IU cracks AP Top 25 after 25 years By William Coleman wicolema@iu.edu | @WColeman08
For the first time in 25 seasons, IU football is ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 poll. The Hoosiers check in at No. 24 overall in the AP Poll and were ranked No. 25 in the Amway Coaches Poll presented by USA Today Sports earlier Sunday. The news comes a little over a week following IU’s 34-3 win over Northwestern in the first November night game in Memorial Stadium history. The Hoosiers are now riding a four-game winning streak in conference play, their first of that kind since 1993. Before Sunday, IU had the longest active streak of Power-5 schools to not be ranked in the poll. Purdue, last ranked in 2007, now holds that title. IU, 7-2 overall and 4-2 in Big Ten play, travels to No. 9 Penn State on Nov. 16 for now a top-25 matchup. The Hoosiers have a chance on Tuesday to be in the top-25 of the College Football Playoff Rankings for the first time in program history.
Power outage wrecks normal workflow in IMU Friday By Madi Smalstig msmalsti@iu.edu | @madi_smals
At 10:11 a.m., the power in the Indiana Memorial Union shut off. The music, usually indistinguishable background noise, suddenly went silent, causing even those with headphones in to lift their heads up at the unexpected blackness that filled the hallways. Freshman Kaylie Demaree had been microwaving her food, staring at her phone when the lights shut off. She glanced at the only other person in the small inlet of the IMU commons; they were both very confused. She tapped out a message to send to the Civic Leaders Living Learning Center group chat. “So, the IMU just lost power guys,” she said. “IU said she was done with y’all,” replied Savannah Draher. Her group chat, like many others on campus, went on to figure that not just the IMU, but many other buildings including Rawles Hall, SPEA and Franklin Hall did not have power. It was later announced by IU spokesperson Chuck Carney that a substation of Duke Energy had gone out, causing power outages in 55 campus buildings. The emergency lights came on about one minute after the blackout. Then, the dining employees dragged a metal curtain around the main food court area and locked the openings. Its registers were down, and that meant no pizza, no drinks, no coffee, no wraps, no chips, no sushi. “At least we got our cookies,” one student said. Other students, not so lucky, filed into the dining area only to find it surrounded by the temporary barrier. Their hopes of a short snack before class were dashed by a metal curtain and the empty, black screen of the registers. “How will I get in my building if the power is out?” freshman Olivia Hall asked her friend. Other people who unfortunately picked a bad day to conduct a college visit, stumbled into the food court dazed and confused. They had never been in the IMU before, and this was the only place in the SEE OUTAGE, PAGE 4

DOMINANT DISPLAY IU women’s basketball has record day en route to 111-47 beatdown of Nicholls State. Five Hoosiers scored in double digits. By Will Trubshaw wtrubsha@iu.edu | @Willtrubs
If you’re going to blow out a team, you might as well do it in record style. That’s what the Hoosiers accomplished Sunday with a 111-47 victory over Nicholls State University. The Hoosiers sprinted out to a 15-0 first quarter lead and continued building on it, finishing the game with their second highest margin of victory ever at 64 points. Five different Hoosiers cracked double digits, led by freshman forward Mackenzie Holmes’ 22 points off the bench. The Hoosiers could do no wrong it seemed, as they pushed the pace to rack up a program record 33 assists to just 10 turnovers, while falling five points shy of the program record for points in a single game. IU also had shot 63.4% from the field. “I think our kids like playing that way,” said IU head coach Teri Moren. “It’s not

only our philosophy offensively and something that we feel like at times is our best offense, but to have the willingness of our players to run the floor,
like our guards do.” No one benefited more from the fast-paced style of play than Holmes and junior guard Ali Patberg.

Handmade Market attracts over 4,000 visitors By Claudia Gonzalez-Diaz clabgonz@iu.edu
Between rows of vendors and potential customers, eyes shift between colorful paintings to floating plants and reflective jewelry. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Saturday at the Monroe Convention Center, artists from the Bloomington area and beyond gathered for the Bloomington Handmade Market. The annual event began in 2009 and is scheduled on the second Saturday of November every year. The Bloomington Handmade Market also had an event in June called the Summer Fair, allowing for year-round representation. The market on Saturday featured 68 holiday makers, seven kids’ shops and three micro-markets. In all, almost 80 artists packed the Monroe Convention Center and 4,000 people came to see them. Talia Halliday, a BHM organizer, said the market allows her to educate artists about the business of art, starting from age 7. She purposefully organizes events where artists can share a platform, supporting each other creatively and in their businesses. Halliday said her motivation for creating a collective space for artists is to support each other’s work, both with the BHM and her own store. “My goal has always been to foster collaboration over competition,

and to teach people to share information and work together,” Halliday said. Halliday is also the owner of Gather, a local shop on Walnut Street that sells the work of some artists who were also featured in the market. This is where she mentors the Gather Kids, a group of children ages 7-14, on how to sell their art.
Analiese Causey, a junior at IU majoring in advertising and studio art, is the owner and creator of Blooming Creations Art. She prints her own designs onto T-shirts, mixing printmaking techniques with clothing design. Causey commented on the value of selling to people in person rather than online.
“I can gauge what people like and what they don’t like and how I can improve,” Causey said. Another vendor, Jean Elise, makes toys, games and prints. She is one of the Market’s original artists, selling in its first show 11 years ago. “It’s really meaningful to still be here and to have this space in the community,” Elise said.
