R BENEFIT CONCERT
Over $1000 raised for tornado victims in concert
Beth Hunt
Siclf]’ Writer
“Wind of the Spirit: An Evening of
Song and Praise.” a benefit concert for
the victims of the Sept. 20 tornadoes,
was held Friday evening Nov. I in the
Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center.
“The idea [of holding a benefit
concert] came up a year ago, after Sept.
11,” said Beth Kiggins, director of the
Center for Instructional Technologies.
“I was working with the United Way
Committee and wanted to find a way to
help the children of the victims of Sept.
11.”
The idea never materialized, but a
local disaster offered another opportunity
for such a concert to take place. After a
series of tornadoes ripped through central
Indiana on Sept. 20, Kiggins worked
with Marylynne Winslow, assistant
director of admissions, to organize this
event.
A committee was put together to
okcrsee the project, includiiig Rev.
1,ang Brownlee, university chaplain:
Ken Sheetz, executike director of
capital gifts; junior Fenrick Jatnes:
M a r k Fisher, senior pastor at
Southport United Methodist Church:
and Kiggins and Winslow.
This group planned the event to
raise awareness of the damage t’roni
the tornadoes and assist those in need.
The concert was free of charge.
although a cash or canned goods
donation was accepted.
“All the money that was raised has
been turned over to Mark Fisher, who
is chairing the LJnmct Nccds
Conunittee, which wiis created by
FEMA [Federal Emergency
Management Agency 1,‘’ Kiggins said.
All of the donations went directly t o
the Perry Township/ Beech Grovc
Torn ado Disaster IIt i me t Ne c ds
Committee.
This locally-based committee will
disperse the money to those who need
it most. The recently formed
cornrnittee plans to be operational for
12-18 months to assist thow in need.
All c m ~ goods
d
that were donated were
turned over to Gleaners Food Bank.
Pcrformirig at the concert were vocalist
Cherie Adams, formerly of the Christian
group Avalon; Stephen Nawrocki, associate
professor of biology and anthropology; U
of I graduate Molly Hill; and The Boanerges,
a contemporary Christian band from
Southport United Methodist Church.
Nawrocki and Hill have been performing
together for over three years. Nawrocki is
also the former director of the Celebration
Praise Band at University Heights United
Methodist Church. The Boanerges have been
performing together for over five years.
“Cherie, Molly Hill andSteveNawrocki,
and the Boanergers were awesome, treating
the audience to an incredible evening of
Christian music,” Kiggins said. “It was
rewarding to do what we could to assist the
tornado victims.”
Approximately 150-200 people attended
thc concert, raising $1012 for the victims of
the tornadoes. Much of the money raised
will be used to assist apartment dwellers
who lost everything in the tornadoes and
did not have renter‘s insurance to replace
what they lost.

Credit cards can be an important
part of the life of a college student. In
April of 2002, a study by Nellie Mae,
a national provider of higher education
loans for students and parents, found
that while only 54 percent of college
freshmen carried a credit card in 2001,
92 percent of sophomores carried at
least one. The study also found that
ftom the time students arrive at college
until they leave, mostdouble theircredit
card debt and triple the number of
crcdit cards in their wallet. The average
credit card debt for college students in
2001 was $2,327.
To help inform U of I students this
pot c n t i a I1 y danger o u s is s u e, the
university’s Office of Financial Aid,
Fifth Third Bank and Bank One are
trlaming up for a budgeting and credit
cnrds seminar directed at college
students. The one-hour seminar will
be held at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 14,
it) thc Ober Side Dining Hall.
Sandy Osborne, the Office of
Financial Aid‘s assistant director of
loan and work programs, and
rcpresentatives from Fifth Third and
Bank One have collected materials for
the seminar from USA Funds’ Life
Skills educational resource books,
which have been used in many New
Student Experience classes on campus.
U S A Funds is a non-profit
organization that guarantees education
loans nationally. For this seminar, the
tcam chose to focus on chapters that
deal with budgeting and credit cards.
The seminar will begin with
information on budgeting. “We feel if
students can budget better, they’re not
going to borrow as much and not use
credit cards as much,” Osborne said.
She encourages students with credit
cards, and those thinking about getting
one, to come to the seminar to learn
more about them.
There are many advantages and
disadvantages to having a credit card
and many dos and don’ts for using one.
Many of these will be discussed at the
seminar along with credit report
information and the impact of credit
cards on students’ futures.
Students at U of I hold different
views on credit cards. Some feel they
do not know enough about credit card\
to use them wisely. “I don’t want t o be
in debt,” said Becky Kennedy, a 21-
year-old senior. Others see credit cards
as an essential part of developing good
credit for after graduation, so they can
buy a car o r get an apartment on their
own.
Students who are unable to attend
the seminar can visit the section on

H LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Professor discusses possibility, costs of war with Iraq
Last spring, President Bush began
making statements about Iraq, the
threats it poses and the possibility that
the U.S. might wage war against the
Iraqi government to address those
threats. Since that time, there have
been rounds of debate in the U.S.
Congress, occasional flurries of media
commentary and more statements
from the Bush administration.
But for many Americans, questions
remain: Will the U.S. go to war
against Iraq? Under what conditions
and for what reasons’? Will there be
many casualties (American or Iraqi)?
What will be the likely outcome of
such a war? Are the benefits worth the
costs?
I believe that war with Iraq is likely
in the coming months and that it will
be costly, difficult and involve a
lengthy commitment. Whether the
benefits of the war will be worth those
costs will ultimately be decided by
future generations; my hunch is that
the answer will be no.
War with Iraq is the most likely
outcome given the current interests of
the United States and Iraq. Saddam
Hussein’s government clearly desires
its own survival first, but secondarily
would also like to hang on to its
capability to develop weapons of mass
destruction. The Bush administration
has been cagey about its interests; in
some statements, the goal is merely
Iraqi disarmament, while in others, the
ultimate goal is a change in regime.
Given this constellation of
interests, and given a limited number
of real choices (Iraq can either choose
to give up its weapons or try to cheat
and hide them; the U.S. can either
attack Iraq or not), war is the most
likely outcome.
Since Hussein does not know what
Bush’s real motive is, he cannot trust
that the U.S. won’t attack him even if
he does give up his weapons. If Bush’s
ultimate motive is to remove Hussein
from power, he will attack sooner or
later regardless of whether Iraq
disarms.
Even if the U.S. wants only to
disarm Iraq, Hussein’s incentive to
cooperate is very low if he thinks an
American attack is imminent. If he
cheats, the U.S. will attack but he will
still have whatever weapons he now
possesses to defend himself. If he
cooperates, the U.S. may attack him
after disarming him anyway. Given
these choices, Iraq’s rational choice is
not to cooperate, which ensures an
American attack. The only way to
avoid this outcome would be for the
U.S. to convince Iraq that an attack
will NOT take place if it cooperates.
Given the administration’s current
emphasis on the other point - that an
attack will occur if he does not
cooperate -this seems unlikely at best.
If (when) this war comes, it will
almost certainly be long and costly.
This is not necessarily true of the
initial combat phase itself. Military
planners are debating the likely losses
to U.S. forces of an urban campaign to
take Baghdad; most estimates are that
we will certainly lose more men than
we did in Desert Storm, but that we
will prevail over a period of weeks.
Direct combat losses to Americans,
therefore, are likely to be acceptable unless Iraq successfully employs a
chemical or biological weapon against
U.S. forces. The real costs will come
instead in different areas. First, there
will be a tremendous toll in Iraqi
civilian lives and economic assets.
While I do not doubt that our armed
forces will do their utmost to avoid
unnecessary damage, substantial losses
are inevitable given the realities of
urban warfare. Slaughtering Iraqi
civilians and devastating the Iraqi
economy will certainly cost the U.S.
internationally in prestige and
influence, and will generate substantial
resentment, especially in the Arab and
Islamic worlds.
Second, once Iraq is conquered, it
will be incumbent on the U.S. to
occupy the country, and in so doing to
run it. Our forces and government
officials will be in charge of
everything in Iraq from basic law and
order to trash removal, until a stable
replacement government can be set up
- a process which is likely to take a
very long time. In the meantime, U.S.
forces - in substantial numbers - will
be required to occupy the country, at a
large cost in dollars, military readiness,
and military morale.
Moreover, those same forces and
officials will become targets, both for
those in the region who are already
inclined to attack U.S. interests and to
Iraqis (and others) who will blame the
U.S. for their condition. While many
have been asking whether Iraq will
become another Vietnam, we might be
better off asking whether it will
become another Afghanistan meaning the Soviet Union’s war in
Afghanistan, which dragged on for
nine years and which drew anti-Soviet
Islamic fighters from all over the
world to combat the occupying power.
Ultimately, I suspect that public
opinion will turn against President
Bush - or any succeeding President
who inherits the result of an Iraqi
invasion. Right now, both the costs
and benefits of an invasion are largely
imaginary, though we emphasize the
benefits because of an unarticulated
sense of insecurity following 9/11/01.
As the psychological impact of that
event fades, and the real costs of the
war and occupation mount, we are
likely to rethink our already tepid
enthusiasm for an attack on Iraq.
But by then, of course, it will be too
late.

Student remarks on Republican
election day dominance
~
/
by Lucas Klipsch
Opinion Editor
Following last Tuesday’s election,
things could not look worse for the
Democratic Party. George W. Bush
and his regime fought hard all year
long, yielding positive results on
election day.
One such result came in the Georgia
Senate race, as Republican Saxby
Chambliss shocked Democratic
incumbent Max Cleland. Chambliss
ended up beating Cleland 53% to 46%
in what was supposed to be a landslide
the other way. For the rest of the night,
the Republicans dominated the Senate
race, winning solidly in New
Hampshire and Colorado.
In one of the more dramatic
Republican Senate victories, Jean
Carnahan, wife of Democratic
incumbent Me1 Carnahan, who was
killed in a plane crash in 2000, lost by
23,586 votes, or 1%, to Jim Talent.
Even on the gubanatorial front, the
Republicans were impressive. Jeb
Bush, seemingly unpopular after
several debacles following his
suspicious behavior in the 2000
presidential race, was soundly
reelected, receiving 58% of Floridia’s
vote. Not only Jeb, but former
Republican Florida Secretary of State
Katherine Harris won in her race for
Congress. Those Florida voters just
seem to love the Grand Old Party this
year. I guess all those votes really were
for Pat Buchanan in 2000 ...y eah right, I
won’t go that far.
Not only did Republicans win
impressively, the Democrats lost
impressively. Dick Gephardt, who six
months ago was sitting pretty as
majority leader, stepped down, leaving
a gaping hole in the party structure.
Senate leader Tom Daschle lost a lot
on Tuesday.
The Republicans have called him an
“obstructionist,” even though he voted
to pass Bush’s tax cuts and voted for
his war resolution. This left Daschle a
loser on both fields, and left the

Democratic Party with less control in
the Senate.
What it all boils down to is this: the
Republicans have fooled the American
people into voting them into office all
across the board. There’s nothing
really better about the party’s platform,
it just so happens that George and the
gang are riding high on a wave of
popularity initially spawned from his
“shoot from the hip” stance on
terrorism. I think the consensus among
Americans is that Democrats would
not properly handle “wars” on
terrorism, and liberal defense policies
could not handle an “axis of evil.”
Let’s face it, the President has made
some huge errors. He consistently
discredits himself as a good leader
with stuttered speeches and ridiculous
Teddy Rooseveldtesque pro-war
jargon. For the longest time I have
thought that people would eventually
see him and his party for what they
are-morons. But, it never happened.
Instead, the Democratic party has
been utterly smashed in both the House
and the Senate, not to mention several
astonishing trouncings on the
gubanatorial level.
The Democrats had it coming. For
the past two decades, both legislative
and executive branches of the
government have been largely
represented by moderate candidates
from both of the major parties. What
has irked me the most, of course, has
been the large number of conservative
Democrats. I mean Clinton was bad,
but at least his platform sounded
liberal. Gore and Bush had
disgustingly similar platforms in 2000,
and Daschle sounded more like a
Republican minority leader his last
term.
There’s no changing the times.
The country is experiencing a phase
of political conservatism, and the
Democratic party just jumped on the
bandwagon, alienating its supporters
and losing elections.
Sooner or later, voters will realize
that complete Republican control is a
very frightening prospect. Hopefully,
there will still be time for change when
this occurs to them.

W INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Packet shaper helps U of I students access campus network
Julie Anderson
News Editor
When University of Indianapolis
students use the Internet, they expect to
access the information they want quickly.
But that is not always the case. Often the
connection is slow, especially when they
want to access a site run by the university.
By the end of last semester, this
problem was becoming more and more
common for commuter and resident
students, as well as faculty and staff. To
help fix the problem, an additional T I
line was installed. Within minutes after
installation, another bottleneck
developed.
The problem with installing additional
T1 lines exists in the type of programs
that computer users are using. A T I line
is like an additional ‘pipe’ through which
to channel the campus network. When a
program that streams information is open,
it ‘gobbles up’ as much bandwidth (or
space in the pipe) as it needs to function
at the highest possible speed. The
program does not limit itself to a certain
percent of bandwidth unless the user
physically goes into the program to
change its settings. But few users do so;
some may not know how, and others just
may not realize the problem they are
causing.
Jeff Russell, chief information officer
at U of I, has plenty of experience with
this situation. At another institution where
he worked, the amount of bandwidth
used by programs jumped to five times
the previous amount within 15 minutes
of installing an additional T1 line.
A better solution was sought to fix the
problem at U of I. A packet shaping
device was installed just before classes
began this semester. The current settings
are a result of incorporating feedback
from the university community after the
installation.
The relationship between the Internet
and the university’s campus network is
like a bridge, according to Russell. A
packet shaping device works as a type of
gatekeeper across that bridge. The packet
shaper prioritizes in what order and in
what quantity information may ‘cross’
the bridge.
For example, certain types of
multimedia traffic such as audio files,
video files or streaming audio or video
are assigned a high or low priority based
on importance. Web traffic, the http files
that students access, are another type of
traffic. Http traffic is given the highest
priority, as it is the most frequently
accessed material on the network.
“In our case, we want to make the
highest availability for the typical Web
page traffic, so that people getting to our
Web pages can do that reliably,” Russell
said. “It also means that the traffic for
things like Blackboard and course
materials [and] library resources are all
that type of traffic [high priority].’’
The packet shaper was installed for
several reasons. Certain programs were
bogging down the campus network,
which was affecting the connection speed
for those accessing the network on and
off campus. A bottleneck developed.
“Nobody got out, nobody got in,” Russell
said. “Basically from 8:OO in the morning
until around 11 or midnight, sometimes
until 3:OO in the morning, it was
saturated.”
This led to many problems for network
users. For instance, when users want to
access Palni (the library’s online card
catalog system), they are “literally
leaving campus to look that up,” Russell
said. This creates a problem. Also, when
someone accesses Blackboard using their
ISP (Internet service provider) or a cable
modem, “they’re not dialing into our
campus ...they can’t get t o those
resources reliably,” he said.
As a result, they are timed out of their
browser. The page takes so long to load
that the browser ‘gives up.’
“What we’ve done with our packet
shaper is to provide the highest priority
to the http pages (Web pages) and the
lower priority to the streaming video,
audio kinds of traffic. And that impacts
everybody-students, faculty and staff
alike,” Russell said.
Another aspect of this packet shaper
is that it can only tell what type of file is
being accessed. It cannot tell if an audio
file is copyrighted music or a file in the
public domain, for instance.
If Web traffic decreases, more
bandwidth becomes available for other
traffic, which then fills in available
bandwidth. “It’s a sliding scale,” Russell
said. However, there are minimum limits
for the Web page traffic.
Monitoring reveals patterns in the type
of traffic. Russell can tell peak hours for
Web page traffic and the time of day
when the most audio or video files are
downloaded. Thus, Russell can determine
how much bandwidth to designate to
certain types of traffic at specific times.
“One person can completely trash the
place,” Russell said. “They can grab all
the bandwidth, depending on what they’re
running. We still monitor traffic hogs.”
Faculty and staff are monitored along
with students, and both are disciplined
when they abuse the system. “We
[computing services] treat infractions of
the faculty and staffjust like they [student
affairs] do with the students,” he said.
The packet shaper does not monitor
traffic within the network. Users who
share files with one another through their
residence hall connection are not counted
in the overall Web traffic. Users who
surf the Internet through their own ISP
also are not affected until they decide to
log onto the campus network from their
home computer.
This traffic problem is not unique to
U of I. “Probably close to 75 to 80
percent of campuses across the country
use some form of packet shaper,” Russell
said.
At any given time, there are
approximately 2000 potential users on
the campus network. The packet shaper
simply helps to facilitate the processing
of information across cyberspace,
Russell said.
4 EDUCATION FOR SERVICE
Cam
Students practice university motto
Erin Clossin
Staff Writer
Every year, U of I students volunteer
in a wide variety of community service
projects. “Education for Service” is the
motto that represents the learning
experience U of I students receive from
participating in community service
programs.
“Many
volunteers
remain
anonymous, therefore we aren’t able to
collect the total number of volunteers
who attend U of I,” said Toni Peabody,
professor of social work and field
coordinator. Peabody is a member of the
community program advisory committee
which oversees volunteer opportunities
in the community and on campus.
Peabody feels “thenumber of students
who participate in community service
activities has increased; there are more
opportunities, and information is easily
accessible.”
Students can find information about
volunteering on discussion boards at
www.uindy.edu, information boards
around campus, or the Community
Programs Center located in Good Hall,
Room 204A. The Community Programs
Center provides information on service
learning placement and volunteer
opportunities. The center keeps files on
over 100 different areas where students,
faculty and staff can engage in service
and volunteer opportunities.
Students may alsoobtain acommunity
service learning minor in “Civic
Engagement
and
Community
Leadership.” These courses require
students to go out into the community
and volunteer. “The service learning
courses are based on cognitive learning,”
Peabody said.
Another way to become involved in
community service is by joining one of
the over 40 student organizations at U of
I. Co-Curricular programs require the
student organizations to organize at least
one community service project a year.
Two organizations that are currently
involved in helping the community are
the Social Work Association and
Sertoma. They are collecting gently used
shoes and new underwear until Nov. 12
for Homeless Awareness.
There are also many ongoing
community projects students and faculty
actively participate in. For five years
every Wednesday night, between 15 and
20 student volunteers have participated
at the Laurelwood community, which is
located less then two miles from campus.
Students work on activities and projects
and share values with children ages 6- 16
who live in a single-parent home or whose
relatives never attended college. On Oct.
3 1, the Laurelwood children trick-ortreated through the residence halls and U
of I students passed out goodies as part of
a safe night Halloween.
“The involvement of the volunteers is
part of the fabric of who they are,”
Peabody said.
Other programs that U of 1 students,
faculty and staff actively participate in
are College Mentors for Kids! and the
Wheeler Arts Community.
On Dec. 10, students involved in
community service will host the first
service learning expo at U of I. The expo
will help inform students interested in
volunteering about issues that volunteers
have addressed and lessons they have
learned, said Peabody. “Education for
Service” gives students valuable
opportunities for service i n the
community.

PROFILE
New education dean enjoys
smaller campus at U of I

New associate dean of education Kathryn Moran has been working in
higher education for 25 years. Originally from Ohio, Moran was an
associate chair in elementary education at Buffalo State College, New
York. She moved to Indianapolis earlier this year.
CENTENNIAL
The University of Indianapolis has a
new faculty member in the School of
Education. Kathryn Moran is the new
associate dean of education, an
opportunity that she is very excited
about.
As associate dean, Moran handles
the daily operational issues of the
department, helps to plan budgets and
sets curriculum. She also is working
with the rest of the department to get
ready for next fall’s accreditation
process.
A native of Toledo, Ohio, Moran
attended school at the State University
of New York at Buffalo. She holds a
master’s degree in education
administration and a ph.D. in
education psychology. She has been
involved with higher education for 25
years.
Before arriving at U of I, Moran
worked at Buffalo State College as an
associate chair in elementary
education.
She also spent time as the interim
dean for undergraduate studies. She
was involved with academic support
and policy and curriculum
development. Moran also worked in
such fields as teaching effectiveness
and academic involvement. In
addition, she worked in educational
psychology courses and helped with
computerized advertisement systems,
student retention and enrollment
management.
Moran came to Indianapolis after
her husband took a job here. She liked
the city and began looking for a job - a
hunt that led her to U of I. She has
been here for just over three months
and is still learning her way around.
Moran said she is pleased with the
time she has been given to adjust to
her new settings and that the new
faculty orientation was very helpful.
Although she is still getting used to
campus, Moran likes what she sees. “I
am very impressed with the energy
level and commitment of the faculty,”
she said. She likes the campus scenery,
the student body, and the feel of a
smaller school, as opposed to Buffalo
State College, where there were 1600
students in the elementary education
program alone.
In addition to her love for
education, Moran is an avid piano
player and looks forward to trying new
things.
“I’m trying to learn how to golf,”
she said. “And I’m also looking for
places to go horseback riding.” Moran
also is excited about becoming a
grandmother for the first time, as her
stepdaughter is expecting achild in
January.
Moran is happy with her move and
is especially glad to come back to her
Midwestern roots. There are some
things that she misses about Buffalo she admits she’s a Bills fan -but does
not think she will m i s s the snow.
“We sold our snow blower,” she
said.
WWII G.1.s a boost for enrollment
Lucas Klipsch
Opinion Editor
World War I1 affected nearly
everyone in the United States,
including the students, faculty and
staff of the University of Indianapolis,
then called Indiana Central.
Professor Emeritus of History and
university historian Dr. Fred Hill
actually served in World War 11.
“I went to Miami [of Ohio]
University in the fall of 1942, and
about two weeks later, the draft board
got on me, so I enlisted,” he said.
According to Hill, World War I1 put
a huge damper on U of I enrollment.
The university set an enrollment
record of 5 17 students in 1935, “then a
recession set in and it went into
decline,” he said. “The institution was
again in dire financial straights.”
Hill recalls that the G.I. Bill passed
by Congress was used to help veterans
return to school after serving in the
War.
“They came back in good
numbers,” Hill said. When the (3.1. Bill
was first passed, it provided veterans
with full tuition, books and $75 a
month for living expenses, which later
increased to $90 a month.
This bill did help enrollment for a
few years, but it eventually declined
again.
“They came back, but of course you
ran out of veterans after about three or
four years, so enrollment didn’t push
up again for some time,’’ Hill said.
“Actually that record of 517 was in
1935, and it was 1955 before they [the
numbers] got back up there.”
Not only the enrollment of men was
affected by World War 11, but also the
enrollment of women.
“They [womenJ went and got jobs
at factories, too. Now I can’t name any
of ours specifically that went to work
at a factory here in Indianapolis.. .but
their enrollment was down drastically,
too,” Hill said.
Though not as directly affected by
the war as the student body, the faculty
experienced some changes as well.
“Even some of our faculty left and
took jobs. Not a large number, but
some,” Hill said.
Some members of the community
joined the YMCA staff during the war.
The YMCA not only provided
recreation for soldiers stationed in the
United States, but helped soldiers’
friends and families keep in touch with
them.
“The YMCA was somebody you
could contact if you had a son down
there in Louisiana some place and
there was some kind of problem where
you couldn’t make any contact with
him, or he wouldn’t write to you. You
could check in at the YMCA, and
they’d get in touch with him,” Hill
said.
Some soldiers were actually
stationed on campus at U of I, living in
the residence halls and taking classes.
“This was a widespread thing.
Suddenly the armed forces neelded lots
of men trained to do certain things, and
there wasn’t enough of them [trained
men] out there. And colleges had
empty dormitories,” Hill said.
There were a number of reasons
soldiers came to Indianapolis. “The
first group from the Navy was sent
here to Indianapolis to study the
Allison Engine out at the Allison
factory. Only it was so sudden that
Allison wasn’t ready. They couldn’t
house them. They couldn’t provide the
instruction. They didn’t have any
classrooms. They didn’t have any
place to do it. So, they’d put the people
here in the dormitories.
“They were only here for two or
three weeks, then they’d move on out.
We had an Allison Engine on the
Stage.. .over in Good Hall. They’d
keep the curtain closed during chapel,
and that’s where some of the
instruction was,” Hill said.
Not all of the instruction was
specialized. One group from the Air
Force took several regular courses
offered at the university.
“I’ve got a long list of subjects that
they were instructed in: geography and
physics and umpteen things,” Hill said.
Some troops were interested in
recreation.
“There was one major who insisted
on having dances in the gymnasium,
and the board of trustees said ‘no
you’re not’,’’ Hill said.
Since the armed services personnel
were so numerous, U of I was forced
to increase its staff. This created
problems when the troops left.
“When they pulled the troops out
rather suddenly, we already had that
faculty under contract for the next
year. We were anticipating a little over
150 civilian students, and maybe 400
airmen. And suddenly, the 400 airmen
were gone.“
However, I. J. Good, president of U
of I during this period, had a plan for
the excess staff.
“The president got on the phone and
called his friends at other campuses
and was able to find jobs for a lot of
them,” Hill said.
Rebuilding the enrollment after
World War I1 was an important issue.
“They [the administration] did a
very good job rebuilding,” Hill said.
Hill’s book, entitled “Downright
Devotion to the Cause: A History of
the University of Indianapolis and Its
Legacy of Service” is available at the
Krannert Memorial Library. It can also
be purchased in the bookstore.

W CD REVIEW
‘Rascal Flatts’ impress camms fan
=
Cara Silletto
Stuff Writer
If your love life isn’t beautiful or
you can’t handle hearing how
wonderful everyone else’s is, this may
not be the CD to buy right now. The
inspirations the Rascal Flatts and their
writers had when writing the songs for
their new album “Melt” should be
spread worldwide. These songs are so
happy. It’s a shame they probably
won’t rub off on many people.
On the other hand, if you are in a
wonderful relationship, you like to
sing along to songs without paying
much attention to the words or you like
to hear how wonderful love can be,
this is the CD for you.
The CD begins and ends with sad
songs that don’t quite fit the mood of
the rest of the album. Don’t let these
songs fool you. The rest of the CD is
full of romantic love songs that are
almost too happy.
Every song is about the same thing:
the guy can’t believe how in love he is
with the girl and that she actually loves
him back. “Too Good is True,” “Love
You Out Loud,” “You” and the title
track, “Melt” will all sweep young
lovers off their feet. These are just a
few of the lovely tunes perfect for an
evening of snuggling.
“Like I Am” is my favorite track on
the album. The song is about a girl
who is in love with a guy, and he can’t
understand why. He doesn’t think he is
that spectacular. It is a beautiful song,
with words that convey pure
innocence.
“Fallin’ Upside Down” seems just
like all the other love songs, until the
lead singer, Gary LeVox, hits and
holds the most beautiful “ A ’ I have
heard in a while. Although it didn’t
make up for the middle-school lyrics,
the note alone made me smile.
Breaking the happy love trend, the
first track on the CD is the single
“These Days,” which already debuted
on the radio. This is about a guy who
misses his ex and thinks about her
often. Most people can relate to a song
like this.
The final track is called “My Worst
Fear.” This song tells about a guy who
wants to leave his girlfriend mainly
because she loves him too much. In the
middle of the song, she leaves him in
the middle of the night. He is
devastated.
I think if I were not such a happy
person, this would be my favorite song
on the CD, but unfortunately, it
bummed me out.
Hidden in the middle of the eleven
tracks is another song not like the
others. The song “Mayberry” is about,
you guessed it, life “back in the day.”
It talks about how the world seems to
be moving so much faster these days.
The first verse explains that
“Sunday was a day of rest. Now it’s
one more day for progress.” 1 believe
I
these lyrics, but, I do not remember
those days when “everything was
black and white,” as the song recalls.
The song is pretty good if you can get
past the title, and Gary’s vocals are
nothing short of excellent on this track.
Like most new CDs, “Melt” came
with CD-ROM enhanced features. The
only problem is that in order to get to
the special features, you have to create
a profile on the Web site and log in.
This is very tedious. After you log in,
you need Real Player to do anything.
After all of that, you only get to see
video clips.
They could have done so much
more with the features. There is more
to do on their Web site than on their
CD. Actually, if you are a Rascal Flatts
fan, the Web site isn’t half bad. It is
www.rascalflatts.com. You can look at
photos other than those in the CD case.
If these guys are not beautiful enough
for you, you’re not looking hard
enough.
Finally, I love opening a new CD
and finding lyrics. I hate when CDs
don’t come with them. Lucky for me,
the Rascal Flatts granted my main
wish.
Overall, I think the CD is great to
listen to and I can never get enough of
the harmonies produced by the three
group members. They are all so
talented and although the song choices
for the CD could have been better,
“Melt” will stay in my CD player for a
while.
‘The Ring’ befuddles movie goers
All around town people are hyped
about “The Ring.” Even though this
film is a remake of a 1998 Japanese
blockbuster, the movie still captures
audiences. “The Ring” moves crowds
to question its bizarre content. Director
Gore Verbinsky ( “The Mexican”)
used creative but abstract content when
he made this flick.
Naomi Watts ( “Mulholland Drive”)
stars as journalist Rachel Keller.
Keller is composing her latest story
based on the death of her cousin.
Her cousin’s death came as a result
,of an urban legend. The legend says
that anyone who watches a particular
videotape will die seven days after
viewing it. The movie never explains
why people die after viewing the
movie, but it makes for a suspenseful
tale.
Keller teams with her ex-lover
Noah, (Martin Henderson), to unravel
the contents of the tape. When I say
ex-lover, that is what I mean. The
movie does not have those steamy
scenes where ex-lovers make wild
passionate love based solely on animal
instinct.
This is a good thing for “The Ring,”

because the lack of sex adds to the
nail-biting experience. While
searching for clues as to why the tape
kills its viewers, Rachel and Noah end
up watching it. The whole time that
the audience is piecing together the
clues, it is also left to wonder whether
Rachel and Noah will die.
There’s more! Rachel and Noah
have a son, Aidan. who sees spooky
premonitions. In addition, Aidan is
spooky all by himself. He is not your
days of “Pulp Fiction.” Like director
Quentin Tarantino, Verbinski uses the
random order effect to confuse and
befuddle audiences. The movie is
somewhat out of sequence. So, the end
of the movie explains the beginning. In
the end, we see the elements that the
beginning lacked. Even though we
never find out why people die after
watching the tape, we are able to
understand why Rachel’s cousin died.
Thc random effect adds to the
does not run around with
neighborhood kids and wreck things.
Aidan exhibits a rather adult
demeanor. He gets out of bed, dresses

next move. Also, a big suspense
gimmick was when Verbinski’s

Aidan connects the pieces of the
puzzle for Rachel and Noah.
The end of the film left a pretty
good body count, and when the end
came, I was astonished in every sense
of the word. The movie certainly
leaves room for a sequel. In fact, the
Japanese rendition of “The Ring” has
a sequel and a prequel.
“The Ring” is by far one of the
most abstract films that I have seen in
a while. It sort of took me back to the
credits. Also, the first few scenes are
rather slow. However, the rest of the
movie makes up for that.
I really enjoyed this movie. Not
only is it a suspenseful thrillerjt is also
a mystery. Movies that are tough to
figure out are often times the best. I
am not sure whether it’s worth $8 for
an evening show since no movie really
is, but I recommend this movie to
anyone. There are some rather
disturbing scenes. The squeamish
viewer should take a friend.

storyline has elements of Tekken 2 and
3 that show how the Mishima family
continues their loving relationshb bv
physically mangling each other.
The animation, in the cinema
portion of the game, looks very
realistic.
From the movement of the
characters’ bodies to the movement of
muscles in their arms, the graphics are
unmatched.
The graphics help set up the Iron
Fist Tournament. Although this scene
includes a number of other characters,
obviously Namco wanted to

Namco and Sony have continued
their award winning fighting game
series by releasing the fourth
installment of the critically-acclaimed
Tekken. Since the early days of the
original Tekken on Playstation,
Tekken has entertained big gamers
with its original graphics and awesome
fighting moves. But if gamers are like
me, they are expecting more than just
new graphics.
Let’s begin with the awesome
elements of the game. When the game
finished loading, I saw an extravagant

modes includc Arcade, Story, Survival,
Versus, Practice and Team Battle.
However, Namco neglected the TagTeam mode this timearound.
The long-time favorite Tekken
Force mode made a comeback, which
allows the user to take his or her
favorite character through multiple
stages of slobber-knocker action.
The difficulty level increases with
each fight. This feature is nice for
gamers who get tired of the arcade or
story modes.
Gamers who have played Tekken
3 in the arcade already know what to
expect from this game and its graphics.
If not, trust me, Tekken 4 looks
amazing. Each individual character
Y
has truly distinct detail. The designers
put in a ton of work and paid close
attention to the nitty-gritty elements.
Each fighter also has a coude of
costumes that range from t i e cool
modem look, spandex, to old school
clothes.
Each fighting level is also unique.
Each uses cool special effects such as
the realistic water in the Jungle stage.
As far as other gameplay settings,
this game is just another Tekken with
the exception of controls that are more
precise.
Also, according to the Namco Web
site, Namco has included an option to
play Tekken 4 on a 60 Mhz television
for gamers who want to run the game
in full NTSC speed.
U
Players will need to practice to
learn each and every move that each
character has to offer.
Overall, Tekken 4 is a game
designed for Tekken fans.-Gamers who
prefer Dead or Alive or the Virtua
Fighter series will not have their
opinions magically changed by Tekken
4.
All four games in the Tekken series
are unique in their own right, and the
gameplay styles are incomparable. Allin-all, this is the best fighting game
that I have played this year.
I recommend it to any gamer who
wants something new, rather than the
“same old” games. Tekken 4 is an
outstanding game and is not a waste of
money.

‘Hounds outplayed by Grand Valley in final road game
‘Hounds drop to 4-6 overall
and 3-6 in conference play
Brian Robbins
Editor- in - Chief
There was just too much talent on
the field for the Greyhounds to handle.
IJ of I rolled into Allendale, Mich.
on Nov. 9 to face NCAA #1-ranked
Grand Valley State hoping to avenge
last ycar‘s embarrassing 63-27 home
loss. It was not to be however, as the
Lakers triumphed over the ‘Hounds,
50- 13.
Grand Valley State got off to a
quick start, scoring on their first two
possessions for a quick 10-0 lead to
end the I’irst quarter.
In the second, senior tailback
Marquis Tolliver answered with a 27yard touchdown run to cut into the
‘Hounds deficit.
After GVS added another
touchdown but missed the extra point,
freshman kicker Nick Parker booted a
school-record 54-yard field goal.
However, the Lakers responded by
blowing the game wide open in the last
three minutes of the first half with two
late touchdowns.
Parker added a 47-yarder halfway
through thc third period to get U of I
within two touchdowns, but that was
as closc ;IS they would get. GVS
punched in three more touchdowns
after that t o make the result academic.
The ‘Hounds technically played a
nearly flawiess game; a fumble by
sophomore quarterback Matt Kohn
was their sole turnover.
However, the Lakers’ stifling
ciefeusc smothered any and all attempts
offensively. and their potent air attack
picked apart U of I defenders.
U of I mustered only 167 total
yards, while at the same time allowing
508 to GVS, including 314 in the air.
Individually, Tolliver led the
Indianapolis offense with 78 yards
rushing and 23 yards receiving, and
scored the lone touchdown.
U of I defeated Ashland 35-14 on
Nov. 2 in their second-to-last home
contest of the year.
Sophomore running back Donnie
McCoy had a breakout performance,
rushing for three touchdowns. Kohn
also was impressive, going 18-2 1
passing, with 180 yards and a
touchdown in just over two quarters of
Play.
Ashland began the game with a
bang, returning the opening kickoff for
a quick touchdown.
The ‘Hounds also scored on their
first attempt, but did so in their own
style, grinding 5:46 off the clock with
a 97-yard drive. Kohn capped it off by
lobbing a 5-yarder to junior wide
receiver Travis Zikes for the
touchdown.
Ashland did not do so well on their
next possession.
Junior free safety Chris Jackson
returned an interception to the 17 yard
line, allowing McCoy’s first score of
the day. After Ashland missed a field
goal, U of I went on the offensive
again, this time with Kohn himself
running in for the touchdown.
McCoy added another two
touchdowns later to seal the win.
U of I is now 4-6 and 3-6 in the
Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic
Conference. They will host Ferris State
on Saturday for Senior Day and the
2002 season finale.

Amy Haick
Stuff Writer
Coach Gary Kinkead’s men’s
swimming and diving team competed
in the Indiana Intercollegiate Meet
held at Purdue University on Oct. 26.
They placed fourth out of seven
teams, defeating NCAA Division I
opponents Valparaiso and Butler.
The team had many good swims
and posted good times for this early in
the season.
The Indiana Intercollegiate was the
first official meet of the 2002-03 swim
season. Many Division I teams were
present at the meet making for some
tough competition.
The competition was no problem
for senior Ore1 Oral, however, who
won both the 200-yard individual
medley and the 100-yard backstroke.
His time in the 200-yard IM also
earned him a trip to nationals, as he
made the automatic qualification time
for the 2003 NCAA I1 Nationals and
provisionally qualified in the 100-yard
backstroke.
Sophomore Bruno Fonseca also
automatically qualified for Nationals
in the 100-yard freestyle, placing
second overall. He won the 50-yard
freestyle and provisionally qualified
for nationals in that event.
Oral and Fonseca teamed with
sophomore Deniz Monkul and junior
Justin Lowrance to finish second in thc
200-yard medley relay.
Freshman Drew Hastings showed
he was prepared for competition by
placing third in the 200-yard individual
medley at his first college meet.
Hastings then teamed with seniors
Nate Pheney and Luke Martin and
junior Greg Mundt to finish fourth in
the 200-yard free relay.
The Greyhounds hosted Ashland

The meet-winning 400-yard
freestyle relay consisted of Fonseca,
Oral, Pheney, and Monkul. They
dominated Ashland in the end and won
the event by 2.97 seconds.
Other individual events that
contributed to the win against Ashland
included Oral, who had two individual
wins in the 400-yard individual medley
and the 200-yard breastroke.
His time i n the 400 IM qualified
him for the Division 11 Nationals,
giving him another event to swim
there.
Fonseca also won two events. He
won both the 200-yard freestyle and
the 100-yard freestyle, provisionally
qualifying for nationals in the 200.
Lowrance won the 50-yard freestyle
and Hastings won the 200-yard

The University of Indianapolis
women’s swimming team dominated
the dual meet against Ashland on Nov.
2, with a score of 131-72. The meet,
held at the Ruth Lilly Center pool,
improved the team’s record to 4-2

that they would not score any points

“Our times right now really put us,
I think, at the top of the list as a
favorite to win the GLIAC
championship to be held in February at
Hillsdale, which is our goal for the
season,” Kinkead said. “We’ve
probably been working harder the last
two months than we have in any
previous years, and I think that we are
currently swimming as well as we are
because the swimmers have a great
deal of confidence in the effort that we
are putting on in practices.”
The team currently consists of 19
swimmers and two divers. Seven
freshmen have been added to the

their talent\ in the classroom,”

not have the results from last
Saturday’s dual meet at GLIAC

Strong offseason brings
optimism for ‘Hounds
Lucas Klipsch
Opinion Editor
It’s November, and that means it’s
time for another basketball season.
This year’s University of Indianapolis
women’s basketball team enters the
season with confidence. According to
Coach Teri Moren, the team has
improved since last year.
“The feeling is that of optimism.
Last year we feel like we really
underachieved. We were able to get
into the postseason. For the second
time in a row we got into the
conference tournament and lost in the
first game.. .which isn’t too settling,”
she said.
Team members share coach
Moren’s feelings.
“I think we should do well, I think
our freshmen will really help,” said
junior forward Sarah Strahm.
Players and coaches will be looking
to the freshmen for support this season.
Freshman forward Megan Dossen,
winner of four state titles as a high
school player, is used to success. “I
think I’m going to contribute a lot.
We’re going toneed some strength
inside because we’re going to be
losing two post players next year,” she
said.
Strahm agrees. “We have some real
solid post players. Two of the
freshmen are post players,” she said.
The team is composed of three
seniors, two juniors, three sophomores
and three freshmen. Of the three
seniors, Kristen Lowery and Emily
Hammes are returning starters.
However, out of the eleven players,
only nine are currently active, while
two will start the season injured.
“There’s not very many of us. With
having few players, everyone’s going
to play,” Moren said.
Despite the team’s injury troubles,
Moren thinks they will be entertaining.
“Spectators will find a hungry
group of kids,” she said.
The team has been practicing since
Oct. 15 and plays its first game on
Nov. 23.
