Sarah Dye and her husband Doug Mackey speak to a customer Sept. 28 at their booth for Schooner Creek Farm at the Bloomington Community Farmers’ Market. Dye has been under scrutiny since it was made known that she is a member of the American Identity Movement, a white nationalist group according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

CONFLICT AT THE FARMERS’ MARKET

PROTESTS CONTINUE The Purple Shirt Brigade takes to the Farmers’ Market to protest Schooner Creek Farm, using fans and T-shirts to spread its message. By Lydia Gerike lgerike@iu.edu | @lydiagerike

A group of protesters wore purple and waved makeshift purple fans Saturday afternoon at the Bloomington Community Farmers’ Market to encourage shoppers to boycott Schooner Creek Farm. The Purple Shirt Brigade is a another group criticizing Schooner Creek and its presence at the market after owner Sarah Dye was connected earlier this summer to a white nationalist movement called the American Identity Movement, formerly Identity Evropa. “We don’t want the city to forget there are white supremacists in the farmers market,” said Forrest Gilmore, a protester and the Shalom Community Center executive director. This is the second week in a row that the Purple Shirt Brigade protested at the market. Around noon, Gilmore and his group pulled out different sized pieces of sturdy purple paper, some smaller than a notecard and others bigger than SEE PROTEST, PAGE 5

Members of the Purple Shirt Brigade boycott Schooner Creek Farm with different-sized pieces of purple paper on sticks Sept. 28 at the Bloomington Community Farmers’ Market. The group said the items were fans, but their resemblance to signs made them toe the line on whether they were allowed to be carried around the market.

Students moved off campus adjust Days after submitting their contracts for housing in Spruce Hall for the 2019-20 school year this past spring, three IU students received an email from Residential Programs and Services. The email told then-freshmen Jack Ashburn, Gabbie Thompson and Evan Gnott they would have to live in off-campus housing because there was no room for them on campus. “I had already picked out a room and signed up for that housing contract, and I had to restart my plans,” Ashburn said. After issues with mold in McNutt Quad and Foster Quad led to the university closing several residence halls, some upperclassmen who had signed housing contracts with the university were forced to move into off-campus apartment complexes. But instead of leasing directly with the complexes, their contracts are with the university. Ashburn, Thompson and Gnott are now roommates spending their school year at The Avenue On College, an apartment complex off campus. The three have had to adapt to living in a different environment. None of them feel particularly close to the rest of the community since it is much larger than Spruce, where they

Students, staff, faculty and alumni gathered Saturday at the IU Auditorium to celebrate the achievements of the last 200 years and look ahead at what the next century will bring for IU. The first speaker at the IU Bicentennial Ceremony was Indiana Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch. Crouch introduced the event, gave her congratulations to IU and introduced IU’s Jacobs School of Music philharmonic orchestra. Guest speaker Indiana Rep. Susan W. Brooks, R-5th District, said the IU bicentennial will be a part of the Congressional Record forever. The Congressional Record is the official record of all proceedings and debates held within each congressional session. “Hoosiers are everywhere, doing incredible things,” Congresswoman Brooks said. The next speaker was IU alumna and actress Tan Kheng Hua. Hua is most widely known for her role in the 2018 blockbuster film “Crazy Rich Asians”. Hua spoke about first becoming interested in acting while attending IU. She took an introductory acting class and said she was inspired by the film “Breaking Away.” However, she didn’t pursue acting until several

The Hoosiers have never knocked off an Associated Press Top 25 opponent under IU head coach Tom Allen, but they’ve certainly had their chances. IU football has fallen short in a number of major upset opportunities since 2017, including Saturday’s 40-31 loss at No. 25 Michigan State. “I’m proud of our team and how our kids fought,” Allen said. “It’s hard to face them in the locker room knowing how hard they played. I love that football team in that locker room, period.” After missing IU’s last two games with an undisclosed injury, redshirt freshman quarterback Michael Penix Jr. made his return to the field. It was a game-time decision for the Hoosiers at quarterback for the third consecutive game. “Our most important thing is the welfare of our players,” Allen said in regard to rushing Penix back from his injury. “I’m not going to put a guy out there that’s not ready to play.” Junior quarterback Peyton Ramsey played in his place the last two games and was available to play Saturday. There was the possibility that both quarterbacks’ efforts would be needed to beat the Spartans, but there was never a need for Penix to come out of the game. In his first true road contest in his collegiate career, the freshman shrugged off any doubt that his recent injury affected his arm strength or confidence. Penix threw for three touchdowns on 33-of-42 passing and had a long stretch where he completed 20 consecutive passes, a program record. Even a record-setting performance out of your starting quarterback isn’t enough sometimes. Before the Spartans tacked on a
