A young girl covered her ears at the sound of the 21 gun salute which broke the silence at the dedication of the 9/11 memorial at Ivy Tech Community College. Police, firefighters and families were gathered early Sunday morning in memory of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The day is still present in most people’s minds. Americans remember where they were when they heard the news about the attacks, Ellettsville firefighter Travis Abrams said. Abrams said he was painting when he heard that two planes had crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center. SEE IVY TECH, PAGE 6

MEN’S SOCCER

Hoosiers draw in Big Ten opener By Josh Eastern jeastern@indiana.edu | @JoshEastern

The last three minutes. With the lead, they can feel like an eternity. Facing a deficit, they can feel like a blur. Both IU’s men’s soccer team and a visiting Maryland squad bombarded balls into the box all night, and with junior defender and AllAmerican, Grant Lillard, out due to a suspension, the No. 4 Hoosiers knew they needed to scrap for anything they could get. IU was just three minutes away from its first win over the No. 5 Maryland Terrapins since 2004, but Alex Crognale’s 87th minute equalizer ended the match in a 1-1 extra time draw. “I thought it was another classic Indiana-Maryland game,” IU Coach Todd Yeagley said. “Back and forth, but tonight we had the better quality chances, and Andrew (Gutman) was unlucky not to have three on the night. The ball was bouncing around the box and it just didn’t find its way.” It was Richard Ballard who got SEE IUMS, PAGE 6 NO. 4 IU, 1 NO. 5 MARYLAND, 1 Goals: Ballard 7’ Crognale 87’

Locals rally against Dakota pipeline By Bryan Brussee bbrussee@umail.iu.edu

You could hear the pounding drums and pulsing chants from blocks away. Get closer, and you could smell the smoke. Students, Bloomington residents and Native American activists descended Sunday on the Sample Gates to rally against the Dakota Access Pipeline and demonstrate solidarity for the North Dakota Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. The rally followed news Saturday the United States government would temporarily halt work on the Dakota Access Pipeline after concerns were raised regarding the pipeline’s proximity to land considered sacred by Native Americans and a lake the Standing Rock Sioux rely on for clean water. Bloomington resident Taylor McCart organized the rally. After contacting Chief Michael of the Four Nations Sundance Native American community, word spread fast and attracted out-of-towners. In all, more than 100 people turned up, many of whom brought with them vested interests in the

Pipeline. The Dakota Access Pipeline is a nearly 1,200 mile, 30-inch-diameter pipeline set to connect oil production sites at Bakken and Three Forks, North Dakota, to Patoka, Illinois. It will also cut through South Dakota and Iowa. Among those coming to Bloomington specifically for the rally was Native American actor and producer Matthew Black Eagle Man. Hailing form Manitoba, Canada, he used the rally as an opportunity to speak frankly on the relationship between Native Americans and the U.S. government. “When is the genocide against my people going to stop?” said Black Eagle Man. The applause and whooping in response to that question was some of the loudest heard all afternoon. Laura Reagan, a third-generation member of the American Indian Movement, was particularly concerned about the potential for water pollution. “This is not just a native issue,” Reagan said. “If that pipeline breaks, it will poison the water supply for millions of people within

minutes.” In 10 minutes, oil from a pipeline break would reach the water intake for the entire Standing Rock nation, she said. According to the Dakota Access Pipeline website, a top priority of the pipeline is to protect landowner

interests and the local environment. Recent clashes with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe suggest a different story. Traveling activist Carl Broken Leg is only one of many skeptics. “It’s all about money for them,” SEE PIPELINE, PAGE 6

Comedian Minhaj talks multicultural America By Mallory Haag mjhaag@umail.iu.edu | @malloryhaag

For comedian Hasan Minhaj, comedy is about sending a message and building a relationship with the audience. Minhaj, known for his work with “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” and the web series “The Truth with

Hasan Minhaj,” performed his oneman show “Homecoming King” at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater on Sunday night. The critically acclaimed production detailed Minhaj’s life and experiences and often jumped back and forth between heartfelt confessions to the audience and comic relief.

Minhaj used his family’s challenges and successes to paint a humorous picture of what individuals face today on all sides of racism, prejudice and everyday difficulties. “I think satire is the only thing where you have the opportunity to break down someone’s argument and show how ridiculous it is,” Minhaj said. “If you can make

them laugh, you can really drop their guard for just a moment.” The show addresses everything from life as a Muslim American after Sept. 11, 2001, to time spent on a Pizza Hut commercial. He invites the audience to laugh with him SEE MINHAJ, PAGE 6
