South Padre Island Surrounded on all sides by beautiful beaches and water, this Texan island will see temperatures in the mid-70s during break.

Temperatures will be in the high 70s in this desert city, and you’ll fi nd no shortage of things to do. Panama City Florida is the classic getaway for those on spring break. You’ll get low 70s and a week of sunshine if you choose to hit this beach. Lake Havasu Pack plenty of tank tops and short shorts.

Kennedy announced the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4, 1968, in Indianapolis. The actors are part of an exhibit at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Museum titled “You Are There.” RIGHT Robert F. Kennedy breaks the news of Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination in Indianapolis. Kennedy traveled to Indianapolis in order to campaign for the presidency. BY MICHELA TINDERA mtindera@indiana.edu Hours after he learned Martin Luther King Jr. had been killed, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy took the podium in Indianapolis to notify an unaware crowd of the tragedy. On that evening of April 4, 1968, Indianapolis was one of the few cities in the U.S. that did not experience riots. This was supposed to be another routine stop on Kennedy’s presidential campaign tour, but in the few hours between his last stop at Ball State University and Indianapolis , Kennedy prepared himself to present an unwritten speech to address the issue head-on. Now 40 years later, through 3-D hologram effects, live acting and dialogue from Kennedy’s speech, fellow Hoosiers can experience what it was like to be a part of the crowd that evening as a part of the most recent addition to the Indiana Historical Society’s “You Are There” exhibits. The exhibit titled “You Are There 1968: Robert F. Kennedy Speaks ” opened Feb. 22 at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center in Indianapolis . The exhibit’s topic was selected from the 1.6 million photos the IHS has archived and took three and a half years to complete, Director of Exhibitions Research and Development Eloise Scroggins said. “We wanted to pick something with really compelling subject matter,” Media Relations Manager Amy Lamb said. “A lot of people are aware of Kennedy’s speech, but some aren’t. This allows everyone to learn more about it.” The people who were in the crowd April 4 and are played by actors in the exhibit are still alive today. The actors were required to 4 meet and talk to those people so they could get a realistic portrayal of what happened at the speech. Theodore Boehm , who was 29 years old at the time, was an upcoming lawyer and member of Kennedy’s audience. He later went on to become an Indiana Supreme Court Justice and served as CEO for the 1987 Pan American Games . SEE 3-D, PAGE 5
Dogs detect early bed bug infestations through smell BY KOURTNEY LIEPELT kliepelt@indiana.edu Detection dogs won’t let the bed bugs bite — literally. Carol and Ryan Cobine promote early detection of and education about bed bugs through their business, The Dog Knows Detection . They utilize their dog Dixie , along with a handler, to identify the presence of the insects. “We really want to educate people so that they understand what they can do, and we want to give people one more tool that they can use to monitor,” Carol Cobine said. “You don’t understand how much an infestation can turn your life upside down until you actually have one.” The key to using dogs for inspections is the teamwork between the dog and its handler, Carol Cobine said. She said the inspection process typically entails an initial walk-through of the site by the handler, followed by a walkthrough with Dixie. » 3-D CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 Boehm said in a press release that the campaign speech was “a pivotal event for me that rededicated a career toward public service.” Now he is portrayed by an actor in the exhibit. “The actors get to know a lot about them and their personality,” Lamb said. “They learn the little The handler then chooses a starting point for the dog in each room being examined and gives a search command. It is the handler’s job to keep the dog on task during this. If a bed bug is scented, Dixie will sit and put her nose on the strongest source of the odor — a passive alert, Carol said. This dog and handler team is an improvement from purely visual inspections as it speeds up the process, President of the National Bed Bug Association Micah Nix said. “A human inspection can take anywhere from a half hour, to do it properly, and we can go in there and do it in just a few minutes using the dogs and a visual inspection,” Nix said. Since bed bugs are diffi cult to detect due to their small size and elusive nature, Nix said using a dog’s sense of smell improves a bed bug inspection signifi cantly. “Because of the nature of the insect, they hide in various crevices, and they’re just not things, everything down to their idiosyncrasies.” “You Are There” is one exhibit of many in the interactive “The Indiana Experience. ” The other exhibits currently open are “Tool Guys and Tin Lizzies, ” where visitors can walk into a 1924 automobile repair shop, and “The Violin Maker Upstairs, ” where visitors are introduced to a violin-making couple in 1914 Indianapolis.

Using the olfactory senses of a dog magnifi es your inspection many, many times over,” Nix said. In addition, many people are unaware of bed bug detection methods, making it more diffi - cult to determine whether or not bed bugs are present in a room or building. “Only about a third of humans react to a bed bug bite, so two-thirds of us can be fed on and never even know it,” said Marc Lame , entomologist with the IU School of Public and Environmental Affairs . In any case, detecting bed bugs early, prior to an infestation, is crucial, Carol Cobine said. “If you detect them early, then you have a greater chance of remediation because bed bug infestations, once you have them, they are very diffi cult to remediate and they’re very hard to get rid of. If you catch them early, the dog can help determine the scope,” Carol Cobine said. “This was the fi rst time constructing an event rather than a scene like a grocery store,” Scroggins said. “It came with a whole new set of challenges.” Guests can also visit “Destination Indiana, ” the “W. Brooks Fortune History Lab ” and the “Cole Porter Room. ” All are exhibits designed to allow visitors to literally experience Indiana history through high technology and interactivity . Many IU students will be experiencing the nightlife during this spring break. Here’s a look at different laws for bar access in popular spring break destinations. Florida Many students will be hitting Miami or Panama City . Some clubs will allow those 18 or older inside at night. Usually they’ll have a sign reading something like “18 to enter, 21 to party. ” You still can’t buy alcoholic drinks. If you are serving as designated driver for your group of 21 and older friends, many clubs will give you free nonalcoholic drinks . Passing the bar Texas This state will be warm and sunny as well and might be a great getaway for some students. Like Florida, it depends on the bar . Some will allow people 18 and older in , but many will not take a chance on a minor sneaking liquor. However, if you’re with a group of friends that are 21 and older, your chances improve . Indiana It’s probably not a big spring break destination, but some of us are stuck here. As you all probably know, in Indiana you have to be 21 to get into the bars or buy alcohol. Sorry guys, you’ll need to fi nd another way to stay warm. IDS FILE PHOTO Illinois Though it will be colder there than in southern Indiana , some of us might head to Chicago for our break. Again, it is up to the bar’s discretion whether or not to let minors in . Most, however, will let in people 18 and older, but they’ll mark their hands so the bartenders know not to serve them .
