Student input sought for developing center

■ Public Opinion Lab finds strong support for several projects, including lounge, learning center.

By Brian M oore

In a survey conducted by the IUPUI have made thetr pilch for whal they expect to see in the proposed student center.

So far. the debate over a proposed student center has been limited to a war of words between the administration and the student government.

The survey was initiated by the Office of Planning and lastitutional Improvement. By way of randomly selected phone calls to 435 students, the survey collected the thoughts of students on what should he developed

in the soon-to-be vacated library.

Trudy Banta, vice chancellor in the Office of Planning and Institutional Improvement, helped develop the content of the poll by meeting with an advisory group consisting of student representatives from the Undergraduate Student Assembly (USA), the Student House of Organizations, fact

The collaboration between Banta and members of the advisory group produced the criteria and questions for the survey which was conducted on Feb. 4 - 6 .

Banta said the survey was designed to give students o say in what very committed to making

The results contain suggestions ranging from the improbable, a bowling alley, to the impossible, a movie theater. Survey results tabulated not only what students want in the center, but also if the students woukJ use the facility.

A large ponion of the students surveyed, 4 2 J percent, believe the space should be used to develop a student lounge with vending machines, radios, television sets and couches. Over 39 percent of the students suggesting a lounge said that they would use it.

Food service ureas also ranked highly among the respondents with 35.9 percent suggesting a cafcteriu or restaurant, and 35.4 percent of those calling for a cafeteria indicated they would use such a facility.

activities, said the results of the survey came as no surprise to him.

"I expected those responses, the results reflected the types of things we are planning," he said.

The USA Is planning a session to discuss the survey," Wagoner added.

Survey results also indicated students would spend more time on campus if more student space were developed in the proposed center.

Out of 435 surveyed, 193 said they would use the new student center while. 167 respondents said they would spend more time on campus if new space were allotted to students.

With the numbers indicating that more students would spend additional time on campus, Bumu believes the student center would help in developing a traditional-type campus community in Indianapolis.

Three campus agencies offer assistance during snowfall

■ Worst winter storm in over three years wreaks havoc across state while emergency workers provide help.

By Darin Crona Tkt Sagamort

Mother Nature dumped a load on Central Indiana lost Thursday afternoon. Area weather reporters said about 7 inches of snow fell in the across the state. Roads were covered with a thick white blanket that made driving a hazardous adventure by evening rush hour.

"1 live about 20 minutes from cam pus" said William Mickler, a junior physics major. "Last Thursday, it took me between 45 minutes and an hour to get home."

When the white stuff began to fall last Thursday afternoon, three campus serv ices swung into action to begin the clean-up.

Friday afternoon, the scraping and shoveling continued.

"Our goal was to make the place safe for people to come and go." said Craig McKinney, assistant director of grounds.

"We couldn't get too serious about it, though, because we weren't sure how much was going to fa ll"

McKinney added.

McKinney spent 26 hours working on the clean-up before taking a three- hour nap at the Ronald McDonald

House. Upon awakening, he went back outside and shoveled the streets with his personal truck. He said he kept in close contact with the Bloomington Campus to keep track of how much snow they were getting.

"When they said (hey had already received from 2 to 4 inches, I knew it was going to be serious." said McKinney.

At that point McKinney coordinated a plan for the clean up.

While he and his crew of 10 began shoveling off the streets and sidewalks. Parking Services, with the help of Sweeney Construction, took on the task of cleaning off approximately 100 acres of parking

"When you consider we try to clear about 50 acres of the parking lots, we did a good job." said John Nolle, director of parking services. 'That w as more than we were equipped to handle."

The snow began falling last Thursday at about 11:30 a.m. By 3 p.m., approximately 4 inches had fallen.

"At that point, we concentrated on keeping some of the paths clear between the parking garages and hospitals to the streets." said McKinney.

At 5 p.m. five of the 10 groundskeepers were sent home. The remaining workers stayed on the job until 11 p.m. All 10 returned six hours later to begin clearing and spreading salt and Ice.

Between last week's storm and this week's storm, grondskeepers worked about 17 hours overtime per week.

The groundskeepers, who are on call 24 hours per day, will continued the cold, wet task Saturday. •

At midnight, the private contractor began assisting with the clean-up.

Most of the parking lots and streets had been scraped at least once by

UEC uses alternative counseling

■ T h e largest school at IUPUI counsels its students over phone.

By Charae Jacobs Tkt Segamtrt

Getting in to see counselor* in the Undergraduate Education Center (UEC) can be a frustrating experience, but it doesn't have to he.

The UEC serves more than 7,000 students this semester, nearly 40 percent of the total undergraduate enrollment. It also works with about 2.000 applicants to the university.

Currently, the student-io-counselor ratio is a HOO-tcv1. To offset this lack of resources, the UEC has a>mc up with ways to better accommodate the needs of its students, said Judith Lovejoy. coordinator of counselors in the Undergraduate Education Center.

Students who have questions that don't require a lot of lime can be counseled over the phone. Voice and electronic mail and fax machines can also help students stay in touch with counselors, so they can get help when they need it.

"We try to give students as much written information as possible." said

"But a majority of people are able to cope with them. People without coping thoughts - thoughts that build up self-esteem - continue to be anxious and get more upset and more down on themselves," he said.

In the program, students focus on their thoughts. By doing this students can separate the truth from exaggeration, the rational from the irrational and the useful from the self-defeating. Coping skills are then taught to students so they can counter irrational thoughts when they appear.

Four suggestions by CAPS on coping strategies may help students do better on a test They

ty Lisa 8n v$i 7lr S*m*rv

Twenty students gathered in the lounge of Ball Residence last Monday to take pan in the second annual Black History Quiz Bowl.

The students, who were divided into two teams, competed against each other by answering questions from diverse categories such os politics, education, arts and sports.

The program was initiated lost year to get students together, said Gary Peters, a senior English major and o resident adviser at the dorm.

und learn more about famous African-Americans who have made great contributions to American society," sold Peters.

Questions were asked about famous African- Americans, such as Richard Gordon Huicher, the first African-American mayor of a major city, and Whoopi Goldberg, the most recent black female to win an Oscar.

Many of the students involved with tlie event were second time participants.

‘The quiz bowl gave me a chance to have fun with other participants, and at the same time team more about people who paved the wuy for African- Americans today," said Monica Strong, a junior in the School of Business.

All the participants in the quiz bowl could he considered winners said Peters..

"By participating, students gained knowledge of African-American accomplishments from the post as well as the present," he said.

The Department o f Residence Life plans to

sponsor the quiz bowl again next year during Block History Month Peters hopes the event will be as much a success as this years, and that more students get involved in it.

‘The students seem to enjoy participating in the Block History Quiz B o w lh e said.

"I hope next year more people will be ubie to participate in our competition," he added.

Peters stressed that students should not he put off by the fact that the event is a competition between students. The quiz howl is more of a student gathering than a test of an individual's intelligence about Nock history.

"Participants already knew a lot of the answers to the questions they were asked during the competition," Peters said.

The Department of Residence Life organized other events in coordination with Black History Month, including an African American movie night at Boll Residence und a discussion at International House dedicated to Block History Month.

Feminist legal scholar Catharine MacKinnon has joined an international effort to help get justice for tens of thousands of women allegedly raped during

"ethnic cleansing'* operations in the former Yugoslavia.

The University of Michigan law professor said she may even use U.S. courts on hchalf of Croatian and Muslim women raped by Serbian soldiers.

“My priorities are immediate rape relief, which we are working to get for women over there, and assessing their chances for legal proceedings,** she told the women’s magazine **011 Our Backs*' for its February issue.

MacKinnon was gone from Ann Arbor

■ University of Michigan law professor will use the U.S. courts, if necessary, to get justice for the women being raped in Yugoslavia.

for (he university's winter break, according to a law school secretary and a recording on MacKinnon's home answering machine last week.

Equality Now. an international human rights network, has been working with MacKinnon and others on the effort to aid Balkan rape survivors and bring those responsible to justice, said Director Jessica Neuwirth.

“CXjt main focus is making it clear that mass rape and forced pregnancy are used as a tool by Serbian soldiers as a part o f ethnic cleansing.** Neuwirth said Wednesday from New York.

MacKinnon, author of "Feminism Unmodified*' and ’Toward a Feminist Theory

of the State," is best known for proposing that sexual assault victims he allowed to take pornography producers and sellers to court.

She first became involved in the issue of mass rape in the former Yugosbvia about a year ago, but only recently was asked to Her legal work on behalf of Kareta.

Women's Help Now, and Mothers for Peace is unpaid.

"In this case, this is a war against women in particular, and those human rights atrocities have got to he dealt with whoever wins (the civil war) and now." she told the Washington, D.C 'based magazine.

The United Nations Security Council moved

Monday to create an international war erfmei tribunal to punish those responsible for mass killings, torture and rape in former Yugoslavia.

In a report to the U.N. Human Rights Commission on Feb. 12, four doctors from the United Slates. Britain and Turkey said they found conclusive evidence that thousands of women and children were raped, often repeatedly, during wars in the former Yugoslavia.

A European Community report last month estimated that some 20.000 Muslim women may have been raped since the fighting in Most of the rapes the U.N. team documented were by Serb soldiers against Bosnian Muslim women. But it said Croat women were also raped by Serbs, and Muslim and Croat soldiers also raped Serb women.

MacKinnon said several legal approaches are

working i international bw . bringing individual coves in local courts and possibly using the U S. justice system.

"U S . courts might in some way be made available to the women over there _ and that is not as out of the question as it might seem,"

she told the magazine. She didn't elaborate.

Natalie Nenodic, a University of Michigan Law School student and Croatian*American, has been working with rape survivors in Croatia since last fall on MacKinnon's behalf.

Neuwirth said moss rape is pari , of a deliberate policy designed to expel p p r ^ S ^ s from their homes. And she said witnesses in areas controlled by Serb forces.

Her group is calling for prosecution of the top leader of Bosnia's Serbs, Radovan Karud zik, on rape and murder charges.

Corporate recruiters interview students seeking job opportunities

■ Indiana Convention Center hosts Annual College Talent Day.

By Ed Groves TWf

Last Wednesday college students from around the state traded jeans and backpacks for blue suits and briefcases as they met with prospective employers at the IIth annual College Talent Interview Day at the Indiana Convention Center.

Sixty-five companies representing banking, insurance, computer and other industries interviewed approximately 500 students, including nearly 100 from IUPUI.

Susan Hancock, an IUPUI senior majoring in organizational communication und psychology, may have landed a job during the event.

Riley refuses to release baby

By Tony Knodoror Cntriktingto The Sagam* t

A baby, who was ready for release from the Riley Hospital for Children Feb. 11. was left in the hospital’s care when hospital employees suspected the child’s grandmother was Lt. Diane Sweeney of the Indiana University Police Department investigated the incident.

‘T h e grandmother had an odor commonly associated with alcohol, and bloodshot eyes," said Sweeney.

Also of concern to the hospital was the fact that the vehicle used to transport the child was unsafe.

"The first problem was that she had no car seat for him " Sweeney said.

"Plus, the car was already filled with people, so there was no safe way to

transport the child.’’

Sweeney added that the conversation with the grandmother was not confrontational. All parties involved agreed that the child should remain at the hospital.

Charges were not filed against any o f the parties.

’T h e issue bothering the hospital was about the danger* that could have come about (releasing the child to (he grandmother),’’ said Sweeney. "When the child stayed, the law* were never violated."

The incident was reported to the Child Protection Senice of the grandmother’s home county.

In another incident:

On Feb. 15.

the vandalism of an inflatable female doll in an office in Cavanaugh Hall.

The damage, which caused the doll's head to be partially lorn from its body, occurred sometime between Feb. 12 and Feb. 15. according to the lUPD’s weekly crime report. The office door was kicked, and no signs of forced entry were noticed.

THE BUDGET

■ The University faces serious budget shortfalls due to Governor Bayh’snarrow view o f economic progress.

A

lthough the effects o f the recession are not yet over, and state revenues are extrem ely limited, funding higher education must be met with eagerness and the desire to preserve a solid foundation o f learning, teaching and research.

It has yet to be seen, however, whether the Indiana General Assembly is prepared to take the stringent steps necessary to ensure this quality.

The latest dealings with the III budget proposal make it look as if, once again, the Assembly and the B ayh adm inistration are putting it on the back burner.

The Indiana State Budget Agency recom m ended that the proposed Indiana University budget for the next biennium be cut by $11.5 million.

If this should happen the university will face serious problems, said IU President Thom as Ehrlich in his address to the General Assem bly W ays and M eans Comm ittee Feb. 16.

“First, and m ost important, we seek support for ou r basic needs:

inflation funding is ou r highest priority along with enrollm ent change support and other operating-base adjustments.

“I cannot underscore too strongly the importance o f m eeting

| the costs o f inflation - co $ u /o r which no state funds w ere responsible for the current biennium (1991-93)," he said.

IU requested a budget increase

o f 32 percent during the next biennium to catch up w ith inflation and enrollment growth.

Serving 96,000 students on eight cam puses, IU is the largest college in the stale.

Not only does IU provide a foundation o f support for the econom y, it provides jobs as well.

IUPUI is the fourth largest em ployer in Indianapolis. W ithout the needed funding, faculty and staff positions will be cut.

The IU system is already looking at cost-cutting measures.

Some o f the measures being implem ented include the reduction o f library hours and work study positions, reduction o f student service office staffs, reduction o f central administration staff by more than 70 positions and leaving vacant 41 faculty and s taff positions in the IU Medical Center.

Funding for public higher education is at risk not only because o f the lack o f funds available, but because it is not yet viewed as a priority on the agenda o f many in key positions, including the Bayh administration.

Dear Mr. Governor, Indiana U niversity is doing its part by sighting and im plem enting cost-cutting m easures. It is your turn to place higher education at the forefront

If n o t colleges and universities in Indiana are destined for the second-class status previously reserved for its sccondaryjchools.

Intertwined histories

■ ’There are too many white Americans for whom black history, and Black History Month, are regarded in the same light as Martin Luther King’s birthday - a black thing. ”

ne o f the most comprehensive public relations campaigns undertaken by a group of people was the establishment of Black History Month by African-Americans. Every February. Americans across the nation pay tribute to block history. Carter G.

Woodson, who is known as the father of black history, launched Negro History Week on Feb. 7. 1926. For 50 years. Negro History Week was celebrated annually. Then in 1976, during the notion's Bicentennial, the commemoration was expanded to a month to allow more time for programs and celebrations, and it was named Afro-American History Month to reflect the growing African awareness among block Americans.

It is important that we understand the historical climate that led to me establishment of Negro History Week. Up until that lime, ’“black history” was synonymous with slavery, the underlying implication being that blocks had since made no significant contributions. Truth is, slavery and freedom have been the central points of reference in America’s history, with the common perception that the history of black Americans begins with slavery and the prevalent view that blacks contributed little to American or world civilization.

This, of course, ignores the fact that rich civilizations flourished in Africa while Europe was still in its infancy; that there were block explorer*, conqueror*, inventors, mathematicians and scientists before, during and after slavery. From blocks came America’s first clock, in 1754 by astronomer Benjamin Banneker, the world’s first blood plasma, from Dr. Charles Drew; the world’s first successful

heart surgery, performed by Daniel Hale Williams, a Chicago surgeon, and num erous other accom plishm ents and achievements.

In these perilous times, when color and culture are sharply clashing, it is important that white Americans know black Americans, and equally important that black Americans know white Americans. But there is little inclination to do so. There are too many white Americans for whom block history, and Black History Month, are regarded in the same light as Marlin Luther King’s birthday - ”a black thing.”

But black history does include w hite Americans. Our historic*

are intertwined by the blood of slavery and the quest for freedom. Black Americans already know the accomplishments and achievements of white Americans. It is in the fabric of the standard history of America. It is no wonder our black children are caught in the throes of despair - they don’t know who they are. Black H istory M onth com m unicates the am azing accomplishments of their people, and lends them the strength a n d . courage to dream. What troubles me most is the fact that few whites know the history of black people, which is a mistake. Knowing the history and accomplishments of a people is an important step toward resolving the issue of race. I’m not purporting a view that suggests the learning of black history by white Americans would bring a quick and decisive end to racism, but it is a critical pillar in the building of o bridge between the two Americas: a bridge of knowledge and respect that spans the gulf o f ignorance and disdain.

■ Reader disturbed by writer’s priorities, believes the most needed changes have more to do with personal attitudes.

This is in response to a column in the last issue concerning forsaking Reaganomics for Clintonomic* (This is change?). While I do not agree with some o f Clinton’s priorities, even more disturbing arc the author’s priorities.

When writing about why tax increases don't work, he mode comments like,

’’Find you raise taxes. This takes hard earned money away und gives it to government ofTicals to fund perverse painters, subsidize illegitimate children and care for elderly people to get chemotherapy because they smoked cigarettes for Fifty years .” What makes matters worse is that this attitude is reflective o f others in the population.

W h it^ people talk about the poor and the elderly as if they were less than human, how many people speak up for them? Has unyone thought to take the time to find out what their worries are?

Or do people like the author think they don't deserve to have their opinions heard? It is easy to say what someone ought to do when you are on the outside looking in. This seems to be a major problem of politicians.

I am not saying that people should not become self-sufficient if they can. But it is an error to say that oil illegitimate children have mothers who are on welfare, or are poor. It is also in error to assume that all those on welfare want to be. and will stay on it for the rest of

their lives. There are some who are content to stay on welfare, but there are also those who are in college o r in a training program.

Some can’t work because o f illness, and still others aren’t aware of the resources available to them. The programs that aid in independence need to be stressed more.

As for the elderly, how many year* have they spent taking care of us and contributing to society? Now, when they , are old, they ore treated like a drain on society. What is to say something couldn’t happen to make those so worried about money take a second thought? Life is not as stable as it seems. There needs to be a change, but it should siurt with people’s

■ Mother defends IUPUI Childcare Center, believes rewards exceed sacrifice.

I am writing this letter in response lo the article you published Feb. I. After reading the article over a few times I am still unclear os to what points were being made.

Are you questioning the university’s choice in quality childcare? Do you feel that students are being treated unfairly with the program that is being offered by the university? Do you feel that the center

deliberately excludes students with an inflexible program and fees?

I am one of many staff/student/parent persons at IUPUI. I work full time in a clerical position. I do not make a lot of money. I also go to school part-time. I do want quality childcare for my two children with a facility that not only teaches hut also nurtures and loves my little ones. IUPUI provides that environment. No, it is not free; it is not cheap. Quality childcare is rare hut it does exist if you are willing lo pay for it. I know it is not easy to let go of all that money, but the rewards far exceed the monetary amount you spend. My husband and I pay $165 a week so that our children can get the environment we would give them if we were able to stay home with them. Our children are fed a nutritious breakfast and lunch and have two snacks a day. They look forward to going to school and love to learn. They love their teacher*

and are developing friendships that I expect to continue past the pre-school years. My husband and I ore invited and encouraged to drop in any time unannounced and watch over the classes. Can you really put a price tag on all that?

IUPUI Childcare Center does mu meet the needs o f every parent on campus, hut they do fulfill the goal that has been set by needy parents every where. They love our children like their own. It would be wonderful to have an inexpensive childcare center that adhered to all the needs of everyone, but then what would be sacrificed? I know the center does not provide a program to exclude a certain group (students). They simply provide the

i they can with the staff uni facility ut their means. If you have a bci idea, please share it with the rest of us!

■ Student disagrees with columnist’s gun control view,

I read with great dismay Amy May’s piece published in the Feb. 15 issue of The Sagamore. I would like to point out her obvious errors. Amy states that ”Wc d on’t let anyone drive a car - you have to be tested, sober and sane.” One would draw the conclusion then that Amy is saying anyone can simply walk in and purchase a handgun. Those who are fully licensed firearm carrier* know this statement is wrong, since obtaining a gun permit is quite a bit more involved than getting a driver's license, requiring fingerprinting and background checks. Amy slates that the media should stop condoning and glorifying gun ownership. Huh? If it was not for gun ownership of the public, you would not be able to write your column.

Have you ever heard the phrase "liberal media’"? This means that the press is extremely left wing, which in turn means the press does everything it can to supress gun ownership rights, 1 give you an example o f our own Sagamore, in which in an October 7, 1991 article reporting crime statistics, shows a handgun pasted across

the figures, implying guns were the cause of all crimes, when in fact handguns accounted for hardly any o f the crimes!

Finally. Amy slates that ” 1 have yet to hear a report where it actually benefited someone lo have a handgun in the house.”

Tell that statement to the people in Washington D.C., who. alter banning handguns ir. 1976. have seen an increase in the homicide rate by 189 percent! Tell that statement to Tom Fletcher, a 76-year-old Juliette, Ga. man who, seeing a man hiding in his yard, picked up his pistol anil captured the man. The man turned out to he wanted for a throat-slashing murder of a woman during a burglary and the stabbing of a motorist. Tell that statement to a lone Palmdale. Calif, store clerk, who. when feeling uneasy about her only customer, put herself in easy reach o f the revolver she keeps in the store for protariion. When the man exposed himself and threatened to rape her. the clerk responded by firing a single shot from her .357 Magnum, convincing the criminal to llec. Can you tell this woman she does not know how to use a gun to protect herself? It is a sod day indeed when one of Indiana’s own falls in the line o f duly. However, it is pathetic when our court system continually allows habitual offenders to roam the streets! 1 will clitse with this thought by Benjamin Franklin.’Those who give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

■ IUFUI Metros must play NCAA Div.n teams at least half the time.

By Rex B asey Gmtnkrtuf to Tkt Safamorr

The move from NAIA to NCAA Div. II is o giant step for IUPUI athletics. It’s also the first step toward the goal of joining NCAA Div. I.

Recruiting, attendance and increased public visibility are some of the things the move may bring to IUPUI athletics.

"I expected to have some problems and l*m sure there will be more down the rood. We ore the new kid on the block,** said Bob Lovell head coach of men's bosket ball.

“Scheduling would be a whole lot easier if we were affiliated with a conference.** added Lovell.

Because IUPUI is not in a conference, it must schedule all of its own games.

The Metros currently have five Div.

II teams on their schedule, but next year there will be 15 Div. II teams playing the Metros.

This will fulfill lUPUTs scheduling requirement to the NCAA.

Johnson said he could not express what the senior* had done for the program th b year, attributing leadership and a growth in team maturity to them.

“We could not have had a season like this, with all the youth that we have, if it had not been for our upperclassmen.** he said.

The Metros had four freshman players thb year, and Johnson said he will be looking to use their experience and maturity to continue to develop the program next year.

Three of the freshman .started in almost all of the Metros games - Josk Bowman started 29, Kathryn Murphy started 28 and Melissa Hen started 24.

Bowman was also named to the all­

district team of the year.

The fourth freshman. Misty Norris, made just two starts due to knee injuries.

Johnson's main regret was that more people don't come out to watch the team play.

"If they could see us play they would get a different impression of women's basketball,” he added.

The win over Urhana advanced the women to the semi finals, where they kwl 53-93. against the No. 2 team in the district. Central Stole University of Wilbcrforce. Ohk>.

Johnson said they lost for several reasons, however the main factor was the lack of time the Metros had to prepare for the game.

The loss put the Metros at 11-18 for the 92-93 season, an improvement over the 6-20 record from Iasi year.

"They had a much improved year, coasidering they doubled their wias, and started three freshmen in most of the games** said Greg Taylor, sports

For the season overall. Johnson said he was not happy with their record or how he prepared his player*. However he had much to say for the effort of hb players.

Murphy was named to the all-district team of the year and earned an honorable mention for the All-
