Hoosiers move to 3-1 in Big Ten play

By Evan Hoopfer ehoopfer@indiana.edu | @EvanHoopfer

IU volleyball players compare themselves to different “Star Wars” characters and animals.

“A lot of us have animals or people in movies that we remind each other of,” sophomore setter Megan Tallman said. “Like spirit animals.”

For example, Allison Hammond is a camel.

Kyndall Merritt is an Ewok from “Star Wars.”

Courtney Harnish is Yoda, also from “Star Wars.”

This weekend, the Hoosiers (12-4, 3-1) went 2-0 in their east coast Big Ten swing. They defeated Maryland on Friday and Rutgers on Sunday.

Last season, IU went just 1-19 in the Big Ten. Through just four conference games, IU has already tripled its conference win total from a year ago.

IU played seven sets this weekend and lost only one of them.

The one it lost was a 33-31 marathon third set against Maryland.

IU came back to take the fourth set against the Terrapins and win the match Friday.

When the Hoosiers won their sets, they weren’t just skating by, either.

In the six sets IU won this weekend, it beat its opponent by an average of eight points per set, a large difference for Big Ten play.

The dominating play by IU culminated in the last set of the weekend against Rutgers when IU smashed the Scarlet Knights 25-10 in the third and final set.

If someone would have told Tallman before the season that IU would open up the conference season 3-1, she said she would not have been surprised.

In the holding room of the Beijing airport, Jewher Ilham had a choice to make. She could remain in China with her father — detained and barred from travel — or trek to the United States alone.

“You want to go?” her father, Ilham Tohti, asked in Uighur.

All of their plans came to a halt in that holding room. Jewher was to join her father for one month at IU, where he was going to be a visiting scholar for the 2014-15 school year.

She caught her father’s stare as the room waited in silence.

Again, the airport security woman asked her for a decision.

But before she could speak, her father replied for her.

“She will go.”

He turned to see a shocked

“At least one person in my family should be free,” he said to her.

Jewher was whisked to the boarding platform and put on a plane to Chicago. For the next 14 hours, it was just Jewher and her father’s empty seat. * * * Now in the United States, Jewher is attending classes at Ivy Tech and IU. In the spring, she will be a full-time freshman.

She decided to study jour-

nalism, in honor of the work her father did in China.

Before his arrest, Ilham Tohti was a prominent scholar and professor in Beijing.

He started the blog Uighur Online in 2006, meant to bridge the levels of understanding between two ethnic groups of China, the Uighurs and the Han Chinese.

The Uighurs are an ethnic minority group in China who speak a different language and practice different customs from the Han Chinese. The majority of Uighurs are Muslim and speak a Turk-based language, which uses a differ-

ent alphabet from the Chinese language.

Historically, the Chinese government has implemented an assimilationist policy toward the Uighurs, not allowing them to practice their religion or speak their language outside of certain areas.

Even now, Jewher remembers the way store owners would treat her after they found out she was Uighur, not giving her the same attention as other customers.

Cardinal Stage Co. Obama visits southern Ind. steel plant, discusses economy production teaches nutrition to children

By Emily Ernsberger emelerns@indiana.edu | @emilyernsberger

President Obama addressed workers at Millennium Steel in Princeton, Ind., on Friday to discuss the state of the economy during his presidency.

The hour-long speech and question-and-answer session came after a speech delivered at Northwestern University on Thursday, where he discussed the progress of the nation since the Great Recession.

With the sleeves of his collared shirt rolled up, the president discussed the growth of the economy, job gains and health care cost improvements since the Affordable Care Act’s enactment, a platform similar to that of his 2008 campaign.

“For a long time, it was China,” Obama said about business executives’ views on where to place money. “Today, they say the No. 1 place to invest is right here in the United States of America.”

The largest economic policy the president laid forward was his push for a raise in the minimum wage.

Many of the crowd’s questions regarded how minimum wage would affect workers, how companies can afford health care for their employees and how to diversify rural economies from depending on agriculture.

Obama urged for the minimum wage to be raised to $10.10 an hour, something he said would be one of the top factors in helping the economy grow. Indiana’s minimum wage is currently $7.25 an hour.

While he recognized that business may have a difficult time finding the means to pay employees

such a wage, competitive wages would foster competition between employers for workers.

“We have to, number one, make sure people have work, and number two, make sure those people are paid well,” he said.

He also urged for investment in manufacturing jobs, such as fixing national infrastructure and investing in community colleges to assist in workers’ education, as well as early childhood education.

Millennium Steel is a partner with Toyota’s manufacturers. It is a minority-owned business run by Henry Jackson.

The plant was recently ranked

by Black Enterprise Magazine as

one of the largest minority-owned businesses in the nation.

The president also launched a new competition earlier in the day Friday to invest more than $200 million to create an Integrated Photonics Manufacturing Institute. Photonics is the use of light to transmit information.

The address was scheduled on National Manufacturing Day, an event created three years ago to honor manufacturing workers, as well as showcase the manufacturing opportunities for the youth, the president said.

Cardinal Stage Company’s “The Birthday Feast” will run from Oct. 10 through Oct. 25 at the Ivy Tech John Waldron Arts Center Auditorium.

Randy White is the artistic director of Cardinal Stage Company and also the director of “The Birthday Feast,” an original musical by Scott Russell Sanders primarily aimed at kids and planned in accordance with IU’s Themester, “Eat, Drink, Think: Food from Art to Science.”

Actor Lola Kennedy said “The Birthday Feast,” written by Sanders, a former IU English professor and an award-winning author, promises something for everyone in the audience.

“We had been trying to find a play that fit with the Themester, but we couldn’t find one that fit,” White said. “So we said we would commission a play and we went to Scott and asked if he was interested to write a play about food and nutrition for kids. We then agreed that we wanted to have a play that had some important stuff to say but is still fun and entertaining.”

There are three characters in the play. Maddie, played by Kennedy, is the central character who wants to throw a feast for her mother’s birthday.

She ropes in her two friends, “Junk Food Jack” and Isabella, or “Healthy Food Bella.”

They go on a whirlwind adventure, from visiting the farmer’s

market to hunting in a backyard, trying everything in their power to conjure a special gift for Maddie’s mother.

Two IU students play “Junk Food Jack” and “Health Food Bella” — Matthew Weidenbener, who is working toward a bachelor of fine arts in musical theater, and Audrey Deinlein, a freshman majoring in theater.

“It’s a very funny play, and there’s going to be tremendous acting performances on the part of these actors,” Sanders said. “It also tells a touching story. In the very end they have a few minutes before the birthday celebration, and Maddie finally figures out the perfect gift and people have to come to the play to see what it is.”

For those familiar with Cardinal Stage, “The Birthday Feast” will feature a cast from their previous musicals, with the only new additions being Sanders and Alex Crowley, who is responsible for all the music in the play.

“We trust each other, and I think Scott and Alex have been great,” White said. “They’ve been working really hard and everybody just wants to do the best show possible.”

Cardinal Stage Company has been in Bloomington since 2006.

They have performed a myriad of musicals, ranging from kids’ plays like “Charlotte’s Web” to worldrenowned musicals like “Les Miserables,” which they performed last season.

Joyce Rogers, center, vice president for development and external relations for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs, addresses students at the 16th anniversary of the IU Asian Culture Center on Friday. She was joined on a panel by Martin McCrory, left, associate vice president for Diversity, Equity, and Multicultural Affairs, and Gloria Chan, right, an IU alumna.

Center celebrates sweet 16

By Neha Ramani nramani@indiana.edu | @Neha_Ramani

It was an overcast October day in 1998 when the Asian Culture Center opened after months of anticipation, ACC director Melanie Castillo-Cullather recalled.

The sky was again cloudy on an October day exactly 16 years later, but the difference was that the center was filled with cake, a festive atmosphere and a diverse crowd of students, faculty and staff.

The ACC celebrated its 16th birthday Friday with an open invitation to free lunch and a panel discussion about the past, present and future of the center and diversity on campus.

The birthday is a huge milestone for a center that took years of student activism to establish, said Castillo-Cullather, who has been with the center all 16 years.

“It took many years of campaign from students who were members of the Asian American Association and Asian Student Union,” she said. “Each year, a new

group of students would pick up the cause.”

The efforts culminated in 1997, when leaders from various minority groups formed a student coalition and made a list of demands from the administration, including the establishment of the ACC, Castillo-Cullather said.

Castillo-Cullather said the work is worth it for her when she sees students enjoying themselves during center activities and when she witnesses “aha” moments from people attending ACC discussion events.

Castillo-Cullather said she hopes the future of the ACC includes it continuing to live up to its mission of being a vibrant and dynamic place where people learn, make connections and feel at home.

“I would like to see the ACC do more partnerships with the alumni and academic units in creating opportunities for students to think outside the box,” she added.

Students had a chance to

discuss their vision for the ACC during the panel discussion, moderated by ACC graduate assistant Taylor Killough.

“We’re just really excited and really proud to have been around for 16 years and the main purpose of today is to celebrate that, but also to look towards the future and plan for the next 16 years and the best ways we can advocate for and serve students,” Killough said.

Martin McCrory, vice provost for educational inclusion and diversity and one of the panelists at the event, said he hopes all the campus culture centers bolster their academic components with more classes and tutoring.

“We need more technology in the centers to bring them out of the 1800s,” he said.

Other topics discussed included a future where the white majority is slated to become the minority.

Panelist Joyce Rogers, vice president for development and external relations

for Diversity, Equity and Multicultural Affairs, said the need for diversity programming and resources like the ACC are perhaps even more crucial as the number of minorities grows.

“Being the majority in numbers isn’t the same as being the majority in power and economics,” she said.

The importance of the ACC not just for campus diversity but as a resource for individual students was highlighted by 2013 IU alum Gloria Chan, who spoke during the discussion about how the ACC served as her second home during her undergraduate experience.

Chan said she is from a place where there are not many Asians, which meant she was the only one at her school who had to deal with the identity issues she said are associated with having a different background.

“Coming to the ACC and meeting people like me that have such complicated backgrounds was comforting,” she said. “The people here are really nice.”

Kelley professors study Open Payments system From IDS reports

Three professors from IU’s Kelley School of Business contributed to a paper about how patients’ choice of physician may be affected by the Open Payments system.

Open Payments is the system that makes information on the financial relationships that exist between doctors and hospitals and health care manufacturing companies available to the public, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services website.

The paper will be in an upcoming issue of the Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics.

Patients were more likely to pay attention to exactly what the doctor was being paid for, and patients did not view all payments equally, said Joshua Perry, assistant professor of business law and ethics, in a

University press release.

The other two contributors were Dena Cox, professor of marketing, and Anthony Cox, chair of the Business of Medicine MBA program at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis, according to the University.

They surveyed 881 health care consumers about different types of payments made from health care manufacturers to health care providers.

They examined how greater transparency might influence patients’ trust in their physicians and whether or not health care consumers would consult the Open Payments system to find potential conflicts of interest.

The study also suggested that the data made available

by Open Payments should be available to consumers in more places than just online.

Some unhealthy food in campus vending machines will soon be replaced by healthier options.

Healthy IU, IU’s wellness program, plans to install 10 pilot vending machines with healthy new vending options by early to mid-November, said Steven Lalevich, IU’s registered dietitian.

“One of Healthy IU’s initiatives is to make more healthy food available on campus,” he said. “So right now we’re focusing on vending machines, trying to make healthier food available in vending machines.”

Healthy IU will conduct Taste and Tell events where students and faculty will have the opportunity to try potential new vending options and provide their feedback through surveys, Lalevich said.

Potential new vending options will include nuts, sunflower seeds, trail mix, pretzels, crackers and various protein and granola bars, Lalevich said.

Once students and faculty have had the opportunity to sample the potential new vending options, surveys will ask them which items they would eat, for which items they would pay and how often they eat at vending machines, Lalevich said.

“We want to make available more healthy options, but we want to choose those healthy options that people want,” he said.

Based on the data collected from the Taste and Tell events, Healthy IU will then install 10 pilot vending machines across campus, Lalevich said.

These pilot vending machines will use a stoplight system, denoting snacks as red, yellow or green, based on Healthy IU’s healthy snack nutrition guidelines.

Snacks that have 250 calories or less, 250 milligrams of sodium or less and no trans fat will meet the healthy snack nutrition guidelines.

No more than 35 percent of the calories can come from fat, no more than 10 percent can come from saturated fat and no more than 25 percent can come from added sugar, Lalevich said.

Snacks that meet the healthy snack guidelines and are a whole food source will be denoted as green.

Snacks that meet the healthy snack guidelines or are a whole food source will be

denoted as yellow.

And snacks that neither meet the healthy snack guidelines nor are a source of whole food will be denoted as red.

Whole food sources include snacks whose main ingredient is a fruit, a vegetable, whole grain, dairy or protein, Lalevich said.

“We don’t want to see an overall reduction in vending sales,” he said. “We want to just convert some of the red purchases to yellow and, hopefully, green purchases.”

Lalevich said though Healthy IU aims to provide healthier options in vending machines, the healthiest options will not come from vending machines.

“It’s a small component of a larger initiative,” he said.

“I don’t know if the vending aspect is going to completely change the health on campus, but it’s one step in that direction of making IU a healthier place to work and a healthier place to be.”

The first Taste and Tell event will take place from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Thursday at the 42nd IU Health Fair in Alumni Hall.

In addition to the Taste and Tell event, the Health Fair will feature vision and hearing tests, massage and aromatherapy, strengthening exercises and flu shots, said Cathlene Hansen, IU Health Center director of health and wellness education. “(The Health Fair) brings about this safe one-stop shop of community information and resources,” she said.

Hansen said the information and resources will address all aspects of health.

“Across the wellness spectrum, you have emotional health and mental health and physical health and sexual health and occupational health and financial health,” she said. “We try to touch on every one of those topics. We want to make sure that this is a holistic, wellrounded opportunity.”

The information and resources will also stress health and well-being promotion rather than disease prevention, Hansen said.

“It’s easy for Western medicine to focus on preventing disease,” she said.

“But we want to go a step before we get there to say that we want to promote health.

And when you’re promoting health and well-being and a better quality of life, you’re not even getting close to illness.”

Panel to discuss consortium at Statewide IT conference From IDS reports

Students can learn more about Unizin, a consortium involving IU and three other research universities, at Statewide IT on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Colorado State University, the University of Florida and the University of Michigan are involved in the program, which IU signed onto in June.

The program aims to improve the way universities share and deliver information to students through an online suite of services, online courses and big data analytics, according to the University.

Unizin provides a common technological platform for the four universities. Each university has pledged $1 million toward shaping it during the next three years.

The online system Canvas, which many IU students have begun using this year, is a part of IU’s involvement in Unizin, according to the University.

Canvas is the first of many technology services included in Unizin, according to the

University.

IU began discussions of Unizin when McRobbie announced IU Online in 2012.

Unizin was created as an unincorporated association within Internet2. Internet2 is one of the leading nonprofit technology institutions, with more than 500 member institutions in business, higher education and government.

Speaking about Unizin at Statewide IT will be Executive Vice President and Provost Lauren Robel, representatives from Unizin and representatives from each of the other three schools.

Statewide IT is taking place on IU’s campus this week and includes speakers, workshops and more, all focused on technology and information, according to the University.

Keynote events, including the Unizin panel, are open to the public.

The Unizin panel will take place from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.

Tuesday in the IU Auditorium.

State history magazine features Quaker artist From IDS reports

The person-to-person campaign methods of 1888 presidential candidate Benjamin Harrison are explored in the latest issue of the Indiana Magazine of History.

Harrison lived in Indianapolis at the time of his campaign, and the story recounts Harrison and his wife, Caroline, welcoming thousands of people to their home, according to an IU press release.

Harrison estimated he had shaken more than 60 hands per minute.

Jeffrey Bourdon is an adjunct professor of history at the University of Mississippi.

His submission to the magazine explores how Harrison’s campaign style helped to gain him support and newspaper coverage and ultimately to win him the presidency.

The Indiana Magazine of History is published quarterly by IU’s history department in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Yearly subscriptions to the magazine are $24, according

to the magazine’s website.

The magazine has been published quarterly since 1905 and at IU-Bloomington since 1913.

It features writings that contribute to the understanding of Midwestern and Indiana history.

These writings often include peer-reviewed scholarly articles, research notes, annotated primary documents, critical essays and reviews, according to the magazine’s website.

The September issue also features a profile on Quaker artist Olive Rush.

Rush is widely remembered as an artist from Santa Fe, N.M., but she was raised in Grant County, Ind. Also, IU librarian Lou Macolm reflects on her 40-year career with special attention to how technology has changed the way historians research Indiana history.

How to train your bus riders

Modern Catholics SARAH KISSEL is a sophomore in English literature.

LUCAS BURCH is a senior in informatics.

It’s burning hot, packed tight as can be, and there’s an odor of stale sweat.

No, I’m not describing a three-week-old can of sardines left on the kitchen counter or the dance floor at Kilroy’s Sports Bar. I’m describing the A bus at any given time of the day.

There are three to four A buses running at nearly all times of the day, according to the bus schedule provided by IU. The buses depart roughly every seven to 13 minutes, which in theory sounds like it should work. But it doesn’t.

This column isn’t meant to insult the IU campus bus system. I could write a short story on that issue.

This column is meant to talk about how people living on campus ruin the campus bus system.

Countless times I have attempted to catch the bus back from class to my vehicle at the stadium, and I haven’t been able to get on the bus because it was full of students.

The few times I manage to squeeze onto the bus, hordes of students hop off at Briscoe or McNutt.

The only time a student should ever ride the bus is if they are traveling from Willkie to the stadium.

That is the only time it is ever actually necessary.

If you’re under the impression that riding the bus from Briscoe to Ballantine is faster than walking there, you’re misinformed.

Personally, it’s roughly a 12-minute walk from Briscoe to Ballantine or a 15- to 16-minute walk to Third Street.

It can take about 20 minutes to ride the bus from the Briscoe stop to the Jordan stop on Third Street, due to traffic.

Too many times this year I’ve seen a student jump on the bus at McNutt and ride it to Kelley.

This is not a joke. Students actually do this.

Instead of walking maybe a thousand feet, they feel the need to jump on the bus as if it were some big family reunion.

In addition, many students who ride the bus don’t even do it correctly.

I’ve seen students, who I can only assume to be freshmen, repeatedly show their student IDs to the bus driver as if he or she actually cares.

Then they crowd the middle of the aisle. When a new stop is reached, they continue to stand in the same position instead of moving to the back to accommodate new passengers.

Instead of moving to the back, people shuffle and stand in front of the doors.

Which would be fine if they would actually get out of the way when other students were trying to exit.

Instead, they stand in the way as if they were Gandalf refusing to let anyone pass.

The best thing for everyone involved is to simply walk to class if you live on campus. If you must take the bus, be considerate.

But if more people walked, the buses would be less crowded, and you would get to enjoy the scenic views of Bloomington. Talk about a win-win situation. luburch@indiana.edu

ILLUSTRATION BY MORGAN ANDERSON | IDS

Lighting up a new policy WE SAY: IU needs to accommodate smokers IU’s very inconsistent policies regarding tobacco use on campus have led to no end of frustration from smokers and health advocates on campus.

The Indiana Daily Student published an article on Sept.

28 entitled, “Blowing Smoke.”

In it, reporter Sanya Ali reveals the ambiguity of IU’s smoking policy.

Despite IU being officially a smoke-free campus and the signs plastered across doorways reminding everyone of the fact, the unspoken truth is there are areas where students feel they can light up.

Of course, this is contrary to the university policy, but without strict oversight of the policy as it stands, it’s simply farcical to even think about no smoking ever really be-

coming a reality here on campus.

One could only imagine the repercussions if the university were this lax about its drinking policy, for example.

Another particularly befuddling condition in the campus smoking policy is the requirement that smokers stay eight feet away from the entrances of buildings.

This is irrespective of the fact that University policy already states that smoking on campus is banned.

There is no clarification on this point, and while it might seem like a bureaucratic oversight or a classic case of administrative trivia gone crazy, it is emblematic of the lack of consistent enforcement or seriousness that people have for the policy.

By the same coin, it places smokers in the uncomfortable position of not being able to go anywhere to light up.

With university employees also caught in the crossfire, it is clear the current situation is untenable.

IU pushes massive campaigns advertising many other issues, such as Culture of Care and the massive bathroom stall campaign for sexual assault awareness.

The Indiana Daily Student Editorial Board sees smoking prevention being underrepresented among the many drives and fundraisers for awareness.

Conversely, a lack of smoking areas adds to campus pollution.

Designated smoking areas

with provided special trash cans for cigarette butts would greatly reduce the prevalence of those iconic little brown cylinders announcing the ineffectiveness of our no smoking policy.

This will not be the last time we will address this issue, as smoking and tobacco use continues to be a global health problem.

But we hold that the University can address it while it is still happening.

By increasing awareness of the problems of smoking and not trying to browbeat current smokers into quitting, we believe that the University can begin to finally strike a fine balance between the often conflicting interests of its smoking students and its non-smoking students.

ALL RILED UP

Colorado students take history into own hands Thomas Jefferson said the cornerstone of democracy was a well-informed electorate. A school board in Colorado doesn’t agree.

The Jefferson County School Board in Colorado decided to review its advanced placement American history curriculum to weed out potentially unpatriotic themes in the course.

Students within the district understandably opposed the bastardization of their education and organized walkouts in protest.

The school board wants to review curriculum to make sure it encourages patriotism and respect for authority and individual rights but does not overemphasize perceived negative ideas such as civil disobedience.

If the purpose of this review was to maintain relevancy and accuracy, no one would be batting an eye.

However, the blatant

attempt to manipulate the education of students into promoting a faultless America is a disservice to their education.

History is already very subjective.

So much about what we know from the past is tainted in bias and selective information.

As the saying goes, the winners write the history books, and we have often been the winners.

To remove the few mistakes that we do allow ourselves to acknowledge would be erasure of our country’s many flaws and would only hurt us in the long run.

The truth is, people learn from the mistakes of the past.

If we remove those mistakes from students’ education, their education will leave them ignorant.

Censoring the education of Colorado students will do more harm than unpatriotic

facts in a history book.

We should be teaching students that it is better to acknowledge your flaws so that you can deal with them than to pretend they don’t exist and hope they will go away.

Civil disobedience in the past — such as the civil rights movement, the feminist movement, the anti-war movements, etc. — has been a reflection of deep-seated flaws within our society.

But these movements were positive because without the recognition of those flaws and the action to rectify them, our country would have stagnated at the level of racism, sexism and religious exclusivity with which it was founded.

Teaching these movements in school isn’t antiAmerican.

Instead, it showcases one of the most important parts of being an American: the freedom of speech and protest

and the responsibility to improve your country.

It is patriotic to want to better the country you live in. It is manipulative to try and whitewash and sugarcoat a history of violence and mistakes.

The Colorado school board has no right to deny their students the knowledge they need to understand the complicated history of the nation they are inheriting.

Luckily, the students who staged walkouts already understand the importance of civil protest in protecting individual rights and throwing off tyranny.

There is no goal more patriotic than that. jordrile@indiana.edu

Since Pope Francis’ innaguration in March 2013, the Holy Father has unflinchingly addressed controversial topics that have historically been indisputable within the Catholic Church.

His groundbreaking, “Who am I to judge?” remark regarding gay individuals who seek a relationship with Jesus set the tone for a revolutionary reign.

A newly modern stance on issues such as charity, service, money, divorce and gay marriage has given Pope Francis universal, inter-denominational appeal.

The Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops, often referred to as a “synod,” began in Rome this weekend. A synod is a gathering of more than 200 Catholic bishops, priests and laypeople from around the world.

The topic of this particular synod is, according to a statement released by the Vatican, “the pastoral challenges of the family,” which includes items such as contraception, samesex unions, polygamy and communion for divorced and remarried Catholics.

A survey conducted

by Georgetown University’s Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate revealed that of the 30 million married Catholics in America, 4.5 million are divorced and remarried without an annulment. This means they cannot receive communion.

Even for a non-Catholic such as myself, this turn of events is exciting and refreshing. The Pope has frequently noted his concern for the waning relevance of the Catholic Church in modern society, and I couldn’t agree more.

Christians as a whole have been branded as generally backward and intolerant, two traits that cannot carry into the next generation.

Pope Francis has already encountered some public backlash against his recommendations for the synod’s discussion from cardinals and other church leaders.

Pope Francis has an uphill battle ahead of him, but his eagerness to fight it gives me great hope for an institution with a long history of violence and discrimination.

One in 10 American adults is a former Catholic, according to a study by the Pew Research Center.

My father is included in that population. He didn’t agree with the church’s intolerance and refusal to accept new ideas.

When he and my Protestant mother became engaged, my father’s priest refused to marry them.

Another study in March 2013 by U.S. News found that Americans are currently the least religious they’ve ever been.

No matter what your spiritual beliefs or opinions may be, it is nearly impossible to argue the world would benefit from the eradication of organized religion. I don’t want the Catholic Church to fade away, I want it to adapt.

I appreciate the enormous amount of people who are religious and openminded, willing to bring their faiths into the 21st century.

Pope Francis has made it clear he feels the same, and I look forward to the tremendous conversations and adaptions his papacy undoubtably holds for Catholics — and others — all around the globe. sbkissel@indiana.edu

Keenan Hartman drinks beer at the Upland Brewing Company Oktoberfest on Saturday.

Local brewery celebrates Oktoberfest

By Amanda Marino ammarino@indiana.edu @amandanmarino

Inside Upland Brewing Company on Saturday, dozens of people crowded together, squeezing past each other in narrow walkways, attempting to get to seats with their families and friends.

Servers in lederhosen and dirndls bustled back and forth with trays of traditional German food and mugs full of Oktoberfest lager as they rushed to serve their patrons.

Outside, the scene varied only slightly with cool breezes cutting through the IU gear people still wore, celebrating a victory on the football field.

People stood in clusters around tall tables, drinking and enjoying a guitarist’s performance.

This is Oktoberfest.

At the annual Oktoberfest, people gathered together to celebrate the seasons, friendships and beers that make life special.

Keenan Hartman, a Bloomington local, and IU graduate student Chris Stewart sat across from each other outside, playing cards and drinking from their mugs.

Both men came dressed for the occasion, with Stewart sporting an Oktoberfest hat and German soccer jersey and Hartman wearing red lederhosen, an outfit of which he said he only borrowed suspenders. Everything else was his.

Stewart said they often come to Upland, but they had never been to Oktoberfest.

“I’m very proud of my German heritage,” Stewart said.

Hartman went on to explain Oktoberfest originated around a specific beer that took almost a year to prepare.

The brewing process began in the spring, and the beer fermented all summer, only becoming ready to drink in the late fall. This lead

to the celebration of a good product.

He said the whole event started in Munich, but America has since had several of its own Oktoberfest adaptations, including the one at the Upland Brewery.

“The fall harvest is definitely a celebration we’re familiar with,” Stewart said.

He described the atmosphere as jovial and casual, one where people ate and talked together amid the sounds of silverware clinking against plates and conversation from surrounding tables.

“It’s about celebrating coming out for the same experience,” Hartman said.

The men tapped their glasses together, saying “prost,” a German word used for cheers.

Inside, IU alumna Emily Gentry rushed to serve her tables. Dressed in a dirndl, she said this was her fourth Oktoberfest at Upland.

She said Oktoberfest is different from an ordinary day at Upland for a variety of reasons, including an allGerman menu, having Oktoberfest beer, one of Upland’s best selling beers, on tap, live music and dressing up for the occasion.

“We get to have fun,” she said.

Gentry said the food moves faster on the all-German menu, allowing more customers to be served in a shorter period of time.

Most festivals at Upland take place in the parking lot, but Oktoberfest takes place both inside and outside, she said. This year is the first time Oktoberfest was hosted in the newly renovated section of Upland.

“It’s a different experience you can have here at Upland,” she said.

Gentry said the staff at Upland is like a giant family.

Everybody pitches in to take care of the first priority: the customers.

“It’s one of our busiest days of the year,” she said.

President Obama answers questions from constituents at Millennium Steel in Princeton, Ind. on Friday, National Manufacturing Day.

Obama talks minimum wage hike

By Brian Seymour briseymo@indiana.edu | @briseymo

President Obama traveled to Millennium Steel Services in Princeton, Ind., on Friday to pay homage to the nation’s ever-increasing manufacturing sector on Manufacturing Day. In a release from the Office of the Press Secretary prior to his travels, Obama outlined new strategies for boosting the economy through the manufacturing sector in an effort to continue the growth in the nation’s economy since he first took office.

This sector has been continually growing since 2009, the year the president officially took office, adding an aggregate 677,000 employees nationwide, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics According to the National Association of Manufacturers, the sector contributes to nearly one-sixth of the jobs in the private sector.

“When our manufacturing base is strong, our entire economy is strong,” Obama said in his National Manufacturing Day Proclamation.

“Today, we continue our work to bolster the industry at

the heart of our nation. With grit and resolve, we can create new jobs and widen the circle of opportunity for more Americans.”

Among the strategies described in the release, the only one discussed at MSS was the announcement of a new competition to create an Integrated Photonics Manufacturing Institute.

The competition will be led by the Department of Defense and will award more than $100 million in federal investment, with a matched or greater private investment, to the winning consortium, according to the press release.

“When we think about manufacturing, we only think about the traditional guys with the hard hats and the glasses, sparks flying and noisy,” Obama said. “These days you go into a manufacturing plant like this, and it’s clean and quiet and so much of it is running on computers, automation and new systems. So if we’re going to stay competitive in manufacturing, we’ve got some terrific advantages.”

Our biggest advantage is energy, he said. Because of this advantage, the nation

needs to be one step ahead in the research and development of new technologies like integrated photonics.

According to endogenous growth theory, investment in technologies will contribute to significant economic growth, which has been increasing since the beginning of Obama’s presidency.

Factors which influence economic growth include productivity and GDP, both of which data suggests is increasing.

Since 2010, the compound annual growth rate of United States exports, a contributor to GDP when total domestic imports are taken into account, has gone up by 7.7 percent, according to the White House.

Federal Reserve economic data shows an overall increase in real GDP since Obama officially took office in 2009.

The same sources cite a 20-percent growth in output since 2010. Combined with BLS numbers suggesting a consistently decreasing national unemployment rate beginning in 2009, these numbers go hand-in-hand to prove increasing productivity

in the US. Obama also emphasized the middle class in his weekly address at MSS. “We do better when the middle class does better and when more Americans have their way to climb into the middle class,” Obama said.

In an effort to support middle-class growth, Obama proposed increasing the minimum wage.

“It would put more money in workers’ pockets,” he said.

“It would help 20 million Americans. Recent surveys show the majority of small business owners support a gradual increase to $10.10 an hour.”

Since Obama has taken office, income inequality in the US has gone up, according to census data on the GINI index, a variable used to measure a nation’s wealth disparity.

“Let’s give America a raise,” Obama said. “Let’s do this because it would make our economy stronger and make sure that growth is shared. Rather than just reading about our recovery in the headlines, more people would feel it in their own lives.”

His most notable visit to Indiana was in 2009 to visit Elkhart, Ind., to discuss the high unemployment rate.

Elkhart, at that time, had an unemployment rate of approximately 15 percent, the highest in the nation.

Obama’s speech came on the same day that the national job and unemployment rates were released.

Approximately 248,000 jobs were added last month nationwide, and the unemployment rate dipped to 5.9 percent.

Obama has used this economic policy talk tour to shift away from the overseas events that have dominated national conversation recently.

This event comes one month before the midterm elections Nov. 4.

part of a conversational shift prior to the midterm elections.

All 435 seats in the House of Representatives will be decided on by voters Nov. 4.

Obama discussed new legislation he would like to see put in front of Congress regarding minimum wage and equal pay, though he blamed the current Congressional stalemate as to why many of the pieces might not pass.

“The only thing that’s holding us up is politics,” Obama said.

Last month, the House of Representatives passed the Jobs for America Act, a Republican-written bill composed of many other economic proposals made by members of Congress, including a bill sponsored

The 3-1 start in the Big Ten is IU’s best start in 16 years.

The last time the Hoosiers went 3-1 to open the Big Ten, most of the team members were between 3 and 7 years old.

Tallman credits the team’s chemistry for their success.

Whether it’s goofing off and comparing teammates to movie characters or their communication on the court, the player-to-player connections are going well for the Hoosiers right now.

The team is bonding

through non-volleyball activities, too.

IU Coach Sherry Dunbar-Kruzan said the team took Saturday to tour the Sept. 11 memorial and visit the Statue of Liberty.

Back when they went to Connecticut to play UConn, the team toured the ESPN studios.

“They don’t want to go to New York City and go shopping,” Dunbar-Kruzan said.

“I really like this group.”

Dunbar-Kruzan also spoke of her team and how they can go from goofy one minute to competitive the next.

That’s what they did this weekend en route to a 2-0 performance.

“They know how to turn on the switch when it’s time to turn it on,” Dunbar-Kruzan said.

Jewher said. “I didn’t really have Uighur friends. With my classmates, it was fine.

But when I go out of school, I can feel there are differences between how they treat me and how they treat others.”

The Uighur people have often called for independence from China and to create their own separate state.

Despite the popularity of the separatist movement, Uighur Online worked to start dialogue between the Han and Uighur people and avoid separation from China.

But in January, separatism was the very charge filed against Ilham Tohti for the work he completed on his blog. * * * Jewher’s father gave her all of the money he had and a card with one name and number on it. He instructed her to call the number when she arrived in the United States.

After the 14-hour flight, Jewher arrived in Chicago.

She didn’t speak a word of English and entered the country with a J2 visa, meaning she had to be accompanied by the original visa holder. That visa holder was still in Beijing.

Police escorted her away.

Here she was in another country in another holding room.

All she could say was “father,” “police took away, away.”

For three more hours, she waited. No one in the airport staff could speak Chinese.

They finally asked her if she had any friends in the U.S., which she understood and handed them the card.

They called the number.

On the other end of the call, Elliot Sperling, associate professor of Central Eurasian Studies at IU, picked up his phone. * * * Sperling was planning to meet Jewher and her father at the Indianapolis airport when they arrived from Chicago.

The night before the flight was supposed to land, Sperling heard from friends in China that Ilham had been detained at the airport in Beijing.

He was shocked and disappointed but awoke the next morning to find that Jewher would arrive alone in Indianapolis.

Sperling had long been in talks with the Department of Homeland Security and the state department to arrange for their original arrival.

Jewher would remain in the U.S. At the time her father was detained, Jewher was never meant to permanently leave her own country.

“It was a bureaucratic mistake letting her go,” Sperling said. “And the person who let her go, I am told, was punished.”

Sperling met Jewher upon her arrival in Indianapolis and drove her back to Bloomington. They had never met before.

“My father told me, ‘You can trust this person,’” Jewher said. “I also had no choice.

This is the only person that I can rely on.”

They drove back to Bloomington and Sperling tried to talk to her in Chinese. But after traveling 30 hours with no sleep and no food, Jewher could hardly think.

“My eyes were looking outside, but I was thinking of something else,” she said.

“I was looking out of the car window imagining myself doing these things with my father.”

Jewher stayed at Sperling’s house that night. Her father was released the next day and she was able to Skype him.

Choreographer Diane

Sperling said her demeanor changed completely after she talked to him. She became more talkative and open with him.

But back at her home in China, something was wrong. * * * In Beijing, Ilham remained under house arrest for two days after he was released from the airport.

He was continually harassed and threatened by the authorities, Sperling said.

Ilham was picking up his mother at the airport last year as she traveled to Beijing from Xianjing to see a doctor about her heart problems.

Ilham’s wife, mother and two sons were on their way back from the airport when they felt a sudden crash and thud from behind. Behind the wheel of the car that hit Ilham’s vehicle were police officers from the Chinese government.

Ilham stepped out and yelled that there were children and seniors in the car.

Then came the threats.

Ilham’s family would be killed, the officers said, if he continued to write about the Uighurs on his blog.

Ilham continued to write and detailed the encounter with police on his site.

“He let it be known,” Sperling said. “(The event) was on the Internet right afterwards. He doesn’t shut up.”

He wrote about the Uighur situation in China and often criticized the government’s assimilation policies.

“He was never an advocate of separatism,” Sperling said. “He might be the only Uighur intellectual who was not for independence.”

Despite the lack of evidence, it didn’t stop the authorities from arresting Ilham on the afternoon of Jan. 14, 2014.

Ilham was napping in his apartment when the police arrived in his home, dragged him from the couch and beat him in front of his two young sons.

They took him away and confiscated every last item in the house, Jewher said.

The family was left with nothing, and the government stripped all of the property under his name.

Since that day in January, Ilham has been in prison.

For months, no one knew where he was. Finally, after about five months, lawyers were allowed to speak with him.

He had been denied food, Sperling said, and had his legs shackled.

After nine months in prison, Ilham Tohti was brought to trial in front of a Chinese court for his alleged crimes.

The court refused to call any of his witnesses and denied his lawyers access to any evidence, Sperling said.

“Under no fair regime would this be considered an independent, just trial,” he said. “The whole situation is so disturbingly unjust, it’s almost shocking.”

Ilham was sentenced to life in prison Sept. 23.

“Everyone expected a harsh sentence, but no one expected this harsh,” Sperling said. “And even though we expected a harsh sentence, when it was announced, you felt like you’ve been hit.”

Sperling said he and other scholars close to the case expected his sentence to be around 10 years. They never expected a sentence this drastic, especially because his crimes would not be considered crimes in any democracy, he said.

The sentence sparked outrage among many in the international community.

The White House, the European Union and Canada, to name a few, condemned the sentence and demanded Ilham’s release.

A well-known Chinese Buzzell said Cardinal is aiming to give a good performance and a good laugh.

More than that, the cast also hopes the audience and children attending the show will better understand the importance of food and eating habits by the end of the play.

“You know I hope that kids start to want to read the back of the box and read what’s in the food or get their parents to read what’s in the food,” Buzzell said.

Tohti’s story from arrest to sentence A breakdown of Ilham Tohti’s problems with the Chinese government from 2013 to present.

Feb. 2013 Ilham Tohti is detained at the airport. Jewher travels to the U.S. Nov. 2013 Ilham and his family are attacked and threatened to be killed if he continues to write his blog.

Jan. 14, 2014 Jewher Ilham speaks with her father for the last time.

Jan. 15, 2014 Ilham is arrested in his apartment.

Jan. 16-26, 2014 Ilham stages a hunger strike after the authorities refused to provide him with halal food.

Feb. 25, 2014 Ilham’s wife receives a warrant, informing her that Ilham has been charged with separatism.

March 1-10, 2014 Ilham is denied food after an attack at the Kunming train station, which the authorities blamed on the Uighurs.

June 26, 2014 Ilham’s lawyers are permitted to see him.

Sept. 23, 2014 Ilham is sentenced to life in prison.

dissident wrote that the Chinese authorities had created the Nelson Mandela of the Uighurs by sentencing him to life in prison.

“He’s risen to the consciousness of people about political imprisonment in China,” he said. “All these things basically send a signal to the Uighurs that this is not their country; this is not a country where their culture has an equal status.” * * * In the U.S., even though her father has been sentenced, Jewher said she will continue to fight.

She’s spoken out in front of crowds calling for her father’s release. She has published an op-ed piece in the New York Times about her father’s role in the Uighur situation in China. She accepted the International PEN award on his behalf.

“I’m pretty sure it’s going to change,” she said. “I’m keeping hope. I don’t think my father will really stay in the jail forever.”

The work and hope all comes from the US because Jewher will not be able to return to China before she finishes her studies. If she returns, there is a good chance she would be barred from coming back to the States.

“Like my father, I spoke too much,” she said. “Everything changes so fast. I thought life would continue like this. I would study here, get my admission here, I would talk to my family on the phone every day even though they can’t visit me. Finally, when I graduate one day, I can go back and stay with them. That was my dream.”

Although her dream cannot be a reality, Jewher said she remains strong for her father and for herself.

“I have to accept this life for myself,” she said. “I have to be tough. I have to face it. I didn’t choose this life for myself, but now it’s coming to me, and I have to face it.”

Then she remembers some of her father’s last words to her back in the Beijing airport.

“At least there should be one person in my family that is free,” Jewher said.

White said this musical definitely has more to it than addressing the problem of unhealthy eating.

“We need to understand that food shapes our identities,” White said. “It establishes who we are as people.

So much of our family is passed down through food, we understand the cultural foods that we eat.”

Hoosier running game dominant in 49-24 win

By Grace Palmieri gpalmier@indiana.edu @grace_palmieri

IU faced third-and-six from the North Texas 47-yard line.

Senior running back D’Angelo Roberts got the handoff, cut up the middle and spun off a North Texas defender before carrying the ball to the end zone.

It was the longest run of his career and one of his two touchdowns Saturday.

It gave IU a 21-point advantage en route to a 49-24 win against North Texas at Memorial Stadium.

After the game, senior wideout Shane Wynn, who led all receivers with 127 yards and two touchdowns, said he saw the play only because he got caught looking in the backfield when he was supposed to be blocking his man.

“It was pretty good,” Wynn said.

“I’d never do a spin ’cause I don’t know what’s on the other side of the spin move and I don’t like getting hit.”

The Hoosiers finished the game with 363 rushing yards. Roberts and junior running back Tevin Coleman carried the bulk of the yards with a combined 252 on 31 carries.

Coleman followed Roberts’ run

with a 74-yard carry of his own in the fourth quarter, dragging a defender with him for the final 10 yards.

With a touchdown in the first quarter, Coleman extended his streak of consecutive games with a touchdown to 14.

It was his seventh-straight game with more than 100 yards, which leads the nation.

The way IU Coach Kevin Wilson described his team Saturday was atypical of his offense.

“The nature of this team is so run-oriented,” he said. “As we threw it, it helped the run game come.”

While Wilson has been known to run a typically pass-oriented offense, the Hoosiers are relying much more heavily on the run this year.

Saturday, the Hoosiers used their advantage on the ground to open up a passing game that couldn’t find its rhythm in a loss to Maryland last weekend.

“We have to make it hurt on the outside for the defense,” junior quarterback Nate Sudfeld said.

“People are going to have to stop our run game because we got phenomenal backs and our O-line is doing a great job.”

Entering the year, Coleman said

Want more? See page 12 Columnist Brody Miller writes about IU’s up and down month of September. he wanted a 1,000-yard season.

Through five games, he has 841 yards.

With an average of 168 yards per game, Coleman is well on his way to surpassing that mark only halfway into the season.

Sudfeld said that while Coleman has gotten the attention, Roberts is an equally big part of the success of the run game this season.

“He’s a great player,” Sudfeld said. “He doesn’t get as much respect as he should because obviously Tevin’s a phenomenal back, but D’Angelo’s a workhorse for us, and he did a great job today.”

The win gave IU a final 3-1 record in non-conference play on the year.

The Hoosiers have yet to win in back-to-back weeks.

Wilson said Saturday was a step toward sustaining the consistency they’ve been lacking.

“We’re not going to make a big deal of going back-to-back,” he said. “We’re going to make a big deal of when you play hard, you can play with a lot of people.”

IU junior quarterback Nate Sudfeld’s message to his teammates was short but telling.

Prior to the start of IU’s game against North Texas, Sudfeld advised his receivers that they come out ready to play.

“I’m about to rip it,” Sudfeld told his teammates.

“He told us, and we were all like, ‘Alright,’” senior receiver Isaiah “Zeke” Roundtree said. “We knew it was coming.”

What was coming was a 23-of29 passing performance from Sudfeld that saw him pass for 230 yards and three touchdowns, registering a 180.1 passer rating.

He led IU (3-2, 0-1) to a 49-24 win against North Texas (2-3), improving the Hoosiers’ non-conference record to 3-1.

One week after perhaps the worst game of his college career, Sudfeld was able to get the passing offense back in sync despite consistent wind gusts that IU Coach Kevin Wilson described as “cyclones” and cool temperatures.

“There was definitely an emphasis for me to get in rhythm this week and for me just to cut it, let the ball rip,” Sudfeld said. “That’s what I tried to do today and, with the wind, it was just a good mindset to have, just to cut it through the wind.”

The Mean Green entered Saturday’s contest holding opposing rushers to just 87.3 yards per game.

With that in mind, IU players and coaches knew North Texas would be narrowing in on stopping the Hoosier rushing attack led by junior Tevin Coleman and senior D’Angelo Roberts.

That meant the offense would be relying more on Sudfeld and the receivers to help carry an offense that was held to just 15 points against Maryland the week before.

The receivers were just fine with that game plan.

“As a wide receiver, we all want the ball,” Roundtree said. “So when he tells us we’re about the pass it, we

all get excited. You run your routes a little harder. It’s exciting when you know you’re about to get the ball.”

After scoring 21 unanswered points to start the game, IU’s offense went scoreless in the second quarter.

Leading just 21-7 at halftime, Wilson said he didn’t want IU to come out stale in the second half.

At halftime Wilson said to his team that when they received the ball to start the second half, IU needed to drive down the field and score.

IU did just that.

The Hoosiers scored touchdowns on their first three possessions of the second half while holding North Texas to just three points in the third quarter.

“We just came back at halftime and told them we’ve got to come out,” IU senior receiver Shane Wynn said. “We can’t come out flat. You’ve got to come out with a lot of energy, and that’s what we did.”

Wynn put an exclamation point on IU’s 21-3 scoring run in the third quarter with a 76-yard touchdown reception to put IU up 42-10, putting the game out of reach.

Wynn said after two drops last weekend, it felt good to be able to break the top off the defense again.

“The safeties came down,” Wynn said. “It so happened that they called the plays, and we executed them very well.”

Wynn finished with five catches for 127 yards and two touchdowns.

Roundtree caught six balls for 29 yards after freshman J-Shun Harris left in the first quarter with what Wilson described as “concussion-like symptoms.”

Seven IU players recorded with a reception Saturday, including the tight ends junior Anthony Cosaro and freshman Jordan Fuchs.

The improved passing game opened up the run game and, from there, the IU offense returned to the form the team expects it to play at.

“A lot of that goes to, again, (Sudfeld) today because it wasn’t an easy passing day,” Wilson said. “The structure of their team, they were going to make you do it, and that was a huge part of what was going on.”

IU goalie makes save in 0-0 tie

Senior forward and midfielder Audra Heilman dribbles the ball away from Duke’s defense during the field hockey game Sunday. IU scored three unanswered points to beat No. 4 Duke 3-2.

Hoosiers knock off No. 4 Duke From IDS reports

IU field hockey upset No. 4 Duke on Sunday by scoring three unanswered goals to win 3-2.

The win marks the first time IU has beaten a top-five team since 2006 when the Hoosiers (8-3, 0-3) defeated then-No. 5 Ohio State.

Duke went up 2-0 early in the first period but responded with three unanswered goals throughout a seven-minute period in the

second half.

“We did not play our best in the first half,” IU Coach Amy Robertson said in an IU Athletics release. “We could choose to continue to play mediocre field hockey, or we could make some changes, play with some confidence, trust your teammates and go hard. That’s what the team did.

“It wasn’t a sweet and soft halftime talk. It was a reality check. The team responded unbelievably.”

The Hoosiers’ goals came from freshman Taylor Pearson, junior Karen Lorite and junior Sydney Supica in that order.

For Supica, it was the second game in a row that she found the back of the net.

Goalkeeper Maggie Olson had nine saves, six of which came in the second period.

The win came two days after IU dropped its Big Ten opener to Michigan 3-2 on Friday.

“In some ways we did

a good job of playing our game,” Robertson said. “We worked on some things against Michigan that I thought were working really well and forced them into a lot more turnovers than they normally have. The downside of it was we didn’t always take care of the ball and move the ball the way we should have.”

IU will return home 1 p.m. Saturday to play host to Michigan State.

CROSS COUNTRY

IU cross country teams place 8th at Washington invite From IDS reports

Both the IU men’s and women’s cross country teams finished in eighth place Saturday at the Washington Invitational.

The women combined for 216 points and the No. 7 men combined for 157 points at the Jefferson Park Golf Course trail in Seattle.

Twin sisters Brittany and Bethany Neeley led the IU

women, finishing 25th and 29th respectively.

Brittany, a redshirt freshman, finished with a time of 21:00 in the women’s 6K. Sophomore sister Bethany finished three seconds behind at 21:03.

Sophomore Amanda Behnke finished third for IU in 44th place with a time of 21:20. Freshman Jill Whitman and sophomore Chanli Mundy rounded out the IU scorers

in 57th and 61st place, respectively.

In the men’s race, junior Matt Schwartzer led IU with a 16th place finish in the 8K with a time of 23:47. Senior Evan Esselink finished just one second behind in 17th place.

In his first race of the season, senior Rorey Hunter finished in 36th place, third among Hoosiers, with a time of 24:17.

Sophomore Jason Crist and freshman Kieran Reilly rounded out the IU scoring in 41st and 47th, respectively.

IU will compete next on Oct. 17 and Oct. 18 with split squads.

The first meet will be the Adidas Invitational in Madison, Wis., followed by the PreNational meet on the 18th in Terre Haute.

IU has seen the script before.

In the 104th minute, Maryland senior Shade Pratt stole an errant IU pass at the midfield to set up a give-andgo with junior Alex Doody to push the Terrapins past the Hoosier backline.

Pratt kept her dribble as she created separation and a one-on-one opportunity to score against IU junior goalkeeper Sarah Stone.

The Hoosiers had made a critical defensive mistake.

IU Coach Amy Berbary has harped about what has been a recurring problem of making late errors in crucial moments.

Time after time, a single mistake has led to close defeats late in games and, in overtime, the breakaway goal could have spelled trouble for the Hoosiers.

But Sunday was a different story.

Stone came well off her line, forcing Pratt to rush through her shot attempt.

As Pratt fired her shot, Stone connected with just enough of the ball to redirect the shot wide of the net.

“For Stone to come out and be big and brave and make that save for us just gave us the momentum we needed to push forward,” Berbary said.

The crucial save proved to preserve a scoreless tie for IU (5-8-1, 1-6-1) against Maryland (5-4-3, 3-2-2) Sunday.

Maryland generated just one other shot on goal in the 60th minute set up by a combination from junior Sarah Richtner to Pratt.

Their passing combination led to a feed to find junior Riley Barger at the top of the 18-yard box. Barger fired a shot on goal, but IU junior goalkeeper Sarah Stone was able to make the save.

Berbary said the defense played well against Maryland aside from the overtime one-on-one opportunity she said was a bit of a bad bounce.

“Defensively, we were outstanding today,” Berbary said. “It allowed us to get forward off the break.”

Despite a better transition, IU’s offense was unable to create any attack ending with a score.

The Hoosiers had four shots on goal, but none of them were too much for Maryland junior goalkeeper Rachelle Beanlands, who recorded her 13th career shutout, tying her for fifth on the Terrapins all-time list.

Berbary toyed with her lineup, putting senior midfielder Abby Smith further up top to try and create more scoring opportunities. However, the Hoosiers were still unable to connect on the right passes when they needed them.

“We’re still lacking that final ball,” Berbary said. “I think we rushed. We need to be a little more patient and have a little bit better tempo with the ball when we do have numbers forward, but other than that I was happy with our performance.”

The draw was IU’s first tie of the season and gives the team its fourth point of the Big Ten season.

The single points are better than none, but Berbary said the Hoosiers will need to focus more on taking three points in their final five games of the season in order to qualify for the Big Ten Tournament in West Lafayette.

“One point’s better than zero,” Berbary said. “I think we look at it, too. We’ve got to fix a few things this week and try to get us three points.

I think we certainly could have done that today with a little more patience around the goal.”

Online services change customer experience I may sound like a broken record by saying that the media and technology are changing the way we approach fashion.

Even more importantly, technology is changing the world in general, but the race to stay tech-savvy is becoming a predominant force for many in the retail business.

This summer, retail companies created a huge presence in the world of phone apps and customer service initiatives.

In an effort to cater to the customer’s every need and do so as quickly as possible, almost every major company has implemented a way to shop and connect online.

The IU Auditorium opened its doors Friday evening to the cold and windy rain, ushering in visitors who were gathering to see multiple country music performances lined up for the night.

Jake Dodds, Sheila Stephen and headliner Clayton Anderson made up the lineup for the night, and the number of attendees increased as the night went on.

The lights in the auditorium dimmed at 8 p.m., and colorful lights lit the stage for Jake Dodds and his band, who have been touring the Midwest.

“It’s definitely nice to be in Bloomington where people do care about country music,” Dodds said as the crowd cheered.

They were modern yet nostalgic performers and gave off a friendly, high-energy vibe to the crowd during their acoustic performance.

Jake Dodds performed songs he had written himself and spoke to the crowd between acts.

“After tonight, Jake Dodds is definitely one of my favorite country singers,” concert attendee Kayla Wright said.

After Dodds’ performance, Sheila Stephen and the Rodeo Monkeys took the stage. Stephen has been fronting her band since she was 17, and she has opened for many famous country singers, including George Strait, Brantley Gilbert and Kip Moore.

Stephen’s performed a cover of Journey’s “Lights,” as

well as Reba McEntire’s “New Fool at an Old Game,” which she co-penned while writing music in Nashville.

By the end of her performance, people were gathering around the stage, dancing and singing along as the anticipation for Clayton Anderson began to build.

“Sheila Stephen rocked,” concert-goer Amanda Osborn said. “I loved all the songs she performed.”

Once Sheila wrapped up her performance, Clayton Anderson was up next. A giant screen turned on, taping his every move as he made his way from outside the auditorium and onto the stage.

As he approached the microphone, the backdrop lifted to reveal a giant Chevy truck. The show was sponsored by the Curry Chevrolet dealership in Bloomington.

Clayton Anderson and his band dominated the stage with their performance, and most of the people in the auditorium were on their feet and around the stage.

There was plenty of screaming coming from the gathering of Anderson’s female fans as they reached for him as he walked by, singing his hit “Your Love Is Like Country Music.”

Dodds joined him on the stage to end the night, sending the screaming fans home with a country concert finale.

Once the finale was delivered, fans continued to buzz outside the doors, talking about their favorite performances from the night.

“I’m pretty sure my voice is going to be gone after tonight from screaming so much,” attendee Bailey Carey said.

Northern Ireland author reads at Ivy Tech today From IDS reports

Ivy Tech Community College will host a reading by an author at 12:30 p.m. today in the Connie and Steve Ferguson Academic Building.

The event is organized by the English department and creative writing club, according to a press release.

“The creative writing club is delighted that Northern Ireland writer and peace builder Tony Macaulay is

“Seeing a working writer immersed in his craft and being able to interact with that person, ask questions and join in a professional dialogue with him is just as valuable as the time students spend in the classroom,” she said.

Macaulay will read

passages from his awardwinning memoirs “Paperboy” and “Breadboy,” according to the release.

He talks about growing up in Northern Ireland in the two books.

Macaulay was raised in Belfast at the beginning of 35 years of conflict in Northern Ireland.

NOT A MISSION TRIP

Columnist experiences rainy days of Kigali I love rain.

Gray skies make you stop for a second to rethink your day.

In my case I have to bring an umbrella or wear sturdier shoes.

It’s not often that we get to take a pause, even a brief one, while we wait inside for the rain to let up or to decide to make an extra cup of coffee to warm your damp skin.

Here, I sometimes feel differently about the rain, especially when I’m forced to walk up a muddy hill with it pelting me despite having an umbrella.

Rain in Kigali is like snow in the Midwest. It happens often, and yet when it does everyone seems totally unprepared for it.

Plans are canceled.

People run across the street holding bags over their heads.

People wrap themselves with scarves, a sweatshirt, in my case, and drink hot tea.

The rain sometimes brings in cold weather unusual for this typically warm place.

Welcome to the rainy season in Rwanda.

No one in Kigali has air conditioning, but the houses are configured to always let in air and outside noise through screened windows and cracks under the doors.

The pattering sounds of rain come clearly through these openings.

Sometimes it’s gentle and sometimes it’s a roaring downpour that makes you wonder if there’s actually a

When it rains in the United States, you’re usually insulated in your house or car or rushing through it.

You don’t get the full extent of what rain sounds like, I’ve discovered, especially a heavy downpour.

In Kigali, you know exactly what rain sounds like when it hits the earth.

Of course, sometimes my romantic views give way to practicality. I can become bitter about the constant wetness and the mud on my clothes.

The other day, my friend and I were waiting at the bus stop, which is especially busy on rainy days, and those bitter feelings caught up to us.

although public transport in Rwanda is better off than a few years ago, there’s definite room for more organization.

There are, for instance, bus numbers and designated signs to your destination. The problem is that drivers are not always inclined to use them.

What’s more, lines at bus stops are usually more like clumps, and getting on often involves a bit of pushing and shoving.

On this day, it was even worse. My friend and I, damp and grouchy, had already missed three buses to some larger and more assertive Rwandans. It was getting old.

FASHION

So many stores pride themselves on their customer service and in-store interaction.

While online shopping and apps are quicker and easier, it can take away from the overall shopping experience.

It lacks a human component, a part of shopping that many people appreciate when they visit their favorite store.

No one is there to ask for a second opinion, you can’t try anything on and, to be honest, it can suck the fun out of shopping.

That may sound completely ludicrous to a lot of people.

Wynn returns to slot in win

By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen

IU senior receiver Shane Wynn credited a slightly reworked game plan for his success Saturday.

By design, the 5-foot-7 receiver saw more time in the slot in IU’s 49-24 win against North Texas.

He finished with five receptions for 127 yards and two touchdowns, including a 76-yard reception late in the third quarter, which tied a career-long catch.

Wynn was moved from the slot to the outside position this season but admitted he still feels more comfortable playing in the slot. “I’m more comfortable in the slot because I did it three years,� Wynn said. “I’m just getting used to the outside.�

Wynn has said adjusting to being the No. 1 receiver on the outside this season, typically getting matched up against the opponent’s best defensive back, has been a challenge.

But playing in a mix of outside and slot, Wynn was able to take advantage of mismatches Saturday for what was statistically his second-best game of the season.

Wynn’s 127 yards moved him within three yards of passing former receiver Tandon Doss (2008-2010) for 10th place on the Hoosiers all-time receiving yards list.

He’s also now just 32 catches behind James Hardy (2004-2006) for the top spot on IU’s career reception list. “He just did a great job getting open,� junior quarterback Nate Sudfeld said. “When he’s one-on-one with somebody, he’s going to cross them up and take off, so we had some good looks. I just knew once he crossed the guy’s face or made a move, I was

just going to launch it for him. He has great speed and got under the ball.�

Youngsters lead IU defense Apart from a few hiccups in the fourth quarter, the IU defense was consistent Saturday and was led mostly by the performance of first or second-year players.

After giving up an average of 519 yards per game in IU’s previous three outings, the Hoosiers limited the Mean Green to just 348 total yards. “I think we just played really tough,� freshman safety Chase Dutra said. “I think we came out and punched them right in the mouth.�

Nine of IU’s leading 12 tacklers were either true freshmen, redshirt freshmen or sophomores.

IU was led in tackles by freshman cornerback Donovan Clark who registered six tackles.

Freshman linebacker Tegray Scales intercepted North Texas freshman quarterback Dajon Williams in the game’s opening possession. Dutra added a pick of his own in the second half along the IU sideline. “Chase, the redshirt freshman, you had Fant out there, redshirt guys,� IU Coach Kevin Wilson said. “You’ve got to play those guys. The more we play as we go through the year, we won’t wear down as we have defensively as in years past.�

Spriggs sits out, Harris shaken up Sophomore offensive lineman Jason Spriggs sat out with a lingering knee injury, and freshman receiver J-Shun Harris exited the game early in the first quarter after an apparent head injury.

Wilson said Harris had “concussion-like symptoms� after taking a hit in

IU’s opening offensive possession.

Wilson said Spriggs could have played, but the coaching staff decided it would be better to have him sit out despite warming up with the second team in walkthroughs.

Junior Ralson Evans started in Spriggs’ place, and sophomore Jacob Bailey changed to the left guard position.

Wilson said he had no

problem playing anybody from his depth chart but also said IU didn’t play as well inside as he would have liked. “We have a lot of confidence in Ralston,� Wilson said. “They’ve all played.

Nine, 10, 11 played. He’s been in big games and played on that field. He’s a Texas guy. I thought he played pretty good against his boys in there. It was good for him. He earned it.�

IU rounds off past 3 weeks with win against North Texas The past three weeks have captured every emotion one could have about IU football.

The Bowling Green loss led to embarrassment.

The Missouri win sparked optimism and excitement.

The Maryland loss conveyed disappointment.

The roller coaster month could be looked at as valuable experience.

IU’s 49-24 win against North Texas on Saturday seemed like a culmination of all the things the Hoosiers had learned about themselves and a bridge of confidence heading into the rest of the Big Ten season.

The win itself is no impressive feat, but a consistent performance was needed if IU wanted to internally feel capable of contending in the next seven games on the schedule.

IU needed to get its swagger back, and the way Wilson and Co. opened this game was a clear indication they had it.

On the first series, freshman Tegray Scales had an interception that resulted in a Tevin Coleman touchdown.

The Hoosiers built on that on the next play with a bold onside kick attempt that sophomore linebacker Clyde Newton recovered.

IU went on to take the lead 14-0.

It was not just that they moved the ball, it was the way they did so.

There were consecutive jet sweeps plus two fourthdown conversions. Wilson’s Hoosiers were having fun out there.

Heading into this game, there were a lot of things we knew IU did well and other aspects that seemed stunted.

IU showed progress in the areas of concern in a game where they knew they could afford to work on things.

Nate Sudfeld was coming off an uncomfortable 14-for37 outing and responded with his most efficient game of the season.

He completed just shy of 80 percent of his passes.

During the week he commented on how he had been tentative with his decisionmaking, and this week he was not by any means with 45- and 76-yard touchdown passes to senior receiver Shane Wynn.

Wynn and Sudfeld had been failing to connect on deep balls in previous games despite multiple opportunities.

Now Sudfeld feels confident to launch the ball downfield, and opposing

defenses will have to be cautious of Wynn. This will open things up for other aspects of the offense.

Against Maryland, the Hoosiers failed to produce when receivers were in oneon-one situations, but this week they capitalized on it.

There is a talent difference between the corners they faced, but it may be the principle that matters.

After the 37-15 loss to Maryland last week, IU needed a game to get its confidence back and to develop parts of the team that were not quite ready yet.

As much as the season thus far feels like chaos, a non-conference record of 3-1 was the general goal heading in.

Nothing about this IU team feels secure or stable yet.

The Big Ten slate could eat them alive, or the Hoosiers may have straightened out their kinks by then.

The sense I get watching this team is that they are capable of a lot, but there is no real gauge determining who they will be when the season is over.

IU coach Kevin Wilson knows this, and that is why he is not basing the season on little goals but instead on maximizing the squad’s potential. “Our deal isn’t doing it back-to-back,� Wilson said. “It’s doing as much as we can.�

After the Missouri win, I wrote that when IU mentally showed up and did all the little things right, they were able to put together a top-25 victory.

I think this team is capable of stringing together anywhere between three or five wins in the next seven Big Ten games.

But, with the lack of consistency this team has displayed, I could never say that confidently.

This win does not mean much, but it could be the game that assured this team what they do well and where they can still improve. Then the coaching staff can build off that knowledge.

The Hoosiers have showed IU fans that they can show up as many different teams.

Which team shows up is up to them.

Wilson said it best. “The way they played today was nothing more than a choice,� he said.
