“Time to stand up” Students share poems, celebrate Black History Month in daylong event

Kim Smith walked onto the stage.

She recalled aloud the first time she listened to a recording of herself speaking before an audience about her experience as a black person in the United States. In the recording, her voice shook and pitched.

“I used to hate the way my voice sounds,” said Smith, a senior at Bloomington High School North.

“But then I realized my voice pitched because I was angry and my voice shook because I was upset.”

When Smith spoke at the African-American High School Read-In at the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center yesterday, her voice still shook.

“You will not kick me out of my own country, you will not take away

my land, and you will not tell my own brothers and sisters they do not deserve water to live,” Smith said in reference to President Trump.

A chorus of “mhms,” “yeahs” and “come ons” came from the audience.

Smith is one of the high school students from Bloomington High School North, Bloomington High School South and the Bloomington Graduation School who commemorated the beginning of Black History Month on Monday with the 15th annual African-American Read-In of literature and original writing at the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center.

Students shared poems or passages from black authors such as Langston Hughes and Maya Angelou. Others, like Smith, shared original works about their experience as black people in America.

Stephanie Power-Carter,

associate professor of literacy, culture and language education at IU, said the read-in presents a way to educate and for students to express themselves freely in their own space.

The read-in was an all-day event for the student attendees, who arrived at 11 a.m. for the read-in, had lunch at the Neal-Marshall Center Black Culture Center and attended a precollege session with the IU Office of Admissions.

Also, every student attendee and school library received a book written by an African-American author, Power-Carter said. This year the books given out included “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks,” “Reach: 40 Black Men Speak on Living, Leading, and Succeeding,” “Hidden Figures,” “Courage to Soar” and “Rest in Power: The

Faculty on the fifth, sixth and seventh floors of Ballantine came to work Monday to find their doors and bulletin boards covered with white nationalist, or “alt-right,” posters for a group known as “Identity Evropa.”

Stephanie Huezo, a Ph.D. student in Latin American history, said she came into work in Latino studies early and at first thought the posters were a joke. Then she said she saw they were pasted down the entire floor.

“Almost every professor’s office had one,” Huezo said.

Idenitity Evropa is not a registered IU student organization. The group had posters featuring Greek statues and captions below that said “Our future belongs to us” and “Let’s become great again.”

According to its website, Identity Evropa is a group of Euro-centric people who feel their culture is under attack.

“In a time when every other people are asserting their identity, without action, we will have no chance to resist our dispossession,” according to Evropa’s description.

Sylvia Martínez, the director of the Latino studies program, said she has submitted a report to IU administration but she is still trying to process how something like this could happen.

“I don’t have words yet,” Martínez said.

Huezo said Latino Studies has always felt like a safe place for her but now she doesn’t know what to do.

“This is my second home,” Huezo said. “I feel safe there.”

Huezo’s organization, the Latino Graduate Student Association, has already issued a statement asking students to remain calm after what they have deemed “targeting.”

SOFTBALL

If 2016 was viewed as a bounceback season for IU softball, 2017 is expected to be the season it returns to the national stage.

“At this point, I’m expecting regionals and super regionals,” sophomore pitcher Emily Kirk said. “We are so close-knit that I think we can do some really great things this season.”

After a season with the most overall wins — 29 — since 2012, optimism is high for IU. The Hoosiers are also looking to continue their improvement in conference play after going 10-13 in the Big Ten last season. In the three seasons prior to 2016, IU failed to win more than seven conference games in each season.

IU finished last season on a high note by defeating Wisconsin in the opening round of the Big Ten Tournament. Despite losing to Michigan in the next round, the win over Wisconsin marked IU’s first win in the conference tournament since 2006.

While IU hasn’t qualified for the NCAA Tournament since 2011, Kirk said she believes the team has grown during the offseason and cites team cohesiveness as a big part of it.

“We’ve gotten to where we can just trust each other and that’s absolutely critical,” Kirk said.

For the fifth straight season, the team’s first test will come in Tempe, Arizona, as part of

said. “It’s going to be a challenge right out of the gate, but I look forward to it.”

The Hoosiers will face three teams, including IU’s first opponent, No. 24 Fresno State, that qualified for last season’s NCAA Tournament in the Kajikawa Classic.

The Owen County man charged with stealing 15-month-old Shaylyn Ammerman from her crib last March before raping and killing her pleaded guilty in an unscheduled hearing Friday to charges of murder and kidnapping.

Kyle Joseph Parker, 23, appeared in court last week with his attorney, Jacob Fish, and provided factual basis for the murder and kidnapping Kyle Parker charges — just two of a litany Parker is currently facing. Fish and Owen County prosecutor Donald VanDerMoere II are negotiating a plea deal, which is under review by Judge Lori Quillen.

Fish confirmed he and VanDerMoere are negotiating the deal and had no further comment. VanDerMoere had previously said he would seek life in prison without parole for Parker.

On March 23, the night she was abducted from her grandmother’s house, Shaylyn was asleep in her crib, dressed in a onesie with owls on it, with her pacifier and Winnie the Pooh blanket. Parker had been invited over to the house by Shaylyn’s uncle, Adam Ammerman, according

Outdoor practice time is usually at a premium for the Hoosiers in preparation for these tournaments, due to the weather

Party representatives visit IU Republicans

By Cody Thompson Comthomp@umail.iu.edu @CodyMThompson

State representatives from the Indiana Republican Party spoke with students from IU College Republicans Monday evening.

The event “Meet State Rep. Peggy Mayfield!” took place at 7 p.m. Monday in the Godfrey Graduate and Executive Education Center in the Kelley School of Business. Speakers were executive director of strategic communications and talent development of the Indiana Republican Party Pete Seat and State Representative Peggy Mayfield, R-District 60.

“This gives us a wide perspective on what’s happening at the state level in the Republican party,” Chairwoman of IU College Republicans Reagan Kurk said.

After saying the Pledge of Allegiance, Seat was the first to speak because Mayfield had to stay in Indianapolis to watch a vote on a proposed

law longer than she had expected.

Seat began his speech by explaining his position in the party and began to address the changing policies under Indiana’s new governor, Eric Holcomb.

One new policy will be monitoring Sen. Joe Donnelly’s, D-Indiana, activities in Washington D.C., he said.

“He’s a completely different person when he’s there in the swampland than he is in the great Hoosier state of Indiana,” Seat said.

Seat talked to the students about the Republican Party’s interest in offering young students internships to bring in their creative ideas.

He said they want to have training seminars across the state.

“You guys are creative,” he said. “You’re young, and you have great ideas.”

Before she arrived, students spoke in murmurs to one another about politics and the Super Bowl.

Their voices stopped when

Mayfield entered the room.

She apologized for being late. Rather than beginning her speech by lecturing to the students, she opened it up immediately to questions.

“Are you proposing any bills anytime soon?” someone asked.

“I am currently working on about seven or eight right now,” Mayfield replied.

She said one of her priorities this year is offering health coverage to police reserve officers. She explained that these officers are volunteers who help at departments when they are needed. It’s often an officer at one department helping another.

She said, as of now, there is no financial coverage for them if they are hurt on the job. Volunteer firefighters are given that coverage, she said.

“I’m just trying to protect the people who are working for free,” Mayfield said.

She also answered questions about Tesla, buying alcohol on Sundays and the gas tax.

Pete Seat shares his experiences with IU students Monday in Hodge Hall. Seat is the executive director of strategic communications and talent development for Indiana GOP.

She spoke about the complications regarding the proposed Tesla law. She said the question about alcohol was complicated because there were different rules for

liquor stores and stores like Walmart. She discussed a potential 10 cent increase in gas taxes and explained the difference between gas taxes and sales tax on gas.

The event was also supposed to include State Treasurer Kelly Mitchell, but she was forced to return quickly to Indianapolis before she arrived.

Pakistani-Americans give thoughts MoneySmarts on Trump’s recent executive order program to help financial literacy

By Larmie Sanyon lsanyon@indiana.edu @DaGreatestSanyn

Senior Aman Ahmed is a health care management and policy major. He’s also a Pakistani-American, and a Muslim. He does not support generalizing whole groups of people because he said he understands the dangers of history repeating itself.

“Look what happened to the Japanese in the ‘40s,” Ahmed said. “They were generalizations. Look at the Jews in Nazi Germany. There was a huge generalization there.”

Another Pakistani-American Muslim, who requested anonymity for this story, studies marketing in the Kelley School of Business. He, too, likes to think of himself like any other student.

“We believe in something bigger than us,” he said. “We pray. We have our customs and traditions. At the core of it, we are peaceful.”

These two students, who

identify as Muslims but are non-practicing, believe they represent a faction of American Muslims who are ignored by the public. They are not terrorists, nor are they refugees.

They’re just college kids.

The anonymous student said it’s important for the United States and the rest of the non-Islamic world to understand the diversity of Muslims. It is not entirely accurate to think of Muslims as one people. He said there are more than a billion Muslims in the world and that most of them are good people but a few bad ones have ruined it for the rest.

He also said he is against the generalizations people make about Islam, particularly the conflation of religious practice and geography. He has lived in six Middle Eastern and North African countries -Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Algeria. Wherever he went, he met Muslims with different religious

traditions.

Ahmed agreed and said the U.S. has a history of using a specific race, religion or ethnicity as a scapegoat. Although Pakistan was spared from the list of banned countries, the anonymous student said he understood it was possible that Pakistan could be next.

“If you ask any Pakistani in the country, he will be the first to tell you we have our own troubles,” he said. “To place a travel ban would be unfair.

I know good people at home who want to come here, be productive and contribute to society.”

He pointed out that diversity goes both ways.

“I went to Nashville this weekend, and there were a lot of Trump supporters there,” he said. “It was interesting.

I was in a bar, and the band shouted ‘Trump’ out before their set.”

He said it was interesting because, in the IU liberal bubble, it can be hard to find

Faith services address order, page 7 Bloomington Muslims, Christians and Jews look to faith for guidance

Trump supporters. Therefore, it can be hard to bridge political and social gaps through understanding. He said it is important to understand each other because it’s one of the only ways toward progress.

Ahmed said he agreed.

“The dangers are we create an ignorant mindset for people to follow,” Ahmed said. “If people took time out of their day to meet other races I think that would stop generalizations.”

Ahmed said he also knows immigrants are, for the most part, innocent and wellmeaning people. His grandmother was a refugee from India to Pakistan, and his parents moved to the U.S. to forge a new future for their families.

He said it’s unsettling to see families just like his own being marginalized.

The IU Office of Financial Literacy and its program, MoneySmarts, are working to develop a new platform through which students can access information and make educated decisions regarding their finances and education.

Through the efforts of the MoneySmarts program, IU has been able to reduce almost $100 million of student loan debt, a press release from IU Newsroom said. The new platform, called MoneySmarts U, was designed to produce more information regarding financial literacy that is accessible to all students.

Juniors and seniors in high school, undergraduate and graduate college students, and recently graduated alumni will all be able to access the program.

“It’s going to teach you the basics of good financial topics,” said Phil Schuman, director of financial literacy at IU. A partnership between the Office of Financial Literacy and Peter Dunn has helped produce this platform. According to the press release, Dunn is considered an expert on financial wellness. The available information will be arranged in ways most relevant for students based on where they are in their careers, Schuman said.

“We don’t expect you to be there for 60 minutes,” he said. “Go on there for five to 10 minutes, and then go on your merry way.”

According to the press release, there will be seven instructional modules released every year for three years, with each module being about 45 minutes to an hour in length. The platform will have about 80 videos for students to watch and interactive tools like calculators, downloads and other exercises for them to use, Schuman said.

“We’re trying to address the different types of student learners that we have,”

“These courses cover everything from being a junior and senior in high school all the way to a recent grad. And the goal in all of this is to make sure people get a great education with as little debt as possible.”

Peter Dunn, IU director of financial literacy

he said.

Schuman described the platform’s key feature as being a just-in-time element, allowing students to use the information, accessible through Canvas, whenever they need it, instead of delivering all of it in one large chunk.

“This is not something that we expect students to go in and digest it all at once,” Schuman said. “A, because it would be boring, and, B, because it wouldn’t stick with them.”

The MoneySmarts U Score is one aspect of the platform that is still in the works. This feature will allow the user to progress from the beginning of the program to the end, while entering some personal information, to indicate how good the user’s financial standing is.

“Based on certain metrics, and we haven’t figured it all out, it will tell you how you’re doing and give recommendations of how you can better yourself from where you are,” Schuman said.

The first video, released Jan. 20, for the program features Schuman and Dunn introducing the platform’s courses and the information students can gain from it.

“These courses cover everything from being a junior and senior in high school all the way to a recent grad,” Dunn said in the video.

“And the goal in all of this is to make sure people get a great education with as little debt as possible.”

Students teach Uzbek to children

By Christine Fernando ctfernan@indiana.edu @christinetfern

One child hid under the chairs and waved at his mother while another dipped his hat over his head and began to walk around the room with hands outstretched like a zombie.

However, when the Bridges language instructor walked in, the children sat down in a circle.

“How many of you are ready to learn?” Suriati Abas said to the class.

Hands shot up.

The class was a part of the Bridges program, which works with IU to provide language and culture classes for children ages 4 and above. The program offered its second Uzbek class Monday for children at the Monroe County Public Library.

During the class, children played Simon Says and counted fish and turtles. By the end of the class, they were all able to introduce themselves and count to five in Uzbek.

Parent Enabah Shahrani said she brought her halfUzbek children to the class so they would stay in touch with their heritage.

Only 26,000 Uzbeks live in the United States, according to the Joshua Project, an organization that studies

ethnic groups around the world.

“As they grow up in America, it is so easy to lose that language and heritage,” Shahrani said. “Especially with an uncommon language like Uzbek, children are more likely to lose it.”

Abas said Bridges focuses on instructing children in more uncommon languages. Bridges offers Uzbek, along with Chinese, Russian and Turkish because they are often overlooked by other institutions.

“These languages, Uzbek especially, don’t receive the attention that others

do,” Abas said. “I think it’s important we offer them so that children don’t lose parts of their heritage and history and identity.”

IU is one of the few universities in the country with an Uzbek program, according to the Department of Inner Asian and Uralic National Resource Center’s website. IU offers beginner through advanced classes.

While holding onto heritage is important, Uzbek instructor Madina Alimova said it is common for younger children to push away their own language while growing up in a different

country. As a result, younger children can at times be more difficult to teach.

“We just have to push them a bit because they don’t realize how important it is to learn new languages until they’re older,” Alimova said. “But I’m sure they’d be pretty appreciative then.”

Abas said Bridges targets these difficulties in engaging younger children by using interactive and communicative methods.

“The children learn through play,” Abas said.

“We play games and sing songs and use more visual types of learning. You will

never see the children sitting at desks and writing.”

Through these methods, Abas said she hopes to help children improve their memories and abilities to learn and deconstruct language.

“Learning languages teaches you how to think,” she said. “When you deconstruct a language, it improves you understanding in every aspect of learning.”

She said these classes will also help children expand their understanding of the world and learn about culture by developing language skills. This is especially important to imbue in children while they are young.

“Learning a new language shapes the way you think about things,” Abas said. “But it also changes your worldview and allows you to understand cultures, which forms a mutual respect between cultures.”

Mutual understanding and respect for other cultures in especially important in our changing world, Uzbek instructor Shahlo Seidmedova said.

“Global diversity is really spreading,” she said. “You can no longer expect to stay in your own bubble and live in a homogenous society.

As cultures mix, we need to understand and respect one another.”

Since the weekend, President Trump has been denounced by Kanye West and Martellus Bennett, the New England Patriots’ tight end.

The president also made polarizing statements on Twitter and at a press conference.

Here’s a rundown of what happened and why it matters.

Kanye West deletes tweets defending Trump meeting West deleted tweets defending his December meeting with Trump sometime between Sunday night and Monday morning, according to CNN. West met him at Trump Tower to dsicuss bullying, supporting teachers, modernizing curriculums and violence in Chicago, West tweeted.

After the meeting, West also tweeted a picture of a signed copy of TIME’s “Person of the Year” issue with Trump on the cover. This tweet has also been deleted.

New England Patriots’ tight end to skip White House visit Bennett told reporters af-

ter the Patriots’ Super Bowl win Sunday he will not accompany his teammates to the White House to be honored by Trump later this year.

“I am not going to go,” he said. “I can elaborate later on in life. Right now I am just trying to enjoy this. If you want to know how I feel about it, just follow me on Twitter.”

Bennett advocates for the Black Lives Matter movement and denounced West on Twitter for meeting with Trump.

Bennett told reporters he is “not really worried” about backlash from skipping the White House meeting and the team avoids talking politics in the locker room.

Trump announced the day before the general election that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Coach Bill Belichick were supporting his campaign, according to CNN. Brady’s wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen, denied the reports on social media.

Trump tweets “any negative polls are fake news” Trump tweeted Monday, “Any negative polls are fake news, just like the CNN, ABC, NBC polls in the election.

Sorry, people want border security and extreme vetting.”

This was in response to a CNN/ORC poll found 6 in 10 people opposed Trump’s wall on the Mexican border and 53 percent of respondents said they opposed Trump’s immigration executive order,

Trump promises strong support for NATO Trump vowed to support NATO Monday at United States Central Command headquarters in Florida.

“We strongly support NATO,” Trump said. “We only ask that all of the NATO members make their full and proper financial contributions to the NATO alliance, which many of them have not been doing. Many of them have not been even close, and they have to do that.”

Trump made contradictory comments regarding NATO throughout his campaign. He called NATO membership obsolete and ill-prepared to confront modern-day threats, according to CNN. However, his comments Monday signified he would maintain support of U.S. membership and push other countries to meet the budget requirements of spending 2 percent of their GDP on defense.

Sura Gail Tala first became an activist when she protested the Vietnam War in 1969. Today she continues to protest, but now it is against President Trump’s administration. She shared advice on activism at a Bloomington Peace Action Coalition meeting.

“Showing up is the thing,” she said. “That’s the beginning.”

Participants at Monday’s Bloomington Peace Action Coalition “Organize and Speak Out!” meeting at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington provided an opportunity for experienced activists and people who had never advocated before to learn how to respond to the Trump administration.

The meeting involved a discussion of strategies to lobby effectively and get a message out to politicians.

The members shared ways to get involved, stay informed and contact representatives.

This needs to be the progressive movement’s “Tea Party” phase and have a lasting effect on Congress, activist David Keppel said, referring to the conservative group’s influence on Republicans.

“One thing we are learning is to put pressure on members of Congress,” Keppel said. “We’re moving to the let’s go to the street phase to putting real pressure on Congress.”

The event also included discussion of Bloomington Peace Coalition’s upcoming meeting with an aide of Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Indiana, in Indianapolis.

Although their lobbying meetings generally focus on single issues, Keppel said the upcoming meeting will cover a wide variety of topics, including immigration, climate change, foreign affairs, nuclear weapons and other Trump administration policies.

“The shock and awe in which this administration has come in has made it impossible to lobby just on one thing,” Keppel said.

One of Donnelly’s weakest points has been with climate and the environment, Keppel said, so they plan to address the issue in their meeting with his aide.

“We don’t get two planets to live on,” he said.

Throughout Tala’s years as an activist, she has learned that calling people and sending postcards are among the most effective ways to get politicians to listen to constituents, she said.

Protesting in the streets is just the beginning.

Tala said she advises people to use their own postcards, rather than postcards with a pre-written message, like the official Women’s March stationary.

Otherwise, they might be quickly discarded.

Keppel also gave people advice on the most effective ways to reach out to Donnelly and Sen. Todd Young, R-Indiana.

He recommended calling their Indianapolis offices instead of their Washington, D.C., offices.

Bloomington Peace Action Coalition also has plans to reach out to more people by improving their website, graphic designer David Orr said.

They are laying a foundation to make themselves more visible and provide resources for other progressive organizations, he said.

Keppel said he wants more young people to join Bloomington Peace Action Coalition, and he hopes the improved website will help accomplish this.

“If you have some energy, sign up and add your political insights into what we’re doing,” he said.

ON YOUR MIND

Editors Dylan Moore and Zack Chambers opinion@idsnews.com

EDITORIAL BOARD

Lessons from the culture of football Culture has become quite the buzzword in modern society, especially in the business world.

“Company culture” has become a concept we are used to hearing about and trained to tune out.

Furthermore, the word gets thrown around endlessly in global conversations with terms such as “multicultural,” “culture shock” and “cultural appropriation.”

Like all buzzwords, culture is popular for a reason. The cultures we are part of and buy into are some of the most powerful influences on our beliefs, thoughts and actions.

The Super Bowl, which aired Sunday, gets on average 100 million viewers a year. The average NFL game gets 20 million viewers, an increase of 500% for the Super Bowl.

So many people decide to not only spend their time not only watching the Super Bowl, but also consuming outrageous amounts of food and alcohol with large groups of people late into the night before they wake up to go to work or school?

The Super Bowl creates a widespread and intense culture, and much of America decides to buy in.

According to MerriamWebster, culture is, “The set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution or organization.” This seems to imply that only formal organizations can have culture, but I would venture to claim that any group of people with shared attitudes, values, goals and practices counts as an organization.

The Super Bowl, then, is effectively creating a culture and 100 million or so people are buying into it.

When people decide to accept this culture, it has a significant impact on their emotions and actions.

People, even the ones who have watched very little football all year, become passionate about one team beating another. They get into arguments with their friends and cheat on their diets and spend several hours of their night

STEVEN REINOEHL is a sophomore in business.

watching a game they may not even know the rules to.

The people who follow the NFL closely have bought in to the culture even more intensely than the rest of America.

Fans of the teams playing will feel intense happiness or sadness based on how a team of people they have probably never met do at a game that determines nothing more than what team is “the best” for that particular season.

It has no physical impact on the fans, but a Falcons fan will most likely have a horrible rest of the week because of Sunday night’s result.

Culture clearly has a huge affect on us. Being part of a culture, especially one as broad and intense as that of an NFL team or the Super Bowl, fulfills our most innate desire to be included in something bigger than ourselves.

Studies have even been done that show fans of sports teams are less likely to be depressed and have higher self-esteem.

Cultures can even influence us when we are performing an action that reminds us of them. A study from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology showed that Chinese students who are bilingual and bicultural tend to revert to more of the cultural characteristics of China when they were spoken to in Chinese than when they were spoken to in another language.

Cultures undeniably have a major influence in our lives.

They can determine our attitudes, the decisions we make and even our self-esteem.

Remember the old maxim about choosing your friends wisely, as they are an influence you in many ways, some of which you may not even be aware of. Similarly, be aware of the cultures you allow yourself to be part of, and notice how they affect your body and your mind. sbreinoe@umail.iu.edu

She is nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for the film “Fences.” For Best Actor in a Supporting Role, Mahershala Ali for “Moonlight” seems an early favorite, though don’t be surprised if Jeff Bridges wins for “Hell of High Water,” the man has an unmatched popularity in Hollywood and shines in the role. At this point, Best Actress in a Leading Role is a fight between Emma Stone for “La La Land” or Isabelle

Huppert for “Elle,” though expect Huppert to walk away with the trophy. Best Picture increasingly appears a contest between “La La Land” and “Moonlight.”

The evening’s real contest will be for Best Actor in a Leading Role, with Casey Affleck for “Manchester by the Sea” battling Denzel Washington for “Fences.”

Though Affleck won the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama, Washington upset him at the Screen Actors Guild awards. Both men are excellent actors, but a win for Washington would propel him to an exclusive list of those with three Oscars for acting, a list whose ranks include Jack Nicholson, Katherine Hepburn, Daniel DayLewis, Meryl Streep, Ingrid Bergman and Walter Brennan. Additionally, Washington would be the first person of color to win three Oscars for acting.

Some may dislike that

the Academy Awards seem a venue for settling political scores, thus ignoring who truly was the “best actor” of the year.

This sentiment ignores not only the Oscars’ long history of conciliatory and politically-motivated choices, but its history of getting its choices embarrassingly wrong.

Alfred Hitchcock or Stanley Kubrick, for instance, never won Best Director. “Forrest Gump” beat “Pulp Fiction” for Best Picture in 1994. “Network” lost Best Picture and Best Director to “Rocky” in 1976. “Dances with Wolves” beat “Goodfellas” for Best Picture in 1990.

Marlon Brando, despite being in the film for 30 minutes, won Best Actor for “The Godfather” even though Al Pacino was its real leading man. Pacino would never win an Oscar until 1992’s “Scent of a Woman,” though many would argue that Denzel Washington had out-

shined him in “Malcom X.” Martin Scorsese won Best Director for “The Departed” even though it’s nowhere near being his best film. The list goes on.

For film buffs and aspiring directors, the famous movies with their enormous budgets can seem daunting.

But don’t forget that even local college-aged kids can break into the film industry on the cheap. Two IU student filmmakers, TJ Jaeger and Hunter Huddleston, sent their short film “Lost Dog” to the 2017 Cannes International Film Festival in France. To their shock, the film, with its $30 budget, was one of five selected for best cinematography.

As the IDS reported, “We want future kids to say, ‘I want to go to IU. I want to be a filmmaker there,’” Jaeger said.

“We want to show people that you don’t have to go to New York, you don’t have to go to LA to go to film school.”

GETTING IN THE GROVE

ON YOUR MIND

Budweiser reminds of our values

Take a break from the culture war

I’m not much of a football fan; I haven’t even been to an IU football game yet. I have a hard time even getting excited about the halftime show.

I do, however, harbor a soft spot in my heart for Super Bowl commercials. They’re so American: a celebration of our capitalistic, materialistic culture, viewed through the backdrop of sports and the lens of clever humor, heart wrenching poignancy and high-production value sets.

To be quite honest, I still get teary-eyed thinking about that Budweiser Super Bowl commercial from a few years back. You know, the one where the Labrador Retriever puppy somehow manages to get lost from his farm then, through a whirlwind of events, is saved from some nasty wolves by the Budweiser Clydesdales from his farm and returns home with them. That commercial is a true cinematic masterpiece.

I really liked this year’s Budweiser commercial, too, but for different reasons. Entitled “Born the Hard Way,” it tells the story of Adolphus Busch, the German immigrant who later became the co-founder of

Anheuser-Busch.

Granted, the commercial paints a highly fictionalized version of Busch’s story. It shows him as a poor immigrant, fighting his way first through customs, then across the country to St. Louis, which was to become the home of Anheuser-Busch breweries.

In reality, Busch had money before crossing the Atlantic. But that’s a minute detail, less important than the overarching picture.

America is nothing if not a country of immigrants, and this commercial celebrates the struggle and the thousandsmile-long journey most of our ancestors endured to make a life for themselves here.

At one point in the ad, a man on the street yells at Busch, “You’re not wanted here!” Sadly, anti-immigrant sentiment is nearly as American as immigration is; in the 1850s when Busch immigrated here, anti-German and antiIrish xenophobia ran rampant through our country.

Which brings me to my next point: the #BoycottBudweiser hashtag circulating Twitter calling for protest of

this ad. Some people, it seems, are upset that Budweiser is making such an pro-immigrant statement in the wake of controversy over President Trump’s immigration ban.

However, this commercial has in fact been in production for more than eight months now, so all of the uproar about it being “liberal propaganda” over Trump’s recent order is hardly warranted.

I find the true story behind the ad more compelling than the narrative taking over social media.

Why? Well, it means the writers of the ad brainstormed tons of ideas, and what resulted was something they felt — if we infer from the ad — was at the heart of their company: immigration, a drive to succeed and the exceptionalism that results from those two things.

In other words, America.

More than 100 million people were reminded of this as they watched the Super Bowl on Sunday night. acgroove@umail.iu.edu

I watched the Super Bowl this weekend with a notebook close by, fully intending to jot down any cultural critiques I could think of for this column. But as I watched, I felt the life draining out of me, and not just because I had to look at Tom Brady’s ugly mug for more than a split second.

All day, all weekend — hell, all year — I’ve been meticulously critiquing current events from a political perspective. And let me tell you, I am exhausted. So I took a break from political awareness. I turned off the Super Bowl. I put on both a face mask and “The Mask of Zorro” and let the combination of soothing aloe skincare and beautiful Antonio Banderas rejuvenate my tired mind and body.

Like so many people around the country, the results of the recent presidential election have forced me into a position of activism that I never saw myself in. But in times of strife, civic duties for the average citizen are heightened. Political debates, protests and

cultural critique are now an everyday part of my life.

I try my best to embrace this new position of heightened activism wholeheartedly. I protest, I debate, I write political columns and twice daily I scroll through a never-ending feed of world news on my phone.

It seems that politics has permeated every aspect of my life. It feels as though there is no part of my day in which I am not fighting for or against something. At all times, I must be on the tips of my mental toes, ready to articulate a critique or praise.

Now, don’t get me wrong, in the long fight ahead for comprehensive human rights, the continued involvement of every person is paramount. But how can I be of any help if I am exhausted? How can any of us contribute if we work ourselves past the point of our mental or physical thresholds?

Here’s where Antonio Banderas comes in. For me, Antonio Banderas is the ultimate break from reality. I

fantasize about how his voice would sound reading our wedding vows, how fun it would be to brush his hair, and how hard he would laugh if I made fun of his Nasonex bee commercials.

In other words, he gives me a mental break — a moment to pursue non-political thoughts In this political climate, allowing myself these small breaks from reality has become more important than ever. If I neglect myself, inevitably there will come a moment where I’ll fall apart. And considering the state of human rights in this country, I’m not sure any of us can afford to have a nervous breakdown. Activism is highly important right now. But when your mind begs you to practice self care and take a break, don’t be afraid to listen. Chances are you’ll come back to the fight stronger than ever. rjdague@indiana.edu

Junior Shayna Gamm, a transfer from Lake Land College, and freshman Bella Norton will each see time at the position during the tournament, Gardner said.

“It’s just a matter of who’s going to step up once we start playing other teams.”

Junior outfielder Rebecca Blitz has been the team’s leadoff batter for the past two seasons and noted a change in the team’s demeanor from her first years at IU. “We are definitely young, but we have a lot of maturity as well,” Blitz said.

“Everyone on the field is capable of producing, and I think that’s kind of different from the past.”

Like her teammates and Gardner, Blitz said she feels this year’s team can build on the successes of last season.

Shaylyn’s grandmother told police she’d found Parker drunk, sitting in a rocking chair and cradling Shaylyn earlier that day.

Around 3 or 4 a.m., Adam awoke to the sound of the front door slamming. He got up and opened a window.

Adam yelled at Parker to say goodbye, but Parker just continued walking. Adam noticed Parker was carrying a bulky object and told police

for groups like hers who feel threatened.

Mientzi Martinez-Rivera, one of Huezo’s colleagues, said she actually had one of her own posters torn down.

Her poster, “We the People,” featured a young Latina woman with a rose in her hair, underscored with the phrase “defend dignity.”

At first she was confused and thought it was a joke, but then she realized someone

After seeing Shaylyn’s empty crib at 8:30 the next morning, her family members called the police and prompted a massive search effort for the missing toddler involving the FBI, the Indiana State Police, local police forces and other agencies.

Parker lied about his involvement in early encounters with police. At first, Parker said he knew nothing about Shaylyn’s disappearance and he had decided to leave that night because he didn’t feel like staying over with Adam.

Later, Parker said Adam had

killed Shaylyn and had asked him to help dispose of the body. He told police where to find her, lying bare beside a tree by the banks of the White River in Gosport, Indiana. A polygraph test later showed neither Adam Ammerman nor Justin Ammerman had any involvement in Shaylyn’s death.

After investigators confronted Parker again, he admitted what he had done.

He took the girl from her crib and drove toward Gosport in the early hours of the morning, according to court documents. Sometime on the drive, Parker pulled over and allegedly raped her in the front seat of his Pontiac

Grand Am. She was still alive when it happened.

Using some type of cloth he had in his car, Parker smothered Shaylyn to death.

Before he left her by the river, he cleaned her body and his own with bleach. Parker said it was an effort to destroy DNA evidence and avoid being charged. Parker told police he also burned her belongings — the onesie and the Winnie the Pooh blanket.

Since last March, Parker has been held at the Owen County Jail without bail. At one point, he was placed on suicide watch.

If Quillen accepts the deal, Parker will be sentenced at 9 a.m. Feb. 27.

TRUMP’S EXECUTIVE ORDERS

EMILY MILES | IDS

The remaining members and visitors laugh as they clean up after the Islamic Center of Bloomington community potluck Friday night. Executive Board President Ashraf Abdelhafez said many groups have reached out since the executive order was signed a week earlier.

Prayer follows order He created us from different tribes so we can know one another. This business of racism is forbidden.”

Rachid Maidi, Islamic Center of Bloomington member

“We cannot be silent. The Holocaust happened because people stood silently by and allowed it to happen. We can’t let something like that happen again. We have to stand up.”

Rabbi Sue Silberberg, Helene G. Simon Hillel Center

“We have every right to be angry, upset, frustrated. We don’t have a right to be a jerk. We don’t have a right to dismiss other people because what we want is not for them to agree with us but for them to be converted in heart and mind and faith.”

Father Patrick Hyde, St. Paul Catholic Center

Houses of faith express solidarity after ban on travelers, refugees

T

he Islamic Center of Bloomington’s imam makes the call to evening prayer Friday, and the people lining the walls of the room gather in the center to shake hands and face east.

Small children run to join older men.

A sign with movable type lists the day’s prayer times, which change to correspond with the rising and setting of the sun. Those praying stay close together to prevent the devil passing between them.

Rachid Maidi, a longtime member of the Islamic Center of Bloomington, said the mosque’s members have been on edge after the shooting at a mosque in Quebec City the week before. When he arrived at the center that day, the door was hanging open, which made him uneasy. Members are usually careful to shut the door behind them when they leave.

Events in the United States, particularly President Trump’s executive order banning international travel to the U.S. from seven Muslim-majority countries, have left many on edge, too. Rachid said he has strong feelings against the order and that it is playing politics with government leaders and ignoring the people.

The ICB invited the Bloomington community to come to the mosque to learn more about Islam last Friday and to watch the evening prayers.

A few dozen barefoot Bloomington residents sat in folding chairs in the men’s prayer room and asked Ashraf Abdelhafez, the center’s president, and Anna Maidi, the center’s women’s president, questions: Are there different versions of the Quran, just as there are of the New Testament? Must you be fluent in Arabic to be a Muslim? What is the process one must go through to convert?

Last Friday in the Indiana Memorial Union’s Bryan Room chairs and couches were shoved to the walls and replaced with prayer rugs for the Muslim Student Association’s weekly Jummah, or gathering for prayer.

Their call to prayer used to be yelled across campus, but after complaints, that practice was stopped.

“People get uncomfortable with Muslim things they don’t understand,” IU senior Fariha Hossain said. * * * A few days later, a parishioner at St. Paul Catholic Center read from Isaiah 58:7 at Sunday Mass: “Share your bread with the hungry, shelter the oppressed and the homeless; clothe the naked when you see them, and do not turn your back on your own.”

Rabbi Sue Silberberg speaks with members of Shabbat Rocks at Helene G. Simon Hillel Center located on Third Street.

In his homily, the sermon after the readings, Father Patrick Hyde discussed the need to listen to opposing viewpoints.

Hyde said it is easy to say that anyone who agrees with actions like Trump’s executive order on immigration is a bxigot, but he asked the churchgoers to engage in conversation and listen to each other instead of jumping to conclusions.

“We have every right to be angry, upset, frustrated,” Hyde said. “We don’t have a right to be a jerk. We don’t have a right to dismiss other people because what we want is not for them to agree with us but for them to be converted in heart and mind and faith.”

After the Mass, Father John Meany talked about the executive order more explicitly. The Catholic Church has supported and taken in refugees for years, and it has a responsibility to do so now especially because the U.S. has the capacity to take in many more refugees, Meany said.

“We really have an obligation to welcome the aliens and the ones who are in need,” he said.

Across campus at the Helene G. Simon Hillel Center, Rabbi Sue Silberberg talks about the Jewish teaching of tzedakah, which relates to justice and

Pakistani students affected by ban, page 2 Two Pakistani students say they represent a nuanced, unfamiliar kind of Muslim. charity. Part of tzedakah means it is a moral obligation to help the most marginalized and persecuted of the world, she said.

Today, these persecuted people are often those from Muslim-majority countries that are demonized for their religious beliefs, Silberberg said. However, Jews have also been targeted and persecuted throughout history before the Holocaust occurred.

Because of this history of oppression, Silberberg said it is even more important for Jews to stand against the persecution of others.

“We cannot be silent,” she said. “The Holocaust happened because people stood silently by and allowed it to happen. We can’t let something like that happen again. We have to stand up.” * * * In the Islamic Center, Rachid wondered SEE PRAYER, PAGE 10

Valentine’s event offers crafts, drinks

By Rebecca Mehling rmehling@indiana.edu | @rlmehling20

On a table topped with open National Geographic magazines, folder paper cards and glitter sat a drink.

A bramble-and-blueberry honey concoction dubbed Blue’s Clues, to be exact.

Bloomington resident Rose Smith paused from her knitting and took a small sip.

Cardinal Spirits’ monthly Stitch and Bitch event took over the north section of the bar Monday evening. This month’s theme was Valentine’s Day. Bloomington residents were invited to come make valentines while sipping a drink from Cardinal’s newest menu, Cabin Fever.

Stitch and Bitch takes place the first Monday every month, holidays permitting.

Because Cardinal was closed the first Monday in January due to the day being New Year’s Day, this was the year’s first Stitch and Bitch. The event was started a little over a year ago by Allison Zook, Cardinal’s event director, and Jessica Quirk, the wife of one of Cardinal’s co-founders.

“We call it Stitch and Bitch, but also it’s craft night,” Zook said.

Zook wanted to do a

community craft at every Stitch and Bitch to welcome the public. She said she makes it easy by having materials out for everyone who attends to use. This month Zook’s idea was to make valentines. There were stickers, colored pencils, pre-folded cards and more laid out for guests to make the valentines. Zook also printed out postcards associated with the women’s march to be mailed to politicians.

“Not to leave out our fine folks in Washington,” Zook said. “They need special valentines, too.”

Each month is different in terms of how many people show up. Some months they will be packed, and for others only a few show up, Zook said. Cardinal also has regulars, including Bloomington resident Rose Smith, who comes back month after month.

Smith sat with her cocktail, Dem Rude Boys, on the table as she attempted to knit. After taking a lesson last year, she said she’s been trying to knit the same scarf for the past eight months.

“Every time I get it started, my daughter pulls the string out, and so I have to start over,” Smith said.

A group of students participating in IU’s Musical Beginnings will experience the process of musical recording for the first time this week.

The Chamber group of the IU Children’s Choir will start recording two songs with Russian Recording at 4 p.m. Tuesday at the First Presbyterian Church as part of the new BloomingSongs project.

Maggie Olivo, director of IU Musical Beginnings and music teacher at University Elementary School, said BloomingSongs has been a dream of Musical Beginnings for two years.

“When writing the grants, I had determined exactly who our BloomingSongs composers would be — a combination of former classmates from my undergraduate studies in composition, current Bloomington friends of mine, and

established artists I’ve been fortunate to work with in the schools,” Olivo said. “I knew this group of composers was solid. However, I’ve been taken aback by the high level of musicianship of our performers.”

Olivo said the children involved in Musical Beginnings are able to absorb new skills such as music quickly, and the students participating in this project are often no more than 5 years old.

There is great potential for these students to take in what they learn and apply those skills.

“Children develop at such a fast pace that at the start of a semester. We will see a 2-year-old go from babbling to singing beginnings and endings of songs within two to three months’ time,” Olivo said. “We often are there for their first walking days and their first friendships. We learn how to read learning characteristics of infants — do they maintain eye contact?

Smith also works on other crafts during the event. She says she sometimes knits, colors or just likes to sit and chat with everyone else.

“Rose puts the bitch in Stitch and Bitch,” Zook said with a laugh.

For others like Bloomington resident Abby Bowen, it was the first time at Stitch and Bitch. Bowen said she

heard about the event from her mom, who pushed her to do more things around Bloomington. After Bowen’s roommate moved out a couple months ago, she finally pushed herself to attend the event.

“I’m gonna stitch and drink at home, so I might as well stitch and drink somewhere else,” Bowen said.

“And meet new people,” Zook shouted in the background.

Zook encourages people to come and join in on the crafting and inviting atmosphere that Stitch and Bitch brings. She said it’s a good event to come to alone.

“Everybody chats, and it’s a real easy situation,” Zook said.

Local elementary students to record songs

By Sanya Ali

MAN IN MAASTRICHT

Do they turn their head at sounds?”

Partners and supporters of the project include the Smithville Foundation, Reimagining Opera for Kids, Monroe County Public Library and the Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center, as well as many IU-based musicians.

The group in charge of Musical Beginnings includes IU students Bridget Rinehimer, Tiffany Bowen and Abigail Furr and alumni Danielle Priest, Malin Sunstein and Olivo.

“I can say that the IU Musical Beginnings team is dedicated to early childhood music,” Olivo said.

“Between us, our team travels the country, presents music education workshops, teaches music in other countries and locally.

We are always learning and trying to grow as teachers and musicians. To us, music education is key to childhood development, cultural understandings – near and

far – and is vital to strong communities.”

The two songs selected for the recording, “It Takes a Village” and “What Do You Hear Chiquilla?” resonate with the values of community and the coming together as distinctive voices. The students have been practicing these pieces for the past few weeks.

The first song is derived from an African proverb and composed by Raymond Wise of the IU African American Choral Ensemble.

Lauren Bernofsky worked with librettist and IU graduate student Alejandra Martinez to write both a Spanish and English version of the second, Olivo said.

“I’m particularly excited about this connection because we love for Musical Beginnings, and Bloomington families in general, to continue on into the IU Children’s Choir as it is such a strong program,” Olivo said. “I’m also thrilled with the two themes represented

by each of these pieces, especially pertinent to current state of affairs.”

The composers taking part in BloomingSongs were told to write from a personal place, and Olivo said the educational potential of the music is as valuable as the genuineness of each piece.

BloomingSongs aims to unite the old, new and Bloom, Olivo said. The styles can be reflective of older modes such as folk or nursery rhyme, but are newly composed and reflect a Bloomington connection of some kind.

“I love that we will be able to provide music to Bloomington families that truly belongs to them,” Olivo said. “Second, I love that BloomingSongs focuses so much on active listening.

These children are born predisposed to listen. Why not share the voices of our community with them, representative of different styles, cultural diversity and great artistry?”

Trashion Refashion calls for submissions for 2017 show From IDS reports

Every year, designers are encouraged to use conventional and unconventional materials to design outfits to showcase in the Trashion Refashion show.

The eighth annual show will take place at 7 p.m. April 9 in the Buskirk-Chumley Theatre and will feature any interested designers and artists interested in submitting pieces for the show, according to a news release from the show.

The Trashion Refashion show offers designers and models the opportunity to showcase garments and fundraise for the Center for Sustainable Living. Trashion Refashion has raised thousands of dollars for the organization in the past.

The call for submissions will be open through March 1, and potential designers are encouraged to submit up to three individual or group designs via the show’s website, bloomingtontrashion.org.

The “Trashion” aspect of the show comes from the use of materials that can be considered trash, while the “Refashion” refers to the revamping of stained or out-offashion garments. Materials can range from empty cat food cans to bubble wrap.

The goals of Trashion Refashion, a grassroots effort, include fostering awareness of diversity by uniting designers and models across spectrums of age and background, including professors, university students, middle and high schoolers, and local artists.

The show also draws attention to the wasteful practices that lead to environmental harm and encourages use of materials that would otherwise occupy space at a landfill.

Leading up to the start of classes in Maastricht, I caught myself dreading the prospect of returning to school on more than one occasion.

In a previous column I referenced Maastricht University’s problem-based learning instructional system, which places students in small tutorial groups where participation, creative problem solving and active discussion are essential to learning course material.

The bulk of last week was spent in welcome programs designed to introduce students to this method of instruction.

In one of these programs, my peers and I were divided into groups meant to simulate problem based learning. We were given a topic to deconstruct and analyze as a group, and I found it pleasantly uncomfortable being the only American among a dozen or so students from quite literally all corners of the world.

It felt a bit odd that the topic we were given concerned the morality and legality of Edward Snowden’s National Security Agency leaks.

It seems likely that American students would be the ones best equipped to discuss this issue, so I think it may have made it a little more difficult for some students to contribute to the discussion.

After this week devoted to becoming acclimated to the new classroom environment, I traveled north to Amsterdam to enjoy the final days of my extended winter break.

The Dutch capital is a vibrant and homely city with a hodgepodge of cultures. Amsterdam’s 160 canals combine to form more than 60 miles of waterways and offer some of its most breathtaking vistas.

The city’s famed red light district and assortment of coffee shops, which sell much more than hot drinks, have given the city a reputation for debauchery and decadence, for better or for worse.

The argument regarding the legalization and regulation of prostitution and soft drugs is complicated on its own, but I think this reputation encourages other forms of lawlessness and disorder that give the city a bit of a black eye. Still, if you choose, it’s easy to avoid these things and enjoy Amsterdam on its own merits.

Overall, the overwhelming presence of tourists in Amsterdam is hard to escape. In this respect, smaller Dutch cities like Maastricht are sure to offer more cultural immersion, but Amsterdam is well worth a weekend trip at the very least.

Upon further reflection, though, I realized I’ve seldom heard non-Americans complaining about receiving an education.

Consider also the fact that Maastricht University is a globally-recognized and accredited university, and these thoughts begin to seem silly.

With all the talk about making America great again, it’s easy to lose sight of all the things many of us take for granted. This semester I’ll be taking classes with students from countries where schooling is an immense privilege not an afterthought or a source of grief.

My coursework will be difficult, but that’s the point. Plus, the start of classes doesn’t mean the end of my freedom — there’s always the weekend.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

Gassion leaves mark on both ends of court

By Jake Thomer jjthomer@indiana.edu @jake_the_thomer

There are a host of offensive statistics that show senior guard Alexis Gassion’s contributions to the IU women’s basketball team.

She ranks in the top 20 in the Big Ten in points, rebounds and assists. It’s easy to look at these numbers and understand what Gassion brings to the table for the up-tempo IU offense. On defense, however, it’s harder to spot success based on numbers alone.

However, ask any member of her team, and they will tell you where Gassion shines brightest and takes the most pride is on the defensive end.

“Lex takes defense really seriously,” senior center Jenn Anderson said. “That’s when she locks in the most, and we expect her to guard sometimes the best player on the team. She’s been doing really well with that.”

IU Coach Teri Moren has said repeatedly the guards in the Big Ten are among the best in the country, and seemingly every team in the league has a backcourt player who anchors the offense. As a five-foot-eleven guard, Gassion’s size and athleticism are

advantageous for helping her guard other ballhandlers.

Gassion averages more than a steal per game and is second on the team in blocks, but a look at some of the individual performances the Ohio native has delivered against All-Big Ten guards shows what she can really do.

Against Wisconsin at the end of January, Gassion allowed junior guard Cayla McMorris, the team’s leading scorer, to score 13 firsthalf points on six-of-seven shooting.

At halftime, Moren said she tapped into Gassion’s competitive edge and challenged her to lock down McMorris in the second half.

After the break, Gassion didn’t allow McMorris to score a single point the rest of the game, and IU went on to pull away and win the game.

In a loss to Michigan State on Thursday, Gassion drew the assignment of guarding the Big Ten’s secondleading scorer, senior guard Tori Jankoska, and held her to just five-of-18 shooting.

As a senior, Gassion said her familiarity with the conference standouts she guards so regularly have helped her be better prepared for each matchup this season.

“Playing them for a few

years, I kind of know what they like, so it’s kind of easier to know what they like to do,” Gassion said. “I enjoy it a lot.

It feels good when I know my coaches can depend on me.”

As consistently as Moren can trust Gassion to guard the toughest matchup, she

can also be relied upon to stabilize the offense.

Gassion’s patience and ball control on offense have given her an assist to turnover ratio of 3.1. She is one of just three eligible Big Ten players with three times as many assists as turnovers.

Along with junior guard Tyra Buss and senior guard Karlee McBride, Gassion spearheads a backcourt that is constantly looking to push the ball and lead the offense efficiently.

When that offense gets going, it energizes the entire

IU assistant recruits to boost defense

By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu @TaylorRLehman

IU football and its new Coach Tom Allen introduced IU’s newest and 247Sports’ 12th-best recruiting class in the Big Ten on Feb. 1.

The low ranking of the recruiting class within the conference may have left some fans disappointed, but in the gray area of a fan base’s expectations comes one solid fact that transcends the potential of the class of 2017.

The Hoosiers recruited for the defensive line.

Five defensive linemen signed letters of intent to IU on National Signing Day. Six if potential defensive lineman Michael Ziemba — who was considered a tight end out of Florida — is counted.

Much of the credit for that bulk of the class goes to Mark Hagen, Allen said.

“He’s relentless,” Allen said about the second-year IU defensive line coach. “It’s the same thing that he does as a coach.”

For all six recruits that

signed at his position, Hagen was on board. He traveled to Texas, Florida and Wisconsin and around Indiana. Of IU’s six Indiana signees, two are on the defensive line, and two of its nine Florida signees were recruited by Hagen.

All of the recruits are 3-star-caliber signees.

Even when Wisconsin defensive tackle Juan Harris decommited from the Hoosiers, Hagen still managed to help convince him to re-commit and sign early in December.

The numbers are there for the defensive line class of 2017, and the potential for another pass rushing juggernaut is high, but it’s not too surprising that Hagen is responsible for it.

Before earning the defensive line job at Texas A&M in 2013, he was at IU for two seasons as a recruiting coordinator, special teams coordinator and a defensive line coach.

For the classes of 2011 and 2012 — both classes branded with Hagen’s name at defensive line — the defensive line coach brought in Jake Reed, who converted to offensive

line shortly after, and Adarius Rayner at defensive tackle and assisted in converting Ralph Green from offensive line to defensive tackle. Reed and Rayner were both consistent high-level players for IU, and Green is currently entering the NFL Draft at the defensive tackle position.

“He built a great pool of guys and went after them,” Allen said. “He built relationships with the players, with the families and all those that were going to be helping to make the decision and did a really good job of that.”

Allen said Hagen already has an impressive pool of recruits built for the class of 2018 that the Hoosiers are targeting, too.

He works not only relentlessly but quickly.

It wasn’t just Allen that made a difference in the IU defense as a first-year coach in 2016.

After losing pass rushers Rayner, Zach Shaw, Nick Mangieri and Darius Latham, it appeared the defensive line would be an alarming weakness in the IU defense.

defense, Moren said.

“If they see that thing going in, that ball going in, it’s amazing the amount of confidence they have,” Moren said of her team. “And that confidence certainly transfers over to the other end, and that’s defending and guarding.”

However, IU still managed to record 15 sacks and 39 tackles for loss in 13 games from the defensive line position.

Those numbers were dramatically different in 2015 — 21 sacks and 46.5 tackles for loss — but they were spread out among nine players with less experience than the seven that recorded the 2015 statistics.

Players like junior Nate Hoff, junior Pat Dougherty, sophomore Nile Sykes and sophomore Jacob Robinson had career years in 2016 without the leadership that existed in 2015.

That was the challenge of last season, Hagen said — preparing nearly a dozen guys for every game. That doesn’t happen every season, yet somehow IU stayed competitive in the trenches.

The six defensive linemen added from the class of 2017 will be thrown into that mix as Hagen tries to get the defensive line back to the line IU had in 2015.

“He’s a z worker,” Allen said. “And he knows what we’re looking for.”

IU finalizes offensive coaching staff with new offensive line coach hire From IDS reports

Houston offensive line coach and run game coordinator Darren Hiller has left to take the same position at IU, a source confirmed Monday. Hiller had accepted the Houston job Jan. 6 before coming to Bloomington to fill the void former IU offensive line coach Greg Frey left in late-January.

With the hire, IU’s offensive coaching staff is now complete.

Hiller spent 10 seasons at Arkansas State — the last of which was spent while IU Coach Tom Allen served as defensive coordinator.

At Arkansas State, Hiller coached 16 All-Conference players, including six players who went on to play in the NFL. He and Allen led the Red Wolves to a highlight season in 2011, when Arkansas State finished the regular season with a 10-2 record

and the second bowl game in program history.

In 2016, Hiller coached the South Florida offensive line to a 14th national ranking by allowing just 15 sacks in 13 games, and the Bulls’ offense ranked fourth nationally in offense — fifth nationally in rushing yards per game and 11th nationally in total offense.

IU ranked 92nd nationally in rushing yards per game, 56th in total offense and 82nd in sacks allowed in 2016.

Hiller also assisted Cincinnati in breaking 18 offensive school records in 2015, and his offensive line ranked third in the nation in tackles for loss allowed per game in 2014.

Hiller has been on the coaching staff of a bowl team in five of the last seven seasons.

Hoosier quarterback job up for grabs

By Jordan Guskey jguskey@indiana.edu @JordanGuskey

Nick Tronti won’t have the benefit of enrolling early and getting a head start on working with his future IU teammates, but when the newly signed Hoosier and Florida’s Mr. Football arrives in Bloomington he’ll have the opportunity to win the starting job.

The pledge for a competitive quarterback room came in early January. IU Coach Tom Allen’s former quarterback coach Shawn Watson, who left his job with the Hoosiers to join the Pittsburgh Panthers of the ACC, appeared confident that current freshmen Peyton Ramsey and Austin King could push returning starter and junior Richard Lagow.

Tronti, a 247Sports composite three-star recruit, was brought in to do the same.

When Allen introduced Tronti and the rest of IU’s 2017 recruiting class on National Signing Day on Feb. 1, IU’s head coach made that clear.

“You come in here, and you have an opportunity to whatever time you’re given,” Allen said. “So, if you’re a freshman, you come in in June, and you’ve got June and July to make an impression and prepare yourself to compete at this highest level. The best players play.”

Tronti had been committed to North CarolinaCharlotte before he flipped to IU. He finished his recruitment with 21 offers, and only one came from a Power Five program besides IU. Allen indicated the hesitation from high-profile schools possibly arose from Tronti’s play in 7-on-7 activities. Also, this late in the recruiting cycle schools are usually set at key positions.

The key factor on Allen’s mind was how Tronti looked on tape, in pads, with 11 guys on either side of the ball.

When Allen saw that, he saw talent.

“He rises and he shines,” Allen said.

Tronti faces an uphill battle if he wants to see the field as a freshman, or even as a sophomore and upperclassman. Ramsey and King are two players who former IU Coach Kevin Wilson thought highly of. Ramsey in particular constantly earned praise for his work on the scout team offense.

Wide receiver Ricky Jones, who closed out his IU career with the 2016 Foster Farms Bowl, said in the lead up to the game that Ramsey already knew the whole offense. With new coaches the schemes and plays may change, but they change for everyone.

Ramsey’s shown he can learn quickly.

Ramsey, King and Tronti

have the ability to make defenses pay with their legs.

Allen isn’t necessarily looking for a quarterback who is a clean-cut dual-threat guy, but he would like one who the defense at least has to account for.

“You think about the teams that we play. If you think about Penn State and their quarterback, they didn’t do a bunch of quarterback design runs, but he hurt you with his legs and he can extend the play and you’ve got to account for him,” Allen said. “When you do, where do you have to account for him with? In the secondary. That changes everything.”

Whether or not Ramsey and King truly have a shot at dethroning Lagow will likely be decided by the end of spring ball, and Tronti’s best bet at playing time will come

if none of the trio can separate themselves from the pack.

When Allen became head coach he said Tronti was a guy he went after and thought finished off the 2017 class in a way that makes it “really, really special.” Allen’s connections in Florida kept telling him to consider Tronti, and Allen pulled the trigger.

Come fall 2017, Hoosier fans can see if that’ll pay dividends sooner rather than later.

“He’s at his best when it counts the most which is what you want,” Allen said. “He has that moxie about him, that savvy about him. He’s got that special something that’s to put the team on his back and go score and go win the game, and he’s got the ability to run and throw and he’s tough and competitive and I just love this kid.”
