top tier, lavish music getaway that promised big name influencers and musicians, such as Major Lazer and Blink-182.

However, when paying customers arrived at their socalled “exclusive private island getaway,” they were met with unlivable conditions.

Now before we start getting angry, try to see the humor in this real-life “Lord of the Flies” debacle. A whole flock of white, privileged and exorbitantly wealthy people paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to fly to the Bahamas and get to sleep in a villa, only to stay in a wet hurricane emergency tent.

That being said, Billy McFarland, the CEO and head of the whole operation, did sabotage countless investors, organizers and attendees.

But instead of feeling sorry for the people who already had enough money to purchase the tickets, feel sorry for the local Bahamians who performed most of the labor for the festival and never saw a paycheck.

That’s right — the local workers who assembled the campsite, prepared what little infrastructure they had, cooked food and worked overtime around the clock to try and meet McFarland’s impossible demands never saw a dime. The restaurant owner featured in the documentary, Maryann Rolle of Exuma, Bahamas, used her own life savings to pay her employees after the Fyre organizers never paid her for her work.

In the documentary, the organizers and employees of

Fyre all recount leaving the island at first chance when it all started to really go bottom up. The problem with this is while they went home to their families and escaped the financial ruin in Exuma, the people who call Exuma home were left to pick up the mess. This list provides reasons for how tourism has impacted select cities and it gives you an idea of how the tourism industry, while seen as something that bolsters a communities economy, can actually be harmful.

While your three-month long soul sabbatical through East Asia might not seem malicious to you, think about how a rapid influx of tourists inflates prices of food, beverages and costs of living in a given region.

Specifically in the case of Exuma and Fyre Festival, tourism dismantled a section of the island with trash, remnants of failed campsites

and abandoned construction gear.

Fyre Festival utilized upward of 100 locals for its various projects and none of them received pay, meaning for all the work, those people who have to live everyday on the land Fyre Festival chewed up and spat out, could not afford their own bills.

McFarland essentially took part of this beautiful land in the Bahamas, forced his idea into the community and used local labor to build his vision. Then he flopped, and instead of paying his dues and reparations for damages, left while several locals go home to their families empty-handed for months of work.

This to me at least, sounds very similar to every account of white colonialism throughout history. anneande@iu.edu @annelouiseande

Matthew Waterman is a senior in jazz studies and theater & drama.

Another legislative cycle in Indiana, another brazen attempt at forcing Christianity into the public education system. No surprise there.

Indiana Senate Bill 373 was authored by state Sens.

Dennis Kruse, R-Auburn, and Jeff Raatz, R-Richmond.

Its provisions aim to bring a little more Christianity into Indiana’s public and charter schools.

The bill would allow school corporations to “require the teaching of various theories concerning the origin of life, including creation science.”

The use of the term “creation science” signifies something important. The bill does not simply aim to make students aware that different religions tell various stories about the creation of life. It aims to teach about creationism as if it is science.

Science is a way of understanding the world based on empirical evidence and the scientific method. It has absolutely nothing to do with religious stories of creation, which were invented by humans before science was advanced enough to tackle those questions. “Creation science” is an oxymoron.

What better to go with an entree of creationism than a side dish of mindless patriotism? The bill would also require every single classroom and school library of all Indiana public and charter schools to display three separate images with specified minimum sizes: the U.S. flag, the Indiana flag and the U.S. motto “In God We Trust.”

None of those displays contribute to education in any meaningful way. Requiring every classroom to display them, and consequently requiring every school corporation and charter school to actually purchase enough for

all classrooms, is just one of the many small, petty aspects of the Republican Party’s cultural crusade.

The bill is authored in such a way as to guard against Constitutional challenges while still making clear that its motives are overtly Christian.

For example, it says high school curricula may include an elective course on various religions and religious texts, “including the study of the Bible.” It then says religious texts should be studied in a neutral way, not promoting any particular religion.

But if the bill’s motives were actually neutral, why would it specifically mention only the Bible, and no texts of Islam, Judaism or any other religion?

Indeed, the bill’s coauthor Kruse said he wants more Indiana laws that are favorable to Christian values. Raatz, the other co-author, served as principal of a now-closed Christian private school in Richmond, Indiana.

Legislators can get away with requiring the display of “In God We Trust” because it’s our country’s national motto. But this is an overtly religious motto. Even if the god mentioned is not necessarily only the Christian God, it still contradicts the views of atheists and polytheists. Displaying this motto in public schools violates the separation of church and state.

And setting all that aside, how does the display of any motto in every classroom and school library advance a child’s education?

State legislators should leave it up to teachers and elected school board officials to develop curricula and manage the minutiae of education, such as what images to display in a classroom.

Public education is no place for their Christian dogma. matwater@iu.edu

FILM COLUMN

TV COLUMN

‘Rent: Live’ betrays the spirit of live theater, but it’s still fun Kathryn de la Rosa is a senior in theater and journalism.

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Zac Efron is cast to star as an American serial killer, Theodore Robert Bundy, in the new film, “Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile.”

Zac Efron is too hot to star in Ted Bundy movie Annie Aguiar is a sophomore in journalism.

Ted Bundy was a serial killer, kidnapper, rapist and necrophilic monster who terrorized six different states during his rampage. In 1978, he walked into the Chi Omega sorority house at Florida State University and bludgeoned two sisters to death.

An attorney on his defense team called him “the very definition of heartless evil.”

Given this long and bloody history of brutality, the question stands: why is esteemed Hollywood hunk Zac Efron playing him?

Efron’s new movie, “Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile” premiered at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival this weekend to controversy. While the film itself has yet to be released, the trailer was uploaded to YouTube. In the trailer, we see Efron play Bundy with all his pretty boy charm, winking at the audience, daring them to think the unthinkable: oh no. He’s hot.

Defenders of the movie are trying to argue that it’s just capturing Bundy’s charming

personality, the same personality that allowed him to lure his victims in. But, in reality, it’s nothing more than fodder for the sicker parts of the true crime fan base who love to romanticize the darker parts of history.

Within the demographic of true crime genre fans, a smaller, sicker contingent exists: people who have more than a morbid interest in serial killers and the like.

For these fans, who frequently use Tumblr as a gathering place, figures like Ted Bundy or Columbine High School shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold are worthy of a worship-like love.

Blogs dedicated to their killer of choice are eerie echoes of similar frenzies toward boy bands like One Direction.

The only difference is that the crush of the month has a body count instead of a hit single.

Efron’s portrayal of Bundy is sickening. You don’t get to be a sexy bad boy if the thing that makes you a bad boy is notoriety as a prolific serial killer. Director Joe Berlinger is especially

complicit in this wrongdoing, since he also directed the Netflix documentary series “Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes,” showing the depths of Bundy’s depravity.

Anyone who understands what this man did to his victims and the fear he cultivated within the communities he targeted knows Efron’s new movie is wrong.

Watching the trailer feels taboo, like you’re seeing something you weren’t meant to see, something that never should have been made in the first place. Berlinger knows the ins and outs of Bundy’s history, and the fact that he still made the Efron movie for the sheer spectacle of it all is reprehensible.

This isn’t to say filmmakers can’t tackle charismatic killers like Bundy. Plenty of true crime-adjacent media does this and does it well because they’re careful to not romanticize the killer, to make the heartthrob playing them seem perversely out of place instead of hotter than ever.

For example, the psychological thriller “You” follows

an obsessive stalker-turnedmurderer played by “Gossip Girl” alum Penn Badgley in pursuit of a woman he thinks is his true love. Even though Badgley is a handsome guy, the show handles him like the threat he is. Through voice over, the audience can hear his inner monologue and how twisted his world view is.

There’s a way to handle complicated and interesting subjects when it’s time to make the jump from the bloody reality to the big screen. The public has only seen the trailer for “Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile,” so the film may redeem itself when it actually gets a wide release.

Maybe the movie will be a frank look at the strange subculture that worships Bundy.

Maybe Efron’s perfect abs — displayed prominently in the trailer when Bundy is brought to jail — are merely an entry to a meaningful examination of a twisted mind. Maybe it’s all harmless.

But maybe not.

Same Fair Same Vendors Different Day

aguiara@iu.edu @annabelaguiar

Of course I was a Renthead. Where else did I learn screlting (“scream belting”), a shallow history of the AIDS crisis and toxic ideas about bisexuality?

I slept many a ninth grade night with “Rent: Filmed Live on Broadway” playing on loop. Sometimes I’d mix it up and rewatch the 2005 “Rent” movie featuring the visibly aged original Broadway cast. I still have bootleg clips of “Rent” in rehearsals from 1996.

I’m now older, wiser and a theater major, so I have a few quibbles with “Rent” as a text and cultural force. Its author, Jonathan Larson, died just before its off-Broadway premiere. He left behind a work that’s structurally and socially imperfect, preserved in amber due to its tragedy.

All that said, I’ve never seen “Rent” live. After last night, I still haven’t. Hours before the 8 p.m. broadcast, Fox announced “Rent: Live”’s Roger, a musician named Brennin Hunt, rolled his ankle during the production’s final dress rehearsal.

The network would air a mixture of live performance and footage from final dress, which was filmed in case of injury or technical mishaps.

I’d just earnestly sung along to a pre-recorded “Light My Candle” when Fox aired a clip of Vanessa Hudgens and the rest of the cast saying Hunt was back from the hospital in a wheelchair with a broken foot.

The live audience would still see a performance with the cast improvising blocking around Hunt. TV audiences, however, would get the dress rehearsal. In the end, the only parts of “Rent: Live” that were actually live were the last three songs and

curtain call.

A dress rehearsal isn’t a performance. I could hear some cast members marking, or under-singing, their parts to preserve their voices ahead of the live recording.

As someone in constant recovery from tech week, I also experience dread at the words “dress rehearsal.”

Meanwhile, social media videos from the Fox sound stage audience offered glimpses of the actual performance, which took the form of a minimally staged, spirited concert reading.

One clip shows Hunt tearing through “Another Day” at Mimi’s actor Tinashe, who’s on the floor to meet his seated height.

“La Vie Boheme,” shown in dress rehearsal with a modular restaurant set, was redone sans tables so Hunt could be part of the blocking.

Actor Jordan Fisher, who played Mark, joined Mimi and Roger’s love duet “I Should Tell You” after he wheeled Hunt into place.

Fox eventually started posting its own footage of the live performance. Brandon Victor Dixon’s “I’ll Cover You” reprise is unsurprisingly even more devastating than the dress rehearsal clip.

You can take this as proof understudies are necessary even for one night only performances like “Rent: Live.” I wonder how much time the cast had to rehearse in their frankly hazardous-looking boots. Ensemble member Emerson Collins was made up to look ill when he played an HIV/AIDS patient in the song “Will I?” He wore ghostly foundation and what looked like infectious rashes on his face.

In this show that performs death and ailing bodies, why can’t we see Roger use a wheelchair?
