Internet famous cat Lil Bub dies

By Jess Prucha jprucha@iu.edu | @jessprucha

Mike Bridavsky announced the death of his Internet-famous cat named Lil Bub on social media Monday.

Lil Bub gained attention in 2011 for her unusual appearance and physical deformities. Her bulging green eyes, protruding pink tongue and story of overcoming disease and disability earned her more than three million followers on Facebook and 2.4 million followers on Instagram .

The 8-year-old cat was born with osteoporosis, which left her immobile for some of her life. Lil Bub also had dwarfism, resulting in her stubby legs and trouble moving around. She died unexpectedly in her sleep of an aggressive bone infection, according to Bridavsky’s post.

"I have always been fully transparent about BUB's health, and it was no secret that she was battling a persistent and aggressive bone infection," Bridavsky said in his post. "Even knowing this, we weren't expecting her to pass so soon or so abruptly without warning."

Lil Bub started a national fund for special needs pets and raised over $700,000 for animals in need, Bridavsky said in his post Monday.

Lil Bub had a temporary pop-up store located on North Morton Street that raised money for local charities, selling Lil Bub stuffed animals, T-shirts and meet-and-greets with Lil Bub. The shop closed February 2018.

A documentary titled “Lil Bub and Friendz” details the cat’s rise to fame and her battles with osteoporosis and dwarfism. The documentary also shares Bridavsky’s story of adopting Lil Bub. Lil Bub spread a message of positivity and perseverance to people all over the world, Bridavsky said in his post, which included the first and last photo he ever took with the beloved cat.

“Even though my heart is absolutely crushed by her graceful departure from planet Earth, I know that her spirit, magic, and overwhelming energy are still with us, reminding us every day to be better,” Bridavsky said in his post.

Bridavsky then ended his Facebook post with three simple words in all caps: "GOOD JOB BUB."

HOOSIERS ROLL THE 'NOLES IU men’s basketball passes its first test in 80-64 win over No. 17 Florida State at Assembly Hall. Senior Devonte Green led the Hoosiers with 30 points.

By Matt Cohen mdc1@iu.edu | @Matt_Cohen_

A Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall crowd waving multi-colored light sticks and balloons, one that was loud right from the tip and deafening throughout the first half, had suddenly fallen quiet and tense. The lead was evaporating, draining all the way to three. It took a bad call to get them back into it.

Junior forward Justin Smith was called for a shooting foul he didn’t commit. He didn’t touch Florida State University guard Trent Forrest.

The crowd — raising up to the ends of the lower level and students lining the upper balcony for the first time all season, bringing an energy IU had lacked throughout its first seven games — roared down on the officials.

Forrest missed both free throws. In a flash, senior guard Devonte Green made a layup on the other end and got the foul.

The crowd was back. So was IU’s firepower. The student section rained down the Seminoles' own trademark tomahawk chop as IU put its foot on the gas one final time.

IU opened the season with seven cupcakes, a strength of schedule ranking 343rd in the nation. That all fell away when No. 17 Florida State took the floor at Assembly Hall. IU had its first test.

Senior guard Devonte Green shoots a 3-pointer Dec. 3 in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Green scored 30 of IU’s 80 points against Florida State University.

80-64 It passed.

When IU fell behind early, it found a run to put it in the lead and another to extend it. When Florida State creeped back into the game in the second half, it found one last burst to end it.

IU never trailed after the 14:14 mark of the first half. In front of a boisterous Assembly Hall crowd, against a Florida

State team built on size, it was IU’s own, along with sharpshooting from its playmaking senior guard that proved in front of a national audience what it can do in a 80-64 win.

IU began the game in an 11-4 hole. It all shifted at the under-16 timeout, it was the start of a 14-1 run. A run where IU’s defense held Florida State without a basket for six minutes, finally fulfilling on the improvements head coach Archie Miller preached throughout the first

month.

When Florida State came back, IU’s offense falling stagnant in the second half, the phantom foul call on Smith started an 11-0 run. Green heated up one more time after his own turnovers played a role in Florida State’s comeback.

IU receives $1.7 million Hunters only kill 26 deer in cull at Griffy Lake from FDA for research SEE BASKETBALL, PAGE 6

IU and four other universities received a $1.7 million contract with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to help research effective ways to improve product quality, specifically for pharmaceutical companies.

The $1.7 million is spread out to all five universities over two years.

The other universities involved in the project are the Ohio State University, University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign and Long Island University.

George Ball, assistant professor at the Kelley School of Business, is one of two principal investigators on the FDA contract. John Gray, a professor at Ohio State, is the other principal investigator.

Ball said the team, which is comprised of researchers from all five universities, will gather data on aspects of product quality such as product complaints and product recalls. The data will help them determine ways to improve drug quality in the pharmaceutical industry.

Gray said the data will help show the FDA which of its measures help companies improve drug quality.

Bloomington’s natural resources manager didn’t set a goal for how many deer hunters should kill during the city’s first regulated cull over the past three weekends at Griffy Lake Nature Preserve.

Steve Cotter said the deer population is unknown, so it’s impossible to determine how many should die. But according to ecologists and deer management experts, there are too many deer for a healthy plant community.

City officials have attempted over the past decade to solve Bloomington’s deer overpopulation problem. A $25,000 grant from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources' Community Hunting Access Program allowed the city to hire a coordinator this year to organize a regulated deer hunt.

The 27 hunters were vetted and tested. CHAP hunts are supposed to benefit them, too, by providing an opportunity for recreational deer hunting.

The first weekend, hunters killed 22 deer. The second weekend, they killed four. The final weekend they didn’t kill any.

A healthy ecosystem should have about 15 deer per square mile, Cotter said. For an ecosystem as damaged as Griffy Lake, there should only be about five per square mile. That means just 10 deer should roam the 2-squaremile preserve.

“For a first attempt, I think it went pretty well,” he said. “We learned a lot.”

* * * Killing deer used to be more controversial.

City and county governments have explored deer management since September 2010, when the Joint City of Bloomington-Monroe County Deer Task Force began its work.

Then-mayor Mark Kruzan blocked 2014 legislation that would have allowed professional sharpshooters at Griffy Lake. City council overturned the veto. Protesters wearing deer masks congregated

outside City Hall. No deer were killed.

In 2017, the city spent about $43,500 to hire a sharpshooter from White Buffalo Inc., a deer management company, according to a 2018 Bloomington City Council meeting.

The shooter killed 62 deer.

Then in 2018, the city received a grant from DNR’s CHAP program that would fund a coordinator for a community deer hunt for up to $25,000 a year for two years. This program is more cost-effective because hunters purchase their own licenses and equipment, said Sam

Whiteleather, a wildlife biologist with the DNR. It also creates hunting opportunities for Indiana residents.

“There’s more demand than there are places to hunt,” Whiteleather said.

But by the time the city council approved using firearms at Griffy Lake for the hunt in 2018, it was too late to recruit enough hunters. The Parks and Recreation Department postponed the hunt until 2019.

Actress Viola Davis will speak as a part of IU’s Day of Commemoration at 4 p.m. Jan. 20, 2020, in the IU Auditorium.

Viola Davis to speak at IU

By Madison Smalstig msmalsti@iu.edu | @madi_smals

Academy-award winning actress Viola Davis will deliver the keynote speech for IU’s Day of Commemoration at 4 p.m. Jan. 20, 2020, in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

This university-wide Day of Commemoration will recognize Martin Luther King Jr. and the IU Bicentennial.

Davis is best known for her work in movies such as “The Help” and “Fences” and for the ABC television series “How to Get Away

with Murder.”

Davis is the first black actress to win a Triple Crown of Acting, which consists of Oscar, Tony and Emmy awards.

She completed this in 2017 when she won the Academy Award for best supporting actress for her performance as Rose in “Fences,” a film adaptation for a Broadway play in which Davis received a 2010 Tony award for best leading actress in a play for the same role.

She also received a Golden Globe, Critics' Choice,

British Academy of Film and Television Arts and Screen Actors Guild award for this role.

Other awards include her 2015 Primetime Emmy Award for her lead role in “How to Get Away with Murder ” and a 2001 Tony award for best featured actress in a play for her role in "King Hedley II." In 2012 and 2017 she was selected as one of Time magazine’s 100 most influential people in the world.

“We are extremely honored and pleased that such an extraordinary actor, ac-

tivist and philanthropist will join us for this special day of commemoration and historic day for Indiana University,” said IU President Michael McRobbie in a press release.

This is a free, ticketed event. Tickets can be picked up by students now and will be open to the public starting 10 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 4 and can be purchased in the IU Auditorium box office or website.

The tickets are firstcome, first-serve and there is a limit of two tickets per person.

IU ranks sixth in abroad students

By Kyra Miller kymill@iu.edu | @kyra_ky94

IU ranks sixth among U.S. institutions in the number of students who study abroad, according to the 2019 Open Doors Report on International Education Exchange.

The Office of Overseas Study offers students hundreds of opportunities to travel and learn in countries across the world.

Abel Craig, an IU senior studying community health, spent his summer at Khon Kaen University in Khon Kaen, Thailand, about 300 miles northeast of Bangkok.

While studying in Thailand, Craig took classes focused on public health issues in southeast Asia and how to implement community health plans.

“This experience has made me more aware of the nuances in global culture and how it affects daily life in Thailand,” Craig said.

Craig also spent time traveling to elephant sanctuaries, the Mekong River, national parks and Buddhist temples.

In 2018, 3,044 IU Bloomington students studied abroad, an increase of more than 7% from previous years, according to an IU press release. Increasing the number of students who study abroad is one of four major campaign

priorities, according to the IU Bicentennial website. Funds for study abroad scholarships are being matched by IU President Michael McRobbie this year. In 2017, students received more than $4.5 million in dedicated gift aid, according to an IU press release.

IU-Bloomington also admits a large population of study abroad students from other countries. According to the Open Doors Report, IUB received 6,872 study abroad students from 122 countries in 2017.

Anna Lindsay from Adelaide, South Australia, is one of the study abroad students.

Lindsay faced many adjustments when she came to Indiana. Living on her own is one of them.

In Australia, few students move away to go to university. Instead, they often live with their parents and attend colleges in their hometown, Lindsay said.

“I love the early-on independence the U.S. college system encourages,” she said.

Lindsay said the approach

to homework is different in America. In Australia, 70100% of your grade is based on exams only.

“I do like the system though because it is a great marker of an interactive and engaging style of teaching and learning,” she said.

Lindsay said she chose IU over other schools because she wanted to travel someplace she wouldn’t normally go.

“I really wanted a quintessential American college experience,” she said.

BFC talks curriculum improvements

By Joy Burton joyburt@iu.edu | @joybur10

The Bloomington Faculty Council met Tuesday to discuss ways to change the current general education program at IU. The council was split into 10 tables of seven to eight people. Students and faculty outside the council were invited to join the discussions.

The discussion lasted about 40 minutes. Representatives from each table shared their ideas for the rest of the meeting.

Christi Walton, a Kelley School of Business lecturer, said the general education classes should be more interdisciplinary rather than apply to just one school or program.

IZZY MYSZAK | IDS

Professor Kelly Williams speaks Dec. 3 in a roundtable discussion at the Bloomington Faculty Council meeting in Franklin Hall. Kelly is an assistant professor of special education in the School of Education.

“We want to make it easy to switch between majors,” Walton said.

Dan Myers, a graduate student studying geography, said there should be a

requirement for students to learn about environmental sustainability and technology such as Excel and Access.

Peter Kloosterman, an IU School of Education

professor, said the program should give students opportunities to take courses they might not otherwise take.

Kloosterman also said there should be improvements in the evaluation of general education course content, which was echoed among others at the meeting.

There was also debate over whether there should be an emphasis in the general education program on hard skills such as computing or soft skills such as problem-solving.

Many table representatives said general education classes should have fewer students to better meet individual needs.

The next Bloomington Faculty Council meeting is scheduled for Jan. 21.

Provost Lauren Robel presented six IU staff members with the 2019 Staff Merit Award on Wednesday in Presidents Hall in Franklin Hall.

The Staff Merit Awards are given out annually. Students and staff can write letters nominating staff members they feel deserve this award. More than 100 staff members were nominated for the awards this year, Robel said.

Professional staff received their awards first.

The first recipient was Ted Hardy, the facilities project manager of Residential Programs and Services.

Hardy has worked in the position for nine years and has been with IU for more than 30 years, Robel said.

Several of Hardy’s coworkers nominated him for the award. Some quotes from their letters were included in the event’s program.

They said Hardy is willing to take on increasing responsibilities in order to meet increased expectations.

“Ted has brought a wealth of knowledge, along with his tireless work ethic, to a variety of unites within RPS and IU,” said Larry Isom, Hardy’s supervisor, in his letter.

The second professional staff award was presented to Melissa Ritter. Ritter has been with IU for 33 years and has worked in the Division of Student Affairs and is now the director of budget and finance in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Robel said.

Ritter manages more than $22 million of research funds annually, operational costs, purchasing and salaries, department chair William Hetrick said.

“Melissa is highly competent, hardworking, reliable, compassionate and committed to the development and well being of the staff she supervises,” Hetrick said in his letter.

Two awards were also presented to members of the service staff. The first recipient was Sharon Blackfish. Blackfish is a custodian with building services who works in the Chemistry Building. In her 20 years with IU, Blackfish has had an almost perfect attendance record, according to the event’s program.

“Sharon has demonstrated that she knows all aspects of her job, and everyone who has had the privilege of working with her looks up to her as a mentor and has much respect for her,” said Jessica Hoene, Blackfish’s supervi-

sor, in her letter.

The second service staff member was Charlie Shepherd. Shepherd is a senior pool operator in facilities operations. He has been with IU for five years, Robel said. Shepherd is responsible for the condition of swimming pools and other aquatic features on campus.

Jennifer Wilkinson, an associate athletic trainer, said in her letter Shepherd also serves as a liaison and advocacy for the needs of the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. Shepherd’s supervisor Aaron Bechtel said in his letter Shepherd will fill in for coworkers whenever he can.

“He never fails to make himself available,” Bechtel said in his letter. “Whether it be an accident in a pool or a vandalized fish from Showalter Fountain, he is quick to respond.”

The final awards were given to members of IU’s support staff. The first recipient was Jacqueline Sue Harding, the program coordinator and uniform property custodian for IU’s Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps. Harding has been honored several times in her field, being named the Northeast Region Civilian of the Year in 2018 and the Air Force ROTC Headquarters University Employee of the Quarter, according to the event's program.

“Ms. Jackie is constantly going out of her way to ensure every cadet has what they need to be successful in the program,” said Brice Weathers, an IU alumnus and Air Force Reserves employee.

The final award was given to Sheryl Mobley.

Mobley is the senior office service assistant in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. In her 34 years, Mobley has seen typewriters, the first versions of Word and Excel come and go, according to the event's program.

One of Mobley’s major roles in her department is working with grant proposals. In order to make sure every application is processed, Mobley ensures she is up to date with any technology and regulations she is involved with, said James Craig, a distinguished professor emeritus in the department, in his letter.

“I can say with certainty that I would not have had as successful a career as I did without Sheryl’s help and support, the same is true for many others,” said Steven Sherman, chancellor’s professor emeritus in the Psychological and Brain Sciences Department.

FBI doesn’t do hundreds of thousands of gun checks From Tribune News Service WASHINGTON — The FBI never completes hundreds of thousands of gun background checks each year because of a deadline that requires it to purge them from its computers, despite a report that raised alarms about the practice in 2015.

The data obtained by CQ Roll Call, which has not been previously published, shows how the FBI still struggles to complete background checks four years after a breakdown in the system contributed to a shooting in Charleston, South Carolina, that left nine black churchgoers dead.

A 2015 internal report on what went wrong in that case recommended ways to decrease the number of background checks that take longer than 88 days. After that point, the FBI must purge checks from its computers.

That year, the bureau processed more than 8.9 million checks and never completed 200,360. That number rose in 2016 and 2017 before a slight dip last year, when the FBI processed 8.2 million checks but did not complete 201,323.

All told, the FBI did not complete more than 1.1 million background checks from 2014 through July 2019.

Since the data is purged, it's impossible to know how many of those people have purchased guns without a completed background check — or how many purchases would have been blocked if the background checks were complete.

"Based on this data, it would be illogical to argue that Americans are more safe today than they were in 2015," said W. Mullins McLeod Jr., who is representing several families of Charleston victims.

The families are suing the federal government over what they say was FBI negligence that allowed shooter Dylann Roof to buy a gun despite a previous drug arrest that should have prohibited him.

The FBI did not respond to a request for comment.

Gun background checks

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Frank Cobet, gunsmith of the Get Loaded gun store, shows a customer an AR-15 rifle Dec. 8, 2015, in Chino, California. The FBI struggles to complete hundreds of gun background checks each year because of a deadline that requires it to purge them from its computers.

are meant to ensure that people who can't legally buy a gun — such as people convicted of a felony or those under a restraining order — don't buy one from a licensed dealer.

The FBI can usually give the dealer an immediate answer.

But it has to delay about 11% of sales so it can do more research.

When that happens, the FBI has two big deadlines to contend with.

The first big deadline is three business days. After that, the dealer can sell the gun without a completed background check, though many large retailers choose not to.

This deadline is how Roof got his gun. Last year, 276,000 background checks took longer than three business days.

In at least 3,960 of those cases, the FBI later determined that the buyer couldn't legally own

a gun and asked the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to retrieve the weapon. The second big deadline is 88 days. After that, federal regulations and FBI policies require the bureau to stop researching a background check and purge the information from its computers.

The newly released data gives the first detailed look at how the FBI struggles to meet that 88-day deadline — information that is not included in the FBI's annual public report on gun background checks.

It adds to separate data the bureau released in March on how many background checks exceed the three-business-day deadline.

The internal report on the Roof case found that the bureau focused on background checks it could complete

quickly and paid "little attention" to checks that took longer than three business days. Little has changed since then, the newly released data shows. In 2015, almost 74% of checks that took longer than three business days were never completed. In 2018, that number was almost 73 percent. The newly released data also appears to reveal part of a trend that stretches back decades. A 2016 report by the Justice Department's inspector general found that the FBI did not complete 1.3 million background checks from fiscal year 2003 through May 2013 because they hit the 88-day mark.

In a statement, Kris Brown, president of the gun control advocacy group Brady, said that the newly released data underscores the need for Congress to lengthen the

three-business-day deadline and give the FBI more time to complete background checks.

"These numbers show that there has been no major statistical change — to the positive or negative — of default proceeds being cleared before the end of the NICS review period and records are purged from the system," Brown said, referring to the acronym for the gun background check system. "We have no way of knowing how many of those records where a background check did not come back resulted in the sale of a gun to someone who was a prohibited purchaser, but if even one did that is one too many."

Gun rights advocates have opposed changes to the current law, which they say would put an undue burden on legitimate gun purchasers.

The House passed a bill

in February, H.R. 1112, that would give the FBI more time to complete a background check before a dealer can proceed with a sale. A companion measure that also passed the House in February, H.R. 8, would expand gun background checks to private sales. Sen. Christopher S. Murphy, D-Conn., tried to get a voice vote on H.R. 8 last month, but Sen. Cindy HydeSmith, R-Miss., blocked the move.

Congressional Democrats were in negotiations with the White House over possible gun check legislation for months after a series of highprofile mass shootings, but those talks stalled after House Democrats launched their impeachment inquiry.

Where will IU go bowling?

By Caleb Coffman calcoffm@iu.edu | @CalCoff

When IU head coach Tom Allen first arrived in 2017, his word was “breakthrough.”

While the Hoosiers fell just short of breaking through into a bowl game in Allen’s first two seasons — losing the Old Oaken Bucket game to leave IU one win short both years — the third time was the charm as IU had its best season since 1993.

Now that the Hoosiers are set to go bowling, they are looking to match the program record with nine wins in a season by ending a 28-year postseason win drought.

The one question that awaits them is where are they headed, and who could they possibly play?

Music City Bowl (Dec. 30): One of the most likely landing spots for IU is Nashville, Tennessee, in the Music City Bowl.

For IU as a program, the Music City Bowl is likely the most desired bowl game for the Hoosiers to land in as it will allow the most access to IU’s fanbase with it only being a four-hour drive from Bloomington.

Entering into the season it was thought that the Atlantic Coast Conference would take the combined bid between the Big Ten and ACC, but the Music City Bowl President Scott Ramsey confirmed earlier this month that IU was in consideration.

The Music City Bowl also gives IU the potential for an appealing matchup against a Southeastern Conference opponent.

One of the projected matchups that has been thrown around by various news organizations, including ESPN, the past few weeks has been against the Uni-

versity of Kentucky. Kentucky basketball coach John Caliperi may refuse to play IU, but the Hoosiers may get a crack at their rival across the border for postseason bragging rights.

Gator Bowl (Jan. 2): The second of the two likely landing spots for IU’s bowl game is the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville, Florida. For the players, the Gator Bowl might be the most desired locations for the Hoosiers to land as IU sports 26 players on the roster from Florida.

“My whole family is going to be there, so it would be unbelievable,” junior receiver Whop Philyor said. “If we get the chance, I’d be so happy to play there. I don’t have to get back on a plane to go back home; I can just drive home.”

If IU finds themselves in sunny Florida, they would also be faced with a SEC opponent. Kyle Bonagura of ESPN projects the Hoosiers to be facing off against Mississippi State University in Jacksonville while the Athletic and the Sporting News have projected IU to meet up with the University of Tennessee in recent weeks.

in Yankee Stadium for its bowl game would be against Pitt, according to both the Orlando Sentinel and Mark Schlabach of ESPN. IU was in the Pinstripe Bowl back in 2015 when they fell to Duke University on overtime 4441. Maybe the Hoosiers will get a chance at revenge in the Big Apple.

Outback Bowl (Jan. 1): A long shot location for the Hoosiers is the Outback Bowl in Tampa, Florida.

As great as it may be to be dreaming of steaks and bloomin’ onions, the Outback Bowl is probably where IU would have ended up in other years when there isn’t a huge pile-up in the middle of the Big Ten standings, but not this year.

If IU was to get into the Outback Bowl, an SEC team would once again be waiting for it. The main name that has been tossed around to represent the SEC in the Outback Bowl has been Auburn University whose worse

Pinstripe Bowl (Dec. 27): Now we get into the possible but seems less likely category.

The Pinstripe Bowl in the Bronx was a popular pick for the Hoosiers throughout the season until the very end as IU earned its eighth win against Purdue.

It’s a real possibility — especially with the log-jam of Big Ten teams sitting between six and 10 wins — but IU would be just the third team ever to enter the Pinstripe Bowl with eight wins, the others being the University of Notre Dame in 2013 and Pittsburgh University in 2016.

Coincidentally, the projected matchup if IU was to find itself

loss was to No. 9 University of Florida.

Representatives for the Outback Bowl have come to see IU play this season but between IU’s resume and the teams above them like Minnesota, Iowa and Michigan, there’s just too much traffic in front of the Hoosiers to wind up in Tampa.

The Hoosiers seem destined to either be in Nashville or Jacksonville this holiday season, but other bowls aren’t out of the realm of possibilities as this year’s team looks win nine games for the first time since 1967 when the Hoosiers were in the Rose Bowl.

Devonte Green provides spark in win over FSU

IU men’s basketball proves doubters wrong in win over No. 17 Florida State

By Phillip Steinmetz psteinme@iu.edu | @PhillipHoosier

He couldn’t explain it.

For senior guard Devonte Green, it was just something he could feel.

His teammates see these types of performances from him in practices and he’s had high scoring games before, but nothing like this.

They tell him to keep shooting if it’s a good shot, but to him, every shot is a good shot.

No. 17 Florida State University didn’t have an answer for him. Each time he made a shot, the crowd of Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall would roar. Green scored a career-high 30 points off the bench to help the Hoosiers defeat the Seminoles 80-64 and remain undefeated on the season.

The performance didn’t come as a surprise for IU head coach Archie Miller or his teammates.

“Devonte Green was special tonight,” Miller said.

“There wasn't a whole lot of coaching that went into anything he did, as usual. When he's good, he's good on his own.”

Green hasn’t started a single game this season and still didn’t tonight but played the most minutes in the IU backcourt. When Green was on the sidelines, the offense was stagnant and struggling to find much of a rhythm.

With less than six minutes remaining in the first half, IU had a five-point lead with FSU continuing to stay close. That was until Green hit three 3-pointers within less than two minutes to help push IU’s lead to double-digits. It was an offensive spark that helped IU go on a 12-0 run.

In the prior two games,

Green made three 3-pointers in each, but he matched that in the first half alone against FSU. In the second half, the Seminoles made three 3-pointers themselves to remain within striking distance.

But when Green came back in around the 16-minute mark, he only had one thought — win the game.

In the second half, Green had a few bad pass turnovers that FSU took advantage of but still was the only IU player who was consistently hitting shots. At one point, IU had a 15-point lead, but it came down to two points in the second half.

But it was still Green who would hit shot after shot or make the pass that would help IU keep FSU from completing a comeback.

Toward the end of the game, Green went up for a final 3-pointer. He wanted the foul but didn’t get it. Instead, he made the shot. No one seemed surprised that the shot went in because it was the type of play he’s been making for a while now.

“I thought it was a foul, but if not, it's all right,” Green said. “It went in anyway.”

Before the season started, Miller called Green their most gifted offensive player.

With his team 8-0, it’s been tough to argue with that statement.

Green might not start a game this season, but IU will need these types of nights from him to become the team Miller wants them to be.

“Devonte's always been a guy, I think, that's wired to score,” Miller said. “He values it. He doesn't have a fear of things going bad because he's got to be out there. He's got to play.”

Caleb Coffman is a junior in sports media.

As the band played “If You’ve Got the Time” in the background, senior guard Devonte Green wrapped his arm around the neck of freshman guard Armaan Franklin as they bounded off the court following IU’s 80-64 victory over No. 17 Florida State University.

If you’re feeling a sense of déjà vu, it’s OK because you should be.

IU’s victory over FSU reads very similarly to its win over No. 24 Marquette University around the same time last season.

After a group of easy games in which IU looked good but not great, the Hoosiers came out prepared to play and executed at a high level as they pulled off the upset in front of a crowded Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

The glaring difference?

This year’s IU team doesn’t have any expectations that are even close to those from last year.

In fact, people would have been generally happy if the Hoosiers got a passing grade on their first test by hanging with the Seminoles rather than acing it with a commanding win.

“We’re going to win with trying to take care of the ball a little better,” IU head coach Archie Miller said. “We’re going to win by obviously getting to the foul line, we have to rebound like crazy and that happened tonight in a couple of areas and we were able to pull it out.”

Through IU’s first seven games, the constant theme was if the Hoosiers could put it all together and actually showcase their potential on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball.

IU was never able to showcase its full potential against the far inferior competition it faced early on but somehow was dangerously close against a tall and athlet-

ic FSU team that already has a top-25 win on its resume against the University of Tennessee and the University of Florida who was ranked seventh coming into the season.

On the defensive side of the court, the Hoosiers played their best game, and it wasn’t particularly close.

In the first half, IU held FSU without a field goal for over seven minutes as it turned an 11-4 deficit into an 18-12 lead.

Throughout the first half, IU ran FSU off the threepoint line — one aspect of defense it has struggled without throughout the early part of the season — and forced

14 turnovers.

The Hoosiers were finally able to stay in front of their man on drives and contest shots defensively — something that doesn't show up on the stat-sheet. Too often this season the IU defense has let its opponents turn the corner and get into the lane with minimal help-side defense to contest shots at the rim. Against FSU, the Hoosiers only allowed 28 points in the paint to the tallest team according to KenPom and recorded four blocked shots.

On offense, Green must have typed in the unlimited ammo cheat code he has tattooed on his arm as he

carried the load for IU with a career high 30 points on 10-for-15 shooting while making five threes in only 28 minutes. But it wasn’t just the senior who contributed.

The two freshmen on the team made themselves known as forward Trayce Jackson-Davis showed he wasn’t just able to beat up on lesser opponents. He scored 15 points and recorded eight rebounds in a near doubledouble performance. Franklin showed maturity as he scored nine points and only turned the ball over once against a long and athletic FSU defense.

The Hoosiers executed with ruthless efficiency as they made 55.6% of their shots and a season-high 46.7% from beyond the arc.

While doing the bare minimum before its first test of the season, IU not only passed but aced it with the best grade in the class.

“We were going to have a great opportunity tonight with our crowd behind us to play in that environment," Miller said. “I thought our guys rose to the occasion of the opponent and were ready to play.” calcoffm@iu.edu

drug supply,” Gray said.

Ball said the team’s research will also help them predict future drug quality problems.

“If you can predict future drug quality problems, then you can help prevent them,” Ball said.

Ball said the money for the contract will be used to compensate the researchers for their time on the project and to pay for potential data sets or other costs necessary to the research. Gray said the team meets weekly to work on the project, and they will create databases as a joint effort.

least not with Miller watching.

“Every shot is a good shot,” Green said.

He finished with a career high of 30 points, including a 5-7 mark from three.

“He was the best player on the floor tonight without question,” Miller said.

This was the one Miller wanted to win. It was a chance for IU to prove itself.

After a 7-0 start, facing all but one team ranked outside the top 200, Florida State allowed Miller and his team a chance to show it belonged. The potential and growth it showed throughout those first seven games were for real.

“You want to see what you’re made of, and I thought our guys rose to the occasion," Miller said.

When IU was outmatched in size, it proved it could rebound anyway, out rebounding Florida State 35-25. It cut off lanes for Florida State to get inside leading to travels, and on the other end IU got inside itself, leading to 38 free throws.

Throughout IU’s first seven games, Miller didn’t think his defense was where it needed to be. He wanted an elite defensive team, and he didn’t think he had it yet.

But Miller’s defense took the steps he had been searching for and stepped up against its toughest opponent.

IU held Florida State to 47% shooting and 37% from three.

Nearly everything Miller had asked his team to do in order to win a game like this, it did.

Trayce Jackson-Davis said.

“Well, you witnessed it, so I would just say that we just got to play hard and just do our thing.”

Tungesvick said he noted “minor improvements in height and browse activity.”

But after the deer were left alone in 2018, his measurements returned to 2016 levels. He said he doesn’t expect to see a major improvement until three to five consecutive years of deer removal.

“Deer management will always be a part of the park,” he said.

Cotter said he expects to use the CHAP grant to repeat the hunt next year, but he isn’t certain. The city could also pursue a deer reduction zone designation, which would allow individual hunters to kill more deer during the deer hunting season. Or they could hire another sharpshooter.

Uncontrollable factors likely affected this year’s outcome.

Rodts said rain and cold the second and third weekends probably deterred hunters who planned to participate. And the state reduced Monroe County’s deer harvest quota from five to three deer this year because of an outbreak of a deer disease called Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease.

Once a hunter shot two antlerless and one antlered deer, they had to stop.

Rodts said hunters told him they saw many more deer than the 26 they were able to shoot.

“I would’ve liked to harvest more deer,” Rodts said.

“There’s no question about that.”

MUSIC COLUMN

Here’s why you should care about Taylor Swift’s fight for musical liberation Hannah Johnson is a sophomore in journalism.

Wearing a men’s buttondown shirt stamped with the titles of her first seven albums, Taylor Swift kicked off her American Music Awards performance with a reminder that her life’s work belongs to, as she wrote on Tumblr, “men who had no part in creating it.” And flanked by eight young girls wearing shirts identical to hers, Swift sent a message that the female artists of the future are watching.

Ten days before the AMAs, where Swift was honored as Artist of the Decade, she didn’t know if she’d be able to perform a medley of her hit songs as she planned.

In a social media statement, Swift accused music industry tycoon Scooter Braun, who purchased most of Swift’s master recordings in June, and Scott Borchetta, head of her former record

label, of prohibiting her from singing the songs on TV that fall under their legal domain.

The statement is the latest in a highly public and messy battle between Swift and Braun and Borchetta.

Swift first alleged in June that she was never given the opportunity to buy her own masters and that the sale of her music transpired in an intentionally underhanded manner. As is customary of public reaction to news involving Taylor Swift, much backlash ensued toward both parties.

But many of Swift’s critics are missing the bigger picture, or rather, the bigger pictures — Swift’s fight for control of her labor-intensive catalogue is an artistic, political and feminist issue all embroiled into one.

Many critiques aimed at Swift were focused on the legalities of her dilemma. She signed a contract, therefore

she can’t complain when her music is subsequently commodified, right? But Swift is simply advocating for contractual agreements in which artists retain their autonomy. In fact, the singer has long been promoting the rights of artists, from her open letter to Apple Music, which was posted to her Tumblr but has since been taken down, to her negotiation with Universal Music Group, both of which won fairer pay rates for artists.

Swift’s contract, which she entered as a teenager, follows the industry’s standard model: artists trade ownership of their music in exchange for the label’s management of music sales.

These contracts, seemingly beneficial in the moment, notoriously impede artists’ abilities to make creative decisions.

At the very least, Swift wanted the chance to purchase her masters for her-

self. The haste with which her catalogue was sold, however, implies that corporate greed was more important to Braun and Borchetta than maintaining respect for Swift as an artist.

The involvement of private equity firm The Carlyle Group, which funded an unknown portion of Braun’s purchase, means that the situation is also relevant within a political context — so much so that Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have both weighed in.

Basically, private equity firms fund investments but become dangerous without regulation. As these become a focus of economic policies, Swift’s predicament gives celebrity appeal to a politically-charged matter.

In a society that proudly remembers Prince as a renegade who courageously fought to own his music, why must a modern day fe-

male artist of comparable stature fight just to be taken seriously?

Although Swift’s feminism leaves a lot to be desired — her white feminism and palpable silence during elections have not gone unnoticed — she has admirably spoken up about misogyny and defended herself against everything from sexist narratives to a very public sexual assault case.

Swift knows her status as one of the world’s most prominent stars makes her representative of women in the industry, which means that her case is a critically important fight for the well-being of female artists. While it’s true that both men and women are bound by restrictive recording contracts, the power gaps between female artists and male producers effectively trap women like Kesha, who is still legally bound to the music producer who alleg-

edly abused her.

Women are historically mistreated by male authority figures across all industries, but the confining nature of recording contracts legally prevents female artists from escaping such environments. In Swift’s case, it’s just saddening to see men wield this much control over a woman’s career in 2019.

If this is happening to figures as prominent as Swift and Kesha, what’s preventing worse things from happening to female artists with less power?

Swift plans to re-record her previous albums, but the fight for the rights of musicians and women in the industry forges ahead. Plenty before her have fought for similar things with varying degrees of success. But luckily for artists everywhere, Swift usually gets what she wants. hanjohn@iu.edu

JONAH’S JUSTIFICATIONS

Don’t be fooled, a public option is no single payer Jonah Hyatt is a junior in political science and philosophy

Within the very heated health care debate in the Democratic party, the two types of health care plans that are primarily put forth are either a public option such as Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s, D-Indiana, “Medicare For All Who Want It” or single-payer health care like Sen. Bernie Sanders’, I-Vermont, “Medicare For All.” These plans may be very hard to differentiate for most people especially considering the names are so similar. However, a public option is extremely different from a single-payer system.

A public option introduces a government health care plan into the private health insurance market with the aim of providing more coverage at a lower cost than other private insurance plans. Single-payer health care is where all citizens pay into a single government plan that provides universal coverage to all citizens with health care being free at the point of service.

The main difference is that a public option leaves the private health insurance market in place whereas a single-payer system bans duplicative care through private health care plans and removes the profitdriven incentive structure of privatized health insurance altogether, while still allowing for supplemental private

insurance if one so chooses.

A public option may cost less than current private health insurance plans, but single-payer will still be the more cost-effective option overall for the government and individual health care costs.

A public option will not curb rising health care costs because, unlike with a single-payer, having multiple insurance companies allows health care providers to refuse coverage unless your insurer pays out excessively high rents.This leads to higher co-pays, deductibles and premiums to compensate.

A single-payer can control costs by giving the health care providers a monopoly on access to patients which prevents the exploitation of poor patients for profit.

Under the current twotier system, poor Americans are stuck with poor quality health insurance which restricts them to poor quality health care providers who cannot make higher demands on coverage.

Even if cost was not an object for a public option, introducing a government option into the current private market will lead to this program becoming the insurance of last resort for most Americans.

Since the large private health insurance companies are still left in place, they will use their influ-

ence through lobbying and campaign contributions to ensure that the public option is crafted in a way that displaces most of the unhealthiest Americans off private plans and onto the public plan.

The large private insurance companies would still have control over the market, and they will do everything in their power to keep profits up and deny care whenever possible.

A single-payer system puts all Americans on the same plan which grants coverage for all necessary medical treatment, including dental, vision and hearing aids under Sanders’ and Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s, D-Washing-

ton, single-payer proposals.

The public option is put forth as a solution which preserves choice in health care, but this could not be further from the truth. A public option would not allow Americans to see their preferred doctors because they may still be “out of network,” and it does not sever the tie between employers and health insurance.

The reality is that a single-payer system provides the most choice because all Americans are covered all under the same network, allowing Americans to choose any doctor because they will all accept the government plan.

It would also not force Americans to stay with a particular

employer because they like their health insurance.

Americans don’t like their health insurance; they like their doctors and hospitals. Preserving “choice” in health insurance makes no sense, it would be the equivalent of preserving “choice” of fire department or police department when calling 911. The choice that Americans want is choice of health care provider, something that is universally granted to everyone under a single-payer system.

The question that Americans want answers to by these plans is how will this drive down health care costs?

Single-payer is proven to be the cheaper solution and it

gives Americans the most freedom in their healthcare decisions. Not to mention that a single-payer system is the only system that will provide universal coverage.

Implementing a public option is merely a half-measure which will serve to keep the for-profit middlemen health insurance companies in place. A public option will only erode current government health care programs rather than expand them to help all Americans.

The push for universal health care coverage is an uphill battle and we cannot stop short with watered down plans like a public option. hyattj@iu.edu

Empire no longer: the United States’ territories need full rights

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Nearly one week after Hurricane Maria devastated the island of Puerto Rico, residents were still trying to get the basics of food, water, gas and money from banks. More than two years later, the island’s infrastructure is at a breaking point.

Kyle Linder is a junior in journalism

Today, 3.6 million taxpaying Americans are without the right to vote, lack meaningful representation in Congress and receive little recognition from their government or compatriots. These American citizens constitute the United States’ far-reaching overseas territories, namely Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands.

It is unconscionable that the U.S. maintains these territories as relics of its own imperialism and actively treats their inhabitants as second-class citizens. All U.S. territories must be granted either independence or statehood, in accordance with the desires of the territory. To do otherwise is to continue to betray America’s founding principles of equality and justice for all.

U.S. expansionism began almost immediately as our country brutally removed, assimilated or killed any Native American in its path westward.

Once the country could sing “from sea to shining sea,” it began to look past its own coastlines. In the dwindling Spanish Empire in the Caribbean and Pacific, American imperialists saw an opportunity. Under President McKinley, they seized it and declared war on Spain, invading Puerto Rico, Cuba and eventually the Philippines.

By the end of the Spanish-American War in 1899, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Philippines, Hawaii and briefly Cuba were all U.S. possessions. Under the following two presidents, Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft, U.S. imperialism continued its march outward and its brutal repression of independence movements in already-acquired territories.

Anti-imperialist sentiment in the U.S. was buoyed

by African Americans, labor opposition and writers such as W.E.B. Du Bois and Mark Twain. However, they could not halt its progress.

“It is a sorry, though true, fact that whatever this government controls, injustice to dark races prevails,” Lewis H. Douglass said in his 1899 essay “Black Opposition to McKinley.” “The people of Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and Manila know it well as do the wronged Indian and outraged black man in the United States.”

In 1900, Germany and the U.S. agreed to split Samoa between themselves.

Today, the German half is independent Samoa, while the other remains American Samoa. The U.S. purchased the Virgin Islands from Denmark in 1917, and it conquered the Northern Mariana Islands during World War II, recognizing them as a territory in 1986.

The imperial ambitions of late-19th and early-20th century America reverberates in very concrete ways with the millions still under territorial status today.

With the exception of American Samoa, those born in territories are granted U.S. citizenship. In direct contradiction to the 14th Amendment, however, they cannot vote in presidential elections, are each only allowed one non-voting member in the House of Representatives and completely lack any representation in the Senate.

Meanwhile, Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska and North Dakota elect eight senators altogether, despite having a combined population of half a million less than Puerto Rico’s. Aside from Vermont, each of these states claimed territorial status at one point in their history as well.

The devastation inflicted on Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands by Hurricanes Maria and Irma in 2017 was a

tragedy in itself. The U.S. government’s response, though, was criminally cynical and highlighted the deep-seated apathy it holds towards its territorial citizens.

“I think that Puerto Rico was an incredible, unsung success,” President Donald Trump said after nearly 3,000 Puerto Ricans died on his watch during Hurricane Maria.

Compared to the work done in Florida and Texas, also affected by the hurricanes, recovery in the territories has been slow and relatively ineffectual. It took Congress nearly two years after the hurricanes to release federal aid to the islands. Additionally, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has funded only 190 projects in Puerto Rico and 218 in the U.S. Virgin Islands, while allocating funds for 3,700 projects in both Florida and Texas.

It is difficult to view these policies as anything but a belief that the government

has no obligation to the welfare of its territorial citizens; rather, it acts as though the territories are privileged to receive any assistance from their benevolent occupiers.

Never mind the fact that the federal government’s aid has done little to rebuild infrastructure, ensure access to food and water, or provide additional safety measures against the looming threat of more natural disasters.

This sort of paternalistic relationship between the U.S. and its territories can be traced back to the first justifications of its imperialism.

“They are not capable of self-government,” Sen. Albert J. Beveridge said of the Philippines in 1900. “How could they be? They are not of a self-governing race.”

Alongside several American endeavors, such as the genocide of Native Americans, slavery, Jim Crow and a militarized Southern border, U.S. imperialism planted roots in the soils of white supremacy. One does not need to look past the current conditions of Native American reservations, the mass incarceration of American minorities, white supremacist terrorist attacks or the separation of families at the border to understand that our history haunts and pervades American society.

As with these present realities, the fate of citizens living within U.S. territories is inextricably linked to the past.

Overt racists and decided imperialists created the U.S. system of empire more than one hundred years ago, deciding once more who should be excluded from the Constitution’s promises.

When we hear a ghost whispering from within the American psyche and into the halls of Congress or the Oval Office “They are not of a self-governing race,” we must demand to finally prove that vilely racist statement wrong and not let it go unchallenged for another 120 years. kylinder@iu.edu
