Assessor candidate accuses incumbent

Truthy Project drawing attention

By Neal Earley njearley@indiana.edu

The U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space and Technology is looking into a grant awarded to IU from the National Science Foundation.

The controversy centers on an IU government-funded research study called the Truthy Project.

The Truthy Project, officially

titled Meme Diffusion Through Social Media, aims to research how memes spread through social media. The project is being investigated by the Rep. Lamar Smith, chair of the U.S. House committee on Science, Space and Technology.

“The government has no business using taxpayer dollars to support limiting free speech on Twitter and other social media,” Rep. Smith said in a press release. “While the

In addition to its grant from the NSF, Truthy is also receiving a grant from the James S. McDonnell Foundation, a private organization that supports science education.

The controversy concerning the Truthy Project began Oct. 17, when Federal Communications

Science Committee has recently looked into a number of other questionable NSF grants, this one appears to be worse than a simple misuse of public funds.”

The NSF originally awarded the grant to IU in 2011 for a sum of $919,917 to study the diffusion of information on the internet.

The project is under the IU Center for Complex Networks and Systems Research, which is under the

Monroe County Assessor Judy Sharp responded Tuesday evening to allegations by her Republican opponent that she neglected to disclose a possible conflict of interest.

Republican candidate for Monroe County assessor, William Ellis, has called upon a special prosecutor to investigate the circumstances.

In a press conference Tuesday evening at the Monroe County Courthouse, Ellis accused Sharp of failing to disclose a possible conflict of interest involving Chief Deputy Lisa Surface and a consulting firm where Surface’s husband, Ken, is employed.

Ken Surface is the senior vice president of Nexus Group, a property tax consulting firm based in Zionsville. Nexus was hired by Monroe County to help value property for taxation purposes. Nexus collects information on properties in Monroe County and provides that information to the assessor’s office for evaluation.

“Although the conflict is between Lisa Surface, Judy Sharp’s chief deputy and Nexus Group, Judy Sharp advertises for bids, recommends the acceptance of bids to the commissioners, and Judy Sharp signs the contract,” Ellis said in a prepared statement. “Judy Sharp knows that a renewal of contract is a new contract and when a conflict of interest arises, it needs to be addressed.”

The Monroe County assessor is responsible for valuing property in the county for property taxation purposes. Ellis is accusing Sharp of having too close of a relationship with Ken Surface of Nexus Group, a company that handles some of Monroe County’s property assessments.

“It’s totally ridiculous,” Sharp said.

“There is no conflict — this has been vetted for the past 10 or 11 years ever since Ken has worked for Nexus.”

Sharp said a conflict of interest form is not required because there is no conflict of interest. Sharp said Ken Surface is a contract employee at Nexus group and has no invested stake in the company.

In addition, Ellis said campaign contributions Sharp received from Lisa Surface result in a conflict

Lecturer addresses inequality Claud Anderson draws attention to black socioeconomics in America

By Lindsay Moore liramoor@indiana.edu | @_lindsaymoore

Union Board paired with Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc. and IU senior Ja’Von Hankins to host a second RACEnomics lecture Tuesday night.

After the success of last spring’s event, Alpha Phi Alpha and Kappa Alpha Psi wanted to continue the conversation of socioeconomics within the black community, Alpha Phi Alpha President Treon McClendon said.

“I feel like sometimes we focus on our own priorities and everyday life, and sometimes we forget about these issues,” McClendon said. “It’s something we don’t just wake up with and have the mindset when we are out in the community and in class.”

Last year, RACEnomics hosted speakers Dr. Bryon Craig, Eric Ryans and Dr. Uman Johnson. This year, Dr. Claud Anderson spoke in the Indiana Memorial Union Solarium. Anderson is the president of PowerNomics Corporation of America. Anderson has written several books about black

socioeconomic history.

The lecture’s main goal was to educate students on the pros and cons of the African-American community trying to obtain economic independence throughout history, McClendon said.

“It’s something we don’t really think about,” he said. “When we take time to sit and actually get a realization of things that’s when you’re able to better judge these type of topics and expand and broaden your horizons on different issues that pertain to you.”

Anderson opened the talk with a warning that his lecture

may offend or upset some but he advised not to get angry but to get smart.

“Contrary to what anybody tells you all, I don’t care if it comes out of a black mouth or a white mouth, anyone who tells you that blacks have progressed in America is lying to you,” Anderson said.

Anderson spoke of how African-American history has influenced the current state of the black community.

Since the concert’s announcement in September, Chance the Rapper’s upcoming Union Board event has nearly sold out.

Brett Bassock, Union Board director of Live Entertainment, said more than 3,000 tickets have sold. As of yesterday, no more than 50 tickets remained.

Festivities will begin at 8 p.m. at IU Auditorium, with Young and Sick and Kiesza opening. Tonight’s concert will have a Halloween theme, he said.

“I encourage everyone to wear a costume,” Bassock said. “Go all out.”

Bassock said there was an overwhelming student interest because Chance the Rapper’s high-flying career trajectory and Kiesza’s album release last week. He said this will be her first show since it went public.

One of Kiesza’s most popular songs, Bassock said, is “Hideaway,” which has reached more than 8 million hits on YouTube.

NO. 2 IU (10-2-3) at Evansville (5-8-1) 8 p.m., Tonight, Evansville

The No. 2 IU (10-2-3) team has defeated Evansville (5-8-1) 12 consecutive times dating back to 1996. They will try for a 13th time Wednesday.

IU men’s soccer leads the alltime series with Evansville (26-4-3), with the last Evansville victory coming in the 1990 NCAA tournament.

Given the historical and current success, one might think IU will enter Wednesday’s match with a complacent attitude. IU Coach Todd Yeagley is trying to make sure that doesn’t happen.

“As a group the coaches do a good job of translating that there’s no easy games in college soccer,” IU senior Jamie Vollmer said. “There’s upsets every day.”

Yeagley also said he believes Evansville is better than what their sub-.500 record might suggest.

“They’re better than their record,” Yeagley said. “That’s not just to color it up for the heck of doing it. I would maybe do that but they really are.”

One area where Evansville might be more talented than their record is going forward. In its final match, Evansville defeated Drake 4-1.

Yeagley said he believes that score line was not a fluke, and Evansville has no problems putting the ball into the back of the net.

“They’re very good going forward, so our team again will be tested defensively,” Yeagley said. “We’ll get some chances, no doubt about that, but I do feel that they’re very dynamic going forward.”

One area in particular where IU might be tested defensively is in one-on-one situations.

Yeagley said all of Evansville’s forwards are athletic and skilled technically on the ball. They are also able to create for themselves easily.

IU alumnus paddles Yukon River

By Amanda Marino ammarino@indiana.edu @amandanmarino

Bryan Brown, an IU alumnus and Hoosier native having recently finished a 57-day trip on the Yukon River, has now kayaked down two of the three largest watersheds in North America. He may be the first person in history to kayak the entire Yukon River from source to mouth.

“It’s very focused long-distance travel,” he said.

Brown kayaked from Green River Lakes, Wyo., to the dry wash end of the Colorado River near Yuma, Ariz., and then back up to Moab, Utah, last year. He became the first person to complete the journey solo.

That trip was 2,400 miles of paddling.

This summer, Brown said he paddled about 40 miles per day, completing a 2,300 mile journey to the Bering Sea in 57 days on July 27, including 17 days of delays due to inclement weather.

Brown said he started his trip May 23, driving from his Los Angeles home to Washington to pick up his kayak, a 14foot Pyranha. The kayak had three hatches that could store 20 days of food plus Brown’s camping gear and other necessary resources, such as the two maps and a GPS system he traveled with.

The entire rig weighed about 125 pounds.

At times, he said, even having two maps and a GPS didn’t help Brown determine where he was on the upside down “V” of the Yukon River, he said. Not only was he never in the same place on the map as on the GPS, but there were times the GPS showed him paddling on land.

After picking up the Pyranha, Brown said he drove up to Whitehorse, Yukon, camping along the way.

Most people start paddling the Yukon River there, but Brown said he was determined to paddle from source to mouth, which meant traveling even further north into Atlin, British Colombia.

It was here that he said he first began paddling on June 1.

But it would still take about four days to arrive at the Lewellyn Glacier, the official documented source of the

Yukon River.

This extra detour was necessary because mountainous terrain makes it nearly impossible to drive to the Lewellyn Glacier, he said.

Brown said the isolation of the area was unbelievable.

There are only four bridges stretching over the Yukon River, and all of them are located within the first 1,000 miles of the river.

After that point, there are still 1,100 more miles of river to the Bering Sea, he said.

“There’s just not much out there,” Brown said.

Though there were a few villages along the way where Brown said he was able to stop and purchase supplies if necessary, Brown was virtually alone for the better part of his journey.

Brown said stores sometimes caused frustration because they very rarely followed the posted hours. The villages were so small that it wasn’t necessary.

Prices of food in such remote locations were also a problem, Brown said, explaining that he had bought a $12 bag of chips at one point in the journey.

Small villages were the only

opportunity Brown had to contact his wife, Sandy, who would disperse information to their family and friends.

Weather was another major struggle, Brown said.

He said winds whipped up 10-foot waves, and the rain and cold were nearly constant.

“I had ice storms the entire way,” Brown said.

He said one storm in particular lasted on and off for three days.

Because the water temperature averaged between 37 and 45 degrees, Brown said he had to wear a dry suit for the entire duration of the trip.

The sheer difficulty of the trip is why Brown said he believes it is possible that he is the first person to kayak the entire Yukon River.

He said he has done extensive research and has yet to find records of another person completing the journey.

For this reason, Brown submitted the details of his trip to the board who determines what records enter the “Guinness Book of World Records” in hopes of securing a new record.

Unlike Brown’s last trip, he said national park requirements were not a problem.

Previously, on the Green and Colorado Rivers, Brown was forced to mail equipment ahead to himself so that he could meet the equipment requirements of each national park he paddled through.

Here, however, he said, he could not mail things ahead to himself. Instead, he tried to carry what would satisfy the most environmental safety requirements.

Brown said the main reason he didn’t run into trouble with administration was because there were no people out on the river.

Those officials monitoring the area were most likely doing so from the air, looking for large industrial projects, he said.

They wouldn’t have any reason to stop a lone man in a blue kayak.

Brown said his trip was related to the work of those national park rangers observing the land from above.

He said his interest is in the health of ecosystems in and near the river.

Brown said he believes his agenda is apolitical and completely rational, though he declined to disclose the specifics of this agenda during an

interview because he has yet to complete his third trip.

Brown said he is still waiting for the permits necessary to take on the last major watershed, the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers.

In the meantime, he said he has been writing books about each of his completed journeys.

From his travels and research, Brown said he has realized the Yukon River has experienced slightly less environmental trauma than the Colorado River.

“It’s pristine,” he said. “It’s incredibly unmarked.”

Because it is well-watered, life is less clustered and better able to adapt to human intrusions, he said.

The Colorado River does not have the same amount of resources and is therefore far more sensitive to humans, he said.

Brown said one of the main threats on the Yukon River is the overfishing of salmon but, because of knowledge of this potential hazard, fines have been implemented for people who fish on days when it is not permitted.

“People are already working to protect this ecosystem,” he said.

Brown said he encountered very pleasant and helpful villagers along the way.

They were operating fishing camps, fishing responsibly and very interested in the ecological maintenance Brown is concerned with.

“You could see they were paying attention to the quotas,” he said of the fishermen.

Brown said his goal is to obtain the permits and finish his third trip while he’s still young enough to do so.

“Hopefully that will be no later than next summer,” he said. “This is all individual action.”

In the meantime, Brown is trying to stress he importance of being aware of the amount of trash they throw away.

Brown’s journeys, he added, are not about him but instead about protecting the fragile ecosystems that rely on the rivers he is kayaking.

He said people need to take a grassroots interest in the big picture of the environment because these issues are not going away.

“We can all help,” he said.

Credit transfer process not easy for all students

By Alexa Chryssovergis aachryss@indiana.edu

Each fall semester at IU, roughly 1,000 students will transfer from other schools to the Bloomington campus, said Terry Knaus, IU’s senior assistant director for Recruitment and Outreach.

A study by National Center for Education Statistics shows that almost four in 10 students who enroll in a college in the next six years won’t be able to transfer any of their credits to their new institution.

According to the same study, which had a sample size of approximately 17,000 students at more than 3,000 colleges, more than 50 percent of student transfers come from two-year public colleges. Students who transfer from these colleges

to four-year public institutions transfer the highest number of credits with them.

Knaus said the IU Office of Admissions has no say in what courses will transfer from other colleges.

“We implement the decisions on the courses that’ll transfer, but the academic departments and the schools at IU make those decisions,” Knaus said. “We don’t make those decisions.”

He also said the type of college from which a student transfers has no impact on whether or not their credits will transfer, regardless of whether a student transfers from a smaller community college or a larger university, as long as it’s an accredited institution.

When a student applies to transfer, IU will process his or her application and

provide them with an admission decision within four to six weeks, Knaus said. Upon admission, the transfer application will immediately be reviewed to see which credits transfer.

“At the same time when we admit the student, we do an overall evaluation of their transfer to see what courses will transfer in,” Knaus said.

“So as soon as they are admitted they will know what courses transfer to IU.” Senior Michael Collins transferred to IU during the spring 2013 semester as a junior to attend the Kelley School of Business, and he described his transfer process as easy and painless.

Collins said he didn’t experience any difficulties with regard to credits transferring because he made sure to use the online credit transfer ser-

vice to check that all of his previous credits would transfer to IU before completing the application process.

Although ensuring that credits will transfer before applying can be helpful, it doesn’t actually guarantee the process to be easier for any student.

Knaus said the majority of credit transfer issues happen with students who decide they wish to transfer after having already completed a significant amount of credits at another institution, credits that may or may not be compatible with IU’s curriculum.

“My situation was different than most students who start at Ivy Tech and then transfer to IU,” said Collins, who attended two other schools in Colorado before moving to

Bloomington, transferring to Ivy Tech Community College and ending up at IU. Collins said he was luckily able to transfer all of his approximately 72 credits when enrolling at IU. Other students aren’t as lucky.

“We can’t put every single college in and every single course that they offer,” Knaus said. “It would take forever to try to do all of that.”

Knaus said the main reason students transfer is because they are unhappy at their current college for various reasons, and most students don’t begin college with the intent to eventually transfer somewhere else.

As was the case with Collins, many also transfer to IU for a specific program in which they’re interested.

Although the ultimate goal for student transfers is

Health communications expert to speak Wednesday From IDS reports

An expert on health communications will be the keynote speaker at the Health Connections Commons conference today.

The Health Connections Commons conference is a collaborative campus and community event.

Mohan Dutta, head of the Department of Communications and New Media at the National University of Singapore, will give his lec-

ture at 10 a.m. today in the Whittenberger Auditorium in the Indiana Memorial Union, according to an IU release.

His talk “Communication and spaces of structural transformation: Collaborating for alternative imaginations” is free and open to the public.

The conference aims to engage the University and the surrounding community in creating a sustainable and healthy Bloomington.

The organizers are working to create an online Health Connections Commons that will help conference participants take action in issues of health and wellness.

“The development of effective solutions to today’s public health challenges requires genuine partnerships between communities and academic and governmental institutions,” said Michael Reece, associate dean for research and graduate

studies at the School of Public Health, in the release.

The conference and commons are funded in part by the Ostrom Grant program, which exists in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Dutta’s lecture will draw largely on his experience in communications.

The conference will also include sessions on servicelearning partnerships and community-based research.

to graduate in a cumulative four years, adding up collectively the number of years spent at each college they attended, this just isn’t possible for all students.

One thing Knaus said students can do to ensure maximum credit transfer is to speak individually to members of each department to attempt to negotiate the possibility of classes transferring that didn’t originally. While he doesn’t guarantee this will change anything with respect to credits students are able to get for classes, Knaus said he believes it to be worth a try.

“We encourage them to work individually with the departments and state their case,” Knaus said. “That allows them the opportunity as an individual to be an advocate for themselves.”

State, house candidates rally on campus

By Emily Ernsberger emelerns@indiana.edu @emilyernsberger

Twenty-two people attended the IU College Democrats rally in the State Room of the Indiana Memorial Union on Tuesday night in an effort to urge students to vote in the midterm election on Nov. 4.

Present parties included Superintendent of Public Instruction Glenda Ritz, Secretary of State candidate Beth White, auditor candidate Michael Claytor, treasurer candidate Mike Boland and Indiana House District 60 representative candidate Daymon Brodhacker.

The rally emphasized canvassing for the Democratic party for their candidates for the upcoming election.

“The most effective thing you can do these next six days is call,” Democratic Monroe County Council member Shelli Yoder commented.

The IU College Democrats have completed other initiatives during the semester, including making calls at phone banks and registering 1,105 voters.

Glenda Ritz, who was elected in 2012 in a highly contested race against thenSuperindentent of Public Instruction Tony Bennett, talked about the importance of grassroots campaigns.

While she said they do not raise nearly as much money, they reach many people by branching out with tools such as social media.

While the rally was to urge students to vote in the midterm election, all candidates took time to emphasize major policy initiatives, especially

“Educators are fed up,” Ritz said. “We have over a dozen running state-wide.”

Ritz has proposed a 3-percent increase for public schools and that Indiana have free textbooks. Ritz said 22 percent of children in Indiana live in poverty and that Indiana is one of eight states

without free school textbooks.

The Indiana Republican agenda that was released earlier this month emphasized educational funding changes.

MCCSC trustees approve $4-million tech project

By Tori Fater vrfater@indiana.edu | @vrfater

Trustees for Monroe County Community School Corporation voted Tuesday to unanimously approve a $4-million project to replace outdated technology at Bloomington high schools.

The technology infrastructure project was also discussed at a work session Oct. 14 and will include purchasing and installing equipment for a stronger wireless network at the high schools, as well as mobile devices for each high schooler.

MCCSC also plans to distribute iPads to each elementary and middle school student as part of its oneto-one technology program, which means a device for every student.

According to board documents, the project is expected to cost $4 million total, no more than $2 million to each high school.

It will be funded by bonds issued on behalf of MCCSC for up to $3 million

as well as loans and grants from the state.

Trustees also voted unanimously to approve the proposed 2015 MCCSC budget, totaling $112,259,309.

That includes about $1.4 million for bus replacement funds and just less than $69.3 million for the corporation’s general fund.

Cyrilla Helm, executive director of Foundation of Monroe County Community Schools, presented an update about the foundation’s fundraising efforts.

Helm said Foundations is finalizing a $28,000 grant with the Bloomington Urban Enterprise Association, to be used for MCCSC schools in the enterprise zone. She told trustees those funds would go to Tri-North Middle School and Fairview, Summit and Templeton elementary schools.

The trustees also heard an update on state academic standards and testing, presented by Director of Elementary Education Tammy Miller and Director

of Secondary Education Jan Bergeson.

When Indiana pulled out of Common Core standards this spring, the state was required to create a new test.

Bergeson demonstrated practice assessment questions for the board, saying it may be difficult for students to tackle multiple practice questions at a time.

“The standards are a lot more comprehensive,” she said. “In depth of knowledge, they’re at the upper end.”

Miller said MCCSC has pinpointed the most important standards for students in the update so teachers and administrators know what to focus on.

“We take all the new standards from the state and ... decide what’s most critical for our students’ learning,” Miller said.

The next regularly scheduled board meeting will be at 6 p.m. Nov. 18 at the MCCSC administration center on North Drive in Bloomington.

MainSource to open new bank From IDS reports

Those looking to invest their money in MainSource Bank, which will be opening its second location in Bloomington, might be pleased to hear of the bank’s parent company’s most recent financial report.

In the third quarter, measuring from July to September, MainSource Financial Group recorded a net income of $8.5 million, according to a press release from the group.

This is nearly 1 million dollars greater than thirdquarter figures in 2013.

“We are very pleased with our third quarter results,” MainSource Financial Group President and Chief Executive Officer Archie Brown said in the release. “Our

earnings per share increased 14 percent over the same period one year ago driven by continued improvement in overall loan quality and expense control.”

Because individual consumers and businesses borrowing money from the banks cannot guarantee they will pay it back, banks often rely on loan loss provision.

Loan loss provision is an expense banks set aside as an allowance for bad loans. It allows banks to ensure they will have sufficient funds to continue operations even if customers default on their loan payments.

According to the press release, MainSource “realized net recoveries in its allowance for loan losses account of $682 thousand” during the third quarter, leading the

company to have zero dollars in loan loss provision expense.

Another factor leading to the company’s income increase was reduced operating costs.

Along with the increase in net income, MainSource’s Board of Directors approved a common dividend payment of 11 cents per share, payable in the fourth quarter to common shareholders of record prior to Dec. 5, 2014, the release said.

MainSource Bank first came to Bloomington in September 2013 on West Kirkwood Avenue. Construction of a second branch is happening on East Third Street.

The opening date is currently unknown.

“The treasurer’s office is the only office that raised more money without raising taxes or fees,” he said.

Boland said in an interview after the meeting that he plans to donate the entirety

of his treasurer’s salary to scholarships and charitable organizations in the state of Indiana. If elected treasurer, he would earn $200,000 in a four-year term.

Marion County Clerk Beth White, candidate for Secretary of State against Connie Lawson, urged the audience in attendance to use their

votes for the changes they would like to see made in Indiana.

“Politics is the art of the possible,” she said.

That blood is pretty gay

Who is Tom Steyer?

MICHAEL SU is a junior in violin performance.

Environmental concerns are crucial at IU, but it appears some people’s efforts are rewarded far more than others.

Off of the heels of a story in USA Today, Tom Steyer, founder of Farallon Capital Management, has done a remarkable about-face since his days as a hedge fund manager apostate.

Now he seeks to make his mark on history through exercising his constitutional right to free speech, investing portions of his roughly $1.5 billion net worth, according to Forbes, in a campaign to build a Super PAC called NextGen Climate Action.

In the aftermath of 2010’s Citizens United v.

FEC Supreme Court decision, an absolute torrent of money came flooding into elections.

Most of the criticism of the decision came from the political left, with liberals screaming that the decision benefited the Koch brothers and the Koch brothers alone.

It did, but it also empowered many others, such as fellow hedge fund activist George Soros, to pour even more of their money into the political space.

Enter Steyer, who has taken pages from the Koch brothers in unleashing massive ad buys to smear opponents.

The New York Times details the millions of dollars that NextGen Climate Action is pouring into the Florida gubernatorial race in opposition of incumbent Gov. Rick Scott on the grounds that the state will be the hardest hit by rising oceans.

Therefore it is most deserving of NextGen’s money.

This is a necessary donation, and it will hopefully resolve a great many problems.

But whatever the reasons for his Road to Damascus experience, it is very striking to me that liberals will disparage their own prime methods for victory in elections, considering that labor unions, the other prime donors of the Democratic Party, also benefited quite generously from these new rules.

It’s not beneficial to a cause you believe in to deny its furthering because the money comes from a man who’s politics don’t reflect your own.

And when it comes to the environment, we all need to be working together.

The next generation of climate crusaders is being increasingly bankrolled by big money figures — far from the grassroots movements that activists would like to portray.

So now partisans of both sides can have parity when claiming one side’s volunteers are being AstroTurfed or not.

So while it is definitely good to work on reasonable and sustainable conservation measures to reduce environmental changes, as we are starting to do at IU, the best lesson we can learn from examples such as Steyer is to make as much money as fiendishly possible and hope that our fortunes will be enough to buy our absolution from the carbon-producing days of old. mjsu@indiana.edu

Show me some ID WE SAY: Make photo IDs accessible to voters Indiana officials are discussing a new policy that would allow Indiana voters to vote without showing photo ID at the polls, according to an Indiana Daily Student article published on Oct. 22.

Indiana voters are currently required by law to show identification when voting for government officials.

Though this law was created to prevent voter fraud and to ensure that officials are elected out of choice by citizens who are registered, it also disenfranchises certain populations that have difficulty obtaining a photo ID. Everyone hates waiting in line at the BMV. Multiply that by bus routes, walking and long lines, and it becomes undesirable, and in some cases impossible, to obtain a driver’s license or a state ID. Certain populations of older voters whose IDs have long expired are not able to vote, even if they are registered.

If we are going to require photo identification at the polls, we need to create easier channels to acquire it. Or we need to allow people to vote

without showing photo identification.

Moreover, the government needs to realize that other tactics are used for voter fraud besides the lack of identification.

In states with more lenient absentee voting policies, opportunities for voter fraud are multiplied. If people are able to submit absentee votes but are still required to show photo identification if they do go to the polls, there’s an odd double-standard in identification law that should be reviewed.

We want people to show valid ID at the polls and we want our government to prevent voter fraud.

But we cannot nix other forms of identification that could be used at the polls, such as a social security card or a birth certificate.

Every person is required to have one anyway, and these forms are usually kept in a safe place. This way those without a photo ID could still vote, but it would still limit the chances of voting fraud.

The government also needs to make an effort to accommodate people who

don’t speak English. If non-English speaking people go to the BMV only to discover no one there can speak their language, it just adds more difficulties to the process of obtaining an ID. The frustration of these situations may drive those populations away, which prevents them from voting.

The BMV should employ bilingual workers to assist minority populations in obtaining identification to vote.

Photo identification can be distributed when someone registers to vote.

A person is not allowed to vote without registration.

This way, they simply obtain a photo ID when signing the registration forms. This might allow more disenfranchised populations to vote.

The voter identification law does disenfranchise certain populations.

However, voting without any type of identification heightens the chances of voter fraud.

A sound solution would be to make obtaining photo identification more accessible to disenfranchised populations.

AN EMMA DILEMMA

Finding the solution to nature’s rubix cube For whatever reason, many people, even doctors, have a hard time understanding that the female orgasm comes from erogenous zones other than the vaginal canal.

Some even believe that women don’t achieve orgasm at all, when really only 10 percent of females experience anorgasmia, the inability to have an orgasm. There’s even a popular term for the female anatomy: “nature’s rubix cube.”

A 2012 Yale study performed by Dr. Amichai Kilchevsky, who is a man, and his colleagues, found that the female G-spot does not exist. It was reported by the Yale Daily News and reviewed 60 years of published work, examining 29 separate studies.

The big problem here is that Kilchevsky, when he was presenting his research, interchangeably used “G-spot” with “orgasm” and “erogenous zone” with “vaginal canal.” I will allow whether or not an anatomical G-spot inside of the vagina exists

to remain in question. But in Kilchevsky’s findings, he seemed completely flabbergasted, as he researched, by the fact that women do not orgasm from intercourse every time. The language is loaded with questions about the connection between the female orgasm and the vaginal canal.

I would argue that he was looking in the wrong spot.

It is important to define the limits of the study. The G-spot, so named for German gynecologist Ernst Grafenberg, who first began studying the female orgasm in 1950, generally refers to a sensitive area in the anterior wall of the vagina, or the wall facing the stomach.

Purportedly, there is a cluster of nerves there that stimulate orgasm. It was that specific cluster that Kilchevsky was looking for and could not find.

Kilchevsky and those who worked on the study believe female sexual pleasure, but not orgasm, comes from the confluence of pressure

placed on the “genitally sensitive organs,” which I find extremely hard to believe, and that the “spot” is actually a larger area, which seems obvious.

Kilchevsky said he believed the famed “G-spot” is actually just an extension of the clitoris inside the vagina.

The female orgasm does not necessarily come from intercourse. In fact, according to womensday.com, 80 percent of women do not climax from intercourse alone, which is probably why Kilchevsky was having such a hard time finding women who achieved orgasm from putting “pressure” on their “genital organs,” which honestly sounds painful and clumsy.

Rather, inside the clitoris resides a cluster of extremely sensitive nerves.

According to Psychology Today, there are some 7,000 to 8,000 nerve endings in that spot alone.

Look up common orgasm myths online, and you’ll find that almost all of them are

EMMA WENNINGER is a junior in English.

baffled by the fact that only 30 percent of women achieve vaginal orgasm. I have to ask why so many are obsessed with this seeming flaw in women but can’t understand that if you pull out and move two inches up, you may find what you’re looking for.

To say that women cannot achieve vaginal orgasm without exploring separate avenues and other erogenous zones is to spread falsehoods and misinformation about the female body.

This damages women’s perceptions of themselves and perpetuates not only the ridiculous idea that women biologically exist to please men, but has insidious rape culture overtones.

Maybe next time they will hire a team of women to sort it all out. ewenning@indiana.edu

By donating blood you can save someone’s life, or someone can save yours.

There is a list of rules and regulations to determine eligibility to donate blood.

The rules and requirements are in place to ensure the blood donations are of a high quality and without any kind of contamination, deficiency or disease.

Among this extensive list of rules and requirements are the requirements that the individual donating blood must never have used intravenous drugs that were not prescribed by a doctor and must not be pregnant.

However, there are certain policies that say that men who have had sex with other men are deferred from donating blood.

These regulations specifically single out gay or bisexual men as not being able to donate blood under the pretext that the human immunodeficiency virus is most prevalent among the community of men who have had sex with other men.

Statistically speaking, it is true that the largest community affected by HIV is the gay and bisexual community.

However, that does not mean this is the only population affected by the disease.

Moreover, it does not take into account the fact that many queer men practice safe sex and are regularly checked for STD’s.

It was documented in 2009 that 52 percent of people living with HIV were men who have had sex with other men.

That means that 48 percent of the population of people living with HIV are not men who have had sex with other men, which is not an insignificant percentage.

Presumably, the 48 percent are women and men who have not had sex with other men — research has not made a distinction between homosexual, bisexual and heterosexual women.

All of these populations of men and women are allowed to donate blood, even though they, too, are at risk for contracting HIV. Men who have had sex with other men are discriminated against in the blood donation process simply because they are part of a population that has statistically shown the highest instances of HIV infection.

I understand the need for the policy, but I also think it needs to be reviewed and changed.

Some might think this discrimination would make sense because if this population is at high risk for HIV, allowing them to donate blood would put recipients of blood donations at risk for contracting the disease.

However, the Red Cross screens and tests every sample of blood collected for diseases, such as HIV. A large percentage of people are excluded from helping save lives, purely based on their sexual orientation.

In all reality, sexual orientation does not factor into the situation.

This discrimination needs to end so more lives can be saved. johnstra@indiana.edu

That causes more space to be created for the attackers in the freshly vacated area, creating a domino effect of defenders trying to cover open space, always leaving more space open behind them.

After 140 years you still only control one half of 1 percent of the wealth. Nothing has changed for you.”

season, it has allowed 25.

Combine that with IU having scored 20 of its 24 goals in its last nine matches, and there might be a lot of goals being scored against Evansville on Wednesday.

“We’ve been working together, pushing it and not letting up against teams,” IU junior Femi Hollinger-Janzen said. “Our defensive pressure is really what’s created those chances for us and allowed us to score.”

IU has also received scoring from a variety of sources.

Ten IU players have scored this year, five of whom have scored three or more times.

“It’s great for our team,” Hollinger-Janzen said. “The

other team just can’t focus on one single player, and everybody can go up and score.”

IU is in the middle of a stretch where it plays three of its last four matches on the road. While that may seem daunting for most, IU is a perfect 4-0 on the road, and 6-0 once neutral site matches are included.

These matches away from home also serve as preparation for what lies ahead: the postseason.

In comparison, for every dollar a white man owns, a black man owns 5 cents. For every dollar a white woman owns, a black woman owns 2 cents, Anderson said.

“You can’t compete without the wealth, power and resources you need to play the game, in the real life Monopoly game,” he said. “That’s where the problem is and we’ve never addressed that.”

Anderson explained that Civil Rights activists did not stress economic status enough in the 1960s.

As a result, the AfricanAmerican community

continues to treat discrimination as a social issue and therefore protests instead of advancing economically.

Anderson continued explaining solutions to the audience by outlining historical ups and downs in the African-American community.

“I hope people walk away with a better understanding of different socioeconomic statuses and different issues that many people face that is not talked about everyday, especially being at a predominantly white institution,” McClendon said. “These are topics we don’t sit and talk about everyday.”

Commission Commissioner Ajit Pai wrote a column in the Washington Post, criticizing the project.

“Commissioner Pai does not believe that this is an appropriate use of tax payer dollars,” Pai’s chief of staff Mathew Berry said. “That federal tax payer dollars should not be used for the purpose for the evaluating the partisanship of American’s Twitter accounts.”

Berry said the research for the Truthy Project was all politically biased and taxpayers should not be funding a project that unfairly targets conservatives. Berry said the FCC is not officially getting involved in the matter.

“It’s difficult to begin to unpack people’s opinion about this,” Truthy Project principal investigator and professor Johan Bollen said. “Because their opinions seem to be based on a variety of blog post and press reports that are largely unsubstantiated and don’t actually match what the

project is and does.”

Bollen rejects any assertion of a political agenda and said he and his colleagues use algorithms to track all types of memes, not just political ones.

So far the research from the Truthy Project has yielded results on whether Twitter influences elections, the geographical trends of the social networking site and how social bots — fake Twitter accounts — spread information.

Bollen said the project is scientific and has no interest in making a value judgment on political speech.

“We don’t focus on political information,” he said. “We focus on any information that happens to be prevalent.”

According to the project’s grant proposal, the research collected from Truthy could be used to “mitigate the diffusion of false and misleading ideas, detect hate speech and subversive propaganda and assist in the preservation of open debate.”

The project’s website also states that the research from Truthy could be used to, “aid

of interest.

According a report that discloses Sharp’s campaign contributions, Sharp received $5,198.05 from Lisa Surface, $5,070 that came in the form of a loan.

The remaining $128 and 5 cents came in the form of an in-kind contribution.

Under Indiana Code 3544.1-1.4, conflict of interest is defined as, “A public servant who knowingly or intentionally has a pecuniary interest in or derives a profit from a contract or purchase connected with an action by the governmental entity served by the public servant commits conflict of interest.”

If a public servant does not disclose a conflict of interest, it is considered a felony, according to Indiana law.

Sharp has served as Monroe County assessor since 1991 and is facing a challenger for her seat for the first time in a decade. The midterm election is Nov. 4.

“Hideaway,” he said. “I’m really excited to look out into the crowd and see the reaction. It’ll be something special.”

That moment is what fuels Bassock and other people involved in the show, he said.

“Many people have put hundreds of hours into this,” he said, listing off James Diamond and Justin Fick, Live Entertainment committee assistant directors.

Bassock also credited Cassidy Sansone, the Union Board advisor. He said she helped in localizing the event planning.

While Bassock is in charge of contacting and organizing the concert’s entertainment, he said Sansone helped in physically connecting his work to campus.

The biggest part of this aspect involved anchoring the event at IU Auditorium.

Sansone said her job was to look at an event from a 50,000-foot view

people in recognizing misinformation such as harmful rumors, smear campaigns, astroturfing, and other social media abuse.”

House Majority Leader, Kevin McCarthy said he encourages the investigation in the project’s NSF grant.

Rep. McCarthy said in a blog post on majorityleader. gov that the Truthy project is a danger to free speech.

“What they don’t seem to realize is that the government funding a program to ‘mitigate what it sees as ‘the diffusion of misleading ideas’ is directly contrary to open debate and a free society,” McCarthy said on his website.

Bollen said the project’s goals are taken out of context.

Bollen said IU was required to speculate on how the research from the grant could be used.

“We’re essentially saying that results could be used by third parties to perform those kind of analysis, but that’s not what we’re necessarily doing for this grant,” Bollen said.

According to nsf.gov, the grant will expire June 30, 2015. and to “help put it in the framework of putting a concert on at Indiana University.”

Because Union Board works as a student/staff partnership, she said she provided the experiential knowhow. It took a team to pull this event together, Bassock said, with Sansone nodding her head in agreement.

At the end of the day, Bassock wants the concert to be an event people will remember. He said his favorite part of his job comes at the end of all the planning when he is looking out into the audience of a concert.

He described one memory, getting out of his seat to demonstrate. Imagine 5,000 hands going like this, he said while standing with his arms waving in the air.

It’s a wow factor that gives you chills down your spine, he said.

“I do hope that students will wake up the next morning and still be coming down from the adrenaline rush,” he said.

IU Police officer Brad Begeske responds to a call on 17th Street during his night shift Oct. 18. Begeske has been working with IUPD for 4 years.

The night shift IU Police officer Brad Begeske confronts the realities of student nightlife

By Anicka Slachta aslachta@indiana.edu | @ajslachta

Everyone on the eighth floor of Foster Quad-Harper is crying.

Freshmen sniffle in the hall, clustered shoulder-to-shoulder outside a dorm room. Inside, a young woman sobs on her bed, too limp and weak to sit up. Friend after friend tries to calm her, but she just wails. She went to a party. Someone gave her a drink that tasted strange. The ambulance is on its way.

Her roommate stands nearby, eyes glassy.

“I don’t know what to do,” the roommate says, her voice catching. “I watched her all night. I watched her.”

IU Police Officer Brad Begeske takes notes in between all of the tears.

It’s just past 1 a.m. on his night shift — six hours left.

He asks the sick freshman what she remembers about the party, who gave her the drink, anything. But, as she gasps for air, she can hardly speak.

“I don’t want this to happen to me,” she says. “Help me. I want this gone.”

Begeske looks at the young woman, trying to make eye contact. He needs to assess her condition.

“What’s today’s date?” he asks.

“Can you tell me who the president of America is?”

She can’t answer. * * * On patrol, officer Begeske witnesses a side of IU that parents rarely see: the wages of overindulgence, appetites leading to trouble, the many ways students can harm each other and themselves. All of it is real, and all of it is raw.

This Saturday in September, Begeske and the other campus cops begin their shifts at 11 p.m. They gather in the squad room at the IU Police Department station on 17th Street.

One officer leans back in his seat, eyes closed, singing “Saturday Night” by the Bay City Rollers.

A sergeant’s voice, calling out the numbers of their patrol cars, cuts through a mesh of laughter and conversation.

“352...53...184...92...”

“92 is totaled,” one officer says, interrupting. They’re short on cars tonight.

“All right,” the sergeant says, “you can take 53.”

Begeske leans against a long desk. He avoids the mountain of paperwork awaiting his attention.

“I’ll take 339,” he says.

The sergeant tosses the keys across the room, and they land in Begeske’s palm with a satisfying clink.

Before everyone scatters, the police radio sputters. Possible gunshots at Forest Quad.

The chatter stops. Everyone tenses.

“That’s you,” another sergeant says, nodding toward Begeske.

“Keep your head down.” * * * Begeske climbs into his cruiser, a 2013 white Dodge Charger, and takes off. As he heads toward Forest, the speedometer hits 60.

A few seconds later, the radio crackles again. The possible shots fired amounted to nothing, and he isn’t needed at the scene anymore.

The tension evaporates, and Begeske eases up on the gas to patrol the perimeter of campus. He makes his first stop of the night when he sees a blue Chevy Malibu with darkened headlights. When he approaches, the driver explains she’d been in an accident and her lights are broken. He lets her go with a warning.

In the field, Begeske isn’t Brad Begeske. He’s badge No. 28, or just 28, except for when his colleagues joke around and call him “B-rad.” When this happens, he sighs.

“No one’s called me that since high school,” he says.

High school wasn’t long ago — Begeske’s only 25. After growing up in Calumet City, Ill., he applied to IU, earned a criminal justice degree and joined the campus police force soon after. His dad was a cop, so he wanted to be one, too. The job promised something different every day.

Tonight, driving through campus, he notices familiar scenes. Drunken students walk with their arms flung over one another’s shoulders, trying not to fall over. Young women in miniskirts totter toward greek parties in heels they don’t seem to know how to wear yet. A young couple clings to each other as they amble, lopsided, down the middle of the street.

Everywhere Begeske drives, his Charger draws wary looks. When he pulls up to a noisy Phi Delta Theta party, he lowers his voice.

“Watch everyone scramble,” he says.

And when they see the Charger, they do.

On his way to a call in Teter Quad, Begeske drives by another party, this one at a two-story red house. Students pack the porch, holding red cups, and a booming bass drowns out song lyrics.

Begeske cocks his head.

“We’re probably going to be there later.” * * * He climbs the stairs to the third floor of Teter, the dorm he called home as an undergrad. He’s responding to a call of a student who’s had too much to drink and is now stationed in a bathroom, throwing up. Again, an ambulance is on the way.

“I can do blood, guts, all of that,” Begeske says. “But I hate vomit.”

In the bathrooms, he studies a shape slumped against the toilet.

“A little too much?” Begeske asks.

“A little too much,” the shape mumbles.

“Hopefully it was something good.”

“Jack Daniel’s.”

“That’ll do it.”

Soon the emergency medical techs show up, slipping their hands into mint green gloves and pulling out a breathalyzer. The freshman blows a 0.13 percent.

Begeske writes an illegal consumption ticket and heads back to his car, where he pumps a pocket-sized bottle of hand sanitizer.

“Typical Saturday night call.” * * * Midnight. Begeske stops at the Village Pantry for a Red Bull. Some nights he eats at the IU Health Bloomington Hospital’s food court. It’s open late, and he insists it’s better for him than fast food. Wherever he goes, he sits where he can see the door. It’s a cop thing, he says. All the guys in the department do it.

He gets two nights off a week, and one of those is devoted to Sunday football. He doesn’t visit home as often as his family would like.

When he gets a chance to call his mom, she always ends the conversation one of two ways.

“I love you,” or “Be careful.” * * *

At Foster Quad, where the sick freshman won’t stop crying, her roommate meets Begeske outside. Even before he steps out of the cruiser, she’s standing beside his door. She tells him she thinks her friend was given roofies at a party on the northwest side of campus. She closes her eyes and rests her face in her fingers.

“I’m so scared,” she says. “I don’t know what to do.”

“Calling us was the right thing to do,” Begekse says.

Post-party distress calls don’t faze him. It’s not that he doesn’t care, but after a few years on patrol, he’s used to it. Sexual assaults are harder, but the toughest cases involve children, because they remind Begeske of his two younger sisters and his little brother.

Begeske and the roommate ride the elevator to the eighth floor. When the sick freshman sees the uniformed officer at her door, she starts crying again. A friend holds her up from behind, his fingers interlaced with hers as he rocks her gently from side to side.

“Please,” her roommate says, trembling now. “You’re going to be okay.

You’re safe here.”

No one can remember anything about the party or the guy who gave the freshman the drink that her roommate said turned her into a different person. One floormate who was there remembers bits and pieces: Average height. Brown hair. Maybe 175 pounds.

When the freshman speaks, her voice is thin.

“I’m cold.”

She doesn’t have the strength to put on a sweatshirt, so her roommate guides her limbs into the sleeves of a Colts pullover. Other officers arrive, followed by the EMTs, who transfer her to a stretcher. As the elevator doors close, she’s still wailing.

Begeske and the other cops aren’t finished. Down the hall, another student who went to the same party is also sick. Two of her friends are carrying her to her room, the young woman’s feet dragging across the carpet.

Her head lolls.

“I’m fine, I’m fine,” she repeats.

She’s not fine. In a few minutes, she’ll be headed to the emergency room as well.

The officers are investigating the new case when Begeske is notified SEE NIGHT SHIFT, PAGE 11

KINSEY CONFIDENTIAL

Penis size has no correlation to satisfying sex life

LIONEL LIM| IDS

Mexican-American documentary filmmaker Natalia Almada speaks Tuesday at the Jorgensen Guest Filmmaker Lecture at the IU Cinema. Almada focuses her documentaries on immigration and Mexican culture.

Filmmaker discusses ethics

By Alison Graham akgraham@indiana.edu @AlisonGraham218

Documentarian Natalia Almada spoke as part of IU Cinema’s series “Porous Borders” Tuesday afternoon.

The filmmaker works heavily with issues of immigration and Mexican culture.

She has produced four different documentaries, two of which were shown at IU Cinema on Monday and Tuesday night.

Almada said she came to film by accident. She received her MFA in photography from the Rhode Island School of Design and was later drawn to filmmaking.

“I don’t think I ever woke up one morning and said,

‘I’m going to be a filmmaker,’” she said. “I love images and I think that’s what brought me to film.”

Almada grew up in two different cultures: Mexican and American. Her father was from Mexico and her mother was from the United States.

Growing up in this atmosphere led her to express herself in images because many times words, and especially language, failed to translate what she was feeling, she said.

After coming to filmmaking, Almada used her talents and background to give a voice to those who aren’t being heard, especially people like immigrants.

“The camera is like a mirror that I would place be-

tween me and someone else,” she said. “Whatever came out of it was as much a reflection of them as it was of me.”

Because of Almada’s subject matter, she often has to think about the ethical dilemmas involved in her films.

At the lecture, Almada showed a clip from her film “Al Otro Lado.” The 2005 film tells the story of drug trafficking and what draws people in Mexico to choose this path.

In the clip she showed, three Mexicans were arrested just north of the Arizona-Mexico border.

She said part of her wanted to tell them to run when they were discovered. But choosing to film what was happening was an ethical choice.

“I had decided at that moment that I wouldn’t use the footage if I didn’t get to talk to the people that were found,” she said. “I humanize them in the footage and gave them a voice. They aren’t animals in a hole.”

In her footage, Almada sat on the ground with them as they waited for authorities to arrive. The position of the camera, maintaining eye level with them, helped her humanize them and their situation.

“That perspective on the camera is super important,” she said. “If I had been standing above them and looking down, I would have kept them in their position. It says a lot about the language of the camera and the frame.”

I have never had sex because I’m always insecure about having a small penis and I feel the girl would laugh and spread the word to her friends.

I want to know what size satisfies a woman?

Women are sexually satisfied by far more things than penis size. In a study of more than 1,600 women and men, my research team asked people what helped them to be sexually satisfied or happy with their sex lives. We also asked people what made them dissatisfied.

Over and over again, women talked about the importance of intimacy, connection and feeling like their partner cares about what they enjoy sexually, as well as things such as passion and sexual variety.

Very few women — maybe only three or four — wrote about penis size.

It’s not that penis size doesn’t matter to anyone, it’s more that — for most people who have sex with men — penis size isn’t the most important characteristic of a man.

In another research study where we collected data on men’s penis size and their sexual behaviors, we found that men of all penis sizes reported active sex lives.

I’ve often found that it’s concern about penis size — rather than penis size itself — that holds men back sexually. Similarly, women of all body shapes and sizes can have sexually active, interesting, enjoyable

and orgasmic sex lives, but poor body images get in the way of many women seeking out the sex lives that they crave.

If you would like to be sexual with a woman, try to put your concerns about penis size aside. Get to know a girl so that you feel comfortable with her before you start being sexual.

That level of comfort and closeness might help you feel like you can talk with her, and it might help build trust that she won’t spread rumors about you to her friends.

It will give you a chance to make good choices with your sexual partners rather than choose people who might not be careful with or sensitive to your feelings.

You can learn more about sexual technique, penis size and flirting with people in the book Great in Bed and on the website Scarleteen.

IU alumna raises awareness of female jazz musicians

By Alaina Milazzo afmilazz@indiana.edu | @afmilazzo20

Even as a child living in Albstadt, Germany, Monika Herzig wanted to prove her love and devotion to music.

“I was just attracted to those keys, but we didn’t have a piano,” Herzig said.

“So I had to learn to play the Melodica. I had to hit those keys just to prove to (my parents) that I was serious. Then we bought a piano, and I got to substitute for the church organist, too, which was a great opportunity.”

After showcasing her talents to her parents and church, Herzig attended the pedagogical institute in Weingarten, Germany.

In 1988, Herzig and her now-husband left for America when she qualified for an exchange program with the University of Alabama.

Once Herzig received her master’s degree, she then attended IU for her doctor-

S T

ate in music education and jazz from the Jacobs School of Music — and never left.

“We decided to stay in Bloomington because we loved the town and the network we had created,” Herzig said.

She is now a faculty member at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs teaching courses in the music industry, community arts, creative thinking techniques with incorporated group jazz and programming for the performing arts.

Herzig is currently collaborating with other worldrenowned female performers in her project The Whole World in Her Hands.

Herzig is using Indiegogo, a crowd-funding platform, to gain monetary support for “recouping costs from the project,” along with supporting female jazz players. “(The campaign is going) too slow for my taste,”

P

Herzig said, jokingly. “It’s very difficult to get people’s attention and commitment.

We only hear about the success stories but rarely about the hard work it involves.”

Herzig’s Indiegogo campaign began Oct. 6 and will end Dec. 1. She encouraged listeners to visit monikaherzig.com and igg.me/at/monika for more information and to discover other ways to support her campaign, which focuses on promoting female jazz musicians through a CD release.

IDS How did you become interested in jazz?

HERZIG Well, when you’re a teenager you always have to play that piano by yourself.

I was trying to find a way where I could (play) in a band or a group. So I had the chance to join some groups, then went to a summer jazz camp (in Germany) and got hooked.

IDS When did you come to America from Germany?

HERZIG That was in 1988 for an exchange program with the University of Alabama.

I got my master’s there and then I came to IU for my doctorate.

IDS What made you choose IU and the Jacobs School?

HERZIG David Baker was one of the big attractions at that time. I actually had seen him in Germany when he led one of the camps close to our hometown. I wanted to do a doctoral program where I could have a lot of access to jazz, and IU had one.

IDS How did that schooling inspire you to become not only a jazz artist but a teacher as well?

HERZIG Jazz is a tough field these days, and my husband is a (jazz) player, too. So with raising a family on top of that, there’s always a variety of things that I’m doing. And

I’ve always loved teaching about music education. In fact, all my degrees are in that field.

HERZIG I’m gathering the leading female jazz instrumentalists for recording and videotaping.

IDS Along with teaching and performing, you’re directing the Indiegogo Campaign.

What exactly is this project?

HERZIG Well, on my last two CDs, I worked for a traditional label that paid for everything — the production, distribution. But these labels don’t exist anymore, and the amount that any label can provide is just getting less and less. So, crowd-funding is one of the current ways to make this possible. It’s saying, “Hey, I have this project.

I want to do this.” And if you (as the listener) think it’s a good thing, instead of waiting for the work to be produced, why don’t you go ahead and pre-order it?

The goal is to have an audio product as a documentary of the process, since female musicians have low participation in jazz. It will open more opportunities, create role models and just draw attention to the issue of low female numbers.

IDS Where do female musicians like you fit into the campaign?

IDS How do you think this campaign will help female jazz musicians?

HERZIG There are many hidden hurdles for female jazz instrumentalists. Role models are missing, so it is still rare for female instrumentalists to decide to pursue a career as a jazz musician. The goal of this project is to showcase some of the amazing women who managed to overcome these hurdles in order to create role models.

IU swimmer, diver honored by conference Junior Brooklynn Snodgrass is the Big Ten Swimmer of the Week, and sophomore Michael Hixon is the Big Ten Diver of the Week, the conference announced Tuesday.

Hixon won the 1-meter and 3-meter

competitions at IU’s quad meet this past weekend against Michigan, Texas and Louisville.

Snodgrass placed first in the 100- and 200-yard backstroke. She was also part of IU’s winning 400-medley relay team.

VOLLEYBALL

Is Indiana still a basketball state?

With Hoosier Hysteria last Saturday and NBA games tipping off Tuesday, it is officially basketball season: an Indiana native’s bread and butter.

Every year, newly polished courts, sneakers squeaking on wood panel and the crisp sound of balls swishing evoke memories of Bobby Plump and Bobby Knight, Larry Bird and Branch McCracken.

But memories that are just that — memories — have left me with a nagging sense of doubt.

Is Indiana, the basketball state, really all it’s cracked up to be?

The history can’t be denied.

One would only need to look up at the banners that drape Assembly Hall or be reminded of the Milan High School basketball team.

But if we’re living in the present, it’s been a long time since the Hoosier state has been relevant when it comes to basketball.

The closest shot by a mile has been Butler, the Cinderella that went to — though it must be noted, lost in — back-to-back championship games in 2010 and 2011.

But even for the Bulldogs, their identity was all about being an underdog.

Butler’s ties to Indiana are merely an afterthought.

The lowest low came for Indiana last year, when the state was shut out from the NCAA tournament.

The Hoosiers haven’t won a championship since 1987; the Pacers, since 1973; the Boilermakers have never.

After missing the playoffs from 2006-2010, the Pacers were one year shy of having its tickets given away at Burger King.

With the loss of Lance Stephenson to free agency and Paul George to injury, the organization will hover dangerously close to that line again.

And let’s not forget the IU men’s basketball team, our pride and joy, has had its fair share of shortcomings.

Unlike the tales told to

TORI ZIEGE is a sophomore in journalism.

us at bedtime, this is a story that all present Hoosiers have lived.

A program struggling to be rebuilt seemed to make its turning point as a No. 1 seed in the 2012 NCAA Tournament.

Instead, it’s knocked out in the Sweet 16 and misses the NIT the following year, with the only legitimate prediction for the 2014-15 season a dark, daunting question mark.

The one area where Indiana hasn’t lost its basketball mojo is in recruiting talent.

College stars Gary Harris, Glenn Robinson III, Mitch McGary, the Zellers and the Plumlees were all born and bred Hoosiers.

Now, they all play for the NBA. That’s not to mention last year’s No.19 prospect, according to ESPN: highly touted IU freshman James Blackmon Jr., a native of Marion, Ind. So while the Hoosier state hasn’t quite lived up to its reputation on the court, it’s clear that Hoosiers are still spending hours practicing off of it.

The image of hoops nailed to barn doors and silos, propped up in driveways and on dirt roads still perseveres.

We Hoosiers are raised on basketball. Where those skills honed in childhood are utilized, however, is a different story.

Basketball has always seemed like a means of escaping the Midwest, not restoring its former glory.

Perhaps the Hoosier state needs its own version of a LeBron James homecoming, someone to restore grandeur to this onceiconic basketball state.

But until that savior steps up to the line, Hoosiers will be searching, waiting, anticipating.

All the while, Indiana’s basketball identity will be fading.

IU, Minnesota to play tonight

By Evan Hoopfer ehoopfer@indiana.edu | @EvanHoopfer

This time of year marks the official halfway point of the Big Ten season for volleyball.

After 10 Big Ten games, IU is 4-6 in the conference.

IU Coach Sherry DunbarKruzan has said throughout the season one of their goals is to split each weekend of play, aiming to go .500 in the conference.

Going .500 in the Big Ten, widely regarded as the nation’s best volleyball conference, would give IU a promising shot at ending its four-year NCAA tournament drought.

IU isn’t the only Big Ten team looking to make it to .500 in the conference.

Minnesota (14-7, 4-6) will play IU (13-9, 4-6) at 7 p.m. tonight in University Gym. Both teams are on the cusp of Big Ten relevance.

The Hoosiers are coming off a five-set thriller of a victory against Northwestern this past Saturday. The win against the Wildcats snapped a five-game losing streak for IU. Sophomore outside hitter Taylor Lebo broke out of her hitting slump, recording 13 kills and having just two hitting errors.

Dunbar-Kruzan said Lebo had been struggling lately. But IU switched up its offensive scheme against Northwestern, trying to open up some room for the outside hitters.

IU responded with a five-set win. Lebo, standing at 5-foot-9, is shorter than many of the other outside hitters. The scheme that IU ran, called a 6-2, tried to get Lebo and other outside hitters in favorable matchups.

Plus, Lebo had a hitting error at the very end of the fifth set, meaning she went almost the entirety of a five-set match with only one hitting error, something her coach was pleased to see.

“She’s really struggled the last four matches,” DunbarKruzan said. “It’s the Big Ten. She’s 5-foot-9. She’s going to have those struggles. But I think she got really frustrated with herself.”

Lebo has a jump serve that

can get up to a velocity of 50 miles per hour. But when she’s struggling with her hitting, oftentimes the rest of her game struggles, including her serve, Dunbar-Kruzan said.

Senior outside hitter Morgan Leach also played well against Northwestern.

She had 14 kills versus just

five hitting errors. Leach is the only senior on the team, and Dunbar-Kruzan said she was happy with how she responded.

“Morgan was really playing at a senior level last night,” Dunbar-Kruzan said of Leach’s performance against Northwestern.

The outside hitters had good days with the new system. Dunbar-Kruzan said her team wouldn’t run the 6-2 system exclusively, but it is an option going forward.

» NIGHT SHIFT

to-knee on a ratty couch, tight-lipped and eyes down.

A girl leans against one of the young men’s shoulders.

The officers inform the roommates that three young women who attended their party are now at the hospital.

They tell them that allegations of date-rape drugs have been circulating. The roommates swear again and again that there are no date-rape drugs in the house and that, as far as they know, no one was drugged at their party.

“It’ll be easier for you guys if you cooperate and tell us where any drugs are,” one of the officers says. One roommate mumbles something about weed in a closet downstairs. Another mentions the desk in his room.

This time, Begeske pulls on mint green gloves and heads inside. He’s looking for marijuana, roofies — anything. When he returns, he’s confiscated two plastic sandwich bags of marijuana. He nods to another officer.

“Hey, can you help me get the rest of the alcohol out of the kitchen?”

The officers find no daterape drugs at the house, ending the investigation. They cite two of the roommates for underage drinking and the other for serving alcohol to minors.

Begeske tells the three guys to pour all of the liquor onto the lawn.

“Dude, this one’s full,” one of them says wearily, pulling a handle of Jagermeister out of a white plastic bag. He unscrews the top, walks over to the edge of the porch and watches as every dollar of his liquor is wasted.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 that, on the floor below, a third young woman is displaying similar symptoms. She, too, was at the party.

Begeske turns to the roommate of the student whose distress first brought the police to Foster. Can she help them pin down the location of the house? Her brow furrows.

“I don’t know the name of the street,” she says, frustrated. “But you could see it from the stadium.”

Begeske takes a shot in the dark.

“Was it a red house?” he asks.

She looks up, remembering.

“Yeah,” she says. “It was a red house.” * * * Begeske heads for the house, other officers trailing in their Chargers. He knocks sharply on the front door, eight times.

The porch, crowded before, is empty now. The crimson wood at Begeske’s feet is soaked with alcohol. A trash bag, fastened to the porch railing with duct tape, overflows with Natural Light cans.

Other cops stand behind Begeske as he waits for someone to answer his knocks.

When a resident opens the door, Begeske glimpses a messy kitchen, counters decorated with half-empty handles of liquor. A faint light reveals footprints from where partygoers tracked sticky mess inside.

The house is almost deserted now. Begeske ushers three of the roommates who rent the house back onto the porch. The students sit knee-

“We’re going to head to the ER,” Begeske says. He wants to check on the freshman from Foster who couldn’t stop crying.

He lets out a long sigh. The Bears will play tomorrow, and he’s going to get less sleep than usual.

At the hospital, he makes his way past several stretchers of other young women swaddled in white blankets in the hall. All of them are passed out, drunk.

He gives the nurse the name of the freshman and asks to see her.

It was determined at a later date that the young woman had been to the ER but wasn’t administered a blood test.

He tells the officer he should at least be permitted to return the grill before he goes to jail.

“What happens to you now is you go to jail.”

Sitting behind Begeske, the thief worries about the handcuffs.

“Do these cuffs have any nickel in them?” he says. “I’m allergic to nickel.”

Once he’s released from the confines of the cold metal bracelets at the jail, he examines his wrists for any marks.

From the holding cell, he makes Begeske laugh.

heads back to the station to tackle his paperwork. He writes more now than he ever did in college.

Maybe, just maybe, he’ll be in bed before the sun’s too high.

Begeske’s life is not a cop show. As much as he’d like for every loose end to be tied up by the end of the night, it almost never happens. He won’t know if the Malibu driver fixes her headlights. He won’t see the grill thief be released from the holding cell.

And he’ll never know what happened to the freshmen girls who cried all night in Foster.

It’s nearly impossible to follow up on every call, he says. There isn’t time.
