Travel to China not affected by protests By Amanda Marino ammarino@indiana.edu | @amandanmarino
Junior Beth Queisser is planning to travel to Hong Kong to study as an exchange student at the University of Hong Kong this spring. From Jan. 5 to May 17, she and seven other students will be working through the Kelley School of Business on courses relating to international business, marketing and accounting, among other things not specifically related to business school classes, she said. Currently, people such as Sarah Boeving in the Kelley School of Business Study Abroad Office are watching the news closely and staying in near-constant contact with Hong Kong as protests pop up in the area, said junior Cameron Halsted, also traveling to Hong Kong for the spring semester. “I’ve made sure to do as much research as I can,” Halsted said. Despite the protests, which are in response to the Chinese government’s involvement in what Hong Kong citizens believe should be purely democratic elections, both Queisser and Halsted said they don’t believe the protests will affect their plans. “I actually think right now it’s starting to die down a little bit,” Queisser said. She said she has a friend in Hong Kong right now who is participating in the protests meant to address questions about democracy in Hong Kong. Protests, which started in September, are being called Umbrella Protests because protesters are holding umbrellas open to protect against gas attacks, she said. “She sounds like she’s not in an unsafe environment,” she said, explaining that her friend protests after classes and is very involved in SEE HONG KONG, PAGE 5

OUT FOR THE YEAR Hoosier quarterback needs surgery, out for season By Grace Palmieri gpalmier@indiana.edu | @grace_palmieri
IU football’s worst-case scenario happened. Junior quarterback Nate Sudfeld suffered a shoulder injury, which after the game would be called a shoulder separation, during the second quarter in a 45-29 loss to Iowa on Saturday. The injury will require surgery and keep Sudfeld out for the remainder of the season, IU Coach Kevin Wilson announced Monday. Wilson said he doesn’t know the specifics of the injury, but Sudfeld will undergo surgery later this week. He will not be granted a redshirt season. “It was kind of slipping on him,” Wilson said. “It’s his left side. It’s not his throwing side, so he should be able to make a pretty strong recovery.” Sudfeld’s injury came three minutes into the second quarter when he was sacked by two Iowa defenders. He walked off the field with trainers, holding his left arm. During the second half, Sudfeld was seen standing in the locker room tunnel, his left arm supported by a sling. Wilson was unsure of the severity of Sudfeld’s injury after the game. “His left shoulder got landed on,” Wilson said. “It’s some degree of a separation and we’ll evaluate it when we get back. I don’t know if it’s short- or long-term.” Before leaving the game, Sudfeld was 4-of-9 passing for 85 yards and one interception. He finishes the season with 1,151 yards passing, six touchdowns and a 126.6 quarterback rating. SEE SUDFELD, PAGE 5

Columnist Brody Miller weighs in on what Nate Sudfeld’s injury means to IU going forward, page 8.
As quickly as junior quarterback Nate Sudfeld’s season-ending shoulder injury occurred, IU will now need to find a way to move on. Sudfeld is out. True freshman Chris Covington is in. Just 10 months ago, before the 2013 season began, the Hoosiers had three options at quarterback who had all started for IU. Then Cam Coffman transferred to Wyoming in January. Tre Roberson transferred to Illinois State in June, leaving Sudfeld as the unquestionable starter. Now Sudfeld will miss the rest of the season after having surgery to repair his left, non-throwing shoulder separation. With No. 8 Michigan State coming to Bloomington Saturday for a 3:30 p.m. Homecoming matchup, it’s
Covington’s team. His first test will be to navigate the IU offense against a Michigan State team ranked fourth in the Big Ten in total defense. “It’s going to be a tough challenge, no matter if you had Peyton Manning sitting back there,” IU Coach Kevin Wilson said. “This is a good defense you’re playing this week.” Covington was a late addition to the 2014 IU recruiting class. He was brought in at safety and eventually moved to linebacker. He was moved to quarterback during IU’s preseason camp after his arm strength quickly caught the SEE COVINGTON, PAGE 5
