[AI-Generated Summary] IU NewsNet Daily broadcast highlights how the Indiana University community is adapting to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting campus closure. A major focus is the cancellation of the Little 500 bicycle race for the first time in history, which left senior riders disappointed while raising past concerns regarding unsafe track conditions and "track hack" caused by construction debris. The broadcast also covers various community responses to the crisis: nursing and medical students are obtaining temporary licenses to enter the healthcare workforce early, IU Dining is providing emergency meals to students, and a local rental group issued an apology after briefly seizing appliances from tenants unable to pay rent. Additionally, the news notes that graduating seniors are receiving their caps and gowns by mail for home photos, while the IU Ballet Department has transitioned to Zoom classes, culminating in a collaborative dance video to Whitney Houston's "I Want to Dance With Somebody" to maintain morale and connection across the distance.
