New textbook programs to cut costs By Stephanie Snay NEWS EDITOR
Follett Higher Education Group launched Rent-A-Text in fall 2009 at 27 pilot schools and saved students nearly $6 million in two terms. Starting this fall, the University of Indianapolis bookstore is adopting Rent-A-Text. “We want textbooks to be as affordable as possible,” said Lesley Noriega, bookstore manager. “We really care about the students. Especially during these economic times, with the cost of education rising, we want students to be able to afford their books.” The Rent-A-Text program promises to save students 50 percent or more on the cost of their textbooks In order to be eligible to rent textbooks, students must be 18 or older, have a valid government issued ID and a branded debit or credit card for collateral. Parents can rent textbooks for students under 18. The rental period is one semester long with an option to extend and pay another rental fee. If students choose to extend rental periods, buy the book or want to know the exact date the book will be due back, then they can find all of that information on the bottom of their receipts. “One thing I want students to be careful about is that if you happen to need a book for two semesters, it might be cheaper to buy a used book rather than to pay the rental fee twice,” Noriega said. Previously, students have rented textbooks from popular Web sites such as Chegg or Campus Book Rentals. However, renting textbooks through the Rent-A-Text program at the university bookstore offers additional options.

“You get to see the book. You can choose between new or used,” Noriega said. “We also allow highlighting and writing notes in the book, which Chegg doesn’t.” Not all textbooks will be available for rentals; about 40 percent of the bookstore titles can be rented. Noriega said that bookstore personnel have received positive feedback since implementing Rent-A-Text. The Rent-A-Text program is not the only effort to shrink textbook prices. The
Higher Education Opportunity Act, which was effective on July 1, includes several provisions within the Textbook Affordability Act written by Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin to make textbooks more affordable. Three of these major changes are public disclosure, unbundling and course scheduling disclosures. Public disclosure means disclosing the prices of textbooks to professors. Unbundling refers to the discontinuance of extra fees students pay for all the extra materials that come with a textbook, such as workbooks or CDs. Course scheduling
disclosure means that the prices of the books will be listed when students schedule courses. Disclosure will help both professors and students alike. “Dick Durbin is right when he says that professors don’t know how much books cost. And to be sure, when I ask publishers’ representatives about the price, they often can’t tell me how much the book will actually cost when sold in the university bookstore,” said Associate Professor of History James Fuller. “At UIndy, most professors really do
care about their students and work to make the best decisions they can when it comes to ordering books. The new law will make it easier for us.” Fuller said that the new law promises to give more information and allow professors to make cost-conscious decisions as they order books. Hopefully through programs such as Rent-A-Text and the Textbook Affordability Act, students will be able to relieve their pocketbooks and higher education will become more affordable.

Student killed in car crash on Interstate 70 By Jacki Dillman EDITOR - IN - CHIEF Steven Ashmore passed away on Aug. 8, after sustaining critical injuries in a head-on automobile accident. Ashmore, a University of Indianapolis junior and biology major., was 21-years-old. The accident occurred in the early morning on Aug. 6, and police believe that alcohol was a factor in the crash. Ashmore’s vehicle was westbound on I-70 east when it struck the vehicle of 19-year-old Justin Markel. Markel also was seriously injured in the accident. Both

Pepsi replaces Coke on campus
Labor union members doing construction on Hanna Ave. strike
By Kenny Norman ONLINE EDITOR Coca-Cola and Sprite fans will have to go off-campus starting this fall to find their favorite beverages. The University of Indianapolis signed a five-year contract allowing Pepsi-Cola to replace Coca-Cola as UIndy’s main beverage provider. The switch occurred over the summer, and the full transition took about two weeks, starting with all fountain drink machines. Director of Athletics Sue Willey oversees the beverages provided in the athletic facilities on campus and also which drinks are NCAA-approved. UIndy’s athletics department also has to use coolers from whatever company provides their beverages, so Pepsi-Cola coolers will replace the Coca-Cola coolers. “Pepsi really wanted our business,� Willey said. UIndy’s Coca-Cola contract expired in August 2010, so UIndy put out a request for proposals on the beverage contract in preparation for a new beverage provider. According to Willey, Pepsi-Cola was offered the contract because they wanted to make a bigger impact on campus than Coca-Cola. Willey and Ted Polk, head of Polk Food Services, said that Coca-Cola had little interest in continuing business on UIndy’s campus. This was indicated by drink machines that failed to properly dispense ice and Coca-Cola’s lack of initiative to fix them. Pepsi-Cola, on the other hand, was eager for the business and offered drink machines with working ice dispensers. Polk said there were various reasons for the switch, including Coca-Cola’s reluctance to replace worn or malfunctioning equipment. “Pepsi provided better equipment with the right ice dispensers,� Polk said. The switch is campus-wide, except for canteen vending machines, which belong

to a separate account. It does not cost anything for UIndy to switch from Coca-Cola to Pepsi-Cola. UIndy allows Pepsi-Cola to operate its machines on UIndy property, and in return, Pepsi-Cola provides money for scholarships and increases support for UIndy athletic events. Polk said that UIndy offered Pepsi-Cola and Coca-Cola products side-by-side years

Charles Miller, works for the organization and was instrumental in organizing this event.â&#x20AC;? Choosing Ruth Lilly Performance Hall as the location for this benefit recital seemed the best choice to Allegra. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mom has worked at UIndy for many years, which is mainly why we chose it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;UIndy, however, is also a convenient location in Indianapolis where the local community could attend as well as many individuals who were personally invited.â&#x20AC;? For this recital, Rebecca and Allegra played together on one piano for certain selections and two pianos for other selections. Some selections for one piano included a set of variations by Schubert, a Mozart Sonata and a Brahms Hungarian Dance. Selections for two pianos included â&#x20AC;&#x153;Scaramouceâ&#x20AC;? by Darius Milhaud and a suite of pieces by Richard Rodney Bennett, which included â&#x20AC;&#x153;Samba Triste,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Country Blues,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ragtimeâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finaleâ&#x20AC;? in a rock style. The Sorleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoped to raise $2,500 dollars at the recital. According to Rebecca, that is the amount of money needed to provide a life-saving heart surgery for one child or infant in a developing country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parents in third world countries have virtually no chance of saving their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives without this surgery,â&#x20AC;? Rebecca said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but doctors donate their time, and with this money, travel to the site and perform surgery.â&#x20AC;? Allegra believes that considering the number of people who attended the recital, they raised a great amount of money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were 50 to 60 people in attendance,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though this may not seem like a particularly large audience, we were still able to raise $1,900 dollars.â&#x20AC;? This amount, however, was only the money they were able to raise on-site, and Rebecca said she hopes to raise more from Web site donations at babyheart.org.
Members of Teamsters Local 716 working on Hanna Avenue construction went on a nineday strike in protest of an alleged unfair labor practice on the part of Spurlino Materials, a construction materials supplier. According to Teamsters Local 716 President Jim Cahill, Spurlino illegally discharged union member Gary Stevenson from his work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Striking is always a last resort because in a strike both sides lose,â&#x20AC;? Cahill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yet sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most effective course of action.â&#x20AC;? The strike, which took place between August 3 and August 11, and which Cahill said effectively slowed down progress on the construction project, was not enough to convince Spurlino to reinstate Stevenson to his job, nor was the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), a federal agency designed to â&#x20AC;&#x153;prevent and remedy unfair labor practices committed by private sector employers and unions,â&#x20AC;? according to nlrb.gov. The board conducted a formal hearing in regards to the dispute between the union member and Spurlino. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The NLRB ruled in our favor and ordered Spurlino to reinstate Stevenson and give him back pay,â&#x20AC;? Cahill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They refused, and now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve permanently replaced him. So now the whole thing is going to court.â&#x20AC;?

Playing piano for charity isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a new feat for mother-daughter team Rebecca and Allegra Sorley. On Sunday, Aug. 8, University of Indianapolis Associate Professor of Music Rebecca Sorley and daughter Allegra showcased their musical ability in the Ruth Lilly Performance Hall at the University of Indianapolis Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center to raise money for the International Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heart Foundation (ICHF). According to the ICHF Web site, the ICHF is an organization dedicated to providing life-saving operations for children with heart defects in developing countries where there are no properly-trained surgeons. The Web site also states that most families are told to send their children to other countries for these surgeries, which cost money most families will never see. The ICHF is able to operate on these children due to donations they receive. Allegra, a sophomore piano performance major at the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University said she and her mother were inspired to hold a benefit recital for the ICHF because of Allegraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-time best friend Alexandra Miller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alex was born with a congenital heart defect. Because she was born in the United States with the access to qualified doctors and medical technology, she is alive,â&#x20AC;? Allegra said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Currently, she is 19 years old. The ICHF is able to give children a chance at survivalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a chance to turn 19 years old.â&#x20AC;? This is not the first time Rebecca and Allegra have performed a benefit recital in honor of Miller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the past, Allegra and I did a benefit for the American Heart Association in honor of Alex,â&#x20AC;?

UIndy teams receive academic awards By Elizabeth Wheeler SPORTS EDITOR Seven University of Indianapolis athletic teams became the 2009-2010 recipients of the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) NCAA Division II Academic Award. On June 23, GLVC recognized 66 teams (51 women’s teams and 15 men’s teams) from 15 different institutions for their success in the classroom. To qualify for the GLVC Team Academic Award, the teams must maintain a minimum accumulative GPA of 3.30 on a 4.0 scale. The UIndy 2009-2010 recipients of COVINGTON the Academic Award include the women’s cross country (3.38), golf (3.69), tennis (3.37), and soccer teams (3.31), as well as the men’s tennis (3.41) and soccer teams (3.31). “It’s very rewarding to be apart of the tennis team Academic Team Award,” said sophomore tennis player Alex Covington. “I know we all studied really hard and worked really hard for school and our sport. It’s nice to know all of those all-nighters paid off.” According to the GLVC Web site, the seven UIndy teams put the university fourth in the league. The top three spots went to first place winners Drury University and Maryville University and third place winner Rockhurst University. Daryl Gibbs, assistant director of academic athletics, said the University has broken its previous record with seven teams receiving this award. “I’m very proud and happy for the teams to receive awards like these,” Gibbs said. “They promote the fact that sports aren’t just about the game, GIBBS but about academics as well.” Covington said when it came to studying, the team was helpful and remembers several times when members of the team would set up meeting times in the library for study sessions. “The University of Indianapolis doesn’t have mandatory study tables, but individual teams may set their own,” Gibbs said. “Also all student athletes must hold a GPA of 2.5 to compete in games and competitions.”
