LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

WELCOME TO IU!

Dear Bloomington visitor, Welcome to IU, and welcome to Bloomington! In the pages ahead, you’ll hear from writers for the Indiana Daily Student — IU’s premier student newspaper — about the coolest things about this campus of ours.

But as Editor-in-Chief of the IDS, I wanted to call dibs and offer my own two cents before you dive into this publication. We focus on things to do on campus in the pages ahead, but before you start, I wanted to lay out a few of my best pieces of advice for visitors looking for something to do off campus.

Get on Kirkwood It’s no easy task to suggest just one thing to do on Kirkwood Avenue, the main road going through downtown and connecting to campus. So, I won’t. Just take a walk down the street and stop wherever catches your eye!

Kirkwood has all the charm of a small-town main street and all the amenities of a city twice its size. From the library to the old-timey Fountain Square mall to upscale and affordable dining options alike, it’s worth checking out Kirkwood without having any idea what you plan to do there beforehand.

Get off Kirkwood Once you’ve had your fill of downtown, I urge you to explore in different directions. In my three-and-a-half years in Bloomington, I only just recently decided to venture further south than Switchyard Park. It was equal parts embarrassing and eye-opening to see what I’ve been missing all this time.

There are so many hidden gems to the south, north, east and even on campus that you’ll miss out on if you grow too attached to the familiarity of downtown.

Visit Griffy Lake Nature Preserve

Griffy Lake feels like far too

beautiful a place to find in a three-mile radius of the center of a city the size of Bloomington.

And yet, there it is. It’s a quiet and gorgeous getaway from the city, and it’s within walking distance from any part of campus if need be. Swimming is prohibited, but you should be able to keep yourself entertained hiking through the more than 1,000 acres of forest full of fauna.

Enjoy your time in Bloomington! We have a truly beautiful campus, and we’re so happy to share it with you.

Sincerely, Jonathan Frey

Editor-in-Chief, Indiana Daily Student B.A. in Journalism ‘26

Facts about the iconic Sample Gates

The Sample Gates carry a deep history of Indiana’s culture and what IU represents.

By Nicole Blevins

neblevin@iu.edu | @nblevins01

Sample Gates, one of IU’s most iconic landmarks, is more than just an entrance to campus. The gates carry a deep history of Indiana’s culture and what IU represents. Listed below are some of the most important and less-familiar facts about Sample Gates that every visitor should know.

• Edson W. Sample funded the gates in the mid-1980s and named them in honor of his parents, Louise Waite Sample and Kimsey Ownbey Sample Sr.

• Sample graduated with a Master of Science degree in 1971 and worked on campus in the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid for nearly 30 years.

• In the 1960s, Sample helped found the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, which now serves nearly 3,000 institutions.

• The gates are built of Indiana limestone, paying homage to the state’s limestone industry.

• The two pillars that make up the gates were built to resemble the original build-

ings that stood at the oldest part of IU’s current campus, known as the Old Cresent.

The buildings were constructed between 1884 and 1908.

• The gates also serve as a connection between IU’s campus and downtown Bloomington with the bustling Kirkwood Avenue across the street. Kirkwood is populated with shops, restaurants and entertainment venues.

• The Sample Gates are one of the most photographed IU structures.

• The gates have served as a backdrop for pep rallys, pro-

tests, vigils and demonstrations for students.

• Some undergraduate students believe the superstition that they should not walk through the open part of the gates until they have obtained their degree or else they will face bad luck.

• Some seniors celebrate their graduation by taking photos in IU regalia, tossing their caps or popping champagne at the gates.

• Sample Gates are briefly featured in Avicii’s “The Nights” music video and during Season 2 Episode 9 in Netflix’s “Firefly Lane.”

IU campus honors late Hoosiers’ legacies Many of IU’s campus buildings have stories behind their names

By Marnie Sara

news@idsnews.com

Indiana University students spend countless hours learning, living and exercising in the various buildings on campus. It is easy to forget, though, about the stories behind the places on campus that honor the trailblazing Hoosiers that came before us.

Ernie Pyle Hall Ernie Pyle came to IU in 1919 and started his journalism career at IU in 1922. He served as news editor and editor-in-chief at the Indiana Daily Student.

Pyle is remembered for his World War II articles that offered an inside look at the military for citizens all around the nation.

Ernie Pyle Hall served as home base for the IU department of journalism for over 40 years. Although the School of Journalism has been reorganized and moved to a new location on campus, Ernie Pyle Hall continues to serve as a welcome center and houses the Walter Center for Career Achievement.

Wells Quad If you are lucky enough, you may spend your first year on campus in one of the newly-renovated student residence halls.

In 2017, IU transformed two academic buildings into one dorm and gave the new building the name Wells Quad.

Wells Quad is dedicated to Agnes E. Wells, an alumna who served as IU Dean of Women in the late 1910s. Wells was focused on improving the experience of women on campus by creat-

ing an uplifting environment.

In 1925, with the help of Wells’ leadership and dedication, IU created its first dorm devoted to female students.

Bill Garrett Fieldhouse Whether you want to play pickup basketball, engage in a tennis match or swim laps in the pool, Bill Garrett Fieldhouse is the place to do it.

This sports facility honors a former Indiana basketball player who arrived on campus in 1947.

Bill Garrett was not only the first Black basketball player at IU, but also the first to compete in the Big Ten. During his time in Bloomington, he led the team in scoring and rebounding. He was also named IU’s most valuable player and was crowned an AllAmerican, a prestigious honor.

With the help of his courage and talent, Garrett opened a door for Black athletes across the nation.

Eskenazi’s upcoming art exhibitions

By Lily Saylor saylorl@iu.edu

If you’re visiting IU this fall, the Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Museum of Art is the perfect spot to spend an afternoon. The museum, located at 1133 E. 7th St., features three floors full of historical and cultural artwork. Along with their permanent collections, this free museum also holds exhibitions dedicated to presenting a concentrated body of work.

These are some of the upcoming exhibitions to check out this fall.

Jan. 24, 2024 – Oct. 5, 2025: “Walid Raad: Sweet Talk: Commissions” This 11-minute film centers around Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, and its residents after the Lebanese Civil War. The video, created by Beirut- and New York-based artist Walid Raad, depicts the efforts to rebuild the city post-war. The film is on display in the Time-based Media Gallery on the third floor of the museum.

Sept. 4, 2025 – Dec. 14, 2025: “Remembrance and Renewal: American Artists and the Holocaust, 1940-1970” This exhibition, comprised of approximately 60 works of art from collections nationwide, will be the first to examine how the Holocaust impacted midcentury American art development.

The exhibition will be held in the Henry Radford Hope Wing, found on the first floor of the museum.

Sept. 20, 2025 – Feb. 15, 2026: “Radius: Helen Frankenthaler Prints in Context” This exhibition celebrates the Abstract Expressionist movement and highlights Frankenthaler, an influential painter and printmaker of the mid-twentieth

What does an approximately 80-pound version of John James Audubon’s “The Birds of America” have in common with a copy of the Marvel comic in which Spider-Man appeared for the first time? Simple. Both can be found in the Lilly Library, the home of IU’s special collections and rare books.

The IDS sat down with Erin Chiparo, the Silver-Norman Curator of Dermatology, General Medicine and Science at the Lilly Library.

This conversation has been edited for conciseness and clarity.

IDS: Can you give me a brief rundown of what the Lilly Library is?

Erin Chiparo: The Lilly Library is the rare books, special collections and manuscripts library here on IU’s campus. The library opened in 1960; it was originally built to house the collection of J.K. Lilly Junior, who was a member of the Lilly family. He was the president of Eli Lilly Company.

When the library originally opened, it housed the special collections that IU already owned, along with about 20,000

books and 18,000 pieces of manuscript that came from Mr. Lilly.

Today, we have about 500,000 rare books, and that number continues to rise, and about 8.5 million pieces of manuscript.

We’re (a) very large collection of this kind, and certainly one of the more prominent special collections libraries in the US. IDS: What are some of the most rare or famous items in the collection?

Chiparo: We get asked this a lot, and it can be really hard to try to narrow it down to just a few objects. We do have an original printing of the Dunlap Broadside, so, the Declaration of Independence. We have the letter that George Washington wrote accepting the office of the presidency. We probably have the finest collection of historical Latin American materials outside of Latin America, including lots of one-of-a-kind objects or sole survivors.

We have manuscripts of Edgar Allan Poe, including two locks of his hair. We have the only printing left of the original “Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes”. We’re very strong in lots of other areas, including children’s books, miniature books, science and medicine,

Bibles, medieval books. It’s really just a collection of collections and something that could interest just about anybody. There’s a Gutenberg Bible.

Lots of libraries like this one, they will ask for letters of recommendation or research proposals in order (for visitors) to even be permitted to come inside sometimes, but we are definitely on the other end of that spectrum. We’re very pro-access.

You don’t need to be affiliated with IU to use the collections.

The only thing that we ask is that they make an appointment in advance so that we know what they want to look at.

You don’t need to even be doing research to come look at things. If you think something is interesting, that’s a perfectly good reason to come and visit.

IDS: What sorts of research do people do with these items?

Chiparo: Lots of biographical research. One thing that really draws people from all over the place are our literary papers.

These would be like the correspondence, photographs, drafts of authors. Sylvia Plath, Kurt Vonnegut Jr., the Kenyan author Ngügĩ. We get people coming to see those kinds of things. And in those cases, maybe no one has

spotted something yet in those kinds of collections.

IDS: Aside from two locks of Edgar Allan Poe’s hair, what are some of the more unusual items in the Lilly Library?

Chiparo: We do have quite a few objects that we refer to as realia. These would be things that are not made from paper; they’re physical objects. The hair is included in that. We have five Oscar statuettes, all of which were won by John Ford.

The other day, I was talking with an archivist who was processing a collection, and he opened a box and there were a bunch of bugs inside — not alive bugs, but bugs that this poet had collected and put in order — and so you’ll get to see these sort of windows into people’s lives this way.

Another really cool and unusual thing that’s currently on exhibition is a manuscript that the novelist Ngügĩ wrote while he was falsely imprisoned, and he wrote it on sheets of toilet tissue that he was being issued in prison. These kinds of, like, really important cultural objects that are very ephemeral, it is our privilege to be able to care for them and make sure that other people get to see them and learn from them.

The Kinsey Institute Library and Collections

By Nicole Blevins

neblevin@iu.edu | @nblevins01

Dr. Alfred Kinsey founded the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University in 1947, formerly known as the Institute for Sex Research until 1981. It has since become one of the leading institutions for research in sexuality, gender and reproduction. The institute comprises three branches: research, education and collections.

Materials from Dr. Kinsey’s 1938 “Marriage and Family” course at IU were among the first contributions to the institute’s wide-ranging collection.

Kinsey collected books and ar-

ticles related to all facets of sex to widen his own knowledge and understanding of the existing research.

Rebecca Fasman, curator for the Kinsey Institute, said the collection now has about 110,000 items in the artifact and photography collection and about 600,000 items in the library and archives.

Most of the items are from the past 2,000 years of human history, but a few items date back tens of thousands of years. The items in the collections span from the recently donated Bloomington Area Birth Services archive to what is thought to be the oldest pil-

low in existence from China.

In January, historic research was donated to the Kinsey Institute from sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer, anthropologist Dr. Helen Fisher and feminist historian Dr. Judith Allen, all of whom passed during the summer of 2024. Their research now lies among the research and materials of Dr. Kinsey, William Masters and Virginia Johnson, and artists’ work of Henri Matisse, Robert Mapplethorpe, George Platt Lynes and Cynthia Plaster Caster, among many others. Masters and Johnson pioneered the study of human sexual response and treatment

of sexual dysfunction, and Lynes produced photographs of gay writers and artists in the 1940s.

The Kinsey Institute collections are available for qualified researchers, including IU faculty and students, who are above the age of 18 and have demonstrated research needs related to human sexuality, gender and reproduction. Contact the institute in advance to confirm admittance.

The Kinsey Institute Research Symposium: Sex and Aging will be hosted in Alumni Hall and Solarium at the Indiana Memorial Union Oct. 4 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Who was Herman B Wells?

YOUR HOME FOR EYECARE

By Sean Gilley spgilley@iu.edu

Herman B Wells was the 11th president and first chancellor of Indiana University, but he was more than that. Wells served the university, its faculty and its students in many different capacities to transform a once small and locally-focused college into a nationally-ranked and accredited institution.

Born on June 7, 1902, Wells was very active in his high school, where he was voted “Funniest” and “Best AllAround Boy.” He served as the treasurer for his high school’s yearbook, wrote for the school newspaper and took part in theater productions and various fundraisers.

Wells initially attended the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign before transferring to Indiana University Bloomington after his freshman year.

He then went on to receive his bachelor’s degree in commerce in 1924 and, later, a master’s degree in economics, also from IU. He began teaching economics at IU in 1930, until then-IU president William Lowe Bryan appointed Wells as dean of what would become the Kelley School of Business. Wells was Bryan’s protégé and would later succeed him as the university’s president in 1937 following Bryan’s unexpected departure.

It was under Wells’ presidency that the university expanded and prospered. Through his lobbying efforts in Congress and Indiana’s State Legislature, as well as his fundraising campaigns among alumni and local business, he was able to

undertake what he considered the “greatest single period of expansion” in the history of the university, according to his autobiography.

Wells led the development of 15 new buildings, attracted a large cohort of new faculty and budding scholars, broadened university arts and science programs and developed the university’s international study programs. Following the end of World War II, Wells, also fought to end segregation, to advance academic and intellectual freedom and to protect the environment on and around campus.

After his retirement as president in 1962, Wells was appointed to the specially-created position of chancellor. He held this position — overseeing special projects, fundraising and advising the university — until his death in 2000. Although he is no longer with us, the fruits of his labor will continue to bloom long into the future.

The story behind IU’s Cox Arboretum

The Metz Bicentennial Grand Carillon is pictured August 15, 2025. IU students can take a class in which they ring the carillon bells.

By Lily Saylor saylorl@iu.edu

If you are taking a stroll across campus and see a towering structure ringing melodic bells, then you have found the Cox Arboretum. The arboretum spans 11 acres of IU and serves as a campus green space. While thousands of students walk through the arboretum daily, the meaning behind the space may not be as known by the public.

Here’s everything you need to know about the history of the Cox Arboretum.

The Cox Arboretum An arboretum is defined as a botanical garden devoted to trees. The Cox Arboretum is home to trees and plants, both native and exotic. The space also features the Cox Pavilion located on the northwest side of

the arboretum, which is a great spot for visitors to enjoy the fall weather. The arboretum also includes the Metz Grand Carillon, a towering musical instrument.

Jesse H. and Beulah Chanley Cox The Cox Arboretum was dedicated and named in honor of Jesse H. and Beulah Chanley Cox in 1996. The couple met in high school, and, during the Great Depression, Jesse worked multiple jobs to eventually afford his enrollment at IU in 1939 and to marry Beulah.

Jesse earned his business degree in 1942 and founded J.H. Cox Manufacturing Co., a business that supplied venetian blinds to major retailers.

Jesse and Beulah expanded their business ventures into farming and commercial real estate and used their financial successes to

generously give back to IU. The couple gifted IU $92 million in 1997, which is still the largest gift the university has ever received from an individual. That gift later established the Cox Scholars Program, a program that rewards money to IU students that have shown financial need. The scholarship program includes six specific scholarships, all with their own eligibility requirements, and will celebrate its 20th anniversary this year.

The Metz Grand Carillon At 128-feet-tall, the Arthur R. Metz Bicentennial Grand Carillon is easy to spot. A carillon is a mechanical keyboard instrument that produces sound through cast bronze bells. Essentially, the instrument is a bell piano in a tower. There are seven carillons in Indiana, with the

SYDNEY WEBER | IDS

Grand Carillon located in the arboretum being the largest.

IU students enrolled in the carillon studio can play the instrument, with music ranging from classical arrangements to modern pop songs.

Original Memorial Stadium The original Memorial Stadium was opened in 1925 and used until 1960, when the current Memorial Stadium was built. In 1971, it was renamed Tenth Street Stadium and was demolished in 1982 in order to construct the Cox Arboretum.

The stadium was also featured in the 1979 film “Breaking Away.”

The film starred Dennis Christopher, Daniel Stern, Jackie Earl Haley and Dennis Quaid, and centered around the Little 500, IU’s iconic annual bike race. The movie is available to rent on Amazon Prime Video.

13 INSIDE THE ORIGINS:

Old brass spittoon, old oaken bucket

By Dalton James

jamesdm@iu.edu | @DaltonMJames

Each fall when Indiana football competes on the field, it is playing for more than just victories.

In two matchups each season, the Hoosiers are playing for a trophy and bragging rights in two historic rivalries.

Old Brass Spittoon When Indiana and Michigan State match up on the gridiron late in the fall, the Old Brass Spittoon is on the line.

The spittoon was initiated

by Michigan State’s junior and senior classes and the student council. It was then accepted by the Indiana Student Senate.

The 1950 contest between the two squads marked the first time the spittoon was awarded to the winner of the game. The spittoon originally came from one of Michigan’s earliest trading posts and is widely believed to be nearly 200 years old.

Since 1950, the Spartans lead the series 50-16-1. However, the

Hoosiers reclaimed the spittoon in their historic 2024 season with a dominant 47-10 victory over Michigan State on Nov. 2, 2024, at Spartan Stadium in East Lansing, Michigan.

Old Oaken Bucket Not only are in-state bragging rights at stake between Indiana and Purdue, but so too is the Old Oaken Bucket.

Indiana and Purdue have been playing football against each other since 1891. In 1925, the Indiana and Purdue Alumni Clubs of Chicago met to “discuss the possibility of undertaking a

worthy joint enterprise on behalf of the two schools,” according to Indiana football’s game notes.

Indiana’s Dr. Clarence Jones proposed creating a trophy that would be awarded to the winner of the annual football matchup.

Then, J. Frank Lindsey, who graduated from Indiana in 1913 and was elected chairman of the joint committee, chose Dr. Jones and Purdue’s Russel Gray to recommend a “suitable trophy.”

At one of the following meetings, the committee recommended “an old oaken bucket as the most typical Hoosier form of trophy, that the bucket should

be taken from some well in Indiana and that a chain to be made of bronze block ‘I’ and ‘P’ letter should be provided for the bucket.”

The committee also stated the winner of the annual matchup would possess the Old Oaken Bucket until the contest the following year, as the victor should also attach their school’s block letter to the bail with the score engraved on it.

Purdue Fritz Ernst and Indiana’s Wiley J. Huddle were tasked with finding the bucket, which they located between Kent and Hanover in southern Indiana on the old Bruner Farm, which is a region settled by the Bruner family in the 1840s.

Therefore, the bucket is around 180 years old.

Since 1925, Purdue leads the Old Oaken Bucket series 63-333. Even more so than they did against Michigan State, the Hoosiers walloped the Boilermakers 66-0 in the latest matchup Nov. 30, 2024, at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington to reclaim the trophy for the first time since 2019.

Savor the flavor A visitor’s guide to campus dining

By Ursula Stickelmaier ustickel@iu.edu

If you’re visiting IU, you probably already have a checklist of everything you want to do during your trip. Popular things may include seeing Sample Gates, checking out the student in your life’s’ class route or maybe going to a football game this fall. While all these things can make a great visit, nothing brings the campus experience to life quite like eating there. With lots of dining options available to visitors, here is a guide to eating at IU. Indiana Memorial Union The IMU is a great place for a meal. With 10 dining options, visitors have their choice of many cuisines — including Pan-Asianstyle street food to a classic salad bar. If you’re looking for sit-down restaurants, the best two options are the Tudor Room, located on the first floor, or The Vault Pub, which is at the Lobby Level with access from the Main Level or Patio.

The Tudor Room was built in 1959 as part of the $9.1 million Biddle Hotel & Conference Center, a wing added to the IMU in 1960 which offers hotel accommodations and conference spaces for university visitors and guests. Drawing inspiration from Tudor England, the Tudor Room is a fine dining experience with a buffet twist for those looking to have a nice meal with their student. Reservations can be made online on the IMU Tudor Room website but are not required.

Customers can also get vouchers to park in the pay lots at a discounted rate. Pricing for the Tudor Room varies depending

on age group. Though closed on Saturdays, the restaurant is open weekdays for lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and for brunch on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

If you’re looking for coffee during your visit to IU, the IMU offers both a Starbucks, found on the First Floor, and Sugar & Spice Bakery, an IU classic that can be located on the Main Level. Starbucks takes Dining Dollars for students looking to get a quick drink, and cash or card. Visitors can also order ahead using the Starbucks app. The Sugar and Spice Bakery has been a campus favorite for over 50 years. Serving La Colombe coffee, along with various teas, smoothies and boba tea, Sugar and Spice Bakery can be ordered at the counter or ahead through Grubhub. If you’re looking to bring home your favorite treats from the bakery, or make a custom order, that can be done online through the IMU Sugar and Spice Bakery website.

The IMU also offers dining options for you to take on-the-go or sit down and enjoy in the various IMU dining areas. All allow you to pay at the counter using a card or use Dinging Dollars or Meal Exchanges if your student has a meal plan, with several also having an order ahead option through Grubhub. While the menus at these restaurants primarily remain unchanged, The Globe, which brings Bloomington restaraunts and food trucks to campus, changes its menu depending on the day and meal being served. Visitors can find a breakdown of their menu schedule for the IMU location, and its locations at the Bookmarket and Eigenmann Cafe, on the IU Dining website.

A student grabs lunch inside Forest Dining Hall on Oct. 9, 2024, in Bloomington. This year, the dining hall offers 10 micro restaurants.

All primarily located on the Main Level of the IMU, these dining options have enough variety to make sure everyone in your party can get something they enjoy.

All You Care to Eat locations If you’re looking to enjoy a meal as an IU student would, look no further than the various All You Care to Eat locations found around campus. The AYCE locations can be separated between dining hall and eateries, with dining halls having lots of variety with up to 10 “mini restaurants” in one location. Though they have fewer options, the eateries are still a great place to check out and can be found at the Collins Living Learning Center and Goodbody Hall. AYCE locations are exactly how they sound, providing a space for both students and visitors to enjoy all the food they want with the cost of one meal swipe or payment, a price which varies depending on the time of day and meal.

The dining hall options can be found at Forest Quadrangle, McNutt Quadrangle and Joseph A. Wright Quadrangle. Newly reopened, Wright Quad Dining Hall features many similar options to the dining halls around campus,

including an allergen free zone for those with specific food requirements.

Campus Cafes and the Bookmarket Various cafes can also be found around popular spots on campus, such as the Luzetta and Del Newkirk Café which can be found at the Eskenazi Art Museum. All options accept dining dollars along with credit cards.

Recently remodeled, the Bookmarket is also a great dining option for visitors to check out. Like the IMU food court area, the Bookmarket at Herman B Wells Library will offer plenty of food options, including a Kings Hawaiian chicken shop and Blenz Bowls smoothies and bowls. The pay options will work similarly as well with visitors able to pay at the counter using their credit or debit card.

Dining at Read Residence Hall will also reopen this fall.

Though the classic dining hall closed March 15 for a remodel and restructuring of its food services, in its place a Starbucks and Poke by Sushi King will open.

Like other dining options around campus, the Read locations for both restaurants will accept credit or debit cards.

Meet Martha the Mop Lady

By Jack Forrest

jhforres@iu.edu | @byjackforrest

How often does a custodian command the attention of thousands of fans?

During the IU basketball season at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, it’s nearly every week.

“Martha the Mop Lady” is the name ascribed to opera singer Martha Webster, who portrayed the character in an Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance commercial played in the 1970s and ‘80s.

The commercial was almost instantly iconic. Martha, sporting a white outfit accented by a red bonnet and apron, mops the hallowed floors of Assembly Hall. A cacophony of kazoo sounds plays IU’s fight song, “Indiana, Our Indiana,” as Mar-

tha whistles along. Eventually, she begins to belt out the words: “Never daunted, we cannot falter, in the battle, we’re tried and true!”

The ad aired before IU basketball games on local television channel WTTV-4. But as the Bob Knight-led Hoosiers grew a national audience, CBS began airing IU games across the country, and the ad stopped playing.

After more than 20 years off the air, IU and Indiana Farm Bureau brought back the ad in 2010 — this time, on the screens at Assembly Hall. It’s become a staple of the Hoosiers’ pregame ritual for all men’s and women’s games, with fans clapping along to Martha’s performance of the fight song.

But Martha’s impact extends beyond the commercial. After

e t a t cre

initially declaring for the NBA draft in 2022, IU men’s basketball big man Trayce JacksonDavis announced he’d return to IU for his senior year with an edit set to the audio from the ad.

In 2023, Jacobs School of Music opera singer Maggie Kinabrew portrayed Martha in a live rendition of the commercial in Assembly Hall. Another singer dressed as Martha led fans in song at a women’s basketball game in November 2024; that same month, IU also licensed out Martha-branded merchandise.

Fans can now purchase official Martha mugs, shirts and more.

So, the next time you clap along to “Indiana, Our Indiana” at a game, remember the story of the janitor who became a symbol of Indiana basketball.

Spot these 8 sculptures on campus

By Theo Hawkins

sohawkin@iu.edu

Hoagy Carmichael Location: near the IU Auditorium Famed jazz composer, pianist and singer Hoagy Carmichael grew up in Bloomington and attended the IU School of Law. It was at IU that he composed “Stardust,” which, along with his other pieces “Georgia on My Mind,” “The Nearness of You,” and “Heart and Soul,” became one of the most-recorded American songs ever written. This sculpture was completed in 2008 and was Michael McAuley’s first IU campus installation.

George Taliaferro Location: outside the Memorial Stadium North End Zone facility Playing for IU football in 1945-1948 — a three-time All-American and the star of a historic undefeated 1945 team — was just the start for George Taliaferro. He went on to become the first Black player drafted into the NFL, where he spent seven seasons.

In 1972, after earning his master’s degree, teaching and becoming dean of students at other institutions, Taliaferro returned to IU for another two decades, serving as special assistant to the president and dean of the School of Social Work. Taliaferro died in 2018, and this statue was done by Brian Hanlon and unveiled in 2019.

19 Alfred C. Kinsey Location: east of Lindley Hall This sculpture of biologist and sex researcher Alfred C. Kinsey was installed on campus in 2022 in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Kinsey Institute for Sex Research, where he conducted groundbreaking research on human sexuality. His team is best known for having collected over 18,000 sex histories and publishing “Sexual Behavior in the Human Male” and “Sexual Behavior in the Human Female,” both still landmarks in the field. The sculpture is surrounded by irises, in honor of Kinsey’s love for gardening; he is said to have cultivated over 200 varieties of irises at home. The statue was designed by IU lecturer Melanie Cooper Pennington.

Ernie Pyle Location: in front of Franklin Hall Tuck Langland designed this bronze statue of Ernie Pyle, dedicated in 2014 with the creation of the IU Media School. Pyle was a Pulitzer Prize-winning World War II correspondent, known for his ability to connect with his subjects and honest depictions of the war, who was killed in 1945 while reporting.

Travel back in time with the IU Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology

By Lily Saylor saylorl@iu.edu

If you are visiting IU and want to get lost in history, look no further than the IU Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. Located at 416 N. Indiana Ave., the museum houses over five million objects of cultural heritage and archaeological significance. The IUMAA’s development and external communications manager, Camden Hill, said the museum has plenty to offer, from free community events to a wide variety of collections and exhibitions.

“We are the principal caretaker of global cultural heritage for IU and our exhibitions really try to tell the human stories behind our objects,” Hill said.

Currently on display is “City on the River,” an exhibition

which tells the story of Angel Mounds, a significant Mississippian site. The exhibition is a culmination of years of collaboration with the Angel Mounds Exhibition Advisory Council, a group made up of living Indigenous descendant communities.

At the end of October, the museum is presenting “The Journey of Women.” The exhibition centers around Yemeni jewelry and the role it played in Yemeni women’s lives.

“The jewelry is absolutely beautiful,” Hill said. “And I think anyone interested in history or interested in jewelry would really enjoy coming to see that.”

Hill said that the IUMAA is careful not to think of its pieces as theirs, rather, the museum staff are the caretakers of the pieces, with the responsibility and privilege to steward them.

“We want to be connected with the community that created these objects and make sure that there is always a dialogue in that we are respecting those communities and what they would wish for those objects,” he said. “I think that is one of our values that kind of sets us apart. Other museums are moving in this direction, but we are trying to be on the forefront of that as much as we can.”

As well as exhibitions, the facility also hosts free community events that have been a hit for both students and families in the Bloomington community. Past events included a Valentines Day-themed “Love at the Museum” event and a South Asian-themed “Night at the Museum” with Bollywood dancing.

This year, Hill said the mu-

seum is continuing that event series with fall festivals to celebrate a variety of cultures. The free events will be held every second Thursday of the month from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. While the museum will celebrate Halloween this fall, Hill emphasized the importance of branching out and showcasing diversity, as well.

“We’re trying to shift the focus towards bringing everyone to the table, not just everything being Halloween, or so American-centric all the time,” he said.

The IUMAA is closed Sunday and Monday, open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. as well as Saturdays from 12 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

The history of IU’s Showalter Fountain

By Natalia Nelson

nelsonnb@iu.edu | @natalianelsonn

The first time a fish was stolen from the Showalter Fountain was the last time IU basketball won an NCAA tournament in 1987.

Since then, the smallest of the five fish statues that surround the sculpture of Venus in the heart of the Fine Arts Plaza has been stolen and replaced multiple times.

The fish was swiped once more when former men’s basketball head coach Bob Knight was fired in 2000, replaced with a replica fish in 2009. It was nabbed again in 2010, an impressive feat considering the sculpture weighs over 300 pounds.

The replica fish was recovered in 2013, but the original bronze statue has never been

damage.

The 15-foot fountain was designed by former IU professor Robert Laurent and funded by Grace Showalter, a graduate of IU and member of the IU Foundation, in memory of her late husband, Ralph W. Showalter. A rendition of the birth of Venus, the bronze statue depicts the Ro-

man goddess of love and beauty as she emerges from a clamshell, surrounded by five fish, four of which are original from when the fountain was first erected.

The Showalter Fountain was completed in 1961 and is a centerpiece of culture and history at IU — it’s tradition for students to swim in the fountain at least once before graduation. The landmark also serves as a backdrop for student protests, demonstrations and vigils.

In former president Herman B Wells’ dedication address, he said the statue was a testimony to IU’s commitment to the arts.

Now the plaza, at the intersection of the Eskenazi Museum of Art, the art school and the IU Auditorium, hosts IU’s First Thursdays festivals, which highlight local artists and vendors.

How IU Cinema brings film to life

By Arnaav Anand arnanand@iu.edu

At IU Cinema, the process of screening a film begins long before the audience enters the theater. With a 34-foot screen, four projectors and 21 speakers, the art house venue is equipped to deliver a state-of-the-art viewing experience, but getting to that point takes careful planning and technical precision.

The Indiana Daily Student spoke with IU Cinema Director Alicia Kozma to get an in-depth perspective on how a movie is developed at the cinema.

Projecting on digital It starts with coordination between the cinema and the film’s distributor. Once a film is selected, the cinema works directly with the distributor, who sends across a digital cinema package. The DCP is essentially

an external hard drive containing various files — most importantly, the film itself. It may also include bonus content, trailers and other additional materials if requested.

“We aim to receive these DCPs about six weeks in advance of the scheduled screening,” Kozma said. “Although four weeks is our minimum threshold.”

Once the DCP arrives, it is ingested and copied into the digital projector’s server. The server is responsible for storing and managing every piece of content that appears on screen. At this stage, the technical team checks to ensure the files are intact and functioning correctly. To unlock and play the encrypted film content, the team uses a unique digital code called the key delivery message from the distributor.

With the key in place, it’s time to initiate quality control. This

includes a thorough check of the entire film, ensuring it looks and sounds the way it should. The cinema employees harness the film through an integrated cinema media processor chip called Barco Alchemy, which reads the content from the DCP. They additionally verify the availability of accessibility features like captions. The cinema also makes sure its closed-caption devices work properly with the content.

About three weeks before the screening, the film is scheduled for another round of QC and testing.

“Our digital projector operates much like Spotify or Apple Music,” Kozma said. “We maintain a playlist to organize everything shown on screen.”

This playlist, built using a software called Doremi, helps to control dynamic elements such as moving the curtains and adjusting the lights. Pre-show

materials such as emergency exit slides, promotional content and trailers are assembled as needed. The film and any bonus material are added after the preshow lineup.

Sound testing is one of the first steps in QC. Because every film has its own unique audio levels, projectionists identify the quietest and loudest moments to ensure volume remains consistent.

“This isn’t automated by the way,” Kozma said. “It’s all done manually by ear.”

Since the number of people in the room affects the way sound travels, the volume is adjusted closer to the screening day based on the audience size to create a balanced audio experience.

Then the cinema conducts two rounds of testing in the weeks before the screening. On the day of the event, a third and final check

is performed. As the film starts playing, the projectionists monitor the picture and sound from the booth, while other staff members listen from inside the auditorium.

“If the crowd is larger than expected, small real-time adjustments to the volume might be made,” Kozma said. “These changes are subtle and go unnoticed by most, but they help create the best possible experience.”

Projecting on film When the cinema screens on film instead of digital, the process is much more hands-on.

The film typically arrives as one to eight physical reels, depending on the runtime, and is carefully inspected before screenings. Technicians have inspection benches with film runners at both ends. Using a magnifying loop and a light table, the technicians crank each reel manually, checking for shrinkage, dirt, damage and any previous repairs.

“We won’t proceed until we know the print is safe for both the film and the projector,” Kozma said.

Film prints are expected at least eight weeks ahead of time because they’re bulky, fragile and must be shipped with care.

Film screenings also require different equipment than digital ones. While digital content can be inspected through software, the celluloid-based reels need to be physically reviewed frame by frame. Once inspected, the reels are assembled in the correct order.

The cinema boasts twin Kinoton 16mm and 35mm changeover film projectors for seamless reel changes. While one projector runs, the subsequent reel is prepped on the other.

“We’re always one reel ahead,” Kozma said. “As soon as

one reel ends, the next one begins without delay.”

Sound for film works differently than digital, so the employees test it twice to get it right. Even with a film print, the employees can still create a digital playlist for pre-show content and automation, meaning both digital and analog systems work in tandem.

Unlike digital screenings, which can be fine-tuned remotely — sometimes even using an iPad — film projectionists must be physically present in the booth to make manual corrections. For instance, if the film slips out of frame alignment during projection, the operator must adjust it by hand.

“These changes are often so subtle that audiences won’t notice,” Kozma said. “But a trained eye catches them immediately.”

Captions are harder to manage. Older celluloid prints lack open captions because the technology simply didn’t exist when they were made. Whether closed-caption options are available depends on whether the film was remastered. Kozma said accessibility remains a challenge.

COURTESY OF CHRIS MEYER

Student projectionist Ebenezer Eferobor checks a film at the projectionist portal station on March 25, 2022, at the IU Cinema. The station allows the projectionist to configure playback and volume settings and automations like lighting and curtain movement while overlooking the screen through a window.

“Even though we’re required to provide accessible screenings, distributors are not obligated to supply accessible versions,” she said. “So, sometimes, even when we want to offer captions, they just don’t exist for certain titles.”

For celluloid film, inspecting the reels alone takes five to seven hours, and the full preparation process — inspection, assembly and testing — can take anywhere from 10 to 15 hours in total.

Once the screening ends,

the employees rewind the reels, prepare an inspection report, detailing any issues or repairs, and repack the film into heavy metal containers to return to the distributor.

“Preparing a film to be screened at IU Cinema — whether digitally or on celluloid — is a very detailed and specialized process,” Kozma said.

“From the seats in the Cinema it looks like movie magic when it’s really the dedicated labor and talent of the Cinema team.”

COLUMN: Podcasts to listen to if you want to get to know IU, Bloomington and Indiana

By Vincent Winkler

viwink@iu.edu | @vinceisonline

IU-Bloomington is in a vibrant city full of culture, art and diverse activities. Whether you’re a history nut, outdoorsman or night-lifer, the famous college town has a little something for everyone to enjoy.

If you’re just starting at IU or simply someone new to the area and want to get to know your surroundings, here are some podcasts you must listen to. Podcasts on the subject are a great way to learn about the city — you can even drive around or visit the locations you hear as you listen to them.

Hosted by IU alumni, Media School professor and journalist James Shanahan, as well as Executive Director of Content Strategy Janae Cummings, “Through the Gates” is the official podcast of IU. It explores various facets of campus life, academic achievements and community engagements. Each

episode features interviews with faculty, students and alumni, providing insights into the vibrant community at IU. This is a great place to start if you’re looking for a view into the world of student life at the university. You can listen to the podcast through the Media School’s collection or on SoundCloud.

A more niche podcast, “Earth Eats,” produced by WFIU Public Radio, focuses on food and sustainability. This podcast explores local food systems, farm-to-table practices and recipes that reflect the agricultural richness of Indiana. Kayte Young, host and producer of “Earth Eats,” found her love for growing, cooking, foraging and preserving fresh food upon moving to Bloomington in 2007. With a background in construction, architecture, nutrition education and writing, her passion for the subject is evident in the podcast. Young lives in Bloomington’s McDoel Gardens neighborhood, where she tends to a colony of bees and

a thriving garden. Listen to the podcast on NPR’s website or on Apple Podcasts.

If you want to focus more on the historical aspects of IU, dive into the world of “Talking Hoosier History.” Hosted by historians from the Indiana Historical Bureau, this podcast uncovers fascinating stories about the state’s past, including pivotal moments and notable figures that have shaped Indiana’s identity.

For over a century, the Indiana Historical Bureau has connected people with Indiana’s history through publications, historical markers and now, podcasts. “Talking Hoosier History” is their storytelling podcast, delving into the diverse narratives of Indiana’s past. Featuring guests like former Indiana Poet Laureate Shari Wagner and Marion County Historian Steve Barnett, episodes cover a range of topics such as African American history, women’s history, science and poetry — all

of which offer a fresh perspective on the state’s rich cultural heritage. You can listen to THH wherever you get your podcasts.

The last mention is for the sports fanatics and, if you’re new to Bloomington, you’ll want to become a Hoosiers fan if you aren’t already. IU sports have some of the most dedicated fan bases in the country, and there’s nothing more hype than seeing the teams in action. “Hoosier Hysterics” is a podcast that covers everything about IU athletics.

From game highlights to interviews with coaches and players, this podcast captures the passion and pride associated with Hoosier sports culture. The podcast also features discussions and critiques about the current state of IU sports programs, making it a must-listen for fans who live and breathe cream and crimson or those looking to get insight into the passionate world of your new favorite collegiate sports team. Give it a listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Stargazing on campus at the Kirkwood Observatory Department’s website.

Approximately three times a month, the observatory also offers Solar Saturdays from 1-3 p.m. During that time, visitors can see mirror projections of the sun, including sunspots and the Sun’s chromosphere.

The IDS spoke with Sarah Popp, the Astronomy Department’s outreach coordinator, to learn more about the observatory’s past and present.

This conversation has been edited for conciseness and clarity.

IDS: What is your role with the Kirkwood Observatory?

Sarah Popp: I organize all of our community outreach events, including our Kirkwood Observatory open house nights.

IDS: Can you tell me about those?

Popp: Kirkwood is our observatory on campus. We have a 12-inch refracting telescope in the observatory. We don’t use Kirkwood for scientific research anymore, but it’s a really great telescope for outreach and education.

The observatory is open to the public every Wednesday night from spring break to

By Sydney Weber syaweber@iu.edu

The Kirkwood Observatory pops up from amongst the trees of Dunn’s Woods near Sample Gates. This is an unexpected location for a telescope, since being in the middle of the city of Bloomington means there’s light pollution blocking some of the view.

The observatory hasn’t always been so centrally located, however. Photos from the Astronomy Department’s website show that in 1906, a few years after its construction in 1900, the observatory stood in a clearing, apart from what is now IU’s campus.

Though no longer used for scientific research, the observatory still hosts outreach events to engage the community with the universe.

Wednesday nights between March and November — when classes are in session and the sky is clear — the observatory hosts open nights when the public can come and see the telescope. The full schedule is available on the Astronomy

the observatory has been used for, I believe it’s been used for studying asteroids and measuring their orbits. Then it was used for studying binary stars.

(In terms of the) history of the observatory, Kirkwood was built in 1900 and started operating in 1901. It’s named after Daniel Kirkwood, who was actually a professor of mathematics here at IU. He is the same person that Kirkwood Avenue is named for.

He was known for measuring the orbits of asteroids. He noticed gaps in the distribution of asteroids in the asteroid belt, and he was able to figure out why those gaps were happening, and now they’re known as Kirkwood gaps.

He also did some research on Saturn’s rings and found the same type of thing happening.

Kirkwood himself never actually used the Kirkwood Observatory.

It was completed about six years after his death.

You don’t have to drive to Bloomington’s outskirts to see the stars well; just come visit the Kirkwood Observatory on a Wednesday night.

Thanksgiving, weather permitting, of course. And for those open house nights, anyone can come show up; it’s totally free.

We will give a little tour of the observatory and some background information and then take people up to the telescope to look at whatever cool astronomical thing we’re looking at that night.

IDS: What are some of the things that people see on the tour?

Popp: We have a lot of informational displays up about the history of the observatory on campus and how it’s been used on campus. We have the solar telescope, which we won’t have open while we’re doing the open house night, because those are at night, and so we can’t look at the sun. But we also do Solar Saturdays when people can come and look at the sun using the solar telescope. And then we’ll take people up to the actual telescope in the dome; it’s the original telescope from 1900.

IDS: What research has been done in the past at the observatory?

Popp: Some of the things that
