W JAZZ ARTIST

World famous Jazz artist comes to U of Shelly Grimes

Sta8 Writer

Jazz legend Benny Golson played to a packed Ruth Lilly Performance Hall on Dec. 3, performingjazz favorites and sharing a few of his favorite stories with the audience.

Golson, a saxophone player, was born in Philadelphia in 1929. He began play- ing jazz music as a teenager and quickly started having “am” sessions with other teens in his neighborhood.

“They weren’t jam sessions,” Golson said. “They weren’t good enough to deserve the ‘J’, so we just called them ‘am sessions’.’’

Golson recalled meeting a neighbor- hood musician back in his early days in Philadelphia. A friend of Golson’s told him about a saxophone player who played just like famous jazz musician Johnny Hodges of the Duke Ellington Orchestra. Golson told his friend to bring the saxophone player to his house so he could meet him.

“He was just acountry bumpkin stand- ing there biting his fingernails,” Golson said.. “And then he started playing his horn.”

The saxophone player’s name was John Coltrane. . Golson and Coltrane soon became

good friends and began playing gigs in Philadelphia. Coltrane later left Philadel- phia and went to New York City to play with Miles Davis.

When Coltrane found out that Davis was looking for new tunes to record,

I CHRISTMAS OPTIONS

Coltram: insisted that Golson send one of his songs to Davis. Davis recorded the song, entitled “Stablemates,” which is now considered a jazz standard.

“I owe my entire jazz career to my dear friends Miles Davis and John Coltrane,” Golson said.

Golson left Philadelphia and moved to New York, or as he referred to it, “the Mecca for musicians.” Golson’s career flourishled after this.

“Once you’re in New York, if you’ve done your homework, it can take you to all sorts of fabulous things,” Golson said.

Golson has played with many bands, including those of Benny Goodman and Dizzy Ciillespie. He has composed music for acts such as Sammy Davis Jr., Ella Fitzgerald, Lou Rawls, Diana Ross and The Monkees.

He also wrote musical scores for television shows and movies such as “M*A*S*H,”“ThePartridgeFamily” and “Mission Impossible.” He has recorded over 30 albums under his own name or with otlher people.

He also recently appeared in the Steven Spielberg movie “The Terminal,” which stars Tom Hanks.

Gol:;on is also the only living jazz musician to have written eight standards for jazz repertoire.

Golson shared afew of those standards with the audience at his concert, including “Stablemates,” “Along Came Betty,” and “I Remember Clifford.”

Golson explained that the song “Along Came Betty” was written for a girl named Betty tlhat he met while traveling with his first band to Dayton, Ohio.

“I could see us riding away into the sunset. but then the sun set and she rode away,’‘ Golson joked.

Golson also noted that this song often

got him in trouble with his wife, who’s name is Bobbie.

“People came up to her and said, ‘You must be Betty!”’ Golson laughed.

“1 Remember Clifford” was perhaps the audience’s favorite song of the eve- ning. Golson said that the song was written as a tribute to his friend Clifford Brown, a 25-year-old trumpet player who was killed in a car accident in 1956.

Golson wrote the song while playing for Dizzy Gillespie, and upon hearing it Gillespie immediately wanted to record it. Since then, it has been recorded by numerous other musicians.

“Every time I play this song, I wonder what would have happened ifthat 25-year- old’s life hadn’t been snuffed out on the Pennsylvania Turnpike,” Golson said.

During the second half of the show, blues singer JC Faulk came onstage. Faulk sang and scatted two songs with the band and had the audience tapping their feet and clapping their hands.

The crowd continued to show theiren- thusiasm through the next song, Golson’s rendition of “Take The A Train,” a piece performed by the Duke Ellington Orches- tra. Golson received a standing ovation from the crowd after the performance.

Golson said that he loves performing his music live because it is so much more personal.

“The stories of why these songs were written.. . you can’t buy that at a record shop,” Golson said.

Although Golson has done many things in his 50-year career, he made it clear to the audience that he was not done yet.

“That’s the nature of creativity,” Gol- son said. “You’re never really satisfied. It’s aperpetual thing; no matter what you do, you always want to go further.”

Students on campus during winter break can still find holiday spirit The University of Indianapolis has

several opportunities on campus for

students who cannot return home for the winter break during

holiday seasons. Many students who stay on campus or nearby are athletes

and international students. Christmas

can be celebrated by all of these people with something as

simple and symbolic as the Christmas tree

on Smith Mall. The tree lighting was on

ONE CARD SYSTEM

Photo hy Zach Bolinger

Christmas break is seen by most as one of the best holidays of the year often including achance to go home, visit with family and friends, travel a little bit and maybeget ajob to earn some extra money. But what happens to those students e h o have been on campus for that entire break and cannot go home for Christmas?

As soon as that last final is over, most students wave goodbye to their friends then sprint to the nearest car or plane that is heading home. Many have never even considered the ideaof not being able to go home for Christmas, but Office of Resi- dent Life Administrative Assistant, Lisa Moore estimates that about 50 students will be staying on the U of I campus for the holiday season.

These students include international students who will not be going home and a number of athletes who are i n the middle of their seasons. The athletes will fill their time practicing, traveling and hosting numerous games throughout the break, but other students who will reside on campus are left to fend for themselves over the break.

“The halls pretty much shut down and the cafeteria is closed,” Moore said. “Students are basically on their own.”

The students are allowed to stay i n theirown roomsafter filling out a request and paying an extra $210, but near14 all of the rest of the campus will be closed. Afew things that will be staying open for certain holiday hours will be the Schwitzer Student Center and the Krannert Memo- rial Library.

Cora Heck, administrative assistai~t forthe International Division, said that i n previous breaks the students who stay on

campus usually come toschwitzertoplay pool or ping-pong orjust hang out. Many trf the international students will go out of state to visit family and friends, even if they are not able to go home.

Lee Schreyer, ajunior from Ghana, has chosen nottogohome this yearbutinstead will spend about half of his vacation in Indianapolis. He looks forward to staying around campus because some friends from Canada are coming to visit him.

For Christmas Schreyer plans to go to blarylandtovisit with hisaunt andcousins but is still debating on whether he wants to stay there for Nzw Year’s.

This isn’t the first time that Schreyer has been away from home for the holi- days. The winter break of his freshman year he spent in Boston. The main reason that he chose to return home last year was because many of his friends were going to be there and they planned to all be there in order to have a little reunion. This year his friends will be around campus so the decision to stay was easy.

“We don’t have anything planned,” Schreyer said, “but we’ll find something to do.”

This year, some things to do include several games hosted by the men’s and women’s basketball teams, a wrestling invitational, amen’s and women’s swim- ming and diving invitational or a visit to the Christel DeHaan Fine Arts Center after Jan. 10 to experience the work of visiting artists Mark Gordon and Jeremy Simmons.

Cheap options for off campus enter- tainment ideas can be found downtown. The Circle of Lights display on Monu- ment Circle has been shown every year for 42 years and is free. Another event is the Indiana History Center’s showing, “Holidays in the Heartland,” which is free to everyone as well. For New Year’s Eve, several different clubs will be open and ringing in the New Year.

U of I will make the change to a new ID card system in Fall 2005 Lauren Howey Feature Editor

The University of Indianapolis is planning to install a new system in the cafeteria that will allow students to pay fortheirfood with adebitcard-likesystem called One Card.

The One Card system will be in place by Fall of 2005. Funding has been

approved but other details still need to be worked out. Students at U of I should learn more details in Janury 2005.

,4ny amount of money can be put on the card. Students will be able to check their balances as well.

“The current system is that if you don’t use the meals, you lose it,” senior Eric Raiider, president of Campus Program Board, said. “With this you can put a thousand dollars on it and you can actu- ally see the money decreasing.”

The University of Indianapolis is planning to phase in the One Card sys-

tem. Students will be able to use their card in the cafeteria initially. Eventually the bookstore, vending machines, media services and other offices will be acces- sible to One Card purchases.

“This is a long term plan,” Raider said. “It could eventually even be a key to the residence halls.”

According toTed Polk, director of Polk Food Services, the menu and food in the cafeteria will be the first change.

Each item in the cafeteria will have a separate price and students will check out at registers. The cafeteria also plans

on making more items available for take-out.

“This will make most things grab-and- go style,” Polk said.

Many expect the new One Card system to be a positive change at the University of Indianapolis.

“1 think it’s something students are re- ally going toenjoy,” Raider said. “You can get more for your money and the charge per item will help eliminate waste. This will be completely efficient for everyone involved.”

Polk said that the school has wanted to &dents of the details.

use the One Card system for about three of four years. “ I think it’s a step up,” he said. “I’m kind of excited. I think it sounds fun.”

The One Card system requires an entirely new computer system. Other schools like Franklin College, Valparaiso University, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, Indiana Uni- versity and DePauw University all have similar systems.

According to Polk and Raider, meet- ings will be held next semester to inform

Editor reflects on what to do if a car is broken into Craig Haupert

Entrrtuinnirnt Editor

My car was broken into this past summer and I lost more than a thou- sand dollars worth of stereo equipment. The worst thing about the break-in was that it probably could have been pre- vented. Although I lost a lot, I can say that I also have learned a lot. There are some things that I will never do again.

The first thing that anyone with a car should do is buy a security system, preferably one that has a flashy light that can be seen from the window. If the system doesn’t have a light, you can put a sticker on the car or anything that makes it clear that your car is pro-

tected. Most criminals see a security system and move on to an easier target. I have a security system, but it had stopped working about six months prior to the break-in. After the break-in, 1 got it repaired, bul about a week too late.

If you are worricci about annoying your neighbors with a car alarm there

is another option. A product called Car Sitter alerts you with an alarm in your room when your car is being broken into. When you hear the alarm, you can look out your window to confirm the break-in and call the police from your room. This allows you to monitor your car while at home, but does not protect it while you are anywhere else.

I had two subwoofers in my 1998 Pontiac Firebird. The car has a hatch back, and the speaker box sat down inside it with the speakers facing the window. The speakers were visible to anyone who happened to glance at the back window of the car. This was a mistake. The officer I spoke to told me that most criminals visit places where there are a lot of cars, like the apart- ment complex where I was staying. The criminals walk by each car and look

inside with a flashlight for anything of importance, including stereo equip- ment. Because my speakers were so visible, the criminals targeted my car. If I had covered the speakers with something the thieves probably would not have bothered my car.

Besides the stereo equipment, my wallet was also stolen. This is probably self-explanatory, but never leave your wallet in your car. I had to get a new li- cense and a new Social Security card. I had to cancel my bank and credit cards. It was a huge hassle that I did not need. Never ever leave your wallet in the car.

When the police arrive, they will ask what was stolen. Make sure you tell them everything. The insurance company will look at the police report to assess what was stolen. I f you leave out something, the insurance company

will want to know why. If you have for- gotten to tell the police something that was taken, call and tell them as soon as you re mem her.

.Also worth noting, you can claim tip to $300.00 was taken from your car. Even if you didn’t have this much, you ciin claim you did.

The insurance company will want t o see rcceipts for the stolen items. I suggest keeping all the receipts for expensive items that you keep in your car. This will make negotiating with the insurance company much easier.

Break-ins happen and will continue to happen as long as there are thieves. That‘s why it is so important to protect your belongings as best you can. That way y o i i don’t have to have the same experience that 1 had with a car break- i n . .

SAILING OUR VESSEL

‘Sailing Our Vessel’ has second conversation number on adult learning Katy Yeiser

Sports Editor

The University of Indianapolis “Sail- ing Our Vessel” program held a faculty and non-traditional student gathering to discuss “Learning with Non-Traditional Students, ‘‘ which was the title of the forum.

The meeting opened with a buffet din- ner that was served to the participants . The nun-traditional students, professors. faculty and staff were spread out among four tables where different topics were discussed.

Each table had one facilitator who addressed questions and concerns to the rest of the table in order to spark different conversations between ekeryone. The fa- cilitators from the School for Adult Learn- ing were Tom Christenberry, director of public safety education, Kathy Simpher. the key academic advisor, and Clance LaTurner. Perry Kea, the Philosophy and Religion Chair and Associate Professor was also a facilitator. SAL‘S Dean and Associate professor, Pat Jefferson moder- ated the event.

Particiapants at each table had input

student relations at the School for Adult Learning.

Some students discussed that it was important for the professor’s to have a clear syllabus that they stick to so they are able to plan theirother activities around it. Many of the students commented that it is difficult when teacher’s change due dates and reading assignments around, because of the other obligations the students have to their jobs and family. The professors and students went back-and-forth between what works with them in the classroom and what does not.

It was dso noted by the particiapants that the non-traditional students are very independent incontrast tomost traditional students.

They are not involved in group activi- ties and do not have the luxury of being with a professor more than once a week. Professors, faculty and staff also felt it was important to find a way for U of 1’s traditional program could accommodate their non-traditional program.

The topics discussed varied from each table. The common thread among the tables was efforts to imprcve the situ- ations non-traditional students are faced with, as well as enhance the School for Adult Learning.

The Esch Hall renovation has yet to be completed, but several offices have already changed places. The offices that have moved are from the Information System department. When the renovation is complete all Information System offices will be located in the Sease Wing.

The first office tomove was theofficeof Chief Information Officer Jeffery Russell. His office was moved from across the hall from the elevator in Sease Wing to what used to be Kraft Conference Room, also in the Sease Wing.

“We moved right at the beginning of the year,” Russell said. The space is sup- posed to only be temporary.

The Help Desk was moved from the basement of Esch and put in the place of Russell’s previous office space. Unlike Russell’s new office, this space is not temporary for the Help Desk.

“The help desk will stay here,” said Michelle Duman, director of client ser- vices. “We did get this [office] to be the permanent location because I didn’t want to have to move it and then move it again. I didn’t want to try to have everyone get used to a new location again.”

The Help Desk also has space in the basement of Sease Wing to help correct computers and have additional storage.

Duman said she hopes the Help Desk

will now be easier for students, faculty and staff to access.

“I hope it is easier for people to find. It is at a location where people can get to it instead of down in the basement of Esch and out of the way.”

Duman also feels it will be easier to watch the computer lab in the Sease Wing. “Now we’re across the hall from the open lab. [Now] if they have trouble they can walk across the hall and find us,” she said.

During the break between semesters another office will move to the Sease Wing from the basement of Esch: the office of Academic Computing S e n ices [ACS].

“As it stands now, [the construction company] is drilling through the base- ment walls [in Esch] so we need to get the datacenter and the rest of the people out of there as soon as possible,” Russell said.

Russell said the office will be moved before Christmas but the data system will not be transferred until Jan. 7-9. The network is only expected to be down half a day.

All of Information Services will be located in Sease Wing after ACS moves. Information Services includes Client Ser- vices (the Help Desk andclient Services), Academic Computing Services, Krannert Memorial Library, Web Services, Media Services, Telecom and the Center for Instructional Technologies.

According to Russell, the purpose of having all Information Services located in one building is so the department can work better together.

“A number of years ago there was a large technology campus committee that came up with having a technology building that would have everything house inside of it, from computer labs to media resources. I thought that was a great idea.”

When the Esch Hall renovations were beginning, Russell lobbied to have the space the Communication department was leaving behind.

“We already have the media here [in Sease Wing] and the library and the Center for Instructional Technologies,” Russell said.

Media Services, already located in the building, will also be updating. “What’s happening with Media Services is a pro- cess that actually began last December,” said Bob Jones, deputy chief iqformation officer.

“We shifted the media holdings to the library and freed up the space in the back of media services where those cabinets had been housed.”

Jones said there were new rooms built i n Media Services which will house sat- ellite equipment and the other will be a video editing room.

“Outside that area will be what we’re calling a self-serve production space. When it’s finished there will be a variety of computer spaces sitting there which will be capable of doing everything from CD burning to DVD burning, which will allow students, faculty and staff to work on more high tech projects,” Jones said.

All of the renovations are expected to be complete by the summer of 2005.

Halfway through the season, the University of Indianapolis’ men’s swimming team is overcoming a small roster and finding success by imple- menting tougher practices.

Strong individual performances have highlighted the season so far.

Two major things the seniors have done to intensify workouts compared to previous years is add more yardage and more dry-land activities.

They feel that because of the dry-land and extra yardage the team is swimming as well in competitions early this year as they have in the past in December and January.

Davidson, the point guard on the team, feels

“1 am her eyes on the floor,” Davidson said. Moren points to her talented players and for-

mer coaches, more than to herself, as the reason she has been successful.

Moren was coached by Donna Sullivan at Seymour High School and Lynne Dunn at Pur- due University from 1988-1991.

“ I learned a lot of things from them,” Moren said. “A lot of the things I do in practice certain- ly come from them.”

Moren noted that her most memorable mo- ment in high school was advancing to the state finals her senior year, and she continued to have success on the court at Purdue. Moren started at the point guard position for four years and helped her team make it to it’s first ever “Sweet Sixteen” berth in the NCAA tournament in 1990 and win it’s first Big Ten Championship in 1991.

After her playing career at Purdue ended, she became the varsity assistant at Lafayette Jef- ferson High School. During her time at Lafay-

high school. You only see them [the players] for an hour and a half to two hours a day.”

Moren got her first taste of col- lege coaching in 1993 when she was hired as an assistant coach at Butler University under Head Coach June Olkowski. During Moren’s six years at Butler, she was a recruiting coor- dinator and was able to recruit nine Indiana All-stars.

Moren moved on with Olkowski to Northwestern University in 1999 for a season as the top assistant coach.

After her only season at Northwestern, U of I hired her in the spring of 2000 to be head coach.

IMoren invested what she learned under Olkows- ki a i U of I.

“I think my philosophy is very similar [to Olk.owski’s]. Both she and Coach Dunn had the philosophy that defense is going to win you a lot of games, and I think I’ve tried to bring that mentality to our program here,” Moren said.

In addition to the knowledge she gained from her coaches, Moren studies the coaching techniques of others.

“I think I’m one of the best thieves there are,” Moren said. “I’m a student of the game, and I don’t think I have all the answers.

“We can’t play above the rim, and because of that we have to become more fundamental. We have to become great passers and great shooters.”

Moren also believes in an “open door” policy in order to develop a strong player-coach relationship.

“Any of us can go into her office and we will almost always come out laughing,” Davidson said.

“I love it when the kids come in and want to talk basketball, and maybe not talk basketball. I think it’s important that you listen. The kids want to be heard, and 1 don’t have all the answers and I don’t pretend like I have all the answers. I never got into the profession thinking that I would never make a mistake,” Moren said.

Coach Todd Sturgeon can boast of many praiseworthy achievements in his past eight years as head coach of the U of I men’s basket- ball team.

He holds the school’s fourth-highest winning percentage of S90, was the second coach in the school’s history to take a team to two consecu- tive NCAA I1 tournaments, and has led his team to seven successive winning seasons for the first time in almost 40 years.

son. The 2003-2004 team’s 12-0 start was the third best in school history, and propelled the team to a seventh place ranking in the national polls. They also won the school’s first ever Great Lakes Valley Conference cham- pionship that season.

However, Sturgeon believes that the sport goes beyond the formalities of scores and sta- tistics to the lessons learned and relationships formed.

Sturgeon hopes that he is able to teach his players many things on the court that they can use in their future careers. Some of these things include hard work, unselfishness and problem solving.

“We hope that, in addition to just winning a couple of basketball games, we are able to have some impact on the kids,” he said.

According to junior center Jon Labad, the passion with which Sturgeon coaches definitely has an impact on the players.

“He’s unbelievably passionate about the sport,” he said. “He praises us to the faculty even if they don’t really like basketball.”

Sturgeon has been connected to the sport of basketball since he was young. His mother played college basketball, and he comes from a close-knit, sports-minded family.

He played for his high school team in Val- lonia, Ind., and competed from 1984- 1988 at DePauw University. Over his four years at DePauw, his team had a 87-23 record. He was inducted into the DePauw Athletic Hall of Fame in 2003.

Before becoming head coach of the ‘Hounds in 1998, Sturgeon spent four years as head coach at DePauw and five years as the ‘Hounds as- sistant coach.

He says that other coaches unknowingly convinced him to pursue coaching.

“I think I got into coaching because I had coaches that I really liked and respected,” he said.

After more than three decades of coaching, Kinkead Craig Haupert Before becoming a coach, Kinkead Olympic trials in 1968 where I ended said.

was a swimmer. Kinkead started swim- ming when he was eight years old and quickly proved to be a natural talent. At age nine, only a year after he began swimming, he became the national record holder in the 50-yard but- terfly for that age group.

Kinkead continued to do well through age 12, but then hit a pla- teau and stopped swimming well. At that timie, his family moved from Indianapolis to Huntington, Ind. There he swam under Hall of Fame swimmer-tumed-coach Glenn Hummer. Hummer helped pull Kinkead out of his rut. “I don’t know if it was my attitude or just my self image, but he turned it around,” Kinkead said.

After high school Kinkead was recruited and swam at the University of Michigain. According to Kinkead, while at the University of Michigan he continued to perform well. Kinkead placed first in the Big Ten conference his junior year in the 400 individual medley. That event requires the athlete to swim 100 yards, or four lengths of the pool, fix each of the 4 strokes in the following order: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle. In order to perform well in is event the swimmer must have a mastery of all strokes and good endurance. In his junior and se- nior year he was second in the Division I nationals,. His junior year the only one that beat him was the American record holder ancl his senior year the only one to beat him was the world record holder, Gslry Hall.

what I thought I knew 34 years ago,” Kinkead said.

One of the things that Kinkead has learned over his 34 years as a swim- ming coach IS that he can’t make a swimmer great by himself. The swim- mer has to meet him halfway. When Kinkead was coaching in Montreal, Canada, he had a girl who was 14 years old and only seven seconds slower than the world record in the 200 backstroke. Kinkead believed she would be great. He worked her very hard, but she wasn’t willing to give it her all.

“I was young and stupid,’’ Kinkead said. “I was forcing her to do things that she didn’t think she could do it, but I knew she could. After about a year and a half she quit.”

Kinkead saw her about six months later and asked her why she had quit. She told him that he wanted it more than she did. That response sticks in Kinkead’s mind to this day.

“After that, I realized that some people you lose,” Kinkead said. “The only reason why you lose them is not because you don’t work with them. You lose them because they don’t really care as much as you do. So instead of beating myself up, I will go to someone

education at the University of Michi- gan. Kinkead always wanted to be a swim coach and a teacher. Kinkead’s first job as a coach was at Ann Arbor Huron High School where he also taught.

“My first year of coaching there was pretty successful. We were second in the high school state meet in Michigan. I really didn’t like teaching and so I strictly wanted to coach. So after that year I quit my teaching position and then found another job coaching in Lexington, Kentucky. I coached there for a year and a half then found a job in Montreal, Canada,” Kinkead said.

While in Canada, Kinkead worked in the 1976 Olympic games. Kinkead was in charge of all the results that came out of the swimming pool. The results system used computers, but in 1976 no one had any experience with them except military personnel.

“I had about four or five military people working under me. They would manually enter the times and splits for the swimmers into the computer, When they finished that it was my job to check it all to make sure it was correct

FACULTY PROFILE

Chase lives a life of adventure, travel and learning Brittani Whitmore

Staff’ Writer

Traveling to many countries, learn- ing many languages, working with government agencies, and becoming a single mother are just some of the things Mimi Chase has experienced in her life. Yet she still says, “There’s always the next adventure.”

Born i n Montclair. N.J., to a mother o f French heritage and a father with an Irish and American background, Mimi Chase remembers her childhood as full of travel. Her father’s job in the Air Force meant she had to move every two years as a child.

“ I t h i n k that is what really made a big impact on my international travel. I can remember as a child looking out the window as we drove by the houses with lights and TV’s on,” Chase said. “And I was thinking about the lives of all the people. I was just curious as I traveled, and I still feel that way now.”

Chase especial I y remembers having to say good-bye to the friends she made when she moved. “You had to meet someone new every two years and say good-bye to your old friends. I t was very hard. I remember crying some- times,” Chase said.

After her father changed jobs the moving halted and the family settled in Indiana. Chase attended Indiana Uni- versity in Bloomington and graduated with a major i n Spanish and a minor in French. “I loved Bloomington. It was an international paradise. I loved it from the minute I arrived,” Chase said.

Through I.U. Bloomington, she went to Peru for a full calendar year. It allowed her to become fluent in Span- ish.

“I had a great time. It was a great immersion program,” Chase said.

During Chase’s studying in Peru she can remember what the Peruvians call “social manifestations.”

“We would call them protests,” Chase said. ‘The teacher’s union was protesting. 1 can remember tear gas,

military officers on each street comer with machine guns and plastic visors, and a lot of slocial unrest in Peru. I was there before the Shining Path, a revolutionary group that practiced a lot of terrorism in the country. But now they’re gone and once again it’s [Peru] a great place.”

While at an archeological dig in Peru, Chase dug up a piece of some- one’s hair with the scalp still attached. It was over 1,000 years old. Also, Chase found part of an arm bone and a piece of pottery, which all were turned in to the museum in Peru.

Chase encountered Tingo Maria, a mountainous area in Peru. “I wasn’t intending on going there but I told the bus driver to stop. And 1’11 always re- member that place,” Chase said. “It had mountains that they call the Sleeping Bruuty because the shape of the moun- tains look likes a woman lying down. There were caves with bats and rivers. It was an incredible place.”

After she left Peru, Chase came back to Indiana and completed another year of study. Chase then went to Spain for a year.

Next, Chase went to Jordan to visit some friends. On the way back, she stopped in Greece. She ended up stay- ing for a year working at a hotel and a daycare teaching English.

“1 lived in Athens for a year. I never took any classes to learn Greek. I just learned it from hearing people and going to the booths where you can buy things,” Chase said. “I would just go buy one item and practice speaking. The first word was Efharisto [ef-har- ris-tou’], which is thank you. It was so hard; it took me three days to learn it. So I just kept buying candy until I learned it. I’m self taught on Greek.”

After she left Greece, Chase came back to the United States and decided to go to graduate school in Washington, D.C. There she received her master’s in international education. Because she could speak Spanish fluently, she got a job with Miranda Associates. The com-

pany sent employees throughout Latin America to set up courses for the FBI, DEA, or Secret Service.

“I had an incredible three years with this company. ‘They were teaching techniques of protection and personal security awareness,” Chase said.

Her responsibilities included work- ing with the local police department, cooperating with the embassy, making plans for the courses, welcoming the professors, and hiring translators.

During her time with the Miranda Associates, Chase also helped the U.S. Department of Justice set up a police academy in Panama. The arrest of Panamanian leader Manual Noreaga threw the counrty into turmoil.

“The police and the army were like one in the same. So they needed a separate police force. I t was such turmoil before we got there. We wore bulletproof vests, moved all the time, and never took the same paths,” Chase said.

Before Panama she had stayed in Columbia for a year. “There were a lot of bombings [due to the drugs and cocaine that came in]. So our agents were sent here to teach judges and politicians how to vary their routines so they couldn’t easily be targeted,” Chase said.

“We taught in one building on Friday, and on Monday it got bombed. I know people who were horribly scarred,” Chase said. “For the rest of the time in Columbia you would see a lot of people walking around with scarred faces from that bombing. It could have been us.”

That bombing remained in her mind. One night while she was asleep back in Washington, D.C., she heard sirens and woke up to find herself trying to get out of the window. “In my sleepy state I thought it was a bomb. The screen [in the window] was stopping me, and then I woke up and saw the fire truck go- ing by. I thought ‘Oh, I’m back in the States’,’’ Chase said.

Although her job with the Miranda Associates was risky at times. she did

ALBUM REVIEW

Eminem is still explicit in his newest album ‘Encore’ Lucas Klipsh

Editor-in-Chief

“Parental Advisory, Explicit Con- tent.” Everyone has seen this Reagan- era sticker on album covers. Pop-rap- per Marshall Mathers, a.k.a Eminem, personifies this explicit content in his newest album, “Encore.”

Slim Shady LP,” Mathers has both divided and united the hip-hop world. On one hand, he is the first Caucasian rapper to hit the pop scene since Vanilla Ice, and the only such artist to enjoy a remotely long career. Em’s first three albums, “The Slim Shady LP,” “The Marshall Mathers LP” and “The Emi- nem Show” went platinum a combined 2 1 times. However, Em is not known for his fame, but for his foul mouth. His albums may be touted as success stories for hip-hop, but they will be re- membered as controversial and in some cases even hateful.

“Encore” is no different. In fact, the album’s first single, “Just Lose It,” which seems to parody some of Em’s earlier works, including “The Real Slim Shady” (2000), “Superman” (2002) and “Lose Yourself’ (2003) already has sparked outrage from the King of Pop himself, Michael Jackson. In the single’s video Em, dressed as Jackson, dances in a bedroom with children while singing “What else could I possibly do to make noise?/I done touched on everything but little boys/and that’s not a stab at Michael, that’s just a metaphor1I’m just psy- cho.. .”

Em doesn’t stop with Jackson.

Since his first major album, “The

“Encore” is loaded with his usual brand of scathing sarcasm along with a healthy portion of verbal jabs directed at celebrities. In “Rain Man,” Em says “High fived Nick LacheyIStuck a pin in Jessica’s head and walked away/and as she flew around the room like a balloon Ugrabbed the last can of chicken tuna out the trash can and zoom I/headed back to the Never Land Ranch/with a peanut butter jelly chicken tuna sand- wich.” Em is referring to pop singer Jessica Simpson’s confusion about a “chicken of the sea” brand can of tuna on her MTV show, “Newlyweds.”

Though celebrities are free game, apparenlly so is the Bush administra- tion. “Square Dance” (2002) and “Rap Game” (2003) both took mild stabs at the president, but “Encore” dedicates two songs, “Mosh” and “We as Ameri- cans,” to displaying Em’s disgust with Bush.

One element absent from “Encore” is the betef song. Modem hip-hop albums typically come equipped with at least one song about how much the artist hates another artist in the indus- try. The late Eazy E helped originate the art of the beef song in the early 90s, but since then every rapper from 2pac to Jay-Z has made his beef public in his albums. Em is usually the king of such beefs. His list is dangerously long and includes Everlast, Limp Bizkit, Canibus, Jermaine Dupri, Dilated Peoples and most notably, Ja Rule. Em has been known to tear other rappers to shreds 011 his albums, but doesn’t attack anyone directly on “Encore.” In fact, on “Toy Soldiers,” Em raps about “in- heriting” protCgCe 50 Cent’s beef with Murder Inc (Ja’s record label), and later admits on the song that he wished it had never started. But, never being one to back down from beefs, Em promises

Abaca PresrlKRT

in the album’s final song, “Ricky Ticky TOC,” that he’s ready for any challenge when he says “Those that know me know itlso they probably told you to go with the flowljust so that I don’t ex- plodeland have another episode where I let it go as far aslthe one with [“Source Magazine” co-owner] Benzino did1I’m waitin’ for that next beefil’m cocked, locked and loaded.”

Eminem is seriously popular. Ac- cording to the Recording Industry As- sociation of America, he is the second highest-selling rap artist of all time. But there’s clearly something wrong with him. In probably the best song on “En- core,” “Crazy in Love,” Em raps about his on-again off-again relationship with his ex-wife, Kim Mathers. It’s lyrically genius but it’s content is disturbing to say the least. He explains, in first per- son, as though he were talking to Kim, that he enjoys hurting her, yet he loves her with all of his heart. Conversely, in perhaps the crudest song in the Emi- nem catalogue, “A** Like That,” Em, rapping in a poor and offensive Middle Eastern accent, makes sexual refer- ences about youngsters Hilary Duff and the Olson twins. In “Puke” Em swears that Kim, who he compliments

in “Crazy in Love,” makes him sick to his stomach, and even adds disgusting vomit sounds to the intro of the song. Outdoing himself on the insensitivity meter, Em dedicates nearly an entire verse of “Rain Man” to the recently deceased Christopher Reeves, saying “I killed Super Mad1 killed Super.. . Man/ and how ironidthat I’d be the bad guy, kryptonite the green chronici’cause 1 ain’t got no legs.”

How, then, do fans stick with this guy? I’ll tell you, because I am a fan. that it’s not easy. After hearing “En- core” all the way through, 1 was angry. It’s one of those albums that you have to listen to over and over to hear the good rap. Songs like “Evil Deeds,” “Never Enough” and “Mockingbird” remind me of why I started buying Eminem albums in the first place. However “A** Like That,” “Puke” and “Big Weenie” make me wish I’d never started.

In fact, “Encore” almost makes me think that Em doesn’t care whether or not his fans stick with him. He’s been rapping about how much he hates being famous since the “Marshall Mathers LP,” but goes over the edge on “En- core.” Now he’s not just mocking his fans, he’s daring them to stop buying his albums. In “Evil Deeds,” admittedly one of the best songs on “Encore,” Em insults fans for not understanding the rigors that come with fame. In “Big Weenie,” arguably the worst song on “Encore,” the lyrics sound more like an experiment to see how much abuse lis- teners can take. The cd booklet art even features Em murdering fans at a show.

I’d like to say that I’m completely satisfied with Eminem’s career, but I can’t. It’s not like he’s fallen off. He displays enough talent and originality in “Encore” to keep me wanting more, but it’s certainly a disappointing finale

CONCERT REVIEW

Award-winning faculty guitarist performs in Indy Adjunct faculty member Petar Jankovic played for a fundraiser at the Indianapolis Art Center

Sarah Clough Distribution Manager

Award-winning classical guitarist, and University of Indianapolis adjunct faculty member Petar Jankovic, recent- ly made an appearance in Indianapolis as he performed in a fundraising event on Nov. 2 I at the Indianapolis Art Cen- ter in Broad Ripple.

The fundraiser was designed to raise money for St. Nicholas Serbian Orthodox Church as they prepare to build a new addition to their church. With ticket prices set at $30 per person and more than a hundred people in at- tendance the church was able to raise a nice some of money for their construc- tion project.

The price seemed outrageous to me and I was tempted to walk away, but after attending the performance I’m glad that 1 chose to attend.

. demonstrated.

I had never seen a classical guitarist play before and it intrigued me to watch as his fingers glided over the strings and picked out each individual note clearly and precisely. It was so differ- ent from the guitar music that we have become accustomed to today. Rather than strumming a few chords, each note stoold out perfectly. The result of this was often a swarming of individual notes thal came together masterfully to tell a story and to evoke such strong emotions that there was really no need for lyrics to dictate the story.

After the first song was finished, Jankovic rose to his feet and gave a slight bow. After the cheers of the audience ranging from grandparents to infants had subsided, he gave a short explanation of the music and the cultur- al background of the song he had just played. This would become his routine throughout the entire performance as he hypnotized his audience and then fed them knowledge about the context of the music.

One of the things that I had found interesting as Jankovic was introducing the next two pieces was that he said, “Certain pieces are written specifically for piano, but have been celebrated by the guitar.’ If I had heard that same sen- tence outside of this event I would have thought that he was crazy and that the transition made from a work designed for piano into the world of guitar would be impossible. You think of the great works by Beethoven and Mozart and it’s hard to imagine a guitarist being able to even produce the same effect, let alone going beyond that to celebrate it, but through this experience I could

really hear the notes coming together and the vibrant sounds of the guitar enriched the music by adding a deeper quality to the characteristics of the music than it would have had if it had been played on piano.

His repertoire of songs was based around works with strong Spanish and Central American backgrounds. As the music filled the auditorium, it was easy to imagine yourself in a time and place ruled by romance. The feeling of the music transported you to the heart of a small 19th century Spanish villa on one of its most beautiful days. Culture rang out from each note and its composition.

The hour and a half performance, made up of nine songs, went quickly. Nearly ever song was made up numer- ous movements. Some were composed in three movements and some were composed in five. As you sit listening to each song and imagining your own plot to go with it you do not realize the length of the song until it is finished and you think back over each of its parts and how it evolved.

The song that interested me the

most was the “Libra Sonatine.” Jankovic told the plot of this song before he played it and explained that the composer, Roland Dyens, created this piece and dedicated it to his heart surgeon.

The story that unfolds throughout the music is the account of his trip to India in which he discovered his need for a heart bypass surgery. The second movement begins with a sharp motif that is meant to describe the incision that the doctors made and then the mu- sic begins to mellow as he is relating it to him passing out. There is a constant pulsing rhythm throughout this move- ment, which is meant to represent the IV that is pulsing through his veins. Then the music turns dark and other- worldly as it conveys the account of how he almost died during surgery. The third movement, Fuoco, meaning fire, returns to an energetic pace as it reveals his love for life after his recovery.

This piece stood out so well in my mind because of the fact that he had ex- plained the plot prior to its performance and in doing this I had listened to the work understanding the exact meaning and listening for specific points in the song where this meaning was conveyed the best.

Jankovic ended the evening play- ing an assortment of different Tango pieces. The music was magnificent and at the close of the event Jankovic received a standing ovation.

It was a beautiful event and if the opportunity were to present itself again within Indianapolis, I would encourage people to attend, it’s an experience that you won’t regret.

4 VIDEO GAME REVIEW

‘Halo 2’ surpasses original, offers exciting gameplay, story line Craig Haupert

Entertainment Editor

“Halo 2” is the sequel to one of the most popular video games in recent years. The first “Halo” sold an ungodly amount of copies and since it’s release in early November 2004, “Halo 2” has been no different. But what makes the game series so special? What makes millions of people decide to spend $50.00 on a little formatted disk? The story isn’t anything we haven’t seen before. Minor details aside it is just another game where you have to save the earth from hordes of aliens. The genre of game isn’t groundbreaking, “Halo” is one of hundreds of first-per- son shooters. The truth is that “Halo” isn’t groundbreaking in any specific area, it is just really good all around. The controls are very intuitive, the single-player campaign is really enjoy- able, the graphics are great and the multiplayer online is worth the price of the game itself. There aren’t any legiti- mate complaints except that after you finish the single player campaign you are left wanting more. But that feeling of wanting more is just you reacting to finishing a great game and realizing that it is over. It is like driving home

from the beach on your last day of vacation. You had a great time and you don’t want it ito end. That is no reason file a complaint against the game like so many otheir reviews have done.

The game took me about 20 hours over the course of two weeks to fin- ish. On most reviews it says it should take anywherlz from ten to 15 hours. I assume those people were super nerds with nothing better to do than sit around and play “Halo” all day. If you are a normal person with a job or something else to take up your time, completing the game should take you around 20 hours.

The Master Chief is a seven-foot tall half human half robot who’s primary objective seems to be protecting human life from whatever threatens it. In the original “Halo” the earth was threatened by an alien race known as the Covenant. The Covenant was trying to gain control of a giant floating ring in outer space called “Halo.” To the Covenant, Halo was an important religious artifact. In reality Halo turned out to be a power- ful weapon created by an ancient race. The weapon was a last resort used to destroy a parasitic life-form called The Flood. The weapon would destroy
