The Supreme Court of the United States denied requests Monday to hear appeals from cases regarding same-sex marriage in five states, including Indiana.

The Monroe County Clerk’s Office confirmed that it is issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

According to a statement from the office of the Indiana Attorney General, gay couples would be able to get married in states that delayed or stopped same-sex marriages and county clerks will be federally required to issue marriage licenses to the couples.

Same-sex couples will also be allowed to marry in Utah, Virginia, Oklahoma and Wisconsin.

Same-sex couples in Indiana were allowed to be married in June for two days

Over the course of five months last school year, Freedom Indiana volunteers at IU called more than 80,000 Indiana residents.

They were calling to raise support for the removal of Indiana’s same-sex marriage ban.

“It was phenomenal,” said Doug Bauder, coordinator of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Student Support Services.

For two days in June, the ban was lifted, but an appeal sent the case to the circuit court, once again making samesex marriage illegal.

For one day in September, the ban lifted again before being appealed to the Supreme Court.

Monday, the Supreme Court denied

Before Prior to the Supreme Court’s rejection of the appeals Monday, 19 states and the District of Columbia had allowed same-sex marriage.

The Supreme Court’s rejection of the appeals cleared the way for five states to allow samesex marriage. Since the Supreme Court is the highest court in the U.S., this ruling is permanent.

FOOTBALL

Americana band to perform at Bluebird

Freshmen make difference

By Grace Palmieri gpalmier@indiana.edu | @grace_palmieri

It’s been a pattern for the IU football team. Through five games, it hasn’t been able to retain momentum for more than a week.

A 37-15 loss to Maryland last week killed the momentum from a win over Missouri.

Saturday, it didn’t take long to get it back.

On the third play of the game, freshman linebacker Tegray Scales intercepted North Texas quarterback Dajon Williams.

It gave the IU offense a short, 31-yard field to work with and led

to 21-unanswered IU points.

“Our coaches wanted to destroy them, just put our hand on their throat and just send a message pretty much,” Scales said.

“That was our goal going into the game.”

This mentality, and a constant eagerness, is something a group of young defenders has adopted this season.

Redshirt freshman safety Chase Dutra added an interception of his own in the third quarter. Nearly half of the IU sideline emptied to celebrate with him.

“It was actually really crazy,” Dutra said. “I was kind of

speechless. All my teammates just went crazy, all the coaches, it’s just a really good feeling.”

Scales and Dutra were the team’s two defensive players of the week.

Scales said younger guys still fighting for their spots and trying to get on the field increases their energy level. They’re always flying to the ball.

That’s a mindset they have as a defense. Sophomore linebacker Marcus Oliver called it “playing free,” and said it’s something Scales has done well as a SEE FRESHMEN, PAGE 6

College ratings systems used tier system in past

By Adam Smith adbsmith@indiana.edu | @adbsmithIU

Every year, some major news companies and academic organizations across the board release their latest college rankings.

However, a university’s ranking will vary by source.

U.S. News and World Report ranks IU-Bloomington tied with eight other schools for No. 76 out of 201 universities. Forbes ranks the University as No. 107 of the top 650 colleges in the nation.

Each ranking uses different methodologies. U.S. News and World Report uses undergraduate academic reputation, retention, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources, graduation rate and alumni giving as its core factors for its rankings.

Forbes focuses on student satisfaction, post-graduate success, graduation rate and academic success.

Caroline Howard wrote in Forbes that the essential difference is between ranking based on how students are getting into college and ranking based on what students are getting out of college.

With so many discrepancies in the way colleges are ranked by different sources, the multiple factors of what makes a good school can’t be measured by statistics, IU Vice Provost for Strategic Initiatives M. A. Venkataramanan said.

“Comparing rankings is often like comparing mangoes and avocados,” she added.

Despite this, IU keeps track of multiple rankings.

But Venkataramanan said the reason is to be aware of what parents and students see.

“We watch it, but we are a lot more interested in our internal metrics,” Venkataram-

anan said. “If we improve our internal metrics, our ranking will go up, and if it doesn’t, we know there are anomalies in the system.”

Before the 2015-16 academic year, the U.S. government intends to release a new standardized college rating system. This system will be used to decide the amount of aid a college receives from the federal government.

Robert Kelchen, an assistant professor of higher education at Seton Hall University, said there is a distinction between the ratings being created by the government and the numerous rankings created by private companies.

While “rankings” assign a number to colleges, the federal “ratings” will group colleges into tiers. This difference makes it almost impossible to compare the two methods, Kelchen said.

In 1911, the entity that is now the U.S. Department of Education commissioned the first federal rating system that included about half of the colleges in the U.S. at the time.

Attention was drawn to this rating system when Kelchen tweeted a link.

He said he discovered the 1911 ratings four years ago in graduate school while doing research for a class on the history of higher education.

The 1911 system divided colleges into tiers, much like the upcoming federal ratings will, but the ratings in 1911 were based on how prepared graduating students were for graduate school.

IU was in the first class of colleges alongside schools like Harvard University and the University of Chicago, which often top today’s rankings.

“I think we might be better now than we were then,” he said.

Public health professor McCormick awarded distinguished fellow award From IDS reports

IU professor Bryan McCormick was awarded American Therapeutic Recreation Association’s 2014 Distinguished Fellow Award last month.

McCormick is a professor and chair of the department of recreation, park and tourism studies in the School of Public Health.

He was presented with the Distinguished Fellow Award at the association’s annual conference in Oklahoma City, according to an IU release.

The American Therapeutic Recreation Association is a member-driven group that supports the profession of recreational therapy, according to their website.

The association tries to be the leading professional membership group that represents recreational therapists, consumers and stakeholders.

The ATRA’s annual conference was Sept. 13 to Sept.

16, and it featured a gala for the organization’s 30th anniversary.

The Distinguished Fellow Award is the highest level of recognition given by the ATRA. It identifies outstanding accomplishments in the recreational therapy field, according to the University.

“Dr. McCormick is such a great asset to the school and to Indiana University,” said Mohammad Torabi, dean and chancellor’s professor at the IU School of Public Health. “His selection as a recipient of this prestigious award is highly fitting given his dedication to innovation in teaching and learning at the Indiana University School of Public

Health-Bloomington.”

McCormick’s research is focused on how people with severe mental illnesses function socially and the community.

His research looks at elements of both social and community functions such as daily physical activity, mood and social context.

McCormick also looks at recreation and support networks and their influence on a person’s overall mental health, according to the University.

McCormick is a 2010 Fulbright Scholar. The Fulbright Scholar program awards about 8,000 grants each year to both U.S. and foreign students, scholars, teachers and professionals, according to the Fulbright Scholar Program’s website.

During his time as a Fulbright Scholar, McCormick conducted research at the University of Kragujevac in Serbia.

He is also the associate editor of the Journal of Leisure Research, a publication that devotes itself to the understanding of the leisure studies field, and past president of the ATRA. He has also been recognized for his work in the past by the School of Public Health when he was presented the Physical Education and Recreation Teaching Excellence Recognition Award.

Recreation Therapists of Indiana also awarded McCormick the David R. Austin Member of the Year Award, and the ATRA awarded him the American Therapeutic Recreation Association Presidential Award, according to the University.

Health Center offers flu shots

By Kathrine Schulze schulzek@indiana.edu | @kas_schulze

With the leaves beginning to turn and football season in full swing, the flu is far from many students’ minds.

The IU Health Center is already giving flu shots, though, and is encouraging students to get their vaccinations now.

Flu season doesn’t have set parameters but can start as early as this month and can go as late as March or April, said Nancy Macklin, director of nursing at the IU health center.

“Because the start of flu season is so unpredictable, it’s good to get it now,” Macklin said.

It takes two weeks for your body to become immune to the flu after a flu shot, she said.

“The other thing is, sometimes people run out of flu vaccine,” Macklin said. “You don’t want to get caught in that.”

While the immunity given by a flu shot can last up to a year, Macklin said students should still get a new vac-

cine every year.

“You should get one every year because the content, what viruses are predicted to be the most virulent, changes in the flu shot every year,” Macklin said.

This year, the health center is providing a shot with four different strains of the flu: A(H1N1), more commonly referred to as swine flu, A(H3N2), a V strain and a B strain, named Yamagata.

Some places are only covering three out of four of the strains, Macklin said.

The strains that go into the flu vaccine are based off what the World Health Organization and the US Center for Disease Control predict are going to be the most prevalent forms each year.

“Over the years they’ve been pretty good about getting their predictions to match what is circulating in the country for the flu,” Macklin said. “Some years there’s a mish-match and that’s when you get bad disease because the flu vaccine didn’t cover it.”

The other times when flu becomes particularly bad is when a new strain is

introduced that there isn’t a vaccine for, she said. This was the case in 2009 with the swine flu.

Those who get the vaccine cannot get the flu from it, Macklin said.

“That’s an absolute impossibility,” she said.

Some may have a sore muscle where the shot was given for a couple days, and a slim few have a vaccine reaction with a mild fever that lasts only a day or two, Macklin said.

“The CCD is recommending that everybody over the age of six months of age gets a flu shot,” she said.

The only exceptions are those who are allergic to something in the shot, currently have a serious illness — in which case you should get the flu shot after you recover — or have the paralysis illness Guillain-Barré Syndrome.

In addition to getting the flu shot, Macklin recommends that students try to stay healthy, and avoid those who are sick. If you are sick, stay home and away from class and outside activities.

“Just try to be healthy,

and that is, of course, also very hard for college students,” she said. “And by that I mean, getting adequate sleep, eating a good diet and take care of your stress.”

Get your flu shot The IU Health Center will be having a number of clinics set up throughout campus to make it easier for students to get vaccinated.

IU, Bloomington work together on Homecoming

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 requests to hear appeals on same-sex marriage in five states, including Indiana.

The ban was lifted and this time it seemed permanent.

“It’s a done deal here,” Bauder said.

Bauder said the students involved in Freedom Indiana at IU felt they had made a real difference in the fight for marriage equality in Indiana.

He likened the feeling of Monday’s Supreme Court decision to the feeling he had when Barack Obama was elected president in 2008.

He recalled the large number of IU students who had been registered to vote that year, the student activism that rallied support for the Obama campaign and the feeling of celebration when Obama won the presidency.

According to the organization’s website, Freedom Indiana is a bipartisan organization dedicated to the defeat of House Joint Resolution 3 (HJR3), formerly HJR6, a proposed amendment to Indiana’s state constitution that would have made the state’s ban on same sex marriage constitutional.

The amendment never passed.

“I would just say it’s good news,” Bauder said.

Shane O’Bannon, a freshman volunteer at GLBTSSS said he could now see same-sex marriage becoming legal in all 50 states in light of the Supreme Court decision Monday.

There are now 30 states in the U.S. where same-sex marriage is legal.

“It feels real,” he said. “It feels obtainable.”

Bauder said, while he was happy to hear the news, he was somewhat disappointed that the Supreme Court did not choose to make a federal ruling legalizing marriage in all 50 states.

“The good news is they did something today,” he added.

Bauder found out about the decision when a student came to him asking for clarification regarding the decision Monday morning, he said.

The student brought him articles from the New York Times and the Washington Post.

Bauder said he eventually came to the conclusion that by refusing to hear the appeal, the decision reverts to that of the circuit court, thus legalizing same-sex

marriage in the five states in the Seventh Cicuit, as the circuit court had already ruled last month.

He conceded that the complexity of the court system did have him somewhat perplexed.

“This is complicated procedure,” he said.

Deshea Meely, a senior volunteering at GLBTSSS, said she was glad to see that her LGBT friends could now get married.

“I’m just happy that my friends who are in the GLBT community have the same rights that I do,” she said.

Both O’Bannon and Meely said the fact that same-sex marriage is legal in such a conservative state as Indiana made them feel optimistic about the future for same-sex marriage legislation.

“If Indiana can do it then these other states can, too,” Meely said.

Bauder said he believed that activism such as that of IU students and Freedom Indiana helped to make same-sex marriage a reality in Indiana.

He pointed out that the activism was not only on the part of GLBT students.

“There were straight students who saw this as a civil rights issue, and they were really passionate about it,” he said.

Bauder said that apart from activism, social media likely played a part in the increased number of states that recognize same-sex mariage.

He speculated that the general public might have become more generally accepting as they were exposed to more images of same-sex couples going about their lives.

He said that this image was becoming more commonplace.

Bauder and students recently viewed the film “God Loves Uganda,” Bauder said.

The film explores the evangelical right in Uganda, which according to the film’s website is largely imported from the U.S. In Uganda, homosexuality is illegal.

Bauder used the film to express the idea that he thinks the religious right is not as influential in the U.S. as it once was.

Bauder said that since the California decision, it has seemed inevitable

“I’m just happy that my friends who are in the GLBT community have the same rights that I do.”

Deshea Meely, Volunteer at GLBT Student Support Services

that it would become legal elsewhere.

Despite the feeling of inevitability, he did say that he didn’t see change like this as possible a few years ago.

“It’s just fascinating to watch,” he said.

He said that, to him, it seemed as though it would only be a matter of time before same-sex marriage would be legal in all 50 states.

He said he was thankful that the same-sex couples who want to get married now can in Indiana and the four other states affected by the decision.

By Monday afternoon, he said friends in same-sex relatinships posted photos to Facebook of themselves after getting married.

“It makes me excited about my future,” O’Bannon said. “I might wanna get married someday.”

BSU seeks representation

By Lindsay Moore liramoor@indiana.edu @_LindsayMoore

The Black Student Union is starting a new practice this Homecoming.

BSU president Autumm Gonzalez said the organization created new leadership positions, Mr. and Miss BSU, to recognize members who embody BSU’s values and represent IU’s minority students.

“The homecoming court does not have a lot of minority representation in general,” Gonzalez said, “Not just black students but all IU minority students on campus in general.”

To qualify for this new position, members of BSU sent applications to the BSU executive board explaining why they wanted to claim the title of Mr. or Miss BSU. The executive board chose four finalists for each

position but allowed their members to vote for the winners, BSU Social Programming Chair Tyler Collins said. The winners will be announced at the BSU mass meeting Oct. 16.

“If someone is representing something that I’m a part of, I want to have a say in that,” Collins said. “I thought it was important that the members have a choice in who was representing them as the Black Student Union.”

Mr. and Miss BSU will be the face of BSU on campus and on social media, Gonzalez said.

Although they will not have as many responsibilities as executive board members, the two will serve as ambassadors for students on campus and as representatives at BSU events, Gonzalez said.

“It’s a way for our students to be engaged and have a representative of

our membership instead of just the executive board being the face of the issue,” Gonzalez said. “We wanted someone else to be on the forefront.”

Many of BSU’s current members are freshman and sophomores, Gonzalez said.

For this reason, Mr. and Miss BSU will serve as an outlet for young student leaders and minority representatives.

“This should give them an opportunity to find themselves and come into themselves,” Collins said. “We’re really hoping this gives freshmen and sophomores an opportunity to find somewhere where they identify and have a place to learn their voice.”

The executive board chose finalists based off of their personal statements and their involvement with BSU. The board wanted repre-

sentatives who were actively involved, able to communicate well and were passionate about BSU’s mission, Collins said.

BSU serves to be the voice of the black community on campus and to improve the quality of life for black students, according to its mission statement.

The African American community makes up about three percent of degreeseeking students, according the Fall 2014 report from University Institutional Research and Reporting.

“People can find themselves as the only African American in their class, the only minority in their class,” Collins said. “A lot of times it’s easy to feel like you don’t have an identity or you don’t have anyone to identify with.

That’s why we wanted to have this, to let people know you are appreciated — you are recognized.”

IU Homecoming 2014 is going to be a city-wide affair.

For the second year in a row, IU will work with Bloomington city government, tourism and local business officials to create excitement on campus and in the community for Homecoming events, according to an IU release.

Julie Warren, director of tourism for Visit Bloomington, said in the release that Homecoming weekend has a tremendous impact on local businesses, which she said leads to a boost in tax revenue for the entire Bloomington community.

“Homecoming weekend is one of the biggest visitor weekends of the year, with thousands of IU alumni and fans filling hotel rooms, restaurants, shops and attractions,” she said in a University release.

Visit Bloomington is an organization that works to promote the area as a tourist destination.

Warren said local residents don’t mind the influx of visitors that homecoming weekend brings.

“And even though there’s extra traffic, local residents are excited about homecoming and enjoy welcoming these loyal fans back to their Bloomington home,” she said.

The University said Homecoming activities and events will occur from Oct. 15 to 18, culminating with the Homecoming football game against Michigan State.

Local businesses and restaurants will bring awareness to homecoming by giving out homecoming-themed paraphernalia including coasters, stickers, banners, posters and buttons.

One new addition to Homecoming weekend is “A Taste of Mini U,” which will take place from 2 to 3 p.m. Friday, Oct. 17 at the DeVault Alumni Center.

The event will include IU professor Beth Cate giving a presentation called “Voting Rights and Wrongs: The Supreme Court Revists Race, Redistricting and the Remains of the Voting Rights Act.” Professor Greg Kitzmiller presenting on the history of craft beer in America.

Another addition to the weekend is the presentation of the Distinguished Alumni Service Award,

given to graduates who have made contributions to or achievements in their fields or their community, state or nation.

The award ceremony was traditionally held during another time in the academic year, according to the University.

The four recipients of this year’s award are philantropist Kathy Ziliak, Ice Miller partner Lacy Johnson, retired ambassador James D. McGee and New York Times crossword editor Will Shortz.

Anderson and McGee will be panelists at the annual “I’m a Hoosier” panel on Thursday, Oct. 16 at Whittenberger Auditorium, according to IU. “Homecoming is a great celebration of Indiana University and Bloomington,” JT. Forbes, CEO and executive director of the IU Alumni Association, said.

“We are pleased to add the Distinguished Alumni Service Award to the lineup, because it allows our students and alumni to recognize and meet individuals whose achievements burnish the reputation of the university and all IU degree holders.”

Other Homecoming weekend highlights include the Nearly Naked Mile — a race in which students run through campus shedding clothing that will then be donated to the United Way — Wednesday, Oct. 15.

The annual Homecoming parade Friday, Oct. 17 will follow and then a pep rally at Sample Gates, and an all-day open house the same Friday at the DeVault Alumni Center during which all visitors will receive a complimentary gift at the door.

Mike Mann, the alumni program officer for spirit, pride and tradition, said in the release that Homecoming is a great way to celebrate what makes IU special.

“We are looking forward to IU Homecoming 2014 as another opportunity to celebrate the unique spirit of Indiana University and the Bloomington community,” he said.

ELECTIONS 2014

Young discusses campaign, student vote

By Neal Earley njearley@indiana.edu

District 9 Congressman Todd Young (R-Ind.) spoke to the IU College Republicans on Monday night at the Kelly School of Business, where he discussed the importance of getting students involved in Republican campaigns leading up to the midterm elections.

“We were out-flanked, frankly, by the Democratic Party in terms of the social media and really adopting a 21st century campaign platform,” said Young, who was elected to the position in 2010. “I’m not talking about the issues, but I’m talking about the infrastructure.”

Early in his speech, Young said even though President Obama is not up for re-election this year, his policies are still on the ballot, through the policies set forth by other Democrat candidates up for re-election.

Young mentioned that Democrats made better use of social media for their campaigns in 2012. He said he hoped that the IU College Republicans would help lead the social media charge.

He stressed the need for volunteers for his reelection campaign, noting he wanted members of the IU College Republicans making phone calls, going door-to-door

and signing up for his text message service.

Young said he wants to emphasize three issues in particular for the upcoming election: education, healthcare and the economy.

All three of these issues, Young said, affect young people.

He said the cost of tuition for college was an issue but mentioned that he wanted to improve the economy for recent college graduates so they can pay back their student loans.

He said the current economy is disproportionately affecting young people and that voting for a Republican ticket can help future job seekers.

“I came here this evening to remind everyone with roughly 30 days to go before a major general election, of the importance of not just voting, hopefully early voting and getting the votes in the bag for Republican, conservative or center-right candidates,” Young said.

Young said he came to IU to help inspire students to vote for a Republican ticket and to remind them that he believes Obama and the Democratic Party’s policies have hurt the country.

Young specifically mentioned the Affordable Care Act, spending and over-regulation as issues from the Obama administration that

Indiana pumpkin crop flourishing this season From IDS reports

Indiana’s pumpkin crop this season is flourishing, according to a news release from Purdue University.

Factors enhancing this season’s crop include mild weather throughout the spring and summer and sufficient August rainfall.

Because of the nice weather, the wheat harvest ended on time, allowing growers to plant their pumpkins on time.

“In general, the pumpkin crop looks good and there should be plenty of pumpkins for everyone,” Dan Egel, a Purdue Extension plant pathologist, said in the release.

In the fields Egel studied that did not produce their intended yield, he said the problem was that the fields got too much rain, killing vines before pumpkins could develop.

Pumpkins with full, green stems indicate that they were recently harvested, Egel said.

Egel also provided tips for those who are interested in purchasing pumpkins to celebrate the fall season.

“In general, if you like the looks of the pumpkin, take it home,” Egel said. “However, it might be a good idea to avoid pumpkins with soft spots or brown, shriveled handles.”

He said this year’s election is a referendum on Obama’s policies, mentioning that issues facing Americans today are “on the ballot.”

One of the attendees at Young’s talk was Riley Parr, chair of the IU College Republicans.

“I think he hit on all the major issues,” Parr said. “He did a good job of applying

them to college students.”

Parr also said he plans to follow Young’s advice to make use of social media for November’s election, specifically mentioning Twitter, Facebook and email.

Parr said talking to voters face-to-face is also important in the weeks leading up to the election.

Early voting for the Nov. 4 midterm elections begins today.

Ritz: federal policies not helping

By Tori Fater vrfater@indiana.edu | @vrfater

Fewer teachers are being licensed in Indiana, and State Superintendent of Schools Glenda Ritz says it’s due to federal policies affecting schools.

Ritz released the second part of her three-part State of the Classroom video series Friday.

In part two, she discussed federal and state regulation of teaching and what she called excessive use of standardized testing.

She traced this back to the passage of the No Child Left Behind Act in 2001.

“For 13 years, we have continued to teach in a test-centered environment where educators know that learning has been reduced to how well students score on tests,” Ritz said in the State of the Classroom release. “Performance on high stakes standardized tests is the goal for student learning and the measure of teacher quality.”

The number of teachers licensed in Indiana dropped between the 20122013 and 2013-2014 school years by 1,192 people, according to Ritz’s release on the Department of Education website.

Ritz also stated the average teacher salary dropped from $52,181 to $51,188 from 2011 to 2013 and that this could affect how many new teachers enter the profession in Indiana.

In the speech, Ritz gave suggestions for how the education climate in Indiana can be improved.

Her first request was that people urge the federal government to change NCLB to get rid of testing requirements.

NCLB requires that schools administer annual tests in reading and math for students in grades 3 through 8.

But Phil Harris, former teacher and co-author of “The Myths of Standardized Tests,” said some school districts are refusing.

Standardized tests are administered in the spring, and Harris said certain districts in Florida, Colorado and Washington have said they won’t administer tests this year.

“We’ll see whether or not the threat of losing federal money makes them change their mind,” he said.

But Harris says the sentiment behind such protests is felt by educators who would prefer teacher evaluations be decided at the local level, rather than by NCLB requirements such as improving standardized test scores.

“They want to tie the evaluation of the teacher to the job description, not to a test that has no relation to school effectiveness,” he said. “There’s no job description that says it’s your job to raise student test scores.”

Under NCLB, states and schools receive report cards that primarily judge student improvement in a school district by

data on standardized test performance.

However, report cards also include graduation rates and college and career readiness standards.

The reports are meant to give parents a better idea of school districts they are considering for their children.

Ritz said in the release that Indiana must have a way to keep teachers accountable but said she feels relating teacher evaluations to testing leads to teachers focusing more on test results than students.

She said this can cause teachers to feel their profession is less valuable than it used to be.

“I envision Indiana headed on a path toward high teacher standards with new policies that respects the profession and promotes the best of what teachers offer to our students,” Ritz said. “The teaching environment is the learning environment of our children.”

Exploring science during Space Week

The WonderLab Museum kicked off World Space Week with a Space Out! event held Oct. 4 and 5 that allowed guests to learn more about the solar system and astronomy with stations set up alongside existing exhibits.

Museum employees and volunteers were stationed around the building to help get children involved with the activities and facilitate discussion about space.

NASA Solar System Ambassador Dan Cervantes was also present at the event to speak with visitors, as well as perform demonstrations throughout the day.

“I’ve always been interested in science,” he said.

“I grew up in the space age.

We had just gotten to the moon when I got out of elementary school.”

Cervantes said that he thinks it is vital to get children involved with science at a young age, as this is when they are most likely to become interested.

WonderLab Museum Assistant Liza Huffman agreed.

“It’s important to target the younger kids because science is one of the biggest subjects that kids struggle with in school,” she said.

In order to propel this effort, Huffman explained that the WonderLab puts on several programs annually and that each is targeted at getting kids to ask questions and think outside the box.

Parents who attended the Space Out! event with their children agreed that science is a great outlet for kids, as it keeps their minds open to what is going on around them.

“It occupies their mind, and it’s much better than them watching TV all day,” said Sean Sheldon, Nashville, Ind., resident and father of two. “It really lets them see how the world works.”

Huffman said one of the main goals of the museum’s programs is to let kids see how science is a part of their everyday lives.

She explained that last year during spring break,

the museum hosted a Star Wars Day where visitors examined which parts of the movies were realistic and which parts weren’t.

“It’s important to show them that even though this might be a popular movie, there are still parts of it that aren’t as far-fetched as they might seem,” she said. “Plus we had Stormtroopers attend the event, so it’s a lot of fun for the kids.”

Bloomington resident and mother of two Rachel Coleman said her children always have fun with science and that her older daughter Claire, five, is always asking questions and wanting to know more.

“It really opens her mind to the world. And the more I work with her, the more I realize just how much science entails,” she said. “Kids aren’t born with this knowledge, so it makes me happy to see that she has these interests in science.”

Claire said she loves science so much that she wanted to start her own YouTube channel where she could show the world her science experiments.

Rachel said after Claire got her first science kit last year for Christmas, she has been unstoppable.

“Right now, I really like chemistry,” Claire said. “I used to like to study human anatomy. I memorized all the bones and everything.

I just like science because I get to learn a lot of stuff.”

Huffman said she feels hopeful when she sees young children enjoying and understanding science because they are the ones that will ultimately impact the future.

“Science careers aren’t as popular, so it’s important that we get kids interested early so that they can help better the world in the future,” she said. “Who knows what they’ll come up with someday.”

Museum volunteers and employees agreed the key to getting kids involved in science is starting when they’re young and making it fun for them.

“Kids are naturally inquisitive,” Cervantes said. “Once you plant the seed, they’re going to stay interested.”

Everyone’s favorite little rock in space that could has rejoined our solar system, now as a “dwarf” planet.

That means that similar bodies, like Jupiter’s moons, could join planetary status as well, as dwarf planets orbiting larger ones and other science jargon.

NATALIE KNOWS

WUNDERFUL

Be ‘basic’

Digitally commit

IDS EDITORIAL BOARD

NATALIE ROWTHORN is a junior in journalism.

’Tis the season to be a basic white girl.

Pumpkin-spice lattes are back. A popular seasonal fall beverage, they are every basic white girl’s dream in a $4 cup of coffee.

However, the term “basic” has recently been implanted into the vocabulary among students on campus. It is loosely defined as a college-aged female, presumably white, who conform to mainstream or popular social influences.

She is obsessed with drinking Starbucks coffee, wearing infinity scarves and UGG boots and enjoys taking selfies.

A basic white girl is superficial, catty and static.

She conforms but frequently declares her uniqueness.

Favorite phrases include, but aren’t limited to, “literally dying” and “can’t even.”

Hashtag, no filter.

This socially based categorization of a person has become inherently problematic. It is a form of stereotyping, another way of trashing and belittling women for following a trend. It’s also just bizarre.

I am constantly running into BuzzFeed articles with generic titles such as “25 Things All Basic White Girls Do During the Fall,” listing random and entirely normal fall activities. It’s growing rather tiresome. The idea was humorous for a while. Now it’s just tasteless.

It is also creating a huge generalization about a very diverse group of young people, and it is certainly not the only one.

As fellow Indiana Daily Student columnist Lucas Burch noted last week, these Buzzfeed lists have been exhausted to no end.

Another recently popular categorization is even broader: 20-somethingyear-olds.

According to various articles from BuzzFeed, EliteDaily and others, people in their twenties are perpetually confused, drink too much and don’t know how to date anymore.

We are being put into a box. It is a small box with no room to grow or air holes to breathe. It is who we are, and we cannot change this.

Another common term used to label our generation is “millennial,” or Generation Y. Though they do not necessarily hold negative connotations, they still attempt to define and generalize the traits and characteristics of an entire generation.

True life: I like pumpkin spice lattes. However, that does not directly correlate with my opinion of “Pretty Little Liars” or the frequency with which I Instagram my dinner. My preferences vary and change, just like everyone else my age.

While I could confidently recite the entire “Mean Girls” script, that does not make me any less of an individual. Labeling others, especially young people whose lives are still impressionable, is dangerous. We are subconsciously generalizing about another person based on their coffee preference instead of their character or intellectual ability.

I reminisce a time when “basic” referred to pH balance, not a young woman’s apparent lack of personality. There is nothing wrong with following trends. We all do it, men and women.

However, trashing and belittling women simply for this reason needs to stop.

Instead of mocking others, we should celebrate our similarities and our differences.

Keep sipping on those pumpkin spice lattes, ladies. nrowthor@indiana.edu

Every move you make WE SAY: We are not ‘Animals’ Within the first 20 seconds of Maroon 5’s new music video for “Animals,” viewers are provided with the plot’s two basic themes.

One: women have a lot in common with pieces of meat.

Two: stalkers are dark and scary, but, you know, in a sexually suggestive way. For some reason, being hunted, like an “Animal” is supposed to be a turn-on.

The camera’s first two shots establish the first association: a woman walks into a butcher shop, and then the camera cuts to Levine’s toned arms chopping meat.

As the vocals begin, Levine is in a dark slaughterhouse swinging on a meat rack between gigantic carcasses.

He rubs blood on himself and sings, “Maybe you think that you can hide / I can smell your scent for miles.”

The sight of Levine singing and suspended by a meat hook is indelible: he’s a predator eagerly fantasizing about the moment when he can at last “eat (his prey) alive.”

With those themes, we’re off to the races.

The twisted objectification throughout this entire presentation is so overt, it borders on satire.

But just as the audience begins to hope this is tonguein-cheek, the tone suddenly shifts from dark and bloody to intensely erotic.

The transition is undoubtedly meant to be violent.

The scene changes: now they’re in a nightclub, no blood in sight, and both Levine and his target look fantastic.

This is the moment that eradicates all hope of making a case for satire: Levine is a noticeably attractive man, which turns the scenario into a dark sexual fantasy rather than a dangerous nightmare. When he approaches her in the club, she takes one look and rejects him, turning her back multiple times to deter his advances.

The audience is encouraged to react with disbelief: why would someone snub such a hot guy? Why is she being so highand-mighty?

We’re meant to project ourselves into that dark club and say, “If I were her, I’d be thrilled to have him hit on me.”

This dynamic change is where the ringing endorsement of rape culture that’s been tolling dully beneath the catchy beat begins to go off like an alarm.

Rejected, Levine begins to fantasize about sex with this woman, and the video cuts back and forth between them naked in bed, her sleeping in her underwear while he watches, and him back in the slaughterhouse, swinging gleefully on a bloody carcass and singing: “Baby I’m preying on you tonight / Hunt you down, eat you alive / Just like animals.”

The lyrics leave no room for misconception: even though he tries to claim that she is a willing participant in an attempt to absolve himself of guilt — “You can’t deny the beast inside” — the truth is that he is hunting her down and plans to consume her regardless of her wishes.

As a cherry on top of this hypersexual predatory dream, the camera cuts to a shot of Levine

and the woman kissing naked under a waterfall of blood while he howls like a wolf in the background.

It’s an undeniably beautiful, intense visual, and the overall aesthetics of this video blurs the line even further. The whole piece, even the bits in the meat locker, have a sort of — pardon the pun — raw, dark beauty that nudges audiences toward adopting this scenario as a fantasy of their own.

Maroon 5’s glamorization of sexual crime is dangerous and wildly insensitive to individuals who have been the victims of stalking, rape and domestic violence inflicted by a partner.

There is nothing beautiful about being stalked. There is nothing erotic about being hunted. There is nothing consensual about being “eaten alive like an animal.”

It’s worth noting that the actress who plays Levine’s stalky is his new wife, which adds another layer of acceptability to his perversion: we assume his wife enjoyed making a sexy video with her handsome husband, so why wouldn’t a woman in real life enjoy a similar encounter?

If you’re married to a woman, it’s totally okay to objectify her, right?

Everything about the scenarios in the “Animals” video is superficial, one-dimensional and founded on stereotypes that threaten the safety of men and women alike.

“It’s like we can’t stop, we’re enemies / But we get along when I’m inside you” is not an acceptable premise for a sexy hookup.

We are not animals.

The editorial board comprises columnists contributing to the Opinion page and the Opinion editors.

A new study from IUPurdue University Fort Wayne found Facebook users who are in relationships use Facebook to stay connected with their “backups” or “back-burners.” Apparently, the study found that both men and women, on average, had romantic or sexual conversations with two people outside of their current relationship. The study however, found no correlation between having back-burners and one’s commitment to their current relationship.

In light of the non-correlation, many might want to dismiss it as not a big deal, but I want to point out that the absence of a correlation does not make the presence of a back-burner any less wrong or any more justified. In fact, in a monogamous relationship, unless otherwise explicitly stated, the presence of back-burners violates what a commitment is.

Indeed, many might rather believe that having a backup or not is purely a matter of personal preference. In fact, the results from the study confirm this: having backups does not interfere with one’s commitment to their current relationship — right? And by that logic, if there is no interference to one’s commitment, then there isn’t a problem to begin with.

People even make life plans with planned out alternatives, so the presence of a back-up, or the occasional sext or hardcore flirting, is benign.

But this is problematic.

Under this “all is okay so long as we’re committed” logic, it would also be acceptable to have an occasional hook-up, an occasional one night stand, an occasional cheat, an occasional infidelity — just as long as it does not interfere with one’s commitment.

Yet, our common understanding of commitment suggests this is obviously not the case with most relationships people have in mind. Most people would believe that sexual fidelity and exclusivity are an inseparable part of what it means to commit. And in this case, I would believe that another part of commitment consists of the idea of not sexting possible backups, or having them for that matter.

For what distinguishes any regular relationship from a “committed” relationship is one’s exclusive commitment to be with their significant other. And this commitment entails that in making it, one is also simultaneously dismissing other possible opportunities for similar commitments — namely, the backups.

Think of marriage for example: if you marry one person, you are simultaneously dismissing the other possibilities of marrying someone else. And if you are committed to your marriage, then this entails that you do not seek out other people outside of your marriage, even as backups.

Now in saying this, I am not trying to impose any ideals of what a relationship should look like. But the point is, unless a person is open to dismissing sexual fidelity and exclusivity as terms for commitment in a relationship (which is less common, though entirely possible, especially in the case of open relationships), the presence of a backup should not be treated as something benign simply because it violates what it means, conventionally, to commit. nywu@indiana.edu

Alex Anderson (left) and her partner, Ashli Lovell, speak with Rev. Mary Ann Macklin prior to their wedding ceremony June 25 when the gay marriage ban was briefly lifted. The state’s gay marriage ban was officially lifted Monday when the Supreme Court declined to hear appeals cases.

when U.S. District Court judge Richard Young ruled in against Indiana’s ban on same-sex marriages and issued his decision without stay. The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, who heard the case in August, issued the stay, halting marriages and leaving the fate of future same-sex marriages to the Supreme Court.

Indiana’s case was petitioned to the Supreme Court

by Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller last month right before the deadline to be considered for hearing during the high court’s new term.

“Although it is unfortunate the Court did not accept the question and has again left states stuck in the limbo of uncertainty, ultimately the U.S. Supreme Court will have the final word on the subject of state authority to regulate marriage,” Zoeller said in a release.

“Strong opinions exist on all sides of this issue but we continue to urge Hoosiers to show respect for the Court, the attorneys, the county clerks and the rule of law while this complicated process plays out.”

Lambda Legal, counsel for the plaintiffs in Indiana’s case, could not be reached for comment.

In 2013, the Supreme Court heard United States v. Windsor, which challenged a section of the Defense of Marriage Act that defined marriage as between a man and a woman.

Scales has 23 tackles through his first five collegiate games. He was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week after a five-tackle effort against Missouri and had 11 tackles the previous week against Bowling Green.

Another freshman, cornerback Donovan Clark, led the Hoosiers defense against North Texas with six tackles.

Dutra has just 10 tackles on the season, but is gradually becoming a larger part of the defense. He said he and senior safety Mark Murphy are always talking through the game, talking plays and routes.

Scales, too, credited the upperclassmen for taking him under their wing.

“I lean on them a whole bunch,” he said. “Actually all of them took me under their wing and prepped me for our defense, get me to

this point right now and still helping me out.”

The freshmen are quickly buying into first-year defensive coordinator Brian Knorr’s plan.

Part of that change is including several players, getting fewer repetitions.

Last year it was the opposite, with a few players getting the majority of the playing time.

A more constant rotation means fresher legs, Scales said, and having more energy come the fourth quarter of games.

“We feel pretty fresh just due to our rotation,” he said.

“We all get about 35 plays

each, so when we get in we give 100 percent because we’re still fresh.

Knorr and IU Coach Kevin Wilson said as young players, they won’t always be in the right position.

But the aggressive, highenergy play will continue to lead to big plays like Saturday.

“Where we may not have played as well in the earlier games, I think there was tremendous effort,” Knorr said. “A lot of times we may not have run the technique correct, but guys were being relentless and chasing the ball. Guys weren’t afraid to miss tackles.”

Ebola university WE SAY: Don’t freak out.

But do get mad.

How on Earth did a man who recently arrived from Liberia exhibiting symptoms of abdominal pain and a low-grade fever get discharged from a hospital in Texas with Ebola?

Woeful unpreparedness.

Thomas Eric Duncan is a Liberian national who became the first person diagnosed with the Ebola virus in the United States after being admitted, discharged and readmitted into the Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas on Sept. 28, CNN reported.

Duncan had sought medical treatment days earlier from the same hospital.

He exhibited symptoms of ebola, although they were vague enough to not have been a concern, especially given the fact that as Americans, with clean drinking water and access to food from trustworthy sources, we don’t expect to contract deadly viral diseases.

He simply had abdominal pain and a low fever. In a CNN report, he communicated his travel history but was discharged with antibiotics.

One would believe that in arguably the richest, most technologically connected nation in the world, its healthcare workers would know that Ebola is decimating the western African continent. But unfortunately, with our inflated sense of invincibility, we shot ourselves in the foot.

It is important to remember that this is not a West African or a Texan problem.

IU has been involved in the effort through the IU’s Disaster Fellowship program, which helped set up screening for persons possibly infected with the disease this summer.

Despite global efforts to contain the spread of the disease, the Ebola virus has killed more than 3,000 people across Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia.

The healthcare network Texas Health Resources released a statement Oct. 3 blaming Duncan’s initial discharge on a flaw in the system that manages electronic health records.

“As designed, the travel history would not automatically appear in the physician’s standard workflow,” the organization said in a

ILLUSTRATION BY GRIFFIN LEEDS | IDS

press release.

Considering the magnitude of the epidemic and 4,000 troops the United States will deploy to West Africa, no legitimate reason exists that justifies the nurse’s negligence to follow-up on Duncan’s travel history.

It is also massively irresponsible for Duncan himself to not disclose his own travel history, knowing that he came from a sick area.

There is simply no excuse.

Despite the chaos that the disease has incited in Africa, the Centers for Disease Control stated the virus poses very little risk to the general American public.

However, the Indianapolis Star reported Dr. Joan Duwve, chief medical officer of the Indiana State Department of Health, said the public cannot rule out the possibility of the disease breaching state lines.

“Sure it could happen here,” Duvwe said to the newspaper. “It could happen anywhere where there’s roads coming into a state or buses or airplanes.”

The CDC is currently communicating with health providers in the US through the Health Alert Network and Clinician Outreach and Communication Activity to provide the most up-to-date information regarding the outbreak.

However, the negligence of the Texas hospital to promptly quarantine Duncan is a concerning indication of the sore lack of preparation of the U.S. healthcare system.

While epidemics of the danger and magnitude of the Ebola outbreak are rare, the US should be more vigilant about the threat the disease poses.

As Americans, we have become immune to the calamities of the world because most never reach our soil.

The lapse in judgment of the Texan nurse to follow up with Duncan’s travel history illustrates that American invincibility can creep into the mind of trained personnel.

Ebola is here, and we need to inform ourselves of what its arrival may mean for the country, — for Indiana — lest another patient with Ebola is discharged from a hospital with a prescription for antibiotics.

ONE MORE THOUGHT

Hong Kong still matters

Jacobs school pride

The People’s Republic of China has had protests against its tightening hold over Hong Kong for several days now.

For quite some time, the policy of “one country, two systems” has been considered the embodiment of the Beijing perspective toward Taiwan, Macau and Hong Kong.

The idea is credited to Deng Xiaoping who was, at one point in time, the leader of China.

The idea is as simple as it sounds.

Hong Kong is a part of China but it operates under a different system of governance.

For example, Hong Kong has been spared the socialistic and totalitarian rule of the Communist Party that has held the people of China firmly in its iron grasp since the so called great leap forward (more like the great leap backwards).

And thank goodness for that.

Hong Kong is free and vibrant.

For 20 years, it has maintained the coveted position of the freest economy in the world (first on the Index of Economic Freedom) by the Heritage Foundation.

The Heritage Foundation

releases an annual index of countries in order of their economic freedom and opportunity.

To give you a little perspective, the United States is ranked 12th.

One would think that China would want to support what may be its greatest asset, in terms of prestige and reputation.

But now China seems to be moving away from the policy of two systems, toward a policy of one system, one rule, one government and one people denied self-determination.

In the simplest of terms, Beijing has begun to try and control Hong Kong. How? By limiting who the people of Hong Kong can elect as their Chief Executive (the equivalent of the U.S. president).

Originally, a council of about 1,200 people, some predisposed to democracy and some not, would select candidates to run for Hong Kong’s highest office and then there would be a peaceful democratic election.

Now, however, Beijing has chosen that a committee made up of its loyalists will select the candidates, and then the people

will vote.

I have been to both Hong Kong and mainland China, and I have to say that these events have sickened my stomach.

I have always hoped that Hong Kong, a place where freedom exits and all the wonderful things that come with it, would influence those in Beijing and not the other way around.

We consistently hear that China has place on the world stage, this may or may not be true — I do not know. But what I do know is China is not a force for good, for freedom and for democracy.

The truth is they are bullies, and Hong Kong is the prize they are after.

Let us all hope that the protests work, that the bully is dissuaded and that Hong Kong is forever free. cgerst@indiana.edu

The Jacobs School of Music reigns supreme again, and I definitely couldn’t be more proud.

The IU Jacob’s School of Music was recently named the No. 1 music college in the United States by musicschoolcentral.com, beating out world-renowned Juilliard in New York City and multiple Ivy League institutions.

Although my musical abilities are subpar and I have no interaction the music school at all, I’m beyond pumped. Nothing gets my cream and crimson pride flaring more than a situation like this.

I’m from central Indiana, as are many students currently enrolled at IU. When declaring my intent to attend college in Bloomington, I heard endless blabbering about how IU wasn’t “branching out” and how people wanted a “more expansive and successful” college experience that couldn’t be found in a state school in Indiana. Yet I sit here as a second-year student, a decision, by the way, which I have never regretted, smiling to myself.

My public school with its statefunded education that was deemed so safe and average to some of my high school compadres is once again

CLAIRE MCELWAIN is a sophomore in journalism.

nationally praised for its excellence, beating out many of the schools I was told were superior to my own.

Obviously there are benefits to every university, one of which being the comfort and connected feeling that makes students choose to attend school there. And make no mistake, my beef is not with people choosing to go to a school they feel more drawn to, or that I am unaware that IU is outranked in certain aspects of its curriculum.

I feel this explosion of Hoosier pride because of the consistent criticism associated with attending a public, state school and how that somehow makes my college experience less than someone else’s.

I’m tired of IU getting looked down upon as being just a big midwestern state school where generation after generation of family members follow suit in attendance.

As our fantastic music school has just made perfectly clear, there’s much more to IU, and it’s outranking the competition. cmcelwa@indiana.edu

CHILLIN’ IN CHILE

The Venue works with IU From IDS reports

Cerro Pochoco is located at the edge of Las Condes, one of the wealthiest sections of Santiago.

Reaching the peak, overcoming one mountain at a time Every morning, I wake up to the sounds of Santiago.

Dogs barking, tools banging from the construction site a block from my house, bus engines roaring, a cacophony of noises that like to remind me there’s something going on outside.

Noises calling me to come see what’s happening.

As spring arrives in Chile and trees begin to blossom a little more each day, the warm sunshine and blue sky call me out as well.

Though I must admit, last week was harsh with endless amounts of papers due, quizzes to take and homework to turn in, this weekend allowed me to relax, watch several new movies on Netflix and enjoy the warm weather in Santiago.

Since the weather was so nice, I attempted a hike Sunday — a hike that did not go particularly well, regretfully.

I am an avid hiker and the idea of a difficult trail doesn’t worry me. So, without any hesitation, I agreed to climb Cerro Pochoco with a friend.

When we arrived at the base, beautiful orange flowers beckoned from the hillside, and after shedding light jackets and hiking pants, we began the ascent.

The initial ascent was steep, but it leveled out after a small distance. The terrain was rocky and green bushes sprouted everywhere, but the trail itself was composed mostly of loose dirt and rock bits.

There are two tops to reach on Cerro Pochoco. I barely made it to the top of the first point.

The trail became absurdly steep. My friend and I

were crawling on our hands and knees up the path as our feet kept slipping out from underneath us due to the extremely loose dirt. We couldn’t get good grip.

As I focused intently on what was directly in front of me, I managed to lose the path and ended up on a stretch of loose rock. I was terrified I was going to start a rockslide, as my feet kept slipping into the rocks and they began to move.

Luckily, I managed to get across it and onto the dirt path once more without causing a dangerous slide.

When we finally reached the first point, I was beyond exhausted and thrown off by the difficulty of the trail we had just ascended. It made me extremely uncomfortable to think that was the first time I had actually been scared climbing a mountain trail.

I decided I would not go any further up the trail, the first time ever that I have not completed a trail. I’ve hiked 10-mile trails in Linville Gorge, the “Grand Canyon of the East” in North Carolina.

I’ve also hiked Stone Mountain and Huerquehue National Park in Pucón, but I could not finish Cerro Pochoco. The steep ascent up a path is made up of scarily loose dirt turned out to be more than I could handle.

My friend decided to continue up, but as I had enough, I began the descent. Though my shoes never really had great grip anywhere, at one point both my feet completely went out from under me, and I slid a great distance down before finally managing to catch a rock.

I have never been more

relieved to see my front door as I was after that trip.

I was so relieved I had survived what I thought would be an easy trail.

Later, sitting in my bed eating KFC (yes, they have that here), I thought about that trail. I felt so bad about myself, so embarrassed that I could not complete it. It seemed so easy, how could I fail so miserably?

It’s funny how different paths we follow in life turn out sometimes. As I sat there thinking about that trail, I began thinking about other paths I have started that didn’t work out, or changed, or that I had successfully followed.

The original top of the mountain for me collegewise was the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

I worked so hard climbing the path toward that school, but that path changed for me as quickly as I started it.

I did not complete that journey but started a new trek toward IU, a new path that turned out to be the right one for me.

When I decided to try the studying abroad path, I wasn’t sure how it would work out. I was scared to start the climb, scared I would miss out on things back home at IU, scared of living in another country, scared I would fail and fall.

After two and half months here, I can say this climb has been more than worth it. I’m still making my

way to the top and enjoying every twist and turn along the way.

Though I couldn’t complete Cerro Pochoco, I’m going to complete this climb and when I get to the top, I’m going to feel accomplished, proud I was able to complete a long journey abroad.

I’m also going to feel a knot, sadness because I know my time here is done.

But I’m also going to feel

excited. Excited because from the top, I can see a whole network of trails just waiting for me to put my feet on them.

I know I’m not going to be able to finish every trail I start. My feet are going to slip, I’m going to get scared, but I’m going to learn from every single trail.

I’m going to climb until I can’t climb anymore, and then I’m going to climb again.

The Venue, Fine Art and Gifts is partnering with the Department of Theatre, Drama and Contemporary Dance for its monthly Bloomington Unplugged event.

The Venue will host Chinese musician Seraphenix Huan Zhang, who will play the Qin, a seven-string traditional Chinese acoustic instrument.

“It’s a very active instrument,” Venue owner David Colman said. “There’s a lot of motion.”

The event is a preview of the theatre department’s production of “M Butterfly,” which opens Oct. 24.

“M Butterfly” tells the story of a civil servant working at the French embassy in China.

The plot takes off when he falls in love with Chinese opera star Song Liling.

Tickets for the IU Theatre performance are available at the IU Theatre box office or online on the department’s website.

Student tickets are $15 and general admission is $25.

The Venue met with the Theatre department’s Director of Marketing and Communications Amy Osajima to plan tonight’s event.

The Venue has partnered with IU Department of Theater, Drama and Contemporary Dance before when they did a similar preview before its performance of the “Twelfth Night.”

Zhang’s performance will also be heard opening night before the IU Theatre performance begins but can be previewed tonight at 5:30 p.m. at the Venue.

The Theatre preview is part of Bloomington Unplugged, which the Venue hosts the first Tuesday of each month.

The idea for Bloomington Unplugged came from community members who wanted the chance to have a local place to perform acoustically.

In other venues, they always had to perform with amplifiers, and they found that sometimes their music was too loud and overpowering.

The Venue started the monthly concert to allow community members the opportunity to literally perform completely unplugged, Colman said.

Tonight’s performance will be accompanied by the Venue’s regular selection of art and open galleries.

The event is free and open to the public.

Bloomington Playwrights Project adds 2 performances to its play schedule From IDS reports

The Bloomington Playwrights Project announced Monday that it is extending its play, “Kalamazoo.”

The BPP has added two performances of the comedy, scheduled for Oct. 17 and 18.

Tickets are available at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater box office or may be purchased online at newplays.org.

After the group sold out each of its weekend performances, it decided to add two more shows.

This weekend’s performances are currently sold out, but tickets are now on sale for the two extra performances.

“Kalamazoo” has become the BPP’s best-selling show in their 35 years in the

Bloomington community.

It features the story of Irving and Peg, two 70-somethings who are looking to get back on the dating horse.

Their children convince each of them to sign up for an online dating site, where they connect and decide to go on a date.

They meet at a Mexican restaurant and have too many margaritas.

The next morning they wake up in a motel with tattoos they don’t remember and no idea what happened the night before.

The rest of the play follows their love story and shows audiences the value of relationships and that it’s never too late to find love, artistic director Chad Rabinovitz said.

Hoosiers travel to Louisville in top-20 matchup

By Michael Hughes michhugh@indiana.edu @MichaelHughes94

Tuesday’s match at Louisville (5-3-1) marks the first of five road matches in seven games for IU (6-1-3). Entering Tuesday, IU has only played three of its 10 games away from home.

IU Coach Todd Yeagley said he feels his team will remain unaffected.

“I’m not concerned about going on the road,” Yeagley said. “In some ways I think they like the hostile environment on the road.”

The atmosphere at Lynn Stadium in Louisville, Ky., will be unlike any No. 16 IU has experienced thus far.

IU’s first two games away from Bloomington this season were neutral site games at a tournament in Notre Dame, Ind., where Hoosiers fans held the advantage over their opponents.

IU’s third match away from home came at Rutgers, where IU played in front of 1,246.

The average attendance at Lynn Stadium this season is 4,038, the highest in the country.

“We know it’s going to be a great atmosphere,” IU senior Patrick Doody said.

One reason for the large crowds could be that the team on the field is one of the best in the country.

Louisville is ranked No. 9 in the country and has been ranked as high as No. 2.

“They’re very deserving of their top RPI,” Yeagley said. “Both their losses last week were both very against the flow after watching both games.”

Those two losses came against Ohio State and North Carolina State. Both were by a single goal.

The two games also saw Louisville struggle to score for the first time this season.

The Cardinals have scored 16 times this season, led by junior Ricardo Velazco’s four goals.

Velazco is also tied for the team lead with three assists.

While Louisville may be

enduring a scoring drought, IU is experiencing a flood.

IU has scored 10 of its 14 goals this season in its past four matches. This has been because of an increase in shots on target.

In that four game stretch, IU put 51 percent of its shots on frame whereas in the six matches before, IU only managed to get 26 percent of its shots on frame.

“Obviously it’s been a long time coming — there’s been some droughts,” IU junior Andrew Oliver said. “I think it just goes to show that we’re pretty persistent offensively. We do create chances every game without a doubt.”

While IU has upped its scoring tally as a team, Oliver has yet to put his name on the score sheet this season.

This is despite Oliver being much more dangerous in and around the 18 yard box in the past few matches.

“It’s been a disappointment in some of these games,” Oliver said. “I’m trying to keep my head up, work my butt off and create chances.”

It’s good that IU’s attack has increased its output the past few games because its previously stalwart back line has allowed five goals in the past four games. IU only allowed two goals in its first six matches this season.

Despite the increase in goals allowed, Yeagley said he is still pleased with his defense’s effort, crediting the opposition with the goals that have been scored.

“I love our team defending,” Yeagley said. “The goals we’re giving up don’t happen every game. We’re not giving up high percentage goals.”

Even though IU has found success in recent matches without keeping its opponents off the board and Louisville has struggled to score that past two games, Yeagley said he feels his defense will need a top level performance Tuesday.

“The mindset hasn’t changed,” Yeagley said. “The shutout is important and good team defending is important.”

IU searching for consistency

By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen

The buzzword around IU football practice throughout the season has been consistency.

Building consistency has been a bit of an issue in recent history. The Hoosiers haven’t won back-to-back games since beating Iowa after Illinois on Nov. 3, 2012.

IU has shown flashes of a team bound to become bowl eligible, such as an upset win against Missouri.

But the Hoosiers have also gone through struggles like a last-second loss to Bowling Green.

IU Coach Kevin Wilson has continued to harp on becoming more consistent on both sides of the ball. He has repeatedly said building consistent plays starts in practice.

In his weekly press conference Monday, he compared consistency on the practice field to hitting golf balls on a driving range.

Bringing the driving range swings to the course is the next step.

The Hoosiers are still trying to ensure they bring it to the first tee.

“We can go hit a bunch of balls, but we need to start hitting them good,” Wilson said. “We’ve been hitting a bunch of balls in practice, but we need to start hitting them down the middle.”

The Hoosiers enter their second Big Ten game of the year Saturday against Iowa at noon in Iowa City, believing they are building consistency.

IU’s 3-2 start is the best the program has had since 2010.

The Hoosiers 3-1 nonconference record is the best in the Wilson era.

Middle blocker earns Big Ten honor From IDS reports

IU volleyball junior middle blocker Awele Nwaeze was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week, the conference announced Monday.

Nwaeze recorded 18 blocks over two matches this weekend against Maryland and Rutgers. The Hoosiers (12-4, 3-1) defeated the Terrapins 3-1 and the Scarlet Knights 3-0.

IU improved to 3-1 in conference play and is off to its best Big Ten start in 16 years.

Against Maryland on Friday, Nwaeze totaled nine blocks. She had another nine blocks, including three solo blocks, in a win over Rutgers on Sunday.

“I think Awele has really embraced her middle blocking responsibility,” IU Coach Sherry Dunbar-Kruzan said.

“She is controlling the net and

next seven games separates IU from its first bowl appearance since 2007.

IU offensive coordinator Kevin Johns said IU played with a renewed confidence in Saturday’s 49-24 win against the Mean Green of North Texas.

He added the team feels like it’s moving in the right direction but pointed out that there is more growing left to do.

“For us, we still need to continue to find plays in the passing game, shots down the field ... and just in general continue to put the whole package together,” Johns said.

Wilson said the coaching staff can only preach so much consistency.

Consistency can be addressed, but at the end of the day, it comes down to whether or not the players

themselves can execute.

“Like we tell them all the time, ‘It’s not our job to come in here and give some rah rah, Win-One-For-TheGipper speech and you’re going to win,’” Wilson said.

“That’s done through the week, and you’re building that point.”

Part of that execution comes down to playing for a full 60 minutes.

With the state of the Big Ten and the parity around college football, it isn’t farfetched to believe in the old “any given Saturday” cliché that says any team can beat any other team.

Freshman safety Chase Dutra said IU let off the gas in Saturday’s win against North Texas when the Hoosiers allowed 14 quick points in the fourth quarter.

He said those types of mistakes need to be limited

as they could prove costly in the Big Ten. “We let our guard down on a couple of series,” Dutra said. “You’ve always got to keep your foot on their throat, you know? You’ve got to keep coming at it every series and keep playing hard.”

Heading into Iowa, Scales admitted that the team’s mentality is difficult to explain.

The Hoosiers have been projecting confidence and building all week, but at times the inconstant play has led to Hoosier losses.

Scales said the coaches have told the players they’re getting closer to where they need to be. At the end of the day, it comes down to whether or not the team can continue moving forward.

“So far, we’re on the right path,” Scales said. “We’ve just got to keep going.”

BY THE BOOK

Literature becoming popular in fashion trends this season Fall comes with trends that never fail to be the topic of conversation.

One of my favorite parts of autumn is the fashion.

No, I’m not talking about yoga pants, UGGs or pumpkin spice lattes (and I think salted caramel mochas actually trump the fall café menu, anyway).

I’m talking book fashion.

Yes, it’s a thing.

People can wear clothing and accessories that pay homage to their love for novels.

The novel world likes to invade into other spaces of life. I think this phenomenon occurs because the best of novels seem to ensnare us.

One cannot simply escape the jaws of a well-written work.

Sites like outofprintclothing.com provide novelties such as Edgar Allen Poe tote bags and “A Clockwork Orange” phone cases.

I personally own a

sweatshirt with the cover of “The Great Gatsby” printed on the front. Not only is it perfect to curl up with my nose in a book, but its blue hue is lovely.

I was scrolling through etsy.com a couple of weeks ago when I saw a page for a shop that made miniature book charms for necklaces.

The shop owner advertised that she could make any book cover that a customer requested.

I ordered a “Gone with the Wind” charm to represent one of my favorite novels.

It took only a week to be shipped to my dorm.

Despite its small size, I’ve received multiple compliments on it.

The charm remains one of my favorite accessories because when I wear it, I’m reminded of my southern

upbringing while I live in a midwesterner’s world.

I was on the hunt in the wilderness of Etsy again this weekend and discovered shops that made scarves with book quotes written on them.

You could customize your order to select any book quote on a thin, beige scarf.

Now, most of these fashion pieces appeal to women, but there are options for men as well.

I’ve seen advertisements for handmade book quote cuff links that would look great on a suit.

There are several generic products for book lovers, too.

I’ve spotted sweatshirts that read, “books & tea make me happy” and dictionary TOMS with scattered letters printed on them.

The buck doesn’t stop there.

A few years ago, when the remake of “The Great

Gatsby” film was released, Tiffany and Company came out with a whole line of jewelry dedicated to the classic novel.

Tiffany’s is not the only high-end marketer using this novel tactic.

Mont Blanc has released pens crafted in tribute to famous writers for many years.

For 2014, they made a line of elegant pens with feather shaped clips in dedication to Daniel Defoe, the English novelist.

These accessories run on the expensive side, so for a more practical purchase, I suggest sticking to original shops on Etsy as they are more affordable.

So now that you know there’s an entire market for book lovers, dear readers, I hope you’ll set out to find a few more items to add to your wardrobe.

Let’s welcome the idea of a novel as a fashion statement.
