SOA will close accounts next month
IU looks to take down Texas
By Joey Bowling jobowl@iu.edu | @jwbowling08
Student Organization Accounts will close by the end of next month due to the implementation of a 2016 Student Organization policy. With the policy, numerous changes affect university organizations and clubs’ operations. In addition to Student Organization Accounts closing, the policy changed the definitions of student organizations and clarified the role of advisers.

For the first time since the 201516 season, IU women’s basketball heard its name called on Selection Monday. The team will travel to Eugene, Oregon for the first round of the NCAA Tournament. IU was given the No. 10 seed, which sets up a game against the No. 7 seed University of Texas. The Longhorns were also ranked No. 23 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll at the end of the regular season, finishing with a 23-9 record and 12-6 conference record. “I don’t know a whole lot about them,” IU Coach Teri Moren said Monday. “They’re in the Big 12, and there’s tradition there. In the past, they’ve been a mainstay in the tournament.” This will be Texas’ sixth consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Overall, it will be the program’s 32nd all-time appearance, which ranks fourth out of all NCAA Division I programs. In those years, the Longhorns have gone 42-30 in the Big Dance. Texas’ 23-9 record makes this year the sixth consecutive season in which the Longhorns have reached 20 or more wins. As for IU, 20-12 overall and 8-10 in the Big Ten, this is the fourth consecutive season it has accumulated 20 or more wins, but just its second NCAA bid in those seasons. This will be IU’s sixth overall NCAA Tournament and second one SEE BASKETBALL, PAGE 6
Purdue bans apps, Netflix on campus By Abby Malala abbridge@iu.edu | @abbymalala
A slightly spaced-out student sits in class, staring absent-mindedly at their laptop. The professor is talking about an abstract topic, maybe advanced economics or quantum mechanics, but the student has officially tuned out. Maybe they decide this is the perfect time to catch up on their Netflix favorites. The new season of “Queer Eye” did just premiere. They drag their cursor to the Netflix icon, make a selection and press play. That is, as long as they don’t go to Purdue. Purdue University has banned a variety of music, video and gaming services on the school’s Wi-Fi after instructor complaints of the internet being too slow. The limited bandwidth has been blamed on streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. “The apps affected are currently Netflix, Hulu, Apple updates, iTunes, Pandora, iHeartRadio, HBO and Steam,” said Jim Bush, a spokesperson for Purdue. The ban has been in effect since Monday and affects Purdue’s main Wi-Fi system, PAL 3.0. However, a separate wireless stream called PAL-Recreational is still available for streaming in common areas in academic buildings, such as hallways and lounges, and the ban does not affect non-academic buildings such as residence halls. “I liken it to a carpool lane on a SEE NETFLIX, PAGE 6
‘An example’ IU-Bloomington School of Nursing to graduate first Latino male nursing student By Joey Bowling jobowl@iu.edu | @jwbowling08
IU senior Mark Casanova said he would never forget when he realized the meaning of being a nurse. He was in nursing school, observing a cesarean section during his junior year. He saw the doctor remove not one, but two babies from the mother that day, and it opened his eyes to the effect he could have on patients and the world. Casanova said he remembered the mother’s ecstatic face while holding her twin girls. He decided to start in a medical-surgical unit after graduation. IU-Bloomington’s first Latino male nurse, Casanova will graduate in May from the School of Nursing. He’s glad he’ll be able to serve as an example for other students of color, he said. Casanova said nursing attracted him because it allowed
him to get to know people as well as gain medical knowledge. Ever since he was a kid he wanted to do something medical, but Casanova said he wanted to be a nurse since his sophomore year of high school. Working in hospitals, which is part of nursing school, has only strengthened his de-

“All I could do is provide palliative care and sit next to them and hold their hand,” he said. “The littlest action I can do to provide them any type of comfort or assistance, it goes a long way.” Maricela Casanova, Mark’s mother, said she is proud of him, both because of how responsible he is and how studious he was. “He is an example for all of our kids, for his sister and for me as his mother,” Maricela Casanova said. “He has always achieved what he wants to do.” She said she doesn’t have a single favorite memory of him. Instead, any time she spends with him becomes her favorite because of how special he
SOA Accounts closing The Student Organization Accounts service provided bookkeeping and financial services for student organizations. This service ending has created the need for a business account for student organizations, said Jim Johnson, Student Involvement and Leadership Center associate director. Students now have to attach a Social Security Number to accounts at a bank they choose. Students have to close accounts by April 1 through either zeroing the balance or moving funds to an external account and filling out an account closure form, Johnson said. By that deadline, the form and all payment requests or extension requests must be filled out. Johnson said the final payments request must be submitted by April 17, and the final check must be picked up by April 30. If an organization expects funding after the April 1 deadline, it can request an extension but should still fill out an account closure form. Student organization definitions University entities are now defined as three types of student organizations: nonregistered, university and self-governed. Johnson said university student organizations are part of IU and subject to all policies. Self-governed student organizations are independent and free to exist at any time. SGSO leaders and advisers are responsible for all conduct and activity.

IU goes for 4th straight top 10 NCAA finish By Matt Cohen mdc1@iu.edu | @Matt_Cohen_
The decorated college career of senior breaststroker Lilly King will come to an end this weekend in Austin, Texas. King is part of a group of 17 IU athletes who qualified for the NCAA Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships. The Hoosiers enter the NCAA championships with momentum, coming off of a Big Ten title in February. IU has had a top 10 finish in each of the past three years at the NCAA championships, including the team’s best-ever finish, seventh, in 2015. IU will be expected to finish within the top 10 once again and have a shot to top its 7th place finish. King enters the meet coming off swimming the fastest time in history in the 100-yard breaststroke during the Big Ten championships. King did not taper before putting up her 55.88 second time, but she will for the NCAA championships. As a result, the record she set in Bloomington may not last for long. King is expected to win both the 100 and 200 breaststroke, completing her career sweep of the breaststroke events. IU has five total swimmers qualified in the two breaststroke events. The depth that IU has in those two events will give it a

chance to move up in the team standings as the team can rack up points. While King may be the only IU swimmer expected to win her event, there will be other swimmers with a chance to medal and put up high point totals for the team standings. Senior Bailey Andison has top six times in the nation in both the 200- and 400-yard individual medleys. While she might not be a favorite to win a title, Andison will be expected to be in the finals for both events. IU also hit NCAA A cut times in all four relays it qualified for.

yard medley relay, as well as the 200- and 400-yard freestyle relay. IU was able to upset Michigan in relays during the Big Ten championships. It may not be able to do that again with more of the nation’s top team in the pool, but IU does have a chance to sneak onto the podium. Senior diver Jessica Parratto is also qualified in all three diving events. Parratto won the platform dive championship in 2015, and placed second in 2017. The NCAA championships will also provide an opportunity for the next wave of IU swimmers to make a statement. Five freshmen

are part of the IU contingent. Noelle Peplowski and Mackenzie Looze are in the best position of the freshman to perform well in Austin this year. IU appears to be just outside the main group of favorites. Stanford University, the University of Texas at Austin, Michigan and the University of California, Berkeley look to be the top teams heading into the NCAA meet. A record team finish of sixth or better certainly looks possible for IU. The championships will take place from Wednesday-Saturday at the Lee and Joe Jamail Swimming Center on the campus of Texas.
