Unhoused resources in Bloomington

Information and resources on needle exchanges, Narcan

By Natalie Fitzgibbons natfitzg@iu.edu | twitter

Needle exchange pro grams aim to keep people safe and healthy by provid ing sterile needles which de creases the chances of getting HIV and hepatitis. The pro grams are able to give people support and referrals for sub stance use disorder, medi cal and mental health treat ments, and social services. It does not increase crime in areas where the programs are located.

Needle exchange programs

Monroe County has a nee dle exchange program called Monroe County Syringe Ser vice Program. As of Sept. 9, the MCSSP operates out of the Indiana Recovery Alliance office at 118 S. Rogers St. and is usually open seven days a week. The MCSSP also oper ates out of mobile outreach van. The van is grey and is about the size of a UPS truck and has a “Indiana Recovery Alliance” logo on the side.

Times and locations of the MCSSP’s mobile outreach

van during the week:

» Sunday: 5-7 p.m. at the Indiana Recovery Alliance office at 118 S. Rogers St.

» Monday: noon-2 p.m. at the Shalom Community Center at 620 S. Walnut St.

» Tuesday: 5- 7 p.m. at the Indiana Recovery Alliance office at 118 S. Rogers St.

Earlier this year, I spoke to a class of IU students about the complexities and challenges of people who are housing insecure and of our region’s re sponse to this crisis. It’s a difficult, overwhelming topic — everyone has an opinion — but we often don’t agree on solutions. Even on a good day, hope can be hard to find.

Toward the end of the class, one student asked whether I thought we’d ever see the day when ev eryone has a safe place to

GUEST COLUMN: How IU students can help the Bloomington community strengthen housing security

live. I told him I have to believe the answer is yes.

I believe that now more than ever because I’ve seen the commitment, hard work and resources devoted to strengthen ing housing security in our region. The goal is to prevent people from fall ing into homelessness in the first place, by working on eviction prevention, creating more safe, afford able housing and shoring up vital infrastructure like transportation, childcare and access to health ser vices, among other things.

It’s a regional issue be cause these same hous ing security concerns are present in other counties, too. Many areas outside of Monroe County don’t have the services we do. So, when a crisis occurs and someone falls into homelessness, they often

can’t find the help they need in the community where they live.

At Heading Home of South Central Indiana, a community-wide collab orative that launched in late 2021, we’re partner ing with organizations in Monroe County and in surrounding counties to identify needs and work on solutions so people can keep their homes and don’t have to leave their friends, family and places they know in order to get help.

We’re also learning from other parts of the U.S. Our region is the first in Indiana to join Built for Zero, a nationwide initiative working with more than 100 communi ties who are committed to ending homelessness with a collaborative, datadriven approach.

The purpose for all of this comes back to our neighbors who are struggling, and our resolve to find sustainable, systemic changes to make homelessness rare, brief and non-repeating.

I believe it’s possible to reach that goal — a day when everyone has a safe, afford able place to call home.

IU students, faculty and staff can help strengthen housing security. Here are just a few suggestions:

» Host food and clothing drives or fundraisers at your residence hall, sorority, fraternity, club or department. Be sure to check with agencies who serve low-income residents to align your efforts with their needs.

» Find ways to use your skills to address housing insecurity in our community. Are you studying or teaching data analysis, public policy or media relations? Social service agencies might need these skills for their work.

» Volunteer for whatever jobs our social service agencies need. Most service providers post volunteer opportunities on their websites.

Volunteer as an individual or organize a group to volunteer. Form a team for the IU Kelley Institute for Social Impact’s Impact Competition 2023. The 2023 competition is partnering with Heading Home, and participants will be asked to develop innovative solutions to support our work. Teams of four are limited to one senior and open to all IUB undergraduate students. It includes over $10,000 in prizes for teams and an additional $10,000 for the winning team to implement their idea with Heading Home. Applications are open from Jan. 9 to Jan. 22. Learn more at Gokelley. iu.edu/impactcomp.

» Advocate with IU administration to address housing needs. Limited on-campus housing pushes students off campus, where housing costs are high and supply is limited. This impacts students, staff and even faculty who can’t find housing to fit their budget. And, of course, it affects other residents who have fewer resources and can’t afford the high cost of housing in this competitive market. What is the IU administration’s plan to address this crisis?

GUEST COLUMN: Questions loom as food gets harder to access

I’m writing from Moth er Hubbard’s Cupboard, a community food resource center working to improve access to healthy food while cultivating dignity, agency and community. I joined the Hub a year ago, as we were wondering what moving beyond the immediate, visible crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic would look like.

The past two years, which brought community care and public health to the top of our minds, were an uncomfortable period of strong financial support for many nonprofits. There were new funding oppor tunities from multiple lev els of government. Grant ors created less restricted opportunities to ensure there were no gaps in ser vices. Individuals donated at higher levels, feeling the pull of community more strongly.

Now, as we increasingly hear present times referred to as “post-COVID-19,” these streams of gener osity and governmental support have ended. Our student loan payments will resume. Households

enrolled in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Pro gram have seen a reduc tion in monthly benefits as COVID-19-related support ends. Universal free lunch for all school children, a pandemic support pro gram, has ended. Mean while, the cost of groceries rises.

In the pantry, this means we receive several questions with increasing frequency:

Will there be another delivery today? Patrons are very aware of our sched uled deliveries of food from Hoosier Hills Food Bank and how diverse their contents can be. Our partners at the food bank are doing their best to fill delivery trucks, but bar riers in the supply chain and increasing food prices are resulting in fewer ship ments. Patrons especially notice the reduction in more expensive grocery staples like milk, eggs and meat.

Is there more in the back? The answer here is often simple: No. There are not items that we are hold ing in the warehouse and not stocking. We are doing our best to keep shelves stocked, but there are

fewer items to stock. Stock also moves more quickly as we see an increasing number of patrons each month.

How often can I shop? Our most recent effort at maintaining a low-barrier pantry was removing a restriction asking house holds to shop once a week. What arrives at our pantry on Tuesday can look dif ferent than what arrives on Thursday. When stock is limited, visiting both days helps piece together a range of groceries that gets meals on the table.

Who else is open? Whether they need access to a pantry on a particular day, at a particular time or in a particular area of town, patrons have often used multiple agencies to meet their needs. Now, patrons are also curious about how our stock may be the same or different from other agencies so they can find all the items they need. At the same time, requests for bus passes, gas cards and delivery rise. Households need more trips to more places, spending more time and money for trans portation, to attain suffi cient support.

Seeing the labor re

quired for our community members to prevent meal gaps raises even more questions for me. As an organization, how do we adapt to what’s next and find the funds and re sources we need to meet our community where they are? And how will our government respond to this newest crisis in the emergency food system?

The federal government is poised to pass another farm bill in 2023, which will hold much of the pol icy governing how food moves into communities. Will we learn from CO VID-19 and solidify pan demic supports into stan dard practice? Will those of us who have the means advocate for these extra supports?

Locally, can we rally to bring universal free lunches to our schools and prevent meal gaps for our kids? Can we invest in low-barrier funding to get gas cards and bus passes distributed through our community, easing some of the work load for folks? Can we hold onto com munity care even when a pandemic isn’t making the need for it so visible? Will we keep showing up?

‘Smart Fridges’ are providing healthy food options on campus

By Mia Hilkowitz mhilkowi@iu.edu

Farmer’s Fridge is plan ning to place 10 to 12 more “smart fridges” on IU’s cam pus as part of its upcoming expansion plan.

The Chicago-based com pany produces and main tains smart fridges, which are about the size of a vend ing machine, that feature a variety of healthy food op tions including salads, gra nola bowls and sandwiches. In addition to airports and hospitals, Farmer’s Fridge has placed smart fridges on more than 50 college cam puses across the Midwest and Northeast, including at IU-Bloomington. Currently, there is already one Farm er’s Fridge smart fridge in the Simon Music Center.

Syed Shah, Farmer’s Fridge vice president of sales, said the company de cided to start placing these vending machines on col lege campuses nine years ago with the goal of mak ing healthy food accessible and affordable for college students. He said the com pany found a need for smart fridges on college campuses after seeing many food es tablishments had limited hours or food options.

“You might have a hand ful of large-scale dining halls that are located somewhat centrally, but you don’t have healthy food options at ev ery single place,” Shah said. “We’re really there for the 24/7 folks who need access all hours of the day.”

Shah said Farmer’s Fridge works with campus dining organizations to ap propriately place and man age the smart fridges.

“Typically, we work with campus dining to un derstand what placements would be beneficial for them and the student base,” Shah said. “So, with IU right now we’re actually currently working on an expansion plan to bring 10 to 12 more machines on campus and the dining team really helps us locate those spots.”

Shah said that the com pany determines which food is placed in smart

fridges based on a series of algorithms.

“We have technology that looks at thousands of differ ent variables to determine exactly what we should put in the fridge based on what we think the demand is go ing to be on that particular day,” Shah said. Shah said the use of these algorithms helps the company decrease food waste from the machines. The company also donates leftover food to decrease waste. Additionally, he said the food in the fridges, which is shipped from Chi cago, is switched out up to two times a day, seven days a week.

IU freshman Cadence Crane said she plans to use the new smart fridges on campus. Crane feels that besides salad bars in dining halls, she and her peers do not have access to healthy foods on campus.

“For example, at the burger place you can get your burger and fries, but there’s not necessarily any vegetable options there,” Crane said. “It’s hard to think about having to go and wait in another line af ter that to get vegetables. So, maybe just make more evenly dispersed vegetable options.”

According to IU Din ing’s website, dining halls maintain food options that can cater toward different diets and nutrition prefer ences including vegetarian, vegan and halal options. IU all-you-care-to-eat dining halls also have plant-based alternatives and allergen free options. Additionally, students can utilize IU Din ing’s online NetNutrition tool to find nutritional and common allergen informa tion, as well as plan meals around their personal nutri tion goals.

Currently Farmer’s Fridge smart fridges do not allow students to use meal exchanges or dining dollars to purchase food.

IU freshman Amelia Xanders said she would be more likely to use the Farmer’s Fridge vending machines if there is an op tion to allow students to use meal exchanges or dining dollars to purchase food.

“If there was a way po tentially where dining dol lars can be used or some thing like that, that’d be really beneficial because those are already included in food plans,” Xanders said. “I know a lot of people want the extra healthy food, but they don’t have the extra money or income to spend.”

While specific options and prices may vary by lo cation and date, the typi cal cost of Farmer’s Fridge items range from $6 to $9 per item.

A beaver found a home in IU’s Campus River

By Carter DeJong cadejong@iu.edu | dejong_carter

A beaver has made itself a home on IU’s Campus River.

The beaver’s dam is in a lightly-wooded area far enough away from footpaths that students should not typi cally encounter the animal. The beaver presents no risk to students, IU paleontologist P. David Polly said.

“The main conceivable risk is that one could fell a tree,” Polly said, “The chances of one hitting a student are almost zero.”

Beaver dams on the Cam pus River could reduce the risk of flooding. The Campus River flows into a culvert on Indiana Avenue near Frank lin Hall. It was this culvert that overflowed during a thunderstorm in June 2021, causing one death and prop erty damage on Kirkwood Avenue.

“Allegedly, the sound of running water annoys them, so they build dams to make pools,” Polly said. “This slows down the water flow,”

The beaver is not a risk to IU property, unless the pool created by the dam becomes so large that it could put nearby areas or buildings at risk of flooding or if the bea ver cuts down too many trees, Polly said.

According to Purdue’s guide to common Indiana

Mammals, American bea vers weigh between 28 and 70 pounds and can live up to 20 years old in the wild. They eat plants, twigs and tree bark. Beavers create dams by cut ting down trees with their teeth and packing them with mud. The dam creates a pool that promotes the growth of plants that the beaver eats, according to the guide.

In the midwest, beavers were nearly hunted to ex tinction due to the North American Fur Trade that be gan in the 1600s. They were easily hunted since they live around rivers and streams.

According to the Bonner County Historical Society in Idaho, beaver pelts were in high demand from the 1600s to the mid-1800s due to the popularity of beaver top hats across Europe.

Beavers were reintro duced in 1935 at the JasperPulaski Fish and Wildlife Area, according to the Indi ana Department of Natural Resources. Beavers have made such a comeback in Indiana that around 3,000 of them are trapped by licensed trappers each year to keep populations healthy.

During the last ice age, In diana was home to a species known as the giant beaver. At 6 to 7 feet in length and up to 275 pounds, the species roamed North America up until about 10,000 years ago.

IU professor Julia Plavnik awarded the Humboldt Fellowship

By Kathleen Tran trankat@iu.edu

Julia Plavnik, an assistant professor of mathematics at IU, recently received the Hum boldt Fellowship, a lifelong network of 60 to 70 selected researchers that provide re sources such as sponsorships and research institutions and encourage collaboration.

The Humboldt Research Fellowship, developed by the Humboldt Foundation, provides recipients with re sources they need to conduct their research at any German institution of their choosing for 18 months. They offer two different fellowships catered toward different applicants: postdoctoral or experienced researchers.

Plavnik serves as the prin cipal investigator for the Si mons Collaboration on Global Categorical Symmetries, fac ulty adviser of the Women in Math Club and is involved in the IU Quantum Science and Engineering Center and the Peer Mentoring Initiative.

“As an organization dedi cated to uplifting underrep resented individuals in math ematics, she's definitely an inspiration to all of us,” Brooke Augustine, IU senior and covice president of the Women in Math Club, said. “Having a successful and recognized adviser serves as a reminder that the impostor syndrome is simply the voice in the back of your head.”

The Women in Math Club at IU is an organization that

builds community in the math department by hosting or vol unteering at social events and aims to make math fun for children.

Additionally, Plavnik was recently a Kovener Teaching Fellow for two years and a re cipient of the Center of Excel lence for Women & Technol ogy 2022 Outstanding Faculty Mentor/Advocates. She was given a grant from the Na tional Science Foundation, or NFS, from 2018 to 2022 to study quantum symmetries including tensor categories, braids and Hopf algebras. The NSF awarded Plavnik another grant until 2027 to study co homology, classification and constructions of tensor cat egories.

“She’s an outstanding con

tributor to all aspects of our mission: research, teaching and service and support in mathematics,” IU mathemat ics chair Kevin Pilgrim said. “She has been recognized in multiple dimensions with nearly a million dollars in grant funds but also for her dedication to teaching under graduates. That kind of mul tidimensional commitment is something that we can all aspire to.”

Plavnik’s research focuses on quantum symmetries while primarily concentrating on its algebraic aspects. According to her website, she says her main interest revolves around the mathematical foundation of topological phases of mat ters.

“We plan to work on a

project which aims at embed ding a construction from alge bra into the setting of topolog ical field theories,” Universität Hamburg mathematics pro fessor Christoph Schweigert said. “This project combines Julia’s and my expertise per fectly.”

Since 2019, Universität Hamburg is one of Germany’s 10 federal excellence univer sities. The German Research Foundation funded four dif ferent “clusters of excellence,” one of them being quantum universe. It combines physi cists and mathematicians to research a better under standing of nature at its most fundamental level and how mathematical theories can ex plain that. Schweigert will be hosting Plavnik at Universität

Hamburg and working in this cluster.

“I think Hamburg is one of the best places to work on different aspects of quantum symmetries and I feel privi leged with this opportunity,” Plavnik said. “One thing that I find especially appealing about the Humboldt Fel lowship and Foundations is that they focus on research excellence, but this is not a one-time opportunity. You belong to their network and that brings many new oppor tunities for the fellow but also people around.”

Plavnik plans to split her fellowship into three visits, one per year for the next three years. Her first visit will be during the spring term of the 2022-2023 academic year.

What to do if you suspect someone has overdosed on opioids:

» Check if they are breathing normally or at all.

» Check if their skin is turning blue or ashen.

» See if they are responsive.

» Check if there is any paraphernalia around them.

» If there is no response, call 911 and tell dispatch the person is not breathing and or unresponsive.

How to treat someone, and how to use Narcan to re spond to an opioid overdose: Use the acronym “SAVE ME” to give Narcan nasal spray, or “SCARE ME” to give Narcan injection. Both are useful in knowing what to do if you think someone has over dose from opioids.

Narcan nasal spray instruc tions, or “SAVE ME” system:

» Stimulation: Use noise by shouting at the person, or use pain doing a sternal rub. Always say what you are going to do before touching them. Call 911 if no response.

» A irway: Lay person on their back on a hard surface with

head tilted upwards. Remove any obstructions from mouth.

» Ventilate: Keep head tilted upwards, pinch nose and create seal around mouth. If possible, use a piece of cloth or barrier when giving breaths. Give two quick breaths. Continue to give one breath every five seconds until the person becomes responsive or help arrives. Breath is more important than Narcan because it gives oxygen to the brain.

» Evaluate: Check if the person is breathing. If you do not have Narcan continue with breaths. Giving rescue breathing combined with calling 911 is enough to save a life.

» M edication: Peel open nasal spray package, hold the device with thumb on bottom of the plunger and two fingers on the nozzle. Place and hold tip of the nozzle in either person’s nostril until your fingers touch the bottom of the person’s nose. Press plunger firmly to release the dose into the person’s nose.

» Evaluate: Check if the person is breathing. If not, give one breath every five seconds for 3-5 minutes. No response after 3-5 minutes, give another dose of

nasal spray in the other nostril. Continue to give one breath every five seconds until the person starts to breathe or 911 arrives.

Narcan injection instruc tions, or “SCARE ME” system:

» Stimulation: See if you can wake them up by noise or sternal rub as said above. Always say what you are going to do before touching them.

» Call for help: If no response, call 911.

» Airway: Make sure there are no obstructions in the person’s mouth as said above.

Rescue breathing: Two quick breaths every five seconds.

» Evaluate: Are you able to get the Narcan injection prepared fast enough, so they won’t go too long without breathing?

» Muscle injection: Inject 1cc into a muscle in the upper thigh, the upper arm or the buttocks.

» Evaluate and support: Check if they are breathing. If not, continue with rescue breathing and give them another dose after the first one wears off in 30 to 90 minutes. Continue with rescue breathing if not responsive while waiting for 911 to arrive.

your socks. Dry clothes will hold body heat more effectively. If possible, keep an extra pair of socks just for sleeping in. Wear an even amount of clothing. Try to layer your cloth ing evenly on your en tire body so you do not wake up with a warm upper body and cold feet.

How to use a sleeping bag effectively

There are ways to utilize a sleeping bag when thinking about being cold at night. It is important to go to bed warm. Sleeping bags trap heat but can not create it.

Get warm before you get into your sleep ing bag. Try drinking or eating something warm before going to bed — preferably something high in fat that will take longer to metabolize, thus creat ing more heat.

Put clothes in the bottom of your bag. If your sleeping bag is too long, your feet will get cold due to the ex tra space.

To keep your feet warm, take extra cloth ing and stuff it at the bottom of your sleep ing bag for extra insu lation.

General sleeping tips

There are ways to stay warm while sleep ing in colder condi tions besides just lay ering up.

Do not fall asleep right away. Before fall ing asleep try mov ing around to get your blood circulating, which will raise your body temperature. Do not cover your face. It is okay to wear a hat or cover your neck while sleeping. Do not cover your face with your sleeping bag because you will wake up cold from the mois ture.

Foreign interference in American elections is growing more brash MILLER MIXDOWN

Over the course of the past several elections, there has been rampant specula tion about foreign interfer ence in American elections.

There was famously Rus sian interference against Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election and Ukrainian in terference in opposition to Trump after claiming he would recognize Russia’s claim over Crimea. There was interference from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, as investigated by Robert Mueller, and claimed interference across the board from China, Rus sia and Iran in 2018. In the 2020 elections, declassified intelligence reports accused Russia and Iran of interfer ing on behalf of their own

interests, supporting Trump and Biden respectively.

Yet, as this year's mid terms are coming to a close, various worrying reports about foreign interference in our election processes have gone under the radar. So far, reports accuse Chi na, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Russia of interference through legal and illegal means.

Despite reports not con cluding China had inter fered in the 2020 election, the 2022 midterms were a much different story. So cial media giants Meta and Twitter banned many China-based accounts for spreading disinformation and discouraging voter turnout. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Justice specifically indicted sev eral individuals of smearing and physical threats against

Democratic House candi date Xiong Yan, who was a student leader in the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests.

One of the most worry ing reports came against the UAE. Although the intel ligence report is still classi fied, the Wall Street Journal alleges that the UAE has hired operatives to surveil dissidents, break into com puters and steal cyberse curity technology, all in ad dition to the $154 million it has legally been allowed to spend on lobbyists since 2016. To illustrate the im portance of this classified report, senior intelligence officials emphasized they rarely compile such reports on friendly powers. It is like ly that more information on this will come out, indicat ing more electoral interfer ence.

Saudi Arabia has at

Marvel to A24: How fandom shuns femininity

How often have you heard the phrase “women can’t like anything?” It was something I uttered to friends daily in middle school, frustrated that I couldn’t enjoy things with out having to prove it. This mindset is applied in every subset of fandom, affecting every corner of fandom en gagement.

As one might guess, it all stems from the systemic issue of misogyny, but the true roots are far more com plex. Girls are often over shadowed in fandom spaces by men who like the same thing, often creating a toxic environment that pushes away anything feminine.

Let’s look at “She-Hulk: Attorney At Law.” The new Marvel series stars a witty, self-aware She-Hulk becom ing an attorney for superhe roes within the Marvel uni verse. Based on the Marvel comics of the titular char acter, the show offers some thing clearly more directed at a female audience, fea turing stars like Megan Thee Stallion, who does not pan der to a male audience. SheHulk was the quintessential fourth-wall breaking, raun chy superhero years before

Deadpool was conceived. She was a hero for women, but a monster for men.

The series used realworld inspiration for its presentation of toxic fan dom culture, bringing the series back to its meta roots.

Even though the portrayal of this fandom is supposed to be exaggerated, real-life fanboys complained about She-Hulk being too bulky. What did they expect, a frail looking woman attempt ing to lift a car? She doesn’t even appear to be remotely as buff as her male coun terpart, greatly disappoint ing many non-male fans of Marvel.

Even spaces designed for women and girls end up more saturated with men, often complaining about the lack of quality or substance.

“Bodies, Bodies, Bodies” is a perfect example of this.

Written and directed by women and starring mostly women, this movie incred ibly centers the Gen Z queer experience by creating a funny slasher film. How ever, this breakthrough film has received horrific back lash, seemingly because it’s made by women. It’s called “a 95-minute advertisement for cleavage” and “a crime against slasher flicks” be cause the girls wear tank tops in the summer and it’s

not “Halloween.”

Sadly enough, the first review I mentioned is writ ten by a woman. This is ul timately what fandom cul ture does: it forces women to tear other women down, thus gaining approval from the men in the space. This so-called “pick-me” culture is immensely damaging. By tearing down other women for the approval of a pre dominately male audience, it’s doing the work of misog yny without involving men in the equation.

I’m not saying that women have to like every thing other women do. I didn’t love it when Rory Gilmore slept with Dean right before his wedding, but I didn’t feel the need to call her a slut. Sure, I was disappointed, but women are complicated people too. It shouldn’t be a good thing when Barney Stinson is a womanizer and a bad thing when Rory makes one bad decision.

Everyone deserves to see themselves represented on screen. Those representa tions shouldn’t be picked apart for all their horrible traits when it’s just a buff woman or an accurate styl ing of 20-something girls. Fandom should do better. I don’t know when it actually will.

tempted to influence the 2022 midterms through monetary means. Siding it self with Russia, the interna tional oil cartel OPEC+ cut two million barrels of oil per day out of production one month before election day. As gas prices increased, the Saudi government hoped it would hurt Democrat’s chances, leading to the re election of Republicans, such as Trump, who was much more partial to their interests. This kind of for eign partisanship based on which party represents their interests better is dangerous in our already contentious two-party system.

The United States can not allow brazen election interference as seen in the examples above. The coun tries of Saudi Arabia and the UAE remain horrible “allies” to America, and it is hon

estly astounding we still see them as having any com mon interests apart from oil production. Both countries are actively participating and using American weap ons in their inhumane inter ference in the Yemeni Civil War, killing multitudes of civilians and contributing to famine.

Both countries have large populations of migrant workers whose conditions have been compared to modern-day slave labor, and both countries treat women, LGBTQ individuals and po litical dissidents as subhu man. Saudi Arabia was the state that brazenly killed journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018, dismembering him with a bone saw. These in terests cannot be allowed to influence our elections.

While on this topic, it is important to recognize the

innate hypocrisy in the op position to foreign interfer ence in American elections, as America in the past has interfered in many foreign regime changes — too many to count. Oftentimes result ing in extreme violence, these regime changes often removed communist, so cialist or even slightly-Soviet sympathetic rulers from power during the Cold War. However, if the world is to move forward, countries cannot allow this brash foreign electoral interfer ence, even through the legal means of lobbyist groups to remain a democracy. If this is allowed to continue, countries will start to see a precedent in the actions of Russia, Saudi Arabia, China and the UAE, and this prob lem will only get worse.

IU needs to provide more classes for nonfavored specialties

Gentry Keener (she/her) is a sophomore studying journalism and political science.

When I was searching for colleges to apply to and ultimately choosing which one to attend, the fact that IU was ranked No. 19 for journalism programs in the country was a major pull. I am happy with my decision to come here, and I love my program. However, I have felt nothing but frustration the past three semesters when course scheduling rolls around.

The difficulty of getting into my critical core classes or even finding classes for my major that interested me has proven incredibly difficult. With each pass ing semester it only gets more frustrating. I thought this was all just in my head, and I didn’t expect so many other people to feel the same way.

As it turns out, the Me dia School isn't the only area that needs improving when it comes to classes.

Junior Chloe Davis said the O'Neill School of Pub lic and Environmental Af fairs has a similar issue. Davis explained to me how she has struggled to fulfill required classes due to a lack of diverse content and overlapping schedules.

The overlapping class es was a problem I heard many students talk about. All the classes of interest are scheduled at the same time. For me, this was a ma jor issue when scheduling and many of the overlap ping classes are required for me to graduate. It is dif ficult to build a schedule that is actually advancing you in your degree, when half of them are at the same time.

Davis also said a ma jority of her classes often revolve around the same topics.

“I’ve taken about three or four classes centered on climate change and pos sible solutions,” Davis said.

“Most classes covering en vironmental issues will dis cuss repeated topics.”

Many students that I talked to expressed frustra tions revolving around the low range of class topics of fered in each concentration or major.

In the Media School, journalism students are re quired to have “journalism skill electives.” These are specific classes you can take to get a more focused idea of your specialty. However, when you search for classes to fulfill this requirement, seven of the 26 classes be ing offered in spring 2023 are centered around sports or broadcasting. Another six are broad classes that don’t specify the topic.

Many of the classes that appear interesting to me, such as Travel Writing, Social Media Movements, or Investigative Reporting are listed but not offered. Although it is great that we have such an amazing sports journalism program here, some other special ties appear to be pushed aside.

As I researched through other majors and talked with other students, the Hutton Honors College was also brought to my atten tion.

When looking at the available Hutton courses on their page, it is apparent that most of them are class

es designated to students in the Kelley School of Busi ness. This makes it incred ibly easy for Kelley students to pursue the Honors No tation. However, for many other majors, they struggle to get their 18 credit hours of HON-H classes. There fore, it is like pursuing a mi nor in honors classes. Not to mention, many classes also require prerequisites, such as biology or technol ogy courses. The classes lack diversity and range, making it difficult for nonKelley students to obtain an Honors Notation.

Several students intro duced other degrees and schools that suffer the same issues. As much as I thought this was an issue only I dealt with, it has be come apparent to me it is a larger problem throughout the entire university.

IU seems to favors spe cific schools and majors, making it much simpler for them to get their degrees. Meanwhile, other majors — even ones that the school advertises as one of the best in the country — fall be hind. Many students are left taking classes they have no interest in or even not grad uating on time due to the lack of space in each class. IU needs to share the love, rather than prioritize their favorites.

Q&A with ‘The Nutcracker’ director Michael Vernon

By Gino Diminich gdiminic@iu.edu| @GinoDiminichII

The Musical Arts Center will stage its second ballet of the semester with Tchai kovsky’s “The Nutcracker.” The production will be di rected by acclaimed chore ographer Michael Vernon, with performances at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 1-3 and 2 p.m. Dec. 3-4.

First produced at IU in 2007, Vernon has contin ued to entertain audiences with his spectacular chore ography. The Indiana Daily Student spoke with Vernon about his role as director of “The Nutcracker” on Nov. 7.

IDS: Going back to the beginning, what first got you into ballet?

Vernon: going a long way back. Well, I was born in London, and my mother had an inter est in ballet and wanted someone to go with. So, I went with her and took to it immediately when I was 8. I went to see the Royal Ballet, and I remember it even now; she also took me because they would have royal command perfor mances. They were really a benefit for the opera house that the Queen would at tend, and it was a big ritual that also drew me into the whole theater and ritual of ballet. So, I sort of just saw it once and was hooked, the age-old story.

IDS: So later on, when you came to America, were there any striking differences be tween

the attitude towards bal let compared to the U.K.?

Vernon: Oh definitely, that’s one of the reasons I came. I always thought I was coming to America. What I didn’t realize was that I was coming to New York because New York is so different from the rest of America. There’s a much more modern approach to ballet — more up to date — and the U.K. is just steeped

worked on a movie in the UK, so I’d saved up enough money to live in New York for seven weeks and — like I always say — I’m still here.

IDS: You’ve held numerous occupations with several renowned ballet compa nies and institutions. How have these experiences shaped you?

Vernon: Well, I think I’ve

choreograph, where do you start?

Vernon: Music. I see music in terms of dance and structure — it’s what makes a choreographer a choreog rapher. Not every choreog rapher is like that, but for me the starting point has always been the music and whether it moves me to move — not necessarily in the classical way but in the way that it

those years. We did a lot of the classics of the dance world. We did Martha Gra ham, Merce Cunningham, Paul Taylor, and I tried to just broaden the minds and horizons of the dancers and audiences.

IDS: When did you first choreograph “The Nut cracker” for IU?

Vernon: Well, “The Nutcracker” here was first

put my own touches on it to tell the story clearly and choreograph it so it was suitable for the dancers in the company I was working for.

IDS: You’ve restaged this show numerous times. What impacts how it changes?

Vernon: I think the world, technology, what I see and other Nutcrackers. I try to

No. 12 Indiana pulls off upset of No. 11 Tennessee

By Matt Sebree masebr@iu.edu | @mattsebree

In its first test of the early season, No. 12 Indi ana women’s basketball de feated No. 11 University of Tennessee 79-67 on Monday in Knoxville. With the win, the Hoosiers improve to 3-0 but more importantly, get a victory that will likely boost their resume on Selection Sunday in March.

As the Lady Volunteer faithful filled ThompsonBoling Arena and the game tipped off, neither side gained a clear advantage early and Tennessee went into the first media timeout with a 1-point lead.

However, coming out of that first timeout, Indiana jumped out and controlled the game with an 11-0 run midway through the first quarter. In the final five minutes of the first period, Indiana won nearly every hustle play to secure loose balls and extra possessions. During the run, the Hoo siers grabbed four offensive rebounds. Those four added opportunities turned into 9 points, highlighted by junior guard Sydney Parrish flying into the paint for a putback layup off a missed 3-pointer by senior guard Sara Scalia.

“We wanted to get off to a fast start. We wanted to get some points on the board,” Moren said. “But we ulti mately knew that the game was going to be won on the defensive end, our ability to rebound, our ability to make a lot of hustle plays tonight. Things that just don't show up in the stat sheet, I believe, are why we won.”

Having built a double-

digit lead in the first frame of the game, Indiana had to maintain that lead for 30 more minutes to leave with the win. The Hoosiers kept the Lady Vols deficit at two possessions or more until the final buzzer sounded.

Tennessee’s best oppor tunity to cut it to a one score game came with seven min utes left in the fourth quar ter when graduate student forward Jasmine Franklin got fouled on a layup and converted the and-one at

the line. The play brought the crowd to its feet, getting louder than it had all night.

On Indiana’s next play down the floor, it was met with a zone defense from Tennessee, which the Lady Vols employed throughout the game. Indiana graduate student guard Grace Berger responded by taking the ball up the floor and making a move to find a soft spot in the zone to hit an open mid range jumper — a shot she has become synonymous

with during her career.

“These are some vet erans,” Moren said. “They know that this is the game, and there's going to be shifts. There's going to be more momentum chang es. I just feel like we have a group that understands that, and I thought that they played with great discipline throughout”

Berger finished with 13 points, 10 rebounds and six assists and senior forward Mackenzie Holmes added 16

points and 10 rebounds for a double-double of her own. Parrish, Scalia and junior guard Chloe Moore-McNeil also scored in double figures for the Hoosiers.

For Moore-McNeil, the game was a bit of a home coming, being from Green field, Tennessee — 300 miles and a five-hour drive from Knoxville. While at Green field High School, MooreMcNeil won a state title with Tennessee junior guard Tess Darby and freshman guard

Edie Darby.

“It meant honestly the world to me. Seeing my old former teammates and had the whole town of Green field at this game.” MooreMcNeil said. “It shows how much they are behind not just me, but Tess and Edie as well.”

With the win, Moore-Mc Neil and Indiana return to Bloomington to face Bowl ing Green State University at 7 p.m. Thursday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.

COLUMN: Class is in session, and Indiana aced its first test

By Matt Press mtpress@iu.edu | @MatthewPress23

As the Osborne Broth ers’ cult classic “Rocky Top” roared through Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, Tennessee, for seemingly the hundredth time, the orange-check ered-clad home fans began to bid adieu to their home court.

With a few minutes remaining in Monday’s game between No. 12 In diana women’s basketball and No. 11 Tennessee, the Hoosiers’ double-digit lead was clearly insurmount able for the Lady Vols. After two swift beatdowns of the University of Vermont and the University of Massa chusetts Lowell, it was fair to question how Indiana would perform in its first true test of the season.

Well, if the Hoosiers’ decisive 79-67 road win

taught us anything, it’s that they’re a force to be reck oned with. Head coach Teri Moren, who is in the midst of her ninth season at the helm, has often preached toughness and discipline.

Even when her teams lacked success from a win ning perspective, every opponent knew what they were getting into when they took the floor with her scrappy bunch. On Mon day night, the hallmarks of a Moren-led team were fully encapsulated. The Hoosiers punched the Lady Vols in the mouth early and jumped out to a 40-29 half time advantage.

The lead peaked at 16 in the third quarter, but then Indiana started to stumble. Tennessee stormed back to cut the deficit to four, but as the fans’ hostility and rowdiness heightened, the Hoosiers dusted them selves off and delivered a

series of knockout blows to put the game away.

Indiana maintains a distinct mantra of gritti ness and “doing the little things right.” Before the past couple seasons, the cliches grew tiresome. But as Moren has continued to bolster her rosters with talent, they have become a true asset.

At the outset of the season, essentially the Hoosiers’ only known commodities were gradu ate student guard Grace Berger and senior forward Mackenzie Holmes. With an influx of shooting talent in transfers such as junior guard Sydney Parrish and senior guard Sara Scalia, as well as junior guard Chloe Moore-McNeil being thrust into a starting role, we knew this team would be different. Not necessarily better, but different.

Call it recency bias, but

I think this team could be better. Part of the reason for that is how innate the makeup of a Moren team is. After the game, Moren said she questioned how tough her team would be after veterans Aleksa Gulbe, Ali Patberg and Nicole Carda ño-Hillary departed. After all, no one embodied what it means to play for Indiana like that trio.

Still, watching Par rish lay out for a loose ball and subsequently pump her fists into the air, Sca lia crash the offensive glass after missing a midrange pullup and freshman Yard en Garzon put her body on the line for a charging call indicate that the Hoosiers’ blue-collar DNA hasn’t been subdued.

In fact, the most impres sive part of Monday’s vic tory was watching Indiana impose its will on Tennes see while also embracing

FOOTBALL

its newfound love for pe rimeter shooting. While the efficiency wasn’t as pro nounced as their first two games — they shot eight for 29 from three-point range against the Lady Vols — the willingness to let those shots fly is a refresh ing change of pace.

Although Scalia and Parrish struggled to shoot from deep, the game didn’t require a 3-point explo sion. What it came down to was those aforementioned little things: who would put more effort into a boxout, slide with tenacity into help defense and run the floor in transition, be it on offense or defense.

With a 17-10 advantage in second-chance points, as well as a hefty 21-2 dis parity in points off fast breaks, the Hoosiers were more than happy to play the game they know. While simply having more heart

may not have been enough to beat a team as talented as the Lady Vols in the past, this new look Indiana team plays with an amalgam of moxie, shooting ability and yes, grit.

It won’t always be flashy. Sometimes Holmes just needs to barrel her way through defenders and lay the ball off the glass. Some times Berger just needs to shoo her teammates away and pull up for a contested midrange shot. But what’s different about these Hoo siers is we know their po tential to score from all three levels.

As long as they contin ue to play with the same defensive intensity and pure desire they displayed against Tennessee, the Hoosiers could do some serious damage. Folks, it’s safe to say that Indiana has arrived.

Indiana suffers brutal beatdown against the Buckeyes

Bazelak made his shortlived return to starting quar terback this week after be ing sidelined last week. In a 21-point hole, Indiana head coach Tom Allen turned to redshirt sophomore quar terback Dexter Williams II in an effort to give energy to the sluggish offense.

On his first drive, Wil liams provided a muchneeded spark. On his first play, Williams eclipsed the production done from Indi ana on its first three drives.

The drive was highlight ed by a Williams connection to junior receiver Andison Coby for 49 yards in the middle of the field and end ed with a Williams throw to junior tight end AJ Barner for a touchdown.

“The plan was to play Dexter and see how things went,” Allen said after the game. “I felt like he was do ing a lot of good things.”

ana, 28-7. After one half of football, Ohio State had 377 total yards of offense compared to Indiana’s 147. It only took one half for Miyan Williams to reach 100 yards rush ing on 9.8 yards per carry against the 11th-ranked Big Ten rushing defense.

To start the second half, a blocked Indiana punt early in the third quarter appeared to be the dagger breaking the game open for Ohio State. Following the blocked punt, Ohio State found the end zone three more times before Indiana scored again.

Early in the fourth quar ter, Williams found the sophomore receiver Do naven McCulley for a 19yard touchdown reception. That was the last breath from Indiana. The Buckeyes found the end zone once more in their 56-14 route of Indiana.

downs — all with just six completions on nine at tempts. The Hoosiers fin ished with a season-low nine completions to receiv ers.

“We will evaluate every thing as a staff, but I like what I saw from Dexter to day,” Allen said on the po tential for Williams to start next week against Michigan State.

On top of the offensive standstill, Indiana’s de fense allowed 662 offensive yards, more than 300 yards on both the ground and through the air. Ohio State’s Stroud threw for five touch downs on only 17 pass com pletions.

“I was disappointed with the explosive plays we gave up, especially in the run game,” Allen said. “With all the playmakers they have, the pass game is hard. Not enough guys making plays.”

Cold conditions and snow flurries in Ohio Sta dium greeted Indiana foot ball ahead of its matchup with No. 2 Ohio State. The Hoosiers entered the game as a 40-point underdog, in search of a rejuvenating upset that never transpired. Instead, Indiana was em

barrassed by Ohio State on the road, 56-14.

The game started with the much-expected Ohio State dominance on both offense and defense. Buck eyes junior quarterback CJ Stroud would first find sophomore receivers Eme ka Egbuka and Marvin Har rison Jr. in the air for a pair of touchdowns in the first quarter.

Sandwiched by the re ceiving touchdowns, fresh man running back Dallan Hyden broke loose on the ground for 14 yards to find the end zone, bringing the Buckeye lead to 21-0.

Dead in the water, Indi ana was reluctant to get a first down, as its first three offensive drives were all three and outs.

The defense on both sides tightened up in the second quarter. After its ini tial touchdown drive, Indi ana’s offense once again fell flat despite Williams being at the helm. Buckeyes junior running back Miyan Wil liams’ rushing touchdown was the lone score in the second quarter.

Going into the locker room, Ohio State led Indi

Indiana had 16 offensive drives against Ohio State on Saturday. Twelve of those drives ended with a punt and nine of the 12 were three-and-outs. The Hoo siers only had 269 yards of total offense.

In his second appear ance at quarterback for In diana, Williams threw for 107 yards and two touch

With the loss, Indiana football won’t go bowling this season failing to attain six wins and a .500 winning percentage. The Hoosiers continue their deep dive to the bottom, losing their last seven games after starting 3-0.

Indiana dominates on both ends, defeats Bethune-Cookman 101-49

By Emma Pawlitz epawlitz@iu.edu | @emmapawlitz

No. 13 Indiana men’s basketball routed BethuneCookman University 101-49 in its second game of the season. Coming off a strong, yet incomplete performance against Morehead State Uni versity on Nov. 7, the Hoosiers mended many of their previ ous wounds and capitalized on their strengths. They ex ceeded expectations in several different areas, and there were multiple facets contributing to the dominant win.

Free throws

Head coach Mike Wood son emphasized his disap pointment with the Hoosiers’ 12-21 free-throw shooting performance after the seasonopener against Morehead State. In Thursday night’s out ing, Indiana looked like a com pletely different squad.

The Hoosiers shot a re markable 94.1% from the foul line, sinking 21 out of 22 at tempts. Freshman forward Kaleb Banks sank all six of his shots, and freshman guard Jalen Hood-Schifino and grad uate guard Xavier Johnson made four each.

“You’ve got to go up to the line with that mentality that you’re going to step up and knock it down,” junior guard Trey Galloway said. “We’ve been really focused on taking free throws seriously during practice. Just knocking them down is what matters.”

Indiana outshot BethuneCookman from the line by a vast margin. The Wildcats at tempted their first free throw with 6:36 left in the second half and made six out of 13 total on the night.

3-point shooting

Indiana has lacked strength from beyond the arc in recent

years, struggling to find a goto, knockdown guy in its times of need. Graduate guard Miller Kopp came to Indiana last sea son hoping to be just that. Ex cept, his performance was of ten lackluster, and a hot shoot ing streak never lasted long.

Kopp has flipped the script during the young 2022-23 campaign, shooting ninefor-11 in Indiana’s two exhibi tion and two regular season games and 4-for-6 from the 3-point line Thursday night.

“Going into the off-season was big for me,” Kopp said.

“Just focusing on getting reps and being cognitive of how big, mentally, shooting is.”

Kopp was the ringleader behind an Indiana offense that shot 41.7% from the 3-point line, knocking down 10 in total. Galloway hit two, and Johnson, freshman forward Malik Reneau, junior forward Jordan Geronimo and sopho more guard Tamar Bates all hit one of their own.

“It makes a big difference — being able to split out the floor and make shots,” Gal loway said. “Shooting the ball with confidence is a big thing for us, because we know we’ve got guys that can make shots.”

Pesky perimeter defense Johnson shined on the de fensive side of the floor, leading an aggressive, lockdown Hoo sier attack. Indiana forced 19 Bethune-Cookman turnovers, three of which were shot-clock violations. The Hoosiers also recorded 10 steals, with two from both Geronimo and Gal loway.

Woodson, who was men tored by Indiana legend and defensive savant Bobby Knight, praised his team’s ef forts in shutting down the Bet hune-Cookman offense.

“If you defend and re bound, you’re going to be in every game,” Woodson. “If

you don’t turn it over and at least get shots and you defend and rebound the ball, you give yourself a chance to win every night you step out on the floor. Our defense was solid last year, and it’s been a nice carryover into this early season.”

Transition offense Despite an off-shooting night from Hood-Schifino, his offensive presence was invalu able. He ended the game with the highest +/- on the team, 34, and eight assists. Hood-Sch ifino’s greatest asset against Bethune-Cookman came from pushing the ball in transition to give his teammates easy, open looks.

“When he’s got the ball in his hands, he makes the right play, the right reads,” Galloway said of Hood-Schifino. “He’s going to continue to make those plays when we need him to. I think he did a great job of that, just finding guys in tran

sition like Miller, finding open guys, finding me. He’s doing a good job of pushing it and pushing the pace for sure.”

Indiana ended the night with 27 assists on 35 made field goals. Many of those shots were highlight plays: aggres sive dunks, nifty layups and quick-release 3-pointers mere seconds after Bethune-Cook man committed a turnover.

“I mentioned to these guys going into this game that we should average 20 to 25 as sists a game,” Woodson said. “If you’re unselfish and a guy is open, you’ve got to give him the ball. Tonight, we shared it, and it didn’t hurt us that we made shots from the perim eter, and we made our free throws.”

After an eight-day sabbati cal, Indiana will return to the court to face Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 18 as part of the Gavitt Games. Tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m.

Indiana earns No. 13 seed in NCAA Tournament

By Kamil Gut kgut@iu.edu | @GutKamil

Indiana men’s soccer earned the No. 13 seed in the NCAA Tournament, extending its streak of top-16 seeds in the postseason to nine consecutive seasons, the NCAA announced in its official Selection Show broadcast Monday. The entire bracket can be found on the NCAA’s official website.

With the bye, Indiana awaits the winner of the first-round matchup between Saint Louis University and the University of Memphis.

Saint Louis earned an au tomatic bid by winning the At lantic 10 Conference title, and comes in with a Ratings Powers Index, or RPI, of No. 18 national ly. Meanwhile, Memphis came in fourth in the American Ath letic Conference regular-season standings and lost in the cham pionship match. The Tigers come in at No. 38 in RPI.

If Indiana wins its secondround matchup, it can play ei ther No. 4-seeded University of Virginia, Marshall University or Elon University in the Sweet Sixteen.

Originally, the Hoosiers weren’t in line to receive a top16 seed at the conclusion of a regular season that saw them post an 8-3-6 record and come up fourth in the Big Ten stand ings. A deep run to the Big Ten Tournament Final, including wins over Penn State and regu lar-season champion Maryland, ultimately boosted Indiana’s re sume enough.

Heading into the tourna ment, Indiana’s RPI jumped up to No. 20 nationally, which es sentially made the chances of securing a top-16 seed uncer tain. Ultimately, the Hoosiers’ results against top-quality sides favored them over other hope fuls in the committee’s seletion.

Against other tournament teams outside the Big Ten, Indi ana’s results were mixed.

A 3-2 loss to Clemson Uni versity, the defending national champion and No. 6 seed in this season’s bracket, on opening day was contested even closer than the final score line. Indiana then drew 3-3 with the Univer sity of Portland, an unseeded team that finished 12-2-3. The Cream and Crimson went on to defeat the University of Akron, then a No. 9 seed and currently the No. 16 seed in the bracket, 2-0 on Sept. 9.

The Hoosiers worst loss came in a 3-0 defeat to the Uni versity of Kentucky Wildcats. Taken into context, though, this loss likely didn’t drop the Hoo siers too far down. The Wildcats recorded a historic unbeaten season, going 14-0-5 and win ning both the regular season and postseason titles in the Sun Belt Conference. They earned the No. 1 overall seed in the bracket.

Another surprising outcome of the bracket selection included fellow Big Ten foe Maryland, which was snubbed from a top16 seed.

The Terrapins posted a 103-5 record overall and went un defeated in Big Ten play with a 4-0-4 mark. The Terrapins’ loss to the Hoosiers in the Big Ten Tournament semifinal dropped them to No. 21 in the RPI stand ings, just one spot below the Hoosiers.

Maryland, Big Ten Tourna ment champion Rutgers and Ohio State rounded out the Big Ten’s representation on the na tional stage.

Indiana’s 36th consecutive NCAA Tournament will start in the second round, and the matchup will take place Sunday at Bill Armstrong Stadium. Nei ther a time nor broadcast has been announced.
