Delta Chi accused of hazing By Christine Stephenson cistephe@iu.edu | @cistephenson23
The IU chapter of Delta Chi has been suspended, IU spokesperson Chuck Carney confirmed. The chapter was suspended by the university Friday due to violations of the IU student code of conduct and the Greek Agreement regarding hazing, Carney said in an email. Members of the chapter must stop all organizational activity and disband as a recognized student organization, Carney said. The chapterâs annual philanthropy, Miss Greek IU, was set for March 31. The event is no longer happening, Theta Phi Alpha contestant Stephanie Curry said. Delta Chi is not the first suspended chapter at IU this school year. TY VINSON | IDS

The entrance doors to the underground system of tunnels are tucked away in plain sight on campus. Though the tunnels are physically unsafe for people to travel, there are numerous videos online of people venturing into them.
IU sweeps Michigan State over weekend
Are there tunnels under IU? By Annie Aguiar aguiara@iu.edu | @anabelaguiar
A reader asked: âAre the tunnels under IU real or not?â The answer is yes, they are. If youâre walking on campus, thereâs a chance youâre walking over a complex underground tunnel system that most people at IU will never see. The tunnels were created for utility purposes, and there are now 618,000 cubic feet of utility tunnels running underneath campus. The tunnels are physically unsafe for would-be wanderers, said now-retired IU Physical Plant engineer Jeff Kaden in a 2007 Indiana Daily Student article. âThese tunnels are ex-
3-0 By Jared Kelly jaakelly@iu.edu
On the heels of a four-game losing skid, IU softball entered this weekend desperately in search of its opportunistic bats and quality pitching. Both of those showed up in a big way. IU had its conference home opener this weekend by welcoming Michigan State to Andy Mohr Field for a three-game series. At stake was a much needed confidence boost, as well as a chance to gain key wins in the early stages of conference play. Initially, it looked like IUâs recent struggles had carried over to game one with Michigan State tacking on two early runs and a grand slam to take a 6-0 lead through four innings. But it was only a matter of time before IU channeled the lion mentality that Head Coach Shonda Stanton has emphasized consistently throughout the season. Senior infielder Sarah Galovich got the scoring started for IU with a run-scoring single, her first of three runs batted in on the day. Two batters later, sophomore center fielder Taylor Lambert cleared the bases with a deep triple to right center, one of two triples on the weekend for the leadoff hitter, cutting Michigan Stateâs lead to just two runs. âI knew I needed to barrel up the ball. Iâve been struggling lately and my whole focus was just barreling up the ball,â Lambert said. The Hoosiers would eventually bat around the lineup, scoring eight more runs in an inning that saw 12 runners cross the plate. Altogether, 10 different IU players scored a run in the game and five different players had multi-hit performances, taking game one, 13-8, over Michigan State. SEE SOFTBALL, PAGE 6
tremely dangerous and are in no ways meant for pedestrian use,â he said. âItâs extremely hot, and the air is full of asbestos. There are sharp corners of piping and support. There are some places where the piping isnât even covered, and you could easily get burns or other injuries.â The tunnels carry resources such as electricity and chilled water for air conditioning throughout campus. Most of the tunnels underground are used for steam to travel from heating plants to on-campus buildings, with 75 percent of IUâs academic buildings heated through the Central Heating Plant on North Walnut Grove Street, according to the IU Energy Management and Utilities
website. Itâs hot in the tunnels, too. Because of the steam, some areas can reach temperatures of 286 degrees. âIt scares me, and I go down there as little as possible,â Kaden said in the 2007 article. If youâve ever seen a manhole billowing smoke on campus, you can thank the tunnels, according to Mark Menefee, assistant director of utility services at IU Facility Operations. When it rains, water percolates and collects at limestone, which doesnât let water go through it. The water flows underground until it enters a steam tunnel, and the extreme heat turns it into the steam that billows from man-

Thereâs no light in the tunnels, save for the flashlights of those heading into them or the occasional drainpipe letting in light from the campus above.

Local rapper nochilliams is trying to make it big By Abby Malala abbridge@iu.edu | @abbymalala
Two chairs sit in a small room crowded with audio equipment. A trumpet is set up on a stand on the floor next to a folding table with a MacBook on it. The walls are covered with noise-muffling black foams pads, posters of Thelonious Monk and the Newport Jazz Festival and a signed Mac Miller record. This is where local rapper Adam Williams, who performs under the stage name nochilliams, records. Itâs the home studio of his self-taught producer, Logan Reeves. Williams is from Chicago and started rapping and making music on his laptop while still in high school. He also raps as one half of the duo whytenoys. He recently dropped a mixtape called âFuck the Worldâ on March 7, which is available on all streaming platforms. Heâs also releasing a music video in early April for his track âItâll All Make Sense.â His music touches on drug use and addiction. He said rapping
