Health Pavilion Topping Out Ceremony marks progress UIndy’s newest building receives beam during traditional ceremony

By Vivian Husband STAFF WRITER Faculty, staff, students and members of the community gathered in Nicoson Hall on Nov. 4 for the University of Indianapolis Health Pavilion Topping Out Ceremony.

The UIndy Health Pavilion will be a learning environment intended to bring the occupational and physical therapy, nursing, kinesiology, psychology, athletic training and social work programs together, along with the Center for Aging and Community.

The building design includes classrooms, group work areas, research labs, an auditorium, a cafe, an outdoor plaza and a rooftop terrace. There also will be a public use area for students with a computer lab as well as a dining area.

The final beam of the building’s steel

frame was hoisted into place as the audience stood watching at the ceremony.

“Topping Out” is a longtime ironworker’s tradition. It signifies that the building has reached its maximum height.

The final beam had been sitting in the Schwitzer Student Center atrium for two weeks collecting signatures from the campus community.

The ceremony continued the tradition of having the American flag, a UIndy flag and a small evergreen tree attached to the beam as it was lifted into the air.

The tree symbolized that the construction process had advanced with safety and served as a blessing for the building.

The short ceremony consisted of remarks from President Robert Manuel, Board of Trustees Vice Chair Yvonne Shaheen, Interim Associate Provost

Ellen Miller and University Co-Chaplain Jeremiah Gibbs.

The speakers shared their personal experiences and feelings about the planning of this process.They said they were proud and honored to have a hand in UIndy’s project and to be a part of the growth and development of the University of Indianapolis campus and surrounding community.

After the remarks, everyone gathered outside to watch the hoisting of the final beam.

Junior social work major Alexis Fort attended the ceremony to show her support and enthusiasm.

“I’m really excited because I am a social work major,” Fort said. “I am happy that health service majors are able to get the necessary facilities to help our community.”

The UIndy Health Pavilion will be located next to Warren Hall. Construction began last summer and is set to open August 2015.

Some of the most important tools the campus police department has is its security technology, according to Chief of Police and Director of Campus Security David Selby. This technology can fill in gaps in investigations and maintain a flow of communication during security incidents. The most recent addition to this technology at the University of Indianapolis is the card swipe system in the residence halls.

“Card access is a wonderful thing for a couple of reasons,” Selby said. “For one, we can keep these buildings locked.

We know who is coming in and out of the building from a couple different ways. When you swipe that card, it [the information] is automatically recorded, and we know who is in that building.”

Buildings where the swipe system has been installed include five residence halls, Krannert Memorial Library and the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center.

Along with the swipe system, security cameras also have been installed in these buildings.

“There are cameras up so we have a video record of who is coming in and out of those buildings,” Selby said. “So it makes those buildings much more secure.

And if something does happen, we have a pretty good place to start to try to figure out where to go with the investigation.”

According to Selby, one of his focuses is safety in the residence halls. He said the

Exorcist Father Vincent Lampert of Saints Francis and Clare Catholic Church spoke about exorcisms at the University of Indianapolis in an event titled “Exorcisms: Fact or Fiction?” It took place on Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. The event was organized by the UIndy Catholic Student Association, and according to sophomore athletic training major and CSA board member Michael Lynch, 330 to 350 people attended.

Lampert said that usually college students are questioning their faiths, so he likes giving this speech at campuses to help the students.

“Since this is a topic I have studied extensively, I decide to throw it out there as information to help students ultimately decide what are they going to believe or not believe,” he said.

Lampert’s bishop appointed him to be an exorcist in 2005. Lampert explained that when a Catholic priest is ordained, he makes a vow to obey his bishop, so he could not say no when his bishop appointed him. Lampert was taking over the job of the former exorcist for Indianapolis, who had died in 2005.

“I never dreamed I’d inherit his job, so it’s not something I sought. It was

something that found me, you could say,” he said.

Lampert studied exorcisms in Rome and said being an exorcist is a lifetime employment. He said that there are two kinds of prayers used in exorcisms—imperative and supplication. According to Lampert, an imperative prayer is a command to the demon to depart from the person under possession, and only an ordained Catholic Church official can perform this type of prayer in an exorcism. A supplication prayer is one anyone can do, and it is an appeal to God. Lampert said that when a person calls for help, he or she usually has exhausted every medical or mental explanation, and he or she has diagnosed himself or herself or the situation. Demonic activities that Lampert investigates are the presence of evil, harassment, demonic obsession and demonic possession.

Lampert explained that before proceeding with an exorcism, medical and mental experts are consulted, and all reasonable explanations are exhausted.

He said science and religion do not have to be at odds with each other, and it is important to be skeptical in order to prevent doing more harm to the person in trouble.

Lampert said the criteria that must be met for a condition to be ruled as pos-

university looks to use the card swipe system for all buildings to heighten security.

“I’m a real big fan [of the new technology], and the best thing about this is that the buildings just become ‘boom’that much more secure, because you don’t have keys floating around,”Selby said.“One of the things that keeps me awake at night is worrying about everybody being safe in those residence halls. If something happens there, it’s a killer for us.”

Junior exercise science major Michael Lea is a resident assistant in Roberts Hall and is excited about the swipe system and the cameras across campus.

“I think it’s definitely a good thing because coming from an RA, my job is really to help protect the student body and the residents,” he said. “I think it’s really good having the card swipe, especially in the case of an emergency. We can take a tally of who is here and who is not here, and that also prevents break-ins.”

Dean of Students and Vice President for Student Affairs Kory Vitangeli said the campus will start transitioning away from keys. For the last two weeks of the semester, students will only use their cards to get into their residence halls.

“They’ll keep their keys, just in case there are any issues, but we want students to start transitioning,” Vitangeli said.

“Then second semester if all works well during the pilot, we will collect keys in those five buildings so that people have to use the card swipes.”

Optimism: a form of courage in a world of uncertainty and fear

By Mercadees Hempel NEWS EDITOR If someone had met me 12 years ago, he or she would have encountered a shy, quiet 8-year-old who believed anything bad that could happen would happen to her. I even had some gray hair, thanks to my frequent worrying about failing tests I knew I had studied for and a fear of car crashes. I would not go so far as to say I was a pessimist, but I was a worrier. It was not healthy, and I was plagued by it.

Then I watched a show called “Shaman King,” which taught me about optimism.

Based on the manga of the same name by Hiroyuki Takei, “Shaman King” is about shamans, people who are born with the ability to call on ghosts to aid them in battle. Each one chooses a ghost to be his or her “guardian ghost.” With their guardian ghosts, they participate in the Shaman Tournament, where they battle each other until there is one winner, who is crowned

the Shaman King.

Protagonist Yoh Asakura, a shaman who has trained his whole life to be in the tournament, is an optimist to the point of annoying his friends.Yoh thinks everything will work out in the end if he believes it will. However, in volume six of the manga, Yoh’s optimism fails him when he loses in a battle, risking his chance to make it in the tournament.

He has a breakdown over his failure until his guardian ghost explains that while his optimism cannot keep him from feeling pain, its purpose is to keep him going.

“Everyone has fears and anxieties,” he said. “What matters is how you deal with them.Your motto is ‘everything will work out.’That too is a form of courage.”

Something in me changed when I read that line. It was such a simple concept, but it was completely new to me.Yoh’s optimism did not make the fear go away. It just kept it from consuming him, the way fear often consumed me.

It was his form of bravery. And I decided that day to make it mine.

Optimism is defined by Google as “hopefulness and confidence about the future or the successful outcome of something,”but I have often heard people describe it as being “naïve” or “ignorant.”

Pessimists and cynics think of being optimistic as being blind to the horribleness in the world. They think optimism is damaging. However, being optimistic has several psychological benefits.

Psychologist Martin Seligman told the website psychologytoday.com that pessimists are not as productive as optimists because they tend to give up more easily.

Psychologist Suzanne Sergerstorm explains in her book,“Breaking Murphy’s Law: How Optimists Get What They Want From Life—and Pessimists Can Too,” that optimism is about feeling motivated and persistent, not just positive.

Optimists also deal with problems head-on rather than walking away, so they are more productive than pessimists.

While pessimists may shut down after a failure, optimists tend to learn from a negative experience and apply what they have learned to their life.

The way I see it, pessimists are not progressive or productive because, in their minds, they have failed before they have even begun. With this mind set, they do not have any motivation to begin a project or make changes to their life.

It boggles my mind that these same people think optimists are “naïve.”

Changing one’s mindset is never easy.

It took me a long time to completely embrace the optimism concept.The trick was reminding myself that the bad outcome of a situation oftentimes is not the one that happens. Bit by bit, it became easier to become optimistic. It can be difficult when other people are filled with so much negativity, but I do not let it tear me down. I know that pessimism does not foster growth or awards.

Believing that things will work out for the best is why I joined the newspaper in

high school, why I went on to study journalism in college and why I can continue to face my fears.

I know that there is horrible crime in this city. I know that ISIS is causing chaos. I know Ebola has killed thousands in Africa. I am not ignoring what I claim could be worse. I am not being naïve when I say there are solutions, and the world will find them.

What I am not doing is letting these tragedies make life meaningless. I am not letting the problems turn me into a coward. Whining, moaning and claiming that the sky is falling will not fix any of it.

What will fix problems is the motivation and persistence that optimists clearly have.

Optimism is not about being ignorant, avoiding facts or being naïve. It is about seeing the world for what it is and saying, “I can do better. Everyone can do better.

There is a chance, and it will all work out.”

This form of courage makes change not only possible, but practical.

a message that can’t be conveyed with any other language. Swearing shows a disregard for societal norms.

If you use a swear word for emphasis, you are showing the people around you that you mean what you say. The words have a special emphasis because they are nonstandard.

I am a self-admitted user of colorful language. Though obviously there is a time and a place that it is not appropriate, most situations allow me to express myself freely.

The words themselves don’t inspire any repulsive thoughts for me.They don’t make me immoral or mean.They certainly don’t make me ignorant or uncreative, despite what many people believe.

As a matter of fact, the opposite is true. Swear words allow people to express themselves in more unique ways than any other language because it is the most diverse language.

The Fword is the only word in the English language that can be used as every part of speech. People can construct sentences using these words that are original and still grammatically correct.

No other words allow a person to do that.

The most surprising effect of swear words is physiological.

The popular television show “MythBusters”tested the effects of swearing on pain tolerance.

They set up a test in which many people took a pain test. On the control they tested how long the subjects could stand having their hand in ice water while remaining silent.

On the second test they were allowed to

yell anything they like as long as it wasn’t a swear word. For the third test they were directed to yell swear words. People were found to have a 30 percent higher pain tolerance when using swear words. This suggests some biological link to using words that society sees as unfit.

Swear words are just a part of society.

They have been used by nearly every culture for hundreds of years. Though the specific words may change, there is always something that people can use to express themselves.

We need to be mindful of other people so that we don’t offend them, but we should all realize that these words aren’t going away.

We certainly shouldn’t deprive DiCaprio of another well-deserved Oscar just because he said the F-word on screen over one-hundred times.

The legacy of What’s wrong with swearing?

Swear words are a divisive topic that might actually help relieve both stress and physical pain Peyton Manning

By AJ Rose SPORTS EDITOR

If you are from the state of Indiana, you have heard the name Peyton Manning at least once or twice in your lifetime.

For just over a decade, the man who held the quarterback position for the Indianapolis Colts helped cultivate a love for football throughout the Hoosier state.

When he was released by the Colts in 2012, he left the city of Indianapolis more beautiful and improved than it was before he arrived, simply because of the impact he had on this community on and off the field.

Peyton suited up on Oct. 19 with his current team, the Denver Broncos, to host the San Francisco 49’ers on Sunday Night Football, but this was no ordinary night for the 17-year professional quarterback.

On that night, he had the historical opportunity to seize the record of most passing touchdowns by a quarterback in National Football League history, which had been held by former professional quarterback, Brett Favre with 508.

In the second quarter of that game, Peyton took advantage of the opportunity on an 8-yard touchdown pass, providing him with the all-time record at 509 and adding to his already illustrious resume of other records, championships and individual awards.

It was truly a special night for one of the most beloved athletes the world has ever seen.

As a long-time fan of Peyton, I have watched him play nearly his entire career and I must admit that at first I did not feel the same excitement that I should have when he broke the record.

Over and over again, any fan of Peyton or the Indianapolis Colts has seen this professional break multiple records throughout his career.

We have become so accustomed to seeing him break records, that it just never had quite the same excitement as it did early in his career, such as when he broke former professional quarterback Dan Marino’s record of 48 total touchdown passes in a single season.

We were spoiled by his greatness on the field, and like me, some fans just never learned to truly appreciate what was taking place in front of their very eyes.

After sitting back and thinking later that night about what Peyton had done I

began to truly realize that we may not experience moments such as this for a long time.

Just thinking about all of the touchdown passes I had witnessed him throw throughout his career while donning the horseshoe, I began to realize and appreciate the long road he traveled to reach that one moment on Sunday Night Football.

It took 17 years to accomplish, and that was with someone even as great as Peyton, which just shows how difficult of a milestone it was to achieve. It was at that moment I honestly appreciated what I had witnessed.

The culmination of 17 years of hard work, all for one single moment we may never see again, at least for a while.

Despite his lack of Super Bowl rings, no one can ever deny the impact that Peyton has had on the sport of football.

He is a prominent example of professionalism, handling his business on and off the field with the utmost class and dignity.

He left his mark on the game through years of records, championships, and individual awards but always remained humble and focused on what he could accomplish next for his team.

He is the leader every professional sports team desires, a role model that parents want their children to follow, and a defining example of the American dream that through hard work and dedication, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

It is hard to predict when we will ever see another quarterback as special as Peyton in our lifetime.

Quarterbacks like him, Joe Montana, Tom Brady, John Elway and Dan Marino only appear in rare instances, because in the NFL, to remain consistently successful every year throughout your career is probably one of the most difficult tasks in the world.

Maybe we are witnessing the rise of another young man who could potentially reach that status in Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck. Luck is currently, in just his third year, on pace to break Peyton’s record of most passing yards in a season.

Time will tell whether Luck can enshrine himself in such elite company, but one thing remains certain. There will never be another Peyton Manning.

“It was truly a special night for one of the most beloved athletes the world has ever seen.”

On Christmas Day, 2013 “The Wolf of Wall Street” premiered in U.S. theaters to stellar reviews and a great box office performance. The movie earned over $115 million worldwide. With an Internet Movie Database score of 8.3 out of 10, it ranks in the top 150 movies of all time. The film was nominated for five Oscars. Leonardo DiCaprio was nominated for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role.

Martin Scorsese was nominated for Best Achievement in Directing. The movie itself was nominated for Best Motion Picture of the Year. Despite all of the movies accolades, it did not yield one single win.

I believe this was mostly due to one factor. The movie also broke box office records for vulgarity. In three hours, the movie used the F-word 506 times, averaging 2.81 times every single minute.

Why does our culture demonize certain words?

If you think about words at their most basic, they are just a collection of sounds produced by our vocal cords and manipulated by our mouths. There is no innate meaning in any word.

At some point in the history of the English language, someone decided that a small, pointy-eared feline would be called a cat. In other languages, the words gato in Spanish, paka in Swahili and maow in Cantonese all signify the exact same animal in their own languages.

Likewise, every language has its own swear words.

Human Trafficking Awareness Week is held at UIndy KEYS sponsors events through a week to educate campus about the facts and realities of human trafficking in the world

By Jessica Hoover STAFF WRITER Human trafficking is a major international and local issue, with 2.5 million people involved in it at any given time, according to the United Nations. It is also very common in the United States.

According to www.restoredindiana.org, 100,000 to 300,000 children are at risk of exploitation, and the average age of entry into commercial sex is 12 to 14 years old in the United States.

Nov. 3 to Nov. 7 was Human Trafficking Awareness Week at UIndy, organized

by KEYS. KEYS is a registered student organization that works to bring awareness about human trafficking to students.

The multiple events during this week, included a trafficking in Indianapolis panel, the stand for freedom booth, the fair trade expo and a documentary film.

Sophomore psychology and pre-occupational therapy major Katie Mehrlich, a member of KEYS, was involved with many of the events. “[I hope students will gain] at least a basic understanding of the problem because a lot of people know that it exists.

. . . but think of it as another thing that happens in other countries,” Mehrlich said. “It’s important to know that [human trafficking] happens here, and it happens everywhere.”

The first of the events, the Trafficking in Indianapolis panel, was on Nov. 3 at 8 p.m. Three experts on human trafficking answered questions from both the host and the audience to help inform the public about this issue. They emphasized that no one is really safe from human trafficking and that it does happen on college campuses.

At the Stand for Freedom booth in the atrium on Nov. 5 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., KEYS members sold $5 bracelets for the cause, took pictures of students posing with human trafficking awareness signs and posted those pictures on Facebook to help raise awareness. Freshman nursing major Monica Randle attended some of the events during Human Trafficking Awareness Week.

“The fact that it actually happens in the United States really surprised me,” Randle said. “[This week] has inspired me to want to help spread the word of human trafficking.”

The Fair Trade Expo, featuring the

band, Lasting Hope, took place on Nov. from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. KEYS showed 6 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the atrium. the documentary “Very Young Girls.”

Chili Cook-Off raises money Meteorology course for the Arthritis Foundation undergoes changes Meteorology 211 opens to more students, no science background is required to enroll in class

By Jessi Shelton STAFF WRITER The University of Indianapolis’School of Physical and Occupational Therapy hosted its annual Chili Cook-Off on Nov. 5 in Martin Hall. The fundraiser, in its sixth year, brought in students, faculty and staff from across campus, all vying for the title of the Chili Cook-Off champion.

Those who attended the event were asked to make a $5 donation for a “sample spoon,”or a small spoon that allowed them to taste all of the entered chili, soup, or stew recipes. Once they decided on their favorite, they were allowed to indulge in a bottomless bowl of their choice. Attendants then voted in ballot-like fashion for whichever contestant’s concoction they determined was the best, and that is how the winners were chosen.

Professor of Physical Therapy Julie Gahimer claimed the first-place title with her version of Indiana chili, second place went to Instructional Technologist and Assistant Professor of Faculty Learning and Design Studio Beth Kiggins for her white chicken chili. Third place went to the founder of the event Associate Professor of Physical Therapy Bill Staples for his butternut pumpkin-squash vegetarian chili.

First-, second- and third place-winners received trophies and the title of Chili Cook-Off winner for one year.

All proceeds from the contest went to the Arthritis Foundation, a nonprofit organization geared toward the cure, control and prevention of arthritis. The Arthritis Foundation is in direct correlation with the Jingle Bell Run, a 5K/10K event from which all earnings are donated to the cause. This year, the cook-off raised $510.

Meteorology 211 has been remodeled to better correlate with the subject level.

course should be taught at a lower level.

Once the documentation was complete, it had to be submitted to the College of Arts and Science for review.

Meteorology 211 is now a newly formed course, and any student coming in with a math course of the 108 level or higher should be prepared for the class.

Giving students a better understanding of the science of the earth’s atmosphere is the purpose that propels Duman to teach Meteorology 211 as a class offered in the Physics and Earth Space Sciences Department.

Another new aspect of the course is a project Duman added in which students explore a science project of their own choosing. The assignment is similar to that of “MythBusters,” in which students actually will use the myth buster strategy.

According to Duman, students will examine if a myth in science they have heard of is confirmed, plausible or busted.

The project focuses on hands-on learning, which is the main ingredient of this course.

Another project has a student launching a hot air balloon in the atmosphere, tracking it and picking it up, according to Duman.

ing in drugs and alcohol or dabbling in witchcraft, can open a doorway to evil, Lampert said. He also said inviting a demon into one’s life and harvesting broken relationships are all ways a person can open the doorway.

Lampert explained that when an exorcism’s date is set, a sacred place such as a church is selected for it to take place along with those who will attend. He said the possessed person along and a couple of family members are usually there. He said people who will pray for the person possessed are the only ones allowed to attend.

Lampert said he prepares himself by fasting, spending time in prayer and doing other religious practices.

When it is time for the exorcism, Lampert said he calls on holy men and women to be present and then begins to read the Psalms. He then places his hands and breathes on the person to call on the Holy Spirit, and the Apostles Creed is recited.

The person is then asked to recite their

something that person wants and that children under the age of seven and people with mental handicaps cannot invite evil, so they cannot be possessed.

Lampert also said that his colleagues have told him the film “The Exorcism of Emily Rose” is an accurate representation of exorcisms.

Lynch said after the lecture that he believed in exorcisms and that listening to Lampert opened his eyes even more.

“Instead of just believing in them, actually hearing from one of our appointed exorcists, hearing their story and the things that they’ve done, just kind of put some substance behind it,” he said.

Lampert said that while his speech is about exorcisms, he likes to focus on faith.

He hopes people who may be questioning their faiths leave with a sense of belief and that there is no need to fear. “. . . Faith is something important,” he said. “It shouldn’t be taken for granted.

It shouldn’t be something rejected. It’s something that we should fully embrace.”

EXORCIST from page 1 Lampert stressed that people do not have to be afraid of demons or Satan if they have a good relationship with God. He explained that if a person’s faith is strong, then he or she is not at risk of demonic possession. Lampert went on to tell the story of Lucifer, explaining that Lucifer was created to glorify God, but because Lucifer was full of pride and wanted to be the supreme authority, he fell down to Hell, taking the angels who followed him.

Lampert said that Lucifer and the angels cannot be forgiven because they knew the natural order of things and they rejected it. He also said that Lucifer and the angels who fell with him try to trick people who have a strong relationship with God because in the end, those people will join God in Heaven when they die.

Lampert said this cannot happen for Satan or the demons, however.

Lampert said that while demons, with their intuition, can deduce what people are thinking, they cannot read minds and neither can Satan. He also explained that

possession is not contagious, and demons cannot jump from one person to another, such as what happens at the end of “The Exorcist” film. He also said that even under possession, the soul of the person remains free.

Lampert said possession only happens when a person allows evil into his or her life. This can happen in six ways. If a person is tied to the occult, he or she is allowing evil to enter his or her life. If a person is weak in his or her faith and a curse is placed on him or her, then this allows demonic possession to take place.

Lampert told the story of how a girl in Rome was dedicated to a demon and therefore possessed. Her mother had not wanted her, and after a failed abortion, the mother pledged the girl to Satan.The girl finally ran away from home and had an exorcism performed on her. This broke the ties to Satan and freed her. Lampert said she now is a religious sister and helps homeless children and teens.

Habitual sin, which includes indulg-

baptismal promise to reject Satan. The person is then shown the crucifix, and the sign of the cross is made over the person.

A supplicating prayer is made, asking God to strengthen the person, followed by an imperative prayer, commanding the demon to leave the person.

The imperative prayer is repeated until the demon submits. Lampert said demons can have varying degrees of strength, and there can be more than one in a person. He told the story of one woman who had seven demons in her, and when he demanded their names, they all spoke at once out of her mouth.

Lampert said when a demon gives up its name, it is showing weakness.

When the demons are gone, a prayer of thanks is made to God. Lampert said the average exorcism lasts 30 minutes.

Lampert then asked for questions.

He explained during this section of the lecture that demons can speak in any language, that an exorcism cannot be performed on a person unless it is

Football crowned GLVC Champions

Greyhounds complete goal of winning their third-straight conference championship, hold steady in regional rankings

By AJ Rose SPORTS EDITOR For the third-consecutive year, the University of Indianapolis football team was crowned champions of the Great Lakes Valley Conference on Saturday, Nov. 8 after defeating the Missouri S&T Miners on the road 30-12.

The championship-clinching victory not only provided UIndy with its third-straight trophy, but also extended its record in the GLVC to a perfect 22-0 since the sport was added to the conference in 2012.

The victory also kept the Greyhounds’ playoff hopes alive, as a loss could have possibly dropped the team out of advancing-contention in the NCAA Super Region Four Rankings.

Headed into this past weekend, the Greyhounds represented the only GLVC program in the top-ten, holding the fifth position out of 42 teams in the region.

At the conclusion of the regular season, only six teams from each region are allowed to advance to the 24-team playoff tournament, which the Greyhounds have accomplished in each of the last two seasons.

In their victory over the Miners, the Greyhounds opened up with a statistically-dominant first half, scoring 14 unanswered points before heading into halftime.

The first touchdown came off a 2-yard touchdown run by redshirt senior running back Matt Ripp in the first quarter, while the second was claimed by freshman tight end Alex Kimack, who made the five-yard touchdown grab thrown by redshirt junior quarterback Connor Barthel.

In the second half, Ripp added to the Greyhounds’lead, by rushing into the end zone from 14 yards out, giving UIndy a 21-0 advantage. Later in the third quarter, the Miners got on the board for the first time of the contest with a 3-yard touchdown run, but failed to convert the extra point attempt, making the score 21-6.

Senior kicker Scott Miller would close out the quarter with a successful kick from 35 yards out, and heading into the fourth, UIndy led 24-6.

In the fourth quarter, Miller continued to help secure the Greyhounds’ lead with two more field goals, including one at the start of the quarter from 39 yards away, and

the other towards the end from 33 yards.

The Miners would find the end zone one last time with a 7-yard touchdown pass towards the start of the quarter, but it was not enough to bring them within contention of claiming the lead, as the Greyhounds claimed the victory and conference title.

Prior to its contest with Missouri S&T, the Greyhounds had an unusually long break away from competition, as they hosted the Saint Joseph’s College Pumas on Thursday night football the week before on Oct. 30, winning after four overtimes, 36-33.

The night was an historic moment in the program’s history, as the game was televised nationally on CBS Sports Network for its NCAA Division II Football Game of the Week.

It was the first time the Greyhounds had ever appeared on national television, and the game lived up to its title with a close and unusual finish.

After leading 7-0 heading into the second half, the Greyhounds allowed the Pumas to claim the lead for the first time with 2:32 remaining in the third quarter, 10-7.

After Miller knotted up the score at 10 with a 33-yard field goal at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Saint Joseph’s reclaimed its lead once again, 17-10, with a two-yard run into the end zone with 10:17 to go in the game.

On a last-minute drive at the end of the quarter, however, Barthel led the Greyhounds down the field and threw a two-yard touchdown pass with just 59 seconds remaining in the game to redshirt senior wide receiver Logan Young.

After three-straight overtime periods where neither team could outscore the other, the Greyhounds were presented an opportunity in the fourth overtime to seal the victory, after Saint Joseph’s failed to convert on its opportunity to score any points.

The failed opportunity by the Pumas led to 35-yard field goal attempt by Miller, and the senior kicker came through in the clutch moment, hitting the kick straight through the uprights which sealed the victory.

As the kick went through, nearly the entire UIndy team and student section stormed the field to surround Miller and celebrate the close victory over an in-state rival. It was a moment that Miller said he

“I’ve been waiting for this [hitting a game-winning field goal] for four years.

I’ve never really gotten a chance [for this type of opportunity],” he said. “I knew right when I kicked it, it went in. I was telling guys on the sideline to meet me at the 50-yard line and that I’d sprint that way, and everyone was right there.

It was awesome.”

Head Football Coach Bob Bartolomeo said that the victory was positively significant to UIndy and the program together.

“I think it [the victory] is great for the university itself, anytime you can showcase your university on national TV,” he said. “It [the game being played on a Thursday] made it tough on us, because it was a short week. We hung in there, and did what we had to do. In terms of the national thing, you can’t pay for this advertisement.”

The Greyhounds will return to Key Stadium for its regular season finale this Saturday, Nov. 15, to host the William Jewell College Cardinals. Kickoff is set to take place at 4 p.m.

Men’s soccer claims first-ever GLVC championship

By Laken Detweiler STAFF WRITER

For the first time in history, the University of Indianapolis men’s soccer won the Great Lakes Valley Conference championship on Nov. 9.

The Greyhounds faced off against Quincy University, defeating the Hawks 3-1 for the title.

The team’s record before heading into the championship game was 11-53, which included a 1-0 loss to Quincy earlier in the season.

Prior to the victory, Head Coach John Higgins explained that the regular season standings and matches did not matter when it came to conference time.

“Even early this year the talk was always about winning that conference tournament. It didn’t matter where we finished in the league as long as we go and we win that conference tournament,” Higgins said. “The goal for us now is to send our seniors out with a win and as champions. Our seniors deserve that end to their careers for all the sacrifice they have made for the program.”

The team achieved that as it handed the number one seed Hawks their first loss of the season.

Senior back Max Rohda scored the first goal of the game with a header in the 21st minute and senior forward Ngwese Ebangwese scored the second goal with a header in the 28th minute. Both goals were assisted with corner kicks from junior forward Zak Mitiche.

In the second half, the Hawks brought the game score to 2-1 in the 48th minute, but the Greyhounds pulled their lead

The Greyhounds were the sixth seed coming into the championship tournament, becoming the lowest seed in conference history to win the GLVC championship.

Prior to the win, the Greyhounds also upset then ranked No. 17 Drury University 1-0 on Nov. 7.

The first half of the game was scoreless

and it was not until there were less than four minutes in regulation that redshirt junior midfielder Casey Zimmerman scored the game winning goal against the Panthers.

The Greyhounds had previously fallen to Drury in the regular season by a score of 1-0.

After that regular season loss, the Greyhounds revamped their field positioning, according to junior forward Daniel Wellmann. Before going into the

semi-final game against Drury,Wellmann was confident the outcome of the game would be much different.

“I think it’s going to be a difference maker for the game on Friday, that we changed our shape and did a pretty good job in the last couple of games, in that shape in the midfield,” Wellmann said.

“Looking back at that game we lost against Drury, I think we would have played better if we would have already played that shape.

So I’m actually looking forward [to the

game], and kind of excited playing those tactics against them [Drury] to see how they react against us.”

During the weekend before, on Sunday, Nov. 2, the Greyhounds defeated the third-seeded University of Missouri-St. Louis Tritons, 2-0, in the quarterfinal round of the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament.

Junior back Brendon Widau started the quarterfinal match game against Missouri-St. Louis with a goal for the Hounds at the 3-minute mark.

Widau put UIndy on the board by heading a chip in from junior midfielder Leo Cunningham. UIndy had six shots and one corner kick in the first half, but only one made it past the Tritons’ goalie, making the score 1-0 at the half.

The Greyhounds would not score again until the 74th minute in the second half. The goal came from Widau once again, after picking up a loose ball on a rebound from senior forward Ebangwese’s shot. Widau’s two goals were his first and second goals of the season.

The Greyhounds finished the game with 14 shots, while the Tritons followed right behind them with 13. Each team had five opportunities on corner kicks, but neither could capitalize on those opportunities.

Redshirt senior goalkeeper Andrew Verhonik took the win in goal, saving seven shots during the match. The match would end in a 2-0 victory for the Greyhounds, which advanced them to the semifinal match of the tournament.

Volleyball claims two straight home matches

By AJ Rose & Shane Collins-Yosha SPORTS EDITOR & DISTRIBUTION MANAGER In its final regular season match of the year on Saturday, Nov. 8, the University of Indianapolis volleyball team swept the Bellarmine University Knights to take another conference victory on Senior Day. During the match against the Knights, UIndy statistically dominated Bellarmine in each set, which led to the clean sweep.

The Greyhounds held a comfortable lead in each set, with the only close moment between both teams taking place during the second, when the score was tied at 12.

The Greyhounds were led in their victory by junior outside hitter Hailey Brown, who contributed a team-high 17 kills for UIndy.

Senior setter Meghan Binkerd contributed her typical team-high 38 assists, while senior outside hitter Arielle Knafel finished second in kills behind Brown with 14 of her own. Defensively, senior defensive specialist Kimberly Trojan led the way for the Greyhounds, with a total of 17 digs in the match.

On the night before their final home match, the Greyhounds played host to the University of Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles, and came out victorious 3-1.

Despite a statistically dominating first set, which UIndy claimed 25-15, the Greyhounds allowed USI to seize momentum in the second and win 2521. The Screaming Eagles carried their momentum into the beginning of the third set, but following a timeout by Head Volleyball Coach Jason Reed, whose squad trailed 12-7 at that time, UIndy adjusted and took back control of the match.

During that timeout, Reed said the coaches expressed one message to the team that motivated them to victory in the set.

“We kind of said, ‘Let’s settle down, and get back to doing things right each play,’” he said. “It was more of a calming and [saying], ‘Lets go out there and do our job. One point at a time, and lets meet them at 20 [points]. We don’t have to do it [take complete control] all at once, and that’s what helped get the momentum back on our side. And at that point, that’s going to help the volleyball. So it all kind of feeds together.”

Following the message from the coaching staff, the Greyhounds went on to edge

Baseball raises money during charity game

By Robbie Hadley BUSINESS MANAGER

The University of Indianapolis baseball team braved the cold and wind outside to put on its first-ever costume game for a charitable cause on Oct. 31.

Each player on the team dressed up in a costume of their choice and competed in a short mock baseball game.

Owen Mahan, a child who has been a part of the UIndy baseball roster through TeamIMPACT since February, attended that day, sporting a Spiderman costume to support his team and the charity of the Indiana Children’s Wish Fund.

Head Baseball Coach Gary Vaught, wearing a pink outfit with matching lipstick, said that the game was more than just about having fun.

“We don’t do it for publicity,” he said.

“A couple of the guys [from the team] came to me and said, ‘Coach, can we do a Halloween game?’ I said, ‘If we are going to do it, we are going to do it for a purpose. That’s what our school is about.’

I’m proud of the guys. I’m proud that they understand that it’s more than picking up a baseball and playing for the school.

They came here to get an education, so they can give back.”

Owen, as a beneficiary of TeamIMPACT, was devoted to raising money to help other children who are less fortunate.

TeamIMPACT’s goal is to take children who have gone through great hardship, typically life-threatening and chronic illnesses, and pair them up with collegiate athletic teams.

The other charity supported at the game was the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which has a similar goal of granting terminally ill children and their parents a fun experience to which otherwise they would not have access.

“Today we raised over $1,000,”Vaught said.“We [have] presented a check already, but I know we still have more money coming in.”

As a result of the publicity from a nationwide commercial shot on the UIndy baseball diamond for the Greyhounds’ recent charitable efforts, noted voice

actor Philip Hayes wrote to the team to show his support. Hayes is known for his role in several different works such as “Unforgiven,” “Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog” and “Sabrina, the Animated Series.” An autographed picture of the actor was presented to Owen prior to the start of the game.

The game itself continued outdoors that Halloween afternoon, despite the uncooperative weather. Team members dressed as Luigi, Richard Nixon, Power Rangers, an astronaut, a giant banana and many others took the field for the charitable event.

The combination of clumsy hits and runs, or tags, left the crowd at the event that afternoon entertained and laughing.

Plays lasted for several minutes on the field, as the team allowed themselves to be informal in the less-than-structured game.

Pickles would leave one player or another running between bases for long periods of time, while an assortment of other players attempted to chase them down for the out.

Junior second baseman Anthony Asalon, who dressed as the President of the United States, with two other players, who portrayed secret service agents, said that all of the players on the team understood that the game was played for an important purpose.

“This was all about having a little fun with Owen. He’s gone through a lot lately, and I think it’s good for him to be around a bunch of goofballs like us. I had a blast,” he said. “You can’t not have fun out here with these guys. It’s good to get out there and not make a mockery of the game, but still have a little fun.”

The team played two full innings, with each team member, including Owen, getting a chance at bat before the game was called. No score was kept by the team for the event.

Vaught and Asalon both said that they hope to continue hosting the festive game in the future as an annual event for the program.

The Greyhound baseball team will open there season in Dahlonega, Ga. at the University of North Georgia on Feb. 13 2015.

the Screaming Eagles in the third set, 25-23, and claimed the match altogether with more ease in the fourth, 25-19.

According to Knafel, there were changes for her and her teammates in the third set that sparked their rebound.

“Our team dynamic changed a lot,” she said. “We realized that we were being complacent and that we really wanted this win.”

With the regular season behind them, the Greyhounds enter the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship Tournament with favorable expectations as champions of the GLVC East.

According to Reed, he is confident in the Greyhounds’ postseason potential, because he believes his team has yet to play its best volleyball.

“We haven’t peaked yet, and that’s a positive,” he said. “We have played some really good volleyball at times this year, but I wouldn’t say that we have been on all cylinders for an entire weekend. So that’s still something to look forward to.

We’re getting there, [and] we have room to improve for sure.”

The Greyhounds will start postseason play against the University of MissouriSt. Louis Tritons tomorrow at 2:30 p.m.

>> Interstellar is a joyride from the first roll of the camera. The plot, acting and cinematography are all masterfully done. Director Christopher Nolan has created a movie that perfectly melds action and concepts. Much of the movie flows along the same vein as Stanley Kubrick’s classic “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Right from the beginning, the characters all come to life in dramatic fashion thanks to acting from Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and Matt Damon.

The relationship between Cooper (McConaughey) and his daughter Murph (Mackenzie Foy) create palpable emotion that is impossible to ignore. The extra five dollars for IMAX allows this movie to be experienced in its full beauty. Scientifically accurate scenes of black holes, wormholes, rouge waves and even empty space are awe inspiring to view. With underlying themes of love and hope for the human race,“Interstellar”is destined to be a classic and listed among the greatest of all time.

>> Taylor Swift’s new album “1989,” is definitely my favorite album that she has released. From the very first song to the last, this album put me in a great mood, and I have listened to it nonstop since I bought it on Oct. 27.The first song, “Welcome To New York,” is an upbeat start for the album, and it is hard not to dance along. Two of my favorite songs include “Style” and “I Wish You Would.”

Swift wrote every song on “1989,” except a few songs with collaboration. A couple of people with whom she collaborated include Imogean Heap and Ryan Tedder.

She collaborated with Heap on “Clean,” which is only on the Deluxe Edition sold at Target. Overall, I am extremely happy with this album. I have always been a big fan of Swift, and her transition from country to pop was definitely necessary for this album. Even though it is different from her past albums, it is one of her strongest by far. I look forward to what Swift will do next.

>> Right off of Monument Circle is Giorgio’s Pizza. I immediately felt like Giorgio’s provided a calm retreat in busy and bustling downtown Indianapolis.The restaurant itself looks like what an actual Italian pizza parlor should look like. The music included a range of songs from back in the 1970s to much more modern songs from 2014. Giorgio’s operates on a pizzaby-the-slice method. So I ordered one slice of the Supreme Pizza and a regular breadstick. After I ordered, I found a table and talked with a friend until our food was delivered. Giorgio’s delivers the food fresh out of the oven, so let your food sit for a bit before digging in. Out of all of the pizza-by-the-slice restaurants, Giorgio’s impressed me the most. The flavors of the pizza blended well, and the breadstick was just as delicious. One downside is that refills on drinks cost 25 cents for a regular drink and 50 cents for a large. But if you are looking for affordable pizza, look no further.

>> “The Slow Regard of Silent Things” is a short book by Patrick Rothfuss that revolves around the mysterious life of Auri, who is a character in the “Kingkiller Chronicles.” The first book in the chronicles, which was released in April 2007, was the first place Auri was introduced. In the first pages of the novel, we are watching the story unfold through Auri’s lens, revealing her curious nature and absurd reasoning. Auri, who lives her life down in the abandoned underground floors of the university, seems to give every inanimate object around her a personified significance such as a name, a specific place where it belongs and even attributed feelings. I was fascinated with Rothfuss’ unique literary style and words that flow and resonate in an almost melodic pattern.

There is an authenticity in his writing that reflects the emotions of the story, making it pleasant to read. However, the story is not engaging enough to carry your interest through the very last pages.

SIMON SKJODT INTERNATIONAL ORANGUTAN CENTER ADVENTURES

>> The Indianapolis Zoo’s new exhibit opened in May, but I only recently got around to going. The Simon Skjodt International Orangutan Center is home to eight orangutans. The eight are Basan, Azy, Charly, Katy, Knobi, Rocky, Nicky and Lucy. The exhibit boasts a threelevel main sanctuary for the orangutans to gather, as well as two separate oases where orangutans can go to be alone.

When I was there, Basan was playing in a box in one of the oases. Meanwhile, his friends were enjoying a Saturday in the sanctuary. “Lightning Lucy,” named for her speed, looked me in the eye. It was a surreal feeling, and I felt a genuine connection with her.Then she started to pick her nose and eat what she found. After my disgust died down, I once again felt connected with her. I strongly recommend that everyone make a trip to the Simon Skjodt International Orangutan Center whenever you got an opportunity. It is well worth the admission price.

Faculty Artist Concert Series continues ‘Baroque and Beyond’ plays different types of classical music with faculty

By Kyle Dunbar ART DIRECTOR The Faculty Artist Concert Series concert “Baroque and Beyond” was held in the Ruth Lilly Performance Hall in the Christel DeHaan Fine Art Center on Nov. 3. The performance featured a medley of classic Baroque pieces, as well as a couple of more modern arrangements.

The performance began with a “Fanfare: a boundless moment,” composed

by Associate Professor of Theory and Composition John Berners, which was originally created for the inauguration of UIndy President, Robert Manuel.

It was performed by Marko Petričić on bayan, Thomas Gerber on organ, Scotty Stepp on soprano saxophone and Erika Matson on soprano saxophone.

The second set to be played was the first three dance songs of Jean-Philippe Rameau’s “Nouvelles Suites: Suite in A minor.” Gerber played the suite on the classic Baroque instrument, the harpsichord.The Baroque Rameau was featured heavily throughout the evening, as this year is the 250th anniversary of his death.

The next set were three songs played on the organ. They were “Canzon I ‘La

Spiritata’” by Giovanni Gabrieli, “Canzona 4”by Johann Kaspar Kerll and “Fugue and Caprice sur le masme sujet, No.2” by Francois Roberday.

Before playing the pieces Petričić explained how he was able to achieve the wide range of tones even on the small organ that was used.

The next set, the second part of the “Suite in A minor,” returned to the composer Rameau, and was played by Gerber on the harpsichord.These pieces featured a more technical performance, including the song “Les Trois Mains,” in which the musician crosses their hands over one another in quick succession.

Junior psychology major Dylan Linton said he thought Gerber “played it very well and liked the speed and the way he played it.” The song was followed up by Fanfarinette and La Triomphante.

The fourth set, played once again by Petričić on the organ, featured two songs “Caprice in D”by Gottlieb Muffat and “Le Coucou”by Louis-Claude Daquin.These two pieces were especially representational of the style of the Baroque period.

Gerber concluded Rameau’s “Suite in A minor,”with “Gavotte and Six Doubles.”

As the name implies, it is a collection of six different versions of the same piece, each having a distinctive mood.

Following the conclusion of Rameau’s piece, Petričić played “Sonata No. 1” by Vyatcheslav Semyonov, which was one of the non-Baroque pieces, composed in 1984. The piece was played on a bayan, a type of Russian accordion.

This piece had an emotional connection for the performer, who had not played the piece in its entirety since playing it in Italy during his youth, before he came to the United States.

His performance demonstrated that he understood the piece both on a physical and emotional level.

“He’d [Petričić] start slow but then speed up, and he’d really get into it,” said junior athletic training major Brad Kovert.

“It is amazing how fast he could get with the buttons [of the accordion].”

While much of the concert was in honor of the 250th anniversary of Rameau’s death, it also marked the 300th anniversary of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach’s birth, so in honor of him the concert concluded with “Vier kleine Duette Fur Zwei Claviere, Wq 115,” with Gerber playing the harpsichord, and Petričić playing the organ.

The next FACS will be on Nov. 17 at 7:30 p.m. in Ruth Lilly Performance Hall. The concert, entitled “Classics to Moderns,” is free to the public.

Fitz and The Tantrums come to Indy

Band opens with Big Data and draws packed crowd in Egyptian Room

By Kylee Crane MANAGING EDITOR

The Egyptian Room at the Old National Centre was packed as the neo soul/ indie rock band Fitz and The Tantrums played in Indianapolis on Nov. 4.

Fitz and The Tantrums began their music career in 2008 and released their first album, “Pickin’ Up the Pieces,” in 2010. After signing with Elektra Records in 2013, the band released its second album, “More Than Just a Dream” in May of 2013.

The concert began with the opening band Big Data, which currently holds a spot on the billboard charts with its alternative hit “Dangerous.”

Big Data recently began their career in music, releasing their first EP titled “1.0” in October 2013. Their first album, “2.0,” is scheduled for release this fall.

Big Data played for 45 minutes, introducing the audience to their electronic music before playing their hit.

Fitz and The Tantrums came out shortly after, and the crowd immediately went wild.

Sophomore exercise science major Erin Connor, one of several UIndy

students to attend the show, said it was exciting to see one of her favorite bands.

“I really enjoy their music, and I love having the chance to hear some of my favorite artists live. They are an upbeat indie group, which I like, and their music is unique because it is inspired by many different styles but still meshes well,” Connor said. “There was so much energy in the room, and people were getting into the music and dancing. I think that’s what makes the Egyptian Room such a great venue, because everyone is standing together and it creates a cool interaction between everyone in the crowd and with the band members themselves.”

Some students, such as sophomore community health education major, Mallory Traver, had already seen the band on previous tours. Traver said she was still amazed.

“This was my second time attending a Fitz concert, and I would say it was just as good, if not better, than the first time,” Traver said. “They just give an amazing concert and they definitely did not disappoint. I could listen to their music on the radio any day, but just to experience their energy is indescribable.”

The band played songs from both albums including “Out of My League,”

“Fools Gold” and “House on Fire” before exiting the stage.

The band’s encore performance included the songs “MoneyGrabber” and current hit, “The Walker,” which can be heard on various commercials and is the song Ellen DeGeneres lip dubbed for the 2014 Oscars.

Connor said that the encore performance made the experience unforgettable.

“My favorite part of the show was either their cover of ‘Sweet Dreams’ halfway into the show or the encore, which included confetti,” Connor said. “I loved the ‘Sweet Dreams’ cover because everyone was singing and dancing, and Fitz got the crowd involved with singing back and forth. The encore was amazing and a true testament to how much everyone enjoyed the show. Hearing the crowd cheering so crazily, the lights, dancing and confetti flying everywhere was definitely a memorable experience.”

From those who are somewhat acquainted with the band to those who know all the lyrics to every song, Traver said that every fan should attend a show.

“Everyone who is a Fitz and The Tantrums fan should see them once in their lifetime,” Traver said. “It makes you appreciate and love their music even more.”

Sean Imboden, along with his quartet, plays a set in CDFAC Ruth Lilly Performance Hall. He has been touring around the world for several years, as well as making numerous television and broadway appearances.

Jazz Concert Series continues with native Indianapolis saxophonist

By Dallas Thacker STAFF WRITER Indianapolis native saxophonist Sean Imboden brought his quartet to the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center as part of the Jazz Concert Series on Oct. 29 at 7:30 p.m.

The Concert Series is organized by Grace Labens in the Fine Arts department. She worked to get the Saxophonist and his quartet to the University of Indianapolis.

The 20142015 UIndy Calendar of Cultural Events gave a brief biography on S ean Imboden.

“Sean Imboden has toured internationally for several years with various Broadway productions and has performed on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” and with the Radio City Music Hall Orchestra, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, the Temptations, Barry Manilow and Johnny Mathis,” according to the calender.“He holds a bachelor’s degree in music from Indiana University and a master’s degree from Queens College.”

The composer has a lengthy resume, having performed all over the world.

A number of students were excited to

see someone so experienced perform at the university.

“Honestly, the only reason I came to the concert was to take care of some missing LP credits that I need,” said senior biology and chemistry major Tyler Glanz.“But I was surprised how well Sean Imboden performed and how experienced he really is.”

Many of the numbers kept the audience wanting more. Even students who did not have a lot of previous experience with jazz enjoyed the performance.

“I have never been to a jazz performance, or ever really listened to jazz for that matter,” said freshman nursing major Maria Geise.

Geise was not expecting the concert to be enjoyable and has some regrets for missing the other concerts held as part of the concert series in Christel DeHaan.

“I did not expect to enjoy it or have as much fun as I did at the concert . . .

I wished I would have gone to more of the Jazz Concert Series. I did not know it was this good,” Geise said.

The next Jazz Concert Series performance will be on Feb. 18 at 7:30 p.m. in Ruth Lilly Performance Hall and will be hosting saxophonist Matt Pivec.

“I did not expect to enjoy it or have as much fun as I did at the concert ... I wished I would have gone to more of the Jazz Concert Series. I did not know it was this good”

doing and what we’re hoping to do in the future,” Offutt said. “We really are that platform for them [students]…. If it is within our power, we will definitely do things to make them happen.”

Campus Program Board Vice President Maggie Paul, a senior exercise science major, said she wanted something more than going to class and coming home.

In her sophomore year, she was a general body member of CPB, and then the vice president the following year. Paul serves as the organization’s acting president for the 2014 - 2015 school year, CPB has discontinued looking for a president.

When she is not in the CPB office, Paul also serves as a leader on the UIndy campus through positions such as peer mentor for the new student experience classes and chair for the 2014 Homecoming Committee. Juggling all her leadership areas, Paul credits Google calendars and balance of life and work to maintaining all her roles.

“People always talk about time management, but it’s not just about being able to manage it, it’s also about understanding yourself and knowing when to say no,” Paul said. “Balance is a really important part of that, but I need to make sure I make time for myself.”

From the start of her freshman year, junior international relations and political science double major, and Residence Hall Association President Rae Junard wanted to make a difference. She was director of programming for RHA, a position that oversees and helps with all events. That was only the beginning for Junard, who

Out of more than 20 registered student organizations that look to serve special interests at the University of Indianapolis, three major RSOs look serve the entire student body. They are Indianapolis Student Government, Residence Hall Association and Campus Program Board.

ISG, RHA and CPB are the big three RSOs that together aim to serve the campus community by listening to and addressing their needs.

ISG is the political voice for the student body on campus and is led by senior marketing major and communication minor Tyler Offutt for the 2014-2015 school year. Offutt, who has a passion for public relations and marketing, started in ISG as the public relations chair. Offutt gradually took on leadership roles throughout his term as PR chair. When former ISG President DyNishia Miller graduated, he decided to run for the position.

Because of his high school years as a link leader (high school freshman mentor) and student council member, Offutt is not new to leadership.

Offutt aims to gain a representation of the student body’s voice by using the Student Senate as a bridge to connect the students’ issues to administration. Offutt said Student Senate was created last year

by ISG to gain a more collective voice of the students on campus. “[We want] to continue to educate people about what we’ve done, what we’re

continued her position the following year.

Junard gained a broader prospective about what it takes to be a leader when she interned for Sixth District Congressmen Luke Messer.

Knowing that she wanted to make a difference when she came back to campus by using the leadership skills learned in Washington, D.C., Junard said she interviewed to become RHA president via FaceTime.

“I learned how to delegate, when to say no and how to work with others,” Junard said.

Each of these student leaders has used his or her skills as a leader on campus to prepare for the future.

Offutt said his ISG presidency has opened a new side of networking. He has been offered two internship positions, one of which will turn into a full-time position.

Paul said she wants to pursue a career in employee wellness and corporate fitness, knowing now the process of planning an event, being able to negotiate contracts, and communicating on a large scale.

Junard said that while she realizes RHA may not be what she intends to pursue as a career, she is able to excel in many other areas thanks to the RSO. “I don’t want to always be wrapped in foreign policies. I want to be able to excel in something else,” Junard said. “That’s what we’re all doing—event planning, looking at budgets, learning how to work with other people.These are all important skills for when we move past the barriers of guidelines.”

Student to travel 11 countries said about mission trips, nationally and internationally, and having been on a few mission trips in high school, she began to want to go on a trip of her own. She wanted to use her degree to help others through environmental mission work.

“I am definitely excited to help people, but I am more excited to create relationships while doing it,” Debaun said. “It’s not just me going and serving people.

It’s me changing as a person while I am doing it, too. I don’t have a checklist that I want to fulfill and all of these sorts of things. I felt called to do that.”

The World Race relies on relationships with host partners in each country.

These host partners may be churches, nonprofit organizations, schools, orphanages or other ministries. Debaun gained experience in this type of relationship throughout high school and college, and she feels prepared to represent organizations that are on the ground year round.

As a college student, Debaun made the decision to drop out of college for two semesters.

“My parents don’t really agree with my decision. They think I should finish college before I ever do something like this.

But the good thing is that they are coming around,” Debaun said. “My friends,

Many students plan to face the real world upon graduation with business suits and briefcases, but this is not the case for junior environmental science and sustainability double major Gwen Debaun. Instead of stocking up on professional attire, Debaun bought a sleeping bag, packed a backpack, and signed up for a great adventure: The World Race.

The World Race is a ministry that sends missionaries to 11 countries over the span of 11 months. The small teams are made up of six to 10 people, ranging in age from 21 to 40, and there are routes all over the world. Although each team sets out with a specific route assignment, that is subject to change for various reasons. Debaun will spend one month each in the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Haiti, Swaziland, Botswana and South Africa.

For Debaun, everything started last fall when she went to Washington, D.C. with the Lugar Academy, where she was associated with a church dedicated to helping others. After hearing what members

though, are being very supportive with my idea, and that really helps me continue.”

When the mission is completed in 11 months, Debaun said that she is not sure whether she will come back to finish her bachelor’s degree. She said that depends on whether she enjoys the experience to which she currently looks forward.

The trip is costly. Debaun said she was tasked with raising almost $17,000 and still has about $12,000 to go. This cost covers food, lodging, travel, training, debriefing and more.

Raising the funds is a crucial part of the journey. Because of this, monetary donations play a large part in her goal to achieve her dream.

Debaun has a fundraising site and blog, which allows people to donate money to help her financially, and in meeting the December and June deadlines that were given. She does not have to have all the money before she leaves for the trip Debaun said she can continue to raise funds while abroad.

People can follow Debaun’s adventure, see what country she is in and help her cause by going to her blog site at: gwendebaun.theworldrace.org. The World Race launches three times a year, and Debaun’s trip is scheduled to begin in January.

Fiction writer Jeffrey Condran visited the University of Indianapolis as a part of the Kellogg Writers Series on Nov. 5. Condran wrote the novel “Prague Summer,” which was released this year, and “A Fingerprint Repeated,” which was released in 2013. He will tour a number of cities in the United States next year.

Jeffrey Condran speaks about new book at Kellogg Writers

By Kayleigh Jordan STAFF WRITER

Fiction writer Jeffrey Condran made an appearance at the Kellogg Writers Series at the University of Indianapolis’ in the Schwitzer Student Center, Room 010 on Nov. 5. The event, hosted by the UIndy English 478 course Literary Arts Programming, took place from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.

According to the biography provided on the UIndy event calendar, Condran is the author of the novel “Prague Summer,” published in 2014 and the short story collection “A Fingerprint Repeated,” published in 2013.

His work has been honored with several awards, including The Missouri Review’s William Peden Prize and Pushcart Prize nominations. He lives in Pittsburgh where he is involved with multiple jobs.

“I am an assistant professor of English at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and a creative writer on staff, but then I also cofounded Braddock Avenue Books, which is an independent literary publisher of novels and short fiction,”Condran said.

He also said that he does a little bit of everything at Braddock Avenue Books, but he is mostly the acquisitions editor.

Condran, who had a full house at the

event, expressed his pleasure in reading “Prague Summer”at UIndy and answering questions from the audience.

“I thought it [the audience] was wonderful. It’s always great to look out and see a full crowd, especially since that was a pretty big room,” Condran said. “You can tell when an audience is engaged, when they’re laughing at the funny parts, and so it was a very responsive audience.”

Condran kept his expectations for the reading open, since this was not his first.

“I had no expectations whatsoever,” he said. “If you do 10 readings, six of them will be wonderful and four of them will be complete disasters, and you just never know which it’s going to be.”

Condran has traveled to Washington D.C., Boston, New York, Cleveland and many other cities in the United States since “Prague Summer”came out. He said that going to a reading has many benefits.

“Part of it is that when you write a book and have it published, it’s fun and engaging to go and meet the people who might be your readers a little bit,” he said.

“There’s some writers who don’t enjoy reading, but I do. I’ve found that it’s a really great way to engage somebody who’s maybe thinking about buying your book but isn’t sure because, you know, books are expensive. So if I can come out and make them feel like I write to them, and they feel that connection to me and towards

the book differently than they would on their own, then, obviously, that helps to sell the book.”

Senior political science major Kaylie Pickett said that more people should go to KWS and recommended reading the author’s work before coming.

“When you read a book, it becomes a part of your own life, and then to have the person up there that created those memories, essentially memories, for you . . . it’s a cool experience,” she said.

Poet, English Professor and Founder of the KWS Elizabeth Weber emphasizes the importance of KWS to the public.

“I used to teach, and I’ll probably teach it again, [English] 102, Western World Literature. I give my students extra credit if they go [to KWS] and write up what they thought about it,” she said. “A lot of them [the students] thought that it was going to be really boring and [say] that they wouldn’t have gone unless I had given them credit. Afterwards, they say they really liked it, better than they thought they would, and they would do it again. So, in other words, give it a chance.”

The final reading of the first semester will be today at 7 p.m. in UIndy Hall A in the Schwitzer Student Center. The reading will feature journalist Senior Writer at Sports Illustrated George Dorhmann. LP credit will be available to those who attend.

New honors course combines research with the paranormal

By Nicole Monday ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR

A new course is being added to the Honors College at the University of Indianapolis. The course, HON 480: Logic and Reasoning: The Academic Perspective of Paranormal Activity, is interdisciplinary and covers a wide variety of subjects. Ann O’Connor-Ledbetter, a faculty adjunct who will come to UIndy to teach the course, is very excited about it.

“What I think is so interesting about UIndy is that they’re willing to identify the fact that college students have different interests, not like this cookie-cutter, ‘Math 101’ type of course that we used to take,” O’Connor-Ledbetter said. “[This course is] an opportunity to have fun and take academic research and couple it with something that we are all interested in.”

Assistant Professor of Geology Christopher Moore, along with sharing his time between the department of anthropology and department of earth-space sciences, is currently the interim executive director of the Honors College. Moore said that his job is making courses such as HON 480 come to life.

“We want to have a unique experience for our honors students at both the sort of co-curricular realm, but also in their actual curriculum,” Moore said. “It’s my job to make sure that we have a curriculum, we have courses our students can take, and those course are exciting, engaging, and something a little bit different from what is going on in the rest of the university.”

Even though this course is specifically designed for the Honors College, Moore said that there is a chance that other students that are not in Honors

can take it as well.

“Whether we allow folks who aren’t honors into the class depends on how many enroll,” Moore said. “So if there are folks who are really interested in taking this class, then they should keep an eye on it and during that drop/add week in the spring semester.If there are some seats that haven’t been filled in there, I would consider letting folks in.”

O’Connor-Ledbetter has come up with a syllabus of what the course will involve. Some things on the syllabus are specifically about the paranormal, but there are also other aspects.

“The first week we are going to be addressing actually how to write, how to pull together academic research and create empirical-style articles, how to use meta-search engines to find information, how to use the library databases and discern what is credible and what is not so credible,” O’Conner-Ledbetter said. “[We are] also teaching students to reach out to those in the professions for it, for example psychologists or religious authorities, whether it’d be a priest, a cardinal, an imam or a rabbi.”

Moore said that this course will address different aspects of the paranormal from different perspectives.

“Some of the explanations might come from quantum physics, some might come from psychology,” Moore said. “It’s very broad in the sense that it covers approaches to the paranormal in a lot of different disciplines and how those disciplines engage in the paranormal.”

According to Moore, beyond any benefit from taking a course that is interdisciplinary, this course also has a number of specific benefits.

“The major benefit to a course like this

is that it is a unique, topical experience, whereas a lot of the courses that are in the general education core are survey courses, so you take an ‘introduction to’ class and you learn a little bit about everything,” Moore said. “This takes just the opposite perspective. . . . You’re still developing all these critical thinking skills and writing and communication skills and all of those kinds of things that the general education core is meant to convey, but you get to focus in on a particular topic.”

Overall, O’Connor-Ledbetter is looking forward to being at UIndy and learning alongside the students.

“I’m excited to see what students will be finding,” O’Connor-Ledbetter said.

“This will be my first time on the UIndy campus. I’ve taught at other universities here in Indiana and Louisiana, and I am looking forward to being with your students.”

Moore is also looking forward to what this course could offer in the future. Moore hopes that this course will spark opinions not just from honors students.

“If there is adequate interest, then this is the kind of course that could be developed either on a regular recurring basis, or maybe the sections that are honors and sections that are not honors could potentially be offered down the road,” Moore said. “But if there is interest, we are certainly interested in hearing from students and their interests and how they would like to engage both in the general education core and other courses.”

The course is currently being reviewed by the General Education Core Curriculum Committee and is slated to be offered in the spring semester of 2015, in the hope that it will fulfill the social sciences requirement.

The University of Indianapolis Public Relations Student Society of America held its first Halloween-themed dodge ball tournament on Oct. 28.

Senior communication major and PRSSA President Hayley Good said PRSSA is a student organization that helps students become more professional.

“We give them connections to the Public Relations Society of America, which is for the professionals in the PR world,” Good said.“We help with networking and finding jobs and going to conferences and different luncheons.”

Good said PRSSA also holds events called Lunch with a Pro, in which a professional comes and joins students for lunch and talks about what he or she does and how he or she got started in his or her current career. Good said these events, which are every few Wednesdays, are open to anyone.

Good said PRSSA organized some dodge ball tournaments a couple of years ago, but they were not Halloween-themed.

“We wanted to do something to get campus involvement,” Good said. “We wanted to get our name out on campus and just do something fun.”

Eight teams originally signed up for the event but only seven participated.

“We weren’t really sure how many teams would sign up, just because we didn’t know how people would react to it, since none of us were really that involved when they did the last dodge ball tournament,” Good said.

Each team had a different costume

including, Huemanity, which wore all colors of the rainbow, Misfits, which had all sorts of costumes, the Minions, Superheroes, Rednecks/Hillbillies and Jersey Boys.

The winning team for best costume was the Jac Paq, which had pictures of Jackie Paquette all over each player. The winning team was determined through a Twitter contest during the event.

“I was really happy [with the outcome].

We had people come just to watch,”Good said. “Most of the teams that came, even if they got out, they ended up staying to watch and cheer on their friends.”

The tournament followed single elimination rule, which means a team is out after losing one game.

The winning team of the tournament was the Jersey Boys, who wore different football and soccer jerseys.The team consisted of students Jared Boomer, Keegan Remsburg, Joe Lenihan, Dylan Linton, Craig Banister and Jordan Beasley.

This was the first time those students had played as a team, and they were proud to win the tournament with three wins.Team members said they went into the tournament intending to win.

In the final game, the Jersey Boys played against the Superheroes, and Remsburg ended up with the winning hit.

“It [winning] was joyful. It was a great win for the team,” Remsburg said.

The Jersey Boys won gift cards to Buffalo Wild Wings and PRSSA T-shirts, courtesy of PRSSA. “We will definitely do something [an event] next semester,” Good said. “We don’t know what it is yet, but we do plan on having another event.”

“I was really happy [with the outcome]. We had people come just to watch.”

SECURITY from page 1 Money for systems such as card swiping and cameras comes from a yearly amount allocated from the university’s budget, according to Vitangeli.

Selby has many projects in the works but knows he will have to be patient.

“It’s obviously something that is not going to happen overnight. We’ve got to start on it, and we’ve started on it, and we’ll keep building on it,” Selby said.

According to Vitangeli, the system adds a layer of convenience for everyone on campus. A lost key costs a student $50, and all locks have to be changed.

If an ID card is lost, it can be taken out of the system when a new card is issued.

The cost of a new ID card is currently $25 at the student business center, and the entire system does not need to be changed when a card is lost.

“Being able to track who’s going [in and out] and if we have a lost key, we don’t have to worry about the lost keys on the entrances,” Vitangeli said. “It’s difficult if somebody loses an outside door key to recore the entire building for that lost key.”

Selby said he is happy with the improvements that have come so far. As the initiative continues he will work toward

putting in additional security cameras in parking lots. Other initiatives, as budget allows, may include moving to proximity cards.These cards do not require a person to swipe the card but merely hold it up to the reader.

“Since I’ve been here, I’ve seen us jump light years in trying to move forward on things,” Selby said. “But it’s like everything, you have to be methodical about it. . . . It’s not something you can do overnight because these types of things are expensive, and you want to make sure that you do it right from the get go, or you’re going to spend a lot more money trying to fix things.”

As the pilot programs begin in the coming weeks and next semester, Lea hopes students living in buildings with swipe systems will remain patient.

“I think right now my best piece of advice for the student body would be to be patient with the administration, residence life and the police staff while we are transferring over to this system,” Lea said. “Like all things, change is definitely good in that we just have to bear with the initial bugs and problems. It’s put into place for their benefit.”

By Matthew Schofield MCCLATCHY FOREIGN STAFF

K LEI N M AC H N OW, G e r m a n y (MCT)— The graying activist pulls up to the scant and rusted remains of the Berlin Wall’s Checkpoint Bravo on a trendy electric bike and says that when looking back over the 25 years since the wall fell, it’s important to keep perspective.

Klaus-Jurgen Warnick, 62, was here on Nov. 9, 1989, when East German guards, unsure how to deal with the thousands turning up at heavily controlled checkpoints, decided that letting people pass was a better option than opening fire.

The world changed that day. The German nation, long separated between East and West, started its road to reunification and the transformation began from a bipolar world where nuclear war seemed a real threat to one led by a single superpower.

But Warnick wants to make sure it’s understood that as the communists of the East massed to pass into the capitalist West, they weren’t trying to change the world. Most just wanted to peek at a forbidden land. They had dreams that life could, and should, be a little better. The grandiose narratives came later.

“I have friends from the old East who today can only remember that back then, they lived in a paradise, where everything was perfect inside the wall,” he said. “I also have friends from the old West who are certain that in the old days, those of us in the East walked the streets with bloody knives clenched in our teeth, spoiling for a fight, and the fall of the wall saved us.

Neither view is true.”

Warnick is still uncertain how to judge the change that came. “To be honest, if asked today, 25 years after this moment that was going to transform our lives and fulfill our dreams, I could not truthfully say whether we’re better off or not,” he said. “It’s a matter of perspective.”

Princeton to advise policies after breaching antidiscrimination laws

MCT— Princeton University violated a federal antidiscrimination law by not “promptly and equitably” responding to complaints of sexual violence, in one case allowing a sexually hostile environment to continue for one student, the U.S. Department of Education announced Wednesday, Nov. 5.

(Claudia Himmelreich/McClatchy DC/MCT) In many ways, life is better for residents of the former East in this unified nation: free speech and elections, the ability to travel, the availability of goods like Warnick’s bike and freedom from government surveillance. But in many other ways, Germany remains a nation divided, and to those from the East, the German reunification that followed the fall began to feel less like being unified than being conquered.

Today, Ossies, as residents in the former East are called, suffer from higher unemployment and are paid less than their

countrymen in the former West. Those who have retired find their pensions are significantly lower. Ossies also have far less in savings and assets.

Those economic realities in turn depress the former East further, leading to flight to the West. That means the East is graying faster and has fewer children.

Even the soccer teams are inferior; not a single professional team from the former East is in Germany’s top league, and this summer’s World Cup-winning team contained just one Ossie player.

Extremist groups hit by U.S. air strikes

By Mousab Alhamadee and Roy Gutman MCCLATCHY FOREIGN STAFF

ISTANBUL (MCT)—U.S. aircraft struck al-Qaida-linked Islamist forces fighting U.S.-backed moderate rebels Thursday, Nov. 6, in northern Syria.

Activists said the strikes were the first American action since bombing began in Syria in September that helped the rebels, whose supply lines to Turkey are in danger of being cut by the Islamists.

The U.S. Central Command denied that the airstrikes were in response to recent attacks by al-Qaida’s Syrian affiliate, the Nusra Front, on the secular rebel groups.

Instead, in a statement, Central Command said the attacks focused on what U.S. officials call the Khorasan Group, a unit of senior al-Qaida commanders who American officials claim were dispatched to Syria to plan attacks against U.S. and other Western targets.

Central Command acknowledged five strikes on Khorasan targets “in the vicinity of Sarmada,” a town near the Turkish border. “These strikes were not in response to the Nusra Front’s clashes with the Syrian moderate opposition, and they did not target the Nusra Front as a whole,” its statement said.

Anti-regime activists gave a different account. They said warplanes bombed at least 12 targets in six locations used by the Nusra Front and Ahrar al-Sham, an Islamist force allied with Nusra that also is thought to have ties to al-Qaida.

Separately, Ahrar al-Sham confirmed in a statement that one of its bases had been hit.

According to activists and anti-regime news agencies, two strikes hit Sarmada. Six targets were struck in Harem, a town west of Idlib on the Turkish border, and one was hit at Babsalqa, a village near a major border crossing to Turkey, Bab al-Hawa.

Also targeted were the villages of Khan Subbul and Kafr Dayyan in Idlib province and the village of Jamiat al-Zahra’a, west of the city of Aleppo.

The airstrikes followed Nusra’s assaults last weekend on two major U.S.-backed secular fighting groups. Both of those groups, the Syrian Revolutionaries Front and Harakat Hazm or the Hazm Movement, have received weapons under a covert program administered by the CIA. Nusra’s campaign against the groups

continued this week, with the dismantling of a fighting unit that had reported to Syrian Revolutionaries Front commander Jamal Maarouf. Nusra also set up checkpoints on roads leading to the Turkish border that could effectively close down the rebels’ main supply route.

Notably, one of the villages that the activists said was targeted Thursday, Nov. 6, Khan Subbul, had been the Hazm Movement’s base until Nusra captured it over the weekend.

Two Nusra fighters were killed in Harem, along with at least two children, activists said. In Babsalqa, a well-known fighter with Ahrar al-Sham, Abu al Nasr, was killed at an Ahrar al-Sham guesthouse, the activists said.

Ahrar al-Sham said the strikes had destroyed a base near the Bab al Hawa crossing and had killed an unspecified number of women and children.

The raids on Sarmada destroyed a car driven by a Nusra commander, but it’s not clear whether he was in it. Activists said the raids caused considerable damage to residences and shops in Harem’s city center.

Central Command said the raids there destroyed or severely damaged “several Khorasan Group vehicles and buildings assessed to be meeting and staging areas, IED-making facilities and training facilities.”

In September, Syrian rebels harshly criticized the United States for including Nusra bases among the targets when it began airstrikes in Syria aimed at the Islamic State, the radical al-Qaida offshoot that now controls much of Syria and Iraq.

Until recently, the rebels considered Nusra an ally in the fight to topple the government of President Bashar Assad, and they said the strikes against Nusra served only to strengthen the Assad government.

Despite Nusra’s recent attacks on moderate rebels, there was little open support for Thursday, Nov. 6’s airstrikes. A commander in the Syrian Revolutionaries Front, which lost its base to Nusra last weekend, called the strikes “shameful” and “a mistake.”

“Most of the victims are children and civilians. All the damage is done to private property,” the commander, Mahmoud al-Ugal, told McClatchy.

Noting the sensitive nature of the strikes, the Central Command statement was careful to note that the airstrikes

Thursday, Nov. 6 “were directed at the Khorasan Group, whose focus is not on overthrowing the Assad regime or helping the Syrian people. These al-Qaida operatives are taking advantage of the Syrian conflict to advance attacks against Western interests.”

Two senior defense officials, who spoke only anonymously because of the sensitive nature of the issue, told McClatchy that officials at the White House had added that language to the statement, as well as language denying that the airstrikes had been in response to Nusra’s attacks on the rebels. The White House said it would have no comment on what role, if any, it had had in the writing of the statement.

The role of Nusra in Syria has long been a bitter point of contention between the United States and the anti-Assad coalition. Assad opponents harshly criticized the U.S. when it declared Nusra a terrorist organization in December 2012. Rebels, including the Hazm Movement, repeated that criticism in September, after the initial airstrikes.

But for the past several days, rebel commanders have pleaded publicly for help with Nusra as it became clear that the al-Qaida affiliate was in a position to rout the U.S.-sponsored rebels and cut their supply lines.

Another new development was the targeting of Ahrar al-Sham, an Islamist force that, like Nusra, was allied with U.S.-backed rebels against the Assad regime for more than two years but that, like Nusra, has been trying to reposition itself after the rise of the most extreme Islamists of them all, the Islamic State.

Some U.S. officials have argued that Ahrar al-Sham should be declared a terrorist organization, noting that one of its key leaders was a close associate of al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.

Some rebels also have alleged that alQaida contributed money and weapons when Ahrar al-Sham was organized in early 2012.

But the group has remained off the list of official terrorist organizations. ___ (Alhamadee is a McClatchy special correspondent. Nancy A. Youssef contributed to this report from Washington.) ___ (c)2014 McClatchy Washington Bureau. Distributed by MCT Information Services

as fundamentally unequal. This year, the German Parliament passed a minimum wage law that set the bottom line lower in the old East than in the former West.

An example of what that means: In September, a new high-end shopping mall opened along what had been the wall in formerly East Berlin. Employees there earn about $1,400 a year less than employees at the mall across the street, in the former West Berlin. (c)2014 McClatchy Washington Bureau. Distributed by MCT Information Services

MEXICO CITY — Few dispute that the newly installed governor of Mexico’s Guerrero state has a radical past. The question is, just how radical?

Supporters of Gov. Rogelio Ortega Martinez, who took office two weeks ago amid a deepening crisis over the disappearance of 43 students from a rural teachers college six weeks ago, say the 59-year-old sociologist’s roots in the radical left might be just what’s needed to quell insurgent fervor in a state that’s been the cradle of numerous revolutionary movements.

West Coast warming not caused by humans

By Craig Welch THE SEATTLE TIMES

SEATTLE (MCT)—When scientists on a boat in the Gulf of Alaska pulled their net in August, they saw something stunning: a live ocean sunfish.

Mostly found in the tropics or temperate waters, these giant 6-foot-long snub-bodied creatures are incredibly rare in Alaska. And that was just the start.

Four days later, one of the same researchers saw a warm-water blue shark circling near another sunfish. Days after that, the boat hauled up yet another living sunfish.

“No one had ever talked about seeing one alive,” said Wyatt Fournier, research fish biologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “Not only did we get two aboard in one week, but my commercial fishing buddies started telling me they were bumping into them when fishing for salmon.”

The waters of the Pacific Ocean have been so unusually warm this year that fishermen and researchers from Alaska to California have spied a host of bizarre visitors, from thresher sharks that rarely make it north of Vancouver, B.C., to the northernmost recorded sighting of a skipjack tuna.

Portions of the North Pacific haven’t seen sea temperatures this high in at least a century of record-keeping. In some areas, waters are more than 5 degrees Fahrenheit above average.

“The North Pacific hasn’t been this warm ever, as far as anyone knows.

It’s really strange,” said Bill Peterson, oceanographer with NOAA’s Northwest Fisheries Science Center in Newport, Ore. “It looks like an El Nino, but it really isn’t.

We don’t really know what it is.”

For the moment, oceanographers and atmospheric scientists don’t see a link to human-caused climate change, but also say what they’ve seen doesn’t match other recognized patterns in ocean conditions.

They believe the severe warmth may well be the result of poorly understood natural variability—in this case a ridge of high pressure that kept the normally stormy Pacific unusually calm through two winters. That helped prevent cold water at depth from churning up and cooling the ocean surface.

“I don’t know that there’s much to make of this, other than you’ve got a really unusual two-winter pattern of weather than left a huge imprint on the ocean,” said Nate Mantua, with the Southwest Fisheries Science Center in California.

But, depending on how long the pattern lasts and what comes next, this

unusual warmth could have important implications for how and where sea life lives. In some cases, it already has.

The lists of strange sightings along the U.S. West Coast this year is long. Pilot whales, marlin and wahoo have been seen or caught off Southern California. A mahi mahi was caught off the Oregon coast, and an uncommon but not unheard-of sunfish washed ashore at Washington’s Cape Disappointment State Park.

Fishermen in Alaska have caught a “bumper crop” of black cod and silvery pomfrets near the coast, even though they’re usually found way out at sea.

Most striking to many was the skipjack tuna caught near the mouth of the Copper River. According to the bible of fish in that region, “Fishes of Alaska,” the only other documented sighting was in 1981 several hundred miles south in Yakutat Bay. “It’s very weird,”said Peterson.“When you haven’t seen this before in your life, you start making up stories in your head trying to understand what it all means.”

Even the tiny plants and animals that form the base of the food chain are different in some places.

“When waters stay warmer, we get waters normally found in Lower 48,” said Russ Hopcroft, a plankton expert at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. “In the samples we collected in September, we had an inundation of species that belong in the south. It was really noticeable.”

How that impacts the rest of the marine world is not yet very clear.

“Fish are developed for certain thermal regimes; when the temperature changes, so does their habitat,” said Fournier, the NOAA biologist. Temperature also “changes the location of primary food production and the metabolism of fish.

As it gets warmer, metabolism increases, and fish need more food. But is enough of it there when they need it?”

It’s too soon to say how all these changes could impact returning salmon next year and beyond. But there’s legitimate cause for concern.

“Everybody is holding their breath,” said Laurie Weitkamp, with NOAA in Oregon. “I personally have big concerns about fish that went out this year and certainly for next spring.”

Warmer years tend to mean less survival for juvenile salmon, but there’s also a timing issue, said Jamal Moss, with NOAA in Alaska.

“They have to match timing of where they are and where the food is in their environment, and warm years tend to mess with that timing,” he said. (c)2014 The Seattle Times. Distributed by MCT Information Services
