IDS Remembering the life of IU student Julian Baek By Annie Aguiar aguiara@iu.edu @annabelaguiar

He grins in most of the photos. Of the 119 in the slideshow played at his vigil, he is smiling wide: rock climbing, at restaurants with family, trying on silly hats in a store with friends, riding on the back of an elephant and throwing a peace sign in the air. This was the life of Julian Baek.

Baek, 29, died Nov. 1. Baek graduated from the Kelley School of Business in December 2015 with a bachelor of science in marketing and technology management and was about to graduate in the winter with a master of science in informations systems degree with concentrations in enterprise systems and business intelligence. A vigil was held in Baek’s honor Nov. 4 near the Kelley graduate building, with friends, classmates

and faculty gathered to remember him. Electric candles surrounded a framed photo of Baek, with information security books stacked behind the frame in honor of his studies. The slideshow of the 119 photos played in the background on a loop. Baek, born in South Korea, traveled to 22 countries and SEE BAEK, PAGE 6

Robert Johnson’s last ride In his senior season, Johnson embraces call to leadership By Andrew Hussey aphussey@indiana.edu @thehussnetwork

The realization that it’s the beginning of the end has begun to hit senior guard Robert Johnson. After three years and 87 career starts, he stands on the precipice of scoring 1,000 career points. His final season as a Hoosier begins Friday night against Indiana State, but he’s soaking in every single second. “I try to take every moment in for what it is,” Johnson said. “I try not to take any moment for granted realizing that I am a senior. I’m definitely excited about this year.” In the moments since Johnson walked off the floor in Atlanta following a first round National Invitation Tournament loss in March, a lot has changed for him and the IU program. The coach that recruited and helped him grow is gone, along with the system where he had so much success. His backcourt partner — James Blackmon Jr. — departed for the NBA. Johnson almost joined him.

Entering the NBA Draft process, Johnson heard from many different scouts and front-office executives and decided to return to IU for one last opportunity. The message he said he received was the scouts wanted to see him play point guard at a high level under new coach Archie Miller. “They wanted to see how I will handle being one of the primary scorers this upcoming year,” Johnson said. “And I think, as far as Archie's system, with some of the things that we've already went over, I think it will help me as far as getting in the open court and handling the ball more and pick-and-roll.” Following the announcement that he would come back for his senior season, Johnson dedicated himself to improving both his body and his game. Under Cliff Marshall, the new strength and conditioning coach, Johnson transformed his diet and body. “I've never seen a guy as motivated physically to be where he's at right now,” Miller said. “He's probably the best-conditioned player that I've ever been around.”

Motivated to improve his overall game in the offseason, he is now tasked by Miller with a bigger role on both ends of the court. Miller said that he’s been impressed by the amount of talking he’s seen from Johnson, and he wants him to be more assertive. “I think to keep him as aggressive as possible we want to keep things simple for him and let him be himself,” Miller said. “And I think simplifying things for him, so he can be the most aggressive Rob he can be is a good thing.” That aggression had already been a work in progress. Shooting 174 more times last season than he did as a sophomore, Johnson increased his points per game total by about five points per game. But as the most experienced Hoosier on the roster, he will be asked to more of a leader. “I think it’s just having an attack mentality with everything,” Johnson said. “Defensively, pressuring the ball, staying true to techniques. Offensively, just having the mindset of trying to create either for myself or a teammate every time I have the ball.”

Senior guard Robert Johnson goes up for a layup during the Hoosier Hysteria scrimmage Oct. 21. Johnson is one of several IU men’s basketball seniors in their final year with the program.

When a team changes coaches, it tends to be a major adjustment for the players. The biggest difference between Miller and Tom Crean is the defensive schemes they employ. Miller was known for the strong defenses he cultivated at Dayton. At the center of Miller’s first Hoosier defense will be Johnson, who has been a strong defender in his first three seasons. He knows he’s going to have to step into that role as an attacking perimeter defender. “I think I’m going to have to be More basketball inside Check out the 2017 Basketball Guide inside, and even more basketball content online at specials.idsnews.com/iubb.

Opera ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ coming to MAC By Clark Gudas ckgudas@umail.iu.edu | @This_Isnt_Clark

From the TV screen to the stage, George Bailey is helping angels get their wings in “It’s a Wonderful Life.” “It’s a Wonderful Life” will be performed from Nov. 10-17 at the Musical Arts Center. Tickets start at $12 for students. Based on the 1946 holiday classic, the opera follows George Bailey and his emotional struggle

with lost dreams and financial ruin at the bank he runs. Told through the eyes of his guardian angel Clara, the story begins as she saves George from committing suicide by jumping off a bridge. After George wishes he were never born, Clara takes him through a series of flashbacks that demonstrate how different life would be without him. “It’s a tale of redemption and grace of someone who has had life go against him in every way,” said

Edward Atkinson, the actor playing George Bailey and a grad student studying vocal performance. “He’s shown by this angel that his life is still overflowing with love and goodness.” In one of their flashbacks, Clara and George see George giving out loans to people who can’t afford to pay them so they can have houses. However, profit-oriented banker and antagonist Mr. Potter is more interested in money than human dignity and starts interfering with

George’s work. “He realized how many people he had affected just by being there,” said Anne Slovin, actress playing Clara and grad student studying vocal performance. “One of the wonderful messages of the story is that you’re never actually alone.” In older operas, story development follows a pattern — something happens and characters sing SEE OPERA, PAGE 6

Flower beds decorate the border of Showalter Fountain. Stephen Glaholt, a professor and researcher in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, and Mark Menefee, assistant director for utility services at the IU Central Heating Plant, are co-leading a project to turn greenhouse gases released from the central heating plant into fertilizer using algae.

New fertilizer from greenhouse gases Rebecca Ellis rebellis@iu.edu | @rebeccae_97

IU’s Central Heating Plant, located on North Walnut Grove, will provide more than just heat for IU’s buildings and water. In early summer 2018, green fertilizer will be collected from the building. Stephen Glaholt, a professor and researcher in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs, and Mark Menefee, assistant director for utility services at the Central Heating Plant, are co-leading a project to turn greenhouse gases released from the central heating plant into fertilizer using algae. This project is funded by a $50,000 grant from Duke Energy. “We’re really just taking photosynthesis and applying it in an artificial, human-induced way,” Glaholt said. Glaholt said the tool they are using to convert the gases into fertilizer is a photobioreactor, which is located outside of the heating plant. It is made from large transparent tubes containing algae and is connected to the Central Heating Plant by PVC pipe. Glaholt said the photobioreactor will be built in spring 2018, and it will start producing fertilizer around the

end of May. The conversion of the heating plant’s steam to fertilizer will reduce three greenhouse gases. “We took a waste and made something from it,” Glaholt said. He said the water vapor is emitted from the Central Heating Plant as steam and gets condensed as water to fill up the tubes. He said the nitrogen and carbon dioxide released bubble in the water. “For the algae, we needed water, nutrients and a carbon source,” Glaholt said, adding the algae would get the light they need from the sun. The algae absorb the carbon dioxide and nitrogen compound. This allows them to thrive in the tubes and replicate themselves, providing a buildup of algae. From there, the researchers put the algae into a tank, pumping out some of the excess water. Landscape services will then put it in water wagons, barrel-like structures that administer the fertilizer, and apply it to the landscape. “They will apply it just like they normally would,” Glaholt said, adding that the same people will be administering it using the same machinery. “It should look a little green.”

Mike Girvin, manager of landscape services, said the fertilizer will be used on select flower beds and grassy areas around campus before it is widely used. Landscape services currently use a combination of fertilizers for the grass and Miracle Gro for the flower beds, he said.

“Inorganic fertilizers give a boom and bust. Plants are starving at some point in the middle.” Stephen Glaholt, IU professor

“Initially we will try it on test beds and test turfs to see how it reacts,” Girvin said. Using the fertilizer in IU’s flower beds alone would save around $4,000 per year, Glaholt said. The only cost would be in handling and application. Glaholt said the only concern is the smell of the new fertilizer because they don’t know how it will react when placed on the landscape. “Many say the smell is fruity,” Glaholt said. This project stands apart from

other research collaborations because it is uncommon for faculty and utilities employees to work together as their jobs have different focuses, Glaholt said. Glaholt said the Net Impact Group, a group of four students from the Kelley School of Business, worked with the researchers to find funding for their project. The Net Impact Group founded the Duke Energy Foundation. He said they submitted the proposal, and Duke Energy was excited about the project, offering them financial support. He said it will initially take two weeks after turning the system on to produce fertilizer. After that, they will harvest every three days. The organic algae will give the plants a jolt of nutrients quickly like Miracle Gro fertilizer would, Glaholt said, but the algae will continue giving the plants nutrients long term. “Inorganic fertilizers give a boom and bust,” Glaholt said, “Plants are starving at some point in the middle.” Girvin said this provides an opportunity for landscape services to try something new. “We’re constantly looking for more environmental ways to do our job,” Girvin said.

Three tips for eating lean during the holiday season

LifeDesigns, a group home for disabled Bloomington residents, will be outfitted with $14,600 in solar panels by the end of 2017, thanks to a grant provided by Duke Energy. The grant set up the Solar Uniting Neighbors program to provide $400,000 of solar panels to low-income residents and nonprofits serving low-income Indiana populations. “These are organizations that saw solar as completely out of reach for them, but now we’re bringing them into reach,” said Allyson Mitchell, director of sustainability for Prosperity Indiana, one of the organizations spearheading the project. “We put them in a place where this was an option, where this was made possible.” Jennifer Washburn, chair of Citizens Action Coalition’s Indiana council on energy, said they wanted to help nonprofits adopt solar power because they cannot take advantage of government tax credits offered to for-profit companies that adopt solar power. She said solar power can be expensive and without those tax credits, they may seem out-of-reach for a lot of nonprofits. “We want to help them get over that hump,” she said. Mitchell said the solar panels could give these organizations more budget space. “We hope they’ll help lower energy costs and let them funnel funding into what they do best — helping low-income folks,” she said.

Oh, the holidays. The perfect time of year to pretend to know the names of family members you see once a year. Holidays also mean lots of food. Here are the tips posted on IU Newsroom for eating well during the holidays from IU dietitian Steven Lalevich. Eat within a timeframe Eat breakfast and avoid eating late at night, Lalevich advises. Also consider shortening your window of eating to 10-12 hours. “For example, you might start the day with some eggs and fruit for breakfast at 7 a.m. and then finish eating your holiday dinner by 7 p.m. to stay within a 12-hour window,” Lalevich said. Avoid inflammatory foods Vegetables, fruits and nuts help reduce inflammation that makes people put on weight. Added sugars and refined

LifeDesigns, located at Winslow Road and Walnut Street Pike, provides services and support to people with disabilities across southern Indiana. Its group home for disabled Bloomington residents will be outfitted with $14,600 in solar panels by the end of 2017, thanks to a grant provided by Duke Energy.

tive director of Prosperity Indiana, said these lower energy costs could provide new economic freedom for nonprofits. The grant was a part of a settlement agreement in a lawsuit against Duke Energy. The coalition, the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor, Nucor Steel, Save the Valley, Sierra Club and Valley Watch were among the organizations that filed the lawsuit in March 2014. Duke’s integrated gasification power plant in Knox County, Indiana, was a high carbon-emitting plant that didn’t meet regulatory requirements for emissions, Washburn said. She said the coalition members thought putting money toward reducing carbon emissions would be a good way to make

amends. “We wanted to address carbon concerns and help support nonprofits serving vulnerable populations at the same time,” she said. Mitchell said Solar Uniting Neighbors chose LifeDesigns and 16 other nonprofits from a large pool of applicants. Along with the application, the organizations submitted their utility bills for the last 12 months so that SUN could pinpoint which organizations could benefit most from solar panels. Washburn said LifeDesigns’s LED lights and energy-efficient appliances, as well as their dedication to serve people with disabilities, won the program organizers over. “It was so hard to choose with so many great applicants, but LifeDesigns showed it was just as

dedicated to helping the environment than it was to serving low-income folks,” she said. Mitchell said the SUN program is working to help the organizations find reputable solar panel installers so that their panels will be installed by the end of the year. She said she hopes the program will be a helping hand to these nonprofits and also make solar power a possibility for other Bloomington residents who haven’t considered the idea. Another goal of the program is to get more people engaged in transitioning Hoosier energy use into the future, she said. “We want to normalize solar in Indiana,” she said. “It’s not just for California, Nevada, Arizona. It’s for us.”

grains, however, do not. “Chronic, low-level inflammation is associated with weight gain and obesity, and some foods help reduce inflammation, while others cause inflammation,” Lalevich said. For holiday meals, fill your plate with colorful vegetables, Lalevich said, and when it comes to dessert, choose fruit. Less iPhone, more sleep The beeps and buzzes of phone notifications contribute to stress, bad sleep and inflammation, Lalevich said. “The blue light emitted by your smartphone screen decreases production of the hormone melatonin,” Lalevich said. “In addition to helping us sleep, melatonin plays important roles in reducing inflammation and regulating your metabolism.” He recommends turning your phone off an hour before you go to bed.

Interfaith shelter needs 150 more volunteers By Peter Talbot pjtalbot@iu.edu | @petejtalbot

The Interfaith Emergency Winter Shelter is completely run by volunteers. But the shelter needs 150 more volunteers for winter to make sure they can help all who need it. Last winter, the coldest day in Bloomington had a low of minus 4 degrees and an average wind speed of eight mph. In those kinds of conditions, frostbite can set in within 30 minutes, according to the National Weather Service. At the Interfaith Emergency Winter Shelter on West 3rd Street and South Westplex Avenue, volunteers help keep people who are homeless in Bloomington out of those dangerous conditions. “The mission of the Interfaith Winter Shelter is to provide a warm safe place for people to sleep for people who need it during the winter," said former shelter board president Dann Watts, 74. In the past, the shelter has operated out of five different locations throughout the week. This year, the shelter has found a permanent space at Wheeler Mission, a ministry that provides services to the homeless. Watts said the move made it easier for guests and volunteers to locate the shelter, allows them to consolidate supplies and better link guests to other services in Bloomington. “It's somewhat complicated when someone new says 'I want to go to the shelter,' and you have to tell them, 'If it's Monday it's here, if it's Wednesday here.’ When it's all in one location, it's easier,” Watts said. Already this fall, temperatures have dipped below freezing. The Interfaith Emer-

Dan Watts, the former board president of the Interfaith Emergency Winter Shelter, explains the history of the shelter. The shelter was built for people experiencing homelessness 10 years ago and is completely run by volunteers.

gency Winter Shelter opened Nov. 1, and Watts said they are receiving around 35 guests a night. As of Tuesday, the shelter had 340 volunteers, but Watts said more are needed. “At the moment, we probably need another 150 volunteers. That would make things run much more smoothly,” Watts said. At 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, in classroom seven of the First Presbyterian Church, Watts held a training session for new volunteers. Seven people, most of them IU students, came to learn more about the shelter and get involved. Watts said that last year, 150 IU students volunteered at the shelter. Jennie Moser, a graduate student at IU, sings in the

church choir at First United Church. She said she came because the church encouraged her to volunteer at the shelter last winter. Moser said that she wants to volunteer at the shelter because she can help those who can't provide for themselves. “There’s no reason I can’t skip an episode of Netflix to do something more productive,” Moser said. Watts said training is an overstretched word to describe how he prepares volunteers for shifts at the shelter. Watts offered background information on the shelter, described the five different shifts and tried to give volunteers an idea of what a typical night in the shelter looks like. Watts said one of the most

important things the shelter does is encourage volunteers to interact with guests. “It sort of sets the tone for what we're trying to achieve, that this is a friendly place, and we value everybody as individuals,” Watts said. “We want to be friendly, and volunteers are important for that.” Watts said that the first shift, from about 7:30 to 11:30 p.m., where volunteers help get guests registered for the night and eat dinner, is when volunteers have the best chance to interact with guests. During registration, guests are asked a few demographic questions and put their belongings away for the night to reduce theft in the shel-

ter. Guests also go through a weapons screening to ensure the safety of all guests. From 8 to 10:30 p.m., a separate kitchen shift prepares and serves soup or sandwiches for dinner. The second shift runs from 11:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. Watts said volunteers are there during that time in case something happens. If a fire alarm goes off, volunteers need to be there to make sure everyone exits the building. Watts said volunteers at this time can read or use their Wi-Fi. The third shift goes from 2:30 to 5 a.m. Volunteers do much of the same work as the second shift, but they are responsible for making coffee toward the end of their shift.

The fourth shift starts at 6 a.m. Volunteers clean up the shelter by putting bedding in laundry bags and cleaning mattresses, mats and pillows. Altogether, the shelter requires 20-25 volunteers a night. Lynne Foster Shifriss, current board member and volunteer, said she completed her first shift Nov. 1 from 2:45 a.m. to 6 a.m. In an email, Shifriss said she was nervous before going to volunteer, but it turned out to be OK. “Quiet and peaceful here,” Shifriss posted on Facebook about that first night. "The guests are mostly really grateful and polite. Most are still sleeping; a few are up reading or talking.” Shifriss said in the email a friend commented and said most are afraid to help. Another friend assured the commenter multiple volunteers and site directors are present and trained to handle anything out of the ordinary. "Mostly, I knitted and chatted with another volunteer," Shifriss posted on Facebook. "One guy wanted to leave early; we got his bag of belongings and gave it to him. One person needed my help to get into her bag of belongings and get her prescription medication." At the training session, Watts said most nights are quiet and peaceful, but incidents do happen. “Most of the guests actually verbalize the fact that they're very grateful to volunteers and individual people for coming out and helping them,” Watts said. “So, it's not just masses of people who come in and leave without saying a word. They really are appreciative, and they really say that.”

Speaker discusses complexities of ‘Kurdish question’ By Caroline Anders anders6@umail.iu.edu | @clineands

Djene Bajalan, a history professor at Missouri State University, set out Wednesday to consider misconceptions associated with the question of Kurdish aspirations for statehood from the Ottoman Empire to the present. Bajalan's talk at the Global and International Studies Building focused primarily on current implications of the 'Kurdish Question.' The presentation, titled "The Kurdish Question beyond Statehood: From Ottomanism to Democratic Confederalism,” proved simply too large to discuss in only an hour, Bajalan said. The Kurds are a people who were displaced after World War I when the boundaries of Turkey were determined. This population never obtained its own physi-

cal state, despite having a prominent cultural identity. The question of what to do with and about the Kurds is one that has ultimately transcended history — Kurds in Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria are still fighting in various ways for freedom. These nations have consistently fought to ensure that the Kurds remain stateless. Ambassador Feisal Is-

trabadi, founding director of the Center for the Study of the Middle East who hosted Bajalan, said it's a goal of his program to introduce academic perspectives to current events. “This issue in particular has been in the newspaper for quite some time, but what has been absent from the discourse has been this sort of theoretical, academic analy-

sis of these events,” he said. He praised Bajalan for tying current topical events into his analysis and not sitting in what he called the ivory tower of academia. “The Kurdish question is seen largely as a question of security,” Bajalan said. “It’s basically the idea that Kurdish political activism, what we might call in America ‘Kurdish identity politics,’ inevitably tends toward nationalism.” Bajalan described nationalism primarily as the unrelenting quest to achieve a physical nation-state where the Kurdish people could settle. He explained Turkey is the nation most hostile toward the presence of the Kurds, and the idea that Kurds are inherently nationalistic is what drives that hostility. This, however, is far too simple of an explanation, Bajalan said. “Humans are lazy think-

ers,” he said. “Setting it as this easy binary of ‘Kurds want a state and the people who rule the Kurds do not want them to have one’ is easy.” His contention was that not all Kurds want a nationstate, and some are actually opposed to the idea. The Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) headed by Abdullah Öcalan initially embraced the idea of a panKurdish state combining all Kurds across the Middle East but eventually took a sharp turn in ideology. The PKK now supports a libertarian socialist political system known as democratic confederalism that rejects the nation-state. This ideology was theorized by Öcalan. “When we look at these developments, some people see these ideologies as something new, something modern, something exciting,” Bajalan said. “My point is the idea that the rejection of the

nation-state as a solution to the Kurdish question is not new.” Bajalan took special care to identify why this distinction should be important to academics. “I think there’s a perhaps more interesting point here: if we reject the idea that Kurdish political activism is the same as Kurdish nationalism in every case, we can develop more interesting research questions,” he said. “Specifically, how and why have kinds of different moments in history mobilized their identity in different ways?” This distinction could even influence future policy if observed by governmental powers. “Perhaps on a policy level we can counter the stereotypes that exist among state elites that any form of national activism is inevitably going to lead toward conflict,” Bajalan said.

Thursday, Nov. 9, 2017 idsnews.com

Editors Maggie Eickhoff and Dylan Moore opinion@idsnews.com

EDITORIAL BOARD

DUMP THE TOXIN DUMPING Indiana’s corporations must reduce their chemical emissions, prioritize health of residents and environment

I

ndiana released 129.9 million pounds of toxins into the environment in 2016, according to recent chemical disposal inventory conducted by the EPA. Only five other states — Alaska, Louisiana, Nevada, Texas and Utah — released more toxins into the air, water and soil. The Editorial Board maintains that this egregious disregard for the health of our citizens cannot continue. We implore the state or national government to pass legislation that reduces the quantity of toxins released into the environment or strongly regulates and monitors how such releases occur. Indiana now releases more toxins per square mile than any other state or territory in the nation, and the majority of these compounds are carcinogenic or associated with nervous system damage. The state also leads the nation in smallparticle air pollution, which can exacerbate respiratory disease and increase the incidence of cancer and heart disease. Air pollution is estimated to cause 3.3 million premature deaths around the world each year, and costs the global economy more than $5 trillion annually. Approximately 200,000 of these annual deaths occur in the United States, the same amount of deaths caused by car accidents, diabetes, suicide, heroin and prescription opioid overdoses, gun homicide and terrorism per year combined. The important takeaway is that air pollution, while more abstract than a car accident or mass shooting, kills far more people each year, and the media coverage and legislative actions in response to such pollution should be proportional. For every square mile, 3,567 pounds of chemicals are released from one of Indiana’s

926 monitored facilities, with the majority released by steel companies such as the U.S. Steel Corporation Gary Works. Last year, the U.S. Justice Department imposed a $2.2 million fine on U.S. Steel for Clean Air Act violations. Globally, steel industries are the second biggest emitter of carbon dioxide, the primary greenhouse gas. Many traditional methods of reducing carbon emissions, such as switching to electric vehicles or renewable sources of energy, do not address the carbon emissions of the industrial manufacturers of common building materials like steel and cement. Further innovation is required to develop methods to manufacture these materials that don’t produce large amounts of pollutants, but they can still make industry changes that lower energy consumption, thus lowering their production of greenhouse gases. For the steel industry, one potential solution is to incentivize the use of electric arc furnaces, which consume approximately one third of the energy required by the traditional basic oxygen blast furnace. U.S. Steel planned to build one such arc furnace at its Birmingham, Alabama, steelworks, but cancelled the project in 2015 to address unrelated market losses. The majority of Indiana’s chemical production is recycled, treated, or used for energy recovery, but it is still simply unacceptable that nearly 130 million pounds of pollutants are put into Hoosier soil, air, and water each year. If the health of our state’s citizens and environment is to be prioritized, Indiana lawmakers and industries must take drastic action to further reduce this quantity.

claimed that the attack was due to a lack of vetting. While a merit-based system may sound effective in theory, it could potentially have a negative effect on U.S. industry. The United States runs on low-skilled labor. Without agriculture and most service sectors of the economy, the country would struggle. David Card, an economics professor at University of California, Berkeley, said there will be a lack of low-skilled workers in the future anyway, especially as baby boomers leave the work force. Some of the top 10 industries that would be affected if there was a limit on legal, low-skill immigration would be textile manufacturing, agriculture and

food service. A decrease in low-skilled migrants would have trickle-down effects on the rest of the economy. Low-skilled migrant workers are consumers that help U.S. businesses. An increase in low-skilled immigrants in a city is correlated with a decease in prices for the goods and services they provide. These people are contributing to the economy, not hurting it. Immigrants contribute to the current economy, but they can have great impacts on future economies as well, whether through themselves or their children. Andrew Carnegie was a son of a Scottish hand loom weaver and then revolutionized the steel industry. Chobani was founded by a Turkish immigrant, Hamdi

Ulukaya. Google’s cofounder Sergei Brin came to the U.S. as a refugee. These are just a few of the examples of American innovation by immigrants or the children of immigrants. According to President Trump, a merit-based immigration system would help, but the effects it could have on the present economy are devastating. Low-skilled immigrants form the backbone of this nation. They provide home healthcare, work our service jobs and harvest our food. And while limiting them may make some Americans feel safe now, all it will really do is hurt the American economy and stunt our innovation in the future. npatwari@indiana.edu

MULLING IT OVER WITH MERM

‘House of Cards’ cancellation may have just been a PR move Miranda Garbaciak is a senior in creative writing.

Amid allegations of sexual assault and a surprise coming-out story from Kevin Spacey, Netflix has decided to pull the plug on its original series "House of Cards." It is incredible Netflix has canceled a critically acclaimed show, but this is what should be expected of mega corporations when such frightening allegations are made against stars of television shows. There is more to this cancellation than Spacey’s allegations, though. It appears Netflix could have used Spacey's allegations as a more PR-friendly reason to cancel "House of Cards." Apparently, Netflix made the decision to end the show after its sixth season months ago. This may just be a convenient occasion for Netflix officials to announce the end of the show. Since its original announcement Oct. 30, Netflix has modified its statement to say production is suspended indefinitely. The decision to suspend

production now is wiser than pushing through to release the sixth and final season. By releasing the final season, Netflix would be advertising the message that it values the money from streams of the last season of the show more than it condemns alleged violent ac-

tions of its actors. In all reality, Netflix has canceled its shows for lesser reasons. While it was shocking to hear that "House of Cards" was getting canceled, one must remember the shows Netflix canceled this summer, such as "Sense8" and "The Get Down."

These shows contained incredible diversity and ingenuity. They were canceled because they were costing the company too much money, and it couldn’t afford to carry on. "House of Cards" reportedly cost Netflix approximately $60 million per season, making it the

fifth-most expensive show on Netflix. The most recent season of "House of Cards" had the lowest score on Rotten Tomatoes at 69 percent, compared to the fourth season's rating of 88 percent. Netflix has budgeted over $6 billion for its upcoming original series in the next year, even though it is supposedly $4.8 billion in debt. Netflix CFO David Wells justified the move by saying the company used to be “project-constrained” and did not worry about its budget. However, it would like to make its content more "budget-constrained" moving forward. Perhaps the combination of Spacey’s actions, the cost of each season and falling ratings are what lead to the cancellation of the show. It would be a show of solidarity for sexual assault victims if his alleged actions alone were what motivated Netflix to cancel the show. However, the other factors in play suggest the actions were just something convenient it could use as a good PR move.

From The Walk to the postgame locker room, take an inside look at what an athletic director does on a football gameday. The IDS spent a day

FOLLOWING FRED

By Jordan Guskey jguskey@umail.iu.edu | @JordanGuskey

Some of Fred Glass’ earliest memories are from IU football games. There’s a football, one of many he remembers being handed out to “average goofs” like him the year after IU went to the Rose Bowl, in his office in Memorial Stadium that can always bring them back. But he doesn’t just keep it around for the aesthetic value or because it’s a cool memento. IU’s athletic director used to be the kind of kid who turned sweatshirts inside out and drew Hoosier uniforms on them with his favorite players’ numbers. He even met his wife, Barbara, as a junior at IU in the east grandstands during a game. The football represents Glass’ challenge. Every game day is about fans making memories. Memorial Stadium is their destination, and he’s running the show. “I try to be very, very accessible,” Glass said. “I’m the ultimate host.” Everything comes back on him. Before the kick Glass is all smiles as the buses carrying IU Coach Tom Allen and the rest of the football team arrive just after 9:45 a.m. near the west entrance of Assembly Hall. It’s time for The Walk, the first pregame activity of the day for the Hoosiers before their Nov. 4 game against the Wisconsin Badgers. There aren’t many fans waiting along the route the team will take into the stadium. Noon kickoffs have had that effect in the past, but the light rain and fog that have blanketed Bloomington for much of the morning have further accentuated it. Glass can see his own breath and grumbled before the team arrived about how the rain forced him to don a hat so early in the day. He says the white cap, which has “Hundred” in crimson block letters across the front, the IU logo over his left ear and “Play 13” over his right, will give him hat hair. His shoes are a source of joy, though. The pair’s vibrant design hits every shade of the rainbow in a checkered pattern that makes his feet pop against the dull, concrete pavement. Glass said he once saw former IU basketball player Troy Williams wearing them and had to get himself a pair. “I can’t pull it off like Troy,” Glass cautions, “but I like to have fun shoes.” They’re hard to miss as he matches Allen stride for stride, no doubt powered by the unsweetened iced tea and double steak burger with cheese he ordered

this morning from Steak ‘n Shake. The fans at The Walk are mostly the same die-hards who go every time, although this year Allen has Glass passing them at a brisker pace than former head coach Kevin Wilson used to. Wesley Jones, Glass’ body man and an assistant director with IU Athletics, picks him up in an electric vehicle affectionately called the “Fredmobile” once he’s done. Jones is Glass’ companion throughout the majority of the day until Glass retires to his office in the third quarter. At 10 a.m. Glass is back near where The Walk started, joking during a pregame radio interview that it’s actually beautiful outside. To each question about the team in Allen’s first year as head coach, he offers the usual optimistic, but hungry for more, response. Glass checks in at the Big Red Bash, an IU Alumni Association event, 16 minutes later and slaps on a name tag. “It’s a bit presumptuous not to have one,” Glass says. Jones wasn’t exactly sure Glass would be on the list. Glass takes his time and mingles, more often than not greeting someone with, “How are you doing, brother?” He checks in with Edson Sample, who funded the Sample Gates, and later can be found sharing Halloween pictures of his granddaughters with the daughter of one of his former law partners. He’s not off the clock, though. One attendee presses him to make the bison IU’s mascot. Glass later says that it’s a decision above his pay grade, but he does try to lure his wife to the Big Red Bash by texting her a picture of some bananas foster. “Let’s see if this works,” Glass mumbles to himself. It doesn’t — she can’t tell what he took a picture of. Glass decides to leave the tent at 11 a.m., and he tells Jones to meet him at Varsity Club Day, while he goes to track down his wife. When he finds her at a tailgate and asks how she is, she says, “It’s cold.” The detour causes Glass to arrive at Memorial Stadium’s Henke Hall of Champions at 11:20 a.m., 20 minutes behind his official schedule. He doesn’t seem to mind. “These are the fun people,” Glass says. Jones breathes a sigh of relief when he sees Glass. Sometimes he feels like he’s taking a leap of faith when the two split up and agree to meet somewhere. Glass stands off to the side with Jones as Mark Deal, a former IU player and coach-turnedassistant athletic director for alumni relations, promises the

Day in the life 9:45 a.m. IU Coach Tom Allen and the football team arrive near the west entrance of Assembly Hall 10 a.m. Fred Glass is near where The Walk started, giving a pregame radio interview 11:20 a.m. Glass arrives at Memorial Stadium’s Henke Hall of Champions back from his tailgate 11:49 a.m. Glass walks through the weight room and onto the field, to the left of Hep’s Rock crowd of IU Athletics fundraisers the Hoosiers will win. Glass is confident, too, but mentions in passing that Wisconsin might try to run up the score if it gets the chance. So far, Glass hasn’t been approached about the men’s basketball team as much as he would this time of the season in past years. The Hall of Fame induction ceremony the night before might be responsible for that to some extent. “I think this team has held fans’ interest longer and deeper than in the past,” Glass reasons, “but this is Indiana, and a lot of people’s first love is basketball.” Jones has Glass moving quickly now. It’s 11:49 a.m., only 17 minutes before kickoff, and they need to beat the team to the weight room if Glass is going to make it to the field and get to his usual spot. There are no secret signals when Jones needs to get Glass going, he merely says, “Hey, it’s time to go, we need to go.” They take the stairs down to field level, walk through the weight room and out onto the field to the left of Hep’s Rock just before noon. Once the Marching Hundred finishes its pregame responsibilities, Glass and Jones must freeze in order to not be trampled by the trumpet-carrying and drum-wielding Hoosier musicians. Game time Glass watches IU’s first offensive possession after kickoff end quickly with a punt before starting to make his way up and through the student section. Glass and Jones are joined by two

others who carry bags of T-shirts they plan to throw out to students at the game. “Thanks for firing Crean,” one shouts at Glass. “Buy me a beer, Fred,” yells another. The whole way up Glass is thanking students for coming and shaking their hands. The vast majority don’t even notice him as they watch Wisconsin drive down the field, and most care more about the free T-shirts than who he is. “Most of them don’t know who I am, and I don’t expect them to,” Glass says as he walks across an empty row toward the Marching Hundred. Back on the field, he watches from the north end zone as IU marches down the field and takes the lead on its first touchdown of the day. He cheers, but reservedly so compared to others around him. He wants to lead by example and not get too high or too low. The first on-field recognition, this for a major donation, went off without a hitch. But as Glass makes his way to the south end zone through the IU bench past people Jones describes as “already big, and bigger with pads,” his leisurely stroll turns to a jog and finally a sprint in a handful of steps. The second recognition is for the women’s basketball team, and they are already walking onto the field when Glass finally joins them. In between the next two recognitions in the north end zone, he notices a cut on his right thumb and minor blood stains on the paper he’s holding that outlines his schedule. “You shake so many hands you don’t want a cut,” Glass says. “It’s kind of gross.” Jones grabbed a disinfectant wipe and a Band-Aid from the bench to rectify the situation. The mood of the game shifts after Glass takes part in his final recognition of the half. Once the women’s cross-country team leaves the field, IU immediately turns the ball over on a controversial fumble. Boos rain down from fans as Glass starts to make the march up the west grandstands toward the suites and press box. A fan a section over nearly hits an IU staffer on the field with a water bottle. Like with the student section, Glass shakes hands with those who recognize him and those who don’t, thanking them all for coming. Behind him, Wisconsin takes a 14-10 lead. “Get 37 worked out,” one fan hollers. Glass is amused. Jones admires Glass’ ability to react on the fly to unpredictable fans and their many questions and suggestions, and he thinks a lot of that ability comes from Glass’ background in politics.

KATIE FRANKE | IDS

IU Athletics Director Fred Glass wheels the oldest member of 50 Year Varsity Club Donors off the field after an on-field recognition ceremony at the game against Wisconsin on Nov. 4. Glass was appointed athletics director in 2009.

Glass arrives at the stadium club seats with a few minutes left in the half and says hello to some people before heading up to the sixth floor suites, which cost $45,000 to rent for the year. Then, as the teams take the field and get ready for the second half, he makes his way back to his office to the small group of family and friends who haven’t seen him since he stopped by their tailgate earlier in the day. Among them is his wife, who calls his reserved demeanor at games an act, and says he is totally different when he watches at home. The excitement everyone in his office, which has a terrace overlooking the field, shared in the third quarter when IU trailed 24-17 turned to disappointment as turnovers ended IU’s hopes for a comeback and allowed Wisconsin to run up the score. With a few minutes left, as he usually does, Glass hits the field. As he posted up near the back corner of the north end zone closest to IU’s bench, Wisconsin scored its final touchdown to cap a 45-17 win for the Badgers. After the final whistle Glass went to the locker room for Allen’s postgame remarks once the loss became official, as is his routine for any game. The team’s disappointment with letting another ranked Big Ten opponent slip away in the second half was evident. Glass tried to stay positive though and stuck with Allen for the radio interview with Don Fischer and postgame press conference. Afterward, he finds a quiet moment with him in the weight room to share some private thoughts. Once they parted ways, Glass went up to his office to reconnect with his wife and watch some television before heading back to their house in Indianapolis. They also have a condo in Bloomington, and while Glass prefers to stay over in town when they can, his wife had plans to visit relatives and needed to get back to Indianapolis. When they do stay over, Glass enjoys going to Bear’s Place on the southeast side of campus. “It’s a good college place, but also is full of music students, and most of them don’t know there was a game and don’t know who I am,” Glass said. “We can have a couple drinks and decompress.”

He was also an actor, winning Best Male Performance in 2014 at the Yxine Film Festival, a Vietnamese online international short film festival. He also worked as an interpreter for the Republic of Korea’s Air Force and interned at Cummins, Inc., a Fortune 500 company. Ryan Andrew, a former classmate of Baek’s, started a GoFundMe to raise funds for the funeral services. In the description for the campaign, Andrew wrote about Baek’s merits as a student and as a person, writing of his constant smiles and jokes in addition to his academic performance in Kelley. “His academic career was not just good grades, as Julian was a part of many clubs and associations, always trying to give back to the people that helped him succeed,” the campaign’s description reads. More than $22,000 has been raised to pay for the funeral in four days, with almost 400 campaign supporters donating money. The campaign’s original goal of $7,000 was exceeded in one day, prompting Andrew to raise the goal to not limit donations to cover any other potential expenses.

However, a contemporary opera like “It’s a Wonderful Life” has a faster pace. “What happens in this opera is, as they’re singing, something is happening,” Atkinson said. “So it is an opera absolutely built for modern audiences.” The opera’s genres include jazz, ragtime and patriotic hymns, all falling in line with the '30s and '40s musical styles. “It’s definitely very friendly and easy to listen to,” Atkinson said. “There’s so many beautiful moments between the cast members. Some of the most beautiful music I’ve heard in my life.” The music itself, written by Jake Heggie, is important to the storytelling in ways similar to theater, Slovin said. “He creates music, both melody and orchestral textures, that really create theater, really create drama,” Slovin said. “It isn’t just that it’s theatrical music, it’s music that will grab the audience.

“Being able to just ask the composer is an incredible experience,” Slovin said. “You could just walk up to them and say, ‘Hey Jake, what did you mean when you wrote this?’ Jake was able to sit us down and say, ‘Here’s how you act that.' You can’t just ask Mozart.’” Whether going for mov-

The most common STI, HPV, exists in more than 40 different types. By Lauren Fazekas lfazekas@iu.edu

Human papillomavirus, usually abbreviated HPV, is the most common sexually transmitted infection known to humans today. Having sexual intercourse increases the chance of more than 40 different types of HPV to infect genital areas of both men and women, regardless of age, according to Planned Parenthood’s website. “A lot of people are unaware that they have it,” Kayla Tejada, a representative at Planned Parenthood, said. “It can go away on its own based off of how strong your immune system is.” Although the common infection is generally harmless, if left unchecked, certain types of HPV put a person at greater risk for genital warts and cancer in areas like the vagina, penis, anus, mouth and throat, the Planned Parenthood website says. According to Tejada, women who come to Planned Parenthood for annual exams get pap smears, which test for abnormal cells on the cervix. This can indicate whether or not a person has HPV. Tejada also said men can get HPV as well, but there isn’t a test to indicate whether they have it. “Women are more prone; the cervical tissue is much more susceptible to developing cancer in the setting

of a high-risk HPV strain. High-risk HPV strains can much less be associated with vaginal and vulvar cancers,” Dr. Judy Klein, a staff physician of the IU Health Center said. “And then in men and women, they can be associated with anal cancer, and in men, very rarely, cancer of the penis.”

“The estimates are that 80 percent of sexually active adults will have an HPV infection at some time in their lives because it is very common.” Dr. Judy Klein, IU Health Center

It’s recommended women start receiving pap smears once they are 21, and although women who are not sexually active have a lower risk for cervical cancer, considering the exam is still useful, according to an article from the Mayo Clinic. “The estimates are that 80 percent of sexually active adults will have an HPV infection at sometime in their lives because it is very common,”

Klein said. Klein listed four different ways to prevent the spread and contraction of HPV, including vaccinating 11- to 12-year-old children with the FDAapproved HPV vaccination, using condoms consistently, limiting the number of lifetime sexual partners and monitoring alcohol intake. “Be careful about alcohol. We see that when people have their judgment impaired by alcohol, the commitment to using condoms goes out the door,” Klein said. While there are some cures for the health problems HPV causes, like genital warts, there is not a cure for the virus itself, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website. “The HPV vaccine can be given later. It’s FDA approved to age 26 in women and age 21 in men, but we give it to people who are older if they want it,” Klein said. “People can get the HPV vaccine at the health center; it’s a series of three shots given over a sixmonth period.” The IU Health Center offers pap smears, contraception counseling and other gynecological services for students to take advantage of, its website says. To make an appointment, call the health center’s number at 317-9447010.

Aphrodisiacs: fact or fiction? Rachel Rosenstock is a senior in journalism.

Aphrodisiac foods are the stuff of urban legend and racy movie scenes, but do they actually work? Does eating a cherry really give you more health benefits than just some vitamin C? If you’ve ever simply laid eyes on an oyster, you would know why I’m so skeptical about claims that it is a mood-enhancer. As it turns out, there’s a lot more to the science behind aphrodisiac foods than is apparent from watching two actors lick chocolate off each other’s beautiful bodies. Simply Googling “aphrodisiac foods” gives you a pretty good idea of how much pseudoscience and wishful thinking is mixed in with actual facts. First off, we have to decipher the origin of the word aphrodisiac, which may already be apparent to those familiar with Greek mythology. Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty, and the word derives from her name meaning “preparation or drug pertaining to sexual desire.” The ancients also thought olive oil did a lot for the body. Among its many benefits, olive oil boosts circulation throughout the body and was also used by the sexually-

active Greeks as a lubricant. I mean, if you’ve ever seen one of those Greek urns depicting orgies and trysts of all kinds, you know how crazy those people could get way back when. Some aphrodisiacs are more symbolic than anything else. Take the fig: it is a great source of potassium and iron, which are essential inside or outside of the bedroom. The

aphrodisiac qualities of figs go all the way back to Adam and Eve, with some historians claiming that it was the actual forbidden fruit. The inside of a fig represents fertility, while the fig leaf has historically been used to represent modesty. That is the leaf typically seen covering a Greek or Roman statue’s or painting’s unmentionables. The fig leaves were often added later by rul-

ers and church leaders. Chocolate is one of the foods most commonly thought to be an aphrodisiac, but the scientific results on its effectiveness are generally disappointing. Studies from both 2006 and 2015 found chocolate certainly won’t hurt you trying to get in the mood, but it won’t necessarily help either. Chocolate is found to be re-

lated to higher serotonin levels in the brain but not to an increased sex drive. Unfortunately, there may be some truth to oysters being aphrodisiacs. Appearance notwithstanding, they are high in zinc, which can increase sperm count and are also high in omega-3 fatty acids, which can improve the function of your nervous system. I guess the Romans were on to something here. But college partiers beware: some of your favorite pastimes can actually be anaphrodisiacs, meaning they inhibit libido and sexual desire. Yes, shockingly, drinking until you are blackout drunk may in fact make it harder to get your sexy on later. My main takeaway from this research is that often aphrodisiacs are a mindover-matter issue. It’s less about whatever food you eat increasing desire or drive, but the state of mind you’re in while you eat it. If you’re having fun and are attracted to whomever you share a meal with, you’re more likely to have a fun time later. No amount of chocolate or cherries will make you excited to get with someone you don’t like. Choose food and partners wisely, and you’re likely to have a good time.

Rubbers won’t erase, but can prevent Katelyn Haas is a senior in journalism.

There comes a time in many young people's lives when the word "latex" takes on a new meaning. No longer is it a protective tool for your hands, but something much greater. I am talking about condoms. Condoms are a popular

contraception tool for pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Planned Parenthood defines a condom as a "thin, stretchy pouch you wear on your penis during sex." Or, as the kid in my fourth grade class put it on our elementary school's sex education trip, "that little balloon you're not supposed to blow up." Though data on STDs and condom use is limited, the

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say consistent latex condom use reduces the risk for STDs including chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomoniasis. Female condoms, though less well known, are pouches put into the vagina, giving more control to prevent HIV/ STDs. Planned Parenthood states using a condom, if used perfectly every time, is 98

percent effective at preventing pregnancy. But, in actual practice, condoms are 85 percent effective. When looking at protecting yourself and your partner, how does someone know if they have covered all their bases? The CDC lays out some tips. DO’s and DON'Ts of using a male condom DO use a condom every time you choose to have sex.

Obviously. DO put on a condom before having sex, making sure to check the expiration date. DO NOT put condoms in a wallet or pockets, as heat and friction can damage them. DO NOT go crazy with the baby oil and lotion. A broken condom will not make your experience more enjoyable. DO NOT use more than one condom at a time. It is

ambitious, I respect it. But, it defeats the purpose. DO NOT reuse a condom. Gross. There are other contraceptive tools to use for pregnancy as well, including birth control oral pills, hormonal implants or injections, contraceptive vaginal rings or spermicide. However, latex condoms are the most effective method for preventing STDs, according to the CDC.

A conversation with Dr. Debby Herbenick Herbenick writes the Kinsey Confidential column answering questions about sex. By Katie Chrisco kchrisco@umail.iu.edu | @KatieChrisco

D

r. Debby Herbenick is a sex educator and researcher. She is currently the Director for the Center for Sexual Health Promotion, author of the Kinsey Confidential column and a professor who teaches human sexuality at IU. She hosts the Bloomington Sex Salon and was as a co-producer for the Netflix documentary, "Hot Girls Wanted." Her research focuses on creating a better understanding of how contemporary women and men experience their sexual lives. Herbenick spoke to the IDS about her research, the Kinsey Confidential column and sexuality in the United States. Indiana Daily Student Could you talk about your background and how you got into sex research? Herbenick I did my undergrad at the

University of Maryland and I studied psychology and child development, and when I graduated college, the Kinsey Institute was doing research on child and adolescent sexual development. So, even though I hadn’t studied sex before, it was interesting to me because of the child and adolescent piece, and I started working there and realized how little I knew, at the time, about sexuality, how little most of my friends knew about sexuality, and I wanted to stay and keep learning more. So I stayed at IU, and I went back to grad school and I learned about public health and sexual behavior and sexual health, and became a sexual educator and researcher. IDS Do you have a favorite study you've worked on? Herbenick We’ve done a lot. My team has published more than 100 scientific studies on sexuality. I think some of my favorites are — one was about exerciseinduced orgasm. So this experience that

some people have, about 10 percent of men and women have, of having orgasms while they do certain kinds of exercises that are really difficult for their core abdominal muscles. So, lots of crunches or pull ups and crunches, or pull ups and chin ups, things like that, but also running, if you do it for long enough. And so, we were the first people to publish a study on that. It was interesting to me because it was just so unknown, and so there was a lot that we could be curious about and investigate. And then I’ve done a lot of research on how men and women feel about their genitals, so genital self-image and through some of that work, a friend and colleague and I wrote a book about vulvas and vaginas called “Read my Lips.” It was all about vulvar and vaginal health and sexual pleasure, as well as vulvar crafting ideas in every chapter. So those have been really fun, but probably what we’re most known for are these very large-scale studies of sexual behavior in the United States. IDS You were a co-producer for the Netflix documentary "Hot Girls Wanted," what was that experience like? Herbenick So what my colleague and I in the media school did as co-producers was really provide research to the film. So we provided research information to the directors and the producers, and it was just fascinating to understand more about how documentary films are made, to get to talk with filmmakers about their process. And we’ve still worked with them. IDS Why is it important to publish information about sex, like the Kinsey Confidential column? Herbenick I think it’s really important that student newspapers, in general, publish fact-based information about sex. Like I said, when I graduated from college and first came to Kinsey as a research assistant at the time, it was eyeopening how much of what I thought I knew was wrong. I teach human sexuality here at IU, and I find that most of my students have never had much sex education in school. If they have, it’s just been limited to a few days, and that’s typical for Americans everywhere. There’s not a lot of sex ed. So I think that’s why it’s important. You know, we only answer one or two questions every column, so it’s not an enormous amount, but it’s consistent and it’s regular, and more than that, I think it normalizes sex too.

“I teach human sexuality here at IU, and I find that most of my students have never had much sex education in school.” Debby Herbenick Director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion

It’s a completely normal topic that you could find in your newspaper, no different than reading about sports or reading about current events, and it signals to students that there are resources for them here on campus, whether it’s

the health center, or the School of Public Health, human sexuality classes or a range of other sex classes throughout the departments on campus where they can learn about sexuality. IDS Could you talk a little bit about the Bloomington Sex Salon? Herbenick They’ll start back up in December. I love the Bloomington Sex Salon. So yeah, I started this a few years ago, after realizing what amazing conversations I had with my friends who were fellow researchers and educators, and just because I know a lot about sex and I study what I study, doesn’t mean that I know everything about sex.

“What I think every student and every person who cares about these issues should ask themselves is: are we getting a balance about healthy sexuality?” Debby Herbenick Director of the Center for Sexual Health Promotion

So I have friends and colleagues who study things that I don’t know, and when I get together with them over lunch or coffee, I ask them about their work and they tell me things that I learn about and that are interesting. And so it occurred to me that, wouldn’t it be cool if we basically did this in a public setting, and other people could benefit from that. So, the style of the Bloomington Sex Salon is that it’s held in public, off-campus spaces, usually a bar, and almost always the Bishop. We’ve tried a few other ones, but the Bishop works the best for us. And so, it’s 18 plus, and you don’t have to drink, but there are drinks available for people who want to buy beer, wine or alcohol, or water. And they can hang out, and watch two people talk about sex. And so the first 30-40 minutes is just me asking questions of whoever the guest is that month, and then the next 20-30 minutes is audience Q&A. It’s very casual — we invite people who are comfortable talking about sex in real ways, not sort of ivory tower academic theory ways, not that that’s not interesting, but that’s not what this is. This is about bridging conversations with the community. We’ve had great, great people. We’ve had a lot of IU faculty, we’ve had professors from other schools, like Emory University, come in. We’ve had Dr. Ruth, who is a very famous sex educator, who is in her 80s now. We’ve had Annie Sprinkle, who is a performance artist and former porn actress and former sex worker. We’ve had the filmmakers from "Hot Girls Wanted" and New York Times best-selling authors, and just a really interesting range of people. Photographers, sex educators, so it’s fun and it’s free, and they start back up in December.

W | KINSEY CONFIDENTIAL

Kinsey Confidential talks multiple orgasms Why did I suddenly become multi-orgasmic during intercourse? I became that way two years ago. I enjoy it, but why all of a sudden? Multiple orgasms are generally considered to be more than one orgasm occurring in a row, happening with continued stimulation — and there’s been fairly little research on them. A recent United States probability survey found that just less than half of adult

women report having experienced multiple orgasms, which is consistent with some earlier research. That said, we don’t know what proportion of women could experience multiple orgasms given certain circumstances. Some of these circumstances include, for example, if women maintain stimulation (during masturbation, intercourse or other kinds of sex play) and try to have a second or third orgasm, or if they use a vibrator. Vibrators are associated

with quicker and more reliable orgasms across sexes. We do know that not all who have multiple orgasms have had them since they first became sexually active. Anecdotally, many women have a similar experience as you do — they were sexually active for a while before having multiple orgasms for the first time. We also know that not everyone who is capable of having multiple orgasms has them with any regularity. For some people, it's not

a frequent experience. Others don’t try to have multiple orgasms, and for some who want to keep trying, their partner might not continue stimulating them past the first orgasm. As to why yours just started happening, I cannot say. Some women find that orgasms — whether single or multiple — come more easily during sex that is particularly exciting or emotionally intimate. We do know, from the National Survey of Sexual

Health and Behavior, that increasing proportions of women report having orgasms in their 30s, 40s and 50s. So there is some sense, building on previous research, that orgasms may become easier with time, experience and a familiar partner. Orgasm tends to become a bit more difficult in older age, however, often due to vaginal dryness, a person’s own health issues or their partner’s health issues. I’m sorry we can’t explain the orgasm change more spe-

cifically for you, but we are glad, of course, that you’re enjoying this new development in your sexual exploration. Kinsey Confidential is part of a joint partnership between the IU School of Public HealthBloomington (IU SPH) and The Kinsey Institute.
