If you’re reading this, I want to say thank you. Because without you, the Indiana Daily Student would be nothing. This semester, the IDS staff tried to focus on you, the readers. We attempted to answer your questions and provide coverage you both wanted and needed to read. We started a discussion on campus sexual assault by sharing our own stories and yours. We investigated questions of consent and challenged the University on their own sexual misconduct policies. We sat in a courtroom and shared the sentencing details of Daniel Messel, who was convicted of murdering IU student Hannah Wilson. We reported until 3 a.m. as Donald Trump was elected president and documented the aftermath of this historically divided election. And near the end of the semester, we investigated allegations of abuse against former IU head coach Kevin Wilson. We were far from perfect, but I want to thank all of the readers who stuck with us and provided our reporters and editors with both support and critiques. We couldn’t have done it without you, and I look forward to seeing what the Indiana Daily Student does next semester under our next editor-inchief, Hannah Alani. Please continue to provide us with suggestions, critiques and encouragement as we cover this campus and community. We couldn’t do it without you.

Tom Allen leaps ranks to IU head football coach By Taylor Lehman | trlehman@indiana.edu | @TaylorRLehman
T
om Allen and Mike Kirschner stood side-byside at the 2007 American Football Coaches Association Convention. The Ben Davis High School coaches — Allen the head coach, Kirschner his offensive coordinator — had just finished their seventh year together in Indianapolis with Hall of Fame coach Dick Dullaghan having passed the baton to Allen in 2004. Kirschner had just broken the news to Allen that he was interested in taking a job he’d been offered elsewhere. But Allen told him to reconsider. The successor to the legendary Dullaghan was moving on after three
seasons and a 25-12 record. Wabash College had offered him a defensive coordinator position. After 15 years, Allen was leaving high school football. * * * Sixteen-year-old John Stansell was moving into Oxford, Indiana, with his family in the late 1970s. Oxford, a town of less than 1,000 residents at the time, was also home to the Allens — Tom, Janet and their three children Nathan, Christy and Tommy. The family of five lived across the street, and before Stansell ended his first conversation with Tom, he’d already been asked to play for the local
high school football team. The Benton Central Bison were the pride of the Allen family. Stansell agreed, and that’s how he came to know Tommy, the 7-yearold kid who ran water to players and sprinted along the sidelines to pick up footballs for the officials during games. Anything to be around his dad and the football team, Stansell said. Tom was a strong and silent coach who knew how to motivate and teach his players. “All the players knew when Coach Allen turned his BC football hat around backwards, he was getting mad, and he was about to come into

Artists present 48 years of Christmas cards By Sanya Ali siali@indiana.edu | @siali13
Local artist Gary Anderson has been hand painting signs for the community for a number of years, and one of his notable works sits at the entrance of the Farmer House Museum. This piece of artwork, a brown background with Anderson’s distinct textual style, will now be accompanied by his most recent work, a collection of handmade Christmas cards created over the past 48 years. The Farmer House Museum will celebrate the holiday season with a combination of new and classic programming and a festive display in its gallery space. The space’s Bellevue Gallery, one of a few rooms in the old house that serve as the setting for more contemporary works, is decorated with
a Christmas tree in the corner and Anderson’s cards along the wall. The cards are grouped by decade, starting with one from the 1960s up through the 2010s. Anderson’s “48 Years of Christmas Cards” will be up at the museum through the month of December. The artist and sign maker began the project years ago as a college lithography or plate printing assignment and has continued making the cards along with his wife, Linda. Paul Kane, volunteer and artistin-residence at the space, said the exhibit represents more than just the identity of the artist. The small greeting cards range in imagery from ornate designs to pop culture figures and more. “It’s not only a personal biography for Gary, but it’s also like a

IU student to provide treatment for refugees By Emily Miles elmiles@iu.edu | @EmilyLenetta
IU junior Humam Yousef spent much of his childhood in Syria and returned every year until 2011, when war made the trip too dangerous. Now, with work in Syria off the table, he is on his way to Greece for a Syrian American Medical Society mission to help refugees. “I’ve always worked in public health,� Yousef said. “I’ve always worked in medicine, so when I see people who are from the same country as me, same country as my parents, there’s this really great desire to go and give back.� Yousef and his father, a primary care physician, leave Friday for two weeks of providing refugees with triage care, administering medications and interpreting for fellow volunteers who don’t speak Arabic. According to the SAMS website, the organization works in four official camps in northern Greece and provides primary health care for up to 3,500 refugees of about 60,000 in the country. Though the father and son had no trouble deciding to go, the preparation process since that decision has been fraught. “I’ve always watched the SAMS volunteer videos, and I wanted to do it so badly,� Yousef said. “I just didn’t
think it would be possible, particularly with me being busy here over the summers with both work and school.â€? The neuroscience major currently works as a medical assistant with Riley Physicians, volunteers with Bloomington’s Volunteers in Medicine and spends his weekends in Evansville, Indiana, as an emergency medical technician. The only time for a mission would be winter break. Toward the beginning of the semester, Yousef wrote a rĂŠsumĂŠ for his father, who never needed one before. He sent copies of certifications and his passport to SAMS, and the organization expressed excitement at having him. Yousef worked to secure donated medications from local hospitals and EMS agencies only to find out the Greek government would take them away at the airport. And then the age and experience requirements changed. Yousef received an email Sept. 30. He learned his age was a concern, and SAMS Global Response wanted him to clarify why he should be allowed to go. “It was kind of embarrassing,â€? Yousef said. “I had to sort of spout my credentials out to them. I know I’m 20 years old, but look at what I’ve done.â€?

IU junior Humam Yousef sits outside the Indiana Memorial Union. He plans to leave Friday for a 2-week medical mission to help Syrian refugees.
They said they would get back to him. Yousef reached out to mission coordinators and physicians who could vouch for his competence, and SAMS eventually accepted him. He said he believes he’ll be the youngest volunteer on the ground there. “I’m wondering a little
bit how they’re going to perceive that, some of the other volunteers,� Yousef said. “I think having my father with me there, though, will help with any sort of anxieties or help with any uncertainty when it comes to my role there. He’ll help guide me.� Yousef’s other greatest concern is the non-physical element of providing medi-
IUSA passed two bills this semester By Chris Mura cmura@umail.iu.edu | @chris__mura
The IU Student Association Congress met six times this semester to vote and had almost as many committee meetings to draft and amend bills representatives would vote on. At the end of the semester, Congress had passed just two bills that directly affect students. The bills passed were a resolution from the Student Life committee that moved to allow students to carry pepper spray in Assembly Hall and a resolution that would work with IU language departments and centers on campus to create a more formal resource base for international students struggling with English. “I think that Congress could have done a lot more,� said George Pearcy, parliamentarian and off-campus representative for Congress. “I think that bureaucracy got in the way of a lot of those ideas being passed.� During the congressional session last school year, representatives passed seven bills during the fall semester and 16 bills that did not have to do with IUSA housekeeping, such as appointments to Congress or amendments to the budget, according to Congress’ Canvas site. This semester several bills that might have been passed were tabled instead as a way to hold them over until they can be amended to have a more concrete action plan. Pearcy said he feels the use of a tabling vote can create red tape and suspend a bill in limbo instead of moving forward to benefit IU. A bill he co-sponsored and that sought to increase resources that students could use to report and move past hate crimes was tabled at the last voting meeting of the semester.

(From left to right) Sarah Masterson, Libby Gress, and Quinn Gordon pay attention to the IU Student Association Congress discussion prior to appointing the Election Commission members Sept. 28. Over the course of the semester, IUSA Congress only passed two bills that did not deal with internal appointments or proceedings.
“Congress seems to want a lot of details,� Pearcy said. “On one hand, they’re taking Congress too seriously, but on the other hand in doing that they’re focusing too much on details rather than on the goal, which is to increase the quality of student life here at IU.� Other representatives said they think that low number of successful bills this semester isn’t so much a symptom of bureaucracy as it is a step toward higher quality legislation in the spring semester. “A huge positive of this year’s Congress is that it’s not just necessarily passing bills left and right,� said Brandon Sakbun, adviser to the vice president of Congress. “The direction we’re really pushing the legislative branch of IUSA is one that really comes out not just making statements but backing them up and seeing them through.� Sakbun said it was more important for representa-
tives to take ownership of their bills and include parts that could be followed up on rather than presenting a grand plan that makes no progress. “Numerically there are not as many resolutions passed yet,� he said. “But the quality of the resolutions I bet we pass this next legislative session will be tenfold better than some of the ones you’ve seen these past couple years. They really want to take that next step to help the student population.� The number of active Congress members may play a role in the number of bills that get presented and passed. Since several representatives stepped down or were removed for inactivity, there has been a deficit for several months. During some voting meetings, only the bare minimum of representatives necessary to call a vote was met. “Communication in general is a problem in Con-
gress,� Pearcy said. “Right now we have 20 or 24 open seats. We were told it was a priority to fill those seats, but since the first week of November, none of them have been filled. When bills are passed, it is difficult for students to access them. Though they are supposed to be uploaded to the Congress website, only the language access bill is available, and the rest are from the 2014-15 school year. However, representatives remain hopeful that the spring semester will bring change and an influx of properly structured bills. “The greatest accomplishment this semester is putting themselves in a position for success next semester,� Sakbun said. “We’re on the right track to take the next step on a lot of issues that we should have gotten this semester. There’s quality people out there trying to do the right thing.�

Fraternities and sororities are exempt from IU’s non-discrimination policy for student organizations under Title IX, which says sexual misconduct, including harassment and discrimination, is prohibited under the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities and Conduct and the University’s Sexual Misconduct policy. However, Panhellenic Association president Maggie Reisdorf said delegates to PHA’s executive council were encouraged to start having conversations about inclusion and acceptance of transgender women within their chapters before Thanksgiving break. Reisdorf said it is currently understood that women can go through the PHA recruitment process, but nothing specifically states what defines a woman. PHA at IU is interpreting those rules as anyone who identifies as a woman. Of the 26 national sororities in the National Panhellenic Conference, only three have formal, public policies with language that is inclusive of transgender women. Two of those sororities, Delta Gamma and Kappa Kappa Gamma, have chapters at IU. Presidents

of the two chapters did not respond to requests for comment. PHA does not have the power to govern the policies of individual chapters, so decisions about transgender membership during the recruitment process would be left to individual chapters as well as their national or international organizations. Reisdorf said PHA’s encouragement of this dialogue had several motivating factors, including the national conversation about gender identity and conversations she had about transgender membership with Lori Reesor, vice provost for student affairs and dean of students. To Reisdorf’s knowledge, no transgender women have been through PHA recruitment at IU, she said. However, the registration process for recruitment does not require that women disclose their gender identities, she said. “There has been lot of dialogue on both sides,� Reisdorf said. “There are some people who want to be protective of their members and come in with reservations about the biological anatomy aspect of somebody living in the houses, but in a lot of the con SEE RUSH, PAGE 3

Chapter president Bryant Hayes said increasing conversations about transgender membership in greek life is a good thing because a lot of queer people assume greek life is not open to them. “A lot of people say they didn’t know they could be trans and in greek life until they heard about us, so it’s something I wish would be more widespread in both IFC and Panhellenic,” Hayes said. Hayes said he does not see similar conversations and policies happening for the Interfraternity Council in the near future. He said Sigma Phi Beta started as a chapter under IFC but moved after realizing it was not the most fitting place for them. “They weren’t overtly not accepting, but we didn’t feel super comfortable there last

semester, so we switched to the Multicultural Greek Council for a more inclusive atmosphere,” Hayes said. Hayes said breaking down stereotypes around greek life is important, and a lot of chapters at IU have worked to
do that and tried to be more inclusive. “I think first just having these conversations with your chapter and making sure everyone is competent on how to talk about trans people and trans issues is important,”
Hayes said. “That way if a trans person does rush and they open up about that, they’re not gonna get any negative or ignorant reactions.” Sabrina Jones, a member of Alpha Sigma Alpha and the incoming vice president
of chapter development for PHA, said building curriculum for student organizations as a diversity and inclusion intern for Student Life and Learning motivated her to figure out how she could integrate that work into Panhellenic sororities. Jones said most greek organizations hold values such as inclusion, respect and kindness, and organizations emphasizing those values can help encourage more transgender women to go through PHA recruitment. Theta Phi Alpha is one sorority Jones said reached out to PHA to ask for programming related to transgender membership. She, along with other PHA’s executive council members, planned the program to educate members on gender identity and help them examine how their organization’s values apply to the topic. “That program was a kind of prototype for us to learn how to build programs for other chapters, and we’re hoping it’s something we’ll be able to do for each individualized chapter,” Jones said.
Computer-based biology studies rice By Hussain Ather sather@umail.iu.edu | @SHussainAther
Volker Brendel, professor of biology and computer science, looks at strings of numbers on a dark computer screen. Behind the data lie the solutions to hunger and malnutrition. At the crossroads of computer science and biology, bioinformatics scientists use software to study genetics down to the nucleotide — a single base of DNA. Brendel, recently named a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, uses a mix of experimental and computational work to study rice genetics with the hopes of addressing global issues in hunger and malnutrition. “The plant breeders and the plant genomics scientists are working together
really heavily to figure out what are the sensible approaches to potentially increase the yield and in particular to make the plants more resistant to stresses,” Brendel said. Working with rice researchers from Iowa to the Philippines, Brendel studies the genomes — the genetic material of an organism — that make each plant the way it is. Plants, sensitive to changes in their environment, respond to these changes depending on their biological makeup. “Even a small change in temperature will bring in different tolerances in plants,” Brendel said. As the worldwide population increases and the amount of arable land available doesn’t, scientists like Brendel work to make rice
resistant to these stresses and, in turn, increase the crop’s yield. In bioinformatics, experimental scientists extract DNA from crops in the lab and upload the information to computer databases. Computational scientists then use software and data analysis to study the biological phenomena, such as proteins that control genetic expression or locations of DNA transcription into RNA — a precursor to proteins. One such computational method, RNA-Seq, studies the RNA from experimental samples to identify areas of genetic expression in DNA. Brendel uses RNA-Seq to compare genetic expression between salt-resistant and salt-tolerant rice to figure out what genetically makes these plants different. With the immense size
of these genomes, each 300 million nucleotides, Brendel’s lab harnesses the power of computers. “The Chinese have sequenced 3,000 rice genomes,” Brendel said, “Overall there are 150,000 in the world.” Brendel said scientists are still figuring out the best ways to analyze these 3,000 genomes. “For a particular biologist this is a treasure trove but they have no idea what to do with it,” Brendel said. Taylor Raborn, a postdoctoral researcher in the lab, helped introduce the lab to experimental work two months ago. “In order to investigate the problems you wanna investigate, you have to be close to the sources of the data,” Raborn said. Raborn studies methods
to identify promoters, areas of DNA that begin transcription, and, in turn, where genetic expression is controlled. Improving on previous studies, Raborn has worked to study the promoters for genes in plant growth with precision. Brendel encourages undergraduate science students to learn basic computer programming as early as possible. In addition to access to online data of plant genomes or biological features, Brendel said students should learn how to perform data analysis using computational software. “We have the compute facilities that make all of this possible,” Brendel said about IU’s research resources. “We get all the help you can think of.

Her studies in Seville, Spain, were also been an influential part of her Spanish career. “It was my first real immersive international experience,” Yde said. “I learned so much more and had a breakthrough with my fluency. There is so much to learn from being somewhere else, using the language and learning its context.” Theresa Spech, another award recipient, studied abroad in Santiago, Chile, where she participated in a health studies program where she did observations and took a medical class in Spanish. “I absolutely love the fact that language opens doors to be able to communicate,” Spech said. Spech has been involved with the Spanish theater group Teatro Vida at IU in acting and directing capacities. She also has experience volunteering as an interpreter for a food pantry and crisis center. Students who receive the award must also plan to use Spanish or Portuguese in their future careers. Both of these recipients want to pursue a higher education and use Spanish with their jobs. While studying abroad in Chile, Spech noticed the places where she observed were incredibly understaffed. She said she saw a need for people equippedwith Spanish and medical skills. With a double major in biochemistry and Spanish, Spech wants to attend medical school and use Spanish within the community to serve populations that need Spanish translation. Yde said she plans to return to Seville to teach English and get her Ph.D in molecular biology. She wants to be a professor and would like to have bilingual abilities in her classroom. “Spanish is really a pretty global language,” Yde said. “There are so many different cultures associated with it.”

Parking commission approved despite veto By Dominick Jean drjean@indiana.edu | @Domino_Jean
The Bloomington City Council has elected to create a parking commission to create and review a comprehensive parking plan in Bloomington. In a seven-to-one vote, the city council approved the creation of the parking commission Nov. 2. However, the matter was sent back to the council after Mayor John Hamilton vetoed the proposal. Hamilton said the issue of parking in Bloomington is of vital interest to the city, but said he would prefer to combine existing committees and commissions. “I appreciate and agree that this issue merits attention and additional study and review,” Hamilton said in a letter to the council. “I would encourage a joint effort in reviewing the values of these bodies prior to adding a thirty-eighth to the list.” Bloomington has more than 30 boards, committees and commissions. Each of these groups require at least some administrative support, and Hamilton, in a letter to the council, said he is not sure if the creation of a wholly new board would be feasible. “While adding one more commission may not itself seem a significant drain on staff resources, collectively the total number of hours
committed to staffing these groups is very substantial,” Hamilton said in his letter. Bloomington City Council member Steve Volan proposed the creation of the parking commission at the Nov. 2 meeting and said parking in Bloomington has no organized or comprehensive plan, according to notes taken from a previous City Council meeting. “Parking has no obvious point person,” Volan said. “There is no one person tasked with parking, no parking ‘czar.’” The main goal of the Parking Commission would be to form a comprehensive plan for the parking situation in Bloomington and to do so in the most effective manner possible, Volan said at the meeting. “Without this new commission, we as a city will continue to make parking decisions arbitrarily, in fits and starts, and without coherent rationale,” Volan said according to the Nov. 2 minutes. The parking commission would also be able to recommend parking meter rates and where funds from those meters would go, but would not necessarily have the final say. The rates and the funds from parking meters would not be set by the new commission, rather the group would act in an advisory mode for the city administration and for the mayor, Volan said.
DOMINICK JEAN | IDS
The City of Bloomington has created a new parking commission to review current parking policies and to create a comprehensive plan for Bloomington parking. Bloomington is seeking applicants from various parts of the city to fill that commission.
After Hamilton’s veto, the proposal was kicked back to the City Council, who reapproved the commission once more. The City Council reapproved the proposal Nov. 16 with a vote of nine in favor of the motion and none against. The parking commission is now seeking members to fill vacancies on its board.

Indiana State Police arrested Melanie Metzman, 22, Saturday for operating while intoxicated. She is

alcohol content was between .08 and .15. She has since paid bail and is no longer in jail.
Snow removal encouraged by city ordinance, fines As the temperature drops, the Bloomington Housing and Neighborhood Development Department is encouraging Bloomington residents to keep sidewalks and ramps clear of snow and ice. Bloomington Communications Director Mary Catherine Carmichael said in a Dec. 9 press release HAND wants to make sure residents are aware of the ordinance and the fines to which someone could be liable if they do not clear their sidewalks. “Not complying with this ordinance could result in significant injuries to pedestrians commuting throughout the community and potential fines for property owners,” Carmichael said in the press release. While the City of Bloomington’s Street Department is responsible for the streets of the city, owners are responsible for their own property. If sidewalks and ramps are not cleared within 24 hours of snow or ice fall, property owners are liable to receive a fine. “It shall be the duty of every owner of any premises abutting a sidewalk in all
parts of the city to remove, or cause to be removed, all snow and ice from the sidewalk,” according to the City of Bloomington municipal code, chapter six. The monetary fines are incremental throughout the winter, according to the release. The first fine is $50, the second is $100 and all fines after are $150 each. HAND will start its enforcement of the ordinance in the downtown snow removal area and around Bloomington schools. The amount of space which has to be clear for pedestrians in the downtown snow removal area is the width of the sidewalk or a path less than 54 inches. A few tips for those who will be shoveling or clearing snow were also included in the recent press release. Residents are encouraged to break away heavy ice or snow with an ice chipper or straight-edged hoe so as not to damage the sidewalk, according to the press release. Those clearing the sidewalks should also consider laying a layer of salt down first to improve traction and remove some ice. HAND recommend-

Ryan Cobine, a member of the Traffic Commission who was present at the meeting, said the commission was a “straightforward remedy” to a problem facing Bloomington, according to council minutes. “This is a great opportunity for City residents to be more involved in local government,” Lucas said.

Bloomington residents are encouraged to keep sidewalks and ramps clear of snow and ice to keep the area safe and to avoid fines that come from not keeping those areas clean.

Since Nov. 9, Presidentelect Donald Trump has started to announce the various people who will take positions in his Cabinet. The Cabinet’s role is to advise the president on any subject he or she may find necessary relating to the duties of each member’s respective office. The Cabinet includes the vice president and the heads of 15 executive departments — the Secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, Veterans Affairs and the Attorney General. Some positions, such as White House chief of staff and the ambassador to the United Nations, also have a cabinet seat. So far, 17 of these positions have been announced by the Trump campaign. Reince Priebus- White House chief of staff Priebus is the current chairman of the Republican National Committee. Through his position as an insider in Washington politics, Priebus is geared to help Trump understand the inner workings and personnel of the West Wing. Stephen K. Bannon- chief strategist Bannon is a media executive of Breitbart News. This pick was controversial due to his history of anti-semitic comments through his publication and in relation to the divorce of his former wife, Mary Louise Piccard, a former investment banker.

He has been a huge supporter of Trump throughout his campaign. His position will entail being the liaison between the Department of State, the Pentagon and other agencies.

tax-code writing and the overseeing of the Internal Revenue Service. James N. Mattis- Defense secretary Mattis is a retired Marine who served in Iraq in 2003. He is still awaiting Senate confirmation for his position and will need a waiver from Congress to serve in the position because he has not been out of the military for more than seven years. Mattis is known to be a staunch opponent of the Obama administration. Wilbur Ross- Commerce secretary Ross is an investor and former banker. He previously served under President Bill Clinton on the board of the U.S.-Russia Investment Fund.

This position focuses on affordable housing options for citizens. Carson has no former experience in the housing market whatsoever. Elaine L. Chao- Transportation secretary Chao was the labor secretary in the George W. Bush administration. This position is in charge of infrastructure within the country. Chao is also married to current Senate majority leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky.
Betsy DeVos- Education secretary DeVos is the former chairperson for the Michigan Republican Party. DeVos grew up going to private school and has ties to the Reform Christian community. The Trump administration has said it wants to stray away from the department and focus on curriculum-based research. John F.

He will be in charge of the proposed wall to be built on the southern boarder of the country. Scott Pruitt- EPA administrator Pruitt is the Oklahoma attorney general. He is known to be a supporter of fossil fuels. Trump has said in the past he hopes to dismantle the entire agency as a whole. Nikki R. Haley- United States Mission to the United Nations Haley is the governor of South Carolina. She, particularly as the daughter of two Indian immigrants, was a high-profile opponent of the Trump campaign early on in the election. She will be the face of the United States at the United Nations and represent the country in all councils within the organization. Linda McMahon- small business administration McMahon is the former chief executive of World Wrestling Entertainment. She previously ran for the Senate in Connecticut and lost. She will be in charge of giving loans out to small businesses. Mike Pompeo- CIA director Pompeo is a representative of Kansas and a former military officer.

Bloomington bars consider safety initiatives By Melanie Metzman mmetzman@indiana.edu @melanie_metzman
When Omar Mateen appeared in the Orlando, Florida, nightclub Pulse one June night, no one suspected he would go on to kill 49 people and wound 53 others. This hate crime and domestic terrorist attack was the largest mass shooting in United States history. In Oakland, California, earlier this month, 36 people were killed in a fire at Ghost Ship, an artist collective warehouse converted into a nightclub. The cause of the fire is not yet known, but it is suspected to have been caused by hazardous building conditions. More than 10 complaints had been filed about the property since 1998, with the most recent complaints Nov. 13 and 14 of this year, according to Oakland and Alameda County records. The warehouse fire was the deadliest in Oakland’s history. In both of these instances, neither club expected or was prepared for what was to come. Some Bloomington bars and restaurants have also thought through potentially dangerous scenarios that could happen. Singer-songwriter Jason Wilber performed Wednesday night at Player’s Pub surrounded by families listening to the music, laughing and enjoying dinner together. If an average night like this at the pub were interrupted by an attack, the immediate plan would be to get people out the back and call the police, said Christopher Breedlove, a manager at Player’s Pub. “If somebody came in here, me and the door guy would probably go down fighting,” Breedlove said. “I hope I wouldn’t be crouched behind the bar panicking.” Dave Coober, a doorman at Player’s Pub, said he believes his strength and expe-
rience could stop an attack at Player’s Pub. He has worked doors at bars across the country for 32 years. At one of the bars, a man was drunk and waving his gun around and threatening to shoot. Coober came up behind him and grabbed the gun. In the process, he broke the man’s wrist. “I didn’t mean to break his wrist,” Coober said. “It just happened. If I see something, I do something about it.” Nick’s English Hut owner Gregg Rago said if this were to happen at a bar or restaurant in Bloomington, he would not know how to prepare. Nick’s total capacity, including the Hoosier Room, is 470 people, Becca Molengraft, a Nick’s manager, said. Zac Coddens, a Nick’s manager, said on a busy day the restaurant will easily have from 1,000 to 2,000 customers pass through its door. Protecting this many people would be a challenge, but he would encourage the staff to remain calm, Rago. “People know what to do in these situations,” Rago said. “They rely on their instincts.” Jeremy Watson, a manager at Brother’s Bar and Grill, said his staff was recently trained on safety measures, and to his surprise some of this training included what to do if there was a terrorist attack. Watson said his main concern is the number of people carrying guns and knives. He said he estimates that anywhere between 10 to 15 people are carrying a knife at any point in time at every bar in Bloomington. Nick’s does not allow guns, Rago said. There is a no guns sign on the front door, and if a customer is carrying a weapon, they will be asked to leave the restaurant, even if they have a license to carry. “You don’t know their

psyche,” Rago said. Player’s Pub does not allow guns either, Coober said. He said if he sees a customer with a gun, he will ask them to return it to their car. “They usually cooperate,” he said. However, Watson said he believes most of the danger is outside the bar, rather than inside. Multiple stabbings have occurred outside Brother’s in the alley or by Black’s Mercantile, Watson said. However, victims have fled into the bar to seek shelter. Under these circumstances, Watson said the bar would lock the doors. Brandon Sims, a manager at Brother’s, said employees were recently trained at the bar’s Indianapolis location by an ex-police officer on protocol if there is a terrorist attack in the area. Employees were taught to take precautions such as shutting down the store and not letting anyone in or out, he said. Nevertheless, Breedlove said he is not concerned about an attack at Player’s Pub because he has worked at the business for over five years and he has never even

seen a fist fight. Coober said an attack at Player’s Pub is unlikely. “It would never happen here,” Coober said. “Everyone who comes in here is super nice. It’s like a big giant family here.” Coober said the only violent things that happen are with the homeless outside of Player’s Pub. Once, a homeless man attacked a customer after the customer refused to give the homeless man a cigarette, Coober said. He came outside and held the homeless man down with a chair until the police arrived. However, Rago said times have changed. There never used to be metal detectors at the airport or at sporting events, but now they are everywhere, he said. Metal detectors may become necessary in bars
Player’s Pub manager Christopher Breedlove said the plan, if the bar would be attacked, is to evacuate and call the police.
and restaurants to prevent attacks, he said. As a business owner, Rago said he is concerned that the metal detectors could raise operating costs. Portal metal detectors vary widely in price, according to the National Institute of Justice. Portals on the market range from as little as $1,000 up to as much as $30,000. However, the lower price $1,000 models are not recommended because they lack sensitivity. The moderately-priced models, about $4,000 to $5,000, probably offer the features required for a school metal detection program.
Purchasing metal detectors and training employees on how to use the equipment would be costly, Rago said. This would mean the business would have to raise prices, so the cost of the equipment and training would go directly to the consumer. This isn’t ideal, Rago said. However, metal detectors in nightclubs like Pulse in Orlando could have prevented the shooting, he said. “You really don’t think the apocalypse is going to happen until it does,” Rago said. “We may need to be ready.”

Sleepy nights, great ideas
It will be OK, but only if you make it so
KAITLYNN MILVERT is a sophomore in Spanish and English.
MADDY KLEIN is a sophomore in English and comparative literature.
Not every year can be the best. We know that. However, most of us allow ourselves to hope, in the early hours of a new January, that the year we face will be better than the rest or, at the very least, better than the last. It is not uncommon for the most cynical among us to slip into that hope, even if we protect ourselves by expecting to be let down. I am not a cynic — though adulthood seems intent on making me one — but I don’t think I’m alone in saying that 2016 let me down. Although it’s somewhat comforting to find community in the face of calamity, I would be surprised to meet anyone who didn’t prefer making connections under better circumstances. It’s tempting to throw 2016 away — if you hadn’t already decided it belonged in the trash — and expect the start of 2017 to bring all manner of possibilities simply because it will be new. If it hasn’t happened yet then it also hasn’t gone wrong yet, and millions of people will make resolutions to ensure that it won’t go wrong. Unfortunately, if you weren’t satisfied with 2016, you would do well not to forget about it, but to examine it. Whether your dissatisfaction comes from problems you still have to work on or problems you no longer have the chance to fix, you can’t count on the magic of a new year to make things better. You can, however, count on yourself. Everyone’s favorite criticism of millennials is their sense of entitlement to the best in life, but I’d like to argue that people our age are no less aware of the need to exercise personal agency. Responsibility can be a burden, and many of us love to complain about our responsibilities, particularly with humor, so that the burden doesn’t feel as heavy. However, if it’s your responsibility to make improvements, then it’s also within your control to ensure those improvements happen. I’m sure we all want 2017 to be a better year. I’m sure that, even after having written this, I will watch the ball drop on New Year’s Eve and feel the annual burst of inspiration when I think of what waits for me in days unlived. However, this year the obligation to maximize whatever control I do have feels more pressing than it ever has. Many of the worst parts of 2016 seemed to be symptoms of misplaced attention or perhaps of a lack of attention altogether, which makes conscientious devotion to meaningful causes seem all the more necessary. Next year will be OK, and it might even be great, but only if we make it that way. mareklei@indiana.edu

Consider the roots of popular traditions The holidays always bring out the most bizarre in people Holidays are a lot weirder than you would expect. Sure, we have heard of things like Krampus, everyone’s favorite horned demon out to punish children. Typically, though, the holidays are reserved as a time for us to share in cheer and joy and peace on earth — all kinds of happy stuff like that. But when you think about the holiday season, what do you think of? Do you think of gift-giving and spending time with family or celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ? Maybe you don’t celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah or Kwanzaa. There are more than the average December holiday traditions, though. Many of our traditions stem from the old traditions of early Christianity. Christmas was a celebration of Jesus Christ’s birth and the idea of giving gifts for Christ came
from the Three Kings bringing gifts to baby Jesus’ manger all those years ago. Another origin of gift-giving comes from the pagan tradition of reminding children that any day they too could be a human sacrifice. Brutal, right? Sometimes we forget our history was very grim and things were pretty barbaric for quite some time. For example, the image we have of creating a gingerbread house with our sweet grandmas didn’t exist. Instead, the gingerbread house came from a story involving cannibalism. The Grimm fairy tale of Hansel and Gretel involved gingerbread houses and eating children, and for some reason, our modern-day society decided to incorporate these evil houses into our holiday culture. A tradition that families
and couples partake in is the kiss under the mistletoe game that older members of the family will use to trick young people into kissing. As a child, we all cringed and stuck our tongues out when we had to kiss a relative. As an adult, it caused us to sweat and look around the room for an opportunity not to kiss the only non-relative present. Fun fact: Mistletoe is actually a parasitic plant. Some kind of metaphor we were trying to make about love, huh? Now, there are more innocent traditions among families of all ethnicities and religious backgrounds. Some families hide pickles in their trees for kids to find. Other families move a creepylooking elf around the house to surprise — that is to say, scare — their kids. The holiday season is still kind of barbaric in some
ways. Moms will trample each other in order to get the most sought-after gift. We cut down trees just to have them decorated for a month. Parents will put their infants in a diaper then in a manger in dangerously cold temperatures to recreate the birth of Christ. There’s nothing like the holidays to bring out the most bizarre in people. Some people love harder than they have all year, others are terribly depressed due to lack of family. Whatever traditions you uphold with your family, just remember where they came from and where they are headed. Who knows, maybe in the next decade we will be writing about how the holiday season is the second wave of Halloween because we didn’t get enough the first time around. Those elves are so scary.

The end of neoliberalism? Of course not A popular take that has emerged in recent months and will continue to emerge in the uncertain ones to come is saying the Brexit vote and Donald Trump’s victory mark the end of neoliberalism. Cornel West wrote an op-ed in the Guardian in which he correctly blamed the economic changes of the past 30 years for the recent “neo-fascist bang” and declared “the age of Obama was the last gasp of neoliberalism.” The specter of change has descended upon mainstream pundits who, though not describing it in the same terms as West, feel the tectonic shift of this past year and speak of the dawn of a new era. It is misguided to describe this new era as neoliberalism’s disintegration. Even the fiercest critics of neoliberalism will admit that it is a spurious term because major discrepancies exist between its ideology and political reality. I believe though the application of an ideology may
not fully abide orthodoxy, the connection between an ideology and the shaping of political life should not be disregarded. When asked if he thought Trump’s victory spelled the end of neoliberalism, geographer David Harvey said, “It depends a little bit on how you characterize the neoliberal regime. I’ve always considered it to be a political project … about increasing centralization and accumulation of more and more power on the part of elites and a capitalist class. I don’t think that’s over at all.” Harvey is only halfcorrect in his assessment. Though Trump may be the culmination of the neoliberal era, he is by no means the end of it. Trump douses his rhetoric in neoliberal edicts. He denounces regulation, plans to initiate a huge tax cut for the rich and favors privatization at any possible juncture. With the appointment of Goldman Sachs executive Gary Cohn to head the National Economic Council, Trump also shows his will-
ingness to accommodate Wall Street should another crisis occur. As for Trump’s position on trade, keep in mind his opposition to international arrangements like NAFTA or the TPP does not come from a dislike for the intrinsic concept of these deals but from the view that the U.S. does not benefit enough from them. I suppose if you had a fetish for precise political terminology, you could refer to Trump as a nationalist neoliberal. The main difference for Trump lies in the contradictions at the heart of neoliberalism, the unraveling of the term itself. The word “neoliberalism” is in truth a euphemism for the phase of capitalism that started in the 1970s. Though its ideologues, such as Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek, oppose the interference of the state in the economy, the doctrines of deregulation and privatization have necessitated state cooperation through bailouts and the socialization of risk by the

taxpayer. Enter Trump, whose fascist propensities will usher in an openly authoritarian state that will oppress the population and prop up the survival of international capital against the discontented masses. Think of these loathsome times not as the end of what has come before but an evolution. I’d like to end with some fitting lyrics by Nobel laureate Bob Dylan: “Oh, what’ll you do now, my blue-eyed son? / ... / I’m a-going back out ‘fore the rain starts afallin’ / ... / Where the people are a many and their hands are all empty / ... / Where the executioner’s face is always well hidden / ... / Where black is the color, where none is the number /... / And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard / It’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall.” luwrobin@indiana.edu

Sleep deprivation, as we are all aware, is an epidemic in colleges. The condition peaks during finals week and shows a trend of spontaneous recovery with the beginning of winter break. The negative health effects of insufficient sleep are too numerous to print here, but general symptoms include everything from weakened immune systems to twitching eyes. The social effects are perilous and range from slaphappiness to dozing off at inconvenient times. Undesirable symptoms aside, sleep deprivation has a certain kind of artistic appeal. Romanticized portraits of late-night sleeplessness pervade art and literature in celebration of the artistic and creative potential of staying awake while the rest of the world is asleep. Indeed, writers and artists throughout history have seized upon late-night inspiration — whether as a preference, as a side effect of insomnia or because it’s the only time available for their artistic labor. For instance, William Faulkner is said to have written his novel “As I Lay Dying” between the hours of midnight and 4 a.m. over the course of six weeks, all the while working night shifts in a power plant. T.S. Eliot’s poem “Rhapsody on a Windy Night” spans these same pre-dawn hours from midnight onward. The nostalgic picture it paints of nighttime reflection was adapted into the iconic song “Memory” from the Broadway hit “Cats.” Among the most identifiable pieces of U.S. artwork is Edward Hopper’s painting “Nighthawks” which illustrates a few isolated figures seated in an all-night diner. The aesthetically appealing light of the diner is offset against the dark and deserted streets, and the figures’ wakefulness contrasts with the silent and still surroundings. The list of artistic glorifications of sleep-deprived exultation and somber, predawn ponderings could go on indefinitely. Such creations conceive of nighttime of as liberation from daytime rationality, confining schedules and mundane labor. As these artists show, the tranquility of nighttime has a certain aesthetic and emotional appeal, even against the struggle to keep one’s eyes open and the pulse-quickening effects of caffeinated stimulation. We perform a tired celebration of sleeplessness at college as we quietly rejoice in the all-night stay at the library and the paper finished at 4 a.m. We have our share of complaints, too, but these exist amid the suppressed thrill of the long night’s successful fight against sleep. After all, college students were by no means the originators of this trend of romanticizing sleep deprivation. Artists, too, dared to stay awake, even at the peril of their health. Certainly, we should be more concerned about our health and should make an effort to take care of our bodies amid the stress of studies, yet medicalizing the experience of sleeplessness takes something away from the poetic privilege of watching the sun come up through half-closed eyelids. So try to get some sleep, but if you can’t manage more than a pre-dawn nap, maybe these artists can give you some inspiration. The next great poem, novel or painting might be in progress during your next night of sleeplessness. kmilvert@indiana.edu

the line and start tackling guys and showing them how to do it,” Stansell said about his coach. While putting a large amount of time into coaching and teaching, Tom always made sure to spend time with his family. Stansell said he remembers flying kites, throwing a Frisbee and constructing walls in his basement with Tom and his kids. Tom was a great example as a father, Stansell said, and the Allens were a great example of a good family. “I can tell based on the interview I saw when Tommy took over the other day at IU that he respects his chance that he’s going to get,” Stansell said about his childhood neighbor. “He will be a great coach for IU.” In that press conference where Tommy shook IU Athletics Director Fred Glass’ hand to begin his era as IU football’s head coach, Tom was sitting in the third row, wiping tears from his eyes as his son spoke. * * * Allen had always wanted to get back to Indiana. After he met his wife, Tracy, and graduated from Maranatha Baptist College in 1992, the two hit the road from Watertown, Wisconsin, to Tampa, Florida, where head football and wrestling coaching positions awaited him at Temple Heights Christian High School. After a two-season stint at Temple Heights, Allen was beginning his new head coaching position at Armwood High School in Seffner, Florida. That’s when he met Dick
Dullaghan. Dullaghan made the trip down to Florida for an annual football camp, and Allen was there, working with linebackers and defensive linemen. “I saw how enthusiastic, positive and energetic he was,” Dullaghan said. “He wanted to coach fast players, hard-nosed players.” When it was Allen who approached Dullaghan about open coaching jobs in Indiana, the Ben Davis coach learned he didn’t want to be in the Hoosier state solely for the quality of football. He wanted to raise his family there, just like his dad. Allen’s passion for football and love for Indiana kept his face and name lodged in Dullaghan’s mind until a defensive coordinator spot opened up at Ben Davis in 1998. Allen boarded the ship that was Ben Davis football after one year at Marion High School and won three 5A state titles with the crew. “It was a marriage made in heaven,” Dullaghan said. “It was no mistake that Tom Allen was the defensive coordinator for those teams. He’s infectious — he had ‘it.’ I always knew he’d go to the college level.” * * * Nearly everything Allen has touched in the college ranks has turned to gold. Wabash was 8-2 the season before Allen became the team’s defensive coordinator and secondary coach. It was 11-2 his only season on staff. In his two seasons as defensive coordinator at Lambuth in Jackson, Tennessee, he helped push a 3-8 team in 2007 to 8-4 and 12-1 in 2008 and 2009. He even missed
five months of pay with head coach Hugh Freeze to aide a struggling Lambuth athletic department. After Drake stayed put with Allen at defensive coordinator in 2010, Arkansas State saw its record flip from 4-8 to 10-3 with Allen as defensive coordinator. It hasn’t missed a bowl season since Allen’s one season in 2011. In his three years at Ole Miss, the Rebels went from a 2-10 season before Allen joined the staff to 9-4 in his last season and three-straight bowl appearances. Wherever Allen has gone, success has followed. Former Ole Miss defensive coordinator Dave Wommack said it’s because of Allen’s honesty and transparency with players and coaches as much as it is about his football intelligence. “With his mind for the game, everyone knew he was going to be a star in this profession,” Wommack said. “But he’s as sincere of a man there is. Everything he says and does comes straight from the heart.” That’s a common recollection when his former colleagues talk about Allen. What you see is what you get. Hugging assistant coaches on the sidelines, pumping his fist so hard his headset falls off, throwing his fists in the air after every successful defensive play. That’s just him, Wommack said. He coaches to lead a team of men, Westfield High School coach Jake Gilbert said. He strives to build relationships with his players to the point where his players play for him and for each other. They don’t want to let him down. He’s their coach. Gilbert, who coached with Allen at Ben Davis and
Wabash, said the way Allen coaches — with a “love each other” mentality — is viewed by some as soft and not the way football should be coached. “But nobody wants to win more than Tom,” Gilbert said. “He just chooses to coach through love rather than through fear and intimidation.” * * * The change happened quickly. Unexpectedly fast. After earning back-toback bowl bids for the first time since 1990-91, IU Coach Kevin Wilson resigned Dec. 3, following allegations of player mistreatment. The man who brought Allen to Bloomington in January was gone. “Transitions in this profession are hard under any circumstances, let alone this,” Allen said in his press conference with Glass. “My heart breaks for him. I never expected for this to happen.” Allen knows about transitions. This is his 13th position change in 25 seasons as a coach. But this transition — a transition that will leave his program in the shadows of allegation throughout his first offseason as head coach — is something he hasn’t experienced. Not at this level. Not ever. Yet it was Allen that sat next to Glass before the media, as the most unfamiliar with IU football among the coaching staff, speaking about a friend and a colleague who had been at the helm for six seasons. “He believed in me,” Allen said, “and he gave me a charge when I came here to be the head coach of the de-
biography of the times,” Kane said. “If you look at Gary’s signs, you’ll recognize the style. I suspect virtually every hand-painted sign in Bloomington is by Gary. I don’t know that for sure, but I suspect as much.” Emily Purcell, director of the Farmer House Museum, said these cards show the development of Anderson’s methodology as an artist. “There’s a real history in the techniques that he used,” Purcell said. “The ‘69 didn’t have an original, unfortunately it’s just a photograph, but that one was a lithograph. Then he used screen printing for the cards in the ‘70s, you can kind of see when he first started in the ‘90s using a computer to do the layout instead of hand-drawn or letterpress.” The cards hold a special significance for Purcell, as she said they seem to mirror parts of her own life and art experience. “I was born in the early ‘70s, so this is actually my life,” Purcell said. “When it gets to the 1980s, I was actually learning to do graphic design myself. I learned some computer art in school — my major was art history, but I was interested in computer art.” Purcell said her favorite pieces in the display include one of the early prints from the 1970s. This particular card
fense, to change the culture in that side of the ball, and that’s what we did. “I wish Kevin Wilson nothing but the best.” * * * It only makes sense that Tom Allen would take over a program spiraling into bowl season because of allegations of player mistreatment. The man knows how to treat his players, Dullaghan said. He makes them believe in him, in each other and in themselves. The 25-year coaching vet makes lesser players better players. That was obvious when Allen came into Bloomington to take over a defense that dwelled in the cellar of the Big Ten and made the biggest statistical turnaround in the nation. He did it with mostly the same players former IU defensive coordinator Brian Knorr had at his disposal in 2014 and 2015. “You don’t move up in the ranks as quickly as he did without being a special person and coach,” Dullaghan said. “He gets his players playing fast with a belief in each other.” He preached “Love Each Other” to the IU defense in 2016 and appealed to his players’ psyches by making them say “takeaways” rather than “turnovers.” It’s more aggressive, he said in preseason. Those are the kinds of things high school recruits look for in a coach, Kirschner — who won a 6A state title as Ben Davis’ head coach — said. That’s also what high school coaches look for when helping their athletes in recruiting. Kirschner said he wants a coach that will tell him and his players if they’re good enough

includes a simple image of a man, all black with no detail, with a splash of red in the background, with text that reads “Noel” in red lettering. “I love the screen-printed ones,” Purcell said. “Gary has developed as an artist — he’s always trying out interesting ideas so these are great, witty and fun, too — but there’s something so lovely about this pure screen printing. I love that era in design.” One of the main features that makes the Farmer House Museum stand out is the integration of programming within the exhibition space, Purcell said. The whole museum space is decorated with an early to mid-20th century aesthetic tradition and items from the extended collection of the Farmer family. Purcell said the Bellevue Gallery space where the cards are displayed also converts into a venue for programming, including events geared toward crafting. The museum has planned one of these art-making workshops at 5:30 p.m. Thursday. Purcell said attendees are invited to make crafts along the topic of connection with divine energy, chosen by the leading artist. “One of our other Bellevue artists, Mandey Lund, is going to be doing a healing and visualization workshop with collage, a sort of bring-yourown material event for people to make art focused on those themes,” Purcell said.
for the program, not a coach that will string players along and cause them to miss opportunities elsewhere. “He was in our shoes,” Kirschner said, referring to Indiana high school coaches. “He was one of us not too long ago. He knows what our kids can do and the quality of our players. I know everyone is very excited that he is taking over at Indiana.” The wide range of areas from which Allen has recruited — Tennessee, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas and other states in the Southeast and Midwest — will only add to his advantages as a recruiter, Dullaghan said. Combine that with Allen wearing his emotions on his sleeve, putting his ego aside and selling himself by his actions, Allen is an effective recruiter, according to multiple coaches with whom he’s worked. It won’t take long for the recruits to know the real Tom Allen. It never does take long. That impression has spilled into his other jobs as well, as he’s gained the trust of many coaches and players in the football stratosphere. That’s something he uses to his advantage in football and in all facets of life. “There are three ways to influence people,” Dullaghan said. “Example, example, example.” Allen is that example for a program that needs good examples at the moment, Dullaghan said. He’s a good husband and father, doesn’t curse and can teach. “He’s a great example of how to be a good person,” Wommack said about Allen. “He’s one of the best I know, and he really puts an exclamation point on that when it comes to his players.”

IU wins big despite shaky fourth quarter
Hoosiers handle Huskies in 103-61 victory
By Jake Thomer jjthomer@indiana.edu | @jake_the_thomer
A blowout win Thursday night left IU women’s basketball coach Teri Moren unhappy with the team’s ability to put together a complete game. On Sunday, IU raced out to a fast start en route to an 87-58 win against Valparaiso, but a defensive collapse in the fourth quarter still left Moren concerned. “Well, I was really happy with three quarters, not so happy with the fourth,” Moren said. “They outscored us 26-15 there, so we’ll go back, and I’m sure that’ll be some really good film for our players, especially those young kids that were out on the floor. I thought defensively we made some strides in the right direction this afternoon, but I don’t think we did so much in the fourth.” After Moren expressed her displeasure, particularly with the defensive effort from her bench in a 51-point win against Northern Kentucky on Thursday, IU came out with focus in the first half against Valparaiso. The Hoosiers forced 13 turnovers and came up with 17 points off the Crusaders’ miscues throughout the first two quarters. The Hoosiers were sharp on the offensive end in the first half as well, only turning the ball over three times. Led by 15 first-half points from senior guard Alexis Gassion, the Hoosiers took a 42-22 lead into the break. Gassion finished the day with 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting from the field. “I was going to keep pulling until I missed, but I didn’t,” Gassion said of her torrid first half. “In that moment, my teammates were looking for me, the crowd was into it, and I felt like it was going to be good.” IU was able to stifle Valparaiso’s leading scorer, Dani Franklin, for
much of the game and kept the junior forward to just eight points in the first three quarters. The sloppy fourth allowed Franklin to wind up with 18 points in the game, but she shot just five-of-16 from the field. Franklin wasn’t the only Crusader who had a big fourth quarter, though the outcome of the game was virtually decided before the quarter began. IU outscored Valporaiso 30-10 in the third and had a 72-32 lead at the start of the final period. Moren turned to her bench to start the fourth, and things did not go smoothly from there. The Hoosiers committed nine turnovers and 10 fouls in the fourth quarter to allow the 26-point outburst from Valparaiso in that time. After a 12-2 Valparaiso run to kick off the fourth, Moren was forced to go back to her bench to stop the bleeding. “You want to get those guys experience, and the only way you do that is by playing them,” Moren said. “But you also get rewarded for playing well and performing well and staying sound defensively.” Junior guard Tyra Buss, junior forward Amanda Cahill and Gassion were part of the brigade called in to put out the fourth quarter fire. Buss finished the game with 12 points and six assists, and Cahill turned in a double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds. The Hoosiers have a week off for finals now, and Moren said the break will be useful to hammer out the things needed to ensure her team can finish games. “Great teams want to be coached, and average teams don’t like to be told the truth,” Moren said. “I consider ourselves a great team. They accepted our challenge of becoming a better defensive team. I will keep coaching them up until they tell me differently, until they tell me they want to be average, and I don’t think that’s going to be the case.”

Sloppy, careless and poor are all words that could be used to describe the first five minutes of play by IU men’s basketball against Houston Baptist on Saturday afternoon. The Hoosiers missed their first five shots of the game and led just 5-4 at the first media timeout. It took about three more minutes after that for IU’s offense to start clicking, but once it did, the Hoosiers buried the Huskies. After being down two at the 12-minute mark, an eight-to-zero run in a one-minute span put IU ahead of its Southland Conference opponent. The Hoosiers carried that momentum throughout the entire game and downed the Huskies 103-61 at Assembly Hall. IU scored 61 points in the second half and junior guard Robert Johnson said they focused on turning stops on defense into points in order to do so. “We just decided to really sit down and get stops on defense and string stops together,” Johnson said. “When we do that it allows us to get out in transition and get easy baskets and I think it translated well for us.” The Hoosiers got contributions from all over the court with five players scoring in double figures. Junior guard James Blackmon Jr. led the way with 18 points, and Johnson added 16 of his own. Sophomore forward Juwan Morgan finished with 13. Morgan had made his last 12 field goals in the last two games coming into the matchup. He started the afternoon strong by draining his first two but a missed 3-pointer to start the second half ended his streak at 14. The sophomore from Waynesville, Missouri, finished the night four-forfive from the field, but his 14 straight makes set a new IU record. The bench racked up 37 points.
Freshman guard duo Curtis Jones and Devonte Green combined for 19 points to lead the reserves. The IU bench has outscored its opponents 100-30 in the last three games. Junior forward Freddie McSwain finished with a career-high eight points, and IU Coach Tom Crean attributed McSwain’s performance Saturday to the quality week he had during practice. “He had a very good week. He improved this week and strung good days together,” Crean said. “I think the last couple weeks probably hurt a guy like that as much as anyone else because we didn’t get that full-throttle practice time. He works very hard, and I was very happy for him, and he earned it so hopefully he continues to stay on that path.” Turnovers had been a problem recently for IU, averaging more than 17 per game. IU cut that number to 12 on Saturday afternoon. After having four games in eight days the previous week, the Hoosiers had just one contest to worry about this week. Morgan said the team really got after one another during practice to improve their play. “We hit all the little things that even in those stretch of games there was a lot of great things we did, but there’s a lot of things we can work on,” Morgan said. “We have to keep getting better every day and not let a day goes by because you either get better or you get worse, you never stay the same.” The last three opponents IU has faced are all ranked 274 or below out of 351 Division I teams, according to KenPom. IU will have to wait another full week before getting back into action when it plays a much more impressive opponent in Butler at the Crossroads Classic at 5 p.m. Dec. 17 in Indianapolis.

IU senior joins elite with national award From IDS reports
IU senior midfielder Tanner Thompson continued to rack up conference and national honors following his senior season. The most recent award came Friday when he was named a first-team All-American by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. Thompson is one of just eight IU men’s soccer players in history to have earned three All-America honors in one season, and the first since Pat Noonan in 2002. He earned first-team honors in 2014 and was named to the third-team by the NSCAA in 2015.

Junior guard James Blackmon Jr. gets set to defend an inbounds pass from Houston Baptist on Dec. 10. The Hoosiers beat the Huskies, 103-61.
Todd Yeagley, IU Coach
Blackmon leads Hoosiers to victory By Andrew Hussey aphussey@indiana.edu @thehussnetwork
Junior guard James Blackmon Jr. has always been able to score. Blackmon is capable of going off and filling up the stat sheet whenever he wants and making it rain from three. However, he did much more than shoot Saturday in IU’s 103-61 victory against Houston Baptist. Against the Huskies he scored 18 points and showed mental resiliency and leadership, both qualities that are important for the Hoosiers moving forward. At one point in the second half IU Coach Tom
Crean turned the huddle over to Blackmon, and the junior led the discussion. “The biggest thing for these guys right now is just to have — you take that ownership and responsibility for each other inside the game,” Crean said. “It takes time to build it. You’re looking for those opportunities where you can find a way to do it, and if it presents itself in a situation like that in the game like today, I’ll take advantage of it.” After missing half of last season due to knee surgery, Blackmon has returned to the court and has been a consistent scorer. He’s a sharp shooter from 3-point range, and against the Huskies he shot 40 percent from beyond
the arc. His shooting opens up the rest of the court for the other four players and that’s when IU has its success. “It just makes it that much easier for the ball movement,” junior guard Robert Johnson said. “To get in the lane when you have a guy like that’s a constant threat, it just makes it easier on everybody.” Saturday wasn’t Blackmon’s most prolific shooting performance of his career, but it was exactly what IU needed after a sluggish start to the game. He showed mental resolve and the ability to bounce back after missing shots early. “The biggest thing for James like today with the
tough first half is don’t get down and focus on why you’re missing,” Crean said. “Focus on what you need to do defensively and continue to rebound the ball and moving the ball to other people. I think in the second half he played with a much better energy. He was better in the second half because I thought his focus defensively and his talk in the huddle were good for him.” Blackmon was a key part of IU’s impressive defensive outing against Houston Baptist. The Hoosiers held their opponent to 35-percent shooting, and the Huskies only had two 3-pointers the entire game. With conference play
“Tanner had an outstanding career at IU and will go down as one of our all-time special midfielders. We are proud of his accomplishments and his excellence on and off the field. ”
around the corner, IU’s offense and defense have found a groove, and Blackmon is a big reason why. He’s once again IU’s leading scorer and has regained a rhythm after missing so much time last season. Blackmon is a constant threat, and with him and Johnson in the backcourt together, you know what you’re going to get every game. “James and Rob have been together a lot,” Crean said. “They do a pretty good job together, just the randomness of the game, and they still missed a lot of time, so like I can see where that’s like improving and those guys have played together for two years.”
“Tanner had an outstanding career at IU and will go down as one of our all-time special midfielders,” IU Coach Todd Yeagley said via a press release. “We are proud of his accomplishments and his excellence on and off the field. We are excited for Tanner’s next chapter as he begins his professional career.” The 2016 season also saw Thompson earn first-team AllBig Ten, first-team All-Midwest from the NSCAA and Big Ten Midfielder of the Year honors. He is also a semifinalist for the MAC Hermann Trophy, the award given to the best player in college soccer. Thompson scored eight goals and tallied three assists in his final season as a Hoosier. He also guided IU to the round of 16, the farthest the Hoosiers have advanced in Thompson’s four seasons in Bloomington. Josh Eastern

Juwan Morgan sets new IU record, embarrasses Houston Baptist There are many ways to get embarrassed on a basketball court. You could show up in expensive sneakers and get roasted over and over about how your kicks are much better than you are. You could get blocked three times at once by three different players because you have no hops whatsoever and can barely get off the ground. You could spill a Gatorade cooler on yourself before the game begins and have to change because it looks like you had an accident. I know for a fact that all of these things are embarrassing because they all happened to me. The basketball court is a brutal place where mayhem and sadness stealthily wait for you to screw up. Houston Baptist’s Josh Ibarra had a humiliating day. Yes, his team lost. However, that’s not an unusual occurrence. What is unusual is getting a shot blocked off your head in front of an entire stadium. I don’t know how you come back from that. I’d recommend a name change or maybe a few months abroad to take stock of what’s really important. The shot-blocker in question is sophomore forward Juwan Morgan, who has been otherworldly during

this cupcake schedule. He has 14 consecutively made buckets and double-digits in every game dating back to SIU-Edwardsville. Morgan has been a godsend this season, including during Saturday’s contest against Houston Baptist. When asked about his first missed shot in the month of December, Morgan said he would usually make that shot and proceeded to describe the small errors that contributed to the disconnect. “Oh, I just — probably looking at the film, my feet probably weren’t right,” he said. “My left right probably wasn’t as good as it could have been because usually I would have hit that.” Even though Morgan won’t touch former Yale forward Brandon Sherrod’s Division I record of 30 shots in a row last season, Morgan now has the IU record for made buckets in a row with 14. It’s a relatively meaningless statistic, but it’s now Morgan’s relatively meaningless statistic. With sophomore forward OG Anunoby’s high ankle sprain, Morgan has become a vital part of the Hoosiers’ game plan. His minutes have increased to at least 20 in every contest, and his signifi-

cance has followed suit. With a six-foot-eight frame, Morgan has the ability to work down low and play on the perimeter. A fake hand-off behind the threepoint line to fellow big man junior Freddie McSwain led to an easy two-handed jam by the breakout star of this young season.
It’s this type of easy bucket that makes Morgan so dangerous for opponents. He has a plethora of moves and the height to make it look like he Space Jam Monstar talentdrained a skilled guard. Morgan has carved himself out a nice role on the squad. When Anunoby returns, Morgan will probably
be relegated to playing off of the bench. But, Morgan has shown his worth as of late. Depth in the frontcourt is at a deficient in college basketball. To have Morgan and freshman De’Ron Davis backing up sophomore Thomas Bryant and Anunoby is a strength almost unheard of on this
level. IU is at its best when Morgan is embarrassing those on the opposing side. The positive for the Hoosiers is that this is happening more often than anyone could have possibly expected. gigottfr@indiana.edu @gott31
WRESTLING
IU wins 2 of 3 matches during busy weekend By Ryan Schuld ryan.schuld@yahoo.com | @RSCHULD
IU improved to 6-2 on the season after IU rebounded from a close loss to No. 11 Wisconsin on Friday to defeat Eastern Michigan and Cleveland State on Sunday. However, the tiebreaker loss to the Badgers left the Hoosiers wanting more. “In general, we wrestled really well,” IU Coach Duane Goldman said. “I feel like in the match we were the better team, but we had seven guys score 63 points, and we had three weights where we scored one point between them all.” Earlier in the week Goldman preached consistency from all 10 guys, but against Wisconsin only seven came through, and IU lost the total points score 69-64. IU forced the tiebreaker after graduate transfer Chris
Perez notched his second win of the season in his 5-4 victory against No. 18 Andrew Crone of Wisconsin. Perez said he was happy with the victory but found himself more worried about the team’s finish in the dual meet than his individual performance. On paper Perez’s win was an upset against one of the better wrestlers in the 149-pound weight class, but to Perez, that is not the case. “To me it’s not really an upset. I have wrestled guys that are ranked higher or had better wins,” he said. “I felt like me today. Last week I felt I shook off some butterflies and cobwebs a little. I feel like I am me now. I can compete with anybody.” To come so close and not to win left a sour taste in the mouth of the team, but Goldman stressed the need for the team to overcome it and be
resilient heading to Michigan for two more matches. Resilient the Hoosiers were. IU defeated Eastern Michigan 25-12 and Cleveland State 46-6 to get wins five and six on the season. Hoosier senior and No. 6 Nate Jackson went unbeaten to move to move to 13-0 on the season. IU now has a week to prepare for its final double dual of the season as it is host to Indiana Tech and Buffalo at 1 p.m. Saturday in University Gym and look to continue scoring as many points as possible. “Every point matters,” Perez said. “Going into every match you have to have the mindset to score points, score points, score points. If you keep the mindset of scoring points then you are not going to have to worry about these tiebreaker criteria. You just have to do your job.”

Straight No Chaser returns for anniversary By Mallory Haag mjhaag@indiana.edu | @MalloryHaag
Straight No Chaser, the former IU a cappella music group that became popular due to its versions of traditional Christmas songs, is coming home for the holidays this year. Jerome Collins, a tenor in the group, said one thing IU taught him was he needed to be himself on stage and have fun performing. He said IU played a large role in the formation of the group and the group members’ relationships with each other now. “I’ve learned just to be a crazy nut on stage like these guys are because that’s what we were,” Collins said. “We were friends that made our own little singing fraternity.” The group, known for energetic performances and an unorthodox approach to a cappella music, according to its website, will be performing at 8 p.m. Wednesday night in the IU Auditorium. “That is what made Straight No Chaser what we were,” Collins said. “We weren’t what you thought of as a cappella. We wanted to do songs that we liked and listened to on the radio.” The original 10 members split up for a time after graduation to pursue careers outside of music, according to its website. The group eventually got back together and reached new levels of fame when footage from its 1998 performance of “12 Days of Christmas” went viral on YouTube

group has since been known for its holiday music and albums, but it has branched out with a few non-seasonal compilations. Collins said the group’s ultimate goal is to give audiences a different kind of a cappella performance.
The band, which formed in 1996, still accepts IU students into its campus group of the same name and allows them to perform alongside veterans and newcomers alike. The performance in Bloomington is part of the
band’s “I’ll Have Another” tour that will celebrate its 20th anniversary. Six of the founding members will return to Bloomington on Wednesday to perform, but some of the original members have stepped away to pursue careers unrelated to
music or spend more time with family. Collins said the group has always talked about having a reunion tour like this in order to keep up with former members, but he has been shocked at how much Bloomington shares their
passion for a cappella. “Nothing like coming to our home,” Collins said. “We said we were going to come back in 20 years to see how this group was going. Never thought we’d be coming back to a sold-out auditorium.”

Although Secret Space has only toured as a band a few times, the threesome from Toledo, Ohio, already has its own fan base. On Monday night, the rock band will play in the Bishop for the first time. Dean Tartaglia, lead singer of Secret Space, said it will be fun to play at the venue, especially because his brother has been a student at IU for the past five years. He said he has done some house shows in Bloomington while playing with other bands, but this will be the first time Secret Space will play in Bloomington. “I’ve been meaning to play the Bishop for a long time,” he said. “I’ve actually been there to see shows and things like that. It’s a cool spot.” Tartaglia said Secret Space is touring with fellow Toledo-based band Heart Attack Man for the first time. Drummer Steven Warstler
Although Kade Puckett has been playing monthly solo shows at the Player’s Pub for almost five years, the crowd never knows what to expect because he makes up his set list on the spot. On Saturday evening, Bloomington residents gathered at the pub to hear his distinct finger-style guitar, which lends itself to improvisation. Puckett said it is difficult to classify what genre finger style falls under. While it’s similar to classical guitar, some parts of the instrument are played with the thumb and other parts with the fingers. “You’re playing all the music parts on guitar,” he said. “So the bass part, the rhythm and the melody on top of it. It’s not like it’s a well-known style, but it’s kind of an underground thing.” Puckett said he doesn’t feel like he has a problem getting the audience’s at-

said Secret Space has played some shows with the band in Ohio and they are good friends with the group’s members. “They’re one of my favorite bands, and we’re all super stoked to be playing with them,” he said. “Great band. They are the perfect embodiment of Bart Simpson and the Beastie Boys.” Tartaglia said while on tour the band will be playing a lot of songs from its debut album “The Window Room,” which was released in June.
The band is constantly working on new material and will play new songs on tour, he said. The band uses tours to try out new songs and see which ones work live. “I’ve got a bunch of new stuff that’s fun to throw in to see how it goes with the set or see how people receive it,” he said. “Because obviously people want to hear the new stuff because it’s still pretty fresh. So it’s been fun to do that.” SEE BISHOP, PAGE 15

tention at the Player’s Pub because the crowd comes to see him play finger style, but at other venues, that’s not always the case. He said it’s more difficult to play at venues where the crowd is unfamiliar with his style of guitar. “You get crowds that are not paying attention much,” he said. “But then I’ll play something like ‘Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer’ or something, and that always gets their attention.” During his show, he did play “Rudolph” and a few other classic Christmas songs and country hits. Player’s Pub manager Chris Breedlove said Puckett’s style fits in with the venue’s atmosphere, especially for a happy hour-type show. He said Puckett has an amazing style and is incredibly talented. “I asked him before if he was classically trained, and he said ‘No, it’s more of a country background,’” he said. “It’s more like each type of song he plays, there’s also an overlay of one of the
SALE
classical guitarists.” Since he doesn’t use a set list at his shows, Puckett said he sometimes feeds off the audience and is attentive to what it wants to hear. He said when he first started playing, it was more difficult to come up with things to perform on the spot. “I just keep my eye on everybody in the crowd and see how they’re acting,” he said. “I’ll usually find something they can attach to and see whatever happens.” Puckett, who is from Linton, Indiana, said he travels an hour to come to the pub each month. Because he plays solo, he said it’s easier for him to travel, and he enjoys playing at the Player’s Pub because of its homey environment. “The local crowd comes in, and usually it’s people who enjoy listening to good music, so they’re not real rowdy unless we all get rowdy,” he said. “It’s got an old feeling to it too. Plus it’s kind of where I started doing what I’m doing. I like to come back here.”

Variety show benefits Middle Way House By Emily Jones emkjones@indiana.edu | @emkkjones
Inflatable snowmen and Christmas garland lined the walls of Alumni Hall on Sunday afternoon. Many of the students and community members made the $10 suggested donation as they filed past ushers. At a table near the back, a bin was filled with raffle tickets. Ernie Joseph Fipps, known to friends as “Jo,” perused the aisles doing last minute sound-checks and announced the raffle prize. Then the lights dimmed and the audience grew quiet. It was Fipp’s second annual Ernie Jo Christmas Spectacular, organized to benefit Middle Way House in Bloomington. Funds raised are expected to go toward Middle Way’s transitional housing, emergency shelter and day care services. “Last year we did a smaller version of the event, but this year we had the idea to give it a reason for existing – like, why not do a fundraiser?” Fipps, an IU graduate, said before the show. “We picked Middle Way House because they were in need.” Middle Way House, which provides support to those in Bloomington experiencing
physical and sexual abuse, is looking for extra funding this winter due to budget cuts, according to program volunteer Korie Rice. “Having lost a lot of their funding, they are definitely in need,” Rice said. “But Jo’s so passionate about this event. It’s nice to see.” On the lineup Sunday night were IU’s Movement Exchange dance ensemble, Resting Pitch Face a capella group and two quartets from the Jacobs School of Music. The Boney Junes band of Evansville, Indiana, also came out to support the cause. Resting Pitch Face entertained with holiday hits such as “Sleigh Ride” and “Baby Please Come Home.” A bassoon quartet seamlessly transitioned from Carol of the Bells to various Christmas carols and hymns and filled the hall with rich consonance. Capping off the program was a student-written musical arranged by IU composition major Kenji Kuriyama. The Hoosier Pops Orchestra, illuminated by icicle lights above, provided accompaniment. The musical acts on Sunday were interspersed with brief speeches from Middle Way House staff and volunteers.

Emma DeLillo, member of Movement Exchage dance ensemble, performs Sunday night as part of “Ernie Jo’s Christmas Spectacular.”
“It means so much that you guys came out here and are supporting us tonight,” Middle Way House staff member Emily Milner said. “It shows us that there
are students who want to help, get involved, and make Bloomington a violence-free community — for that I am so grateful.” Rice, a member of the
mental-health organization U Bring Change 2 Mind, also stood to give a quick thanks to the audience and summarize mission. “It’s known that 50 per-
cent of women who have suffered from physical, sexual or emotional abuse will also suffer with mental illness,” Rice said. “Let’s help spread the word.”
Jacobs students reflect on past semester, look forward By Jesse Naranjo jlnaranj@indiana.edu @jesselnaranjo
As Jacobs School of Music students complete their semester’s last performances, some reflect on what they did strongly and what they look forward to next semester. Freshman Bailey Bennett, a double bass performance student, said the group he worked with most this semester was the University Orchestra. The main piece Bennett’s orchestra worked on was composer Felix Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture. Bennett said he liked how Mendelssohn told a story in the composition.
“The piece that he wrote was inspired by the calm seas and then the raging waters, and it does a great job of painting that,” Bennett said. Bennett said he performed his first Beethoven symphony this semester, the composer’s seventh. A bonus for him was working with retired IU conductor David Effron, who he said returned for this performance. “As a freshman I’d never really seen him before, so it was my first time seeing him and working with him,” Bennett said. “It was a great experience because of his orchestral knowledge.” He said something to look forward to next semester is a bass concerto competi-
tion, where students will play Giovanni Bottesini’s second bass concerto. The technical range of bass playing exhibited by Bottesini’s music is something to look forward to, Bennett said. “It will be fantastic, and that’s not just because I’m a bass player,” Bennett said. Bennett said the music school features a range of orchestras and ensembles, open to music and non-music majors alike. “It’s still a great balance overall,” Bennett said. “Each orchestra has their strengths and weaknesses.” Miguel Menendez, a sophomore pursuing a double major in music composition and tuba performance, said
what he looks forward to the most next semester are performances by the New Music Ensemble, a group dedicated to performing contemporary music in a classical setting. Menendez worked with the group this past semester, along with the school’s concert band, symphonic band and various orchestras. He said the New Music Ensemble is comprised of mostly doctoral students and never features more than 25 musicians. “It’s a really spunky group,” Menendez said. “We put on some crazy shows, it’s not your typical Mozart and not your typical Beethoven.” He said much of the music the group plays is new
enough for people unfamiliar with classical music to become attracted it. Out of the music school’s ensembles, he said the New Music Ensemble is the cream of the crop. Menendez said the ensemble performs on traditional instruments, but composers try to change the instruments’ sound with varying techniques. He said this includes putting nails in pianos and incorporating mutes into compositions. “If you’re looking for a really avant-garde experience, if you’re looking for something that might challenge your musical tastes a bit and if you’re looking for something new, something fresh that you’ve never heard, this is the
place to go,” Menendez said. He said the music school features diverse performances to appeal to any music listener’s tastes. The Philharmonic Orchestra is another group to keep an eye on if one is interested in classical music performed professionally, Menendez said. Menendez said if students are interested in next semester’s performances, the music school’s event website is a good place to start. If the site does not feature an event, music listeners can find physical promotions, Menendez said. “Just pop in Jacobs and you’ll see fliers and postings of things that you’ll wanna check out,” Menendez said.

A YEAR IN AIX
4 months in France, 6 more to go in order to accomplish goals Just shy of four months since I wrote my first travel column this semester, I’m sitting down to write the last one. I outlined four concrete goals all the way back in August before I had ever set foot in Aix-en-Provence. My two short-term goals were to lease an apartment and become familiar with the town. Both have long since been accomplished, but assuredly it was not easy. I still can remember the mad dash to secure a great living situation for the year, but now I’m loving my cute, rustic French house. It’s five minutes from the Cours Mirabeau, and my roommate and host mom are cool. Our host mom even gave us little Christmas presents yesterday. Learning my way around Aix took a little longer with all the tiny, winding streets that are so easy to get lost on. I still probably couldn’t tell you most of the street names here, but I can confidently get to all my favorite spots in the old town and the university on the outskirts for class each day. My long-term goals are still in the works, but I expected that because I have a whole other semester to spend here. First, becoming fluent. I’ve noticed a marked difference in my comprehension. I almost never have problems in lectures, conversation or even watching movies.
Rachel Rosenstock is a sophomore in journalism.
It feels really incredible to get to that point, especially because I have to battle with the southern accent a lot of natives here have. Trust me, when the words for “five” and “hundred” sound exactly the same in your history class, timelines can get a bit rough. However, speaking has become less nerve-racking because I’m forced to talk every day if I want to go out. So many awkward situations have happened that it’s not even a concern anymore. I just expect to have misunderstandings, but I’m also confident that I can work through them. Reading and writing are still in the works, but I’ve always lagged behind in those two categories. I’ve written several papers entirely in French so far that were tough but invaluable to improving my skills. Last but certainly not least is traveling. I’ve visited more than a dozen cities and five countries in just four months, and I count each trip a success. The friendships started here have grown stronger by traveling together and encountering challenging situations — see my Barcelona column. I’ve gone all the way to Norway, somewhere I never imagined being able to visit just a few years ago, and made a third trip to my favorite city, Paris, in the world. Some weekends

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12 Tartaglia said in terms of songwriting, the band has been doing more collaborations recently. He said he wrote the songs for “The Window Room” before Secret Space formed, and now it’s interesting to approach songwriting in a new way. “It brings a different perspective to it,” he said. “You can get really set in your ways about how you hear something if you’re working on it for a long time, but if you’re working on it for like a day or two, sometimes it turns out better.” Tartaglia said when he started writing the album, he isolated himself to avoid the distractions of modern life while writing. “That’s like my quarterlife crisis right there,” he said. “You kind of are getting old enough to look at your life and start questioning things. I was just really trying to take stock of things and those 10 songs are what came out of it.” Tartaglia said Secret Space differs from previous bands he has been in because it has already begun to grow a fan base. He said he likes hearing people’s perspective on the album and what it means to them personally. “The people who have heard this record seem to really love it, and it seems to be growing on them too,” he said. “If anyone wants to check out our music, it can definitely be personal, and it can definitely mean something different to people when people listen and relate to it.” risk losing what you’ve got to get more. Wait for a nebulous possibility to materialize. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 9 — Collaborate with a partner today and tomorrow. Compromise on details. Allow for emotional release. Invest in creative work that you love. Encourage and support each other.

TRACK & FIELD
Hoosiers set three records at opening meet By Michael Ramirez michrami@umail.iu.edu | @mramirez9
IU track and field opened its season with a bang when it was the host of the Hoosier Open on Friday. IU was host to Kentucky, Purdue and Tennessee and broke three school records. Sophomore Katherine Receveur broke the school record in the 5K run. Sophomore Willie Morrison broke the school record in shot put by more than a foot and went on to win the event. The third school record broken Friday was broken by sophomore Kyle Mau, who won the men’s 3K. IU Coach Ron Helmer said he was very impressed and proud of his team as a whole and hopes they will continue that trend throughout the season. “We had some really good opponents this weekend,” Helmer said. “We have a lot of work to do but very encouraging with what we had. Willie broke the school record with a really good throw, and I was so impressed to see that from him as a sophomore.” Helmer spoke highly of his athletes who broke the three school records Friday and
said he was very impressed with Morrison’s throw in shot put. “Those are the kind of things that we want to happen, and the shot put record is such an impressive record to be broken,” he said. “We had some quality athletes who competed at a high level and are only going to get better as the season progresses.” IU won eight out of 23 events Friday, seven of them being racing events. Coming into the meet IU Coach Ed Beathea said the team was confident in its distance runners, and he proved to be right when the meet was finished. Beathea said he didn’t think there were certain individuals that stood out for the rest of the team, but the distance runners showed out at the Hoosier Open, partially due to the athletes’ crosscountry conditioning. Helmer said this certainly helps, but they also caught their competition off guard as they looked as though the traveling this early in the season affected their performances. “Everybody who won ran really well, but comparatively speaking, those events weren’t that strong,” Helmer

said. “The teams aren’t ready to travel this early, and we took advantage.” Helmer said it’s hard to tell what the team’s seasonal goals are as a whole, but they
have been preparing since early September. He said he hopes his athletes will invest in the process as the season goes along. “It’s very much a pro-
cess, and that’s the way our mentality is,” he said. “The results will get us where we want to be. We focused on having our workouts be at a high level in the fall, and I
feel like we’ve done that. For me, we have a number of talented people who haven’t lined up yet, and when they do, it will add more depth for our team.”
WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
Amanda Cahill’s stability leads IU to blowout win By Josh Eastern jeastern@iu.edu | @JoshEastern
IU junior forward Amanda Cahill was battling down in the post all game long against Valparaiso’s leading scorer, Dani Franklin. The Hoosier kept getting hit and bodied up, but as she normally does, Cahill just kept playing her game. In the end, she earned a double-double. Behind 16 points and 11 rebounds from Cahill, the Hoosiers dispatched the
Crusaders, 87-58, Sunday in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. “It was a physical game,” Cahill said. “We came into the game wanting to do that and make sure we got box outs and more physical in the post and not letting them get easy buckets. I got kind of bumped in the nose — it was a little rough, but it was good.” Cahill tallied six offensive rebounds to go along with a double-double. Those six rebounds on the offensive glass were more than any
Crusader. There were two plays Cahill made that stuck out to IU Coach Teri Moren. The first was when Cahill had a high-post jumper that she was able to knock down with a hand in her face. The second came when she got on the floor for a 50-50 ball to swing the momentum heading into halftime. The latter play didn’t show up in the box score but gave IU a spark of energy. “It may not be her best game, but you’re going to get
her best effort every night,” Moren said. “That’s what we love about having a kid like Amanda Cahill on our team.” It was the Clyde, Ohio, native’s 20th career doubledouble. She also grabbed at least six rebounds for the 10th time in as many games along with scoring in double figures for the ninth time this season. From the field, Cahill shot the ball right around the team’s average. She was 6-of-14 from the field in 28 minutes while making one of her four
3-point attempts. Cahill has shown throughout the season that she can do it all for the Hoosiers. She showed it Sunday on both sides of the ball. The double-double showed what she did on the offensive end. On the defensive end, she played her lock-down style of defense. Franklin came into the game averaging upwards of 21 points. Cahill contained her, as Franklin finished with 18 points on just 5-of-16 from the field.
Cahill bought into what Moren had to say about the defense after the Northern Kentucky this week in practice. “After the Northern Kentucky game, we really focused on the defense,” IU junior guard Tyra Buss said. “We allowed the 58 points, which I don’t think Coach Moren will be very happy about in practice, but I think we’re going to watch film and see what the defensive breakdowns were and work on that for the next week.”
