Unhoused encampment evictions raise questions

By Natalie Fitzgibbons

natfitzg@iu.edu | @NatalieFitz9

Police and county officials, along with a hired firm from Indianapolis, cleared an unhoused encampment Oct. 6 off public Monroe County land south of Second Street. This removal is one of several in the past year as the city and county has continuously cleared camps, forcing those who are unhoused to relocate.

Concerns about health and safety Monroe County Attorney Jeff Cockerill said the county has an ordinance that prohibits camping on county property, allowing them to clear any camps in violation of this ordinance.

“The biggest reason we have that ordinance is because of the health and safety,” Cockerill said. “There is a lot of debris, a lot of trash, a lot of needles in the ground, so it’s a safety issue, and we have our youth services shelter close to there, so that was a concern.”

He said the county has obligations to the public health department and the businesses and residents near the camps. Removing the camps is not a solution to helping unhoused individuals, but he said there are no other alternatives except to force them into shelters they would rather not stay in.

Bloomington community member Jesse Reach has been experiencing homelessness for four years.

He said there are unhoused camps with trash and needles, but most of the camps bag their trash. How-

ever, there is no place for anyone to dispose of their trash, Reach said. Having designated places to dispose of trash for those who live in the camps would help keep the camps clean, he said.

“We can keep it a lot nicer and a lot neater,” Reach said. “People would respect us a little more and not want to run us off so much.”

He said offering more housing options can solve the issue of unhoused encampments having too much trash, which can lead to health and safety concerns.

“If they want less of what they’re complaining about, then we need more housing because once we have an apartment building, we have a dumpster to take our trash to,” Reach said.

As of August 2022, there are less than 10% of rentals that are under $1,000 a month, and only 2% of rentals that are under $700 a month in Bloomington, according to the Herald Times.

Ensuring there are enough shelters and housing Cockerill said the county does not currently have a lot of resources to provide for people without housing.

Most of the resources they do have been given to their partner with United Way. He said a third-party nonprofit organization like United Way has a better perspective on helping people experiencing homelessness than the county does.

Reach has lived in unhoused camps and shelters, but he is now moving into Crawford Homes. As a part of Beacon Inc., Crawford Homes is a nonprofit organi-

zation that provides support services to reduce hunger, poverty and the number of people experiencing homelessness in Bloomington.

Reach said he has applied for housing the past four years, and his application finally got approved just in time before he undergoes surgery for his heart problems.

“It took me getting really terminally sick for somebody to want to get on it and help me get a place to stay,” Reach said.

Reach said having approved, designated areas to camp and stay warm while outside would help. Some people don’t choose to stay in the shelters because they know they will not be permitted due to alcoholism or

other substance use issues, having a mental illness or having a pet. Reach said his dog is the only family he has, and it’s hard for him to go to shelters because he suffers from social anxiety.

During his time living in shelters, he was kicked out because he was late coming back to the shelter by curfew a couple of times.

While Bloomington does have enough shelters for its unhoused residents, there is a shortage of shelters in surrounding regions, Forrest Gilmore, executive director of Beacon Inc. said. There is also a shortage of affordable housing in the free to $400 rental range, he said.

support and help,” Gilmore said.

He said there is always more to be done and he would like to see more funding. The community, not just the county, can start working together to provide affordable housing for people with low incomes and supportive services such as health care, recovery work, mental health care and basic life and survival skills, Gilmore said.

Three key things people can do to help support people experiencing homelessness would be to donate money to nonprofit organizations like Beacon, donate necessities such as clothes and hygienic products and volunteer their time at shelters, Gilmore said.

has a special obligation to protect people’s rights and removing people from public land is a violation of their basic rights.

“Homelessness is dangerous and difficult, and displacing someone makes it more dangerous,” Gilmore said.

He said the majority of individuals who are living on the street have been experiencing homelessness for a long period of time and or have some type of disability, if not multiple types, which can lead to high death rates.

“We’re dealing with people with extraordinary levels of disability, so we need to meet them where they are, and often where they are is in extraordinary need of

FOOTBALL

Indiana football finds new season low

By Jacob Spudich

jaspudi@iu.edu | @spudichjacob

In search of its first Big Ten road win since Dec. 5, 2020, Indiana football, on a four-game losing streak, took on Rutgers Saturday afternoon. An eventual 24-17 loss in Piscataway, New Jersey, brought a new low and frightful memories from last season for the Hoosiers even before Halloween.

Coming into the game, Indiana was still without senior linebacker Cam Jones, but welcomed back senior defensive back Jaylin Williams and junior tight end AJ Barner.

“We’re as healthy as we’ve been in a while,” Indiana head coach Tom Allen said prior to the game.

Desperate for a win, Indiana wasted no time in finding the end zone and got out to an early lead. Receiving the opening kickoff to start the game, freshman running back Jaylin Lucas broke loose and ran the length of the field for a touchdown just 11 seconds into the game.

On the next drive, the Hoosiers — led by redshirt junior quarterback Connor Bazelak — marched down the field. Following a drive where he went 7/7 and threw for 67 yards, Bazelak rushed 7 yards into the end zone to extend the lead to 14-0.

The 14-point lead was In-

diana's second biggest lead all season, the first being a 19-point lead over the University of Idaho during week two.

Indiana’s offensive dominance quickly vanished after its strong start. Neither team found the end zone again in the first quarter.

A connection from Scarlett Knight senior quarterback Nick Vedral into the back of the end zone to senior receiver Sean Ryan would be the lone score in the second quarter. Going into halftime Indiana led 14-7.

The majority of the third quarter consisted of the Scarlet Knights holding the ball on offense. Their first drive to start the half went about six and a half minutes, ending with a field goal to cut the deficit to four. After forcing an Indiana three and out, Rutgers’ next drive went just under seven minutes again and ended with a short 2-yard run from freshman running back Samuel Brown V to take its first lead of the game, 17-14.

By the time the third quarter finished, there was no sign of any life for Indiana’s offense. After the Hoosier’s first offensive drive of the day found the end zone, seven out of the next eight offensive drives ended in a punt and the only one that didn’t ended because of halftime.

“Very disappointing,” Allen said after the game.

“Could not sustain anything on offense. That put a lot of pressure on our defense.”

For much of the fourth quarter, both teams’ defenses stood tall, forcing the offenses to trade punts. A threatening near the beginning of the quarter Rutgers drive ends with a missed field to extend their lead.

After a series of punts by both teams, Indiana drove down the field into Rutgers territory but failed to tie the game after a 52-yard field goal attempt from redshirt senior Charles Campbell sailed wide right. Just like Rutgers previous possession, Indiana came up scoreless.

A long punt following the Scarlet Knights next offensive series stuffed the Hoosiers deep in their own territory. On 2nd and 13 from their 9-yard line, high pressure forced Bazelak to throw a pass into the hands of Rutgers senior defensive back Christian Braswell. Braswell took his present from Bazelak into the end zone to deliver the dagger and stretch the Rutgers lead to 10 with 5:12 left.

A late fourth-quarter Campbell field goal made it a one-score game and gave Indiana a chance if it could recover the onside kick, but the miracle attempt came up short and Indiana lost 24-17.

Although the Hoosiers weren’t shut out in the second half, they might as well have been. After scoring a touchdown with 7:05 left in the first quarter, Indiana didn’t score again until 1:18 left in the fourth quarter.

During its five-game losing streak, Indiana has been outscored in the second half, 90-26.

Indiana’s offense struggled throughout the game, totaling just 62 rushing yards with only 19 attempts throughout the entire game. In the passing game, after the 7/7 start on the first drive from Bazelak, he went 16/34 with just 143 yards.

Having started the season 3-0, Indiana is now 3-5 after five consecutive losses. Saturday’s game proved to be a summary of the Hoosiers’ entire season: a hot start quickly dispersed and forgotten.

Cam Camper exited the game in the first half due to an unknown injury. After the game, Allen said he doesn’t know the extent of the injury but acknowledged it was a big loss for the offense. Camper has already missed one game earlier this season due to an illness.

As opposed to Indiana, Rutgers ended a record of their own — 1,813 days since a conference home win came to an end after their win.

After a putrid loss, desperate for a reset, Indiana has a bye before hosting No. 16 Penn State on Nov. 5.

Rises in food waste puts strain on IU Dining

By Mia Hilkowitz mhilkowi@iu.edu

The introduction of IU Dining’s new “all-you-careto-eat” dining system this year is raising concerns surrounding food waste on campus. The new meal plan allows students to use multiple meal swipes each day and receive unrestricted servings.

Participants at Weight the Waste events collected all waste produced in McNutt and Forest Dining Halls for a 4-hour period, Field said in an email. IU Dining collected about 490 pounds of food waste at each of two of the five all-you-care-toeat locations, amounting to approximately 4 oz of food waste per student per visit.

IU Dining approximates students throw away about 2000 pounds of food across all dining halls each day.

Kenneth Field, director of residential dining, said in an email, while it is difficult to directly compare food waste to previous years, food waste has slightly increased during the last year as a result of the meal plan switch. IU Dining has hosted “Weigh the Waste” events to raise awareness about food waste issues on campus and how they strain dining management and staff.

The new dining system was put in place with an aim to address food insecurity on campus, according to IU Dining. The dining system is offered at the Collings Living-Learning Center, Goodbody Hall, McNutt Quad, Wright Quad and Forest

Quad. However, addressing the problem has left IU Dining with new food waste issues.

“Food gets left on tables, on the floor, and the amount that we scoop out in the dish room that goes straight into the trash is pretty astounding,” said Sophia Feightner, IU sophomore and IU Dining worker. “Even at the end of the night, if certain things aren’t able to be preserved till the next day, or we don’t think they’ll be eaten, we’ll throw them out.”

Feightner has worked at the Forest Dining Hall since August, where she said food waste is a major issue.

According to the Food Recovery Network, a total of 22 million pounds of uneaten food is thrown out at

college campuses across the country each year. Feightner said she often sees students throw out uneaten pastry desserts and side food items at the end of their meal. She said she believes IU Dining’s all-you-care-to-eat model is a major contributing factor to food waste at IU because students will take more than what they can eat.

In addition to wanting to see IU start composting stations at dining halls, Feightner said students can work to decrease their waste on an individual level by being conscious of their food selections and cleaning up after themselves in the dining hall.

Field said reducing waste in the dining halls would free up limited labor and in-

crease overall staff morale.

He said the current level of food waste is putting a strain on IU dining staff by causing management to schedule more staff to cook and clean than normally necessary.

Field also said the cost of producing extra food makes it harder for dining management to order food and can cause longer lines while additional food is made.

IU freshman Gaby Rondel said the self-serve formats for some dining halls can contribute to the waste problem. For instance, Rondel said, at McNutt Dining Hall, the food is not selfserving, and students cannot control the amount of food they get on their plates.

This means students often end up throwing away

more food if they cannot finish their portions. Rondel agrees with the all-youcare-to-eat meal plan can encourage students to waste more food.

“People are wasteful because they aren’t actually paying for it. They don’t mind taking too much and throwing it away,” Rondel said. “If they get a whole meal and they don’t like it, they can just throw the rest out.”

IU freshman Annabel Prokopy said one reason she believes food waste occurs so frequently at university dining halls is privilege. While some students care about the issue of food waste, she said not enough students do.

“There are so many people even in Indiana who are incredibly food insecure.

They’re living in deep poverty, and they don’t have the ability to waste food,” Prokopy said. “But what we see in universities and other places where people are more privileged, they have the ability to produce more than they can consume just out of convenience.”

Prokopy, who founded Indiana grassroots climate education campaign Confront the Climate Crisis and is a member of Students for a New Green World, said one reason students and faculty should care about food waste is its contribution to climate change and global warming. According to nonprofit climate solution organization Project Drawdown, food waste across the globe accounts

for about eight percent of all greenhouse gas emissions.

“Food waste is definitely a part of what IU should be focusing on if they want to become more sustainable, especially as they’re hopefully on track to produce a climate action plan here in the next year,” Prokopy said.

Prokopy also pointed to a waste management system at Purdue as an example of how IU could combat food waste. Food waste is picked up from the dining halls and transported to a biodigester, which converts the food waste to clean energy that powers West Lafayette’s wastewater treatment plant.

Currently, IU partners with outside trash companies to pick up trash. According to Field, IU used to work with an outside composting company but the amount of compost generated on campus was too much for the company to handle.

“Composting requires a large amount of land, heavy equipment to work the piles and labor to manage the business,” Field said in an email.

Field said IU Dining currently maintains several sustainable waste management systems, including purchasing compostable products for carryout, recycling cardboard packaging and utilizing bulk dispensers to reduce the number of bottles and bags. Field said IU Dining also cooks in small batches to keep food fresh and eliminate overproduction that can lead to further waste.

Sports are better for bone health than running

By Meghana Rachamadugu

megracha@iu.edu | @nutmeginbloom

Athletes involved in soccer, basketball, hockey and sports involving multiple speeds and movements instead of only one in sport like running, can develop stronger bones and reduce the risk of bone injuries later in life, a recent study done by the IU School of Health and Human Sciences and the School of Engineering and Technology at IUPUI showed.

In the study, researchers examined Division I and II female cross-country runners who are prone to bone stress injuries. From the research, it became clear athletes who ran and played a multidirectional sport when they were younger had a better bone structure than those who only ran, the article said.

Following these results, the study recommended athletes play multidirectional sports younger and specialize in running later in life to develop a stronger skeleton

and delay bone stress injuries.

“There is a common misperception that kids need to specialize in a single sport to succeed at higher levels,” said Stuart Warden, associate dean for research and chancellor’s professor in the IU School of Health and Human Sciences at IUPUI, in an IU News article. “However, recent data indicate that athletes who specialize at a young age are at a greater risk of an overuse injury and are less likely to progress to higher levels of competition.”

As a person grows older, he said it’s important to look at bone mass and size to determine skeletal health over a lifespan. The researchers used high-resolution imaging to evaluate the shin bone and bones in the feet where injuries can happen frequently for runners. In doing so, the article said those who participated in running and multidirectional sports had 10-20% more bone strength than those who only ran.

Families and sports programs with junior athletes should evaluate when their athlete should specialize in one area or sport, Warden said. He recommends not specializing until at least their freshman year of high school, so that they have a chance for proper growth and development. Warden said resting and recovery are also important in improving one’s bone strength and athletic performance.

Indiana Supreme Court declines appeal from IU

By Carter DeJong

cadejong@iu.edu | @dejong_carter

The Indiana Supreme Court voted not to hear appeals from both IU and Purdue University concerning three class-action lawsuits regarding tuition reimbursement. The court voted 4-1 against hearing the case.

In 2020, IU student Justin Spiegel and Purdue student Elijah Seslar filed lawsuits against their respective universities. The students claimed IU and Purdue both breached their contract with students by moving classes online during the COVID-19 pandemic. They are requesting partial refunds of tuition and

student fees, according to the Purdue Exponent.

Earlier this year, The Indiana Court of Appeals voted in favor of the plaintiffs, allowing the lawsuit to continue despite a law passed by the Indiana legislature prohibiting class-action lawsuits against universities seeking damages from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Editor’s Note: This story includes mention of antisemitism.

An IU student was charged with stealing a mezuzah, an important object in Jewish culture, from the door of a Bloomington home and partially burning it Sept. 29.

Jeremy Chung Ho Park Patzelt, 19, faces trial on charges of two counts of criminal mischief. Criminal mischief, a Class B misdemeanor, is defined by Indiana law as reckless, knowing or intentional damage or defacement of another person's property without the

other person's consent. If convicted, he could face up to 180 days in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.

The incident occurred on North College Avenue, according to Bloomington Police Department Capt. Ryan Pedigo. Patzelt's initial hearing is scheduled for Nov. 15.

A warrant was requested but not issued since the subject was summoned to court instead, Pedigo said.

A mezuzah is hung on the door of a Jewish house to follow Jewish commandments, remind its residents of their commitment to Judaism and designate the home as Jewish. It consists of a case containing a small scroll, which must be pre-

served as was originally written to remain religiously valid, according to Chabad.

Bloomington has faced several notable antisemitic incidents within the past year. Most recently, there was an incident early this month where a mezuzah was taken off an IU student’s apartment door and set on fire.

Last winter, six acts of vandalism depicting swastikas were reported in three weeks. In February, antsemitic comments were posted on IU greek life website Greek Rank. And, over the summer, a local coffee company was criticized for alleged use of neo-Nazi imagery and language.

JARED’S JOURNAL

Transphobia is built upon lies and misinformation

TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Commentator and podcaster Joe Rogan looks on during the UFC Fight Night event April 18, 2015, at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Rogan recently spread misinformation about a school putting out litter boxes for students who “identified as animals” in an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

Jared Quigg (he/him)

is a junior studying journalism and political science.

Earlier this month, the massively popular podcaster Joe Rogan told former U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard a story about a school that put litter boxes in classrooms in order to accommodate students who “identified as animals.”

That's unbelievable, right?

Right. You shouldn’t believe it because it’s not true.

In fact, the truth about this story is even worse than the lie. NBC News only found one school district that keeps

cat litter for student use, and only in the event of an active shooter situation in which students may have to hide for long periods of time without access to restrooms.

Just another day living the American nightmare.

Notice the particular language of the lie Rogan told his millions of listeners. It’s supposed by Rogan and other right-wingers that respecting transgender people’s gender identities is a slippery slope to people identifying as animals or other nonsense. Even elected officials like Marjorie Taylor Green are spreading

this lie about litter boxes.

This is a fabrication, but not a unique one. Lies about trans people are rampant.

And while all forms of bigotry often find their foundations built upon misinformation, transphobia is a particular problem because of how accepted it is in society.

The anti-trans bigotry we see from politicians and pundits is blatant and obvious, whereas other forms of prejudice are generally cloaked in dog whistles. For this reason, it’s up to all who believe in such politically frivolous concepts such as “truth” and

DANNY’S DIATRIBES

“logic” to shove transphobes into the closet, so to speak.

One way to combat anttrans misinformation is to tell the truth about sex and gender. This will have limited success, though, because bigoted people can be closedminded and fake stories are pervasive. Regardless, becoming educated and educating others is imperative in any movement seeking social justice.

A good starting point is understanding it’s a lie to say people can only be male or female, and that gender is biologically determined.

Gender is socially constructed, and as I’ve written about before, many societies throughout the world do not recognize gender as something binary, from India to Indigenous America.

Sex is not binary, either.

There are millions of people who are intersex, or those who have varying sex characteristics and hormonal differences that don’t fit into the male/female binary. And intersex people aren’t rare, either – there are as many intersex people as there are people with red hair.

South African Olympic

gold medalist Caster Semenya is one such person. Semenya was raised female, identifies and is legally recognized as a woman. But she was barred from competing at the Tokyo Olympics after rule changes were made declaring individuals like her ineligible to compete because they naturally produce too much testosterone.

Semenya is a talented athlete who was robbed of her chance to compete before the world. If conservatives had their way, only athletes who fit within their rigid ideas of gender would be able to compete in sports. They say it isn’t “fair” for trans people to compete against cis people and pass laws to prevent it.

It’s misleading to say trans people have an advantage over cis people in sports. Talent naturally varies between athletes of the same gender.

No one is under any illusions that all college football players are equally talented – for example, the players at Rutgers are better than the players at IU. Because talent varies, it logically follows that trans athletes don’t always win.

Swimmer Lia Thomas has been the frequent target of conservatives because of her success. But Thomas, a trans athlete, has also lost many races against cis women. For some reason (what could it be!) conservatives ignore this.

The takeaway from all of this is that gender and sex are complicated. Many conservatives will try to tell you these things are simple, but they’re not. Promoting trans acceptance will require educated activists exposing conservative lies at every opportunity. jaquigg@iu.edu

The internet is killing critical thinking

Picture this: you’re scrolling through TikTok when you see a video using an unfamiliar sound. You check the comments and see half of them are along the lines of “What’s the song?” or “Song?”

Being the apparently abnormally clever person you are, you take a cursory glance at the video caption and audio description, determining the song title and artist in a matter of seconds.

Less time than it would have taken you to type out yet another “Song title?” comment, in fact.

This is a fairly common, slightly annoying occurrence online nowadays. The popular term “chronically online” captures this phenomenon, describing the many people who just seem to turn off their brains when they turn on their phones. This habit of shutting down our critical thinking is harming the way we think and see the world.

One example of this is when ambulatory wheelchair users post videos of themselves standing up or

walking.

The replies on posts like these are often flooded with comments along the lines of “We weren’t supposed to see that” or “They can walk?”

Instead of seriously thinking critically about the fact that many wheelchair users aren’t paralyzed, many people jump to the quickest and dirtiest assumption.

Another more sordid case comes from the so-called “true crime community.”

Members of this group are dedicated to researching (and sometimes attempting to solve) murders. While most members are respectful and empathetic in their interests, others take it too far.

Some individuals glorify and even sexualize some of the most horrific murderers in American history. They post images of serial killers like Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy remarking on their attractiveness. They focus more on the gory particulars than on the real human lives that were taken away.

The internet blurs the line between actual human being and character on the screen. There’s a big differ-

ence between interacting with a real flesh-and-blood person and your phone. This lack of connection leads us down harmful paths.

This ability to slip out of reality affects the world around us. The internet isn’t “real.” Sure, but the people who use it are.

One example of this is the somewhat-tongue-in-cheek conspiracy theory that deafblind activist Helen Keller faked her disability. Though it may sound silly, I have had several of my peers seriously believe the theory and bring it up to me as if it were fact.

A lot of internet users now expect information to be spoon-fed to them. They see ideas and take them at face value, not bothering to think particularly hard about the issue because it takes too much effort.

The internet can be a tough place for spreading real information. But if we work together, stay vigilant and raise our eyebrows about what’s happening on the apps we frequent, the world can be a more honest place. dw85@iu.edu

In the 2018 midterm elections, the Democratic Party utilized an anti-republican and an anti-Trump platform to maintain several vulnerable Senate seats in historically democratic but red-shifting states. The party came very close to retaining its incumbencies in several more.

Democratic Senator Joe Manchin retained his Senate seat in West Virginia — the second reddest state in the 2016 presidential election — by 3.3%. Democratic Senator Jon Tester won Montana — a state Trump had carried by 20% in 2016 — by 3.5%. In Ohio, a swing state rapidly shifting towards Republicans, Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown was reelected by 6.8%.

Additionally, Democrats won and secured seats in several swing states, retaining Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Virginia, by significant margins, and flipping Nevada and Arizona.

All of these seats will be up for reelection in 2024, and all will be hotly contested.

And unfortunately for the Democratic Party, nearly all the contested seats will be its incumbencies. At most, in a highly Democrat-favored environment, it could challenge Republican Senator Ted Cruz

in Texas and Republican Senator Rick Scott in Florida. This is a stretch, as Florida shifts further towards Republicans, and Texas remains fairly Republican on a national scale.

Even if Democrats can challenge these seats, they will still face uphill battles in West Virginia, Montana and Ohio.

Democrats are also likely to lose control of the House of Representatives in 2022, creating a gridlocked environment for the rest of President Biden’s term. Government shutdowns akin to the numerous shutdowns under the Trump administration’s split congress are likely, and it will be difficult for Democrats to pass through major legislation. Government shutdowns and congressional gridlock are usually looked down upon in public opinion, causing a decline in approval.

In addition, the Biden administration’s approval is already fairly shaky, and unless the economy improves significantly and polarization declines, it likely won’t be enough to create a blue wave in 2024.

This all means that the 2022 Senate elections will be of utmost importance for Democrats. With their thin 50-50 control of the Senate and Vice President Kamala Harris serving as tiebreaker, other control is in a vulnerable position.

Likely to automatically

lose at least their two incumbencies in West Virginia and Montana, they would need to gain at least two seats to keep the chamber even. If Democrats wanted to prepare for the worst-case scenario in a 2024 red wave, they would need to secure even more seats.

Democrats have several options for pickups in 2022.

Republicans are running relatively weak candidates to fill retiring incumbents in the swing states of Pennsylvania and Ohio, with Dr. Mehmet Oz and J.D. Vance respectively.

Additionally, the swing states of Wisconsin and North Carolina serve as potential pickups. Unfortunately for the Democrats, they seem to be losing all of these except for Pennsylvania which, in my opinion, is a complete tossup.

To secure their future in the Senate chamber, Democrats need to think ahead. If they do not secure additional seats this midterm, they run the risk of losing several key Senate seats in the risky map that is 2024. It’s unclear who will win this year, and what the national environment will be like in the next election, but it is certain that picking up seats this midterm should be critical to the Democratic Party’s strategy. ami3@iu.edu

The University Collections opens exhibition

By Tory Basile

vlbasile@iu.edu | @torybasilee

The University Collections debuted the “Unity in Variety: The Works of Morton C. Bradley, Jr.” exhibition of geometric sculptures at 5 p.m. Oct. 21 at the McCalla Gallery, located on the corner of Ninth Street and Indiana Avenue.

Bradley, born in Massachusetts in 1912, was a mathematician and art conservator.

He lived a quiet life in the suburbs of Boston, where he filled his time with art, music, books, travel and friendship, according to the “Color and Form” book about Bradley’s life. Later in life, Bradley began creating the many colorful geometric sculptures now on display in the university collections.

While he personally did not spend time in Indiana, Bradley’s great-grandfather was Theophilus Wylie, cousin of Andrew Wylie, who was IU’s first president. The pair were some of the university’s

first-ever faculty members.

After Bradley passed away in 2004, he donated his artworks to IU. Hundreds of Bradley’s sculptures are stored in the collections and displayed throughout campus. Friday’s exhibition will be the first time Bradley’s work is displayed as a full collection.

Each of the sculptures — multicolored, complex works made from metal, wood and paper — was created using a mathematical equation.

Alisha Beard, the engagement coordinator of campus art, said Bradley and his team calculated each of the equations they used by hand. Because mathematics today is so computerized, Beard said she thinks Bradley’s team was among the last generation to create mathematical figures manually.

She said Bradley’s exhibition is a testament to what different disciplines can learn from one another.

“This is such a beautiful

example of math meeting art, two things that you don't think about coming together,” Beard said.

While Bradley wasn’t the one physically assembling these pieces, Katie Chattin, the assistant curator of campus art, said it was his mathematical vision that allowed them to come to life.

“The fact that he surrounded himself with the people that could accomplish this is just as important as dreaming them up,” she said. “Because if not, they're stuck in the mind of someone. But he was able to find the people that could make them a reality.”

For example, Linda Kindler Priest — one of the creators on Bradley’s team and a former jeweler — used her previous experience with delicate brushwork to paint many of the complex pieces after they were assembled. Chattin said this meticulous precision makes these works so impressive.

Because these pieces have never been properly displayed, Chattin said she’s excited to share them with the public, especially with individuals who come from STEM backgrounds.

“When we get the mathematics department faculty in to see these, they immediately see the geometry and the repetition,” Chattin said. “They understand how they were made.

Whereas when I look at it, I'm seeing color and form.”

For Chattin, the beauty of Bradley’s work lies in the multiple points of entry for viewers to appreciate it through.

Whether it be for their shape, color, math or “dreamlike” quality, people from all backgrounds can engage with the art in some way.

Jacob Goode, one of the exhibition preparators, said Bradley’s work reflects the math that surrounds human life. Goode said mathematical patterns and phenomena — the Fibonacci sequence, the

magic square, the equivalent ratio from people’s forearms to shoulders — can be found everywhere.

“Life is math,” Goode said.

Bill Bass, another preparator, said he thinks the best part of the work is the human ingenuity behind it. Anyone can create 3D models of these equations on a computer with current technology, but Bass finds that Bradley’s models have a more personal, engag-

ing touch.

“There's just little bits, goofy things that make them feel craft projects and not little perfect shapes,” Bass said. “I like that better.”

The exhibition will be open until November 2023, and viewers can visit McCalla during its open gallery hours. It is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from noon to 5 p.m. and Thursdays from noon to 7 p.m.

Five last-minute Halloween costumes

By Charlotte Jones cmj35@iu.edu

Illustration by Cailin O’Malley caiomall@iu.edu | @cailingomalley

It’s the week of Halloween. It also happens to be midterm season. All the good costume ideas are taken already, right?

Wrong. Halloween is all about creativity, while college is all about learning how to budget.

Here are five low-cost yet one-of-a-kind costume ideas:

Strawberry Shortcake and friends

Famous musicians

For a much sweeter and potential group costume, Strawberry Shortcake proves to be timeless and simple. The 2003 series might be the most familiar for our generation, but there are iterations of the core characters since the 1980s, providing a ton of options for costuming. Most costume pieces can be found at Goodwill or are easy to DIY. Cute, simple, recognizable — everything a Halloween costume needs to be.

I had to make this a catch-all category for musicians known for their in-your-face makeup. For example, Insane Clown Posse or The Garden make for perfect costumes with their black and white clown looks. Kiss and Twisted Sister rely a lot more on the hair metal getup, their staples being oddly similar to each other. Think of it this way: ICP and The Garden are perfect for entry-level makeup artists, while Kiss and Twisted Sister are ideal for those with a touch more experience. Don’t let that scare you though – have fun with the costuming!

1996 “Scream” characters I can almost guarantee that one of these iconic outfits exists in anyone’s closet already. From Drew Barrymore’s tan sweater and mid-rise jeans to Skeet Ulrich’s blood-soaked white shirt, the costumes are easy to replicate. Bonus points if you can recite Randy’s scary movie rules to all your friends. Fake blood is optional but encouraged, especially for Billy and Stu’s toxic and murderous relationship.

Alien tourists This is the perfect costume for those channeling that Instagram-ready look without worrying about makeup smearing all over everything. All you need is an alien mask, an easy find at Spirit Halloween or Party City.

Deriving inspiration from dads on vacation, grab a Hawaiian shirt and cargo shorts to complete the look.

You could even go full 1950s Americana for a mixed-up Roswell reference. Sure, it may be a bit cumbersome to drink or eat with the mask on, but it will translate perfectly for social media posts.

Greendale Human Being Hands-down the most unsettling costume on the list; this school mascot from the sitcom “Community” might be scarier than most horror films. Recreating this costume is simple since it’s just a white morph suit with a terrifying Sharpie face. Some blue and white pom-poms are only necessary if you feel the need to cheer throughout the night, making for a more unsettling scene than it already will be. Once again, the suit might prove to be difficult to eat or drink with but fear not: cut a hole for the mouth and a nightmare is born.

MEN’S SOCCER

Indiana draws 1-1 against University of Evansville

kgut@iu.edu | @GutKamil

In the first part of its twomatch nonconference slate to close out the regular season, Indiana men’s soccer settled for a surprising 1-1 away draw against the University of Evansville on Tuesday night.

The Hoosiers entered the match looking to defend and extend a 19-match winning streak against the Purple Aces and held a 32-4-3 advantage in the series all-time.

The Purple Aces last earned a point in this meeting back in a 2-2 draw in the 1995 season.

Although the cream and crimson handled undoubtedly more talented in-state opposition earlier in the season — beating then-No.

21 Butler University in a 2-1 road comeback on Sept. 14 and shutting out the University of Notre Dame for a 1-0 win at home on Oct. 5 — they couldn’t generate enough offensively against Evansville to put the match out of reach.

Head coach Todd Yeagley made just one change to his starting lineup from Saturday’s loss against No. 2 Kentucky, replacing redshirt senior goalkeeper Bryant Pratt with junior goalkeeper JT Harms.

The Hoosiers started on the front foot and applied pressure through the lethal duo of sophomore forward Tommy Mihalic and senior forward Ryan Wittenbrink.

Just three minutes into the match, Wittenbrink took on

a defender down the left wing and played a short pass to Mihalic, who buried a first-time curled shot into the far-right netting.

Wittenbrink and Mihalic, Indiana’s top-two leaders in points and goals, extended their high marks with the early linkup. Wittenbrink is now in sole possession of the second-most assists of all Hoosiers with six, while Mihalic tied Wittenbrink at the top of the leaderboard with his sixth goal of the season.

Near the 30-minute mark, Yeagley made the first of a wave of expected substitutions in an effort to rest his top unit and let the team’s depth try to shine. Five starters went to the bench by halftime.

Outside of the quick start, neither team was creative enough in their attacking strategy to truly threaten the opposing back line. The Hoosiers led in total shots 5-4 at the break, but each team put just two shots on target in that span.

Freshman forward Tacredi Fadda’s turnaround volley in the penalty area in the 43rd minute, which junior goalkeeper JT Harms dove low toward to tip out of bounds, served as the Purple Aces’ most likely opportunity of equalizing through the opening half.

The Hoosiers could’ve doubled their lead through sophomore forward Samuel Sarver just minutes into the second half, but his one-on-

one shot was saved at pointblank range by graduate goalkeeper Alex Vidizzoni. Sarver slipped through the back line after a clever back-and-forth passing sequence with Wittenbrink, but his extra second of indecisiveness let Vidizzoni to dive forward in time for the deflection.

Indiana’s punishment came in the 54th minute, when the team’s corner kick led to a devastating counterattack.

Despite several attempts to boot the ball back toward Evansville’s penalty area after the initial breakaway started, Indiana was sloppy with the ball and didn’t track back in time to challenge senior winger Nkosi Graham’s sprint. Graham also took ad-

vantage of Harms’ mistimed dash out of his penalty area and shot into an open net to level the match at 1-1.

Even after the wakeup call, the Hoosiers’ urgency hardly translated into quality chances. Same went for the Purple Aces, who ended the match with a 10-9 lead in total shots and 6-3 lead in shots on target even though their long-range strikes after the equalizer qualified as very savable.

Wittenbrink almost played hero for Indiana once again in the 75th minute until Evansville’s back line made its finest play of the night. After an impressive run by Wittenbrink down the byline that brought him near the 6-yard box, an Evansville defender made a last-ditch tackle to deny Nate Ward a tap-in on Wittenbrink’s pass.

A couple of failed attacking sequences later, the Purple Aces celebrated their historic, hard-earned draw while junior defender Joey Maher tried to process his disbelief, his back glued to the soggy pitch.

The Hoosiers lost a touch of communication and chemistry with all the rotations made, but using the starters in a limited capacity was always the plan during this two-match stretch against their easiest opponents. By not capitalizing on the early lead and failing to match the Purple Aces’ energy, the Hoosiers made themselves vulnerable for long stretches and must drive home with a disappointing result.

Indiana will look to reestablish its dominance over instate competition and finish the season 3-0-1 against such opponents when it takes on Trine University at 6:30 p.m.

Thursday in Bloomington.

The Hoosiers beat the Thunder, a Division III program, 9-0 last season.
