The Intramural Center, a basketball court and gym on IU’s campus, will be renamed in honor of former IU basketball player Bill Garrett after a unanimous vote during Friday’s meeting of IU’s Board of Trustees.

Nearly two years after the board voted to remove segregationist Ora Wildermuth’s name from the Intramural Center, IU President Michael McRobbie announced the building would be renamed the William Leon Garrett Fieldhouse.

The Intramural Center — formerly known as The Fieldhouse — was the home to IU basketball from 1928-1960. In 2017, a state historical marker was dedicated in his honor in front of the Intramural Center.

"Appropriate signage will be placed on the building to honor this great alumnus of Indiana University and one of its true courageous leaders in the integration and acceptance of African Americans in basketball at both the collegiate and professional level," McRobbie wrote following the board’s approval of the measure.

Garrett played for the Hoosiers from 1948 to 1951 and broke the color barrier in the Big Ten when he became the first Black basketball player at IU. Garrett twice earned All-Big Ten honors and led IU in both scoring and re-

bounding each year from 1949-1951. He was named an All-American as a senior in 1951, averaging 13.1 points and 8.5 rebounds per game while leading the Hoosiers to a 19-3 record.

After graduating from IU, Garrett was drafted to the Boston Celtics, making him the third black man to be drafted by an

NBA team. However, he would never play after enlisting in the U.S. Army. Two years later, Garrett returned to basketball playing three years with the Harlem Globetrotters.

Following his basketball career, Garrett became a teacher and coached at Crispus SEE GARRETT, PAGE 3

The Broadening Inclusion Group of the Bloomington Community Farmers’ Market released a disputed statement Friday on the market's Facebook in response to the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police. The group released an apology statement Saturday.

The statement expressed anger about the deaths of Black people in the U.S. It expressed sadness for the deaths of George Floyd, Tamir Rice, Eric Garner and Black people killed in protests as well as Black police officers killed in protests and victims of Black-on-Black crime.

“All black lives do matter and our hearts are in pieces,” the group said in the statement.

The Broadening Inclusion Group is a subcommittee of the

Bloomington Facebook groups blew up Wednesday night with Kenny Parrish’s minutelong TikTok video attacking George Floyd.

Parrish, son of owner of Ken’s Westside Service and Towing Ken Parrish, said in the video that George Floyd was a “menace to society” and that he probably died from a meth overdose, not from the Minneapolis police officer who held his neck down.

“That officer did us a favor, he was a menace to society,” Kenny Parrish said. “He didn’t need to be on the streets, cause clearly putting him in prison was not working.

Sorry, he needed to go.”

Before ending the video, he added, “Trump 2020, four more years.”

Kenny was wearing his Ken’s Westside uniform in the video, and thousands of people watched it, with screen recordings being shared after the TikTok video was taken down.

Ken's Westside is one of the towing companies contracted by the city to do towing requested by police or parking enforcement officers.

City communication director Yael Ksander said in an email Thursday that the city sent a letter to the towing company today giving them a seven-day notice before they terminate their contract.

Ken and Kathy Parrish, Kenny’s parents, posted an apology on Ken’s Westside's Facebook page and announced that Kenny had been dismissed from the company.

“He was not raised this way,” Ken Parrish said in his post. “My wife nor I as well as my whole company do NOT support anything he has said in his video and we can’t express how sorry we are to anyone he has hurt or offended by his words or actions.”

He described his son’s words as “disgusting opinions” and said anyone who wants to talk to him or his wife about it is free to do so.

Many people on Facebook were divided in their reactions when Ken Parrish apologized and announced his son’s dismissal. Some sided with Ken, noting their good experiences with the company and the owners, while others wondered if Ken Parrish knew his son was racist before and had continued employing him.

In response to the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer, multiple IU organizations have begun to fundraise to show their support for the current

movements across the country.

Over the past week, organizations have raised tens of thousands of dollars which have been donated to many Black-owned or supported groups.

On June 2, IU alumna Carmen Carigan and two of her peers cre-

ated “Hoosiers for BLM” through a GroupMe group message. The group quickly grew to over 2,000 members, including IU students of all ages living across the country.

Four-star 2021 quarterback Donaven McCulley announced his commitment to the IU football team Thursday on Twitter.He becomes the ninth highest-ranked prospect in program history to join the Hoosiers, according to 247sports.

McCulley is the No. 317 prospect in the nation and No. 3 in the state of Indiana. He is now IU's highest-rated recruit in the 2021 class, according to 247sports.

The 6-foot, 5-inch, 195-pound McCulley is dual-threat quarterback, much like current rising redshirt sophomore quarterback Michael Penix Jr. Last season during his junior year at Lawerence North High School in Indianapolis, McCulley racked up 1,960 yards and 17 touchdowns through the air, while adding 568 yards and three scores on the ground.

With McCulley's announcement, IU's 2021 recruiting class moved up four spots in the national rankings to 55th, according to 247sports.

IU Health hospitals put temporary visitor restrictions into place to help stop the spread of COVID-19 in March. According to a release, starting June 15, these restrictions will loosen even though the number of Indiana residents diagnosed with coronavirus continues to increase.

The chain of hospitals and medical centers will now allow one visitor per patient each day and only in certain areas. Visitors will be given a mask and are required to wear it during the entire visit.

The visitors will also be screened pre-entry and must be 18 or older. Patients who test positive for COVID-19 are not allowed to have visitors, and whether patients in emergency departments, ambulatory surgery centers, medical offices and outpatient clinics can have visitors will be decided on a case-by-case basis.

More information about steps IU Health is taking to keep patients are visitors safe are on its website.

According to Indiana’s COVID-19 Dashboard, there are 38,033 total cases as of June 9 in the state. In the past week, an average of 408 new cases were confirmed each day.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the virus is mainly spread from person to person and still recommends people wash their hands frequently, cover their noses and mouths with a mask when around others and avoid close contact with others.

To help fight racial injustices, the university has created the Racial Justice Research Fund to support IU faculty on all campuses conduct racial justice-related research, according to a release.

The university is encouraging faculty from different disciplines to apply, especially Black researchers, faculty whose research involves Black graduate students or involves partnerships with Black colleagues in other industries.

There are 25 grants of up to $15,000 each for racial justice-focused research

projects. The Racial Justice Research Fund also connects funded researchers with teams to help secure external funding and will present ongoing racial justice research workshops to engage university communities.

Research must be new, innovative or reevaluating the application of existing research.

“Through the scholarly work of our faculty, the community-building initiatives of our culture centers, and our partnerships and civic engagements with the communities we serve, we are committed to a university where a diverse community can flourish,” said James C. Wimbush, vice president for

diversity, equity and multicultural affairs, dean of The University Graduate School, and the Johnson Chair for Diversity and Leadership in the release.

Researchers looking to apply for the funding must use the form here, and applications will be reviewed on an on-going basis.

“The Racial Justice Research Fund is another effort to empower our faculty to apply their expertise to the translation of justified feelings of anger, frustration and uncertainty into thoughtful dialogue and action that will benefit our local and broader communities,” Wimbush said.

Lemarquist McClee, 46, from Gary, Indiana, was charged Wednesday and Thursday with two counts of rape. Both victims were 22-year-old women.

The first woman told officers Wednesday at the Bloomington Police Department she was raped the previous night by McClee. Police located him quickly and arrested him. Officers obtained a search warrant for McClee’s cell phone Thursday and discovered videos of the alleged rapes of two other women.

The first victim told police she had met McClee at Brother’s Bar and Grill the night the rape occurred. She said she knew him through mutual friends but not well. McClee bought her a drink and offered to drive the woman and her friend home from the bar that night after they had both had multiple drinks.

They accepted his offer, but didn’t initially give him their specific address in the Plato’s Court at Knights Landing apartment complex.

After dropping them off, the woman and McClee kept texting, and McClee ended up bringing the woman and her friend snacks. He was invited into their apartment, and eventually both

women fell asleep.

The woman woke up to McClee sexually assaulting her and made him leave.

McClee claimed she had consented, but the woman did not remember giving consent.

Video evidence shows the friend was also allegedly raped in the same room on the same night. The woman, who is also 22, has not yet pressed charges.

The second charge was filed Thursday after a woman confirmed that she was one of the other two women in videos on McClee’s phone.

The video was from the night of June 6 and showed the woman inside McClee’s Black 2017 Ford Edge being assaulted by McClee in the early hours of June 7. The victim did not remember anything from the night because of extreme intoxication and did not remember or know McClee at all.

The two women who pressed charges know each other. The first to report said she saw the second less than an hour before the time-stamped videos of the rape took place on the night of June 6.

McClee was also charged with rape in 2009 in Monroe County.

The police ask that anyone with additional tips about McClee contact BPD detective Joe Henry at 812-349-3907.

Household waste, disposable container John Myers awaits conviction usage increase due to coronavirus appeal decision

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had far-reaching effects, including in environmental sustainability.

Initial reactions internationally ranged from joy that air quality was dramatically improving in many cities, to concerns that fear of viral spread would cause the collapse of public transportation systems. In Bloomington, organizations from grocery stores to bicycling advocacy groups to the city public works department have been affected.

Adam Wason, director of the Bloomington Public Works Department, said the sanitation division collected over 100 more tons of household trash in March 2020 than in March 2019, and about 82 tons more in April. In contrast, in January the division picked up less trash than in 2019, before the pandemic shut down many workplaces.

At the same time, there was an initial surge in recycling. In March 2020 they collected nearly 82 tons more recycling than in 2019, but by April, the trend had reversed, and they picked up 3 tons less than 2019.

While it may be that this increase is coming from people throwing things away at home instead of at work or school, the impact on the

public works department is huge, Wason said.

Each ton of recycling or trash costs about $43 to have processed, so the 100.56 extra tons of garbage collected in March alone added approximately $4,324.08 to the department’s expenses, an unforeseen impact that Wason said has resulted in cuts to supplies and the cancellation of capital improvement projects.

Policy changes at local grocery stores and an increase in take-out food consumption have also contributed to the uptick in trash, as everything from reusable cups at coffee shops to the dishes people eat with at restaurants were replaced with plastic and styrofoam versions. Nicholas Blewett, Bloomingfoods’ manager of marketing, communications and engagement, said that while sustainability is an important part of the co-op, the pandemic had forced them to package their bulk food section into plastic bags and encourage customers not to bring in their own grocery bags.

“We’re just trying to mitigate the amount of stuff that comes from outside the store inside the store, from the standpoint of protecting the staff,” he said.

Other protective measures have also contributed to the increase in waste, such as an increase in clean-

ing, leading to more paper and cleaning products being used and thrown away.

Blewett noted that the masks they provided to staff were machine-washable, and therefore do not add to their overall trash output.

Wason added that he has seen a bit of an uptick in littering and paper masks on the streets, but it has also been easier to clean the streets because there are fewer cars on the roads, Wason said.

Jakob Breunig, a shop monitor with the Community Bike Project, said he has also noticed a decrease in the number of cars on the roads. He said the layoffs and reduced hours that many working people experienced as the state locked down have made maintaining and driving cars too expensive for some of the project’s clients, so they are looking at bicycles instead.

The project is funded and supplied by donations, both monetary and in the form of bikes. Breunig said that they have seen an increase in donations of interesting old bikes this spring, as people take the extra time at home they have to clean out their houses.

“We can take what’s essentially trash and turn it into autonomous transportation,” he said.

While bicycles are often associated with ecological

sustainability, Breunig added that the Community Bike Project is also committed to the social justice aspect of bicycling, as a form of “autonomous and environmentallyfriendly” transport, a role that has become more important as the impacts of COVID-19 continue to spread.

The pandemic came right before Bloomingfoods was planning on beginning a month-long sustainability festival, Blewett said. The festival was scheduled to run from Earth day on April 22 to fair Trade Day on May 10. While COVID-19 has hampered their efforts, he added that some events transitioned online, including an Earth Day talk by IU chemistry professor Nikki Pohl. Pohl discussed how she maintains zero-waste activities in her own household in the midst of a pandemic.

Bloomingfoods’ Ends statement says they aim to provide education on the interconnectedness of food, health and the environment, and the pandemic has provided new challenges and opportunities for companies working to benefit the Bloomington community.

This community support goes in both directions, Breunig said.

“It’s been nice to see the Bloomington community to come out and support us,” he said.

An emergency motion filed June 5 by the Indiana attorney general’s office was approved Wednesday, stopping an order which would have released convicted murderer John Myers from prison June 15.

Myers has served almost 14 years of the 65-year sentence for killing IU student Jill Behrman while she was out riding her bike May 31, 2000. Her remains were found in 2003 in a wooded area in Morgan County, Indiana.

The May 29 order by U.S. District Court Judge James Sweeney approved Myers’ request to be released until the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals made a decision on the validity of his 2006 trial.

The order cited Myers’ fears

of contracting COVID-19 while in prison, as he is immunocompromised.

In September 2019, Sweeney ordered that Myers be released, stating he received ineffective counsel from attorney Patrick Baker during the 2006 trial. The order gave a 120-day deadline for his release, which was later extended based on a subsequent order from the Indiana attorney general.

The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals heard the appeal against the September order May 26. It could take two to six months for a decision.

Jill’s brother Brian Behrman wrote about the decision on Facebook.

“There will never be complete closure for us, but there was a small sense of justice for Jill with the news tonight,” he wrote.

“After one week of creating the group, we have been able to raise $90,000,” Carigan said. “The funds raised from this group have been designated to be used as bail, memorial, and community funds.”

“Hoosiers for BLM” proceeds have been donated to over 60 organizations thus far including the George Floyd Memorial Fund and the Minnesota Freedom Fund.

IU student organizers of the Enough is Enough protest on June 5 raised $5,575 for the Banneker Community Center in Bloomington, a place that serves many Black young people in the community. Emma Williams created a GoFundMe dedicated to organizations that are owned or operated by Black people.

Williams is a part of the Delta Alpha chapter of Phi Mu at IU. With the help of her sorority sisters, a total of $1,399 has been raised so far over the past week.

“We are currently splitting the donations by five organizations,” Williams said.

“Those five include: Color of Change, The Loveland Foundation, Twin Cities Recovery Project, Black Visions Collective and Campaign Zero.”

The donations that have been raised in the past week have already been sent to the organizations. As of right now, Williams has no end date for the GoFundMe page and is interested in adding more organizations to the current list.

“Hoosiers for Justice” is another fundraiser created by organizations on campus.

This fundraiser consists of a bracket tournament with 29 organizations. Aside from sororities and fraternities, the IU Contemporary Dance Program, the musical theatre program, and Jhanak are participating in the tournament.

The bracket fundraiser began Friday and as of now 29 organizations are participating in the multi-week fundraising competition.

The proceeds from the bracket tournament will be donated to Black Lives Matter and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

Acacia fraternity is also helping raise money for Le Peep, a restaurant franchise which has a minority-owned location in downtown Indianapolis. Le Peep Indy has been harshly affected by the pandemic and looting after recent protests.

After the organization raises the $4,500 to cover Le Peep’s damages, they will donate the proceeds to My Block, My Hood, My City.

This organization began in Chicago and provides the youth with the opportunity to explore community development, culinary arts, entrepreneurship, etc. They have four core values including: interconnectivity, empathy, hope and civic responsibility.

“None of the fundraising would be possible without fantastic and brave Black advocates, scholars, and organizations who are leading this revolution,” Williams said.

The Parks Department did not endorse the statement, according to a comment on the Facebook post from the Office of the Mayor.

The Broadening Inclusion Group's statement ended with a claim to commit to diversity, equity and inclusivity and agreement with the statement from the Farmers Market Coalition, a national organization the market claims to be a member of.

Some community members responded in outrage, calling the post racist and calling for further boycotting. The farmer's market has been a source of tension for about a year after it allowed a vendor with ties to a white supremacist group to continue selling at the market.

Marcia Veldman, the market’s coordinator, said she can understand why people think the statement is racist.

“In retrospect, clearly we should not have posted that statement on our Facebook page because some of the comments in it were very troubling,” she said. “I will say that as a volunteer group, their intentions were good. The outcome was disturbing.”

Abby Ang, founder of No Space for Hate Bloomington, said she felt that the Broadening Inclusion Group failed to create an inclusive environment because the statement did not explicitly mention racism or white supremacy. She said she felt it made community members feel unwelcome.

The post has over 700 comments, some calling for group members’ resignation.

“I think it’s a very clear message that the Broadening Inclusion Group has failed in its mission,” Ang said.

The Farmers Market Coalition commented that the FMC is not in agreement with the statement.

“We are disappointed and disheartened to see this statement from Bloomington Community Farmers Market,” the FMC said in the comment. “As many on this thread have noted, it does not uphold the values of diversity, inclusion, and equity that this committee is meant to affirm.”

The FMC also commented that the Bloomington market is not a current member of the FMC as claimed.

The Broadening Inclusion Group released an apology statement Saturday signed by six of its nine members.

“The language was offensive and clearly compromised the main issues our community is working to address, which are systemic racism and police brutality against black people,” the

group said in the apology statement.

The group also said in the apology statement not all group members were able to thoroughly examine the original statement before it was posted.

Wil Stahly, one of the group members, did not sign the apology statement and stood by the original statement. He said he thinks everyone but one member of the group approved the original statement before it went out.

Stahly said he stood by the statement because he said it expressed that all Black lives and death matter regardless of how Black people are killed.

“I think it’s kind of tragic that in certain situations, people will rally together, come together and support Black lives, but then we have Black men and women and children of all genders who are dying every single day that no one cares about,”

Stahly said.

He said one example is Michael Parker, a Black man who died from a gunshot wound Sunday in Bloomington.

“This ties into the statement because it does specifically mention those Black men, women and children who are aimlessly lost and shoot other Black men, women and children,” Stahly said. “That’s exactly what happened.”

Ang said she feels that group members should resign and the group should disband.

The Broadening Inclusion Group still exists but seven of the nine group members have resigned since Saturday and their Thursday meeting was canceled, Ksander said. One had already informally resigned.The Farmer's Market Advisory Council will discuss the Broadening Inclusion Group at their Monday meeting.

3 Black-owned businesses in Bloomington “I wanted to make sure that whoever walked in the door, that we could do their hair, no matter who they were and the type of hair that they have.”

Angela Carter, owner of Angela’s Ebony Hair Designs and Barber Shop

By Cate Charron catcharr@iu.edu | @catecharron

If you’re looking to support more local businesses in Bloomington amid the coronavirus, nationwide protests after the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police or in general, the IDS put together a list of Black-owned businesses in Bloomington and here are indepth looks at three of them.

Angela’s Ebony Hair Designs and Barber Shop The salon and barber shop on 534 S. College Ave. has been in business for 26 years. The salon used to only do Black hair but has now expanded to doing all types of hair.

“I wanted to make sure that whoever walked in the door, that we could do their hair, no matter who they were and the type of hair that they have,” owner Angela Carter said.

Carter began her business as a partnership with another hair stylist she worked with.

Originally, the pair would rent booths in hair salons in town but Carter said their mass of college student clientele and their process of doing hair was found to be disruptive in other salons.

“We’d be hanging out and chit chatting. We might even be

doing hair to about one or two or three o’clock in the morning,” Carter said. “It didn’t flow with their business. We were overpowering to them.”

Carter and her partner eventually began their own business called Ebony Hair Design. Three years later, Carter said her partner moved to Indianapolis and she took over the business becoming Angela’s Ebony Hair Designs and Barber Shop.

Within the past five years, Carter said she made a few changes to boost her business, such as doing all types of hair and moving locations. Since the reopening due to the pandemic closure, Carter said the salon is doing well. She said, during the business’ closed period, there were people checking up on her business hoping they would still remain open.

The salon and barber shop is taking appointments only right now. All clients are asked to use hand sanitizer upon entry, have their temperature taken, wear a mask and not bring extra guests.

Popkorn Kernels with a Twist The popcorn business, located on 122 S. College Ave., is known for its high quality, gourmet popcorn and wide range of flavors from basic

caramel to buffalo cheddar to cookies and cream.

Inspired by her father’s and grandfather’s entrepreneurship, owner Dr. Virginia Githiri started her business originally in 2007 but lacked the resources to move Popkorn off the ground. While also being an IU School of Public Health lecturer, she restarted the company in 2016. She said she wanted to give the business another chance.

“It sounds crazy, but I just love popcorn,” Githiri said.

Githiri said she began her business because of her own love of popcorn and after she saw a lack of a gourmet popcorn company in Bloomington. She said she only releases popcorn she deems to be of the highest quality and is meticulous about using real ingredients and packaging that keeps the product fresh.

“I don’t like boring food,” Githiri said. “I won’t create boring food.”

end.

Githiri said she has received a lot of support from the Bloomington community but mentioned being a minority business owner can be difficult. She said minority owners typically don’t see some of the same opportunities that others may have and they have to do a lot of self promotion.

Since the nationwide protests over the killing of George Floyd began over two weeks ago, Githiri said there has been a significant increase in sales when one of her friends posted her business in a Facebook group called Bloomington foodies. She said the response has blown her away and she is now receiving orders from around the country.

“There is a lot of love surrounding the fact that I am a minority business owner,” Githiri said. “That means a lot because it says we see you.”

Popkorn Kernels with a Twist is currently open Friday and Saturday each week from 12 to 4 p.m. Githiri said she is looking to be open more in July.

Cry Babies Electric Tattooing The tattoo studio owner Terin J.D. said he created the relaxed business, located at 116 S. Grant St., to be a space for

marginalized communities, including people of color, the LGBTQ+ community and women, to receive tattoos.

The studio is decorated to match the tone J.D. wants to set. It is filled with memories of his childhood and art depicting Black culture with music by Black artists playing, he said.

“This studio has been really good at getting people in Bloomington to see for the first time in their life what is Black culture as a way that a Black person sees it,” J.D. said.

Tattooing is a predominantly white-dominated field and J.D. said he started his business after he experienced racism working elsewhere. He said he wanted to create a space where he and others could feel comfortable both tattooing and receiving tattoo.

J.D. also said Bloomington didn’t have a place that can specifically tattoo brown skin and that many times people would have to drive to Indianapolis.

“It’s been popular, but it’s only been popular with a small community,” J.D. said. “That’s actually been the best part of this studio is just that a lot of people don’t know about it.”

The shop is currently open for appointments only.

FOOTBALL

McCulley projects to be IU’s QB of the future

By Caleb Coffman calcoffm@iu.edu | @CalCoff

Donaven McCulley hadn’t even played a snap on the varsity football team at Lawrence North High School in Indianapolis, yet IU head coach Tom Allen and offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan thought he could be special.

Before becoming a highly touted four-star recruit and before other college football powerhouses started to show up for his games, IU was there with a scholarship offer in hand.

As McCulley rose in the recruiting rankings during his junior season, completing 63% of his passes for 1,958 yards and 17 touchdowns, the scholarship offers started to pile in.

McCulley whittled his list down to Iowa, Purdue, the University of Mississippi and the University of Missouri alongside IU, but the Hoosiers’ early recruitment became a key factor in his decision to sign with the program.

“They were the first to believe in me,” McCulley said. “I just couldn’t pass up on the opportunity to be coached by such a good group of guys.”

At 6-feet, 5-inches and 195 pounds, McCulley mirrors IU’s current quarterback Michael Penix Jr. both physically and skillwise. Both quarterbacks have high-end speed and strong arms, which Penix Jr. showed fit perfectly into IU’s new offensive system last season.

In his highlight package, McCulley’s natural arm strength is the biggest aspect that pops off the screen. In multiple clips, he shows his ability to launch off-balance throws on the run, including one nearly 45 yards while falling away from his receiver.

“For a high school quar-

Junior quarterback Peyton Ramsey smiles after scoring the winning touchdown against Purdue on Nov. 30, 2019, at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, Indiana. Quarterback Donaven McCulley of Lawrence North High School in Indianapolis had whittled his list down to Iowa, Purdue, the University of Mississippi and the University of Missouri before accepting an offer from IU.

terback, it’s the best I’ve ever seen,” Lawrence North coach Patrick Mallory told IndyStar. “That doesn’t mean just watching the Indiana kids. That’s watching any kid that’s a top quarterback coming up.”

While Penix Jr. likes to classify himself as a prostyle quarterback that can run, McCulley is the prototypical dual-threat option. The rising high school senior runs a 4.6-second 40-yard dash, which would have ranked third in the 2020 NFL Combine. So, McCulley is always looking for

running lanes and is quick to take off downfield when he sees an opening.

As a result of McCulley’s talent, his national recruiting ranking continued to climb. According to 247sports, McCulley is the No. 11 dual-threat quarterback in the class of 2021 — No. 23 quarterback overall — and the third-ranked prospect in the state of Indiana.

When McCulley arrives on campus for the 2021 season, the Hoosiers project to have a crowded quarterback room.

Penix Jr. and backup quarterback Jack Tuttle, who was the No. 8 pro-style quarterback in the class of 2018, will both be redshirt juniors. Alongside them, three-star recruit Dexter Williams will likely be a redshirt freshman since he’s expected to redshirt this upcoming season.

While this means McCulley likely won’t be competing for a starting role in his freshman year, it will allow him to grow into the position at the college level.

McCulley’s skill set is transferable to college, but

his playing style may need to evolve. Too often in his highlight reel, McCulley bailed on a play and scrambled, relying heavily on his speed to get himself out of trouble.

While that type of play works when you’re one of the best athletes on the field, which McCulley is in high school, Big Ten defenses are full of elite athletes.

Instead, McCulley will need to grow as a quarterback and become more comfortable in the pocket.

Stepping into a backup role behind Penix Jr. and Tuttle

is a great opportunity to grow in a low-stress environment.

McCulley projects to be IU’s quarterback of the future as Allen has potentially found who he will hand the reins off to in the post-Penix Jr. era. However, that day is three or four years away, and right now McCulley is just happy to be a Hoosier.

“I want to represent my home state and I want to do that at Indiana,” McCulley told Rivals. “I have been thinking about it for a while now. I have always known that was the school for me.”

Editor Jerrett Alexander opinion@idsnews.com

CRAFTED COMMENTARY

It’s time to talk about discrimination against Black authors in the publishing industry Molly Hayes (she/her) is a rising junior in English.

The recent nationwide reckoning with racism has expanded to discussing inequality within the workplace, including the world of publishing. Last week, the hashtag #PublishingPaidMe began trending for writers to discuss the pay disparity that occurs in the industry.

There was a particular focus on Black authors due to many book publishing companies’ statements of support for Black Lives Matter, such as the powerful company HarperCollins, who tweeted its support June 1.

People were interested in seeing if the companies’ claims of promoting diversity in the publishing industry were based in reality by using the metric of compensation.

The trend and subsequent online conversation were kickstarted by author LL McKinney, who clarified that the trend would be specifically focused on discrimination against Black authors.

The numbers that authors came forward with, as well as my subsequent research on the issue, affirmed the sad truth of the industry’s discrimination against Black authors. Book publishing companies must do more than tweet out empty platitudes. They must properly compensate Black authors for their books, as well as market these books with just as much passion as they market books by white authors.

While browsing this hashtag, I saw that there were almost completely unknown white authors get-

ting paid double the amount that well-known Black authors, such as feminist Roxane Gay, were paid. I was particularly shocked to learn that N.K. Jemisin, author of the Hugo Award winning science fiction series “Broken Earth,” received only $25,000 in advancements for each book in the series, while white author Laura Sebastian received $185,000 per book for the “Ash Princess” series, a fantasy trilogy that did not receive near the same level of universal acclaim.

Discrimination against Black authors isn’t just limited to pay, either. An NPR article, “Diversity in Book Publishing Isn’t Just About Writers — Marketing Matters, Too,” highlights the issue of lack of diversity in staff positions within publishing companies.

The article cites the Lee & Low survey, which found that in marketing and publicity departments in publishing companies, about 77% of employees are white. This is important because individuals who work in these departments have a massive influence on how a book is marketed to consumers, as well as how the book is presented to the press.

Medium writer John the Correlator also chimed in on the discussion by compiling statistics about the famous New York Times Bestseller List. He focused specifically on the Young Adult category and compiled data stretching from the end of 2017 to June 8. What he found out about the list in terms of diversity was quite troubling.

According to the article, over an almost three year period, 22 debut

books have hit the NYT Bestseller List, but only one of these books was written by a Black author.

He also found that of all the books on the list that were published by the company HarperCollins, the aforementioned powerful publishing imprint with a love for platitudes, only 15% were written

by Black authors.

Although these figures may seem depressing, we have the power to help change the book publishing industry. The most important thing that we can do to support Black authors is buy their books.

Purchase them, review them on blogs and book review sites and recommend them to your fellow bookworms.

Roseanne A. Brown is a Black author who recently released her debut, a young adult fantasy titled “A Song of Wraiths and Ruin.” Then there’s “You Should See Me in a Crown” by Leah Johnson, a contemporary LGBTQ romance, just released June 2.

And the publishing industry isn’t limited to fiction. I highly recommend the poetry book “The Tradition” by Jericho Brown, which recently won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to books by Black authors.

There are so many wonderful books out there for readers to enjoy, and by purchasing these novels and reading them, we can help in the quest to create a more diverse book publishing industry. morhayes@iu.edu

ILLUSTRATION BY MADELYN POWERS | IDS

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The clearest path forward requires us to look to the past We are the only country to have been founded on the radical idea that “all men are created equal.” It is painfully clear that we as a nation have failed to actualize on this promise some two and a half centuries later. We are not perfect, and yet our creed is.

Often, the U.S. Constitution is forgotten in our digital era, but its power to guide

our nation through turbulent times as it has throughout our long and storied history is one that cannot be lost.

We must remind ourselves of this vision, for if we lose it, the results will be disastrous.

The preamble lays out a foundation for us, “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure do-

mestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare,...”

In these times of chaos, it is our duty to look to this document to remind us of these five American obligations.

Central to its message is the check on presidential power — enumerated in Article 2, and limited throughout — while ensuring the

rights of Americans to speak up against their government.

Every American has an obligation to uphold the document so many have given the ultimate sacrifice to protect.

The threatening of the insurrection act to squash those peacefully exercising their rights is not the answer.

We must uphold the justice system within it. From the

disturbing murder of George Floyd to the ransacking of American businesses, we owe the right of a fair trial to all.

This will take time and cause pain. We are not a nation to shy away from our hardships but to embrace them headon.

These same principles must apply to the government and its agents that have ended

the lives of innocent people of color in our country. We have a duty to ensure the ideals of justice and tranquility are equally upheld, just as they were intended. The answer in these times is not blue or red, but to hold the most fundamental piece of writing in the free world to its greatest potential.

TAKE IT LIKE A FAN

Why was Giannis Antetokounmpo once called ‘The Alphabet?’

Bradley Hohulin (he/him) is a rising sophomore in marketing.

Among Giannis Antetokounmpo’s array of aliases is ‘The Alphabet,’ and I am about to allow you to ascertain why.

Although a is atop the Anglo alphabet, the Athenian Antetokounmpo is an absolute alpha. An accomplished athlete with ample All-Star accolades, he ably annihilates his adversaries altogether. He amazes audiences and aficionados, accumulating ardent admiration across all arenas.

He’s a beast by the baseline and below the basket, barreling by bevies of blockers before bombastically burying the ball in the bucket. Besides his behemoth of a body, he boasts a brain built for basketball. The Bucks are bemoaned as bullies from the Bay Area to Brooklyn because they bruise backsides black and blue.

They control their conference without compunction or consideration for casualties. This cohort consistently clobbers the Cavaliers and has even creamed the capable Clippers. Antetokounmpo casually carries his crew as a captain with complete command on the court.

Daring to deny Antetokounmpo is dumber than disturbing a dormant dragon. Demoralizing doesn’t describe what he does to defenders, decimating them like Dodge Durangos in a demolition derby. He dumbfounds doubters, doling out dunks and double-doubles.

Every encounter ends

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks plays during a November 6, 2019, game against the Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center.

entertainingly with the electric Antetokounmpo in his element. He elevates effortlessly, extending his enormous extremities even when encircled by enemies.

Flying from the floor, Antetokounmpo is forced to flip in a floater as his flummoxed foes fruitlessly foul him. Forget flopping — the fantastic forward falls feet-first, then flexes his physique, firing up a fieldhouse full of fervent fans.

Gaze and gasp at the Grecian’s glow-up from a gritty

go-getter with glimpses of growth to a guaranteed great.

His gameday getup is green, but he glitters like gold, guaranteeing gaping and gawking when gliding to the glass.

He hammers the hoop, holding hard with humongous hands. This human highlight has the hops, handles and hustle to habitually humiliate those who hope to hinder him.

Impeding Antetokounmpo and incurring his ill will is inherently inadvisable.

Imposing his ire is no iso-

lated incident. Instead, it is an individual instance in an infinitude of irascibility.

The juvenile giant jumps like Jordan and jams like Jabbar. This king-size kid knows no Kryptonite. L, as in losing, laziness or lethargy, is a letter from a long-lost language to Antetokounmpo. He leaps for layups like a leopard but lands lightly like a leaf.

Many in Milwaukee may maintain morose memories of mediocrity. Antetokounmpo magnanimously makes their minds merry

with a multitude of masterful maneuvers that manifest while manhandling the Magic or Mavericks.

He is proficient in piling up points as passes pour in.

Antetokounmpo’s powerful presence penetrates the paint without pause, pummeling poor players protecting the post.

He is equipped with the quintessential qualities to quickly quash his opponents quarter after quarter of every quarrel. This may sound quixotic, but I question if

even quarantine or quiet crowds could quell Antetokounmpo.

While running, Antetokounmpo rambles and rolls recklessly through his rivals, be they Rockets or Raptors.

He reaches round en route to the rim unrestrained, which he regularly rattles relentlessly.

Sure, stopping someone from scoring sounds simple enough. But see a sample of Antetokounmpo’s sneaky step-back shots or staggering slams and you’ll suddenly surmise why so many struggle to stymie him.

Taking the MVP trophy twice in a two-year time frame is totally tenable for the titan, thus Antetokounmpo’s team will tear through the tournament toward a title. Until unseated by an unequivocally unparalleled unit, the Bucks will ultimately prove unstoppable. Verging on victory, they are a violent viper whose very venom is vested in Antetokounmpo’s vastly valuable versatility.

Weakness and weariness are wicked words to Antetokounmpo, who wills his way to winning weekly. It’s no wonder why this workhorse wows watchers worldwide.

While I extol his exhilarating and extraordinary feats, such are the expectation for Antetokounmpo. Were he an extra terrestrial, I would exude xenophilia. Whatever is yielded by yonder years, I will always be yelling “Giannis!” as I yearn to see this youth zealously zooming from zero to zenith. bhohulin@iu.edu

Local venues join alliance due to the pandemic

By Kevin Chrisco kmchrisc@iu.edu | @beatsbykevv

The Bluebird, The Bishop and the BuskirkChumley Theater have joined the Indiana Independent Venue Alliance in an effort to survive amid shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Indiana Independent Venue Alliance is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting statewide small venues.

The mission of the IIVA is to provide emergency relief for independent music venues and their employees, empower live music venues, initiate policy changes that provide opportunities to the live music industry and to generate opportunities for members of the live music community.

"It is estimated that

for every $1 spent on a ticket at small venues, a total of $12 in economic activity is generated within communities on restaurants, hotels, taxis and retail establishments," according to the National Independent Venue Association.

Switchyard Brewing Company, Kilroy’s on Kirkwood and Spirit of ‘68 Promotions have also joined the IIVA. More information can be found on the Indiana Independent Venue Alliance’s website.
