McRobbie presides at Media School inauguration By Hannah Fleace hfleace@indiana.edu | @Hfleace
IU inaugurated its newest school on the Bloomington campus and dedicated a sculpture in a celebration Friday afternoon. IU President Michael McRobbie addressed a crowd of more than 200 people to introduce the Media School at President’s Hall in Franklin Hall.
The Media School, established July 1 of this year, is a conglomeration of the School of Journalism, the telecommunications department and parts of the communication and culture department. All are now part of the College of Arts and Sciences. The Media School will be housed in Franklin Hall when the renovations are completed in summer of 2016.
IU Provost Lauren Robel, Executive Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Larry Singell and professor of telecommunications Maria Elizabeth Grabe all addressed the crowd on the challenges and hopes for the Media School. In her speech, Grabe said it was not easy to convince faculty to work together, noting three failed attempts at convergence in

the past. “Be sure, in the making of this Media School there were epic displays of dissent and resistance,” Grabe said. “But here we are. More, not less, content.” After the speeches and words of success and celebration, McRobbie called everyone to stand and inaugurate the Media School and the sculpture Ernie Pyle at Work.

Guests at IU Auditorium on Friday eagerly waited for “the king of late night” to take his throne for the evening. Before Jay Leno took the stage, it was bare except for the royal blue curtains as the set’s backdrop and the lone microphone and stool. Nearly every seat in the main level was filled. Some people sat leaning over the balcony. There was a constant pour of laughter and tears in the guests’ eyes as a giddy, lighthearted atmosphere filled the auditorium. “I’m getting too old for this job in a young field,” Leno said during his act. Leno, standing on stage in his charcoal suit and striped tie, eased gently from joke to joke as he made grand gestures with his arms for emphasis and paced back and forth on stage. He rested in the center of the stage, leaning his arm on the microphone stand, but he wouldn’t stay there for long. He lifted his free hand to push back his thick white hair and continued to pace, mesmerizing the crowd with his stories, his views on IKEA and the American obesity epidemic. “How fat are we trying to get in this country?” he said. “Dairy Queen now has cheesecake in ice cream. Cheesecake is merely an ingredient. We’re getting fatter. Our TVs are getting skinnier.” Then he proceeded to entertain the crowd about his views on edible underwear. In 37 years of experience, he’s widely regarded for his 22-year run as the host and face of the Tonight Show and place in the Television Hall of Fame. Leno is executing a change in his game. He’s shifting from being a face on television to re-visit his career in stand-up comedy and to reign once again on the stage. “We once had these interns, nice girls from Ithaca College, ages 18 to 21,” he said, preparing for an impersonation. “One of them stopped me in the hall and asked, ‘Excuse me Mr. Leno, do you have the time?’ “I go, ‘Yes, sure. It’s about half past two,’” Leno said. He resumed his college girl voice and said, “I’m sorry, what time is it?” “Half past two,” he said. “You know, 2:30.” “Oh, 2:30. OK, what’s half past two?” “It’s half past two. Have you never heard that?” “No, I’ve never heard that,” Leno’s girl impression said. “Now, I’m the crazy old man,” Leno said to the audience. IU senior Steven Chen decided to come see Leno at the last minute with a friend. “He’s been in the industry long enough to know what works and what doesn’t,” Chen said. “He is able to capture his whole audience in his comedy.” To him, Leno is different from current comedians. His age and experience make him stand out. What most excited Chen was seeing Leno on stage. “I want to see him back in the spotlight. I’ve never seen him just doing stand-up,” he said. “Here’s a question,” Leno said. “And this is just for the men in my age group. Do you know what age you became invisible to women?” SEE LENO, PAGE 6

Terra-pinned No. 5 Hoosiers suffer second loss of season By Andrew Vailliencourt availlie@indiana.edu | @AndrewVcourt
It was the first Big Ten meeting between perennial soccer powers Maryland and No. 5 IU on Sunday at Bill Armstrong Stadium. The Terrapins spoiled IU’s Homecoming weekend as they dropped the Hoosiers 2-1, giving IU its second loss of the season. Maryland got out to a twogoal lead early in the second

half after Alex Crognale drilled a header into the net in the 52nd minute. The tallest player on the field at 6 feet 5 inches, Crognale was able to out-jump the IU defense. “The way we reacted was really good after giving up that
second goal,” IU Coach Todd Yeagley said. The Terrapins’ (7-5-2, 3-2-1) first goal came in the 20th minute when forward Alex Shinsky dribbled down the left side of the field and was given enough space by IU sophomore de-
fender Derek Creviston to get off a shot with his left foot and put it by IU sophomore goalie Colin Webb. It was a very physical game that saw four yellow cards. “We had to increase our aggressive play,” IU junior midfielder Femi Hollinger-Janzen said. “Their pressure was very good, and I feel like it affected us a little bit, but we have to learn from that.” SEE SOCCER, PAGE 6
