A woman who attended a party on the north side of Bloomington reported being raped twice Sunday morning. Bloomington Police were called to the scene at 3:45 a.m. They have not yet found the suspect, according to police reports. The 24-year-old victim arrived at the party between 11 and 11:30 p.m. Saturday, residents of the apartment told police. She was intoxicated and passed out on a couch. Two other people were also passed out in the apartment. A resident left the apartment unlocked around 1 a.m., according to police reports. The suspect entered the unlocked apartment. He started choking the victim while she was on the couch and said he would stop if she would have sex with him, according to police reports. The victim said she did not know her attacker. He held a knife to her throat and raped her in a bathroom, according to police reports. He then assaulted her again in a bedroom, according to police reports, and he took her to the back door of the apartment. She called the police from a different apartment. She was taken to the hospital for a sexual assault kit, according to police reports. The case is still under investigation, according to police. Cora Henry

The woman who was attacked by 19-year-old IU student Triceten Bickford sits at the same table outside Sofra Café where she was strangled Saturday. Bickford faced charges of strangulation, battery, minor possession of and consumption of alcohol, intimidation and public intoxication. Bickford was released from the Monroe County Jail Sunday after paying a total of $705.
UNDER ATTACK Bloomington resident reflects on assault, the people who came to her defense Annie Garau agarau@indiana.edu | @agarau6
Wrapped in a headscarf’s colorful and silky folds, she finds comfort in her modesty. For her, the wrap is a constant reminder that God is with her all the time. It makes her feel secure, she said, even when Triceten Bickford’s hands were wrapped around her neck. On Saturday evening, the Bloomington resident was drinking tea outside of Sofra Café. Her 9-year-old daughter sat on her left. Bickford had been drinking something much stronger. The 19-year-old IU student was drunkenly stumbling towards the Chocolate Moose when he caught sight of the woman’s light blue scarf. Abruptly, he changed directions. As he neared the café, walking on the other side of the street, he began to yell. “White power.” The woman, who is, in fact, Caucasian, is an immigrant from Turkey. She said she paid the man no mind until seconds later when his hands gripped her throat from behind and pushed her face into the cold wire table. Terrified but filled with adrenaline, she pulled the hands away from her windpipe, permitting the crisp October air to once again fill her lungs. Her husband was inside the café. In an effort to get his attention, she pushed all her weight against the man whose arms still fought to choke her. In an unexpected feat of strength, the 47-year-old woman reared back and stood so she could be seen through the

café’s window. Even before her husband could react, though, she felt Bickford being pulled off her back. “What are you, stupid?” she heard a new voice say. Turning, she saw another stranger, Daniel Boyes, lying on the sidewalk. The 21-year-old IU junior was restraining her thrashing attacker. Boyes had been walking down Walnut Street on the way to a friend’s dance performance. He had never been in a fight in his life, but when he saw Bickford approach the woman, he didn’t hesitate to act. “I never would have imagined doing that,” Boyes said. “It was surreal that I was doing that to somebody.” The woman’s husband rushed out of the door. He turned red with rage as he helped Boyes hold Bickford down. “I’m going to kill you all,” she remembers Bickford, who was later identified as a sophomore psychology major, shouting. Flailing on the sidewalk, he kicked the air and spat in her husband’s face. The other diners had exited the restaurant to survey the scene. As the woman rushed to call 911, one of these men put
IU student Triceten Bickford, 19, was arrested at 7:54 p.m. Saturday on accusations of a racially motivated attack on a Muslim woman, Capt. Joe Qualters of Bloomington Police said. Bickford faces charges of strangulation, battery, minor possession of and consumption of alcohol, Triceten intimidation, and Bickford public intoxication. He was released from the Monroe County Jail Oct. 18 after paying a total of $705. His initial hearing is set for Friday. He is a sophomore, according to IU spokesperson Mark Land. He attended IU-Purdue University Indianapolis before transferring to IU-Bloomington this fall. Land released a University statement in relation to the case. “Indiana University is aware of the horrifying incident involving one of our students and a member of the Bloomington Muslim community over the weekend,” it read. “This type of abhorrent behavior is not representative of our students, nor of the culture of inclusion and tolerance so many people at the university and in the Bloomington community have worked so hard to foster. The university is closely monitoring the Bloomington Police investigation into this matter, and IU Bloomington Provost Lauren Robel has instructed the Dean of Students’ office to conduct its own investigation into the incident.”

Global perspective of food evaluated in hunger banquet By Bridget Murray bridmurr@indiana.edu | @bridget_murray
Students’ next meals were left up to chance Monday evening in the Hoosier Den. At the Oxfam Hunger Banquet, a simulation of how socioeconomic status affects hunger from a global perspective, students were asked to take a ticket upon entering the room. The tickets, distributed at random, would denote the status of each student — high income, middle income or low income. “This event is a metaphor,”
emcee Benjamin Seiwert said. “You may think hunger is about too many people and too little food. That is not the case.” Participants placed in the highincome group were asked to sit at the table at the front of the room. The simulated middle-income group sat in chairs huddled together. Low-income group participants were seated around a black tablecloth placed on the floor. The different levels represent the different economic standings in society, junior Sarah Moore said. Moore is a residential assistant at Foster
Quadrangle and helped coordinate the program in the Hoosier Den. She said this is the fifth time Oxfam has had this banquet, which helps students really visualize and think about the issue of hunger around them. “It’s easy to think about the differences when you can see the different levels and kind of foods that are being served,” she said. “This is happening around us, we just don’t see it as easily.” The high-income group was given a full meal with pizza from Mother Bear’s and cookies. The
middle-income group was given a buffet of rice and beans. The low-income group was given only rice and water. Esther Yoon, food, family and hunger director of Oxfam Club, said the best way to start communicating these issues to a large student body like IU is by raising awareness first. “We’re so surrounded with food everywhere that we don’t understand that hunger is happening,” she said. “It’s about inequality.

App to connect roommates By Sophia Muston skmuston@indiana.edu @sophiamuston
Incoming freshman Madeline Daily said when she first logged into Schools App, IU’s social media network for admitted students, many of her fellow prospective students were talking about how much they were going to miss their pets the following year when college starts. “Then people started posting things about being accepted, and I began filling out my profile a little more,” Daily said. Daily is part of the first class of admitted students who will be able to use the newly-added Roommate Finder feature as part of IU’s social media network, Schools App. Associate Director of Strategic Communications and Marketing Brian Piret said his office has managed and administered Schools App since it was introduced to admitted students in 2012. The office is now running a pilot project of Roommate Finder. According to the Schools App website, this feature allows admitted students
who plan to live on-campus to list information about themselves and their preferences for roommates, to browse listings from other students and to send private messages. Jacqueline Fernette, director of strategic communications and marketing, said the decision to pilot Roommate Finder was made based on the fact that much of the public conversation on Schools App had been filled with posts from students seeking roommates. She said this made it harder for official moderators to find and answer questions about other topics posted by admitted students. “What we saw happening more and more was the feed was getting dominated by students trying to connect and find roommates,” Fernette said. “So as more and more of that conversation started filling the Schools App, we really wanted to move that conversation out of the stream so they were being able to ask a wide variety of questions, not just questions about finding roommates.” Fernette said the Office of Strategic
Communications and Marketing is joining forces with Residential Programs and Services to pilot Roommate Finder. Piret said RPS worked with another provider of similar social media based roommate-finding services in past years but cut ties with them. The team overseeing Schools App is headed by Piret. Fernette said they are using this admissions cycle to test Roommate Finder and make sure it’s being implemented in the most beneficial way for students. For instance, Fernette said research tells them students look for roommates most heavily during the months of April, May and June. In subsequent cycles they might push the timing of the Roommate Finder release to more closely match student preference. Research is also being done to determine how successful Roommate Finder will be in terms of aiding students in establishing successful roommate matches. Piret said the data has already shown initial success for many admitted students. “We’ll do some assessments and map it up against what the larger data evalu-
ations kind of tell us,” Piret said. ”Right now we’ve got 810 people who’ve joined the network. Fifty percent of them are using Roommate Finder. And 50 percent of those have already informed us that they’ve identified a roommate.” Fernette said Roommate Finder has worked well for other higher education institutions using Schools App. “Roommate Finder has been in existence for several years,” Fernette said. “They’ve had great success with other University partners. So we also looked at that before we decided to go ahead and add the feature.” Madeline Daily said she has already posted a listing on Roommate Finder in the hopes she might find someone with similar interests to herself who also wants to live at the INSPIRE LivingLearning Center at Spruce Hall. “(Roommate Finder) has made it easy to fill out a profile with things I like and my habits hoping to find a match,” Daily said. “I just posted today asking if anyone was looking into the INSPIRE (Living-Learning Center) and I already have a few prospects.”
IU and the Pacific Northwest Gigapop have launched the world’s first 100-gigabits-per-second circuit connecting Pacific Rim research and education networks with their counterparts in the United States, according to an IU press release. Called the TransPACPacific Wave, the new link connects network research hubs in Tokyo and Seattle. It will deliver data transfer speeds that are 10 times faster than current rates to researchers between Asia and the U.S., according to the release. The project is a joint collaboration between IU, the Pacific Northwest Gigapop and the National Science Foundation, according to the release. The Pacific Northwest Gigapop is the provider of the link. The TransPAC-Pacific Wave is a joint effort of two NSF-funded projects. One project is TransPAC4, which supports backbone circuits between the U.S. and Asia. Another project is Pacific Wave, a distributed open exchange created by the Pacific Northwest Gigapop and the Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California, or CENIC. The principal investigators on the Pacific Wave are Ron Johnson of the Pacific Northwest Gigapop, University of Washington iSchool and Louis Fox of CENIC. The principal investigator on the TransPAC4 project is the IU director of international networks, Jennifer Schopf. “From high-energy physics, astronomy and bioinformatics to climate science and geoscience, TransPAC4 enables better, faster research in a wealth of disciplines, and I’m excited by the possibilities this new 100-gigabit circuit and open exchange fabric will enable,” Schopf said in the release. “Researchers will now be able to share their largest databases at extremely fast speeds. The TransPAC-Pacific Wave circuit is a game changer for the world of big data research.” In March, IU and its International Networking
group announced it had received a new five-year $4.8 million NSF grant for TransPAC4. This is the fourth consecutive NSF grant to IU to lead trans-Pacific advanced research networks since 1998, according to the release. In terms of speed, the new circuit is loosely comparable. If a U.S. scientist needs to download several hours of ultra-high-definition 8K video from Tokyo, what had previously taken more than one hour, they can now be downloaded in less than 10 minutes. The TransPAC-Pacific Wave circuit is now operational between Pacific Wave’s node in Seattle and Pacific Wave’s access point in Tokyo. Direct connectivity to Japan’s Tokyo Research Exchange is scheduled to launch this fall, according to the release. “This link represents a new era for East Asia-U.S. cyberinfrastructure and for Asia-U.S. research and education networking,” said Kevin Thompson, a program director at NSF, in the release. “Indiana University and the Pacific Northwest Gigapop are appropriately leading this effort in the United States, and both institutions have a rich history in support and innovation in international research and education networking.” Greg Bell, division director at ESnet, said he is excited about the network’s potential and pleased with the collegiality surrounding its creation. “This milestone is great news,” Bell said in the release. “The world’s hardest problems can only be solved through global collaboration, and 10-gigabit links will soon be insufficient to support largescale science. Faster data almost always means faster discovery. More important than bandwidth, though, is a growing spirit of international cooperation in our community: Multiple stakeholders are working toward a common goal of open, fast and safe research networking for the world.” Alyson Malinger
Author’s work relates rumors of the past to present time By Sarah Gardner gardnese@indiana.edu @sarahhhgardner
Although Dr. Emily Rose’s field of study lies far in the past, she said she believes her work continues to have deep ties to the present. Rose, a medieval historian and author of “The Murder of William of Norwich,” spoke at IU Monday night about her book and her work. The talk was presented by the Helene G. Simon Hillel Center. “Unfortunately, antisemitism is alive and well,
especially on many college campuses,” said Rabbi Sue Silberberg, executive director of the Hillel Center. “We hope that this talk teaches people to think more carefully about what they hear.” The lecture, titled “A Lie That Went Viral,” focused on blood libel, the false belief that the Jewish people murdered Christian children for religious purposes, Rose said. “It sounds absurd, and we know it’s absurd,” Rose said. “But it’s a quintessential example of what happens when you tell a lie over and over.” The first mention of
blood libel can be traced back to the Middle Ages in the 12th century, Rose said, and has persisted in some form ever since the first rumor was spread. After hearing about it in the curriculum of many medieval studies classes she took as well as taught, Rose said she decided to learn how the lie of blood libel was spread everywhere and by whom. “The people who perpetuated this lie have always been average, everyday citizens, and that made it hard to find information,” Rose said. “It’s very hard to write about this stuff because it
just wasn’t that weird to people.” The belief in blood libel has traveled throughout Europe including Anglo-Norman England, Poland and Palestine, Rose said. “Without addressing the roots of an accusation, one can chop off an evil fruit here or there, but it will keep coming back,” Rose said. “It’s popping up in new places with new details.” Rose has spent her career focusing on medieval history. She studied at Oxford, Yale and Princeton universities and teaches at Johns Hopkins, Villanova, Rutgers
and Baruch universities currently. Rose’s book was published in June and she now continues to research new cases of blood libel accusation, she said. “When you do this kind of work, it’s very hard but very important,” Rose said. “This needs to be studied in both a Christian context and a Jewish context. Many key issues from both the Middle Ages and more recent history have roots in blood libel accusations.” The power of government, the growth of towns and cities and the financing of military units are all
important in situations of blood libel accusations, Rose said. Moreoever, these situations still have relevance today. Bringing in speakers and new knowledge is essential to the Hillel Center’s mission, Silberberg said. Silberberd said this is a large contribution to IU’s culture as a whole. “Hatred is not just a Jewish problem,” Silberberg said. “There are so many lies in this world that people do not stop to evaluate. It’s so important to pay attention to what you see, hear and read.”

Pence plans to spend $1 billion on roads
REGION
EDITORS: ANNIE GARAU &CORA HENRY | REGION@IDSNEWS.COM
Gov. Mike Pence recently announced he will invest $1 billion to maintain Indiana roads and bridges. He calls it the 21st Century Crossroads Plan. Indiana House Democratic Leader Scott Pelath calls it sheepish.
In press releases last week, state Democrats claimed bridges are falling apart and roads are built with faulty concrete. They say the $1 billion does not come close to the amount needed to fix the state’s infrastructure.
Forum backs wage increases By Anne Halliwell ahalliwe@indiana.edu | @Anne_Halliwell
Sen. Mark Stoops, DBloomington said Indiana has the eleventh-lowest level of pay income in the U.S. with a minimum wage only as high as the federal requirement of $7.25 per hour. Speaking to the people gathered at “Raise the Wage; a public forum on raising the wage for workers,” Stoops said many democrats are focusing on wage discrepancies in Senate legislation, although few proposed solutions have passed. The event, sponsored by South Central Indiana Jobs with Justice and Bloomington Moral Mondays, was held at 7 p.m. Monday in the Bloomington City Hall Council Chamber. “I’ve lost track of the number of times we’ve tried to get fair wage, equal wage bills passed,” Stoops said. In general, Stoops advocated for employees to be paid enough to afford a home and transportation costs, not merely what is required for food. “If we (the state) pick up the tab for everything else the employee needs to live on, that business is making a
profit and the public is subsidizing it,” Stoops said. Jessica Fraser, the program manager for the Indiana Institute of Working Families, said for most families, the cost of self-sufficiency is roughly twice a given location’s federal poverty guideline. The IIWF promotes policies and legislation that will help Indiana families maintain a level of economic selfsufficiency, meaning those people will be able to afford basic living costs at a full-time, minimum-wage job. Poverty rates dropped slightly in 2014, though about 975,000 families were still under the mark according to the IIWF’s count, Frasier said. “This number has been yo-yoing over the one-million mark for the last (several) years, so one year does not a trend make,” Fraser said. The IIWF calculated the minimum wage needed for a single adult to live in each county in Indiana, Fraser said, and the lowest possible wage they came up with was $7.95 per hour. Fraser said their calculations found the Indiana average needed for self-sufficiency was closer to $9.26 per hour. “Hoosiers are hard workers,” Fraser said. “We work
hard, and we make a profit, and we deserve a piece of that.” Joseph Varga, a professor in the IU department of Labor Studies, advocated an activist approach to making sure that Indiana businesses are treating their workers fairly. “(Wage inequality) is the problem of a lack of wages in the pockets of workers to consume the products that stimulate the economy,” Varga said. He linked a lower comparative minimum wage in 2015 to technology advances, the pressures of a globalized market, and lack of worker bargaining power in the workplace due to union decline. “(Raising the minimum wage) will affect probably some small businesses in the immediate sense, but in the long run, having more money in people’s pockets is a good thing,” Varga said. Stoops asked attendees to talk to their legislators about fair-wage legislation. Varga suggested in addition to politics, workers look to communities for support and to keep business owners accountable. “We need strong legislation,” Varga said. “But we also need support for workers on the ground in our communities.”
Man with stab wounds tells police he needs duct tape, police arrest him From IDS Reports
Police were called to assist a 38-year-old man who had been stabbed Sunday afternoon. They found him at Kirkwood Avenue and Washington Street, according to police records. He had two puncture wounds on his left side but did not seem to want police assistance, according to police
records. When asked how he got the injuries and who stabbed him, the man said he did not know, according to police records. He said it might have happened at People’s Park. He told police he needed duct tape and then he would be on his way. The police told him his injuries were serious, but he said he did not need help.
The police then discovered there was a warrant for the man’s arrest parole violations. The injury was serious enough that the victim needed surgery for internal injuries. He is in the hospital, and the surgeon said he will be there for four days and may need a week to recover. Cora Henry

The Exotic Feline Rescue Center at Center Point relies on unpaid volunteer service to augment the work of the paid keepers who work hands on with the cats. The rescue center is looking for more volunteers to do tours of the grounds.
Feline rescue center looks for volunteers By Maia Rabenold
When Charlie was a cub, his owner put a collar around his neck. It had grown into the skin by the time he was taken in by the Exotic Feline Rescue Center at Center Point as a full grown cougar. Charlie was blind from being fed cat food for the entirety of his life, and there was grass growing in his water bowl. “He couldn’t make sounds,” said Ann Hedderick, coordinator of the volunteer program at the EFRC. “The keepers put rocks in a ball, so they knew whenever he was hitting the ball around he was hungry. Otherwise he couldn’t tell us.” The EFRC provides a haven for Charlie and other abused exotic cats. Hedderick said the EFRC was founded in 1991 by Joe Taft with three cats to its name. Today, the EFRC is home to more than 200 cats. They hail from 24 different states, and they all were bred into the United States pet or trophy trade. In order to take care of the cats, the EFRC relies heavily on unpaid volunteer service to augment the work of the paid keepers who clean the cages and feed the cats. Hedderick said they are always looking for more volunteers to do tours. “If we don’t have enough volunteers, we have to pull keepers to do tours, and then the cats aren’t getting fed,” Hedderick said. Hedderick had wanted to study animals since
college, but she ended up doing 30 years of work in computers. The EFRC gave her the chance to work with animals as she had always wanted. She got started at the EFRC when she stayed in the overnight room in a house inside an enclosure where cats roam right outside the window. Guests who stay in the overnight room get to go on unlimited tours and watch the keepers feed the cats. “I read a newspaper article about this place, and it mentioned that there was an overnight room,” Hedderick said. “I told my husband that’s what I wanted to do for my birthday, and I’ve been here ever since. They are easy to fall in love with.” Hedderick has served as a volunteer for 11 years. She now trains other volunteers like Dana Roach. Roach has been volunteering at the EFRC for two and a half years. He said he has always been interested in wildlife. He studied conservation law enforcement in college, and he worked at Yellowstone National Park before becoming an explosives handler. “I had a lot of spare time on my hands, and I had always looked for a place where I could volunteer and give back a little bit,” Roach said. “One day me and a friend from work came up here, and I never left.” Roach said one of his favorite parts about
volunteering is getting to build a relationship with the cats. It takes the cats several months, if not years, to get comfortable with new volunteers, and he said it is rewarding to hear them make their “chuff ” sound of greeting at you for the first time. “I go home and chuff to my kids, it drives them nuts,” Roach said. “The people at work think I’m crazy. ‘What are you gonna do this weekend, Dana, go work for free again?’ I say, ‘Yes, thank you.’” Roach said volunteering is not for everyone. Volunteers are required to give at least 12 hours of service per month, but Roach said he believes it’s a worthy cause and he feels like he’s doing his part. “It’s good that there are places like this, when you go on the rescues and see some of the conditions that these cats are in, this is obviously the best that we can do for them,” Roach said. “For the most part, the cats here are spoiled. You can tell they’re happy.” Hedderick also said the volunteer job is not easy, but it is worth it to keep the cats company and develop bonds with them. “It’s just such a neat place, and people are always so interested to see the cats,” Hedderick said. “It gives you some experience in working with people, and the cats grow on you. Once all of a sudden one recognizes you and comes right up to you. It really gets your heart.”

Keeping who safe? WE SAY: National fraternities support the Safe Campus Act, a bill that would benefit those accused of sexual assault When it comes to sexual assault, no one’s rooting for the terror that affects one in four women who attend college, a number supported by a survey commissioned by the Association of American Universities in 2015. And no one’s in the corner for a crime that’s so underreported by men, the statistics are practically useless. No one wants this heinous act to increase in frequency on college campuses across the country. But the recent actions by a few organizations have led us to question if they intend to decrease the amount of sexual assault reports. As you may or may not be familiar with, the “Safe Campus Act of 2015” was introduced in Congress by Rep. Matt Salmon, R-Ariz., in late July. As cited by the bill, “if an institution of higher education which is subject to this part receives a covered allegation, along with written consent to proceed from the alleged victim, the institution shall report and refer the allegation to the law enforcement agency of the unit of local government with jurisdiction to respond to such allegations.” Essentially, the bill was formed to require police involvement in sexual assault crimes. According to the bill, a survivor may notify their institution if they don’t want the crime to be reported to the police. However, if a survivor does this, their school may not implement any punishments against the accused, meaning no suspensions and no expulsions,
according to section 163.2.B of the bill. What this bill does is tie the hands of universities from helping survivors with the red tape of legislation that would, in theory, increase reports of rape to law enforcement. And what’s even more unnerving is the support this bill has gained from national Greek organizations. NYmag.com reported that Senator Trent Lott, R-Miss., would begin lobbying for the Safe Campus Act after being hired by a coalition made up of the North-American Interfraternity Conference, National Panhellenic Conference, Alpha Tau Omega, Sigma Nu and Kappa Alpha Order. The Huffington Post reported that the North-American Interfraternity Conference, which represents 74 men’s fraternities, deleted it’s web page advocating the Safe Campus Act on Monday. While it’s unfair to claim these organizations would blatantly want to increase unreported rapes and protect its members, — many of whom are the alleged perpetrators in campus sexual assault cases — it’s impossible to ignore the implications of this bill and the money these groups have thrown at it. Lott and a group of lobbyists have accumulated about $140,000 from this coalition. And before you believe the rhetoric the Safe Campus Act would increase reports by survivors to the police, and thus result in more convictions, you might want to look at the raw data.
According to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, 32 percent of rapes are not reported to law enforcement — not surprising. But only 7 percent of these reports lead to an arrest. Three percent were sent to a prosecutor, 2 percent ended in a felony conviction and only 2 percent of rapists spent a day in jail. It’s possible that reporting more assaults will increase the conviction rate, but the shocking results that 98 percent of rapists walk free isn’t convincing the 68 percent of non-reporting survivors to speak up. It’s perceived by many advocacy groups that a “chilling effect” would occur on campuses across the country if this bill were to be introduced; survivors would be less inclined to come forward with allegations to colleges and universities if there are more hoops to jump through. “We don’t force victims of other crimes to interact with police and file reports and initiate a criminal justice investigation,” Kristen Houser, chief public affairs officer for the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape, told the Huffington Post in regards to reports with universities. Whatever motives these organizations have for supporting this bill, it’s imperative to understand it doesn’t support survivors but allows the accused the right of protection. We’ve done enough harm to survivors on our campuses. This bill is the last thing they need.

The hunting moosetake of epic proportions
OPINION
In perhaps the easiest hunting day of all time, a group of hunters in Norway shot dead two elk. The problem was that they were firing through a fence into an animal enclosure. The hunters said that their dogs led them into the park enclosure at the Polar Park Arctic

Wildlife Center in Norway. After shooting the elk, the hunters realized their mistake and alerted the zoo. “I think this is very sad, and it’s not okay,” said Heinz Strathmann, the zoo’s chief executive. “We had five elks, now we have only three.”

Being there for friends with depression Despite its being a part of many of our lives, depression is still an enigma to American culture. Our friends and loved ones who experience the disorder feel the effects of these misunderstandings in a powerfully oppressive way. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “only 25 percent of adults with mental health symptoms believed that people are caring and sympathetic to persons with mental illness.” Depression is an isolating and confusing force of nature, and the typical interactions we’ve come to expect from our friends might change, according to psychcentral.com. By educating ourselves on the reality of the disorder and taking the time to be there for our friends and loved ones, depression can be made a more bearable experience. It might sound simplistic and obvious, but making a conscious and genuine effort to be there for your friend can have a powerfully positive effect. You might feel uncomfortable or intrusive, as individuals experiencing depression do need their own space from time to time. While this is understandable, I dare you to step out of your comfort zone, in order to become a better friend. Take a leap of faith and communicate your willingness to be there, as this can open the door for a more profound relationship between the two of you. Words can be difficult to find, so start small and build from there. Allow your friend to talk and all you have to do is be

an attentive listener. Simply being there to hold a hand, allowing them to cry or helping with a household task speaks volumes about how important they are to you. You might be tempted to minimize the situation or utilize tough love, but this sort of pushiness can only drive your friend further from you. Instead, focus on their story. Use the words and phrases they use to demonstrate you are truly hearing what they say. You might make mistakes, but it’s fine and to be expected. Don’t be discouraged by the setbacks you experience along with your friend. The fact that you’re trying will lead to a sense of trust between the person in need of help and yourself. By recognizing your humanity and apologizing for any assumptions or dismissals you might make, your friend will come to trust and value your efforts all the more. Be patient and present for friends and loved ones experiencing depression. With the custom-fit friendship they need from you, this painful period in their life can come to strengthen the bond the two of you share. In the end, we remember the people who truly made an effort to touch our lives. sjdickma@indiana.edu @Samuel_Dickman
ALL RILED UP
‘Teeth’ and deciding to wait for sex In preparation for Halloween, some friends and I watched a not-so-recent movie on Netflix — “Teeth” — this past weekend. It tells the story of a girl who pledges to wait to have sex until after marriage and then, through a series of terrible events, realizes that a lack of knowledge about sexuality and her own body is physically harmful to herself and others. Going by the title of the film, I’m betting you can guess how. The decision to wait to have sex for however long one feels appropriate is a decision that everyone should make for themselves. Some people don’t want to wait, and some people don’t want to have sex at all. Anywhere on the scale is fine. The problem arises when people aren’t given the proper education and are therefore unable to make an educated decision. In Indiana, the law pushes an emphasis on abstinence as the best way to avoid pregnancy and STDs. According to the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States, Congress has spent more than $1.5 billion in the last 25 years promoting abstinenceonly programs. Considering every study done on the subject has proven abstinenceonly programs have no effect on the sexual activity of those participating in this type of education, this money could have been put to better use. A study conducted on behalf of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services found that abstinence programs did not decrease the rate of sexual activity at all in regions where these programs were mandated. The danger here lies in the responsibilities that come with having an active sex life that abstinence education leaves out. By denying the possibility of sex, students are left more vulnerable to situations when sex isn’t exactly planned. For example,
Jordan Riley is a senior in comparative literature.
these students are unfamiliar with contraceptives and consent when they do suddenly decide to have sex. Studies have proven that people are going to have sex whether you tell them to or not. The danger is not sexuality but what happens when people aren’t educated enough to make responsible decisions about their sexuality. That leads to STDs, unwanted pregnancies and myth speculation. It can also factor into the rape culture prevalent in today’s society. During this month, California became the first state to require high school health education classes cover affirmative consent as a part of their sex education programs. Affirmative consent means verbal and consistent consent from both parties during sex. The main takeaway from the students seemed to be the confusion and complications affirmative consent would bring to simple hookups. iscussion will lead to a greater understanding of what consent is and when and where it is necessary — not just by students but by society as a whole. The only way to answer these complex questions is to talk about them. Everyone that is sexually active needs to be aware of the possible situations a sexually active lifestyle can present. That is why abstinenceonly education leads to more confusion. Pretending these problems aren’t there just keeps teens ignorant about sexuality and their own bodies, a consequence that carries its own set of teeth. jordrile@indiana.edu @riledupids

Playing the decency game WE SAY: A cleaner Playboy might lead to a positive trend In a bizarre change of pace, Playboy Magazine, the infamous female nudity and sexuality magazine, has decided to stop publishing female nude bodies. The change had us at the Editorial Board scratching our heads. We have long promoted female sexual empowerment and female equality, and so we are in full support of Playboy’s decision to downplay the objectification of women, but such a sudden and complete 180 degree switch was somewhat unexpected. The company’s chief executive, Scott Flanders, told the New York Times that the reason for the switch was relatively simple. “You’re now one click away from every sex act imaginable for free,” said Flanders. “And so it’s just passé at this juncture.” Well, all right then. With that in mind, we have to wonder if Playboy’s brand switch has less
to do with female empowerment and more to do with keeping the magazine relevant and increasing readership. Essentially, this switch isn’t about starting a conversation about the objectification of women; rather, it’s just about making a buck. With the Internet now providing what Playboy used to — the naked female body — the magazine’s continued use of nude models is now entirely redundant. What the magazine first pioneered might just be its eventual downfall. How the tables have turned. We have to wonder if nixing nudity really means a total brand switch, and we don’t think it does. If Playboy really were planning to be consistent with this change, it would shut down the Playboy Bunny program, revamp the structure of their club circuit and start serious discussions about the danger of pornography
and the porn industry for its female participants and the need to protect sex workers. As far as we can see, the company is simply out to capitalize on sex, as they always have been. And while it’s ironic that the new way to do so in the digital age is to downplay nudity, we still don’t see a fundamental brand switch. Nor do we hear productive conversations about how Playboy’s existence has, at the end of the day, done more harm for women than good. But we hope a cleaner Playboy might start a positive trend in the portrayal of women’s bodies in mainstream media. So, while we recognize a need to criticize the magazine’s decision, we hope that this might lead to long-term positive change. At least it will make the editorials easier to read.
NATALIE KNOWS
Smart women and smart fashion Fashion is probably the closest thing to religion I will ever experience, which isn’t necessarily saying much. But shopping with my mom is our favorite motherdaughter activity, especially with a mother who’s taught me elegance and individuality when it comes to my style. Throughout the years, I’ve allowed my style to change and grow as I do. But college emphasizes a casual tone to everyday dress. Fellow columnist Madison Hogan offered her thoughts last week on people who, despite wearing athletic attire, haven’t hit the gym in months. When Nigerian novelist and feminist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie attended university in the United States, she said the “insistent casualness of dress alarmed” her. In her article featured in Elle magazine, “Why can’t a smart woman love fashion?” Adichie wrote, as a stylish
woman who loved dressing well, she was not used to this sweatpants-geared style — or lack thereof. She began to tone down her style after quickly learning “a lesson about Western culture: Women who wanted to be taken seriously were supposed to substantiate their seriousness with a studied indifference to appearance.” Essentially, a woman cannot be taken seriously in the professional realm and be fashionable at the same time. You must be a smart, serious woman who does not bother with the frivolousness of fashion, or you won’t be as successful. A friend later gave Adichie advice, saying, “Wear what you want to. It’s your work that matters.” However, I sympathize with her dilemma. I have asked my roommates if my red lipstick is too much for a Thursday night or wondered if my heels are overdoing it.
I’ve always tried to uphold my belief that one can never be overdressed or wear too much black, but I still struggle putting this into practice at times. Well, not the wearing too much black part, anyway. But I know I am at my most confident when I’m dressed well. I am my best self. Dressing down for the sake of others is sacrificing my individuality. If I’m dressed like a slob, I feel like a slob. And it’s safe to make the assumption that people may therefore view me as such. Men, however, do not face such scrutiny when it comes to their attire, arguably because there’s less to scrutinize about. Men are not marked the same way that women are, especially when it comes to appearance. However, I argue that some men on this campus could learn a thing or two about style. Every time a guy

walks out the door wearing white Nike socks that hit his mid calves with Sperry Topsiders, a fashion designer in Milan discovers a grey hair. I once gagged a little when I saw a guy wearing athletic socks with Birkenstock sandals. I fantasized about the Fashion Police arresting him on the spot. Jokes aside, we should dress how we feel most comfortable. No woman should be taken any less seriously because of how she chooses to dress in the workplace, or anywhere for that matter. Here’s advice I’d imagine Beyoncé would give: Be fierce, dress to kill and always be yourself. nrowthor@indiana.edu @nrowthornIU

file through the café Monday to munch on baklava, hug the woman and show her that this act of aggression doesn’t represent Bloomington. Anna AlexandrovaBeauchamp, a friend of the victim’s, posted her lunch plans on Facebook, encouraging others to dine at the Turkish café in a demonstration of support. “This behavior is unacceptable and is not what Bloomington stands for,” she wrote. Glorianne Leck and Susan Savastuk are a lesbian couple who came to eat and show solidarity. They know the victim from frequenting her business in town. They also know what it feels like to be marginalized. Each time they enter a new business, they worry about being discriminated against. The first time they entered the victim’s business, they said, they immediately found that those fears were unfounded. The small and lively woman is open to all types of people. Friends describe her as motherly. “She is so sweet,” Savastuk said. “She opened up her friendship to me. Even though I am different, she wanted to know me and my family, and she appreciated my spouse.” A pregnant black woman, an elderly white man, a young student and several women wearing headscarves of their own line up in front of the counter. One mother, who also has a 9-year-old, brought flowers. The victim smiles at them all, her bright eyes lined with laughter creases. She thanks them for coming and assures them she’ll be

When the cops arrived, Bickford bit one officer’s calf and tried to kick out the windows of the police car. Through all of the commotion, the nine-year-old girl clung to the restaurant’s railing, shivering and crying. “I couldn’t help you, mommy,” she cried again and again. “I couldn’t help you.” * * * That was three days ago. Since then, Bickford has been arrested and released. After being charged with minor possession and consumption of alcohol, intimidation, public intoxication, strangulation and three counts of battery, he paid $705 and walked out of the Monroe County Jail on Oct. 18. The woman’s young daughter hasn’t been able to fall asleep before 3 o’clock in the morning. On Monday she stayed home from school, afraid the man might find her again. The woman has that fear, too. As TV cameras and journalists arrive at the restaurant, she requests that her identity and profession be kept private for security concerns. Reporters aren’t the only people at the scene of the crime. A steady stream of friends and strangers

The woman herself is the first to admit she becomes strong in the face of adversity. Bickford’s attack was not the first time she’s experienced discrimination. On a snowy day last winter, she was in her place of work when a man came in holding up his phone. The phone’s flash was on as if the man was taking a video. He looked into the woman’s face, took one finger and made a slashing motion across his throat. “I’m going to kill you,” she remembers him saying as he took a step forward. She raised her chin and took a step forward of her own. “I’m not afraid of you,” she replied. The man turned and ran. “When something happens, I am so strong, then I collapse later,” she said. “You don’t feel the fear at that moment.” The woman has five children, all of whom were born in the United States. The family came to Bloomington more than a decade ago when her husband began his Ph.D. studies at IU. She said she wants her children to know that Bloomington is still a safe place.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Bickford’s initial hearing is scheduled for Friday. The woman said when she thinks of him, she feels bad for his mother. “I’ve tried to teach my kids to be very good people,” she said. “I’m sure she wanted her son to be a very good person. I’m not going to think she raised him like that.” The woman said she doesn’t hate Bickford, but she hates what he did. She said she’s going to pray for him — pray that he realizes what he did was wrong. Reflecting on the incident, she said she knows she could have died, and she’s happy God allowed her to live. A large group of friends echo the sentiment, as evidenced by the neverending stream of phone calls and well-wishers. As the lunch hour comes to a peak in the café, another stranger enters carrying a small box and a card. When the woman pulls the gift from the box, a lightweight scarf tumbles from her fingers. Dainty pink, yellow and blue flowers are stitched in a wreath around the scarf’s white center. “Dear Bloomingtonian,” the card reads. “Enclosed is a scarf given to me by my mother. Now I am giving it to you. May you always feel surrounded by love.” The woman’s tears well as she proudly hangs the gift on the restaurant’s wall. Once again, a headscarf has made her feel comforted and secure. When she wears it, she’ll have a constant reminder that God isn’t the only one there to love and protect her.

During the banquet, senior Mercedes Jones presented students with a way to combat hunger on campus. As the executive director of Crimson Cupboard, a food pantry opening on campus, Jones made participants aware of how the larger issue of hunger can be localized. She said the pantry will be based on an honor system, so those in need can be supplied without proof of their economic status. “There’s a great amount of students that are in need here,” she said. Junior Melissa Adkins said this is her second time participating in the simulation. When groups were asked to discuss the inequalities that cause hunger, she said the injustice becomes more apparent as part of the simulated lower class. “It’s easy to talk about poverty when you’re comfortably eating Mother Bear’s,” she said. “When we have a pile of cold rice, it’s not so fun to talk about.” Although the leftover food was offered to all classes at the end of the banquet, Moore said she hopes students leave with an idea of how the hour-long experience translated to the world. “I hope that they will have a more realistic

Hoosiers ready for Louisville By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu @MichaelHughes94
For the first time all season, junior goalkeeper Colin Webb found himself tested. Most teams don’t manage many shots against the Hoosiers because they can’t possess much of the ball. But Friday against Maryland, Webb was forced into making a season-high of six saves in a scoreless draw. As IU prepares for its next match against Louisville on Tuesday at Bill Armstrong Stadium, Webb said he expects only to be called upon a few times. “I think we’ll go back to where we were with their shot count and limiting their opportunities,” Webb said. In many ways, being tested could be better for Webb. The confidence of making a few important saves can extend into later games and is something Webb doesn’t have a lot of this season, IU Coach Todd
Yeagley said. This is no fault of Webb, he hasn’t been asked to do much this season. Making saves is one of the few opportunities for goalkeepers to gain confidence, Yeagley said. “Field players can have plays to get them confidence and goalkeepers need saves and shutouts,” Yeagley said. Webb and the rest of the Hoosiers will need that confidence going into Tuesday’s match. IU has struggled in Big Ten play, so non-conference games have kept its Rating Percentage Index among the best in the country. Louisville is ranked 22nd in the RPI while IU is 35th. This is also the last opportunity the Hoosiers will have to improve their postseason resume against a non-Big Ten team. “This is the end of our non-conference season, and this is a big game with a lot of implications to keep us in a good position for the tournament,” Yeagley said.
While the Cardinals may not present the same offensive threat as the Terrapins, they are still dangerous going forward. They counter, but counter differently. Louisville possesses the ball, but does not necessarily push forward immediately, Webb said. The Cardinals have five players with multiple goals this season and five more with at least three assists. “Of the teams we’ve played this year, their front players will be in the top tier of who we’ve played,” Yeagley said. “So it’s going to be a challenge.” Superficially, the Hoosiers should not have a problem with the Cardinals. They lead the all-time series 17-4-1, and Louisville has yet to win on the road this season. But the last two times Louisville has played in Bloomington, in 2011 and 2013, the games have ended in Louisville’s favor. No team has won backto-back matches in this series since IU won 14
IU (7-4-2) vs. Louisville (6-5-3) 7 p.m., Tuesday, Bill Armstrong Stadium straight matches to start the series. IU won last year’s match 3-0 at Louisville. Despite these facts, the Hoosiers are confident, partly because they believe they have played well this season and partly because the Hoosiers just like playing these matches, Yeagley said. Some of IU’s best results this season have come against regional non-conference teams. IU has lost just one non-conference game this season: a 1-0 overtime loss against Notre Dame in the 2015-16 season’s first weekend. “Our guys like it, and they’re up for these games,” Yeagley said. “The turnaround is challenging physically, but this time of the year they know what’s in front of them. We’re going to get every ounce of effort and energy and recovery that we can.”

812.855.7772 recsports.indiana.edu SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS:
IU Coach Kevin Wilson talked to players in a team meeting Monday morning. The topic of conversation was that IU needed to work on handling success. Handling failure hasn’t been as much of a problem, senior quarterback Nate Sudfeld said. The good plays are what Sudfeld and Wilson say the team needs to move on from. It’s the motto: play the next play. So when IU leads a Big Ten opponent 52-27, like it did Saturday against Rutgers, it is expected to play the next play and forget about that success. “It’s a good opportunity for us to learn from, and we’re real excited to be able to get this taste out of our mouths,” Sudfeld said. What Wilson said he does not like people thinking, though, is that the loss came down to a lack of maturity. “This team has shown it’s a mature team because we came back three games early,” Wilson said. “We’ve shown we can close games out. So to say we’re not a mature team, I don’t think we’d have had the success we had early.” His primary example was when Rutgers had scored 25 points to tie IU 52-52. The Scarlet Knights were in position to take the lead, but the Hoosiers blocked the kick to ensure the score was still knotted up. That was proof the team was still playing hard, he said. The actual problem in Wilson’s eyes was that IU was unable to handle the game’s
momentum, which he takes partial blame for. His biggest regret came with the game tied with about five minutes remaining. IU had a fourth down with four yards to go at it’s own 31-yard line. He decided to punt, because that is what makes sense in that situation. But now he looks back at what his head coach at Oklahoma, Bob Stoops, would have done. “I saw Coach Stoops do that several times where a piece of paper says punt, he’s like, ‘man, I’m not stopping them,’” he said. “You gotta get the first down.” The team said it will have to balance recovering from a dramatic loss with learning from what happened in the fourth quarter. Junior receiver Mitchell Paige said it’s difficult because IU did many good things in the first three quarters. He thinks they will focus on the fourth quarter so that doesn’t happen again. “The first three quarters is what we’re supposed to do, what we’re used to doing, that’s our standard of playing football, especially on offense,” he said. Now, the Hoosiers need to prepare for No. 7 Michigan State after three straight losses. Sophomore linebacker Marcus Oliver said the loss was frustrating because it was something they can control. Now they can only control what comes next. “Coach Inge has been saying don’t let them beat you twice,” Oliver said. “‘Don’t let them beat you this week because we’re so down about last week.’”
MEN’S TENNIS
IU duo improves on last year, wins regional matches By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu @trlehman_IDS
After five days of play, IU earned both United States Tennis Association and Intercollegiate Tennis Association Regional Championships on Monday in Knoxville, Tennessee. Senior Sam Monette was the catalyst to both victories, winning the singles championship and the doubles championship with partner senior Daniel Bednarczyk. “We wanted to see progress from last year,” Monette said. “But really we wanted to come here and win the title.” The tournament featured 128 singles players and 64 doubles teams and took place Oct. 15-19 at the University of Tennessee. In doubles, the MonetteBednarczyk duo was seeded sixth in the tournament, while Bednarczyk was seeded seventh in singles and Monette was 15th. The low seeds didn’t affect their mindset though, Monette said. “I came into this tournament thinking that, no matter what number was by my name or what number was by my opponent’s name, I was going to win,” Monette said. The championship competition began Monday with Monette and Bednarczyk facing off against Ball State’s Lucas Anderson and Andrew Stutz. The Hoosiers won both of their service games to take a 3-0 lead in the first set and eventually pulled away to win the set 6-1. In the second set, the Hoosiers broke the Cardinals once again on their first opportunity and took the victory with a 6-2 set win.
“I’ve known Danny since we were 10 years old in Canada,” said Monette, a native of Quebec. “With me and Danny, I feel like no one can touch us because they don’t have that connection. I know him as a brother, and he’s really the anchor of the team, mentally.” After a break, Monette walked onto the court once again to take on Eduardo Mena of Tennessee Tech for the singles championship. “There was very little time to prepare for another win,” Monette said. “So I used the momentum from the doubles match and the momentum created by the rest of the guys to motivate me through the match.” Monette only allowed Mena four set points throughout the two-set match, winning 6-1, 6-3. Despite the championship victories, Monette said the tournaments aren’t very significant for the season. “The goal in these tournaments is to just get ready for the season,” Monette said. “It’s nothing compared to the season.” While most of the team will travel to play in the Wake Forest Invitational Nov. 6 through Nov. 8, Monette and Bednarczyk qualified for the USTA/ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships Nov. 12 through Nov. 15 in Flushing, New York. Monette said the duo must stress early preparation, despite there being nearly a month until the national championship. “It can be tricky because after a good performance, it’s tough to get back to work right away,” Monette said. “With so much time between now and then, we need to start practicing and stay focused on what’s coming.”

Juilliard professor lectures about composer By Brooke McAfee bemcafee@indiana.edu @bemcafee24601
As he stood at the podium on the stage of FordCrawford Hall, David Dubal gestured his hands in a conductor-like fashion as a recording of a piano performance played. He used the music throughout his lecture to teach the audience about the Russian composer and pianist Alexander Scriabin. Monday’s lecture was co-sponsored by the Jacobs School of Music Lecture Series and the IU Department of Comparative Literature. The lecture was called “Commemorating the Centenary of the Death of Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915).” Dubal is a faculty member at The Juilliard School. In addition to teaching, he is a renowned pianist, writer and broadcaster. This was his first time visiting IU, Dubal said. “I’m very, very pleased to be here,” Dubal said as he began the lecture. “What a

campus. It’s magnificent. It’s surely better than the subways of New York City.” Dubal focused his lecture on Scriabin’s music and his life. The lecture commemorates the 100th anniversary of his death. Scriabin was a strange and interesting man who is not very well known, Dubal said. He described Scriabin’s music as “mystic impressionism” that is enigmatic, spiritual and thrilling. “Those who play him well find in Scriabin almost an addiction,” Dubal said. Dubal said Scriabin’s music conveys a sense of optimism, because he never lost hope in the human creative spirit. Dubal also gave a brief history of Scriabin’s life.
From an early age, music was an important part of Scriabin’s life, he said, and the piano became more than an inanimate object. Dubal said Scriabin was a restless thinker who worked with a passion that defied fatigue. The composer was also a narcissist, Dubal said, and he often referred to himself as the “real Messiah.” “No other music but his own interested him,” Dubal said. Dubal said Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff is an easy winner when it comes to famous pianists of the 20th century, but the lesser-known Scriabin is also an important composer. Scriabin was multi-faceted composer, Dubal said. “Any composer to survive 100 years after his death is an achievement,” Dubal said. Dubal has written many critically acclaimed books about piano literature, and he won an Emmy Award for his video, “The Golden Age of Journalism.” He used ex-

Another Round members commit to time and friendships By Patrick Wisdom pwisdom@indiana.edu | @wiskhalifa17
As the lights shine down, the men sing together in harmony. Their voices dip and rise to create a variety of sounds with no instruments — a style referred to as a cappella. Another Round is an allmale a cappella group at IU comprised of 12 members. Originally named Straight No Chaser, the group was founded by 10 former IU students in 1996 and later changed its name to Another Round after the original members formed a professional group, according to Another Round’s official website. The group performs at both public and private events three to six times per month, said IU senior Lars Feste, who is a member and co-business manager of the group. The public events are generally at auditoriums or theaters and are accessible
to the public, whereas the private events are closed events for corporations or companies. “This year, we’ve already performed at the Marriott in Indianapolis twice for companies,” Feste said. “We’ll be going back again in November for another private event, too.” While many of the group’s performances are local, they also perform at various out-of-state venues. According to its official website, the group will perform in four states other than Indiana this year including Illinois and Michigan. “We do a lot of traveling,” Feste said. “In past years, we’ve performed in Wisconsin, Missouri and Ohio. We’ve also traveled all the way to Colorado, and we’re actually going again in November.” Another Round also sings at sororities and restaurants, such as Uptown Cafe. Of the 12 members, three
University Players revive old format By Bridget Murray bridmurr@indiana.edu @bridget_murray
The University Players, a student-run theater group, focuses on creating bold, fresh theater. They will be reviving an old form of theater, radio drama, this fall in collaboration with WIUX. Although the form was popular in the past, the Radio Drama Playwriting Contest is a new concept for UP, Artistic Director of UP Kaitlyn Smith said. She said radio was the first way of getting theater out into the public. UP and WIUX are currently accepting scripts from eight to 20 minutes length, and chosen scripts will be auditioned to be performed on the air at WIUX 99.1 FM. Students may submit scripts for the contest to radiodrama@wiux.org. The deadline for submissions is midnight Nov. 2. UP’s radio drama is a way for students to find the hidden opportunities or careers in theater such as voice acting, Smith said. Alex Goodman, director of educational outreach for UP, said radio theater forces those in the production to hone specific parts of their trade. “Radio theater focuses on the art of verbal story telling,” she said in an email. “In a fully staged production, you have sets, costumes, lighting and other visual elements to help your audiences understand. In radio, we will have the opportunity to focus entirely on
the spoken text and the voice of each actor.” While there may not be many official classes for voice acting within the Department of Theatre and Drama, Smith said this gives students a chance to try it. “To a lot of us in theater, we are trained to project our voices ... filling an entire room, not into a microphone,” she said. She said student playwrights can gain valuable skills through the Radio Drama Playwriting Contest. “Being able to have your entire play spoken live is huge and really beneficial,” Smith said. Taking a play “from-pageto-stage,” or in this case the studio, gives playwrights the opportunity to see their work and make changes hands-on, Smith said. Goodman said she hopes the Radio Drama Playwriting Contest will bring diversity to UP. “The true test of an artist is being versatile, and I’m excited for our artists and audiences to experience something new,” she said in an email. Smith said the radio format allows UP to break the mold to enlighten both actors and audience members. “Sometimes fresh theater can be old theater,” she said. “At the end of the day, we’re a student theater group completely run by students, but for the students. This is just another thing, another skill they can add to their bag of tricks.”

are new to the group this year. Feste said getting acclimated to the group can sometimes be difficult for new members. “It’s definitely a process because everything moves pretty quickly at first,” Feste said. “We make it pretty clear to them that it’s a large commitment and something that should be taken very seriously.” The practice schedule can be taxing on new members at first, he said. The group has practice sessions Monday through Thursday and sometimes Sunday for about an hour and a half per session. Along with the rigorous practice sessions, the new members must also memorize a lot of new songs. Freshman Jared Griffin, who has only been in the
