With the 2022 midterm election just over a month away, voters across the country are making plans to vote on Nov. 8. This will be the first time many college students cast a ballot.
$2 million is an amount of money that most people could not fathom seeing in their lifetime, let alone just 20 years. But as of 2021, just shy of the 20-year anniversary, that is how much money IUPUI’s Jagathon has raised for Riley Hospital for Children.
Women now make up the majority of college students, according National Student Clearinghouse, “a nonprofit education partner to the nation’s colleges and universities, providing them with critical educational reporting, verification and research services.” They found in their most recent data that women make up roughly 60% of students while men make up roughly 40%.
On October 13th, Indianapolis announced that trick-or-treat hours will be from 6 to 8 p.m. on Oct. 31, 2021. This has been standard for the past several years, as has the increase in police patrolling neighborhoods on Halloween night. The press release cites this routine increase as a measure to “protect the safety of residents during Halloween festivities.” The announcement added that all 43 Indianapolis Fire Department locations will be passing out candy. “It’s an annual event that we do at all forty fire stations. We get quite a few kids and we love doing it,” Rita Reight, the Battalion Chief and Public Information Officer at the Indianapolis Fire Department said. Also included in the press release, the Mayor’s office included a list of safety tips for those trick-or-treating: Wear light-colored clothes that are short enough to prevent tripping Wear fire-resistant costumes Make sure children can easily see through [full] face masks Don’t wear masks or disguises into businesses Adults should accompany young children and children with special needs Go out in daylight hours, if possible, or carry a flashlight if you’ll be out after dark Motorists should slow down and be aware of their surroundings Only give and accept wrapped or packaged treats Avoid props like guns, which can look real Consider block parties instead of trick-or-treating Check the weather and have appropriate dress under costumes in the event of cold temperatures Follow CDC COVID-19 guidelines, including wearing masks indoors and practicing social distancing from people outside of your household Cities around Indianapolis also announced their trick-or-treating hours, and some cities have additional Halloween events. Avon’s hours are 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Avon Town Hall and Avon Police Department will be passing out candy during these hours as well. Kingsway Christian Church in Avon is hosting a trunk-or-treat event from 4 to 6 p.m. on Oct. 30. Brownsburg will be hosting their trick-or-treat hours from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. Sara Bearman, a Brownsburg mother, said the hours are about right for parents and children, but that for most parents who get off at 5 p.m., the hours may barely give them enough time to get kids intot their costumes. “If they pushed it back to like 7 to 10 [p.m.], it would be too late for the young kids since they have school the next day. Most kids live in neighborhoods, three hours is enough time in neighborhoods to get a lot of candy,” Bearman said. Brownsburg will also be hosting their Trail & Treat in Williams Park. Per the Brownsburg Parks website, families can trick-or-treat around the park starting at 5 p.m. Oct. 30 and can stay for the ‘Boo-vie’ “Hocus Pocus” starting at 6 p.m. Carmel’s trick-or-treat is scheduled from 5 to 8 p.m. with no additional community events. Greenwood scheduled trick-or-treat for 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. “I feel like that’s a good time, but they could make it longer, and they could make it start at like 5:30,” Greenwood mother Chelsea Bright said. “I’m not concerned [for] their safety when they’re trick-or-treating in this neighborhood or the ones it’s connected to.” On Oct. 30, Greenwood’s Parks and Recreation Department is also hosting the annual Halloween Parade downtown at 5 p.m. According to the City of Greenwood website, guests are highly encouraged to wear their costumes when they gather to watch the parade, where there will be even more trick-or-treating opportunities. Lebanon is encouraging trick-or-treaters to be out from 6 to 9 p.m. Lebanon is also hosting Mischief on Meridian from 5 to 8 p.m. on Oct. 30. The event’s Facebook page says the event will include a trunk-or-treat, the Halloween Train, a costume contest, some “spooky creatures,” and even some entertainment. Speedway’s trick-or-treat hours are scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m.
“Rain or shine,” freshman Noah Thomas stated in a post shared across the IUPUI campus. Thomas, along with freshman Caeley Hayes, organized a peaceful protest Wednesday, September 22nd, to raise awareness on the most recent sexual assault case that was reported to the IU police department. Students of all backgrounds attended the protest to show their support despite the rain. Thomas expressed that his number one goal with this protest was to support and help his peers.“I just hope this makes [my peers] feel safer,” Thomas said. “Safety should be one of the top priorities on a campus, student’s safety. IUPUI prides themselves on being one of the safest campuses in Indiana and the United States, but here we are dealing with this sexual assault. Something has to be changed. I am looking out for my peers’ safety and well-being. That’s my number one thing.” Thomas believes that this can be achieved through the inclusion of more cameras in dorms across campus. The most recently reported case of sexual assault was a reported rape that occurred in a stairwell in University Tower on September 16th, where there are no cameras. Students have reported that there are no cameras in Ball Residence Hall, and only some functioning cameras in North Hall. “The campus needs to add cameras in University Tower stairwells, elevators, and hallways. They have one camera on each floor right when you’re leaving the elevator and that’s all they have. Change needs to happen now.”Along with speeches from Thomas and Hayes, students were welcomed to share their stories of personal sexual assault experiences. With cheers of love and support from their peers, survivors stepped up to share, in hopes of making a change. One of these students was freshman Annie Hadley, and she explained what she hoped to achieve with the protest. “I just feel like it doesn’t matter the conditions, we’re here to prove that we are trying to show our voice,” Hadley said. “And I think that by starting small, by showing our voices where we can on campus, that is a small step to show that we’re out here, and we support these women. We hear their voices, and we want something to be done. We want something to change.” Kimberly Minor, Detective Lieutenant at Indiana University Police Department (IUPD), said they are aware of the demands being made by the protesters. “We agree, we would love to have more cameras in the dorms, we would love to have them wherever they could be,” Minor said “The police department isn’t responsible for placing those cameras, but we absolutely concur.” Minor said that the number of these cases this year is similar to the number of these cases from August to November 2019. 2020 was excluded because there were fewer students on campus. Minor says that from August to November 2019, there were around 5 cases. While this year’s numbers are relatively close, there has been a slight increase. According to the IUPD crime log, there have been eight cases involving rape or sexual battery so far in the 2021 fall semester. “When people see reports go up, they’re concerned,” Minor said. “But, I offer a different perspective and that is, when reports go up, it’s not necessarily that more cases are happening, but more people are reporting.” Minor also says that more people may feel comfortable reporting their experiences because of encouragement from friends and people in their lives. However, one of these cases included a charge of Interference With the Reporting of a Crime, indicating that there is still resistance against those that come forward to report these crimes. “From talking to victims or survivors, they’ve had friends who have encouraged them to come forward,” Minor said. As far as possible prevention of these crimes, Minor says, “Because rape is such an intimate crime, outside of education there’s not a lot the police department can do to prevent it.” Students have been questioning why these perpetrators are still on campus in spite of IUPUI’S zero-tolerance policy. According to Minor IUPD would be “more than happy” to see these students removed from campus, but that responsibility is ultimately a student conduct issue. Students have only been clery noticed (notified) of one of these rapes, per the IUPD crime log. IUPUI also has a text message system that students can opt in to receive these notifications. Students can do that through the Emergency Notification Setting module on OneIU. Minor adds “What I would like for people to know is that if you are a victim, understand that if you make a police report, you don’t have to file charges but at least that puts it on record.”
