IDS 'Man of a thousand ideas': Remembering Oscar Lemus By Izzy Myszak imyszak@iu.edu | @MyszakIzzy
Walking through New York City during her layover, Oscar Lemus and Katreen Boustani, Lemus’s partner, talked about their future, ate popsicles and bought books from a street vendor. Boustani remembers this as an especially special day in August. When it was time for Boustani to head home, she became sad and tears started streaming down her face. “Don’t worry, you’ll see me again,” Lemus told her before she went to board the plane. This was the last time Boustani saw Lemus in person. “It was a really good, full good-

bye,” Boustani said. “I have a really good peaceful memory of him.”
IU Ph.D. student Oscar Lemus was a warm person full of enthu-
siasm and had a contagious smile, his friends said. He had a way of making everyone feel like they were enough and that they were important. Lemus died Sept. 4 at the age of 32 from a car crash in Massachusetts. Lemus was from Flushing, New York. Boustani said she will miss his personality and his voice. “He’s so warm,” she said. “By warm I mean he is a very comfortable person to be around.” Lemus had an aspiration to become a professor. He had a passion for mentoring and teaching, Boustani said. “He was always noting little lessons he had learned that he would want to pass on to his students,”
Boustani said. Javon Goard, a friend of Lemus’s, said he would constantly offer feedback and always had a new idea for his work. “Oscar was the man of a thousand ideas,” Goard said. He used to write down his theories and ideas on sticky notes, showing his ideas through pictures. Goard said the way his mind worked was amazing. Goard first met Lemus in the fall of 2015 before joining their respective Ph.D. programs at IU during a tour of Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering. Goard said he and Lemus hit it SEE LEMUS, PAGE 4
IU observes Hispanic Heritage Month By Emily Brown emibrown@iu.edu
Since Sept. 15, IU’s La Casa Latino Cultural Center has been celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with events throughout IU’s campus. The mix of online and in-person events will continue through Oct. 13 in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month ending on Oct. 15. The beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month marks the independence of five Latin American countries such as Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. Mexico and Chile also celebrate their independence on Sept. 16 and Sept. 18, respectively. At IU, the events range from festivals to speeches in honor of Hispanic and Latinx heritage. Upcoming events include:

Lotus Festival returns to Bloomington By Nadia Scharf njscharf@iu.edu | @nadiaascharf
As the sun went down Friday night, a bass line could be heard through the streets of Bloomington. Getting closer, it became clearer — upbeat and jazzy, the trombone carrying a bouncing beat over smooth trumpet melody like a rock skipping on water. Block letters on the sousaphone labeled the band: Nation Beat, a Brazilian-New Orleans jazz and brass band. Lead percussionist Scott Kettner took the mic. “It’s a pleasure to be onstage, it’s a pleasure to be back here at Lotus Festival, let’s give it up!” Kettner said to a cheering crowd. “This is not a livestream, this is live. Real live!” The 28th annual Lotus World Music & Arts Festival took place Sept. 23-26 and featured performers from cultural traditions across the world. During Friday and Saturday of the festival, ten artists performed from 6:30 p.m. to
midnight. Attendees could move between two tents, located on Fourth and Sixth St. respectively, and the Buskirk-Chumley Theater to see multiple performers in the same time slot. Several festival activities didn’t require tickets, like Lotus’s Festival Arts Village, which offered chalk, hula-hooping and crafting. This year, children and their families made lanterns, yarn paintings and origami cicadas. Nathan Parker was one of those children, hands covered in chalk dust as his mother spoke. “It’s been a tradition for the 13 years we’ve been together that we just always come,” Christina Parker said. “We just hang out and enjoy the activities that are going around.” Downtown after dark As the night wore on, more performers took the stage. In the BCT, Martha Redbone’s voice slid up and down, red lipstick striking against the colored lights.
Performing as Martha Redbone Roots Project, she sang about the “long walk to D.C.” alongside Charles Burnham on violin and husband Aaron Whitby on piano. At one point, she asked audience members to raise their hands and clap along with her. “Remember,” Redbone said. “Friends do not let friends clap on one and three. This ain’t no polka night.” Laura and Arthur Littlepage volunteered Friday morning and Saturday but took Friday night to enjoy the performances. It’s not just a local event, they said, but one that brings people in every year. “We just love the international music and how all kinds of different people come,” Laura Littlepage said. When Doctor Nativo, a Guatamalan-Mayan reggae performer, took the stage at 10:45 pm, the crowd perked up immediately. Energy spilled from the group as Nativo, also known as Juan Mar-
tinez, strutted and salsa danced across the stage while playing guitar. Martinez’s voice echoed as he encouraged the crowd to come closer to the stage to dance and cheer. “Come on!” Martinez called again and again. “Are you alive? Come on!” Indoors at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater The evening festival began at 6:30 p.m. in the BCT with a performance by bohola, a traditional Irish band. The set began with slower songs and as the tempo rose, the audience began to clap to the beat. Pat Broaders, one member of the two-person group, introduced the next song in a lilting accent, plucking the strings of his acoustic guitar as he spoke. “This is a song I got from a singer called Frank Harte — anybody heard of him?” Broaders asked. No one responded, and he SEE LOTUS, PAGE 4

One hundred years ago, freshmen associated the fall with underclassmen rivalry, hazing and green hats. IU freshmen from the 1910s to the 1940s participated in a school tradition of wearing green hats. Those who did not comply risked hazing — such as involuntary haircuts — from sophomores and upperclassmen. The University Archives said the green caps in question were also known as pods, the freshmen Rhiny pods. These were closefitting, had 3-inch bills, and a red patch on the front. The IU Traditions Committee, which preceded the IU Union Board, announced in 1913 that freshmen are required to wear the official green cap while on campus. SEE GREEN CAPS, PAGE 4

IU students react to loan debt forgiveness By Emma Herwehe eherwehe@iu.edu | @EmmaHerwehe
The Biden Administration announced plans to relieve student debt for Americans with severe and permanent disabilities Aug. 19. The movement, going into effect this month, will relieve $5.8 billion in debt and will affect more than 300,000 Americans with disabilities, according to the Associated Press. “We’ve heard loud and clear from borrowers with disabilities and advocates about the need for this change and we are excited to follow through on it,” Education Secretary Miguel Cardona said in an Associated Press article. John Andresen, research associate at the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community, said the Total and Permanent Disability Discharge program existed before Biden’s presidency. “What the Biden admin is doing is they’re kind of just utilizing their authority right now to change an existing program,” Andresen said. “To kind of expand it to make sure that it’s reaching everybody that it should be reaching.” If any federal student
loan borrowers with a disability are unable to find gainful employment, which is steady work resulting in a self-sufficient salary, they can have their student loans cancelled, Andresen said. “That could be physical, that could be psychological, that could be a range of different disabilities that causes them to not keep consistent gainful employment,” Andresen said. In the past, people with disabilities had to go through an application process to have their debt forgiven, Andresen said. The issue with the application in previous years was many people were unaware they were eligible for student loan relief, he said. Anderson said the application process is no longer in use. Borrowers now automatically qualify for the program through data supporting their disabilities in the Social Security Administration, he said. “What they’re going to do now is they’ve completely removed that application process, which is really cool,” Andresen said. “That’s a good burden of the applicant to take away from them. They removed that hurdle.” IU senior Harrison Getz

was born with bilateral hearing loss. He was able to get hearing aids and attend speech therapy growing up, but he said this disability has always added an extra struggle within his education, especially when he got to college. “Once I got to college, it was a whole different ballpark of really having to fend for yourself and not
expect any sort of accommodation unless you are entirely on top of it and go through the whole process to do that,” Getz said. Getz said there wasn’t always an easy solution to the problems brought on by his disability and he has struggled with feeling like a burden on his professors. He said it has been difficult to try and find accommo-
dations. “There are things in place to help us,” Getz said. “But I don’t think it’s talked about enough.” He said he is grateful for the student debt relief movement. Heading to college and entering adult life is hard enough already, but having to deal with a disability and other responsibilities, like schoolwork, is
a lot to take on, he said. “I do think that would be a really cool thing because a lot of disabled people have a really sour taste in their mouth from their college or general education experience,” Getz said. With the majority of his college years being under the Trump administration, Getz said he never even imagined a program with such easy access would be considered for people with disabilities like him. “I never even really fathomed that would be something that was even talked about,” Getz said. “A lot of my college career was under Trump’s presidency, so it was never expected to have that sort of option even. It’s really cool to see that being talked about and that my issues and other student’s issues aren’t just us being dramatic.” Getz did not receive any disability scholarships when entering college, so he has been working toward trying to have as little future debt as possible, he said. “Not having to worry about the financial burden that school has been and will be in the future would kind of redefine how I view what I got out of my education,” Getz said.
City Council annexes remaining 7 areas, omits 1 By Sean Gilley spgilley@iu.edu | @SeanyG729
The Bloomington City Council approved the annexation of the remaining seven areas into the City of Bloomington, omitting one area on the north side of the city. Many affected Monroe County residents were adamantly opposed to annexation, saying tax increase and alleging the process was flawed. The council began voting on individual annexation ordinances last week but voted to recess until Wednesday night to continue considering annexation proposals . The areas approved for annexation in this meeting are 1b, 1c, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The zones stretch from the west side of Bloomington down south and around to the east side of the city. The council unanimously voted down the introduction of legislation to annex area 7. Mayor John Hamilton’s administration suggested the council not introduce
the legislation in a press release on Aug. 10. If the legislation is not introduced to the council within 60 days, it will automatically expire. All votes to approve annexation were identical to the council’s votes on the first annexation ordinance last week, with councilmembers Dave Rollo, Susan Sandberg and Ron Smith all voting against each proposal. Council members’ arguments against annexation remained consistent throughout the council meetings about annexation. Rollo adamantly criticized annexation since the Bloomington Police Department has a deficit of sworn police officers. Financial assessments estimate that 23-35 additional officers are needed by the end of 2024. “I can’t vote to expand the responsibilities of the police department while they’re working mandatory overtime without a convincing plan to remedy this problem,” Rollo said. Many city and county
residents voiced many of the same concerns during public comment. Some county residents often spoke during multiple public comment times, continuing past their time limit and even raising their voice in opposition to the ordinances. Many argued the tax increase after being annexed into the city will not be proportional to the services they may receive. Some said in public comment they didn’t need or want city services, such as traffic lights or sidewalks. Bose, McKinney & Evans LLP. attorney and outside annexation council Steve Unger said residents in the annexed areas can expect to see the addition of city taxes in May and November 2025 assessments in 2025. Councilmember Isabel Piedmont-Smith said she didn’t understand some of the arguments county residents made. Some county residents already use services, local shops and restaurants the city offers, so it shouldn’t be an issue to pay

for those services, she said. “Many people who live outside the city limits, they go anywhere else in Indiana, or traveling, they’ll say I’m from Bloomington,” Piedmont-Smith said “Well, let’s make it official.” Some residents criticized the annexation process, alleging this is taxation
without representation and wasn’t a democratic process. Councilmember Stephen Volan opposed this view and said the laws and institutions upholding this process were approved democratically. He said if the residents don’t agree with it, they can vote for new city
council members in the next election in December 2023. “To say that it’s not democratic is to say that the state is not democratic,” Volan said. “But annexation laws were passed through a democratic process, whether or not they’re fair or not, that’s the remedy.”
Reconstruct History project shares interactive Bloomington map By Lauren Ulrich laaulric@iu.edu | @LaurenUlrich5
Bloomington residents can get a glimpse at what Bloomington looked like a century ago thanks to a recently published interactive map project at IU called Reconstructing Bloomington, which displays data on early 1900s Bloomington. IU visiting geography professor John Baeten published the interactive map of Bloomington. Baeten and his team of 19 undergraduate students used historic data to depict Bloomington’s physical and social landscape in 1907. Baeten’s geographic information systems class pinpointed data of 1907 Bloomington’s buildings and residents to create the map. “What’s novel is that this was done through a class rather than through a big
grant or through a research institute,” Baeten said. “I thought this would be a neat opportunity for students to not just understand the technology of GIS, but have a final product they can be really excited about.” What they found were parts of town unrecognizable from what locals know today, Baeten said. The map depicts a college town with a majority student population, Baeten said. Over 300 horse stables, 26 grocery stores downtown, factories on B-Line Trail and 13 buildings on IU’s campus marked some key differences. Now well-known businesses on Kirkwood Avenue were predominantly student housing, such as the Soma Coffeehouse building which was a fraternity house. Baeten said the map’s data includes locations of 2,613
buildings from old fire insurance maps and about 4,500 entries from a 1907 city directory. Baeten’s fall semester class is conducting a similar project for 1900 and he plans to add another year each semester. Baeten said he hopes Reconstructing Bloomington can help address the lasting effects of historic issues like housing inequalities and pollution. For example, city planners can know not to build a playground on top of an old toxin-producing laundry facility. IU graduate student Marie O’Neill was in Baeten’s Geographic Information Systems class last semester and said the project gave her a new appreciation for Bloomington’s history. “Bloomington is such a transitory space,” O’Neill said. “I can see a lot of students be-
ing like ‘what’s the point of knowing its history.’ But to me it’s really important to get to know the place you’re living in, even if just for a few years.” The project aims to engage with community members as well as students, Baeten said. One of his next goals is to allow community members to input information into the map. Christine Friesel, who runs the Monroe County Field Notes project’s research on 19th century Bloomington, said combining information from her and Baeten’s projects would open the possibility to track the lives of past residents across the centuries. “We want to layer on stories,” Friesel said. “Finding new ways to display history is the only way we’re going to be able to remember these stories of our community.”

Spike in COVID-19 cases pauses recycling pickup By Sean Gilley spgilley@iu.edu | @SeanyG729
Recycling pickup in Bloomington will pause for at least one week, according to a City of Bloomington press release on Sept. 26. The pause comes after the Department of Public Works’ Sanitation Division reported three new COVID-19 infections and six new cases of close contacts since the city government’s weekly COVID-19 report on
Sept. 23. The report identified one employee in the same division testing positive on Sept. 22. Households should not place their recycling carts at the curb this week, according to the release. Residents may instead store their recyclables until pickup resumes or bring them to a Monroe County Recycle Center. The Sanitation Division’s remaining workforce makes up less than half the re-
quired number for normal operations and will focus on regular solid waste and trash pickup, according to the release. The Sanitation Division encourages residents to call (812) 349-3443 for more information or questions.

Nicki Minaj makes false vaccine claims By Da’Nasia Pruitt pruittd@iu.edu | @ danasialp
Rapper, singer, actress and songwriter Nicki Minaj shared her opinions on Twitter about the COVID-19 vaccine on Sept.13. The opinions stated in her tweets were very counterproductive to the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Minaj tweeted about declining to go to the Met Gala because of the COVID-19 vaccination requirements. People 12 years of age and older must show proof they have had at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine to enter the museum where the Met Gala took place. She continued in her multi-tweet rant, where she insinuated the COVID-19 vaccine could cause infertility, which is untrue. No evidence shows the vaccine causing fertility problems in men or women, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She sided with Fox News political commentator Tucker Carlson, who has received
criticism for spewing white supremacist rhetoric. Spreading misinformation about the vaccine and siding with a white supremacist is very irresponsible for someone with a large platform, especially since Minaj has a heavy influence on the many Black people and people of color who follow her. Marginalized communities have suffered tremendously from the COVID-19 virus. According to NPR, Black, Hispanic and Native Americans make up less than half of the total population — around 30.8%, but they account for 43.1% of COVID-19 related deaths and 48.7% of all COVID-19 cases. In comparison, white people make up 60.1% of the population but only account for 51.1% of deaths and 44.5% of all cases. This data means that Black, Hispanic and Native Americans are dying and contracting the virus at a higher rate than their white counterparts. Not only are deaths and cases higher within minority communities, but the groups
are less likely to be vaccinated, according to CNN. Out of the fully vaccinated population, white people make up 61% while Hispanic and Black people only make up a total of 24%. A history of racism in medicine already makes many people of color hesitant to get the vaccine. This makes them more susceptible to believing misleading information about the vaccine from people they follow. It is irresponsible for Minaj to use the massive platform to broadcast misinformation about a disease a majority of your following is vulnerable to. Shortly after, Minaj made national headlines with her tweets, grabbing the attention of many daytime and late-night tv shows like Jimmy Kimmel, MSNBC and Fox News. It also caught the attention of Carlson on his nightly political talk show on Fox News. Minaj tweeted a clip from Carlson’s show in agreement. In the clip, Carlson insinu-
ates public health officials are bullying people into getting the vaccine and said Minaj is correct in her stance. According to MSNBC, Carlson has shown his disdain toward people of color and his fear of white people being replaced by people of color in political representation, which white supremacists have coined as the “replacement theory.” Being a Black woman and agreeing with someone who has been known to showcase white supremacist rhetoric is distasteful no matter the circumstance. The vaccine helps combat the virus that has affected the world so much already. It is important that Black celebrities like Minaj, who can influence many people, stop spreading misinformation to their large audiences. The tweets Minaj made discouraging people to get the vaccine are rash. If we are going to get through the COVID-19 pandemic, we have to make sure TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE we are careful not to spread Nicki Minaj arrives at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards on Feb. 8, 2015, any false information. at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The Emmys reveal a tired pattern By Stefan Townes sztownes@iu.edu | @stefant_
Award season is always such a drag. Every discussion about the Oscars, the MTV Video Music Awards, the Grammys and whatever else comes with the understanding that these glamorous ceremonies are ultimately subjective, and aren’t indicative of the actual quality of the actors and writers nominated. While that’s true, it can’t be denied how much stock is put into these awards. There is a certain level of prestige given to the winners, and people have written articles on the various upsets in award ceremonies. The latest disappointment is the Emmys, specifically because despite a record high of Black nominees in works like “Lovecraft Country,” “Pose” and “This Is Us,” white-led shows like “The Crown” and “Ted Lasso” swept most of the categories. It’s not surprising. The people voting for the winners of the Emmys are apparently unknown, but it’s safe to assume they have ties to the entertainment industry and Hollywood, an industry with a notorious record on how it treats Black people. Then these anonymous judges disseminate what works and actors are supposed to be the greatest. When these award winners have a pattern of neglecting Black actors, or for that matter, actors of any marginalized group, there’s conve-
niently no one to blame. Aside from the anonymity that gives the judges a free pass, there’s another insidiously subtle rhetorical work at play here. It’s a matter of opinion, it’s subjective who deserves to win these awards. So, when there’s a pattern of ignoring and passing up the works and performances of Black people, it’s merely because these anonymous judges have different opinions. This ignores the reality that people have biases influencing their judgment, whether they realize it or not. If the judges won’t tackle these biases themselves, their actions should reveal them. The #OscarsSoWhite movement in 2015 onward pointed out the huge discrepancy in white and non-white nominees for the Academy Awards. After this, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, yet another group of mostly white anonymous people with ties to the entertainment industry, made efforts to include more diverse nominees. We’ve seen some changes in that respect, but as for winners, it’s still rare. Even when minority films won major awards, such as Barry Jenkins’ “Moonlight” or Bong Joon Ho’s “Parasite,” it was met with criticism. These award shows and their anonymous voting committees are in a difficult space. They seemingly want to retain their anonymity so
they can choose their winners without direct criticism, but they also want to make an effort to include more diverse nominees. What does this lead to? Tokenism. Having a small representation of minorities so that no one can say they’re excluded. Giving minorities nominations will pacify critics, while you can vote for what you think the real winner is. Black actors get more nominations, but they don’t get more wins. Even when the performance nominated is their last. Of the numerous upsets at the Emmys this year, perhaps the most notorious was the recently passed Michael K. Williams’s role in “Lovecraft Country ‘’ being snubbed. The show, which focused on Black trauma and the realities of racism in the mid 20th century, was passed over in favor of “The Crown,” a drama about the whitest people on earth: the royal family. It brought back memories of Chadwick Boseman’s snub in the 2020 Academy Awards, both being posthumous nominations for what might’ve been the best performances in their respective careers. Again, this can all be chalked up to personal preference. We can say the voters just didn’t all like these performances and screenplays, but the pattern remains. While it’s not surprising, it’s certainly disappointing.

White TikTokers making fake arrest videos is insensitive By Da’Nasia Pruitt pruittd@iu.edu | @danasialp
A recent trend where people are sharing skits mimicking a violent arrest has gained lots of attention on TikTok. Most of these people have been white men. It seems as if the many people joining this trend are displaying a lack of care and are ignoring the dangerous reality of police violence that disproportionately affects people of color. Glamorizing arrest is both disturbing and harmful to those who have been victims of police brutality and those who fight against it. The trend began with TikToker Gage Bills who posted a clip where he is being aggressively handled by police, essentially cosplaying the situation like a character on a tv show, according to Blavity, a website by Black millennials. In the video, Bills went as far as putting makeup on his face to look like he had been beaten. The reenactment reached 23 million views and over three million likes as of Sept.17. Other white TikTokers
quickly followed this trend. TikToker Brandon Calvillo made a video of him “resisting arrest” which has 18.8 million views and over two million views. Calvillo’s video even featured another person dressed as a police officer. It’s ironic that white men on TikTok are displaying violent interactions with police when they are more likely to leave those situations unharmed. When many Black and brown people have interactions with police, they have been harmed and even killed. The staging of these videos makes police interactions seem like something to glorify, when in reality, they can be extremely dangerous and even fatal, especially for people of color. When stopped by police, Black Americans and Latinos are more likely to be killed or seriously injured than white people in similar situations, according to Los Angeles Times. Black children are six times and Hispanic children are three times more likely to be at risk of death due to police intervention in comparison to white children, according to Chil-
dren’s National. Two cases of police violence against young Black and brown boys include the murders of 13-year-old Adam Toledo and 12-yearold Tamir Rice. Toledo was killed by police earlier this year, and Rice was killed by police in 2014. These videos posted by white TikTokers were seemingly posted without any thought of how they could be harmful. The people who have gone viral from the trend don’t appear to see any problems with the trend since the videos are still up for everyone to watch. This just shows how they appear to not care if these disturbing videos affect viewers. Police brutality should not be something to make light of, especially not by white people since they don’t face the same repercussions Black and brown people do when interacting with police. The romanticization of police brutality invalidates the experiences of many people of color who have had violent encounters with the police, and this trend counteracts efforts to end it.
NFL names Maia Chaka as first Black woman official By Da’Qwan Dockery dadockery@iu.edu | @ddockery35
History was made within week one of the 2021 NFL season. Maia Chaka became the first Black woman in history to officiate an NFL game. She officiated her first game between the New York Jets and Carolina Panthers on Sept. 12. Chaka is the third on-field female official in the NFL, along with Shannon Easton, who was the first woman to officiate an NFL game, and Sarah Thomas, the first permanent female game official. “It’s a privilege that I’ve
been chosen to represent women and women of color in the most popular sport in America,” Chaka said in an NFL Instagram post. According to Syracuse news, Chaka was born in her family’s home in Rochester, New York, where her mother still lives. She played football as a child and basketball at Edison Tech High School in Rochester, New York before attending Finger Lakes Community College in Canandaigua, New York. In 2006, she received a bachelor’s degree in education at Norfolk State University. She became a teacher in
health and physical education at Renaissance Academy in Virginia Beach the same year, winning teacher of the year honors for her work with special education students. Chaka began officiating high school football games during her time in Virginia Beach. She went on to officiate in the NCAA’s Pac-12 conference, Conference USA and Alliance of American Football in 2019. “That’s when I knew it was possible and attainable that I could become an NFL official,” Chaka said in a Democrat & Chronicle article.
She entered the NFL’s Officiating Development Program in 2014, a program created to give opportunities to the college-level officials seeking the role as an NFL official. According to the NFL, the development program gives officiating prospects an opportunity to see how in-game officials facilitate a game to prepare them for the position. The NFL announced on March 5 that it was adding Chaka to the roster of game officials for the 2021 season. Due to COVID-19, Chaka was back in the classroom teaching as she was forced to
adapt to the pandemic. She successfully did so while balancing the weight of helping her family and preparing for her NFL debut. “Anything is possible,” Chaka said in the Democrat & Chronicle article. “Rochester has so many stories of people who could never get it together. I almost became one of those people. I just knew what I wanted to do. I want young kids to understand that you have to be able to find your purpose in life, and you have to fight to have success, no matter how many obstacles you have to overcome.”

off from the moment they met and their friendship continued to grow over the years. Goard said over time they became like brothers. Goard is still learning how to function with Lemus as his muse, not in person, but on a spiritual plane. “Oscar was an exemplary example of what it means to be a fantastic scholar as well as an outstanding human being,” Goard said. Lemus was currently planning to go to Guatemala to do field work for his Ph.D. dissertation. Professor Christena Nippert-Eng, Lemus’s Ph.D. advisor, said he was close to finishing his Ph.D. Nippert-Eng met Lemus about six years ago when he visited Luddy for a department visit as a prospective student. She said she and Lemus had a lot of common interests. Lemus was working towards a Ph.D. in Computing, Culture and Society and a minor in Human Computer Interaction/Design. Lemus was recently awarded a Microsoft Dissertation Research Grant, a highly competitive award to support research, Nippert-Eng said. Lemus was always wanting to know more about other people, she said. “Everybody thinks that Oscar was their best friend — we all think that we had a really special relationship with him and we are all right,” she said. “We are absolutely correct about that.” Every person he met was another person for him to become friends with, she said. “He is going to be so badly missed,” Nippert-Eng said. “I am going to miss him so much.”

Seated on the floor of the theater, swaying to the steady melody, Saraswathi Ranganathan led the all-instrumental piece on a veena as petals of light came together and drifted apart on the backdrop behind her.

National and international As the evening wore on, more and more people packed Kirkwood Avenue. Bloomington native Bill D’Amico now lives in California but came back to visit friends and see Lotus performers. He said he would recommend attending Lotus because of the exposure to global artists that the festival provides. “It’s amazing to get exposure to cultures and art from around the world,” D’Amico said. “Indiana needs it. California gets it some, but it doesn’t get the acts that we see here.” A few streets away, Pamyua, an Inuit group, plugged in an electric guitar. Playing a combination of traditional melodies with contemporary instrumentation, their song “Bubblegum” mixed ‘50s-style rock with Yup’ik vocalization. They taught the crowd the word for drum, “cauyaq,” in a call and response. When one member of the group turned around, a message displayed on his jacket read: “we
exist, we resist, we rise.” Stepping into another tent, Nohelia Sosa, lead singer of Nohe and Sus Santos, stood shining in the middle of the stage as the light caught the rhinestones on her shirt. Sosa never stopped moving, a fringed skirt sweeping her legs as she danced salsa during instrumental breaks. The beat of the drums punctuated her honeyed vocals in the group’s signature mix of alt-rock and Latin rhythm. At one point, Sosa stopped and introduced the band, bowing to each. When it was her turn, she raised the flag of Honduras as the crowd cheered. The band returned for an encore. “This next song’s a classic,” Sosa shouted. “But we’re making our own version. Do you understand us, mujeres?” Bringing back the party Saturday ended with Dwayne Dopsie and the Hellraisers, a Zydeco band based on New Orleans musical tradition. The rat-a-tat of a metal washboard underlay lead singer Dwayne “Dopsie” Rubin’s vocals and accordion playing. Lights flashed as Rubin riffed on the accordion as if it was an electric guitar, fingers dancing over the keys. As the song ended and the crowd screamed for more, Rubin summed up the festival in a few words before diving into the next piece. “We didn’t have a Mardi Gras, we didn’t have a jazz fest,” Rubin said. “But I brought my umbrella. And we’re gonna have our own party tonight.”

The Skull and Crescent Club, an honorary fraternity, influenced and regulated the freshmen classes with their own policies. As an exclusive group, student and cadet, Marvin Shamon, wrote in his research that the club relied on sophomores to “take care” of “straying” freshmen. A former IDS issue from 1935 said that the Skull and Crescent ordered freshmen after their campaign night in September to wear the pod until 5 p.m. on school days. They were required during indoor and outdoor events and any violations resulted in severe punishment at the freshman representative’s discretion. “Still scared to death for fear sophomores will cut my hair," freshman Ralph J. Garriot wrote in his diary in 1923. "Ate supper at the Annex. Hundreds of the 'Freshies' have had their hair cut.” Shamon noted that the sophomores, who typically felt the freshman had to earn their higher class status at the end of the year, initiated the Burning of the Pods. According to the Archives, this was a ceremony where the freshmen waded down the campus river and burned their green pods in a bonfire. At the Burning of the Pods, freshmen ended their “year of bondage” and became the sophomores for the next class. According to the archives, due to “the prevalence of broken limbs and gory wounds,” the tradition was temporarily discontinued in 1938. “Freshmen beware — some moonlit night you may be at-
tacked, scalped, and have your head painted green,” Sue Ann Savage, a former IDS staff writer, wrote in an article in 1938. The threat of shaving freshmen’s heads was never carried out, but the sophomore-freshman rivalry grew exponentially. The tradition remained one of IU’s most iconic freshman traditions among campus organizations. According to the Ohio State University’s archives, the pods grew popular nationwide, especially with Big Ten schools. “It was something that brought the students together and unified the freshman class in a way," Director of University Archives Dina Kellams said. "However, the haircuts and enforcement were extreme.” The Skull and Crescent began to receive more backlash about the pod burning ceremony and their treatment against those who did not attend. Members believed that the Burning of the Pods justified their existence, but were later informed of the dangerous consequences and told to reconsider. Pods were not as popular in the ‘40s, nor a symbol of hierarchy. The Archives confirm that fraternities requested members to purchase them during the ‘50s and ‘60s, but mainly for a nostalgic purpose. The Skull and Crescent Club is last seen in the 1969 Arbutus with only a few wearing the traditional beanie. The pods have not been seen since. Kellams said she thought the tradition dissolved when the student population grew. “Having so many students doesn’t quite provide the same sense of unity as before with the smaller classes,” Kellams said.

JARED’S JOURNAL
We need to be honest about the history of socialism Jared Quigg (he/him) is a sophomore studying journalism and political science.
Gulags. Starvation. Purges. Five-year plans. Show trials. Political repression. This is all many Americans have heard about socialism. From history classes to the mass media to the talking points of both political parties, the word “socialism” is used to spark fear in Americans, lest they vote for representatives who would help the working class. Bias against socialism permeates American culture while the crimes of capitalist nations are overlooked. Americans need to know the real history, one that acknowledges that socialists have made wonderful contributions to the world. Perhaps the worst time to be an American socialist was when Sen. Joseph McCarthy, R-Wis., led investigations into alleged communist agents in the U.S. government in the 1950s. Socialist ideas were suppressed in this period and it has taken decades for their resurgence in the U.S. But the “S” word is still controversial in many circles. Donald Trump repeatedly hurled “socialist” as a pejorative against Joe Biden in the 2020 election cycle. Before that in his 2019 State of the Union Address, Trump said America will never adopt socialism, to Congress’s thunderous applause.
ILLUSTRATION BY KATY SZPAK
The former U.S.S.R. and the People’s Republic of China are often portrayed as uniquely repressive. Socialist countries have been guilty of limiting freedoms and harming their citizens in the past, and some Americans are quick to warn that any horrors in those countries could be replicated here if socialists come to power. The crimes of socialist countries are attributed to their political philosophy, but socialism itself wasn’t the problem. Similar atrocities were being committed by so-called democracies.
At the same time that Joseph Stalin was plaguing the earth, the U.S. had a Great Depression, Jim Crow, Red Scares and Japanese internment camps. Abroad, the U.S. military committed numerous war crimes, including the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the firebombing campaign decimating North Korea a few years later. The American government implemented the Truman Doctrine, which funded militaries around the world in an effort to contain communism. Dismissing socialism
based solely on the records of the 20th century is dishonest. To make such an argument would be to pretend capitalism never hurt anyone. But in our capitalist society, the working class struggles while the wealthy have more than they will ever need. If capitalism truly worked, polls would not show everincreasing support for socialism, among young people in particular. Young people are no longer interested in old talking points. Socialism, once taboo in the United States, has now
seen a tremendous resurrection thanks to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the rising popularity of the Democratic Socialists of America. With this renewed popularity of socialism, the role of socialists in American history and around the world can no longer be ignored. For example, the Industrial Workers of the World, an American labor union organized by socialists, Marxists and anarchists in 1905, had more than 100,000 members at its peak who fought for the rights of workers. The union protested World War I, lead-
ing the U.S. government to brutally repress them and throw many of their members in jail. Similarly, the radicalism of the Civil Rights Movement has been wiped away from the history books. Martin Luther King Jr. was a socialist. Really. His criticisms of capitalism are well documented. Socialists have also been the foremost opponent of fascism and Nazism. The Soviet Union was instrumental in ending World War II, and today’s anti-fascists are still defending marginalized groups from those who seek to destroy them. After the anti-fascists — who mostly consist of socialists, anarchists and communists — stood against neoNazis in 2017 at Charlottesville, Virginia, conservatives in the media called them “terrorists” and liberals often refused to defend them, when they should have been thanking them. There is much for young socialists to be proud of in our history. It’s long past time to stop fear mongering about socialism and start being honest about why so many people are turning to it. Stop appealing to a biased history that overlooks the positive impacts socialists have had on the world. You can join the socialist movement, or fight against it, but at least be honest. jaquigg@iu.edu
CLEAR CUT
Students need more than cumulative exams for comprehensive learning Chris Sciortino (he/him) is a junior studying theater and public relations.
I glanced at my syllabus freshman year and saw that 85% of my grade would rely on two cumulative, multiple choice exams. I immediately felt the pressure of the impending semester. Students like me often spend months combing through pages of readings, lecture notes and online study guides in an attempt to fully absorb a semester’s worth of material for a final exam and then, most of the time, forget all about it. This model of teaching does not effectively equip us with the knowledge and skills instructors so frequently tell us we’ll need to bring into the workplace. How could two exams ensure I’ve gained proper knowledge from a course? Long, cumulative midterms and final exams have popped up at least once a semester throughout my twoand-a-half years at IU. But these types of exams focus more on in-the-moment evaluation and don’t contribute positively to the real focus of learning: students’ long-term comprehension and retention of important class concepts. The cumulative multiple choice exam structure is an easy way for instructors to evaluate students with little time taken outside of class. These exams are usually situated at the halfway mark with another at the end of the

course and can be easily administered in a single class period and entered into the gradebook by the end of the day. The infrequency of testing, and therefore infrequency of grading, makes this an attractive option for instructors. But convenience comes at the cost of learning. These types of exams rely almost exclusively on a process called retrieval practice, which the UC San Diego Department of Psychology defines as “recalling to-be-remembered information from memory.” Essentially, if you can recall a piece
of information on an exam, it’s safe to say you’ll be able to recall it when you need to apply it in future scenarios. Retrieval practice is one of the most effective ways of learning new information, according to the UC San Diego Department of Psychology. Everything from grade school spelling tests to college finals rely on retrieval practice as an attempt to measure a student’s level of comprehension. However, the practice is blatantly misused when applied to solely the cumulative
midterm and final exam model and not repeated throughout the semester during class time. A collection of research on teaching strategies led by Dr. Pooja K. Agarwal, on www. retrievalpractice.org, frames retrieval practice as a strategy of pulling knowledge out of a student’s brain rather than cramming it in. Its resource page describes criteria and recommendations for effectively using the technique as a learning tool in classrooms from kindergarten up to undergraduate
study. These include frequent, spaced out exercises that test students’ day-to-day retention of course knowledge. These can range from bellringer questions to short quizzes or even brief, student-led recaps of the main concepts covered in class. The most important aspect of these exercises is to encourage every student to engage in retrieval practice on a regular basis rather than cramming and practicing it once or twice on two infrequent examinations. Retrieval practice is equally beneficial when ap-
plied to everything from multiple choice to short answer questions, allowing flexibility in the structure of practice. The key to success with retrieval practice is how often and efficiently it’s utilized in class, not just when students are faced with an exam. When students engage in retrieval practice consistently rather than at the middle and end of the semester, it increases their understanding of important course concepts and allows them to adapt the knowledge to new situations. Not only would it ease stress around exam days, but instructors can improve learning rates and student confidence if they frequently engage in small quizzes or review prompts that trigger the retrieval process. If the goal of college courses is to equip students with knowledge to bring into their future careers, then midterms and final exams alone contribute little to increase retention of class material. I’m not here to say that cumulative exams should be abolished, but instructors shouldn’t rely on them as the sole form of ensuring students retain important class skills. If instructors choose to structure their class around one or two exams, a commitment must be made to embrace the full scope of retrieval practice and properly set up their students for success in class and beyond. csciorti@iu.edu
OLIVIA’S OUTLOOK
Electric scooters are dangerous and need to be regulated Olivia Franklin (she/her) is a junior studying journalism with a minor in political science.
On Aug. 13, I missed my bus by only a few minutes. After a hard day at work I just wanted to go home, so I decided to use a Lime scooter for the first time in two years. Big mistake. I was two-thirds of the way home when my hat lifted off of my head and, without thinking, I reached back to grab it. With only one hand on the scooter, I flew off. I broke my left thumb, fractured my right wrist and cried on the phone to my mom while I walked the rest of the way home. I went to the emergency room that afternoon, and temporary casts were put on my arms to prevent my injuries from worsening. A few days later, I got an actual cast which lasted for four weeks. Really, I’m just lucky some-
thing worse — like a head injury — didn’t happen. Electric scooters have injured or almost injured many people. A coworker has told me someone ran over her leg with a scooter, and I’ve even seen people on scooters hit cars. Bloomington should revisit the idea of putting more regulations on scooters, such as requiring helmets or adding more bike lanes on the roads so there would be a designated place for people to ride scooters. The city could even consider banning them if nothing else works. Bloomington isn’t the only city that has to deal with electric scooter accidents. Other college towns like Lafayette also have many electric scooter accidents. Purdue graduate Crystal Long went to the hospital with a broken nose after falling off of an electric scooter. Long
said she and a friend were riding around campus on scooters when another person on a scooter was driving toward them on the wrong side of the sidewalk. “I tried avoiding him and I ended up hitting a hole and face planting on the bricks,” Long said. Sometimes falling isn’t the biggest danger, but what could happen after falling off of the scooter is. “I hit the curb and I flew off of it onto the sidewalk,’’ IU sophomore Justin Opell said. “If I had landed in the street I probably would have been hit by a car.” Bloomington is full of people who drive electric scooters. Some people ride them while drunk which can result in severe injuries to themselves and others. The scooter companies recommend wearing a helmet while riding them, but most

people don’t carry a helmet around. The scooter companies should provide a helmet with each scooter so people can ride them safely. I have seen countless people ride scooters recklessly, so it’s no wonder people are
getting hurt. I have seen up to three people on a scooter at once, and with one wrong turn, they all could have gotten hurt. After my last experience, I don’t think I will ever ride another electric scooter again. I would rather wait an hour for
the bus than get hurt riding a scooter. I hope Bloomington and the scooter companies take steps to increase the safety of electric scooters so they are not as dangerous in the future. orfrankl@iu.edu

Community comes together for Festival X, said his business has organized an international food market for the festival in the past called the One World Night Market. The event did not take place this year, but Mease remains a high-level sponsor of the event and has been since the first festival in 1994. He donates beer to after-parties and pizza to volunteers as well as giving back 20% of the beer he sells at venues. “Really, the reason we do it is because we want to be part of this festival,” Mease said. “I can’t stop dancing when I’m here.” Lotus relies heavily on volunteer efforts as well. Gold-shirted volunteers help distribute information, admit entrance and give directions. Spending a night volunteering allows free access to other nights, an opportunity many take each year. Volunteering every year since the second festival, Mark Richardson said the Lotus ambiance makes living in Bloomington special. Low ticket prices and access to multiple artists in a centralized area was also a selling point. The festival is designed to let ticketholders attend as few or as many performances as they want. “It’s like what they say about Indiana weather: If you don’t like it, wait 15 minutes and it’s bound to change,” Richardson said. “If this music isn’t up to your interests,

Bloomington businesses and locals donate time and money each fall to the annual Lotus World Music & Arts Festival, with many believing the festival is an integral part of the Bloomington community. Since 1994, the Lotus Festival has relied on community support to achieve its goal of connecting to a global community through music, according to their website. “I think it just sums up Bloomington as a whole,” Jordan Davis, the Chocolate Moose’s director of operations, said. “I’ve never heard anyone complain about it, even people who don’t go.” The Chocolate Moose has been sponsoring Lotus for as long as Davis can remember. The company gives a percentage of their sales to the festival each year, averaging approximately $1,000. They’ve also been organizing Lotus’s annual Food Truck Village, featuring eight local food trucks set up from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Friday and 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday. Davis and his team set up tables and chairs for local patrons and take them down by hand. “I didn’t get done until 2 a.m.,” Davis said, laughing. “But it’s totally worth it.” Jeff Mease, local business owner and founder of businesses like Bloomington Brewing Company and Pizza

you might go to another venue and see something else.” Richardson also remarked on the support local businesses have given the festival — in particular, Needmore Coffee, which sponsored the biggest tent of the night. Needmore Coffee owner Katie Mysliwiec said she knew she wanted to be a part of the festival when she opened her business. A Bloomington native, she donates money and creates a custom coffee blend, called “Backstage Blend,” each year. Needmore Coffee holds an annual coffee launch party to generate excitement for the event. “We unveil the new blend and try to get folks to come out and give it a try,” Mysliwiec said. “Just trying to get the Lotus buzz started a little bit early.” While Lotus brings a festival to the community, the community shapes Lotus as well. Mysliwiec said she believes the community has to be involved to put on the festival as it is. Lotus is the experience it is, Mysliwiec said, because of the community’s support. On the last page of the program, next to red flowers and cartoon moons, Lotus leaves a note thanking sponsors and volunteers for their support: “Thank you, Bloomington. Your generosity and talents help bring the world to our community.”

Taking a for-credit yoga class at IU has been one of my best college decisions yet. This semester is the first time I have experienced inperson classes at IU. When I was building my schedule over the summer, I asked myself a series of questions. But the most important one was: What can I do to best help my mental health this semester? Throughout the past 18 months, I have become a stronger and more vocal advocate for mental health and the prioritization of balance and wellness in college life. I knew I had to practice what I preach. That is how I decided to enroll in School of Public Health I190: Yoga 1. To preface, the last time I took a yoga class was when I was 4 years old and in preschool. Deciding to commit myself to yoga for 16 weeks — as someone who struggles to do any form of exercise — was a big step. The class, consisting of a total of 18 students, takes place twice a week for 50 minutes. In my schedule, yoga ended up situated between two long lecture classes. I never thought I would be this grateful to have 50 minutes between lecture classes where I could relieve all the built-up tension, anxiety and stress from having to learn about financial ac-

counting in a crowded room. But that is just one benefit of taking an on-campus yoga class midday — you are forced to have a mental reset. My only qualm is that I wish yoga took place in a dark, cold room with nature sounds filling the silence, which also happens to be how my preschool yoga class was. Yoga is not easy. Finding the time to balance your body and your mind is not easy. You do not have to be good at yoga to do yoga. I am not good at downward dog because I have no wrist strength. My balance is conveniently only good in solitude, so doing balancing poses in class results in me falling over. The only parts of yoga I excel at are the resting poses or when we do 15-minute guided meditations, which are both like mini naps.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is an 8 — Your frugality serves you (and the planet) well. Reduce consumption at home to save money and resources. Keep your patience, especially with family.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) Today is a 7 — Hold onto what you have. Conserve resources. Minimize risks or hassle. Avoid gluttony or greed. Postpone financial discussions. Manage basic responsibilities. Pay the piper.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 6 — Routines could get disrupted. Lay low to process recent transitions. It’s faster to do something slowly, but only once. Breathe deeply. Consider the big picture.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is an 8 — Focus on basic priorities, especially with communications. Simplify the message. Clarify and repeat. Patience is golden. Support your network with information and encouragement.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) Today is a 9 — Take charge, especially when others don’t. Provide stability and leadership. Avoid risky situations. Keep a cool head despite temporary confusion or chaos.

The goal of yoga is to balance yourself, and even though I end up sore from a variety of poses, my mind and my body are telling me I made the right decision. As our world returns to a sense of normalcy, my yoga class has helped me adjust back to Bloomington and to the hustle and bustle of campus life. Because of these last five weeks of yoga, I can now successfully use yoga practices to ease my anxiety and stress whenever I need to. Twice a week for the rest of this semester, I will carry a thick pink yoga mat around Hodge Hall and squeeze it into tight lecture hall rows. A lot of people are curious about why I carry the mat around and are unaware that we can take a for-credit yoga class. People ask me if I recommend the class and whether it is worth the time, and my answer is always “yes” without hesitation.

MEN’S BASKETBALL
Indiana focused on winning championships By Tristan Jackson tripjack@iu.edu | @tristan_jackso
Every time the Indiana men’s basketball team takes to the court and goes to break the huddle, first-year head coach Mike Woodson has his players look up at the banners. Between five national championships and 22 Big Ten Championships, he wants the team to understand how much history the program has. During Indiana’s annual preseason media day Monday, Woodson said even during his career from 19761980, there was a lot at stake. He said while former head coach Bob Knight comes up from time to time, winning championships is what he focuses on. “Yes, that’s Coach Knight hanging in the rafters, that’s all they need to know,” Woodson said. “I got to push ‘em in that direction to make sure that they understand we’re playing to win a Big Ten and a national title, nothing else, man. It’s no good thinking any other way.” Woodson, who was hired March 28 after Archie Miller was fired, had his first opportunity to lead Indiana
this summer in the Bahamas as they played a two-game series with Serbian professional club BC Mega. Indiana went 2-0 on the trip, and Woodson said it was important for him considering it was his first time coaching at the college level after serving as a head coach for nine seasons in the NBA with the Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks. In addition to the players, Woodson said his staff needed the trip because they have just begun working together. “I really didn’t care if we won, but it was nice that we won,” Woodson said. Freshman guard Tamar Bates said Woodson has led Indiana’s efforts to create a family atmosphere around the program. Woodson brought on five new players to the roster this season — three transfers and two freshmen — and Bates said he brought in a great group of guys. “Coming together as a group hasn’t been a problem for us at all,” Bates said. “This is a team where we all like each other, and it will show on the court.” Bates took to the podium with preseason second-

team All-American Trayce Jackson-Davis. The junior forward, who considered leaving the program when Miller was fired, said Woodson was the perfect leader for Indiana. Woodson spoke about Jackson-Davis developing his jump shot this offseason, and that he’s been forcing him into positions to shoot it. Woodson knows JacksonDavis can knock down jump shots and Jackson-Davis said he’s been working on his
jump shot with Bates. “I’m in the gym every night working on my jump shot,” Jackson-Davis said. “If they give me a jumper I’m gonna let it fly.” Woodson’s focus for this off-season has been getting players out of their comfort zone and helping them develop their games. He said when he got to Indiana, his coaching staff told him senior forward Race Thompson wasn’t able to dribble the ball up the floor or knock
down jump shots. Woodson squashed that talk, saying it’s his job as a coach to get him to develop his game and start doing those things. “My coaches, when I sat with them, they were like, ‘This dude’s different,’” Woodson said. “I am different because I think out of the box. I want players to think out of the box.” Thompson said he handled the ball and shot more in high school, so under Woodson it was about getting reacclimating to doing that rather than entering uncharted territory. Thompson said talking to Woodson was exciting and that Woodson didn’t want to limit his game. He entered the transfer portal after Miller left the program but was ultimately convinced to stay because Woodson called him almost every day. “I don’t know how you could say no to Coach Woodson,” Thompson said. Sophomore guard Khrisitan Lander, a five-star recruit coming out of high school, reclassified to forgo his senior year and join the Hoosiers early. Woodson said Lander is starting to step up

Indiana wins first conference match By Ruth Cronin rmcronin@iu.edu | RuthCronin6
Indiana volleyball kicked off its Big Ten Conference schedule this weekend, taking on No. 7 Purdue and Michigan State at Wilkinson Hall in Bloomington. Indiana beat Michigan State and lost to Purdue, both of which were three-set matches. The Hoosiers started the weekend with a win against Michigan State in a tight three-set match with scores of 25-21, 25-23 and 25-20 on Friday night. “Obviously, we would’ve liked to close it out a little faster,” head coach Steve Aird said. “Any team in the Big Ten is going to keep fighting from the first whistle to the last whistle, and Michigan State always plays hard so credit to them.” Starters, senior outside hitter Kari Zumach and junior middle Kaley Rammelsberg were both back on the court for Indiana after suffering injuries earlier
in the season. Aird said this was the first time the starting lineup was intact all season. He said having the full starting lineup, along with serves by freshman outside hitter Mady Seris to close out the second game, made for a great match. Aird said he gives all credit to his team for working through a tough week, staying committed and doing things the right way in the Michigan State game. “They were phenomenal,” Aird said. “I think when we don’t have a lot of success, sometimes as a coach I could’ve been better in some of those matches pulling the strings, but tonight it was about them. When we needed people to step up and perform we had players do it.” Senior outside hitter Breana Edwards said she was proud of the team for giving 100%, especially after coming off of a tough week battling sickness and injuries. “I think it shows everyone that we have it in us,”
Edwards said. “Even though maybe people don’t see that from our record in preseason, I think we proved it tonight that we can hang in there and we’re a good volleyball team.” Following its win on Friday, Indiana lost to Purdue in a three-set match on Sunday with scores of 25-17, 2514 and 25-20. Aird said he was disappointed in the performance of the game, but that Purdue is a very confident and experienced group who he expects to have control over matches with a lot of teams this year. “When we play that flat and not that well I think it falls on my shoulders,” Aird said. “I’ve got to get the team ready to roll and get them up for the event. We played Friday night and tried to get a game plan on Saturday and clearly I didn’t do a very good job of getting us to where we needed to be.” The Hoosiers tied the score several times with strong plays by sopho-

now after a slow start this summer, and Lander said his confidence is up from earlier in the offseason. “That’s up now and that’s really all I need is my confidence,” Lander said. “I think my work ethic and all that will take care of itself.” Looking ahead to this season, Woodson said the team was ahead of schedule on the defensive end but still had some work to do on offense. Woodson said he’s always put the defense ahead of the offense as a coach because having a solid defensive foundation gives the team a chance to win games. He said the team needs to fine tune the offense ahead of its season opener against Eastern Michigan University on Nov. 9. “I’m, as a coach, sitting here today pleased where we are but knowing we got a long way to go,” Woodson said.

more Camryn Haworth but couldn’t take the lead against the Boilermakers. Aird said he was disappointed with the team’s execution, but a lot of it was because Purdue is an excellent opponent. “On the other side of it, the stuff we can control, I thought we could’ve done a little bit better,” Aird said. In its third set against Purdue, Indiana tightened the gap by scoring several points. Aird said the crowd at Wilkinson Hall was going crazy when they started to fight at the end of the game and thought the environment was great. “It’s one match,” Aird said. “We’re 1-1 in the Big Ten at the end of the weekend so it’s not the end of the world but we need to learn from it.” Indiana moves to 7-7 this season after a 1-1 start to Big Ten play. The team will play Ohio State at 6 p.m. Wednesday in Columbus, Ohio in its next match. Ohio State is 10-2 this season and 0-2 in the Big Ten.
Indiana beats Western Kentucky Saturday By Evan Gerike egerike@iu.edu | @evangerike
Before Indiana football’s game Saturday against Western Kentucky University, head coach Tom Allen told the media during a weekly press conference that he had full faith in junior quarterback Michael Penix Jr. to improve upon his first three performances. Penix backed up his coach, throwing for 373 yards against Western Kentucky to lead Indiana to a 33-31 victory. “So proud of him just for overcoming all of what he’s been through these last few weeks,” Allen said in a postgame press conference. “It’s hard, it’s tough. But I’ve never wavered in my belief in him.” The quarterback easily surpassed his previous season high for passing
yards and completions. He connected with senior wide receiver Ty Fryfogle 10 times for 98 yards, both season highs. Penix and senior tight end Peyton Hendershot connected six times for a season-best 94 yards. “They know that as long as they do their job, the play is going to come to them,” Penix said. “I trust that all of them are going to make the big catches.” But in a game where Penix, Fryfogle and Hendershot each had their best games of the season, junior kicker Charles Campbell was Indiana’s best player. Campbell tied a school record with four made field goals, capping off fourstraight drives with three points. His first was a 46-yard attempt that sailed between the uprights.

Kentucky offside penalty negated a miss on the 51-yard attempt before that. Indiana’s offense took over with 55 seconds left in the first half, looking to extend its 20-14 lead over Western Kentucky before halftime. Indiana drove 61 yards in 39 seconds before its next two passes fell incomplete and they were forced to settle for a field goal. The drive was the second consecutive time Indiana reached the red zone
and failed to score a touchdown. But Indiana wasn’t haunted by the points it left on the board. “You’ve got to have a guy like (Campbell),” Allen said. “Definitely needed a few more touchdowns in there, but obviously those field goals were the difference in the game.” Despite Western Kentucky graduate student quarterback Bailey Zappe throwing 365 yards, the defense held strong enough to help Indiana escape with the win. The Hoosiers forced two
consecutive three-and-outs in the second half while only up three on the Hilltoppers. Senior linebacker Micah McFadden led Indiana with 12 tackles a week after being ejected for a targeting penalty last week against the University of Cincinnati. Senior defensive back Devon Matthews, who missed the last two weeks with an injury sustained against Iowa, was second with eight. Penix threw zero interceptions against Western Kentucky after throwing six in his first three games. Allen said Penix was able to
relax during his throws, helping him fit the ball into tight throwing windows. Penix had 10 passes of over 15 yards, including a 26yard completion to Hendershot in the first quarter. “I’ve never thought his confidence was ever shaken,” Allen said. “I did know though that he needed to just relax and play, not worry about making mistakes. Just go out there and play ball.” Indiana is 2-2 on the season and will play Penn State at 7:30 p.m. next Saturday at Beaver Stadium in University Park, Pennsylvania.
