‘You got to hit them where it hurts’: Undergraduate students react to strike

Steven Page to perform at the BCT

The IU campus felt abnormally empty April 13. Some classes were canceled due to the graduate worker strike and the cold rain kept many students indoors.

But inside the Canterbury House, plans were forming.

In the room immediately to the left of the front door, a group of graduate students made phone calls asking people to join the picket lines Thursday. Further down the hall, boxes of donuts sat open on a kitchen table.

Beyond the table, volunteers cooked soup for the protestors.

The Canterbury House serves as the headquarters for the Indiana Graduate Workers Coalition-United Electrical Workers. However, not everyone helping organize picketing efforts from the Canterbury House were graduate students.

IU freshman Steven Massey stood over a folding table in the basement of the Canterbury House on Wednesday afternoon making IGWC-UE buttons. The red circular pins read “living wage” at the top and “union yes!” at the bottom.

Massey, although not a graduate student himself, said he feels passionate about their cause because he comes from a low-income background. He knows what it is like to work nonstop and still worry about whether it's enough to pay the bills.

“I see graduate students struggling in the same way my family has,” Massey said.

Massey receives the maximum amount of funding offered through a Federal Pell Grant, a financial aid package offered to undergraduate students who display dire financial need. An email from Provost and Executive Vice President Rahul Shrivastav sent to IU faculty mentioned Pell Grant recipients could be disproportionately affected by the strike. The email said students’ eligibility for the grant could be jeopardized if graduate workers withhold final grades.

Steven Page, co-founder of the award-winning band Barenaked Ladies, will perform at 8 p.m. on May 4 at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater.

Ticket prices range from $30-$50. Audiences can expect to hear music from both Page’s solo career and his Barenaked Ladies years.

Formed in 1988, Barenaked Ladies are responsible for some of the most popular songs of the ‘90s and 2000s. With hits like “One Week,” “Pinch Me” and even the “Big Bang Theory” theme song, the group has received two Grammy nominations and eight Juno Awards. Page, along with his former bandmates, are members of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.

After spending 20 years with the group, Barenaked Ladies’ lead singer embarked on a solo career in 2009. His fifth and most recent solo album was released in 2018.

Since becoming a solo artist, Page has tackled a variety of projects in music, theater, film and television.

He has composed six Stratford Festival scores and collaborated and toured around the US with Toronto’s Art of Time Ensemble.

Page has also hosted the Canadian reality TV show “The Illegal Eater,” became a champion on “Chopped Canada” and starred as a judge on “Iron Chef Canada” for their 2019-20 season.

Doors open at 7 p.m. for this reserved seating show.

The estimated length of the event is 100 minutes.

Wearing a mask indoors at the theater is strongly recommended. COVID-19 vaccination verification or a negative test result within 48 hours is required to enter the venue.

“The students who are on the margins often bear the greatest burden of such a work stoppage,” Shrivastav wrote in the email.

Massey is aware the university voiced concerns about the strike’s impact on his financial aid — and it only made him more adamant to stand with the graduate workers. The university is exploiting low-income and otherwise marginalized students’ fears in an attempt to pit them against graduate workers, Massey said.

“The picture they’re trying to paint is that grad students are letting us down, but if anything I think IU is letting us down,” Massey said.

like to attempt to live on an unlivable wage, unlike many of the administrators who he said are trying to intimidate Pell Grant recipients into opposing the graduate workers’ unionization. Massey expressed frustration that the people he interacts with and learns from on a daily basis earn drastically less money than administrators.

“They aren’t living in these conditions and they really don’t know what it’s like,” Massey said. “The notion that grad students have disappointed us is far from the truth.”

There is a long history of institutions engaging in union-busting tactics by fear mongering against people of color and people living on low-income wages, Massey said.

“I am definitely disappointed to see that IU makes these claims as much as it is a university that claims to value diversity and inclusion,” Massey said. “Their actions speak louder than their statements and words.”

IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said students who rely on federal financial assistance must demonstrate academic progress — something he said the graduate worker strike could threaten.

“By targeting a strike directly at undergraduate education and threatening to withhold the grades needed to show that progress, these graduate students are knowingly jeopardizing that financial aid for those who need it most,” Carney said.

Carney called the strike a disappointing attack targeted at undergraduate education.

“Nonetheless, each of our schools and departments have worked on contingency plans to ensure that disruption is minimized and our undergraduate students can successfully complete the semester, including our seniors who are finishing their final few courses,” Carney said.

As a member of the IGWC-UE Outreach team, graduate worker Bradi Heaberlin interacts directly with undergraduate students looking to get involved with the strike. She said many undergraduate students approach her with questions about the strike, but the vast majority express their support.

Heaberlin said she wants to make it clear the strike is not meant to punish undergraduates — it will actually help them in the long run by giving graduate workers more time and resources to dedicate to providing quality instruction.

“Undergraduates who are familiar with our efforts know that the quality of their education is inextricably linked to us receiving a living wage and having a seat at the table,” Heaberlin said.

Heaberlin helped organize the undergraduate walkout and rally April 14. In preparation, Heaberlin held an event where undergraduate students could make signs, banners and buttons to show their solidarity with graduate workers.

One of the most popular signs amongst undergraduates read “My tuition should pay a living wage.”

IU Health’s $416 million gift to IU under scrutiny

By Marissa Meador

marnmead@iu.edu | @ marissa_meador

IU Health gifted $416 million to the IU School of Medicine after reporting an excess of revenue of more than $1 billion in previous years, according to The Associated Press. IU Health holds more than $9 billion in cash and investments.

The gift is larger than all IU Health charitable donations in the last 11 years combined. The donation was not announced, but it was recorded in the hospital’s December 2021 financial statement, according to the Indianapolis Business Journal.

IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said there is a longstanding relationship between IU Health and the School of Medicine and clarified the gift is a three-year grant, unlike the typical single-year grants IU receives from the hospital. The School of Medicine plans to make announcements after they finalize how the funds will be used.

In an email to the Indiana Daily Student, IU Health Public Relations Consultant Jeff Swiatek said the grant would help increase the number of nursing graduates to combat the Indiana nursing shortage, renew funding for health research and fund recruitment to improve diversity, equity and inclusion.

Although supportive of IU Health’s charitable work, Indiana state legislators like House Speaker Todd Huston have questioned the donation in light of IU Health’s high prices.

In a letter to Indiana nonprofit hospital systems, including IU Health, legislators noted IU Health’s prices are above the national average and cited a study which found Indiana hospital fees to be the fifth-highest in the nation.

In response, IU Health promised to freeze prices until 2025. IU Health said an aging population and chronic illnesses contribute to higher prices, which they hope to combat with a value-based model of preventative care.

Beth Gazley, a professor at the Paul O’Neill School for Public and Environmental Affairs and an expert in nonprofit management, said nonprofit hospital systems must prove they benefit the community in order to maintain nonprofit status. When judging how much excess revenue a nonprofit should have, Gazley believes critics should examine the services they provide.

“For an organization with an almost $4 billion budget, it really depends on the extent of their community benefit work,” Gazley said.

IU Health outlined their $500 million investment into

community development in Indianapolis as an example of their community service.

Aaron Lingenfelter, a Bloomington resident and CT scan technician at a hospital partly owned by IU Health, underwent a costly IU Health procedure in May 2020.

Lingenfelter said he was billed $10,232 for a colonoscopy, $8,847 for the procedure and $1,253 for the doctor. After insurance stepped in, he was still left with $3,650

to pay, he said. The national average for a colonoscopy is $2,750.

The same year Lingenfelter underwent the procedure, IU Health reported a profit of $1.1 billion in 2020.

Lingenfelter said he believes that IU Health chooses not to lower prices simply because they don’t have to.

When asked why IU Health has not lowered prices in response to criticism, Swiatek referenced IU Health’s commitment to

freezing prices until January 2025, when they expect to meet the national average.

Matt Bell, chief policy analyst at healthcare reform organization Hoosiers for Affordable Healthcare, points to a lack of competition as the problem. Bell said that IU Health is the second most expensive hospital system in the state, with prices 44% higher than the national average.

“IU Health absolutely has an ethical, maybe even a

moral responsibility, to lower their prices for Hoosiers,” Bell said.

Bell suspects that IU Health made the donation late last year in order to lower their profits, which totaled about $860 million after the $416 million donation.

“I am of the belief that $9 billion far exceeds anything that can be considered reasonable,” Bell said, referring to IU Health’s reserves. “I would argue that money really belongs to their patients.”

Online misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines is associated with low vaccination rates in parts of the U.S., according to a paper published April 26 by IU’s Observatory on Social Media researchers and the Polytechnic University of Milan in Italy.

In 2021, the Observatory on Social Media team

created CoVaxxy, a public dashboard which visualizes data on Twitter misinformation and vaccination rates. Tweets with links to low-credibility sources were classified as misinformation, and vaccine hesitancy was measured through Facebook surveys and state and county-level vaccination rates, according to News at IU. According to the paper, survey responses from 22 million people determined

that 40 to 47% of American adults are hesitant to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

The paper also found vaccine hesitancy was correlated with high percentages of Republican voters and Black residents. Filippo Menczer, Director of the Observatory on Social Media, said historical disparities in the treatment of Black and white Americans in healthcare may have contributed to vaccine hesitancy, accord-

ing to News at IU. Along with these groups, the paper found women were also more likely to be hesitant about the vaccine.

The paper’s authors were Francesco Pierri, a postdoctoral researcher from the Polytechnic University of Milan, Matthew R. DeVerna, Kai-Cheng Yang and Alessandro Flammini from the Observatory on Social Media and Brea L. Perry from the College of Arts and Sciences.

City council votes to support graduate workers

The Bloomington City Council voted unanimously to support the Indiana Graduate Workers Coalition-United Electrical Workers during the city council meeting April 20.

“The City of Bloomington supports the rights of Indiana University graduate student workers to unionize and strike, and urges the Indiana University administration to recognize Indiana Graduate Workers Coalition-United Electri-

cal Workers as the chosen representative for graduate workers and enter into good faith negotiations with IGWC-UE,” section one of the Resolution 22-10 reads.

Sue Sgambelluri recused herself from the decision, citing her role as an IU Director of Development for the School of Arts and Sciences.

The move means City Clerk Nicole Bolden will send a copy of the resolution to IU President Pamela Whitten, Provost Rahul Shrivastav, the Vice Provost for Faculty and Academic

Affairs Eliza Pavalko and the IU Board of Trustees.

Councilmember Isabel Piedmont-Smith, who joined the picket lines herself and has worked at IU’s Department of French and Italian for more than 20 years, spoke in favor of the resolution alongside Councilmember Dave Rollo.

“I used to be a grad student at IU and I know it’s very difficult to make ends meet,” Rollo said. “And it’s much much more difficult now.”

Rollo said while many costs in Bloomington have increased over time, graduate workers’ compensation does not always increase proportionally. He also encouraged IU administration to recognize IGWC-UE as a union.

“Graduate students are producing scholarly work, and it raises the reputation of Indiana University,” Rollo said. “IU’s reputation is going to fall unless it fairly compensates those workers.”

During the time allotted for public comment, IU graduate worker Nora Weber spoke about the value graduate students bring to the Bloomington community through their work.

“We feel very, very strongly that there is a connection between our ability to have a dignified life as workers, and to be able to

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb appointed entrepreneur Cathy Langham to the IU Board of Trustees, according to a News at IU article. Langham will fill the vacant spot on the board left by the retirement of James Morris in February 2022.

Langham is the CEO and co-founder of Langham Logistics, a supply chain solutions management company which specializes in transportation, warehous-

ing and logistical support, according to the company’s website. Before founding Langham Logistics, Langham graduated from the Kelley School of Business and started trucking and air shipping franchises, according to the release.

The IU Board of Trustees has nine members, six of whom are appointed by the governor and three who are elected by IU alumni, according to the article. Most of the trustees serve for three year terms and can be reappointed at the end of their terms.

contribute to Bloomington and to Monroe county, and to the State of Indiana,” Weber said.

Nathan Schmidt, an IU graduate worker in the English Department, said during public comment that his son was two years old when he started his Ph.D. studies.

“He will be 8 this July, so he does not remember a time when I was not in grad school but he does remember the food pantry,” Schmidt said. “He does remember when the car broke down the heat didn’t work,” he continued.

Schmidt said there is a frequent assumption made that graduate workers are young, single and financially stable, but that is often not the case.

Several other Bloomington residents shared their support during public comment, including one who had spent the day picketing with his fellow graduate workers.

“Sorry about my voice,” he apologized into the microphone. “Long day at the picket line.”

Before the vote to pass the resolution, PiedmontSmith shared her personal experiences working with graduate workers.

“They are dedicated to passing on knowledge, and they are some of the best teachers we have,” Piedmont-Smith said.

IU placed its chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha on cease and desist April 21, according to an email from IU spokesperson Chuck Carney. The organization cannot host, attend or participate in any social events, and they cannot participate in recruitment activities, he said.

Cease and desist is an interim measure placed on or-

ganizations where there is an immediate threat or ongoing investigation, according to IU’s page regarding organizations on disciplinary status.

Carney said this directive is used when there are allegations of behavior that have caused or could cause harm to members of the organization or community.

Carney said the investigation is ongoing and is being done in collaboration with Pi Kappa Alpha headquarters.

Whose dream is the ‘American Dream?’

By Sara Molina

molinas@iu.edu | @saramolina42

When someone mentions the American Dream, what image comes to your mind? I picture the basic image of a family of four in front of a white picket fence and a nice house.

James Fortozo, a firstgeneration Mexican-American college sophomore, thinks of families of color who migrate to the U.S. and “Of Mice and Men”, a book depicting workingclass struggles to succeed in America.

Whatever image you pictured, do you believe it to be realistic?

I think the American Dream is pointless, unattainable and problematic.

“The American Dream contradicts the reality of the U.S.,” Fortozo said. “There are obstacles in the way for my community prohibiting us from reaching it.”

It is almost a creative way of saying “nothing is impossible,” or “the sky’s the limit” and to “shoot for the stars,” when that’s not possible in America for

many reasons. What comes to my mind first are racial injustices.

Fortozo explained the struggles many Mexican families face when starting their lives in America. Undocumented people have difficulties getting highpaying jobs and people take advantage of their status for cheap labor, he said.

“It’s a common idea to think hard work equals loads of money, which in many cases is not true,” Fortozo said. “Some of the hardest working people I know never made it to middle-class status.”

Fortozo was born in the United States, but his parents migrated from Mexico.

His mom is a teacher and his dad is a small business owner.

“By the book definition, my family has achieved the American Dream,” Fortozo said. “Just because we hit some of the main points of the American Dream, it doesn’t mean we are satisfied with our experience in America.”

The same goes for my family. While we have not

always been successful, we have always made things work despite the obstacles placed in our way.

Sometimes it makes me sad to see the sacrifices my grandparents and parents have made and are continuing to make so my life can be as privileged as it is. I think the drive to give your children better than what you had stems from the American Dream stereotype.

Fortozo said he is unsure if the traditional American Dream is something he wants for himself.

“I’m not sure if it is something to aspire to because it can build an unhealthy view of America,” Fortozo said. “I think the American Dream should be personalized to the individual and should not have specific guidelines for everyone to achieve.”

While he once idolized it, he sees how the concept negatively impacted him by hiding the reality of the troubles he faced as a firstgeneration Mexican-American. He said he created his own version of the American Dream.

“As a queer individual,

my American Dream is going to look different from the traditional American Dream,” Fortozo said. “I spent my adolescence in-

heriting my parents’ dream but now it is time to focus on my own dreams.”

He finished by saying he will strive to satisfy his

dreams, even if they go against his parents’ wishes.

In my opinion, that is how we all should picture our American Dreams.

White women are profiting off Black women

By Maria McComish

mwoodmcc@iu.edu | @mary_mccomish

A controversial book was recently pulled from distribution after quickly sparking conversation. It brought up the issue of white women capitalizing off of Black women.

The book is titled “Bad and Boujee: Toward a Trap Feminist Theology.” It was written by practical theology professor Jennifer Buck, a white woman.

“This book engages with the overlap of Black experience, hip-hop music, ethics and feminism to focus on a subsection known as ‘trap feminism’ and construct a Trap Feminist Theology,” the synopsis read. “Interacting with concepts of moral agency, resistance and imagination, Trap Feminist Theology seeks to build an intersectional theology.”

As if this display was not offensive enough, the cover of the book is a Black woman. There is no superficial evidence of a white woman being behind the words. Buck is marketing to and capitalizing off the Black community without searching for the opinions of any Black woman who is

ILLUSTRATION BY JULIETTE ALBERT

a professional in this field of study.

Accomplished writer Sesali Bowen originally coined the term “trap feminism”.

She further explained the concept in her 2021 book “Bad Fat Black Girl: Notes from a Trap Feminist.”

“Trap feminism says that Black girls who have ever rocked bamboo earrings, dookie braids, Baby Phat, lace fronts, or those who have worked as hoes, scammers, call-center reps, at daycares, in retail, and those who sell waist trainers and

mink lashes on Instagram are all worth the same dignity and respect we give Michelle Obama and Beyoncé,” Bowen said in her book.

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Bowen expresses her disappointment in the book being writ-

ten and published without any aid or experience from Black women.

“I think the fact that Jennifer Buck does not have the lived experience that makes her the person to write about trap feminism or Black feminism is honestly just the salt

in the wound,” Bowen said.

“Now we’re also dealing with issues around cultural appropriation, culture vulturing and just kind of like cultural voyeurism that is just icky, you know. It’s just cringe, and I hate that we are still doing this in 2022.”

Bowen took to Twitter to publicize an email conversation between her and Buck.

It explained that she was not contacted at all during the writing or editing process but was footnoted.

Christian publishing house Wipf and Stock Publishers have since pulled “Bad and Boujee: Toward a Trap Feminist Theology” from publication. They released a statement on Twitter.

Buck has not publicly responded or explained.

Bowen said in the LA Times interview that she finds this to be hypocritical.

“I want to call it kind of a psychological violence, if you will,” Bowen said. “She (Buck) has refused so far to engage in this conversation that she has started. That’s not what trap feminism is all about. Because a trap feminist can fight her battles, be accountable and hold people accountable.”

Black student leaders tell all

ILLUSTRATION BY DONYÁ COLLINS

By Tiera Howleit thowleit@iu.edu | @officialtiera

Being a Black student at a predominantly white institution can be a complex experience. The feeling of not belonging can be felt by Black students in any space where the majority is occupied by white people.

IU is not exempt from these feelings and at IU, Black students’ experiences

are impacted by their identity. Black students currently make up around 4 percent of the entire IU student body, and Black students certainly feel like the minority on this campus. As a political science major, I am often the only person of color in my class.

Jordan Davis, an IU senior in the Kelley School of Business, has attributed much of her leadership success to a

lack of representation.

“What kept me going was recognizing a major lack of representation in these leadership roles on campus,” Davis said. “As my schedule began to fill up, I prioritized positions where I wanted to see a Black woman lead and make a significant impact that would positively affect younger Black women coming after me.”

Davis is the vice president

of outreach for Kelley Student Government and was recently awarded the 2022 Wells Student Recognition Award for her exceptional work at IU. While Davis has left a significant mark on this campus, it did not come without issues.

“I have noticed times where I’m leading a group of white students and I sense an initial lack of trust and confusion,” Davis said. “I

also feel like I have had to work 1,000 times as hard as most of my white peers just to get the same level of respect.”

Davis said she has had many challenging experiences as a Black woman student leader on this campus but has found hope in others.

“When I’ve been discouraged as a Black woman leading this university, I always find reassurance in myself knowing that students five years from now won’t have to deal with the same things I did, and that makes everything worth it,” Davis said.

Much like Davis, I also find joy and comfort in my work not being done in vain.

The generations to come will be able to reap the benefits of the work being done now.

I know other Black students feel the same, and these experiences should always hold value within this institution.

Caliel Hines is a senior and a strong campus student leader at IU. As the Vice President of the 100th Board of Aeons and a neuroscience major, Hines is an example of Black success here on campus and I have had the pleasure of serving in the Dean of Students Cabinet of Student Leaders with him.

While Hines is grateful for his experiences and opportunities, he feels there is still work to be done to improve the Black and marginalized

experiences on this campus.

Hines said he comes from multiple marginalized communities, one is from being Black and the other comes from being a member of the Apostolic- Christian faith.

Hines was not always intentional about getting involved on campus, but he felt it was necessary.

“Early in my academic career I noticed several challenges facing my peers, particularly those from a marginalized background, that I just couldn’t overlook anymore,” Hines said.

Apart from his role in the Board of Aeons, Hines serves on the Cabinet of Student Leaders, which has also been a predominantly white space. He’s defied odds and shown Black students can do everything those in the majority can.

“I determined what being Black, male, and religious looked like for me and I shared these perspectives with IU in the most cordial and constructive way possible,” Hines said.

For many Black student leaders, serving others is at the forefront of our minds.

Being of service is a trait many communities on the margin can identify with.

While these are only perspectives of two Black leaders on this campus, many more follow.

While we may be few in number, the Black community here at IU is mighty.

ed to, especially who work to pay for their own tuition, are frequently shocked to find that their tuition is not paying their educators a living wage,” Heaberlin said.

IU freshman Ava Tuschman said she felt surprised by a number of things when her instructor informed her professional writing skills class of the strike.

As an out-of-state student, Tuschman said she struggles to understand how her steep

tuition does not afford her teachers a livable wage.

“I was shocked at the fact they weren’t getting paid enough because I feel like we pay so much for our tuition,” Tuschman said.

Tuschman said she thinks some people in her class may have felt annoyed by the strike because it is easiest to learn through in-person classroom instruction, but said the overall student reaction to her instructor’s strike announce-

ment was supportive.

IU sophomore Jackson Bell, a student in the labor studies department, has been an active participant in the strike, leading a crowd of approximately 200 undergraduate students in a series of chants during the undergraduate walkout April 14.

“What’s disgusting?” Bell called.

“Union busting,” the crowd answered.

Bell became involved in

the unionization efforts in fall 2021. He said his mission is to help undergraduate students understand the strike isn’t just a graduate worker issue — it affects the entire IU community.

“Some of my favorite professors are grad students, but I know that the quality of education is going to increase when they don’t have to do things like get a second job, get a third job, donate plasma,” Bell said.

Bell said the two most important factors that decide whether the strike succeeds or fails are undergraduate and faculty support.

“IU is ultimately an educational institution, but also a business,” Bell said. “You got to hit them where it hurts, which is the money.”

Bell said he thinks IU administration is making an effort to divide undergraduate and graduate students but he hopes it will not succeed.

Standing in the basement of the Canterbury House, Bell said he could look around and see people of all socioeconomic backgrounds, genders, races and sexual orientations working together.

“This is not a movement that excludes people,” Bell said. “The university is the one trying to exclude people.

We want to make that loud and clear so that undergrad students and grad students are not divided.”

JARED’S JOURNAL

Young socialists must learn more than just political slogans Jared Quigg (he/him) is a sophomore studying journalism and political science.

“Eat the rich!”

This is one rallying cry for scores of young people itching to be involved in political activism. But who are the rich? And what do they mean by “eat?”

Many young people are turning their backs on capitalism and becoming socialists.

Longtime readers of mine will know I think this is encouraging.

At second glance, however, there is certainly room for pessimism. Do young people even know what socialism is?

Such a question may seem insulting at first, but 20% of poll respondents with a positive view of socialism said socialism “builds upon and improves capitalism,” according to Pew Research.

Socialism improves capitalism? I can just imagine Lenin rolling over in his mausoleum.

Political illiteracy isn’t just a problem young people have, or even young socialists, but one from which the general

American public seems to suffer.

In America, one talks only of liberals and conservatives, or Democrats and Republicans. Never mind that such labels are practically useless and unhelpful. Representative Ilhan Omar and Senator Joe Manchin are both Democrats — surely they have the same values and politics, no?

So, what do all these words

mean? I implied that many people don’t know what socialism is — but do people even know what capitalism is?

Socialists must be able to answer these questions, especially if we’re engaging in political activism of any kind.

Our politics are endlessly scrutinized — and from all sides. Liberals and conservatives unite against us. Not being able to answer these ques-

THE VALADEZ VIEW

tions makes us look clueless, damaging our movement in the eyes of the public.

It’s easy to be a liberal — you don’t have to read anything. All it takes to be a liberal these days is to be skeptical of conservatives hurling “groomer” accusations at transgender people but do practically nothing about it.

But to be a socialist and not be laughed out of political

discussions requires a grasp of politics, history, philosophy and economics that isn’t required of other political ideologies in America. For example, no one asks a conservative if their ideology is at odds with “human nature,” but socialists face such nonsense all the time.

Where more mainstream ideologies can afford to dismiss such arguments as nonsense and move on, socialists cannot. We’re always expected to explain ourselves.

We’re guilty until proven innocent. Socialism is against human nature? Well, we respond, what is human nature anyway? Every philosopher seems to have a different answer. Humans are naturally selfish and greedy? But aren’t humans also naturally empathetic and compassionate?

We’re constantly asked to apologize for our history.

We’re told of the “horrors” of the Soviet Union and other socialist countries. Some respond by saying they are “democratic” socialists, unlike those nasty authoritarians.

When people saw me during the first month of this school year, they probably thought I looked like a deer in headlights. My freshman self was scared of doing most anything. I even had a hard time ordering my own food.

As time has passed, I’ve conquered a lot of those little fears, but I still haven’t gotten extremely out of my comfort zone. I joined Chi Alpha, a student ministry on campus. I started writing for the Indiana Daily Student.

But other than that, I haven’t gone out and explored all that much.

Though there are times I can point out where I wish I would’ve gotten involved or tried something new, I did what I could handle at the time. That’s OK. We all know the saying “live with no regrets.” While I’ve had my qualms with this overly positive mantra, it typically holds true.

My first semester, I was too scared to go to callout meetings or sit in a café to study alone. While I now see the value I could’ve gotten from those opportunities I didn’t take, I can’t change

the fact that I didn’t take them.

I was a ball of anxiety who wished she could move back home almost every day of the week. Mentally and emotionally, I couldn’t handle pushing my boundaries more than I already had by moving my life to Bloomington.

Ruminating on these freshman mistakes — because that’s all they were — isn’t going to get me anywhere new. The “what ifs” cannot magically change the past.

Though the missed opportunities I’ve mentioned aren’t big at all, repeatedly thinking about them can lead to higher levels of stress, which can have much bigger consequences on our minds and bodies.

While there is merit in evaluating our past actions to change our future behaviors or cope with certain events, ruminating over missed opportunities isn’t worth it.

I’ve found that there’s a necessary balance when it comes to regret. I genuinely do live with no regrets, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t learned from my past actions.

Now, I love sitting in a café, ordering an iced white

Regret isn’t worth it

Elizabeth Valadez (she/her) is a freshman studying English and political science with a minor in Spanish.

ent picture — take the Soviet Union, for example. The socialists of the October Revolution took an illiterate and destitute society under tyrannical people and turned it into a global superpower. It was the socialists who were the first to space! It was socialists who expanded rights for women, educated the masses and made it seem truly possible that the last could be first.

We shouldn’t be naive.

The Soviet Union made many errors, a great deal of which were unnecessary, but we should also be able to openly consider emulating their successes — as they certainly had some.

My fellow socialists, I urge you to learn more than slogans if you want socialism to succeed. You must understand your positions and those of your opponents. You must learn history, how the economy works and read boring old philosophers. It’s tedious and tiresome, but when everyone else is out to get us, we can’t afford to look clueless.

mocha and listening to classical music while I do homework all by my lonesome. I love taking in the beauty of campus in the springtime all on my own.

Getting to this point doesn’t mean the current me is somehow more worthy than the old me. It doesn’t mean I have to beat myself up. It is what it is.

My freshman year taught me that most everything is what it is. This isn’t meant to negate protests, strikes or anything of that sort. But it is to say that on a daily basis, we have to let the small things go.

If my outfit doesn’t match perfectly one day, it is what it is. If I missed a meeting, that’s fine. I can try to make up for those things later, but in the present moment, regretful concern should be the least of my priorities.

When we’re in Bloomington, our main concern should be about our personal and educational growth.

We can learn from the bad test grade, but we can’t change it. We can learn from the missed meeting, but we can’t attend it.

We can learn from our past, but the “what ifs” are simply not worth it. elivalad@iu.edu

Kara Acinapuro (she/her) is a junior studying media advertising.

On April 10, IU graduate students voted on whether to strike for better wages and benefits, among other grievances. An overwhelming majority voted to strike, with more than 1,008 people in its favor.

More than two years earlier, the @indianagrads Instagram account posted their first meme sharing IU graduate students’ disappointment with IU administration’s unfair compensation for their work as teaching assistants and instructors.

Now with almost 2,000 followers, this account serves as an effective way to deliver information to graduate students, undergraduate students and others who want to support. Their Twitter account of the same name with almost 3,000 followers also used to post and promote the cause.

These posts seem to function as a way to spread awareness, reveal concealed information and foster social connections.

Multiple informational graphics lay out important details about when votes and strikes will be, making it easy to keep track of when and

where these things are happening. Many posts also have important statistics about IU salaries and rising rent prices.

Several graphics include specific quotes from real IU graduate students detailing why they are choosing to strike. Reasons range from not wanting to fall into more debt to wanting to have a voice in the decision-making process with administrators.

Now, it seems like everyone at IU is talking about the strike, but it is hard to gauge who is part of the cause and connect to strikers if you are not actively participating.

Graduate students’ vulnerability to speak up, show their faces and publicize quotes on Instagram is not only brave, but also valuable in adding a more human aspect to the cause, ultimately helping them gain more supporters.

One aspect that I was not expecting to see was the amount of posts attempting to foster stronger social connections between participants of the strike.

For example, one graphic reads “IGWC-UE Presents Another Strike Social,” with several other similar ones on the page, too.

This idea is strategic because it encourages the participants to meet each other

and bond over a common goal.

Much like the IU graduate workers strike, participants in the 2015 hologram protests in Spain took advantage of technology to help spread awareness of the cause. Participants used holograms in these protests against the government’s complex protesting laws. This action was ironic and symbolic because they were able to draw attention while not actually physically present and violating the government’s protesting regulations.

The graduate workers’ Instagram account has not only garnered support from IU students and faculty, but also gained attention and offers of support from grad student unions at other universities, like the University of Chicago.

Protests across the country and around the world have been able to creatively take advantage of technology to further propel movements — and I continue to be impressed. The future will likely bring even more innovation in all different kinds of areas. It will be fascinating to see how more people will use technology to promote their causes and try to create change in the world. kacinapu@iu.edu

SEAN’S SYNOPSIS

Midterm participation has been historically low, but these elections are still important Sean Gilley (he/him) is a senior studying political science and economics with a certificate in informatics.

With the midterm elections coming up fast at the beginning of May, I always found it difficult to find everyone who’s running for local office. Governments should prioritize presenting this kind of information to make voting easier for everyone, encourage higher levels of participation and support a healthy democracy.

Through my coursework studying voter participation, we’ve discussed public participation in voting and elections. My professor recently

presented research breaking down Americans into two distinct groups: the attentive and inattentive public. These two groups have very different characteristics when it comes to voting.

The attentive public includes citizens displaying higher rates of political awareness and participation. Politicians often pay more attention to this group because it is where a larger proportion of their votes and support generally comes from. Conversely, the ladder group shows depressing rates of participation and awareness, often choosing to opt-out of politics and voting altogether.

Another common issue is

that often, voters are seeing candidates’ names on the ballot for the first time — many of which they might not even recognize. The concept of name recognition is prevalent in political science, and if voters know nothing else about a candidate, they’ll vote for a name they’ve seen potentially once or twice before on a yard sign.

These are fundamental flaws in our voting institution.

Governments should prioritize highlighting all running candidates to encourage voting and facilitate a healthy, participatory democracy. In order to make an informed decision, voters should have access to information regard-

ing candidates and their platforms well before being handed a ballot.

To make this process a bit easier, the names of all candidates you will see on your primary ballot are listed below.

Primary elections are preliminary elections where voters choose who will be their party’s nominee before the general election. Because of state law, Indiana has a closed primary system in which voters must request a ballot for either the Democratic or Republican candidates and can only vote in one.

Early voting options are still available as well. Voters can go to the Monroe County Election Operations building

Primaries are just as important as general elections.

This is the only time to decide which primary candidate will represent your party in the general election. This

choice is just as important as the choice you make in the general election since one of these candidates may implement or change policies which affect your day-to-day life. spgilley@iu.edu

MEN’S LITTLE 500

WOMEN’S LITTLE 500

Phi Delta Theta wins 71st race

By Griffin Healy

healygr@iu.edu | @TheGriffinHealy

The Phi Delta Theta fraternity’s cycling team took first place in the 71st running of the Men’s Little 500 on Saturday with a final time of 2:15:43:47. This race was the team’s fourth Little 500 victory and first since 2001. This is also the first time a fraternity has won the Men’s Little 500 race since 2016.

The trio of seniors Andrew Murray, Jimmy Kulik and Mitchell Pardi paired with sophomore Eli Konow and have trained for the race since September 2021. Phi Delt finished in eighth place at qualifications and then finished second to Phi Kappa Psi, who placed first in the Team Pursuit finals, by six seconds.

Phi Delt had a positive start on the track Saturday by securing third place through the first 10 laps, coming behind Sigma Phi Epsilon and Cutters. However, Phi Delt lost its position in the top five after the 20 and 30lap checkpoint. Gray Goat Cycling led at the 20th lap checkpoint.

A quarter of the way into the race — 50 laps — Phi Delt was second behind Cutters.

Phi Delt then took the lead at the 100-lap checkpoint.

came back and retook the lead at the 170 and 180-lap checkpoints.

With just 10 laps remaining, Phi Psi took the lead. The chance to rewrite its own history of coming so close to winning it all and secure the fraternity’s first Little 500 victory since 1978 presented itself.

Instead, senior Phi Psi rider Andrew La Valle suffered the same fate as last year. A crash in front of La Valle toward the end of the 199th lap took seven teams out, including the racer in the green top.

This crash gave Phi Delt the opportunity to take the lead and finish its final lap with a time of 0.33.968 to secure the victory. Sig Ep finished in second place, coming just 0.196 seconds behind Phi Delt. Jetblach secured the final place on the podium with a third-place finish in the race.

Cutters finished in fourth place. Gray Goat rounded out the top five by being the last team to finish all 200 laps before the celebration got underway for the victors.

Phi Psi, the favorite who

took first place in both qualifications and Team Pursuits, still managed to finish in sixth place with 199 laps under its belt.

Chi Alpha finished in seventh place, and Beta Sigma Psi came in eighth place.

Black Key Bulls finished in ninth place. Phi Gamma Delta rounded out the top 10 of the race.

2020 season just the beginning for Mandema jaspudi@iu.edu | @spudichjacob

Water droplets ran down the faces of the Indiana water polo players as they stood together in the weight room in March 2020. But it wasn’t sweat. Instead, those tears were the immediate, uncontrollable reaction to the news the team just got from head coach Taylor Dodson.

Dodson delivered the notice that Indiana water polo’s season would be cut short due to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. The pandemic would go on to halt almost every sport at all levels across the country.

In what should’ve been a time for celebration for Dodson’s team, after sweeping their own Hoosier Invite and stretching their season-long win streak to ten games, the Hoosiers’ joy quickly turned into anguish.

“There was not a dry eye, everyone was crying,” thensophomore center Izzy Mandema said.

The announcement came just ahead of a revenge match against then-No. 2 University of California-Los Angeles. After losing by just three goals in their match against the Bruins earlier in the season, the Hoosiers were poised to win. Now, they wouldn’t even have a chance to try.

After the abrupt end of center Izzy Mandema’s sophomore season, she had a total of 64 goals in just 41 games played over the course of her two years playing at Indiana.

“The team, we were doing really well, we were working really hard,” Mandema said about the team her sophomore year. “We were all in a great jive together.”

She was an All-Mountain Pacific Sports Federation honorable mention and selected to the MPSF All-Newcomer team as a freshman.

WATER POLO

By Jacob Spudich

Editors Amanda Foster, Kamil Gut sports@idsnews.com

By the conclusion of her sophomore year, Mandema would be awarded Big Ten Distinguished Scholar Honoree, Academic All-Big Ten, MPSF All-Academic Athlete and named an Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches All-Academic honoree.

After an impressive start to her career at Indiana, Mandema became one of the main dominant forces on her team. However, her fortune turned as she got word of an injury that could change the trajectory of her collegiate career.

“Starting my sophomore year, I figured out that I needed elbow surgery,” Mandema said. “I had an issue with my ulnar nerve, my ulnar nerve was getting trapped on my bone. So I was losing function of my hand.”

She was dealing with cubital tunnel syndrome, an injury in the elbow region of the arm when the ulnar nerve that passes through the cubital tunnel becomes damaged. The news of her unavoidable surgery came at the start of her sophomore year, but Mandema did the best she could to play through the injury.

“Looking back now, I’ve had such a better perspective on what she was dealing through then, because she never acted like it was a big deal,” Dodson said. “She never used it as an excuse to not go hard or to get out of things that the rest of the team was doing.”

Mandema played in all 18 games in Indiana’s shortened 2020 season, but before the team’s trip out to California to face off against UCLA, she got the notice she was long hoping to avoid.

“My athletic trainer at the time, Jen (Jennifer) Wilkinson said ‘I don’t think you’re gonna be able to play another game,’” Mandema said. “ (She said) ‘Your elbow is re-

ally bad, you’re lying about it.’”

Mandema was heartbroken by the thought that she would never be able to play water polo again.

“It was extremely emotional for me thinking about this thing that I love so much,” she said. “It’s been my outlet my whole life, you know, this is the one place where nothing else matters.

And I really felt like I could be myself.”

While COVID-19 ended her team’s season, it acted as a savior for Mandema’s road back to the pool. Mandema headed back to her hometown in California following the end of the season, and got her long-anticipated surgery earlier than expected.

Along with her road to recovery, Mandema took the time she had to self-reflect.

“I talked to my friends outside of water polo, which was really refreshing to be like, ‘How can I live without doing this anymore,’” she said. “When I thought about how I couldn’t play water polo, I found my passions more in what drives me outside of waking up every morning to get into the pool.”

While she had come to terms with the looming chance that her career could be cut short, Mandema continued to work hard to get back into the pool.

“I had to think to myself, like, this is not who I am, all of who I am,” she said.

While COVID-19 restrictions remained in place, Mandema was able to perfect her craft.

“Where there’s a will there’s a way, and she found ways to get in the pool to do all of her rehab,” Dodson said. “She communicated really well with our athletic trainer at the time and with us about her progress.”

After a long summer of training, Mandema reunited

with her team to prepare for her junior season.

“I’m probably the only person to ever say this, but I was thankful for COVID,” Mandema said. “(COVID-19) honestly saved me, it saved my mental health, it saved my arm that has now, thankfully, fully healed.”

Ahead of the 2021 season, Dodson didn’t have any nerves about her star player coming back, and from what Mandema has demonstrated throughout the summer to Dodson and the rest of the coaching staff in practice, she had no reason to be nervous.

Mandema returned for the first game of her junior season in 2021 against Salem University, playing in the Hoosier Invite at the same place where her sophomore season ended. She matched her career-high with five goals in her first game back from surgery.

Mandema scored 62 total goals on the season for the Hoosiers.

In 2022, she plays her last season this time as the captain of the cream and crimson.

“She’s always been kind of a leader of the immediate group, she’s one who holds herself to a really high standard,” Dodson said. “I’ve always really admired her own standards for herself.”

Mandema will finish her Indiana career with 193 total goals taking home All-MPSF second team honors at the end of the 2022 season. As for Mandema’s influence on the rest of her teammates and the program, it has proven to be nothing less than exceptional.

“She’s been a great example of leaving everything you have in the pool every day,” Dodson said. “She’s made the most of every single minute and every moment every day that we’ve had together.”

Thirteen was the lucky number to kick off the “World’s Greatest College Weekend” on Friday, as Melanzana Cycling ran away from the field early after starting out in 13th place and held the lead to win their first-ever Little 500 with a time of 1:15:46.

The quartet of seniors Abby Teed, Grace Williams, Juli Torbik and junior Abby Green, all track runners in high school, used their endurance and experience on the running track to dominate the cycling track.

Melanzana took the lead around the quarter point of the race, 25 laps, and never looked back, eventually finishing two laps ahead of second place and beyond for the team’s first-ever victory in the 34th running of the Women’s Little 500.

Melanzana played it safe during qualifications, but they gave everything they had Friday, calculating every move and exchange with precision before eventually coasting to victory.

Favorites Kappa Alpha Theta, who took first place in both qualifications and Team Pursuits, finished 70 seconds behind the winners for a second-place result.

Another 11 seconds was the difference between second and third, where Alpha Chi Omega and their raucous cheering section held off both defending champions Delta Gamma and Teter Cycling for the final podium spot. Delta Gamma was involved in an early crash about 15 laps into the race, which set them back, but made up significant ground on the leaders toward the final half of the race.

For the first time in three years, thousands of fans packed into Bill Armstrong Stadium to watch the race

and cheer on their family and friends. The weather cooperated as well, as temperatures nearly reached the 80’s in Bloomington.

Fans filled the grandstands on all sides of the stadium to watch the 100-lap race take place on the cinder track on the outskirts of Jerry Yeagley Field. The race started nearly 20 minutes behind schedule, and there was never a dull moment from start to finish.

In a relatively clean race that saw only one minor crash near the line in the early stages, Melanzana took advantage of the slow start and handed the bike over to senior Grace Williams, who extended their lead and kept pushing the team’s advantage. Williams won two of the main events in the Spring Cycling Series, and she used her sprint speed to get a comfortable lead before exchanging with captain Teed, who would ultimately cross the line for Melanzana.

From the playing of “Back Home Again In Indiana” to the red flag coming out after Melanzana completed an extra lap to let the victory sink in, many will remember this day for the experience rather than the result, given only a handful of riders competed as freshmen.

Melanzana will certainly remember this day for a long time, as tears of joy flowed out in celebration of the team’s accomplishment on its 10-year anniversary.

Families and sorority members alike came onto the track to embrace the champions and walk with them during their victory lap.

As the winners collected their trophies, members of the team could be heard saying “are you shitting me?” as they hoisted the hardware, and the winning feeling finally kicked in after more than 50 miles of biking.

Students share their favorite memories from the 2021-22 school year Words by Alex Hardgrave ahardgra@iu.edu

Illustrations by Lawren Elderkin lelderki@iu.edu

While the semester is wrapping up at IU, I’m reminiscing on my four years here. Just like everyone else, I have had my ups and downs during my time here. Of course, I did badly on a few tests and the CO-

VID-19 pandemic came along and canceled my study abroad plans, but I’d much rather dwell on the great times — all the musicals I’ve seen at the auditorium, the friends I’ve made, and of course, Little 500.

Since I want to look back on the good times, the IDS asked IU students and the IDS staff to share their favorite memories of this year as it comes to a close.

Here are 15 of them: Going to visit friends in Spain.

IU versus Purdue basketball court storm.

Being in the band for football games.

— Senior Rosalind Bowling, former

— Junior Andy Gutzwiller

— Freshman Samantha Smith,

IDS Staffer

Having an in-person and very successful IU dance marathon, and walking home from class and seeing the sun set over Kirkwood Avenue.

IDS staffer

All the trips I’ve taken with friends to see places like Iowa City, Connecticut and more.

— Senior L.C. Norton, IDS staffer

Returning to classes being in person and being able to reconnect with peers and professors.

— Senior Sarah Smith

— Senior Becca Blanke

I think the Yule Ball was a really cool event because a lot of underclassmen who didn’t get to experience Prom got to experience here, and it was in the Indiana Memorial Union which is such a cool building.

My best memory has been all the Middle Eastern cultural events because I participate a lot in the Arabic program and they have a lot of really cool legit cultural events that are really well done.

— Freshman Taylor Issa

I have a scholarship and they took us on a trip to Berlin and that tops anything else. I went with my scholarship group so it was just a bunch of friends and it was a really fun experience.

— Junior Tyler Hayik

— Freshman SJ Espiritu

Little 500 was probably my favorite. I think just seeing all the college students come out and have a good time and interact with each other was definitely a fun Hoosier moment.

At the beginning of the year I would lay out in Dunn Meadow when it was warm and I’d bring a blanket and I’d tell my friends to join me at random times.

— Senior Yetla Reyna

Traveling to Connecticut to support the women’s basketball team in the NCAA tournament with the Big Red Basketball Band.

— Sophomore Cassie Golden, IDS staffer

— Junior Daniel Rodriguez

I went to go see ‘Dirty Dancing’ in the Global and International Studies Building amphitheater during Welcome Week in the middle of the night, and it is now a core memory. The saxophone music of the DVD menu playing on repeat for twenty minutes will stick with me forever.

Getting involved in different journalism opportunities that there are in the Media School.

I am DJ for WIUX radio, I am a columnist for the IDS, and I’m an editorial writer for Season Magazine. All of these have helped me build my skill set but also let me flourish in creative pursuits.

— Sophomore Erin Stafford, IDS staffer

— Senior Abby Albin

Write your own...

I went with a group of friends to the IU women’s basketball second round NCAA Tournament game at Assembly Hall vs.

Providence. It was a close game, the student section was popping the whole time, and we pulled off a victory. Seeing Mackenzie Holmes beeline for the stands once the buzzer hit will live in my brain rent free forever, as will all of the other great memories I made with friends watching this fantastic team this season.

African American Choral Ensemble to perform ‘Gospel Mass’

The African American Choral Ensemble Spring Concert will be held at 7:30 p.m. April 30, 2022, at the Ruth N. Halls Theatre. The ensemble will present the world premiere of Raymond Wise’s “Gospel Mass.”

The African American Choral Ensemble Spring Concert will be held at 7:30 p.m. on April 30 at the Ruth N. Halls Theatre.

The choral ensemble will present the world premiere

of ensemble director and professor of practice Raymond Wise’s “Gospel Mass.”

For centuries, composers have set the Ordinary of the Mass in a variety of musical styles, from folk to jazz.

In 1978, composer Robert Ray wrote a mass called the “Gospel Mass” that popular-

ized the performance of such music beyond the Catholic church and into academic communities. Now 50 years old, Ray’s piece served as the foundation for Wise’s mass of the same name.

“This was my opportunity to join the ranks of those who have actually written mass,”

Wise said.

Wise tried his hand at writing a mass and finished it in 2010, but it wasn’t performed until an AACE performance in 2019. Wise pulled a couple of movements from the mass to try with the ensemble. After a great response from the audience, Wise decided it was time to perform the whole mass for this year’s spring concert.

“This will be the first time it’s ever being performed in its entirety,” Wise said. “We’re really excited that we get to share it here with the African American Choral Ensemble.”

Since its founding in 1975, the Emmy Award-winning African American Choral Ensemble has preserved the legacy of African American choral music through interpretations of the art form. With a broad repertoire of music performed, Wise said the range of musical styles reflects that of the choral ensemble, one of the most diverse groups at IU. “While we specialize in

singing African American music by African Americans, it is not just for African Americans,” Wise said. “The group’s diversity is just one of the ways we show a sense of unity and inclusiveness here on campus.”

2022 will mark Wise’s 10th year at IU directing the AACE. Wise said there were 14 IU students in the ensemble in the beginning. The ensemble has certainly grown over the years, with more than 50 students currently part of the group.

With such growth, Wise wants to continue building a sense of community through the ensemble and its music.

“Much of the African American sacred music is designed to inspire and bring hope, and that has been something we need so much

in this day and age,” Wise said.

“We all come together because we have an opportunity to be a family, to build a family and support each other so we can make it through these times. It’s the music that really heals us and gives us the energy to keep hoping and keep moving forward.”

The African American Choral Ensemble is a credit-bearing course offered through the Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies. The department is a part of the Office of Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs at IU. In-person tickets are available for purchase. The student ticket price is $15 and $25 for all other attendees. The event will also be streamed online, and livestream tickets are available for $15 per person.

No. 15 Indiana water polo finishes 5th Indiana finishes

By Jacob Spudich

jaspudi@iu.edu | @spudichjacob

No. 15 Indiana water polo traveled to Los Angeles, California, to compete in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Championships this weekend. The Hoosiers fell to No. 3 University of California, Los Angeles on Friday but defeated No. 13 San Jose State on Sunday to finish in fifth place in the conference championships.

Coming into the weekend the Hoosiers finished the regular season 14-14 overall and 1-4 within the conference, earning a fifthplace conference finish to end the regular season.

Indiana took on UCLA to start the weekend in a Friday afternoon game.

UCLA had a stellar regular season, finishing 22-4 overall with a 4-2 record in conference play to place third in the MPSF standings to end the regular season.

Bruin redshirt senior attacker Maddie Musselman is the heart of the team’s offense, scoring 65 goals paired with 32 assists for a total of 97 points this season.

Musselman’s individual goalscoring mark ranks her third among all players in the MPSF conference. Right behind her in fourth comes Hoosier senior center Izzy Mandema, who has scored 62 total goals.

Friday’s meeting between Indiana and UCLA marked the second matchup against each other this season. The Bruins defeated the Hoosiers 12-6 in the

Michigan Invitational back on Jan. 29. In the previous meeting, the teams were tied at halftime before UCLA outscored Indiana 8-2 in the second half to pull away with the victory.

Both teams traded goals to open Friday’s game. Musselman posted a hat trick before the second quarter began, and despite the high scoring numbers from UCLA’s star attacker, the Hoosiers managed to get some offense production of their own early.

After a seven-minute scoring drought by the Hoosiers, senior attacker Tina Doherty notched a hat trick of her own in the second quarter alone. A late goal gave UCLA a 7-5 lead going into halftime.

Doherty has been in good form on offense lately, scoring 16 goals in the last six games for the Hoosiers,

including a hat trick against UCLA. The second half resembled that of the first matchup between the two teams.

Indiana kept the score closewith UCLA in the first half, but the Hoosiers fell flat in the second half and were outscored 9-1 in that span.

Junior attacker Lanna Debow scored the lone goal of the second half for the Hoosiers.

Indiana lost the first game in the conference championships to UCLA, 16-6. The loss meant Indiana would fight for a fifthplace finish against No. 13 San Jose State University on Sunday.

The Hoosiers and Spartans also faced off earlier in the season, with the Hoosiers taking down the Spartans 6-3 on March 26 in Bloomington.

Sunday’s game got off to a fast start as well, with both teams trading goals. Three unanswered goals and a second-quarter shutout by the Hoosiers gave them a 5-3 lead going into the second half. The Hoosiers spread the ball around in the first half as five different players scored.

Indiana bounced back from its second-half misfortunes in the loss to UCLA by steadily increasing its lead over SJSU. The Hoosiers matched the Spartans’ scoring totals in the third quarter before shutting them out in the fourth quarter.

The Hoosiers paved their way to an 11-5 win over SJSU to secure a fifth-place finish at the championships.

Senior goalkeeper Mary Askew saved seven shots on 12 attempts for the Hoosiers, while freshman utility Portia Sasser and attacker Olivia Stark each scored a pair of goals.

Mandema and Doherty finished their Indiana water polo careers in proper fashion as both notched hat tricks in the last weekend of the team’s 2022 season.

The Hoosiers finished the season 15-15 overall and will look toward improving in the offseason.

In the 50th edition of the Kepler Intercollegiate, Indiana men’s golf finished in sixth place with a total team score of 859, 5-under par. The Hoosiers shot 3-under 285 and 4-under 284 on Saturday, followed by a final round of 2-over 290 on Sunday.

The performance marked the third time this season Indiana finished under par as a team. The other two events where the Hoosiers broke par overall were the Quail Valley Collegiate Invitational and the Colleton River Collegiate, which were both held at Michigan State University.

Sophomore Clay Merchent finished at the top of the leaderboard out of all Indiana golfers, and tied for sixth overall individually. His total score of 211 and to-par score of 5-under are both his second-best numbers of his Indiana career.

He only performed better in his debut tournament with the Hoosiers, when he carded a score of 209 (-7) at the Mobile Bay Intercollegiate back in February 2021.

Merchent led Indiana after all three rounds, and carded rounds of 69 and 72 to finish Saturday 3-under par and tied for 12th. His play helped make the Hoosiers one of just six competing teams to break par in both rounds played

Salyers was 1-under par after 36 holes, while Davis was at even-par.

Three birdies and one bogey in the final round led to a score of 70 for Merchent, who wrapped up the event with his best performance of the season. Overall, the sophomore finished with one eagle, nine birdies and six bogeys over the 54-hole tournament.

It’s the fifth time Merchent has finished in the top 10 at a tournament in his Indiana career, and the first time since the Boilermaker Invitational in April 2021, when he finished fourth.

Indiana will have a quick turnaround before playing at the Big Ten Championships next weekend at The Dye Course at French Lick in French Lick, Indiana.
