Members of the Ukrainian and Russian communities in South Florida gather in front of Hallandale Beach City Hall in support of Ukraine after Russian forces invaded the country earlier in the day, Feb. 24, 2022, in Hallandale Beach, Florida. IU lecturer Svitlana Melnyk said Ukraine is a sovereign, democratic country with the right to choose its own government and values.

Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24 Eastern European Standard Time, the IU Ukrainian community has faced anxiety for their people and fears for family and friends in the country.

At least 64 Ukrainian civilians have been killed and about 240 casualties have been reported in Ukraine as of Sunday, according to Reuters. Damage to civilian areas has left some Ukrainians without electricity or water and hundreds of homes have been completely destroyed.

The United Nations Refugee Agency reports more than 160,000 people have been displaced and more than 116,000 have fled Ukraine, according to Reuters.

IU lecturer Svitlana Melnyk is a Ukrainian native living in Bloomington. She said the attack is a full-scale war against Ukraine.

“It's a crime against humanity,” she said.

Melnyk’s family and friends currently live in the country. Her best friend celebrated her birthday and received many warm wishes in the hours leading up to the Russian attack on Ukraine.

Melnyk said at the end of her birthday, her best friend was grateful to be in her home, sleeping in her own bed, yet ready to run to a bomb shelter at a moment’s notice.

Melnyk said she has received supportive messages from current and former students and her colleagues.

“They understand that Ukrainian people will fight for their freedom and why they will fight for their freedom,” she said. “This fills my heart with the warm and deepest gratitude, because that’s so important for me and for all of us.”

Melnyk spoke with her niece Feb. 24 Eastern Standard Time, who said she was shocked by a Russian

TV channel’s description of Ukraine as the aggressor in the invasion.

Melnyk said her friends in Ukraine told her that the Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, urged the Ukrainian army to surrender. But the Ukrainian people, not just the army, are fighting for their country. The Ukrainian Territorial Defense Forces, a civilian reserve force, is believed to have more than 130,000 volunteers, according to The Washington Post.

“They stand for democracy, they stand for Ukraine right now — and they are dying for Ukraine right now,” she said.

Ukraine is a sovereign, democratic country with the right to choose its own government and values, Melnyk said.

“Our people do not need any Russian liberation and protection,” she said.

The war in Ukraine is not solely the country’s problem, but the entire world’s prob-

lem, Melnyk said. Ukraine stands for human rights and the right to choose its own destiny, which should not be dependent on Putin’s decisions, she said.

Ukraine needs support in the form of weapons, financial assistance and heavy sanctions against Russia, Melnyk said. She said she believes de-escalation in Ukraine is possible with the support of European countries and the United States.

Melnyk said she wants to start an initiative to teach a Ukrainian language class for beginners. Any interested students, staff or community members can contact Melnyk at smelnyk@indiana. edu. She said it’s important to teach others about the Russian invasion of Ukraine and provide verified information.

Fans over the age of 21 will be able to purchase beer at Indiana baseball and softball games this spring, according to an Indiana Athletics release Monday.

The expansion of beer sales at Bart Kaufman Field and Andy Mohr Field comes after Indiana Athletics introduced beer and wine sales at football games in Memorial Stadium back in the fall of 2019.

Indiana Athletics partnered with local business Upland Brewery for alcoholic beverages during football games, and the two parties have extended their agreement to include baseball and softball events.

"The response from our fans has been overwhelmingly positive about this option at IU football games, and we are excited to extend this opportunity to IU baseball and softball fans as well," Scott Dolson, Indiana Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, said.

Every customer who looks younger than 50 years old must present a valid, government-issued photographic identification documenting that they are of legal age to buy alcohol.

During nine-inning baseball games, concession stands at Bart Kaufman Field will stop selling beer at the start of the bottom of the seventh inning, right after the seventh-inning stretch.

For seven-inning softball games, the sale of beer at Andy Mohr Field will conclude at the beginning of the top of the fifth inning.

If either team plays multiple games on the same day, the timed rules will be put into place for the day's final matchup. To promote responsible fan behavior, customers will be limited to two alcoholic beverages per transaction and will not be able to purchase beer if they appear intoxicated.

“We’re excited to offer this new option to IU baseball and softball fans as we continue to enhance the gameday experience at our athletic events,” Dolson said.

Mayor John Hamilton gives seventh State of the City address

By David Wolfe Bender benderd@iu.edu | @dbenderpt

Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton gave his seventh State of the City address at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater on Feb. 24, propelling his administration’s message of “Forward Together” for the upcoming year.

Hamilton, who delivered his speech amid an international crisis in Ukraine, did not ignore the events halfway around the world, asking for a short moment of silence at the beginning of his address.

“It's a terrible tragedy, something not seen in Europe since World War II,” Hamilton said. “We have Ukrainians in our own community, and all of us together are sending our best wishes, our sadness, but also our best hope for resolve and for justice.”

Hamilton and Deputy Mayor Don Griffin both wore Ukrainian flag pins on their lapels.

The theme for this year’s address was “Forward Together,” a similar message to the city’s “Recover Forward” budget initiative. The city entered the third phase of that initiative with the 2022 budget.

“Tonight, I can report that

the state of the city is very strong,” Hamilton said. “We are making it through this global pandemic and recession. We are resilient. We are committed to each other and to Bloomington's future.”

Hamilton pointed to a few specific areas as reasons for strength and confidence.

Economy Hamilton raved about the state of Bloomington’s economy, but said there was still room for growth. He pointed to three major projects that spurred development and economic growth in the city.

The new IU Health Bloomington Hospital project moved the facility across the city and was nearly a $500 million investment, Hamilton said.

He pointed to Catalent — a major pharmaceutical company which has invested multiple billions of dollars into the city — as another driver for economic growth.

Hamilton also praised the federal government’s American Rescue Plan, a hallmark of President Joe Biden’s administration. Bloomington received $22 million from the plan, Hamilton said.

“It has protected businesses and families, and our social

safety net,” he said.

He also said Bloomington’s preliminary data suggest wages have started to grow in line with national trends.

Infrastructure and taxes Hamilton voiced support for a series of major investments, including investments in bike lanes, climate-related challenges, affordable housing, sidewalks and parks.

He said he’ll work with the Bloomington City Council in the coming weeks and months to find ways to generate additional revenue.

“We have a lot in front of us to walk the walk,” Hamilton said. “Challenging? Yes. But it’s also exciting.”

Hamilton, who said Bloomington’s income tax rates are lower than most areas of the state, suggested he supported an increase in tax rates. In September 2020, Hamilton supported a 0.25% increase to the local income tax rate.

“We do have substantial capacity to generate additional revenue,” he said.

COVID-19 It’s been almost two years since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Hamilton said he

is unsure of whether or not the worst of the pandemic is over, but that he is hopeful.

“Tonight, we are hopeful,” he said. “Tonight, we will look beyond the pandemic.”

He said while the city’s health system and response was stretched, it remained unbroken.

City council In what was a year of major hot-topic issues for the council, Hamilton said he was thankful for their work.

He specifically mentioned

the Recover Forward budget initiative, major updates to the city’s zoning code, and legislation relating to the city’s annexation in some of the surrounding areas of the city limits.

Hamilton said the remonstrance waivers — where homes targeted for annexation can dispute the city’s annexation effort — are in the process of being counted.

Monroe County residents said Jan. 7 they were confident they have the numbers to defeat annexation.

Housing Hamilton once again pointed to the old IU hospital site as the city’s next frontier for housing, including affordable housing options. The city announced Feb. 4 the old hospital site will be named “Hopewell.”

The masterplan at the 24-acre old IU hospital site includes long-term plans for new housing developments and office buildings. The city hopes for many of those housing units to be considered affordable.

‘Not surprised’ IU has not released a public statement after IDS misconduct investigation

By Cate Charron catcharr@iu.edu | @catecharron

Editor’s Note: This story includes mention of sexual violence.

Neither IU nor the Jacobs School of Music has publicly addressed the Indiana Daily Student investigation detailing how the university dealt with a sexual misconduct case.

Now, the local community is asking why a statement has not been made regarding the contents of the “Dissonance in due process” investigation or sexual assault on campus.

The investigation, published Jan. 27, takes an indepth look into how IU music student Chris Parker was found responsible for sexual assault by IU, violated his resulting suspension and was readmitted in 2020. According to a document obtained by the IDS, if Parker violated his suspension he should have been expelled or received police charges, or both. Neither happened, and his continued involvement in the Bloomington and IU jazz community has left students feeling unheard and unsafe.

IU and Jacobs did not respond for comment about the lack of a public statement.

“If they actually say something about it, that they need to acknowledge what happened, I honestly don’t know if there is a good enough answer that they could give for why Chris is back in school,” Shailey Ostlund said.

Ostlund spoke out in the IDS investigation as the student who reported Parker to IU after he sexually assaulted her. She said she feels the university is trying to suppress conversation about her case and other sexual assaults, but she is not surprised. Their re-

The Jacobs School of Music East Studio Building is seen March 1, 2022, on the corner of Third Street and Eagleson Avenue. Over a month since the Indiana Daily Student released an investigation into how the university handled a sexual misconduct case, neither the music school or IU have released a public statement about the situation.

fusal to respond is just as telling, she said.

“I really don’t think that the university has any sort of a moral high ground here,” Ostlund said. “In their silence, they’re admitting that as well.”

This inaction continues to create an environment where survivors of sexual assault feel they can’t speak up and are not being heard, Ostlund said. This not only affects those involved in this investigation but other survivors, especially those who are not comfortable speaking out or reporting their abuser, Ostlund said.

Now is the time for the university to speak out on issues of sexual assault, Ostlund said. With current public discourse making it more commonplace to talk about the issue, she said IU should have no problem coming for-

ward and supporting survivors of sexual assault.

She said no university officials have reached out to Ostlund personally since the story was published, but she didn’t think anyone would.

She said she is open to speaking about why her case transpired in the way it did and the pain the system caused her.

Community organization Shatter the Silence said in a statement to the IDS they too are not surprised about the absence of a statement from IU and response from IU administration. The local social justice organization, which advocates for survivors of sexual assault, removed themselves as an IU student group after complications stemming from a critical open letter about the topic.

“IU’s inaction in making a public statement, re-evaluat-

ing Parker’s case, nor changing the system that allowed Parker back on IU’s campus is a prime example of what the IU community means when we say IU does ‘nothing,’” the organization said in the statement.

Students in the Jacobs community are also questioning why more hasn’t been done to publicly address the findings of the investigation.

Internally, the music school held two town halls for students. The first was directed toward the Jazz Studies department, but those students felt faculty and administration were not listening to them. The second took place the night of Feb. 24 and was put on by the Jacobs Health & Wellness Committee. At the over two-hour town hall, students discussed with faculty and IU officials concerns and

responsible for OK’ing Chris Parker back on campus,” she said. “I want to know who that is.”

Goulet said she doesn’t believe there will be a larger university response at this point, and the burden of responding has fallen on her committee, which she says is not their function.

“It kind of takes away the responsibility on the administration to actually do something,” she said. “They’re the ones that can actually do something.”

This situation makes Goulet feel helpless, but she said she is encouraged by the number of people who came to the town hall to contribute to the conversation. Her advocacy on this issue will not stop, she said.

“This is just the beginning.”

questions stemming from the case but in a broader context.

Jacobs masters student Emma Goulet, a student member of the committee, said she was happy to see a strong student turnout. The larger Jacobs community has not discussed this issue as much as she’d like, she said, as it has been most heavily discussed in the jazz program.

However, she too said she doesn’t understand why a statement hasn’t been made about the handling of the case. She said the faculty do not hold any kind of power and cannot do more than holding town halls and speaking with students broadly on the matter. The people who do, who aren’t speaking on this, are those in IU’s administration, she said.

The IU Police Department will receive 12 picture communication boards to help them better communicate with non-verbal individuals. The boards are being provided by a grant from the Pso Lota Xi sorority.

By Haley Ryan haryan@iu.edu | @haleyr.jpeg

The IU Police Department will receive picture communication boards to help its officers better communicate with non-verbal individuals or those who may not speak English. The boards are part of a project funded by a grant from the Psi Iota Xi sorority.

Emergency communication boards are visual tools intended to assist emergency personnel in communicating with people who are not responding to verbal instructions or questions, according to Chileda, a living learning center dedicated to helping children with cognitive and behavioral challenges.

“Oftentimes, if you’re an individual with autism, and when you’re in a situation that’s very stressful, then you’re not able to produce the language that you need,” Kristie Brown Lofland, a speech pathologist and autism consultant, said.

The communication boards will be provided to all law enforcement agencies and first responders in Monroe County through a grant from the Psi Iota Xi sorority, a philanthropic organization that supports speech and hearing issues.

Lofland learned about the Psi Iota Xi grant from

a friend of hers who is a member. The friend asked Lofland to come up with an idea to use the grant for a cause relating to autism.

Lofland’s background is in speech language pathology, and she’s trained first responders in interacting with people with autism.

She came up with the idea to supply law enforcement agencies and first responders with picture communication boards after her neighbor’s autistic child left home without his parents’ knowledge. Lofland said a city worker found the young boy and called the police.

The boy could not communicate with the police officer.

Lofland said another neighbor happened to be walking the neighborhood, saw what was going on and was able to show officers where the boy lived.

“I’m watching this unfold, I’m like dang I wish they had a communication board or a way that they could communicate with him better so that he can understand what they wanted,” Lofland said.

Lofland contacted all the police agencies in Monroe County, the Ellettsville and Bloomington fire departments, the Indiana State Police and the IU Health ambulance service about the idea.

“Everybody responded favorably and said, ‘Oh my gosh, this is a tool we can really use,’” Lofland said.

The grant project is working with two companies, the Autism Channel and Crisis Prevention Institution, to make the boards, Lofland said.

Lofland said she plans to purchase 200 boards for Monroe County. It costs about $30 for 10 boards, and she’s receiving $750 from the Psi Iota Xi grant.

IUPD requested 12 boards, Bloomington Chief of Police Jill Lees said. This means there will be a board in each of their nine vehicles and three in the IUPD building.

Lees said she wants to ask IUPD’s Major of Public Safety Training and Education to incorporate the communication boards into their annual training.

“I just don’t want to throw them in the cars and say, ‘Hey, there’s communication boards out there, right?’” Lees said. “There’s a way to incorporate that training to give an officer a refresher and how these boards can be really vital to different investigations.”

The communication boards are another tool that will better help IUPD provide the best service possible, Lees said. Lees said IUPD is good at connecting

people to resources, and the boards will enable them to communicate with someone rather than contacting dispatch and asking for a sign language interpreter.

Alexus Lucas, co-president of the Neurodiversity Coalition at IU, said having communication boards could save lives.

“Having accommodations in law enforcement interactions really could be the difference between a situation that should just be a basic encounter and a situation that could be dire,” Lucas said.

Communication boards are just one tool in the larger scheme of bridging the gap between officers and the neurodiverse community, Lucas said.

“It can ease anxiety, and knowing that you have other options to communicate,” Lucas said.

Currently, the Psi Iota Xi grant only covers Monroe County, but Lofland is trying to get grants to provide communication boards to law enforcement agencies and first responders across the state.

“There’s a lot of reasons that I’m excited about bringing that together,” Lofland said. “But most of all, to be able to help individuals who can’t verbally communicate at the time and need help.”

Students and faculty expressed mixed reactions after IU announced Friday masks will no longer be required in indoor areas starting March 4.

Residence halls, classrooms, dining areas, common areas and athletic venues are areas where masks will not be required, according to an IU Today article.

Masks will still be required in health care settings and research areas, according to the article.

The Monroe County Community School Corporation also announced on Feb. 22 that it will no longer require masks be worn by students and staff.

Political science professor William Scheuerman believes the IU administration should have consulted staff and faculty before making a decision on the mask mandate.

“The decision to do this with masks was made without input from faculty,” Scheuerman said. “There’s a word for that, it’s called autocracy.”

The IU administration clarified that professors can encourage students to still wear masks in their classrooms. However, professors cannot make them wear one, Scheuerman said.

IU Chief Health Officer Dr. Aaron Carroll said in the article that personal choice should drive decisions on whether to mask or not.

“We all want to move beyond COVID, but why not wait a little bit until a few weeks after spring break,” Scheuerman said.

This decision to not require masks comes a week after the Indiana Department of Health released new guidance for K-12 schools saying it no longer recommends schools report COVID-19 cases.

“I’m vaccinated and boosted and so are the vast majority of students and staff,” IU freshman Eivin Sandstrom said. “I don’t really object to the decision.”

Professors cannot require students to wear masks in their classrooms, according to an IU COVID-19 FAQ page. Masks will still be available at the entryway of campus buildings.

“I would wear a mask if the professor asked the class to do it, but I am not sure if they have the authority to make the whole class do it,” Sandstrom said.

At IU-Bloomington, 94.7% of students and 93.9% of faculty and staff are at least partially vaccinated, according to IU’s COVID-19 dashboard.

From Feb. 10-16 there were 84 positive COVID-19 cases at IU-Bloomington, according to the dashboard.

That number increased from 69 positive cases reported from Feb. 3-9.

“I am probably still going to wear my mask, IU sophomore Maddie Rank said. “I don’t know if it was the best idea.”

DA’NASIA DID IT

Brighter days are coming soon

By Da’Nasia Pruitt pruittd@iu.edu | @danasialp

I have been waking up to the same gloomy day recently. The clouds hang above me, never leaving me alone.

Hanging over me like a reminder of grief.

Grief had come to accompany me almost every day like he was my best friend. I sometimes hate the way grief makes me feel, but I can’t seem to ask him to go away.

I became accustomed to his presence.

I tried my best to find something else to take grief’s place but nothing seemed to work. Grief would always be there waiting for me to come back. However, in the back of my mind, I knew I had to sever all ties with him.

It was time to create a plan.

The plan involved visiting the Oracle. Oracle was known for her amazing guidance. She helps those who seek her find answers to their problems and troubles. Everyone who visited her appeared to get better with each visit. I had to find a way to hide from grief so I could make my way to the Oracle.

I went to sleep that night hoping tomorrow wouldn’t

be gloomy so the clouds can’t signal grief to come to visit me.

When I opened my eyes and looked at the sky I saw the clouds were still there. So I rushed to make sure I saw the Oracle before grief arrived.

I arrived at the Oracle’s doorstep and just as I was about to knock she opened the door.

“I was expecting you,” Oracle said.

My eyes widened in shock.

She grabbed my hand leading me to her office.

I sat down in front of her and explained the trouble I’ve been having with grief and the clouds that hung over me. Oracle looked at me like she was in deep thought.

“You have to accept there will be some cloudy days,” she said. “You have to take it one day at a time. Be patient and the light will come. Now as for grief who keeps lingering around, you have to ask him to leave. Grief will stay around as long as you let him.”

I took in everything. I went home that night with a lot on my mind. I couldn’t sleep so I did something I haven’t done in a while. I meditated.

I thought about all the good things I would like to happen

ILLUSTRATION BY LAWREN ELDERKIN

in my life. I was finally able to close my eyes and sleep.

I woke up but nothing changed. I remembered the words of the Oracle. “Be patient.”

I felt grief creeping up on me as my day ended. A surge

of strength came over me, I gathered the courage to tell him to leave. I was no longer attached to grief. I broke the bond.

I went to sleep peacefully after the events of the day.

When I woke up the next

morning it felt like I was in a different world.

I felt different.

The sun was shining bright. It made my deep dark skin glow. It looked like I had millions of shimmering stars on my face. My coily thick hair

was reaching to the sky. The warmth from the sun gave me comfort.

I haven’t felt like this in a long time. I took this new day as a sign.

A sign that brighter days will be arriving soon.

Former, current Black IU student body presidents discuss leadership

Policing as a person of color—what people do not see

By Sara Molina molinas@iu.edu | @saramolina42

La’Maze Johnson speaks Feb. 24, 2022, at Evolution of Leadership in the Indiana Memorial Union Solarium room.

By Tiera Howleit thowleit@iu.edu | @officialtiera

IU Student Government and the Black Student Union led a panel event on the evolution of leadership Thursday. The panel discussion was directed by IU senior and BSU President Ariyonna Cousins. On the panel were four of the five Black student body presidents IU has had throughout its history.

According to their website, IUSG has served IU for more than 100 years since the first student council in 1912.

While the number of Black student body presidents has been small, the impact they have made on this campus has been remarkable.

From 1960 to 1961, Thomas I. Atkins served as the first Black student body president of IU and the first to serve in this capacity at any Big Ten School.

During his time as IU student body president, Atkins served as one of twelve members on the Board of Aeons and was IU’s first student to receive the U.S. Experiment in International Living grant.

Atkins created a legacy which has a lasting effect to this day as a living-learning center was created in his honor.

Keith Parker was the IU student body president from 1970 to 1971 and helped form the African studies program at IU. While serving as student body president, Parker was also a member of the Black Panther party and helped create food banks and day-

care centers on the IU campus.

As student body president, Parker did not have it easy in his role and said his biggest challenge was surviving.

“Our primary issue which was a nationwide issue at this time was recognizing not only did students have a voice but they had a right to have a voice,” Parker said. “We raised hell.”

From 1999 to 2000, La’Maze Johnson served as the third Black student body president nearly 30 years after the last Black student body president was sworn in.

Johnson prides himself and his administration on the completion of the campus bus service which was a challenge before his term.

Johnson said he would do his presidential experience all over again and enjoyed his time in his role.

“You create your own opportunity,” Johnson said.

“I did not wait for anybody to permit me to pursue the goals I set for myself. I just went and grabbed them.”

Johnson was convinced by white students to run for student body president and felt he could best represent them.

After Johnson came Michael Coleman. Coleman served as IU student body president from 2010 to 2011 and his administration worked on several campus resources which are still in existence to this day.

Coleman and his administration pride themselves on the achievement of DoubleMap and fall

break.

“We were using cellphones just so we could GPS track the buses so you could know where the bus was based on where the phone was,” Coleman said.

Coleman said one of the struggles of diverse leadership lies in economics.

“As executives, we would get $3,000 - $4,000 a year,” Coleman said. “Being a Groups student and with my parents never going to college, I was supposed to be the successful one coming out of college. For me to say I would not accept the stipend did not seem like a possibility.”

Our current student body president, Ky Freeman, connects all of the past presidents in a way in which their legacy continues through him.

Freeman’s administration is working on increasing the safety of the campus mostly through sexual assault awareness as well as in the realm of diversity, equity and inclusion.

“My biggest accomplishment has been this message of radical love even in the moments when people have not loved me back,” Freeman said. “I naturally want to protect people and in that protection, it is making sure I face the brunt of it so others do not.”

Freeman has used his voice and administration to bridge the gap between the many lived experiences of the diverse people who represent all spectrums of the world at IU. Black history at IU is quite rich, is not monolithic and is collectively powerful.

When you picture a police officer in your head, what does that person look like?

Chances are, you pictured a white man. According to a 2021 Zippia study, 64.9% of officers in the United States are white and 78.8% are men.

IU senior Rebecca Williams is a cadet within IU Police Department through their two-year Cadet Officer Program. Williams said she hopes to attend graduate school for social work when she graduates, but is gaining knowledge of various law enforcements through the program now.

“We patrol campus throughout the day and we can be the resource that gets someone to people who can help,” Williams said. “My goal with being part of this program was to learn more about how police interact with the community and where I can fit in as a social worker.”

Williams identifies as a biracial Black woman, and although she is not working in a city police department, she recognizes the lack of diversity in policing everywhere.

She said increasing diversity in policing may provide a bridge between police and the community, and BIPOC officers might be able to better understand certain situations.

“I think with more representation and more diversity, it could be an opening to more community-based policing,” Williams said. “I can take my experiences I have had as a person of color and hope that other people of color would feel more comfortable coming to me.”

Because Williams is a student, she could not speak for minority or wom-

en police officers in city departments.

However, Gabriela Esquivel has more experience as a MexicanAmerican patrol officer for the Bloomington Police Department.

Growing up in Chicago, Esquivel faced childhood hardships that have pushed her to become the officer she is today. Like Williams, Esquivel is able to help more people because of her identity and the experiences that come with it, whether that be through speaking Spanish with them or understanding cultural differences.

“I had my own rough childhood and there were a lot of things that I was like, ‘I can do better for other people where people didn’t do better for me’,” Esquivel said. “When you’ve been a victim of certain situations, it makes it easier for you to identify what it is you are looking at.”

Esquivel recognizes the stigma around police officers today, and she works every day to be a light for officers who do want to make a difference. Esquivel has been a resource for her department to learn about underrepresented communities.

“Back in the day, it used to be considered a very noble profession, and nowadays it is kind of like you go in with the understanding that nobody is gonna like you,” Esquivel said. “Nobody hates bad cops more than cops. BPD asks me informative questions to learn a little bit more.”

This stigma has made it more difficult to increase diversity in the police force.

“I still get comments from my family like ‘That’s what you get for being a cop,’” Esquivel said. “So it’s hard for minorities to come and do this job because you know that you’re gonna be ostracized by the

public.”

The discrimination Esquivel has faced comes not only from her family, but also from the public.

“I have been called a spic and a dirty Mexican and all kinds of things by the public while in uniform,” Esquivel said.

She said she has not experienced many direct tribulations from other officers, but she thinks diversity training is important to have. She recalls one year of diversity training where generalizations surprised and almost offended white officers.

Esquivel said the exercise was to name generalizations about every ethnic group, and her class had roughly ten people of color in comparison to 160 white people.

“The majority of the class had no problems giving a generalization for every race until we got to the white race and none of them had anything to say,” Esquivel said. “So we, the Hispanics, all raised our hands.”

Esquivel said that the white officers in the room began defending their generalizations, saying they were not true.

“It became very eyeopening because we could sit there and let them come up with all these generalizations about our cultures but when we said anything about theirs they kept saying it is not true,” Esquivel said. “But that’s why it is called a generalization.”

Increasing the amount of BIPOC in policing could benefit so many people. It could restore trust to see someone another person of color who you can relate to in uniform. These women are doing important work every day.

“I enjoy it, but I really enjoy doing it in this uniform,” Esquivel said.

» UKRAINE

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 man beings,” she said. *** IU alumna Olesia Markovic grew up in Ukraine and currently lives in Kyiv, the country’s capital. In an email to the Indiana Daily Student, she said many Ukrainians didn’t believe the invasion would happen despite Western intelligence warnings.

However, she felt it would happen, but no one was pre-

pared for it.

Markovic said some of her friends with children left for safer places, some stayed in Kyiv and some joined territorial defense teams.

“We all do what we can,” she wrote. “I can not fire a weapon, but I can inform global audiences about what’s happening here. I can donate money to the Ukraine army.”

Markovic said the Ukrainian military has shown Putin

his attack on Ukraine was a mistake.

“We will resist,” she wrote.

“But we need strong support of the rest of the world.” *** Iryna Voloshyna, an IU international and Ph.D. student from Ukraine living in Bloomington, said she was not surprised by the attack, given Russian aggression has been prevalent for years.

Voloshyna said her family and friends were unsure what to do after the attack.

Like Markovic’s friends, some of Voloshyna’s friends are in Kyiv, others fled to safer areas or are hiding in shelters.

“I am very worried here for them and I’m doing everything to support them,” she said. “But I don’t know how it feels to be in the shelters locked with your family, with small children, with your animals, your pets, for days.”

Voloshyna said she and her friends feel after the war they must come back to Ukraine and help rebuild the country.

“I know that Ukraine will win because people are incredible and the truth is on our side,” she said. “I feel like I have moral obligation to go back to Ukraine and stay there and work there and pay my taxes there.”

Voloshyna said she thinks other countries need to stand

up and help. She is frustrated with the United Nations for letting this attack happen.

“I am sick of the deep concerns that everybody’s expressing,” she said. “Where have you been all these years?”

Voloshyna said she wants people to understand Ukraine is preventing a war from breaking out throughout Europe.

“I’m proud to be Ukrainian,” she said.

Marketing based on trending issues creates a bad look

THE VALADEZ VIEW

Human differences need to be accepted Elizabeth Valadez (she/her) is a freshman studying English and political science.

find. Rather, as we are becoming adults and assuming additional responsibilities, we should, at the very least, understand we have a say in what happens in the city.

Regardless of whether you normally vote, contact your district representatives and talk to them about what issues are concerning you.

They want to hear their constituents' concerns, large and small. If there’s a pothole that needs to be filled on your street, call the public works department and let them know.

Our elected officials and our city government can’t effectively serve you if they don’t know what it is that you need.

If someone believes the earth is flat, most people think they’re delusional.

Though scientifically, we know that theory is a result of grave disillusionment, we don’t often stop to think about how a person could have been led so astray.

Who or what conditioned them to have this belief? Because they believe this, does that mean the rest of their belief system is faulty? Though I don’t wish to imply in any capacity that fact is something that can be contested, the disagreement with flatearthers highlights a bigger social phenomenon.

As humans, many of us are quick to be narrow-minded and see others for a singular belief. But we need to recognize our complex nature and start valuing the matter of perspective.

Admittedly, perspective is something I have often lacked. Until I came to Bloomington, I was convinced that people of a particular ideology had a very streamlined way of thinking.

This applied to conservatives, Christians or any other group.

Obviously, my old way of thinking was flawed. But now in college, I’ve been exposed to a variety of seemingly similar people who have vastly different beliefs. Though this knowledge of their differences doesn’t change the disagreement I have with certain groups, it does help broaden my previously narrow perspective.

People are human beings before they are their beliefs. So before we condemn others for being different, we need to remember that they mean a lot to the people around them. Just like us, those on the opposite side of the religious or political spectrum have purpose too.

This doesn’t discount the fact that racism, homophobia and all of the other horrible ideologies that plague the world are wrong. But, it does allow us to see how people’s minds have been shaped, our similarities in that process of conditioning and how we can still come together to make decisions and inhabit shared spaces.

Human thought is complex, and an important part of recognizing the gray areas outside of black and white binaries is reckoning with this complexity. Someone can be part of the LGBTQ community and be Christian. Another person could identify as a man and be a feminist.

While this seems out of the ordinary — to me at least — that doesn’t mean it’s wrong. Stereotypes about these groups of people won’t help us make any social or political progression. Emphasizing our differences only pits us against one another, and we’re in a time of such harsh division that unity is extremely necessary.

But when it feels like common ground can’t be found, what should we do?

We can watch TED Talks about the art of finding commonality. Or, we can watch TikTok videos from Abbie Richards, a popular disinformation and extremism researcher who helps people understand extreme and uninformed ideologies.

To reiterate the age-old phrase, we need to treat others the way we want to be treated. If we want our beliefs to be respected, why don’t we do the same for others?

It’s OK to condemn hate.

But it’s not OK to condemn simple differences. We need to have conversations with people of different races, political ideologies, religions, cultures and everything else in between.

At the end of the day, all of us would feel a lot less disconnected if we looked at our common denominator: being human.

ILLUSTRATION BY JULIETTE ALBERT

Kara Acinapuro (she/her) is a junior studying media advertising with a minor in marketing.

It seems that nowadays, there are advertisements everywhere lurking in the shadows and waiting to pounce at your wallet. From advertisements on TV to social media, it’s hard to get away from the constant feeling of being targeted to empty your pockets and buy things you don’t need.

The utter persistence of advertisements creates an uneasy feeling that companies only look at customers with dollar signs in their eyes. Advertisements nowadays even masquerade themselves as things like authentic social media posts from your favorite influencer. It’s hard to tell what’s genuine.

Advertising has an extensive history and has even

been around since about 2000 BC. But it's innovative — new types of advertising emerge as technology advances. One particularly new advancement is cause marketing, which many argue first began use in advertising sometime in the 1970s.

Cause marketing is a strategy where companies advocate for a cause, like promoting mental health awareness or body positivity, and tie it into their marketing efforts to show that the brand stands for something but primarily in hopes to raise sales. It is powerful in showcasing that a certain brand isn’t just defined by what it sells but also by what it represents.

Many companies, however, miss the mark while using this method and come across as cringingly inauthentic and as simply engaging in virtue signaling. This is the act of publicly supporting a cause to

seem politically correct and to shine a good light on yourself or your company.

It’s important for the success of a cause marketing campaign to choose a cause that’s actually related to the company and what it sells.

This decision shows customers that your company is keen on creating change in the world through what your brand does.

Many companies foolishly choose to honor a social movement only because it’s trending and then make a lazy attempt to connect it to their company. Often, a company’s real intent is to reap the benefits from being part of a conversation on a topic that’s being talked about a lot. Ads associated with popular causes tend to gain more attention.

Companies hope to sell more products without investing the appropriate amount of time and resources in their

cause needed to effectively foster social change.

Burger King’s notorious 2019 “#FeelYourWay” campaign — providing corresponding meals based on customers’ sad moods — exemplifies how spotlighting an unrelated cause is tacky and makes it seem like a company is trying too hard to be relevant. It raises awareness about de-stigmatizing mental health, but it fails to connect its product to this topic in a meaningful way.

So what is the right amount to invest in a cause marketing campaign to actually be able to make a change?

While bringing awareness to a particular movement is a good start, brands need to also provide resources to help people who are suffering from things related to that cause.

Dove’s Self-Esteem Project is a cause marketing initiative that was executed flawlessly

by both creating uplifting advertisements about body positivity and providing resources that promote confidence, offering guides, tips and more for kids and parents surrounding this issue.

Cause marketing, arguably growing more and more popular every year, is still difficult for some companies to implement in a genuine and tasteful way. Unfortunately many companies have failed to plan solid cause marketing campaigns and have damaged their reputations as a result.

On the bright side, companies can learn from other companies' mistakes and know what not to do. When done right, cause marketing is a powerful vehicle in sparking difference in the world and I’m looking forward to seeing more great cause marketing in the future. kacinapu@iu.edu

SEAN’S SYNOPSIS

Student involvement in local government is low, but necessary

IDS FILE PHOTO BY ETHAN LEVY

Early voters wait in line to cast their vote Oct. 6, 2020, at 401 W. Seventh St. Sean Gilley (he/him) is a senior studying political science and economics with a certificate in informatics.

Over the past few decades, the lens through which people view all politics, especially local politicians and elections, has become increasingly nationalized. This shift moves everyday citizens’ focus from local and municipal government to national politics and news — and this includes students as well.

This is the most crucial of times in students' lives to invest more effort into learning about and being involved in local politics and government. It may not be as flashy or exciting, but students must learn the importance of their civic duty

to the city they live in, even if it’s for a short period of time.

Last semester, I spent my Wednesday nights watching Bloomington City Council meetings and reporting on legislation that often required hours of deliberation. I was lucky enough to be able to view it via Zoom at my house and not have to travel to the Bloomington City Council building.

Oddly enough, every time I logged onto a council meeting, I saw very few, if any, students in attendance other than myself.

Now I understand not every student finds City Council as riveting as I do, or even has the time to make it to their regular weekly meetings. However, since nearly 50,000 students

currently attend IU-Bloomington, I thought I’d see a few more.

Believe me, City Council and their interaction with other city departments and citizens can have a steep learning curve. But I argue that at a time where students are not only learning what career they wish to pursue, they must also determine what capacity they have to lend their voice to local government.

Last month I began volunteering for professor Isak Asare’s congressional campaign, and during one of our regular meetings, councilmember Steve Volan came to talk about local elections and the importance of voter precincts.

During his talk, Volan mentioned how most IU

students aren’t aware of the City Council’s existence, who the councilmembers for their respective districts are, or what the councilmembers do for the city.

Volan said he’s surprised there isn’t a student on City Council with a large proportion of Bloomington’s population being students.

I agree with Volan — this is a glaring issue for a city as unique as Bloomington.

Government is supposed to be representative of the people they deliberate and advocate for. How can ours successfully do so when most students aren’t even aware of which councilmember represents them.

I’m not saying every student should try to run an entire campaign for any open local seat they can

Indiana sweeps Hofstra University Indiana earns first win in Round Rock Classic

Then-senior outfielder Gabbi Jenkins celebrates getting on base against Michigan on March 26, 2021, at Andy Mohr Field. Indiana went 3-2 over the weekend at the Unconquered Invitational in Tallahassee, Florida.

By Griffin Healy healygr@iu.edu | @TheGriffinHealy

Indiana softball finished 3-2 this weekend at the Unconquered Invitational in Tallahassee, Florida. Indiana swept Hofstra University and then got swept by No. 3 Florida State University.

Indiana went 2-2 at the First Pitch Classic the weekend before, and head coach Shonda Stanton noticed improvement from the last time the team played.

“We got better this weekend,” Stanton said. “You want to continue making progress as a team.”

Hofstra Indiana beat Hofstra 8-4 on Friday. Graduate student third baseman Grayson Radcliffe hit her first home run of the season to center field in the bottom of the first inning to put the Hoosiers on the board.

Indiana’s pitching staff recorded 15 strikeouts during the game, nine of which came from freshman pitcher Brianna Copeland. Six came from freshman pitcher Heather Johnson.

In the second matchup on Saturday, sophomore pitcher Macy Montgomery pitched a complete game for a 4-0 win.

Junior second baseman Cora Bassett hit an inside the park home run that put the Hoosiers up 1-0 after the top half of the first inning. Senior utility player Brittany Ford doubled in the third inning and was replaced by pinch runner junior utility player Abby Meeks. Meeks then scored on a single from senior left fielder Juvia Davis to put the Hoosiers up 3-0.

Indiana defeated Hofstra 6-0 in the two teams’ final game on Sunday. Sophomore catcher Lindsey Warick started the scoring for Indiana with an RBI single down

the right field line in the second inning.

Bassett then hit a one-run home run to make it 2-0. Indiana was able to capitalize on errors from Hofstra and score two runs, extending the lead to 4-0. Sophomore utility player Grace Lorsung hit a sacrifice fly to get sophomore shortstop Brooke Benson home for the RBI. Warick hit the final RBI to get junior left fielder Tatum Hayes home and win the game.

No. 3 Florida State Indiana lost its first game to Florida State 9-0 on Friday.

Florida State got the scoring started with a three-run home run in the bottom of the first inning, and Indiana was unable to respond.

Florida State carried its momentum into the fourth inning, scoring six runs to end the game in the fifth inning due to the NCAA mercy rule,

which states the game stops if one team is ahead by eight or more runs after five innings.

The second game, in which Indiana lost 3-1, was far more competitive.The first run wasn’t scored until the fourth inning, when Hayes came in to pinch run.

She stole second base, getting in position to score on a hit from Warick. But despite the early Indiana lead, a three-run rally during the bottom of the sixth inning put Florida State on top to win the game.

Indiana will head back home to Andy Mohr Field in Bloomington, Indiana, for its home season opener against Valparaiso University at 1 p.m. Saturday.

Indiana will play a total of four games Saturday and Sunday, with two against Valparaiso University and two against Western Illinois University.

COLUMN: McLaughlin joins IndyCar’s top contenders

By Colin Kulpa ckulpa@iu.edu | @ColinKulpa

In 2020, New Zealand’s Scott McLaughlin won his third-straight championship for DJR Team Penske in the Australian Supercars series.

He felt he needed a change of pace, though, and left to join Team Penske’s IndyCar team for the 2021 season.

Nothing seemed to gel for McLaughlin on the track, and though the 28-year old showed moments of speed in his rookie IndyCar season, he only finished on the podium once.

Now, in his second season, McLaughlin has already had the best possible start a driver can have. He’s already shown signs of becoming one of the biggest surprises of the NTT IndyCar Series this season.

McLaughlin won Sunday’s Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg after grabbing pole position during qualifying, and his performance this weekend could set the stage for an impressive individual season ahead.

McLaughlin, known as “The Kiwi,” pulled away from the start, taking his No. 3 Dex Imaging Team Penske Chevrolet far enough ahead of the pack to avoid dropping out of first place. Despite a caution in the middle of the race and an ensuing battle of pit strategy that lasted right to the finish line, McLaughlin’s race remained unaffected.

As the race reached its closing stages, a duel between McLaughlin and defending series champion Alex Palou would ultimately decide the winner. Palou’s No. 10 NTT Chip Ganassi Honda chased down McLaughlin through the final 15 laps as McLaughlin was slowed down by lapped cars.

Palou’s teammate Jimmie Johnson did a particularly strong job holding up McLaughlin and drawing Palou closer before he conceded to the leaders and let them safely pass.

With around five laps to

Indiana baseball traveled to Round Rock, Texas, this past weekend and lost two out of three games in the Karbach Round Rock Classic.

The Hoosiers played against No. 2 University of Arkansas, University of Louisiana at Lafayette and No. 6 Stanford University in the round-robin event from Friday to Sunday. The round-robin format sees each team play each other once, with the weekend’s champion decided through the best record.

Indiana fell against its two top-10 ranked opponents in the series opener and finale, respectively, but earned its first win of the 2022 season with a 12-4 victory over Louisiana-Lafayette on Saturday.

Indiana’s Friday starter, junior John Modugno, threw a career-high five innings and allowed three earned runs against Arkansas. Modugno came one inning shy of pitching a quality start, but nevertheless recorded his second loss of the season.

Arkansas scored three runs in the top of the fourth inning to extend the lead to 4-0. However, Modugno returned in the bottom of the fifth inning and strongly finished his outing by pitching a scoreless frame.

“What I was excited to see was (that) John recovered,” Indiana head coach Jeff Mercer said after Friday’s game. “(He came) back out and finished the next inning and give our bullpen a chance to go two and two (innings each) to finish out the game.”

Hoosier pitchers freshman Grant Holderfield and senior Bradley Brehmer relieved Modugno and tossed two innings apiece without allowing a single earned run.

Brehmer’s performance on Friday was a significant improvement from his outing at Clemson University two weeks ago in Indiana’s opening series, when he allowed six earned runs in one inning.

Freshman Josh Pyne plated his first career run in the fifth inning, and Phillip Glasser scored on a misplayed ground ball in the eighth, but it didn’t make up for the low run production in the Hoosiers’ 5-2 defeat to the Razorbacks.

Like Modugno, junior right-handed pitcher Jack Perkins hurled five innings on Saturday, allowing two earned runs while striking out seven Louisiana-Lafay-

ette batters.

Perkins almost ran into deep trouble in the fourth inning and walked backto-back hitters and balked, an illegal move that moved both runners up one base and into scoring position.

Despite the two-on, no-out situation, Perkins managed to escape the inning relatively unscathed and allowed just one run.

“I felt like I tried to go after them and attack them,” Perkins said after Saturday’s game. “They did a great job of laying off some good pitches early on, but I felt like I made them when they mattered.”

Indiana’s offense had an explosive seven-run third inning that provided Perkins with a cushion prior to his stressful fourth inning.

Sophomore Bobby Whalen and freshman Brock Tibbitts each posted their second multi-hit games of the 2022 season, and Whalen batted in a team-high three runs. Junior Matthew Ellis and sophomore Morgan Colopy also hit their second and first solo home runs of the season against the Ragin’ Cajuns, respectively.

Following Indiana’s 12run burst and solid pitching in Saturday’s victory, both factors vanished in the team’s 13-0 shutout loss in its weekend finale against No. 6 Stanford on Sunday.

Sophomore Reese Sharp pitched three and one-third innings and allowed five earned runs on six hits in the loss. Juniors Ty Bothwell and Nathan Stahl came in from the bullpen and allowed eight earned runs in two and two-third innings combined.

Stanford scored five runs in the sixth inning to take a 13-run lead, forcing Indiana to score at least four runs in the top of the seventh to avoid getting mercy-ruled by 10 or more runs.

The seven-inning rule was implemented presumably due to player agreements and the busy schedule since two games between the rest of the teams at the event still needed to be played before the end of the day.

Indiana failed to score in the seventh inning and repeatedly struggled to plate runners on base. The Hoosiers stranded runners on first and second four times throughout Sunday’s game, batting 1-for-9 with runners on and 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position.

Indiana drops to 1-5 with the two-loss weekend.

MEN’S SWIM AND DIVE COURTESY PHOTO

Team Penske IndyCar driver Scott McLaughlin celebrates after winning the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on Feb. 27, 2022, in St. Petersburg, Florida. It was McLaughlin’s first win in the NTT IndyCar Series and required holding off defending series champion Alex Palou.

go, rookie Delvin DeFrancesco stayed committed to holding up both McLaughlin and Palou for as long as he could. This was no easy feat for DeFrancesco, though, as his car wiggled and struggled to apply power out of corners of the tight street circuit right in front of McLaughlin.

McLaughlin didn’t get around DeFrancesco by the race’s end, but he didn’t need to. Palou may have been faster, but the former series champion didn’t take any unnecessary risks like he had in the past. Rather, Palou kept his eyes set on the bigger prize rather than jeopardizing both his and McLaughlin’s championship hopes in the first race of the 2022 season.

That said, McLaughlin’s win was well deserved. He drove a great race on Sunday, never put himself or his team in a perilous position and refused to give Palou any easy chances to steal the win away.

Even on Saturday, McLaughlin posted a 108.948 mph qualifying lap that de-

feated teammate Will Power’s time for first place. Power has the second most pole positions in series history with 63, only four behind Mario Andretti. Defeating him in the final round is tough, and McLaughlin accomplished it.

McLaughlin’s win was reminiscent of Palou’s maiden victory last season. Palou won the first race of the season, and used that to kickstart his championship drive.

McLaughlin has the equipment and the team to do the same, and if he can consistently compete as he did this weekend he’ll be a factor on the season’s final weekend at Laguna Seca.

Sunday was a special day for McLaughlin, but bittersweet at best. On Saturday, McLaughlin said he hadn’t seen his family in two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic while he pursued his dream of racing in America.

On Sunday, after his first win stateside, he became emotional in victory lane talking about his parents.

“I miss my mom and dad dearly and my family,”

McLaughlin said. “Wish you guys were here. What a day.”

He wasn’t too sad with the weekend’s results, though.

His celebration in victory lane — leaping from his car, falling onto his back only to jump back into the scrum of the team celebration, then later, channeling Australian Formula One driver Daniel Riccardo by drinking champagne from his racing shoe — may very well go down in IndyCar history.

This win is a sign of McLaughlin’s arrival in the top tier of the series. The Firestone Grand Prix is IndyCar’s longest street circuit race. It takes place in the hot and humid Florida sun and, as the first race of the season, comes when many drivers aren’t quite race fit, or in some cases haven’t sat in a race car since September.

Despite all of the excuses he could’ve made and a direct challenge from the defending series champion, McLaughlin pulled off a perfect weekend. If he can keep it up, he might just add his name to the Astor Cup.

Indiana wins first Big Ten Championship since 2019

By Mara Belansky marbelan@iu.edu | @mbelansky_

Indiana men’s swim and dive finished the 2022 Big Ten Men’s Championships on Saturday with a first-place title and plenty to celebrate. The first-place conference finish brings the program to its fourth championship title in six years, and 28th in program history.

The Hoosiers took first place with a score of 1499.5. Behind them in second place was Ohio State with a score of 1406.5, and Michigan took third place with 1056.6.

“This was truly a team effort,” head swimming coach Ray Looze said. “I’m so proud of our fantastic swimmers and divers, and I am grateful for our staff of coaches, director of operations, and administrators who made this possible.”

The weekend featured many Hoosier highlights of career-best records, NCAA A Cut times and other historic moments.

The 400-yard medley relay squad of junior Brendan Burns, sophomore Tomer Frankel and freshmen Josh Matheny and Rafael Miroslaw beat out Ohio State to take first place with a time of 3:00.95, setting a Big Ten Championship record and an NCAA A Cut time to qualify them for the postseason.

With the win, Indiana’s 400-yard medley has held first place in the event for the seventh straight season. This is the 28th time that Indiana won the event, marking a Big Ten record.

Five plant care tips to get your indoors feeling like spring Words by Alex Hardgrave ahardgra@iu.edu

Illustrations by Lawren Elderkin lelderki@iu.edu

Maybe you already have a collection of plants, but some Mayb of them need some extra tender loving care. you worried about buying that plant because you Or you’re don’t have a green thumb. Well, here are some tips d and tricks for keeping those plants happy, healthy and green for spring!

1. It’s better to underwater than to overwater your plants.

According to The Sill, too much water can lead to root rot, so instead of watering plants on a schedule, do it when the plant needs it. If your soil is dry 2 inches deep, then it’s time to water.

2. Be mindful with how you water your plants.

Make sure the water is room temperature because cold water could shock the plants. Also, use filtered water if you can because tap water can have harmful minerals. Water the plants until water drains out of the hole in the bottom of the pot, even if it’s a plant that prefers dry soil.

You could also try watering plants from the bottom, by setting the pot in a saucer or shallow pan, according to Almanac.

3. Be sure to replant.

Replant your plant if it starts to outgrow the pot. You can tell if it has overgrown by the roots circling inside the pot. Transfer it to a larger pot and make sure it has drainage. Spring and summer are the best seasons for repotting your plants, according to Better Homes & Gardens.

4. Protect your plants from bugs and flies.

Start by cutting off any parts that look incredibly damaged by the bugs.

The article from Plant Hill Nursery titled, “How to Get Rid of Bugs on Indoor Plants” or other online resources can help you identify which type of bug you’re dealing with. You can also invest in a general indoor plant insecticide or try neem oil to combat bugs.

5. Label your plants.

Labeling plants will help you keep track of each plant’s individual needs.

Look up the water and sunlight requirements for your plants to keep them alive and healthy.

You can cut out and use some of our handy labels below.

Granfalloon to return for first time since start of pandemic

By Grant Wheeler grawheel@iu.edu | @wh33lg

After a two-year absence due to COVID-19, the Granfalloon festival is back this summer, taking place June 1-5 at the Gayle Karch Cook Center for Public Arts and Humanities and other locations in the heart of Bloomington.

The festival will feature a number of local artists, writers and musicians, with indie bands Car Seat Headrest and Japanese Breakfast headlining the event on June 4.

Along with these musical performances, Granfalloon will feature events curated by the Indiana University Writers’ Conference and the Bloomington Handmade Market.

“The festival is designed to showcase Bloomington arts culture and to kick off the summer festival season,” Ed Comentale, director of the IU Arts and Humanities Council, said.

The event’s schedule includes displays by local artists, two new plays written

by Bloomington playwrights, and musical performances by local bands. The headlining performances will be free and take place on Kirkwood Avenue. VIP tickets, as well as tickets for venue events, will be available March 1.

In its 82nd year, but only its first partnering with Granfalloon, the IU Writers’ Conference will feature readings from recipients of the Indiana Author Awards, as well as workshops and classes taught by local writers.

Local writers include Melissa Febos, Ashley C. Ford and IU alumnus Peter Kispert. Workshops will take place in the Cook Center from June 2-5.

As the festival is inspired by the work and life of Kurt Vonnegut, the Kurt Vonnegut Library and Museum will be presenting “Vonnegut @ 100: A Century of Stories”

on June 1. The Indianapolisbased museum will be showcasing rare manuscripts and other relics from their collection.

The exhibit will also feature an enormous timeline created by Louisiana artist Chris King detailing Vonnegut’s life, and copies of a new biography entitled “Breaking Down Vonnegut” by museum founder and CEO Julia Whitehead.

This year’s festival is themed around Vonnegut’s novel “Galapagos,” which deals with ideas of environmental catastrophe and the end of the world. In working with this theme, Granfalloon will feature panels relating to environmental sustainability. Comentale said, of the theme, “We are planning to make this an environmentally sustainable fest. [...] We hope that it becomes a model for other environmentally progressive festivals for the city and the region.”

This year, for the first

» BIG TEN

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 third in the 3-meter dive, scoring a 451.40 to secure two medals at his first Big Ten Championships. His score in the 3-meter dive was also a career-best.

“I saw the divers feeding off the energy from the swimmers and the team standings,” Johansen said.

“Andrew winning with his teammates Quinn and Carson right behind him was electric.”

To add to his three gold medals, Capobianco was named Big Ten Diver of the Championships for the second-straight year.

Indiana’s also dominated in the 100-yard backstroke, taking first, third and fourth.

Burns led the charge with a pool, Big Ten and program record with a time of 44.31. He stretched out to beat Ohio State by less than half a second to grab the fastest 100-yard backstroke time in the country and put up a career-best time in the event.

Senior Gabriel Fantoni, a four-time Big Ten 100-yard backstroke champion, took third with a time of 45.05, and senior Jacob Steele placed fourth, timing in at 45.66.

Burns also helped his 800-yard freestyle relay squad of Miroslaw, Frankel and senior Van Mathias earn gold with a pool record and an NCAA A Cut time of 6:11.96. The win was Indiana’s fourth 800-yard freestyle relay win in the last six years.

Burns’ totaled five gold medals leading him to be honored with his second straight — and Indiana’s sixth straight — Big Ten

time in the 400-yard medley relay is now the fastest time in the country for the 2021-22 season, beating the original time from 2018 of 3:01.30, also set by Indiana swimmers.

Winning this event was important for Indiana’s campaign for the title. Looze said the team needed a big jolt of energy, and winning the relay helped set them up to win the whole competition.

The 200-yard freestyle relay squad of seniors Bruno Blaskovic, Van Mathias and Jack Franzman, and Miroslaw took home silver with a time of 1:15.81, securing an NCAA A Cut time for the postseason.

Diving also gave Indiana the momentum it needed to secure the competition.

Senior Andrew Capobianco swept gold in all three diving events, marking the first sweep of diving events in the conference since 2011.

Capobianco scored a 454.25 in the 1-meter dive and freshman Quinn Henninger secured silver with a 435.95, a career-best for the Big Ten newcomer. This was Capobianco’s second straight Big Ten 1-meter title and Indiana’s eighth 1-meter dive victory in 10 years.

“It was a great day for Hoosier diving today,” Indiana head diving coach Drew Johansen said. “Andrew and Quinn were spectacular in the final. It was one of the best 1-meter finals I have seen in all my years.”

Capobianco also secured the 3-meter dive and platform dive gold medals, scoring a 467.75 in the 3-meter dive. Henninger came in
