Freedom Indiana Faith Organizer Angie Alexander and volunteer Donna Kordes bow their heads in prayer at the Statehouse yesterday. The group gathered at the Rotunda to pray and protest several bills they think are discriminatory to the LGBT community.

Debating freedoms “Super RFRA” shot down by Republicans By Carmen Heredia Rodriguez caheredi@indiana.edu | @caheredia21

Republicans in the state Senate Judiciary Committee killed a bill that would have repeated the controversy of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act by protecting religious liberties while providing no safeguards against discrimination for LGBT individuals. Senate Bill 66, known as “superRFRA,” would have made it more difficult for the government to pass laws regulating the exercise of religion, free speech and the right to bear arms. However, the bill contained no clause prohibiting businesses from using the law to discriminate against LGBT individuals based on religious objection. Two other LGBT-related bills in addition to SB 66 were also discussed in the Senate Wednesday. Late afternoon, the Senate Committee for Rules and Legislative Procedure had a hearing to discuss Senate Bill 100 and Senate Bill 344. Both bills aimed to provide specific protections to LGBT individuals. After four hours of testimony, the

committee approved an amended version of SB 344 in a 7-5 decision. Legislators added safeguards against discrimination based on sexual orientation and veteran status. Local government agencies also cannot refuse legal documents such as marriage licenses. However, faith-based organizations, including adoption agencies, can refuse services based on religious objections. Transgender individuals have no legal protections against discrimination under the bill. SB 344 will be deliberated by the full Senate. The committee didn’t move to vote on SB 100. During the SB 66 committee meeting, audience members crowded Room 130 in the Statehouse as Sen. Michael Young, R-35th district, testified in favor of SB 66. “No matter who is in this room today, no matter what you believe in, I am protecting every one of your rights,” he said. After Young’s statement, Sen. Brent Steele, R-44th district, Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee,

Repeals the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, saying there are certain provisions in Indiana’s state constitution that are “fundamental rights” and prohibiting governmental entities from infringing on those rights unless the government can provide a valid and case-specific reason

In the Indianapolis Statehouse, the people wearing red prayed. They stood with a red ribbon twined around them, holding them together. They formed a circle directly beneath the arched stained glass top of the Statehouse Rotunda in the center of the building. The prayer was organized by Freedom Indiana, a statewide grassroots campaign that advocates for LGBT rights. All morning, LGBT supporters hung around the main level of the Statehouse, singing, reading Bible verses and speaking out against a slew of senate bills that were discussed in the General Assembly on Wednesday. The worst offender, according to opponents of the bills, was Senate Bill 66, which was struck down in committee early Wednesday morning. The bill was dubbed “Super RFRA” by opponents and would have repealed last year’s controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act and replaced it with stronger

protections of what the bill says are “fundamental rights,” such as freedom to practice religion and the right to bear arms. In a few hours, the Rotunda would be packed with people rallying for LGBT rights. But at 8 a.m. Wednesday morning, there were only 11 people practicing their faith in the small circle. They prayed for peace, common sense and freedom. They prayed for healing and for strength. Most of all, they prayed for Indiana legislators to see reason and keep their oath to protect all citizens by halting the controversial bills. Some of their prayers were seemingly answered when SB 66 was killed in committee around 9:20 a.m., less than a half hour after the meeting began. Robert Shaw, 68, a retired pastor said the group chose to wear red because it represented the flames of Pentecost, a Christian celebration of the day the Holy Spirit filled SEE PRAY, PAGE 6

Smedley’s sister IU stays perfect at home, off to ﬁles complaint best Big Ten start since 2010 The family of IU student Joseph Smedley, whose body was found last October in Lake Griffy, has filed a formal complaint against the Bloomington Police Department. The complaint, written by Smedley’s sister, Vivianne Brown, was filed Jan. 20, after Brown said she had received little cooperation from BPD. Brown said that after multiple attempts to request information from BPD regarding the investigation of her brother’s death, she has received no response from the department. “With all of the friends and family that Joseph has, we’re going to keep talking about him and we’re going to keep putting pressure on them until they realize that it’s not going anywhere, we’re not going anywhere and you actually need to step up,” Brown said Wednesday. Brown, who said she does not believe her brother’s death was a suicide, wrote the complaint on behalf of her mother. Brown’s mother, who lives in the U.S. Virgin Islands, transferred her power of attorney rights to Brown, who lives much

closer to the case, so that she might be able to communicate with local officials. BPD, however, has only kept contact with Smedley’s father, who Brown said has been estranged from the rest of the family. “My father has been kind of acting as a wedge between the Bloomington Police Department,” Brown said. “I’ve been trying to work with him but he hasn’t really been responsive.” The complaint was filed against BPD on grounds of “obstructing an autopsy, withholding information from the mother while speaking to the father and being unreasonable with Vivianne, who has tried to do nothing but be kept in the loop to continue to find the justice for Joseph that he deserves,” according to the complaint. In early December, Monroe County Coroner Nicole Meyer determined Smedley’s death to be a suicide by drowning. Brown has since hired forensic pathologist Thomas Sozio of Central Indiana Forensic Associates to perform a second autopsy of the body. SEE SMEDLEY, PAGE 6

64-48 By Teddy Bailey eebailey@indiana.edu | @TheTeddyBailey

Sophomore forward Amanda Cahill launched a 3-pointer with 6:21 remaining in the game. Her shot rattled around the rim for what seemed like an eternity. Wednesday’s announced crowd of 2,496 gasped as Cahill’s shot appeared to be bouncing out of Assembly Hall’s north cylinder. That never happened, though. Cahill’s shot bounced in to give the Hoosiers a 13-point lead. The IU faithful roared, as Cahill’s shot was a dagger for any hopes of a comeback. Although the Hoosiers shot just 18-of-52 from the floor against the Scarlet Knights, IU capitalized plays such as Cahill’s all night long. Sophomore guard Tyra Buss scored in 24 points and corralled seven rebounds as IU won 64-48 against Rutgers. The win kept the Hoosiers unbeaten at home, with a perfect 9-0 mark inside Assembly Hall. IU improved to 13-8 (5-4) — their best Big

IFC makes changes to recruitment process By Austin Faulds afaulds@indiana.edu | @afaulds9615

The Interfraternity Council will be making major changes to the recruitment process this semester. Traditionally, fraternity and sorority recruitment tend to be very different, with the latter being the more “formal,” said Max Lundin, vice president of IFC recruitment. IFC also has two rushes each year, while the Panhellenic Association only has one in spring. However, for this recruitment IFC is becoming slightly more similar to PHA in terms of giving more exposure to each of the chapters on campus, Lundin said. IFC is the umbrella organization for all of the

fraternity chapters on campus. Likewise, the PHA serves the same purpose for all of the sorority chapters on campus. “We’re trying to make it so you have more formalized education on what the different chapters have to offer,” he said. “We want to give the men who are rushing a more in-depth view into the chapters they are seeing.” Lundin said he wants to inform the potential new members of what each chapter has to offer, receive feedback from them and allow them to explore all of their options on their own until they find their ideal match. “My goal is that rush becomes more of a process to where every guy is going to get exposure to every dif-

ferent chapter he is going to want to see,” Lundin said. On Jan. 29, IFC will be putting on a Greek Orientation Seminar, something relatively new to the IFC recruitment process. Lundin said this will be a large presentation featuring all the presidents from the different chapters across campus, as well as representatives from Greek communities like the Multi-Cultural Greek Council and the National Pan-Hellenic Council. Exposure to these two organizations is important because it shows that IFC and PHA are not the only Greek communities on campus. “We want to show them that this is a community that we want to be progressive,” he said.

IFC’s Vice President of Community Programs Jesse Scheinman said he would also like to use the seminar as an opportunity to promote organizations like Men Against Rape and Sexual Assault. On Jan. 31, when rush officially begins, IFC will put on rush tabling at the Indiana Memorial Union Solarium. At this event, potential new members will be meeting with different Greek organizations on campus at different tables. This is done as a means of better familiarizing the potential new members with what Greek life is about, Lundin said. On Feb. 1 and 2, there will be tours of all the different fraternity chapters on campus. Originally, IFC recruit-

ment would consist of only the tabling and house tours, so this is a big step toward change, Lundin said. It allows for a broader representation of Greek life than what has been given in the past. For this recruitment, Lundin said IFC is looking for trustworthy, ambitious potential new members. He said chapter presidents want members who won’t get their chapter revoked. “These are the guys that you’re going to need when you need someone most, so those are the guys you should be looking for,” he said. Following recruitment, Scheinman said IFC plans on educating new members on issues like sexual assault on campus. On top of this, he will be informing members of

the philanthropy community service opportunities to get involved in. “We hope to get the new members on a macro-community scale,” he said. Given the recent controversy and suspensions of IU chapters like Alpha Tau Omega and Phi Kappa Psi, Lundin said he recognizes there may be a hesitancy to join a fraternity. However, he said he believes members typically join with the intent of not getting their chapter revoked, so he doesn’t think it will drastically change their turnout of members recruiting this year. “Everyone wants a community that works well together, and rush is the first step in creating that community,” Lundin said.

IU students visited Jamaica as a study abroad program called "Root, Friuts & Resiliency" on January.

Jamaica course teaches sustainability By Ashlyn Bridgewater ashbridg@indiana.edu

Prior to visiting Jamaica, junior Kerry Ryffel was interested in sustainability. However, after participating in adjunct faculty member John Galuska’s “Root, Fruits and Resilliency” program last summer, Ryffel realized sustainability was something she wanted to study at school. The program is designed to broaden students’ understanding of sustainability. In class, students learn about important facets of Jamaican culture, including economy, ecotourism and agriculture. These topics will be combined with studying sustainable practices and theories. “I really appreciated that there was a balance of science and culture,” Ryffel said. “I think that there’s something for everybody there.”

Ryffel is now a double major with psychology and sustainability. Galuska, director of the Foster International Living Learning Center, will be leading students to Jamaica for the ninth time this summer for the “Root, Fruits and Resiliency” program. Starting May 10, the course will last six weeks, with two weeks in Jamaica. Three weeks will be spent in the classroom before the trip, learning about colonial and cultural Jamaican history, ecological issues in the Caribbean, agriculture practices and ecotourism. Students will return to Bloomington for a final week of class to complete the course, and will earn three credit hours. Jamaica is an area of interest because of its agricultural practices, ecotourism and sustainability efforts that are applicable in other countries including the

United States, Galuska said. During her time on the trip, Ryffel said she saw the way these practices can be translated to American food systems. The program allows students to individually explore topics of their own interest in Jamaica while working on service-learning projects. “There was a ton of hands-on experience,” Ryffel said. “We learned about everything but then we got to apply all of that in Jamaica and work with farmers and different community leaders and actually work with them and help them and that was really powerful.” Students were able to talk to people in Jamaica from all walks of life, ranging from musicians and farmers to spiritualists and authors. “We show them how culture is basically connected to the environment and how people are connected to the environment,” Galuska said.

“People living in Jamaica are living that interface.” Students on this year’s trip will participate in group activities such as hiking in the Blue and John Crow Mountains, seeing cultural sites and working with farmers to learn about local agriculture. After more than 10 years of work, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization has finally named Jamaica’s Blue and John Crow Mountains a World Heritage site. There are only 32 areas in the world recognized for both cultural and natural elements. According to UNESCO’s website, the south-east area consists of tropical rainforests, cultural trails and globally endangered species. “It was really an amazing experience,” Ryffel said. “I’m really thankful I did it. I would encourage anyone to look into it.”

IUSA will create a guide for off-campus housing By Laurel Demkovich lfdemkov@indiana.edu @laureldemkovich

The IU Student Association is planning to create a housing guide for students looking to move off campus. The goal of the guide is to make the transition from on-campus to off-campus smoother, chief of staff Sara Zaheer said. “We want to make sure that they’re as prepared when they’re making those decisions as possible,” Zaheer said. Last semester, freshman Alex Yu worked as an IUSA intern and began thinking about questions he could ask students about moving off campus. After attending the Association of Big Ten Students conference a few weeks ago, Zaheer began working on a similar project with Sara Ivey Lucas, assistant dean of students for parents and offcampus affairs, and decided to bring Yu aboard.

Zaheer, Yu and Lucas will begin meeting in the coming weeks to discuss their plans, goals and ideas for this guide. “When I was looking for houses, it was overwhelming,” Yu said. “I feel like a lot of other students felt this way, too.” One of the first steps in creating this guide will be to send a survey to students containing questions about different landlords or property owners, price of rent and utilities, cleanliness and safety. Yu said he is also looking into the idea of creating a ranking system where students can rank specific elements of an off-campus house on a 1 to 10 scale. Keeping a strong connection with students off campus is important, Zaheer said. “You don’t want to lose that connection between the University and the students,” she added. Although no format for the guide has been decided,

Zaheer said her plans include a web-based resource where students can look at different categories they want to learn more about, including locations or safety. “We want to just guide students to look more thoroughly through things before signing,” Zaheer said. “It is a big step going from the dorms where everything is taken care of for you to off campus.” Other aspects Zaheer said she was looking into include creating a resource for students once they have moved in, or a student-based source on how to avoid getting in trouble with police. The guide could also be a way to hold landlords accountable, Yu added. “That way they’ll be inclined to do better,” he said. Although this guide is still in its early steps, Yu said he hopes it will be ready to roll out by next school year. This resource is something Zaheer said she wished

she had when making the decision to move off campus. Other students said they agree. Freshman Gil Fitzgerald has already signed the lease for his off-campus apartment for next year. However, he said this resource definitely would have helped him make the decision. “I think that’d be an awesome idea,” Fitzgerald said. “If a resource like that existed, we would’ve absolutely utilized it.” Even if the guide is only a list of questions for students to think of before moving, Zaheer said it would be still be a good starting place for students. Yu said he wants this guide to be a good source of information that can only be found out from other students. “My goal is to help students have an unbiased source they can look to when searching for off-campus housing,” Yu said.

Director of Financial Literacy Phil Schuman refers to himself as a card-carrying member of the student debt club. But now, as one of the developers of the IU Office of Financial Literacy, Schuman intends to help students who find themselves in the same situation he went through, he said. Schuman and his colleague Morgan McMillan spoke at the Cha Ching presentation on financial literacy at the DeVault Alumni Center on Wednesday night. Schuman and McMillan run IU’s MoneySmarts team with the Office of Financial Literacy. “Between my MBA and my wife’s law degree, we had thousands and thousands of dollars in debt,” Schuman said. “But it wasn’t debilitating because we knew how to pay it off correctly. A lot of students don’t realize that debt doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad thing.” The event was part of the IU Alumni Association’s “Life After IU” series. The speaker series aims to help students learn professional skills and transition to supporting themselves after graduation, said Emili Sperling, IUAA’s associate director of career and professional development. The series also includes programs that focus on professional dress, networking skills and transitioning to different cities. IUAA uses the program to complement programs offered by the career services office, Sperling said. “Money and debt often seem like taboo things to talk about with parents, and so we wanted to provide a place to lay everything out and be realistic,” Sperling said. “So many people tell us they’re in over their head when they graduate, so we wanted to start providing support while students are still here so that doesn’t happen.” The financial literacy presentation included information for students on bud-

geting, saving for retirement, paying off debt and building good credit. Some of the biggest mistakes people make after they graduate are spending too much with their first paycheck and not having a plan to pay back debt, McMillan said. Most of the students attending the events were juniors and seniors. The idea of leaving IU and managing finances independently is daunting, Senior Dennis Coffey said. “I’m definitely nervous about it, especially when you hear people talking about how fast your money can go,” Coffey said. “Before I had a scholarship here, I was really pressed on cash, so I know a little bit about how these problems can feel. I figured even just an hour learning about finances would help a little.” For some students, managing finances can be hard when your future career path isn’t set in stone, Senior Megan Grimm said. Grimm said she recently decided she wants to go to law school to become a sustainability lawyer. This means she needs to rethink what she thought her financial situation would be after her graduation, she said. “I could go to law school now, or I might work for a few years and then go get my law degree, but I don’t know for sure yet, which makes it a little harder to decide how to handle my money,” Grimm said. “But either way, it’ll be easier to make that decision if I’m actually familiar with how budgeting and personal finance is supposed to work.” Traditional financial advising is often focused on making and saving huge amounts of money, but that’s not the goal of the Life After IU presentations, Schuman said. “Students really just need realistic financial skills they can use at the beginning of their careers,” Schuman said. “Our job is to help students get degrees and jobs they love without feeling like their debt is telling them to pursue careers they don’t want.”

Indianapolis principal dead after bus accident By Jack Evans jackevan@indiana.edu | @JackHEvans

INDIANAPOLIS — An elementary school principal died Tuesday when she moved to push young students out of the path of a bus that had jumped a curb outside the school. Susan Jordan, 69, was the principal at Amy Beverland Elementary School. She Susan died on im- Jordan pact when hit by the bus, according to a release from the Indianapolis Fire Department. Two 10-year-old students were also struck in the accident, which occurred during afternoon pick-up Tuesday. Each sustained non-lifethreatening injuries and are expected to make a full recovery. Twenty-five children who were already on the bus were unharmed. The Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township canceled school across the district Wednesday, but Amy Beverland remained open as one of four emotional support centers for families and staff. “Thank You, Mrs. Jordan!” read a sign hanging on a fence outside the elementary school. “We Love You!”

In a press conference Wednesday, three of Jordan’s friends and colleagues said she died as she lived: putting the well-being of children first. “Maybe the reason she was there all the years was to be there for those kids,” school information specialist Jamie Strebing said. There is no indication the bus driver, whose name has not been released, was impaired at the time of the accident, according to a release from MSDLT. The bus driver, who does not have a history of moving violations or discipline issues, said she saw Jordan push several children out of the bus’s way, according to the IFD release. She said she wasn’t sure what caused the bus, which had been static, to accelerate. Jordan had been the school’s principal for more than 22 years. Strebing was joined at the press conference by Parent Faculty Organization president Amy Bilyeu and district administrator Denna Renbarger. Bilyeu said Jordan would memorize students’ activities and interests in addition to their names. Then, holding their shoulders and speaking face to face, she’d talk to them in the hallways about their lives. Strebing remembered how Jordan signed every certificate awarded to students

who met monthly reading goals, shaking every student’s hand when presenting their certificate — thousands every year. Meredith Nordmann, an IU sophomore who attended Amy Beverland, said she remembered Jordan keeping children calm during a tornado. “We were all sitting in the hallway for, like, three hours, and she read us stories over the intercom,” she said. Lexi Benson, 14, attended Amy Beverland and said she was close with Jordan. Jordan remembered names, she said, and gave cards out for birthdays.

When Benson’s father suddenly needed a liver transplant three years ago, he was given a short time to live if a liver didn’t become available. “She was always there for me,” Benson, now an eighth grader, said. “She would come by my classroom every day to make sure I was doing OK.” Kristen Day, 17, only attended Amy Beverland for her sixth grade year, but she said the interest Jordan took in her students extended past their time at the school. When Day, now a high school junior, returned to the elementary school in November with the Lawrence Town-

ship School Student Foundation to appear on the school’s morning announcements, she saw Jordan. “It had been five years since I’d been there, and she was telling me how much she remembered me and loved to see me come back,” she said. Day, who is black, also said Jordan made her feel comfortable in the mostly white school. “She really made sure to make everyone feel welcome and make sure we didn’t feel different,” she said. For some, Renbarger said, Jordan’s death was so shocking its weight hasn’t hit yet. Others have begun work-

ing on ways to honor Jordan’s life. A t-shirt reading “Amy Beverland Strong” is in the works, and the school has requested book donations in lieu of flowers. All schools in the district except Amy Beverland and the Early Learning Center at Amy Beverland will be in session Thursday. Counselors have encouraged parents and staff not to fear grieving in front of their children, Renbarger said. “It will be part of us forever, but we’ll grow stronger,” she said. “We don’t know why, but children were saved, and that’s what Mrs. Jordan would have wanted.”

Cursive debate making a Bloomington community comeback with Indiana bill members discuss going green By Annie Garau agarau@indiana.edu | @agarau6

With computers, tablets and smart phones, it seems kids today might not have any use for old-fashioned pen and paper. With the advancement of technology, Common Core standards, which are typically adhered to by 36 states, dropped its cursive instruction requirement. This shift in curriculum sparks yearly debates over whether or not the skill of writing in cursive remains relevant. State Sen. Jean Leising, R-Oldenburg, said she thinks it does. For this reason, Leising authored Senate Bill 73. This would reverse the 2011 Department of Education decision that made cursive instruction optional in Indiana elementary schools. The bill passed the Senate last week. “Our children should not be denied the opportunity to learn such a valuable skill,” Leising said in a press release. “Medical professionals have found that proficient handwriting is linked to adult-like thought processing and higher test scores. Much of history is written in cursive, and it is

important that we give our children the tools and skills they need to reach their full potential.” Jennifer Garl, a second grade teacher at Rogers Elementary School, said she agrees cursive is important. When the new standards were set in 2011, she and her fellow teachers decided they would continue teaching cursive even though it was no longer required. “We felt like kids at least needed to be able to read it,” Garl said. “So we still teach them all of the letters, but we no longer require all of their writing to be done in cursive.” Garl said she found it interesting that some of her students who have trouble with fine motor skills are actually much better at the fluid cursive strokes than the choppy printing movements. Iris Hatfield, author of the New American Cursive Penmanship Program, said the development of fine motor skills is only one of many unexpected benefits to learning cursive. It has been shown to improve the neural connections in the brain, to stimulate the brain in ways that printing and typing cannot and to help students develop self

discipline, Hatfield said. Writing helps students remember things better than typing, Hatfield said. Cursive is faster than printing and also can help students become better readers and spellers because they see words as whole units instead of individual letters, she said. Hatfield noted that cursive is more individualized than printing because it allows writers to be creative and artistic. This is also why signatures written in cursive are harder to forge. “You look at your grandparents’ writing and historical writing.” Hatfield said. “They had such beautiful penmanship and that’s because they were not taught to print until much later on in their educations.” After watching handwriting deteriorate throughout her 40 years as a handwriting coach, Hatfield said she is very happy to see legislators like Leising beginning to recognize all of the benefits of cursive. Leising’s bill will now move to the House Education Committee, which will determine whether or not it will be heard in the House.

Bloomington residents brainstormed ways to make sustainable living easier at Wednesday’s Green Drinks meeting in the Banquet Facility of Upland Brewing Company. Rhonda Baird led the discussion on permaculture design, which generated ideas about more extensive community gardening, clean energy and balancing work and a self-reliant lifestyle. Baird is the assistant editor of Permaculture Design Magazine, which publishes writing about regenerative living. She teaches Permaculture Design courses as well. Baird’s lecture, “Using Permaculture Design to Vision a Thriving Bloomington,” detailed the goals of the living strategy. Permaculture is essentially an ethical design system that takes into account the needs of people and of the environment in a given community. Food, energy and land needs should thus be met in a “sustainable — and even regenerative — way,” Baird said. Permaculture’s first priority, Baird said, is to care for the land. Every other goal comes

after that. Part of a sustainable lifestyle is recognizing and living within the limits of the land — by minimizing consumption, waste and even population, Baird said. In an ideal world, the tenants of “earth care, people care and fair share” can be applied to city and county infrastructure as well as smaller community projects, Baird said. “Permaculture focuses on land and land stewardship, certainly, but also building, how we build, and tools, and science and technology, how we make decisions using those,” Baird said. “Landscape architecture is only one part.” Baird asked Green Drinks attendees to use the markers and paper left on each table to write out steps the city could take to make its residents less dependent on wasteful consumption. Patricia Coleman of Local Food Bloomington said the city should encourage people to “transform grass spaces into edible landscapes”. “The city should be encouraging people to repurpose their lawns,” Coleman said. Chris Haynes suggested that in order to make edible landscapes more feasible,

Bloomington could demolish small structures like unused sheds and developing neighborhood committees to manage the planting. Baird kept a list of ideas ranged from encouraging residents to compost to starting a gray water recycling program to cleanse and use water from sinks and showers for irrigation or toilet flushing. “We recognize that we are in a socially opportune moment,” Baird said. “We have more resources, social capital, wealth, than we believe we might 100 years from now, or 50 years from now.” One issue that emerged was the difficulty of growing one’s own food or being less dependent on mass consumption when a 40-houra-week job usually requires much free time and energy. Baird suggested people who are interested in sustainable living could either work to redefine expectations for work-life balance, or start tending relationships with people who could put more time into growing food. “The goal is to create a thriving, beautiful, regenerative, juicy, loving community where we take care of each other and take care of the community,” Baird said.

Nude artists need to show some maturity The rich people of the art world want “shiny work and don’t care about meaning”, says Lisa Levy, the artist who plans to sit naked on a toilet for two days to protest this attitude. Artists have recently used nudity to make statements. Milo Moire posed naked in

response to Cologne’s sexual assaults. But it doesn’t work because these artists attack art’s unquestionable privilege by using the idea art should be questioned. And it’s a superficial way to address a tricky issue. They probably just love being naked.

Poisoning relations with Russia WE SAY: Russia’s actions reﬂect political reality for world powers

ILLUSTRATION BY MERCER T. SUPPIGER | IDS

SHOWALTER’S SHOW AND TELL

Ex-KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko was murdered under suspicious circumstances in 2006. Investigators from the United Kingdom reached a conclusion last week to the bizarre killing. The investigators concluded Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered Litvinenko to be poisoned with radioactive polonium that would be slipped into his green tea at the London Millennium Hotel. While Litvinenko’s murder sounds more like a subplot in the new James Bond film than something that happened in real life, the Editorial Board sees the Litvinenko killing as a political reality all world powers face. Litvinenko became a political enemy of Russia and Putin after he publicly announced he was ordered to kill businessman and government official Boris Berezovsky in 1998 as part of his involvement with the Federal Security Service. Litvinenko was immediately dismissed from the FSB after publicly revealing agency secrets and more personal accusations against Putin. He later fled to the U.K., where he was granted political asylum. During his time under British protection, Litvinenko wrote at least two notable books about FSB corruption and his disdain for Putin, who served in the KGB at the same time as Litvinenko

and headed the FSB in 1999. Putin ordered Litvinenko to be poisoned with radioactive material in the sneakiest and least diplomatic manner possible. But many governments, including the United States, also carry out killings of political enemies. Governments of other nations find ways to get rid of political enemies in order to preserve the status quo in their countries. For example, the U.S. government uses regular drone strikes to take out enemies all over the world. The New York Times exposed President Obama’s administrative takeover of counter-terrorism with the institution of the “kill list” and weekly meetings to determine potential targets. The meetings have been nicknamed “Terror Tuesday.” But it isn’t only the U.S. and Russia. On Aug. 21, 2015, the U.K. executed a drone strike in Syria that killed two British citizens. British Prime Minister David Cameron justified the attack as “selfdefense” against future attacks on the U.K. by the Islamic State, the Guardian reported. The Russian government chooses to go about eradicating political enemies in a less direct, more painful way. They also seem to have few qualms about making their handiwork known.

If we take a look at the history of the Russian government and their practices of eliminating political enemies, it comes as no surprise that Litvinenko’s tea was poisoned. NPR’s Moscow correspondent Gregory Feifer’s book “Great Gamble,” about the Soviet war in Afghanistan, details an attempted attack in 1979 using the same method. In his book, Feifer describes how the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics attempted to poison several members of the Afghan government, including then president Hafizullah Amin, by poisoning their dinner. While this attempt failed because of a counteracting agent in the victim’s beverage, Coca Cola, it’s easy to see that the Russian government has used poison to solve their political problems for some time. The 2006 death of Litvinenko by poison might seem out of the ordinary, but for the Russian government, removing political enemies with poison is fairly normal. It’s important for the Editorial Board to emphasize that while the Russian government has very different policies than the U.S. in dealing with political enemies, the U.S. and other governments engage in similar behavior. Basically, it’s a dog eat dog world, and we are all wolves.

MAGGIE, SHE WROTE

Drop the abortion ﬁght Iowa caucus could be a A different stage fright game changer

A grand jury from Harris County, Texas, delivered its indictments in the state’s case against Planned Parenthood last Monday. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott called for an investigation of the health services provider after the Center for Medical Progress published videos depicting Planned Parenthood executives illegally selling tissue from aborted fetuses. Despite conclusive evidence the videos were edited to falsely portray the actions of Planned Parenthood, the Republican biblical literalists clung to the validity of these videos as steadfastly as they do to the notion that the Earth is 6,000 years old. However, in a laughably ironic twist, the grand jury chose to indict not Planned Parenthood, but the two individuals responsible for producing these videos. Because they created a fake human-tissue company and secretly recorded Planned Parenthood workers, David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt were indicted on a felony charge of tampering with a governmental record and Daleiden received an additional misdemeanor indictment for the purchase and sale of human organs, as reported by Sarah Begley of Time Magazine. To that I say, amen. Of our elected officials and of the general population, I ask, can we drop this now, please? The answer seems to be a resounding no. Gov. Abbott took to Twitter following Monday’s ruling. “Despite today’s decision in Harris Co. about Planned Parenthood, Texas will continue to protect life & investigate @PPact practices.” USA Today reported Rep. Diane Black, R-Tenn., saying the indictments were a “miscarriage of justice” and that they “will not deter our efforts in Congress to hold Planned Parenthood accountable.” But what will the state of

THERIN SHOWALTER is a sophomore in media studies.

Texas waste more taxpayer money on investigating? Do our elected officials have absolutely no trust in the justice system? Only if it doesn’t serve their political agenda. This infuriates me. A Texas jury, which I suspect would be the best jury by which to push a conservative agenda, found Planned Parenthood innocent. Republicans aren’t interested in indicting Planned Parenthood legally if they intend to pursue this matter after a fair, unbiased jury delivered their verdict. Are they hell-bent on forcing their religious ideals into a secular government and its laws? Must they insist on enforcing the “law of God” on millions of people that don’t even believe in him? I bet I can find more Bible verses of God sanctioning the murder of unborn children than God claiming that life begins at conception. In Numbers 5:11-22, God instructs priests to use cursed water to abort children conceived in infidelity. Hosea 13:16 says that, as punishment for the unrighteous people of Samaria, “their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open.” I can’t find a single verse that affirms life beginning at conception. I can’t find an instance where God grants fetuses the same protections as living, breathing humans. So why do we continue pursuing this? The justice system has spoken. The theology behind the pro-life movement is inconclusive, at best. We should just let Planned Parenthood be and focus on real criminals. thshowal@indiana.edu @TherinShowalter

On Feb. 1, 2016, voters across Iowa will head to their polling places and cast their votes in the first primary election of this election cycle. At the moment, Donald Trump is the frontrunner for the Republicans, while the Democrat frontrunner remains uncertain. A Quinnipiac poll conducted Tuesday, Jan. 26, stated Trump edges out Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, by two points. A Fox News poll conducted on Monday, Jan. 25, stated Hillary Clinton edges out Sen. Bernie Sanders, D-Vt., by six points. But a poll conducted by the American Research Group on Jan. 25, stated Sanders led Clinton by three points. I think this will make for a very exciting Monday. For the Republicans, there is another debate Thursday evening, which could be vital for every candidate. However, Trump, the Iowa and national frontrunner, stated he will not take part in Thursday’s debate due to his repeated criticism of Fox News’ Megyn Kelly. This creates a very interesting dynamic for the final week before the caucus. Although Trump is the front-runner in the caucus, his lead looks to be slim. It must be noted Cruz was the front runner in Iowa for weeks before Trump recently swooped in. The Washington Post has attributed Trump’s absence from the debate as a response to the choice of Megyn Kelly as moderator. He claims that she has “treated him unfairly” following the Republican debate in August. This childish approach to dealing with Megyn Kelly, could really hurt his polling numbers and al-

low other candidates to increase their numbers. Meanwhile, the Democrats have had an equally interesting week leading up to the caucus. Clinton, Sanders and Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley all sat down for a town hall meeting, rather than a debate, to discuss ideas and issues. Sanders attacked Clinton’s voting record, while Clinton claimed that she was a proven fighter. With the results still up in the air, who knows how Monday’s vote will pan out. Aside from being interesting, these results will shape the course of the election. On the Republican side, the past two winners, Rick Santorum in 2012 and Mike Huckabee in 2008, both fell out of the race after winning the caucus. On the Democrat side, Obama won the 2012 and 2008 editions. This election cycle is far from normal. I believe that the 2016 edition of the Iowa Caucus will be more telling than the past two editions. Due to the unusual nature of this cycle, who knows what effect the caucus will have? All candidates will be vying for good numbers as they attempt to stay relevant. As the elections heat up, I know I will be following the results of these primary elections like a hawk. One can only hope that their candidate receives the nod come July. I cannot be more excited to begin that journey next week. staranyi@indiana.edu

One of the first things I learned about performing improvisational comedy is “Yes, and.” In order to succeed in this type of performance, you agree and commit to what happens in your scene. You build onto the world in which that scene takes place. The second thing you learn is to trust your scene partners. Not only are they building the world with you, but they should be there to help you if something goes wrong. However, for women in comedy, it is increasingly hard to trust that something won’t go wrong. Last year, women in the comedy scene in Los Angeles started breaking the silence about being victims of harassment and abuse. Beth Stelling, a comic in L.A., came out late December about having been abused sexually, physically and verbally by another comic. Shortly after, Courtney Pauroso, also a comedian in L.A., came forward about having been abused by the same man. Women have filed complaints against abusers, including repeat offenders, for years, according to story run by BuzzFeed News. Not all of the complaints are for the same thing. Some were physically abused while others were victims to creepy

come-ons, harassments via Facebook message or inappropriate scenes in which they had to “yes, and.” Many women who made reports said it affected their opportunities. They avoided certain auditions, classes and theaters for fear of seeing “that guy.” The breach of trust and discomfort are disturbing. As an improviser or creator of any type of collaborative art, it is important your ideas, and your body, are respected by anyone with whom you choose to create. Women have been the butt of jokes on the belief “women aren’t funny.” The sexism, abuse and harassment pressure their performances. Do they worry if their scene partner is going to put them in an uncomfortable position? Is the show-runner at a theater watching them perform while formulating a dirty text message to send them later? Getting on stage is hard. Anyone of any gender should feel safe, supported and respected when they perform. meickhof@indiana.edu @maggie_eickhoff

Former IU soccer player and assistant coach Caleb Porter signed a new contract with the Portland Timbers on Wednesday. The club announced a long-term contract extension, keeping Porter as the coach of the Timbers for the foreseeable future.

WRESTLING

Former Army wrestler, football player now at IU By Ryan Schuld rschuld@indiana.edu | @rschuld

Hoosier wrestling added a heavyweight transfer from the United States Military Academy West Point. Transfer Cole Jones began wrestling in kindergarten, but did not know he wanted to pursue the college ranks until much later in his career. “My junior year of high school, I really fell in love with wrestling,” Jones said. “I started caring more about the sport, and I saw a little success. That made me want to continue getting better.” Jones used that desire to continue getting better, and had a lot of success his senior season. Jones went 41-0 his senior season and went on to win the state championship. Overall, he finished 159-34 with two state championship appearances. Jones initially enrolled at West Point to play football. He later withdrew from the team to wrestle for the Black Knights. Even though he was only there for a semester, he said he has memories, both good and bad, that will be with him forever. Jones said his favorite time at West Point was when he was a part of the wrestling team, and how he made some great friends in the process. But he also found it challenging to manage everything that came with being an athlete at West Point, he said. “It was extremely difficult,” Jones said. “You don’t really manage it, you just go through the motions. That was the thing about Army, it was extremely hard to manage everything.” Army and Navy football players are often mentioned as the most disciplined athletes around, and Jones said basic training is a big part

of instilling that discipline in the players and all other military academy students. Jones said he believes Army is different than any other school for many reasons, but one sticks out more than the rest. “It’s a military school, people are going there to serve the nation,” Jones said. “They’re going to give their lives for the nation, it’s unlike any other college.” Jones decided it was time to open a new chapter in his life when he realized he wanted to find himself again. He added he was not his normal self at West Point and wanted to be closer to home. Jones said he knew there was only one place he could go after Army. “IU was it,” he said. “It’s a great school, it’s Big Ten wrestling and the location is great for me.” IU Coach Duane Goldman and the rest of the coaching staff are happy to have him, and Goldman said he knows there is a big transition taking place to get Jones ready for next season. “Prior to that he was in high school, so he basically stepped in second semester still just removed from a high school room,” Goldman said. “There are some growing pains, and I think he’s going through those right now.” Jones agrees it is a tough transition. He said getting back in shape and learning the differences in how Army and IU do things are the hardest parts because right now, it’s all new to him. This tough transition will pass with more time to get acclimated and to get back in wrestling shape. Once that time passes, Jones said he will be ready and excited. “Very excited,” Jones said. “I can’t wait to get back on the mat and compete.”

SWIM AND DIVE

Team recognized for achievements in the classroom By Hailey Hernandez hmhernan@indiana.edu @hmhernandez10

The IU swimming and diving team has a reputation as a leading program in the pool. The men are currently ranked in the Coaches Association as No. 9 in Division I, with the women at No. 12. But on Wednesday, the program recorded a second distinction for itself as a leading program in the classroom as well. The College Swimming Coaches Association of America recognized both the men and women’s squads as Scholar All-America Teams. In order to receive this distinction, teams must have an average 3.0 GPA or higher for the fall semester. “We are so very proud to stand for both outstanding academics as well as worldclass swimming and diving at Indiana,” IU Coach Ray Looze said in an IU Athletics press release. “Such accomplishments are never taken lightly coming from such an elite level institution of higher education such as IU. This is a testament to the type of high level people on our Hoosier squads.” As the teams take on this semester of athletic and academic challenges, they are not letting up on the gas pedal, and they are looking forward to getting faster, Looze said. The team will travel to Louisville, Kentucky, to com-

pete in its last dual meet of the 2015-16 season Friday. This is a milestone for the team because it signifies the true beginning of championship season. “Louisville is really good,” Looze said. “They’re even better at home. They bring in their band and they are a very good dual meet team. They bring in extra stuff to get prepared for dual meets so our swimmers know what’s coming up.” The Louisville men are ranked No. 10 and the women are ranked No. 9, right in the mix with IU in the pool of top NCAA teams. “This will be where we finalize our competitive lists and the orders of dives we’re going to use,” IU Coach Drew Johansen said. “Then it’s time to get prepared for Big Tens after that. Right now, less is more. In the end it only comes down to six dives.” In practice this week, the divers have been using different training styles to practice dives in a competitive setting. They have been going head-to-head against each other. At this point in the season, fewer reps mean the divers are learning they have to do what they can to make each dive count, Johansen said. “It will be one of our more challenging dual meets so if we can go down there and get a win, I would be really proud of these guys,” Looze said. “That’s what I expect them to do.”

The Timbers did not disclose the exact length or terms of the contract, per league policy. Porter and the Timbers won the MLS Cup in December, in Porter’s third year with the club and Timbers fifth year as a franchise.

IU defense helps beat Rutgers By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu @trlehmanIDS

Entering Wednesday night’s home game against Rutgers, IU had only kept one team below 50 points during the 2015-16 season. The season before that, it only kept three teams below 50 points. But Rutgers, who averaged 60.9 points per game this season, shot just 36 percent from the field for 48 points on the scoreboard. This defense helped IU improve its home record to 9-0 in a 64-48 win against Rutgers. “I’m a defensive-minded coach,” IU Coach Teri Moren said. “Our kids have really bought into it. Defense has been the reason we’ve won close games, and defense is the reason we won tonight.” After returning from Evanston, Illinois, and the first Big Ten road win of the season against No. 20 Northwestern, IU wanted to reduce the number of points the opponents were scoring. The Wildcats put up 84 and no Big Ten team had scored fewer than 63 against the Hoosiers before Wednesday. That effort started with the zone defense, which Moren implemented against the Scarlet Knights. The shift in strategy helped limit their leading scorer, junior guard Tyler Scaife, to just 3-of-13 shooting. Rutgers only managed to shoot 18-of-50 from the field as a team. Moren said it’s imperative that players on the bench, such as freshman forward Kym Royster and sophomore guard Jess Walter, learn the rotations of the defense in order to substitute players who play big minutes. Moren used Royster as an example in the postgame press conference, saying though her performance may not show up on the stat sheet, her 13 minutes played

a significant role in what the Hoosiers were looking for on defense. “We have to be able to switch from man-to-man to zone,” Moren said. “We’ve shown that we can play man, now we’re showing that we can play zone. I think our kids are starting to become more comfortable with zone.” Moren also said she stressed transition defense and boxing out in the post, something the Hoosiers have struggled with all season, as they were outrebounded 4336 by Northwestern and have only outrebounded Michigan in Big Ten play. With Rutgers centers 6-foot-4 senior Rachel Hollivay and 6-foot-3 senior Ariel Butts, boxing out would be no easy task.

“Going into the game we were talking about how much bigger they were than us and how much more athletic they were,” sophomore forward Amanda Cahill said. “We knew we had to play a solid game.” IU managed 11 more rebounds than Rutgers, led by Cahill and sophomore guard Tyra Buss’ seven rebounds each. Four Hoosiers tallied at least six, while only two Rutgers players managed at least six rebounds. Rutgers also scored just two fast break points, while the Hoosiers scored eight and turned 14 Rutgers turnovers into 16 points. “Give the kids credit,” Moren said. “They stuck to the gameplan, and I think, more importantly, [Rutgers]

only had two offensive rebounds in the first half, so that was crucial.” Even after holding the Scarlet Knights to just 17 firsthalf points, the Hoosiers allowed the Knights to ignite a 14-4 run in the third quarter and were outscored 21-14 in the quarter. But IU bounced back with another low-scoring quarter, limiting Rutgers to 10 points and scoring 19 of its own and pushing IU to its best record (5-4) through nine Big Ten games since the 2009-2010 season. “You can’t get onto offense if you don’t play defense,” junior guard Karlee McBride said. “We take a lot of pride in that. It’s definitely a good feeling to know that we won with our defense.”

But even though “Super RFRA” was killed for the current legislative session, the Freedom Indiana rally was still on for 12:15. The group’s work was not done, faith leader Jeff Bower said. Still on the docket for the day was the committee hearing of Senate Bill 100 and Senate Bill 344, two other bills the LGBT community finds problematic. And the concern isn’t limited to those bills, either. Donna Kordes, a 64-year-old transgender woman from Indianapolis, said she feels threatened by more than just the bills on Wednesday’s agenda.

The first forensic pathologist failed to examine Smedley’s back in the initial autopsy, according the complaint. The complaint stated that hemorrhages were found in the second autopsy that “could be consistent with someone pressing down on his back while he drowned.” While Sozio said trauma was found in his examination, he said the complaint’s statement is “one of many possible scenarios,” and that he has not yet been able to determine a source or cause of this trauma. Sozio said he has been unable to complete his examination because he has

It’s a bill that says school restrooms must be designated for either men or women and “may be used only by the students of the biological gender for which the facility is designated.” As she stood in the 11-person prayer circle, sweat dripped down Kordes’ face. She spoke softly about how she’s always felt different, and how after 10 years of working hard for transgender rights, she was scared those rights would now be taken away. “You’re not different,” a woman named Becke Bolinger interrupted her. “You’re exactly the same. We are the same.” After the initial prayer circle, Kordes and Bolinger embraced and walked away hand-in-hand. There was time to socialize and mingle before the next prayer circle. Many supporters had never met before, and they spent time

sharing stories. It was shortly after the group began its second prayer circle at around 9:15 a.m. that SB 66 was shut down in committee. And again, around 11, prayer began, but this time, the circle had grown to 21 members. “We shall all be free, we shall all be free, we shall all be free, someday,” they sang. When it was time for the rally to start, more than 100 LGBT supporters were crowded under the Rotunda. Chris Paulsen, campaign manager of Freedom Indiana, began the rally with a short speech. “Let’s move Indiana forward in the eyes of the world and make this state great again,” she said. Surrounding her were people wearing stickers and holding up signs that said “Liberty for all Hoosiers” and “It’s time for statewide LGBT non-discrimination.” Several others spoke, in-

cluding an LGBT-supporting business owner and a transgender woman. The last speaker was an 18-year-old student named Evan Stoner. He was bullied in middle school, he

said, because his classmates didn’t like the way he talked. The bullying escalated to the point that a classmate once shoved Stoner against a locker, threatening to kill him. Hate isn’t a Hoosier val-

distraction. He said the risk of discrimination can be solved by including LGBT groups in Indiana’s civil rights laws. “No Indiana business is against religious freedom or the ability to freely exercise religion. That’s already protected,” Hanscom said. “The true problem here is that people woke up and realized, in the year 2016, in the state of In-

diana, you can get fired from your job for being LGBT.” In March 2015, the state received national backlash when it voted RFRA into law because the bill did not prohibit businesses from using religious objection to discriminate against LGBT groups. A month later, legislators amended the bill to include these protections for LGBT

groups. However, authors of the SB 66 did not include these safeguards. The bill’s extended protections to the freedom of speech and the right to bear arms is unprecedented, said Daniel Conkle, Robert H. McKinney professor of law at IU Maurer School of Law. He said he is unsure as to how the law would be applied

to regulate these rights. Curt Smith, president of the biblical non-profit lobbying group Indiana Family Institute, said he was disappointed by the committee’s decision to kill SB 66, but could see the action as a way of getting more votes for LGBT-specific legislation. “It’s a fresh and novel idea,” Smith said in reference

to SB 66. Despite the concerns organizations have expressed regarding the bills, Smith said the ambiguity of SB 66 is a better option than controlling legislation. “I think we ought to affirm freedom for our founding values,” Smith said. “Freedom is messy, but its better than all the alternatives.”

not been able to obtain more specific details of the case from BPD. Sozio attempted to reach out to BPD to request access to interviews, police reports and photography to complete his autopsy. However, Sozio said he was told it was against BPD policy to release such information. Until such information has been made public, Sozio said he could only list Smedley’s cause of death as undetermined, but that he could wait as long as Brown chooses to make this his final determination. Without details from BPD, Brown said her next step would be to file a subpoena for the release of information that could assist in Sozio’s

report; a process Sozio said could be lengthy and expensive. Sozio said he understands both sides, that Brown is searching for answers and that BPD is sticking to department protocol. At the time of publication, no representatives from BPD responded to requests for comment. Brown encouraged friends and family not to give up on the case. “Keep having faith and don’t stop talking about Joseph,” Brown said. “Keep asking questions. The police department’s trying really hard to shut this whole situation down and I know that we’re not going to let that happen.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 the Hoosiers held their opponent to under 50 points and won. Likewise, in many games this season, IU closed out the game in dominating fashion. Rutgers shot just 4-of-15 from the field in the final frame. “It’s definitely a good feeling to know that we’re actually getting better at defense,” McBride said. “We’re getting stops and that’s the most important part. You can’t go on offense if you don’t play defense. We really take pride in that and we’ve bought into coach’s system.” Multiple Hoosiers were not able to shoot at a high percentage against the

Scarlet Knights — junior guard Alexis Gassion was just 1-of-10 from the floor, while sophomore guard Jess Walter and junior center Jenn Anderson combined for an 0-of6 performance from the field. Buss paced her team through rough patches against Rutgers. For the 10th time this year, the 5-foot-8 point guard scored over 20 points in a game. Buss was 4-of-7 from 3-point range and converted all eight of her free throws. “My teammates got me open and I was feeling it a little there,” Buss said of her 3-pointers. “I think I hit couple in a row. My teammates got me open looks and I was just knocking them down for them.”

After a come-from-behind victory vs. Illinois last week and its first conference road win in 18 games against No. 20 Northwestern on Sunday, the Hoosiers are riding a three-game win streak for the first time in Big Ten play. Wednesday’s win solidified IU’s position in the Big Ten standings, as the Hoosiers sit in seventh with nine games to play. IU travels to second-place Maryland Saturday afternoon. “I hope that they’re a confident group,” Moren said. “We’ve worked extremely hard. There have been some peaks and valleys, for sure. If you ask them, there’s two in my mind that we think we gave away. The past is the past and we move forward.”

A NEW SOUND Looking into the world of podcasts, and what you should know about audio storytelling eekend sat down with Matt Bloom, a senior in journalism at IU and executive producer of American Student Radio, about what makes audio storytelling different and his experience with podcasts. Bloom has worked as a reporter for the Indiana Daily Student in the past.

What is American Student Radio? We are a group of 2,000 producers who make a one-hour narrative storytelling program every Sunday at noon, and we rotate the host each week. The host gets to pick a theme, and every story in that episode has to relate to the theme somehow. It’s a student-produced podcast, focusing on narrative storytelling. What do you do for it, in terms of “Matt Tries Things?” “Matt Tries Things” is this ridiculous idea I thought of because I was super bored, and I was thinking about life after graduation and how I don’t want it

to be boring. My commitment to myself this semester was trying something new every week and then tell the story on American Student Radio. It’s just me dragging a friend along to go try something new every week. So this week I’m going to a medium, because our show’s theme is spirituality and religion, so the name will be “Matt Tries to Reach the Dead.” My friend in the first episode said she doesn’t think people make enough small goals for themselves, and we only see people who are 30 and are super successful. For people who are our age, we don’t necessarily value the little things that we do. So I knew that was such a good, deep thought, but on the surface it’s just funny storytelling of me embarrassing myself. The first episode is me trying lobster for the first time, so it’s just me tearing the body apart full-on. It’s so embarrassing, but I’d never done it before and it made me think differently about the way I eat. What do you like about audio storytelling? How I’m talking to you right now, that’s what it feels like. From a producer stand point, I can sit down and tell you the story how I would tell it to

you, as a friend. I think that’s more entertaining, and more informative to you, in the end. As a listener, I think you pay more attention when you hear somebody’s voice speaking to you, instead of reading. I could go into a million other reasons, but that is the main reason. You listen more. What are your favorite podcasts besides American Student Radio? Definitely “Mortified,” which is people getting up on stage and telling really embarrassing stories about themselves from when they were kids. As far as a more serious, storytelling one, one called “Snap Judgment,” which does first person, really well-produced stories. And “Reply All,” about the internet, which is hilarious and thoughtprovoking and relevant and funny all at the same time. Is there anything else you want to say about American Student Radio? It’s so new that we aren’t even sure week-to-week what it’s going to sound like, and that’s why it’s so cool. It feels new and it feels exciting, and I can tell that the people here are super nerdy and care about it a lot, which is a good thing.

5 podcasts we love listening to (in no particular order) 1

Mystery Show

Just exactly how tall is Jake Gyllenhaal? For months this was a heavily debated measurement on online celebrity height databases. That is, until Starlee Kine, host of “Mystery Show,” stepped in and got to the bottom of it. In each episode of the podcast, Starlee takes on a case like this one. They can range anywhere from puzzling scenes depicted on vintage lunchboxes, to the details of Britney Spears’ reading list. The one thing they all have in common, however, is that their answer cannot be found simply by Googling. Season one of “Mystery Show” can be found on Gimlet Media’s website, and season two is currently in the works.

Welcome to Nightvale

Creators Joseph Fink and Jeffrey Cranor seem to understand that there is no “normal” — just behaviors or characteristics that are more prevalent than others. After a few episodes of “Welcome to Nightvale,” specific actions and names start to matter less, and universal truths about fear, hope and individuality start to come through. Which makes the news from the terrifyingly corporate town of Desert Bluffs even more bizarre in comparison. Turn on your radio and hide.

Doug Loves Movies

This American Life

First airing in 1995, “This American Life” is a weekly hour-long radio program produced by WBEZ and hosted by Ira Glass (a.k.a. America’s radio sweetheart). Since 2006, the program has offered listeners a free podcast version, which becomes available the Monday Each episode features comedians talking about movies and playing movie following the national broadcast. Each week the show has a theme. trivia games. It is easy and fun to play along with the games, such as Last Man In its 20 years, “This American Life” Stanton and the Leonard Maltin Game, has explored everything from doppelgängers to game shows to shark as you listen. bites.

It is recorded in front of a live audience consisting of passionate fans.

spontaneity to “DLM.” Benson has had great guests on the show, like Jon Hamm and Patton Oswalt. Listening to “DLM” is 90-minutes well spent.

We can’t recommend “This American Life” enough. With every episode, you are reminded of how extraordinary life can be. If you don’t already listen to it, you really should be.

Lore

“Lore,” from writer, host and producer Aaron Mahnke, is the perfect combination of history and mystery. Each episode of the biweekly podcast revolves around a historical element of folklore. No matter the topic, Mahnke weaves a story so engrossing and thrilling that you don’t want to stop listening. Start with “Unboxed,” one of the creepiest episodes about the true story behind the new horror movie “The Boy.” Each episode is perfectly produced, easy to listen to and guaranteed to give you something chilling to think about for the rest of the day.

Living life in London, England

GREG GOTTFRIED | IDS

The sun sets behind Big Ben in London, where former Weekend Editor Greg Gottfried is studying this semester.

t’s a gaudy building. That’s the first thing I realize. In the middle of London, blocks away from King’s Cross Station, stands this behemoth double-digit highrise that blends in like Denzel Washington at the Oscars. Here, I’m supposed to meet with Greg Gottfried: junior at IU, washedup Weekend section editor and student studying abroad in England. I already know what he looks like, because I too am Greg Gottfried. The Indiana Daily Student doesn’t actually have the money to send another student across the pond for a one-off interview, so Greg will perform both parts of this Q&A. As I get in the elevator and push the button to the 11th floor, where he told me to meet him, I’m anxious. He stands there as the doors open, shakes my hand and walks me over to his place, 11.44. He has a spectacular view of London, but also a room the size of a single freshman dorm. Greg awaits the first question. Editor’s Note: This interview has been shortened because Greg likes to talk a lot about himself and he’s not important enough to have 1500 words. So...uh, how’s London? Really, that’s your first question. Goddamn, they couldn’t have sent someone good. (He sighs)

London’s great. There’s a lot to do. I’ve only been here three weeks, but I’ve gone to some clubs, done the touristy stuff and eaten at some exquisite establishments, like McDonald’s. Oh, that’s cool. Can you elaborate on touristy stuff? Sure. I went to Big Ben, took a boat ride on the Thames, checked out the British Museum and made some puns about mummies. You know, the normal things. It’s been the random, out-of-the-way stuff that’s been better though. Walking through Oxford Circus — not a real circus by the way, which is bullshit — I happened upon a hotel called Sanderson’s that looked like it was pulled out an art-deco poster. Also, a bunch of us found this dessert place in seemingly the middle of nowhere, which would give the Chocolate Moose a run for its money. How are classes and schoolwork? Not too bad actually, knock on wood. The classes are long, two and a half hours each, but they’re pretty interesting. I have a class on Shakespeare and for one of my film classes I have to watch a movie nominated for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards by the next time we meet. All you have to do is watch a movie? Yup.

I don’t, but we’ll let that go. We’re reaching the end of our time, so I’m gonna end with a bit of an obscure question. Were there any issues regarding condiments at Heathrow Airport customs?

So, you can drink now. What’s that like? It’s a nice thing to have, sure, but I don’t think any of us are idiots about it. Ordering a beer with food or being able to go to pubs is just a normal thing here, so no one has gone too nuts...yet. You kind of mentioned this before, but how are the clubs? This is going to surprise you, but the clubs are fun. We found this place called the Mason House, which was playing Outkast and Bieber, so you know that’s great. Drinks were also cheap the night we went, which is important. There’s also this karaoke place called Zoo that turns into a dance party. I’m always down for a dance party. Of course. Me too. Did you sing? Nah. Not yet. I had to see how everyone else was first before I go out there and knock Gwen Stefani’s “Sweet Escape” out of the park. Anyone good? There was this old guy that sang Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs,” which was simultaneously the creepiest and funniest thing I’ve ever seen. Also, there was this one woman who rocked Beyoncé’s “Halo”. I’m not saying she was better than Beyoncé, but I’m also not saying she wasn’t. You get the picture.

Wow, that’s a specific question, and also a great one. Yeah. There was this woman screaming and cursing at the security guards, who wouldn’t let her bring a large jar of mustard through customs. What? Surely she was alone, right? Nope, she had two little kids with her, listening to her berate some guy whose job it was to keep everyone safe and calm. American? Was there ever any doubt? And no, she didn’t get the mustard through. She eventually gave up and stormed through, causing a scene while the security laughed at her once she disappeared through the door. Great stuff. Thanks for sitting down with me. I’m glad that we had this oppor— (Roommate wakes up) “Hey, Greg. Stop talking to yourself.

Members of Dietrich Jon, a local band from Bloomington, perform during Culture Shock Music Festival hosted by WIUX on April 10, 2015.

Rock band to play Thursday By James Freeborn jrfreebo@indiana.edu | @J_Freeborn

Diederik van Wassenaer grew up in Amsterdam playing the violin and listening to classical music. At 9 p.m. tonight, his rock ’n’ roll band, Dietrich Jon, will play a show at the Back Door on South College Avenue. “I never really got along with other string players that much,” he said. “I got along with people that played punk.” Van Wassenaer said he started Dietrich Jon as a solo project after he graduated from IU in 2013. Since then, some band members have come and gone, he said, but the group has remained a five-piece for almost a year with van Wassenaer as its violin player, singer and guitarist. “Everything we’ve come

up with as a group, collectively, has been better than something I could come up with on my own,” he said. Drummer Mark Edlin said he agreed the band works best as a unit. Edlin and van Wassenaer said they first met when they both performed at the IU Soul Revue. The two started playing together in a bluegrass group called the Underhills that every current member of Dietrich Jon has played with at one time, they said. Van Wassenaer said involvement in the Underhills and his personal interest in David Bowie have played a significant role in the sound of Dietrich Jon. “There’s an element of glam, and there’s definitely a folk element or an Americana element,” van Wassenaer said. The band’s Facebook

page classifies them as “glamericana,” though both van Wassenaer and Edlin said they’re not quite sure what that means. “I think I was just trying to be a smartass,” van Wassenaer said. Edlin said the genre of Dietrich Jon has developed over time as band members add effects pedals to their guitars and listen to music from other bands. Personally, he said, he gets a lot of inspiration from the rock group White Denim and metal-rockers Mastodon. Edlin’s high school classmate and Dietrich Jon’s lead guitarist, Austin Davis, said he’s been really into Kendrick Lamar lately. Meanwhile, van Wassenaer has been listening to lyrically driven rock artists like Courtney Barnett, he said. “Everyone’s taste is

different,” Edlin said. Van Wassenaer has been trying to develop his songwriting lyrically by telling a story, but admits the hardest thing for him is lyrics. The group has been working on their first full-length album, tracking in an art gallery-turned-recording studio beneath the Back Door. The band plans to start a tour once the album comes out in the spring but will likely keep it within the Midwest, he said. “My aspiration for this group is to be, at the core of it, a Bloomington band,” he said. Van Wassenaer said the band really enjoys the vibrant arts community in Bloomington, especially because musicians are welcome to post fliers all over town without a problem. “This is the place to be,” he said.

Literature plays a huge role in any person’s life who has the privilege of growing up in a place where education from an early age is considered necessary. Reading is a skill children start learning before almost any other, and it obviously lays a foundation crucial for any further education. While reading is important, the content we read as kids is just as important. This month, Scholastic Press announced it would stop publication of “A Birthday Cake for George Washington” by Ramin Ganeshram on the grounds that it misrepresents the lives of slaves during this time period. The book portrays slaves as happy instead of accurately showing the evils of slavery. The Scholastic press release stated, “Scholastic has a long history of explaining complex and controversial issues to children at all ages and grade levels.” This raises the question of where to draw the line between reality and age-appropriateness when teaching children about an important, but difficult subject. The line between literature as an art and literature as an informative work can be easily muddled. While I am a firm believer that you can learn from any piece of literature, no matter the subject, it is also imperative a reader realizes that it is also a work of art – something often written with the intention of revealing a truth, but not necessarily rooted in truth. This can be obvious to most adults, especially with pieces that do not aim to document some part of

history. Children often aren’t fully aware of the historical context and accuracy of a book. Critics point out that calling “Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl” an uplifting tale wipes away the entire point of the work in the first place, which is to expose the reality of life as a Jew in hiding during World War II. The book has been transformed into an uplifting story over time through theater and film adaptions. What remains is the fact that while children may not be ready to face some of the facts of history head on at such a young age, it doesn’t mean they can’t learn the simple truth about them from the start. Sugarcoating helps no one. Making history a little nicer or easier to swallow only does future citizens of the world a disservice. Not only does it plant the seed of falsehood, but it also requires them to relearn the facts later in life. Scholastic made the right move when discontinuing “A Birthday Cake for George Washington,” and hopefully it causes other authors and publishers to take a closer look at the information they feed children. The spread of misinformation on issues like slavery and the Holocaust put the world in direct threat of repeating history and creating new generations of people unaware and uninformed about its past. rarosens@indiana.edu @rachrosenstock

IU groups to sing at Varsity Vocals By Maia Rabenold mrabenol@indiana.edu | @maialyra

None of the current members of Ladies First, IU’s only all-women a cappella group, have competed in the Varsity Vocals International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella before. The 11 singers will be performing in the ICCA Midwest Quarterfinal at 7 p.m. Jan. 30, at the IU Auditorium. Their competition for one of the two groups who will move on to semifinals in April includes 6 groups from Notre Dame, Ball State and Miami University, as well as IU’s own Hooshir and Crimson Cadence. “We all wanted to do it, it’s a lot of fun,” Ladies First music director Ashley Kozanda said. “It’s cool to see what other groups are performing and how they run their set. We just want to go out there and have fun and see what happens.” The website calls the competition “real-life ‘Pitch Perfect’”. It usually draws about 250 groups from all around the world each year, Varsity Vocals Midwest coordinator Leah Alrutz said. There is no cash prize for the winner, but the groups will be vying for the prestigious Gooding Cup. The Cup was designed and hand-crafted by the maker

of the Grammy Awards and is named for the former owners of Varsity Vocals. “I think it takes a lot of talent to be able to sing without instruments,” Alrutz said. “It brings your group close together, and it’s just a unique, fun way of singing.” It takes a little more than just singing to make it in the ICCA’s, Kozanda said. Sound always comes first, but each group has to be visually interesting to move forward, with choreography and formation changes a nd, of course, costumes, she said. Ladies First will be performing “Love Me Like You

Do,” by Ellie Goulding, “The Chain,” by Ingrid Michaelson and “Use Somebody,” by Kings of Leon. Each song was arranged for a cappella by previous or current members of Ladies First. “We’re pretty confident with our sound,” Kozanda said. “We’ve worked really hard, and we sang these songs last semester too. We’ve put in a lot of rehearsal time and a lot of hard work into the details of the songs.” The group practices at least three days per week, not including local gigs or special events. Their two main shows are a fall show

and a spring show, Kozanda said. The spring show will happen in April. Kozanda said what she enjoys about Ladies First is how much talent all of the girls have. Each year, their sound changes as old members graduate and new members join, and each time is a new opportunity to grow musically, she said. “You’re taking music that has so many different instruments and a bass line and drums and it all has to come from your voice,” Kozanda said. “Trying to imitate those sounds and making it your own is challenging, but it’s so rewarding.”

Concert to feature music and poetry From IDS reports

Poetry and music will combine at the BuskirkChumley Theater’s “Poetic License.” The concert involves a collaboration between the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra and the Writers Guild of Bloomington. Bloomington Symphony Orchestra will perform four pieces at the concert. Poets from the Writers Guild will read an original

poem before each musical performance, according to the Writers Guild website. The concert is a “marriage of music and poetry,” according to the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra press release. The repertoire includes Felix Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March” from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Romance No. 2,” Samuel Barber’s “Second Essay” and Franz Liszt’s “Les Pre-

ludes.” According to the release, the Beethoven work is “a tender piece that beautifully showcases the lyricism of the violin.” Barber’s piece reflects his love of the written word, and Liszt’s piece is “a dazzling, free-flowing tone poem, full of beautiful textures and colors.” Audience members can also celebrate Valentine’s Day by having a message printed in the concert’s

program, according to the release. The event is 7:30 p.m. Feb. 13. Doors will open at 7 p.m. General admission is $15 in advance and $18 at the door. For students with ID, admission is $8 in advance and $10 at the door. Admission is free for children 16 and under. Tickets are required. Brooke McAfee

Put this ‘Dirty Grandpa’ in the ground This journey to pay homage to his late wife soon becomes a sexcursion as Dick pressures Jason into detouring to Daytona Beach in his pursuit to have sex with a foul-mouthed college student played by Aubrey Plaza. There’s nothing about this film that stands out as unusual. Grandpa trying to reclaim his youth? De Niro’s already done that in 2013’s “Last Vegas.” Rowdy, partying college students? May I redirect you to “Van Wilder,” “21 and Over” or Efron’s own “Neighbors” just to name a few. The characters don’t diverge from the ordinary, either. Efron’s character is pretty standard — the young man who has been pressured into living his life to meet the expectations of others. He’s stale and boring. Julianne Hough as Meredith, Jason’s fiancée, is the typical shallow, selfabsorbed rich girl and stands no chance for the audience’s favor when we meet Jason’s old classmate, Shadia. Shadia is “different.” She’s a free spirit who likes to party, and she’s a photographer because you can’t be “different” if you don’t have some kind of artistic talent. And let’s not forget her efforts to save the Earth because her activism is half of her appeal.

‘DIRTY GRANDPA’ Robert De Niro, Zac Efron

F I called bullshit on this movie when I first saw the trailer, and “Dirty Grandpa” did not disappoint. If anything, my expectations weren’t low enough to process the sheer amount of trash and toxic absurdity that steeped every millisecond of this 102-minute desperate act to prove writer John Phillips deserves a place in comedy. Membership revoked, sir. First, let’s dissect this piece of garbage. “Dirty Grandpa” stars Robert De Niro as Dick Kelly. A day after his wife’s funeral, he guilts his stickin-the-mud corporate lawyer grandson Jason, played by Zac Efron, into driving him to Florida. Though Jason is busy planning his wedding that’s just a week away, he agrees to escort his grandpa. It’s the perfect setup for a cheesy getting-to-knoweach-other-again flick. But it all turns to shit when Jason arrives at his grandpa’s house and finds the widower masturbating in his living room. Dick goes from a mourning elderly man to a crude, offensive pervert and it becomes exhausting before they even leave his house.
