Students, university handle mold in Crowe

By Kylee Crane EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Schonauer found mildew and mold growing on her possessions in her dorm room in Crowe in September.

In late September, sophomore chemistry major Faith Schonauer began noticing the mildew and mold growth in her Crowe Hall dorm room.

Schonauer had grabbed a basket full of lotions and facial supplies from the top of her armoire. After taking a makeup bag out of the basket, she noticed it had several spots on it. Although she thought it was weird, Schonauer assumed it was makeup residue.

“I went downstairs and started talking to people about it, and my RA was like, ‘We need to go check this out now,’” she said.

Schonauer’s resident assistant and Crowe’s residence director went to her room, and both inspected and agreed it was mold. Schonauer was then given a cleaning product to wipe it down, and her RA scheduled for physical plant personnel to come and clean the room.

“The people from [the] physical plant surprisingly came really fast. They came that day to check it out and clean our room,” she said.

According to Physical Plant Executive Director Pam Fox, mildew growth has been confirmed in Crowe Hall through testing by both the university and outside companies.

“We do know that it is the same kind of mold spores that you find in an everyday environment,” Fox said.“The spores come inside through the air conditioning unit.

If you have the right conditions in your room, they’ll settle on some materials and then start growing.”

The type of spores that were found

are called aspergillus which is a common mold found indoors/outdoors and created from decaying leaves and vegetation, according to Fox. The university placed a brand new roof on Crowe before the fall semester began as one way to lessen the chance of any mildew or mold growth, Fox said.

“We noticed some areas on the roof that we thought water could be getting in, so the executives here at the university decided—since we thought there might be a chance of water—to go ahead and replace it as a preventative measure,” she said.

Fox said they also updated the work order system for cleaning any mildew growth students might find in their dorm rooms.

“When an RD or RA calls us, they can put a ticket right in our system under Housekeeping for this specific cleaning,” Fox said. “The RD will report it, and we get to it that day. We have a product that cleans the type of mildew and mold we have specifically found is growing.”

Schonauer said that after the first cleaning, her room was fine for a while. A few weeks passed, and she noticed growth on her bag again.

Schonauer went through the same procedure again, contacting her RA and placing a physical plant work order.

“One of our RAs showed us what the mold looked like and explained it to us more,” she said. “So after the physical plant came in to clean up the second time, I went around and looked around at our stuff. We ended up still finding spots left all over the room, and so I reported it again.”

After reporting it, Schonauer said her RD came in and personally cleaned where there were spots left. The spots on

the furniture, Schonauer said, were green and “just really gross.”

Physical plant personnel came in a total of three times to clean Schonauer’s room due to the mildew and mold growth, according to Schonauer.

Fox said that there is not much more the university can do in regard to the mildew and mold removal. Educating students on how the spores settle and grow, she said, is the best way to prevent growth.

“It’s not the kind of mold where you need to remove drywall, and it’s not coming in because of a major leak within the building. This is just mildew spores that are everywhere and are landing because of the environment,” she said. “I think the education is working because we just find those isolated cases where the student likes to keep their curtains shut and turn down the air conditioning real low. That’s when you find the ideal conditions.”

The 2016 summer also was humid, Fox said, which also can have an impact on the mold spores’ growth.

After weeks of dealing with the mold growth, Schonauer said she was ready to move out. Her mother visited campus to talk with Residence Life personnel because, according to Schonauer, she was tired of having the growth continue on her belongings and continuously having physical plant employees in and out of the room for cleaning purposes. Schonauer said besides her basket, the mold had grown over time on her trash can, jewelry box, a purse, multiple pairs of shoes, a mirror and parts of the dorm furniture.

Schonauer said she was told she would be reimbursed for damages from the growth in the room.

Thanksgiving is more than just a day off

By Alexis Stella EDITORIAL ASSISTANT Despite the Christmas decorations that are taking over the empty Halloween shelves in every retail store or the continuous Hallmark Christmas movie marathons, there is still one more holiday left: Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving can be easily overshadowed by the chaotic Santa season or the once-a-year shopping extravaganza.

However, it’s much more important than many realize. This holiday is a time to be grateful for what is in your life and to unite with friends, family and just anyone important in your life. Also don’t forget the delicious food.

Thanksgiving is the perfect opportunity to give back to your community by reaching out, to lend others a helping hand. Whether it is volunteering at a local soup kitchen, donating a few dollars to a local charity or just reaching out to a stranger, one act of kindness can make the world a little better. It’s the time to give to those who may need it most and a time to express gratitude for all that we have in our lives.

We occasionally get too wrapped up in our everyday routines and end up taking things for granted. I know I am guilty of this. I get so focused on my own life that I forget some people don’t have the same things I do, like a warm bed to sleep in at night or food to eat every day. Thanksgiving is the time to feel grateful for all the mundane things we are blessed with in

life such as food, transportation, a home, an education and family.

Family is the single most important thing one has in life, whether that family is related to you by blood or someone you met in high school English class.

This season is the time to take a break from whatever you are doing in your life and spend the time with those who are important to you. It’s the season to try out that new cookie recipe you found on Pinterest that you have been dying

to try, or maybe it’s simply the time to break out the cookies you bought at the store because you forgot to add flour to your recipe. Thanksgiving is the season to sit around your rickety, old kitchen table with your crazy friends and family and just appreciate all those who surround you.

Thanksgiving is the time to finally embrace those quirky family traditions that have somehow survived every generation since the Mayflower and the silly traditions, such as when the men watch

football in the living room while the women chit chat and slave away at the stove while watching all the kids play football in the backyard. It’s time to break out the family Jeopardy and the devious game of Pictionary. It’s time to dive into a steaming bowl of mashed potatoes and fresh homemade apple pie. Thanksgiving is simply the time to sit and enjoy the company around you and be thankful for another year that has gone by too soon.

I know some people’s holidays involve

broken families, as does mine, and it can be quite difficult to appease everyone on the big day. This is especially true if everyone lives in different cities or even states.

However, just making the effort to spend time with your loved ones is all anyone can really ask from you, even if it is only an hour. It’s your job to make the most out of that one hour. Plus Thanksgiving is the time to reach out to those who may not have the same support that you do and help make the day special for them as well.

Thanksgiving can mean many things: a time for giving, a time of appreciation, a time of thanks, a time of gratitude and a time for family and friends. The importance of Thanksgiving can vary from person to person, but what is most important about this unforgettable holiday is what it means to you.

For me, Thanksgiving is the time when I can show off my cooking skills with my grandfather and a time when I can crush my brother at family Jeopardy. And it is even the time when I listen to my dad talk about football.

Whatever your reasons may be, Thanksgiving is much more than a preChristmas season or a time to shop till you drop, or even the incredible food.

Thanksgiving is the time to appreciate everyone in your life, both good and bad, because those are the people who ultimately shape you into the person that you are. So when you head home for Thanksgiving weekend, think about all that is in your life and think about just what Thanksgiving means to you.

Say goodbye to Vine Why I’m happy

By Ashlea Alley BUSINESS MANAGER Social media apps are becoming more and more available, but some are coming to an end. Vine is a six second video sharing app. It allows for creative circumstances in just six seconds. I was doing some research to understand why Vine is shutting down when I saw an article titled, “Vine is dead.

Is Twitter next?” I had to laugh.

Of course Twitter is not next. Twitter is adapting. Facebook is adapting. Even our newspapers and radio stations are adapting. That is why they are here today.

Vine originated in 2012 as a way to capture casual moments in life, but it quickly transformed into sharing creative moments instead. While at one time Vine was the top choice of apps, now it’s being shut down due to lack of use and monetary issues. Twitter bought Vine about four months after its launch for a reported $30 million, according to CNN. It wasn’t long after Vine began that Instagram launched new 10-second videos, ultimately starting the decline

of Vine.

So I decided to take a look at why Vine is calling it quits. First of all, Vine didn’t make any drastic changes like Snapchat or Instagram. Vine’s concept was simple, and it stayed simple throughout the entire process. Unlike Vine, Snapchat is successful because it is constantly changing and adapting to what the audience wants. You can send things more personally with your audience on Snapchat through video messaging. The app continues to add filters, news, entertainment and special “live” features that show what is happening across the world in real time. The way I get my news, more than half of the time, is through Snapchat. I get my hard news from my CNN subscription on Snapchat, my entertainment news from People, and I find style advice from Refinery 29. I know I am not the only one who does this.

Freshman psychology major Miranda Weberding said she also finds her news on Snapchat because it’s more convenient.

“It’s easy because when I wake up in the morning, I go through all of my friends’ stories and then watch the discovery pieces like CNN, and a lot of the election cov-

erage,” Weberding said. “It’s easier than turning on my TV to wait when I have it at my fingertips.”

Vine is also incredibly expensive to operate. The New York Times reported that Vine was costing $10 million a month to operate. According to the multimedia site, The Verge, there are potential buyers of the app, but for less than $10 million.

If I had been working for Vine, I would have told them to adapt to the interactive culture of today’s social media. Instagram succeeds at its branding of organizations, celebrities, companies and everyday users.

Snapchat also succeeds with the relational needs of the audience and by providing news sources so the audience is engaged.

I would have collaborated with both Snapchat and Instagram to enhance Vine.

Another way Vine could have succeeded, would have been to add more effects to the video itself, so users could slow down, fast forward, replay or even animate content.

Vine may be dead, but this doesn’t mean the rest of social media will soon follow. So go log onto your account, save your videos and say goodbye to Vine.

the election is over

It’s time to learn from our mistakes and move on

By Maia Gibson EDITORIAL ASSISTANT As for many others, the primary and general elections held this year were the first two I could vote in. At first, I was excited to vote, to finally make my voice heard. I watched debates, researched platforms and read articles from various news sources to be the most informed voter I could be. I also watched my Facebook and Twitter explode with differing opinions and continued scrolling as the debates between friends became less civil. Within a few months, I was tired of hearing about the upcoming election.

That weariness only strengthened as the candidates were finalized and the United States plunged into yet another season of political advertisements and rallies.

When the political ads started circulating over the airwaves, I watched them, interested to see what approach the candidates were taking. Then, I quickly began changing the channel as I grew tired of listening to Todd Young and Evan Bayh attack each other during every commercial break.

The advertisements for the presidential election were even worse. Politifact. com fact-checked the 10 most aired presidential campaign ads. All of them, save for one from the Clinton campaign, contained content found to be exaggerated, only half-true or taken out of context and spun into something else. I realize attack ads are part of politics. However, they did nothing but make me wary of the candidates who were using hate to propel their campaigns. I grew weary early on of Donald Trump’s hateful tirades. I yearned for a break from news coverage of Hillary Clinton’s campaign rallies.The most tiring and frustrating part of the election was the conduct I witnessed from my friends on social media.

For months, I could not scroll through my newsfeed without someone’s political views appearing in a status. With much chagrin, I watched friends “debate” in the comment sections of those posts. Not one nice word was being said on either side.

No one seemed willing to listen to the

views of the other, but instead they were focused on proving that their own were right. Words like “moron” and “stupid” were thrown around, as well as more profane ones. Clinton was frequently referred to as “Hitlery” or “Killary.” I watched as minorities, including Muslims, Hispanics, and African-Americans, were threatened and ridiculed by some.

I watched as liberals were referred to as “Libtards” and profane words were put in front of “conservatives.” I continued reading as people shamed Melania Trump while the Obamas also were dragged into the drama. I watched as people refused to accept or respect the views of anyone else, telling others that they were wrong and crazy for standing by their beliefs. I listened to older generations blame the younger ones for siding with Clinton and the young attack the old for standing in solidarity with Trump. I watched as the racist, homophobic and sexist sides of America were revealed for all the world to see.

I had hoped that things would calm down on Nov. 9. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. I watched as some friendships ended and some familial relationships became strained based on who voted for whom.I watched some Clinton supporters attack Trump supporters using profanity and offensive language. I watched some Trump supporters lord their victory over Clinton supporters. I watched as a nation became divided. I grew even more tired of the hatred and divisiveness of the election season.

I am glad the election is over because I am ready for peace. I am ready for the insults to stop and social media to return to being places of memes, pictures with friends, cooking videos and status updates that are not politically fueled. I am ready for the election not to be at the forefront of the world’s minds so that our nation can heal after another divided and hateful season. I am ready to see unity, like we already have seen from the LGBTQIA community, from those who are standing with women and minorities. I am ready for respect to return and, hopefully, stay.

I am ready to learn from our mistakes and move forward.

Health Pavilion wins award

First ever People’s Choice Award from the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce goes to UIndy’s Health Pavilion, with help of votes from the surrounding community

By Sophie Watson SPORTS EDITOR The University of Indianapolis’ Health Pavilion recently was recognized with the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce’s first People’s Choice Award. UIndy received this award at the Monumental Awards Dinner on Oct. 20.

For the first time, the Chamber of Commerce opened an award for members of the community to vote upon. Voting took place on the chamber’s Facebook page, which featured various architecture from around Indy from which voters could choose.

Along with winning the People’s Choice Award, the pavilion also was nominated for other categories of the annual Monumental Awards, such as architecture and real estate development. UIndy’s renovated Krannert Memorial Library also was nominated for awards including innovative reuse, interior design, architecture and construction.

UIndy competed against buildings such as the YMCA, Schaefer Planetarium and Space Object Theater, Penn Place Apartments and many other establishments in the Indianapolis area.

Dean of the School of Psychological Sciences Anita Thomas said the new space has impacted the entire campus community in a positive way.

“There is innovation in the physical design,” Thomas said. “The openness of the building and the sense of the shared space and the architectural reflection of that really mirrors the second thing, which is sort of the openness and the coming together of all the Health Pavilion’s disciplines and the sort of shared space and the ability of us to connect. It’s also really unique, because it’s both the university and also the private sector space simultaneously. So having the

The Health Pavilion was also nominated for categories in architecture and real estate but was chosen as the winner of the People’s Choice Award on Thursday, Oct. 20.

rehab clinic as part of the university building is kind of unique.”

Thomas also said that the health and science departments have been able to intersect as never before since having this shared space. Specifically, her psychology and other social work students have the ability to come together to discuss the similarities in their fields.

“I think it really has created more

open space and opportunity for us to come across and have conversations with different disciplines in a way we haven’t before,” she said. “So psych and social work have merged and come together. But being in the same place, we’ve been able to talk about similarities in our profession and our work, the clients and the differences in our work. But also, it has provided a lot of opportunities for people to col-

laborate on projects and to sort of share resources. So we’re building new courses; we’re building new certificate programs; we’re doing things that we probably would never be able to do without being in the same space.”

Freshman nursing major Lauren Metallic currently is enrolled in two classes in the Health Pavilion and also uses the pavilion for other activities such as study

groups and lunch. So far, she said, she is impressed with the accommodations that the Health Pavilion has to offer.

“We go over there [the Health Pavilion] to study for anatomy,” Metallic said.

“I also go over there to get food from The Perk.... And it’s [the building is] very technologically advanced, so that’s helpful in my classes. It overall makes the health majors and fields better, because we have better simulations and labs.”

Metallic also said that the pavilion made her much more drawn to UIndy when she was choosing which college to attend last fall.

“My other choice [for college] was Ball State,”she said.“And I went through their labs and through the Health Pavilion, and it was so much better here because it was so much more advanced and new.”

Both Thomas and Metallic agreed that the Health Pavilion gives UIndy students an edge over other students who may not have the advanced technology at their school that the pavilion has.

The innovations to this center have increased the productivity of many health and science majors and given many students a more enriched and hands-on learning experience, Thomas said. The student body is proud of the new renovations that were nominated, along with many other improvement and projects on campus, she said, and this contributed to the pavilion winning the People’s Choice Award.

“UIndy is such a family and a community and is so proud of itself. So I think that contributed a lot,”Thomas said.

“They sent out, I think, two reminders to vote, and I was like, ‘Oh, everyone has already voted.’ Everyone is proud of the campus and proud of the community, and I think that contributed a lot to us getting out and being supported.”

Reuter said there also is not a lot of room for 3D and ceramic projects, and she knows of people whose pieces were broken accidentally because of tight space. She also said there is not a lot of room for paintings to be laid out to dry. She thinks there should be a location for the senior exhibitions put on by the art & design students.

“People’s senior exhibitions always happen in the basement of Schwitzer [Student Center],” Reuter said, “and not a lot of people even know they [the exhibitions] are down there. So I think [there should be] a bigger space for senior exhibitions, because it’s a big deal, and it’s exciting.

And it would be better to have a space so that more of the public knows about it.”

Viewegh said that art & design students cannot do their schoolwork just anywhere on campus.They need certain studio rooms and classrooms. When the art & design department went through its reaccreditation process, Viewegh said, the space was a problem that was cited.

“They [the accreditation reviewers] said that the space was way too small for the number we have as majors and the number of students we serve as non-majors,” Viewegh said. “… A number of our rooms are basically running nonstop with classes from 8 o’clock in the morning to 8 o’clock at night. So it’s not leaving enough open time for people to come work outside of class, too. If somebody takes a lecture class—say they take a history lecture class or English class—they don’t have to go back to the classroom to do the work. They just go wherever. They go to the library to do their work. So they have this new, giant library to go study in, but art students and music students have to go back to their building, to the specialized stations, to do their work.

So if the room never opens, then the people can’t get in to do their work.”

According to Clark, this is not the first time that space has been mentioned as a problem during the reaccreditation process.

“Ideally, we would like to have a new facility that is better equipped so that we won’t be at risk for our accreditation,” Clark said. “Both of our departments have accreditation bodies that we report to, and that’s a factor in terms of what we are able to do. The lack of space and the safety of the space, in terms of hearing, have been things that we have been cited for in the past. Those are important issues.”

Clark said that music majors need practice rooms and with only ten practice rooms, two of which are for piano only, currently there are not enough rooms to accommodate all of the students.

“We need individual rooms for students to do their work and for practicing,” Clark said. “Performance majors are supposed to practice at least three to four hours a day on their primary instrument, and other majors at least two hours a day. They all also have to have specific levels of piano proficiency by their sophomore year. They have to have space with instruments to practice. So when you talk about 100 majors having two instruments that they need to practice, and we have eight practice rooms, you can see there is quite a deficiency.”

Junior music performance major Jacob Markisohn, who plays brass and is in a brass quartet, said that while CDFAC has good utilities, the lack of practice rooms is a frustrating thing to deal with. He said that many times before a rehearsal, he was not able to warm up the muscles in his jaw, which meant he did not play as well as he could. He

also has practiced in the stairwell, which disturbs others, he said.

“For musicians, that’s our time to study on what we’re doing,” Markisohn said.

“That’s our time to improve what we’re going to be doing once we get out of here.

So it’s like you have someone in biology, and you tell them, ‘Have this lab done by next week.’ But you don’t give them any place to do the lab, or the right tools to do the lab, sometimes. It’s tough to be able to meet deadlines in terms of getting things ready for practice, especially when you don’t have a place at school to practice.”

Clark said that besides practice rooms, there is not enough storage space, so many of the music department’s things are stored in the basement of the Schwitzer Student Center. There is also a teaching space in the basement of Warren Hall, and one of the keyboard teaching spaces is in Esch Hall. Clark also said that the classrooms are not large enough or equipped for the instruction that is needed and that the performance hall is limiting as well.

“We’re restricted regarding the types of events we can bring in because our hall will only seat about 500 people,” she said. “For example, the event we had Monday night [Nov. 7], there were just under 600 people here. So what do you do with that? If we had a bigger space, it could be a revenue generator for the university as well.”

According to the Vision 2030 plan, which was started in 2012, the university’s art programs, including art & design, music and theatre, have “grown in enrollment and outgrown their campus homes, and there is need for newly configured studio, shop, classroom and recital space.”

President Robert Manuel said that now that several spaces on campus have been updated and renovated, the space situation

needs to be addressed all across the board.

“We are now in the process of decompressing,” he said.“Now that everybody has moved into the Health Pavilion, that has created space and opportunities in Good Hall, created space and opportunities in the science center, Martin and Lilly Halls, which we just finished renovating this year.

And so the conversation is, ‘What’s next?’

Buildings like that [the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center] need philanthropic support, so we need our alumni, our faculty, our staff and our community members and corporations to help us invest in that space. There have been a couple of plans put in place to think about moving the arts out and then pushing back over to the rest of the building. But we’re not at a place where we have the philanthropic dollars to invest in the space. So we have to figure and be creative about how we can use the space together.”

One idea proposed by Viewegh, which Manuel would like to see happen, is to move the art & design department to the Physical Plant’s space, but the process of raising money to do so takes a lot of creativity and time, Manuel said.

“The micro-vision for what the departments need and want is the first thing you have to create,” Manuel said. “… What do the faculty need? What does Brenda [Clark] need? What does Jim [Viewegh] need? Then how do you articulate that in a way that would get donors excited about giving money to them. That could be anywhere from a $5 [million] or $6 million investment to a $30 million investment. Then you take that and match it to your capacity of what you are able to raise and whether or not you can make those extensions. There are different ways to do that. It’s harder with academic buildings than it is with residence build-

ings, because there is room and board that comes to pay that in some ways. If you are not going to have philanthropic dollars pay for it, you are going to have to think about where those dollars come from…. I don’t know whether they [currently enrolled students] would see a new building. If I had the money in hand right now, it would take two years to design and build. It took us four years to raise $45 million. So it depends how quickly the philanthropy and movement goes along…. It’s not an either/or … that any space problem or issue that exists is something we would put into a set of plans to resolve, but there are intermediary steps to be creative with how we manage the interim time.”

Viewegh said that funding needs to be secured to move the process along, but the art & design department does not need much in terms of how the building looks.

“I think the bottom line is, we just need to find a way to secure a donation or secure some kind of funding that would allow art & design to get out of Christel DeHaan, so music can take it over. And the kind of structure we need is really cheap,” Viewegh said. “We don’t need anything that looks nice. Basically, we don’t need a Health Pavilion. So there are construction techniques out there that are very inexpensive and don’t look as nice on the inside as your Christel DeHaan and Health Pavilion. That would work perfectly for us.”

Clark said that they are willing to wait, but she hopes that the space and the two departments will be taken care of soon.

“We are very patient,” she said. “We realize that space renovation, or new space, takes money. But we would like to be at the top of the list for the next Vision 2030 project.”

Women’s basketball starts its season 3-1

By Darion Hutchinson STAFF WRITER The University of Indianapolis women’s basketball team started off its season with a 3-1 record, its best since its 2013-14 season. Last week, the team traveled to Ohio to battle the Tiffin University Dragons on Nov. 16 and Ashland University Eagles on Nov. 19.

On Wednesday, the team battled Tiffin University in their first away match of the 2016-17 season.To start off the game, the team scored 10 points and did not allow a single point from the Dragons. Later in the first, Tiffin fired back with a 13-2 run at the end of the quarter. Moving into the second quarter, the lead continued to flip between the teams until UIndy took the lead going into halftime.

The Hounds kept their lead for the remainder of the game and was extended to double digits when senior forward Nicole Anderson scored in the fourth quarter. The team wrapped up the game with a 67-55 win.

On Saturday, the team suffered its first loss of the regular season against the fifth-ranked Eagles. The Eagles took the quick lead 9-0 in the first 1:36 before junior guard Martha Burse scored the Hounds first points. The Hounds racked up a few more points to close up the Eagles’ lead and finished the quarter 23-19. UIndy stayed close to Ashland for the remainder of the half. Senior forward Nicole Anderson scored with 5:22 left in the second, taking the score to 29-27.

The Eagles made a 13-4 run and ended the half with a 24-31 lead.

In the second half, the Eagles continued to advance their lead, which reached up to 24 points. The Hounds took home their first loss, 88-66. Burse reached double-digit scoring for the fourth game in a row, scoring 14 points. Junior guard Sydney Brackemyre led the Hounds in scoring, with a career high of 26 points.

The team began its season the previous weekend when it hosted the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Conference/Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament Nov.

Volleyball season ends to Rockhurst

By Sophie Watson SPORTS EDITOR The University of Indianapolis volleyball team ended its season with a loss to Rockhurst University in its first game of the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship Tournament. UIndy ended its season with a record of 15-16 overall.

In the first set, the Hawks took the early 10-3 lead over the Hounds. UIndy fought back in the middle of the match to improve their score 13-15, but it was not enough, and the Hawks won the set 25-20.

In the second set, the Hounds led with the first two points until the Hawks took a 3-6 lead. For the remainder of the set, there were 11 ties and seven lead changes, until the Hawks finished with another win over the Hounds, 22-25.

The Hounds played their closest set of the game and brought the score within one point at 24-23. Rockhurst made a kill, scoring the last point and taking the game 23-25.

The previous weekend, the team went 1-1 with a loss to the Lewis University Flyers and a win against the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Rangers.

The Greyhounds lost in three sets to the 15th ranked Flyers. The Flyers grabbed the lead at the beginning of the game, scoring 12-2. The Hounds had their worst hitting percentage of the year and gave up a double-digit lead to end the set. The next two sets proved to be consistent with the first, and Lewis took the 3-0 win.

The next day, the Greyhounds picked up the win against the Rangers in four sets. To begin the game, the Rangers sustained a lead over the Hounds for the duration of the first set and eventually won the set 25-20.

After much struggle from Parkside and multiple lead changes, the Hounds pulled out the win 27-25 in the second set. The Rangers led at match point, but a service error brought the score even at 24.To finish out the match, junior outside hitter Kacee Salyers made a kill, and senior middle blocker Shelby Ruffner followed with a block.

Moving into the third, Ruffner made 5 kills and sophomore setter Maggie Gibson contributed with 13 assists. UIndy finished in the fourth with another score of 27-25, after senior outside hitter middle

blocker Becca Lira made a kill to seal the game. She finished the game with 11 kills following Ruffner’s 14 and Salyers’ 12.

Sophomore middle blocker Katie Voelz said that despite the unfavorable outcomes earlier in the season, all that matters is the end of the season leading into the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship Tournament.

“I think we probably want a better record. It just all comes down to how we play at the end of the season. So if we just keep winning, our record doesn’t matter as long as we keep winning.”

Head Volleyball Coach Jason Reed agreed that the team has not had the best record but still has room to make the rest of the season successful.

“We wish we could have a couple matches back,” Reed said. “Obviously, we can’t go back in time and change that. But right now, we’ve got to focus on taking care of business this weekend. And then there are still a few goals we can achieve.

And so we have those in terms of getting to the conference tournament, winning the conference tournament, making the NCAA tournament. So there are still some things ahead of us, and we’re still motivated to do those things.”

Voelz said the team just needs to come together in these next games to finish the season strong.

“I go into every match just playing for my teammates, playing for the program, just trying to remember this is an opportunity for me to be a student athlete and do my job the best that I can for my teammates. And I think if every individual on the team does that, we’re going to win.”

Reed said the team has dealt with a lot of adversity, many consisting of injuries and internal conflict throughout the year. Despite these struggles, he said he believes it has only brought the team closer together.

“We’ve dealt with a pretty fair amount of adversity this season, so kind of staying together through all that is an accomplishment in and of itself. We’ve continually had to find new ways to be successful, and so these are some of the things that don’t go in stats or records or any of those things.

But we’ve really dealt with a lot this year, and we’re still going forward, and that’s really impressive. No, we don’t have the record we want, and we don’t have some of these thing we want, but I think some of the things we’ve gone through probably would’ve broken a lot of other teams, but it’s kind of brought us together.”

11-13. The team had the opportunity to play the University of Findlay Oilers and the Walsh University Cavaliers during the weekend.

The Hounds battled the Oilers on Nov. 11 in their first game of the tournament.

UIndy took the lead the first half with a score of 35-24 going into the break.

After the halftime break, UIndy took an even bigger lead, getting 19 points over the Oilers with two minutes left in the third quarter.The Oilers pushed back and

brought the Hound’s lead down to eight points multiple times throughout the fourth quarter. To take the double-digit lead back, sophomore guard Jordan Cole and junior guard Sarah Costello scored the last few buckets of the game, making the final score 70-59.

The Greyhounds faced the Walsh University Cavaliers in their second game of the tournament on Nov. 13.

Burse contributed eight points in the first 10 minutes of the game. Costello

and junior guard Devin Ferguson hit back-to-back three-pointers, sending the Greyhounds to a 20-14 lead. To end the half, Walsh went on a 9-3 run that took UIndy into halftime with a 29-24 lead.

After battle from both teams, Burse put the Greyhounds on top with a buzzerbeating layup that put the score at 42-40.

Going into the fourth quarter the Hounds were up two, and Burse scored three buckets to put the lead at 46-43 with eight minutes left in the game. In the final seconds, Burse was fouled and was able to score on both of her free throws. Brackemyre blocked the ball in the final seconds, giving the Greyhounds the second win of the season.

Costello commented on breaking her record and said she hopes to continue the success.

“It’s nice because everyone is looking for me and getting me the ball,” Costello said. “I just have to continue to knock down shots.”

Head Women’s Basketball Coach Kristin Drabyn gained her first wins as head coach in the tournament.

“It was really exciting,” Drabyn said.

“I was so happy for the girls. They have been working so hard… I think the biggest difference [from last year to now] is that we are a team.The coaches and players are a team and work together for a common goal. We still have a lot to work on.... But if they come with that energy and effort, we are going to be able to accomplish a lot.”

The Greyhounds will be on the road this weekend, starting with a game against St. Edwards University in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Nov. 25 at 1p.m.

Football ends season with winning record

By Melvin Mendez EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

The University of Indianapolis football team finished with a winning season after defeating Saint Joseph’s College 21-16 on Saturday, Nov. 12.

Following the win, Head Football Coach Bob Bartolomeo explained that the win was the result of the team playing hard and giving its all until the end of the game.

“It was a total team effort. I thought that our kids showed a lot of resiliency, played hard for 60 minutes, and that’s what we talked about,” Bartolomeo said. “We knew it was going to be a slobberknocker.

We knew it was going to be a fourth quarter game. I’m very proud of our effort.”

UIndy was able to open the scoreboard after a 59-yard rush from redshirt junior running back Andrew Walker and a successful extra point from redshirt junior kicker Brad Schickel, bringing the Hounds up 7-0 with 8:35 on the clock.

The Greyhounds kept the lead for a short time after the Pumas tied the game with 5:20 on the clock. The team ended the first quarter 7-7.

The only points in the second quar-

ter came from the Hounds following a 39-yard touchdown pass from redshirt freshman quarterback Bryce Stancombe to sophomore wide receiver Malik Higgins and a kick from Schickel.

Following his catch, Higgins felt the energy of the game go for the Hounds.

“It was just a big play that we needed,”he said. “And I was just glad that I could spark the offense and help us out in the end.”

UIndy also took control in the third quarter, continuing to keep Saint Joe at seven. A 3-yard pass from Stancombe to junior tight end and halfback Alex Kimack in the third quarter and Schickel’s third successful P.A.T. of the night left the game 27-7 going into the final quarter.

The game ended 21-16 after nine Puma points in the fourth quarter, ending the Hound’s season with a 6-5 record.

Higgins said that after a tough game, everything came together to give the seniors a winning season.

“It was just a hard fight today, and we pulled it out,” Higgins said. “I’m glad we could do it for the seniors. I’m thankful for everything they’ve done for us this year. It really just showed tonight that we came out as a team and fought till the end.”

The seniors were a main part of the suc-

cessful season, according to Bartolomeo.

“Our seniors set the tone for the season,” he said. “We could have folded. We were 1-4 or something, and we could have called it quits, but our seniors wouldn’t let us, and that says a lot about our senior leadership and the resiliency in this football program. This programs built on toughness, and I think we’ve showed it here this year.”

According to Higgins, improvement throughout the season showed how strong the team is and how necessary it is to work hard to replace the seniors for next season.

“It’s been hard-fought. We were young and immature, and I thought we grew a lot as a team,” Higgins said. “These juniors, sophomores and everybody that’s coming back are going to have some big shoes to fill for the seniors next year. We’re going to have to come back and go to work.”

At the season’s end, Bartolomeo sees a positive future for the team next season.

“Keep coming back to see us. We’ll be back,” he said. “We had one senior on offense, so we should be better there, defensively we have a bunch of great players to replace, so we have work cut out for us on defense. We have enough coming back to where we can be competitive in the future.”

Men’s basketball hosts tournament

By Erik Cliburn EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

The University of Indianapolis men’s basketball team started their season with a 1-3 record. Last week, the men battled Lake Superior State and Hillsdale College, after their season opening tournament the previous weekend.

The men traveled to Salt Lake City, Mo. on Thursday to battle the Lakers but ended the game in a 107-116 loss. Lake Superior was ahead for most of the game, going into the half at 54-41. The Hounds were down 95-74 with seven minutes left to play in the fourth quarter, when they made a failed attempt at a last minute comeback. The Hounds made a 19-2 run, with threes from freshman guard Tate Hall, redshirt junior Alex Etherington and redshirt junior Ajay Lawton.The rally was not enough to take the lead from the Lakers, and the Hounds were sent home with a loss. Despite the loss, both junior guard Eric Davidson and sophomore forward Jesse Kempson reached new career highs of 35 and 28 points.

On Saturday, the team participated in another away game at Hillsdale College and suffered the second loss of the weekend. Junior forward Roderick Davis scored the first basket of the game with a layup in the first 30 seconds. Soon after, the Chargers took the lead that they would sustain for the remainder of the game.

Hillsdale lead as much as 21 points in the second half, and the Hounds ended with a 70-89 loss.

The team began its season by hosting the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference/Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament Challenge. The team finished the tournament with a loss against the Ashland University Eagles but gained momentum with a win in its second game against the Lake Erie College Storm.

The Nov. 12 game against the Eagles proved to be a back-and-forth game for much of the first half, with the Eagles leading 31-30 going into the halftime break.

In the second half, the Greyhounds made a run to take a 12-point lead. However, the Eagles made also made a run in the

last 10 minutes and ultimately came back, beating the Greyhounds 70-64.

Junior guard D.J. Davis led the way for the Greyhounds in terms of scoring, with 16 points. Kempson also recorded 15 points on 6-13 shooting, as well as two blocks. He said he was disappointed about the loss but looking forward to the second game the following day.

“We’re all disappointed, but I feel like we all just need to take a look inside,” Kempson said. “We can’t get too down, we’ve got a game tomorrow.We’ve got [to] have amnesia, just forget about that. We have an opportunity to make a statement tomorrow to show that we’re better than we were today.”

According to Kempson, the Greyhounds underestimated the Eagles, hoping to come in and grab an easy win.

Kempson said his hopes and goals for the rest of the season remained high and that he would love to come back and win a national championship.

“We’ve got the talent, we just haven’t put it together yet,” Kempson said. “We have a lot of new guys, and we have an opportunity to do that [win a national championship], but we’ve got to come to practice every day ready to go.”

Head Coach Stan Gouard was very disappointed with the Greyhound’s performance following the loss to the Eagles.

“I’m not happy about losing,” he said.

“I’m not happy with the way we played.

I’m not happy the way we executed. A lot of things didn’t go our way tonight, and we showed no fight. We didn’t do anything well tonight. We were breathing, that’s it.

We did everything that you could possibly do bad. We did it wrong.”

The next day, the Hounds pulled out an 81-73 win against Lake Erie. For the second night in a row, Davis scored 16 points in the Greyhounds’ victory, while also recording two steals and two assists.

Four other players recorded double-digit scoring totals: sophomore guard Jimmy King with 13 points and three assists; Hall with 12 points and a block; Davidson with 11 points; Davis with 10 points.

The Greyhounds’ next game will be on Nov. 26 against Kentucky State University.

The game will take place in Frankfort, Ky,. beginning at 3 p.m.

What does this election mea

Clinton voters speak out Mary-Anne Schneider, junior

history education major

“I voted for Clinton just because I was staunchly against Trump. So I just thought that she was a better option, and I didn’t want to throw my vote to a third party [candidate]. And I think that’s a big issue too, in a lot of the states that it was closer, the margin of error was like Gary Johnson’s vote. I mean if he hadn’t been there maybe she could have won more states.”

Joe Fields, sophomore professional writing major “She has the bureaucratic experience, and we need her to lead the country in this tough time. Not only that but the economy is a downward stance but it’s getting better. I think with all of the rhetoric Trump was putting out, it was igniting the country.... Trump was playing off the fears of America, using Islamophobia, homophobia. He was using every term in the book”

Stephen Cox, junior theatre major “I’m very discouraged by it [the outcome of the election].... I come from a family of immigrants, so I’m terrified with immigration policy that may come up. I come from a lower economic status with my family, so I am covered by Obamacare.

The idea of that being repealed within the Trump administration also frightens me.

So I guess my one emotion that really has come out of this is fear. I’m just very frightful of it.”

3rd party voter speaks out

Sarah King, sophomore political

science major

“I voted for Evan McCullen ... because I really wanted to participate in the election, but I didn’t feel confident voting for either of the major party candidates....

Neither of them support or share my most important values politically. And I also don’t have any trust in either of them.…. The more well-known third party candidates I’m not a huge fan of.”

By Jessica Hoover NEWS EDITOR Donald Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States on Nov. 8, after defeating Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. He is scheduled to take office on Jan. 20, 2017.While some United States citizens protests and others rejoiced, some simply asked,“What does this mean for the future of America?”

Trump laid out a 100-day plan in October called “Donald Trump’s Contract with the American Voter.” In it, he briefly explains his plans for repealing the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare, funding the construction of the wall, encouraging infrastructure investment, rebuilding military bases and more, according to an article published on the National Public Radio’s website.

Agreeing with Trump, Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell (Republican) said that repealing Obamacare is a “pretty high item on our [Congress’] agenda.” Assistant Professor of Political Science David Root said that he thinks Obamacare is mostly going to be gutted, with only a few provisions kept the same.

“Two of the main provisions that seem like they will be sticking around are previous coverage for those with preexisting conditions and coverage for people to stay on their parents’ plans until they are 26,” Root said. “Trump has said that he likes both of those provisions. The real question is going to be, ‘How do we pay for this?’ Rather than the individual mandate, which is what Obama did, I believe Trump is going to try to erase state lines, as far as insurance coverage. Instead of the government forcing people to get health insurance, I think he’s banking on the market lowering premiums to a reasonable amount [so] that people [will] want to get health insurance just because it makes financial sense.”

The construction of the wall along the border between Mexico and the United States was a focus of Trump’s campaign.

According to NPR’s website, he created the “End Illegal Immigration Act” to construct the wall with full reimbursement from Mexico. The act also creates a two-year minimum prison sentence for re-entering the U.S. illegally and a five-year minimum for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanors or two previous deportations.

“He has said that he’s going to deport any illegal aliens that have been convicted of committing crimes, which amounts to about 3 million people,” Root said.

“After that, I think he has said that he’s going to take a wait-and-see approach, which means that deportations will probably be slower in coming.”

Root also said that he could see Trump building the wall through an executive order. That way Congress will not get a say in the matter.

“Once it [the wall] is built and is in operation, you kind of backdoor Congress into forcing them to go along with it,” Root said. “Because you’ll be like, ‘Look, the wall is built. It’s working. What do you want to do? Tear it down?’ And Congress does not want to touch immigration. They haven’t wanted to touch immigration for 50 years. Neither party wants to do anything with it. They prefer the broken

system. It gives them something to rail against, and they’re not on the vote for anything that happens.”

Junior political science major and Indianapolis Student Government President Jason Marshall said that the rhetoric

“I think that in hindsight choosing Mike Pence was a stroke of genius on [the] part of Donald Trump,” Fuller said.

“Because it shored up what could have been a real problem for him with social conservatives and Evangelical Christians.

And by getting Mike Pence on there, he [Trump] gets their support.… Here’s this kind of morally corrupt fellow, and how are you going to get Evangelical Christians to vote for [him]? Some go and hold their nose and do it, but to get them out, you have to have Mike Pence out there saying, ‘I don’t agree with the things he said. We’ve got to hold him to account.’ So when he [Pence] does that I think it shores up that side of his [Trump’s] constituency, his base, which is really important.”

On the other side was Democratic presidential-candidate Hillary Clinton and her running-mate Tim Kaine. Kaine practiced law for 17 years in Virginia and was a professor at the University of Richmond School of Law. Kaine occupied various positions in Virginia’s state government and a position in the federal government as he has served as Richmond’s Mayor, Lieutenant Governor,

Governor and a U.S. Senator.

Fuller does not necessarily think that Kaine hurt Clinton’s campaign, but he thinks she might have had a better result in votes if she had chosen someone else.

“I think that Tim Kaine was probably a mistake,” Fuller said, “one of many on the part of the Clinton campaign, or the Democratic campaign. And I think that would be that he was not someone who was going to help you excite portions of the so-called Obama coalition, which included various minority groups and millennials. He was just bland and boring, to be honest. Some have said, ‘Well, he helped shore up Virginia,’ and Virginia was fairly close in this election. But I don’t think Virginia was nearly as important— as we can see in hindsight—as some other states.... As we continue to analyze over the coming weeks and months, looking at how that campaign turned that might be another mistake we look at.”

Just as some Americans may be wondering what President Trump will be for America, others may be wondering about Vice President Pence. Fuller said that Pence, unless given a specific job by the president, will have the same responsibility

as the rest of the vice presidents in history, which is to wait to assume the president’s position if the president should die or be impeached.

“As vice president I don’t anticipate [Pence] having that much of a role, but he does seem to have an important role right now which is being in charge of this transition team. So he’s helping Trump organize that and make choices about who will be on his staff and who will be on his cabinet and that kind of thing, so there could be a real influence there,”Fuller said.

Unless Trump specifically gives Pence a project to work on, Fuller thinks Pence will have little influence on the government.

“We don’t know, going forward, [but] I would suspect that Pence’s role is [for] right now and then he will just sort of fade away unless we see, as in the past where [in] several presidencies [the Vice President] is given a task…. Events always shape presidencies,”Fuller said.“We don’t know what will happen in the next year, but if Trump is focused on an economic agenda, maybe he gives Pence something to do with social stuff, or maybe Pence is a part of that domestic stuff. It will be interesting to see.”

The possible role of vice president-elect Pence Text

By Madison Hays ONLINE EDITOR

Now that the election is over, Americans are learning about the new politicians elected to represent them.While everyone heard so much more about and from the presidential candidates, the vice presidential candidates receive less attention.

Along with Republican and Presidentelect Donald Trump, the American people also elected Mike Pence as the next vice president. Pence is a former Indiana Governor serving from 2013 to 2017. He served in the U.S. House of Representatives representing Hoosiers for 10 years from 2000 to 2010. A bornand-raised Hoosier from Columbus, Ind., Pence is known to be a conservative, both economically and socially, according an article published in the Indianapolis Star.

Presidential candidates often choose their running mates to sway voters who are on the fence.

History and Political Science Professor James Fuller believes choosing Pence as a running mate helped Trump’s chance of winning voters.

Indiana glows red after Republican US Senate, state executive race results

By Zoë Berg FEATURE EDITOR The Indiana senate race concluded with Todd Young (Republican) 10 points ahead of Evan Bayh (Democrat). Although Bayh started out with a lead in the polls, his numbers declined until he and Young were close in the polls. According to Assistant Professor of Political Science Laura Albright, because of this, Young’s win was not surprising.

“He [Bayh] was very popular at that point [after the Republican National Convention], but his popularity continually declined,”Albright said.“It was always going downhill from there.The campaign had a lot of issues in terms of a condo that he owns but probably does not live at in the state of Indiana.They never addressed that well. They also had the problem that he left Congress to become a lobbyist....

So a lot of holes, popularity consistently went down, and ... Todd Young was going up at the same time.”

Albright said that it was only a matter of time before their numbers intersected.

She said pollsters thought it was going to be a competitive race, and had the election taken place in October, Bayh would have had a greater chance. Young takes office on Jan. 20, 2017 and takes over for incumbent Dan Coats (Republican) who has held the position since 2011.

“I imagine he [Young] would want to follow Coats’ legacy, in terms of things he’s done,” Albright said.

Albright said Young emphasized overturning the Affordable Care Act and supported Second Amendment gun rights, two things that resonated with Indiana voters. She said Hoosiers will probably have to wait and see, because Young did not go into much depth about policy.

“He consistently referred to conservatism without getting to [the] policy specifics,” Albright said.

With Young holding Coats’ seat, Indiana continues to have both a Republican and a Democratic senator. All of the U.S. House of Representative seats for Indiana were open this year, and Republicans still hold seven of the nine seats.

Other statewide Indiana races were the race for the attorney general and the

superintendent of public instruction.

Both offices directly serve Indiana at a state level.

Curtis Hill (Republican) beat Lorenzo Arredondo (Democrat) by 24 points for the position of attorney general. Albright said that the race for attorney general was straightforward, and the outcome was not surprising.

As for the superintendent of public instruction, Jennifer McCormick (Republican) beat the incumbent Glenda Ritz (Democrat). Ritz was the only Democrat at the executive level in Indiana and had had past conflicts with Governor Mike Pence (Republican) in the past. According to Albright, Pence and other Republicans at the executive level had wanted to remove the power of the superintendent of public instruction and make it an appointed position. Albright said this was an interesting race to watch because of the fact that Ritz was an incumbent and they are usually reelected.

The Indiana General Assembly, Indiana’s legislative branch, consists of a House of Representatives and a Senate, both of which continue to be controlled by the

Republicans’after this election. According to ballotpedia.org, Republicans control 41 of the 50 Senate seats, gaining one seat in the election, and 70 of the 100 House seats, losing one seat in the election.

Albright said Republicans at the state level probably benefited from straightticket voting, or voting for all candidates from the same party Republicans. Albright said it can be difficult for state and local candidates during a presidential election year because they are affected by the presidential candidate from their party.

“If you’re a good candidate from the opposite party ... you’re unfairly disadvantaged and unfairly punished. Likewise if you’re a candidate from the same political party, it can help you. I think there was an incredible amount of straight-ticket voting, which is fascinating, because we’re not a state that typically does that. But it’s clear, based on the way the electoral outcomes came in, a lot of Republicans not only won, but they won handily. So that tells you a lot about the party infrastructure, the party unity and how well the message obviously resonated with Hoosier voters.”

an for the next four years? to someone yesterday, and they have an Islamic friend who’s overseas, just traveling. And they’re not coming back to the United States just because they’re scared.

I hope that a lot of what was said on the campaign was just rhetoric to get a lot of votes…. I personally think that a lot of it was campaign rhetoric, but I completely understand minority groups being afraid for their culture, for the progress we’ve made to be accepting of them.”

Root said another thing that Trump would like to do is to get manufacturing jobs back in the country, but Root is not sure that that is feasible, since the United States has a service-based Header and Cartoon by Jenna Krall economy. He said Trump will try to create jobs, most used in Trump’s campaign is to blame for some of the backlash in the Hispanic likely by cutting regulation and renegocommunity and other minority groups tiating trade deals so that they are more favorable for United States workers. after Trump was elected.

The majority in both the House of “Minorities are scared,” Marshall said.

“There’s no doubt about it. I was talking Representatives and the Senate are Re-

publican. Marshall said that this should prevent gridlock in the coming years.

“Now, there are certain people that would rather see the gridlock, “ Marshall said, “To stop some stuff that’s going through. I think you’ll see a lot more flow in D.C. just because it’s all Republicancontrolled.”

Trump’s potential appointments to the Supreme Court are another large topic of discussion. Root predicted that Trump’s first appointment will most likely be conservative since Trump campaigned strongly for that. Root said that also would give Trump a chance to please his conservative base, so that later on he would be free to make more liberal decisions.

“One of the names that I’ve heard tossed around for the Court is Ted Cruz, which makes a lot of sense by Trump,” Root said. “Ted Cruz is probably one of Trump’s biggest primary challengers in 2020. And it’s an old move. FDR did this with Justice Black. It’s an old move that you take your most likely political competitor and just stick them on the [Supreme] Court.”

Root said that usually candidates start out in the primaries as either far right or far left, then they make a change in the

general election, so that they are more moderate to gain more votes. However, Trump never made the change to more moderate during the general election.

According to Root, Trump knew what he had to say in order to gain popularity among voters. Root said that Trump will make the change to more moderate during his presidency and that he is already much more restrained and moderate.

ISG President Marshall said that he has some advice for the future president of the United States.

“I would tell Trump that ‘You’re not going to get everything that you want.’”

Marshall said. “… I think the biggest thing is to compromise. That way, all parties are happy. You’re not going to please everybody, which most people realize that.

You’ve just got to be accepting, whether you agree with it or disagree with it. And try to help them [the other side] as best as you can even if you disagree with what they’re trying to do. The biggest thing is everybody is only trying to do what they think is best for themselves and for their country. Democrats aren’t trying to hurt the country. Republicans aren’t trying to hurt the country. They’re doing what they think is best to help the country.”

These voters make up about 40 percent of the over all electorate, giving Trump a solid base. According to the same poll, Trump received 49 percent of the votes from college-educated white voters.

Overall, men were primarily responsible for Trump’s win.

The poll also found that, 54 percent of women voted for Clinton, while only 42 percent voted for Trump. Men voted for Trump 53 percent to Clinton’s 41 percent, and 37 percent of respondents said that Trump was qualified to be president, while 61 percent said that he was not.

Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States on Nov. 8, 2016. As votes came in, the race proved to be very close. Trump was securing all the states he needed: Texas, Florida, Ohio, even Pennsylvania and his opponent’s former home state of Arkansas.

Around 3 a.m., the next day, after receiving a phone call from Clinton in which she conceded from the race,Trump stepped out on stage in front of his supports and accepted his new position.

With the polling data being wrong, voters wondered how Trump secured the presidency especially when Clinton

won the popular vote by 668,171 votes.

However, the popular vote does not elect the president, the electorial college does.

According to CNN’s exit poll, an estimated two-thirds of the population who earn more than $50,000 dollars a year voted for Trump. An article in The New Yorker magazine stated that because there are more of these voters, their numbers were enough to give Trump the victory.

Another factor could be the number of votes for a third party candidate. Six point nine million voters chose not to vote for either the Republican or Democratic nominee because they were dissatisfied with their choice of candidates, according to an article by National Public Radio.

Ultimately, the main reason Trump gained the presidential victory was because he won significantly the states with white, working-class voters in the Midwest and Pennsylvania that originally belonged to Clinton, according to that NPR article.

Associate Professor of Communication Darryl Clark said he thought the outrageous things Trump said during the race helped him gain more media attention.

“I think there’s no doubt about that the outrageous things he said helped him to get more media attention,” Clark said.

“Especially in the primaries when there were 16 different people running for the GOP nomination. It was really hard to be heard, except for Donald Trump.

Most everything he said was aired. And because it was mostly outrageous stuff, people were attracted to it, and it shot the ratings up, which gave the networks an incentive to disproportionately air more Donald Trump.”

Another factor Clark thinks may have influenced the election is the way Americans consume media.

“I think another thing that we really should look at is consumer behavior, how people are consuming media,” Clark said.

“How many people are getting their media from Facebook? There have been some stories written about [the] inaccurate stories that blew up on Facebook—one that said the Pope endorsed Donald Trump.… And also [there are] people engaging in confirmation bias. Going to media sources, or listening to friends on Facebook, hiding the friends that upset them by their political views.”

How Trump won and the role of the media

By Chelsea Faulk OPINION EDITOR

President-Elect Donald Trump stood in front of Trump Tower and formally announced that he would be running for president of the United States, claiming he would “make America great again” on June 16, 2015.

Trump’s favored statements were about issues of immigration and border security, more specifically his proposal to deport all illegal immigrants, build a wall on the border between the United States and Mexico, at Mexico’s expense, and to temporarily ban foreign Muslims from entering the United States, which he later modified to only those originating from countries with a history of terrorism against the United States or its allies.

The New Yorker magazine reported that despite the lack in organization of his campaign, Trump’s base of white, working-class voters turned out in large numbers on Election Day. According to CNN exit polls, Trump carried white voters who do not have a college degree 67 percent to Hillary Clinton’s 28 percent.

“It was a really hard decision, I didn’t necessarily want to vote for him, but I did a lot of research on things that he agrees with verses things that Hillary Clinton agrees with and the things that I agree with, I just agree with him more than I agree with her.... I would much rather have someone that is straightforward and hurts my feelings than somebody that’s lying behind my back.”

Kevin Buetow, senior information

systems and applied business analytics major

“I voted for Donald because I’m tired of the current D.C., Washington elitist kind of personalities that you see. And the fact that D.C. has moved into implementing legislation for minorities that essentially caused the majority to follow. I also feel that the current administration and that party has done a lot of unconstitutional things. And I feel that Donald Trump has a better understanding of the constitution and is more apt to follow it.”

Rachel Stevens, freshman nursing major

“I went to a Trump rally when he came to where I was from and with how he was speaking. I feel like he’s got a lot of younger people involved and everyone really into politics and seeing things from a different point of view because he’s not a politician. And I really like that.”

Holcomb to be Indiana’s 51st governor

By Erik Cliburn EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Graphic by Zoë Berg and Darion Hutchinson

With the presidential election receiving so much media coverage, it is often easy to forget about state gubernatorial elections, which usually have considerable impact on the citizens of each state. In Indiana, Eric Holcomb (Republican) was elected the new governor of Indiana by a shockingly wide margin of votes against John Gregg (Democrat), according to Assistant Professor of Political Science Laura Albright. Holcomb has served as Mike Pence’s lieutenant governor since March 2, 2016, having never been elected to public office until his recent win for governorship. Although Holcomb is a relative newcomer to elected office, he has work closely with both of Indiana’s two previous governors, Mitch Daniels and Pence, before being appointed as lieutenant governor.

Just as many national polls predicted a Hillary Clinton win over Donald Trump, many state-level polls across Indiana predicted that Gregg would come out of the

election victorious, when in fact Holcomb beat Gregg by a seven percent margin.

Albright was among those who were surprised by the differences between the polls and the actual results of the election.

“Based on the polling, we thought it would be a close race, and we thought it would lean towards Gregg,”Albright said.

“There were different points. Certainly the Monmouth Poll that came out in October seemed overzealously in favor of him [Gregg]. I believe it gave him an 11 or 12 percent advantage, which seemed really high. But most of the polling had indicated Gregg was leading the entire race. That was when Holcomb came in in July, and he [Gregg] looked like he was going to be able to carry it through.

Holcomb didn’t have the name recognition; Gregg had basically been running for the last four years because he lost to Pence in 2012. So my general thought, which was alongside the polling and really the campaign strategy, was that it was going to be a close one, but a win for Gregg. And what we know is that it was basically the complete opposite.”

According to junior political science

major and student body president Jason Marshall, it remains to be seen how Holcomb will govern Indiana, whether he will follow in the footsteps of Daniels and Pence, or whether he will bring new ideas to the state.

“It’s hard to say who he [Holcomb] is, because he doesn’t have a voting record,” Marshall said.“He’s not been in an elected office before. So I think it’s partly him riding on the coattails of [the] republican ticket, with Trump and everything. Or they [the voters] want to see that continued path, [since] he worked with Mitch Daniels, [and] people liked Mitch Daniel.

He worked with Pence, [and] that’s hit or miss with people. If he just continues that conservative principled leadership, I think that’s the majority of what Indiana is looking for right now.”

Junior political science major and intern for Holcomb’s campaign Daniel Miller applauded Holcomb’s focus on all areas of Indiana, not just areas that traditionally vote Republican.

“I think what pollsters overlooked is the attention that he [Holcomb] gives people,” Miller said. “He showed a lot

of attention to the Region, considering how populous and how dense the demographic of Democrats are there. A lot of Republican governors, governor-elects or nominees don’t show the attention there because they assume ‘we lost there’and just throw it in the bag. Now we [Holcomb’s campaign] did lose Lake County. We lost the heavy Region, but didn’t get blow out, and that was our goal.”

According to the Indianapolis Star, Holcomb plans to expand state-funded pre-kindergarten education for lowincome families and allow parents to choose which school their child should attend. Holcomb claims to be supportive of the LGBTQIA community and against discrimination of any kind, according to ontheissues.org. He promotes private sector economic growth, rather than increasing the taxes of citizens. Holcomb also believes that Planned Parenthood is “despicable,” but that it should not be shut down, according to ontheissues.org.

Holcomb will be sworn in as Indiana’s 51st governor on January 9, 2017, along with Lieutenant Governor Suzanne Crouch.

Crimson Express jazzes up NOVEMBER 22, 2016

THE REFLECTOR

By Abby Land & Zoë Berg STAFF WRITER & FEATURE EDITOR The University of Indianapolis’ vocal jazz/pop ensemble, Crimson Express, performed Nov. 16 at 7:30 p.m. in the Ruth Lilly Performance Hall. Directed

by Associate Professor of Music Pete Schmutte, UIndy’s Crimsonites had a set list of 11 songs including a Disney Medley and a Swing Mash-Up. The concert ended with the alumni-inclusive song “Oh, Happy Day.” The Crimson Express singers are students at UIndy. Female voices include junior Samantha Burkey, freshman Aubrey Budzenski, sophomore Morgan Ellis, freshman Sidney Hochstetler and sophomore Christianna Lopez. Male voices in the group include freshman Gabriel Castro, freshman Justyn Clark, sophomore Brenden Everett, freshman Matthew Hill and junior Luke Garrigus.

To prepare for their concert, the students practiced two days a week for nearly three hours with Schmutte and were expected to work on the music individually.

According to Schmutte, the Crimsonites rehearsed around a grand piano which is the typical rehearsal style for Crimson Express. He said this is partially because it allows him to hear them but also because they can build each other’s sound.

“Since we’re a smaller group, I just have them gather around the piano,” Schmutte said. “And that way, it’s easy to ask questions, plus they can hear each other. If you’re standing in a row, it’s hard to hear the person next to you. I think they get a better sense of how their parts work together.”

Schmutte said that the Crimsonites work to stylize a piece originally written for a solo artist into a number suitable for a group. He said it is a very democratic process.

“All popular music is popularized by solo voices,” Schmutte said. “You think of a solo artist, and they’re singing that song. So what I had to do was try to put

[in] those nuances and the little stylizing that somebody does when they sing a song,–– how they scoop into a note, –– how they sing a note, whatever gives it character. What we had to do was get 10 people to move as one voice, a solo voice.

Everybody has their own interpretation of how they sing a song. So we have to come up with a consensus about how we’re going to do it. Sometimes, I’ll know specifically [what I want done]... Sometimes, I won’t have a definitive answer, and I’ll say, ‘Morgan, how would you sing that?’

And she’ll do it, and I’ll say, ‘Oh I like that; let’s all do that.’”

Schmutte said he also listens to how the students sing when they are rehearsing to get ideas on how they should sing a particular note; he then uses what he heard to influence their performance.

Crimsonites’ suggestions are all taken into consideration by Schmutte.

“I try to let them know that we all come in here with different levels of gifts,” he said. “Just because you’re a senior doesn’t mean your interpretation is better than the freshman’s. So it’s getting the freshmen to feel secure and comfortable enough to say, ‘Hey, how about this?’ and make a suggestion.”

While the group worked well together, that is not to say, however, that the performers did not experience difficulties while preparing for their first ensemble concert together. Of the 10 performers, six are freshmen. Schmutte said that while it is part of the learning process, making young performers feel comfortable and included within the group and getting them to step up took some work.

“The biggest challenge was getting these freshmen to realize that they really had to step up to learn this music…. I said to some of them [at our rehearsal Tuesday night] ... you all just sound like you’re in high school…. So I told them, ‘The reason you’re in this group is because I know you have the skills to do that [sing the pieces well].’ And just trying to get them to sing out [is a challenge],” Schmutte said.

The audience appreciated the hard work of the group, according to sophomore Erin Miller.

“I came to see my friend in the show,” Miller said.“It reminded me of my days in show choir. They did a really awesome job.”

The performance included an array of diverse songs from the Beatles’ classic “Something” to a swing-time mashup featuring “Just In Time” and “They Can’t Take That Away From Me.” The female members of the Crimson Express executed their own number, “River Deep, Mountain High.”

“The show was really upbeat and fun,” freshman Teyler Siples said. “I loved the girls’ number.”

Schmutte said he had been worried

about the quality of the performance at their Tuesday rehearsal, because he said it sounded “amateurish,” when he wanted it to sound professional. But he said that he was “ecstatic and pleasantly surprised” at how well the Crimsonites performed at the following day's rehearsal and at the performance.

“So then when we had our rehearsal on Wednesday afternoon, it sounded 100 percent better, but there were still some things.

But when we got into performance, it was like everybody focused on whatever they had to give, [and] they put it in their songs. I was relieved and delighted, not necessarily in that order, but delighted and relieved. What they showed me, and hopefully showed them,

that they’re capable of achieving that level.

And I mean some people really sang much better than their natural talent allows.

They really pushed themselves. I was very happy,” Schmutte said.

Schmutte said because they had six freshmen, it took longer to work on the pieces and achieve the quality that he wanted, but they improved and will continue to do so. “[So] we had a shorter program. But in the spring, they will have one semester under their belt,” Schmutte said. “We’ll probably learn more and have more difficult material.”

Crimson Express will perform again on April 17 at 7:30 p.m., in the Ruth Lilly Performance Hall.

Assistant Professor of Art & Design Barry Barnes finishes installing the final pieces of his exhibit to complete the exhibition in the gallery in CDFAC.

Exhibit opens, features faculty

By Jeff Dixon STAFF WRITER

The University of Indianapolis biannual Faculty Art Exhibition opened to the community on Nov. 14, featuring artwork submitted by each full-time Art & Design faculty member, as well as pieces submitted by adjunct faculty in the art program. The exhibition will be open Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., until Dec. 16 in the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center Gallery.

Associate Professor and Chair of Art & Design James Viewegh approached this year’s exhibition from a different angle with Gallery Coordinator Mark Ruschman. “[This exhibition is] more like the process we faculty go through to create our own artwork.… It’s to show that sense of process, that sense of the tools we use to create our forms,” Viewegh said.

In order to demonstrate this theme, faculty artists submitted pieces in varying stages of progress, often accompanied by the tools used to create the artwork.

Viewegh submitted an oil painting that took more than 500 hours to finish with initial sketches and preliminary photographs as well as four different pictures taken throughout the piece’s progress.

He also submitted a collection of woodwork which featured two finished pieces, a table saw jig tool and several sections of partially finished panels and corners in order to show the process of his work.

Assistant Professor of Art & Design

Barry Barnes submitted large clay pieces that were still “leather-hard,” meaning the material was still damp and malleable.

“It’s a little bit risky,” Barnes said. “ ... If somebody [went] in there right now they could take a key out and have some fun.”

Barnes explained how submitting unfired clay to the gallery would allow him to show students his process.

“Over the next four weeks, I’ll start pulling a few pieces out at a time and taking those pieces through the firing process, with the addition of more glaze and surface work,” he said. “My goal, at the end of these four weeks, is to actually reassemble the pieces that I have in the gallery, but in the finished state, so students will totally see my process.”

Assistant Professor of Art & Design Katherine Fries displayed a number of tools with her artwork, including a monotype press, a letterpress, paint scrapers, paint rollers, masking tape and a ruler.

Fries’ choice to show the actual tools she used to create her work may have had something to do with the way she describes her work in her artist’s statement, as focusing on an “increased awareness of objects; our relationship with them, and their potential value,” Fries said.

There were various ways that faculty displayed their processes and artwork.

Assistant Professor of Art & Design Jonathan DiBlasi presented handwritten notes and screen grabs of program code for his “spectrograph” pieces. Assistant Professor Rhonda Wolverton included a timelapse video covering the installation

of a sidewalk piece she titled “TTYL.” Assistant Professor Randi Frye showed a notepad containing several sketches and ideas for what would become the design for her “Hullabaloo Press Logo.”

For Associate Professor Julia Taugner, her finished submission of a graphic map and guide for the Pogue’s Run Waterway was not completely able to demonstrate the process by which she completed it.

“The end [product] cannot show the interaction with teams of amazing people, which is such an important part of visual communication design,” she said.

Viewegh described this collection of various art media and processes as a highly worthwhile experience for all members of the community.

“The exhibition in general is just a really great opportunity for the campus community and the surrounding community to see what the Art & Design faculty here at UIndy do.… It shows the kind of things that we can teach our students.

Everything that we teach is in our own work. It’s not like we’re spewing a bunch of garbage. What we say is what we do,” Viewegh said.

Viewegh also explained that the gallery is a “teaching gallery.” He said that students are not only taught “through the artwork that’s on the walls or in the exhibition but also through the process of installing the work.”

The next exhibition featured in the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center Gallery will be the Letterpress Hullabaloo exhibition, from Jan. 17 to Feb. 10.

A variety of music styles were performed by the University of Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra and Symphonic Wind Ensemble on Nov. 10 at 7:30 p.m. in the Ruth Lilly Performance Hall. The performers were directed by Assistant Professor of Music and violinist Austin Hartman and Assistant Professor of Music and Director of Bands Vu Nguyen.

The orchestra hosted musical guests such as Adriana Contino, a visiting professor from Anderson University and cellist, and associate adjunct professor of music and cellist Dennis McCafferty for the “Concerto of Two Cellos in G Minor, RV 531,” composed by Antonio Vivaldi.

The two cellos were the centerpiece for the three-part concerto: allegro moderato, largo and allegro.

Contino and McCafferty began the medley and then were joined by UIndy’s orchestra.

“I like the mix, and I like that about professor Hartman. He’s mixing faculty and professional musicians with students.

It’s great. It’s a little bit of a challenge because the students think of themselves often as followers and students,” Contino said, “but we are motivating them to take responsibility and to lead. I think that’s happening more and more.”

The chamber orchestra and Contino performed, “Pièces en Concerto for Cello and Strings,”by François Couperin.

In this piece, the cello and student string players were showcased through a series of pieces that emphasized dynamics and tempo changes.

“I really feel that this generation is afraid of coming forward with their energy, and my [really] heartfelt tip is that people need to express themselves more and lead more. In other words, to say it bluntly, there’s a passivity, and I don’t like to see that,” Contino said. “I always try to awaken people to be who they are and really come forward. I think that there are some reasons for that, because in education you often [get sort of ] penalized for being yourself and maybe you stop coming forward because it’s not having the effect you want. In music, that means really making a statement, taking a chance and being willing to make a mistake. When you perform, you really have to give it to the audience, and there’s no holding back.”

The orchestra concluded its portion of the night with “Suite for Strings,” a series

of folksongs by John Rutter.

“Instrumental music doesn’t have words, but it should have the effect of words. It’s just that the person listening can make up whatever it is in their own minds and their hearts. That’s the goal because, I think, everything is sort of a language. Music is a language,” Contino said.

The Percussion Ensemble, directed

by Paul Berns, began its portion of the night with “October Mountain,” by Alan Hovhaness, a sextet that explores the color and dynamic ranges of the various percussion instruments, according to Nguyen.

Nguyen directed “Petite Symphonie,” IV Finale, by Charles Gounod, was performed by the Symphonic Wind Ensemble.

“We have a good amount of freshmen in the group, and some of them have been going through a lot of changes as far as how they play their instruments, or playing roles that they have never been in before, like a lead role,” said sophomore music education major and trumpet player Breann Royer. “So [we try] reassuring their worries and just encouraging them when [we] hear them doing something or struggling with something such as a rhythm that they haven’t gotten.”

The Wind Ensemble continued with “Overture to ‘Candide,’” by Leonard Bernstein, based on Voltaire’s operetta of the same name, and “O Magnum Mysterium,” by Morten Lauridsen, referring back to the birth of Jesus Christ, according to Nguyen.

The Symphonic Wind Ensemble concluded the performance with the familiar “Symphony No. 9” (From the New World), by Antonin Dvořák.

“For me, when I am playing music, the whole goal is to sing through the instrument and to portray an image, so that kind of starts with you having an image of what the music means to you or what it makes you think of, [meaning] creating that story for yourself and then translating that through your instruments to your audience,” Royer said. “[That way] you’re just playing with emotion. There’s a big difference from just playing notes and rhythms. We can all play notes and rhythms. So playing with emotion and portraying that makes a big difference.”

The Faculty Artist Concert Series will present its event “Trumpetworks!,” featuring music from the Baroque period to Billy Joel, on Nov. 28 at 7:30 p.m. in the Ruth Lilly Performance Hall.

>>Before we can even celebrate Thanksgiving, Universal Pictures has released a Christmas comedy most would not anticipate. Directed by David E. Talbert, “Almost Christmas” premiered in theaters Nov. 11. The story follows a widower named Walter, portrayed by Danny Glover, who invites his sassy and hilarious sister-in-law, May, played by Mo’ Nique, and his four adult children, ––Kimberly Elise as Cheryl, Romany Malco as Christian, Gabrielle Union as Rachel and Jessie T. Usher as Evan––to their first family Christmas since his beloved wife passed away. However while trying to recreate her fun and loving family get-togethers and her famous sweet potato pie, secrets are revealed, marriages are tested and sibling rivalry reaches a new level. Talbert truly tried to embrace the comical side in this Christmas movie, but fails to make the story unique. If it was not for the wonderful cast, the movie had no true depth. Throughout the movie, I caught glimpses of the grief they all are experiencing after losing the beloved matriarch, and Danny Glover had serious moments in which he outshined the others emotionally. Mo’ Nique stole several laughs from me, especially at the end when they started playing the bloopers. Ultimately, I wish Talbert had given his characters more room to grow than what was presented. Overall, this cookie-cutter comedy is not horrible, but it is not the best, either.

>>The Rolling Stones ended their America Latina Ole Tour with a performance in Havana, Cuba on March 25. The show was aired across the world in theaters on Sept. 23, and an album from their live performance was released worldwide on Nov. 11. The album features hits from more than five decades of performing, including “Paint It Black,” “Angie,” “Start Me Up” and “Out of Control.” While listening to the album, I felt like I was at a Rolling Stones concert.The tracks flowed into one another, and there were no moments of silence before the next song began. The live venue did not have a negative impact on the quality of the vocals, guitar riffs or instrumentation. Jagger frequently included the live audience as well, turning the microphone to them to sing along with hits like “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” Their enthusiasm can be heard at the end of each song in screams, cheers and applause as Jagger addresses them in both English and Spanish. While the album has all the energy and talent of any The Rolling Stones performance or album, aside from it being one of the first free, outdoor rock concerts in Cuba, there is nothing new or spectacular about it. It is similar to the Stones’ 29 other live albums. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the album, as will other fans of The Rolling Stones or live albums.

However, if you’re looking for something different from the Stones, this album leaves something to be desired.

>>Founded in 1903 by an immigrant couple from Russia, Shapiro’s Deli began as a business by selling flour and sugar on the street, which years later, expanded into a grocery store-deli, which is now the downtown Indianapolis’ location. Shapiro’s has a retro vibe interior decoration scheme, but is not as upscale and chic as the rest of downtown.Although I found the interior design less-thanexciting, the food was more impressive.

Shapiro’s is open from 6:30 a.m., for various traditional breakfast options, to 8 p.m. When I visited for dinner, I found many home style options to choose from including spaghetti, meatballs, meatloaf and other yummy deli sandwiches. The cafeteria entrees come with two sides, and I chose baked chicken, macaroni and cheese and coleslaw. The chicken was a little dry and the macaroni was too creamy for my taste, but the coleslaw was just right. I went with my parents (because what college student does not want a free meal?), and they let me sample some of their food as well. My dad got a Reuben sandwich, and my mom got potato cakes.

I don’t usually like these items, but I really enjoyed them. I was most surprised at how much I enjoyed the sandwich. The meat was very lean and fresh, and I could see why Shapiro’s is so well-known for its deli. If I were to visit again, I would definitely have something from the deli, rather than the cafeteria line and maybe take it to go. That way, I could enjoy a little more appealing scenery.

by Joel C. Rosenberg, is a fictional suspense-thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the book. The setting is the Middle East, and it all seems so realistic. Rosenberg’s knowledge of this part of the world makes this book all-the-more intriguing and entertaining to read. J. B Collins, a foreign correspondent journalist for the New York Times, spends his time interviewing Jordanian royalty, Palestinians and even terrorists of the Islamic state. He puts himself through all of that stress and heartache for the chance to be the first to share the news and break it to the public. Just as things seem like they are about to calm down Rosenberg throws in another twist.

That was one of the things I absolutely loved about this book. There was not a single moment when I wasn’t eagerly turning the pages for more. Without some real world problems and actual circumstances, difficulties throughout the book could be solved too simply.

Collins assumed with as many important people following him, the story could be spread even faster than in the Times.

Unfortunately, his editor would not be too happy with him, and he later found out that some of what he tweeted was meant to be kept confidential between him and the source. Because of that mistake, he lost contact to the outside world. This book never failed to keep me eagerly turning each page.

>>“Christmastime is here, happiness and cheer” and tons of prematurely decorated voluptuous green Christmas trees. Kicking off its newest holiday tradition, The Oaks Academy in Indianapolis hosted its first Christmas Tree Festival from Nov. 11 to Nov. 20.

Although I walked through the wrong door and frightened a kind volunteer, I arrived in the dim and classily lit auditorium housing all of the gorgeous trees. A volunteer ushered my boyfriend and me to the ticketing booth, where I confirmed my ticket purchase for the event, which was only $10 for the both of us and $5 for one person. As well as the event program, the volunteer at the ticketing booth handed us raffle tickets for a Lowe’s gift card valued at $500, which would be raffled at the end of the event. As a young and festive woman with a heart for celebrating Christmas, I also have a gluttony for Starbucks coffee. The volunteers served coffee from Starbucks, other assorted refreshments such as popcorn and cute little bottles of water to serve visitors until the end. I will be sure to attend this event in years to come as The Oaks Academy thrives with their newfound holiday tradition. As a college student with a grandiose passion for the Christmas season on a budget, I felt this festival fueled my holiday cheer. I wish I could buy tickets for everyone to attend this event. Everyone deserves to partake in holiday cheer, regardless of the proximity to Thanksgiving.

Review: App eases access to politics

By Erik Cliburn EDITORIAL ASSISTANT As many people increasingly feel misrepresented by government and unheard by the politicians in Washington, apathy and indifference towards the American political system has grown.

Countable is designed to change that.

This app takes United States politics and simplifies it so that nearly anyone can understand it. When I first logged into Countable, I was prompted to create a profile, which would use only my zip code. At first I was confused by why this information was necessary, but after creating my profile, it linked me to the profiles of Indiana’s senators, currently Joe Donnelly and Dan Coats, and the Congressman for my district André Carson. The app’s primary function is to display current bills, proposed bills or issues being faced in the federal government.

The app lets you known whether or not the legislation has been reviewed in Congress yet; if so, it lets you know how your senators and representatives voted on the issue. The app then lets you vote “yea” or “nay” on each piece of legislation. The vote is then recorded and sent to your representatives in order to better inform them about how their constituents are feeling about issues. After voting on each issue, you are prompted to comment on why you voted that way, which you can either accept or decline.

The most recent issue that I voted on was “Should the U.S. Continue to Strengthen Israel’s Military?,” to which I voted “Nay.” Before voting on the issue, I scrolled down the page to find more details about this issue. I discovered that my representative, Carson, had voted “Yea” on the issue, and that the House of Representatives had already passed the bill with 405 “Yeas” to four “Nays.” I also was informed that the bill had not yet been

voted on in the Senate or signed by the president. Now, political opinions aside, I thought it was a brilliant idea to allow users the chance to see how not only their representative voted, but how the whole House voted on the issue.

As someone who loves to read comment sections on the Internet, I enjoy the comments made by other Countable users. The comments range from inane one-sided rants to well-thought-out arguments, which, funny enough, represent a microcosm of the American people. Not only does the app let you vote on issues ranging from space exploration, abortion and LGBTQIA rights to fiscal policies, but it also acts as a news source for breaking political stories. In a country where every news source seems to have some bias, it’s refreshing to see a truly unbiased way to inform people about their government. Instead of telling you what bill to support or which politician to vote for, Countable allows you to form your own opinion on the basis of the facts.

It allows you to follow both politicians and other users, and will keep track of their voting preferences and comments on those particular votes.

As a political science minor, I find this app invaluable. Countable provides an almost unparallelled amount of information on politics, compared with any other app out there, not to mention that it is so incredibly easy to use. There are several other apps and websites that allow you to find the voting records of U.S. representatives, but none offer the depth and simplicity of Countable.

Whether you are someone who follows politics regularly, or someone who is trying to learn more about the U.S. government, this app is an incredible, unbiased resource that can help you better understand the policies and laws that affect your life Countable is available for free for Android and for iPhone.

Marines celebrate their 241st birthday at UIndy

By Ryan Wright-Jordan STAFF WRITER

Community dogs provide therapy for people in need Students on the campus at the University of Indianapolis were invited to gather and meet dogs as a part of Eskenazi Health’s Therapy Dog program on Nov. 17 at 3 p.m. in the Engagement Center.The therapy dogs partnered with Eskenazi are trained to provide affection and comfort to people in hospitals, nursing homes, schools, hospices, disaster areas and to people with learning difficulties.

Recital brings graduates together in Ruth Lilly

Alumni of the music department at the University of Indianapolis were invited to perform again on Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center.

The alumni, organized by Associate Professor of Music Mitzi Westra, came together for the Alumni Recital on Nov. 6 at 4 p.m. in the Ruth Lilly Performance Hall.

The University of Indianapolis celebrated the Marines’ 241st birthday at 4 p.m. on Nov. 10 in the Stierwalt Alumni House. Former Mayor Greg Ballard started off the ceremony by speaking to all the Marines or issuing a “Call to Order.”

According to the U.S. Marine Corps website, since the Continental Congress established the Marine Corps in 1775 to fight on land and sea, every Nov. 10 the Marines celebrate the day of their birth.

All across the world, Marines commemorate the progress of their branch of service and these lost in battle.

The primary tradition is to have a Marine Birthday Ball, which is similar to the Marine Birthday at UIndy, but with dancing. A Marine attending the UIndy event, Cpl. Kevin Buetow, said the ball “is like prom on steroids.”

Generally at the celebrations, Marines receive a few congratulatory words from the host and then a message from their commandant praising those who served and are still serving. Afterwards, while bagpipes are playing, a few Marines escort a cake to the center of the room, which is ceremoniously cut with a Mameluke sword, or as it is commonly known, an officer’s sword. Once cut, a piece is given to the oldest Marine in attendance. After taking a bite, the eldest Marine says, “This food is fit for human

consumption.” Then the youngest Marine attending takes a bite and declares the same. This particular tradition is to show the passing down of traditions from the eldest Marine to the youngest according to Buetow.

After Ballard, a Marine named Joseph Lohman spoke to everyone at the birthday.

“I’m a man, a husband, and a father.

I’m a Marine, and I’m a brother to all those who claim the title U.S. Marine,” Lohman said. “... I believe, deep down, all of us Marines hold true [to] all of our traditions and try to uphold them to the utmost. At times, it takes a Marine to remind all of us what it is we stand for.”

After Lohman spoke, a five-minute video message from the commandant was played.

After the video, the Marines’ voices echoed through the Stierwalt Alumni House as they sang the Marines’ Hymn.

When the hymn was finished, some Marines shouted, “Ooh rah!”

Then the cake was brought out. Standing at attention, four Marines carefully walked the cake to the center of the room.

Ballard cut the cake with the officer’s sword and gave a piece to the eldest Marine, who in turn took a bite and gave it to the youngest to consume as well. Then the rest of those in attendance received a piece of the cake.

“I appreciate that they [Marines] are willing to leave their families to fight for me and our country,” said sophomore public health major Julia Brunnemer.

Students hold event to fight stigma on campus

A student writes a message on a poster during the “Stigma Fighters” event on Nov. 16, which aspires to spread the message that everyone be kind to one another.

By Josie Clark STAFF WRITER “Stigma Fighters”educated nearly 150 students about transgender awareness and person-first language on Wednesday, Nov. 16 in UIndy Hall B. Assistant Professor of Psychological Sciences Jackie Hess asked students in her Abnormal Psychology course to choose an advocacy issue related to the class. Nine small groups chose abnormal psychology issues to advocate, and the entire class collaborated to host the transgender awareness and personfirst language event. The students named themselves “Stigma Fighters.”

Hess said that the 33 students made their decision by the third week of the course and have spent part of each evening during their night class working on the “Stigma Fighters” project. The students mean what they say, Hess said, and are dedicated to spreading the message to be kind and be aware of the way we address one another.

“Whether we’re talking about stigma regarding mental health or being trans-

NOVEMBER 22, 2016

gender, I don’t believe in that. It’s about being respectful,” Hess said. “It’s about creating a world where we’re all safe.”

The students hosting the event created four sections. Each person who entered had his or her Lecture/Performance slip signed at each station in order to receive credit. The first station was educational and involved a short lecture and questionand-answer session about transgender awareness, person-first language and mental health. The second station required students to write an encouraging note to anyone who is struggling against a stigma. The third station was a game in which students were asked questions about scenarios involving the fight against stigma. The final section was to sign a “Stigma Fighters” banner to pledge to reduce stigma. Senior human biology and Spanish major Sarah Hamilton helped organize the event and was impressed with the turnout for the event. She said that she did a lot of research just trying to be sure that she and the class did justice to the topic.

Senior religion major Joshua Beach was impressed with the event as well.

“I’m very big on minorities, and I thought this is an issue that’s extremely relevant,” Beach said. “This is about treating the person first. Oftentimes, we label people first.”

Junior nursing major Alex Brinley was part of the group that originally came up with the transgender advocacy issue.

Brinley acted as the transgender advocate for the rest of the class. She said that this class has not affected her, as this is her first semester living as full-time female.

She said that it can be hard because many people do not know anyone who is transgender. The recent presidential election does not bode well, she said.

“The level of harassment and prejudice and hate I’ve seen has increased,” Brinley said. “The last week, there have been days where I was afraid to go outside. I’ve seen more harassment in the last week than in the last six months.”

Brinley further stated that the Abnormal Psychology class has been very supportive. This was the only event the group will host this semester, but members all have pledged to fight stigma in their day-to-day lives and on campus.

A veteran in the audience watches a video message from the commandant of the Marine Corps on Nov. 10.

Semper Fi, as the Marines say, or Semper Fidelis, in Latin, means always faithful.

“Honor guides marines,” Lohman said.

“To exemplify the ultimate and ethical

moral behavior, to never lie, cheat or steal, [and] to abide by an uncompromising code of integrity, respecting of dignity to respect others.”

MOLD from page 1 “There are just some things you cannot clean and fix, so I was glad when they said we would be reimbursed,”she said.“We sent in our list of stuff to Residence Life and they sent it on to others, but we still have not heard anything and have not gotten a response.”

Schonauer said she also felt like it was compromising her health.

“I would cough really bad throughout my sleep,” she said. “I was noticing breathing problems, and it felt like I was having an anxiety attack. And I had never had that happen before.”

Schonauer said the university accepted their request, but the university would not cover the difference in the cost of the dorms. Although Schonauer said she tried to argue that she had no choice but to move out after multiple mold incidents, she was told the university does not alter costs for circumstantial events.

Schonauer said that after spending about a week in the new dorm room in Central Hall, she feels her health has gone back to normal and has experienced no more breathing problems, which has made her living situation much better.

To avoid mildew growth, Fox said residents should keep their curtains open when they are not in their rooms and keep the air conditioning unit set at 70 degrees or above. She said physical plant personnel have been placing more emphasis on following certain rules to keep rooms cleaner and free of growth.

“When students come to move into their room, there’s a flyer on the door in a bright color, and it shares what steps to follow in order to keep a room clean,” Fox said. “We also placed the same thing in sticker format

on all air conditioning units, which can be found in every room.”

Although Schonauer said that she kept her unit one degree cooler at 69 degrees, she did not keep her curtains closed constantly.

Schonauer said that although it was an unfortunate situation, she was very thankful for how understanding and proactive both the RAs and her RD in Crowe were.

Fox said she hopes to improve education about mildew even more before school starts next fall.

“When the RDs come in for training, we’re going to put a really good presentation together for them next summer to kind of talk about what kind of spores live in the air, how residents should set their curtains and air conditioning and even how to recognize it,” she said. “We have received work orders, and we’ll go to clean it, and it might not actually be mildew growth. So the education would be very beneficial for the RAs and RDs, as well as the students, to know what to look for.”

Even though some work orders result in false identification of mildew growth, Fox said they want to emphasize how seriously physical plant personnel take each case.

“We treat each work order that comes in just as seriously as the one beforehand,” Fox said. “We just want to make sure that if anything is found ... we address it right away.”

Students who believe they may have mildew or mold growth in a dorm room should contact their RA or RD to have a work order placed as soon as possible.

Sanders, in new leadership role, shares plan for change

By Evan Halper TRIBUNE WASHINGTON BUREAU WASHINGTON (TNS)—With the Democratic Party lost in the postelection wilderness, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is aggressively reasserting himself, offering his vision for the path out as he takes on a leadership role in his caucus as the chairman of outreach.

In a wide-ranging conversation Thursday, Nov. 18 with reporters, Sanders—who plans to continue to serve as an independent, not a Democrat—offered a preview for where his progressive wing wants to take the Democratic Party. He also had some choice words about Presidentelect Donald Trump, particularly when the conversation turned to his threat to prosecute Hillary Clinton.

“It would be almost beyond comprehension,” Sanders said at an event hosted by the Christian Science Monitor. “This is the United States of America. We do not prosecute our political opponents and try to throw them in jail. It would completely divide this country. It would be an outrage.”

Sanders’ plan for a Democratic comeback, though, doesn’t involve battling every Trump initiative. His colleagues, he said, would be better served by picking their fights selectively after Trump co-opted the Democratic agenda with a populist pitch. Here’s where Sanders wants Democrats to go now: Work with Trump on trade.

Sanders finds many of Trump’s campaign promises disturbing but said Democrats would be foolish to resist an argument at the core of Trump’s economic agenda: that international trade deals should be renegotiated.

As other lawmakers bristle at Trump’s vows to tear apart the North American Free Trade Agreement and smack tariffs on U.S.companies that move factories abroad, Sanders wants to hold Trump to those promises to send a clear signal to displaced Rust Belt workers that the Democratic Party can deliver for them.

Bernie Sanders speaks passionately on the first night of the Democratic National Convention on July 25 in Philadelphia, Pa. Sanders supporters still hope he has a path to the White House through congressional action. (Carolyn Cole/Los Angeles Times/TNS) “It is high time corporate America understands they cannot get the benefits of being American corporations while at the same time turning their backs on the American working class,” Sanders said.

Although he doubts Trump will crack down on companies as promised, Sanders said Democrats should work with him “to tell corporate America you cannot keep running all over the world ... searching for cheap labor while you destroy the working class of this country.”

Don’t sugarcoat the Obama years.

Democrats talk about how much the economy has improved under President Barack Obama, and Sanders said it’s a fair point considering the mess Obama inherited. But he said pressing that case overlooks the reality that the middle class is shrinking rapidly. Displaced workers who once earned good livings in nowshuttered factories and mines are only going to be repelled by the argument that everything was bad before and it is good now.

“Democrats too often have ignored

that over a 40-year period ... the middle class of this country has been shrinking,” Sanders said. “Real wages for American workers have gone down. Inequality has gone up.”

Keep equality and justice front and center.

Callers have flooded Sanders’ phone lines, urging him to keep pressuring for the dismissal of Stephen Bannon, the right-wing media executive and whitenationalist favorite named Trump’s chief White House strategist. It’s a reflection, Sanders said, of how far outside the mainstream of American opinion Trump is.

“I will not compromise with racism.

And I will not compromise with sexism. And I will not compromise with homophobia. And I will not compromise with Islamophobia,” Sanders said. “There are areas I would have hoped that in 2016 we would have put behind us.”

To that effect, Sanders said Democrats need to redouble efforts to forge ties with the minority groups that have traditionally supported them but just are not coming out to vote in the numbers Democrats need to win. “We’ve got to build on the current base,” he said.

Hit climate change hard.

Democrats call climate change an existential crisis, yet hardly discussed it in the general election. Sanders suggested that is a mistake. Now the White House will be inhabited by a president who has labeled climate change a hoax and who wants to dismantle the Environmental Protection Agency.

“We have got to focus much more attention on this,” Sanders said. “The future of this planet is at stake. We have got to bring together people to demand Mr. Trump listen to the scientists.”

He said that Trump will be walking into a political hornet’s nest if he pursues his plans to scrap every federal climate change program, and that Democrats should start putting more focus there now. ___ (c)2016 Tribune Co.

Trump to deport 3 million immigrants

By Kate Linthicum LOS ANGELES TIMES

(TNS) President-elect Donald Trump says his administration will seek to promptly deport up to 3 million immigrants with “criminal records’’ who are in the U.S. illegally but will defer the far wider exclusions he called for during the campaign until “after the border is secure.’’

Trump’s comments, made in an interview recorded for CBS’s “60 Minutes,’’ highlight one of the challenges he faces in reconciling the rhetoric that propelled him to victory with how he is prepared to govern.

“What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records ... probably 2 million, it could be even 3 million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate,’’ Trump said.

“After the border is secure, and after everything gets normalized, we’re going to make a determination’’ on whether to deport others, he said.

Trump’s estimate of how many immigrants have criminal records exceeds what others have found. About 820,000 people in the U.S. illegally have criminal convictions, according to the nonpartisan Migration Policy Institute, a group that is funded by Fortune 500 companies, major foundations, and the U.S. and more than a dozen foreign governments.

In an immigration policy speech in August,Trump said about 2 million “criminal aliens”lived in the U.S., a calculation made by the Center for Immigration Studies, a nonprofit group that seeks to lower immigration levels. The organization said it was citing a Department of Homeland Security report that counted 1.9 million “removable criminal aliens.” That group, however, includes people who are legal permanent residents or have temporary visas.

Trump did not say when this second phase of determinations might unfold.

Asked about his oft-repeated pledge to

secure the U.S.-Mexico border by building a wall, Trump said he would consider sections of fencing, as preferred by some members of Congress.

Trump’s comments on immigration were echoed Sunday, Nov. 13 by other Republican leaders. House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union,’’ said, “We’re focused on securing the border. ... We’re not planning on erecting a deportation force.’’

Newt Gingrich, who was House speaker in the 1990s and who is assisting Trump’s transition, said on CBS’s “Face the Nation’’ that the deportation of immigrants in the country illegally who have criminal pasts would be the new administration’s priority.

Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, a close Trump ally, said his administration “would have to be very careful’’ regarding immigration from terrorism-prone regions of the Middle East.

“I think this is going to be a countryby-country decision,’’ Giuliani said on CNN. Much will depend on the extent to which each country cooperates in sharing information.

One clear exception, Giuliani suggested, would be prospective immigrants from Syria, because of the possibility that terrorists might be planted among refugees.

“We would be foolish to allow these people to come into the United States,’’ Giuliani said. U.S. authorities “already have 1,000 investigations of radical Islamic terrorists in the United States,’’ he said.

Under Obama administration policy, Syrian refugees applying for asylum in the U.S. undergo an 18- to 24-month vetting process, some of the most stringent examinations the government says it conducts in considering whom to allow in the country. ___ (c)2016 Los Angeles Times Visit the Los Angeles Times at www. latimes.com.

Mexico tells US Embassy to expand protection of its citizens living in US

By Kate Linthicum LOS ANGELES TIMES MEXICO CITY (TNS)—One week after Donald Trump’s election as the next U.S. president, Mexico has issued a message of support for Mexican immigrants living in the United States: “We are with you.”

On Wednesday, Nov. 16 the Mexican government instructed its embassy and consulates in the U.S. to step up measures to protect Mexican immigrants. The measures include a 24-hour hotline that will allow people to report harassment and immigration raids, as well as the expansion of deportation-defense work at 50 consulates.

“These are uncertain times,” said Foreign Secretary Claudia Ruiz Massieu in an online video introducing the new measures. “The government of President Enrique Pena Nieto and all Mexicans are with you. We are going to be closer than ever.”

Ruiz urged those living in the U.S. to contact Mexican consulates to find out whether they might be targeted for deportation after Trump takes office next year.

Trump’s vows of mass deportations have caused deep anxiety among those

living in the U.S. illegally, about 5 million to 6 million of whom were born in Mexico. His repeated criticism of Mexico also has put millions of legal Mexican immigrants on edge.

The new measures introduced on Wednesday, Nov. 16 illustrate the level of concern that is also felt south of the border over Trump’s immigration threats.

While Mexican officials have been seeking ways to defend Mexico against Trump’s pledge to impose stiff tariffs on Mexican goods and tear up free trade agreements, his threat to ramp up deportations could devastate the Mexican economy.

Mexico, whose peso has been faltering since news of Trump’s victory, is highly reliant on the billions of dollars in remittances it receives each year from immigrants living in the U.S. And experts say it would be difficult for Mexico to absorb large numbers of new deportees.

Already, Mexican officials have been struggling to integrate the roughly 200,000 Mexicans who are repatriated annually by U.S. immigration authorities.

Many returnees lack the proper Mexican documents to find work, and many come with their children, some of whom are U.S. citizens who don’t speak Spanish. Nearly half a million U.S. citizen children are

enrolled in Mexican schools, according to government statistics.

As part of its Trump-related action plan, Mexico says it will make it easier for Mexicans living in the U.S. to obtain proper Mexican identity documents and will intensify a campaign to register as Mexican citizens children born in the U.S. to parents who are Mexican nationals.

A statement released by the Foreign Ministry on Wednesday, Nov. 16 titled “We Are With You” also pledged to “strengthen dialogue with state and local authorities.”

While immigration laws are enforced by federal officials, increasing numbers of local and state municipalities have taken steps to limit collaboration on deportations. It is “local policies that determine, to a large extent, the daily lives of Mexicans in the United States,” the statement said.

The statement called on Mexicans living in the U.S. to avoid “situations of conflict” that could lead to jail time and eventually a deportation order. Ruiz echoed that sentiment in her video. “Stay calm,” she said. ___ (c)2016 Los Angeles Times Visit the Los Angeles Times at www. latimes.com. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
