IU’s Chinese New Year celebration brought about 1,000 students, faculty and families to IU Auditorium for authentic Asian food, hip-hop, traditional dancing and comedic acts.

The event was hosted by the Indiana University Chinese Students and Scholars Association. Along with authentic Asian cuisine, the festival’s guests enjoyed more than 10 performing acts, from the hip-hop dance group X-Power to a comedy show titled “IU Midnight Talk.�

The celebration kicked off with authentic Asian food, including chilled Asian noodles, cooked spicy greens and an assortment of different types of beef, pork and chicken.

Indiana Republicans have defined their fiscal priorities for Indiana’s budget, and public education is the target of a number of budgetary changes.

House Bill 1001, which was coauthored by Rep. Timothy Brown, R-Crawfordsville, and Rep. Gregory Porter, D-Indianapolis, will define the budget for the state of Indiana for the next two fiscal years, starting July 1 of this year. It is the first bill on the schedule to be read in the Indiana House of Representatives today.

Public education has come under heavy scrutiny from the state Republicans in recent weeks, and with some adjustments to the education budget, major changes could be observed in the next couple of years.

For fiscal years 2016 and 2017, a total operational budget of approximately $31.66 billion and $31.69 billion have been proposed, respectively.

Of the total operational budget, approximately $11.20 billion and $11.34 billion have been proposed specifically for education in the fiscal years 2016 and 2017, respectively. This is compared to the $11 billion estimated for fiscal year 2015 and $10.47 billion spent in fiscal year 2014.

The education budget includes State Student Assistance Commission, primary, secondary and higher education, tuition support and other costs associated with local school districts.

Both HB 1001 and Gov. Mike Pence’s recommended budget that SEE BUDGET, PAGE 6

Comparing education funding increases $469 million House Bill 1001 proposes a larger increase of funding for education over the next two years than in Pence’s proposed budget. HB 1001 proposes $469 million increased over the biennial period.

$333 million Pence’s proposed budget for the fiscal years of 2016 and 2017 call for an increase of $333 million over the biennial period.

Public vs. private education Some of the funds that were intended for public education in previous budgets have been redirected to private educational expenditures, specifically charter schools.

Fuller Projects opens Hoosiers lose final home game collaborative show 67-64

IU alum, visiting lecturer produces bottled water distributed at Oscars

By Courtney Veneri cveneri@indiana.edu | @venericn

Yuri Cataldo’s bottled water, IndigoH2O, was handed out in the Oscars gift bags, which went to nominees and presenters before the event.

Cataldo is an IU graduate and a visiting lecturer at IUSouth Bend’s theater department. He was originally looking to be a designer for theater, but ended up starting his own water company instead. His company is based in Indiana.

IndigoH2O came from Cataldo’s own health problems — his red blood cells are smaller than average, and he said it’s like having mononucleosis all the time. There wasn’t much medical doctors could do for him.

“I went to some natural doctors and we looked at my mineral and vitamin intake, and at the heart of that we realized my body was really dehydrated as well,” Cataldo said.

“I felt like my life was kind of given back to me because I had just been so exhausted all the time and I couldn’t really do much of anything.”

The idea to take that idea and turn it into a company came from Cataldo’s inability to find what he said was quality bottled water.

“When the economy took a huge drop in 2008, all my jobs dried up,” Cataldo said.

“I decided I wanted to start a company, and at the time I spent a lot of time researching bottled water.”

IndigoH2O water is infused with calcium and minerals that most people don’t get enough of in their daily diet. The water is bottled in glass, protecting it from the chemicals in plastic.

The company has won numerous awards and, most recently, won the 25th annual Berkley Springs International Water Tasting competition.

“It is the largest water tasting in the world and over 100 bottles were entered,” Castaldo said. “In 2013 we won the bronze, 2014 the silver and now in 2015 we won gold.”

Aside from winning awards, IndigoH2O has been handed out at numerous celebrity events such as the MTV Video Music Awards, the Emmys, the Golden Globes and now the Oscars.

“Knowing it’s going to be in the hands of celebrities is a humbling experience,” Cataldo said.

Cataldo got the opportunity to have his water given out at these events in 2012, the same year his company started. He met with someone from the company who coordinates the gift bags and he said he made a good impression on them, which led to them asking to give his water out at the Oscars.

“We had a quick turnaround and I had to help package the bottles,” Cataldo said. “So, it was very surreal to know that the packages I had touched were going straight to Burbank.”

Glitz, glamour, talent and making a difference was the recipe for this year’s Miss IU. Lauren Mnayarji was crowned Miss IU 2015 last night.

She was also judged the winner of the talent portion and South Central Indiana Kiwanis’ “One Can Make a Difference” award.

Mnayarji, standing at 4 feet, 11 1/2 inches, said she never thought she would compete in pageants due to her height.

After taking two years away from pageantry, Mnayarji said Miss IU the only pageant that would bring her back on stage.

“Because it’s not about how tall you are, or how skinny you are,” she said.

“It’s more about who you are and what you represent, and I love that.”

Thirteen young women competed for the title of Miss IU in the Alumni Hall at the Indiana Memorial Union last night.

An opening number,

coordinated by T.J. Moore from Terre Haute, silenced the crowd.

All eyes were on the contestants as they marched and danced to “Grown Woman” by Beyonce.

They were dressed in heels, jeans and crimson shirts with “Miss Indiana University” bedazzled onto the front.

Contestants competed in four categories of the evening: on-stage question/statement of platform, talent, swimsuit and evening gown.

Contestants answered questions for the first section of the evening, then entered the talent portion.

Talents included singing, dancing, poetry and even speed-sewing.

Mnayarji won this portion with her contemporary dance routine choreographed to “All Coming Back to Me Now” by Celine Dion.

Quesley Bunch, Miss Crossroads to America 2015, said Mnayarji is passionate with her dancing and “really comes alive through Celine Dion” in her performances.

Mnayarji also won SCI

Kiwanis’ “One Can Make a Difference” award with her “Mental Health Advocacy and Awareness” platform as Miss IU. At the end of the night, all of the contestants held hands before hearing the results of the judge’s scores.

Katelyn Mehling, Interview Winner of the evening, said her experience with the pageant has been “nothing short of awesome.” Her favorite part of the Miss IU journey was meeting and getting to know the other contestants.

She said the girls were all helpful and supportive of each other during the process of preparation for the competition.

From the scores of each section, the women had the opportunity to be awarded several different titles.

The chain of pageant girls broke one-by-one as they were called to accept their awards. Ali Harris was titled First Runner-Up, and Kyla Brummett was the Second Runner-Up. Brummett was also titled Miss Congeniality of the evening, receiving roses and a DVD set of the Miss Con-

Trustees decide residence hall rates

By Ashleigh Sherman aesherma@indiana.edu | @aesherma

The IU Board of Trustees addressed residence hall housing rates and parking during Friday’s meeting.

The IU Board of Trustees is IU’s governing board, legal owner and final authority, according to the IU Board of Trustee’s website.

The Board met Thursday at IU-Purdue University Indianapolis for the Finance, Audit and Strategic Planning Committee, chaired

by Andrew Mohr, and the University Relations Committee, chaired by James Morris.

During the Finance, Audit and Strategic Planning Committee, the trustees approved 2015-2016 residence hall housing rates.

Approximately 12,600 IU-Bloomington students live in residence halls or in campus apartments, MaryFrances McCourt, IU senior vice president and chief financial officer, said in an email.

The cost of the most commonly requested room and board package at IUBloomington will increase by $302, or 3.2 percent.

That package includes an air-conditioned, double-occupancy room in a mid-amenity hall and a standard meal plan.

In comparison, the most commonly requested room and board package will increase by 3.3 percent at IUPUI, 2.1 percent at IU South Bend and 2 percent at IU Southeast.

The rate of increase,

however, will depend on the room and board package, with the cost of rooms increasing anywhere from 0.5 percent to 4 percent and the cost of a standard meal plan increasing by $50, or 1.6 percent.

These increases depend on the room and board package chosen by the student, changing with the selection of a single rooms or larger meal plan for instance.

Increases are intended to cover depreciation, maintenance and utilities, McCourt said.

McCourt also updated the trustees on the implementation of the parking strategic plan.

In October 2013, the trustees endorsed the recommendation that IU maintain control of its parking operations rather than allowing a third party to take control.

In February 2014, the trustees endorsed the Internal Parking Strategic Implementation Plan.

“This endorsement was based on disciplined implementation of a clearly articulated, strategic parking plan with identified economic benefits,” McCourt said. “The university parking committee has worked collaboratively with unwavering commitment to deliver on that plan.”

McCourt said the university parking committee has standardized parking citations for parking violations on the IU-Bloomington and IUPUI campuses

and has adopted a longterm, university-wide repair and maintenance plan for parking assets.

Furthermore, the university parking committee has established a parking management peer group that includes parking management representatives from each campus.

This parking management peer group has developed long-term, university-wide financial models for parking assets, among other accomplishments.

The trustees also approved the issuance of tax exempt debt, including the issuance of tax exempt bonds, to fund two projects.

These projects include the expansion of campus housing at IUPUI and phase two of renovations to Read Residence Center.

The expansion of campus housing is estimated to cost $45.2 million.

The phase two of renovations to Read are expect-

Phase two of renovations to Read will include adding new, more easily accessible student rooms, adding new closet and storage layouts, installing new central air conditioning and updating fire protection systems, according to the agenda.

The next Board of Trustees meeting is April 1618 on the Bloomington campus.

Riley Colley was given the People’s Choice Award, or “crowd favorite” of the evening.

Erika Burghardt, Miss IU 2014, was unable to attend last night’s competition in order to crown this year’s winner due to a conflict of her work schedule in Milwaukee.

Instead, the stage was left empty while Burghardt’s prerecorded farewell speech played for the crowd.

She said her goodbye was especially hard because she was not able to be in attendance for the pageant and deliver her goodbye in person.

She said she feels her speech was not saying goodbye as Miss IU, but rather “switching positions.”

After Mnayarji’s name was called, the crowd could see her saying “thank you” and “you girls are the best” several times.

Mnayarji won close to $2,000 in scholarships, as well as several prizes, by the end of the night. She said she feels “overjoyed (and) super honored to represent this school” as Miss IU 2015.

Student advocates for flexible meal plan

Doctoral student receives award, research funding

By Eman Mozaffar emozaffa@indiana.edu

IKE HAJINAZARIAN | IDS

Sophomore Brian Francke made an online petition for a class advocating for the Indiana Memorial Union Food Court to accept meal points. Francke said that if students are already spending money on a meal plan, they should be able to use it at the IMU.

By Bridget Murray bridmurr@indiana.edu @bridget_murray

Students are advocating to use meal points at dining areas in the Indiana Memorial Union through an online petition.

The petition, created on change.org by sophomore Brian Francke, began as an assignment for a telecommunications course.

It has 116 signatures as of Sunday.

He said the assignment demonstrated how social media acts as an instigator of change.

The petition spread quickly, he said, reaching his set goal of 100 signatures in 12 hours.

Once the petition reaches the set amount of signatures, change.org automatically contacts the “decision makers” tagged by the creator.

Chris Gray, resident district manager of IMU Dining Services, was the only tagged source who responded.

He said the student voice surrounding this issue is influential to him and it should always have strength.

“I would never want the student voice to go away. I mean, they should have the voice on it — they’re the ones that buy it and use it,” Gray said.

Although the petition addresses the IMU Dining Services and RPS together, Director for Dining Services Sandra Fowler said they are separate entities.

“There’s actually three different food service departments on campus,” she said.

The Union, RPS and the athletic department each have their own dining services.

“The regular meal plan, (the) RPS meal plan, can’t be used at the IMU,” she said.

Gray said the IMU has pitched ideas about a collaborative, flexible meal

plan to RPS several times, but none have taken off.

One such plan, UBUCKS, was administered through IMU Dining and sold by RPS. It was modeled by the IBUCKS plan, Gray said, but was a separate meal plan accepted at the Union and Wells Library. The plan had to be bought alongside an RPS meal plan.

Gray said the plan was negotiated and finally offered to students in Fall 2011.

However, the plan ran into promotional issues.

“We had a lot of issues with the way it was being promoted,” Gray said.

The plan had to be ordered online through RPS, Gray said, and was often challenging to find on the website.

He said between 700 and 800 people were ultimately on the plan.

Gray said IMU Dining was asked to discontinue U-Bucks in spring of 2013 to make way for the Hoosier Bucks flexible plan initiated

by RPS. The Union accepted U-Bucks until Dec. 31, 2014.

Hoosier Bucks was presented to IMU Dining as a simpler version of U-Bucks, where money could be put into a “flex cloud” and used anywhere on campus, Gray said.

However, Gray said, the plan had added stipulations for users and unforeseen fees for the IMU that made it look questionable.

The Hoosier Bucks plan was taken offline after two semesters, Gray said, and Hoosier Bucks could not be accepted past June 30, 2014.

“The bottom line is that I would like nothing more than a base, mid and toptier meal plan to be offered that include a fair measure of flexibility for students to use in the IMU,” he said.

“The plans must be simple to understand, simple to select and be offered with bursar billing to make it easier for parents to budget for.”

Executive Director of

“I would never want the student voice to go away. I mean, they should have the voice on it — they’re the ones that buy it and use it.”

Chris Gray, Resident district manager of IMU Dining Services

RPS Pat Connor made an official statement in an email regarding a combined meal plan.

“We understand that this is an issue that students care about,” Gray said in an email. “It’s an issue that we’ve tried to address in a number of ways over the years. It’s complicated by several constraints related to history and contracts, but we will put this on our agenda and are happy to think through options that will work for IUB students and all operational parties that would be involved.”

Gray said a combined plan should be possible and he hopes RPS would consider a flexible option as a value added.

“I want to protect their money but give people flexibility, too,” he said. “If they were able to add the value of a flexible option in there too, they would probably sell more plans.”

Although short-lived, Gray said he considered past versions of the flexible meal plan to be successful.

“The last couple of plans that have been in place, we’ve seen a lot of participation in them,” he said.

Fowler said past collaborative plans have not had enough success to balance out the administrative costs involved.

“There really hasn’t been the interest that one would think there might be the last two times that we’ve tried it,” Fowler said.

Although Francke said the petition has become less active in the past few days, he said he wants to continue his efforts.

Kelley School of Business doctoral student Eric Holtzman has been selected as a recipient of the Deloitte Doctoral Fellowship in Accounting.

The fellowship, which was awarded to 10 accounting Ph.D. candidates across the nation, provides research funding for the students to complete their doctoral dissertations, as well as their final year of coursework.

Schools are permitted to select one student’s application to submit each year. The application takes into consideration working papers, transcripts, potential thesis topics and other criteria.

The fellowship is sponsored by Deloitte, which is the largest professional services network in the world.

Through the fellowship, the network seeks to train and maximize the potential of students who are looking to enter the world of business academia. “(The external faculty selection committee) selects the top fellows based on likelihood of success as researchers and teachers in accounting,” Communications Director of Deloitte Amy Gautschi said.

Holtzman, who received his undergraduate education from Virginia Tech in finance and his graduate education from Johns Hopkins University in economics, arrived at IU after a nine-year career in forensic accounting and litigation consulting in Washington, D.C. He also took various accounting classes to become a certified professional

accountant.

During his time as both a student and a consultant, in which he completed extensive investigation work and testified in court regarding litigation disputes, Holtzman developed an interest in academic research in accounting.

“I talked to my wife and told her, ‘I’d like to get a Ph.D.,’” Holtzman said. “After a few chuckles, she really suggested that I go after it.”

Holtzman applied to several schools, one of which was IU’s Kelley School of Business. After seeing the campus, he knew it was the right fit for him and his family.

“I really enjoy my interactions with the faculty and students here,” Holtzman said. “They have been supportive of my work and have made being a student a great experience for me.”

According to Holtzman, academic research is an integral part of being a doctoral student, and the Deloitte Fellowship’s $25,000 grant will aid in the completion of his doctoral dissertation near the end of his time at IU, which he estimates will take 2 1/2 more years.

“My research mostly looks at how capital markets use accounting information,” Holtzman said. “I investigate the causes and consequences of information asymmetry and when it’s beneficial for those involved.”

Holtzman plans to stay in academics, most likely a large research insitution, after he completes his studies.

He said he wants to be a part of a team that instructs and inspires the incoming generation of business hopefuls.

This week, IU Recreational Sports will host Celebrate EveryBODY Week at the Student Recreational Sports Center. The program has been going on since 2007.

IU Rec Sports is joining Counseling and Psychological Services, Residential Programs and Services and Coalition for Overcoming Problem Eating/Exercise to host this week.

With events Monday through Thursday, the week is aimed at making students aware of resources they can use to confront eating disorders and negative body image.

“It is all centered around trying to get people to be comfortable with who they are, inside and outside,” said Andy Fry, the assistant director of Fitness and Wellness.

Celebrate Your Body Day begins Monday with COPE tabling and promoting from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the SRSC Lobby. Later on, there will be a free yoga session at 6 p.m. in the SRSC MS1.

On Tuesday, “Tank Yourself” will be from 7 to 8 p.m. in the SRSC Cardio/ Circuit Gym. Purple tank tops with backward silver lettering will be given away.

Because the theme of the week is “Change the way you see, not the way you look,” the backward lettering on the tank tops causes students to look in the mirror to read the message.

“Rock What You’ve Got,” a hip-hop session, will take place from 8:30 to 9:15 p.m.

Wednesday in SRSC MS1.

Lastly, a pedaling session “Pedal for Positivity” will be held from 5:45 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the SRSC CycleFit Studio.

Fry said all of these events will play music with positive body messages to keep participants aware of this week’s goal.

Fry said all of the staff will wear Celebrate EveryBODY Week shirts, and all facilities will promote healthy body image.

“And on top of that, you will see writing on the mirrors and some mirrors covered in the bathroom, some things on our scales that are just promoting healthy body image throughout all of our facilities,” Fry said. “So it’s not just an event where someone will experience that, it’s just even coming in the doors they’ll experience it.”

Fry said he thinks this week is important because everyone on IU’s campus knows someone who has struggled with body image or an eating disorder.

“The whole goal is positivity, but it’s shining light on a dark subject,” Fry said. “People aren’t alone in struggling through this and fighting with unhealthy body image.”

After Glenn Buratti’s mother posted her anguish over the party online, locals started

EDITORIAL BOARD

QUE SARAH, SARAH

Forging history isn’t “patriotic”

Changing corporate Michael Homan is a senior in journalism.

Last week, Rashad Robinson wrote an article for Al Jazeera acknowledging how tempting is it to assume that corporations are unreachable entities that only bend to quarterly returns.

But Robinson, the executive director for ColorOfChange, a 501(c) nonprofit that “exists to strengthen Black America’s political voice,” is a beaming example of just how wrong that assumption is.

Among other successful campaigns, ColorOfChange waged an effective boycott on the American Legislative Exchange Council at the end of 2011, which Robinson suggests marked a turning point in consumer-corporation relations and accountability.

It should be noted that ALEC isn’t exactly your everyday corporation.

ALEC works with corporate lobbyists to submit and push “model legislation,” characteristically in a way that redefines the rights of the people as to better serve their own agendas.

You may recall some corporate entity pushing for voter ID laws — which was really a shallow attempt to bar certain Americans from their right to a voice — aimed to disenfranchise black people, students, the poor, etc. That was ALEC. Robinson is adamant: despite their corporate clout, when approached the right way, these companies may be more accountable to the public than thought otherwise.

Because their Achilles heel is always out in the open, what could be more significant to the consumer base your company depends on than your brand image?

Robinson’s message to corporations supporting ALEC was uncomplicated — you can’t take black people’s business at day then deny their voice at night.

Through public petitioning and private outreach, public advocacy groups like ColorOfChange helped disband ALEC’s public safety and elections task force, which was also responsible for the ever-relevant “stand your ground” legislation.

I don’t think Robinson is saying it’s easy to hold a mega-company in check, but that he wants to sincerely assert an attitude that may be contrary to common misconception — black consumers having a lot of weight in regulating how companies manage their businesses.

However, I would be cautious in presuming that these corporations see much further than their own image. For example, juggernaut companies still aren’t putting people first.

Unfortunately, if these companies had simply been more inclusive and aware, this backdoor webbing of corporate influence and private practice wouldn’t be around.

Because of the Supreme Court’s 2010 decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the 2010 and 2012 election cycles saw unprecedented amounts of outside spending.

Many corporations involved with these questionable maneuvers also insist on corporate personhood, so that they might have a voice like anyone else.

This is strange to me, but I don’t know many people who would put a price tag on their voice for a fatter paycheck at the expense of others.

The big picture here is that the corporate movements toward commonsense egalitarian policy are largely reactionary. Groups like ColorOfChange exist to address issues that belong in our past, not our present.

Corporations should not have to be incentivized to care about their consumers. michoman@umail.iu.edu

In the eye of the industry WE SAY: A leap for fashion, but at what price?

Actress Jamie Brewer of “American Horror Story” became the first model with Down syndrome to appear on the runway in New York Fashion Week on Feb. 12.

While this represents a laudable move toward greater inclusiveness in the fashion industry, a cynic would point out that her appearance could likely be nothing more than a publicity stunt. Even worse, it’s possible she shouldn’t even be called a model at all, since it was a philanthropic event and not a traditional fashion show.

Our expectations of these media schemes have become so great that, often, we immediately assume an event such as this is truly nothing more than a publicity stunt. Even more so, we assume people with mental disabilities cannot function in the normal echelons of society and therefore, in the end, this is charity — any form of charity by large organizations “has” to be self-serving.

It is no surprise we think this way.

Consider any foundation that helps achieve the dreams of the weakened — the people who are physically or mentally disabled — implying they need a charitable foundation in order for these to happen.

Also, take into account how oil companies often donate large sums of money to aquariums or zoos. It is seen as inadequate compensation to make up for the realities of oil spills or habitat destruction.

The Editorial Board is curious why we place so much emphasis on the impossibilities of a girl with Down syndrome, or anyone for that matter, to become a model. Certainly, there are physical qualifications one must have. But a career as a model is enticing, even though it’s nothing more than acting as a strutting coat hanger when viewing the job objectively.

There is the glamorous lifestyle, but it’s more than likely the career makes the lifestyle, not the other way around.

Much of the appeal and the status

has to do with sexualization of entertainment. Since a girl with Down syndrome doesn’t fit the picture of the American-idealized woman (often white, size 0 and heterosexual), it is impossible for her to access that sphere. It seems like natural discrimination, similar to an unathletic person attempting to make it to the Olympics without the years of effort.

Except, in this case, the people going to the Olympics are chosen not for their skills, but for a set of completely subjective characteristics. Then the people demonstrating these subjective characteristics are chosen almost exclusively and are selected at a far greater proportion.

Perhaps it’s a case of serendipity that Jamie Brewer, whose character in the first season of “American Horror Story” only wanted to be pretty, ended up on the catwalk. Then again, maybe it was no coincidence at all and this is, just as we feared, a publicity stunt. The world may never know.

WHIZZLES AND BANGS

The daily challenge we all face It’s so easy to get caught up in the negative things in your life. It’s effortless to let yourself get bogged down in the things that you don’t like about your life or things that you see in the media.

The media and the people surrounding you have an enormous impact on the way you live your life and the way you feel about your body. Everything is just thrown at you and you are left to process it for yourself.

Sometimes, it can feel like you’re drowning in the gloom, and you’ll never be able to find your way out.

But just one ounce of positivity can change everything.

An ounce of positivity can help anyone change their perspective and feel hopeful.

So the challenge: each day, find something positive in your life and learn to appreciate it and incorporate that positivity into the way you perceive yourself.

I challenge everyone to fill their life with positivity, because if you fill your life with positivity, there is no room for negativity.

Challenge your friends to be positive.

Share the positivity and spread it around. Positivity is not something to be selfish with.

Being positive is like a small chain reaction — once you start the action, everyone around you perceives a difference and alters their behavior to match yours.

Give your friends, family and even random

strangers compliments when you think they need it, or even when they don’t.

Let others know why they are important to you and reach out to them and let them know that they are enough just as they are.

I think we all get caught up in our bad days or the bad things that are around us, whatever that may be, and we forget to be grateful for all the wonderful people in our lives or the amazing things we ourselves can do.

I pose this positivity challenge to you as readers and members of the community because I was just reminded I often forget to look for the good in my life.

I was so taken aback when I came to that realization that I immediately wanted to go shout to the

Tracy Johnson is a senior in English literature.

high heavens everything that I appreciate and love about myself, my life, my family and everything that matters to me.

I want to give back to those who have made my life what it is and give them something to be happy about, and that starts with something as simple as a smile or a thank you.

Use this challenge to be the positive change you wish to see in the world and you never know what might happen. johnstra@indiana.edu

In 1905, writer George Santayana wrote “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

A little more than a century later, Oklahoma finds itself embroiled in an educational and ideological conflict centered on the same denial of which Santayana warned: citizens’ refusal to accept or acknowledge the dark periods in our nation’s history.

On Feb. 16, Oklahoma’s legislative committee on education voted 11-4 to pass a bill forbidding teachers from offering Advanced Placement United States History because the course was deemed unpatriotic for its unflinching portrayal of America’s tumultuous and often violent past.

“We are a wonderfully diverse state, but the Tulsa race riots, the Trail of Tears — those things happened,” said Linda Hampton, president of the Oklahoma Education Association, in Newsweek. “We can’t sanitize history.”

Oklahoma lawmakers are determined to do just that.

According to Newsweek, House Bill 1380 was first supported by Rep. Daniel Fisher.

A Republican, Fisher is also a member of the Black Robe Regiment, a group that seeks to deconstruct the “false wall of the separation of church and state” by integrating religion — specifically Christianity — more deeply into public schools.

His rationale for banning the teaching of AP U.S. History stemmed solely from his objection to the course’s failure to teach “American exceptionalism” to students.

But Oklahoma isn’t the only state working to eradicate history: the Georgia Senate condemned the AP U.S. History exam administered by the College Board for its “consistently negative view of American history” in a resolution earlier this month.

It is exactly this glorification of Americana with which I take issue, because it is simply inaccurate.

No aspect of America or American culture is in any way superior to other nations or cultures, and promoting such an idea is a blatant misrepresentation of reality.

Patriotism is not at stake in this debate; pride in one’s nation of origin is both common and commendable.

The motivations of the legislators in Oklahoma to remove an educational opportunity from their state’s classrooms is not patriotism, but deliberate disillusionment and academic neglect.

Using ignorance to promote extreme nationalism has a long and rich history, and the willful and deliberate misleading of America’s youth by editing the dark moments of our nation’s past out of their curriculum rings far too familiar of a Huxley novel for comfort.

In our culture, honesty bears a taboo — the truth makes us incredibly vulnerable by forcing us to confront aspects of reality we may find less than glamorous or downright difficult to stomach.

America, along with arguably every other country across the globe, has enjoyed innumerable triumphs and has committed countless crimes.

However, as Santayana and countless thinkers before him have attempted to remind us, unflinching retrospection is equitable to collective introspection.

As a nation and as a human race, the only way in which we may feel qualified to hope for a brighter future is to consciously correct the mistakes of the past. sbkissel@umail.iu.edu

Education voucher participation in Indiana is five times higher than in 2011, according to a study completed at IU’s Center for Evaluation and Education Policy.

Eligibility to receive an education voucher in Indiana is among the least restrictive in the nation.

In the 2013-14 school year, Indiana awarded 19,809 vouchers to students across the state. In the 2011-12 school year, the state gave out 3,911 vouchers.

The scholarship pays either 90 percent or 50 percent of tuition and fees at private schools.

Tap bar aims to differentiate itself in town

By Courtney Robb crobb@indiana.edu | @courttykayy

Bloomington isn’t a town known to be a complete stranger to the bar scene.

The Tap, a downtown bar, is working hard to differentiate itself from other bars in town.

The Tap, which originally opened in late 2012, opened a brewpub in November 2014. The bar focuses on craft beer and does not offer any liquor or domestic macro beer.

What’s important to the Tap is offering fresh craft beer and delivering a great experience, Nathan Finney, owner of the Tap, said.

“Our beers are always rotating,” Finney said in an email. “With 50 guest beers on tap, 500 bottles and 18 of our very own brewery beer, we can offer many unique and hard-to-find beers.

There is always something for everyone.”

Since expanding into a brewpub, Finney said sales for the bar have been good and increasing. Finney is planning on opening a second location this summer in Indianapolis in the Massachusetts Avenue district and continuing its trend of providing craft beer as a microbrewery.

Not only does the Tap feature craft beer, but it also has an easygoing environment that its customers can expect when coming to the bar.

“The Tap has a laidback atmosphere,” Finney said. “We offer a modern and comfortable environment that makes it easy to socialize and unwind.”

Finney said he wants to make the bar known to the community as a place people can go to unwind at the end of their day with quality beer, entertainment, live acoustic music and a

menu full of food to complement the beers that the bar offers.

He said the staff spends their time working hard to provide a great experience for the guests that come and visit each day.

“I like all the different beers that they have,” customer Christy Travis said. ”It’s a really good place to expand your knowledge on beers. I love the live music they have. It’s relaxing and great to hang out with a group of friends or go on a date. It’s somewhere you can go and feel like you can have a really good time and have great service.”

Finney said the Tap is determined to educate its customers on great beer as opposed to typical beers you could find at any other bar in Bloomington. The quality of its beers is a standard that the Tap prides itself on, as well as something their customers are aware of as a consistency from the bar.

“I’ve tried a lot of their own craft beers. I like how their menu is set up and how they’re really good about letting you try samples,” Travis said. “That’s something that’s really good about the Tap, that they have a lot of different kinds of stuff, whether you’re experienced or not.”

The Tap wants to complete its goal of educating people about quality craft beer from hardworking microbreweries across the U.S., Finney said. The Tap provides an education on craft beer for everyone, whether a person is an experienced drinker or a complete novice.

“We hope that the Tap leaves a legacy on Bloomington in regards to always being a place they can depend on for great beer and establishing good memories,” Finney said.

Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers will make the third annual State of Higher Education Address at noon today in the Indiana Statehouse.

This year’s address will focus on Indiana’s “emerging position as a national leader” in policies, programs and

funding incentives that support individuals in completing education beyond high school, according to a press release.

Lubbers is expected to emphasize the increasing connections between education and employment, according to the release.

Daymon Stewart was arrested in the early morning Saturday on charges of strangulation and battery, according to a Bloomington Police Department report.

The 40-year-old male allegedly strangled his 19-year-old girlfriend in the parking garage of IU Health Bloomington Hospital.

They had been at the hospital together while she was receiving treatment for a medical issue.

According to the report, he became upset with the female because he had seen her go on a date with another man during a break in their relationship. He became angry and left the hospital.

She followed him into the parking garage where Stewart allegedly pushed her to the floor and placed his left hand around

her throat.

He then let her up before pushing her against the concrete wall of the parking garage and restricting her air flow. She left Stewart and went back into the hospital for treatment and to report the battery, according to the report.

Police located Stewart, who admitted to grabbing the woman’s shirt in an attempt to “calm her down” and denied choking her, Sgt. Ryan Pedigo said.

Police tried to review the hospital’s video surveillance but could only view surveillance of the hospital lobby, where part of the assault happened, Sgt. Pedigo said.

Stewart was arrested and booked into jail around 2:30 a.m. Saturday, according to the report.

His bail is set at $4,000.

The process of inspiration, Meza said, was ongoing. Throughout the project, certain arrangements of televisions looked better with a specific video playing in them.

“Throughout getting the TVs, also, ideas flourished,” she said. “The tiny TVs were good, they work really well with that video too.”

What was onscreen ranged from the natural to the unnatural. One set showed only footage of grass blowing in the wind, another showed neon orange flowers over a separate scene of petals falling from the sky.

In an adjoining room, an extended video of plants with an accompanying audio track played. Guests could sit or stand and watch the footage, which Meza said was a collage of both original and borrowed audio and video.

Magdaleno said he does not find the same level of agreement among his peers when he acknowledges the beauty of plants versus people.

he released in January offered increases in funding toward education. However, HB 1001 proposes an increase of $469 million over the biennial period while Pence’s budget only increased the education budget by $333 million.

Some of the funds that were intended for public education in previous budgets have been redirected to private educational expenditures, specifically charter schools.

The bill would increase the current $6,600 grant cap for students in adult learner charter high schools to $6,800 and also provides a grant of $1,500 per student enrolled in a charter school for that charter school.

In a fiscal summary of the proposed budget done by fiscal analyst Alan Gossard, it is estimated that this increase in grant money to charter schools will incur an additional cost of $37.3 million per fiscal year.

At the same time, public education would observe some changes within its own financial system. This is referred to as a “money following the student” plan, which would provide more aid to growing suburban

Accessibility, Magdaleno said, comes from many places one would not expect.

“This wall can be very beautiful, I think,” Magdaleno said. “Things that you don’t necessarily think are that very accessible can be enjoyable.”

Meza said she and Magdaleno have been dating for a while, and he first introduced her to the world of plants and how to care for them.

The first dancing act was “Robot Body.” The act included eight dancers, each of which was adorned in silver clothes, silver face paint and silver glitter, which fell out of their hair with each step they took. The group danced a style of hip-hop similar to krumping. Each movement was calculated and robotic.

The next act to perform was a live radio show called “IU Midnight Talk.” The mock radio show included two hosts and a threeguest series. Each guest consulted the show’s hosts with problems of girls, studying, college life and more girls.

A popular act, judging

by the cheering crowd, was a band called “The Band,” who sang popular American song “Lucky” by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat.

Two of the three lead singers left the stage with fingers locked, only to come out for the next performance.

The dancers performed a number titled “Fleet of Time” that included a couples routine that morphed into a group routine. Behind the dancers were photos of each couple and the different events or activities they have enjoyed while at IU.

Some examples of this include Indianapolis Public Schools, which would lose about $18 million over the next two fiscal years. Hamilton Southeastern, a suburban district, would gain an additional $24 million and North West Hendricks School Corporation, a rural group of schools, would potentially receive an increase of $1.3 million.

A portion of the education budget will be allocated to Teacher Performance Grants to educators throughout the state whose classrooms scored above a certain threshold on ISTEP, Indiana’s standardized test. Fiscal summaries conclude that the impact of these grants amount to approximately $26.6 million each year.

The bill also focuses on some infrastructure investments, including setting aside $200 million each year for major highway projects, which is the same as the current budget.

Funding for public transportation would get an increase of $6.4 million over the biennial period, including $3 million each year to be awarded to the Hoosier State Amtrak line that runs from Indianapolis to Chicago.

on lack of game management from the sideline and young players making young-player mistakes. Moren said she could’ve taken more timeouts to help walk her team through a situation it hadn’t been in.

The loss demonstrated to IU the importance of playing every single possession for 40 minutes.

Saturday, IU got the same result as it did against Minnesota on Jan. 18 — the same result it has 12 times in 16 tries during the Big Ten season.

But there were no regrets.

“I think we definitely fought for the full 40 minutes,” freshman guard Jess Walter said. “I really felt like we were all playing for each other tonight.”

The Hoosiers trailed by 10 points for the majority of the second half, but it never seemed the game was fully out of reach. Nebraska committed 15 turnovers in the game, giving IU chance after chance to make a run.

With 1:32 to play, freshman guard Jess Walter made 1-of-2 free throws to bring IU within six. On the ensuing possession, they forced Nebraska into a shot clock violation, and Walter scored again on the other end.

Walter, who had 16 points, was then forced to foul with just 29 seconds to go. Two Nebraska free throws pushed the Husker lead to six.

“We got three freshmen, two sophomores going down the stretch,” Moren said, “and what a tremendous experience it is for those kids to have to go through that game.”

Nebraska, on the other hand, had all four of its seniors on the court.

Trailing 65-59, the

Hoosiers used an Amanda Cahill layup and a Larryn Brooks 3-pointer — one of her five from beyond the arc — to go on a 5-0 run.

“I don’t think there was a moment out there that we weren’t playing hard for each other,” said Brooks, who scored a team-high 17 points.

IU had to foul again with 12 seconds to play. Nebraska guard Natalie Romeo, who hit both free throws on the previous possession, hit another pair to make it 67-64.

This time, Moren had no timeouts left.

All the Hoosiers could manage was a last-second heave from freshman guard Tyra Buss that missed the basket entirely. The buzzer sounded as the ball bounced on the baseline.

“Anyone can go back at the end of the game and say, ‘We could change this, we could’ve got that possession back,’” Brooks said. “But we don’t regret anything. We played really hard tonight, and that’s all we can ask for.”

It was IU’s final game of the season in Assembly Hall.

Moren talked after the game about a defensive struggle. They lacked the size and depth in the post they needed to contain 6-foot-2 forward Emily Cady, who had 22 points and 12 rebounds. They had the same communication problems they had all season — as they doubled Cady, they weren’t getting back out to guard perimeter shooters. Nebraska got to the free throw line twice as much as the Hoosiers did.

The list went on.

“They’re getting us back in the game going down the stretch, making plays,” Moren said. “Let’s not hang our heads. Let’s be excited about what the future holds.

Certainly, it’s bright.

The IU women’s team traveled to Columbus, Ohio, to compete in the Big Ten Conference Championships this weekend.

The Hoosiers started off strong with a Big Ten record in the 800 freestyle relay. IU Coach Ray Looze said that was the highlight of the first day for the team. IU broke another Big Ten record to end the meet in the Platform Dive.

Despite the two conference records and multiple individual career-best performances, the Hoosiers still came up short, placing second with 591 total points behind Minnesota’s 618.5.

“You know we were expecting to win it all,” Looze said. “It’s kind of a disappointment. It was a winnable meet, and we had a disqualification earlier in the competition that really hurt us.”

Due to an early exchange, the Hoosiers were disqualified in the 400 medley relay that would have given them valuable points. IU placed fifth overall in that race.

The Hoosiers still finished with seven firstplace medals at the end of the tournament and ended strong, placing first in three of the last seven events. After the prelims in the platform dive, Looze had a feeling that something monumental would take place. Freshman diver Jessica Parratto won first place for IU. “In her prelims she really didn’t do that great,” Looze said. “We had a talk, and we just

had a feeling that she was going to bust out.”

Parratto did just that as she scored a total of 424.45 points to set the new Big Ten Conference record. Although IU did not win the competition as they set out to, there were many individual accomplishments the Hoosiers are proud of.

Freshman Kennedy Goss won Big Ten freshman of the year, making it the third year in a row a Hoosier has won this award. Goss was on the 800 freestyle relay that set the Big Ten record at 6:59.10 along with juniors Brooklyn Snodgrass and Haley Lips and freshman Grace Vertigans.

She won individual titles in the 500 freestyle and the 200 freestyle. She also set a new school record in the 400 freestyle relay to place third overall with Lips, Vertigans and Snodgrass. She helped score points in the 100 freestyle by placing seventh overall in that race as well.

“Kennedy had a great meet,” Looze said. “It was a really well-deserved award for her to get.

We are really proud of her. She deserved it.”

Goss and five other of her teammates — Lips, Parratto, Snodgrass, Vertigans and sophomore Gia Dalesandro were named first team All-Big Ten, as well.

“Everybody did what they could, from the coaches to the swimmers, so no regrets there,” Looze said. “Any girl who won any event we are proud of. It’s not an easy conference to win in.”

The men’s team will begin their Big Ten Conference Championships at 7 p.m., Wednesday in Iowa City, Iowa.

Mosquera-Perea still improving

By Sam Beishuizen sbeishui@indiana.edu @Sam_Beishuizen

Hanner Mosquera-Perea insists his knee is no longer a factor.

The junior forward has steadily regained his endurance and isn’t using his once-injured knee as an excuse. It’s all about his mentality now.

“I need to be more aggressive,” Mosquera-Perea said Saturday morning.

Against Rutgers (10-18, 2-13), Mosquera-Perea finished with 13 points and five rebounds in IU’s 84-54 win.

Now that his health is no longer a concern, Mosquera-Perea has been working his way back into game shape and being more consistent.

It’s a topic he and IU Coach Tom Crean have spoken about at length, but with a thin frontcourt, Mosquera-Perea knows he needs to be the anchor in the middle.

His performance wasn’t perfect, but there were flashes of dependability Sunday.

Mosquera-Perea was able to stay out of foul trouble — picking up only two fouls on close calls in the second half — while still

Basket Case, page 9 How do the Hoosiers need to finish their season? being a presence on the defensive end.

He scored his career-high 13 points on just three field goal attempts.

He was 7-for-8 from the free-throw line and had a rimrattling dunk on a lob from junior guard Yogi Ferrell.

It was the second consecutive game that those two had connected for a high-percentage dunk.

For Mosquera-Perea, it’s his strongest stretch since he had 21 points on 9-for-13 shooting and 11 rebounds against Louisville and Grand Canyon.

Now the challenge is carrying the momentum to Evanston, Ill., where the Hoosiers will play Northwestern on Wednesday.

IU’s NCAA Tournament resume is helped, in part, by the absence of a “bad loss.”

Rutgers would have instantly become IU’s worst loss of the season had IU been unable to take care of business, but that possibility quickly got blown out of question.

IU defeats Rutgers, 84-54

By Alden Woods aldwoods@indiana.edu | @acw9293

When Jeremiah April gets into the action, it’s over.

The freshman center had played in just three games this season: a 51-point win against Mississippi Valley State, a 46-point win against Savannah State and a 20-point loss to Louisville.

April only plays in blowouts. So when he checked into Sunday’s game against Rutgers, all that was left to determine was the final score. He ended up scoring four points, pulling in two rebounds and blocking a shot in the final minutes of IU’s 84-54 win in Piscataway, N.J. IU (19-9, 9-6) put the game away early in its first trip to Piscataway. The Hoosiers took the lead with 9:24 left in the first half and never let it go, easing their way past the Scarlet Knights

(10-18, 2-13).

The Hoosiers dominated in almost every statistical category. They outrebounded the Scarlet Knights, 45-32.

IU shot 53 percent from the field to Rutgers’ 37 percent.

It made more 3-pointers and converted them at a higher rate. It made more free throws in fewer attempts, pulled in more offensive rebounds, blocked more shots and recorded more assists.

Junior guard Yogi Ferrell and freshman guard James Blackmon Jr. each scored a game-high 17 points. Ferrell added six assists and six rebounds, while Blackmon contributed seven rebounds.

The ease of Sunday’s win begs the question: can anything really be learned from a 30-point win against the Big Ten’s worst team?

IU Coach Tom Crean thinks so.

“Every game matters,”

Crean said. “We had a couple mistakes. We had a couple things that we thought were there, and they were aggressive, but we settled in ... This time of year, we’re trying to make sure we’re doing a good job of teaching and reaffirming skills, but there’s a lot of reminders.”

Three games remain on IU’s regular-season schedule. Two of those come at home, where IU has lost only twice this season. Its only road game is at Northwestern, which sits just 2.5 games ahead of Rutgers in the Big Ten standings. The Hoosiers will then return to Bloomington to close the regular season against Iowa and Michigan State.

At this point, IU is all but guaranteed a berth in the NCAA Tournament — the Hoosiers are a projected No. 7 seed by ESPN.com’s Joe Lunardi. All that’s left to

IU TOP PERFORMERS Points Ferrell, Blackmon, 17 Rebounds Williams, 9 Assists Ferrell, 6 play for is seeding and an extra bye game in the Big Ten Tournament.

With the Big Ten’s expansion to 14 schools, four teams will receive a double-bye in the conference tournament.

IU sits just outside of those spots in fifth.

Crean said he hadn’t given any thought to the postseason, no matter how close it’s getting.

“We haven’t even looked at that,” he said. “We’re not thinking about that yet.

That’ll come up, but it’s really not an issue. Our issue right now is try to make sure that we’re rested and sharp and on edge to go up and play Northwestern, just like we needed to be here.”

Nebraska offense controls IU defense

By Brody Miller brodmill@indiana.edu | @Brody_Miller_

With guard Rachel Theriot out due to injury, No. 21 Nebraska was going to have to rely on post players and experience.

IU was well aware of these facts.

Nebraska post players did their job and experience was on full display as the Huskers adapted to everything IU (14-13, 4-12) did in a 67-64 Nebraska win Saturday in Assembly Hall.

IU Coach Teri Moren tried creating chaos inside for Nebraska forwards Emily Cady and Hailie Sample. IU double-teamed the post players whenever they touched the ball, but that didn’t matter. It only opened things up. They stayed calm and found open teammates.

“That’s experience,” Moren said.

“You are dealing with four seniors out on the floor and two senior post players who have seen

everything.”

Cady ended with 22 points, 12 rebounds and four assists.

IU tried mixing up the defensive looks to stop the Huskers from scoring their 34 points in the paint, but the veteran lineup handled everything IU tried.

“We didn’t have an answer for it,” Moren said.

While it appears on paper like it was the IU offense that held the Hoosiers back, shooting 37.5 percent from the field, Moren was actually content with the offense.

She was happy that IU only had 11 turnovers and moved the ball well, she said.

The looks were good, the shots just didn’t fall.

She used a few of sophomore forward Lynd say Leikem’s shots as examples.

Leikem had open looks that she would hit nine times out of 10, but they SEE NEBRASKA, PAGE 12

Entering the season, IU Coach Chris Lemonis emphasized pitching and defense.

On Friday, IU (3-3) made five errors in a 5-2 loss against Presbyterian (6-2), and Saturday senior closer Ryan Halstead blew the save in the 11th inning against Furman (3-4) before allowing a walk-off RBI single in the 12th.

IU won 7-6 Sunday against Xavier on a walk-off of its own, but only after the bullpen surrendered a 6-2 lead.

“If you’re not mentally focused and ready to play then the game will punish you,” Lemonis said. “That was really just a poor effort on the weekend showing up and getting ready to go.”

Nearly every time IU made an error, its opponent scored a run. Friday, Presbyterian capitalized off three IU errors in the third inning to score three runs and take the lead. .

Both times IU made an error Sunday, Xavier scored.

In the fifth inning, an error by junior shortstop Nick Ramos allowed former Hoosier Tim O’Connor to score. It was Ramos’ third error of the season, the most of any Hoosier.

While only two of IU’s eight errors were made by

outfielders, Lemonis said one of his team’s biggest issues has been outfield defense.

An outfielder can still make mistakes and not make an error. Saturday night, with a runner in scoring position and two outs in the third inning, Furman hit a high fly ball to deep-left center field.

Senior centerfielder Will Nolden broke in. By the time he changed directions it was too late, as the ball landed out of his reach giving Furman a free run.

Nolden was removed in the fifth inning of that game and did not play against Xavier. Lemonis attributed his substitution to trying to get the best matchups on the field.

“It obviously bothers us a little bit, but we’re a tough enough team to bounce back from it,” sophomore Craig Dedelow said of IU’s defense.

IU also struggled with its bullpen pitching, specifically the bullpen’s ability to keep the leadoff runner off base.

IU allowed its opponent to score in 11 innings this weekend. In eight of those innings the leadoff batter reached base.

“We’ve got to do a better job attacking and getting the leadoff hitter out,” Lemonis said.

Oftentimes when a team gets its first batter of the

IU (1-2) vs. Presbyterian, 5-2 L vs. Furman, 6-5 (12) L vs. Xavier, 7-6 W inning on base against a bullpen pitcher, they try and get him in by any means possible.

This is because late in the game one run could be all a team needs to win. Four times when an opponent scored against IU, its leadoff batter had an extra base hit.

If a team hits a leadoff double, it can move him to third with a sacrifice bunt and then hit a deep fly ball to score him from third. One bad pitch and you’ve given up a run.

When Halstead entered the game in the 11th inning Saturday, the leadoff batter doubled to left center, later scoring to tie the game.

In the 12th inning, Halstead retired the leadoff hitter, but the second batter doubled to right center., later scoring to win the game.

Both runs came from a two-out RBI single. That meant he had recovered from the early doubles. He just couldn’t get the final out.

“I just don’t think he’s making good enough pitches when he has to,” Lemonis said. “I think the big part is that he’s giving up to many big hits in big situations.”

Touching art allowed in Madrid museum

ARTS Weekend at the Bluebird

EDITORS: AUDREY PERKINS & KATHRINE SCHULZE | ARTS@IDSNEWS.COM

Spain’s Prado Museum now lets the blind touch their art, according to Time magazine.

The exhibit, “Hoy Toca el Prado,” opened in late January. The exhibit name translates into “Touching the Prado,” according to 3dprint.com

and allows museum attendees to touch famous artworks that have been printed with raised grooves that outline the work.

The technique used, called Didu, allows the blind to imagine what the artwork looks like.

Here Come the Mummies plays, ‘get their freak on’ with audience

Cherub lead singer Jordan Kelley leans out toward his fans at the Bluebird on Thursday. The Nashville-based band was touring with opening acts Carousel and ProbCause.

Electro-group Cherub fills Bluebird Nightclub, features 2 opening acts

By Cassie Heeke cnheeke@indiana.edu | @cnheeke

Two spectators sat on the far side of a bench against the back wall of the viewing area at the Bluebird Nightclub on Thursday night.

They had glow sticks around their necks and wrists.

They were waiting for Cherub.

IU student Courtney Crider and Bloomington resident Joey Stuttle said they are ardent fans of the duo from Nashville, Tenn.

“We got more into them over the summer when they were playing on XM and stuff and were like, ‘Okay well, let’s check them out,’ and then we became obsessed with their Pandora station,” Crider said.

Cherub has considerably grown in popularity after the release of their song “Doses

and Mimosas” in 2012. The song now has more than 20 million streams on Spotify.

The electro group, formed in 2010, has been on tour since early January and officially wrapped up during the weekend. They will begin touring again April 21, starting in Orlando, Fla., and ending at Forecastle Music Festival in Louisville, Ky. Opening for Cherub was ForteBowie, followed by Mystery Skulls. ForteBowie is a rapper based out of Atlanta and is featured in Cherub’s song, “Strip to This.”

Mystery Skulls is a disc jockey and singer. His beatheavy performance drew a crowd that grew steadily as people arrived to the venue.

Mystery Skulls was just finishing up when the line outside the Bluebird began

to grow and stay at a steady length of about 25 people. Jacob Lukach and IU students Daniel Jensen and Molly Stauffer stood together in the freezing weather. They were in the back of the line.

“You can quote me, ‘The line is moving slowly,’” Jensen said. “I’m just trying not to shiver and think about it. It’s all mental, right? Put yourself in a warm place.”

Lukach, a recent Purdue graduate, was visiting Jensen for the weekend.

“This is one of the reasons I’m staying,” Lukach said. “I love the Bluebird and he told me it was a good concert.”

At 11:05 p.m., the music that had been playing over the speakers since the openers finished went off and people began streaming from the bar into the viewing area.

Green and purple lights were cast over Jordan Kelley and Jason Huber, the members of Cherub, as they set up their instruments and technology.

Kelley moved constantly back and forth during several songs as he sang and bounced to the beat. Huber’s motions were slightly smoother as he played guitar and rocked side to side.

Kelley and Huber have expressed in interviews that they love when audiences are active during their performances.

They said they want them to dance and enjoy themselves as they share in the moment.

“I just want to say the energy in this room right now is (expletive) incredible,” Kelley said in between two songs.

It wasn’t just any drum line Friday night as 10 mummies marched from the Bluebird Nightclub’s front door to the stage at the back of the club.

Spectators poured in after Here Come the Mummies in a magnetic fashion and filled the viewing area, and the show began.

The temperature in the crowd rose as people were crammed tighter with every song. Back in the nearly bare serving area, Jesse Carnahan and Melanie Nading, from Columbus, Ind., sat across from each other in a booth as they took a break from the throng of observers.

“I think they’re great artists, but fighting that crowd is not worth it to me,” Nading said.

Carnahan said they had already been inside the mob twice. He was ready to go back but didn’t want to leave his companion, he said.

Meanwhile, HCTM jammed in the background: “We’re not here to judge ya, we’re just here to love ya. Let your freak, let your freak, let your freak flag fly.”

The audience at HCTM was immensely diverse in age and style, which ranged from neon pants to head-totoe leather. It was an amalgam of individuals who had come to see HCTM play a set that was largely funk with rock and jazz components.

The Mummies played to the audience but interacted with each other during the show as well. Java, a vocalist and percussionist, said this a favorite part of performing.

“We have some running

inside jokes that we play on each other that makes us laugh,” Java said in an email.

“Fans sometimes see us smile or laugh at each other; this was likely due to one of such said jokes.”

In the front of the club, the coat check was full; 132 coats hung in the small area where not another could fit.

During “Innuendo,” the ends of one mummy’s white wrappings hung from his raised arms and swayed as his trumpet blared.

Bloomington resident Heather Sexton stood just outside the viewing area, where the Mummies’ heads were barely visible over the top of the crowd. She had seen HCTM at the Taste of Bloomington and heard them on “The Bob and Tom Show,” but she said this was her first time out in about three years.

“I really like these guys,” she said.

Both Sexton and Carnahan said they liked the Mummies’ insistence on keeping their identities secret.

“Their personality is mysterious because they don’t let you know who you are,” Carnahan said.

Java said when they aren’t performing, the Mummies plan for their tour, make props for their shows, and record and write new music.

He also shared the Mummies’ pre-show ritual.

“The first thing that has to be done before a show is that Super Dave (our road and stage manager) has to rouse us from our semi-vegetative state,” Java said. “Dave often has to resort to the use of super-sized spatula and the promise of sugar, caffeine and sex.”

Local band celebrates album

Blueberry muffins pair well with a cup of coffee, columnist Allison Wagner says.

Blueberry muff ins for your cup of joe My love for coffee knows no bounds.

My friends say I can’t trust people who don’t drink coffee, and I wouldn’t necessarily disagree. People who judge your coffee consumption are negative and you don’t need negativity in your life.

While I cannot dedicate

an entire column to coffee or my coffeeisms — though if I could I totally would — I can dedicate it to something that pairs with coffee: blueberry muffins.

This recipe was posted on “Just Another Day in Paradise,” a blog I found through Pinterest. The recipe I tested

ALLISON WAGNER is a sophomore in journalism.

When local band Sunspots took the stage Saturday night, a small crowd had gathered in the Blockhouse.

The crowd slowly grew between performances by fellow local band Lech and Lexington, Ky., band Idiot Glee. By the time local band Frankie and the Witch Fingers took the stage, the audience crowded around the stage with several groups dancing around.

The first two songs played were fast and loud, and the vibrations of the music could be felt through the floor.

The crowd was made up of both longtime fans and people like IU student Vivek Bigelow, who had never heard of most of the bands.

He said he decided to go to the show after seeing the event on Facebook.

“I came to just rock my face off,” Bigelow said.

Saturday night’s show served as the album release party for Frankie and the Witch Fingers’ new self-titled album. The band officially released the album Feb. 17 as a follow-up to their 2013 debut, “Sidewalk.”

While the first album was initially a demo tape the band wound up releasing, vocalist and guitarist Dylan Sizemore said the new album is more layered and complete.

“This is more of a band thing, while the first one was kind of just figuring out what the project would be,” he said.

Sizemore said he wrote some of the songs on the album a few years ago when he was in a different band. He said he wrote a lot more music at the time than the band actually ever played, so he thought he

would start a side project.

That side project eventually grew into Frankie and the Witch Fingers.

The songs are mostly about his personal life, he said, but told in a metaphorical way.

“A lot of it has to do with my upbringing and religion,” Sizemore said.

“It’s a culmination of that and what I’m experiencing now. I like to take the energy of Pentecostal or church and then mix that in with psychedelic music because they’re very similar.”

Frankie and the Witch Fingers play ‘60s music with a new spin, Sizemore said. He also said the band has always been inspired by a lot of California bands, and that is part of why they are relocating from Bloomington to Los Angeles.

It was interesting that the show spanned a lot of genres, Suna said.

used a sweet cake-like base to compliment the powerful sourness of the blueberries.

Blueberry muffins Ingredients 2 cups of fresh blueberries 1 1/8 cup of sugar, additional 1 teaspoon of sugar.

1 tablespoon water 2 1/2 cups flour 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 2 eggs 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of melted butter 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1 cup buttermilk 2 teaspoons of vanilla To make the streusel topping, combine and mix 3 tablespoons of sugar, 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1/3 cup of flour. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter.

Slowly add the butter to the dry mix and stir. Stop adding

butter once the consistency is crumbly. Streusel topping should not be smooth and solid.

Directions 1 Start by taking 1 cup of blueberries, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of water. Place these items in a small saucepan. Crush the blueberries with a fork and slowly heat this mixture over low heat. Continuously stir until the consistency is thick and a dark, deep purplish blue. Set this aside as it will be used to top the muffins.

2 Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.

3 Wisk the sugar and eggs in a bowl until there is a smooth consistency. Add the buttermilk and vanilla.

4 Fold in the wet mixture with the dry ingredients. Add

in the remaining, uncrushed, fresh blueberries.

5 Line a cupcake pan with paper liners or spray with anti-stick cooking spray. Fill each spot with batter to just under the top.

6 Drizzle about 1 teaspoon of the blueberry sauce previously made. Sprinkle streusel topping on the muffins.

7 Bake for 18-20 minutes at 425 degrees. They are done when a toothpick can be placed through the muffin and comes out clean.

8 For an alternative recipe, place the batter in a loaf pan and top with sauce and streusel, like you did for the muffins. Bake until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, about 30 minutes. allmwagn@indiana.edu

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 The Scarlet Knights entered Sunday ranked No. 144 in the RPI — the worst among Big Ten teams.

November’s home loss to Eastern Washington stands as the worst loss of the season thus far. While a home loss to a Big Sky team isn’t ideal, the Eagles are No. 74 in the RPI, which makes the nonconference loss a bit easier to swallow.

The Hoosiers have one more potential “bad loss” to avoid Wednesday on the road against Northwestern. The Wildcats are the second-worst team in the Big Ten, ranked No. 117.

After that, the Hoosiers have No. 59 Iowa and No. 30 Michigan State remaining. A loss to either wouldn’t be detrimental, but multiple losses certainly wouldn’t help.

Road wins have been hard to come by for IU the last two seasons.

IU’s 30-point victory against Rutgers was just the fifth road win for the Hoosiers since the start of last season. Since then, the only teams with fewer Big Ten road wins are Nebraska and Rutgers.

The road hasn’t been kind to the Hoosiers this year.

The third Big Ten road win joins earlier wins against Nebraska and Illinois to go along with a 6-1 conference record at home.

IU only has Wednesday’s road game against Northwestern remaining before returning home end the season.

The Hoosiers will then look to improve upon their 1-2 record on neutral courts when they travel to the United Center for the Big Ten Tournament next month.

Horoscope Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is an 8 — Your partner appreciates you handling the plans. Talk about what needs to get done, and delegate tasks. Send out press releases, and issue statements. Record your song. Accept a sweet deal. Provide meticulous craftsmanship.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 just didn’t go in Saturday, Moren said.

“If you look back, it is always going to come down to the defensive end. We didn’t get enough stops.”

Communication was not on par with the coaching staff ’s standards. Players were not talking on defense and helping each other out as much as they would have liked.

Moren said Nebraska made scoring look easy.

At times, some Hoosiers would be in man-to-man while others were in zone.

“And that’s frustrat-

ing,” Moren said. “We are in February and we are still having a hard time with communicating. That is one of the things about being a young basketball team.”

Offense is not Nebraska’s strength. The team currently stands fourth to last in the Big Ten in scoring with 66.4 points per game.

The Cornhuskers got to the free-throw line 20 times Saturday, 10 more times than the Hoosiers.

The nine more made free throws could have made up the difference in the three-point loss as Moren consistently stresses that the team work on get-

Moren said she’s concerned with progress, as she doesn’t want the team taking steps forward only to take more backward. Defense is an area she wants to improve in, especially with the lack of post depth.

The game didn’t have a high score, but IU’s offensive struggles were just shooting related, not something that can be directly controlled. In Moren’s eyes, it’s the defense that cost IU this game.

“It’s not because we didn’t score enough points,” Moren said. “It’s because we gave up too many.”

After losing five games this weekend at the Mary Nutter Classic, IU is on the verge of its worst start in school history.

“We had four days before we had to turnaround for this tournament,” IU Coach Michelle Gardner said. “Not enough to recover.”

Play at the Mary Nutter Classic began Thursday against No. 8 Georgia. IU lost in five innings.

IU senior Miranda Tamayo picked up her fifth loss of the season (1-5), giving up seven runs on seven hits in just two innings. Freshman Rebecca Blitz scored the lone run for the Hoosiers due to a hit by pitch an error.

Despite giving up an earned run, Georgia pitcher Brittany Gray threw a nohitter for the Bulldogs, who won 9-1.

Later that night, IU played against another ranked team, No. 12 UCLA. Freshman Taylor Uden had a big game for the Hoosiers going 2-for-2, including her first home run.

“The best part was that it was against UCLA, and I knew a girl on that team,” Uden said. “Coach said that my face was priceless as I was coming around third.”

The Classic continued Friday as IU took on Loyola Marymount for the first part of a doubleheader.

The Lions threatened to win for most of the game, having scored eight runs in the first three innings.

LMU would eventually win 13-5.

In the second game IU played Cal Poly.

It was a low-scoring affair as the score was 1-0 Mustangs after five innings of play, but Cal Poly would eventually win 4-0.

The Hoosiers only collected three hits and suffered a season-high 12 strikeouts.

“We have to limit the mistakes,“ Uden said. “Really comes down to just one inning at a time.”

The Mary Nutter finale put the Hoosiers up against BYU. The Cougars jumped out to a 4-0 lead after two innings.

IU capitalized on an error and a bases loaded walk to make the score 4-2.

Uden led off the final inning with a double, which was followed by a Blitz single. But IU made three straight outs and lost 5-3.

IU relay not fast enough in Invitational

By Taylor Lehman trlehman@indiana.edu @trlehman_IU

COURTESY OF TIAN LI OF THE DAILY TARGUM

Freshman guard James Blackmon Jr. reaches for the ball during IU’s game at Nebraska on Sunday. IU won 84-54 in their third road win of the season.

Hoosiers need to shoot more, make or miss Taking care of business is an important mantra for IU over the next two weeks.

Going into the final four games, th Hoosiers needed to protect home court and win their two away games against Rutgers and Northwestern.

It’s really important for them to go at least 3-1 during that stretch for Big Ten standings purposes and to secure a decent seed in the NCAA Tournament. IU took the first step toward that goal against Rutgers on Sunday.

The Hoosiers looked impressive in an 84-54 victory over the struggling Scarlet Knights — something that was expected. But still, the Hoosiers righted the ship after a disappointing loss to Purdue during the week.

It always impresses me how, despite being consistently outmanned in the

post, IU still manages to outrebound its opponents — or at least be right there with them.

A lot of that has to do with the amount of threes the Hoosiers take. Whether they make them or not, IU needs to keep firing threes at the rim.

I’ve written it all season, and I know it’s getting old, but this team is much better when they take a lot of 3-point field goal attempts.

When they make them, and they do quite often, it’s three points. When they miss them, it’s long rebounds.

That’s the reason IU hits the boards so well for such a small team. Its missed threes turn into long rebounds that can be snatched up by guards, or tipped out to them.

IU shot relatively well on Sunday, but not spectacularly. They finished 10-of-27 for 37 percent from deep. That’s

below its season average.

However, the Hoosiers also outrebounded Rutgers 45-32.

Away games have been devastating for IU during the past two seasons. Sunday’s win was just IU’s fifth road victory over the last two seasons. That’s the third fewest number of road wins of all Big Ten teams — Nebraska and Rutgers have just three each.

This team has improved so much compared to last season, but the road record is a reminder that there’s still a long way to go. Last year’s team was 2-8 on the road and this team is 3-5.

That’s better, but still not where the program needs to be.

Still, this is an important win for IU. I can’t stress that enough. It’s a game that the Hoosiers should by all means win but is still very

CASEY KRAJEWSKI is a senior in journalism.

significant.

Defense remains IU’s biggest issue and IU played Rutgers well, but it’s hard to project long-term success based on one game against a bad opponent. The offense, on the other hand, will see success as long as they keep shooting threes.

A 30-point victory at Rutgers is nice, but there won’t be much time to pat each other on the back. Northwestern has played well against IU over the last three years and is playing hot.

But for now, the Rutgers win puts IU on the right track.

One down, three to go. crkrajew@indiana.edu

Notre Dame’s Alex Wilson Invitational, famous for its aggressive Distance Medley Relay heats, finished in disappointment for IU as it placed 12th out of 14 teams.

Because of its fast track, the invitational has seen at least six DMR teams qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships each of the last four years, all averaging a time of 9:31.65.

The Hoosiers ran 9:38.28 Saturday.

“There was little room for error,” IU Coach Ron Helmer said. “We had to do a lot of things right to match last year’s effort, and we just didn’t do it.”

IU ran the DMR at last year’s Alex Wilson Invitational in 9:27.72, the fifthfastest time in NCAA history and a new program record. After failing to win the Big Ten title in the event, the men’s DMR team went on to claim third in the national meet.

Three of the original members remain on this year’s DMR team, including sophomore Tre’tez Kinnaird and seniors Derrick Morgan and Rorey Hunter. Freshman Daniel Kuhn, who sits just outside of the IU top-10 list in the 800-meter run, took the 800 leg of the relay, leaving Kinnaird in the 1200-meter leg, a position he has not ran in his career.

“Tre’tez got off to a slow start,” Helmer said. “He had to catch up with the pack, and that’s not his style. He doesn’t trail in races often.”

Kinnaird’s slow start set the Hoosiers up for a need to play catch up in a race that featured six national qualifiers, a seemingly doomed position.

“Derrick (Morgan) and Daniel (Kuhn) ran the fastest races of their lives out there,” Helmer said. “It just wasn’t enough after we got out of that margin of error.”

With their 11-second regression, the Hoosiers finished sixth in their heat and stand 25th in the nation, 13 spots out of national qualification.

If the Hoosiers do not place in the top 12 in the nation next weekend at the Big Ten Championships, they will miss DMR national qualification for the first time in seven years.

“We’re going to run to win the Big Ten title,” Helmer said about the DMR team’s qualification hopes. “We’ll just let the time take care of itself, and if we qualify then great.”

Even though there is one remaining opportunity to qualify, the Alex Wilson Invitational was the most opportune point to set a time. DMR’s rely heavily on pack running. This means the lead team sets the pace, which is not always the national qualifying pace that was guaranteed this weekend.

The Hoosiers are third in the Big Ten behind Penn State and Illinois, respectively.

IU also sent three junior pole vaulters, Sophie Gutermuth, Sydney Clute and Terry Batemon, to maintain momentum heading into the Big Ten Championships.
