Officer, UIndy alum shot in line of duty

Officer and UIndy alum Tim Jones was shot three times while responding to a report of a burglary.

“You know you get those sickening texts… and I about fell to my knees,” said University of Indianapolis Head Football Coach Bob Bartolomeo, reflecting on when he received the news that officer Tim Jones, UIndy alum and former football player, had been shot three times in the neck and head during a gunfire exchange while responding to a report of a burglary in Park Forest, Ill., on March 19. Bartolomeo received the news immediately on the morning of the shooting.

“To see that happen to that kid especially—he’s so vibrant and such a great kid, such a success story. He was just trying to do the right thing,” Bartolomeo said. “And to hear that, with any law officer—it was just a sad day.”

Redshirt junior wide receiver Malcolm Fogle spent one year of his UIndy football career playing alongside Jones. Although Bartolomeo contacted the staff and players

Adult day care opens at UIndy

By Nicole Monday ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR New addition to the University of Indianapolis community, Joy’s House, works with both people who need care and the caregivers. The house, located on Castle Avenue, provides “a safe and engaging place for adults who can’t be by themselves during the day,” according to Associate Provost and Executive Director of the Center for Aging and Community Ellen Miller.

According to “Caregiving in the U.S.,” a 2015 research report by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), an estimated 43.5 million adults, or about 18.2 percent of the population, have “provided unpaid care to an adult or child.”

According to the same research report, 34.2 million Americans have reported to providing “unpaid care” to an adult in the prior 12 months. With this statistic continuing to rise, according to AARP, the need for adult day care centers is ever growing.

“They [ Joy’s House staff members] refer to their clientele as guests, so it’s very much a home-based kind of model,” Miller said. “They serve guests, but also a huge part of what they do is support the caregivers who are bringing their

loved ones.”

According to Miller, Joy’s House has been a process that has been two or more years in the making. The idea of Joy’s House coming to UIndy arose after it was learned that the Southport Adult Day Center, with which UIndy had an affiliation, would be closing its doors. Miller, along with the director of the Southport Adult Day Center and President and CEO Tina McIntosh, realized that this would leave a need for an adult day center on the south side of Indianapolis.

“It was kind of this perfect storm of circumstances....’” Miller said. “Joy’s House—the actual house they are located in—the university owns. So we arranged for us to have them lease the space and then participated with them in some of the renovations. It’s been much more challenging than any of us thought it would be from the start, but it’s really worth it.”

McIntosh sent out an “all-points bulletin” near the end of renovations, asking for assistance from the community to help finish the process. McIntosh said that she was extremely impressed with the faculty, staff and students who came to volunteer their time.

“They just had a different energy and passion and interest in what we were

accomplishing here, and it could have not gotten done without them,” McIntosh said. “We wouldn’t have done this without UIndy.”

Now that the renovations are complete, and Joy’s House is fully operational, McIntosh hopes to continue the partnership with UIndy by involving students. McIntosh said that Joy’s House is always looking for volunteers in any way possible, whether that would be volunteering outside on the grounds or inside with the guests.

“If someone wants to volunteer, they can go to the website [joyshouse.org], call the office and speak to Mandy or stop in. We are open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.,” McIntosh said.

From 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. on April 18, Joy’s House will host a coffee meeting, open to all students, staff and faculty at UIndy. The open house is designed to let the community in and inform people about the service, according to McIntosh. McIntosh said that she also wants to show the community that just because Joy’s House is a group with guests who have disabilities, that does not mean they are a sad group.

“We are fun, lively, silly, sarcastic and smart,” McIntosh said. “Just because someone has a diagnosis, they are still important individuals, and they deserve to be safe and have a community and have their lives enriched.”

as quickly as he could, Fogle had already received the news almost immediately that day and said he had a hard time comprehending what had happened.

“I saw it on Facebook, and then I got a lot of texts from guys on the team,” Fogle said. “I immediately texted Tim, because I didn’t want it to be true. The only thing I could think to do was pray.”

As of The Reflector press time, Jones, a 2014 graduate, had been relocated to a rehabilitation center and was no longer on life support. Bartolomeo said that anyone who knows Jones would not be surprised at how he has survived through this. Jones fought and worked hard both on the field and in the classroom in his years at UIndy, Bartolomeo said.

“He was a tremendous student-athlete.

He really worked hard in both the academics and football world... Nobody worked harder,” he said. “In the first couple [of ] years, he paid his dues and didn’t play much, but he was a kid that was never going to be denied. He just kept getting better and better. By the time he was a

senior, he made a big impact on a championship team, a playoff team. He was a guy that was making an impact. He was always well liked by everyone on the team because everyone saw his work ethic, and he was always encouraging guys to do better, as well as himself. He was an all around team player.”

Fogle described Jones as a laidback, fun and great person to be around. He also witnessed Jones’ work ethic and teamplayer mentality as his teammate.

“As an athlete, Tim was always grinding. He went hard at every weight-lifting session and practice,” Fogle said. “He never took anything for granted. He taught me to cherish every moment in football, because once it’s over, it’s over.

You never had to teach Tim to give effort every day. Regardless of the circumstance, he gave his all.”

Fogle is one of the few players on the roster who remember when Jones was a part of the UIndy team. Nonetheless, Bartolomeo said, the team is constantly

Nationwide scholarship awarded to student

Nancy Larson Foundation Scholarship awarded to elementary education major Marty Robinson, one of nine students across the country to receive the scholarship

By Laken Detweiler SPORTS EDITOR Marty Robinson is a junior elementary education major at the University of Indianapolis and was honored with the Nancy Larson Foundation Scholarship this year. Robinson said his passion for teaching came from growing up without a mentor, and because of that, he decided that he wanted to be a mentor for children like him, so they would not fall behind.

Robinson wanted the chance to make a difference in students’ lives and build relationships with them.

“As I grew older, I realized that I was really good at connecting with children, a lot better than connecting with adults.

So I started pursuing education because I felt like I could really help establish relationships, which are really important with children. And [it’s] really important to me to establish relationships with students,”Robinson said.“…. Every door has just been opened up in front of me, so I felt like this is what I’m supposed

to do. I love being out in the classroom and I love being with the kids. It took a while to get to this point, but I kind of figured it out eventually, and it’s what I’m passionate about now.”

Robinson applied for the Nancy Larson Foundation College Scholarship, and after sending in recommendation letters and writing an essay, he learned he had received the scholarship. Robinson is one of nine people around the country who received it.

“[I wrote] an essay about why I wanted to pursue education, and a lot of the essay was about [Rita Pierson],” Robinson said.

“I like to quote Rita Pierson a lot. She talks about the power of relationships and being a champion for children. I wrote my essay [for the scholarship] about that, to promote how I think that, content and learning aside … the most important thing is relationships.”

Robinson said that he used the award for this semester, which has allowed him to dive all in.

“The elementary education program is very intense, because you write a lot of lesson plans and do a lot of work,” Robinson said.“The funding the scholarship has given me has helped me put money towards my tuition, so that I have not had to work this semester, as in a part-time job. And I’ve been able to dedicate 100 percent of my time to the program and to my major, so that I can excel and get the most out of my education.”

Robinson’s plans for the future include finishing his senior year and getting placed in a kindergarten classroom.

Accreditation

“At this point in time, when I start my senior year, I want to get placed in a kindergarten classroom and a third grade classroom,” he said. “My post-graduation hopes and dreams are to get my own kindergarten classroom, because I really like working with the primary grades. Somewhere here in the greater Indianapolis area, I’m pretty much open too. I just want to get plugged back into a school and start helping build those relationships with students and help progress them to their educational goals.”

Director of Elementary Education Nancy Steffel believes that because of his personality, Robinson will be successful.

“I didn’t know he had this award, because he’s very modest. He doesn’t need the fanfare. He’s more excited that this scholarship will put UIndy out there as being an outstanding program as opposed to, ‘Look, I got this’ kind of thing. So that’s the way he looks [at it],” Steffel said. “He has a lot of humility. He’s very much a collaborator [and] a team person: ‘You need something, I’ll be there.’ We have a student who just graduated last year, and > See Page 3

he volunteers in her classroom, to help her be more successful. They’ve developed a friendship, so he just spends hours every week in her classroom helping her and gets other students to volunteer, too, and so forth. He’s a very giving individual….

He’s just a good person who I’m excited about becoming a teacher and a colleague.”

Robinson is grateful for everything UIndy has allowed him to do thus far.

“Our education program here is really awesome. I chose this because it is one of the most prestigious. When you come out of here with an education degree, they’re like, ‘Oh, you went to UIndy?’ It’s really good.That’s why I chose here. It’s just really a great honor to receive this, so that I can be a recipient of this scholarship, but also be kind of a spokesperson for the education program here at UIndy,” he said. “A lot of people [have] a fairly negative stigma about becoming a teacher. But you know, it is a lot of hard work, and teachers are in high demand right now. Our program here spits out really high-quality teachers.

It’s just a really big honor to receive it and be part of the program.”

GAre We Entitled to Anything?

THE REFLECTOR

APRIL 13, 2016

We need to help one another win. We need to help one another eneration Me:win.

Heck No!

By Chelsea Faulk EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

I saw a movie around Christmas called “Joy.” The film was inspired by Joy Mangano, a self-made millionaire who created her own business empire by inventing a new kind of mop.

The plot of the movie is beside the point.

There was a really great quote in the film that really stuck in my head: “We got here from hard work, patience and humility, so I want to tell you: Don’t ever think that the world owes you anything, because it doesn’t.The world doesn’t owe you a thing.”

I left the theater with two things: inspiration and a newfound belief about entitlement.

Entitlement is the belief that you are owed something, from life in general or just because of who you are.

You can work hard and earn a reward, or you could do nothing and demand to be given something. Which would you rather do? One is a lot easier than the other, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to work out in your favor.

Honestly, I would much rather earn something based on my performance than be given something because I participated or I thought I was entitled to it.

Joy Mangano created a whole new mop and tried to sell it the best she could on her own. When that didn’t work, she didn’t give up. She pushed through, hitting several

Heck Yes!

bumps in the road along the way, until she crossed the finish line. She didn’t let anything stop her, so why should we?

You are not entitled to a single thing other than basic human rights, and you even have to earn those. Remember the golden rule? “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” You have to treat others with respect to be treated with respect. You can’t treat someone terribly and expect them to treat you with kindness.

You have to work for everything you want. Then, and only then, will you be given what you have earned.

You can’t expect to be given something for doing nothing. Entitlement is a delusion built on self-centeredness and laziness. It isn’t all about you. This isn’t your world, and the rest of us aren’t all just living in it. The world doesn’t owe you; you owe the world.

You owe it your time and talent.

You can’t just sit around and wait for something to happen. You have to make it happen.

You can’t just wait for somebody to come solve all of your problems. Someday is today and that somebody is you.

Yes, there will to be struggles, Yes, it will be hard. But in the end, won’t it all be worth it? Wouldn’t you rather say you struggled and prevailed and that the journey only made you stronger?

Let’s stop being known as the “entitlement generation”or “generation me.”

Let’s work for what we want. Let’s be patient and humble. Let’s realize that the world doesn’t owe us anything.

By Michael Rheinheimer OPINION EDITOR

“You are entitled to nothing” has become a rallying cry for the armchair warriors of all ages.This phrase oozes with an arrogance that is absolutely abhorrent to any educated citizen.

I am here to tell you that you are, in fact, entitled to many things.You have the right to feel entitled. First, let’s dispel a myth.

Picture the most stereotypical millennial you possibly can: eyes never leaving the screen of his smartphone, $300 shoes on his feet, a bad attitude and probably giving some sass to his parents.

Now, remember that this person does not exist. This person, who supposedly feels entitled to the entire world, does not exist. Are there people who feel entitled to something? Of course. But is there any single person who is the embodiment of all these angry, self-righteous Facebook posts? Of course not.

You are entitled to many things.

I grew up playing with G.I. Joes and plastic army men. In fact, my collection is so big, that I could sell half of it and be able to buy a new car.

All right, that’s not quite true, but the point I’m trying to make is that since I started walking, I wanted to be a soldier.

When I turned 18, I went to talk to my uncle. I thought of all people, the man who bought me my first BB gun would

surely be the most supportive of my future career plans.To my surprise, he begged me not to. I told him I wanted to serve my country like grandpa did in World War II. I was so sure that this line of reasoning would win him over. Grandpa Myers, after all, joined when he was just 17, and spent his 18th birthday providing fire support for U.S. infantry in North Africa.

My uncle looked at me and in a single moment humbled my 18-year-old feeling of immortality.

“If he was here, do you really think he would want you to go through the horrors he had to, or would he tell you to go to school and learn to make a living?”

Ever since that day, I’ve felt like a debt has been paid. I guess you could say, I’ve felt entitled to earn an education. By virtue of men like my grandpa, we are all entitled to a list of goods.

You are entitled to drink faucet water without being poisoned.

You are entitled to a life in this country free of harassment from law enforcement based on the color of your skin.

You are entitled to work your hardest to get ahead in life without discrimination.

You are entitled to a good education, despite how poor your parents and neighbors are.

And when our country’s institutions fail to deliver what you are owed, you have more than enough reason to be angry.

That’s not being bratty. That’s demanding the fair deal that you and your ancestors have been promised.

So call me entitled, but I think there are some things that I am owed.

An email was sent out to the entire campus about food changes being made for the remainder of the school year. It mentioned that the library café’s hours would be changed and explained that the Health Pavilion and library would be serving carry-out sandwiches and soups, which was an obvious change for the library but was something that the Health Pavilion was already doing.

Nowhere in the email did it say the made-to-order salads, essentially the entire purpose of having the Garden in the Health Pavilion, would no longer be available either. Without that knowledge, I was in utter shock on Wednesday when I found my options reduced to two lousy salads with no toppings.

My appetite for a salad made up of what I wanted, including a selection of

Seven years ago my pancreas decided to pack its bags and take a permanent vacation. As salty as I may be about this unforeseen departure, I hope it’s having a great time and is getting its tan on.

When I entered this new life of mine, I had no idea what was ahead of me. I spent nearly a week in the hospital adjusting and learning what would become my new daily routine: Wake up.

Check blood sugar. Decide what to eat.

Bolus. Check three hours later. Correct high blood sugar or treat low blood sugar. Repeat.

For the most part I have handled the change fairly well. I have accepted the fact that I can no longer eat whatever I want without consequences. But one thing I didn’t quite grasp, was the fact that this disease is somehow one big

joke to many people I run into.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 29 million Americans live with the disease. Many complications can arise from living with diabetes. If not treated properly it could cause one to go blind, have kidney failure, heart disease, a stroke and even lose a limb or two.

My guess is that the people who joke about diabetes are uneducated about it and have only see the commercials with Wilford Brimley; the ‘diabeetus guy’ from Liberty Medical or have heard the numerous studies shown on the news connecting Type 2 diabetes to obesity.

Both of these are shown in good taste, just received poorly by the general population.

Even though people are uneducated about this disease, that still doesn’t give them the right to joke about it. Diabetes is a serious disease and shouldn’t be taken lightly. Sure a joke here and there

said at the right time can be okay, but I still don’t hear people going around daily joking how they’re going to get breast cancer from drinking too much soda or eating a large slice of cake.

Being a Type 1 diabetic for seven years now, I can handle most jokes, but I still give my friends a look to make sure they know what they’re saying.

The year I was diagnosed, I learned that no disease is a laughing matter. I had joked around for a while that I had diabetes because I couldn’t go more than 30 minutes without peeing or drowning myself in some form of liquid, and my friend always joked that he had leukemia because of how easily he bruised.

He was diagnosed with leukemia the first semester of the school year; I was diagnosed with diabetes the last Saturday before that second semester began.

Don’t fool around with karma, y’all.

Students perform in drag show

By Chelsea Faulk EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

With intricate costumes and elaborate makeup, the 10th annual UIndy Drag Show was no “joke” on April 1. UIndy PRIDE and theatre honor society Alpha Psi Omega organized this year’s event in Ransburg Auditorium at the University of Indianapolis.

Stevoncé kicked off the show by singing an Adele medley that featured songs such as “Hello,” “Rumour Has It” and “Chasing Pavements.” After the welcome announcement, UIndy PRIDE Co-President Austin Elliott and APO Secretary Lizz Krull presented the judges.

The performances began after the emcees for the night, Stevoncé and Zaza, gave a brief introduction.

Songs such as “Pour it up,” “99 Problems,” “Don’t Rain on My Parade,” “Get Me Bodied,” “No,” “Formation” and “River Deep, Mountain High” were performed

by Ado Annie, Blair St. Clair, Charlize Montagne, Melody Monet, The Slayoncés, Andrea Merlyn, BeyonSlay and the Fly Honees, Zaza and many more.

UIndy alum Cate “Queen of the Dance” Noder returned to the stage with a dance performance and a standup comedy skit.

Audience members were encouraged to tip the performers. All donations and tips benefited the Indiana Youth Group,

Melody Monet performs “Don’t Rain on My Parade” by Barbra Streisand at the drag show on Fri., April 1. an LGBTQIA youth center and safe haven for youth in the Greater Indianapolis Region.

Sophomore psychology major Andi Bailey attended the drag show and said it is something she looks forward to all year.

“It’s that one time that we can all come together, allies and the LGBT[QIA] community, and just celebrate and be one community,” Bailey said.

At the end of the show, Elliott and Krull announced the winners of the

show and handed out a couple of captioned awards. Best Dressed went to Melody Monet, Congeniality went to Cate Noder, Runner-Up went to the Slayoncés, and First Place went to BeyonSlay and the Fly Honees.

“Everybody deserves to win,” Bailey said. “Just because the judges may not have picked them, does not mean that they’re not amazing.”

Senior theatre design and production major Jake Clark said that being a part of the show as Zaza was overall a really

fun process, especially because it was the tenth anniversary.

“It [the drag show] was something that was really empowering,” Clark said. “So it was a pretty cool opportunity to be able to host it and perform in it.”

Clark was inspired to create his character from a broadway musical and from a project in his costume design class.

“We thought it would be a really cool idea to create the character of Lady Zaza,” Clark said. “That way, I had a backstory of who I was performing as.”

Bailey said she loves this event and encourages students to go.

“It’s just fun to celebrate and dance along,” Bailey said. “Everybody there is there to be together, to not only have a good time, but to also support an amazing foundation that gives the LGBTQ[IA] community a safe haven.”

Clark thinks that this is a good event to break out of one’s comfort zone and encourages students to definitely attend in the future.

“Take a leap out; go out and do it.

And if you don’t like it, there’s no one forcing you to stay,” Clark said. “But I think that overall it’s a fun time. You get to laugh; you get to dance; you get to sing along; you get to support your fellow classmates. I think it’s a really good opportunity for people to kind of try something outside of their comfort zone.”

UIndy seeks to renew accreditation after AQIP visit to campus

Five Higher Learning Commission reviewers from across the country visit the University of Indianapolis, evaluate campus to see if it is a quality academic institution

By Robbie Hadley BUSINESS MANAGER Every eight years, the University of Indianapolis has to prove to the Higher Learning Commission, an arm of the United States Department of Education, that it is a quality academic institution. The 2015-2016 school year marks a review of the university to renew accreditation. Executive Vice President and Provost Deborah Balogh explained exactly what the Academic Quality Improvement Program is.

“AQIP is one pathway to accreditation of institutions for higher learning that are affiliated with the Higher Learning Commission, which is the regional accrediting body for schools

[of higher learning] in the Midwest,” Balogh said. “The pathway requires us to meet specific criteria for accreditation, federal compliance guidelines and AQIP standards as well.”

In short, AQIP is one way that the university can be accredited.

According to 50states.com, “Accreditation is a process of validation in which colleges, universities and other institutions of higher learning are evaluated.” Accreditation not only gives a stamp of quality from the DOE and HLC, but

also allows the university to give government financial aide to students.

Along with distance cooperation with the HLC, there was a team of five HLC reviewers from different states across the countr y that visited campus to review the University of Indianapolis in person, according to Associate Vice President of Accreditation Mary Moore.The reviewers were on campus April 4-6 and attended a student meeting that was in UIndy Hall B on April 5. Moore explained who the reviewers are.

“We want to be excellent quality; and we are going to keep moving forward and share with you how we are improving.”

“They are other academics or administrators from other institutions,” she said.

“No one comes to visit us from Indiana.

Four of them are more academic, and one is more of an administrator, but they are all peers to this institute. [They are] people who are very familiar with our type of institution. They are trained reviewers for the commission. But also, they are people whose own institutions may be AQIP, too.”

Moore explained that AQIP is different than other pathways to accreditation because it requires quality improvement.

“It is as if you are identifying yourself as a continuous quality improvement organization,” Moore said. “[It is] saying, OK, we are not only a good quality organization, we want to be excellent quality; and we are going to keep moving forward and share with

you how we are improving.”

Balogh also thinks that the AQIP pathway is the best path for the university.

“The benefit to having a continuous quality improvement is that throughout the eight-year accreditation period, it [the process] forces the institution to be continuously mindful of its efforts to improve....”she said.“There is a downside to writing a report every 10 years. The institution says to itself, ‘We have to get ready for accreditation again.’And if there are problems that have occurred in the interim, it’s very difficult to remediate those problems.”

Balogh said that she does not expect any issues with renewing UIndy’s accreditation. The final reports will be written and the university will receive notification within a few months.

Softball sweeps Illinois Springfield, 10-0, 2-0 After a weekend of GLVC games, the Greyhounds are 21-1 in conference play and currently sit at the top of the GLVC standings with eight conference games remaining

By Zoë Berg FEATURE EDITOR Currently ranked No. 1, the University of Indianapolis softball team has a 38-1 record, prior to competing against Urbana University on Tuesday, April 12. Over the weekend, UIndy swept the University of Illinois Springfield 10-0 and 2-0 on Saturday, April 9. The day before, the Greyhounds beat McKendree University 5-4 and 9-6.

While facing off against Illinois Springfield, UIndy had 16 hits between the two games. The pitching duties were split between senior pitcher Coryn Tirpak and Morgan Foley.

Against McKendree in game one, UIndy was down 2-0 at the end of the first inning but bounced back at the top of the second to tie the game at 2-2. The Bearcats had a 4-3 lead heading into the seventh inning. Junior utility Natalie Lalich stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded and hit a double, allowing two Hounds to cross the plate and take a 5-3 lead.

McKendree got on the board first in game two, but in the third inning UIndy scored four runs to take a 4-1 lead. The Bearcats scored five more runs before the end of the seventh inning, but it was not enough due to five runs that were scored between the fifth and sixth inning by the Greyhounds. UIndy earned a 9-6 win, and had 11 hits in the victory.

In the first game against Bellarmine, sophomore outfielder Jessie Noone hit a single in the sixth inning to start off the action for the Greyhounds. Senior catcher Jenny Thompson followed Noone’s single with a bunt, and freshman infielder Emma Varsbergs and Lalich followed with hits.

Varsbergs and Lalich were the only two to cross home plate, bringing the score to 2-0 in favor of the Greyhounds.

The momentum continued as UIndy won 9-3 in game two. Sophomore infielder Brooke Riess led the team with three hits and had her sixth home run of the season. Five Greyhounds had two hits apiece during the game.

Pitching duties for the two games were split between senior pitcher Miranda Tamayo and Foley. Foley pitched a total of 11.1 innings and threw 15 strikeouts.

Tamayo threw the first 2.2 innings of game

two and threw three strikeouts.

Before the games against Bellarmine, Liam Ealy threw out the first pitch in honor of the Hounds’ MDA Game. Ealy is the nephew of softball alum Megan Slightom and has muscular dystrophy.

The softball team has been raising money for MDA research through T-shirt sales and donations and before the game Head Softball Coach Melissa Frost presented the Ealy family with a check for $8,017.15 for MDA. According to Noone, each player had a responsibility of her own to raise money for MDA. “We focused on T-shirts and got a bunch of donations for Liam,” Noone said. “Each player on our team was to get a $250 donation from people … and that goes to Team Liam. And then we also sold T-shirts throughout the day … and I think we sold all of those except about seven of them.”

Both Noone and Frost said that the team felt strongly about helping raise awareness for MDA. Frost said that through the support of Slightom’s family, that they got to know more about Liam and MDA. “Megan played for me in my first couple of years here,” Frost said. “And their family has just been a great support system to the UIndy softball family. And unfortunately, at a young age, Liam was diagnosed with MD. They’re just a great, great family; and we just wanted to do what we could to give back and help out in any way possible. And it’s just really close to our team, and it really touches our heart in numerous ways, just as the Hall family does.”

During the game, both Bellarmine and UIndy wore “Team Liam” shirts to show their support for MDA. “Even though we’re rivals on the field, it’s a united front for MDA on the field,” Frost said. “That’s the biggest thing, and really that day was just to celebrate and honor and bring awareness to MDA….

I just can’t thank the people enough that supported us and donated and gave and bought shirts. I can’t say enough great things and enough thank yous to all of them in the community as well.”

According to Frost, the team has a goal of a National Championship this year after making it to the World Series last season. Frost said they are working hard in practice and on the field to make

it to the World Series again. She said their experience from last season will help them this year if they make it to the World Series.

“I think being at the World Series last year, and getting there, and Morgan throwing a no-hitter and shutting out the team that eventually went on to win it—I think this team just has a taste of what it’s like to get there and what caliber teams there are there once we get there,” Frost said. “I think we played great the first day of the World Series, and average the second day, and you just can’t do that.”

The Hounds have great chemistry this year, which will help them go far, Frost said. They are also working a lot on improving their hitting during practice Noone said.

“Just doing extra, coming in and staying after practice [has helped us improve],” Noone said, “and doing extra hitting. A lot of the girls have been coming to extra hitting this year, and it’s really shown, because we’ve been hitting a lot better.”

Noone also said that the Greyhounds have been working on doing their best and playing to win every game. She said they have been working together to help improve individually.

“I think we just try to hold each other accountable,” Noone said.“We know each other well enough that if we see someone slacking, we’ll call them out.… We just do everything we can to get better.”

Noone said to expect more wins from the team this season. The Greyhounds have three weeks of the regular season left before the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament begins.

Frost said that she would like to see UIndy continue to regionals and then on to the World Series, but that the Hounds will have to work hard to make it.

“I think it’s a tough road for us, that’s the big thing,” Frost said. “I think we have some quality teams coming up. Our schedule doesn’t get any easier. As a matter of fact, it gets harder…. It’s really a trying time for our girls academically, as the semester winds down, but at the same time, it’s really gear up time for softball.

So we have to give it our best on the field and in the classroom.”

The Greyhounds will travel to Ashland University for a non-conference game on April 14. The game is set to begin at 3:30 p.m.

Kristin Drabyn joins UIndy coaching staff

By Jessica Hoover NEWS EDITOR

Kristin Drabyn has been selected by the University of Indianapolis as the ninth head coach in UIndy women’s basketball history. The nationwide search for a new head coach was conducted after the termination of employment of the previous women’s basketball head coach Constantin Popa.

Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Sue Willey said that although Popa’s first few years were successful, he had failed to reach the NCAA Division II Tournament the past two years.

“Initially [Popa] was successful,” Willey said.

“L ooking at the first couple to three years, you can say, ‘Well, whose players were those? Were those recruited really by the previous coach?’ And what you look for after the initial couple [of ] years, [is] how does the coach maintain that level of performance? And it dropped off significantly.”

Popa was terminated after five years as head coach and four years as the team’s top assistant, according to the UIndy Athletics website. During the search for a new coach, Willey said, one candidate stood out to everyone in the interview process.

“We are so impressed by Coach [Kristin] Drabyn…. She just came in and blew our socks off in the interview. We had over 120 applicants for the position, and we brought three people to campus,” Willey said. “When we have people interview on campus, we have other coaches, all the administrators and our student-athletes all interview the candidates. When the last candidates come [to campus], we ask them [the interviewers] to rank them, first, second or third. And this was probably one of the few interviews where every group had the same person at the top.

We were all on the same page. We all thought that Kristin Drabyn would come in here and get the job done and build a strong staff. We’ll get our program back to where we want it.”

Drabyn started out her basketball career as a student-athlete from 2004 to 2008 at the University of MarylandBaltimore County. She then moved on to work as a graduate assistant at Texas Tech University from 2008 to 2010. Her assistant coaching jobs were from 2010 to 2011 at Holy Cross College, 2011 to 2013 at UMBC and 2013 to 2016 at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.

During her time at IUPUI, Drabyn helped the Jaguars get a 59-37 record. In the 2013 to 2014 school ye a r, s h e helped the team set a single-season program mark with 23 wins.

In the 2014 to 2015 season, the Jaguars finished 15-16, and in 2015 to 2016, they had a 21-11 season. According to the UIndy Athletics website, Drabyn’s last year at IUPUI led to a trip to the Women’s National Invitational Tournament, giving IUPUI its second-ever tournament win.

Drabyn was officially announced as the new women’s basketball head coach in a press conference in the Hines Room in Nicoson Hall on April 6 at 3 p.m. She said she would like to thank all of her mentors and family who helped her get to be where she is today.

“I’ve had wonderful mentors. I didn’t get here by myself. And I’m not going to get through this by myself,” Drabyn said. “So I do have a lot of confidence that people around me are definitely going to help me. And to be able to do it here, at the University of Indianapolis, it means a lot to me.… I wanted to be around people who were going to support me and help take care of me and essentially believe in my vision and in my passion. And I think I found the right place for me.”

“We all thought that Kristin Drabyn would come in here and get the job done and build a strong staff.”

Baseball sits at the top of GLVC East

By Laken Detweiler SPORTS EDITOR

With a split against the McKendree University Bearcats on April 8-9, Head Baseball Coach Gary Vaught earned his 900th career win. The University of Indianapolis baseball team sits at the top of the Great Lakes Valley Conference Eastern Division with a conference record of 8-4 as of Sunday, April 10.

Prior to splitting against McKendree, Associate Head Baseball Coach Al Ready said that the Hounds need to win every series to maintain their position in conference.

“If we can continue to win three out of every four games for the rest of the conference schedule, we’re going to win the East, or be in a really good position to win the East, at least,” Ready said. “So that’s our mindset, [to] just keep playing hard and [playing] team baseball and getting ourselves prepared and ready to go for each weekend, and we’ll put ourselves in the best chance to win each series.”

The games against McKendree featured scores of 7-5, 3-4, 3-8 and 13-7.

In the first inning of game one against the Bearcats, senior second baseman Anthony Asalon drove the fifth pitch of the game to right field to make it a 1-0 game. Four batters later, sophomore infielder Storm Joop hit a sacrifice fly allowing redshirt senior catcher Alex Ritchie to score from third base, making it a 2-0 game. The Greyhounds crossed the plate five more times before the end of the game. UIndy won 7-5 and had 13 hits in the win. Freshman infielder Kyle Orloff, Ritchie and Asalon had three hits apiece in the win.

Game two did not end in the Hounds favor. After back and forth play, the seventh inning opened up 3-3 and thanks to a walk off home run from the Bearcats, McKendree won 4-3. Ritchie recorded another three hits in the game.

Day two followed suit for the Greyhounds. UIndy fell in game three 8-3, but bounced back to win 13-7 after in game four after being down 3-0.

In the 13-7 win, UIndy had hits from seven different players. Leading the pack was junior utility Carter Pranger with five hits, two of which were home runs.

Matching Pranger’s two homers was freshman outfielder Devon Hensley.

The pitching duties in the win were split between five Greyhounds.

In the Hounds second GLVC matchup of the year, they competed against Lewis University on April 2-3. UIndy took the series 3-1 (17-9, 8-7, 11-6, 4-15).

Game one against Lewis opened with senior pitcher Matthew Kaplanis on the mound for the Greyhounds. Kaplanis pitched five innings for UIndy. Lewis got on the board first in the second inning with one run, but UIndy responded in the third and fourth innings with a total of 17 runs, to make it a 17-1 game heading into the fifth inning.

Once again the Flyers crossed home

first in the opening inning of game two, but at the bottom of the inning the Hounds responded with three runs. With the score tied at the bottom of the fourth, Orloff stepped up to the plate. With two outs already in place, Orloff found the left center field gap with a double allowing three runners to score, putting the Hounds up 7-4. At the top of the sixth, the score was tied 7-7 after four singles from the Flyers. With Asalon in scoring position, senior infielder Colin Hawk doubled at the bottom of the sixth allowing Asalon to cross home and put UIndy up 8-7 to win after a silent seventh inning.

Junior pitcher Connor Mailloux opened up day two on the mound for UIndy and earned the win. Game three of the series was silent for UIndy until the fourth inning, when six Hounds crossed home plate, making it 6-3. Between the fifth and sixth innings, UIndy put five runs on the board compared to Lewis’s three to earn the third win in the series.

Game four did not end in the Greyhounds’ favor. UIndy went through five pitchers in seven innings and allowed 15 runs on 13 hits, five of which were home runs from the Flyers.

Even with the 15-4 loss in game four, UIndy won the series, and that’s what’s important, according to Orloff.

“I mean, we started off hot,” he said.

“It’s hard to get a four-game sweep.

Like Storm [ Joop] said, all we’re trying to do is win the series, and we got three [games] right away. And today, [April 3,] they elevated the ball and just got on top early. We couldn’t string a couple of hits together, and that’s how we got down [in the final game].”

According to Orloff, the team has one goal in mind this season, and that is to win a National Championship.

Ready said that since September, the team has been meeting with Assistant Professor of Psychological Sciences Urska Dobersek once a week for 30 minutes to do team building, visualization and awareness exercises, to change the culture of the team. He believes the exercises have gone a long way towards getting the team and its culture where the coaches want it to be.

“Well, the last couple of years, I think, we’ve really done a lot about changing the culture and getting ourselves more towards team baseball,” Ready said.

“A lot of our wins this year, we’ve had multiple contributors. We’ve had guys step up off the bench and get big pinch hits…. You could go down the list and say something about every single guy on the team contributing to our success thus far, and that was one of our goals coming in [to the season].

“If you want to win a national title, you have to play team baseball. You have to have everybody on the team take on a roll [and] accept that roll and execute when they’re called upon. We’ve done it; we’ve done a good job up to this point.”

UIndy’s next game is today, April 13, at Maryville University. The game is set to begin at 2 p.m.

Men’s lacrosse extends win streak to four

By Melvin Mendez EDITORIAL ASSISTANT The winning streak continues at four as the University of Indianapolis men’s lacrosse team beats Ohio Valley University 15-9 on Sunday, April 10. Prior to that the Hounds beat Lake Erie College 9-7 on April 7, and earned their first overtime victory against Walsh University 5-4 on April 2.

UIndy took on Ohio Valley University only three days after facing Lake Erie College, and because of the quick turnaround, Head Men’s Lacrosse Coach Greg Stocks said the team needed to rest up in its short break before the April 10 competition.

“We just have to stay strong,” Stocks said prior to competing against Ohio Valley. “It’s a real short turnaround, because we’re playing on Sunday [against Ohio Valley]. So we only get two days’ rest.

And it’s staying sharp and staying fit for that game, [and] also making sure that we don’t overexert ourselves over these next couple of games and be[ing] ready to go against Ohio Valley.”

Ohio Valley scored three goals to open up the first quarter, but at 5:11 freshman midfield Kevin Spurlock began the Greyhounds scoring. Two minutes later, Spurlock found the back of the net again, and before the quarter was over freshman attack Shawn Kimble tied the game at 3-3 for UIndy.

The Fighting Scots took a 4-3 lead at 13:22, but junior midfield James Smith tied it right back up minutes later. The Scots scored one more time before the Greyhounds tallied eight unanswered goals between the second and third period to make it a 12-5 game. The Greyhounds scored three more times before the final

buzzer.

Freshman attack Parker Kump led the Hounds scoring with four goals. Spurlock and Smith tallied two each. Freshman attack Matthew Johnson and Shawn added two apiece to the Hounds total goals. Freshman defense Max Gerhardt finished off the scoring with his first goal of the year.

The goalie duties were split between freshman Jarod Kimble and sophomore Tanner Gurin.

Competing against Lake Erie College in front of a home crowd, the Hounds earned an early lead after a goal from Johnson at the 13:29 mark. Despite an early goal, UIndy ended the first half down 4-2. After the break, the Greyhounds scored four unanswered goals to close out the third quarter with a 6-5 lead. The fourth quarter produced a total of five more goals, three of which were scored by the Hounds.

The final score was 9-7 in favor of the Greyhounds, and according to Kump, the win came because of the Greyhounds’ teamwork.

“Our unselfishness [helped us to get the win], to do that one more pass, and instead of getting a good shot, we’d get [a] great shot,” Kump said. “Ball movement and everybody getting involved helped us get the win [against Lake Erie].”

Six Greyhounds scored in the win.

Johnson finished with two goals, while four other Greyhounds added one goal each. Kump led the team in scoring with three goals, including the tying goal to make it a 5-5 game with 6:32 left in the third.

“When I scored [the tying goal], I mainly just looked at the boys,” Kump said. “I saw them all hyped up on the sideline and saw them reacting, and I had a big smile on my face.”

Kump said the win was a very important one, because the game was against a ranked team.

“It’s great for the program and for the guys,” Kump said. “We’ve worked all school year, busted our butts, and I think we deserve it. We played great, moved the ball well, stuck to what our coaches told us to do and got the W.” The Greyhounds had the program’s first overtime victory on April 2 over Walsh University. Freshman midfield Luke Allen scored the game-winning goal with an assist from freshman attack Tyler Johnston. Before the matchup, Stocks knew the game was going to be competitive.

“We showed up [at Walsh University] playing a really gritty team at [their] home, and they didn’t want to lose in front of their home fans,” Stocks said. “They gave us all they had, and luckily we were able to come out on top.”

UIndy took the first lead of the game in the second quarter when Smith connected with Spurlock to net a goal at the 1:31 mark in the second. The Hounds led 3-2 heading into halftime. Out of halftime, the Cavaliers scored two goals to take a 4-3 lead over the Hounds with 11:38 remaining in the third. Smith scored eight minutes later to tie the game at 4-4. The tied score remained throughout regulation and forced UIndy’s first overtime matchup.

One sudden-death overtime proved to be enough for UIndy. Johnston connected with Allen at 2:10 to finish the game.

Four Greyhounds scored in the win, with Smith scoring two, and Johnson leading the team with 10 shots.

The next match for the University of Indianapolis is at 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 16, against Seton Hill University at Key Stadium.

Athletics Department enjoys UIndy’s success in DII

By Robbie Hadley BUSINESS MANAGER

The Health Pavilion, Greyhound Villages and the new engineering program are signs of the University of Indianapolis campus’s growth. This is particularly true in the athletic department.Within the last 10 years, there have been the additions of the Athletic Recreation Center, a new floor in Nicoson, new turf and lockers for Key Stadium and of men’s and women’s lacrosse programs.

All this growth, may raise the question of whether UIndy is aiming to participate in Division I NCAA athletics. According to Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Sue Willey, the answer, at least for her, is an unequivocal no.

“I would say, no, no, no—adamantly, no,” Willey said. “I just feel like Division II is the best niche. Most of our coaches are recruiting Division I student athletes and selling them on a Division II experience. If you think about it, 17 of our teams

last year went to post-season play. You go to Division I, and you’d be lucky to win a conference championship and get an at-large [playoff birth].”

Willey gave the examples of Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis and Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne, which both made a leap from Division II to Division I athletics. The two schools have not seen the success that they may have had in Division II. “They made that leap when it was easy to go to Division I,” Willey said. “But unless you have the money, you are just another wannabe. I don’t think that’s the experience we want to give to our student athletes.”

However, she did add one qualifier to her original statement. Money is the main issue, Willey said, and if the university could get a significant enough donation, she would support a move to Division I. “If somebody would commit $60 million a year to the University of Indianapolis for its athletics program, not one

time but every year, we could probably be a mediocre [Division I athletic] program,” Willey said. “You just have to find your best niche. It comes down to money. If you want your school to be an everyday Joe with your score on the tickertape, but it’s a losing score, we could do it. I don’t want that for our student athletes.”

Willey said, however, that with just a few administrative changes, the university might one day attempt a shift to Division I. “There hasn’t been that uproar, but with different leadership, I’ve seen it happen at other schools,” Willey said. “If a president and AD [athletic director] want it to happen, and they have the support of the board, it can happen. Then [if ] the president and AD move on to somewhere else, the school is left in narrow straits because they don’t have the money to be a DI [contender].”

While Willey doubts the possible success of Greyhound athletics in Division I play, Associate Baseball Head Coach Al Ready said that he thinks baseball could

thrive in a Division I conference.

“There are a lot of conferences that would probably love to have us. One that comes to mind would be the Horizon [League],” Ready said. “I think that would be a great fit for us. I think you could set your program up for a transition like that very easily.”

Ready said that he believes that the university’s location in a major metropolitan city would be a great help to a transition from Division II to Division I. “Our location is huge,” Ready said.

“Being right in the city of Indianapolis, one of the largest cities in the country, it’s an excellent location for a school like UIndy to make that transition to Division I, no question.”

The Greyhounds are currently members of the Great Lakes Valley Conference, except the men’s and women’s lacrosse, which are members of the Eastern College Athletic Conference and Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, respectively. Willey said, the GLVC requires that schools participate in all sports that

the conference offers, so it would not be possible for one sport to move to Division I without all athletic teams switching out of the GLVC. However, Ready said that if the Greyhounds ever did make the transition to Division I, the baseball program’s largest obstacle would be depth in the bull pin.

“It would start with recruiting,” Ready said. “You are going to go out, and you are going to go after some more volume in terms of arms. With a Division I tag, you’re going to be able to get a few better arms as well.”

While the university has no plans to move to Division I at this moment,Willey said things can change. Both Willey and Ready agree that athletics has grown and will continue to do so, but Ready wants to keep the same environment for his players no matter what conference.

“I think baseball is going to thrive here at UIndy,” Ready said. “Our program is a haven for these kids, they just love being around and showing up to practice every day. I don’t see that changing.”

“I never did speak up. So I think my encouragement for others... is [to] speak up even if you feel like it can hurt the person that is assaulting you. It’s about you, not them.”

SEXUAL ASSAUL Survivors: Speaking out against sexual assault

By Ashlea Alley ONLINE EDITOR

Indiana has the second highest rate in the nation of forced sexual intercourse for females in 9th-12th grade, according to Indiana Public Media, and 15 percent of sexual assaults and rapes in Indiana are reported to the legal authorities. The Office of Women’s Health defines sexual assault as, “any type of forced or coerced sexual contact or behavior that happens without consent.” Sexual assault does not just include rape, but attempted rape, child molestation, sexual harassment and threats. Both men and women are affected by sexual assault.

On Sept. 18, 2015, Pop star Lady Gaga, released a single and music video for her song,“Til It Happens To You.” The video illustrates different examples of sexual assault and abuse on college campuses throughout the country. Lady Gaga is not the only celebrity who is taking a stand on sexual assault. Celebrities like Rose Bryne, Joel McHale, Kevin Love, Randy Jackson and Connie Britton have also taken a stand against sexual assault and took part in the White House’s PSA “It’s On Us.” Sexual assault on campus According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, one in five women and one in 16 men are sexually assaulted while in college.

UIndy student Sally* said she was sexual assaulted by someone she knew for about 10 years.

“People are always afraid they’ll get kidnapped off the street, but usually it’s the people you know the best,” Sally said.

“I had known this guy for half my life.

He was one of the only people I knew coming here.”

Sally said her relationship with her assaulter began as a friendship but turned into something more and he began to move more quickly than she would have liked.

She said he would make stereotypical remarks like, “I really like you,” and “This could really go somewhere.”

“I got this false sense that maybe he’s not perfect, but he cares about me,” Sally said.

She said the worst was on March 1, 2014, in his residence hall on campus. She said things started on the far bed on the other side of the room, without her permission, and she finally got him off of her.

“Luckily for me, he wasn’t much bigger than me,” she said. “He tried, but he obviously accomplished more than I would have liked. But it didn’t end up being the worst-case scenario situation you usually hear.”

She remembered sitting in the corner of the bed nearest to the door shaking and crying waiting for him to escort her out of the building, due to the escort rule in the freshman dorms. She said her assaulter began to switch the fault and turned the situation into something for which she felt guilty.

“He started to get upset and tried to make me feel bad by saying things like, ‘I can’t believe I did this,’” Sally said.

Sally said she had a hard time realizing that it was not her fault and that he had assaulted her. She said she knows that women often feel at fault when sexual assault occurs, but she wants people to know that if this happens, it is not because

of what they do or wear and if someone says no, it means no.

“Obviously, I knew this entire thing wasn’t my fault, but I felt like I did have a part of the blame because I kept going back to his room,” Sally said. “It was smaller stuff at first, but I kind of pushed things to the side that shouldn’t have been pushed to the side. So when I was talking to one of my friends and explaining what happened, I told her I had a hard time saying something, because I didn’t want to get him in trouble, because I’d feel bad.

But I shouldn’t have felt bad for getting him in trouble for something he totally did. I just felt bad. But then eventually, I ended up telling, because [of ] a realization that this wasn’t right.”

It took Sally awhile to be OK with sharing her story, but she said the situation does not bother her as much as it had in the past. She saw that she might have the opportunity to help others by sharing her experience.

“I realized [that] if this were only going to effect me, like he wouldn’t ever do it again, I probably wouldn’t have said anything,” she said. “But I came [to] the realization [that] if someone came up to me and told me that he had done that to them and I hadn’t said anything, I’d feel awful. So that is what finally got me to say something, realizing that it wasn’t just going to affect me.”

After the whole experience was over, she said she felt lucky to have had the authorities believe her.

“I didn’t realize what kind of blessing it was until later, but the school actually believed me,” she said. “I know that can be a problem because, unfortunately, some

people say things that aren’t true, but I think the people at this school can tell when you’re hurt or when there is an issue, even if it’s not the worst-case scenario. I was afraid they were going to say, ‘This isn’t even sexual assault. Just get over it.’

Because it hadn’t gone all the way.”

Sally said her situation was never brought to the police, per her request, but disciplinary actions were handled through the University.

Domestic sexual assaults Sexual assault occurs not just on college campuses, but also domestically. The NSVRC reports that 34 percent of people who sexually abuse a child are family members and more than one-third of women who report being raped before age 18 also experience rape as an adult.

UIndy student Mary* was a victim and survivor of sexual assault. She was assaulted when she was seven years old and her assaulter was 16 years old.

“I didn’t speak out about it at all. I didn’t even talk about it until I was 15,” she said.

“We got caught by my ‘fake aunt,’ who is his real aunt. She walked in and saw us touching each other. She said, ‘Young girls aren’t supposed to do this, and if you tell your mom, I’m going to lie.’ And that is why I never told anyone, because I was scared.”

When Mary told her mother about what happened, she said her mother was furious. Later, her assaulter was arrested for doing the same thing to other people.

Mary said she just wishes she had said something sooner.

“I never did speak up. So I think my encouragement for other girls is speak up even if you feel like it can hurt the person

that is assaulting you,” she said. “It’s about you, not them. I think a lot of times you try to take the ownership of the person, like ‘oh it’s my fault,’ but it’s not. Speak up and speak out, because someone else could be getting hurt, and you don’t even know it. Yes, being that voice is hard, but the relief afterwards is liberating in a sense of you really do feel like a burden has been lifted off of you. Trust your gut and trust your instincts, because you could be helping others.”

UIndy resources No matter the circumstance, using the resources on campus is important, according to Sally and Mary.

“It’s important that people are believed when they tell these things,”Sally said. “So if the school is divided on it, or indifferent, people aren’t going to feel comfortable sharing. I love that they started UIndy PACT just after my incident. I thought it was really neat to see how the school was like, ‘Hey, this is a major issue, and we notice it, and we are going to try to help.’

I thought that was really neat.”

UIndy offers free counseling for up to three sessions, and UIndy PACT also offers students to help when help is needed. If a student is experiencing sexual assault and needs help, he or she can visit the Student Counseling Center located in Schwitzer Student Center, suite 210.

The counseling center has crisis hours as well if the situation is urgent, if someone is not available or the students decides to talk to someone anonymously, he or she can call 1-800-656-HOPE. *Names were changed to protect students’ identities.

Sexual Assault Statistics The Office of Women’s Health defines sexual assault as, “any type of forced or coerced sexual contact or behavior that happens without consent.”

According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, one in five women and one in 16 men are sexually assaulted while in college. More than 90 percent of those victims do not report the assault.

The NSVRC also reports that among college women, 9 of 10 victims who were sexually assaulted knew their offender, and 81% of women and 35% of men report significant short-term or long-term impacts such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

According to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network: 44% of victims are under age 18. 80% are under age 30.

Every 107 seconds, another sexual assault occurs.

98% of rapists will never spend a day in jail.

UIndy offers help for those involved in sexual assault

By Jessica Mehrlich EDITORIAL ASSISTANT Sexual assault cases can be scary for all parties involved, according to Director and Staff Psychologist at the Counseling Center for Growth and Development Kelly Miller.That is why the University of Indianapolis’Student Counseling Center is open to victims, those accused and those falsely accused.

Through the center, students have access to individual counseling that is confidential and free. Miller said that the counseling center is a good place for students who do not know what kind of action they would like to take, because all sessions are confidential.

“What you say here stays here,” Miller said. “We are not mandated reporters.”

If students come in contact with sexual assault or other types of violent situations, they are able to turn to the UIndy counseling staff to work out a plan of action. By meeting with a counselor, students are able to talk through what happened, seek help and learn all of their options when it comes to reporting.

Miller said that the counseling center gives students the space to work through what they want to do and plan their next step, if they choose to take any.

The counseling center is located in the Schwitzer Student Center suite 210. It is open throughout the school year, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Although the center closes during the summer, Miller said that

there are still plenty of places on campus for students to turn to for help. Miller pointed out that Director of Student Support and Parent Programs and Title IX Coordinator Erin Stoner works full time, year round.

“The education, training and prevention work is under my umbrella,” Stoner said. “On the other side of that is also the investigation. So it is my job if a complaint were to come forward or a victim had an allegation, to oversee that process and oversee that investigation, so that the victim and the alleged perpetrator are aware of the resources and know their rights throughout the process.”

Stoner said that if any student needs help over the summer, she will still be on campus and be more than willing to get the person in touch with the resources and services he or she needs.

“I get to help victims and alleged perpetrators go through the process and help them, because it is a scary thing,” Stoner said. “It a scary process for anybody to go through, on both sides. Being able to be the person that will give them comfort, their rights, the accommodations we can provide and just being that support system is what really drew me to this position.”

One movement on campus that Stoner headed was the implementation of victim-and trauma-informed training for faculty and staff.

“When we first started [our research], we quickly realized [that] we needed more people trained in the area,” Stoner said.

“We wanted it to be a victim-informed approach and trauma-informed approach,

so we wanted to get more faculty and staff trained on how to actually do the investigations in that manner.”

In order to better serve the campus Stoner researched what the most upto-date and effective identification and rehabilitation techniques for students involved with sexual assault incidents.

“When we first started [the training], we brought ATIXA [Association of Title IX Administrators] to train faculty and staff on campus, and that is the national association for Title IX administrators,” Stoner said. “We brought in a representative from ATIXA; we brought in an expert to train faculty and staff. And

Quick Title IX Facts 1. Title IX is a landmark federal civil right that prohibits sex discrimination in education.

2. Title IX does not apply to female students only.

3. Your school must be proactive in ensuring that your campus is free of sex discrimination.

4. Your school must have an established procedure for handling complaints of sex discrimination, sexual harassment or sexual violence.

5. Your school must take immediate action to ensure a victim can continue their education free of ongoing sex discrimination, sexual harassment or sexual violence.

6. Your school may not retaliate against someone filing a complaint and must keep a victim safe from other retaliatory harassment or behavior.

7. Your school can issue a no contact directive under Title IX to prevent the accused student from approaching or interacting with you.

8. In cases of sexual violence, your college is prohibited from encouraging or allowing mediation (rather than a formal hearing) of the complaint.

9. Your college should not make you pay the costs of certain accommodations that you require in order to continue your education after experiencing violence. http://knowyourix.org/title-ix/title-ix-the-basics/

yeah, it was voluntary. We just put the feelers out and said anybody interested in helping students through this process and actually doing investigations, let me know and you can come to this training.

We had a good pool of faculty and staff that were interested in doing so, and they came to the training. It was a two-day training that they went through and got certified. That was a year and a half ago.

So obviously we do continue education with the investigators, so they don’t lose what they learned throughout the year , [and] so they can keep up to speed with best practices and things like that.”

According to Stoner, remembering that this is a sensitive subject for the victim and others involved is important. She said that there are many paths of action and resources on campus that are available. But above all, she wants to make this process as helpful and comfortable as possible.

“I would just say to remember that it is always up to them,” Stoner said. “They have the right to proceed how they want to proceed but we are here as administration, as people... [whose] main goal is to help. That’s all we want to do, is help them through the process. I encourage them to come forward and make reports so we can hold people accountable, if that is what they want. But they have power over their own situation. They have the power to come forward. They have the power to not come forward. They have the power to seek help if they want to.

If not, it is completely up to them. Our role, my role on campus, is to help them through the process.”

LT AWARENESS Campus safety

By Maia Gibson STAFF WRITER Twice a week, freshman psychology and pre-occupational therapy major Katie Ellsworth walks from her job at the Stierwalt Alumni House to her residence hall on the north side of campus after dark.

Ellsworth does not feel unsafe on those walks, but recognizes that walking alone in the dark is a vulnerable situation to be in.

According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, one in five women and one in 16 men are sexually assaulted while in college. More than 90 percent of those victims don’t report the assault. The NSVRC also reports that among college women, 9 of 10 victims who were sexually assaulted knew their offender.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and the University of Indianapolis is promoting awareness through various events, including a self-defense workshop and bystander intervention training. This promotion of personal safety awareness is something that the UIndy Police Department and Chief of Police David Selby are committed to and constantly doing.

One of the things that Selby and his officers are committed to is the UIndy PACT. PACT stands for Protect, Advocate, Communicate and Transform.

It is a campus-wide movement to spread awareness about sexual violence, relationship abuse, harassment and violence prevention, bystander education and more.

“I committed to PACT, I committed to signing the petition and my guys signed the petition,” Selby said. “We believe very strongly that it’s our responsibility as police officers, [and] our responsibility as community members, to take care of our community and the people in our community.”

Selby created a public safety webpage that can be accessed via MyUIndy. On the page, students can find safety tips and warning signs, emergency management, fire safety, and Title IX information, report sexual assaults and other offenses, and sign the UIndy PACT.

“Sexual assault is one of the leastreported things. I haven’t received one since I’ve been here,” Selby said. “What we [Campus Police] try to do is train people to take personal responsibility for their safety, utilize the stuff that we have on campus and then educate themselves.

I would encourage students to get on and read this information.”

Campus Police also offers a number of on-campus safety measures, including emergency telephones around campus, card access to residence halls, Watchdog and multiple ways to report assaults and other offenses anonymously. This year, the department also added two new programs to help with student safety.

The first is the dispatch partnership with the Marion County Emergency Communication. Because of this partnership, when a student calls 911, Campus Police and other emergency services, such as Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, will immediately be notified and dispatched.

“When you call 911 now, everybody’s going to hear about it. IMPD, us, we all listen to the same radio,” Selby said. “It’s not like we’re isolated in our own world now. We have people listening that I don’t have to call [for backup] because they hear it, and they’re [already] on their way.”

The other new addition to campus safety is an escort program. If a student feels uneasy walking alone on campus at night, he or she can call Campus Police and an officer will escort him or her to the desired destination. According to Selby, very few students have taken advantage of this program. However, Ellsworth could see herself using the service.

“I usually call someone, and they just stay on the phone with me until I get back to my dorm,” she said. “[But] if I felt unsafe, I would use it [the escort program].”

While these measures increase safety on campus, Selby also emphasizes the importance of students taking responsibility for their own personal safety.

“When a student comes here, there’s a policeman at their beck and call, or within a mile of them, at all times, so our response time is a minute or two,” Selby

said. “When you leave here and you go to Chicago, or you go to St. Louis, or just here in Indianapolis . . . you may wait two hours. The point is, not only are we protecting you here, but we’re educating you, because when you leave here, you have to take some responsibility for your own personal safety.”

Limiting risks is one of the ways that students can take responsibility for their personal safety, Selby said.

“It’s all about mitigating the risk that you have so something bad doesn’t happen,” he said.

He suggested that students walk in groups across campus late at night or call for an escort, lock their rooms when going to bed, not prop the residence hall doors open and learn the warning signs of abusive and other violent behaviors.

If a student is sexually assaulted, he or she should go to the police immediately, Selby said, whether it is Campus Police or IMPD. He or she should refrain from showering and changing clothes. While speaking with the police, the student can choose to press charges or to have something administratively done.

To limit the risk of sexual assault or other violent attacks, Selby also strongly encourages that students share what is going on in their lives, especially when it comes to first meetings.

“Tell people. If you’re having problems with some guy, come talk to me, talk to whoever you feel comfortable about [talking to], but talk to somebody,” Selby said.

“Don’t make it a secret. You have friends.

If you’re going out with this guy for the first time, let people know. That way, if you don’t show up or you’re missing, then when I go talking to people, now I know who to go talk to. Don’t keep it a secret, let people know what’s going on. That’s part of this whole being part of the community [and] taking care of each other.”

According to Selby, the bottom line is for students to take responsibility for their personal safety, to prevent sexual assault and other safety violations.

“I stress that they [students] take some responsibility for their own personal safety,” Selby said, “educate themselves, and join us in protecting our community.”

>> If you plan to see this movie, and you don’t want me to ruin it, don’t read this. This movie is a cross between comedy and horror genres. But it was neither funny nor scary. I was not a fan. I will admit that I did not know this movie had a connection with “The Purge” series, so maybe I would have enjoyed it more if I had more information before paying for this mediocrity. The movie opens with Snoop Dogg in whiteface, which is odd in and of itself and was a good indicator of how misguided the plot of this movie would be. A sort of parody of “The Purge,” Carl Black, played by Mike Epps, steals the fortune of his incarcerated ex-business partner and moves his family out of Chicago into a mansion in Beverly Hills.Their move is right before the annual purge, which Carl refuses to believe in until his daughter’s boyfriend tries to kill the family. The President is played well by George Lopez, who announces the purge and tells Jay Leno to pick one of his fast cars and drive because Lopez is coming for him. The movie continues with a dozen or so more deaths and very little movement or development of the plot.

The only notable character development was made by Carl’s wife Lorena, Zulay Henao, who bonded with Carl’s kids by the disappointing end of this movie.

Other notable features included a KKK character, Carl’s perverted nephew, Mike Tyson and a comic book opening that was cooler than the entire movie.

>> If you have not heard of Lukas Graham, then you are missing out on a truly spectacular artist. Graham, who was signed by Warner Brother Records in 2013 and has been dominating the airwaves with his smash hit “7 Years,” has released his first U.S. album, after releasing two albums prior in his home country of Denmark. I have been following Graham since I first heard “7 Years,” and I have been waiting for his album with bated breath. The album is a mix of happy and sad melodies, all with lyrics that have so much meaning and power behind them.

My favorite song on the album, “Mama Said,” is a happy, upbeat melody that makes me smile and sing along every time I hear it. Another song that really resonated with me was “You’re Not There.”

This song is about how Graham felt after losing his father a year ago. The chorus, which says “you’re not there, to celebrate the man that you made, you’re not there, to share in my success and mistakes,” shows how much Graham really misses his father, and the lyrics are relatable to anyone who has lost someone they love in their life. Graham channels his personal experiences into his music, which is what I truly love about him. If you are looking for someone who is down-to-earth but can also make you think, then look no further than Lukas Graham. I cannot wait to see what this new artist does next with his career. Hopefully Graham will start a new era in pop music.

>> The Greek Islands restaurant is the real deal when it comes to authentic Greek cuisine.

This is evident before you walk in the door.

The exterior is painted the sky blue and white of the country’s flag, and a delicious smell meets you at the door. The meal began with a traditional saganaki, which is a block of cheese set on fire. The server walked up to the table, doused the skillet in what I assume was oil, lit it, and the cheese erupted into flame, as our server erupted in a cry of “Opa!” The cheese was very tasty, and reminded me a bit of a grilled cheese with pita and lemon juice, which had been used to put out the flame.

For the main course, I enjoyed a dish called “Around the Islands,”a combination plate of moussaka, a layered dish of eggplants, potatoes, ground beef, béchamel sauce topped with tomato sauce and graviera cheese. I also tried some of my friend’s Kota, a chicken dish flavored with olive oil, garlic, oregano, black pepper and lemon. The dish was very well seasoned and prepared, and it seemed incredibly authentic. Our meal was rounded out with a piece of very light and airy Greek cake and Greek coffee. The cake had a nice texture to it, though it had a layer of some kind of fruit jam, which I didn’t care for. The Greek coffee reminded me of an espresso, in the sense that it was served in a small cup. Overall, my experience at the Greek Islands restaurant was fantastic, and I definitely plan to make a return visit.

>> After spending a few years away to grieve her husband’s death, Maisie Dobbs returns to England. In an early morning of the winter of 1938, Maisie takes a walk around the square to reminisce about old memories she shared with her husband. Suddenly, Secret Service agents appear and tell Maisie that her country is in need of her services again.

Maisie must travel to Munich to retrieve a man who has been imprisoned for the past few years in a Nazi jail. However, the British government is not the only party interested in Maisie’s travel plans.

Her nemesis also needs Maisie’s help.

This novel is full of twists and turns as she realize the man she is supposed to be retrieving from the Nazi jail is not there. The man guards bring to her is just another prisoner impersonating him.

Maisie ends up playing a very dangerous game with the Nazi government. Armed only with a wig and an old gun, Maisie is determined to find the man that her government has sent her for, only to realize that he is going to play a crucial part in the upcoming war. My favorite part of this book is how Maisie reacts when the Nazis come to look through her room, expecting to find something incriminating.This novel follows Maisie’s journey and the unexpected dangers she experiences while in the heart of Nazi Germany. While this novel was not the greatest book in the Maisie Dobbs series, it was still entertaining.

>> While the very loud atmosphere may not be ideal for young children, The Tornado Sirens of the Naptown Roller Girls league, who compete at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, would be great fun for almost everyone else to watch.The bout that I attended was between the Torando Sirens and the Dynamite Dolls, a roller derby team from Evansville, Ind. The atmosphere and competition were as gritty as sporting events come these days, providing plenty of wipeouts and hardhitting moments. With both teams trying to get their jammer to lap the other team while blocking off the opposing jammer from lapping them. While the scoring is a little difficult to understand at first, I encourage anyone interested in sports or competitions to give the Naptown Roller Girls league a chance, they will not leave you disappointed. The best part of going to see the Tornado Sirens in action is not only seeing all of the crushing hits but also being a part of the very loud crowd of people who are very vocal in their support for their team. After the Tornado Sirens’ 391-37 victory over Demolition city, everyone was in celebration over the win that improved the team’s record to 2-1 and the players signed autographs for the children in attendance. For only $12 with your student ID, you can go check out the Tornado Sirens and their junior varsity team the Warning Belles on April 16 when they take on Team United at 6 p.m.

The newest art gallery in the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center, “Pulse: Annual UIndy Juried Student Exhibition,” displays various works of art from UIndy students. Students have worked on their pieces all year, and the work was selected by two jurors for display.

Students display their work, projects in latest exhibition in CDFAC art gallery

By Mercadees Hempel MANAGING EDITOR

This year’s annual student art exhibition had a lot of firsts. “Pulse: Annual UIndy Juried Student Exhibition”was the biggest student exhibition in the last few years, according to Chair and Associate Professor of Art and Design Jim Viewegh.

Assistant Professor of the Art and Design Department Katherine Fries said this year had more submissions of artwork and pieces in the gallery than before.

“This year was kind of a record year for us,” Fries said. “Last year, we just broke 200 entries, and this year, we just killed it with 308. And that just really speaks to our students’ dedication, how hard they work, the quality of work that they have, and we’re just incredibly proud of them.”

Fries also teaches a printmaking course at the University of Indianapolis, which was taught for a while but then became dormant. According to Fries, though, printmaking is now making a comeback.

Viewegh said that the range of courses that are now being offered in the art and design department also contributed to how big “Pulse” turned out.

“The department of art and design now has a full offering of studio areas,” Viewegh said.“It used to be that we didn’t have printmaking, we didn’t have sculpture, we didn’t have digital media. Now we have all those. So we have ceramics, drawing, painting, digital photography, digital media, sculpture, [and] printmaking.”

The reception for “Pulse” was held on April 4 at 4 p.m. in the Christel DeHaan art gallery. A musician played music throughout the event, food was served

and a photo booth was set up for guests and students to use. Guests and students walked around the gallery, gazing at the paintings and drawings, examining the sculptures, or taking part in the interactive displays. According to Viewegh, out of all the pieces that were submitted, 50 to 55 percent were selected by this year’s jurors.

Viewegh said that Fries’s work with the Art and Design Student Academy helped push students to submit to the exhibition as well. According to Fries, the Art and Design Student Academy, which was started last year with only seven to eight members and has now grown to about 30 members, is not a Registered Student Organization yet, but it runs like an art club, and any student can become a member.

“We essentially try to create a community and build our community together and work on projects that are serviceoriented or art-oriented or just plain fun,” Fries said.

Fries said that to help students, the academy encouraged students to participate in the exhibition submission process, held workshops for the artwork that students wanted to submit, explained what the student exhibition was and why it was important and also helped with planning the details of the reception.

Fries also said that the student-based design group, ONE14, branded the student exhibition as “Pulse” and also designed the advertising and posters for

“Pulse.”

“We were working really hard this year and last year to make this a big celebration for our department, to get all our students involved, to get all our many entities within the department involved, and [to] just come together as a big community and family in some ways,” Fries said.

Viewegh said this was also the first year that two jurors were selected to examine the work for the gallery. One juror was an art historian who looked at the studio art submissions, while the other juror was UIndy alum and designer Valerie Wilson, who looked at the submissions for digital communication design, digital media and photography.

Along with choosing which submissions would be displayed, jurors also award prizes to certain students. The awards for “Pulse” were announced at 5 p.m. during the reception.

The Best of Show winner was senior art education major Sarah Scarano, who got three of her five submissions into the exhibition. Scarano’s piece “Spine” took home the Best of Show award while her piece “Pelvis” won Best in Printmaking.

Scarano said she was pleased and surprised when she heard the announcement about the award.

“I was really surprised because printmaking … it was a brand new medium for me,” she said. “And then Best [of ] Show, of course—I was shaking. It’s just really cool.”

“You should always try and submit, because even if you don’t win anything, having it up there for everyone to see is an incredible feeling.”

Professor of Music Mitzi Westra performs during “The Pleasant King” on March 28. Associate Professor of Music Elizabeth Hoegberg also performed in the show.

UIndy music professors perform ‘The Pleasant King’

By Morgan Ellis STAFF WRITER Performing the music of Schumann, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Hugo Wolf and others, Assistant Professor of Music Elisabeth Hoegberg and Assistant Professor of Music Mitzi Westra performed multiple musical pieces together bringing in the newest season on March 28 in the Ruth Lilly Performance Hall.

“The Pleasant King: Songs of Spring and the Seasons” featured sung texts in English, French and German and piano solos by Albéniz and Tchaikovsky.

“For me, music is really key to what I love to do [writing], so I incorporate music with what I love to do,” said freshman professional writing major Joseph Fields.

Fields talked about the elements of the performance he found most enjoyable.

“The most enjoyable parts for me were [Westra’s] facial features,”he said.“To me, that is the key to expressing emotion to the audience.”

After the performance, Hoegberg and Westra mingled backstage with some of those who attended the concert, such as colleagues and family members, and Hoeberg reminisced about where her

love of music began.

“I was going on a car trip somewhere with my parents, and I heard this piece

by Vaughn Williams, and I thought it was the most beautiful piece I had ever heard. I wanted to know how it was put together,” Hoegberg said. “And that was the moment I knew that music was what I wanted to study.”

Hoegberg briefly talked about the connections she made with her performance with Westra.

“My favorite piece was ‘October’ from ‘Les Saisons.’ I just love the color and the emotion in the piece. And also, I have an October birthday, so it’s my month,” Hoegberg said.“I have always loved Tchaikovsky, and he has a lot of piano music.

But we tend to think of his big works like ‘The Nutcracker,’ for example, or his ‘Swan Lake’ and his ballets. But there is actually this whole body of piano music.”

Westra shared a similar taste in seasons with Hoegberg.

“The last line of that [‘Autumn’] gives me shivers when it says, ‘When Fall turns her head and smiles and brings the peace of God,’” Westra said.

As music professors, Hoegberg and Westra want to encourage all students of the University of Indianapolis to attend

concerts in the Ruth Lilly Performance Hall, to broaden their knowledge of music and enhance their abilities to listen to music pegged as ‘boring’ with open minds and ears.

“We all get trapped in our own little sphere, and in this building, we are all guilty of it, too,” Westra said. “The complexity and the depth of some of this music, allows students to think of this music as poetry, or something that can enrich their lives, allowing them to think at a different level from day to day. It’s a ‘stop and smell the flowers’ kind of thing, especially when we are all losing our minds at this time of the year.”

Fields added one more reason for attending the performances in Ruth Lilly Performance Hall.

“When you come to these performances, you get to culture yourself,” he said.

“You know, everyday you listen to music on your iPhone or the radio, but here you get to see the fruits of a performer’s labor that is put into this [the performance].The countless hours spent in a practice room looking at their music is shown on their face and projects into the audience. When the audience gets to see that, that’s when the audiences finally gets to appreciate how much work is put into it.”

Fourth year studio art and pre-art therapy major Margaret Augustin won Best in Ceramics for her piece Between the Pages while freshman pre-art therapy major Samantha Froh won Best in Drawing for “Self-Portrait.” Senior medical illustration major Elizabeth Wells also won Best in Painting for “Self Portrait” and an honorable mention for her sculpture Thinking About Flying.

Sophomore studio art major Cody Coovert won Best in Digital Media for The Fullness of Empty, while freshman art therapy and studio photography major Kyle Agnew won Best in Digital Photography for “Lucid.”

Freshman studio art major Lauren Raker won Best in Mixed Media for “Purple Clouds,” and senior visual communication design major Kristel Miller won Best in Visual Communication Design for her piece “Halcyon.” Best in Sculpture was awarded to senior pre-art therapy and studio art major Kylie Little for her Dwelling Series.

According to Viewegh, juror Valerie Wilson decided to give the payment she would have received for serving as juror to a student for a special award. That award, called the Valerie Wilson Special Juror Award, was given to junior visual communication design major Megan McLeish for her project “The Locals’ Latest.” McLeish also received an honorable mention for her website “Cat Blog.”

Honorable Mentions also were awarded to junior visual communication design major Victoria Carter for “Picking Petals” and to senior literary studies major Angela Oaks for “Landscape Study.”

Gallery Coordinator Mark Ruschman said that “Pulse” is a celebration

on campus and a great way to honor the department. He also said that it is a wonderful phenomenon to see the students’ artwork evolve.

“I think for some of the students that are now going into their junior and senior year, you’ve had the chance to see their work mature,” Ruschman said. “Some of them were recognized here tonight with awards. So I think it really speaks not only to the hard work the students have put in, but also speaks to the hard work that the instructors [have put in] and the commitment that they have to making sure their students grow.”

According to Scarano, “Pulse,” like each student exhibition, is an opportunity to see what the department as a whole has been working on.

“I never see the VCD [ Visual Communication Design] stuff ever,” she said. “And I’m always so impressed when I do [at the exhibition].”

Scarano also encourages students to go through the process of submitting to the exhibition because of how positive that can be.

“It’s really beneficial for us, because we are having the opportunity to be in an exhibition in a really nice gallery, and then we get the experience of submitting,” she said. “So students who do want to be a professional artist, they understand what it’s like to be rejected, and they learn that that’s okay, and it has no reflection on your talent…. It’s okay if you’re not chosen. You should always try, and submit, because even if you don’t win anything, having it up there for everyone to see is an incredible feeling.”

“Pulse: Annual UIndy Juried Student Exhibition” will be open until May 7.

playing various percussion instruments.

The piece also included faculty adjunct of music Tamara Thweatt playing the flute.

The fourth act of the night was a jazz performance, with a total of four different songs. “I Thought About You,” by Jimmy Van Heusen and Johnny Mercer was the first song of the act. “This Masquerade,”by Leon Russell was the second song. “Miss Otis Regrets”by Cole Porter, was the third song played by the ensemble, and the final song of the evening was “Gingerbread Boy,” by Jimmy Heath. Director of Jazz Studies Freddie Mendoza led three of the four songs during the jazz performance, playing the trombone.

“It [the ‘Season Finale’] is a pretty broad spectrum of music,” Mendoza said. “I would say that my favorite song [of the performance] is a tune I have played quite a bit throughout my career, which is ‘I Thought About You.’ It’s a jazz standard, but it has sort of a challenging chord progression, and it’s a lot of fun to improvise over.”

Junior piano performance major Jim Loughery was the only current UIndy student to play all night. UIndy alumnus Nick Tucker played bass during all four songs of the jazz performance.

Owner of Owl Music Group record company, and community member Kenny Phelps played drums alongside the rest of the band. Professor of Music and Director of Vocal Studies Kathleen Hacker sang during the band’s performance of “Miss Otis Regrets.”

Sophomore jazz studies major Sidney Carpenter-Wilson attended the “Season Finale” performance and enjoyed the variety of genres.

“It was all great stuff.They always pack the ‘Season Finale’ with a lot of great performances,” Carpenter-Wilson said.

“I was watching Dennis McCafferty a lot. He is a great cellist, and I knew that going into it [the concert]. I was also watching Mark Ortwein. He has played with the jazz band a few times as well.

And of course, I was especially watching the jazz performances.”

The annual Jazz Week will start with a performance by the UIndy Jazz Combo on Monday, April 11 at 7:30 p.m.

Faculty Artist Concert Series concludes season A conclusion to this semester’s Faculty Artist Concert Series was held in Ruth Lilly Performance Hall on April 4.

The concert, titled “Season Finale,” featured several music faculty members from the University of Indianapolis along with UIndy alumni and outside community members.“Season Finale”was broken into four separate performances, with different performers and even different genres.

The first act of the night was a classical performance of “Trio in C Major, K. 548,” by Mozart. This included the first “Allegro,” the “Andante cantabile” and then the second “Allegro”which combined lasted around 25 minutes.

Professor of Music and Director for Artistic Initiatives Richard Ratliff played the piano during the Mozart performance. The Director of String Ensembles and Assistant Professor of Music Austin Hartman performed as the violinist for the piece. Applied Cello Professor and Chamber Ensemble Coach and Associate Adjunct Faculty of Music Dennis McCafferty played cello alongside Hartman and Ratliff.

The second act of the night was another classical performance, “Three Pieces for Flute, Clarinet and Bassoon,” by Walter Piston. The piece included an “Allegro scherzando,” “Lento” and “Allegro.”

Faculty Adjuct Anne Reynolds played flute for Piston’s piece. Cathryn Gross, a member of the Indianapolis Symphonic Orchestra, played the clarinet for the piece. Mark Ortwein, another member of the Indianapolis Symphonic Orchestra played bassoon alongside Gross and Reynolds.

The night’s third act was a duo contemporary classical performance of the “First Concerto for Flute and Percussion,”

by Lou Harrison.The piece included three parts, “Earnest, fresh and fastish,” “Slow and poignant” and “Strong, swinging and fastish.”

Harrison’s piece included Faculty Adjunct Professor of Music Jack Brennan

A GoFundMe page has raised more than $67,000. Donations can be made at the GoFundMe website. asking for updates on Jones’ condition.

“The team’s reaction is one of concern,” Bartolomeo said. “The guys are always asking me how he is doing. You don’t want to be a pest with his parents, but there is concern throughout the team, because it is one of our guys. They feel a connection there.They obviously want to see him pull out of this and move on.”

Bartolomeo said that there are several graduates who work in the Chicago area who have visited Jones and his parents and will send the coaches and players updates as well. Bartolomeo drove up to see Jones a week after the shooting and said he talks with Jones’ mother every night to see how they are doing.

As of The Reflector press time, a GoFundMe page entitled “Officer Tim Jones Fight” had raised more than $67,000 by approximately 1,200 different donors.

According to an April 7 Chicago Tribune article, a fundraiser at a Culver’s restaurant in Matteson, Ill., raised more than $5,000.

Wristbands and T-shirts, branded with the words “TimStrong”also are being sold.

Bartolomeo said this shows that there is a large amount of support across the country not only for Jones, but for law enforcement in general.

“I think it speaks highly of what most people think about police officers, that’s first and foremost—not only Tim Jones, but how the whole nation respects the officers and what they are put through.

There is a lot of nationwide support from that standpoint,” Bartolomeo said. “It’s very much appreciated by his parents.”

Bartolomeo said the coaching staff has discussed various ways to help Jones and his family, but their biggest priority is just to be there for the Jones family and each other.

“The biggest thing is just to keep asking for thoughts and prayers. As a team, we prayed together. We don’t force anyone to do that, but we do it together,” Bartolomeo said. “One of the coachs’ wives made us blue ribbons, and we’ve got ‘Tim Strong’ going on. I encourage the team [members] to go on the GoFundMe page, if they can.”

Fogle said that he would like others to keep Jones in their thoughts as well.

“He is a great guy and leader. I just want everyone to keep praying for him and his family. It is definitely rough to see a great guy like him be in this situation,” Fogle said.

As songs such as “Light My Fire” by The Doors played in the background, University of Indianapolis students explored the history and events of the 1960s in a sea of tie-dye and camouflage. “Trippin’ Through the 60s” was an event held on March 30 to inform UIndy students about the historical and cultural significance of the 60s in America.The event was a project in the Introduction to Experience Design course taught by Director of Experience Design Samantha Meigs.

“They [the students] first had to select a theme [for the event]. Then they came up with some interactive activities.They were all working very collaboratively. And then [they did] lots of research,” Meigs said.

“We actually had students talk to relatives who had lived through this period. They [the students] have watched movies and have tried to kind of immerse themselves in the 60s, so they can then bring that to life for somebody else.”

Meigs’ students found the 60s to be a very important time in American history.

“It [the 1960s] was a real interest to the students,” Meigs said. “It is the 50 year anniversary of the Vietnam War, from ’66 through ’73, so they [the students] thought it was important to look at how that era shaped our world, because we are still reaping the effect of the 60s. It’s also just a cool way to get people interested in history, because there is a lot of pop culture involved.”

The event included many different stations and tables with activities or facts about the 60s. UIndy Hall A included a Vietnam boot camp training activity: Students had to do a ladder walk while carrying a 30-pound backpack, ladder drills, sit-ups and push-ups and target practice with Nerf guns. One of the stations was an LSD simulator, where students could stare at a screen for approximately 60 seconds, and the images displayed on the screen would cause distortion in their vision for several seconds. There also was a table that had various foods that were popular in the 60s, including Swedish Fish, potato chips and Starbursts.

In UIndy Hall B, there was a karaoke stations where students could pick an array of songs from the 60s to sing. One table had a 60s trivia game for students to test their knowledge of historical and cultural events that happened during the decade.

Junior political science major Tanner Steele had brought his personal guitar and amplifier to play various 60s songs, including Jimi Hendrix’s rendition of the National Anthem, played at Woodstock in 1969.

There was a station that had protest signs from both the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War protests. Students could walk around holding the signs and chanting as if they were protestors. A timeline of historical events of the 60s hung on one of the walls, and a projector played videos of famous concerts during the 60s.

UIndy Hall C included a station where students could make bracelets and pick out headbands to wear. There was a green screen in front of which students could take photos, and they could pick out different props that suggested 60s culture along with a camouflaged, tie-dyed or moon-themed background. A student from Ivy Tech Indianapolis, Maggie Westrich, also had a face-painting station, where students could

get different designs hand-painted onto their faces. There was also a projector playing famous movies from the 60s, including “To Kill A Mockingbird.”

During the whole event a variety of music from the 60s played in the background as students went from station to station. Junior marketing major Whitney Whitehouse worked at the craft stations and found that the students who attended seemed to be enjoying themselves.

“My favorite part [of the event] is the music,” Whitehouse said. “For the bad weather the amount of people that came was a good turnout, and everyone I talked to had a smile on their face.”

Junior criminal justice major Taylor Kellam enjoyed her time at the “Trippin’ Through the 60s” event, having taken Introduction to Experience Design the previous semester.

“I liked watching all the people karaoke. I didn’t do it, but I love karaoke in general, so it was fun,” Keelam said.

“I took this class last semester, and it is completely different than the event we did. So it was just cool to see that they pulled something together like that.”

University of Indianapolis Assistant Professor of Political Science Laura Albright spoke about “Women in Politics” on March 30.The lecture focused on women in politics, specifically gubernatorial women.

“I’m really excited to share this because it’s very near and dear to my heart,”Albright said. “Obviously, I’m a woman, and I study political science, and I’m interested in the gender gap.”

Albright explained how large the gender gap is in politics. She said that 51 percent of the population are women, but only 19 percent of Congress, 22 percent of state legislatures and 12 percent of governorships are held by women. Albright said that the highest percentage of women was on the school board, with 40 percent of the members being women. She also said that women were not in politics until the early 1900s.

“For a long time, people thought women couldn’t be involved in politics,” Albright said, “and that it was only a man’s game, because women were too pure and honest and truthful.”

There have been 39 female governors in U.S. history, according to Albright. Currently there are six. Albright said that the first female governor, Nellie Taylor Ross, was elected in 1924 in Wyoming, after her husband left office.Two weeks later, Miriam “Ma” Ferguson was elected governor of Texas. Albright said that during their time in office, they had many accomplishments.

“During her [Ferguson’s] time in office she issued over 4,000 pardons for people who had essentially been wronged by the state of Texas,” Albright said.

Albright then talked about Lurleen Burns Wallace who was elected governor of Alabama in 1967. Albright said Wallace took over for her husband, George Wallace, when he could not hold consecutive terms in office as governor.

Albright said that to have a better chance of becoming president, the ideal government positions to hold are governor and senator. She said that George Wallace

would not have wanted to be a senator, because he liked having the most power, and he would be only one of 100 in the senate. Albright said that because he could not run for governor, but still wanted to have power and recognition, he had his wife run.

Albright showed some of Lurleen Wallace’s campaign advertisements, in which she was featured next to her husband and called Mrs. George C. Wallace.

Albright also said her campaign revolved around the fact that Lurleen’s becoming governor would help George become president. George was a big supporter of segregation, and Lurleen passed many bills that set back integration during her time in office.

Albright said Lurleen got a lot support from women and battled a lot of sexism from the media. She said the media focused on her running for her husband and often asked about what she was wearing or about her children.

Albright discussed the six female governors currently in offices around the United States. She also talked about the five women in the executive branch in Indiana as of January 2016. Yet there are no women currently running for governor, nor has Indiana had a female governor. Albright said she would like to see more women in politics but also would just like to see more diversity in general.

Sophomore history education major Mary Anne Schneider has had Albright as a professor and said she wanted to take Albright’s Women in Politics course.

Schneider said she enjoyed the lecture.

“It was great,” Schneider said. “I didn’t know much about the history of the governors and what states they came from. It was like a mini course.”

After the lecture, Albright encouraged students to attend a “Know Your Candidates” event, in which a panel of professors, including herself, will be discussing the presidential candidates and other candidates running for positions in Indiana. The event will be in the Schwitzer Student Center in UIndy Hall B on April 13 at 7 p.m.

Sea levels could be on the rise

By William Yardley LOS ANGELES TIMES

WORLD

After Panama Papers protests, Iceland prime minister resigns WASHINGTON—The first political casualty of the offshore investments scandal known as the Panama Papers occurred Tuesday, April 5: The beleaguered prime minister of Iceland stepped aside, perhaps temporarily. Prime Minister Sigmundur David Gunnlaugsson said he was stepping aside following the largest anti-government protests in modern times in Iceland, a sign of the public anger over his family’s offshore holdings.

European critics worry about Trump’s candidacy, what will happen to the U.S.

13 scientists said there was a 17 percent chance that sea levels would rise by 6.6 feet, a figure in line with the study.

Why has it been so hard to predict sea level change?

Predicting changes involves measuring and modeling several different factors that then have to be blended together, Horton said. Those elements include an increase in volume from expansion caused by warming water, the melting of glaciers in places such as Alaska and the melting of ice sheets in places such as Greenland and Antarctica. Measuring sea changes from the first two, he said, is much easier than measuring what the vast ice sheets are doing.

What has helped improve our understanding of how ice sheets melt?

Satellite technology and imagery has made it easier to understand what is happening above and below the West Antarctic ice sheet, Horton said.

“These ice sheets have this double whammy,” he said. “They’re heated at the surface from air temperature, and they’re

Wyoming officials look into law firm

By Kevin G. Hall MCCLATCHY WASHINGTON BUREAU

WASHINGTON (TNS)—The Wyoming arm of the law firm at the heart of the Panama Papers global scandal is under investigation by Wyoming state officials for failing to maintain required statutory information about companies registering there, Secretary of State Ed Murray said Wednesday, April 6.

Upon learning of the Panama Papers, a massive leak of secret offshore company data reported on by McClatchy and more than 100 other media partners around the globe, Wyoming initiated an audit of 24 companies registered in the state by the law firm Mossack Fonseca and its partners, he said.

“The audit concluded around noon on Monday, April 4, and determined that M.F. Corporate Services Wyoming LLC failed to maintain the required statutory information for performing the duties of a registered agent under Wyoming law,” Murray said in a statement.

The state followed immediately with administrative action, demanding that required information be provided.

“Subsequently, M.F. Corporate Services did provide the information,” the secretary of state’s office said, adding that Murray also briefed law enforcement that day. “This investigation of this matter is ongoing.”

As McClatchy reported Tuesday, April 5, in a lengthy story set in Wyoming, the Cowboy State has roughly one registered company per every 4.5 residents. In response to criticism in 2006, the state began requiring that registered agents who incorporate companies keep contact information for companies. Several agents with whom McClatchy spoke said it is not their job to know who the true owners of

companies are.

The report also showed that Russian and Brazilian middlemen were using the state, and Nevada, to create companies that had no U.S. business, and in the case of Brazil were tied to a political scandal that threatens to topple the government.

The Panama Papers have already caused the Icelandic prime minister to step aside.

McClatchy’s investigation, part of the international yearlong analysis into 11.5 million leaked files from the Panamanian law firm of Mossack Fonseca & Co., took place under the umbrella of the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.

Wyoming offers the same secrecy for true owners of incorporated companies, whether they are U.S. citizens or foreigners, as offshore fiscal havens like the British Virgin Islands or the Cayman Islands.

Wyoming requires only that a live contact for a company is provided in case of the kind of audit the state conducted Monday, April 4. Murray insisted that the state will not change its laws.

“I oppose a one-size-fits-all federal law mandating the dissolving of privacy protections,” he said, adding that he would consider more measures to combat fraud.

“We are not naive as to the importance of the release of these ‘Panama Papers,’ but we will not compromise the privacy of our customers.”

heated at the base from ocean temperatures. They retreat, and then they become unstable, and they retreat even further.

They have all these feedback mechanisms that keep on making the situation worse.”

The process involves what is known as cliff collapse.

“Ponds of meltwater that form on the ice surface often drain through cracks,” the article said. “This can set off a chain reaction that breaks up ice shelves and causes newly exposed ice cliffs to collapse under their own weight.”

How much water do the ice sheets hold?

Horton said that the Greenland ice sheet contains enough ice to raise sea levels 6 meters, or more than 20 feet, if they completely melted. Antarctica holds much more ice, enough to raise seas 65 meters, or more than 200 feet. But this extreme scenario could happen only over thousands of years.

What can be done?

Even as the study released this week predicted potential catastrophe, it also

emphasized that the West Antarctic ice sheet probably would cause little change in sea level if temperature increases can be held under 2 degrees Celsius. That is a central goal of the climate agreement reached in Paris in December, though it is far from clear that countries will achieve it.

The obvious solution, Horton said, is to move quickly away from burning fossil fuels that contribute to climate change and rapidly expand solar, wind and other renewable forms of energy.

“We have a choice right now,” he said.

“If we strongly mitigate against greenhouse gases, we can keep the sea level rise to a manageable level. These papers are not all doom and gloom. They are providing a warning, and we as a scientific community are trying to stress the urgency on climate change. This is a dire warning, a dire prediction, but we can do something about it.” (c)2016 Los Angeles Times. Visit the Los Angeles Times at www.latimes. com. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

(TNS)—The predictions only get worse.

In 2007, a United Nations panel of scientists studying the rise of sea level related to climate change predicted that, if nothing was done to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, seas could rise by about 2 feet by 2100. By 2013, the panel had increased its forecast to more than 3 feet, which would put major cities at risk of flooding and storm surge.

Yet all along, the panel emphasized what it did not know. It expressed particular uncertainty about what could happen to the ice sheet in Antarctica. To help fill in the gaps, it invited outside scientists to contribute their own research.

Now the outside research is bearing fruit—and the news is not good.

A new study published in the journal Nature painted perhaps the most ominous picture yet. It showed that, by the end of this century, sea levels could rise 6 feet or more—again, if nothing is done to reduce emissions—potentially inundating many coastal areas, submerging nations and remaking maps of the world.

The study focused on one of the most elusive aspects of sea-level science: What will happen to the West Antarctic ice sheet?

Scientists have long believed the ice sheet would melt from climate change and contribute to higher sea levels. But they believed that the melting, and rising sea levels it would cause, could occur over many hundreds or even thousands of years.

The new study, by Robert DeConto, a geoscientist at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and David Pollard, a geoscientist at Pennsylvania State University, based its finding on models it developed from studying ancient sea level and temperature changes. The scientists found that drastic sea level rise could happen within a lifetime.

As alarming as the study may have seemed to the public and to policymakers, Benjamin Horton, a coastal geologist at Rutgers University in New Jersey who studies sea level, said it did not surprise many people in his field.

In 2013, Horton led a survey of almost 100 sea level scientists that concluded that seas could rise almost 4 feet by 2100— higher than the United Nations panel’s worst scenario. But within that group,
