IU students honored with Founders Day
KATRINA CRAWFORD
Indiana Daily Student
Excitement was running high Saturday at the IU Auditorium as hundreds of students,
parents, faculty members, and administrators prepared themselves for the Founders
Day ceremony and celebration.
Several families stood outside with their honorees before attending the ceremony,
which is held to celebrate academic excellence and recognize students who achieved
a 3.5 GPA or higher in 1994.
And inside the building, faculty members shared in the exhilaration as they
put on their academic robes before marching into the Auditorium.
The ceremony started at 2 p.m., when the first strong notes of the organ were
heard throughout the Auditorium. The organ was played as the platform party
proceeded to its place on the stage.
The Auditorium then hushed as the ceremony began with a few words from IU President
Myles Brand.
He later introduced Ritchie Hoffman, the campus minister of Christian Student
Fellowship who gave the invocation.
Hoffman produced a chuckle from the audience after he said "we even honor
those moms and dads who came to honor their sons and daughters who did not have
a choice in being here."
The IU Jazz Ensemble, conducted by IU music Professor David Baker, played an
original composition titled "Wells-Spring." Written by Baker, the
songs were dedicated to IU Chancellor Herman B Wells and were played in honor
of the University's 175th birthday.
Brand called the performance "brilliant." He talked about lU's history,
and said "our Founders Day ceremony is a reminder of that outstanding history."
After Brand spoke, he turned the podium over to IU Vice President Gerald Bepko.
Bepko, also IUPUI chancellor, awarded several faculty members with various awards.
One faculty award winner was Rita Maremore, professor of speech and hearing
sciences. She said she was excited to be awarded the Pinnel Award for University
Service.
The student speaker, senior Jules Lin, followed Bepko. His speech reflected
on his years at IU and offered friendly advice for other students.
Lin first defined a "Hoosier" using the University's standards, and
then speculated about what lU's founders would think about the campus now. He
also addressed the stories he could tell his grandchildren about his days on
the IU campus including surviving dorm food.
The speech ended with his encouragement to all students to try and obtain the
goals they seek and his own definition of a "Hoosier."
"The definition of a Hoosier is inside of you and me," Lin said.
The honors students were then presented with Kenneth Gros Louis, IU vice president
and IU-Bloomington chancellor, offering the first words of recognition.
"(It) is (a) time to pause, to say to you, your parents, that we celebrate
you because you are among the best and the brightest," Gros Louis said.
"You have my affection and my very best wishes."
All in attendance joined together to sing "Chimes of Indiana," and
"Hail to Old IU" after all the students were honored.
Brand then invited the crowd to join a celebration at the Indiana Memorial Union.
"I think this is terrific. I'm very proud of each and every one of them,"
Brand said after the ceremony. "It's a great day to celebrate the quality
of the University by celebrating the quality of the students. I could not be
more pleased."

Congratulations to our 1995 Most Valuable Graduate
Miles Andrew Cline
I want to nominate my big brother, Andy (Miles Andrew Cline), as Most
Valuable Graduate of 1995. He is definitely most valuable to me. He will graduate
with an education degree, which is fitting, because he has been the greatest
teacher in my life. He has taught me about winning and losing, standing for
what I believe in (even if it's not
always popular), and to be my own person. He's also taught me everything I know
about the game of basketball, vital knowledge for any IU student! I couldn't
have made it through my first three years here at IU without him, without his
guidance and patience. I know he will be successful it whatever he does, because
that is just the kind of person he is. I wish I could be more like him. He
is the strongest person I've ever known and the best friend I've ever had!
Andy was nominated by Cindy Cline. He was chosen in a reader write-in contest
sponsored by the IDS. May 5, 1995. Indiana Daily Student, Indiana University,

He is completing a master's degree in school administration at Indiana University.
He is employed by Edgewood Junior High as a science teacher and athletic director.
He is also the Edgewood High School girls' track coach. (Publisher; date of

Indian Creek welcomes Andy Cline back home
By Amy Hillenburg
Indian Creek High Schools new assistant principal fits right in - that's
because Andy Cline has come back home. He graduated from ICHS in 1990, lived
in the area, and just finished his master's degree at IU Bloomington. Cline
is no stranger to southern Indiana.
He said the staff and Principal Bob Duke gave him a warm welcome last week
as he began a career in the administrative side of public education. Cline didn't
know Duke personally, but said they think along the same lines. "We're
both for an open-door policy, and we want to keep the communication lines open
between parents, teachers and
the community," Cline said
He's spent 12 years as an educator and coach with Bean Blossom and Richmond
(Richland) Schools, serving the last seven years as a teacher, coach and athletic
director at Edgewood Junior High, four miles west of Bloomington.
It was a grueling schedule, starting at 5 a.m. and ending some nights at
11 p.m.
"I wasn't married for five of those years, so it didn't matter when
I came home," Cline said. He still wonders how he managed to do it all.
His wife Beth is a sixth-grade math teacher at Edgewood and said their budding
relationship got a lot of help from fellow teachers who thought they would make
a good couple. They have a son now, Lucas, who is six months old.
The family will stay at their home in Bloomington - at least for awhile.
Good opportunity
Although Cline was eager to try his hand at administration, the position
at ICHS opened up quickly, and he had little time to mull things over. He's
glad he made the decision to come to Indian Creek. "It's a good opportunity
because it will make me more rounded in my career," Cline said. "The
administrative work I did as an athletic director actually parallels what I'm
doing now."
Cline didn't set out to be a teacher. "I went to IU for a sports medicine
degree. But found myself going back to Indian Creek and other schools, donating
my time with kids and working at the fisheries," he recalled.
"My dad kept saying that teaching would be a better fit for me than
sporrts medicine. There are teachers in our family - my cousin O. J. Sloop was
at Center Grove. I think he served as assistant principal and athletic director."
Andy's father, Sam Cline, is a Morgan County historian, genealogist, and
former county councilman.
As an assistant principal, Cline will supervise the discipline policy, attendance
and truancy. Duke has directed him to formulate an orientation for freshman
next year, so he won't be looking for things to do.
Cline believes the biggest challanges to educators include meeting the No
Child Left Behind mandates and working with the state budget. "Having to
watch every penny just makes our job that much harder," he remarked.
Cline's main goal for this year is to understand the legal structure of
being an administrator and reassociating himself with his native community.
"I've had a wonderful reception. We have a strong staff - some of them
were my teachers," he smiled. (The Reporter-Times, Martinsville, Indiana,
September 5, 2003.)
Administrator up for state honor
By JO ELLEN WERKING WEEDMAN
Staff writer Oct. 3, 2005
As assistant principal at Indian Creek High School, Andy Cline is the boss of
some of his former high school teachers.
Cline is a former Brave, who returned to his alma mater three years ago as assistant
principal. He is in the running for the State's District Nine assistant principal
of the year award.
He received district honors when he was named assistant principal of the year
by the Indiana Association of School Principals. The district award drew nominations
from seven counties in south central Indiana.
Now, Cline is a candidate to win the honor of statewide assistant principal
of the year at a luncheon this week in downtown Indianapolis.
In his third year as an assistant principal, Cline said he was surprised he
won the award.
"In our district there are some very big schools and a lot of people with
a lot more experience than I," Cline said.
The former student has made big improvements in the school in the short time
he's been there, teachers and other administrators wrote in letters of recommendation
for the award.
Cline has expanded the freshman orientation program to include a motivational
speaker and packets of information for parents.
Other current endeavors include making sure the high school is in compliance
with state and federal laws and starting a student of the month program this
year.
Most of Cline's job involves disciplining
students, so this year he also plans to start a positive postcard program.
Teachers will write positive comments about students and mail them home to parents,
Cline said.
Before returning to Indian Creek, Cline spent eight years as a classroom teacher
and seven years as the athletic director at Edgewood Junior High School in Ellettsville.

Editorial
More often than not, when a high school student is reprimanded for breaking
a rule or simply acting out of line, he or she proceeds to place full blame of
the situation on the shoulders of the person who must decide the punishment.
Whether the consequences involve an hour detention, a Saturday school, or even
a suspension for any number of days, it never seems to be the accused's fault.
He or she often declares the administrator "has it out for me," "totally
overreacted," or "it
was my first time" in regards to whatever the penalty for their actions
may be. This is where we, the Signal staff, feel students are stepping over the
line.
In the high school scene, the school administrators handle punishment. At
IC, it is specifically dealt with by Principal, Mr. Robert Duke and Assistant
Principal, Mr. Andy Cline. Because of what their jobs entail, many students have
come to view them in a bad light. What they fail to recognize, however, is that
they are merely doing what their contracts instruct them to do, which is maintaining
order on school grounds. We, as a staff, would like to go against the flow and
rather than criticize Duke and Cline for what they do, thank them for a job well
done. IC is more than lucky to have such fine administrators overseeing our time
spent at school, and we think it is time for students to stop focusing on the
ways they "inconvenience" them and to look at the positive impacts
they have had on our school.
With all of the attention focused on the punishments our principals hand
out each day, we students often forget how encouraging and sociable Duke and
Cline are. We may not know of the situations with principals in other schools,
but we do know how much we appreciate walking into our school each day to the
smiling faces of principals who not only know us by name but also genuinely care
about how we are doing. Do you ever notice how the only time they are not smiling
is when a student misbehaves and they are forced, by contract, to take action?
Do you not notice the looks of disappointment that cross their faces when they
return to their offices to find students sitting in the chairs by their doors?
It is because they know we are better than that and hate seeing us acting so
immaturely.
Perhaps the problem here rests not within our administrators; perhaps it
rests within us. If we could all grow up and stop getting into trouble, they
would not have to hand out punishments to each kid that passes through their
office walls.
The Indiana Association of School Principals recently named Cline the District
Nine Assistant Principal of the Year, and we, the Signal staff, firmly believe
that he is more than deserving. Both Cline and Duke display all of the characteristics
a school could need in their principals. They do not receive nearly as much recognition
for all of their hard work as they deserve. Thus, we ask of the entire student
body of IC to take into consideration how fortunate we are to have such outstanding
individuals as our school administrators. It does not hurt to show some appreciation
and gratitude and shout a simple "thank you" instead of a "why
did you give him a Saturday school?"
