law enforcement agencies from across the stale come to IUPUI to explore the newest and best techniques in solving some of their most difficult criminal cases.

The Institute for Forensic Imaging was established two years ago with a mission to unprove the effectiveness of the investigation of crimes and the prosecution of suspects through improved utilization of imaging

“Law enforcement is u s miles behind the rest of the world in photography." said Herbert B Inzer, I FI executive di­rector 'They are not doing what lawyers, judges and jurors want"

What lawyers want, according to IFI Director of Training Jack Ruhak. is visual forensic evidence that is unquestion­able and effectiv e in the courtroom.

The institute is sought by agencies to improve the quality of visual evidence such as fingerprints and video survcil- lance. Bhirer added that forensic work of IFI consultants re­cently resulted in an arrest and conviction in a high-profile, multiple-murder case.

to assure IFI staff members are aware of both the

r\ s

tXir primary mission is to take state-of-the-art technology and move it into the crime labs across the state," said Barry Bullard, chief scientist

In order for the technology to be effective in a crime lab. law enforcement per­sonnel must know how to use it at the crime scene. For this reason, training is an important aspect of the institute's mission.

Most IFI courses carry Continuing Education Unit credits hacked by IUPUI and art certified by the Indiana Law Enforcement Training Academy. IFI offers courses covering a full range of topics including crime scene photography, video camera techniques for law enforcement, photo imaging for police investigations and surveillance photography

Courses are developed on the basis of surveys on industry needs, technology evolution and consistency with industry norms. In order for technology lo move into the crime labs, there must be w idespread acceptance of digital imaging as reli­able evidence in a court of law. Currently, there are court cases in which the sci­ence behind digital imaging has been questioned

Because of this skepticism? IFI is constantly w orking with professors from the IU School of Law-Indianapolis to develop a set of standard operating procedures (hat would make digital images acceptable as evidence.

'T he science of image processing can not be challenged if you use conventional techniques." said Bullard. The courts are looking at whether the underlying sci­ence is valid, that it is applied properly and that the techniques used to analy ze evi­dence aren't prejudiced to a defendant "

Although it is a separate research institute with its own staff and administration. IFI collaborates with the students and faculty from sev eral IUPUI schools. A most recent collaboration with the School of Public and Environmental Affairs will study how forensic* can help authorities in the detection and conv iction of domes­tic violence cases. Funding for the project is pending

IFI was created under and incorporated into AdvanccTek. Inc a not-for-profit corporation at IUPUI with interests in digital signal processing, manufacturing technology and advanced technology for electnc vehicles.

Last Monday, a food area opened in the Student Activities Center “It’s doae and not as crowded."* said James Samuels, a freshman majoring

The location inside the activities center includes deli sandwiches, soups is menu. On the sandwiches, the customer can choose from a

With a menu of various styles of traditional pizza, salads and breadsbcks. Caito’s offers meals by the p i™ slice or through combo

According to Montgomery, the eating area will benefit students as a mote convenient alternative to the food court at the University Place Hold.

‘There’s not as much trouble for students to leave and go across the street and cross traffic,*’ he said.

Like the University Place food court, the new eateries offer similar styles of food options.

Melissa Roberts, employee for Maurtos, said that the new eatery will equally provide a nice variety of chokes.

"We have fountain drinks, drinks in a can, juices, sweets, fattening foods and healthy foods,** said Roberts. "It’s a good variety.**

Changing tastes■ As people lean toward a healthier diet and vegetarian

entrees become more popular, options on campus are slim.M » T 1 ►i* C m AM P i l l

i C o i i m w M t n

The proliferation of products advertised as "ftf-free" and "cholesteroldree'’ seem to be evidence that the American public is leaning inward a healthier diet Many vegetanans on campus have adopted this lifestyle not only for health tea sons, but also because of then beliefs in animal nghts

But according to several students, it is still quite difficult to find meat free options at the mam urea eaiencs

"All there really is on campus is Subway, which gets really bonny." said Gregg Hinton, a junior majoring in Computer Technology ‘There's Luca Pizza, but cheese pizza is onl> good for so long, unless you warn to be creative and get a veggie Whopper at Burger King "

Robyn Hobbs. Integrated Technologies employ ee and food court customer agreed

"You can only eat bigels and Subway a certain number of times in a week" she said

While vegetanans avoid meat products, vegans avoid animal products —in­cluding dairy products and eggs — altogether

"I am vegan, so no animal products at all in food are acceptable." added Hobbs There need to be more options "

"If you're vegetarian, you can get fnes but that’s about iC* wud Whitney Richwtne, a freshman majoring in general studies "If you’re vegan, it s even harder"

Even though a dish may not contain meat, that does not always mean it is

"I won’t eat veggies from Steak Escape which have been cooked on a grill shared with carcasses.** said Dale Bcwley. food court customer

According to several studerus. many restaurants are reluctant to provide in­formation about their ingredients, even if it means potentially gaining custom­ers.

"I’m not 100 percent up on what is edible." Bcwley said, "so I’ve resigned myself to the fact that there aren’t many choices and I’ve settled into my niche"

While options besides the food court do exist, alternatives are still slim The Best Tasic Chinese buffet. Queen of Sheba Ethiopian Cuisine and Bmegger’s Bagels — all in the Lockfield Commons area — are practically the only other restaurants within walking distance from campus that offer vegetarian choices

Recently, however, another choice for meal-free dining has opened on cam­pus. Essential Edibles — which moved to « permanent location in the Student Center last Monday — had been located in a tent in the Student Activities Cen­ter courtyard.

Manager Abby Harlan is excited about the mostly vegetarian restaurant's possibilities There has already been a lot of positive feedback from vegetar­ians who won’t always have to pack a lunch." Harlan said.

Harlan did express apprehension about the business potential of a mostly vegetarian restaurant on campus

I ’m kind of scared, hut the vegetanans on campus have been w aiting a long time for something like this, so 1 think it's going to he a big turnout,’’ Harlan

Essential Edibles will he the most vegetanan and vegan-friendly eatery at IUPUI, since they use no animal by-products w hatsoever

And according to Harlan, while they will feature one fish and one chicken dish on the constantly rotating menu, "wc use separate pans for the meat, and

Hobbs is happy about (he prospect of a vegan establishment on campus "It will be a wonderful change, a step in the nght direction "

"Essential Edibles is a good thing fi* campus We need an alternative to the food court," said Hinton "Essential Edibles decided to come here partly for the money, but I think they wanted to address the problem we have with a lack of vegetanan food here.’’

Harlan said she chooses to look at the opening of Essential Edibles in a more political light T ’m sure that if we sold more meat items, we would make more money** Harlan said "But I would rather make it a place where we can teach people that there are healthier and more animal cruelty-free ways of eating’’

Julian’s Carhbe Restaurant — located at 3925 N. High School Rd. — offers a chance for hungry ^>petitc$ to experience the food and culture of the Caribbean

Although the restaurant has only been open in the past few months. Julian s has the potential to stick around by offering unique flavors not found elsewhere in town,

Spicy and exotic food occupies a large part of Julian's everyday menu

On this stop, the meal started off with a bowl of seafood chowder which was rich with shrimp and foil of all the things expected in a good seafood chowder.

Next up for the main course was sampling of odd sounding, but taityi jerked chicken — which was fabulous and. well, spicy.

All in all most of the food severed was spicy and rich w ith flavor, and not for the mild of heart or stomach.

The wait staff was very courteous and attentive to the customers. Julian’s owner even made occasional walks around the dinning room greeting and chatting with

Julian's also features a live stage where rastafarian sounds are played throughout the evening.

The price range for most the meals are around the $9 to $12 range. It make* a nice stop for a relaxing evening where not only can one dine from a wonderful menu, but enjoy a little bit of the islands.

Overall Julian's, with a nice casual and relaxed dining atmosphere, was well worth the trip to Caribbean— if it was just only Indy's west side

THE IUPUI SAGAMOREMonday, September 29,1997 • Page 5

Watch your back■ Students, be on he look out for that ‘one’ instructor

who strives to make your semester a living mess.

S i a m Ed i t o s i a i m C h s i i t o m i i * N i k i In to * id C a m

Why is it every semester there's always “the One?"Oh, by the One I mean that one instructor or professor

that has designed the course-load of their class to consume your every waking step, breath and thought.

You know the One who it moat likely driving you a little nuts by this point in the semester.

And there’s really no way to avoid the One. Looking through the IUPUI schedule of classes every semester is a little like playing Russian Roulette. Only instead of a loaded bullet, it's a half-cocked instructor.

No matter if you take two classes or five there ends up be­ing that one instructor who — apparently through some mis­guided sense of duty or a hyper-active ego — feels your life must center around this one class.

As a result of the One. you end up neglecting your other classes, job and home life — if you still happen to have one.

The One comes in all shapes, sizes and academic depart­ments.

But could the One be stopped? Well, while trained, medi­cal professionals and criminal authorities have been unable to find a means of disposal... I mean cure, there really isn’t a way to stop the One. So watch your back and hold your ground, because it's going to be a trip down Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

But I do try and for the most part all IUPUI students do their best to meet deadlines and assignments posed by the One.

Deadlines are fine and cool, as the editor-in-chief of this publication I hold the ideal of deadline as something sacred above all else, but cut us some slack when you come up with these course-loads.

Sometimes an instructor’s expectations are more than we can handle.

I’m usually nor a whiner. If something is going to be late. I’U take the penalty rather than dragging myself and the best excuse I've cooked up to an instructor's office and pleading my case like 1 was testifying before the Supreme Court on why I shouldn’t be sent to the electric chair.

I’m sure the academic pool of IUPUI has heard a billion excuses of why a student can't get an assignment done. Moat excuses are probably used up by now, from “my dog ate my homework’’ to "the kids have chicken pox” to “the death of a relative." In fact I'm surprised that instructors don't ask for a copy of the death certificate before accepting that last excuse anymore.

This is still a commuter campus and there are forces out there in life that will prevent us from getting the job done from time to time.

College is supposed to be challenging and advance our lives, not a burden.

And sometimes — thanks to the occasional One — it ends up feeling like the work is more frustrating than re­warding.

Readen may nibrnft letter! of any length and on any topic, but prefer­ence will be grwn to thoae leu than 350 wortU related to the IUPUI

■ Writer offers a few tips on how to shape leadership traits and overcome organization ‘bad apples.’ It starts with pro-activity.

As a leader, there are many skills you can and should develop. Some of which are communication, resolving conflicts, working as part of a team, respecting diver­sity, quality-time management and maintaining a positive attitude.

These are just a few of the characteristics that make a good leader.

One characteristic of leadership that is often overlooked, but very significant, it the ability to be proactive. Pro-activity is the ability to roll with the punches, to be able to take what is perhaps a negative situation and arrive at a positive conclusion.

For example, as a representative of the Undergraduate Student Assembly, I have had members of various student organizations come to me with concerns regarding their move to the basement of the Student Activities Center.

These organizations feel that they have lost some of their vis­ibility to students. The proactive way to look at this situation would be to say, “Moving to the basement is a setback in our vis­ibility to students, so lets concentrate harder on different ways to get students involved in our organizations.'*

Also, being a leader doesn't necessarily mean you axe an officer or a member of an organization. You can be a leader through your actions, like being a good student.

Being a good student means showing up at class on time, ac­tively participating in discussions and completing your assign­ments.

Being proactive can help leaders maintain positive attitudes. Pro-activity draws on the positive, not the negative.

One bad apple can spoil the whole bunch and negative attitudes

are just like bad apples. They can bring an organization down, hurt peoples' feelings and portray the entire group as negative to other students.

Another aspect that can bring down a leader and organiza­tion is jealousy. Wo all have to accept that everyone is different. Just because someone excels at a particular activity or has more knowledge about something doesn't make them better than anyone else. Everyone has quali­ties that distinguish them from someone else. Instead of being jealous of a person, learn from them

Last week 1 had the pleasure of listening to one of America's living legends. Gordon Parks, speak at the Walker Theater. Parker is a world renowned photographer, composer, director, and novel­ist.

He was bom extremely poor and had a rough upbringing. Even though the odds were against him. he persevered arui had the will to try anything and everything to succeed. Parks has traveled across continents and won many awards from the NAACP, the Urban League, as well as many others. A theme one can learn from Parks is to never ghrup!

There are many organizations on this campus for students to get involved. If you don't find one you are interested in. make one. College is a time for learning, and not just from books. Stu­dents can also learn* valuable lessons from interacting with other students and through respect of diversity.

Self-discovery through art■ An interview with Hawaiian artist Wyland revealed ideal, personal characteristics by which ’many could learn from.’

Every once in a while something really cool happens. Il doesn't happen often, so when it comes around, you know what it is.

Just the other day I had one of those really cool things happen. I got to watch an ocean form and a forest develop in a matter of a couple hours, all by one man. A man named Wyland. the one- named artist from Hawaii who is currently painting a mural on the north wall of the IPS building.

When I read in The Indianapolis Star that the mural was al­ready started, I knew 1 wanted to write an article about him. I am not sure why. but for a week I have been searching for a topic to write about and this just stuck out in my mind.

When I went to watch him work, I went half as a fan and half as a writer. So it was an honor for me to actually meet him. It be­came quite obvious to me that when he was on the ground. I wouldn't get a chance to ask him a single question in the midst of his adoring fans, many of whom have followed him from city to city like pari of a Grateful Dead road trip.

So when I was asked to join him on his cherry picker as he painted, I was nearly ecstatic, not to mention terrified. You see. I am scared of heights. Oh well, such a sacrifice, huh?

1 watched him paint beautifully, brilliant pine trees as he talked about things from a sunset he experienced in the San Juan Islands to Jimmy Buffet a friend and a fellow sea-life activist. He ex­plains that the deep rich gold sky found in this mural reminded him of that sunset. He was like watching a child beam with ex­citement from ear to ear as he made the discovery. I’m not sure he was talking to anyone as he eagre to the conclusion. 1 think he

was just discovering out loud.As it seems, much in Wyland's life has been from discovery.

While standing on the ground watching hint sign au­tographs. 1 personally saw sev­eral thousands of dollars worth of work being sold — in just three pieces

It amazed me the numbers and the kinds of people that were there in appreciation of a man painting on a wall. TWo homeless people came up to him and shook his hand, as did two collectors who were bringing home a newly purchased treasure. He treated both with the same respect and dignity, an attitude that many could stand to team from.

Maybe what draws people to him is the frce-spinied nature he exudes. Or maybe it was the genuine warmth and compassion he showed to the group of first graders who came to watch him work — making a living doing what makes him happy.

I first took notice of Wyland because of his artwork, but now I have become a fan because of his attitude. There are far too few free spirits in the world who have half a clue as to what is impor­tant. Wyland has that and more.

I hope that one day I can be like Wyland. a person who loves children, hoping to feed their desires and someone who will one day represent something. For me or you it may not be whales or giant sea turtles, but something.

Like Curly said in “City Slickers." “It’s that one thing." I keep looking, and maybe I have found it, here, at my keyboard.

lUPUI's women athletes mentor young girls■ Metros team up with Big Sister's program to encourage youths at the Hawthorne Community Center.

The acronym TGIF has a whok difTerrm meaning for a group of 10- through 12 ycar-okS-girt* in Indianapolis. It has nothing <o do with Friday

The Big Sisters organization, which has paired women with girls for the Iasi 23 years, has started a new program called Today's Girls in Fitness. This program is a collabora­tion of five Metros women's sports teams to mentor girls at Hawthorne Community Center.

TGIF started on Sept 9 with the women's basketball and softball teams and will continue in January and March when the Metros women’s tennis, swimming and volleyball teams get involved.

participating children tfiend after-school sessions in

which they practice various sports and exercises and receive

Even though there is a heavy emphasis on learning ath­letic skills, the true focus of the program is to provide posi­tive role models to young girts.

Head women s basketball coach Kris Simpson, sends her players to the sessions with a special irutirtive

"1 ask the team members to relate their basketball experi­ences and how they applied those experiences to life.** said Simpson.

Besides Simpson's basketball players, softball coach J.T. Schragc's has had three of his team members over to the Hawthorne Center every Thursday afternoon. Schrgge pointed out that the young girls are not the only ones getting something out of the program.

‘The girls (mentors) love helping out.” said Schrage.

'TWo out of the three girls specifically asked me if they could go hack. It’s not just beneficial to the kids but alto lo the guts doing the mentoring.”

The sessions arc taking place at the Hawthorne Commu­nity Center, located at 2440 W. Ohio S t Diane Arnold, the ex- ' ecutive director at Hawthorne was excited to get involved with the program.

“For us, it was the opportunity to support a relationship with positive role models,” said Arnold. “We hope this pro­vides an incentive to play a sport, go to college or set goals for the future. Most of the girts live nearby and we want them to know they can have success outside of their immediate neighborhood**

Whether or not these girts are successful later in life, they can take with them a positive experience from the Hawthorne Community Center and the TGIF program.
