MEN’S SOCCER

IU beats Michigan in Big Ten Title 4-3

By Sam Bodnar Sbodnar@iu.edu | @sgbod13

For the 14th time in program history, No. 8 IU men’s soccer won the Big Ten Championship with a 4-3 penalty kick advantage over Michigan. Sunday’s victory marked the 10th time in history that IU won the regular season and tournament titles.

The Hoosiers defeated the Wolverines 3-0 in last year’s tournament championship, but the offense was much quieter in Sunday’s rematch.

Defense ruled during the first half with just five total shots.

Michigan’s early opportunities to score were thwarted by IU’s defense.

Sophomore defender Joe Schmidt prevented graduate forward Nebojsa Popovic from an easy goal in the first 10 minutes with pressure on the lower left side of the six-yard box.

Junior defender A.J. Palazzolo shut down opportunities for Popovic while taking a beating on all ends of the field. With his headband on and stitches in place, the junior was scrappy.

IU freshman goalkeeper Roman Celentano wasn’t forced to make a save during the first half as the backline of sophomore defender Jack Maher and freshman defender Daniel Munie cleared out anything in their path.

Defense from the Wolverines was just as lively despite some quick spurts from the Hoosiers.

IUDM reveals the final amount of money raised by IU students Nov. 17 for Riley Children’s Hospital for Children at the IU Tennis Center. IUDM spanned 36 hours.

‘FOR THE KIDS’ IUDM raises $4,257,143.23 for Riley Hospital for Children.

It raised over $70,000 more than last year.

A rainbow of IU students in FTK shirts danced, cried and spent up to 36 hours together from Friday night to Sunday morning at the IU Tennis Center all for the kids. By the end, more than $4.2 million was raised.

Banners lined the walls. Each represented an IU Dance Marathon committee, fraternity, sorority or club.

The Tennis Center had a large stage on one end, a recreation area on the other and a food area in between the two. Students rotated through these areas based on their committee.

IU’s dance marathon has been raising money for the Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health in Indianapolis for 29 years.

Participants choose to dance individually, on a team or as members of a committee. IUDM has 18 committees that organize, entertain and fundraise for the marathon.

With almost 30 years of experience at IU under her belt, Melanie Payne was promoted to lead the office of First Year Experiences Programs earlier this month. She hopes to help the overall well-being of first-year students, which includes efforts to promote access to mental health services.

FYE is a campus program that runs New Student Orientation, Welcome Week, Hoosier Experience and Hoosier Link. It also helps first-year and transfer students on their journeys by connecting them to other opportunities and services on campus.

“I believe that when you raise your hand and when you ask for help and when you reach out, the help is here,” Payne said. “I think that’s what I want students to think of when they think of Indiana University and when they think of their first year.”

The future of FYE has three main focuses — the student, the team and the campus. Both Payne and Vice Provost for Enrollment Management David Johnson said one of the primary goals is to increase collaboration with other campus programs and services.

“We’ve been building on just helping the campus talk about the first-year experience and helping to coordinate some activities that support that first year for students,” Payne said. “At the heart of it, that’s what I’d like to continue.”

One of the core reasons for this collaboration is to make students more comfortable with campus. If a student is more comfortable, Payne said, the student will be on the way to SEE DIRECTOR, PAGE 4

Lilly Library invites visitors before closing

By Raegan Walsh ramwalsh@iu.edu

The Lilly Library isn’t like most other libraries that might come to mind. Students aren’t studying silently at tables spanning the entire room, there are no calculus or psychology textbooks open wide and coffee cups are not standing tall next to every sleep-deprived student.

Instead, historical artifacts covering disciplines of science to literature are encased in glass display tables that line the room of wood paneled walls. The smell of parchment pervades the air.

Dark, ornate wood frames the doors and bookshelves and there is an extravagant chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

Sixty years after opening its doors, the library will close for renovations on Dec. 6 for about a year and a half. A $10.9 million grant to IU by the Lilly Endowment and a $12.4 million renovation approved by the IU Board of Trustees will collaborate for this “once-ina-generation renovation,” as described on the library’s website.

“Although we have exhibitions, we are not primarily a museum; we are a research library open to anyone in the world who wants to use any of the millions of items in our collections,” Head of Public

“While the ‘museum’ aspect of the Lilly Library will be closed during renovation, students, faculty, and anyone who is curious about the past will still be able to use our collections for teaching and research.”

Jennifer Laman shared her appreciation for Riley and IUDM through her personal story of her son Chase’s brain tumor. She told Chase’s story alongside other families on the stage.

“We are thankful because we know Riley Hospital saved Chase’s life and they’ll always be a part of ours,” Laman said.

Participants wearing rainbow tutus, bandanas and pink crocs displayed high energy as the first hours of the dance marathon came and went. Senior Reagan White and the entire stewardship committee wore the shoes to complement their committee’s pink t-shirts. She said her favorite part of the marathon is being with her committee and listening to the Riley stories.

“I’ve already cried like four times,” White said.

During the opening ceremony, participants were invited to ring the bell on stage if they received a donation within a 10-minute period.

Around 100 dancers proudly rang the bell after receiving donations.

Senior Haley Begle said she hopes the participants of IU Dance Marathon fundraise more than last year’s total of $4,187,051.23. Begle is a member of the accounting committee.

“I hope we beat last year’s total, but even if we don’t, we’ll still be fundraising a ton of money for the kids,” she said.

Saturday Freshman Julia Fromstein was about four-and-a-half hours into her first IUDM around noon Saturday.

Fromstein said it had been a fun experience so far. She said her favorite part was spending time with some of the Riley kids.

“It was inspiring to hear their stories,” Fromstein said.

Riley children walk with their family’s signs on the red carpet to the main stage Nov. 15 at the IU Tennis Center. Three families went on stage at a time to tell their story

a line dance.

Next to the stage area was a makeshift cage called the jail.

The jail is designed as a way to help marathoners raise more money. Students dressed as police can arrest the dancers and confine them to jail until they raise a certain amount of money.

Senior Emma Shaw said she turned herself into jail because she had avoided arrest earlier in order to spend time with her friends.

Her goal to get out of jail was $20. She had already raised $15, but said she wanted to stay in jail even after she reached the donation amount. Shaw said she sent pictures of herself in jail to people to encourage them to donate.

“This is a great way for me to get donations,” Shaw said.

“It’s actually one of my favorite things to do here.”

Shaw throwing herself in jail is a testament to the level of commitment members have for IUDM. One member with a more personal connection to the cause is sophomore Macoy Riley, who used to be a Riley kid.

Riley said he was born 11 weeks premature and received care at Riley Hospital.

His connection to the hospital is part of the reason why he participated in the marathon, Riley said.

Riley said another reason he is a part of IUDM is the

friendships he has through it.

Riley said IUDM was one of the first places he felt accepted at IU. “It’s not even so much about the money raised, but the relationships you build and the impact you have on the families,” Riley said.

3 - 8 a.m. Sunday IUDM includes a multitude of activities besides dancing such as games and prize-winning opportunities, education and donation booths and places for Riley Hospital for Children patients and their families to visit.

Throughout the marathon, past Riley patients were invited to the stage to share their stories and experiences. Two of those kids were IU students and IUDM veterans.

“I was a walking, talking, even dancing miracle,” said Jake Vahle, a member of the Recruitment Committee. Jake was diagnosed with multiple tumor diseases when he was born and had multiple surgeries throughout his life, including the removal of his colon.

“Riley became my second home, and the doctors and nurses became my family,” Vahle said.

Laura Koster, the senior chair of the Hospital Relations committee, was also a Riley patient when she was young. Koester was diag-

nosed with type one diabetes when she was in sixth grade, then was later diagnosed with cataracts in both eyes.

She also underwent multiple surgeries at Riley.

“IUDM is more than just an organization. IUDM has given me a support system, a family,” Koester said.

Before revealing the final total, IUDM closing ceremonies involved showing videos from the weekend, including footage of all the Riley kids involved this year.

IUDM also handed out the Ashley Louise Crouse and the Ryan White awards.

These awards are given to individuals who embody the spirit of dance marathon and continue the legacy of these two individuals.

Every year before the total is revealed, everyone in attendance gathered in a circle while “Angels Among Us,” played over the speakers.

This moment allows everyone to remember who came before, and who will continue dance marathon in the coming years.

In total, IUDM raised $4,257,143.23 for the kids.

That’s over $70,000 more than last year, and nearly double what other schools in Indiana raised at their marathons.

“People have been saying this week that IU is a football school, but I say IU is a dance marathon school,” Koester said.

Accused IU lecturer suspended

By Emily Isaacman eisaacma@iu.edu | @emilyisaacman

Editor’s note: This article contains potentially offensive and explicit terms that were necessary to report in this situation.

An IU senior lecturer accused of making offensive comments to a McDonald’s cashier with a disability this summer has been suspended, an IU spokesperson confirmed Wednesday.

Biology lecturer Claire Nisonger was publicly accused in July of calling a McDonald’s cashier a “stupid retard” and saying “people like that shouldn’t be allowed in public, much less operating a cash register,” according to a petition calling on IU to take action.

A McDonald’s customer posted videos of herself confronting Nisonger about the alleged comments on Face-

book, but the post was later removed.

IU spokesperson Chuck Carney could not say whether Nisonger’s suspension was related to the incident because it is a personnel matter. Nisonger referred the Indiana Daily Student to her lawyers for comment.

Her lawyers did not respond to email or phone requests for comment by time of publication.

A few months before the McDonald’s incident, senior Abe Shapiro and visiting lecturer Nejla Routsong founded the Neurodiversity Coalition at IU with the goal of making campus and Bloomington more accepting of people who identify as neurodiverse.

The group started the petition after the video of Nisonger was posted.

“I want to make this campus accessible, and to

do that, this campus has to maintain a good tradition, a good name and a good community,” Shapiro said. “That came together today.”

The petition asked IU to fully investigate the incident, release a statement on the value of neurodiverse individuals on campus and in the community and remove Nisonger from interactions with students. It received more than 1,500 responses, many with angry comments.

Coalition members have made following up on the petition a main focus this semester as the coalition gained steam. Virtually every meeting included a discussion of how to demand action from IU. The group drafted and edited an email to Provost Lauren Robel at a Nov. 3 coalition meeting, asking for an update and timeframe on the investigation.

Shapiro said he was surfing through his emails Wednesday morning when he saw Robel’s response and found out Nisonger was suspended. He said he felt a rush of exhilaration.

“Three months of hard work finally came together in that one moment,” he said.

He left a voicemail for Routsong and told her how proud he was of their group.

He also called Ben Foley, a coalition member and IUPurdue University Indianapolis and IvyTech student who helped Routsong craft the latest email to Robel.

Shapiro said the controversy reinforces his desire to push for diversity training for students and faculty. He sees the suspension as a success and hopes this will be the first of many initiatives.

“Now it’s just back to work,” Shapiro said.

More than 50 people made public comments each night at Wednesday’s and Thursday’s special session meetings of the City of Bloomington City Council to amend the Unified Development Ordinance.

The UDO regulates land use and development in Bloomington and has been contested for months. In this week’s meetings, the council discussed amendments to reduce the maximum number of bedrooms in duplexes and triplexes, to prohibit or limit “plexes” on properties in certain districts and to remove the conditional use limitation for Accessory Dwelling Units in all residential and mixed-use districts.

The biggest debates came during the discussions on “plexes.” Many believe duplexes and triplexes, especially in areas close to IU’s campus, will attract students. A few speakers said this is necessary.

“Bloomington is not a small town anymore,” said Joe Bergin, director of city relations for IU Student Government on Wednesday. “It’s time for our neighbors to welcome more neighbors, and yes, that includes students.”

Some were against an increase in “plexes,” as many claimed students would move in and push families out.

“If you limit to two bedrooms per unit, it makes it more likely to cut out families and put students in,” Bloomington resident Christine Linnemeier said Wednesday.

Many complained about students’ lifestyles and said they didn’t want to raise a family next to young people who party.

“Family life and student life is incompatible,” Linnemeier said Wednesday.

John Torok resides in the Elm Heights neighborhood, which he said has many “plexes.” He spoke Thursday and said he has come home at 4 p.m. to see his neighbors’ lawns littered with Solo cups, beer pong tables and empty kegs.

“The city can’t even handle sidewalks, so how are they going to handle students?” he said.

Erin Cooperman also lives in Elm Heights and said Thursday she would rather live by families who maybe would have kids to play with her own daughter.

Sarah Kopper owns a home in the Bryan Park neighborhood, and she said Thursday many students live on her street. Bloomington is a college town, and the core neighborhoods should have students there, she said.

Kopper said the city council needs to consider the people who weren’t at the meeting, as the room was full of white, elderly people who mainly owned their homes.

“We didn’t elect you to listen to the loudest voices,” she said.

Some people spoke out against “plexes” in core neighborhoods because they said it would deter home ownership.

“The city cannot enforce owner occupancy in ‘plexes,’ which quite probably points to ‘plexes’ as market-rate

rentals,” said Richard Lewis, who lives in the Prospect Hill neighborhood. “And that, for me, kills the desirability of building that in the core.”

Amendment 1, which prohibits “plexes” on properties that will be zoned as residential small, medium and large lots on the effective date of the UDO, passed in a 6-2 vote. (Council member Allison Chopra was not present at Thursday’s meeting.)

People cheered and clapped.

Linda Stewart spoke Thursday. She said the core neighborhood is not fighting for more “plexes,” but it’s especially not fond of developers trying to buy their land.

“We don’t mind ‘plexes,’ but what we do mind is opening up core neighborhoods to developers to come in and change the integrity of the core neighborhoods,” Stewart said.

Developers building “plexes” in these areas would redirect wealth in appropriate ways, said Wendy Bricht on Thursday.

“To me, it’s a redirection of wealth out of Bloomington and into investors and private equity funds,” she said.

Many people at the meeting claimed reducing bedrooms in “plexes” and prohibiting them in certain areas would be a step in the wrong direction when trying to reduce carbon emissions.

“We know that we are in a housing crisis and a climate crisis, and we need to be leading with those things,” said IU student Eliza Dowd on Wednesday. “We need to be shifting towards denser housing; that will cut our emissions.”

Assistant Professor Nathan Geiger said Wednesday creating more housing around jobs would be beneficial for limiting car usage.

“We need to let people be close to their workplaces,” Geiger said. “We need to be considering incremental common-sense solutions.”

Pam Weaver, a representative from the Commission on Sustainability, said out of the 10 people on the commission, only two were in support of Amendment 3, which limits the maximum number of bedrooms in duplexes and triplexes.

Amendment 3 failed in a 4-5 vote.

The council voted 6-3 Wednesday to pass Amendment 5, which limits “plexes” on property in soon-to-be R1, R2 and R3 districts where demolition of at least 35% of the principal dwelling structure occurred within the previous three years and the construction of the “plex” structure would exceed the gross square footage of the original structure by more than 25%.

The council also discussed Amendment 7 on Thursday. The amendment removes the conditional use limitation for ADUs, secondary housing either attached or unattached to the main building, in all residential and mixed-use districts. The amendment passed in a 5-3 vote.

There are about 60 amendments to the current UDO for the council to discuss. These were four. The final vote is scheduled for Dec. 18. Five meetings for considering UDO amendments are on the schedule before that.

Detectives probe how teen got gun as Calif. mourns Tribune News Service

LOS ANGELES – As Santa Clarita mourned the two students killed in the shooting at Saugus High School, law enforcement authorities tried to uncover a motive for the attack and how the shooter obtained the gun he used.

Throughout the day and into Friday night, residents, students and families came together around a makeshift memorial in Central Park, a short walk from the school.

The teenager who opened fire on his classmates before shooting himself died Friday night at a hospital, authorities said. Officials said his mother was with him.

A key focus of the investigation is how Nathaniel Berhow got the .45-caliber handgun he used to carry out the attack Thursday morning.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff ’s Department is working with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to determine whether the gun was made from parts purchased separately and then assembled, law enforcement sources told The Times. Such weapons, so-called ghost guns, do not have serial numbers and can be manufactured from parts ordered through the mail or acquired from underground makers.

Authorities say Berhow carried out the attack on his 16th birthday after being dropped off at school by his mother. They say school surveillance video shows a boy pulling a pistol from his backpack and opening fire in the quad, killing a 15-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy and wounding three others in an attack that lasted 16 seconds.

At one point during the attack, the weapon jammed and the shooter cleared the firearm before he continued firing. He appeared to know how many shots he had fired and to have left the final round for himself, ending the attack with a gunshot to his head, said Sheriff Alex Villanueva.

He said investigators found several firearms during a search of the teen’s home, and some were not registered.

Villanueva did not specify what types of guns were recovered.

Berhow’s late father is said

to have been an avid hunter, but it’s unclear if those weapons belonged to him.

Investigators say they think the attack was planned but that no specific students were targeted.

The shooting left the residents of Santa Clarita stunned, and many visited the memorial throughout the day Friday to share their grief.

Dozens of heart-shaped paper cutouts hung on a piece of string that encircled the memorial. On them were notes written by people who knew Gracie Anne Muehlberger, a 15-year-old cheerleader who was one of the students who was killed.

After the shooting, dozens of her friends and members of her cheerleading team met to write the notes and share memories of Gracie.

“Our heart is breaking for her family and we wanted to do something for Gracie and the victims,” said Shelly Walker, who had been Muehlberger’s coach. “She was super sweet, very respectful, everything you wanted in a student.”

Chloe White, 17, who had helped coach the team, said

Gracie had a bright personality and enjoyed being on stage.

She was also quick to throw out encouragement to her teammates as they got ready to perform, Chloe said.

“She was always telling people they could do it,” Chloe said. “’You got this, guys!

You’re going to be great!’”

Others who visited the memorial were friends of 14-year-old Dominic Blackwell, the other student killed.

Sebastian Martinez, 12, who played football with Dominic in a youth program, arrived at the park with his father to place a football at the memorial.

The two had been friends and would attend each other’s games. Through the boys, Xavier Martinez, Sebastian’s father, had also become close friends with Dominic’s father and spent most of Thursday with his family.

“He was always smiling and laughing,” Sebastian said of Dominic. “It’s so unfair.”

Some came to the memorial looking for ways that they could help the community.

Dave Lyznick, a member of Saugus High’s first gradu-

ating class, brought a banner he had made at his signage company to honor the victims. He hung it near the memorial, asking passerby if they wanted to write notes to the victims and their families on it. It steadily filled up.

“Gracie, you were so funny and nice. I loved when we played games and listen(ed) to Taylor Swift,” one person wrote. “Dominic, I never personally knew you, but you were always so happy and sweet,” wrote another.

The attack had shaken Lyznick deeply. His nephew had been in the quad just a few feet from the gunman when the shooting started and escaped by running from campus. Meanwhile, his niece was inside the school, which was placed on lockdown until authorities were sure the threat was over.

On Friday, Lyznick walked toward the banner to read some of the notes. He stood still, suddenly choked up.

“This is the hardest part now,” he said.

The motive for the attack also remains a mystery.

Detectives have con-

ducted 40 interviews and still have six to go in their efforts to piece together what led up to the shooting.

“We are chasing all the leads available,” Villanueva said. “At this stage, we don’t know the motive.”

At the memorial, candles, flowers and teddy bears encircled a pole with an American flag that was lowered to half-staff.

Friends and neighbors of the shooter said they were stunned, and that the teenager had not shown signs of aggression. He ran junior varsity cross-country and helped younger members in his Boy Scout troop.

“He would have fun with the team and was a good kid,” 11th-grader Aidan Soto said. “The younger Scouts really looked up to him. He was there when they needed him with anything. I’m bewildered and looking for answers.”

Brooke Risley, a 16-yearold junior at Saugus High, had known Berhow since elementary school. Last year, the two were part of a group that worked on a project for their engineering class and became

close friends.

“He was very smart and really good at history,” she said.

In their AP European history class, she said, he would help her study and would often get the highest test scores in the class. She said Berhow often planned Boy Scout trips during their free time in class.

“He was pretty funny, too,” she said. “He had a higherlevel type of humor that often I couldn’t even get the joke because it was above my head.”

When word of the shooting _ and who was responsible _ began to spread, Brooke got the news from a friend.

In shock, she began texting a mutual friend.

“Please tell me it’s not Nathaniel,” she said.

“I heard that too,” he responded. “I don’t want to believe it.”

A senior in their class last year reached out to her Friday, asking whether it was the same Nathaniel who was part of their group project, “because he couldn’t believe he would do this,” Brooke said.

“Everyone who has heard about him being the shooter has said this wasn’t typically him,” she said. “All those who know him are really wondering what the motive was.”

Public records and a highranking law enforcement source indicated signs of trouble at home.

His family life in Santa Clarita was upended by the sudden death of his father, Mark Berhow, in December 2017, acquaintances said.

More recently, a source told The Times, the boy was having problems with his girlfriend, who was his emotional anchor.

Mark Berhow had been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in 2013 and 2015 and pleaded no contest twice. The second time, he was sentenced to 45 days in jail and five years’ probation.

According to jail records, he was also booked in 2015 on suspicion of attempted battery of a spouse. The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office declined to file charges in that case, citing insufficient evidence.

Official defies Trump to give information to House Tribune News Service

A White House budget official defied President Donald Trump and testified Saturday in the House impeachment inquiry about the controversial suspension of defense aid to Ukraine.

Mark Sandy, a career Office of Management and Budget official, told lawmakers that he raised questions about whether the decision

by Trump acolytes to hold up $400 million in desperately needed military assistance violated laws mandating money allocated by Congress be spent, CNN reported.

The budget expert did not explain what reasons were given for the hold up in aid.

He testified behind closed doors in a rare Saturday session as the impeachment investigation continues to deliver heavy blows to Trump.

Sandy acted on orders to put an initial hold on the aid in late July and the issue was later handed over to Trump political appointees.

The aid was already appropriated by Congress, meaning the White House would have had to offer a legally valid reason for withholding it.

It’s not known what explanation if any, was given for removing the suspension from Sandy’s purview.

Sandy’s testimony shone a harsh spotlight on Mick Mulvaney, who is both the OMB director and Trump’s acting chief of staff.

“Mulvaney not only has refused to testify, but actively worked to block others from complying with subpoenas,” said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., in a statement. “(He also) refused to provide Congress with documents relating to Trump’s suspension of congressionally approved military aid to Ukraine.”

Mulvaney admitted that Trump imposed an improper “quid pro quo” on Ukraine at a disastrous news conference although he later sought to walk back his admission. He has refused to testify to the impeachment probe.

A key contention of impeachment advocates is that Trump suspended the aid so he could use it as leverage to force Ukraine into launching bogus investigation of Trump’s Democratic rivals.

In fact, the suspension of aid shocked Ukraine officials and reportedly led

them to consider announcing the corruption probes to get the cash flowing again.

By that time, in early September, the intelligence whistleblower complaint had hit the headlines, forcing the White House to reinstate the aid without getting the investigations announcement that Trump wanted.

In a statement Saturday, Schiff, chair of the House Intelligence Committee, called out Mulvaney for refusing to testify.

“If Mulvaney had evidence that contradicted what we’ve already heard, he’d be eager to testify and provide documents. Instead, he’s hiding behind, and assisting in, Trump’s efforts to conceal the truth from the American people,” Schiff said.

Also on Saturday, impeachment investigators released the transcripts of depositions given by deputy assistant to the president Timothy Morrison, and Vice President Mike Pence’s special adviser on Europe and Russia, Jennifer Williams.

In Morrison’s Oct. 31 deposition, he testified U.S. Ambassador to the E.U. Gordon Sondland told him

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

National Security Council’s Russia and Europe director Timothy Morrison is escorted Oct. 31 to a closed-door deposition in Washington, D.C.

he’d spoken with Ukrainian presidential aide Andriy Yermak about American military funding being conditioned on corruption investigations. “My concern was what Gordon was proposing about getting the Ukrainians pulled into our politics,” Morrison testified.

In Williams’ Nov. 7 deposition, she confirmed that Trump told Pence not to attend the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s inauguration in an apparent signal that he needed to pursue the corruption probes or be frozen out of the military aid.

“My understanding from my colleague _ and, again, I wasn’t there for the conversation _ was that the president asked the vice president not to attend,” she testified.

At first, the office looked nationally to replace him.

“When we thought about a position at this level, we would typically conduct a national search,” said Sacha Thieme, assistant vice provost and executive director of admissions. “In that national search we would look for someone who has a strong history in orientation and first-year experience and programmatic develop-

ment and collaborative relationship building.”

Payne, who was formerly the senior associate director in the Office of FYE and the director of orientation programs, fit those requirements.

“She has more than two decades of experience at IU,” Johnson said. “We were looking for leadership in this space, and so that’s why we didn’t have to look very far.”

In addition, Payne has a national presence in her field. She is the president of the Association for Orientation, Transition and Retention in Higher Education.

This national organization is responsible for bringing professionals in the university first-year experience field together to discuss and share ideas.

“It really all came together that we had a national candidate right here on campus,” Thieme said.

Beyond official university policies, Payne said she hopes she can offer guidance to new students.

“Get out of your comfort zone,” Payne said. “Take a risk and get involved in something. Engage yourself and take control of your experience.”

Ten minutes later, after maneuvering through defenders, freshman forward Joshua Penn kicked a hard roller to the lower corner of the post, and Finnerty again dove to stop the ball. Michigan broke IU’s defensive formations, forcing Celentano to make two saves on goal.

Within two minutes, junior midfielder Marc Ybarra and Popovic took open shots that threatened to put Michigan ahead. Celentano pulled in Ybarra’s spear in

the 66th minute and dove to pull in Popovic’s laser on the ground.

Popovic, the conference’s offensive player of the year, took four shots on the half.

Although the Wolverines dominated the second half of regulation, leading 8-3 in shots, they could not finish off the Hoosiers.

Throughout the first overtime, IU couldn’t get a shot off. Both teams went back and forth.

In the 95th minute, the Wolverine forward had an open look on goal. Going to his left, Celentano dove down and ripped the ball away from the lower right corner of the net.

With one second left in the second overtime, Palazzolo had a throw-in and got the ball to freshman midfielder Aidan Morris, but the shot was deflected off a Wolverines’ groin. In the penalty kick round, Celentano stopped the first shot while Schmidt scored IU’s first.

Broche got the ball by Celentano to even it up, but it was Palazzolo who stepped up to give IU the 2-1 advantage.

Celentano, once again, stopped Michigan, diving to his left and stopping sophomore midfielder Kevin Buca from tying the match. With a chance to win it, Maher stepped forward.

Maher tried to tapped it in softly on the lower right corner, but Finnerty was ready for it. The freshman slid and easily blocked the go-ahead shot. Ybarra tied it up 3-3 as he drilled the ball through the upper part of the net. IU had one more penalty kick left, and it all came down to its leading goal scorer, Penn.

With the title on the line, the freshman locked in, reached back and fired the ball into the right corner of the goal.

His teammates, standing shoulder to shoulder with arms around one another, pumped their fists in the air and tackled Penn and Celentano.

Some of the most famous items in the collection include: the first printed edition of “The Canterbury Tales,” one of Shakespeare’s portfolios and Thomas Jefferson’s personal copy of the first print of the Bill of Rights. The Sylvia Plath collection has been the most popular for visitors recently,

as not only does the library house her entire collection, but a piece of her braid from when she was a child.

“For a few more weeks, we still have materials on exhibit in our galleries,” Baumann said. “We have a wonderful exhibition of memorabilia from the archives of the Baker Street Irregulars, a literary society centered around Sherlock Holmes. We also still have some of our most popular

Until the closing date, many popular items will still be on display in the Reading Room, available to use by request a week in advance. Public galleries are open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

FOOTBALL

No. 24 IU falls at No. 9 Penn State 34-27

By Caleb Coffman calcoffm@iu.edu | @CalCoff

State College, Penn. — On the first drive of the second half, No. 24 IU football found themselves with a big decision.

Trailing by only six points and the chance to take the lead, the Hoosiers faced a fourth-and-one from their own 40 yard-line.

After calling a timeout to assess the situation, IU head coach Tom Allen elected to send out his special teams unit to punt, or so it seemed.

Allen did indeed send out the punting unit but set them up in similar fashion to the infamous Indianapolis Colts’ botched fake punt formation with only two players on the offensive line.

Unlike the Colts’ however, there was no intended trickery in the play-call as the Hoosiers planned to punt the ball the entire time.

“It wasn’t (a fake punt),” Allen said. “We just had a true freshman long-snapper who made a mistake. He was frustrated with himself when he came off. He realized it, so it’s unfortunate and pretty costly for sure.”

It would only take the Nittany Lions just two plays — capped off by a 35-yard touchdown run by sophomore running back Journey Brown — to create a hole that the Hoosiers couldn’t crawl their way out of as they fell 34-27 to No. 9 Penn State.

The failed punt wasn’t the only mistake that led to IU’s upset bid falling by the wayside.

After forcing a threeand-out on Penn State’s first drive of the game, junior receiver Whop Philyor muffed the punt as the Nittany Lions jumped on the ball, leading to their first touchdown of the game.

It would be a short afternoon for Philyor as he would later be knocked out of the game after taking a hit to the head that led to his second fumble.

ALEX DERYN | IDS

Junior quarterback Peyton Ramsey throws the ball Nov. 16 at Beaver Stadium. IU played against Penn State and lost 34-27.

After a quick swing pass from junior quarterback Peyton Ramsey, Philyor turned upfield for a 10-yard reception before taking a hit to the head as he was sandwiched between two Nittany Lion defenders.

“We had some costly mistakes that hurt us,” Allen said. “Those will come back to bite you in games like this.”

Outside of turnovers, IU’s youth showed.

After Philyor left the game due to concussion protocol, the Hoosier offense looked confused at times as freshman David Ellis and redshirt-freshman

Miles Marshall were asked to take on bigger roles in a hostile environment.

Both Ellis and Marshall’s lack of experience led to the Hoosiers taking two substitution infractions.

Another freshman, lefttackle Matthew Bedford was another young player that struggled all afternoon against Penn State’s talented front-seven. The Nittany Lions were able to consistently beat Bedford around the outside forcing Ramsey to scramble and extend plays outside of the pocket.

But even with all the youth and mistakes, the Hoosiers were able to stay

with the Nittany Lions until the final whistle.

“It hurts,” Ramsey said.

“So many opportunities on both sides of the ball that we just didn’t capitalize and at the end of the day that’s what it’s about.”

Ramsey was able to march the offense up-anddown the field against one of the best defenses in the country as he completed 31 of 41 passes for 371 yards and a touchdown.

He also added 31 yards on the ground rushing and punched the ball into the end zone twice from the one yard-line.

The problem for IU’s of-

fense was that it had a dry spell from the 6:13 mark of the first quarter until 10:24 in the third during which the Hoosier offense didn’t score any points.

On defense, the Hoosiers were able to force Penn State into third-and-long situations but had trouble finishing the job.

On Penn State’s final drive, the Nittany Lions were able to milk the clock, ending IU’s chance at an upset as they were on the field for over nine minutes, giving IU just 1:44 to score 10 points.

“There were a few key third down stops that we

needed to capitalize on, but we didn’t,” sophomore linebacker Micah McFadden said.

For Allen and the Hoosiers, there are no moral victories, but this is as close to one as they could get, taking the ninth-ranked team to the brink on the road.

“I was highly disappointed,” Allen said. “We did not come here to be close. I was ticked off we weren’t able to finish for a variety of reasons. We came here to win, and we battled them. Their coaching staff, they recognize who we are and how we’ve changed over the last few years.”

SOME GROSS TAKES

IU and Penn State rely on wide receiver depth

By William Coleman wicolema@iu.edu | @WColeman08

No. 9 Penn State edged out No. 24 IU football 3427 on Saturday in College Park, Pennsylvania in a competitive, back-and-forth battle with postseason implications on the line. Each team’s most dynamic playmakers, however, left the game with injuries before halftime.

IU junior receiver Whop Philyor and PSU sophomore receiver KJ Hamler each tallied two catches for 50 and 52 yards, respectively, before they spent the rest of the game on the sideline.

After the Nittany Lions ran a 3-and-out on the first offensive series of the afternoon, Philyor muffed the proceeding punt and fumbled away possession before Penn State scored its first touchdown.

Then with IU trailing 1714 in the second quarter after recovering a fumble

of its own, Philyor lost the ball again as he passed the first down marker and drew a tough hit to the head that forced him out of the game.

Hamler’s two-catch, 52-yard effort somehow finished as the team’s best statistical receiving performance Saturday. Just three other Nittany Lion receivers hauled in two catches. Instead, sophomore running back Journey Brown led the way for Penn State in the win.

The Hoosiers relied on a number of different weapons on offense to replace Philyor’s production as a means of staying in the game.

None stand out more than junior receiver Ty Fryfogle, who finished with 131 yards on five catches.

The junior also scored IU’s first touchdown of the day from 38 yards out on a play-action call from offensive coordinator Kalen DeBoer. Ramsey fooled Penn

State by looking for a screen on the right as Fryfogle ran through the heart of the defense before catching the ball in stride.

Sophomore tight end Peyton Hendershot and freshman receiver David Ellis each had seven receptions, both of which are career highs. Ellis, a usual return man who had just five catches before Saturday, blew past his coverage and drew a lot of targets down the stretch.

Aided by poor clock management and an 18play, go-ahead touchdown drive from Penn State, IU had to come back from down ten points with less than two minutes left and no timeouts.

Fryfogle beat his coverage one more time, streaking down the sideline to set up a field goal from fifthyear kicker Logan Justus, but IU couldn’t recover the impending onside kick as Penn State ran out the clock.

In 1989, former University of Louisville football head coach Howard Schellenberger said, “The University of Louisville is on a collision course with the national championship. The only variable is time.”

No, I am not writing that IU football will win a national title. On Saturday afternoon No. 24 IU lost to No. 9 Penn State 34-27.

Like the dozens of other near misses that have defined the Hoosiers’ football program, there were defining moments that show this was a typical defeat.

However, after almost every “IU football” moment when it looked like Penn State was going to break the game open, IU broke tradition and didn’t fold. Instead, the Hoosiers fought adversity head on.

Junior receiver Whop Philyor muffed a punt after the IU defense forced a threeand-out on the opening possession of the game. The Nittany Lions capitalized with a quick touchdown, and IU was reminded of the last time they played in Happy Valley.

In that game, Saquon Barkley returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown.

IU didn’t recover from the opening punch until they were down 28-0 just 15 minutes into the game. But unlike the 2017 game, the Hoosiers responded with a six-play, 75yard statement touchdown drive to tie the contest.

Later, an embarrassingly bad missed targeting call resulted in another Philyor fumble that also knocked the star receiver out of the game. The Hoosiers’ defense stepped up and forced a three and out after the fumble, and kept the Nittany Lions’ lead at one possession while the offense adjusted to life with-

out Philyor the rest of the first half.

And then of course there was the even more humiliating excuse of a fake punt.

“Our true freshman long snapper that made a mistake,” head coach Tom Allen said postgame.

Whether the fake punt was executed correctly or not, it still cost the Hoosiers. Penn State turned the fake punt fiasco into a quick touchdown to take a lead late in the third quarter.

Instead of packing their bags back to Bloomington, the Hoosiers responded again. The IU offense had three drives after the fake punt. The results were field goal, touchdown and field goal. The Hoosiers made the No. 9 Nittany Lions sweat until a final onside kick was recovered with just 13 seconds left in the game.

Even before kickoff, IU knew it would have to overcome the loss of redshirt freshman quarterback Michael Penix Jr. The Hoosiers were used to playing without Penix, as he has been sidelined for multiple games with other ailments prior to the season ending injury. But there were still outside worries about replacing the star Hoosier quarterback.

Enter junior Peyton Ramsey. Ramsey has struggled against elite defenses in

the past, including earlier this season against Ohio State.

But aided by a brilliant game plan from offensive coordinator Kalen DeBoer and surrounded by tons of playmakers, Ramsey played the best game of his career.

The Cincinnati native threw for 371 yards with a 75.6 completion percentage and a quarterback rating of 91.3. Ramsey was accurate on short and intermediate throws, rarely made a bad read and even hit a few deep balls.

The 2019 offense will never be as good as it was with Penix behind center. But Ramsey has proved that he has developed from a game manager who won’t lose IU games to a quarterback who is capable of beating the best in the Big Ten. The IU offense is not just legit, it is arguably the best offense in the conference other than Ohio State.

Behind that strong offense and a youthful defense that has a knack for improving as games progress, this IU football team is a force. Even with a loss on Saturday, Tom Allen’s team proved a changed program.

To paraphrase the old Schellenberger quote, IU football will break through.

The only variable is time. jegrossm@iu.edu

Hoosiers cruise past Troy

By Phil Hoosier psteinme@iu.edu | @PhillipHoosier

When junior guard Al Durham made his way to the bench, junior forward Justin Smith was waiting for him. On the prior defensive possession, Durham swatted a shot attempt off the backboard.

The block ignited the crowd and was one of four blocks on the night for IU men’s basketball.

As Durham approached Smith, the pair paused for a moment, looked at each other and high-fived as Durham pointed toward where he had the block.

Just four days after IU head coach Archie Miller expressed his displeasure with his team’s defense, IU defeated Troy University 100-63 for its best performance on both sides of the ball this season.

The Hoosiers never trailed and overwhelmed the Trojans inside and out throughout the night.

“Good win by our team,” Miller said. “Started the game much better defensively than we have in our previous last couple outings in particular. I thought we were unselfish.”

On a night where sophomore guard Rob Phinisee was sidelined with strep throat, senior guard Devonte Green saw his first minutes of the season. He only played for roughly 20 minutes but was tied with Durham in leading the team with four assists.

His shot still looked to be a work in progress in his first five on five action of the season, but he looked com-

fortable running the offense in spurts. In his 11 minutes played in the first half, he missed each 3-point attempt and didn’t make a field goal until burying a mid-range jumper before the halftime buzzer sounded.

The Hoosiers also scored 58 points in the first half which were the most

by Miller’s team in a half during his tenure.

Despite the shooting woes, Green was sometimes the lone guard on the floor and showed how much his playmaking ability matters.

There were multiple times throughout the game where he’d have a flashy pass to set up a better shot opportunity for his teammates.

He’s usually known for his shot-making ability, but with the backcourt still not at 100%, Green will see more time with the ball in his hands.

“It’s a big, big help,”

Smith said. “It’s another shooter, another spacer, another ball handler. Also, defensively he (Green) makes things happen defensively and offensively. We’re glad to have him back. We’re looking forward to him getting back into a rhythm.”

Whether it was second chance opportunities or in transition, IU used the five-out that Troy played on offense against itself. The Hoosiers had 15 offensive rebounds and outrebounded the Trojans by 13.

The Trojans couldn’t contain the likes of freshman forward Trayce JacksonDavis on the glass, who finished with his second career double-double with 17 points and 14 rebounds.

Jackson-Davis had a couple put back dunks and made his presence felt on almost every possession.

“Really on offense it’s just

my teammates putting me in the right position to score and then really just anticipation for rebound,” JacksonDavis said. “Just got to anticipate where the ball is coming from, and I thought I did that well tonight.”

Through four games, the Hoosiers are defeating the teams they’re supposed to.

It’s difficult for IU to take away much from these early games, but it’s the first 4-0 start since the 2014-15 season.

Princeton University is up next Wednesday night, and if Phinisee is healthy, it’ll be the first time that IU will have everyone ready at its disposal.

“If we can get him back and get him into the mix and start to get some chemistry into our back court, I think that would be really, really important for this team as we head to middle of November, end of November,” Miller said.

After snapping a ninematch losing streak last weekend with a win at Rutgers, the IU volleyball team had a chance to build some momentum with Maryland and Ohio State visiting Bloomington this weekend. Despite flashes of winning volleyball in both matches, the Hoosiers were unable to do so.

IU lost a five-set heartbreaker to Maryland on Friday night the same way it lost back in October: by blowing a two set to none lead. A crazy back-and-forth fifth set, one that gave both sides numerous match points, ultimately fell in favor of the Terrapins.

The win would’ve given the Hoosiers their first multiple-match winning streak of the conference season.

“In the process of building and doing what we’re trying to do, there’s a lot of heartbreak,” IU head coach Steve Aird said. “You go from getting totally blown out in matches, to heartbreaking losses, then you break through and you start winning some of the close games.”

Despite the difficult loss, history was made on the Hoosiers’ side of the court. Sophomore outside hitter Breana Edwards hammered home a schoolrecord 39 kills, all while hitting a staggering .386 percentage.

The next highest Hoosier in kills was senior outside hitter Megan Sloan, who was 27 kills behind Edwards with 12 on the match.

“My team just had my back,” Edwards said.

“Emily Fitzner put up amazing balls. I wouldn’t get those kills without her.”

Unfortunately for Edwards and IU, she was

unavailable to play against Ohio State the following night with a foot injury.

Her status moving forward is uncertain.

In Edwards’ absence, IU’s offense failed to get off to a quick start Saturday like it had Friday. Ohio State took the first two sets and despite a response from IU in set three, the Buckeyes finished off the Hoosiers in set four, 2521. The loss dropped IU to 2-14 in conference, tied for last.

Redshirt senior Kendall Beerman played a bigger role for IU on Saturday amidst the loss of Edwards.

She tallied 16 kills, but also had 16 attacking errors.

Junior outside hitter Kamryn Malloy also saw an increase in attacking opportunities and she finished the night with 11 kills.

“I think that we didn’t play our best for long enough stretches,” Malloy said following the Ohio State loss. “We have to work on staying more consistent and evening out the lows and the highs.”

With close losses becoming a theme for IU this season, Aird and his group remained focused on breaking through in tight matches and tallying more wins.

“We’ve lost so many matches by two points,” Aird said. “The next progression of the program is just getting over the hump and being a little bit cleaner towards the end.

We have it in us. It’s just the consistency of it on a dayin and day-out basis.”

The Hoosiers are back in action next week with two more home matches, this time against No. 8 Penn State on Wednesday and Michigan State on Sunday. IU lost to Penn State on Nov. 8 but has not faced Michigan State yet this season.

NATIONAL COLUMN

A tribute to Trump’s rescuer Tribune News Service

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos speaks to the media on the company’s sustainability efforts on Sept.19 in Washington.

There needs to be a cap on wealth Jonah Hyatt is a junior in political science and philosophy.

The United States currently has the most billionaires of any country in the world at 607. Moreover, 14 of the world’s 20 richest people live in the U.S. This should be an obvious sign of drastic income inequality in the country, but our profit-driven, highly individualistic culture has accepted the existence of such an extreme concentration of wealth with high praise, viewing owning a billion dollars as a great accomplishment.

No one person should ever be able to own a billion dollars. No one can legitimately “earn” a billion dollars.

It is not physically possible that Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon, works that much harder than a worker making $7.25 an hour working 70 hours a week at two minimum wage jobs. Bezos makes nearly $9 million an hour — is it ever possible for someone to work that much harder than anyone else?

Extreme wealth such as

this cannot possibly be obtained without massive worker exploitation. Large corporations like Amazon and Disney were not even paying workers a living wage until they were faced with extreme pressure from lawmakers.

The U.S. needs a cap on wealth because there is a finite amount of wealth in society, and no one should be able to accumulate that much when millions of workers can’t make ends meet.

Even if the U.S. changed the top marginal tax rate to 100% on all income over $999 million, that is still an exorbitant amount of money for one person to own. The CEOs of large corporations only get to where they are due to worker exploitation. The shareholders and board of directors are not elected by workers.

The average worker for a corporation has no voice in how the company operates and how the benefits of their labor are allocated. With such weak labor unions in the U.S., workers are often forced into working low wage jobs with very poor benefits, if any at all.

When speaking at a recent

forum with New York Times writer Andrew Ross Sorkin, Bill Gates refused to side with Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-MA, in a hypothetical matchup with Donald Trump, claiming he would support the more “professional” candidate.

He explained that his hesitancy stems from his reservations with Warren’s wealth tax proposal. Gates said: “If I had to pay $20 billion, it’s fine, but when you say I should pay $100 billion, then I’m starting to do a little math about what I have left over.”

This just demonstrates how out of touch billionaires in this country can be. If Warren’s wealth tax were implemented, Gates would actually pay about $3 billion, a small fraction of his $106 billion.

It is appalling that anyone with such extreme wealth can be so callous when 78% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, with nearly half of all workers making less than $30,000 a year.

Wages have been stagnant since the 1970s, and billionaires like Gates have the gall to oppose inconsequential tax hikes which would hardly af-

fect their elite status but massively help the working class.

The real reason why Gates hesitated to endorse Warren over Trump is because Trump’s tax cuts would allow for him to continue to hoard more of his money.

Multiple studies show that happiness plateaus after obtaining a particular amount of wealth. In the U.S., $75,000 is the average annual household income where day to day happiness ceases to increase with every dollar earned thereafter.

There is no legitimate reason to continue allowing the extremely wealthy to hoard a substantial sum of the wealth in this country. Even moderate tax increases like those proposed by Warren are enough to drastically change the lives of the working class.

When so many Americans are shackled with huge amounts of student loan and medical debt making starvation wages, it is beyond equitable in my view for the elite class to sacrifice some so the many can live with basic necessities. hyattj@iu.edu

THE BRYCE IS RIGHT

We should pay attention to revolution against neoliberalism Bryce Greene is a senior in informatics.

Over the past several decades, the neoliberal paradigm has dominated global economics. The neoliberal period has been marked by privatization, supremacy of finance capital and the centrality of unaccountable global financial organizations such as the IMF and World Bank. The result has been skyrocketing inequality and the erosion of democratic institutions.

People around the world have taken note of the failure of these global systems and are showing elites their disgust. In the U.S., much of the economic anxiety was channeled into anti-establishment movements such as the rightwing movement behind Donald Trump. In the U.K., the Brexit vote was a repudiation of the undemocratic European Union driven in large part by misdirected anger.

Around the world this year, populations are staging their own rejections of the neoliberal order. Millions around the world have been engaged in protests.

Puerto Rico Over the summer, Puerto Rico, still reeling in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, had a major upheaval that led to the resignation of the governor. The protests were ostensibly kicked off by the release of leaked chats in which the governor made many sexist and bigoted remarks. However, the roots of the dissatisfaction run deeper.

In 2016, the Obama ad-

ministration appointed an unelected fiscal oversight management board to manage the economy. Known as “la junta,” the board cut funding for education, hospitals and other public services. This has done without the input of Puerto Ricans, half of whom live in poverty. Protesters over the summer included corruption and austerity as some of their grievances.

In the aftermath of the mobilization, many Puerto Ricans developed forms of people’s assemblies in order to organize locally on the pressing issues. This is part of a political awakening that may come to reshape the island’s colonial relationship with the United States.

Lebanon Lebanon is yet another country that has been hurt by its inclusion in the world trade system. For decades Lebanon has been going further and further into debt in order to avoid taxing the rich. Lebanese banks have also been getting cheap credit from the central banks and lending out to the middle class at exorbitant rates, pocketing the difference as profit. The result is a struggling middle class trapped by financial institutions.

U.S. sanctions and reduced tourism have contributed to the crisis. The country has turned to international financial institutions for help, asking for loans in return for implementing austerity measures which will further squeeze the middle class and poor. The supremacy of the banks and the dire economic

conditions greatly angered the public. Protests were set off when they proposed a tax on texts and calls through WhatsApp. Hundreds of thousands took to the streets to demand a new government. After the government resigned, protesters continue to demand an overhaul of the political system.

Chile In Chile, where citizens are living under the same constitution of former U.S.-backed dictator, General Augusto Pinochet, a wave of protests has taken the nation by storm. The country is one of the richest in the region. However, the economy is largely in private hands, thus ensuring that wealth flows upward and is distributed unevenly.

More than a month ago, the Santiago metro system hiked rates for public transit users. The rate hike came after the government announced a 10% increase in electricity costs. To a population long dissatisfied with current economic arrangements, the increases sparked outrage and demonstrations.

At one point, more than a million people were protesting in the streets. Protesters have been met with brutality. More than 20 people have been killed by the government during violent crackdowns, but the protests continue in full swing. They are calling for the resignation of President Sebastian Pinera as well a new constitution.

Brazil In Brazil, far-right neo-

fascist president Jair Bolsonaro is destroying the country through deregulation, corruption and violent rhetoric.

Recently, a Brazilian court ruled that former president Luis Ignacio Lula de Silva be released from prison during his appeals process. He was wrongfully imprisoned while he was leading in the polls during a presidential election after Bolsonaro colluded with the judge and the prosecution to secure his own victory. The judge was awarded a key role in Bolsonaro’s administration.

Lula’s release could mean a new direction for the country. He has come back with a newfound vigor and many expect him to run in the 2022 elections. He is already planning to lead protests and mass mobilizations to fight the current regime. His popularity combined with a popular movement could help in the fight against Bolsonaro’s reactionary regime.

Around the world, we are watching public outrage at elites manifest in popular action. This is a welcome sign of the turning tide in the global fight to preserve and expand true democracy. Fighting and overcoming neoliberalism is the only hope for organized human existence in the face of the looming climate catastrophe. Here in the United States, the grassroots movement inspired in large part by Senator Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., could be our own chance to mount a challenge to the neoliberal order. greenebj@iu.edu

As America’s House impeachment inquiry gains verifying evidence, we are pausing today to recognize the one person who apparently single-handedly saved President Donald Trump from himself. And who also enabled Trump’s Republican supporters to keep reciting the only surviving argument they are making in his defense.

Trump and his defenders owe great gratitude to their leader’s rescuer, the individual publicly known only as The Whistleblower.

For we now know it was the disclosure to House Democrats of The Whistleblower’s courageous complaint (buried since July in the Justice Department) that forced Trump to instantly abandon his demands that Ukraine probe Trump’s Democratic opponents to get the $391 million in congressionally approved military aid he had frozen months earlier, as his demands went unfilled.

With the once-frozen military aid flowing through channels, Trump’s congressional Republicans supporters began voicing their one-note defense against Trump’s impeachment: U.S. military aid was released to Ukraine without any demands met – so no crime was committed.

If common sense ruled Washington, Republicans and Democrats would immediately agree on all the essentials. Or, if each of us switched the president’s name to be the one we most love to hate, we’d all come to the same conclusion. A U.S. president was caught in the act of attempting to bribe, extort or just plain strong-arm Ukraine’s president using your taxpayer dollars as his persuader to get political dirt on an opponent.

Now, here’s the actual timeline: April 21: Volodymyr Zelenskiy is elected Ukraine president.

May 23: In an Oval Office meeting, when Trump’s advisers say Ukraine’s new president deserves U.S. support, Trump reportedly responds that Ukraine is filled with “terrible” corrupt people who “tried to take me down.”

July 10: At the White House, two Ukraine officials are told by U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland that a Zelenskiy-Trump meeting can only happen if Ukraine agrees to: (1) probe Burisma gas company that hired Joe Biden’s son, Hunter; (2) probe a discredited right-wing conspiracy theory that there was a Ukraine connection to the 2016 U.S. election cyber-sabotage.

July 18: An Office of Management and Budget official says Trump has frozen the $391 million in Ukraine military aid approved by Congress.

July 25: When Trump and Zelenskiy talk via phone, Zelenskiy mentions his need to buy U.S. antitank missiles (to fight Russian invaders); but Trump responds: “I would like you

to do us a favor, though.”

The Bidens and that 2016 election theory are discussed. WHISTLEBLOWER ALERT: An intelligence officer files a whistleblower complaint about Trump pushing Ukraine to do U.S. political dirt-digging favors to get U.S. military aid.

Sept. 1: Sondland tells a Ukraine official military aid won’t come until its president publicly announces probes of Biden-Burisma and the 2016 election Ukraine connection.

Sept. 11: Two days after a House committee learns of The Whistleblower’s complaint, Trump drops his demands and releases the Ukraine military aid.

At Wednesday’s House impeachment hearing, Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., succinctly summed up the Republicans’ defense: “For the millions of Americans viewing today, the two most important facts are the following. Number one, Ukraine received the aid.

Number two, there was in fact no investigation into Biden.”

So no crime? To understand the law-and-order reality this impeachment inquiry has devolved into, consider a cops-and-robbers variation: A man enters a bank, waving a gun, and orders a teller to fill his sack with money. But an unseen person presses a bank’s alarm button – a shrill whistle sounds. The would-be robber flees the bank with his empty sack – and runs into the arms of arriving police. “I got no money – so there was no crime,” the would-be robber claims. Do the cops free him? Of course not.

They arrest him so he can be indicted and tried for attempted bank robbery.

Back to reality. Trump’s actions and conduct are clear. Trump’s attempted crime warrants being impeached/indicted by the House. But does that level of crime also warrant his conviction and removal from office by a most improbable two-thirds vote in the GOP-controlled Senate – just months before Americans elect their next president?

Unlikely and probably worse than unwise. Our nation is not just viscerally, but tribally split. Senate conviction could divide our United States in ways more profound than occurred during the Civil War. It would not merely divide us into North versus South. It would divide every state, and virtually every community, in ways that could actually shred us into dysfunctional tatters.

We are left with just one common-sense constitutional option: Impeachment by the House. Censure (but not conviction) by the Senate – to make the point that can be seen even by patriotic Republicans.

Followed by Trump’s defeat through our democratic process on Election Day 2020. Unless Trump’s Grand Old Party elders help him see the light and convince him to not run again.
