When Catlett graduated from the Univer- sity of Iowa in 1940, she did so in style as one of three M.F.A. recipients, becoming the first woman and the first African-American to do so. Soon, she could join Adelaide Burge and Kate Daum on a list of women who have had residence halls named after them. Burge was a UI dean of women, and Daum was a director of nutrition at UI Hospitals & Clinics. The UI administration requested that the Madison Street dorm, which is under con- struction, be named in honor of Catlett at the regents’ meeting on Wednesday.

Thursday, September 8, 2015 horoscopes by Eugenia Last ARIES (March 21-April 19): Act on your own behalf. If you don’t like the information someone gives you, keep looking for answers and solutions. Take charge of your life, and refuse to give in to pressure from someone who is only looking out for her or his interests. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When it comes to your health, finances, or contractual matters, you will not think clearly. Take a moment to evaluate your situation before you make a decision that may affect you emotional- ly or physically. Don’t take unnecessary risks. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Do your best not to get into an argument. You’ll end up in a stalemate if you aren’t diplomatic. It’s best to keep the peace and offer support rather than criticism. Put your energy into mak- ing a positive personal change. CANCER (June 21-July 22): A problem will surface with one of your peers or someone who is in charge of teaching you new skills, making it difficult for you to do your part effectively. Working on your own will bring the best results. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You don’t have to take control or be in the spot- light today. Sit back, watch what others do, and learn from their expe- rience. Honing your skills will pay off more than trying to display them prematurely will. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t give in to someone who is trying to bully you into something you don’t want to do. Temptation can lead you astray and cost you emotionally, financially, and physically if you aren’t careful. Saying “no” is an option. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Problems will be apparent, but expanding or diversifying your knowledge and skills will help you bring about positive changes. Nurture an important relationship, and make a promise to work together to build a brighter future. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Someone will try to influence your train of thought. Be true to yourself, and follow through with your plans to avoid dissatisfaction because of your inability to say “no.” Don’t give in or give up. Do what feels right. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Stick to what you know, and do as much as you can from home. The less interaction you have with others, the easier it will be to get things done. Dealing with authority figures or institutions will not be in your best interests. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Let your experiences lead you in the right direction. Someone will use emotional manipulation to confuse you. Don’t defer to anyone who puts demands on you or tries to get some- thing for nothing. You’ve got the upper hand. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Opportunity is heading your way. The changes you make will result in a higher income or personal changes that will make you look and feel your best. Take care of your needs, not someone else’s responsibilities. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t feel as if you can’t make changes or do things differently. Refuse to be bullied into something that is not in your best interest. Follow the path that will lead to your good fortune, not someone else’s. Speak up, and help those who are deserving.

By NICHOLAS MOREANO [email protected]

The Iowa women’s tennis team is only in its second week of practice, but the players know firsthand about head coach Sasha Schmid’s rigorous fitness program. Schmid’s goal is to make her play- ers physically and mentally exhausted so when it happens during the season, the players will know how to overcome that Schmid and play to the best head coach of their abilities. The thought pro- cess behind the strategy is that if her players have experienced ad- versity and fatigue in practice and worked on getting through them, it is second nature during matches when the same hits them. “I’m trying to encourage them that every time they’re in a posi- tion where they are uncomfortable, they’re stressed, to try to settle in and learn from it,” Schmid said.

Sean Lewis’ new play, Black and Blue, explores the subject of police brutality and opens Friday at Riverside Theatre.

By ISAAC HAMLET | [email protected]

age is a bubbling, righteous feeling. Like a hot coal burning in your gut, it commands attention. Like a pain-pressured shriek, it demands to be heard. “Part of it was just pure rage,” said Sean Lewis, the artistic director at Riverside Theatre. “Rage is good. It doesn’t let you sleep. It lets you write a lot more.” The product of this rage was Black and Blue, a new play débuting at Riverside Theater on Friday that tackles the top- ic of police brutality. “What honestly happened is we got the rights to a play about the same subject matter,” Lewis said. “Then the agent contacted us back and said they felt that Iowa City was ‘too small of a market to have that conversation.’ So I tried to find other plays on that subject matter, and I couldn’t find any. I’m sure they exist, I just couldn’t find them.” He was upset and shocked that an Iowa City stage — or any stage for that matter — could be considered too small to handle a certain subject, particularly one as pressing as police brutality. So Lewis, fewer than three full months into his stint as artistic director, took it upon himself to write a new play.

LIT PICKS THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH DRINK OF THE WEEK THE GIRL WITH THE LOWER BACK TATTOO, BY AMY SCHUMER By now, everyone has heard of Amy Schumer — the ballsy, unapologetic come- dian and actor. Her first book puts all of that energy on the page. In the autobi- ographical recount, she doesn’t rely on petty sarcasm but rather her own emotional resilience. It is at once unguarded, political, and authentic. She shares the experienc- es that made her who she is. The book is not your average comic recount of embar- rassing teenage moments; though there are those as well (it is still a funny book, as one would hope). Bonus: it is currently a No. 1 New York Times Bestseller.

OF MICE AND MEN, BY JOHN STEINBECK

“Opposites attract” has never been quite as relevant as with this beloved story’s protagonists, George and Lennie. If not attract, then “need.” The former of the two drifters is a sharp, levelheaded man, the latter a childlike victim of his own strength and displaced cruelty. They are some of the most fascinating, average workmen to ‘RASPBERRY PROVINCIAL’ grace the literary canon. One of Steinbeck’s most popular works addresses the hard- ship of the era, America’s wandering, lonely souls, and — wait for it — friendship.
