‘I’m just enjoying life’:

Indiana Jamie Gerstenberg’s unapologetic personality wraps up season paying dividends for IU experience

Jamie Gerstenberg can’t predict what’s coming. But what does that matter?

She’s in an unfamiliar position, but she won’t allow doubt to creep in. She fixes her eyes on the threat resting on the penalty spot, 12 yards away. Soon, it’ll scorch across that space, expecting a smooth landing in the nylon mesh behind the freshman German goalkeeper.

The wind at Jerry Yeagley Field has been unforgiving up to this point. It’s ripping through the branches of the cherry blossom tree past the track, slapping across players’ faces and finding every way to make those not bundled up in the stands uncomfortable.

Gerstenberg, IU’s freshman goalkeeper, has spent the last 90 minutes staying

alert, barking instructions to her backline to avoid any unnecessary miscues.

New faces constantly come in and out, but she handles the responsibility all the same. Now, she’s the only one standing between disappointment and exhilaration.

Finally, the breeze carries over the ominous tune of the referee’s whistle and breaks the tension. Instinct takes control. Gerstenberg makes her move.

The ball meets the latex of the gloves instead of the nylon of the net. The impact and weight shorten Gerstenberg’s descent from her sprawling leap, but cheers erupt before she can reach the ground.

This isn’t a November match with Big Ten standings in the balance. It’s April, a few months into the offseason, and Indiana women’s soccer is playing

exhibition matches to work out kinks with the incoming class of players.

Gerstenberg approaches this match no differently.

The opponent, Butler University, won’t have it easy.

In the penalty shootout, Gerstenberg denies two strikes looking to sneak into the far corners. Her frame pressures another Bulldog into a mind game, and the goalkeeper wins it when the shot clangs off the post.

You wouldn’t know the Hoosiers had just drawn the Bulldogs 0-0 in regulation and 2-2 in penalty kicks. The result is irrelevant, but Gerstenberg’s individual performance can’t be ignored.

She sprints over toward the small crowd gathered in the south bleachers of Bill Armstrong Stadium, primarily made up of parents and dedicated supporters, and pumps her fists. She’s overjoyed. She’s

quickly grown comfortable and confident in this onceforeign place, making the most of the opportunity she always dreamed of. *

Once the escalator reaches daylight, Black hurries to take on the first task on their itinerary: shopping.

But Gerstenberg’s eyes haven’t moved.

Those eyes, usually tracking a rising shot or floating cross, are locked in on the towering New York City skyline. Growing up, Gerstenberg could only see

Times Square and Central Park are next on the agenda.

Reserved for a later date: Los Angeles, Chicago and anywhere else she finds the time to visit.

“You could tell her love for seeing America and all these things she pictured,” Black said. “It made me feel so happy for her.”

In the week leading up to Thanksgiving, Gerstenberg stayed with Black’s family and celebrated the holiday for the first time. The freshman and sophomore built trust with one another after just a few months of being teammates, and Gerstenberg found it easy to be herself and fit in despite the circumstances.

A power plant is seen in Midlothian, Texas. A power grid that services much of the Midwest, including Indiana, is at high risk of not meeting demand this summer, according to a report from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation.

The Indiana women’s track and field team finished their season at the NCAA Championships on Sunday in Eugene, Oregon. Four athletes competed in events at the championships and two placed on the All-American Second Team.

On Thursday, senior Paola Fernandez-Sola participated in long jump. She placed 14th with a jump of 6.18 meters, finishing on the All-American Second Team for the first time in her career.

Senior Maddy Pollard also earned Second Team AllAmerican honors in shot put with a throw of 16.63 meters that was good for 16th place.

Freshman Jayden Ulrich finished right behind her teammate, marking a distance of 16.62 meters and taking 17th in the shot put competition to earn All-American Honorable Mention.

On Saturday, sophomore Mahogany Jenkins took part in high jump and Ulrich competed in discus. Jenkins tied for 20th place with a jump of 1.72 meters, earning an AllAmerican Honorable Mention.

Ulrich had the chance to compete in the first flight of discus but did not record any throws or place in the competition.

The Hoosiers will return in the fall for the start of the 20222023 track and field season.

The City of Bloomington will commemorate Juneteenth on June 18 at Switchyard Park. The annual event will allow community members to celebrate the holiday with food and music from 2-7 p.m.

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, Liberation Day and Emancipation Day, celebrates the emancipation of those who had been enslaved in the United States, according to the City of Bloomington. It is commemorated on the anniversary of the June 19, 1865, announcement by Union Army general Gordon Granger, proclaiming freedom from slavery in Texas.

“With Bloomington being such a transient community, and we have so many people from different places, celebrating a holiday like Juneteenth will really help build this community but also educate this community,” Shatoyia Moss, Safe and Civil City Director, said.

The City of Bloomington is partnering with the IU Neal-Marshall Black

Culture Center for this year’s event. Carson’s BBQ will provide barbecue food, including pork, chicken, mac and cheese, and more.

There will also be multiple activities and games like giant Connect Four, card games, dominoes, and face painting. The Switchyard Park amenities will also be available, including the splash pad and an open park area.

Additionally, multiple vendors and information tables will be at the event.

A full list is available on the City of Bloomington event website.

Community members are encouraged to bring chairs and blankets if they prefer to sit on the lawn.

People are allowed to bring their own food and non-alcoholic drinks.

Community members can volunteer at the event.

Volunteers will help set up, hand out food, check community members in and help clean up. The volunteer sign up is available on the the City of Bloomington event website.

IU disassembles COVID-19 contact tracing team

By Marissa Meador

marnmead@iu.edu | @marissa_meador

IU transitioned to automated contact tracing for COVID-19 following an end to asymptomatic on-campus testing. Those who self-report positive test results will receive an email with instructions on self-isolation and informing close contacts, according to Theresa Vernon, IU’s contact tracing program manager.

Vernon said IU made the change because of low COVID-19 levels in the community during the summer. She said the contact tracing team has been disassembled, but the university still has a COVID-19 response team that meets daily.

Vernon said IU doesn’t know if contact tracing will return to the way it was last academic year.

“We’re still monitoring trends — national trends, local trends — and we’ll make those decisions later in the summer once we know a little bit more of what’s going on in the pandemic,” Vernon said.

Vernon said COVID-19 positive IU community members always received an automatic email, but now they will not be called by a contact tracing team.

She said the purpose of the calls was to gather demographic information to report to the Indiana Department of Health.

IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said the change was due to a pause in large on-campus testing, but he said students, faculty and staff should still self-report a positive test.

IU has also stopped reporting

case numbers on its COVID-19 dashboard as a result of the pause in testing.

Dr. Aaron Carroll, professor of pediatrics and Chief Health Officer at IU, said there is no longer a need for personal contact tracing and IU needed to scale back its team when people went

back to their regular jobs.

Contact tracing will most likely remain automated, Carroll said, but testing and mask policy may change if a dangerous COVID-19 variant emerges.

“When we first did arrival testing, we almost felt like we needed trauma counselors avail-

able because when people got COVID they lost their minds,” Carroll said.

Dr. Alka Khaitan, an associate professor in the IU School of Medicine Department of Pediatrics, said she thinks it is highly unlikely COVID-19 will completely go away. She said vac-

cines are the key to dealing with the virus.

“If you’re vaccinated, you can feel safe in the context that maybe you’ll get COVID, but most likely you’re protected against hospitalization and severe disease,” said Khaitan, who also works on creating algorithms for

COVID-19 treatments at Riley Hospital.

She said vaccine hesitancy helped fuel the spread of COVID-19, which introduces the possibility of new variants.

“The virus is smart — it’ll keep mutating and try to stay in circulation, and it does that by creating these variants,” she said.

The Omicron variant is less severe for most, but not all, Khaitan said.

“There were a lot more pediatric hospitalizations during Omicron than prior variants,” she said.

Additionally, Khaitan said there are still unanswered questions about why some people get severe symptoms despite not having a particular risk factor.

“There are still a number of people that are getting very sick with it, and some of those are children who don’t have the opportunity to get vaccinated yet,” Khaitan said.

Carroll said that in the midst of a surge, contact tracing loses its purpose — at that point, he said it’s too late.

“The Omicron surge was so bad we couldn’t possibly keep up with it,” Carroll said.

Carroll said people are more familiar with protocol now and no longer need personal guidance on what to do, compared to the return to campus in the fall of 2020.

“Most people in America have had COVID,” Carroll said.

“Everyone knows someone that has had COVID, we get isolation, we get quarantine — people sort of know the ropes about how things go.”

Kerry Thomson, executive director for the IU Center for Rural Engagement, filed paperwork to form a principal committee to run for mayor of Bloomington on June 8. She is the second Democrat to formally indicate interest in running.

A principal committee is different from an exploratory committee, which requires candidates to file paperwork to convert to a principal committee if they decide to run. City council president Susan Sandberg formed an exploratory committee to run for mayor June 1.

Mayor John Hamilton has not yet said if he will run for reelection.

Thomson worked as

CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County from 1997 to 2017. She has served on the Indiana Habitat for Humanity board, Habitat for Humanity International’s U.S. council and the IU Credit Union Board of Directors.

Thomson received a Bachelor of Arts in sociology, anthropology and women’s studies from Randolph-Macon College.

In spring 2021, Thomson was a member of the “Go Farther Together” group, which called for a pause in Mayor Hamilton’s attempt to change the unified development ordinance to allow for further study. The proposed changes involved allowing multi-family housing in places previously zoned for single family homes.

The press release said the Google.org Fellowship regularly releases teams of Google employees in nonprofits or civic entities for up to six months of full-time probono work.

“Google and the City of Bloomington share a commitment to creating opportunity for everyone,” Rob Biederman, director of external af-

CARTER’S COLUMN

Assault rifles are for killing humans, and that’s their only purpose with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” What if the bad guy with the gun has multiple of them and has barricaded himself in a hotel room? What if the good guy with a gun only has a small handgun while the bad guy has a gun that is capable of shooting dozens of high-powered bullets in under a minute?

The only argument for the

Carter DeJong (he/him) is a secular humanist studying journalism at IU.

ownership of automatic-style rifles is that they are fun to shoot. There is nothing inherently wrong with that, but it makes people think of them more like toys. When toys become dangerous we take them away.

Gun sales always go up after a mass shooting. The National Rifle Association knows this. Less than a week after

the events in Uvalde, Texas, gun manufacturers and politicians met 300 miles away in Houston to celebrate this gun that has so much killing power.

It appears Congress may be close to passing legislation that will make it harder for some people who may hurt themselves or others to acquire guns and increase

the amount of background checks for people 18 to 21 years old. This legislation should absolutely include a ban on the AR-15.

The Second Amendment does not give people the right to wield guns capable of shredding people in seconds. It was written during a time where the most powerful firearms could only fire a few

times per minute — some AR15 models are designed to be able to fire around nine bullets per second.

Children deserve to go to school without fear of being shot. The best way to ensure this is to make sure people do not have access to those kinds of weapons.

Last month, an 18-yearold man brought his legally purchased AR-15 semi-automatic rifle into an elementary school and proceeded to murder 19 students and two teachers. cadejong@iu.edu These weapons are not for hunting or for protecting people or property. They are meant to be used by soldiers in war zones — people who understand the killing power they have. They should not be found in the hallways and classrooms of American schools.

The AR-15 rifle was designed as a military weapon and is not intended for civilian use, according to the family of inventor Eugene Stoner.

It was invented to provide American soldiers with an advantage over the Soviet-made AK-47 rifle, following the end of World War II. Despite Stoner’s intentions for his invention, the AR15 has been marketed heavily to consumers. American citizens own around 15 million AR-15s, making up one out of every five firearms that are sold. For comparison, the U.S. military only has 2.1 million servicemen and women, meaning that the 30% of adults who own guns possess more than the entire military.

The Las Vegas shooter used 22 AR style rifles when he murdered 60 people and injured 411 others in 2017.

There are no laws in the U.S. that place any limit on how many of these killing machines one person can own.

A popular line from gun TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE lobbyists is the phrase “the People hold signs during a “Moms Demand Action” protest June 17, 2021, at Buffalo Bayou Park in Houston after a new Texas gun law signed by Gov. Greg Abbott which allows Texans to only thing that stops a bad guy carry firearms in public without a permit.

OLIVIA’S OUTLOOK

Why do we still stigmatize tattoos?

Olivia Franklin (she/her) is a junior studying journalism with a minor in political science.

Tattoos are becoming more common as the years go by, but there is still a stigma around them.

I have wanted to get tattoos for years, but every time I mention getting one, someone always says something along the lines of how I should be ashamed of it.

I have always been so confused by that concept — I paid for it, why cover it up?

I don’t see much of a point in getting a tattoo if I have to constantly keep it hidden.

I have friends whose parents would not let them get tattoos at all. I do not understand why some people are so against tattoos that they would go so far as to completely forbid them.

If you have thought of

getting one or more tattoos, do not let the stigma keep you from doing it. You can get something small, if you are concerned about people judging you, or get it in a place that is not always visible to start out. Just remember most people don’t care whether you have a tattoo or not — they might even think it’s cool.

There is nothing wrong with someone seeing a tattoo and wanting to get it simply because it looks cool. A tattoo does not need to have a meaning. Everyone gets tattoos for different reasons. If it’s going on someone else’s body, why do people care so much?

I understand that everyone has different opinions on things but why should someone having a tattoo change the way they are viewed? For some reason tattoos are al-

ways lumped together with being irresponsible and unprofessional. A boss judging someone because they have tattoos could make them pass up someone who would have been a great employee.

I try to never judge a book by its cover for this specific reason. Someone’s appearance is not all they are.

I have never understood why tattoos have prevented people from getting jobs. Like dying your hair an unnaturalcolor, tattoos alone don’t make you any less qualified than someone without them.

If anything, I would think someone with tattoos would show they are able to schedule appointments and follow through with them, showing their reliability.

Having tattoos has always been viewed as “unprofessional,” but I don’t understand that. Getting a tattoo

shows that the person cares about something so much that they want to have it on their body forever. It shows they go through with plans, instead of just thinking about them. There are a lot of positive things that a tattoo can say about someone besides that they are “unprofessional.”

Even though getting a job with a tattoo has become easier over the years and more accepted, the overall stigma still hasn’t changed much.

This is not some new phenomenon. Tattoos have been around for decades.

Whether you have tattoos or not, it does not make you any less of a person. No one should be judged for changing something about their own body. orfrankl@iu.edu

BLACK VOICES

How will anti-Heard rhetoric affect women of color?

By Maria McComish

mwoodmcc@iu.edu | @mccomish_maria

The Amber Heard v.

Johnny Depp case has taken over the internet in a surprising way. Heard was sued

by Depp for defamation in reference to an op-ed she wrote detailing her experience as a victim. The jury ultimately ruled in favor of Depp.

Millions online chose sides and consumed the entire trial as if it were a television show. This disconnect between reality and entertainment opened the door for people to publicly hate Heard without guilt. Depp, perceived as a beloved man with power, did not help her case.

The level of hatred and misogyny being directed toward Heard is astounding, and the case acts as an indicator for how women of color may be treated.

Amber Heard is a white woman who is facing an avalanche of disgust. What does this mean for women of color who want to share their stories?

Famous singer and songwriter FKA Twigs has an upcoming trial against actor Shia Labeouf. Being a Black woman, she is vulnerable to both racist and sexist behavior from the public and her abuser.

Twigs and Labeouf dated from 2018 to 2019. She filed a lawsuit against Labeouf in Dec. 2020, alleging he abused her emotionally and physically. The case will appear in front of a judge in April 2023.

In Elle, Twigs described a trip they took to Jamaica.

Labeouf forced her to look at the ground around the male waiters for fear she would be too friendly and give them the wrong idea.

“That Twigs’s white boyfriend was policing her movements in her ancestral homeland, one already burdened with a complicated colonial history, was all the more disturbing, especially given that Black women are statistically more vulnerable to Intimate Partner Violence,” Marjon Carlos, a reporter for Elle, said.

A study done by the In-

stitute for Women’s Policy Research details the disproportionate affects domestic violence has on Black women. More than 40 percent of Black women experience intimate partner violence in their lifetime compared to 31.5 percent of all women.

The stereotype of the ‘angry Black woman’ is an additional obstacle for women of color who wish to share their stories. Research from Harvard Business Review has found that, when Black women display anger, it tends to be associated with the woman’s personality rather than the stressful situation.

Recalling traumatic experiences in front of a courtroom of people can easily incite feelings of frustration and anger, which can then be weaponized and used to prove that the victim is too irrational or hysterical to be taken seriously. This is especially hard to avoid when the crowd is rooting for your failure.

The criteria that women have to fill to be considered a victim is disappointing.

Black women, however, will always be put under a harsher lens by both the

public and the judicial system. It is important to stand behind the victims who

speak with truth, especially when everyone tells them they are wrong.

Josef Newgarden wins the Sonsio Grand Prix

By Ellie Albin

ealbin@iu.edu | @EllieAlbin1

Team Penske’s Josef Newgarden won the Sonsio Grand Prix at Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin on Sunday.

Chip Ganassi Racing’s Marcus Ericsson came in second and Andretti Autosport’s Alexander Rossi, the race’s pole-sitter, finished third. Though he has yet to snap his threeyear winless streak, Rossi has five top-ten finishes in his last six starts.

Andretti Autosport had a good day overall. To round out the top five, the final push for fourth place saw Andretti Autosport’s Colton Herta battling teammate Romain Grosjean. Grosjean ultimately overtook Herta to finish in fourth place.

Newgarden, who also won at Road America in 2018, led for much of the race and earned redemption from a mishap in 2021 that caused him to lose out on the win.

Newgarden was leading very close to the end of the race last year, but a late mechanical failure pushed him back to a

21st-place finish.

With Sunday’s win, Newgarden is the first driver of the season to win on a road course, street circuit and oval track, and will therefore receive the first-ever PeopleReady Force for Good Challenge prize. The $1 million prize will be split evenly with Newgarden’s team and his charities of choice: SeriousFun Children’s Network and Wags and Walks Nashville.

Road America qualified as Newgarden’s road course. Newgarden’s oval win came at Texas Motor Speedway and his street win was at the Long Beach Grand Prix.

After Sunday’s race at Road America, Ericsson — this year’s Indianapolis 500 winner — now leads the championship with 293 points. Team Penske driver Will Power, who won last week’s race at Detroit, falls back to second with 266 points. Newgarden is right on Power’s tail with 261 points.

In addition to the grand prize, PeopleReady has offered and will continue to offer $10,000 to every race winner this

ready to go.”

This pregame ritual is deceiving. Gerstenberg said her teammates often refer to her as “awake,” radiating with positive energy and happiness whether it be 7 a.m. or midnight. She hasn’t been shy about revealing her outgoing personality to the rest of the team.

Gerstenberg will often stroll in, unannounced, to the team house where Black lives, hoping to watch a movie or catch up.

On the first night of a spring break vacation in Florida with a group of seven of her teammates, Black recalled Gerstenberg bombarding her with questions while she drifted off late at night.

“That just shows you how much she cares about wanting to get to know people,” Black said.

Freshman goalkeeper Coast Liapis, one of Gerstenberg’s dormmates this past year, has fond memories of getting to know everyone better outside of campus during the same trip.

“What I pictured Jamie on spring break was exactly Jamie on spring break, which I loved,” Liapis said.

Gerstenberg’s command on the pitch, optimism and connection with her teammates have already influenced the culture that IU’s program is building. The Hoosiers will have an even younger core in 2022 than last season, so even more expectations will be placed on her shoulders.

She’s far from unprepared as a leader. When she first made her decision to play at IU, she figured this responsibility would come due to the nature of her position.

She said her time playing at the highest level in Europe only adds to her confidence.

Whether a more defined role is in store for Gerstenberg or not, her teammates feel as though she’s displayed the character fit for it already in year one.

“She’s always caring and honest,” Black said. “She took a leadership role in that sense that she’s going to motivate people and make it as fun as possible.”

stenberg became the unrivaled heir to the throne. She responded with a historic rookie season — a program record nine individual shutouts, plus a spot on the Big Ten All-Freshman team — that gave van Bennekom little reason to pull the plug going forward.

“I’ve set a high bar if you only look at achievements,” Gerstenberg said. “I want to continue giving the best version of myself to the team.”

Both goalkeepers described it as “healthy competition” and have spoken about the positive relationship they’ve built in the past year. Gerstenberg said Kopel’s honesty and directness in training have been helpful, as well as her perspective as an experienced college player.

All and all, the freshman’s strategy and mentality seem to be unaffected by the veteran’s return.

“If anything, it’s just pushing you a little more,” Gerstenberg said. “I feel good about it.”

ations. Most importantly, though, he makes sure the players have fun with what they’re doing.

At some point, Gerstenberg or another goalkeeper will make a mistake. The “goalkeeping union,” as Kopel calls it, is quick to offer encouragement and reassurance.

“They just get on with each other really well,” Schenk says. “They’re competitive but supportive of each other. It’s not someone getting better at the expense of the group.”

This is one of the many support systems the program has provided Gerstenberg. From the moment she arrived, she went out of her own way to engage with her teammates and completely let her guard down to a bunch of strangers. The response was welcoming from the very first day.

Liapis and freshman defender Camille Hamm, Gerstenberg’s roommates, took it upon themselves to go out and stock up for the German’s dorm needs. Black invited her to her childhood home for an entire week, showed her around New York City and accepted her random visits on campus with open arms.

One payoff of those friendships? Ditching the dorms and moving into the other half of the team house duplex where Black currently lives. Now, Gerstenberg will have unlimited access to the people who match her energy most.

“Since I’ve been in America, I’m just enjoying life,” Gerstenberg said. “Realizing that my first year is almost over, I knew this was a good decision.”

» IUWS

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Gerstenberg said she’s always been inspired by America and knew from a young age she wanted to experience living in the States alone. She said she’d feel trapped and less likely to branch out socially if a relative from her hometown in Birkenwerder, Germany, tagged along to babysit.

She sped up the process at 16 years old, when she broke into the senior squad of one. FFC Turbine Potsdam in the Frauen-Bundesliga, German women’s soccer’s top flight. The roster was littered with players in their mid-to-late 20s whose personalities were far too unrelatable.

Soon enough, it was time; she could start a soccer career in an environment she had dreamed about, should any college be interested.

Head coach Erwin van Bennekom’s Hoosiers were.

“If I stay in a place too long, I know I’ll get bored,” Gerstenberg says. “I needed that change.” *

The soccer pitches in Germany symbolize a past life. Gerstenberg visits from time to time — not to reminisce, but to work. Under-20 national team duty briefly called her back home in late October of her freshman year during the final stretch of IU’s regular season schedule.

Only a handful of months had passed since Gerstenberg first arrived on campus in Bloomington in the summer of 2021. Soon after, she shifted her focus toward the place she’d call home for the next four years. Adjusting to the English language

and American game often isn’t simple, but goalkeeper coach Kevin Schenk said Gerstenberg picked the language up quickly and had no trouble easing into IU’s tactical system.

She could’ve tried to cheat the process and revert to the language with which she had grown up. Anna Aehling and Oliwia Wos, a pair of defenders who played their last matches for IU in the fall, also came from Europe. Gerstenberg says the group spoke German on the pitch on rare occasions, primarily to clarify minor misunderstandings, but mostly communicated in English.

The freshman kept a calm and confident demeanor as her relationship with the language grew stronger.

“She’s very sure of herself, and that projects onto her teammates,” Schenk said. “They trusted her right away.” *

The energy bomb should walk through those locker room doors anytime now.

That’s when the party can really get started. Everyone’s waiting.

It’s match day. Emotions are high, the atmosphere is perfect and kickoff is inching closer. The opponent, location and start time are irrelevant — Gerstenberg gets her nap in all the same.

Only then can she wake everyone else up with the contagious energy that leads the locker room through its collective dancing and yelling. “I need that moment of rest, taking in the silence,” Gerstenberg says. “It’s about really calming down. I just have more energy and am

The spring schedule proved beneficial for all of IU’s players. Freshmen used it to get acclimated to van Bennekom’s system, while established players looked to fine-tune their skills.

Graduate student goalkeeper Bethany Kopel got to play the game she loves again.

Before Gerstenberg, Kopel served as an ironwoman between the posts for the Hoosiers. She took the No. 1 spot as a freshman in 2017 and never looked back.

Kopel started every single match of her career from 2017 until the 2021 COVIDpostponed spring season, setting multiple program records along the way.

In one of the matches that spring, Kopel suffered an undisclosed injury and missed the entire fall 2021 season.

More than a year later, she’s made significant strides in her recovery — enough to get back in net for a few exhibition matches this April.

“I had this gut feeling I wasn’t done yet,” Kopel said.

“I need to be here, help support my team and see where this program goes.”

After Kopel’s injury, Ger-

Schenk stares down the order.

“Four!”

A few seconds pass.

“Two!” Whoever’s number he calls next needs to be ready.

Finally, Gerstenberg gets her signal.

She maneuvers into position and stops the incoming shot.

Schenk uses the element of surprise in drills such as these to keep IU’s goalkeepers on their toes. His training philosophy is centered around game-realistic situ-

Oak. store to celebrate Block Party for the Modern Witch

IU graduate Fleeter debuts new single

Bloomington plant store Oak. will welcome guests to their summer solstice Block Party for the Modern Witch at 4 p.m. June 21 on the corner of Fourth Street and Grant Street.

Oak., in partnership with the Bloomington Witch Collective, Moon Stones and multiple local artists, will offer several witchy, spiritual activities.

The free event will include a collaborative drum circle, meditation and ritual, chair massage, bone readings, tarot readings, norse pagan ritual items, astrology readings, a plant-inspired photo booth and several booths with local artwork, jewelry, crystals and plants.

Musical entertainment, sponsored by local music store TD’s CDs and LPs, will feature performances

by Busman’s Holiday, Hogbite, Erby Burnfield and Sam Sheffield.

Talia Halliday, Oak.’s owner, said the event will thank the Bloomington community for its support since Oak. opened its doors in June 2020. While Oak. was scheduled to open in March that year, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic delayed Halliday’s plans to open the store in person.

Because Halliday had a community of support built up from her other local business, Gather, she said both the Bloomington community and IU students gave Oak. a “big hug” when the store opened.

“Those first few months, honestly, that first year was pretty amazing for us,” Hal-

liday said. “We got a ton of support.”

The block party will not only celebrate Oak.’s two year anniversary, but will also celebrate the summer solstice. Halliday said she prefers to organize events around astrological phases or the cycles of the moon, so the solstice seemed like the perfect time.

“It’s just something that really sits right in my soul to organize events based on the phases of the moon,” Halliday said. “My mom always cut my hair based on the phases of the moon, so it’s just something I’ve always sort of done.”

Halliday said she hopes the “modern witch” block party will expand people’s perceptions of what witchy lifestyles can look like. The word “witch” often has negative connotations that

even Halliday said can be hard to look past.

“I really want everyone to feel welcome,” Halliday said. “Whether you are a practicing witch, or you think that it’s fun to have your tarot cards read, or you’re just curious. I want all ages to be able to come out and see what the witch community here in Bloomington has to offer.”

Halliday reached out to Kara Bookwalter, who started the Bloomington Witch Collective discord server in February 2021, to help organize the event.

For Bookwalter, the Collective is similar to a church community, where she and her friends can discuss their practices and check in with one another.

“People come and go from Bloomington often,” Bookwalter said. “I want a

place where I can still be hanging out with buddies.”

Bookwalter said that at the block party, the Bloomington Witch Collective can act as a touchpoint for curious locals, whether they’re looking for a community of fellow witches or just looking to learn more about witchcraft in general.

“An event like this brings real witches out into the fore,” Bookwalter said.

“Someone can come and see and recognize like, ‘Oh, they’re just real people.’

‘Oh, they’re just doing fun, crafty stuff.’ Learn a little bit more and just uncover that unknown.”

Due to construction around Fourth and Grant Streets, guests are encouraged to walk or park near Kirkwood Avenue. This event is free and open to the public.

COLUMN: 5 LGBTQ films released before the 21st century to watch this pride month

IU 2022 graduate Anna Fagin released her debut single “She Was an Hour” as Fleeter on June 10. She wrote the pop folk song for a songwriting class last semester. The single is available on all streaming platforms.

“I used a symbolism with time,” Fagin said.

“There’s a motif throughout the song about ‘she was an hour and I’m just a minute.’ It’s mourning yourself when you are full and glorious and missing that part of you when you’re not feeling like that anymore.”

Fagin will perform at Midnight Reality’s Realfest on June 25 in Dunn Meadow, and she frequently performs at The Orbit Room through Cosmic Songwriter’s Club.

The name “Fleeter” pays homage to bands Fagin enjoys, like Fleetwood Mac and Fleet Foxes. She said she thought it was good luck.

“The best part of the song has been this weekend and experiencing a real release. The feedback and support from others has been incredible,” Fagin said. “Friday felt like my birthday with all of the love. And in a way, it was the birth of a new chapter of my music.”

“She Was an Hour” was written in a grieving process, full of lines like “She was full of the sun but somehow burned away.”

“I wrote it about seasonal depression and losing parts of yourself to mental illness and waiting for the months where it’s warm outside for those parts of you to come back,” Fagin said.

Fagin said she’s work-

With the success of shows like “Heartstopper” and “Our Flag Means Death” and movies like “Moonlight” and “Call Me by Your Name”, it’s safe to say that LGBTQ representation in media has never been better. There is still a long way to go toward total inclusivity; for example, stories that don’t revolve around white cis-gendered men are often overlooked. Still, progress has been made.

With this influx of new queer media, it’s easy to overlook the LGBTQ films that predate this century.

While few and far between, these films are incredibly important. They help us contextualize what life was like for queer people in the twentieth century and serve as a necessary reminder that this community has always existed. These five films are essential entries in the LGBTQ cinema canon.

1. “Rope” (1948) dir. Alfred Hitchcock In this experimental Hitchcock thriller, two roommates attempt to prove they committed the

perfect crime by throwing a dinner party after strangling their former classmate to death. Made during the Hays Code era, any display of homosexuality in the film was strictly forbidden.

Hitchcock worked around this by hiring a gay screenwriter and two gay men, John Dall and Farley Granger, as the lead actors. Dall and Granger are mesmerizing as the co-dependent pair of “roommates” loosely based on the real-life murderers Leopold and Loeb.

Overall, this film is a master class in the usage of subtext and innuendo.

2. “The Children’s Hour” (1961) dir. William Wyler In this drama, Audrey Hepburn and Shirley MacLaine star as two teachers, Karen Wright and Martha Dobie, who open a private boarding school for girls.

After being punished for a lie she told, a young student decides to spread a rumor about the two teachers, saying that they’re in a secret relationship. Hepburn and MacLaine deliver powerfully touching performances as the two leads. While this film ends in tragedy, it was still one of the first films to

portray a lesbian character on screen in a sympathetic way.

3. “Dog Day Afternoon’ (1975) dir. Sidney Lumet Al Pacino stars in this crime drama based on the real-life bank robbery and hostage situation committed by John Wojtowicz and Salvatore Naturile. This film is unpredictable in the best ways possible. With every twist and turn the plot takes, you become more invested in discovering the characters’ real motives and intentions. When it is eventually revealed that Sonny (Pacino) is robbing the bank so that his wife can afford gender reassignment surgery, media outlets exploit this for their broadcasts. Overall, “Dog Day Afternoon” is a true product of its time.

4. “Maurice” (1987) dir.

James Ivory “Maurice” is one of the clear standouts of James Ivory’s long career. Set in Edwardian England, the film follows Maurice Hall (James Wilby), a young student at Cambridge who befriends another student, the charming Clive Durham (Hugh Grant). The two bond

until Clive reveals his true feelings for Maurice. Maurice is taken back but comes to realize that he feels the same way. What follows is a touching story about heartbreak, class relations, authenticity and self-acceptance.

5. “Velvet Goldmine” (1998) dir. Todd Haynes This film is a fantastical examination of the life of fictitious pop-idol Brian Slade. Played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers, we follow Brian from his youth to the height of his fame. Along the way, we meet the enigmatic Curt Wild (Ewan McGregor). Brian and Curt form a relationship that blurs the lines between professional and personal.

Arthur Stuart (Christian Bale), a British journalist who was once immersed in the glam rock scene himself, interviews people from Brian’s life throughout the film. Arthur goes on his own journey of self-discovery, eventually coming to accept his bisexuality. Written and directed by openly gay auteur Todd Haynes, “Velvet Goldmine” is a love letter to the glam rock era of the seventies.

ing on new music to possibly release an EP or album this summer. She will play her original songs at Midnight Reality’s Realfest.

Fagin wrote, produced, sang vocals and played acoustic guitar for the song. IU 2022 graduate Matthew Teden also helped produce the song, played acoustic guitar and mixed and mastered it.

Teden said they got musicians together throughout late March and April, mixed it at the end of April and mastered the song last week.

“It’s not a sad arrangement,” Teden said.

“It doesn’t sound sad, it sounds more optimistic in the sense that the song and the arrangement won’t let you dwell in that place of depression.”

Alec Lubin helped produce the song and played piano and acoustic guitar. Niko Albanese played drums, Seth Jenkins played electric guitar and Luc Charlier played bass guitar. Charlier said the process was collaborative and casual.

“The whole environment was very positive,” Charlier said. “It comes across when you listen to it, that all of us are friends.”

‘Hedwig and the Angry Inch’ to run until June 26 lindena@iu.edu | @lexilindenmayer

“Maurice,” released in 1987, follows a young man and his journey with his sexuality.

COURTESY PHOTO

IU 2022 graduate Anna Fagin released “She was an Hour” on June 10, 2022, under the name Fleeter. Fagin wrote the pop folk song for a songwriting class in the spring 2022 semester.

Cardinal Stage will present “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” June 9-26 at the John Waldron Auditorium. The show will star James Rose as Hedwig and Paige Scott as Yitzhak. Dan Kazemi will be the music director and John Jarboe will direct.

“Hedwig and the Angry Inch” is a rock musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Trask and a book by John Cameron Mitchell. The story follows Hedwig, an internationally ignored rock singer who had a botched gender affirmation surgery. Through her rock show, Hedwig shares her search for stardom, recognition and love.

After its off-Broadway premiere in 1998, “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” gained popularity as a cult classic.

Rose said the musical holds a special place in queer cinema as a gender-nonconforming classic of its time.

They also said it tells a timeless love story in a unique medium, as it is a rock musical.

On a personal level, Rose said people are drawn to the musical because they can see themselves in Hedwig.

“People walk in thinking they’re nothing like Hedwig,” Rose said. “They want to distance themselves from her and from this thing they don’t understand, this version of gender nonconformity. This drag performer, there’s so many angles to look at her from, and I think it’s impossible to finish the show and not see yourself as her by the end of it.”

For “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” Rose said Cardinal Stage made sure that the right people are in the right jobs and that stories are being told responsibly.

“This is a rock show that essentially gives the middle finger to so much of normativity culture,” Rose said.

“What Cardinal did so brilliantly was put a bunch of queer people at the helm of that to make sure that it was authentic and to make sure that the people involved had

a save space to be who we truly are.”

Kate Galvin, Cardinal Stage artistic director, also runs an artistic advisor committee, Rose said. The committee is a diversity, equity and inclusion committee that has a broader role in making sure the culture at Cardinal is welcoming, safe and inclusive.

“You’ll see that in the show that there was so much love for everybody in the room from everybody,” Rose said. “Everyone was doing this because they genuinely think that queer art is special and deserves to be seen, and that queer people deserve to see themselves represented on stage.”

This is the first time “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” will premiere in Bloomington, according to Cardinal Stage’s press release. Rose said they know Bloomington has a strong queer population, so they hope people come out to experience the show.

“I get really bored of the queer art that’s like ‘gay people are great,’ because we are, but we already know that.

Who is that for? That’s for straight people. That’s for cis people,” Rose said. “We are taking this queer narrative and we’re making it complicated and rich and complex and you may not know how you feel about this character by the end of the show, which is important, because that’s human.”

Showtimes vary from 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., depending on the date. For more information, visit Cardinal Stage’s website.

Tickets for the show are on sale on Cardinal Stage’s website with their “pay what you will” rate, allowing audience members to choose their own prices from a range of ticket price options: $0, $5, $10, $15, $20, $25, $30, $35, $40, $45, $55, $65, $75.

There is a $2 per ticket convenience fee on all orders.

All attendees are required to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination or a recent negative COVID-19 test.

Masks will be required at all performances.

Big Ten announces new LGBTQ+ Working Group

By Ellie Albin

ealbin@iu.edu | @EllieAlbin1

On June 8, the Big Ten Conference announced their plans for an LGBTQ+ Working Group that will aim to find solutions to better serve and support the LGBTQ community.

The group, which is a part of the Big Ten Equality Coalition, will include student athletes, coaches, administrators, officials and Big Ten Network staff.

This month, the Big Ten will focus on celebrating Pride, which commemorates the

Stonewall riots that occurred at the end of June 1969. The conference plans on honoring the month with a series of activities, such as recognizing members of the LGBTQ community in the Big Ten and collaborating with broadcast partners to highlight Pride celebrations.

The conference is also debuting a new hashtag, #B1GPRIDE, to help create more conversation and awareness across social media. The conference has also included information at bigten.org about resources and activities across

all 14 of the Big Ten campuses regarding the LGBTQ community.

“Joining the LGBTQ+ Working Group is very important and personal to me, especially at this time in our country, where a number of anti-LGBTQ+ laws are being enacted,” University of Maryland Assistant Athletic Director Resa Lovelace said in a release from the conference.

“The members of this working group have all come together to create spaces where we can uplift, support and celebrate the LGBTQ+ individuals across

the Big Ten Conference.”

Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren will also take part in the LGBTQ+ Working Group.

“We are proud to continue to ‘Unite as One’ in support of the members and allies of the LGBTQ+ community and to amplify their voices as part of the Big Ten Equality Coalition,” Warren said. “The formation of the LGBTQ+ Working Group will help inspire more members of the conference’s LGBTQ+ community to use their voices to drive change in their respective communities.”
