► The Girl Scouts partner with Planned Parenthood.

Jessica Geyer

In interest of intelligent discussion, we compiled a list of some of the most striking statements that King made

in her speech and checked for the facts.

As expected, Alveda King’s lecture at IPFW last Wednesday didn’t

come without debate. King, a civil rights activist and Christian

minister, voiced her strong pro-life opinions and focused mostly on the heated topic of abortion. Student supporters of gay rights and Planned Parenthood also made their voices heard through the question and answer period, highlighting the ongoing debate. Despite the conflicting views, though, the discussion and protests were civil and peaceful.

“I was really proud of our students because

I thought they asked great questions … they really affirmed themselves as people,” said George McClellan, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.

Despite the controversy behind King’s views, McClellan said, “I do think it’s the role of the university where different views are interrogated, challenged, discussed.”

“I don’t think last night changed anyone’s stand on abortion,” he said. “Hopefully some folks left there with a different appreciation of how some of our community feel about having their civil rights respected.”

“That’s what ought to be happening on campus,” said Julie Creek, coordinator for the

Center for Women and Returning Adults and administrator for Safe Zone. “You go to college to have your beliefs challenged and discuss and argue them.”

Safe Zone decided to represent themselves at the King event, providing information at a table outside the door to Neff 101.

“Alveda King has been a very outspoken opponent of gay marriage,” said Creek. “[They thought] it would be nice to have the other perspective, which is what Safe Zone stands for.”

“We were trying to foster IPFW’s image where there is a large diversity of opinion,” Creek added.

On a national level, “Girl Scouts of the USA does not have a relationship or partnership with Planned Parenthood,” says the Girl Scouts of the USA’s website. However, individual Girl Scouts groups can partner with outside organizations. As Kathy Cloninger, CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA said on NBC, “We do, across the country, tackle the issues of human sexuality and body image ... and we have relationships with our church communities, YWCAs and Planned Parenthood ... to bring information-based sex education programs to girls.”

This rumor started after the Girl Scouts attended a United Nations event, but they were not distributed or used by them.

► Planned Parenthood and abortion clinics target black communities.

According to a study by the Guttmacher Institute, 63 percent of abortion clinics were in predominantly white neighborhoods, 12 percent in Hispanic ones and 9 percent in mostly-black neighborhoods in 2008.

They also state that 30 percent of abortions are accounted to black women.

According to the 2010 Census, 12.6 percent of Americans are black.

► Martin Luther King, Jr. did not write his acceptance speech for Planned

Parenthood’s Margaret Sanger Award.

The speech is commonly attributed to him, but he was not present at the ceremony. Instead, his wife Coretta Scott King delivered the speech on his behalf. Alveda King still insists that her uncle did not write it.

► Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger said “colored people are like human

weeds and are to be exterminated.”

Dr. Esther Katz, who runs the Margaret Sangers Papers Project at New York University, said, “Margaret Sanger never said anything about black being like human weeds who are to be exterminated.”

Margaret Sanger said, “We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea should it ever occur to any of their more rebellious members.”

“She was talking about a project designed to bring contraceptive services to rural Southern communities where both black and white women lacked adequate services,” said Katz. “Sanger did not want to go down and impose birth control on the community, or have white medical professionals tell black women what to do,

“She believed that all women should first be educated about the benefits of contraceptive use ...” and that black community leaders should guide and assist the program.

► Abortion is linked to breast cancer

This is a topic of debate, and there are many conflicting studies. However, the National Cancer Institute did not find a link between abortion and breast cancer.

► The Girl Scouts distributed a pamphlet that promoted sex called “Happy, Healthy,

and Hot.”

Campus Has Diverse Opinions But Where Does the Truth, Or Lack Thereof,

Fit Into Alveda King’s Speech?

► If abortion continues at this rate, Social Security will be gone.

Presidential candidate Rick Santorum made a similar claim. While 22 percent of known pregnancies end in abortion, each abortion does not necessarily decrease the population by one, as “many women obtain abortions to postpone childbearing--not to prevent it altogether,” according to fact-checking website PolitiFact.com. But from 1973 to 2008, according to the Guttmacher Institute, 50 million abortions were performed.

King did not say this during her speech at IPFW. She made this claim during the Restoring Honor rally in 2010. She has since apologized for making this statement and admits that it is false.

► Gay marriage will lead to extinction.

Cover letters. What’s their purpose and how do you make yours eye-catching?

The purpose of a cover letter is to introduce yourself to an employer, give the employer a frame of reference and provide a sample of your writing ability. Some employers focus on the cover letter, others focus on the résumé. Make sure that you invest time in developing both, and you will present yourself in a more professional light. The body of the letter will always highlight and showcase the key points you wish to stress, and then all you will need to do is personalize it to fit employers’ specific needs. Keep the following things in mind when developing your cover letter:

Be SpecificAlways address your letter to a

specific person or title. “To Whom It May Concern” or “Dear Sir or Madam” just doesn’t cut it anymore. Call the company to find out to whom to address the letter. Ask how to spell the person’s name, what his/her job title is, and if you aren’t sure if the person is a he or a she [e.g., Chris Smith]. It’s always better to err on the side of caution.

What About Email?If you are emailing your résumé, you

still need to introduce yourself by way of a cover letter, but much shorter and more concise. The same rules apply and you need to follow them to get noticed. Fill out the signature block with your full name, postal mailing address, and return e-mail address. Be careful about including quotations and sayings in your signature block. Obviously don’t include anything that has potential to be offensive or misunderstood. Think about the impression your message sends to someone who doesn’t know you, and be judicious. Refrain from adding too many attachments as it is bulky for the recipient, and they may lack the software necessary to read the attachment. The only attachments should be what they requested, like a resume, and in PDF format. Writing in all uppercase and/or bold letters is considered shouting at the recipient. Treat email like any other business communication; watch your spelling and grammar. Read what you wrote before you send it, and be sure to fill out the subject line with concise and informative language.

Bob Morris (R-Fort Wayne) has been the owner/manager of Georgetown’s

Health Kick Nutrition Center since 1998, so he may have already been anti-cookie.

That stance was amplified in a letter to fellow lawmakers in opposition to a House Resolution, which had already been passed, to show recognition of the Girl Scouts of America’s 100th anniversary.

From local to national news, his letter expressing concern about Girl Scouts “quickly becoming a tactical arm of Planned Parenthood,” and parents of many young girls “abandoning the Girl Scouts because they promote homosexual lifestyles,” got attention.

The allegations Morris made were quickly falsified by Planned Parenthood and the Girl Scouts, however, after they both issued statements denying any connectivity.

Planned Parenthood commented in response that it “currently has no formal partnership with

the Girl Scouts, but supports their mission and recognizes their century of contributions to our society.”

In Morris’ letter, he wrote, “I did a small amount of web-based research, and what I found is disturbing.”

The reason there was a lack of research and evidence to support the claims Morris made was because the audience was only supposed to be his colleagues in the Statehouse, according to an apology statement Morris issued Feb. 23.

However, that isn’t enough when it comes to high school students writing papers, college students in their academics, professors in their research or scientists and doctors writing for journals – so why should our lawmakers think a search engine will give them the

answers? If representatives are going to be making laws, we should be able to trust their decisions aren’t being made based on nothing more than just a simple Internet search result.

Sum It UpMake your cover letter short, sweet and

to the point. Many times people go on and on in a cover letter, even though the average amount of time it will be in the employer’s hand is eight seconds. Prove that you can showcase your abilities, skills and strengths concisely. The employer will appreciate it. Don’t just summarize your resume, but talk about additional skills, achievements and professionalism you possess that are supplemental to your resume.

Writing SkillsUnlike a résumé, a cover letter requires

complete sentences, which sometimes makes it more challenging to write. Don’t rely on spell check and grammar check. Getting a few different people to look at your cover letter [and résumé, while you’re at it] is invaluable. Use business-letter format, typed in an eye-pleasing, easy-to-read font, printed on the same bond paper used for your résumé. Use words you are comfortable with and that reflect who you are. Don’t try to make yourself sound like someone else

Louisa Danielson The concert will be Saturday, March 3 at 8 p.m. in the IPFW Auer

Performance Hall. The music to be played? That was up to the audience.

Votes were sent in, beginning in August 2011 and ending January 14, 2012. After thousands of ballots were counted, the

final tally revealed the concert program. Top audience choice winners that will

be performed on March 3 include Debussy’s “Clair de lune,” Vivaldi’s “The Four Seasons,”

Dvorak’s “Slavonic Dance, Op. 46 no. 5” and Copland’s “Appalachian Spring Suite.”

Guest violinist Nigel Armstrong will be featured in the solo spot for the Vivaldi Four Seasons concertos. Armstrong, who first debuted as a soloist in 2002, is the first violin of the Peresson Quartet. He has also participated in many non-classical music presentations, including a performance of John Corigliano’s STOMP music with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

This is the first time, under the directorship of Andrew Constantine, that the Fort Wayne Philharmonic has offered the choice of music to the audience. According to Constantine, this program is designed to help the community become more involved with the Philharmonic.

udience Choice Concert Premier with Constantine at IPFW

“I tell everyone I meet that we love orchestral music here in Fort Wayne, and that the Philharmonic is a beloved of countless people here in the community,” said Constantine in a news brief.

Tickets for this concert start at $15. Tickets can be purchased by calling the box office at 481–0777 or by logging on to fwphil.org. The Philharmonic also has a semester student pass, which costs $20 but allows a pass-holding student to attend as many classical concerts as he or she wants without having to pay a per-concert fee.

A IPFW sits on 682 acres of land with 40 buildings and structures. Below the highly frequented

Helmke library hides Mastodon Minutes (MM).MM is an IPFW club which utilizes CAtv

facilities to broadcast school news. CAtv’s website states, “As host of the College Cable Access Channel 5, IPFW manages the channel and is its chief programmer.”

“Most students may not even know about it,” said CAtv Director Bernie Lohmuller earlier this year.

Over a hundred people were surveyed in the Walb Student Union building and the Helmke library. Approximately 83 percent had never heard of nor seen MM.

Without as much as a MM sign, one lonely news desk sits behind wooden doors, and the only indicator of broadcast news is the "on air" sign shining red above it.

CAtv is "one of five cable access channels airing on both Frontier channel 30 & Comcast channel 5; serving Fort Wane and Allen County, Indiana," according to CAtv's website.

Just over two years ago, IPFW students Josh VanCleave, Ryan Lower and Kourtney Bell conceived a plan for Mastodon Minutes.

VanCleave, current producer of MM, stated in 2010 that he wanted to bring “actual news media to IPFW instead of just theory classes.”

A part of IPFW's mission statement, as programmer, is to present university programs and people, but MM does more than just that.

“The main purpose of Mastodon Minutes is to learn not just produce a good show,” said Elizabeth Gephart, president of MM.

With a background in broadcasting from high school, Gephart is seeking experience, “whether it’s editing, or any kind of field work [or] photography…something news related.”

Regardless of major, any student can join and learn the production process of a newscast, whether it be news reporting as an anchor or behind the scenes as an editor or camera operator.

Regional newscasts can be viewed in the basement of Kettler Hall as well as sports newscasts in the basement of the Walb Student Union building, but don't count on catching MM on campus TV’s.

Victor Zapari, a video editor who works in the master control room for CAtv, failed to find MM on the computer schedule or hardcopy schedule before saying, "We play it every now and then. We use it more like a commercial or fill-in."

Not to worry though, MM is mostly YouTube based now. “Facebook and twitter are big ways to find us and we ask TV and scriptwriting classes to mention us in class,” said Chris Treft through an email, who is now the current sports anchor.

Having received funds from IPSGA in 2010 to start the show with the necessary equipment, MM is now virtually free to operate without financial obstacles.

"We haven't requested anymore [funding] since then [2010]," said VanCleave.

MM has no dues to pay. All the students volunteer their time, and CAtv facility is free to use.

“It was fun at first. It was a lot of work to create the show. I…[gained] a lot of experience from it.…I just wish it was broadcasted more. The shows didn’t really air all the time,” said Madeline Shine, former news anchor and contributor to the brainstorming of MM’s creation.

Shine said she thinks one of her newscast was aired and three put on Facebook.

Although never longer than 15 minutes, a single MM newscast involves a lot of factors including: writing scripts, video editing, multiple takes and students willing to faithfully volunteer their time every week.

Speaking of student organizations in general, Thomas Landis, activities coordinator in the Student Organizations office, said, “I think it’s a big time commitment. I don’t think everybody understands the time it takes.”

“[The] leaders are usually upper classmen who have increasing workloads,” said Landis. “Even though it’s difficult, we’re providing resources for clubs to operate successfully.”

The Student Organization Resource Center (SORC) offers free printing for fliers and the privilege to reserve tables at fairs such as the Freshmen Fest and Diversity Showcase for the purpose of promoting their club.

“They could probably put more advertisements around school so people know about it. They could make fliers [or] send emails out to somehow connect themselves to campus,” said Shine.

The IPFW Nerdist Club’s first call out meeting on Wednesday, Feb 23 attracted about 30 people, whose

nerdy passions include video games, Harry Potter, comic books, Doctor Who, cosplay, anime, crafting, sci-fi movies, Chinese zodiac and more.

For instance, Scott Carelli [pictured], a media communication major and a self-identified “Doctor Who nerd,” plans to produce a “pop-culture references heavy” mini-TV series titled “Temple Resident” as his love letter of sorts to the film “Back to the Future.”

Some members of the Nerdist Club, including Taylor Henschen and Sara Randall, said they enjoy group discussions about “nerdy things,” like debating which fan fiction is right.

Cameron Smolinske, the founding president of the club and a comic nerd, said it is hard to meet people like him in IPFW. Smolinske sees the club as a place for everybody who is into “nerdy things” to come together as a group and meet others with the same interests.

According to Smolinske, the club aims to encompass a variety of nerdy interests, including comics, TV shows, anime, sci-fi and “anything what-so-ever that you could possibly be nerdy about.”

The Nerdist Club will be hosting a “cosplay mixer” on April 7, where everyone is welcome to dress up in his or her favorite character. Potential events include Zombie walk, anime conference and comic conference.

The Large family gathered around the dinner table for their evening meal. Mrs. Large

had prepared a meal consisting of the family favorites: pot roast, mashed potatoes, and collard greens. However, the boy just sighed heavily.

“Something the matter, Jordan?” asked Mr. Large.

“Mom…Dad… I have to tell you something,” started Jordan Large. The parents listened to their child, encouraging him on. “This is really important. I’ve known all my life, though, and I feel like you guys should know.

“I’m…a hipster.”What is most likely the first time, a hipster has

admitted to being a hipster, therefore nullifying his hipster status and creating what experts are

calling a “status paradox.”“I don’t know how I figured it out,” said Large.

“One day, I was sitting in my studio, wearing a plaid shirt and looking at the piles of philosophy books and vinyl records with my obnoxiously large glasses, and it hit me.”

Now his classmates feel like he’s trying too hard to keep up his image.

“He includes the word ‘irony’ in EVERY sentence!” exclaims fellow Intro to Philosophy classmate John Jacob. “He talks about how he only likes things that are underground. We get it. You’re a hipster!”

Jordan Large is planning to write a book about his experience.

“This has changed me,” said Large. “I now have an identifier!”

Hipster Comes Out of the Closet

Study: Laws of Physics Suspended in Women’s Restroom

Freshman in Communications, Grant Haldaway found himself

in an intervention last week after friends, family, and fellow students mistook him as clinically depressed. The growing concern started when Jason Bublac, a student from Haldaway’s COM 114 class, went to his adviser with concerns that Haldaway might be depressed.

Bublac later told reporters that he found Haldaway walking through the campus while humming to Adele’s Someone Like You. His concerns worsened when he realized that Haldaway was teary-eyed.

Haldaway explained to reporters that “I’m not depressed, please just stop. I was walking outside, and it was windy. The wind caught my eye and made me tear up, it happens to everybody. Plus, Someone Like You is my favorite song.”

When reporters brought up Haldaway’s recent breakup with his former girlfriend Patricia Gaflo, Haldaway responded that “that was three months ago. I got over it in a few minutes. Besides, I dumped her.”

Haldaway’s family and friends are still not convinced, and have sought out medical help in hopes for a better well-being. Haldaway’s psychiatrist, Chris Umbel, explained to reporters that “he only thinks he’s not depressed. This love for Adele is simply his subconscious telling him, ‘Hey! You are depressed, unloved, and unwanted!’ The sooner he realizes and admits that he is alone in life, the quicker we can make him feel better.”

Since the initial report, Haldaway has been seen on two occasions sitting in a dark corner of the Ketler Hall Lobby, and singing to R.E.M.’s Everybody Hurts with tears rolling down his cheeks.

Student Humming to Adele Mistaken as Clinically Depressed

A new study from Physics: Modern Science magazine has found that time slows

down inside the women’s restroom. Physicists from PMS first noticed the phenomena when Pam Ere, a female physicist working with PMS, noticed that her watch had been off by an hour from all of the others. Ere recalled the events leading up to the initial discovery.

“I checked my watch before I entered the women’s washroom and it read about 10:30am. After using the bathroom, washing my hands, getting a snack from the machine, powdering my nose, updating my Facebook status, and solving a particularly challenging derivative, I left at about 10:36am. When I looked at a clock outside, it read 11:23am. I was baffled.”

After the incident, physicists at PMS took up the opportunity to explore the situation. Research included multiple women in the bathroom, women in the men’s bathroom, men in the women’s bathroom, and a case where a watch was placed alone in each bathroom. The results showed that only when any number of women entered either bathroom, did time slow down.

Newt Isaacs, one of the physicists observing the experiment, was the one to finally explain the event.

“How did we not see it before? It’s a simple example of Einstein’s theory of relativity! As she did more and more things, faster and faster, time relative to her slowed down as the time of the rest of the world continued.”

The IPFW Women’s Basketball team ended its regular season with

9-20 for the year. All that’s left on their plate is the Summit League Tournament, in which they’re an eight-seed team, and will kick it off playing South Dakota State.

The Mastodons started on a low note, scoring

only 7-for-24 from the floor for the first half, heading into the locker room 13 points under South Dakota. The Dons’ percentage picked up a bit in the second half, going from 29 to 47 percent; however, South Dakota ended up nabbing the win with 70-56.

Sophomore Amanda Hyde was the star of the game, scoring a team-high 14 points, getting five

rebounds and two assists. Senior Stephanie Rosado was close behind with 11 points, two rebounds and two blocks throughout the game.

Regardless of the loss, everyone got floor time Monday, and Anne Boese, who has been fighting for the record of career three-pointers, scored her 300th.

The Men’s team lost to University of Toledo but has two upcoming weekend matches to redeem themselves.

Nathan Brown, Indiana Daily Student

The winning streak was short-lived.After taking Wisconsin down to the wire and

pulling off a 62-60 victory Thursday — the team’s first win in 15 Big Ten games this season — the IU women’s basketball team (6-23, 1-15) fell 90-58 to Purdue (21-8, 11-5) on Sunday at Mackey Arena during its final regular season game.

The Hoosiers found themselves behind early, as the Boilermakers had a 9-2 lead fewer than four minutes into the game. IU tried to battle back, staying within 12 points until 6:43 in the first half.

The Boiler defense kept IU nearly scoreless for four minutes while it went on a 12-point run, extending the lead to 22 and putting the game out of reach at 41-19.

IU Coach Felisha Legette-Jack said she felt Purdue’s runs during the game were due to the added energy at Mackey Arena for the Boilermakers’ senior night, but she thought it was a great experience for her team to play in.

“You want that kind of environment,” she said. “With a young team like that, you don’t run away

from that. That’s the best it gets. You don’t avoid that kind of atmosphere. You want that so we can know what it’s supposed to feel like, so when we get in that kind of atmosphere, it’s not going to scare us.”

Junior forward Aulani Sinclair led IU with nine points in the first half, and freshman guard Candyce Ussery scored a seven, more than double her season average of 2.6 points per game.

Indiana opened the second half by trading baskets with Purdue, cutting the lead to as few as 19 points. But the Hoosiers again fell victim to a scoring drought as Purdue scored 11 straight points during about a two-minute span, pushing the team’s lead to more than 30 for the first time in the game.

IU’s deficit would rise to as many as 36 before a seven-point IU run sparked by two straight baskets from junior center Sasha Chaplin.

After a Big Ten season that included only one win, Legette-Jack said the struggles of this season’s conference play happened for a reason.

“God is such a special God that he blessed us with a special opportunity with this situation,” Legette-Jack said. “He believes we can handle it,

and we’re doing it with dignity and as much grace as we can.

“We certainly are here to win, and I came to IU to win and pursue championships, but if you can’t win, you’ve certainly got to do what you can to build the program.”

Chaplin led the Hoosiers in scoring with 15 points during only 17 minutes of playing time. Sinclair, who played the entire game, added 14 points, along with 10 from Ussery, her career high.

In the last regular season game of their careers, seniors Danilsa Andujar and Alisha Goodwin each scored a single basket and, along with Goodwin’s three free throws, combined for seven points.

With their regular season schedule complete, the Hoosiers will now move on to the Big Ten postseason tournament in Indianapolis, where they will play the conference’s No. 5 seed in the tournament Thursday.
