New Student Activities Coordinator joins UIndy By Kenny Norman ONLINE EDITOR

Stephanie Barry accepted the position of student activities coordinator for the University of Indianapolis this fall. According to Dan Stoker, executive director of student services, the student activities coordinator (SAC) is the primary advisor for the Campus Program Board(CPB), as well as all other registered student organizations (RSOs). Barry spent six years doing undergraduate and graduate work at Southern New Hampshire University. Her job as the UIndy SAC is her fi rst sinc e completing her graduate work. Barry said she was attracted by the BARRY small campus and friendly, genuine faculty. UIndy has about 1,500 more students than Southern New Hampshire University. Barry said she has spent most of her time as the SAC familiarizing herself with all the organizations UIndy has to offer. She also said that she has met with CPB president Julie Wehmiller to discuss CPB, met with students about coordinating intramurals and met with other students to discuss starting new organizations. The SAC oversees the RSOs on campus and also coordinates a meeting at which 50 UIndy RSOs talk about issues and programs.The SAC is also the official advisor for Campus Program Board. The SAC works closely with CPB and intramurals, as well as helps with campus events. The SAC also takes questions about programs and helps contact the physical plant. Wehmiller served on a committee with two other students who looked through several applications, sorting them into groups by levels of qualifications. According to Wehmiller, the position is usually open every two to three years. “Essentially, [the SAC] is a resource for us here at UIndy,” Wehmiller said. “It’s a matter of the organizations,” Stoker said. “It’s mostly working with organizations to make sure the students

Three residents per room causes clutter By Elizabeth Wheeler SPORTS EDITOR

As of Sept. 19, 125 students are living in temporary housing across the University of Indianapolis campus. There were 152 women living three per room in Cravens Hall and 40 students living in suites ranging from two to five occupants in the basement of Warren Hall. The lounges on both sides of Cory Bretz Hall were filled with students and there was also temporary housing created in Central Hall. “We may have people in temporary housing for the remainder of the year or we may have everyone moved out,” said Associate Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students Kory Vitangeli. “I just can’t 100 percent say at this point.” Vitangeli said that all students who are living with three or more students received a reduced housing rate, $500 less than the regular price. Freshman Amanda Ackles noted that residents were told ahead of time about having an additional roommate. “Showers are an issue, as is washing your laundry,” Ackles said. “There are roughly 80 people with only two dryers and two washers. It’s hard to find a time where you can get it done.”

UIndy’s official records indicate that 4,966 [undergraduate day division] applicants were accepted for the 2010-2011 academic school year, which is an increase of 1,281 accepted applicants from the previous year. “Once we started to identify housing issues and space issues, we had to communicate with people that we had on a wait list,” Director of Admissions Ron Wilks said. “In the past, what would happen is that people would have changed their minds, and we’d pull them off the wait list. We did not see a lot of movement from people [this year] after they put down their deposits.” According to Wilks, some students accepted on advised admission were turned away. Due to his or her academic credentials, an advised admission applicant is required to live on campus and limit his or her credit hours taken. However, due to the overcrowding issues, there was not adequate space for some of those students who were required to live on campus, and therefore they could not attend UIndy in the fall. “We are in the process now of communicating with those students that are interested in coming in second semester,” Wilks said. According to Vitangeli, students in temporary housing will have first priority in available rooms over incoming students.

UIndy student dies suddenly

Spring 2010 graduate Khaled Al-Husseini passes away from Marfan’s Syndrome By Haley Vannarsdall FEATURE EDITOR Khaled Al-Husseini, a University of Indianapolis student, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, Aug. 27. Khaled was known not only by the international students, but to many all around campus. According to his brother, Kenan AlHusseini, Khaled’s autopsy revealed his cause of death to be Marfan’ s Syndrome, although neither he nor his family had any idea of his condition. According to the American Heart Association, Marfan’s Syndrome is, “a connective tissues disorder, and besides perhaps having heart problems, people with Marfan’s syndrome are often tall and thin.They also may have slender, tapering fingers, long arms and legs, curvature of the spine and eye problems.” The doctors diagnosed Khaled with scoliosis, but had never mentioned the chance of Marfan’s Syndrome. Khaled was an international student from Syria, and he graduated in 2010

with a degree in marketing. He had planned to attend the UIndy masters program in the fall. “Khaled brought me so much joy last year. He was funny, intelligent, and so kind. Every single time I saw him, we would end up laughing,” said Katie Gainey, Khaled’s 2010 East Hall resident assistant. “I will continue to pray for his family and share my memories of him with others.” Khaled left an impression on all of those he encountered and was very close to the international students at UIndy, according to his close friend Aviv Sela. “I don’t remember a single person that didn’t like him. He left a good impression on most people on campus; the girls always liked him,” Sela said. “Everywhere we went, we took Khaled with us, and he was a part of the ‘international family’ we have here on campus.” Kenan Al-Husseini created a Facebook page in his memory, and reminds all of Khaled’s friends and family that “It’s only human to mourn and cry, but

please do Khaled a personal favor and celebrate his life instead. If you are having a drink, lift your drink up high and make a toast in honor of his name. If you are dancing, sing along and feel his spirit with you. If you are sad, think of the good times you spent with him and smile.” The Global Rally of Students, a club Khaled was a part of at UIndy, plans to have a memorial service to celebrate Khaled’s life in McCleary Chapel on Oct. 14. “Khaled enjoyed every minute of his life. He lived very dangerously, loved his friends, was loved everywhere, and knew how to make people around him happy,” Sela said. “He lived every day like it was his last day of life, took many risks, and had a good time.” The UIndy counseling services located on the second floor of Schwitzer Student Center are there to assist students with the loss of a loved one. “Khaled was wonderful,”said Gainey. “If I could talk to him right now I would say, ‘I will always miss you, Habibi.’”

UIndy offers new dining option Chinese cuisine now available at Streets Grill in marketplace

By Liz Wang

Walking into the student center at noon, you can see the usual lines of people waiting to go into the cafeteria, the Fiesta Grill, the Sub Hub and Streets Grill. These areas are crowded with students ordering their preferred selections. This year, however, a new meal option has been added to give students a little more variety and flavor. Since transferring to UIndy last year, I’ve had my doubts about the quality and variety of food offered to students here on campus. This year, UIndy has added Chopsticks, a Chinese stir-fry restaurant

that functions in conjunction with Streets Grill. Now students can have made-toorder Asian combination platters, similar to dishes found in American Chinese restaurants. Chopsticks offers a pre-set menu everyday, but that raises my concerns. What if some students don’t like the ginger orange chicken or are allergic to peanut shrimp? Why do they not have the freedom to choose what ingredients to put in their meals? I think there should be substitution options for students with special dietary needs. I had a high expectation for the food itself. The food was visually appetizing and smelled pleasant, but all I could taste was the sugary syrup running down my throat.

There was no excitement to the dish except for a tiny hint of ginger lingering at the very end. Maybe it’s my personal preference or what I grew up with. I am neither a cook nor a trained chef, but I do know from having Chinese food for 21 years so far that Chinese food shouldn’t just taste sweet. Like any cuisine, it should have character. The taste of any dish will vary from sweet, spicy, salty and every other combination, though I understand that changes always will have to be made to localize the cuisine to accommodate a community’s likes and dislikes. Furthermore, I was quite frustrated when I saw the amount of chicken and vegetables given to me in the platter. As a commuter student, I must use Crimson

Cash to pay for my meals on campus. If I am paying $6.25 for a meal, I expect a little more than just four small pieces of chicken covered in orange ginger sauce. Nevertheless, when I asked my friends their thoughts on the new dish, they believed that it was delicious. They seemed surprised that it tasted different from the usual wok stir-fry that is served in the cafeteria. I think it would be a good idea to expand Chopsticks’ hours of operations to be similar to the Sub Hub or the Fiesta Grill, so that students can have stir-fry at regular hours. Expanded hours of operation could serve as a way to ease the lunch rush in the cafeteria, and also provide the students and faculty who normally

only have time to grab a sub or an order of nachos with a more substantial hot meal. As of now, Chopsticks is only open on weekdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. If Chopsticks adjusts its hours to match the other restaurants in the marketplace, it would benefit not only students who have classes during the current hours of operation but also those students whom have night classes and have to miss the regular hours of the cafeteria. Overall, I think this new addition will prove beneficial to the student body. It provides students with a chance to explore new foods. I will be patiently waiting to see if Chopsticks expands its hours and improves the food quality and portion size in the near future.

Staffers weigh in on community center controversy By Greg Lyons

N CO

Nine years have passed since the horrific terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and approximately 1,500 years since the rise of Islam. If the majority of the world could not understand Islam for its first 1,500 years, then there is little hope that a country brimming with furious Americans will understand it only nine years after the most devastating terrorist attack in this country’s history – a terrorist attack executed in the name of Islam, albeit radical Islam. The proposed community center in New York City is to be a place of worship, a place of community and most importantly, a place of peace. Why is this so difficult to understand? Why is this story dominating news all across the world? Ignorance. The term is not used insultingly, but neither is it used lightly. It is a cold, hard fact. Ignorance is alive, and there are few hopeful signs that point to its diminishing anytime soon. The painful truth is that even as educated and as traveled as many people are these days, societies, cultures and religions are becoming more like private clubs. How far into the world of Islam can non-Muslims get before the ignorance kicks in? Not far. The word “Muslim” itself is now connected with the word “terrorist.” That seems like quite a leap, but is it? Not in the minds of a frighteningly large number of non-Muslims everywhere. Some of us might brush aside this ignorance with a roll of our eyes, but what does the mosque truly symbolize? If in ignorant minds a Muslim is a terrorist and a mosque is a Muslim place of worship, then what is being built two blocks from Ground Zero is a Place of Terrorist Worship. Ignorance breeds fear, and fear breeds, among other things, violence. Americans will learn eventually. Maybe. Even better, you might say

“give it time.” Let’s take time out of the equation and focus on what we are all really worrying about – consequences. Let’s steer away from violence and terrorism. There is more than enough talk about that. Instead, let’s look at the long term. Muslims have a right to worship where they want, and America eventually will move past this, but is that what we really want? Do we really want to take it stoically, quietly lamenting the wrongs Islam has done to us and try not to notice the mosque being built a few blocks away from the location of Ground Zero? It’s doubtful. The mosque will be built eventually, but the world is watching to see what we do about it. Will we react with violence and protesting? Will our Christian communities continue to teach new generations that Islam is evil? Will we burn the Quran? Yes. These things are going to continue happening until a generation of American parents can teach their children to learn and accept people of different races and faiths, but predicting when that will happen is as about as easy as predicting the weather in Indiana.

Sept. 11, 2001, is a day that will not soon be forgotten in the hearts of Americans for this is the day that we were attacked on our own ground and lost countless fathers, brothers, sisters, mothers, daughters, sons, friends and heroes. After the attacks on Sept. 11, we invaded Iraq to free the world and the Iraqis from the tyranny of Saddam Hussein. This is a cause we have lost more than 4,000 military personnel for – saving and protecting Muslims. So why does the idea of a mosque being built near the location of Ground Zero bring so much enmity towards Muslims? The US Constitution’s First Amendment gives Americans the right to freedom of religion, and nowhere in the First amendmentdoes the fine print read “except for Islam.” This building will not be Graphic by MCT Campus at Ground Zero, but two blocks away from the northeast corner of the World Trade Center. Also, it is less a mosque than it is an Islamic Community Center, much like the Christian institution, the Y. It is supposed to have a swimming pool and an arts center. This

will be a 13-story building with the top two floors devoted to Muslim worship. Countless American Muslims also lost loved ones in the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11. If you count ground where Muslims gather to pray as a mosque, then should Ground Zero itself count as a mosque each time a Muslim family has gone there to remember the lives of loved ones they lost in those tragic attacks? Do we fear that these Muslims who will gather at 45 Park Place in New York will plan another attack on the United States? Since Sept. 11, Muslim Americans have lived more in fear of being victimized by terrorists, such as the case in the pipe-bomb explosion outside the Islamic Center of Northeast Florida. People won’t even be able to see this building from Ground Zero. The location of this building is the site where a Burlington Coat Factory was abandoned in 2001. Some call it sacred ground; I call that ignorance. Are you aware what else is two blocks away from Ground Zero? A strip club. The fact of the matter is that the Islamic culture is looked down on by Americans everywhere. The mosque near Ground Zero is being protested just as the one in Murfreesboro, Tenn. Muslims are taking a stand against extremists and we are stopping them in their tracks with our hate. Take a good look at yourself, Americans, and do what our founding fathers would have done. People of all faiths alike share a belief that their God is love. If your God is love, and your goal is to live a life in which you strive to be more like God, then stop the hate. I leave you with a quote from MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann: “The terrorists who destroyed the buildings from which you could only see 45 Park Place as a dot on the ground, wanted to force us to change our country to become more like the ones they knew. What better way could we honor the dead of the World Trade Center, than to do the terrorists’ heavy lifting for them? And do you think 45 Park Place is where this ends?”

Students give up free time to volunteer

University of Indianapolis students volunteered during Super Saturday of Service at different Indianapolis events By Elizabeth Wang STAFF WRITER

University of Indianapolis students volunteered at the annual Super Saturday of Service on Sept. 18. Groups of students headed off to two different events to give back to the Indianapolis community. The event was ultimately sponsored by Circle K, but an y UIndy student was welcome to attend. Circle K teamed up with Grace on Wings, the nation’s only airborne health service organization to raise awareness for the organization and also raise funds toward the organization’s charity service. Also as part of Super Saturday of Service, students from the UIndy Honors College volunteered at Masterpiece in a Day, a creative arts and writing contest held annually in Fountain Square. The event Circle K and Grace on

Wings collaborated on took place at the Indianapolis International Airport at 9:30 a.m. and the event lasted until 4 p.m. The 13 student who volunteered at the airport were divided into four groups, each serving a different station at the event. The stations included silent auction, donations, games and food distribution. Volunteer at the game station and freshman Ashley Emery enjoyed the experience. “It was a blast, just coming here to give back to the community and learn more about what they do,” Emery said. At Masterpiece in a Day, Honors College students volunteer their time in many different ways. The event was a contest in which people were challenged to create original artwork or creative writing pieces. Student volunteered their time at the arts and crafts booth at the event painting old records, making masks and painting faces. Junior Anna Elzer elaborated on the roles UIndy students played at the event. “We relieved vendors from their booths

and provided hospitality for them as well as the working artists,” Elzer said. Assistant Director of Career Services and advisor to UIndy Circle K, Libby Davis said that it was a good thing to see students volunteer and give back to the community. Davis also said that through attending the Grace of Wings event at the airport and helping those in need, she realized how great the need for service and volunteer work is in our the community. Students who volunteered said that being involved in service projects and donating time to a good cause is encouraging. Freshman Brittany Teipen who assisted with food distribution with Circle K at event at the airport was inspired by her experience. “Seeing all these people here volunteering does give me inspiration to help others,” Teipen said. This is just one of many events service events coordinated throughout the school year. Upcoming volunteering opportunities include visits to animal shelters and homeless shelters. Circle K meets in Mondays at 9 p.m. in Schwitzer Student Center room 010. Meetings are open to all students.

Stoker said that interviewing applicants for the position over the summer, with no students present on campus was a challenge. Stoker also said that while summer is a hard time to interview potential applicants, it also is good downtime, since

lacking an SAC would have less impact on students at that time. “I think she’ll [Barry] be a great addition to campus, and I look forward to our students getting to meet her,”Stoker said. Barry mentioned that her favorite part of the job is being in a new environment and a new location. “I want to push myself out of my comfort zone,” Barry said. “I want to understand what I can do to better serve the school.”

UIndy monitors printing By Kayla Prosser STAFF WRITER The University of Indianapolis has spent $60,000 per year on toner and paper for the past two years. Due to this, the university has recently adopted a Print Management System to reduce the waste of paper. It’s an easier way to control the amount of paper distributed throughout campus. Client Services Director, Michelle Duman said that to eliminate waste, Client Services, ISG and the Executive Board came together about a year and a half ago to find a solution. The planning of this project, however, started in 2007. Due to the upfront funding demand for a PMS, the university had to prolong the installation of the system in order to acquire the funds to do so. Technical Support Manager, Patrinah Bennett said the system itself cost anywhere from $30 to 32,000. The upfront funding was a onetime fee, however, which is significantly less than the $60,000 spent on printing each year. According to Duman and Bennett, students may have to eventually pay for printing. However, students will have a certain quota of free prints before they have to pay for each sheet. The quota would approximately be 500 sheets Bennett said surrounding schools already charge for printing. This method will limit students and instructors to printing just what they need to use. Bennett also said the system will help instructors as well as students

because they can upload documents to Blackboard to view. According to Michelle Duman, the university is happy with the switch, however, some students do not agree with the new system. Duman said, “The students who don’t agree with it, just don’t like it, but they do not have trouble using it.” It is an easy way to print, but some prefer the old way. It’s obvious that the university is already significantly saving on paper and toner. The system is more efficient for everyone because it saves students’ and instructors’ time. “The goal is not to take away services from students, but to reduce the waste of paper,” Duman said. Because the university is a green community, it only makes sense to reduce the waste paper as much as we can. It’s evident in the computer labs that there is no excess paper hanging around, the lines are short at the printer, and the university will now be able to put more money back in to the school with the money being saved on toner and paper. Senior Katherine Allen said of the PMS, “I like it because it’s more environmental friendly because it saves a lot of paper and ink. I also like it because I don’t have to wait in line at the printer.” For the convenience of the students, the directions to printing have been put up on the My UIndy Web site. Students can send their print job to the printer, leave it there for up to six hours, and even print it in a different lab than the original print job. If students have questions or concerns about the new PMS, they can contact Patrinah Bennett in Client Services.

Put that all together, and he can be seen playing live performances that range from hip-hop to soft rock. “The more I did it, the more interest I had in it,” Unogu said. “And it takes a lot less to believe in yourself than for people to believe in you. Everyone who has listened to my style of music has given it two thumbs up, and that makes me even more confident of the truth that I’ve got a shot.” His plan is to be a doctor, but he also would like to take a year or two off from school to see if he can make it in the music industry as a performer. If he does not go into performance, he said he would still like to produce and sing, as well as be a doctor. He has a nine-track EP called “On a C-rius Note,” that he produced himself. He is not signed but would like to start his own record label. “We gotta start from somewhere,” Unogu said.

begins when self-proclaimed invisible high school student Olive (Emma Stone) lies about losing her virginity to a college freshman. The school’s Christian enthusiast Marianne (Amanda Bynes) overhears, and soon the rumor is spread throughout the school. After trying to clear her name, to no avail, Olive goes along with the rumor and quickly becomes the go-to girl for pretend trysts for gay guys and guys who want to prove that nerds can get girls too. The majority of the school protests her alleged promiscuity as Olive begins a fight to clear her name, realizing that sometimes having no popularity is better than being infamous. Stone shines in this movie with her comedic beats. The movie also has an incredible star power, including Lisa Kudrow, Stanley Tucci and Penn Badgley. Stone fans will not be disappointed. And if you’re a fan of comedy, you will most likely enjoy this movie.

by Stieg Larsson brilliantly combines all these elements to form one fantastic book. “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”revolves around Harriet Vanger, a relative of one of Sweden’s richest families, who disappeared 40 years ago. All these years later, her aging uncle wants to solve this case. He does so by hiring journalist Michael Blomkvist, who was trapped by a libel conviction, to investigate the disappearance. Blomkvist is aided by the tattooed, pierced, and rebellious Lisbeth Salander, who is a computer hacker. They find that the disappearance of Harriet Vanger is related to a series of gruesome murders, sending both Blomkvist and Salander deeper into the Vanger family.They learn that corruption, murder, mystery, and drama play a key role in solving this case. It is one of those books that will keep you entertained throughout and will not leave you disappointed.

Faculty artist series presents French Music for Winds By Jennifer Garrett STAFF WRITER The Faculty Artist Series presented its second installment, “French Music for Winds,” on Sept. 20 in the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center. The event was the second in a four-part series that concludes in early October. In total, 11 members of the University of Indianapolis music department staff will perform parts of the series. At the Sept. 20 event, viewers were a plethora of ages, ranging from children

to adults. The event pulled in guests from the campus community and the community at large. Kari Dunn of Indianapolis said she immensely enjoyed the experience. “It reminded me that life isn’t always about the hustle and bustle. You can actually take the time to breathe sometimes,” Dunn said. The event started with a selection of three pieces: “Trios Pieces Brèves,” “Caprice on Danish and Russian Airs, Op.79” and “Esquisse.” After a short intermission, the musicians performed an additional two selections. The first of these additional pieces

was,“Sonata for Basson and Piano, Op. 79” This selection included three movements: allegretto moderato, allegro scherzando and molto adagio. The second piece was, “Sextet for Piano, Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon and Horn.” The three movements included allegro vivace, diverissement: andantino and finale: prestissimo. The Faculty Artist Series involves the University of Indianapolis Music Department faculty as well as guest artists. Seven UIndy professors performed at this event. Adjunct Professor Anne Reynolds was the flutist for the event. Adjunct Professors Cathyrn Gross and David Bellman

Commuter Centered to Dorm Driven

How UIndy has changed its image from commuter oriented to a prosperous residence life By Bob Helfst DISTRIBUTION MANAGER The infrastructure of the University of Indianapolis has undergone many changes throughout the years. The green lawns, concrete steps and canal of Smith Mall were at one time a primary parking lot for UIndy. The conversion of the lot to the current green, open space, completed in the early 90s, marked the beginning of a rapid campus expansion through new buildings and renovations. Chair of the History and Political Science Department Lawrence Sondhaus, a professor at UIndy since 1987, remembered a very different campus image when the university was more geared toward commuters. “I remember walking from building to building across that big parking lot and seeing students sitting in their cars, studying or sitting in their cars eating lunch, and that was kind of the image of the school at the time,” Sondhaus said. Prior to the new construction in the 90s, a Marsh grocery store was located directly behind the library. In order to build the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center, the property was demolished to make room. According to Sondhaus, the design of Christel DeHaan was a big step for the university, as it features unique design elements that create an aestheti-

cally pleasing and functional interior and exterior. When UIndy was ready to begin construction of the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center in 1991, they hired Ken Piepenbrink to lead the construction phase. Since Piepenbrink became a part of the UIndy staff, he has had a key role in every building constructed or renovated on campus. The identity of the campus has changed drastically, moving from a small commuter campus to having a consistently high student presence in the dorms. “The turning point was probably in 1993 or 1994 when we did the campus site improvement. When we built Smith Mall, we built a lot of new parking lots and pushed a lot of the parking to the perimeter of campus and tried to make it more pedestrian,” Piepenbrink said. “From being here, that was a very visible point of the campus changing, even during construction.” The construction has continued at a steady pace since then, punctuated by multiple renovations of the Schwitzer Student Center, the renovation of Warren Hall and the construction of East Hall, to name a few. Even with the recent additions of these dormitories, the campus still experiences overcrowding in the parking lots and in the living

A closer look at

spaces. Two additional lots near Warren Hall were quickly constructed and opened on Sept. 7. “We were lucky in being able to expand some parking… we have a lot of parking but everybody is so used to having convenient parking that having to walk one lot away or from one side of campus to the other is more of an issue than having no parking at all,” Piepenbrink said. “We’re not bussing people in; we’re not having to park at an auxiliary lot four or five blocks like a lot of campuses do.” This year’s start had its difficulties, but Piepenbrink feels things are better than they could be. “[New students] are coming in and they don’t know the history. They only see what they see when they get here and want that improved, which I think we do a good job of,” Piepenbrink said. “We’ve actually done a lot, every year, to try and make things better.”

Professor Perspectives UIndy professors who were once UIndy students talk about the changes the campus has experienced By Haley Vannarsdall FEATURE EDITOR

Dr. Linda Rodebaugh

Prof. John Price

Q.) When did you attend Indiana Central College and what was your degree(s)? A.) ASN (Associate of Science in Nursing) 1974; BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) 1976; Note that when I attended ICC, the nursing program was a 2 + 2 format, meaning that all nursing majors went through the ASN program first, then took the licensing exam to become an RN.

Q.) What years did you attend Indiana Central College? A.) I received my Associates Degree in 1982 and now I teach at IUPUI and the University of Indianapolis.

Q.) What have been the most drastic changes around campus? A.) Changes in campus buildings! Warren Hall was New Dorm; Krannert was Cravens. Trimble Hall, Dailey Hall, Buxton Hall, and one other men’s dorm don’t even exist anymore. My nursing class was so big that the only space large enough to hold all of us was the former Recital Hall located in Good Hall. Q.) What was the food like here when you attended? A.) The famous Freshman 15 existed back then too, so perhaps one could say not a whole lot has changed. I remember they used to have a donut maker and would make the best fresh donuts for breakfast. Q.) How big were your class sizes? A.) My nursing class started with 123 students and we graduated with 88. Because of the way our classes had to be scheduled to work around clinicals, we were in nearly all of our classes with the same nursing students and unfortunately didn’t get to meet many students outside of the nursing major in the ASN program. Q.) How has the technology changed? A.) There is no comparison! Computers didn’t exist; we only had calculators. It was pretty unheard of to have a TV in your dorm room. You could pay to have a phone installed and pay the monthly phone bill. Of course there were no cell phones, etc. Q.) What is a piece of advice you have learned and want to pass on to fellow greyhounds? A.) Enjoy your time as a college student. Study hard and learn what you can from your professors.

Q.) What was different then compared to now? A.) The administrative building was in Good Hall, the parking was where the canal is and the library wasn’t built. It was located in Esch. Between Schwitzer and Lilly were dorms. Schwitzer was not as nice as it is now. Q.) What were some social differences around campus? A.) I was a non-traditional student taking classes at night and I attended through the American Institute of Banking, which paid for my tuition and books. The bookstore used to get your books for you according to your class schedule. Q.) What do you think have been some of the most prominent and rewarding changes? A.) I believe it is the growth in the student body and building programs such as Martin, the library and Schwitzer center. Q.)What do you miss most about Indiana Central University? A.) I still attend college even as a teacher and I realize I will always be a student and always be learning something new everyday. Q.) If you could go back in time and bring one item back from ICU, what would it be and why? A.) The old computer in the basement of Good Hall; it was the size of a desk. We had to use IBM punch cards. Q.) What were some technological differences and how were the class sizes different? A.) Classes were large; there was no technology, not even calculators and we had to do everything manually. The classrooms were much larger than they are now. Also, we had to take a short hand writing class, which isn’t required now.

Growing Pains

was the first dormitory to have single rooms

Increasing enrollment is a university objective, but also creates other problems for students By Jacki Dillman and Sarah Haefner EDITOR IN CHIEF AND MANAGING EDITOR University of Indianapolis junior Kendal Dunn found an unexpected surprise on the windshield of his car when he returned to it after his classes. Forced to park in the Shelby Bowl parking lot when all commuter parking spots on campus were full, Dunn received a note asking him not to repeat the offense. Freshman Brooke Stepp had a similar jolting experience when she arrived on campus to find herself in a three-occupant dorm room, instead of the typical dual occupancy rooms UIndy offers. The room was arranged in such a way that Stepp’s bed is so close to the ceiling she doesn’t even have enough room to sit on it to study or read. Stepp and Dunn are just two students who have experienced the fallout from the growth UIndy has experienced over the last several years.

As students across campus search desperately for open parking spaces, seats in their classrooms and room to stretch in crowded dorms, their slight irritation may lead to a broader curiosity concerning growth and what these changes imply about the future of the University of Indianapolis. “We received 2,300 more applications than we had the year before. It was kind of coming at us and to get control of it was not easy,” Weigand said. According to Weigand, the university denied admittance to more students this year than it ever has— nearly 600 individuals. Increasing interest in the health science fields, as well elementary education, psychology, international business and social work propelled a growth in those major areas. The university did enroll about

262 more students this year than last year, including 111 more freshmen. The retention rate from freshmen to sophomore year also increased three percentage points. Growth can be contributed to a myriad of reasons. Vice President of University Advancement, Jim Smith, explained that UIndy has done a lot of work to get more widespread recognition of campus, which has been a contributing factor to the swelling enrollment number. “In the past, the university didn’t really talk about itself, but in the last several years we have had an excellent marketing team that has done a tremendous job for the school,” Smith said. The university, however, was preparing to accept more students this year than in the last few years. “It isn’t as though we just opened

up the doors and let everybody come,” President Beverley Pitts said. “In fact, we have a strategic plan and it called for us to be at about 5,000 [students]. We’re at 5,240 students.” Although this increased interest may seem like a good thing for the university, managing such growth is a bit complicated. Registrar Mary Beth Bagg explained that for UIndy, growing strategically is the key to growing successfully. “You face challenges and also opportunities when you experience growth like we have,” Bagg said. “To be successful, there has to be a strategy to the growth.” The university’s official strategic plan encompasses the vision that top officials have for the school’s future. “I see the university at about 5,000 to 5,500 students,” Pitts said. “We do

not want to lose the culture of the small school experience.” Weigand also suggested the more common use of waitlists and capped enrollments for specific programs. “If we don’t cap programs that reached their capacity, I think the quality of those programs could go down,” Weigand said. Bagg agreed that the program quality could decrease if they reach capacities. “We have a good reputation for serving our students, but we have to maintain the programs to back it up, regardless of how much we are growing,” Bagg said. Pitts explained that all the campus changes are occurring to meet the needs of the students that are here, not to continue growing in size. Bagg added that the university has experienced a lot of healthy growth and the future of the school looks bright.

Intramural sports kick off fall season

SEPTEMBER 29, 2010

New soccer coach makes difference By Kellie Donnelly EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

By Greg Lyons STAFF WRITER The fall season of intramural sports, which began Sept. 19, ushered in an atmosphere of intense competition. Flag Football, Volleyball, Softball and Ultimate Frisbee will be offered this fall. According to Student Activities Coordinator Stephanie Barry, flag football appears to be the headliner this year, with 10 teams of over 12 players already accounted for. The season began on Sunday, Sept. 19, and they have had games every succeeding Sunday. However, students still have time to join. “If you come looking for a team, we’ll help you find one,” Barry said. Barry said that she encourages all students to participate. Senior Taylor Ownings has participated in intramural sports for the past four years. “Get a group of friends together, find a team and get plugged in,” he said. “If you see a group of guys throwing the Frisbee on the lawn, go ask if they have a team.” As for the officiating of the intramural games, Ownings said he has been pleased with the students who volunteer to organize and run the them. “They do a good job of keeping it fair,” he said. Ownings will be playing Frisbee this fall, and he said eight teams have already formed with 12 players on each team. When competing at least three women and three men are out on the field. “Frisbee is very competitive on this campus,” he said. Barry also mentioned that practices for individual teams are scheduled by the team captains, and do not usually cross paths with other sports teams currently in season. “The season ends the week before finals, and that way students won’t have to worry about a competition,”Barry said. “And can concentrate on their studies.” Students unable to participate in the fall season of intramural sports can look to the spring season when basketball, soccer, baseball, and kickball will be offered. “Basketball is by far the most popular intramural sport,” Barry said. “It can be very intense.” Ownings had similar things to say about it. “Frisbee is competitive, women’s volleyball is competitive, but basketball is probably the most heated. It’s a just a fun way to keep being an athlete. It’s a good way to keep competing.”

Bermuda Bound

At Key Stadium, starting forward for the Greyhounds Roger Lee attempts a goal during the second half of the game against Saint Joseph on Sept. 24. Lee will spend two weeks playing for the Bermuda U-20 National team this October.

to Florida next month to play for the Bermuda U-20 National Team By Kellie Donnelly EDITORIAL ASSISTANT Men’s soccer player Roger Lee is taking two weeks off from school and the University of Indianapolis soccer season to travel to Florida to play for the Bermuda U-20 National Team Oct. 16 -25. Lee, UIndy’s starting forward from Southampton, Bermuda, is a leading goal scorer for the UIndy men’s soccer team. As a freshman, he started all 17 matches and was second on the team in goals with nine to his credit. As a sophomore, he already has two goals in just the first four games. According to Lee, he will travel to Florida to train with the Bermuda team and play in the first round of the U-20 world qualifiers. The Bermuda team is grouped with Antigua and Barbuda, Haiti and the host Guadalupe. While away, Lee will miss Great Lakes Valley Conference games against Rockhurst, Maryville and Missouri S&T universities. According to head coach John Higgins, Lee will be missed greatly by the UIndy men’s team. “He is one of the few players in our league that has the ability to hold the ball with his back to goal,” Coach Higgins

said.“We’ve never really had that in our program before even when I was a player.” “His speed and strength on the field are always a challenge to opponents and are very hard to replace,” senior midfielder Scott Gyllenborg said. While playing for two different countries in two different leagues, Lee has noted the different styles of play for the American team versus the Bermudan team. “Training for the national team focuses mainly on the technical aspect of the game,” he said. “In Bermuda the players are more technically sound, whereas at UIndy the play is more physical.” This difference is emphasized by the fact that Lee is a forward for the Greyhounds, a goal scoring position, yet has played right back and center back for the Bermuda team, both defensive positions. Despite this, Lee said the overall styles of both team’s games are similar- a lot of passing and movement of the ball. Although Lee is an essential part of the UIndy men’s soccer game and will miss three crucial games, this opportunity has benefits. “There is no way I would ever stand in his way,” Higgins said. “It is a great opportunity as a player. If I had the chance I would play for my country.”

Furthermore, while Lee is away, another player will get an opportunity to start and get some valuable minutes in before tournament time. Freshman Jason Krummen, among others, have seen time in the position as substitute and will benefit from the extra minutes. While Lee is in Florida, he will get to brush up on his technical skills right before the GLVC tournament by playing at the national level. “I feel that playing for the National Team is a great privilege,”Lee said. “And benefits me because I’m playing with the best players.” In addition to missing two weeks of soccer, Lee will also miss two weeks of classes. He said he has already worked to get all of his assignments beforehand, so he will not fall behind in school and will complete them while in Florida via email. “The plan is to get the work that I am going to miss so I can do it while I’m not here,” Lee said. Lee’s first weekend back from the trip will see the beginning of the GLVC conference tournament. If the Hounds win the conference tournament, they will gain an automatic seed in the NCAA tournament and a chance at the NCAA division II national championship.

The University of Indianapolis men’s soccer team began the season with a 4-2 start in the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) and currently stands in fourth place in the GLVC standings. The Greyhounds opened conference play on Sept. 5 with a come from behind 3-1 victory over the University of Missouri St. Louis (UMSL). At the time, UMSL was ranked ninth in the GLVC and UIndy was ranked tenth. They followed with two key victories against conference opponents Kentucky Wesleyan and Southern Indiana Universities on Sept. 10 and Sept. 12. Both were 2-0 shutout wins, which boosted the team considerably in the GLVC rankings. After going up 1-0 against top-ranked GLVC opponent and nationally ranked #6 Northern Kentucky University, the hounds lost 5-2 on Sept. 17. The following Sunday, they fell 3-1 to Bellarmine University. They faced another GLVC foe on Sep. 24, Saint Joseph University, and fell behind 1-0 before half. Junior Tom McGuire and sophomore Bobby Adkins each tallied a second half goal to pull off the 2-1 win. Sophomore Bobby Adkins leads the team with four goals, sophomore Max Marsh has three while Roger Lee and Corey Nelson, also sophomores, have two goals apiece. J u s t i n Roberts, goal keeper who has tended HIGGINS the net for all five games thus far, attributes this season’s early success to how hard the teams had worked in preseason. “Early success has come from the hard work in the off-season and the desire to get better and ready for the season. The difference from last season is more fitness and better focus at practice,” Adkins said. Last season, the men started 2-3-1 against the same six opponents.. The Greyhounds were considered a young team last year with five freshmen starters and only one consistent senior starter. This year there are only two seniors, leaving a core group of juniors and sophomores to carry the team. “We still have the same core group of players out on the field that have a good history of playing with each other,” Roberts said. Another change from last season has

Greyhound Club sponsors campus mile walk Students participated in the UIndy Mile Walk/Run on Sept. 11 in order to raise funds for the Greyhound Club to improve Key Stadium By Jason Newhouse STAFF WRITER

Mike Candy came in second overall with a time of 9:54.3 at UIndy’s Campus MIle Run/Walk on Sept. 11.

On Sept. 11, 2010, nearly 100 people crossed the finish line at Key Stadium during halftime at the University of Indianapolis football opener after they participated in the UIndy Campus Mile Run/Walk. The mile long event ran through the UIndy campus, and was designed for both those who wanted to run it or those who just casually and socially wanted to walk. Either way, all participants crossed the same finish line during halftime. Matt Donovan, associate director of the Greyhound Club, said that it’s a model used by high schools, but altered slightly from the high school model to end cross-country meets during football games. “The idea kind of clicked because it is a really unique idea,” he said. Last year, 10 to 15 participants entered the event that was then put on by the Greyhound Club and Standing O Promotions. This year, since the event fell on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the UIndy Army ROTC joined as a sponsor. “[The UIndy Army ROTC] was really excited about this event,” Donovan

said.“They were really the sponsor that fueled the event and it all came together perfectly because the event, which was [on] 9/11.” This year approximately 100 people entered, with the proceeds going toward program enhancements and facility upgrades in the athletics department.One such project will be the addition of metal conference championship banners that will go around the outside of Key Stadium. Participants WENNING included UIndy students in the kinesiology department, UIndy Army ROTC cadets, UIndy alumni. As well as both UIndy basketball teams,UIndy students and the general public. Hillary Wenning, a senior guard for the UIndy women’s basketball team was among those who participated in this years Mile Walk/Run. “Coach [Freeland] mentioned it to us one day after practice. The three seniors thought it would be a good opportunity

to bond as a team and support our fellow athletes.” All participants completed an entire mile through the UIndy Campus with the swim teams and softball team volunteering as course directors. All the runners and walkers finished on the track at Key Stadium in front of the home crowd during halftime of the game against Ashland. “It was kind of a fun feeling running back into the stadium in front of everybody there on the home straightaway,” Wenning said. Donovan expected only 30 to 40 people to participate this in this years UIndy Campus Mile Run/Walk, but instead had close to 100 participants. “Compared to last year the success was great,” he said.“We were really pleased with the turnout.” Donovan said that part of the increase could be attributed to a slight change in the event’s name. Last year it was called the Fastest Mile Run/Walk. By calling it the UIndy Campus Mile Run/Walk drew the attention of more social walkers who wouldn’t otherwise want to run the whole distance. Next year’s UIndy Campus Run/Walk will be during Greyhounds home football game at Key Stadium on Oct. 15, 2011.

UINDY HOUNDS BITTEN BY THE HUSKIES Michigan Tech defeated UIndy, 24-10.

By Haley Vannarsdall FEATURE EDITOR

By Jason Newhouse STAFF WRITER

The University of Indianapolis Greyhounds have now lost two consecutive games against undefeated teams and are now 2-2 on the season. The Greyhounds were beaten by the Michigan Tech Huskies, 24-10 on Saturday Sept. 25 after losing to Grand Valley State the previous week. The Greyhounds were without the talents of junior quarterback Rob Doyle against the Huskies as he suffered a shoulder injury during the Grand Valley game. Freshman Chris Mills was able to start in his place. UIndy scored first as an Alex Byrnes interception in the first quarter set up an Aaron Puntarelli 20-yard field goal. Michigan Tech answered back a quarter later as a 6-yard run by Michigan Tech running back Phil Milbrath put the Huskies up 7-3. After halftime, Milbrath found the end zone again to put Michigan Tech up 14-3. On the very next drive, Mills found sophomore receiver Mar’Quone Edmonds for a 56-yard touchdown and Mill’s first touchdown as a Greyhound. The Michigan Tech running attack eventually wore down the Greyhounds defense in the second half as they rushed over 50 times during the contest for 247 yards. Huskie halfback Akeem Cason scored mid-way through the fourth quarter to give the Huskies a 14 point victory. “The bottom line is that we have to take advantage of those turnovers,” head coach Bob Bartolomeo said. On Sept. 18, went up against the number one team in the country, Grand Valley State, and lost in the final minute. Both teams traded punches for four quarters before the Lakers eventually got the upper hand. However UIndy tied the game late in the fourth quarter with a Paul Corsaro six-yard run into the end zone. The score was tied 31-31 with just over three minutes left in the fourth quarter. The Lakers scored with 30 seconds left.

New athletic center underway

Sophomore Mar’Quone Edmonds is tackled by a Michigan Tech player during the first half of the game on Sept. 25 at Key Stadium . Edmonds went on to score a 56-yard touchdown for the Greyhounds later in the game.

This gained the Greyhound their first loss of the season with a final score of 38-31. “Had a few things gone differently, we could have pulled out the win,” Doyle said after he completed half of his passes for 146 yards and a touchdown of his own to Edmonds, “we’re happy with the effort. We did what we could, unfortunately we came up short.” A new emphasis on the running game this season has produced mixed results. After rushing for over 200 yards against Kentucky Wesleyan in the

season opener, the Greyhounds rushed for only 11 yards against Ashland. The ground game rebounded for over 100 yards against Grand Valley then only ran for 14 yards against the Huskies. “To win football games you have to be able to operate in both dimensions...run and pass,” sophomore Joumeel McLaurine said before the Michigan Tech game. “If we can’t run the ball the defense won’t respect it and concentrate on stopping the pass. We can’t win that way.” Before the season, Bartolomeo said he wanted to improve the special teams.

The focus on the squad seems to have paid dividends. Senior punter Tyran Fakes was 15th in the country in yards per punts (an average of 42) going into last Saturday’s game against Michigan Tech. The return game and the kickoff coverage squads have improved as well. Ryan Forney has a punt return for a touchdown to his credit and has been effective in kickoff returns as well. The Greyhounds kick off the rest of the season with a battle against the Findlay Oilers on Saturday at in Findlay, Ohio.

A new addition to the University of Indianapolis, Student Athletics and Recreation Center (SARC) actually has undergone much more progress than what appears on the outside according to Physical Plant Director Ken Pipenbrink. Construction crews have started site work, begun the foundation, set up underground utilities and secured the site with temporary fencing. The original plan was to have the SARC finished by December 2010, but now it’s postponed to January 2011. When the Super Bowl became involved, the physical plant had to redesign the building, making it 30 percent larger, which required new permits and put construction a month behind schedule. Since the Super Bowl’s incorporation, their once tight budget, which required elimination of carpeting and extra space, is now available. Multiple teams will be able to perform activities with more space. “It’s going to be bigger and better than what we thought,” Pipenbrink said. “Whatever delays...The benefits will definitely outweigh the downfalls.” The new redesign allows for a much larger dome and for them to finish more areas instead of the partial finish before. “Because of the Super Bowls involvement, the facility had to be larger to accommodate them,”said Athletics Director Sue Willey.“There’s now turf, a bigger venue for fans, an indoor track, multipurpose space for intramurals, soccer or other activities or even a concert or dance.” The 2011 NFC pre-Super Bowl teams now have a place to practice, which is the reason the Super Bowl got involved. “Everyone thinks were getting tons of money because of this, but actually were just getting the money needed to accommodate the Super Bowl such as the turf and the larger dome,” Willey said. Another new addition to the sports facilities is the construction of a new baseball diamond. “We plan on having everything ready for the spring season,” Piepenbrink said. “Everything should be complete by the end of the year.”

New players create a new challenge By Bob Helfst DISTRIBUTION MANAGER

Junior Megan Grassly attempts a goal in the match against Saint Joseph on Sept. 24 at Key Stadium. Greyhounds won 3-0, breaking their two game losing streak and giving the team their first win of the season.

The University of Indianapolis women’s soccer team graduated five players last year. However, according to head coach Geoffrey VanDuesen other players are ready to fill their positions. “Losing those seniors was a blow to us, but it was also an opportunity for others to step up, and it’s going to happen,” said Coach Geoffrey VanDeusen. While the freshman class is promising, many are sidelined with injuries. The team struggled to score a goal early this season, which poses an interesting problem for the team. “The positive thing about it is now any one person can step up on any given day. On any given day, it can be any one of our players who step up. That’s motivating and awesome,” Libby Anderl, team cocaptain said. The team was handed a 2-0 loss from Southern Indiana on Sept. 12, despite 11 Greyhound shots on the goal. On Sept. 15, Northern Kentucky University scored two goals in the second claiming victory over UIndy and dropping the hounds to 0-4-1 for the season. The Northern Kentucky University defense held the Greyhounds to only three shots

MIDNIGHT MATCHES

SOCCER COACH from page 9

UIndy students form impromptu sand volleyball teams for late night fun every night of the week By Elizabeth Wheeler & Ashley Keihn SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT EDITORS Students looking for more active things to do in the late evening hours then doing homework or climbing into bed may want to grab an energy drink and head outside for a rousing game of midnight sand volleyball outside the Schwitzer Student Center. Started by a group of friends with a fondness for the game, what midnight volleyball lacks in structure and professionalism, it makes up for in fun. “One day Hardy (Howard) said, ‘Volleyball at midnight?’ My first thought was that’s crazy! My next thought? Let’s do it,” senior Travis Gaddis said. “It’s a unique thing to be a part of and it’s fun. Visibility of the ball is about 50-70% what it is during the day and the atmosphere at night is much more exciting most of the time.” Typically teams of six play, but when there are more than 12 people at the court then players are rotated in and out during a game so everyone has a chance on the court. “It depends on how many show up at the court,” Howard said. “Sometimes we have six show up and other times we have as many as 30 people show up wanting to play. Teams change after every series and new people are always wanted.” According to Gaddis, new captains

On Sept. 26, 2010 at UIndy sand volleyball court Travis Gaddis and Hardy Howard play a game of rock paper scissors to determine whose team would serve first. and teams are chosen after every series, or three games. Games typically go to 25 points and the best of three games wins. New captains are chosen by “nose goes” and occasionally rock, paper, scissors. New teams are selected and the series starts over. Howard added that it is common to have people on the sidelines, doing homework, socializing and even cheering the teams on.

“It feels great to hear people laughing and yelling your name as you spike the ball,” Howard said. “It makes the game even more enjoyable.” Despite the name, games aren’t always played at midnight. “Whenever we can play, we play. We all have different homework and commitments at different times. I only got to play twice in the last seven days because of homework, but I played 13 days in a

on goal. Shae Morris, the UIndy goalie had eight saves for the night. “It’s just that we’re kind of in this mental block of ‘we can’t score, we haven’t scored yet,’ and I think it’s kind of getting to everyone and making them kind of cautious in how they play,” said Morris. Conference rival Bellarmine University defeated UIndy 1-0 on Sept. 19. UIndy struggled to find the net with only two shots on goal. The Greyhounds snapped their losing streak with a 3-0 victory against Saint Joseph’s on Sept. 24. The three points were delivered in the second half by freshmen Kaitlyn Braunig and Nicole Duncan and junior Megan Grassly. “It was kind of cool to see that it wasn’t one person who stepped up tonight; it was three different people. I think that gives all of our players confidence in that we have an offensive spark and it isn’t coming from just one person- it’s coming from the team,” said Anderl. With difficult games ahead, the 1-51 record (1-4-1 conference). “They’re not expecting us to play with them,” Anderl said. “And that’s what I think we’ll do to every team the rest of this season. You’re not expecting us to play like this and we’re going to. We don’t give up.”

row at the beginning of the year. We play at midnight or during the day,”Gaddis said. Anyone is welcome to play. In fact, players often try to recruit people to play as they walk by during games. “If you see Travis and I out and about just stop and ask one of us about when we are playing. We send out a mass text message... Telling everyone when we are playing so you can show up and play or just come to the court.”

Second Season Victory

been in the head coaching position. John Higgins, former standout UIndy soccer player and last year’s assistant coach, was promoted to Interim Head Coach last spring season. Some of the changes Higgins has brought to the team include an increased amount of fitness at practice, more emphasis on team bonding and a focus on the team rather than the individual. It is not uncommon when the men score a goal to see them run to the sidelines and celebrate with Higgins rather than congratulate the individual who scored. Adkins added that not only has the team bonded well, but there is a different attitude with the team and coaching staff. “There is a lot you don’t realize as an assistant coach that the head coach does. There is a lot of off the field stuff,” Higgins said. “You have to worry about the budget, traveling itinerary and other things. As an assistant, you just worry about practice.” Looking ahead, the Greyhounds hope to keep their winning record, finish strong in the GLVC. “It’s the same reoccurring goal every year but we all believe in ourselves this year,” said Roberts, “some of our biggest challenges will be to show the rest of the conference and our school that we are a good team and can win the conference tournament. The Greyhounds continue conference play with Lewis University, who made the NCAA final four last season, on Oct. 1 and University of WisconsinParkside on Oct. 3. Both games will be held at Key Stadium.

However, Jaymee Reynolds,setter, Brianna Gannon, libero and Hannah Kirk, middle hitter, are all freshman that have acquired significant playing time thus far in the matches this season. “So far this season, we’re still adapting as a team.

We’re just still learning how to play with different people,” sophomore middle hitter Amber Lucas said.
