Scholarship and service Evans Scholars receive full-ride scholarship, work in greek community By Lindsay Moore liramoor@indiana.edu | @_LindsayMoore

Sophomore Evans Scholar Danny Hopkins looks down in confusion at his formal white server’s jacket and then up at fellow Evans Scholar Jack Conway for clarification. “Dude, how do I put this on?” Conway laughs and helps his colleague before they both embark on their first formal dinner at the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority house. Hopkins, Conway and two other Evans Scholars work as kitchen boys at the Theta house as part of their meal jobs. They mop, wash dishes and serve as a small army to their general and head cook Tina Morrow. The Evans Scholars make up for not having a kitchen in their house by working at fraternities and sororities. As one of the largest privately funded scholarships, the Evans Scholarship covers four years of tuition at a state university for students who meet the qualifications. The Evans Scholarship was founded by amateur golfer Charles Evans through the Western Golf Association in 1930 and is awarded to golf caddies who demonstrate character, academic success, a strong caddie record and financial need. Evans Scholars are currently attending 19 different universities, 14 of which have houses. At IU, more than 573 Evans Scholars have been on campus since 1960. This year there are 60 Evans Scholars.

When he’s not at the IU Health Bloomington Hospital, IU Coach Tom Crean receives regular updates on the progress of sophomore forward Devin Davis’ recovery throughout his day. To Crean, progress is defined as the little things. Progress is sitting up in a chair on Tuesday morning. It’s being able Devin Davis to walk. Progress is Davis beating sophomore teammate Stanford Robinson in UNO — twice.

State grant to support rape prevention From IDS reports

Evans Scholars work as kitchen staff at a sorority house of their choice to supplement for their house not having a kitchen.

For the spring 2014 semester the Evans Scholarship paid $576,375.25 to cover the tuition of 57 Evans Scholars, according to an email from WGA President and CEO John Kaczkowski to the IU Office of the Bursar. This includes those who were out of state coming to IU. “That’s a tremendous advantage nowadays when you think about it,” Evans Scholar alumnus and faculty advisor Paul Binder said. “They’re graduating debt-free. In this day and age it’s a tremendous gift.” Alumnus Tony Saliba helped make this possible in 2010 through the Tony Saliba Family Scholarship House for out-of-state students, according to the IU Evans Scholar

website. For most Evans Scholars, this scholarship is their only method of paying for college. “Eventually I was like, ‘Yeah I need to get into college, I need to go to college, I need a scholarship to go to college,’” Conway said. “I realized how important it was. I don’t think I would be able to go to college without the Evans Scholarship.” Although the Evans Scholarship and the WGA do not require students to pay them back, scholars are expected to give back to the organization through volunteering.

The Department of Health is providing the grant through its Office of Women’s Health, according to the University.

Read why it was missed chances on the offensive end that cost IU a win.

After Michigan State helped out the No. 2 IU men’s soccer team with an own goal to tie the game in the 80th minute, the Hoosiers thought they had it. Then senior Adam Montague took off down the field and fired in the last goal of IU’s regular season, putting the No. 21 Michigan State Spartans ahead for good. The Spartans spoiled the Hoosiers’ senior night with a 3-2 win at Bill Armstrong Stadium in a game that saw IU trail twice but come back, before finally giving up the game winner in the 83rd minute. “I thought we were going to win it,” senior defender Patrick Doody said. “I thought we were going to put one more in, if not two more. It’s very disappointing and leaves a bad taste in your mouth.” It was MSU freshman Ken Krolicki who doomed IU as he scored the first two Spartan goals of the night. “Sometimes teams score good

goals and you don’t necessarily say it’s poor defending or not well done by us,” IU Coach Todd Yeagley said. “They made a nice play, credit to them. They made a couple nice plays tonight and that was the difference, but it’s tough to win a game when you give up three.” The loss left players visibly upset after the game. “It kind of shocked us,” Doody said. “Just wasn’t good enough.” The Hoosiers, who finish the regular season 11-3-4, 3-3-2, have not beaten the Spartans during regular season since 2010. “I don’t know what it is with them,” Doody said. “I think I’ve SEE SOCCER, PAGE 6

The cast will also perform 7:30 p.m. Nov. 11-14 and at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Nov. 15. Tickets are available online at the department’s website or the IU Auditorium box office.

Two bachelors, Mr. Darcy and Charles Bingley, move into the neighborhood. Bingley takes a liking to the eldest daughter, Jane, and Darcy continually clashes with the second-eldest daughter, Elizabeth. The story deals with issues of upbringing, morality, class,

education and marriage in the 19th century. “It’s a very sweet, classical show,” said Jason West, who plays Bingley. “It’s a classic for many reasons. I hope it lives up to the audience’s expectations.” West auditioned with the rest of the theater students in late August. He was cast in this particular show, but he said it was his first choice from the season.

The cast started practicing and rehearsing midway through September. Since then, they have memorized their lines, practiced with the stage directions and completed dress rehearsals from 6 to 11 p.m. six days a week. “I would say the most challenging part is creating a relationship with Jane with the very few scenes SEE THEATER, PAGE 6
