IU starts season at Stanford By Andrew Vailliencourt availlie@indiana.edu | @AndrewVcourt

Last season for IU ended in heartbreak. The national title hopes of the No. 4 national seed Hoosiers were over in one pitch when Stanford shortstop Tommy Edman hit a home run to give the Cardinal the series. Then-sophomore Scott Effross threw the final pitch of the 2014 season and will throw the first pitch of the 2015 season Friday when the Hoosiers travel to Stanford. Armed with a new coaching staff led by IU Coach Chris Lemonis, the Hoosiers are ready to go. “We are ready,” Lemonis said. “The winter has been great in terms of the weather, we don’t have any snow on the ground, and we’ve been outside. I’m worried we’re almost over ready because we are so ready to play someone else.” Though the loss to end last season still stings, players said they aren’t letting it get in the way of their normal preparation. “We’re not really looking too much on the past,” Effross said. “It’s definitely in the back of our minds from the guys that were here, but this is a new team, a completely new coaching staff, so we’re really not focused on last year.” Effross will be followed by junior Christian Morris on Saturday and sophomore Jake Kelzer on Sunday. Effross split time last season as the team’s closer, filling in for IU’s all-time saves leader Ryan Halstead, who is back and healthy for his fifth year. Effross finished the year with a 1.98 ERA and said he was excited to move into the starting rotation. Morris was the team’s No. 2 starter last season behind Joey DeNato and posted a 2.04 ERA with a 6-3 record. Kelzer was drafted by the New York Yankees in June but decided to return to school, where he will make the move from the bullpen to the starting rotation. Stanford will start sophomore Cal Quantrill, senior John Hochstatter and junior Logan James. “They have a great pitching staff,” Lemonis said. “They’re known for

Models hit the runway last night in the Indiana Memorial Union’s Alumni Hall, but rather than adorning them with lavish furs or fine silks, designers draped their models in a particularly unconventional material: condoms. Hosted by the Nu Chapter of Eta Sigma Gamma, a national professional health science honorary organization, this year’s Condom Fashion Show piqued the interest of several students, beginning the show with a full house. Special guests JuJubee and Sasha Belle, contestants from the popular television show, RuPaul’s Drag Race, helped to

Argentina Perón scanned the crowd. “Alright, I need some volunteers,” said Perón, the featured drag queen in the Condom Fashion Show on Thursday in Alumni Hall. Perón selected four people from the crowd with the help of the previous performer, Titanium Perón. Once on stage, each was given a condom and a scale model to put it on. “The first thing you’re going to do is check the expiration date,” Perón said. “Is it expired? Does it look like it’s been sitting in his wallet for the last 10 years?” With a humorous attitude and no
