Women  fall  victim  in  hip-hop  portrayals 


By  Zach  Hunsinger 

Regardless  ol  where  one  grew  up 
or  currently  lives,  regardless  of  wlml 
music  one  listens  to  or  the  TV  shows 
one  watches,  regardless  of  skin  color 
or  social  class,  everyone  is  immersed 
in  a  society  that  is  flooded  with  hip- 
hop.  Hip-hop  is  everywhere  It  lives 
on  the  radio,  mi  television,  in  maga- 

lisements.  in  the  Internet,  and  even 
on  chat  engines.  Ignoring  the  influ- 
ence of  hip-hop  is  impossible.  Un- 
loiiiui.uely,  the  influence  is  far  from 
positive. 

Linda  Wade,  an  IPFW  student  and 
CEO  of  Nature  Nurture  Urban  Con- 
sultants, presented  the  .seminar  titled 
The  Negative  Images  of  Women 
Portrayed  in  Hip-Hop  Music."  Wade

and  lyrical!}  market  dc 
pieciablc  goods.  She 
also  explained  how 
families     are     falling 


but  arc  obviously  not." 
Smiley  added. 

Smiley  discussed  how 
he  saw  videos  as  a  child 
that   showed   disrespect 


audience  in  the  Walb  Studeni  Union, 
which  was  also  broadcast  over  the 
IPFW  TV  channel.  The  seminar 
discussed  the  negative  dominance 
of  rap,  the  socialization  of  tea  of  rap 
and  how  the  average  person  can  tight 

Wade  initiated  the  presentation  by 
playing  a  platinum  song  tilled  "Hyp- 
notize." The  song  features  several 
explicit  sexual  references  along  with 
several  explicit  advertisements;  all 
references  were  sung  to  a  captivat- 
ing beat.  She  further  explained  thai 
we  live  in  an  "environment  saturated 
with  sexual  content."  Her  explana- 
tion included  descriptions  of  how 
sexual  content  within  rap  can  syslem- 


His  poems  eoniesieil  the  creative   rhymes."     By  field  asserted 

image  depicted  by  most  rap  songs,  that  not  all  hip-hop  is  inappropriate. 

He  advocated  educating  others  about  She  continued  to  say  that  one  can  not 

misconceptions.  blame  rap  for  society's  problems;  rap 

"Women  are  portrayed  as  weak,  is  only  a  reflection  of  our  society. 


Yet.  one  can  not  ileny  the  impact  hip- 
hop  has.  Music  videos  will  display 
saintly  dressed  women  next  to  fully 
clothed  men.  The  videos  Ore  set  in 
expensive  mansions.  Most  videos 
feature  scenes  alluding  to  women 
servicing  men  Commenting  about 
llie  Uiaractors  in  ihe  videos.  Hylield 
stated  that  they  are  "living  a  life  thai 
is  not  real"  and  Ihe  audience  misses 
that  point. 

Bylield  then  explained  how  hip- 
hop  helps  to  instill  self-hatred  within 
young  girls.  The  girls  are  socialized 
into  believing  what  they  hear.  After 
years  of  being  devalued  through  mu- 
sic and  videos,  the  girls  are  forced 
to  accept  the  poor  illustrations.  In 
summer  camps  in  which  Hylield  vol- 
unteers. 10  and  1 1-year-old  girls  are 
asking  alarming  questions.  She  de- 
scribed one  1 1 -year-old  girl  asking 
if  she  performed  oral  sex  would  she 
still  be  a  virgin.  Another  asked  if  us- 
ing adult  toys  lor  pleasure  would  end 
her  virginity, 

Other  girls  cannot  accurately  de- 
scribe their  personality  or  body.  Kind 
words  disappear  from  girls'  vocabu- 
lary when  talking  about  themselves. 

"We  are  living  in  a  crisis,"  Bylield 
claimed.  "While  not  all  hip-hop  is 
doing  this,  it  does  help  us  gel  to  the 
crisis."  To  combat  this  problem  she 
again  explained  the  importance  of 
educating  ourselves.  Also,  she  advo- 
cated seeking  Jesus  Christ  and  find- 
ing strength  within  ourselves,

The  college  years  for  each  stu

Hard  sheets  of  cold  rain  fell  on 
March  28.  but  the  beckoning  warmth 
of  IPFWs  Walb  Student  Union 
prompted  many  people  lo  come  in- 
side and  learn  about  their  health. 

The  1 8th  Annual  IPFW  Health  Fair 
included  over  100  exhibits  [bat  of- 
fered sludents  and  ihe  community 
free  fitness  demonstrations,  food, 
gills,    health   education   and   health 

Located  in  the  ballroom  and  on  ihe 
second  door,  hourly  fitness  demon- 
strations included  yoga,  de-stressing, 
core  stability,  belly  dancing  and  Pi- 

Thc  12:30  p.m.  belly  dancing  dem- 
onstration, led  by  A/usena  bint  Zwce- 
na,  a  principal  dancer  with  Troupe 
Talecha,  showed  sludents  how  lo  re- 
lieve stress  through  movement.  Her 
belly  dancing  class  is  offered  through 
Ihe  IPFW  Division  of  Continuing 
Studies  from  July  30  -  Aug  29  on 
Monday  and  Tuesday  evenings  from 
5:30  -  6:45  p.m.  for  a  cost  of  $65. 

"Join!"  said  Zweena.  "Belly  danc- 
ing offers  flexibility,  slrength  and  con- 
fidence, which  can  be  lacking  in  stu- 
dents on  campus."  She  also  advised 
to  join,  because  dance  solves  a  big 
problem  for  many  students  —  finding 
time  for  oneself.  For  more  informa- 
tion on  belly  dancing,  contact  Zweena 
at  j/usen.ibinl/ ween.ifn.-yahoO.com.

sion  was  conducted  after  By- 
field's  tulk.  During  this  session 
Ihc  three  speakers  addressed 
Ihc  gimmicks  of  ihe  music 
induslry.  Markcling  ploys  of 
mentioning  alcohol  and  co- 
logne in  songs.  lead  to  a  rise 
in  sales.  However,  the  goods 
marketed  in  rap  songs  arc  de- 
preciable. These  items  lower 
in  value  as  they  age.  The  cor- 
porations who  own  the  music 
artists  have  large  profits  and 
then  use  ihe  profits  to  invest 
in  appreciable  items,  With 
more  profit  the  corporations 
can  advertise  more  depre- 
ciable goods,  continuing  the 
cycle.  Wade  said,  "music  is  a 
gimmick,  an  entry  level,  that 
reaches  Ihe  mainstream." 

The  three  speakers  agreed 
education  and  confrontation 
arc  ihc  best  tools  for  combat- 
ing this  threat.  This  can  be 
done  through  one-on-one  re- 
lationships. Wade  described 
most  people  as  unaware  of  the 
situation.  Parents  may  not  un- 


derstand the  lyrics  or  the  innu- 
endos.  Radio  stations  may  not 
completely  censor  a  swear  or  a 
sexual  reference. 

Smiley  said  the  dynamics 
of  rap  music  are  too  complex 
to  be  fought  in  any  one  way. 
One  main  problem  is  societal 
greed.  People  want  to  make 
money,  and  the  bottom  line 
is  sex  sells.  Unfortunately. 
women  arc  depicted  inac- 
curately, inappropriately  and 
consequently  devalued.  When 
devaluation  reaches  a  certain 
level,  violence  against  wom- 
en is  tolerated.  Eventually 
women  arc  essentially  turned 
into  sex  toys.    Society  needs 

itself;  otherwise  it  is  going  to 

Nature  Nurture,  the  urban 
consultant  program  directed 
by  Wade,  seeks  to  correct  this 
societal  problem.  The  pro- 
gram studies  the  impacts  rap 
has  on  people.  Pom  is  already 
a  big  industry;  rap  simply  uses 
Ihc  same  methods.  As  a  result, 


Communicator  flooded  with  awards 


sexual  predators  arc  often  glo- 

Young  girls  are  socialized 
into  believing  what  they  see 
and  hear.  What  they  arc  see- 
ing and  hearing  is  describing 
women  as  worthless,  weak  and 
only  important  when  almosl 
naked.  There  is  a  direct  re- 
sult on  girls'  body  images  and 
what  is  depicted  in  music  vid- 
eos. Wade  mentions  lhal  the 
FCC  is  doing  its  best  at  keep- 
ing negative  songs  and  videos 
off  the  mainstream  air,  but  il 
is  not  completely  successful. 
Editing  songs  is  difficult  and 
as  Smiley  mentioned,  children 
can  find  ways  around  parental 
filters.  Also,  some  parents  jusl 
are  unaware.  Nature  Nurture 
is  making  "a  plea  out  to  con- 
scious people"  to  speak  against 
these  problems. 

The  problem  is  the  cumu- 
lative effect  of  radio  being  ir- 
responsible, unaware  parents 
and  citizens  and  corporate 
marketing  ploys.  ^

BCC  announces  winners 


Richard  Wanjcma  and  Sherri 
Emerson  shared  the  glory  of 
producing  a  winning  design  for 
Ihe  campus  organization,  and 
by  shifting  the  BCC's  identi- 
fier from  a  logo  to  a  symbol, 
the  Caucus  believes  that  ihere 
will  be  more  of  a  resounding 
impression  left  i

symbol  is  tenlatively  sel  for

clude Ihc  BCC  initials  and  the 
Baobab  tree,  which  is  native 
lo  Africa.  Some  of  these  trees 
have  been  carbon-dated  to 
about  2,000  years  of  age,  and 
grow  to  be  large  enough 


for  i

"We   wanlcd   something 

stronger,  something  that  would 
represcnl  the  strength  and  cul- 
ture of  African- Americans  and 
have  longevity,"  said  Sherri 
Emerson,    President    of    the 


homes  for  a  dozen  people.  The 
trees  provide  sustenance,  shel- 
ter and  renewable  resources. 

The  design  for  the  BCC  may 
be  succinctly  designed  and 
appear  bare  to  the  average 
passerby,  but  il  is  packed  with 
symbolism.  In  addition  to  the 
Ircc,  the  design  will  contain 
Ihc  gold  letters  "BCC,"  sym- 
bolizing the   richness  of  the 


African  continent;  red  for  the 
blood  shed  in  the  zeniih  of  the 
slave  trade;  and  green  for  Ihe 
lush  hind  that  remains. 

"The  Baobab  tree  and  our 
symbol  stands  for  what  society 
is  supposed  lo  be  about,  which 

together  as  a  community."  said 
attendee  Scott  Smiley. 

Coinciding  with  the  official 
unveiling  of  the  new  BCC 
symbol,  there  will  also  be  a 
conference  April  28  that  will 
delve  into  contemporary  issues 
facing  the  African-American 
community  today.  The  confer- 
ence is  open  lo  Ihe  entire  Fort 
Wayne  community.

lem of  sleep  deficiency  for 
sludcnls  and  alhletes,  and  how 
magnetic  sleep  systems  can 
help  students  overcome  time 
obstacles.  "Magnetic  sleep 
systems  help  people  sleep  bet-

How  to  successfully  break  up  a  band 


By  Mike  Webb 

Arts  and   Entertainment 

Editor 


Anyone  who  has  played  in  a  band 
for  an  extended  period  of  time  knows 
that  there  are  conflicts  that  can  and 
more  than  likely  will  arise. 

When  putting  together  music 
with  other  people,  as  much  as  the 
musical  purists  would  like  (o  have 
us  believe  that  it  should  always  How 
naturally  from  our  souls,  the  reality 
of  the  situation  is  that  you  are  putting 
together  a  product  for  others,  and  the 
end  result  reflects  upon  you  as  much 
as  anyone  else  involved  in  the  cre- 
ative process. 

When  reputations  are  on  the  line, 
sometimes  visions  don't  match  and 
conflicts  arise.  I  believe  that  this  is 
why  we  hear  so  many  hands  compare 
their  dynamics  to  that  of  a  romantic 
relationship.  What  is  a  romantic  re- 
lationship without  compromise''  !t  is 

I  am  learning  more  and  more  that 
compromise  in  relationships  must  be 
done  out  of  love.  Grudges  cannot  be 
held  .igainst  one  another  when  one 
doesn't  get  his  or  her  way,  they  arc 
simply  unhealthy  and  leads  to  resent- 
As  someone  who  has  played  in 
a  band  that  featured  somewhat  of  a 
dictator  as  a  front  man,  I  can  tell  you 
that  the  same  principles  apply  to  that 
relationship,  100. 

The  truth  of  the  matter  is  that  I 


was  unhappy  in  my  band  because  I  (old  me  that  seltishness  is  the  root  of

and  at  the  time  I  had  been  playing  lor  this  statement  more  everyday. 
about  eight  years.  I  was  not  setting 
the  world  on  lire  with  my  musical 
ability,  but  had  I  wanted  to  try,  yet 
my  bandleader  would  not  allow  me 


odosi 

I  do  not  want  to  sound  like  I  am 
unwilling  to  compromise  myself.  I 
tried  my  best  to  understand  his  posi- 
tion .md  the  sound  he  was  trying  to 
achieve.  I  tried  my  best  to  attain  the 
desired  results,  but  I  was  a  square 
peg  in  a  round  hole. 

It  might  have  been  okay  if 
the  fact 


Morgan  Rose,  the  drummer  for  Se- 
vendust.  Rose  said  that  Sevendusi 
formed  out  of  their  love  for  one  an- 
other. When  Rose  thought  of  whom 
he  fell  he  could  function  eomlori.ihly 
wiili  while  working,  he  chose  his  best 
friends.  They  grew  togethe

Though   guitarist  Clint  Lowery 
has  since  stepped  down,  hts  replace- 
ment came  in  the  form  of  another

Like  any  other 
relationship,  there 
are  ups  and  downs.

on  his  pan,  resentment  was  bom  on 
my  part  and  I  stepped  down.

Why  can't  servers  be  more  like  me?

After    waiting    for      politeness,  nothing    \!>  I'nend  obvi- 


deserved  it.  I  have  worked  in  a  few 
restaurants  along  (he  way  and  I  never 
would  have  done  that. 

Maybe  it's  because  of  common 
sense  ihat  some  people  are  good  in 
retail  and  service  industries  and  oth- 
ers should  be  forced  to  work  with 
animals.  Then  they  have  to'be  nice 
or  they'll  get  mauled  by  say  ...  a  po- 
lar bear.  That's  just  me  thinking;  I 
wouldn't  wish  those  people  harm  at 
the  claw  of  any  animal. 

1  think  there  should  be  some  sort 
of  hiring  standards,  especially  when 
it  comes  lo  teenagers.  Give  them  a 
test  involving  stress  management 
and  customer  satisfaelion.  If  they 
don't  pass,  they  don'l  gel  the  job  and 
they  have  to  look  for  another  one.  I 
also  feel  that  if  they  DO  pass  said 
test,  they  must  periodically  lake  tesls 
lo  keep  them  on  their  toes  and  make 
sure  they  are  still  giving  quality  ser- 

[  know  thai  some  companies  par- 
lake  in  Ihe  secret  shopper  and  mystery 
shopper  programs  and  1  think  these 
are  groat,  for  one.  these  -hopper*,  arc 
every  where  and  nowhere.  You  never 
know  what  they  look  like,  or  when 
(hey  come  in.  or  what  they're  going 
(o  be  asking  about.  Second  the  store 
then  gels  a  report  back  on  how  well 
all  of  ihe  employees  did.  Where  do  I 
sign  up  for  thai  job'.'  That  would  be 
.m  awesome  job.  All  I  have  to  do  is 
shop  and  take  noies  on  who  helped 
and  who  should  be  unemployed" 
1  think  that  may  just  be  one  of  my 
dream  jobs. 

Nol  only  do  these  companies  grade 
on  how  good  sen  ice  and  selection  is, 
but  (hey  also  test  how  well  the  em- 


ployees keep  an  eye  on  product  as 
some  are  tesling  shoplifting  capabili- 
ties. I  think  this  is  amazing.  Not  only 
does  it  show  who  can  catch  a  thief, 
but  it  goes  lo  show  how  many  people 
a  shoplifter  has  to  gel  by  without 
anyone  noticing.  1  do  have  one  prob- 
lem with  that.  Considering  the  rate  of 
turnover  at  most  retail  and  service  in- 
dustry jobs,  how  can  managers  prop- 
erly train  all  their  employees  on  what 
tn  look  for'.'  1  know  ii  seems  dumb, 
but,  believe  it  or  not,  there-are  ever- 
cliangiug  trends  in  shoplifting  and 
some  people  |u-t  don'l  know  what  lo 
look  for. 

Therefore.  I  think  that  teenag- 
ers should  have  to  wail  longer  before 
having  a  job.  say  18,  and  be  at  least 
somewhat  compelenl  at  life  before 
they  take  on  a  job  involving  the  pub- 
lic. Standards  should  be  enforced 
upon  them  and  all  other  employees 
all  the  time  so  as  to  continue  lo  weed 
out  unsuccessful  people.  They  can 
even  do  it  Trump-style  if  they  wish. 
Servers  in  restaurants  should 

complete  idiot  when  it  comes  lo  cus- 
tomers and  service.  Nol  only  would 
it  probably  raise  their  sales  and  the 
money  they  made  for  the  day,  but 
it  would  give  the  customer  the  feel- 
ing (lull  they  were  not  ignored,  and 
I  bet  ihey  would  go  back.  Now  with 
that  said,  I  say  lo  the  crappy  service 
industry  idiots,  "Quilc  frankly  my

ly  labeled  Rockstar. 

If  you  thought  drinking  an  energy 
drink  was  already  a  bad  idea  then 
lucky  for  you  Rockstar  has  found  a 
way  to  make  breakfast  seem  a  little 
more  exciting.  Rockstar  Juiced  is  ihe 
energy  drink  of  Ihe  week,  and  like 
Sieve  Seagal's  Lightning  Boll,  this 
drink  conies  in  two  flavors:  Guava 
and  Orange. 

Bolh  flavors  are  remarkably  deli- 
cious and  not  misleading.  Guava  ac- 
tually tasles  like  guava,  and  orange 
tastes,  yes,  like  orange. 

I  Ik  ...ins  look  like  beveled  metal: 
the  guava  can  has  a  light  purple  exte- 
rior with  gold,  black  and  while  text, 
while  orange  is  ihe  color  orange 
While  Ihe  drinks  laste  good,  let's 
make  il  clear  that  they  are.  accord- 
ing to  the  can,  "Not  recommended 
for  children,  pregnant  women,  nurs- 
ing women,  or  those  sensitive  to  caf- 
feine." Sounds  like  a  real  ruck  slur! 

Another  cool  fact  about  ihis  drink 
is  thai  it  conlains  70%  juice  and  100% 
energy.  Never  did  I  think  lhal  some- 
thing could  have  170%  of  anylhing. 
The  number  is  not  really  divisible  hy 
much,  which  means  il  probably  con- 
tains .5%  of  something  we'd  be  more

Kids  Play 
and  Learn 
at  Library 

By  Louisa  Danielson 


Maybe  you  remember  being  a 
little  kid,  walking  out  of  the  library 
with  ,1  stack  of  books  propped  under 
your  chin.  You  lumed  in  a  mountain 
of  books  every  week  -  and  cheeked 
out  another  pile  every  time. 

Well,  the  scene  hasn't  changed 
much.  The  Allen  County  Public  Li- 
brary children's  department  is  still 
full  of  books  -  some  400,000  of  them. 
in  fact,  located  at  the  main  branch. 
Now  that  the  library  has  finished  its 
nuilii-million  dollar  renovation,  all 
these  books  and  more  .ire  available  to 
the  public. 

Librarian  Mary  Voors,  who  has 
worked  at  the  ACPL  for  25  years,  is 
a  pillar  of  the  children's  department. 
"(It's)  the  best  place  to  work,"  she 
said.  Librarians  must  have  a  master's 
degree  in  library  science,  although 
some  librarians  also  have  back- 
grounds in  other  fields,  like  cduca- 

"Our  library  system  is  very,  very, 
very  committed  to  pre -literacy,"  said 
Voors.  The  ACPL  was  one  of  the  first 
libraries  in  the  country  with  a  chil- 
dren's section  1  he  department  origi- 
nally opened  in  1907. 

The  2007  children's  department 
was  designed  through  the  collabora- 
tion of  children's  librarians  from  the 
ACPL  system  and  the  community 
who  were  "(c)ommitled  to  having  a 
very  dynamic  and  active  children's 
department."  said  Voors.  hxamplesot 
their  innovation  include  a  gian 
tank  system  that  has  two  salt 
tanks  and  one  reef  tank;  a  computer 
room;  a  playhouse;  short  shelves  lor 
young  patrons  and  an  early  learning 
center  where  children  and  grow 
interact  in  a  learning-saturated 
ronmenl.  "There  is  no  technology  of 
any  kind  in  there,"'  mentioned  Voors. 
"(only)  face-to-face  interaction  be- 
tween mom  and  dad  and  child." 

The  early  learning  center  is  for 
preschool -aged  children  and  adults. 
Special  areas  in  the  center  include  a 
writing  center,  a  drama  comer  and 
many  reading  nooks  where  chil- 
dren can  read  with  adults.  Children 
are  encouraged  to  explore  narrative 
skills,  letter  knowledge,  print  aware- 
ness, print  motivation,  phonological 
awareness  and  vocabulary.  In  the 
past,  children  have  done  this  by  cre- 
ating alphabets,  telling  stories  and 
showing  interest  in  books.  "Kids 
have  to  have  (a)  phonological  refer- 
ence," said  Voors,  highlighting  pan 
of  the  center's  curriculum.  In  Febru- 
ary alone,  6,218  people  visited  the 
Center.  There  is  no  sign  up  sheet; 
however,  an  adult  must  constantly  be 
present  with  his  or  her  child.

Philharmonic  Presents  Musical  Stories 


By  Louisa  Danielson 


"Viol 


,iD-f 


Every  place 
story  to  tell.  The  Fort  Wayne  Philhar- 
monic demonstrated  this  on  Saturday. 
March  10  at  the  Embassy  Theatre. 

The  first  work  of  the  performance 
was  Michael  Daugherty's  Philadel- 
phia Stones  a  synopsis  of  life  in  the 
big  city.  "Sundown  on  South  Street " 
had  pounding,  tandem  percussion 
hammering  away  from  both  sides  of 

The  punchy,  alive  rhythm  of  the 
music  brought  to  mind  the  back- 
ground   music   of   a    nightly    news 

'Tell-Tale  Harp"  was  played  by 
two  harps  from  the  front  of  the  or- 
chestra. For  such  gentle  instruments, 

the  swooping  arpeggios  they  played 
soared  to  the  very  balcony  of  the  au- 
ditorium in  a  haunting  yet  modern 


"Bells  for  Stokowski"  was  loud. 
If  the  musicians  had  had  orange  vests 
and  hardhais.  the  music  would  have 
been  a  perfect  facsimile  of  a  highway 
repair  scene  with  clanging  metal  and 
loud  discords. 

It  opened  with  chimes  reminis- 
cent of  the  Liberty  Bell.  Then  it  grew 
to  a  tangled  cacophony  that  melted 
into  a  harp  duel  of  Bach's  "C- Major 
Prelude."  also  known  as  the  "Ave 
Maria." 

The  prelude  picked  up  speed. 
raced  from  the  harps  to  the  rest  of  I  he 
orchesira  and  ended  in  a  not  ol  noise 
with  the  enure  orchestra  blasting  the 
auditorium.  Shouts  and  applause  lin- 
ished  this  half  of  the  concert  as  Con- 
ductor Tehiv/hcl  left  the  stage. 

The  second  story  of  the  evening 
was  more  subtle.  Augusim  Hadelich. 
gold  medalist  at  the  2006  Interna- 
tional Violin  Competition  of  India- 
napolis, performed  the  Tchaikovsky 


Italian-born  in  ll>S4  of  German 
parents.  Hadelich  has  been  perform- 
ing on  the  violin  since  he  was  7- 
years-olil.  He  was  nearly  killed  in  a 
lire  at  bis  family's  farm  when  he  was 
15.  However,  following  numerous 
operations  and  months  of  recovery. 
he  once  again  took  the  stage. 

This  evening,  as  Hadelich  per- 
formed on  the  ex-Gingold  Slradivan 
violin.  Hadelich  played  with  die  ease- 
that  only  a  real  master  of  the  instru- 
ment could  manage.  To  put  it  suc- 
cinctly, he  was  good.  The  concerto 
was  originally  declared  "unplayable" 
by  19th  century  violinist  Leopold 
Auerdue  to  the  tremendous  difficulty 
of  the  piece. 

Hadelich  played  the  gigantic 
chords,  double  octaves  and  high  notes 
from  the  lop  of  the  violin  not  only 
with  case  but  with  impeccable  into- 
nation, even  when  his  violin  slipped 
in  its  tuning  mid-performance.

Many  may  know  'Tape"  as  the  acclaimed 
2001  movie  starring  Ethan  Hawke  and  Uma 
Thurman,  but  they  may  not  know  that  it  began 
as  a  play  written  by  Stephen  Belber.

filmmaker,  who  invites  Vince.  his  best  friend

ity by  allowing  his  characters 
to  struggle  through  the  con-

past  relationships.  The  heart 
of  this  play  docs  not  exist  in

The  culture  of  Appalachian  students 


Anyone  with  a  desire  to  look  outside  of 
their  own  cultural  bubble  will  notice  the  amaz- 
ing diversity  lhal  life  has  to  offer. 

Even  those  who  rccot!iu/e  this  diversity  as 
it  pertains  to  individuals  in  different  countries 
often  fail  in  see  the  differences  ihat  are  closer  to 

On  April  9,  the  Department  of  Iinidish  and 
Linguistics  will  give  students  the  opportunity 
to  gain  a  little  more  cultural  insight  when  the 
department  presents  a  lecture  by  Associate  Pro- 
fessor Sara  Webb-Sunderhaus  on  college  stu- 
dents in  the  Appalachian  Mountains. 

Webb-Sunderhaus  is  also  the  director  otitic 
writing  center.  Her  Ph.D.  from  Ohio  Slate  Uni- 
versity, and  one  of  her  specialties  is  in  Appala- 
chian studies  and  folklore. 

A  fascinating  look  nilo  the  lives  of  students 


in  the  Appalachians  is  not  only  for  the  purpose 
ol  education;  it  is  also  lo  promote  the  Depart- 
ment of  English  and  Linguistics  in  a  new  way. 

According  to  John  Merh.ir.  president  o!  the 
English  and  Linguistics  Organization,  "English 
is  more  than  just  reading  and  writing,  it's  his- 
tory, culture  and  so  much  more.  Our  goal  is  lo 
help  make  people  aware  of  that." 

With  an  equal  approach  of  storytelling, 
folklore  and  anthropology.  Webb-Sunderhaus' 
lecture  will  do  just  that. 

The  lecture  will  take  place  April  9  at  noon 
in  CM  144. 

There  will  be  45  minutes  of  presentation, 
and  15  minutes  of  social  time.  Don't  miss  the

Women's  Softball  slams  Notre  Dame 
College  in  late  home  opener 


After  several  cancella- 
tions due  lo  adverse  weather, 
the  IPFW  softball  team  finally 
played  a  game  at  home  last 
week  in  a  double  header  against 
the  Falcon's  of  Notre  Dame 
College  (OH). 

Fortunately,  the  game  was 
one  worth  waiting  for,  as  IPFW 
dominated  both  games  of  the 
double  header  last  Thursday  af- 
ternoon, winning  3-1  in  game  1 
and  6-4  in  game  2.  The  softball 
team  now  stands  5-13  for  the 
season  after  a  string  of  tough 
loses  away  during  the  Rebel 
Games  held  in  Orlando,  FL,  in 
the  first  week  of  March. 

IPFW's  Junior  shortstop 
Ty  Lambert  (23)  was  the  first 
to  score  Thursday  after  a  third 
baseline  hum  set  her  to  advance 
to  third  base  by  a  grounded  out  by 
sophomore  inlicklcr  Michelle  Mci- 
ghan  (11)  and  an  error  by  the  NDC 
second  base  which  took  her  to  home 
plate.  NDC  would  come  back  in  the 
fourth  inning  to  tie  after  a  similar  er- 
ror by  second  base  player  Abby  Li- 
den  (8). 


After    the     changeover,     IPFW 

wnukl  answer  hack  ti>  regain  ilie  lead 
with  a  run  from  pitcher  Kayla  Pow- 
ell after  stealing  third  and  a  hit  from 
Meighan. 

The  final  run  of  game  1  would  be- 
long in  Liden  .jfler  third  ha.se  player 
Kacic  Sionc  (  14)  delivered  a  double, 
matching  Lidcn's.  IPFW  would  keep 


the  Falcon's  caged  the  rest  of  the 
game  closing  with  a  score  of  3  to  1. 
Another  set  of  doubles  by  Liden  and 
Stone  would  again  [nil  Liden  across 
the  plate. 

With  Stone  on  2nd,  NDC  walked 
Powell  and  a  bunt  by  Lambert  would 
load  the  bases,  A  home  run  baited  in 
by  pinch  hitter  Ashley  Tharp  (13) 


would  empty  litem  giving  IPFW  a  5- 
1)  lead  by  the  lop  ol  llie  I  st  inning. 

The  Falcons  would  score  4  in  the 
innings  to  come,  hut  one  more  run 
batted  in  by  Powell  which  brought 
Stone  home  would  seal  the  deal  giv- 
ing IPFW  their  first  set  of  wins  at

Volleyball    team    wins    second 
game   at   home   against   Quincy 


After  handing  a  ijtuek  defeat  unite 
Lakers  of  Mercyhurst  Friday  niglu, 
the  men's  volleyball  squad  turned 
around  and  handed  out  anoiher  to  the 
Quincy  University  Hawks  on  Satur- 
day, only  litis  lime  it  wasn't  as  easy. 

After  handling  the  first  two  games 
of  the  match  with  little  problem.  30- 
17  in  game  1  and  30-22  in  game  2, 
a  back  and  forth  struggle  in  game  3 
ended  with  a  win  for  Quincy  and  a 
wake  up  call  for  the  Dons. 

After  an  embarrassing  series  of 


back-io-back  Don  attack  errors  fol- 
lowed by  a  service  aee.  the  Hawks 
came  back  from  a  5-poiul  deficit  to  tie 
28-28.  A  Quincy  kill  gave  the  Hawks 
the  lead  and  a  attack  error  hy  junior 
oulside  hitler  C.J.  Maeias  (3)  showed 
the  IPFW  team  that  this  team  would 
not  go  as  quietly  as  Mercyhurst  did 
jusi  ike  night  before. 

A  trip  lo  the  locker  room  and  un- 
doubtedly some  harsh  words  from 
Head  Coach  Amie  Ball  would  do  the 
Dons  sume  good.  because  in  game  4. 
IPFW  came  back  leaner  and  more  fo- 
cused, committing  only  half  of  the  10 
errors  they  made  in  game  3,  sealing 


Iheirseeniid  win  in  ,i  row  ;ji  liunic  and 
advancing  tu  d-3  within  the  MIVA 
conference  (15-7,  overall). 

After  selling  .i  new  personal  hesi

in  scoring,  once  again  breaking  his 
fresh ly-sei  match  record  for  kills  at

formances included,  II  kills  from

But  He  Dies  in  the  Middle. 


At  his  crucifixion,  not  even  Jesus'  closest  followers  would  have  called  him  a  hero.  The 
man  they  thought  was  the  Messiah  was  being  executed.  End  of  hopes.  End  of  dream. 

But  then  something  happened.  Three  days  later,  his  body  was  not  in  its  burial  tomb. 
That  night,  he  physically  appeared  to  his  disciples.  He  showed  them  all  of  the  Scriptures  that 
foretold  that  he  would  die  for  the  forgiveness  of  sins  and  then  rise  from  the  dead. 

Jesus  is  the  hero  we  needed..,the  Savior  who  offers  us  eternal  life  and  a  chance  to  know 
God  personally.  To  know  more,  see  the  feature  article  BEYOND  BLIND  FAITH  at
