IU alum serves and protects with IUPD

By Amanda Marino ammarino@indiana.edu | @amandanmarino

When IU Police Department Officer Chris Collins graduated from high school in Auburn, Ind., in 2004, he planned to come to IU with the hope of eventually getting into law school.

He worked for his uncle’s law firm before he left, but upon arrival at IU, a friend told him about the IUPD Academy, the cadet program at IU. He said he was curious and liked the idea of making extra money, so he signed up for the program beginning his sophomore year.

“And then I got into it, and I kind of just fell in love with it,” Collins said.

Since August 2005, when he began working with the cadet program while working toward majors in political science and criminal justice, Collins has been a part of IUPD. Collins said cadets are the eyes and ears of the officers, and they need to be CPR certified and work on radio skills. Cadets act more as a uniform presence in locations such as the library and at events like football and basketball games.

Cadet training is a prelude to a summer spent at the police academy, Collins said. Following that, cadets are fully certified and expected to remain full-time students while working part time at IUPD. After graduating from IU in 2008, Collins was hired full time by the department in 2009 to work street patrol. He maintained this position through November 2011 when he was promoted to field training officer and canine handler.

“My primary job is patrol officer,” he said.

Tery, Collins’ dog, has been working with him for three years.

His fifth birthday was Sunday.

“I don’t know what I’m gonna do for him yet,” Collins said, smiling at the thought of his 82-pound German Shepherd.

Tery is trained for tracking and explosive detection, so he rarely gets put to work, Collins said.

Despite that, Tery is always ready.

Collins said he never really had any negative experiences with IUPD prior to working with them, mainly because his cadet program began during his sophomore year.

He recalled seeing IUPD show up to an incident at Forest Quad his freshman year, but he said they didn’t have an effect on his decision to join the IUPD Police Academy the following year.

Though Collins is currently working on the day shift, he said he had been on the night shift before.

“Day shift is kind of a relief for me,” he said.

To Collins, the night shift consists of different people doing the same thing almost every single night. There are a lot of things he said he cannot “unsee” from his time working nights.

“It’s more entertaining on the night shift for sure,” he said.

Collins said his day begins at 7 a.m. with roll call and briefings.

In those briefings, officers are told what kind of things took place during the previous two shifts and what they should be on the lookout for.

As an example, Collins said if a hit-and-run accident should occur during the night involving a blue truck with a certain license plate number, day shift officers are told to be on the lookout for that truck during their shifts.

After briefings, he said officers are sent out to complete their own tasks until 3 p.m. when the shift ends.

“Everybody has their own little schedule,” Collins said.

Most officers have to set up their squad cars for the day by putting their equipment inside how they want it to be arranged, but Collins said his car is already prepped. He drives a take-home vehicle because SEE IUPD, PAGE 6

NEXT GAME: IU MEN’S SOCCER at Rutgers (5-3) 7 p.m. Saturday, Yurcak Field

IU continued its defensive prowess Wednesday, drawing against Butler 0-0.

It was the fourth shutout of the season for IU and came against a Butler attack which has found the back of the net.

“Keeping the shutouts and getting the bagels has been something that we talk about every day,” freshman Grant Lillard said. “It’s something we hold very close to ourselves and is something we take great pride in.”

Butler had the better of the chances in the first half, highlighted by a trio of chances in about a two-and-a-half minute span.

With about 20 minutes remaining in the first half, Butler sophomore David Goldsmith tried to flick a cross on towards goal, but he failed to get it inside the near post.

Two minutes later Webb was called into action for the first time in the match, as he parried away a shot out of bounds from about 25 yards out.

The resulting corner found the head of Butler senior Zach Steinberger, and his header sailed just wide of the post.

After halftime, IU’s attack began to control the pace of the game.

However, with all the shots taken from the chances, IU only managed to get five on frame against Butler goalkeeper Andy Holte, who was making his first start of the season.

“Some of them were a little ill-advised from distance,” IU Coach Todd Yeagley said. “Maybe make another pass ... some of those shots weren’t really great opportunities.”

On the hour mark of the match, Yeagley’s substitution of freshman Brad Shaw changed the tone of the match.

IU began to look more dangerous going forward and started to create quality chances.

“I don’t think he’s nervous, he just goes out and competes,” Yeagley said.

“He’s an athlete who has got some instincts. He makes things happen with his pace, his strength and his ability to beat guys off the dribble.”

Just a few minutes after entering the match, Shaw made a run down the left side a played a ball into junior Femi

Food, erotic desire, District 7 weighs in on health care lingerie at Kinsey

By Emily Ernsberger emelerns@indiana.edu @emilyernsberger

A lack of documentation will cost many people in the United States their health care coverage, including many Hoosiers.

Across the nation, 115,000 people are in danger of losing their health care coverage through the Federal Marketplace program.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced Monday that 966,000 people had been contacted earlier this year to send in citizenship and immigration documentation. The deadline to turn in the documents is Sept. 30.

The Federal Marketplace is an option for citizens to get government-assisted health care coverage if they don’t have private insurance.

Candidates for District 7 U.S. Representative in Indiana have weighed in on this crossroads issue between health care and immigration.

District 7 covers the Indianapolis area.

Of those in danger of not being covered by the end of the month, 1,600 are from Indiana. This is down

from the 5,100 total that were initially contacted in May. However, the CMS said those who return documents after the deadline could be eligible for a special enrollment period to receive coverage.

Rep. André Carson, D-Ind., voted for the Affordable Care Act. “While undocumented immigrants are not eligible for Marketplace coverage, I am hopeful that all of the individuals who are eligible were able to receive the assistance they needed to submit a complete application,” Carson said in an email.

He also said the large number of people losing their coverage because they do not have citizenship and immigration documentation is evidence of a need for immigration reform.

“These people are living and working among us but without a path to citizenship are unable to fully contribute to our economy,” Carson said.

Catherine Ping, Republican candidate for District 7 representative who is against the Affordable Care Act, shared her own views.

“If they’re not a citizen, they’re

not entitled to the program,” Ping said. “It wasn’t designed for them.

It was designed for those who are in the country legally.”

Along with the loss of some people’s coverage, Ping said she is anticipating the follow-up of people who are going to be taxed for their lack of coverage, such as herself.

“I’m going to be one of those people, and I’m OK with that,” Ping said.

Ping said she has a preexisting condition that is not covered by a lot of insurance agencies, and that federal market place coverage “isn’t any better.”

If chosen to serve in office, Ping said she would like to propose a cooperative program for small businesses to be able to purchase insurance from major medical companies.

Libertarian candidate Chris Mayo could not be reached for comment.

Sexual and erotic desire in the form of artwork and food will be presented for the public to observe at the Kinsey Institute.

The Kinsey Institute will open two exhibitions titled “The Taste of Seduction” and “Undress Me” 4:30 to 7 p.m. Friday in Morrison Hall.

Kinsey Institute Curator Catherine Ann Johnson-Roehr said the institute will use both of its galleries to showcase its collection of art and artifacts to teach people about sexual expression in art.

“Our primary objective is to share pieces with the public which are meant to be educational but also interesting and enjoyable,” Johnson-Roehr said. “We like to use our gallery to show our own material and let people know what we have in our archives.”

The exhibit “The Taste of Seduction” will examine the enjoyment of food and drink with romance and sex.

Kinsey curators will display a

collection of depictions of food and beverages that includes more than 50 photographs, prints, paintings, artifacts and ceramic and glass objects that all relate to the consumption of food and beverages and its association with sexual desire, romantic love and seduction, according to the institute’s website.

This exhibition is linked to the 2014 Themester “Eat, Drink, Think: Food from Art to Science.”

“This reception will provide the opportunity to sample various foods and drinks associated with romance and seduction, such as chocolate, honey and oysters,” Johsnon-Roehr said. “We will have information about the various foods and our researchers will be on hand to answer questions about the effectiveness of aphrodisiacs.”

Instead of catering, the gallery will put out aphrodisiac foods that are said to have a stimulating effect with romance and seduction. Examples of these foods are oysters, chocolate, chili peppers, bananas, SEE KINSEY, PAGE 6

Geoffrey Stone, professor of law at the University of Chicago, gives a lecture at the IU Maurer School of Law titled “Inside the NSA: Liberty and Security in a Changing World” as part of the law school’s Constitution Day celebrations.

Law School hosts Constitution Day

By Lindsay Moore liramoor@indiana.edu @_lindsaymoore

In celebration of the 10th annual Constitution Day, the Maurer School of Law invited students and faculty to learn about national security and privacy from someone who advised President Obama.

Students and faculty filled the Moot Courtroom to hear the lecture “Inside the NSA: Liberty and Security in a Changing World” given by University of Chicago law professor Geoffrey Stone on Wednesday afternoon.

Obama chose Stone in August 2013 to serve on a five-member group reviewing different intelligence and communication technologies, according to the University.

Stone’s lecture addressed post-9/11 security and how this affected the presidential review group’s decisions about future intelligence security.

Stone quoted former Secretary of State James Baker’s analogy comparing

national security to being a soccer goalie. The challenge, though, is the opposing team and the ball are invisible and can score at any angle.

“What we ordinarily rely on to keep ourselves safe is deterrence,” Stone said.

“People know if they do something bad to us, we will do something bad to them.

That usually deters them from doing something bad to us in the first place. After 9/11 it became clear that there is no deterrence.”

The review group worked for five days a week for four months before finally submitting its document to Obama.

The more than 300-page document included 46 recommendations decided unanimously by the group, Stone said.

These recommendations were made in hindsight, adhering to the nation’s bettersafe-than-sorry approach to national security, Stone said.

“Whenever we as a nation have faced a crisis that has threatened our people, we have, human nature be-

ing what it is, overreacted,” Stone said. “Our job was to go back and, knowing that the dangers are real and the threats are serious and potentially grave, that we went too far.”

Stone discussed some recommendations the president supported, such as the protection of the NSA’s metadata program in which the NSA has an enormous database of phone call records.

To prevent future abuse of this information, the review group suggested the metadata be held by a private or third-party entity, Stone said.

Furthermore, Stone said if the NSA wanted access to the metadata they would have to get the equivalent of a warrant from a judge to get it.

“One thing that shocked me was that I found the NSA to be an institution with a high degree of integrity,” Stone said.

Stone also mentioned recommendations the president did not take, such as putting restrictions on the FBI’s national security letter

“Whenever we as a nation have faced a crisis that has threatened our people, we have, human nature being what it is, overreacted.”

usage.

This would mean the FBI would have to get a court order before obtaining personal records for people of interest. As it stands, the FBI has the authority to do this on its own, Stone said.

After his talk, Stone answered questions from students about online security, what branch of government the recommendations were specified for and if there was any hope of citizens gaining back privacy rights.

“It’s a very seductive world of national security,” Stone said. “It’s very easy to start looking at the question of ‘Are we following the authorities correctly?’ rather than ‘Have we given the right orders?’”

Mohammad Fahad alQahtani graduated from IU with his Ph.D. in economics in 2002, and in 2009 he co-established the largest independent human rights organization in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Civil and Political Rights Association.

The rights he fought to get for others have been taken away from him, as he currently sits in a Saudi prison with a 10-year sentence and travel ban for “planting seeds of sedition,” “breaking allegiance with the ruler,” “defaming the judiciary” and “turning international organizations against the Kingdom,” according to the University.

A panel assembled in Wylie Hall of the IU campus Wednesday afternoon to discuss whether the United States can afford to intervene in the human rights struggle in Saudi Arabia.

IU Vice President Emeritus of International Affairs Patrick O’Meara moderated a panel consisting of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Karen Elliot House, former U.S. Congressman and Director of the Center on Congress Lee Hamilton and Eric Goldstein of Human Rights Watch.

O’Meara addressed the audience before the panel. As he reflected on what kind of man al-Qahtani is, he said he began to ponder questions concerning people who risk so much for human rights.

“I keep asking myself, why do people do it? Fame?

Financial gain?” O’Meara said. “Absolutely not, they do it for some kind of deep conviction.”

As House opened up the discussion she began to describe a man she knows as a friend. She began to tear up when discussing his children and the reality that if he was to complete the 10-year sentence, his daughter would go the first decade of her life without seeing her father.

As she shifted the discussion to the early moments of their friendship, she noted how coming to America really changed al-Qahtani’s life.

“He managed to avoid pork in the U.S., but he picked up a desire for freedom,” House said. “He said he wanted his children to inherit and live in a different Saudi Arabia.”

Although al-Qahtani is Muslim, Goldstein reiterated his case is not about religion.

It is about someone fighting for human rights, she said.

The panel was part of a mini-conference on human rights, all in al-Qahtani’s honor, according to the University.

The conference also included a lecture from House.

It was sponsored by The School of Global and International Studies, the Center for the Study of the Middle East, the political science and economics departments, the Middle Eastern Law Student Association and anonymous donors.

Al-Qahtani’s lawyer, Abdulaziz Alhussan, acknowledged in a phone interview that his client’s ties to IU give him the belief that the University will support him in this hard time.

He also said U.S. citizens can support al-Qahtani by sending messages to the Saudi government, the Royal Court or the Ministry of the Interior. Organizations are also encouraged to release public statements concerning al-Qahtani and his release, Alhussan said.

Although his client is currently serving a 10-year sentence, Alhussan said he was cautiously optimistic concerning the duration of alQahtani’s time in prison.

“I think there is a good chance that he will be released before the sentence is completed,” Alhussan said.

“But with the current situation of the political arena, we are not really sure.”

Hamilton said he believes America has the ability to intercede in this matter and he is looking for them to do so.

“I want to see the United States stand with the oppressed, and I want to see us stand against the oppressor,” Hamilton said. “I want to see us speak out and bring pressure where we can.”

IU alum, Silicon Valley entrepreneur to lecture tonight

By Alexis Daily aledaily@indiana.edu | @AlexDaily1

Tony Conrad, an entrepreneur and venture capitalist who works in Silicon Valley, will return to his home state to give a presentation in the Indiana Memorial Union’s Whittenberger Auditorium at 7 p.m. tonight.

The event, co-sponsored by the Indiana University Alumni Association and Union Board, is free and open to the general public, according to Union Board.

Conrad was an initial investor in WordPress, which fuels the majority of blogs around the world.

Through his firm True Ventures, he has funded companies such as FitBit,

Flickr, Blue Bottle Coffee and High Fidelity.

“We’re super focused on the quality of the founder,” Conrad said. “Personally, when I meet with entrepreneurs, I like to understand their background, what they’ve done with the opportunities life has presented them and what makes them tick. I’ve been lucky to partner and support some amazingly talented founders in our communities.”

More recently, Conrad has developed the social media website About.me.

On the website, individuals can create a public profile and encourage others to connect with them.

“Online has become the most effective environment for people to discover and

interact with you at scale, and we believe it’s incredibly important to have a starting point online for people to learn more about you,” Conrad said. “The popularity of social media has really fragmented our identities in ways that don’t align with the 360-degree view we have of ourselves.”

Conrad said his team is launching three new features in the upcoming months, including a new iPhone app that turns a profile into a digital business card and the ability to attach resumes to the bottoms of pages.

“You should navigate people interested in learning more about you to a page that introduced you on your terms, not leaving it to focused services or a

said. “My four years at IU was truly a meaningful experience that has served me very well in my life.”

Emili Sperling, alumni programs officer in the IUAA, said Conrad is a guest of the Dean’s Advisory Council within the School of Informatics and Computing.

She said the board is meeting Friday, and Conrad reached out to IUAA to see if he could present to students before the meetings.

“It’s incredible to me how Tony came from those humble Hoosier roots and grew into one of the most well-known venture capitalists in Silicon Valley,” Sperling said. “Tony is a prime example of how IU alumni support one another and

Union Board Vice President of Marketing Paul Yoon said he hopes to learn what specific things Conrad considers before making business decisions as well as how Conrad nurtures growing businesses to be successful.

“Because we share the same experience and love for IU, I believe that his lecture will be very rewarding,” Yoon said.

Indiana’s dramatic shifts in gas prices are due to a business practice known as price cycling, according to two petroleum analysts.

The tactic, also known as the Edgeworth price cycle, occurs when retail gas stations rapidly cut the price of gas per gallon in order to undercut competitors. The dramatic drop in price is then followed by a dramatic price increase.

Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan, of gasbuddy. com, said the price cycles occur every one to two weeks.

Retail gas prices are tracked nationwide by gasbuddy.com.

“It’s because of a very viscous behavior that we call price cycling that Indiana can be above and below the national average,” DeHaan said.

“It really just depends on what snapshot you’re looking.”

According to statistics from gasbuddy.com, the average price for a gallon of gas in Indiana was $3.46 Sept. 4. Two days later, the price per gallon increased to $3.58, only to decrease to $3.40 Sept. 16.

Meanwhile, the national average price of a gallon of gas remained steady, dropping about six cents in 12 days.

According to Gregg Laskoski, also a senior petroleum analyst with gasbuddy.com, prices can increase as much as $0.10 to $0.15 a gallon in one night in the Great Lakes region.

“There’s no question that the Great Lakes region has the greatest swings in prices,” Laskoski said. “You have the most volatility. You have the highest peaks and lowest valleys in relation to other states.”

Laskoski said large gas

retailers can even take losses when they drop gas prices really low because they make up the lost revenue by drawing customers to their convenience stores.

“Much of the time what they’re trying to do is drive the traffic into their store,” Laskoski said. “They could even be taking a loss on the gasoline if they can gain greater profit

margins on the merchandise they sell inside the stores.”

Given that many consumer goods travel on trucks fueled by gasoline, unstable gas prices can have a significant

financial effect on consumers, even those who do not drive.

“There’s no question that gas prices are a very significant benchmark for the U.S. economy,” Laskoski said.

Fifteen riders began cycling Wednesday for seven hours a day across the state to benefit local troops, stopping at six locations, including Bloomington.

In its first year, Ride Indiana will span five days and cover nearly 500 miles, according to Wish for our Heroes. The trek through Indiana began in Warsaw, Ind., and will end Sept. 21 at Indianapolis’s Monument Circle.

The team will pass through Bloomington on Friday, arriving from Lafayette around 3 p.m., according to the Wish for Our Heroes website.

Riders will leave the next morning at 8:30 a.m. to cover 77.5 miles from Bloomington to Columbus, Ind. Proceeds raised from the journey will contribute to Wish for Our Heroes, a Noblesville, Ind.-based charity whose goal is to help 500 Hoosier military families with the money, according to the group’s website.

The charity has formed a national partnership with the Kroger Co., this year’s title sponsor, and will be supported by local businesses along the way.

Today from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., Nick’s English Hut will donate 10 percent of all sales to the charity, according to the release.

Due to issues calculating excise taxes, the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles must refund $29 million to residents.

BMV issues $29 million refund after miscalculation

By Anicka Slachta aslachta@indiana.edu | @ajslachta

The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles announced Sept. 16 that it had made a $29 million mistake.

“The BMV has determined that some Hoosiers’ vehicles were misclassified for excise tax purposes,” said Don Snemis, commissioner of the Indiana BMV, in a BMV press release. “As a result, those customers overpaid excise taxes when registering their vehicles.”

The BMV will be working with the Indiana Department of Revenue to issue excise tax refunds to customers who are entitled to them, according to the release.

In Indiana, vehicles are classified by determining the value of the automobile and then entering that value into a database known as the BMV System Tracking and Record Support system.

The value of a vehicle is determined by combining the price of the car and an “adjustment factor” based

on Consumer Price Index data, the release said.

The misclassification of vehicles, Snemis explained in the release, is a mishap that dates back to 2004 “when the BMV’s System Tracking and Record Support computer system was implemented on a limited basis,” he said.

The system wasn’t completely up and running until 2006.

Since that year, the BMV has collected about $3.4 billion in excise taxes, according to the release.

The total damage done in this instance — about $29 million, plus interest — is thought to have affected about 180,000 people.

The state also plans to refund all interest, the release said.

When asked about the numbers in regard to Bloomington, Indiana BMV Executive Director of Communications Josh Gillespie said little is known so far about different regions of the state.

“We’re still putting to-

What went wrong?

Read IDS columnist Andrew Gunther’s take, page 4 gether all the data,” he said.

“We don’t have localized data yet.”

All misclassified vehicles will be reclassified with correct data, Snemis said in the release.

“Anyone who overpaid will be notified by mail and provided a pre-printed claim form, per Indiana law, to obtain a refund with interest,” he said. “Hoosiers affected by this miscalculation can expect to receive a letter within about 30 days.”

Gillespie also underlined the 30-day time frame, saying once this information disseminates there will be more localized data available.

Gov. Mike Pence has authorized Snemis to hire a consulting firm with the goal of auditing the BMV’s “processes, procedures and STARS system,” according to the release.

Jesus, take the wheel

Equal in every way CARMEN HEREDIA RODRIGUEZ is a junior in journalism.

The recent string of domestic violence incidents involving NFL players has rocked the sporting world and revealed the indifference with which our culture deals with violence.

Allegations regarding a possible coverup orchestrated by the NFL commissioner have surfaced.

If these allegations are found to be true, they will confirm a troubling revelation into what an organization that millions of Americans support truly values: revenue.

However, I believe the NFL’s lethargic response to these incidents is a symptom of a greater issue that continues to thrive in American culture today: gender inequality.

The objectification of women must stop.

Women are not animals to be looked down upon.

Women are not toys to be played with and controlled.

Women are not children to be patronized and ignored and disrespected.

Women are women, made in the image of the same creator that gave males the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Women are beautiful, complex and strong.

Women are capable of achieving any feat.

Women are not to be treated as trophies, as no accolade can encompass the worth of a good woman. Women are worthy of respect and understanding, especially in times of vulnerability.

For a woman who has the courage to risk and fall in front of others also possesses the courage to risk and reach excellence.

Our culture has reached a point in which women playing to the stereotype of the submissive housewife are celebrated, yet regarded as less than human.

Our culture has also reached a point in which the stereotype of the brawny breadwinner is the standard of excellence males must strive to achieve.

The objectification of men must stop.

Men are not dogs to wrinkle your nose at.

Men are not toys to mold to your ideals and standards.

Men are not ATM machines to depend on.

Men are men, made in the image of the same Creator that gave women the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Men are beautiful, complex and strong.

Men are capable of achieving any feat.

Men are not to be treated as trophies, as no prize could encompass the worth of a good man.

Men are worthy of respect and understanding, especially in times of vulnerability, for a man who has the courage to risk and fall in front of others also possesses the courage to risk and reach excellence.

If we don’t recognize these similarities, nothing will change.

In order to effectively address incidents of domestic violence in this nation, it is essential that we, both men and women, start viewing one another as what we truly are.

Consume with care WE SAY: Everyone needs to be media literate Perhaps being cool has taken on a new meaning in schools these days.

If you want to show off, beat someone up. If you want to really show off, film yourself beating someone up.

Last week in Delaware, for example, two teenage boys beat up a 26-year-old with Williams syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder, while another filmed it.

This phenomenon may be an extension of neglected children acting out, but if you’re like most parents wondering where kids get such ideas, it really isn’t a confounding question.

According to the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, the typical American child will view more than 200,000 acts of violence, including 16,000 murders, before the age of 18.

Along with a slew of other factors during early development, these random acts of violence may be the result of unrefined consumption of prolonged media exposure.

The violence is here to stay:

ratings are just too good. And we can’t un-see terrible things for kids who watch too much television unaccompanied.

But we can teach children to be media literate.

Media literacy is pretty much what it sounds like: an understanding of the pallete media conglomerates use to paint what could easily be perceived as reality.

In laymen’s terms, it means not taking what you see for face value.

This literacy can be applied to advertisements, movies, news, video games, magazines and any other representation designed to engage us.

The American Psychological Association warns of prolonged exposure to media violence, as it increases the likelihood of children becoming less sensitive to the pain of others and more fearful of the world conceptually.

We can stimulate the discussion of placing mediarelated events into context so that kids will not only have a greater understanding of the world around them but also

know better how to interact with it.

If we can encourage kids to ask more permeating questions, like what economic and cultural factors play into a small-town riot or why a nation would hope to secede from another, then the media consumed has a better chance of being humanized and thus attributed a value of its own.

Many news outlets make weak attempts at humanizing a story.

Normally they’ll pull someone from a crowd and record their general reaction, which barely suffices in presenting the range of emotions felt in that instance.

These outlets realize that the attention span of the average viewer is quite brief, so context is sacrificed for fastpaced, superficial coverage.

Media literacy has yet to become a topic of study in primary school but, as relatives and friends, we can accompany kids’ viewing of television and Internet to give them something that all kids need:

guidance and perspective.

It’s common knowledge how innately sponge-like kids are, so limiting the amount and access to media violence they have in those first precious, care-free years may make all the difference.

Desensitization to violence may be inevitable, but children have the right to be kept from such emotional apathy until they come of age.

The 14-year-old who filmed his two friends beating up someone with Williams syndrome turned himself in and identified his friends.

Think of how many kids know better but succumb to peer pressure in the heat of the moment and are forced to grapple with consequences they can’t understand.

Our generation has a responsibility that our parents never had. The Internet provides access to an unlimited array of wonderful and awful things.

That degree of accessibility comes with an implicit responsibility to view and publish with care.

GUENTHER WITH AN “E”

Driving BMV investigations forward Everyone hates going to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles in Indiana.

There’s always a long line, the attendant is less than enthused to see you and everyone in the waiting area is coughing for some reason that’s probably contagious.

You usually leave feeling a little accomplished for conquering what was sure to be the worst part of your day.

Unfortunately, recent events have come to light that show us that we may have more reasons to hate the BMV than we originally thought.

Since 2004, according to BMV Commissioner Don Snemis, the BMV has been overcharging Indiana motorists in excise tax.

These overcharges total more than $29 million from about 180,000 Indiana motorists.

The BMV stated that its automatic computer system didn’t apply the appropriate Consumer Price Index-based adjustment factor when calculating how much drivers owed in taxes.

This is unacceptable on the most basic levels. One of the BMV’s main purposes is to manage and levy taxes that relate to motor vehicles.

However, the BMV hasn’t just been caught overcharging motorists with excise taxes.

Last August, the BMV settled a class-action lawsuit by agreeing to refund $30 million to drivers they overcharged for operator’s licenses.

That means that, during the past year, the BMV has admitted to overcharging Hoosier drivers almost $60 million.

Former BMV Deputy Di-

rector Matthew Foley testified under oath on video that he told top BMV officials the agency was overcharging motorists.

Foley alleged the officials took no steps to refund Hoosiers due to budget concerns.

Earlier this week, the BMV requested a gag order, or an order banning the release of information to the public, regarding the taped dispositions by Foley.

The BMV is one of the most commonly recognized and utilized agencies in the state of Indiana. It serves millions of Hoosiers who should be able to trust the agency.

But it appears the BMV has been on too long of a leash for its own good. Now, the agency has tangled thousands upon thousands of Hoosiers in a complicated web of inaccurate charges and re-

funds.

The BMV, and everyone with a moderate amount of influence over the agency, should be thoroughly investigated. Foley’s allegations call into question the honesty of our state government.

Now, county governments, the main recipients of the excise tax, will face an estimated $6 million budget cut during the next two years.

The government of Indiana needs to be more transparent and more open to improvement. Otherwise, we’ll keep hurting our citizens, in more ways than one. ajguenth@indiana.edu

A Pennsylvania teen faces two years in a juvenile facility for simulating oral sex with a statue of Jesus.

Teenagers are stupid, but the venerated objects statute in the state of Pennsylvania is more stupid.

The teen is charged with desecrating a venerated object, citing a 1972 statute that criminalizes “the desecration, theft or sale of a venerated object” as a second-degree misdemeanor.

Pennslyvania law defines desecration as the “defacing, damaging, polluting or otherwise physically mistreating in a way that the actor knows will outrage the sensibilities of persons likely to observe or discover the action,” according to Americans United.

Oh, you’re a violent offender? House arrest for you. You did what to a statue of our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ? To prison, heathen.

This has to be a violation of something in the Constitution. And, yes, actually, it is.

The establishment clause: no laws shall be made respecting an establishment of religion.

If the same boy simulated oral sex with, I don’t know, a statue of Budha or Muhammad this venerated objects statue wouldn’t apply. Not a chance.

These objects are still venerated by some people, though, namely, Buddhists and Muslims. So, by all intents and purposes, this statute should apply. But it wouldn’t.

Because Christianity is the religion practiced by the majority of Americans that practice religion, it takes precedence over others. Unconstitutional precedence, but precedence nonetheless.

The Hobby Lobby case, gay marriage bans, overtly Christian Hollywood movies — the list goes on. We can’t escape the influence of the Almighty machine.

They’re saying that America is more secular than it’s ever been. Where, exactly? I don’t see it. Individuals may be more secular than they used to be, but the country itself sure isn’t.

This country’s obsession with all things holy is holding it back.

A statue of Jesus is just that: a statue, a mere symbol, something that can’t be described by mere language, according to Christians. I’m pretty sure it was God that said something like “there shall be no idols before me.”

Isn’t a statue kind of like an idol? Treating a statue as a venerated object is idolizing the statue itself.

If one is confident in the heavenly being that one worships, a kid pulling a stupid prank involving a symbol of that being shouldn’t bother one.

So maybe that’s why this kid faces juvenile time: because Christians are losing confidence in a growing secular world. Maybe it’s some kind of last-ditch effort to stay relevant.

I’m not trying to bash Christians here, but maybe they need a reality check.

Maybe we all need a reality check. If American citizens are going to have the right to believe whatever they wish, as they should, any one of these beliefs should not take precedent more than the others.

In an ideal country, the government shouldn’t even acknowledge their existence.

But until then, heed this advice: keep your teenage boys away from any and all statues. zipperr@indiana.edu

Field hockey extends winning streak to six IU field hockey improved to 6-0 on the season after a shutout win against Ball State 2-0 on Wednesday.

Senior forward Audra Heilman scored first for IU off a pass from midfielder Karen Lorite in the 36th minute.

Four minutes later, junior Sydney Supica added a goal of her own to put IU up by two goals.

For Heilman, the goal was the ninth of the young season. She had 10 goals all of last season for the Hoosiers.

Freshman climbs to top of IU depth chart

By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen

J-Shun Harris II’s college football career didn’t exactly start as planned.

The freshman wide receiver started the season lining up as a punt returner Aug. 30 against Indiana State.

In his first touch in game action, Harris lost sight of the ball as it soared through an overcast sky.

By the time he gathered himself, he was out of position. He had misjudged the trajectory and fumbled the ball on his first touch.

Not exactly the ideal start for a freshman looking to prove himself in front of teammates and a home crowd.

“I misjudged it, honestly,” Harris said. “My coaches and everybody, they really helped me out as soon as I got back to the sideline. As soon as it happened, they picked me up and said ‘Go on to the next play.’”

Harris can laugh about the muffed punt now.

He caught seven passes for 68 yards, highlighted by a 22-yard touchdown grab, in last week’s 45-42 loss at Bowling Green.

Nearly three weeks removed from his less-thanideal debut, Harris has quickly moved up to the top of the IU slot-receiver depth chart.

That means come Saturday against Missouri, Harris will likely be starting alongside senior wideout Shane Wynn.

It’s only appropriate, considering it was Wynn who helped inspire Harris to come to Bloomington in the first place.

Harris thinks it’s funny.

The 5-foot-8-inch, 162-pound Fishers, Ind., native is built nearly identically to the 5-foot-7-inch, 167-pound Wynn.

Standing together on the sidelines, it’s hard to tell the two apart if not for their jersey numbers.

“It’s really weird how we’re like the same height, same size, same weight,” Harris said. “He really paved

the way for me knowing as a little guy that I can compete with these bigger guys.”

IU offensive coordinator Kevin Johns and junior quarterback Nate Sudfeld have both lauded the Harris’ eagerness to learn and adapt to what is a rather complex Hoosier offense.

Wynn, who primarily returned kicks as a freshman, said Harris is already playing by instinct, a trait sometimes hard for younger guys to pick up.

“He came in as a freshman doing a lot of things I couldn’t do,” Wynn said.

“He’s playing fast. He’s not thinking. He’s already prepared to play in the big games.”

The perpetual challenge for smaller receivers like Harris is finding ways to get open against defensive

IU can’t overcome errors, falls to IUPUI

By Evan Hoopfer ehoopfer@indiana.edu @EvanHoopfer

Even though IU lost to IU-Purdue University Indianapolis Wednesday night, the Hoosiers actually recorded more kills than the Jaguars.

But IU volleyball had 32 hitting errors, double the amount IUPUI had. The Hoosiers also had 13 service errors, opposed to just six for the Jaguars.

“When you give a team that many points and you’re not forcing them to earn a lot of points, you’re putting yourself in a deficit right away,” IU Coach Sherry Dunbar-Kruzan said.

IU (7-2) suffered its second loss of the season against IUPUI (5-7), falling in four sets Wednesday night on IUPUI’s home floor.

The IUPUI marketing team billed the game as “Pack the House” night, in an attempt to attract a large student crowd on the Indianapolis campus.

The Jaguars gym, known as the “The Jungle,” packed 752 people and was loud the entire night, Dunbar-Kruzan said.

She compared the atmosphere to a Big Ten game.

The Big Ten conference is renowned as the nation’s best volleyball conference and known for its raucous crowds.

At the end of the game when IUPUI recorded an ace to win the match, students and one male who was wearing only a Speedo

swarmed the Jaguar team in celebration on the court.

This was the first time the IUPUI program has ever defeated IU. Before Wednesday’s defeat, the Hoosiers had previously been 4-0 alltime against the Jaguars.

Dunbar-Kruzan expressed her displeasure with her team’s attitude during the game. She said it wasn’t so much of a volleyball issue as it was a problem with her team’s psyche.

Even though the atmosphere was loud and both team’s adrenaline levels were high, Dunbar-Kruzan said that wasn’t the reason her team didn’t perform accordingly.

“I don’t think (the crowd) bothered us,” she said. “Not as much as making so many errors and not having a purpose for the way we were playing.”

Senior outside hitter Morgan Leach led the team with 13 kills with an above average .308 hitting average.

The other outside hitters struggled against the Jaguar defense.

Sophomore Taylor Lebo recorded seven hitting errors and had just a .074 hitting percentage.

Junior Amelia Anderson had four hitting errors, which negated her four kills for a hitting percentage of .000.

When asked if Wednesday’s performance was a step back for her team, Dunbar-Kruzan was blunt.

“Yeah, if we don’t use it the right way, yes,” she said.

backs that can often stand nearly a foot taller than him.

He knows he doesn’t have the body to be an enforcer around the line of scrimmage, so he improvises.

“I think of it as the term ‘finesse,’” Harris said. “We really have to work on mechanics, get around guys and try to avoid getting their hands on us.

“But once we get past that, it’s all fun and games.”

Harris said he loves running, and it’s his speed that lets him find open space more than anything else.

He doesn’t consider himself among the fastest on the team, but he’s pretty close.

The feature that often gets overlooked is a little harder to notice — his hands.

“I don’t know where

these came from,” Harris said, looking down at his hands, which look more like the size of a 6-foot-5inch outside receiver than a smaller man’s.

When he holds up his hand against a reporters’, his fingertips stretch about an extra inch.

“It almost scares me sometimes. I look down, and I’m like ‘Oh, put them back, put it away,’” he said jokingly, hiding his hands behind his back. “Put it away, that’s a weapon.”

He said he used to get made fun of for the largeness of his hands and length of his fingers.

When he first shook hands with Johns, Harris said Johns jokingly referred to his hands as “tree limbs.”

He doesn’t take the jokes to heart, though. The hands

are his weapons now.

“It makes it a lot easier to catch that ball,” Harris said.

Growing up, Harris said his first name was sometimes hard for people to grasp.

Harris said he doesn’t know how he received his unusual name — J-Shun Nehru Harris II. He was named after his father, who he shares the name with, but the two have since become distant.

In high school, most people just called him “Seven,” his old jersey number.

He hears the mistakes of “J-Sean” or “S-Shin” when people attempt to say his uncommon name.

But as he continues to develop, people might need to start getting used to saying “J-Shun Harris.”

Senior receiver Isaiah

Roundtree certainly thinks so.

He said he has been impressed with the play of freshmen like Harris, Simmie Cobbs and Dominique Booth, who have all seen playing time early on this season.

Harris’ ability to absorb information combined with his natural speed and hands have made him a threat to be at the base of a talented young receiving corps who are ready for the test of leading the Hoosiers for years to come.

“J-Shun’s a beast,” Roundtree said. “He’s going to be a monster.

“The next few years of football are going to be exciting with J-Shun, Simmie, Dom Booth. Ya’ll about to see some exciting football out of them for a while.”

Hoosiers prepare for border battle

By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen

IU Coach Amy Berbary decided to do things a bit differently this week at practice.

For the most part, the second-year women’s soccer coach has preached results and reaching team goals during her time at IU. But after meeting with a few seniors about a slow start to the season, Berbary has decided to stray away from talking purely results.

Instead, she’s looking for effort.

She said this year’s team doesn’t have the talent that last year’s did. To compensate, she’s pushing her athletes to work harder and compete harder in games.

It’s a radically different concept from what the Hoosiers used last year while making an NCAA Tournament run, but it’s a decision Berbary said she thinks is necessary with IU set to play Illinois at 3:30 p.m. today in Champaign, Ill. “We’ve kind of had to change it, because if we’re not taking care of ourselves and what we are doing individually, the results aren’t going to come anyway,” Berbary said.

She went on to explain that she asked a few seniors to define what kind of team this year’s Hoosiers are.

Last year the team prided itself on being disrespected, she said. IU was a preseason pick to finish last in the Big Ten and aimed to prove voting coaches wrong.

This year’s team was a preseason pick to finish 10th.

The Hoosiers want to define

themselves as a blue-collar, possession-based team.

“What defines us now is we’re hardworking,” Berbary said. “We defend with 11 and we’re fit and physical. That should be able to push us along.”

Throughout all of Tuesday’s practice leading into tonight’s game, Berbary and her coaching staff focused on competition.

She said the team members haven’t consistently shown effort in games that they needed to, so she’s simulating it with team scrimmages and drills.

“We didn’t talk technique.

We didn’t talk about where you were supposed to be. We talked purely effort,” Berbary said. “And I think that was the best thing our team needed right now.”

The Hoosiers (4-4, 0-2) will look to compete against a No. 22 Illinois (6-2, 1-1) team that is ranked for the first time in its program history.

Illinois is led offensively by senior forward Jannelle Flaws, who has six goals and two assists in eight games this season. She had two goals against IU in as many games last season.

The Fighting Illini defense has been the team’s backbone as of late. Illinois has four shutouts and only four goals allowed in its past seven games.

IU junior midfielder Jessie Bujouves has led the Hoosier offense this season with five goals. She said the Hoosiers need to do a better job of pushing numbers and creating offense from their defense.

“We just need to continue

to exploit spaces,” Bujouves said. “We need to do a better job of capitalizing on our chances ... We need to defend to attack.”

IU sits last in the Big Ten standings after two games.

Only the top eight teams will qualify for the Big Ten Tournament in November.

Even though it is still early, IU senior midfielder Jordan Woolums said the team realizes the importance of positioning in the standings in the initial Big Ten games.

She said a win would go a long way toward building team morale and positioning the Hoosiers for the postseason.

“We want some points,” Woolums said. “It would definitely help us. We’re ready to win some games and put some points on the board.”

With eight minutes remaining in the first overtime period, IU earned a corner.

The goalie saved it right to sophomore Derek Creviston who banged on, off the post.

IUPD Officer Chris Collins was hired by the IUPD in 2009 to work street patrol and in November 2011 he was promoted to field training officer and K9 handler.

Once vehicles are prepped, he said officers disperse to a variety of areas, sometimes having to stop and make sure they have enough coffee to start their shift before they arrive.

Some officers will stake out a spot near a day care center or school to watch for people speeding near what should be a school zone, he said.

“It really is the officer’s prerogative (as to) what they want to do,” he said.

There is a lot of freedom, Collins added.

Despite the freedoms, each shift has its own communal dynamic, Collins said.

“It’s kind of like a high school sometimes,” he said, explaining that officers in the same shift are closer to each other than to other shifts.

Even though they spend most of the day working alone, they are all working for the same purpose, he said.

“We’re all friends, and we all work together,” Collins said.

Most people are type-A personalities, Collins said.

For as many times as there are disagreements, there are even more moments of camaraderie.

“A lot of emotions can come and go amongst us,” Collins said.

Shifts tend to have their own inside jokes and comments that, at times, simply don’t transfer to other shifts, Collins said. They do all have fun with each other, he said.

The diversity of backgrounds of the officers also contributes to the strength of

the force, Collins said. Personal experiences help each officer to look at situations with new perspectives and help to cover a variety of incidents.

“They weigh things differently,” Collins said.

For instance, an officer whose life was affected by a drunken driver may be more aware of drivers that appear to be intoxicated than an officer who has never been personally affected by a drunken driver, he said.

Collins said that is what the criminal justice system was designed to do. It checks and balances and covers as much area as thoroughly as possible to create a safe, protected community.

Collins said he knows the effect he and other officers can make on the community.

“I really like the ability to help somebody that wants to be helped,” he said.

Collins said it is difficult to try to help a person who is being difficult or unresponsive to authority, but when a person is grateful for his help or even comes down to the office to thank him and his fellow officers, he knows he has done his job.

“I joke with people that unlike the rest of America, I don’t hate my job,” Collins said.

A lot of times, somebody receiving a speeding ticket doesn’t realize officers don’t benefit from giving out tickets, Collins said. The only reason he issues tickets is to hopefully encourage safer driving in the future.

Not getting through to people in the way he is hoping to, like issuing speeding tickets, is often frustrating, Collins said.

Collins’ German Shepard, Tery, sits with his first-place trophy from the K9 Olympics. Tery has been working with Collins for three years.

Outside of these interactions and the occasional minor frustration brought on by weather or long days, Collins said he genuinely enjoys his work with IUPD. Working 24 straight hours during the overlap of football and basketball season is hard for a person, Collins said, but he is never really angry at work because of work.

He said the freedom to do what he thinks will best serve the community outweighs any frustration he feels during the work day.

Collins said he knows the community well since he has been here for 10 years now.

“I can relate to it, and I can understand their thought process,” he said of college students that end up on the wrong side of the law.

While he doesn’t understand most of their problems from personal experience, he said he does understand the “why” behind most decisions people make.

Though Collins said he never intended to become an officer when he started college, now that he is here,

he isn’t planning on going anywhere.

“I would like to stay with this department and get promoted,” Collins said, explaining that the next rank up for him would be sergeant.

In the long term, he said he has considered moving to Florida to open a business, but for now, Collins said he is happy where he is.

The perks and benefits of this job, even down to experiencing the culture of the Bloomington community at sporting events and games, really add to what can be at times a tiring job, he said.

Collins paused for a moment and said that 10 years seems like a really long time to him, but that he is happy to be here.

“We are here to help and support the community,” Collins said.

Though working for a police department is never easy, Collins said he is proud to be providing this service to the community.

“I think Bloomington is the best place in the state to live and work,” he said.

For the new “Undress Me” exhibit, there will be a selection of vintage photographs from the 19th and 20th centuries owned by the Kinsey Institute of women in lingerie, along with seven mannequins wearing clothing from the Sage Selection at IU. “Women’s fashions are always changing and evolving, and undergarments are used to create different body shapes to fit the clothes of each era,” Johnson-Roehr said. “As part of the exhibition, we are showing a series of advertisements from women’s magazines and catalogs, which illustrate how clothes are sold to women with the promise that they will ‘fix’ imperfections and enable women to achieve whatever body shape is popular at that time.”

Fashion ranging from the late 1890s to the 1920s will be displayed, such as corsets, brassieres and undergarments, which will show a transition of what

women wore throughout the century.

This will be the second time the Kinsey Institute has collaborated with the Sage Selection.

Since the fashion department didn’t have a gallery to display the selection, the Kinsey Institute will display it in its gallery.

This exhibit will provide a wide variety of artwork that is considered by curators as sexually explicit.

Kinsey suggests visitors should be 18 years or older, unless they are accompanied by a parent or guardian.

This will be the first event of the fall for the Kinsey Institute.

Researchers from the institute will be present at the event to offer information on each display and the institute.

“We are hoping to see lots of students at our reception,” Johnson-Roer said. “By having an event like this, the Kinsey Institute is hoping to get people to notice the gallery and find out a bit more about the center and its useful resources at our library.”

International bands open 2014 Lotus weekend with kickoff concert

By Anthony Broderick aebroder@indiana.edu

The 21st annual Lotus World Music and Arts Festival opens today at the BuskirkChumley Theater with musical performances specializing in folk music exclusively from Hungary and Italy.

Taking part in this kick-off performance is a lineup of worldwide musical acts such as Söndörgo, a group from Hungary, and Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino, a group from Italy.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with the main show at 7 p.m.

The price of admission is $15 in advance and $20 on the day of the show.

The annual Lotus World Music and Arts Festival aims to celebrate the diversity, beauty and joy of music and arts from cultures around the world, according to the Lotus Festival’s official website.

Canzondiere Grecanico Salentino is a traditional music ensemble from Salento, Italy, that has been performing for nearly 40 years.

The group is a seven-member band and dancer that performs a contemporary style of Southern Italy’s traditional folk

music, Pizzica and dance.

“We hope to give to the Lotus Festival participants a mesmerizing, impactful experience,” said Mauro Durante, the group’s bandleader. “The secret of our show is in the interaction with the audience. Not a frontal one, from the stage to the people, but a circular one, where everybody is protagonist. Singing, screaming, clapping their hands and of course dancing.”

Canzondiere Grecanico Salentino previously performed at the Lotus Festival in 2011, and Durante said they enjoyed it so much that they wanted to come back. He said it is “one of their favorite festivals all over the world.”

The group performs a mix of musical acts, including the frame drums, violin, bouzuki, classical guitar, harmonica, zompogna (Italian bagpipes), diatonic accordion, tamburello, vocals and dance.

The group members will be presenting their latest 2013 album, “Pizzica Indiavolata,” along with some surprise new material that will appear in their new album next year.

Come as you are Downtown churches open their doors , act as venues for Lotus

By Victoria Lutgring vlutgrin@indiana.edu

Since 1994, the Lotus Festival has been an annual event in the city of Bloomington.

Festival-goers are almost at a loss with the multitude of musical performances — so many that it takes eight venues to host them all.

Although the event seems like a lot to take in, people may be surprised at the relaxed atmosphere it offers to the public.

The 2014 Lotus Festival will begin Thursday with the kickoff concert at Buskirk-Chumley Theater, and it will conclude Sunday.

Throughout the four days that the festival will take over Bloomington, citizens and visitors of the event will be venturing throughout Bloomington.

Altogether, there will be 11 venues that will help host the vast array of cultural experiences. Of these 11 venues, three of them are churches located in downtown Bloomington.

First Christian Church on East Kirkwood Avenue, First Presbyterian Church on East Sixth Street, and First United Methodist Church on East Fourth Street are all opening their doors for the festival this year.

“This is the second year in a row we’ve been a performance venue,” said First Christian Church executive administrator Evelyn Nelson. “We have a very beautiful sanctuary, and we love to invite people in to see our church and to get a glimpse of who we are and what we do for the community.”

“Last year we handed out water bottles to people passing by who were attending the festival,” Nelson said.

Even if the weather during the festival this year isn’t as hot

The First United Methodist Church on East Fourth Street serves as a venue during the Lotus World Music & Arts Festival.

congregation, and we enjoy hosting Lotus whenever we are asked,” said Sadie Carter, the church’s office administrator.

First Presbyterian was designed and built in 1900, before electric amplification, which means the sanctuary is a prime location for the acoustic arts.

“Keeping up with our 114-year-old building is a lot of work, and so it is gratifying for all of us to be able to share it with more of Bloomington,” Carter said.

She also mentioned the many compliments and thanks First Presbyterian Church receives for opening its doors to the Lotus Festival.

Along with First Christian

as last year’s, Nelson said there is a good chance they will be handing out water again.

“The Lotus festival in general is a great way to connect to the people in Bloomington,” he said.

First Christian Church will host performances throughout the day Friday and Saturday, which include performers Catherine MacLellan, Derek Gripper, Singing for the Planets, Van-Anh Vanessa Vo and Nora Jane Struthers & the Party Line.

First Presbyterian Church is another one of the three churches participating in the Lotus Festival.

Inlow said she believes that Lotus presents a special experience to Bloomington residents and visitors.

Church and First Presbyterian Church, First United Methodist Church is also a venue for the performing arts during the festival.

First United Methodist has been a host to the festival since Lotus’s beginning. The location will host live musical performances of many different backgrounds such as Mongolian folk and jazz, Acoustic Americana, Irish traditional and Southern Slavic folk traditions.

APeople can be really dumb sometimes.

Like this past week, when so many people were up in arms that Apple gave them a free new album.

People were upset that Apple had put the new U2 album, “Songs of Innocence,” directly into their music libraries and onto their iPhones.

It’s kind of like being angry that a good friend of yours baked you a delicious pie and then left it in your kitchen.

Release and distribution hiccups aside, this new U2 album is absolutely killer.

Everything about this album says it was expertly made. Nothing says it was just a gimmick to make the unveiling of the new iPhones and Apple Watch more grandiose.

Beginning with the lead single, “The Miracle (Of Joey

“We play old tunes with timeless meanings and new compositions with urgent lyrics and feeling, and we dance out their emotions.”

Another group that will take part in the Lotus Festival opening concert is folk ensemble Söndörgo from Szentendre, Hungary.

This band plays genre folk, world and Balkan themed music using a string instrument called the tambura.

According to the group’s official website, the group is known for playing a style of music that has been described by fans and critics as hugely attractive, but little known and quite different

Ramone),” the album shows off U2 at its very best.

The song is just huge. It starts with an anthemic chant then cuts to an awesomebeyond-belief distorted guitar riff.

It’s fun, upbeat, energetic and completely catchy.

Even the slower songs don’t seem like filler the way so many bands’ songs do on their albums these days. The songs still echo with U2’s typical stadium-rock feel.

In all of the music on this album, save for maybe “Volcano,” you can feel that a band of veterans who have been around the block about a dozen times are the ones behind the creative process.

Choices are bold and intentional. Songs such as “Raised By Wolves” and “Sleep Like a Baby Tonight” show off the band’s ability to still make very original and carefully thought-out music.

The album flows nicely, no songs feel out of place, and the packing of the album — especially opening with a bang and closing with a

gentler piece, makes the album feel cohesive.

More than 25 years after “The Joshua Tree” was released, “Songs of Innocence” still feels completely relevant. The album doesn’t feel like a bunch of old, out-of-touch men just putting together an album to squeeze out a few more dollars at the end of their careers.

U2 still knows how to make big, beautiful, virtuosic pop songs.

The album isn’t absolutely perfect — I would have loved to see more contrast from song to song, maybe a breakout from the U2 norm.

With strokes of musical brilliance abounding and an opening single that is truly a 10 out of 10, this is one album you won’t want to delete off your iPhone just yet.

Take a drive through autumn’s changing leaves and play “Songs of Innocence.” You’ll want to thank Apple wholeheartedly.

to the traditional, fiddle-led Hungarian repertoire.

They aim to foster and preserve Southern Slavic traditions of the Serbs and Croats as found in various settlements in Hungary.

The five-member group researches, arranges and performs in Balkan tradition.

They will perform material from their recent album “Tamburocket Hungarian Fireworks.”

The London Evening Standard says the group’s music “sparkles with virtuosity and foot-tapping joie de vivre and are proving themselves to be one of Europe’s most versatile and exciting bands.”

Söndörgo’s performance is sponsored in part by the IU Russian and East European Institute, Institute for European Studies and Department of Central Eurasian Studies.

Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino’s performance is sponsored in part by the IU Department of French and Italian and Institute for European Studies.

This music festival has had a high turnout by the Bloomington public for years, and Bloomington native Joseph Dominick is excited for this specific opening musical lineup due to its diversity in internationality with music.

“The Lotus Music Festival bringing in international a musical act like Söndörgo, is a must-see enjoyable experience for everyone,” Dominick said. “I have been attending the Lotus Festivals for years now, and it brings in some great diversity in music and artists each year giving people like myself a great earful of music I would’ve never heard had they not come to Bloomington.”

NOT A MISSION TRIP

West talks horror films

By Amanda Marino ammarino@indiana.edu @amandanmarino

Columnist Caroline Ellert and her fellow study abroad students Lauren Kelley and Kieran Conway stand outside of Inzozi Nziza, a local ice cream shop in Rwanda. Even these small stores tell the story of rebuilding the economy of the country.

Rwandan spirit can be found in local treasure of ice cream My friends and I were meandering around a Rwandan city we knew nothing about, all because we thought we had seen a sign that said “ice cream.”

There was just something so alluring about eating ice cream outside in this strange, hot place — to taste a bit of home.

There’s nothing wrong with Rwandan food per se, but it does consist mostly of starches — rice and multiple types of potatoes constitute every meal. Breakfast is bread. Lunch is bread and rice. Dinner is rice and potatoes.

We wanted something sweet.

Enter Inzozi Nziza, literally, “Sweet Dreams” in Kinyarwanda. The sign bears the slogan “Ice cream. Cof-

fee. Dreams” — which pretty much describes mine.

In Rwanda, everything and everyone is connected to the genocide in some way.

Events preceding the 1994 mass killings are known as “before.” Everything now is “after.”

The “after” phase is all about development, about reconstructing a society torn apart by genocide.

Twenty years ago, the economy was at zero.

Houses were destroyed, businesses were abandoned and a functioning government was non-existent.

Today, there are roads, construction sights and new businesses. The country has risen as a phoenix from its fiery past of violence and suffering.

Inzozi Nziza is one of the

bright spots to come out of the ashes.

Born out of a partnership between two American businesswomen and Ingoma Nshya, Rwanda’s first all-female drumming group — an activity formerly reserved for men — Inzozi Nziza opened in 2010 as both an economic development initiative and a spirit-boosting venture.

The drumming group promotes female empowerment while uniting groups of Rwandans previously pitted against each other.

It also gives women the tools to be financially independent while supporting the local economy by employing locals and using local milk, sugar and other ingredients.

We happened upon it by luck. We had circled the

entire neighborhood before stumbling upon the gem.

The ice cream was softserve, lighter and milkier than ice cream in the States.

We were the only people in the shop — then again, I’m not sure anyone but slightly homesick Americans would be in an ice cream parlor at 2 p.m. on a Tuesday.

While efforts to rebuild institutions after the genocide certainly come from a place of hope and a profound belief in the resilience of Rwandans, Inzozi Nziza is different because it also advocates for the simple pleasures that make life beautiful — and sweet.

Ice cream makes people happy. It’s a fact that transcends nationality and culture. We found a bit of hap-

piness that afternoon. And others do too.

By the numbers, the Rwandan economy is doing quite well. There is still enormous work that needs to be done. Poverty levels still hover around 50 percent, but 20 years ago, Rwandan society was built from scratch, and today it has roads, businesses and a growing economy.

In Butare, there’s a little shop that serves ice cream to improve the local economy, even in small ways.

But there’s something else improving Rwanda that can’t exactly be measured by statistics — the Rwandan spirit.

Ti West will be coming to the IU Cinema Friday to lecture as a part of both the Diabolique International Film Festival and the Jorgensen Guest Filmmaker International Series.

“We’re really pleased to have him as part of our program,” IU Cinema Director Jon Vickers said.

In the past 10 years, at least five of West’s films have reached national theatrical distribution, Vickers said.

“He is paying homage to a lot of horror films from the past in his own work,” he said.

Along with his work directing horror films, Vickers said West has acted in several of his friends’ films. The independent film industry is a very community based institution.

“He seems to be a great collaborator,” Vickers said.

Since the IU Cinema became the home for the Diabolique International Film Festival, Vickers said he and the festival organizers all wanted to bring West in to speak.

Along with his lecture, three of his films, “The Sacrament,” “The Innkeepers” and “The House of the Devil” will be shown at 6:30 p.m., 9:30 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. respectively. following his 3 p.m. lecture.

“It’s kind of the Ti West Day,” Vickers said of the first day of the festival.

Vickers said West is an important speaker because his age will make him both valuable and relatable.

“He’s a great, young independent film voice,” Vickers said.

He said an interview with West will be conducted and end in a question and answer segment with the audience.

“I hope that we have over 100 people to the lecture,” Vickers said, expecting that both the lecture and West’s films will be relatively crowded.

Vickers said fans of horror and good independent film work will enjoy the experience of being able to both interact with and learn from West and see his recent work.

“He has a fresh look at the horror genre,” Vickers said.

Lilly Library hosts James Madison book signing Wed.

By Adam Smith adbsmith@indiana.edu

It all started in the 1970s when James Madison took on the professorship in the history department about 40 years ago.

The job, he said, was part of the inspiration behind his book “Hoosiers: A New History of Indiana” as he pursued his research.

Madison spoke briefly and acknowledged those who contributed while at a book signing at Lilly Library on Wednesday.

“I’m half serious when I

say the students made me do it,” Madison, a Pennsylvania native, said.

This is not the first comprehensive history of the state that Madison has authored.

When he set out to write “Hoosiers,” he had initially intended to just update his 1986 book, “The Indiana Way: A State History.”

At that time, he said, he quickly realized that his original work had become outdated. There was work to be done and merely an update to the existing work would not suffice.

“There’s new scholarship to consider, and we just have a different perspective than 20 to 30 years ago,” Madison said.

The roles of women and African-Americans in Indiana history are just some areas of academia that he said have had a considerable growth in scholarship.

His book, Madison said, claims that the way of change for Hoosiers is often “evolutionary, not revolutionary,” and that Hoosiers are often “comfortable, but maybe too comfortable.”

Despite this slow move-

Jacobs professor to play at Bear’s Place From IDS reports

The weekly Jazz Fables concert series at the Bear’s Place will feature Bloomington-based trumpeter and IU Jacobs School of Music professor of jazz Dominic Spera.

The event will be from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Tickets are $7 for general admission and $5 for students, those 21 and older, at the door of the event Thursday.

Spera will be playing

with his quintet, featuring Bloomington jazz vocalist Janiece Jaffe, Jacobs professor Gary Potter on piano, and Bloomington jazz musicians Dave Brucker on bass and Danny Deckard on drums.

Spera has played in Broadway show orchestras and numerous venues in New York City.

Spera was also a cofounder of the Bloomington Jazz Festival, which is an annual event that has been

part of the Bloomington community for more than 30 years.

For the concert at Bear’s Place, the quintet will perform jazz classics by Hoagy Carmichael, Cole Porter and Duke Ellington.

Next Thursday’s concert series will feature a tribute to Miles Davis by local jazz musicians from the Bloomington community and the Jacobs School of Music.

Alison Graham

ment, Madison said there are still times in Indiana’s history that are quite explosive.

Madison devoted an entire chapter of his new book to the effect the Civil War had on Indiana.

He called it a time of immense “importance and turbulence for the state.”

His writing discusses the bitter divisions drawn between Hoosiers that supported President Abraham Lincoln and those who supported slavery.

The release of “Hoosiers” has been timed to antici-

pate Indiana’s bicentennial in 2016.

Madison said he does not think the Hoosiers at Indiana’s centennial anniversary would have ever expected they’d be eating sushi and playing soccer in 100 years.

The final chapter of his book, titled “Some Thoughts on Twenty-First-Century Hoosiers”, touches on these changes that have occurred over the years.

Xuan Li, a junior studying Central Eurasian studies, attended Madison’s book signing.

Li is an international student, and Madison’s family is hosting him in the United States.

He said that in his two years spent living in Bloomington, he has come to “love Indiana as a state and wants to know more about (its) history.”

Madison said he had one important message about the Hoosier state for those who gathered at the signing: “Whether you love it or whether you hate it,” he said, “it is there, and it is far more important than most people understand.”

ADVANCE REVIEW

Not quite legendary

‘Gracepoint’ fun, enthralling “Gracepoint�

B

MCT CAMPUS

“Destiny�

Developer: Bungie Publisher: Activision Platforms: PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One

C Bungie’s first new franchise since “Halo: Combat Evolved� is a strong effort in many respects. It just falls short of the colossal expectations set by its marketing campaign.

Destiny is a mix of a massivelymultiplayer online game, a role-playing game and a first-person shooter.

That being said, it often feels much more like an MMO instead of a traditional campaign-driven shooter, even though Bungie insists it is a “Shared World Shooter.�

A strong Internet connection is required, and some parts of the game are blocked behind a Sony or Microsoft paywall (though PS3 players will not need PS+).

Using IU DeviceNet, I was dropped from the game occasionally, which rebooted me back to the main menu each time.

While playing, I could not help but

notice how so much of the game feels like a missed opportunity.

It is obvious Bungie spent a lot of time creating a special universe, but with much of the backstory not even in an in-game codex, the incentive to understand events referenced in the game is completely absent.

The game cheerfully reminds you to go to bungie.net to read more, but only the most dedicated of fans would do so.

The guns all have a good heft to them and movement is crisp. As there are often large areas to traverse, you can call in a speeder bike to speed your travel across the game’s four main areas (Venus, Earth, Mars and the Moon).

Where “Destiny� falls horribly short is in the narrative department. Far removed from the tightly scripted and cogent campaigns of “Halo,� the campaign missions here are much

more formulaic.

They mainly consist of fighting to point A, defending point B from waves of enemies, and then killing a boss at point C. Rinse and repeat.

Over a few hours this very boilerplate mission structure can becoming grating, especially over the game’s roughly 15-hour campaign. Yet with such an expansive lore, there does not seem to be a living universe out there.

Peter Dinklage’s wooden voice acting as your traveling companion cube does not help very much in contextualizing your actions.

The cooperative multiplayer aspect can be very fun, and the Player vs.

Player arena is seeing a lot of use as well, but that cannot excuse the lack of coherency in what we were promised was an expansive world with a deep and rich background. “Destiny� is a highly competent game, but it is not an engaging one. On a technical level, it stands comfortably with Bungie’s pedigree, yet it frustratingly fails to deliver an immersive and engrossing experience.

There seems to be a growing divide between cable and subscription television and network television.

As the content produced by channels such as AMC and HBO gets better and better, with game-changing dramas such as “Breaking Bad� and “Game of Thrones,� network television just gets worse and worse. “Scandal� was okay for a season or two. Then it tanked. “The Blacklist� was OK for an episode or two and then tanked, too.

The art is sacrificed to the altar of the lowest common denominator, and shows end up feeling completely lacking in at least one major area, be it writing, acting or direction.

As long as the show is just OK to enough people, it’ll air. “Gracepoint,� Fox’s new mystery drama miniseries, seems to be changing that.

Maybe I’m pulling this comparison out of thin air, but making the show 10 episodes definitely makes it seem like Fox has picked up on HBO’s “True Detective� model and is running with it.

But far more importantly than format, the content of the show just seems to click.

This review was based on just the pilot, but the show’s potential seems very strong. “Gracepoint� is based on the U.K. show “Broadchurch,� and it’s about a pair of detectives — played by Anna Gunn and David Tennant — trying to uncover who killed a 12-year-old boy in the town.

The show takes place in the quaint little northern Californian town of Gracepoint — a beautiful, bythe-beach, everyone-knowseveryone’s-name kind of place. One of the things this show nails so wonderfully is the atmosphere.

Atmosphere is important for any show but especially so for a suspenseful mystery.

Gracepoint is quaint, picturesque and quiet enough to make the death of a young boy all the more petrifying.

In terms of acting, both Anna Gunn and David Tennant do a terrific job — Gunn as Detective Ellie Miller and Tennant as her boss, Detective Emmett Carver.

Tennant is reprising the lead role of the show — he was also cast as the lead male detective in the British version of the show.

The show falls flat in some areas, unfortunately. The writing feels cheap and stale sometimes, the direction is sometimes askew and the acting of the supporting cast just doesn’t always match that of the leads’.

I let some of the corny music slide as an intentional choice — this show has an almost Agatha Christie-esque feel to it, and that music heightened that feeling. It made the whole package a little more fun and engaging. “Gracepoint� isn’t perfect, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction for Fox. The pilot kept me gripped the whole time, and I’m definitely excited to see where it goes from here.

“Siren Charms�

F In the realm of music, what’s more depressing when a band with a track record as illustrious and influential as that of In Flames releases a string of consecutively bad, even terrible, albums?

That same band sacrifices its signature sound, technical prowess and dignity in order to fit in with the “kids� and stay relevant for a little while longer.

Nowhere is that more evident than on In Flames’ latest catastrophe, “Siren Charms.�

Now to be fair, it wasn’t always like this.

In Flames was a pretty big deal when the band started back in the early 1990s. It was a major contributor in the creation of the “melodic death metal� subgenre and was recognized as a significant influence in heavy metal almost immediately after releasing “The Jester Race� in 1996.

Not an easy thing to accomplish right out of the gate.

Then when “Reroute to Remain� came into being around 2002, things started to go south.

Not only did In Flames change its sound completely, with accessible song structures and a brighter tone to boot, it also caused a great rift in the fanbase, with words like “selling out� and “betrayed� thrown around.

So here they are now in 2014 with “Siren Charms,� and to say that the band is a shadow of its former self is a major understatement.

What made the band so well regarded in the past is no longer present on this plane of existence.

Instead, we are graced with the presence of a slew of bland, flat and gratingly boring compositions that would make Papa Roach green with envy.

Therein lies a trove of uninspired songwriting, melodramatic vocals, laughably bad lyrics and a painful reminder of what once was.

No care or effort resonates within this release, if any such thing went into it.

There are no signs of redemption, recovery or salvation seen beyond the horizon — just an epitaph bearing the band’s name.

Pathetic. “Siren Charms,� now available at a Hot Topic near you.
