Writing Center Opens at Library Location With the lure of cookies and coffee, the new Writing Center held its grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony on Aug. 29. Rather than in a room in Kettler Hall, or even in an office elsewhere, the new location is a bit unconventional.

The new Writing Center is located on the second floor of the library, which is now called the learning commons. Filled with chairs and tables rather than lined with bookshelves, it has the appearance of a lounge area.

“It's meant to be a place where students can study,” said Mary Arnold Schwartz, the center’s coordinator, on what the learning commons is. Instead of having a silent atmosphere like the rest of the library, however, this area is open for conversation and meetings.

To avoid distracting noise, some students have taken to putting on Jessica Geyer

headphones and drowning it out with music. Others cast scornful gazes at those who would dare disturb the library’s quiet.

The Writing Center itself melds with the rest of the floor. It can be difficult to tell where the learning commons ends and the center begins, with only a few cubicle walls partitioning semi-private spaces.

The openness may leave some students feeling exposed when coming in for consulting.

According to Schwartz, more exposure was the idea – for the Writing Center, that is.

“We don't serve enough of the student population,” she said. By putting the center in the middle of what is supposed to be a study area, more students will see and recognize it.

“We would like a much greater percentage,” Schwartz said of students who take advantage of the center’s services.

Secret Red Bull Stash on Campus

Red Bull is hiding 4-packs of the energy drink around college campuses nationwide. They are only to be found through clues given on redbullstash.com, and when they’re found the winners are placed into a contest for the “ultimate stash.”

An unconfirmed source said 14 packs were hidden on campus at IPFW Sept. 5. The source also said it was thought to be a “guerilla” style, without the campus’ knowledge.

While he said it would be fun, Student Activities Coordinator Thomas Landis said he didn’t know of any such activity taking place at IPFW. “Eventually they’d have to go through the university channels, and I haven’t heard anything,” he said.

Angela Centurioni, a Student Life employee, said “I haven’t heard a word.”

Matthew Willits, one of the lead consultants at the Writing Center and a recent IPFW graduate, said , “We get a lot of diversity in students.” He went on to say he's seen everyone from freshman in W131 “up to grad students looking for help with their master's thesis.”

“We're not a place where sucky writers go,” he added.

As students, the Writing Center consultants can be limited in what they can and cannot do in a session.

“We know we're not the professor,” said Willits.

Whereas faculty know their own grading rubric and exactly what they want in a paper, writing center consultants can only use the assignments as a guide. Because they aren't evaluative, they also cannot say whether an essay is good or bad. They can, however, point out strengths and weakness of the writer and see where they are or are not meeting the assignment's Kristan Mensch

Landis, later in the day, stumbled upon a Red Bull sticker marking a spot where a 4-pack was likely placed.

“Too slow! Someone beat you to the Red Bull,” the sticker read.

A corporate Red Bull representative could not verify the claim, saying, “Whatever goes on in individual markets is up to the individuals [in that market].”

requirements.

“Obviously we don't know everything, we don't have the expertise,” said senior and new consultant Elizabeth Goebbert.

Instead, they try to overcome the knowledge gap with various strategies.

“We're encouraged to collaborate with each other. It's almost frowned upon if you don't,” said Goebbert.

“Two heads are better than one, five heads are better than two.”

The fact that the consultants are peers rather than professors is another potential advantage.

“It's like sitting there talking to a friend,” said sophomore Maleah Fick, another new consultant.

Goebbert said “I think it's just less intimidating.”

The grand opening of the new location was highlighted with brief words from Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Dr. George McClellan.

The Red Bull Stash clues will be available Sept. 9.

Letter to the Editor I am writing you about an issue that I have with IPFW. Two separate IPFW offices have been sending me the same emails over and over again. Those offices consist of Financial Aid and the Bursar’s office. I have tried to resolve this issue with both offices and with IT Services. All offices have been uncooperative with me. Therefore, I have decided that I would write a public editorial expressing my frustration.

Gerry Curd, Associate Director in Financial Aid has said, “The system is setup to send the emails.” What he fails to acknowledge is that we are already two weeks into the semester and therefore it’s silly to be sending the same email saying “your financial aid has been approved.” Another point is what can four emails of the same subject do that one cannot do? I cannot provide the dates of all of the financial aid emails other than September 2, 2011.

I cannot recall the name of who I talked to in the Bursar office about the emails. However

the individual has said, “That shouldn’t be happening.” The dates for the Bursar emails are as follows: 9/2/2011, 8/29/2011, 8/25/2011, 8/23/2011, 8/18/2011, 8/15/2011, 8/12/2011, 8/10/2011, 08/08/2011, 08/04/ 2011 and finally 8/03/2011.

Glenn Morgan, Manager of IT Services Customer Service Center tried to address my issue but left me unsatisfied. He had me send the latest Financial Aid email to him and tried talking with Gerry Curd. Gerry Curd’s response to Glenn Morgan was what I included which is similar to what I heard in the past from Financial Aid. In the end I don’t know if a policy change is needed or if the programming needs changed. All I’ve been asking throughout this ordeal is that one email is enough for the same exact subject.

Don’t Let the Dialogue Stop University Parthenon ran an entire issue of their daily newspaper as advertisements, printing no articles to show students what vital information is lost when no one is talking about the issues.

So don’t let the dialogue stop. We journalists will keep reporting, but the student population has to take the interest and initiative to be part of the process. If something is important to a few students, chances are it will be important to others and The Communicator wants to help make those conversations happen. And for all the aspiring writers, getting journalistic experience starts here.

CORNER

CAREER

Journalists everywhere will tell you that the purpose of media is to inform, to safeguard the public from ignorance of the world around them. They’re the watchdogs meant to keep authority honest, in whatever form it may take.

Enter the student media.

While university publications and broadcasts may not be blowing whistles on government action - or inaction - or covering the state of affairs in foreign countries, they provide an important service nonetheless. We’re here to bridge the gap between the campus, the community and the many different voices that exist within the student body.

According to Julie Creek, a newspaper reporter of 22 years, the goal of any good newspaper is to create a dialogue and decide what’s important within a community.

As an independent media source, The Communicator can cover sporting events and popular culture alongside an article letting you know exactly how university actions are affecting you. Student journalists want to make their audience informed members of the campus community by presenting both sides of every issue so that readers can make up their own minds.

Campus media outlets also offer the opportunity for students to get a working knowledge of the world of professional journalism.

The Communicator and Mastodon Minutes, IPFW’s campus news broadcast, employ students as writers, editors, anchors, and camera operators.

As Creek pointed out, this gives students the ability to be a “work in progress,” making and learning from mistakes, and getting the experience they can later use to make a career.

Often times, the importance of student media isn’t seen until it is absent. The Marshall Staff Editorial

Choosing a major is one of the most confusing and challenging things a student does during their college career.

Connecting a major to a career is very challenging for many students. But remember, your major does not always determine your career. College graduates use their education in a wide variety of career fields. Taking advantage of the resources Career Services offers can help easy the stress in choosing a major.

One of the best resources for students to take advantage of is the upcoming Major’s Fair. The fair is held on Sept. 27 from 11:00 to 1:30 in the Walb Ballroom.

At the fair you can meet Faculty and Staff representatives from IPFW departments/ majors to answer questions about your “major” interests. If you’ve already chosen a major then just stop by to say hello to some of your professors and get free candy.

After you attend the majors fair,

come and see a career Hannah Stork counselor in the Career Services office in Kettler Hall 109. Our staff can offer you various career assessments to see which careers or majors fit you best. Our staff will use tools such as FOCUS, our free career assessment, to assess your interests, skills, and values. Plus you can stop by our office and research educational and occupational information using the Career Services library.

One of the best ways to determine your career path or major is by performing an informational interview. An informational interview is where you simply sit down with someone in the field that interests you and ask them about their job and career path.

Using resources such as the Majors Fair, career counseling, career assessments, and the resource library can help you on your path to choosing a major and a career that is right for you.

IPFW Ra A Forgot

Last week The Communicator reported the first part of a twopart series about IPFW’s forgotten radio station.

To recap, a radio tower that stands atop Kettler Hall was used to transmit IPFW’s radio station, WIPU from 1978-1982. The station was sold and became what is Alysen Wade now: 89.1FM WBOI. Dr. Steven Carr, Director of Graduate Studies and IPFW professor said that the university would support a radio station if a group of “really resourceful, really energetic students” could make it happen.

Erik Möllberg of Access Fort Wayne said that he was working to bring students and other members of the community together to determine the best use of a low power frequency station (LPFM).

Since the article was published last week, Möllberg reported that a few students had contacted him to express interest.

Tim Singleton is the General Manager of WBAA at Purdue University. In an attempt to answer questions enshrouding the past, he spoke about WIPU. As the acting manager of IPFW’s radio station in the summer of 1982, Singleton said he was not involved in the day-to-day operation of the station during its time on campus, but he was there from the beginning in 1978 as Assistant Professor in the Communication Department. He was responsible for supervising the radio and TV studios at IPFW. Contrary to what was previously assumed to be a student-operated project, Singleton pointed out that WIPU “didn’t directly involve students.”

He said that the station was an installment from Purdue University’s main campus and a staff of

Cage said there are “a lot of options” for investing in a radio station and that the cost “is like buying a car — to get your feet wet, you could get something running for a few thousand dollars.”

C a g e p o i n t e d o u t t h e option of LPFM encompassing other campuses to keep costs lower.

He said that a campus radio station could develop successfully as more people were willing to donate time and equipment.

Today Cage works as a marketing researcher specializing in broadcast media, financial services and higher education. He said that he is an advocate for college radio.

What if a group of present day students could organize for a campus radio station? Would the administration support it?

“I think it would be really neat to have a radio station on campus. It could be the voice of IPFW,” said Chancellor Wartell.

“The fundamental problem,” Wartell said: “is to get students who are by definition transient to pay constant attention. It would be really difficult.”

Paying for the station also poses a challenge: “There are ways of integrating it into the academic program, and there are ways for student fee money to pay for it.

It depends on what students want and how they decide to deploy their resources,” said Wartell.

The prospect for campus radio does exist.

Logistics need to be figured out with cost, budget and support factored in.

With help from administration, this would require a group of diligent students working to better the campus and the community long term.

Also, students must remember that it would be a slow process getting a frequency permitted by the Federal Communications Commission.

But Dr. Steven Carr reminded: “If no one ever asks or follows through, nothing is gained and nothing changes.”

Uniquely documenting the cultural impact and historical importance of professional baseball, Kadir Nelson's artwork from his award-winning authorial debut "We Are the Ship: The Story of Negro League Baseball" is currently on display at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art through Oct. 16.

Nelson's book is a chronicling of the early struggles and monumental successes of blacks in professional baseball. Focusing on the heyday of the Negro Leagues between a legendary and secretive gentleman's agreement amongst major league owners not to allow blacks on their teams to the infiltration of the majors some 60 years later by Jackie Robinson, "We Are the Ship" offers a glimpse of what life was like for black ballplayers in the first half of the twentieth century. Nelson writes from the perspective of a player during the era and the exceptional paintings he illustrates the book with transport the reader into the stands and onto the diamond.

"I began my love affair with the Negro Leagues while I was still a student at Pratt Institute," noted Nelson in his book. "I was asked to do a painting on the subject, one I knew relatively nothing about."

Through his research and the initial airing of documentarian Ken Burns' "Baseball" series on PBS, the artist became enthralled with and engrossed by the rich history of the Negro Leagues.

"Unfortunately, much of the visual information I was looking for is lost to history."

In an attempt to combat that lack of a visual record, Nelson would don a vintage baseball uniform and photograph himself as a model for many of his works. The results are phenomenal.

The subjects of these paintings stand larger than life with slightly exaggerated features, viewed as if they were from the perspective of a child gazing upon their larger than life idols. Fort Wayne Museum of Art's Curator of American Art, Sarah Aubrey, further praised the artists body of work.

"His treatment of light in 'Rube and the Giants' is stunning," she said. "His depiction of the musculature of the players and the textures of the uniforms is incredibly well done, and you can practically feel the dust flying up around you as Jackie Robinson steals home in 'Safe at Home' [pictured]."

The artist/author will be visiting the Fort Wayne Museum of Art Sept. 29 for a lecture and book signing session. The event begins at 6:30 p.m., costs $5 for museum members and $10 for non-members. Reservations are required and can be obtained by visiting fwmoa.org/reservations.

Aubrey added, "As author and illustrator of 'We Are the Ship,' [Nelson] can bring these images to life in a way no one else can."

"We Are the Ship" offers a snapshot of Jim Crow-era professional baseball and the importance of black ballplayers that time has almost forgotten.

Hipsters Conform to Mainstream Society Forget the scarves and wool knit caps worn only during summer. Lose the hornrimmed glasses. Drop the vinyl from obscure bands. Move out of that art studio or loft. Hipsters around the world are digging their way back up from the underground to join mainstream society.

Yes, the word hipsters hate the most: “mainstream.” By definition, mainstream means “the principal or dominant course, tendency, or trend.”

“People would continue to point out my music tastes and mock them, saying how I despise anything ‘mainstream,’” says reformed hipster Gus. “Even though it’s true, overtime, I just grew tired of it.”

No one is quite sure when the first hipster surfaced, but anyone will tell you that the first hipster is most likely still saying, “I was the first one.”

Zack Crook

Even students at IPFW have noticed the decrease in the number of hipsters, and a good majority of them is left with their jaws dropped.

“One day, there would be hipsters everywhere,” says IPFW junior Jillian Frue.

“They’d have a CD player in their hands, listening to whatever, and reading Freud. Over the last week, they’ve declined and have become rare.”

No one knows for sure why hipsters have rejected their alternative lifestyle. Some speculate that those, like Gus, are weary of being mocked. Others think that being a hipster itself has become mainstream, though opponents of this argument point out that that would be a contradiction. And one percent assume this is some conspiracy theory, most likely because of aliens.

One thing’s for certain: The hipster to first revert back to mainstream is saying that he or she was doing it before it was cool.

FOURTH Waiver claims, trades, and Week 1 Matchups and Inches Now that your team is drafted, there are a few tweaks here and there throughout the first couple of weeks that can really form your roster. You really want to try to keep most of your roster intact from your draft.

You need have confidence in the team you picked and let the games play out for a few weeks before making any major decisions.

Free agents are the best way to add depth to your team as the season starts. There is always one or two players that should have been drafted sitting in the free agent pool. Your job is to find them. After your team is set up and the league is generated, take some time and sift through all the free agents in your league. Wait until the waiver period has passed and then go after the guy you want. The only time you would use a waiver claim this early is if you are certain this guy could be a serious player on your team.

A player is put on waivers for a period of time when he is released from another team in your league.

Once the team drops that player he will be on waivers for about a two day period. This gives Lucas Davis

Week 1 Match-Ups Quarterbacks Philip Rivers, Chargers – He has a favorable matchup with the Vikings.

The Vikings are in a bit of transition and their defense has been steadily decreasing over the last few seasons. Nobody really talks about Rivers in terms of fantasy football, but his production has been in the top five of quarterbacks for the last few years. Rivers has Vincent Jackson back this year to team up with Malcolm Floyd at wide receiver. Antonio Gates has had some injury concerns but if he plays, he is the best tight end in the game. All of this bodes well for Rivers come Sunday.

Running Backs Peyton Hillis, Browns – Playing his first game against the woeful Bengals, Hillis is out to prove he isn’t a one year wonder. The situation couldn’t be better for him than going against Cincinnati. The Bengals have one of the league’s worst defenses and teams. If the Browns can get a lead, they are going to feed Hillis until his stomach is swollen. Hillis is a multi-threat; he provides tough yards on the ground and has nice hands for a running back.

Start him and you will be rewarded.

Wide Receivers DeSean Jackson, Eagles – Jackson is a big play threat. When healthy, he can beat anyone on the field at any time. With Michael Vick’s scrambling ability, Jackson will get his chances to stretch the field and make plays. Going against the Rams in game one is favorable for Jackson. The Rams aren’t sure what they are yet. Their offense is on the up and up, but the defense still has a question mark. I can see Jackson breaking free in the secondary a few times this week.

ever yone in the league time to check the transactions board to see who is newly available.

There is also a waiver period for two days once the games start on Sunday. Once the games start, every free agent is on waivers in case a major player has an injury or if a team goes with another player at a starting position half way through the game. It gives every team a chance to put a claim in on him.

This is where you want to be smart with your waiver claim. Your goal is to get the No. 1 waiver priority so you can get any player on waivers before any other team has a chance to get him.

You can also block another team from getting someone they really need. If you are near the top of the league standings and a new starting quarterback is available, it would be smart to claim him if a team ahead of you or behind is in serious need of a quarterback. You do this by holding on to the spot you have by not claiming someone on waivers for weeks at a time. Every time someone makes a claim in front of you, you move up in priority. So, use your claim wisely and don’t go after someone that you think will pass through waivers without being claimed.

All nighters, frat parties and a diet that consists primarily of Cap’n Crunch.

Yeah…you need health insurance.

Life happens. Especially to students. And accidents, illness — they don’t care if you don’t have health insurance and they don’t think you’re indestructible even if you do. That’s why there’s Indigo Individual™ from PHP. It provides the essential benefits of group health insurance to college students like yourself.
