The suspect in the case evaded police Wednesday evening after stabbing two victims and leaving a third with other minor injuries. The man, whose name has not been released by police, was taken in on an arrest warrant that was not related to Wednesday’s stab-
bing, according to the H-T. At this time, he is only identified as a possible suspect in the case. Police responded Wednesday to the 900 block of South Adams Street after receiving a report claiming two or three people may have been stabbed.

Uptown Cafe bartender wins competition at Buskirk-Chumley By Audrey Perkins audperki@indiana.edu | @AudreyNLP
The sound of shaken ice and a blazing culinary torch echoed from the Buskirk-Chumley Theater’s stage Thursday night. All senses were needed as four bartenders competed in the theater’s “Mix-Off: Bloomington’s Ultimate Bartender Challenge.” There were three rounds to the competition: a batch cocktail taste test, a challenge cocktail test and a tasting cocktail test. Rebecca Stanze, associate director at Buskirk-Chumley Theater, said that people should think of the event as a community-wide cocktail party. “What’s fun about this event is that there is a little bit of everything,” she said. There were four offerings for the batch cocktail round, one from each bartender. The winner of this round would have their drink offered as the Buskirk’s signature cocktail for
the next year. Dylan Swift of Nick’s English Hut won this round with the “Don Qiwi,” a rum-based cocktail featuring apricot juice, 7 Up, kiwi syrup and fresh kiwi fruit. Swift said the key to this cocktail was staying simple. He got this idea from his work at Nick’s English Hut. “We do a lot in high volume,” he said while manning his table and assembling cocktail samplers. It’s key for the drink to not only taste good but also be easy to make quickly. His rule when creating cocktail recipes is that whatever he made had to be something people could recreate easily at home, he said. “My drinks are simple,” he said. He mixed his drinks with his customers in mind. The entire time he stood behind his tasting table, he hand poured and mixed each drink sample, plopping a centimeter-sized piece of fresh kiwi into a shot glass-sized plastic cup. Before handing any drink to an audience member, he made sure to mash the

He said he knew his customers mash any fruit garnishes with their straws into the bottom of their cups. However the tasting cups he had on hand were too small, so he said he was doing it for them. It was not long before the bartenders were pulled on stage for the two remaining competition rounds. They first made a traditional cocktail, the name of which was not released until the moment they started. This test was designed to see what the bartenders could do to a common drink to make it their own, Stanze said. Within minutes, they made SEE CHALLENGE, PAGE 5
MEN’S BASKETBALL
Ferrell expects his playing role to experience change this year By Alden Woods aldwoods@indiana.edu | @acw9293
Both Kevin “Yogi” Ferrell and IU Coach Tom Crean knew the then-sophomore guard took a lot of 3-pointers last season. Neither knew just how many. Ferrell set an IU single-season record with 220 attempted 3-pointers, which he made at a 40 percent rate. No other Big Ten player attempted more long-distance shots, and only 43 players
nationally did so. When he heard of the record, Ferrell said he couldn’t believe it. “Is that actually true?” he asked. Yogi Ferrell “OK. I didn’t know that, no.” Throughout the 2013-14 campaign, the Hoosiers struggled to create ball movement on offense. Crean has often said a lack of players with true scoring abil-
ity stagnated his team’s offense, which often left Ferrell as its only option. “We didn’t have the shooters,” Crean said. “We didn’t have the makers on the court, and he had to take those because we needed to make shots ... to me, we had to do what we had to do.” Both coach and player seemed to be in agreement that Ferrell’s SEE FERRELL, PAGE 5
