The king of Kirkwood Local UPS driver has been delivering packages for 36 years By Ty Vinson vinsonjo@iu.edu | @ty_vinson_

After 186 stops through Bloomington within 12 hours, Orlando Driver’s day is finished. First, the high-priority packages, then the larger ones, then it’s a free-for-all. It has been his routine for 36 years and counting. Driver is a UPS delivery man. At 60 years-old, he walks Kirkwood Avenue nearly every day making deliveries. Over the years, some of the business owners he’s gotten to know have left, but Driver is still here. “He really is the king of Kirkwood,” said Jay Wilkin, general manager of Tracks Music and Videos. “He knows what’s up.” Being able to get out and see the same people for the last 15 to 20

years has been the best part of his job, Driver said. IU students whose parents were around when Driver first started his job have come up to him, saying their parents have talked about him and how nice he was. Wilkin has known Driver for nearly 24 years. He’d come into Tracks with packages and stick around to talk about ball games and complain. "He's kind of like President Trump, but not in a demonic way," Wilkin said. "He’s a little out there, but people like that about him." Wilkin reminisced on a time when Driver helped a business owner down the street from Tracks. The man would chase Driver down the street, making sure he got his packages every day, and Driver was still accommodating.

“He’s the happiest complainer I know,” Wilkin said. “He survives on his niceness, plus he does the job.” Driver grew up in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and came to Bloomington to babysit his younger cousins for a summer. He still remembers the day he arrived in Bloomington, June 6, 1973. After spending a summer here, Driver chose to stay. He enjoyed how easygoing Bloomington residents were in the early 1970s. “It was like Camelot,” Driver said. “Everything was smooth.” After graduating from Bloomington High School North and deciding not to go to college, Driver worked odd jobs here and there to make money and have something to do.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Five-star IU commit plays in Bloomington By Matt Cohen mdc1@iu.edu | @Matt_Cohen_

The wooden bleacher seats of the upper bowl at Bloomington High School North were filled with cream-and-crimsonclad fans. They gave a standing ovation as the newest IU signee took the floor with his Center Grove High School basketball team. Postgame, they went down onto the court to take a picture with the future Hoo-

sier big man. IU fans had come out to see fivestar center Trayce Jackson-Davis just more than 24 hours after he officially signed with the Hoosiers. He didn’t disappoint. In his first game in Bloomington since committing to IU, JacksonDavis dominated the Bloomington North Cougars. He stuffed the stat sheet with 33 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and three steals.

“It was a great feeling,” JacksonDavis said. “I saw a lot of IU fans here, so that was cool.” While the Hoosier fans lined the upper bowl, the lower bowl, packed with Bloomington North students and fans, didn’t give Jackson-Davis a warm welcome. Early in the second half, the Bloomington North student section chanted “overrated” at JacksonDavis. He heard these jeers, and he elevated his play, highlighted by two

dunks. “That happens a lot,” JacksonDavis said. “I try to tune it out, but I try to give a little bit more, get the motor going even more. I’m just trying to prove them wrong. They think that they’re doing something, but they’re actually just going to make me try harder.” Jackson-Davis scored 23 points in the second half while dominat-

Krampus visit brings holiday punishments By Hannah Reed hanreed@iu.edu | @hannahreed13

The sound of chains hitting the concrete, screams from children and adults and growls from Krampus beasts could be heard through the streets of Bloomington on Saturday evening. The half-goat, half-demon beasts were all part of the Krampus Rampage and Bazaaar event that took place Dec. 1. The Krampus Legend and Arts Workshop has organized the event — which is on its seventh year — and Suzanne Donnelly, the chief financial officer, has been involved since the beginning. “It’s a ton of fun,” Donnelly said. “It takes a little bit of legend, brings in the magic of the holiday season. It’s family friendly with an edge of being a little bit scary without being terrifying.” Before the event began, attendees were given a choice between wearing a naughty or nice sticker. Those who chose naughty consented to being touched or swatted by the Krampus beasts, as well as possibly being left with an ashen mark on the face that is said to attract bad dreams. Those who wore the nice stickers were left untouched and were handed candy.

Senior midfielder Francesco Moore clinched his fists and raised both of his arms, screaming at the top of his lungs. Moore was the first IU player to head over to the fence across the gravel path that separated the bench from the fans. While surrounded by other IU players and fans, Moore wrapped both of his arms around his parents at the same time with a never-ending smile on his face. His smile reflected the mood of everyone else on the field as IU defeated No. 7-seeded Notre Dame, 1-0, officially punching their ticket to the College Cup for the second season in a row. What made this win possible was the substitution that IU Coach Todd Yeagley made in the 60th minute. He inserted Superman into the match. Yeagley said he told Moore before the game to put on his cape. After suffering an undisclosed lower body injury against Air Force in the prior round, the status of Moore’s availability was up in the air. Yeagley decided that he’d rather have Moore subbed in toward the end of the game rather than him risking further injury at the start. “His presence immediately on the field just gave everybody confidence,” Yeagley said. Before Moore entered the game, IU struggled at moments in the match to take advantage of the Notre Dame defense. Less than four minutes after Moore stepped onto field, the Hoosiers finally broke through. In the 64th minute, Moore intercepted the pass between a pair of Notre Dame players with his left foot. Moore passed it to senior midfielder Trevor Swartz who then sent the ball to sophomore midfielder Spencer Glass, who played the role of decoy as he let the ball roll through his legs to find a streaking senior defender Andrew Gutman. Gutman saw the ball in front of him with the Notre Dame defender approaching him and accelerated to blow by him and make his move into the box. As the defender tried to make a sliding tackle, Gutman was too quick and sent a cross toward the opposite side. Senior midfielder Austin Panchot managed to slip between a pair of defenders while everyone was focused on Gutman’s buildup. That left him wide open to receive the pass from Gutman and he easily scored the header with the goal-

A red-eyed Krampus prepares to hit the “naughty” parade attendees with his stick, which is called a ruten, Dec. 1 on North Madison Street. The parade, which started at 6 p.m., featured dancing angels, St. Nicholas and a number of Krampuses.

The rampage began at 6 p.m. on Fourth Street and made its way to Showers Common. The parade consisted of candy angels, hula hoop angels, fire spinners and Saint Nich-

IU has opened a Title IX investigation on Maurer School of Law associate professor Ian Samuel, said IU Spokesman Chuck Carney. “As with any ongoing Title IX investigation, we cannot comment on aspects of this personnel matter,” Carney said. “We take these processes very seriously and will determine the facts in the case.” The Title IX statute states that no student will, based on their sex, be excluded from participation, denied benefits, or discriminated against in educational programs or activities that receive federal money, according to the US Department of Education website. Sexual misconduct issues on campus are considered part of Title IX. Samuel graduated the New York University School of Law in 2008 and was a lecturer at Harvard Law School for two years before coming to IU this semester. He also spent three years with the United States Department of Justice.
