“Live life with joyful amazement, and accept death with the calm frankness of inevitability and finality, wonder and acceptance,” Dr. Philip Young, taken from Phil Young’s Ten Commandments University of Indianapolis faculty and staff member Dr. Philip Young passed away on Jan. 7, of heart-related issues at age 55. Young was director of the Krannert Memorial Library and assistant professor of anthropology. He held positions in both the history and anthropology departments. Recently, he had been working on plans for a major renovation of the campus library. A memorial was YOUNG held in honor of Young and his family in the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center on Jan. 13. The event included colleagues sharing their memories of Young. These speakers included Phylis Lan Lin, professor of social sciences and John Langdon, professor of biology. Jim Ream of the UIndy department of theatre gave a reading of Young’s poetry. “It was an honor and a privilege to be asked to read Phil’s poetry,” Ream said. “I had no idea that he wrote poetry and that it was as wonderful as it was.” In the early 1990’s, Young became familiar to television viewers in Indiana as the judge of WTHR’s weekly “Brain Game” series, in which he carried the moniker of “Dr. Phil”. “I think a lot of people at the memorial didn’t realize how broad his skills were, his interests were, he wasn’t just all work here. You knew he was a great intellect,” said Jeff Russell, chief information officer, Information Systems and a colleague of Young’s. Music department staffers Pete Schmutte and Kathleen Hacker performed a medley of Billy Joel’s “Good night, My Angel” and The Beatles’ classic “Let It Be”. The event ended with the sending forth by Sr. Jennifer Horner, assistant professor, and Rev. L. Lang Brownlee.

OPINION............................. 2 FEATURE ............................ 6
By Kim Puckett NEWS EDITOR The nation’s dilapidated economy has left its mark in every facet of the United States, including its universities. Mike Braughton, vice president of business and finance and treasurer, said UIndy has also been hit by the nation’s declining economy. “The market value of our endowment has taken a hit just like all of the investments everywhere else.” UIndy’s endowment lost more than one-third its market value in the last year, according to Braughton. After this loss, the university’s budgeted endowment for the 2008-09 academic year is about $3.3 million, 92 percent of which is used for academic spending such as student financial aid and payment for endowed faculty. The remaining eight percent is used as part of the university’s unrestricted budget. Although the erratic market has taken its toll on the university’s endowment, Braughton does not see financial collapse

in UIndy’s future. “We view this as a temporary problem, not a long term problem, because right now decisions on Wall Street are being driven by fear and irrationality,” Braughton said. “As soon as we get some sanity back in the market I think things are going to begin to turn around.” Braughton also attributed the university ’s future fiscal safety to its enrollmentdriven economic model. BRAUGHTON “We are not as dependent on our endowment as many schools are,” Braughton said. “We rely on our endowment to only provide about 4.6 percent of our total revenue. So, if it all went away, we would still survive.” Jim Smith, vice president for university advancement, said donations to UIndy have declined this year as well.

Smith said that smaller annual fund gifts, ranging from $50 to $1,000 are down 1012 percent this year. “We are not unhappy with that data given the financial markets and uncertainty out there,” Smith said. Smith also said the university has seen an even larger decline in the major gift donations, which start at $10,000. These gifts are used for major building projects such as the new Student Athletics and Recreation Center. “The decrease in gifts has slowed down the new athletic facility project by about six months,” Smith said. “Part of the project is funded by a $5 million bond, and $2 million will be funded by gifts. We raised about $700,000 pretty quickly, but when the financial market took the hit in late fall, fund-raising really slowed down.” Like Braughton, Smith expressed optimism for UIndy’s future. “The university is fortunate to have committed donors and friends,” Smith said. “ Right now, things have really slowed down, but I’m sure when the economy stabilizes, we will see more people philanthropically giving.”

Addressing our Facebook usage
FEBRUARY 4, 2009
PRESIDENT OBAMA’S DESK
Should students be forced to limit their social networking time? By Crystal Abrell OPINION EDITOR Shortly after Christmas break, student’s received an e-mail about using social networking while on campus. The e-mail simply said that a large amount of social networking was going on while students were using the University of Indianapolis network. Information Systems informed us that using Facebook while on campus computers slows internet availability down due to the size of UIndy’s bandwidth space. The bandwidth usage causes slow-downs and unresponsive Web browsing throughout the day. According to Information Systems Administrative Assistant Gail Cooper, “Facebook has consistently been the No. 1 use of UIndy bandwidth, accounting for approximately 25 percent of all incoming web traffic.” About this issue, I am torn regarding whether or not we should be allowed to do our social networking while at the university, something of which I am indeed guilty. Using Facebook on campus, could make it difficult for students who need to browse the Web for academic reasons. The internet speed could be slowed down, making it very hard to get work done efficiently. Student’s that are using the Web for productive reasons should not be hindered by slow network connections due to other student’s use of social networking sites. It is more than frustrating when you need to finish a paper for your next class and cannot do so because someone is on Facebook looking at pictures on the computer next to you. Some students in the campus community see this situation in a different way. A large number feel as if it is the responsibility of our Information Systems to provide us with enough bandwidth to browse the Web as we please. We pay thousands of dollars to the school in tuition to ensure that we are provided with a comfortable and fun learning environment. Since we are paying so much money through loans, parents or out of pocket, checking our personal pages online, as long as they are not inappropriate, should not be anyone’s concern. Another issue, if you are going to limit social networking, you need to limit unnecessary Web browsing. For example games, individual interest, YouTube, e-mail, etc. According to the IS e-mail students need to “limit useless network traffic.” How can you pin-point what is ‘useless’ without including other examples such as e-mail? I know that most e-mail is indeed useless. Who is to say that Facebook is useless to students? This may be true to older adults, but could not be true to our younger generation. According to a Sept. 7 Web site article by techcrunch.com, 85 percent of college students use Facebook. Out of that large percentage, 60 percent log onto Facebook daily. Considering these numbers, I think it would be better to provide Internet usage to what the majority of students want- to be able to check the social network of choice on their downtime at campus. If that’s a large concern of the IS department then maybe they should take care of this issue on their own.
Keeping Dr. King’s dream alive Writer advocates for late civil rights leader’s honor
more fitting. Some of my fellow students have expressed discontent with the university’s scheduling practices for the month of January. They cannot understand why their friends from other schools get the day off and we don’t. To these students, I pose this question: if we didn’t have class on MLK Day, how By Dan Dick many of us would honestly remember STAFF WRITER to observe the day?

When I grow up... Is education only a trend? Staff writer weighs in By Jaclyn Luscomb STAFF WRITER All of us on this campus once had a dream of what we wanted to be when we grew up. We all went through elementary school with our dream job in mind, and it seemed as if nothing could stop us from getting there. As children we dreamed of being an astronaut, a fireman, a famous singer, athlete or even a veterinarian. Granted, I wanted to be a mermaid, but most dreams were a little more attainable. As we grew older, we tuned into reality and thought more about things such as what our parents do for a living or what will bring in a good paycheck. It didn’t take long for us to realize that everything is made possible with money, and that there was more to getting what we want than just asking for it. It became pretty common to hold a job in the summer mowing lawns or babysitting to make some extra money for gas. I’ve been in college for roughly six months, and I have to say that I know a lot of people who are following their wallets instead of their hearts.
our lives! If you retire at 65 and enter the workforce at 25 that’s 40 years of working eight hours a day, five days a week. Shouldn’t we do something that we have fun with? It would be foolish to think that everybody who dreams about the Olympics can make the team, or that everybody who sings in the shower can get paid to be on stage. The fact is, I’ve never met a five year old who dreamed about sitting in a cubicle, staring at a blank screen (or Facebooking) or crunching numbers 40 hours a week. Nobody wants to be one of those guys from “Office Space.” There is a reason they beat up the fax machine in the movie. According to an article in HR Magazine, “approximately half of all U.S. college students would be more likely to accept a job that offers higher pay, but less career satisfaction, in order to repay their student loans or make a better living.” Spending 40 years working at a job that doesn’t satisfy you is really going to put a damper on your living situation. If you’re here, take the plunge and study something you love! It’s life, and you only get one. Why not do things the way you dreamed them? There’s a good chance that if you are doing something you love, you will probably be pretty good at it. There’s a slightly better chance that if you are really good at something, you may get paid the big bucks for doing it anyway.
Is this a place where we study what we love and learn how to turn that passion into a career, or is this a place to learn how to make six figures? It’s no secret that the economy is shaky. Parents are scared about the price they are going to have to pay for school and many students are trying not to think about how they are going to pay off the loans that are accumulating. Employers want people with math, science and engineering degrees and employees wants to make their bosses happy. According to an article in the Sacramento Bee newspaper, the 10 highest paying jobs offered today include chief executives, physicians, surgeons, flight engineers, dentists, lawyers, podiatrists, engineering managers, judges and computer system managers. Where does a fireman, poet, dancer or kindergarten teacher fit in? The troubling fact is-they don’t. Many college students are struggling to decide what to major in. We wonder if it’s more important to do something you love or makes six figures. The core question is why we came here at all or why we chose to come to college. Was it because a college degree is becoming about as necessary as a high school diploma in order to get a job? Is it because we were told over and over again by teachers and parents that this is the step that comes after high school or was it because it’s what everyone is doing? If we are at an age to pick what we want to spend the rest of our lives doing, then we should be sensible enough to pick something that we love. This is the rest of

UMYL scholars reap benefits of Indianapolis couple’s donation By Caitlin Mannan STAFF WRITER An Indianapolis couple has helped several University of Indianapolis members of the United Methodist Church earn scholarships and supported a scholarship program that previously had an uncertain financial future. Before his passing, Walt Brown arranged for the majority of his and his wife Barbara’s estate to be passed along to the university. The couple’s donation brought $500,000 in scholarship money to UIndy that is being designated for the United Methodist Youth Leader Scholar Program. Chris Hartley, a UIndy freshman, is acutely aware of the impact that the Browns’ gift will have on his education. “I might not be here at all if I didn’t have this scholarship,” Hartley said. “It’s helped a lot.” Hartley was chosen as an incoming
freshman to take part in the UMYL Scholar program. An art student in visual communication design and photography, Hartley also plays in the Praise Team, participates in The Deliverance Project and meets with the on-campus Christian men’s group, The Peak. Benton Cartledge, another UMYL scholar, attributes part of his collegiate successes to being a recipient of this scholarship. “It’s helped me get a more wellrounded college experience,” Cartledge said. Cartledge has attended the Appalachia Service Project each year he has been at UIndy. According to the Lantz Center for Christian Vocations Web site (vocations. uindy.edu), ASP, a nonprofit Christian ministry, aims to “decrease substandard housing in rural areas of Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.” Students must meed several requirements before becoming a UMYL Scholar.
UINDY EXPANSION
“They [the selection committee members] look at grades and your involvement with your home United Methodist Church,”Cartledge said.“Involvement in my church definitely helped.” Michael Cartwright, dean of ecumenical and interfaith programs, said the financial future of the UMYL Scholars Program was in jeopardy before the Browns made their gift. “Our hope was that one way or another we could continue it,” Cartwright said. “Our mental goal was to raise $1 million for it, but we’re grateful for what we have received.” Cartwright also said the program’s main focus is to develop student leadership. “That’s what we offer to the United Methodist Church in order to cultivate leaders,”Cartwright said.“Intensive mentoring happens between all people in the program. When that is targeted toward each student with abilities, it allows them to develop leadership ability.”

A dedication ceremony will be held for the newly finished addition to the Schwitzer Student Center at 11:45 a.m. on Feb. 11 in UIndy Hall, a new banquet room on the first floor of the new wing.
Schwitzer expansion project completed By Micah McVicker STAFF WRITER
The Schwitzer Student Center renovation is complete, now providing more eating and socialization space. According to Kory Vitangeli, dean of students, the expansion makes the student center better equipped for students and faculty. “Prior to the renovation and expansion, there was little room for students to get around one another in the dining hall,” Vitangeli said. “The new space allows for better flow and use of the facility.” The first floor of the renovated center houses additional meeting and conference space. The renovation relocated the President’s and Trustees’ Dining Rooms, allowing the south hallway to become a lounge for students. Vitangeli said that events hosted by outside groups or faculty can now be held in the banquet space in the expanded center. The banquet room can be used as one
large space, two separate rooms or divided into three separate banquet rooms. Fitness equipment currently resides on the second floor, and is available for student use. Ultimately, the President’s Cabinet—consisting of the vice presidents, the chief information officer, and the director of athletics—will make the final decisions about the space on the second floor of the expanded student center. Brad Dobson, New Hall residence director, was a member of the Students and Staff Committee involved in planning the Schwitzer expansion. “The committee process was really encouraging...to know that the student voice was valued so highly and really taken into consideration during the planning process,” Dobson said. “I think the end result exceeded our expectations and requests.” According to Ken Piepenbrink, director of the physical plant, the student center expansion cost about $15 million.

YOUNG from page 1 “I learned that most of us all knew just a little bit of Phil, and I loved very much what I knew of him, but there was so much more that was there,” Ream said. Young was born Oct. 7, 1953 in Ithaca, N.Y. He earned a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Virginia and a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania, as well as a Master’s Degree in library science from Indiana University. Young’s teaching career began in 1979, when he became a history professor at Appalachian State University in Boone, N.C. From there, he came to UIndy, where he remained, also serving as an adjunct faculty member for the School of Information Science at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. Young taught ancient history and classical archeology, picked up archeological field work experience in Greece, England, France, Cyprus and Virginia and served as the director of UIndy’s Archeological Field School in Cyprus from 1997-1999. Young also authored various books and articles and served as consultant for the University of Indianapolis Press. Young is survived by his wife, Nancy, his sister, Janet Long, and his parents, Charles and Betty Young.
STUDENT PERSPECTIVES “I feel my Facebook usage is under control. As for other people, I’m not sure how many people will really listen to the e-mail. Maybe something should be posted about it on Facebook?.”
DEHR -John Dehr, grad student “After reading the e-mail about how Facebook is making the system run slower, I’ve tried making a conscious effort to close the browser when I’m not using it.”
HOLT
- Clayton Holt, freshman “I use Facebook a lot. Sometimes it is frustrating to have a slow connection and so from now on I will try to use it a little less.”
CAMPBELL - Heather Campbell, freshman “I’m not going to lie, I ignored the e-mail. I didn’t really understand what it was trying to say. I will continue to use Facebook”

Secondhand Serenade’s John Vesely performs songs from his latest album A Twist In My Story on January 31st in Ransburg Auditorium. CPB and ISG co-hosted the event which proved to be a huge hit with the UIndy campus.
CPB, ISG bring variety of artists to campus By Staci Reafsnyder SPORTS EDITOR Performing for a full house, Secondhand Serenade rocked Ransburg Auditorium on Jan. 31. The concert was
hosted by Campus Program Board and the Indianapolis Student Government. Secondhand Serenade, known for the single “Fall For You”, was accompanied by bands Rookie of the Year, White Tie Affair and Meg and Dia. This concert was open to the public, with lines wrapping around Ransburg Auditorium and stretching along Hanna Ave., but University of Indianapolis students had the privilege of being seated first. Even with the house packed, people still
waited outside the doors. Opening the night was Rookie of the Year, who had toured with Secondhand Serenade in the past. White Tie Affair kicked off the second portion of the concert, was entertaining with not only their music, but with their performance as well. Their music was punk-rock with a little twist of some techno to enhance their voices. Meg and Dia, the third band of the night, opened with a strong number before moving to some of their slower pieces
OSCAR PREVIEW 2009 The nominees, the deal and the shut-outs By Manny Casillas EDITORIAL ASSISTANT It’s that time of year again. It’s that glamorous ceremony where the best in cinema is awarded. As is usual, there are things to cheer for and things to shake a fist at. That’s part of the fun. Here’s my take on the major categories! Best Picture: “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”; “Frost/Nixon”; “Milk”; “The Reader”; “Slumdog Millionaire” The Deal: I give a pass to “Benjamin Button’”because of the technical wizardry it displays, but it’s too Forrest Gump-ish for me to receive Best Picture honors. “Slumdog’”will probably take the prize, which wouldn’t be a bad thing.Then there’s “The Reader”, which boasts brilliant acting, but stumbles a bit on its higher ambitions, so I wouldn’t have included it in this category. That’s a spot that could have gone to “Revolutionary Road”, “The Wrestler”, “Gran Torino”, “Wall-E” and even “The Dark Knight”, the most glaring omission. My pick is “Milk”; no movie in ’08 was better. Best Director: Danny Boyle – “Slumdog Millionaire”; David Fincher – “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”; Ron Howard – “Frost/Nixon”; Gus Van Sant – “Milk”; Stephen Daldry – “The Reader” The Deal: For the first time in a long time all the Best Director nominees match the Best Picture nominees.This is another I’d like to see go to “Milk”. Boyle will most likely claim the award. I wouldn’t even mind Fincher grabbing the award, since his direction was the real star in “Benjamin Button”. The big shut-out is Christopher Nolan, the directing genius behind “The Dark Knight”. Best Actor: Richard Jenkins – “The Visitor”; Frank Langella – “Frost/Nixon”; Sean Penn – “Milk”; Brad Pitt – “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”; Mickey Rourke – “The Wrestler’” The Deal: I originally thought this would be Langella’s year, he’s simply amazing as disgraced president Richard Nixon, but I think Mickey Rourke should
prepare the acceptance speech. He already claimed the Golden Globe. I tip my hat to the Academy for recognizing Richard Jenkins in the little-seen drama “The Visitor”.The big shut-out was Clint Eastwood for “Gran Torino”. Best Actress: Anne Hathaway – “Rachel Getting Married”; Angelina Jolie – “Changeling”; Melissa Leo – “Frozen River”; Meryl Streep – “Doubt”; Kate Winslet – “The Reader” The Deal: Again, kudos to the Academy for giving a nod to Melissa Leo for her amazing turn in the criminally under-seen “Frozen River”. And congrats to Meryl Streep for picking up a record-setting fifteenth nomination. That said, my personal pick is Anne Hathaway, who gave a performance so deep in “Rachel Getting Married” it required stitches. This one will probably go to Winslet, but it’s stupid they nominated her for “The Reader’”and not “Revolutionary Road”, the superior performance. The shut-out here is Kristin Scott Thomas for “I Loved You So Long”. Best Supporting Actor: Josh Brolin – “Milk”; Robert Downey Jr. – “Tropic Thunder”; Philip Seymour Hoffman – “Doubt”; Heath Ledger – “The Dark Knight”; Michael Shannon – “Revolutionary Road” The Deal: Oscar has almost never seen a comedy it liked, so it’s awesome they had the cojones to recognize Downey Jr. for giving the best comedic performance of the year. I could talk about the other nominee and the omissions but this one already belongs to Heath Ledger, plain and simple. Best Supporting Actress: Amy Adams – “Doubt”; Penelope Cruz – “Vicky Cristina Barcelona”; Viola Davis – “Doubt”; Taraji P. Hensen – “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”; Marisa Tomei – “The Wrestler” The Deal: Since Kate Winslet isn’t included, it’s sort of anyone’s game. I suspect it’ll come down to Cruz and Davis, Tomei has an Oscar already. I’m rooting for Cruz. Sad to see Debra Winger not included here (“Rachel Getting Married”).
featuring keyboard and acoustic guitar. It was a nice change from the floor-thudding bass of the previous bands. As the red curtain began to rise,Secondhand Serenade’s John Vesely entered the stage with guitar in hand. The crowd went wild as Vesely began to sing “Vulnerable” from his Awake CD. His performance included a mix of solo acoustics and full-band performances of songs from Secondhand Serenade’s new album, A Twist In My Story. Vesely
performed his most famous hit “Fall For You” as an encore at the end of the concert. The vocal clarity that one hears on Vesely’s CDs, is also found on the stage. His lyrics touch the heart with his lyrics that speak of falling in love and breakups. Even though the number of people in Ransburg was a bit over bearing at times, the concert itself met all expectations. With a set list consisting of four popular bands, CPB and ISG again provided quality programming for UIndy students.
Theatre Department brings home honors By Manny Casillas EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
MCT Campus
UIndy’s theatre department journeyed to Saginaw, Mich., over the holiday break to participate in the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. The festival, hosted by Saginaw Valley State University, invited the department to perform its production of Teresa Rebeck’s “Spike Heels”, which opened in December of 2008. This marks the second consecutive time the department has been invited to present a production at the festival. The department took its production of Neil KUSCERA LaBute’s “The Shape of Things” to last year’s festival, and its production of Samuel Beckett’s “Endgame”. “I’m extremely proud of all of our students, faculty and staff , because they represented the university and the department in an outstanding way,” said Jim Ream, OBERHEIDE chair of the theatre department. “Spike Heels”was invited as a participating production, meaning it was eligible to be considered for the national competition. The schedule for the “Spike Heels” performance included a 4 hour load-in that Friday eveWRIGHT ning, and three consecutive performances that Saturday at 9 a.m., noon and 4 p.m. “I think our week in Saginaw at the festival was extremely successful,” said Brad Wright, associate professor and director of theatre at UIndy.“In terms of “Spike Heels”, it was a brutal schedule.
We had our load-in [of the set] on Friday evening, and performances the next morning. [But] it was a hit with festival audiences.” “Spike Heels” was not the only story to come out of Saginaw. UIndy theatre student Stephanie Kucsera participated in the Barbizon Design competition for Theatrical Design. Kucsera was awarded first place for her costume design for UIndy’s production of “Into The Woods”. She is the first designer from the department to compete in the national competition. She displayed a few of her pieces from “Into The Woods’”for the festival’s costume parade. “[I was] shocked. When it was announced, I just sat in my chair and covered my mouth.To me it was unreal; it’s still kind of unreal. Going into it I didn’t expect anything—I didn’t expect to win” Kucsera said. The department also claimed a certificate of merit from the festival for Cast Ensemble for “Into The Woods”. “It’s just fantastic that Stephanie won the costume design competition for the region. We’ll be going to The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. She made it the elite eight, one of eight people competing in Washington,” Ream said. “I think sometimes she doesn’t realize how good she is.” Student Alex Oberheide also claimed a spot as one of the finalists for the Irene Ryan Acting Competition, a nomination he claimed from UIndy’s production of ‘Hedda Gabler’. “It’s an honor,” Oberheide said, “It’s out of so many really good actors in the region. It’s nice to make it to the top 16. You can hold your head up high after that.” Currently, the department is at work on its latest dinner theatre production, ‘Leading Ladies’, set to open Feb. 20.

REVIEWS 1 DEFIANCE BIOGRAPHICAL/ACTION
>>“Defiance” is a story about four Bielski brothers whose Belarusssian neighborhood is invaded by Nazis in Hitler’s Germany. Tuvia Bielski is the older brother
who leads Jews into the forest to live in a community in defiance of Hitler’s orders. Tuvia provides leadership as the band of survivors build shelters, collect food and water and attempt to live in secrecy. Make no mistake, there is a reason this movie is rated R. It’s a war movie after all. It’s not too gory, but there are killings on screen. Still, it’s a heart-warming story about Tuva and younger brother Zus who have their rivalry, yet reunite in the end to defeat German forces. • Micah McVicker, Staff Writer

The lyrics are simple, easy and fun to sing along with; however, they lack much content. “Well I’m bored, I’m bored, come on let’s get high…,” are words from the opening song Ulysses. It’s not going to be the lyrics that get a lot of attention paid to them. The CD has more of a dance sound to it than the previous two which no fan will be able to listen to without even tapping their toes. Synthesizers, keyboards and more are used to make this CD fast-paced. The track Lucid Dreams is almost 8 minutes with more than half of it music. The last two songs Dream Again and Katherine Kiss Me are much slower than the rest of the CD. Katherine Kiss Me sounds much like a soft-paced ballad bringing the CD to a nice close. • Stephanie Snay, Staff Writer

>>Call of Duty: World at War is vicious in its brutal portrayal of the second World War. In the latest installment of the
franchise, World At War places the player on the eastern front, vividly illustrating the savage combat between the Red Army and the crumbling Nazi Reich. The game also features the franchise’s first sortie into the Pacific, chronicling the American advance through the Japanese Empire. The game is dark and ominous, refusing to simply paint the war as a crusade against evil. Ambushes and Banzai charges will leave the player with a sense of dread that no Call of Duty game has ever been able to produce. The game’s graphics are superb, whether it is the beautiful island scenery of the Pacific or carnage of battle. • Dan Dick, Staff Writer

THE CROWN
KATIE STAM IS

veryone has to start somewhere, and according to mother Tracy Stam, her daughter’s journey towards Miss America all began with a dream. “It started when she was three years old. Katie [Stam] and her cousin would go to the basement, make crowns out of cereal boxes and dress up in our formal prom gowns and would play pageants,” Tracy Stam said. These days, Katie Stam no longer has to play pageants; she lives them. “I cried tears of joy and happiness, because I knew she’d worked very hard. They [the contestants] were all smart, beautiful and well-spoken, and for her to win was such a blessing,” Tracy Stam said. University of Indianapolis senior communication major Katie Stam was crowned Miss America 2009 on Jan. 24 at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. Stam started her journey to the crown with an early victory on TLC’s reality series “Miss America: Countdown to the Crown.” She was one of four contestants who was voted into the Top 15 finalists by viewers on the cable television reality series that led up to the pageant’s final show. The series provided physical and mental competitions for all 52 contestants. Four Miss America hopefuls were awarded with a golden sash and a chance to be included in the pageant’s Top 15. Stam was the first golden sash winner, and she was followed by Miss Georgia Chastity Hardman, Miss South Dakota Alexandra Hoffman, and Miss Alabama Amanda Tapley. Stam’s academic adviser, General Manager of WICR-FM and Instructor of Communication Scott Uecker, said that Stam’s genuine personality came through throughout the series. “What we saw in the reality show is what we have seen in the last three-and-a -half years. She didn’t try to be someone else or impress someone; it was just Katie [Stam],” Uecker said. “There was nothing she did that surprised me.” Stam won a $50,000 scholarship and the Miss America crown. She was also awarded a $1,000 scholarship for being the Lifestyle & Fitness winner and was a finalist for the Quality of Life Award for community service. She will travel across America promoting her platform of Passion for Service: Promoting Community Service and Involvement and acting as the official national spokesperson for the Children’s Miracle Network. Stam is the first Hoosier to claim the title of Miss America in the pageant’s 88 year history. Keith Stam, Katie’s father, said that she will always be his little Katie. “She’s worked so hard towards this, it was so much joy for us to see her dream actually come true for her,” he said. “It’s just like the Cinderella story.”
Miss America for a night By Samantha Cotten
any women have dreamed of becoming Miss America from the time they were little girls. On Jan. 24, while that dream became a reality for senior communication major Katie Stam, Campus Program Board granted the wishes of many other UIndy students during the Miss America for a Night event. Approximately 40 students attended the event, held in the Schwitzer Student Center, to watch the 2009 Miss America pageant live on TLC cable network and support the success of their fellow classmate. “Katie [Stam] and I are both communication majors, and I had a chance to get to know her better during a trip to Las Vegas last April for a conference we attended,” said CPB President Joanna Huff. “She is a brilliant, talented, sweet and very funny person. I would say I was surprised when they announced her name, but I expected nothing less.” Attendees were treated to luxurious snacks during the pageant, and competed in Miss America challenges during commercial breaks. Winners were crowned with their very own tiara, becoming Miss America for a night. “CPB’s mission is to provide students with quality programming and for something of such importance, it would have been ridiculous not to do [the event],” Huff said. “We are all so very proud of her.”

THE CROWN. SC: What went through your head when you were named Miss America 2009?
MA: When they announced my name it was really an out-ofbody experience. I was completely shocked and thrilled, and a little bit of everything went rushing through my body. I think everyone could tell by the look on my face when they called my name that it was just sheer excitement. SC: How has your life changed since that moment? She’s an outstanding representative of Indiana and will leave a lasting impact on everyone she meets. Her passion for community service shows the rest of the world how Hoosiers truly are committed to helping others.
MA: My life has changed completely in every single way. The moment they put the crown on my head, I was whisked away for my very first media interview and press conference, and then to a VIP party for our sponsors. The next day, I was on a plane headed for New York for my whirlwind media tour in the city, and now I’m in Tampa for the Super Bowl. It’s crazy.

MA: They’re doing really well. They’re eating up every single second of it and living this experience right there with me, which makes it even more special for me. I try to call home as much as possible, just to get an update. They’re trying to get everything organized at home for me since I’m not going to get to come home for a while. And even when I do, I will continue to make appearances as Miss America.
• Co-Director of the Miss Indiana Pageant Frank Ricketts.
I feel sorry for Miss America 2010, because I’m not sure whoever the next one is will be able to live up to what Katie [Stam] does. [The Miss America Organization] is imaging Miss America as the ‘it’ girl. I’m not sure what ‘it’ is, but she’s got ‘it.’
SC: What does your success mean for the state of Indiana?
She’s everything you would want Miss America to be and more.
MA: Indiana doesn’t get as much credit as it should. It has been an exciting year for Indiana, especially politically. We have never really mattered before, and this year we actually counted. It’s been a huge year for Indiana, and it means so much to me to be the first girl from Indiana to bring home the national title.

lamour, according to Katie Stam, is “that beauty that you feel on the inside; it’s that confidence, that radiance inside of you.” That confidence and radiance are what helped Stam clench the coveted Miss America crown. Of course, great fashion and chic dresses didn’t hurt her chances either. For any woman about to serenade America, it is only fitting that she have the right dress. Standing center stage, in a white, spaghetti-strapped, sweethearttop ball gown, with flowing train and intricate beading, Stam swept the hearts of the judges with a rendition of “Via Dolorosa.” As Stacy and Clinton of “What Not to Wear” often remind us, it is always important to “dress for success,” especially for that big interview. Nothing says success like a mid-thigh, tiered, white dress and rhinestone-studded stilettos. America better think twice before trying to stump this future anchorwoman. What shows a woman’s grace better than an elegant evening gown? Confidence and poise are easy to come by with this off-theshoulder, white-lace evening gown with a brushed train. What also makes this gown perfect is that it accessorizes well, especially with a bouquet of red roses, a silky sash and a dazzling crown.
MA: The number one thing that I’m really looking forward to is to be the official spokesperson for the Children’s Miracle Network. The CMN is an organization of 170 children’s hospitals across the U.S. and Canada and I get to act as their official spokesperson. I’ll be going to different children’s hospitals and meeting the children and learning their stories, and then taking their stories out to the community and do fund-raising. Last year the partnership between CMN and Miss America raised $1.3 million, which is incredible. I am so much looking forward to doing that. I love children and cannot wait to be an advocate for them and their cause.

UINDY WITNESSES HISTORY
Members of the UIndy community attended Barack Obama’s inauguration By Stephanie Snay STAFF WRITER
On Tuesday, Jan. 20, Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th president and first African-American president of the United States. Millions of people witnessed this historic event, including some members of the University of Indianapolis community. Junior visual communication design major Kandice Casey attended the inauguration with her father in Washington, D.C., and had tickets to the “Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball,” one of many inaugural balls. “I am very excited to go, because I’ve never experienced anything of this magnitude,” Casey said prior to the event. Sophomore international relations major Sarah Haefner, who currently has an internship in Washington, also attended the inauguration ceremony. “So many people were beaming as they literally witness history in the making and many were even crying,” Haefner said. Freshman Bianca Davila drove nine and a half hours with friends and slept in her car so she could witness the historical moment. “It was probably the most memorable day of my life,” Davila said. The inauguration drew a large crowd, an estimated 1.5 million people, on the National Mall. “They were not prepared to have that many people in D.C.,” Davila said. “People were ripping down gates and throwing them.” The U.S. senator in charge of the Congressional Inaugural Committee, Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), said during an interview with CNN that there were significant problems handling the masses that kept thousands of people with valid tickets from viewing the inauguration. “I’ve never seen that many people in one location,” Davila said. “It was like ‘March of the Penguins’.” Davila also said many celebrities were among the masses. “We turned around and saw Samuel L. Jackson,” Davila said. Davila and Casey both stressed how cold the weather was during the event, remaining in the upper 20s throughout the day. “We were walking in and out of big throngs of people to stay warm,” Davila said. Casey, Davila and Haefner describe Obama’s inauguration as inspiring, moving and well worth it. “So let us mark this day with remembrance, of who we are and how far we have

Washington was not the only place where people gathered to celebrate Obama’s inauguration. A viewing party was held in Schwitzer Student Center for UIndy students. The MoveOn political organization also held many inaugural bashes in Indianapolis. Some were held at Lockerbie Pub, O’Reilly’s Irish Pub and Restaurant and on the corner of 14th and Capitol. Jan. 20, 2009 was a history-making date and one that Casey said profoundly affected her. “Being in D.C. was a great experience because we were surrounded by millions of people coming to witness this day and be a part of history,” Casey said. “There were just so many people, it was pretty crazy but mostly everyone was very nice.“People who didn’t even know each other were coming together and being friendly with one another.” Casey, Davila and Haefner all said they were proud to have attended Obama’s inauguration. “I got to be a part of history and got to experience so many good things and be around millions of different people coming together to witness Obama’s inauguration, “ Casey said. “I think it was so much more exciting than staying at home and just watching it on TV. Just the atmosphere that was created by all of the people and that day was amazing. Now I can say that I was there when Barack Obama became president.”

Six of FROST-FISCHER those are freshmen and one is a transfer from Santa Rosa Junior College. According to Frost-Fischer, the team has been practicing since the first week classes started. With the start of the spring season less than a month away, the Greyhounds haven’t had much time to practice outside due to the winter weather. “The weather hinders us tremendously [this] time of year,” Frost-Fischer said. “We’re waiting for the weather to break to practice outside.” Sophomore infielder Cat Sampson said that there has been a huge improvement from the fall practices to now. “We’re all working hard,” Sampson said. “We’re excited to get this year started.” So far, the preparations for the up-

The University of Indianapolis Athletic Department announced on Dec. 9, 2008, that Terry Wetherald would take over the wrestling program as interim head coach for the rest of the 2009 season. Due to circumstances not disclosed to The Reflector, previous head coach Jay Yates was removed from his position. Yates graduated from UIndy in 2001 and became the head coach in 2003, left for a season and returned in 2005. According to the Sports Information Director Mitch Wigness, during Yates’ UIndy wrestling career, he was the first Multi All-American and the first Greyhound to be a national runner-up. “[Relieving Yates] had nothing to do with his coaching abilities,” Wigness said.“I’m sure [this change] affects [the athletes], but wrestling is more of an individual sport working as a team.” D i re c t o r o f Athletics Sue Willey said that she asked Wetherald YATES to take on the position to maintain stability for the student athletes. “Legal issues forced us to relieve coach Yates,” Willey said. “I chose to hire Terry Wetherald to be the interim coach.” Wetherald said when Willey asked him to come back, it caught him off guard. “My first reaction was, I’m very concerned with the program,”Wetherald said. “I’m glad that they asked me to keep a little continuity going.” He said that the team has been good about accepting the change, and he is glad to be back, even under the circumstances. Wetherald’s goals for this season are to have the team go as far as they can in WETHERALD the nation and for them to be as strong as they can be. “We’re going to surprise some people,” Wetherald said. Wetherald has had past experience coaching at UIndy. He was the coach of the wrestling program for 31 years. “He basically built the [wrestling] program,” Willey said. After his retirement in 2000, he was asked to come back as the interim head coach in 2002. Since then he has been on the board of directors for the Greyhound Club. According to Willey, they will post the open position for head coach on the university Web site by the beginning of March and around mid-April they should have the position filled for the 2009-10 season.
Football players fail to pass surprise drug tests By Adrian Kendrick MANAGING EDITOR
Five football players out of 30 student athletes tested positive on Jan. 14 for marijuana drug use. “As a department, we are not going to sit back and say we don’t care,” said Sue Willey, director of athletics.“It’s a privilege to be a student athlete, and they are held to a higher standard. So if they want to use [marijuana], they shouldn’t be student athletes.”
When asked about the situation, head football coach Joe Polizzi declined to comment. According to Ned Shannon, instructor and head athletic trainer, a “higher standard” includes student athletes refraining from recreational or performance enhancing drugs. “We [UIndy] have multiple testings per year, and every sport is eligible to have random student athletes selected during the fall and the spring,” Shannon said. According to the UIndy Athletics Web
site (athletics.uindy.edu), the drugs or drug classes to be tested are, but not limited to, alcohol, stimulants, anabolic agents, diuretics, street drugs, peptide hormones and analogues. Sanctions after positive test results include for the first offense additional testing whenever the athletic program conducts testing, a mandatory conference call with a parent or guardian, immediate suspension from the first full day of competition and an evaluation by the student athlete-counseling psychologist,according
to the Web site. After the first drug-related offense, the consequences continue to increase,with the third offense resulting in removal from the team along with cancellation and inability to renew their athletic scholarship. Based on the coach’s decision,the player or players who tested positive also may face additional consequences. Willey said that some coaches are becoming more adamant about using fund-raiser money to test the entire team. Willey also said that next year the
consequences for testing positive will increase, and once the athlete or athletes have tested positive for the second time, they will be terminated. “I was disappointed. We don’t like to do this, but we are also not going to tolerate this conduct, and we believe this is in the best interest of our student athletes,”Willey said.“They fail to realize [that] what they do is a reflection of their team and the coaching staff. I hear a lot of student athletes say they should legalize marijuana. Well, it’s not [legal] so they shouldn’t be using.”

SACRIFICE TO SUCCESS
Five athletes from UIndy make provisional qualifying marks at Indiana Open and GVSU Mike Lints Alumni Open By Chris Miller STAFF WRITER The University of Indianapolis men’s and women’s track teams have five athletes who either qualified or earned a provisional spot for the NCAA Division II Indoor Championships. This success also comes from the maturation of a decision made last season to red shirt ten athletes, three of whom are currently qualified. In Issue 11, Vol. 86 of The Reflector, head coach Fangman said that red shirting so many athletes in the 2007-08 season could have been the worst year in Greyhound histor y for the track and field team. But Fangman also said that once Universit y of S outher n I l linoisEdwardsville left this season, UIndy could be the best team in school histor y.
RANKED from page 9 coming season have consisted of weight lifting and hitting inside, limiting the players’ conditioning. In the first two weekends of the season, the team will play two tournaments, including the GLIAC/GLVC Crossover, Feb. 28 to March 1. Sampson said it is good to have competition early in the season to see where the team stands. According to Frost-Fischer, the team wants to pick up from where it left off last year and start the season stronger. “[Being ranked] is a great moment for our program,” FrostFischer said. “[But] in all reality, a ranking is just a ranking.”

Wrestling team successful despite setbacks By Cole Willis STAFF WRITER
The University of Indianapolis wrestling team’s season started off the regular season with an announcement that Terry Wetherald would become interim head coach due to the departure of former coach Jay Yates. Wetherald had previously been a coach at UIndy for 31 years. “We have adjusted well to his style of coaching and style of wrestling,” said junior Lynn Panko. “He has more of an emphasis on an aggressive and intense style.” The wrestling team headed to the annual Wheaton College Invitational Jan. 30-31, and finished 13th of 31 teams. Only junior Matt Irwin and freshman Ethan Harris placed second in their
