Sanders wins UIndy straw poll

By Robbie Hadley & Reid Lorey BUSINESS MANAGER & STAFF WRITER In a straw poll conducted by The Reflector, Vermont Senator and Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders (D) was the most popular candidate, with 33.3 percent of the overall student vote, more than the next two most-popular candidates combined.

In second place was New York businessman Donald Trump (R) with an even 15 percent and third was Florida neurosurgeon Ben Carson (R) with 12.6 percent of the vote. Despite Sanders’ large victory, Republican candidates still received 56.1 percent of the overall vote to the Democratic candidates’ 43.9 percent. Second place for the Democratic nomination was former U.S. Secretary of State and Senator from New York Hillary Clinton with 8.5 percent of the vote. Politically, there were nearly twice as many students who identified as Republican, 42.7 percent, as identified as Democratic, 24 percent, with another 22 percent identifying as Independent.

In the poll, students were asked to pick their preference for political candidate from either the Democratic or Republican Party as will be done in the upcoming Indiana primary in May. They also were

asked to provide their year, major, political party and intention to vote. Nearly 250 students provided countable results for the poll.

Assistant Professor of History and Political Science Laura Albright was surprised by the number of outlier candidates who gained votes.

“I think there are some interesting results,” Albright said. “Some of the smaller candidates that you wouldn’t think would have that kind of pull got votes. One for Kasich [ John Kasich, R-Ohio], five for O’Malley [Martin O’Malley, D-Md.], maybe even four for

Huckabee [Mike Huckabee, R-Ark.]. The fact that people found those candidates to be the most intriguing speaks to the ideological spread of the candidates who are available this season. Trump being a high [vote]-getter, [is] not surprising. Sanders, absolutely not surprising. We see Sanders really pulling for the 18-22 demographic, and that is really clear here.”

Sanders has had considerable support from the college-age demographic throughout his campaign. In a Feb. 2 report by “The Atlantic,” he defeated Hillary Clinton, with 84 percent of the vote among people under 30 at exit polling conducted

UIndy tuition increases

By Kylee Crane EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

University of Indianapolis students will see a 3.9 percent increase in tuition for the 2016-2017 academic year, but they also will see that money invested back into their collegiate careers.

A campus-wide email sent on Feb. 5 included a letter from President Robert Manuel announcing that the full-time tuition rate would increase from $25,910 to $26,920. In addition, the standard residence room rate will increase from $4,740 to $4,928, and the 14 meal plan will increase from $4,594 to $4,720.

Summer session tuition will remain the same at $295 per credit hour.

According to Manuel, the decision to keep the summer rate constant was an easy one, because the university would like to see more students enroll in the summer program to advance toward their

Professor shares her experience through words, images, sounds “It’s been kind of an incredible life so far. And I have heard one of my daughters say, ‘If it was over tomorrow, it has been a good ride,’” said Professor of Physical Therapy Julie Gahimer during her Sharing My Story speech on Jan. 25. Gahimer was asked by Office Manager of Ecumenical and Interfaith Programs Cindy Sturgeon to speak to guests as part of the Sharing My Story series.

Scholarships and financial aid help students avoid debt The University of Indianapolis offers scholarships and financial aid to help students pay for college, as well as provide resources to find outside scholarships. According to Associate Vice President for Financial Aid Linda Handy, all together students at UIndy receive $99 million in financial aid, including grants, loans and scholarships.

Not Indicated 11.0%

four-year degree.

The academic year tuition increase is the result of the increased costs of mandatory operating expenses.

“Very little operating expenses are covered by endowment,” Manuel said.

“Things like heating and air conditioning, improved security in buildings—like cameras and keys—and healthcare and insurance for faculty and staff are some of our necessities. And those things never get cheaper.”

Most of the increases in operating expenses come from the salaries of the faculty and staff. Executive Vice President for Campus Affairs and Enrollment Services Mark Weigand said that the university works hard to find a way to please the majority.

“We currently hold a student-faculty ratio of 11:1, which is something we are very proud of,” he said. “In order to keep that, we have to be able to increase salaries to keep faculty. We are conscious of

the students and wanting them to achieve, but we also have to compete for faculty, so it is a balancing act.”

Even with all the necessary expenses, Manuel said that the university strives to be a “good steward” and prioritizes the students. Forty cents of every dollar goes back to the students through scholarships and academic services.

According to Manuel, students will be able to see how the money is going back to the students when they receive their financial aid information in the coming months.

“We are, and want to be, mindful of the students’ indebtness to the university, but also [want to] provide them with all the resources we can,” Manuel said. “I think we have found a good mix of that.”

As mentioned in the campus-wide email, students are strongly urged to file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid by March 10. Students can find links to applications at uindy.edu/financial-aid.

at the Iowa caucuses. He also pulled 58 percent of the 30-44 year old demographic in the same poll. Sophomore political science major Jason Marshall, who was a Sanders supporter in the poll, explained why he thought Sanders has such a large appeal with younger voters.

“The young people don’t have faith in the system anymore,” Marshall said.

“I think that is why Bernie Sanders is so appealing to the younger people. I think we are going to see a lot more young voters coming out, which is going to heavily influence it [the Indiana presidential primary].”

According to the straw poll, the young voter turnout would be much higher than the usual percentage. The Indiana Secretary of State’s statistics for 2008, the last year with primaries for both political parties, showed a 40 percent voter turnout statewide with all possible voters. Marion County was even lower at 37 percent.

Young voters’ turnout is typically much lower than that. In The Reflector’s straw poll, 48 percent of students indicated that they would vote, and only 15 percent said that they would not. Albright said she was still disappointed with these voter turnout numbers.

“The intention to vote kind of concerns me,” Albright said. “Roughly 48 percent said they would, although maybe people are still making up their minds and trying to look up the candidates.”

With the 2016 presidential election just starting primary voting, there is a long road ahead until the final nominees are determined. Marshall took a guess at who he believed the nominees would be.

“It is going to be real close between Bernie and Clinton,” he said. “I think Secretary Clinton might pull it out. I say it will be her and Marco Rubio [R-Fla.] in the general election.”

More detailed statistics on outlier candidates, votes by political party and intention to vote are available in the complete polling results at reflector.uindy.edu.

Faculty discuss MEGA Center, developments While MEGA Center concept embraced, Faculty Senate advise against elimination of two positions in International Division

By Mercadees Hempel & Mikayla Kleinpeter MANAGING EDITOR & STAFF WRITER With the University of Indianapolis becoming more diverse and with more students wanting to experience study abroad, Dean of College of the Arts and Sciences Jennifer Drake, Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Bill Dynes and several other leaders on campus will be working on a campus-wide concept designed to promote international relations and connections. It also will ensure that certain programs across campus will be able to coordinate their efforts in these areas. This concept has been named the Multicultural Engagement and Global Awareness (MEGA) Center.

Dynes said that last spring, an international and multicultural task force was put together to help meet the needs of students and the campus in terms of cultural diversity. The task force was divided into three subcommittees as well: programming, entrepreneurship and student experience. Dynes said the three committees did their own individual research and found that while different and exciting things were happening on campus, programs and diverse students

were not connecting and oftentimes did not know what was happening in other groups.

So, after further research, the idea of the MEGA Center was developed last fall.

Dynes said the MEGA Center is not going to be a physical space, but more of a concept promoted on campus to enhance global and international relations among students and tie together programs that are related to global and international relations. According to Drake and Dynes, the programs that will be included in the MEGA Center are International Division, Service Learning and Civic Engagement, Interdisciplinary Programs, Department of Global Languages and Cross Cultural Studies and Global Partnerships.

“It’s an opportunity to tie those areas together,” Dynes said, “so that we’re supporting one another, finding new kinds of resources, and hopefully, developing fresh new opportunities for our students, both our domestic students who want to do cool things and for our international students who come here and really want to be a part of our community.”

The MEGA Center also will help connect students and faculty interested in traveling abroad, global studies and subjects dealing with diversity. While the plans for the MEGA Center are still open-ended according to Dynes and Drake, there is confidence in the benefits the center will

bring to students in the long run. Director of the International Division Mimi Chase said she believes the MEGA Center will promote teamwork and create interesting things for the campus.

“I think it gives us an opportunity ... to pull people together who have been doing really good work in different areas,” she said. “But now, already, I’m seeing outcomes from it where we talk in different areas, and we each have a different perspective on how these things might be accomplished. And then it turns out that by working together, we’re going to be able to move more things forward, I think.”

Associate Professor of International Relations and Chair of the Department of History and Political Science Milind Thakar is one of many faculty members who support the idea of the MEGA Center. However, he and other faculty members, including Associate Professor of Sociology Jim Pennell, became concerned when they were told two positions in the International Division would be eliminated. Chase said the two positions that were going to be eliminated were the Study Abroad Advisor and International Student Advisor.

Faculty were concerned because of the work the International Division does.

Chase said that within the International Division, the Office of International Stu-

UIndy for Riley Dance Marathon

dents and Scholars’s work is immigration based. The International Student Advisor is in charge of monitoring the students for immigration purposes, that international students receive all of their immigration needs and benefits and help international students fill out all the necessary paperwork for Visas, health insurance and more. The office also works with visiting scholars and with hiring the faculty and staff at the university who are not U.S citizens or residents.

The second office within the International Division is the Office of Study Abroad. The office is in charge of making sure that destinations are safe, paperwork is completed and all parties are prepared for emergencies.The Study Abroad Advisor also helps students find programs that they would like to take part in at UIndy or helps them arrange to participate in a program through another college.

Chase said the positions are very specialized and when she learned that the positions were going to be eliminated, she worried about providing students with what they need.

“I would say that my greatest concern was to ensure that our students’ needs be met,” she said. “We have a lot of international students on our F1 Visa program, and we have the requirement to provide

Why we hate politicians

By Maddie Hays EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Politicians in America carry a stigma of being greedy liars who make empty promises. But why does this stigma exist?

Politicians have a history of making promises during their campaigns, such as reducing taxes, lowering education costs or providing more affordable healthcare.

While these promises sound great during the campaigns and influence many voters, politicians often fail to keep these promises for a number of reasons. The public then perceives politicians’ failure to fulfill their promises as manipulation and dishonesty, furthering the belief that politicians make these promises purely for the reason of receiving more voters.

Because being a politician can require years of experience, it is not uncommon for a politician to be older. This can create a generation gap, affecting young people’s interests in politics. Because of this separation between politician and citizen, distrust can develop.“Can my representative relate to my situation? Do they have my best interest in mind?” This distrust results in young Americans not participating in politics, not bothering to stay up-to-date on political events and developments or vote, because they struggle to find a politician that they can identify with. Because of this pattern of distrust among the future generations

of America, the stigma against politicians remains.

That being said, it is important to consider whether or not the politicians are in fact at fault, or rather if the system is to blame.

In 1787, the United States Constitution was signed. This document established a representative government in which the people could choose their leaders to represent them. The Constitution did not originally include separate political parties. According to “The Invention of the American Political Parties,” by Roy F. Nichols, it was decided in the 1790s that voter-based political parties were necessary in order to win the popular support. With the two-party system comes a balance of liberalism and conservatism. According to “Why Americans Hate Politics”

by E.J. Dionne, Jr., the failure of the concepts, liberalism and conservatism, create the majority of the problems in America’s political life. Dionne writes that, “liberalism and conservatism are framing political issues as a series of false choices.”

Over time, politicians seem to have become more concerned with aligning to their party rather than standing with their own beliefs or what their constituents want. It is often that a politician’s party might bully them into follow through with party the party line. In

Macklemost

The rapper’s new song focuses on race relations

By Kameron Casey PHOTO EDITOR At this point hundreds of articles have been written about Macklemore’s new song.

Although I saw a great deal of initial reactions from the likes of DeRay Mckesson and a few other social activists on Twitter, I have yet to hear anyone else around me talk about it. If you have not listened to it, stop now and do so. It is free to download and listen on iTunes and Spotify. The song is not the answer to all of the problems, or any problems in particular, in the Black Lives Matter Movement, but it opens up an uncomfortable conversation we as a country have been avoiding.

That was longwinded, I know, but there is a lot here. Not that anyone remembers, but in 2014 I wrote an article about the Mackleman’s hand in the whitewashing of hip-hop. Whether he was aware of his actions and impact or not, he created a rift. The white friendly facade suburban moms wanted on hip-hop against the dark skin, gold teeth and chains that were and still are the actual face of the culture. Either through recent revelation or initial knowledge, Macklemore is well aware of his affect.

Self-awareness is how we got here: “White Privilege II.” The song is a social and collaborative effort between Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, along with a slew of musicians and activists invested in the efforts of racial equality.

I do not think the Mackleman is a bad guy, and I always have given him a chance.

The song sounded great in theory, but if it had come across as insincere as “Same Love,” I was ready to jump ship for good.

But the song was far from a backhanded attempt to regain buzz.

Macklemore has been seen on the streets chanting and marching alongside activists in times of civil unrest. The first verse touches on that experience and the uncomfortableness of thrusting himself into that environment, surrounded largely by people who have grown up struggling with these issues. That is a real fear that people on the outside looking in have. How do you help

and join the fight when you do not fully understand what they are fighting for?

The issue is exclamated more so for the Mackleman, as he is reaping the benefits of inherently black culture.

The song suggests he is breaking.

There is a short segment of people saying to him, “You always react. Just let it go, man. White racist. It’s the Grammy’s!”

He goes on to show that he knows his effect and his position.

He knows that he has seemingly stolen the proverbial chalice and has drunken a juice that was never his to begin with.

This is where you see his internal conflict.

He does care and he wants to help and use his voice, but he was not using it effectively before. When he said he thought he was gay in the third grade, it held no clout.

It was just something to say to try and connect with the movement and it made things inside and outside of the songs feel less sincere.

Earlier in the article I touched on Mackleman’s self-awareness, or lack thereof earlier in his career. My entire 2014 article talks about the issue, and how he is seemingly unaware of the power of his voice. It comes full circle in the third verse of the song when a mother approaches him and expresses her, and many other white American mothers, fathers and influencers, respect for him for not rapping about “...all the guns and the drugs, the bitches and the hoes and the gangs and the thugs.”

His verse ends with him saying, simply, “Huh?” He knows and has always known what hip-hop is, what it was born from and what it has evolved into.

It is a complex landscape that gives a voice and opportunity to many who would fall by the wayside and no one, not myself, nor self-entitled white mom’s are entitled to tell anyone which music holds value.

You want rappers to stop talking about the “trap?” Eliminate the systems that have ensnared these communities and stop turning your cheek.

“He does care and he wants to help and use his voice, but he was not using it effectively before.”

this case, the politician almost becomes the party’s puppet, meaning that the party makes the decisions and uses the politician to be the face of these decisions.

This often happens because politicians are rarely self-funded and rely on their party to fund at least part of their campaign.

Because the politician is “the face” of its party’s decisions, he is who often receives the negative press, creating the stigma that many Americans grow up with.

How do we fight this stigma? We must become educated. As citizens, it is our responsibility to be educated with what decisions political figures are making and how it will affect our lives. It is important for us to look into a politician with as little prejudice as possible.

Look into what issues the politician covers, where he or she came from, how much experience he or she has, how he or she plans on reaching his or her goals, and what his or her relationship is with congress.

Learn about politics and different politicians; do not get information from just one news source, but from several.

Figure out your own biases, and then get news from sources you might not agree with so you can balance out your ideas.

If we want to change the way politics and political figures are seen, we have to take the first step in realizing that this does affect us and so we must play a part in the politics.

A millennial’s roadmap to success

By Melvin Mendez EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

When older generations talk about millennials, they seem to say that we are lazy, self-centered, dependent on our phones and will not amount to anything. To get past those stereotypes, we all have to show them that we can amount to be a successful generation.

According to millenialmarketing.com, we make up about 25 percent of the U.S. population and it is up to us to improve this country.

To be able to succeed there are many things that we need to do and also change. One of the main things that we need to do is to pay attention to what is going on around us and be attentive to the news.

One of the best ways to put yourself out there is by being able to know what is going on in the world. It is important to become and stay educated. Traveling is another good way of being able to gain knowledge.

Again from millenialmarketing.com, about 79 percent of millennials want to visit all 50 states and around 75 percent want to travel abroad. Being an active reader is a way to be informed about

many events or people.

When it comes to having success in education, millennials are already on their way as a group. As of now, millennials are on track to become one of the most well-educated generations. One of the main reasons is that we have the highest percentage of people attending college at around 61 percent, according to whitehouse.gov.

Many people struggle to choose a major because they focus on how much their future job would pay, and not if they actually like what they are studying.

Associate Professor of Finance and Director of External Relations for the School of Business Matt Will says that students should be mindful of studying things that can land them a job after graduation.

“It doesn’t matter what you study it’s important that students try to take their skill or major and find where it fits in the economy,” he said. “Don’t learn your skill in a vacuum.”

Another thing that is needed is not to be afraid of risk taking. When an opportunity is available, don’t be afraid of taking risks. You won’t be able to accomplish much if you back away from opportunities that you are offered.

“The most valuable and important

people are innovators who are people that are willing to take a risk to create something that society will use,” Will said. “If you have a passion for something try to turn it into a business.”

There are many sources that are able to help you with starting your own business one of which is the Secretary of State’s website. There you can find links for people that are starting new businesses.

When it comes to financial planning, one thing you should always remember is not to be afraid to ask for help. According to Will, trying to manage your wealth on your own, without having any skills in finance or business, will more than likely cause errors. Asking for help is the hardest step and will also help prevent mistakes when it comes to your wealth.

“It doesn’t matter where you go in life as long you’re able to manage your budget and able to find someone to help you manage your savings and don’t be afraid to go out there and entrepreneur as long as you manage your money,” he said.

Being able to beat the lazy millennial stereotype is not hard as long as you are willing to be able to put in the work needed to change lazy into successful.

The evolution of UIndy’s history

Since the university’s founding in 1902, UIndy works to create an identity through the decades

By Jessica Hoover NEWS EDITOR University Archivist and Associate Librarian Christine Guyonneau began working at the University of Indianapolis in 1987, where she continues to work to this day. She said that the school has changed quite a bit since then, but even more so in the time since it was founded on Oct. 6, 1902.

The University of Indianapolis, or Indiana Central University as it was known back then, started out as a simple idea from the Church of the United Brethren in Christ to fulfill the need for a college that would follow its own religion and beliefs, according to Guyonneau. A developer and landowner said that he would give the land and a building for the university if the church conferences helped him sell 446 lots.

Guyonneau said the offer was accepted, and Indiana Central was given lot #447, which consisted of eight acres of land estimated at $15,000 and a building estimated at $40,000. Fifteen thousand dollars is equal to around $416,000 today, and $40,000 is equal to about $1.1 million today.

The first building was called the Administration Building and is still standing today, Guyonneau said, but is now known as Good Hall.This building held classrooms, offices, a library and a chapel that could hold up to 800 people. According to Guyonneau, it was mandatory for students to attend chapel every day then.

“The first president, J.T. Roberts, lived with his wife and children in the [Administration] Building because that was the only building available,” Guyonneau said. “The wife was cooking for the whole faculty and students.”

The university began enrolling students in 1905, and students paid an enrollment fee of $3, equal to $83 today. Guyonneau said that tuition per semester for full term was $12, equal to $333. Winter term also was $12. Spring term was $10, equal to

The Administration Building was the first building on UIndy’s campus. Now known as Good Hall, the building is still fully functionable today. $278, and summer term was $6, equal to $167. She said all necessary expenses for the school year ranged from $125 to $175, about $3,472 to $4,861 today.

The first graduation ceremony took place in 1908, and there were only two graduates, Guyonneau said, one of which was named I.J. Good. After Good became the third president of the university in 1915, the Administration Building was renamed Good Hall in his honor.

The university’s first international student, David Manly, arrived in 1919 and was brought here by a graduate of Indiana Central University.

“Ernest Emery and his wife graduated in 1915, and a month later, they went as missionaries to Sierra Leone,” Guyonneau said.“While they were there, he [Emery] met a young man who was a teacher and was eager to advance.… He found some sponsors here, on campus, and he [Manly] was the first international student.”

In 1921, the first dorm, Dailey Hall, was built where the alumni house is now located. In that same year, Guyonneau said, there was a temporary gymnasium where the university’s sports teams

practiced. The gymnasium was used from 1921 to 1959, when it was replaced with Nicoson Hall.

During the 1940s, the university set rules about how students should behave that probably seem a little strange now, Guyonneau said. For example, females were only allowed to go with males in automobiles when they had permission from the dormitory matron or dean of women, and the use of profanity could result in disciplinary action. Students could not smoke either inside or outside buildings, and gambling and alcohol were prohibited. Guyonneau said that there was even a rule saying, “Wise girls avoid all extremes in both dress and makeup.”

The president at the time, Lynd Esch, had found out that some young women had worn shorts on campus during the summer, which was deemed inappropriate.

The university continued to develop through the years, according to Guyonneau, with some highlights. The Campus Apartments, which were recently demolished this past summer, were built in 1952. The first co-ed dorm was built in 1969, with males on one side and females on the other. And in 1972, the first two

male nursing students were admitted to Indiana Central.

Starting in 1981, Professor of Psychology John McIlvried joined the faculty at Indiana Central. He worked full-time until 1985, when he left to work as the chief psychologist at Central State Hospital, but continued to work at the university as an adjunct professor. He returned to teaching full-time in 1993 and has been here since. McIlvried has worked at the university for a total of 35 years, counting the adjunct work.

He said that since 1981, he has seen some changes in the student body and found success in many of the programs the school offers.

“A higher percentage [of students] were in-state, local, commuter, first-generation, kinds of people,” McIlvried said.“And now, of course, we’ve got these programs that have drawn large numbers of international students, and we have a higher percentage of out-of-state students who are coming here. Some of our graduate programs have really taken off: PT [physical therapy], OT [occupational therapy], psychology….

Having doctoral programs in those areas has really broadened our draw.”

One of the major changes to the university was the name change from Indiana Central University to Indiana Central College then back to Indiana Central University. It was the changed to the University of Indianapolis in 1986, McIlvried said. It was given the nickname UIndy in 2006 for marketing purposes.

Since the 80s, UIndy has changed a great deal physically, he said, with the main difference being that there was once a parking lot where Smith Mall is today. It was changed in 1998 to make the university more aesthetically pleasing. Other physical changes included the addition of new dorms and expansions to buildings such as Esch Hall and the Schwitzer Student Center. More recent changes were the renovation of the library and the building of the Health Pavilion.

McIlvried also said that there have been great technological advances since he started working at UIndy.

“There weren’t any computers when I first started,” McIlvried said.“Everything had to be done [with] paper and pencil or in person. There wasn’t email or texting or any of these things.... We now have a lot of hybrid courses, where some is taught face-to-face and some [content] is online. We are getting more and more completely online courses.”

According to McIlvried, all of the changes made to UIndy since 1902 have helped shape the identity and image of the university.

“Change is never easy for people, whether it’s students or clients, if you’re seeing people in therapy,” McIlvried said.

“I think oftentimes change is important and good, but it’s not always good. I think the question becomes, a university or an organization has a sense of identity, just like you or I have a sense of who we are.

At a broader level, the university develops a sense of identity because of the faculty and the students. They have a sense of ‘This is what this place is like. This is who we are.’”

UIndy promotes service learning

By Josie Clark EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Service-learning is an objective-based type of volunteerism that allows students to earn credits at the University of Indianapolis. Through a variety of opportunities, students can go beyond volunteerism and connect what they learn at the university to what they learn through service, according to Marianna Foulkrod.

Foulkrod is the Director of the Center for Service Learning and Community Engagement and teaches service learning classes. This volunteerism is a community engagement opportunity and a commitment and emphasizes a reflection on the experience, Foulkrod said.

“Volunteerism is not about just giving your time, but what you are learning and how you develop yourself personally and professionally,” she said.

UIndy offers a community leadership and engagement minor for undergrads.

Some majors, such as occupational and physical therapy, require a civic engagement course, such as volunteering at the local YMCA. Foulkrod said business majors are involved with service learning projects all the time.There are multiple service learning opportunities through spring term courses, mainly the travel courses, and even some art courses. Students typically learn about service learning and potential opportunities that may interest them through their faculty or through the Center for Advising and Student Achievement. Graduate student Erin Gahimer assists Foulkrod with the CSLCE. “A lot of times students will just stop by [Esch 231, CSLCE]. So when they come in, I’ll usually ask what they’re interested in and think about our main agencies to find a good fit for them,” Gahimer said.

Gahimer said that learning in a servicelearning format allows students to see with their own eyes what they have learned in class. Instead of memorizing it and taking a test, they can start to put the pieces together on their own. Another difference between service learning and volunteerism is the amount of information the student acquires approaching their volunteer service. With some types of volunteerism, little information is necessary.

Through the CSLCE, students are matched with an agency that they have interest in. They are given all the informa-

tion they need before they serve, and the faculty give students these experiences, according to Foulkrod.

“Through service learning, you serve to learn and you learn to serve,” Foulkrod said. “A lot of people ask us if volunteerism is required for graduation, [but] then it wouldn’t be volunteering.”

UIndy’s motto is “Education for Service,” and volunteerism and servicelearning opportunities are available to the students. UIndy is one of only a handful of schools nationwide that has received the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching Community Engagement Classification in 2010, according to the CSLCE website. The university also was selected for the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll by the Corporation for National and Community Service the same year.

Students do not have to be enrolled in a service-learning course in order to volunteer or support a good cause. For example, sophomore psychology major Brittany Finigan never took a service -learning course and started the UIndy Food Recovery Network last year after she started thinking about where all the leftover food from the university goes.

“We started last March, and since then we have probably recovered around 800 pounds of food,” Finigan said. “But since we’re not a club on campus, it’s hard to get volunteers.”

Finigan said she appreciates all the help she can get and collects food every Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Schwitzer to package, weigh and record donations.

The recovered food is donated to one of four agencies on a weekly rotation.

These agencies are the Wheeler Mission Ministries, Salvation Army, Women and Children Shelter and Holy Family Shelter, according to Finigan.

Any student can enroll in a servicelearning course, talk to faculty or their advisor or simply stop by Esch 231 to talk about available opportunities. Finigan welcomes help on Tuesday nights as well as at 7 p.m. in the cafeteria.

Students who exceed any volunteerism required for their course, or those who volunteer when it is not specific to a course, can get those hours notated on their transcripts. Potential employers will be able to see student volunteer hours spent serving others.

UIndy Dance Marathon exceeds fundraising goal

By Chelsea Faulk & Maia Gibson EDITORIAL ASSISTANT & STAFF WRITER

The seventh annual University of Indianapolis Riley Dance Marathon took place on Saturday, Feb. 6, in the Ruth Lilly Fitness Center from 2-8 p.m. UIndy for Riley surpassed its goal of $20,000 and raised $21,121.17 in donations at the event this year.

Half of the money raised by UIndy goes to Riley’s Child Life Program. The program helps Riley patients understand what they are going through while being treated. The other half of the money goes towards Riley’s general benefit fund, a fund used to support whatever section of the hospital needs help.

The Olympic-themed event kicked off with an opening ceremony featuring the Riley kids running through a tunnel of UIndy students participating in the Dance Marathon. Each Riley kid had his or her own torch made out of construction paper, with the intention of lighting the main torch, just like in the real Olympics.

Students were split into four groups to rotate through various stations every 15

minutes. One group would learn part of the line dance, while others participated in activities such as human Hungry Hungry Hippos, a bounce house bungee cord race, a shake your booty change game and an Olympic podium photo booth.

Before participants went off into their groups, UIndy for Riley President Allie Bishop told the students to look around and notice that there were no chairs. Bishop said there would be no sitting.

“We are standing for those who can’t,” Bishop said.

Sophomore public health and promotion and pre-physical therapy major Megan Julian was one of around 100 students who participated in the Dance Marathon.

“I didn’t start going to dance marathons until college,” Julian said. “We didn’t have one at my high school, so this was a completely new experience that I had.”

Julian’s sister, who is a Riley kid, is one of her main motivators for participating in the Dance Marathon, Julian said.

“This is definitely one of my ways to show her how much I care. I know that we don’t always get along; we are sisters,” Julian said. “It does make a difference. Not just in her life, but in all of these Riley

kids’ lives.”

Junior earth space science major and UIndy for Riley marketing chair Carly Nicholson said she was a Riley kid herself.

“Riley will always be my home. I feel like everybody has a Riley story,” Nicholson said. “When you interact with Riley kids, and you see them having the time of their lives, it’s a feeling that you can’t get anywhere else.”

Julian got to experience this as well.

“I found a new best friend tonight, Lily.” Julian said. “She was very special, [and] it was a great experience chasing her around.”

At the end of the Dance Marathon, Bishop announced that UIndy for Riley would be changing its name to UIndy Dance Marathon. The purpose of the name change is to clarify what the organization does and to get more people involved.

Junior nursing major and UIndy for Riley fundraising chair Katherine Spencer agrees that more people should be involved.

“If you want to get involved, we are always looking for people to help,” Spencer said. “The more people we have to help, the bigger and better we can be.”

Men’s basketball wins on Senior Day, 87-86

By Laken Detweiler SPORTS EDITOR There are five games remaining on the University of Indianapolis men’s basketball schedule, four of them on the road. With two home wins over Truman State University on Saturday, Feb. 6, and Quincy University on Thursday, Feb. 4, the Greyhounds look to head into the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship with a few more wins in their pocket.

“On the road, our biggest thing is poise and patience,”said Head Men’s Basketball Coach Stan Gouard. “We have to make sure that we understand on the road how road wins can really impact us down the stretch. We are getting ready to go [on the road]. I think the Bellarmine [University] game [on Jan. 30] was a wake up call for us, and we just are going to [have to] start a new [winning] streak.”

UIndy fell to Bellarmine, 101-65, and then bounced back the following game against Quincy with a 98-66 win and also beat Truman State 87-86.

Prior to the Truman State tip off, UIndy honored its five seniors. Recognized was Jordan Loyd, Lucas Barker, Joe Retic, Tyler Rambo and Jamel Crocker.

Days before taking on the Bulldogs, Gouard said how senior night only means there’s a new season coming up.

“I have been really blessed to have these guys on my roster, and I am going to miss them very, very much,” Gouard said. “Hopefully there’s a lot of ball left to be played. So we are not going to look at senior night as a bittersweet goodbye, we are going to look at it as a new season [that is] coming up. It’s a great night, and we are going to enjoy it and I know that our guys are going to do a good job channeling their emotions for a good game [on] Saturday night.”

During Saturday’s one point game, Loyd had a game-high 26 points, while also earning 11 rebounds making it his third double-double of the season. The Greyhounds had eight different players put up points throughout the game.

The first half was all lead changes until a three-pointer from sophomore

guard Eric Davidson put the Hounds up 30-26. From there the lead would remain in UIndy’s hands, ending the first half up 48-40.

Despite the eight point lead at the half, the Hounds could not maintain it during the opening minutes of the second half, allowing for an 10-0 run from Truman State. UIndy managed an 11-0 run to put itself back in the game, but the score stayed tight until the final buzzer.

With 50 seconds remaining on the clock, the score was tied at 85-85. In the next 15 seconds, junior forward/center Ernest Maize fouled a Bulldogs player, which lead to one free throw made and one missed. The score stood at 86-85 Bulldogs with 35 seconds remaining, until Barker’s layup put the Hounds up by one with 11 seconds to go.

The Greyhound defense stood strong, and Retic grabbed the last rebound of the game after a missed layup from the Bulldogs. UIndy won 87-86 on Senior Day. “It is a little bittersweet [being a senior],” Barker said. “But we are just trying to get some wins and carry on this momentum for the rest of the year. We just have to take the mantra of ‘win or go home,’ so we can carry on for conference.”

Prior to Senior Day, the Greyhounds competed against Quincy University.

During the game, senior guard Jordan Loyd made the history books by scoring his 1,000th point, with three minutes remaining in the first half. He is the 39th person to join that club.

“It was pretty awesome [scoring my 1,000th point],” Loyd said. “I was kind of shocked that I had that many points here at UIndy, but it’s just a blessing. [I have a] great coaching staff, great teammates, and it makes it easier for me [to be successful].”

Loyd had a game-high 23 points in the 98-66 win over the Hawks, with freshman forward Jesse Kempson raking in 14 point for the Hounds as he went 3-for-3 from the arch. In the win, Barker earned his first double-double of the season, scoring 11 points to pair with 10 assists.

“It felt great [winning]. After last week, when we got our butts kicked [against Bellarmine], and [then] we came in and

Junior forward/center Ernest Maize had five points and three blocks in the Greyhounds win over the Truman State Bulldogs on Feb 6. UIndy won 87-86. responded tonight with a good win,” he said.

The game began with multiple lead changes and a tight score, but with eight minutes remaining in the first period, the Greyhounds made a dash for a large lead with a 24-5 run. The first half ended

47-29 in favor of the Hounds.

UIndy’s scoring rhythm carried over to the second half, as the Hounds not only held the Hawks to 37, but also scored 51 points. The 51 points from the Greyhounds came from nine different players.

“I feel great [getting that win],”

Gouard said. “This team [Quincy] coming in tonight was the leading scoring team in the league, and we held them to 63 points.”

The Greyhounds travel to Kansas City, Mo., on Feb. 11 to compete against Rockhurst University, with tipoff at 8:30 p.m.

Track & Field travels north for indoor meet UIndy’s sprinters travel to Hillsdale College, while the teams throwers made a shorter trip to Indiana Wesleyan University.

By Ashlea Alley ONLINE EDITOR The University of Indianapolis Track and Field team split this past weekend as the team’s sprinters traveled to Hillsdale College and the throwers made their way to Indiana Wesleyan University.

Both groups competed on Saturday, Feb. 6, and the sprinters also competed on Friday, Feb. 5.

At Hillsdale,freshman Sarrina McKinley earned second in the 400-meter dash with a time of 1:01.72. In the 60-meter dash for the men, junior Quinntyn Qualls took fifth in 7.04 seconds with senior Josh Bass right behind him with a time of 7.05 seconds. Bass also earned first in the long jump.

Freshmen Brian Sales and Allen Wright earned first and second, respectively, in the 400-meter dash. Senior Alex Cushman competed in the 3000-meter run and earned second with a time of 8:40.91. The Greyhounds 4x400 meter relay team earned second in 3:19.73.

The team was made up of junior Connor Stouder, Wright, Sales and Qualls.

At IWU, junior Shaquelle Lewis earned second in the men’s shot put, throwing 16.17 meters. For the women, sophomore Katie Monk threw 13.79 meters to earn first.

In the weight throw, junior Vincent Ziraldo took first with a distance of 16.75 meters. Monk also earned first in the weight throw.

The weekend prior, UIndy remained at home in the Athletic Recreation Center as they competed in their own UIndy Track and Field Challenge on Jan. 29-30.

“In high school, I really wanted the school record, [and] I barely missed that,” Wieland said. “So coming to college and finding out the school record, [I knew] that was my new goal. I’ve been working at that since freshman year. So I mean it was frustrating that it took three years to get that, but [it’s] also very exciting to finally get there. And now that I have it, I obviously don’t want to stop there.

I want to push it up higher and keep my name on the record board a little bit longer, because there are other talented

vaulters that could come up and get the record, too.”

The Greyhounds had two third-place finishes in the 60-meter dash from junior Melissa Rios and Qualls. Rios finished with a time of 7.97 seconds, and Qualls in 6.91 seconds. The two also were the best finishers for the Greyhounds in the 200-meter dash, with Qualls taking third in 22.39 seconds, and Rios finishing fourth in 26.83 seconds.

Sales finished in first place in the 600-meter run with a time of 1:21.95.

Another first placer was junior Majaica Brooks in the 60-meter hurdles. The women’s distance relay team of senior

Haley Havert, sophomore Briana Leonard, sophomore Michaela Harrison and freshman Hannah Batcherlor finished second with a time of 12:57.34. Bass and junior triple jumper Collin Craft each took first in their events. Junior Chelsea Yeadon grabbed second in long jump.

Head Track and Field Coach Scott Fangman acknowledges the goals the team has and how far they have come.

“Well we’d like to end the indoor with a conference championship and with All-Americans,” he said. “[Since the beginning of the season,] we have gotten faster, we are throwing further and we are jumping higher and further.

We are doing those things all very well.

[Our] maturity level is also increasing, [and] confidence is building.”

Cushman has the same mindset when it comes to the indoor championship.

“I think we should definitely be a contender for the conference title again [indoors],” Cushman said. “We [are] bring[ing] back a couple of good sprinters, and our sprint team has greatly improved since last year. Our distance team has remained strong as well. So we have a good shot at our younger guys getting even better in the conference meet, and hopefully by outdoor, we will definitely be fighting for that conference title. I feel like we can do the indoor, and I feel like it will be hard, but it [will] certainly [be] a challenge since our conference is as strong as it is.”

The Greyhounds have three indoor meets remaining before the GLVC Indoor Championship and before moving outdoors. Fangman said the transition from the indoor to the outdoor season is easier than one might imagine.

“We don’t have problems. We just go outside now. We do the same thing all over again,” Fangman said. “The implements that we change, we are good at.

That is the thing we like about outdoor, because a lot of the times we are better as an outdoor team than an indoor team only because the events change. We go from the weight to the hammer. We throw two long-distance throws, the distance and the javelin. We run a long distance hurtle race now [outdoors] 400-meters.

Those are all things that are truly in our wheelhouse.”

The Greyhounds will travel to Bloomington, Ind., to compete in the Indiana Hoosier Hills on Feb. 12.

SPRING PREVIEW

Baseball: “I don’t think it’s out of the question to actually shoot for the world series, or plan on winning the conference, or plan on winning the regional tournament. Like that’s actually in the cards.… Obviously, I think we have a lot of talent on the team, but I think what really stands out to me is just the relationship of the team. We pull out the best in each other, or at least they’ve pulled out the best in me.… I think the team’s really going to do something big this year. It’s just a feeling, something I can’t really put a finger on, but it’s going very well.” - Senior Alex Ritchie, catcher Women’s Golf: “We have so many good players that it is so competitive[this season]. Anyone can go out and shoot par any day, so it always keeps us together. We’re just a really close team, and just having the ability for us all to go low, I think, separates us [from other teams].”- Sophomore Annika Haynes

Men’s Lacrosse: “We’re expecting to do well, not anything crazy, but to be competitive. I think everyone is in with [men‘s lacrosse] Coach [Greg] Stocks’s vision … we’re all invested in his plan and his vision, so I think we’re on the right track.… [I’m looking forward to] the road trips and everything, and just being with the team, being with the boys. We had a little taste of that going down to Cleveland last semester for our fall ball stuff, so we’re really excited for all that, and to see how it all plays out [this season].”

- Freshman Matthew Johnson, attacker Softball: “[Our expectation for this year is] to win a National Championship.… I think that we’re very confident in our abilities. I don’t think we’re over-confident. I don’t think that we let any of the negative talk get to us, but we also don’t let the positive talk get to us a lot. We just focus on us, and we stay even keel.” - Senior Jenny Thompson, catcher

Men’s Golf: “Individually [I want to] make our team better [and] practice harder. As a team [our goal] is to win conference, do well in regionals and then get to Nationals again and try to contend to get in the medal match to play at Nationals.… We’re going to be really young, and we have all worked really hard.

We’re going to have two freshmen who are really good [and] really consistent. So I feel like that will be really nice going into the spring.” - Sophomore Graham McAree Women’s Lacrosse: “Having each other’s back, I think, is a big thing that this team brings.… We really don’t like negative vibes or attitudes, because that just brings everyone down, because we’re just trying to get better. So the positivity we bring to each other, and how much we lift each other up and make each other be better players, and push each other to be a better lacrosse player and a better teammate and a better student athlete [are what makes our team special].” - Freshman Hana Priddy Graphic by Kyle Dunbar

The University of Indianapolis women’s basketball team fell to Great Lakes Valley Conference opponent Truman State University on Feb. 6. The Bulldogs topped the Hounds 53-46.

UIndy had four players contribute points in the loss. Senior guard Princess German had a game-high, and careerhigh, 32 points. German accounted for over half of UIndy’s points. Junior forward Nicole Anderson and sophomore guard Sarah Costello had five points apiece.

Rounding out the last four points was sophomore guard Devin Ferguson.

The first quarter opened up with a 6-0 run from Truman State, but that was the largest lead they could get throughout the first quarter. In the first 10 minutes of play the Bulldogs had a 14-13 lead. At halftime the score was tied 21-21 after a German three-pointer.

The second half brought an 8-1 run for the Greyhounds, putting them up 29-27.

Leading into the fourth quarter, UIndy was up 34-31.

UIndy was silent offensively in the fourth. The Bulldogs had a 10-0 run that put them ahead with just under a minute remaining. German hit two three pointers in the last 34 seconds, but it was not enough. Truman came out on top, 53-46.

On Feb. 4 the Greyhounds lost by one to the Quincy University Hawks in overtime on. Quincy, ranked No. 18, pulled out a 73-72 win in overtime.

Anderson led in scoring with 21 points, followed by German with 14 points, and Costello with 11 points. Sophomore forward Ashley Montanez had a game-high 10 rebounds.

While there were five ties and three lead changes in the first 10 minutes, the Hounds fell behind in the second quarter. Quincy scored 15 points before the Greyhound offense managed a threepointer from Costello. UIndy scored five points before the half, bringing the score to 28-21 Hawks.

“We started behind … and it’s hard to run after people all the time,” said Head Women’s Basketball Coach Constantine

Popa. “We didn’t manage the game.

They [Quincy] came out with offensive rebounds. We went to the free-throw line, and we couldn’t make those, either. … When we play teams like we played tonight, they know how to finish games.”

The Hounds moved the scoreboard in the third quarter. With German, Montanez, Anderson and sophomore forward Emily Thomas, the Greyhounds moved into the fourth quarter with a 46-41 lead over the Hawks. Quincy came back again in the fourth with a 6-0 run that was halted by a layup from Anderson. The Greyhounds fought back with a 7-0 run ending with a three-pointer from Costello, which gave the Hounds a 53-47 lead with less than five minutes left in the game.

With just over a minute remaining, German drove another layup, putting the Greyhounds up 62-56. UIndy could not hold the lead, though, and Quincy netted a three to tie the game with 16 seconds left. In possession of the ball, German barely missed a three, moving the game into overtime.

The five-minute overtime opened with a 6-0 run from the Hawks followed by a three from Costello. A layup from Montanez nearly tied the game again, but that was followed by three turnovers and a missed shot, allowing Quincy to score four more points. With a minute remaining in overtime, the Hawks led 71-68. After two good free throws from the Hawks, the score stood at 73-69. To finish the game, sophomore guard Devin Ferguson hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, but it would not be enough to lift the Hounds over the Hawks.

“When it comes to us, we have to quit starting [from] behind,” German said. “It’s all about fighting harder and closing the game.... Rankings never mean anything to me. It’s about being smarter and taking care of the ball.”

Overall, the Hounds shot 46.2 percent from the floor, including nine threepointers. Rebounds were 36-31 in favor of the Hounds, but UIndy also committed 21 turnovers that resulted in 28 points for Quincy.

UIndy will travel to Kansas City, Mo. to compete against Rockhurst University on Feb. 11 at 6:15 p.m.

THE FINEST HOURS MOVIE

>> “The Finest Hours” is an action movie that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. However, this movie has more water in it than “The Martian” had space in it. The film is set in 1952 and is based on what is still considered the most heroic rescue mission in Coast Guard history. As a nasty storm blows in, two large oil tankers crash in different locations. The Fort Mercer, followed by the SS Pendleton, are ripped in half by the storm. The movie portrays the time between the shipwreck and rescue attempts for the SS Pendleton. The cast is led by Chris Pine, who plays Bernie Webber, one of the four Coast Guard officers sent on the rescue mission that his peers assumed would be a suicide mission.

Sent by an inexperienced commander on a small boat, he and three others attempt to rescue 32 men in the middle of the sea.

Notably, Casey Affleck truly shined in this movie as Pine’s fearless fiancé. “The Finest Hours” is one to watch.

THE PARTHENON RESTAURANT RESTAURANT

>> Usually, songwriters don’t highlight having a whole album’s worth of songs rejected by some of today’s most popular singers. However, Sia does exactly that with her latest album “This Is Acting.” Almost every song on the album was written by Sia for another artist: Beyonce, Rihanna, Adele, Shakira, Demi Lovato, Katy Perry and several others.

“Bird Set Free,” my personal favorite on the album, was intended for Adele to record for her album “25” and “Reaper” was written for Rihanna. Even though the album is a collection of songs that did not quite make the cut, the album is a masterpiece of upbeat, empowering, dance-it-out songs. “This Is Acting” proves that Sia is a powerhouse, capable of projecting her voice. Let’s say your mind wanders during one of the slower songs like “Broken Glass.” Sia pulls you back in to the real world by belting out not one, but two key changes. Sia is a force to be reckoned with.

>> I am a big fan of trying ethnic foods from around the world, so I was excited to tryThe Parthenon Restaurant, a north-side Greek and Middle Eastern restaurant.The Parthenon greets you with many rich colors and decorations. Upon entering, I was quickly served by a very polite server. The menu featured a variety of different dishes of Greek and Middle Eastern origin, and I decided to get a variety. I began with a Maza Plate, which included a sampling of hummus, tabouli, baba ghanouj, falafel and pita bread, all of which were very tasty. I followed up my appetizer with a half Gyro. I opted to get mine spicy, and the meat was very nicely seasoned. Even though I got a half I was not disappointed by the generous portion of meat that was packed into the bread.There was nothing I had during my visit that I did not like, especially at the very reasonable price. If you’re ever in the area, and in the mood for Greek food, I say give it a try.

THE SIREN BOOK

>> “The Siren” by Kiera Cass, a rewritten version of her 2009 selfpublished book under the same name, is both delightful and intriguing. Kahlen is a siren; she serves the Ocean, luring people to their graves when needed. She is immortal and deadly and must not speak to humans. One day Kahlen meets Akinli, the perfect boy, and falls in love with him almost immediately. But because she is a siren and he is a human, a relationship between them would be impossible. “The Siren” follows the story of Kahlen and the other sirens, before and after Kahlen meets Akinli and struggles with the difficulties of a love that can never be. Although “The Siren” begins slowly, it quickly picks up and becomes a captivating novel that is hard to put down. Cass is a talented author, and her writing makes you feel as though you are part of the story. If you like romance and fantasy, or you just want to get caught up in a good book, I highly recommend “The Siren.”

BENJAMIN HARRISON PRESIDENTIAL SITE ADVENTURE

>> The Benjamin Harrison Home is an attraction that should not be missed.

It’s a shame so few Hoosiers, myself included, realize the impact Harrison had by paving the way for the early progressives. Between his antitrust actions and attempts to further civil rights, he was truly an early reformer. His home is an amazingly well-preserved building.

The entire house is a treat, but the coolest part is the front porch. Here during the 1888 presidential election, Harrison gave many of his speeches. It’s hard to pick a personal favorite, but if you’re a history junkie like me, you will not want to miss “President’s Day: Live from Delaware Street,” featuring a cast of actors playing the Harrison family. The tour guides are helpful, but I have heard that occasionally Harrison’s great-grandson drops by to talk about his famous ancestor.The entry fee is only $10. The cheapest among us should be able to spare a Hamilton to see the house of Harrison.

According to Professor and Chair of Art and Design James Viewegh, public art, the subject of the latest exhibition in the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center Gallery, plays a role in making the city beautiful while being accessible to everyone.

“The arts really need to be supported, because it would be a pretty bland city if we didn’t have it,” Viewegh said.

The exhibition “Roland Hobart and a New Era in the City” opened on Jan. 19. The reception took place on Jan. 25 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., and the exhibition will close on Friday, Feb. 12. One of the panels in the gallery defines public art as “artworks that are freely visible most of the time, in mostly public spaces.”

According to Viewegh, the exhibition not only displays the art of Hobart and

other artists, it also ties in with the art department’s new major, Social Practice Art, which started this year.

Those who major in Social Practice Art will become art activists, according to Viewegh, and will work with communities to promote and bring change and growth to a community by creating projects, such as art murals. Viewegh said he hopes the exhibition will help pique interest in the new major as well as teach students about the history of public art.

The exhibition features the work of Austrian-born artist Roland Hobart, who had won Indianapolis’s first Urban Walls competition, a contest that challenged artists to create a five-story mural.

Hobart said he wanted to participate in the competition because he loves architecture as well as designing it. Hobart’s mural, which can be seen in the exhibition along with his other works, won the competition and became Indianapolis’ first public work of art in 1973. The mural is located at 32 North Delaware Street.

Other artists whose work can be seen in the exhibition include James McQuiston, Robert Indiana and Mark Di Suvero.

The idea of creating an exhibition that focuses on public art came from

Professor of History and Political Science Ted Frantz, who also conducted the first preliminary research. Director of Landmark Columbus Richard McCoy was the curator of the exhibit’s panels, but he also selected the artwork that would be displayed and created the layout in the gallery.

“I wanted to tell a specific story,” McCoy said. “I wanted to talk about an emergence of a new kind of art in Indianapolis at a very particular time. And so I was looking at a time period of 1970 to 1977, and so the criteria was that things had to fit in that frame.”

McCoy said that when designing the layout of the gallery, he wanted the panels and art set up so that a visitor could start anywhere in the gallery and be able to follow the story.

He also said that in this time period, art had a new form, and artists were expressing themselves in ways that were very different from those of previous time periods.

“Roland’s mural, for example, is completely abstract,” he said. “And it doesn’t have a theme, necessarily, or a narrative.

It’s about a feeling. It’s about emotions.

It’s about an expression. So this was, in

1973, a thing that hadn’t been done in Indianapolis outside.”

Gallery Coordinator Mark Ruschman believes the exhibition is special in a couple of ways, one being the historical aspect.

“This is more of a historical survey of public art in Indianapolis. … So it’s not only an exhibit of original art, it also has a story behind it [and the] historical context behind the exhibition,” he said.

Ruschman also said that the fact that the exhibition is not about one single artists or multiple artists but about the concept of public art creates a unique experience for visitors to the exhibition.

“It’s a little bit different than our typical exhibitions in the gallery, where you’ll work with an individual artist or a group of artists,” he said. “It’s about that particular body of work that they’re making. Most exhibitions don’t have this much historical material associated with it. Most exhibitions have a focus on the artist’s output of a particular time and place. So it’s a little different, but it’s nice, because it provides students with important information about Indianapolis and also [the] context of which public art came about.”

According to Ruschman, public art shows that people care about the city,

cultural diversity and different points of view and also brings attention to the city or a particular area that otherwise people would not notice. Viewegh said that public art gives a city character and attracts people to not only visit, but live as well.

“I think it [public art] makes a place more interesting and liveable,” he said.

“Architecture is art. So when we have interesting architecture surrounded by sculptures and paintings and other things, it [the public art] just makes it [the city] more interesting. It enriches the souls of the people who live there.”

Ruschman said that public art is meant to be enjoyed on a daily and hourly basis, with no barriers and no fees to be paid, and it is meant to be enjoyed by everyone.

“There’s an element of surprise and wonderment that comes along with it,”he said. “So for me, that’s always been a really crucial role that public art plays. It doesn’t discriminate young, old, rich, poor. That’s the point of it. It’s in the public domain, and it’s there for all people to enjoy.”

The next exhibition will be “Continuum: Gallery Installation by Rachel Hellman and Jennifer Crane,” and the reception will be on Sunday, Feb. 21 at 4 p.m.

Argentine tango comes to life in ‘Tango Del Angel’ performance

Giampoalo Bandini and Cesare Chiacchiaretta offer advice and grace the stage in Ruth Lilly Performance Hall on Jan. 27 with a variety of pieces

By Erik Cliburn & Morgan Ellis EDITORIAL ASSISTANT & STAFF WRITER Argentine tango made an appearance at the University of Indianapolis on Jan. 27, at the Ruth Lilly Performance Hall in the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center.

The “Tango Del Angel” concert was performed by world-renowned tango players Giampoalo Bandini, on guitar, and Cesare Chiacchiaretta, on bandoneon.

Bandini and Chiacchiaretta opened the performance with “Suite Troileana”

by Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla.

The duo performed eight compositions in total by Piazzollo: “Suite Troileana,” “Ave Maria,” “Adios Nonino,” “Invierno Porteno,” “Milonga del Angel,” “Muerte del Angel,” “Oblivion” and “Libertango.”

The y also per f or med “Gal lo

Ciego” by Agustin Bardi, “El Choclo,”

by Angel Villoldo and “Nubes de Buenos Aires,”

by Maximo Diego Pujol.

Bandini discussed his and Chiacchiaretta’s opportunities to travel and play Argentine tango in many parts of the world.

“We have the possibility to see a lot of different countries and a lot of different cultures,” Bandini said. “With the music you can try to leave a message to everybody.”

The duo also taught a master class to some of UIndy’s music students on Jan. 28.

“The students will play their repertoire, and we will try to give some suggestions about the music,” Bandini said.

“We of course play tango, but we are classical musicians, and we teach at s om e o f t h e universities and conservatories in Italy. So we have a lot of experience. We enjoy meeting very much with the young people to try to help them grow.”

Sophomore music education major Shaina Lescano enjoyed the duo’s performance. Her favorite piece from the concert was “Nubes de Buenos Aires.”

“There was a lot of passion in the

playing, and it really showed the nature of tango. It’s supposed to be very seductive and sexy music, and that’s kind of what it was,” Lescano said. “They didn’t seem like the kind of performers that are on a pedestal — almost like you could just walk up onstage, sit there and listen.”

Chiacchiaretta commented on the passion he feels during his performances and how that helps express his music better.

“It’s a new expression of classical music,” Chiaccchiaretta said. “For us, it is a show, and if I have my passion inside, then why should I not express it? I think it is a good way to communicate with people, because they have to watch what is happening” Music Professor Paul Krasnovsky discussed his enjoyment of the

performance.

“Oh, it was absolutely brilliant,” he said. “I would say that it was one of the best concerts we’ve ever had in the history of the [Ruth Lilly Performance] Hall that I know of, or that I’ve attended.”

Krasnovsky hopes UIndy students will get more involved in seeing concerts similar to the Bandini-Chiacchiaretta duo.

“Most of the people who are part of our university are totally unaware of what goes on. They don’t realize that — not just in music, but theatre — all the artistic events that go on at our campus are outstanding, and we really deserve to have more support from everyone,” Krasnovsky said.

The next concert will be the “UIndy Opera Theatre,” which will take place Feb. 12 and 13, 7:30-9:30 p.m.

A group photo of the 58 women who attended the first meeting of Delight on Jan. 24, where they spent time getting to know each other, more about Delight and some of the things they would be doing as members. Delight meets Sunday nights in UIndy Hall B/C at 6:15 p.m.

More than Bible study, Delight brings women together Delight Ministries, an all-female Bible study group, comes to UIndy to help women learn about God, serve and connect with God through weekly meetings

By Ashlea Alley & Alexis Stella ONLINE EDITOR & STAFF WRITER The laughter of college women and pink banners on a Sunday night in the Schwitzer Student Center signal a new ministry at the University of Indianapolis.

Delight Ministries is an all-female ministry devoted to building a community, growing together and growing in relationships with Jesus Christ, according to the group’s website.

Two college women at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn., founded Delight Ministries in the fall of 2012.

It began as two friends and grew into many friends. According to the Delight Website, “We are a college women’s community that grows together, serves together, learns together and does life together while chasing the heart of God.” Ellen Hodson, a sophomore psychology and pre-occupational therapy major and Delight Community Coordinator, decided it was time to bring this ministry to UIndy.

“I think a lot of people just haven’t felt a connection with other Christian ministries,” Hodson said. “I think the other Christian ministries are awesome, but everyone connects in a different way.

And I think there are a lot of people that aren’t a part of something that want to be. So I think that bringing Delight will just be another way people can connect to God.” Delight Ministries functions as a weekly meeting, but along with that, is the Delight devotional book. The book covers many topics, and recent college graduates wrote it.

Freshman nursing major Adrienne Henke believes the book is going to be one of the best parts about Delight.

“The books that we are using are written by college women that have experienced and gone through things that we probably will in the future,” Henke said. “It seems real and not the cookie cutter typical Bible study. It seems more down-to-earth.”

To grow as a community, Delight also will host community events. This is when the group will go to an activity together, such as ice-skating or laser tag. Delight also serves the community. For example, they may go to a homeless shelter and feed the poor or go to the nursing home. Along with the devotional study, the community events and the service events are the worship nights. The Delight worship nights are the third Sunday of every month.

Student commuters combat winter weather

By Zoë Berg FEATURE EDITOR Waking up early to roads covered in ice and snow, waiting for the car to warm up and having to leave extra early to make it to class on time are just some of the things that the commuters attending the University of Indianapolis may have to deal with in the winter.

While on-campus residents wake up to snow-free, salted sidewalks, commuters have to worry about road conditions and traffic. According to snowfall.weatherdb. com, on average Indianapolis receives 12.8 inches of snow each year. Although as this year has not brought as much snow previous years have, the snow has still made things difficult for some students. Freshman pre-law political science major and legal studies minor Aml Alkhatib has about a 15-minute commute from Speedway each day. But in the winter, especially when road conditions are poor, it takes her much longer to get to UIndy.

“There was one bad snow day where it took like 45 minutes to get here,” she said.

Alkhatib is not the only commuter facing this problem. Freshman music education major Katie Snider said it takes her 25 minutes on a good day to get from where she lives in Plainfield to UIndy.

“I know at the beginning of the semester, when there was bad weather, I had to leave like 20 minutes early just to be safe, to make sure I’d get to class on time.

But so far it hasn’t been bad where I’ve missed class,” Snider said. “It just takes a lot longer, especially having to wake up and make sure that my car is warm and scraped off. And people drive a lot slower when there’s snow on the ground, so that takes a lot longer.”

Motosafety.com says that according to the Federal Highway Administration, 24 percent of all car accidents in the United

States happen in snowy, icy and slushy conditions. So when getting ready to leave Alkhatib said that in addition to it taking longer to get her car ready, she also has to think about the road conditions.

“When it’s warmer, I usually drive faster, ” she said. “When it’s winter, I have to take my time because of the icy roads.

And the highways are really bad normally during the winter. So because it’s really bad, I don’t take the highway.”

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has tips for driving safely in winter on their website, osha.gov. It talks about the three Ps of safe winter driving.

“Prepare for the trip; protect yourself; and prevent crashes on the road,” OSHA says.

Some things O S H A re c ommends are checking the car to make sure everything functions properly before leaving, keeping winter supplies such as snow scrapers, jumper cables, flashlights and blankets inside of the car and always planning what route to take.

Snider said that she is prepared for driving in the winter.

“I can jump my car, and I have blankets and stuff in there [my car] for the winter,” she said. “My mom makes sure I have stuff in there [my car]. She told me to put clothes in there [my car], but I haven’t yet, and I probably should.”

OSHA also suggests allowing extra time to get to places during the winter, something both Alkhatib and Snider do.

While neither has missed a class, Snider did say she was late once.

“I’ve been late, because I used to have a night class, and it started at 6 [p.m.].

So I had to give myself an hour to get to class because of the traffic. But I didn’t know that on the first day so I got to class about 10 minutes late,” she said. “It was OK because the class was pretty laid back, but I felt very uncomfortable. I was very sad that I was late.”

“When it’s winter I have to take my time because of the icy roads. And the highways are really bad...”

social media platform Instagram. Wahl was excited to check it out and decided she would be back the next week.

“As we go on during the semester, we’ll probably get more comfortable with each other and get to know each other better,” Wahl said.“It’ll be easier to open up about issues we’re having or our relationship with Christ.”

In order for Delight Ministries to be on campus, it needed to be a Registered Student Organization. The process was not easy according to Erin Mills, a sophomore psychology and pre-occupational therapy major and Delight Worship Leader.

“It’s appropriately difficult,” Mills said. “You don’t want just anyone to be able to start an RSO. It was a lengthy process, and it took a lot to plan the kickoff. And even getting the word out was a big part of it too. You have social media which is a great source, but some people don’t like that form. So you have to do posters and just word-of-mouth. I think word-of-mouth has just helped us the most. People we didn’t even know just told others, and those people told others. I think the process was hard, but definitely worth it, because it shows that if you follow through that you are determined that you really want it for the school.”

Delight at UIndy meets every Sunday night at 6:15 p.m. in UIndy Hall B/C.

Fire Safety Tips When cooking, never leave pots and pans unattended on the stove.

When cooking by the stove, keep your workplace clean, so that flammable materials don’t accidentally catch on fire.

Check your smoke detector regularly, and change its batteries biannually.

If you are working with an open flame, remember to roll up sleeves and wear oven mitts to avoid injury.

Also, unless you only use a microwave, keep a fire extinguisher in the kitchen.

Be careful where you put portable heaters, as they can light flammable materials, such as curtains.

Blow out candles before sleeping, and only use stable bases.

Don’t leave them burning unattended.

Create an escape plan with at least two exits and keep them clear and unblocked.

has taken the time to compile many fire safety resources that are useful to on- and off-campus students.

“I, myself, can’t get out into these places, so I try to get students to think about that piece [the safety] of it,” Selby said. “As you can tell, I’ve designed that whole fire safety piece around families.

Selby reassures students that UIndy’s campus is very safe, that when it comes to the dorms, fire safety is not really an issue. However, accidents can still happen when carelessness is not addressed.

Selby believes fire safety comes in a wide range of actions, but it is all important. He warns students to be careful around an open flame of any kind and above all else to evacuate a building if the alarm sounds.

certain services.”

Thakar said that his concern was that by eliminating the two positions, the campus would suffer from the change because of the necessity and specialized nature of the work. Thakar, who was an international student and has taken students on a study abroad trip every year since 2011, said the International Division serves as a lifeline to those who are new to the country and that he knew firsthand how necessary such a service is when trying to navigate through colloquialisms, taxes and other hurdles to which international students must become accustomed.

“I was familiar with the United States, being a person who studied international politics, and I knew a lot about America,” he said. “And even then, I required significant help.”

Chase said her biggest concern was that if the two positions were eliminated that when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement came to campus to do routine checks and for whatever reason the person in the position that was left became sick or could not do the job, then international students would be required to leave at the end of the semester. Thakar said he was worried about this as well.

“This is an extreme case,” he said. “But it might feasibly take place if there’s only one person, and that person says in the middle of the semester, ‘Look, I found a better job offer’ or ‘My mother’s sick; I’m going to take care of her.’ So if you have more than one, the kind of structure we have now with people, at least then it’s feasible.”

Pennell said he was moved to write a motion to be presented at the Faculty Senate Meeting.

“I think we, as faculty, have a moral responsibility to speak up in these kinds of situations,” Pennell said. “And we have just a practical responsibility as leaders in the university to point out when it looks like an administration might be making a mistake. And so in my view, they were making a mistake, and my colleagues agreed.”

Pennell put forth a motion at the Faculty Senate Meeting on Jan. 26. The motion called for the immediate reversal of the decision to eliminate the two positions in the International Division. Thakar seconded the motion, and faculty members and senators spoke up about what they thought about the subject, while President Robert Manuel listened.Then Manuel said that he understood the concerns. Faculty Senate President Jodie Ferise called for a vote in an advisory capacity only. The motion was passed by the senate. The two positions have been reinstated since the meeting.

“The International Division is intact,” Drake said. “It is what it has always been.

The workload isn’t changing either. The work that the International Division has always done will continue to be done within its current structure.”

Drake said the faculty did a great job of sharing their concerns and was glad that International Division’s importance was shared.

“I think maybe part of what domestic students and maybe even some faculty and staff don’t know [is] that in terms of some of what the International Division does—they do a lot of different things—but just the process of managing Visas, it’s a lot of complicated paperwork involved with being an international student, and there are some pretty substantial repercussions if that paperwork isn’t done properly, like you have to leave,” Drake said. “So the International Division provides all of that support for our international students and faculty actually.… So we’re really pleased that all of that is in place.”

Thakar said he is very grateful that Manuel took everyone’s concerns into consideration and amended the decision.

“He’s [Manuel’s] been very good about it,” Thakar said. “He took our concerns as valid, and I was very grateful that he did not intervene but allowed people to speak up and heard everything and then illustrated what a conversation really is—one side listens and then the other side also listens. That’s the way it should be.”

Pennell also said he was pleased with the results of the meeting.

“I felt like he [Manuel] demonstrated good judgment and real leadership,” Pennell said. “I felt like he heard us, he listened to us. And I feel like he made a good decision as a result.”

Chase said that she believes the intentions of the change were good, and the goal is to help international students become integrated with student affairs.

“We’re not going to lose the positions,” Chase said, “so we can now build from what we have, and we hope to add on new and exciting areas of responsibility.”

Dynes said he encourages students and faculty to reach out to him and let him know what their needs are as planning for the MEGA Center continues.

Anyone who has a suggestion for the MEGA Center or would like to discuss ideas with Dynes can contact him at dynes@uindy.edu or by campus phone at 317-788-3512.

U.S. signs Trans-Pacific trade deal, prompts disagreement

By Don Lee TRIBUNE WASHINGTON BUREAU WASHINGTON (TNS)—Representatives of the United States and 11 other Pacific Rim nations on Thursday, Feb. 4, formally signed a sweeping free trade agreement reached last fall, setting in motion what is expected to be a hard battle for approval in national legislatures, none more contentious than in the U.S. Michael Froman, President Barack Obama’s chief trade negotiator, beamed as he walked onstage during a signing ceremony in New Zealand, but back home it is looking increasingly unlikely that a congressional vote on the deal will take place by summer. Major presidential candidates continue to pan the accord, and even leaders of the GOP—the party of free traders—have shown only lukewarm support for what Obama has made his top economic priority in the second term.

“I have some problems with the agreement,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told reporters Tuesday, reiterating comments he has made since the text of the accord was released in November. “With both the Democratic candidates for president opposed to the deal and a number of presidential candidates in our party opposed to the deal, it is my advice that we not pursue that, certainly before the election.

“And some would argue that it’s not fair to the voters for them not to consider what you might do after the election,” he added, suggesting the possibility of a congressional vote during the short lameduck session in November and December.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement was concluded last October in Atlanta after more than five years of negotiations.The accord would be the largest regional trade pact in the world, binding together economies that make up nearly two-fifths of global economic output by eliminating duties on thousands of goods and setting uniform rules on intellectual property, labor rights, the environment and other areas affecting trade and investment across borders.

So far, only Malaysia has ratified the agreement. Representatives of Mexico and Australia indicated Thursday, Feb. 4, that it would be months, possibly year-end, before debate would be concluded and a final vote taken up by their respective lawmakers.The other countries are Brunei,

Canada, Chile, Japan, Peru, Singapore, Vietnam and New Zealand.

Some nations will be waiting first for action in the U.S., where vehement opposition to the deal from Democratic lawmakers and many others has cast doubts about whether the Obama administration can bring the agreement to implementation. Obama’s hopes for enacting the legacy-making accord have been complicated by presidential campaign politics—free trade is hardly a populist issue—and more recently by the stormy global economic climate and the possibility of an economic slowdown in the U.S. “The economy is going to grow more slowly; everybody’s ratcheted down their forecasts,”said Peter Moroci, a University of Maryland professor and former chief economist at the U.S. International Trade Commission. “It makes it more difficult to sell that thing,” he said of the trade accord. “When people aren’t doing well economically, they’re more fearful of change.”

In recent weeks, Froman and other Obama administration officials have been working on Capitol Hill and across the country to highlight what they see as the significant overall economic gains for the country in expanding foreign markets for American-made goods and services.

Obama has argued repeatedly that the Pacific pact is also critical in strengthening American political leadership in the face of a rising China.

U.S. business groups have been generally slow and somewhat reserved in their endorsement of the deal, though that may soon change. “In the weeks ahead, the chamber will be ratcheting up its advocacy for the TPP,” said John Murphy, senior vice president for international policy at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Organized labor and other opponents of the partnership, including various health, environmental and consumer groups, have been campaigning hard against it for months. “We’re definitely mobilizing now,” said Thea Lee, deputy chief of staff at the AFL-CIO. She wouldn’t say whether the labor group was targeting certain lawmakers, as it did last year during a fight over a fast-track trade bill vote. Obama narrowly won that battle, enabling him to wrap up the Pacific trade negotiations and to present the accord to Congress for a straight upor-down vote, with minimal delay and no amendments.

Clinton-Sanders debate turns personal

Map of countries in the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Tribune News Service 2015 Analysts say Obama isn’t likely to submit the Trans-Pacific Partnership as legislation to Congress until he is confident that it will be approved by both chambers.

The president is also expected to wait until the International Trade Commission, an independent federal agency, releases an assessment of the deal’s economic effects.

That report is due by May 18.

A study by the Peterson Institute for International Economics, a private think tank, has estimated that the trade pact would boost annual real incomes of Americans by $131 billion, or 0.5 percent of U.S. economic output, by 2030. But another study, by researchers at Tufts University, found significantly smaller income gains to the U.S. and said that the Pacific trade accord would likely lead to employment losses and increases in inequality.

For key GOP lawmakers, whose support is seen as critical for securing enough votes to ratify the accord, the issues come down to a handful of interests, including tobacco companies’ access to special tribunals to settle disputes, longer periods of intellectual property protections for drugmakers, and greater flexibility for financial institutions in where data can

be stored. Many Democratic lawmakers opposed to the Trans-Pacific Partnership say the accord falls short in providing adequate protections for workers, consumers and the environment.

William Reinsch, president of the National Foreign Trade Council, a pro-trade group representing scores of multinational firms, doesn’t see any of the GOP concerns as insurmountable.

“I think these are problems that can be addressed, but it’s going to take some time to work through them,”said Reinsch, a veteran of Washington trade wars. He added, however, that the administration still has a huge fight on its hands: “The thing new this time around is that opponents are much better organized that they have been historically—and there’s more of them.” ___ (Staff writer Lisa Mascaro in Washington contributed to this report.) ___ (c)2016 Tribune Co.

Thanks to on-demand health care app Heal, your next doctor’s visit could take place on your turf—home, office, hotel, even coffee shop—and on your terms.

The web and mobile app offers the equivalent of the modern-day house call.

Push a button and a licensed physician will show up to provide you or your child care on par with what you’d receive at a typical doctor’s office.

In that sense, Heal is similar to the popular ride-hail app Uber. Instead of a driver, the company dispatches a pediatrician or family practice doctor (along with a medical assistant) at your request, and sends notifications of your approaching physician.

“Everything your primary care doctor can do, we can do,” said Dr. Renee Dua, who specializes in kidney care and who co-founded Heal with her entrepreneurial husband, Nick Desai.

The couple was inspired to create the service after struggling to secure a timely pediatrician appointment for an ill, infant son.

They ultimately found themselves stranded at an emergency room, enduring an hours-long wait to receive care for their kid’s not-too-urgent ailment.

“On the way home, we thought about how we could fix a broken operation,” Dua said.

Now, less than a year and a half later, Heal is meant to be a viable alternative for scenarios when scheduling a doctor’s visit feels impossible but a trip to the ER is definitely not the best option.

WASHINGTON (TNS)—The Zika virus’s health effects generally are described as mild—flu-like symptoms for those who show symptoms at all—or not yet certain, with references to GuillainBarre syndrome, which causes paralysis, or microcephaly, an often devastating birth defect.

But the linkage to GuillainBarre, an autoimmune disorder first brought to the American public’s attention three decades ago as a reaction to swine flu vaccine, isn’t new to the current outbreak.

Researchers raised the likelihood of a Zika-Guillain-Barre connection two years ago after an outbreak of the virus in French Polynesia, the first time the disease had spread to a population that could be tracked and treated.

According to an article in the October 2014 edition of the journal Clinical Microbiology and Infection, the first case of Guillain-Barre was detected just one month after the first Zika cases were reported in French Polynesia in October 2013. The Guillain-Barre sufferer—the syndrome typically causes paralysis that can be so severe as to affect the ability to open one’s eyes and even to breathe—had had a confirmed case of Zika a week earlier.

Over the course of the French Polynesia Zika outbreak, the incidence of Guillain-Barre increased twentyfold, the researchers noted.They called the “temporal and spatial association” between Zika and Guillain-Barre “very suspicious,” though they said they couldn’t prove a

Web and mobile health care app Heal dispatches a doctor to your home, office or hotel at your request. (Heal) The app, which the co-founders hope turns into an acceptable standin for primary care, can also come in handy for oft put-off preventive care or flu shots.

With Heal, doctors are available for on-demand attention daily between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. The company is also in-network with a couple of insurance providers, including Anthem Blue Cross of California and Blue Shield of California, meaning the in-home convenience could cost no more than your standard co-pay.

Otherwise, Heal charges a fixed cost of $99 per visit, which covers the entire session save for any tests that require additional processing, such as lab work.

“I think it’s the start of something that’s going to be really important as we go forward in health care,” said Dr.

Andrew Eads, 35, an ER doctor who will also provide part-time care to Heal users in San Diego. “A lot of people have chronic illness or something that can be managed a couple of days earlier than when the patient does come into the ER.” Eads said 20 percent to 30 percent of the ER patients he sees don’t actually need urgent care.

He hopes Heal can help people avoid the exorbitant costs and extra trouble associated with an emergency room visit, and, longer term, views the app as a replacement for primary care. ___ (c)2016 The San Diego Union-Tribune Visit The San Diego Union-Tribune at www.sandiegouniontribune.com Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

causal link.

But they did warn that Zika merited “rigorous clinical monitoring,” despite its reputation for inducing only mild symptoms in most of its sufferers. “The observation that severe clinical complications may occur highlights the need to strengthen surveillance for this emerging virus,” the authors said.

The primary author of that article, Didier Musso, a French infectious disease expert, revisited Zika in a short piece a year later, where he again mentioned the Zika-Guillain-Barre link and said the incidence of Zika infections is probably under-reported.

In an interview this week with the French magazine Le Point, Musso said he believes the Guillain-Barre link is “almost certain” and that the link between Zika and microcephaly in infants is also a near certainty .

And he expressed doubt that those are the only complications that eventually will be linked to what until recently was considered a rather benign infection.

“It is illusory to think that one has already seen the possible complications for a disease that emerged only three years ago,” he said. He said there also have been reports of Zika sufferers having impaired sight and hearing.

He called for close monitoring for an extended period of time of anyone whose Zika symptoms have passed. ___ (c)2016 McClatchy Washington Bureau Visit the McClatchy Washington Bureau at www.mcclatchydc.com Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
