Rabbi Sue celebrates 30 years at Hillel

By Jessica Prucha jprucha@iu.edu | @jess_prucha

Sue Silberberg realized she wanted to be a rabbi when she was between her sophomore and junior years at IU in the late 1970s. She aspired to build a Jewish community, provide a safe space for all students and inform people about Judaism.

Silberberg is now celebrating her 30th year as both rabbi and executive director at the Helene G. Simon Hillel Center. She will be honored April 26 at Campus Super Star 2020, Hillel’s annual fundraiser.

“There’s aspects of every job that are hard, but I just absolutely love what I do,” Silberberg said.

“It's not like coming to work every day. It's like coming to do something that’s so meaningful and so important and makes a difference in people’s lives.”

As executive director of Hillel, Silberberg counsels students, organizes religious services each week, oversees the center’s staff and plans events. She also performs pastoral duties as a rabbi, including leading holiday services and Shabbat dinners every Friday.

Silberberg said her 30 years at Hillel have gone by quickly.

“It’s wonderful, and I can’t believe it,” she said. “It’s crazy to me that I’ve been here for that long.”

Assistant Director of Hillel Jess Goldblatt has worked with Silberberg for more than three years.

He said he didn’t know anyone when he moved to Bloomington, and Silberberg welcomed him into the community.

“She’s been a role model to me professionally and personally,” Goldblatt said. “She embodies the values of our organization and emphasizes creating a home

away from home.”

Silberberg said the university lacked a strong Jewish community when she was an IU student.

After returning as executive director of IU Hillel, she sought to expand it.

“When I started here, there were about 500 Jewish students on campus, and my goal was to build up the Jewish community,” Silberberg said.

Hillel now serves more than 4,000 students, according to the organization’s website.

In 1993, Hillel began operating out of its new building, the Helene G. Simon Hillel Center.

The center allowed for growth of the Jewish community, Silberberg said.

“We could not imagine ever filling this space, but now we’re spilling at the seams,” Silberberg said. “Our dining room seats 100, and we often have between 200 and 300 come for Shabbat dinner.”

Development manager at IU Hillel Elana Huvard has worked with Silberberg for three years and said Silberberg spends much of her time nurturing students who come to Hillel.

“She’s passionate about what she does,” Huvard said. “Her energy never ceases.”

Silberberg said she was an active member of her Jewish youth group during high school and wanted to get more involved in the Jewish community when she came to IU. “I started taking Jewish studies to try to learn more,” Silberberg said. “I found that the more I

Community members march for MLK Day

By Carson TerBush cterbush@iu.edu | @_carsonology

Shouts of “Believe it, dream it, do it” and “Free at last” filled Seventh Street as more than 100 people joined in the Martin Luther King Jr. Day March from City Hall to the Indiana Memorial Union on Monday.

Sponsored by the Luddy Living Learning Center and the IU Gamma Eta chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha, the event started at 1 p.m. and ended in the Hoosier Room with refreshments catered by local businesses.

Treon McClendon, associate director of the Luddy LLC, said the purpose of the march was to bring people together and commemorate the life and work of King.

“The impact is going to be truly bringing everybody together, uplifting while continuing on Dr. King’s dream,” McClendon said. “I think that right now, our community needs things like this more than ever.”

McClendon said he helped IU students Jordan Williams, Gamma Eta chapter president, and Donald Nash, Luddy LLC community chair, plan the march over the past SEE MARCH, PAGE 8

IU looks to rebound against rival Purdue

By Aiden Kantner akantner@iu.edu | @aidenkantner

The No. 5 IU men’s swim and dive team will look to extend its win streak over Purdue to ten consecutive meets Saturday, dating back to Feb. 5, 2011.

The Hoosiers will return home to the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatics Center for the first time in 77 days. The last time they swam competitively in Bloomington was in a tri-meet Nov. 9 with the University of Texas and University of Louisville.

IU’s last meet was Jan. 11, when it lost to No. 3 Michigan in Ann Arbor 160-140. It was its first defeat in a dual meet since it lost to Auburn University on the road Nov. 7, 2015.

In its last meet, the Purdue men's team won 13 events on its way to a 184-113 win over Michigan State in West Lafayette, Indiana. Sophomore All-American Nikola Acin made his season debut against the Spartans, sweeping the freestyle sprints for the Boilermakers.

The freestyle sprints will be tightly contested Saturday with a combined eight NCAA B-cuts between the two teams, along with Acin. The sophomore returned from injury and had not posted a time all season before the meet against MSU. Purdue sophomore Ryan Hrosik, who finished second behind Acin in both the 50 and 100 freestyle against Michigan State, is third in the conference in the 50 free with a time of 19.51 seconds.

Junior Bruno Blaskovic and senior Mohamed Samy will be the top competitors for the Hoosiers.

Blaskovic has the fourth-best time in the Big Ten in the 50 free, with a time of 19.61 seconds, as well as the top time in the conference for the 100 free at 42.44 seconds.

Samy's time of 42.74 ranks third in the conference.

Junior diver Greg Duncan has eight individual wins this season, the most on Purdue’s team. The NCAA Championships qualifier posted scores of 304.9 and 375.35 in the 1-meter and 3-meter springboard events against Michigan State, respectively.

He will compete against reigning Big Ten Diver of the Week Mory Gould Jr. who set NCAA Zone qualifying scores and personal-best marks in both events against Michigan. Along with Gould, both sophomore Cole VanDevender and junior Sheamus Scotty have qualified for the NCAA Zone Championships in the springboard events.

After setting six NCAA B-cut times against Michigan, IU will look to add upon their 46 B-cuts and push into the A-cut times, which SEE SWIM AND DIVE, PAGE 8

Father and son shot in misfire

By Ben Price beprice@iu.edu | @bbenpprice54

A 4-year-old boy and his father were shot in the head Sunday on the 1200 block of East Zinnia Drive after a gun went off while the two were play-wrestling, according to a press release from the Monroe County Sheriff ’s Office.

Police said the father, 36, was carrying a concealed handgun on his back.

The father and son were not identified in the release. During the wrestling, the gun fell, resulting in one shot being discharged. Police are still investigating how the gun was fired.

The father and son were transported to IU Health Bloomington Hospital, police said. The father was then transported to IU Health Methodist and is expected to recover. The son was transported to Riley Children’s Hospital, where he remains in critical care.

A group of women cheer as they find out which sorority their Rho Gamma leader is in Jan. 21 in the IU Tennis Center. Potential new members did not know which sorority their leader was in during recruitment.

By Cate Charron catcharr@iu.edu | @catecharron

A Panhellenic Association member started counting down on the microphone. Potential new members filled three tennis courts while they waited to find out which sorority bid was in their envelopes.

Some were already screaming because they could see through the paper.

Twenty-two sororities gained 1,188 new members Tuesday night at the IU Tennis Center. This is the end of a two-week recruitment process that started Jan. 8.

Bid Night is the last day of recruitment, when potential new members receive letters telling them which sorority invited them to join.

The crowd yelled and jumped up and down with their bid letters in hand. Many women said they were excited to have new friends and be part of the greek community.

“I’m excited to get to know all my sisters and the lifelong friends that come with it,” said Bayli Toy, a new member of Chi Omega.

Rho Gamma Recruitment Director Rachel Clark said the Panhellenic Association has organized 50 activities for PNMs in two weeks as part of the recruitment process. The preparation has stretched through the whole fall semester, including organizing classes for Rho Gammas and planning events. Rho Gammas are members who temporar-

ily disaffiliate from their sororities to lead potential new members through the recruitment process .

Freshman Nicole Russnak is a new member of Gamma Phi Beta. She said she had no words for how she felt after opening her bid letter.

“I have a new home,” Russnak said. “It’s a good feeling being surrounded by people who want the same thing as me.”

Rho Gamma Lauren Miele said she knew how stressful the process was and wanted to use her experience to help the potential new members through it.

Earlier in the night, Rho Gammas revealed which sorority they belonged to. During recruitment, potential new members aren't told which sorority their Rho Gammas belong to in order to ensure they receive unbiased tours and advice.

Many were relieved the recruitment process was finally over.

“It was probably the most stressful experience in my life,” said Alicia Kleckner, a new Alpha Delta Pi member.

The night ended with chapter leaders, Rho Gammas and new members being escorted onto buses to be taken to individual celebrations for each sorority. Clark said new members will meet the women in their chapters for a night of fun and food.

Zeta Tau Alpha member and senior Emily Sanner had a word of advice for new members: “Cherish every moment because it goes by quick.”

IU won't require test scores in applications

By Natalie Gabor natgabor@iu.edu | @natalie_gabor

The Bloomington Faculty Council unanimously approved a plan at its Tuesday meeting to no longer require prospective undergraduate students to submit standardized test scores.

Changes to the admissions policy were introduced to encourage students to apply who otherwise might not due to costs such as SAT prep.

Applicants who were home-schooled, attended a school where traditional grades were not assigned or are prospective Division I athletes will still be required to submit test scores.

IU is working on implementing the changes immediately, BFC President Diane Henshel said in an email to the Indiana Daily Student.

“The other portions of their application do get higher consideration, so they need to stop and reflect on which category will be best for them to highlight,” said J Duncan, co-chair of the Educational Policies Committee.

If students decline to submit scores, preference will be given to those whose GPA is a 3.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale, according to the

revised undergraduate admissions policy.

Though the university will no longer require applicants to submit test scores, Sacha Thieme, assistant vice provost and executive director of admissions, said students still need to be able to demonstrate academic achievement. Other indicators of academic achievement include grades and class rank, according to the revised policy.

“If you are removing one factor, which is not insubstantial, we need to know that you are stating the rest of your academic profile will hold that up,” Thieme said.

Provost Lauren Robel said this policy may not change much in the minds of students.

“When students make decisions, they are not looking at internal policy documents, Robel said. "They are looking at published averages of students who are already there.”

The council also outlined efforts to improve sustainability at IU and discussed IU-East Richmond's sustainability resolution.

Andrew Predmore, director of Sustainability at IU, detailed plans to reduce landfill waste, increase the percentage of faculty and staff who

Hilltop Garden and Nature Center invited volunteers to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday at the center on East 10th Street by creating plant growing kits for local schools.

This is the 11th year Hilltop Garden has arranged the event. The event went from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and produced approximately 6,000 seed packets for 2,000 students. Kits are free to teachers in Monroe, Lawrence, Greene, Brown and Owen counties.

Manager Kaylie Scherer said it’s great to help local students, especially during Martin Luther King Jr. Day. “It’s a good opportunity for students and the community to give back,” Scherer said.

In 2019, Hilltop Garden sent kits into 145 classrooms in 37 schools.

The kits provide teachers with a hands-on activity for their students to learn about plants, biology and nutrition, according to a press release from Hilltop Garden.

Each kit has a packet of peas, lettuce and kale, soil, a growing tray and instructions. Cook Medical donated unused plastic trays to be repurposed into the growing trays for students.

About 75 people volunteered throughout the day, including IU students, staff and community members.

Georgia Vaught is part of the Monroe County Master Gardener Association. She works at Hilltop year-round in the tea and pollinator gardens, but also volunteers at the center. She said it was good to see such a big group come to volunteer.

Various groups volunteered at the event including 4-H Club Junior Leaders, First United Methodist Church, Master Gardeners, Hanapin Marketing and Civic Leadership Development at IU. IU freshman Noah Kaufman said he volunteered at the event because he’s part of IU’s Civic Leadership Development club.

He said it was meaningful to volunteer on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. “It’s important because Martin Luther King Jr. was dedicated to service, so we are honoring his legacy,” Kaufman said.

The IU East Sustainability Resolution set a goal of making its campus carbon neutral by 2040, meaning it will completely compensate for its atmospheric carbon emissions. Henshel said IU East asked all IU campuses to consider putting forward their own sustainability resolutions.

IU ready for challenge Michigan State presents

Maryland defense forces third straight IU loss

By Phillip Steinmetz

By Sam Bodnar

psteinme@iu.edu | @PhillipHoosier

Sbodnar@iu.edu | @sgbod13

IU men’s basketball head coach Archie Miller said he sees No. 11 Michigan State as the heavyweight champs.

The Spartans sit alone on top of the Big Ten standings and are the highest-ranked team in the conference. Michigan State was the preseason No. 1 team in the country and has been consistently been one of the top teams in the Big Ten under head coach Tom Izzo.

IU comes into the home matchup Thursday night with momentum after defeating Nebraska in its first true road win of the season. There’s been a lot of parity among conference opponents, but Miller called Michigan State the most consistent team so far in the Big Ten. “If you can’t come off the mat a few times, they are going to run you down,” Miller said.

Last season, IU swept Michigan State to pick up a pair of top-10 wins. Both games came down to the wire, but IU was able to hold on.

Then-sophomore forward Justin Smith led the Hoosiers in game two with 24 points and three made 3-pointers. Despite the scoring from Smith, it was then-freshman guard Rob Phinisee who put the game away. Phinisee defended Michigan State’s thenjunior guard Cassius Winston in the final seconds. He forced Winston to take a difficult, fading jumper that hit off the rim.

Phinisee has been back in the starting lineup for the past three games for IU and could be tasked with defending Winston once again.

“I think we are really go-

Sophomore guard Grace Berger received the ball off an inbound pass and was swarmed by white jerseys.

There was nowhere to go — no open teammates and no Hoosiers rotating to the ball.

Forced turnovers handed No. 17 IU women’s basketball a 76-62 loss Monday against No. 20 Maryland.

This was IU’s third consecutive loss and its eighth straight to Maryland.

Berger and junior guard Ali Patberg were dominated by a full court press that forced bad passes and backcourt violations. When the Hoosiers managed to get the ball across the midcourt line, the possessions ended with contested shots or shot clock violations.

The Terrapins posted two defenders on whichever Hoosier inbounded the ball and forced her into a corner.

Whether it was Berger or Patberg, the Hoosiers were stranded and committed a handful of early turnovers that set up the Terrapins’ offense.

In the first half, only one of IU’s eight baskets came from an assist. Maryland, on the other hand, scored 14 points off IU turnovers.

Maryland opened the game on an 8-0 run and was led by sophomore forward Shakira Austin and senior forward Stephanie Jones.

Austin towered over IU forwards and took over in the paint. She prevented second-chance opportunities and used her long arms to reach above the hands of IU defenders. The sophomore finished the night with 22 points.

Jones set high screens to free up her teammates for easy shots near the basket.

The forward also took advantage of mismatches to post up on Hoosier guards, finishing with 12 points and

ing to have to get back,” Miller said. “We are going to have to rebound, and we are really going to have to deal with Cassius Winston in this game, in terms of being not able to allow him to just pick us apart.”

IU’s defense has improved with Phinisee in its lineup.

The Hoosiers have held three of their last five opponents to shoot less than 40% from

the field. Defensive play has been key to keep IU in games when the offense has been in a slump.

On defense, IU will also have to worry about Michigan State junior forward Xavier Tillman and sophomore guard Aaron Henry. In Michigan State’s loss at Purdue, Tillman and Henry combined for 11 points.

In the six Big Ten victories, Michigan State failed to score less than 70 points once but still held Wisconsin to 55 points. The offensive attack has been consistently strong for Michigan State, but Miller said he believes his team’s defense has improved.

“We went from a bad defensive team in November, to an average defensive team in

December, to now as January has grown, pretty good,” Miller said.

This will also be the only time the Hoosiers will face the Spartans in the regular season. A win could go a long way by the time March comes around.

If IU wants to continue climbing the Big Ten rankings and find some separation

from the middle of the conference, it’ll begin with Michigan State.

“It doesn’t have anything to do with X’s and O’s, it has everything to do with when you come into the right, are you ready to go?” Miller said.

“Because they’re going to throw some serious haymakers and some body blows at you.”

IU holds on to defeat Nebraska in overtime at home

By Phillip Steinmetz psteinme@iu.edu | @PhillipHoosier

IU men’s basketball fans have a nickname for sophomore guard Rob Phinisee.

It started last season when he hit a buzzer-beating 3-point shot in the Crossroads Classic against Butler University. And on Friday night, fans took to social media to praise his late game heroics once again.

“Big shot Rob” scored seven of his 16 points in overtime to help IU escape its Big Ten home opener against Nebraska with a 9690 win. It included a shotclock-beating 3-pointer that gave IU a 6-point lead. The Hoosiers led by at least two points throughout overtime and outscored the Cornhuskers 14-8.

“Sometimes when you’re at home, you get into overtime, it turns into that. Wow, I can’t believe we’re here,” IU head coach Archie Miller said.

“They didn’t do that. Came out, really responded. Got off to a great start. Played hard all the way through, especially that last four minutes.”

The beginning of the game was something different than IU has experienced recently.

Against Florida State University, Wisconsin and the University of Connecticut, IU trailed early. Each time, IU

had to play from behind the remainder of the first half just to have a fighting chance going forward.

This time around, it was IU that got out to the fast start with an 11-2 run to start the game. The Hoosiers were taking advantage of a 4-5 Cornhuskers team that lost two prior road games.

With IU up 13-6, Miller elected to replace four starters. It was a decision that gave Nebraska the opportunity to get back in the game as it went on a 10-0 run. From that moment, neither team managed to pull away.

In the first half, junior guard Al Durham was the only player who got much footing within the offense.

But freshman forward Trayce Jackson-Davis eventually found the confidence he needed to take over.

He scored 22 points in the second half and overtime alone while grabbing 15 rebounds to secure his fifth double-double of the season through 11 games. He consistently dominated Nebraska in the paint and was the offensive presence IU relied on to stay in the game.

“In the first half I didn’t really try to put an emphasis on running the floor very hard, and I thought I could beat my man down the floor,” JacksonDavis said. “In the second

six rebounds.

In addition to its struggles to bring the ball up the floor, IU sunk just two shots in the second quarter.

Patberg drew a foul and made a layup in the opening minute. Berger would make a jumper a few minutes later. The duo of Jones and Austin propelled Maryland ahead in the second quarter and kept IU from scoring further.

The story was much of the same for the Hoosiers in the second half. Turnovers plagued its offense, and the lockdown Terrapin defense

in the paint kept the Hoosier forwards inactive.

Sophomore guard Taylor Mikesell added Maryland’s lead with a strong performance from 3-point range.

Mikesell shot 80% from behind the arc and finished with 16 points.

Berger managed to increase the tempo and break through the full court press in the second half. She knocked down jump shots in traffic and finished with 21 points.

Freshman forward Mackenzie Holmes — the Big Ten Co-Freshman of

the Week — fouled out with eight points and six rebounds. She was doubleteamed below the rim and kept silent by Maryland.

Senior forward Brenna Wise was scoreless in her 14-minute start. Junior guard Bendu Yeaney and freshman forward Jorie Allen put up just two points apiece in their 15 and 16 minutes respectively.

IU has now lost five games to top-25 teams this season. It will play its final game of a two-game road stand Thursday against Penn State.

Despite the performances from Jackson-Davis and Phinisee, the Cornhuskers took advantage of turnovers and late clock management.

The Hoosiers had a 6-point lead with 42 seconds remain-

ing but couldn’t put it away.

Nebraska hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to force the game into overtime. Miller acknowledged how fortunate his team was to survive after the sequence of events.

When Miller left the press room after speaking to the media, he let out a sigh

as he walked out the door.

His team won, but he admitted if they lost, it would’ve been all on him.

Miller felt he could have handled the final seconds of regulation better. He could have called a timeout, saving Durham from committing a foul on a three-point shot.

But it didn’t matter in the end.

Miller’s team found a way.

“At the end of the day, you’re playing a Big Ten Conference game in early December,” Miller said.

“Our entire league’s going through it right now. When you play these games, it’s just a different feeling.”

ousing air

The formula for IU men’s basketball’s offensive success seems to be a simple one: get the ball inside — preferably to freshman forward Trayce Jackson-Davis — and allow the bigs to go to work.

Coming out of the half against Nebraska on Saturday night, the Hoosiers showed a concerted effort of getting touches to their forwards, sparking a 16-2 run that barely got them over the finish line as IU defeated the Cornhuskers 82-74. As Jackson-Davis and junior center Joey Brunk continually got touches in the opening minutes of the second half, IU quickly turned a five-point lead into 19.

“In the second half, I thought our big guys did a great job of commanding the ball,” IU head coach Archie Miller said.

While Brunk continued a strong run of performances with 16 points, Jackson-Davis for the first time in almost two weeks looked like the

confident player who dominated earlier in the year as he recorded his sixth doubledouble of the season with 18 points and 13 rebounds.

During the first 10 minutes of the second half, JacksonDavis adapted to the pressure Nebraska sent to the low-post.

IU’s opponents have started to zero in on the freshman and send double teams whenever he catches the ball, and Jackson-Davis has struggled to adjust and produce at the level

the Hoosiers need.

“It’s tough, especially as a freshman, when you get scouted and it shows on the court,” senior guard Devonte Green said during Friday’s press conference. “I guess during real-time, I just tell him, ‘Don’t force anything that’s not there, and, like it will come to you.”

teams, crippling IU’s offense.

Against the Cornhuskers, Jackson-Davis had a much better feel for the traps awaiting him than he has in the past. Jackson-Davis showed composure in the face of Nebraska’s pressure, spinning out of double teams and finishing around the basket.

Jackson-Davis’ poise also allowed him to be a facilitator for IU — something we hadn’t seen much this season — as he found open teammates on the perimeter, allowing IU to shoot more than 30% from three for only the second time in Big Ten play.

Jackson-Davis figuring out how to deal with the double-teams opponents have thrown at him recently will be important for the Hoosiers’ success as they try keep pace with the top of the conference.

“Played as well as we probably have offensively on the road in a while,” Miller said.

“Can’t put a price on a game in this league if you’re able to win it away from home.”

By Ben Price beprice@iu.edu | @bbenpprice54

The Monroe County Youth Council sponsored its Martin Luther King Jr. Student Action Day on Monday afternoon at the Lincoln Street Boys and Girls Club.

The event was meant to provide students with a greater understanding of social justice, especially injustices that are overshadowed, such as period poverty, which is a lack of access to menstrual products due to financial poverty and the stigma against periods.

Three students gave speeches about a social injustice they think others should be educated about, such as period poverty, activism against environmental injustices and declining accessibility to music education in schools.

The Monroe County Youth Council is an organization that offers students leadership and volunteer opportunities and the chance to make a difference in the community.

Lucy Schaich, director of the City of Bloomington Volunteer Network said the event was proposed by the

children as a way to address social justice.

“They really wanted to explore some of the things that often are on the sidelines,” Schaich said.

Bloomington High School South junior Lena Lin said a lot of topics people don’t normally associate with social justice have social injustices. She referenced the lack of access to music education in schools and period poverty as examples of topics people don’t normally think about.

Students were sprawled out on the gym floor, writing letters to government officials. Others put together “period packages” of liners, pads and tampons for those in need.

Joslin Nguyen, a 17-yearold Bloomington High School North senior, sat on the floor writing a letter about period poverty to Republican Rep. Trey Hollingsworth, who represents Bloomington’s district.

“I didn’t know that people could change the government’s mind,” Nguyen said. “If we weren’t here, I probably wouldn’t have been writing letters to representatives.”

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Airlines would no longer be required to consider emotional support animals as service animals under new rules proposed Jan. 22 by the U.S. Department of Transportation. The proposal must undergo a public comment phase before being finalized.

CHICAGO — Airlines would no longer be required to accommodate emotional support animals under new federal rules proposed Wednesday seeking to rein in passengers who try to bring their pets on board.

The U.S. Department of Transportation said it “wants to ensure that individuals with disabilities can continue using their service animals while also reducing the likelihood that passengers wishing to travel with their pets on aircraft will be able to falsely claim their pets are service animals.”

Federal laws currently require airlines to permit passengers with disabilities to travel with service and

emotional support animals in the cabin, though support animals don’t have to have the specialized training service animals receive.

Unlike pets, service and support animals fly at no added fee.

U.S. airlines have already been tightening rules for emotional support animals over the past couple years, citing an increase in problems with animals in the cabin as they have become more common on flights. Airlines limited the number of support animals passengers could travel with and barred more exotic support animals travelers attempted to bring aboard, such as peacocks, turkeys and snakes.

Transportation officials

said last year they were working on new rules for service animals. Under the proposal, which must undergo a public comment phase before being finalized, airlines wouldn’t be required to treat emotional support animals differently than a household pet.

The proposal would define a service animal as a dog “individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of a person with a disability.” Psychiatric service animals would have the same requirements as other service animals.

That means airlines wouldn’t be required to fly other kinds of service animals, such as miniature horses. They would also be

able to limit passengers to two service animals that fit within the traveler’s foot space on the aircraft.

Airlines would be allowed to require passengers to submit forms developed by the transportation department attesting to the animal’s good behavior, health and ability to either not relieve itself or do so in a sanitary way on long flights.

Carriers could also require travelers with service animals to check in an hour before other passengers to allow time to process the animal’s documents, the transportation department said.

The Pipsqueakery expands to hold more animals

By Ben Price beprice@iu.edu | @bbenpprice54

The Pipsqueakery, a Bloomington animal shelter that rehabilitates small animals and rodents is building an expansion to house hundreds more animals. The Pipsqueakery announced Jan. 10 its plans to build a formal building for its animals. The new facility, located on a 15 acre-property on the south side of Monroe County on Rockport Road, will have more room for animals.

The current facility only has room to house 100 to 150 animals, but the new location is expected to hold 500 to 700, said co-owner Alex Hernly. The numbers depend on the species of animals being housed as they each have their own needs. She said the shelter has to turn away about two dozen animals a week because their current location does not have space to keep animals not suffering from lifelong illnesses. A few “foster homes” help by hosting animals that don’t need

been a foster parent to four rabbits. She said rabbits and rodents are neglected in the world of rescue animals.

“Most people think of cats and dogs, and they don’t so

much think of these smaller animals,” she said.

The Pipsqueakery sanctuary has operated out of the basement of Hernly and her husband Jason Minsterket-

ter’s home since 2014.

“It’s a hobby that sort of took over our lives,” Minsterketter said.

More space will also allow the shelter to bring in volunteers from the community and educational events.

“We try to provide access to education and tools to help people with their pet problems,” Minsterketter said.

Some of the animals at the Pipsqueakery return to animal adoption centers after they have been healed, though the majority will need to be in a sanctuary for the rest of their lives, Hernly said.

She said in 2019 the Pipsqueakery brought in $11,866.96 solely from people who donated $10 or less.

The veterinarian appointments, surgeries and medications are expensive, but possible with the Pipsqueakery Etsy store and donations from supporters on social media, Hernly said.

In the Etsy store they sell merchandise such as T-shirts, mugs and stickers from Winnie Kan, an artist based in Indonesia.

At the beginning of the march, Williams gave a speech about the importance of community in the wake of events such as the Black Lives Matter movement, the controversy surrounding Colin Kaepernick and more locally, the recent dispute about IU professor Eric Rasmusen.

“It’s really to show unity more than anything,” Williams said. “In today’s day and age, there’s a lot going on, so showing a united front is a great way to spend the day off from school.”

After Williams’ speech, the crowd participated in a moment of silence for King before starting the march.

“We’re doing this march to show people that they have a community to reach out to,” Nash said.

IU senior David Harrison said he heard about the march from his involvement with the National Society of Black Engineers.

“I think that this was a very good event for us to all be able to come together, unite amongst each other and be able to march for a good cause and just not spend this day doing nothing,” Harrison said.

Actress Viola Davis speaks Jan. 20 in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall for “An Afternoon With Viola Davis: A Day of Commemoration.” Davis was awarded an honorary doctoral degree in fine arts from IU.

Viola Davis receives honorary doctorate IU President Michael McRobbie presented Davis with an honorary doctorate of fine arts. Her speech was part of the university-wide Day of Commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and IU’s bicentennial.

By Kyra Miller kymill@iu.edu | @kyra_ky94

Academy Award-winning actress, producer and philanthropist Viola Davis gave a keynote lecture Monday about her own experiences and the effect Martin Luther King Jr. had on society.

Before Davis’ speech at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, IU President Michael McRobbie presented her with an honorary doctorate of fine arts. The lecture was part of the university-wide Day of Commemoration of the bicentennial and Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The honorary doctorate is the highest academic achievement IU can offer, McRobbie said.

McRobbie and James Wimbush, IU vice president of diversity, equity and multicultural affairs, introduced Davis and presented her with her doctorate.

During her speech, Davis spoke about her own history. She grew up in Central Falls, Rhode Island, with her parents and seven siblings. She said she overcame poverty, adversity and trauma before realizing she wanted to become an actress.

Davis also spoke about the effect Martin Luther King Jr. had on society.

One moment in King’s career Davis said she is inspired by was his fight for sanitation workers to earn a living wage in Memphis, Tennessee. Davis said King reminds her of how important it is to fight for those who are less fortunate than yourself.

“Is it your job to pick up a diploma or a sword?” Davis said. “And when you pick up that sword, what will you be fighting for?”

We live in a world in need of heroes, she said. Someone who is heroic must overcome whatever trivial or traumatic past they have and become someone new. She said it was an important step for her, and that it will be an important step for others.

“There is an old saying about the two most important days of your life being the day you are born and the day you find out why,” Davis said. “You were born to live a life greater than your own.”

Her philanthropic work is inspired by the trauma she went through in her childhood, Davis said. Now that she is successful, she said it is important to her to give back to those who need her help, those she shared similar experiences with.

In 2012, Davis and her husband founded JuVee, an artist-driven production company focused on giving a voice to the voiceless through effective and culturally relevant narratives, according to an IU press release.

Davis is the first black actor to win Oscar, Emmy and Tony Awards. In 2015, she was the first black actress to win the Primetime Emmy Award for outstanding lead actress in the drama series “How to Get Away With Murder.”

“Viola Davis is one of our nation’s finest and most accomplished actors,

also become a forceful voice for women and women of color, challenging media stereotypes and championing the need for equal opportunities.

IU prepares for two-match road trip

By Tyler Tachman ttachman@iu.edu | @Tyler_T15

After losing to Purdue 23-9 on Monday night, IU will travel again as its conference season continues.

The Hoosiers will head to Piscataway, New Jersey, to face off against Rutgers on Friday, then clash with Maryland on Sunday in College Park.

Almost halfway through conference play, IU is still winless overall and sits at the bottom of the Big Ten standings.

Rutgers holds an even 2-2 conference mark, with wins against Maryland and Michigan State and losses to No. 3 Ohio State and No. 2 Penn State.

Overall, the Scarlet Knights enter with a dual match record of 7-3.

Like IU, Rutgers has a young team this season. However, the Scarlet Knights have three freshmen that are currently ranked in the top-25 in their respective weight classes.

Rutgers redshirt freshman Nicolas Aguilar holds an unscathed conference dual match record of 4-0 in the 125-pound weight class.

While Aguilar is ranked No. 14, he will face a more experienced wrestler in IU junior Liam Cronin. In the match against Purdue, Cronin picked up his first Big Ten conference dual meet win of the year.

Another victory from Cronin could give IU a boost to pull off an upset this weekend.

“It felt good because this whole way I thought that I deserved to be there,” Cronin said after Monday’s match agaisnt Purdue. “I put in the hard work. My confidence has been there.

It felt good to finally break through and see my results match my hard work.”

Rutgers has more young talent in No. 10 freshman Sammy Alvarez at 133 pounds and No. 23 redshirt freshman Billy Janzer at 184 pounds. Alvarez downed No. 20 Jordan Decatur from Ohio State earlier this season, and Janzer leads the team in dual match wins with nine.

Alvarez will have a key matchup with IU freshman Cayden Rooks at 133 pounds. Rooks picked up victories in consecutive conference matches over

the last week and cemented his starting spot in the weight class.

The Rutgers lineup is anchored by 197-pound graduate student Jordan Pagano.

Ranked No. 18, Pagano was granted a sixth year of eligibility but has yet to collect his first conference dual win

this season.

Despite the team’s record, IU head coach Angel Escobedo said he’s seen IU continue to progress over the course of the four conference matches, each time taking a step in the right direction.

“The big thing that I no-

ticed from Northwestern to now, we’re putting together ranked wins from guys that weren’t winning in the past,” Escobedo said.

The Hoosiers have struggled to close out matches, leaving them unable to finally break through with their first team victory this

season. Against Purdue, IU dropped two matches in the sudden victory period, and two other matches were decided by three points or less.

“We can’t dwell on it,” Cronin said. “It’s in the past now, but I definitely think our guys need to have that killer mindset.”

Three things to know before IU travels to Alabama cessful

By Luke Lusson llusson@iu.edu | @LukeLusson

IU will travel this weekend and take on the University of Alabama and the University of Alabama at Birmingham Saturday in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

The match against Alabama is set to start at 10 a.m., with the match against UAB scheduled at 2 p.m. Ahead of this weekend’s matches, here are three things to know: IU’s first road test With five newcomers on this year’s roster, including four true freshmen, IU head coach Ramiro Azcui said how important maturity and becoming acclimated to college tennis will be for his team this season.

With the first weekend of competitive indoor tennis now over, IU will be tasked with playing on the road for the first time this year. Not only that, but while having to play Alabama, who Azcui says is a top 35 team in the nation.

Doubles pairings prove suc-

Azcui said he spent much of the fall searching for potential doubles combinations, and a few stood out after after the team’s first competition of the season. Freshmen Rose Hu and Mila Mejic went 4-0 together at the IU Winter Invitational on Jan. 18-20. Freshman Lexi Kubas and junior Michelle McKamey also went 4-0 as doubles partners.

Alabama’s experience Unlike IU, Alabama’s upperclassmen outnumber its underclassmen, and half of its players are seniors. It’s a contrast to an IU roster that is made up of four freshmen and a graduate transfer.

So far this season, the Crimson Tide have yet to lose a match. They beat both Kennesaw State University and Alabama A&M University this past Sunday.

Alabama’s talent, experience and home court advantage should make for a significant early season challenge for the visiting IU women’s tennis team this weekend

NATIONAL SPORTS COLUMN

MEN’S TENNIS

Beckham Jr. incident exemplifies the beauty of college football Bradley Hohulin is a freshman in marketing.

In the moments after the final whistle at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, the Louisiana State University Tigers were crowned national champions Jan. 13 following a 42-25 conquest of Clemson University.

And the events that followed their victory showcased the extent to which fans will go for college football.

In case the blizzard of purple and gold confetti was insufficient, Odell Beckham Jr., Cleveland Browns wide receiver and LSU alumnus, was about to ensure the Tigers knew they were football royalty.

Beckham bestowed congratulations to junior wide receiver Justin Jefferson.

Among the smiles exchanged before the cameras was that of Benjamin Franklin, peering from the stack of $100 bills that Beckham thrust into Jefferson’s hands.

The postgame festivities continued into the LSU locker room, where the victors drifted atop a cloud nine of celebratory cigar fumes.

When stadium security arrived to inform the Tigers that not even NCAA champions were allowed to smoke indoors, a jovial Beckham gave one unlucky guard a swipe on his hindquarters.

This article is meant neither to debate the legitimacy nor the morality of Beckham’s alleged wrongdoings.

Instead, I wish to suggest that this is a prime example of what makes college football America’s finest sport.

The university was quick to insist the curious green papers doled out to its athletes were just that and nothing more. However, this testimony was challenged on the “Pardon My Take” podcast

by LSU’s own golden-boy,

quarterback Joe Burrow, who claimed the cash was no Monopoly money.

In the case of the spanking, a warrant was issued by the New Orleans Police Department for Beckham’s arrest. The warrant was recalled shortly thereafter when the man Beckham spanked chose not to pursue charges.

Beckham has been criticized by his former head coach Ben McAdoo and quarterback Eli Manning for his volatile behavior.

Writers, pundits and people who think they are pundits have long condoned Beckham’s flirtatious relationship with scandal.

Point is, Beckham’s reputation is already buckling under the weight of his actions. Poking the starving bear that is the NCAA by seemingly giving money to an athlete who had not so much as unlaced his cleats was risky at best.

Beckham’s locker room shenanigans, meanwhile, could have been careerending. These incidents may speak to the Beckham’s character, but they undoubtedly scream the truth that college football exerts an overwhelming power over its fanbase.

Take, for instance, Shalene Ernsberger. Ernsberger was escorted off the University of Buffalo’s home turf in 2017 after leading a onewoman charge onto the field. Why? Her baby brother, tight end Donnie Ernsberger, had just scored his second touchdown of the day for the visiting Western Michigan University.

Four years prior, a San Antonio pizza parlor known simply as Big Lou’s made a menu change in honor of Texas A&M University’s appearance in the Cotton Bowl.

The result was a 62-inch mosaic of mozzarella and marinara with the Aggies’ logo

artfully replicated with slices of pepperoni.

Whether the pie itself was anything more than an unevenly cooked culinary Frankenstein is unknown. What is certain is that college football can stoke blazing fires in both hearts and brick ovens.

The sport’s allure even pierced the stony exterior of economic turmoil during the Occupy Wall Street movement in 2011. One disgruntled Texan was seen amid the cavalcade of protesters brandishing signs inspired by those featured on ESPN’s College Gameday.

The Longhorn faithful represented similarly important causes with messages like “Our economy is crashing at SEC speed,” written in capitalized letters and “No Jobs + No showers: Occupy Wall Street or Occupy Alabama Tailgate?” Though his identity went undiscovered, this gridiron activist could’ve been any one of countless individuals seeking levity in a troubled time through sports.

Hardly anyone remembers Shalene Ernsberger’s name. Big Lou’s laboratory experiment has long since passed through our collective thoughts and, in the case of a fortunate few, intestines.

The acts performed in the name of college football all too often have little longterm reward, and in the case of Beckham, could yield serious consequences.

Yet the fact that fans continue to risk money, bodily harm and the occasional sleepover at the local jail to support their favorite school is a testament to the endurance of the sport. No matter what hot-button issues or watershed controversies arise, so long as it maintains its full-moon-like effect over the crazed loyalist in all of us, the greatest game in the states is going nowhere. bhohulin@iu.edu

IU senior Bennett Crane leaps for the ball in a match against the University of Memphis on Jan. 17 at the IU Tennis Center. IU will play the University of Texas at Austin on Saturday in Austin, Texas.

IU hits the road to face Texas

By Joshua Manes jamanes@iu.edu | @TheManesEvent

IU men’s tennis will hit the road for the first time this season Saturday heading down to the University of Texas at Austin for a four-team singleelimination tournament as part of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Kick-Off Weekend. The Hoosiers will face the defending national champions.

Second in the preseason rankings, Texas will be the presumptive top team in the country after defeating No. 1 University of Florida last week.

Texas is arguably the most talented roster IU will face all season, with three players ranked in the top 60 in the nation, No. 2 Yuya Ito, No. 13 Christian Sigsgaard and No. 53 Siem Woldeab.

Ito, Sigsgaard and Woldeab also make up three of Texas’ four top 50 doubles pairings, No. 4 Sigsgaard and Ito, No. 23 Sigsgaard and Woldeab and No. 38 Ito and Woldeab. No. 46 Jacob Bullard and Eshan Talluri are the Longhorns’ other ranked pair.

“We know it’s a tough task, but we’re going to have fun,” IU head coach Jeremy Wurtzman said of the upcoming matches. “We’re going to go

swing away and see if we can get a few matches.”

IU showed the ability to take down top-ranked talent last week in a 4-3 win against the University of Memphis.

Seniors Bennett Crane and Zac Brodney defeated the No. 21 doubles pair Oscar Cutting and David Stevenson 6-4.

Crane and Brodney have shared the court since they were freshman.

“It was pretty natural for us,” Crane said after the match against Memphis. “Hopefully we’ll be able to carry that into the next match.”

Crane, the No. 66 singles player in the nation, also has recent success against ranked opponents. Crane defeated then-No. 40 Athell Bennett from Purdue in October en route to a runner-up finish at the ITA Ohio Valley Regional Championship.

The weekend’s matches are part of the ITA Kick-Off Weekend. The event consists of 60 schools at 15 sites taking part in single-elimination tournaments. The winners will earn a spot on Feb. 14-17 at the National Indoor Championship in Madison, Wisconsin.

The Kick-off is different than most collegiate tournaments. Each of the regional locations were decided at

FEBRUARY 7, 8, 14, 15 7:30 PM

a draft in June. The top 15 teams have home-court advantage for each regional, while the remaining teams chose which regional they will play in.

Joining IU and Texas are Florida State University and Vanderbilt University. IU last faced Vanderbilt in 2018, losing 5-2, and has not faced Texas or Florida State this century.

“We have the philosophy that we want to really be challenged at the highest possible level in our out-of-conference schedule,” Wurtzman said.

“We feel that Texas, Vanderbilt, Florida State are among the best in the country and difficult to get on our schedule.”

Florida State finished just outside the top 25 last season at No. 26, and received top 25 votes in the preseason. The Seminoles have one ranked singles player, No. 92 RanaRoop Singh Bhular.

IU has the longest distance to travel of the teams, approximately 200 miles further than both Florida State and Vanderbilt.

All four teams are undefeated heading into the weekend, but only one will still have a spotless record and a ticket to Madison at the start of next week.

JAC’S FACTS

JONAH’S JUSTIFICATIONS

Black students’ mental health needs more attention Jaclyn Ferguson is a junior in journalism.

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Martin Luther King Jr. speaks to thousands during his “I Have a Dream” speech Aug. 28, 1963, in front of the Lincoln Memorial for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in Washington.

MLK’s fight for economic justice should not be forgotten Jonah Hyatt is a junior in political science and philosophy.

Martin Luther King Jr. was one of the twentieth century’s biggest advocates for civil rights, social justice and equal protection under the law for all.

This Martin Luther King Jr. Day, don’t forget King’s fight for the working class.

When reflecting on King’s legacy, most commentators praise his fight for equal rights and treatment of black Americans under the law. However, King was far more than an advocate for racial justice: He was also a key fighter against American imperialism and the deep-seated economic injustices experienced by the working class.

This major part of his legacy is mostly ignored almost every year in media coverage. Some political pundits go so far as to say King was a Republican. In fact, King had no party affiliation but selfdescribed as much “more socialistic in his economic theory.”

Judging by his vigorously anti-establishment and antiimperialist policy positions, it is clear that he would be considered a democratic socialist today.

King was without question fighting for working people of all backgrounds,

supporting worker unionization and policies such as a universal guaranteed income. He called the existence of poverty in America “as cruel and blind as the practice of cannibalism at the dawn of civilization.”

King was a big proponent of a living wage. In his view, any wage less than $2 an hour, or $15.95 an hour in today’s dollars, according the Bureau of Labor Statistics, fails to give all Americans a decent standard of living. He described right-to-work laws as weapons against collective bargaining and worker mobilization with the aim of keeping wages low and job opportunities sparse.

King would surely be outraged with the current level of income inequality in America. The top 5% of Americans received nearly a quarter of all income in 2018, according to Census Bureau data.

The U.S. has increased its defense spending for five consecutive years, now totaling almost one trillion dollars, leaving substantially less money for social programs like those King wanted.

King repeatedly railed against the Vietnam War, calling the U.S. government “the greatest purveyor of violence in the world” in his 1967 “Beyond Vietnam” speech. According to King, U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War

not only strengthened the military industrial complex but squashed the self-determination of the Vietnamese people, especially the poor.

King also said it tore up the 1954 Geneva Accord, which guaranteed Vietnam’s political autonomy.

U.S. interventionism has steadily increased since the war in Vietnam. What would King say regarding today’s bloated military?

Although King succeeded in his fight for racial justice following the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, parts of the American political establishment contributed to tarnishing his name and reputation.

According to historians, the FBI believed that King was incited violence by “embracing black nationalism.”

However, King was the biggest advocate of nonviolent protest in the civil rights movement. Following King’s “Beyond Vietnam” speech, 168 major newspapers denounced him, according to a PBS documentary in 2010.

The Washington Post editorial board, for example, wrote that he “diminished his usefulness to his cause, his country and his people.”

The FBI was authorized in 1963 to wiretap King for five years out of fear he might have had ties with the communist

party in the Soviet Union. After finding no evidence, the FBI sent King a letter threatening to expose allegations of sexual philandering unless he stepped out of the political scene. The public knows little about what happened next, but historians have criticized the FBI’s allegations. Understanding King’s legacy means recognizing where his work remains unfinished.

King’s work has bridged race relations in America substantially, but it is also vital that his dream of full equality be carried out. Following his assassination, Jim Crow has taken many new forms including the war on drugs and the gutting of the Voting Rights Act in 2013.

Furthermore, the egregious privatization of health care and pharmaceuticals in this country leaves 45,000 people dead annually due a lack of basic care. Before he died, King said, “of all forms of inequality, injustice in healthcare is the most shocking and inhumane.”

When looking back at King’s life, these are the societal criticisms that should be talked about because they still ring true today. The U.S. does not have equality of opportunity, and we must drastically reform our country to achieve King’s dream. hyattj@iu.edu

OPINION

MLK Day brings giant sloth named after slave owner Abby Malala and Tom Sweeney

Megajeff was a giant ground sloth who roamed the Ohio River Valley during the last Ice Age, but now its 10-foot-long cardboard ghost is the main occupant of the Franklin Hall Commons.

The story only gets more ridiculous from there.

Megajeff ’s bones were discovered along the banks of the Ohio River near Henderson, Kentucky, and given to IU in 1860, according to the Indiana Geological and Water Survey. At that time, IU was the owner of the world’s most complete fossil of Megajeff ’s species.

That is, until the bones were discarded in a “great housecleaning” of Owen Hall in 1947, according to a placard placed next to the new display.

“Someone must have found a crate of old bones in a storeroom somewhere, thought it to be useless junk, and dumped it,” reads a quote attributed to William Wayne on the same placard.

It seems Megajeff was once so insignificant to IU that its remains were thrown away. Should we really care about Megajeff now?

The giant fossil recreation, made from laser-cut cardboard, was unveiled Monday as part of IU’s bicentennial celebrations.

The cardboard skeleton now resides in Franklin Hall, the main building of IU’s media

school.

The timing of the unveiling adds to concerns about how IU Bicentennial programming took priority over Martin Luther King Jr. Day, which also occurred Monday, especially considering that Megajeff ’s namesake, former U.S. president Thomas Jefferson, was a slave owner.

The ancient giant sloth was a member of the extinct species Megalonyx jeffersonii, named after Jefferson because he presented one of the first known fossils of the species to fellow members of the American Philosophical Society, a prominent scholarly organization, in 1797. He had received the bones from a settler who found them in present-day West Virginia.

Jefferson misclassified the species as a member of the cat family, inspiring him to choose the name “megalonyx,” which means “great claw” in Greek. Essentially, the namesake of Megajeff the giant sloth originally thought Megajeff was a giant cat. The blame is not to be placed on Megajeff, however, as it died long before its naming and obviously had no say in the matter.

A casual onlooker might think IU actually had all of the bones shown in the new display. However, only five of the 69 original Megajeff bones survived the “great housecleaning.” They are

held at the Indiana State Museum.

The missing pieces were produced from 3D scans of other ground sloth bones owned by museums across the country, according to the new display.

In other words, Megajeff isn’t even Megajeff.

Even more confusingly, the bones on display are not all necessarily from the same species. Twentiethcentury natural historians disagreed over whether different Megalonyx remains should be classified as the same species.

The decision to unveil Megajeff on Monday encapsulates a larger problem with how the IU chose to commemorate MLK Day: Bicentennial events got center stage while the university appeared to treat honoring Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy like more of an afterthought.

Jefferson’s own legacy as a slave owner only adds insult to injury.

The university canceled this year’s MLK Leadership Breakfast, an annual MLK Day event, in favor of a full day of bicentennial programming, including the Megajeff unveiling. IU “elected to combine” its Bicentennial and MLK Day celebrations, the vice president for diversity, equity and multicultural affairs, James Wimbush, said in a letter.

Viola Davis, the first

black actor to receive top acting awards at the Academy Awards, Emmy Awards and Tony Awards, spoke at Assembly Hall in the afternoon, where she also received an honorary doctorate of fine arts. According to the event description, her speech was intended to celebrate both the IU Bicentennial and MLK Day. Although IU has existed for 200 years, a black woman did not graduate until 1919.

According to IU diversity documents, black students made up just 4.5% of the IUBloomington student body in fall 2019, a figure that decreased from 2018. It’s less than half the percentage of all Indiana residents who are black, Census Bureau data show.

IU allocating money to recreate a sloth named after a slave owner and unveil it for the bicentennial, rather than properly honoring King’s legacy, was a misstep.

It’s not the sloth’s fault, but Megajeff ’s return to campus was a mega disappointment.

To be or not to be.

A famous quote from Shakespeare’s coming-of-age play, Hamlet. In the story, a young man grieving the death of his father and experiencing the pains of life tries to decide if it’s better to live or die.

On Dec. 26, 2019 — a day after Christmas, four days before taking his life and weeks before he was set to join the Georgia Tech football team — 17-year-old Bryce Gowdy tweeted that exact quote.

Stories like Gowdy’s show why we should provide more mental health resources to black teens. The same goes for IU students.

Black children and teens are more likely to experience poverty and toxic stress associated with being financially unstable, according to the Economic Policy Institute.

This creates an unavoidable childhood trauma that physically, mentally and emotionally harms these children as they grow into teenagers and young adults.

Gowdy’s tragic death serves as a reminder of just how detrimental these systemic inequalities are on black youth.

After struggling to find stable housing, the Gowdy family checked into a hotel Dec. 29. Shibbon Winelle said in a video posted to her Facebook page that her son was questioning his spirituality and life.

He asked if his mother and brothers were going to be okay once he went off to school.

She said both Gowdy and herself had “personal demons.”

This stress linked with poverty has a comprehensible effect on black youth.

In 2018, almost 1 in 6 childrenin the U.S. lived in poverty, according to Census Bureau data. The 2017 American Community Survey, a Census Bureau program, found the percentage of black children in poverty is twice as high as that of non-Hispanic white children. Suicide attempts have increased by 73% in black youth between 1991 and 2017.

Michael A. Lindsey, executive director of the McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research at the New York University Silver School of Social Work, told HuffPost in an interview that racism and higher rates of poverty play key roles in this disturbing trend.

However, Lindsey said it is important to recognize black children might display depression and mental health struggles differently than their peers. Lindsay said physical complaints and interpersonal challenges are common signs.

“The kid who is depressed may not be the kid in the back of the class with their head down; it may be the kid who is irritable when you try and engage them, or explosive,” Lindsey said. “They may fight.

Those kids tend to be suspended from school, particularly black kids,” he said.

A lack of access to mental health resources perpetuates this issue.

“Real men don’t cry.”

“Don’t be soft.” Hyper-masculine ideas such as these with harmful effects plague black communities. Some black people might think receiving help might make them appear weak, vulnerable or not a true man.

There is also a clear financial strain, especially if a person is in poverty. Without health insurance, a typical therapy session can cost between $75 and $150, according to financial planning com-

pany Northwestern Mutual.

When the next stable meal or safe place to sleep is in question, a therapy session will be placed last on a to do list.

While IU has mental health services for students, more can be done to assure mental health crises are not an issue on campus.

If a student has paid a health fee, they receive two free counseling visits at IU’s Counseling and Psychological Services, according to the CAPS website. Students automatically pay the fee if they are enrolled in more than 3 credit hours for the fall or spring semesters.

A few years ago, I went to CAPS for the first time. After my appointment in November, CAPS said they could schedule me again — but not until the following January.

I couldn’t help but wonder how a struggling student on the verge of taking drastic measures would feel hearing that information — the most cost-effective therapy available to them would simply not be available for almost two months.

According to previous reporting from the Indiana Daily Student, many other students have experienced long wait times, too. Hiring additional counselors could help.

The Metz Carillon Bell Tower renovations in 2019 cost $7 million. Memorial Stadium renovations were $53 million. One could argue these attractions bring money to the university. If so, shouldn’t more of that money be allocated to mental health resources?

IU junior Liya Ghiday has performed research on the classification and treatment of affective disorders, with a focus on racial and ethnic identity in black adolescents. She is a psychology major with a minor in human development and family studies.

Ghiday believes East Africans and people of the African Diaspora in general don’t value the importance of mental health.

“People say ‘Just pray about it,’ ‘It’s not a big deal,’ ‘You have a lot to be happy about,’” Ghiday said. “‘You have everything—why are you sad?’”

She believes change must start in the home by educating yourself and loved ones on the importance of mental health in order to create a more comfortable environment to continue those conversations.

“People need to get rid of their pride and ego,” Ghiday said.

Ghiday believes black people in general are going through so much on campus, specifically with IU being a predominantly white institution. She believes black mental health on IU’s campus could be improved by locating full-time CAPS counselors in the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center.

Hopefully such a measure would prevent more deaths of young black people.

To be or not to be.

It’s an unfortunate question a concering amount of minority adolescents face.

With proper education and resources, more youth might answer that seemingly basic question of countless complexities with two simple words.

“To be.”

My life is a folk song Kevin Chrisco is a junior in journalism.

that feels exactly like ours, with characters and situations that mirror the trivial, often tedious lives we live.

But sometimes real life is real life, and while we may not be withstanding massive explosions on an everyday basis, we still withstand a lot. The dissolution of a longtime friendship can feel like a nuclear explosion.

The aimless meandering thoughts of a lonely night can feel like an intricate, choreographed fistfight with ourselves.

It’s not all war. Moments can feel huge to one person and be insignificant to another. Slaughter Beach, Dog captures this dichotomy beautifully with insanely detailed lyrics and an insular focus on the protagonist of the song.

“This picture makes it look like we’re in love,” Ewald croons on the track “Sleepwalking” from his 2017 record “Birdie.” “And everybody thinks it’s great.

But I don’t think it’s all that good. I don’t think you care so much. I don’t think you miss me when you say so.”

Another example can be found on the track “Fish Fry.” “Mostly at night I can’t ignore the feeling of wishing you were with me,” Ewald sings. “All of my friends insist that I should really be spending some time alone.”

These songs are littered

“My life is a movie” is the famed mantra of a generation of people engaging in debauchery, trying desperately to capture their lives in a romantic lens. In some ways, everyone’s life could be a movie.

There are enough interesting interactions and outlandish situations in every lifetime to fill a film script.

But movies deal in grandiosity. They’re massive, monolithic stories.

My life isn’t a movie.

It’s more like a song. A folk song. A song by Slaughter Beach, Dog. Slaughter Beach, Dog is the former side project turned main project of Philadelphia-based singersongwriter Jacob Ewald.

The band was formed to be cathartic. A place for Ewald to write songs that weren’t as confessional as the ones he wrote for his other band Modern Baseball.

Slaughter Beach, Dog songs are much more intricate than those of Modern Baseball. They’re stories set to music.

Relatability is currency in the modern age. Getting someone to say “Hey, I do that!” is the quickest way to forge a connection. People like what they know. On every Slaughter Beach, Dog track, Ewald creates a world

New Wright Quad mural unveiled at dinner

By Lauren McLaughlin lrmclaug@iu.edu

IU commemorated its bicentennial Monday in the Wright Quad dining hall with the unveiling of a new mural depicting IU from 1998-2020. The event drew a crowd of more than 500.

The mural was created by artist Caleb Weintraub, an associate professor of painting in the Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design.

The new mural is an addition to a collection of seven others showing IU’s history from 1820 to 1998.

The first six, painted by artist Garo Antreasian in 1957, depicted the history of IU from its founding until 1957.

Artist Mark Flickinger created the seventh mural, which represents 1958 to 1998, in 1998. “In these public spaces, sculptures, paintings and other works of art not only beautify our campuses, but they also remind us of our shared history and inspire reflection,� IU President Mi-

chael McRobbie said at the unveiling.

McRobbie presented Professor Weintraub with an IU Bicentennial medal in recognition of his work on the mural.

According to Weintraub, the mural includes famous IU athletes such as olympic swimmer Lilly King and basketball player Victor Oladipo alongside American jazz composer David Baker, Grammy award-winning opera singer Sylvia McNair, IU cognitive science professor Richard Shiffrin and biology professor emeritus David Dilcher. The faces of McRobbie and former presidents are also featured. The late Elinor Ostrom, an IU professor and Nobel Prize winner, appears as well.

Andrea Walton, campus historian and associate professor, led the campus history committee, which chose who appeared in the mural.

The mural also includes images meant to represent the current IU student population. A woman wearing

a shirt with the quote, “The future is female� printed on the front, a man holding a rainbow flag and a person holding a sign that reads, “There is no planet B� are featured. “I do think that it’s fitting that the event is taking place on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day,� Weintraub said at the event. “I think one of the things we were hoping to represent in the work was the university’s commitment to diversity.�

Weintraub also included places such as the Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Museum of Art, Luddy Hall, and Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in the mural. “The artist was given a really difficult task capturing a really dynamic era of Indiana University’s history,� director of the IU Bicentennial Kelly Kish said.

Weintraub not only painted technology in the mural, he also used it to create the images. Before painting, he used a program called ZBrush to create a

digital image of the mural.

Weintraub said he decided to create this mural in an inventive way because Antreasian also used innovative methods in the original murals. “That was kind of a unique project because that was the first use of acrylic paint in a public art project,�

Southern Accents to play at the Bluebird

By Hannah Johnson hanjohn@iu.edu

Local Tom Petty fans who may have missed their chance to see the singer live can now experience a close replication of what his concerts were like. Southern Accents, a Tom Petty cover band, will perform at 9 p.m.

Saturday at the Bluebird.

Southern Accents, named for the 1985 Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers album, is a Nashville-based band that has been together for three years. The group is known for recreating Petty’s live performances, according to the band’s website.

Lead vocalist Ronnie Gregg’s long hair, sunglasses and top hat aren’t the only symbols that match Petty – he also performs with simi-

presence and matching Petty’s moves and music separates them far from any other tribute band out there,� according to the band’s website. “They play it like it was their very own while showing respect to its

original creator.�

The band’s setlist features more than 40 of Petty’s songs, ranging from more obscure album tracks to hits like “American Girl� and “Free Fallin.’�

According to a press release on the band’s website, concertgoers can expect an engaging and maybe even emotional experience. “A typical Southern Accents show will have audiences singing along and probably shedding a tear or two — out of joy, for sure, and also out of reverence for the dearly departed, one of the greatest American artists of all time,� according to the press release.

Tickets can be purchased for $10 at the door or on the Bluebird’s website. Attendees must be 21 or older.

the original murals. “It was kind of novel in that way, and I wanted to introduce something novel again.�

In the spring, the mural will be compatible with an augmented reality mobile app, Weintraub said. Using the app, people will be able to hold up their phones in front of the mural and facts will appear on the screen.

Weintraub said it will also provide information about significant achievements from other IU-associated people that did not make the final cut of the mural. “I hope that they find it visually exciting, and I hope it stimulates some curiosity,� Weintraub said of his mural.

IU alum Michael Uslan to attend IU Cinema ‘Constantine’ screening

By Lizzie Kaboski lkaboski@iu.edu

The IU Cinema will screen a 15th anniversary showing of “Constantine� produced by IU alum Michael Uslan at 7 p.m. on Thursday.

Uslan will sign copies of his autobiography “The Boy Who Loved Batman: a Memoir� from 5:30-6:30 p.m. before the film and will participate in a Q&A discussion after the screening.

Based on the DC Comics “Hellblazer� graphic novels, “Constantine� tells the story of John Constantine who has, quite literally, been to hell and back. Constantine (Keanu

Reeves) teams up with police woman Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz) to investigate the murder of her twin sister, and the duo is taken through a mysterious world of angels and demons in modern-day Los Angeles.

In addition to “Constantine,� Uslan holds a slew of production credits that include the “Batman� films and “Joker,� which recently received 11 Academy Award nominations. Uslan earned his bachelor’s, master’s, and J.D. from IU and is an professor of practice in the Media School.

Tickets are $4 and can be purchased online up to one hour before the screening.
