The waiting list is designed tobetter serve the students.”Wille said there were 12 students in thePsychology Department who were on a waitlist.However, only one or two did not get into aclass.“We’ll probably offer at least a couple newsections for courses,” Wille said.Banned book reading brings boisterous banterBy SONDRA MORRISStaffsobmorri@ius.eduThe IUS Library hosted a read out from bannedr challenged books on Sept. 27 in honor of Bannedooks Week.The American Library Association has observedhe last week of September as Banned Books Weekince 1982, and three years ago, IU Southeast had itsrst banned books read out.“I thought it would be a good thing to do, somehinginteresting on campus,” Maria Accardi, assisantlibrarian, said.Although there wasn’t a read out last year due tolanning difficulties, this year Accardi invited faclty,staff and students to participate.Readers chose from a list of ten books selectedrom “Banned and/or Challenged Books from theadcliffe Publishing Course Top 100 Novels of the0th Century.”“Books aren’t really banned so much in the UnitdStates as they are challenged, usually in a schoolor public library setting,” Accardi said.An information packet provided the history ofbans and challenges to the ten books selected forreading.Adult language, profanity and explicit descriptionsof sexual acts were the most common elementsfound offensive by those who challenged the booksappropriateness for high school reading programsor public library offerings.Racism, violence, religion and politics were alsocommon causes for concern.Accardi said she warned attendees not to be offendedor shocked by what they heard regardinglanguage and sexual content.“That’s the point,” Accardi said. “We are free toread whatever we want, regardless of content.”George Orwell’s “Animal Farm,” read by JeanAbshire, associate professor of political science,was challenged in the U.S. because of Orwell’s associationwith communism. It was also suppressedin Russia for being critical of communism.See BANNED BOOKS, page 2Photo by Sondra MorrisKim Pelle, coordinator for the Adult Student Center,discusses a passage from “Lady Chatterley’s Lover,” by D.H.Lawrence.NEW ALBANYIndiana University SoutheastNEWthe horizonVOL. 71, ISSUE 05DOWNLOAD USReceive news, features andsports all in theconvenience of your iPhone.Download the applicationfrom iTunes.QR CODEScan this QRcode with yourphone.ONLINE MEDIAAccess exclusive onlinecontent by visiting www.iushorizon.com as denoted withthese ONLINE icons to browsephotos, polls and more.ONLINEPhotosNewscast videoPolls/OpinionsCONTACT US812-941-2253horizon@ius.eduwww.iushorizon.comINDEXNews............................................................ 1, 2Sports ...............................................................3Events ..............................................................4Opinions .........................................................5Profiles .............................................................6Divisions .........................................................7Features...........................................................8

News2 the horizonWeek of Oct. 10, 2011New organization teaches socialist ideasBy STEVE NICHOLSStaffstevnich@ius.eduThe Youth for Socialist Action held its first introductoryand educational forum at IU Southeast inUniversity Center North, room 122. Its purpose is toinform, educate and find students who are interestedin their cause to join and build the IUS chapter.YSA is a youth affiliate of Socialist Action, whichis a Trotskyist political party that advocates LeonTrotsky’s theory of Marxism.For now, the YSA is a study group. However,Christian Litsey, English sophomore and one of thefounding members of YSA, said their main focus isto educate people on the theories of Marxism withthe hope to come together and form a cohesive disciplinedyouth organization that can help lead theworking class revolution.Litsey said the organization is one of many socialistmovements that are essential for the socialistrevolution to exist.“[Socialists] want a true equality for all people,”Litsey said. “It’s not everyone making the same.Equality is everybody getting what they need.”The YSA also stands for full liberation of workersand oppressed people, opposition to any discriminationbased on gender or sexual orientation andjobs for all by advocating a labor party based on theunions.“So, we want to organize the working class andthe creation of worker states worldwide,” Litseysaid, “By doing that, we seek to build socialism andthen on the path to a communism society.”During the YSA presentation, Levi Groenewold,history sophomore and founding member of YSA,said they are trying to build a revolutionary Socialistyouth organization. This idea is based on VladimirBanned booksReaders ponder prohibited publicationsCONTINUED FROM page 1“Any book challengedfor being communistand anticommunistis worth a read,”Abshire said.“The Lord of theRings,” by J.R.R. Tolkienwas burned outsidethe Christ CommunityChurch in Alamogordo,N.M., along with otherTolkien works, for beingsatanic.Anne Allen, professorof fine arts, read twopoems from “The Lordof the Rings,” after admittinghow she skippedall the poems when she first read them in the eighth grade but now lovesthem.“Banning books is all kinds of ludicrous enforcing ignorance,” Allen said.“Of Mice and Men,” by John Steinbeck had the most extensive record ofbeing banned.It was first banned in Ireland in 1953 and continues to be challenged in theU.S. for racial slurs and taking God’s name in vain.“If you believe the critics, it’s a worthless, profanity-riddled book,” RebekahDement-Farmer, adjunct professor of English, said. “I hope that’s notthe case because I’m teaching from it this semester.”Each excerpt illustrated the various reasons some found the texts to be offensive.What may have been the most graphic passage — “Lady Chatterley’s Lover,”by D.H. Lawrence — was read by Kim Pelle, coordinator for the AdultStudent Center. The book was first banned by U.S. Customs in 1929.“If you ever read the book, pay close attention to Chapter 12,” Pelle said.“To me, it was the most beautiful and sensual chapter of all.”Michael Abernethy, senior lecturer of communications, read Alice Walker’s“The Color Purple,” with a southern accent, and Jay McTyier, programanalyst for the Registrar, read in a British accent from “Brideshead Revisited,”by Evelyn Waugh.Accardi said she disagrees with the opinion that people are not readingbooks anymore.“I think people are reading just as much today as ever, but the format haschanged,” Accardi said. “E-books are very popular.”Sean Welch, political science junior and president of the Student Civil LibertiesUnion, read from “Catcher in the Rye,” by J.D. Salinger.He said he was happy to participate in the read out.“Anything that hints at censorship is right up [the CLU’s] alley,” Welchsaid.Welch also recommended the movie “Igby Goes Down,” as a modern versionof “Catcher in the Rye.”The other titles read at the event included “Their Eyes Were WatchingGod,” by Zora Neale Hurston, “Sula,” by Toni Morrison and “To Kill a Mockingbird,”by Harper Lee.the horizonPhoto by Steve NicholsChristian Litsey, English sophomore and one of the foundingmembers of Youth for Socialist Action, informs studentsabout the theories of Marxism and socialism.Photo by Sondra MorrisThomas Wolf, professor emeritus of political science,reads “To Kill a Mocking Bird” by Harper Lee during thebanned book reading in the IUS Library on Sept. 27.By BRYAN JONESStaffjonesbry@umail.iu.eduThe Student GovernmentAssociation begantheir meeting on Sept.29 by swearing in RyanMiller, education junior,as a full-time senator.Normally, senatorshave to go through atwo-week probationaryperiod before they canbecome full senators.However, since Millerwas a senator last fall,the SGA voted him in onSept. 22.“I would like a motionto open electionsfor the tech officer position,”Josh Sesar, mathjunior and SGA senator,said.The motion was secondedand the SGAnominated members.Miller was the onlysenator nominated forthe position, and whenthe SGA put it to a vote,the decision was unanimous.“I do appreciate everyone’sfaith in me,”Miller said. “I wouldlike to revamp our siteand get it updated.”Matt Owen, politicalscience junior and SGAsenate chair, said CandiceBoudreaux, businessjunior and formersecretary for the SGA,finally resigned.“Candice sent me herletter of resignation earlierthis week,” Owensaid. “She got an internshipand isn’t able to beactive at the meetings.”Owen also mentioneda bill that will show upnext week about purchasingoffice supplies.“I will be writing theLenin’s Marxist theory, which says, “Without revolutionarytheory there would be no revolutionarypractice.”“You can go out and take some kind of directaction — standing up against the capitalist system— but because youdon’t have a plan or anorganized method ofresistance, it’s just kindof doomed to just be aheroless act,” Groenewoldsaid. “At the sametime, if you have a revolutionarytheory, such asMarxism, and you don’timplement it, then thereis really no point to thattheory, and you won’tbe able to change societyfor the better unless youhave action.”Groenewold said they must be able to put theseMarxist theories into action through activism.Bronson Rozier, organizer for Socialist Action inSouthern Indiana and Northern Kentucky, has beenan active member of the socialist movement for 47years. Rozier said he attended the forum to supporthis comrades.“In a socialist society, there will be some differences,but it won’t be like this where 2 percent of thecountry owns 80 percent of the wealth,” Rozier said.“It’s going to be the majority that is in control of itall.”The majority includes the 84 percent of the workingclass population, which is defined as the oneswho sell their labor to the capitalist elite.“There are very well-paid working class people,”Groenewold said, “but the difference is [in aSocialist society] that profit — the production ofcapital — will no longer be the private property ofa small minority of people, but instead, that capitalwill be owned and controlled by the society as awhole.”bill up tonight,” Owensaid. “If any senator canthink of anything thatwe need then, let meknow or write up a billexplaining why.”Owen also talkedabout how studentshave been approachinghim for help.“I’m not real surehow to take it,” Owensaid. “It’s great.”Josh Kornberg, communicationsjunior andSGA president, saidTom Sawyer, chief informationofficer, wasimpressed with the reformationof the organization.“Tom would like tohave the design teamthat did the IUS site doour site,” Kornberg said.“We would have a clean,By CLAIRE MUNNSenior Editorclamunn@umail.iu.edu[Socialists]want trueequality for allpeople.Christian LitseyEnglish sophomore and oneof the founding members ofYouth for Socialist ActionSGA fills more positions, reformsStephon Moore, journalismfreshman, saidhe will be working on abulletin board for differentorganizations toOwen said the absenceof a press secretaryposition has also been“The problem is thatsince the position isn’tfilled, there is no one tooversee this committee,”through a lot of changeschange,” Kornberg said,“and we are changing afast and professionalsite.”hang fliers on.causing some trouble.Owen said.Kornberg said theSGA will be goingthis semester and next.“Our keyword oncampus this year islot.”IUS Police unable tofind slumped subjectOct. 4 at 7:42 a.m.IUS Police responded to a report of a manslumped over his vehicle on Alumni Drivenear the permit dispenser.

Profiles6 the horizonWeek of Oct. 10, 2011IUS student follows his dreams as drummerBy JENNIFER HARRINGTONStaffjeharrin@umail.iu.eduA student during the week anddrummer on the weekends, Tylerhaver, general studies senior, wasaised around music and said he nowas it running through his veins.Shaver is from Georgetown, Ind.,nd he said he was first exposed tousic around the age of three.His mother, Gina Summers-Emeron,is currently the lead singer for theountry rock band Backcountry.“Being around her and her showsnd practices, I just grew up aroundt,” Shaver said.Shaver began playing the drumshen he was 12 years old and becamemember of various bands at Floydentral High School.“I did marching band, I played onhe drum line and I did every bandossible in high school,” Shaver said.I did concert band, pep band and jazzband. I did full orchestra. That reallygave me a wide range of training.”When he started his college career,Shaver played for the IUS orchestraand concert band in 2007.Shaver said he joined the band 3Lane Highway, but the band did notdo well.After meeting different peoplehrough the band, however, he wasble to move on with his musical caeer.“I got an audition with the band’m with now, which is Rachel Timberlake,”Shaver said. “She got somesteam behind her, and they thoughtI was good enough to go along withthem and be their drummer.”Amanda Taylor, elementary educationsenior, has known Shaver forabout three years and has attendedsome of his band’s performances.“I saw his band perform at 4th StreetLive and also at the Harrison CountyFair,” Taylor said. “Both shows werereally great to watch. Tyler is a greatperformer, and I cannot wait to seewhere his career goes.”The band plays two shows everyweekend, which are usually out oftown. The only exception is an occasionallocal show in the Louisville andNew Albany area.“Throughout the summer, we wereplaying at least three or four times aweek,” Shaver said. “Then, as schoolstarts, we play two shows a weekend.It’s convenient because I think there’sonly going to be one week this entiresemester where I may have to miss aclass.”Shaver said he is able to practicemaybe twice a week if he gets thechance.Courtesy photoTyler Shaver, general studies senior, plays the drums during a performance. Shaver has been playing drums since he was 12 years old.“I do a lot of mental practice —practice in the car listening to music,”Shaver said. “I basically set my steeringwheel up as a drum set and mentallygo through the motions. That’spretty much how I learn new songs.”Besides playing a little keyboard,Shaver does not play any othermusical instrument other than thedrums.“There’s the one arrangement ofpercussion instruments that I play,”Shaver said, “but I don’t [play] anyother type of instrument.”Shaver said he also listens to practicallyall genres of music.“I listen to everything from NatKing Cole to the couple black metalbands on my iPod,” Shaver said. “I’mpretty big into heavy metal. To behonest, I really don’t listen to a wholelot of country outside of what I playand have to, but I do listen to literallyeverything.”Taylor said she is confident Shavercan make it to the big time.“I have faith in him,” Taylorsaid. “He can do anythinghe sets his mind to. I thinkthat Tyler has a lot ofmusical talent, andhe is great behindthe drums. He loveswhat he does, and itreally shows.”Shaver said he isglad he can follow hisdreams as a drummer.“I’m just glad thatI was given a skillset that I’m able toutilize and really followmy dreams,” Shaversaid. “It’s everybody’sdream to do what they loveto do. I’m thankful and fortunateenough to be able to do it. I’m reallyappreciative.”Student takes long journey to get to IUSBy JOSH WILSONStaffwilsjosh@ius.eduAngela Tanudjaja, marketing and advertisingenior, is taking initiative to gain experience in hereld of study.Tanudjaja recently completed internships at thector’s Theatre in Louisville and Ideology, an adertisingfirm in New Albany.“It’s very humbling,” she said about gaining thexperience.During her internship at Actor’s Theatre, sheorked in the marketing department.Actor’s Theatre has one of the largest intern proramsin the nation.
