HOME IS WHERE THE HOUNDS ARE

Homecoming events were held daily throughout the week of Oct. 4-9

By Kayla Prosser STAFF WRITER ‘Home is where the hounds are’ was the theme for the University of Indianapolis homecoming, which was the week of Oct. 4-9. Each day contained events for students to attend, leading up to the homecoming football game on Saturday evening.

Homecoming is planned by the Student Homecoming Committee. The committee plans months in advance for the week of homecoming.

“For having a small committee, I’m very pleased with how well the events went,”said senior and homecoming committee member Katherine Allen. “The turnout for all the events this week was more than I was expecting.”

Monday was Show Your Spirit Day. Students wore their UIndy gear to show off their spirit. CPB sponsored the Pep Rally that took place on Smith Mall at 8:45 p.m. This year the pep rally was held outside and was meant to be a social gathering rather than the usual rally in the Ruth Lilly Fitness Center.

The office door decorating competition took place on Tuesday and was sponsored

by Student Affairs. Each UIndy department showed their spirit by decorating their office doors. Greyhound Ace’s 1st birthday party was held in Schwitzer Student Center from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.

In honor of the celebration, students were invited to enjoy cake, drinks and games.

The Homecoming Court Competition was also held in Schwitzer at 7 p.m on Tuesday.

Wednesday, Colts Chaplain Ken Johnson and his son K.D Johnson presented their testimonies to students. The event was held in Christel De Haan Fine Arts Center at 7 p.m.

Thursday, the annual Celebration of the Flags, sponsored by The International Division was held on Smith Mall at 2 p.m. Students were invited to celebrate the on-campus diversity.

Show Your Spirit night, sponsored

by CPB, was held in Schwitzer at 8:30 p.m. Students decorated their own signs to show off their spirit.

Friday, students could dance the night away at Dancin’ Through the Decades.

HOMECOMING ROYALTY Sophomore Mark Nania and junior Sophia Gonzalez were crowned king and queen during halftime of the homecoming game.

Students dressed in their favorite decade attire from 1902, when the school was established.

Before the game on Saturday, various organizations from UIndy decorated golf carts showing off their Homecoming spirit. The Golf Cart Parade took place at 5 p.m. in Key Stadium. Students gathered in the parking lot beside the football field to tailgate. The Office of Alumni Relations sponsored Tailgate Town with which Greyhound Club also helped. Students and alumni tailgated before and during the football game.

At halftime, the Homecoming Court gathered on the field to await the decision of who would be crowned king and queen. Sophomore Mark Nania and junior Sophia Gonzalez won king and queen.

UIndy battled with Northwood all four quarters of the game. Northwood took home the victory with the score 24-31.

Following the game, students could wind down with coffee and dessert at the Coffeehouse in Schwitzer UIndy Hall. Students gathered to listen to coffeehouse performer Beau Bristow.

“Overall homecoming was OK,” senior Khylee Woodford said. “A win would have been nice, but all the campus activities were fun and got a lot of people who wouldn’t normally go to head to it.”

According to Allen, the planning for next year has already started.

“The committee will be looking at ways to improve next year’s homecoming,” Allen said.

Adjunct instructor joins Indiana Supreme Court

Gov. Mitch Daniels chooses Adjunct Social Sciences Professor and Boone County Circuit Court Judge Steven David from 30 applicants

Gov. Mitch Daniels announced that University of Indianapolis Adjunct Faculty Member and Boone County Circuit Court Judge Steven David would be one of Indiana’s Supreme Court justices on Sept. 17. David replaced Justice Theodore R. Boehm, who retired Sept. 30.

David taught a course called Criminal Evidence in the spring of 2010, while filling in for Associate Professor and Director of the Criminal Justice Program Dennis Williams.

“I live in Lebanon, and I’m one of the public defenders of the county,”Williams said. “So I practice in his court, and he’s also the juvenile court judge for the county. So I asked him to take a class, if he’d be interested, because he’d mentioned it before.”

A circuit court judge for 16 years, David didn’t have much teaching experience before stepping into the classroom at UIndy, but his unique experiences and insight into criminal justice really resonated with some of the students.

“He was very active, involved, and always prepared,”junior Ian Duncan said.

“I particularly liked his ethics lecture,

when he told us lots of stories from his days in Guantanamo Bay.” His interactive teaching style peaked the interest of other students as well.

“One day he brought in an interrogator, a lady from corrections, and they gave us tips and advice regarding criminal evidence,” junior Ashley Boxley said. “It made it a lot easier to learn.”

David’s diverse experience in law and criminal justice impressed more people than the governor.

“I had a lot of personal talks with Judge David, and he gave me a lot of great advice,” Duncan said. “I already had an interest in criminal justice. He just helped it along.”

David’s professional career includes more than a quarter of a century in the U.S. Army, where he rose in the ranks to colonel and completed at least one tour in Iraq, according to Williams.

With experience in private practice and corporate business and having served as chief counsel for the Office of Military Commissions at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, David’s appointment to justice was not surprising to Williams.

“They had three really strong candidates,”Williams said.“And there were 30 who originally applied. To go through the interview process and make the

> See Page 4

final three is an honor in and of itself. I just figured he had as good of a chance as the other two.”

How David will influence the court has yet to be seen, although Williams does not consider him to sway too far to the right or the left.

“He’s fairly conservative, but he also understands and sees the broader picture of how society changes,” Wiliams said.

“Of course, the Supreme Court is the guardian of the state constitution, and I think he will be a strong proponent of constitutional rights. He has a keen awareness of what society needs, and he won’t be extreme in either direction.”

David had been asked to teach another class next semester. Williams figured that, with this news, David would be hardpressed to find the time and energy, but that wasn’t case.

“We had him scheduled to teach Juvenile Delinquency, and then he got appointed to the Supreme Court,” Williams said.“Well, I talked to him yesterday because I had some books for him, and he’s still going to do it. We’re going to have an associate justice of the Indiana Supreme Court teaching on this campus.”

This came as good news to Duncan.

“If he’s teaching another class next semester, I’d take it no matter what it is.”

NOW YOU HAVE IT, NOW YOU DON’T

The university’s unreliable network causes frustration, annoyance among students

By J.P. Sinclair

Having just defeated Sindragosa, the second-to-last boss in Ice Crown Citadel, my guild was in the process of a raid, on the move to make some attempts on The Lich King. Finally, after months and months of waiting for this moment, it was my turn. We approached the boss, laid out our plan through our headsets attached to a program called Vent and charged in.

This is when my computer suddenly decided to become sluggish. I slowly worked through my rotation of abilities to do damage to the boss, hearing people scream at me in Vent for being out of position for the fight.

I tried moving, but my keyboard was becoming unresponsive. And then it happened…I was booted from my game, back to the main menu with the “You have been disconnected from the server” message. I cursed. A lot. This was just another Saturday night for me, fighting the University of Indianapolis network.

Some of the people I raid with in World of Warcraft (WOW) are high school students from Wisconsin. They were considering attending UIndy until they saw how I struggled on the network. They then quickly crossed the university off their list. When asked by other prospective students about the network, my response is brutally honest. It’s awful. While there are other facets about this school I

love and wouldn’t trade for the world, the bottom line is the network is unpredictable.

There have been advances in the network. Just 10 years ago, fiber optics were installed across campus, a significant upgrade from the 56k circuit ARCnet network the school had previously implemented back in 1992.

The school continued to evolve in the summer of 2000 when it implemented three T1 systems.

In 2004, wireless Internet became available on campus. UIndy became labeled as an all-wireless campus after 2005. However, the campus apartments did not get full service wireless until 2009.

Upgrade continued in 2005. The Internet connection moved to an FDS3 system, creating 40 new megabytes of network to work with.

There was a three-year plan laid out for the information systems department from early 2006 to the end of 2008 on their Web site. According to the Web site, no new milestones have been reached in those years. Now it could be my ignorance, or their Web site may be outdated, but this makes me wonder why new milestones from 2006-2008 and even 2009-2010 have not been listed, and why a new plan has not been issued.

Now I look at the increased number of freshmen each year and I feel my heart sink. Like the seemingly always over-crowded residence halls, we have an increasingly over-crowded network.

In previous articles in The Reflector, Jeff Russell, chief information officer,

LETTER TO THE EDITOR What the Republican Party can gain from the Tea Party To the Editor: Despite the 24/7 presence of nauseating and asinine rhetoric from politicians on both sides of the aisle, something is happening in the United States. By now, most have heard of the Tea Party in some form or another. Whether from the early protests by members in the beginning of 2009 or the success of Nevada’s Sharron Angle capturing the nomination for the 2010 Nevada Senate Race, the Tea Party, whether you love it, hate it, or couldn’t care less about it, has managed to capture a small percentage of the public’s heart and is making a relatively decent chip in the US political scheme.

What does this mean for politics in the US as we know it? Restructure. No matter if you subscribe to the left, middle or right, one thing is clear: the US is in need of a change from the defunct two-party system. And how could this benefit the GOP? By capturing the far right of the Republican Party, the Tea Party and its candidates have given the GOP a chance to go under the knife, get a little plastic surgery and come back on the scene with a new message, new voting bloc and yes, pun intended, a fresh face. By sending the small percentage of far-right Americans into the hands of the Tea Party, the GOP now can step away from its former alienating rhetoric regarding social issues while keeping with its popular agenda of controlled government spending. I’m arguing that even when the nation is slowly but surely heading to the center/left on a number of social issues, a number of GOP candidates have, for the sake of votes, stalled social progress in the US. What issues? First, the use of “green” and alternative sources of energy comes to mind. According to GovTrack.us, H.R. 2454 (named American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009) seeks to, “reduce American greenhouse gas emissions to 20 percent below 2005 levels by 2020, and to 83 percent below 2005 levels by 2050. It also mandates that 25 percent of the nation’s energy be produced from renewable sources by 2025, creates new energy efficiency programs, puts limits on the carbon content of motor fuels and requires greenhouse gas standards for new heavy-duty vehicles and engines.” It passed the house, but it is still intriguing to see the numbers. Number of Republicans in the House who voted No? 169. Democrats? 43.

The second issue is that of Hate Crime legislation. Ever heard of H.R. 1913?

This bill is intended to add disability, perceived gender, orientation and gender identity to the federal hate-crime law. That seems understandable--making sure Americans are protected from those who might seek to harm them? Although it passed the House, 159 Republican members voted no, along with 16 Democratic members. Every representative from the following states voted no: Alabama, Alaska, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Wyoming. I don’t want to assume that the representatives who voted against this hate those with disabilities, gays or lesbians. I will make the assumption that they were concerned about the coming campaign season.

The issue of sex discrimination is a significant example as well. H.R. 12, introduced in January 2009 by Rep. Rosa DeLauro, sought to, “amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to provide more effective remedies to victims of discrimination in the payment of wages on the basis of sex, and for other purposes” (OpenCongress.org). Why shouldn’t there be more resources for persons suffering from wage discrimination? Again, this is a case where the bill passed the House but the vote record according to GovTrack.us begs to be looked at. Democrats voting no: 2; Republicans voting no: 161. States where every representative voted against the bill: Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska and Wyoming.

I am not saying that the Republican Party is against alternative energy, expanding federal hate-crime protection or providing more resources for wage discrimination. I also recognize that these are just three examples among a staggering amount of legislation on which Congress votes. What I’m hypothesizing is that these “No” votes were cast with the upcoming election in mind. Why support Democratic legislation right before an election? I’m betting many politicians voted against these legislations because of their constituents who may not agree with some or all of the details presented in the bills above.

If the Tea Party candidates were to attract the small percentage of Americans who disagree with parts of the legislations above and ones similar to it, moderate Republicans might be able to capture a growing percentage of the American public who cannot find a happy medium with the current Republican and Democratic parties. The Republican Party could emerge as a moderate party, maintaining its current platform of fiscal moderation while leading the way in social issue advancement. Will it happen? We can only speculate just how numerous and influential the Tea Party will become. But if you’re like me, it’s getting really old really fast watching an ass and an elephant try to agree on anything.

UIndy’s Wireless Access...

said they were looking to upgrade to I-light in 2009, part of a statewide initiative to bring more bandwidth to the campus. We were supposed to get it that April. According to the I-light Web site, UIndy isn’t even on that list as of October 2010.

Besides these seemingly minor

glitches and annoyances, an antiquated network can lead to serious problems.

In Sept. 2008, a cyber-attack to the network threatened nearly 11,000 personal records on the archived server, which contained detailed student and staff information.

It is time for changes to be made

for the betterment of the university. I won’t pretend that I know everything about our bandwidth, or what needs to be done for our school’s network.

I’m not the expert. I’m just a 22-yearold student looking to play WOW on a Saturday night, but finding himself increasingly unable to do so.

School and work: A balancing act

The struggles of the full-time student with a part-time job

By Bob Helfst

Attending college is neither an easy nor a cheap task. Students feel a strain on their sanity, time and wallets. While there are many options to help ease the financial burden, most result in prodigious amounts of debt later in life.

Other choices to save money, such as living at home, just aren’t as attractive as the independence of living alone.

Also, students who wish to attend a school farther from home have no choice but to spend the extra money to live in the residence halls or an offcampus apartment.

I lived in the residence halls my freshman and sophomore years before deciding to get an apartment with a few friends this year. I felt ready for the independence brought by my own space and the added responsibilities that would come with it. While I do deeply enjoy and value my independence and free time, I knew that I would need supplementary income to make this living arrangement possible.

Solution: the part-time job.

After going through the unique hell that is the job interview process,

I eventually landed a part-time job at Best Buy. I looked forward to the additional spending money and financial flexibility that being employed would bring. I thought I could handle the additional time commitment and stresses of a part-time job. I was wrong.

At first, I had everything under control. It was a tight schedule, but I managed my time well. Class, work, exercise, errands and sleep all had their allotted times, and I managed to enjoy a modicum of free time as well. But all of a sudden, something changed.

I don’t know if my focus shifted or the pace of classes just picked up, but suddenly I was getting behind in my classes. I had no idea how it happened.

I was suddenly overwhelmed. My stress levels were through the roof, and I wasn’t getting enough sleep. I was terrified.

I worked hard to get my job, and I liked it, but I knew I couldn’t handle this schedule for the entire semester. I didn’t know what to do or who to turn to. My parents, professors and friends all gave the same, essential nugget of advice: Do what you have to do.

So I made the tough decision and called my manager. I explained my situation and voiced my concerns.

When I was done, I let out a sigh and

waited for the worst.

I had expected a tirade or disappointment in response. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised.

Luckily for me, my manager is an understanding man. We took the time and discussed several different solutions. After a few minutes, we reached a mutual decision to remove me from the schedule for a few weeks so that I could figure things out. My academics come first; they always have and always will. If I think I can handle the complicated dual nature of student and worker, I shall return. And if not, well…

I think Tom Petty sums it up best: “You have four years to be irresponsible here. Relax. Work is for people with jobs. You’ll never remember class time, but you’ll remember time you wasted hanging out with your friends. So, stay out late.

Go out on a Tuesday with your friends when you have a paper due Wednesday.

Spend money you don’t have. Drink ‘til sunrise. The work never ends, but college does...”

Take Petty’s words to heart, as I am struggling to do. There’s much more to enjoy about being a poor college student than people realize. Enjoy it while you can.

UIndy celebrates culture

University of Indianapolis observed the 22nd annual Celebration of the Flags on Oct. 7

By Jacki Dillman EDITOR IN CHIEF

The University of Indianapolis held its annual Celebration of the Flags Oct. 7 on Smith Mall.

This year’s celebration marked the 22nd annual flag ceremony for the UIndy campus. The ceremony offers international students an opportunity to share their culture with the campus community through a presentation of flags followed by a buffet of international cuisine appetizers.

From Albania to Zimbabwe, flags from all over the globe were displayed in honor of the UIndy students who hail from those countries.

Mimi Chase, the director of the international division, explained the importance of this annual ceremony.

Students showcase creativity

By Ashley Keihn ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR

Submissions for Etchings, the University of Indianapolis’ literary magazine are due on Oct. 15.

Etchings is an entirely student run operation that publishes annually.

Etchings is overseen by Associate Professor of English Elizabeth Weber and Assistant Professor of English Kevin McKelvey.

The publication includes fiction, non-fiction, poetry, art and photography submitted by students, faculty, staff and alumni.

Each issue contains 10 pieces of graphic art, three short stories, three essays and five poems totaling 10 pages.

Weber believes that Etchings serves a very important purpose on campus.

“I think it started out of a need for us [University of Indianapolis community] to share our work with each other… for people to have a forum for their work, to see it published, to see their work next to other people’s work,” Weber said.

Senior Melanie Orr, editor of Etchings, said that the process of putting the publication together and being a part of it is very rewarding, not only for the student staff but also the writers who submit.

“At first, I just needed the credits [from the class], but then I realized that it was something I wanted to do for the rest of my life,” Orr said. “There is nothing more rewarding than seeing your name in print, so submit, submit, submit.”

Weber also feels that the students in charge of Etchings have a great deal to learn and gain from the publication.

“The students who work on it get a chance to experience what it’s like to produce a literary fine arts journal,” she said.“It gives them really good life skills of having to decide what goes in something.

They design it. They do everything.”

The 2009 publication of Etchings received several awards at the Indiana Collegiate Press Association Conference held at Ball State University last April.

Etchings received Best Overall Design, Best Photographic Illustration and Best Hand-Drawn Illustration.

Submissions for Etchings can be sent via e-mail to uindyetchings@gmail.com.

Students are entitled to one free issue.

Additional issues after that will be $1 each.

Students can obtain copies by emailing Weber or McKelvey, or by stopping by the English department offices.

Representative from Falling Whistles sheds light on the war in the Democratic Republic of Congo

By Haley Vannarsdall FEATURE EDITOR

On Oct. 7, “Falling Whistles,” an organization comprised of individuals helping to seek peace in the Congo, visited the University of Indianapolis.

The United Nations Student Alliance, a club that simulates an actual U.N. General Assembly meeting at UIndy, was aware of this organization through President Beverly Pitts and decided it was something that needed attention.

According to speaker Sean Carasso, during the past decade, in a lesser known part of the world, the world’s largest and most deadly war wages, costing nearly six million lives, and 1,500 more daily. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, children are forced to the front lines, some of them not even big enough to carry a gun. These children are then forced to carry a whistle in hopes of scaring off the enemy. When they are shot and killed, their bodies form a blockade for other children with the guns to hide behind.

Two men deeply moved by the Congolese war took turns to speak about their personal experience on Oct. 7 in Schwitzer room 11.

Yves Muya was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo.When he was ten years old, he and his family were forced to flee their country in hopes of finding a safe haven from the violence. They escaped into Zambia, where they hoped to stay for only a year, but when things got worse, they had to stay longer.

Muya said that the only thing that got him through the tough times was, “the ability to dream in the midst of hopelessness and hunger.”

His father would ask his family what they hoped to be. Holding onto that, Muya said, “it was better to dream sometimes

than not to dream at all.”

After Zambia, they headed to Malawi to a refugee camp sponsored by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, where they were rationed one meal a day.

“I would lay out in a field and close my eyes and create dreams in my mind,” Muya said.

Muya was able to attend college, and his dream was to major in communication, because he wanted to change the media to also focus on situations in Africa. He applied for a scholarship at Claremont Colleges. After being told he would never receive the scholarship because of his refugee status, he defied the odds by winning it.

Muya flew out to Los Angeles looking for a place to stay and was referred by a friend to Sean Carasso, who had an internship position available.

Carasso was moved by Invisible Children, an organization seeking to end conflict and the use of children as soldiers in Uganda. He then wanted to do something about the situation in Uganda.

In northern Uganda, children were forced to leave their homes in the middle of the night and sleep side-by-side in a community center for their safety.

Carasso and his friends decided to start a protest and came up with the idea to leave their homes in the middle of the night and all sleep side-by-side together.

One month before the rally, he had recruited 4,000 people to participate but they needed more to make a difference.

In 2006, Facebook had just been created and with its help, 80,000 people showed up on the night of the rally.

A month later, the State Department started referring to the crisis in Uganda as an emergency. The next year, the State Department gave $20 million to the peace process in Uganda.

Casarro’s friend had started a project

out of a loft where for every pair of shoes bought, they would donate a pair to a child in need. Tom’s Shoes was founded, and Carasso was asked to go to South Africa for the shoe drop. He quit his job, packed his bags and boarded the plane.

“Connection is the currency that makes the world go round,”Carasso said.

He traveled to the Democratic Republic of Congo on what was supposed to be a short stop where he experienced the inspiration behind his current organization, Falling Whistles. He said he watched a camp beat and torture former boy soldiers, became friends with a young girl dying from AIDS and through this he endured so much tragedy his life would never be the same.

Carasso wrote a journal entry and forwarded it to the people he knew, who in turn forwarded it to people all around the world. The next morning, he woke up with responses flooding his e-mail, asking him what they could do to help.

After Carasso returned to the United States, he received a whistle from a friend and was asked to wear it around his neck.

He was told to make his voice his weapon and to tell the children’s story to all who asked about it.

They launched the campaign and started selling the whistles, giving 100 percent of the proceeds to rehabilitate and advocate for war-affected children.

“The differences were real, but the commonalities were overwhelming,” Carasso said.

Their Web site at fallingwhistles.com has information on the organization and how to make donations or purchase merchandise.

Senior and Secretary of the UN Student Alliance Nick Betzner expressed the importance of the event.

“I hope that students realize that normal people can make a large impact on the world.”

‘SHAME’

a new musical

OCTOBER 13, 2010

By Jacki Dillman EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Juniors Arianne Villareal and Andy Gipson rehearse lines for the upcoming debut of “Shame,” written by University of Indianapolis Associate Professor of Theatre Brad Wright and Associate Professor of Music Peter Schmutte. The musical’s preview is on Oct. 21 at 8 p.m.

From the pages to the stage

From left to right: Sophomore Alex Pierson, freshman Hannah Holmes, junior Arianne Villareal, sophomore Zach Cardwell and freshman Katelyn Smith rehearse songs for “Shame,” an original musical.

High school juniors across the United States read Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, but in October the University of Indianapolis will bring those characters to life in the form of a musical theatre production. “Shame,” a musical written by UIndy faculty members Associate Professor of Music Pete Schmutte and Associate Professor of Theatre Brad Wright, is an original interpretation of the 160-year-old story.

It is a musical rendition of the classic American literary tale of Hester Prynne, a woman shunned by her Puritan New England community when she has a baby out of wedlock.

Working on an original show has been a new experience for many who are involved. It has provided new challenges and opportunities for UIndy students.

“We were all a little nervous at first,” said junior Arianne Villareal, who plays

Hester Prynne.“This is the largest part I’ve ever had and the opportunity to originate a role is amazing.”

Associate Adjunct Professor Jen Alexander will direct the show. She describes the experience as very valuable for the students involved.

“They can create these characters with no preconception of how they should play the roles,”Alexander said.“They can really own what they are doing.”

Normally, when the university does a theatre production, the writer and composer aren’t present to guide and make suggestions as they are in this instance.

Both Alexander and Villareal described Schmutte and Wright’s presence in the process as valuable.

“Well, there is a lot more pressure to get things exactly right because I know they want their work to be represented well,” Villareal said. “But we really get

to know the intention behind the words and songs with them there, and that’s really helpful.”

Alexander had similar thoughts on the experience.

“How Brad, Pete and I all envision the show is totally different,” Alexander said.

“I think we are finding that it’s a lot about compromise and cooperation to make this a great show.”

Alexander also explained that the ability to tailor the show to their needs as the cast develops has been an asset to them.

“Usually, when you take on a script, it is pretty set in stone,” Alexander said.

“With this, we have the ability to make cuts and changes to make it work for us.”

“Shame” opens in Ransburg Auditorium on Oct. 22 with shows on Oct. 23, 24, 29 and 30. There will be a preview on Oct. 21 followed by a discussion of the show. L/P credit is available.

Peter Schmutte, David Blomquist and Doug Benge began work on a musical version of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter in the early 1980s. After a short run at a local Indianapolis theatre, the project was left on a forgotten shelf for more than 20 years.

Last fall, Schmutte, an associate professor of music at the University of Indianapolis, in conjunction with Brad Wright, associate professor in the UIndy theatre department, began to breathe new life into the project. Now, under the direction of Associate Adjunct Professor Jen Alexander, UIndy will present “Shame,” a new musical later this month.

Wright and Schmutte have taken the original script and music and reworked them almost completely. Wright tackled the rewrite of the script, while Schmutte focused on the musical composition.

“I really have my wife to thank for renewing my interests in the script. She mentioned it in a conversation with Jen [Alexander] and really lit the fire for the project,” Schmutte said.

Alexander was interested in pursuing “Shame” as this year’s theatre department musical, and Schmutte set out to rewrite the musical score.

“The music just sounded really dated.

We wrote this in the 1980s, and we used music that was popular at that time. It never really fit,” Schmutte said.

Schmutte wanted to use a more traditional music style that would help carry the plot along, mesh well with the period in which the story is set and not seem dated.

“My goal was to write a score that makes the audience leave whistling a tune,” Schmutte said. “It has to be music that the audience wants and enjoys hearing.”

Benge and Blomquist did not get involved in this renewed attempt to write the show, but in their stead, Wright took up the reigns and began to work on lengthening and reworking the script.

“It’s been a challenge making the imagery, and sentences that go on forever, theatrically viable,”Wright said.“We had to make what was conveyed in the novel through a narrative voice into speakable

dialogue.”

However, Wright said that as he read The Scarlet Letter to create the script, Hawthorne really captured him.

“There is a reason this novel is an American classic,” Wright said. “Hawthorne really hooked me as I started to read between the lines.”

Wright has expanded some of the minor characters in the novel into pivotal roles to advance the story.

“I created characters in the script that have become extremely important, showing the changing attitudes of the town,” Wright said. “We have to see the town react to Hester to understand the hypocrisy of her situation and to chart reactions to her.”

Schmutte and Wright agree that working together has had its challenges but has gone extremely smoothly overall.

“It’s been a joy working with both Brad [Wright] and Jen [Alexander],”Schmutte said.“We have all had to make concessions, but it’s been a really good experience for us all so far.”

>>This film features Holly (Katherine Heigl) and Eric ( Josh Duhamel), two people with a mutual dislike for each other, coming together to raise their goddaughter in the unlikely event that the parents have died. This movie has plenty of twists and a previously unseen variation on the plot where a couple gets together and has a baby. In this movie, the couple is given a baby first and they begin to grow on each other afterward.

Heigl and Duhamel pull off their roles rather convincingly and sell the situation well. At times, the film featured some explicit language that was not entirely appropriate or necessary in the scene. On the plus side, the movie is very fast-paced, and its humor is well-timed. However, it got a bit too dramatic toward the end, and it focused a bit more on Holly and Eric’s relationship than expected. “Life as We Know It” is rather funny and has its high points, but this movie might be best viewed by a young couple on a date.

>>Well-known novelist and music enthusiast Nick Hornby and singer/ song writer Ben Folds recently teamed up to release the album “Lonely Avenue,” and what was the result? Brilliance. The tracks are made relatable because most are written from a first-person point-ofview and read like a short story, which is a benefit of having a novelist become a lyricist. Ben Folds provides the melodies that bring the words to life. Each song definitely makes you feel, whether its laughter after listening to “Levi Johnston’s Blues” or “Working Day,” or the sadness after listening to “Picture Window” or “Claire’s Ninth.” The music ranges from old style piano ballads to upbeat snarky pop.The story telling quality adds a unique spin on pop music. Whether you are a fan of literary genius Nick Hornby or renowned musician Ben Folds, you won’t be disappointed with this album, because it mixes the best parts of storytelling and music to make an enjoyable, high-quality collaboration.

>>Sandella’s, located on North State Road 135 in Greenwood is a good place for a family looking for a different style of food that doesn’t empty their pockets.

Sandella’s isn’t your typical sub and salad restaurant. It offers a variety of healthy foods. Dinners include paninis, flatbreads, wraps, quesadillas, rice bowls and salads which are great if you are looking for something different or are in search of a light meal. They also have a variety of soups including tomato bisque and broccoli and cheddar, making it a great place to hide from the cold. The Buffalo Chicken Wrap is perfect for someone who likes a little bit of spice. They add buffalo wing sauce to give it the spicy taste, but then cool it down with bleu cheese. They also have a range of vegetarian meal options, such as the hummus wrap or the vegetable and provolone panini. Sandella’s is perfect for anyone trying to study or just have a nice, quiet night with friends or family. The atmosphere is very friendly, and workers are very nice.

>>Imagine living all of your formative years confined to an 11 by 11 room; No natural air, no grass between your feet, and little space to run and play. This is the life led by Jack, the five-year-old focus of “Room,” by Emma Donaghue. Told from Jack’s point-of-view and written in a childlike manner, the story is difficult to dive into, but the work is worth it. Jack and his mother are held by the menacing and demented “Old Nick,” who plays the twisted role of captor and provider for the family. The story picks up after the family escapes from their captor, and Jack finally experiences all that the world has to offer. While the pacing and odd format take a moment to adjust to at the start, and there are sections that are rather shocking, the novel has many redeeming qualities. The unique writing style reveals much about the plot and subtle interactions and is incredibly rewarding once the reader adapts to it. Skillfully told by the experienced Donaghue, this quick read is worth picking up.

Zumba workouts provide fun, fitness for UIndy students

By Haley Vannarsdall FEATURE EDITOR

The University of Indianapolis offers a fun, upbeat and innovative workout class, Zumba, every Wednesday at 9 p.m. on Smith Mall, although the location may change depending on the weather.

According to the Web site, www. zumba.com, Zumba was introduced to the United States in 1999 when creator Beto Perez brought it from Columbia. By 2005, the demand for Zumba instructors was at an all-time high, creating the need for the Zumba Academy, which is the educational division of Zumba fitness. It is now taught more than 60,000 locations, and in 105 countries.

Zumba incorporates Latin rhythms and easy-to-follow dance moves to create a hybrid workout of exercise and dance.

Zumba is an hour-long, free class that

provides water and towels to students who participate.

Last year UIndy had an instructor from the YMCA come in to teach the class once a month over the summer.

Junior JJ Starr became certified to teach Zumba and is now the instructor, offering the class once a week.

After buying the DVD set and working out with her mom, Starr decided she needed to be certified and bring the Zumba party to UIndy.

“I contacted Samantha Frye, recreation chair for Campus Program Board, during the summer since I had been dancing forever and found out I would be the instructor,” Starr said.

Students attend with their friends to relieve some stress and have fun while working out.

“I love dancing, but dancing to work out and with other people is great motivation to have fun and lose weight,” senior Ashley Stenger said. “I love the music

and the fact that the dance moves aren’t critical to know. They are easy to follow, and if you don’t understand, you can make up your own moves.”

After attending class, students can sign up for e-mails about where the location will be each week, because it is constantly changing.

“Two years ago, I attended a Residence Hall Association conference, and one of the sessions taught me how to Zumba.

Campus Program Board offered it last year, so I just kept up with it and even took classes over the summer,” Stenger said.

By incorporating international dance moves, participants gain a cultural experience they might not have elsewhere, along with the healthy benefits of working out.

“My favorite part about Zumba is that you don’t even realize you’re working out,” Starr said.

Students can sign up at the next class to receive e-mails and information about UIndy Zumba.

Beau Bristow performs at UIndy

By Ashley Keihn ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR

The heartfelt lyrics and unique guitar sounds of Beau Bristow flowed from UIndy Hall at the Homecoming Coffeehouse on Oct. 9.

Born in Alabama, the Nashville, Tennessee based 29-year-old musician has been playing music since he was five.

His mother, a pianist at his local church, sparked his interest in playing piano.

Then, at around age 12, he picked up his first guitar and has been playing ever since.

Songs like, ‘Sign Me Up,’ ‘Crazy and It’s All Your Fault,’ ‘Someone Tell Me Something’s Wrong,’ and ‘I’m Gonna Love’were played at the concert, and some students felt a connection to the music.

“In his song ‘Don’t get too close to me’ he talked about how he wants everyone to like him for who he is,” sophomore Emily Kish said. “I can relate to that because I am the same way and I’ve never heard of a song that could describe that so well.”

The Belmont University graduate was trained in classical guitar, the genre he plays most often.

However, Bristow said that he has many influences and sounds to his music.

“I grew up listening to artists like Derek Webb,The Normals and U2,”said Bristow.

“I always tell people that my music is a blend of Ryan Adams and Jason Mraz.”

The emotion and feeling put into his songs was helped by his natural stage presence and interaction with the audience.

“His stage presence was very comforting because he was very into his music, and it made me want to get more into it,” Kish said.

Bristow works with a non-profit organization, Mocha Club, an online community of people giving up the cost of two mochas a month, or $7, to fund relief and development projects in Africa, specifically in the war-torn regions of Sudan and the AIDS plagued countries in Southern Africa. The project helps to fund clean water, orphan care, HIV/ AIDS health care and education for child mothers and women at risk.

It’s a project that is very important to Bristow, one that he feels is worth giving up something in order to help others that are less fortunate than himself.

“I am good friends with one of the

founding members and recently started working with the non-profit organization,” Bristow said. “It’s an important organization. If all we have to do is give up two coffees a month, it’s really not that hard to help where we can.”

He even wrote a song that detailed the life of a 12-year-old girl, a victim of human trafficking, one that not only sparked emotion in the audience members but also in Bristow.

“I could just feel the emotion when he sang the song, you could see the power in his words as he sang them, his movements, his eyes and even the way he played guitar changed in a way that really conveyed the emotions. It made me want to get involved in the Mocha Club,” Kish said.

He stressed the importance of taking a look at life and finding out what matters most.

“One thing I think that people, especially college students, should do is take the time to weigh everything and to find out what life is all about,” Bristow said.

“I as an artist set out to understand life and to express it in my music. More than anything, my quest to understand life has been one of the most gratifying things.”

Students dance and work out to the sounds of Latin rhythms at Zumba sessions every Wed. night at UIndy.

The Hannah Mansion, just a short walk

from the University of Indianapolis campus, has been dogged by stories of hauntings for over a century. Billed as the only real haunted house in Indianapolis, the Hannah Mansion, more commonly known as the Hannah House, boasts a rich paranormal and American history.

The house has long been rumored to have been a secret stop on the Underground Railroad when it was under the care of its builder and original inhabitant, Alexander Hannah. Hannah, a prominent member of the Indianapolis community, and his wife, Elizabeth, occupied the house for 37 years until his death in 1895. Although Hannah seemingly left the house forever in 1895, witnesses throughout the years have reported that his ghost has appeared on the balcony and throughout the mansion.

Exorcist Priest or UIndy Professor?

UIndy Professor Ricardo Iman spills about his encounters with the possessed as a former exorcist priest

By Haley Vannarsdall FEATURE EDITOR University of Indianapolis Associate Adjunct Professor of Spanish Ricardo Iman was once an exorcist priest as part of the Mexico City Archdiocese. The Archdiocese included five men who studied cases of people claiming to be possessed by demons or satanic figures.

All of the men had degrees in medicine, psychology and parapsychology. Four of the men were theologists.

The population of Mexico City is 18 million, making it the second largest city in the world. However, in the six years that Iman worked in the diocese, he had only about 20 cases of possession, making the total about three to four cases a year.

Iman now believes that no one was under an actual satanic possession because every case, when treated with therapy, got better.

In order to prove a possession is real, and an exorcism is necessary, it must be proven that there is no medical proof or explanation.

“In one case, a woman could contort her neck and twist it around so that you could hear each bone in her neck cracking,” Iman said. “The explanation for this, we found later, was that she had extreme paranoia and schizophrenia.”

In some cases, the men had to walk as far as 12 miles to the secluded areas of Oaxaca and Chiapas in Mexico

to perform exorcisms.

“We [archdiocese] knew they weren’t sick.

They just needed therapy, which wasn’t practical given that they lived so far away. So I performed an exorcism just to make them feel better,” Iman said. “We know it’s fake, but we did it to all 30 people living there, so they would think they were healed.”

Iman also said that he rarely hears of possession happening in developed societies. He said that it mostly happens in poor countries where the media aren’t prevalent and in places where there is little communication with the outside world, which may cause mental problems. People then feel they are being possessed, because they have no external knowledge that mental disorders even exist.

“I don’t believe you can become possessed, because if you are a living temple of God, he’s always living through you. Therefore Satan cannot bring you down,” Iman said. “You would have to do a lot of bad things for demons to inhabit you.”

The old way of performing exorcisms was under the Roman Ritual, which is a lengthy process used to extract the demons from the possessed body, until Pope John Paul II restructured the ritual.

Graphic by MCT Campus

Iman explained that in a Catholic baptism, a person is given a small exorcism before he or she is renewed.

“In houses that were possessed, we would put ultrasounds on the walls and set up a lot of equipment,” Iman said. “The way we would explain these phenomena was that there were a lot of energies. And when you can provide a means to discharge these energies, they will go away.”

In one case, which actually took place in Indianapolis, a woman claimed to be possessed by Lucifer and was speaking in different languages.

So Iman asked his friends, who served as witnesses, to go to the nearest gas station, fill up a vial with water and then bring it back to him.

Iman then proceeded to talk to the woman in fluent Spanish. When she didn’t understand, he knew that she wasn’t actually possessed.

He then threw the water on the woman, and she yelled that she was melting and Lucifer was leaving her body.

Iman explained that in a lot of cultures, especially Native American, there are different rituals that are very similar to exorcisms.

“Exorcisms are for all cultures,” he said, “and they work.”

The room now commonly called grandma’s bedroom is said to be one of the most haunted areas of the house. Witnesses have reported the unexplained smell of cherry pipe tobacco, which Hannah was famous for smoking, as well as unexpected drafts of cold air felt while in the bedroom.

House manager Mary Cox said that the basement is probably where the most instances of experiences with the paranormal are reported in the Hannah House. A group of escaping slaves that Hannah was helping along the Underground Railroad were trapped in the basement during a fire.

Today, ghost hunters from across the country travel to the Hannah House in search of experiences with paranormal in the basement there. Audio recordings made in the basement have included unexplained whispers of “find me” and “help me.”

HIS EXPERIENCES

Senior Joey Hansell has been going on ghost hunts since he was in high school. He has participated in more than 20 hunts all around Indianapolis and Royal Center, Ind. “I got really into ghosts when I was a kid. It just fascinated me,” Hansell said.“ It’s just interesting that in one way it kind of shows that there are forms of existence after you pass on. Also I kind of just have a curiosity.”

Hansell has gone on ghost hunts with different groups like the Indiana Ghost Doctors, but prefers to go on hunts with a group of friends that share his interest. Tape recorders and digital recorders are some tools that he uses, but his tools of choice are his own senses.

“If you don’t have the equipment you see on TV, you can just use your eyes and ears and you can experience it,” Hansell said. “You’ll see things and hear things and those are the basic tools.”

Some ghosts, if you come looking for them, won’t show up. Others, want your attention, so they’ll make noises, or you’ll hear a whisper in your ear or see something.

We’ve had multiple different experiences. We’ve heard voices. We’ve seen things. We’ve taken pictures and seen orbs, which a lot of paranormal investigators say are spirits. We’ve had strange mists.

We’ve had some interesting things that we’ve recorded. We went to an old friend’s house and asked “What do you want us to do?” and on the tape recording you hear, “Get out.” It was pretty interesting. Whoever it was, was not happy we were there.

One time, a person did get possessed. It was more like a partial possession. We were out to this cemetery known for a demonic presence. It was known for cultists and devil worshippers going there.

We usually try to avoid these areas, but with this one, we weren’t warned ahead of time about some of the demonic spirits. So we went there and what happened was we were investigating, and one of the people who came with us started getting a cold chill.

We just kept walking and figured there was a presence nearby. Suddenly, my friend started feeling sick and started acting weird. Some possessions aren’t like what you see on the Exorcist—you’ll feel very sick and very drained just like you’re going to pass out. I call this one a partial possession, because he was aware in some form, he was possessed, because he just kept feeling emotions that weren’t his or thinking things that weren’t his thoughts. It wasn’t demonic, though. Apparently, someone was killed at the cemetery. He kept getting the feeling of trying to escape and trying to warn us, and we kept feeling like we were being watched while he was under possession. We decided to investigate more, and that’s when it got a little creepy. We started hearing strange noises, like growls. You could feel something bad was there the farther we went in. So right when we were about to leave, we heard this really loud noise and recorded it on our tape recorder and did a playback and decided we needed to get out of there because it was getting a little bit more active.

As we left, we started hearing more footsteps in the grass moving faster toward us. We hurried up and left, and the guy who was with us who got partially possessed – he felt relieved that we had left and that we had gotten out of the area as fast as we could. I would like to go back there, yet don’t want to, because I don’t know what to expect.

“

“

HAUNTED CAMPUS

I’d like to investigate Esch Hall and Good Hall. Also, a lot of people have told us there’s a spirit of a woman in Ransburg, and we’ve had things happen while working on theatre sets that make it seem like there’s a presence there. We’ve been told that it’s the spirit of a woman who likes playing tricks on people, who will come up and tug on your clothes, which has happened to me before a few times. I’ve been pushed once, and stuff has been moved around. In the basement of Esch Hall, apparently there are shadow people. Some people have a theory that they are evil spirits. A former student told me she was downstairs in the theatre department after midnight and saw a dark beam where the dressing rooms and scene shop used to be. She saw it, and it started coming toward her, so she ran for the elevator and shut the door. As soon as she reached the elevator and the doors closed, she heard a scream and a bang against the door.

The second place is Good Hall. From what I’ve heard, that used to be the old medical and nursing school on campus, and they used to store the cadavers in the basement. Last year, when a paranormal investigator came here, she took a group of us down there, and there were too many people. But I kept getting a residual of a person walking up and down the hallway in the basement area. From what she told us, spirits are either drawn to the basement or the highest floor of a building.

“

HIS ADVICE

“

Keep an open mind. When you keep an open mind, you’re more open to experiencing paranormal activity. Be careful what locations you explore. Make sure you research the area, because you don’t know what you could get into.

McIlvried named first dean of grad school

Hybrid courses offer flexibility in scheduling

Partial online and partial in-class courses to be offered starting second semester

By Sam Stage STAFF WRITER

Photo contributed by John McIlvried

John McIlvried advises two students while acting as dean of the school of psychological sciences. McIlvried recently left that position to become the first dean of the graduate school.

By Jacki Dillman EDITOR-IN-CHIEF The University of Indianapolis appointed its first dean of the graduate school on Sept. 1. John McIlvried accepted the position and will function as dean while continuing in his capacity as associate provost. McIlvried previously has held the position of dean of the school of psychological sciences.

“I think his skill will translate extremely well into his new position,” said Tyronn Bell, associate professor in the school of psychological sciences.

Bell worked with McIlvried while he was dean of the school of psychological sciences prior to his new role.

Jackie Hess, assistant professor in the school of psychological sciences, also spoke highly of McIlvried’s skill.

“He has just the right skill set for this job,” Hess said. “He can take many perspectives and ideas and make them work cohesively.”

The graduate school was officially formed in 2009, uniting all of the UIndy

graduate degree programs, which were until then functioning as separate entities. According to McIlvried, although the different graduate units will still have independence, the formation of the graduate school and the creation of the dean’s position will act to simplify procedures and allow wisdom to be shared among all programs.

“We’ve streamlined some graduate program procedures. We now have an online grad application, so that all 10 programs won’t have to do applications separately,” McIlvried said.

Additionally, McIlvried was hopeful that all graduate programs could learn and grow together, through sharing the wisdom they have accrued separately over the years.

“Because the programs have grown up separately, they all have different knowledge to share with the combined group,” McIlvried said.

As dean of the graduate school, McIlvried also hopes to establish support systems for graduate students both through organized representation at the school and monetary support.

“Although its not a done deal, I

would like to form a Graduate Student Council,” McIlvried said. “It would be student-driven and probably include interface with ISG[Indianapolis Student Government]. Graduate students need to have a voice on campus.”

Some of McIlvried’s goals for his new position include establishing a meeting with all units, to promote coexistence and cooperation and working out kinks in the online graduate application so that it functions effectively.

He also plans to provide leadership in regard to establishing new programs as well as strengthening alumni relations.

“Alumni are some of the best spokesmen for the school. They can create good will, and their accomplishments promote the programs to prospective students,” he said.

McIlvried would like to establish an alumni award of some kind as a step toward strengthening UIndy’s relationship with its graduate school alumni.

UIndy currently offers 27 masters degrees and five doctoral degrees, and McIlvried is optimistic about the graduate school’s continued growth and progress.

The University of Indianapolis will begin offering students hybrid classes next semester that will be partially in-class and partially online.

Students currently are able to take only enhanced classes or online classes.

Enhanced classes are the in-class traditional courses.

Hybrid classes allow students to get teacher interaction and also do part of their course online.

In a class that meets five days a week, hybrid classes may allow students to go to class only on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and do online classes on Tuesday and Thursday.

This not only gives students a break from the classroom but also can build flexibility into their schedules.

Another benefit of hybrid classes is that they open up the possibility of even more one-on-one interaction with the professors.

According to Assistant Professor of Modern Languages Amy Allen-Sekhar, she can be there almost as a private tutor for her students.

Professors are in their offices during online class times if students need more personal attention.

Since the transition from Blackboard to ACE is taking full effect this spring, this is the first time UIndy has ever had the opportunity to allow hybrid classes.

Teachers are currently participating in tutorial sessions on how to successfully run their hybrid classes.

Allen-Sekhar is one of the few professors who already is using this program.

This semester is a trial run for her French 201 class, which meets Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and has an online class on Tuesdays.

“You have to ensure that you are communicating with the students,” AllenSekhar said.

In her online classes, she takes traditional PowerPoint presentations and enhances them with tools and ways for students to interact.

Most people think online equals boring, but it doesn’t have to be,” she said.

Her PowerPoint presentations record her own voice, so that students can still feel they are learning from her versus learning from the computer.

Notes can be made on the slides themselves that walk students through the material.

She also offers worksheets for students to complete online and print out to bring to class the next day.

For collaboration, Allen-Sekhar has her class work on a Wiki page about a novel they are reading. The Wiki page is much like a Wikipedia page in that anyone in the group is able to add and edit it.

The class is divided into two groups, and each week, all group memALLEN-SEKHAR bers are required to add to it.

Another tool that Allen-Sekhar uses is called “voice thread.” Students are able to play the video or audio offered by the professor, and then pause it at the exact moment that there is any confusion and leave a comment or question.

Then, they are able to continue on through the rest of the Voice thread document.

This way, professors can see exactly where the student is struggling and what he or she needs to cover in the next class meeting.

Sophomore Lola Sanuth, a student in Allen-Sekhar’s French 201 class, found this device to be most helpful, as she often has the same questions as others.

“You can see everyone else’s questions and create discussions and forums,” Sanuth said. “It’s really helpful.”

HOMECOMING HEARTBREAK

The Northwood University Timberwolves attempted to make a field goal in the fourth quarter during the University of Indianapolis’ homecoming game on Oct. 9 at Key Stadium. The Greyhounds were defeated by the Timberwolves with a final score of 31-24.

By Jason Newhouse STAFF WRITER With a homecoming crowd of over 5,000 fans, the University of Indianapolis Greyhounds (3-3, 2-3) fell to the Northwood University Timberwolves(3-3, 3-2) with a 31-24 loss on Oct. 9.

The Greyhounds scored first after freshman running back Klay Fiechter broke loose and ran 80 yards for a touchdown towards the end of the first quarter.

It was the longest run by a running back in the conference since Joique Bell of Wayne State ran for a 90-yard score in Key Stadium back in 2007. It also accounted for 80 of the 89 rushing yards by the Greyhounds throughout the game.

Northwood answered back in the second quarter after sophomore quarterback Aaron Shavers ran 11 yards into the end zone to tie the game 7-7.

Northwood put 10 more points on the scoreboard in the second quarter to lead UIndy at halftime 17-7. One of those scores included a fumble recovery in the Greyhound end zone for a touchdown. It was UIndy’s first lost fumble of the season.

The Greyhounds converted a Nate Jackson interception in the third quarter into three points to pull within ten of the Timberwolves 17-10.

The interception was the ninth for UIndy this year, which ranks third in the conference in that category. Two of those were made by junior defensive back Colin Coffer last week.

“Everybody’s more confident and taking opportunities and chances,” Coffer said, “because we have more confidence in ourselves and our scheme.”

Freshman quarterback Chris Mills came in to replace junior Rob Doyle in the second half and jump-started a stagnanted UIndy offense. Doyle had missed the previous two games with a shoulder

injury. After another score by Shavers to put Northwood up by 14, Mills connected with sophomore wide receiver Mar’Quone Edmonds from 38 yards to pull within seven. It was Edmonds’, the team leader in receptions, fourth touchdown of the season after scoring three all of last year.

“Last year, I was a freshman and I didn’t really speak up a lot,”Edmonds said before the Northwood game.“I don’t really speak up this year either. It’s just making yourself known in practice.”

Northwood scored on their next drive as Shavers found Donny Knoll on the corner of the goal line for a 22-yard touchdown pass.

Then Mills took the Greyhounds 75 yards in 43 seconds on their next possession before he connected with junior wide out Ryan Forney for a 16-yard score. The Greyhounds found themselves down by seven once again with 1:34 left on the clock.

After a Northwood three-and-out, the

Greyhounds had a little over a minute to drive 85 yards for the tying touchdown.

Mills found his freshman teammate Fiechter twice and senior wide receiver and punter Tyran Fakes to get down to the 20-yard line with five seconds left.

On the final play of the game, Mills looked for Fiechter on the sideline but the pass fell short and the Greyhounds fell to a 3-3 on the season.

Northwood rushed the ball 58 times for 278 yards while Mills completed 17 of 28 passes in the second half for 309 yards and two touchdowns.

It was the second time in three weeks that opposing teams have rushed the ball over 50 times for over 250 yards. Seven different players ran the ball for the Timberwolves.

“Not a lot of sleep this week,” head coach Bob Bartolomeo said. “You really have two days to prepare for an option football team that’s very, very unique in terms of their offense.”

On Oct. 2, the Greyhounds running game revived itself while the defense created four turnovers as UIndy beat the University of Findlay Oilers 20-3 on a cold, rainy day in Ohio.

The Greyhounds scored what eventually became the game winner on the first drive of the ball game. With Doyle still recovering from a shoulder injury, Mills made his second consecutive start and drove the offense 80 yards on its first possession to put UIndy up 7-0. Mills completed four of his first five passes on the drive before junior Paul Corsaro stepped in behind center and scored on a one-yard touchdown run.

On the next drive, the Oilers took the ball into Greyhound territory and scored for the first and only time with a 41-yard field goal. The final score was 20-3.

The Greyhounds have a two game road trip in Michigan, beginning with Saginaw Valley, at 12 p.m. on Oct.16, and Northern Michigan on Oct. 23 at 1 p.m.

RUNAWAY MCBRIDE UIndy alumna Lyndsay McBride is a finalist for the NCAA Woman of the Year award

By Alexis Mitchell STAFF WRITER

By Jason Newhouse STAFF WRITER On Oct. 17 at the Indiana Convention Center, nine female student-athletes will gather as finalists for one of the most prestigious awards a collegiate athlete can receive. Former University of Indianapolis student and golfer Lyndsay McBride is one of those women.

McBride has been nominated to receive the NCAA Woman of the Year Award.

The award is given annually to graduating female athletes who give outstanding performances athletically, academically and in the community.

“The Woman of the Year Award uniquely gives us the opportunity to honor a group of outstanding female student-athletes who perform at high levels in collegiate athletics while also making significant contributions to their communities and achieving remarkable academic success,” said Karen Morrison, NCAA director of gender initiatives, in an NCAA press release.

McBride’s resume includes being named the 2010 GLVC Women’s Golfer of the Year and the 2009 NCAA Division II individual women’s golf national champion. McBride also excelled academically and helped co-found a not-for-profit scholarship program overseas.

“If you look at Lyndsay McBride, she’s excelled at all three levels,” said Athletics Director and Associate Professor of Kinesiology Sue Willey.

Along with the Golfer of the Year honor and the 2009 national championship, McBride won three tournaments her senior year, setting the school record for the lowest single-season scoring average at 76.0. The Greyhounds made two trips to the NCAA championships during her career at UIndy, and she was named as a National Golf Coaches Association AllAmerican twice.

“I improved ten-fold in college, and before I went to college, I never thought I would continue on to try to go pro,” McBride said.

Academically, McBride was a double major in visual communication design and fine arts.The area of art that she focused on was assemblage, the art of putting together found objects in a three-dimensional composition.

The art department continues to displays her artwork. She also graduated with a 3.84 GPA. She won two straight GLVC Women’s Golf Scholar Athlete of the Year Awards.

She was a National Golf Coaches Association All-American Scholar four times, and her contributions helped the Greyhounds, earn the top GPA in women’s golf in all divisions of collegiate play.

The University of Indianapolis women’s cross-country team placed 27th out of 41 at the 38th annual Sean Earl Loyola Lakefront Invitational on Oct. 2.

“With bad weather, pelting rain and terrible wind gusts over 40 mph, and a meet with over 400 runners this year, the meet overall went fairly well,”Kathy Casey, the head coach of cross-country said.

The meet at the Lakefront Invitational consisted of 500 women. According to Casey, the team’s goals at the meet were to continue to run in nice packs throughout the course, to continue to run as they do in practice and to meet personal goal times.

Placing 105th with a time of 19:24, sophomore Stephanie Cave, had the top time for the UIndy’s women cross-country team. Fourteen seconds behind Cave was freshman Sutton Knapp, placed 139th with a time of 19:38.

“Our team has outstanding chemistry,” Knapp said.“This meet was very challenging, but with the power and strength our team put forth, we did well for such an enormous meet, and we finished strong.”

Casey also mentioned that the UIndy women kept running the paces at which they intended, despite the large number of runners.

“Momentum was used during the downhill transitions, which made passing the other runners and running quicker more efficient,” Casey said.

According to Casey, there was intense competition at this meet, but the team still prevailed.

“A lot of people stepped up…We had really nice packs. Our women had a strong mentality. They were extremely focused,” Casey said.

On Sept. 17, the women’s crosscountry team took first place at the annual Indiana Intercollegiate Cross-Country Championships at Purdue University.

“Our goal for that meet was three to four runners in the top 20. Actually, five women placed in the top 20. We met our team goals,” Casey said.

The UIndy women triumphed over the other non-Division I teams from around Indiana at the Cross-Country Championships.

Sophomore Katherine Wilhelm finished in 10th place on the 5K course with a time of 19:46. Finishing about three minutes after Wilhelm was Knapp, who placed 11th. Cave finished in 15th with a time of 19:59. Katie Boester took 16th place, and rounding out the top 20 for the UIndy cross-country team was freshman Haley Wittig who placed 19th.

“As a team, we will continue to get out well and keep moving through groups,” Casey said.“I have great faith and expectations in the UIndy women’s cross-country team this year, and I know we will finish strong as a team throughout our upcoming meets.”

Women’s soccer sets sights on conference

By Bob Helfst DISTRIBUTION MANAGER Members of the University of Indianapolis women’s soccer team agree that returning to the 2010 conference tournament is a team priority.

“Every time we step on the field now we’re fighting to prove that we can get in the conference tournament, we can win the conference tournament and we can go to the NCAA tournament because that’s where we belong with the talent and the players we have,” said junior back Libby Anderl, one of the team captains.

UIndy defeated University of IllinoisSpringfield 2-1 on Oct. 10. An early goal by freshman midfielder Kaitlyn Braunig put the Greyhounds ahead by one.

Braunig was assisted on the goal by junior midfielder Lauren Soza and freshman forward Nicole Duncan.

The Prairie Stars responded with their own goal early in the second half.

Soza scored a goal in the 81st minute to secure a late lead and the win for the Greyhounds. Duncan and Braunig assisted on the play. Junior goalkeeper Shae Morris had two saves for the day.

“We came into the game knowing that it was a must-win for us and so we were going to do anything and everything we

could to leave with that win,” Anderl said.

“We could not leave without it.”

The victory over Illinois-Springfield advanced the Greyhound record to 3-72 overall and 3-5-2 in conference play.

UIndy fell 3-0 to No. 6 Grand Valley State University (8-1-1) on Sept. 28. The defending national champions in Division II tallied two goals early in the 22nd and 28th minutes. Sophomore goalkeeper Danielle Bennett was in goal for the game’s full 90 minutes, saving 14 goals total. The Greyhounds had three shots on goal with freshman forward Nicole Duncan providing two.

“It’s a different ballgame when we play them [GVSU]. We play that game for a different reason. To be the best you have to play against the best,” Head Coach Geoff VanDeusen said. “I think we went in with a great mindset, but if you don’t go in clicking on full cylinders against them it’s going to be a difficult task.”

The Greyhounds recovered and earned their second win of the season by defeating the Lewis University Flyers (4-5-0, 4-4-0 GLVC) 2-0 on Oct. 1. Junior midfielder Morgan Binder scored the first goal for UIndy off a free kick in the 70th minute.

Duncan tacked on the second point a few minutes later.

“Tying that game and beating Lewis gives us confidence going into our last couple games,” Anderl said.

UIndy played No.12 University of Wisconsion-Parkside (9-1-1, 8-0-1 GLVC) to 0-0 tie in double overtime on Oct. 3, becoming the first team to hold the Rangers this season. Morris had nine saves for the day, including a diving save in the 100th minute to stop a Parkside breakaway. She was in goal for the entirety of the 110 minute game.

“These next games our team is going to step up and really give it everything they have,” VanDeusen said . “They’re going to do it together. They play for each other, which is fantastic.”

UIndy lost 1-0 to the Quincy University Hawks (8-1-3, 6-0-3 GLVC) on Oct. 8. The Greyhounds were unable to hold the ball for long and had no shots on goal. Morris had 11 saves for the day.

“We’re fighting for our lives right now,” Braunig said. “Every game we’re playing right now we’re playing to win. We just have to go out there with the attitude that we have to bring home some wins.”

The Greyhounds face two conference rivals at home this weekend – the Drury Panthers (5-6-2, 3-5-1 GLVC) and the Rockhurst Hawks (7-3-1, 5-2-1 GLVC) on Oct. 15 and Oct. 17, respectively.

“It’s exciting to play Drury and Rockhurst at home; it’s a long trip for them,” said Anderl. “For them to be on the road is an opportunity for us to take advantage of that.”

Team unity sparks success on court Greyhound volleyball team wins their fifth consecutive game

By Sam Stage STAFF WRITER

The University of Indianapolis volleyball team (14-6, 6-2) won its fifth consecutive game after defeating the Screaming Eagles of the University of Southern Indiana (10-7, 5-3 ) on Oct. 9.

The UIndy volleyball team also broke the two way tie for second place in the Great Lakes Valley Conference standings with their win against the University of Southern Indiana.

Junior outside hitter Kristina Hefferan led the team with fifteen kills and senior outside hitter Lyndsay Callahan dug thirteen kills of the Screaming Eagle’s hits.

Sophomore middle-hitter Kristina Kerrigan had 13 kills out of the 52 total

kills in the game.

The Greyhounds finished the match up with a close score of 25-22 in the third set.

Sophomore opposite hitter Kourtney Crawford believes that teamwork has been the driving force behind the team’s success.

“We’re all playing as a team…we’re a lot more comfortable with one another.

It makes a big difference,” Crawford said.

According to sophomore middle hitter Amber Lucas the team is well on their way through their season, and the time spent together is reflecting in their play. “[The team] is playing together as one unit, one team. We’re all on the same page and all working towards the same goal,” Lucas said.

The Greyhounds faced the Kentucky Wesleyan Panthers (5-9, 0-7) for their homecoming game on Oct. 8 in the Ruth Lilly Fitness Center.

The Greyhounds began the match with several shanked passes and the Panther’s hits kept them down at 6-1.

UIndy’s senior setter Cheneta Morrison, put away a line drive and added six kills to the Greyhound’s success against the Panthers.

Kerrigan assisted the team with nine kills through the game and junior middle hitter Courtney Anglemyer had nine kills and two block assists.

Also, freshmen setter Jaymee Reynolds

had 36 recorded assists.

Callahan assisted the team with 13 digs.

The Greyhound’s served six aces and had 44 kills to keep a victory out of the reach of Kentucky Wesleyan.

With the overall score of 25-15, 1513, and 25-14 the UIndy volleyball team has now won 15 straight sets.

“It was a good win for the whole team,” Lucas said. “We love our fans, and we like playing at home so much.”

The UIndy Greyhounds will compete in the Annual Volleyball Crossover, a tournament in which the Greyhounds will face two non-conference teams that have yet to be announced. The tournament will take place on Oct. 15 and Oct. 16.

According to Lucas,the Greyhounds will be matched up with new competition and will bring more challenge to the team.

Crawford also said the preparation for this tournament is no different than for any other game; the Greyhounds will prepare themselves to play at the best of their abilities.

“We have practice all week and we’ll watch film…we just come to practice ready to play and focus on what we do,” Crawford said.“No game is a ‘big game,’ they’re all big games.”

Men’s cross-country overcomes set-backs

By Kellie Donnelly EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

The University of Indianapolis men’s cross country team has competed in four meets this season and has two more to run for the Great Lakes Valley Conference to prepare regional meets.

The Greyhounds traveled to Chicago for the Sean Earl Lake Front Invitational on Oct. 2. The men placed 22nd of 41 teams. Individually, sophomore Mark Martinez led the team with a 36th place finish and junior Samuel Bird followed at 93rd place.

The men placed fifth of 15 at the annual Indiana Intercollegiates Cross-Country

important for the Greyhounds as they will help decide team rankings before entering the postseason.

Martinez commented on how they hope to be regionally ranked before the postseason arrives, and he was hopeful that the team would continue to overcome their injuries and have strong individual performances.

“I would also like to see the team run some faster times and place well to give everyone the motivation to do well at conference and regionals as a team,” Bird said. “The team going to nationals would be the ultimate goal for us this year.”

Before this goal, however, comes conference and regionals. The conference tournament is an 8K race held between the 12 participating GLVC schools with

cross-country teams.

Current individual leaders in the GLVC at the 8K distance include runners from five different schools.

“Conference is one of our most competitive meets, not just because it is a big race but because it decides what school is the best in the conference,” Bird said.

Last year, the Greyhounds placed fourth in the GLVC tournament and moved on to regionals. At regionals, they failed to make the top five as a team, which ended their season. According to Martinez this season, men’s cross-country team hopes to make the top five and have a shot at the national title.

The GLVC conference meet is on Nov. 6. The regional meet will follow on Nov. 20.

of the season, the men suffered back-toback losses to Northern Kentucky and Bellarmine universities. They bounced back with a 2-1 win over Saint Joseph’s University on Sept. 24.

“We stand a good chance of being one of the eight teams to play in the tournament if we continue to use our technical abilities to our advantage,” Franco said.

The majority of UIndy’s goals have come from ball movement out the back.

The ball often touches four or five players before it finds the back of the net and only a few have been scored from individuals on set pieces.

“We have a lot of talent on the team this year and we have great depth on our roster,” Franco said. “If we use our ability to move the ball on the ground and all around the field, then we are as good as, or better than, most teams in the GLVC.” Some challenges include four of their six remaining games on the road and the lack of tournament experience among the younger players. The team currently has only two seniors and six juniors on their 25-man roster.

“We might be a young team, but we aren’t one that is lacking in experience; we returned 10 starters from last year,” Tanoury said.

Tanoury added that the strengths of the team include team chemistry and the belief that they are one of the best teams in the conference.

“Just about anybody on the field is a dangerous player with the ability to score at will,” Tanoury said. “We defend as a team and have been playing great soccer as a unit.”

The team finished conference play at Maryville University and Missouri S&T the following weekend. All remaining games are crucial for tournament rankings and home field advantage.

“We must take the rest of the season one game at a time,” Franco said. “As long as we continue to play well as a team, we should do well in the GLVC.” The Greyhounds will host two conference rivals, Drury University and Rockhurst University, on Oct. 15 and Oct. 17 respectively.

Despite these obstacles, the team rallied together to support and encourage each other.

“Our biggest accomplishment as a team I think has been overcoming the adversity our team has had to go through with injuries and other issues,” Bird said. “We all really stuck together and kept on encouraging everyone to stay on stuff and getting the job done no matter what.”

The University of Indianapolis men’s soccer team is off to a 6-4 start in the Great Lakes Valley Conference as they enter the second half of the season and prepare for the conference tournament at the end of October.

UIndy netted two goals in the first half to edge University of Illinois-Springfield 2-1 on Oct. 10. Sophomore midfielder Max Marsh found the goal in the 10th minute and sophomore forward Roger Lee tallied the second goal in the 26th minute. The Greyhounds held the Prairie Stars to only one second half goal. Junior goalkeeper Justin Roberts had two saves in the Greyhound victory.

UIndy’s record now stands at 6-5-0 overall and 6-4-0 in GLVC play.

UIndy defeated Quincy University 1-0 with a last-minute goal in double overtime on Oct. 8. Junior midfielder Ryan Schmidt scored the lone goal with 21 seconds left on the clock.

The Greyhounds lost 1-2 to GLVC foe University of Wisconsin-Parkside on Oct. 3. Three Greyhound players went down with serious injuries. One player sprained his ankle and will miss two weeks of the season while another player broke his tibia and will sit the rest of the season.

With over six minutes left in the game, a third player was tackled by Parkside’s goalie and taken away in an ambulance due to a broken tibia and fibula. He was rushed to ankle surgery and will also sit the rest of the season. Senior Will Tanoury scored the UIndy goal off a penalty kick. The men suffered a 0-2 loss to Lewis University on Oct. 1, currently ranked first in the GLVC, made it to the NCAA final four last season.

The Oct. 1 game was the first in-conference loss at Key Stadium for UIndy.
