this morning the c-span bus is on the campus of indiana university, in bloomington, indiana. on it, we're joined by the president of indiana university, michael mcrobbie. president mcrobbie, thank you for joining us. >> delighted to be here. and welcome to indiana university. >> thank you for the invitation. can we start, president, with your general thoughts, before we talk about the details of the university? but your thoughts on the an we greatest challenges facing those in higher education today? >> oh, i'd say that probably the greatest challenge in front of us is to continue to provide a quality and affordable co education, especially to the students within the state of indiana. a state university, afterre all, and keeping that education tth affordable, but also ensuring its haquality, so that our students are graduating with very high-level skills that will enable them to prosper in the workplace. i think it's onet of the greatt challenges. and of course, that involves a whole range of factors to do with the sources of funding for an institution with a budget of $3.3 b

they have now found seven bodies of women in hammond, indiana, and gary, indiana. let's bring in the host of "legal view," ashleigh banfield, who is covering this story for us. they find a suspect and he's allegedly cooperating. he leads us to six other bodies of women. update our viewers here in the united states and indeed and around the world. >> this is a very fast-developing case, wolf, of what appears to be a serial killer allegedly operating in the indiana area. like you said, friday night a woman is killed in a motel 6. by saturday, the police chief just announced that they used phone tracking to find their suspect the next day who apparently, according to the chief, admitted to the officers that he, quote, messed up by committing the crime in hammond and that was the tip of the iceberg. he admitted to six other killings. it's one thing to confess, wolf, as we all know, people confess to all sorts of things that they do but they cannot lead you to bodies unless they know something more and according to the police, that's exactly what that suspect, 43-year-o

i didn't imagine i was running the state of indiana. i was possibly trying to make -- it's government operated, and i think we did a lot to improve that. but the state really is the sum of the energies and the activities, the businesses, that it's citizens start and lead and operate. and i always saw the job there as try ing ing to create the conditions where the important part of life, private lives of people and private sector could flourish. it's a little like that here too. i'm not running this place. i'm trying to make its institutional apparatus work that our faculty can do the best teaching they k the world changing research that they do and that our students have the maximum chance as we have been discussing to learn as much as possible and go out and be successful citizens. there's a difference, of course, when you try to lead for results or manage, let's say, for results in the absence or the apparent absence of competition. you have to find other ways to motivate and measure and then reward people. but in the end, there is a

in gary, indiana. >> he is a native of indiana but spent five years in present in -- in prison in texas for rape. his ex-wife is shocked because he never mistreated her. his son always thought he was weird. he was acting strangely, said his neighbor. not know that fun meant that he was doing what he was doing it. maybe he wanted to get caught. maybe he was just tired of running. >> he is intelligent and very well read. a brother has come forward to apologize. police officer was shot and killed a 17-year-old boy after a foot chase. carseen was breaking into and he pulled a knife and slashed one of the tires of a police squad car and try to break a passenger window. he waved a knife and they shot him. debatelast governor's was last night. quinn was a failure and illinois is the worst run state in the country. the election is now just two weeks away. >> president clinton comes to campaign for governor quinn. >> the cdc is issuing new guidelines to protect medical workers from ebola. no skin can be exposed. nursesmes after two contracted ebola from thomas duncan. a family in rock island is

she's the mayor of gary, indiana, and i also have gary mckinley, the chief police of gary, indiana. is there anything that you can update us on? miguel marquez has been giving us what we know so far. what more do you know, sir? >> well, the only thing that i can say is it's still under investigation. they are the person of interest at the hammond police department. they are still getting statements from him so it's still ongoing. >> and the statements that you're getting from him, there's reporting that he's very cooperative. can you characterize this person? tell me what he's like and what he's like in custody? >> well, i don't really know what he's like in custody. he's been very cooperative at this time. >> and cooperative in that he has led your officers to locations where these bodies have been found. it's air tight that there's no way that those officers would have gone to these locations without what he said? >> that's correct. with the information that he's given to the officers, they have been able to follow up and coordinate the locations. >> has he given a reason for any

indiana is no exception. if you committed a prior murder, you can be eligible for the death penalty. the other thing to think about is in the complaint that i reviewed, he'sles al charged with robbery. why is that significant? a lot of people might say, robbery seems like a much lesser felony. that can be an aggravating felony -- >> and it takes it to a felony murder status. >> yes. even an unintentional death during the commission of something like robbery, which is a dangerous felony, not only gets you to murder but potentially makes you eligible for -- >> i think kidnapping would fit that bill as well. sunny, speaking about the violent nature -- not to suggest any murder isn't violent -- but in these particular crimes, we know there's a rape involved. how on earth does someone get away from an aggravated rape committed in 2007, attacking a 25-year-old woman that he had arranged to meet, strangling her, raping her when her body went limp and he served five years? >> that's what's remarkable. rape is a viole

when indiana's i.d. law made it to the supreme court of the united states, the justices ruled there is no clear evidence that demonstrating that those laws harm voters. those who push to change voter i.d. requirements in state after state say that the measures are meant to prevent voter fraud. what those same legislature has not provided is the evidence that voter fraud happens very much. but sponsors of the legislation say that the evidence is sparse not because fraud doesn't occur but because it's rarely investigated or prosecuted. voter i.d. and the changing voter land cape is our focus this time on "inside story." >>> as midterm elections loom, rules on stricter i.d. laws have volleyed back and forth. in a form of poll tax intended to discriminate she wrote that the court holds that the law creates an unconstitutional burden in the right to vote, and has an impermissible discriminatory effect against hispanics and african-americans. this week the story was put on hold for the fifth circuit saying the

and she didn't move back to indiana. because we really had, we had no ties to indiana. she moved back to chicago. but my daughter was, she was -- she was a unique individual. she can walk into a room and just light it up with her smile and her laugh and just her presence. afrikka never met a stranger. she loved everybody. that was part of her problem. she was a little naive on trusting people. and she was talented. she could sing. >> there is video of her singing. we understand sunny whe was qui wonderful singer. >> yeah. she could write you a poem. she could write a short story. her mind just sponged everything. she was -- sunny whe was a frie everybody. i, i am reading on her, you know, her facebook wall. and just people, you know messaging me that afrikka touched me, people are saying she touched me. helped me, you know -- sunny was there for me when i didn't have anybody else. >> did she ever, ms. townsend, did she ever mention anything was wrong, when was the last tomb you spo time you spoke to her? did she say anything was wrong? >> the last time i spoke to her, m

all he had to do was cross the state line into indiana. there, he scoured the state for gun shows, filling duffel bags with dozens of guns. he brought them back to chicago and resold them on the street. >> he could bias many guns as he wanted, because indiana has no restrictions on state residents buying weapons from private dealers. after flashing an indiana driver's license, he wasn't required to fill out any paperwork on the weapons gun shows. those guns nearly impossible to trace back to him made their way to chicago's most violent street gangs. >> of those guns being used in shootings by gaining members, a high percentage are coming from indiana than anywhere else. >> so america tonight decided to visit an indiana gun show with hidden cameras, to see how easy it might be to set up a straw purchase. at the fairgrounds in lafayette, thousands of guns from a.q.47 semiautomatic rifles to 357 magnum revolvers were on display. my producer posed as a straw purchaser from indiana and we attempted to buy guns. we spoke with a federally license

in indiana, i've denied it. i learned the federal government is not a well loved institution and congress, even worse. so i don't know, i guess it was a clintonesque kind of deny, deny, deny. i say that that was my brother skippy who was actually in the white house and it was not your attorney general. but, i think i've resolved my checkered past by suing the federal government a number of times. that's very popular in the state of indiana. let me explain when i come to washington, i have to explain a little about states. what you've read in books and what people think about states in washington often is not exactly true. so first of all, it's true that all states are sovereign, and yet all states are not alike. since we're sovereign, we have our own ability to create our sovereign government in the way that we choose. indiana is 1 of 6 states that has chosen what i think is a little more conservative path from our history, and we've created the office of the attorney general as a statutory office. the other sta

so you not only have people here, police here continuing to search in gary, indiana, hammond, indianae authorities in cook county searching in these abandoned homes. >> joey, when will you expect charges in the other deaths to be filed against this man? >> that's the critical question because certainly we know or the police think they know that they have evidence linking him to the crime that poppy was just speaking of. however, the investigation continues and although today he'll be formally charged, you know, in at least one of the deaths, we certainly would expect that the investigation would be ongoing. so the question really turns on when police are confident in whatever jurisdiction, at whatever location they believe he had committed crimes and they have enough evidence to bring charges against him, member one and that those charges are viable and strong enough to stick, number two. we know there are confessions apparently that he made and the investigation is ongoing, not only as to the bodies that he's admitted to and they're searching other places that he has not admitted to.

now, we have the same kind of data in indiana. indiana's law went all the way to the united states supreme court. the court called it the strictest voter id law in the country at the time. the court upheld the law. set it was constitutional and said requiring and ideas is not a substantial burden on voters. indiana, like every other state that has passed a law like this, provides a free id to anyone that does not have one. contrary to what you may think, that opinion was not written by and not voted on just by the five conservatives on the court. the majority of the opinion was written by justice john paul stevens, one of the liberal stalwarts on the court before he retired. in the 2008 election when the law was in place for the first time, indiana had one of the largest ea largest increases in democratic turnout of any state in the country. in 2010, the turnout went up again, including black voters. in 2012, this is not my opinion, this is the u.s. census bureau -- the u.s. census bureau reports that in 2012, blacks voted at a hi
