____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>The Union Board executive team made cuts across all programming committees’ proposals this year after receiving a less-than-expected budget from the Committee for Fee Review.Evan Farrell, UB president, said the student-run organization expected to receive around $400,000 for the fiscal year, which runs from August to July, but instead received around $50,000 less.“The student activity fee is divided between organizations,” Farrell said, “and we get a certain allocation every two years from the Committee for Fee Review. This year, we got about 50 cents less per student.”But as the new Union Board administration takes over in January, budgeting issues will not be a problem, Farrell said.HOW THE PROCESS WORKSEvery other year in March, the Union Board executives send a proposal to the CFR, who then lets them know by April how much the organization will receive for the next two years.At the same time, Union Board goes through a “Big Budget” process in which each of the 13 programming committees proposes its own budget complete with how much money the committee will need for each event it wants to plan between August and July. These proposals include not only events during their term, but also annual events that take place in the spring under a new committee. Though they won’t be there to see the events through, they have to make room for them in the budget.For the 2011—12 fiscal year, the lectures committee proposed a budget of $54,950 for programs to be held during the committee’s fall term, as well as the spring committee’s term. They received $118,200, a difference of $22,315. But that doesn’t mean they spent all $118,000.Each event has to have a line-by-line budget passed by the executive team, Farrell said, that outlines every expense for the event.“Typically, events run lower than budgeted,” he said. “We then put money back into the general pool.”WHERE YOUR MONEY GOESMost events throughout the school year are planned for in Big Budget, including lectures, leadership, auxiliaries, canvas, comedy, performing arts, films and more.Funding for events not planned in Big Budget comes from the general account, which was allotted $101,236 in the March budget summary and receives leftover funds from completed events. These remaining funds are also turned over to the incoming Union Board in January, an amount usually around $75,000, to use for their own programs.When events go over their budgeted funds, money to make up for their losses is taken from a reserve account, Farrell said.The reserve account takes in profits from concerts and other ticketed programs, which are planned to break even, Farrell said.For the Lil Wayne concert in April, Union Board paid the artist $700,000 to perform, which was twice as much as the organization received in funding. But none of the artist’s fees came from the budget. Instead, the organizers determined how much funding would be needed for the artist’s and other expenses, and then developed a proposal for how many tickets had to be sold to break even. At an average ticket price of $75.04, they needed to sell 11,000 tickets. They sold 14,000, making about $40,000 in profit that went to the reserves.When Union Board lost money on the Sarah Silverman show, funds were taken from the reserve to make up for the loss, preventing them from using student funds to pay for their mistakes.But whether students know where their activity fee money goes or not, Farrell said he believes Union Board’s programs give them opportunities no other organizations can.“We want to help make the student experience a stronger college experience as much as possible,” he said.

____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Democracy looked like a group of about 50 protesters marching the wrong way on College Avenue to the Justice Building on Saturday. As they streamed past cars that changed lanes or stopped, they chanted.“Show me what democracy looks like.”“This is what democracy looks like.”“Whose streets?”“Our streets.”Saturday’s march led Occupy Bloomington protesters from their makeshift home in Peoples Park to the old courthouse on the square, the Justice Building and back. At the front of the line, six Occupy Bloomington “radical cheerleaders” led the chants. “G-R-E-E-D. Corporations don’t fool me. You greedy, yeah, yeah, you greedy.”It was the first march they cheered at, said protester and cheerleader BW, who declined to give her full name. They’d had practice in the park and wrote all the cheers together. They dressed in red and black — BW’s outfit complete with a red Christmas bow on her back — unintentionally mimicking sorority rush participants’ color scheme. “I think they subconsciously wanted to be radical cheerleaders,” BW said. Before the march, groups of girls participating in rush walked past the park.“Come march with us,” Logan Flores, an Ivy Tech Community College student, yelled at one group. From the middle, one girl yelled, “Hi” back.“Why do you hate me right now?” Flores said as the girl passed.“I hate you all the time, Logan,” she responded.“Is it because you’re in front of your friends?”She smiled, shook her head no and kept walking.In front of the Justice Building, Flores stood on the sidewalk behind the other protesters as they chanted, “Free all the prisoners.”“I’ll stay out of that one,” he said. “Free most of the prisoners.”With the Justice Building the last stop, the protesters marched home. As they reached Peoples Park, Occupy IU media liaison Justinian Dispenza stopped to talk to one man filming the march on his phone. Dispenza had walked in the march, calling out to people and offering chai tea. But he had something different to say to the videographer.“I make $14 an hour, took a shower and cut my hair,” he said to the camera, “and I’m still pissed.”“Sometimes it’s important to engage with people who hate you,” he said.
____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>On Nov. 24, nearly six months after Lauren Spierer’s disappearance, the woman behind @NewsOnLaurenS continued to tweet. “Always in our hearts. Love you, Lauren. Mom, Dad & Rebecca. #Thanksgiving #FindLauren”News about the missing 20-year-old had slowed, and fewer people were tweeting about her. But 29,050 people still followed the feed.On a holiday to give thanks, they needed to be reminded one family continued to cope with loss.“A family is incomplete today,” said one of the feed’s retweets. “Hoping 2day inspires some1 to speak up! We want Lauren home for #Christmas! #FindLauren #Hope @NewsOnLaurenS”Social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter have been in use for years, serving mainly as tools to connect people with their friends online. At the time of Lauren’s disappearance, volunteers found a new purpose for social media: spreading information about a missing person to a mass audience. With the assistance of @NewsOnLaurenS and the Spierer family’s official Facebook page, people across the country tuned in to every update on the case and discovered how they could participate in the ongoing searches. While news media conveyed the same information, they often lacked the emotion that attracted people to the case, said Hans Ibold, an assistant professor in the School of Journalism.“What social media can do is provide opportunities to develop a sense of ‘we,’” Ibold said. “I belong to a group, and the group recognizes me, and I recognize the group. And that happens when emotions come into play. That emotional investment is key to getting off the couch and doing something.”Two days after Lauren’s disappearance, the user behind @NewsOnLaurenS — who remains anonymous — searched social media sites for information about the missing student. Her brother attended IU. Her parents were alumni. She wanted to know what she could do to help when search parties were formed. A few Facebook pages existed but no Twitter feeds, and she couldn’t find the information anywhere, she said.With a few shy clicks, she started the Twitter account.As she began tweeting, she made a vow to herself to never let the account be about her. Finding Lauren was the important part, not the person behind it. The anonymous user intended to give the account to Lauren’s parents, but they declined the offer.“At the three-month mark, I had lunch with Charlene and Robbie,” she said. “I went down there and said, ‘Do you want this?’ I didn’t want them to feel like this was something they couldn’t utilize. My mission is to help them in any way possible.”Though tweets allow users to express messages in only 140 characters, Twitter’s control capabilities allowed @NewsOnLaurenS to choose what was tweeted or retweeted. “As the Spierers have seen, Facebook hasn’t been the same for this case,” the user said. “One page was shut down because it grew so out of control. On Facebook, when you become a fan, anybody can say whatever they wanted. It grew into a nasty circle of rumors and speculation.”Seventy percent of active Internet users are on Facebook, Ibold said, so people who know how to use the site effectively can see beneficial results.“For me, using social media did provide these moments of connectedness with her family, other students and other community members that I wasn’t getting from the news,” Ibold said. “And I can’t really explain why, but I think it has to do with those emotions.”It also helps in police cases, though Bloomington Police Department Capt. Joe Qualters could not give specific details on the Lauren Spierer case. For BPD, he said, social media continues to be a valuable tool for law enforcement, allowing officers to monitor people’s actions and thoughts through Facebook and Twitter posts.“It’s amazing what people will reveal about just about anything,” Qualters said. “You can use it as a way to supplement information.”Law enforcement can also use the sites to be proactive and prevent events from happening if they have enough warning, Qualters said. “We can monitor a kid’s Facebook page, and if it says something about shooting up a school, we can deter those types of events,” he said. The user behind @NewsOnLaurenS said utilizing social media was an educational process. After meeting Lauren’s parents, she taught Charlene how to use Twitter.“Lauren was a young, beautiful girl,” she said. “That’s going to captivate an audience anyway. But the Spierers took immediate action. They started findlauren.com immediately, and that was crucial.”As of November, the Twitter account had established 50 leads since the case started, the user said. “It may not have resulted in finding her, but it solved pieces of the puzzle along the way,” she said.
____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Three IU students arrested in Tuesday’s protest at the Kelley School of Business’ Godfrey Graduate Executive Education Center will not be charged, Monroe County Prosecutor Chris Gaal said Wednesday.Protesters in an autonomous group gathered outside a JPMorgan recruitment event to stop interviews, said media liaison and senior Justinian Dispenza. Sitting cross-legged on the floor, the protesters prevented anyone from entering the room.When police arrived at the scene, they advised the protesters to move from the door or they would be arrested for trespassing. After the threat of arrest, most of the protesters sitting in front of the door moved away but continued to protest in the surrounding hallway and stairwell. Three protesters, however, remained.The three were taken into custody, as well as two more who sat down in front of the door following the initial arrests.After asking the protesters to move, members of the IU Police Department arrested the students and two other protesters, said Mark Land, associate vice president for University communications.“They were not arrested because they were protesting,” Land said. “They were arrested because they were keeping other students from using the facilities. They were getting in the way of the educational mission of the University.”Gaal said the University is within its legal rights to remove disruptive persons who are advised of trespass from its property but that the punishment is a matter for IU to handle, not the city.Typically, when IUPD officers make arrests for criminal acts, the offenders are prosecuted by the local court system and are then handed to the prosecutor’s office, Land said. In this case, Gaal said he did not believe the county needed to prosecute.“This was a peaceful demonstration in which no property was damaged nor any person injured,” Gaal said in a statement. “Because this situation did not pose a significant threat to public safety. It does not warrant the expenditure of scarce resources that would result from a criminal prosecution.”The students now face discipline for personal misconduct and will attend a judicial conference, Dean of Students Harold “Pete” Goldsmith said. According to the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct, personal misconduct includes “intentionally obstructing or blocking access to university facilities, property or programs.”If the students disagree with the conference’s decision, Goldsmith said they can go before a hearing commission.“The initial phases will start now,” Goldsmith said. “But in terms of how much time we have left in the semester, I’m not sure if it will be completed.”Possible judicial conference outcomes1. Reprimand and warning2. Disciplinary probation3. Restitution: repaying the cost of property damage by the student4. Participate in a specific program: can include counseling, alcohol education or other program designed to foster civic participation5. Provide a specific service: repair damaged property6. Expulsion from University housing7. Suspension8. Expulsion9. Deferred sanction: an allotted future expulsion timeSource: IU Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct
Muppets reboot a nostalgic trip down memory lane
____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Big Al Carpenter said he would rather beat Purdue University than eat. On Saturday, he will take his 1979 Holiday Bowl ring out of its box in his dresser drawer and don it on the sidelines of the Old Oaken Bucket game. He’ll park his motorized scooter in the North End Zone of Memorial Stadium, the same place he’s sat for every home game but one in the last 30 years. It’s where he can see the whole field.Born with cerebral palsy, Big Al has cheered for IU for nearly 60 years. He loves IU football, and he loves the rivalry game.“Have you seen that Old Oaken Bucket trophy?” he asked. “It’s something worth fighting for.”From his usual spot in the North End Zone, Big Al has supported the team through seven head coaches. Though he never attended the University, he became a volunteer coach in 1973 for former IU Coach Lee Corso, traveling with him to the Holiday Bowl six years later.Big Al’s IU football fan career began at age 5, when he heard his first game on the radio at home in Spencer, Ind. From that moment, he dreamed of playing for IU.“In my house, you never was caught listening to Purdue,” he said. “It was always IU. It’s our state school, for one, and two, I developed a love for IU every time I listened to a game. It meant something to me.”Big Al saw his first game, which was against the University of Iowa, when John Pont was IU’s coach.“It was amazing,” he said. “All the pageantry and everything that went on. I used to tell my mom, one day I’d be on the football team.”It was another game against Iowa that Big Al missed in 2010, the first home game he didn’t attend in 30 years.“I used to have mini-migraines,” he said. “I knew I had to get somewhere where I could get a shot. For me, it was kind of sad because when I woke up the next day and asked who won, we’d lost by a smidgen.”In 1973, when Big Al still used crutches to get around, and Lee Corso led the team, Al hitchhiked from Spencer to attend football practices.“One day, Coach Corso said, ‘You understand people. How would you like to be a part of my staff?’” Big Al said.Big Al remained on staff all 10 years Corso coached. Now, Corso lives in Florida, but Big Al said they’re still best friends.“I have his phone number, and he has mine,” he said. “There are times I wish he was here to talk about anything.”Big Al still attends football practices when he can, making the 30-minute scooter ride from his home in Bloomington down the B-Line Trail on fair-weathered days. But no matter what weather, Big Al will make it to the football games. Those are important. That’s when the team really needs his support.Big Al said he believes the team will win this Saturday. Then again, he believes that about every game. On Oct. 29, he waited for the Homecoming game against Northwestern with the same belief. Two hours before kickoff, Big Al entered the stadium to look across the empty field and mentally prepare, a tradition he has before every game.“I go into the stadium and get psyched up for the game,” he said. “I try to put myself in the players’ shoes. Football is a very intense game. What more can a person ask for than to be a part of something like this?”Minutes before the Homecoming game, Big Al inched forward in his scooter chair and looked toward the double doors, where the team would enter the field.“We’re about ready,” he said. “Here it goes.”One hundred eleven players walked onto the field. Big Al doesn’t know each by name, but he supports every one. One player stopped a few feet from Big Al’s scooter, bent his knees and flexed his arms inward, yelling Big Al’s name before rejoining the team.Big Al smiled.“I try to let the guys know, no matter what, we will prevail,” he said. “You just go and let the kids know you’re not giving up on them.”
____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>A new Internet scam has University Director of Public Safety Jerry Minger and other Protect IU members alarmed. “Robbery by appointment,” a scam most commonly related with Craigslist — a website used to post classified ads in various cities — first came to Minger’s attention when two IU-Purdue University Indianapolis students fell victim to the crime. “What happened to these two students, someone posted an ad on Craigslist that they had property for sale, iPhones or iPads, and when they showed up, they were actually robbed,” Minger said. “I think in both cases, they brought money and were going to buy an iPhone when they had just released the product.”The first robbery took place in a parking lot off campus, the second on West 10th Street in Indianapolis. Both places were public.“It’s not a place where they felt unsafe at all,” Minger said. “In fact, reading some of the articles that were on the Internet, some of these places were within blocks of police stations and court houses.”So far, Minger said he has only heard of one robbery by appointment incident in Bloomington, but it’s a scam that could happen to anyone.Previously, he said one IU student fell victim to a scam when he bought a Mercedes online. “The thieves had taken pictures of it and talked him into he’d get a better deal if you just send me the cash to this bank account,” Minger said. “Then we’ll give you the car and send you the title. The car was never what they said it was. They took a picture of a car that was out on a street.”Minger said students and other Craigslist users should take measures to protect themselves and their items. He has posted tips for Craigslist users on the Protect IU website: protect.iu.edu/news.When meeting someone for a transaction, please remember to:- Insist on a public meeting place where there are plenty of people, better yet, the IUPUI Police parking lot or any police department. If you are dealing with a legitimate buyer, they will not object to the meeting location.- Arrive at the meeting place much earlier than the agreed upon time to avoid being ambushed, especially if you are walking.- Do not meet in a secluded place or invite strangers into your home.- Be especially careful when buying and selling high-value items.- Tell a friend or family member where you are going.- Take your cell phone along, if you have one, to call 911 if necessary.- Consider having a friend accompany you.- Above all, trust your instincts.
When preparing for Christmas, don't forget about Thanksgiving.
____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>Two discussions headlined Occupy IU’s second meeting Tuesday: whether to become an IU-affiliated student organization and what the group’s first step should be.Senior Justinian Dispenza began the first issue by saying he didn’t agree with becoming a student organization, but he believed it was something that should be mentioned.“The pros, though I’m against it personally, are that we can rent rooms on campus, possibly receive student funding and legal tabling,” he said.According to the Student Organizations Handbook, members of a new organization must write a constitution, including the exact phrase “This organization shall comply with all Indiana University regulations, and local, state, and federal laws.”Violations of University regulations might result in loss of student organization benefits and might subject the organization to the Student Organization Ethics Board process, according to the handbook.Possible violations were addressed in the second topic of the meeting: where to go next. Handing out pamphlets and occupying designated spaces for a few hours would not infringe on University policy but occupying Dunn Meadow overnight would.The handbook states that “overnight camping is not a form of expression and, therefore, permission will not be granted to cook or live in overnight structures.”Occupier Joseph Klatt suggested flash occupations in different locations to bring more students into the movement before setting up a permanent tent city in the spring. But Peoples Park occupier Max Walsh said forming an overflow camp in Dunn Meadow is already being discussed.“We might beat the students to occupying Dunn Meadow,” he said.The Occupy IU group agreed, though, that occupying now is too soon and that they should first reach out to more students.Propaganda, such as handing out pamphlets and making a list of facts that students care about, would be the first step, Klatt said. Students would also have the opportunity to learn about the cause face-to-face with an Occupy IU member.Then, the group will move on to more noticeable tactics: occupied teach-ins, where members of the group take control of a classroom for one lecture period at the start of the semester when students don’t recognize their professors’ faces and occupying public buses — possibly a handful of people with signs on every bus. That way, they’d reach thousands of people at one time.Starting with pamphlets will allow the group to maintain a sustained movement with room to grow.“It’s a structure that makes it inviting and brings people in,” said Ben Robinson, assistant professor of Germanic studies. “We want to be taken seriously.”Occupy IU’s next meeting will be at 7 p.m. today in the Indiana Memorial Union.
____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>The pumpkin was in place.Josh Jachim steadied his right foot on the base of his team’s wooden slingshot cannon and crouched away from the launching machine. He put a hand on the edge of his black German helmet.“It’s safety,” he said, tapping his helmet. “Every time I bent down, I got hit in the head.”To his left, Gregory Darling held the pull that released the pumpkin.The two boys and their brothers, Nick Jachim and Evan Darling, had attended the Great Bloomington Pumpkin Launch at Hilltop Garden and Nature Center before, but never as contestants.“We want to go against our dads,” Josh said.“Yeah, we got bored watching him,” Nick added.On Saturday, elementary students Josh, Gregory and Nick formed the Pumpkin Avengers and battled their fathers, Glenn Darling and Joe Jachim on team BPG 9000, in the accuracy competition. The Great Bloomington Pumpkin Launch was split into three age divivisions — youth, student and adult — and two competitions — distance and accuracy. Each team had two chances to launch a pumpkin as far as they could and then another two chances to get as close to a target as possible. Though the distance competition pits age groups against each other, Event Coordinator Bill Ream said all six participating teams would go head-to-head for accuracy.That placed Josh and Gregory’s wooden cannon against the white-tubed cannon from which they had borrowed their design.The boys’ slingshot took two days to build and a week to revise, Nick said.“We just found out two or three weeks ago that they had a kids section,” Josh said.The divisions and rules were changed this year, Ream said, because the launching competition didn’t take place the last two years due to a low number of teams.“We got a lot of interest from spectators in bringing it back,” he said, “and we had seven teams sign up to participate. Obviously, one team couldn’t make it.”For the first six years, the competition took place at Hilltop and then moved to RCA Park for two years before taking a break.“Hopefully, they’ll keep doing it,” Ream said. “It’s a real unusual activity.”Two 8-by-8 foot tarps with scarecrows in the middle marked 150 feet and 400 feet accuracy targets. The Pumpkin Avengers aimed its cannon at the 150 foot tarp. Its distance shots had gone 150 feet and 180 feet, respectively, so it’d be right on target.The adult teams launched both of their accuracy shots first, with the youths’ dads getting their pumpkin the closest — 44 feet from the 400 foot target.The first to go of the youth and student groups, the boys eyed the slingshot’s position.“Move it to the left just a tiny (bit). That’s it. That’s it,” Nick said.“I think we’re dead on,” Gregory replied.He held his hands tight on the pull, waiting for the crowd’s count down.Three. Two. One.Gregory pulled.The five-pound pumpkin shot through the air in an arch. Gregory fell to the ground from the slingshot’s force. He watched as the pumpkin splattered to the left of the scarecrow, possibly on the tarp.“I think we hit it,” he said.“We’re so close,” Josh said.Ream stood behind the team, waiting for the measures from the field to crackle over his walkie-talkie. He announced the Pumpkin Avengers’ accuracy into a microphone.“Twenty-one feet with pumpkin seeds on the tarp,” he said.The boys spent little time cheering. Instead, they readied their cannon for the next shot.While the Pumpkin Avengers did not take home the accuracy prize — an Ivy Tech Community College student team won with a shot 11 feet from the tarp — it placed first in its division for distance and second in accuracy after the Ivy Tech team.“We’ll definitely be doing it again,” Josh said.
____simple_html_dom__voku__html_wrapper____>A Google document in which people can schedule time to occupy Peoples Park will be made following the first Occupy IU meeting Thursday at the Indiana Memorial Union.Instead of leaving their comfort zone entirely, people will be able to sign up and give a definite time for when they can occupy.“It’s not about getting rough. People aren’t expected to live like they’re homeless,” said occupier Daniel Bingham. “It’s about maintaining a space.”Bingham arrived at the meeting after finishing a shift at work. In the table-filled room near the Back Alley, more than 60 people sat in a circle, on chairs and on the floor, discussing ways to get more students involved in the occupation movement and future plans for the Peoples Park occupiers.“I came in late, but I heard mention of temporary occupation,” Bingham said to the crowd. “People occupying need a break to sleep in their beds. People could rotate in for a night at a time so we can keep a constant presence.”Around the circle, people wiggled their fingers above their heads, a silent way of showing agreement instead of clapping.One of the main reasons senior Justinian Dispenza and occupier Joseph Klatt facilitated the Occupy IU meeting was to bring the meaning of the occupation movement directly to the students.“When we were setting up occupation, it was between Dunn Meadow and Peoples Park,” Dispenza said. “We decided on Peoples Park because of its rich history.”Unfortunately, students don’t always spend time off campus and may not know about the protest, Dispenza said.At the meeting, Klatt mentioned another concern.“It’s getting cold,” he said. “I don’t know if people want to camp out. Do we want to think about an inside space as well?”“It’s difficult to get students to camp outside, especially in freezing weather,” someone else said.“We’re looking into buying a $2,000 military tent that’s 50 feet wide,” one Peoples Park occupier said. “So, that’d be really hard to fit in Peoples Park.”Currently, about 70 people can sleep in the tents in the park, but most nights, only 20 to 30 protesters sleep there.But Dispenza said the purpose of the meeting wasn’t to set up a new occupy site or force people to start sleeping outside. Instead, he wanted to begin a discussion with interested students and faculty.Minutes before the meeting began, Steve Veldkamp, assistant dean of students, dropped off sheets of blue paper titled “Information about Students’ Right to Protest.”“I have a few business cards that I can give to the leaders, or are you all leaders?” he said looking around the circle.“We’re all facilitators,” Dispenza said.“Okay, I’ll just leave these here for anyone to take, then,” Veldkamp said, placing a stack of blue papers and business cards on a table before leaving.“IU’s technically not all free speech,” Dispenza said as Veldkamp left. “You have to protest in designated free speech zones.”The speech zone issue was brought up again later in the meeting.“All of campus should be a free speech zone,” one protester said.“The whole city should be a free speech zone,” someone else added.Though no further decisions were made at the meeting, Occupy IU will meet again to continue discussions at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the same place.
