Indiana joins nationwide protest IDS Protesters gather at courthouse, county jail

By Katharine Khamhaengwong kkhamhae@iu.edu | @katharinegk

Oliver said. “That they could still get killed or beat up or harassed by police. It’s getting difficult.”

DiQuan Craig, 26, works with students at the Indianapolis Job Corps Center and attended the march in response to recent police brutality events.

“We just want to be loved, man, and shown the respect everybody else is getting, that’s all it is,” he said.

Nick, a white recent IU graduate, locked arms with other white protesters at the intersection of Delaware Street and Massachusetts Avenue.

“I don’t want anyone to get hurt,” he said. “I’m a white body, they’re not going to hit a white body.”

Aaron Nell, who does nonviolence training in prisons, ran along the crowd, writing phrases like “Hero’s don’t Kill” in pink chalk on sidewalks and concrete walls.

“The killing of people of color and the racist attitudes that are being shared from the high levels all the way down to the average person are leading to people dying,” he said. “And I want to be in solidarity with those who say it has to stop.”

Cheryl John, 41, heard about the protest on TV and decided to attend for “justice and peace.” It was her first protest and she said she only was going to support it if it stayed peaceful.

It didn’t.

Tensions began to rise as protesters turned onto East Market Street from North Delaware Street.

Protesters banged on the City County Building with their hands and others began getting into shouting matches with drivers trying to pass through the crowd as well as fellow protesters for detracting from the peaceful protest.

Protesters continued down East

Logan Collins was surprised when around 150 people turned up outside the Monroe County Courthouse at 6 p.m. in response to a Facebook event he made titled “Justice for George Floyd!”

“I just couldn’t sit at home again tonight and watch the live feed,” said Collins, a transplant from Indianapolis and produce supervisor at Bloomingfoods.

The live feed he referred to was from Minneapolis, where protests have continued since George Floyd died May 25 while being restrained by police.

Only 11 people liked the page he created, but one post about the protest was shared over 80 times in the “Bloomington, IN - What’s Going On?” Facebook group.

The Bloomington protest was not organized by any group, and various attendees took turns leading chants such as “Say His Name!

George Floyd,” “No racist cops, no KKK. No fascist USA!,” “Down with the cops, down with the klan! We can’t bring them back, but we do what we can!” and “Say Her Name!

Breonna Taylor,” referring to a black woman killed by police in March in Louisville, Kentucky, on March 13.

The protesters started out on the east side of the square, at the intersection of Walnut Street and Kirkwood Avenue before heading down to the intersection of College Avenue and Kirkwood Avenue, blocking traffic from getting through College Avenue.

People watched from nearby restaurants.

“This is what democracy looks like,” the protesters chanted.

“This is what idiots look like,” one onlooker responded.

“All lives matter,” another observer shouted.

While protesters were blocking traffic, most cars turned, but two tried to make their way through the crowd. A man driving a large black pick-up truck ran over the foot of Willow Armstrong, a recent high school graduate who moved to Bloomington nine months ago from Florida.

Armstrong said she was trying to persuade the driver to take another route home when he decided to force his way through, running over her foot. She said he allegedly looked at his tire on her foot, backed up and then ran over it again before police showed up and he drove away.

Armstrong added that she would go to a doctor after the protest, saying that it was not worth leaving even though her foot was swollen and getting progressively more painful.

“It would have been great to see more people come and speak out,” Armstrong said.

Sheriff and police officers rushed to the scene when cars were attempting to make their way through the crowd but disbanded

Protesters gather May 30 at the Indiana War Memorial. The protest, which was in response to the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin on May 25, began at the memorial before the group began marching through the streets.

Protests in Indianapolis started peacefully, escalated quickly

By Lilly St. Angelo lstangel@iu.edu | @lilly_st_ang

The second day of protests in Indianapolis brought several hours of peaceful protest, but quickly escalated as the sun set, culminating in one person being shot and killed and at least two others others being shot according to the IndyStar.

The crowd at the Indiana War Memorial went up the stairs and spilled across the street into nearby University Park at 7 p.m. Two women stood on the hood of a car and yelled the names of black people who have been killed by police.

“Justice for Trayvon Martin, justice for Michael Brown, justice for Sean Reed.”

A black woman with two young girls in tow pushed through the crowd.

“You gotta keep up, you’re not a baby, you’re a big girl now,” she told the smaller of the two.

Over 1,000 people attended the march Saturday evening to protest the killing of George Floyd on May 25 by a Minneapolis police officer, who’s death sparked protests nationwide. Sean Reed, an Indianapolis man killed by police May 6 and Breonna Taylor, a Kentucky woman killed by police March 13, and others who have been recently killed by police were also on protesters minds. The protest started out peacefully, but escalated sharply around 9 p.m.

Protesters broke windows and police used tear gas to disperse the crowd, but the order of events was unclear to our reporters.

At 7:30 p.m., protesters began marching. They made loops on blocks east of the war memorial for almost two hours, passing boarded up businesses from the previous night’s looting. People leaned out of windows and over balconies, taking photos and videos.

Jill Behrman’s convicted killer to IU Provost sends email be released on house arrest June 15 outlining new rules for fall 2020 semester

By Alex Hardgrave

Two days before the 20th anniversary of IU student Jill Behrman's death, her family found out the man convicted of her murder is set to be released June 15.

John Myers requested April 7 to be released because a medication he takes weakens his immune system and leaves him more susceptible to COVID-19, according to the Friday ruling by U.S. District Court Judge James Sweeney.

"The timing couldn't be worse," Marilyn Behrman, Jill Behrman's mother, said Sunday.

Sweeney ordered in September 2019 that Myers be released, stating Myers received ineffective counsel from attorney Patrick Baker during the 2006 trial.

The order gave a 120- day deadline for his release, which was later extended based on a subsequent order from the Indiana attorney general.

The appeal to the September ruling was heard in the Seventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals on Tuesday in Chicago.

The Friday ruling will release him on house arrest until a decision is made on the appeal, which is set to come from that court in two to six months. The conditions of his release include no contact with the Behrman family, electronic moni-

toring and adherence to CDC social distancing guidelines.

Myers has served 14 years of the 65-year sentence for shooting Behrman, who was out riding her bike. Her remains were found in 2003 in a wooded area in Morgan County, Indiana.

Marilyn Behrman said the order for Myer's release is upsetting

and unbelievable.

Brian Behrman, Jill Behrman’s brother, shared his feelings about the order on Facebook on Friday evening.

“This was definitely not the way I would have hoped to start the weekend of the 20th anniversary of her disappearance,” he wrote.

Monroe County will enter Stage 3 of its COVID-19 reopening plan Saturday but limit gatherings to 50 or fewer people through June 15, according to a Thursday county health order.

An earlier Monroe County Health Department order originally extended Stage 2 of Gov. Eric Holcomb’s Back on Track Indiana plan until Monday, but that direc-

tive is overridden by this new order. Most counties have been in Stage 3 since May 24.

The statewide guidelines for Stage 3 allow gatherings of up to 100 people with social distancing. However, the Monroe County order said that a 50-person limit will help protect residents from the coronavirus.

The order said the county will follow all other parts of Stage 3, which includes changes such as a 75% capacity for retail businesses and the reopening of gyms.

Professors advise budgeting time in public

By Lyndsay Valadez lvaladez@iu.edu | lynds_val

Since being home, Helen Colby said she and her family have made a habit of taking walks, waving to their neighbors as they pass by. Colby, an IU assistant professor of marketing, wants this to last even after restrictions loosen and more people leave their house.

Colby said now is a great time to reconsider habits as most people have been forced out of their normal routine. How different people will re-enter the public sphere may differ. But as restrictions are loosening, there are health, financial and social habits to consider.

“Habits are much easier to change when we’ve been forced away from them for even a few days,” Colby said. “So a few weeks, this is the time to rethink some of those.”

Colby said, for example, if people used to stop by Starbucks on their way to work, but now they are not going into work, now’s a good time to reconsider whether they want to brew their own coffee or start going back to Starbucks.

As far as overall spending goes, Colby recommends being careful about people putting themselves in a position where they might be tempted to buy things they don’t need.

As self control goes down, impulse buying goes up, she said, and scarcity of anything makes people want things more. She said the best way to deal with that is to maybe go walk around or go to the park.

Walking around and getting some sun exposure is also beneficial to people’s health, said Christina Ludema, assistant professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics.

Dog walkers congregate May 28 on the B-Line Trail. IU professors Christina Ludema and Brian Dixon said the safest space to gather with others is outside.

Limiting exposure to multiple stores is not only beneficial to people’s pockets. Ludema said limiting the number of stores you go in is good for your health as well. She suggests looking at a person’s social interaction outside the home in terms of a budget.

She said to set a budget or limit for the amount of exposure to other people and contact you will have. Different activities or interactions may take up more of that budget.

Ludema and Brian Dixon, associate professor of epidemiology at the IUPurdue University Indianapolis Fairbanks School of Public Health, said the saf-

est spaces to gather are outside, with low amounts of physical contact with other people. But for someone it might be really important to get a haircut, although it’s higher risk with close contact and it being indoors, Ludema said.

“But then you can say ‘OK I’ve spent my budget of socially interacting with the outside world, and so for the next couple of weeks I’m going to keep things pretty low key,’” Ludema said.

The budget for high-risk people remains low, and Ludema said they should limit social contact as much as possible. But for people

who are not high risk, the focus is more about preventing community transmission.

Just because regulations and laws by the state may loosen, that doesn’t necessarily mean people should go to that maximum limit, Ludema said. For example, if a group of 25 people is allowed, Ludema said it doesn’t mean now you should meet with 25 people.

Still, she said it is important to wear a mask and wash your hands, and Dixon recommends having back up sanitizing wipes or hand sanitizer. This is especially important when it comes

to public restrooms in case there’s no soap in the restroom, he said.

“I think that the washing of hands before you eat or before you touch your face is always a good idea regardless of coronavirus,” he said. “I mean that’s always been a concern of public health.”

Any time people have to touch a door handle or any object others touch, he said they should be sure to sanitize or wash their hands. The same goes for leaving and returning home. He said to wash hands before leaving and when returning home and to sanitize between go-

ing other places.

Ludema also mentioned the idea of having a social bubble, where a couple people hang out with only each other. However, as someone who has researched STIs, she knows not everyone is transparent with their own practices, so this can be more risky. Dixon said self hygiene remains important to everyone’s health.

“At the end of the day, we’re responsible for our own health, but also humans are carriers of disease,” Dixon said. “So anything we can do to better take care of ourselves, then we’re doing the public a good.”

Bloomington bike shops see increased demand, shortages

By Lauren McLaughlin lrmclaug@iu.edu | @l_mclaughlin8

Normally, Revolution Bike and Bean is fully stocked, on the main floor and in the basement, sales manager Jesse Smith said.

Now, he can barely keep bikes on the floor.

“It’s crazy,” he said. “I’ll build up a new bike, and it’ll sell 20 minutes later.”

“I believe people are kind of all of a sudden more concerned with their health. You kind of look at bicycling and other outdoor activities, walking, running, that sort of stuff as a good alternative to doing nothing. Bike sales have just kind of skyrocketed.”

Adam Rodkey, Bikesmiths general manager

There has been a global shift in demand for bicycles, according to the New York Times. As people look for different ways to commute and get out of the house, the demand for bikes has brought a shortage to the U.S. This economic change affects Bloomington as well, a bicycling community.

“Especially this town, we

have amazing biking in all three categories of off-road, on-road, mountain biking,” Smith said. There’s just so much to do here.“ For Bikesmiths, another Bloomington bike shop, bike sales were up 68% in the beginning of April to May 23 from the same time last year, general manager Adam Rodkey said. He said he suspects they are up because it is spring but also because people are in quarantine.

“I believe people are kind of all of a sudden more concerned with their health,” he said. “You kind of look at bicycling and other outdoor activities, walking, running, that sort of stuff as a good alternative to doing nothing.

Bike sales have just kind of skyrocketed.”

Rodkey said there are a couple reasons for the shortage. The supply chain was disrupted back in 2018 due to tariffs placed on goods

from China. But manufacturing in countries such as Taiwan and the Philippines also shut down due to the coronavirus for months at a time. Now, production is behind. Bike shops are relying on bikes already in the U.S. “Whatever was in warehouses here in the U.S. is all that was available,” Rodkey said. “Basically everything that was left in the country just got completely bought up.”

Anne Holahan, co-owner of Bicycle Garage, Inc., said she has noticed that people of all ages are coming in for different reasons, including fitness, commuting and family activity. She said more people have been bringing their bikes in for repair, too.

Bicycle Garage, Inc. has seen demand from many places in Indiana, Holahan said. The store typically serves south-central Indiana, but more customers have

been coming from northern Indiana as well searching for specific bike models.

“It’s not unusual to have a customer come from, say Terre Haute or Greenwood,” she said. “We’ve seen more customers coming from a wider geographic area during the pandemic.”

The pandemic may have helped bike sales, but Smith says it also brought a loss.

“We probably lost a good chunk of business from whenever Little 5 got canceled,” he said. “It’s not just all happy things.”

The shortage is affecting most businesses, small and big, Rodkey said.

“It’s global,” he said. “A very big bike shop with a lot more buying power may have been able to bring in more units earlier on, but the fact is no one really knew this was going to happen like this.”

Holahan said the wait for bikes may also be because the industry is between model years. She said new bikes come out in June or July, but they will be delayed because of the pandemic.

Rodkey said Bikesmiths sold out of children’s bikes.

He said they still have adult bikes because they keep more adult bikes in stock than children’s. Smith said he noticed the same trend with children’s bikes at Revolution Bike and Bean.

“Most people are just trying to buy anything they can get their hands on,” he said.

“It’s just weird.”

Duke Energy Indiana is warning customers about receiving scam phone calls.

Since the company announced it isn’t disconnecting power due to nonpayment because of the pandemic, the company has seen an increase in reports of phone scams.

These scams often are a person or an automated system calling a Duke Energy

Indiana customer and demanding they pay a certain amount of money, buy gift cards or prepaid debit cards or immediately lose their power.

The company has even reported scammers replicating the Duke Energy automated response system.

“The best way to defend yourself against these scammers is to recognize how the scam works and understand that Duke Energy never asks customers for prepaid debit

cards,” said Duke Energy Indiana President Stan Pinegar.

The company is still not disconnecting power due to nonpayment, and if a customer was to receive a shutoff notice, they would receive it with their monthly bill, not within an hour or so, as the phone scammers say.

Duke Energy Indiana recommends customers call law enforcement if they feel threatened by potential scammers and report the situation to Duke Energy.

after forcing the drivers out of the intersection and directing traffic around the protesters.

Some drivers honked in support or raised fists out their windows while driving by, while a few in large trucks revved their engines and drove past the protesters aggressively quickly.

At around 7:30 p.m., protesters walked north on blocked-off College Avenue to the county jail.

At the jail, protesters stood in the street and chanted “We love you! We support you! You are not alone!” while people inside of the jail banged on windows in response.

Near the end of the protest, the protesters kneeled in silence, some with fists raised, for seven minutes, representing the seven minutes that some reports say Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin allegedly kneeled on Floyd’s neck for, protesters said.

Javier Cardona, an IU doctoral student in arts education from San Juan, Puerto Rico, said he was surprised when he arrived in Bloomington three years ago and saw a white person standing at the intersection of Walnut and Kirkwood with a “Black Lives Matter” sign.

white people protesting police brutality.

“The killing of men and women of color is an epidemic — at least for people who look like me,” Cardona said. “I jog, I ride my bike; I’m always wondering if people are going to look at me like a dangerous thing.”

Garrett Barrasas, a the-

“I’m tired of standing around and watching our world go to shit,” he said.

Market Street to where it intersected North Alabama Street, blocking off traffic.

Police made their way to the intersection, and suddenly banging sounds were heard and tear gas filled the air.

People began running as tear gas canisters were thrown and shot through the air.

There is much uncertainty as to who began the conflict with the police. Some protesters say the police shot off the gas first, others say a protester threw something at police which provoked them.

Jake, a protester who was within the intersection, later recounted that he did not see anything thrown at police but got tear gas in his eyes twice as police cleared people who were blocking the streets.

"It's not much of an excuse, I would say," Jake said.

The police continued north on Delaware and Alabama Streets with tear gas, and protesters broke glass in several storefronts on Alabama Street.

Protesters with tear gas in their eyes struggled to find the friends they had lost in the run to escape the gas.

Passing period times will be lengthened, new cleaning protocols will be put in place, grab-and-go dining will be offered and most in-person class sizes will be limited to 50 or fewer people.

The email also states that students will have the option to take classes online and work toward their degrees remotely. In addition to in-person classes being limited to 50 or fewer students to help with social distancing, there are different possibilities for class structures including groups of students attending class on different days or online lectures followed by smaller in-person discussions or lab groups.

Additional, optional winter-session classes will be offered during breaks, and these costs will be included in tuition rates.

“You will want to think carefully about what it means to come back to campus, and decide if this is what you want,” Robel said in the email. “If you do, and if you come, we will do everything we can to keep going, and you will be all in with doing that as well.”

There will be on-campus access to COVID-19 testing and monitoring for any students displaying symptoms.

Reasoning was also given for IU's decision to have all classes online between Thanksgiving and the beginning of February. The email says there is a concern of a second wave of outbreaks around when flu season peaks, which is typically between December and February, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

This email comes shortly after a release from the university about new rules about wearing masks on campus.

All people will also be required to wear cloth masks in public spaces, common areas and IU buildings, according to the email. This includes in-office and outdoor spaces where physical distancing is hard to maintain.

This rule will go into effect starting June 1. Masks will not be required if you are in a private office or in a space alone.

IU will provide two cloth face masks to all faculty, staff and students before the fall semester. The release states that this new rule is to slow the spread of COVID-19 and is in alignment with the CDC’s recommendations.

Along with the face mask rule, the university is requesting people taking other precautions such as practicing physical distancing and regularly sanitizing workspaces and shared equipment.

TAKE IT LIKE A FAN

ILLUSTRATIONS BY MADELYN POWERS | IDS

Bradley Hohulin is a sophomore in marketing.

To shave, or not to shave? That is the question for a world of men in quarantine, including several high-profile NFL personalities.

Athletes have let their stubble grow unfettered to varying degrees of success. Jets quarterback Sam Darnold’s five o’clock shadow may as well be bits of eraser shavings glued to his upper lip.

Meanwhile, Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew has gone so far as to monetize his famed mustache. Fans can now purchase a bobblehead of Minshew, fashioned in an homage to overnight celebrity Joe Exotic, aptly branded as the “Jaguar King.”

With hardly a strand of peach fuzz to manage myself, I have instead combed through the goatees and beards across the NFL to find the best in the business.

Ben Roethlisberger

Aaron Rodgers

Quarterback, Pittsburgh Steelers

Quarterback, Green Bay Packers

In a recorded message March 21, Roethlisberger urged viewers to adhere to national shelter-in-place laws.

Watching the grisly man speaking before me, I could only assume the real Roethlisberger and his family were being held hostage off-camera by an asylum escapee.

Alas, it was merely “Big Ben” himself, sporting a beard he has been growing since September. I don’t know when Roethlisberger decided the Forrest Gump look was for chumps and chose to go full Hagrid, but the result is frankly terrifying.

Recently, ESPN’s YouTube channel published a video entitled, “How dangerous does a healthy Ben Roethlisberger make the Steelers?” How dangerous? Are you kidding? I’d rather take my odds with a deranged axe murderer any day.

It seemed ludicrous when the Green Bay Packers selected Utah State University quarterback Jordan Love in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft despite having a two-time MVP in Rodgers on the roster.

Though his new mentorship role comes as a surprise, Rodgers already has the requisite facial hair, a scraggly brown beard just made for scratching pensively. Rodgers instantly reminds one of the late Robin Williams in the 1997 classic, “Good Will Hunting.”

Williams plays Sean Maguire, a therapist who guides a troubled but gifted student to catharsis. Like Maguire, Rodgers must teach a talented yet unrefined youth under tremendous scrutiny.

I can envision a preseason game in which Love throws an errant interception, forcing him to return in shame to the sideline, where Rodgers waits with a tender gaze of unadulterated empathy. Rodgers firmly embraces the tearful Love, gently whispering, “It’s not your fault,” over and over.

Ryan Fitzpatrick

Andy Reid

Quarterback, Miami Dolphins

Head coach, Kansas City Chiefs

Ahoy, Dolphins faithfuls. If Miami is going to emerge from the Davy Jones’ Locker of the AFC East, it’s going to take quite the swashbuckler. Fortunately, Fitzpatrick has spent his time locked in the captain’s quarters amassing a magnificent blond beard.

It’s unclear whether Fitzpatrick plans on playing football or plundering enemy vessels for doubloons and singing sea shanties. Regardless, it doesn’t take a siren song to make me fall in love with Miami’s cannonarmed signal-caller.

However, with rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa competing for a position at the helm, it remains to be seen who will be manning the ship’s wheel in 2020.

Fitzpatrick might never earn the starting job with the Dolphins or locate Blackbeard’s long-lost gold, but that doesn’t matter. The real treasure is literally hidden right under his nose.

For years, Reid’s lack of postseason success, coupled with his appearance, led to harsh comparisons from critics. His bespectacled eyes, portly stature and inability to deliver what you asked of him made Reid a dead ringer for a part-time mall Santa Claus.

Now, with a Super Bowl win on his resume and arguably the best team in the league, Reid’s stately gray mustache gives him a dignified resemblance to Germany’s formidable founding father, Otto von Bismarck.

Kansas City could not be luckier to have an MVP-caliber passer in Patrick Mahomes guided by the Iron Chancellor’s spiritual successor. Reid’s mind is surely swimming with brilliant offensive strategies, whether for scoring touchdowns or seizing victory for the motherland in the Franco-Prussian War.

While at the University of South Alabama, Khameron Taylor never worried about his receiving totals. The Jaguars needed him to focus on blocking to win, and he took pride in that role.

When IU announced the signing of the 6-foot-4-inch, 270-pound tight end graduate transfer, with 85 receiving yards to his name in college and two catches last season, everything pointed toward Taylor being a blocking tight end.

But as you start to peel back the cover on Taylor’s ca-

reer, his film shows what excited tight ends coach Kevin Wright and the rest of IU’s coaching staff.

While in a run-first offense at South Alabama — whose leading passer only threw 900 yards in 2019 — Taylor frequently sealed the edge of the offensive line for the running back and showed flashes in his few receptions.

While Taylor fit as a blocking tight end with the Jaguars, he believes his best bet to have an influence on the Hoosiers’ offense will come if he loses 15 pounds.

“I could play at 260, I could play at 270, but 255 is

where I feel the fastest, where I feel good,” Taylor said during Wednesday’s teleconference.

“I think I just need the opportunity,” Taylor said. “I didn’t at South (Alabama) get to run a lot of routes in games. I didn’t get a lot of targets. I feel like I’m going to make the most of the play when it comes my way.”

Taylor joins IU as much needed depth at tight end.

With the reinstatement timeline for junior tight end Peyton Hendershot still unknown, junior Matt Bjorson is the only active tight end with experience. Redshirt freshman Gary Cooper and

sophomore Turon Ivy Jr. both are high potential projects for IU, but aren’t expected to be key contributors next season.

“I’m just excited, and I feel like they’re going to push me to better myself, playing around guys that are that talented.”

Khameron Taylor, IU graduate transfer tight end

While the Hoosiers wait to see how Taylor can develop as a pass catcher, they have comfort in the fact that he’s

a standout blocker. When IU goes into “12” personnel — single running back and two tight ends — Taylor hopes to become a dual-threat option as a tight end/offensive lineman hybrid that can catch defenses by surprise.

“I think as far as fitting into our room, he fits as the guy that has that hybrid ability,” Wright said. “Not only his ability to block but also his ability along with our other guys, to be used in the play-action passing game I think will help in those types of short-yardage and maybe even goal-line and red-zone situations.”

Taylor also brings experi-

ence to the tight end room.

To Wright, nothing replaces game experience and the understanding of how fast the college game is compared to high school. Taylor can serve as a mentor to his younger teammates who hope to break onto the scene in 2020.

What many looked at as a roster filling transfer to gain depth and experience may turn into a key piece of the Hoosiers’ offense.

“I want to fit in and show the guys that I can play too,” Taylor said. “I’m just excited, and I feel like they’re going to push me to better myself, playing around guys that are that talented.”

OPINION

Editor Jerrett Alexander opinion@idsnews.com

EVERETT'S EXAMPLES

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden points during a campaign event Jan. 31 in Fort Madison, Iowa.

A moderate Democrat like Biden won’t win presidency Everett Kalman (he/him) is a rising senior studying law and public policy.

It’s a politically turbulent election year in the United States, and the Democratic National Committee has all but formally appointed a moderate candidate over Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., to face President Donald Trump in the general election. Is anyone else experiencing some serious déjà vu, or are Democrats just running the same play as in 2016?

In local and congressional elections, moderate Democratic candidates are often successful because they can represent a smaller constituency more accurately with nonpartisan or politically balanced policies. However, moderate Democrats haven’t been able to inspire the same excitement and passion across the country needed to win the Presidency.

Instead of focusing on putting a Democrat in the White House, Democratic voters should rather emphasize nominating someone who will bring real progress and change.

Shortly after the South Carolina primary election, former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn. and businessman Tom Steyer dropped out of the race and put their support behind former Vice President Joe Biden. Since then, nearly every other candidate in the Democratic primary race has also voiced their endorsement of Biden, including Sanders, who has continued to win delegates despite suspending his campaign.

To put it plainly, Biden doesn’t inspire people and make them excited about voting for him. According to a recent Emerson College poll, only 45% of Biden voters were extremely excited or very excited about voting

for Biden, compared to 64% of voters supporting Trump.

Much of the advertised excitement surrounding the Biden campaign isn’t about the proposed policies he’d work to put in place or his leadership qualities, but about removing Trump from office and returning to a more polite and sensible pre-Trump era of politics.

While Republicans feared a Hillary Clinton administration would just be a continuation of former President Barack Obama's two terms in office, Biden hasn’t shied away from this, calling himself an “O’Biden-Bama Democrat.”

More than personality and policy, moderate Democrats running for president haven’t captured the support of voters for the past two decades.

Al Gore, John Kerry and arguably Hillary Clinton ran on moderate tickets as party veterans. Kerry, in particular, was made out to be

the antithesis of President George W. Bush: a rational mind that wouldn’t get us into unnecessary conflict in the Middle East and could somehow bring over dissatisfied Republican voters with his “electability.” While an argument could be made over Gore’s contested loss, by and large these moderates didn’t inspire Obama, on the other hand, won on a progressive Democratic platform. Focusing on creating energyefficient jobs, expanding Medicare and Medicaid, and ending the war in Iraq, Obama won over Indiana voters for the Democratic Party for the first time since 1964.

This year, COVID-19 has laid bare several serious problems that many Americans face that progressive candidates like Sanders and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, DMass., have been pointing out throughout their campaigns.

Now that many Americans have been laid off or furloughed, the idea of Medicare for All has become even more popular, receiving 69% support according to a recent Hill-HarrisX poll.

Without money to pay for rent, home renters face a dire future that could be resolved by putting price caps on rent and increasing the minimum wage.

It would be nice if the president didn’t have a deeply adversarial relationship with the press and had more respect for the balance of government powers. But if removing the incumbent president is the only thing motivating the Democratic ticket, it won’t be enough.

More than pushing for a Democratic presidency, we should support candidates who emphasize real progress with policies that will have positive material impacts on the American people. eskalman@iu.edu

BRETT’S BLOVIATIONS

IU needs to reopen in the fall with in-person instruction Brett Abbott (he/him) is a rising sophomore studying finance.

With the COVID-19 pandemic forcing schools to make radical changes to instruction, the threat of an online or hybrid format for classes continues to loom for the fall semester.

Schools such as Purdue University, University of Notre Dame and New York University have bucked the trend of online instruction and announced plans to resume inperson instruction in the fall.

Some, such as Notre Dame, have implemented adjusted schedules without breaks, while others have adopted policies to reduce housing density, increase testing and offer large lectures remotely.

If other Midwestern schools like Notre Dame and Purdue feel they can safely return to online classes, IU can too.

Mitch Daniels, president of Purdue University, said in an interview that, given the majority of students are under the age of 35, “the data is very, very clear: [they are] at essen-

tially no lethal risk from this disease.” Given this low risk, Purdue is anticipating a return to in-person instruction in the fall.

He’s right. For those 18 to 44 years old, the death rate from COVID-19 is 0.019% based on a New York City study.

Of course, the death rate shouldn’t be the only consideration. What about the severe cases we see all the time on the news? CDC data shows these are extremely atypical cases, with only .0025% of people ages 18 to 49 requiring hospitalization for severe symptoms. Based on a CDC study, people ages 18 to 49 only comprised 24.28% of total hospitalizations, despite being the largest age range.

The average college-aged student is at little to no risk of developing a severe case of COVID-19. Of course, students with underlying conditions, as well as faculty and staff who may be older and at risk, may still need special accommodations to ensure safety. Any plan to reopen should include special consideration like online options

for those at risk, but the vast majority of students and professors can safely resume in person instruction.

It is also essential that IU open for in-person instruction from a financial perspective.

Out-of-state students pay over $50,000 annually to attend IU. They pay this amount because they believe in the quality of education that IU provides. That quality is greatly reduced when interactions are consigned to online platforms. I wouldn't be surprised if some out-of-state students decide to take a year off and save their money until they can continue with in-person instruction.

This is especially true for incoming freshmen, who have the option to take a gap year without affecting their educational progress. I would venture that it would be the most logical option to take a gap year if incoming freshmen can’t benefit from oncampus, in-person instruction. Why spend $50,000 for Zoom lectures?

Most importantly, if fewer students attend IU because of online instruction, every

remaining student’s tuition will increase. While there has not been a formal announcement, it's feasible that students will see a tuition increase purely because of budget shortfalls from this past year, and fewer students would compound the issue.

For the sake of their students, their educational mission and their continuing fiscal well-being, it is imperative

for IU to return to in-person instruction in the fall, and not just a “hybrid approach,” as President Michael McRobbie mused in a previous announcement. While the hybrid approach is a step in the right direction, it doesn't go far enough to mitigate the adverse effects of online instruction. Holding online lectures and virtual office hours still doesn't engage students the

way in-person instruction does.

The statistics are clear. Students are largely not at risk of severe COVID-19 cases, and a return to some semblance of normalcy in the fall with proper social distancing and sanitation procedures is not only possible, but both safe and necessary. brabbott@iu.edu

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Don't forget about the global poor during this pandemic Much media coverage surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic focuses on impacts to American society and economy. However, little to no attention has been given to the world population most at risk of suffering the greatest from

the disease and its secondary impact — the global poor.

We are already seeing massive changes to our everyday lives and our interaction with our economy. Those changes, however, will be massively amplified for those

considered impoverished when the pandemic began.

Based on estimates made by the International Monetary Fund, “all the progress in reducing poverty since the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals in Sep-

tember 2015 has been lost.”

This means COVID-19 has set the fight against global poverty back nearly five years. In fact, according to the same estimates, “2020 will be the first time this century that the number of poor people will

rise.”

There will have to be herculean efforts made in the coming years to mitigate the devastation COVID-19 will have on the global poor. It’s easy to see how this crisis is impacting our own lives, but

it is always important to keep a sense of perspective and continue working to fight the many factors opposing the most impoverished communities.

Annual Big Ten Network 10K race goes virtual

Then-seniors Brenna Wise and Nick Westbrook are recipients of Big Ten Outstanding Sportsmanship Awards. Each Big Ten university chooses one member of each varsity athletic team to receive the award.

Two IU athletes win Big Ten Awards

By Luke Christopher Norton lcnorton@iu.edu | @LCNorton31

Former IU athletes Nick Westbrook and Brenna Wise were named Wednesday as recipients of Big Ten Outstanding Sportsmanship Awards.

One member of each varsity athletic team at every Big Ten university is chosen by their institution as a Sportsmanship Award honoree. Two athletes are selected from these honorees as Outstanding Sportsmanship Award winners.

Westbrook, a former wide receiver for IU football, is a four-time Academic All-Big Ten selection.

Westbrook played in the 2020 East-West Shrine Bowl on January 18. Proceeds from the game are donated to Shriner’s

Hospitals for Children.

Wise, a former forward for the IU women’s basketball team, also earned the award during the 2018-19 academic year. Wise was a finalist for the Senior CLASS Award, which recognizes achievements in com-

petition as well as in the classroom and community.

Wise, the team’s lone senior, started for the Hoosiers in every game of the 2019-20 season, leading the team in both total offensive rebounds with 54 and rebounds per game with 5.9.

The Big Ten Network Big 10K, an annual event where runners support their favorite Big Ten university and raise money for charity, will be virtual, according to a release.

Racers are encouraged to participate in the race between July 26 and Aug. 1 and walk or run a 5K or 10K. The registration cost is $20 and each participant receives a Big Ten-themed headband, certificate, bib and school-specific shirts.

There will be no gender or age-group awards because the times will all be self-reported.

The event will benefit ALIVE Rescue, a Chicagoland-area animal shelter, Special Olympics Chicago, a sports and athletic training competition for people with intellectual disabilities, and Feeding America, the country’s largest hungerrelief organization.

Registration continues through July 10, and more information is on the Big Ten Network 10K website.

Get groovy in quarantine with tie-dye

By Alex Deryn aderyn@iu.edu | @AlexandraDeryn

Time-travel backward to the 1970s, where people in psychotropic outfits filled the streets, Stevie Nicks blasted out of windows and the coronavirus was unheard of.

Coronavirus outbreaks call for stay-at-home activities. Tie-dye is making a huge comeback, driven by nostalgia for simpler times, according to British Vogue.

Spending time at home is the perfect opportunity to let imagination run wild with creativity. People get to use their hands and be artistic in their backyards.

Spiking temperatures call for Hoosiers to play in the sun. Tie-dying outside is a groovy activity for everyone in the family to take part in.

All you need is a pair of disposable gloves, empty bottles, dying powders, elastic bands and white Tshirts.

Step 1: Mix the dye Tie-dye kits often come with colored powder. The more powder added to an empty bottle, the higher the saturation of any given color will

be. Empty the colored powder into a bottle and fill the rest of it with water.

Step 2: Shake it up Put on a pair of disposable gloves and shake the bottle until the powder is completely dissolved.

Step 3: Wrap it up Decorate a T-shirt with elastic bands by wrapping it around the shirt in different ways. The tie-dye effect is shaped by the bands. Different designs and patterns emerge with spirals, stripes and spots.

Step 4: Add dye Squeeze the bottles filled with different colors of dye onto a blank Tshirt. The more dye added, the more vibrant the colors will appear.

Step 5: Wrap, wait and wash Bind the T-shirt in plastic wrap.

Wait six to eight hours for the dye to stain the shirt. Wash the shirt in warm water and then dry.

After following these instructions, you should be able to create a lasting piece of fashion during these seemingly strange times.

Tie-dyed shirts lay in the grass May 27. After staining for six to eight hours, the shirts were washed in warm water separately and left in the sun to dry.
