IU's Black leaders pushing for change

By Claudia Gonzalez-Diaz clabgonz@iu.edu | @clabgonz

Salina Tesfagiorgis would look around her classroom at the Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies and feel lonesome. Just a handful of students were Black like her, and course material as an international studies major often excluded texts written

by Black internationalists.

Ky Freeman watched as his inbox flooded with emails from institutional leaders about Juneteenth and Black Lives Matter who meanwhile hesitated to rename buildings, streets and rivers named after a eugenicist.

Tiana Williams was asked to act “a bit more ghetto” as a Black character in the show “Legally Blonde," produced by the Booth Tarkington Civic Theatre in Carmel in 2016,

and directors have cast her as a token or accent character in plenty of shows written for, and directed by, white people.

All of these IU students have experienced racism throughout their lives and are now finding ways to fundamentally change the industries and fields of study they are entering into.

Tesfagiorgis, a rising senior beginning her master’s degree through the integrated B.A./M.A. program at the Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies, is one of the organizers of Enough is Enough, a local Black activist group.

“I feel like the whole movement that we’ve been a part of started as emotion, very valid emotion,” she said. “It came from us being Black and being hurt.”

She is in direct contact with the

dean of the Hamilton Lugar School through the Global Student Seven advisory board, where she is working toward creating a course about Black perspectives on international theory. Course material would be based on text from Black internationalists and authors and would be taught by a Black professor.

Despite being a very diverse and inclusive school, the classes teach mostly Western ideologies, Tesfagiorgis said. There are also few Black faculty and students within the school. Whenever she has an opportunity in class, Tesfagiorgis focuses her projects on Black groups in different countries that were not talked about in class, such as Afro-Latinx groups in Latin America or the Flint, Michigan, water crisis.

“Blackness can be seen in a global perspective, and it’s not,”

Tesfagiorgis said. “But it should, and it can.”

Freeman, a rising junior in secondary English education and president of the Black Student Union, said activism has always been a part of his life. He is critical of institutional announcements and changes, such as timely emails recognizing Juneteenth or the creation of new diversity and equity roles in management. He says these are merely micro-reforms, and in order to create substantive and meaningful change, students must mobilize.

“I don’t accept micro-reforms on a silver platter and call it activism nor substantive change,” Freeman said. “You’re going to have to show me something that shifts the power and the authority that Black people have not been awarded all

Protests continue despite threats, end peacefully Woman

arrested for hitand-run

By Claudia Gonzalez-Diaz clabgonz@iu.edu | @clabgonz

Protests continued Friday to demand justice for Vauhxx Booker, a Monroe County human rights commissioner who was assaulted by men with confederate flags a week ago at Lake Monroe. Protesters gathered at 6 p.m. at Peoples Park, following a press conference with Katharine Liell, Booker’s attorney.

Liell said she and Booker want the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Indiana to convene a grand jury to examine Booker’s assault. This will allow citizens to indict and take part in the legal process, she said.

Booker said the weekend attack has been prolonged by the legal system, which is why he and Liell are calling for a grand jury.

“Justice can be delayed, but it can’t be denied,” Booker said.

The protesters mostly filled the park and left around 8 p.m. when the protest ended peacefully.

Enough is Enough, a local Black activist group, Black Lives Matter Bloomington and city and state officials attended, including Indiana State Senate candidate Shelli Yoder and Bloomington city clerk Nicole Bolden. The Bloomington chapter of the Young Democratic Socialists of America said on Facebook that the protest was put together by a coalition of many organizations, who intentionally

Big Ten announces conferenceonly schedule for fall sports

By D.J. Fezler djfezler@iu.edu | @DJFezler

The Big Ten announced Thursday that all fall sports will transition to a conference-only schedule if the 2020-21 season is able to be played.

By limiting competition to only Big Ten schools, the conference will have the flexibility to make decisions based on evolving medical advice amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“Throughout this process the health and safety of our students, coaches, staff and fans has been our number one priority, and I want to thank Commissioner Warren for his leadership as we navigate these unprecedented and challenging times,” IU athletic director Scott Dolson said in a release.

The sports mentioned include men’s and women’s cross-country, field hockey, football, men’s and women’s soccer and women’s volleyball. Scheduling details for those sports will be released at a later

Bloomington police arrested Christi J. Bennett, 66, at 8 p.m.

Wednesday in Scottsburg, Indiana, for offenses Christi related to hitting Bennett protesters Monday according to a police press release.

Bennett was charged with two counts of criminal recklessness and two counts of leaving the scene of an accident, one resulting in bodily injury and one resulting in serious bodily injury.

She is now out of jail on a $500 bond, which is a standard bond amount set for the felony levels of her charges, Sgt. Dana Cole said.

The police found Bennett at Mariann Travel Inn Motel about 68 miles from Bloomington.

Bloomington Police Department Capt. Ryan Pedigo would not release information on how police found Bennett but credited investigators for their work in finding her.

“The investigators that were working on this case, they worked pretty tirelessly to locate this vehicle and this woman and man involved,” Pedigo said.

According to the press release, investigators determined Wednesday that the registered owner of the vehicle that hit protesters was staying at a motel in Scottsburg, Indiana, and located SEE ARREST, PAGE 3

“We are facing uncertain and unprecedented times,” the Big Ten’s statement read. “And the health, safety and wellness of our student athletes, coaches, game officials and others associated with our sports programs and campuses remain our number one priority.”

Before the announcement, IU

football was scheduled to play three nonconference opponents this upcoming season: Western Kentucky University, Ball State University and the University of Connecticut. The team will now move to a nine-game schedule.

The conference also announced that summer athletic activities will continue to be voluntary, including football.

Ways to support Bloomington’s Black community

By Wei Wang daviwang@iu.edu | @DavidWazman

Bloomington organizations have ramped up efforts to promote racial equity and support Black people in the local community since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police.

Since the killing of George Floyd, racial justice organizations and funds have received millions of donations nationwide. Kim WilliamsPulfer, postdoctoral research appointee at the IU Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis, said part of the outpouring of donations is because the killing has compelled people to reflect on their own positions in society.

“Many people today are recognizing the importance of racial equity as a way to understand the challenges that certain communities face and that it would be a part of the solutions for those issues,” she said.

Williams-Pulfer also said because each community faces different issues in tackling COVID-19 and addressing racial equity, community philanthropy is playing a particularly significant role.

People are relying on community mutual aid to address immediate needs more than before.

Here are three local organizations that have served and continue to serve Bloomington’s Black community.

Banneker Community Center The Banneker Community Center was founded by the city government of Bloomington in 1954 and has since supported the underserved residents in Bloomington through providing educational and recreational programs and creating community events for youths and adults.

From 1915 to 1954, the building that now houses the community center was a segregated school for Black children named Banneker School. Since its founding, one of the center’s core missions has been to honor the Black community, said Erik Pearson, program and facility coordinator at the City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation Department.

“There are lots of multigenerational kids whose par-

ents came to Banneker,” he said. “I think it’s this decadesold relationship that we work to preserve every day.”

He said that 50 to 60% of the participants and about the same percentage of the Banneker staff are Black or multiracial.

One of the ways Pearson said that Banneker supports the Black community is through its free meal programs for youth. Pearson said among all the youth programs offered at Banneker, 80 to 85% of all the participants qualify for free or reduced lunch at school. One such program is the Teen Leadership Institute, which Pearson said serves each participant one free meal per day and offers academic tutoring. The program also has leadership and personal development exercises and discussion activities about cultural topics such as race. He said 70 to 80% of the 45 registered participants in the spring 2020 semester were Black.

Another such program is the Banneker Camp, an almost two-decade-old summer day camp with free food services and youth activities.

This year due to the pandemic, camp activities have been suspended, but free meals

continue to be delivered to low-income families through the Banneker Camp On-TheGo program. Through this program, Banneker staff delivers free nutritious meals and activity packets and supplies directly to the homes of nearly 100 participants each week, according to Banneker’s website.

“I think we create a family environment where Black families and youth and adults feel safe, supported and welcomed in our space with our staff,” Pearson said.

“We want our facility and our programs to be a source of pride for the minority community of Bloomington.”

Pearson said community donations to the Banneker Community Center mainly go toward four areas: enhancing program experiences such as field trips, purchasing materials and equipment for the programs, maintaining amenities and renovating and constructing.

He said local groups such as Enough is Enough have contributed supplies and monetary donations for Banneker, and these contributions will go directly toward program improvement.

To donate to the Banneker Community Center, call

812-349-3735, email pearsone@bloomington.in.gov or visit the center’s website.

Bloomington Housing Authority The Bloomington Housing Authority operates 312 public housing units for low-income households at a rent of no more than 30% of each resident’s adjusted household income. It also offers 1,300 housing choice vouchers for families to afford housing on the private market.

Amber Skoby, executive director of the BHA, said 15% of participants in the affordable housing programs and 20% of those on housing vouchers are Black, both large percentages considering only 4.3% of the Bloomington population is Black or African American, according to the United States Census Bureau.

Skoby added that the BHA has reduced rent for households that have received reduced income due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“By stabilizing housing costs, families can concentrate on other things like going back to school, focusing on their health, being able to age in place – all of those

key factors for good quality of life for a low-income family,” Skoby said.

Although the BHA is mostly funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and does not accept public donations, Skoby said people can use their voices to advocate to lawmakers for additional funding for housing programs through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act and in Congress’s fiscal budget for 2021.

Community and Family Resources Department The City of Bloomington Community and Family Resources Department oversees the Commission on the Status of Black Males and the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Celebration Commission, among many other city commissions and engagement programs. It is also one of the sponsors of Black History Month in Bloomington.

The Commission on the Status of Black Males addresses problems faced by Black males in education, health, criminal justice and employment, according to its website. One of its initiatives, the Black Barbershop Health Initiative, provides

free health screenings and consultations for mental health issues and illnesses at Hoosier Barber and Razor Image Premiere Barbershop & Beauty Salon.

Beverly Calender-Anderson, director of the Community and Family Resources Department, said a lot of people have discovered they have prediabetic conditions through the health screenings and then could then pursue medical treatment.

On Juneteenth, a video was posted on the commission’s Facebook page in which men from Bloomington’s Black community read the names of Black people killed by police.

Calender-Anderson said the department does not take donations for specific programs. She encourages community members to attend the commission’s public Zoom meetings, whose links are available on the front page of the City of Bloomington website. She said people can also share their concerns about racial inequity by attending city council meetings, writing to the City of Bloomington Human Rights Commission or applying to be on the city commission.

International students faced with a ‘terrible decision’

By Claudia Gonzalez-Diaz clabgonz@iu.edu | @clabgonz

International students are prohibited from taking a fully online course load this fall semester, as announced Monday by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

If they attend an online-only university, international students must leave the U.S., transfer to a different school or face deportation as a consequence, according to the release.

This is not a new regulation, according to a Department of Homeland Security website. Before the pandemic, students with nonimmigrant F-1 visas could only take one distance learning class to count toward full course study and M-1 visas were not allowed to take any. But when universities unexpectedly closed in the spring due to the coronavirus, ICE issued temporary exemptions to the online study policy. It was then modified again to prevent international students from taking a full online course load in

the fall, despite growing numbers of COVID-19 cases.

The modification states that students whose schools will operate under a hybrid model, such as IU, must take at least one in-person class in order to stay. But if the university decides to switch its model to online-only at any point in the semester, students will be required to leave the U.S., according to a press release.

IU international students will not need to leave the U.S. during the winter session, which is from Nov. 30 to Feb. 7, according to the Office of International Services website.

IU spokesperson Chuck Carney said the Office of International Services will work with international students to make sure they are in compliance with the modified rule.

“Our international students should be assured that we’re going to be working with them to make sure that they are able to continue their studies,” Carney said. “That’s what we’re here for.”

An international doctoral student from Colombia said the modification to the temporary exemption forces international students to decide between finishing their degrees in person or leaving the country or being deported, all of which put them at risk of infection. Forcing students to take an in-person class puts them at a higher risk of infection than students who aren't forced to take an in-person class.

“They are forcing us to decide if we want to stay and complete our degrees, which is very important for our lives, or if we want to go back to our countries and be deported, basically,” the international student said. “That’s a terrible, terrible decision to make.”

The student, who decided to stay anonymous to avoid potential retaliation, found out about the modification Monday, when international colleagues started to share information about and petitions against it. One petition, created Monday, more than

doubled its goal of 100,000 signatures by Wednesday.

“They are forcing us to decide if we want to stay and complete our degrees, which is very important for our lives, or if we want to go back to our countries and be deported, basically.”

International doctoral student

The modification also states that students currently living abroad will not be issued visas nor be permitted to enter the U.S.. if they are enrolled in fully online schools or programs. Students enrolled in such schools that are already in the U.S. must transfer schools or programs, leave the country or face deportation.

Universities and programs must certify that the university is not all online and that

each student is not taking an entirely online course load by reporting to the Student and Exchange Visitor Program, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security.

One international doctoral student from mainland China is particularly worried about undergraduate international students. The guidelines didn’t clearly specify what in-person meant, and doctoral students have research credits that don’t require classroom meetings but can be used as in-person credits, the student said. But undergraduate students have less flexibility with their credits.

“If you have to register an in-person class to lawfully stay in the United States, that is basically targeting the undergrads,” the Chinese international student said. "That is totally dependent on if the university will provide in-person class."

This student, who also decided to remain anonymous to avoid potential retaliation, said this rule is especially un-

IU delivers statement on Booker’s attack

By Joy Burton joyburt@iu.edu | @joybur10

Indiana University released a statement July 6 on Twitter following the Fourth of July attack of Vauhxx Booker near Lake Monroe.

“Even as we have been collectively and actively discussing the persistence of racism, a local incident reminds all of us in the IU Bloomington community that awareness is not enough,” James Wimbush, IU vice president for diversity,

equity and multicultural affairs, said in the statement.

Wimbush said IU stands against racism and commits to combating it persistently in the future.

“We must work to fight against these ideas until all in our community feel safe,” Wimbush said.

The IU statement came prior to events Monday resulting in two protesters being struck by a car in downtown Bloomington. The car carried the victims two blocks before

throwing them off.

One of the victims in the incident, IU Studios photographer Chaz Mottinger, was taken to the hospital and suffered a concussion.

The FBI opened a case Tuesday to investigate Booker’s attack. According to a Facebook post written by Booker, he was jumped by a group of men who allegedly yelled racial slurs and pinned him to a tree. One of them yelled “get a noose,” Booker said. Booker sustained a mi-

nor concussion from the encounter, according to the post.

The Facebook post included videos of the encounter and gained the attention of national news outlets such as the Washington Post and NBC News. Conversation at a national level continued to escalate after the car crashed into protesters Monday.

Protesters flooded the streets in solidarity for the victims of recent incidents again Tuesday in downtown Bloomington.

safe because it forces universities to stay open amid the pandemic for its international students to be able to attend.

It could also force doctoral students to teach in-person classes.

"We didn't expect this to come so soon and so bold," the student said. "They don't even bother to pretend like we actually exist."

There were more than 5,000 international students at the IU-Bloomington campus a year ago, according to a report on an IU website.

Domestic students are allowed to take a fully online course load without consequences. Evie Munier, an international doctoral student in the Department of French and Italian, said this modification made amid the pandemic is clearly discriminatory toward non-American students.

“It’s grounded in racism and xenophobia,” Munier said. “And it’s very scary for people who don’t have any say in the matter. We’re pretty much powerless.”

Militias have been threatening to harm protesters in online posts since protests began earlier this summer over the killing of George Floyd, as reported by the Washington Post.

The threats are especially fierce in small, rural towns such as Omak, Washington, where a protest in early June drew 400 protesters at a local park and also an armed militia, watching at ground level and from nearby rooftops in early June. While some armed residents have threatened to attack, some say their goal is to protect protesters The protest organizers did not invite anyone to bring guns and did not invite the police at all in a stand against all forms of policing and systemic racism in a Facebook post.

They were also aware of online threats and said they believed it to be an intimidation tactic.

Amrita Chakrabarti Myers, IU associate professor of history and gender studies, said the U.S. has a legal system and has never had a justice system.

Other speakers included Yoder, Bolden and Enough is Enough organizers Selena Drake and Patrick Ford.

Some read statements they

had written before the protest, and one speaker read a poem.

Despite threats circulating social media, the protest

already living in Bloomington should be tested within 10 days of classes starting.

If students are coming from out of the country, they must self-quarantine for 14 days after they arrive in the U.S. In the email, the university recommends students coming from out of the country take the test four days into their selfquarantine or after their quarantine is over. If they receive negative results, they may stop self-quarantining even if 14 days have not passed.

Those who have positive results should not come to campus and should isolate themselves for 10 days, according to the FAQ. They should then retest when their symptoms have improved.

Staff and faculty do not

have to get tested. According to the FAQ, students are being required to be tested because they are more likely to be in close-living quarters and group gatherings than staff and faculty. Students will also come from across the country and world, which makes testing the only way to contain the possible spread of the virus.

All of these rules also apply to the IU-Purdue University Indianapolis, IU-South Bend and IUSoutheast campuses. At all other campuses, testing will be encouraged but not required at this time.

Police interviewed the man and released him. Officers took Bennett into custody and transported her to BPD to be interviewed by detectives.

Bennett and her legal

Police took the car involved in the attack to collect evidence.

Bennett hit two people Monday night around 9:30 p.m. when she accelerated through protesters blocking her car.

She fled the scene and was not located by police until Wednesday night.

Pedigo said it was especially difficult for investigators to locate Bennett

because she was staying at a motel. The address on the vehicle registration was also no longer valid.

“We thank our police detectives for their tireless work over the last three days to identify and apprehend the driver,” Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton said in a press release Thursday.

According to Bennett's criminal record, she has been convicted of stalking with a deadly weapon in Monroe and Morgan counties three times since 2004.

The industry also needs to write and put on more shows that normalize the global existence of Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian and other identities of people, she said.

Over time, after seeing the lack of inclusion of Black actors on stage and in production teams, Williams has

learned to confront directors about their racist comments or ignorance over email and face-to-face.

“I’m very used to it now,” Williams said about being vocal about racism. “Of course you have to pick your battles, but I’m no longer hesitant to speak out on that type of stuff.

Abell, Creek fulfill Final Four hopes in TBT

By Tyler Tachman ttachman@iu.edu | @Tyler_T15

Two former IU basketball players are making a long-awaited run in a national tournament.

Remy Abell, who played for IU from 2011-13, and Maurice Creek, who was with the program from 2009-13, advanced to the semifinals of The Basketball Tournament on Saturday afternoon with a 65-48 win over team Boeheim’s Army.

Abell and Creek’s squad, team Sideline Cancer, won the first three games in the 24-team draw as the No. 22 seed. Their journey to a Final Four has been seven years in the making, although it may not be the tournament that they always imagined.

The only year that Abell and Creek overlapped on the court at IU was 2012-13, when the Hoosiers were ranked in the Associated Press top 10 the entirety of the season and were third in the nation in total points scored.

Both played sparingly, combining for less than 20 minutes and six points per contest. Abell, who was a sophomore, contributed in a limited role the prior season, and Creek, who was a junior, battled injuries every year at IU. After the 2012-13 season, both would leave the program.

That year’s Hoosiers roster was stacked with the likes of future NBA regulars Cody Zeller, Victor Oladipo and Yogi Ferrell. IU finished first in the Big Ten with a 14-4 mark and 29-7 overall record. Meanwhile, Abell and Creek mostly watched from the bench.

The Hoosiers were ultimately bounced out of the NCAA tournament by Syracuse University in the Sweet 16, ending their national title aspirations. Creek and Abell were on the hardwood for a total of 12 minutes that game, adding only two points.

Seven years later, there’s some March Madness magic cooking in mid-July for Abell and Creek.

In their first game last Sunday, Abell netted 17 points, and Creek put in 13 of his own. They combined for a plus/minus of 29, the highest of any two players on Sideline Cancer.

In the second round Tuesday against the No. 6 seed Team Challenge ALS, the duo replicated their performance with Abell scoring 17, and Creek dropping 13. They knocked in three 3-pointers each, and Abell’s final trey sealed a 76-66 victory.

Saturday brought another top-seeded challenge in No. 3 Boeheim’s Army, which is made up of Syracuse University alums.

As it turns out, Brandon Triche, who was one of the Orange’s top scorers from the 2012-13 team that took down the Hoosiers in the NCAA tournament, was on the roster for Boeheim’s Army. In that game, Triche tallied 14 points and snatched three rebounds.

Saturday was a different narrative. Abell racked up 12 points, while Creek led all scorers with 22 points, including three makes from long distance. On the other hand, Triche was held scoreless and committed double the number of fouls as assists.

Bottom Then-senior gaurd Maurice Creek high-fives his teammates after coming off the court in his first game back after an injury in a game against Indiana Wesleyan at Assembly Hall. The Hoosiers won 86-57.

“I’m always going to be shooting it all the time,” Creek said.

In contrast to the 2012-13 tournament where the Hoosiers were a No. 1 seed, Creek and Abell have embraced an underdog role in TBT. “Everybody on this team be-

lieves,” Creek said after Saturday’s game. “Everyone picked against us against Team Hines and against ALS.” Boeheim’s Army was picked apart by Abell and Creek, the most unlikely figures to present a threat

from the Hoosiers’ 2012-13 team.

But if there’s a suitable time for improbable scenes, the duo has proved it’s in a fanless gym for a prize of $1 million during the second upswing of a pandemic.

Sideline Cancer is slated to take

on four-time champions and No. 2 seed Overseas Elite at 6 p.m. Sunday. Sideline Cancer will, again, be the underdog in the matchup.

Whether or not their run continues, Abell and Creek finally made it to a Final Four, once and for all.

Former IU pitcher Baragar earns Giants roster spot

By Tyler Tachman ttachman@iu.edu | @Tyler_T15

Former IU baseball left-handed pitcher Caleb Baragar solidified a spot on the San Francisco Giants’ 60man roster for the 2020 season, the organization announced Wednesday. It will open the opportunity for Baragar’s first appearance in the majors.

Baragar became the sixth former Hoosier to make a big league roster so far this year. Kyle Schwarber and Josh Phegley of the Chicago Cubs are among the group to earn a bid.

Baragar spent his first two collegiate years playing at Jackson Community College in Jackson, Michigan. As a freshman, he whiffed 50 batters, racking up six wins and earning second team All-West Michigan Baseball League recognition.

One year later, after striking out 66 more and posting a 2.62 earned run average, Baragar was named first team All-Conference and All-Region.

In April of that season, he tossed two no-hitters in a row, totaling 15 strikeouts during the span.

Baragar then transferred to IU for the 2015 season. He made 15 appearances, 12 of which were starts, in his lone season for the cream and crimson. Baragar was on the bump for 57 innings, the fourth most on the team, and was one of five pitchers with 50 strikeouts.

Following his 2015 campaign, Baragar was selected in the ninth round of the 2016 draft by the Giants.

Then-senior pitcher Caleb Baragar pitches on the mound April 9, 2016, against Purdue at Bart Kaufman Field. Baragar has been named to the San Francisco Giants’ 60-man roster, becoming the sixth former Hoosier to be named to a major league roster for the 2020 season.

Baragar has bounced around five minor league squads, while nearing 400 innings of work on the mound.

In 2019, he started the season in single-A with the San Jose Giants before working his way to the organization’s

double-A affiliate, the Richmond Flying Squirrels.

Baragar’s last stop of 2019 was in Triple-A with the Sacramento River Cats, where he was named an AllStar midway through the year. Then,

he collected MVP in the Triple-A championship series after recording a 0.90 ERA over 10 innings.

In his minor league career, Baragar holds a 3.82 ERA with 354 strikeouts and a 18-20 overall record.

After four seasons, Baragar will finally join the ranks in the Major Leagues this year.

The Giants are set to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers on opening day July 23.

IU’s Goodin touted as No. 4 pitcher in nation

By Evan Gerike egerike@iu.edu | @EvanGerike

At the beginning of the IU softball season, head coach Shonda Stanton listed two goals for senior Emily Goodin.

On the field, Stanton wanted one strikeout per inning.

Goodin struck out 1.03 batters per inning. Check.

Stanton also wanted Goodin to be in command mentally.

Goodin accomplished that, too, and as a result was named the No. 4 analytical pitcher in the nation entering next season by d1softball. com. The rankings were broken down into three categories: zone control, pitch ability and durability, to rank the top 100 pitchers in the country.

The recognition came after Goodin appeared in 18 of the Hoosiers’ 21 games last season. Her 111 strikeouts tied for 17th best in the nation, her five shutouts were tied for sixth in the country and she led IU with a 1.76 ERA.

On Feb. 8, Goodin picked up a complete game victory over Clemson University that started a streak of 12 consecutive complete games. Her last game of the streak came in the home opener against Miami University, where she struck out a career-high 14 and guided IU to a 1-0 walk-off win.

She made the record books again during the streak with a five inning no-hitter against Bucknell University on Feb. 21, the second nohitter of her career.

Along with seniors Gabbi Jenkins, Katie Lacefield and Bella Norton, Goodin will take advantage of the NCAA’s coronavirus eligibility waiver to play one more season for IU in what the team has dubbed “victory lap” on Twitter.

With the addition of former Ivy League Player of the Year and Dartmouth University transfer Micah Schroder, the offense has will have more depth. Goodin’s return solidifies a lineup that will make the Hoosiers contenders in the Big Ten.

IU signee Drew Salyers competes in PGA Tour qualifier

By Tyler Tachman ttachman@iu.edu | @Tyler_T15

IU golf signee Drew Salyers finished tied for fifth in the PGA Workday Charity Open qualifier Monday, shooting a 65 in the one-day competition.

The top two golfers from the day earned a spot in the Workday Charity Open later this week at the Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. Salyers failed to qualify after ending the round two strokes out of second place.

Had he advanced past the qualifier, Salyers would’ve had the chance to compete with former Masters winners Bubba Watson and Jordan Spieth among others in the PGA Tour event this weekend.

Salyers, who is a member of IU’s 2020 recruiting class,

holds all scoring and win records on the links at East Knox High School in Howard, Ohio.

He was a two-time Central District Player of the Year and two-time All-State honoree.

During a stretch in 2018-19, Salyers put together a winning streak of 49 matches. In his senior year, he was runner-up in the state championships.

Salyers was tabbed as high as No. 27 in the American Junior Golf Association Rolex rankings, while being named Golfweek’s Junior Tour Player of the year twice.

In 2019, Salyers captured an American Junior Golf Association Justin Thomas Junior championship.

When he arrives in Bloomington, Salyers will have the opportunity to play on IU’s new Pfau golf course.

Wellness Top Five Hammocking Spots With no more assignments or school stress, students can finally take time to relax. What better way to kick back than hanging up your hammock and napping the day away? IU’s campus offers plenty of shady spots to hammock and we compiled our top five.

Share your story to orry or y The IDS is collecting stories from our readers about life during the coronavirus pandemic.

1. Bridge Quad The shady area behind Woodburn Hall and near Ballentine Hall is the perfect place to hammock the day away. The many trees create a nice canopy of protection from the hot sun and the trickling sound of the Jordan River is sure to put you right to sleep.

2. Near Dunn Meadow While Dunn Meadow itself is not the best for hammocking, the bridges and trees near it are perfect.

This area next to the union and behind Franklin Hall offers countless trees to choose from when pitching your hammock. With Dunn Meadow always being busy, there is plenty of people-watching, which can enhance your hammocking experience.

3. The Old Crescent Located in the woods behind Sample Gates, this part of campus is home to multiple shady trees and has plenty of activity to keep your hammocking interesting. Watch the squirrels scurry around, or see students take hundreds of pictures at the Sample Gates.

4. The Arboretum The Arboretum may look like a huge, open area, but its perimeters contain many great hammock spots. Pitch your hammock near the bridges and small stream, or by the new Metz Bicentennial Grand Carillon. No matter where you hammock, you can relax and take in the beauty of this space.

5. Behind Forest Quadrangle If you live on the southeast side of campus, this hammocking spot is only minutes away. This area behind Forest offers an abundance of good hammocking trees. Plus, if you get hungry while hammocking and still have I-BUCKS, The Woodland Eatery offers plenty of food that will bring back memories of your freshman days.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

League of Women Voters reflects on its history, seeks an antiracist future This year’s centennials of the 19th Amendment and the League of Women Voters have been eye-opening for our members and supporters.

Our past is not stellar regarding people of color. As early 20th-century suffrage activ-

ists sought to appease southern states, Black women were relegated to the background.

Despite our mission regarding voting rights and civic engagement, the League was also not a major force during the civil rights movement of

the 1960s. Recent racially motivated incidents in Bloomington make these facts even more difficult to acknowledge.

However, acknowledgement of the past is the only way to change the present

and future. The League is taking a thorough and sometimes painful look at our earlier inaction and what we are doing now. Others can do the same. Set aside the defensive “I am not racist," and listen to what people of color are say-

ing. Learn from resources that spotlight their experiences and reveal systemic racism.

Understand the effects of racial injustice and bias, not only on people of color but on the character of our nation.

The 400-year-old tide of

racial bias may be showing signs of turning. Let’s make sure it does. Black lives matter.

Ann Birch, President of the League of Women Voters of BloomingtonMonroe County

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

IU must do more to stand up for its international students “IU is fucking gutless,” said my friend Huixin, an international Ph.D. student at IU. Or, quoting another friend’s more gentle comment, “We are disappointed at IU’s lack of reaction towards the new ICE guidelines.” She is referring to statements from IU which did not include condemnations of the policy and is expressing that it expects international students to conform to it.

This new policy is the latest one adding to the streak of anti-immigration policies

in the early half of 2020 by the Trump administration. Starting from mid-March, there have been attacks against Asians, entry bans for foreign workers, threats to revoke visas for some Chinese students, suspension of issuing H1-B visas and more.

International students like us have lived constantly under the fear of being unable to finish our studies, being unable to find a job, being attacked by white supremacists and now being deported even

before any of these happens.

International students pay tuition to contribute to IU’s revenue. We run IU’s classes and labs. We graduate to join U.S.’s the U.S. ’s high-tech job force, to build start-ups and contribute to the nation’s economy. This seems to be the default path when I came to IU six years ago, but not anymore.

With so much uncertainty posed by the recent policies, new students will reconsider coming to study in the U.S.,

and new graduates will reconsider staying to work in the U.S. — a place where we can be kicked out at any time.

As a group that is most vulnerable to the anti-immigrant trends during the current situation, we now need IU’s action more than ever.

We call for the university to step up for its students, and stand with them during this crisis.

Elise Jing, IU graduate student in Informatics

Virtual art gallery to showcase protest art

By Lizzie Kaboski lkaboski@iu.edu

The Banneker Community Center will hold a virtual art gallery featuring work from the recent Enough is Enough protests and events.

The center is asking for posters, flags, masks, written speeches or other artwork that will be photographed and displayed in the virtual gallery. The gallery will be

available later this month on the community center website and the group’s Facebook page.

Enough is Enough, a local activist group formed in May after the death of George Floyd, has recently put on protests in Bloomington to protest racial inequities and celebrate Black lives.

Beyond the physical demonstrations, the group wanted to raise funds to con-

tribute to the community and chose the community center because of its contributions to Black and brown residents. Funds were collected from individual attendees that participated in the events. The organization has received over $8,000 in donations so far, according to its Facebook page.

Erik Pearson, program facility coordinator, said the community center has his-

IDS Resource Guide Support Black Owned Businesses

torically provided support for Black and Brown families in the community. The center was established as a school for Black students in 1915 and rebuilt into a community center in 1954. “We are a direct response to the wants and needs of underserved residents in Bloomington,� Pearson said.

The community center is partnering with the IU Center for Research on Race and

Ethnicity in Society for the digital gallery. Any materials they receive will be available to the community center to display and vice versa. “We wanted to provide a visual archive of the protests to amplify those voices,�

Pearson said. “We’re recognizing the significance of this moment in time in Bloomington’s history, specifically in the BIPOC community.�

The gallery will be available on Facebook and the community center website later this month.

Artwork can be dropped off this week and next week at the community center from the hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, or photos can be shared online. Upon arrival, call 812-349-3735, and a staff member will come out to pick up the artwork.

TAKE IT LIKE A FAN

Cam Newton’s career portrayed through different movie genres Bradley Hohulin is a rising sophomore in marketing.

Each day it gets harder to hate the New England Patriots. How else can I feel when they sign former Carolina Panthers quarterback and league MVP Cam Newton while sorry franchises like the Jaguars and Bears had the audacity to pass on a human capable of accurately throwing the ball farther than six yards?

I have begun wondering whether the Patriots are an organization of masterminds or if their opponents are simply inept. Who’s to say head coach Bill Belichick even meant to acquire Newton?

Given Belichick’s messy past of secretly videotaping other teams, maybe the decision to hire Newton stemmed from a misunderstanding when Belichick told his staff he needed a new “cam” to work with. Regardless of how Newton’s tenure in Boston pans out, the product is sure to thrill audiences like any good blockbuster. Therefore, I have

summarized the superstar’s career through cinema’s most beloved genres.

The heavily dramatized, half-true sports story In this saccharine slice of revisionist history, Newton is injured when he heroically dives for a fumble in Super Bowl L. We see a downtrodden doctor inform the quarterback that he’d be lucky to walk again, let alone throw a tight spiral.

Amazingly, Newton overcomes adversity with nothing but grit, determination and a multi-million dollar personal medical crew.

Finally, the film must take an out-of-context, weirdly motivational quote from the athlete to serve as its title. Like the indefatigable Newton reminds us, “The Titanic Still Has To Go.” The fantasy epic The legendary Tom Brady once brought treasured rings to New England. Alas, the realm’s greatest champion is no longer, leaving the kingdom to be ravaged by the Jets,

pierce through “The Silence of the Cams.”

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Former Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton stiff arms Cleveland Browns linebacker Jamie Collins Sr.

Dolphins and Bills, all unsavory beasts of a bitter underworld.

Who else could save this forsaken land except Newton, whose jersey number literally indicates he is the chosen one?

Joined by a loyal fellowship of charming but ultimately forgettable wide receivers, Newton must turn back the tides of war in “The Golden Cam Pass.”

The horror movie You thought his career

was dead and buried. But like a creature of the night rising from the murky Carolina swamp, Newton is back—and he’s angry.

Shield your eyes from gruesome imagery as Newton’s lower leg is put back together as if it were Frankenstein’s monster in a backalley surgery. The NFL season spans multiple months, but October will be 31 Halloween nights for the rest of the AFC East.

The romantic comedy How do you move on from the perfect man? This is the question Belichick faces after kissing Brady goodbye. However, a certain wildcard from the South who was recently dumped by his hometown sweetheart Carolina Panthers might be the answer.

Newton may have gone head-over-heels for Belichick, but the couple will have to get on the same page of the playbook to escape the friend zone and find the end zone.

Huddling up is just a few yards from cuddling up in “Mixed Signals.”

The musical Newton is Carolina’s hottest upcoming artist with aspirations of making it in the big city. Belichick is the renowned talent manager Newton will have to wow for that dream to become a reality.

Belichick may have coached a prodigy like Brady to greatness in his glory days,

but has his star faded? How can Newton’s improvisational, jazzy smoothness and Belichick’s classical discipline ever strike a harmony?

Watch the two dance their way onto football’s grandest stage in “New Eng La La Land.”

The stoner flick Nearly a decade of contractual obligations and shoulder pain have made Newton tired of dreary adulthood. If only he could return to a simpler time when he was lighting up scoreboards and smoking defenses with blazing speed despite constantly getting blitzed.

This laugh-filled joint takes a look at Newton’s college years, from running into trouble at the University of Florida to packing a bowl game with stellar performances for Auburn University.

Even amid life’s lowest lows, Newton will always remember the “Heisman Highs, Man.” bjhohulin@gmail.com
