Campus adapts to parking issues

By Kylee Crane MANAGING EDITOR

With the addition of the largest freshman class in the University of Indianapolis’ history and the loss of a big parking lot, the university had to create and implement a parking plan to fit the needs and desires of students, faculty, staff and guests.

UIndy has acquired and created alternative parking such as two gravel lots across from the baseball diamonds on National Ave., the old Shelby Bowl parking lot, a gravel lot across from Esch Hall on Hanna Ave. and parallel spots along Windermere behind the residence halls. Parallel parking will be added to the side of Campus Apartments within the next few weeks, and Calvary Christian Church on Keystone also has opened its parking lot for UIndy students, faculty, staff and visitors.

“We needed a remote place for parking because, again, we did not have enough space for parking and so that was the

first time we ever partnered with them [Calvary Christian Church],” said Vice President of Student and Campus Affairs and Dean of Students Kory Vitangeli. “We are fortunate that they have a lot of parking over there and were happy to share it with us for graduation.

When we decided to run a shuttle, I called them and told them our situation, and they said absolutely to allowing us to use their parking again.”

The shuttle runs from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and makes constant loops from the church lot to the bell tower in front of Ransburg on campus. Vitangeli said that despite the convenience of the shuttle service, it is under used.

“There has never been a time when all the parking has been taken on campus, so there’s always parking on campus, there’s just not always convenient parking. If someone doesn’t see a spot outside right where they want to be, they feel like we don’t have enough parking,” Vitangeli said. “I wish people who can’t find their spot close would take advantage of the shuttle, because it’s extremely

UIndy has began adapting to parking issues by creating a new shuttle system and acquiring alternative parking. convenient, it makes constant loops to the bell tower and the people that are using it have been very complimentary about the drivers, the service and how quick it is.”

Director of Facility and Space Planning Andrea Newsom’s focus is not only on new development of projects such as the Health Pavilion, other redevelopment and construction on campus, but also to work

in conjunction with the Physical Plant and Vitangeli to focus on ways to expand parking options in the long term.

Newsom explained that the current parking situation is efficient, but that they are constantly evaluating parking and looking at what the next steps will be once the Health Pavilion is finished.

“We’re certainly looking to add

[parking] for the sake of convenience and access, and what we have now from a numbers standpoint appears to be working. But I recognize that there is always room for improvement. It really is about sufficient access for students, faculty, staff and visitors, because we’re an open campus,” Newsom said.

Some of the ideas discussed for additional parking in the future include the addition of large surface lots and a parking garage.

While the parking adjustments may have added some strain to students, faculty and staff, Newsom said that the overall project is the main reason she came here and that it will be beneficial for both the university and community.

“The Health Pavilion is one of those projects that will have such an impact on the campus and the University Heights neighborhood, so I’m really excited to see this project grow and anchor the campus,” Newsom said. “It’s really a great opportunity for continuing the great work the university has done, and some of those goals and ideals are why I came here.”

T h e relationship between the University of Indianapolis and the University Heights neighborhood is continuing to develop. In recent years, the two groups have partnered to work on several projects together and are planning to do more in the upcoming year.

According to chair of social sciences and treasurer of the University Heights Neighborhood Association Jim Pennell, one of the continuing projects is made possible by Keep Indianapolis Beautiful.

The three tree plantings have involved UIndy students, faculty and University Heights neighbors.The group has planted more than 130 trees, including the trees in front of President Manuel’s house and the Stierwalt Alumni House, according to Pennell.

This led to another project for the two groups. Made possible by a Green Space Grant from Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, a new community park is being built at the corner of Edwards and Matthews avenues. Pennell is hopeful that students from the university will come to help work on developing the park.

“We’re hoping a lot of students will turn out for the Super Saturday of Service,” Pennell said. “We’re one of the sites students can volunteer for.”

The park also will house a shelter that will be available for use by the UIndy community, as well as the University

Heights neighborhood. Pennell said that how the shelter will be available for rent is not yet certain, but that a plan will be put in place when the shelter is constructed.

A long-term project would involve putting in sidewalks on the streets that are lacking them for students who walk to their school on Asbury Street. “. . . They walk either on Lawrence and Asbury, or Lawrence and State, and none of those streets have sidewalks, ” Pennell said.

New member of the neighborhood Jeri Warner, said that she enjoys living next to UIndy.

“One of the neighborhoods I looked at when I was moving was this neighborhood, because I knew [the] president supports community development,” Warner said.

“So I thought that that was a good sign that the community would improve, rather than decline.”

As a further sign of cooperation, the University Heights Neighborhood Association holds its bimonthly meetings in the Stierwalt Alumni House.The most recent meeting was held on Sept. 16.

On the agenda was the neighborhood’s preparation for the university’s 2014 homecoming.

Along with inviting UIndy students to attend the bimonthly neighborhood meetings, Pennell also suggested ways to keep the relationship between the neighborhood and the school positive.

The next Universit y Heights Neighborhood Association meeting will be held in November.

beliefs but instead to bring them all together to help bring down barriers that society has put around them. The group is not at all afraid to tackle controversial issues. Mitiche explained that one of the topics that the group will be facing is the Israel/Palestine situation.

“One of the downfalls of other interfaith groups is that it [the group] can turn into people just getting together and patting themselves on the back,” Mitiche said.

“O ur goal is to address the hardest, most controversial, an most important questions, and we think it [Israel/ Palestine] is one of them.”

The group is not limited to any certain groups or systems of believes.

Both Traver and Mitiche expressed that the group was not built only for major religions. It encourages people from all

faith background to attend, but they do not even limit the group there.They also hope to have atheists, agnostics, humanist and other non-religious followers to attend as well, because they believe that in such talks that these people often are excluded.

Traver and Mitiche have high expectations for the group. They want UIndy Interfaith to be a group where real growth can happen among all the members who attend meetings. They also hope that this can help spread knowledge and understanding across barriers, to educate the entire campus.

The team believes that they have all of the necessary tools to make significant changes on campus.

Although the group does not yet have a calendar of events set,Traver and Mitiche said that anyone seeking information about interfaith or the programs that it offers can go to the Ecumenical and Interfaith Programs office located in the Schwitzer Student Center. Anyone interested also can follow them at UIndy Interfaith on Facebook.

Interfaith brings faiths together

By Robbie Hadley BUSINESS MANAGER

The University of Indianapolis is home to many different cultures from across the world. With many different ideologies on campus, it is easy to get caught up in one’s own beliefs instead of learning more about the beliefs of others. UIndy Interfaith tries to avoid that by providing programming that brings diverse people together.

Junior sociology and philosophy major Zak Mitiche and sophomore community health education major Mallory Traver are tackling these issues head on.

“The first thing [component of Interfaith] is breaking down boundaries of ignorance,”Mitiche said.“People with different philosophies and religions coming together and learning about how other people approach life.”

Although UIndy has had an interfaith program before, the program has

been completely restructured to be more inclusive and more informational for everyone.

“We have set Interfaith up into two forms. The first is membership, where everyday students can get involved,” Traver said. “They [students] can come to meetings, learn, educate themselves, help out around the university. The other is the council side, which will consist of RSO [Registered S t u d e n t O r g a n i z a t i on ] leaders involved in cultural, religious, and social justice issues. We have been getting a lot of people in one place just to say you are different than me, [and]that’s ok. Let’s sit down, talk about what we have in common and work on making a difference.”

OPINION

2 THE REFLECTOR

A note from the editor The stigma associated with counseling and psychiatric help is still very strong. With this in mind, and in light of Robin Williams’ recent suicide, several members of The Reflector staff decided to share a few words on how counseling has helped them. We are your friends and your classmates. Professionals helped us, and they can help you, too.

When I was seven years old, I was afraid of everything. Thoughts like, “What if a burglar breaks into our house?” would play through my mind constantly. A psychiatrist diagnosed me with anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder.

A few years later, my mother was diagnosed with ALS. She died nine days after my 11th birthday. That was when I started counseling. I’ve seen several counselors since then, and all of them have helped me become a more confident man. I learned how to ignore the silly fears and embrace the world around me. They have taught me how to enjoy living again.

There is no weakness in seeking help 30 percent of college students report feeling “so depressed that it was difficult to function” 1

44 percent of American college students reported feeling symptoms of depression.2 1. American College Health Association (2011)

2. PsychCentral.com

Graphic by Kyle Dunbar I walked by the health center about a dozen times before I built up enough courage to walk up to the front desk and say, “I need to see a counselor.”

Before that, I had thought that receiving help was an act of weakness and that I had given up on helping myself.

I would keep my emotions bottled up because I did not want people to feel sorry for me.

Through each week of counseling, I opened up and learned how to better communicate how I felt about losing my

sister. There was never a set agenda, and I decided how the conversations would go.

There were days that I felt worse than others, but my counselor was always supportive and listened to anything I had to say.

I can honestly say that going to counseling did not make me weak, but in fact made me stronger now than I would be if I had decided not to walk through that door.

Mascot check list:

Being a naturally private person and dealing with anxiety can be a scary combination.

Usually feeling like my worries were irrational and irrelevant, I would only confide in my mom. Being away from home and trying to handle my anxiety soon put me in a funk to where getting up in the morning soon became a draining task.

After receiving an email from a professor concerned about the drastic change in my behavior, I realized that if

One great greyhound deserves another If you have been to any sporting event on the University of Indianapolis campus, there is a high probability that you have seen Ace, the university mascot. Dressed in either a football or basketball jersey, Ace is a very energetic mascot who is known for his crazy dance moves and lovable spirit.

However, when I see him one question comes to my mind: why don’t we have a real live greyhound as our mascot?

My mind always travels to Butler, which has not only a mascot like Ace, but also Butler Blue III as a real, live sidekick.

I think the time has come to give Ace a sidekick here at UIndy.

Let’s all go back in time, to when the term “UIndy Greyhound” was officially adopted at the university.

According to Fredrick Hill, author of “Downright Devotion to the Cause: A History of The University of Indianapolis and Its Legacy of Service,” “In the fall of 1926, an article [by The Reflector] announcing that the ‘Cardinal and Grey Warriors’ were ready to meet the Earlham College team in Central’s first football game of the season bore the headline ‘Central Greyhounds Ready For Quakers.’

A few weeks later, a group of fans gathered in Men’s Hall to choose a name that would do justice to the scrapping Cardinal

and Grey Warriors.

They eventually agreed on Greyhounds because the Indiana Central athlete, like a greyhound, ‘is a long, lean animal renowned for its speed, jumping prowess, and fighting heart.’”

In 1965, Central did have a real, live pet as a mascot, but only for a short time.

According to Hill,“The College received a gift from Edward Bright, former coach and athletic director at Indiana Central, one of his Greyhound racers that had suffered a broken leg and would not be able to race again.

The campus community was happy to accept the mascot, named Dixie, but she was unable to adapt completely to her new role.

For her own well-being, Dixie was returned to her former owner in Florida after about two years on campus.”

So why is a Greyhound such a good dog to own? Greyhounds are very low-maintenance dogs with few health problems.

According to GPA-Wisconsin, greyhounds are generally healthy dogs, and live for 12-15 years.

This means that we would not have to get a new mascot very often. At least three graduating classes would be able to get to know just one of these lovable canines.

Also according to GPA-Wisconsin, “Greyhounds have virtually no ‘doggy’

odor, even when wet. They have short hair, do not shed much, and do not require grooming other than an occasional bath, brushing, and nail clipping.”

This is a huge advantage to whoever would be housing the dog, because the dog would be virtually unnoticeable smell-wise in the house.

Having a live Greyhound also would be a good addition to the campus community.

According to dogtime.com, “Greyhounds generally have a wonderful temperament, being friendly and nonaggressive.

The Greyhound combines a stately appearance with a friendly attitude toward people and other dogs.”

Because the Greyhound has this trait, our real, live mascot would be able to attend events all over the state of Indiana if necessary.

Also according to GPA Wisconsin, “They are intelligent and independent, even catlike in ways.” This means Ace’s sidekick could easily learn tricks to keep the crowd fired up and would be easy to train.

I am not saying that we should replace Ace, I am saying that if Ace had a sidekick that would be a pretty cool deal.

Greyhounds have numerous health benefits, as well as traits that can be used to boost the morale of the campus community.

I have always had this idea of what I wanted my life to be like. As time progressed, I obsessed over that. I became fixated with perfectionism in my schoolwork, my acting and with fitting the mold I set for myself. I was able to maintain this in high school with only a few anxiety attacks.

College was truly a different world, and I struggled to adjust. It was this last summer, I felt like I had no one to turn to and I was looking for a way out.

I remembered Active Minds coming to campus with their motto “send silence packing,” and I did just that. Suicide can be prevented just by having someone to talk to. I am so overjoyed that I go to a school that offers listening ears.

-Laraithon Williams, Staff Writer I have been in counseling since my freshman year in high school. I enjoy talking to my counselors.

People may think that talking to professionals is “weak”and “unnecessary,” but it is a helpful process. I am glad that I have counselors on my side; if I didn’t, I probably wouldn’t be the person I am today.

other people could see the cloud over my head, then it must really be there. Finally I clued my mom into how down I really had been feeling, and she suggested I talk to a counselor on campus to unload some of the heavy anxiety. Once I sat down in the counselor’s office and started talking, I couldn’t stop. Suddenly all these worries I had not even realized I had been holding onto came flooding out.

Eventually, talking about my feelings became easier, because I knew I was talking to someone who was trained to handle whatever I was dealing with. From the smallest to the most burdensome idea, they were left on floor as I calmly walked out after every hour session.

-Michael Rheinheimer, Opinion Editor My anger was off the charts and had been my entire life. The worst part is I couldn’t even control what was coming out of my mouth. I was afraid I was just insane.

I made an appointment at the health and wellness center, and I went into my session asking my counselor to help me label what was going on.

Instead, she gave me the tools I needed to make sense of what I was feeling. She stuck with me through the hysterical crying and crippling doubt. The people in the counseling center are loving and want nothing more than to hear your successes.

I still have nasty bouts of anger, but now instead of lashing out, I can organize my thoughts so that I can articulate my emotions in a healthy way. It is the greatest gift anyone has ever given me.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2014

Without sounding too noncommittal, I have personally changed my major six times. Finally, I settled back on the major I declared when I first started college.

From communication, I went to criminal justice, international relations, biology, history and then back to communication.

All of this was motivated by fear of unemployment and uselessness, two fears shared by one of my friends who majors in something so unique that she is one of only a handful in the major at the state university she attends.

In recent years, liberal arts majors have been the butt of many jokes. As Conan O’Brien joked in his 2011 commencement speech to Dartmouth College,“If your child majored in fine arts or philosophy, you have good reason to be worried. The only place where they are now really qualified to get a job is ancient Greece. Good luck with that degree.”

While meant as a joke, the jab reflects the common misconceptions about the liberal arts.

How useful is a degree in philosophy?

There already seem to be scores of unemployed armchair philosophers in every coffeehouse in America. What about history majors? Who needs a history major in the information age, when one can learn all about the Battle of Carthage in just a few minutes?

But as it turns out, these two majors alone are quite popular among future lawyers. According to LawSchooli.com, an online Law School Admission Test (LSAT) preparation site, 82 percent of philosophy majors who applied to law school were accepted. The same site reported that history majors scored among the highest on the LSAT with an average of 155.9.The highest an applicant can score is 180.

Law school is certainly not the only

path to which a liberal arts education can lead. In fact, many successful people study liberal arts topics in their undergraduate careers.

Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Jennifer Drake says that what employers value more than what a student has studied is what a student has learned.

“They want to hire employees who can think, who are problem solvers, who are creative . . . that’s the skill set that’s really cultivated in our liberal arts and science courses,” Drake said. “What we also see is that students who come through majors where there aren’t always clearer career paths end up being quite successful in the long run.”

A 2013 study from the Georgetown Public Policy Institute found that liberal arts graduated with an unemployment rate of only 8.1 percent.The overall average was 7.9 percent. The liberal arts degree fared even better than some career oriented majors like business or criminal justice, which reported a whopping 14.7 percent.

College is an expensive investment. It might seem safe to major in something with a clear career path. But what is clearly the most important thing about college is a student’s development as an independent thinker. As an independent thinker, he or she will go on to contribute to their future employer and to society as a whole. And we will all benefit.

So do not worry about your major.

Change it if you want. The truly lasting lesson of your undergraduate career will be how hard you are willing to work for something, not necessarily memorization of facts and answers.

If you want to study medieval literature, then study it. If you want to pursue film studies, then go for it. If you want to study mythology and folklore, then learn everything you can about myths. Just give it everything you have and be prepared to face the world. Your major will not necessarily dictate where you will go in life; that is entirely up to you.

Police department new location benefits police, students’ safety

By Amani Morgan STAFF WRITER

The University of Indianapolis board of trustees approved last February a strategic plan to develop better programs and facilities within the next five years.

First on that list is a new health complex that would include a brand new facility to help develop the university’s health science programs. However, the new building was set to go on the land previously occupied by the UIndy police department building.

The campus police department then was relocated to a building that previously served as the Music Annex for the music department and as storage space for the theatre department.

The university police department is now located on Shelby Avenue, across the street from Fifth Third Bank. It is now more central to the residence halls and much closer to Campus Apartment and traffic activity, said Chief of Police and Director of Campus Security David Selby.

Over the summer, the building was remodeled to meet the needs of a police station.There are offices for the chief and lieutenant, new interview rooms equipped with a camera and sound, a squad room, Photo by Ben Zefeng Zhang a conference room and a basement for evidence storage.

The new UIndy police department is located on Shelby Avenue, across from the Fifth Third Bank. Originally, the department was located right next to Warren Hall but had to be relocated due to the new Health Pavilion’s construction.

Volleyball splits matches on the road

By Jessie Shelton STAFF WRITER After claiming three-straight shutout victories to open up its conference season, the University of Indianapolis volleyball team dropped its first match of the season to the Rockhurst University Hawks 3-1 (24-26, 22-25, 25-23, 20-25).

Despite each set being close, the Hawks snuck by the Greyhounds, taking all three of their sets by five points or less.

Prior to the loss, UIndy claimed its third straight shutout victory in a 3-0 win over the William Jewell College Cardinals (25-6, 25-13, 25-18).

The Greyhounds took every set in dominant fashion, with their first set 25-6 win being the largest margin of the season.

UIndy picked up their first set of conference wins during the previous weekend against the Drury University Panthers and the Missouri S&T Miners.

In a 3-0 sweep on Saturday, Sept. 13, against the Panthers (25-19, 25-14, 3129), the Greyhounds demonstrated their resilience in the third set, defeating Drury despite the Panthers’ 7-1 run that tied the set at 24, following a 23-17 deficit.

Senior setter Meghan Binkerd, who led the Greyhounds, put up 41 assists and 10 digs. Alongside Binkerd, two new players made their mark for UIndy, including junior UT-Martin transfer outside hitter Lynsey Hazelwood, who recorded 19 kills, and true freshman outside hitter Kacee Salyers, who had 14 digs and eight kills.

“It was nice to win my last first home game,” Binkerd said following the victory over Drury. “Just winning in three [sets] and getting that back on our record [was an accomplishment].”

The following match on Sunday, Sept.

14 followed suit for the Greyhounds.

UIndy triumphed over the Miners 3-0 (25-13, 27-25, 25-13), led by junior outside hitter Hailey Brown, who chalked up 15 kills and 14 digs. Hazelwood and Binkerd stayed consistent in the afternoon match, with Hazelwood claiming 10 kills and eight digs, and Binkerd creating 42 assists and 11 digs. Senior outside hitter Arielle Knafel also finished with 17 digs,

The University of Indianapolis women’s soccer team finished their first GLVC weekend on the road with a 0-1 loss to Missouri S &T on Sept. 21.

Sophomore goalkeeper Emma Crenshaw made her first appearance in the goal with six saves before the Miners made the first and only goal of the game at the 74th minute.

Prior to the loss, the Greyhounds faced the Drury Panthers on Sept. 19 which resulted in a 1-1 tie.

Senior Katie Johnston scored at the 36th minute of the game and senior goalkeeper Megan Fee made three saves until the Panthers scored with three minutes left in regulation. The Greyhounds had several shots on goal, but could not break the tie.

UIndy took its second loss of the season against the visiting Rockhurst University Hawks, losing 1-0 in the Greyhounds’ second conference match of the season on Sunday Sept. 14, at Key Stadium.

Fee took the loss in goal, holding off 30 shots from the Hawks before Rockhurst scored in the 76th minute to take the lead.

Despite their best efforts, the Greyhounds could not tie the match before the end of regulation, even with a close shot off the crossbar that came from junior midfielder/ back Kiara Elliott in the 87th minute.

A few days prior, the Greyhounds played in their first Great Lakes Valley Conference match of the season on Friday, Sept. 12, at Key Stadium against the William Jewell College Cardinals, which ended in a 2-2 tie.

The Greyhounds struck first against the Cardinals with Johnston’s first goal of the season during the 25th minute, but after a miscue during a late free kick before the half, the Cardinals tied the match with seconds remaining. The second half was a competitive battle for the Greyhounds as they gave up another goal during the 64th minute, placing them in a trailing position, 2-1. UIndy did not buckle under pressure, however, and tied the game 2-2, with 22 seconds remaining in regulation.

Following two scoreless overtime periods,

the match ended in a draw.

Heading into halftime during that match, the Cardinals had all the momentum after the last-second tying goal.

Following the tie, Head Women’s Soccer Coach Kiley Cirillo said that he wished certain moments had gone differently during that half.

“Honestly, the last minute of the first half I want back,” he said. “What we said as a staff was we got real tight and just forgot what we were supposed to be doing.”

Senior midfielder Katie Crump said she also wished the first half had gone differently, as well.

“It’s never a good feeling,” she said.

“We kind of dropped our heads for a second, but at halftime we all picked each other up. We knew we were playing well and didn’t let it [the last goal of the first half ] get to us.”

The Greyhounds continued fighting to tie up the score during the remainder of the second half, and as time dwindled down, the Cardinals made a crucial mistake with a handle ball that led to a Greyhound free kick. With 22 seconds remaining on the clock, sophomore forward/midfielder Liz Behrends drilled a shot to tie the match and force overtime.

According to Cirillo, the Hounds were extremely confident in Behrends’ ability to make the shot.

“Yesterday after practice, she spent about 30 minutes hitting that exact ball from that exact spot. She took about 30 shots,” he said. “My confidence level for her to do it was very high.”

Crump said she also was confident in the shot.

“Once she struck that ball everyone knew it was going in,” she said. “It was an indescribable feeling.”

Despite the Hounds best efforts in overtime to try and take the lead, they ended with the 2-2 draw. “[It was] not the result we wanted with the tie, but at the same time it’s a point in the GLVC, and we showed a lot of character,” Cirillo said. “ We showed a lot of belief that we are the better team. I thought we did a pretty good job.”

UIndy’s next match will take place on Friday, Sept. 26, at McKendree University and is set to get underway at 6 p.m.

Football improves to 2-1 with win

Following a loss the week before, the UIndy Greyhound football team rebounds with its first conference victory of 2014

By AJ Rose SPORTS EDITOR Heading into its third game of the season on Saturday, Sept. 20, the University of Indianapolis football team was looking to get back to its winning ways, after dropping an uncharacteristic 19-14 loss to Saint Xavier University the week before. The Greyhounds had no trouble making that happen, as they defeated the Southwest Baptist University Bearcats, a newly added associate member of the Great Lakes Valley Conference, in a lopsided blowout, 48-14.

The matchup against the Bearcats was the Greyhounds’ first conference game of the year, and on paper, it appeared as if the game would be a shootout between two statistically impressive offenses. The Bearcats, a week ago, were ranked first in the GLVC in total offense, and had the second-best passing offense in the country in all of NCAA Division II, averaging 495 yards per game. Yet, despite their early success in the season, the Bearcats did not find the same success against UIndy, putting up a total of just 302 yards and two touchdowns, compared to the Greyhounds’ offense, who put together a total of 477 yards and six touchdowns on the night.

A major cause of the Bearcats’ below average performance on offense was the pressure created by the Greyhounds’ defense on Bearcats’ quarterback, Willie Tindal, who was sacked three times and threw an interception to senior defensive back Koby Orris during the contest.

Heading into the game, junior defensive lineman Lee Campbell said that creating such pressure would be a significant part of UIndy’s plan to contain the Bearcat’s offense.

“If we get pressure and sacks, there is no way this quarterback is going to throw 400 yards, like he has been the past couple of weeks,” said Campbell prior to Saturday’s win.

Campbell’s prediction held true for the Greyhounds, as the opposing quarterback threw for just a mere 158 passing yards in the contest, after averaging 421 yards a game, which was first amongst every quarterback in all of NCAA Division II a week ago.

On offense, the Greyhounds did not

experience the same statistical struggles as they had the week before, as both redshirt senior running back Matt Ripp and redshirt sophomore running back Andrew Walker each ran for over 100 yards and claimed a pair of rushing touchdowns.

Walker finished with a total of 117 rushing yards on the ground, while Ripp finished right behind him with 102 rushing yards of his own.

Redshirt junior quarterback Connor Barthel also had a statistically solid game through the air, as the team captain threw for 14-of-20 and 208 yards, while also finding the end zone twice to add on to the Greyhounds’ superior advantage on the scoreboard. A significant amount of those passes by Barthel went to his go-to redshirt junior wide receiver Reece Horn, who after being in question all week after suffering an injury the week before, caught six passes for 120 yards, including a 65yard touchdown reception right before the end of the first half.

Senior kicker Scott Miller also added to the Greyhounds’ final score, chipping in six points from two field goals during the first half. Both successful attempts came from fairly close range, as the veteran connected from 30 and 25 yards out, respectively.

Prior to Saturdays win, Head Football Coach Bob Bartolomeo said that the team was eager to get back to such results after taking its first loss of the season the week before.

“We don’t get beat very often around here, and it was just a little bit of a culture shock,” he said. “A lot of frustration [was experienced], but I thought that we had a good week of practice this [past] week, and I think we are ready to play again and redeem ourselves.”

After having to travel on the road three-straight weeks to open the season, going 2-1, the Greyhounds will return to Indianapolis for its home opener against the Hillsdale College Chargers, who are also 2-1 and familiar with the Greyhounds, as an old conference foe from the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Last season, the Greyhounds snuck out a 17-14 road victory over the Chargers, after nearly losing a 17-0 lead in the second half.

According to Bartolomeo, the team is happy to be back at home in an environment where they are used to finding

“We don’t lose very often at Key [Stadium], so I’m hoping that continues,” he said. “We take a lot of pride in playing at home.”

The first home game of the season will also take place on the same date as Family Day at the university, and Bartolomeo said that he hopes many Greyhound fans will show up to Key Stadium that evening to support the team.

“I am excited for our student body to see us play. It is the first time a lot of the freshmen in this big class are able to go to a football game,” he mentioned. “Hopefully we get people out there supporting us, [because] we need all the support we can get. We have to make Key Stadium a place where people do not like to come and play, and that includes everybody, including the football team, the student body and all the other people involved.”

In-region action between the Greyhounds and Chargers will get underway from Key Stadium this Saturday, Sept.

27, with kickoff scheduled to take place at 6 p.m.

Men’s soccer competes on road Cross Country finds UIndy club claims a split over the weekend in GLVC competition success at Little State

By David Daniels STAFF WRITER

After failing to claim a win since beginning its season, the University of Indianapolis men’s soccer team clenched its first match of the 2014 season on Sunday, Sept. 21 in a 4-0 Great Lakes Valley Conference win over the Missouri S&T Miners.

UIndy found success in both halves of their victory, scoring two goals in each.

Redshirt senior goalkeeper Andrew Verhonik kept the Miners scoreless, by making four saves while in goal.

A few days earlier, on Friday, Sept. 19, the Greyhounds dropped its third match of the season to the Drury University Panthers, 1-0.

UIndy gave up the only goal of the match during the 22nd minute of action.

The Greyhounds played a pair of home matches the weekend before, with one on Friday, Sept. 12, ending in a 1-1 draw against William Jewell College, and the other match on Sunday, Sept. 14, ending in a 1-0 loss against Rockhurst University.

In the match against Rockhurst, both teams had not met each other since last season’s Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament championship, which the Greyhounds also lost 2-0. During this year’s match, both clubs played competitively for the first 90 minutes, which forced overtime. After the first overtime period went scoreless as well, the Hawks found the back of the net during the second overtime period at the 107th minute, handing UIndy its second loss of the season.

The University of Indianapolis men and women’s cross country teams travelled to Purdue University on Friday, Sept. 19 to compete at the Little State competition at the Indiana Intercollegiates.

The men, who placed second to Wabash College, were led by senior Kameron Casey who finished second overall in the 8k with a time of 26.09.5. Junior Joel Keller followed right after with a time of 26.15.3 for a third place finish.

The women’s team also placed second, falling only to Taylor University. Senior Jacklyn Howland led the Greyhounds with a third place finish time of 18:12.4 in the 5k. Junior Haley Havert finished fifth with a time of 18:24.4 and freshman Kieran Casey made the top ten with an eighth place finish at 18.34.4.

Prior to traveling to West Lafayette, Howland said that the team prepared for the meet through mental preparation, training and practice. According to Howland, the Greyhounds’ goal for the event was to be a frontrunner and to try to be the small school that competed with the bigger schools there.

Head Cross Country Coach Kathy Casey agreed that both the men and women needed to compete to their best abilities against the bigger programs at the event, saying that the team would approach “the meet by treating the meet like it was a championship event.”

With the season still young, Howland said she is expecting the best year for

herself as a Greyhound. Keeping an eye out for personal goals, she also is hoping for success overall as a team, which she said is quite possible.

“Running at nationals is a dream, but with everyone on the team right now, the team could potentially have its best year,” she said.

While running at nationals may be a goal of Howland’s this season, senior Alex Cushman, on the men’s team, already has been there, reaching that level last season.

He is sitting out this year as a non-injury related redshirt, in hopes of returning to the championships again next year. According to Cushman, he is hoping the extra year will make him better for next season, when he can compete again.

Being a year away from competition, Cushman is maintaining a significant role on the team by working with and cheering on his teammates. Like Howland, Cushman said he believes the team is capable of finding success this season.

“A lot of people are stepping up, and we still have a really good chance at going to nationals this year,” he said.

Casey also believes in her team’s ability this season. She said there is a lot of talent but they also must focus it in the right direction.

“We need to make sure the team knows what its duties are, make sure the team doesn’t start slacking, and make sure that they push each other,” Casey said.

The Greyhounds will compete next at the Greater Louisville Classic in Louisville, Ky., on Oct. 4, with a starting time yet to be announced.

>> On Sept. 2, Maroon 5 released their new album. This album is the first that band member Jesse Carmichael has played on since his leave from the band in 2012. “V,” Deluxe Edition, is a mix of the group’s traditional indie rock music with a plethora of experimental songs that range from “Sex and Candy,” a Marvin Gaye-esque love ballad, to “My Heart is Open” with Gwen Stefani, an emotional bluesy song, to the already hit song “Maps” that seems along the lines of the groups prior work. Some of the pieces, such as “Leaving California” and “New Love,” do not quite live up to expectations. The pieces are too experimental and have a sound that borders on hip-hop, which is where the band does not have a particular talent. It does much better when it sticks to the pop rock formula that it has been using quite successfully for years. Overall though, the album is a good mix of sounds that combine the older and newer sounds with relatively few low points.This album is definitely worth the price.

His father’s dying wish was for his family to participate in seven days of sitting, Shiva. Judd’s two brothers and sister Wendy (Tina Fey) must live together with their mother and significant others for one week, which naturally leads to a series of dramatic events. These events range from divorce, to pregnancy to physical fights. The funniest part of the movie was Wendy’s child carrying around his portable toilet to use it outside. Although Fey and Bateman portray a very realistic love-hate sibling relationship, the movie was a failure. I had higher hopes for this movie, considering the great group of actors. If I had been better prepared for the lack of comedy in the movie and the strong drama, I might have liked it better. The movie was listed as a comedy/drama but overall was very depressing, with a few jokes sprinkled in.

If you are a party of three, you will have some wait time but unlike most restaurants, Pizzology sends text messages to let you know when your table is ready.

I recommend sitting at the pizza bar for two reasons - you will be seated faster and the food is prepared right before your eyes.

The aroma pulls you in as you watch the pizza being made with all the fresh and healthy ingredients, even down to the olive oil. Pizzology serves more than the average pizza, such as toppings of egg yolk or corn. I ordered the Lombardy. Instead of red sauce, the Lombardy uses oil as a base, and it not only tasted better, it was healthier. The addition of basil gave it a nice flavor. Pizzology is definitely a place I recommend for anyone looking for a good slice of pizza in a hip new atmosphere on Mass Ave.

>> “10:04: A Novel,” written by Ben Lerner, is by far one of the most complicated books I have ever read. The narrator, also referred to as “The Author,” has had several life-changing experiences throughout the past year, including enjoying the unlikely benefits of being a literary success, being diagnosed with a disease that could end up killing him and being asked by his best friend to help her conceive a child. The narrator must deal with all of these elements in New York City, a city that is a center of social unrest and home to frequent superstorms. In the end, the narrator is trying to show what it is like to be alive now and how thinking about what the future may bring can change the relationships we have now, as well as in the future. I found this book difficult to follow, because the narrator in the story switches what he is thinking about every other page. But if you like books that really make you think and are organized in a scattered manner, then this book is definitely for you.

The trail gives users plenty of warning before a busy intersection, oftentimes two or three signs.

I rode about five miles total all the way to the Indiana State Fairgrounds. Sections of the trail vary from bright murals to serene forest life. One downside, however, is that certain portions of the trail have an odor similar to the smells that a septic tank would give off, making it hard to breathe while biking and jogging. The trail also has time limits, and users will get tickets for being on the trail too early or too late.

For those who want an interesting place to exercise, I definitely recommend using the Monon Trail.

Fountain Square exhibit brings diversity to UIndy, sparks positive feelings from gallery visitors

By Artemis Choungk STAFF WRITER Big Car is presenting an intuitive multimedia art gallery exhibition entitled “No Brakes: 10 Years of Creating Vibrant Collisions” in Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center Gallery at the University of Indianapolis. Big Car is celebrating its 10th anniversary of being a collaborative non-profit.

The various artworks are on display through September 26.

Executive Director Jim Walker started Big Car in 2004 in Fountain Square with a group of artists willing to transform and evolve together with communities by encouraging thousands of people in Indianapolis to get involved in art and in creativity.

“For me, it’s important to participate but mostly to teach,” Walker said.“You can create your own practice, gain experience and share it with others.”

Since Big Car’s founding, the organization has continued to strengthen the public’s engagement in special

projects, programs, performances and events to make neighborhoods more livable.

“Working with my team is great,” said community artist Tom Streit. “I feel happy to see people be passionate about what they do. We want people to collaborate as a community, and we want them to have access to creativity.”

Social practice art is what Big Car promotes for a positive impact and change in the community’s life. It is exchanging experiences and practices of art between artists and residents.

The retrospective gallery involves interactive activities as well as displays of dynamic pictures with motivational quotes, videos on screens and handcrafts on walls.

“It’s amazing when you look at all these creative works ,” said Big Car Creative Director Andy Fry.“I just feel great seeing so much art all in one room.”

UIndy students explored the artworks and participated in some of the activities.

“Instead of buying the product, it feels like more of a community,” said graduate student of strategic leadership and design

Carrington Clodius.

Other students were also impressed with the gallery.

“I believe this is the best gallery I’ve been to at UIndy so far,” said sophomore pre-art therapy and studio art major Alexandra Myers. “It’s so lively and nice, and the work is good.”

Today, Big Car has become a thriving non-profit organization that brings diverse people together through design, inspiration and sharing to make the city better. Its latest project, Galeria Magnifica, located in Superior Market and Taqueria on the far east side, is a new art gallery that shares space for everyone to join the art community.

Big Car’s future goal is to expand its work on the south side of Indianapolis “It’s less about the cultural exchange or the product. It’s more about the people,” Streit said.

According to Streit, this exhibit connects community members to one another.

“People can engage and just be creative,” said Streit. “It’s about bringing art to people and people to art.”

Maestro, orchestra start off FACS

Concert celebrates 20th anniversary of Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center

By Quiaira Johnson Online Editor Celebrating 20 years of the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center, the University of Indianapolis Faculty Artist Concert Series held its annual gala opening concert featuring artist-in-residence, Maestro Raymond Leppard.

The concert was held at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 15 in the Ruth Lilly Performance Hall of the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center.

The concert began with President Robert Manuel offering a brief background of the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center and words of gratitude to Christel DeHaan. He also acknowledged her presence in the performance hall.

“To begin our celebration tonight, I want to offer just a short commentary about the influence this facility and more importantly Christel DeHaan has had on our university,” Manuel said. “To do this, I spoke with many at UIndy who have worked with Christel or were here during her leadership as a chair of our board of trustees. Every individual I spoke with, every individual that remembers Christel’s leadership here at the university said that she was transformational. . . She made possible not only the physical building

we are in tonight, but she also inspired us to fill it with students, faculty, and professional musicians. She stretched us to think of this space as a source of arts programing for our community.”

The concert comprised music by Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel, Gustav Holst, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The Holst pieces included four pieces from “St. Paul’s Suite, Op. 29, No. 2,” which were “Jig: Vivace,” “Ostinato: Presto,”“Intermezzo: Andante con moto” and “Finale (The Dargason): Allegro.”

The Bach pieces included three pieces from “Brandenburg Concerto No. 4 in G Major, BWV 1049,” “Allegro,” “Andante” and “Presto.” The Handel pieces included selections from “Rodelinda, HWV 19” which included “Bertarido’s aria: Confusa si miri,”“Duet: Io t’abbraccio”and “Rodelinda’s aria: Mio caro bene.” The concert closed out with selections from Mozart, “Mass in C Major, K. 257 (Credo Mass),” which included “Kyrie eleison,” “Gloria” and “Agnus Dei.” Sophomore nursing major Karina Rodriguez felt the concert was a cultural experience.

“I have never spoken a word of Latin, but hearing the choir sing in Latin so beautifully made me want to speak it,” Rodriguez said. “I love that UIndy of-

fers so many events that open your eyes to things that you aren’t accustomed to.

Although I was originally here for a class requirement, I am glad that I was able to be a part of this event, celebrating 20 years of the center.”

The concert performers included member of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, the University of Indianapolis Artist-in-Residence,the University of Indianapolis Festival Orchestra, and the University of Indianapolis Choral Ensembles. The soloists of the concert included Director of Vocal Studies Kathleen Hacker singing soprano, vocal department professor Mitzi Westra singing mezzo-soprano, Director of Strings Ensembles Austin Hartman playing the violin, and Anne Reynolds and Tamara Thweatt playing the flute. The student soloists consisted of Shannon Christie, soprano, Elisabeth Kleinsmith, mezzosoprano, Andrew Wegg, tenor, and Glen Hall, bass-baritone.

“I thought the concert was well done,” said sophomore psychology major Danielle Graves. “It was my first time attending and I left with a new perspective on music. I normally don’t listen to music of that nature, but I loved every minute of the concert.”

The next FACS is Sept. 29 at 7 p.m. in Ruth Lilly Performance Hall.

Plain White T’s to visit UIndy campus for homecoming concert

This Wild Life scheduled as opening act for concert

By Vivian Husband STAFF WRITER

The students have spoken, and they want the Plain White T’s at their homecoming. UIndy will host another homecoming concert and this year’s featured artist will be the Plain White T’s.

The pop band, known for its charttopping hit, “Hey There Delilah,” is getting ready for the release of its new album, “American Nights.”

UIndy Director of Student Activities Stephanie Barry said she is excited about some other activities during homecoming week as well. She said that students can look forward to a bigger and better parade with more floats, zip lining and tailgating.

Having a punk-pop band is something new to campus, but it does not look like this will be the only time.

“I think the show is going to be the starting point for UIndy,” Barry said.

This summer the Campus Program Board and the Homecoming Committee conducted a survey asking students who they would like to have at the concert.

Students were asked to rank their top three favorites from the list. Out of more than 1,000 responses, Plain White T’s won with 70 percent of the votes.

“It makes me feel good that we were able to get the No. 1 choice of students,” Barry said.

CPB Major Events Chair Regina Spielmann is responsible for marketing the concert. Spielmann who participated in creating the survey conducted this summer, said she was also excited with the response. “. . . It’s one of the biggest bands we’ve had on campus in a long time,”Spielmann said. “And I think the aspect that the students got to vote for who they wanted to bring is really cool and gets the students excited because they get to see who they wanted, which doesn’t really happen a lot.”

According to Spielmann, all groups involved wanted student input.

“[In the past] we’ve picked these people with not a lot of input from the students,” Spielmann said. “So having their input makes me really excited. It’s going to be a good time. Everyone is going to want to be there and make the most of it,” Spielmann said.

According to Barry, there will be more intentional reaching out to students and getting feedback. Students can contact CPB or the Indianapolis Student Government with opinions concerning student life.

CPB will be more strategic in what its doing to make sure that it fits the needs and wants of the students. From development of the student senate last year, ISG has been able to make improvements based on what the student body wants.

“I think this year’s homecoming is better than it has been in the past years I’ve been involved,” Spielmann said. “We’re continually growing and expanding upon homecoming and honing in on the importance of it. The students are into it more than ever. So [we are] making sure that we keep the momentum going, making each year better and better and outdoing ourselves year after year.”

Spielmann added that the planning committee is going to have to plan more strategically for next year because it has made this year so much bigger than the past years. She said that this homecoming has set the bar very high for the future, and outdoing this year will be hard work.

“I have hopes that they’ll blow this year out of the water,” Spielmann said.

Homecoming week is Oct. 20-25.

Doors to the concert in Nicoson Hall will open at 8 p.m. on Oct. 23, and the concert will begin at 9 p.m. Tickets may be purchased online at the Event Ticketing Center. UIndy students, faculty/staff, alumni, and community members are all encouraged to attend. Tickets prices are as follows; $5 for UIndy students, $10 for faculty/staff or alumni and $15 for the general public.

Students benefit from campus employment Student employees open up about the different jobs on campus Laraithon Williams STAFF WRITER

UIndy sophomore student worker McKinsey Walden checks out a student customer at the University Bookstore.

College students play many roles, not only as students seeking higher education but as adults seeking financial security.

As a means to financial stability, some students choose to work on campus. From the bookstore, to the event centers, to places for dining, each student employee has a story to share.

Whether at the beginning of the semester or in the midst of it, students use the UIndy bookstore. Behind the counter is junior nursing major Anita Burns, who works as a cashier. Burns credited the flexibility of her hours as the reason she is able to effectively maintain her studies and job. Burns has been with the UIndy bookstore for a year now and said she is truly enjoying it and would recommend it for anyone looking for a job.

Debunking school myths Emily Darr FEATURE EDITOR

Many people have heard the rumor about getting hit by a car on Hanna Avenue leading to free tuition, but do not jump in front of that car just yet. As it turns out, this free tuition dream is a school myth and completely false. According to an old issue of The Reflector, the first student to get hit by a car on Hanna Avenue was in 1998. The student received 15 staples in his head and zero tuition money.

“There are always myths of how you can get free tuition,” said Vice President for Student and Campus Affairs and Dean of Students Kory Vitangeli.

Vitangeli has also been asked about falling out of bed and hitting your head can lead to free tuition, which is not true.

Free tuition may be myth, but what about students swimming in the canal before they graduate? Some may have heard students talk about doing exactly that.

Through her 12 years of working at UIndy, Vitangeli said that students have talked about doing that.

“But I don’t think it’s a tradition that everyone knows about,” she said. “I do

think there is this kind of underground talk of students doing it. And I know there are quite a few students who have tried to do it. I don’t know if I’d call it a tradition, but I think it happens.”

If it does happen, there must be a significant number of students swimming in the canal to create the conversation.

“My friends and I have talked about swimming in the canal before we graduate,” said senior sports marketing and sports management major Niki Lobo. “But we haven’t actually done it. We think it will be good luck on finals.”

But can students get fined for swimming in the canal? According to Vitangeli, the handbook says nothing about getting fined for being in the canal.

Of course, the canal is not a swimming pool, but there is no fine. There are other rumors about different types of fines, similar to the canal rumor, that also are most likely not true.

One of the oldest myths known to most colleges and universities is the 10-minute rule. This is the myth that when a profes-

sor is late to class, after 10 minutes the students may leave. As it turns out, this also is false.

“There is no written rule anywhere that says you don’t have to wait longer than 10 minutes,” Vitangeli said. “But that is definitely, I think, something that people think is true.”

Other myths V itangeli has been asked about include buildings being haunted, such as Ransburg and some of the residence halls.

According to university archivist and associate librarian Christine Guyonneau, Elnora Krannert may be haunting the library.

These myths and others have been passed along by students over the years.

“Out of all of those, probably the canal one [myth] is the most prevalent that I think seems to kind of travel year after year,” Vitangeli said.

Even though the myths about free tuition are exactly that, myths. Some differences of opinion exist about students swimming in the canal and ghosts in the buildings.

“There are always myths of how you can get free tuition.”

Coming soon to campus for commuters Mercadees Hempel NEWS EDITOR

Commuter students often have a hard time feeling connected on campus. They may not have a meal plan, so they cannot always go into the dining hall. They cannot just step out of a dorm room to meet people: and if they do not drive, going to campus events can be difficult.

Because of these circumstances, commuter students also may have a harder time making friends. Director of Student Support and Parent Programs and Title 9 Coordinator Erin Stoner wants to help bridge the gap between commuters and the University of Indianapolis campus, and after doing some research, she got the idea to create a lounge for students.

According to Vice President for Student and Campus Affairs and Dean of Students Kory Vitangeli, the Vision 2030 survey showed a need for commuters to have a spot of their own on campus in order to feel connected and to meet people and socialize. Stoner’s research into the matter supported this, and she wanted to start a program that could help commuters with their wants and needs.

“Research shows that the No. 1 reason that people leave a university is because they don’t feel connected to campus,” Stoner said. “So we want them to not only stay, but we want them to be successful at UIndy. So we’re hoping that this program will help them feel more connected and help them in knowing that there are resources available if they need them.”

Stoner found that many campuses had a lounge where students could go.

The lounge at UIndy will be open for all students to use, even if they are not commuters. But one of the hopes is that the lounge will provide a spot for commuters to gather and meet.

Stoner said it will be located in the Schwitzer Student Center, and there will be couches, some chairs, a TV and a refrigerator. Another resource students will find in the lounge is the group of

commuter assistants. Over the summer, Stoner emailed commuters students asking for volunteers. Those who were interested in being commuter assistants were asked to fill out an application and go through an interview process. Stoner said commuter assistants are like resident assistants, so their responsibilities include helping commuters with their questions, informing them about events and even setting up things for commuters to get involved in. Stoner said that when picking the assistants, she was looking for people who really cared about student success and had an outgoing personality.

“We were looking for . . . people who genuinely care about student success,” Stoner said. “In particular commuter student success, and really had a genuine interest in helping commuters be successful and get connected to campus.”

Five students were selected to be commuter assistants, one of them being sophomore computer science and electrical engineering major Han Shih. Shih said that she had had some difficulties during her freshman year, and when she received the email asking for assistants, she wanted to help other people who may have had the same issues. She said she and the other commuter assistants want students to be open to the idea of the lounge and to take advantage of it when it opens.

“Our idea of the lounge is actually [that] we want it to be like a home,” she said. “Like a place [where] commuters can come if they want to hang out or just find a place to rest or do homework before classes, because the libraries are available, but sometimes they [students] want an alternative. And we just want to be there. If you want to chitchat, come to us. But if you just want to rest, we’ll leave you alone.”

Shih said being a commuter assistant has helped her feel more connected and excited about campus as well, especially in interacting with the new freshmen.

“It’s really interesting to see new commuters and seeing how . . . this new bunch of commuters is so enthusiastic and ready

to go,” she said. “It’s sort of influenced me to learn from them and be more proactive and really be enthusiastic about almost everything on campus.”

Also, to help students get connected with each other, Stoner started The Yellow Sticker Club group on Facebook. Commuter students at UIndy are accepted into the group and can post questions they have, post information about events and use it to meet other commuters as well.

Until the lounge is ready, Shih said she and the other commuter assistants are located on the Second Floor of Schwitzer in the President’s Dining Hall. Her office hours are 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Thursdays and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Fridays.The other commuter assistants are Rochelle Short, Megan Vandergrift, Daniel Buergler and Jordan Marckel.

Until the lounge is ready, Shih said the best way for commuters to contact them would be through email or on The Yellow Sticker Club Facebook page. She said she hopes people will see them as “not like a counselor, but like a friend” and encourages commuters to contact them.

“We welcome any form of commuter students - be it sophomore, senior, junior or even grad students - to come and give us your suggestions on how we can do it [assist commuters], because this is a new initiative,” she said. “And even though we know what we want to do, it doesn’t hurt to have more advice or suggestions from people who know it better.”

The biggest incentive for doing this is to make commuters feel less alone as if UIndy can be a second home and overall to help them be more successful.

“I think it’s just [that] too often the commuters in the past haven’t felt that connection to the university,” Stoner said.

“And just didn’t know what resources were available to them and were either too scared to ask or didn’t want to take the time to figure it out or whatever it may have been. But hopefully, with this program, they can begin to feel that connection and get the help they may need or want.”

campus job at The Perk and Streets Corner with helping her with time management.

Miranda must assure that her homework is done around her work schedule. Knowing that she has to work, Miranda said she cannot afford to procrastinate.

The Perk and Streets are places of frequent service with a plethora of workers such as Kylie Little. Little, a junior preart therapy and studio art major, who has been employed since her freshman year, said a major benefit is making new friends.

In regards to the minimum wage pay being a possible issue, Little said the closeness and the flexibility outweighs it.

Sophomore marketing major and Event Services student crew member, Matthew Niceley said he would rather have an on-campus job and save his money.

One benefit Niceley said he has from working his on campus job is that when he is not putting up or tearing down for an event, he has time to do his homework.

Graduate student in health sciences major, and an international student, Kartik

Doshi has a different perspective about working on campus. He has set places to work, stipulated by his student visa, and Event Services is one of those. Originally from Mumbai, India, Doshi said the oncampus jobs allows him the opportunity to work and pay his rent. Doshi, too, recommends working on campus.

Senior business major and line worker for UIndy Dining Services, Emily Cherry anticipates graduating in May and must make sure she meets all deadlines and requirements.

Cherry juggles that responsibility and her work responsibility with the flexibility that UDS offers. Cherry noted that the only issue that may arise is that, as a senior, she is looking for an internship.

In her third year of student employment, Cherry believes it is a great fit.

“Everyone is very open-minded, so we have a lot of different kinds of people that work with us,” Cherry said. “It’s a really good place to be if you want to be accepted.”

Taking advantage of student discounts Sarah Hunker STAFF WRITER

College students all over Indiana are seeking any discounts that they can get their hands on. As full-time students, they have many expenses when they are away from home. So discounts specifically for college students, that focus on certain products they need, can definitely impact how they decide to spend their money. Vice President for Student and Campus Affairs and Dean of Students Kory Vitangeli handles many of the discounts students have at the University of Indianapolis and around the city of Indianapolis. She said that with the weekend shuttles provided, the university wants more students to take advantage of what the city has to offer.

That is why the university had a scavenger hunt for incoming freshmen, so they could get oriented to the city, she said.

“Our hope is that we can work with more public venues to say, ‘okay, we are going to get tickets for the symphony or we are going to get tickets for this theatre performance’because the shuttle is already going downtown, to get discounts for students,” Vitangeli said.

With the events that take place in the city, the university wants students to experience as much culture and diversity as they possibly can. Some current discounts UIndy students receive are at Papa Johns, Enzo’s Pizza, Donatos Pizza and the Children’s Museum. Vitangeli also wants students to be able to express exactly where they would like to get discounts.

“We really would encourage students to take their ideas to student government and even encourage them to re-formalize that discount program so that there are a list of places that students know they can go,” Vitangeli said.

Vitangeli also wants students to be

able to get discounts from places such as McDonald’s and Wendy’s, so that wherever students go, they can know that they have some kind of discount.

“Target or Walmart would be great for discounts or even a grocery store like Aldi,” said freshman music technology major Adam Mihal. “Barnes and Noble discounts would be really nice to have, too, since a lot of students like to read on their down time. ” Freshman psychology and pre-physical therapy assistant major Andrea Kuiper also agrees with the new discount ideas.

“It would make me a lot less stressed out if I could get what I needed at a lower price,” Kuiper said. “Especially when it comes to getting food. That’s an essential part of dorm life.”

Another idea that Vitangeli said she wants to get hold of is the idea of students wanting to go to certain sporting events such as Colts games, or even to the symphony in the city. She and the student government want students to express their wishes to get tickets to these sorts of functions so that they can try their best to get the students a discount. Vitangeli said she is determined to get students and the university involved with the city as much as possible.

Discounts are prominent within UIndy and students are advised to take advantage of them. So if there is something that a student desires to be given a discount for they should most definitely visit all the resources at hand here. Student government has meetings every week so students are more than welcome to share their ideas with those involved.

Overall, do not be afraid to ask for what you want, most of the time other students will probably want the same thing. Whether it is food or even a trip downtown to a museum, there are always people to help students budget along the way.

Poet duo shares their UIndy offers new work at Diversity Lecture MBA program

By Brian Lambright STAFF WRITER

Sister Outsider appeared on stage for the first time at the University of Indianapolis on Tuesday, Sept. 16. as part of the Diversity Lecture Series. The slam poets had eight poems lined up for the night.

This award-winning duo is representing two of the top three female slam poets in the world, Dominique Christina and Denise Frohman. “ They showed a great deal of enthusiasm [and] passion with the work they do,” said junior business administration major Korey Rogan.

The duo started the show by motivating the crowd to participate. The first poem they performed together was called “No Child Left Behind.”

“At the entrance of a West Philadelphia High School officer with gun perched on each waist. Asks me if I have any weapons.

I hold up my book he tells me that he does not find that funny,” Frohman said in the poem.

The duo elaborated on how in this

poem the students fall through the cracks and how the program does not help as much as it should.

The second poem talked about how Frohman’s mom was not well spoken in English and was looked down upon because she spoke Spanish. Frohman did this poem slam solo.

“If you are a little uncomfortable, t h a t ’s c o o l , p ro b a b l y w i l l be, ” Frohman said after she was finished. “That is how we grow. So lean into it and examine that and figure out why that is.”

The third poem was about how Christina “is where the anger resides in her,” with all the violence that she has seen and the history of all the violence seen by her family members.

The fourth poem, performed by Frohman, was about Muhammad Ali. The next poem which Christina performed was titled and about “The Bombing of Birmingham Sunday.” In this poem, Christina explained what struggles

the survivors felt and the emotions that traumatized so many people and caused them to be afraid of the world.

The sixth poem they performed together. This poem called “Similar Emotion” provided context for what it is like to be characterized a certain. In the poem, they talked about “what it is like to dodge Jehovah Witnesses so ear ly in the morning.”

The seventh poem, which was performed

by Frohman, was about how she was harassed about her relationship with her female lover. Frohman began the poem with “Dear Straight People,”which also was the poem’s title. The second line, “Gender and sexuality are two different things,” emphasized how people do not yet differentiate these words.

The eighth poem’s title is “Dear Nameless”was an introduction into reality.

“This [event] was a change, since I am normally playing sports on campus,” Rogan said. “Poetry is pretty helpful to express what you feel deep down inside.”

“Poetry is pretty helpful to express what you feel deep down inside.”

SRI has a successful start

Student Research Institute has good results after kickoff last summer

By Mercadees Hempel NEWS EDITOR This summer was the first time students at the University of Indianapolis started their own independent research projects as a part of the Student Research Institute.The program was created to help students gain experience in the particular field they would like to go into as well as to start a possible project or work they could pursue in Honors College or for a capstone.

Director of Student and Faculty Research Initiatives and Director of the Student Research Institute John Langdon said the SRI was created as a way to encourage students to get involved in scholarship, and it has many benefits besides just a great item to put on a resume.

“It’s a chance to move beyond the classroom, where you’re learning things out of a textbook, to actually learning how to create knowledge,” he said. “It’s the type of thing students will be expected to do if they go on to graduate school in their disciplines. So it’s a good step up in that direction.”

T h ere were 13 students who participated in the SRI this year. One thing Langdon would like students to know is that it is not a program for just one certain a type group of students. Students of all majors may take the opportunity.

This year’s participants included majors in chemistry, biology, music, philosophy

and religion, math and modern languages.

Each participant had three weeks to work on his or her project alongside a faculty member who serves as a mentor.

Senior and Honors College member environmental science major Chelsea Westerfield was one of the researchers this year.

Westerfield’s project, guided by her professor of biology Sandra Davis, focused on the effects of invasive species on herbaceous plants. Invasive plants are plants that are not native to Indiana, but when but when they were introduced, the species outcompeted the native plants for nutrients, allowing them to take over local ecosystems “It is important to remove these plants from an environment so that the ecosystem’s health is protected,” Westerfield said.

Westerfield spent her three weeks sampling 80 different plots in Marion, Monroe, Morgan and Brown counties by logging the different plant species and their frequencies per one square meter plot. With the help of Davis, Westerfield is processing her data to see if there is a difference in diversity between the parks that have been trying to contain the invasive species and the parks that are not. While Westerfield knows one spring is not enough to fully answer her question, she said the whole experience has been very beneficial.

“I feel like this was the best way to get me started on my honors project, because it gave me a supportive environment to

do my research in,” she said. “I wasn’t completely on my own. I had Dr. Davis and other professors to help me.”

For a student to get involved in the SRI, he or she first must partner with a faculty member who will serve as his or her mentor and write a proposal about the project he or she would like to do.

After three weeks of working on the project, the student then has to give a presentation about it.

The presentations for this year were on the last day of the Spring Term.

Westerfield gave her speech, and although she was nervous, thought it was a success.

“It’s scary because you know that if you make a mistake or present a fact wrong, the other scientists and people in your field are likely to catch it and ask you about it at the end,” she said. “. . . However, I kept my presentation in layman’s terms, since I knew we had a wide variety of backgrounds in the audience. So once I got started, I felt confident and covered the basic ideas and issues involving invasive species.”

Currently, there is no funding for the SRI, according to Langdon, but he hopes students know the opportunity is there if they do receive funding for this year. He also hopes to continue it on an annual basis in the future and said the first step is communicating.

“If students think this sounds like a good opportunity for them, [they should] talk to their faculty,”he said.“ … And they can certainly come and talk to me if they don’t know where to start.”

France, U.S. begin airstrikes in Iraq

THE REFLECTOR

By Mitchell Prothero MCCLATCHY FOREIGN STAFF IRBIL, Iraq— French jets struck an ammunition dump controlled by the Islamic State in northeastern Iraq on Friday, Sept. 19, the first airstrike by an American ally since the announcement that a coalition of countries would move to confront the Sunni Muslim militants.

French President Francois Hollande’s office announced the strike, saying that Rafale fighter jets had bombed “logistics depots of the terrorists”and that the move marked only the beginning of French military involvement in helping the United States, the government of Iraq and an assortment of regional allies, including Iran and Saudi Arabia, in beating back the Islamic State.

“Other operations will follow in the coming days,” the statement said, a formulation consistent with Hollande’s pledge earlier in the week that France would work with the Iraqi government but for now would take no action against the Islamic State in Syria, where the Islamists control nearly all of the eastern third of the country.

A Kurdish security official who does not have permission to speak openly with reporters confirmed local news reports that the target of the French jets was an Islamic State-controlled ammunition dump between the Mosul and Zummar, both of which are in Islamic State hands.

The French Defense Ministry said the French strikes were coordinated with “France’s allies in the region,” a certain reference to the United States, whose

aircraft have targeted Islamic State positions in the area dozens of time since President Barack Obama authorized military action in Iraq in early August.

France did not say where its aircraft were based.

The French attacks came as the U.S.Central Command announced that its aircraft had struck targets south of Baghdad, 300 miles from the French targets, on Thursday, Sept. 18 and Friday, Sept. 19.The U.S. strikes hit a boat on the Euphrates River supplying Islamic State positions, the fourth watercraft the U.S. had bombed that week, and a small Islamic State fighting unit.The statement from Central Command did not specify which attack took place when.

The French strikes represent the first concrete proof that the United States has found another nation willing to take direct action in countering the Islamic State in Iraq. U.S. lawmakers quizzed Secretary of State John Kerry and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel last week over which nations had committed to actual flying missions against the Islamic State after U.S. officials said they had won support from a broad coalition of European, Asian and Arab nations to confront the threat.

Previously, the only nation other than the United States known to have involved its forces in direct military actions against the Islamic State has been Iran, whose

armed advisers are believed to have accompanied Shiite militias into battle and whose pilots are rumored to have flown Iraqi aircraft on bombing runs.

Iran remains extremely suspicious of the involvement of the United States, as well as the participation in the anti-Islamic State coalition of Iran’s chief r e g i o n a l a d v e r s a r y, Saudi Arabia.

But the top Shiite religious authority in Iraq offered some political and religious cover for the decision to work in tandem with the American-led effort during Friday, Sept. 19 prayers.

The chief representative of Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the most influential religious figure among Iraq’s Shiite population and Shiite-led government, told worshippers in the holy city of Najaf that cooperation with outside powers was necessary to deal with the internationalized threat from the Islamic State, which has executed hundreds of Shiite Muslims, whom it considers heretics. Although the statement called for strict guidelines to protect Iraq’s sovereignty, the message from Sistani was the most direct yet that the threat warrants cooperation with the American military, which in many cases had fought directly against the very Shiite militias currently keeping the Islamic State out of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad.

“Even if Iraq is in need of help from its brothers and friends fighting back terrorism, maintaining the sovereignty and independence of its decisions is of the highest importance”

WORLD Europe worries about breakaway regions

“Even if Iraq is in need of help from its brothers and friends in fighting back terrorism, maintaining the sovereignty and independence of its decisions is of the highest importance,” al-Sistani’s spokesman, Sheikh Abdul Mehdi Karbala’i, said during the Friday, Sept.

19 sermon.

Al-Sistani previously had called for the remobilization of Iraq’s Shiite militias to combat the Islamic State after the Iraqi army collapsed and the Islamic State seized much of central and northern Iraq.

But even as the militias and thousands of volunteers heeded his call to defend Baghdad, many expressed concern about fighting with American support after a long history of fighting both Sunnis and American troops during the 2003-2011 U.S. occupation.

The Iraqi army, the Shiite militias and the autonomous Kurdish security forces, the peshmerga, have been battling the Islamic State on multiple fronts since June, but their campaign began to show success only after the United States began a campaign of limited airstrikes in August.

Baghdad continues to face limited terror attacks, including regular car bombings targeting Shiite neighborhoods and security forces. But Iraqi forces have managed to retake the Mosul Dam, break the siege of the town of Amerli, and recapture a town near Haditha in Anbar province with the help of U.S. bombing.

Still, much of the front line in Iraq has remained relatively stable since late June.

EDINBURGH, Scotland—European leaders worried about other wouldbe breakaway regions were able to breathe again Friday, Sept. 19, after Scottish voters’ resounding rejection of independence, but in the still-intact British Isles, the reaction was mixed _ for many, relief at the outcome, for others, anger and dismay at what might come next.

Death rates for children under five drop

GENEVA — In a break from the recent slate of doom-and-gloom reports of catastrophes, wars and destruction, a United Nations report released Tuesday, Sept. 16 says the number of children under 5 who die each year fell by 49 percent between 1990 and 2013, from 12.7 million to 6.3 million, saving 17,000 lives every day.

Chinese protest projects that threaten environment

BEIJING — China is a country with gargantuan environmental problems, deep distrust of government and a population that is increasingly wired through mobile devices. Put that together and it’s no surprise that large street protests are breaking out against waste incinerators, chemical plants and other industrial projects.

Obama releases U.S. response to Ebola outbreak

By Christi Parsons & Kathleen Hennessey TRIBUNE WASHINGTON BUREAU

ATLANTA (MCT)— President Barack Obama on Tuesday, Sept. 16, called the Ebola virus an epidemic unlike any the world has seen, and he pledged to ramp up the U.S. response while calling on other countries and charities to join in and act urgently.

The virus is “spreading faster and exponentially,” Obama told doctors, nurses and researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention here.

“If the outbreak is not stopped now, we could be looking at hundreds of thousands of people affected,” he said, arguing that there will be serious security implications beyond the affected nations in West Africa.

With that risk in mind, Obama said he is ordering the military to set up a joint force headquarters in Liberia to coordinate international relief, help build 17 new Ebola treatment units and support medical experts flooding the region.

The effort will involve an estimated 3,000 U.S. troops, according to the White House, and military medical staff will begin training 500 health care providers a week to care for patients and prevent transmission of the virus.

The timing of the U.S. response, months after the outbreak started and well after it raged across West Africa, puts pressure on the administration to act on its pledge as soon as possible, experts warned.

Laurie Garrett, a global health and infectious diseases expert at the Council on Foreign Relations, expressed cautious optimism about Obama’s plan. She called it a “game-changing start” that could rally other international partners to increase their involvement. But she worried it could take weeks for the resources to be in place, and longer to train and organize the needed brigade of health care workers from around the world.

“Right now, the virus is in charge. It’s spreading far faster than any reaction from international players,” she said. “To get ahead of the virus, we need to have a massive presence on the ground yesterday.”

Noting that the U.S. has spent more than $100 million on equipment, logistics and support for community

health workers in the region, advisers to the president argued that his timing is appropriate.

The new assistance comes as the need grows, White House press secretary Josh Earnest insisted.

“The CDC has responded aggressively to the situation since the initial reports of an Ebola outbreak became public back in March, so this has been a sustained effort that has been underway for some time,” he said.

White House officials acknowledged they don’t know how long it will take to get the treatment facilities running, nor how long the 3,000 military personnel will remain in West Africa.

Most cases of Ebola are in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, where the outbreak was first reported in March. As of Saturday, Sept. 13, nearly 5,000 Ebola cases were reported in the region, although many had not yet been confirmed through laboratory testing, the World Health Organization said Tuesday, Sept. 16.

Almost half of those believed infected have died.

The outbreak could take nearly $1 billion to bring under control, the WHO said, double what the organization estimated last month when it outlined a strategy to respond to the epidemic.

Obama talked about the need for quick action now.

“The world still has an opportunity to save countless lives,” he said, while acknowledging the problem will get worse before it gets better.

“The world has a responsibility to act, to step up and do more,” he said, adding that Ebola demands “a truly global response.”

His stop at the CDC was part of a 24-hour tour designed to burnish his image as commander in chief at a time when he is trying to sell a more aggressive foreign policy to the American public and members of Congress. He framed the Ebola outbreak as a security issue rather than a public health crisis.

“It’s a potential threat to global security,” he said. “If these countries break down, that has profound effects on all of us.” ___ ©2014 Tribune Co. Distributed by MCT Information Services
