A 3.5 percent tuition increase for the 2012-2013 school year at the University of Indianapolis was announced through a campus wide email sent on Feb. 1.

This academic school year also saw a 3.5 percent increase in tuition from the preceding year. This sets full-time undergraduate tuition at $23,590, an $800 increase from this year, and room and board with a 14-meal plan option at $8,570, a $300 increase.

The executive committee of the Board of Trustees made the decision to raise tuition.

“We work very hard to keep the price as low as we possibly can,” said University of Indianapolis President Beverley Pitts. “We don’t want to lose any students, because they can’t afford to be here financially.”

Vice President for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management Mark Weigand said that as tuition rises, the university’s efforts are to continue to offer more institutional aid to offset the cost of higher education for UIndy students. He also said that UIndy has done a good job at keeping its tuition increases consistently low. He said he looked at both a five-year and 10-year span of tuition increases for Indiana’s

The recent loss of a member of the Board of Trustees has left many shocked and surprised.

Jerry Throgmartin, secretary of the Board of Trustees, executive chairman, CEO and President of H.H. Gregg Appliances Inc., died Jan.22 while visiting his ranch in Colorado.

“He is a very kind and gentle man. I say ‘is’ because it is hard to believe he is gone. When you meet somebody who is in a powerful position like that, a chief executive officer of a major corporation, you expect a stereotypical and brisk personality, but he was the opposite,” said University of Indianapolis President Beverley Pitts.“Kind of soft spoken, very thoughtful, a good listener, friendly, easy to work with. You could tell how much he loved UIndy, and it was a great pleasure to work with him.”

Throgmartin graduated from the University of Indianapolis with his bachelor’s degree and received his master’s of business administration degree from Indiana University. He also received an honorary degree from UIndy in 2010 for his commitment to the community and the university.

“When I knew Jerry, he was a student athlete at the University of Indianapolis playing football. He was a humble and modest person, and he never changed,” said Board of Trustees member Mike Watkins. “He is the most humble and successful business person I know, and he has left his mark all over Indiana and even further, but he never put his own name on anything. It was always the company’s name [H.H. Gregg] that he would put on everything.”

While visiting his ranch in Colorado, Throgmartin fell ill and died of complications from meningitis.

He was 57 with a wife, Peggy Sue, a son, Gregg, and two daughters, Christy and Nicky.

private colleges, and that UIndy had one of the lowest increases overall.

The email sent to the campus community about the tuition increase included links to UIndy’s Financial Aid Office website and to the online FAFSA application. The email urged students to file the FAFSA by the March 10 deadline.

Pitts said that one of the things students always wonder about is what drives tuition increases.

She said that often times students think that what they see is what causes the increase. She used the Super Bowl activities as an example and explained that those were funded with money that the Super Bowl Committee paid to use the Athletics and Recreations Center.

Pitts said it costs around $200,000 more each year just to maintain licenses for the technology UIndy has.

The new dormitory also was discussed.

“The residence hall will bring in additional students, and those students will bring in additional revenue,” Weigand said.

According to Pitts, tuition is increased to maintain the university’s operating costs and provide quality education.

“It’s a good time for UIndy,” Pitts said.

“We’re happy that we don’t have to have a larger increase to maintain the quality education the UIndy students deserve.”

University of Indianapolis President Beverley Pitts spoke on Jan. 25 at the third annual Provost’s Lecture about her time with the National Football League Players Association.

Students and faculty gathered in Ruth Lilly Performance Hall to hear the details of Pitts’ career as a journalist, researcher and communications consultant for the NFLPA. The NFLPA is the union for professional football players in the National Football League. Established in 1956, the NFLPA has a long history of assuring proper recognition and representation of players’ interests, according to NFLplayers.com.

In her lecture, Pitts talked about how she rose from being a journalism professor at Ball State to working in the NFLPA. “I wanted to take a year off to work professionally as a journalist. I had done work with magazines and newspapers, but I wanted to work in a national media environment,” Pitts said. “I contacted people I knew and used my media connections.The gentleman who was the director of public relations of the NFLPA said he would be willing to take me on.”

Pitts worked with the NFLPA for about 20 years. During her career with the NFLPA, she worked for the director of public relations, writing stories for and about the players, covering and writing stories about events, writing for broadcast and working with video.

Pitts and the NFLPA worked to help people to see things from the players’ side and help break stereotypes.

“The players are not much older than many of you [referring to the students

in the audience]. They have always had people taking care of them. Many of them [players] come from poor families, and they have suddenly found themselves in the midst of money. Their careers are on the line with every game,” said Pitts.

Another part of Pitts’ job was conducting research on retired and retiring players.

She completed five studies over 15 years.

In addition to learning lessons about football through her career as a journalist and researcher, Pitts offered some advice that she learned through working in sports media.

“In sports journalism there is a sort of ‘I love sports, so I should be a sports journalist’ [mentality]. But it needs to be ‘I love journalism,’ because you need to know your craft,” Pitts said. “It’s not your knowledge of sports that gets you there, it’s your ability to work in a media environment.”

In addition to her journalistic lessons, Pitts learned lessons that can apply to everyone’s life, such as “there are no easy ways,” which she learned by watching football players play each game as if it were their last.

Pitts learned that there is an internal culture to every field and organization, so to be successful, one must learn to play by that culture’s rules.

Pitts also learned from going from the culture of academia at Ball State University to the different culture of the NFLPA that “going outside gives you a better look inside yourself.”

Pitts said she learned that “you have to pay your dues to get an opportunity for the big chance” when she saw that her skills from previous jobs as a journalist could transfer to her job at the NFLPA. Pitts says she also learned that sometimes one just has to throw caution to the wind and go for it.

An example Pitts gave was when she pretended to know how to write a TV script.

Along the same line, the final life lesson Pitts imparted was to try anything.

“Working for the NFLPA wasn’t in the requirements for becoming UIndy’s president, but what I learned there, and the new experiences I had made life more interesting, my opportunities greater and my skills better.You just never know where a door might lead, so be sure to open it,” Pitts said.

Pitts also cleared up the misperception, which some students may have, that professionals who are established in their fields did not have obstacles on their way to the top.

“Everybody faces obstacles, and when you see successful people later in their career, you have the impression that things have gone just fine for them,” Pitts said.

“But everybody has faced the obstacles you are facing, the difference is they just kept plodding along.”

After the lecture, in the discussion portion of the evening, a student asked what had been Pitts’ greatest career achievement.

“My greatest achievement is just being president,” Pitts said. “It’s as if everything I had done was leading up to this achievement.”

Reflecting on Pitts’ career as president, Mark Weigand, vice president for student affairs and enrollment management, remarked that Pitts guided the growth of the university from the outside in.

“President Pitts brought with her experience to UIndy the ability to grow with the larger community and within the university,” said Weigand. “We’ve obviously grown in enrollment, but we’ve also been able to work together as a community under her guidance.”

A Union Story

How Right to Work will hurt families

By Anna Wieseman NEWS EDITOR

I come from a union family.

My dad graduated from the IBEW apprenticeship program in 1995 when I was just three years old. Before that, he worked at the Indianapolis Repertory Theatre in the scene shop as a scenic carpenter. He has worked for 22 years with the electrical workers’ union.

Since I can remember, he has always been a hard working member of the organization. He started his own business to help provide for our family through the tough economy and worked to receive his master electrician license.

All of these licenses and certifications came from hours of studying and practical application of all the skills he had learned.

I’ve watched him sit at our kitchen table with books as thick as SAT prep books, memorizing electrical theories and national codes.

With all of the positive experiences I have had with unions, I cannot see how the Right to Work Bill can benefit Indiana families. Right to Work destroys everything that union organizations have worked for since their formation. This newly passed bill makes it illegal for unions to require workers to pay dues to be a member.With this bill, union workers could lose the foothold they have with the companies that employ them.

Since their start, unions have fought for what we now see as normal for our day jobs. We enjoy a five-day, 40-hour workweek, breaks, benefits and many other standards. Even at my job as a cashier at Penn Station, I am able to enjoy what union members have worked for.

I am able to receive a stable minimum wage and some sort of five-minute break during my shift.

Unions keep the workplace fair and safe for workers. Right to Work moves time backward. Unions will lose all power to fight changes that would make work more dangerous and exhausting. They lose the leverage to provide their workers with basic benefits that reduce stress on working families.

My father’s membership in IBEW has given us benefits for dental work, including mine and my brother’s braces, various emergency room visits throughout a clumsy childhood and less stress on our tight budget.

The retirement plan and safe working conditions kept my father motivated to work hard every day wiring buildings.

The dues my father had to pay over the years to the union helped keep these

benefits steady.

Even though I have seen all the positives that unions have to offer workers, I also can see the positives the bill might give other Indiana workers. Unions can block other workers from getting jobs and receiving benefits they may desperately need. This makes the choice of work limited for nonunion members. These workers may get stuck with jobs that are not as stable as the union jobs.

Not all jobs fit a union structure. After doing research on the topic for a debate class, I came to the conclusion that some unions hurt the job market, but this isn’t the case in most instances. For construction workers, electricians, carpenters, actors, technicians and others, unions keep working conditions safe.The membership provides security, and the union structure does not hurt the job market.

My life has been blessed by my dad’s hard work through shifts that allowed my mother to work at home. She has been able to work from her computer since she was eight months pregnant with my brother and I was two years old. All of the hard work allowed us to live comfortably.

I’ve never had a fancy life, but I’ve always known that my parents worked hard to give me everything I needed.

Union family life, however, isn’t all happiness and a great dental plan. I’ve watched the struggles of the uncertain times during layoffs. Yes, union workers get the benefits outlined, but they also live with the fear of jobs drying up and months of waiting to move up on the Out of Work List, or as I know it, The Book.

These layoff periods mean cutting back on small luxuries. Even during these hard times, my father picked up small side jobs to keep money coming to our family. He applied his skills as an electrician and used them to make money.

The Right to Work bill hurts workers who have put in the effort to secure a place on The Book. The idea of opening unions to all workers seems like an equalizer to outsiders, but the playing field is already equal in its own way.

Both union workers and nonunion workers have to worry about unemployment and keeping the benefits and conditions they enjoy. Both sides have to go through struggles to live comfortably.

Getting rid of the dues will only increase these struggles.

Unions make the working world safe and fair, and in the next few years, we will see a shift in Indiana because of this bill.

The trimester system Is this schedule the most beneficial to students?

By Calvin Johnson EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Most students who go to college plan to graduate in four years, maybe even five.

In following this plan, they may miss out on possible internships or studying abroad because their course schedules get in the way and they never really had the time.

Finishing up my final semester at UIndy, I think about how I could’ve done things differently. Could I have done less outside of school so I could focus on career plans? Or could I have done more than my usual course load and graduated on time?

This is where the thought of a trimester system popped in my head.

A trimester system is a set 3 semesters per academic year, usually a 10 to 13 week period each semester, requiring summer classes and less break time. Purdue University is currently in the process of implementing this system, given the student body’s approval or disapproval.

The trimester system could be in effect there in the coming years. Could UIndy do a good job of using a trimester system, in which the students stay on campus during the summer, make more use of the facilities and graduate significantly earlier? I believe we would and it would help the campus tremendously.

One of the key features of a trimester system, depending on your course load, is the opportunity to graduate in as little as three years. If I were given the option of having the regular two semester system or a trimester system, I would choose the trimester route solely for the purpose of graduating early and experiencing internships, looking for careers early and

possibly of even studying abroad, which I’ve always wanted to do. I feel this would benefit students more than the system we use now, and a lot of students would support this system.

However, one concern I have about the trimester system is cost. The trimester system could cause an increase in tuition.

Would there be a significant discount for students who want to take courses in the summer semester, or would tuition stay the same? If there were a decrease, I feel many students would make good use of a trimester system and have a better chance to work toward their career goals.

The trimester system could benefit the faculty as well, by having the facilities open to the whole student body during the summer, when normally a lot of the students go home to save up for next year’s textbook and tuition costs.

The trimester system would give professors and students an opportunity to enhance their learning and knowledge in their chosen field. I also feel that potential students who want to attend the university would take notice of the system and possibly enroll.

Ultimately, we don’t know if a trimester system will be put in place at UIndy, but it could be a way to enhance the learning experience even more. If the trimester system were implemented, it should be optional for the students so those who don’t want this system could stick with the regular semester system course load.

I, however, do think the trimester system could be beneficial.

However, if anything, this has taught citizens that we must remain vigilant.

Now more than ever, specific provisions in bills must be read by the citizenry and, by extension, our Representatives, before signing the legislation.

This lack of trust of citizens on the part of the politicians is not a new development. In the years following the terrible attack of 9/11, civil rights were rolled back in the name of “national security,” the now frequently cited reason for spying upon our own citizens.

Has the paranoia and fear-mongering really advanced to the point that now our very thoughts may be censored by extension of these bills? That is truly the implication of this legislation, no matter how one approaches it. While the importance of protecting intellectual property rights and the copyright laws are important, setting fire to an integral part of modern life and knowledge is far from an ideal solution, in particular for an industry that has spent more than $91 million in lobbying for SOPA in 2011.

It has been too long since the politicians have been reminded that they are elected to act in the citizens’ interest.

Those who do not must be voted out of office swiftly and harshly. Recall elections were invented for a reason. So were primaries. The burden of responsibility is on everyone’s shoulders, representative and citizen alike.

Looking to the future

By Garrison King EDITORIAL ASSISTANT The University of Indianapolis’ Career Services plans a number of networking opportunities for students in the second semester.

This past week, Career Services held the “Career Café” which was used to draw in students to connect with Career Services. Career Services’Technology and Recruitment manager Karen Childers said the Café was a tool to garner the attention of students.

“We use it to outreach to students. I think they [students] may be more comfortable in that setting than coming in and making an appointment,” Childers said.

Career Services started the Career Café last year as a way to make students aware of opportunities and allow students to get in contact with them.

Paul Gabonay, director of Career

Services, said that they have seen more interest from the student body.

“We are pleasantly surprised by the number of students that walked by. There were some significant conversations [with the students],” Gabonay said.

Career Services also provided personnel to work at a booth located in the Schwitzer Student Center last month.

They handed out brochures of upcoming events, job fairs and networking opportunities for students who are looking forward to the job market.

The Career Café allowed Career Services to get students on their mailing lists and to set up appointments.

“We want to get their attention,” Gabonay said. “We spend a lot of time marketing to pull in students.”

Career Services continues to work with students who seek out the office’s help and encourages students to use the tools available to them.

“We do a lot of interview practice

trainings. Students come in and sit down with professionals who know about interviewing,” Gabonay said.

Students involved in this process are recorded during mock interviews then shown the recording and coached by members of Career Services to help them develop.

“Students don’t become job search ready overnight,” Gabonay said. “We want them to at least have an idea and work to prepare themselves to compete for those opportunities.”

Members of Career Services do not solely seek the attention of juniors or seniors.They talk with freshmen in Freshmen Seminar courses to introduce them to career planning.

“It’s another outreach for young students and an introduction for them to plan their careers,” Gabonay said. “We want to connect with them early on.”

Career Services continues to encourage students to use their services to explore

Faith based groups merge Common goals bring similar groups together to spread fellowship

By Abby Gross DISTRIBUTION MANAGER

The University of Indianapolis’Fellowship of Christian Athletes and Athletes in Action recently merged to form one group, now called FCA/AIA. The groups merged after winter break because of their similar goals of fellowship among athletes, according to FCA/AIA President junior Haley Miller.

“The goal of the group is to provide a place where student-athletes can learn about Christ and share their faith openly among believers,” Miller said.

According to FCA/AIA Secretary Libby Anderl, FCA/AIA “equips, empowers and encourages people to make a difference for Christ.”

Miller said that athletes need to have a support group grounded in faith, because Christian athletes share a love for sports, as well as Christ.

“Fellowship is about being in community with people who share common interests and become a part of each other’s lives. For FCA, this means that fellowship is coming together because we love Christ, and we share the same mission field, which is our sport,” Miller said.

Anderl said that while UIndy has plenty of faith-based organizations, not many reach out to the population of student-athletes. Currently, FCA/AIA’s attendees have been mostly from the track and women’s soccer teams, but Anderl and Miller hope to reach out to a wider range of student-athletes from different sports.

According to Miller, FCA/AIA supports student-athletes playing “for Christ’s glory,” a task that she said can be challenging in collegiate athletics, especially given the emphasis on winning.

“In today’s culture, playing sports is about winning games, winning awards, being recognized and being the best,” Miller said. “Ultimately that glory is selfcentered and quickly fades.”

Although the group is designed with student-athletes in mind, Anderl said that all students are welcome and encouraged to attend. “[FCA/AIA] is for all students desiring to positively influence the world of Jesus Christ. Therefore, membership is open to all students,” Anderl said.

Anderl said that she hopes FCA/AIA will help heal the disconnect that often occurs between student-athletes and the general student population.

Each FCA/AIA meeting is centered

around fellowship. Meetings typically open with prayer, and then a studentathlete leads a Bible study and discussion before ending in prayer.

In addition to fostering fellowship, FCA/AIA also has service projects underway. On March 3, the group plans to volunteer in downtown Indianapolis with Andy’s Project, an organization that provides hot meals, clothes, Bibles and conversation for homeless individuals. Miller said FCA/AIA also wants to organize a banquet to give back to the surrounding community, but this project is still in the planning stage.

Miller emphasized the importance of serving others in addition to FCA/AIA’s weekly fellowship gatherings.

“It’s important to engage in service because that’s what Christ calls us to do,” Miller said.“Faith without works is dead.

We have to put our faith into action to show Christ’s love.”

FCA/AIA meets for approximately an hour on Sundays at 8 p.m. in the ARC Wells Fargo Room. All students are welcome, including students not involved in UIndy athletics. For more information on FCA/AIA, students can contact Libby Anderl at anderle@uindy.edu or Haley Miller at millerhb@uindy.edu.

undergraduates and also has alumni candidates as well.

“It’s a good idea for students to use JobHound,” Childers said. “We have about 200 jobs at a time posted, whether it is a part-time campus job or an advanced full-time job.”

Career Services is located in room 206 of the Schwitzer Student Center and is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m.

“He had had a number of illnesses in his life,” Pitts said. “He had recovered from some difficult times. He recovered from cancer a number of years ago, nearly 20 years ago and he had heart surgery about four years ago. But he was doing extremely, well, very healthy, very energized. We had just talked about two weeks ago, and he was ready to spend some time on his ranch in Colorado.”

Throgmartin had served as a member of the Board of Trustees since 1995. He was named the board secretary and to the executive committee at UIndy. He had been working at H. H. Gregg Appliances, Inc., for 36 years, starting at the bottom and working his way to the top. His grandfather started the business in 1955, and following in his footsteps,Throgmartin became a third-generation businessman.

“He was very helpful in issues related to investing our endowment money and dealing with financial issues, [he offered] good advice and good insight, and really a national view,” Pitts said.

Watkins said he will also miss Throgmartin’s business expertise.

“One of the things that will be missed the most from Jerry is his business perspective,” Watkins said. “He was an insightful, brilliant businessman and also a benevolent and honest businessman.”

PITTS Another way Throgmartin gave back to UIndy was with a gift of $400,000 from his company to help complete the support building for the new Athletics and Recreation Center.

“He always gave back to the community, and one of the beneficiaries of his good deeds was the church he attended, Grace Community Church,” said Board of Trustees member Bill Kiesel. “He was very philanthropic and generous, always charitable about what he earned.”

The viewing and funeral were held at Grace Community Church on Thursday evening and Friday afternoon respectively. Following the service was a private graveside service with close family and friends.

“He was a great colleague and friend of board members. All board members really liked him.” Pitts said. “He helped create a sense of collegiality, having a good time and friendship. There are some board members who were very, very close personal friends who will really, really feel the loss of Jerry.”

SPORTS Super Bowl XLVI

Experiencing

FEBRUARY 8, 2012

The photographer:

By Kelbi Ervin | Photo Editor

Discovering that I was receiving media credentials to take photos during Super Bowl week, I felt both nervous and excited.

Before my experience, I never knew how much preparation went into hosting the Super Bowl and what it took the week before game day.

I had originally imagined a press conference set up the way it is shown in the movies. When I walked into the first Giants’ press conference, it was unlike anything I had ever prepared for. The room had separate tables toward the front and a main podium in the back.

Players sat at separate tables so the media representatives could crowd around to ask questions and take photographs.

I started at Victor Cruz’s table. I was as polite as possible and apologetic for

ruining the view of any photographer. I was shocked to see how the media representatives reacted. Journalists from all types of media pushed and shoved their way through the crowd to get the perfect photo or quote.

Nobody cared if he or she ran into you. It was rare for a photographer to apologize for ruining the view of your photo. At first, I felt as if I were going to get run over. I immediately learned that to get a great photo, you have to fight for it.That’s when I realized how competitive journalism is.

The room was filled with the sounds of clicking camera shutters and journalists scrambling to ask questions. Although the noise was loud, I could still feel the silence at the same time. I could feel the vibes and the nerves of the players as they each answered questions. The main

podium, where Coach Tim Coughlin and Quarterback Eli Manning each took questions at separate times had more room for the media representatives with chairs.

As I stood by the podium listening to Manning answer questions, I was able to watch reporters from ESPN and various other sports news stations. I am only a freshman in college, so this experience felt unreal.

I was confident that I had learned enough about the media at the Press Conference to be prepared for Media Day on Tuesday Jan. 30. In my mind, I had planned exactly how I was going to act and how aggressive I was going to be to take good photos.

After passing multiple security checkpoints, I finally walked into Lucas Oil Stadium. I felt completely overwhelmed once again.

The number of media representatives in the stadium had at least tripled compared to the press conference the day before.

When the players first walked onto the field toward their tables, most of them immediately got out their cell phones and cameras to take photos of the media representatives.

I was shocked to see that professional football players are still human after all.

Everyone looks up to them as if they are superhuman, when in reality they have a regular life to live and emotions to control.

I developed a greater respect for the Super Bowl and the NFL after that moment.

I quickly learned how global the Super Bowl actually is after watching many reporters and photographers from different countries cluster around the players.

I also learned how our society respects members of the media. The hospitality

we received at Lucas Oil Stadium made me feel honored. It was such a privilege to look to the table next to us and see journalists from CNN Sports and others around the world.

After learning how to compete for a good angle, like any other photographer, I took more than 800 photographs in one week. I began the week as an ordinary freshman student at the University of Indianapolis and ended the week living the life of a big-time journalist. I realized that covering the Super Bowl meant covering one of the biggest sporting events in the world.

I am thankful and honored to have had such a great opportunity. I know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance, and I am happy that I got to take it. I will never forget my experience here in Indianapolis during Super Bowl Week 2012.

The reporter:

By Kellie Donnelly | Opinion Editor Super Bowl Media Day—an event during which representatives of hundreds of media outlets push, shove and sprint to Lucas Oil Stadium to get one hour of face-to-face time with the stars of the NFL. This year, I was lucky enough to participate in the madness as a representative of The Reflector.

Initially, I had no idea what to expect.

I’d never been inside Lucas Oil, nor had I ever participated in an event that drew such big media names.

With a media pass hung proudly from my neck, I started the day with a bus ride from the J.W. Marriott to Lucas Oil. From there, I was taken through a series of security check lines that included police dogs, patdowns and metal detectors.

Once inside Lucas Oil, members of

the media were treated like royalty. At this point, there was no hierarchy between ESPN and The Reflector—everyone was important.

At the field, about fourteen booths were set up with the names of the featured Patriots players, who were available from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Many outlets already were scrambling for a prime camera shot in front of Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski and Coach Belichick.This is the cutthroat, chaotic part of the media; people will literally shove you out of the way to get a better shot or to get their microphone closer.

At 10 a.m., Patriots players began to file out of the tunnel, holding cameras of their own and looking around in awe at the stadium.

As they made their way towards the various media outlets, I excitedly snapped pictures of them, and they did the same, snapping pictures of all the media madness.

For me, the experience began back in November. The week before Thanksgiving, I had completed the application for media credentials. I figured I would have an answer after the holiday, but I didn’t. About four weeks passed before I finally got the email that I had been waiting for—I was going to participate in the Super Bowl!

At that point, no one knew who was going to be in the Super Bowl, but I didn’t care. I knew the experience alone would be exciting—and it was.

Once I chose my team of a photographer and a fellow reporter, I had to submit our information for background checks. Obviously I wasn’t too worried about that part.

What shocked me the most was the fact that the information about where and when events were taking place wasn’t sent out until the weekend before all of them took place. I had to sit down with my team and come up with a game plan and fast. There was no time to waste.

The week began with the New York Giants’ press conference on Monday, Jan.

30, which gave the three of us a feel for how the rest of the week would unfold.

The week finally ended the night before the Super Bowl. The photographer and I covered the Inaugural National Football League Honors banquet.

The banquet began with a Red Carpet entry by celebrities such as Aaron Rodgers, Dwight Freeney, Alec Baldwin, Rex Ryan, Joe Namath, Joe Montana, Archie Manning and many more.

I had never experienced a Red Carpet event before, so the night was something I’ll never forget.There were so many cameras and microphones—everyone wanted that exclusive interview.

Overall, the week was full of new experiences, memorable moments and unforgettable lessons. I walked away from each event with a better appreciation for reporters and NFL players. Everyone was there to do a job. The reporters got paid to get the story and the football players got paid to answer the questions.

I will cherish the moments I had during the week. I was glad that I had the chance to step outside of the classroom and learn something a book simply could not teach me.

Middle left: New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady answers questions from media members during Media Day. Bottom center: Giants quarterback Eli Manning answering questions from media members during Media Day.

Sometimes it was hard to remember that this experience was as special for them as it was for us.

While the featured players made their way to their booths, the remaining 15 or 20 players, in uniform, walked shoulderto-shoulder with the rest of us, answering any and all questions. It was a surreal experience to be walking around and suddenly see Chad Ochocinco standing two feet to your right talking into an ESPN camera or to see someone rush by you lugging a huge CNN camera.

Another thing that surprised me was how fun the interviews were. Although there were the serious questions, some about Gronkowski’s injury and the Super Bowl rematch, the majority of the event was lighthearted.

There was everything from Televisa’s Marisol Gonzalez teaching players how to salsa to “106 & Park,” having players hilariously interview each other about their favorite music, to Maria Menounos telling Tom Brady how she hates the Giants.

Over the next hour, we also were able to visit every formal booth, standing mere inches from the players. At one point, while visiting Tom Brady’s booth, I listened to him talk about how he often has wedding invitations sent to his home requesting him to be the best man—from people he doesn’t even know.

At the conclusion of the Patriots’hour, we were all fed a delicious brunch before preparing for the Giants’ media time, from noon to 1 p.m. Once again, people lined up in front of big names such as Eli Manning and Coach Coughlin. The atmosphere outside the booths, however, remained just as enjoyable as six Giants players scrambled to get in a picture with singer Ciara. Overall, the day was exciting and filled with celebrities, big media names and NFL stars.

Not only did I get a firsthand look at how these events work, I also learned many other little lessons by watching everything around me: what to wear, how to get your question answered, what questions are OK to ask and so forth.

There is nothing more exciting and no better way to learn than watching the top reporters in the world at their job, and I was honored to have this experience at the Super Bowl Media Day.

Track and field sets new school record

By Scott Mitchell STAFF WRITER

The University of Indianapolis track and field team traveled to Taylor University on Feb. 4. Junior thrower Marcus Montgomery threw 17.63 meters. Freshmen distance runners Sean O’Brien and Kenny Brown placed first in the medley relay, finishing at 11:11.26 minutes.

Senior thrower Matt Royer was named Great Lakes Valley Conference Athlete of the Week for his performance in the Wabash Little Giants Invitational on Jan. 21.

Royer won the weight throw and set the new school record at 20.98 meters.

His toss also was an NCAA qualifying mark.

“It’s just all hard work. [You are] in the weight room when you’re supposed

to be, doing the proper lifts like you’re supposed to do and then just trusting your technique,” Royer said.

Royer was also an All American and Conference Champion in weight throw last season.This season Head Coach Scott Fangman’s expectations are no different.

“I think he can be a national champion,” Fangman said.

Royer said he will continue to work hard ROYER and hopes everything comes together at the right time.

He’ll be pushed by his lifting partners, who, according to Fangman, may be some

where we’re trying to get. We’re trying to get them to a national level.”

Fangman said he has faith in his female sprinters. He is counting on Miller and the relay team, and expecting the incoming freshmen to hit their stride as well.

Fangman is returning with what he believes is a better team than he had last year in both the women’s and the men’s track and field teams.

“The kids came back here [after Christmas Break] in the best shape [I’ve seen] since I’ve been here in 16 years,” he said.

Since the middle of January, the team has had to adjust to a new routine with the closure of the Athletics and Recreation Center. The ARC was turned over to the NFL in preparation for the New York Giants to use it as the practice site before the Super Bowl.

Fangman said that it has just made the team practice the old-fashioned way, but it should not affect the team’s performance.

of his toughest competition.

Last season the UIndy men’s weight throw took the top three spots at the indoor conference championships.

“Our men’s weight program is going to dominate conference,” Fangman said. “I still have that faith that we’re going to take top six at conference.”

The UIndy women’s track team also plans to build on last year’s success in the conference.

“We’ve got a lot of incoming freshmen that will do really well,”said junior sprinter Haley Miller. “Hopefully, as the season goes on, we [will] start proving ourselves more and more.”

Fangman hopes the freshmen will contribute to the improvement of the women’s team.

“With the girls, it’s not so much about national points, but we do have a considerable number of conference points,” Fangman said. “And that’s just

“It should not affect our ability to win the conference or to do well in the conference.

If we’re going to use that as a crutch, then shame on us,” Fangman said.

UIndy did not appear to be suffering from a lack of facilities during the meets on Jan. 29.

The Greyhounds sent two squads in different directions. One group headed to the Indiana Wesleyan Invitational while the other group drove down to the Indiana University Relays. Royer maintained dominance by throwing over 20 meters. Freshman jumper Josh Bass was second at the meet with a 7.03 meter leap. For the men’s squad at IU, junior sprinter/hurdler Jermel Kindred won the 400-meter dash with a time of 48.99.

On the women’s side, freshman thrower Carlynn Carter took second in both weight throw and shot put, with a mark of 13.15 meters in the first and 14.56 meters in the second.

The teams head to Bloomington on Feb. 10-11 for the Hoosier Hills Invitational.

UIndy savors home court advantage Men’s basketball team experiences wins and losses in January The Panthers scored the first five points of the game, but a jumper by Cheatham gave the Greyhounds’ their only lead of the game.

The Panthers scored a 3-pointer at the start of an 11-0 run and kept the lead the rest of the game.

With a home court advantage, the Greyhounds beat the University of Wisconsin-Parkside (8-11, 1-10 GLVC) 86-73 on Jan. 28.

The game was a high-scoring one, with Moss scoring 28 points and Cheatham scoring 26 points for the Greyhounds.

Although the starting lineup was changed with sophomore center Joe Daniels starting in place of senior center Wilbur O’Neal, the team was able to come back after the loss they had at Lewis University on Jan. 26.

“We’re not the greatest defensive team, but we can score the basketball. We want to speed teams up,”said Head Coach Stan Gouard. “Parkside is a team who wanted to walk the ball up the court a lot, so we wanted to get them out of their comfort zone and speed the game up.”

Parkside scored the first six points of the game, until the Greyhounds rebounded with a 9-0 run to take the lead.

New year, new strategy

Indianapolis relies on bench players to score

By Garrison King EDITORIAL ASSISTANT The University of Indianapolis women’s basketball defeated Southern Indiana (7-14, 1-12 GLVC) 72-53 on Feb. 4.

UIndy scored the first two points just nine seconds into the game. The Greyhounds would not let the Screaming Eagles take the lead the entire first half.

Just before half time, UIndy went on a 6-0 run started by a good layup from sophomore forward/center Eliza Wortman. In the second half, the Greyhounds continued to build their lead. With just over 14 minutes left on the game clock, junior guard Kristin Turner scored a 3-pointer and started an 8-0 run.

Turner scored a career-high 25 points as the Greyhounds shot 50 percent from the floor.

The Greyhounds overcame a 13 point deficit in the second half to defeat Kentucky Wesleyan 76-72 on Feb. 2.

Sophomore guards Megan Birchmeier and Katy McIntosh both scored from the free-throw line in the final seconds to secure the win for the Greyhounds.

The Greyhounds lost Saturday, Jan. 29, to the University of WisconsinParkside, 73-70. The Greyhounds were led by Turner with 24 points. Turner has been given the green light as the go-ahead scorer for the Greyhounds.

Head Coach Constantin Popa said it took Turner a while to get comfortable with her role.

“I had a good idea what she [Turner] could do if I gave her the freedom,” Popa said. “Her role is to score, and it was just a matter of time until she got comfortable in that role.”

Turner is averaging 18.9 points per game and set a career-high in points for three consecutive games—Ferris State, Illinois-Springfield and Quincy.

“Popa talked to me and told me to be confident and look for my shot,” Turner said. “I’m still getting used to it, but I’m trying to figure it all out.”

Junior forward Sydney Weinert

set the school’s single-season record for blocked shots. The loss to the Rangers tied the Greyhounds with the Rangers, as well as Northern Kentucky, for first-place in the Great Lakes Valley Conference East Division.

The Greyhounds took on Lewis University on Jan. 19. The Flyers defeated the Greyhounds in the GLVC Tournament finals last season.

UIndy won the game by 23 points and a final score 82-59. Turner led all scorers with 25 points. The Greyhounds saw several other players score in double figures, including McIntosh, Weinert and junior forward Nickole Gonser.

“I feel like we have the right coaches and the right players,” Turner said. “We have it all. We just have to finish.”

Since the beginning of the new year, the team has played two games every week. At one point, they played five games in ten days. Popa said that the schedule can take a physical and mental toll.

“It’s tough. It’s game after game,” he said. “You don’t have much time to work on a lot of things.”

Popa emphasized to his team that they need not only to understand the system but understand their role. Sophomore forward Chas Lecher said she had to buy in to what Popa wanted from her.

“I did not know what he [Popa] wanted me to do,” she said. “Once I realized I am needed in certain areas, I started to focus on defense and rebounding.”

Lecher, in her second year, has added some valuable minutes coming off the bench.

“When I come in [off the bench], I feel I need to keep the tempo up and get defensive stops,” she said. “I take care of the stuff that the team needs me to do.”

Popa wants to make sure that the Greyhounds know their opponents and adequately prepare for them.

“They’re all good teams from now on. It doesn’t matter what happened in the past,” Popa said. “We go one game at a time, and we just have to find ways to get it done.

That’s our motto, ‘Whatever it takes.’”

The Greyhounds continue conference play on the road with a rematch against Northern Kentucky University on Feb. 9.

Eventually, the Greyhounds led by 16 at halftime, 52-36.

“One of the main keys [of the game] was moving the ball around on the offense,” Cheatham said.

Gouard said that making the shots also played a large role in how the team played the game. Wisconsin-Parkside was able to cut its deficit to 11 at the beginning of the second half. UIndy returned with an 18-8 run taking its largest lead of 21 points with 9:17 left in the half.

The Greyhounds ended the game with a 13 point lead over Parkside.

“With eight players, it’s kind of held us back a little bit because we’re playing so many minutes,” Moss said.

The Greyhounds ended the game scoring 12 of 22 three-pointers and 14 of 19 free throws.

Moss came out with seven assists, four rebounds and three steals, in addition to his 28 points for the team. Cheatham finished with four assists, three rebounds and three steals in addition to being the second-highest scorer of the game, giving the team 26 points.

Both made five 3-pointers to help lead the way to victory for the Greyhounds.

UIndy will be on the road Feb. 9 to play at No. 15 Northern Kentucky.

>>Bundle up—just watching this movie will make you feel cold. As a small group of airplane crash survivors trek across the frigid waste of Alaska’s wilds, led by the introspective and phenomenal Liam Neeson as the suicidal John Ottway, the howl of the wind and wolves will make viewers shiver in their seats. This is not a happy film, as the men are hunted one by one by the wolves. But it is triumphant in its own way. It’s rare for a survival film to have characters so empathetic to the audience as these, but that is what makes the film work so well. Their conversations concerning humanity, family, God, life and death are made increasingly hard-hitting as they are hunted by a primal pack of wolves.

This is the fearless sort of filmmaking that we’re lucky to see receive a wide release.

“The Grey” is not afraid to venture into the existential territory many fans of action films may find unfamiliar. It’s a great development for films of each genre. Be warned, this is not the action-thriller it was marketed as—it’s far better than that.

>>Several months ago, Lana Del Rey was a relatively unknown name in the music industry. But recently the 25-year-old has rocketed to global superstardom. Del Rey’s first album, “Lana Del Ray A.K.A. Lizzy Grant” debuted in January 2010 but was removed from iTunes after a short while due to poor reception. In preparation for her second album, “Born to Die,” released on Jan. 31, her debut album was rereleased this summer.“Video Games,”a nearly five-minute sorrowful, yet penetratingly honest ballad, was the new album’s first single. Del Rey has been widely criticized for everything from her obvious inexperience with the media to her perpetually pouty lips. Her recent questionable performance on “Saturday Night Live” earned her perhaps the most ridicule, but she was not discouraged, telling Rolling Stone magazine, “I actually felt good about it. I thought I looked beautiful and sang fine.” This rising star can be expected to remain in the musical spotlight for quite some time.

>>Worker bees spending time downtown should be delighted to hear about this wonderful breakfast and lunch location, open 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Friday. Hot, fresh coffee is available in the morning, along with made-toorder breakfast sandwiches and delectable, freshly baked muffins. The restaurant also boasts a delicious lunch menu with madeto-order sandwiches, soups, salads and more. Unique sandwiches are offered, such as the inside out grilled cheese. I opted for a vegetarian option: a hot sandwich with toppings of my choice, and a cup of black bean and corn chili. That express lunch cost only $4.95. Located downtown on West Market St., right across from the Capitol Building, and with prices you can’t beat, The Educated Sandwich is the perfect place for a busy college student to stop by for breakfast, lunch or even a specialty latte. You can also bring your laptop along; the restaurant provides a comfortable atmosphere to complete homework.

>> One of the main attractions the Super Bowl Village boasted about was the zip line over Capitol Ave. It propelled you for 650 feet at 80 feet above ground.

While waiting in line, you could watch people participate in the bags tournament and see the other fun activities on the turf area of Capitol Ave. After finally making it to the front of the line and up hundreds of stairs, the lofty view of Super Bowl Village and downtown Indianapolis could not be beaten. The actual zip line ride was just as exhilarating with speed, height, a rush of air and hundreds of people looking up at you. Suddenly I understood why each participant before me was yelling with joy as he or she flew by. And after about 15 seconds, the ride was over. Wait, five hours in line for 15 seconds? Although thousands of people flocked to this thrilling attraction, at the end of the day, waiting as much as seven hours in line is not worth 15 seconds of thrill. So while the ride itself receives five stars, I cannot say the same for the overall experience.

>>Rock ‘n’ roll group Fuel performed on Feb. 1 at the Super Bowl Village in downtown Indianapolis as part of the Super Bowl 2012 festivities. The group, backed by lead vocalist Brett Scallions, performed many of its classic hits from the late 90s to the early 2000s.To the audience’s delight, Fuel played “Hemorrhage (In My Hands),” which is one of the most popular songs of the band’s career. Although the playlist was very short compared to most shows, the performance was very enjoyable, considering the concert was free.

Additionally, the music itself teamed with the enthusiastic Super Bowl fans made for an exciting experience. Surrounding the concert venue,downtown Indianapolis was flooded with people exploring the Super Bowl attractions. During the concert, Fuel played many new tracks that the public had not yet heard, including some from the group’s upcoming album. The band’s free show was just one of many activities planned for Super Bowl fans in Indy to attend.

Alumnus displays retrospective exhibit

UIndy musicians hold Mu Phi benefit concert for good cause

Jim Kemp returns to showcase pottery

By Michele Bates STAFF WRITER The Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center Art Gallery recently unveiled its newest exhibit in the second semester. University of Indianapolis alumnus Jim Kemp showcased pottery and photographs in his exhibit “30 Years of Jim Kemp.”

Art and Design Professor Dee Schaad, a former professor of Kemp’s, said that members of the department decided to showcase his art after they realized that it had been omitted from an alumni exhibit they had held a couple of years ago.

“We asked Jim if he would be willing to do a retrospect [exhibit],” Schaad said.

“He’s got 30 years of art activity in the city of Indianapolis.”

After being approached by the Art & Design department at UIndy, Kemp decided to display this exhibit because he wanted to show photographs that documented pottery he had made throughout his career.

“Don Miller has taken pictures of my work on a fairly routine basis for the past 30 years,” Kemp said in his artist statement. “My business requires good images and Don has done a beautiful job for me.”

Kemp has been making pottery for almost 40 years. His work has been displayed in several exhibits such as the Indiana Ceramics Invitational, Mid States Crafts Exhibit and Functional Ceramics Retrospective. He has also won several awards including Best in Show in the Broad Ripple Art Fair. Schaad said he is proud of Kemp’s success.

“You don’t often get people who are highly successful in the areas that they choose,” Schaad said.

Sophomore psychology major Caitlynn Canady said that she had never been to a pottery exhibit but she enjoyed walking around the gallery and seeing Kemp’s unique artwork.

“My favorite piece was ‘The Porcelain Teapot,’” she said. “I also enjoyed the photos [of his artwork] because I like to take pictures too.”

Schaad said that Kemp’s exhibit at UIndy shows how his pottery has evolved from when he was a student to what he does now.

According to Kemp’s artist’s statement, he has always decorated his pottery pieces.

“I have used variations of dots and rectangles to decorate, from the brushstrokes I used to use, to the stamping and carving that I now employ,” Kemp said in the statement. “The thing I like most about clay is that it can be formed into anything. “ “30 Years of Jim Kemp” will be on display until Feb. 10. Canady said she recommends that students attend.

“I think it’s awesome that they are displaying a UIndy graduate’s work,”Canady said. “It ‘s been one of my favorites so far.”

What began as a hypothetical class project for a University of Indianapolis music student turned into a real-life, dual-donation project designed to provide an orphanage in Haiti with musical instruments and clean drinking water for the community as well.

Senior music performance major Susan Lutterbach took a professional development workshop course last spring semester, for which the final project was to develop a music advocacy project. After much thought, Lutterbach decided on Music Heals, which intended to raise money to purchase instruments for an orphanage in Leogane, Haiti.

“Once I talked to the pastor [of the orphanage], I kind of got attached, and I thought, ‘Oh, this would be really awesome to do in real life,’” Lutterbach said.

Lutterbach believes that participation in music, or any creative activity, is very important to the developmental process for children.

“I think everyone should have some sort of connection to music and the arts in general,” Lutterbach said.

She keeps in contact with the pastor and was informed in June that they [Leogane] had a cholera epidemic break out, and that is when Lutterbach began accepting donations for the water filtration project. Lutterbach said that $2,000 are needed to fund the water project.

At 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 27 in the Ruth Lilly Performance Hall of the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center, the UIndy Beta Psi Chapter of Mu Phi Epsilon hosted its annual benefit concert to support Music Heals.

Associate Professor of Music Rebecca Sorley, seniors Maddison Swinney and Kim Jansen, and technical and operations manager Peter Nichols perform together.

“I’m happy with it,” Mu Phi Epsilon historian Lutterbach said. “This was the first time Music Heals had been vastly introduced to the public. It was a great way to get the name out there and I’m very happy and thankful that Mu Phi agreed to choose this charity for the benefit concert.”

For the first time this year, facultystudent collaborations were included in the benefit concert. Director of Educational Outreach and Associate Professor of Music Rebecca Sorley thought the collaborations added to the show.

“It is a great learning experience to work with one’s mentor, and the collaborations were definitely some of the

highlights of the performance,” Sorley said.

Sorley is the faculty adviser to Mu Phi Epsilon. She thinks that organizing concerts is a great learning opportunity for students.

Music technology and recording major Kim Jansen played an important role in making sure that the benefit concert went smoothly. She put together the program, sent out the technology request and filled out the requirements for stage changes. As vice president of Mu Phi Epsilon, she was happy to help. She also performed a handbell number with senior music technology and recording major Maddison Swinney and Technical and Operations Manager

Peter Nichols, while Sorley accompanied on piano. Eight other performances by music students and faculty showcased their talents and passion.

“We use music to make the world better,” Jansen said. “It’s important, because music is so valuable to us. It’s hard to live without art and we think it’s very important for us to share it in any way we can.”

Checks, cash and small instrument donations will be gladly accepted. Checks can be made out to Music Heals. Donations can be dropped off at Administrative Assistant in the Music Office Mary Catherine’s desk. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

any products on the market today offer to solve people’s body image problems while causing them to exert only the minimum effort. With busy schedules, college students might be able to benefit from these products, including Spanx and hair dye. They provide so-called “quick fixes” to body image problems that college students face.

Spanx

Spanx, a company founded by Sara Blakely in 2000, is known for its “body-shaping, butt-boosting, thigh-trimming and tummy-taming” undergarments, according to its website. Spanx also sells unisex swimwear and undergarments. When there is no time to go to the gym, Spanx offers an alternative and is sold at Target, J.C. Penney or online at www.spanx.com.

2. Tanning In 2010, thirty million people tanned indoors every year, according to ABC News. Furthermore, almost 75 percent of them are females between the ages of 16 and 29. There are reported benefits of tanning. According to Women to Women (www.womentowomen.com), tanning could increase vitamin D in the body, and has even been said to reduce facial acne and improve skin tone. So during the Indiana winter when sun tanning is not an option, local tanning salons such as Sun Tan City (4155 S. East St.) and E Z Tanz (5905 Madison Ave. #C) may provide alternatives for those interested.

3. Contact Lenses According to the Johnson and Johnson Vision Care website, 34 million people in the United States wear contact lenses. Approximately 15 percent of those who wear contact lenses wear colored contacts, some of which are enhancer tints, which deepen natural eye colors, and some of which are opaque tints which change eye color altogether. So, whether searching for contacts to improve vision or to alter eye color, Dr. Tavel Family Eyecare (3636 South East St.) or Heartland Vision (1551 E Stop 12 Road #D) offer both.

Diets raise some concern

Diet programs, pills offer several ways for people to lose weight

By Kaley Belakovich MANAGING EDITOR Many people make a New Year’s resolution to lose weight. Whether through diets, exercise or both, these people have many options from which to choose.

However, according to Associate Professor of Kinesiology Matthew Beekley, although there are a lot of diets out there, the question is whether they are healthy.

“The two things that a good diet to help with weight loss needs are to reduce your calories and then to be nutritionally adequate,” Beekley said.

Some popular diet programs include Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig.

“Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig can work for folks if they follow the diet and stick with it,” Beekley said.

The U.S. News and World Report’s Best Diets 2012 ranked diets with the help of 22 experts in diet and nutrition.

Weight Watchers ranked No. 1 in “Best Commercial Diet Plans” with a 3.9 out of 5 stars. The Jenny Craig

diet was ranked second in that same category with a 3.7 out of 5 stars.

Diet programs are not the only way people can attempt to lose weight. These days, there are many diet pills on the market.

However, Beekley said that most of these pills do not help people with weight loss.

“The only one [diet pill] that really has FDA approval now is Alli, and that hasn’t been a huge success. The amount of weight loss is not like we need it to be.

There’s a bit more than diet and exercise, but it’s not a whole lot of weight,” he said. “And there are side effects. It’s a fat blocker, and fat comes out in our stool.”

According to Beekley, this can cause a condition called steatorrhea, which is an excess of fat in feces.

“The rest of the pills on the market frankly haven’t been showing [that] they work,” Beekley said. “There are a variety of reported reasons why they are supposed to work, but none of them do.”

Some diets, such as the Atkins diet, have caused controversy about whether they are healthy.

Following the Atkins diet, people cut out a majority of their carbohydrates, including those found in fruits and vegetables.

“One [diet] that is not healthy and certainly comes under fire a lot is the Atkins diet, because it’s so high in fat,” said Linda Rodebaugh, associate professor of nursing. “Yeah, you will lose weight on it, but you’re also clogging your arteries. And some people stay on it for long periods of time, and they clog their arteries and end up making their heart disease worse.”

According to Rodebaugh, one main reason people are attracted to some diets is the “quick fix” idea.

“They [dieters] are motivated by ‘let’s do this, and I want to see instant results,’” she said. “They don’t really want to necessarily work at it.”

Beekley said that the key to any diet is to ensure proper nutrition.

“The problem [with some diets] is that people will not be able to tell if the diet is nutritionally accurate. That’s the difficult part with fad diets,” he said. “As long as the diet causes you to reduce your calories, it can help you with weight loss. Whether it’s healthy for you can be a separate issue. So, for people who want to lose weight, it’s ultimately a combination of burning more calories—that is, doing exercise— and reducing your calorie intake somehow through your diet.”

Exercise promotes better self image

A Tresemmé study found that women spend $50,000 each year on hair products.

According to another study by Miss Clairol, approximately 50 percent of women in America over the age of 25 color their hair. Whether they use hair dye bought from a local drugstore or receive a professional treatment at a salon, hair dye is used by both men and women not only to hide greys, but also simply to try a new look. Nearby stores that supply hair dye include Walmart (7245 U.S. 31 South) and CVS Pharmacy (5920 Madison Ave.). A local hair salon that offers different hair color treatments is Indianapolis Hair Salon and Spa (8610 Madison Ave.).

By Abby Gross DISTRIBUTION MANAGER After the New Year’s holiday, many Americans go to fitness clubs and gyms, clad in new exercise clothes and wearing their resolutions on their sleeves. Now, likely many of those picture-perfect resolutions have been broken, still lingering in the backs of their minds. February is smack dab in the middle of those faded resolutions and new beach-body dream goals for Spring Break. Why, though, does our nation’s exercise come in such defined cycles of obsession?

It all comes down to one’s body image. According to Kinesiology instructor Mindy Mayol, body image refers to how you see yourself and how you feel in your body.

“Having a healthy body image means you feel good in your own skin,

despite any flaws,” Mayol said.

Mayol said that the media, while a good tool for education about positive body image in some cases, can spin and distort the idea of a perfect body.

“We are so connected. We can get all sorts of different mediums of media all over. It seems to be saying, ‘Well if you’re not looking like this, then you may have something wrong with you,’” Mayol said.

The media recently brought body image to the public spotlight. It caused much controversy among many individuals who believe the fashion world’s pressure to be thin is overwhelming and unhealthy.

According to the January 2012 issue of PLUS Model magazine, a photo editorial reported that a size six model is considered plus size. It also said that most runway models have a Body Mass Index that matches anorexia criteria.

Mayol said that these statistics are alarming because they send a threatening message of sacrifice: “Do what it takes, even if it is unhealthy, to look like this.”

Mayol added that such media pressure can cause individuals to concentrate on their flaws, which often stems from poor self-esteem and body image.

“We, as humans, are our own worst critics,” Mayol said. “We see things on our self or about our self that most people may not even see or notice.”

Often times, students in wellness classes approach her with what she describes as “unrealistic expectations” for changing their physical bodies through exercise.

Regular exercise comes with a host of health benefits. It even can contribute to a healthy body image.

Mayol recommends that individuals set realistic and short-term goals in order to achieve more challenging long-term goals.

Although different goals dictate different modes, frequencies and duration of exercise, Mayol said that the general guideline is 30 to 60 minutes of moderate cardiovascular exercise for most days of the week. Exercisers should aim to incorporate cardio, strength training and flexibility to reap the most health benefits.

Mayol cautioned that exercise should not become a destructive obsession that takes over one’s life or is seen as punishment for poor eating behaviors.

Excessive exercise is different, dangerous and often associated with eating disorders.

For those students who wish to maintain a healthy image by exercising, the University of Indianapolis has many options. One of these is free monthly Zumba classes sponsored through Campus Program Board.

“No one is afraid to come to Zumba because of what they look like or their athletic ability,” CPB President Samantha Frye said.

Zumba classes are held on campus once a month at 7 p.m. in UIndy Hall C. Students who are interested in the classes can refer to the online MyUIndy calendar or the flyers around campus.

“I love going to the Zumba classes,” sophomore biology major Amber Lindahl said. “It’s a fun way to be healthy and stay in shape.”
