CARROLL’S GOT A TICKET TO WALK

Luke Bennewitz

Staff Writer With rallied approval from members of the Carroll Community, the Budget and Grounds Committee of Waukesha addressed the removal of the crosswalk at the mid-block point on East Ave. between College and Wright at a meeting on Monday, Nov. 16. The meeting had a record number of people in attendance; more than in the past two and a half years. Over 35 people appeared to oppose the elimination of the

crosswalk between the intersection of College and East Ave. and the intersection between East Ave. and Wright St. Alderman Randy Radish, who was absent from the meeting, proposed the deletion of the crosswalk earlier this month and the Chairman of Budget and Grounds, Eric Payne, brought it forth for discussion between him and the other members of the committee. In the initial discussion, members of the committee conversed about options to put LED lights on some of the crosswalks on the strip on East Ave., the op-

tion to place a crossing guard on the specific intersection in question and if problems persisted, an elimination of the midblock crosswalk during the summer of 2010. Carroll’s Chief Financial Officer Ron Losteter, Chief Officer of Public Safety Mike Zens, and Student Senate President Ashley Frazier spoke on behalf of the students, faculty and staff to the committee against the deletion of the crosswalk. Losteter stated that he “supports the crosswalk” and the “addition of LED lights”. After representatives from Carroll spoke, the committee continued to discuss lighting at different areas besides the crosswalk in question. After several minutes, a student from Carroll raised her hand to speak, allowing for other students from Carroll the ability to raise their concerns as well. “Although students should look both ways, drivers should take initiative too,” Haley Haas, a Carroll student stated. “You can take the blocks to the east or west, but you know you’re crossing a college campus.” Addressing the speed limit and the speed of the cars driving down East Ave., sophomore Brianna Roeck stated that, “We

know what 25 miles per hour looks like and these cars are not going 25 miles per hour.” The point was driven close to home when senior Nicole Robinson, who was hit by a car while walking through a crosswalk, spoke and urged the committee to not eliminate the crosswalk. After the Carroll students got a second opportunity to voice concerns, the committee came back to the topic of the LED light suggestion, stressing the importance of the decision because the lights cost $1600 each at the minimum. Chairman Payne then suggested to Losteter that Carroll and the county split the cost of inserting LED lights at the crosswalk between the intersection of East and College Ave.’s and the intersection of East Ave. and Wright St. Chairman Payne made a motion to install LED lights at Wright and East, with Carroll to share in the cost, as well as installing brighter WE Energy lights at the midblock crosswalk and at the Wright and East crosswalk. As a friendly amendment, there was no recommendation to do anything with the midblock

crosswalk; instead, the Waukesha Police Department would be informed of a need to increase monitoring of the strip on East Ave. in question for the remainder of the school year. However, Chairman Payne added that the committee would revisit this situation at an indefinite time.

Hate crime initiates changes Caitlin Schmitt

Staff Writer Carroll University will be organizing new tactics to deal with hate crimes and hate-related behavior on campus, in response to an incident in early October. In the early morning hours on Sunday, Oct. 4, a group of Carroll University students, two of which were openly gay, were verbally harassed by a member of the Waukesha community. One of these students was physically assaulted by the community member. RA and president of the student organization Queers and Allies, Questions and Answers (Q&A) junior Emily Groves said the student received a “bloody nose . . . he was shaken up and caught off guard.” “In my opinion, it was a hate crime,” said Director of Cultural Diversity Dolores Brown. About a week after the incident, Dean of Student Dr. Theresa Barry sent an email to all students and emphasized that hateful behavior is not tolerated on campus. Brown said she considered the term “hateful behavior” to include both bias-motivated incidents as well as hate crimes. “It’s not just that crimes are wrong,” Brown said. “It’s all not accepted

[on campus].” Immediately after the assault, one of the students called Public Safety and the Waukesha Police Department. “She had to repeat the license plate [of the suspect] three times before Public Safety wrote it down,” Groves said about the conversation with Public Safety. “The situation was poorly dealt with . . . Public Safety should take proper steps no matter what the crime is,” she added. From the license plate number the student divulged to Public Safety and the Waukesha Police Department, the Waukesha Police Department found the person who verbally assaulted the students. Mike Zens, the Director of Public Safety, said “The suspect has been arrested and is going through the [legal] process.” This incident highlighted the need for Public Safety members to have diversity training. Brown will be collaborating with Diversity Librarian Karla Strand, and Director of International Education Kathy Hammett, for the diversity and sensitivity training that the Public Safety officers will receive in December. Administering a system to deal with these kinds of acts is currently one of the main focus-

es. “Okay. Everyone has biases. Now how do we manage them?” Brown said. Even though this was an unfortunate incident “Good things came out of it,” Groves commented. She believes the incident will hopefully encourage the implementation for RA safe space training, which trains RAs to encourage diversity. Carroll sophomore Seth Pamperin and senior Jenny Jadrich are trying to develop and implement safe training. Some aspects of the program have already been successfully tested at the WAICU RA conference on Nov. 14. Moreover, Q&A is planning several events such as coffee talks and workshops, where students will raise issues about LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer) community. Next semester, Q&A also will host Ally Week, which encourages students to become an allies and accept or support their LGBTQ community. Students are encouraged to speak out if they see or experience hateful behavior. There are many places on campus students can go to for help such as the Walter Young Center, Public Safety and Student Affairs.

Randall to be STEM Academy

Kristina Ljujic

Staff Writer A major change is set to occur Fall 2010 at Waukesha’s Randall Elementary School. Randall Elementary will transform into a K-8 charter school with a focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, (STEM). The program is designed to bring these four elements into the classroom and use them as a base for the curriculum and as learning targets for each subject. Given that the location of Randall will remain the same, the strong relationship between the elementary school and Carroll University will continue as well. The Chair of Carroll’s Department of Education, Dr. Wilma J. Robinson, said the department will stay involved with Randall to hopefully make its connection with the school even stronger.

The new Randall STEM Academy will bring changes to the students’ choices of languages and electives. Once in middle school, students will be able to choose between studying Spanish and Mandarin Chinese. Other electives soon to be offered will be business, entrepreneurialism, marketing and career exploration. New technology, such as SMART Boards, laptops, and wireless internet access, will be brought in over time to assist with new learning techniques. Many professors, like Carroll University Assistant Professor of History Dr. Abigail Markwyn currently send thier children to Randall. “Most parents are excited by the opportunity,” Markwyn said. While parents are still learning about the changes, feedback has been overall positive. Waukesha’s Prairie Elementary School principal, Ryan

Krohn, will be replacing Randall’s current principal, Bonnie Schlais. Because other teachers in the Waukesha School District have shown interest in the STEM program, staffing may change; many have already applied. The school hopes to finalize its staff by Apr. 1, 2010. In a newsletter sent home to parents, the school thanked Schlais “for her many years of amazing leadership,” and wished her well in her future career. Randall Elementary School is located at 114 S. Charles St. Informational meetings for parents will be held on Nov.18 and Nov. 30 from 7:00-8:00 p.m. at the school. Parents from other elementary and middle schools who wish to learn more about Randall are encouraged to attend additional informational sessions on Dec. 7 and Dec. 14 from 7:00-8:00 p.m. at Central Middle School.

Staff Writer The Health Center currently utilizes the efforts of a Certified Nursing Assistant, who is also a current Carroll University student, in its services to students; a position that not many know about. The Health Center is comprised of two nurse practitioners, one medical assistant and six student workers. One of the student workers is also a nursing student who is trained as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). Many students don’t recognize the difference amongst the different practitioners, nor are CNAs mentioned in promotional materials, so when they go to receive medical help some students are in slight shock as to who is treating them. The nurse practitioners (NPs) are like doctors. They diagnose, treat, order labs and write prescriptions- among other things. A medical assistant can check vitals, give shots or vaccines and other clinical duties. A CNA can bring patients back to waiting rooms, take vitals, gets a patient’s history, and ask what brings them in the health center. There is only one Certified Nursing Assistant that the Health Center utilizes; this practitioner helps make the flow easier in the Center. The CNA is utilized because it is another set of hands to help move people into waiting rooms and out of the main room. The CNA is able to get vitals, a medical history and find out what is wrong so that the nurse practitioner knows more specifics when they enter the treatment room. The CNA does not diagnose or treat. Also, if a student does not wish to divulge personal information to the CNA about their reason for being there, they can wait and discuss it with the NP they are going to see. An aspect emphasized is confidentiality. All student workers are required to sign an agreement stating that they understand. The medical staff is bound by HIPA privacy. The staff reminds the student staff,

including CNA, constantly that they are not allowed to repeat or tell anything that goes on at the center. Nothing seen, heard or read leaves the center. All workers are told that it is a small school and that things will travel. If students wish to do so, they may fill out a symptom check-list, but if they are uncomfortable disclosing this information they can choose to wait to be seen. According to Pam Dolata, the Student Health Center Coordinator and Nurse Practitioner, the Health Center

“Students have not felt uncomfortable except on their first-ever visit.” --Pam Dolata, Nurse Practitioner

has had no problems and she is proud of their student workers for that. Dolata believed that students feel comfortable being treated. “Students have not felt uncomfortable except on their first- ever visit,” said Dolata. The initial visit is what is the most uncomfortable because students don’t know what to expect. As students use the services provided, they see that it’s convenient and they are becoming more comfortable over time. In addition to the student CNA, the Health Center also has the six student workers. The workers main jobs include getting charts ready, entering data into the computers, making files and filing them and setting up bulletin boards. The current health center workers are not all nursing students either. Only three of the six workers are nursing majors, and the other three are in a science related field of study. “The student workers help keep the center flowing. When they are gone because of activities or sickness, things move slower, less fluidly, and can get very chaotic,” said Dolata.

Karpenko said, “What I think is actually great about it though is establishing a habit of reading in people, which is really important, and however you do it is fine.” Whether these literary trends throughout history serve to explain the ongoing “Twilight” obsession or readers simply enjoy following the intense romance and deception between the human world and the mystical, Meyer’s audience continues to multiply.

Vampires vs Werewolves: who will come out alive (or undead?) Heather Markovich

Editorial Staff The battle between traditional vampires and werewolves has been one that has raged on for years, in books and movies specifically. However, the winner of this timely battle may be able to be seen upon close inspection of who these ‘changelings’ actually are. Let’s take a look at our opponents’ backgrounds. On the right side of the ring are the vampires. Vampires, in myth and folklore, are typically beings that exist by feeding on the life essence of a living being; typically blood. Tales of vampires date back to as early as prehistoric times but were not brought into the forefront of public attention until the publication of The Vampyre by John Polidori in 1819. It was Polidori, and later Dracula writer Bram Stoker, who further defined the mythological species with a move away from

the gaunt vampire of earlier folklore to the ‘charismatic’ vampire. Since Polidori and Stoker’s efforts, an array of books, movies, television shows and video games have branched off in different directions. Typical characteristics of vampires include pale skin, a coolness to the touch, fangs, lack of aging and the absence of a reflection; attributed to European vampire folklore that tied it to a vampire’s lack of a soul. Nor will you see a vampire in the daylight; most vampire fiction relates back to a vampire’s comatose state during the daylight hours and activity at night. On the left side of the ring are werewolves. Werewolves are typically humans with the ability to shape-shift into a wolf-like creature. Typically the transformation is caused by the dawn of a full moon and allows for them to achieve super-human strength and impeccable senses. Stories of werewolves date back to as early

as ancient Greece, but were also very important in some Native American legends. Though their stories and sources are diverse, werewolves are typically thought to be a European character. Typical characteristics of werewolves include the meeting of both eyebrows at the bridge of the nose, curved fingernails almost like claws and a swinging stride. A Russian superstition also recalled that a werewolf could be recognized by bristles under the tongue. In any mythological-based and epic fight of this stature, a comparison of the creatures’ foremost strengths and weaknesses will be the telling factor as to who is our final victor. So who is our victor? Using these strengths and weaknesses of traditional vampires and werewolves, The New Perspective is asking you, the reader, who you think would win in a battle. The best responses will be published in the next issue!

Fangs Strengths

Supernatural strength Supernatural senses Fangs Relative immortality Flight Regeneration

Weaknesses

Destruction by decapitation Immobilization by wooden stake Restriction to night activity (aversion to sunlight) Warded off by such things as garlic and sacred objects Inability to cross bodies of water

Alumni and former news editor climbs up the ladder at The Knot

Ellie Martin Cliffe thouroughly edits and manages on a daily basis at The Knot Inc.’s New York SoHo office.

Annie Selbo Staff Writer

Once the news editor for The New Perspective, and now the assistant managing editor for the famous lifestage media company The Knot Inc., Ellie Martin Cliffe truly signifies what it means to be a successful Carroll grad. While at Carroll, Martin Cliffe earned her degree in communication with an emphasis in journalism and a minor in religion, and especially remembered working with professors Dr. Joe Dailey and Dr. Barb King. She also sang in the concert choir, was involved with the college democrats, and participated

in the Religion and Philosophy clubs. But, it was her involvement with The New Perspective that inspired her decision to study journalism because of the strong writers and creative environment. Her experiences at Carroll really helped train her how to edit, write, research, and manage employees. Martin Cliffe truly built upon these experiences because she is now responsible for the research and copy for The Knot Inc. When she began at The Knot Inc., she was hired as a freelancer, and never expected to become the assistant managing editor for the successful company.

“If you have a goal, go for it even if there’s no long term plans. You never know how the future will work out, so do not plan down to the very last detail,” Martin Cliffe said. As the assistant managing editor, she helps plan each issue and works on projects from Public Relations, television stations, and internet websites such as AOL and MSN. She also makes sure employees work in a timely matter, creates their schedules, and writes articles. In addition, she coordinated editorial internships, including Perspective’s Features Editor Bobby Schuessler. Overall, Martin Cliffe has a positive outlook, lives life to the fullest, and does not have a set path on where she intends to go in the future. “I take myself in the direction I want to go, and I do not put all the attention on one goal,” commented Martin Cliffe. “There are many opportunities I could potentially miss out on because I cannot tell what the future will bring.” Martin Cliffe encourages students to approach the future with an open mind and to use all of their talents. Currently, Martin Cliffe and husband Ian ‘03 reside in Manhattan. Martin Cliffe is just one of the many distinguished alumni at Carroll.

Best’s State Sonnets makes debut Lyla Goerl

Editorial Staff Arthur “B.J.” Best truly understands what it means to be a busy and successful professor and author. After graduate school at Washington University in St. Louis, Best landed an adjunct position at Carroll University. “It was kind of weird to start at Carroll at first,” said Best. “I heard a rumor that writing classes were going to be offered and ended up staying to teach.” In 2005, Best created his first chapbook entitled Crap. A chapbook is a small book of poetry, usually 20-30 pages in length, stapled in the middle instead of binded and is also cheap to produce. Then, in a period of 72 hours, he created a 10 part single poem. After writing Crap, Best just happened to show his finished piece to editor Charles Nevismal from the Centennial Press. Nevismal then published Crap, which was Best’s first published chapbook. “Normally, it takes about 3 months to publish a book; however, this particular chapbook took about a month to complete,” commented Best. His second chapbook, titled Mead Lake, This, is about Mead Lake in Wis. This piece also has poems about love. In November 2007, Centennial Press again published it. “When I start to think of

WCCX 104.5 FM Evihn Vaszily

Staff Writer WCCX, Carroll University’s live broadcasted radio station, continues to work to please its audience of Carroll students and Waukesha locals alike. The station is fairly versatile in terms of what is featured while on the air. Though the majority of the featured shows are more music based, the station does occasionally host talk shows as well. As in past years, the organization strives to provide a wide variety of music and talk show entertainment, but according to station manager Walter Gaskew, the main goal goes above and beyond these expectations. “The one thing we really believe is that WCCX is a true college radio station; it is run for the people, by the people,” said Gaskew. “This is a peoplepleasing business.” Even though DJs are given a set of rules to follow and abide by law, they really do have a lot of freedom and flexibility. Last month WCCX hosted its first annual Ultimate Frisbee tournament, and though the tournament did not receive as much turnout as had been expected, the organization hopes

a poem or idea, I first come up with a title,” explained Best. “After, I come up with a title, I write a few lines and mess around with the words to get it right.” This could be an indicator as to why Best is so successful. After his chapbook success, Best began writing again; only this time about the states. “My first actual book, State Sonnets, is poems about the states,” said Best. This book was released Oct. 15, 2009. “For each sonnet, I think about the different states or providence I had visited,” Best explained. He thought about who he was traveling with or what was on his mind at the time when he wrote the sonnets. Best visited many of the states discussed in State Sonnets only

once; therefore, it was easy for him to recall the particular trip to, or sometimes through, that state. “Ultimately, sonnets are love poems, so I tended to let my thoughts drift that way,” said Best. His next chapbook, Drag: Twenty Short Poems about Smoking, will be released in Fall 2010. Due to his success, Best is the recipient of the Many Voices Project reward, which is his first full book of poetry, entitled Birds of Wisconsin. “This is a huge milestone in my career. Approximately 1500 copies will be made,” explained Best. “I was very surprised when I was told I would receive the award.” Best is a prime example of a distinguished faculty member following his dreams.

to achieve greater attendance next year. Currently WCCX is in the stage of planning and restructuring for next semester. When questioned about his personal experiences with WCCX, Gaskew remembers his former DJ experiences as his favorite part of the organization, recalling just how much fun it can be. He relates being a radio DJ to an art project in that one must mold personally to make enjoyable for listeners. In the future, he hopes to see the next executive board pick up right where he left off. Unfortunately, current awareness of WCCX on campus is low, and it is necessary for the organization to gain recognition not only of students but of people in the area in general. “We are in a low period right now,” Gaskew said. “We need growth that will bring us to a place as a great media group that attracts many listeners.” Posters detailing the broadcast times of the many radio shows have been posted around campus to keep students up-todate on their favorite programming. Make sure to tune into 104.5 FM daily, to support your Carroll DJs.

Staff Writer A mixed media exhibition by Carroll’s art faculty will be displayed in the Rowe Art Gallery until Nov. 24. The show features a variety of media such as metal jewelry, photography, pottery and video work. An interesting piece in the show is Charlene NemecKessel’s series of hand woven embroidery. One of the pieces, titled Interior, catches attention with its bold colors and interesting subject matter. Also, Michael Ims’ pinch and coil pots incorporate different textures to add interest to the pieces. “One of the reasons why art professors display their work at Carroll is because it’s really important for students to see that their professors are practicing artists,” Peggy Farrell, assistant professor of art, said. “I enjoyed participating in the show because I like seeing people’s reactions to my work.”

Students have had positive reactions to the art exhibit. “This exhibit made me appreciate what professors can do as artists,” art major, Nicole Pollack, commented. “If students see what their professors do outside of class, they can really respect them as artists and can take something away from that experience. You also can get inspiration from their artwork and it helps you grow as an artist.” Art major, Becky Elst also enjoyed seeing what her professors do outside of class. “Sometimes I forget that they are artists because I see them in the teaching atmosphere, but seeing their art is inspiring because it makes me realize how much art is integrated Photo by Tim Worms into their lives,” Elst said. “I believe that it is important for art students to see their professors’ work because seeing their work shows me how accomplished they are and that I want to learn from them.” Make sure to check out this impeccable exhibit before it is too late.

An echo of Carroll’s past: excerpts from 1914-1916 newspaper Erik Endres

Editorial Staff Ex-Carrollite Martyred According to dispatches from Persia, Dr. Joseph Shimoon, a former Carroll student, suffered martyrdom at the hands of Turkish fanatics for refusing to turn from Christianity to Islam. These dispatches, which have not been confirmed yet, stated that he was first burned at the stake and then decapitated. Little hope of their being proven false is held, because Persia is known to be in a state of almost absolute anarchy. Dean Ray said of Mr. Shimoon, that as he remembers him, he was a quiet, studious chap, who stood exceptionally well in his scholarship during the two years of his stay at Carroll. He was deeply interested in religious work at that time and went from Waukesha to Chicago to enter McCormick Theological Seminary. From there he went to Philadelphia where he entered Jefferson Medical college, graduating with high honors in 1903, ten years after his stay at Carroll (1892-3 and 1983-4). Oroomiah, Persia, has an especial interest for Carroll students in that Dr. Rogers was at one time stationed there as a missionary and in that the parents of Wallace Allen, who is now in the preparatory department, are stationed there at present. Mooshie Benjamin, ’14, is also a native of Oroomiah. Wallace Allen has written to the Board of Foreign Missions

of the Presbyterian church and they report that they are unable to learn of any disorder and are inclined to discredit the reports of Dr. Shimoon’s death. If the report be true and Dr. Shimoon has suffered martyrdom for his God, the majesty of his faith which kept him faithful even in death is certainly aweinspiring and is a lesson that we with our increased opportunities can not afford to slight. May every Carroll student prove just as strong. What the locals were doin’ Miss Mary Starcy of Hollywood, Cal., a former Carroll student, will sail June 10th for an extended trip through the Orient. Rumor has it that sever of the professors are considering establishing office hours during which they will answer phone calls. We understand that Professor Fancy is the instigator as members of his Physics class are said to have routed him out of bed in their zealous search for knowledge. We have a fire department in Carroll, and it is rumored that we are soon to have a similar one in the dormitory. Then, what bliss! Fire drills at all hours of these chilly nights and even in the gray dawning of these January mornings—what fun! Is a Carroll student ever to be seen these days in the halls, on the campus or in the chapel, without a Bible tucked under his arm, a list of printed questions in his hand and a studious expression on his countenance?

Health bill completes one giant leap of many Luke Bennewitz

What are you most thankful for?

Bari York

Staff Writer

Staff Writer In a monumental vote this past week, the House of Representatives passed the Affordable Healthcare for America Act by a vote of 220 to 215. This epic moment in the debate on healthcare came with applause from House Democrats: House Republicans were silent with distain. It has been a while since I last wrote on the topic of healthcare and with the aftermath of the passage of the bill in the House, there are several different topics that have appeared out of nowhere and several examples of propaganda going to many wrong places. First, there are several Republicans who argue that the bill is an end to capitalism as Americans see it. Right off the bat, this is not even a correct statement because America is not even a pure capitalist society. So therefore, how could be we losing these “great virtues” of capital-

ism if we have never had a purely capitalistic economy? However, these types of remarks are fueled by the idea that by 2013, the government will be restricting private businesses on how many people they can insure. Yet, as I have stated before, the idea of government options is not entirely new (public versus private university choices, for example). Since this is making conservatives stand up in protest, will they be grabbing their pitchforks to overrun the UW system anytime soon? But anyways, this piece of legislation was only the House’s bill. Therefore, since we have a bicameral legislature, the passed House bill needs to be reconciled with the Senate’s proposed bill in a subcommittee into one massive bill, voted on again and approved by both Houses before being sent to the President for approval. During these several areas of negotiations, the bill can dramatically change, and might even possibly eliminate this mandate on private businesses.

It is all about making both political parties content with each other. However, there is still this argument of socialism in the ranks. Correct me if I’m wrong, but FDR used socialized government programs to get America out of the Great Depression and he was hailed as one of the best presidents of all time. Why has this suddenly changed? Is it because the proposed bill would cost about $1 trillion dollars that conservatives argue would be a waste of money? I guess the old saying, “you’ve got to spend money to make money” just doesn’t apply here, even though the Iraq War has cost us over $3 trillion dollars to date according to The Washington Post. This seems hypocritical of the Republicans, seeing as how they have spent over three times the amount of money proposed in the healthcare bill on an unnecessary war. But yet we can get down to the very nitty gritty of the debate and talk about the fundamental

questions: is having every American receive affordable health insurance not a universal goal that we would all like to see? I would like to see the arguments against this because I hope they are few and far between. Therefore, the healthcare bill moving through Congress is a way to help make that dream a reality. When we are living in a society that is run by health insurance oligarchs that decide who gets to live or die based on monetary measurements, isn’t this fundamentally unfair and should be stopped? There are more people working for health insurance companies in America than there are politicians. Who do you really think is pulling the strings for the GOP? All in all, my opinion of the healthcare bill has not changed since the last time I commented on it. Having a bill pass in Congress and approved by the President is a monumental first step in making America finally get on the bandwagon of universal healthcare.

Having style really does not have to be time consuming, or cost a lot of money. I strongly believe you can have perfect style by incorporating five key pieces into your everyday wardrobe.

Women Black Pumps. Ladies, black pumps are essential in creating that classic look for work or play. Try pairing them with a great pair of wide"The tight nit family I have leg trousers, or a pencil skirt for and the strength God has given work, and then throw them on with a dark-wash skinny jean, me." for a night on the town. If you --Kendrick Acken really want to splurge, go for the Psychology Major classic, 5.5 inch heel Christian Louboutins. However, if you are a student on a budget, try Mossimo pumps at Target.

While these scarves may opportunities that I have been be a trend at the moment, I begiven by my family and Carroll lieve an oversized, basic statement scarf can withstand the test University.” of time, and will be able to be --Olivia Wood Art Major, Education Emphasis worn forever. Pair a statement scarf with a great wool coat, or wear one with a basic black tee in the classroom.

Black or Grey, Structured Blazer. A blazer really is essential in creating the ultimate outfit. A basic blazer is especially great because “Being able to go to college you can wear one with a great and that I have a family that is blouse or top for an internship, supporting me through this.” and just slip it off if you plan on --Keith Hoehne going out afterwards. Head to Communication Major the Gap, or even Forevor 21 for a timeless blazer.

Basic Tote Bag. Every woman needs a basic tote bag, especially in a neutral color so it will go with just about anything. Totes add that little something extra to an outfit, and can look great as an alternative “My wealth is found in my to a backpack on campus. friends and family.” --Benjamin Kelm Dark-Wash Trouser Jean. History Major Jeans are essential in every-

one’s wardrobe. It is especially smart to have a nice pair of trouser jeans to either wear around campus, or into work. Trouser jeans are especially divine because you can pair them with all of the above wardrobe pieces! Try Banana Republic, or even Kohl’s for jean options.

Men Black V-Neck Tee. Men, you absolutely cannot live without a basic black v-neck tee. This is the perfect item to create that stylish look without spending a lot, or putting in a lot of effort. Pair a v-neck with jeans and a cool belt, and you are ready for the day. Just pick up a Hanes tee next time you run to Target or Kmart.

Converse Sneakers. I believe converse sneakers are the absolute cheapest and most timeless choice for casual, male footwear. Maybe this is because I essentially wear them every day! Stop by Kohls or Journeys to pick these up as soon as possible.

Black or Grey Cardigan. A cool, un-buttoned cardigan is a great way to have a sophisticated, but casual and fun look. Cardigans are great because you can pair them with everything from a V-neck tee, or a cool button-front shirt. Try J. Crew or H & M for inexpensive cardigans.

WhiteButton-Front Shirt. Let’s be honest, a basic white button-front shirt is essential in any man’s wardrobe because you can either pair one with jeans for a cool, casual look, or pair it with a suit and tie for the professional world. Just make sure to iron it to have that crisp, timeless look.

Dark-Wash Straight Leg Jeans. Just like the ladies, a dark-wash jean is ideal for any man. Again, you can pair a great dark-wash straight leg jean with any of the above items to really have perfect, easy style.

Garett Laugavitz

Editorial Staff The ancient Mayan calendar supposedly predicts the end of the world on the winter solstice, Dec. 21, 2012. Planetary alignment and physical changes occurring on the sun, cause cataclysmic natural disasters plunging the world into chaos as mankind loses its humanity. Metaphors split conveniently down the middle drawing parallels between the fate of the world and the state of the main characters’ family. At one point it seemed as if the world really was coming to an end as the alignment of every Hollywood cliché fell into place causing the earth’s B.S.-o-meter’s readings to go off the charts. At a staggering 158 minutes the world could have ended twice over the span of this film and would have been a welcomed act of mercy. Assuming they’d be seeing a movie of raucous special effects and exploding spectacle for its own sake, moviegoers instead were forced to endure plot and subplots of epic tedium. How can one identify with these characters emotionally when WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE!? Not even John Cusack’s acting could save the static script from annihilation-alaboredom. Playing a father and separated husband, Cusack’s

character is the author of a poorly selling inspirational novel jammed into the plot like a square peg in a round hole in a forest fire. The co-protagonist, a geologist played by Chiwetel Ejiofor of “Inside Man” and “American Gangster,” fights against what becomes politics as usual revolving around the survival strategy of the wealthy. The entire 2012 phenomenon, this perversion of reality, is almost more shameful than the gimmicks employed in the movie itself. Despite every television broadcast cutting out at the most haunting and harrowing moment, the sensationalism behind this apocalyptic theory is what’s most troubling. Like all pseudoscience posing as truth, there are ridiculous claims and piles of cash to be made. Having gained traction on the internet over the past decade or two, this doomsday hullabaloo appears to have moderate market viability via the gullible and foolish. Whether or not you’ve gotten your copy of How to Survive 2012: Tactics and Survival Places for the Coming Pole Shift is a different matter entirely as I have bought the only remaining copies left in print. As for this disastrous piece of cinematography, I rate it two unapologetic Pio Pinkies down. Fire and brimstone and more fire may make for a blockbuster hit at the box office, but only those with the sense to skip this one will truly survive 2012.

Women’s Soccer threepeats in MWC tourney Justin Koepsell Editorial Board

The Midwest Conference Women’s Soccer Tournament made its second visit to Carroll University in three years as four teams played for an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament. Carroll University was the one seed and was hosting the tournament by virtue of winning the conference championship with a 9-0-0 record. Their opponent for the semifinal match was Lawrence University. In a match that showcased two of the best offenses in the nation, with Carroll second and Lawrence sixth, the defense shone through for the majority of the night. Carroll struck first in the 17th minute when Kate Tarquino put a rocket in off of a free kick to give the Lady Pioneers a 1-0 lead. Lawrence would answer five minutes later as Mallory Koula added to her team-leading goal total to knot the game at one. The defenses took over by not allowing either side a goal throughout most of the game. Lindsey Ahlen from Lawrence did a great job in the net for the Vikings with 11 saves. It looked as though the game might be headed to overtime, until Leah Wiercinski scored the game winning goal from more than 30 yards out in the 88th minute for a final score of 2-1. “When you get to this point in the season the key is to win and move on,” said Head Coach Jason Bretzmann. In the other semifinal St. Norbert College defeated Lake Forest College 3-2 to set up a rematch of last year’s Midwest Conference Tournament

Championship Game which Carroll won 4-2 in De Pere, Wis. The final game was evenly fought through much of the first half. In the 43rd minute Cody Callender found the back of the net to give the Lady Pioneers a 1-0 lead at halftime. The Green Knights wouldn’t go away and would keep Carroll fans on the edge of their seats through much of the second half. Finally, in the 80th minute Kelly Moran found Amanda Leach to score an insurance goal and put Carroll up 2-0. “The entire team stepped up,” said Coach Bretzmann. “We had some injuries from the previous day that we had to deal with.” “The whole season we set goals and went about and met them,” said Coach Bretzmann. Carroll went 11-0-0 on the year against Midwest Conference opponents. The first time they have managed that feat since 2007. It also gave them the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. It marked their third consecutive trip to the National Tournament. In postseason awards for the Midwest Conference the Lady Pioneers swept the top spots. Callender won Offensive Player of the Year. Ashlee Reinke won Defensive Player of the Year. “If you asked them they would say the award is only possible with a good team around them,” said Coaach Bretzmann. Coach Bretzmann also was honored as the Coach of the Year for the third straight season. Tarquino and Kendell Uttech joined Callender and Reinke on the All-Conference First Team. Liz Melcher was named to the Second Team.

The Women’s Soccer Team won their third consecutive Midwest Conference Tournament and second conference title in three years.

Swim Teams vanquish MWC foes Justin Koepsell

Editorial Board The young Carroll University Swim team continued to learn the ins and outs of collegiate swimming when they had their first big invitational and their first races against Midwest Conference competition. The first out-of-state trip for the Pioneers was a venture to the University of Chicago for the Maroon Invitational. The men took fifth out of the six teams at the meet. Facing the toughest competition they have seen all year, Jake Schneider won the B Final of the 200-Yard Freestyle in 1:54.31 and took sixth in the 50-Yard Freestyle in 22.76 seconds. The 200-Yard Freestyle Relay of Schneider, Brenden Brunner, Alex Pechauer and Brian Roscoe took fifth in a time of 1:34.37. Arthur Thomas then took fifth in the 1 Meter Diving, ending with a score of 317.18 points. The women placed second of the six teams. Danielle Grzywa won the 100-Yard Breaststroke in 1:03.80. The 400-Yard and 800-Yard Freestyle Relays saw the Lady Pioneers take third

in both with times of 3:59.79 and 8:44.60 respectively. Kendra Seeholzer took fourth in the 50-Yard and 200-Yard Freestyle in 26.63 seconds and 2:09.32 respectively. The following weekend Carroll had her first home meet of the season when Beloit College, Ripon College and Marquette University’s Club Team came to visit. Both teams swept the challengers, winning each dual. The women won by at least thirty points over each foe. The men had a tougher time but came away with a victory over each rival. Grzywa won 200-Yard Freestyle and Breaststroke in times of 2:05.02 and 2:18.88 respectively. Sarah Kohlhorst ruled the distance events with wins in the 500-Yard and 1000-Yard Freestyle in times of 5:43.75 and 11:52.81 respectively. Seeholzer won the sprints with victories in the 50-Yard and 100-Yard Freestyle with times of 26.46 and 57.35. The 400-Yard Medley Relay won in 4:35.36 and Jordan Barclay won the 200-Yard Individual Medley Relay in 2:17.05. Emily Mattice added a win in the

200-Yard Butterfly in 2:41.76. For the men, Schneider won the 50-Yard and 100-Yard Freestyle in 22.60 and 50.52 respectively. Brunner took the 1000Yard Freestyle in 11:14.69 and Geoff Hiltgen won the 200-Yard backstroke in 2:16.43. The 400Yard Freestyle Relay added a win in 3:28.42. The following day, the alumni came to take on the current team. The alumni did well, but the athletes that were in season beat the returners. Men won 6051 and the women won 82-49. Sprints were the primary events contested. Taylor Pechauer made the biggest splash from the alumni with wins in the 50-Yard Freestyle and 100-Yard Breaststroke. He hit a provisional qualifying mark for the NCAA Division III National Championship in 2007 in the 100-Yard Breaststroke when he was still swimming for the Pioneers. The highlight for Women’s Alumni Team was the 200-Yard Medley Relay team of Emily Elstad, Kim Jansesn, Lindsey Clark and Tina Moser stealing a victory by less than half a second over the current Lady Pioneers.

Women’s Hoops hopes to rejoin MWC elite Justin Koespell Editorial Board

After an unusually down season, the Carroll University women’s basketball team is looking to move back into the Midwest Conference’s elite. They were picked to finish third in the conference among Midwest Conference coaches behind St. Norbert College and Ripon College. The Lady Pioneers jumped off to a good start last season as they were 13-3 and tied for first place in the Midwest Conference. Unfortunately, an injury to Lindsey Seewald and a very inexperienced team caused the season to unravel as they finished 1-6 down the stretch; missing their first conference tournament since 2005. “I can look back and say last year was okay,” said Head Coach Kris Jacobsen. “We needed to play young players. It’s over and we get some positives.” The Lady Pios will be captained by Leah Lemke and Seewald as they will start in the backcourt. The team will go as Seewald does. Coach Jacobsen mentioned that the team is in comfort zone when she is out there. Last season showed this but Coach Jacobsen was quick to mention that Seewald gained a lot from her time on the sidelines. “She is a smarter player now. She learned what her role is on the team,” said Coach Jacobsen. “She watched her games from last year and learned from previous mistakes.” Other notable returners will be first team all-conference forward Karen Hoewisch and post player Julie Groer. Both were freshmen last year and showed quick adjustment to the college

game. The team has several new faces because Coach Jacobsen has seven freshmen on the team; the most in her time coaching at Carroll. The upperclassmen will be expected to teach the younger talent as they work their way through the season. “I expect the freshmen to gradually improve and make the most of each opportunity they’re given,” said Coach Jacobsen. “There is potential and I am hoping to see improvement.” The Lady Pios will hit the ground running with a tough nonconference schedule. In their first game they took on Lakeland College. In a hard fought game they fell 80-88 in overtime. Foul trouble caught up to the Lady Pioneers as Groer was fouled out at the end of regulation and Lemke and Seewald were playing with four fouls each. Groer led the way with 21 points and 12 rebounds. Other non-conference games include #25 UW-Stout coming to Van Male Fieldhouse on Nov. 21 at 3p.m. and a trip to #14 University of Chicago on Nov. 24. “I think it’s imperative to play a very competitive non-conference schedule,” said Coach Jacobsen. “It prepares you for the conference schedule.” The Midwest Conference will feature a trip to St. Norbert on Jan. 27 and back-to-back games against the preseason conference’s best to finish the season when the Lady Pios travel to Ripon on Feb. 17 and St. Norbert comes to town on Feb. 20 at 2p.m. The Lady Pios’ next home game is Thursday when UWOshkosh comes to town. The tipoff is at 7p.m. in Van Male Fieldhouse.

Men’s Hoops to be led by a new coach and an All-American Stuart Weis Staff Writer

Pre-season All-American John Hoch plans to lead the pre-season Midwest Conference second-ranked Pioneers to their seventh straight 15-win season. Last season, Carroll finished third in the conference with a 12-4 Midwest Conference record, 16-8 overall. In the MWC tournament the team lost in the semifinals to the eventual champion Lawrence University. Carroll is seeking its first conference championship in school history. The Pioneers are overall a very young and inexperienced team with only two seniors and four juniors on the 17man roster, as well as only two returning starters. Only three returning players averaged more than two points per game: senior John Hoch, sophomore Kyle Jones, and senior Eric Thompson. Also, the top three rebounders from last season, Nathan Zimmerman, Josh Gould and Wes Ladwig, are no longer at Carroll. No player on the current roster has gotten more than three rebounds per game. John Hock was recently named d3hoops.com Third Team Preseason All-American

marking the second straight year the Pioneers have had a preseason All-American; recently graduated Wes Ladwig taking the honor last year. Coming into the fold to offset the departures of the upperclassmen are six new freshmen who will get quite a bit of floor time to gain experience. Other than Hoch and Jones, the remaining starting spots are still up for grabs. Along with the new players arrives a new coach, David Buchanan. Coach Buchanan was one of 200 applicants that looked into the Carroll opening. Buchanan’s previous job was at University Wisconsin-Superior. During his first season, the team improved its overall record by five wins and took the team to the semi-finals of the conference tournament for the second time in school history. Coach Buchanan feels as if the team is very talented, but does not set expectations in terms of number of wins. “Teams who focus on a set number of wins get stuck looking at an overall picture,” said Buchanan. “We are looking at one game at a time.” Buchanan wants the team to become the best it can be and feels the way to do that is to improve the team defense. Opponents shot over 45 percent against Carroll from the floor

and Buchanan wants decrease than number to at least 42 percent. He would be happy with the team if they accomplish that goal but said of the overall

success of the season, “obviously winning helps.” Carroll will play a lot more freshmen this season, specifically centers Andrew Rumler and

Taylor Patrick, who are expected to gain quite a few minutes on the floor. It is these two freshmen, along with junior Paul Grosshuesch, that will be counted on to replace the lost rebounding of Gould and Zimmerman. The Pioneers want this team to be one that the students can rally behind. Another goal of coach Buchanan is to make Carroll a tough place to play; a place that’s, “really loud, really tough. A nightmare for teams.” Pioneers have some tough out-of-conference games in the future, specifically the game against #13 UW-Whitewater at Carroll on Dec. 16. Other tough games are the two in conference against preseason favorite St. Norbert College on Jan. 27 at St. Norbert and the final game of the season Feb. 20 when the Green Knights come to Carroll. The Pioneers will open up their home slate on Nov. 28 with the Wisconsin Classic featuring four teams from the Milwaukee area. Concordia University of Wisconsin will play Carthage College featuring another preseason All-American Steve Djurickovic on Carthage. The game will take place 4p.m. Carroll takes the court at 6p.m. when they take on Wisconsin Lutheran College.

After a 1-4 start football team bounces back to // SPORTS WIRE end the season in the top half of the conference MEN’S BASKETBALL Josh DeGrasse-Baumann Staff Writer

Three straight wins capped off the season for the Carroll University football team, with the final one on Nov. 7 over the Lake Forest Foresters. A touchdown pass from Chris Casper to Tim Nass, with just over two minutes left in the game, gave the Pioneers a 9-3 lead. However, Ryan O’Laire missed the extra point, which provided Lake Forest with a chance to win the game. Lake Forest was unable to use the opportunity, throwing two incomplete passes before Evan Konetzke intercepted Geoff Sobey’s final pass of the game. This allowed the Pioneers to run out the rest of the game time. Statistically, both teams were fairly similar throughout the game, both putting up about 290 yards of total offense and turning the ball over three times. Carroll was able to come out with a win, though, after possessing the ball for almost seven more minutes then Lake Forest. “We were pleased with the victory,” Coach Henny Hiemenz said. “It’s the first time in nine years that we have beaten Lake Forest at home.” Joe Beckstrand led the Pioneers rushing attack by picking

up 116 yards on the ground. Casper threw for 156 yards, 121 of them to Nass. The strong defensive performance was led by Ryan McHale and Nick Swartz’s five solo tackles. Tim Losby, Kyle Bonin and Konetzke all picked off Foresters quarterback Geoff Sobey. The win gave Carroll a 5-4 record in the Midwest Conference and an overall record of 5-5. While not an overall pleasant season, Hiemenz said he was proud of his team. “I’m proud of the way the guys have handled it,” Hiemenz said. “They’re a relatively young team.” The team bounced back from a 1-4 start to end the season .500 and tied for fourth place in the Midwest Conference. Hiemenz expects the team to compete next season, specifically with the return of his coaching staff and many of the athletes. “I expect more,” the coach explained. “We’ve been picking off some benchmarks and putting ourselves in a position to be competitive.” The question of whether or not the 2010 Pioneers will have a competitive season will have to wait until next year to be answered. For now, the 2009 Pioneers can enjoy ending the season on a high note.
