Source Campus Visitor's Guide Spring 2024

For over 50 years, Mother Bear’s pizza has been synonymous with awards. USA Today named it the “Best Pizza in Indiana” and the IU community voted it Best Pizza in Bloomington 10 years in a row through the IDS Best in Bloomington poll. Additionally, People Magazine named Mother Bear’s one of America’s Top Nine Pizzerias.

Ray McConn, an IU graduate, prides himself on keeping Mother Bear’s close to the heart of the Bloomington and Indiana University communities.

Mother Bear’s is famous for its specials and specialty pizzas. The most popular, especially among students, is the “Munchie Madness.” Other specials include: Ten inch Tuesday, Thirsty Thursday, Lunch specials, and more!

The “Divine Swine” is the most famous specialty pizza. This meat lover’s fantasy has every pizza topping imaginable: pepperoni, sausage, ham and bacon. If you are feeling more on the healthy side, try the house salad that is unique for its Goldfish cracker topping instead of croutons. The restaurant is always busy and packed with patrons, but you are guaranteed that your long wait will be rewarded.

Guide to IU community events

By Lilly Dingman ldingman@iu.edu

There is always something to do while at Indiana University. Here are some of the most exciting on-campus events to take part in during your time here.

First Thursdays

The First Thursdays festival is a unique way for the IU community to explore the diversity of arts and humanities in Bloomington. The festival occurs on the first Thursday during the months of September, October, November and April. More information about the next event can be found on the arts and humanities website. The event offers opportunities for attendees to experience some amazing pieces by different artists, performers

and scholars. Past events have included, but were not limited to, stage fighting, breakdancing and opera performances.

WIUX Culture Shock

The WIUX Culture Shock is the perfect event for enthusiastic concertgoers. Located at Dunn Meadow, the annual event will take place on Saturday, April 13 this year. It includes food trucks, booths with different campus organizations and lots of different bands. In previous years, featured bands have included The Pops, Home Phone and Inner Peace.

Little 500

One of the largest weekends of the year, IU’s Little 500 is the biggest collegiate bike race in the U.S. Every year, teams of

four compete around the track at the Bill Armstrong Stadium. This year, the women’s race will take place at 4 p.m. April 19 and the men’s at 2 p.m. April 20. The event consists of two bike races, the women’s and men’s. The women’s race consists of 100 laps (25 miles) and the men’s race consists of 200 laps (50 miles).

Science Fest

Every year, IU hosts Science Fest, where people of all ages can gain hands-on experiences with science experiments. In previous years, the event has included more than 150 science-related activities, which came from 26 different areas of scientific study. Most years the event is held during the fall semester, but this year it will take place during the spring, due to the solar eclipse.

IU Homecoming

IU has tons of traditions, but Homecoming weekend is one of the best. A lot of events fill up the weekend, which includes a tailgate in the stadium parking lot and the Homecoming parade down Woodlawn Avenue. Directly following the tailgate, fans can enjoy the Homecoming football game at Memorial Stadium.

Trivia Night

Located at the Indiana Memorial Union, anyone is invited to test their knowledge on a variety of content for the chance to win prizes every from 7-8 p.m. Thursday.

Your guide to IU’s traditions

By Ce’Etter Stevens cemsteve@iu.edu

IU is full of interesting sights, restaurants, historical events and customs. Whether you are an incoming student, local, or a visitor exploring this engaging town, here are some of the known and obscure IU traditions that you should know about.

Herman B Wells Statue

e rst tradition worthy of mention is of course the Herman B Wells statue located west of campus outside the Student Building. Wells was the 11th president of IU and the rst chancellor of IU. His statue was installed in 2000, which is the same year he passed away. e statue serves to commemorate his accomplishments at the

university. It’s been said that if a student shakes Wells’ hand before the semester or any exam, they will receive academic success.

Eskenazi’s color show

e Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Museum of Art’s color show is a fun and colorful tradition for anyone to experience. is is where many students and residents come at night, lay on the ground and put their feet against the wall to watch the color show display provided by the Light Totem. e LED lights are re ected o the wall of the museum which creates an alluring aura of light.

Hep’s Rock

If you get the chance to go to an IU football game, get the

Hoosier Pre-game pass for a tour of the stadium and an opportunity to take a picture with an IU tradition. Behind the north end zone, is a limestone boulder called “Hep’s Rock.” It’s named after former head coach Terry Hoeppner, who tragically passed away in 2017. It is believed to symbolize the team’s immovable strength, team unity, and pays homage to southern Indiana’s notable limestone industry. “Hep’s Rock was originally called " e Rock,” and was installed inside the stadium in 2005. Each home game, Indiana football players and coaches touch the rock before taking the eld.

USS Indiana Battleship

Another IU football gameday tradition at the west side of

Memorial Stadium. Many fans take pictures in front of pieces of the USS Indiana battleship, the cannon guns, mainmast and prow, that honor the sailors and marines who served on the ship from 1942- 1947. e battleship was used during World War II, and it took part in several notable Paci c campaigns and invasions.

Past carved in stone: IU’s statues

These five statues around campus immortalize important figures in IU history

By Elizabeth Bowling elibowli@iu.edu

Ernie Pyle

An Indiana native, Ernie Pyle learned the journalistic skills he would use in World War II at IU. His writing made American people feel as if they were part of each battle or air raid. Pyle lives on forever in front of Franklin Hall as a statue with a typewriter.

Created by Tuck Langland, Pyle’s statue presents him in soldier’s gear, taking a break from the action of war to type out a story. His statue makes him seem approachable, as people will often sit down to write or type with him on the other side of the desk.

Herman B Wells

One of IU’s most popular traditions is shaking Herman B

Wells’ hand — that is, his statue at least. Prospective students shake it for luck getting into IU and current students to achieve perfect scores on finals.

Located just outside of Dunn Woods, the statue was commissioned in 2000 to honor Wells’ legacy. Wells was pivotal in IU becoming a national powerhouse and helped integrate the campus. The statue was designed by Tuck Langland. Fun fact: if you look under the brim of the statue’s hat, you’ll see “University of Minnesota — Go Gophers,” which was a tribute to the creator’s alma mater.

Hoagy Carmichael

Tucked between the Auditorium and IU Cinema sits a statue of Hoagy Carmichael — his metal fingers still plucking out a melody on his piano. As one of the college’s most

famous alumni, Carmichael composed one of his most famous songs “Starlight” at IU. His song “Chimes of Indiana” became an IU anthem, and although Carmichael died in 1981, his legacy lives on through his statue.

Designed by Michael McAuley, the statue was completed in 2008 and is an important part of campus. Often students strolling by will see Carmichael decorated for the Auditorium’s latest show.

Elinor Ostrom

Although the first woman graduated from IU in 1869, female alumna had to wait until 2020 for a statue of their own. Michael McAuley’s second IU statue shows groundbreaking Nobel prize winner Elinor Ostrom seated on a bench outside of Woodburn Hall.

Her mouth is thrown open in a laugh and her eyes crinkle as if she is laughing with a friend.

Ostrom was the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Economics and founded the Ostrom Workshop in Political Theory and Political Analysis along with her husband. She inspired several generations of young women at IU.

Alfred Kinsey

Placed near the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction, Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey is honored with a bronze statue. It was designed by Melanie Cooper Pennington, a lecturer in sculpture in the IU Eskenazi School of Art, Architecture + Design

Kinsey was an American biologist and IU professor and who is praised for his groundbreaking research in human sexuality.

REVIEW: ‘Kinsey’ explores a life of famous IU professor

By Lilly Luse liluse@iu.edu

The 2004 biopic film, “Kinsey” takes an empathetic approach to Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey’s lifespanning work, pursuit of truth and captures the controversy surrounding his research amid the 1940s and 1950s. It is a fascinating look into the Kinsey Institute as an important part of IU’s history — Herman B Wells, beloved chancellor of Indiana University is even represented in the film — that is still surrounded by controversy even today.

Kinsey began his career as an assistant professor of zoology at IU. His students’ lack of knowledge about sex and the misinformation they had been taught alarmed him. He decided to use his data collection methods from his work studying gall wasps to publish scientific research about sex. He assembled a team of researchers who conducted frank and detailed interviews with people across America about their sexual histories.

The question “Am I normal?” repeats throughout the interview. Kinsey’s early finding in the film is that the shame that surrounded sex was because people had no conception of what other people were doing, what was “normal.”

In a moment at the height of his fame he states to the press, “Everybody’s crime is nobody’s crime.” He believed that the only irreducible fact of nature was diversity and variations, and he believed the same applied for human sexual

expression. As depicted in the film, much of Kinsey’s work led to the decriminalization of homosexuality and stigma surrounding queer identity.

Liam Neeson, who stars as Kinsey, depicts him as relentlessly devoted to his work, and this

objective scientific manner often causes social friction, but beneath his steady devotion to his research is an underlying compassion and kindness.

In a particularly moving scene after Kinsey’s research funding has been slashed and his reputation dragged through the mud, he interviews a woman who shares that after reading his book, she felt able to confess to a female friend her true romantic feelings after years of shame and self-hatred. To her delight, the feeling was mutual, and the two had been together for three years. Taking Kinsey’s hand, she says that he saved her life. It is a moment of realization for Kinsey as he begins to understand the effects of such groundbreaking work, work that has paved the way for queer liberation today.

Despite all the progress and monumentally important work Kinsey has achieved, his work is still under threat. Only a year ago, the Indiana General Assembly prohibited the use of state funds for the Kinsey Institute.

The film explores a complete and complex portrait of Kinsey as both a man and a monumentally important scientific figure. It serves as a reminder of how this life-changing research must continue despite fierce opposition even today.

What is the oldest building on IU’s campus?

By Joey Sills sillsj@iu.edu

Walking through IU’s Old Crescent, near the Sample Gates, one notices that most of the buildings are made out of Indiana limestone. Buildings such as Franklin Hall, Lindley Hall and the Student Build ing, for example, each share a distinctive pale coloring. How ever, two stand out: Wylie and Owen Halls, both of which are made out of red brick. One would be forgiven if they wondered just why this is the case.

Well, the story is quite simple on the surface — these two buildings, both constructed in 1884, are the oldest two buildings on IU’s campus. It’s easy to presume, then, that they were simply built before a uniquely Indiana aesthetic was decided upon. And, in a way, this is true — what is left out, however, is that these two buildings are specifically the oldest on what we can call the current IU campus.

In 1820, only four years after the state was admitted to the union, the Indiana General Assembly enacted the establishment of a “state seminary,” a generic term that refers to a school that trains students to be priests or ministers. Con-

struction began with the Seminary Building and the President’s House two years later, on a plot of land now known as Seminary Square; today, this site hosts a Kroger, among other stores.

In 1829, Andrew Wylie, who had studied theology and

divinity in Pennsylvania, was invited to be the college’s first president. During his time here, he also taught subjects as diverse as philosophy, economics and literature. Along the way, the seminary became Indiana College and, in 1838, Indiana University.

Wylie died in 1851, which meant he never saw the destruction of the first campus in a fire and the subsequent rebuilding in the Dunn’s Woods area of Bloomington. It’s fitting that one of the two buildings first constructed on this campus was named after him, and it’s also fitting that it today holds the Department of Economics. Interestingly enough, however, it originally held the chemistry library and featured a spire and tower — however, in an event eerily reminiscent of the original campus, the tower burnt down and instead a third-story was constructed.

Owen Hall, then, was named after Richard Owen, an early Indiana State Geologist and IU professor; in a twist of fate, Owen would later become the first president of Purdue University, which also houses a brick building named after him. Originally home to the college’s natural science department, today Owen Hall simply houses College of Arts and Sciences administrative offices.

IU has a history that spans years before the land you’ve walked on was ever more than a forest. And these two buildings, Owen Hall and Wylie Hall, showcase so much of it.

Discover IU’s rumored haunted locations

By Jack Davis jjd5@iu.edu

IU was founded over 200 years ago and in that time, the campus has accumulated its fair share of legends about Hoosier hauntings. It isn’t hard to find someone on cam-

pus with a ghost story. Many dorms, fraternities and classroom buildings have spooky tales and scary ghost sightings.

By the Indiana Memorial Union, you will find a cemetery. The Dunn Cemetery is almost as old as our campus and is the resting place of the Dunn

family. According to some, the graveyard is haunted by Agnes, who is believed to be a Dunn family member. Known as Lady in Black, she tended to soldiers and is believed to rise at midnight to continue her work, going grave to grave.

Agnes isn’t the only woman

in black walking the streets of Bloomington. On Third Street, you may encounter The Woman in Black, known to follow unsuspecting campus travelers — reports of her wandering at night with her face covered by a veil dating back to 1911. According to legend, she would

hide behind a tree when the walkers noticed her. And when they did a second take, she’d be gone.

e Indiana Memorial Union is a place with many haunts. Ghosts of students and even a ghost dog have been said to roam the halls of the Indiana Memorial Union. e ghosts are not suspected to be

malicious, but rather, happy spirits. But even pleasant spirits can scare a person. One maintenance worker shared that he noticed a shadowy gure in a re ection and freaked out, but when he turned around, he saw nothing. However, it was followed by a soft voice that sounded like chanting.

My personal favorite and maybe the scariest story revolves around IU’s Owen Hall. As the story goes, in its early years, the building housed cadavers on the third oor. A few guys decided to pull a mean prank on one of their friends and hung a severed arm on the ceiling light. After a few hours, they hadn’t

heard a scream or any other reaction. ey checked on her and found her gnawing on the arm while rocking back and forth.

ese are just some of IU’s ghost stories and legends. While on campus, you might visit some of these locations and perhaps spot something spooky for yourself.

Best places to take pictures around campus

By Caitlyn Kulczycki ckulczy@iu.edu

IU’s campus is a beautiful area throughout all four seasons, and there are many spots on campus to take scenic photos.

Sample Gates

One of the most popular spots is the Sample Gates, located right at the end of Kirkwood Avenue. This scenic landmark is hard to miss, not only because it is situated front and center on campus, but because it’s also the same gates featured on almost every postcard sent from IU. The gates, made from limestone, are led up to by cobblestone walkways and surrounded by vibrant flowers all year around.

Sample Gates is a great place to photograph and represent Indiana’s campus.

Showalter Fountain

Another beautiful spot to snap a photo is the Showalter Fountain. Located in the center of the Fine Arts Plaza, this artistic fountain was inspired by the birth of Venus. It features a large statue of Venus draped across a clamshell, encircled by fish which spout water in the warmer months. Around the fountain are benches for enjoying the sights, and flowers planted to accentuate the beauty of the area.

Rose Well House

The Rose Well House is another frequently admired spot,

and happens to be one of the oldest structures on campus. Placed near the front of campus, the small house is surrounded by luscious trees and cobblestone walkways. It is a delightful place to observe all throughout the year, with the different seasons emphasizing the allure of the house. Its naturalistic and antiquated charm make for an aesthetic photo and an overall pleasant location to be in.

Dunn Meadow

Located just outside the Indiana Memorial Union, Dunn Meadow boasts its outdoor scenery, and is a great area for capturing photos. This area is outlined by trees, surrounded by greenery and includes a small stream running through

it. It reveals stunning colors in the autumn, and is a scenic yet nearby getaway from the hustle and bustle of college life. In the warmer months, it’s often filled with picnic blankets and mingling students out enjoying nature.

Eskenazi Museum of Art

Lastly, the outdoor wall of the Eskenazi Museum of Art is scenic in its simplicity, and makes for an even more dramatic photo when visited at night. Once it’s dark, the outdoor wall is illuminated in multi-colored lighting that creates a magnificent sight. It’s a great place to strike a pose or even just photograph on its own, and it can be very unique in its colorful nighttime brilliance.

The Sample Gates are seen Feb. 6, 2024, in Bloomington. The Sample Gates were dedicated to the IU-Bloomington campus in 1987 and have been a notable place for students and visitors to take pictures.

At the Eskenazi Museum, everything is art, including the building itself

By Nadia Scharf njscharf@iu.edu

What do the Louvre pyramid, the East Building of the National Gallery of Art and IU’s Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Museum of Art have in common?

They were all designed by the same person: I. M. Pei, a 20th century Chinese-American architect. Unlike the Louvre or the National Gallery, however, the Eskenazi Museum of Art is completely free and ready-to-visit in the heart of IU’s campus.

IU’s Fine Arts Building opened its collection of art, gathered by Herman B Wells, in 1962. As the collection grew, it became clear the campus needed a museum. Pei’s design was unveiled in 1982, and serves as a sibling to his Louvre and National Gallery designs. It’s famously rumored to have no right angles, which isn’t quite true. The building is actually made of triangles, with some right angles along floors and on windows, but the design uses “no 90-degree angles

except where necessary,” according to Indiana University.

The museum claims its galleries represent “nearly every art-making culture in the world.” Between three floors, cultural collections include “ancient” art with objects dating back to 30,000 BCE; Asian art; African, Oceanian and Indigenous art; and European and American art. There are also collections for prints, drawings, photographs and for

contemporary art.

If that isn’t enough, the museum also offers rotating featured exhibitions. Past exhibits have ranged from photography, such as September 2023’s “Measuring Time: The Photographs of Jeffrey A. Wolin,” historical use of different mediums, such as August 2023’s “Landscape and Abstraction in Watercolor, 1780–1980” or even art of historical significance, such as September

2022’s “The Degenerate Art Exhibition: 85 Years Later.”

In addition to the art, the museum also has a gift shop and cafe. Located on the second floor (up those treacherous not-right angle staircases) is the Luzetta and Del Newkirk Café and Gift Shop. The cafe features local Brown County Coffee, and the gift shop offers Eskenazi collection-inspired souvenirs. You can sip your coffee inside the sunny atrium or, if it’s warm, outside on the museum’s patio.

The Eskenazi Museum boasts over 45,000 objects in its collection and is one of the largest art holdings of any American university art museum. Still, it’s focused on connecting with visitors.

Guided tours are often offered, as well as other community events such as movie screenings and discussion, drawing and painting workshops and sketching tours. Check the calendar online for what’s coming up! There are also opportunities for field trips and other school-age activities.

What’s up with the Vault Pub?

By Marissa Meador marnmead@iu.edu

Last September, IU debuted a brand-new offering at the Indiana Memorial Union: The Vault Pub. But what exactly does this campus eatery offer? The IDS has the answers.

The menu

True to its name, the Vault Pub specializes in sandwiches, appetizers and drinks. Highlights include pork tenderloin, a half-pound burger with meat from nearby Fischer Farms and vegetarian offerings like the Beyond Burger and the Falafel Burger, which comes with vegan feta and yogurt. Non-sandwich entrees include fish and chips and baked mac and cheese.

Those over 21 can enjoy a selection of beer, wine, cocktails and spirits. Many offerings are local, such as the Hoosier Gameday Lager. The house signature drink, Ol’ Red, features bone snapper rye whiskey, bitters, grenadine and simple syrup, garnished with a maraschino cherry and fresh orange.

Beyond fountain drinks, coffee, milk and iced tea, those under 21 can enjoy a Shirley Temples.

The activities

Each Thursday until Feb. 29, the pub will feature jazz musicians from the Jacobs School of Music from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and trivia from 8:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Sports fans can also watch

the Hoosiers play while eating at the pub.

The logistics

If you wanted to start your week at the Pub, bad news: — the restaurant is closed Sunday and Monday. However, you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy it the rest of the week from with hours of 4 p.m. to -10 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and a midnight close on Friday and Saturday.

Menu prices at the Vault are midrange. Entrees cap-out at $15.99 while drinks will run you $4.50 to $16 per serving. Kids’ meals cost $8.99.

The Pub will also validate your parking if you park in IMU Lots 1 and 2. Make sure to show your ticket to your host or server.

Ten firsts through IU history

By Isaac Perlich iperlich@iu.edu | @isaacperlich

Pamela Whitten was inaugurated as IU’s 19th and first female president on Nov. 4, 2021, but there have been plenty of firsts in the university’s history spanning over two centuries. Here is a look back at 10 of them.

First days

IU was first founded as State Seminary in 1820. The original campus was located by South College Avenue and Second Street, known as Seminary Square. Classes began in 1825 with 10 male students.

First president

State Seminary was renamed Indiana College in 1828. Andrew Wylie was inaugurated as the

and the college was renamed Indiana University under Wylie’s leadership.

First graduating class

IU’s first graduating class included four students: James Wilson Dunn, Michael Hummer, James Rollins and William Hamilton Stockwell. They graduated in 1830.

First female graduate

Sarah Park Morrison was the first female to graduate from IU with a bachelor’s of arts degree in 1869 and earned her master’s of arts degree three years later.

First African American graduate

Marcellus Neal became IU’s first African American graduate, earning a bachelor’s of arts

live on campus. He served as a teacher in Dallas, Texas, for 25 years.

First performance of “Indiana, Our Indiana”

IU’s fight song, “Indiana, Our Indiana” was first performed at an IU versus Northwestern University football game in 1912. It was written by IU band director Russell Harker.

First men’s basketball national championship

IU men’s basketball team won its first of five national championships in 1940. Coached by Branch McCracken, IU defeated the University of Kansas 60-42.

First Little 500

Then-IU President Howdy

1950. Wilcox, whose father won the Indianapolis 500 in 1919, decided to hold the first Little 500 a year later to raise scholarship money for students.

First IU Dance Marathon

Jill Stewart started the IU Dance Marathon in 1991 to honor her friend, Ryan White, who passed away from an acquired immunodeficiency syndrome after receiving a blood transfusion. The organization holds a 36-hour event each fall and raises money for Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.

First IU Day

The first IU Day was held on April 12, 2016, to honor the university and those associated with it. Festivities include wearing IU gear, using #IUDay on so-

Hoosier Hollywood: IU’s features in the mainstream

By Jack Forrest jhforres@iu.edu | @byjackforrest

Although Bloomington is over 2,000 miles away from Hollywood, IU still makes appearances in pop culture. Here are six times the university showed up in film, TV or music.

“Breaking Away”

Perhaps the most prominent on-screen depiction of IU, “Breaking Away” is a 1979 coming-of-age film set and filmed in Bloomington. It follows four local teenagers participating in the Little 500 cycling race in the old Memorial Stadium.

Many Bloomington and campus locations appear, such as Rooftop Quarry, the Monroe County Courthouse, the restaurant that is now Siam House, Dunn’s Woods, Rose Well House and the Indiana Memorial Union. Then-IU President John W. Ryan also makes an appearance as himself.

“Breaking Away” received the 1979 Academy Award for best original screenplay.

“Parks and Recreation”

While IU doesn’t appear in “Parks and Recreation,” the 2009 NBC comedy, it is referenced throughout the series.

In Season 1, Ron Swanson, the show’s curmudgeonly boss, has a portrait of former IU basketball coach Bob Knight in his office. Later, Swanson dresses like and emulates Knight while coaching a youth basketball team in the Season 3 premiere.

In Season 6, Episode 3, parks department employee April Ludgate attends orientation for veterinary school at IU- Bloomington — a program that doesn’t exist.

In the series finale, protagonist Leslie Knope gives a com-

mencement speech to IU graduates during a flash forward, and the university announces they are naming the library after her. The move would have likely proved controversial, as the library is currently named after the first IU Chancellor Herman B Wells.

“Stranger Things”

Like “Parks and Recreation,” “Stranger Things” is a show only set in Indiana — it is filmed mainly in Georgia, and the town of Hawkins doesn’t exist. However, a couple of Hoosier connections exist in the show’s second season.

In Season 2, Episode 5, the super powered character Eleven travels to meet her birth moth-

er, Terry Ives, and aunt at their home. In the tie-in novel, “Stranger Things: Suspicious Minds,” the location is revealed to be in Bloomington. Additionally, Ives attended IU and first got involved with “Project MKUltra” there, the program that gave Eleven her powers.

Avicii’s “The Nights” music video

The music video for Avicii’s hit “The Nights” was directed by and stars Rory Kramer, an Indiana native. Multiple locations around campus appear in the video, including during Kramer’s cliff jump at Rooftop Quarry and in a photo in front of Sample Gates. The video has over 900 million views on YouTube.

John Mellencamp’s “A Ride Back Home” music video

Hoosier and Bloomington resident John Mellencamp is spotted often around town, but his connection to IU was put to screen in his 2009 music video for “A Ride Back Home.” It was shot in the Beck Chapel on campus and features shots inside and of the cemetery outside.

‘I can be myself in a small town’

John Mellencamp’s legacy will be cemented

in

stone a statue at IU.

By Elizabeth Bowling elibowli@iu.edu

In one of John Mellencamp’s most famous songs, he sings of his love for small towns and the place where he was born. That small town in question, Seymour, is only an hour away from Bloomington.

Mellencamp hasn’t been shy about his love for Bloomington — he lives in the community and residents have often seen him and his family out and about. Mellencamp has also played sold out concerts at the IU Auditorium.

Mellencamp has shown his affection for Indiana University publicly as well. On March 3, 2023, he partnered with IU to host the Indiana University Mellencamp Symposium. At the event IU

President Pamela Whitten announced that Mellencamp donated archives of his life and work to the university.

According to a press release, the collections in the archive are extensive, including photographs of Mellencamp, instruments he has played, original works and other significant memorabilia like items related to his activism and philanthropy. In the press release, Whitten reflected on Mellencamp’s influence on IU, Bloomington and American culture.

“John’s impact on music and American culture is immense,” Whitten said in the press release. “On behalf of Hoosiers everywhere, I am exceptionally proud of John’s lifelong association with IU and deeply grateful to him for selecting the university as

the permanent home for his archives.”

Additionally, Mellencamp is working with the Eskenazi Museum of Art to create an exhibit displaying his paintings. He has been painting since 1980 and his work has been featured across the nation.

Bob Guccione Jr., the publisher of a book detailing Mellencamp’s art, said in a press release that Mellencamp’s paintings showed his endless talent was not limited to music.

“Although we may primarily know Mellencamp as a rock star, one of the highest-selling of all time and a Hall of Famer, he is also a great painter,” Guccione Jr. said in the press release. “Not a musician who also paints... no, John legitimately belongs

in the modern art pantheon.”

As such, John and Michelle Vickery, Randy Hoffman, Allen Grubman and other anonymous donors have felt it only fitting that Mellencamp’s legacy lives on as a piece of art on the campus he loves. A statue of Mellencamp will stand near the Fine Arts Plaza, reminding IU students of where art can take them.

While an artist has not yet been chosen to design the statue, whoever is chosen will show the strength of the connection between Bloomington and Mellencamp. As Mellencamp himself wrote, “I can be myself in a small town . . . and that’s where they’ll probably bury me.” With the new statue, Mellencamp will live on forever in the small town he has chosen as his home.

What did IU look like during World War II?

By Arnaav Anand arnanand@iu.edu

Over eight decades ago, Indiana University underwent significant academic and campus transformations during World War II under President Herman B Wells, emerging as a crucial contributor to the war effort.

As international tensions escalated, IU took steps to prepare its students for military service.

The Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program saw increased enrollment and required two years of military training for every physically fit male student.

ROTC enrollment rose from 1,397 in fall 1937 to 1,705 in fall 1938. University students enrolled in medical and dental schools, aged 18 to 45, formed the Medical Corps and were exempt from military service.

IU offered specialized courses in radio operations and cryptography. The State Police Recruit School began teaching subjects like espionage, sabotage and subversive activities.

The National Youth Administration offered a typing course because the military considered it valuable. By 1940, 1,232 IU students were registered for the draft.

Following the Pearl Harbor

enrollments, especially among minority students, who were accommodated in private homes and fraternity housing.

attack, the Indiana Daily Student published an extra edition to inform the campus community. From then on, the Union Building saw crowds gathering around radios to listen to war bulletins, with some students bringing portable radios to their classes.

For students mandated to enlist for military duty between Dec. 7 and the semester end, the university administration guaranteed full credit, provided they maintained passing grades.

In 1942, the university adopted a three-semester academic plan for students to graduate early, ensuring a steady supply of trained recruits.

The IU male student population plummeted from 3,580 in 1940 to 830 in 1944, a 75% decrease. The all-male University Band became evenly divided between male and female participants. Additionally, both the IDS and the Arbutus yearbook were predominantly operated by women at this time. Social activities such as dances and homecoming events were suspended.

By July 1942, North Hall became a makeshift vessel to accommodate 1,200 navy yeomen, transforming study rooms into cabins and repurposing facilities into a naval training hub. Insufficient facilities initially hindered housing for recruits, but creative solutions like bunk beds and repurposed storage spaces accommodated all 1200 yeomen. The housing challenges piled on due to increased program

In spring 1943, IU signed a contract with the US Army for the Army Specialized Training Program, necessitating further housing adjustments. However, a decline in fresh recruits led to the discontinuation of the Naval Training Station by June 1944 after training over 5,000 individuals.

Beyond military training, IU civilians contributed to the war effort through initiatives like Victory Gardens and volunteer work. Each weekend, hundreds of IU students, predominantly women, boarded buses for a 35mile journey to the Crane Naval Ammunition Depot, where they sorted materials and replenished shell casings.

IU became the first university to enroll veterans into the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944, which provided veterans benefits such as low-cost mortgage rates and loan guar-

antees to purchase homes, loans to start new businesses, compensation for one year of unemployment and full coverage for educational tuition and living expenses.

In the fall 1945, returning veterans sparked significant growth at the university, with a total of 2,895 veterans enrolled by the end of the spring 1946 semester, and a projected enrollment of 4,200 veterans for the fall 1946 semester.

As the war wrapped up by October 1945, campus activities resumed and returning veterans brought new perspectives, enriching the university community and shaping its trajectory in the post-war era.

From college romance to saying ‘I do’ at IU

IU alumni Tori Sauer and Greg Price went from strangers to getting married in Bloomington

By Vaishnavi Banala bbanala@iu.edu

Back in 2012, then-IU student Tori Sauer did not want a boyfriend during her freshman year. However, everything changed when her friend introduced her to thenIU student Greg Price. e two went from complete strangers to hanging out every day.Price said that by the time they had their rst real date at Malibu Grill they already felt they were dating.

“I knew we were serious after being apart for spring break,” he said. “We missed each other so much.”

Sauer and Price’s relationship underwent a new chapter after graduation as they followed

separate career paths. Sauer accepted a marketing position in Indianapolis while Price sought a nancial career in Chicago.

eir a ection for each other remained unbroken, despite the obstacles of distance.

“We knew that we had something special, and we were determined to make it work despite the distance,” Sauer said. “We visited each other as often as we could and made sure to communicate regularly.”

In 2018, Price proposed to Sauer. She said she had no idea that her weekend would take this unexpected turn with a grand proposal at the Como Park Zoo & Conservatory in Minneapolis. After informing Sauer he was not visiting that

weekend, Price teamed up with Sauer’s friend to surprise her. He planned for the two of them to have their nails done while telling Sauer that he wouldn’t be visiting that weekend. Sauer, sending a fun message to Price about her newly painted nails, unintentionally set the stage for the unexpected proposal that awaited her.

Finally, in November 2018, Sauer and Price exchanged vows in Bloomington where they met for the rst time.

Returning to Bloomington for our wedding felt like going full circle.”

Sauer and Price’s wedding was full of surprises, laughter and love, marking the start of a lifetime of shared experiences and adventures. eir tale exempli es the power of spontaneity, love, and the joy that comes with sharing life’s most precious moments with those closest to you.

A sneak peek at the ‘World’s Greatest College Weekend’

By Matt Rudella mrudella@iu.edu | @mattrudellaIDS

When the calendar gets to April, a special buzz swirls around Indiana University ahead of Little 500 weekend.

The sun finally starts to come out, the speakers are blaring on almost every corner and previous obligations are thrown to the side for what has been called “The World’s Greatest College Weekend.”

For those unfamiliar with the festivities, the Little 500 is a fourperson cycling race comprised of IU students, where more than 25,000 people come to Bloomington and gather at Bill Armstrong Stadium for the breathtaking races.

The action will commence on Thursday night with IU football’s spring game at 8 p.m, April 18. The spring game marks the first page in a new chapter for Hoosier football under newly hired head coach Curt Cignetti, with many new faces looking to turn the tide in 2024.

The Little 500 races begin with the women’s 100-lap at 4 p.m, Friday, April 19. Melanzana cycling will look to defend its crown after posting a 1:12:23.66 in 2023. However, it’s never easy to win a race in front of a crowd at Bill Armstrong Stadium.

The Little 500 crowds are notorious for their raucous behavior, with jeers and boos constantly following bike transitions, trying to distract

the riders from executing. A bad bike pass could lead to the crowd dominating the scene and putting the finishing blow on a team. The race is also filled with boisterous cheers as teams circle the home bleachers, with the crowd decked out in their team’s apparel as they support their friends.

When Saturday rolls around, the partying starts early and doesn’t let up, with the fans in high spirits for a day months in the making. Many of the fans will flock to Kirkwood Avenue for bars and restaurants, starting at 7 a.m. with Kilroy’s Bar and Grill’s famous breakfast club.

The fun times continue with block parties and tailgates

throughout the day, where it becomes a challenge to go multiple blocks on campus without seeing a pong table. The men’s 200-lap will start at 2 p.m. with CUTTERS looking to continue their dominant stretch of winning three times in the last five years after posting a 2:15:28.61 in 2023.

There’s no doubt Little 500 is one of the biggest traditions in Bloomington, and something IU students and alumni cherish. The atmosphere in the stadium and town makes Bloomington feel larger than life and creates a special memory for all that partake. Keep April 19-20 free on the calendar as the festivities will arrive sooner than anticipated.

A ride through the history of the Little 500

By Jovanni Salazar jsalaza@iu.edu | @jio_duz_it

IU’s Little 500 is one of the premier events the campus has to o er, with “ e World’s Greatest College Weekend” being held annually on the third week of April.

e Little 500 attracts more than 25,000 people to Bloomington annually and is known as the largest bicycle race in the country. But before the race gained this popularity and reputation, it was originally an event to honor a loved one.

e rst race was held in 1951, but the story of the Little 500 started in 1919 when Howard Wilcox won the famous Indianapolis 500. A year later, his son Howard “Howdy” Wilcox Jr. was born. Wilcox Sr. died years later in a racing accident, leaving Howdy as an orphan as his mother also passed away two years before. Years later, Wilcox Jr. would see something that gave him an idea that would bring the school closer together and honor his father.

In 1950, Wilcox Jr. was

strolling around campus and saw a group of students who were racing with bicycles. is moment sparked the idea of a university cycling race, and as the director of the IU Foundation, he decided to take this idea to the IU Student Foundation.

Wilcox Jr.’s pitch was that this race could be used to raise scholarship money for working students. Wilcox Jr. also saw this as an opportunity to grow consistent support for the foundation. He decided to name it the Little 500, emulating

the Indianapolis 500 which his father won.

e South Hall Buccaneers won the rst-ever Little 500 on May 12, 1951, with Sigma Alpha Epsilon nishing second and Phi Gamma Delta in third. e race originally consisted of only male students, but over time the interest amongst women began to increase.

is growing interest led to Kappa Alpha eta, a sorority on campus, nishing in 34th place in the 1987 quali cation trials. It did not make the nal roster as only 33 teams make it to the race,

but this achievement caught the eye of Phyllis Klotman, who was the dean of women’s a airs at the time.

Klotman proposed the idea of a separate race for women and it was quickly established.

e rst Women’s Little 500 was held in 1988 with Willkie Sprint nishing in rst and Kappa Alpha eta right behind them in second.

Kappa Alpha eta leads the all time win column for the women’s race, totalling eight victories in its long history. Meanwhile, Cutters is the reigning winner of the men’s race, and has a record 15 wins since its debut in 1984. e team name was inspired by the movie “Breaking Away,”, which features a group of teenagers who participated in the Little 500 and named themselves the Cutters.

e 2024 Little 500 features the 36th women’s edition of the race and the 73rd edition of the men’s race. e women’s race will be at 4 p.m. on April 19 while the men’s race will be at 2 p.m. on April 20. Both races will take place at Bill Armstrong Stadium.

Bob Knight’s lasting legacy in Indiana

By Will Foley wtfoley@iu.edu | @foles24

Bob Knight is synonymous with Indiana basketball. e Hoosiers coaching legend accumulated one of basketball’s most impressive resumes in his 29 seasons at Indiana, and his impact on the program, state and national landscape has yet to be forgotten — and it never will.

When Knight passed on Nov. 1, 2023, at the age of 83, it sent shockwaves throughout Bloomington. e General commanded every room he walked in, every team he coached and every community he helped serve, but he had served his nal duties and was called to rest.

When Knight arrived at IU in 1971, the Hoosiers were a wellrespected program with two National Championships. When he

left in 2000, Indiana was an annual contender for national titles — a “blue blood” of the sport.

Knight won more than any coach in the Hoosiers’ illustrious history, before or since. He claimed three National Championships, 11 Big Ten Championships and an NIT title with Indiana. Additionally, he won one of the country’s greatest honors — an Olympic gold medal in 1984.

Knight was more than a basketball coach, however, but a leader of men. He placed a strong emphasis on academics, claiming a 98% graduation rate for his players. He fostered relationships with his players and developed them past their Indiana careers, most notably Landon Turner after his paralysis.

e General’s successes, expressive sideline antics and rugged but rewarding coaching

style created an army of Hoosier faithfuls. e Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame motto says, “In 49 states, it’s just basketball... is is Indiana,” and under Knight’s guidance, Indiana’s fan base became known for what it remains to this day — one of the most passionate followings in all levels of basketball.

Upon Knight’s ring in 2000, he spoke to the IU student body one nal time, addressing a crowd of over 6,000 — a testament to Knight’s strong support. He bid his farewell and asked for the best for him and his family, and in an instant, the Knight era was over.

Over the next two decades, Knight hardly addressed his time at IU. He went on to coach Texas Tech University for seven seasons, where he became the then-all-time leader in Division

I coaching wins with 902 victories.

Still, Indiana never gave up on Knight. He was largely favored within the fan base and Hoosier fans had no problem expressing their appreciation and support for him. Knight wouldn’t admit it at the time, but he was always going to be a Hoosier.

However, on Feb. 8, 2020, everything came full circle. At halftime against in-state rival Purdue, a hoard of former Indiana players were announced and honored at midcourt. en, Bob Knight emerged from the tunnel.

Simon Sjkodt Assembly Hall erupted. e sold-out crowd of 17,222 rained down chants of “Bobby! Bobby!” e General returned home where he belonged.

The Indiana Hoosiers’ mascot journey

By Edie Schwarb Eschwarb@iu.edu | @edieschwarb

Indiana University does not lack symbols: the iconic trident, the historic Sample Gates and the picturesque red clocks adorning IU websites and advertisements. But there is the de nitive absence of a symbol in the form of a mascot — a gure to represent the famed Hoosiers.

Indiana is not devoid of e ort, however, for this to change. roughout the 20th century, a push for a physical mascot to serve as the image of IU spurred many suggestions and some short-term solutions.

e string of temporary mascots started with an owl in 1908 (Hoo, Hoo, Hoo, Hoosiers!) and was shortly followed by a raccoon in 1909.

en-athletic trainer “Bernie” Bernstein’s toddler son represented Indiana in 1912, and a golden eagle nicknamed Jim Watson served a stint in 1916. Lack of support from students and fans alike put an end to their brief mascot careers.

Two dogs stole the hearts of Hoosiers, with a collie serving as IU’s mascot in 1935 and a fraternity bulldog named Ox almost earning the job in 1959.

Ox belonged to the eta Chi house, but didn’t quite make the cut to represent the university.

After over 40 years of failed attempts, IU adopted a promising gure: the bison. An animal once native to Bloomington and showcased on the Indiana state seal, the bison was voted by the student senate to serve as the o cial mascot in 1965.

Around this time, Nick’s English Hut also chose a bison to serve as the icon for its business. Alas, its use of the bi-

son withstood the test of time, while IU’s phased out after four years. While the mascot was popular, obtaining a live bison for the sidelines was not an option; and the costume was so hot and restrictive, no student wanted to step up and wear it.

Since the discontinuation of the bison, some Hoosiers continue to advocate for a mascot. After all, it’s easier to answer the frequently asked question, “What is a Hoosier?” when there’s something to physically attribute it to.

eories about the origin of the term Hoosiers referring to people in Indiana are plentiful, with everyone from a visitor, a contractor and a poet having said to hold responsibility for coining the term. e rst use of the word at IU occurred in 1923, when the football team was nicknamed the “Scrapping Hoosiers.”

While the history of the Hoosiers is somewhat shrouded in folklore, there is no lack of pride in the school and teams bearing that name — with or without a mascot.
