Monroe County Dems call on Barge to resign

By Caroline Anders anders6@iu.edu | @clineands

Nearly two weeks after the Indiana Daily Student broke a story detailing allegations of sexual harassment against Monroe County Commissioner Amanda Barge, the Monroe County Democratic Party has called for her to step down from office.

Former county contractor Brandon Drake alleged Barge sexually harassed him for more than a year

and ultimately played a significant role in forcing him out of his job and professional community.

Barge has repeatedly denied these accusations.

The Monroe County Democratic Party asked that Barge immediately step down as Monroe County Commissioner, according to a Saturday night press release.

It also asked her to publicly say she will not accept the nomination for Bloomington mayor even if she receives more votes than incum-

bent John Hamilton.

Barge suspended her mayoral campaign less than a day after the initial story ran, but her name will still appear on the ballot, and she could still win the nomination. If that happened, she would have until July 15 to withdraw from the November municipal election.

“Commissioner Amanda Barge’s alleged actions are incompatible with public office and the Indiana Democratic Party’s platform,” the Monroe County Democratic Party’s

statement read.

The party wrote that it will continue to defend vulnerable people by holding those in power accountable.

Black Lives Matter Bloomington has also called for Barge to step down as commissioner. Days after the initial story outlining the allegations broke, Barge told Indiana Public Media she would not resign from her seat.

The Monroe County Board of Commissioners has not called for

Barge’s resignation, and Barge has not replied to multiple requests for comment from the IDS on whether she will resign.

In a Saturday night Facebook post, Drake thanked the Monroe County Democratic Party for calling for her resignation.

“This decision from the MCDP reassures me that what I’ve gone through is getting all of us one step closer to meaningful change,” he wrote.

Freedom to Dream Burma Garden owner pursues music while running restaurant TY VINSON | IDS

and this is not his dream.

Allen Aung, 48, is the only cook at Burma Garden on Fourth Street. Aung immigrated to New York with his family as a teenager from Burma, which is now known as Myanmar.

eisaacma@iu.edu | @emilyisaacman

* * * Allen Aung sticks a thin white ticket to the fridge in his restaurant’s tiny kitchen.

He barely gives it a glance before pulling out a container filled with a light purple mixture, scooping out a handful and molding it into patties in his hands.

Allen, the only cook at Burma Garden, inhabits this kitchen with one helper six days a week. In his Adidas pants and pullover, he’s as much at home here as the pots and pans.

He is 48, with graying black hair and a small bald spot.

He cooks dishes on autopilot and rings a bell when he finishes. Allen’s life is dictated by routine.

Among Burmese artwork in the Fourth Street restaurant Allen and his wife run rests a student’s framed article.

“Couple’s American dream comes true,” the headline claims.

Except Allen doesn’t enjoy cooking,

Allen immigrated to New York with his family as a teenager. Back then, leaving the repressive military dictatorship was fundamental to a better life. By the time of a student uprising in 1988, not long after Allen left, Burma was one of the poorest countries in the world.

Burma, renamed Myanmar in 1989, is now known for the mass killings of minority Rohingya Muslims, actions described by the United Nations as genocide.

While Allen left the country before this violence began in 2017, even in America he was subject to the effects of a regime hostile to free expression.

Allen loves music. He graduated from the Institute of Audio Research in New York City and has an audio studio in his Bloomington home.

“It’s in my blood,” he said.

He grew up listening to Led Zeppelin and Metallica. In the early 1990s, Allen recorded a Burmese album with his band “Perfect Sin.” It made sense to market the songs in Burma, but the

group shortened its name to “PS” to avoid censorship from the military dictatorship.

Just one person asked Allen’s producer what the name stood for. Allen remembers him saying something like “Public Service.”

Allen no longer plays music regularly.

He doesn’t have a band close by, and managing the restaurant, cooking for customers and caring for his two kids keeps him tied to a strict schedule.

Sometimes he hears Pink Floyd or John Mayer and picks up his guitar. Music, some of which he worked on, plays in the restaurant. Even though he wakes up at 7 a.m. on weekdays and leaves the restaurant around 10:30 p.m. most nights, SEE BURMA, PAGE 5

In the 2015 Bloomington primary election, there were 15 candidates on the Bloomington City Council ballot.

This year, there will be 20. Six of the candidates are under age 40.

In a year of a distinct increase in people running, candidates’ reasons are varied but carry similar themes.

Some are a part of underrepresented groups on the city council like young people and the working class, and others want fresh ideas and more responsive council members.

Many candidates pin their increased interest in politics on the 2016 national elections.

“To say the 2016 elections has nothing to do with it would be naive,” District 1 council candidate Denise Valkyrie said.

District 4 council candidate Miah Michaelsen said she thinks people are feeling the call to serve to enact the change they want to see.

“For someone who isn’t a career politician, it’s the fact they can serve,” she said.

Michaelsen said she thinks the number of candidates running and the diversity of ideas, despite the majority of the candidates being Democrats, indicates a healthy Democratic party in Bloomington.

For District 1 council candidate Kate Rosenbarger, it’s about a lack of young voices she sees in city government. She said the city is lacking what young adults want and need.

“Bloomington is growing, but young people are not calling it home,” Rosenbarger said.

District 2 council candidate Sue Sgambelluri said she sees the increase in candidates to be a result of the 2016 elections.

“I think it’s a realization that there’s an opportunity to serve every day,” Sgambelluri said. “And there’s also people who really care about certain issues.”

Valkyrie and at-large candidate Vauhxx Booker are running to represent the working class. Booker is a renter, and Valkyrie has been working and going to school to finish her bachelor’s degree for over 20 years.

“I’ve worked and taken classes and taken loans out as I’ve taken classes,” Valkyrie said.

She said she thinks the 2016 election ultimately made people want to get more politically involved.

“They’re starting to understand how important local government is,” Valkyrie said.

Former IU men’s basketball coach Bob Knight returned to IU’s campus Saturday afternoon to take in a baseball game at Bart Kaufman Field.

The 78-year-old Knight arrived prior to the start of IU’s afternoon doubleheader against Penn State, marking his first public and most visible appearance on campus since he was fired in September 2000 and spoke to a crowd in Dunn Meadow.

He entered the stadium on a golf cart driven by an IU official, and was followed in another golf cart by former Herald-Times sports editor Bob Hammel and IU Deputy Director of Athletics Scott Dolson.

Knight watched the game from a suite inside the stadium press box.

As he entered the suite, Knight said “it’s nice being here.”

During his time at IU, Knight led the men’s basketball program to three national championships over his 29-year career.

The Hoosiers also reached five Final Fours under Knight and won 11 Big Ten Regular Season titles.

message he was happy to help Knight attend the baseball game, but hadn’t talked to him yet and didn’t expect to.

Last week, Knight and Hammel spoke at Center Grove High School in Greenwood, Indiana, as part of the event “An Evening With Bob

Similar events occurred in recent years in locations around the state, including at Bloomington High School South and Bloomington High School North.

Last year, an ESPN 30 for 30 documentary, “The Last Days of

Knight,” was released chronicling Knight’s downfall and dismissal from IU. In a 2017 interview on “The Dan Patrick Show,” Knight said he would have “no interest in ever going back to that university,” referencing IU.

Students react to Indiana’s hate crimes bill

By Christine Stephens cistephe@iu.edu | @cistephenson23

Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a bill Wednesday that aims to create hate crime protections.

For decades, Indiana has been one of five states that did not have laws under which hate crimes can be prosecuted. But even now, some are still disappointed with the outcome.

The new law, which takes effect in July, allows judges to impose harsher penalties on criminals who victimize others because of bias. But where the bill references a list of victim characteristics, such as race and religion, it leaves out sex, age and gender identity.

Although Holcomb has said he would prefer a bill with those three characteristics listed, he supports the bill nonetheless.

“Our new law will allow judges to enhance sentences based on listed and nonlisted categories," Holcomb said in a statement.

Mindi Goodpaster is one of the leaders of Indiana Forward, a coalition of about 700 groups advocating for a hate crimes law.

She said the coalition is disappointed with the new legislation.

“We were hoping for an inclusive law that would include gender and gender identity,” she said. “We are hopeful that the legislature will choose to revisit it and add the missing characteristics in the future.”

Gov. Eric Holcomb speaks Sept. 22, 2017, at the Wylam Center of Flagship East in West Lafayette, Indiana. Holcomb signed a bill April 3 that aims to create hate crime protections.

Doug Bauder, director of IU’s LGBTQ+ Culture Center, said he thinks the bill is just an attempt to get Indiana off the list of states without hate crime legislation, even though it is limited in

scope.

“I guess it’s better than nothing, but it appears to me to be pretty weak,” he said in an email.

Indiana may still be stuck on the list, anyway. The

Anti-Defamation League, which keeps track of states without hate crime laws, said the new legislation has to be more specific and comprehensive, according to a March 7 statement.

Sophomore Tasfia Chowdhury, social justice chair of the Muslim Student Association at IU, said even though the legislation is not ideal, she is still grateful for it.

“I think it’s about time,”

she said. “Indiana is so behind. I’m glad we are protected, but I want other minority groups to be protected, as well.”

Chowdhury said she does not think the legislation will be effective in deterring hate crimes, but it at least shows minority groups they are supported by the state.

“People that are going to commit crimes like that aren’t going to be stopped by it,” she said. “It’s more of a statement. They know the state isn’t on their side.”

This legislation comes a little over a month after Mustafa Ayoubi, an IU graduate, was killed in what some considered a hate crime.

Chowdhury and the Muslim Student Association organized a vigil last month for Ayoubi, who was killed while driving to a friend’s house in Indianapolis. Witnesses told police the shooter yelled religious and racial insults before killing him, according to court documents.

Although the shooting shook Chowdhury, who said religion is a big part of her life, she said she felt the same about hate crime legislation before and after the incident: It needs to happen.

“The lack of action spoke volumes on what the state's priorities were,” she said. “I don’t think you deserve a ton of applause for something you should’ve done a long time ago.”

Deputy city clerk Nico Sigler proposes to Kaisa Goodman on April 3 at the Bloomington City Council meeting in City Hall.

Deputy city clerk makes bold proposal

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

An unexpected proposal happened Wednesday night at the heavily-attended Bloomington City Council meeting.

Nico Sigler, deputy city clerk, stepped up to the podium at the beginning of the meeting to ask his girlfriend, Kaisa Goodman, if she would marry him.

“I am just here to report that I have met the perfect woman,” Sigler said. “Her name is Kaisa Goodman, and I am deeply in love with her.”

He knelt before her with a ring. She grinned and nodded “yes." The couple kissed

as the audience applauded.

Sigler, 31, said he chose city council as the place to propose because both he and Goodman are very involved in local politics.

Goodman, 25, is Mayor John Hamilton’s campaign manager and has been heavily involved with the Monroe County Democratic Party in the past few years.

“I just thought this would be the perfect place to do it,” Sigler said outside council chambers before the newly engaged couple left.

He said he didn’t consider any other way.

The council chambers were packed Wednesday night for the Fourth Street parking garage decision, but

Sigler said it was only a nice coincidence the proposal was on such a well-attended night. He said council president Dave Rollo had helped get him on the meeting’s agenda after hearing Sigler’s plan.

“I understand we have a report from the mayor, and we have a report from the city clerk this evening,” Rollo said as he introduced the agenda Wednesday night.

Sigler said he and Goodman met when they worked at Bloomingfoods about seven years ago and started dating about three years ago.

“I’m just really in shock,” Goodman said. “It’s just been a crazy day.”

The proposal was unex-

pected for Goodman. She sported a white Cardi B Tshirt, which she said is not very characteristic for her appearance at city functions.

Sigler said he was pretty confident of Goodman’s answer, but he was still nervous.

“I mean, what if I messed up on camera?” he said Thursday morning in an interview.

After the crowd’s exclamations had quieted and the newly engaged couple sat down, a smiling Rollo joked perhaps they should just end the meeting then.

“I think that was the best report we’ve ever received,” Rollo said. “Congratulations to you both.”

A Family Video in Bloomington was in a pickle Saturday morning. A man stole money out the register, PlayStation 4 games and three bagged pickles, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Shane Rasche said.

Rasche said security camera footage around 7 a.m. showed a man coming in through a backdoor of the Family Video on South Walnut Street.

The man took three bagged pickles out of the cooler before going behind the counter and getting the $264 in the cash register out.

The value of the stolen pickles was $6.

She reported ten Play-

Station 4 games were missing as well, including a few from the Assassin’s Creed series and Attack on Titan.

The games amount to an estimated $450, Rasche said.

The employee told police she doesn’t usually check if the back door is locked because people don’t use it. She also told police she thought she set the alarm before leaving.

Security footage from a nearby business showed a man riding a bike down an alley behind the business and getting off his bike near the back door of Family Video a few minutes before the burglary.

Rasche said police don’t have a suspect yet but are investigating the incident.

Fourth Street parking garage to be rebuilt

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

The Bloomington City Council approved an $18.5 million bond Wednesday night to fund the rebuilding of the Fourth Street parking garage with a 5-3 vote.

More than 30 people spoke during more than two hours of public comment.

Owners of downtown restaurants and businesses and representatives from Cardinal Stage theater company, Buskirk-Chumley Theater and WonderLab Museum all spoke in favor of the garage’s rebuild.

“Parking for businesses is like water,” Jeff Mease, CEO of One World Enterprises, said. “You need it.”

Other residents advocated for repairing the garage to make it last another five years. They wanted the $18.5 million and additional interest estimated to be up to $11 million to be put into public transit.

Tax Increment Financing funds that come from property taxes in the area of redevelopment will be used to fund 75 percent of the garage. The remaining 25 percent will be funded by parking revenue. Some called it subsidized parking, which they argued is not something that should be subsidized.

Others said the construction will use taxes that businesses contribute to give back to the business community.

“It’s a right that businesses would expect TIF funds to be used to build a garage that would benefit downtown,” council member Dave Rollo said. “When I talk to businesses, they need predictability.”

Jessica Messmer, coowner of Cup & Kettle, was one of many downtown business owners who said its patrons who come from out of town or just outside downtown, as well as customers with mobility issues depend on the Fourth Street parking garage to access her business.

“It’s very stressful for people who are traveling from out of town and visiting Bloomington to find park-

ing,” Messmer said.

She and other business owners said they know of some people who give up looking for parking and leave.

“If we don’t invest in this parking garage, we’re going to kill our downtown economy,” council member Susan Sandberg said.

Council candidate Jean Capler said whether the council voted for rebuilding the garage or not, they need to focus on improving public transit immediately, especially for residents who can’t

afford to have a car. She said the current system is unreliable.

“We can’t keep kicking this down the road,” Capler said. “We need better public transit.”

Council candidate Kate Rosenbarger said she has talked to many low- to midincome people over the past few months, and parking was not a main concern of theirs. Public transit was.

She then went on to quote all the council members from their December meeting in which none of

them supported the rebuild of the Fourth Street garage.

Council candidate Daniel Bingham, who has been against the rebuild since the discussions started last year, said incentivizing parking will make it easy to keep using cars, which he argued needs to end.

“We’ve got 10 years to completely restructure society or we face catastrophic consequences,” Bingham said, citing the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s 2018 report.

Council member Ste-

phen Volan, who voted no, argued that IU has much higher priced parking, and Bloomington’s parking needs to reflect similar prices.

“We’re not talking about any parking, we’re talking about publicly subsidized parking that is cheap and convenient,” Volan said.

“That’s not how parking works. It’s either cheap or convenient.”

Council member Andy Ruff also said no, making his decision at the last minute after saying he saw the value

in the comments made by people concerned about the effects of continued car usage.

“You cannot dismiss these comments if you are intellectually honest,” council member Andy Ruff said.

Council member Isabel Piedmont-Smith was the other who said no.

“It’s irresponsible to use $30 million of city money in the year 2019 to build a massive concrete parking garage that is 75 percent subsidized by the city of Bloomington,” Piedmont-Smith said.

EDITORIAL BOARD

This year’s Little 500 brings attention to an old issue It’s the time of year Hoosiers get wildly excited for: Little 500. People come from all over to cheer and watch bikes zoom by in Bill Armstrong Stadium.

Besides the increase of people on campus, there is also an increase in crimes and arrests made — most importantly, sexual assaults.

The rampant sexual misconduct that occurs during Little 500 is inexcusable, and we need to do more to prevent and be knowledgeable of it.

While drinking is typically the big-ticket citation during Little 500 weekend — 102 drinking tickets were issued last year — sexual assault causes much more harm to the victims.

Last year, one woman was sexually assaulted at Kilroy’s Sports. In 2017, a rape was reported at 16th and Dunn Street. There were three reported rapes in 2016 while banners donning the words “Got Consent?” waved around campus, having little effect.

IU defines sexual violence as “physical sexual acts perpetrated against a person’s will or when a person is incapable of giving consent due to use of drugs or alcohol or due to an intellectual disability or other disability.” This

ALEX DERYN | IDS

includes sexual coercion, battery, assault and rape.

Sexual assault, unfortunately, is something that occurs at all times in our campus and throughout Bloomington. There’s just a different air toward it during this time of year.

Typically, crime at IU is briefly mentioned then dis-

missed. During Little 500, however, extra reinforcement, such as the Indiana State Excise Police, is eagerly brought in to address issues that are prevalent year round.

This extra reinforcement might not be needed if we were more conscious of those around us and more

aware of ways to combat crime, including sexual assault.

There are some options being proposed, if not already available, that can help combat sexual violence on campus, but they’re not the strongest of reinforcement.

Although it’s not required, IU strongly encour-

ages victims of sexual violence to file a report, whether it be to the university itself or to the police. And for those that are unsure of what to do, the Confidential Victim Advocates organization can help victims connect to the right resources and tackle concerns regarding grades.

Another organization that has made recent progress with new recommendations regarding sexual misconduct on campus is the Sexual Misconduct Student Working Group.

They’ve suggested making “It’s On Us” training mandatory, and having IU explicitly state the difference between intoxicated and incapacitated as well as what is considered non-consensual contraceptive tampering.

While these are good suggestions, that is all they are as of now: suggestions. Suggestions that aren’t in place and enforced can’t help the hypothetical victims that are to crop up during the upcoming weekend.

Little 500 is notorious for drinking and partying. Watch out for your friends and make sure they don’t go over their limits.

Don’t leave your friends alone if they are in an incapacitated state. Make sure they get to their final destination safely and are under the supervision of someone trustworthy.

Little 500 is a fun-filled weekend, but the weekend shouldn’t be remembered by the number of crimes reported or arrests made. So have fun, but be mindful of those around you.

Colleges need more diversity in coaching

P155 as a class needs to be addressed

Jaclyn Ferguson is a sophomore in journalism.

We are in the midst of tournament time for NCAA basketball. There is a rich history surrounding the tournament, including major triumphs and tribulations with black athletes and coaches.

Yesterday marked 35 years since John Thompson of Georgetown University became the first African-American coach to win a NCAA basketball tournament.

While this was a great accomplishment, there needs to be more discussion about increasing diversity in coaching positions, specifically within collegiate athletics.

It is concerning that the number of black head coaches compared to athletes is so drastically different. The prejudice surrounding who is equipped to be a head coach needs to change. According to the NCAA Demographics Database, in men’s college basketball, black people account for 45% of student athletes, but only 17% of head coaches as of 2018. These numbers have been relatively stagnant since 2008.

However, these striking statistics do not just reflect basketball. During the 2018 college football season, 13 of 130 teams were led by black coaches. At the DI level, black coaches only made up 10% of head coaches, but black athletes made up just under 50%.

As many issues regarding race in America, this problem is deeply rooted in history and

institutionalized racism.

Racial stacking is a term used to describe when minority groups are pushed away from high profile leadership positions and into lesser roles. This has been prevalent among college athletes and reflects diversity numbers in coaching positions.

This was not only seen in coaching positions, but also through pushing black athletes away from central positions, such as quarterback.

According to a 2013 study, 62% of black athletes who played quarterback in high school switched positions when they got to college.

Sociologist Harry Edwards argues that this issue goes back to the stereotypes that white people are more suit-

able to make decisions regarding greater thinking and decision making.

On the other hand, black athletes are typically viewed as having “reactionary positions” and “greater athleticism” so they play positions such as running back and wide receiver.

One would hope that a mindset that discriminatory would not still be in normalized today, but it can be clearly seen in college athletics.

Often times, black coaches are hired to be recruiting assistants because many believe they will be able to relate more with athletes and their families since there is an allegedly better social and cultural understanding if the coach is the same race as the player.

So, if black coaches are hired as recruiters due to their connection with black players, that should transcend to other coaching positions as well since a player’s relationship with a coach is essential in quality team cohesion.

Yes, coaches and players can get along regardless of race, but there is likely to be a more personal connection if the players and coaches have similar social and cultural backgrounds.

The stigma surrounding who is suitable to be a coach needs to change. Subtle biases should be pushed to the side to create more opportunities for minorities and diversity for all. jaraferg@iu.edu

SKILES FILES

We need to limit our current technology use Michael Skiles is a sophomore in cinema and media arts.

Technology has been advancing at rapid pace for quite some time now. TVs, cars, homes and even refrigerators have become smarter.

Many of these technological improvements have sprouted from the creation of the smartphone, a device that has become a necessity in life.

While following technology at such a hastened pace, I feel that many of us neglect to look into how these technological advancements affect our individual lives.

In particular, many of us have seamlessly accepted smartphones as our most important companions for life.

They tell us where to go, what the weather is like and keep track of our schedules.

These are all great benefits, but these phones seem to fail at their original goal: to connect people. Ever since the creation of the telephone, few

distances have been too wide to bridge communications between friends and family.

However, as time went on, smartphones began to take over. These phones are designed to keep people connected, but in many cases, have driven them further apart. While in public, people will frequently look to their phones for entertainment before even considering having a discussion with another human being. I certainly fall prey to this. I frequently use my smartphone as a crutch for my boredom. I’ll pull out my phone and scroll through Instagram anytime I don’t feel entertained.

Being on these social media outlets gives us the illusion that we’re being social. When we see other profiles and their likes and comments, we feel as though we’re gaining social fulfillment.

It’s hard to imagine a time where our parents or grandparents would actually rely on meeting strangers and carry-

ing on conversations to entertain themselves during a day out. I still see this way of life in my Dad, who would much rather hold a wholesome conversation with a complete stranger than tap away at his phone screen.

I decided to try this way of life for a few hours one time when visiting Chicago.

When on my own, I found myself instinctively reaching for my smartphone, but I refrained.

Next thing I knew, I found myself chatting with a Chicago local and was quickly enlightened about all the best places around “Wrigleyville” to grab something to eat.

The man told me more than what a thousand Yelp reviews ever could. We went to one of these restaurants, and I realized that we would’ve never even thought of going if I hadn’t put down my phone and lived in the moment.

Weaning yourself from your phone doesn’t just improve your social life, but it

can improve your personal life as well. We just have to take our headphones out every once in a while.

During my pledgeship, my fraternity leaders encouraged us to refrain from using headphones when walking in between locations on campus. They recommended we do this because it would allow us to reflect on ourselves and our lives.

They certainly weren’t wrong. During just one week without using my headphones, I did more deep thinking than I would’ve done in about a month.

All I had to do was refrain and appreciate the world around me. I implore you to try this out. Tell yourself that you’re not going to use your phone for a certain number of hours one day.

While there’s an argument to be had there, the article neglects the bigger issue — that Public Oral Communication is, simply put, a bad class.

Most of the student complaint about Public Oral Communication seem to come from the massive amounts of terminology that must be learned for the class.

This isn’t an issue of theory versus practicality — these terms are unnecessary and are added for no good reason. Take for example the final unit of the course. The content mostly focuses on symbols, connotations and ideologies, and could be explained very simply in those terms. However, Arthos invents the words “ideonode” and “ideoplex,” explains them in vague, pretentious language (an “ideoplex” is described as “A temporary association of heterogenous elements drawn together by desire or inclination” — if anyone can explain what that means, I’d love to know), and proceeds to run wild with his ill-defined terms and systems. This makes the material needlessly confusing and difficult for students, and removes speech theory from its real-world application.

Rhetoric, explained in plain English, would likely be very useful — it is the unneces-

sary terminology that makes Public Oral Communication frustrating and inapplicable.

As was touched on in the article, Public Oral Communication contains a slew of assignments. There are endless mini-units to complete, lectures that drag on far longer than they should and a number of preliminary drafts for each speech. Again, this massive assignment load results from Arthos’ unnecessary terminology and systems. The mini-units, for example, involve strange, unrelated quizzes that serve only to impress the meanings of these terms; those quizzes wouldn’t be necessary if students didn’t have to learn how to distinguish between an “ideoplex” and an “ideonode.” This goes for the rest of the course — the assignment load could be reasonable and content-driven, if not for the insertion of so much unnecessary material.

Public Oral Communication is such a widely-loathed class not because it is theoretical, but because its content is needlessly confusing.

Speech classes of all varieties, including rhetoricallyfocused ones, are incredibly valuable to students, and are a necessity in today’s workforce. However, in filling the Public Oral Communication curriculum with unnecessary material, IU is squandering an opportunity to create a genuinely useful speech theory class — depriving students of an integral part of their education.

Rick Van Kooten will be the new executive dean for the College of Arts and Sciences starting July 1. Van Kooten is the current vice provost for research at IU.

Rick Van Kooten named new IU COAS dean

The new executive dean for the College of Arts and Sciences has been chosen after the months-long search that began in the fall.

Rick Van Kooten, current

Âť BURMA

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 he’ll stay up until 3 or 4 a.m. mixing and mastering music.

These side jobs can take Allen three or four months, much longer than a typical music mastering. Allen works at his own pace. The restaurant and family come first. * * * When Allen’s wife Marla is not taking their kids to or from school or ballet or gymnastics or piano, she is also in the restaurant. Her purse and jacket are often strewn over the back booth while she answers phone calls, serves customers, cleans tables and jokes around with one or two waitresses.

She routinely withstands angry customers when she serves tea leaf salad, a popular traditional dish. The sweet

vice provost for research at IU, is expected to start in the new role July 1.

Van Kooten will replace executive dean Larry Singell. Singell is moving to the University of Texas at Austin, according to an IU

press release.

Van Kooten has been a member of Bloomington faculty since 1993. He served as department chair of physics from 2007 to 2012.

Most of his research focused on particle physics,

and Van Kooten has spearheaded two international particle physics partnerships.

Under Van Kooten’s care as vice provost for research, food science and machine learning programs have

improved, according to the release. The humanities have also had an increase in funding, with grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and other national organizations. “I am looking forward

to working with everyone in the College to advance the important and critical work being accomplished in scholarship, academics, research and creative activities,� Van Kooten said in the release.

and crunchy mound contains pickled green tea leaves, cabbage, cherry tomatoes, sesame seeds and nuts, topped with fried garlic and fresh lime and served with a yellow teapot and an egg-shaped cup.

The Americanized version trades cabbage for a green more commonly associated with salad in the United States: romaine lettuce.

Some customers, especially those from California, where there are more Americanized Burmese offerings, are outraged when Marla serves it with cabbage. “That’s not a salad,� they say.

Marla rolls her eyes. “That’s a salad,� she says, shaking her head vigorously. “In my country, that’s a salad.�

Marla orders curry spices that can take a month to arrive from Burma. The sour taste of her imported Burmese choc-

olate made with plum sugar does not resemble Hershey’s.

A gold-framed portrait of Myanmar’s civilian leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, hangs near the back of Burma Garden. Suu Kyi transformed the country from dictatorship to democracy but is now condemned by the international community for inaction against military violence.

Allen, a Buddhist, admires Suu Kyi. He sees her as a leader who fought relentlessly for democracy and the interest of her people.

Suu Kyi sacrificed parts of her life and her family to do what was best for her country, Allen recalled. He gazes at her portrait with profound respect.

according to the Indianapolis-based Burmese American Community Institute. Allen knows of just two or three Burmese families in Bloomington.  Allen is glad his kids are growing up here. He likes the educational opportunities and the community’s safety.

Brendan, a junior in high school, has only been to Burma once and was too young to remember anything from the trip. All he knows of Burma came from a middle school lesson about an activist. Mindy, a sixth-grader, visited with her mom a few years ago. The sweltering temperatures were her strongest takeaway.

They don’t always favor Burmese cooking. “They’re, like, mac-andcheese kind of people,� Allen said.

They aren’t interested in coming to the restaurant, and

Allen doesn’t feel he can force them.

Sitting at his desk in the restaurant’s back office, scrolling through a Facebook page dinging with “good morning� messages from Burmese friends waking up across the world, he reflected on the title of the framed article out front.

He wouldn’t call his life the American Dream.

Allen may not live the dream he envisioned as a teenager, he might never play guitar for thousands of screaming fans, but he has the freedom to find a different path. He decides which sacrifices to make.

Allen and Marla opened Burma Garden so they could earn a more sustainable living for their family. The restaurant closes from 2:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. so they can spend time together. It may not be glamorous, but for Allen, it’s worth it.

On a rare afternoon in the restaurant, Mindy and Brendan sat in opposite booths hyper-focused on papers in front of them, pencils in hand.

Brendan draws every day.

He doesn’t talk much, perfecting each stroke and evaluating every proportion. He wants to include art in his career, but Allen prefers he pursue a more reliable profession.

Maybe architecture.

Allen emerged from his usual position in the kitchen.

He handed Mindy a fish cake with rice and a little soup. “You sure you don’t want anything?� he asked Brendan. “Yeah,� Brendan nodded and continued brushing his mechanical pencil across the page.

About three seconds later, Allen reappeared holding a black bowl with red lining.

Tater tots.

Brendan smiled.

one of their acoustic shows while at Auburn. After watching the performance, he expressed interest in being a part of the group.

“I was kind of just going to check them out because I knew the guys and they were so good,” Canada said. “And then I just offered if they ever needed a drummer and someone to sing a third harmony to hit me up.”

In spring of 2016, the band began to play more regularly, and by May 2016, the band members decided to fully commit to their group.

At that time, Settine and Bolton were already living in Birmingham, Alabama, and attempting to pursue a music career full time. Canada, however, was about to move to Nashville, Tennessee, for an accounting job when he decided to instead join his friends in Birmingham.

“I ended up talking to them and was like, ‘Hey, I would love to do this full time,’” Canada said. “If you guys are all in, I am also all in.”

About four months later

in September, the group released its first song “Masks.”

Lankford, the newest member of the band, joined about a year after the song’s release.

The group moved from Birmingham to Nashville, Tennessee, to have easier access to components of the music industry in 2018. Starting in Birmingham, however, allowed the band to develop their own sound and get their feet in the ground before they moved, Canada said.

“I think if we had moved too early it would have been bad for us because we would have kind of just blended in with a lot of different Nashville bands,” Canada said.

A part of this distinct sound is the group’s focus on vocals. Because all of the members can sing and have backgrounds in choir, their strong vocal arrangements are what make them stand apart from other four-piece groups, Canada said.

“When people come to shows, that’s the big takeaway is like the harmonies, the vocals,” Canada said.

One of the songs where the vocals really stand out is “Are You Lonesome?” the

song that typically ends their set, Canada said.

Other songs that have been featured in its recent performances is “Off the Lawn,” a song from its album that will be released later this

year, and its most recent song “Halfway Up,” that was released Jan. 25, 2019.

For their performance, the group hopes the audience enjoys its music, including the great guitar solos

from Bolton and the band member’s vocal arrangements, Canada said.

“We really just hope that people leave and then can’t wait to come back and see us the next time,” Canada said.

The Bloomington-based R&B group Huckleberry Funk will also be featured in Wednesday’s performance.

Tickets for this show are available online at the Bluebird Nightclub for $5.

MEN’S SOCCER

Warr scores hat trick in win over Lipscomb

CLAIRE LIVINGSTON | IDS

Sophomore Thomas Warr goes after the ball April 7 at Bill Armstrong Stadium. IU beat Lipscomb University, 3-0.

By Phillip Steinmetz

psteinme@iu.edu | @PhillipHoosier

If a pair of cleats hasn’t been working out for sophomore forward Thomas Warr, he changes them out.

Warr has found a new top pair of cleats.

In the lone spring season home match for the IU men's soccer team, Warr scored a hat trick to secure a 3-0 win over Lipscomb University.

After scoring the three goals, Warr said the pair of cleats that he wore probably will move ahead of the other three that he has currently in

the rotation for game days.

The Hoosiers are now 6-0 in the spring season, outscoring opponents 15-1.

Warr was the first Hoosier other than sophomore forward Ian Black to score in the past three games.

“I’ve been working really hard in practice and feel confident in training, but it’s a whole another thing to just see it happen,” Warr said. “To score even one I was ecstatic, but I haven’t scored three like that in a while.”

On the first goal, junior defender Jordan Kleyn played an over-through ball

to Warr, who put it past the Lipscomb goalkeeper near the right side of the post.

Warr finished a corner kick from freshman midfielder Joe Schmidt for his third goal, using his head to flick it into the back of the net.

“Thomas has had a nice spring, it’s good to see him get rewarded,” IU Coach Todd Yeagley said. “He’s played well. I think today he was fantastic outside of his goals. I would’ve said Thomas would’ve had a good day if he didn’t have one.”

Throughout the match, IU

had many good chances to score.

Warr was the only one to beat the Lipscomb goalie, but other players like senior Simon Waever, and freshmen Ryan Wittenbrink and Ben Yeagley all made plays with the ball.

Lipscomb was unable to get many scoring chances against the IU back line. The freshman goalkeeper duo of Bryant Pratt and Jacob Gruber combined for to shutout Lipscomb.

“We showed times where we were a little bit anxious and played a little too quick,”

Todd Yeagley said. “Other times I thought we were composed and were able to play out of situations where we had numbers.”

Heading into the 2019 season, IU will have to replace 10 out of 11 starters.

It’s been a long spring season, but as a team that made the third round of the NCAA Tournament last season, Lipscomb provided IU another opportunity to learn more about itself.

“Good performance against a good team,” Yeagley said. “I thought our guys, really on both sides of

the ball, we showed some good attacking moments from the backline through.

I thought chances created were dangerous.”

In the next spring season game pn April 13, IU will travel to Westfield, Indiana, for a rematch of the NCAA quarterfinal matchup against University of Notre Dame. IU will then wrap up the spring season by traveling to Louisville, Kentucky on April 19, to face the University of Louisville, which was the fourth overall seed in the NCAA Tournament last season.

Jeff Mercer honored by Bob Knight's return to IU

By Cameron Drummond cpdrummo@iu.edu | @cdummond97

Jeff Mercer knew before most people what the significance of Saturday afternoon would be.

He understood why there would be a more visible security presence at Bart Kaufman Field and why it was of the utmost importance for those working in the James Roudebush Press Box to have a credential around their neck at all times.

He knew legendary former IU basketball coach Bob Knight was coming back to the IU campus, publicly, for the first time since he was fired in September 2000.

Despite being sworn to secrecy when he was told last week of Knight’s planned arrival, it was an impossible promise for Mercer to keep.

“I called my dad, and I called my family,” Mercer said. “They told me I couldn’t tell anybody, but I did. I told the one person. I had to tell my dad.”

Mercer's father briefly operated in the same rarefied coaching air as Knight, serving

as an assistant baseball coach for IU from 1988 to 1989, right in the midst of Knight’s 29year coaching tenure.

An adolescent Mercer grew up just 40 miles from Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bargersville, Indiana. As a kid he watched Knight’s teams play, and often win, but what remains with him most is the words of his grandparents and father.

In his grandparents’ house there were two things on the wall: a crucifix and an autographed picture of Bob Knight.

“To have him come back to a baseball game, it honestly brought tears to my eyes,” Mercer said. “The raw emotion is overwhelming. The standard that he set here, it’s beyond me.

Parallels in success between Knight’s teams, which won three national titles and reached five Final Fours, and Mercer’s team during his first season as IU head coach, are not readily apparent.

But Mercer wants to use the pillars of Knight’s teams — toughness and competitiveness — when constructing his program.

CLASSES

PHOTO COURTESY OF CRAIG BISACRE

IU baseball Coach Jeff Mercer is from Bargersville, Indiana. Mercer coached Wright State University before coming to IU.

“Never quit, never die," Mercer said. "That’s what we’re becoming about, and that’s what they were about.

It’s the person you are that matters, and that’s what he preached and that’s what he taught and that’s what his program was. That’s what we’re going to be about too.”

IU CREDITS

For as much as those conversations with his family about IU basketball and about Knight linger in Mercer’s mind, so do tangible reminders about the relationship connecting IU, Knight and the Mercer family.

Mercer is only 33 years old.

He followed his college play-

ing career by going straight into coaching, stopping at the likes of Ohio Northern University, Western Kentucky University and his alma mater Wright State University before finding his way to Bloomington.

All Mercer said he ever wanted to do was coach at IU.

That’s now reality for him, but Saturday afternoon was his latest surreal experience as part of the endeavor.

“To be the head coach at Indiana and have Coach Knight come back for the first time is more than anything in my wildest dreams I could have imagined,” Mercer said.

RedSteppers to hold spring auditions

By Claire Peters clapete@iu.edu | @claire_peterss

The RedStepper Dance Team is looking to add its newest class of performers at its spring 2019 auditions at 10 a.m. April 28 in Ray E. Cramer Marching Hundred Hall.

But, this year’s audition is going to be a little different.

The group welcomed a new coach in late March, former Colts cheerleader Brookelyn Wood. She said she is set on making some changes within the group, such as altering routines and increasing community outreach.

“I’m hoping to change the style of the dance team,” Wood said. “I’m aiming to make it more modern.”

Although the group has been at IU for almost 50 years, the traditional dance styles it's maintained have left dancers feeling restless, said Madison Kump, a sophomore audition-

ing for her second year on the team. Kump said the upcoming changes have stirred excitement within the women in the group because some have felt the past few seasons have been monotonous.

“There have been no changes in my time on the team since I was a freshman to my junior year,” said Julia Solazzo, a junior auditioning for her fourth year on the team. “Everything is recycled, we did every single dance the same.”

Kump said the team did not resist the changes Wood proposed.

“To hear that we’re going to incorporate different types of dancing, the whole team got on board because it’s fun and exciting to learn new dances and always be on our toes,” Kump said. “It was the same thing every year, very routine, and it kind of got a little boring and old.”

Wood said she also wants to add more of a presence on campus for the group by extending its season and getting more involved on social media.

Initially, the RedSteppers’ season was active in the fall semester with performances at football games, but Wood said she wants to extend their season into the spring with additional community engagement and more sporting event performances.

Wood said the team is expecting a higher turnout rate for the spring auditions as a result of changing from two yearly auditions to one.

The audition consists of a clinic in the morning where dance routines are taught and an actual audition in the afternoon after a lunch break.

Although the audition’s structure will be the same as years past, Wood said every previous member has to re-

audition, so no spot on the team is ensured.

This makes the stakes higher for the women auditioning, and Solazzo said some of the returning members are apprehensive.

“I am nervous," Solazzo said. "In years past, if you still kept up your ability and still were able to dance, you kind of knew you were going to be on the team. Brookelyn made it clear that it’s not that way anymore, no one’s spot is guaranteed.”

Although the upcoming audition may be more competitive, Wood said there are plenty of steps one can take to prepare to do her best at the audition.

“Girls should drink lots of water, stretch to work on flexibility because that’s extremely important, and eat healthily to prepare” Wood said. “We want girls who can be excited, spunky and eloquent when

asked about their experience as a RedStepper.”

Both Kump and Solazzo said they suggest dancing and stretching every day, as the kick line is an integral part of the RedStepper’s routine.

Kump also said she suggests checking out the team's social media and finding YouTube videos of routines to become familiar with its work.

More information about the schedule and what is specifically required for the audition can be found online.

“I can’t imagine college without it,” Kump said. “If anyone is thinking of auditioning, go for it, because it has been the best experience ever.”

ASTROLOGY COLUMN

Get ready for Jupiter retrograde. We promise it's not as bad as Mercury.

Kathryn de la Rosa is a senior in theater and journalism.

Jupiter retrogrades from April 10 through August 11, but don’t worry — it’s not as catastrophic as Mercury retrograde.

All planets retrograde.

Everyone knows about and dreads Mercury retrograde.

In the fall we went through a two-month Venus retrograde.

Since it’s further from earth, Jupiter retrograde doesn’t affect us as dramatically as these planets. Jupiter retrogrades for about onethird of the calendar year, so it’s a comfortable state of astrological affairs.

Jupiter is an expansive planet. It rules abundance, which you can take as gluttony from its Greco-Roman namesake Zeus, the notoriously lustful king of the gods. That abundance can take the shape of material wealth or ideological maturity.

Jupiter retrograde doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll all suffer misfortune or stop growing until August.

Instead, it’s a period to turn Jupiter’s outward-reaching energy inward and reflect on our growth. The week ahead is full of transits that can ease you into a summer of Jupiter retrograde.

KATHRYN DE LA ROSA | IDS

Jupiter, the left symbol, retrogrades, or appears to orbit backward, for four months at a time every 13 months. Jupiter will retrograde in Sagittarius from April 10 to Aug. 11.

Transits for April 7-14 Mercury sextile Saturn, April 7: Mercury went direct at the end of March but stays in dreamy, introspective Pisces until April 17. It’s a difficult sign for Mercury to be in as the planet of communication. If you feel like you still haven’t recovered from

Mercury retrograde, Mercury kicks off this week in a favorable aspect to Saturn, which can clear up some of that gross Pisces energy.

Saturn is a downer. It rules discipline and responsibility. Saturn brings some much-needed structure to Mercury’s two-month bend-

er. Take these next few days to catch up on emails and pay people back on Venmo.

Venus conjunct Neptune, April 9: Neptune rules Pisces, so we’re in no way done with the charms of my impractical sun sign. Neptune presides over our intuition and spiritual lives. It encourages

imagination, which makes it a favorite planet of creative people. But when Neptune sits on top of Venus, planet of love, that penchant for delusion can be dangerous.

You might catch yourself daydreaming a step too far.

Neptune can bring a kind of psychic overconfidence.

If your brain jumps straight to wedding plans after one positive social interaction with someone cute, take a step back and consider it could be Neptunian romance warping your perception.

Sun square Saturn, April 10: This can be a useful and terrifying transit. Take the dour, disciplinarian energy of Saturn, put it in a hard aspect to the Sun, and you get an existential crisis. Saturn wants you to take a long hard look at your life and fix it. This transit is a good time to evaluate what you’re doing or not doing to grow yourself. Write a lot of lists — to-do lists, bucket lists or, in witchy terms, lists of things to manifest.

Sun square Pluto, April 13: Pluto is a planet given to obsession. It’s very intense and tends to get carried away by the strongest emotion possible, regardless of logic or propriety. With Pluto in hard aspect to the Sun, this transit has the potential to lead down dark paths.

Whether you get into an explosive fight or throw yourself a pity party alone in your house, the end of the week is a sensitive, agitated time.

I'm not surprised to see this transit hanging over Little 500 weekend.

‘Matangi/Maya/M.I.A.’ to be screened at the IU Cinema

By Abby Malala abbridge@iu.edu | @abbymalala

Music documentary “Matangi/Maya/M.I.A.” will be playing at 7 p.m. April 8 at the IU Cinema.

The documentary tells the story of how rapper, singer and songwriter M.I.A. went from being a displaced

immigrant as a child to internationally-known musician as an adult.

The award-winning film was released in 2018 and is directed by Steve Loveridge.

It won the World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2018.

The film is apart of a se-

ries by the IU Asian Culture Center and the Asian American Studies Program called "Movement, Asian/Pacific America."

Matangi Arulpragasam, known now as M.I.A., was born to Sri Lankan parents in London in 1975.

Her family moved back to Sri Lanka when she was

six months old. The Sri Lankan Civil War began in 1983, and according to the documentary’s website, Arulpragasam’s father founded the Tamil armed resistance in Sri Lanka during the war.

The family returned to the United Kingdom where Arulpragasam began to go

by Maya and then went on to become M.I.A. The artist’s music deals with immigration and immigrants, with lyrics like “If you catch me at the border / I got visas in my name,” from her 2007 song “Paper Planes.”

“Matangi/Maya/M.I.A.” is one hour and 36 minutes

and features footage from over 22 years of home video the musician took herself.

The documentary offers an up-close and intimate look into the rapper’s life, according to the film’s website.

The event is free and open to the public but ticketed.

TRAVEL COLUMN

Thanks, France, for ending a love affair with my water bottle Anna Groover is a junior studying English, geography and religious studies.

I like my bright yellow Hydroflask water bottle.

Specifically I like what it says about me, that I care about the environment. I hate spending money on bottled water. I’m savvy enough to know about the ecological dangers of plastic, so I made the choice to carry a metal bottle instead.

In other words, my water bottle isn’t just a water bottle. It’s part of my identity.

Since I have environmental sympathies, those concerns are marked by daily dress and how I present myself to the world.

Before arriving in Aixen-Provence, France, to study here for the semester, I was excited to participate in a culture more environmentally conscious than the United States. When I began attending classes and saw my classmates drinking from plastic bottles instead of the stickered reusable bottles common at IU, I was shocked.

For the past few months, I’ve been baffled by the absence of reusable bottles in France. Don’t people here care about plastic pollution or climate change? If so, why are plastic bottles ubiquitous?

Then my family visited me, and we rented a car to do some sightseeing. After that, my confusion began clearing up. Why? A tank of gas for our modest-sized hatchback cost $45. That wasn’t

all, though. We paid about $67 to drive from Paris to Aix-en-Provence, roughly an eight-hour trip, on the country’s privatized toll roads. In short, driving wasn’t cheap.

In France, high gas taxes motivate people to use nonvehicular, more energy-efficient modes of transportation, such as buses or trains.

The reason for this policy is the need to reduce fossil fuel dependency.

France is facing repercus-

sions for this, most recently with the rise of the “Yellow Vests,” a grassroots movement protesting, among other things, how the tax disproportionately affects rural and lower-income citizens who need to drive to work every day. According to Vox, the average price of a gallon of gas in France is about $7.06, which is incomprehensible to my American sensibilities.

The economic justice aspect of this policy aside,

HARRY BLISS

I think it’s fair to say the French government is making an effort to combat climate change.

Compared with this, my hang-up on water bottles seems like small potatoes.

The smallest of small potatoes. And I’m a little scared to consider whether the rest of my environmentalism, such as my decision to buy as few new clothes as possible or my vegetarianism, also carries minuscule im-

pacts.

David Wallace-Wells, author of the recently published book “The Uninhabitable Earth: Life after Warming,” discussed this politics of conscious consumption in an interview for “Still Processing,” a podcast produced

by New York Times culture writers Jenna Wortham and Wesley Morris.

During the interview, he points out that the positive environmental impact of our

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is an 8 — Communication benefits your shared finances. Stick to basics. Coordinate your efforts for a common goal. Avoid wasting money. A rush job could interrupt scheduled programming.

Answer to previous puzzle

obsession with things like recycling plastics is nearly inconsequential.

“It’s so small that it often feels like it’s just a way to distract ourselves from the real problem, you know, making us feel active when we’re actually not all that active,” Wallace-Wells said.

For Wallace-Wells, political action and policy change are the solution, not small changes in consumption.

He’s right. But there are a lot of forces at work in the American cultural consciousness telling me my tiny decisions do matter. Our belief in the power of individual action. Our rampant consumerism. The way personal identity is conflated with the purchases we make.

The list goes on.

Still, though, I’m not comfortable with throwing out an environmentalism that dismisses the power of individual consumption decisions in favor of larger collective action. After all, overflowing landfills are an issue.

In the past month, two dead whales washed up on shores in Italy and the Philippines with 48 and 88 pounds of plastic in their stomachs, respectively, according to the New York Times.

Environmental decisionmaking is complicated, hard and messy. If the Yellow Vest movement proves anything, it’s that striving for an emissions-free society is not without its growing pains and setbacks.

So I’ll keep sipping from my Hydroflask. At the very least, it keeps my water cold.

SOFTBALL

Heartbreak for IU during sweep at Michigan

By Jared Kelly jaakelly@iu.edu | @Jared_Kelly7

It’s been a season full of extreme highs and lows for IU softball. From earning a top-25 ranking in multiple weeks to going on a fourgame losing skid, IU has experienced it all.

A trip to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for a three-game set against No. 23 Michigan had all the makings to be either disastrous or the biggest series win of the season.

IU Head Coach Shonda Stanton shook up the lineup and pitching assignments throughout the weekend, beginning with game one when junior Emily Goodin was given the starting nod for the first time all season.

In the first inning, Goodin worked around a bases loaded jam. Michigan, having won its previous 12 games entering this weekend, conceded the first run of the series to IU sophomore Grayson Radcliffe, but it was the only run IU would score that game.

Just an inning later, Michigan’s Lexie Blair hit a two-run home run off Goodin to take the lead.

Things would unravel further in the fourth inning as an IU fielding error and a pair of hits plated two more Michigan runners and signaled the end of Goodin’s day.

The Wolverines went on

The IU softball team awaits Grayson Radcliffe on March 17 after she hits a grand slam against Saint Francis University. IU lost against Michigan on April 7, 7-6.

to take game one 4-1 over the Hoosiers.

IU sent out senior Tara Trainer for game two looking to even up the series.

Though Trainer pitched a solid six innings, giving up just three runs, IU’s offense did little to help Trainer out.

Sophomore Maddie Westmoreland accounted for all of IU’s hits and runs, smacking her fourth and fifth home runs of the season,

both solo shots.

“Once I string some hits together, it allows me to have a better approach at the plate and be more aggressive, and that’s what I’ve done these past few weeks,” Westmoreland said.

Michigan’s combination of Alex Storako and Meghan Beaubien stifled the rest of IU’s batting order, striking out 13 batters and closing out a 3-2 victory over IU.

The Hoosiers entered Sunday looking to salvage game three and avoid being swept for the second time in conference play.

Led by Grayson Radcliffe’s three hits and three runs batted in, IU’s offense swung the bats better than it had all weekend. Even after trailing at two different points throughout the game, IU’s 10 hits were enough to mount comebacks both

times, eventually taking a 6-4 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning.

Needing just two outs to walk away with a win, Goodin promptly served up a walk-off two-run double to Michigan’s Mackenzie Nemitz, putting the final touches on a disappointing weekend sweep for IU. “There’s nothing more fun than a walk-off winner, but there’s also nothing that

hurts more than being on the other end of it,” Stanton said. “We could’ve very easily hung our heads and not competed today, yet our kids competed hard and I’m extremely proud of them for that.”

IU drops to 28-13 on the season and 3-6 in conference play.

Next up is a Wednesday doubleheader at home against Purdue.

WOMEN’S GOLF

IU heads south to tee off Clemson Invitational event

By Luke Lusson llusson@iu.edu | @LukeLusson

After three weeks off from competition, the IU women’s golf team travels to Sunset, South Carolina, this weekend to take part in the Clemson Invitational.

The 18-team event will

run from Sunday through Tuesday.

IU’s last competition was the Briar’s Creek Invitational during March in Charleston, South Carolina, where the team placed second among 17 teams.

Only nationally-ranked Michigan State beat IU,

and by a total of just eight strokes. This week, IU hopes to build off the recent strong finish.

“I think they are in a good place,” Head Coach Clint Wallman said. “I want them to continue doing what they’re doing.”

Competing this week

for IU is freshman Alexis Miestowski, graduate Kari Bellville, sophomores Mary Parsons and Priscilla Schmid and senior Erin Harper.

It is the same group that competed at the Briar’s Creek Invitational.

Wallman believes the

course for the event, the Reserve at Lake Keowee, will prove a fair test of golf for all competitors.

“It’s a real shot-makers golf course,” he said. “You have to have a strong game plan, and it rewards good ball strikers.”

The tournament begins

an important and busy stretch of competitive golf for IU that features a trip to Purdue next weekend and a trip to Ohio for the Big Ten Championship the following weekend.

“I think we’re motivated,” Wallman said. “We’re rested and ready to go.”
