Editorial Staff A full weekend of events at Carroll University just got fuller. If Family Weekend and a home football game wasn’t enough the Midwest Conference Men’s and Women’s Soccer Tournaments will also be in town for the weekend. This will mark the first time in Midwest Conference history that both tournaments will take place at the same stadium on the same weekend as Schneider Stadium will host the festivities. Parking will be a headache on Friday as the first game kicks off at 10a.m. Soccer games will continue through the day with the last game starting at 7p.m. as four men’s teams and four women’s teams battle for an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament. On Saturday the Carroll football team will host Lake Forest for their final game of the year before the Championship games for both the Men and Women wrap-up the weekend.

Officer Wellman: first lady of Public Safety Jordan Reyes Staff Writer
As of this past September, Public Safety welcomed Officer Marilyn Wellman. Not only is she the first female Public Safety officer at a school comprised of almost 70 percent females, but she is also a professor in the sociology department at Carroll. Officer Wellman brings 20 years of work and field experience as well as eight years teaching experience. She was honored when asked to join the Public Safety team. Having just started her second year at Carroll University, she also teaches Introduction to Criminal Justice, Criminology and Research Methods. Wellman said that her students have been receptive to the idea of her not only as a professor but also a safety officer. She is able to connect personal experiences with class lessons, and also brings in guest community guest speakers in order to offer her students varied methods of teaching. The work Wellman gets to do for safety gives her the sense that she is truly helping Carroll students and the community. She is able to offer a genuine sense of caring because she knows the students and school first-hand. Originally from Madison, Wis., Wellman attended Wheaton College in Illinois where she lived for some time. She has a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Criminology, a Masters in Criminal Justice Administration and is currently one year into her PhD; which is focused on the management side of Criminal Justice and Public Safety. Wellman stated, “I have three jobs: a mom, a teacher and

a safety officer.” All jobs that she is excited and proud to be doing. Wellman also expressed that she loves working at Carroll, and has found a group of people that can almost be like family to her. “To work in a place that you can be on a first-name basis with everyone is a unique and exciting feeling.” Wellman said. In addition to criminal justice, Wellman is also an Illinoiscertified EMT and hopes to
become the same in Wisconsin; a skill that she hopes to use in the future at Carroll. Wellman also hopes to assist with not only EMT services, but also CPR and AED training to others. “Students are feeling so pressured and I always see them rushing toward finishing school and starting a career, they need to take time and enjoy their Carroll experience,” Officer Wellman stated.
will have an average of fifteen to twenty representatives. As host, Carroll will have the most representatives; about forty-eight people. All Carroll Resident Assistants (RA’s) are expected to attend the conference or do prep work and clean up. In addition to RA’s, local professionals will attend. This year, Carthage College’s Athletic Director for Educational Services Gary Williams will speak at the conference. About 100-250 people are expected to attend the conference. A variety of topics will be discussed “...such as how to survive your first year as an RA and relaxation and de-stress techniques,” Cline said. RA’s will also discuss how to “structure a resume to reflect RA experience.”
The WAICU Conference will offer RA’s the ability to network. “It gives RAs a chance to see what life is like at other schools, to share stories and to build their job skills,” Cline said. “Being an RA can be a stressful job . . . [they] are not alone in the struggles they have.” At the WAICU Conference there will be a Swap Shop, which will give all the RA’s a chance to bring miscellaneous items such as Frisbees, cups, T-shirts, hats and glow sticks to share with RA’s from different schools in an effort to promote their school and share programming ideas. The conference will not only benefit RA’s but also residents: it will provide RA’s with ways to make residential life more enjoyable for students.

Staff Writer Carroll University is hosting the Wisconsin Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (WAICU) conference on Nov.14. WAICU is made up of several different divisions, but the upcoming conference will focus on the Resident Life division. Josh Cline, Area Director of Steele/Swarthout, is organizing the conference. “The location [of the conference] rotates between private schools but Carroll has never hosted it before,” said Cline. About eleven Wisconsin private colleges and universities are expected to attend the conference, and each institution

Tony Boehm: VISTA Volunteer Coordinator Emily Thungkaew
Editorial Staff As of August 2009, Tony Boehm has stepped into a new position at Carroll University as an Americore Volunteer in Service to America (VISTA). Having worked at a homeless shelter in Philadelphia, and traveled from college to college advocating smart voting during the 2008 presidential election, Boehm has an extensive background in community service and non-profit work. Boehm also brings a lot of experience and knowledge to the community. The position has come to Carroll with a three-year plan. The grant for the position, written by Marty Bledsoe, Christine Gravelle and Barbara Armstrong, was written last year with hopes of coming to fruition this fall. Boehm, being the first Americore VISTA, is paving the way this year for two more Americore VISTAS that will be replacing him in the next two. “One of the challenges is that it’s brand new, so I want to get out there as much as I can, but I can’t really do that until we have the guidelines to volunteering and strong community partners,” Boehm said. This position focuses more on volunteering as opposed to service learning, and he is specifically working on coordinating volunteer opportunities in the K-12 levels of education.
Boehm is one of about 30 Americore VISTA’s in the state, all part of the Wisconsin Campus Compact. Other schools with the same types of programs include University of Wisconsin- Madison, University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee, St. Norbert’s and Beloit. Boehm also attends conferences with other coordinators in order to brainstorm new ideas for volunteering, and creating an effective volunteer center at each of these schools. When asked what his primary goals were for his year at Carroll, Boehm stated, “I have to get out there and talk to students and see what they want to do…A lot will be connecting students’ strengths with what the community needs.” Gravelle expressed that she was excited about the new addition to Student Affairs, “... Especially considering that service learning and volunteerism are such hot topics, it’s a great service having one person to go to as a clearing house. It’s a more streamlined process for students to utilize opportunities that are already available as well as new opportunities that are presented.” Boehm’s office is located on the first floor of Kilgour in the Student Affairs department. He is open to inquiries about volunteering in the community for any student or organization. In closing, Boehm stated, “It’s a resource [for everyone], it’s going to be what we make of it.”

Standards for Carroll University student organizations have increased significantly this year to include more accountability, community service and campus-wide events. “[This is a] pilot program for student organizations. New expectations have started this year,” said Christine Gravelle, Student Affairs Coordinator. Earlier this year, Student Activities came up with new guidelines that each organization will be required to comply with. They will work in conjuntion with Student Senate and House of Organizations, the lower governing body of Carroll’s student governing body, to monitor the progress of each organization througout the year. In addition to monitoring progress, Student Senate and House of Organizations will be taking action upon organizations that do not comply with the new standards. “One of the main incentives student organizations have is to be recognized for their accomplishments within the community; this just solidifies what they are doing for the most part anyway,” said Gravelle. Not only do the organizations need to comply with these three new standards, but also need to be active participants in House of Organizations. “House of Organizations is a way for each org to be heard and represented in a governing body that works as a checks and balances system for Student Senate,” said Speaker of the House, Emily Thungkaew. Student Senate Treasurer Jill Griffis added that the House of Organizations also has voting rights for organization budgets.
According to Gravelle, the House of Organizations is functioning in a new way this year and is made up of over 50 delegates that meet on a regular basis to vote on and discuss organization- related topics. The Student Leader Handbook lists the obligations in which an organization needs to operate to maintain recognition status set by Student Activities, Student Senate and House of Organizations.
“Carroll is encouraging volunteering as a key component of the university experience, allowing students to connect to the community, learn outside the classroom environment, and develop the desire to serve throughout their time at Carroll and beyond.” --Dean of Students Dr. Barry
For accountability, each student organization is required to have a delegate to represent their group to the House of Organizations. Delegates present proposals on behalf of their student organizations and the House of Organizations, which acts as a peer committee. This allows reviews of the propsoals by other student organizations to either approve or deny it.
Also new in the handbook, each organization will need to participate in a volunteer venture on/off campus that betters the campus or community. Such activities are for the groups to decide with the community’s best interests in mind. Once an activity is selected, it must be approved by the Office of Student Activities. Dana Flemming, Carroll Activities Board House of Organizations delegate, said she likes the push for student organizations to be involved in volutneer projects. “I think it’s beneficial,” Flemming said. “I think it gets our campus out in the community.” Being a new program, Gravelle said, “there is not yet a minimum requirement ...but [it] will be resolved by next year.” Organizations have participated in volunteer opportunities in the past such as the Second Harvest Food Pantry, tutoring and United Way. “Tony Boehm from the Carroll Volunteer Center has been found to be a useful resource in finding a project to participate in with groups trying to find project work,” said Gravelle. According to an Oct. 22 Carroll Univeristy news release, Carroll recently launched a new volunteer center. “Carroll is encouraging volunteering as a key component of the university experience, allowing students to connect to the community, learn outside the classroom environment, and develop the desire to serve throughout their time at Carroll and beyond,” said Dean of Students Dr. Theresa Barry. Organizations that need guidance and direction can contact Student Organization Office or the Carroll Volunteer Center for help getting started.

Welcome to the City of Pewaukee Lake? If the city and village of Pewaukee merge, the new community might by named the City of Pewaukee Lake. Waukesha County Supervisor Dave Swan, a member of the Pewaukee Merger Committee, said the organization decided Oct. 29 that the new name should be considered along with naming it City of Pewaukee as they move forward with a potential referendum. City of Pewaukee Alderman Roger Hathaway, who also serves on the committee, said the idea of naming the new municipality City of Pewaukee Lake is something he is not favorable of, and that the vast majority of Pewaukee residents might not find it appropriate because they don’t live on the body of water. – Waukesha Freeman

Misplaced letter costs PepsiCo $1.26 billion What’s the cost of not showing up to court? For PepsiCo Inc., it’s a $1.26 billion default judgment. A Wisconsin state court socked the company with the monster award in a case alleging that PepsiCo stole the idea to bottle and sell purified water from two Wisconsin men. In court papers, PepsiCo claims it first received a legal document related to the case from the North Carolina agent on Sept. 15 when a copy of a codefendant’s letter was forwarded to Deputy General Counsel Tom Tamoney in PepsiCo’s law department. Tamoney’s secretary, Kathy Henry, put the letter aside and didn’t tell anyone about it because she was “so busy preparing for a board meeting,� PepsiCo said in its Oct. 13 motion to vacate. In seeking to dismiss the case, PepsiCo argues that the statute of limitations should preclude the lawsuit, brought 15 years after the company started selling Aquafina and more than two decades after the alleged confidential talks. Moreover, “the $1.26 billion judgment that has been entered is unprecedented in size and justice requires that PepsiCo have a chance to defend itself,� the company said. – National Law Journal

Carroll Adjunct Professor writes Ten Commandments of Baseball
Josh DeGrasse-Baumann
Staff Writer Baseball is more then just America’s pastime. At least, it certainly seems that way when a few basic baseball concepts are examined for what they’re really worth. J.D. Thorne, who will be teaching a class on labor and employment law at Carroll University next semester, has taken ten simple baseball rules, originally created by legendary manager Joe McCarthy, and transformed them into a book titled The Ten Commandments of Baseball. The idea for the book came about shortly after Thorne’s father passed away and the family discovered a card with McCarthy’s rules written on them. “I said, ‘I’m going to do something with this’,� Thorne reflected, noting a special importance of the cards from the start. It was when Throne was asked to give a speech that the book started to take shape. Thorne was faced with choosing a topic, so he decided to go with The Ten Commandments of Baseball. It was after two standing ovations that Thorne fully realized the value and potential of his idea. Since then, Thorne has published the book, but continues to give speeches at a variety of events, whether they are religious, business or simply community speeches. The concepts, he feels, are applicable to anything, and his successful speeches show that well.
While the book appears to be about baseball, Thorne describes it as a self-help book. Baseball is merely the example provided. Instead, the book, according to Thorne, is about finding personal value. “What about ‘run ‘em all out’?� Throne explained, “It’s about fighting the temptation to stop.� The phrase ‘run ‘em all out’ is baseball terms essentially telling players to make every effort to make a play, even if it seems unlikely. In his book, Thorne says the same concept applies to every other aspect of life. In that sense, Thorne described the book as a gift, a term he meant in two ways. The book has been a gift to him because of all of the pleasure that he got from writing it and getting feedback on it. However, he also meant it to say that the book should be given as a gift to both baseball fans and those in need of motivation. “The book is meant for enjoyment, meant for stimulation,� Thorne said. Enjoyment and stimulation, not baseball, are the key purposes of the book. Baseball has it’s role in the book, but it is that of a similar role it has in America. It’s a symbol, a representation of what the other
means. The Ten Commandments of Baseball can be found in most bookstores, as well as the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.

Family weekend Nov. 6Nov. 8 to feature Hollywood and fame Laura Pelnar Staff Writer
Many families are eager to participate in the numerous activities during Family Weekend Nov. 6 through Nov. 8.that will be sponsored by Campus Activities Board (CAB). This year’s theme is “Carroll Goes to Hollywood,” and will include five major events throughout the weekend. The famous, “Carroll Bingo” will kick off the weekend on Friday, where students and families can win tons of amazing prizes. This event is open to all Carroll students. On Saturday afternoon, there will be a new event entitled “Girl’s Day Out,” where students from a local cosmetology school will come to campus and discuss and practice beauty techniques that attendees can incorporate into their daily routines. Free passes for the football game will be handed out, and CAB is working on putting together a tailgating party before the game. Saturday will also include a fun game of “Hollywood Squares.” “I am told that someone will
be dressing up as Whoopi Goldberg at this event,” said Dayna McKilligin, campus programs chair for CAB. Sophomore Cassie Giller is excited for “Hollywood Squares.” Giller said, “I used to watch that show all the time when I was younger, and am most excited to see how the students at Carroll put it together.” While Bingo is open to all students, Girl’s Day Out, football passes and Hollywood Squares are all special activities for those families that have signed up for Carroll Goes to Hollywood. The final event on Saturday at 8 p.m. will be a performance from InPulse, a men’s acapella group from Minnesota. The performance will be held in the ballroom, and is open to all students. “This group of singers is phenomenal,” David Demick, president of CAB, said. Families were notified of this weekend with a postcard containing a website for online registration. Attendees will arrive on Friday Nov. 6 and check-in between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. in the Campus Center.

Editorial Staff Carroll alumnus Greg Barbera knows all too well about being busy while consumed with life after college. Once a student at Carroll University, he now holds the position of Sales Finance Manager at S.C. Johnson and Son, Inc. in Racine, Wis. Born in Aurora, Colo., Barbera and his family moved to Menomonee Falls, Wisc., where he grew up. He graduated from Menomonee Falls High and continued his education at Carroll, where he studied Finance with a focus on Economics and English Literature. “The combination may sound somewhat odd, but the broad-based education has taught me the importance of finding a balance in everything experienced in life,” explained Barbera. Other than devoting his time to school, Barbera took time and earned four letters in baseball, was team captain for two years and a two-year AllConference award winner. During his senior year, Barbera learned how to take his experience at Carroll and apply it to everyday personal and professional situations. “I was privileged to have been paired with Jeff Waller, a great mentor and distinguished Carroll alumnus.” After graduating in Dec. 2000, Barbera became an accounting intern for S.C. Johnson and Son, Inc. in Accounting for Corporate Control. He moved up to be a financial analyst; managing the budget and monthly financial data input. Barbera also maintained accounting records for the majority of the foreign holding companies owned by S.C. Johnson Parent Company.
In July 2001, Barbera became the cost analysit for the product supply finance department, where he prepared cost of sale standards and estimates, managed plant functional expense budgets, and provided financial support for all new products in the Aerosols and Component Plant, as well as all products within the IC/Shave business. From 2004 through 2006, Barbera moved up again to be the senior corporate auditor of Corporate Audit. He was on the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations where he performed risk assessments and audits designed to address risks and develop efficiencies brought forth by the Board of Directors and upper level management. “COSO provides guidance, critical aspects of organizational governance, business ethics, internal control, enterprise risk management, fraud and financial reporting,” said Barbera. Barbera was then promoted to sales finance manager, which is the position he currently holds. Supporting the Food Class of Trade and Broker Operations divisions for S.C. Johnson and Son’s North American business, Barbera is busy generating opportunities for incremental sales growth within the company. Thanks to his major in Finance with a focus on Economics, Barbera became a well known and respected team player for S.C. Johnson and Son, Inc. In addition to his day job, Barbera combines his passion for physical fitness with his business intelligence as the consulting director of business development for DC Hybrid Skating, LLC; a small but dynamic business created and operated by another Carroll graduate and friend. DC
Hybrid Skating is a high performance hockey training facility. “I wanted to continue to be a part of the Carroll community,” said Barbera. “I wanted to show my appreciation to help students, as alumnus and professors have helped me.” Barbera recently became the recipient of the Graduate of the Last Decade (GOLD) award. This award recognizes alumni who have distinguished themselves through early excellence in their professions, service to their community and service to Carroll. Barbera continued to be a part of the community by serving as a member of the Business Advisory Council for the Department of Business Administration, and serving the International Business Grant Advisory Board. “I was involved in writing the grant that results an award by the U.S. Department of Education to support the business, accounting and economics faculty.” When asked about what he is most excited for helping the Carroll community, Barbera explained “I am a strong believer that helping others is in the best interest of your mind, body and spirit.” He also goes to explain that no matter where he ends up in the future, he will continue to stay involved with Carroll’s students, faculty and staff. “The one thing I will say to students is to take advantage of everything Carroll has to offer you; knowing that you left nothing on the table while here.” Barbera is just one of the many distinguished alumni at Carroll.

Staff Writer The Carroll Players will perform the comedic musical “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” Nov. 13 through Nov. 15 in Otteson Theatre. This musical farce, set in ancient Rome, tells the story of a slave named Pseudolous as he attempts to gain his freedom by finding love for his master. “The show is about love and the complications of finding love,” said actor Justin Almquist. This comedic plot moves forward through hilarious characters, mistaken identities and hit songs. “My favorite part of the production was using movement to get a message across, and seeing how music motivates a character,” said choreographer Rayen Singletary. Director James Zager also enjoys the process. “My favorite part of directing this show is the cast and crew,” he said. “Rehearsals are really quite fun, and we spend a great deal of time laughing. Hopefully the audience will as well.” This musical is especially beneficial for Carroll students because it allows a broad range of students, many majoring in disciplines other than theatre, to showcase their talents. “Musicals are a good way to get the whole community involved because they incorporate many different components such
as dancing, acting and singing,” Almquist said. “I love playing characters that are totally different than me, and luckily was challenged to portray a character that was much older, and had to create a voice that suited the role.” This show is sure to be a hit among the Carroll community, and tickets are selling fast. “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum offers humor everyone can appreciate and it is a good break from reality,” commented Singletary. “This is a funny light hearted musical, and who could not use a laugh right now?” Zager said. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for seniors 60 and older/Carroll parents/Carroll alumni and free for students with a valid ID. Call 262.524.7633 for tickets, which are also available at the door.

OPINION
Carroll call to action: Waukesha Alderman Radish to remove crosswalk on East Ave. Melissa Graham Editorial Staff
A call to action has been sent out to all students to prevent the removal of the mid-block crosswalk on East Ave. between College Ave. and Wright St. Waukesha Alderman Randy Radish fully intends on introducing this item at the Building and Grounds Committee on Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. “That would make that street much less safe. There’s just too much volume,” Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services Ron Lostetter said. The crosswalk, near the bus stop, is a center point that connects the Campus Center and Voorhees, among other academic buildings. The crosswalk accounts for upwards of 2,000 crossings, according to Lostetter. The use of this crosswalk is not limited to students either. Other items up for discussion include more positive initiatives, such as adding a street light at Wright St. and East Ave. or placing LED pedestrian street crossing signs on East Ave., Wright St., East Ave. and McCall St. “We agree with the streetlight. We agree that there
should be LED crossing signs and I trust the Department of Public Works to help choose the locations,” added Lostetter. Residents expressed their complaints at the Waukesha Freeman’s Sound Off. “Another gripe – on the way back home from the post office, I waited seven minutes for the kids at Carroll University to cross East Avenue. They have four crosswalks in the space of one block, albeit a long block. Can’t our young, fit, 18- and 19-yearold students walk to the lightcontrolled crosswalk at East and College? Who approved these crosswalks and, more importantly, who paid for the signs etc.? I’m 70 years old, have bum knees and can still manage to walk to a corner to cross” an anonymous resident said. A shuttle has been organized by Student Senate President Ashley Frazier to take students to the meeting and back. The bus leaves the campus center parking lot at 6:30 p.m. Students are also encouraged to contact their District 11 representative, Alderman Randy Radish via mail 619 N. West Ave. Waukesha, WI 53186 or via telephone (262) 548-0738 with their concerns.
This Is It: Beat it to the box office Liz Accola
Editorial Staff The documentary concert film “This Is It” is anything but an extension of the draining, endless hype following Michael Jackson’s death. The late 50-year-old “King of Pop” proved in his final days that he was bound to live up to the title his own song – “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough.” The film is a digitally remastered compilation of rehearsal footage for the concert that would have been Jackson’s final performance series, appropriately titled “This Is It.” The film pieced together actual and computer animated scenes to lay out the show and give fans a taste of his highly anticipated “final curtain call.” All 50 performances, which were scheduled to run at London’s O2 Arena starting in July, were sold out barely two weeks before his death on June 25. The years of nasty tabloids, criminal allegations, and pessimistic speculation of his health seemed to fade away during the opening performance of “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’.” Jackson’s classic moves were solidly superior to his young backup dancers and his distinct voice seemed untouched by decades of singing. In addition to performances, the documentary showed behind-the-scenes footage the dancers, musicians, directors, and crew as they developed an updated, state-of-the-art show respective to Jackson’s legacy. Some of the most interesting
footage showed the pre-filming process for videos that would be projected as backdrops. Jackson and his dancers recreated and revamped segments from some of his music videos, including “Smooth Criminal” and “Thriller.” It was difficult to remain seated while classic favorites such as “Beat It,” “Black or White,” and “Billy Jean” pump through the theatre. Fans of Jackson’s music will appreciate rediscovering the beats, moves, and vocal decorations that made his songs catchy and lovable in the first place. The only criticism I have of this film, particularly because of the nature of its creation, would be the song selection. Big hits such as “Bad,” “P.Y.T.,” and “Dirty Diana” were missing while the less popular “Speechless” and “The Love You Save” made the cut. “This Is It” premiered Oct. 28 and will only run for a short time in theaters. Showings are available in both regular and IMAX theatres.

Hate Crime and Anti-Discrimination Laws are Finally Here Luke Bennewitz
Staff Writer When legislation is proposed preventing discrimination and higher penalties for hate crimes, actual laws that are produced are few and far between. However, on Oct. 28, President Obama signed into law the federal Hate Crime Prevention Act (HCPA) to extend hate crimes to include “sexual orientation” in addition to religion, race, gender, and ethnicity. This new law has given members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender (LGBT) community reason to breathe easily; however, this law was a little too late, especially for Carroll University. In mid-October, there was an assault on Carroll’s campus stimulated by hatred towards the gay community. The victim was rushed to the hospital with support from Public Safety, which did not seem to take the situation as a “serious hate crime”. Does this not seem unjust? Should seeing these types of actions as unacceptable not have to be stated on a piece of paper but just genuinely accepted as a guiding principle of society? From a certain perspective, American citizens see hate crime legislation as a way to finally set the standard that this is not acceptable: a way to heal the wounds of decades of discrimination. However, certain religious groups and members of society see hate crime legislation as unconstitutional and a way to limit rights freedom of speech. Even a Republican Congressman from Indiana, Mike Pence, was quoted saying, “The president has used his position as commander in chief to advance a radical social agenda, when he should have used it to advance legislation that would unequivocally support our troops.” How can preventing crimes fueled by hatred towards the LGBT community be seen as a “radical social agenda?” I would bet that if some of our most
powerful politicians were in the same boat as groups being discriminated against, their views would dramatically change. For example, if Jim Sensenbrenner, Wisconsin’s 5th District, including Waukesha County, Congressman had seen the members of the LGBT community denied jobs based on who they love, then maybe he wouldn’t have voted “no” to the Employment Non-Discrimination Act in 2007. (Note to Congressman Pence: having a Commanderin-Chief that is not only focused on military actions but minority groups’ concerns is why I voted him into office.) Furthermore, the HCPA can do more than just invoke higher penalties for hate crimes based on sexual orientation. To paraphrase Examiner.com, the new law will make it harder to pass state laws that discriminate against sexual orientation, such as laws similar to Proposition 8 in California and Question 1 in Maine. Not only this, but I have a small inkling that the Defense of Marriage Act and the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policies initiated from president’s past will be repealed. In closing, I ask the entire Carroll community to think about what it would be like to be in a minority group, whether you are already in one or not. If you were persecuted for a certain aspect of yourself that you could not change, how would that make you feel? If you grew up in a society knowing that there were no laws to protect you from being mistreated, would you not strive for some form of protection from a higher authority? Quite honestly, I am livid by hearing about the numerous accounts of social injustice occurring in our society towards minority groups, through physical actions and verbal harassment in our country and on Carroll’s campus. If we are committed to accentuating diversity and providing equality to all aspects of life, can we not just live and let live?

Dave Buchanan leads the men’s hoops team into a new era Justin Koepsell Editorial Staff
When the Carroll University Men’s Basketball team takes the floor this winter, they will have a new coach roaming the sidelines as Dave Buchanan replaces Dave Shultz who resigned this past June. The Watertown, Wis. native came to Carroll after a two year head coaching stint at the University of Wisconsin-Superior. A team known as a bottom dweller in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, known as one of the toughest Division III conferences in America, was turned around under Buchanan as the Yellow Jackets won their first conference tournament game since 2000. Before being the head coach at UW-Superior, Buchanan spent time at several other schools. His coaching career began as a student assistant in 1995 at University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. From there he went on to become the head coach of the varsity girls’ basketball team at Shorewood High School where he also taught health and physical education. In 1997 he headed to Greenfield High School to take over the boys’ varsity job. In his second season he lead the Hustlin’ Hawks to their first conference championship since 1968
when they knocked off New Berlin West in the final game of the season. “Carlo Emanuele hit a game winner with four seconds left over Jason Chappel,” said Buchanan. Carlo Emmanuele would later go on to play for the Pioneers from 2000-2002. A couple of years later Greenfield would win another conference title. From there he went to take the coaching job at Brookfield East High School in 2003. A year later he went on to become an assistant coach in the college ranks at University of Wisconsin-Parkside. He was also the head of recruiting. “Every school has its pros and cons when it come to recruiting,” said Buchanan. “Parkside doesn’t have football, really isn’t in a city and is very quiet on the weekends. But we had scholarship money to offer and played in the best conference [Great Lakes Valley Conference] in Division II.” Buchanan’s first recruiting class would go on to earn UWParkside its first NCAA Tournament berth. In 2006 Dave Buchanan was named the head men’s basketball coach at the University of Wisconsin-Superior. In his first season in Northwestern Wisconsin Buchanan’s team went 7-18. The following season they went 12-15 and went for a wild ride in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference Tournament. After a Senior Night win over UW-Platteville on Feb. 16, the Yellow jackets headed to Hancock, Mich. for a nonconference battle with Finlandia University on Feb.19. A slow drip from the roof directly above the coach’s chair caused Buchanan to have to stand for the whole game. On Feb. 22 the team headed down to Oshkosh to take on the Titans for the final game of the season the next day. They came away with a win setting up a first round conference tournament game at Oshkosh. The Yellow Jackets stayed in Oshkosh and practiced at Lawrence University in nearby Appleton before taking the floor on Feb. 25 for a rematch with the Titans. UW-Superior won by one point setting up a semifinal encounter with UW-Whitewater on Wednesday. They stayed in Oshkosh one last night before heading to Fort Atkinson on Feb. 26 to practice in the high school there. They stayed overnight in Fort Atkinson before playing the Warhawks the next day. UW-Whitewater won by four ending the Yellow Jackets’ season sending them back to Superior. “It was great,” said Buchanan. “It was fun hanging out with the team, we ate at Rocky Rococo’s a lot.” In all, the six day five night trip covered 830 miles.
The next year the Yellow Jackets lost the final game of the season at home to UW-Oshkosh ending their season “It was tough,” said Buchanan. “We needed that game to make the conference tournament. We had three starters hurt and could never get that spark.” Buchanan grew up in Watertown and played basketball at Watertown high school before graduating in 1990. He says he knew what he wanted to do in life by the time he was a fifth grader at Webster Elementary School. “I would organize tourneys at recess,” said Buchanan. “Twoon-two coed games, NCAA Tournament style.” One of his favorite sports memories growing up was watching Watertown make it to the state basketball tournament in 1983. “I was standing behind the backboard at the Fieldhouse in Madison,” said Buchanan. “Watertown beat Wisconsin Rapids in overtime to make it to the championship game.” Other moments were the 1977 NCAA National Championship where Marquette beat North Carolina and the 1980 Miracle on Ice when the United States beat the Soviet Union. In high school, playing for the Goslings, Buchanan’s team beat Germantown in the regional final his senior year. They advanced to play Oconomowoc in
the sectional at Whitefish Bay in front of 4,000 people. “The last game of high school you feel terrible because it’s over,” said Buchanan. “I was lucky because I was able to continue playing.” Buchanan continued his career at UW-La Crosse. He played from 1992-1995 and currently ranks 18th on the all-time careers list with 100 three-pointers made. His favorite moment from playing for the Eagles came when he was five-for-five from the arch on his Senior Night as UW-La Crosse beat perennial conference power UW-Stevens Point. Dave Buchanan looks forward to continuing where Dave Schultz left off. Carroll currently has the longest active streak of Midwest Conference Tournament appearances at six. “It’s special to be at Carroll,” said Buchanan. “There is such a sense of tradition and I meet a lot of people care about this program.” Buchanan is happy to be back near his hometown with his wife, Heather. After being on the other side of the state for three years they look forward to living in the Milwaukee area. “I want to move this program forward,” said Buchanan, “winning conference championships and even national championships and get mentioned with the great sports programs.”

Football wins two straight Justin Koepsell Editorial Staff
After a disappointing 1-4 start to the season, the Carroll University football team has won three of their last four games, including their last two, and look to finish the year in the top half of the Midwest Conference standings. “I’m proud of how the team has handled the season,” said Head Coach Henny Hiemenz. “The team has stayed together and continued to improve and have a chance to end the season the right way with a win.” The longest road trip of the season for the Pioneers sent them to Galesburg, Ill. for a battle with Knox College on Homecoming Day for the Prairie Fire. The Pioneers weren’t kind to their hosts as they came away with 28-7 victory allowing just 137 yards of offense by Knox. Drew Volkman led the Pio rushing attack with 105 yards. Chris Casper kept the offense two- dimensional by throwing for 191 yards, 74 of which were to wide receiver Tim Nass. On the defensive side of the ball, Nick Swartz and Shaun Banta both had interceptions and Colin Steiner had two sacks on the day. The following week, the
Pioneers headed to the Banta Bowl in Appleton, Wis. to take on the Vikings of Lawrence University. Casper’s passing game accounted for three touchdowns and 263 yards as the Pioneers came away with a 26-3 victory. Nass had 165 yards and two touchdowns to lead a receiving core that gained 276 yards. Michael Otto had a good game with six tackles and an interception. “We took care of business in both games offensively, defensively and with special teams,” said Coach Hiemenz. “These were the types of outcomes we are capable of.” With the two most recent wins, the Pioneers move to 4-4 in conference play. The Pioneers play their final game of the season at noon on Saturday against Lake Forest College. The game will be at home at Schneider Stadium. “Lake Forest is going to be a challenge,” said Coach Hiemenz. “They are a much better team than their 2-7 record indicates and are a better football team than our last two opponents.” Congratulation goes out to the JV football team who finished their season 3-0. They defeated Concordia University of Wisconsin 16-0 at home, won at Lakeland College 14-6 and beat UW-Milwaukee 28-6 in a home contest.
Swimming opens season Justin Koepsell Editorial Staff
The Carroll University Swimming and Diving team opened up their season with two road duals meets against University of Wisconsin schools.

Jake Schneider won the 50 and 100 yard freestyle to lead the Pioneers. On the women’s side Jordan Barclay started this season where she left off, winning the 200 yard individual medley and the 100 yard breaststroke.

The teams will have their first home meet when on Nov. 13 at 6p.m.

Volleyball pulls off upset to end 2009 campaing Justin Koepsell Editorial Staff
The Carroll University’s Volleyball season wound down with a four game tournament at UWWhitewater, followed by two home games against conference opponents. The tournament was rough for the Lady Pioneers, who won only a single match, giving them their three wins. They would be swept in each of the other three games. Carroll’s first match, against Central College, showed a strong start by the Lady Pioneers, but ended in a 3-0 loss. Heather Kulibert led Carroll’s offense with six kills. Carroll would go on to beat Coe College in their second match of the day, taking three of five games. The match was extremely close in each game, with the highest score differential being seven points in the fourth game. Emily Goebert led the team with 14 kills out of Carroll’s 54. St. Norbert College would hand Carroll their second loss of the event on day two of the tournament. Being swept 3-0, the Lady Pioneers fell to a 12-16 record on the season, and 1-2 for the tournament. The final match of the weekend was against the undefeated UW-Oshkosh team. Carroll would drop game one fairly quickly, losing 25-14, but would make a strong push in the final two games, losing 30-28 and 27-25 respectively, before being swept for the final game of the tournament. Goebert and Kulibert led Carroll with eight kills each.
“Our record doesn’t really show how good we are,” Megan Falk said, reflecting on the season, “We had a good game against one of the best teams.” Carroll would return home to play their final two matches of the season. Carroll’s Oct. 28 match against Lake Forest started off well, with Carroll managing to win the first game 30-28, ending a streak of six consecutive lost games. Unfortunately, that would be the Lady Pioneers’ only win of the night, dropping the next three games despite Kulibert finishing with another 14kill game. For the final match of the season, Carroll defeated Ripon College 3-1. Taking an early 2-0 lead for the match, the Lady Pioneers dropped game three before ending the season with a 25-17 win in game four. “We had really high hopes,” Falk said, “and we’ve been really competitive all season.” Unfortunately, the Pioneers end the season with an overall record of 14-17, and only 3-6 against Midwest Conference opponents. Falk is hopeful for next season, despite the loss of four seniors and the leadership they bring. “It’s going to be hard to replace them,” she said, “but we have a good mix of talented players.” While the season is disappointing for the team, Falk said that it had its positive aspects, and, overall, was a good season with a fun, competitive group. Since the Lady Pioneers missed out on the Midwest Conference Tournament, they won’t return to action until next season, but they have high expectations for the future.

Cross Country takes 2nd and 7th Josh DeGrasse-Baumann Staff Writer
The Midwest Conference Championship ended in disappointment for the Carroll University Cross Country teams with the women placing 2nd and the men placing 7th out of the ten conference schools. Rock Cut State Park in Loves Park, Ill. was the site of the event. Unfortunately, rainy conditions all week left the course muddy and treacherous. The Lady Pioneers took second, nine points behind Grinnell College, despite being the favorites of the event. Four Carroll runners were in the top twenty, but Grinnell took the event with the help of three of the top ten runners. Megan O’Grady led the Lady Pios, managing to win the individual championship by posting a time of 22:26.29; nearly a minute faster than run-
ner-up and the 2008 individual champion Jenny Scherer from St. Norbert College. O’Grady, Jessica Laurin, Michelle Weber and Kaitlin Daugherty finished with All-Midwest Conference performances. Unfortunately, the Men’s team managed to take only seventh place as a team, finishing with a score of 170; two points behind fifth place Lawrence University. None of the Pioneers finished in the top twenty. AJ Sobrilsky was the first Pioneer to finish, with a time of 28:21.91. This awarded him 21st place, but left him missing All-Conference by one spot. Three more Carroll runners Joe Pliner, Joe Zambetti and Matt Hoffman would take 37th, 49th and 50th place, respectively. “It’s disappointing,” said Coach Shawn Thielitz. “The results don’t show how far the team has come.” Thielitz was unwilling to call
the season a success, but didn’t want to call it a failure either. “I’m proud of the way the guys fought,” he said. “We’re still an elite team in the conference.” Looking forward to next season isn’t easy either. Both teams are losing several senior runners, many of who make up the top five. “These seniors are the ones who built this program up,” Thielitz said, “It’s tough to say good-bye.” With the loss of the seniors, Thielitz looks for the underclassmen to step up next season, but said that it was his job to figure out how to get the team over the hump. Carroll heads to Lake Breeze Golf Course in Winneconne, Wisc. for the NCAA Division III Midwest Regionals Nov. 14, where they’ll attempt to qualify for the National Meet a week later.

Editorial Staff Carroll University’s Women’s Soccer team won their second Midwest Conference Championship in three years with a commanding 3-0 victory over St. Norbert College in De Pere, Wis. on Halloween. “We expected to win [the conference] coming into the season,” said Forward Cody Callender, who had the game winning goal in the eighth minute. Liz Melcher and Kendell Uttech also added insurance goals sealing the conference crown. The Lady Pioneers faced tough competition in a trip to UW-Stevens Point for a nonconference showdown between regionally ranked teams on Oct. 25. UW-Stevens Point came out on top with a 3-2 win. Carroll played even with the Pointers in the first half with a 2-2 tie after goals by Uttech and Melcher. The Pointers went on top when Kirsti Nickels scored the second goal of the day in the 65th minute. “It was a disappointing game,” said Forward Uttech. “The score didn’t reflect who the better team was.”
The Lady Pioneers returned home to play UW-La Crosse and they bounced back with a 2-0 win as Callender and Amanda Leach both scored putting Carroll back on the left side of the ledger. With the Midwest Conference Championship, Carroll has earned the right to host the conference tournament; where the winner will receive an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament. Carroll faces fourth place Lawrence University in a semifinal match beginning at 7 p.m. on Friday. “The key is to not overlook anyone,” said Goal Keeper Ashlee Reinke. Reinke was named Midwest Conference Defense Performer of the Week this past week for her efforts in the UW-La Crosse and St. Norbert games. The Midwest Conference Championship is the fourth in program history and third in Head Coach Jason Bretzmann’s coaching career at Carroll. “These are some great people and soccer players,” said Coach Bretzmann. “They put in a lot of time to get where they’re at and a lot of people think they aren’t done yet.
