Staying afloat during college price increases Presidential proposals seek to help students By Anna Wieseman NEWS EDITOR During the State of the Union address on Jan. 24, President Barack Obama outlined proposals to make college more affordable for students. Three weeks ago, the University of Indianapolis announced a 3.5 percent increase in tuition plus an increase in room and board.The recent proposals from President Obama are intended to help students currently enrolled in college stay there, even with increases in prices. College increases reached up to 6.5 percent over the years at other universities, according to a report by the College Board. The president outlined various solutions that he believes will help students afford college. One suggested solution would increase the number of work-study programs to help middle and lower income families afford college. Many workstudy programs give students the opportunity to earn money working on campus. Director of Financial Aid Linda Handy believes that an increase in work-study money would benefit students. “We can use more work-study money. We have not had what we consider our fair share of those moneys,” Handy said. “It all goes back to how the money is allocated. And so the university hasn’t had enough. In fact, we run out of work-study money each year.” Handy said that an increase in work-study programs would significantly help students but would not be the driving force behind why students might choose a college. “Work-study is not a good recruiting tool. It’s more a matter of helping students once they get here,” Handy said. “Once they get here, [it will help them] to find enough resources to be able to make it financially feasible for them to stay, as opposed to it being a real recruiting tool.” Other proposals include changing the way federal loans are structured. Under some of these changes the Perkins Loan and others would receive more money to benefit more students. An increase in these programs could help colleges reevaluate financial aid and how much money they can give to students. “What you’ll see is probably that colleges will look more at how they structure their financial aid to address some of this,” said Director of Admissions Ron Wilks. “As well, I think that probably what you’re seeing is there are students that are qualifying for more need. There are probably some students, given the economy, that are qualifying for more federal and state aid programs that are out there.” The recent UIndy increases have raised questions about the affordability of the institution. While the increase may come as a burden to students, Handy praises UIndy for keeping the increase low. “The university has done an excellent job over the last few years in keeping tuition increases to a modest level,” Handy said. “Any increase is not good, from the students’ point-of-view, but we are still, amongst the private schools, one of the most affordable institutions out there.” Both Handy and Wilks suggest that students explore all options before making decisions about the affordability of the college they are attending or want to attend. “I think the thing for families to think about is not necessarily jumping to the conclusion that it’s not going to be possible for them to attend the college of their choice,” Wilks said. “I think there’s this hesitancy, [this tendency] to say, ‘there is no way I can afford that.’ And sometimes the families are not necessarily aware of what help is actually out there.” Wilks believes that tuition increases will not cause students to stay away from colleges but will make them think harder about their final choice.

2011 Nobel Peace Prize winner Leymah Gbowee spoke in Ransburg Auditorium on Feb. 15 at 2:30 p.m. Gbowee is a peace activist and women’s rights advocate. She helped lead a coalition of Christian and Muslim women, the Liberian Mass Action for Peace, which staged public protests to help put an end to the Liberian Civil War that endured for 14 years. Gbowee accepted the award along with Yemeni activist Tawakkul Karman and Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the woman who replaced Liberian president Charles Taylor after he was forced to resign and also the first female elected head of state in modern Africa. The speech was jointly presented by the UIndy International Relations program and the Sagamore Institute. Gbowee told her story about why she wanted to make a difference. She described the conditions that Liberia faced as having gone from bad, to worse, to ridiculous and she knew that change was needed. “We wanted the world to see that there was another side of that story,” Gbowee said. “Whatever we did, we were going to see [the] light of peace in our nation.” Gbowee said that her actions were guided by her desire to rebuild sisters one woman at a time. That led to keeping the community together and rebuilding and reconciling a divided nation. “Make the best of what you have, because all you can do for yourself is make your community better one person at a time,”

Gbowee said. After the speech and a standing ovation from the packed audience, Gbowee opened the floor to any questions. Associate Professor of International Relations Jyotika Saksena played a crucial role in setting up the lecture. She said that getting Gbowee to speak on campus was made possible by the international relations program’s strong partnership with the Sagamore Institute. “They wanted to know if we would partner with them, and the result was this collaborative event,” Saksena said. Gbowee’s speech was part of a series of events. “Pray the Devil Back to Hell,” a documentary featuring Gbowee, was shown Feb. 12 at 8 p.m. in Room 010 of the Schwitzer Student Center, and another documentary was shown Feb. 20 at the same location and time. Saksena believes that Gbowee shared an important message with the campus community. “This is about how an ordinary person can make a big change,” Saksena said. “I think she used non-cooperation as opposed to violence to achieve her goal–like Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Gandhi and Rosa Parks,”Saksena said.“She wasn’t some big person in politics, or a social leader, but she got a lot of people together and had an idea of ending violence. In a world where there is so much war going on, for someone to end a conflict purely by peaceful means, civil disobedience–it’s a big lesson for us.” Associate Professor of Philosophy and Religion Michael Cartwright also played an important role in setting up this event.

“This really is a wonderful opportunity for the campus community,” Cartwright said. “Leymah Gbowee is in some ways Liberia’s Martin Luther King Jr. She is this incredible leader who has managed to use non-violence and her own ingenuity to bring warring factions together. And when you are dealing with Charles Taylor and the war lords in Liberia, that’s no small accomplishment.” Gbowee has continued her work by serving as the executive director of the Women Peace and Security Network Africa, which aims to strengthen women’s capacities to sustain their engagement in conflict prevention, peace building and peace support, among other things. “There are people at Manchester [College] who remember [Martin Luther] King [ Jr.] speaking,” Cartwright said. “This is not the same time and not the same situation, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if in 40 years people are saying,‘I was there when Leymah Gbowee spoke.’ She’s just really that kind of important moral figure.” Cartwright also said that Gbowee provides students who have a deep longing to make a difference in the world with a great example of how she was able to make a difference with other people. During the question-and-answer portion of the event, Gbowee spoke about how small actions can make large differences. “You see the little changes in communities, and it’s difficult to ignore,”Gbowee said. “Even the seemingly powerless are very powerful and can bring about changes.”

Ticket scam hits campus

Posters circulate campus advertising advance tickets to a fake concert By Kaley Belakovich & Anna Wieseman MANAGING EDITOR & NEWS EDITOR

A campus-wide email by Associate Vice President for Student Affairs Kory Vitangeli notified students on Thursday that posters had been placed around campus advertising advance tickets to a fake concert. The advertisement said that the concert would feature J. Cole and Katy Perry, with a guest appearance by the “Jersey Shore” cast. The poster claimed that advance tickets could be purchased for $15 each, as opposed to $60 at the door. The poster also claimed that the concert would take place on Saturday, Feb. 18, at Primo Banquet Hall. Vitangeli, who also serves as dean of students, said that no such concert had been planned. “You could tell by the poster that it was probably not a legitimate concert. So we did get them [the posters] down and let the [residence] hall staff know if they saw them in the halls [to take them down],” Vitangeli said. “They had tried to get some stuff into the residence halls as well—and so people were letting the police know what was going on.” According to the police report, the University of Indianapolis Police Department conducted an investigation around 1:23 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 16. Officer Michael Horn contacted the owner of Primo Banquet Hall, who informed Horn that there was no such concert scheduled, and in fact a wedding was booked for Saturday, Feb. 18, the same day the advertisement claimed the concert would take place. Chief of Police Mick Reddick suggested that people should question something that seems like an extreme bargain. “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is,” said Reddick, who also serves as the director of campus safety. “So just ask the venue.” According to the police report, Horn then called the number listed on the poster and spoke with a male later identified as Andress Evans. Horn then made arrangements to purchase 22 tickets from Evans. Evans arrived at Nicoson Hall at approximately 1:30 p.m. and sold 22 tickets to Campus Police Patrol Officer Ron Olson. Olson paid with money that had been photocopied before the purchase, according to the police report. After the transaction was made, the vehicle Evans

Inside the vehicle, police reported finding several tickets to the fake concert. The $225 that Olson had used to purchase the tickets were also found in the passenger seat in front of Evans, according to police. The driver of the vehicle was identified as Curtis Robinson. The police report indicated that Robinson was operating the vehicle without a driver’s license. According to the police report, Evans was arrested in connection with theft and Robinson was arrested in connection with operating a vehicle without ever receiving a license.

In her email, Vitangeli urged that people who had purchased the tickets should go to the campus police department so that they could record their information. Vitangeli also said that in the future people should question anything similar to this that may look suspicious. “[Students should] just question whether or not that’s reality and then try to verify the information before they order tickets,” she said. “So [students should] just go with their gut and use their senses for things like that. And then if they are suspicious [they should] let campus police know.”

Susan G. Komen race for redemption By Stephanie Snay EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Susan G. Komen for the Cure is the world’s largest grassroots network for breast cancer survivors and activists. According to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure website, members and volunteers are “working together to save lives, empower people, ensure quality care for all and energize science to find the cures.” However, on Feb. 1, the organization chose to pull funding from another organization dedicated to women’s health, Planned Parenthood. According to Planned Parenthood’s website,“For more than 90 years, Planned Parenthood has promoted a commonsense approach to women’s health and well-being, based on respect for each individual’s right to make informed, independent decisions about health, sex and family planning.” When Komen chose to pull grants from Planned Parenthood, they chose to take away about $600,000 a year that provided breast cancer screenings and other preventative services to women who otherwise could not afford them. They went against their very mission and chose to value politics above women’s health. Of course, Komen was not thinking about those who help support them. A large portion of Komen’s supporters are women, and according to Planned Parenthood, one out of five women chooses Planned Parenthood as a health service provider at some point. Komen’s choice created an outrage—such a large outrage that the organization reversed the decision two days later. Komen’s reason for the initial defunding of Planned Parenthood was a newly

adopted foundation rule that prohibits the foundation from funding any group under a formal investigation by a government body. Planned Parenthood is currently being investigated by Rep. Cliff Stearns, a Florida Republican who says he is trying to learn whether the group spent public money on abortion services. However, according to an article posted on The Atlantic website, three sources with direct knowledge of the Komen decision-making process said the rule was adopted to create an excuse to cut off Planned Parenthood. The new rule

The spirit of sports

Why does a game matter so much to people? By Kellie Donnelly OPINION EDITOR

It’s just a game. Any athlete, coach or sports fan in general has heard this countless times. Why are you so upset? It’s not like somebody died. But as the game clock winds down and your team is sure to lose, that lead weight hits you in the stomach with enough force to knock you off your feet. And that’s when you tell yourself; no, it’s not just a game. Sports attitudes like this often receive the typical eye rolling and other exasperated responses from people who could not care less who wins a game. It is seen as a waste of time. But even columnist Bill Simmons, the greatest sports writer of our time, and the one who so perfectly puts into words what sports fans feel, can’t describe it. After the Patriots (for whom Simmons is a die-hard fan) lost in Super Bowl XLVI and he tried to put his reaction into words, he wrote the day after, “I have never been able to answer the question, ‘Why does this matter to me so much?’That’s just the way it’s always been. Ever since I can remember.” Every sports fan feels the same way. Because the spirit of sports doesn’t reside in the game itself. It doesn’t exist in the most basic purpose of almost every sport: score more points than the other team. In basketball, players toss a ball inside a circle as the opposing team tries to get in the way. In soccer, players wait for that one opportunity to kick a ball inside a frame. In football, players throw around an oddly shaped object, trying to catch it in a certain marked zone on the field. When put this simply, sports seem silly and inconsequential, merely an outlet for aggression and an obsessive, moneydriven part of our society. So why does it matter so much? Yet as Tom Brady’s Hail Mary pass was batted down by the underdog Giants and fell clear of Gronkowski’s outstretched fingers, millions of fans cheered. As IU’s Christian Watford hit that game-winning three against No. 1 Kentucky, and again as IU defeated then-No. 2 OSU on New Year’s Eve, thousands of Hoosiers celebrated the return of Indiana basketball, quickly popularizing the hashtag #themovement. And as the Division-II UIndy Greyhounds tore through four nationally ranked basketball teams in a matter of weeks, a small school of just over 5,000 students reveled in their success. This permeates every level of sports. While The Olympics are watched by

millions of people around the world, college sports are viewed by only thousands. However, sometimes the worst team in the smallest league can still incite inspiration in the few people watching. At that moment in time, it still represents a group of people overcoming an impossible obstacle. The spirit of sports is not in the game itself, but in the people surrounding the game. It’s the players, the coaches, the fans, the schools, the cities and the countries that stand behind that team. It’s the atmosphere that is created by these people who give so much of themselves for the benefit of others. Because when athletes lose a game, they can feel the emotions from the fans. There is an aesthetic feeling that surrounds the atmosphere of a sporting event; an intrinsic sense of pride, accomplishment and camaraderie that can’t be found anywhere else. So when your team loses a game at any level, it’s more than just a game. It’s a shared feeling between hundreds, thousands or even millions of people who otherwise would have nothing in common. “See, there’s no feeling quite like watching your team blowing a big game,” wrote Bill Simmons. “It’s devastating. It’s paralyzing. It’s the only feeling that a 6-year-old, a 42-year-old and a 64-yearold can share exactly.” In an arena that holds thousands of strangers, each person can be feeling the same emotion at that moment. The same goes for households across a country that are watching the same game. There’s no doubt that some areas in sports are overhyped. Just like everything else in a capitalist society, sports are another way for people to spend money: fan T-shirts, hats, signed jerseys, tickets to games—they all go toward the billiondollar sports industry that dominates a large part of our society. But from the beginning, before anybody ever thought to make money from sports, the same foundations existed. The spirit of sports began with a relationship between the people, and that will never go away. You cannot find another place where so many strangers experience the same shared emotions consistently. So although it may be just a game, to those of us who get it, sports will always be a part our core. And as March Madness approaches, we will celebrate the triumphs and defeats and share the despair of the losses together.

only affected Planned Parenthood, one of about 2,000 organizations to which Komen gives grants. The decision also could be linked to Komen’s recent hiring of a new vice president for public policy, Karen Handel, who is a former politician and very vocal about her anti-abortion and anti-Planned Parenthood stances. After many of the very people who support Komen spoke out against this decision and chose to stand by Planned Parenthood, Komen realized the magnitude of its mistake. Long-time supporters and donors (some corporate, and of

considerable size) were walking away from Komen, no longer able to support an organization that went against its own mission. On Feb. 3, Komen announced the reversal of its decision to take funds away from Planned Parenthood. The organization said the original decision had not been a political one (decide for yourself whether you want to believe that one). The statement from the board of directors and founder and CEO Nancy G. Brinker stated, “We do not want our mission marred or affected by politics—

anyone’s politics.” Only time will tell whether the reversal will put Komen back in favor with those who turned their backs on the charity. It is despicable that for political reasons a charity dedicated to women’s health would take away access to the health services they encourage, and I think Komen’s choice to reverse the decision was the right and ethical choice to make. I hope many more people and organizations can take note of this decision and stand together for a woman’s right to health, putting political motives aside.

Monkey Trial,” which led to evolution being allowed, not required, to be taught in schools, is not the right direction. Our children should be able to learn a wide variety of theories and scientific methods to give them a strong educational base. But this move would open schools to the teaching of religious ideals alongside scientifically established and supported theories, which would lead to lengthy lawsuits and a general waste of resources. Furthermore, the language of this bill demonstrates just how poorly our representatives grasp the concepts of “origin of life” and “evolution.” Contrary to Bill 89, evolution theory does not directly explain the origin of life, but it is an observed science that shows life’s progression. Teaching these alongside each other is misleading, as world religions should be taught in a religion or world culture course, not in a science course. If we are indeed committed to providing the youth of our communities the best education possible, why are we treating science and religion as one and the same? That is perhaps the largest issue with this proposed legislation: It allows school districts to teach religious ideals alongside established science, if they so choose. While learning about various religions in a culture course is a very strong ground for education, this sort of education belongs in private, religious-funded schools or in

places of worship. Religious education of this degree of specificity should be handled by the church, while essential science, mathematics and other basic education belong in public schools. Parents, priests, deacons, rabbis and those holding all other denominational titles should hold themselves responsible for teaching their children about their chosen faith.The key word in that sentence is “chosen.” Forcing religious ideals into the general curricula of public schools will do nothing to further those ideals, at least not in a positive light. The best outcome of this bill is its death in the committee system of the House, but what seems far more likely that this unconstitutional bill will draw the ire and lawsuits of the ACLU and other groups. By flying in the face of the Constitution, this bill demonstrates a very wide range of ignorance within our legislature. Have they not recently read the Constitution? If a school should take advantage of this bill, then it is destined to lose federal assistance, which will result in failed education for students and lost jobs for teachers. In a time when the education system has already experienced a great tumult as a result of previous legislative changes, why push this bill now? This legislation is a waste of everyone’s time and valuable tax dollars that could be better spent elsewhere.

Is Creationism a science?

The preferred style of our lawmakers seems to have become to waste precious time and resources on proposed legislation that is destined to go nowhere. Whether this future spent in limbo is a result of a veto, embroiled debate or extensive lawsuits, it is still an endeavor that achieves nothing productive for the constituency, aside from pandering to its whims. One such bill, known as Indiana Senate Bill 89, recently passed to the House of Representatives after its most recent edit, reads: “The governing body of a school corporation may offer instruction on various theories of the origin of life. The curriculum for the course must include theories from multiple religions, which may include, but is not limited to, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Scientology.” While it is fantastic that our legislators are showing concern for the education system outside of finances, there are many issues with this bill, the first being that it is a waste of time and taxpayer resources. Again, expressing concern over the education system is a good thing, but taking a step backwards and completely disregarding the now infamous “Scopes

Applied class assists volunteer project By Abby Gross DISTRIBUTION MANAGER

Graduate assistant Amanda Belcher and junior Josh Ford participate in Global Peace Initiatives project.

A University of Indianapolis Applied Sociology course recently teamed up with Global Peace Initiatives to participate in a service-learning project to create Peaceful Grounds Café and Farmer’s Market. Members of the applied course volunteer on the site of the project every Tuesday. The café and market will be located in Southport at the site of an abandoned concrete factory. UIndy students and volunteers are working to refurbish the building. The UIndy Applied Sociology students contribute to the project by performing manual labor, such as constructing the tables for the café. Junior sociology major Josh Ford explained that the project strives to reuse materials to keep the construction as sustainable as possible. “[Peaceful Grounds] is a long way from being up and running, but their big goal is to do everything sustainably,”Ford said. “So they are taking people’s waste and creating something new with it, and that’s the idea behind sustainability.” According to the organization’s website, Global Peace Initiative’s mission is

to “create transformational opportunities for individuals and communities through food growing and service initiatives that promote sustainability and peace.” The farmer’s market’s goal of sustainability will be accomplished through the location of the Peaceful Grounds Center for Agriculture and Sustainable Living. According to the Global Peace Initiative website, this center will seek to educate the community on issues such as gardening and food preservation. Peaceful Grounds will feature an on-site demonstration garden with “food grown in highly fertile soil created through intensive vermiculture production [worm farming],” according to the website. The hope is that residents of the community will use the garden as a model to aid in their own food production. “The idea is that when people have food to feed their family and themselves, they will become more peaceful because they won’t have that pressure, because when people don’t have food to feed their family, they become desperate,”Ford said. Founder and Executive Director of Global Peace Initiatives Linda Proffitt says that sustainable living is directly related to being more peaceful. “The more we can learn to be self-

New printing quota system in works By A.J. Rose EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

The University of Indianapolis has begun plans to establish a new printing quota system. According to representatives of Client Services at the Krannert Memorial Library, during recent semesters, students have voiced frustrations with how long it takes to retrieve what they printed. After receiving many complaints, Indianapolis Student Government and Client Services have combined to come up with a resolution to the problem. Director of Client Services Michelle Duman said that although the plan is only in the works at the moment, she feels that the new quota is something her department has to do. “The reason that we’re seriously looking at this for implementation,is due to the fact that we’ve had the print management system in place for about 18 months now.

And while it initially made some dent in the waste that we were seeing in those lab’s bases, that has not persisted,”Duman said. “That’s really why we’re looking at implementing a quota using that print management system, so that there are some real consequences to abusing the privilege of printing.” Duman believes that although the system would be a new process, it would be a reasonable one as well. “So what would happen is that every student would be given a set number of sheets of paper per year. We haven’t finalized a number yet,” Duman said. “Then what would happen is that when you go to the print release station, you swipe the card, and it will deduct an amount of money equivalent to one sheet of paper. Once you exhaust that funding, then what will happen is we will roll over to crimson cash.” Duman said that the idea would be an annual allotment, and that each year it would reset. Duman also said that this

Construction continues for new residence hall

Newest dorm is set to open this August By Michele Bates FEATURE EDITOR With 2012-2013 housing sign-ups rapidly approaching, Wilhelm Construction and Blackburn Architects continue progress on the University of Indianapolis’ newest residence hall, Roberts Hall. According to Associate Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students Kory Vitangeli, Roberts Hall is still scheduled to open in August. “Roberts is coming along, and it’s on schedule,” Vitangeli said. “We have been really fortunate with the nice weather.” Roberts Hall will be the first residence hall on campus to feature both single and double rooms. Vitangeli said the Office of Residence Life decided to have double rooms because that allows more occupancy. Roberts Hall will have 170 spaces available for upperclassmen. “We know that double rooms continue to remain popular, and we didn’t feel like we could fill another dorm of all single rooms,”she said. “There’s also an upgraded cost with the single rooms, so we felt having the combination of doubles and singles allows the affordability to live on campus and also increases the number of spaces.” UIndy’s newest residence hall will be priced at $3,080 for a single room and $2,475 for a double room. Roberts Hall also will include several amenities. It will feature a workout facility in the building, two-story atriums and multiple lounges. Vitangeli said the Office of Residence Life reached out to a number of students, with events like Dinner with the Dean, to gain insight from students to see what features they wanted in the residence hall. “The middle of the building is going to have large lobbies and community spaces just like East [Hall] does,” Vitangeli said. “One of the things we knew was [that] students really like Central, but they re-

ally miss that middle community space.” Alex Taylor, a sophomore resident assistant and international relations major, said he is excited about Roberts Hall opening in the fall. “It will definitely enhance the university,” Taylor said. “Most of the RAs hope to be placed in that building [Roberts Hall] because it’s so new.” To prepare students for online housing sign-ups, the Office of Residence Life hosted information sessions at each dorm last week. They also had tables set up outside the dining hall for students to get more information. “We tried to do a better job this year on getting the [housing] information out,” Vitangeli said. “We’ve done mailbox stuffing, we’ve done flyers on door and we have big posters [around campus].” Because there will be a new residence hall in August, residence life also will undergo some changes. During the 2012-2013 school year, upperclassmen no longer will be allowed to live in Warren, Cory Bretz or Cravens Halls. These residence halls will be reserved for freshmen. Vitangeli said there has been a demand over the years for upperclassmen to be in facilities different from traditional residence halls. “We knew we had to build additional housing on campus,”Vitangeli said. “Once we were going to add Roberts [Hall], that allowed us the opportunity to have some intentional communities just for first year students.” Sophomores and juniors can begin signing up for Roberts, East, New and Central Halls on Feb. 27 or Feb. 28. Current freshmen will be allowed to sign up on Feb. 29. Sign-up for Campus Apartments will be available on March 4 for a four-person group, March 6 for a three-person group and March 7 for a two-person group. Students will be allowed to sign up any time from 7 a.m. to midnight on these dates.

new system would be very similar to ones other schools use as well, and she believes that it would be the best option for the university heading forward. Technical Support Manager Patrinah Bennett agrees the system would be the best option for the university. She said the first priority is finding how the students and faculty feel before making a decision. “That’s kind of the purpose of the proposal, and hopefully having ISG and working alongside them and then also getting feedback from the students on campus, and what their thoughts and ideas are and what’s going to work best for them,” Bennett said. “Then also working with the faculty because again, I’m sure that if faculty are asking their students to print out certain things for their classes, and how is that going to be affected if there is a quota put into place.” Duman agrees that students and faculty are the first priority and that is why they are working hard to help and assist them in the decision-making process.

“We’re just trying to make it an environment where it is fair to everybody. And we feel like right now the fact that anybody can print anything as much as they want, that there are some people who take advantage of that, and it’s to the detriment of their fellow students,” Duman said. “I think that is really one of the things that we would like to do– make people more conscious, and make a more fair environment for everybody.” Duman said that the new quota system is still currently a plan in development, and that nothing yet had been established. Duman says hopefully the news will be made official sometime before the end of this semester. “We’re hoping to have all of that wrapped up before the end of the semester, so that we can get that information out to folks before everybody leaves, so that in the fall it won’t be some surprise,” Duman said. “We want to make sure that people come back knowing what to expect.”

sufficient, the more likely we are to have a life of peace,” Proffitt said. According to Proffitt, the completed café and farmer’s market will be a “destination point” and source of economic development for the surrounding community. Between the café, farmer’s market, training center, working farm and demonstration farm, Peaceful Grounds is expected to employ more than 100 people. “[Peaceful Grounds] is a major economic development tool for Southport, Perry Township and Central Indiana,” Proffitt said. In addition to students from educational institutions, the Peaceful Grounds project has attracted many more. According to Proffitt the project has seen 750 volunteers in the last two-and-a-half months. Ford said that while he enjoys serving others, he sees the value of service in the learning opportunities it provides. “I think that a lot of times when people go into service, they go into it with the attitude of ‘Oh we’re doing this for people who are really needy and not as fortunate as us,’” Ford said. “But I think that a new, and possibly better, way to look at doing service is that we can learn so much from participating and working with people in the community.”

PRICES from page 1 “I think there’s always going to be a demand for college. So I don’t necessarily think that you’re going to see students that aren’t going to be able to get into college,” Wilks said. “[It’s] just a matter of where they’re going to be able to go. You might see [that] some of the more selective schools may not be an option for some students. But again when I look around at other colleges I think there’s an effort there—at least in colleges that are trying to be more conscientious of price and how to make it affordable for students.” Handy believes that small increases have kept UIndy competitive with private universities and brought socioeconomic diversity. “That [small increase] gives us the advantage of being able to draw students from a number of different socioeconomic categories,” Handy said. “And we have people who are on welfare—all the way to people who have enough money that they can pay the full charge, so that gives us the flexibility to be able to serve populations across that whole income stream.”

Greyhounds win two most recent games to break losing streak By A.J. Rose EDITORIAL ASSISTANT The No. 25 University of Indianapolis men’s basketball team (18-7, 11-6 GLVC) defeated the University of WisconsinParkside (8-17, 1-16) 84-57 on Feb. 18. The Greyhounds shot 53 percent including 10 out of 22 3-pointers. Senior guard Adrian Moss tallied the first triple-double in school history with 18 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds. Senior forward/center Wilbur O’Neal led all players with 20 points and seven rebounds. The Greyhounds led 12-5 less than five minutes into the game when Moss found O’Neal and sophomore guard Leland Brown for back-to-back layups. The Rangers fought back and successfully tied the score at 21 before UIndy was ignited by a 15-4 run. The Rangers trailed the Greyhounds by 11 at the half, but scored on six of the team’s first seven possessions. However, UIndy managed to stop the Rangers as sophomore guard Reece Cheatham scored a 3-pointer to start a seven-point run. With 12:30 left to play, the Greyhounds led 52-37. The Rangers never got closer than 11 for the remainder of the game. The Greyhounds defeated Lewis University 73-64 with a second half come-back on Feb. 16. The game fell on Senior Night and featured a white-out theme in the stands. The win snapped a three-game losing streak between the Greyhounds and the Flyers. Moss led the Greyhounds in points with 18 for the night. He also amassed five rebounds and two steals. O’Neal contributed to the win with 11 points and a career-high three blocks. Brown came off the bench and tied his career-high of seven rebounds and added 15 career-high points. Cheatham rounded out the double figure scorers with 11 points of his own. Both teams struggled offensively as the defensive ends controlled the first half. The Flyers led 28-21 at the break. Lewis built the lead to 32-24 less than three minutes into the second half. Brown ended the UIndy drought with a 3-pointer and the team went on a 13-5 run. With 3:30 left to go in the game, the Greyhounds took the lead 58-53 after

Brown stole an outlet pass for an easy layup. The Flyers could not recover and UIndy won the game. For the previous two weeks, UIndy had a difficult schedule, playing all four of its games against top 25-ranked opponents. Out of those four games, two were played on the road against No. 1 Bellarmine University (22-1, 14-1 GLVC) and No. 16 Northern Kentucky (19-4, 11-4 GLVC). The two games prior to those were played against No. 8 University of Southern Indiana (19-4, 11-4 GLVC) and No. 7 Kentucky Wesleyan College (19-4, 11-4 GLVC). UIndy hoped for a second upset win over the Bellarmine Knights on Feb. 11, which would give UIndy its third win over a No. 1 ranked team this season. Yet, the Knights had other plans in mind for the Greyhounds and gave them their second straight loss, losing by a final score of 93-79. Although all of UIndy’s five starters were able to post double digits in points, the Knights proved too much, shooting 56.6 percent, while the Greyhounds only shot 46 percent with four of the starters fouling out before the end of the game. The team had little time to prepare for the rematch, having had played Northern Kentucky two days prior. Sophomore guard Miles Mitchell said that although Bellarmine was an important game, especially since it was a return to his hometown area, the team always has taken each game on the schedule one at a time. “Really, it’s just one game at a time,” he said. “We can’t look ahead, and definitely can’t take them [Northern Kentucky] for granted, because they came in here [Nicoson Hall] and pushed us around.” The Greyhounds went on to lose to Northern Kentucky on Feb. 9 for the second time this season by a final score of 77-61. After only trailing by three at the half, UIndy came out and shot 26.5 percent and made only one out of ten 3-pointers. Prior to playing on the road, the Greyhounds experienced a split on their home court. No. 8 Southern Indiana visited UIndy on Feb. 4. The Greyhounds had previously beaten the Screaming Eagles on their home court and went on to defeat USI 65-59 in Nicoson Hall. For only the second time in the program’s history, the Greyhounds were able to finish 2-0 against the Screaming Eagles.

UIndy lost its first home game of the week on Feb. 2 against Kentucky Wesleyan by a final score of 84-67, shooting only 39 percent and 23.8 percent from behind the three-point line. Head Coach Stan Gouard said that he was impressed with the win over Southern Indiana but also believed they had a chance to win both games at home. “At this point, any win is a good win. Of course beating a quality opponent like Southern Indiana is always great. I thought we had a chance to win against [Kentucky] Wesleyan, but we put ourselves in a bind by getting so far behind. But [we] came back and cut the game to three, and we didn’t finish the basketball game,” Gouard said. “It’s a good split for us. I’m happy with where we are as a team. We were able to go out there a couple of weeks ago and get a win at Southern Indiana and Kentucky Wesleyan, and came back here and split.” Mitchell believed that getting a big win such as this was not only important to the players, but to Gouard as well. “Beating Southern Indiana was a big deal for us. I know it means a lot to Coach G. [Gouard] because he played down there. So I know it was a big deal for him,” Mitchell said. “I think it was the second time in school history, so that was also a big deal.” O’Neal also explained how big of a win this was for the team. He said that being able to do everything the right way is what led to the victory over the USI “It was a big win for us because they were ranked No. 8 in the country,” O’Neal said. “We had a mind set of just going out and playing hard, playing together as a team and not arguing with each other.” The Greyhounds will go on the road to face St. Joseph’s on Feb. 23.

Women’s tennis continues season with a win By Leeann Doerflein STAFF WRITER

The No. 9 ranked University of Indianapolis women’s tennis team defeated No. 25 Marion University 8-1 on Feb. 18. Seniors Maggie Ashby and Alena Perez-Majul won 8-2 to sweep the number one spot in doubles. Sophomore Kasey Land and freshman Brooke Boyts took the number two spot and won with a score of 8-4. Perez-Majul and Ashby also swept the singles matches as UIndy won six straight matches but had to win a trio of tiebreakers and a pair of 6-4 sets before coming away victorious. Perez-Majul took the number one spot and Ashby took the number two spot. Following them were freshman Kelsey Matthews, senior Meghan Teunis and junior Rachel Barger at third, fourth and fifth respectively. The start of the season saw a split of a win and a loss for the Greyhounds. On Feb. 11 the team took on Butler University at the UIndy Tennis Center, losing 0-9.

Teunis achieved third in singles. Matthews followed with the fourth position. The Greyhounds emerged victorious at their first match of the season against Georgetown College, winning 8-1 at home on Feb. 4. U I n d y doubles dominated the match, with the duo of A s h by a n d Perez-Majul at No. 1, sophPEREZ-MAJUL omore Claire Liles and Boyts at No. 2 and Barger and Land at No. 3. Greyhound singles won five of six matches, with Teunis at No. 4 and sophomore Taylor Eckert at No. 6. The games played thus far in the season were not Great Lakes Valley Conference games and will not affect conference rankings. They were more of a learning experience, according to Head Coach John Venter. “Playing Georgetown was a match to

help get our feet underneath us and see how good we can be,”Venter said.“Playing Butler was a chance to play a good team, a non-division opponent. That will help us improve our game, [and] it’s a similar situation against Marian.” According to Perez-Majul, the team feels well prepared and satisfied with the match. “It was great to start the season off with a win and to get our confidence up,” she said. The first matches have not been conference matches and thus have not affected their GLVC standings. However after the Feb. 24 match against Marian University, the games will have implications for the GLVC. “In the fourth week of our season, the ante will be upped, so to speak.” Venter said. “We are trying to prepare ourselves to play our best tennis at that point in the season.” This year’s team is a very “deep” team, according to Venter, meaning that even the women on the bench are very talented. He said that having such a high level of talent can allow for lots of flexibility in whom he plays in the matches and can allow flexibility for illness or injury. Due to the level of talent, Venter is

playing nine women in each match, instead of the usual six or seven. “To play nine [women] is unusual, but we just have that much talent,”Venter said. “I expect us to really make a run at some championships and get to the NCAA tournament and be one of the best teams we’ve had in several years.” The competition the Greyhounds face during the season can VENTER be stiff. According to Ashby, it is not uncommon for many of the women on opposing teams to be from foreign lands or more successful team franchises. “In our division, we have a lot of Top 25-ranked teams, and it can be intimidating sometimes. There are all these girls in DII from foreign countries—Brazil, Europe, Africa,” Ashby said. Ashby and Perez-Majul mentioned that Venter is famous for his belief in self-confidence and that confidence is one

thing the team needs to work on to be successful this season. “The talent is there. You name it, we can hit every shot. But if you put in a high level of confidence with all that talent, we will be an extremely tough team to beat,” Venter said. “We have to believe that we can win every match and that no team on our schedule is out of our league.” Perez-Majul agrees with her coach when it comes to the team’s confidence. “We can’t go into a match already scared. We have to tell ourselves [that] we are just as good as they are,” she said. “Basically, we have to believe in our own game and not worry so much about our opponents.” While the women have the support of family, friends and the UIndy men’s tennis team, they would like more students to come and cheer for them. “It’s nice to have athletes supporting athletes. And we know tennis isn’t the easiest sport to follow,” Ashby said. “But we do enjoy our fans, and it gives us something to look forward to.” The next match will be against Grand Valley State University at the UIndy Tennis Center on Saturday, Feb. 24 at 4:00 p.m.

UIndy wins home match

Senior David Lopez reaches for Findlay wrestler Jeremy Espinoza’s ankle as he tries to make a move on the mat. The match was Lopez’s last wrestling match at home.

The University of Indianapolis wrestling team held its final home match on Feb. 11 against the University of Findlay. The Greyhounds suffered a loss to the Roughneck of 24-12. The Greyhounds also recognized senior wrestlers Matt Clark, Blake Harvey, Ethan Harris and David Lopez. Harris won in the 133 weight class for the Greyhounds. Freshman Justin Kieffer won in the 141 weight class, and freshman Austin Chamberlain won in the 157 weight class. “I thought as a team we did very well,” said freshman Dustin Parrish. “They’re a tough team. They’re one of the best teams in the nation, and they are a solid team throughout.” Parrish wrestled returning national champion Michael Lybarger. After twoand-a-half periods, and only giving up

two points, Parrish lost by a fall. “I gave up a pin in mid-third period, but it was a solid match throughout,” Parrish said. “He was supposed to beat me, and beat me soundly. He escaped twice on me and the match was only 2-0 before I got caught and pinned.” Lopez also lost a close battle with Findlay’s Jeremy Espinoza by a score of 6-4. “We would’ve liked to see Dave [Lopez] get a win. He wrestled well but just couldn’t pull it off,” said Assistant Coach Bob Brubeck. “But we are very proud of him.” Lopez, had his last home dual meet of his Greyhound career. He mentioned that it was especially nice having the support. “It was nice to know you went out being a part of something like being a UIndy Greyhound wrestler,” Lopez said “As an overall wrestler, being here has brought me to a whole new level. The coaches bring out the best in us.” The wrestling team also traveled to St. Louis on Feb. 8 to wrestle Maryville

College. UIndy defeated the Saints 2421, winning three matches by forfeit and adding wins by Kieffer at 141 pounds, freshman Aaron Stevenson at 184 pounds and sophomore Evan Wooding at 285 pounds. “Unfortunately there were a lot of forfeits on their end, but it was a good environment to wrestle in,” said Parrish, who received a forfeit against the Saints. Brubeck mentioned that the match was all about improvement. “Even though we won the dual, I feel like we could’ve wrestled better as a team,” Parrish said. “But I am happy with the way they [the wrestlers] performed on the mat.” Brubeck mentioned that the seniors really stepped up for the underclassmen this year. “I want to thank the seniors for doing a great job as leaders on the team, on and off the mat,” Brubeck said “Our next twoto-three years are going to be exciting.” The Greyhounds head back to the mat on Feb. 24 at St. Cloud, Minn.

Royer, Carter lead conference in shot put The University of Indianapolis track and field team competed at the Boilermaker Invitational on Feb. 18. Junior Matt Royer took third place in the men’s shot put with 16.07 meters. On Feb. 17, a small group traveled to the Eastern Illinois Invitational where freshman LaTisha Martin took second place in the women’s 200 meter dash. The Greyhounds earned more conference points as they sent one squad to Indiana University for the Hoosier Hills Invitational and another to Indiana Wesleyan on Feb. 11 The men’s team won the 4x400 meter relay at IU. Senior Jerel Flournoy, juniors Jermel Kindred and Robert Gardner and freshman Kyle Schwartz ran an NCAA

provisional time. “Our men’s four-by-four is doing really well,” said Head Coach Scott Fangman. “Our sprinters are making the move.” The women’s four-by-four also did its part. Senior Angelique McNeal, juniors Haley Miller and Jordan Vandyke and Martin also ran an NCAA provisional time at the Hoosier Hills Invitational. Greyhound sprinters won individual events as well. In the 400-meter, Gardner took first, Flournoy third and Kindred finished only a small fraction of a second behind Flournoy. For the women’s individual sprints, Martin holds the top conference time in the 400-meter, while teammate Miller holds the third best time. Freshman Camille Edwards won the 60-meter hurdles at Indiana Wesleyan, making her first in the conference in the women’s hurdles. Fangman said she

Greyhounds overcome obstacles in final games By Kellie Donnelly OPINION EDITOR

The University of Indianapolis women’s basketball team (17-8, 11-6 GLVC) lost to No. 16 University of Wisconsin-Parkside (21-4, 14-3) on Feb. 18. “It doesn’t get any bigger than Parkside. They are at the top of the conference,” said Head Coach Constantin Popa.“They have a lot of experience.” The Rangers started the game with a 10-0 run. UIndy fought back to tie the score at 22. However, with 19 minutes left in the game, the Greyhounds fell behind 37-26. The team bounced back twice within one but never got over the hump. The Greyhounds defeated Lewis University (6-18, 4-12) 81-73 in the final regular season home game on Feb. 16.The special event honored senior guard Megan Gardner and injured senior guard Cayla Keegan. Junior guard Kristin Turner led all players with 25 points, six assists and six rebounds. Freshman Kelly Walter scored a career-high 21 points in the win. “[Turner] is a very good offensive player and very skilled,” Popa said. “She hits big shots, but she’s not the whole team. We’ve got major players that can step up.” Turner currently leads the Great Lakes Valley Conference in scoring, ranking third in assists per game and third in 3-pointers made. The first half saw several lead changes as the Greyhounds worked to find their rhythm. After the Flyers led by three, UIndy went on a 17-3 run to gain control of the game. Lewis answered with a run of their own bringing the score to 37 even at the half. The second half, however, was a different story as the Greyhounds jumped to a 17-point lead. Despite Lewis’ efforts to come back, the Greyhounds held on to their lead by hitting six free throws in the final minutes to keep the game out of reach. The game saw the return of junior forward Sydney Weinert, who missed previous games due to an injury. “[Weinert] has played a major role for our team this year,” Popa said. “I’m just

happy she’s back. [The Lewis] game was a good start for her. We had some other people stepping up for her.” Gardner also noted the brief loss of Weinert, describing how the team’s inside play was hurt. She also credited sophomore centers Eliza Wortman and Chas Lecher for stepping up in Weinert’s place. The win was especially important after the team came off the only two-game losing streak of the season the previous weekend. “We had a little setback the previous weekend,” Popa said. “We just had to pretty much focus on the next game and not worry about what happened in the past.” On Feb. 11, the Greyhounds lost to Bellarmine University (13-11, 7-9) 86-67 in their biggest loss of the season. Sophomore Katy McIntosh led UIndy with 18 points, while Turner and Wortman contributed 12 each. Just two days before, the team lost to archrival Northern Kentucky University (19-5, 12-4) 71-68 in a key divisional matchup. The two losses dropped UIndy from tied-for-first to third place behind NKU and divisional leader University of Wisconsin-Parkside. Turner led all players with 36 points, but it wasn’t enough to hold off the Norse. “Losing two [games] that weekend was tough,”Gardner said.“Unfortunately, it did not work out. We are now third in our division, which is really not where we want to be.” The Greyhounds finish their regular season against St. Joseph College (13-11, 7-9) on Feb. 23. According to Popa, at this point, the team likely will host the first round of the GLVC tournament at Nicoson Hall. Gardner noted the importance of these final weeks. “The next two weeks are big for us,” she said. “We have been having good practices, so we all plan on winning out the rest of the season [and] then winning conference, which will put us in a good spot for the NCAA tourney.” The GLVC tournament begins Feb. 26, followed by the semifinals and finals in Springfield, Ill. March 1-4.

is doing really well and is a new to watch face for this season. Fangman hopes to see his hurdlers and jumpers hit their stride in the upcoming meets. “We haven’t peaked yet, but we are coming along,” Fangman said. Royer continued to lead the Greyhounds on Feb. 4 at the University of Findlay, breaking his own record of 20.98 meters with a 21.53 meter toss. The mark made Royer the Great Lakes Valley Conference Athlete of the Week for the third time this season. His also was third best in all of NCAA Division II. Martin, too, was named GLVC Athlete of the Week for her performance at Taylor

on that same day. “We’ve been a throwing school since well before I got here,” Fangman said. “The University of Indianapolis has had a national caliber thrower nearly every year for 40 years.” Fangman attributes R oye r ’s success to his coachable attitude. He said that Royer is willing to take advice from his throwing coach and to work hard. “I hope that they [his teammates] see me succeeding, and it drives them, gives them the encouragement to really smash it through,” Royer said. The UIndy weight-throwing program leads the conference in both weight and

>>Inspired by true events, “The Vow” chronicles the lives of Leo and Paige Collins (Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams) after a car accident leaves Paige unable to remember the past few years of her life. The last she remembers, she was living at home,going to law school,engaged to another man and getting along with her family. In the years she can’t remember, she had moved to the city, become an artist, married Leo and no longer spoke with her family. Her family, who sees her lack of memory as an excuse to bring her home again, fight with Leo over what’s best for her. Paige’s family tries to adjust her to her pre-marriage routine and encourages her to sever ties with Leo, who is a stranger to her. With a Nicholas Sparks-like drama, starring two Nicholas Sparks actors (Tatum in “Dear John” and McAdams in “The Notebook”), this movie is an emotional roller coaster with a bittersweet ending that leaves viewers wanting more.

>>If there is one thing that some artists do that doesn’t work, it’s making an album that is completely out of their element. However, Paul McCartney does this successfully on his 16th solo album “Kisses on the Bottom.” Different from his usual sound, on this album, McCartney turns to jazz and pop. The album mixes a softer side of McCartney that we haven’t heard in a long time with a unique jazz style that results in the listener getting lost in the unique sound. “I’m Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter,” one of the most popular tracks on the album, is a rendition of a Fats Waller track that kicks off the album very well. There are certain tracks that resemble John Coltrane’s or Billie Holiday’s great works, and there are some that seem a bit tedious, but the lyrics are what stick with you. Featuring guests such as Eric Clapton and Stevie Wonder, this album provides a unique sound from an already legendary singer.

I chose the “Pamela Anderson,”which came with mushrooms, bell peppers, jalapeños, tomatoes, avocado and warm, melted mozzarella cheese.Tortas offers a variety of meats, cheeses and toppings.The restaurant also has breakfast sandwiches, tacos, quesadillas and fries. Mexican sodas are available to quench your thirst, adding more authenticity to your meal.The prices are great for a college student on a budget (most sandwiches are $5.50), and the restaurant just expanded, so there is plenty of space to enjoy a meal with your friends.

>>A new season has begun with new challenges, new faces and new walkers. Wait, walkers? Yes. A new season of “The Walking Dead,” which depicts a world invaded by zombies, has started.This is the third season of the show, and the first two were extremely well-received. For those of us who watched the ending of the last season, the new one picks up exactly where the old one ended. The search for Sophia (Madison Lintz) ended when the team discovered that Hershel (Scott Wilson) was keeping walkers in the barn. Now with the only potential danger gone, the group is left to deal with the tension Shane ( Jon Bernthal) has created. With Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies) expecting a baby, the group has to decide what comes next. Survival is key,and with new strangers threatening the safety of the farm, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) tries to mend the already unstable relationship he had with Hershel. “The Walking Dead” airs on Sundays at 9 p.m. on AMC.

>>“Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning” is a new series that throws its name into a ring of an established genre of western fantasy role-playing games. The game has rich lore delivered by best-selling author R.A. Salvatore, but some of the plot and quests are fairly predictable.Still,“Reckoning” sets itself apart from the competition with its superb gameplay. The combat is action-oriented and just as addictive as an action-adventure game such as “God of War.” With the ability to customize characters, talents and skills on the fly, “Reckoning” offers a wide range of possibilities to fit your playing style. Characters and dialogue seem genuine and unique, even if graphically they sometimes look bland. “Reckoning”is a world with customization for very enjoyable gameplay. If you can get past the cartoonish looking world and its characters, “Reckoning” offers an exciting imaginary world for you to plunder through and forge your own destiny.

UIndy rebuilds partnership with local arts center By Abby Ropes STAFF WRITER The Wheeler Arts Center has had a partnership with the University of Indianapolis since 2001 to help connect students with the surrounding community. One of the ways in which Wheeler is connecting with the community is by participating in an event called First Friday. This is an art event in which many artists display their work around Indianapolis. UIndy Outreach Art Coordinator Matt Williams has worked to get the Wheeler Arts Center more involved with students even though it is three miles north of campus. “Our goal [at the Wheeler Arts Center] is to create art programming for the community to be a part of, because we are trying to build the foundation of our community,” he said. “We are trying to do that using UIndy students, teachers and southeast neighborhood community members.” Another advocate of the Wheeler Arts Center is Chair of the Art & Design

Department James Viewegh, who has watched the partnership decline over several years. “The Wheeler building is a partnership that was established about 12 years ago with Southeast Neighborhood Development Inc. and the University of Indianapolis,” Viewegh said. “For a few years we had studio space there that students could work with. But over time, students didn’t like the fact that they had to travel so far from campus to utilize those studios. This caused the partnership with the Department of Art & Design and the Wheeler building to dissolve.” Viewegh sees a lot of positive aspects about the Wheeler Arts Center and encourages students to use the building to its full potential. “I think we would like to have more to do with Wheeler Arts Center in the future,” Viewegh said. “The Wheeler building has a lot of potential, and it’s a really interesting space.” Other centers like this are located around Indianapolis, including the Harrison Center for Arts, the G.C. Murphy Building and the Indianapolis Arts Center in Broad Ripple. All of these centers

participate in the First Friday event, and artists display their work in exhibits at each location. “It’s a giant range [of art] at First Friday,” said Administrative Assistant of Art & Design Katherine Fries. “There are self-taught artists and professionally trained artists. Anything from oil painting, ceramics, sculpture to instillation art and digital media can be seen.” Fries not only has observed the art on the first Friday of every month, but she also participates on a regular basis by submitting her own artwork. She said the event is a great way to take in a variety of art. “First Friday is a great event to attend because instead of just seeing one artist or a couple of artists, you can see a whole variety of artists,” Fries said. “That gives a person a chance to really see different things that are going on in the IndianapoPhoto by Garrison King lis arts community.” The Wheeler Arts Center, located in Fountain Square, shares a partnership with the UIndy Art Department.

Collaboration leads to success

Music department performs ‘A Little Night Music’ By Bob Helfst ONLINE EDITOR

For two days only, members of the University of Indianapolis campus community had the opportunity to enjoy the music department’s production of Stephen Sondheim’s “A Little Night Music.” The two performances on, Feb. 10 and 11, were the culmination of students’ work in the Opera Workshop class. The group had been working on the production since last fall. Mark Gilgallon, adjunct professor in the music department, served as director of the Opera Workshop and stage director for the production. He pointed out the unique challenges presented by the long-term collaborative project. “[The students] have seen a monumental task come to completion,” Gilgallon said. “They have had to learn to play well with others. Preparing a musical demands teamwork from all those involved.” The production was accompanied by student musicians led by James Caraher, artistic director of the Indianapolis Opera.

“Working with James Caraher was a huge privilege,” said junior music education major Katie Dunlap. “He was very knowledgeable of the pieces and knew what he wanted them to sound like.” Dunlap played the role of Anne in the production, a young wife who finds that her marriage to an older man may be under fire because of his former af-

When it was finally time to put on the show, I felt as if I completely understood my character and was comfortable with my music.” Gilgallon said that producing the performance presented difficulties. “Opera in itself is larger than life,” he said.“Opera singers must learn to use their entire body to propel the voice hundreds of feet, often over a 40- to 60-piece orchestra without microphones.” Gilgallon also pointed out that the Viennese recital hall design of Ruth Lilly Performance Hall presented additional challenges.The limited lighting options and lack of wing space made for a creative stage design. “I wanted to use the entire hall, not just the stage, and played around with many different ideas,” Gilgallon said. According to Dunlap, the rehearsals were stressful, but worth it. “I know we all felt a little stressed when we got back to school,” she said. “But everyone pitched in and sacrificed a lot of time in order for the show to reach its full potential.”

“Opera itself is larger than life. Opera singers must learn to use their entire body to propel the voice hundreds of feet, often over a 40- to 60-piece orchestra without microphones. ” fairs. Initially, Dunlap found it trying to perform a complicated vocal piece and a character role simultaneously. “This is some of the hardest music that I have personally had to work on, and I am glad we started working on it so early,” she said. “Amy Eggleston [UIndy music coach and accompanist] did a wonderful job talking with each of us individually about our characters, the meanings of our songs, as well as learning our music.

Students take steps towards marriage Couples share challenges of living long-distance Students discuss challenges of wedding planning while studying By Garrison King EDITORIAL ASSISTANT College students who are engaged share a college experience different from those who are not simultaneously planning a wedding and studying. University of Indianapolis graduate student Heath Shanahan and sophomore Kailey Willhelm are engaged to be married to their fiancés. Though planning a wedding takes a lot of work, both couples are excited to take the next step towards marriage. Shanahan planned a unique proposal for his girlfriend Ashley Reed. He took her out on a date and presented her with one rose. Shanahan said it symbolized what he and Reed had been through together as a couple. Afterwards, he took her to their favorite restaurant and presented her with a second rose. The second rose symbolized their present lives they shared together. He then claimed to have forgotten something in his car, and while Reed thought he had gone after a third rose, he surprised her and returned with the ring instead. Willhelm said that she and her fiancé had been dating for two-and-a-half

years when they became engaged last May. Willhelm said that she does not feel like anything has changed. “We are just like any other couple in college,” Willhelm said. “We just happen to be planning a wedding at the same time. My friends are very supportive of us. I could not be happier.” Shanahan, who is in his second year as a master’s of business administration student, dated his fiancée throughout their undergraduate years and became engaged.

not attend the same school. Willhelm’s fiancé is in his senior year at Purdue. Shanahan’s fiancée attended IUPUI. Being a student requires attention to details while juggling multiple tasks at once. Being engaged means also being tasked with planning a wedding, something that each student says is manageable. “If anything being engaged has helped my schoolwork,” Willhelm said. “My fiancé and I have an agreement that I have to get all of my schoolwork done before working on wedding plans.” Shanahan said the planning process has not been as much of a burden on him as his fiancée “I kind of go with the flow. I know for her it is a little bit more stressful,” Shanahan said. “I know my day is going to come and I know it is going to be great.” Both students are enjoying their engagements and offer some advice to other couples in the student body. “I would tell them to pray, follow their hearts and don’t let others influence their decisions,” Willhelm said. Shanahan also provided tips for fellow students. “If you’re dating, allow yourself time. Don’t rush into the engagement,” Shanahan said. “...Enjoy all of the planning stages and your time together.”

“We are just like any other couple in college. We just happen to be planning a wedding at the same time...I could not be happier.” “We were together for about seven years before we got engaged,” he said. “We worked together and eventually started dating my freshman year of undergrad.” As a graduate student, Shanahan has an experience different than Willhelm’s. “I probably don’t hang out with students as much because all of my classes are night classes,” he said. “But I still have time to play on the Ultimate Club or be at social events.” Both students have had the experience of dating someone who does

Campus community offers healthy dating tips By Ariana Gainer ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR College relationships can present struggles and hardships, but according to several University of Indianapolis students, these relationships are also beneficial. Sophomore history major Samantha Brown said that the struggles attached to college dating does not apply to her. “[Having a boyfriend in college is] beneficial. I’m not out there looking for someone,” Brown said. “I’m happy with him and he makes sure I do my homework when I see him.” Brown met her boyfriend of two years, Army National Guardsman Joshua Dillard, in Circle Centre Mall. She saw him with other members of the National Guard and stopped by to thank him for his service to the country. The two began a conversation and have been dating since March 20, 2010. Sophomore exploratory major Theresa Schott has been with her boyfriend since her senior year in high school. Although it was difficult for her entering into college already in a relationship, she is thankful that she had her boyfriend to help her through the transition. “Becoming a freshman in college was nerve-wracking, but having him [my boyfriend] by my side really encouraged

me to come out of my shell and meet new people,” she said. Counseling Center Director Kelly Miller offered her advice for maintaining healthy dating relationships in college. “In a healthy relationship, there is a movement from ‘me to we’ in terms of how you prioritize your relationship,” she said. “You maintain h e a l t h y independence yet focus on your shared goals, values MILLER and interests that promote a sense of closeness and deepening connectedness and intimacy.” Brown said that going to college did not affect her relationship negatively, and that she and Dillard went on as if nothing had changed. “Me going to college didn’t really affect our relationship,” she said. “We already were used to going around my school schedule to see each other, along with his work one.” Brown also said that there are challenges that stem from dating a National Guardsman. She is nervous about Dillard’s safety when he is away from her. “[I wish] that I [had] met him earlier,” she said. “Granted, that would

mean I would have already been through a deployment and wouldn’t be freaking out as bad about the upcoming one.” In addition to anxiety about her boyfriend’s safety, Brown said that if it weren’t for his involvement in the Army, the two of them would not have met. “You could say that’s what brought us together,” she said. “When I thanked him for his service, he wouldn’t give up on making me his girlfriend. It has made us stronger, knowing that he’ll have to leave and fight, and I have to be his backbone back home.” Schott, too, has been able to bond with her boyfriend despite the fact that her boyfriend goes to IUPUI. “If you don’t make an effort to spend time with the person you’re with, the relationship will disintegrate for sure,” she said. Miller said that each party brings different ingredients to the relationship, and the key is to manage those ingredients well. “You both have to have a commitment to seeking out shared values that bring you together,” she said. Brown and Schott advise other college couples not to allow a relationship to become more important than academics. “Do your best to find someone that doesn’t make you act a certain way or be someone other than who you are,” Brown said. “College is supposed to be fun. Don’t let your significant other take that away from you.”

By Laura Fellows ART DIRECTOR It is no secret that relationships take a lot of work to be successful, even when couples see each other on a daily basis. However, it can take a lot of work to keep relationships alive when couples are separated by hundreds or thousands of miles. Hailey Shaffer, junior biology and chemistry major, and her boyfriend Steven B. Williams met on the University of Indianapolis campus their freshman year. They have been dating for more than a year. Williams has since transferred to Ball State University, but the distance from Indianapolis to Muncie is nothing for this couple. Shaffer is currently studying at Queen’s University Belfast in Belfast, Northern Ireland as a study abroad student, more than 3,000 miles away. “Steven was very apprehensive at first about me studying abroad,” Shaffer said. “We knew it would put new challenges in our relationship, and I knew I was asking a lot from him.” Shaffer said that once Williams realized that she was actually serious about studying abroad, he recognized that he was going to have to deal with her being gone. However, a long-distance relationship isn’t something new to the couple. They live an hour apart when they are home for the summer and UIndy is an hour away from Ball State. One challenge that the couple faces is finding time to communicate. Belfast is five hours ahead of Indianapolis time. “That [the time difference] makes it really hard to talk to Steven,” Shaffer said. “When it’s time for bed here, everyone back home is just finishing up at work or school. I do miss him a lot. I get sad knowing I can’t call him up on the

phone to talk, or ask him to come over so we can spend time together.” Freshman elementary education and psychology major Courtney Carpenter and her boyfriend Reid Fawcett are another couple who have a long-distance relationship. They have been dating for nine months. Fawcett is currently a senior at Huntington North High School, two hours north of Indianapolis. Like Shaffer and Williams, Carpenter and Fawcett will continue to have a long-distance relationship next year with Fawcett attending Indiana University. “Trust is a big thing when it comes to long-distance relationships,” Carpenter said. To help keep their relationship strong, Carpenter and Fawcett use technology to stay in touch. “By being able to text all day, call every now and then and Skype—[these] make things easier,” Carpenter said. Shaffer’s advice is for couples to make sure they make time for each other, even if it’s just a text or a Facebook message that says “I love you.” Despite the distance, Shaffer said that she and Williams have a very strong relationship. They look forward to being back together in June when Shaffer returns. “This experience has made our relationship stronger, because we know that even though things aren’t perfect, we can still be there for each other and still make time for one another,” Shaffer said. Carpenter said that she wants people in long-distance relationships to know that it’s still okay to be themselves, even without their significant other around every day. “Just because of the distance, don’t freak yourself out about everything,” Carpenter said. “Still live your life, but know that he’s the only one you want to be with.”
