Indiana Governor Frank O’Bannon
(above) died in a Chicago hospital on
Saturday after suffering a massive
stroke five days earlier. According to
doctors,- the governor, 73, suffered too
much brain damage and excessive
hemorrhaging for them to save him.
O’Bannon is survived by his wife, Judy
and three children.
Change seems to be the name
of the game at the Polk Food
Service ( P F S ) this semester.
Every year from the time they
joined University of Indianapolis,
about 20 years ago, PFS has been
making changes to better itself.
There has been an addition of
46 new items to the school’s
menu. Handmade dishes like
casseroles and wraps are now part
of the cuisine too. The Panini
grill. a new station where students
can make their own combos and
cook them on the grill, is afeature
that is popular with cafeteria
goers.
N o t only has PFS increased
the number of food items but
nutritional value has also become
a priority. This includes the salad
bar that has been upgraded with
low fat and low sugar desserts.
Wok dishes are now made to order
so students can personalize their
dishes and choose what they
would like to eat.
There have been changes made
at Streets Corner as well. The
meal tickets now carry an extra
dollar so students can have more
to eat. ‘There has also been an
addition of salads and baked
potatoes to the line at Streets.
For those students who are
concerned about their diets, the
healthier dishes are something
they can look forward to.
The sack lunches also offer
more options this year. Instead of
pre-packaged sack lunches,
students can assemble their own.
These include, rice and pasta
bowls, stuffed sandwiches, potato
salad, cottage cheese and chef
salads.
Why all the change? There are
a number of factors. Jim Smith,
head chef at PFS, attributes it to
new staff members along with
some o f the old staff, who have
come from other eateries such as
Outback Steak Houseand Eagle’s
Nest.
They felt that the cafeteria
needed to be upgraded. “The
college offers top notch education
and we want to do our part by
offering top notch food to our
students,’’ Smith said.
Ted Polk, manager of PFS also
mentioned that he has been
attending NACUFS (National
Association of College and
University Food Services) along
with universities like IUPUI and
Notre Dame. He got some ideas
from there. “We just put the ideas
into action,” said Polk. A major

part of the change comes as a
result of Smith and Polk putting
their heads together.
The question that still lingers
is whether the students are happy
with the service.
Sophomore Heidi Merkel
mentioned that the salad bar and
the sack lunches are better this
semester. However, other changes
weren’t evident. “I haven’t
noticed any change at the line,”
she said. Sophomore Jun IL Song,
an international student,
mentioned that he would like to
see more international cuisine at
the line. Both students favored
The Panini grill. “The Panini grill
is pretty good. I can pick my
favorite stuff and put it in,” Song
said.

staff congratulating them on the
improvements by PFS. Polk and

feedback.
“We would like any sori o f

INTERNAT IONA L CAMPUS
U of I branch campus, Mar Elias, to open in Israel
Organizers hope to encourage learning both at home and abroad
The University of Indianapolis
recently announced the opening of anew
branch campus in Ibillin. Galilee in Israel.
The new campus, officially known as
Mar Elias University Campus, was
formedinconnection withRev. Dr. Elias
Chacour’s Mar Elias Educational
Institutions, and will be the country’s
first Christian-Arab-Israeli institution.
University of Indianapolis President
Jerry Israel is excited about this new
partnership.
“This is another example of ways,
especially in the Mediterranean region
of the world, that the University has
developed partnerships that help our
faculty and students gain a better insight
into issues of significance in that part of
the world,” he said.
T h e school will offer three
baccalaureate programs: computer
science, environmental science/
chemistry and communications.
Currently these programs offer the most
promising post-graduation opportunities
in Israel.
According to Dr. Mary Moore, vice
president for research, planning and
strategic partnerships, the university will university without a partnership with an

U of1 first learned about Mar Elia:, in and the programs are scheduled to start

Like Moore, Chase also expects Mar
Elias to provide new opportunities for
students. “We hope togive anopportunity
to students who otherwise might not have
it ...to be able to get an American
education that really wasn’t going to be
a possibility for them before,” she said.
While it is likely that some Israeli
students will be studying for a semester
at U of I within the coming years, it may
be some time before U of I students will
be able to study in Israel, mainly because
of safety concerns regarding the volatility
and political instability in the region.
President Israel noted his concern.
We have no intention for our students to
go there right now. I think the program
will begin with students in lsrael who
will live there, some of whom, as they
get ready will probably come here as
international students. Should we ever
get to the point where the situation in
Israel is more stabilized and our
relationship has grown, if and only then
would we encourage our students to go.”
However, Israel does believe that
MarElias will be successful even without
the exchange of large numbers of
students.
“The program can operate in Israel
and here with faculty going back and
forth and students not going back and
forth in any large numbers until prctty
far down the road, and at first most ot thc
traffic would come from Israel to the
states. I hope we do have the opportunity
[in the future] to safely seiid large
numbers of students,” he said.
Having the campus connection i n
Israel opens many doors, especially for
Israeli students. Nisreen Deeb, Chacour‘s
niece and a U of I junior, explained her

said. Along with the chance to study,
Deeb believes that the university \vi11

Many people have high expectations
for Mar Elias and believe that it will
positively impact the U of I community
as a whole.
“I think we will become much more

Editor questions methods by which Thomas was fired
Lucas Klipsch
Mo/iacinc Editor
On Tuesday, Aug. 26, former
Indiana Pacers Head Coach Isiah
Thomas received a phone call in San
Juan, where he was volunteering with
the United States Olympic basketball
team as they attempted to qualify for
the 2004 summer Olympics. Thomas
was asked by Pacers CEO Donnic
Walsh to fly home. I’m pretty sure
Thomas knew what was com i ng .
The following day, Pacers President
of Basketball Operations and former
Head Coach Larry Bird fired Thomas.
The news came as quite a shock, not
only to the team, but to its fans. Ever
since the Pacers were eradicated in six
games by the Boston Celtics in the
first round of the playoffs last season,
Walsh has reassured sportswriters
around the city that Thomas’ job
would not be affected. So obviously
when I caught the “Fox 59 News
Break” i n the middle of “Jerry
Springer” one day. my law just about
hit the tl oor.
Before 1 rant. I’d like to get a few
things clear. I am not an lsiah Thomas
fan. I believe the adage that
exceptional players make average
coaches. at best, while mediocre
players tend to excel at coaching.
Take, for instance. former NBA threepoint acc Danny Aingc. Ainge spent
his career making fools out of the best
defenders, earning the nickname
“long-range Danny Ainge.” When he
decided to coach his former team, the
Phoenix Suns, Ainge found that his
rightful place was in the color
commentator’s booth, not on the
sidelines. Conversely. Phil Jacksoti‘s
Los Angeles Lakers have won NBA
championships in three of the past IOLW
seasons, and Phil himself was little
more than average at best. There are
exceptions to every rule, such a s Nets
Head Coach Byron Scott. ; i d L i r r j
Bird himself, who boasts the best
three-year record in NBA history. But
overall, I believe this rule, and Isiah
Thomas is a perfect example of ;Igood
player who made a poor coach. He
made important judgment calls and
personnel decisions based on his
emotions. He sat complacently as other
teams ran up leads on the Pacers. And
he hampered the development of
Jonathon Bender and Freddie Jones.
two young Pacers who are just full o f
potential.
New Pacers Head Coach and former
Detroit Coach Kick Carlisle should
have been hired at the beginning of the
2000-2001 season, instead of Thomas.
He’s a better coach, which he proved
by quietly turning the Pistons into one
of the best teams in the Eastern
Conference, even though they had no
star power. Carlisle was not hired
because, according to Walsh. the
Pacers needed an experienced leader
(i.e.. Thomas) in their rebuilding stage.

The Rej7ectol- is a student publication, and the opinions
contained herein are not necessarily those of the
University of Indianapolis. It is dedicated to providing
news to the university community in a fair and accurate manner.
The only experience Thomas had at the
time was his incredible playing career
(which is actually a strike against him
according to the above adage) and an
uneventful, if not unsuccessful, stint in
the front office of the Toronto Raptors.
But Wiilsh hired Thomas anyway, and
fans lived through two average
seasons, one above average season and
three first-round playoff exits.
I obviously don’t like Thomas as a
coach, but 1 will defend him to the
death 011 this issue. Why? Because the
I k w ~ administration
‘
has proven
itself dishonest and manipulative.
There are three basic problems with
the whole scenario.
First and foremost is the Jermaine
O‘Neal issue. O’Neal, the Pacers’
leading scorer and two-time all-star
blossomed under Thomas. In fact,
Thomas is the only coach who has ever
put O’Neal, a seven-year veteran. into
;I permanent starting role. According to
O’Neal, Thomas is the reason he has
developed significantly over the past
three years, not only as a player, but as
;I permi. This isn’t out of the ordinary.
Players and coaches get attached to
one another all the time. Unfortunately
O’Neal has become one of the best
players in the NBA, and before he resigned with the Pacers this summer
(when Thomas was still the coach), the
mo\t sought-after free agent in the
league. So, what did Walsh and Bird
(lo? They straight up lied to O’Neal
because they were afraid he would
jump ship if’ Thomas was fired, and
they were right. O’Neal said several
times that he would not re-sign without
Thomas. After O’Neal signed a sevenyear contract worth over $120 million,
Bird canned Thomas. Obviously
O’Neal, the franchise’s cornerstone
player, is not happy, and that’s not a
good scene. “Am I disappointed‘? Hell
yeah. I am extremely disappointed,”
O’Neal told the Associated Press
(w w w .espn.com).
Now O’Neal has reportedly spoken
with Carlisle, who thankfully, was one
of the coachcs M. hen he played in
Portland. However, I’m not sure that
miniscule tie will be enough to make
O’Neal forget the relationship he had
with Thomas.
Secondly, I am concerned about the
shady way Carlisle has been pursued.
Consider if you will, the great
coaching shuffle this past summer,
which sent several coaches to other
teams.
The best of the bunch, Carlisle, was
apparently overlooked, and he didn’t
even seem concerned about it. In fact,
the whole thing almost seems planned
from the start, which is awfully
dishonest if you ask me.
Thirdly, the Pacers only gave
Thomas four weeks to find a job. Sure,
he won‘t be hurting for money, but
what if he wants to try his luck making
some other team mediocre‘?
He obviously applied for the
position initially because he wanted to
coach basketball. It doesn’t matter
whether Thomas was a good or bad

coach, the fact remains that he
deserved a chance to pursue his
occupation of choice.
Will Thomas, now jobless, be
confined to the coaches’ purgatory
known as the TNT commentator’s
box? Or will he slink back to upper
management, where he failed before’?
Regardless, no one’s happy, especially
O’Neal, who said he would try to play
for Carlisle but next season will be a
different story. Apparently, Bird has
threatened to trade O’Neal if he didn’c
calm down about Thomas’ lit-ing. and
knowing the trigger happy “Larry
Legend,” O’Neal could be traded
tomorrow for one of Bird’s old huntin‘
buddies.
All I know is that something fishy
went on in this coaching change. I’d
love to see the Pacers go to the finals
with Carlisle, but with n o starting
center (Brad Miller was shipped to the
Sacramento Kings), an unhappy
starting power forward in O’Neal and ;I
plethora of newly acquired scrubs such
as Scott Pollard and Carl English, it’s
not looking good.
No one trusts Bird and Walsh now.
and no one should. They’ve trashed
their own reputations with this move.
The least they could have done was
give both O’Neal and Thomas a
chance to make informed career
decisions.
Instead they revealed thernselves a s
emotionless businessmen, and left our
organization with a dark cloud hanging
over an already disappointing scene.

H FUNDRAISING
UINDY exceeds fundraising goal
Campaign for UINDY sets record and goes beyond
Elyse Kaiser
Stuff Writer
T h e University of Indianapolis
fundraising campaign this year reached
its initial goal of $50 million. Originally
the campaign had four main objectives:
the first was to raise $20 million to be
used for the annual budget, scholarships,
faculty chairs, special programs and
salary enhancement.
The second was to raise $10 million
for strategic opportunities and technical
advances. The third was to raise $15
million for the Center for Aging and
Community.
The fourth was to raise $5 million for
the annual fund, which covers costs in
the annual budget, including financial
aid.
The leaders of the campaign attribute
their success largely to timing. “It was a
logical outcorne of a process that was
very carefully developed over time,”
President Jerry Israel said. “We didn’t
surprise our principal donor\. They
understood the need. They were a part of
the process in defining it. They knew all
along that ifwe were successful i n getting
our sights set ... that they would be asked
to, and expected to. stcp u p and try to
help,” he said.
Campaign leaders work hard to find
all types of donors. Approximately 95
percent of the money raised comes from
major donors who contribute $10,000 or
more. They account for about 5 percent
of all donors.
The largest contributor that U of 1
currently has is Christel DeHaan. chair
of the university’s board of trustees. who
has contributed much to the university,
including the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts
Center.
A variety of other donations come
from companies. such a s HH Gregg and
other major donors. The success of the
campaign, however, is not solely due to
a select group of major donors. Student-
staffed phone-a-thons and other such
fundraising events generate about 95
percent of the donors. These individual
donors u\ually give about $5,000or less.
After meeting and exceeding the
campaign’s expectations for the year,
campaign leaders raised the goal to $65
mi I1ion.
They also set new objectives including
$5.7 million forthe Center for Aging and
Community. $ 1 . S million for the
expansion of Each Hall, and $7.8 million
for the annual fund, endowment and
undesigiiated support that can be applied
to areas that need i t most.
According to Ken Sheetz, executive
director ofcapital gift programs, students
can get involved with the campaign in
several different ways. besides phone-at hons.
“Stutlcnts can consider making gifts
and pledges to the campaign prior to
graduating (and) encouraging their
parents to give to the campaign,” he said.

H ENROLLMENT
U of I reaches record high enrollment numbers
Susan Decker
Staff Writer
Theuniversity of Indianapolis has hit
an all time record high enrollment of
2,050 undergraduate students. U of I has
undergone a growth spurt to become the
home of more than 3,875 students. Last
year there were 3,687 total students.
At this time there is not an enrollment
cap. Administrators have a tough decision
to either limit the number of students or
to allow the university to continue
growing.
The university has many special things
that attract students. According to Dr.
David Wantz, vice president for student
affairs, “The university is a threshold for
compassion and concern, not to mention
that superior teaching and quality teachers
are very important to many students.”
The teacher to student ratio is 14: 1 one
of the smallest i n the state. “Our growth
is a result of everybody doing the right
thing,” said Wantz.
Another reason for the increased
enrollment is scholarships. Over 95% of
incoming freshman are receiving some
kind of afinancial assistance. According
to Ron Wilks. director o f admissions. the
university is increasing efforts to help
students and their families affordcollege.
One of these efforts is offering
scholarships to students. Students even
pulled together to lobby and protest
education cuts that would havc affected
the university.
“I think that it is acombination of our
culture and o u r location.” said Wilks. U
ofI’s location allows several partnerships
to be formed in the community.
Many students become involvcd i n
%
internships throughout the Indianapolis
metropolitan area. Culturally, the
university is home to over 229
international students. Students can
become involved in practical and applied
experiences while at the university.
“Prohubly one of the things that we
have done differently than i n the past is
an increased effort to increase awareness
of the image of the university in terms of
the advertising and getting our name out
there.” Wilks said.
Every two weeks a committee meets
to discu\s the university’s marketing and
promotional business. The university
sponson traffic reports with local Emmis
Broadcasting stations.
According to Wilks, advertisements
forthe university are placedstrategically
i n maga7ines for prospective students.
These combined efforts may have
contributed to the increasing enrollment

International students cope with
challenges of new environment
Tara Robinson
Stuff“ Writo.
Many people would agree that it is
not easy being the new kid in school.
Imagine being the new kid, in a new
country and learnin9 to adjust to a
whole new way of life. International
students at the University of
Indianapolis face this challenge while
they study here.
With over 200 international
students enrolled from over 60
countries, U of I is culturally diverse.
With this diversity, however, comes
some negative aspects.
Many of the international students
long for home and must cope with this
homesickness on a daily b
“I call home or talk to my
roommate, who is also an international
student, when I feel homesick,” said
Sayaka lzumi, a Japanese student who
has been in the United States for four
years.
These students miss many things
about their home countries. The
familiarities of their own countries,
including food and friends, are just a
few of the many things desired.
International students try to find
ways to feel more at home. Tatchapori
Atasirilak, a student from Thailand
who has been here for three years.
“Satellite television and food from my
country make America feel more like
home,” Atasirilak said.
Another way international students
cope is by forming relationships on
campus. This helps students to deal
with culture shock as well as
loneliness. David McNeice, a student
from Belfast, Northern Ireland. has
been here for five weeks, and says he
Archives renamed in honor of Hill

does not feel homesick yet, but he still
must adjust. “Other international
students who have experienced the
American way of life have helped me
out,” McNeice said.
Being homesick is not the only
adjustment faced by international
students. Mimi Chase, international
division director, said that these
students often have transportation
problems. Because they do not bring
their own cars to America, getting
around Indianapolis is a challenge.
International students can use public
transportation, including buses and
taxis or in some cases, ride with
friends who have cars on campus.
Language barriers create difficulties
in maintaining conversations with
other students and faculty. Izumi came
here while she was still in high school,
and the language barrier caused her
confusion in knowing what homework
was assigned.
According to Chase, Americans can
seem cold and uninviting, whereas
some international students come from
warmer and more inviting cultures.
Chase said that Americans are not
actually cold people, but they maintain
a larger personal space because of the
cultural value placed on privacy.
American students can find ways to
make international students feel more
comfortable and at home. “Reach out
to them right from the beginning. Just
say ‘Hi, where are you from?”’ Chase
said.
Chase also suggests that students
take an interest in international
students’ hobbies and majors. These
students have stepped out of their
comfort zones, and American students
can reciprocate by showing interest
and support, according to Chase.

“Working with students.” Hill said is
what he will miss most as he finally,
officiallv ends his U of 1 career.
“WhateGer the facet- whether in the
classroom or being a faculty advisor to
ii student organization or to a class, or
one-on-one interaction when they stop
by the office- that’s what it was about,
working with students,” said Hill.
Dcspitc his love for his career, Hill
felt his time to retire from teaching had
come when “with increasing frequency

realized that the analogies he had used
in classes for so many years to explain
a topic had become so outdated that he
found himself explaining his
explanations. He spent the next 15
years researching and writing the
university’s history.
Now officially retired, Hill plans to
do more traveling with his wife and
spend time cleaning out old files.
However, this does not mean he will
not be keen on campus anymore. He
intends to come back about once a

CDREVIEW
Kentucky hip-hop artists stay close to their ro
The country boys who Once
bellowed “Aww Naww” have “been
all ‘round the glohe from Monday to
Sunday,” with their nappiest track
ever, “Round the Globe.’. Nappy
Roots hail from Kentucky. where
Governor Paul Patton has proclaimed
Sept. 16 Nappy Roots Day. a
statewide holiday.
Although I’m not sure if schools
and businesses close, I wouldn’t mind
taking off for a day and making a
quick trip down 1-65 to relax among
some laidback country folk. From
what I hear, watermelon and grits are
delicacies. Albums hit the shelves
Aug. 26, and I just witne
video single, “Round the Globe,” on
BET.
The disc begins with the same style
as the group’s last album, in which B
seemingly young child or
underdeveloped muppet utters, “Hey
e’erybody, you dig’?” I thought I was
in store for another useless repeat
album like Nelly‘s “Nellyville.” but
after the third song. ”Nappy Roots
Day,” I was hooked and halfway to
Kentucky. The beat for this particular
song is among my favorites and
reminds me of some alternate
introduction song for “Shaft.” except
played on a kazoo. The song’s
ge seems to be that the six
cky boys fought through thick
and thin together to achieve their
current level of success.
“Round the Globe” offers
Americans the opportunity to share it
message of peace. The chorus. “Been
all around the globe from Monday to
Sunday. Y’all the same folh we see in
Kentucky,” conveys the idea that down
deep we’re all pretty much the same.
With :I guitar accompaniment and a
smooth bass line, the track has a way
of mesmerizing the listener’s ears.
After breaking from the album
because I had to go to
listening to the rest of the album a high
priority. The fifth track. “Lac Dogs
and Hogs,” tells how each country boy
adores his Cagillac. Cadillacs in the
rap world are a fixation. However,
Nappy Roots spices up the mix a little
by referencing restored 70s model
Cadillacs.
The sixth track isn’t that
ive: it only recounts their once
es. We heard this in their
previous album. On the other hand, I
suppose it is good that they haven’t
strayed too far from their roots.
The seventh track is even worse
than the sixth.
At best, the background sounds like
a cross between some sort of outdated
“Pong” noise and a readily deflating
whoopee cushion. The material
follows the six rappers’ infatuations
with an unnamed female wearing tiFht
jeans and merely depicts them as
walking hormones.
My morale suddenly improved
when I heard tracks eight and nine.
The heats are well composed and
reminiscent of early Ice Cube. All of
the teatiired rappers for these songs
have mellow and soothing voices.
The second half of “Wooden
Leather” starts with a particularly lowkey Lind somber track entitled “Push
On.” featuring r/b singer Anthony
Hami I ton.
The background sounds like an
early 90s Nate Dogg compilation,
while some members of Nappy rap in
their twangy southern style. Being a
six-niember Sroup, they couldn’t
include everyone in the song. So in
“Push On” only two of them are
rapping, the guttural and apparently
400-pound “Big V” and “B. Stilles.”
“Push On“ is a good example of
how Nappy Roots have changed their
style since “Watermelon, Chicken and
Gritz” (their first album). In “Wooden
Leather,” they obviously embrace a
more laid-back sound that incorporates
more r/b. I don‘t particularly like this,
but i t may grow on me.
Not only have Nappy Roots calmed
down and started singing, they’ve
started waxing political in quite a few
songs, which is surprising.
Although the group is probably
wealthy enough to afford a lifetime
supply of string beans and 100-spoke
wheels. they still seem angry at the
lopsided American socioeconomic
systcm. Songs such as “Push On,”
“Sick & Tired.” “Work in Progress”
and ”Roll Again” reference the
members’ once impoverished lives in
western Kentucky. In “These Walls,”
the rappers tackle the AfricanAmerican frustration that stems from,
and s t i l l lingers after, the assassination
of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
As an ardent Nappy Roots fan, I
was caught off guard by the normally
fun-loving. Grand Marnier-swilling
hip-hoppers’ newfound interest in
serious subjects. I have to say it’s an
intriguing and refreshing change,
although I’m still a bit startled by the
new style.
Don’t get m t wrong, not every song
on this album expresses an intellectual
concept. This is proven by the remix of
“’Round the Globe,” unfortunately
featuring the Ying-Yang Twins. Those
unaware of the Twins’ art should
consider themselves lucky. The Twins
are perhaps the worst rappers to grace
the pages of The R<fIcctor since “No
Good” and “Namni Brigade.” These
clowns make “3-6 Mafia” look like
lyrical warlocks. and that’s no
compliment.
The only thing good about the
remix (which for some reason is called
“Collipark Remix”) is that its
background beats make my rearview
mirror rattle precariously, as if ready to
fall off of my windshield. This loud
and bass-heavy rap should remain in
the clubs, where it came from, and far
away from good albums such as
“Wooden Leather.”
Following “Push On” is one of my
favorite songs on the albuiii. ” N o
Good.” In this song. Nappy Roots rap
over some bizarre instrumcntal
background that sounds lihc sitar
music and could serve a s a backgrouiid
for a Middle Eastern scirnilar d u d .
Nappy Roots are ;t good
combination of rappe
Leather,” the best niu
’ obviously outshit-ies h i s
~ n dproves himscli’ worthy of‘ a
successful solo career in the future.
The rapper produces some instantly
classic lines such as “In my old
Kentucky home I wax borii and raised]
on catfish an’ corn. collard greens and
fat-back/ he’s countrier ‘11a mug/
don’t care where he stays/ you got
country in your blood if yoti love, and
that’s that” (“Round the Globe”).
In “Roll Again,” the prolil‘ic
wordsmith spits a string ot mindboggling poetry that blows away .jus1
about every other hip-hop verse
written thus far this yzar.
There are, however, wine problem\
with this album.Onc i j the
overabundance of r/h. Another i s the
amount of attention the allwin givcs t o
my least favorite “Nappy Root.” “Big
V.” Lastly, I would Iiave liked moi-c
“R. Prophet,” one of the best rappcrh i n
the group.
Overall. this album, although morc
mellow and at times more irritating
than the group‘s first album. contains
some of the best rap I’ve heard in :I
while. I would recommentl it to anyonc
who iikes good old country-fried
Kentucky hip-hop.

‘Hounds play aggressive, start season 2-0
The University o I‘ I nd i anapo I i s
football team started the season in
traditional Cashion on Sept. 6.
In a contest against the St. Joseph’s
Pumas, the team found themselves in
a position they were used to: winning
the first game of the season. Head
football coach Joe Polizzi got what he
asked for-a strong season start by his
experienced team.
Entering the game. the ‘Hotinds
had won seven straight season
openers. They extended that streak to
eight after the offcnsivc blowout they
created by beating the Puma’s 44-7.
“We wanted points on our first four
drives.” Polizzi said. After a first
quarter of play was i n the books, the
‘Hounds found themselves up 30-0.
“We played like a veteran team, not
like a team playing in their first game
of the season,” Polizzi said.
During thc second quarter of play,
the ‘Hounds did not score a point, the
only blunder i n an otherwise perfect
day in the end zone. In the second
quarter, freshman David Barker scored
St. Joe’s lone touchdown, a sevenyard run.
The ‘Hounds finished the second
half with a touchdown in each quarter.
“We did get lazy a little,” said senior
wide receiver Rob Mager. “I’m
definitely pleased with how we
played. We .just can’t get
overconfident.” Mager had an
exciting day against the Puma’s
making four receptions for a careerhigh I6 I yards and a touchdown.
Seniors Cesare Manning, Travis
Zike and Mager helped junior
quarterback Matt Kohn lead the
offensive charge. Coach Polizzi was
pleased with all three senior receivers’
effort. “They all can read coverage
and make things happen. They were
all prepared,” he said.
“Once people see the big numbers,
they expect that.” Mager said. “ I f ’ it‘s
not me. thcii i t s Chef (Manning) o r
Zike.“
Manning had eight grabs. for ;I
career-high I6X yards i i i i c l two
touchdowns at St. Joc‘s. That niovcd
Manning to the fil‘th spot on the U 01’ I
all-time receiving yards list.
Polizzi said having the three
experienced seniors on offense helps
Kohn make things happen on thc
field. Kohn completed 20 of 26 pas\es
for a carcer-high 39 I yards and three
touchdowns at SI. Joe’s. That broke
his previous record of 339 yardh
against Mercyhurst last seiison.
“I think we can build off of this
game. I can fix my mistakes. This is ii
good thing we can build 011‘ of,“ Kohn
said. “We still have ;I long way to go.“
The strong showing against SI. Joe‘s
moved Kohn to the seventh spot on
the ti of 1 career touchciown passes
list with 26.
Coach Polizzi believes this season
will be a good test for Kohn.
”He’s the type of young man who‘s
never satisfied with his perform;ince.
He keeps improving d a y by day and
has a great work ethic.’’ hc said. “That
work ethic will open the door f o r
more improvement.”
The ‘Hounds faced their first
opponent in the Great Lakes
Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
(GLIAC) on Sept. 13, ;is they took on
the ‘Hillsdale Chargers in the first
home game of the season.
“Our number one goal is to vvin all
of our home games.” Poli7t.i said.
“We are excited to he in front o f o u r
home crowd.“
The Greyhound football te:iin beat
Hillsdale by a score 01‘ 3 1 - IO. ‘I’hc
‘Hounds knew the game against
Hillsdale would be conipetitive.

“Hillsdale is our big rival. We

Kohn had a productive game
:igitinst the conference rival, he
a;wuiited for 447 yarcis and four
louchdo?vns.
But, the win against Hillsdale was
not a one-man show. All three senior
receivers also had ii strong showing
against the conference rival.
Manning added to the offensive
charge as he caught a career-high I I
passes f o r 147 yards and a touchdown.
His performancc moved him into third
place on the LJ of I all-time receiving
yards list with 1.943.

Mager added three catches for 52
yards. Mager has scored two
touchdowns this season. Sophmore
running back Rob Robinson also had a
carcer-high rushing game a s he rushed
for 59 yards.
Defense a l s o played ;I crucial role i n

had eight tackles and ii quarterback

that he took for ;I 17-yard return.
Soplimore linebacker Bruce Renner
hud 1 1 tachles to lead all players, and a

The ‘Hounds are very determined to
meet their goals this season. “We
want to win our conference,” Mageisaid. “This is a great opportunity f o r
us.”

MEN’S SOCCER
Coach hopes experience will
lead to successful season
The ‘Hounds men’s soccer coach
Bob KouriI will enter his sixth season
with an experienced group of players.
Only three players graduated last
season, and most of Kouril’s players
have been playing for two or three
years together. “As a unit, we are
really close and tight-knit.” Kouril
said.
Junior captain Dusty Shannon
realizes the advantages of being an
experienced and close-knit team.
“Playing for a year together already is
definitely a plus, and we have been
able to gel more as a team. We know
what everyone else wants to do during
games, and it’s easy to anticipate
that.”
The new crop of I2 freshmen
already has begun to fit in comfortably
with the ‘Hounds and are “still
learning our system o f play” Kouril
said.
“Because we are such a close
group. from freshman to everyone
else, it’s easier to play together,”
Shannon said.
The closeness and familiarity the
‘Hounds have with each other not only
improves their playing skills, but also
the team’s communication skills. “We
are able to get on each other and push
each other on the field and no one
takes i t personally. We leave that on
the field and once we get off the field,
we are still able to hang O L I I together”
said sophomore captain Jimmy Rust.
The ‘Hounds will need team
chemistry to be succcssl‘iil i n their
conference this season. “We want to
work hard and put forth :I good cfforl
every day because of the toiigli t c m s
we face every game,” said soplioiiiorc
forward Eric Nance.
The ‘Hounds have an I X-ganie

in America,” Kouril said.
“We have strengthened some o f the
positions that we were shakier at last
year, with the addition 01‘ some of the
new guys,” Shannon said. Some of the
“new guys” are international students
Murray Campbell, from Scotlaid, and
Miguel de Dicgo, from Spain, who w i l l
join veteran junior Brian Johnson on
the offensive attach for U of I. Denys
Pervov, from the [Jkraine, will join
junior Matt Williams and sophornore
Jason Brown as the goal keepers this
season.
The defense and midfield areas for
the ‘Hounds are filled with retiirning
and experienced pla),crs. Leading the
defense for U of I is Rust. Coach
Koiiril u ill rely on captain Rust to be a

WOMEN’S TENNIS
Women’s tennis working hard to repeat as conference champions
-
Craig Haupert
S/of M‘rircr
The women’s tennis team is
working hard for ii repeat of last
season’s conference win. The
Greyhounds finished last year with a
perfect 9-0 record in the Great Lakes
Valley Conference. but only on their
fourth match of this season, they lost
4-5 to Lcwi\ University. a conference
rival .
Other than the one IOSY,the
Greyhounds have won every other
game. On Scpt. 2 they beat
Bellarmine 9-0. The ‘Hounds then
went on to overpower St. Joe’s 9-0,
three days later.
The next day Lewis stole the
momentum from the ‘Hounds. The
number one doubles team of seniors
Grace Wilhoite and Gayal Jones lost a
close match 6-8. The number two
doubles team of senior Simmi Rani and
junior Jessica Broadus won 8-5. The
singles matches were split down the
middle at 3-3, with wins from Ranni,
Broadus and Jeanette Gartner. Broadus
showed her toughness by coming back
to win her singles match after being
down 5-1.
After the tough loss to Lewis in the
morning, the ‘Hounds squared off
against Olivet Nazarene later that day
and won a close match 5-4. The
number one doubles team of Wilhoite
and Jones won X-2. Wilhoite also won
her singles match 6- I , 6- 1. Rani and
Broadus, won their match 8-5. Ranni
at number three singles shocked her
opponent by coming back to win the
match 0-6,6-3, 6-2 after dropping the
first set 0-6 and being down 0-3 in the
second. Jeanette Gartner was
aggressive against her opponent, not
losing a single game in the match.
Broadus at number four singles was
winning her match at 1-0 then had to
retire due to injury.
Although the ‘Hounds can’t repeat
their perfect record from last sea&,
they can repeat as conference
champions. Repeating as the GLVC
champions is a goal of the team’s
coach, John Venter. “We are the
defending conference champions, and
everyone will be gunning for us.”
Venter said. “I believe we are a better
team this year, and we should be able
to defend,” hc said.
The team only lost one player from
the roster last year, Amy Geisler.
Replacing her in the line-up is a
talented young freshman, Amy
Ahluni from Hilliard. Ohio. The four
ret urn i ng sen i ors shou 1d also he1p
lead the team’s efforts toward a
con fercnce v i ct or y .
Wilhoite’s goals for this year
include a team conference win and a
trip to the Division I I nationals at the
end of the season. She is the number
one singles and number one doubles

The ‘Hounds weren’t too sure of
how things would turn out a t their
opening season tournament over
Labor Day weekend in Boca Raton,
Florida.
According to Shawn McAllister, a
third year returning outside hitter, the
girls were “going against top D-2
teams.” However, the team came
back home on Labor Day with an
opening season record of 4- I .
Besides starting off the season with
a winning record, the trip south
allowed the team to “really get close
over the weekend,” said head coach
Jody Butera. McAllister said she
agreed one hundred percent: “We
officially became a team at the
tournament,” she said.
Coach Butera was pleased not only
with the overall results, but with
individual players as well. The
tournament allowed some of the
team’s new recruits to show what they
were really made of. “Some of them
shocked me in the games,” Butera
said. “They were very different from
practice. They stepped up to the
occasion,” she said.
The ‘Hounds next focus is on two
weekend tournaments at Findlay and
Northern Kentucky. Coach Butera
considered the weekend tournaments
“crucial for regional ranking.”
“We’re playing the teams that are
regionally ranked,” said third year
returning setter Deanna McClure. “So
if we beat them, then we become
regionally ranked,” she said.
At the Findlay Classic, the
Greyhounds defeated Northwood and
Lake Superior State and fell to
Hillsdale and host Findlay. The team’s
exciting start added to the high
expectations of the new recruits. The
newcomers to the team have s o far
been “pretty solid recruits,” said
second year returning outside hitter
Whitney Boling.
“We brought in two middles,”
McAllister said. “They are filling the
shoes well of the two middle hitters
we lost last year. We have two
defensive specialists that are doing
really well, too [both freshmen].”
Altogether. four frcshmen and two
transfer standouts joined the ‘Hounds
this season. Coach Butera spoke quite
highly of them. adding that they are
“doing a great job as of today,” she
said.
The team had their home opener
Wednesday night against St. Francis.
The ‘Hounds lost game one, 30-28,
but came back to win the next three,
30-26, 30-12, 30-20. McAllister led
the ‘Hounds with 14 kills. Boling also
added 14 kills and nine digs.
Sophomore opposite hitter Emily
Huey had 12 kills and two service
aces.
As far as overall goals for the
coming season. Coach Butera keeps
those pretty simple. “We want to go to
the NCAA finals. 1 don’t care what
we do to do it, as long as we do it,”
she said. Other than that, she doesn’t
want to set the goals too high; “they
do that themselves,” Butera said. The
team just wants to build up from last
year.
Among the things the team is
working are blocking “consistently on
the right side and (running) a smooth
and fast offense,” Boling said.
The team has been at it since Aug.
I I , according to Butera, when they
started out with three-a-day practices
for the first weck, then two-a-day
practices for the next week, and finally
one-a-day practices once classes
started on Aug. 25. The coach added
that this season the girls came in with
better attitudes and in great shape,
which made canceling a few practices
possible- a rare occurance, according
to Butera. She also said that “it’s nice
to coach people who care about each
other.” The girls have responded well
to one another and are striving the
NCAA tournament bid.
“Our own expectations, as well as
our opponents’ expectations, are very
high,” Deanna McClure said. “We
finally have brought it all together this
year as a team,” she said.
Junior Katie Beck (#IO) moves in on the ball, as
Sophomore Whitney Boling (#I 1) waits and anticipates
