ÔWilliam WallaceÕ to lead ÔThe Odd CoupleÕ goes female Carroll student body next year BY

SARAH SCHLEICHER News Editor

Braveheart is his favorite movie.

Why? ÒMel Gibson is just an incredible burst of passion. At the end, especially when heÕs getting his insides torn out, all he would have had to have done was whisper mercy, but he wouldnÕt. He stuck to what he believed in,Ó said junior Mick Linse, recently elected to be next yearÕs Student Senate president.

These are the qualities Linse admires in a leader. So, what qualities does Linse have to offer the student body? ÒI know a lot of people know him, and I know he is highly respected among his peer students, and I know if you would say his name, they know who he is.

I think thatÕs very good for a president,Ó said Junior Brad Nehrbass, current Student Senate president.

Over the past year, Nehrbass has worked closely with Linse on the Student Senate executive committee. Brad

emphasized LinseÕs work with reshaping the treasury as something that impressed him. ÒOne of the things that definitely stands out in my mind is when he came in as treasurer, and we sat down and talked about some of his ideas. He blew my mind, he really did. How he wanted to change the treasurer position,Ó said Nehrbass. ÒHe put everything in order and organized it, and that hasnÕt been done in three years, at least three years ago, when it was very meticulous and to the point, and Mick has gotten back to that. Those are some great qualities for a treasurer, especially with our budget.Ó As Nehrbass gets ready to step down and make way for Linse, does he see any problem areas with CarrollÕs new student leader? ÒI see no problem with it. I see absolutely no problem at all. I think heÕs going to make an excellent president, I really do,Ó Nehrbass said.

With the current presidentÕs praise, Linse ran unopposed in the April 3 and 4 elections. The only thing in his way was the possibility of a write-in candidate winning, much like in the Oconomowoc mayoral race.

One write-in candidate, Gumby, got LinseÕs attention. The potential for a write-in to overcome Linse was not enough, however, and he came away unscathed.

What does this virtually unopposed president-elect have in store for Student SenateÕs next academic year? ÒThe main goal is to improve the two way communication Ð meaning that we need to take advantage of the opportunities that Senior Staff has recommended, saying we are willing to respond to your input,Ó said Linse. While communication with administration is at the forefront, there are other on-going issues to which

The studentÕs choice, upcoming senior Mick Linse will lead Senate in the 2002-2003 school year.

Net-savvy Texan contacts Waukesha police, causes ruckus

Waukesha Police received a call early Monday morning, Feb. 25, concering a female threatening to commit suicide at the North Bergstrom dorm located at 135 S. East Ave. The call was made to the police by an individual in Texas who said that he had been corresponding via the Internet with the girl. The caller thought that there was a need for police, Òto check on the well-being,Ó of this person according to Lt. Bill Graham. The call was received at 4:25 a.m.

The police department dispatched cars to North Bergstrom and went to the room in which the girl had been residing. The officers made contact

with a person in the dorm who said that the girl in question had left the room.

The officers then went outside where they saw a girl walking. They stopped her and asked her for her name. She provided a false name and then took off running. The officers pursued and tackled her on the south side of the South Bergstrom building at 4:57 a.m.. She was then handcuffed. When searching her, the officers found a razor in her pocket. There were superficial striation marks on her wrists. The girl was then taken to the Center for Behavioral Health at Waukesha Memorial Hospital.

The police issued two citations to the girl, one for obstructing and the other for resisting, both related to her arrest. She will not receive any jail time but will receive fines. It is not known whether or not the girl is a student at Carroll College.

NEWS Temporary fence around Main Lawn defended BY

AARON BECKER Staff Writer

During the springtime, it is common for college students who are ill with cabin fever to abandon their dorms and head for campus green space, where airborne Frisbees, friendly conversations and napping abound on warm, dry days.

Most colleges offer green space in some form or another, and many students happily use such space for recreation and social gathering.

Carroll College, of course, is no exception.

But for the second year in a row, Main Lawn, CarrollÕs largest area of green space, is fenced off. Unlike last year, when the entire lawn was unavailable, this year only the middle Ð the most damaged portion Ð is fenced off. Even with the modified fencing scheme, however, it is nearly impossible for students to enjoy the area.

Dennis Wollenzein, CarrollÕs grounds superintendent of nearly 20 years, said the fence was erected due

April wastelands to ÔFantasy IslandÕ: a long-awaited rescue

BY TABITHA MENNING Arts & Entertainment Editor Snow in April, will it ever end? One thing guaranteed to bring a little sunshine into anyoneÕs life is Spring Fling on April 19! This yearÕs theme, ÒFantasy IslandÓ, sounds promising.

The day will start off with DJ Scott Parr at 10 a.m. Parr has DJÕd for Carroll quite a few times in the past. HeÕll be playing tunes until 1 p.m.

There will also be musical performances from the top three bands that participated in the ÒBattle of the BandsÓ the week prior to Spring Fling. They will be voted on after their performance.

Who could ever forget Pat McCurdy? HeÕll be onstage right after the battling bands with his usual antics and quirky lyrics.

Following Pat McCurdy, the Sober Fling Raffle will take place. There will be between $300-$400 worth of prizes this year- so get to practicing! To participate, one simply has to register at the

information desk and sign something saying that theyÕll remain sober until 2 p.m. Easy enough, right?

Also like last year will be the everpopular Go-Fish game which will take place the week of Spring Fling. One must sign up for this one, too. After that, a name of one of the other players will be issued to another player. The object is to squirt that person with a water gun before they squirt you. When there are 10 players left, the game will end and one of those 10 people will be chosen in a drawing and announced on the 19th.

Events will take place throughout the day and thereÕs something for everyone! The Climbing Wall will continue to challenge people as some will remember from last year. Some new things to look forward to will be the obstacle course, jousting competition (similar to American Gladiators) and human bowling in which an individual will climb into a cage that resembles a hamster ball and roll down the lane to knock over the pins.

Freaky Snapshots will be taken

throughout the day. These, in case you are wondering, are pictures with your image superimposed in front of a background such as a pyramid or the Eiffel Tower. Freaky Snapshots will unfortunately take the place of the caricature from last year that created long lines and an unpleasant caricature artist.

All of these events will no doubt make many people hungry so itÕs a good thing that Sodexho is offering lunch just as it did last year, outdoors. Hotdogs, hamburgers and much more will be available. There may even be a sno-cone machine or a mock-tail bar this year but there are no promises.

What more could one possibly expect? The Delta Rho Epsilons will be hosting a Baseketball tournament which is sure to bring some more fun to the day. The Delta Zetas will be hosting a fundraising event called ÒKissed by a DZÓ in which a Hershey Kiss can be purchased for $0.50. More fundraising will include the Greek CouncilÕs ÒPie in the FaceÓ contest. There are still lookSee Spring Fling Page 8

Main Fence/a Ônew perspectiveÕ from the other side of Main Lawn From Page 3

During the summer of 2000, CarrollÕs five-member grounds crew completely refurnished the lawn with seed and fresh topsoil to the tune of about $5,000. The lawn, however, had to be re-seeded and fenced the following spring because it was damaged due to students playing on it during wet conditions.

The lawn again became damaged during this yearÕs mild winter due to rough play in wet conditions, Wollenzein said. Hence, the lawn had to be seeded again, and the plastic mesh fence was erected for the second year in a row. ÒThereÕs a handful of kids that have basically determined this for the rest of the campus,Ó he said. ÒIf the kids would just stay off it when itÕs wet, it would help the [young] grass get established. They donÕt really damage it when itÕs dry.Ó Wollenzein said it takes between one and two complete growing seasons for newly seeded grass to develop fully. When the grass becomes

mature, it forms a dense mesh of roots that cannot be damaged as easily as a lawn of young grass. ÒThat area still hasnÕt had the time to establish itself,Ó Wollenzein said. ÒThe kids just go crazy on it.Ó Jon Milne, director of CarrollÕs physical plant, expressed remorse that there is limited green space available to students now that Main Lawn has been fenced. ÒItÕs a shame we donÕt have any other place for (the students) to play,Ó Milne said.

Milne agreed, however, that the administrationÕs decision was a wise one. He suggested students use the space behind Main Hall instead, but he acknowledged that this area is not as accommodating as Main Lawn due to random trees, walkways and picnic tables.

Carroll has not always had a history of limited green space. The parking lot between the Bergstrom Complex and Kilgour Hall, as well as the parking lot behind Steel and Swarthout Halls, used to be green space before these areas were paved

in 1999 due to demand for more parking spaces, Wollenzein said.

Currently, the fenced lawn is showing signs of growth and development, according to Wollenzein. He speculated that Main Lawn would not need to be fenced next spring if students do not play during wet conditions. He encourages the sports players to use a Òno rain, no playÓ policy.

Some students, however, are upset that Main Lawn is currently unavailable. ÒI think itÕs pointless,Ó freshman Sean Cundy said. ÒItÕs basically the biggest area on campus where you can get a group of kids together to do something, whether itÕs throw a Frisbee or play football. They wonÕt let you on the practice field; they wonÕt let you on the football field.Ó Cundy said it is not only a certain group of kids who use the lawn for recreation.

Junior Robert Baumann offered a similar perspective. ÒThe fact is this is our campus,Ó he said. ÒRight now when they have this thing fenced off, thatÕs when peo-

ple want to go and play Frisbee and sunbathe on it.Ó Baumann, who used to work for the campus physical plant, said it is foolish to deny students access to the lawn for nearly the entire spring all because of a few hours in May. He also said the lawn would likely be unnoticeable during graduation due to the thousands of chairs set up. ÒIt pisses me off,Ó Baumann said.

But Milne and Wollenzein said it is important to have the lawn looking attractive all through the late spring, summer and fall Ð not just for graduation day. ÒWe take a lot of pride in Carroll,Ó Milne said. ÒTo me, itÕs one of the most attractive colleges in the state of Wisconsin.Ó Milne and Wollenzein also said the physical plant has an open-door policy with regard to students, faculty and staff, saying comments and complaints are taken seriously. ÒItÕs not that weÕre unsympathetic,Ó Wollenzein said. ÒThere are other areas of campus that (sports) could be done in.Ó

FEATURES No fear: business as usual say Catholic Church locals was rubbing my front instead of my back, I was speechless, I never told anyone, you just didnÕt back then.Ó This is a very complicated issue.

Many are pointing the finger at the Catholic Church is not the answer.

Allowing priests to get married has been suggested by Archbishop Weakland, even though this would be seen by many as a step into the 21st century. It would also be seen as an acceptance of the fact that society has changed, priests have changed and most importantly that priests are mere men who aspire to be truly great spiritual beings.

A distinction needs to be made: pedophilia cannot be twisted in a subtle manner into something excusable, it is far removed from making sexual advances to someone over the age of consent, arguing that pedophilia will go away if priests are allowed to marry.

What they are missing is that normal men donÕt marry children. These priests that are guilty of child abuse are predators that should not be shuffled around to safety by the Catholic Church in the same fashion as an adulterer.

The recent media frenzy over the problem of pedophilia within the Catholic Church has caused more hostility towards the press than the priests.

Charlene Prospero, a local Catholic resident and mother of Father William Prospero, tearfully said, ÒMy son and other priests in the community are suffering severe criticism from the press, but they are coping.Ó One local Catholic, Barbara Manders, said, Ò I donÕt think that children have anything to fear. You canÕt judge all policemen by one bad one, it is the same with the Catholic Church.Ó Eugene Kennedy T, with a background in the priesthood and in psychology, blamed it all on the Catholic church in a report in the Milwaukee JournalSentinel on April 6, saying, ÒPedophilia is rooted in the distorted notions of a guilt drenched sexuality handed to them [priests] by the official Church.Ó

Whilst this has some indisputable truth, it does not take in the whole picture. The Catholic Church is portrayed as ÔtheÕ sole surviving organization hampered by rules that are outmoded in a highly sexually active and religious nation that understands little of the difference between religion and spirituality.

As Joan Colton, a local nonCatholic resident put it, ÒIn any institution where there is sexual repression, there is always a danger of sexual deviance.Ó A local victim of abuse, some 20 years ago, Barbara Friend, said, ÒIt is not so much the institution, but the time all of this is coming out now because you just didnÕt talk about it in those days. I donÕt feel that children have any more to fear from priests than any other minister.Ó When Barbara was only 16 years of age, a non-Catholic church outing turned out to be more than she had bargained for. As she described it, a strange minister offered to give her a back rub, innocently she thought nothing of it.

She said ÒIt was dark and suddenly, he

Contraption Contest

BY ISABEL STEWART Staff Writer

Wishy-washy Kennedy T might expect the Catholic Church to take all of the blame. All individuals, however, are responsible for the choices that they make.

America has made its own problem by giving the church the authority to try priests within the church, instead of by the normal judicial system. This enables pedophiles to remain protected by the church.

The Pope, in Pontius Pilate fashion, is washing his hands of it, saying it is AmericaÕs problem. What does he care?

He already made his feelings regarding Western culture felt when he said that the West, because of its materialism, is set to self destruct.

How can priests or any other holy man be expected to be strong enough to rise above their human physical desires?

They suffer a society obsessed with sex and the female body as meat that will sell any product. Switch on the boob tube and ask how a priest or any spiritual being can remain so, when confronted See Priests Page 12

Linse plans to give continuing support. ÒIÕd like to see senate continue with the issue of diversity,Ó said Linse. ÒThis year (Student) Senate co-sponsored the gay awareness event.

FEATURES The age-old crusade between fat and thin - which will win?

BY

AARON BECKER Staff Writer

Summer is on the way, and you know what that means. ItÕs almost time for beach parties, picnics, volleyball, lakefront concerts and anything else that takes place in the sun.

WhatÕs that you say? YouÕre still carrying around that extra Thanksgiving and Christmas flab?

Well, fear not, little friend. Shedding those wintertime pounds is a yearly tradition for many Americans. Just follow my advice, and youÕll be ready to hit the beach in no time.

The key to the summertime slim, according to Linda Koffarnus, a registered dietician at St. Agnes Hospital of Fond du Lac County, is simple: By simply maintaining your intake of calories and burning off excess calories with good old-fashioned exercise, a person can bring down his or her weight. ÒThe general problem is we just eat too much,Ó she said.

A middle-aged woman only needs

1,200 to 1,300 calories a day, whereas a man of the same age needs around 1,800, Koffarnus said. Calorie intake, however, depends not only on a personÕs age but also on his or her size, muscle mass and overall health. People with more muscle naturally burn more calories than people with less, for example.

What about those extra calories from that double scoop, chocolatecovered sundae? Koffarnus said it is important to burn them off so they donÕt become part of the bodyÕs fatty tissues. ÒIf you donÕt exercise, youÕre not going to have any success,Ó she said.

Koffarnus stressed, however, that nobody Ð no matter what size or age Ð should consume fewer than 1,200 calories daily unless he or she is acting under the recommendation of a physician. Instead of playing the cold turkey game, she suggested increasing your activities to burn off excess calories. ÒYou canÕt starve yourself forever,Ó she said. ÒYour body needs calories to function, and it goes into starvation mode when you donÕt eat.Ó Carbohydrates also play an impor-

tant role in a personÕs diet. There are two types: complex carbohydrates (found in pasta, bread, fruits and vegetables) and simple sugar carbohydrates (found in candy and other sweets). A person should only cut simple sugar carbohydrates, Koffarnus said, because complex carbohydrates, which provide B vitamins, are an essential energy source.

And, of course, eating healthy foods never hurt anyone. ÒHealthy food costs a little more, but you will find that you eat less, probably wonÕt get sick as often, live longer, and have more energy to live a full life,Ó reads www.LoseWeightNow.com.

According to the website, losing weight is all about two things: getting more exercise and eating less fatty, calorie-rich foods.

The website suggested making small, manageable changes to your everyday life Ð such as walking to get the paper every morning and drinking one wine instead of 12 beers Ð so that weight loss is not all at once. Rapid weight loss is unhealthy, and it can lead to violent stretch marks on oneÕs

body.

What if youÕve tried dieting and exercise, but you still find yourself unable to fit into that bikini you bought in college? You might be experiencing bloating, a condition nearly 50 percent of middle-aged women experience, according to LadiesÕ Home Journal (Feb. 2002). Bloating occurs when the body, especially near the stomach, expands due to gas or undigested food.

To minimize the possibility of bloating, the article suggested cutting down on insoluble fiber, which is found in oat bran, peas and fruit, because it does not pass through the bodyÕs intestines easily and can make a person feel more full than he or she actually is. Even healthy foods such as milk, broccoli and pears can lead to bloating.

Chewing gum, smoking and eating too fast can also cause bloating because these activities may cause you to swallow air accidentally. Even an abundance of hormones in the body can cause a bloated feeling, especially during pregnancy and menstruation for women.

FEATURES How To: Win a beauty pageant while becoming a life-size Barbie

BY AMY KANT Staff Writer Ever have an urge to hear someone sing, ÒThere she isÉMiss AmericaÓ as you walked down a runway? As little girls, many of us loved to watch pageants such as Miss America, Miss Teen USA, and Miss USA. We may have wondered, however, how Miss California or Miss Delaware took home the crown. How can you win a beauty pageant? Well, I am glad you asked.

First, and this is key, you must be able to walk in heelsÑvery, very high heels.

You must practice walking in them as though nothing was wrong, you must give the appearance of being comfortable.

Your feet and ankles will be in horrible pain, but you must not wince once, or you will certainly be cast out of the competition. Comfort is not the issue here. If you lose feeling below the knees, donÕt worryÑit happens to the best of us.

The next thing you need to do is get very tan. You can accomplish this by fakebaking, bottle tanning or sitting outside

all day. Of course, you donÕt want any tan lines, so fake-baking might be the best choice. Then, you have to take into consideration the risks of skin cancer, so maybe you should go with the bottle tan after all. If you have streaks or orange hands, however, you will surely be mocked.

The next thing to work on is your figure. Try as hard as you can to make yourself look like a Barbie doll. The smaller your waist and the bigger your breasts, the better! Diet and work out religiously, in fact, over-exert yourself if you have to.

You must have a slender, toned body, for you donÕt want to look like a fool in the swimsuit competition. If the judges see one ounce of cellulite, youÕre gone. (That is, of course, if the other contestants donÕt ridicule you to tears before you can walk out on the stage).

When walking on stage, suck in your stomach to help make yourself look thinner. Do whatever possible to make your breasts look enormous. Push them up, wear a padded bra, heck, stuff if you need to! What people donÕt see wonÕt hurt them. If you have small breasts, IÕm sorry.

Good luck winning thoughÉIÕm sure your

shining personality and great people skills will win the competition for you. Well, maybe it will win you Miss Congeniality or a nice parting gift.

Next is your face. If you donÕt like it, not to worry. No one except the make-up people will see what you really look like.

Make sure they put lots and lots of makeup on you. Lots of blush, lots of eye shadow, lots of lipstick and we canÕt forget about the eyeliner or mascara. If youÕre not wearing at least a pound of beauty products, you need to go back and put some more on. You are going to be under a lot of bright lights, you donÕt want to look pale after all that tanning youÕve done!

Who could forget about the hair?

Make sure itÕs big. Use hot rollers, curling irons and lots of teasing and hairspray to get the biggest hair possible. One can an hour is about right. Think Ò80Õs prom queenÓ and youÕll know what to do.

Now, clothing is a very important aspect of a beauty pageant. Make sure clothing accentuates your best features and hides any blemishes or ugly parts of your figure. You must dress for the occasion. For example, donÕt walk out for the

evening gown competition in your Armani pantsuit. No, no, that is for the interview portion, should you be so lucky as to progress that far. Make sure your clothes are a good balance between tasteful and slutty. After all, you didnÕt work hard for that body and spend all that money on tanning for nothingÉstrut your stuff!

Speaking of strutting, letÕs move on to your stage presence. Make those eyes sparkle! SmileÑshow those pearly whites.

(Oh yeah, donÕt forget to get your teeth bleachedÉyellow teeth are a definite faux pas.) Flirt with the audience, and most importantly, the judges. Let them see what you got.

If you happen to bend over, make sure the judges get a peek at the goodsÑ it couldnÕt hurt. A little wave or wink with a sultry grin will surely win them over.

Here are some great answers to remember if you are asked a question during the interview: ÒI want to have world peace.Ó ÒI want to end world hunger.Ó ÒI want to be a good role model for all the little girls out there who need a positive See Beauty Page 11

began to sink. 1517 people lost their lives and more than 700 survived.

On April 15, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln died from injuries inflicted by John Wilkes Booth. Jackie Robinson played his first major league baseball game for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947.

Harriet Quimby became the first woman to fly across the English Channel on April 16, 1912. Just 10 years later, in 1922, Annie Oakley shot 100 clay targets in a row, setting womenÕs record.

Frances Williams published a collection of Latin poems on April 17, 1758.

He was the first African American to graduate from a college in the western hemisphere. In 1964, Jerrie Mock became the first woman to fly an airplane solo around the world. And, in 1996, Erik and Lyle Menendez were sentenced to life in prison without parole for killing their parents.

On April 18, 1775, American revolutionaries Paul Revere, William Dawes and Samuel Prescott rode though the towns of Massachusetts giving the

warning that Òthe British are coming.Ó And, in 1895, New York State passed an act that established free public baths. I still have not figured out whether these were public restrooms, or public bathtubs!

Actress Grace Kelly became Princess Grace of Monaco when she married Prince Rainier III of Monaco on April 19, 1956. In 1995, tragedy struck America as a bomb destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Okla. It was the worst bombing on U.S. territory. 168 people were killed including 19 children, and 500 were injured. Timothy McVeigh was found guilty of the bombing on June 2, 1997.

The U.S. Congress created the territory of Wisconsin on April 20, 1836.

In 1934, Stand up and Cheer opened. It was Shirley TempleÕs movie debut. And, in 1992, Madonna signed a deal with Time Warner to set up a multimedia company. The deal reportedly made Madonna the highest paid woman in pop music.

On April 21, 1895, Woodville Latham demonstrated the first use of a moving picture projected on a screen in

New York City. In 1963, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones met for the first time at the Crawdaddy Club in Richmond, England. The Stones opened the show.

Barbara Walters became first female nightly network news anchor on April 22, 1976. And, in 2000, Elian Gonzalez was reunited with his father.

He had to be taken from his Miami relatives by U.S. agents in a predawn raid.

On April 23, 1872, Charlotte E. Ray became the first black woman lawyer.

In 1900, the word ÒhillbillyÓ was first used in print in an article in the New York Journal. It was spelled ÒHillBillieÓ. And, in 1954, Hank Aaron of the then Milwaukee Braves hit his first major-league home run.

The first journalist to be named White House news reporter was William Price, who began working the prestigious beat for the Washington Star on April 24, 1897. And, in 1865, a fire alarm and police telegraph system was put into operation.

The Psych Club will perform fortune telling again while CAB will host their famous Ò50/50Ó raffle.

More to look forward to from CAB includes Spring Fling visors instead of Tshirts as were offered in previous years.

The visors, which will sell for around $4

(cheaper too) will have a picture of a palm tree and the sun. There will also be plenty of Hawaiian leis and beach balls!

Pens will be present this year as well resembling small palm trees to go along with the theme of ÒFantasy IslandÓ.

So, even if it is only 30 degrees Farenheit on April 19th, Spring Fling is sure to warm up the day. With tons of activities, performances and free stuff, how could any college student resist?

OPINION Letter to the Editor: April 2, 2002

Politically Speaking: The news is brutal; hereÕs how to survive

Dear Editor, As a graduating senior, I would just like to say thanks to all of the professors who taught so well. I feel that I got my moneyÕs worth. Also, I would like to thank the Carroll College community for providing a pleasant and well-maintained campus.

As I begin a new chapter in my life when I receive my diploma, Carroll College is also beginning a new chapter in its long tradition of providing a solid education. I personally applaud President Falcone and the Board in splitting the college into two schools. This will help Carroll compete with the many colleges its size across the nation. Also, I believe that Carroll should grow and expand to hopefully become a university similar to Marquette University. I believe that higher education is at its best if it is offered through the universities. It simply provides more resources and a better quality education.

Carroll gave me the opportunity to go to college, and after four years I have not been disappointed. Thank you Carroll students, faculty and staff.

Daniel Baggott

SARAH SCHLEICHER News Editor

Please send any criticism, suggestions or other responses to Sarah Schleicher at sschleic@cc.edu.

I had every intention of writing about the current communication snafu with administration for this issue, whether itÕs miscommunication or my theory that it was a lack thereof entirely.

When I finished a night of work at the YMCA this past Wednesday, however, my intentions quickly changed.

While working in the business office, where I do things like sign people up for memberships and classes, a young Mexican male approached our counter.

Essentially, he lodged a complaint, questioning the actions of a male worker. The older male, told the young man he could not be in a particular area of the YMCA, an area reserved for those 14 years and older. However, for ambitious kids interested in working out at a younger age, the YMCA provides the opportunity to pass a written exam demonstrating knowledge of the equipment. Those that pass receive a card that denotes this accomplishment.

The young man was not yet 14 years old, but had passed the course and received his new card verifying just that.

So why did someone in a supervisor position at the YMCA kick the kid out of that part of the facility?

I see two reasons. One, he is lazy and didnÕt want to take the time to merely call our office to check the kidÕs membership status. This is a simple task that requires, on his part, dialing four numbers and then talking, but I forget, he would have had to pick up the phone as well.

Two, he is racist and didnÕt want a Mexican kid running on the track or using the equipment that only kids with a special privilege get to use. Maybe itÕs hard for him to think beyond whatever stereotype he has in his mind about young Mexicans, but that kid had every right to be there, and this YMCAÕs behavior was completely inappropriate.

I will say that his actions were even more inappropriate considering our place of employment. The YMCA is a Christian organization that states in its home page, ÒYs are for people of all faiths, races, abilities, ages and incomes.Ó I do not say this to smear the name of the YMCA. I truly enjoy my workplace and I feel that the YMCA is a wonderful place to bring your children See Diversity Page 10

GREG RABIDOUX Staff Writer

Comments? Concerns? You say you like brutality? Let me know your views at grabido@cc.edu.

Greg Rabidoux is an assistant professor in the Department of Politics.

Is it just me or does the news seem especially brutal as of late? Terrorism, dog maulings, Israel and Palestine destroying each other, a mother doing away with her kids, and just the other day, a woman in Oklahoma sold her newborn baby to a neighbor in exchange for a chihuhua dog (sad, but true!).

To make matters worse, Americans, according to the Public Agenda Research group, have now actually rated themselves as the rudest people on the globe. We have apparently become one big New York City!

We (Americans, not you and I, of course!) yell into our cell phones as if no one else around us can hear, curse at each other when we are in our automobiles, think nasty thoughts about our fellow neighbor and donÕt even hold the door open for each other anymore. And, we do all of these things on average much more than peoples of any other nation.

Maybe instead of sending our dogs to obedience school we should make that a prerequisite for fellow Americans.

I thought teaching manners is what used to be what happened in schools (remember the book All I Ever Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten?), but, man, how times have changed. And I havenÕt even covered the mayhem, killings, explosions and human collateral damage in Arnold SchwarzeneggerÕs new movie (the aptly titled) Collateral Damage.

What, you say that came and went, and no Oscar nominations for Arnie?

What a pity. Still, we must all persevere in light of such brutal news and below I have some ideas (one actual, one I invented and tried, and one even I am too scared to try) for your review and potential application.

Just remember, that no matter how bad the real news gets or how scandalous certain politicians may behave, there is always next year for the Brewers. WhatÕs that, you say the season just started?

Well, IÕll do my part to stem the current tidal wave of horrific news and will keep the final record of the Brewers to myself.

At least for now. IÕll give you a hint though, the only time youÕll see national cameras in Milwaukee for baseball is at this yearÕs All-Star Game. And, as for the Bucks, well, I did say the news has been brutal lately, didnÕt I? Surviving Brutal News: (Warning: the following Tips are for amusement purposes only) 1. Unplug. Simply refuse to watch, listen, read or go on-line to get exposed to more brutality and nastiness. Of course, a recent NES survey found that the average college student in America is among the least aware, least informed students on the globe. Okay, maybe you better not unplug completely afterall, but at least force yourself to find one positive item in the media a day. Hint: If you are a Bucks or Brewers fan, avoid the sports pages.

2. Swear-off (metaphorically!) violent video games. The National Council of Youth and Health claims that the average 14-19 year-old plays an average of 3.25 hours of video games a day! Enough with the torture, maiming and chopping.

This may just feed oneÕs appetite for ever increasingly brutal news. Be satisfied with watching the ÒItchy and ScratchyÓ clips on a given Simpsons episode. If it is good enough for the rest of America, it should be good enough for you!

3. Program your television to automatically avoid all Jerry Springer and all his wannabe competitors, too much contrived brutality. Instead watch the Discovery Channel and you can see animals being brutal to each other in the real animal kingdom. At least youÕll learn something that may be asked on some standardized test one day and you, my animal kingdom afficionado, will be ready.

Finally, you can always just close your eyes and pretend all of this bad news is just a dream, I call this the Dallas Dynasty Solution (kids ask your parents what I am talking about), and that you will wake up in a far better world than when you when you closed your eyes. Of course, you can choose to make the world a somewhat better place by doing something nice for someone when they least expect it. Just donÕt bet that such a non-brutal act will make the nightly news.

OPINION Bible Stories 101: After Lent, Good Friday, Easter - now what?

BY

WILLIAM HUMPHREYS Staff Writer

The Rev. William Humphreys is the chaplain for Carroll College.

In this liturgical season following Easter Sunday, we read in the Bible that some pretty interesting things happened in the continuing story of JesusÕ ministry among us. ÒLiturgical seasonÓ - thatÕs a big-sounding way to refer to the marking of time through the life of the church year. Do you remember Christmas. How about Advent before and Epiphany after Christmas? You remember Mardi Gras from New Orleans and the Playboy channel; how about Mardi Gras as the day before Ash Wednesday? And Ash Wednesday as the first day of Lent? And now Easter Sunday has come and gone, so weÕre in the Òliturgical seasonÓ of Easter, moving toward Pentecost, which happens after the academic season of Baccalaureate and Commencement and at the end of the first week of Summer Session I. What?! Someone digressed.

In these days following Easter, we read in the gospel of John that Jesus appeared to some people and continued to offer words of encouragement and direction. ÒBig deal?Ó you wonder.

We first read that Jesus had been put to death on ÒGood FridayÓ and was discovered missing from the tomb on Easter Sunday morning, and now he is thought to have been resurrected from the dead back to life among friends and disciples.

He appeared to Mary of Magdala, Magdala being a small community not too far just west of the Sea of Galilee. ÒDonÕt hold me,Ó he said to Mary, who then went to announce his resurrection to the disciples. ÒPeace be with you,Ó he said to them. And, Òif you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.Ó LetÕs work on the ÒforgiveÓ part of that! And then we hear of Òdoubting Thomas.Ó I remember the first time I heard a reference to someone as a Òdoubting Thomas.Ó I was old enough, and had been to Sunday School classes, to know that this was a Biblical reference more than it was something out of the Òshow meÓ state of Missouri.

The point is pretty much the same.

Thomas was not present with the rest of the disciples when Jesus, presumed to be dead, appeared to them.

When they told Thomas what had happened, he quoted Bill Cosby quoting Noah, and said, ÒRiiiiiight.Ó They responded speaking, we think, in Aramaic, with something like, ÒNo, really!Ó He was the original Òdoubting

Diversity/racist people still exist From Page 9

or yourself to enhance personal wellbeing. I point out that statement because this employee nears consistency in violating two of those listed items.

He has a problem with people that are young and not shiny white. Of course, he has never said this to me, but it is evident through his perpetual griping about Òyoung kidsÓ doing this or that. I was also informed by someone who holds the same position as him and has been at the YMCA for several years, as an employee and as a member, that he has done similar things in the past. For example, heÕs drawn attention to black or Hispanic boys who are doing nothing different than the kids by whom theyÕre surrounded, saying that that particular child is acting up.

I have to exclaim that I canÕt believe such allegedly racist people exist in a family-oriented nurturing environment

such as the YMCA! I would expect them to be holed-up in trailers in Georgia watching Jerry Springer, but here, in the North?

I come to a point, now, where it seems a solution needs be presented. IÕll admit that I have a hard time providing a feasible response to this problem. A larger obstacle is implicit in what has occurred. ItÕs like figuring out how to house the homeless or feed the hungry.

I have arrived at a conclusion, thanks to an older and wiser individual, that what I can do is start with this one person. I plan to speak with my supervisor so that someone besides those of us part-timers working at night is aware of his behavior. Hopefully there are some repercussions. Beyond that, IÕm not sure what action can be taken to solve the larger, looming social dilemma of racism existing in 2002. The only feasible thing is for us to start small, one person at a time.

Thomas.Ó Then, when Jesus appeared to the disciples again, Thomas was there. And sure enough, this time he believed.

Here Jesus reprimands Thomas in a way that reprimands many who think of ourselves as believers. Jesus said, ÒHave you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.Ó (John 20:29) Hmmm...recall Hebrews 11:1: ÒFaith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.Ó And Jesus had some other Òpost resurrection appearancesÓ, the scholars call them, where he appeared to disciples and others. Just to make sure that weÕre not talked into believing that these appearances were simply visual events, weÕre told in several Biblical ways that his resurrection was quite real: Thomas could touch the holes in his hands from the nails of the crucifixion and put his hand in JesusÕ wounded side, Jesus ate fish cooked along the seashore, and Jesus spoke to the disciples in each of these encounters.

So now what? Believing in the resurrection as an event of history is

among the marks of many Christian believers. Believing in the truth and possibilities of resurrection faith may well be the mark of many more believers, including many who do not necessarily call themselves Christians, or think the same things as other self affirming Christians. Resurrection faith has to do with such wonderful experiences as having hope when the world around seems like itÕs falling apart. It has to do with trusting in a ray of light when personal circumstances might seem overshadowing. It has to do with a sense of confidence about pressing ahead when other inner- and external- voices may seem to say Òhang it up.Ó Resurrection faith has to do with lending a hand on behalf of others, even others who donÕt Òget itÓ and wonÕt be saying thanks, sharing gifts generously even with stingy classmates, kindly breaking through the coldness of roommate relationships soured by some previous weird encounter, rescheduling the day or the whole of life because some new way of seeing surpasses the familiarity of bad habits, etc.

May all the possibilities of such a season of resurrection be real for you!

with such a barrage of perversely derogatory female sexual images.

The Catholic Church needs to deal with its issues Ð and in order for pedophilia and other despicable crimes of a similar nature to disappear from society altogether Ð the media will have to re-think how it presents its material and accept accountability for the society it has shaped.

Richard Manson, a Navajo Sun dancer once explained the same problem from his perspective. ÒIt is like being torn between two worlds.Ó Whilst on the reservation, away from Western lifestyle, he was able to live a life of spiritual oneness with mother earth, unspoiled or interfered with by the distractions of the West, such as, TV. The moment he and other spiritual men enter the city (Flagstaff Ariz), everything changes, the temptations of topless bars and alcohol that appeal to the lower physical senses, leaves them lost and confused between two worlds.

Why should priests be any different? Do they not perhaps suffer the same inner struggle that does not solely

stem from the sexual repression of the dogmatic Catholic Church alone.

On a local level, how can the public deal with this? Charlene Prospero, mother of Father Prospero, said, ÒWe need to focus on the positive, good things that the church does, the shelters, the medical help centers and their educational contributions that are unsurpassed.Ó At St. JosephÕs Church in Waukesha, immigrants and other Americans who do not qualify for medical care, or do not have insurance and who would otherwise be left to suffer, come to St. JosephÕs for treatment at their free clinic.

The general consensus as Prospero said is, ÒWhenever the media get hold of anything and there is sex involved, they just jump all over it.Ó Locals are keeping a level head on this one, it is too easy to point the finger, the issue remains a sensitive one that will be dealt with behind closed church doors. As for the media problem, that is a far greater issue in the bigger picture of things and it has yet to be dealt the same scrutiny. As far as the Catholic Church is concerned, it is ÔBusiness as Usual.Õ

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Bi-Weekly Horoscopes BY

CARROLL COLLEGE’S RESIDENT ASTROLOGERS

Aries March 21 - April 19 Things to avoid for the time being: Macintosh computers and men with bowl cuts.

Taurus April 20 - May 19 Stop, drop, and roll. Remembering these four words now will pay off big later in the month.

Gemini May 20 - June 20 If a 6-foot tall angry white rabbit comes up to your door demanding to see his priceless possessions, it would be best not to mention the multi-colored scrambled eggs you had for breakfast last Sunday.

Cancer June 21 - July 21 Alcohol isnÕt the only good thing about Spring Fling, but its one of the

most important parts. Try to remember that in between keg stands. Of course, if youÕre under 21, thereÕs bound to be coloring books or something for you to do too.

Leo July 22 - August 22 You will experience chronic numbness in some part of your body for the next few days.

Virgo August 23 - September 21 Reach for the stars, but since they are burning infernos, we donÕt advise actually touching them. Or even getting remotely close. On second thought, youÕd better just keep your hands where they belong - twiddling your thumbs Libra September 22 - October 22 Think through your plans carefully.

Help yourself by helping othersÉ arenÕt horoscopes helpful?

Scorpio October 23 - November 21 Dave Thomas didnÕt die, he was just abducted by aliens, like Elvis. You may not believe this now, but by the end

of the month it will start to make more sense.

Sagittarius November 22 - December 20 Your attempt to revolutionize the sport of rugby will hit a roadblock on the 17th when you learn that porcupines donÕt bounce, Saran wrap comes off when you sweat, and the Sacramento Nudies isnÕt as good of a team name as you first thought.

Capricorn December 21 - January 19 Change must take place in the inner you before change can take place in the real world. Your kidneys are three inches too high. Come on! YouÕd better get on that - the Israelis and Palestinians are counting on you.

Aquarius January 20 - February 17 Propitious happenings are afoot. If we knew what this meant, we would elaborate. Guess youÕre just going to have to wing it.

Pisces February 18 - March 20 Just like E.T., for most of this month youÕll be poked, prodded, and probed by strange men in radiation suits. Unlike E.T., youÕll love every second of it.

Summer concert season warms up

BY KENNETH KAMINSKI Special to The New Perspective Despite the chilly temperatures we have been feeling this springtime, hope for warmer weather has come in the form of some summer concert announcements. More will be made as the grass turns greener and the thermometer begins to rise.

So far the outlook is promising.

Although no rock or pop heavyweights like Madonna or U2 will be touring this summer, a steady stream of musicÕs most lauded will be bringing their shows to the Milwaukee area in the coming months.

If ÒU Got It BadÓ for smooth and sexy R&B artist Usher, heÕll be at the Marcus Amphitheatre on May 27, along with Faith Evans, NAS, and Mr. (ÒLights, Camera, Action!Ó) Cheeks. ÒThe Rock ShowÓ of the summer may take place at the Marcus Ampitheatre on June 16 when Blink-182 bring all their small things to the Summerfest grounds along with punk/pop trio Green Day. Expect to have the ÒTime Of Your Life.Ó Those who want ÒNothinÕ But A Good TimeÓ can join Ô80s has-beens Poison and other VH1-adored hair bands for a night of unskinny bopping on June 18th at the Marcus.

Pollstar magazineÕs pick as Òbest musical festivalÓ kicks off June 27 and runs through to July 7.

Summerfest Ð on MilwaukeeÕs lakefront Ð will host a wide array of musical acts, from Heart to Jewel to Ray Charles. Toss in smooth jazz sax man Boney James, rock lobsters the B-52s, and ÒFlyÓ guys Sugar Ray, and you have the worldÕs best music extravaganza.

The Marcus Amphitheatre will welcome some of rockÕs biggest names during the annual festival. ÒYou Oughta KnowÓ that charttopping Canadian Alanis Morrissette will be on hand June 27. Phil Lesh and his friends will jam the shack for hours on June 28. Brooks and Dunn set their ÒNeon CircusÓ down June 29, and fans will be ÒFallinÕÓ for Alicia Keys July 2.

ThereÕll be Widespread Panic on stage See Concerts Page 15

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Table for Three: Gotta go to the Grotto and then get out

BY ELIZABETH MARTIN, MOLLY SCHUMAN AND LAUREN YOUNG

Staff Writers

If you have a hankering for country music, grease-soaked paper plates, and I-talian food, head on down S. East Avenue to Main St., the home of JimmyÕs Grotto. Only go there if your heart is feeling up to the challenge!

Hopefully you will walk away from there without having a heart attack!

We had heard a lot about the famous Carroll College tradition of late-night ponzas and decided to check it out for ourselves. The atmosphere was a typical college dive, with old folding tables and chairs, along with femi-

nine paintings on the walls. We ordered at the counter. Our meals were all under $5.00, just perfect for a college budget. We waited about 20 minutes for our ponzas, but the wait was worth it!

Lauren the vegetarian ordered a plain cheese ponza. ÒA gaping wad of cheese slithered down my throat along with enough grease to fill an extra-large grease trap. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it greatly,Ó she said.

Molly, who is an avid fan of greasy pepperoni, ordered the pepperoni ponza. ÒDelicious!Ó She knew sheÕd pay for it laterÉ Ellie, who had never heard of ponzas before, tried an olive, onion, and cheese one. It was an unpleasant surprise when a big, lard-soaked hunk of dough was plopped down in front of her. Despite that fact, she still thought the olives, onions, and cheese were good, even though she refused to eat the crust.

JimmyÕs Grotto is a distinguished late-night establishment, open until 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. If youÕre

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Aural Sex: Let ÔchilloutÕ music soothe senses, calm nerves

BY KENNETH KAMINSKI Special to The New Perspective Is the pressure of final exams, term papers and projects doing a number on your sanity?

Perhaps you ought to Òchillout.Ó Music can be a quick and easy remedy for those times when your thoughts are weighed down by college lifeÕs assortment of stresses.

An emerging genre in dance and electronic music is sweeping our country currently, and with it, our minds, bodies, and spirits.

The genre is known as Òchillout,Ó Òdowntempo,Ó Òtrance,Ó or Òambient.Ó Whatever name is given, the effect is the same: this brand of music soothes, relaxes, and calms the nerves. Perfect for an overly-stressed college student, chillout is novocaine for the ears.

Chillout has been around for quite some time now, but only recently has it made an impact on U.S. shores.

Established in the dance clubs of

England and Ibiza, Spain, chillout offers an alternative to the throbbing, pulsating bpms of techno and rave music. Chillout is a cool and icy sidestep to the sweat and speed of the club scene.

Chillout implements many of techno/raveÕs best qualities, but slows the whole mix down.

The result is sensual, seductive and spiritual: aural sex, if you will.

Soulful, lusty vocals converge over sweeping synthesized landscapes.

Computerized beats beep and percolate while a female voice beckons you to feel the music.

Chillout is the audio equivalent of a hot bubble bath, a cup of cappuccino and candlelight.

Artists in the chillout scene include many foreign acts such as Morcheeba, Goldfrapp, Tricky and Gorillaz.

American acts have dabbled in chillout, too: DJ Moby and the band Garbage are two examples.

Overall, chillout provides the listener with a sound teeming with techno tranquility.

ItÕs lovely, lusty and lush, and it is the

sound of the future.

Plug in your lava lamp, curl up with a warm cup of herbal tea and set aside your semester-end worries for a while.

Chillout with some of these excellent CD compilations: - Ultra. Chilled. (Its sequel arrives in stores April 30)

SPORTS Star athletes find fameÕs grasp too hard to break LI V E FR O M T H E P I O D O M E! BY

NATHAN BRUNNER Sports Editor

Live from the Pio Dome is an editorial column written by Nathan Brunner to express his various opinions about topics in the world of sports. Any comment relating to Live From the Pio Dome can be voiced via email to nbrunner@carroll1.cc.edu Last week, as I am sure many of you know by now, Michael Jordan made an announcement that he will not play the rest of the season. The reason is due to the swelling in his right knee. Jordan injured the knee before the all-star game and elected to have surgery. He returned to action after missing only 12 games. The pain was too much, however, and he decided to shut it down. As of right now, the question on many peopleÕs minds is if he will play next season.

Jordan, 39, has reiterated the fact he signed a two-year contract and has every intent to play next season. I believe this will make one wonder when enough is enough and it is time for him to quit while he is ahead.

Over the years I have seen many

superstar athletes continue to play well past their prime. They just canÕt seem to give it up. I can understand how hard it must be to quit something they love to do and have spent their whole lives doing. What I cannot understand is how they can want to continue to play at a sub par level (while embarrassing themselves in the process) after so many years of exceptional play. I highly doubt the money is the draw since most superstar athletes have more than enough money to live on for several lifetimes. I just cannot figure out what the likes of Cal Ripkin Jr., Reggie White, and Jordan have thought as they played more and more seasons.

For the last year of RipkinÕs career he struggled greatly. His performance was a long way off of his play during his 2000 plus consecutive games streak. It was hard for me to watch such a great athlete struggle so greatly. He should have just hung up the spikes after his record-breaking year. It would have been much better for him to go out on top than to struggle into retirement.

Reggie White is another prime exam-

ple. He went out on top at first but then had to come out of retirement and play another season. This season was a disaster for him and he just did not play well at all. Hanging around too long is not just limited to the four major sports however. One just needs to look at golf legend Arnold Palmer. He dominated the sport of golf for many years but now he is struggling to even hold his own on the course. His age has just caught up to him. I just have no idea why one would want to go out and perform so badly after dominating for so many years.

I just hope that if MJ decides to play another year he does not end up embarrassing himself. He should never have come back in the first place. How can one possibly top hitting a championship winning shot on the last shot of your career. It would have been the perfect end to an illustrious career.

However, we must now wait and see if Jordan will be like so many of his counterparts and play too long or if he will go out in a respectable manner. I hope for his sake he chooses the latter.

Track teams off to fast start BY

NATHAN BRUNNER Sports Editor

The outdoor track season is only three meets old but already the men and womenÕs teams are off to fast starts. Both teams finished 5th out of 14 schools at the Rhodes College Invite in Memphis, TN on March 16.

“THE

COACHING STAFF KNEW ALL ALONG THE TALENT [JENNY PROCHAZKA] POSSESSES.” Head Coach Todd Carter

The men then finished 3rd out of 8 schools at Augustana College on March 23. At this meet Jim Vento and Nick Wietor both became NCAA provisional qualifiers with their marks in the pole vault and discus respectively.

At the same meet Chris Pearson also became an NCAA provisional qualifier in the process of setting a school record in the 110-meter hurdles. Pearson turned in a time of 14.57 seconds.

At the Augustana meet the women turned in a 4th place finish out of 10 schools. The highlight of the meet for the women was the performance of freshman Jenny Prochazka.

Prochazka took first place in the shot put and discus events. She set the school record in the shot put with a mark of 44Õ1Ó. This broke the previous mark set in 1985 and also made her an NCAA provisional qualifier. This performance surprises many but not her coach. ÒIÕm not surprised at all,Ó said head coach Todd Carter. ÒThe coaching staff knew all along the talent she possesses.Ó This past Sunday at the Ripon Invitational the men and women both took first place out of eight schools.

Once again a school record was broken when Jenny Prochazka broke her own shot put record with a mark of 44Õ9Ó.

She also placed 1st in the discus with a throw of 115Õ4Ó.

The Pioneer track teams are next in action this Saturday at the Warhawk Invite in Whitewater, Wis.
