After 15 years as dean of the IU School of Education, Gerardo Gonzalez has announced he will retire from his position effective June 30. Gonzalez was named dean of the school July 2000, according to the Gonzalez University. The IU School of Education has been consistently ranked as a top education program by U.S. News and World Report during Gonzalez’s time as dean.

sororities. For the purpose of this article, chapter names will be used in place of the Rho Gamma’s names to ensure their anonymity. This semester there are 97 Rho Gammas representing 21 chapters, Rho Gamma director Anne Pappas said. These women are required to delete their Facebooks, change their names and privacy settings on all other social media sites and delete any other associations with their chapters, Pappas said. Rho Gammas are also banned from wearing their sorority letters.

Some Rho Gammas also adopt a new name during the recruitment process to ensure their potential new members do not find out their chapters, Pappas said. “I was willing to give up my letters to help these women find the chapter that they want and they love,” the Phi Mu Rho Gamma said. “I want everyone else to experience what I’ve experienced through my college career.” In dealing with the stress of

Actor and IU alumnus Jonathan Banks spoke about his film and television career at the IU Cinema on Monday to a theater that was filled to capacity. Banks, who attended IU in the 1970s, has since appeared in notable roles such as Professor Buzz Hickey in “Community” and Frank McPike in “Wiseguy.” Banks most recently played the role of Mike Ehrmantraut on the award-winning television drama “Breaking Bad.” The lecture was a conversation between Banks and Jonathan Michaelsen, chair of the Department of Theatre, Drama, and Contemporary Dance. “It is vital for our students to have contact with professional artists — in Jonathan’s case, this means learning how he approaches acting and what training he recommends,” Michaelsen said. Stephen Frazier, a junior majoring in exercise science, said he began watching “Breaking Bad” during the third season.

The Indiana Republican Party released its 2015 legislative agenda last week, focusing on the state’s budget, education, ethics and public safety. The agenda comes out weeks prior to the Nov. 4 midterm election, when all 100 Representative and 25 Senate seats will be filled.

The release said Indiana’s education system is half of the state’s biennial budget. The Indiana GOP
