FAQs about COVID-19 bivalent booster

By Joey Sills sillsj@iu.edu

njscharf@iu.edu | @nadiaascharf

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention considers someone being up to date on their COVID-19 vaccines as those who have received their primary vaccination series and the most recent booster dose recommended for their age group. For most Americans, the most recent booster dose is the bivalent booster vaccine authorized by the Food and Drug Administration on Aug. 31.

Simply put, with this new dose, those 18 and older are considered up to date after they’ve received both their primary vaccination series and their updated bivalent booster — the same is recommended for children aged 5 to 17, according to the CDC. The original booster doses are no longer necessary for those who haven’t yet received them, though the CDC recommends those who have still receive the bivalent vaccine.

What is the bivalent COVID-19 vaccine?

COURTESY OF IU NEWSROOM

A COVID-19 vaccine is administered to a patient April 6, 2021, at the IUPUI Campus Center clinic. Experts recommend getting a bivalent booster in anticipation of new Omicron subvariants with the coming winter.

The FDA recommended the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna bivalent COVID-19 vaccine as a singledose booster shot to be administered at least two months following the primary vaccination series or previous booster vaccination. On Oct. 12, the FDA

extended this authorization to children ages 5 to 11.

According to the FDA, the bivalent vaccines include components of both the original COVID-19 strain and the Omicron variant to provide the highest possible protection against the virus. Hence, the suffix “bi” in “bivalent” refers to the fact it includes protection against these two different strains.

“It’s just more specific to those strains and theoretically should work a bit better on something that looks like those,” Aaron Carroll, IU’s chief health officer, said.

How many Americans have received the bivalent vaccine?

Data from the CDC shows that only about 10.1%

of eligible Americans have received an updated booster shot, compared to 68.6% who have completed their primary series. According to the Indiana State Department of Health, 8.9% of Indiana residents are up to date on their vaccine series, which includes the bivalent vaccine.

However, as many as one in five Americans have not heard of the updated bivalent boosters, according to a survey published Sept.

30 from the Kaiser Family Foundation. Carroll said this is in part due to “COVID fatigue” — the idea that many Americans are simply tired of the pandemic and news surrounding it.

MEN'S SOCCER

No. 13 Indiana advances to Elite Eight

By Kamil Gut

kgut@iu.edu | @GutKamil

Junior defender Joey Maher joyfully wrapped his arms around a pair of younger teammates at the sound of the full-time whistle. The group shared in celebration, but only Maher could feel and truly understand the result’s added significance.

In its first-ever meeting 559 days ago, Indiana men’s soccer and Marshall University capped off a one-of-akind shortened spring season with everything on the line in the College Cup Final. Fate didn’t favor the Hoosiers, who watched the Thundering Herd snatch the national championship away with an overtime winner.

Most of that Indiana squad from the matchup on May 17, 2021, including Maher and the rest of the starters on the back line, have lived with the disappointment of the result and moved forward on more quests for the program’s ninth star. On Sunday, the Hoosiers took a major step in the recovery process.

With its fans in attendance for the final time at Bill Armstrong Stadium this season, Indiana enacted revenge on Marshall with a 1-0 win in the Sweet 16. Now, the Hoosiers

are into the Elite Eight and just three wins away from completing the daunting climb back to the top of college soccer.

“The students and the town came out tonight,” Yeagley said. “You could feel the energy of the crowd feeding our team.”

Attacking talent was spread throughout both ends of the pitch, but the defensive stability of both sides made scoring a challenge. The Hoosiers dominated possession for long periods of the rematch, keeping the Thundering Herds’ potent forwards less comfortable and effective.

The opening goal proved to be all the Hoosiers needed, and it came through the manipulation of the tactical advantage they had in the set piece department. The Hoosiers earned 13 total corners to the Thundering Herds’ lonely one, piling on the pressure throughout the first half without reaping the reward.

Using the halftime break to their advantage, the Hoosiers made sure they’d capitalize if similar opportunities came.

“The guys took ownership, they made an adjustment at half,” Yeagley said.

“We changed our runs. That’s when you love it, when the guys are solving things.”

OLIVIA BIANCO

Junior Defender Joey Maher awaits an inbound corner kick during a game against Marshall University on Nov. 27, 2022, at Bill Armstrong Stadium. The Hoosiers will advance to the Elite Eight for the fourth time in six seasons.

Senior defender Brett Bebej was the beneficiary. After beating his man with a run through the 18-yard box, Bebej rose high at the far post to head an inswinging corner kick into the back of the net in the 47th minute.

With that moment came elation, relief and a towering pile of crimson jerseys wrapped around each other at the corner flag.

“That’s one of the greatest moments of my career, I’m at a loss of words,” Bebej said. “Coach usually puts me around the back of the box. I kind of just attacked it.” Both before and after the deciding goal, Indiana’s attacking shape generated plenty of chances and kept Marshall’s back line working tirelessly.

Even though sophomore

forward Samuel Sarver’s oneon-one shot in the opening minutes trickled just wide of goal, the miss didn’t discourage him. The Hoosiers looked to harness his speed and hightempo playstyle to punish the Thundering Herd in transition, but the same qualities made the difference when the team pressed high and won the ball back countless times in deep areas.

“You just don’t want to deal with him,” Yeagley said about Sarver. “He is relentless, and Maouloune (Goumballe) is the same. I don’t want to diminish it to (hard work) — their timing, angles, how they step was really good.”

Yeagley spoke about the Hoosiers’ defense usually

The Monroe County Democratic Party is filing for two election recounts, one for the Indiana House District 62 race and the other for the Benton Township Board Member race, according to a Monroe County Democratic Party press release.

Both recount petitions come from extremely small vote margins in Republicans' favor. In the House District 62 race, Republican Dave Hall won over Democrat Penny Githens by 40 votes, which accounts for under 1% of the vote. In the Benton Township Board election, Republican Jake Dodds defeated incumbent Democrat Hans Kelson by four votes.

Monroe County Democratic Chair David Henry announced in the press release he'll file a recount petition for the District 62 race at the Indiana Election

Division before the Indiana Recount Commission in Indianapolis by today’s noon deadline. On Nov. 23, he filed a petition for a hand recount of Benton Precincts 1 and 2 at the Monroe County Courthouse where, following Indiana state law, the county circuit court will consider the petition and, if a recount is granted, will appoint a recount commission.

“Never doubt that your vote matters,” Henry said in the press release for the Benton Township recount petition. “In a race that tightened up during canvassing and certification to a four-vote margin, I am certain that if the situation were reversed that any party would seek a recount on behalf of their candidate. The Monroe County Democratic Party simply seeks to make the list and check it twice to assure every lawfully-cast vote was counted in such a closely contested election.”

Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton announces he will not run for reelection in 2023

njscharf@iu.edu | @nadiaascharf

Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton announced that he will not be running for reelection in 2023 in a YouTube video sent out in an email from Andrew Krebbs, communications director for the office of the mayor, on Thursday afternoon.

“Thank you for the privilege of serving as your Mayor," the announcement said.

“I look forward to continuing to move our great community forward together.”

Hamilton said serving two terms and eight years as mayor “felt right.” He said he made the decision not to run again based on what he believed to be the right choice for his family and their future.

“It's a hard decision,” Hamilton said in the video.

“I'm really excited about what's going on in Bloomington and our future, and

there's so much more to come.”

In the announcement, Hamilton thanked friends, supporters and colleagues.

Hamilton has been in office since January 2016.

In the announcement, he cited recent Bloomington accomplishments, including the creation of longterm affordable housing, increased digital access and rising average wages.

The mayor's website cites a commitment to improving quality of life and a focus on sustainability and inclusivity.

"We're kind of in the fourth quarter of the game, and a lot of really good things can happen in the fourth quarter of a game, so I look forward to continued work on that," Hamilton said in the video. "I'm so excited about where Bloomington is we've raised the bar. We're ready to move forward well into the future."

Indiana Sen. Mike Braun filed paperwork Wednesday to run for governor of Indiana in 2024.

Braun has served as Indiana senator since 2019 after he defeated Todd Rokita and Luke Messer in the Republican primary and unseated incumbent Democrat Joe Donnelly. Prior to that he represented the 63rd district in the Indiana House of Representatives.

Current governor Eric Holcomb is not eligible to run for governor in 2024 because the term limits in

Bloomington's 7 Day Forecast

Indiana only allow governors to serve for eight years out of a twelve-year period.

He will be eligible to run again in 2028.

Braun’s legislative interests as U.S. Senator include protecting the Second Amendment, securing the border and lowering government spending.

Braun’s first term in the senate will end in 2024, and his candidacy for governor will allow other republicans to run for the seat.

Republican Eric Doden, a businessman from Fort Wayne, has also declared his candidacy for governor.

Indiana spends $4 billion on untreated mental health yearly

By Kathleen Tran trankat@iu.edu

An analysis published by the Indiana Behavioral Health Commission shows untreated mental health conditions cost Indiana nearly $4.2 billion per year.

“Without understanding the full economic impact of untreated mental illness and where societal costs accrue, it is difficult for policy leaders and decision-makers to know where best to target interventions and allocate limited resources and funding,” Heather Taylor, health services researcher from the Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health, said.

The Indiana Behavioral Health Commission was developed in 2020 by the Indiana General Assembly.

One of its goals was to determine the cost of untreated mental health issues in the state, so a research team was created. This included Taylor, Justin Blackburn, Ph.D. program director in health policy and management, and other experts from the Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, Irsay Institute and WISE Indiana.

“This research was important because untreated mental illness is a major public health challenge and more attention is needed to understand barriers to access and the consequences of inadequate treatment,” Blackburn said. “We wanted to better understand the economic consequences, which is something no one has ever done before.”

The report showed productivity losses were estimated to cost $885 million

each year. Direct health care such as Medicaid and private insurers costs nearly $708 million, direct nonhealth care which includes Indiana’s criminal justice system and homeless supports costs around $115 million, and indirect costs like caregiving and unemployment for those unable to work costs approximately $973 million.

“I knew things like the

incarceration system and stuff like that were flawed, but I didn’t realize how much money we were losing because of the lack of recognizing or lack of awareness of mental health issues,” Lauren Baumgardner, an IU O’Neill School freshman, said.

In the full report from the Indiana Behavioral Health Commission, many recommendations are pro-

vided, one of them being an implementation of a threepart model for those experiencing a mental health crisis. The model includes having someone to contact, someone to respond and a safe place for the person to seek help.

“IU students and all Hoosiers should be aware of the new 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline,” Blackburn said.

“This is an alternative to 911,

which may be stigmatizing for people since it could involve law enforcement.”

Other resources that can be utilized are available in the Counseling and Psychological Services. It is located on the fourth floor of the Student Health Center and is open from Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. IU students who paid the student health fee receive two free CAPS ses-

sions along with first-time clients receiving an additional free, 30-minute assessment. They also offer online workshops that teach students strategies to navigate stress, depression and anxiety.

“We hope this work brings attention to the cost of inaction relative to the investments in improving mental health access to treatment,” Blackburn said.

Despite signs, IU hasn’t composted since the pandemic Sigma Phi

By Jacob Lubarsky jarlubar@iu.edu

IU-Bloomington's campus has stopped composting since the pandemic started in April 2020, after Green Earth Composting, a large local compost processing company, shut down. Despite signage that indicates IU still composts, Sustain IU says there are no definitive plans to continue composting currently.

When Green Earth owner Kevin Huntley died in January, the company permanently closed its doors, leaving IU limited options for composting, according to Sustain IU intern and EarthKeepers washer McKenna Conway. Green Earth provided both transportation and processing for compost, whereas EarthKeepers, the last remaining composting facility in Bloomington, only has a processor for composting and no transportation options. Now, IU is sending its compost to a local junkyard, according to Sustain IU. IU’s current challenges for returning to composting include configuring how much organic matter the campus produces and whether such a volume can be contained with Earthkeepers. Sustain IU agrees no matter what option IU chooses to resume composting, it will require immense funding and time.

Anisa Valenzuela, the sustainability specialist for Sustain IU, said when IU tries to transition back to composting, the campus will start with back of house

composting. This means IU will start small, composting foods in kitchens and food preparation areas. Size and contamination are issues both Sustain IU and EarthKeepers have acknowledged as an immense problem for composting in the past.

“Whatever we do, it will be gradual,” Valenzuela said.

McKenna agrees a route to return to composting will pose several obstacles but acknowledges that Sustain

IU is actively working towards solutions.

“It’s really just a matter of logistics and funding, like figuring out what is the best financial option for IU,” McKenna said. “IU just doesn’t have the means right now to send the food anywhere but landfill. But we’re working on that and that is a huge goal of Sustain IU to get that up and running again.”

EarthKeepers CEO An-

drea Conway and COO Ryan Conway agree this will be a long, carefully executed process.

“We believe in program structures that actively anticipate user needs and behaviors, which take time to properly build, test, retest, and calibrate,” Andrea and Ryan said in an email. “We understand is that this reboot of IU composting will start low and slow, proceeding at a pace of sustainable

success for all parties involved.”

Both said they have acknowledged that IU has attempted to compost in the past, but between the overload and contamination of trash, it was simply too difficult for EarthKeepers to operate.

“A critical yet common error in pushing for largescale composting programs is neglecting extensive front-loading of education, incentive, and enforcement around contamination,” they said in an email. “Contamination destroys compost programs and recycling programs.”

But despite IU’s lack of composting, the Indiana Memorial Union still has “Compost” signs under trash cans in the building.

Sustain IU said it would simply be too inconvenient to keep the signs plastered, especially with staffing shortages in IU Residential Programs and Services.

Valenzuela claims that if the signs are removed, the paint on the wall will simultaneously be removed, thus discouraging staff to remove such signs.

While Venezuela is unsure if composting will be back at IU by the end of the academic year, she said she is optimistic it will make a return in the near future.

“I like the analogy that says: a big institution like this is like a huge oil tanker; in the near term, it may move just a few centimeters, but in the long run, it really changes the course,” Valenzuela said. “Slowly and surely, we’ll get there.”

Epsilon is on cease and desist

By Carter DeJong cadejong@iu.edu | @dejong_carter

The IU chapter of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity was placed on cease and desist Tuesday for hazing. This is the second time this semester that the fraternity has been placed on this disciplinary measure.

In September, they were placed on cease and desist for endangering others and alcohol.

Sigma Phi Epsilon was already on disciplinary probation effective until Dec. 15 for hazing and endangering others, according to the list of organizations on disciplinary status.

There are currently three IU fraternities on cease and desist, according to IU’s list of organizations on disciplinary status. Theta Chi was placed on cease and desist for hazing, and Sigma Alpha Mu for endangering others and alcohol.

Cease and desist is an interim measure placed upon certain aspects of chapter operations when there is an immediate threat or ongoing investigation, according to IU’s definitions of disciplinary statuses. All organizational activities are suspended while a chapter is on cease and desist.

GENTRY JUDGES

Even during finals season, romanticize the holidays

ILLUSTRATION BY JULIETTE ALBERT

Gentry Keener (she/her)

is a sophomore studying journalism and political science.

As little kids, we see the world through a different, more magical lens – especially around the holidays.

The Christmas lights shine a little brighter, the snow sparkles a little more and the cookies smell a little stronger.

As we get older, it is easy to miss the holiday magic.

The snow is suddenly colder and many of us don’t rush out to build a snowman anymore. Christmas morning doesn’t keep us awake the night before from excitement. Finals take over the

joy of the holiday season and instead of watching a Christmas movie, we stay up all night reading our notes from class.

It’s easy to get lost in the motions of life, forgetting to make an effort to get into the holiday spirit.

If you expect the holiday spirit to rush through your body the second it turns Dec. 1, I hate to be the one to tell you that this isn’t a Hallmark movie. That does not mean all hope is lost, though.

Hopefully this guide will help you find the lost holiday spirit.

First and most important, romanticize every aspect of the next month before

Christmas, Hanukkah and all other holidays that come and go.

What was always the most important part of a perfect Christmas morning?

Snow.

Although it hasn’t snowed much here in Indiana, take every chance to enjoy the cold weather. Wear a cozy sweater or a big puffy coat. Watch the snow fall through your window from the comfort of a blanket. To make it even cozier, light a candle that smells like peppermint or some pine trees, so the aroma fills the room.

What’s your favorite holiday tradition? Ice skating?

Cookie making? Ginger-

bread houses?

Grab your roommates and drive up to Carmel for a fun night of ice skating at The Ice at Carter Green. Gather your friends for a night of cookie making and decorating. Make some sugar cookies shaped like gingerbread men or snowflakes and decorate them however your heart desires. Run to Target and grab a small gingerbread village making kit and spend the evening with your roommates or friends getting into the holiday spirit.

What was your favorite movie to watch around the holidays?

Cozy up on a Friday night and watch “Elf” or whatever

movie reminds you of your childhood. Put on your favorite pajamas and settle in on the couch – maybe even with your freshly baked Christmas cookies!

I think you’re starting to get my point.

There are so many ways to make the holidays feel like you are seeing the world through a little kid's eyes.

If this is your first year away from home and your family, it can be even more difficult. I know personally, it doesn’t feel like Christmas until my brothers and I have spent a night watching “A Christmas Story,” and my mom and I have wasted a day away doing puzzles

is a sophomore majoring in media studies focusing in TV, film and digital production with a minor in English.

Throughout my life, there have been moments where I have witnessed a person looked down upon because of their lifestyle or judged because of their perceived status. Maybe their house was smaller or their furniture was older.

This has shown me there’s a lack of empathy in America because of certain expectations that one has to overcome adversities they face.

Recently, I listened to a podcast titled “What We Gain From Pain” by Dr. Jayawickreme. This episode talks about the American mentality that adversity is an opportunity for growth.

I agree that struggles can make someone stronger, but Dr. Jayawickreme highlights the negative trend in America that anyone who is unable to overcome their adversity is seen as someone who has failed.

In American culture, such examples can be seen in pop culture ravings such as superhero movies. The “superhero trope” is defined by the podcast as an American mentality shaped

by stories involving someone with a weakness who is inevitably made a hero because they overcome it. Overcoming adversity can allow someone to stay afloat, but those who can’t overcome it are rarely taken into account.

In 2021, it was reported that 11.6% of Americans were impoverished. In other words, 37.9 million people in America are seen as living below the poverty line.

These statistics reflect that, in reality, overcoming one’s financial adversity is not that easy. And the expectation that they should is toxic. Most people face situations out of their control.

Examples include being diagnosed with a chronic illness or being born into an already financially unstable household.

A lack of education is one aspect of America where not many people are given sufficient tools to “make the most” out of their living conditions. In 2020, it was reported that only 37.9% of Americans 25 and older have graduated from college or another higher education program. Schooling not only offers an education but also programs that takes care of kids while

the parents are at work, or with the higher levels like college, offer internships or connections to jobs for when someone graduates.

Some people simply do not have the same access to higher paying jobs or knowledge of how to find them that inhibits their ability to “rise above” where they are.

It’s as though superhero movies that infiltrate our world hold a certain standard that, in reality, not everyone can live up to. Just think, what if Bruce Wayne never overcame his fear of bats? Or if Clark Kent never overcame his weakness of kryptonite? Just because one cannot overcome an adversity does not mean they are less of a person.

I hope that people can begin to increase their empathy for those who do not have the same access to what they have. Also, people need to recognize that others are not defined by their financial income or ability to overcome it. Furthermore, I hope that America can move to being a more empathetic country and we can help one another with struggles faced throughout our lives. caremars@iu.edu

Todd Young was not the right choice for Indiana

Family is the centerpiece of the holiday season, so being far away can feel isolating. Take the time to do things that remind you of home. I am a strong believer that it makes finals season a little less stressful and the holiday season a lot more enjoyable.

It may not happen as naturally as it used to when we were young. But taking a few extra moments and incorporating a few small details might just help you start to see the magic of the holiday seasons come back.

IDS FILE PHOTO BY MATT BEGALA

Sen. Mike Braun, R-Ind., Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb and Sen. Todd Young, R-Ind., laugh together during Braun’s victory speech Nov. 6, 2018, at the JW Marriott in Indianapolis. .

Owen Darland (he/him)

is a freshman studying international studies.

When Sen. Todd Young isn’t toting around large guns with Oath Keeper members, he sits in Washington with Hoosiers, especially Hoosier women, in the back of his mind.

Todd Young sees women as second-class citizens.

This is seen in his lack of support for a woman’s right to choose. According to the 2016 Indiana Right to Life poll, Young indicated he supported a total ban on abortion with no exceptions for rape, incest or the life of the mother.

This is the primary point where Hoosiers and Young don’t see eye to eye. A 2019 study conducted by Ball State University reported that only 19% of Hoosiers support a total ban on abortion with no exceptions for rape, incest or the life of the mother. This number is nowhere near the majority; however, this is not a deterrent for Young.

The second group he fails to consider is Hoosiers with diabetes. Roughly

650,000 Hoosiers suffer from diabetes.

“For the uninsured and those with poor coverage, a month’s worth of insulin can cost, on average, $1,000 or more,” Dr. Adam Gaffney, a critical care at the Cambridge Health Alliance in Massachusetts said in an NBC News article.

In the Senate, Young had an opportunity to vote for the Inflation Reduction Act which would have capped insulin prices to $35 a month. However, it wasn’t in his best interest to vote for it. This is because it would be far less profitable to do so.

According to OpenSecrets data presented in an IndyStar article, Young has received more than 30,000 dollars in lobbying funds from various sources within Eli Lilly.

This shows Young would much rather respond to the pharmaceutical and insurance lobbies that donated roughly $1 million to his campaign than his constituents suffering from diabetes. I’d like to add, the patent for insulin was sold for $1 so that people could be

saved, not milked for every last dollar they have.

A group Young claims to represent are veterans much like himself.

“In the marine core, we are taught to put America above ourselves,” he said in one of his campaign ads.

You would think that a former marine would at least help those who served. Well, you would be incorrect. Earlier this year, Young voted against the Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act which aimed to support veterans that served in the War on Terror, by helping those who served neartoxic burn pits get easier access to the Department of Veterans Affairs. The legislation will also streamline getting disability payments as a result of toxic burn pits.

Young said, according to a 13News article, that he is committed to getting veterans easier access to care; however, there are still issues for those with disabilities.

The article also stated that more than 70% of disability claims made to the VA are denied due to a lack of evidence, scientific data or information from the Defense Department.

The article also said, despite being a veteran himself, Young still voted to strike this one down due to a small clause that had to do with the budgetary measures in the bill. So much for being representative of your fellow veterans.

At the end of the day, Young is elected to represent both you and me.

However, given his history, I believe that he has done far from that and, in fact, has done quite the opposite. odarland@iu.edu

» COVID-19

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 people in lots of places in the country, including Indiana,” Carroll said.

Carroll said those who are at lower risk for major complications from COVID-19 are less likely to be persuaded by the current individualistic public health messaging. Instead, he argues for an approach to messaging centered on the protection of the community rather than the individual.

“That kind of broad messaging might resonate and work better and would feel more natural,” he said. “Nobody gets the polio vaccine because they think they’re going to get polio. We all get the polio vaccine because we know if everybody does it, we don’t have polio, and that’s the kind of broad communal messaging I think might work better.”

Graham McKeen, IU’s director of public and environmental health, agreed the hesitancy to vaccinate could be attributed to pandemic fatigue, but he also placed some blame on what

he said was confusing communication from organizations like the CDC. “There are times where I’ve had to sit down with some newly released guidance and go through it and map it out,” he said. “If I’m having to do that, and I’m having that much trouble understanding what they’re trying to communicate to everybody else, then I can’t imagine what the general public is thinking.”

Will there be more booster shots in the future?

Top infectious disease experts, such as Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, have suggested the COVID-19 vaccine could become an annual vaccine similar to that of the annual flu shot.

“That’s a really possible, if not likely, outcome,” Carroll said. “If it turns out this becomes seasonal, like we have winter spikes like we do with the flu, then come August, September of each year, they roll out a new shot.”

McKeen went a step

further and suggested we could theoretically see a new COVID-19 shot as often as every six months because of the ever-changing nature of the virus, but he said many Americans just wouldn’t want to get a shot that often.

“It is so genetically divergent from where it was a year ago, and so it seems to mutate faster than some of these influenza viruses that we see,” he said. “That doesn’t bode well for us, and I don’t think people want to get shots every three to six months.”

What about the new Omicron subvariants?

In a weekly report published Oct. 21, the CDC detailed the two new Omicron subvariants, BQ.1 and BQ.1.1, which it describes as “grandchildren” of the dominant BA.5 strain. Data shows the two subvariants “seem to be spreading relatively quickly so far,” but the CDC notes they make up only a small proportion of cases.

Carroll said he anticipates an increase in COVID-19 cases as it gets closer

to winter, but it’s difficult to tell now whether such an increase would look like the Omicron wave earlier this year or relatively minor in comparison.

“In a bad flu season, maybe we see a hundredish deaths a day — we’re still seeing way more than that with COVID,” he said.

“Even if it increases, that’s concerning. The question is, will it achieve omicron or previous wave levels, or will it just look like a bad flu season. We just don’t know.”

Where can I get the updated booster in Bloomington?

In Bloomington, one can receive the bivalent vaccine at various CVS and Kroger Pharmacy locations, Walmart and Sam’s Club as well as at the Monroe County Public Health Clinic, IU Health Bloomington Outpatient Pharmacy and Genoa Healthcare, according to the CDC. Students, staff and faculty can also make an appointment with the IU Student Health Center to receive the Pfizer primaryseries or booster vaccine.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 building out of the back and helping the attack transition up the pitch to score goals this season. That wasn’t the case in Sunday’s match, though, as their team pressing and forwards’ attitude when hunting the ball forced the Thundering Herd to concentrate more so on not losing possession than their own attacking ambitions.

“It’s not a front three that’s just pressing together,” Maher said. “It’s eleven men defending and working together, organizationally sound. That’s something that’s special with our front guys and their pressing: their willingness and desire to do anything it takes.”

With time against them and left with little options otherwise, the Thundering Herd exposed themselves defensively and made a determined effort toward equalizing. Their quality up front meant chances were inevitable, but the Hoosiers remained composed and allowed little to nothing from close range.

Though he wasn’t tested as often, junior goalkeeper JT Harms made two crucial saves and ultimately earned another clean sheet. He’s now helped the team get back-to-back shutouts to start its NCAA Tournament run.

For Yeagley, the difference between that painful night two seasons ago and Sunday’s result comes down to the growth the entire veteran core has gone through in that time. With experience on their side, the Hoosiers are once again so close to turning their dreams into reality.

“Those guys that played in that game, I look at the improvements they made,” Yeagley said. “Look at Ryan Wittenbrink, what type of player he is today.”

Next up, No. 13 seed Indiana will face No. 12 seed University of North Carolina Greensboro in the Elite Eight on either Friday or Saturday in Greensboro, North Carolina, with a trip to the College Cup on the line.

“We’re dancing,” Bebej said. “The team is ready, we’re ready for the next challenge.”

The education of a freshman

How freshman navigate the transition into the “best years of their lives” and the Red Zone.

By Kayla Pallotto kpallott@iu.edu

Editor’s Note: This story includes mention of sexual assault.

The freshmen women on floor seven of Harper Hall in Foster Quad learned a lot before they sat through their first college lecture.

They learned that a knot forms in their stomach after move-in day. When their parents finish hauling everything into their dorm room and then say goodbye and shut the door, they will probably cry. They learned what it was like to have a panic attack on the first night. They learned ways to fight the loneliness — to keep their door open, to be friendly and to search Snapchat to find other freshmen to hang out with.

During the blur of Welcome Week, the women of floor seven spoke in the lounge past midnight and found out which of them smoked weed, who drank, what their summer flings had been like and who their favorite Kardashian was. They went to their first house parties and learned the power of the right song, at the right moment, with the right group of new friends. When Baby Keem and Kendrick Lamar’s “Family Ties” played, they discovered they could actually feel at home at IU, even if it was only for four minutes and 12 seconds.

Ilana Felix was sitting in her room when she heard two of her floor mates stumbling down the hallway. The sound of their shoes dragging across the floor as they hobbled door to door looking for help. When they came to Ilana’s open door and saw her sitting on the bed, they beelined toward her with tear-streaked faces.

“Ilana!” she recalls they said, collapsing into her lap.

“You won’t believe what happened.”

The two of them had

returned from a party at Briscoe Quad. Between dry heaves and sobs, one of the women explained to Ilana how she got drunk. When one of the friends stepped away to find her Crimson Card, another freshman tried to make a move on her.

“Come back with me,” she recalled him saying. “Let’s go to my room.”

She didn’t want to go, but he wouldn’t listen. He tried to feel her up. She said she was assaulted.

Ilana listened to her floormate speak and the room went still. The sexual assault had already happened. She couldn’t change that. She rubbed their backs and tried to think of something to say.

“You’re safe now,” Ilana recalls telling them, hoping they believed her. “You can

take a shower if you want. It’s over.”

But it wasn’t over. It was only August.

In those very first days, before classes started, Ilana had to learn how to comfort a person going through a life-altering trauma — a lesson freshmen women were already learning.

••• The first few months of freshman year are notoriously challenging. A cloud of expectations hang overhead: It’s the best four years, former graduates say, and it has to be so fun, so exciting, so perfect. But it’s messy, confusing and overwhelming. It feels like a beginning and an ending simultaneously. It feels like getting lost and being

found, over and over again.

But amid self-discovery, freshmen students also discover the risk of sexual violence on campus. According to the Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network, over 50% of sexual assaults taking place on college campuses occur from a period stretching from August to Thanksgiving break — a period known as the “Red Zone.”

The Indiana Daily Student followed four freshman women on floor seven of Foster Harper for three months as they navigated college, partying and the Red Zone for the first time. That floor cushioned their fall into the Red Zone with strength in numbers.

“We came into this going, if one of us is going out, then we both should be going out,”

freshman Aislinn Ahearn said about her and her roommate Gaby Kovac.

Freshmen, particularly women, quickly learn a reality far more harrowing than IU’s low sexual assault statistics suggest. Many sexual assaults go unreported, as the Brennan Center for Justice estimated 80% of women who are assaulted don’t inform police. Many young women don’t inform police due to wanting to avoid reliving trauma and out of fear of not being listened to.

Ilana knows a different story than the reported numbers tell. Women in sororities know this different story.

Many women on and off campus do.

Last year, the number of sexual assault cases during the fall semester caused the

IU Panhellenic Association to institute a suspension on all fraternity parties and paired events until the spring. Greek life started this year with new guidelines for increased safety at parties as a result.

This all looms overhead while freshmen learn how to live on their own, make major decisions and figure out what they want to do with the of their rest of their lives.

‘It’s the little things’: The reality of being queer at IU

By Emma Herwehe

eherwehe@iu.edu | @EmmaHerwehe

An older man with white hair and a wrinkled face walks by the fold-out table where Zsofia Leary is sitting on the second floor of the O’Neill SPEA building.

It’s just after noon on a rainy Wednesday, and Leary has been sitting at the table since 9 a.m. She skipped her first class, Using IT in Public Affairs, to sit at the table. She plans to for at least another hour. She’s promoting a meeting about an important cause — one worth missing class for: equity and inclusion at IU. On the table, homemade and store-bought cookies, flyers and a sign-up sheet are neatly organized, aligned with the table’s front edge.

Store-bought sugar, M&M and oatmeal raisin cookies are arranged in a large black plastic container.

Beside it, homemade chocolate chip cookies sit in a round clear plastic container. Leary was up until 2 a.m. making them.

Yellow, pink, blue and purple pens sit idlily next to the sign-up sheet.

The man glares down at the table and continues to walk.

“Hi!” Leary says enthusiastically.

He looks back, gives a smirk and a wave, and then turns around and continues to walk.

••• On Aug. 24, IU was named one of the “Best of the Best” LGBTQ-friendly colleges. The next day, members of the Queer Student Union were called slurs at the Fall Involvement Fair.

“While it’s safe, in a sense, you’re really only safe at the Culture Center or at a QSU event or whatever organization that may be,” Chloé Diaz, IU junior and former QSU president, said.

Incidents like these are not rare. Queer students

at IU say there needs to be improvement in the acceptance and celebration of the LGBTQ community on campus. Small instances of homophobia like stares and whispers are common, and large instances such as being called slurs or attacked are not out of the picture.

The reputation of IU being safe for queer students is not accurate to the reality, Diaz said. They said the experiences and lives of queer students are being “invalidated and erased.”

“IU does not make IU safe for queer students,” Diaz said. “Queer students make campus safer for other queer students.”

••• Leary, 19 and an IU sophomore, identifies as lesbian, and she has been out

for three years. She’s lived in Bloomington her whole life.

Coming to IU, Leary felt as if she could break out of the mold high school forced her into. Doing so has been met with stares, assumptions and comments.

“People sometimes look at me, or look at my sexuality, and judge me and assume that I’m a certain way or even that I’m not smart or capable,” she said.

She wears a grey bracelet with pink, white, orange and red beads, representing the colors in the lesbian flag. It sits on her wrist next to a rainbow beaded bracelet bearing her name and another one that spells out “pride.”

Taylor Swift was her first celebrity crush, despite Leary trying to convince herself she liked guys back

then. She started dating her first girlfriend during her sophomore year of high school and used their relationship as a way to come out to their friends.

The adviser of her high school’s pride club was scared to come out as bisexual in fear of being fired.

Leary said the advisor did end up being fired, though it was presented as if she quit.

That’s why Leary decided to major in law and public policy.

Leary is also minoring in music. She has always been involved in some form of music in her life, using it to help cope with mental health lows. Now, she’s an assistant director for the IU Children’s Choir and has a few original songs out on Spotify.

“You can express so

much with music, and let out all your emotions,” Leary said.

At IU, she is on the Advocacy Committee within the Queer Student Union and is a board member for the Students for Equity in Public Affairs. She lives at The Monroe with her dog, Marley.

Growing up, she lived with just her mother, who moved to the U.S. from Hungary for graduate school.

Leary started college as a commuter student only to leave her home in the middle of her freshman year after her living situation worsened. Her relationship with her mom “deteriorated,” she said. Leary’s father lives in California and was not around.

“I was putting myself through college in a way,” Leary said.

Leary’s mother holds traditional European values.

Not necessarily conservative by American definition, Leary described, but not inclusive either. Leary remembers her mother making comments about people being gay; she was confused about “why people would do that.”

“When I was first thinking about how I might not be straight, it was really scary because I was terrified that my friends wouldn’t understand,” Leary said. “But I was even more terrified that she wouldn’t.”

Within the QSU, Leary finds solace in being surrounded by other queeridentifying students. She has some lifelong friendships from her childhood she still holds close, but the majority of her friends are straight, so they can’t understand everything she experiences.

“Luckily enough, my friends ended up being super supportive of me,” Leary said. “All of them.”

IU sophomore Emery James and Leary have been friends since second grade.

She remembers Leary dealing with a lot of instances of homophobia from those close to her. She said Leary was always lifting people up, even during the toughest times in both of their lives.

James describes Leary as “the sun,” the brightest person one will ever meet.

“Even if you don’t know her, if you’re just seeing her on the street, you can tell that is someone who is just so bright to be around,” James said.

MEN’S AND WOMEN’S SWIM AND DIVE

Indiana takes second place at Ohio State Invitational

By Nick Rodecap

nrodecap@iu.edu | @nickrodecap

The Indiana men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams both finished as runners-up in the 14-team Ohio State Invitational meet in Columbus. The meet ran over three days and wrapped up on Saturday evening.

On the men’s side, Indiana split the victorious Ohio State Buckeyes and the thirdplace University of Notre Dame Fighting Irish on the podium. The women were in between the Buckeyes — who swept the competition — and the University of Kentucky Wildcats.

The first Indiana program record of the weekend was set by sophomore Anna Peplowski, senior Ashley Turak, junior Elizabeth Broshears and freshman Kristina Paegle in the 200 free relay. Their time of 1:27.75 put them at the top of the charts to close out the women’s competition on night one.

The final day of action was highlighted by the women’s 400 free relay team of Anna Peplowski, Turak, junior Ella Ristic and Paegle setting another program record with a time of 3:13.45, good enough for first place in the event. They defeated the Ohio State relay team by just 0.16 seconds.

It was a good weekend overall for the Peplowskis.

Anna continued her strong season with three individual wins to add to her contribution to the relay record and her win total was the highest of any women’s swimmer in the meet. Noelle had two individual wins of her own as the senior put up a time of 2:05.52 in the 200 yard breaststroke preliminary, an NCAA A-cut that puts her

second all-time on the Indiana leaderboard behind only Olympian Lilly King.

Peplowski also set a new personal best by nearly a second and automatically qualified for the national meet, as do all individual A-cut times.

Women’s distance swimmers Ching Gan and Mariah Denigan also had strong showings. The sophomore and freshman finished first and second in the mile freestyle race and were separated by just over three seconds.

Gan and Denigan also took second and third in the 500 free, with sophomore Elyse

Heiser rounding out the top five.

The men saw strong performances from senior Brendan Burns, junior Tomer Frankel and sophomores Rafa Miroslaw and Josh Matheny. Burns won the 100 back and 200 back and was the catalyst for the 400 medley relay team with Matheny, Frankel and Miroslaw, which set a blistering time of 3:03.98 to earn a two-second victory over the field. Miroslaw also dominated the freestyle leg of the 200 medley relay and the 200 free, touching the wall first in both events.

Matheny took first place in the 200 breast with a time of 1:51.68, and he was one of three Indiana swimmers in the top four spots in the event. Juniors Jassen Yep and Maxwell Reich finished second and fourth, respectively. Yep also won the 100 yard breast with a time of 52.05.

Divers Quinn Henninger and Carson Tyler continued their fantastic seasons as well. The sophomore duo finished first and second overall and were separated by less than four points. Henninger posted

three dives with scores over 70 points and Tyler did not drop below 64 points on any of his six dives. The duo has dominated the diving depths for the Hoosiers this season and continued that trend this weekend.

Before the meet, the November College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) rankings were released. The Indiana men and women were ranked No. 7 and 10, respectively. Both teams put up numerous NCAA A-cuts and B-cuts and routinely found themselves among

the top finishers in the final rounds of events.

Swimmers like Anna and Noelle Peplowski, Paegle, Gan, Denigan, Burns, Frankel and Miroslaw have established themselves as difference-makers for the Hoosiers while Turak, Ristic, Yep, Reich and Matheny continued to show what they are capable of.

The Hoosiers will return to the Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center on Friday, Dec. 2, to close out the fall season versus the University of Cincinnati. Action begins at 2 p.m.

Members of the Indiana volleyball team celebrate Sept. 28, 2022, at Wilkinson Hall. Indiana defeated Northwestern and No. 5 Ohio State over this past weekend.

Indiana volleyball sweeps weekend with wins over Northwestern, No. 5 Ohio State

By Marnie Sara

mbsara@iu.edu | @marns45

Indiana volleyball beat the odds, winning both of its matches against Big Ten opponents this weekend.

Indiana got its first win Friday evening with a fiveset victory against Northwestern. The Hoosiers then traveled to Ohio State, taking the win from the No. 5 team in the nation on Sunday afternoon to complete the weekend sweep.

For the first time in over 12 years, Indiana has eight Big Ten wins in a single season.

The Hoosiers’ star of the Northwestern match was sophomore setter Camryn Haworth. The team captain collected a triple-double, making her the second player to do so in the Big Ten this season. Alongside Haworth’s career-high of 10 kills, she had 37 assists, 11 digs and a notable seven blocks.

When Indiana’s offense could not push the tempo throughout Friday’s match, the defense picked up the slack. Junior middle blocker Savannah Kjolhede contributed nine blocks in the match to go along with senior libero middle blocker Paula Cerame’s 23 digs.

Collectively, the Hoosiers

blocked the Wildcats 18 times — a season high.

The match came down to the final stages of the fifth set. After an attack error from Northwestern, Indiana led the set 13-11. Wildcat senior middle blocker Desiree Becker responded with a kill, allowing Northwestern to inch toward retaking the lead.

However, Indiana kept its focus as junior outside hitter Morgan Geddes delivered a crucial kill to advance Indiana’s lead to 14-12. With the help of another Northwestern attack error, Indiana found the final point of the set and won the five-set thriller 3-2.

After breaking its fivematch losing streak, Indiana’s mindset shifted to Sunday’s match with No. 5 Ohio State.

Geddes came through for the Hoosiers once again late in the first set, delivering back-to-back kills to level the score 24-24. However, Buckeye senior Adria Powell answered with backto-back kills of her own to win the set.

The Hoosiers won the next two sets by 25-17, giving them the lead of 2-1.

Ohio State had an enormous run of points late in the fourth set, widening its lead to 18-12. Indiana grad-

ually tightened the game but never took control of the set. Ohio State won the fourth match 25-20 to force a fifth set in the Covelli Center.

Late in the fifth set, the Buckeyes came one point away from winning the match, but Indiana rallied back. Junior middle blocker Kaley Rammelsberg denied the Buckeyes their final point by dispatching a necessary kill.

Cerame then transitioned to the service line down 14-13, which sparked a rally that ended in a kill by sophomore middle blocker Savannah Kjoldhede. With the score tied at 14-14, the match came down to the ensuing two rallies.

Sophomore outside hitter Mady Saris earned the final two points of the game in the form of kills. With those plays, the Hoosiers pulled off the upset against the top-five Buckeyes, instilling themselves into Indiana volleyball history.

For the first time in program history, Indiana has beaten two ranked teams on the road in the same season.

Indiana’s record improves to 15-15 after the pair of weekend wins. The team will head home to face Illinois at 5 p.m. Wednesday in Wilkinson Hall.

COLUMN: Implosion in Old Oaken Bucket game proves Indiana football isn’t allowed nice things

By Will Foley

wtfoley@iu.edu | @foles24

Rivalry weekend is a beautiful mess — it wraps up a week of love, kindness and gratitude with 60 minutes of bitterness and competition. However, the losing end is not so fun — add on a serious injury to the future quarterback of the program and your rivals clinching a conference championship berth and said loss becomes gut-wrenching.

This is exactly what Indiana football experienced Saturday evening. The Hoosiers’ 30-16 loss held promise early on, but after sophomore quarterback Dexter Williams II sustained a serious right leg injury with less than a minute remaining in the first quarter, in which the whole team and his family gathered on the field, the team quickly lost momentum and slowly unraveled into a spiral of demise.

The loss is nothing unusual for Indiana in several aspects. Losing is all too familiar, as Indiana’s defeat to Purdue marks its eighth loss of the season. Losing to the in-state rival is also nothing new, as the Boilermakers have won the Bucket in back-to-back seasons and lead the all-time series 76-42-6. And, losing in the fashion Indiana did today is exactly how it lost all season.

While clearly an un-

derdog, Hoosier fans held some hope heading into the matchup, especially after their exhilarating comeback win over Michigan State. When Iowa lost to Nebraska on Friday night, the door was open for Indiana to spite its rival from up north on a macro level — an opportunity to prevent the Boilermakers from their first ever Big Ten championship game.

As Williams and the Hoosiers’ run game picked up where it left off against the Spartans, rushing for 117 yards and earning the lead as the first quarter came to a close, the game was going as well as it could for Indiana. After Williams suffered the gruesome looking injury — which required him to be carted off the field and sent him to a Bloomington hospital — the air was sucked out of Memorial Stadium.

Junior Connor Bazelak took over quarterbacking duties, and flashbacks to Indiana’s seven-game losing streak came to fruition. The Hoosier defense held strong until halftime, but the Boilermakers came out firing in the second half. The force became too much to handle against Indiana’s depleted roster.

In a game which Indiana had control early on, losing the Old Oaken Bucket hurts, but allowing its closest rival

a berth in the Big Ten Title game is salt in the wound. In a basketball-minded state, the Boilermakers have been able to put their football program on the map, while the Hoosiers have become a GPS with no internet connection.

Indiana promptly finished its season with a 4-8 record — a two-win improvement from last season. Multiple Hoosiers, such as Williams and freshman running back Jaylin Lucas, had promising outings and showed the potential to lead Indiana in the future.

Whether that future will be successful is still on the table, as several concerns persisted throughout the season’s entirety and are waiting to be addressed in the offseason.

Indiana has a lot of decisions to make, and it starts all the way at the top. It’s unlikely head coach Tom Allen will have his contract bought out, which is valued at $20 million, but the displeasure of the fanbase doesn’t put it out of the picture.

The offseason is a long way away, however. For now, reminisce on Indiana football’s 2022 season, if you really want to do so.

Cherish the good moments, scoff at the bad and enjoy the feelings experienced before waiting another nine months.

“Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley Most people probably think that “Frankenstein” is solely a Halloween read, but I wholeheartedly disagree. It’s really a tale about loneliness and finding belonging, and winter fits that bill pretty well. Not to mention that part of the story takes place somewhere cold and frigid — the Arctic Ocean — making for some literally chilling imagery.

“Hyperbole and a Half” by Allie Brosh Everyone needs a good laugh, especially if you’ve got a case of the winter blues. Allie Brosh is easily one of the funniest authors I’ve ever read, and her simplistic illustrations work brilliantly to convey her invasive — and hilarious — thoughts.

“The Silver Linings Playbook” by Matthew Quick You may have seen “Silver Linings Playbook” — the film that won Jennifer Lawrence her Oscar for Best Actress in 2013 — but you may not have read the book the movie was adapted from. “The Silver Linings Playbook” gives glimpses of Christmas and snowstorms, but it’s the connection between the two main characters, Pat and Tiffany, that’ll warm your heart and solidify it as a winter favorite.

“Almost, Maine” by John Cariani I’ll be honest: I don’t usually love books that follow a million little vignettes. I like to watch character development, and with a book like this, you don’t get that. But you don’t always need that, right?

Sometimes you just want to briefly pass through someone’s, albeit fictional, life. The short stories are sweet and cute, making for a feelgood winter read.

“The Anthropocene Reviewed” by John Green I love essays more than any other type of writing. It’s a lonely club, though — novels are wildly more popular, and I can’t say I blame anyone for that. This book really is the best of both worlds, though, because we’ve got the young adult novel king — John Green — and his gorgeous collection of essays.

He reviews human-centric inventions, from the Indianapolis 500 to the QWERTY keyboard, on a five-star scale. One of the best books I’ve ever read, hands down.

“It’s Kind of a Funny Story” by Ned Vizzini This one’s for all the students out there who are exhausted from this semester and need some time to reflect this December.

Though it takes some dark turns, “It’s Kind of a Funny Story” still has goofy moments and endearing characters, even throughout his stay in a mental hospital.

“Anna Karenina” by Leo Tolstoy If you’re really going to get into the Russian literary canon, there’s no better time to start than when it’s cold and snowy outside. Plus, if you’re diligent and don’t dwell too much over each sentence, it’s quicker than you think. And who doesn’t want to read about agrarian versus city lifestyle? Star-crossed lovers? Adultery? It’s action-packed, honestly.

“Why We Broke Up” by Daniel Handler You always need to read about a romance or breakup during cuffing season. Either one is fitting, honestly — and this time we’re going with a break-up read, as the title alludes. “Why We Broke Up” lives up to its name: it’s a story of two people, Min and Ed, unexpectedly falling for each other and then falling apart. It’s a bit sad — but not totally heartbreaking — so if that’s what you need, this book’s for you.

COLUMN: Predicting the 2023 Oscars nominations

By Chloe Fulk cdfulk@iu.edu

The Academy Awards are my Super Bowl. Some people spend winter break hunkering down and recovering from the academic stress of the fall semester. Me? I try to watch as many new films as possible so I can carefully select my Oscar predictions.

As of mid-November, I still haven’t seen quite a few of the big players, as their limited releases haven’t been expanded to rural Indiana. But I don’t think I need to see “The Fabelmans” to know the Academy is going to swoon over it.

The films I think are most likely to be nominated are at the top of each list, whereas the ones I’m less sure about are toward the bottom. For each category, there will also be a wild card pick — a dark horse that I can see swooping in at the last minute to cause an upset — and a few other alternate possibilities.

Best Picture

» “The Fabelmans” » “Everything Everywhere All at Once” » “Women Talking” » “Top Gun: Maverick” » “Babylon” » “The Banshees of Inisherin” » “TAR” » “The Whale” » “Avatar: The Way of Water” » “She Said » Wild cards: “Decision to Leave,” “Pinocchio” and “Bones and All”

In the years since the

Academy expanded the Best Picture category to include 10 nominations, there have been plenty of debates over what films will nab the last few slots. I can easily picture “The Woman King,” “Elvis” or “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” gaining momentum as awards season kicks off, especially because they’re crowd pleasers.

As for what will win, “The Fabelmans” is the obvious choice – it's Steven Spielberg’s life story and his “love letter to cinema.”

But the early front-runners rarely go on to win; just look at “1917” and “The Power of the Dog.” The front-runner in my eyes is “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”

The film defied the odds at the box office and received critical and commercial acclaim.

Best Director

» Steven Spielberg, “The Fabelmans” » Sarah Polley, “Women Talking” » Damien Chazelle, “Babylon” » The Daniels, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” » Todd Field, “TAR” » Wild card: Darren Aronofsky, “The Whale”

Most of the time, the five Best Director slots coincide with the top five Best Picture nominees. I’m including Todd Field because “TAR” is his first film in 15 years and the Academy has recognized his work before. Other possibilities include Martin McDonagh (“Banshees”) and

James Cameron (“Avatar”).

Best Actress

» Cate Blanchett, “TAR” » Danielle Deadwyler, “Till” » Michelle Yeoh, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” » Michelle Williams, “The Fabelmans” » Margot Robbie, “Babylon” » Wild card: Taylor Russell, “Bones and All”

Michelle Williams would win had she been campaigned in the proper category, but now she barely has a chance against such stacked competition.

Blanchett is the clear frontrunner. She’s been nomi-

nated for an acting Oscar six times, winning two of them.

Even a beloved actress like Williams will have difficulty beating her. Other possibilities in this category include Viola Davis (“The Woman King”), Olivia Colman (“Empire of Light”) and Jennifer Lawrence (“Causeway”).

Best Actor » Brendan Fraser, “The Whale” » Colin Farrell, “The Banshees of Inisherin” » Austin Butler, “Elvis” » Diego Calva, “Babylon” » Bill Nighy, “Living” » Wild card: Paul Mescal, “Aftersun”

Fraser is winning, no

doubt. Next!

Best Original Screenplay

» “Everything Everywhere All at Once” » “The Fabelmans” » “The Banshees of Inisherin” » “TAR” » “Babylon” » Wild cards: “Aftersun” and “The Menu”

“Babylon” used to be one of my top picks, but upon seeing some mixed first reactions to the film, I’ve moved it down. I can see it being swapped for “Triangle of Sadness” or “Decision to Leave.”

Best Adapted Screenplay » “Women Talking” » “The Whale” » “Glass Onion” » “She Said” » “Pinocchio” » Wild card: “Bones and All”

This category is pretty dry, so I can see a lot of other screenplays taking the fifth slot. “White Noise,” “Top Gun: Maverick” — because for some reason sequels are considered adapted — and “All Quiet on the Western Front.” Although it's a stretch because the Academy historically hates horror, I’d love to see them nominate “Bones and All.”

Constellation Stage and Screen welcomes ‘Elf the Musical’ Dec. 15

By Tory Basile

vlbasile@iu.edu | @torybasilee

Constellation Stage and Screen will premiere their inaugural holiday performance of “Elf the Musical” at 7 p.m. Dec. 15 at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater.

Cardinal Stage started its annual holiday musical more than 15 years ago. “Elf the Musical” will be the first holiday performance since Cardinal Stage, Bloomington Playwright’s Project and Pigasus Institute merged to form Constellation last summer, according to a press release.

Based on the 2003 modern Christmas classic, the musical follows the journey of Buddy the Elf as he leaves his home in the North Pole

to find his biological father in New York City. When he was a young orphan, Buddy crawled into Santa’s bag of gifts during Christmas and wound up in the North Pole where he was raised as an elf. Once Buddy grows older — and grows much larger than his elven peers — he discovers that he’s not one of Santa’s magical helpers but rather a fully grown human. He sets out to find his family, discover his identity and spread the true meaning of Christmas.

Directed by Richard Roland, the musical features a variety of Constellation veterans and new talents.

Luke Major, an Indiana native and graduate of the IU Musical Theatre program, is starring as Buddy the Elf.

Michelle Zink-Muñoz, another IU theater graduate, will play the role of Jovie, Buddy’s coworker and love interest. Bloomington theater alumna Amanda Lawson, Eric Olson and Ray Fellman are joining the cast as well.

The musical will feature alternating performances from two youth ensembles comprised of students from the local community. Details about students’ performance dates can be found on Constellation’s website.

Tickets for the show are available online. Ticket prices begin at $35 for adults, $23 for students and $20 for children. Constellation welcomes Bloomington families to visit the performance and enjoy the holiday cheer.

On Nov. 11, 2011, MGMT played a one-time-only live set of music at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in conjunction with and inspired

by Maurizio Cattelan’s exhibit “All.” Cattelan, who was most recently noted for his piece “Comedian” — consisting of a banana duct taped to a wall — suspended 130 of his pieces from the ceiling of the Guggenheim rotunda.

According to the band’s Instagram, both the museum space and the art therein inspired their “loose, hypnotic, and psychedelic” set which was left unreleased to the public for exactly 11 years but was recently released on Nov. 11 of this year. It’s a far cry from what fans have come to expect from MGMT, but many of the strengths present in their other works remain here.

After a brief introduction, “Invocation” introduces the set. The majority of the song is built over a droning synth holding a single note with shifting melodies moving around it. The use of the drone as well as the structure of the melodies around it invoke the sounds of Indian classical music in the mode of indie synthpop.

In the last minute of the song, the chord finally changes, keeping the wide, echoey texture but moving to a more Western melodic structure.

The prolonged presence of the drone makes the change somewhat surprising near the song’s end, but the shift is to something more familiar for the majority of MGMT’s audience, relieving the tension of the drone.

As the record continues, more and more of MGMT’s typical sound creeps in, but it still maintains the delayed, psychedelic texture. “I Am Not Your Home” features a similar drone at the beginning, this time in the high register, floating over crunchy, echoing guitars.

This high drone continues throughout the underlying chords changing, recontextualizing it in each section of the song. Themes of tension and release remain prominent, with some sections sounding discordant and uneasy while others sound harmonically stable and relaxed.

“Who’s Counting” begins with a polyrhythmic groove between drums and guitar with floaty synths playing in the background. The vocal, when it enters, is flush with delay and only makes occasional appearances. When the chorus comes in, it becomes clearer and more consistent, sounding like a familiar MGMT song for the first time on the album.

The tune slides back and forth between these subtly different feels, settling on the clearer one for the song’s conclusion. It becomes somewhat repetitive toward the end, miti-

gated somewhat by sporadic synth and guitar lines playing in the background.

The album closes on “Under the Porch,” which borrows from the sounds of surf rock, mixing them in among the psychedelia. A guitar solo opens the song wandering and loose without much pushing it along.

The groove is very relaxed, taking its time and giving the soloist room to breathe, but it still keeps the texture interesting. Around the four-minute mark, though, the solo becomes somewhat tedious, and listeners hoping for a shift to something else will be sorely disappointed.

Although this album is a departure from MGMT’s modus operandi, it certainly has things going for it. MGMT superfans will no doubt be thrilled to have access to a previously lost piece of the band’s past, and connoisseurs of psychedelia and jam band music may discover a newfound appreciation for the band.

More casual listeners of MGMT’s, like myself, will likely be turned away by the uncharacteristic direction “11.11.11” takes. Although the foundation is solid, it overstays its welcome more often than is comfortable. I often found myself waiting for a musical shift that never came. Still, though, I appreciate having access to this one-time performance, even if it didn’t particularly strike my fancy.
