Pinned together Black Freshman Pinning aims to form connections By Nyssa Kruse nakruse@indiana.edu | @nyssakruse

The fifth annual Black Freshman Pinning Ceremony took place Thursday night in the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center. The event is intended to welcome new black students, explain to them the resources available on campus in the NMBCC and elsewhere and introduce the freshmen to black faculty and other black students, said Yolanda Treviño, assistant vice president for diversity, equity and multicultural affairs. “We just really started this as a

way to welcome freshmen,” said Inger Nemcik, operations manager at the NMBCC. “We felt like that’s a precarious group. We really wanted to embrace them. A lot of them are

coming from first-generation families to go to college, and we thought that was some extra level of support that we were offering them.” The event brings together not only IU black faculty and staff, but also black community members. Nimcik said these people can help black freshmen get connected outside campus, give tips on success in IU and act as surrogate parents or family members. During the ceremony, speeches were made by a graduate speaker, SEE PINNING, PAGE 5

These are some of the achievements Darryl McDaniels has racked up as part of legendary rap group Run-D.M.C.: rap’s first platinumselling album, a slew of hits on the R&B and pop charts of the 1980s, a character in a “Guitar Hero” video game and, as of 2009, a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Even though McDaniels, famously known by his stage name, D.M.C., hasn’t released new music since his solo debut “Checks Thugs and Rock n Roll” in 2006, his upcoming stop in Bloomington is a significant occasion, Mitchell Schoeneman of concert presentation service MES Presents said. He’ll perform a 21-plus show at 10 p.m. Friday at Kilroy’s Dunnkirk. “We do a lot of shows at Dunnkirk ... Very seldomly are we able to deliver a legend at a $5 or $10 price point,” Schoeneman, 25, said. “If you appreciate music, it’s one of those things you’re not going to miss.” McDaniels founded Run-D.M.C. in Queens, New York, in 1982 with rapper Joseph “DJ Run” Simmons, now known as Rev Run, and disc jockey Jason “Jam Master Jay” Mizell. Their 1984 self-titled debut album was the first rap album to be certified gold by the RIAA, and their third album, 1986’s “Raising Hell,” SEE DMC, PAGE 5

City signs developer for tech park By Annie Garau agarau@indiana.edu | @agarau6

IU’s defense has been sound, keeping three clean sheets in five games. “I love the way we defended all weekend. We gave so little

In a continuing effort to expand Bloomington’s technology sector, the city announced Wednesday that it signed a letter of intent with a tech park developer. Flaherty & Collins, an Indianapolis-based real estate developer, will be redeveloping six acres of the downtown trade district, located just north of City Hall. This land accounts for only a portion of the 12-acre Certified Technology Park the city purchased from IU in 2011. The intention for the park is “public investments in infrastructure to make the area attractive for private ownership and redevelopment in synergy with the community’s tech park vision,” according to a Facebook page for the City of Bloomington Technology Park Master Plan Project. “It was always our goal from the beginning, when we purchased the properties from Indiana University, to ultimately see those properties returned to the private sector and be redeveloped by the private sector, basically returning them to the tax role,” said Danise Alano-Martin, the city’s director of economic and sustainable development. Last year, the city went through an 18-month planning process that involved community focus groups and meetings with various stakeholders. Then, the city developed a master plan. “This is a significant step in a long planning process and is just getting us closer to the implementation of those goals,” Alano-Martin said, referring to the letter of intent.

IU plays ‘Bama in Berticelli Tournament By Lionel Lim lalimwei@indiana.edu | @lionellimwx

IU seemed to have put the late 1-0 loss to Notre Dame last Sunday behind them as they prepared to head north to play in the Mike Berticelli Memorial Tournament this weekend in South Bend, Indiana. “We are all still encouraged and ready to go,” senior forward Femi Hollinger-Janzen said. “We played a great game both Friday and Sunday, so we have nothing to be ashamed about that loss on Sunday. Moving forward we just keep it positive and keep it moving.” IU will go up against Alabama on Friday for its first game of the tournament. Redshirt junior midfielder Phil Fives said he felt the Crimson Tide’s defense may not be as regimented as Notre Dame’s. IU created plenty of opportunities against Notre Dame on Sunday. The Hoosiers managed 14 attempts on goal and had 10 corners. “I loved our ability to get into dangerous positions, whether it was crosses or penetration into the box,” IU Coach Todd Yeagley said. “We haven’t had that much success against them in years, and they are a really good team.” The only thing lacking was the finish, as the Hoosiers failed to capitalize on any corners, and

only two of the 14 attempts were on target. If the Hoosiers could create that many shooting opportunities against such a regimented defense, then a defense that is not as compact should allow

opportunities for IU, something of which Fives took note. “I think their backline is maybe supposed to be a little shaky and not as compact as Notre Dame’s was, and we are looking to get through them,” Fives said.
