The origins of ‘Hoosier’

At Indiana University, sports teams, students, faculty and alumni are commonly referred to as “Hoosiers,” and there are many theories as to the origin of the name.

According to the Indiana Historical Bureau, the term cultivated general use in the 1830s when writer John Finley from Richmond, Indiana wrote a poem known as “ e Hoosier’s Nest” which was used as the “Carrier’s Address” of the Indianapolis Journal January 1, 1833.

e poem was widely distributed around the United States and abroad.

Finley originally wrote the word as “hoosher,” and in August of 1833, former Indiana governor James B. Ray announced his intent to publish a newspaper in

Greencastle, Indiana known as e Hoosier.

Although the term was not widely used until 1833, there are earlier written uses of “hoosier.” e term appears in the Carrier’s Address of the Indiana Democrat in 1832. In 1831, a letter to General John Tipton of an Indiana militia marks the intention of naming a boat the “Indiana Hoosier.” “Recollections… of Wabash Valley,” a publication from 1860, quotes a diary from July of 1827 using the words “yankee” and “hoosier” in the same sentence.

Ever since the term “hoosier” has been generally used, its true origin has been in question, but there are several popular theories of how it came to be.

A popular theory refers to a contractor named Hoosier who worked on the Louisville and Portland Canal and hired many

workers from Indiana that came to be known as “Hoosier’s men,” and the name caught on.

Another theory suggests that visitors to Indiana would knock on inhabitant’s doors to be greeted with responses such as, “who’s yere?” which then became condensed into “hoosier.”

Another theory comes from former Indiana governor Joseph Wright, who suggested the word came from a Native American word for corn, “hoosa,” and that

Indiana farmers taking their corn to di erent parts of the country came to be known as “hoosa men,” which then turned into “hoosiers.”

ere are several other popular theories of where the word “hoosier” came from, but its true origin remains unknown. Despite this mystery, the term became widespread in its reference to inhabitants of Indiana and the sports teams, students, alumni and faculty of IU.

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.

IU mascot ideas from the IDS

IU has made a few attempts at having a mascot in the past, but nothing quite seems to stick. Although the Hoosiers seem just fine without one, the IDS took the liberty to brainstorm a few ideas that could fill the mascot vacancy.

The bison Improved

One of IU’s most well-known abandoned mascots is the bison, which was active from 1965 to 1969. Although the mascot suit’s enormous head proved to be inconvenient in its rst run, that’s no excuse to give up on this fan favorite. Bring back the bison!

Campus

Purdue mascot

Let’s take the Indiana-Purdue rivalry a step further. What better way to beat the Boilermakers than to give their infamously haunting mascot, Purdue Pete, a pair of candy striped pants and a makeover?

squirrel Cream and crimson corn

Love them or hate them, the squirrels around IU are an essential part of life as a Hoosier. There’s no better way to honor the furry friends we share campus with than to make them the face of Indiana’s many sports teams. What could possibly be more intimidating?

In Indiana legend, some believe “hoosier” was derived from a word for corn. Whether this theory is true or not, there’s no shortage of corn elds around Indiana, making the crop pretty mascot-worthy.

Restaurants to try on Kirkwood

After living here 11 years, I thought I’d tried everything in town that was worth eating, let alone on Kirkwood. Yet every year I surprise myself when I find a place to eat that I’ve never even heard of. Whether it’s a chicken restaurant like Cane’s that recently opened or a burrito place like Chubbie’s that’s been there this entire time, there is no shortage of places to eat on any night out.

Uptown Cafe

Uptown is one of my favorite places to eat in town. While it is a bit more expensive, the food is worth the price. I would recommend getting the Louisiana hot pepper chicken dish. It’s spicy, but not too spicy, and the sour cream makes it even better. The New York Strip and cheeseburger are also good options. Not to mention the baguette.

Potbelly

My love for Potbelly goes back to spring break during my freshman year of high school. I’d go there almost every day with my dad before track practice and came to love the grilled chicken and cheddar sandwich. Putting chips in the sandwich added some crunch and made it that much tastier. I also really enjoy their mac and cheese and loaded potato soup.

Z&C

and chicken bowl last year,and since then, I wish I hadn’t waited 10 years to try it. Each bite makes you want to keep eating regardless of how full you are. I’m not sure what it is — maybe the crispy chicken or rice/lo mien, but it never gets old. It’s easy to eat and comes at a cheap price too.

Goodfellas

Goodfellas is known for their HUGE slices of pizza— slices so big that you get full after eating just one. Their breadsticks are over a foot long and just as good. It’s arguably some of the best pizza in town. They also give out reusable soda cups; I have at least five in my kitchen cabinet. The interior is cozy and full of energy.

Insomnia Cookies

Insomnia has the best cookies in town, hands down. I’m a sucker for their chocolate chip cookies. However simple, they never get old. They have a wide variety of flavors to satisfy all cookie cravings, including smore’s, double chocolate mint, confetti and more. They also have ice cream, ice cream sandwiches and cookie cakes. I honestly love it all; it’s the perfect place to pick up a snack at any time of day.

Village Deli

Melt and any omelet are my go-to dishes. They have something for everyone, from their biscuits and gravy to their burgers and salads. Once you find something you like, it’s hard not to order it every time.

Raising Cane’s

I was honestly surprised by how good the chicken is at Cane’s. For a chain, I wasn’t expecting much. Yet their chicken, fries and even bread are really good. The sauce pulls it all together. It’s also very filling and doesn’t leave you hungry.

Lenny’s

and charming decorations and furniture. It creates a homey feel. As for their food, I recommend trying their burgers, salmon, soup or fries. They also have Hartzel’s ice cream, which cannot be beat. Farm is also a popular brunch spot in town.

Chubbie’s

I only first tried Z&C’s rice

This is a classic destination for anyone that comes to Bloomington. Village Deli has numerous options for both breakfast and lunch. The Deli

This restaurant has many options to choose from and the ones I’ve tried are all delicious. From their chicken quesadillas to the chicken and mushroom tortellini, you won’t be disappointed. Their flatbread, sandwiches and pizza are also worth trying. The vibe is very lively and exciting.

Farm

Farm has the most unique

I first went to this burrito place just last year; I’d walked by it numerous times but had never noticed it was there. What first caught my eye when I walked in was the artwork on the wall; it’s very beautiful and unique. The food is very similar to Chipotle’s, which is another food option on Kirkwood. You can get a bowl, burrito or chips; all is worth eating.

Café Pizzeria

If you like thin-crust pizza, this place is for you. They also have strombolis and sandwiches, not to mention their cute, retro decorations. It’s Bloomington’s oldest pizzeria — a classic.

100 YEARS OF RACING The Bloomington Speedway first opened in 1923.

Indiana University students and the Bloomington community annually come together to celebrate "The World's Greatest College Weekend" each spring when Bill Armstrong Stadium hosts the Little 500 on its cinder track. Since the inaugural Little 500 in 1951, cycling students partake in year-long training for the largest collegiate bicycle race in the United States.

Although the third weekend in April is synonymous with the Little 500 and racing for IU students, five miles south of campus lies an unlikely-known historic dirt track celebrating its 100th year

in 2023.

Bloomington Speedway, a quarter-mile high banked red clay oval dirt track, is nestled at the corner of Fairfax Road and South Old State Rd 37. Nat Hill Jr. was among those in the Bloomington community who helped open the thenfive-eighths mile speedway in 1923.

Several racers competed in sprint car races at the speedway and other tracks around the state in hopes of making it to the Indianapolis 500, the pinnacle of motorsports, at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana.

Winchester Speedway, which opened in 1916, was

one of the first short tracks in the state. Although the speedway operated as a dirt track with 45 degrees of banking from its opening until 1952, the track was paved with asphalt and reduced its banking to 37 degrees.

While Winchester Speedway was the most well-known short track in Indiana in the 1920s, several other wellknown short tracks around the state were getting their start in the years following.

In the years following Bloomington Speedway's opening, a notoriously dangerous speedway called Jungle Park Speedway opened in 1926 near Turkey Run State

Park in Parke County, Indiana. The track lacked protection for fans in attendance without walls or barriers. Jungle Park eventually ceased operations in 1960 when a fan was struck by a race car and killed.

Following the end of World War II, Bloomington Speedway had been revamped into a quarter-mile track thanks to Wayne Padgett and Ennis Wilson.

It wasn't until 1978 that the premier sprint car racing series in the World of Outlaws, founded in 1978 and the United States' first true national touring series, made its inaugural trip to the speedway.

Bloomington native Steve

Kinser was victorious at his hometown track in that trip.

While the Little 500 is a bicycle race with riders going upwards of 20 miles per hour, sprint cars can reach speeds of nearly eight times those of riders at Bill Armstrong Stadium.

A sprint car is comprised of a 410 cubic inch engine that produces over 900 horsepower. The World of Outlaws mandates that cars must weigh at least 1,425 pounds with the driver in the car.

The World of Outlaws sprint cars have a large top-mounted wing to produce downforce and stabilize the car, though non-winged sprint cars are what can be seen much of the

time in Bloomington.

Kinser, a legend in sprint car racing, went on to win at the speedway another seven times in the World of Outlaws competition. Several other legendary racers like Jeff Gordon, Sammy Swindell, and Doug Wolfgang raced at the speedway many times throughout the years.

Although the World of Outlaws and the Tezos All-Star Circuit of Champions haven’t visited the south side of Bloomington in years past, the United States Auto Club has continued to visit the speedway for premier events like the Indiana Sprint Week, which stops in Bloomington July 28.

Your guide to the IU Auditorium fall season

Experience live music and theater at the best place on campus

There’s something uniquely spectacular about witnessing a live performance. The energy of the crowd, the liveliness of the performers and the atmosphere of sound creates an experience that can’t be replicated.

Luckily, you don’t have to go too far here in Bloomington to find that experience. The IU Auditorium on campus is the perfect place to see outstanding local and traveling performances close to home.

If you’re a fan of musical theater, you’re in luck. Several offBroadway shows will be landing in Bloomington at the IU Auditorium over the coming year.

Star of the stage and screen Patti LuPone will be in town on Oct. 11, performing her onewoman show, “Don’t Monkey with Broadway.”

Along with this, many well-

known traveling musicals are in the Auditorium’s lineup. The iconic “Mean Girls” will be showing on Oct. 27 and 28. Others include “Hairspray” Feb. 6 and 7, “Jesus Christ Superstar” Feb. 20 and 21 and “Come From Away” Nov. 1 and 2. And, of course, — get hyped — there’s “Shrek The Musical” on April 9 and 10.

The Auditorium also features numerous other performances from a variety of groups.

One must-see event is IU’s own Straight No Chaser, performing a holiday-themed a cappella show on Dec. 13. For more holiday fun, “Chimes of Christmas,” a long-standing IU tradition starring the Singing Hoosiers, will be on for two performances on Dec. 2.

The music continues with two jazz performances. “When You Wish Upon a Star,” a jazzinspired production of classic Disney tunes, will be performed on Oct. 19, and “An Evening with

Branford Marsalis,” featuring the iconic Branford Marsalis and his jazz quartet, will be Jan. 25.

Fans of dance won’t be left out, either. “Step Afrika!,” a show that blends song, dance and storytelling, will take the stage Oct. 7. The long-running touring dance performance “STOMP” will be in town Jan. 20. “Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo,” an all-male parody ballet company, will also be performing on Feb. 24.

As if there isn’t already enough to see, the Auditorium also features several comedy and variety shows sure to brighten up your evening.

“Dennis James Hosts Halloween,” a Bloomington classic, is a true variety show, with students from IU’s Department of Theatre, Drama, and Contemporary Dance performing in a reenactment of a classic radio drama. It also includes live accompaniment to several silent films on

the IU Auditorium’s impressive 4,543 pipe organ. Performed on Oct. 25, it’s a Halloween night you won’t want to miss.

On Sep. 21, comedian Shane Gillis will perform his aptlytitled show “Shane Gillis Live.” More comedy comes with “Matt Rife: ProbleMATTic World Tour,” which will be hitting the Auditorium’s stage for two shows on Feb. 14.

Tickets for any of the above shows can be purchased on the IU Auditorium’s website, iuauditorium.com, over the phone or at the Auditorium’s box office, open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m, as well as before events. Many events offer student discounts.

With so much to explore at the IU Auditorium, there are tons of opportunities to have an amazing experience at any performance you choose. Be sure to check them out before they play themselves off.

When walking around IU’s Fine Arts Plaza, it's hard for students and visitors to miss the towering limestone building holding the Lilly Library Collection. A staple for historians and researchers across the state, the Lilly Library contains more than 450,000 printed books and 8.5 million manuscripts.

The library is named after the family of Josiah Kirby Lilly, Jr., a founder of the Lilly Endowment, who donated his collec-

to IU in the 1950s. Lilly and former IU president Herman B Wells worked together to open the library in 1960.

According to IU Bloomington’s website, the library holds rare cultural and literary artifacts, such as the first printed edition of “The Canterbury Tales.” The library is also home to the 16th century manuscript, “Boxer Codex,” a manuscript offering some of the earliest documentation of people living in the archipelago, as well as former President Thomas

Bill of Rights.

Since its opening in 1960, the Lilly Library has undergone several transformations. For instance, one of the library’s vaults on the first floor was once a bomb shelter, available to those nearby in case of an air raid. Additionally, the Lilly Library used to have a 1930s automobile, which belonged to Bloomington resident Norman Deckard, on exhibit inside the library.

The Lilly Library hosts a wide array of both in-person and on-

line exhibitions. The library is also offering an exhibition fol lowing the history of Indiana titled “Stories of the Hoosier State.” Students can find more information about past, ongoing and future exhibitions on the library’s website, libraries. indiana.edu/lilly-library.

To visit the Lilly Library — which is open to all members of the public — people can stop by the library to see the ongoing exhibits or email liblilly@indiana.edu to make an appointment to use the Reading Room, the library’s center for research.

IU’s spooky spectral spots

Discover the most haunted sites on campus just in time for Halloween.

After over 200 years, IU has a long and storied history. But not all of that history simply fades away. Some of it is still alive — or shall I say, undead?

Coming to campus, you’ll hear many people maintain that several spots on campus are still haunted by ghosts of the past. If you pick a clear night and some likeminded friends, maybe, just maybe, you’ll be able to spot them in these areas.

One of the biggest reasons for the continuing ghostly legends of IU is smack-dab in the middle of campus. Dunn Cemetery, located right next to the Indiana Memorial Union, is a macabre landmark for many students. I can still remember visiting cam-

pus for the rst time and being taken aback at the sight of gravestones.

George Gundy Dunn, whose name you may also recognize from campus landmarks Dunn’s Woods and Dunn Meadow, deeded the cemetery solely to the descendants of three Indiana Revolutionary War heroes in 1855. Even as IU’s campus expanded around the graves, the cemetery remained active and untouched due to the deed..

Despite its slightly shocking appearance, Dunn Cemetery is a quite beautiful feature of campus. Right next door is Beck Chapel, an allfaith chapel open to stu-

dents and community members alike. e area is a quiet and peaceful refuge from the bustle between the IMU and Ballantine Hall.

However, not every haunted location at IU is as peaceful. Many uphold that campus is lled up with spectral sights that roam classrooms, study spaces and dorm rooms.

Built in 1909, the IMU is one of the most iconic spots on campus. However, all that time has given it a chance to build up some urban legends.

One that I’ve heard several times is the Student Involvement Tower ghost. According to legend, the top oor of the tower is haunted by a ghost who is fond of turning the lights back on once they’ve all been shut o by janitorial sta . Sometimes, if you look at the IMU late at night, the top oor’s lights may still be twinkling.

As someone who’s visited the top oor of the Student Involvement Tower, this ghost is more annoying than anything else. ere’s no elevator all the way to the top, so I can’t imagine the stress on the poor janitors who have to mount the steps every night to turn o the lights of a prankster

ghost. Nice going, man.

Central campus also hosts more grisly legends. Owen Hall, which stands right between the IMU and the famous statue of Herman B. Wells, hosts a multitude of spooky stories.

According to legend, Owen Hall was once home to IU’s Natural Sciences department back in the day. ere, students would perform autopsies on bodies. As if that wasn’t creepy enough, the dumbwaiter used to transport bodies would often get stuck and sever the limbs of corpses in between oors. How lovely. e spookiest of them all, in my eyes, is

Read Hall’s famous girl in the yellow dress. I heard this one almost immediately after coming to IU, and it’s only fair to pass it on to all you ne folks.

e story goes that, on one particularly cursed night, a woman was murdered in Read Hall by her boyfriend.

ere’s a few variations of the tale, as most urban legends go, but all concur that today she still wanders the dormitory in her yellow dress. So, apologies if you’re rooming there.

ere’s countless other IU specters to discover across campus. Whether or not you actually believe, they’re delightful to tell around a seasonal camp re with a few friends. And who knows? Maybe you’ll actually end up running into a few actual IU legends.

You’re going to want this later.

Black greek life on campus to know

NPHC Fraternities

Kappa Alpha Psi

Kappa Alpha Psi was born on IU’s campus in 1911 originally as Kappa Alpha Nu. The name was later changed in 1914. The fraternity takes pride in its influence on changes made to greek letter organizations, such as the ban on paddling, and boasts a number of famous alumni, including Cedric the Entertainer, Colin Kaepernick and IU’s own Booker T. Jones.

Omega Psi Phi

Founded at Howard University, Omega Psi Phi was the first international fraternal order created on the campus of a historically Black university. Omega made history when several members graduated as part of the first class of Black soldiers from Camp Fort Des Moines in 1917. Notable members include Langston Hughes, Michael Jordan and Jesse Jackson.

Phi

Beta Sigma

Three students at Howard University founded Phi Beta Sigma in 1914 with the inten tion of building an organiza

tion that would exemplify “the ideals of brotherhood, scholarship and service.” Some of the fraternity’s well-known members are Rev. Al Sharpton, George Washington Carver and Terrance Howard.

Alpha Phi Alpha

Alpha Phi Alpha originated at Cornell University in 1906. It began as a study group for minority students facing discrimination at Cornell and has grown throughout the decades to provide a distinctive voice to the Civil Rights movement through its members, such as W.E.B. Dubois, Thurgood Marshall and Martin Luther King Jr.

Iota Phi Theta

Just weeks after Martin Luther King Jr.‘s “I Have a Dream Speech,” 12 students at Morgan State University founded Iota Phi Theta. The fraternity has continued to grow to include 249 chapters under the motto, “Building a Tradition, Not Resting Upon One.” Notable members include T.C. Carson, Calvin Murphy and Kendrick

Editor’s note: This story originally ran in the fall 2016 edition of Source. Information included has been updated to accurately represent Black greek life as of fall 2023.

The National Pan-Hellenic Council is comprised of nine historically Black fraternities and sororities, collectively known as the Divine Nine. Each organization is rich in history and the upraising of the Black community. You can find all nine of the incorporations at IU. Here’s a brief breakdown of each individual organization.

NPHC Sororities

Alpha Kappa Alpha

The first Black greek letter sorority was founded in 1908 at Howard University. Alpha Kappa Alpha has made strides in the improvement of the Black community through its donations to Black businesses, building schools in South Africa and launching programs to better the education of Black children. Notable members include Loretta Devine, Wanda Sykes and Toni Morrison.

Delta Sigma Theta

Delta Sigma Theta was founded by 22 women at Howard University in 1913 who wanted to promote academic excellence and help those in need. Just two months after its creation, the women of Delta Sigma Theta participated in the Women’s Suffrage March. Some of the sororities most well-known members include Soledad O’Brien, Cicely Tyson and Aretha Franklin.

Zeta Phi Beta

With the hope of making positive changes, five Howard University students founded Zeta Phi Beta in 1920. Zeta Phi Beta set precedents within the National Pan-Hellenic Council by being the first to build a chapter in Africa and to constitutionally bind itself to a fraternity. Notable members include Camille Cooper, Gwendolyn Brooks and Dionne Warwick.

Sigma Gamma Rho

Sigma Gamma Rho was founded in 1922 at Butler University with the mission to “enhance the quality of life for women and their families in the U.S. and globally through community service.” The sorority has kept its promise to help people through its foundations such as the National Education Fund. Notable members include Hattie McDaniel, Kelly Price and Anna Maria Horsford.

Tale of two trophies

College sports is filled with rivalries. Two match-ups to watch for each fall at IU involve a couple of unlikely prizes for the football team — an oaken bucket and a brass spittoon.

Old Oaken Bucket Old Brass Spittoon

WHAT: e Chicago chapters of the Indiana and Purdue alumni associations met in 1925 to discuss a way to link the schools. Indiana alumnus Dr. Clarence Jones and Purdue alumnus Russel Gray proposed a bucket be used as a trophy to be awarded to the winner of the football contests. e resolution stated an old oaken bucket was, “the most typical Hoosier form of trophy ...”

RECORD: IU and Purdue had been playing against each other since 1891. But the Old Oaken Bucket was introduced in 1925. Since then, the Bucket was been awarded annually during peacetime with some exceptions.

e Boilermakers took the bucket home 62 times, the Hoosiers won it 32 times and there have been three ties.

WHAT: A spittoon was purchased from an antique shop in Lansing, Michigan in 1950 for $25 by Gene McDermott, Michigan State University junior class president. Spittoons were used as receptacles for spitting — especially by those using chewing and dipping tobacco. McDermott proposed the small, brass object as a prize to with winner of the IU-MSU matches and a trophy tradition began.

RECORD: IU and MSU played each other before 1950, but that’s when the trophy was introduced. Since then, Indiana has won the Spittoon 14 times, including 2022. MSU has won the trophy 50 times. ere has been one tie game.

The story behind Martha the Mop Lad

There are few times inside Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall where you can hear a pin drop — except for when Martha the Mop Lady makes her appearance on the video board 10 minutes before the start of every Indiana basketball game.

Martha begins the 75-second clip by humming the first few notes to Indiana’s fight song, “Indiana, Our Indiana,” which acts as the dinner bell for the crowd, as the college basketball cathedral then rarely turns motionless — excluding Indiana’s free-throws.

Pregame conversations pause. Fans whip out their phones and capture the tradition while also attempting to live in the moment, careful not to watch through only their camera lens and get drawn out from perhaps one of the college sports’ greatest sold-out spectacles.

Everyone quietly sings the first line with Martha as they prepare to clap along for the rest. Though inevitable, fans are okay with the off-beat clapping. By this point anyway, all are thrilled to see her and await the players’ arrival on the court dressed in candy striped pants.

That event prepares everyone for the beginning of the basketball game, but Martha’s first appearances began on television screens at home, not the big board inside Assembly Hall.

In 1971, Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance became the sole sponsor of Indiana and Purdue University basketball games on television station WTTV-4. By the mid-decade, television ads were shown prior to the start of Indiana basketball games on

that channel. They featured Martha Webster, an opera singer dressed as a cleaning lady, singing the fight song while sweeping the Hall.

The 1970s saw Indiana boast some of the best teams in the history of the sport with renowned head coach Bob Knight beginning his three-title reign with the Hoosiers. With his following increasing and fans packing the stands, CBS started airing Indiana games.

Once Indiana’s games started be-

ing nationally televised, the campaign was no longer seen on television screens at home, which meant for over two decades, there was no sight of Martha. However, in 2010, Indiana Athletics announced that the iconic video would reappear, this time on the video board at Assembly Hall after the national anthem and before tip-off.

“We were all just as thrilled to hear the vintage Martha spot was returning and appreciate Indiana Farm Bureau

Insurance for recognizing what a special, unique affiliation she had to our Hoosier fans all those years,” thenIndiana Director of IU Athletics Fred Glass said in November 2010. “Martha’s obvious passion for IU Basketball was infectious and led to a following that was like none other”

These days, the video of Martha is played before the players run out of the locker room and onto the court, prior to the announcement of the starting lineups and the playing of the national anthem.

This past January, before Indiana’s 86-70 win over Ohio State University, there was a special live performance by Jacobs School of Music opera singer Maggie Kinabrew in place of the video. Kinabrew dressed as Martha and gave her own rendition of the fight song to the delight of the crowd ahead of the beatdown of the Buckeyes.

Since Martha arrived on the big screen at Assembly Hall, there has been a Twitter account (@TheMopLady) created in her memory. The account is run by Josh Bruick, an Indiana alumnus who wanted to carry on Martha’s legacy and was enamored with Martha’s personality.

“I mean, obviously, (Martha) is a historical figure,” Bruick said. “I remember watching her when I was little when we only had four channels and she did the intro.”

Bruick started the account in September 2011 when he was in his 20s as a way to anonymously interact with other IU fans. At that time, the only other account like that was Chronic Hoosier — an Indiana superfan whose identity remains anonymous despite massive popularity.

As the seasons and years progressed and Bruick matured, he came to the realization that his purpose of creating the account was not to just use Martha’s profile to attract a massive following. He wanted to start using as it a way to give back.

2019 was head coach Archie Miller’s second year with the Hoosiers, the season where Indiana just missed out on an NCAA Tournament berth. Still, the Hoosiers earned a No. 1-seed in the National Invitational Tournament (NIT), meaning they would host games inside Assembly Hall. General admission tickets for those games were being sold for just $15.

Looking back, Bruick said the following he had and the $15 tickets coincided quite well and presented an opportunity for him to take advantage of something that just so happened to work itself out.

“This is really kind of where the light bulb clicked for me,” Bruick said. “For me it was like man, this is really a way for me to give back. I can use the account, engage with IU fans and find some deserving families to go to a game.”

Every year, Bruick, a Fort Wayne

gaining traction, Bruick realized he had something brewing. He continued it for the remainder of IU’s 2019 NIT run and into the next basketball season, which eventually turned into adding football and softball.

As Indiana was nearing an NCAA Tournament berth in 2020 for the first time since 2016, COVID-19 occurred. There were no games to be attended, no tickets to be handed out and no ways Bruick could give back to the IU community during the pandemic.

“That’s really where I kind of reset and I was like what can what can I turn this into,” Bruick said. “That’s where the nonprofit idea started with the Hoosier Ticket Project.”

Bruick created the Hoosier Ticket Project in 2021 as a non-profit organization aimed to provide fans — particularly children — the opportunity to see an IU athletic event in person while not having to spend a penny for admission.

native, would take his mom down to Bloomington for an IU basketball game. As a non-season-ticket holder, Bruick would have to pay extra to purchase tickets knowing the game was most likely sold out, drive down, eat dinner and sometimes stay overnight.

“It can end up being a $500-600 day before it’s all said and done,” Bruick said.

With that in mind, Bruick tweeted from the Martha account, which at that time had about 20,000 followers (it currently has over 35,000 followers, for reference) trying to bring people to The Hall for the first time to watch the Hoosiers host an NIT first-round game.

Bruick figured anyone could fire off a tweet trying to help families bring their kids to an IU game for the first time but after matching tickets and

The Twitter account (@HoosierProject) was created in August 2021, nearly a decade after Martha’s was created. That account, which has over 2,000 followers in less than two years of existence, publicly celebrates all the families that have been sent to IU athletics events.

“I’m just a guy that’s hijacking your identity and I think most people know that by now,” Bruick said. “Obviously, it’s just a parody account. There’ll be times I get mad after losses, but at the core of what the account does with the ticket project, I’d like to think I do a pretty decent job by her name,” Bruick said.

The reuniting of Martha the Mop Lady with Indiana basketball over a decade ago has connected the past to the present, and now Bruick is trying to take that to the next level to allow Indiana fans to see Martha on the big screen. Not only has Martha’s fandom grown on Twitter, it has grown from TV screens in the 70s to the big screen inside Assembly Hall.

“Martha’s obvious passion for IU Basketball was infectious and led to a following that was like none other.”

Who was Hoagy Carmichael?

The story behind one of IU Bloomington’s most well-known statues.

“In my heart it will remain, that stardust melody, the memory of love’s refrain.”

ose are lyrics from Hoagland Howard “Hoagy” Carmichael’s well-known 1927 jazz song “Starlight.” e song features Carmichael solo playing the piano and singing.

Since its release, “Stardust” has been reproduced numerous times and was featured in the popular television show e Crown in 2022. In 2004, Carmichael’s original recording of “Starlight” was added to the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry.

Carmichael is a Bloomington native; born, raised, studied, performed and buried in town. In 1920, he enrolled in Indiana University Bloomington and graduated in 1926 with

a Bachelor of Law degree. While studying at IU, Carmichael formed a band called “Carmichael’s Collegiates,” which became well-known around campus. According to the Indiana Historical Bureau, Carmichael — a self-taught pianist — originally composed “Starlight” at a piano outside e Gables on Indiana Avenue while still in law school.

Writing, composing and producing music was his calling, so his career as a lawyer did not last long. Carmichael moved out of Bloomington after graduating from IU and eventually made his way to New York City. It was there that his musical potential was recognized on a large scale

ing. While in New York City he became good, lifelong friends with Louis Armstrong, a famous American trumpeter.

Eventually, Carmichael moved to Hollywood where he expanded his music career into the lm industry as an onscreen performer and actor. His debut lm “Topper” released in 1937, in which he portrayed a piano player. In 1946 Carmichael started his radio career with the “Hoagy Carmichael Show” and in 1951 he won an Oscar for his song “In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening” that was featured in a Bing Crosby lm. After retiring in the 1960s, Carmichael was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in

most inventive and adventurous of the great American songwriters.”

Carmichael received a Honorary Doctorate in Music from Indiana University in 1972 and his song “Chimes of Indiana” became an IU Anthem, adopted by the Alumni Association in 1978.

In 2008, Carmichael permanently joined IU’s Bloomington campus in statue form. His statue, sculpted by Bloomington native Michael McAuley, portrays him sitting at a piano and is located outside the IU Auditorium by Eagleson Avenue.

5 facts about the Sample Gates

Sample Gates as the sun sets Nov. 6, 2022.

Often referred to as the door to campus, the Sample Gates sit between Franklin Hall and Bryan Hall. These iconic gates were finished and dedicated in 1987.

1. The gates were funded by the former Director of the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aids, Edson Sample. Sample wanted to fund and dedicate the gates to his parents, Louise Waite Sample and Kimsey Ownbey Sample Sr., who were both present at the June 1987 dedication ceremony.

2. The classes of 1899-1902 began the University Arch Fund to erect a gate at the edge of the campus. Eventually, the classes agreed to use the funds to purchase chimes in the Student Building.

3. In 1931, Newell Sanders proposed the gateway again by submitting multiple designs for the potential gates. The Board of Trustees denied her proposal.

4. The place where the current Sample Gates sit used to be a continuation of Kirkwood Avenue. The through street was closed for the erection of the gates in the 1980s.

Buskirk-Chumley to feature bluegrass, indie rock

over a century.

The Buskirk-Chumley has been a staple of Bloomington’s art and music scene for over a century. The theater — whose BCT acronym also colloquially stands for “Bloomington’s community theater” — is home to a wide variety of performances every year, ranging from local Bloomington and IU ensembles to internationally touring artists. Here’s a look at some of the highlights of their upcoming fall season. A full list of events can be found at buskirkchumley.org/events.

The Steeldrivers

The Bloomington Roots Foundation has partnered with the BCT to bring Grammy award-winning Americana band The Steeldrivers to the theater at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 8. The group has released 5 studio albums, two of which — “Reckless” and “The Muscle Shoals

Recordings” — were nominated for Best Bluegrass Album at the Grammy awards, with the latter winning the category. Tickets are currently available for presale to donors of the BCT and Bloomington Roots Foundation. They will become available to the public July 31.

Matisyahu

grass music. Väsen and Hawktail will headline the festival, which will also feature The Foreign Landers and a tobe-announced special guest. Tickets will go on sale July 31 for $35-50.

Slaughter Beach, Dog

The Dollop Podcast

Live US history podcast The Dollop will be performing their show live at the Buskirk-Chumley at 8 p.m. Oct. 7. Hosted by comedians Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds, the podcast consists of Anthony relaying peculiar stories from American history to Reynolds, who has no knowledge of the tale. The pair’s comedic reactions to these events have put the show in the top 20 most downloaded comedy podcasts in the US, Canada and Australia. Tickets are on sale for $40-80.

Matisyahu will bring his unique sound to the BCT at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 19. He combines traditions of reggae with hip hop and rock, as well as bringing Jewish spiritual themes into the fold. He has a considerable body of published work, including 7 studio albums and 5 live albums which earned him a spot as one of Billboard’s top reggae artists of 2006 and Esquire magazine’s “Most Lovable Oddball” award. Tickets are on sale for $35-55.

BloominGrass Music Festival

The Bloomington Roots Foundation and the BCT will debut the BloominGrass music festival at 7 p.m. Oct. 20. Unlike many music festivals, BloominGrass is a one-night event which will showcase contemporary folk and blue-

Indie rock band Slaughter Beach, Dog will perform at the BCT at 8 p.m. Nov. 1. Formed by Jake Ewald of Modern Baseball, the group started as a solo project and was fleshed out after the announcement of Modern Baseball’s hiatus, bringing their bassist, Ian Farmer, into the group. Their sound is understandably reminiscent of Modern Baseball, and shares similarities with other indie projects like The Mountain Goats and The Front Bottoms. Tickets cost $26 if bought ahead of time, with prices increasing the day of the show.
