Roxane Gay reads from and discusses one of her bestselling books, “Bad Feminist.” After she introduces herself she comments — "I've written some books, so what?"

Nasty Women Roxane Gay visits IU, reads from her bestselling book of feminist stories

By Anne Halliwell ahalliwe@indiana.edu | @Anne_Halliwell

Roxane Gay talked Twitter, Trump and Tatum at her speaking engagement Wednesday night in President’s Hall.

Gay read two excerpts from her recent work, “Difficult Women,” an anthology about women who face sexual assault, infidelity and grief, and answered audience questions about current politics, her upcoming work, writing for screen and comics, and feminism — both its good and bad sides.

Most of the time was spent in a question-and-answer portion, where Gay fielded questions about political action and her avowed love for Channing Tatum.

On Wednesday news broke that Gay, 42, had pulled her forthcoming book, “How to Be Heard,” from her deal with publisher Simon & Schuster, according to BuzzFeed News.

The book publisher had previously made a deal to publish Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos’ novel after he was banned from Twitter for orchestrating a racist harassment campaign against “Ghostbusters” star Leslie Jones.

“I just couldn’t sleep at night thinking, ‘They’re just going to give him a platform for hate?’” Gay said. “I felt like that was a stand I could take to say, ‘We’re not going to normalize racism.’”

Gay told the audience that Yiannopoulos’ advance, $250,000, exceeded the advances for her first five books.

Anna Cabe, a graduate student in the English department, asked Gay how she manages the online harassment she receives.

Her answer was to ignore it, mute it or fire back.

Cabe said Gay’s answer was candid and fulfilled her expectations of the author.

“There’s something kind of new about this age where you can talk to people across the world,” Cabe said.

“It opens you up to a torrent of really terrible things that I think our current president has legitimized.”

Kyle Polster, a freshman at IU, said he arrived at Franklin Hall at about 4:30 p.m. to ensure he’d get a seat.

The doors opened at 6:10 p.m. instead of the projected 6:30 p.m. after the line across the hallway in front of President’s Hall had already gone around the corner.

Polster, who has read Gay’s work since his freshman year in high school, said he’s studied her work extensively and watched her TED talk, “Confessions of a Bad Feminist.”

“I’ve probably written about eight papers on her, but there’s something about seeing her in person,” Polster said. “Just holistically, I love how brutally honest she is. She’s SEE ROXANE, PAGE 6

Former IU offensive line coach Greg Frey has taken a job at Michigan and is set to leave Bloomington for Ann Arbor, Michigan, themichiganinsider.com’s Sam Webb reported Wednesday morning.

At Michigan, Frey will coach offensive tackles and tight ends and coordinate the running game. Frey occupied a similar role at IU, where he coached the offensive line, coordinated the running game and was assistant head coach in 2016.

Frey is recognized as one of the top offensive line coaches in the nation. He was nominated for the 2015 Broyles Award and coached Hoosier All-America offensive linemen Jason Spriggs and Dan Feeney.

Hired by former IU Coach Kevin Wilson in 2011, Frey built an offensive line that guided former Hoosier running backs Tevin Coleman, Jordan Howard and Devine Redding to 1,000-yard seasons from 2014-16.

Getting his coaching start at South Florida in 1996, Frey had key ties to the state that allowed for a recruiting pipeline between IU and Florida. Frey had ties to Ohio as well.

The offensive line coach was also an integral part in bringing former defensive coordinator and new IU Coach Tom Allen from South Florida to IU. Frey had spent time at Michigan as the offensive line coach from 200810 before joining Wilson’s IU staff in Bloomington.

There is no word yet on who will replace Frey at IU. Taylor Lehman

A night in the life of one IU police officer

By Kelly Evans evanskn@indiana.edu | @knickle5

Full-time officer Pablo Padilla, clad in a navy blue beanie and short sleeve IU Police Department uniform, left the police station.

It was Tuesday night at IUPD. The station was nearly silent except for the hum of the lobby radiator and the chatter of police radios behind closed doors.

Headlights from cars and buses outside shined across the glass of the department’s double doors as he left.

Just a few minutes after 8:30 p.m., Padilla was ready to begin his rounds, which had him drive around campus to see what tonight had in store for him.

When the scanner was inactive, Padilla was free to drive around campus and the outer area of Bloomington. The young officer kept a keen eye out for traffic violations and people who look generally suspicious. Padilla said some of the more common offenses the department sees are substance-related.

“We deal a lot with intoxicated individuals and marijuana at the dorms,” Padilla said. “It’s not necessarily a huge problem, but I guess it’s what you’d expect working on a college campus, especially the night shift.”

Padilla graduated from IU last December after completing his criminal justice degree in three and a half years. He was also a graduate of the IUPD cadet program.

“I love Bloomington night life,” Padilla said. “I’m 22 years old and a full-time officer, so it’s like I’m still living the college life.”

Padilla hadn’t even been on the road for 20 minutes when he encountered his first traffic violation — a seemingly expired license plate — across from the police department. He called in to headquarters on his radio and triggered the flashing blue and red lights for his first stop of the night. This particular driver just happened to forget to put his new sticker on his plate — a minor mistake that Padilla let off with a warning.

The night continues.

Approaching 9 p.m., Padilla continued cruising down North Jordan Avenue. The officer drove a larger police car, instead of the sedan he is used to driving. Without murmurs from the radio, the only other noise came from the gun box in the trunk rattling after the car hits a pothole or suddenly stops at a red light.

This was hour three of Padilla’s shift. IUPD recently switched from eight to 12-hour shifts.

While 12-hour shifts might not

be the norm for most jobs in the United States, Padilla said he loves the current set-up.

“I can say that it’s split between who likes and doesn’t like it,” Padilla said. “The days are long, but I love it.”

Tuesday had little activity.

Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays are typically the busiest days especially compared to Sundays and Mondays, but crime can be unpredictable, and it could happen in a second, Padilla said.

A jumble of numbers and police codes screeched out from the radio. The Bloomington Police Department narrowed in on a

car it’s been attempting to locate.

Just a few blocks away from the location, Padilla took off. His slow crawl of 25 miles per hour doubled to 50. His sirens and lights penetrated the pitch-black darkness of the night, as he quickly spoke into the radio. He’s en route for backup.

Padilla sped past the heart of Bloomington and enters a neighborhood past the BPD. His hand tightened on the steering wheel with every passing second.

Since President Trump was sworn in Friday, his first week has been packed with executive orders, appointments and White House press briefings. Here is a rundown of his most recent actions.

United States-Mexico border wall construction ordered President Trump signed an executive order Wednesday morning to take the first steps to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Trump also called for a boost in border patrol forces and an increase in efforts to deport illegal immigrants. The executive order will also seek to eliminate sanctuary cities and the practice of releasing undocumented immigrants detained by federal officials before trial.

In an interview on ABC News Trump told David Muir construction of the wall would begin in months. Trump said negotiations will begin soon for Mexico to pay for the wall through reimbursements.

This is the first in a series of orders expected to crack down on illegal immigration, decrease the number of refugees who can settle in the U.S., and prevent Syrians and people from other “terror-prone” nations from coming to the U.S. Government agencies ordered to stop using Twitter and publishing news releases The Trump administration has ordered employees at the SEE TRUMP, PAGE 6

Students practice their faith through college Sarah Vershoor sverscho@iu.edu | @SarahVerschoor

A knee-length skirt is Hannah Iskow’s choice of dress for class every day. As a Jewish person, she said she tries to embody Judaism in her outlook on life, her day-to-day activities and her dress.

“More so when I’ve gotten to college, I don’t wear tight clothing and try not to wear tight shirts,” Iskow said. “I am very cognizant.

It’s funny who notices and who doesn’t.”

To continue her practice on campus, Iskow became the student board president of Aish, a campus Jewish organization.

Aish is one of more than 50 religious and spiritual groups at IU. In these groups students can practice their faiths while away from home and have the ability to explore others.

“It’s a Jewish resource for students and faculty on campus,” Iskow said. “It connects Jewish students to Judaism in whatever way possible.”

Aish offers weekly Friday night Shabbat dinners, helps students participate in birthright trips to Israel and other places abroad, and is often host to social events.

Iskow was introduced to the organization by a friend.

“I was a little intimidated, but, once I started going, I couldn’t stop,” Iskow said.

“I kind of live there.”

Iskow said she faced challenges with her faith at IU. She was the only Jewish student living in the INSPIRE Living Learning Center, which is a center designed for creating a diverse environment, her freshman year.

“I was the Jewish friend, and I didn’t like that at first,” Iskow said.

However, as she became more involved with the Jewish community at IU, she became comfortable answering people’s questions about her faith, she said.

Her faith has only grown since she has come.

There are two other Jewish centers on campus — the Hillel Center and Chabad House. Iskow said she frequents all three, but Aish is more centered on growth and learning about Judaism.

“It’s a very close-knit, tight community and also very welcoming,” Iskow said. “On a large campus a with large community it’s one of those places you walk into and feel at home.”

A sense of community and connections with other people of the same faith is also something that drew

Sam Kane to Cru, a interdenominational Christian group on campus.

Kane said he grew up in a strong Christian environment, but, as a freshman, he was not interested in joining a Christian group right away.

“I wanted to see what life was like outside a small Christian community,” Kane said.

However, Kane said he felt like he wasn’t making a strong connection with people on campus. He said most of the conversations he had with students in his dorm were superficial.

One night his brother, a Cru member, invited him to go for a midnight swim at the Cutouts with some other Cru members.

“They asked me personal questions,” Kane said. “They wanted to get to know me.”

Three years later Kane, now a senior, is the president of Cru. Cru has weekly meetings where 200 to 300 people come to talk about issues relevant to college life, living out faith and worship.

Cru also has Bible studies in residence halls in each of IU’s three residential neighborhoods.

“IU is such a big place,” Kane said. “Even someone on two ends of a dorm have massively different

upbringings.”

He said especially at any secular school, like IU, the current is going against Christians. However, he said being firm in belief can keep students connected to their faith.

“Plant your feet, and go in the direction you want,” Kane said. “For me, it’s opposition that will make you a lot stronger, whatever your beliefs.”

In the past, Cru has worked with organizations like the Secular Alliance to start conversations

for people with different viewpoints.

IU’s Secular Alliance provides a community for people who live without religion. It offers weekly discussion meetings, opportunities for activism and support.

Religous studies professor Candy Brown, in her 11 years teaching at IU, said she has seen a growing number of students identify as spiritual not religious.

However, religious devotion is different for each individual, Brown said.

“It’s an age when young adults are making their own decisions,” Brown said.

“For some it means a closer commitment and owning their faith for themselves, and for others it’s a time for exploration.”

Despite more students identifying as spiritual not religious, faith still plays a role for many students on campus.

“When you look for something comforting or something more stable, faith is what you cling to,” Iskow said.

LGBT alumni celebrate philanthropy and heritage

By Hannah Boufford hbouffor@umail.iu.edu @hannahboufford

Attached to lamp posts on Seventh Street, crimson banners advertise the GLBT Alumni Association’s 20th anniversary.

GLBTAA is also welcoming alumni back with its ninth annual Celebration Weekend, starting Friday with an awards ceremony.

Graduates from IU often identify who other similar alumni, whether they come from programs like the Singing Hoosiers or Marching Hundred, are, but for LGBT alumni it is much harder to do so, Vice President Cindy Stone of the GLBT Alumni Association said.

“We had to put the welcome mat out so they could

come together,” she said.

As the group’s founding vice president, Stone helped build the case as to why the GLBTAA should be formed and why they should receive funding. Stone said there was resistance to its formation because of the state of gay equality at the time of the group’s foundation.

“There were some critics who asked why we needed a GLBT alumni group inside the IU Alumni Association,” Stone said. “‘Didn’t the alumni association serve everyone?’ And they do, but when you feel you might be closeted or limited in career choice opportunities at the time, you feel marginalized at the time, then having an alumni association for our group met a need that was real.”

After a year of

consultations and approvals, the GLBTAA was approved and became an affiliate of the IU Alumni Association on June 13, 1997, former GLBTAA Board President Mike Shumate said.

The mission of the organization is to help improve the quality of life for LGBT students, faculty and alumni on IU’s eight campuses, Shumate said.

This mission has not changed in the 20 years of the organization’s history, Shumate said. To accomplish this mission it puts on various programs, offers mini grants, has pride fairs and more. The organization’s scholarship program is one of its primary focuses.

“It is a cornerstone of what we’re all about,” Shumate said.

The GLBTAA’s scholarship program offers students both merit-based and emergency scholarships. The scholarship program was created in 2005, and has since provided more than 70 scholarships he said. In Sept. 2013 the program launched its scholarship campaign to help raise money for the scholarship program, Shumate said.

“It got wonderful support from the University administration,” GLBTAA Board President Tim Lemper said.

The emergency scholarships fund offers support to students who are financially cut off when they disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity to their family, Shumate said.

“The crux right now, and what will get everyone’s attention, will be this campaign,”

Students and faculty talk sex and love

By Larmie Sanyon lsanyon@indiana.edu | @LarmieSanyon

Questions about what it means to be cisgender, monogamous and abused were plucked from the jar and discussed at length. Hands at each table reached out to grab the little glass jars with white pieces of paper in them. Individuals slowly opened their selection, looked down and read the question aloud, but not everyone knew the answer. .

“Black Love, Sex and Everything else” took place at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the NealMarshall Grand Hall. Students and professors gathered to discuss love, sex and racial issues.

Mostly African American students and faculty filled the room. Food like Baked! of Bloomington cookies were available to lighten the mood and get people talking. Each of the round tables had a black cover, clear jars with discussion topics in them and raised flashcards that read “Fact vs.

Myth” in red and black.

Kristen Petty, junior and undergraduate staff at Neal-Marshall, was one of the two event organizers.

She was supported by event volunteers.

“I started working here the beginning of the school year,” Petty said. “This is really the biggest event I’ve been allowed to put a lot of input in.”

For Petty Neal-Marshall is like a home away from home.

“With the stress of school you always want to be around people that look like you and go through the same struggles,” she said. “At the end of the day you just want a sense of belonging.”

The inspiration for the event came about after semesters of students visiting the black culture center and talking about their sexual knowledge, myths and consent.

Petty said with Valentine’s Day right around the corner it is always best to have conversations about safe sex.

Not all the attendants were frequent visitors to NealMarshall as Petty. Sophomore Tyshaonae Hamilton said she doesn’t come to Neal-Marshall as often as she would like. However, Hamilton said there was something special about this event.

“The topic of the event seemed really interesting,” she said. “I like how it’s a discussion based event that lets you listen to people’s ideas.”

The discussion groups allowed people to see and hear everyone at their table , which allowed conversation to flow. This was done on purpose because Petty said it’s up to organizations and individuals to open the way for discussions.

The round tables also served Hamilton well because she said she was interested in hearing people talk about issues that aren’t always easy to talk about.

Deveny Rhem, a junior, was one of the most talkative people at her table.. She said she visits Neal-Marshall about three times a week because it’s her favorite place to study.

“Freshman year I didn’t know much about the place, then I had to do a project about it my sophomore year,” Rhem said. “Then I realized how awesome it was and started taking advantage.”

The advantages of Neal-Marshall go beyond a

Shumate said. “It is a welcoming beacon of light from Indiana University to all. It is such a powerful message especially in this day and age.”

Shumate oversaw much of the campaign and helped raise funds while also contributing his own money, Lemper said.

This weekend the GLBTAA will be observing its ninth annual Celebration Weekend for the organization’s 20th anniversary.

On Friday there will be an awards reception from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center to give the Distinguished Alumni Award to Shumate and present the LGBT Spirit Award to several students.

On Saturday the organization will have its annual board meeting at the Devault

Alumni Center, and, later that day, there will be a silent auction and reception from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at Grazie!

Italiano. Tickets are $20, and the funds will go to student scholarships.

All of these events coincide with the Bloomington PRIDE Film Festival, which the GLBTAA helps sponsor.

“We’re just excited that this weekend is a time for our members to come together and celebrate all the progress we’ve made over the past 20 years on and off campus and celebrate with our friends and our loved ones and thank the University for its support and see what’s next,” Stone said.

“These are very different times in Indianapolis and Washington, D.C., and what do we need to do to keep moving forward? That is the question.”

CORRECTION In the photo caption for the story “Solar rights: Bill would get rid of a huge solar incentive if passed,” the Indiana Daily Student misstated the price of powering the church. The price dropped from $5,000 a year to $1,000 a year, not permonth. The caption also misstated the subject’s name as “Darrel Bogess.” His name is Darrell Bogess.

Crumble Coffee opens downtown location

By Brooke McAfee bemcafee@indiana.edu bemcafee24601

The area of downtown Bloomington near North College Ave. is kind of like a coffee wasteland, Crumble Coffee & Bakery owner Laura Noell said. After observing this lack of coffee shops, she and co-owner Scott Reynolds said they decided to open up another shop in that area.

“I think a coffee shop has a unique opportunity to be a community gathering place, and we saw a need for that in this location,” she said.

Crumble Coffee & Bakery opened a second coffee shop Jan. 11 at 532 N. College Ave. Its first location is at 1567 South Piazza Drive in Bloomington.

The shop sells specialty coffees from the local Quarrymen Coffee Roasting Company and organic tea from a business in Kansas called the Hugo Tea Company.

Except for the puff pastry, all of its baked goods are made in the store every day, head baker and manager Noell said.

This focus on fresh baked

goods sets Crumble Coffee apart from many coffee shops, Reynolds said.

Crumble Coffee has options like muffins, scones, brownies, crumble bars and cookies.

The shop always has at least one savory option, including quiches, Noell said.

It also has at least one gluten free option every day.

The bakery changes up their recipes for items like muffins and scones, but it also has standards like chocolate chip cookies and Almond Joy cookies.

Noell said the coffee shop provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere with its decorations and tones of copper, green and wood.

Customer Theresa DeBuhr, 33, purchased a cup of drip coffee and a cranberryrosemary scone Monday.

She said it was her first time at the coffee shop.

“They had great coffee, so I’ll probably come back and try one of their specialty drinks at some point,” she said.

The coffee shop’s decorations matched her style and interests, she said. The walls are adorned with pic-

Crumble Coffee & Bakery opened a new downtown location on North College Avenue in Bloomington.

tures related to astronomy, a bookshelf holds sciencefiction novels, and numerous succulent plants are placed around the shop.

“It’s as if my husband and I had been asked to decorate a coffee shop,” DeBuhr said. “I love succulents. I love cacti. We both love space and astronomy and science fiction, especially old science fiction. They kind of hit all the points.”

DeBuhr said she also likes the amount of seating in the coffee shop, which seats up to 54 people. It is a place she could sit and work at her laptop for a long period of time without feeling pressured to leave, she said.

“It sometimes is hard to find a coffee shop that feels like a coffee shop,” she said.

“This feels like a nice space to be in and has an, ‘I could work here for a while,’ vibe.”

First-year medical student Ben Bacon has already been to the downtown Crumble Coffee six or seven times. It is the perfect place to study, he said.

Before it opened in the new location, he said he had heard positive remarks about the original coffee shop, so he decided to try it out when the new shop opened.

“I have tried the coffee, the tea and the espresso,” Ba-

con said. “It’s all been great so far.”

The location of this new coffee shop provides a way to connect IU students with Bloomington locals because it is close to apartments and businesses downtown, Reynolds said.

“It’s really just about people mingling,” he said. “Even if they don’t know each other, they are encountering each other, which is really cool”

Authorities encourage public to report phone scams

By Jack Evans jackevan@indiana.edu @JackHEvans

An ongoing wave of phone scams targeted at senior citizens yielded more than 3,700 complaints to the state attorney general’s office in 2016 — a number authorities said may only be a fraction of the actual scams and attempts.

The callers in these scams often identify themselves as Internal Revenue Service agents, said Marguerite Sweeney, the section chief for telephone privacy at the state Office of the Attorney General. They demand payments on fictitious taxes or fees. They threaten victims with jail time or violence, and they use the powers of the internet — a Google Earth search that can show a caller what a victim’s house looks like, for example — to make the stakes seem real.

Most of the complaints — more than 3,500 — tallied by

the state attorney general’s office were categorized as do-not-call complaints as opposed to criminal ones.

Monroe County saw 121, the fifth-most of any county in Indiana, of those do-not-call complaints.

Senior citizens often find themselves the targets of these scams for a variety of reasons, including generational gaps between how people perceive strange callers, Sweeney said.

“Number one is they tend to answer the phone,” she said, mentioning that younger people often let unknown numbers go to voicemail. “They were taught to be polite and listen. It doesn’t occur to seniors that people across the globe would be calling them to scam them.”

Much of the problem originates outside of Indiana and even the United States, Sweeney said. Case in point: She saw complaints drop sharply in October after a crackdown on phone

scammers in India. As a New York Times story earlier this month detailed, police in Thane, India, took down a scam-focused, 700-employee call center and arrested its 70 highest-ranking employees. The Times noted the scheme had cost Americans $100 million since 2013.

Still, the scams remain a problem in Indiana, and it is significant enough that the Indiana State Police’s Bloomington post issued a press release last week to raise awareness of the IRS agent scams and similar scams.

ISP Sgt. Curt Durnil said in an interview the international nature of these scams makes it difficult for local law enforcement to do much.

“Where did the crime occur — did it occur in Bloomington or where the call originated? Who will prosecute the case?” he said. “How do you go after someone online who scammed someone out

of thousands of dollars?”

Thousands isn’t an exaggeration, he said. Phone scams are nothing new, but he said he believes they’ve gotten worse recently. They used to come in waves with criminals demanding a few hundred dollars, but in the past few years, he’s heard more about larger frauds — often in the $1,000 to $2,000 range up to as much as $6,000 — and the crime seems constant instead of fluctuating, possibly because information on the internet makes it easier than ever for scammers to pass themselves off as officials.

What he hears about may only be a drop in the bucket, he said.

“We’re hearing about it on a weekly basis, but the problem is I think a lot of people who have been scammed are too embarrassed to report it,” Durnil said.

Sweeney agreed. She said she’s been doing do-not-call enforcement for 15 years,

and the understanding has always been that complaints only equal a fraction of the total calls.

The attorney general’s office offers an online reporting option, which she hopes encourages complaints by people who have been scammed and may be too embarrassed to call. She also noted the IRS encourages victims of IRS-related phone scams to report them online to the U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.

Durnil said the most helpful thing authorities can do is maintain public awareness. If people know the scams exist and how to handle calls they’re unsure of then they should take their time and not make hasty decisions, that way ISP may be able to stem the tide.

“I tell people all the time that even a bad plan is better than no plan at all,” he said. “What I tell people is ‘Don’t get pressured to

City council debates business funding and land purchases

By Emily Ernsberger emelerns@indiana.edu | @emilyerns

Members of the Bloomington Common Council debated renovations and land purchases during Wednesday night’s committee of the whole session.

Envisage Technologies Inc., a company specializing in law-enforcement training software, has requested money from the city to renovate their current office space in Fountain Square Mall. The total renovation costs are estimated to be $350,000. Envisage is requesting a maximum

amount of $300,000 from the city’s Industrial Development Fund.

The Bloomington Industrial Advisory Commission recommended the council pass the resolution.

Envisage and other businesses downtown are located in the Community Revitalization Enhancement District. CREDs are zones within cities in which businesses can request funds to create gainful employment opportunities, attract new businesses or expand enterprise within the district.

David Haeberle, chief financial officer of Envisage,

said the renovations to their current space would help bring in about 80 new fulltime jobs and an additional payroll of $4.6 million by 2022. Renovations would include updates to floors and walls, furniture, and computer equipment additions.

Haeberle said the majority of the jobs created after these renovations would be based in Bloomington.

Though the company started in Bloomington, Haeberle said the company has grown to operate in numerous states and has clients as high profile as the U.S. Department of

Man who robbed bank at Evansville Walmart gets 100 months’ imprisonment

By Taylor Telford ttelford@indiana.edu | @ttelford1883

It was a classic bank robbery. An innocuous-looking man in a baseball cap, a note slid to a teller, a hand, hinting at a gun, in a pocket.

The only difference was as the robber waited for the frightened tellers to hand him the money, he dropped his driver’s license and debit card on the floor and failed to notice.

Heath B. Clark robbed banks in Indiana, Missouri and Georgia during a twoweek span in March 2015.

One was a Woodforest National Bank inside a Walmart in Evansville, Indiana, where, according to court documents, he accidentally left behind the two pieces of identification.

bank robbery and was sentenced to 100 months imprisonment in federal court Tuesday for the robberies.

In total, Clark came away with nearly $21,000 from the three banks he robbed, according to court documents.

He will have to pay the banks back in full for what he stole.

His spree began on March 9 at a Fifth Third Bank inside a Kroger in Georgia. He walked in and passed a note to the teller that said, “You are being robbed. I have a gun.”

He threatened to shoot the woman if she failed to empty the drawer, raised an alarm or placed a GPS device in with the money . Although he never showed a gun, the teller said Clark had a “large bulge in the front of his waistband that he kept putting his hands near.” She gave him $11,515.

After Clark fled, police searched the premises and

found a long-sleeved blue shirt in the parking lot that matched the description of the shirt Clark had worn.

It was sent for DNA testing and came back as a match to Clark, according to court documents.

Clark repeated his act in Evansville, where he dropped his license and debit card and stole $830, and in a Bank of Bolivar in Springfield, Missouri, where he stole $8,610.

Through security footage and photo line-ups, a bank manager and teller from the Evansville bank were able to identify Clark for authorities, according to court documents. Authorities began tracing Clark’s cellphone and used it to find him March 24, 2015, at Gold Strike Casino in Robinsonville, Mississippi.

After Clark is released from prison, he will serve three years of supervised release.

Though council suggested it pass the resolution in its next meeting, the council took time to question and, for some, not make a decision on whether or not to approve the funding.

“I think this money well spent for the community,” councilman Chris Sturbaum said.

Councilman Andy Ruff said he did not like the idea of public funding going to private companies that would expand so far and not benefit only Bloomington.

“This is tax money they have paid already that they

will get back,” councilwoman Isabel PiedmontSmith said. “Yes, it’s a tax break, but it’s tax money that would not exist without Envisage.”

The resolution should be up for a vote at next Wednesday’s council meeting.

The council also suggested it approve the sale of two parcels of land owned by the city. The land plots at 1901 and 1914 W. Third St. were purchased by the city in 2000.

Adam Wason, director of the board of public works, said they were purchased by private property owners

for a Third Street expansion project. He said they are no longer needed, and the board of public works would like to get sell the properties. Wason said the parcels were purchased as part of a larger property purchase by the city, but the two parcels in question were never used.

The council also recommended it pass the resolution permitting a sale of the properties. The resolution should be up for vote at next week’s meeting.

New appointments were also made to the newly instated parking commission.

COLIN’S COLUMN

Proposed Russian law violates basic principles of decency

ILLUSTRATION BY KATHRYN MEIER | IDS

Band takes fight to court The First Amendment should not end at the patent office The Slants, an AsianAmerican dance-rock band, named after a former slur for Asian-Americans, recently released its new EP, “The Band Who Must Not Be Named.”

The recording’s title, however, does not reference Harry Potter; rather, it makes an ironic gesture toward an ongoing controversy about trademark law.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office denied the band’s application to trademark its name on the basis of a 70-year-old law prohibiting trademark recognition of “disparaging” names or symbols. The Slants, founded by Simon Tam, subsequently challenged the trademark office’s decision and claimed the law infringes on First Amendment rights.

The case, Lee v. Tam, has since reached the Supreme Court of the United States, where the court’s decision could potentially set a prece-

dent for other cases involving trademarks of slurs. In particular a ruling in favor of the Slants could potentially give legal backing to the Washington Redskins’ current suit for the reinstatement of its trademark.

The Redskins’ trademark was rescinded in 2014 based on the same law that is now under scrutiny in the Slants’ case.

Although two cases might seem equivalent under the letter of the law, the Editorial Board does not think they are identical in principle. Instead, the cases require additional context in interpreting the law because of the complexities of what constitutes an offensive name. As Tam has emphasized, the Slants’ name is an attempt to reclaim an ethnic slur as a symbol of AsianAmerican pride and identity.

The Slants are not the only group to reclaim an offensive epithet and recast it in a more

positive context. A recent example is the “Crip the Vote” campaign.

A group of disability rights activists started the movement to promote political participation within the disability community by re-appropriating the term “crip” as a sign of activism and empowerment. While it is uncertain what would happen if “Crip the Vote” tried to trademark its name, the law could hypothetically deny the trademark under this same standard.

In distant history the name “Yankee” was a derogatory term for Americans.

It was first deployed first by the British in the colonial period and later by Confederate troops during the Civil War. However, today the term benignly identifies a baseball team and conveys a sense of American identity.

Cases like these fundamentally question who gets to

determine what is offensive.

In part the trademark restriction only serves to reinforce slurs by not allowing them to fall out of use naturally or to acquire a less offensive meaning.

Perhaps trademark law requires a more flexible standard, like the Miller test for determining obscenity, which requires a work to be “taken as a whole” and evaluated in the complete context of its creation.

After all, the Slants’ name clearly does not intend to be offensive. For the Redskins, such intentions are less clear.

Nevertheless, the Editorial Board believes the best option is simply to observe the First Amendment in trademark law.

Just as free speech has the potential to be offensive, it also has the ability to oppose and critique offensive speech and even redefine its meaning.

I’ve written recently about Russia’s state in the world as well as the strain in the United States’ relations with them.

In fact an editorial I wrote a few weeks ago was about our need to view Russia outside of the nationalistic black and white we tend to stray toward.

My point was despite our political disagreements and our tendency toward a rivalry we need to approach Russia as we do other countries — on a policy-by-policy basis.

This isn’t to say that we should overlook the turbulence of Russian politics or mention the brutish nature of many of their laws, given Vladimir Putin’s presidency and the aggressive history of the Cold War. So while legislating on violence isn’t that different from the violence present in Russian affairs, a bill currently up for debate by Russian lawmakers is particularly egregious.

Backed by Russia’s religious right, this bill is in its second reading, and is all-but guaranteed to go to Putin for approval.

The sponsor of the law, Yelena B. Mizulina is quoted by the New York Times as having said, “In the traditional Russian family culture, relations between fathers and sons are built upon the authority of parents’ power, mutual love and personal indispensability as the basis for children’s upbringing,” Reigning back current domestic violence laws (which aren’t stringent enough in the first place), this bill would allow husbands to abuse their wives once a year with penalties of only $500, and it would only make husbands truly accountable in the case of broken bones.

This sort of accountability rollback for abusers is an outrage on a basic humanitarian level.

No one deserves to be beaten into submission.

However, this problem goes further than this horrific bill.

Russia has a culture of domestic violence far worse than in the U.S. because abuse is viewed so poorly in the U.S., whereas in Russia it’s considered an extension of masculine authority over the household.

This obviously isn’t true

COLIN DOMBROWSKI is a freshman in advertising and English.

for everyone, but it is true enough that an estimated 14,000 Russian women die every year from domestic violence as opposed to only 4,000 in the United States, which has double the population.

It’s a problem for a variety of reasons, but the main two are mix of alcoholism and a culture of enabling. Though the stereotype of the Russian drinking vodka can be insensitive, there’s actually a legitimate basis for this prejudice.

About 25 percent of Russian men die due to alcohol-related problems, such as cirrhosis, before the age of 55 , and as is obvious, drunkenness and abuse go hand in hand However, the worst part isn’t the rampant alcoholism.

It’s actually the cultural attitudes that much of the population has toward domestic violence.

This is apparent in the popular Russian proverb “If he beats you, it means he loves you.”

Now, that’s an abhorrent sentiment but it’s one that’s believed by a large segment of the population and particularly by the religious orthodoxy.

It’s amidst this dangerous mixing of religion and alcohol that abuse becomes such a problem, and it’s one that isn’t helped by legislative accommodation.

So while we need to be careful not to vilify Russia political system, despite consistent opposition to the U.S., they’re not evil, simply self interested.

However when it comes to laws like this, accommodating, and legally enabling a culture of violence towards women, it’s critical that we’re vocal in our opposition.

Domestic violence is wrong, regardless of what culture you live in, or what patriarchal laws are on the books.

We need to take our freedom to speak, and hold Russian lawmakers accountable. ctdombro@umail.iu.edu @ doctorthaddeus

MULLING IT OVER WITH MERM

SELON MOI

Nazis deserve what they get

Feminism must become inclusive

Why are we confused and offended by someone who punched a neo-Nazi?

On Inauguration Day, Richard Spencer was interviewing about claims made about him being a neo-Nazi. After Spencer explained the purpose of his Pepe pin — the adopted symbol of the “alt-right” — an anonymous bystander in a mask punched Spencer in the head.

Spencer is the white supremacist leader of the “altright,” defined by the Associated Press as a white nationalist movement, also known as the alternative right party. He promotes homophobia, antiSemitism, and anti-feminism.

It’s not a stretch for someone to read the term antiSemitism and be reminded of the Nazi party. Neo-Nazism is a rebirth of Nazi ideals and a continuation the Nazi party.

Yes, violence is not the

answer. It’s never the answer, just like it wasn’t the answer during all of the wars we, as a nation, have participated in or how it was never the answer to supposedly suspicious young black men.

At the annual National Policy Institute in November 2016, Spencer and his followers saluted Trump’s victory and hailed our new president.

The Atlantic reported during the conference that Spencer spoke about his dreams of an ethnostate that was primarily European. He even promoted “peaceful ethnic cleansing.”

People want to cry out for peaceful protest and to refrain from violence in these situations, but Spencer and his white nationalist party have put a monetary bounty on the person who punched him.

Spencer has shared the links to the donation site to fund the $300,000 — and growing

— bounty on the anonymous attacker.

People didn’t have a problem when pop culture icons such as Captain America were punching Nazis. It must be easier to justify violence in fiction than in real life.

I do not want to live in a country filled with neo-Nazis.

We cannot simply ignore the rising of the “alt-right” or its intentions.

We also should take care not to ignore the support of the “alt-right” for our freshly inaugurated president.

I’m not going to advocate for punching people we don’t agree with, but I’m also not going to protect “alt-right” figures who promoted the idea of an ethnic cleansing. mmgarbac@umail.iu.edu

This past weekend, the Women’s March on Washington had between 3 and 4 million attendants in total, three times more than Trump’s inauguration.

However, it’s essential that we understand the feminist movement has always prioritized white women and ignored women of color. If the feminism that we are marching for isn’t intersectional, then it is actively harmful.

The term intersectionality was coined by Kimberle Crenshaw in 1989.

Intersectionality seeks to understand the interactions among different types of identities in society. It speaks to issues surrounding the popularization of white feminism, or feminism only benefiting white women. This manifests itself in many different ways. It

usually covers white women taking charge of feminist events and only protesting the issues — abortion access, equal pay, etc. — that directly affect them. This completely ignores the struggles of women of color.

The Women’s March was praised for being extremely peaceful compared to other recent protests, but this is an extremely unfair comparison. This protest had more white people than any other protest in recent history.

When white women are the majority, cops are not going to be hostile. Consider, for example, statistics about racial profiling showing police are twice as likely to stop black drivers, or numbers from New York City’s stop and frisk program that showed minorities were disproportionally likely to be stopped by police.

EMMA GETZ is a freshman in history.

White feminism is also known to propagate transmisogyny. Those who attended the marches saw many women directly correlating womanhood to their genitalia through signs with slogans like “pussy grabs back.” Reproductive rights are definitely an important feminist issue that must be addressed, but the key is to do so in a way that does not exclude transgender people We, gender conforming white women, have a lot of work to do. It is time we step back and listen to women of color and transgendered women and help their voices be heard in any way we can. emmagetz@umail.iu.edu

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Two-game road trip starts Thursday for IU

By Andrew Hussey aphussey@indiana.edu @thehussnetwork

After IU got off to a rough, 1-3 start in Big Ten conference play, the Hoosiers have rebounded by winning three consecutive games and four of five.

Now IU embarks on a twogame road trip with the first game coming at 9 p.m. Thursday against Michigan.

The Wolverines are 13-7 this season and 3-4 in conference play. Michigan has won two out of its last three games, and the only loss came by four points at No. 15 Wisconsin.

“They’re a great basketball team,” sophomore forward Thomas Bryant said of the Wolverines. “They’re coached really well. They have great shooters, and they know how to play the game of basketball pretty good, but I feel like we’re prepared for whatever they have in store.”

Michigan has been strong at home this season with an 11-2 record so far at the Crisler Center. The Wolverines shoot 48.5 percent from the field at home, which is higher than their overall field goal percentage of 47.3 percent.

“They have tremendous shooting,” IU Coach Tom Crean said in his radio show on WHCC 105.1 FM. “Everyone they put on the floor can shoot it with range. They run a very systematic offense in that they are going to read their cuts. Everybody can shoot.

They play through the high

post and through their big men.”

Bryant said Michigan’s sharpshooters aren’t afraid to shoot from a few feet beyond the three-point line, so the Hoosiers will have to be prepared to play defense above the arc.

Indiana native and senior guard Zak Irvin is Michigan’s leading scorer at 14.5 points per game. He has been on a hot streak lately and has averaged 16.2 points per game in Michigan’s last five contests.

However, he has struggled from 3-point range this season. He has shot 25 percent from deep in conference games.

Michigan is also led by senior guard Derrick Walton Jr., who is averaging 12.6 points per game, and sophomore forward Moritz Wagner, who is averaging 11.9 points per game. Wagner is Michigan’s best 3-point shooter. He has shot 44.6-percent from beyond the arc. Walton is nearly as prolific from behind the arc with a 42-percent mark from deep.

Junior forward D.J. Wilson is Michigan’s leading rebounder at 6.4 rebounds per game, but that number has dropped to 4.6 rebounds per game in the Wolverines’ last five contests.

“D.J. Wilson is coming off his best game from what I have seen. He may have had a game with better numbers, but I thought he was absolutely obsessed with getting to the glass and how he attacked the

other day and the way they played against Illinois,” IU Coach Tom Crean said. “They are the bona fide real deal, and they have a deep team.

They have the shooting at every position, and they have a smart, cerebral team with

how they want to defend.”

Sophomore forward Juwan Morgan’s status for playing against Michigan remains a question mark. Morgan has a foot injury, but assistant coach Tim Buckley said a decision has not been made if

he’s going to play.

Last week, IU notched its first road win of the season at Penn State, so the Hoosiers are looking to build on that win with improved confidence.

“I feel like we learned just

play through adversity out there on the road because every game on the road, especially in conference is a dog fight,” Bryant said. “You’ve got to come up there with your hard hat and bring your best punch. You can’t let up at all.”

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Hoosiers look to bench for in-game support, energy

By Jake Thomer jjthomer@indiana.edu @jake_the_thomer

Peek over at the bench after the Hoosiers score or make a defensive stop during an IU women’s basketball game, and you may see some peculiar interactions.

During a recent IU win against Purdue, players fell into each other’s arms to feign unconsciousness, freshman guard Ria Gulley jumped rope with a Gatorade towel, and sophomore guard Tia Elbert jumped in joy so enthusiastically that IU Coach Teri Moren said she’d never seen someone so small get so high.

It’s not uncommon for college basketball bench players to celebrate wildly. It can fire up the crowd and serve as an effective way to keep all the team’s players involved in the game. But typically, coaches pay more attention to what’s happening on the court and

ignore any bench theatrics going on in the background.

Moren, on the other hand, keeps a watchful eye on her substitutes.

“The energy that we get from one another is extremely important,” Moren said. “I was disappointed in watching our Northwestern game.

It seemed like we were going back and forth, and the energy that Northwestern had on their bench was far different than ours. It was an opportunity for a teachable moment in film.”

That’s right — Moren and her staff don’t just watch film to evaluate on-court performance. They look at the bench too. The Northwestern game Moren referred to took place Jan. 14. It was IU’s second consecutive loss, and although the Hoosiers were able to tie that game in the middle of the third quarter, they let things slip away and lost by 13 points.

Moren thought the result of that game hinged, at least in part, on the bench’s failure to energize the players on the court during the tightly contested stretch in the third quarter that ultimately decided the outcome of the game.

Recently team video coordinator Erin McKinney has even begun compiling short two-minute clips for IU to watch during film sessions that focus solely on the bench and its actions during games, Moren said.

“That matters,” Moren said. “The chemistry, the enthusiasm, the energy — they all feed off each other, and I wanted them to see what the energy looked like. We were polar opposite of what Northwestern was that day.”

A few days after the loss to Northwestern, IU returned home to face its rival, Purdue, and Moren issued a challenge to her team. She said she wanted to see the bench

revitalized and needed every player to help the cause.

The players on the court stepped up to deliver the win and were aided by those on the bench who celebrated every positive IU play with a renewed excitement. Junior guard Tyra Buss played all 40 minutes against Purdue and said the bench energy fueled her.

“We’ve talked about it in film,” Buss said. “We’ve had a meeting about just our energy and just being excited for one another and being happy for each others’ success,”” The Hoosiers went 2-0 on their most recent home stand, including the win over Purdue and a win against Penn State on Mon. As IU hits the road for its next two games, Moren said she is determined to see the same level of involvement from her bench during games.

In more hostile environments she said she knows it will be more important for her team

to support itself.

“It was great karma, great energy that we needed, and hopefully that’s something we’re going to continue to

have,” Moren said of the bench attitude against Purdue. “We’ve got to take that energy and bottle it up and take it on the road with us too.”

MEN’S FOOTBALL

4-star quarterback recruit discusses IU Bishop Sullivan Catholic quarterback Tyler DeSue has one season of high school football left before the 4-star dual-threat quarterback decides where he will play his college ball.

The Virginia Beach, Virginia, native received an offer from IU on Jan. 22 and has almost exactly a year to explore his options before he signs his letter of intent.

With IU earning a 2017 commitment from quarTyler DeSue terback Nick Tronti, Florida’s Mr. Football, on Tuesday, the Hoosiers are hitting the position hard. IU does not yet have a quarterback commit in its class of 2018.

DeSue is ranked 135th in espn.com’s Top 300 for the class of 2018.

According to 247 Sports, the six-foot-one quarterback is ranked as the 12thbest dual-threat quarterback in his class and 307th overall.

The Indiana Daily Student was able to talk with DeSue by phone just a few days after receiving his offer.

DeSue talked about his uncle Tony DeSue, who played collegiate football at Clemosn, as well as IU quarterbacks coach Shawn Watson, who is DeSue’s main recruiter on the IU coaching staff.

IDS: What made you start to play football?

DeSue: I’ve just always been around it. My uncle played at Clemson, and my dad ran track and played football in high school too.

We’ve always been competitive in my family, and we’re all pretty athletic so I picked it up pretty easily.

IDS: You’ve probably watched a lot of your uncle’s college tapes then?

DeSue: Actually that’s one of my biggest regrets. I haven’t seen him play any college ball, just his high school stuff.

IDS: Well, obviously the recruiting process can be long and grueling, so what are the best parts and what are the worst parts about being a recruit of your caliber?

DeSue: It’s been long. I think it’s been long because I was getting interest early and got my first offer when I was 12 or 13 years old.

I’m just ready to make a decision. I don’t want to

have to wait another year.

It’s frustrating sometimes.

But at the same time, I’ve made some really great connections because of it. I’ve seen what kind of doors can open and what kind of future I can have with football and past college. Not a lot of people have that.

IDS: Are academics a real focus for you and your family?

DeSue: Oh yeah. I’d say the most important thing for me and where I’m going to school is can I live there?

Where it’s at is pretty important to me. Then the second thing is academics and then athletics.

I know I have to look at what I can do after football because football won’t last forever.

IDS: When it comes to your caliber, you have four stars, but lately we’ve been seeing guys who were two stars finding success in some big games. What does your rating mean to you?

DeSue: It doesn’t mean that much. There are guys ranked way higher than me and then guys ranked way higher than those guys.

But to me, the numbers they put on kids is ridiculous. None of it matters if

you can’t get on a field and produce.

Then it’s just a number.

I find stars to be pointless most of the time.

IDS: You’re from Virginia, and you’ve taken visits to West Virginia and Miami. What do those programs have to offer and what is it like around those schools?

DeSue: Miami is so big.

It doesn’t even really feel like a college. The culture there is just so different. I can’t really put it into words.

Then West Vrignia — people around there eat and breathe West Virginia Football. They live it. It’s pretty crazy.

IDS: IU made you an offer a few days ago. How did all of that come to fruition?

DeSue: Well, I had talked to them during the season, but I didn’t think it would get this serious this fast.

Shawn Watson called me, and it’s funny because I was best friends with his grandson when we were younger.

Coach Watson’s daughter is his mom, but they moved away to San Diego because his dad is a Navy SEAL. That was pretty cool.

Cabe said Gay’s lecture tapped into themes of race and gender that Cabe deals with on a daily basis.

“As a woman of color and as a writer, I admire the way she conducts herself,” Cabe said. “It was really important for me to see her tonight ... She’s a model I might want to follow for myself.”

Gay’s readers can follow that model from her previously published “Bad Feminist,” a collection of essays; a novel, “An Untamed State”; and many other pieces of literary fiction and nonfiction. Her upcoming book, “Hunger: A Memoir of (My) Body” hits shelves June 13.

As the morning hours passed, Padilla continued to roam. Every alleyway, every bar, every street is a potential crime scene. His slightly rolled-down window lets in a soft breeze as the officer continues his patrol into the morning.

Environmental Protection Agency and in scientific research at the Department of Agriculture to halt publication of “outward-facing” documents and news releases.

EPA employees are banned from talking to the media, including through social media, and they are barred from awarding any new contracts or grants.

President Trump signed an executive order after his inauguration Friday.

The order enforces a “regulatory freeze pending review” for all federal agency rules that had been finalized during former President Barack Obama’s term but have not yet taken effect.

The prohibitions came out Tuesday when the EPA delayed implementation of at least 30 environmental

rules finalized in the last months of Obama’s term.

These regulations include updated air pollution rulings for some states, renewable fuel standards and limits on the amount of formaldehyde that can leach from wood products.

Agriculture Research Services chief Sharon Drumm sent an email to employees in her department telling them of the media blackout.

“Starting immediately and until further notice, ARS will not release any public-facing documents,” she said. “This includes, but is not limited to, news releases, photos, fact sheets, news feeds, and social media content.”

The ARS guidance was not published in coordination with other USDA offices and partially contradicted a department-wide memo that was sent out the same day, according to the Washington Post.

The memo, issued by the department’s acting deputy administrator, Michael Young, was designed to offer guidance on interim procedures until a new secretary takes over the USDA. “The ARS guidance was not reviewed by me,” Young said in a phone call with reporters Tuesday night, according to the Washington Post. “I would not have put that kind of guidance out.”

Young said the guidance in his memo was policy-related and “that sort of thing.”

The ARS has a $1 billion budget and employs thousands of scientists at research locations across the country.

Its primary task with conducting research is to “develop and transfer solutions to agricultural problems of high national priority,” according to the USDA. Research mainly focuses on topics such as animal and crop production, food safety, nutrition and

agricultural sustainability.

“I will be asking for a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD, including those registered to vote in two states, those who are illegal and ... even, those registered to vote who are dead (and many for a long time). Depending on results, we will strengthen up voting procedures!” Trump wrote in two consecutive tweets.

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said the voter fraud investigation may go beyond the 2016 election and could center on large states where Trump didn’t necessarily compete. Spicer said problems with illegal voting occurred in bigger states. He did not cite any evidence.

PRIDE GUIDE Can’t make the Bloomington Pride Film Festival this weekend? Here are the best LGBT, gender-queer and allaround open-minded films to stream instead. From confused intersex teenagers to gay fairytales for kids, these streaming platforms are making inclusive stories a priority.

BLOOMINGTON PRIDE FILM FESTIVAL Tickets $0-60 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 10:45 p.m. Saturday Buskirk-Chumley Theater

NETFLIX “CLOSET MONSTER” In a sea of films where young leads struggle to understand their ambiguous identities “Closet Monster” delivers a story about a boy who knows exactly who he is. Swathed in metaphor and heavily laden with symbolism, this film deals with emotional climaxes more impressionistically than concretely. The talking hamster isn’t as weird as you’d expect.

“THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY” Does a lesbian, May-December, bondage, dominance, sadism and masochism relationship film sound up your alley? Perhaps not, but “The Duke of Burgundy” neatly subverts almost every expectation viewers might have going in. Zero men appear in the movie.

“MARGARITA WITH A STRAW” Laila, a student at Delhi University, lives with cerebral palsy. “Margarita” doubles down on storytelling about marginalized identities by adding a romantic connection with a blind woman Laila meets after she transfers to New York University and by exploring her feelings for a male student in one of her classes.

“PARIAH” A 17-year-old black teen comes to terms with her own sexuality but struggles to make her family understand. The movie balances strong female relationships — romantic, platonic and familial — with a poignant father-daughter bond.

“TANGERINE” A transgender sex worker named Sin-Dee leads the charge in this comedy of love, laughter and occasional misadventures in the pursuit of both. The film was shot on three iPhones, but the really groundbreaking aspect of “Tangerine” is its refusal to allow gender to limit any of its characters.

AMAZON “FAREWELL, MY QUEEN” Finally someone gets history right. In this French period drama Marie Antoinette secretly falls in love with her lady-in-waiting, played by Bond girl Léa Seydoux.

FIRST GIRL I LOVED” Dylan Gelula of “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” falls in love with Brianna Hildebrand of “Deadpool” in this high school love story. Negasonic Teenage Warhead as the most popular lesbian in school? We’re in.

“PASSING” This short documentary follows three men who have undergone gender reassignment surgery to go from female to male. The subjects discuss their experiences of being black trans men in a hostile society.

“SPA NIGHT” David, a closeted Korean-American teenager, takes a job at a Korean spa in Los Angeles to help his impoverished family. “Spa Night” explores themes of desire, shame and cultural tradition.

“XXY” In this Argentinian drama intersex 15-year-old Alex struggles with her gender identity. When a gay family friend comes to visit, she realizes that she has the right to choose a gender for herself.

HULU “THE BRAVEST KNIGHT WHO EVER LIVED” This animated fairytale for kids follows a brave young pumpkin farmer who wants nothing more than to be a knight. After years of training Sir Cedric rescues a pair of royal siblings from a monstrous dragon, ultimately deciding to marry the prince.

“CAROL” One of 2015’s best films, “Carol” follows a pair of women in the 1950s as they fall in love and face resistance from the men in their lives. If there’s a better way to spend two hours than watching Rooney Mara fall head over heels for Cate Blanchett — at her most fabulous — we don’t know of it.

“ROSALINE” The creators of “The Bravest Knight Who Ever Lived” bring us a young woman named Rosaline who travels through a dangerous forest to deliver a picnic to her sweetheart. She braves everything from witches to wolves, finally making it to her true love — who is revealed to be a woman.

“WEEKEND” Director Andrew Haigh paints a restrained, beautiful picture of two gay men who have a brief but life-changing encounter. Exploring themes of identity, authenticity and true love, “Weekend” is a hyper-real snapshot of a relationship doomed from the start.

“Y TU MAMÁ TAMBIÉN” In this Mexican road trip film two teenage boys embark on a journey with a free-spirited older woman. Diego Luna and Gael Garc í a Bernal sparked a bromance for the ages in this famous exploration of masculinity and bisexuality.

Oscar Nominations 2017 Record-breaking, diverse nominees make history

By Kate Halliwell khalliwe@indiana.edu @Kate_ _Halliwell

No matter how the Academy Awards play out Feb. 26, history has already been made.

Not only was the delivery of this morning’s nominations new — it was a series of pre-recorded videos starring former winners — but many of the nominations were record-breaking.

Perhaps the most historically impressive of all were the 14 nominations for Damien Chazelle’s loveletter to Hollywood, “La La Land.” The number ties “Titanic” and “All About Eve” for the most Oscar nominations in history. If “La La Land” can win 12 of those 14 nominations, which would be genuinely jaw-dropping, it would break the all-time Academy Award record.

Joining “La La Land” in the Best Picture race are eight other films: “Moonlight,” “Arrival,” “Hell or High Water,” “Hidden Figures,” “Fences,” “Lion,” “Hacksaw Ridge” and “Manchester by the Sea.” Another notable number — four of the nine nominated films are stories about people of color, which is a major step up from past years.

The Oscars may still be overwhelmingly white, but seven of the 20 acting nominees this year are people of color, which ties the record from 2007. Six black actors were nominated, which is an all-time record high.

In addition to those records, Octavia Spencer, nominated for “Hidden Figures,” is the only black actress ever to have won an Oscar and been nominated again.

Best Supporting Actor nominee Dev Patel is the first Asian acting nominee in 10 years, and his nomination is the third time an

actor of Indian descent has ever been nominated for an Oscar. The other nominations went to Ben Kingsley in 1991 and 2001.

Meryl Streep picked up her 20th nomination for her performance in “Florence Foster Jenkins.” Streep broke her own record as the most nominated actor of all time. Katherine Hepburn and Jack Nicholson are tied for second at 12 each. Overrated? Who? Check out the full list of nominations below, and head over to the Weekend Facebook page to watch us break down the biggest snubs and surprises of the morning.

W | OKAY, COMPUTER

HBO doc pits fantasy versus reality “Beware the Slenderman,” a true crime documentary directed by Irene Taylor Brodsky is a chilling film. And it’s not because of Slenderman.

Though that tall, faceless figure in a suit and tie looms over the premise as in so many DeviantArt comics and amateur YouTube creepypasta videos, he plays a small role in a film that’s more interested in asking how the internet, isolation and mental illness led to the stabbing of 12-year-old Payton Leutner a little more than two years ago by Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier, Leutner’s two best friends.

A lesser, more sensational documentary would have probably put forth the following ideas — kids are gullible, especially when given unlimited access to the internet; predators use the web to coerce vulnerable children into harming themselves and each other; and the internet is bad for young, developing minds.

The truth of the story is more upsetting. We learn that Geyser, from a young age, had trouble experiencing compassion. Her mother said her daughter did not cry when Bambi’s mother died and she’d always wondered about her daughter’s capacity

for empathy.

We learn later Geyser’s father lives with schizophrenia, though neither he nor Geyser’s mother ever told their daughter because they were worried they’d shock her.

According to her father, Weier became reclusive after receiving an iPad for Christmas and would often spend hours after school gazing at the device. In one sequence Brodsky shows us snippets from Weier’s YouTube history. We see a cat eating a mouse and a CGI-rendered clown cackling at dead baby jokes. We see a couple of videos that tout themselves as “psychopath quizzes,” and Weier’s comments show delight in her ability to score highly on them. Of course we see Slenderman videos.

In an interview with a child psychologist, the point is raised that, had Geyser and Weier had more friends, Leutner probably wouldn’t have been stabbed, and, had there been more opportunity for disruption, the girls probably wouldn’t have fed off each other’s fantasies in the same vicious cycle.

In their mutual and unchallenged obsession with Slenderman, Geyser and Weier never limited their increasingly extreme fantasies.

Fueled by fervent internet

communities across virtually every platform on the web, the girls became trapped in their own delusion, and that entanglement, alongside untreated mental illness, is why Weier created so many murder plots she couldn’t keep them straight and why the girls stabbed Leutner 19 times with a knife in an effort to appease a digital boogeyman.

Brodsky makes it clear from the start that Geyser and Weier are outsiders. They have few friends aside from each other and Leutner and are picked on by the rest of their sixth-grade class.

If I were to play pop psychologist here — and I want to because this is my column, but I also don’t want to, because the movie never does — I would say this: Outsiders have always sought hobbies into which they can retreat when life gets difficult. As a teenager, life gets difficult for everyone, and the internet only makes escaping easier. With their imagination sparked by a found-footage phenomenon, Geyser and Weier created a fantasy and, from what Brodsky’s documentary leads the viewer to believe, never once questioned it.

The crime committed is horrendous and obviously

MOVIE STILLS DATABASE

Morgan Geyser is brought into court by a sheriff ’s deputy Aug. 21, 2015, during the arraignment of the Slenderman stabbing trial in Waukesha County Court in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The court entered a not guilty plea for them and moved to set a trial date in mid October.

lacks a single cause. While it’s one driven by internet culture, it’s also one that raises necessary questions regarding the cruelty of childhood bullying and the stigma of mental illness. “Beware the Slenderman” is not an easy

film to watch, but thankfully it doesn’t fall back on tired scare-mongering and moral panic-rousing. Instead Brodsky shows us a crime where the motives are every bit as disturbing and ambiguous as the suited apparition Geyser

and Weier strove to appease.

First leg of Mayer’s ‘Search’ impresses

By Tori Ziege vziege@indiana.edu @ToriZiege

John Mayer is back.

God, it feels good to write those words.

After three years of studio incubation, Mayer returned Friday with “Wave One”, the first installment of his seventh studio album, “The Search For Everything.”

Following a trend of unconventional album releases by prominent artists such as Rihanna and Beyoncé,

Mayer will release his opus four songs at a time.

As it stands now the “The Search For Everything” is 14 minutes long. That’s not enough time to cross campus, let alone to form a substantial opinion on this album.

It is ample time, however, to dissect each song, as I was instantly compelled to do when the album dropped. After four days of living inside “The Search For Everything,” here’s what I, a Mayer zealot, can say thus far.

“Love On The Weekend” The wholly underwhelming debut single is included in the first wave of “The Search for Everything” so really, it’s only three new songs we’re getting in this installment. It’s more of the quintessential Mayer pop you hear playing in department stores and chain restaurants. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Mayer said he wrote “Love On The Weekend” with the fervor of “all the best songs (he’s) ever written.”

The result is enthusias-

tic but ultimately underwhelming. Initially, this song left me concerned about the album’s ability to meet its ridiculously inflated expectations. However, it works better in the album than it does as a standalone.

“Changing” Mayer referred to “Changing” as “the spiritual centerpiece of the album.”

For those anticipating a bust-out Mayer guitar solo, this is your “Wave One” hit.

This song exemplifies how the stories behind the tracks

on “Search” are just as important as the tracks. To explore “Search” is to explore Mayer, and that expedition begins with “Changing.”

“Moving On and Getting Over” Depending on which Mayer you prefer — the innovative blues musician or the emotive lyricist — this may be your “Wave One” favorite. It’s a rhythm and blues groove that results in irresistible head-bobbing, with a novel, syncopated hook that will stick in your

head. It’s reminiscent of Mayer’s collaboration with David LaBruyere, “Broken Time,” which is a reference only a pretentious Mayer fanatic could make.

“You’re Gonna Live Forever In Me” The other candidate for “Wave One” favorite, “You’re Gonna Live Forever in Me,” bears beautiful resemblance in score and title to Randy Newman’s “You’ve Got a Friend in Me.” The SEE MAYER, PAGE 11

Movement Cooperative prepares for recital

By Sanya Ali siali@iu.edu | @siali13

The dancers of Movement Cooperative, dressed in various forms of attire ranging from leggings to sweatpants, shook out their limbs between songs. Some shed outer layers. Others already wore sleeveless shirts and used the time to stretch against the walls.

They took a break during their three-hour rehearsal and looked to Jaclyn Walsh, the group’s guest choreographer, who instructed them on where to go next as she moved throughout the black floor of the rehearsal space out to the edges of the bright-orange tape.

“You guys come down here — really use the space — come out as far as possible,” Walsh said.

Walsh visited IU this week as part of a residency program for the IU Contemporary Dance Program to prepare the dancers in Movement Cooperative for their spring recital, which takes place in April.

This is the third time Walsh, a choreographer based in New York City, has come to IU to work with dancers before. This is the first time she has come independently without a dance company.

“Being here as my own choreographer has been a blast,” Walsh said. “I’m creating a piece for their senior showcase, and I told them going into this that I’m not

looking to make a masterpiece. I’m looking to make something they enjoy performing and that people enjoy watching and that they’re going to leave the stage sweaty and happy.”

The goal was to create a party on stage for the dancers and the audience, Walsh said. The performance begins with everyone in formation to Fred Astaire’s “I Won’t Dance” and shifts gears with Eats Everything’s “Dancing (Again!).”

“I wanted to start out with a song that was a little vanilla — kind of go a little ‘musical theater’ aspect in terms of the performance quality — and then have this kind of immediate shift into night life, partying it up, kind of a last hoorah,” Walsh said.

Elizabeth Burr and Hannah Briner, two seniors performing the piece, said their experiences with Walsh has been a great send off.

“She is a joy to work with and a firecracker,” Burr said.

“I think we all build our energy off of her. She basically said, ‘I want to make a dance you guys enjoy. I want to make this a good piece to send you guys off into the professional world.’”

The recital will be the final performance for these dancers on one stage, and Briner said the thirteen girls in the cooperative are close as performers and friends.

“This is our last time dancing together,” Briner said. “Our last time dancing in college.”

ADELINA JUSUF | IDS

Dancers in the Movement Cooperative rehears with visiting residency choreographer Jaclyn Walsh. The rehearsal took place Wednesday evening in the dance studio in the School of Public Health.

“As the senior class, we’ve all been a family,” Burr added.

The performance follows a particular narrative, starting with the first song and working in elements of theatricality moving into the second, Burr said.

“It kind of bridges two different styles,” Briner said.

“The first half has some musical theater inspirations,

some jazzy, acting aspects, and the second half is a complete switch in energy and movement.”

Burr said the storyline was one that traces the trajectory of a night out.

“She conveyed it as we are at a dance, flying solo, without any dates, so at the beginning it’s like, ‘Oh, nobody wants to dance with us,’” Burr

said. “Then we get to a point where we say, ‘Oh, it doesn’t matter if people want to dance with us, we’re going to have a great time.’ It’s fun, it’s very lighthearted.”

The passion to perform and the eagerness to learn the dancers exhibit are some reasons why Walsh said she has enjoyed working with them.

“I enjoy kind of fostering those relationships, because I’m here to support them and to support their journey,” Walsh said. “I’ve been through it, and I want to offer as much knowledge as possible. This group, in particular, is so much fun and so respectful and I wish I could work with them longer than a week.”

Noon Talk revolves around Vik Muniz’s activism

By Noelle Snider nmsnider@indiana.edu @snider_noelle

The Eskenazi Museum of Art invited a speaker to discuss her take on artist Vik Muniz as an activist in front of students and members of the Bloomington community for the “Noon Talk” series.

Yara Clüver, visual artist and associate director of the Collins Living-Learning Center, gave the Noon Talk.

Clüver was first drawn to Muniz’ work when seeing his photographs in a book.

“I thought they were interesting mostly because of the materials,” Clüver said.

Muniz is known for using obscure objects and materials to create his masterpieces.

In some of his art he used black beans, peanut butter, jelly, wire and trash. The series Clüver focused on first

showed Muniz’ use of sugar crystals.

Another idea that Muniz works with involving material is the idea that, up close, a viewer can see the materials used, but far away the viewer sees what the photo is supposed to be. Phil Stafford, retired director of the Center on Aging and Community, found this also to be true with seeing problems within local and global communities.

“Up close you see how it’s made, and when you get back you have a different type of meaning,” Stafford said.

“That’s the same challenge that is associated with change — from the global to the local.”

“Sugar Children” is a series containing six photographs that connects the history of sugar in Brazil to the people Muniz had met when in Saint Kitts in the Caribbean.

Clüver discussed the relationship between Muniz and the children on the island.

Once he was introduced to the parents he realized the difference between the two groups was pronounced because of the parents’ work on the sugar plantation.

“He realized then that the hard lives of the parents were plantation workers working 16 hours a day,” Clüver said.

“They had a hardness to their life, sort of a bitterness and hardness to their life, which was in stark contrast to the experience he was having with the kids.”

Clüver then said Muniz used sugar crystals for their texture and volume and representativeness of the parents’ labor.

Through time Muniz’ work became more inclusive for those involved with his project. He continued to work

with children in different forms of art, displayed in the series “Invisible Objects.”

The children Muniz worked with were fresh off the streets, Clüver said. Muniz had to work hard at breaking down their exteriors to connect with them. He wanted to because he realized they had lost their imagination.

Clüver went on to say Muniz had the children pose holding an imaginary object.

This pose was to lead the children to imagine and feel what kind of object they would hold. This would let them dream and imagine.

“Because of the way these kids were living on the streets, they had lost the ability to imagine,” Clüver said. “They had lost that desire to or were not aware that any sort of dreaming of a future for themselves outside of the streets.”

HELLO FROM THE OTHER SIDE

Italians revitalize their approach to the daily cup of coffee Compared to most normal college students my addiction to coffee is very mild. In fact I can barely stand to sip on the bitter, dark liquid so many obsess over unless it’s drowning in caramel, peppermint mocha or pumpkin spice flavoring.

So you can imagine that upon my arrival in Italy I was skeptical to try a simple cappuccino.

It’s just a shot of espresso and hot foamed milk. Surprisingly enough, as I took this first sip at a random café I came upon in Florence, Italy,

my immediate thought was that this cappuccino blew Starbucks’ coffee out of the water.

While Italy is known for it handmade pasta, fresh pizza and decadent wines, we must not forget to recognize Italians superb ability to provide an outrageously smooth cup of joe at literally any of their local cafés.

Italy, however, has done more than master the art of making a perfect cup of coffee. It has also taken ownership of the saying, “you work to live. You don’t live to work.”

The coffee culture in Italy compared to the United States shows just how differently we think of this caffeinated savior and our daily routine in general.

For most Americans, college students especially, we crave coffee not necessarily because we want to sit and enjoy each sip but because we need that caffeine to hit our bloodstream as fast as possible to compensate for the lack of sleep we got the night before and the dreadful 8 a.m. class that awaits us.

“Even if you don’t meet anybody there that you know and even if you don’t chat, still you know the bartender, the bartender knows what you’re going to have, you have a tiny chat with him or her about the weather, but really it’s like Italians’ second home,” said Kraczyna.

Folk-rock sound to play at the Bishop

appreciate the boost of energy they get from the cup of coffee they make at home, Florence native and resident Anna Kraczyna said any coffee an Italian gets at a café (or as Italians call it, a bar) is for social purposes.

“When you’re going to the bar, it’s really a social moment,” Kraczyna said. “So, yes, you are going for the coffee. It does wake you up, but in reality what you’re going there for is the social moment.”

Kraczyna also said for most Italians there is a routine, daily break built into

Spirit of ‘68 promotions will present the musical works of an artist with an interesting perspective this week.

Singer-songwriter M.C. Taylor will perform at 9:30 p.m. Thursday in the Bishop Bar as Hiss Golden Messenger, the folk-rock outfit from Durham, North Carolina.

The show will also feature singer-songwriter Ryan Gustafson’s musical project, the Dead Tongues.

Talent booker for the Bishop and owner of Spirit of ’68 promotions Dan Coleman has been booking shows for the Bishop for more than

six years now and said he’s been a fan of Hiss Golden Messenger for a while.

Taylor’s performance roots in Bloomington stretch back to his short tribute tour with Magnolia Electric Co. in 2014, but Coleman said Taylor’s performance at Bloomington’s Pit Stop Music Festival in 2015 won him over.

“He has a very soulful roots sound that harkens back to the likes of Leon Russell and the Band,” Coleman said.

Taylor’s newest record, “Heart Like a Levee,” was released last October by Merge Records. After gaining praise from the likes of Pitchfork, Rolling Stone and the Atlantic, he began taking his record

on a worldwide tour through the United States, United Kingdom and Europe.

Taylor described the music from “Heart Like a Levee” as bittersweet and striking a chord that feels major and minor at the same time. On his website he said he wrote the album with, “the vow that my children would understand their father as a man in love with his world and the inventor of his own days.”

As a booker of local talent for Bloomington venues, Spirit of ‘68 has been working since 2012 to bring a variety of the best, most diverse music to basements and venues around town because “distance and high gas prices shouldn’t be a barrier to

Although it may not be easy to gauge the musical preferences of a town full of transient listeners like Bloomington, Coleman and Spirit of ‘68 have brought big acts like the xx, Kurt Vile and Parquet Courts to shows in town.

“I don’t have a guiding principle for bands as much as I have a feel,” Coleman said.

“Having been in Bloomington through so many musical trends you get used to riding the wave of the town and taking your chances when they present themselves.”

Podcast perfection Welcome to a column about an exceptional podcast.

“You Must Remember This” is a great series for movie-lovers and fans of history in general. Join us as we look at the brainchild of the talented film writer Karina Longworth.

Every week “You Must Remember This” tells a different story about the American movie industry in the 20th century.

At first every episode focused on a different topic.

One week you would learn about Judy Garland’s importance to the gay rights movement. The next week you would learn about Isabella Rosellini’s life in the 1990s.

Nowadays “You Must Remember This” is devoted to telling longer stories.

Multiple episodes are devoted to the history of the blacklist or the rise and fall of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

One of the most popular seasons focused on Charles Manson’s connections to the entertainment industry.

This focus on telling a story across multiple episodes gives Longworth the time to deliver the amount of information that these topics deserve.

Longworth researches, edits and narrates every episode. Her scripts are distinguished by her excellent eye for minute, idiosyncratic details.

It would be enough to note that MGM boss Louis B. Mayer made Garland wear nasal prosthetics to

“The Wizard of Oz” is one movie that listeners of “You Must Remember This” will view differently.

make her more conventionally attractive, which contributed to her feelings of undesirability. However, what makes me remember that detail months after listening to the episode is Mayer called the actress “my little hunchback.”

The editing in this podcast is excellent. Longworth makes great use of archival audio from older films and interviews to give us an idea of her subjects.

Guest stars, such as the underrated Noah Segan and director Rian Johnson, give excellent performances as Howard Hughes and John Huston. Longworth is the perfect host for this podcast.

Horoscope

Her light voice is adept at rapidly conveying serious historical information and more fun details about her subjects.

I still smile when I think about her amusing but entirely accurate impression of an Old Hollywood actress named Kay Francis.

“You Must Remember This” is very entertaining, but it does not shy away from serious issues. It often deals with subjects such as gender or race. The events, such as her season on the practice of blacklisting, she covers have relevant lessons for our time.

One of my favorite episodes is an early one about

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6 — Slow down, and take time to contemplate your next move. Gathering with loved ones is highly recommended. Share photos and memories. Remember what’s really important.

Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is an 8 — Take on new responsibility, and your status rises. Things may not go as planned. Fact and belief clash.

Secure the ground taken with help from friends.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) — Today is a 7 — Changes necessitate budget revisions. Mull it over.

Consider your partner’s view when making decisions. Stand up for what’s right. Physical exercise reduces stress.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is an 8 — Adjust to changes with a group effort. Remain flexible, and assume new responsibility. Invite participation. Keep the project’s vision in mind. Work out details together.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is an 8 — Travel is a distinct possibility. You’re spurred to motion; virtually or physically, either works. You’re making a good impression. Business may interfere with romance.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Today is an 8 — Spend time with someone attractive. Avoid silly arguments. Let go of the small stuff, and stay in communication. Friendship and love are more important.

BLISS

HARRY BLISS

Ida Lupino, an actress who later became one of the few American female directors in the late 1940s and 1950s.

Longworth vividly covers every facet of her life.

She makes you want to see Lupino’s films, such as “The Hitch-Hiker” and “The Bigamist.”

“You Must Remember This” returns Jan. 31. Until then you can listen to all of the episodes on iTunes. Every single one of them is entertaining and informative.

As Longworth would say, “Join us, won’t you?”

Jesse Pasternack jpastern@indiana.edu @jessepasternack

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 9 — Dig into a big job, and take care with the details. Use your imagination. Flex your artistic muscles. Learn from mistakes.

Emotional energy drives you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7 — Take time out for fun with friends and family. Relaxation leads to romance. Your sympathy calms another’s anxiety. Soothe and comfort the ones you love.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 6 — Family matters have your focus. Collaborate on a project.

Don’t forget an important job.

Clean closets, drawers and attics.

Find support from far away.

» MAYER

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 inimitable recording showcases Mayer in a raw state of emotion, rather than “intellectualizing” the emotion, as is his wonted approach to vocals. “What you hear on the song is the original take,” he told Rolling Stone.

“I couldn’t sing the vocals again if I tried.”

Final thoughts “The Search For Everything” isn’t an abstract title. It’s an apt label for a raw, genuine endeavor by a man striving to make his mark as an artist, but for Mayer, who already won a Grammy for his vocal performance in “Continuum,” the bar is set, and it is in the clouds.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is an 8 — Practice your creative skills. Don’t gamble with an upcoming deadline. Edit your words carefully and get done early.

Share and publish your strongest work.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is an 8 — Launch a personal venture. Not everyone will like it. New ideas don’t always work.

Submissions will be reviewed and selections will be made by the editor-in-chief.

Difficulty Rating:

After years of experimenting outside the realm of mainstream music with albums such as “Born and Raised” and “Paradise Valley,” Mayer has returned to the commercial stage equipped with an arsenal of influences he hopes will add “that much more depth” to his records.

“Search” represents his culmination as an artist. It’s an aspiring greatest hits album, with Mayer making up the hits as he goes.

Ultimately “The Search For Everything” represents an artist putting himself at stake, and, much like the search for everything, it is both beautiful and terrifying.

I agree to join Mayer on his search.

I hope you’ll join me.
