Sarah Urist Green visits UIndy Creator, curator and host of “The Art Assignment,” a web series that introduces artists and teaches art history, discusses her project with students

By Cassie Reverman DISTRIBUTION MANAGER Sarah Urist Green, creator of “The Art Assignment” and wife of author John Green, spoke at the University of Indianapolis on March 3 to discuss the project and her involvement with it.

“The Art Assignment” is an educational web series produced in partnership with PBS Digital Studios that introduces innovative artists and teaches how art history is still relevant today, Green said.

Before starting “The Art Assignment,” she worked as the curator at the Indianapolis Museum of Art for six years and attended Columbia University for her master’s degree in art history.

Green said that “The Art Assignment” posts a new video each week, with a new assignment video posted once a month.

“We don’t just make assignment videos, but also videos that talk about issues around contemporary art and why certain popular artists are still relevant, and other things like how to visit a museum,” she said.

Green said the idea behind the project “was mostly to find a way to reach people who don’t go to museums, who are creative and are making things and wanting to share them online, and give them context to what they are doing and show them people who have successful careers in art.”

Freshman art therapy major Kyle Agnew said he attended the event because he had previously heard of Green and her work.

Green said that “The Art Assignment” is open to anyone who is interested in participating.

“I think it encourages cross disciplinary thinking,” Green said. “We have people that are chemists. We have a chemist in Tel Aviv who has submitted work. I think it’s great that someone who works in a completely different field can sort of think about these assignments in

Students to schedule two semesters at once

By Ashlea Alley ONLINE EDITOR Registration for seniors begins on March 28, with underclassmen registration right after. Although registration is only a month away, many changes are to be expected, one of those being multiterm registration.

According to Registrar Kristine Dozier, one of the benefits of multi-term registration is that it gives students the possibility of more sections for waitlisted courses.

“I think a lot of students—once they register for classes—they might feel a little hopeless,” Dozier said. “We’re hoping that this [multi-term registration] will help relieve a little of that angst. Now we have eight months to prepare.... So this first year will give us an idea on where we can get better at our schedule planning in order for students not to be upset when they don’t get into the classes they want.”

Director of the Center for Advising and Student Achievement Lela Mixon said a benefit of multi-term registration is the ability to create a plan for a year.

“We’ve been slowly but surely trying to incorporate comprehensive academic planning,” Mixon said. “We have been working with Student Affairs, some academic units and others on campus to create a pilot of a Greyhound Plan.”

According to Mixon, a Greyhound Plan is a way for students to think big about what they want to accomplish throughout their college career.

Dozier said that the decision to schedule a full year was not solely based on one person’s perspective, but more on a collective perspective from a few years ago. According to Dozier, the Educational Advisory Board, a nonprofit organization that does data studies on institutions, kept returning to the idea of multi-term registration, so the administration started thinking more about it for the long term.

She said the University of Indianapolis

campus is the right size for this transition.

Junior nursing major Caitlyn Armbruster said scheduling a full year does not bother her.

“I like the opportunity to be proactive about your schedule and meeting with people for the whole year rather than just a semester,” she said. “You can look at more options, and you get to see if you have the ability to graduate early or the ability to fit other things in your schedule. And you might not have known that if you just [had] planned one semester.”

Sophomore community health major Anna Buttgen has reservations about multi-term registration.

“I don’t like it because I feel like too many things could happen between now and next spring,” she said. “I can see why administration thinks it’s a good idea, though.”

Multi-term registration will only be available for sophomores, juniors and seniors. Incoming freshmen will register for the first semester at their orientation day and then again in mid-October for the second semester, according to Dozier.

She said this may be an inconvenience for freshmen, but since the learning curve is so steep coming to college, doing this will put less stress on them.

Multi-term registration will be a learning process for everyone, Dozier said and she wants to make sure students are comfortable with asking questions.

“I figured students might have a lot of questions about financial aid, billing and how does this change?” Dozier said. “It’s not really changing anything you do besides just scheduling for an entire academic year. They still have a deadline each semester for their bills, and financial aid will still be packaged one semester at a time.”

For more information or to ask questions, students can email Kristine Dozier at dozierk@uindy.edu or Lela Mixon at lmixon@uindy.edu.

their own way.”

Green also has seen other benefits come out of this project that have personally helped her.

“I’ve gotten to know a lot of artists that I wouldn’t think of for the museum environment or for the particular museum I was working with,” Green said. “I’ve also gotten to work with a very wide range of artists that I wouldn’t get to work with in a museum setting, and I would’ve only been able to work with a handful of artists.

I’ve done 24 different assignments in the past two years. So for me, I get to meet all

these amazing artists and get to have a great experience with them.”

Green’s talk also helped freshman political science major Sarah King.

“Her journey surprised me,” King said. “She went from not liking her [college] classes in undergrad to going to be a curator. It just gives me hope.… There are a lot of artists working everywhere, and they influence all of our areas of life that you’re not super aware of all the time.

It’s not always a bunch of super-famous people in museums.”

Agnew’s view is that art does not have

to be just a private thing.

“Art can be something very interactive.

It might not feel like art, but like the fake flyers and everything, it’s a very public idea,” Agnew said. “But you can really involve everyone of all ages.”

Green has several goals for the project’s future that include growing the audience and showing what opportunities are available out there.

“I want to grow our audience and reach people who don’t necessarily think of themselves as interested in art,” she said.

“I want to spread the word to educators and art students who aren’t in school and who don’t have people giving them assignments. I want more people to find this resource and use it.… I think that there’s a certain audience that watches a lot of YouTube videos and knows how to find new things, but I don’t really think that there’s a built-in art community on YouTube. So for me, I like to go speak to students to help them be more aware that it exists and that there is a platform for presenting your art and thinking about it in the context of the Internet.”

Out of all the projects, Green said her favorite is one of the more recent ones.

“I think I would say Nathaniel Russell’s fake flyer,” she said. “I think it’s a language we all know and understand on a college campus, and it’s a very easy thing to accomplish, and it uses materials that everyone has access to, and you don’t have to overthink yourself. You can approach it and can have fun with it, and you don’t have to take a serious stance on it.”

UDS survey reveals food satisfaction

By Nicole Monday ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR UIndy Dining Services sent out a campus-wide email inviting faculty, staff and students to participate in a survey about the Dining Services on Jan. 20. The survey featured questions over what people enjoy, what can be improved and how UDS can increase satisfaction. The survey yielded data from approximately 526 students, 53 faculty and 69 staff.

Vice President for Student and Campus Affairs and Dean of Students Kory Vitangeli helped create the survey and sent it out. Vitangeli said that the questions were based on other surveys used around the nation.

“We looked at some national surveys of just food service at different colleges and universities and [had] just taken some questions from there,” Vitangeli said. “These questions are pretty similar to what colleges and universities ask just in terms of gauging food service satisfaction.”

The survey asked many open-ended questions, such as likes and dislikes about UDS and how UDS can increase satisfaction. One of the common responses among all three categories was about fresh fruits and vegetables. Most people who took the survey said that they enjoy the fresh fruits but also wish there was more of a selection to choose from.

Executive Chef and Director of Food

Service Operations Sean Emrick employs several different techniques to ensure freshness and quality of food.

“We have temperatures that are taken at the time of preparation, at the beginning of service and then throughout service.

Each station has a log, and they [staff members] log that information,” Emrick said. “Plus, we recently had all our line leads and cooks ServSafe certified. That’s a program that teaches everything to do with food handling.”

Among the most popular food choices at UIndy are the chicken breast, specifically the grilled chicken. Emrick received feedback in regard to the chicken, that caused a change in presentation.

“We go through approximately 20 cases—200 to 250 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breast—a day,” Emrick said. “This school year, some of the feedback I received about the grilled chicken was that they [the consumers] have butter knives, and the chicken was hard to cut up. So that’s why we went to having the diced [chicken] for everyone, too.”

Vitangeli said that the feedback from the survey will help to gauge what needs to be improved, and changes will continue to be made based on the feedback.

“We already have, since the beginning of the semester, started looking at them [the issues], and they [staff members] have been doing a really good job of labeling and trying to change up the free zone,” Vitangeli said. “We’ve

added gluten free breads to the grill areas, so that people can eat in those areas.

And [we are] just looking and making sure that we are changing up and looking at presentation.”

Despite all of the things that people wish to see improved, Vitangeli is happy with the survey results and wants to continue improvements.

“What made me feel good is that these are all issues we have looked at—both the dining services and the university—and that we are constantly striving to improve them,” Vitangeli said. “Our goal is to continue to improve satisfaction, because we want people to enjoy eating on campus.”

Emrick said that he loves what he does and is always open to feedback.

“I just want the students to know that UDS takes a lot of pride in what we do and that we are here to serve the students,” he said. “I have an open-door policy. I love what I do, and I want to make sure that we are giving the students everything that they want and enjoy and a good variety.”

Vitangeli said she also appreciates the feedback and wants students to feel comfortable eating around campus.

“I’m open to feedback at any time,” she said. “I would love to hear from more people who didn’t get a chance to fill out the survey.”

Vitangeli said that another survey will be sent out at the end of the semester, and she hopes to continue to send out surveys every coming semester.

You?

Whi

By Michael Rheinheimer OPINION EDITOR

Graphic by Kyle Dunbar

I’m close with my entire family, but there’s one uncle in particular who has a very special place in my heart for a number of reasons.

Obviously, you have to have a special place in your heart for the man who taught you to be a rebel. While my parents made sure I said “please” and “thank you,” he taught me how to gamble and shoot straight with my BB gun.

Overall, he’s just a good guy.

There is, however, one thing that might turn some people against him—he used to be a Trump supporter.

My uncle is as much of a classic American as they come. He, of course, believes in liberty and justice for all. He’s not a stupid man. He knows what empty rhetoric is. In fact, it is because of his intelligence that he supported Donald Trump. He’s tired of feeling like he’s being played by the career politicians.

He and I disagree on a number of issues, including whether or not Trump is actually fit to be president, but at the end of the day, he’s still my uncle. He will always be my uncle. Just like at the end of this election cycle, the defeated Trump voters will go back to being our neighbors and our fellow Americans.

It strikes me that this is just one symptom of a larger issue facing our country. It is, no doubt, a side effect of the partisan wars.

It is doubletalk so obvious in its stupidity that it is disturbing that people don’t seem to catch it.

The loudest voices on the left and right say different things, but their nastiness and willingness to demonize their perceived enemies is identical. It frightens me to no end that there aren’t more editorials

about this.

Take for instance the case of Oxford student Jacob Williams, who in his words, was tired of “debate–dodging campus politicos.”So to make his point, he started “No Offence,”a British student magazine meant to air unpopular opinions.

“So what’s happened is liberalism has started to eat itself, and people no longer accept that those who disagree with them on those issues are capable of being reasonable, decent or compassionate human beings,” Williams said. “They barely accept that they’re human at all.”

An acquaintance of mine has even said that she’s surprised that no one has shot him yet.

And therein lies the real issue. It becomes exponentially easier to kill someone when you have stopped seeing them as human. Of course, most of the conflict doesn’t start with killing. It starts with jokes and angry Facebook posts, and gradually it becomes violence.

Now of course, this doesn’t apply to all liberals. Part of my worldview includes a saying that the huge majority of Americans, and most likely people in general, are rational moderates who still see the other side as human beings. But I would be lying if I told you those fringe extremists don’t scare me.

Now, back to the Trump camp; he has definitely attracted some bad eggs.

Among their number is perhaps the chief of the bad-egg tribe, former Klan leader David Duke.

D uke endorsed Trump, and encouraged his followers to do so as well. He said that it would be a betrayal to their heritage to vote for anyone other than Trump.

In light of this, it is easy for us to judge all Trump supporters by the company they keep. That’s a bad move on our part; it is

exactly what they want us to do.

According to “The Atlantic” article, “The Great Republican Revolt,” Trump’s seemingly unstoppable campaign is fueled by the angst of a group that few would have ever guessed would feel like outsiders.

Author David Frum wrote: “The angriest and most pessimistic people in America are the people we used to call Middle Americans. Middle-class and middle-aged; not rich and not poor; people who are irked when asked to press 1 for English, and who wonder how white male became an accusation rather than a description.”

I’m not trying to downplay the fear I feel when I think about Donald Trump.

The man is wicked.

We are the 9/11 generation. We are used to foreign threats to our way of life.

This election cycle, however, the threat is a homegrown madman. In past presidential elections, we were given a choice between two ideologies that both agreed, to certain extents, in our core American values of liberty and justice for all. Now we face a choice between preserving those ideals, or letting our fear give way to an American brand of populist extremism.

There’s a lot of truth to the saying about turning the other cheek and not meeting violence with more violence.

Violence only inspires more violence, and divisive language just leads to more divisive language.

The only real way to make America great again is by checking our egos, and our fiery tempers, at the door and having adult conversations about how to compromise and solve these problems.

Learn to see your opponents as people who just happen to disagree with you. If you want to continue to dehumanize the people who disagree with you, you’re more than welcome to stay at the kid’s table.

busy schedule.

When my entire list of courses that I was prepared to take for the next semester were all booked along with my backup courses, my advisor was only one email away. She helped sort out my schedule within ten minutes and helped with the stress of it all.

CASA benefits transfer students, incoming freshmen and even those few who decide that their original plan is not quite what they want. CASA can also be frustrating for some, whether that student is trying to make contact with them or even how involved the advisors seem to be. Within an hour of switching my major, a CASA advisor contacted me to make my new schedule.

Think back to when you were a graduating senior in high school.You were secretly stressed about going off on your own to college, but when you arrived, you were mandated to see a student advisor.

I can understand the frustration there, but what would you do without CASA? Nobody comes to college knowing what courses to take, but the faculty

advisors, as well as CASA help students figure that out.

I believe students actually do need both. With the entire class of incoming freshman along with the rest of the students the faculty can be overbooked.

Students have to remember you may have a faculty advisor but that advisor may also teach six other courses. CASA helps break it up so many students are not swarming the faculty. Plus, it is smart to start out with CASA because a student may always change their major.

Not only do we see our advisors our freshman year, but also our senior year.

Say for argument sake, you never changed your major and have had the same advisor all four years. Why can that advisor just sign off on your graduation? I believe visiting CASA senior year is redundant in that case.

Like I said, everyone has his or her own set of opinions regarding CASA. But between taking students off the hands of faculty advisors, and helping to place students in the correct class, I say CASA is doing a rather fine job.

Professional Edge: CASA provides guidance for students a valuable resource

By Alexis Stella STAFF WRITER

By Robbie Hadley BUSINESS MANAGER

The real world is approaching quickly.

Although I have had the pleasure of living the last couple of years in the pseudo-reality that we call college, not signing up for classes next year ended that dream. Now I am in the limbo of senioritis—looking for a job while still trying to focus on all my work.

I have found one of the places that made my transition easier is the Professional Edge Center.

For those who may not be familiar with the Professional Edge Center, it is described on its website as follows: “UIndy’s Professional Edge Center helps students from all academic areas— even those who haven’t figured out a major—identify career pathways, interact with business professionals and develop professional and interpersonal skills.”

For me, Professional Edge has been an invaluable resource throughout my time here. I’ve taken multiple trips over to the Alumni House, all for different reasons.

My unstable future plans changed. When I wanted my resume vetted, they helped me polish it to land an internship. When I was looking at different graduate school options, they put me in contact with alumni who knew their way around the process.

Recently, when I was looking for a real job, they helped me navigate their website Handshake and look for jobs that an English Literature degree would qualify me for.

While my turbulent future seems like a potential wreck to me, they have seen it all and know how to guide students through. Yet many students don’t utilize them at all.

I’m sure they aren’t going to guarantee that they will land you the dream job that you’ve always wanted, but they will help you look into your options and see if they can plug you into their networks of alumni and acquaintances to give you a better chance at whatever your goal may be.

The best part is that, as a student or alum, this is all free. Instead of paying a professional tons of money to help your job search, polish your resume or help you network, the university has set this up to use included with your tuition. It seems to me that it is foolish to turn down free help. If you have paid for it with your tuition already, why not at least give them 20 minutes of your time to see if there is anything they can do for you. The worst that can happen is that you go once and don’t feel the need to go again. However, best case scenario, they let you know about a job that you never considered and connect you with a source that you wouldn’t have ever known. They help you weed through the nasty real world so that you don’t have to spend 12 hour days filling out blind applications to wherever you think you could have a decent shot with.

That single hour of your time is well worth it. You have absolutely nothing to lose, and a whole lot to gain.

With high school graduation comes the choice about where you will spend the next four years. The questions that come along with this may seem hard to answer at first, but the great thing about the Center of Advising and Student Achievement is that the counselors can help make the long list of choices easier.

As a freshman, deciding which courses to take was extremely stressful. However, those associated with CASA helped me choose not only the courses that best fit my learning abilities but the courses I could handle.

As a college student I completely understand those who are independent and do not like being advised.

Looking back now, as a soon-to-be sophomore, I realize how dependent I was on my CASA advisor. Class scheduling as a freshman can bring out intense anxiety.The CASA organization goes out of its way to help fit courses into your

Summer jobs available through Handshake

By Maia Gibson STAFF WRITER

Graphic by Melvin Mendez

With summer approaching, the University of Indianapolis and companies in the Indianapolis area are posting summer jobs and internships on Handshake. By creating a profile and uploading a resume, students can apply directly for a majority of the positions from Handshake.

Director of Career and Community Integration Betsy Knott said that summer jobs and internships are important opportunities for students.

“There are lots of levels of importance.

To some degree, I would say it depends really on what it is that you’re trying to accomplish out of your summer,” Knott said. “Everybody has a different motivation and a different priority. But working in general—whether it’s part-time, fulltime, [or an] internship—is always going to give you more information about likes and dislikes of what you want to do with your life full-time.”

Associate Vice President of the Professional Edge Center Corey Wilson has a similar view.

“Practice makes perfect, so starting early in your experiences from working at a summer job or an internship is going to help you,” Wilson said. “It’s never too early to start thinking about getting that experience. The more practice you have, the more clarity you’ll have at the end,

when it’s time for the real opportunity.”

Wilson and Knott highlighted a few of the hundreds of opportunities posted on Handshake. One of the jobs available to students is with UIndy’s Office of Admissions.

The summer ambassador positions work with the admissions staff from May 31 to mid-August to recruit and welcome future students. They not only help with the day-to-day duties of the admissions office, but also work registration days, sit on student panels as needed and attend out-of-state receptions.

Some of the off-campus companies with summer opportunities include Baldwin and Lyons Inc., the Indianapolis Zoo and the Indiana State Government.

Baldwin and Lyons Inc. is offering internships in a number of its departments, including graphic design, human resources and auditing.

The Indianapolis Zoo is looking for ticket takers, ride operators and seasonal camp counselors and has a variety of other positions as well. Students can apply for the Governor’s Summer Internship Program with the Indiana State Government in various departments, including human resources and content development.

To help students feel prepared for summer jobs, internships and their future careers, the Professional Edge Center is continuing to host events. On Wednesday, March 23, at 10 a.m. in the Krannert Memorial Library, the Professional Edge

Center is holding a resume workshop.

At the workshop, students can have their current resume reviewed or get help starting one.

More information of the Professional Edge Center’s upcoming events is available on the events page on Handshake.

Students also can make one-on-one appointments with Professional Edge Center staff members for resume reviews, interview tips and help with finding summer employment opportunities.

In addition to attending Professional Edge Center events, Knott suggests that students tell others about the opportunities they are interested in.

“Tell people what you’re looking for,” she said. “That includes the Professional Edge Center, that includes your parents, that includes faculty, that includes your RA, that includes anybody who might have a vested interest in making sure that you are successful at the level that you want to be successful at.”

Wilson advised against waiting to figure out summer plans.

“Don’t wait until May to start thinking about what you’re going to do this summer. Spring Break is a great time to really start that process with yourself of thinking [about] what you want to do,” he said. “As soon as you come back from Spring Break, come see us [The Professional Edge Center], because we’d like to help you connect with whatever that may be.”

Archaic club hosts event New mayor creates a

Taste of the World event brings different countries’ cultures together in the Schwitzer atrium

By Erik Cliburn EDITORIAL ASSISTANT “Taste of the World” was held in the Schwitzer Center atrium on Wednesday, March 2, for University of Indianapolis students to experience bits of different cultures around the world.

The event—coordinated by Archaic, a club of mostly archeology and anthropology majors—included music, dancing, food and various activities at tables around Schwitzer. Archaic President and senior archeology and anthropology major Elizabeth Straub organized the event.

“Well, we’ll have food from several countries, provided by the university,”Straub said prior to the event. “We’ll also have several students coming, and they will be bringing little snacks from their home countries that people can try. ” The music was performed by wife and husband duo Carol and Gary Pattfield.

Carol played the Native American flute, while Gary played an acoustic guitar. After the Pattfields’ set, Shreya Khetan, a student in the master’s program in physical therapy, performed a classic Indian dance routine for the audience in the atrium. Straub was excited to see the turnout for the event.

“I’m just really excited about the number of people who are interested in it [‘Taste of the World’] this year,” Straub said. “We brought it back for the first time last year.

It used to be a regular thing, and then it sort of fell out.”

A smorgasbord of foods from several different countries lined a large table near the back of the atrium. The first dish was “almond kisses,” a sweet, cookie-like dessert filled with almonds, which originated in Hungary. The second dish was “empa-

nadas,” small folded pastries filled with meats and cheeses, which originated in Mexico. The third dish was “bissara,” technically a soup, but with a consistency similar to refried beans. It is made from fava beans and originated in Morocco.

The third dish was “bruschetta,”a thinlysliced, garlicy bread topped with tomato and basil, which originated in Italy. The final dish was “miso soup,”which is made with a stock called “dashi” and contains tofu. It originated in Japan.

Several stands were set up around the Schwitzer atrium, each representing a different country or culture. There was a stand representing Italian culture and heritage. The stand let students match Italian words to pictures and also try homemade “Anisette” cookies, baked by sophomore archeology major Jennie Saponaro. At another stand representing Middle Eastern culture, students could

have their names written in Arabic. At a stand representing German culture, students could match German words with the pictures next to them. At a stand representing Native American culture was a game in which students could match archeological artifacts found in Indiana to the material they were made of. At the stand representing Indian culture, students could try spices from India and henna tattoos.

Saponaro said that there actually were not that many people involved in the organization.

“We don’t have a lot of people involved, but the people who are involved seem really excited about it [the event].”

Saporano said.

“Taste of the World” presented UIndy students an opportunity to try different foods from cultures about which they may know very little.

On Jan. 2, he announced his 100-day plan to begin to handle the public safety crisis in the city of Indianapolis. During this announcement, Hogsett and Indianapolis Police Chief Troy Riggs outlined the agenda of the initiative. It will tackle five main challenges.

The first challenge involves focusing on six areas of Indianapolis where crime is widespread in a particular area at a particular time, firmly established and difficult to change. According to an article from the “Indianapolis Recorder,” this includes about 13.5 square miles of the city and is where 45 percent of the criminal homicides occur.

Hogsett directed Riggs to immediately begin community policing in the neighborhoods by assigning officers to those six specific areas. The officers will get to know the communities they patrol and the problems they face.

The second will involve federal, state and local law enforcement agencies working together to target the 1,400 plus individuals in the city with outstanding felony warrants relating to weapons or crimes against people.

The third item connects to the second.

With the city’s federal partners, the team will establish a united homicide response team whose purpose is to solve not only the homicide itself, but to track and attack how the homicide originated. The

SJP divestment vote fails Student Senate

By Michael Rheinheimer OPINION EDITOR

The Student Senate failed to pass the divestment measure proposed by Students for Justice in Palestine at the Senate’s Feb. 27 meeting. The measure needed 41 votes to pass. Of the 62 student senators in attendance, only 39 voted aye. Three voted nay, and the remaining 20 abstained from voting.

Carolyne Wilhelm, student senator and junior international relations major, called the non-binding resolution a petition that would have shown the Student Senate supported divestment. She said the resolution would not have guaranteed action on the part of the administration, but it would have shown that the majority of students supported it.

The resolution would have requested that the university no longer invest money in, or carry the products of, companies with business ties to the Israeli government.

The divestment measure was a part of the international group Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions.

The vote came at the end of a two-hour meeting. After brief speeches concerning the upcoming reaccreditation of the school and the planned Multicultural Engagement and Global Awareness Center, the senate allowed 30 minutes for both sides

to make their cases to the senate.

For the first 15 minutes, students and community members against the resolution spoke. Six people rose to speak, and all lined up and waited for their turn to speak. Junior finance major Jonathan Schwarz was the first to speak. Schwarz objected to the resolution because he believed that the measure would not provide anything constructive.

“I oppose this resolution because I believe it’s student government’s goal to unify students, not divide them, which is exactly what this resolution seeks to do,” Schwarz said.

Schwarz also was concerned that the meeting was held on the Sabbath, a day when observant Jews refrain from work. He said he believed if the meeting had been held at a more convenient time for them, more people would have come to speak against the resolution.

The final speaker was Lindsey Mintz, executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council. She was concerned that the resolution was too simplistic for such a complicated issue.

Before she was cut off for time, Mintz affirmed her group’s support for the two-state solution and claimed that the resolution, and the international Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement as a whole, pushed a false

dichotomy.

The first to speak in favor of the resolution was Mark Sniderman, Indianapolisbased civil rights lawyer.

His opening remarks addressed those who had spoken against the resolution.

“We’ll never question your Judaism,” he said. “Please do not question ours.”

Sniderman spoke on behalf of Jewish Voice for Peace, a social justice group based in San Francisco, and said that he supported the resolution because he supported the broader BDS movement.

“And if our talk, and our engagement with BDS, unsettles some, well, so be it,” Sniderman said. “We cannot, we will not, be cowed by false and exploitative accusations of anti-Semitism. We have the right, we have the obligation, to speak truth to power and criticize the policies of any nation-state, especially those that kill in our name.”

After Sniderman’s speech, Zak Mitiche, program coordinator for SJP and leader of the group’s divestment initiative, rose to speak briefly. After Mitiche’s speech, the senate adjourned for lunch.

After lunch, Indianapolis Student Government President Rachael Junard asked whether there was any new business.

Mitiche motioned to bring the resolution to debate, and his motion was seconded.

The motion passed, and the senate began 45 minutes of discussion.

During the debate, one of the senators representing Sigma Zeta put forth a motion to table the vote because she felt she did not know enough about the larger issue to vote comfortably.

Junard suggested that the resolution required a larger campus conversation than senate voting would allow.

Discussion continued, and a vote was called. However, since the resolution did not pass, a decision was made to open the conversation to the entire campus.

Just four hours after the end of the session, Vice President for Student and Campus Affairs and Dean of Students Kory Vitangeli emailed all students and faculty and listed five upcoming events that will be open to the campus.

According to her email, history and background information of the Israeli– Palestinian Conflict will be given at 9 p.m. on Tuesday, March 22, in UIndy Hall. A discussion on the social issues surrounding the conflict will be held at 4 p.m. Thursday, March 31. Faculty will provide an academic perspective on the conflict at 9 p.m. on Thursday, April 7.

A discussion on financial responsibility will be held the following Thursday at 9 p.m. Finally, a campus-wide forum and presentations will be given the following Tuesday at 4 p.m. The location for the final four events will be announced over the next few weeks.

fourth is to establish a real-time crime data center and to institute monthly law enforcement meetings between federal, state and local law enforcement agencies and the community as a whole.

The fifth and final item in the plan is to incorporate all of Indianapolis into solving the safety problem, whether that means members of the public joining a neighborhood watch group or simply talking to an officer on his or her beat.

Hogsett said that government and law enforcement alone cannot solve these problems.

In a recording of his announcement speech found on indypolitics.org, Hogsett said that he does not think that government and law enforcement alone can solve these problems.

“We are asking the people of Indianapolis to stand up, be counted and to step forward in the midst of this crisis of public safety,” Hogsett said. “We have to come together.”

Hogsett said he does not think that the public safety issue is going to be solved in 100 days, but he thinks it is a start. Assistant Professor of History and Political Science Laura Albright agrees.

“I think he’s absolutely right that in 100 days it’s very unlikely to stop all the criminals within the city,” Albright said.

“But part of it’s public awareness, and I think he’s done a really good job at that and the fact that people know that crime is an issue. And so we have a real strategy to actually tackle it. Now, it’s overtime.

Of course, it doesn’t all happen in one day, so how are they able to prevent crime from recurring.”

Four wrestlers head to Nationals

UIndy hosts the two-day Super Region 2 Tournament where seven Greyhounds made it to day two and four will travel to Nationals

By Kylee Crane EDITOR-IN-CHIEF And then there were four.

Redshirt senior Josh Kieffer, redshirt sophomore Nick Crume, redshirt junior Taylor DeLong and redshirt freshman Dylan Faulkenberg will represent the University of Indianapolis at the NCAA 2016 Division II National Championships in the 125, 133, 184 and 285 lb. weight classes, respectively.

The four earned their trip to Nationals by placing in the top four at the NCAA Super Region 2 Tournament. UIndy hosted the regionals in Nicoson Hall on Feb. 26-27. As a team, the Hounds finished fourth out of the 14 teams present.

Kieffer’s first match against the University of Wisconsin-Parkside’s redshirt junior Ronzel Darling ended in a 3-2 decision, that sent Kieffer to the finals match. He then claimed first place in the 125-bracket with a 3-0 decision over Tiffin University sophomore Giuseppe Penzone.

Kieffer’s two regional titles make him the fourth Greyhound in the program to do so. Kieffer also is the third wrestler in Greyhound history to earn four trips to Nationals.

Crume’s semifinal match ended in a 10-2 major decision against the then No. 8 seeded Derrick Nelson from Coker College. The win sealed Crume’s Nationals fate. With a trip to Nationals already in hand, Crume went one step further and earned first at regionals. He beat Newberry College’s redshirt freshman Jordan Simpson with a 9-1 major decision for the title.

Crume said his lack of nerves and previous experience against Nelson on the mat helped him earn his semifinal victory.

“I wrestled him last year and beat him pretty handily. This is only the second time I have wrestled in this weight class this season, which is why he was ranked above me,” Crume said. “I was pretty confident about that match stepping onto the mat, which really helped.”

DeLong’s matches on Friday sent him to the consolation bracket, but Saturday he revived himself. DeLong went 3-0 on

Saturday and earned his trip to Nationals.

He opened the day against Coker College’s freshman Luis Peguero with a 2-0 win. That was followed with a pin against Shorter University senior Dalton Lane.

DeLong earned a third-place finish in an 11-10 decision over redshirt junior Brandon O’Neill from Ashland University.

Faulkenberg opened the day with a 6-3 decision over University of Wisconsin-Parkside sophomore Matt Halverson. The win over Halverson led to Faulkenberg wrestling the University of North Carolina-Pembroke redshirt junior Stuart Nadeau. The match was decided in the first tiebreaker, resulting in a 9-6 decision that moved Faulkenberg to the third-place match. In a close match, Faulkenberg battled for a 3-2 win in the second tiebreaker round against junior Austin Akins from Coker College to earn his first trip to Nationals.

Head Wrestling Coach Jason Warthan

said that while being fully satisfied with the Super Region 2 Tournament results is difficult from a coach’s standpoint, the weekend also was bittersweet.

“It’s tough [going into regionals], because you know there’s a good chance that not everyone is going to go through.

So you might be coaching someone to the last match of their season or their career and then turn around and have a very meaningful match and sit in the corner and get yourself composed. So emotions are all over the place,” Warthan said. “I thought Friday could have gone better.

I thought the seven who advanced to Saturday wrestled very well, and then of course the four who are moving on wrestled very well. It’s hard to be satisfied as a coach. There were a few matches that I think we could have won that didn’t go our way. But the silver lining there was that it wasn’t a lack of effort or preparation; it was aggressive mistakes.”

With a two-week break between the regional tournament and Nationals, Warthan said that practices will remain similar to those of the regular season, thanks to this year’s Spring Break and Nationals schedule.

“This year is different than the last six,” Warthan said.“Nationals is[the] first week of Spring Break instead of [the] second.

We have the luxury of practicing all the guys that are healthy, so I want it to be as normal as possible. As far as lifting goes and wrestling for two hours, we’ll cut that back and kind of taper. The guys will watch what they are eating and watch what they’re doing and take care of their bodies, and get rest.”

Crume said that he plans to come in with a much more laid-back perspective, as he did during the Super Region weekend, but not because of his previous Nationals experience.

In the past, I stressed myself out too much. And this year, I’ve really been able to zone out, relax and have fun.”

Two wins, whether in a row or with a loss before or between, are all a wrestler needs to earn the title of All-American at Nationals, and Warthan believes the four wrestlers have the capability of returning home with at least that.

“Is it realistic for all of them to be All-American? I think so. I think we’ve put ourselves in the position to return with all four of them with at least that title,” Warthan said.

The Greyhound wrestlers will head to Sioux Falls, S.D., for the 2016 NCAA Division II National Championships, March 11-12.

Track and Field qualifies six for Indoor Nationals

By Jessica Mehrlich EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

The University of Indianapolis men’s and women’s track and field teams traveled to Kenosha, Wis., to participate in the Great Lakes Valley Conference Indoor Championship, Feb. 27-28. The Greyhounds pulled out second-place finishes in both the men’s and women’s competitions.

Head Track and Field Coach Scott Fangman was pleased with the teams’ performances. He said the second-place finishes were great accomplishments.

“They beat us … fair and square,” Fangman said. “We have nothing to be ashamed of. You can look back now and say, ‘We got second in conference; what does that mean?’ Well, it means you beat 12 other teams. You went into that thing 0-0 and you walked out 12-1. That isn’t too bad.

“Our conference is pretty legit. I’m not saying it’s a powerhouse in track, but it’s a pretty legit conference. We’ll have our fair share of All-Americans come out of our conference, usually.”

Beating out the Hounds for first place was Lewis University. This is the third year in a row that the Flyers have won the indoor championship. Fangman said the Flyers’ are among the best in the nation.

“On the men’s side, it really came down to the last three events,” Fangman said. “Just to give you an idea, there are 17 events going on, and it came down to the last three. They [Lewis] beat us head-to-head in the 200[-meter]. [For] our 3000[-meter], we literally had to pull somebody out, because they got the flu over the weekend. They beat us head-tohead in the 4x4 ... right now these relay teams [the Flyers] are the top ... in the country.”

The Hounds finished the weekend

with six first-places finishes. Sophomore Katie Monk won the women’s weight throw with 17.58 meters and shot put with 14.33 meters. For the men, junior Vincent Ziraldo won the weight throw with 17.95 meters, and junior Shaquelle Lewis earned first in shot put with 16.30 meters. Senior Josh Bass won the long jump with 6.99 meters.

Although the Hounds have faced challenges this season, Fangman said that the situations did not affect the teams’ performances.

“I think that everyone did exceptionally well under the circumstances,” he said. “I think that we honestly did finish as high as we could have.”

As the teams start transitioning from indoor to outdoor, Fangman said that he is expecting great things.

“We normally get a little better outdoor than indoor, only because [of ] the additional events,” Fangman said. “So we’re usually pretty decent for that. Two more throws are added, longer hurdle races are added, a 10000-meter race is added and then another relay. Those usually play all into our favor.”

Junior Kylie Ballard said she is looking forward to the opportunity for the team to improve as the season continues.

“You can always improve,” she said.

“For everyone, it’s trying to be the best athlete you can be, the best person you can be and the best student you can be.

Overall, we’re trying to better ourselves as a whole, and I think we can do that for outdoors.”

Monk, sophomore Kieran Casey, junior Quinntyn Qualls, freshman Brian Sales, sophomore Antwan Martin and freshman Allen Wright all advanced to the NCAA Divison II Indoor Championship. The six qualifiers will travel to Pittsburgh, Kan., to compete in the NCAA Division II Indoor Championship, March 11-12.

Men’s lacrosse winning streak continues

By Laken Detweiler SPORTS EDITOR

Three games into its inaugural season the University of Indianapolis men’s lacrosse team has a perfect 3-0 record.

The team defeated Shorter University 17-6 on Saturday, March 5. This was their first time at Key Stadium.

The team is willing to learn and work hard said Head Men’s Lacrosse Coach Greg Stocks. He said he believes that is the reason the team has been successful.

Freshman midfield Eric Lounds said he and his teammates are out to prove that they will continue to be successful.

“I think coming in, some people doubted us and dogged on us a little bit, like the first couple of months of school.

But after they see we have won [three] games, like [I hope] they realize we came here for business, and we know what we’re doing,” Lounds said.

The Greyhounds had five seven men score in the win with freshman attack Parker Kump leading the group, Kump had five goals. Freshmen midfield Luke Allen had four goals and attack Shawn Kimble added three. Also scoring was freshmen attacks Tyler Johnston and Matthew Johnson and midfields Joseph

Szymkowicz and James Smith.

UIndy outshot Shorter 44-41 and won 16 faceoffs compared to Shorter’s 11.

Freshman goalkeeper Jarod Kimble has been in goal for all three of the Hounds wins, and has 24 saves on the season, allowing seven goals on average.

The Hounds’ second win of the season was more than 550 miles away in Franklin Springs, Ga. at Emmanuel College. UIndy beat EC 16-6. Johnston led with four goals. Johnson and Johnston had eight shots apiece, totaling 16 of the team’s 42 shots. UIndy outshot the Lions 42-14.

“We played well enough to win,” Stocks said. “I think there was a lot of things that we need to do a lot better for these upcoming games for us to be successful. But it was a long trip, and we got done what we needed to get done for the W and made the trip home.”

The Greyhounds opened their inaugural season on the road on Feb. 20 in North Carolina. The first win of the season meant the first men’s lacrosse goal in UIndy history. At 10:02 in the first quarter, Lounds found the back of the net to tie the game 1-1 against Mars Hill College, the defending South Atlantic Conference champions.

“It was a pretty honorable and breath taking moment,” Lounds said. “It just

happened so fast, I don’t really know how to describe it. It was a great moment….

Coach didn’t think I would be the one scoring it.”

“My money wouldn’t have been on [him], so it was nice to see it,”Stocks said.

The final score was 12-9 UIndy.

The buildup to the first game began when the players committed to UIndy, and the hard work started when they arrived on campus. School started in August, and after seven months of buildup, the team took the field for the first time.

“I think lacrosse—with it being one of the sports that end the school year—there is a lot of work that goes into it throughout the school year. So there is kind of [a] build[up] of excitement throughout the year,” Stocks said. “Then finally in February, it kind of releases. And on top of that, it was all of their first college game [except for our four upperclassmen.] So there was quite a bit of excitement within the team, throughout warmups and in the locker room before the game. And it kind of continued on into the game, which I think helped lead us to the win [against Mars Hill.]”

The men’s next game will be against Wheeling Jesuit University on March 12 at 1 p.m. This will be the team’s first conference game of the year.

EDDIE THE EAGLE MOVIE

>> “Eddie the Eagle” opened Feb. 26 and has since inspired the nation.

The movie is based on true events about a young British ski-jumper who never stopped believing in himself despite great odds. Taron Egerton, who portrays the young Michael “Eddie” Edwards in this heart warming film, plays alongside his rebellious and charismatic coach, Bronson Peary, played by Australian actor Hugh Jackman. Eddie, whose character can be described as a loveable goofball, became the first competitor to represent Great Britain in 1988 at the Calgary Winter Olympics. Although Eddie placed poorly in the games, he went on and became an icon of the Olympic spirit.This film warms the heart of even the coldest of people. My favorite part was not a particular scene, but the interactions between Eddie and Bronson, which made this a film I grew to love. If you are looking for a film about an underdog, look no further than this wonderful story.

BLUEBEARD RESTAURANT

>> Did I just ride in a metaphorical time machine to the 80s? Because this album seriously imitates a John Hughes movie. “I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It” rocks. As I began to listen to the album, I expected that a few songs might stray away from the old time feel, but I was wrong. The song “Love Me” brings you right out of the winter blues. Only a few more weeks, and you can listen to this ballad on the beach. This is The 1975’s second full-length album, and comparing it to the group’s first, it will be just as successful. I am a fan of deep and meaningful, slow lyrics, and that is exactly what you can expect. The final tracks on the album set the scene for when you just want to soak in your own sadness, because let’s be honest, we all like to do that every now and then. This album will no doubt bring in thousands of new fans and it will keep the old fans even closer.

Good work, The 1975.

>> Bluebeard is a Kurt Vonnegut themed restaurant in Fountain Square.

Bluebeard features high-class food that is not too expensive, but not cheap either.

So save this restaurant for special occasions. It has a lot of books and typewriters, along with Vonnegut quotes and a few first-edition books, according to my server.

The restaurant uses ingredients from local farmers, and because the ingredients are so fresh, the menu changes on a daily basis. I tried the chips and french onion dip, followed by quail with squash, onion, marjoram, watercress puree and chicken jus. As a cook, I have to say that the menu should be easier for people to understand.

The chips and dip were flawless, and the quail was good, but probably not something I would buy again. It tasted great, but there is barely any meat on a quail.

At the end of the visit, my server sent me home with a free loaf of day-old bread from Amelia’s, the bakery next door. This is a place you don’t want to miss.

HIDDEN BODIES BOOK

>> “Hidden Bodies,” by Caroline Kepnes, is a follow-up to her first book, “You.” The book traces Joe Goldberg’s quest for love. However, the search for love has left four dead bodies, all people he claims needed to die. After another bad breakup, Joe packs up his things and moves to Los Angeles, where everyone gets a second chance. However, he can never stop looking over his shoulder, thinking his past and the dead bodies are going to reappear at any moment. One night, Joe finds what he is looking for: true love.

He wants to be with his new girlfriend forever, but if she ever finds out about his past, there is nothing he will be able to do to keep her. “Hidden Bodies” is thrilling and mysterious. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. I recommend reading the first book in the series; otherwise you will be confused at the beginning of the book. If you’re looking for a new twist on romance, I highly recommend “Hidden Bodies” as next on your reading list.

INDIANAPOLIS MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART ADVENTURE

>> Entering the Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art, I was greeted by what appeared to be plain, white walls. But after roaming the exhibits, I found that the museum was full of life.

“Transaction Boundaries” — the exhibit during my visit — documented the beauty of Cuban life with photography, film and sculptures. On the far wall opposite the entrance, there was a collage of photos in the outline of Cuba. Next to the entrance was a pair of headphones, which played the sounds one would hear roaming the Cuban streets. In a separate room was a couch with a screen in front of it, where a film of the streets of Cuba was playing, documenting the daily life of the people.

The film was my favorite part of the exhibit, because it gave the exhibit the liveliness it needed and I learned more about the Cuban people. While the artwork was beautiful, the exhibit comprised only two rooms, and there was not enough to hold interest for a significant amount of time.

“Tico Tico,” by Zequinha Abreu, arranged by Bill Homan, was the next performance of the night. Solos were performed by Strole on trumpet, O’Neal on vibraphone, Snidero on alto saxophone and community member Steve Simon on trombone.

Mendoza went on to talk about the important role the vibraphone played in the creation of the song and commended O’Neal’s talent.

Students donate leftovers to shelters UIndy Food Recovery Network helps reduce food waste from dining hall by donating it to shelters

By Zoë Berg FEATURE EDITOR

Photo by Kameron Casey

Students from Perry Meridian High School and Southport High School volunteer with UIndy Food Recovery Network as part of the Burmese American Community Institute’s Upward College Program.

About a year ago at dinner, sophomore psychology major Brittany Finigan began to think about what happens to the leftover food from the dining hall. Finigan said she turned to someone sitting next to her, who worked for food services, and asked what happens to the extra food, and he said most of it was just thrown away.

This is what inspired Finigan to research and eventually start UIndy Food Recovery Network.

UFRN has volunteers get together on Tuesday nights and package the leftover food from the dining hall to donate to shelters. The group is part of a larger organization across America called Food Recovery Network.

According to its website, foodrecoverynetwork.org, FRN was started in 2011 by three students at the University of Maryland, College Park. The organization continued to grow, and it now has 172 chapters around the United States with 1,115, 640 pounds of food recovered.

When Finigan began to wonder about where the leftover food was going, she went online and did research. She said one of the first things she found was FRN. Finigan said she worked with the group to set up a chapter at the University of Indianapolis.

“First, I did contact them [FRN], just

to see how I should go about all of it,” she said. “And the first step was to obviously talk to my dining hall, talk to the dining hall manager.… When I did she was completely on board. She just had to make sure that it would be OK—that the university would be safe in donating food and void any lawsuits.”

Finigan explained that the university is protected under the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act. It protects businesses that want to donate their leftover food to a nonprofit organization from criminal or civil liability, according to feedingamerica.org.

After getting the approval of the university, Finigan said she looked for shelters to which the food could be donated. The group now donates to Wheeler Mission Ministries, the Salvation Army Women and Children’s Shelter and occasionally Holy Family Shelter and alternates to whom they donate every week.

“We go there [to the kitchen] once a week, so just Tuesday nights. What they [dining hall staff ] do is the week prior, they save up all the food that they think will eventually just have to be donated.

And they just keep that in the fridge until we come on Tuesday nights. Because UIndy’s pretty good about reusing their food ... we stopped at three [places to donate to].... But eventually we’d like to do more nights and obviously donate to more places.”

Finigan said UFRN usually has

about three or four volunteers helping on Tuesdays, with the exception of the nights when groups come in. She said the softball team will sometimes help out and recently, UFRN had a class of high school students come in to help. But she would like to get more volunteers.

Finigan would like to see UFRN expand. She currently is working with Food Rescue K-12 to get schools in Marion County to start recovering and donating some of their food. UIndy is one of three chapters in Indiana, according to FRN’s website, so Finigan would like to go to other campuses and talk to them about joining FRN. As for UIndy, Finigan would like to see UFRN grow to be more than just a volunteer organization.

“Instead of it just being set as a volunteer organization, I would really like to see it become an RSO on campus. I think it has a lot of potential. I feel like there is more that we can do just outside of our Tuesday night recovery nights, such as maybe trying to figure out how we can start composting on campus, [and] being more of an advocate for environmental sustainability, especially with recycling.

I think it could definitely branch out to different environmental sustainabilities involvement and just going out and volunteering at the shelters is something.”

Finigan estimated that UFRN has recovered up to 800 pounds of food and she estimates that the group has recovered about 170 pounds of food this semester.

“We do try to do things with the religious organizations, just to show support for each other,” Elliott said. “We try to reach out to other groups just to kind of spread what we’re for and what they’re for.”

Elliott also added that he comes from a small town where the LBGTQIA community is “hush hush and not widely talked about,” but that coming here and being part of PRIDE has had its benefits.

“The biggest benefit is the form of community the RSO provides. It’s just a fun place we can come to where you just feel comfortable and safe, and everyone knows what we

talk about will stay between each other because some things can be very sensitive and some lighthearted. It’s a safe place for me and others to talk about some of the shared struggles and joys we’ve all felt.”

Elliot said there has been movement across the country in support of the LGBTQIA community, and Elliot agrees that it has helped the RSO as a whole.

“We’ve gained a lot of support.

We’ve had a lot of people over the summer come back and say, ‘Congratulations!’ or text us or tag us on social media.

It’s helped us gain a little more acknowledgement that our movement is serious.

And it’s not just something like selfishly wanting and more of [an] acknowledgement of human rights. So it’s very much helped us, getting a stronger sense of identity in terms that we are relevant to society and that our issues matter.”

Even though the RSO has been continuing to gain support, it still has some significant goals for the future.

“Our big thing for next year is initiating safe zone training,” Elliot said. “It would be cool if we could do it towards students, but it’s mostly geared towards faculty members and members of the offices. What it is ... that they’ll go through training, and they’ll become certified and qualified in terms of being a safe place to talk and not be judged about it. We’ve had a couple of those in the past, but it’s something we would like to reemphasize, because faculty members come and go.”

UIndy PRIDE reaches out for universal acceptance

By Cassie Reverman DISTRIBUTION MANAGER

UIndy PRIDE is the University of Indianapolis’ gay-straight alliance,and it’s a safe place where allies, LBGTQIA supporters, and members can discuss issues within the LGBTQIA community.

The group meets every Wednesday night in the basement of Schwitzer at 9 p.m.

Junior social work major and Co-Chair of PRIDE Austin Elliott said that the meetings are often discussion-based.

“We talk about subjects that correlate with our life, but it’s also very educational based, like informing us on issues in our society and community,” Elliott said. “It’s a place where we can come together and also how we can bring our influence out to the community as well.”

PRIDE is continuing to try and spread acceptance.

“Allies are generally pretty accepting,” Elliott said. “Sometimes you get weird looks, but overall they’re pretty accepting.

Since we are a United Methodist affiliated school, [it] can sometimes cause a little bit of controversy with the schools and other RSO’s. So we still have to make sure we’re being respectful of other’s beliefs.

The same goes towards us.”

To help spread acceptance, UIndy PRIDE will set up tables during lunch hours and talk to passing students about current events and to promote upcoming events the RSO is sponsoring. PRIDE also partners with other RSOs when putting on events. Elliott said members do this to “show support for each other.”

PRIDE’s most recent event was creating crayon art with UMSA.

UIndy professors discuss agnostic, atheist beliefs

By Erik Cliburn & Madison Hays EDITORIAL ASSISTANTS

Although the University of Indianapolis is associated with the Methodist Church, UIndy is home to different cultures and faiths, and within those different groups fall both students and professor of questioning or of no faith, such as agnostics and atheists. An agnostic is someone who refrains from practicing a traditional religion, but may still believe in a god.

An atheist is someone who completely denies the existence of any god or diety.

“I would define myself as agnostic, but I would say I explicitly reject traditional religions,” Assistant Professor of History and Political Science Chad Martin said.

“There are different ways of looking at agnosticism, and you could say, ‘I leave myself open to the possibility that Christianity is right,’ and I don’t.

I’m not going to say there is no higher power because I think it’s really arrogant for human beings to deny the existence of something that is so much bigger than them.”

Martin turned away from the church at around 14 years old.

“I can say that I was raised religious and I can walk away from that pretty confident that I’m not going back,” Martin said.

Martin found the accepting nature of UIndy to be refreshing.

“I wasn’t attracted to UIndy for the religious aspect, obviously, but it wasn’t so religious that it repelled me,” Martin said.“There are certain institutions where you have to sign a statement of faith to teach, and obviously I couldn’t do that.”

Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Religion Joshua Mills-Knutsen does not put himself under the category of atheist or agnostic but does not involve religion in any part of his life.

“For me, it’s not a question of whether or not God exists. For me, it’s a question

of what role God or religious beliefs plays in one’s daily life,” Mills-Knutsen said.

“And for me, it doesn’t play any. It just does not impact my decision-making. It’s not as simple as saying atheism, agnosticism or anything like that; it’s rather a question of impact, and it just doesn’t impact me.”

Mills-Knutsen said he has found that the student body remains largely unmotivated religiously in class discussions and academic decision-making.

“Certainly I find the [UIndy] students to be open-minded,” Mills-Knutsen said.

“I’m not clear on what the religious character of this school means to students, I don’t really get the sense that it means a lot to most of them.Though, I do certainly have faithful and religious students in my classrooms.”

To maintain an unbiased viewpoint when teaching courses such as Introduction to Philosophy, Mills-Knutsen avoids bringing up his own personal views about faith and gives the perspectives of all sides.

“My favorite semester ever was about six or seven years ago,”Mills-Knutsen said.

“And in evaluations, I had a student praise me for being obviously Christian, I had a student criticize me for being obviously Christian; I had a student praise me for being obviously atheist; and I had another student criticize me for being obviously atheist. In general, when I approach my classes, that’s what I want.”

Martin believes that although UIndy is Christian-affiliated, it remains very openminded about other beliefs and cultures.

“One of the things that reassured me about UIndy was when I was first being interviewed here,” he said. “We did a campus tour, and I remember going through Schwitzer, and there was the room for Muslim prayer with the arrow on the floor pointing towards Mecca. And I remember when I saw that I said, ‘This is going to be OK,’ because if it [UIndy] is a Christian university that makes these accommodations for Muslim students, then that’s open-minded enough for me.”

“It’s a safe place for me and others to talk about some of the shared struggles and joys we’ve all felt.”

UIndy offers more than 200 undergraduate courses. Visit My UIndy for more information on classes and how to register today!

Throwing coach Randy Ziraldo dies at age 65

By Tony Lain STAFF WRITER “Coach Z ... made anyone that listened to his instructions better,” said Director of Track and Field Scott Fangman who had known and been friends with Throwing Coach Randy Ziraldo for 30 years.

Ziraldo passed away on Feb. 12 after waiting nearly five months for a heart transplant. Ziraldo had worked as the throwing coach for the University of Indianapolis for four years after leaving the University of California Berkeley in 2011.

He was a dedicated coach and teacher who even coached from the hospital through Skype in his last months, according to Fangman, who first met Ziraldo while coaching high school track with him at Southport years ago.

“In the short time he was here [at UIndy], he had a national champion, two national champion runner-ups, and three

other all-Americans,” Fangman said.

Ziraldo is survived by his mother, Yvette, many siblings and cousins and his two sons, Vincent and Arturo, according to his obituary.

“He taught me to never give up in athletics. He would always say, ‘Never give up and never give in,’” said junior thrower at UIndy Vincent Ziraldo.“In life, he taught me to love God above all else.”

Fangman said that the team will do the best it can do in Ziraldo’s name.

“We aren’t using this in any way as an excuse to do our best, because that should be a given. We won’t let it get us down, either,” Fangman said.“The throwers have to tap into everything they’ve learned from him. We honor him by going out and doing our best.”

Ziraldo, already in the California Track and Field Hall of Fame, will likely be inducted into the UIndy Hall within the next five years, according to Fangman.

“As far as throwing coaches go in the country, he was considered to

be one of the top guys,” Fangman said. “People were shocked when he came here, because he had coached a national champion in every throwing event at Cal.” According to Fangman, Ziraldo was not always the nicest coach, but he sure did leave an impact on his throwers.

“With Coach Z, you were either getting better or you were crying,” Fangman said.

“No matter what, he would never give up on you, as long as you didn’t give up on him,” Vincent said. “He was an awesome coach.”

Vincent noted that he was very grateful for how supportive everyone at UIndy had been to him and his family in the past few months.

“Everyone has been treating me the same mostly, just a lot more supportive,” he said. “A lot of people have reached out to me that I didn’t know personally, but they knew my dad. He never knew a stranger.”

University of Indianapolis Ice Hockey is looking to recruit both men and women. There will be no fees to join.

RSO introduces new ice hockey program

By Reid Lorey STAFF WRITER

The University of Indianapolis Registered Student Organization recently announced the addition of a new RSO, University of Indianapolis Ice Hockey.

Senior sports management and health/ physical education double major Kevin Mason is the president of the organization and junior exercise science major Alex Williams is vice president. UIndy does not currently have a hockey team on the athletic roster.

“I wanted to make an impact on the school by bringing in one of the top four major sports in America to the university,” Mason said.

The organization currently has roughly 21 members on its roster and is looking to expand. Both men and women are encouraged to join. According to Williams, practice will be held at Perry Park Ice Rink. Practices have not officially started yet, but likely will be scheduled on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays at 10 p.m. Currently, the program is looking for people of all experience levels.

“The goal of this organization would be to compete in the American Collegiate Hockey Association,” Mason said. “The ACHA is nation-wide, with roughly 180 teams in Division III, and is a non-intercollegiate and non-NCAA association.”

Schools such as Indiana University, Purdue University, Butler University, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis and Indiana Purdue Fort Wayne all attract students with their ACHA hockey teams according to Mason and Williams.

“This hockey organization would be good for students and the university, because I was undecided where I was going to school and had to choose between UIndy for academics or a different university for hockey, and this would make decisions for people like that a lot easier,” Williams said.

Williams said there are no fees to join the team currently because equipment can be pretty costly for hockey.

“Many clubs require player fees, and I didn’t want to do that, because if we can get people who don’t have equipment just to start by skating on the ice, it could have a really good impact on people willing to participate,” Mason said.

The initial startup will not be full contact games but just getting people out skating and learning the game.

Mason said games will take place later on in the season, when people are consistently practicing and the participants feel comfortable enough.

More information about the new program is available by contacting Mason at greyhoundicehockey@gmail.com.

Homeless college student aspires to earn her degree

By Tony Briscoe CHICAGO TRIBUNE

CHICAGO (TNS)—On a frigid winter morning, Latia Crockett-Holder, 23, emerges from her tent beneath a crumbling overpass in her stocking feet. In the dim viaduct, where the streetlights are out and water drips from melting icicles like stalactites in a cavern, Crockett-Holder pulls two sheets of baby wipes from a box to wash her face. She squirts toothpaste from a small tube directly into her mouth, brushes and spits into the street.

Then Crockett-Holder laces up her boots, slings a book bag over her shoulder and heads off to the No. 148 bus a block away. She has a 10:45 a.m. economics class at MacCormac College in the Loop.

Crockett-Holder is studying criminal justice and dreams of a career in law enforcement.

It’s an unlikely goal for a woman living in the tent city that has sprouted beneath an overpass in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood. For the last five months, she’s lived in an overstuffed tent that she shares with her husband and his stepfather.

Inside the tent, she wears a headlamp to study. She’s been saving money from government assistance in an effort to get into an apartment.

“I could get (more) done in the house and not being in the tent doing homework,” she said. “That’s like the hardest thing ever. You’re bunched up in one tent, and you can’t stay focused. You hear people outside your tent arguing, and you can’t study.”

Young people like Crockett-Holder will be the subject of an upcoming study by the University of Chicago’s Chapin Hall research center. Starting in May, the center plans to conduct a first-of-its-kind count of homeless and runaway young people in more than two dozen communities across the country.

Researchers will attempt to survey homeless people from ages 14 to 24 in urban, suburban and rural communities. The resulting report is expected to produce state and national estimates on the number of homeless young people

Sanchez/Chicago Tribune/TNS) and, hopefully, serve as a boilerplate for future research and policy, according to Bryan Samuels, executive director of Chapin Hall.

“Part of the beauty of doing it for the first time is that we’ll do it, publish it and make it all available to everybody, so everything behind the estimate can serve as a methodology that others can improve upon over time,” Samuels said.

The Chapin Hall initiative deviates from biennial homeless counts mandated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Those counts are carried out in the last week of January, typically the coldest time of year, with the thought that it’s the best time to get an accurate count of homeless people in shelters.

Last year, researchers counted 6,786 people in shelters and on the streets, nearly 2,000 of them 24 and younger, according to a report from Chicago’s Department of Family & Support Services. The HUDrequired counts have “historically focused on adults,” who are more likely to take advantage of shelters and other services during the winter, Samuels said.

Chapin Hall’s Voices of Youth Count will also have a much more sweeping definition of homelessness that will en-

In recent years, social service agencies in major cities have added youth-specific counts. After performing its first supplemental youth-specific count last year, DFSS declined to do one this January in the hope that Chicago would be included in the Chapin Hall count.

Crockett-Holder said she has been homeless for much of her life. After a dispute with her family in west suburban Melrose Park, she bounced between homeless shelters, where often a nightly lottery would determine whether she would have a bed. She eventually settled for sleeping under the viaducts of Uptown, often with nothing more than a pillow and blanket.

That’s where DFSS workers found her during the city’s general homeless count in late January. They pleaded with Crockett-Holder to come to a local shelter, but she refused. She told them she was applying for a two-bedroom apartment she thought she could afford and hoped to be moving in on Feb. 5.

“We try to focus on getting them off the streets on a cold night like this,” said

Lisa Morrison Butler, the department commissioner. “Our homeless outreach teams, they’re out here three days a week checking in with people and offering them shelter again and again and again.

Sometimes they don’t trust us in the beginning. We have to keep coming back and offering them. And, maybe, on the 50th time, they say, ‘Yes.’” The next day, Crockett-Holder headed off to school. She sat in the back row of her sociology class, scrawling in her notebook as professor Joanne Howard engaged students on the topic of poverty.

“We think poverty can be eradicated,” Howard said. “We also think it will not be eradicated in our lifetimes. We’re a little pessimistic in the room.

“But we think that our primary and secondary groups can assist us. What are some of the lessons we learn from them?”

Students came out with a number of answers: “Interaction.” “How to be selfsufficient.” “Emotional development.”

“Dysfunction,” one student said to his classmates’ laughter.

“Well,” Howard continued, smiling, “we can’t learn dysfunction.”

“Motivation,” Crockett-Holder said.

“Motivation is a key thing,” Howard said.

Crockett-Holder interviewed with the manager of the building where she hoped to land an apartment. But the move-in date came and went without a call. After several weeks of waiting, she was still living in her tent, coming to terms with her disappointment.

“It’s in God’s hands,” she said.

In the middle of one of her recent classes, however, Crockett-Holder was surprised by an email from the building manager. Crockett-Holder and her family are moving into an apartment.

On Sunday night, she enjoyed a few final moments with her tent city neighbors, wearing a beaming smile.

“We’re moving off the streets,”she said. ___ (c)2016 Chicago Tribune Visit the Chicago Tribune at www. chicagotribune.com. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Sergeant could be reinstated to Army

Martland had been forced to retire for protecting children

By Tony Pugh MCCLATCHY WASHINGTON BUREAU WASHINGTON (TNS)—Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., wants the Pentagon to stop delaying its decision on the forced retirement of Army Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland, who tried to protect Afghan children from sexual assault by U.S.-backed police commanders while he was stationed in Afghanistan.

Martland, a Special Forces member and two-time Bronze Star recipient, was supposed to be discharged from active duty in November 2015 after he and Army Capt.

Dan Quinn assaulted an Afghanistan police commander in 2011 who allegedly kept a young boy chained to his bed for sexual purposes.

Martland, part of an elite unit from Joint Base Lewis-McChord outside Tacoma, Wash., later wrote to Army officials that the incident was the third time an Afghan police commander had done something morally repugnant during his deployment, according to a report by the Tacoma (Wash.)

News Tribune.

The other incidents involved a teenage girl’s rape by a police commander and another commander’s decision to allow the honor killing of a 12-year-old girl who had kissed a boy.

Quinn and Martland “felt that morally we could no longer stand by and allow our (Afghan local police) to commit atrocities,” Martland wrote in a January 2015 letter to Army Human Resources Command.

A report by The New York Times claimed the Army had a policy of looking the other way on sex assault allegations involving its Afghan allies, even though some of the alleged attacks may have occurred on military bases.

Quinn was relieved of his unit com-

mand after the incident in 2011.

Former Army Secretary John McHugh postponed a decision on Martland’s discharge for 60 days so that Martland could seek reinstatement by appealing his case to the Army Board for Correction of Military Records.

A final decision was expected Tuesday, March 1, but a statement from Lt. Col. Jennifer Johnson, an Army spokeswoman, said the decision was postponed again until May 1 to allow more time to consider Martland’s appeal.

Buchanan, who has championed Martland’s cause, says the military is dragging its feet.

Buchanan wants the House of Representatives to adopt his bipartisan resolution that would immediately reinstate Martland.

Near ly 50 members of Congress support the measure, along with groups like the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Veterans, or AMVETS. “Sgt. Martland stands ready to once again serve his country,” Buchanan said.

“The Pentagon and Congress should do everything in their power to make that happen as soon as possible.”

Buchanan has written a letter to McHugh calling for Martland’s reinstatement. He has also asked Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to reverse the Army policy of ignoring the attacks by U.S. backed Afghan forces.

Buchanan has also asked the House and Senate Armed Services Committees to investigate the policy. ___ (c)2016 McClatchy Washington Bureau Visit the McClatchy Washington Bureau at www.mcclatchydc.com Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
