The New View The Magazine of the University of Indianapolis Fall 2015 The new view When the Krannert Memorial Library was built in 1977, it presided over a central parking lot bounded by Esch Hall, Lilly Hall, Schwitzer Student Center, and the new library. Some years ago, that lot was replaced by the Smith Mall. Now, the library’s summer renovation has transformed its brick face into a wall of windows to provide a verdant campus vista.

WWW.UINDY.EDU 3 President’s forum The Greyhound Plan Keeping scholars on track The beginning of a new academic year never fails to be an exciting time. That has never been more true than now, as the impact of our Vision 2030 strategic plan begins to become visible all over campus. As I write, the opening of the UIndy Health Pavilion is only days away, transforming the eastern gateway to the University—and promising to transform our health sciences programs as well, promoting as it does a highly collaborative, community-focused, and practical experience-based approach to health education. As you saw on the cover of this issue of Portico (and in our annual report magazine, 1400, this past summer), Krannert Memorial Library has undergone a major renovation that reflects how that space is best used in the 21st century. The campus apartments, built on Shelby Street in the fifties, have been razed; soon the beautiful new Greyhound Village will rise in their place. The new lacrosse field has been installed, and the fifth floor of the Roberts Hall residence facility (left unfinished to accommodate future growth) has been completed. Because of these and many other developments, there is growth and activity virtually everywhere you look on campus. These are some of the physical manifestations of the very deliberate plan that we have crafted with your help. But it’s important that we continue to pay careful attention to their context in the University’s values and heritage and what each of these developments means for our students, both Dr. Robert L. Manuel present and future. UIndy has enjoyed a remarkable run of record and near-record enrollments over University President the past few decades, which tells us that the University and its plans for the future are indeed resonating with prospective students. At the same time, we are making every effort to boost retention of those students from year to year and to ensure that they are graduating on time. The Greyhound Plan—still another crucial element of Vision 2030—aims squarely at that target. The process of centralizing student advising and integrating it with career development started in 2013–14 with the establishment of the Center for Advising and Student Achievement, aka CASA. This integration continues to be refined to provide consistent help to students in melding their curricular and co-curricular activities, including service and travel, to advance their academic and professional goals while ensuring successful, on-time completion of degree programs. The University’s curriculum approach stresses more multidisciplinary coursework and active learning experiences through general education, team teaching, course linking, new majors and minors and concentrations, and student- faculty collaboration. These approaches engage students and prepare them for the workplace. They also spur faculty collaboration, scholarship, and creative expression. The Greyhound Plan is indeed paying dividends, and we expect that the benefits from our newest facilities will be powerful complements to the work being done to boost student achievement as well as retention. I hope you’ll visit campus on Homecoming weekend to tour these new spaces and take the opportunity to chat with the students you encounter. I’m certain you’ll come away with a newfound appreciation for all your alma mater is and can be. 4 PORTICO FALL 2015 Strength, resilience, passion, commitment: Making her mark on her city Yvonne Shaheen loves a good underdog.

  • Opinion | Sylvia Chase and the Boys' Club of TV News
    SUNDAY REVIEW Sylvia Chase and the Boys’ Club of TV News When we started at the networks in the early ’70s, most of us tried to hide our gender. Sylvia spoke out. By Lesley Stahl Ms. Stahl is a correspondent for “60 Minutes.” Jan. 12, 2019 Back in the early 1970s, the TV network news organizations wanted to show the world that they were “equal opportunity employers.” And so, CBS, ABC and NBC scoured the country for women and minorities. In 1971, Sylvia Chase was a reporter and radio producer in Los Angeles, and I was a local TV reporter in Boston. CBS hired her for the New York bureau; I was sent to Washington. Sylvia, who died last week at age 80, and I were CBS’s affirmative action babies, along with Connie Chung and Michele Clark. To ensure we had no illusions about our lower status, we were given the title of “reporter.” We would have to earn the position of “correspondent” that our male colleagues enjoyed. We were more like apprentices, often sent out on stories with the seniors, like Roger Mudd and Daniel Schorr. While we did reports for radio, the “grown-ups” — all men — did TV, but we were allowed to watch how they developed sources, paced their days and wrote and edited their stories. Up until then, most women in broadcast journalism were researchers. At first, the four of us in our little group were grateful just to be in the door as reporters. Things began to stir when the women at Newsweek sued over gender discrimination.

    PHILADELPHIA SOCCER HISTORY / US OPEN CUP Philly and the US Open Cup Final Posted by Ed Farnsworth on August 13, 2014 at 12:15 pm Featured image: The Bethlehem Steel FC victory float after winning their second US Open Cup, then known as the National Challenge Cup, on May 6, 1916. (Photo: University Archives & Special Collections Department, Lovejoy Library, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville) Philadelphia teams, both amateur and professional, have a long history of appearances in the final of America’s oldest soccer competition, winning the US Open Cup ten times. The last Philadelphia team to do so was the Ukrainian Nationals in 1966. At PPL Park on Sept. 16 at 7:30 pm, the Philadelphia Union will look to restart that winning tradition. Before the US Open Cup Before the founding of the US Open Cup in the 1913–1914 season, the claim for a national soccer title was held by the American Cup competition, also known as the American Football Association Cup and the American Federation Cup. First organized by the American Football Association in 1885, the competition primarily featured teams from the early American soccer triangle of Northern New Jersey, Southern New York and lower New England. In 1897, the John A. Manz team became the first Philadelphia club to win the American Cup. Tacony won in 1910 with Philadelphia Hibernian losing in the final the following year. In 1914, Bethlehem Steel FC won the first of its six American Cup titles by beating Tacony, who had also lost to Northern New Jersey’s Paterson True Blues in the final the year before.

MLS as a Sports Product – the Prominence of the World’s Game in the U.S. April 8, 2021 Abstract The purpose of this Working Paper is to analyze how soccer at the professional level in the U.S., with Major League Soccer as a focal point, has developed over the span of a quarter of a century. It is worthwhile to examine the growth of MLS from its first game in 1996 to where the league currently stands as a business as it moves past its 25th anniversary. The 1994 World Cup (held in the U.S.) and the subsequent implementation of MLS as a U.S. professional league exerted a major positive influence on soccer participation and fandom in the U.S. Consequently, more importance was placed on soccer in the country’s culture. The research reported here explores the league’s evolution and development through the cohesion existing between its sporting and business development, as well as its performance.
