COUNTY RECORDER

Young re-elected to U.S. House of Representatives for 3rd consecutive term

By Neal Earley njearley@indiana.edu

The loud festivities at the Republican election night party were quickly silenced as Congressman Todd Young approached the lectern at Macri’s at the Depot on Tuesday evening.

“Fellow Americans, fellow Hoosiers,” Young said to a crowd of supporters. “We won.”

Rep. Todd Young, R-9th District, announced his re-election upon defeating challengers Democrat Bill Bailey and Libertarian Mike Frey to win his third term in Congress.

Young won in a landslide with 63.22 percent of the vote, according to the Associated Press.

A loud cheer that rocked the packed room followed the

announcement. Young said he wanted to thank his supporters for their efforts in his campaign.

“Thank you so much,” Young said. “This is such an incredible honor to be elected to my third term as your United States Representative to Indiana’s 9th congressional district.”

Young went on to thank his opponents for running such respectable campaigns.

“It should go without saying if you have paid attention to this race, I was competing with some class acts for your vote and for others’ votes,” Young said. “Bill Bailey is a fine man, as is Mike Frey. They both care about this country. They care about the State of Indiana and the people of this area.”

In the previous two elections Young defeated Baron Hill in 2010

and Shelli Yoder in 2012.

Historically, Indiana’s 9th district has been represented by mostly Democrats in the past 50 years, with Congressman Lee Hamilton serving from 1965 to 1999. But now Young seems to have command of his district with a decisive victory Tuesday night.

“I think most Hoosiers are just commonsense kind of people,” Young said of his constituents.

“When I go out campaigning, I typically don’t segment people into Republicans and Democrats but instead try to offer a brand of leadership that is reflective of Hoosier commonsense.”

Young thanked his supporters’ efforts.

“Politics is a team sport, as I said before,” Young added. “And so

many valued members of our team are right here with us this evening, and I really, really appreciate it. We couldn’t have done it without your support, your encouragement, your very, very hard work in so many instances.”

Among his supporters were members from the Franklin College football team, whom Young acknowledged in his victory speech.

“I’m elated, I’m humbled, I’m privileged,” Young said. “And of course, this is the result we hoped for.

I feel validated that you can still run, in this day and age, an issue-based campaign.”

Supporters of Young said they were elated to hear the news of the SEE YOUNG, PAGE 6

County voter turnout lowest in 14 years

By Emily Ernsberger emelerns@indiana.edu | @emilyernsberger

Maybe it was because of the rain. Maybe it was because there were so few big-ticket items on the ballot. Maybe it was apathy.

Voter turnout for this year’s midterm election was at an alltime low.

In total, 25,657 voters in Monroe County cast ballots on Election Day and during early voting. That is 25 percent of total registered voters.

It is also the lowest number of voters in a midterm election since 1990, according to data from the Indiana Secretary of State’s office.

When more than 23,000 voters cast ballots in 1990, that comprised 50 percent of registered voters.

Nationally, voter turnout during midterm elections has been stagnant at about 40 percent for the past 66 years, according to data from the Untied States Census Bureau.

Midterm election turnout in Monroe County has ranged from

23,462 in 1990 to 36,333 in 2010, according to data from the Indiana Secretary of State’s website.

Every 12 years, such as this one, elections in Indiana will not have races that typically draw large voter turnout, such as elections for presidential and gubernatorial offices.

In 2002, the last time an election without big-ticket races took place in Indiana, 27,422 people voted in Monroe County, which is 30 percent of registered voters.

Indiana voter turnout in midterm elections has been between 39 and 56 percent in the last three decades.

Bloomington had a reported 5,057 voters in its 23 precincts.

Those encompassing parts of the IU campus had among the lowest percentage of turnout.

Bloomington 1, which includes the downtown area between Ninth and Third streets down to Walnut Avenue, had a collective 9.7 percent results rate.

Lasting effects of WWI discussed at roundtable

By Adam Smith adbsmith@indiana.edu @adbsmithIU

Stephen Bridges, Consul General of the British Consulate General in Chicago, wore an image of a poppy in his lapel Tuesday night in Presidents Hall.

This may have no significance to some, but many are reminded of the poppies that grew out of fields of dead servicemen slain in World War I, as described

by Canadian soldier John McCrae in his poem “In Flanders Fields.”

Bridges was one of 12 politicians who participated in a roundtable discussion hosted by IU President Michael McRobbie about the lasting effects of World War I that linger throughout modern politics. The event was hosted as part of IU’s commemoration of the centennial of what is known as the “War to End All Wars.”

Representing the United States in the roundtable were former U.S. Indiana Sen. Richard G. Lugar and former U.S. Rep. for Indiana Lee H. Hamilton. Lugar, Hamilton and Bridges were joined by politicians from nine other nations involved in World War I: Australia, Bulgaria, Austria, Germany, Italy, Belgium, France and Serbia.

“The task to see the legacy the war left is a daunting task,” said Giorgio Aliberti, counselor and head of political affairs for the Embassy of Italy in Washington, D.C. Four of the key components he said he believes make up this legacy are a rise in nationalism, vast fragmentation both in Europe and elsewhere, an increase in the desire for collective security for the world’s nations and a need for integration between nations.

A major topic of discussion was the collapse of the Ottoman Empire

after World War I and its effect on the Middle East.

Bridges said the way the British Empire and their allies divided the area is one of the biggest mistakes of the war and can be said to have contributed vastly to the modern problems the world faces in the region now.

The panelists also discussed the rapid industrialization that occurred during the war. They said the advancement of weapons since the war often moves at a faster pace than politicians can keep up with.

Vincent Floreani, consul general of the French consulate in Chicago, said World War I marked the “collapse of humanism” and the start of a world of “absurdity and nihilism” as soldiers became machines of death.

The roundtable was not entirely bleak, however, and panelists mentioned how World War I did leave some positive legacies. One that nearly every panelist mentioned was the war’s ability to propel America to world superpower status despite its initial desire to stay out of the war.

Lugar said he believes it is unfortunate that this same attitude of isolationism that kept the country out of most of World War I still prevails in the American mindset.

Maddie Mitchell, a sophomore studying political science, said she was inspired to attend the roundtable by the class on the war she is taking at the Hutton Honors College.

She said the roundtable was an “eye-opening experience, because you don’t normally get such a global perspective.”

The panelists agreed that analyzing the past from this global perspective is a valuable tool.

As Hans Peter Manz, ambassador of the Republic of Austria to the U.S., said, “History is always unfinished business.”

Students attempt to break the world record for the largest game of knockout Tuesday at the Wildermuth Intramural Center. Approximately 60 of the 571 students needed to break the record were in attendance.

Students try to break record

By Anna Hyzy akhyzy@indiana.edu | @annakhyzy

IU Campus Recreational Sports hosted a free game of knockout open to all IU students Wednesday.

Registration began at 7 p.m. at the Wildermuth Intramural Center, and the game began at 7:30.

“The whole idea for this is to kind of start a freshman tradition,” said Kathy Bayless, executive director of Campus Recreational Sports.

Bayless said the knockout challenge will likely become an annual event in which, each year, the goal would be to break the record of the year before in number of participants.

“We’re trying to set the IU record to then be broken,” she said.

Bayless also said they may eventually try to break the Guinness World Record but that breaking the record didn’t seem like a good starting point.

In order to break a Guinness World Record it is required that participants submit video recordings of

the event and heavily document proof that they broke the record.

Bayless said while that may be something fun in the future, right now it was just for fun.

Bayless said the idea was brought up last year.

Each year there are changes made to programming that fall into one of two categories: new programming or program enhancement, she said.

Knockout was an example of new programming.

Popular campus events such as battleship have been the same.

Samantha Lowry, assistant director for intramural sports, said this year the knockout challenge served largely to gauge interest to see if breaking a world record in the future would be feasible.

The game was set up in a waterfall style. If students stayed in the game, they moved on to the next hoop.

In the center of the game was a speaker attached to a mic, which Lowry used to direct students. The Recreational Sports mascot, Andi,

was present, high-fiving students as they went through the game.

Approximately 60 students attended, far from the 571 participants that would be necessary to break the world record.

Additional new programs in the works for this year include bubble soccer and log rolling, Bayless said.

Knockout was chosen for the event because it appeals to many students.

“I think the best part is that it’s very low skill level so that anyone can participate,” Lowry said.

There were 10 student staff members involved in running the event, Lowry said.

A number of professional staff members also attended but weren’t necessarily involved.

Lowry said the event was advertised mostly through word of mouth. They also chalked, made a Facebook event and e-mailed students who had participated in past Recreational Sports events.

Freshman Erin Butler won the tournament.

“It was great,” she said.

Butler said she came to the tournament with a friend and did not expect to make it so far in the tournament.

Her name will be placed on a plaque on the knockout trophy, which will most likely be displayed in the WIC. Lowry said discussion has already begun regarding when the tournament will be held next year.

She said possible times suggested have included Welcome Week or the second week of school when Lowry said students seem to be excited about being on campus.

There has also been discussion of pairing the event with RecFest.

Lowry said the rain may have had something to do with the low turnout.

“I felt like we could’ve had a few more,” she said.

She also said she thought the turnout was a positive foundation for the event that they can build on for years to come.

“You can just come, play and have a good time,” she said.

BFC discuss student depression, education affordability

By Ashleigh Sherman aesherma@indiana.edu | @aesherma

The Bloomington Faculty Counsel addressed education affordability and student health at a meeting Tuesday.

MaryFrances McCourt, IU senior vice president, chief financial officer and treasurer, educated members of the BFC on Affordable IU, an initiative aimed at stabilizing tuition increases, providing financial aid, increasing financial literacy, reducing direct costs and encouraging on-time graduation.

To encourage on-time graduation, the initiative encompasses current programs, such as the Summer Tuition Discount Program, the new Office of Completion and Student Success, the new Graduation Progress System and the Finish

in Four, a tuition freeze for juniors and seniors set to graduate in four years.

Furthermore, undergraduate financial aid has increased by $281 million in the past seven years, McCourt said.

This has resulted in a $31-million decrease in undergraduate student debt, McCourt said.

Matthew Gough, INPIRG campus organizer, was also scheduled to present about open textbooks. Due to time constraints, however, Gough is now set to present during a Bloomington Faculty Council meeting in January.

Chris Meno, coordinator of outreach and consultation at the IU Health Center, also spoke to members of the BFC about Counseling and Psychological Services, particularly the role of faculty in encouraging

students to take advantage of CAPS’ services.

In an average classroom of 100 students throughout the past 12 months, 18 students will have been diagnosed with depression, seven will have seriously considered suicide and 1.5 will have attempted suicide, Meno said.

Only 15.6 percent of these students will have taken advantage of University counseling services, Meno said.

Students seeking help are most likely to reach out to their peers, followed by their associate instructors, teaching assistants and then their professors, Meno said.

Students are unlikely to reach out to counselors, Meno said.

“So it’s so important that you know more about the counseling center, because you are going to be the eyes

and ears who are going to run into these problems much more frequently than the counselors,” she said.

Professors, however, may feel it is not their place to reach out to their students, fearing they will upset or embarrass their students by reaching out to them or feeling that they don’t know how to reach out to their students, Meno said.

She said faculty should nevertheless reach out to students.

“If there’s one thing that I want you to take away from this presentation, it’s that students say that encouragement from others, or lack of encouragement from others, to seek help makes a huge difference,” Meno said.

Faculty should therefore merely encourage the student to seek help, Meno said.

Ind. Republican stronghold follows trend in Congress

By Emily Ernsberger emelerns@indiana.edu @emilyernsberger

Voters in Indiana and across the nation decided to make Indiana and the 114th U.S. Congress a little more red.

All nine incumbents for the House of Representatives were re-elected Tuesday during the midterm elections. Winners kept their districts with anywhere between 54 and 70 percent of the votes.

These re-elected representatives will be part of a Republican-dominated Congress.

Though Indiana did not have any large ticket items on this year’s ballot, national attention was focused on various senatorial races, in which the Republicans took the most victories.

Thirty-six of 100 Senate seats were contested Tuesday. Eleven winners were Democrats.

Six of those Republican victories were in Montana, South Dakota, Colorado, Arkansas, Iowa and West Virginia in previously Democratic states.

For most of President Obama’s time in office, the Democrats have had control of the Senate. This transfer of party power gives the Republicans the majority in both the Senate and the House.

In the 113th Congress, the Senate was split between 53 Democrats, 45 Republicans and two Independents.

All 435 seats in the House were up for election Tuesday and increased their seat count to retain the majority. Seven of the nine representatives in Indiana are

Controlling Congress With seven wins in Tuesday’s midterm elections, Republicans now control a majority of the 114th Congress.

Republicans.

According to a Gallup poll released Monday, 29 percent of registered voters in the United States believe the country would be better off if Republicans controlled Congress, compared to the 27 percent who believe America would benefit from control of the Democratic party. 40 percent believe America would be the same regardless of the party in charge.

The Louisiana Senate race and two representative races resulted in ties.

U.S. senators are up for election every six years.

With this new transfer of party power, the party control of the Senate could retain until the next midterm election in 2018.

Politically, this may be a difficult final two years for President Obama with a Congress dominated by the opposite party.

State races across the nation were also run by Republicans. Thirty-seven states had gubernatorial races that resulted in a majority of wins by Republican governors.

Republicans also dominated Indiana statewide races. Incumbents Connie Lawson and Suzanne Crouch retained their respective Secretary of State and Auditor of State positions. Republican Kelly Mitchell won the Treasurer of State race, adding to the sweep of Republicans and creating a victory for women in the statewide races.

Monroe County Assessor, Judy Sharp, speaks to the Monroe County Democrats watch party Tuesday.

Sharp defeated her challenger, William Ellis, in the 2014 mid term elections.

Sharp wins assessor, Ellis not conceding

By Neal Earley and Matt Bloom region@idsnews.com

As the cheers roared celebrating Todd Young’s victory at his Bloomington watch party, a different kind of atmosphere took hold of Republican assessor candidate William Ellis’ camp: “shell shock.”

With 100 percent of precincts reporting, incumbent Monroe County Assessor Judy Sharp, a Democrat, defeated challenger Ellis with 55.78 percent of the vote. As of 11:53 p.m. Tuesday night, Sharp had 12,286 votes to Ellis’ 9,738.

“I’m kind of shellshocked, I’m not going to lie to you,” Ellis said of the election results. “But like I said, the numbers are the numbers.”

The Monroe County assessor’s race has been largely contested and gained considerable momentum throughout the campaign season.

The first bit of controversy came when Ellis was told he was not eligible to run after the primary because he had yet to acquire a level three assessment

Democratic challenger Bailey concedes in District 9 race

By Matt Bloom aambloom@indiana.edu @Matthew_Bloom

After the results were written on a white board in the Monroe County Democrats office, Elizabeth Schlemmer, county coordinator for Bill Bailey’s campaign, stepped forward to speak on his behalf.

“We had interns who went and worked a night shift at Starbucks after calling for us all day,” she said.

“There are so many thanks to give, and as charming as he always is, Bill is in good spirits.”

The preliminary results showed 10,960 votes for Bailey and 21,525 votes for Rep. Todd Young, R-9th District.

The dozens of candidates, interns and community members applauded Schlemmer as she left the room.

Bailey himself was at his own watch party hosted at his campaign headquarters in Seymour, Ind. “I am proud to have had

the opportunity in a free country to be able to run for Congress,” Bailey posted on his campaign’s Facebook page. “I have made many new friends throughout the district and I appreciate the support that I have received from everyone!”

Throughout the evening, the atmosphere at the Bloomington office had been optimistic. Volunteers made calls even after polls had closed. Roni Embry, a volunteer from Indianapolis and former lobbyist, was still dialing numbers up in Lake County, near Chicago, since the polls there were still open.

Others set up the buffet of turkey and butternut squash soup. They brought their dogs. They talked about work that day.

Upstairs, a dozen other interns and student volunteers sat on the floor, calling voters. “’Til the bitter end,” a volunteer said as he started making another call.

Bailey explained how throughout the campaign he had seen his staff working to do as much as they could.

“Of course we’re disappointed in the results after 18 months of campaigning and the efforts of our many volunteers in the 9th District.

We thought a low-voter turnout would be in our favor, but the almost two-to-one preference of voters favoring Mr. Young proved otherwise,” Bailey said on his campaign site after conceding the race to Rep. Young. “We congratulate Mr. Young and wish him well as he represents those of us who live in the 9th District for another two years.”

Victors and candidates who lost their races gathered in the office’s living room. They accepted their wins and defeats with gratitude for their managers and supporters.

As the clock hit 10 p.m., they grabbed their coats and bags and hugged each other goodnight.

“Next time,” some said.

of not disclosing a conflict of interest, which is a felony in Indiana. Sharp refuted the claim calling it, “totally ridiculous.”

In a press conference Ellis called for a special prosecutor to investigate the matter. Now that the campaign is done, Ellis said he no longer intends to push the issue any further.

“If I lead it, it almost seems like sour grapes,” Ellis said of pursuing his accusations against Sharp.

Ellis said he still encourages the issues to be looked into, though be would not be spearheading any efforts.

“He’s been an excellent candidate,” said Steve Hogan, chair of the Monroe County Republican Party.

“He has worked as hard as any candidate that we got, and that I think that his name is definitely out there.”

Elsewhere, at the Monroe County Democrat Office Tuesday night, incumbent Sharp addressed the crowd wearing her bright pink campaign sweatshirt.

“It’s about all the people here,” she said. “Thank you for your support and all the work you did during this election.”

certification.

At the time, Assessor Sharp also did not have the level three certification, not needing it after being grandfathered in to the new requirement. Both Sharp and Ellis ended up obtaining their respective level three certifications.

“I’m glad we have a level three assessor now, no matter which person is chosen,” Ellis said.

Ellis said even though he lost, he said he believes he ran a successful campaign.

“One thing I know I can take comfort in is that I moved the conversation forward for the level of training,” Ellis said.

Ellis said he was disappointed with early voting numbers and that even though he was not ready to concede, he was willing to accept the fate of defeat.

“If I lost that’s fine,” Ellis said. “Of course I thought the race would have been closer. This was a race that people got very excited about, and I had a lot of cross-party support.”

SHRACK BITE

Death on your own terms

ELISA SHRACK is a senior in human development.

EMMA WENNINGER is a junior in English.

Brittany Maynard ended her life peacefully during Halloween weekend.

Her decision was a brave and stigmatized choice that needs to be available for more patients like Maynard, if we can do it right.

She was 29 years old and had been diagnosed with glioblastoma, a cancerous brain tumor found in the cerebral hemispheres. She had tried once to get it removed, but it came back.

She was going to die.

So she and her husband moved to Oregon, where the state’s Death with Dignity Act allows terminally ill patients to end their lives through lethal doses of medications which are prescribed by a physician.

In 2013, 122 people used the act to commit medically monitored and administered suicide.

In 1998, Ramon Sampedro, a quadriplegic fisherman, fought to be the first medical suicide in Spain and eventually filmed himself committing suicide at home by drinking cyanidelaced water.

I believe medically administered suicide needs to be available to terminally ill patients, but it must be thought through.

We cannot have another case like Sampedro, whose disturbing struggle to die severely damaged the culture of thought around death with dignity.

Maynard became an advocate for Death with Dignity online and through social media, posting about how it was she arrived at her decision.

It seems when we think about medically administered suicide, we think of painful euthanasia of a depressed patient who doesn’t want to go through treatment just because.

Maynard’s cancer was incurable. Its symptoms and subsequent treatment would be incredibly painful.

Her decision was no different than Talia Castellano, a cancer patient famous for her YouTube videos.

Castellano had been battling cancer from a very early age and had taken to YouTube to teach girls like her how to feel beautiful.

After double diagnoses of neuroblastoma and pre-luekemia, she decided not to receive treatment and died in 2013. She, too, decided to die on her own terms.

Maynard made a smart decision. She spared her family not only the monetary expense of cancer treatments but the mental burden of watching a loved one suffer.

She was facing months to years of pain just to extend a life whose quality would be mediocre.

But she was chronically and terminally ill. If we are going to expand the Death with Dignity Act, the way that Maynard’s family wants it to be, it cannot be offered willy-nilly to every patient that comes in for treatment.

And we must teach the general public about the process in order to demolish the idea that patients who undergo the procedure are just giving up on themselves, aren’t really that sick or are in any way going to hell.

We’re all going to die, but for some facing extreme options, we should let them die peacefully and on their own terms. ewenning@indiana.edu

ILLUSTRATION BY ROSE HARDING | IDS

Institute of higher learning WE SAY: You should have planned this better Universities in Colorado have been having issues controlling the use of marijuana among students younger than 21 years old.

Among the many issues, “runners,” or students older than 21 who are able to legally buy marijuana, have been obtaining weed from medical dispensaries and distributing it to underage students, in the same way that alcohol is often provided to minors.

Authorities have expressed their surprise that there are issues with legalized marijuana use, which in itself is troubling, and across the board it seems officials do not know how to handle it.

If Colorado were going to legalize marijuana, they should have looked at the distribution and consumption of other products with age restrictions attached.

This includes the sale of products like alcohol. It might have even been in their best interest to take a closer look at these seemingly lax medical dispensaries.

By 2009, 10.4 million young people between 12 and 20 drank, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.

There are about 5,000 alcoholrelated deaths each year among people under 21 years old.

Marijuana is a popular substance.

In a 2013 survey released by Healthy Kids Colorado, 37 percent of high school students re-

ported trying marijuana.

Given its popularity and the effects that is has, the legalization of marijuana should have come with strings attached.

It is an intoxicating substance that underage people can now get their hands on easily.

Problems should have been anticipated, and policies should have been in place when legalization was established.

It is great that there is an age limit for the use of marijuana.

It indicates that authorities recognize marijuana is still powerful and can potentially lead to larger problems with drug use, in the way that alcohol can lead to the abuse of other substances.

But this age restriction is hard to enforce when older people are willing to purchase marijuana for underage people.

The fact that this is happening is not surprising. The fact that authorities are unsure how to deal with it is.

Moreover, officials expressed surprise that so many underage people gained access to the drug points to an issue with the lack of policies when it comes to the legalization of marijuana.

It is more surprising that the state did not seem to have any policies in place before the legalization was made official.

The state should have taken more responsibility to develop consequences for those buying marijuana for underage users.

The problem also stem from the over-prescription of marijuana.

Students old enough to purchase the drug claimed they visited a clinic to be treated for medical problems they made up.

The patients claimed it was incredibly easy to convince the medical staff to prescribe marijuana.

That’s extremely problematic.

If it were not so easily accessible to these people, not as many underage students would use marijuana.

The medical staff and workers at the dispensaries need to establish a way of screening those who are requesting a prescription.

This could decrease accessibility and lower underage marijuana use.

There also needs to be stricter policies regarding marijuana use on college campuses.

Any campus can say they restrict it, but campuses need to monitor and restrict drug use on campus.

Campus police should ask drug users for identification and proof of prescription when they see a student use marijuana on campus.

The legalization of marijuana can benefit many people, but if regulations remain this loose, it could corrupt the chances of legalization in other states.

Colorado needs to be more responsible and show the rest of the country that this change can work.

MIND THE GAP

STD stigmatization is dangerous and damaging I’ve seen the bit several times at open mics and IU comedy shows.

Comedian Jordan MatherLicht jokes about a trip to Planned Parenthood and an STD scare that, thankfully, is just a scare.

The bit consistently scores laughs from the audience but not before we all have a big ol’ gasp.

Sex? Planned Parenthood?

Sexually transmitted diseases? How shocking!

What’s truly shocking is that more people don’t get tested.

The average American has had multiple partners.

Women claim about four and men claim six to eight in their lifetimes.

With those partners we’re likely to go without or misuse protection.

The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction reports that singles use condoms only 33 percent of the time during vaginal penetration.

And when condoms are used, they are too often used improperly.

Users don’t leave space

at the tip, fail to use a new condom in between sex acts or simply forget to put a condom on before they start having sex.

The average American first has sex by age 17, according to the Guttmacher Institute.

The average American lives to be about 78 years old, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

With an optimistic 67 years of furiously unsafe lovemaking to catch something, we best be going to Planned Parenthood on the regular.

Half of all Americans contract some sort of sexually transmitted disease or infection in the course of their lives.

Getting tested is an uncomfortable prospect because societal expectations do not match reality.

Most of us won’t wait until we’re married to have sex.

Most of us will have multiple partners.

And most of us will misuse contraception on at least one occasion.

For many of us, who are products of federally funded

abstinence-only sex education programs, that failure to live up to expectations embarrasses us.

We’re less likely to seek medical attention and more likely to feel bad about our sexuality.

Getting tested shouldn’t be a big deal, and it doesn’t have to be. Make it part of your routine.

Add STD testing to yearly gynecological exams, a sports physical or a check-up.

I got tested the last time I renewed my birth control prescription.

Insurance will often cover the cost.

If you don’t have insurance, many family planning clinics such as Planned Parenthood or Futures Family Planning have sliding scales that make tests more affordable.

If yearly tests prove too costly or annoying, Planned Parenthood has an online tool that can help assess whether or not you should get tested soon.

You can find it at plannedparenthood.org/all-access/ check.

CASEY FARRINGTON is a senior in political science.

When the tests come back negative, it’s a relief.

When the tests come back positive, it’s not the end of the world.

Some of the most common STDs are easily cured, such as chlamydia and gonorrhea.

Even highly stigmatized infections such as herpes are manageable with drugs and behavioral changes.

An HIV diagnosis is no longer a death sentence but rather a chance to reduce the virus’ health effects and stem its spread.

People who contract STDs aren’t dirty or morally bankrupt. They’re just unlucky, at worst a little irresponsible and usually fine in the end.

Stop stigmatizing STDs and STD testing. The next time someone tells you they got tested, hold the gasps — it’s time for a round of applause.

Taylor Swift decided not to stream.

When her new record was released recently, her label, Big Machine Label Group, pulled all of her songs from the popular music streaming site Spotify.

Spotify, along with millions of Swift’s fans, were completely surprised.

The reaction to the pull is an example of how the music market has changed with our generation, and how it has positively and negatively affected artists.

We feel we have the right to listen to these works cheaply. We, the consumers, are often at the core of how these works are promoted.

As far as I’m concerned, we need to respect Swift’s decision. It was a business decision, not a personal one, and at the end of the day, she needs to make money, too.

The reaction to this business decision shows the entitlement our generation has toward music. We want to listen to any song anywhere at any time. We like instant gratification.

Through the use of social media, we do the marketing for music at no cost to the labels.

If you have a hard time believing this, simply log on to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and search for the hashtag “1989.” Thousands of posts will appear.

Swift’s fans even did much of the marketing for her successful album.

This explains why fans might feel ripped off when they can no longer stream her music.

Our generation is the first to listen to music primarily through electronic sources.

Our generation is also one of the first to have ready and easy access to free music and music streaming services.

We rarely go to stores and buy physical albums anymore.

Despite all the incredible music that has been released in 2014, not one artist has managed to go platinum.

However, it was forecast that Swift’s new album would sell 1.3 million copies in the first week.

So far, her numbers are proving this to be true.

The immediate success could be attributed to smart marketing decisions, such as the elimination of the album on streaming sites.

When I could no longer stream my favorite Taylor Swift songs and I was itching to hear her new music, I did something I haven’t done in two years.

I purchased a full album of music.

I might have been one of thousands to purchase Swift’s music as a result of the absence.

We have to understand that although music contributes to all aspects of our lives, it is created to make money.

That is exactly what Swift’s album was created to do, and pulling her music from streaming sites has probably made her millions of dollars.

Swift’s label wanted to make money and break records.

If pulling her music from Spotify helps accomplish that goal, then good for them. eshrack@indiana.edu

WHIZZES AND BANGS

Where feminism failed Men and women alike brush feminism aside as a dusty old relic that is only relevant to the bra-burning man-haters of years gone by.

But feminism is still very much an issue throughout all parts of the world. There is a huge equality gap between men and women, no matter where in the world you choose to cast your gaze.

In places such as the United States, the inequality manifests itself most clearly within the professional world. Women are paid less for performing the very same tasks as men and they are significantly less likely to be in positions of power.

And then there are many places where women lack basic human rights and are treated as less than secondclass citizens. The reasons to advocate for feminism are everywhere. All you have to do is take off those rosecolored glasses and really look at the world for what it is: a world rife with gender inequality.

Recently in the U.K., politicians and celebrities have been photographed wearing T-shirts printed with the slogan “This is what a feminist looks like” in order to support the Fawcett Society, a women’s activism group.

All profits made from these T-shirts support the Fawcett Society.

The message emblazoned on the T-shirt shows that anyone (women, men, aliens) can be a feminist and care about the issues that create the equality gap between men and women.

However, according to a

Jordan River Forum

TRACY JOHNSON is a senior in English.

report from the Daily Mail, the shirt was actually made by women in a sweatshop on the island of Mauritius.

These women are being paid 99 cents per hour, which is far below the minimum wage requirement on the island. These women sleep in a small and crowded room with 15 other women, according to the report.

The T-shirts cost only $14.39 to produce, but they are being sold at the whopping price of $71.95, just so the company can squeeze out every last penny, all in the name of feminism.

Women are exploited in the name of feminism. That is the current state of affairs.

The understanding of feminism and women’s rights issues are so convoluted that somehow it has come to be that simply by purchasing a T-shirt that hails feminism and supports equality you are also exploiting hundreds of women in a sweatshop on an island somewhere.

We need to clear the air and start talking about the elephant (read: feminist) in the room.

Feminism is not an irrelevant issue. There are thousands upon thousands of women who are exploited, and that won’t change until we stop brushing the issue aside and start talking. johnstra@indiana.edu

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Stem cell research and abortion are problematic An individual’s life is a continuum. If there is anything after death, I don’t know, but when does life begin? At conception?

At birth? This seems to be the crux of the problem regarding both embryonic stem cell research and abortion.

On the most basic level, what distinguishes one individual from another? I think most would agree that, biologically, each of us is

defined by our genetic code — our DNA. So, perhaps the question should be when does an individual’s DNA first appear? The answer is that each person’s DNA is formed when the egg is fertilized at conception.

If, in addition, life is defined as self-generated action, then it’s clear that the embryo represents an individual life. There are no little fingers in the mother’s womb sculpting a being out

of clay. The mother provides the environment and the materials (food, oxygen) from which the embryo creates itself.

It makes no sense to argue that, since the embryo is not physically apart, it is not a separate entity. A newborn child is just a dependent on others for survival; it is only the way that it acquires the food and air it needs that is different.

Of course women have

ALL RILED UP

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Cat got your tongue?

Living red in a blue state

CNN recently conducted a panel discussing the viral catcalling video made by the marketing group Hollaback. The discussion between panelists Amanda Seales and Steve Santagati was disappointingly, and yet not shockingly, sexist.

The video the panel discusses shows one woman walking on the streets of New York and documents the number of catcalls and aggressive behavior exhibited by men she passes.

The female panelist, a large number of commenters on the original video and pretty much any woman you talk to can attest to this type of behavior being accurate in its representation of daily street harassment.

Santagati’s response to this video was an excellent representation of everything men do not understand about this issue.

He said women enjoy it, it is meant as a compliment and women who don’t like it should respond aggressively. He also managed to throw in some negative sexist stereotypes and described all men as leering and sexually aggressive with no desire or ability to change. So all in all, he went above and beyond in representing his ignorant and yet far too common view of catcalling.

Catcalling is not a cultural phenomenon of certain “classless” groups. Men from every group can be street harassers.

The common characteristic of street harassers is their view of women. It was racist and classist of him to suggest it was solely based on parenting and overpopulation of certain demographics. Here is the truth for anyone still sharing Santagati’s delusion: women don’t walk down the street with the purpose of being thought of as pretty.

Women actually have daily lives, in which they go to work, the grocery store and school, all without the purpose of being thought of as pretty.

Telling a woman she is pretty is not the biggest compliment you can give her. And to assume it is implies that pretty is the only thing a woman wishes to be or is capable of being.

This is not to say some women do not choose to put effort into their appearance, and it is not to shame those women who do desire to be pretty. But there is a difference between the desire to be thought of as

JORDAN RILEY is a junior in comparative literature.

attractive and the reality of ownership that street harassers assume of the women’s bodies in public.

If the purpose of these remarks were to make women feel good about themselves, there would be no purpose to continuing and defending these actions once a woman says that instead of making her feel good, it actually makes her feel incredibly unsafe in public spaces.

The truth is it is not meant as a compliment.

The insistence of someone’s “right” to catcall actually tells me it is men defending an activity that secures public space as predominately male. This is clear when Santagati said if women don’t like it, they should leave New York.

Catcalling women is a subtle but effective way of letting women know they do not serve a purpose in the public space other than to be visually appealing to the one harassing them. It is an attempt to force unasked approval on women, implying they need male validation to exist in the public sphere.

The scariest part is when women fight back, as Santagati suggests, and reject the validation. It can get violent. As Seales pointed out, women have been killed for defending themselves against this verbal abuse. This is why most women stay silent and move quickly when strangers yell at them. And, predictably, Santagati’s response is to reply that not enough women have been killed for it to truly matter.

Women shouldn’t have to “get a gun” to walk down the street. They have every right to be in a public space as men do.

Women shouldn’t get killed when protecting that right. Men who see this as “crying wolf” are protecting dominance of an aggressive faction in public.

Not all men perpetuate this harmful structure, but all women experience the demeaning and sometimes life-threatening effects. Everyone with respect for human decency should recognize that street harassment goes too far, and it needs to stop. jordrile@indiana.edu

Once again, Americans will go to the polls on Nov. 4 to decide their fearless leaders for the next two years.

While the current drama is whether our party will be able to pick up six Senate seats, we would like to talk about issues that are far more pertinent to the students on this campus. And that would be the goings-on in Monroe County.

It is no secret that both Bloomington and Monroe County have been the near exclusive province of the opposition for a number of decades.

However, the Democrats’ leading man, President Barack Obama, has seen

a number of his signature policies backfire, and has borne witness to the resurgence of regional bullies such as Vladimir Putin in Russia, terrorist groups such as the Islamic State and a biological threat that has reemerged with a vengeance.

While the Administration’s policy has been increasingly feckless, it cannot be forgotten that this is not a unique phenomenon.

At the top of the ballot is Todd Young, who we seek to return to Washington to continue to fight against destructive policies such as Obamacare, the DoddFrank financial “reform” laws, and the incompetent

foreign policy coming out of Washington. Even Hillary Clinton, who herself contributed to the mess that is the White House, admitted “Great nations need organizing principles, and ‘don’t do stupid stuff ’ is not an organizing principle.”

But on a local scale, the systematic one-party control of the power structure here has left almost all those involved complacent. Monroe County’s Democrats have systematically abused their power and conducted Nixonian-style cover-ups.

For example, the incumbent assessor Judy Sharp lost a state appeal over the valuation of The Fields apartment

the right to choose what to do with their own bodies, but that right does not extend to destroying the life of another for mere convenience. There are no special women’s rights (or men’s rights, black rights, white rights, etc). Only the individual possesses rights — the most basic of these being the right to life.

Where is the outrage over the county losing this kind of money? Nowhere.

Our slate of candidates, Judge Ken Todd running for reelection, Officer Steve Hale running for Sheriff and Mr. William Ellis running for assessor are all sterling candidates with long histories of integrity and will introduce a semblance of checks and balances into a municipal government run amok. This may be a difficult place to be a Republican, but checks and balances are necessary for good governance.

Response: Voter turnout expected to remain low On Friday, Oct. 24, the Indiana Daily Student printed a story about predicted voter turnout in this year’s midterm elections.

The headline for this story was “Voter Turnout expected to remain low for midterms.” While it is true that midterm elections have historically had lower voter turnout, and that the 18-24 age group has the lowest, this article failed to

discuss what is at stake in this election for that very group.

Those between the ages of 18 and 24 have distinct and important interests that will impact their well-being throughout their lives.

For example, while all age groups have the ability to understand that student loans and climate change are major issues, those between the ages of 18 and 24 will be dealing with these

problems much longer than other older voting blocks.

Students have a unique ability to effect change.

We are seeing that right now in Hong Kong, where students are tirelessly leading a pro-democracy movement that has gone on for weeks.

Young people have a new, fresh and modern outlook on the world.

Our perspective is

valuable, even necessary, as it will one day be the reigning perspective.

As students, we lead very fast, busy lives in which we are being pulled in too many directions to count.

But I hope that you will consider the impact you can make and take a few minutes this next week to vote.

Why are we spending money on death row?

On Sept. 11, 2001, two passenger airplanes were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center.

Nearly 3,000 people died that day.

Al-Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden took responsibility for initiating the attacks.

On April 29, 2011, President Obama gave the U.S. Special Forces the order to raid bin Laden’s compound and kill him.

It would be a hard task to find someone in the U.S., who does not believe the killing of Osama bin Laden was justified, but there are many who believe that the death penalty is not a justifiable sentence.

It is inscribed in our human nature that when we are ill-treated, we seek retribution.

Why is it that so many object to the death penalty, but so few object war?

Ideally, if a person is against the death penalty, they should also object to war.

Naci Mocan is a professor at the University of Colorado; he conducted studies on the effects of the death penalty on crime deterrence.

Mocan found that each time a prisoner is executed, an average of 18 murderers are deterred.

He also found that for every 2.75 years cut from an

inmate’s time spend on death row, one murder would be prevented.

In order to house one inmate in a federal prison, it costs the government $50,000 per year.

With more than 16 million children in the U.S. living in poverty, surely we could put the money to better use.

Man arrested following altercation From IDS reports

Elijah Berry, 31, was arrested early Tuesday morning on preliminary charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Bloomington police said his five children and a woman were also inside the vehicle.

Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Joe Crider said Berry was arrested on other preliminary charges, including leaving the scene of an accident, driving on a suspended license as well as battery and strangulation.

Berry was also cited for not having proof of insurance. He was arrested at about 1:15 a.m.

He was driving in his

2000 gold Lincoln Town Car. BPD officers responded at about 6:54 p.m. Tuesday to the 1200 block of South Rogers Street in reference to an accident in which the operator of the vehicle had left the scene of the accident prior to the first responders’ arrival.

A witness told officers Berry was driving east on Patterson Drive near South Rogers Street when the witness observed Berry’s vehicle disregard a traffic light at the intersection of Rogers Drive and Patterson Street.

The town car then drove south in the northbound lane to pass a vehicle, crossing left of center. The vehicle returned to the southbound lane, struck a curb, ran off

the roadway, flipping once and landing upright on its tires, Crider said.

The witness told officers the vehicle then returned to the road and continued along South Rogers Street at a high rate of speed.

The witness followed the vehicle to Berry’s apartment complex also on South Rockport Road, where he reportedly observed Berry and a woman arguing outside.

Police later received a report that Berry and the female had gotten into a physical altercation.

Berry reportedly became upset with the female, grabbed her by her neck and pushed her up against a wall, causing a complaint of

pain and impairing her ability to breathe, Crider said.

When questioned, Berry said he had taken his five children to a friend’s house, where he had been drinking alcohol but he did not admit how much. A responding officer reported the smell of alcohol on Berry’s person.

Berry also admitted to being the operator of the vehicle.

One child had a complaint of pain from the car accident but did not sustain any injuries requiring a visit to the hospital. Following his arrest, Berry was remanded to the Monroe County Jail.

The regular season will come to a close Wednesday for the IU men’s soccer team when it plays No. 21 Michigan State (9-4-4, 3-2-2) at Bill Armstrong Stadium.

The No. 2 Hoosiers (11-2-4, 3-2-2) will honor their seniors before the game for senior night.

“It’s exciting, I mean it’s cool that they honor the seniors,” senior defender Patrick Doody said.

IU Coach Todd Yeagley said this year’s seniors brought a lot to the IU program, including being a large part of the 2012 national championship.

“They’ve meant a lot,” Yeagley said. “They’ve done a great job with their leadership.

I think they’ve set a new standard on how to be great teammates, and that I think is a real positive of this group. I’m really proud of what they’ve done.”

The game also has implications as to where the Hoosiers will be playing in the first round of the Big Ten tournament. Depending on what happens in several other games, the Hoosiers could finish anywhere from second to seventh in the nine-team Big Ten. If IU finishes in the top four it will host a first-round matchup.

“Any time we can play at our field, it’s big deal,” Doody said. “This game has implications for the Big Ten tournament, it has implications for the NCAA tournament, it’s just a huge match, and we have to come out ready.”

Yeagley said his team isn’t worried about where they play, saying every team is a challenge and that he believes the Big Ten is the best soccer conference in the nation.

“Certainly travel-wise it’s nice,” Yeagley said. “But we’ve done what very few IU teams have ever done, and that’s go undefeated on the road. This

NO. 2 IU (11-2-4, 3-2-2) vs. Michigan State (9-4-4, 3-2-2) 6 p.m. today, Bill Armstrong Stadium team is not intimidated on the road.”

After finishing in a tie against last-place Wisconsin on Saturday, the players are ready to get back on track.

“We need to get our mojo back,” Doody said. “We haven’t really had too many off games.

If we can regroup and play like we did a few Wednesdays ago against Notre Dame, I think it’ll be a good night.”

Doody said the key to a victory will be increasing pressure on the Spartans.

“We just need to pressure hard,” Doody said. “I think that’s what helped Michigan get a result (against MSU) was their pressure. Our pressure Saturday night was not what it needs to be. We’ve set a standard and we have to match that for us to be successful.”

Yeagley said his team needs to be sharp in and around the box on both sides of the field.

“They have two high end midfielders, two box to box guys that really make them go,” Yeagley said. “Michigan State is as balanced as there is in the country. This is one of the best teams I’ve seen there in a long time, and we have to be really good.

“Michigan State is a championship-caliber team.

They’re good.”

Players seemed excited and very aware of what the game means — and the importance of carrying over strong play into the conference tournament, where Doody hopes to get another crack at Maryland.

“I think (Michigan State) is one of the best teams in the conference,” Doody said. “It’s always a good game against them. It’ll be a very tough game.”

Coors Light and Bud Light bottles filled the hands of watch party-goers, who wore blue and gold stickers in support of Secretary of State candidate Connie Lawson.

At the beginning of the evening, camera crews were set up and drinks were being served at the bar at the Indiana Republican Party headquarters.

Two large televisions were showing elections results in the room, one of them tuned to CNN and another, on the other side of the room, tuned to Fox News.

Joe Dutra, a veteran of the United States Navy, was in attendance at the Republican watch party.

Originally from Massachusetts, Dutra moved to Indiana less than two years ago, making this his first election in the new state.

Bearing the blue and gold Connie Lawson sticker, Dutra attended the watch party to experience his party’s presence in Indiana.

“The state government seems to run more efficient here,” Dutra said.

He claims the state and property taxes are lower than in Massachusetts and that there’s a better quality of life.

Isabella Billingsley, while sharing the same sentiment for the party, didn’t have the age and experience that Dutra does.

Glued to the media action unfolding before her, Isabella’s mother, Cindy, claimed the 8-year-old didn’t want to miss a thing.

She was at the party “to see who wins.”

Lawson delivers her victory speech surrounded by supporters.

Dorothy Kouroupis, another Lawson supporter, was at the event to “get around some good energy” and to see which conservatives, if any, would win.

She was also excited to be at the event because it was “one day closer to a new presidential election.”

Early in the evening, Governor Mike Pence said he was confident the night’s outcome would be positive.

“I think tonight’s gonna be a great night for Indiana and a good night for America,” Gov. Pence said.

That positive attitude carried over to the many people watching the results come in.

“I’m a Republican, always have been,” Lawren Mills, a lobbyist and a lawyer in Indianapolis, said.

Conservative themes such as “small government” and “fiscal responsibility” were instilled in her through the generations before her, she said.

“Those are very important values and it’s not hard to go to bed every night dreaming about that,” Mills said.

Later in the night, the victory speeches began.

Pence addressed the crowd, rallying them before Lawson was introduced.

Two weeks ago, Lawson called out Democratic challenger Beth White for not having financial disclosure information on her postcardsized campaign materials.

Tuesday evening, she was standing at the podium, victorious, having won the race with 57 percent of the vote.

Lawson thanked her family and campaign team among others and, by this point, the blue, yellow and white balloons of victory had floated down from the rafters of the headquarters.

Lawson said her goals included protecting seniors, educating high school students about financial literacy and working with businesses.

“On day one, we know what we need to do,” Lawson said.

After the speeches, mingling took back up in the room and the politicians spoke with constituents.

The tip jar at the bar was full of cash.

Come see us TODAY at the HOUSING

As Republicans swept the statewide ballot Tuesday night, Indiana Democrats stood by their candidates and campaign motto: “We can do better.”

With 40 percent of the vote, Secretary of State candidate Beth White accepted her defeat to Connie Lawson at the Westin Hotel in Indianapolis, hugging her 5-year-old son Nathaniel before taking the stage.

“Politics is the art of the possible,” White said. “It is possible to solve the problems the state of Indiana has. I wanted to be your Secretary of State.”

About two weeks leading up to the election, White was called out by the Indiana Republican Party for not having a financial disclaimer on certain campaign literature, a felony in the state.

White called it a “very small clerical mistake” and said she hadn’t anticipated an adverse effect on votes.

Earlier in the day Tuesday, White juggled her last push for votes with her current role as Marion County clerk, making sure all of the polling was smooth.

“I’ve essentially been doing two full-time jobs for about a year now,” she said.

“It’s been hard.”

She said she had noticed a lack of energy from voters for this election up until about two weeks ago, when momentum started to ramp up.

White added that she felt hopeful for a win Tues-

day night, but knew it could go either way.

“Indiana is a tough state for a Democrat,” she said. “I think we did a lot of good.

We started a conversation people cared about.”

Indiana Democratic candidates and constituents alike, a crowd totaling more than 200, gathered at the Westin Hotel in downtown Indianapolis in anticipation as the voting results poured in.

They sipped on bottled beer and shook hands with old friends, wearing stickers and buttons supporting local judge, sheriff and congressman candidates. One group carried signs reading, “Say yes to Progress.

We can do better.”

At about 7:30 p.m., Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz and Sen. Joe Donnelly spoke to the crowd, thanking them for their support.

Matt Tandy of Indianapolis was one of the earlier constituents to arrive Tuesday night, along with his son Matthew, a fourth

grader at Fishback Creek Elementary.

Since Matthew’s school was a polling place today, his dad encouraged him to come along.

He said he didn’t really like it at first, but as more people started showing up, it got more exciting.

“I like kind of getting to see the numbers adding up,” Matthew said.

Ron Tolan, a Democrat from Indianapolis, wore a T-shirt supporting John Layton, who was reelected as Marion County sheriff. He said he praised White’s support of marriage equality in the state.

“Since I’m gay, I’m all for that.”

As the night came to a close, White said she was not sure if she would run again. Tuesday night, her only plans were to spend some time with her husband and son.

“There is no shame in losing,” she said. “There’s only shame in refusing to play.”

KINSEY CONFIDENTIAL

Researcher discusses common misconceptions about penis size I am 20 years old but my penis is small, what shall I do?

By the time most men are 20, they already have their full adult penis size, so it’s very likely that it’s the case for you, too. I am not sure what you mean by having a small penis size, though, as I’ve found that many of the college students I teach have a misperception about penis size.

Why do men so often have misperceptions about penis size? First of all, it’s very common for men in porn to have a penis larger than average. Even if their penis is fairly average in

size, sometimes the camera angles can make a man’s penis look very large.

Second, some websites and emails that advertise penis enlargement herbs or pills make false claims about the average penis size. I’ve seen some advertisements that claim the average penis size is 7 inches, and that is simply not true.

Most scientific studies that assess penis size find that the average penis is about 5 to 6 inches long.

Some studies have found an average of about 5.2 inches, and others have found an average of about 5.4 or 5.8 inches long. In a study that

my research team conducted that involved more than 1,600 men, we found an average erect length of just under 5.6 inches long. So, the studies vary but most are right around there in terms of length.

Penis size varies, but in a pretty limited range. Yes, some men have a larger penis length around 6 or 7 or 8 inches, or even longer, but the longer ones are pretty rare.

And yes, some men have a penis around 3 or 4 inches long, but it’s fairly uncommon to be only 1 or 2 inches long when erect.

Men who have a penis

around an inch or so long when erect sometimes decide that it’s just the way they are built, and they focus on learning a range of sexual techniques, such as performing oral sex or pleasuring a partner with their fingers so that they have a number of ways to please a partner. This is good advice for men of any penis size, though, since sex isn’t just about penis size or intercourse and some of my own research shows that sexual variety is linked to orgasm.

Other times men whose penis is an inch or 2 long when erect may decide to seek treatment from a

doctor, such as a urologist.

Although penile lengthening surgeries are uncommon, primarily because they carry some risks, including painful erections or scar tissue, they are sometimes done for men and they can be effective. If that interests you, you might talk with a health care provider.

Most men have a penis size that can absolutely be used to pleasure and satisfy a partner. The more men can relax and feel comfortable with their bodies, the more likely their penis will be able to fill with blood during arousal so they can reach their full erect length.

Also, the greater comfort they feel the more likely they will be to relax into sex and be present with their partner, noticing what their partner does or doesn’t like, and responding with care and attention.

Debby Herbenick, Ph.D., is a research fellow and sexual health educator at IU’s Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction. She is the author of five books about sex, including “Sex Made Easy: Your Awkward Questions Answered for Better, Smarter, Amazing Sex.” Check it out online at KinseyConfidential.org.

Women’s soccer player honored by Big Ten Marissa Borschke of IU women’s soccer was named the team’s Sportsmanship Award honoree, the Big Ten Conference announced Tuesday.

The redshirt sophomore defender played in all 19 games this season, making 18 starts.

Borschke was part of a Hoosier defense that held opponents to 25 goals this season, the fewest since 2009.

The student athlete recipients are chosen for exceptional sportsmanship and ethical behavior.

THE SPORTS S’TORI

Hoosier defense getting better

One of sports’ greatest weeks

By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen

TORI ZIEGE is a sophomore in journalism.

By most measures, the IU defense has improved under first-year defensive coordinator Brian Knorr.

But just barely.

The Hoosiers are no longer in the basement cellar of the Big Ten in scoring defense. That recognition goes to Illinois.

But IU’s defense, despite various improvements, has mostly remained the same.

IU is allowing 34.8 points and 445.4 total yards per game, both second worst in the Big Ten. The Hoosiers have made noticeable strides in rush defense and in defensive third-down efficiency, but the points given up have remained mostly the same.

It’s improvement, nevertheless. And improvement is exactly what Knorr and IU Coach Kevin Wilson wanted this year.

“Coach Wilson always talks about continuous improvement,” Knorr said.

“That’s what we’re trying to see not only as a defense, but each position group, segments, player by player.”

To Knorr, it breaks down to a simple question: “As a defense, are we getting better?”

Struggles in the red zone When opponents get into the red zone against IU, they leave with points.

In 31 defensive stands in the red zone, IU has allowed 31 scores amounting to 156 points through eight games.

IU has allowed 21 total touchdowns (11 passing, 10 rushing) and 10 field goals.

The Hoosiers are the only team of 125 FBS programs without a defensive stop in the red zone this season.

Call it Hoosier hospitality.

For comparison, the best red zone defense in the country, Mississippi State, has only allowed opponents to score on 57.1 percent of red zone trips.

Last season, IU was ranked 96th in the country allowing opponents to score 86 percent of the time.

“Our red zone defense,

we got to get some stops,” Wilson said. “Red zone defense has to be more consistent.”

Senior safety Mark Murphy said the red zone gets treated a little differently on a given drive.

The defense tightens and emphasizes staying in front of the goal line, but to him, it’s mostly been a matter of needing a better attitude in the red zone.

IU better on third down In a 2013 season characterized by struggles on defense, third-down defense stood out as a major reason for IU’s inability to keep opponents off the field.

Last year, the Hoosiers allowed opponents to convert on 46.2 percent of thirddown opportunities, which ranked 114th in the nation.

When the defense can’t get off the field, the offense has no opportunity to score points.

It’s been a reoccurring problem in recent years for IU. Inabilities on third down have taken the bulk of the blame for IU having one of the Big Ten’s worst defenses.

That has largely changed this season.

IU ranks 51st in the nation this year with an opponent’s third-down conversion rate of just 37.7 percent.

“It’s definitely gotten

SWIM AND DIVE

IU swimmer, diver honored by conference From IDS reports

IU sophomore Anze Tavcar is the Big Ten Swimmer of the Week, and sophomore Michael Hixon is the Big Ten Diver of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday.

This is Tavcar’s second time being honored in three meets this season.

He swept the 50-yard, 100-yard and 200-yard freestyle events in IU’s wins versus Tennessee and Kentucky on Friday.

Tavcar posted NCAA provisional times in the all three races. His time of 1:36.08 in the 200-free is the best in the nation.

The sophomore from Celje, Slovenia, is ranked second in the 100-free with a time of 43.69 and 10th in the 50-free with a time of 20.10 on the NCAA top times list.

He was also part of the Hoosiers’ win in the 400yard freestyle relay on Friday.

Hixon earns his secondconsecutive Big Ten Diver of the Week honor. After sweeping the diving events Friday, he has now won all four of his most recent events.

On the 1-meter, Hixon scored a 417.7 and on the 3-meter, a 414.75. Both

better,” sophomore safety Antonio Allen said.

Rush defense improving IU’s run defense was fully exposed by Navy in 2013 when the Midshipmen ran nearly at will against IU, accumulating 444 yards on the ground.

The inability to stop the run became a trend last season.

The Hoosiers gave up 237.9 yards per game, second worst in the Big Ten. IU has cut that number by 67.3 yards per game this season, jumping to 10th in the Big Ten. Murphy credited IU’s improvement to an emphasis on being able to stop the run this season.

“It’s always a work in progress,” Murphy said.

“But it definitely has gotten better and that’s something we’ve been focusing on this year is you have to stop the run so you can stop everything else.”

Turnovers still an issue All season, the defense has stressed turnovers, but the interceptions and fumble recoveries haven’t been coming as often as IU would like.

The Hoosiers had three plays against Michigan where a player was in position to make an intercep-

tion. Only one was made by freshman safety Chase Dutra, but the following drive didn’t amount to points.

“We didn’t get it done as far as capitalizing on possible interceptions,” Knorr said.

Part of the problem, Knorr said, was a lack of pressure on the opposing quarterback.

There were times throughout Saturday’s loss that Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner was able to get the ball out of his hands within two seconds.

Other times, he had more than enough time to wait in the pocket for receivers to get open.

IU only has seven turnovers thus far this season after creating 17 last year.

Dutra said it is frustrating to not always get the turnovers when IU is in position to make plays but said the fact that IU is in position to make those plays is promising.

IU spent Sunday’s practice simulating chances to make interceptions in order to possibly create points off defensive plays.

“We still have to have more consistency,” Knorr said. “We need to see not only the young guys, and you’re going to see the most improvement by them, but the older guys, too.”

The IU football team misses its throwing arm.

These past two games, the offense has racked up a total of 35 passing yards.

And no, there isn’t a zero missing from that stat.

Thankfully, the national stage provides plenty of spectacular arms to curb IU fans’ aerial appetite.

Two of the best arms were on hand this past Sunday in the form of quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.

Though they never take the field at the same time, there isn’t a better rivalry in this decade than Manning versus Brady: No. 2 versus No. 5 in all-time passing yards.

Manning has the record for most touchdowns scored with 515, Brady for most Super Bowl rings by an active NFL quarterback with three.

But it’s Brady who wins the most pivotal stat when it comes to these two perennial passing powerhouses.

He now leads the headto-head series 11 wins to five, besting the best regular season quarterback in their last four regular season match-ups.

But I’m not here to argue which is better. Manning versus Brady is the best debate precisely because it can never be decided.

It is the eternal quarterback controversy.

It is unicorns, it is show ponies, it is ... Ben Roethlisberger.

Ben Roethlisberger?

If historic rivalries aren’t your thing, then the Pittsburgh quarterback arm wrestled his way into quarterback conversation to entertain you Sunday night.

Big Ben threw for six touchdowns against his teams’ rival Baltimore Ravens to set the NFL record

of 12 touchdowns in two games.

Forget the year of the quarterback. The NFL is well on its way to the halfcentury marker.

I’m not twisting your arm. The throwing motion is as important as any in all of sports.

Just ask the San Francisco Giants: winners of three of the last five World Series, unquestionably a dynasty.

And their most recent championship doesn’t happen without ace Madison Bumgarner.

His tireless arm pitched five scoreless innings on two game’s rest to win the Fall Classic, giving him an MLB World Series ERA of .25, a record low.

In 145 years of Major League Baseball, it is the most dominant performance by a postseason pitcher.

There’s no denying it — Hoosier fans haven’t seen their fair share of good throws lately. And there’s no telling when those struggles will end.

But if there’s one person we can take a lesson from when it comes to perseverance, it’s Mt. Saint Joseph freshman Lauren Hill.

Strong arm, stronger heart, Hill, a terminally ill cancer patient, made her teams’ first shot against the University of Cincinnati on Sunday.

Colleges, coaches, teammates and family stood arm in arm to help Hill achieve her dream of playing college basketball, moving up the seasons’ start date in the hopes that she would feel well enough to play.

She did, scoring four points in the contest.

Though it might have been a rough few days in Bloomington, it was a record-setting week to recognize some of the greatest arms, and moments, in sports.

I’d give an arm and a leg to see it again. vziege@indiana.edu

VOLLEYBALL

Freshman sees early success high school team, as she was too busy competing internationally for her home country Canada.

In 2013, Goss was sixth in the 200-freestyle at the Junior World Championships. She medaled in sixth different events at the Canada Games and was a bronze-medalist in the 100-backstroke at the National Championships.

Just three meets into her college career, those winning ways have remained.

Goss was first in the 100, 200 and 500-yard freestyle races last Friday in IU’s win against Kentucky and Tennessee.

She was also part of the Hoosiers’ winning 400-yard freestyle relay team.

Her peraformance earned her Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors for the second time in three meets this season.

For freshman Kennedy Goss, swimming runs in the family.

Her dad, Sandy Goss, was a two-time Olympian in 1984 and 1988, winning silver in the 400-medley relay.

Goss’ mom, Judy, swam in college. Judy attended Southern Methodist University, and Sandy was an NCAA Champion at Florida.

When Goss was introduced to the sport at a young age, it just stuck, she said.

Her reason for quitting all other sports to pursue swimming was simple.

“I was just better at swimming,” Goss said.

Now a freshman at IU, Goss is no stranger to competing against the best competition the world has to offer.

She didn’t compete for a

ter than she expected to, especially having to adjust from meter-length pools to yards.

“I was really surprised,” she said. “This is my first time swimming yards so I’m still getting used to it.”

One thing she’s had almost no trouble adjusting to is being far from home. IU Coach Ray Looze has had success in consistently recruiting swimmers from Canada.

Goss is one of three Canadians on the team now, including junior Brooklynn Snodgrass and senior Cynthia Pammett. Snodgrass is the reigning Big Ten Champion in the 100- and 200-yard backstroke. She became IU’s second-ever NCAA Champion as a sophomore last season.

Canadians Bronwyn Pasloski and Brenna MacLean graduated after last season, but Pasloski still trains at IU. These are swimmers Goss

competed with before college and being around them has made the transition much easier, she said.

“The first two weeks were a little intimidating, but you met your team and they were so supportive,” Goss said. “I’ve always looked up to Brooklynn. She’s accomplished so much.”

Even last December, nearly a year ago, Looze had pegged Goss as a front-runner in his 2014 recruiting class.

Goss made recruiting trips to Arizona, North Carolina and Alabama, too, but said she was most comfortable at IU. Looze now describes Goss as humble, quiet and unassuming.

“In a way, its not too surprising, but she’s really been acting like a veteran early on,” Looze said. “She’s a pretty impressive freshman. This is just the beginning hopefully.”

WENSI WANG | IDS

Sophomore Taylor Lebo goes up to block a spike during IU’s match against Wisconsin on Saturday at University Gym. The Hoosiers lost 3-0 to the Badgers.

Hoosiers to play Hawkeyes tonight IU has a chance to do something tonight that will prove just how far the program has come this season.

If IU (14-10, 5-7) beats Iowa (11-12, 3-9) tonight in Iowa City, Iowa, it will secure its sixth Big Ten win of the season.

During the past three seasons, ever since the team’s Sweet 16 run in 2010, the Hoosiers have struggled.

IU has gone 6-54 in the Big Ten, a winning percentage of just .100, and been near the bottom of the standings for the entirety of those three years.

If the Hoosiers knock off Iowa tonight, they would have as many conference wins during this season than they have had food. Make a discovery by accident.
