Former two-term Democratic Mayor of Indianapolis Bart Peterson has joined the University of Indianapolis board of trustees. Peterson, along with four leading business executives, was named to the board of trustees on Feb. 11. Peterson served as mayor of Indianapolis for eight years starting in 2000.

Peterson cof ounded Mind Trust in 2006, which aims to attract, support and empower education entrepreneurs in Indianapolis, and is currently chair of its board of directors.

He also is a resident fellow at Harvard’s PETERSON Institute of Politics.

Peterson practiced law for several years in Indianapolis before becoming a staff member for then governor Evan Bayh, eventually becoming his chief of staff.

According to university President Beverley Pitts, Peterson was the first mayor to support charter schools.

“Mayor Peterson brings knowledge of our community and great experience in education,”Pitts said.“As the first mayor to authorize charter schools and the founder

he University of Indianapolis community painted Nicoson Hall pink on Feb. 19, as the Lady ‘Hounds participated in the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Pink Zone ™ initiative. The program aims to raise money for breast cancer research.

The event occurred during the team’s 77-68 win over Kentucky Wesleyan College. The UIndy Athletic Department and students enrolled in the Administration of Athletics course hosted the event.

“Last year, our game at Bellarmine [University] was designated as their Pink Zone game,” said LeAnn Freeland, women’s basketball head coach. “It was such an impressive event that our players asked if we could have our own event this season.”

Senior Associate Director of Athletics Lynn Griffin used a class project in her Administration of Athletics course to plan, promote and coordinate the event.

Junior Travis Ponto, who participated in the public relations aspect of the event, said he felt that many students could relate to the cause. “[Breast cancer awareness] is one cause that truly hits home for me,” Ponto said.

“Not only does it hit home for me, but it is safe to say that every student knows

Tuition free for veterans

By Staci Reafsnyder SPORTS EDITOR The University of Indianapolis announced on Feb. 10, that military veterans who attend the university are eligible for free tuition.

“The Freedom Award is a University of Indianapolis program,”said Director of Financial Aid Linda Handy.“We are offering full tuition for students who enrolled as full-time, day-division only students who are eligible for the Post 9/11 [Bill] and the Yellow Ribbon [Program].”

The Freedom Award Program guarantees that veterans who qualify for it, who were on active duty after Sept. 10, are eligible to receive tuition equal to the highest priced state university in the state where they reside, Mark Weigand, vice president of student affairs and enrollment management said.

“They can use that money at any institution in the state, but that’s the way

someone who has been affected by breast cancer in some way. Giving back just seems natural to me.”

To participate in the Pink Zone ™ initiative, the women’s basketball team, the UIndy cheerleaders and the dance team all wore special pink uniforms. Pink Zone ™ T-shirts were sold to the student body throughout the week prior to the game, and the entire Administration in Athletics class wore these shirts. Also, pink breast cancer awareness ribbons were passed out to members of the crowd. Several high school girls’ basketball teams attended the game, all wearing pink to help promote the cause.

Cheerleaders participated in a Jump-AThon, and Lady ‘Hounds collected money from sponsors for each three-pointer they made. As of The Reflector’s press time, the amount of funds raised at the event was not completely tallied. All money raised goes directly to breast cancer research.

“All the money we raised will go to the Susan B. Komen Fund, and 90 percent of that money will stay in the city,” Ponto said.

The WBCA started the Pink Zone ™ initiative in 2007 to help raise breast cancer awareness on campuses and in communities through women’s basketball.

According to the WBCA Web site (wbca. org), last year 1,200 teams participated in the program, reaching 830,000 fans and raising more than $930,000 for breast cancer research. This year was UIndy’s first time to participate in the Pink Zone ™ program at a home game.

“We have decided to make this a yearly event,” Freeland said. “It is our goal to raise breast cancer awareness in our UIndy community, and raise more money to help Susan B. Komen Indy in their cause to find a cure for breast cancer.”

MARCH 4, 2009

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Attention UIndy Students: Important announcement from the Financial Aid Office regarding a change in how the Financial Aid Office will be processing Federal Stafford loans starting with summer.

When you receive your award letter from the Financial Aid Office, we will have already approved your Federal Stafford loan. Unless we hear from you, we will assume that you want the loan amount that has been approved. If you do not want the loan, or you want a different amount, then you will need to contact the Financial Aid Office immediately. Also, we will process the loan using USA Funds as the guaranty agency. If you prefer to use a different guaranty agency (i.e. Great Lakes, TG), then you would need to let us know that as well. If you do not indicate that you are declining the Stafford loan, then we will submit it for guarantee.

If you have borrowed before, then you will not need to do anything else for your loan to guarantee. Once your loan has guaranteed, you will receive an e-mail from the Financial Aid Office confirming the amount, lender, and loan period. You will then at that time have another opportunity to cancel the loan if you want to do so.

If you are a new borrower, you will then be notified by e-mail to complete a Master Promissory Note with the lender of your choice. You can complete the Master Promissory Note online at http://financialaid.uindy.edu. You will then be given our preferred lender list and the option to choose one of these lenders, or you can opt to choose another lender if you do not want to use one of our preferred lenders. Once your Master Promissory Note is completed, your loan will guarantee and a confirmation will be e-mailed to you.

Please contact the Financial Aid Office at 788-3217 if you have questions.

Sandy Osborne Assistant Director, Financial Aid

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor: I’m writing in response to Jaclyn Luscomb’s Feb. 4 editorial, “When I grow up…”

First, I’d like to mention that I enjoyed the piece, probably because it echoes what I’ve been through over the past decade or so. I’m a University of Indianapolis (please don’t make me call it “UIndy”) graduate and former Reflector staff member. But before that, I was an aspiring high school journalist. My older brother, who I admired for some reason, was a high school journalist. I remember reading his old columns and music reviews and thinking to myself how empowering it must have been for him to broadcast his opinion across an entire high school. I’m very confrontational and am a closet drama addict, so I saw journalism as a chance to feed my desire to piss people off. I wanted to be an infamous celebrity; someone you loved to hate.

Long story short, I went through high school and college on the whole journalism track, and was pretty successful. I learned everything that I could from the great communication teachers at U of I, and began to appreciate print journalism as much more than a chance to antagonize my audience. I graduated with two majors (Comm and Political Science), had a “B” average through college, won several awards, became Editor-inChief of the Reflector, interned and freelanced at NUVO and eventually landed a job at an advertising company designing and editing. Now, of course this wasn’t what I went into journalism to do, but I had visions of upward mobility, and figured I could someday cross over into the print side of my field.

Unfortunately, I was a living embodiment of some troubling statistics. According to some data that I collected from The Columbia Journalism Review and www.payscale. com, the average starting salary for a journalist, fresh out of college with no experience at all, is currently about $30,000/year. Now, that’s a national average, so if you adjust for living in a state with a sub-median cost of living average, I’d wager it’s a little lower for Indiana (say, $27,000, maybe).

Payscale.com reports a “ceiling” for journalists with 20 years of experience or more at around $58,000/year nationally (approximately $55,000 in Indiana). None of this considers the type of hours that print journalists have to work. But it’s common that as a reporter you start “at the bottom.”

So if you start at a local newspaper that comes out every day and has deadlines of 11 p.m., there’s a pretty strong possibility you’ll be assigned a beat that will require you to work

many nights and weekends, and perhaps more than 40 hours a week. With holiday preference going to veterans, you’re probably looking at two weeks of vacation per year, and having to work on Christmas and New Year’s… if you’re lucky. I’d bet some beginning journalists don’t even get those full two weeks. Compounding these difficulties is the competitive, high-stress nature of the industry. If you like your hometown, don’t get used to it if you want to get promoted, because you’ll probably have to move. If you make too much money, don’t get used to it, because you might get replaced. If you don’t have any significant Web skills, you’d better learn fast, because newspapers are going the way of Marvin Harrison’s Colts career.

If you don’t believe me, ask Jay Mariotti, who famously quit as a syndicated sports columnist for the Chicago Sun freakin’ Times for a job at some anonymous Web site called www.fanhouse.com.

What I’m getting at is that I don’t think it’s fair to say that everyone who switches from their “dream job” to something more practical is giving up their dreams and “chasing the dollar.”

I’m an English teacher now (and I hope to someday teach journalism). Teachers don’t make much, but I’m pulling twice what I was as a journalist, and I have a combined 16 weeks off per year, plus national holidays and all weekends. I work hard and grade papers at home, but I rarely spend more than eight hours per day at my school. I’ve got great benefits and relatively good job security. And oh yeah…that advertising company I used to work for? Since I quit in order to pursue my teaching license, it has gone bankrupt, sold the majority of its shares to a larger company and fired two-thirds of its employees. Man, I miss that “dream job!”

I’m not advocating for anyone to quit pursuing their dream. I’m just stressing that many of us grow out of those dreams and develop new ones. I’m married, have a beautiful two-year-old son and another baby due in August. I own my own house. I own two cars. I have investments, retirement funds and plenty of savings. Times are tough, but my wife and I are hanging on and loving our jobs. Sure, I’d probably love being a famous columnist charged with the weekly task of antagonizing my readers, but I love teaching too. And someday I think I’ll love it just as much as being a journalist. I don’t regret anything; I’m appreciative of my journalism training, and I’m glad I didn’t study education as an undergrad. But at the same time, I’m glad I’m not busting my hump at some newspaper, pulling $10/hour and writing obituaries. That’s just not me. Being responsible, helping others, continuing my education, becoming a great educator…that’s me.

Sincerely, Lucas Klipsch

Spring Break reflection

How to be beautiful, inside and out, while soaking up the rays

By Jaclyn Luscomb STAFF WRITER Spring Break is almost here. Visualize sand, surf, sun and the age-appropriate drinks to accompany you on the beach.

However,young adults don’t think that going straight from classes to the beach is an easy thing to do. Getting the perfect beach body takes time, persistence and a whole lot of sweat. It’s not easy to roll out of bed, put on a bikini and strut your stuff all the way down the shoreline.

There are several articles floating on the Web that guide us to the perfect beach body, giving us tips on how to lose weight and tone up. Salons all over America are gearing up for this time of year with deals on fake tans.

Do we really need all that?

I admit, I’ve been a victim of this craze.

I’ve done the whole routine of tanning, running, YouTube ab video and buying a new swim suit before I felt I could lie peacefully on the beach.

Let me tell you that again. I wanted to work out non-stop for a month so that I could feel good about myself while I was lying around on a beach.

Who is it we feel that we need to

impress? Is it really necessary to tan, tone and trim my body before I can feel okay walking around without a shirt over my bathing-suit? Will a little pudge ruin all my fun?

A surprising number of young women think so. According to David Walsh’s online article at medialiteracrclearinghouse.com, “by the time girls reach the age of 17, 78 percent are dissatisfied with their bodies.” This means four out of five girls wouldn’t feel comfortable sporting a swimsuit alone and walking around a crowded beach over Spring Break.Why? Because Hollywood has gone touch-up crazy.

Every model in a commercial, every leading woman on the big screen and every pop star half-naked in a music video, is made to look as if she were born with abs of steel, outstanding cheekbones and hair that styles perfectly just out of the shower.

Although we all know this just is not possible, it is still a fact that a lot of college-aged women are having trouble getting past.

Girls are watching unrealistic, stick figure women strut around in front of them and are feeling worse and worse that they can’t seem to mock that image.

The only positive influence on television anymore is the Dove commercials that all end with real women campaigning about real beauty. Real beauty means being healthy, unique and happy in your own skin. Real beauty means having curves and natural looks.

Real beauty isn’t caked on makeup, an expensive outfit or elaborately styled hair.

Those things don’t belong on a beach anyway. Looking like a prom queen won’t do anything for you once you hit the surf or sweat off that make up.

For me, being happy in my skin is more important than having washboard abs any day. I would rather eat dessert and laugh with my friends than obsess over trying to look perfect in my bikini.

Here’s a tip: most guys will pick a girl with confidence and charisma over a girl who’s constantly obsessing with her looks.

Men are looking for a girl they can play around with, not a girl they would easily break.

The boys who are looking for something shiny and perfect are not worth your time in the long run anyway.

Don’t sweat the small things people. Go on your trips this break,soak up the sun and live it up. We are not young forever.

“We are really trying to over-communicate through different channels this year, whether it be through the Web, e-mail, phone or additional mailing communications,” Wilks said. “We are trying to get the facts out there.”

Wilks said that the admissions office is remaining positive in its view for the next academic year.

“I can tell you that it appears that students who are visiting campus are leaving with a good impression,” Wilks said. “We hope that means they view us [the university] as a good value.”

Weigand also expressed a positive outlook on the enrollment for fall 2009.

“One thing that seems to position us well, [is that] our increases in enrollment have been a bit lower than other schools in past years,” Weigand said. “Moderate growth over the last 10 years has put us in a good position.”

As the American recession continues, the American need for higher education rises. According to Ron Wilks, director of admissions, the university’s enrollment for semester II, which is 4,455 total students, breaks the prior university enrollment record set last semester.

“For us, enrollment looks strong. We haven’t really seen the negative impact of the economy so far in this regard,” Wilks said. “You might think students would be leaving and going someplace else, but that is not something that we have seen.”

Mark Weigand, vice president for student affairs and enrollment management, said that in other recession-like economic situations he has experienced during his time at the university, enrollment has only grown. He said because of a tough job market, people feel it’s even more important to attend college.

According to Weigand, other facets of student enrollment are up for fall 2009 such as applications from students attending area high schools, transfer students and international students. International student applications have increased 47 percent from last year, or a total of 48 more students.

“With the new president, what we are seeing is [that] how the U.S. is viewed by other countries is improving,” Weigand said.

Wilks said that even though enrollment is at an all-time high and tuition deposits for next year are up from last year,uncertain times warrant caution.

“From an historical standpoint,it seems like we are on track to have a good year in terms of enrollment, but of course this is not a typical historical year because of the economy,”Wilks said.“From our office, we are doing everything we can to make people aware that this school is worth the investment.”

CRC builds metal theft database Smoking banned throughout state

By Fangfang Li EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

In response to the rising metal theft crimes in Marion County, the University of Indianapolis Community Research Center has been working on the Indianapolis Metal Theft Project with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department since January 2008.

The Indianapolis Metal Theft Project aims to have an in-depth analysis on the Indianapolis metal theft crimes, including the regions, costs, markets and impacts of the crime. IMPD provided all the metal theft crime data for CRC to analyze.

“This is the first metal theft project in Indianapolis,” said Kevin Whiteacre, assistant professor of criminal justice and sociology. “In 2007 and 2008, a lot of jurisdictions started noticing that metal theft was on the rise, but very few jurisdictions actually had hard numbers. So we decided to collect data on that.”

According to the project’s report, the “Metal Theft Database Pilot,” 678 metal thefts were reported in Indianapolis from Jan. 1 to March 31, 2008 and the value of stolen metal averaged just under $1 million per month.

The report also showed that thieves steal many kinds of metals, including catalytic converters from cars, copper wires and cable, parts of air conditioners and coppers, aluminum siding and gutters.

“Originally, it [the metal theft crime] is driven by the price of the copper,” Whiteacre said. “The price of to copper really started the skyrocket based on the increased speculative world market and world’s demand for metals, like China was buying a lot of coppers.”

Despite the state law, state WHITEACRE regulation and city regulation on metal selling and marketing, Whiteacre said that the black market still exists.

“The law requires the scrap yards to get identifications from people who sell metals to them, but sometimes they [the thieves] can use fake I.D. so that they can get around [it],” Whiteacre said. “In fact, sometimes the scrap yards purchase materials not knowing they [the metals] were stolen. Sometimes employees of the scrap yards are aware of the fact but still buying them.”

Whiteacre mentioned that theft from

the scrap yards is also a big problem.

He said many employees of the scrap yards will steal metals on Sundays, and then sell those metals back on the following days, especially when the prices of the metals are very high.

Several UIndy graduate and undergraduate students are involved in this project as well. Whiteacre said this project is a good opportunity for students to have some hands-on experience and learn how a research project actually works.

Sophomore Raeann Howes, who works as research assistant for the metal theft database, said her experience of reading the crime reports and entering the data will benefit her career in the law enforcement area.

“It’s a really great project, and I’m glad I’m involved in it. It is very interesting to see how the statistics change as time goes by,” Howes said.

“And this is definitely something I will be dealing with in my future career.”

Discussing the project’s next step,Whiteacre said that the researchers want to identify the environment consequences of metal theft. Students in the project are just beginning to do interviews with people.

Whiteacre also said that metal theft crime is not just a local issue; it has become a worldwide issue.

Statewide smoking legislation matches UIndy policy

MILITARY from page 1 the amount is set,” Weigand said. “They look in each state and decide what that highest priced state university would be, and that’s what the student gets.”

Currently, The Department of Veterans’ Affairs is still determining the amount that will be equal to the highest priced state university’s tuition cost.

“All of this is still under consideration by the Department of Education,” Handy said.

Students must qualify for both the Post 9/11 Bill, and the Yellow Ribbon Award to qualify for the Freedom Award. According to Weigand, the new GI Bill was enacted last summer

by Congress, the Post 9/11 Educational Assistance Act of 2008, will take effect for students in the fall of 2009.

Handy said that for the Post 9/11 Bill requirements, veterans must to have served at least 90 days on active duty after Sept. 10, 2001, and still be

MAYOR from page 1 on active duty or honorably discharged.

Having completed at least 36 months of active duty makes a veteran eligible for full benefits.

A full list of the GI Bill requirements, is available at the United States Department of Veteran Affairs Web site (gibill.va.gov).

“If they have completed less than 36 months of active duty, they could potentially be eligible for benefits, but at a reduced HANDY rate, depending on how many months they’ve completed,” Handy said.

According to Weigand, active duty means that veterans are full-time in the

military, stationed anywhere in the U.S. or internationally.

“It’s not just for veterans who were in a war zone, like Iraq,” Weigand said.

The other program requirement for the Freedom Award is the Yellow Ribbon Program.

“To get into the Yellow Ribbon Program, which is the matching program, only people who are eligible for basic Post 9/11, based on 36 months of service, are eligible,” Handy said.

Both Handy and Weigand said that all veterans should fill out a FAFSA form by March 10, because these grants only cover tuition. If veterans choose to live on campus, they will have to pay the additional costs of room and board, and some of them could be eligible for government aid besides the GI Bill, Freedom Award and Yellow Ribbon Program.

Also joining the board of trustees are George Sherman Fleetwood, president of AT&T Indiana; Vicki Perry, president and CEO of Advantage Health Solutions; Roland Dorson, president of the Greater Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce; and Charles J. Garcia, president and CEO of Garcia Construction Group.

Peterson will be joining the board of trustees that consists of more than 30 members. According to Pitts, UIndy looks forward to the current members working together to accomplish goals.

“I am delighted to have this strong class join our board,” Pitts said. “They all bring strengths to UIndy.”

The Peak organization to help male students bond, grow Men’s group discusses manliness, life issues

By Chris Miller STAFF WRITER The Peak, a men’s group started by the Lantz Center for Christian Vocations and Formation, is the brainchild of junior youth ministry major Ryan Brock. The organization is in its first year at the University of Indianapolis.

Four other men help facilitate the group and carry out the meetings: sophomores Brian Marris and Scott Blanton, junior Benton Cartledge and senior Scott Knust.

“Around the country, different schools have other vocation programs similar to ours. All these schools show that they also have low male participation,” Brock said. “The purpose of The Peak is to get men together in a safe place and help them begin thinking critically about who they are, recognizing the ways we are products of culture

and then seeing who God is calling us to be.”

Other leaders of the group are equally invested in the idea.

“It gets men more actively involved with vocation-based activities on campus,” Cartledge said. “It has created a community that especially a lot of younger men on campus have bought into.”

The group meets on the first Tuesday of every month. At each meeting, there are usually four specific topics covered.

The first, “Feats of Strength”, typically serves as an ice-breaker allowing the men to participate in a group activity such as a rock-paper-scissor tournament or a chubby-bunny contest. This gets everyone involved and helps create a more relaxed atmosphere for the group.

The second portion,“Forum of Discussion,”which is specifically geared towards the cliche and over-popular views of what it means to be a man.

“We talk of an issue decided beforehand,” Brock said. “Each topic has to do with either a stereotype of masculinity or something similar and we try to move beyond that.”

The third theme is “Man Laws.” It is a manly government that is reminiscent of a parliament. This portion can be seen as the most innovative, as there is a scribe,

who dons a feathered cap, writing the created man laws in the group’s “Book of Laws.” The participants share what they talked about in their forums of discussion and in a very official manner create “laws” in which they can live better lives.

Some of these laws are very serious and individual calls to change while others are just for plain fun.

The purpose is to help process the previous discussion, but also have fun doing so.

Finally, the men come to “The Feast” where food is already provided.

The guys spend the rest of the evening cajoling, talking and filling their mantummies with food.

The Peak provides an experience in which men can gather together, enjoy one another’s company and strengthen relationships with one another.

“It’s not a huge movement on campus yet, but it has a small following that can grow,” Cartledge said. “It allows me to be a part of the community and gets me to know some men I probably wouldn’t have met otherwise.”

The next meeting is March 3 at 9 p.m. in Good Recital Hall.

FOR THE GUYS: 1. “Corona and Lime”

Schwayze 2. “Right ‘Round”

Flo Rida 3. “The Adventure”

Angels and Airwaves 4. “Sitting Waiting Wishing”

Perry comedy a success

Madea complains about the food quality of prison with other inmates in the new Tyler Perry comedy “Madea Goes to Jail.”

By Adrian Kendrick MANAGING EDITOR It was bound to happen. Mabel “Madea” Simmons finally goes to jail. In every “Madea” movie, she is one step away from prison, but this time she’s unable to talk her way of it.

The movie begins with lawyers reviewing a tape that was breaking news, which featured Madea in a high-speed chase running away from the cops on a freeway.

This incident, once again lands her in front of the judge, but instead she is sentenced to anger-management classes.

Of course Madea can never stay out of trouble for long. She is later sentenced to jail when she decides to take a matter into her own hands.

Meanwhile, Joshua Hardaway (Derek Luke), an assistant district attorney, has to reject a case that is too personal-defending Candy (Keshia Knight Pulliam), a drug-addicted prostitute. Joshua and Candy have a history together, that causes him to feel obligated to be there for her in difficult situations.

Joshua’s fiancée Linda (Ion Overman) becomes jealous of his and Candy’s relationship; and from that point on the

movie takes many twists and turns.

Without giving away the rest of “Madea Goes to Jail” , the movie is spectacular. Within all the comedy are significant messages that need to be told.

Some of the messages presented include helping others, forgiveness and taking responsibility for one’s own decisions.

Tyler Perry starred in, wrote, produced and directed the film and once again does a fabulous job engaging his audience in more ways than one. Madea is that character that all of us are, one way or another. She just isn’t afraid to act upon her feelings.

“Madea Goes to Jail” not only targets the college audience, but also preteens and older adults.

One of Perry’s talents is making his films relevant to a wide range of people.

As you Madea fans know, Madea is not afraid of no “po-po” but this time they have the privilege of taking her to jail.

So go watch this story unfold and get ready to laugh uncontrollably. I know money is scarce these days, but this film is definitely worth the splurge.

Besides, laughter is the best medicine for the soul, so go out and get some medicine.

This medicine is actually the good kind.

REVIEWS UP 1 FIRED COMEDY FILM

>> Big butts and skinny girls bending over as they warm up for cheerleading

flash across the screen as “Fired Up,” today’s latest teen sex comedy, grabs the attention of its audience. These are the types of girls womanizers Shawn Colfax (Nicholas D’Agosto) and Nick Brady (Eric Christian Olsen) hope to seduce. Instead of attending their varsity football camp, the boys have the wild idea of going to cheer camp. After playing the field with the majority of girls at their school, they feel the need to move onto bigger and better things.

Although it may be pretty cliché and quite predictable, “Fired Up” is filled with crude humor and innuendoes that leave you cracking up the entire time.

Don’t expect an award-winning masterpiece, but do expect an entertaining movie that will keep you laughing!

THE RATINGS

OF REFUSAL 2 YEARS MORRISSEY

>>Age can be a detriment to lesser rockers, but ever since 2004’s “You Are The

Quarry,” Morrissey has been enjoying a career resurgence that includes headlining this year’s Coachella festival. His latest shows a man’s histrionics validated by time passed. If Morrissey weren’t also a master of mirthful cleverness, he’d be insufferable, but on “Years of Refusal” he simply refuses to be put in an existential corner. Tunes like “You Were Good In Your Time” seem autobiographical, but the Moz is far from ready for retirement, as evident by the album’s glam-rock riffs and ironic punch lines. ‘No true friends in modern life’ Morrissey declares, but there are still plenty of fans.

>> As “Battlestar Galactica” ends its course on television, it remains an

example of excellence in science fiction. The remake of the 1970s cult classic has eclipsed its forbearer, offering a gritty and unromantic vision of science fiction not often seen. The story revolves around the rag-tag fleet formed by the 50,000 survivors of a nuclear apocalypse. The refugees are relentlessly pursued by their robotic adversaries, the Cylons, who look, feel and act human. This formula has allowed the show’s creators to deal with several relevant topics such as abortion, terrorism, torture, politics and what defines us as humans. The show has received numerous awards for writing and special effects, including a Peabody Award in 2006.

You’re going on a spring break trip?

Great! Have fun, but be safe.

The Reflector offers some advice:

By Caitlin Mannan

cores of students just like you are about to embark on their Spring Break adventures, too. However, many will have a less enjoyable time due to emergencies, forgotten items, dangerous situations and even jail time. Please keep eyes, hands and roaming attention spans inside the pages of this newspaper at all times and make sure your safety belt is securely fastened. You are now free to read on.

Be smart – use ICE. “In Case of Emergency,” also known as ICE, is an excellent feature built into many cell phones. Before leaving on your trip, program several important numbers into the contact labeled “In Case of Emergency.” If something happens to you, and you are unresponsive, a trained responder can pick up your phone, locate the ICE list and contact your family and friends. If this feature is not already installed on your phone, go ahead and make a contact list labeled “In Case of Emergency” and enter contacts there.

Register your foreign trip with the State Department.

Civil unrest, war, natural disasters and terrorism are all possible when you’re traveling in countries outside the United States.

According to Students Abroad (http://studentsabroad.state. gov/), a U.S. Department of State web site, it will be much easier for the nearest embassy to locate you and give you aid if your trip is registered with the U.S. State Department.

Being difficult to locate is the last thing you want during an emergency on foreign soil. Visit https://travelregistration.state.gov

to register your trip.

Leave a paper trail.

Whether you’re traveling several hours across a state line or halfway around the world, leave a copy of your itinerary with family and friends. Include phone numbers and addresses of where you expect to stay during your trip. If you are traveling outside the U.S., make sure those documents also include copies of plane tickets, passports, visas and IDs. Don’t overcrowd an elevator.

Elevators can – and will – get stuck.

Many people have seen it happen, and some have even been unlucky participants stuck inside. Getting out usually involves a visit from local firefighters, a few violations of personal space and a possible asthma or panic attack. By the time you are able to escape, you have a gawking crowd of other travelers or hotel guests waiting to greet you. Watch the weight limit, and don’t overcrowd an elevator.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

Obey the laws and customs wherever you go. Yes, even if you don’t agree with them. Dressing in customary clothing, covering your hair, covering exposed skin and minding the laws will keep you out of sticky situations. According to the U.S. Department of State (http://www.state.gov/), 2,500 American citizens are arrested abroad every year. Be smart – don’t help that number grow.

Don’t forget your passport!

Flying back from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda or the Caribbean?

Previously, travelers returning to the U.S. from these locations were not required to have a passport – but the rules have now changed.

According to the U.S. Department of State, anyone traveling home by air, land or sea from these places MUST have a passport.

No matter where you go, bring TWO forms of ID. If you are of age and plan to enter a venue that allows only those who are 21 and older inside, make sure that you carry two forms of ID with you. You don’t want to watch all your friends parade inside while you’re stuck out on the sidewalk.

Use the buddy system.

Males tend to ponder the absurdity of women visiting the restroom together, but the truth is that it is probably a good idea. Sticking together – whether visiting the restroom, shopping or sightseeing – is always a good idea in unfamiliar territory.

You’re not on Hanna Avenue anymore…

Cars will not always know to stop for you. While we all love our traffic-stopping abilities here on campus, remember that pedestrian laws are not so closely followed in other locales. Take the advice from your childhood days: “Look both ways and hold hands.” The best part? That whole “holding hands” thing is still fun.

Your cell phone, while it appears to be a useful extension of your own body, will not be your best line of defense.

Your common sense, however, will be a great defense. Don’t be fooled into thinking that someone won’t

attack you because you’re talking to someone on your phone. In fact, that makes you a target because they know you aren’t paying attention to your surroundings. If you get into a bad situation, you may not be able to get to your phone to dial or text anyone – so don’t get yourself in the situation in the first place.

Keep your eye on the sky… and the side of that snowy mountain… and the smoldering volcano over there…

Natural disasters can ruin even the best-made plans. Tornados, hurricanes, avalanches and volcanoes have all made for exciting – and deadly – vacations.

Make sure to keep your eye on local news and weather wherever you are, so that you don’t unknowingly travel into a potentially hazardous situation.

“Oh, no… I forgot (insert forgotten item here).”

We’ve all done it before, so here’s a list of commonly forgotten items that you really don’t want to leave behind: a camera, prescribed medication (especially asthma inhalers, insulin for diabetics, birth control, etc.), your passport and visas, tickets (for the plane, a Broadway show, the museum), written phone numbers (in case your cell phone goes dead, is lost or is broken), a small flashlight (in case of power outages), chargers for electronic equipment, a plug adapter and the nearest embassy’s phone number if traveling outside the U.S. Following guidelines, being prepared and remembering a few safety tips can only make it better.

CLO

So go grab your car keys, tickets and travel documents and get moving! (But in an orderly, safe fashion, of course.)

SPRING BREAK: A GLIMPSE OVER THE DECADES

By Adrian Kendrick

EAT & BE MERRY

any college students consider Spring Break just that: a break. It is a time to get away from all the stress of school and just unwind. Students look forward to spending time with family and friends, whether in the comfort of their home or on an overseas adventure.

However, was Spring Break always perceived as a getaway, or was it once overlooked and seen just as another week? Some UIndy alumni and a current student weigh in on what Spring Break was and is like from their perspective.

Have a pleasant dinner with your family or even cook for them if you can. Let them know that although you are an adult now, you still love them as much as before.

Go to see a movie College students to watch movies a lot—at home. Try find a night to see movie in a theate enjoy the environ that a television c never give you. Yo also see a 3-D mo you wish; it is fun it is something th a normal televisio doesn’t offer.

70 80 Vicki Swank

Carolyn Bunting Although rumor suggests that Spring Break began in the 1960s, it was not a priority according to UIndy class of 1960 alumna Carolyn Bunting.

According to Bunting it was not a getaway, party time at all.

She can’t even recall her friends discussing Spring Break.

“I didn’t have the money; there were never thoughts of traveling. I worked over break to stay in school,” Bunting said.

Bunting explained that Spring Break was a time when students didn’t feel pushed to get their assignments done, but they did complete homework over the break nonetheless.

“When I think of my experience growing up, Spring Break was just a break from class. It didn’t have any emotional connotation to it,” Bunting said. “We didn’t have any discretionary income; it all went towards necessities and college funds.”

Brian Martin Spring Break was becoming popular in the 1970s according to UIndy class of 1978 alumna Vicki Swank. At UIndy in the mid70s, break wasn’t until the end of second semester, so Florida weather was perfect for Spring Break plans.

“Everyone went to Florida back then that traveled, and they would drive because flying was expensive,” Swank said.

“So my girlfriends and I would load up in two cars, and we communicated through a CB (Citizens’ Brand) radio because we didn’t have cell phones then.”

According to Swank, they would all stay in a hotel with six to a bed and some on the bedroom floor, because at that time, hotel attendants didn’t care how many people occupied a room.

“It was a different time back then. Gas was only 80 cents a gallon. It was so much cheaper,” Swank explained. “We hung out at the beach and always dressed up at night to go out to eat and dance. “

Spring Break was a big deal in the 8 alumus Brian Martin. Martin graduate class of 1988.

He explained that Daytona Beach w UIndy students to travel during break get away. Martin traveled with his fri unable to spend time with on campu busy schedules.

“We didn’t get to see each other a school year. So in a sense, we all reun “[Reuniting] made Spring Break spec six or seven days in the sun and getti [air] was great.”

10 THINGS TO DO FOR THOSE STAYING HOME THIS SPRING BREAK

By FangFang Li

Spring Break is our well-deserved time off. However, if you don’t have an elaborate vacation planned, never fear. As your friends take off on their road trips and vacations, you can prove to them that staying at home is just as fun. You should use Spring Break to its full potential and here are some ideas on how to do so:

JUST ZOO IT! FIND A FRIEND

e. tend a y to ea er and nment could You can ovie if n, and hat on

Meet one of your friends you haven’t seen for a long time.

He or she may have been your best friend, but you do not have a chance to meet up anymore. You may attend different schools, or you may be too busy with your own schedules. Spring break is a good time for you to pick up on your old friendships and find out how your friends are doing.

Visit a zoo. When was the last time you visited a zoo? Do you still remember how excited you were when your first time saw some exotic animal? Life is not all about school, work and driving from one place to another. Spend a day with those lovely animals and feel how amazing nature can be.

GRAB A BOOK

Spend a day in a bookstore. Pick up some books that interest you, stay in that bookstore and enjoy some time reading.

When you are ready to leave, buy some old paperbacks and continue your reading at home!

EXERCISE

Go outside for bicycle riding, running, playing basketball or even just walking outside on a sunny day. Good outdoor exercises will improve the quality of your life.

Christie Beckmann, UIndy alumna and director of conference and scheduling, said Spring Break was just as popular in the 90s as it is today.

Most of her friends went on road trips and traveled someplace warm with family or friends. However, Beckmann had other important responsibilities to attend to.

“I was married with a child, so my break consisted of spending quality time with my family,” Beckmann said.

She made the choice to stay at home and relax, not to spend money on traveling.

“I didn’t have any crazy Spring Break trips,” Beckmann said. “I was proud to be a mom and a wife and to spend time with them.”

TALL, GRANDE, or Go to a coffee shop or cafe. Enjoy a quiet moment there. Then, tell yourself: This is the life. There is nothing you need to worry about, nothing you need to do in a rush.

That moment is just for you.

HIT THE BOOKS DO SOMETHING NEW Recall one thing that you really want to do, but you never got a chance to.

Whatever it is—drawing a picture, learning a song or saying something to someone—spring break will be a great time to start.

Do everything you want to do; you might regret it if you don’t.

9

Do some homework— either to catch up your classes or to further your studies. Use Spring Break as a time to get ahead, and then enjoy relaxing as your friends scramble to meet deadlines.

CATCH SOME Zzz

10

Sleep. Sleeping enough is always a good idea, when you can. Besides, that is what a spring break means to students: Relax, relax, relax!

00 Sarah Odle According to current UIndy freshman Sarah Odle, Spring Break is more popular now than ever among students.

“Everyone wants to go somewhere even if it’s not Florida.

Students just want to leave,” Olde said. “We’ve been locked here [at school] all semester! It’s an excuse to spend money and to go somewhere.”

Olde and girlfriends are going on their first Spring Break road trip to Florida this year. They will drive 15 hours straight through, taking five-hour driving shifts each.

“We’re going to be on the ocean all day long,” Odle said. “I’m going to be burnt like a lobster, but who cares? It’ll be worth it!”

The Verdict Spring Break has changed over the years. Gas cost about 80 cents a gallon whereas now it is close to $2. Now we communicate on cell phones instead of CB radios. Whether you’re on the beaches of Florida or still catching up on homework, one thing is for sure: Spring Break is still viewed as a cherished break.

PHISHING SCAMS CATCH CAMPUS

By Micah McVicker STAFF WRITER Information Systems and the Literacy Information Outreach Team are proactively spreading the word of the dangers of phishing. According to the Anti-Phishing Working Group’s Web site (antiphishing.org), phishing is “the practice of luring unsuspecting Internet users to a fake Web site by using authentic-looking e-mail with the real organization’s logo, in an attempt to steal passwords, financial or personal information or introduce a virus attack.”

According to Jeff Russell,chief information officer, phishing can be avoided by ignoring suspicious e-mails.

“The biggest danger is, if someone responds to a phishing attack, their account is compromised,” Russell said.

“Which means someone else has their name, user account and password.”

Phishers are not typically trying to steal anyone’s financial information.

Instead, they seek to promote their company by artificially increasing hits on their Web site.

“Phishing is usually about hijacking your account and using it to process email from someplace to someplace else in very large quantities,” Russell said.

“It looks like it’s coming from that student’s account and they’re using it a lot, which raises hits. Subsequently, a search engine like Google or Yahoo is going to have them [the fake Web sites] more likely on their first page of the search result.”

Web site hits are not the only determining factor in the order of sites in search results. And, according to Russell, different search engines work slightly differently.

“To give you the most highly sought after match for your search,the number of words that searches and the use of metadata are other ways,”Russell said.

“Metadata are the hidden tags inside of a Web site. If I was looking for red bicycles in Flickr, I’m getting more volume because I’m going to get as many pictures with red bicycles.”

Falling victim to a phishing attack contains significant ramifications for the e-mail networks, especially if the e-mail server is less expectant of receiving thousands of e-mails in the span of a few hours.

“If a student or a faculty member falls for a phishing attack, the way our network is set up is [that] as soon as we see that volume of mail go through the roof, we shut off your account,” Russell said. “In a matter of an hour, it takes us that long before we see that

MURAL from page 1 tentatively scheduled to be placed in Schwitzer Student Center, will draw from students’ and faculty’s creative input both during the design and implementation stages.

“I will be distributing about 20 journals throughout campus for people to write, doodle and illustrate in about their experiences at UIndy,” Seaton said. “This is a hands-on way for people to give me opinions on what they would like to see in the mural.”

Seaton has not set an exact date, but the mural painting is tentatively set for late August. Seaton said she will sketch the mural in a paint-bynumbers format so students, faculty and alumni can get involved in the creative process.

“We have always been really modest as an institution,”said Greta Pennell,chair of the honors college. “We have always done great things in quiet ways. People are beginning to see that, but to have a visual representation, I think, that’s just another way to tell that story.”

After Seaton distributes the journals, she asks that one person keep a journal for a week

volume.That can be pushing anywhere from 15,000 to 20,000 e-mails through one account.”

Russell said that this inundation of e-mails through one account has four major ramifications.

“One, it absorbs our bandwidth, on and off campus. Two, you are no longer the owner of your account. Three, it swallows up a large portion of our Internet connectivity. Four, it gets us blacklisted at search engines because it looks like we’re spamming them.”

Information Systems, in conjunction with the Literacy Information Outreach Team, posted phishing signs throughout campus. Francesca Busch is the interim director and manager of public and outreach services.

“The phishing posters were placed around campus to help raise awareness about the problem of phishing e-mails that try to trick people into giving out their passwords or other account information,” Busch said. “The posters call attention to this cybercrime and direct people to an informative IS Web page that goes into more detail about how we can detect phishing and protect ourselves from it.”

More information on phishing and internet scams is available on the Information System’s Web site (is. uindy.edu/phishing).

and then pass it on to another student or faculty member. Seaton said there will also be journals left in the library and student center for people to use.

The journals are due back to the Art Department Office in the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center

by April 24.

“For the campus, I can’t imagine a better winwin situation,” Pennell said. “If I’m not artistically inclined, I’m still going to be able to participate in a piece of art. I can bring my parents or my little brother or sister by and say, ‘I helped create that.’”

Seaton also has created a Facebook group page for students and faculty to add their input. Group members can write on the group wall or upload photos for inspiration. Pennell said the marketing and design of the project are “a perfect marriage of Ashley’s talents.”

“She’s been very smart in designing it because it’s going to be on panels, so that as Schwitzer and the campus grow and change, that mural could be used in different places,” Pennell said.

Seaton described her ideas for the mural as “really graphic, hip and young.” She also has designed

a logo for the project as well as posters, banners and a T-shirt to promote the event.

“It [the mural] is not going to capture realism, and it’s not going to be the typical mural depicting just one scene. The panels aren’t just going to be rectangular in shape; they’re going to be a lot of crazy shapes with elements cut out of them.”

Pennell said even though an honors project proposal getting accepted on the first submission is unusual, most people get a “revise and resubmit.” Seaton’s proposal was accepted on the first submission.

“Even before we told Ashley that it was approved, I sent the summary of the proposal to President Pitts,” Pennell said. “She embraced it immediately and thought it was fabulous.”

The Honors Committee then met with Jim Viewegh, associate professor of art and design and Seaton’s faculty adviser, Dee Sehaad, art department chair and chair of the committee for art on campus, and Mary Moore, vice president of research, planning and international partnerships to work out the logistics of Seaton’s project.

The University of Indianapolis baseball team tacked on two more losses to its record, going 5-5.

Playing against the No. 6 ranked Ashland University Feb. 28 to March 1, the ‘Hounds lost their first game 2-1.

The second game against Ashland went into additional innings. The teams had been tied at 1-1, until Ashland scored in the top of the 11th inning. UIndy did not score in the bottom, resulting in an Ashland 3-1 win.

“Ashland went to the Division II college world series last year. Taking home a couple of wins against them would be great,” said senior Ben Sondgeroth.

On Feb. 22, the team was scheduled to play Hillsdale College in a double header, but those games were cancelled due to the weather.

The Greyhounds played Northwest Missouri State University (NMSU) Feb. 15, losing the first game 3-4, but came back to win the second game 4-1.

In the first game, the ‘Hounds did not get a chance to score until the bottom of the fourth inning, tying the game at 2-2.

NMSU scored twice in the top of the sixth inning, but UIndy would come back to score in the bottom of that inning. For the rest of game both teams would not score, and the ‘Hounds lost 3-4.

“We have scored a lot of runs in our first few games, and hitting usually takes some time to develop,” said senior Casey Potter.

“We have a good group of underclassman who have been playing well and putting up some numbers.”

On Feb. 16, the UIndy Athletic Web site announced that senior Travis Kempton was named Great Lakes Valley Conference pitcher-of-the-week. He pitched three scoreless innings during the game against Arkansas Tech University on Feb. 14.

Potter said one obstacle at the beginning of the season was the bad weather, but the team was able to get past it.

“I think that there are big things in store for this team once we get a chance to be consistently on the field and play every day outside,” Sondgeroth said.

Potter said it is still early in the season and there is room for improvement.

“I think we will win a lot of games. We saved our bigger games for last this year, with Bellarmine and St. Joseph’s in late April,” Potter said. “We should be plenty fired up and ready to go by then.”

The team has been practicing every day, preparing for the season ahead.

“It has been good to get away the past few weekends to get to play and knock some of the rust off,” Sondgeroth said.

The Greyhounds are scheduled to play Oakland City University at Oakland City, Ind. on March 7, at 1 p.m., and Hillsdale at 4 p.m. The team will play two more times at Oakland City on March 8, at 1 and 4 p.m.

Women’s basketball to enter postseason play

By Staci Reafsnyder SPORTS EDITOR

The University of Indianapolis women’s basketball team earned a spot in the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament when they defeated Kentucky Wesleyan College on Feb. 19. As of Feb. 28, the Greyhounds record stood at (22-8, and 11-7) going into conference play.

“I think this season has gone far. Not exactly where we thought we’d be, but we’re turning the corner now right before tourney time,”said sophomore Samantha Meissel.

In the last game of the regular season, the Greyhounds face conference foe the University of Wisconsin-Parkside at Nicoson Hall Feb. 28.

At the end of the first quarter, the ‘Hounds were in the lead 40-31. They would keep that lead through-out the second half, defeating Wisconsin-Parkside 77-70.

UIndy added another win to their record, defeating St. Joseph’s College 69-54 on Feb. 26.

Meissel was the top player of the night, contributing 22 points and reached a career-high of 12 rebounds against the Pumas.

“We’ve been saying for a while now [that] it’s time to turn the corner and everyone start going in the same direction which is getting on board with the coaching staff and being coachable, disciplined and following their game play,”said senior Isabell Rhenwrick.

The Greyhounds traveled to Louisville, Ky., to take on the Bellarmine University Knights in a GLVC match on Feb. 21.

Sophomore Samantha Meissel put the ‘Hounds on the score board early in the game, but Bellarmine would take a sixpoint lead at the RHENWRICK end of the first half. UIndy would struggle in the second half to regain the lead, losing 87-76 to the Knights.

“We’ve had some rough games, but they have only made us want to win even more,” Meissel said. “We want to show and or prove to people that we are serious and UIndy should start getting the credit we deserve.”

On Feb. 19, the ‘Hounds defeated Kentucky Wesleyan 77-68, earning a spot

in the GLVC Tournament. Meissel was the top scorer of the night, contributing 26 points to the Greyhound win.

“The win against Kentucky Wesleyan clenched our berth in the conference tournament,”Rhenwrick said.“We’re fighting right now to get a top eight ranking in the regional polls.”

Meissel said that going into the game against KWC she had no doubts about the game, she knew they were going to win.

According to Rhenwrick, practices have been more focused on rebounding and zone defense to change-up and throw off teams that they will play in the near future.

“We have a very intense coaching staff,” Rhenwrick said. “They are all good teachers [and] they know how to teach the game.”

Meissel said that going into the GLVC Tournament, the team doesn’t just want to win, but to prove something to the conference and the surrounding teams.

“We don’t want to go in and just win the games, we want to hold them under certain points, out-rebound them by so many, commit fewer turnovers, take charges and just all around out-hustle them,” Meissel said. “We know [that] Photo by Carolyn Harless •The Reflector if we do this we’ll go a lot farther than Sophomore Katie Lyons (13) blocks Kentucky Wesleyan’s senior Whitney Waddell (44) as she dribbles up court on Feb. anyone can imagine.”

Greyhounds defeated at conference Men’s basketball ends season with a loss to Wisconsin-Parkside

By Mandy Weber STAFF WRITER The University of Indianapolis men’s basketball team fell short of securing a position in the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament.

However, the Greyhounds were able to hold other teams from a GLVC tourney bid.

UIndy finished off the season with a loss to the University of Wisconsin Parkside 83-92. Their final record on the season was 9-18, 4-14 in the GLVC. Senior Keith Radcliff was the top scorer of the night contributing 27 points.

Gouard said that he is very pleased with the work ethic of the team this year, and the fact that the team has never given up.

“Despite the circumstances and how we started off, we are getting better,” GOUARD Gouard said. “We are making the right steps to building a foundation for the future.”

UIndy traveled to Rensselaer, Ind., to play the Saint Joseph Pumas Feb. 26.

UIndy took the lead late in the first period, going into the half time with the Pumas trailing 44-46. In the second period, the ‘Hounds held the lead until St. Joseph’s made two free throw-shots that put them ahead 65-63. The Pumas would maintain the lead the rest of the game, defeating UIndy 74-72.

UIndy went on the road to face the No. 22 ranked Bellarmine University Knights on Feb. 24. Some leading players that game were seniors Keith Radcliff with 16 points, Tyke Cockerham and Tristan Rogers, whom both had 13 points. Despite this, the Greyhounds fell to the Knights 68-89.

On Feb. 19, the Greyhounds played Kentucky Wesleyan College at Nicoson Hall in one of the last games of the regular season.

UIndy led during the second half, tying KWC 64-64 with 1:18 left on the clock. In the last second of the game, KWC scored, defeating the ‘Hounds 66-64.

“We ended up losing to Kentucky Wesleyan on a last second shot, which was demoralizing,” Cockerham said.

Gouard said that the KWC game all came down to who was going to give in first.

“Those guys [Kentucky Wesleyan] capitalized [on] a lot of our mistakes, [and] we hung in there and fought hard until the

The University of Indianapolis softball team kicked off its season at the AlabamaHuntsville Charger Chillout in Decatur, Ala., with a 4-2 record after being ranked second in the preseason polls.

The Greyhounds traveled to Alabama to take on the University of AlabamaHunstville Feb. 28 to March. 1. Due to weather conditions, all games were cancelled.

“We enjoy the polls and seeing what others think of this team, but hard work and dedication are what matters,” said head coach Melissa Frost-Fisher.

The weekend series began on Feb. 20 when the ‘Hounds played both Delta State University and Wayne State University.

In the first game against Delta State, the Greyhounds were down 0-4 going into the fifth inning but came back in the seventh to jump ahead by two runs.

UIndy kept Delta State from scoring the rest of the game and won 6-4. The ‘Hounds improved their record to 2-0, defeating Wayne State University 8-1 in the second game of the Charger Chillout on Feb. 20.

On the second day of the Charger Chillout, UIndy split by winning 5-2 against Truman State University but lost 2-1 to Columbus State University in the eighth inning on Feb. 21.

The Greyhounds ended the weekend tourney with another split. They won 9-6 over Georgia College and suffered a 5-9 loss to University of West Florida on Feb. 22.

“It was a great start to our season [and] made a huge statement for the rest of our season,” said sophomore Cat Sampson.

“Other teams saw that we came out and beat a good team, a team that had already played a few games before we did. It shows that we are a solid team and coming out with a winning weekend means we know what we are capable of.”

Practice this year, as in past years, was primarily indoors due to the winter weather.

“I am looking forward to this season and watching the goals that we have set being fulfilled,” Frost-Fischer said.

“We are playing on a new field this year, [and] we are playing at Indiana Central Little League just off of Keystone. We have never played there before, but the bases are still 60 feet and the mound is still 43. You just have to adjust to surroundings.”

Tennis teams have rough start to spring ON DECK Season brings losses to both men’s and women’s records

By James Allen ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR The University of Indianapolis men’s and women’s tennis teams have started their spring season.

The men’s team has started rough with a 2-3 record, and the women’s team started the spring season with a 1-2 record. However, head coach John Venter said both teams are showing

promise.

“Our goal this season is to make it to the NCAA tournament,” Venter said.

According the Venter, the teams have a hard road ahead of them.

“The talent levels are very high, but not a lot of experience,” Venter said.

The men’s and women’s teams traveled to Franklin College on Feb. 28.

Both teams went 9-0 against Franklin College, adding another win to both of their records.

Junior Aly Neidlinger and senior Megan Farley practice at the UIndy Tennis Center in preparation for upcoming matches.

On Feb. 21, the men’s team traveled to Greencastle, Ind., to face the Depauw University Tigers. The lone win for UIndy came when junior Johnathan Hack won 6-1 at No. 2 singles against senior Bryan Heck of Depauw. UIndy lost to the Tigers, 1-8.

In a weekend series at the UIndy Tennis Center, the men’s team was defeated by Ferris State University on Feb. 14, 0-9, and Grand Valley State University on Feb. 15, 3-6.

“We would have liked to have done better,” Venter said.

The men’s team defeated Wayne State University on Feb. 8 winning 6-3. Junior Kyle Prow defeated WSU’s sophomore Eric Szydlowski 6-1 and 6-3 in No. 3 singles. Three other Greyhounds defeated WSU players.

The women’s team started the spring season with a 3-6 loss to Ferris State University on Feb. 14.

Grand Valley State University came to the Tennis Center on Feb. 15, giving UIndy the second defeat of the spring season.The ‘Hounds did not win any of its matches, falling to GVSU 0-9.

Freshman Bob Helfst, a new recruit for the men’s team, said he is looking forward to this season.

“It’s going to be interesting to see how far we can go as a team this season,” Helfst said. “Since we have a lot of experience leading and some fresh talent coming on, it’s really up to us how far we go.”

Junior captain Aly Neidlinger said that making the tournament is one of the team’s goals.

“We want to get everyone to feel connected as a team and work hard together,” Neidlinger said.

end,” Gouard said.

“It was some good defense by Tyke and great offense by TJ Smith.”

According to Gouard, this season the Greyhounds have battled a tough and brutal schedule.

The team played seven nationally ranked teams this season.

Gouard said that if he could describe his team in one word, it would be “survivors.”

“These kids fought hard and never gave up, despite the many challenges of playing nationally ranked teams,”Gouard said.“We went through many storms, and still we got better every night [that] we set foot on the floor.”

Cockerham said that even with everything the team members have been through this year–good and bad–they are still a close group.

“Coach Gouard has been very instrumental to all of us this year and taught us more than just how to play this game,” Cockerham said. “He is one of the best coaches I have ever played for, and my feelings are the same towards the entire staff.”
