Woman fights off attack Tuesday

AFTER-PARTY KEEPS CULTUREFEST DANCING, PAGE 6.

Attacker tried to pull her into the woods off the trail where she was jogging From IDS reports

A 34-year-old woman told the Bloomington Police Department a man attempted to pull her into the woods just off the trail near the Monroe County YMCA where she was jogging.

Bloomington police received the call at approximately 11:45 p.m.

Aug. 16.

The woman kneed her attacker in the groin and fought back until he ran off and left her on the trail.

She called 911 and BPD arrived on the scene to assist. The woman sustained a knee injury as well as a number of cuts and scrapes on her body.

The assailant was wearing a blue ski mask and a dark hoodie, but no other defining characteristics are known at this time. He was unarmed and displayed no weapon, according to the report.

BPD Capt. Steve Kellams said when on these trails, and at night in general, people should be aware of themselves and their surroundings. Being with a group or at least one other individual is also helpful from a safety perspective.

Similar cases have been reported along both the B-Line Trail through the center of town and the Clear Creek trail on the southwest side of Bloomington.

These reports of criminal activity on the trails are not an epidemic, but actually a minority of total criminal cases, Kellams said.

The case reports these trail crimes generate for BPD is approximately 1 percent of all cases they receive. This percentage is small and covers a wide variety of cases that occur in the area, from robberies to traffic violations at the B-Line intersection, Kellams said.

Kellams said the small total number of crimes and the wide variety that occur on the trail indicate it is not a hotbed of criminal activity.

“The trail system is safe in Bloomington,” Kellams said.

At the age of 3, freshman Claudia Rhett took her first dance class. However, it wasn’t until a few years later that she knew this was what she wanted to pursue as a career, she said.

Along with dance, Rhett ran crosscountry and took part in other activities throughout her childhood. When her dance teacher told her mom Rhett needed to choose between ballet and her other activities, Rhett chose ballet.

When searching for the best college for her, Rhett said IU was a perfect choice.

The Jacobs School of Music ballet program has excellent faculty.

For Rhett, becoming prepared to dance after college is one of her biggest goals for her time at IU. “I want to learn a lot and be able to get a job dancing professionally after graduation,” Rhett said.

After months of packing and preparing for the move, Rhett said she’s relieved to be on campus. However, her roommate switched schools last minute, so Rhett’s been living alone.

“I’ve enjoyed having my room to myself, but it’s been hard not to have someone around all the time,” Rhett said.

She said she’s still in love with IU and through her college search, the campus made Rhett’s decision easy.

“I felt like I was home,” Rhett said.

A 17-year-old man called the Bloomington Police Department at 8:24 p.m. Wednesday to report a sexual assault from Aug. 13.

After receiving the victim’s call reporting the incident, BPD brought the victim to the station for questioning and later to the hospital for an exam.

The victim said he had attended a house party on the south side of Bloomington and had consumed some alcohol when he received sexual advances from a male subject whom he knew.

At the time, the victim rejected those advances, he said.

Later that night the victim began to feel sick and passed out on a bed in the house. When he awoke the next morning, he said he was in just his underwear, but he said he did not think anything of it at the time.

The victim said he later began to notice pain in the rectal area, which made him believe he had been sexually assaulted at the party.

He has since been taken to the hospital where he is undergoing exams to help ascertain what happened.

BPD said it plans to follow up on the victim’s account and contact a number of people who the victim said were at the party in order to gain a clearer picture of what happened.

This is an active case currently being investigated by BPD detectives.

B’Town Jazz hosts annual fest at county courthouse

By Katelyn Haas haask@umail.iu.edu | @khaas96

The Bloomington musical community will kick off fall on Saturday with the annual B’Town Jazz Fest, a local jazz festival that features both local and IU musical talent.

Richard Baskin, a member of Pat Harbison & Butterfly Dreams, a modern jazz group performing in the fest, said it’s important for the community to have a concentrated jazz outlet to enjoy.

“I think that with the school of music, one of the top schools of music being in Bloomington, it’s

important that we do these types of events for our visibility and representation,” Baskin said. “A lot of people like jazz in this town, but they don’t really get to hear it in such a concentrated way all the time. Having a festival dedicated to jazz is important.”

The festival will begin at the Bloomington Farmers Market near West Seventh Street with a performance from the Jefferson Street Parade Band in a marching band-style procession.

The band will play New Orleans parade music on the way from the farmers market to the festival stage on the southeast

corner of the Monroe County Courthouse. The march will begin at 11:40 a.m., and the band will play on stage from noon to 12:30 p.m.

“It’s sort of a pied piper effect,” Chair of the Festival John Porter said. “The people hear the music as it moves and follow it to the courthouse.”

The jazz festival will continue until 11 p.m.

The festival originated five years ago on Grant Street in front of what is now Quaff On! Brewing Company. The location was previously Cafe Jango, the only fulltime jazz venue that featured live

B’TOWN JAZZ FEST Festival opens at 11:40 a.m. with a march from Bloomington Farmer’s Market to the southeast corner of the Courthouse Square.

Bands will play on the festival stage from noon to 12:30 p.m. jazz six or seven days a week.

The B’Town Jazz organization worked with the restaurant owners and began what is now B’Town Jazz Fest.

Doug Bauder, coordinator of the GLBTSSS office at IU, speaks with students in 2014 about IU being named one of the top 50 LGBT-friendly universities in the nation.

GLBTSSS seeks more inclusive name

By Emily Miles elmiles@iu.edu | @EmilyLenetta

Some call it the gay house. Some call it the LGBT office. But neither of those monikers cover the spectrum of whom the office wishes to serve.

The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Student Support Services Office is searching for a new name, one that better aligns with its mission to include all students.

Within the first few weeks of class, the staff said it plans to begin calling for focus groups and sending surveys via the office’s email newsletter and social media, Office Supervisor Jamie Bartzel said.

“We’re hoping to broaden the scope to reach both people who have utilized the

office, who feel comfortable in the office, and those who don’t utilize the office, don’t know it’s here or look at it and think, oh, that’s not for me — especially those are the ones we want to reach and hear what they have to say and see if we can be better serving their needs,” Bartzel said.

After the office changed its name to include the transgender community years ago and has long fielded questions about why the G comes before the L, the most recent discussion about a serious adjustment came after summer 2015 New Student Orientation.

There, GLBTSSS Office staff handed out business cards with information on the front and a word cloud of identities on the back. Upon receiving the cards, many

incoming students added terms on the back and drew arrows indicating a switch between “Gay” and “Lesbian” in the name on the front.

“Seeing the cards with people’s notations on them made us realize we have to get serious about creating a name that’s welcoming for students and that students feel is representative of them,” Bartzel said.

However, not everyone has been completely on board with past or impending changes, which could include an A for asexual and ally or a plus sign to denote absolute inclusion.

“Every once in a while we get a little pushback on that,” Director Doug Bauder said. “Last year, when we hosted our Rainbow Reception at the end of the year for graduates, we heard that

there were some people who were bothered by the fact that we would invite allies to this. But we have always welcomed allies, and over the years that I’ve been here, I think one of the things that’s so interesting is to see how many more allies are out of their closets as allies and want to be supportive of their gay friends.”

Including allies is particularly important because some who identify as such are still figuring out their identities or aren’t comfortable coming out, Bartzel said.

Bauder said he guesses the office will upset a few folks regardless of what it decides, but Bartzel said she disagrees.

“I wouldn’t say we’ll upset a few folks,” she said.

“We’re just aware that it’s hard to represent a com-

munity in a few words that everyone in the community is satisfied with. So we just want to be as sensitive as we can to as many needs as we can but also recognize that this is not an easy task.”

Other difficulties with the name change include logistics like replacing the sign in front of the house, updating websites and notifying other sites that link to the GLBTSSS Office.

Despite challenges, the office staff said it is excited for the transition.

“So much of college is a process of discovery, including of one’s own gender expression and sexuality,” Bartzel said. “We just want to be a place where people are allowed to ask questions, to figure themselves out and figure out the world around them.”

New dean of students begins open office hours

By Laurel Demkovich lfdemkov@indiana.edu @laureldemkovich

Students may not know the name of the new vice provost for student affairs and dean of students, but Lori Reesor has a way to help.

Reesor leaves a bowl of Reese’s peanut butter cups on her desk, which Reesor she uses to help students learn her name.

Reesor began her job as the new vice provost for student affairs and dean of students in July with the goal to listen and learn in her first year.

The listening and learning process starts with her office hours.

“I know a lot about students, and I know a lot about student success,” Reesor

said. “I just have to learn more about how that works at IU.” Reesor said she plans to have office hours once a week for students to come in and talk to her about anything they need.

Office hours are posted every month on the dean of students’ website.

“It’s an important message to students that I’m here,” Reesor said.

These office hours aren’t just for complaints, Reesor said.

They’re an opportunity for her to learn more about students. However, she said she’s always looking to improve IU’s campus.

“I believe there’s always something we can do better,” Reesor said.

Another way to increase her interaction with students is through a group called the Cabinet of Student Leaders.

The cabinet meets

monthly and is made up of student leaders across campus.

The group previously existed, but Reesor decided to rename it from the Dean’s Advisory Board.

It’s a way for students to get to know the dean and discuss ideas and initiatives with her and each other, Reesor said.

Before coming to IU, Reesor worked as the vice president for student affairs at the University of North Dakota, according to a May press release.

Succeeding Harold “Pete” Goldsmith, Reesor will lead 13 departments and more than 150 programs through the Division of Student Affairs.

Reesor said her priorities for the year include providing stability in the Office of Student Ethics again.

Last year, some students said they felt distrust of the office after Jason Casares, an ad-

ministrator who oversaw sexual assault investigations at IU, was accused of sexual assault.

Two of Reesor’s other priorities are helping students feel safer on campus and enhancing diversity and inclusion.

Overall, Reesor said her main goal is to help students succeed.

In every meeting she attends, she focuses on what students need and representing them to the best of her ability.

“I’m in this job because I love students and I believe that higher education changes your life,” Reesor said.

Reesor describes herself as a connector. She said she loves connecting people to other people.

“I love hearing about students’ dreams,” Reesor said.

“I love hearing about what they want to accomplish at IU and really how can I help.”

Reesor’s Office Hours Lori Reesor, vice provost for student affairs and dean of students, will have her office hours during these times in August and September.

Her office hours will be updated monthly on the dean of students’ website, at studentaffairs.indiana. edu/dean-students/officehours.shtml.

David Burke has worn lab coats for years, but this past summer, he wore a kimono for the first time.

Burke, a senior studying chemistry, traveled to Japan this summer to perform scientific research.

He was one of many undergraduates who used internships abroad to continue continue their education while also gaining cultural experiences.

“It truly was a once-in-alifetime opportunity and left me with a deep appreciation for Japan, its culture and people,” Burke said.

Burke spent six weeks working at the University of Tokyo this past summer in the nanospace chemistry laboratory at the Graduate School of Science.

Burke synthesized crystals using organic and metal compounds.

Chemists use these crystals to change molecular structures to create pharmaceutical drugs.

Simple changes in molecular structure can cause drastic results.

A small change in the structure of thalidomide can mean the difference between two drugs: one that treats morning sickness and one that causes birth defects.

But lab skills weren’t all the internship experience had to offer.

After studying Japanese in high school and college, Burke had many chances to practice the language when he was away from the lab in his daily life.

While purchasing tickets for the Japanese railroad system, asking for directions and speaking with waiters in restaurants, Burke could practice the language like never before.

Exploring Tokyo; Yokohama, Japan; Osaka, Japan; and other locations, Burke prepared origami, participated in a traditional tea ceremony and wore a kimono for the first time as part of the University of Tokyo Research Internship Program.

Rayne Kim, a senior majoring in neuroscience and biology, spent six weeks this summer at an internship in South Korea.

Kim worked under a Korean pioneer in neuroscience and used deep brain stimulation to study neurodegenerative diseases.

Kim also observed, collaborated with and assisted researchers with ongoing projects in the medical field while in South Korea.

“For the first time, I saw just how instrumental research was to the medical field,” Kim said in an email.

“Not only was this eye-opening to how science could save lives, but it was also a full-on cultural immersion experience.”

Kim’s work involved implanting electrodes into rats’ brains and training them to respond to the environment.

Another ongoing project injected color-changing chemicals into the body to fight plaque buildup in the brain.

CultureFest puts diversity in spotlight

Visitors to the First Nations Educational and Cultural Center booth at CultureFest tied strips of cloth inscribed with well wishes to a sapling bent into a hoop.

“Putting a positive wish out there is a great way to really solidify something happening,” said First Nations department secretary Heather Williams.

Students can see the hoop when they visit the First Nations center later in the year and be reminded of the wishes they made, Williams said.

At the La Casa Latino Cultural Center’s booth, second year graduate student Amy Nunez handed out information about Latino support services at IU. The Latino population makes up a small percentage of the student body, and Nunez said a predominantly white campus can be intimidating.

La Casa’s goal is to let students know it’s a supportive environment.

“We’re here for them if they ever need us,” she said.

Players used rubber ducks to learn about how disabilities aren’t always visible at the Disability Services for Students booth. After finding a color on the bottom of a duck they picked from a waterfilled tub, players answered a question about disabilities.

“What president had depression?” The answer: Abraham Lincoln.

Disability Services Coordinator Charlie Stone said the organization works with students to spread awareness and let people know disabilities are nothing to be ashamed of.

Students moved candies from one container to another using chopsticks during a game at the Asian Culture Center’s booth.

The booth was surrounded by people waiting in line to use tickets for free food samplings from seven Bloomington restaurants. Turkish, Afghan and Indian options were available.

Student assistant Alyssa de la Rosa said being at CultureFest is an opportunity to publicize the Asian Culture Center.

“The people who come to ACC are different from the people who come out here,” she said. “We just spread happiness and food.”

Abby Scripka and Anushree Kedia posed for a caricature drawing.

Though they aren’t freshmen, Scripka said coming to CultureFest is a way to celebrate the diversity of IU. “It’s always such a nice thing to do,” Kedia said. “It’s good to meet new people and answer questions.”

“I just really like free food,” Scripka said.

“That too.”

Burke also said he cherished time with new people while researching abroad.

Course reviews now on One.IU

By Nyssa Kruse nakruse@iu.edu | @NyssaKruse

Student feedback from course evaluations at IU is now available online for nearly every class through the One.IU application seven years after the process to implement a course evaluation system began.

The app, called OCQ Student Dashboard, organizes evaluations so students can search for a course and see how other students rated professor enthusiasm, course time commitment and other factors.

“The goal is not to help students find classes that don’t have work, but rather them help manage their time,” said Dennis Groth, vice provost for undergraduate education.

The app is similar to ratemyprofessors.com, but contains no written student comments, only ratings by students on five criteria. Student evaluators’ identities are not included, either.

Groth said he thinks of the app as more reliable than a website like ratemyprofessors.com

because the data comes from real student course evaluations instead of unknown people online.

“The long-term value of this comes from students using it, seeing it’s valuable and completing their OCQ,” Groth said.

Data collection began in 2013, but it took until last fall to get input from all departments on the app.

OCQ Student Dashboard now contains more than 200,000 individual evaluations from last school year.

Judy Ouimet, senior assistant vice provost for under-

graduate education, said she believes the number could exceed 300,000 if more students completed their end of course evaluations.

“We needed to collect data before we could put anything out there,” Ouimet said. “Now we have a strong foundation.”

Groth said students who worked with their department on the app found it to be useful, but the continuing usefulness of the app depends on students.

“If students want to get more from it, they need to put more into it,” Groth said.

BPD plans educational events

By Dominick Jean drjean@imail.iu.edu | @Domino_Jean

The Bloomington Police Department will participate in “Sex, Drugs and Rock’n Roll,” a Welcome Week activity designed to educate new and returning students on the dangers of unprotected sex, alcohol and other issues.

Police officers in the past have provided students with fatal vision goggles, which imitate the effects of alcohol. Students were allowed to drive golf carts while wearing the goggles to learn about the dangers of driving under the influence of alcohol.

IU and BPD have goals to encourage a safe approach to engaging in various

activities and, in the case of BPD, community participation serves as outreach in an informal atmosphere.

Late Nite is from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. every Friday night in the Indiana Memorial Union. It involves free bowling, billiards, arts and crafts, and other games for student enjoyment. BPD will be present at some Late Nite events in an informal role, BPD Capt. Steve Kellams said.

The PRIDE Summerfest on Aug. 27 is another BPD event. The Summerfest is designed to create a greater awareness of LGBT issues and concerns in a safe atmosphere.

BPD will have a table set up to answer questions and address concerns posed by

any of the event attendees.

Crossfit with a Cop is the young person version of Coffee with a Cop, Kellams said. At 11 a.m. Sept.

3, BPD officers will be at Hoosier Crossfit to engage with young people informally and teach the basics of CrossFit to anyone interested.

Fiesta del Otono takes place Sept. 24 during National Hispanic Heritage Month. The month, from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, celebrates the independence of several Latin American countries, including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua.

In past years, local Hispanic and Latino artists have shared their heri-

tages through food, music and other entertainment for kids. BPD said it plans to be at the fiesta to reach out and communicate better with the large Hispanic community present in Bloomington.

The police department is also still accepting applications to its Citizens’ Academy during the fall semester period. The academy is designed to educate 30 people per class on the issues, problems and concerns related to the city of Bloomington and specifically to the police department.

The classes meet from 6 to 8 p.m. every Thursday Sept. 1 through Oct. 27, and the link to apply is at bloomington.in.gov/citizensacademy.

Library program offers workshops From IDS reports

Level Up, the Monroe County Public Library’s new digital creativity center, is an all-ages space that includes a video production studio with a green screen, two audio production studios and digital creativity workstations for design, coding and editing.

Free workshops are available in Level Up every week on different

digitally creative topics. Every Thursday from 7 to 8:30 p.m., experts from the community will volunteer their time to lead participants through different software, hardware and other media outlets, according to the website.

The programs usually offer hands-on experiences and are designed to let participants experiment and practice these production skills from the start.

The Thursday workshop was an introduction to Ableton Live and will be followed by a maps and macroscope tools workshop the following week.

No registration to attend the workshops is necessary. However, participants are encouraged to arrive early for the workshops, as the programs are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, and space is limited.

However, a valid

Monroe County Public Library card and basic computing skills are required in order to participate in the workshops.

Level Up is open at the same hours as the main library. These are Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m.

Mayor John Hamilton announced a new plan Thursday to increase affordable housing in Bloomington during the next year by focusing on various areas such as inclusionary zoning, accessory dwelling units and tiny houses.

Affordable housing is defined as housing serving those Mary whose Catherine incomes Carmichael are up to 130 percent of Bloomington’s median range of $28,660, which is adjusted for family size. Affordable housing will encompass all types of housing, from special needs to senior housing.

“Affordable housing is a fundamental building block of a successful city,” Hamilton said. “We know we have some challenges with housing affordability, and I’m planning that we try several innovative things to address those challenges and see what works best as we develop our longer term plans together.”

Accessory dwelling units and tiny houses are particularly exciting housing options for Bloomington residents, said Mary Catherine Carmichael, communications director for the office

of the mayor.

If amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance are passed, zoning laws will be updated to allow for up to 20 accessory dwelling units, which are smaller dwellings on the same grounds as a primary residence. These units will be limited to owner-occupied residences.

The administration also proposed the construction of up to 15 tiny houses. Tiny houses, typically 80 to 400 square feet, have received national media attention in recent years, Carmichael said.

“There are television shows about tiny houses,” Carmichael said. “They’re a neat, trendy thing that we haven’t seen in Bloomington before.”

The average cost to build a tiny house is $23,000 if built by the owner, according to the Tiny Life. Additionally, tiny house owners do well financially. Tiny house owners have a median of $10,972 in the bank, and 55 percent have more savings than the average American.

Hamilton said the new affordable housing initiatives will work with the longterm focused Comprehensive Master Plan and Unified Development Ordinance, currently in development to bring diverse housing options in Bloomington.

“We want this wonderful place to work for people from all walks of life,” Hamilton said.

An automotive company has plans to expand its operations in Salem, Indiana, and create jobs in the process.

GKN Sinter Metals will spend more than $6.9 million to update and renovate its 220,000-square-foot facility in Salem and add up to 24 jobs by 2020, according to a press release.

“In order to continue increasing our sales, it’s important for us to expand our product offering as customer demands change,” GKN Plant Manager Jai Perumal said in the release. “In order to exceed our customers’ expectations, we want to continue investing in equipment and technology that results in quality products.

As a leader in both the manufacturing and automotive industry, Indiana continues to be a great place for GKN to grow its footprint.”

GKN Sinter Metals is a manufacturer of precision powder metal products, according to the release. It is a subsidiary of GKN America Corp., based in the United Kingdom. GKN Sinter Metals has about 6,500 employees, and more than 400 of those are Indiana residents.

The Salem facility produces mainline automotive engine and transmission parts for companies including Ford, General Motors, Toyota, Honda, Mazda and Chrysler, according to the release.

“Indiana supports more than 8,500 manufacturing businesses and is home to the highest concentration of manufacturing jobs in the nation,” Indiana Gov. Mike Pence said in the release.

“Indiana offers manufacturers a low-cost, low-tax business climate and a dedicated, skilled workforce that provides global firms like GKN Sinter Metals the tools they need to succeed. The Hoosier state is a state that works for business and supports manufacturing operations that power our world.”

After-Party allows for musuem exploration

By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13

During CultureFest, outside the Eskenazi Museum of Art, students moved from booth to booth. The sound of drums, upbeat music from around the world and chatter of an excited crowd colored the street as the sun shone through the clouds.

Inside the campus art museum, another celebration was taking place. Freshmen and upperclassmen alike explored the gallery with museum passports in hand.

Outside each of the galleries was a table with a volunteer ready to stamp each passport, representing a successful trip through a small world of art.

This was just one feature of the CultureFest After-Party, which ran through the evening at the museum.

Freshmen such as Victoria Antonini and Claire Liechty completed their passports by wandering the galleries and seeing part of the museum’s vast 45,000-piece collection.

“We actually got invited through the passports and free ice cream, but it’s also a really cool way to see the art exhibits here,” Antonini said.

Overall impressions were positive, Antonini and Liechty, both first-time visitors to the museum, said.

Fraser’s goals for the next four years include playing baseball and getting into the Kelley School of Business his sophomore year.

“I really want to stay involved and focus on my education,” Fraser said. * * * For freshman Jake Preddy, going to a school far from his home doesn’t bother him.

Originally from Vermont, Preddy said coming to school in Indiana isn’t much different from going to a school a

“It’s been really cool. I didn’t really know the different types of art here,” Liechty said.

Along with the existing exhibits was a special exhibition called “Spotlight,” designed to show students some pieces from the museum’s collection that are not currently on display, including jewelry, traditional art pieces and more.

Though the noise from activities outside was muted, music played through the atrium as students and local families participated in various crafts. Volunteers with the Lotus Festival led one of these activities, in which attendees could take strips of ribbon to make simple star shapes.

One of these volunteers was senior Izzy Osmundsen who has worked with the Lotus Festival since the summer.

The stars created by participants at this table were placed in a basket in the center, as part of the larger project, “One Million Stars to End Violence.”

“We’re working on a goal of 10,000 stars for an overall worldwide goal of a million,” Osmundsen said. “Each star is your own personal commitment against violence.”

Osmundsen said her coworkers at the Lotus Festival decided to get involved because of the cultural aspect.

“Once you’re five or six hours away from your home, you can’t go home every weekend anyway,” Preddy said. “It’s not really a big deal to go any farther away.”

Preddy is studying journalism with hopes to be a sports journalist one day.

“I really wanted a bigschool atmosphere, and with IU’s journalism program, it seemed like the perfect choice,” Preddy said.

Although he’s only been here a few days, Preddy said his transition to college has been smooth.

“Being part Samoan, the artist had these weaving tra-

Her dream company is IBM, but, more broadly, she just hopes to end up in Seattle or Silicon Valley, she said.

As a black woman, Brownlee said she sometimes worries about going into a STEM field, which are traditionally dominated by white men, but she said this worry mostly pushes her to be better.

THE QUEST BEGINS MICHAEL WILLIAMS | IDS

Sophomore midfielder Rees Wedderburn works to keep the ball away from a pair of Oakland players during IU's exhibition game Thursday evening. The Hoosiers won, 4-0.

Hoosiers cruise to shutout victory in second exhibition match of the season

By Josh Eastern jeastern@iu.edu | @JoshEastern

Despite losing their top scorer from last year, the Hoosiers entered the 2016 season with no shortage of goals in IU’s 4-0 exhibition win against Oakland Thursday night.

In their first home match of the season, the Hoosiers had it going immediately.

They were pushing right from the opening kick and got the ball in the back of the net with a 6th-minute goal.

It was Richard Ballard who broke the seal with the curler into the top right corner of the box.

“I was pleased with the performance,” IU Coach Todd

Yeagley said. “The goals — we maybe should have had a few more in the first half, but that was my only disappointment.

The pressure was very good, and we forced them continuous turnovers, and we were able to start our attack from that, which was an area we focused on.”

Newcomer junior forward Rashad Hyacenth also got into the action with sophomore midfielder Rees Wedderburn when they came on as first-half subs. They connected for a score when Wedderburn feathered the ball into Hyacenth for a 46thminute goal.

Yeagley said he was very pleased when asked about the connection between

Wedderburn and Hyacenth.

“They do connect. There is that soccer passion that they both do come from,” Yeagley said. “Rashad is able to hold things up, and Rees is able to find little seams and he can get balls off of him and then make the next play.”

Hyacenth is a native of Trinidad & Tobago, and Wedderburn is from England with Jamaican roots. The Trinidadian said they definitely do have a connection.

“I can speak to him the way I speak back home,” Hyacenth said. “I speak extremely fast, and he understands because he has a Jamaican background, so we have sort of a Carribean connection, but all these guys are great

and take nothing away from them. The build-up play was fantastic with each and every goal.”

Oakland had a tough time keeping IU off the ball as the Hoosiers dominated possession at Jerry Yeagley Field.

The Hoosiers out-shot the Golden Grizzlies, 13-3.

The scoring continued in the 63rd minute as senior defender Phil Fives capped off a quality night of action with a shot into the left side of the goal, which had IU well in control with a 3-0 lead. For good measure, fellow defender freshman AJ Palazzolo assisted freshman forward Ian Black on an 88th-minute goal.

The Bruins should bring a bit of a tougher test, junior defender Grant Lillard said.

“They are a very talented side. It’ll be fun,” Lillard said.

“It will be a very open game, very talented, very quick. I know a lot of those guys from growing up in Arizona, so it will be good to see them. It will be a great atmosphere and a high intensity game which will be good for our open season against Stanford and Cal.”

24 SPORTS, ONE ZEGA

Here are some under-the-radar Hoosiers you should watching this fall Another academic year begins, another athletic season begins.

While freshmen are getting ready to attend their first college football game, let’s remember IU has more than just football this fall. There’s also the eight-time national champion men’s soccer team.

And 22 other sports — though not all play in the fall.

Because football and men’s soccer have such traction in our country, they tend to receive more preseason attention for their watch lists, preseason honors, etc., than other sports.

But IU does have other sports. And here’s who to keep an eye on this season:

Marissa Borschke, women’s soccer The redshirt senior Marissa has started in Borschke every game over the past two seasons for the Hoosiers, a team that produced twotime Colombian Olympian Orianica Vélasquez. Though the team went 3-10-6 last season (0-7-4 Big Ten), Borschke was the team’s second-leading scorer with two goals on seven shots. As a defender, she was part of a backline that did not allow a goal in 463 minutes of play, the second-longest span in IU history. On Monday, she

was named to the Big Ten’s preseason honors list, along with teammates Jazzmine Veronica ElMcDonald lis and Kayla Smith. She has also been named to the Academic AllBig Ten list. Though this isn’t necessarily something to watch for on the field, it’s still important to note, because academics are important, kids.

Jazzmine McDonald, volleyball Fresh off a summer in Europe with the U.S. Collegiate National Team, the

senior middle blocker will be coming back newly charged for the year.

Working with Sam Scire a new set of coaches — coaches of a national team, at that — is always helpful in getting a new perspective. New coaches see new things. IU Coach Sherry Dunbar-Kruzan said McDonald’s offseason was full of growth for both her mental and physical game.

Though she only played in 56 sets last season, McDonald recorded 105 kills and 39 blocks. That was enough to give her a team-high .323 hitting percentage, finish-

ing 10th in the Big Ten. After spending a week with players and coaches from different parts of the country — and different athletic conferences — McDonald’s new skills will likely serve as a huge asset to the Hoosiers as they seek to improve on their 6-14 Big Ten record last season.

Sam Scire, field hockey In her first season with the Hoosiers, this freshman forward comes fresh off a summer competing with New Jersey’s USA Field Hockey Junior High Performance team.

Prior to that, she played for a Junior Olympic-qualifying club team and set a record for her high school with 113 goals. Scire graduated high

school early to begin training with the Hoosiers in the spring and scored four goals in spring games. On Signing Day, Coach Amanda Janney cited Scire’s strengths as her ability to score and to set up her teammates to do the same. Her early edge with the Hoosiers’ style of play and her ability to score should make her a nice addition to a team on the rise that is coming off its first winning conference season since 2009. jzega@indiana.edu

Just six days after thenpresident George W. Bush officially launched an illfated offensive against Iraq and the oppressive regime of Saddam Hussein, NBC News mainstay Brian Williams was already a war hero.

Or so he would have us believe.

Twelve years later, in February 2015, Williams’ story regarding his presence on a Chinook helicopter hit by a rocket-propelled grenade was outed by witnesses as a sham, a desperate attempt to boost his journalistic street cred.

Williams was suspended by his network for six months without pay before returning in a reduced role as an MSNBC breaking news and special reports anchor.

According to the New York Times, the former “NBC Nightly News” anchor will be the host of a program similar to his previous show that will air at 11 p.m.

Despite the dark smudges on Williams’ integrity, we support his new show, mainly because no harm can come of it.

The swiftness of Williams’ return to network should alarm people, especially given the unenthusiastic nature of his apology, in which he claimed “a mistake in recalling the events”

as his defense.

After all, this episode was no isolated gaffe.

Williams claimed to witness the fall of the Berlin Wall as a reporter for WCBS-TV in New York City.

To the contrary, a source at NBC News revealed “Brian arrived the day after the wall came down.” Surely, though, he would like to have us know that this was simply another lapse of memory.

Additionally, he claimed to have flown into Baghdad with SEAL Team Six. It must have slipped his mind that the SEALs do not permit journalists to travel with them.

In its code of ethics, the Society of Professional Journalists enumerates the responsibilities and duties of those who report the news, the first of which is “Seek truth and report it.” Once — and perhaps still — network television’s most recognizable voice, Brian Williams violated this creed.

Although his past has been marred by lack of journalistic integrity, maybe Williams has taken his time off to recognize the error of his ways. Perhaps he deserves another chance and will achieve redemption.

He’s served a punishment already in his sixthmonth, unpaid suspension.

He will be further humbled

by his 11 p.m. graveyardshift timeslot, in which he will follow Lawrence O’Donnell’s program four days a week.

Wait, who?

Of course, Williams’ return is not without a caveat.

Tentatively, the show will run for a two-month probationary period, beginning in September and concluding after the presidential election, at which point network executives will assess the show’s potential moving forward.

Given his track record, Williams should be kissing the feet of his NBC bosses.

Not all disgraced journalists are able to claw their way back into the spotlight.

In a similar incident, Janet Cooke, a former Washington Post reporter, penned a Pulitzer Prizewinning story about an 8-year-old heroin addict in 1980. Months later, she was pressured into admitting that she fabricated the story, returned her award and subsequently faded into obscurity.

Williams’ yet-to-benamed show is a harmless shot at redemption. If it proves to be a dud, the executives can put it to bed following the election. If he performs well, he will have earned his second chance.

He may even find his memory has improved.

Presidential nomination illuminates bias

The new Cold War is underway

I remember staying up past my bedtime Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2008. As I hugged a pillow to my chest, I followed along as each state on the map shown on the television turned red or blue.

Then, I watched as Barack Obama was declared the winner of the 2008 presidential election.

At 10 years old, I had no idea what “Democrat” or “Republican” meant. I simply processed the facts laid out in front of me by the television broadcaster: for the first time in United States history, a black man had been elected president.

Fast-forward to December 2015. As part of a community project called “Facing Racism,” I interviewed a black woman about her life and experiences with racism. Almost a year later, one thing she said still sticks out in my brain. As we discussed the upcoming primaries, she said, “I never realized how racist this country was until Barack Obama became president.”

Her observation, a mixture

of crushed idealism and weary realization, is sobering.

Obama rode to victory on a campaign that seemed immune to systemic racism. Jim Crow who?

Humans crave simplicity. It only seemed rational that once we elected a president who wasn’t white, racism would be buried deep in the ground.

Instead, it seemed that bigotry in America was a sleeping dragon, woken from its slumber by Obama’s election.

In the aftermath of his election, some Republicans sought to delegitimize Obama. Some networks entertained their dark-cornerof-the-internet-conspiracyblog claims, and some talk radio hosts were consumed by sheer horror at the Obama presidency.

First, Obama’s birth certificate was fake. Then, he was a Kenyan. Next, he became a Muslim. All of this defamatory rhetoric festered until, finally, Obama was some caricature that fit the narrative the Republicans sought

to create: Obama was the absolute worst thing to happen to America, the sign of the Rapture, the four horsemen of the apocalypse in a single man, etc.

And the sad thing is thousands and thousands of people bought into this.

As we stand on the precipice of the 2016 presidential election, almost 100 years since women were given the right to vote, I can’t help but anticipate a similar backlash if Hillary Clinton is elected.

Granted, she’s nowhere near perfect, but many have already shown that they’re not capable of criticizing her without using gendered insults. She’s been given the nickname “Shrillary” and been targeted for “shouting” during campaign rallies. She’s already facing a mountain of sexist rhetoric and the election is still three months away.

We live in an age far removed from the bra-burning days of yesteryear.

Women, breaking glass ceiling after glass ceiling,

Anna Groover is a freshman in English and political science

are, for the most part, able to pursue their dreams. To many young girls today, feminism is the equivalent of Grandma’s china set in the cabinet: a neat little antique to glance at for a few seconds but hardly practical or functional in today’s world. Never mind that the wage gap is still alive and thriving.

It would seem that true gender equality will have been reached when a woman finally breaks the ultimate glass ceiling, just as Obama did in 2008 for people of color.

However, we can’t buy into this frame of thought.

It’s tempting, but, as Obama’s election proves, winning the presidency is not a victory lap for racial or gender equality. Instead, it’s simply a milestone, with the finish line still off in the distance. acgroove@indiana.edu

SHOWALTER‘S SHOW AND TELL

Dispelling shortsighted links between race and crime Even though the subject may not be trending on Facebook anymore, black lives still matter, and the issue still deserves our attention.

When the national debate on the Black Lives Matter movement reached its peak in mid-July, I read some alarmingly racist statements online, seemingly supported by the facts.

Commenters quoted the FBI, which reports that 40 percent of cop killings occur at the hands of black offenders, to explain why they’re disproportionately shot by police.

On a CNN panel, retired New York Police Department detective Harry Houck provided statistics demonstrating how blacks are more “prone to criminality” than whites in terms of robberies and violent crime.

It is true that the percentage of cops killed by blacks is 178 percent higher than their representation in the overall population and 31 percent lower for whites, which means that blacks kill

police at a rate of more than five times that of whites.

Conservatives use these facts and figures as a way to justify the disproportionate number of blacks who are incarcerated and are victims of police brutality.

With the so-called facts on their side, conservatives feel vindicated in their racism and comfortable enough to say that blacks are simply more violent and more criminal than whites, and, in essence, that they deserve to be incarcerated or killed by the police.

From a historical, cultural and sociological perspective, these statistics don’t tell the whole story.

It’s not race but poverty that is linked with criminality. Researchers at Villanova University found reductions in poverty in both black and white neighborhoods saw similar statistically significant reductions in crime.

Nationally, blacks have the highest poverty rate, at 27.4 percent. This rate is 2.5 times that of whites, accord-

ing to the Economic Policy Institute.

However, don’t assume blacks are in poverty because they’re lazy, less skilled or less employable.

Blacks are kept in poverty because of the racism that exists in our social economics due to factors such as employers who are less likely to hire applicants with black-sounding names.

Still, sociology and culture aren’t everything. This issue also has historical explanations.

The police force in the United States began as slave patrol. Yes, that’s completely true.

While that’s certainly not their job now, the remnants of this history are evident in racial profiling.

According to the National Institute of Justice, “Research has verified that people of color are more often stopped than whites,” and police frequently patrol minority neighborhoods more than white ones.

Therin Showalter is a junior in media studies.

White people aren’t convicted of killing police or committing robbery and other violent crimes at a rate as high as blacks because police disproportionately target and interact with black neighborhoods.

The police would probably tell you that they do so because that’s where all the crime is, which, as I’ve shown, is due to poverty, not race.

So when we talk about the fact that blacks are executed on the street by police at a disproportionately high rate and about the percentage of violent crime committed by blacks, we need to be talking about every other social system and institution that affects these statistics.

I assure you, the amount of melanin in the pigments of a person’s skin does not determine behavior— criminality included. thshowal@indiana.edu @TherinShowalter

If it were 1956, this plot line would sell for a million bucks and win you dinner with Hollywood big shots.

Americans watch in horror as a presidential candidate, employed by the Russians as a kind of electoral Trojan Horse, seeks to dismantle the divine way of American life.

Absurdity aside, this has been the narrative blasting through the airwaves at the command of the Hillary Clinton campaign. In a new anti-Donald Trump video released by the Clinton campaign on Aug. 12, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough suggests Trump’s business is “built on Russian loans,” and this is why Trump refuses to release his tax returns.

Though Trump is likely refusing to make his taxes public because his welathy persona is less than it appears to be, there is no evidence that points to Trump being bankrolled by the Russian government.

Since the Democratic National Committee leaks, the media has cleverly twisted public opinion to create an actual fear that Russia is subverting this election. This is “The Russians are coming” paranoia at its zenith, but it’s working for Clinton.

The bloody Syrian proxy war between Russia and CIA-supplied rebels seems to validate anxieties about a reemerging Cold War. However, when people speak of Vladimir Putin’s aggression in Ukraine, I assume they aren’t considering the countless acts of aggression com-

mitted by the United States or are disregarding the historical and cultural ties eastern Ukraine has with Russia.

I also assume they don’t consider what would have happened if Putin hadn’t annexed Crimea.

Ukraine would have joined NATO, which would place troops on the UkraineRussia border, the back porch of the old Soviet Union.

I, unlike Trump, don’t intend to be an apologist for a Russian authoritarian, but we must acknowledge the full context of Putin’s decision making in regard to the eastward march of NATO. Funny enough, Joseph Stalin saw this coming. In 1952, the Soviet government sent a note to the West offering German reunification on the condition that “All armed forces of the occupying powers must be withdrawn from Germany ... all foreign bases on the territory of Germany must be liquidated.”

Stalin saw the threat posed to Moscow by a European military alliance and was willing to allow German reunification to stop it.

This is what the stage has been set for: Clinton takes office in January poised to go toe-to-toe with the Russians, and the public — having narrowly dodged Trump — is more than willing to give Clinton a mandate to wipe the Russians off the map once and for all. luwrobin@indiana.edu

IU Summer Theatre promotes professionalism

By Mallory Haag mjhaag@iu.edu

Productions ran longer for IU students and directors this summer during the IU Summer Theatre Program.

The program lengthens each production up to a twoweek run compared to the fall and spring productions’ five-day runs.

The program also emphasizes a professional approach to theater by paying all actors and following the Actors’ Equity Association regulations.

The Summer Theatre put on productions of “The King’s Critique,” “Sense and Sensibility,” “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown”

between June and August.

The production lengths aren’t the only part of the IU Summer Theatre that demand a greater commitment. The roles also offer a challenge for young actors.

“We work in rep, or repertory theater, meaning we rehearse and perform two shows at once,” said Nick Jenkins, who acted in “Sense and Sensibility” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

“Because you’re working on two different shows, you have multiple characters in your head. It can be a challenge to keep track of, but it’s a fun challenge, and it certainly helped me grow as an actor.”

These challenging

summer productions are not always met with a large crowd.

“You might not have a giant audience, and you might not have that support that they’re giving you,” said Deinlein. “One of my favorite sayings in the theater community is ‘You can’t hear a smile,’ so you have to trust that everyone is still having a good time.”

The program offers a chance for young actors to challenge themselves, interact with local and older actors and engage with new directors like Robert Chaplin of University of Virginia, who directed “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” “(The IU Summer Theatre) is a tried and true

challenge for professional actors that is not done as often as it should be,” said Dale McFadden, director of “Sense and Sensibility.” “It allows them to be at the top of their game.”

The selection process starts in November, according to Managing Director Drew Bratton. The plays and musicals are chosen at that time and auditions take place in February.

“I love doing it,” said Courtney Reid Harris, a junior and actress in the IU Summer Theatre Program.

“Everyone here is always kind and great.”

It wasn’t just the professionalism, but the sense of community that made an impression on Deinlein.

Harley Quinn portrayal trades strength for sexualization One of the most anticipated movies of the summer is a part of the DC Extended Universe: “Suicide Squad.”

This comes as no surprise to anyone who has even passively paid attention to what has been in theaters in the past decade.

Comic-book movies have been dominating the silver screen for so long that they are like westerns were to Baby Boomers.

These films typically develop ways of including subtle political commentary as a means of reflecting the times, which is always welcome in summer blockbusters. But if you’re going to be so modern, shouldn’t the film also be above using outdated patriarchal tropes?

A p p a r e n t l y ,“ S u i c i d e Squad” didn’t get the memo.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the film, and it’s probably the best DC film so far.

However, there was one particular character who proved herself a disappointment to fans from start to finish.

Enter Harley Quinn.

Quinn is perhaps the single most sought-after comic book character by fans since her television debut on “Batman: The Animated Series” in 1992.

We have wanted to see Quinn in the movies ever since, and we were disappointed when she never made an appearance in Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight” trilogy.

So when it was announced that Margot Robbie would be portraying her in “Suicide Squad” as a main character, it’s sufficient to say we were all excited — until we saw the costume of choice.

Completely throwing away her signature jester outfit, Quinn instead decides to wear hot pants, fish stockings and a T-shirt that reads “Daddy’s Lil Monster.”

Comic book fans exploded in rage at this revelation, and some have gone so far as to reject her as Harley Quinn and instead refer to the character as “Hot Topic Barbie.”

Even Robbie admitted she felt uncomfortable in the outfit.

Despite these concerns, this part didn’t bother me so much. It’s been years since Quinn has donned her classic outfit, and she has instead been wearing more revealing clothing, most notably in the “New 52” series of DC comics.

With that said, the problem is not the outfit, but how director David Ayer chose to portray the character. It’s about as empowering to women as previous

roles played by Robbie in movies like “Wolf of Wall Street” and “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.” That is to say, not at all.

The opening scene of this film shows Quinn performing erotic, burlesque gymnastics in her cell before flirting with a guard and seductively licking one of the cell bars.

Now, you could argue this is her tricking the guard into letting her out, but given that there were at least twenty other guards in the room with heavy firearms, that seems far from likely. Plus, I’m tired of hearing that excuse for lazy, juvenile writing.

She doesn’t get much more fleshed out from there.

We see Quinn in several other sexualized scenes, including a camera pan-up of her legs, hips and bra while she changes and a close-up of her bending over to pick up some stolen loot.

Where’s the justification for that? Why is it important for Ayer to include close-up shots of Quinn’s breasts and butt or to have her sexually harass the guards? It seemed unnecessary and out of character.

The biggest slap in the face, however, is the film’s utterly insulting depiction of Quinn’s relationship with the Joker.

In the original comics, Quinn was always depicted as a tragic figure stuck in a hideously abusive relationship with the Joker. He was known to beat her and psychologically torture her during their time together.

However, hardly a glimpse of that is shown in “Suicide Squad.” In fact, if you never saw “Batman: The Animated Series” or read any of the comics, you would think Joker and Quinn were just DC’s take on the Bonnie and Clyde story.

This has led to many cringe-worthy “relationship goals” posts featuring the two villains on social media, which is where I draw the line.

Over-sexualization is awful enough, but romanticizing abusive relationships is just plain revolting.

I understand Quinn is not supposed to be a role model.

She’s an evil psychopath who murders for sport.

But if you continue making exceptions for which women deserve fair representation, then Hollywood will only continue its patriarchal reign.

This is about all women, not just your favorites.

COURTESY OF WARNER BROS. PICTURE

Harley Quinn, portrayed by Margot Robbie, was the breakout star of Warner Bros. Pictures’/DC Comics’“Suicide Squad.”

On the drive to the airport, I felt the first hint of doubt about leaving my friends and family to spend 10 months in France.

The car ride passed fairly quickly after I weighed the amount of time I’ve anxiously spent waiting for this moment versus the time spent doubting it. Now, I’m ready to face this journey head-on and tackle any difficulties that might come my way with as much composure as a jet-lagged and luggage-laden 20-year-old can manage.

Leading up to this study abroad trip, I gave a lot of thought — maybe too much thought — as to what I wanted to get out of this experience. Aside from the obvious, like staying safe and not failing out of school, the number one goal I have is to become fluent in French.

Considering the length of my trip, I’m optimistic I can accomplish this.

This is my number one goal for a few reasons. First, I have been studying French for seven years now, and

I think it’s time to master it. Second, I want to communicate confidently with natives in Aix-en-Provence.

Finally, it will help me finish my French degree easily next year.

The next-highest goal on my list is also the reason I’m writing for the Indiana Daily Student this semester — I want to travel as much as possible.

All I ever hear is people wishing they had taken more opportunities to travel when they were younger, and I know this is my chance to see Europe.

Besides these two longterm goals, I have a few short-term goals I hope to accomplish.

The biggest and most closely looming is to lease an apartment in Aix. I’ve never even leased an apartment in the United States, so I don’t have any good idea of what I’m walking into. Let’s just hope I’m not too jet-lagged my second day in France, since that’s when I’ll be picking the apartment.

No pressure, though.

Rachel Rosenstock explores Aix-en-Provence during her first days abroad. She will be studying in France for a year.

My last goal is familiar to me, because I had the same one freshman year on campus in Bloomington — to become familiar with my new town.

I’ve never been further south in France than Paris, so the South is a completely new ball game for me.

I’ve done research and talked to past students, but I know the real test is how I’m able to navigate and communicate throughout the city.

One of my favorite as-

pects of learning a new language is learning the culture that comes with it, and the thing I hope for most is to feel a part of the lifestyle in Aix by the time I leave.

I hesitate to call that a goal, because I don’t think I can control that — it will just happen. Now I’ll just wait for the next 10 months to unfold and see when it does.

WOMEN’S SOCCER

Hoosiers look to end home losing streak

By Cameron Drummond cpdrummo@iu.edu | @cdrummond97

It has been 658 days since the IU women’s soccer team won a competitive match at Bill Armstrong Stadium. The winless drought stretches back to Oct. 31, 2014, when the Hoosiers defeated Michigan State 2-0 in their season finale.

The team’s last overall victory came 350 days ago in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, when it defeated Middle Tennessee State 2-0 in the Stomp in the Swamp tournament at Louisiana State University.

IU will look to end both of these streaks at 7 p.m. Friday when it plays Louisville to begin non-conference play for the 2016 season.

“This year’s team is young, they’re hungry and they’re competitive,” IU Coach Amy Berbary said. “It’s an exciting group of players to head into the season with.”

That group includes 11 freshmen and two redshirt freshmen. Therefore, this year’s squad will be young at just about every position on the field. To help these freshmen adjust to the team’s system and style of play, Berbary has leaned heavily on the team’s six upperclassmen to help set an example, including junior midfielder Kayla Smith.

“We have been trying to give pointers to help out the new players,” Smith said. “In

practice, I try to show them where to be positioned on the field.”

Smith was one of three Hoosiers, along with senior defenders Veronica Ellis and Marissa Borschke, to be named to the 2016 Big Ten Women’s Soccer Preseason Honors List.

However, while IU’s defense retains Ellis and Borschke for another season, the same can’t be said for the midfield, with last year’s leading goal scorer Jessie Bujouves lost due to graduation.

Goalkeeper will also be a position of intrigue for IU in 2016, as last year’s starter Sarah Stone was also lost to graduation.

Bristal Hadley-Mautino and Sarah L’Hommedieu, two freshmen, are in line to take over in the net for Stone, but Berbary has yet to make a final decision.

“It has been a real battle between the two of them for the starting spot,” Berbary said. “I still don’t know who will start on Friday. We may decide on game day. I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up playing them both.”

Friday’s match against the Cardinals will be the third all-time meeting between the schools, with the Hoosiers winning both prior meetings in 1994 and 1997.

Finding the back of the net has been a point of emphasis for the Hoosiers this past offseason, after scoring just 11 goals in 19 matches last season. IU was able to score twice in a 2-1 exhibition win at Cincinnati on Aug. 13, a game that sophomore defender Caroline Dreher thought built confidence for the team.

“There was a good energy around the team that I could sense during the Cincinnati game,” Dreher said. “I felt that we played well as a team.”

Berbary has made a conscious effort to try to improve the team’s scoring ability in the build-up to this season, as it is just three years removed from a season in

which it racked up 43 goals.

The Big Ten Women’s Soccer Preseason Coaches Poll lists IU at 12th, ahead of just Iowa and Maryland.

However, the prediction doesn’t phase Dreher.

“We have had a really good preseason,” Dreher said. “We are expecting to do big things this season.”

FIELD HOCKEY

IU prepares for season with two exhibitions

By Zain Pyarali zpyarali@iu.edu | @ZainPyarali

The IU field hockey team has spent an extensive amount of time together on and off the turf during the offseason as it strives to improve on its record-setting season from a year ago.

With a core group of players returning for IU Coach Amanda Janney’s second season in Bloomington and eight newcomers on the roster, the Hoosiers open their schedule with two exhibition games this weekend.

“We’ve put in so much work the past six months,” junior forward Maddie Latino said. “There were 16 of us here this summer all putting in work, whether it be in the classroom or just working out together.”

The Hoosiers will play their second annual Cream and Crimson scrimmage today. Members of the team will be split evenly in a full 70-minute game. IU will then travel to Muncie, Indiana, on Saturday to face Ball State in its final tune-up match before the regular season.

The scrimmages will give Janney time to figure out what strengths and weaknesses her

team possesses, and — with eight freshmen to incorporate into the new lineup — there will be a mixture of new faces that could see significant playing time in the future.

Latino, the team leader in goals last season, and senior forward Morgan Dye will be working with an inexperienced group up front.

Sophomore forward Claire Woods should see an increased role during her second year in the program after playing in every game and recording one goal and two assists off the bench last season. Freshman forwards Sam Scire and Ciara Girouard are also expected to play a key role in the offensive production for the Hoosiers in 2016.

“We have a lot of good freshmen that are well-adjusted and just want to score some goals,” Latino said. “It’s really comforting to know that there’s other people up top with me that can also contribute.”

The evolving offense has had an offseason of trying to score on sophomore and second team All-Big Ten goalkeeper Noëlle Rother.

In just her second year in the United States, the German shot-blocker who made

Then-sophomore midfielder Abby Urbanek runs for the ball against Rutgers on Oct. 10, 2015. IU beat Rutgers 1-0 to end its 2015 regular season.

114 saves in her freshman campaign has upped her game and the team feel better as a whole, her teammates said.

“She was training all summer at home, so I think she really brought that leadership back with her,” senior defender Kate Barber said. “She just

makes amazing saves, and it’s so comforting and nice to have the security there in the backfield.”

Barber, a unanimous first team All-Big Ten selection a season ago, created havoc on both ends of the pitch in 2015.

She not only was second on the team in scoring with eight

goals, but she also notched seven assists and was third on the team in defensive saves with two. The All-American third team selection also played a key role in the executions of penalty corners and figures to be on the attack again with Latino inserting the ball.

“We have a lot of freshmen coming in so we have a lot of adjusting to do, but I think they fit in well with the team and have brought a lot of positive aspects,” Barber said.

“Being an upperclassman is rewarding, but we have a lot of underclassmen to take care of and pull up with us.”

GOTT TAKES

Don’t just stick to sports, there’s more going on in the big picture Sports are stupid.

Hello, I’m Greg Gottfried, and I will be your new National Sports Columnist.

Back to our original thesis.

The inherent silliness of sports is obvious. We watch grown men and women chase after a ball for hours on end.

Channels with 24/7 programming are dedicated to this cause. Billions of dollars every year are spent on advertising to the sport fanatic.

In the grand scheme of things, your favorite sport isn’t really that important.

Whoever wins or loses won’t

actually change what happens in your life. You’ll still go to work or school the next day.

LeBron James and Serena Williams will carry on with their lives, and you will do the same.

Of course, I’m being hypocritical. My life is run by sports. I write, read, talk, text and tweet (or, name a verb) about sports on a daily basis.

It consumes me in the same way that it consumes countless individuals.

What I’m trying to convey is that sometimes we have to take a step back and truly un-

derstand where sports lie in the significance of life.

The phrase “stick to sports” has become a bit of a phenomenon in our current culture. Athletes, journalists and even some fans will be given this horrendous advice.

When trying to branch out into other realms — whether it be politics, current events or anything even a bit controversial — many will tell those who have ties to sports to stay in their lane and not give their opinion.

A recent example of this is from the most recent Excel-

Pizza | Pasta | Salads | Calzones | Sandwiches Italian Chicken Dinners | Gluten-Free Menu | Beer & Wine

lence in Sports Performance Yearly Awards. The extravagant and mostly unnecessary awards show made news this year for its opener. Standing on the stage were LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Chris Paul.

The quartet spoke about the problems facing the black community with gun violence and called for change and social justice. It was a powerful, important and transcending demand for action, which somehow, inanely, had detractors.

Telling athletes to stay in

their lane has been the norm for quite some time now, as many want to view sports and athletes as separate entities from the world they’re enveloped in. “Keep on throwing and kicking the ball to distract us from our problems.”

The complication with this worldview is that athletes aren’t just athletes; they’re fathers, mothers, sons, daughters and, most importantly, human beings who have as much right to speak about issues plaguing them as you and I. The fact that they have a larger platform shouldn’t

Greg Gottfrield is a senior in journalism.

discourage individuals from making a point and having a say.

Instead of jeering at athletes for speaking their mind, we should be applauding them for having the guts to want to be a part of the public discussion. It’s much easier to say nothing at all than have your thoughts be known on a national stage.

Let’s not stick to “sticking to sports.”
