IU to close residence halls to fix mold

By Lilly St. Angelo lstangel@iu.edu | @lilly_st_ang

Foster and McNutt quads will be closed for renovations during the 2019-2020 academic year to thoroughly address ongoing mold problems.

The accelerated plan, set to begin in May 2019, was approved Friday at the IU Board of Trustees meeting.

Originally, renovations to these residence halls were scheduled to start in 2021 and 2023. The accelerated plan comes after a semester of mold problems in Foster and McNutt that have caused hundreds of students to move.

“Accelerating the planned renovations of Foster and McNutt enables IU to address underlying HVAC deficiencies of older systems while also comprehensively renovating these facilities,” said Tom Morrison, vice president for Capital Planning and Facilities.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR The IDS is part campus news source, part business and part student learning lab. These purposes sometimes come in conflict with one another, but the tie-breaker, the thing we always turn to when we’re unsure of what to do is you, our audience. We try to serve you, covering the stories you need in the best ways possible.

When two shootings touched our campus in the same 24-hour period this semester, one at a fraternity party and one at a synagogue in Pennsylvania, we covered the breaking news online and then did something different in print. We wanted to convey the scale of gun violence in the United States, so we compiled a list of dozens of other shootings that happened in the same 24-hour period.

When our country took to the polls in November, the IDS provided live results online and then followed up with stories trying to answer the most important question after an election: “What does this mean?”

When the men’s and women’s basketball teams kicked off their seasons this year, we wrote our traditional stories but also rolled out a Facebook group and newsletter specifically for fans to give them a new way to interact with us and one another.

We’ve done our best to serve you this semester, but we also know there were many times we fell short. When this happens, we always welcome your comments and critiques because without you, our job is pointless.

Thank you for a great semester, and we hope you will continue reading the IDS in the spring when Matt Rasnic takes over as editor-in-chief.

After their land was seized to make room for I-69, families are crushed under the weight of progress.

By Laurel Demkovich lfdemkov@iu.edu | @laureldemkovich

Joseph Jackson was worn out.

He and his wife sat helplessly for four years as the state of Indiana seized a chunk of their 80-acre farm, along with some of their neighbors’ properties, to make way for a new section of I-69.

The large hilly field where the Jacksons’ quarter horses used to graze was paved over.

The horses became too scared to cross the new access road that rose from that pavement.

After construction workers installed a drain next to the Jacksons’ house, the basement flooded repeatedly. They awoke at all hours of the night as crews set off blasts that felt like small earthquakes.

Finally, Cathy Jackson became so overwhelmed she moved away from the home where her family had lived for more than half a century.

“I can’t take this,” she told Joe one day. “I have to get out of here.”

Now Cathy was gone, living two hours to the south, and her 71-year-old husband was stewing on the front porch of the house he had built with his own hands. He wasn’t sure how

He needed to do something — one last attempt to make the world pay attention.

He asked his 21-year-old granddaughter for help. The two found a 4-foot-by-8-foot piece of plywood. He sat next to her with a can of paint, deciding exactly what to say. He gave her the brush, and she started painting the big black letters.

ANOTHER FAMILY “FARM” DESTROYED BY I-69 Few driving by seemed to care. * * * Amid the construction cones and the clouds of dust from heavy machinery, the nearly completed interstate cuts through the rolling hills of southern Indiana.

Much of the land along the highway once belonged to families like the Jacksons.

Plans to turn State Road 37 into I-69, which will run from Mexico to Canada, have been discussed for decades.

Today, after years of construction, Section 5 — running just south of Bloomington to Indian Creek in Morgan County — is almost finished.

An initial private-public partnership — endorsed by then-Gov. Mike Pence — ended in a two-year delay, a potential loss of millions of dollars and headaches for drivers who sat for hours in traffic. A 2016 financial plan estimated the final cost for Section 5 at $476.9 million. A 2017 update will be released at the end of the year.

The landowners whose lives were uprooted know there’s more to the story.

Progress, they say, comes with a price.

The state estimated that around 327 acres would be seized to widen the highway or build access roads, according to a 2015 Final Environmental Impact Statement.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – On the right side of the stands, the IU fight song was loud and clear after the game clock struck double zero.

Senior midfielder Austin Panchot and senior defender Andrew Gutman were the first players to walk toward the IU marching band and fans, each raising his hands, nodding his head and patting his chest in admiration of the fans who made the cross-country trip to support them and the rest of the team.

IU had fallen to Maryland, 2-0, in the College Cup to put an end to a historic season.

After the sound of the band and fans faded, IU Coach Todd Yeagley talked to his team one last time on the field before the rest of the players turned around and did exactly what Panchot and Gutman did, thanking the Hoosier faithful.

“Tonight, the ball wasn’t bouncing,” Yeagley said. “We

2-0 couldn’t find that bounce that we needed.”

It was the third time the two teams matched up this season as IU won the first two games down the stretch thanks to a late goal from Gutman and a 4-3 advantage in PKs. Coming into the game, IU was confident and looking forward to the challenge that playing Maryland a third time presented. This time around, the game was completely different than the first two.

The Maryland backline constantly swarmed Gutman and the IU attack almost every time it seemed like IU would possibly find a goal. Coming into the game, neither team had allowed a single goal in the NCAA Tournament, but Maryland made sure to make a statement early on.

In the 37th minute, IU failed to clear a corner kick and as the ball

was lost in the shuffle. Before IU was able to find it, Maryland’s Matt Di Rosa put his left foot on it and sent it to the left side of the net as a defensive miscue put IU down early.

Heading into the game, Maryland was 9-0 since mid-October in games that it scored the first goal in. Yeagley still felt confident

heading into the second half that his team would find the goal that never did come.

“There were moments we could’ve been better,” Panchot said. “Today just wasn’t our day.”

Students read local newspapers from the newspaper boxes Nov. 19, 1957, in the Indiana Memorial Union.

IMU mailbox is a touchstone for past

By Joey Bowling jobowl@iu.edu | @jwbowling08

A lone mailbox stands in the Indiana Memorial Union South Lounge. It had placards with the names of cities with newspapers in Indiana, with some nameplates there and others lost.

As recent as 30 years ago, students grabbed newspapers from that mailbox to keep up with news in their hometowns.

The mailbox originally served the function of providing news to students who moved away from their hometowns before the internet. The service was voluntary, with newspapers donating publications to the IMU.

Winston Shindell, former executive director of the IMU, said the newspapers were sorted into specific counties, so students could find the publications and catch up on the local news.

“That was something that was done for their students here,” Shindell said.

Shindell said many alumni told him how much they loved the mailbox novelty and how the Union provided them a space to catch up with their hometown news. In the beginning, the service was extremely popular and students were always in the room.

Lounge matrons kept the newspapers stocked and in the right places, Shindell said. They would keep

the lounge clean and close the drapes that used to rest across the windows in the lounge at night.

Alumus Steve Moberly said the lounge had many features that attracted students, the mailbox being one of them. He said he can remember students coming to play the piano and sitting down to read the paper from Shelbyville, Indiana. He said later his parents gave him a subscription to the paper, so he no longer needed to go to the mailbox.

“It was reassuring,” Moberly said. “I was still interested in what was going on at Shelbyville High School.”

Moberly said he felt the newspapers helped reduce

some of the homesickness students felt, as they were still connected to their news and were able to indirectly keep in touch with people.

“They could go in and pull up a paper and read about their friends they still had and had not yet graduated,” Moberly said.

The newspapers gradually began to stop coming, with more and more publications being unable to afford sending free subscriptions. Shindell said he thinks it was because of the finances because many subscriptions came from smalltown newspapers. There may not have been a lot of disposable income.

“I think it’s just a sign of the times,” Shindell said.

US loosens internship regulations

By Ellen Hine emhine@indiana.edu | @ellenmhine

Internship season is in full swing at IU. Students across all majors and programs are furiously typing cover letters, updating their resumes and emailing professors for recommendations.

Internships provide students with real-world experience and can give them a competitive edge in the job market after graduation.

Some undergraduate programs at IU even require students to complete an internship in order to graduate.

“We always tell students, ‘You need to do well in the classroom, but you also need to showcase using these skills in work settings,’” said Justin Zuschlag, a senior associate director of IU’s Walter Center for Career Achievement.

But in order to get practical experience, some students may have to work for free. In January, the U.S. Department of Labor loosened the requirements a company must meet to make an internship unpaid, which may lead to more unpaid internships on the market.

Unpaid internships have been a subject of debate for years. Critics say unpaid in-

ternships are impractical for students who cannot afford housing and living expenses.

They also argue that students whose families can afford to financially support them gain an unfair advantage.

Proponents claim working and making connections in students' fields are enough compensation.

While the number of paid internships has increased in recent years, unpaid internships have been on the decline. Forty three percent of 2017 graduates completed unpaid internships during their undergraduate years as opposed to 48.7 percent in 2011, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers.

IU senior Emily Tucker is an arts management major who completed an unpaid internship over the summer at Secretly Group, a group of independent record labels located in Bloomington.

Tucker said she took the internship because she knew she could support herself with her job doing social media and graphic design work for The Pourhouse Cafe.

There was one problem: When Tucker registered her internship for college credit, she was charged roughly

$200 in tuition.

“Because it was the only credit I was taking over the summer, none of my usual scholarships covered it because those are only per fall and spring,” Tucker said.

Because she needed the credit to complete her degree, Tucker said she ended up taking out a student loan to cover the cost of the class.

“That will just be another expense for later,” Tucker said.

The Walter Center offers unpaid internship funding for undergraduate and graduate students in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Zuschlag said students who apply for funding typically receive between $1,000 and $5,000 depending on the availability of funds and the number of applicants.

Zuschlag said he and his colleagues try to work with students to determine the best way for them to gain practical experience without struggling to support themselves. If an internship is only a couple hours a week, he said it may be practical for students to work another job at the same time.

If the unpaid internship is in another part of the country or has hours that bar students

from working another job, they may want to reconsider.

“One of the things we talk to students about is that, you know, unpaid internships across the country is not the only way to get good experience for post-graduation,” Zuschlag said.

Zuschlag said smaller internships closer to home may actually be better for students than programs at big-name companies across the country. Internships at smaller companies may give students more meaningful work due to smaller staff sizes, which gives students a chance to improve and expand their skills.

A couple years ago, Zuschlag said he helped an apparel merchandising major who could not afford to take an unpaid summer internship in California. The student approached her employers at Old Navy to take on some creative projects at her job instead, giving her practical experience and a chance to improve her portfolio.

“You do not have to take an unpaid internship or take a loan out and get a bunch of debt,” Zuschlag said. “That’s definitely not the only way to get the good experience.”

A residential research study promising seven weeks of “FUN!” at Purdue University in 2017 is at the center of a lawsuit alleging multiple incidents of assault, sexual harassment and violence among the 11 to 15-year-old participants.

The study, which was marketed to parents as a seven-week summer camp, was shut down the day after a female participant posted a video on social media of another girl nude in the shower area.

The lawsuit was filed Oct. 5 by L. Lauderdale on behalf of the minor in the video, who is listed as Jane Doe. The Marion County family named Purdue University, IU, Indiana University School of Medicine and Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute for contributing to the girl’s “substantial emotional trauma.”

In 2016, the National Institutes of Health awarded an $8.8 million grant for a five-year period to measure how diet and sodium intake affects blood pressure in adolescents. Titled Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, Camp DASH did not make it through its first summer.

The onslaught of problems that led to the camp’s premature closure are laid out in a 51-page internal review released in November 2017 by Alysa Rollock, Purdue vice president for ethics and compliance, at the request of Purdue President Mitch Daniels.

Rollock concluded the counselors and program organizers were not appropriately trained, did not adequately supervise participants and failed to report incidents in a timely manner.

The lead researcher in the study, Connie Weaver, made several false promises to parents and university officials on how the adolescents were overseen, according to the document.

A Camp DASH Facebook page advertised sports, science and nutrition classes, arts and crafts and field trips.

Parents were told their children would be supervised at all times.

The Bloomington Faculty Council covered a lot of ground in the first semester of this academic year, including amending its constitution to allow for a greater number of non-tenure track faculty on the council, key changes in IU’s education policy to benefit students' grade-point averages and a greater discussion to increase IU’s general education requirements. Here’s what you need to know.

Constitution amendments made official In its first meeting of the semester, the BFC passed 13 amendments to its con-

stitution, a change that will increase the number of nontenure track faculty on the council.

The amendments went to a vote for all IU faculty later in the semester. BFC president Moira Marsh announced at the final meeting before winter break that 828 IU faculty had participated in the vote, and the amendments had passed.

There are currently three seats on the council available for non-tenure track faculty, but the amendments will add approximately 12 new seats, bringing the total representation to 15 non-tenure track members.

The council consists of 53 elected members, six senior

administrators, one representative from the Reserve Officer Training Corps, two staff representatives, two undergraduate students and four graduate students.

“The proportion of the faculty that is outside the tenure track has been steadily growing,” Marsh said. “It is important to keep faculty governance representative of the full faculty.”

The BFC hopes to have a voting process to elect these new members in place by 2020.

A new grade policy and a fresh start for students Throughout the semester, the BFC discussed two changes to its education policy, clar-

ifying the process for course retakes and allowing students to receive a new GPA after an extended absence from the University.

In a unanimous vote before winter break, the BFC voted to approve both changes.

In the previous grade policy, students could retake any course in which they received a grade below an A, and replace that grade with one received in a different course with similar content. Both grades appeared on the students' transcript, but only the second is added to their GPA. The changes approved by the BFC clarify the SEE BFC, PAGE 3

A look back at BFC accomplishments

Participants would receive free housing at Purdue’s Tarkington Hall and a $750 stipend over two sessions, according to the internal review.

The experience campers had that summer did not carry out the advertisement’s cheery promises.

Two boys were arrested and dismissed during the first week of the study, which began June 10. One boy attempted to choke another participant, and the other was in a fight that sent another child to the hospital.

Weaver was informed June 20 of multiple reports that a boy participating in the study had sexually harassed and assaulted female campers. The boy was dismissed the following day, but Weaver did not report the incidents to anyone outside the study until after July 5, according to the internal review.

That was the deadline the Biomedical Institutional Review Board, which oversees research at Purdue, set for closing the study if another event occurred.

“I implore the committee to allow us to take emergency steps to remove a disruptive camper without fear of shutting down the study,” Weaver wrote in a June 20 memo to Biomedical IRB. “I have conducted 11 previous summer research camps; this is the first time, ever, that incidents leading to arrests have occurred.”

In the early hours of July 5, a girl reported to a counselor that one of her male peers had inappropriately touched her in the van ride back from a field trip to see Fourth of July fireworks.

Weaver, who was in the vehicle, did not report the event to police, but the counselor independently filed reports.

By the end of the first three-week session, seven participants were sent home and one chose to leave.

The Purdue University Police Department told Purdue officials June 30 that the study posed an “imminent threat to the health and safety of the children” and recommended the study be canceled.

The study was allowed to continue if Weaver followed

20-year-old IU student opens his own bar

By Alex Hardgrave ahardgra@iu.edu | @a_hardgrave

Conner Syrek is an IU student who owns a bar, but he isn’t even old enough to go into it.

He is only 20, so he is only allowed to enter Conner’s Tap Room when it’s not open. He checks that everything is working and running smoothly, and his dad runs the finances.

Syrek is a Bloomington native, and he and his family would attend trivia night when Conner’s Tap Room was still Talkers Tap Room, and they would banter about opening their own place someday.

When the past owner needed to sell the space, he approached Conner about it jokingly, but Conner decided to actually take the opportunity and bought it by using his savings, some money from his grandparents and loans.

“It wasn’t originally my plan, but he came forward with it and I mulled it over for a while and then after thinking about it I thought, you know what, that is a really solid opportunity that most people don’t actually find so, you know, I should capitalize on it when I can,” he said.

Ken Syrek said the decision surprised him because

» LAWSUIT

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 through with several changes she described in an email to university officials. The reports of sexual assault were still unknown to people outside the study.

According to Rollock’s report, many of the changes Weaver promised did not materialize. At least nine incidents allegedly took place in the 10 days before the second session was suspended.

A head counselor was informed between 10 and 11 p.m. July 18 that a female camper — who had already been sent home for sexual violence and an attempted choking — posted a video on social media of a girl naked in the shower area. Two boys in the study had seen the video.

The counselor did not report the incident to police until the following morning.

Within two days of police learning of the video, the remaining 46 campers were sent home.

Several administrative problems persisted throughout the study.

The researchers intended to have 150 participants, but

Ken never took their conversations about it seriously.

“I didn’t really dream that this would be a reality one day,” Ken Syrek said. “It was something we had talked about but it was really a surprise still.”

Conner Syrek said he is excited to be a lot more hands-on with the business when he turns 21 next November.

“There is something very

special, especially to more townie people, when the actual owner comes into the establishment and meets with everybody and talks to them,” he said. “It makes people want to come back.”

Conner is majoring in health and wellness but is considering a business minor.

Though graduation is a couple years away, he plans to continue working with

the tap room as a side gig.

Right now, the place is offering various craft beers, but Conner Syrek said he is hoping they will be able to offer some local brews.

He also wants to start a beer school, which was something that used to be offered at another nowclosed local bar, Yogi's Grill and Bar. Beer school is where a local brewer brings samples in for patrons and

just 78 enrolled when the study began. Witnesses reported that Weaver’s decisions on whether to dismiss participants were influenced by her desire to maintain sufficient enrollment numbers, according to the internal review.

In her July 3 email detailing consequences if the University followed through with its initial determination to shut down the study after the first session, Weaver referenced the ramifications for other research projects and future grants should the study close early.

“The embarrassment and potential anger by research partners is considerable and has implications for future collaborations,” the email said.

Parents were told their children would be supervised at all times and there would be a licensed paramedic or registered nurse on staff. According to the internal review, these claims were not true.

During the nighttime, camper to staff ratios were as low as 1-to-20, violating standards from the American Camp Association.

Not one person on staff

had the necessary background to manage a residential summer camp, according to the internal review. Weaver hired a camp manager who had experience working with children from low socioeconomic backgrounds for the second session.

While the IRB mandated online training if the study were to resume for the second session, nearly 13 percent of counselors did not complete it, according to the internal review. The camp manager did not go through the required training until the day the study closed.

“The questions that were to be answered by the DASH study are tremendously important to the health of our nation’s youth, and our loss of the opportunity to steward this transformative research disappoints us all,” Daniels wrote in an open letter Nov. 28, 2017.

Purdue spokesman Tim Doty said the university does not comment on pending litigation, but referred the Indiana Daily Student to the following statement from Purdue: “The university has acknowledged that mistakes

were made regarding the operation of the residential camp associated with the study,” according to Purdue’s statement. “It will continue to work in good faith to remedy any adverse impacts sustained as a result of those events.”

IU spokesman Chuck Carney said the University’s involvement in Camp Dash was minimal. IU received $47,000 of the $8.8 million NIH grant to fund one person, Tamara Hannon, to help with the initial set-up of the project.

Hannon, a pediatrics professor at IU School of Medicine, was responsible for recruiting and screening participants, according to the lawsuit. The lawsuit claims Hannon did not properly account for the adolescents’ backgrounds to determine whether they could be a risk to other participants in the study.

IU was absent from Purdue’s investigation, but allegedly collaborated with the other defendants in failing to oversee the participants’ safety, according to the complaint.

Attorneys representing L. Lauderdale and the defendants declined to comment for this story.

The BFC also added a new fresh start policy allowing students pursuing their first baccalaureate degree who have taken at least a 36-month hiatus to return to the University with a blank GPA. New retirement program for faculty The BFC announced in a September meeting that it planned to change the retirement program for IU faculty and staff.

Another future idea Conner Syrek has is to open a location closer to campus that will be more geared toward students instead of townies, but said he knows that dream is far off.

“It’s a very slow process,” he said. “If there’s one thing I don’t do, it's overextend and I would like to build that or have that become a thing once this has garnered profit, which might take a while.”

This location is far away from campus, so Conner Syrek said it is geared towards locals.

This local feel can be seen in the decorations, which include a wall of photos of local veterans and lesser-known IU athletes.

With five TVs, Conner Syrek said it is a good place to watch IU sports.

Most importantly, Conner Syrek wants to recreate the camaraderie he saw at Talker’s Tap Room.

“You knew everybody and you would walk in the door and everyone would be really happy to see you,” he said. “It's just that atmosphere where everyone knows each other.” away from IU’s current retirement companies, Fidelity Investments and Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America, should be in place by January 2020.

The vote to finalize this change will occur in the spring semester.

Progress toward a new general education requirement Since the beginning of the calendar year the BFC has debated expanding the Diversity in the U.S. course requirement from a requirement within the College of Arts & Sciences to a general education requirement.

This semester, the BFC came one step closer when it established the course learning outcomes for the proposed requirement.

Jack Bielasiak, co-chair of the education policies committee, said the next step in adding Diversity in the U.S. to the general education requirements is determining how the requirement will be implemented into IU’s curriculum.

The BFC will reconvene Jan. 15, 2019, to begin the spring semester.

Demolition began on another house before the living room chandelier could be removed. Joseph Jackson swears the chandelier could be seen from the highway for weeks afterward, still hanging until the bulldozers returned.

Property owners were left to deal with state-hired appraisers and construction crews who seemed oblivious to the emotional toll on the families. Repeatedly, the state’s lawyers cited the centuries-old principle of eminent domain, the right of the government to seize private land for public use. They reminded angry landowners that they were being compensated for the property they lost.

For families such as the Jacksons, no amount of money can bring back the memories, the freedom, the solitude. * * * Joe and Cathy Jackson miss the quiet the most. The darkness of living miles from the nearest streetlight. The stillness that hung over the fields before the sun rose, and the orange glow of sunsets that silhouetted their farmhouse and windmill.

It was a sight 65-year-old Cathy had known almost since she was born. Her family had owned the farm since 1956, when she was 3. Most of her childhood memories revolve around her animals.

She had two pigs, dozens of cows and a donkey named Poncho. Her four favorite kittens, Paul, George, John and Ringo, eventually became Paul, George, Joni and Re-

gina. Her collie, whose official title Barker of Longview was quickly shortened to Barker, accompanied her on all her adventures — whether it was sledding during the winter or riding her horse, Beauty, to the creek tucked in the woods.

Cathy and Joe met in 1970, and less than two years later, they were married and living in a trailer on the same property as her parents and grandparents. Joe decided to build a house, and for two years, he did nothing else, routinely working until 1 a.m.

The property became the family’s community. Cathy’s grandmother lived in the first house on the road, her parents lived in the yellow house on the hill, and Cathy and Joe lived in the house across the pasture.

Every Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, they gathered at Cathy’s parents’ house. Once a week, the family went to her grandmother’s for the “Tuesday Night Special” where the couple got a free supper.

At the end of the day, Cathy always found herself on the porch watching the sky change colors. As night fell, she felt a calmness she couldn’t find anywhere else.

Sitting there, she felt close to God. The porch, she says, was her church. She often told Joe she would live on the farm until the day she died.

That all changed once construction started in 2014, making the property unrecognizable. Dirt constantly coated the windows. Soon the yard was covered in mud

It starts by sending a letter to the owner requesting a “kitchen table meeting,” a process that was implemented as a way to interact with property owners before the surveyors or appraisers get involved.

At the meeting, owners can ask questions or discuss special features of the prop-

Watching the construction literally made Cathy sick. She was depressed. She started having severe headaches and stomach aches.

She knew she needed to move out.

erty.

Then, a surveyor or geotechnical crew takes soil samples, and an appraiser sets a price. The owner has 30 days to consider the offer.

If the owner does not accept, the state can condemn the home and take it.

That’s when Kristopher Fuller, a condemnation attorney who has represented at least 25 property owners, comes in. Fuller’s firm hires geologists, engineers, experts and realtors to decide whether or not the state is offering the best price for the land.

Most cases settle in medi-

ation without having to go to trial, Fuller said. Often, owners receive much more than the state initially offered.

Fuller’s job is to make the process go as smoothly as possible, and while state lawyers and appraisers are understanding, it’s not always easy.

“Obviously it’s an emotional situation,” Fuller said.

Even before a final agreement, however, the state has the power to take the land and start construction, according to state documents.

As soon as the court receives a deposit from the agency, even if it’s not the final price, the agency can take the land.

The goal for large projects like I-69 is to have the smallest effect on the environment, both built and natural, INDOT project manager Sandra Flum said.

The final decision of where to take land for Section 5 came after testing different alternatives. INDOT came up with the best option for where to put in the road to ensure access to I-69, according to state documents, based on project goals, costs, effects, and engineering and safety design considerations.

Because most of Sec-

Janice and Donald Spriggs didn’t remember a lot about the process, but Janice knew specifically that the buyers didn’t appear to care about them.

The couple sat across from state-contracted buyers at their kitchen table in December 2013. The buyers were as cold as could be, 75-year-old Janice remembers.

The appraiser slid the initial offer across the table. It was much lower than Donald, 79, expected. There was no way they could replace the land they had with that amount of money.

“We don’t really care if you take it or leave it,” Janice remembers the buyer saying. “You can go to court, but you’ll probably lose.”

This wasn’t the first time Janice and Donald, who had been living on the property since 1961, went through this process. About 40 years ago, the state took a small portion of land at the edge of their property to widen State Road 37 to four lanes. This time they wanted the whole house.

But the couple didn’t want to fight. They’d heard the stories. They knew they would lose more money than they would get back. They decided to take the offer.

One day, almost a year after they moved, the couple stood at the edge of their old property and waited. The house they raised their three SEE I-69, PAGE 6

EDITORIAL BOARD

Support alternatives to The Salvation Army charity It’s about that time of year when we can’t make our weekly grocery shopping trips without seeing one of those red Salvation Army buckets awaiting us at the door. Volunteers dressed to some degree as Santa and ringing a single jingle bell implore us to donate to the Salvation Army, be it change, cash or check.

Despite how prevalent it is, we should not be donating to this charity at all. With controversy surrounding the Salvation Army, the editorial board feels that holiday charitable donations should be given elsewhere.

The Salvation Army, a Christian organization, does a wide range of things from organizing soup kitchens and providing holiday meals to international projects to combat poverty. At face value, this seems great. But like many things, the face value may not be all you’re getting.

In recent years, The Salvation Army has received criticism over its allegedly antiLGBT views and actions.

Prior to 2013, the Salvation Army listed two links under its resource collection for sex addiction which were “ex-gay” or reparative therapy groups.

Reparative or conversion therapy, a therapy process designed to turn gay people straight, is a direct contradiction to their statement about non-discrimination. Conversion therapy in the past has included inducing vomiting while making the patient watch homoerotic films, electroshock therapy, psychological abuse and more.

While the Salvation Army

has recently done a lot to save face amidst these allegations, including curating a fairly new LGBT outreach program, it’s worrisome that this organization ever endorsed those groups. After backlash, the links to these groups were taken down, but the message stands loud and clear.

It is good to see a turn in attitudes, there are several other charitable organizations that don’t have a history of homophobic policies.

Outside of the moral issue, it’s important to approach any holiday monetary donations with an effective altruistic approach. Essentially, this means using resources such as GiveWell.org to find out which organizations use money the most effectively to help people in need.

Donating money to groups who do very little with it kind of negates the whole premise.

Donating to a charity shows support for this group and encourages what it is doing. A donation is an endorsement, no matter how charitable. When people donate to organizations that parade as charity, but may not actually have solid values, it raises eyebrows.

To address another issue around holiday giving, that money is not the only thing one can give. There are local charities and shelters constantly looking for volunteers to help with various outreach programs, and if people find themselves in a tight spot financially but still want to help out, volunteering may just be the route to take.

ILLUSTRATION BY MADELYN POWERS | IDS

It’s hard to always understand where money actually goes after a donation, and sometimes charities do very little to clear that confusion.

By donating time rather than

money, one can experience exactly where their donation is going — one can see who they are helping, what the environment is truly like and how the charity operates out-

side its web page.

It is imperative to do research before donating to any charity. It’s simply a safeguard to make sure that this charity is actually charity — not

furthering discrimination or hateful stipulations. And if nothing else, keep in mind that donating things other than money, such as time, may be a better strategy.

EMMA GETZ IT

SIDE WITH SANDERS

We don't have to eulogize George H. W. Bush

PETA crossed a line

Emma Getz is a junior in English and history.

Former President George H. W. Bush died Nov. 30 at age 94. Politicians and public figures everywhere are memorializing him, no matter their political affiliation. He is scheduled to have multiple memorial services this week.

Enough people have written about his demeanor and grace. The Washington Post called him “honorable, gracious and decent.” The New Yorker even published a piece titled “The Irreducible Niceness of George H.W. Bush,” which, at this point, is just tone-deaf.

There is nothing wrong with pointing out the flaws of an important public figure right after his death — in fact, it is necessary. It is imperative that we are aware of the crimes of the past so we do not repeat them in the future. Looking at Bush with rose-colored glasses just washes his misdeeds into the void.

I propose that instead of eulogizing Bush, we eulogize the AIDS victims and the civilians in Iraq and many other nations who died due to his decisions and actions.

Bush served as president from Jan. 20, 1989 to Jan. 20, 1993, taking over from where Ronald Reagan left

off in the AIDS crisis, which was not only a devastating tragedy but a deliberate slaughtering by the U.S. government of mostly gay men.

According to the National Center for Health Statistics, in 1989 there were 21,628 AIDS deaths in the United States. The total kept rising throughout his presidency, and in 1992 there were 32,407 deaths.

Bush was not only inactive in funding AIDS treatment but took a public stance against the victims of AIDS, offering them incredibly homophobic remarks.

“Here’s a disease where you can control its spread by your own personal behavior,” Bush said in 1991. “You can’t do that in cancer.”

He did sign the Ryan White Care Act into law in 1990, but this was after immense pressure from ACT UP and other activist groups. Prominent AIDS activist Larry Kramer was later asked by the Washington Blade if Bush deserved credit for that, at the very least.

His response was succinct and appropriate.

“I will not give him credit for anything,” Kramer said.

“He hated us.”

Overall, more than 100,000 people in the U.S. died of AIDS during his presidency. Of course, his numerous war crimes only add to this list of deaths.

During the Persian Gulf war, 88,500 tons of bombs were dropped on Iraq and Kuwait in 43 days. Seventy percent of these bombs missed their targets, killing innocent civilians. The Bush Administration did not release this information until after the war was over.

Iraq’s infrastructure was completely destroyed due to these bombings and the subsequent ground attacks.

UNICEF reported 4,000 more children under 5 died every month in Iraq than would have died before Western sanctions.

There is not any remorse on Bush’s part for any of these crimes. In 1988, when the USS Vincennes mistakenly downed an Iran Air commercial flight and killed 290 civilians, his response was “I will never apologize for the United States — I don't care what the facts are.”

This does not even begin to list all of the horrific war crimes for which he is responsible, but it is a start.

Unsurprisingly, he also has a racist history. He opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Bill while running for Senate, then vetoed another civil rights bill in 1990.

His presidential campaign even featured the disturbingly racist “Willie Horton” ad in response to his opponent Michael Duka-

kis being, in his own words, “soft on crime." The advertisement featured black convict Willie Horton that left prison for a weekend furlough program and raped a woman and stabbed her husband. The victims were white, so naturally Bush’s advertisement played directly into racist stereotypes of black-on-white crime in an attempt to scare racist white people into voting for him.

Of course, I understand the sentiment of only mentioning the positive aspects of someone’s life when they die, but I believe this is a sentiment reserved more for private citizens. You wouldn’t mention the fact that your great uncle had an affair at his funeral, but it is different when the person was the president and responsible for the deaths of so many innocent people.

This is not to say people cannot grapple with the death of a public figure in their own way. I simply want to present the facts and make sure people are aware of the victims of Bush’s administration, policies and actions. When thinking about Bush in the midst of all of his memorial services and events, spare some thoughts for all of those victims, too. emmagetz@iu.edu

Elsbeth Sanders is a sophomore in molecular life sciences.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals tweeted Dec. 5 that people should stop using “anti-animal language,” and they labeled such a thought as social justice.

One of the suggestions was that instead of saying, “Kill two birds with one stone,” we should say “Feed two birds with one scone.”

Following up on the post, PETA also tweeted, “Just as it became unacceptable to use racist, homophobic, or ableist language, phrases that trivialize cruelty to animals will vanish as more people begin to appreciate animals for who they are.”

Not only are PETA’s suggestions hilariously and silly, they aren’t needed. Changing traditional phrases to new, cuter ones is not going to stop factory farming or animal cruelty.

If they would have stopped with just their inane chart, then it really would not have been enough for me to actually care. PETA often makes fools of themselves online. The issue with its statement is that they compared uttering the phrase “beating a dead horse” to real-life, everyday racism, homophobia and ableism.

These aren’t even close to the same things. The main two things PETA uses its activism to combat are animal testing and the meat industry. While I agree that both of these things are a problem, they aren’t social problems. They’re systematic issues that cannot be solved with a simple change of language. Bigotry against people is entirely different.

While oppression of individuals is absolutely systematic, there is also a huge social aspect to it. Normalizing negative phrases against oppressed

people, such as “that’s so gay," actually has an effect on how people are viewed by their bosses, coworkers, friends and family.

PETA has a history of inappropriate comparisons between historical tragedies and factory farming. In one such instance they compared pigs in the slaughterhouse to victims of the Holocaust. Needless to say, comparing pigs that are being killed for food — regardless of the issues of the industry — to a genocide that wiped out millions of people is completely uncalled for.

Another ill-advised PETA advertisement campaign was an image of a black woman, Rozonda Thomas, naked, covered in body paint and sitting in a cage. This is a double whammy, as it employs both sexism and racism. The comparison of black people and animals has a long and extremely racist history, and it has no place in advertising.

There’s also the fact that PETA feels the need to compare women to animals. Which they do ... a lot.

In theory, the ideas that PETA has are actually pretty good. The world does have a problem with factory farming and with cruel animal testing, but the organization goes about changing things the entirely wrong way. Trying to fix one social issue is not an excuse to piggyback onto the anger caused by other problems. The comparison is at best tacky and at worst actively terrible.

If you support the ethical treatment of animals, consider placing your support in local farms, no-kill shelters or politicians who have similar views. These things can actually bring about direct change and leave the bigotry out of it. elssande@iu.edu

A central air conditioning-system circulates air throughout the whole building instead of in each individual room. This will include renovating piping and air ducts.

Renovations will also include new room designs and common spaces. The quads will have a modern look similar to more recently renovated residence halls like Forest and Wells Quads and Read Center.

Although Forest, McNutt and half of Teter Quad will not be open next school year, Carney said incoming freshmen won’t have to worry about where they are living.

As IU continued to build momentum toward a possible equalizer, Maryland put the game out of reach with a little under 11 minutes remaining after another set piece defensive mistake from the Hoosiers.

On the free kick, Maryland sent the ball in from almost midfield toward the box and as no one could put a head on it, junior defender Donovan Pines made a sliding effort to tap the ball into the back of the net.

Once Maryland scored the second goal, it felt like the air was sucked out of the Hoosier faithful.

With eight seniors getting set to graduate, this year seemed like the best opportunity for IU to finally find that ninth star, but the quest for nine will continue for another season.

During the worst of the State Road 37 construction traffic, his shop became the place for drivers to come if they needed gas or if their car overheated. Few knew the sacrifice Robertson, 58, made so they could drive on that almost completed highway.

He saw the highway devour the forest at the edge of his dad’s Greene County property almost eight years ago, and he knew his land would be next.

He got his letter in 2014.

The state wanted to buy part of his property and the dou-

He met with the statehired appraisers and buyers.

“They were like bullies,” Robertson said.

He hired a lawyer who eventually worked out a deal so he could keep his home, but it needed to be moved to the back of the property.

When Robertson couldn’t find someone to move it fast enough, the state hired a team to do it. They worked for four days — two before Christmas and two after.

He’d lived there since 2001. He used to have a large field and a line of trees blocking him from the road.

Sample Road is the only exit between Martinsville and Walnut Street. It’s the perfect place for gas stations or truck stops or McDonald’s. Maybe even a Cracker Barrel. In a way, Robertson’s excited about the possibility. Maybe he could use the money for retirement.

ON THE BALL WITH D-WALL

This wasn’t how the season was supposed to end for IU men’s soccer Dylan Wallace is a junior in journalism.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — Right before the game started Friday night, senior Andrew Gutman stared up at the video board that showed a highlight package of the College Cup teams. The video counted down from ten, signifying the start of the game, and as soon as it hit one, the package displayed, “Are you ready?”

Gutman stared at it with his hands on his hips. Of course he was ready. Of course his team was ready as they have showed time and time again this season.

But, the way the first half played out, it looked as if IU wasn’t ready. That slow start ultimately cost IU a 2-0 loss to Maryland to end its season.

Perhaps ready isn’t the right word. Coach Todd Yeagley is a clever coach with mastermind game plans, but this wasn’t the same explosive, aggressive IU offense everyone has seen this season.

This was similar to last year’s College Cup run. IU’s offense looked dominant all year, and then when the Hoosiers went to Philadelphia, they got complacent and allowed the opponents to dictate the pace.

After allowing Notre Dame control possession in the first half of IU’s last game, you’d think the Hoosiers would make sure that didn’t happen in the next round.

But, there seems to be something about the College Cup that changes the Hoosiers’ persona. Maybe it’s coaching. Maybe when the stakes are high, Yeagley wants to play it safe to ensure his team doesn’t push too far up

and allow the opponent to get good chances.

Maybe it’s just the nerves of the players. After Notre Dame, Yeagley said the big crowd at Bill Armstrong Stadium made the players a little nervous and took them out of their game. Even though this game wasn’t played in Bloomington, a good amount of Hoosier fans showed up.

Mix that in with the “go home or advance to the National Championship” stakes and perhaps the team was just nervous.

Whether it’s nerves or

coaching, something isn’t going right for IU when it makes it to the final four teams.

It’s not like the team this year and last year were similar either. This year’s team was comprised of winners, and unlike last year, IU won the Big Ten regular season championship and the Big Ten Tournament championship.

They accomplished goals two of three and were rolling on all cylinders. They couldn’t be stopped by anyone since Oct. 3.

They claimed the No. 1 ranking in the NCAA and the

No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament. All the stars were aligning for IU to win the program’s ninth championship.

This wasn’t how the season was supposed to end.

That’s what made this game so hard to watch. This team is so dedicated to one another, so dedicated to soccer and so dedicated to winning that every missed chance felt like a harder punch to the gut.

There were so many opportunities in the second half where IU could have equalized the game, but this didn’t

feel like the typical IU onslaught that foreshadows a goal.

Instead, the closer the Hoosiers got to scoring and didn’t convert, the more it felt like IU’s season was going to end.

Maryland made sure of that in the 79th minute when it scored off a free kick. It was the only offense Maryland saw all second half and because IU spent so much time on the attack, one defensive lapse was all that was necessary.

That was the theme of the

game. IU was too focused on the implications or consequences of this game that they got away from what got them to this point.

And now the quest for nine is delayed once more.

But, this time the quest for nine will no longer be under the leadership of IU’s eight seniors — Gutman, Austin Panchot, Trevor Swartz, Francesco Moore, Rece Buckmaster, Cory Thomas, Jeremiah Gutjahr and Timmy Mehl, who were the core of IU’s run this year.

Most seniors were in tears at Harder Stadium on Friday, hugging their teammates, coaches, family and friends.

Gutman and Panchot walked toward the IU crowd and applauded them to thank them for the support over their fouryear careers.

These seniors meant a lot to this program, but Yeagley said it best after the game.

“In particular this senior group, I feel like they’ll go down as one of the best teams that has ever worn a uniform,” Yeagley said. “That’s a very powerful comment, but I felt very strongly about that. I’m just proud. Proud of this team and proud of the seniors in particular. They’ve taken this program into new heights and that’s difficult to do.”

Who knows what lies ahead for the IU men’s soccer team. They have young talented players and the ability to recruit high-caliber prospects.

The program’s slogan is in fact the tradition of excellence. But, all these College Cup appearances might start getting old without capturing the National Championship. dswallac@iu.edu

Looking back, moving forward: Fall 2018 season recaps

By IDS Sports Staff sports@idsnews.com

IU Cross-Country IU cross-country is poised to return next fall as a tale of two halves. The men’s team saw promising runners rise to the occasion this season — despite their inexperience — and will have top runners junior Kyle Mau and junior Ben Veatch back next season. Mau finished 49th in the NCAA National Championship race but earned Big Ten All-Conference and Great Lakes All-Region Honors.

Veatch, who competed in the national meet in 2017, was given a medical redshirt and didn’t compete for the Hoosiers on the cross-country course. Dustin Horter and Arjun Jha ran in the team’s top-five as true freshmen and will be back with good experience under their belts.

Horter joined Mau representing the Hoosiers as an All-Conference and All-Region athlete.

The women’s team said goodbye to three of its top runners this season, as they are slated to graduate this year. Sarah Schmitt will be a runner to watch next season along with Lexa Barrott. As a true freshman, Schmitt consistently finished third for

the Hoosiers behind seniors Maggie Allen and Katherine Receveur before missing the end of her season due to injury. Barrott, who will be a senior next year, was a top-five contributor as well.

They will be in a position to lead IU next season while attempting to fill the shoes of two All-Americans.

Both teams reached the national meet in the same year for the first time since 2013. The men’s young corps will look to continue contributing to the team, while the women must evaluate and rebuild their top group of runners that has since been disbanded.

Football The second year of the Tom Allen Era ended the same way as the first, as IU came up one win short of bowl eligibility after a 2821 loss to Purdue in the Old Oaken Bucket game. After starting the year 3-0, the Hoosiers lost six of their last seven games to finish the season at 5-7.

Despite the disappointing end to the season, freshman running back Stevie Scott was a revelation in the backfield for the Hoosiers. Scott featured in all 12 games for IU and averaged five yards

Exam Week

per carry, racking up 1,137 yards and ten touchdowns on the year. No matter who suits up at quarterback next season, IU fans can count on Scott to produce out of the backfield.

Sophomore Peyton Ramsey took nearly all of the snaps at quarterback this season. Despite throwing for nearly 3,000 yards and 19 touchdowns, Ramsey struggled with turnovers at times and threw 13 interceptions.

The quarterback battle could be an interesting one in the offseason, but that will depend on the recovery timetable for freshman Michael Penix Jr. who suffered a torn ACL in the loss to Penn State.

One player to keep an eye on with regard to next season is Reese Taylor. In his first year suiting up for IU, Taylor played nearly everywhere.

Aside from lining up at receiver and returning the occasional kickoff, Taylor also lined up on the defensive side of the ball at cornerback.

The IU coaching staff has raved about Taylor’s versatility, and that could turn him into a star for the 2019 season.

Field Hockey The IU field hockey team had its fair share of struggles

12/10 - 12/14

in a season that ended with a disappointing defeat to Michigan State in the Big Ten Tournament. The Hoosiers finished 4-13, with just one win in conference play and were never able to put together long stretches of consistency.

The Hoosiers struggled offensively the entire season, especially in conference play. IU could only muster 19 goals this season, three fewer than the amount of penalties the Hoosiers received. Junior Kelsey Giese led the team in goals this season who had four goals and two assists for a total of ten points.

Junior midfield Ciara Girouard followed that up with seven points. Seniors Taylor Swope, Claire Woods and Nora Aucker rounded out the top five scorers on the team this past season. Despite all that, there were still a handful of bright spots throughout the season. IU played ranked teams such as Louisville and Northwestern very close.

As well, IU was able to find consistent play from young talent such as freshman Hailey Couch and sophomore goalie Sachi Ananias.

IU still has a fair share of questions to answer this off season, especially after the resignation of head coach

Amanda Janney Misselhorn.

IU is now in full search for a coach who will inherit a roster stock full of talent. With returning players such as Ciara Girouard, Kelsey Giese, Hailey Couch and Rylee Pearson, the Hoosiers will have no shortage of offensive firepower next season.

IU will be looking to get back to the NCAA Tournament next season for the first time since 2009.

Women’s Soccer The women’s soccer team had a promising start to their 2018 campaign when it began at 6-1-2. The Hoosiers entered the thick of conference play, where a four-game skid acted as their downfall.

IU needed to win out against Penn State and Maryland to stand a chance at making the Big Ten Tournament. A trip to the conference tournament would have been the team’s third appearance under former coach Amy Berbary.

Senior forward Abby Allen had an equalizing goal for the Hoosiers against the Nittany Lions in the first half, but it was all Penn State from there. The team locked down a 4-1 road win to knock IU from postseason contention.

Semester Break

A 1-0 win at Maryland concluded the team’s season, finishing 8-8-2. Of the Hoosiers eight graduating seniors, four of them rounded out the team’s season scoring list.

Allen’s eight goals and 23 points lead the way for IU. Forward Mykayla Brown had a second-best 14 points, while forwards Annelie Leitner and Maya Piper had 11 each.

Despite the team’s best record since 2013, IU athletics did not renew Berbary’s contract. Less than a month after the announcement, the team hired Erwin van Bennekom.

Coming over from Duke, van Bennekom has established himself as one of the better assistants in the country. The Blue Devils went as far as the National Championship in their four seasons with him as an assitant.

With several open starting positions and a large incoming freshman class, van Bennekom will try to steer IU back toward the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2013.

THE GOOD BOOK

A visit from St. Nicholas

By Clement C. Moore

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, 1 In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds; While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled our brains for a long winter’s nap, When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter. 2 Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow, Gave a lustre of midday to objects below, When what to my wondering eyes did appear, But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein-deer, 3 With a little old driver so lively and quick, I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick.

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name: “Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now Prancer and Vixen!

4 On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen!

To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!

Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”

As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky; So up to the housetop the coursers they flew With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too— And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.

As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.

5 He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a pedler just opening his pack.

His eyes—how they twinkled! his dimples, how merry!

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow; The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath; He had a broad face and a little round belly That shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, 6 And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread; 7 He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose; He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

8 But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight— 9 “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

Grad student fights online harrasment

By Kathleen Clark-Perez kpclark@iu.edu | @KatPerezIN

ILLUSTRATION BY MADELYN POWERS | IDS

A look at the language beneath ‘St. Nicholas’ Clark Gudas Is a senior in English.

We all know Santa Claus, the jolly philanthropist of the North Pole. But where did he come from? Though inspired by the real-life St. Nicholas, who lived circa 280, many credit Clement C. Moore's 1823 poem as the origin of the modern character. Above is the poem printed in its entirety, along with insight as to how it defined our modern Saint Nick.

1. Author Washington Irving is often credited with the birth of the modern St. Nick in 1809. Moore’s version builds that into the much more recognizable

character of today. CocaCola further developed Santa Claus in the 1920s and ‘30s.

2. Moore is said to have written the poem during a shopping trip for his children on a sleigh. No one knew he wrote the poem until 1844, due to his reluctance to associate with the “unscholarly” work. He ended up acknowledging it at the insistence of his children, for whom he wrote the poem.

3. Though artists had depicted St. Nick with a single reindeer before, this is the first appearance of all eight reindeer. Rudolph, the legendary ninth, came in a

1939 book by Robert L. May.

elf, sometimes a human.

4. Moore originally named these two reindeer “Dunder” and “Blixem,” Dutch for “Thunder” and “Lightning,” respectively. Editor Edmund Stedman reprinted the poem in 1900 with the updated German names, which carry the same meaning.

7. Moore shows class bias: By portraying St. Nick as a fur-wearing, pipe-smoking, soot-stained man from the chimney, he portrays the idea that St. Nick might be a lower-class thief.

5. Many of St. Nick’s characteristics — his sooty, pipe smoking and jovial demeanor — are taken from a friendly Dutch handyman Moore knew.

6. Before the Coca-Cola advertising campaigns in the ‘20s and ‘30s, St. Nick was sometimes depicted as an

8. Later versions of the poem change “ere” to “as,” which changes the meaning. “Ere” indicates the exclamation was heard before he disappeared. “As” indicates it happened as St. Nick vanished.

9. The expression “Merry Christmas” arose from this line. ckgudas@iu.edu

When Hyra Basit traveled to IU in 2018, her goal was to learn how to make films to empower women and girls, especially in her home country of Pakistan.

But first, she learned the art of defending them from online harassment.

“In some cases, we have had actual death threats,” Basit said.

Recalling her work with the Digital Rights Foundation, Basit said women and girls told her they couldn’t tell their brothers or fathers because they would kill them.

Basit, 24, a graduate student in Design and Production, helped found a cyber harassment helpline for the Digital Rights Foundation in 2016. The foundation is run by lawyers, behavioral health specialists and digital security experts who counsel citizens about online safety and urge politicians to increase resources to local police for investigating cyber harassment.

The group works with social media companies such as Facebook and Youtube to remove posts that put citizens in danger.

The helpline provides counsel to anonymous callers who are experiencing online stalking and unsolicited online contact. It also assists those facing threats of physical or sexual violence for having an online presence.

In 2016 Pakistani socialmedia celebrity Qandeel Baloch, who was known for posting risque photographs and videos online, was drugged and strangled to death by her brother Waseem Azeem in what police said was an honor killing, according to Reuters.

“Girls are born only to stay at home and to bring honor to the family by following family traditions, but Qandeel had never done that,” Azeem told The New Yorker.

Each year in Pakistan, more than 500 people, who are mostly women, die in honor killings according to a report from Reuters.

Honor killings are usually performed by family members who believe the victim’s actions have brought shame to their household and community.

The possibility of posting photographs on social media is a point of contention for many families in Pakistan because it is believed that young women should not be viewed by people without the consent of their parents, Basit said.

“She is the object of the house, and everybody has this say on what she can and cannot do," Basit said in reference to young women in Pakistan. "If they somehow find out that she’s active online, then she is immoral.

She is not pure anymore.”

Seventy percent of women in Pakistan fear posting personal photos online because the photos could be used for blackmail, according to a Digital Rights Foundation report released

in 2018.

“Even if they know there is no such picture of them online, a random person could just come up to them and be like, ‘If you don’t talk to me, if you don’t meet me, I have these pictures of you, and I will send them to your family,’” Basit said. “Without thinking for even a second, they fall into that trap. They are so scared. They give into the blackmailer.”

In most cases, young women do not actually use their real names or photos on social media. Basit said they usually use photos of actresses and aliases.

Basit said the Digital Rights Foundation began by starting up digital security awareness sessions in schools, typically for young women between the ages of 17 and 25. The sessions provided information on what online harassment looks like for young women, and on rare occasions young men, and gave tips on how people can protect themselves.

“After every single session, a bunch of girls would come up to them and be like ‘Oh, by the way, I haven’t told this to anyone. I can’t tell my friends. I can’t tell my family, but this is what I am facing right now,’” Basit said.

“There were way too many cases for me to help individually.”

Members of the foundation decided they needed a larger platform in order to reach the number of young women facing online harassment in Pakistan.

“The helpline was started, and I helped along with my supervisor to literally form everything from the policies to making connections with the law enforcement agencies there, making connections with other helplines around the world,” Basit said.

The cyber harassment helpline fielded 1,908 calls in its first year, according to the foundation’s biannual report.

“We give psychological support to victims or whoever calls us, digital security help or advice and legal help,” Basit said.

The foundation assists young women in deciding if they need to work with law enforcement for their case, in deleting their presence from the web if necessary and in receiving psychological counseling.

“One of the biggest problems with online harassment is that no one considered the mental toll it takes on you," Basit said. "Especially when you feel like you can’t share this with anyone."

Basit said it is difficult to measure how successful the helpline is because the identity of the women calling is always unknown. The anonymity puts callers at ease because women who call are often concerned the things they say on the helpline might be told to their parents.

“I personally would measure my level of success by every time at the end of a call when a caller would be SEE BASIT, PAGE 10

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 like: ‘I’m feeling so much better now, I’m feeling hopeful actually,’” Basit said.

Shmyla Khan, project manager of the Digital Rights Foundation, said Basit’s enthusiasm for helping women made her a perfect fit for the job.

“Hyra is extremely empathetic in the cases that she deals with,” Khan said. “She has endless compassion that translates into the work that she does.”

Basit’s family is not against her using social media.

“My life and the people I’m connected with, it’s a very closed off circle, so my experiences are very different from the experiences of the majority of the people in Pakistan," Basit said. "I would be considered an elite in Pakistan. I am very westernized.”

While Basit’s parents are very supportive of her education and work and have given her lots of freedom, they are still holding onto a cultural practice of which Basit is not a fan: arranged marriage.

“I’ve been trying to avoid it for a good three years now and they were like, ‘Well if you actually want to not get married, go do your master’s,’” Basit said.

Basit wants to complete her master’s degree regardless of an arranged marriage, but it was an incentive to apply, she said.

“However open my parents are or however supportive my parents are, there’s still these things that come up,” Basit said. “It’s just a whole society thing.”

WORDS WITH WILL

NBA is undergoing a scoring boom. College hoops could follow suit.

Will Coleman is a sophomore in journalism.

In week one this NBA season, we saw the Minnesota Timberwolves score 136 points in regulation. KarlAnthony Towns put together a 31-point performance, Derrick Rose pitched in 28 points off the bench, but Minnesota lost to Dallas.

If you’ve been keeping up with the NBA this season, you know that you’re bound to see some startling final scores on any given day. The Timberwolves stunning fourpoint defeat marked the first time a team had scored that many points in a regulation loss since 1992.

It’s no secret that teams are scoring more than ever.

In fact, every team in the league is averaging more than 100 points per game, even the 5-18 Cleveland Cavaliers. Four seasons ago, just half of the league was scoring at that rate.

It didn’t happen overnight. League scoring averages have been on an up-

ward trend since the late 1990s and early 2000s, when points came at more of a premium than today.

A catalyst to all of this has been the last six seasons, specifically from behind the arc. Since 2013, league records for three-point field goals attempted and made have been shattered by the end of each season.

People are wondering where all these points are coming from because league average shooting percentages are down since last year.

The driving factor behind this scoring boom is pace, which measures a team’s estimated number of possessions over 48 minutes.

The current league average for pace is at 100. Should that triple-digit figure remain in tact at the end of the season, it would be the first league average more than 100 in 30 years.

It’s not necessarily that the NBA is becoming more talented from top to bottom, but rather that teams are moving the ball up the

court quickly and wasting less time before shooting. Today’s coaches instill a certain mindset in their players that, like the ball, they should always be moving.

The league average for offensive rating, points scored per 100 possessions, is currently at 109.7, which would be an all-time high spread

across a full season. The three most efficient offensive seasons in league history have taken place in the last 10 years.

What’s most interesting here is that the best teams in the NBA struggle to defend against their opponents.

The Milwaukee Bucks are leading the league in scor-

ing with an astounding 121.4 points per game. Even with their 15-7 record, they manage to allow 111.3 points per game.

If we are to call anyone pioneers of this movement, it’s former most valuable players, James Harden and Stephen Curry. Over the last three seasons, they have the two most three point attempts in the league. The pair of guards have seen early success this season averaging 30.6 and 29.4 points per game, respectively.

In a matter of months, we’ll most likely bare witness to the rookie debuts of future stars Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett and other members of the 2019 draft class.

According to ESPN’s Jonathan Givony, next year’s top seven draft prospects are all current freshman, including IU’s Romeo Langford.

This freshman class is already tearing up the NCAA. Ninety three Division I teams currently have an offensive rating over 110, one season after just 64 teams

finished at that mark.

No. 3 Duke is at the center of it all. In their first game of the year, the Blue Devils trounced the then-No. 2 Kentucky Wildcats 118-84.

In the first half, RJ Barrett splashed home a deep three to give Duke a 21-point lead less than nine minutes into the game.

The Blue Devils are no stranger to success in March, but their squad has the potential to do serious damage this season. Just last week, Duke’s freshman class outscored all of IU’s team en route to a 90-69 win as a part of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.

Teams are scoring at monumental rates in the NBA, and the league’s talent has never been distributed more evenly. Williamson is taking the NCAA by storm as one of the most explosive college athletes of our generation. There’s never been a more exciting time to watch basketball than right now. wicolema@iu.edu
