The University of Indianapolis offers many three-week courses in May that include a travel component as part of the UIndy Spring Term program.

Every UIndy student is required to take a Spring Term course as part of the university graduation requirement. Classes have destinations all over the world from Greece, Belize, Canada, England, Japan, France, Germany, Costa Rica and China, among others. Many classes are already full, but some still have remaining seats, such as Belize and France. If you want to stay a little closer to home, travel isn’t a necessity. UIndy offers classes in countless disciplines for students right here on campus during Spring Term. If you haven’t taken a Spring Term course or are just interested in finding out what is offered this semester, refer to Page 8 for information on both travel and on-campus classes.

Social Work Committee sponsors March events

By Heather Nguyen STAFF WRITER

The University of Indianapolis Social Work Program Committee is preparing events for Social Work Month in March 2010.

The theme this year is domestic violence. The events are designed to educate the community about the relevant issue.

“We want to educate students about social work issues,” said Assistant Professor of Social Work Tracy Marschall.

“It seems like domestic violence in society as a whole seems to be increasing.”

OPINION 2

Last year’s Social Work Month theme was addiction. This year, the committee considered media-covered events, like the Chris Brown and Rihanna incident, as well as issues they see in their own everyday lives when choosing the theme.

“We want to make it aware that you don’t have to be in a negative relationship and that everyone should be more kind in general,” said Rosie Butler, former executive director of the Marion County Children’s Guardian Home. “A relationship isn’t necessarily just dating; any kind of relationship

The University of Indianapolis College Democrats will host “Breakfast with Your Legislator” on March 5, featuring several of Indianapolis’ legislators, who will address issues students are concerned with.

“Breakfast with Your Legislator” will start off in UIndy Hall A in the Schwitzer Student Center at 8 a.m. The event will begin with a free breakfast, followed by a question-and-answer session with the legislators and conclude with a meet-and-greet.

The event is free but students must have a ticket to attend. The use of tickets is mainly due to limited number of seats, as well as to make an educated guess on how much food should be ordered. Only 100 seats are available.

Students may also receive LP credit for attending.

Several legislators will be present for the event, including Indiana state representatives John Barnes, Greg Porter and Mary Ann Sullivan.

According to Chris Jackson, senior and president of UIndy College Democrats, there are still more legislators potentially planning to attend the breakfast. Jackson believes it’s important for students and all community members to get to know their legislators.

JACKSON “They’re the ones that write the laws that affect you most,” Jackson said.

Jackson also said that Sullivan was asked to attend because part of the university’s campus is in her district. She also represents the area north of UIndy. Barnes was included because his district starts at State Street. Porter was invited to come because he is chairman of the education committee.

Alex Lyster, junior and vice-president of UIndy College Democrats, has been convincing students to come and has also been publicizing the event.

“I mainly do what Chris can’t do,” Lyster said. “I’ve also been helping get the LP slip information together.”

Although Jackson is credited with coming up with the idea of having legislators attend breakfast with students, he admitted that the whole executive board of UIndy College Democrats helped develop the idea. Lyster said that the club loved the idea after Jackson pitched it, and they really began pushing for it. The event has been tossed around since last semester, but the idea was not seriously planned and developed until January 2010.

“We’re hoping that it will inform students as to what goes on in the legislature,” Lyster said. “This is a student’s chance to get involved, find out what’s going on and make a difference. It’s important for us to meet who actually represents us.”

Jackson further acknowledged the accessibility of the Indiana state legislators.

“Legislators love to talk to people,” Jackson said.

From your gloves to my mouth

International cliques A look at how students tend to separate along cultural lines

By Ashley Williams STAFF WRITER

By Konye Ori STAFF WRITER The University of Indianapolis has become so diversified one may not need to travel the world to meet people from vastly different cultures, landscapes, backgrounds and beliefs. UIndy offers a plethora of diverse students from every corner of the globe. However, is the convergence of tribes, cultures, kingdoms and nations at UIndy a reflection of world unity?

In my observations, social comfort zones still take precedence over the level of social assimilation one would expect.

Despite the multicultural atmosphere at UIndy, it is not uncommon to find Asian students working as a group in the science labs, or on a class project, rather than in a mixed group.

The same fractionalization is evident at the cafeteria as well; the Asians dine together at a table and so do the African students, European students, MiddleEastern students, African-American students and Caucasian-American students. The instinctive fractionalization is quite palpable.

This is not to say that there aren’t students at UIndy who have broken, or who continually break the barriers of race, ethnicity, nationality or culture.

The trend is one where most students are reluctant to step out of their comfort zones and take the road less trodden by embracing the richness in the diversity this university has to offer.

Apparently, the international coffee hours, taste of the world, celebration of the flags and all other diversitycelebrating programs on campus have not done enough to enthuse the average UIndy student into mixing up the party in the cafeteria, the hangouts and the class room group projects.

Nonetheless, UIndy students can improve their communication with traditionally unfamiliar populations and travel through the forests of culture, color, gender, abilities and socioeconomic differences.

Now, it can be argued that this trend is of course an issue of preference, and certainly, one has a right to one’s personal preferences. However, our generation has what previous generations missed out on: an education on the platform of diversity.

The hope for a more united and peaceful world depends on what we at UIndy do with our diverse community whether at the cafeteria, in our classrooms, or at the student’s hangout spots.

An overall understanding of the significant role of cultural variables in cross-cultural interaction may become the bridge to mutual indulgent and acceptance in the universal situations of cultural differences.

Understanding someone from another culture is more than the knowledge of how and why other people think and behave as they do. It also involves adjusting one’s own world-view, and this of course can begin at the cafeteria.

Join the Asians at their table and engage with them. Invite the MiddleEasterners to a pick-up basketball game, and join the Africans and Europeans for a soccer game on Friday; it may be the beginning of a better world.

As declared by the United Nations, “For humanity to move forward successfully in the 21st century, a spirit of unity must be cultivated within the hearts of all nations and people. A foundation must be laid that will allow each nation to grow and prosper individually, but also collectively within the context of an interdependent global community.”

A successful future for all nations and people depends upon strengthening the bonds of our commonality as human beings while honoring our differences.

To create a healthy global environment for all nations to overcome the struggles they face, we must recognize that all have erred, and all have faults, yet each has cultural gifts to share.

Let us recognize and value those gifts. Let us celebrate the wealth of our diversity and strive to learn from each other and help one another in a spirit of openness, understanding, trust and respect. For what unites us is greater than what divides us.

An anemic fan-base?

UIndy’s strong athletic teams have little to show in the form of fan support; spirit

By Kellie Donnelly STAFF WRITER Did you know that the University of Indianapolis finished fifth in the Learfield Sports Director’s Cup standings for the 2008-2009 season? Did you know that out of over 250 Division II schools, UIndy outscored every single one athletically during last year’s spring season? According to our home game attendance, likely not.

UIndy has a history of extremely successful sports teams. In fact, just last year, we had 25 Greyhounds earn All-American honors. Currently, the women’s basketball team is ranked third nationally, the softball team fifth, women’s swimming and diving 11th, baseball 12th and men’s swimming and diving 16th. The volleyball team ended its season ranked sixth, while women’s golf is fifth and men’s golf is ninth. In addition, the women’s soccer team enjoyed national rankings as high as 10th throughout its season, as did the men’s and women’s indoor track teams. But where are the fans?

Despite the winning tradition of the Greyhound athletics, the majority of its teams rarely enjoy a large home crowd to cheer them on. In fact, most of the time the student body is completely unaware that it has such successful athletic teams playing on it’s own campus.

For example, the women’s basketball team held a Pink Zone game on Feb. 15. The team was ranked second in the nation at the time. It was their final home game before the conference tournament, and the theme was to wear pink and support breast cancer awareness. Yet, looking out at the stands, there were many rows of empty bleachers in Nicoson Hall. In addition, there was no admission fee for UIndy students, as it is for all UIndy home games.

Furthermore, this fall, the volleyball team’s successful regular season earned them the right to host the NCAA regional tournament. This time, the games were heavily promoted by the school to garner a large home crowd, and the student body answered; yet there was one problem: the entry tickets to the game had a picture of a football player with the caption “University of Indianapolis football vs. Kentucky Wesleyan” on it. Let me remind you this was a volleyball game.

It is frustrating that the football team, one of the school’s least successful programs, can fill well over half of Key Stadium, but a home soccer game and rarely has more fans there than the player’s parents.

“It’s kind of embarrassing,” junior soccer player Taryn Zimmerman said. “I’ve had classmates who didn’t even know the soccer teams played on campus.”

The baseball team echoes these

thoughts.

“When we go play other schools, even those who aren’t as good as us, they almost always have a larger home crowd,” sophomore baseball player Scott Lawley said.

Part of this problem is due to the university’s half-hearted attempts at promoting home games. Unless students take the initiative to look up game times online, they are usually unaware when home games are, unless they are friends of athletes.

The only attempt I’ve seen to address this is when the school inconsistently puts a sign in Schwitzer Student Center with home game times, but it’s not even done for every home game and more than once the incorrect game time has been posted. Overall, it’s not very helpful.

The student body should be more proud of its successful athletic teams.

All of UIndy’s student athletes work extremely hard and put in a lot of time and effort to be as good as they are.

It would be rewarding if the student body recognized this and came to more home games, especially since there is no admission fee for UIndy students.

Perhaps more promotion is needed for game times, or maybe more events need to take place at home games to draw a larger crowd. Either way, something needs to be done to get more students at home games so athletes feel like they have a school that is proud to have them.

Have you ever gotten out of a long morning of classes and help yourself to nice sandwich at the ’Sub Hub’ for lunch?

But while standing in line, you watch the worker assemble someone else’s sandwich and when they go to ring up their order they take off one glove to swipe the customer’s card or shuffle their money, then the worker puts the glove back on and does it all over again? Do you think to yourself, “how gross?” and kindly step out of line? Well you should.

While standing in line at the ‘Sub Hub’ or ‘Fiesta Grill’, you may or may not have noticed that some of the employees do not change their gloves when they should. I have watched some employees change their gloves after a customer pays for their meal, and I have seen the opposite.

Employees that do change their gloves seem to be the ones that have worked for Polk Food Service longer or are more responsible. These people realize the germs they could be spreading to students and faculty members.

Other employees at these restaurants either do not care about the health risks involved with playing with food and money, or are too lazy to simply change their gloves.

By that point, I am wondering: what’s the point of them wearing gloves if they are not going to change them?

With the seasonal cold and flu, and the returning H1N1, PFS and their employees should make sure responsibility is in action and gloves are being changed.

No one knows what germs money and student ID cards carry. Student ID cards go from our back pockets to the hands of the people in the cafeteria or restaurants.

While money touches too many people’s hands before it reaches a sandwich artist at ’Sub Hub’.

At the end of last semester, when everyone was fighting hard to get rid of excess meals, I took my mom to the ‘Sub Hub’ for lunch. An employer had finished exchanging money with a student, and when she came to make our sandwiches, my mom politely asked her to change her gloves. She did so without a problem.

Honestly, we as customers should not have to ask workers to up their standards of health. It takes a quick second to put on a new pair of gloves, and I am pretty sure no one would mind if the line was held up because they were taking precautions. I would rather stand in line an extra minute than to catch the flu due to a lack of precautions.

I am not asking that they change gloves every time they make a new meal, just only when they have to make food and later touch a student ID card or money. And please, as students and faculty members, we cannot be afraid to take precautions ourselves. If you should ever be put in the middle of this situation ask them to change their gloves, and if they refuse, step out of line and take the issue up with a manager.

The fact that they do not do this sometimes on their own is nasty, dangerous and very annoying.

Iceland trip influences professor’s educational, world views

By Kaley Belakovich STAFF WRITER

In 2008, Dr. Greg Reinhardt, professor and chair of the anthropology depar tment at the Universit y of Indianapolis, received a Zerfas Travel Grant. In July 2009, he used it to go somewhere he’d never been before— Iceland.

“To apply for a Zerfas Travel Grant, you fill out a one-page form plus a description of what you’ll do with the grant money and submit it to the UIndy Sabbaticals and Grants Committee,” Reinhardt said.

According to Reinhardt, Zerfas Travel Grants can be awarded to any faculty member who applies. A person doesn’t need a specific reason for going—only the desire to travel.

Reinhardt originally planned to go to Scotland in 2008 but postponed the trip. By the time he decided to use the grant in July 2009, he changed his destination to Iceland because he had a friend working in archeology there, he had never been there before and he wanted to capture photographs of new foreign scenery.

Reinhardt shot c lose to 1,600 photographs in the 12 days he spent in Iceland. Most of Reinhardt’s trip was spent driving along the coast, but the city he spent the most time in was Iceland’s capital, Reykjavik.

SOCIAL from Page 1 should be healthy, whether it’s a parent and child, or a simple friendship. There are a lot of friendships that are very toxic.”

Butler will also be guest speaking at an upcoming Speaker’s Panel.

The first event will be held on March 24. Resource tables will be set up in the Schwitzer Student Center atrium, providing pamphlets and information about domestic violence.

On March 25, the committee will be hosting their first Speaker’s Panel, which all students and faculty are encouraged to attend. This event and events following will also be available for LP credit.

“I think this will be a good thing because it really does happen and many people don’t know it and most people don’t know the early signs of abuse. I think students will come so it would be a good thing to have,” freshman and psychology major Nicole Lane said.

The committee will soon be sending out e-mails with domestic violence facts and will also be hanging posters around campus to inform students about where and when their next event will be.

Despite Reinhardt’s relatively short stay, he managed to witness several unique occurrences. During Reinhardt’s first few days in Iceland he witnessed a fire in a hotel of the oldest parliament building in Thingvellier, built in 1,000 A.D. According to Reinhardt, six fire trucks showed up, but he only saw one of them pumping water, and that truck didn’t start pumping water until the fire had largely burned itself out and the place had burned down.

Everyday practices were uniquely interesting as well.

“One of the things that most fascinated me was driving,” Reinhardt said.

According to Reinhardt, Iceland is full of roads much different than those in the US. Roundabouts replace stoplights in rural areas, hairpin turns are much more common, there are no shoulders on the roads and the roads are built slanting upward in the middle and down to the sides. The lack of having roadside shoulders in combination with the builtup roads is dangerous due to the strong winds common in the area, causing cars to be blown off the road easily.

“They don’t seem to believe much in guard rails,” Reinhardt said.

City stoplights are slightly different than in the U.S. People can anticipate green lights in Iceland because instead of the standard yellow-red-green stoplights in the U.S., the lights in Iceland flash

yellow again after red to let drivers know the light will soon be green.

Another difference Reinhardt mentioned was the hot water. “ The hot water supply is all geothermal,” Reinhardt said. “Everyone has hot water because it’s heated by the earth.”

Reinhardt incorporates many things from his trip into his classes, such as the differences in Icelandic and English languages, genetics, the Viking history, the roads, harbors and geology. He also uses an unpublished book with multiple pictures in his classes that deal with photography. It includes many pictures from his trip to Iceland. “[Reinhardt’s] teaching style engages the students,” junior Taylor Owings said, a student in Reinhardt’s global problems class. “He makes you think for yourself and really think about the problems in the world.”

Reinhardt’s trip to Iceland changed his perspective on life by experiencing such a different culture.

“Most of the villages are on the coast because the people are fishermen and that’s a traditional source of Icelandic livelihood,” Reinhardt said. “Iceland changed my view of the world by reminding me that some countries are really tied to the land and sea.”

Reinhardt will present his photojournal of the trip in a faculty forum at noon on March 3 in Schwitzer Student Center 004.

Mid-term mayhem: reducing stress and maintaining sanity

By Ashley Williams STAFF WRITER

Many students may find themselves wondering how they plan on cramming two months of knowledge into their already overcrowded craniums for mid-term exams. Tips on reducing stress and preparing for tests may help students survive the dreaded week.

The University of Indianapolis health services Web site gives students information on how to identify stress, including physical, behavioral and cognitive symptoms.

Physically, students may experience a change in breathing, heart rate and perspiration. Other symptoms include headaches, backaches, muscle tension, dry mouth and tightening in the chest.

Classmates, friends and professors may notice a change in behavior as well. A stressed student could be irritable, sensitive, emotional and absentminded.

Students facing cognitive symptoms could have a hard time concentrating, experience negative thoughts and be easily distracted.

Preparing for mid-terms can cause many students to experience a number of these symptoms.

Dr. Tammie Dones, a counselor in the health center, said that, in order to help relieve this stress, students should maintain good self-care. This includes eating a healthy meal, getting exercise and getting plenty of sleep the night before an exam. Always plan ahead to make sure you have time to include other activities, not just studying, into

your day.

“Of course, planning ahead to where you’re not stuck with a stretch of studying that’s hours long is helpful,” Dones said.

Once self-care is established, students can tackle their academic requirements, but only after focusing, prioritizing and keeping in mind that this test or that grade is DONES not the most important thing in life.

“It doesn’t help your stress when you think something is just absolutely life or death,” Dones said.

A lot of students like to prepare for exams in their own, personalized way.

Freshman Jessica Taskey reviews her notes. She also likes to create her own study guide derived from the one given to her by professors.

To relax, Taskey will take a half-anhour to an hour break and talk to her friends or grab lunch or dinner. Like many students, Taskey will also get on her laptop to surf the Web during a break.

Some students may even start preparing a week in advance. Getting an early start allows junior Sarah McClar y to study little by little, especially when she has a lot to do.

McClary said she watches “Food Network” and “Family Guy” to help relax during preparation.

Junior Gregory Green, who studies

20 hours a week for organic chemistry, said he likes to relax by going to the gym and getting a nice core workout.

D uring his excessive study hours, Gregory turns off his television and leaves the ‘XBOX’ on the shelf so he can focus. Students who live in Warren Hall may even find him playing ping pong in the lobby to let loose.

Starting a week in advance, reviewing notes and studying more than 15 hours a week are effective methods of preparing for exams.

Relaxation tactics, such as taking a long break, talking to friends, getting on the Web, playing a game of ping pong or exercising could help during this week as well.

ThirstIndy Deliverance Project raised over $10,000 for the water crisis through a benefit concert with speaker Seth Maxwell and special performer Drake Bell.

Seth’s story

CEO of the Thirst Project, Seth Maxwell gives speech on how the youth will change the world. ThirstIndy was held in Ruth Lilly Performance Hall on Feb. 20 at 7p.m.

A life-changing weekend inspired Indianapolis native Seth Maxwell to start an organization that has given clean water to over 34,000 people.

This weekend started with him seeing pictures and hearing stories of a friend who had just returned from Africa.The next day, he saw a screening of “Behind the Gates,” which was about the 1994 genocides in Rwanda. Then the following day his church declared that they were going to be getting involved in the water crisis.

“Pretty much in that three day period, my world view was being shattered,” Maxwell said.

From that point, he started learning more about the water crisis and started talking to his friends. They decided to buy 1,000 bottles of water and walk along Hollywood Boulevard offering water to passersby in exchange for a moment to talk to them and enlighten them on the global water crisis.

“By the end of the day we had raised awareness to 1,000 people and then everybody gave back for the bottle of water that they took so we were able to turn 70 bucks into 1,700 bucks and rehabilitate a broken down fresh water well,” Maxwell said.

After that, Maxwell started getting phone calls from people asking him to bring his organization to their church or school.

“I thought, ‘my organization? We’re eight college kids,’” Maxwell said.

Nonetheless, they decided to give it a shot and in the first month raised over $9,000.

“So The Thirst Project was really born out of a bunch of 19-20 somethings just really reaching out to people we knew, people our age and seeing what we could collectively do to make an impact.”

Bringing it to UIndy

Senior event coordinator Ryan Brock has a ritual of meeting with friends each Monday at Greenwood’s Strange Brew coffee house. It was there that he met Seth Maxwell through a mutual friend. Brock has been involved on campus in many ways and, after hearing Maxwell’s story, he knew that he wanted to hold an event for The Thirst Project at UIndy.

“I saw this as my opportunity. I’m gonna make this big thing happen,” Brock said.

The event was held on Feb. 20 at 7 p.m. in Christel Dehaan Fine Arts Center’s Ruth Lilly Performance Hall. Performers included UIndy band, The Sages, the Ty Caldwell Trio and Drake Bell.

Brock started planning the event in October. A table was set up to accept donations and increase ThirstIndy awareness the week of the event. Brock was pleased with the turnout on Feb. 20 that raised over their goal, a total of $10,088.45. It was enough to provide 500-800 people with clean water for the rest of their lives.

“I am so overwhelmed by what we did together at ThirstIndy,” Brock said. “Seth brought us a message that he clearly is so passionate about, and I know that I, for one, caught that fire. I think that people realized that when we start listening to the cries of those near and far, we truly can make a difference in this world. That’s exactly what we did together; we saved hundreds of lives. This is huge.”

Concerts with cause

The night started out with an introduction and Seth Maxwell giving his first speech. Maxwell continued to speak in between bands, his speeches getting more powerful each time.

The first band to perform was a band comprised of UIndy students,The Sages.

They kept the crowd engaged with their high-energy performance and rock ‘n’ roll sound.

The next band was a local band, the Ty Caldwell Trio. Their music had a sort of folksy sound that you could not help but clap along with.

The last performance was by Nickelodeon star and singer, Drake Bell. He had the shortest performance, but was the performer to have the crowd most excited. He also stuck around long after his performance to sign autographs and meet his fans. This was the first Thirst Project event Bell had ever performed for, and he credits it all to Maxwell.

“His passion gave me inspiration to really make me want to be a part of this,” Bell said.

According to Bell, he was excited to perform for the cause at UIndy.

“One-sixth of our planet lives without access to clean water.That’s insanity,”Bell said. “The fact that it’s not big news or all over the front page is mind blowing.”

Senior Ryan Brock added $350 to the amount UIndy already raised by auctioning Drake Bell off for a brunch.

intriguing.The movie revolves around U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels (DiCaprio) as he tries to solve the mystery of a mentally ill patient who somehow vanished out of her room; or so it seems. Going into the movie, I believed it was going to be scary with murders, mentally ill patients and secrets that Daniels is not allowed to leave the island with. However, it was not scary at all, but psychologically intense and demanding. Viewers will find themselves debating throughout the movie about who is sane and who is crazy along with who is lying and who is telling the truth.

However, with DiCaprio’s acting one never doubts the truth of his character.

The acting and visuals of “Shutter Island” make it a great movie to go see, but be ready for some artistic and confusing scenes that require mental concentration and thought.

impressive considering he is a multiinstrumentalist, singer, songwriter and producer, “Of Men and Angels” didn’t project itself as well as it should have.

Avary’s unique voice booms loudly on every track, as did previous records, while instead he should have gone for something a little different and tried to step outside of the box. Perhaps the most terrifying track was “Japanese Exchange Student” with lyrics like, “I love the Japanese, those from Japan and overseas.” It was hard to listen to the entire track. The only songs worth listening to were “Of Men and Angels” for the beautifully played piano introduction and “Roses” because Avary changes his style. Overall, the CD could have pushed the envelope and delivered a bigger impact.

My taste buds are getting excited as I reveal to you that Long’s Bakery is the No. 1 donut shop. Yes, the secret is out.

This little bakery is filled with scrumptious donuts ready to be consumed, and by all means deserve it. My favorite is the yeast donuts. Those delectable treats will cause you to say no to anyone asking for a bite. Other donuts on the menu include cake, cinnamon and strawberry. You will be amazed at the selection. The bakery offers them at an affordable price as well. Long’s Bakery also offers cakes and other goodies. The only downfall is they only accept cash, so don’t stroll in the bakery with your debit card, you will be disappointed.

Now that you know where the legendary donuts reside, get up and go buy a dozen. Don’t be ashamed to eat the whole box. Hey, we all deserve a treat once in a while.

with a vest that has lighted electronic sensory target marks. The war begins.

Cohorts are formed, alliances are made and what is reminiscent of “Star Wars” ensues. You shoot laser beams with an aim to score battle points, outdo your opponents and live your sci-fi fantasy.

You hit or get hit. When you are hit, your vest vibrates; however, the code of laser-tag ethics forbids merciless assault, so you have time to seek refuge. These battles sometimes involve 40-persons, and three games can be played in an hour. On Thursday nights, X-site has their college nights; and with $10 and your student ID, you might as well become the “Duchess of Mandalore.” Located near the Castleton Mall, X-site offers a variety of fun games: $18 for three hours of surrealism.

Jackson. The new version is not all that grand, however that’s a whole other opinion piece. Anyway, snowboarding is always exciting; this year snowboarder Shaun White won one gold medal. He continues pushing the boundaries of airborne tricks as he pulled out his Double McTwist 1260 -two board-over-head flips inside of three and a half turns. Two days after the death of her mother, figure skater Joannie Rochette glided exceptionally well across the ice Feb. 24. In his third Olympics, speed skater Apolo Ohno took home two bronze and one silver medal. The United States obtained a total of 37 medals, the most of any country who participated. In each category the U.S. received nine gold, 15 silver and 13 bronze. I don’t want to be biased but as an American citizen, I can’t help it. America always dominates: GO U.S.A.

Lost The show follows the survivors of Flight 815, which crash landed on a mysterious island. Although watching a show that takes place on beautiful island to an audience attempting to forget they aren’t in Florida or Cancun doesn’t sound alluring, the perplexing mysteries and plot twists are so enticing you will hardly notice the tropical scenery.

The Wire The fast-paced police drama, “The Wire” portrays the realistic and grueling struggle of modern law enforcement against senseless bureaucracy and hardened criminals.

Battlestar Galactica The show is a gritty remake of the cheesy 1970s original, where 50,000 survivors of a nuclear holocaust must evade the relentless pursuit of their robotic attackers.

Spring Break 2010

THE REFLECTOR

Road trips

As a college student, your pocketbook might be a little too tight to take a trip down south to warmer climates. However, attractions in the area will give you something to do for the week and won’t put pressure on your wallet.

Chicago,Illinois Spring Break is quickly approaching and, if you have yet to make plans, Chicago is a great destination that is affordable, yet still feels like a complete get-away.

According to mapquest.com, Chicago is 190 miles from campus. A seat on the Megabus for March 7 can be purchased for $29. It’s definitely practical for your budget so hop on the Mega or get your road trip CD ready and take a drive with your friends to Chicago.

The city is very enticing for college students due to the shopping, culture and food offered. Take a walk through the bustling city and you’re bound to find something to do, but to make it easy, here is a list of attractions.

1. Navy Pier: Navy Pier is placed right on the edge of Lake Michigan and includes fireworks, rides, attractions, boats and cruises. On the Web site, www. navypier.com, there is attraction information and a schedule of upcoming events. The Navy Pier Ferris Wheel is a must visit for anyone touring Chicago, and there is also The Chicago Children’s Museum, located on the dock. The Children’s Museum is fun for people of all ages and, during this time of year, includes an inside arena with snow forts, snow ball fights and an ice skating rink.

Tribune. Some of the high-fashion shops on the Mile include Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Armani and Tiffany & Co. 3. Millennium Park: Millennium Park is located in the heart of downtown Chicago and is bordered by Michigan Avenue, Columbus Drive, Randolph Street and Monroe Street. It is an award-winning center for art, music, architecture and landscape design. The 24.5-acre park is open daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., and admission is free. The highlights of Millennium Park are the “Cloud Gate” and the interactive “Crown Fountain.” The “Crown Fountain” consists of two fifty-foot glass block towers at each end of a shallow reflecting pool. Each tower projects video images of Chicago citizens with water spouts placed so that fountains appear to shoot out of the citizen’s mouths. “Cloud Gate” is known less formally as “the bean” and is exactly what it sounds like: a huge, metallic structure in the shape of a bean. This is a favorite photo opportunity location when visiting Chicago. The 110-ton structure reflects the cities skyline and clouds, and is 66-feet long by 33-feet high. Both structures are definite must-sees.

2. The “Magnificent Mile:” The “Magnificent Mile” is the stretch of high-end fashion shops strung along North Michigan Avenue. The Mile is currently home to Chicago’s largest shopping district and is also occupied by museums, restaurants and hotels. Even if you don’t have the money to spend, the Mile is worth windowshopping. It also contains impressive architecture such as the Wrigley Building and the John Hancock Center. It is also the sight of major media firms such as The Chicago

4. Willis (Sears) Tower: Go up to the top of the 108-story tower and get a birds-eye view of downtown Chicago. Formally known as the Sears Tower, the Willis Tower is the tallest building in the United States and the fifth tallest freestanding structure in the world. On windy days you can experience how the building sways.

Those are just some of the big attractions, but Chicago is a city full of adventures. Take some of our suggestions or go explore it for yourself. Indulge in the nightlife, enjoy the beautiful skyline and make sure to take advantage of the amazing pizzerias that are scattered throughout the entire town. Chicago is known as “the windy city” though, so be sure to bundle up or take someone special to snuggle with.

Edinburgh Outlets Being a college student seems to put holes in one’s pocket. Students appreciate the values of being thrifty or economical. However, who doesn’t love to indulge in some shopping every now and then?

Looking nice is important at this time in our lives because we are establishing our careers and ourselves for ladies especially, but gentleman, too. Spring Break is the time to pamper yourself.

Those tax checks came just in time; head to Edinburgh to visit the Edinburgh

Premium Outlets.

Edinburgh is about a 35 minute drive from campus and the outlets are located at 11622 Northeast Executive Drive. It’s a straight shot, so no navigational system is required. Upon arrival the scenery is picturesque; the outlet is like its own little palace. Various stores include Aeropostalè, Nike Factory Store, Charlotte Russe and Coach Outlet.

An outlet is a place that has the same products as the original store just at a cheaper price; the quantity is more beneficial, and the quality is still tremendous.

The deals are unbelievable; one customer revealed she only spent $20 and with that brought two new pairs of jeans and a shirt. One pair of jeans even cost $5.

A student is perfectly fine with bringing a week’s wages and walking out with a month’s supply of clothes, if spent wisely.

Whatever one desires is available, within reason of course. Shoes, accessories, jewelry, housewares and sportswear can all be found at the outlet mall. The shops are all in one location – no gas is wasted; walk around and get some exercise.

In addition, the Edinburgh Premium Outlet Mall has plenty of restaurants such as McDonalds, Arby’s, Cracker Barrel and Taco Bell among others. They are all readily available for all those exhausted from shopping.

At the outlet mall a student can literally shop and still have leftover money to splurge on a movie because the prices are so affordable. Start saving those dollars and head down to Edinburgh; spending money never felt more satisfying.

Whatever one desires is available, with in reason, of course.

Nestled among the limestone quarries famous to this state, Bloomington is a strange and wonderful blend of culture. Home to Indiana University (IU), Bloomington is located 45 miles south of Indianapolis and offers a wide variety of experiences to those who seek them.

For students desiring the mischievous exploits promised to us by movies like “National Lampoon’s Animal House,” Bloomington is unrivaled. It may be surprising to learn that despite IU’s reputation as a party school, there is more to Bloomington than just painting the town red! Bloomington is peppered with an assortment of independent stores and restaurants, giving students in rural Indiana opportunities for shopping and cuisine most would be hard pressed to find in Indianapolis.

Virtually any kind of foreign food can be found and for prices that can rival fast-food chains. “Samira’s” is an Afghan restaurant whose vegetables would make even the most out-spoken carnivore rethink his dietary stance. Who knew carrots and eggplants could be spicy?

Curry sauce permeates everything at the “Siam House.” Your mouth will water, your forehead will sweat and you’ll love every minute of it.

According to their Web site, IU produces over 1,000 musical performances, operas, ballets and theater productions a year. Several artists frequent IU’s campus, including notable actors like Robin Williams and James Earl Jones, as well as musicians ranging from the Four Tops to Lupe Fiasco.

More prominent events will require paying more for a ticket, but most events are priced with students in mind.

IU recently completed its 26th annual Arts Week celebration with this year’s theme focusing on arts and the environment. Exhibits include dance routines, dramatic performances as well as photo and sculpture galleries. The celebration, which started off as a weekend festival in 1984, is now an 11-day event. Coupled with the several permanent art museums and exhibits, IU is an ideal place to stimulate the art lover in you.

For those of us who enjoy the small campus comforts of UIndy, Bloomington may be off-putting.

However, be adventurous and take a small trip down Indiana State Road 37 and see what Bloomington can offer.

Brown County, Indiana

By Elizabeth Wheeler and Heather Nguyen Distribution Manager & Staff Writer

Hills O’ Brown, or more commonly known as Brown County, is located in Nashville, Ind. With family owned businesses, historic sights and over 176,900 acres of forested area occupying the county, this spring break destination gives you a variety of affordable activities.

Historically, Brown County has roots going back to the 1800s.

The Brown County Historical Society moved an 1879 jail, a log cabin, a barn and an 1850s Black Smith’s shop safely to downtown Nashville. Tourists and natives alike can tour and experience life in the 1880s.

Off of Highway 46 is Brown County State Park; Indiana’s largest state park. Open to the public since 1920, this park covers over 15,700 acres and has well marked trails for hikers, bikers and horseback riders to enjoy the hills and forestry that make up the beautiful scenery.

There is also 20 miles of paved road for scenic car trips during the colder parts of the year. With year-round campgrounds and lodges available, this place offers lodging and activities at an affordable price.

Music even has a home in Brown County. Bill Monroe’s Bluegrass Hall of Fame and Country Star Museum offers history and legendary information about blue grass with just a $4 general admission charge.

Another music hub is Weed Patch Music Company, a small business right by the courthouse in downtown Nashville. The owners, Kara Barnard and Luthier Jeff Russell repair, make and sell instruments. Music lessons are offered, competitions are sponsored and chairs are pulled up just to chat about music in this small town music store.

Brown County has unique shops that are open all year round.

“Like For Bare Feet” and “For Bare Feet, Too” offer a fun afternoon of creating your own socks for a personal touch and custom fit.

“Not Just Popcorn” is another one of a kind shop in Brown County. Having opened in 1989, this nationally recognized business is known for making over 240 flavors of popcorn.

A spring break without pictures is something unheard of, and at Nashville Image Photography and Weddings they dress you up. This Brown County shop has hundreds of costumes and accessories for all sizes to make the best old fashioned portraits. Whether it be a fun hillbilly or cowboy photo or a serious 1940s style portrait, Nashville Image Photography and Weddings is ready for the shoot.

Brown County has something for a shopper, a diner and an adventurer. All you have to do is go south on Interstate 65 for an hour until you hit the picture like forests and mountains and your spring break will begin.

With family owned businesses, historic sights and over 176,900 acres of forested area occupying the county, this spring break destination gives you a variety of affordable activities.

Spring Term courses incorporate film into curriculum

By Dan Dick OPINION EDITOR Spring Term courses at the University of Indianapolis will begin March 3 and continue through March 21.

The pervading theme this year appears to be film. Seven classes have ‘film’ or ‘movie’ in their titles, and still more will utilize films throughout the course.

“Spring Term is a unique opportunity for students and professors,” said Associate Professor James Fuller, who teaches civil war in film. “The format allows me to teach a film course. The regular schedule makes showing films very difficult. I chose to teach this class because it brings together my passions for history with my love of movies.”

Other professors concur with Fuller’s view.

“I have had a personal and professional interest in film for as long as I can remember,” said professor Gregory Clapper, whose work in film inspired him to teach Hollywood Narrative F ilms. “ I am a philosopher and theologian at heart, so using films like ‘Groundhog Day’ to invite people to think about breaking out of our selfcentered routines and find meaning in life, or showing “Amadeus” and “Treasure of the Sierra Madre” to illustrate the corrosive power of envy and greed, respectively, makes for potentially lifechanging viewing.”

Assistant professor Christine Bentley

was inspired by the TBS television series “Dinner and a Movie” to create her Spring Term course Lunch and a Movie.

“The course combines food and film in such a way as to offer a multi-sensory, interactive, c u l t u r a l experience,” Bentle y said.

“Students have an opportunity to watch international films from nine different countries: Egypt, England, India, Germany, Greece, France, Turkey, Japan, and Italy. After viewing each film, we go off campus to discuss the content of the film at a restaurant that serves each country’s native cuisine.”

Associate Professor Stephen Maple will be teaching WWII: Film, Fact,

The legislators will discuss whatever the students wish to talk about. The only topic they have been asked not to discuss is their campaigns, since this event is not a political rally and the main purpose is to inform and involve students.

“Really, it ’s up to the students.

It depends on what they ask their legislators,” said Lyster.

Contact Jackson (chljackson@uindy. edu) or Lyster (lystera@uindy.edu) for tickets.

“I have had a personal and professional interest in film for as long as I can remember.”

Fiction. His class will be viewing such popular films as “Schindler’s List” and the U.S. government-commissioned “Why We Fight” series of propaganda films.

“World War II was one of the epic changes in our history and should be better known. It seemed like a good fit and should interest our students,” Maple said.

Students are warned not to underestimate the serious nature of these classes.

“Some seem surprised that I actually assign a book in the class. I think some expect a Spring Term class to be one where merely showing up gets them an A,” said Assistant Professor Chad Martin, who teaches Pop Culture in the Cold War. Students can check the enrollment status of all Spring Term classes by accessing their My UIndy account and proceeding to the Self –Service banner.

LEGISLATOR from Page 1 UIndy College Democrats also want to use this event to get their name out there and get more members.

“We think we have a great organization, and we think it’d be better if we get more active members,” Lyster said.

Rescuers search for Chile quake survivors, death toll rises

By Chris Kraul LOS ANGELES TIMES

coastal residents from the ensuing tsunami. Authorities lifted tsunami warnings Sunday after smaller-thanfeared waves washed shores from Southern California to Hawaii and Japan.

Looting broke out Sunday in some of the most heavily damaged areas of Chile, where residents were without water or electricity. Crowds overran supermarkets in the port city of Concepcion, which sustained widespread damage, and were making off with food, water and diapers but also television sets. Several banks also were hit. Police in armored vehicles sprayed looters with water cannons and made several arrests, mostly of young men.

“The people are desperate and say the only way is to come get stuff for themselves,” Concepcion resident

Patricio Martinez told reporters. “We have money to buy it, but the big stores are closed, so what are we supposed to do” Bachelet, following an emergency meeting with her cabinet Sunday, announced she would send army troops into the Concepcion area, about 70 miles south of the quake’s offshore epicenter, to restore order and assist in recovering bodies and searching for survivors. She previously declared swaths of the country “catastrophe zones” and Sunday issued an emergency decree for the area that will be in force for 30 days.

State television reported 350 people were killed in the coastal town of Constitucion, near the epicenter.

With images of Haiti’s devastation from an earthquake last month still fresh, the world woke up to a

new disaster and fears of another catastrophic toll. But the Chile quake’s epicenter was relatively deep, at 21.7 miles, and building codes are strict in a country that 50 years ago was struck by the biggest earthquake ever recorded: a magnitude 9.5.

Nonetheless, Bachelet said in an address to the nation Saturday night that a million buildings had been damaged. And with television stations showing topsy-turvy structures, severed bridges and highways whose pavement looked as if it had been tilled by some giant farm machine, the death toll was expected to rise.

The U.S. moved briskly to offer assistance to Chile.

WIRE OR HEALTHY FITNESS STORY

BOGOTA, Chile (MCT) _ Rescuers searched for survivors Sunday, a day after one of the biggest earthquakes in recorded history rocked Chile, killing more than 700 people while leaving untold numbers missing and 2 million displaced, wounded or otherwise affected.

The death toll jumped Sunday to 708, Chilean President Michelle Bachelet said, nearly doubling as rescue crews reached remote and badly damaged towns.

Students win national APTA award

By Konye Ori STAFF WRITER University of Indianapolis seniors Joy Resetar and Marissa Schaeuble won the 2010 Myelin Melter award for their neurology research abstract, titled “Comparison of gait characteristics in persons with chronic stroke classified as limited and full community ambulators.”

Schaeuble and Resetar were the first students from UIndy to land the coveted American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) honor.

“We have been working on this project for the past two years,” Resetar said.

“This national RESETAR recognition is a huge honor for us.”

With only three awards given out each year by APTA, Schaeuble and Resetar received the honor of ‘Best Combined Sections Meeting Abstract by an Entry-Level Student ’ in the association’s neurology section.

The seniors received their awards on Feb. 19, in San Diego at the APTA annual Combined Sections Meeting.

Over 8,000 physical therapy p e r s o n n e l f ro m around the country were present at SCHAEUBLE the meeting, including UIndy PT faculty and staff.

“Our professors have been supportive and involved; we are like a tightly knitted family,” Resetar said.

According to Schaeuble, winning this award would enhance their potentials in the field of research, if they chose to continue on this path.

Schaeuble and Resetar will present their research subject before faculty and staff on April 27.

Men’s team captures GLVC crown while women earn runner-up finish

By Micah McVicker SPORTS EDITOR

Indianapolis’men’s and women’s track and field teams traveled to WisconsinParkside for the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Indoor meet Feb. 26-27.

Indianapolis’ men’s team won conference for the first time in ten years, defeating last year’s champion Missouri S&T by four points.

“To the team, it’s been a long time since we’ve won one. It’s like, ‘We finally got one.’Some of the seniors haven’t seen one so they’re happy to get it,” said junior Kevin Keene.

Head coach Scott Fangman looked at it differently.

“It’s one of the things we try to get accomplished; it’s important to us,” Fangman said. “The challenge to win the indoor because we don’t have an indoor

facility. It means we have to overcome a lot of barriers. That’s the fun part.”

Junior thrower Matt Royer earned the win in the weight throw, tossing it 62’ 5”. He also earned a third-place finish in the shot put, throwing it 49’ 8 1/2”.

Senior sprinter Frederick Helm won Male Athlete of the Year award.

Helm won two events, setting a school-record time of 6.36 seconds in the 55-meter dash and the 200-meter dash in 22.27 seconds.

Terrell Franklin, who earned the Freshman of KEENE the Year award, led the ‘Hounds in points, posting four top-five efforts, including a victory in the long jump with a distance of 23’ 5 1/2.”

Fangman explained.

“He’s a redshirt freshman. It’s not a freshman award. It’s called a newcomer award. We get so many of the kids that do come in and we redshirt them the first year. [Terrell’s] was a real redshirt, meaning he had an injury. His was really serious.”

Keene, who placed third in the heptathlon, was also coming off a medical redshirt, as he fractured his back in the same event a year ago.

Keene redshirted during the 2009 outdoor season.

This championship is significant, as UIndy exacted a bit of revenge on Missouri S&T. “This team, we beat them by four points this year. They beat us by one point outdoor last year. When you get beat by such a small margin, you hate that,”Fangman said.“Made our guys work harder. Guys either work hard or roll over. And we never did (roll over). We’re going to go after it.”

On the women’s side, Indianapolis earned the runner-up position.

If the women’s team had captured the GLVC title too, that would have been special.

“That would have been real big.

That means we’d really have overcome a lot,” Fangman said.

Keene agreed with Fangman.

“That would have been something incredible. It would have just been something that we would be on a high because the entire team would be celebrating with each other.”

The women placed second, no small accomplishment. Fangman acknowledged this.

“The women did very well also.

I got a bunch of good ladies across the board who did very well. For instance, we have three girls [sophomore Shanese McGregor earned

forth, senior Shannon Smith placed sixth and freshman Deltarae martin finished eighth] that placed [in the 55-meter dash].

“We’ve got five girls that placed in the 200-meter dash,” Fangman said. ”We need to work on getting a little more balanced.”

UIndy women placed second and third in the shot put. Freshman Katy Watson and senior Courtney FANGMAN Kuzmicz took second and third, respectively.

With the win, Fangman earned Coach of the Year, an honor which he bluntly attributed to his team.

“Nothing,” he said with a laugh.

“That coach of the year thing is given to the coach whose team has won. We hand off the award to the No. 1 team.

I owe it to the kids. It was truly a total team effort.”

Keene summed up the hours put in to win the the meet.

“I’m hurting” he said. “However, it’s sweet.”

The University of Indianapolis’ men’s tennis team swept Franklin College Feb. 27, posting a 9-0 victory.

The men’s tennis team’s perfect start to the spring season ended Feb. 19 with a 9-0 loss to Wayne State University, thus bringing their cumulative record to 5-3.

UIndy’s tennis teams started off the spring season with two wins against a team recently added to the conference, Illinois-Springfield. The final score was men’s 6-3 and women 7-2. On Feb. 14, the Greyhounds men’s team shut out Rose-Hulman with a 9-0 victory.

“The momentum is big. Confidence is a big factor in carrying us into tougher matches,” Head Coach John Venter said.

The Greyhounds are a young team this year, comprised mostly of freshmen and sophomores.

Four men, Werner Henning, Jeff Price, Alex Poe and David BRODA Schoch, have accumulated an unbeaten record this year,.

The Greyhounds will be traveling to Orlando during the week of spring break to play Minnesota State, Eckerd, Michigan State, Mesa State and Grand Valley State.

“These are all Division II matches chosen to get us ready for conference competition and to improve our Division II winning percentage as well as our regional ranking,” Venter said.

The competition for NCAA tournament berths are tight. Currently UIndy ranks tenth in the region; eight are chosen for the tournament.

Since doubles is more teamwork oriented, it takes effort on both parts.

“We could improve on how we work

However, after suffering a sweep at the hands of Columbus State Feb. 20-21, UIndy fell to No. 28.

Tritons trounced

Lady ‘Hounds win easily in their first postseason contest

By Kellie Donnelly STAFF WRITER

The baseball team practices at Key Stadium, the Greyhounds’ have endured some struggles early in the season, suffering a six-game losing streak.

With a dominant performance, the third-ranked University of Indianapolis women’s basketball team began their postseason with a 94-66 win over University of Missouri-Saint Louis. UIndy built a 49-31 lead at half using twelve Triton turnovers and 53% shooting.

Indianapolis maintained their touch from the field to outscore UMSL 45-33 in the second half, finishing the game shooting a little under 60% to cruise to the quarterfinal round of the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) tournament.

Junior forward Samantha Meissel led all scorers with 22 points.

To conclude the regular season, Indianapolis recorded an 80-69 win over GLVC foe Northern Kentucky Feb. 20.

The victory ended their regular season with a 25-2 overall (16-2 GLVC).

After the conference tournament comes the NCAA tournament, with the ultimate goal of a national championship.

The women’s basketball team maintains

high expectations for both.

“The regular season prepared us for post-season because it taught us how good we are and it also gave us confidence,” senior guard Katie Dewey said.

The ‘Hounds were undefeated until back-to-back losses to Southern Indiana and Bellarmine late in the season.

Despite this setback, the team sees it as an opportunity to learn.

“We know we aren’t perfect; we made mistakes and we paid for them.

The question is how will we bounce back,” Meissel, the GLVC Player of the Year, said.

Head Coach LeAnn Freeland agreed that the losses taught them to not let their guard down for any team.

“This was the toughest regular season conference schedule I have ever had to endure as a player or a coach. Every night, the opponent gave us their best shot,” Freeland said.

Now the regular season is over and the slate is wiped clean.

“The postseason is essentially a new beginning when every team starts over at 0-0. We must be ready to play every night,” Freeland said. “It doesn’t matter what the score was during the season because now every team is playing to keep their season alive.”

Dewey recognized the difficulty of

beating teams twice and emphasized the need for the team to focus even more now. In addition, the ‘Hounds may face Southern Indiana and Bellarmine again, two teams that prevented their perfect season.

“I wouldn’t mind seeing either of them in the conference tourney,” Meissel said.

Hosting the first round of the conference tournament is a big advantage for teams; something the women’s basketball team has earned. If the GLVC tournament goes as planned, they could also host the NCAA regional games.

Dewey and Meissel agreed that it is significant to have a home crowd in the postseason and hope the school comes out to support the team.

“Students, teachers and other coaches that have been at our games really help us out. We tend to bring more energy to the floor when we are at home,” Meissel said.

Looking at the upcoming postseason, Freeland maintains a level head.

“We do not set goals of wins or losses.

I ask our ladies to focus on the little things we can do to have the edge on our opponents,”Freeland said. “When our team maintains this focus, the wins take care of themselves.”

Indianapolis will play WisconsinParkside March 6th at one o’clock in Springfield, Ill.

said Athletic Director Dr. Sue Willey.

“Where Central Hall is was where the softball field was at one time.”

A softball field is considered easier to move than a baseball field due to size, but the university was unable to construct the new field in time for the season, which Willey had anticipated.

“We had hoped it was only going to be one year. We tried. Our plan was to have them back on campus this year, but there’s a lot of things that go into planning,” Willey said. “We’ve made the best of it and I’ve appreciated the softball coaches, their staff, the student athletes and their great attitudes.”

Currently, the team practices and plays home games at the Indiana Central Little League off Keystone Avenue, which can pose scheduling problems.

Thus far, due to the season’s early start, the Greyhounds’ home games can take place without interfering the league’s games.

Most of the Greyhound softball players do not consider the commute much of a hassle, though they are looking forward to getting MARTINEZ back on campus.

“It will be very nice to be able to walk to the diamond, “said freshman Nikki Wilson.“I’m really excited and I think that it will bring hype to the team and more fans will be able to come to the games.”

Senior utility player Carmen Marti-

nez echoed Wilson’s opinions.

“I think the new field next year will be an awesome place to call ‘home’ for the future softball teams,” Martinez said. “I couldn’t be more excited to see the end results.”

Holding practices off-campus has not seemed to affect the team’s season record.

“I worried last year because we made that move and they were off campus,” Willey said. “But they had the most success they’ve had.That, of course, isn’t due to being off-campus, but they don’t seem to be negatively affected by it either.”

Wilson explained the team’s attitude regarding the location of current practices and home games.

“A field is a field, and as long as we have regulations, we can make it work,” Wilson said.

Building East Hall on the site of the old softball field saved the university the money it would have cost to put the field somewhere else. Subsequently, the new softball field will be constructed using university funds set aside for the project.

“You can’t say that you’re going to move your softball field and then not have funds to build a new one,” Willey said.

Parking poses a potential problem.

According to Willey, the new softball field and Student Athletic and Recreation dome will eliminate approximately 150 parking spaces.

However, construction is expected to commence without problems.

“The women deserve a nice facility,” Willey said. “They had a nice facility before, but every time we’ve moved the field, we’ve made it a little bit better.”

New diamond construction to begin

New diamond construction to commence in spring

By Sarah Haefner NEWS EDITOR

The softball team can expect to be playing on a new field next spring, as construction will begin as soon as the snow subsides and is expected to be completed by next fall.

Due to the construction of East Hall, the softball field will be moved to the

northeast corner of the practice football field or soccer area, with National Avenue on the north and State Street to the east. This would not the first time the field was relocated.

“It’s interesting because, having been a long-time softball coach, I know we’ve moved our field probably three times,”

Conference meet nets fourth Men’s and women’s swimming each net top five finishes in the GLIAC meet

By Mia Dandino STAFF WRITER One last opportunity, at the Midwest Invitational at the University of Chicago, awaited swimmers looking to earn a berth in nationals. Two swimmers took advantage.

Junior Alican Alacli earned a berth as he cut more than 14 seconds off his time in the 1650 freestyle, earning his NCAA A-cut with a 15:57.86 time.

Additionally, the women’s 400 relay qualified. Sophomore Vicki Galiamoutsa, senior Erica Smith, freshmanMaura Donahue and sophomoreMeghan Donahue shaved almost four seconds off their best time and finishing in 3:29.33.

The A-standard allows GaliamoutKINKEAD sa to accompany 10 other Greyhound swimmers to the DII meet in two weeks in Canton, Ohio.

Upon entering the GLIAC (Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference) meet, held at Wayne State University, head coach Gary Kinkead had one goal for his swimmers. “[I want them to] achieve lifetime or season best times,” he said.

The team met Coach Kinkead’s expectations.

“We anticipated placing fourth in the conference. I’m proud of the outcome of both teams,” Kinkead said.

According to GLIAC.org, Maura Donahue, won “Female Freshman Swimmer of the Year.” Feb. 13, Donahue won the 100-yard free in an NCAA A-cut time of 51:82.

“For conference I just wanted to swim fast and help the team out. I didn’t set any specific time goals because I knew that I still had nationals ahead of me. For the most part, I met my expectations; in my 100 and 500 I went faster than what I thought,” Donahue said.

Her sister, sophomore Meghan Donahue, placed second in the 200-yard backstroke also with an NCAA A-cut time of 2:04.13 on Feb. 13.

Senior Erica Smith placed second in the 200-yard fly with an A-standard time of 2:05.65.

“Our team expectations were to achieve fast times. We have been training harder this year than we have any other previous years,” Smith said.

On Feb. 12 Smith took first in the 100-yard fly with a 55.81, an A-cut time.

The women’s 800-yard-relay team placed 2nd with an NCAA-championship quality time of 7:40.32.

“The women’s team did an outstanding job in the 800-yard relay. ,” Kinkead said.

On Feb. 11, Maura Donahue took second place in the 500 free with an automatic national-qualifying time of 5:01.85.

Smith finished second in the 200-yard individual medley with an A-cut time of 2:07.06.The women’s relay team wrapped up the day with a fourth place finish in the 200-yard free with a time of 1:36.73.

The men’s team excelled as well. On Feb. 13, freshman Andrew Loshnowsky received a B-cut time of 46.46 in the 100yd free, placing third. Sophomore Guy Kogel won the 200yd fly with an A-standard time of 1:49.32.

“I was hoping to improve my records at the conference meet and I achieved my goals,” Kogel said. The men’s relay team finished second.

Feb. 12, sophomore Austin Bietnes, took fourth place in the 400-yard individual medley with a B-cut time of 4:10.66. On Feb. 10, the men swam well in the 200-yard medley relay. With a time of 1:34.71, they took third and made the A-cut.

One objective remains.

“Our next goal is to go to nationals and do the best we can,” Kinkead said.
