Collins publication awarded as ‘flawless’ By Avery Williams avefwill@iu.edu | @avery_faye

Becoming a published writer, artist or audio creative has never been so easy. "Dancing Star,” Collins LivingLearning Center's literary arts publication, won the Gutenberg Award for its 2017-18 edition. The Great Lakes Graphics Association presented the awards on May 22. "We are extremely proud to represent such outstanding print organizations," GLGA president Joseph Lyman said. The Gutenberg, also known as the “Best of Category”, is only awarded to “flawless” publications according to a GLGA press release. Many years there is no winner because no publication reaches the GLGA's standards. The publications are evaluated by graphics experts in March. Yara Clüver, associate director of Collins LLC, is in charge of “Dancing Star.” She said Collins residents apply to become the layout design editor. The publication features all auditory, literary and artistic work submitted by Collins LLC residents.

‘ S T R I C T LY B U S I N E S S ’ IU 2019 class recruits Trayce Jackson-Davis and Armaan Franklin show their abilities in Indiana All-Star blowout against Kentucky By Phillip Steinmetz psteinme@iu.edu | @PhillipHoosier

LOUISVILLE, Ky – Armaan Franklin waited in the left corner as Trayce Jackson-Davis came around to set a pick on the defender. As Franklin dribbled around the play, it gave JacksonDavis the open opportunity as he rolled to the basket and pointed his right index finger to the sky. Franklin immediately passed Jackson-Davis the ball in between the two defenders. As he caught the ball in the middle of the paint, Jackson-Davis didn’t take a single dribble and laid the ball in on the left side after Kentucky failed to strip him. It was only the second basket of the game for the Indiana All-Stars Friday night at Bellarmine University as the team took a two-point lead over the Kentucky All-Stars in

an eventual 33-point victory. But it was a play that IU fans could become used to seeing this upcoming season. “Our coaches talked about how we don’t lose to Kentucky and so many of the Indiana teams didn’t lose to Kentucky,” Jackson-Davis said. “So, we made this week strictly business. We know coming down here on their home turf we’d have to punch them in the mouth and that’s what we did.” After incoming Louisville 4-star guard David Johnson scored the opening basket of the game on a shot he forced up in the paint, Kentucky missed 13 straight shots as Indiana never looked back once it took the lead. Franklin only scored six points but was a major factor for the Indiana defense. He was matched up against Johnson for a majority of the night and held him to only two points in

“Students don’t always realize how important their work outside of class can be.” Yara Clüver, associate director of Collins LLC

Clüver said budgetary constraints and lack of resident submissions can make publishing difficult. Submitting to "Dancing Star" is a way to share one's creativity, she said. "Students don't always realize how important their work outside of class can be," Clüver said. Kade Padgett, who majors in East Asian Languages and Culture, is published in "Dancing Star”. Padgett became involved with the publication when Jesse Grubb, who edited the winning edition, presented a craft workshop in the Collins LLC Coffeehouse. Grubb chose crafts to be featured in the publication, and Padgett's work was chosen. Padgett said he encourages creative people to take advantage of “Dancing Star”. "If you are an artist, this is a great way to say 'Oh I've been published,'" he said. Padgett said real joy comes from being featured in a physical, longstanding university publication. Clüver said the 2019-20 edition of “Dancing Star” will be released the last week of April 2020.

the first half and seven points in the game. After the game, Jackson-Davis called out Franklin for his defensive performance since he thought that Johnson scored 30 points on Franklin in the Junior All-Star game last year. Franklin was quick to mention how it was only 25 points, but he wanted to make sure Johnson wouldn’t have a similar performance this time around. “I think I ramped up my intensity a little bit more and didn’t let him get any easy shots,” Franklin SEE ALL-STAR, PAGE 3

Victims of gun violence honored at Friday event By Ellen Hine emhine@iu.edu | @ellenmhine

Orange-clad citizens gathered on the Monroe County Courthouse lawn Friday night to honor victims of gun violence. Moms Demand Action For Gun Sense in America organized the event for National Gun Violence Awareness Day, the first Friday in June. “It’s to raise awareness and to honor the victims of gun violence and the survivors they leave behind,” Bloomington chapter leader Courtney Daily said. Event organizers asked attendees to wear orange, a tradition created by the friends of 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton, who was shot and killed a week after performing at former President Barack Obama’s second inauguration in 2013. The color orange is used in hunting to signal someone should not shoot. Dailey said she joined Moms Demand Action after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. “I made a promise to myself that night that I was going to somehow get involved in stopping this gun violence epidemic, but I had no idea how I was going to do that,” Daily said. She said she quickly became

involved when she heard a Bloomington chapter of Moms Demand Action had started. Daily opened the event by memorializing the 12 victims of the May 31 mass shooting in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Daily said honoring victims of gun violence through action is more than a one-day event. “It is equally important and vital that we continue this work the rest of the year so that next June when we gather for ‘Wear Orange,’ the list of names is smaller,” Daily said. “And the year after that, even smaller.” Monroe County commissioner Julie Thomas said the Bloomington community needs to push state and federal legislators to enact sensible gun laws and start a cultural shift away from gun violence. “Imagine what this community could look like if we lived without fear of gun violence,” Thomas said. The Monroe County Board of Commissioners then proclaimed June 7-9 as "Wear Orange" weekend. Mary Catherine Carmichael, director of public engagement for the mayor’s office, delivered a proclamation from Mayor John Hamilton declaring June 7, 2019, as National Gun Violence Day in Bloomington. Following the proclamations,

Bloomington community members release orange lanterns June 7 in remembrance of those killed by gun violence. The first Friday in June is National Gun Violence Awareness Day.

the group lit the courthouse with orange lights. Moms Demand Action volunteers helped members of the crowd light orange lanterns and release them to gently float away into the night air. Pam and Chuck Flowers both volunteered at the event. Pam said she felt compelled to take a stand against gun violence. “I just felt like I just couldn’t not do anything,” Pam said. Chuck said both he and Pam feel strongly about limiting access

to firearms people who should not have them. “Not gun control, as such, but just common sense procedures,” Chuck said. “Don’t sell guns out of the back of a car at fairs, things like that. Go through background checks. Give the documentation.” Pam said she hoped the event inspired attendees and passers-by to start speaking out against gun violence. “It’s one heart at a time,” she said.

For the first time since 1992, IU basketball will face off against Florida State University. It was announced Thursday morning the two programs will face off as part of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. IU is 7-11 in the challenge's history while FSU is 9-11 with three straight victories. The Hoosiers have lost their last two games in the challenge, both to Duke University.
