H1N1 is under control Dan Polaski Staff Writer

The H1N1 virus may have found its way to Carroll University, but members of the administration and Student Health Center are committed to controlling the disease and keeping new cases to a minimum. According to Dr. Theresa Barry, Carroll Dean of Students, getting an accurate count of how many Carroll students have the H1N1 virus is difficult. The Center for Disease Control and Waukesha County do not require all individuals with flu-like symptoms to be tested. Additionally, testing is expensive, and Carroll does not want students to have to pay extra for testing if it is not necessary. This fall there have been sev-

eral suspected cases of the disease on campus. Pam Dolata, Carroll nurse practitioner and Student Health Center coordinator, said there is an increased number of students exhibiting flu-like symptoms than would be expected at this time of the year. However, it is unknown how many of these cases are H1N1 and how many are the seasonal flu. “We know students have H1N1 and there are suspected cases that met the symptom criteria but were not tested,” said Dolata. “There are others that saw their own healthcare provider and were told they probably had H1N1, but that weren’t necessarily tested.” Dolata added that students with other conditions, such as H1N1 continued on page 8

Outstanding alumni Michael Dean Morgan shines on the stage Amanda Palcynski Staff Writer

Once a Carroll Player, now a professional actor, and forever a Carroll University graduate, Michael Dean Morgan is a fine example of Carroll’s continuing success, and one who tailored his education to make the most of being a professional actor. Born and raised in Waukesha, Morgan did not stray too far from home when he chose to pursue his degree at Carroll College. His mother Dale Ann Morgan ‘67, attended Carroll. He spent five years at Carroll, majoring in English, Secondary Education, and Theater Arts with an emphasis in Acting and Directing. Among the most eye-opening of his experiences was taking an NCEP class and traveling to Central America and Europe, but most importantly was the event of meeting his wife, Shana (Lindsey) Morgan 98’. After graduating in 1998, Morgan spent one year as the theater director at Waukesha South High School, followed by a year working with local theaters like The Skylight Opera and First Stage Milwaukee. In 2002, he began his Master’s at the University of California-Irvine. Following graduation in 2005, Mi-

chael got an agent and moved to New York with Shana and their 1-year-old son Dean. Along with acting and directing, Morgan learned to be a puppeteer. He originated the role of Marlin, Nemo’s dad, in the world premiere of Disney’s “Finding Nemo - The Musical” and Zazu in “The Lion King.” Five days stood between his last performance of “Nemo” and his first rehearsal for “The Lion King.” Over 200 shows later, Morgan deems “The Lion King,” an exceptional production that was always exciting, especially in getting to interact with audiences, some of whom were enjoying theatre for the first time in their lives. Morgan advises students pursuing the theater arts, “to reach out to professional theaters in Milwaukee and audition for them…I think the best thing an actor can do is work theater in the summer no matter how little you get paid.” Although there are an exceeding amount of internships available, Morgan warns to not underestimate the

prospect of creating your own internship. “If you find a theater you want to work for, make your own internship and say, ‘You know what. I want to work for you for free for three months and I’ll come in twice a week,’” said Morgan, “most people won’t say no.” Upon receiving the Carroll University G.O.L.D. award in 2008, Morgan was able to share his advice and experiences in acting with Carroll theatre students. Associate Professor in the Theatre Arts, James Zager was most interested in the way in which Morgan sought out to the students and his insight on how to be successful, along with specific performance techniques. Although he works among professional actors from schools like Julliard and Yale, Morgan notes the acting world is very equalizing, casting directors do not care where you went to school- you are only as good as your last job. Coming from a smaller school like Carroll should not limit students from achieving in their biggest dreams;

“If I had my way I would never retire and die somewhere close to the stage, not die on stage; that would be a problem for the audience...” - Michael Dean Morgan

it’s how you use it. “This is the only time in your life where you have this little financial responsibility but also so much access to resources and fun. College is much more independent than high school and it is much more varied than graduate school” says Morgan. He describes college as a beautiful hybrid of a place to grow both academically and socially that students shouldn’t overlook. Currently, Morgan is finishing his last week in St. Louis as Venticello in the Repertory Theater of St. Louis’ production of “Amadeus,” then it’s back to New York to audition. Some-

where in the no too distant future, in addition to his acting work, Morgan hopes to find a teaching position at a small university like Carroll . “If I had my way I would never retire and die somewhere close to the stage, not die on stage; that would be a problem for the audience. If I could be close to my family and continue to work for all my days as an actor I would be very content,” Morgan says with a laugh. Morgan is just one of many distinguished alumni at Carroll.

CIBI Grant Gains Approval Lyla Goerl

Editorial Staff Carroll is in the process of enhancing its Business, Accounting and Economics Department after receiving a $189,719 twoyear grant from the United States Department of Education. The money will benefit the Carroll International Business Initiative (CIBI), which focuses on internationalizing the business program. CIBI has been underway since August. The internationalization effort will greatly benefit

students and be a great way to increase involvement with the study abroad programs. Professor Gary Olsen, director of the grant, said it is still in the beginning stages. “The grant is good for two years,” said Olsen. “We want to use it for business related materials. However, we’re still in the planning process of the grant.” The first step will be to educate the faculty on how the grant will be used before going about the changes. The CIBI team will hold three seminars to explain the future of the program. “We’re taking baby steps to

get the grant underway,” Olsen said. The CIBI team is also hoping to gain partnerships with businesses overseas to encourage international internships. Over the summer, some professors had the opportunity to travel and network to increase international relationships with Carroll. More of these opportunities will potentially take place in the future. “I am very excited to be working for the grant,” Olsen said. “This is a fantastic opportunity for students. It is a win–win situation for everyone.”

‘University’ 15 year face lift to be revealed on Friday, October 9 Jordan Reyes Staff Writer

Carroll University will undergo another major facelift with the unveiling of The Master Plan on Oct. 9. The Master Plan project is part of the rebranding process and will be in the works for the next 15 years with the help of students, faculty and outside firms. Ron Lostetter, Vice President of Finance and Administrative Service, said this plan will not only help to move people through the campus, but help Carroll University as an institution to create an identity for itself. Additionally, the plan holds the potential to draw in more students because about twothirds of prospective students

are influenced by the look and feel of a school. The Master Plan has been underway for about one year. It has had much input from both on and off-campus residents, as well as the faculty and the community. An oversight committee has also been created to guide the plan to completion. The first five-year block will focus on defining the proximity of Carroll’s campus, particularly by making entry signs more pronounced. Currently the two main spots for entry signs are located at the corner of College and East and on Barstow. On Main Lawn, there will be a new defining feature. The lawn, which has traditionally held graduation ceremonies, will possibly have a central fountain. Another change will be the addition of a second Pioneer

Hall to add more campus housing. The new Pioneer Hall willpossibly contain commercial stores, dining options in the lowers levels and classrooms to make living further from campus more convenient. The library will also have a new addition, and the areas around Shattuck and Otteson will be made more fluid. The goal is to make those areas friendlier and more inviting for people to sit and meet. There also will be stairs instead of a paved slope to lead to the upper part of campus. Other aspects of the plan include changes to the Campus Center, Rankin and parking areas. Carroll will add a new parking structure that will especially benefit students who often have difficulties finding parking spaces near campus during the week.

The Milwaukee Business Journal awarded Ron Lostetter, Carroll University’s Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services, the CFO of the Year award. The CFO award recognizes the achievements of outstanding Chief Financial Officers (CFOs). Dr. Gary Olsen, Associate Professor of Accounting, nominated Lostetter for the award because of his outstanding efforts at Carroll. “I thought he did an outstanding job from a financial standpoint. The recognition is well-deserved,” Olsen said. Lostetter is Carroll’s first CFO to receive the CFO of the Year award. “He is a very dedicated and knowledgeable person,” Olsen said. “We are fortunate here at Carroll to have Ron as our CFO.” Olsen is part of the organization Financial Executives International, and heard the Milwaukee Business Journal was asking for nominations for outstanding CFOs. As Carroll’s CFO, Lostetter is responsible for the university’s budget and other financial affairs. He has human resources, treasury, and physical plant responsibilities. “The physical plant is custodial, grounds facilities, maintenance, and building new buildings,” Lostetter said.

Lostetter was judged according to five criteria: his ability to execute his goals, how his overall skills and creativity contribute to the community, his initiative to strengthen the market position, standards of creativity, and miscellaneous information. Lostetter excelled in all five criteria. His ten year physical plant master plan and physical plant expansion were especially impressive considering that many colleges and universities are currently retrenching instead of expanding. There are two main categories for the CFO of the Year award: profit and non-profit. There are six sub-categories which are education, government, non-profit organizations, private companies that make less than $25 million in annual sales, private companies that make $26-$250 million, and public and private companies that make $250 million or more. Lostetter is the only CFO to receive the CFO of the Year Award from the category of education. This is the second year that the Milwaukee Business Journal has awarded the CFO of the Year Award. On October 9 The Business Journal will host a luncheon at the Pfister Hotel to award the 2009 CFO of the Year award winners. President Doug Hastad said, “Ron’s nomination is a reflection of what he has done and how he’s doing it. It’s a privilege to be as-

sociated with someone as talented as Ron Lostetter and someone who cares about Carroll as much as he does.” Lostetter said the award is really recognition for Carroll. “It’s reflective of what’s happening at Carroll. People are working together and supporting each other; Carroll University is a special place.” The CFO of the Year award is a reflection of “my continuation to contribute to what I think is a great university,” Lostetter said. The award demonstrates that the people at Carroll care about their school and support those who do outstanding work for the university.

Letter to the editor: East Avenue Apt. speaks out Dear Editor, I am the Resident Assistant in East House at 239 N. East Avenue. My residents and I were very upset to read about one student’s experiences at the house in issue two and we wanted to share our own thoughts about this living space. I have been living here since Aug. 13, a week before anyone else moved in and over two and a half weeks before the residents moved in. I have never had issues with the condition of the house. I felt safe and comfortable and did not mind leaving my bedroom door open at all times. The doors inside the house may not have had locks, but all of the doors leading outside did have locks. I did not mind having anyone in the house with me even though my belongings were not behind a locked door. I still enjoyed living here during the temporary period without cable or internet. It gave me more time to focus on preparing for the residents. What the original article

failed to mention was that there have been many upgrades in the house, including locks on the doors, blinds on the windows, cable, and internet access, all of which were mentioned to be lacking in the article. All of the residents really enjoy living here, even more so than the campus housing that they have lived in in the past. This house provides a feeling of home and a “family” which is what some housing experiences cannot provide. Everyone has gotten to know each other on a more personal level, and we have more social privileges, such as having homemade house dinners, than other campus housing considering the house has a complete kitchen. We sent this letter so everyone would get the other side of the story of East House. While that student may have had a bad experience, theirs is the only bad one that has been had in the house. Thanks, Elizabeth Glass and East House residents

H1N1 page 8 ctd. asthma, diabetes or heart disease, will be tested if they exhibit flu-like symptoms. Students with these conditions are at a higher risk of having complications from the virus, so it is imperative that it is diagnosed and treated as early as possible. Those without these medical conditions will receive the same treatment as those with the seasonal flu, so it is not as crucial for these individuals to be tested. “If testing a student is not going to change the treatment from usual, we don’t feel a need to test,” said Dolata. Both Barry and Dolata emphasized that there are several ways students can help prevent the spread of the flu virus. The main suggestions include hand washing, covering your nose and mouth with a tissue or your elbow when coughing and sneezing, avoiding close contact with sick individuals, and avoiding touching your eyes, nose or mouth. In addition, they remind students that surgical masks are available in the Campus Center, Student Health Center and at the front desks of residence halls should sick students choose to wear one. Resident assistants in each dormitory are also distributing thermometers and sanitizing hand wipes to interested individuals. New on campus this year are hand sanitizer dispensers, found in locations where germs are likely to spread to a greater number of people. This includes the Campus Center, coffee shop and computer labs. Students, faculty and staff

who have flu-like symptoms are highly encouraged to stay off campus until they recover. “There have been several e-mail notifications telling students and employees to stay home when ill with fever, cough or sore throat until they are fever free for twenty-four hours without the use of fever-reducing medications,” said Dolata. For students who cannot leave campus and feel they might have the virus or have already been diagnosed with H1N1, Carroll will allow them to stay in an isolated room. Should the H1N1 virus spread to a greater number of students, Barry maintains that the Carroll community will persevere and make accommodations as necessary. If students miss several weeks of class or if the campus needed to shut down, Barry feels classes could continue online through the My Courses system. “We want to keep things going as much as we can,” she said. Students absent from classes as a result of the H1N1 virus should inform their instructors of their absence but will not be required to submit a doctor’s excuse. Both Barry and Dolata encourage students, faculty and staff to take advantage of the frequent seasonal flu vaccine clinics on campus, which cost $25 per person. These clinics will be joined by H1N1 vaccine clinics when the new vaccine becomes available to the public in midOctober. The next seasonal flu clinic will be held on Thursday, Oct. 8 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Ganfield Gymnasium.

Academy health classes Dave Byrne Staff Writer

Carroll University’s community outreach program, Carroll Academy, has expanded to include new programs for adults dedicated to allied health training and education. While these classes do not offer college credits, it is already evident that they are helping to educate people in the Waukesha community looking for new careers. Carroll Academy offers noncredit enrichment classes in a variety of subject areas for nearly all ages. It recently joined Condensed Curriculum International, a company that partners with colleges and universities nationwide to provide applied health science programs to communities. The new programs include medical billing and coding, medical assistant administration and pharmacy technicians. Following the first semester of offering these programs, three pharmacy tech students have passed the national exam, one medical billing and coding student was hired at a local hospital and another has an upcoming interview. Dr. Cathleen Morris, Director of Community Arts and head of Carroll Academy, began working with the outreach program in 1999. At that time, Carroll Academy was known as Project Create and focused mainly on the arts such as music, theater and dance. Since then Morris has expanded the programs and added new classes. One of the other main programs Morris brought to light was the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, or STEM program. “We wanted to be able to offer classes to young students in math and science to go along with some of the programs we

offer here at Carroll,” Morris said. “We work with various programs and departments all across Carroll’s campus.” In addition to its involvement of members of the community, several Carroll Academy classes are taught by Carroll University students. Some of these classes include Russian and Spanish tutoring, fencing, computer illustration and Photoshop, radio production and radio station engineering. Morris said she always tries to have Carroll University students teach classes or tutor other students. “It gives them a chance to use their skills, and it gives people in the community a chance to do things they may not otherwise have the chance to do,” she said. Carroll Academy classes are primarily held at off-campus locations such as the Bright Days Learning Center and the Montessori School of Waukesha during the fall and spring semesters. It offers classes in a variety of subject areas including music, theater, tutoring, health education, graphic design, writing, math, science, and engineering.

Obamacare: how fair is it? Luke Bennewitz

Staff Writer During the debate on healthcare reform, Republicans and Democrats have been pitted against each other in a whirl of tension that will truly determine the socially awkwardness in Congress for the next months or so. But why is there so much attention about this one specific issue? This question can be answered using the standard political spectrum that Americans are accustomed to. Republicans are concerned about the government’s role in the economy, fueling the never-quenching anger in the conservative right that Obama will turn the country socialist. However, while this argument is at the pivotal centerpiece of this debate, it is fundamentally flawed and the GOP fails to see the other side o f the coin. Americans are already under the ever tightening grip of insurance companies around the country, with these monopolies gaining millions upon millions every year because of sky-rocketing medical care. We are living in a system where instead of paying for insurance that we can use, we have people behind desks trying to find loop-holes to get around paying for coverage you deserve. So is this fair? I’m finding it hard to agree. However, the current healthcare legislation going through Congress at the time seeks to mend the wounds of people not getting coverage because of pre-existing conditions, offering an option sponsored by the government

that would give them healthcare regardless of the health of the person. I know the idea of not having health insurance is a very scary idea for a college student. A few years down the road from now, I know I’ll probably have to start thinking about where I want to go to get health insurance and the idea of not being covered, even for a day, would scare me. Therefore, I find the concept of a government option one that facilitates people’s needs much more tolerable. Before any conservative throws their arms up in discontent, President Obama and other members of Congress have stressed the point of an “option”. This is by no means a government mandate for people to have a unitary of health insurance with the government because you do not have to give up what you have now if you don’t want to. This new healthcare legislation does not fit the category of “government controlled economy”. This is not such a new idea, either. We have been living with government versus private options for hundreds of years. Post-secondary education is a great example of mixing private and public options. All college students should take a good look at what exactly they are criticizing. Bottom line: for those people with health insurance, you can keep it. This government option is providing people another avenue to get covered so that we can work towards our goal of having every American get health insurance. Whether the legislation will pass or not, we will have to wait and see, but in either case it is a huge step towards making sure every person is covered.

Facts on health care reform

Nearly 1 in 3 of the uninsured are between 18 and 24 years old.

Under proposed legislation, every individual who earns less than $14, 000 becomes eligible for Medicaid.

Under proposed legislation, everyone without insurance will be penalized.

There will be incentives for students who want to work in the medical field.

42 people sought Badgercare Plus for transitional youth in the county of Waukesha in September alone.

45.7 million people had no healthcare sometime in 2007.

The cost of reform could be anywhere from $645 billion to $1.3 trillion over 10 years.

Claims that the legislation would establish "death panels" have made this one of the most controversial and talked-about provisions in the House measure. But they are fiction.

Health insurance CEOs averaged $8.7 trillion in compensation in 2006 alone. Facts taken from U.S. Census Bureau, CQPolitics.com and forwardhealth.wi.gov.

New choir professor brings new ideas Heather Dugan

Black StudentUnion, Union LASO. BSU also hopes Evihn Vaszily

Staff Writer Members of the Black Student Union (BSU) have been getting involved in a vast area of areas on Carroll University campus and the surrounding community. Overall, the BSU is an organization intended to promote cultural diversity at Carroll University. The group intends to create a more multicultural environment in general by bringing together not only students of African American decent, but of any ethnic background. Meetings, which occur every Thursday at 9:30 p.m., usually involves the exchange of information on the background and culture of the people in the group. These include not only conversation and sharing of ideas, but also food and other physical activities the students can use to enhance the experience. However, in addition to providing students a chance to meet new people and socialize, the group envisions further goals and aspirations as well. BSU hopes to be involved in an upcoming service project with the Latin American Student

to become further involved in community service, and plans for future events are already underway. The group intends to maintain its high aspirations in the competitions of homecoming week. This year BSU member Eli Yang has been highly involved in choreographing the dance BSU intends to perform as part of “Yell Like Hell.” The organization puts particular focus on this event because of their success in past years. “I hope to continue the tradition,” Yang said. Yang points out the interactivity of the group in particular. “It is a great means of drawing people closer together,” Yang commented. “Members of BSU just tend to get along regardless of their background, which is what makes the group so great. In the future, I hope to see expansion of the group’s membership, as well as growth of its involvement on campus.” Make sure to look out for the BSU and Carroll Players 3rd Annual AIDs Awareness Fashion Show in December, which raises awareness about AIDs through music, dance, theatre, and fashion.

Hansen connects through watercolor Lauren Schmitt Staff Writer

Shirley Hansen’s watercolor paintings will be displayed in the Humphrey Art Center in the Rowe Art Gallery through Oct. 11. When Shirley Hansen decided to attend Carroll as a student, she intended to be an art teacher. However, in 1946, after attending Carroll for three years, she left to join the U.S. Coast Guard Women’s Reserve. She now lives in Michigan. Hansen has painted her whole life, and has fond feelings for Carroll. Many of her paintings illustrate her travels in Michigan, Florida and Wisconsin. Her brush strokes are loose and fluid and she depicts traditional subject matter such as landscapes. “It was fun to feature someone connected to Carroll, ” Said Peggy Farrell, Assistant Professor of Art. She believes Hansen is an accomplished watercolorist and wants people to appreciate the way she uses paint and color. “I like how she handles water and there is an effective use of lights and darks,” Farrell said, “Hansen’s depiction of trees is especially accomplished, plus watercolor is a difficult medium because it dries quickly and there is no way to rework it.” One of Hansen’s paintings called, “Along Lake Shore Drive”

Hansen’s work is on display until Oct. 11. Photo by Jessica Williams.

demonstrates her accomplished use of color and light. The painting illustrates a beautiful autumn day with a road passing through a forest. The bright colors of autumn appear even more vivid when they are paired with dark brown tree trunks. The painting, “New Orleans Courtyard” is also an interesting piece because viewers’ eyes can look through buildings, windows, and passageways and truly feel a part of a courtyard in New Orleans. Though Hansen’s exhibit ends Sunday, make sure to visit the next Faculty Art Show Oct. 20 through Nov. 23.

Staff Writer Music is a culture in itself with many followers of its beautiful language. One of these followers is Dr. Kristina Boerger, who became Carroll’s new choral director this year. Boerger comes from an extensive musical background. She had been working with this form of art from the age of five, and from there her passion and lifestyle took off. “My mother noticed that I could sing and carry a note. She was the one that bought me my first piano and paid for my lessons. I now play piano, trumpet, guitar and drums thanks to my supportive family,” said Boerger. Boerger is not only fluent in playing instruments, but also enjoys to sing, and has been practicing in choir since a very early age. Due to her upbringing, she decided to attend the University of Illinois as a piano major, but soon realized that this wasn’t her true calling. “I didn’t have the temperament to be a pianist and sit in the practice room for four hours a day,” said Boerger. “ I was too involved with other things. I also just couldn’t envision this as a career, so my junior year I switched majors and decided to pursue a choral major instead.” After she graduated with her bachelor’s degree, she took a job as a choral director in Kenosha, Wis. She also created a music choir in Champaign, taught high school for a year and college for two years before she earned her doctorates. Later on she went to New York as a freelancer to attain more experience in her field. “I wanted to challenge myself, and by doing so my dreams came true, I was working with my heroes. I also taught music history

at Barnard College and choral conducting in Manhattan,” said Boerger. “Carroll seemed to be the best fit for me. I am able to work with a great administration and wonderful students, who are eager to learn and grapple the challenging art form,” Boerger said. Boerger took a new approach to the upcoming concert. The concert features pairs of music in which the music is completely different in one way, but the exact same in another. For example, the words might be the same, but the time period it is sung in is different. Among

the components are a Gregorian chant, Anglican worship tradition, Appalachian songs, a piece about fire in the heart, a piece about saying goodbye and a piece that is lament by sailors. Most importantly, Boerger wants her students to improve their sight singing, and educate the Waukesha and surrounding areas about different styles of music. Boerger has many goals that she wants to accomplish at Carroll. The choir’s first concert is Oct. 24 at 7:30pm in Shattuck auditorium.

MAKING THE WORLD A

Surrogates, no cheese found Robin Kopec

Staff Writer The movie, Surrogates portrayed an eerily perfect world, free of disease, crime, and danger. Yet with the ability to plug into a machine while your surrogate robot goes out and lives for you, comes the frightening fact that the face you look at may in fact be someone very different. Some humans don’t buy into the “Life, only better� advertised by the Virtual Self Industries, and start reservations where there are “NO MACHINES ALLOWED�. Surrogates followed the investigation of the murders by a weapon capable of killing not only the surrogate, but the human connected to it. Bruce Willis plays Tom Greer, who leads the investigation to hunt down the man with the weapon and

prevent the horrifying death of others. Throughout the movie, one could see the internal struggle of Greer to remain true to his humanity, and live by his human form, not his surrogate. The plot was layered and attention-grabbing, raising the very important question of whether having a perfect body and outward appearance can create a worthwhile and valuable life. However, the ending could have been portrayed in stronger imagery to better help the audience realize the gravity of the situation. Nevertheless, Surrogates really was realistic and drew the audience in without cheesy subplots or overuse of special effects. For extra fun, create your own surrogate on http://chooseyoursurrogate.com I give it FOUR surrogaterobot thumbs up, out of FIVE.

Pioneer Pete brings spirit to Carroll

Champ mingles with the crowd at the big game. A second Carroll mascot once fielded events named Pioneer Sally. However, she was discontinued when her costume was deemed too risqué. Photo by Jessica Williams.

Garrett T. Laugavitz Staff Writer

The Mascot - a local hero, a staple of college life, and a reflection of campus attitudes and values. For many decades, if not centuries, mascots have connected with fans, rallying the home team to victory and bringing a certain cadence and tradition to the game. Aside from attending sporting events, Carroll University's mascot Pio Pete, or Champ, has also begun attending Campus Days tours aimed at prospective students,

in an effort to make a positive impression of the school and its athletics department. "It's more than just school spirit," said the student filling Pio Pete’s bright orange shoes, "We're getting involved in different departments – not just on the sidelines." After pitching the idea of getting the mascot more involved in school functions, Jim Weisman, Vice President of Enrollment, was immediately on board. There was no reason not to utilize Pio Pete in events that draw 200-300 interested high school students, for example.

The name of Carroll's mascot has been a matter of some question. It was up for rebranding eleven years ago when the athletics department was restructured. Students voted to call him Champ, reflecting the Athletic Department's slogan, Building Champions. "But tradition is hard to break," said the mascot, "I'm still widely referred to as Pio Pete." A second Carroll mascot once fielded events named Pioneer Sally. However, she was discontinued when her costume was deemed too risqué. However, mascot life isn't all high-fives and foam fingersit really is a lot of work. One needs tenacity, endurance and a high tolerance for sweaty polyester for starters, all qualities that make this Pio Pete a Champ. Come see Pio Pete cheer on the men’s soccer team for White-Out Day, Wednesday, October 21. That’s right, all white after Labor Day. Nobody said a mascot’s got to be a slave to fashion, just a catalyst for school spirit. Make sure to look for Champ at homecoming, the men and women's soccer games, and the homecoming parade ushering in a new school year of challenges both intellectual and athletic alike.

Carroll University’s Mens’ and Womens’ Cross Country teams have not forgotten the strong start to the season, despite the despite the lower placings in recent races. “We’ve been seeing a lot more teams in competitions and a lot better teams in competitions,” said O’Grady. Both teams have seen declines in the standings as the season progresses, but none as noticeable as the most recent events. Still, the teams remain hopeful, evaluating their events based on performance rather then rank. “I think everyone wants to get faster at every race,” O’Grady stated, referencing her own personal goal for the season. O’Grady finished second, but ranked first, behind an unattached runner to win her fourth straight race at the Brissman-Lundeen Invitational. However, the Lady Pioneers were unable to continue this success throughout the race. The men’s team experienced similar difficulties. The men’s team placed fifteenth out of twenty-six teams at Augustana College’s Brissman-Lundeen Invitational, finishing with a score of 480. AJ Sobrilsky led the Pioneers with a time of 26:33.60, being the thirty-second ranked runner to finish. He was the only Pioneer to finish until Joe Zambetti came through in one-hundredth with a time of 28:14.40. Three Pioneers finished in the next thirty. The women’s team finished the event in ninth out of twenty-one teams. O’Grady

ranked first with a time of 19:22.80, but the Lady Pioneers would end with a score of 245. The next runner to finish was Kaitlin Daugherty, ranked thirty-ninth, with a time of 21:34.40. Michelle Weber and Jessica Laurin were the next Lady Pioneers to finish, ranking fifty-third and fifty-fourth respectively. “I think we’ll do really well. I think we’ve been doing really well,” said O’Grady about the season. The Sean Earl Invitational in Chicago could bear some testimony to that. Both teams were matched up with a few Division 1 teams for the event and, while neither team had major success, both avoided major defeat. The men placed twentysixth out of thirty-nine teams, finishing with a final score of 846. Sobrilsky would be the fiftieth runner to rank, finishing with a time of 26:30.00. Another Carroll runner wouldn’t follow him until Noah Bernhardt and Zambetti with ranks of 247 and 248. The score of 846 was good enough to place them in first among Division III teams in the field. O’Grady led the Lady Pioneers to eighteenth place, finishing with a fifth place individual ranking. With a time of 17:57.00, O’Grady was only seventeen seconds behind first place Terry Phillips from Missouri State. Overall, the Lady Pioneers had a score of 464, with six runners finishing within the first one hundred and fifty. Cross Country has a week off before returning to action Oct. 17 at the Brooks Invitational, hosted by UW-Oshkosh.

Women’s Tennis preps for MWC tourney Justin Koepsell Editorial Staff

The Carroll University Women’s Tennis team put together one of their best seasons in school history having a 7-2 record and a five game winning streak entering a pseudo playoff match with Beloit College. The trip down to the state line was not kind to the Lady Pioneers as the Buccaneers sent the guests away with 2-7 loss. Kate Rasmussen was the only Lady Pio to win a singles match taking the No. 4 Singles 6-3, 6-3. The doubles play wasn’t much better for orange and blue. Samantha Bachmann and Alyssa Larson was the only pair to win taking the No. 2 Doubles 8-4. “It was a lot closer than the score shows.,” said Coach Al Pruefer. After [Beloit] got the five wins they needed to win the match we lost two points in super tiebreakers. The loss pretty much knocked Carroll out of contention for Midwest Conference Team Tournament. A win would have put them in a very good position to make the Team Tournament for the second time in three years. They are still currently in it but with no divisional games left and one game back they need a lot to happen to sneak in. Carroll came into the match on a role with three straight wins of five matches or more. A trip to Illinois gave the orange and blue two wins as they were able to put out the Knox College Prairie Fire 7-2 on the morning of Sept. 26. The in the afternoon they took down Monmouth College 8-1 to improve their record to 6-2 on the year.

She also teamed up with Samantha Bachmann in No. 2 Doubles and winning the matches by scores of 8-2 and 8-0. “She plays excellent tennis,” said Pruefer. “She had a really close match with the No. 2 Singles defending conference champion from Beloit. Before that she was on a 5 match winning streak.” Three days later they came into a Midwest Conference North Division matchup with the Ripon Red Hawks at Kilgour Trailblazer Tennis Courts. Except for a supertiebreaker loss at No. 1 Singles Carroll stole the show winning

the showdown 8-1. The win moved the Lady Pios to 2-1 in the Midwest Conference North Division and sitting right behind Beloit and St. Norbert College. They have two nonconference match-ups this week, Lake Forest College in Illinois on Tuesday and at home against Mt. Mary College at 3:30p.m. on Thursday. The focus then shifts to the Midwest Conference Doubles and Singles Tournament. “I’m not basing our season off the Beloit match,” said Pruefer. “We have an excellent team this year. Some of our players have excellent records and I feel we can play with anybody.” There is still a slim chance the Lady Pios can make the The Team Tournament in Rockford, Ill. on Oct. 16. The Doubles Tournament takes place Oct. 17 and the Singles Tournament follows on Oct. 18. Both take place at Nielsen Tennis Center in Madison, Wis.

Women’s Soccer tears through MWC Justin Koepsell Editorial Staff

The Carroll University women’s soccer team was riding high after their five game start that had them sitting at 4-0-1. They made a trip to UW-Whitewater for a big nonconference contest. In wet conditions the Lady Pioneers struck first as Cody Callender notched her fourth goal of the year off of a pass from Kaitlin Roy in the 4th minute. Five minutes later Whitewater struck back to tie the game. They added another goal before halftime to give the girls in purple a 2-1 lead. The Warhawks would add two more goals in the second half to win the game 4-1 ending the Lady Pios perfect season just before Midwest Conference play started. League play started at home in the rain as Carroll took on one of her oldest rivals in Ripon College. The Lady Pios got off to a slow start in

the water-logged rubber. A corner kick by Kylie Ringelstetter was put in by Kelly Blenner to give the Orange a lead. In the second half Leah Wiercinski, Blenner and Kelley Moran all added goals giving Carroll a 4-0 victory. “We’re going great,” said goalkeeper Ashlee Reinke. “Team chemistry gets better every game.” Carroll hosted Lake Forest College in conference matchup. Amanda Leach put the Lady Pios on the scoreboard in the third minute of the game. Ringelstetter added another goal five minutes later. In the second half Kendell Uttech and Callender added scores to give Carroll a 4-0 win. The Lady Pioneers first Midwest Conference road game was in Appleton, Wis. against the Lawrence University Vikings. Callender put on a scoring clinic as she had a hat trick in the first half of the game. Liz Melcher and Uttech also added first half scores for a

5-0 lead. In the second half, Callender added two more goals to put her at five for the day setting a school record for most goals in a game. Kelly Moran added two more to give Carroll a 9-2 win and moved them into a tie for first place in the Midwest Conference at 3-0-0. “When we play our game, the game we know how to,” said Coach Jason Bretzmann, “very few teams can stop us, especially in our conference. We’re off to a good start and we’re learning and improving.” For their efforts over the past week Reinke and Callender were named Midwest Conference Performers of the Week. The Lady Pios return to action on Wednesday, Oct. 7th when they have a home nonconference match against CCIW opponent Augustana College. Kickoff is at 5p.m. “The key is to not overlook anyone,” said Reinke. “Play everyone like it’s the biggest game.”

Coming off their first win of the season over Grinnell College, Carroll was hoping to keep that momentum going. Unfortunately they ran a freight train as eleventh-ranked nationally Monmouth College came to town. Led by second team preseason All-American Alex Tanney at quarterback, the Fighting Scots used their Midwest Conference best offense to roll to a 41-3 win. Carroll fought valiantly and was able to stick with them early on. Despite two key fumbles, the Pioneer offense found themselves down 14 in the second quarter with ball inside Monmouth’s 10-yard line. Unfortunately a Chris Casper pass on fourth down fell incomplete. Monmouth took the ball and drove the length of the field for a touchdown and pushed the lead to 24-3. The Scots coasted to their 16th straight Midwest Conference win. In a game of few highlights for the Pioneers they were able to become the first team to intercept Alex Tanney all year when Michael Otto picked him off in the second quarter. The defense also held Monmouth to their lowest offensive output during conference play this year. Casper threw for 104 yards and Geoff Stuhr caught 43 of them. “We’re a little disappointed with how the season has gone so far,” said Coach Henny Heimenz. “But there’s a lot of games left and we have been improving every week.” The next game for the

Pioneers would be against rival Ripon College at Ingalls Field in the birthplace city of the Republican Party. Ripon came into the game 3-0 in the conference yielding only 7 seven points in Midwest Conference play. The Pioneers struck first blood when Tim Nass caught Casper’s pass from eleven yards out. Ripon responded with two rushing touchdowns but Joe Beckstrand found the end zone on a one-yard run to tie the game before halftime. Unfortunately the orange team’s offense stalled in the second half only accumulating 103 yards. The Ripon offense kept rolling scoring 17 second half points and sending the visitors away with 14-31 loss. Beckstrand led the rushing attack for the Pios with 62 yards on 14 carries. Casper threw for 171 yards and Stuhr received for 66 yards. “We need to run the ball consistently,” said Heimenz. “We’ve won when we have and have lost when we haven’t.”

‘76 football team comes home Martin Pitzer Staff Writer

The Carroll University 1976 football team will be honored during halftime of the Homecoming Football Game as they celebrate their 33 year reunion with today’s students. The team had a season record of 8-1-1 with Steve Thompson, 54, from East Troy, Wis. as the 1976 Pioneers quarterback. Thompson said he had no regrets and would not change a moment of his time at Carroll. He went on to say that the most important thing he experienced during his time at Carroll was the closeness the team shared. “What we accomplished in the ‘76 season was a result of everyone on the team working together and that it wasn’t an individual effort that helped the team that year,” Thompson said. “I owe my success as a quarterback to Coach Miller

who taught me to be a good team player.” Former coach Steve Miller, 65, of Iowa mirrored Thompson’s sentiments, that with any team, the difficult part is to get the players to look beyond themselves and work as

a team to achieve the greater goal. Miller said individual egos tend to ruin games and the ‘76 team was a rare exception which enabled the team to have a winning season. “Teams win; individuals are just a part of it. The better you are, the harder it is to except that fact”, said Miller. In Millers opinion, Thompson had the talent to be an NFL player but he chose to pursue his medical career as an anesthesiologist. “Thompson was an outstanding runner, had a tremendous arm and was such a competitor and leader,” said Miller. In fact, according to a September 1976 article in the

Waukesha Freeman, Thompson was scouted by Frank Uible of the Cincinnati Bengals. Uible’s only disappointment during that game was that Thompson had thrown only 13 times during the game, but went on to say it was one of the best games that year and was a well coached team. “During the fall of ‘76 we had no practice field. Van Male Field (now Schneider Stadium) was just being built and the team was forced to practice at Minooka Park which didn’t have a level spot and used a tree with a bent branch as the uprights. Players would get to practice by pickups, cars or however they could get to practice,” said Miller. “We played our home games at Waukesha South High School until Van Male field opened to finish the last three games of the season, “ said Miller. “And also hosted the NCAA Division III tournament game at our new facility.” The team was the first in school history to win the football championship in the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin. They were also the first football team and the only one in school history to be selected for the NCAA Playoffs. They opened their postseason in the quarterfinals at home against Buena Vista College (IA). In a hard fought game the teams remained deadlocked at the end of regulation. It was the first college football game to go into overtime. Buena Vista unfortunately triumphed 20-14. Thompson’s advice to students today is, “Whatever you want to be or wish to be is within [their] grasp.” He stressed that his experience on the Carroll football team helped him to be a better team player in his work in the operating room as a part of a team. Thompson said if we incorporate these ideas to our life style, it will ultimately lead to your success. The Carroll team will be back during homecoming to be introduced and honored during halftime for their unforgettable 1976 season.

Men’s Soccer bounces back Stephen Thurgood Staff Writer

Coming into the last game of non-conference play the men’s soccer team was undefeated. With a record of 5-0-2, they were hardly challenged by their previous opponents, posting some impressive results. It can be argued that having an undefeated preseason is beneficial for team morale, however, for Coach Rick Mobley it is different in this case. “You learn more from a loss than you do from a win,” stated the Coach Mobley,“... playing Whitewater pointed out a lot of flaws that we didn’t get shown from some of our other opponents.” The game on Sept. 22 against UW-Whitewater ended 2-4, which was a harsh score line for CU, as the game was relatively equal. CU’s usual goal scorers were off the mark in this match. Despite ending the preseason with a loss, they started Midwest Conference play with a 3-0 win against Lake Forest. UW-Whitewater got off to a flying start scoring off a rebound in the fifth minute of the game. This was a sign of how the game would play out for Carroll. The first period was relatively one sided, with Whitewater posting 11 shots to CU’s 5 and Whitewater’s third and fourth goal came in quick succession after the hour mark, putting CU down 4-0, a score

that none of the players had seen this season. Morale must have been at a low, but for Coach Mobley positives could be taken from this. “If you were to take the first 60 minutes; we clearly had the better scoring opportunities,” said Coach Mobley. “So even down four to nothing, the tightness of the match wasn’t revealed in the score-line.” Coach Mobley is not worried by this, regarding the Whitewater game he conceded, “We didn’t get blown out. Their scoring chances they put away, ours simply didn’t go in and that’s just how soccer goes.” In the game against Lake Forest on Sept. 30, CU took a nine game conference winstreak, in which the Coach hoped to continue; “...we want to keep the ball rolling and... Show the rest of the conference we are still a player for the conference championship.” CU did just that, on a night that showed fall had truly arrived, it took time for the players to get into a groove. They came to life after the half hour mark when Andy Prentice capitalized on a stint of pressure for CU, scoring in the thirty-second minute. From then on out. CU was unlucky to only score two further goals in the second period; Craig Carlson and Marc Hietpas scored in quick succession leading to a 3-0 victory. On Oct. 3, CU traveled to Lawrence for their second

Midwest Conference match of the season. Craig Carlson, Mike Klug and Marc Hietpas all put in first half goals allowing CU to coast to a 3-0 win The win moves CU to

7-1-2. They are slowing sneaking up in the rankings. They are currently ranked third in the Midwest Conference, and fifth in the latest North Region NSCAA ranking.

They finished fourth of six with a two day score of 754. Whitewater also won this meet with a final score of 706. Angelina Parinello led the Lady Pioneers over the twomeet weekend with scores of 87, 91, and 88. She carried that momentum to the conference tournament where she took the individual title, the first individual conference title in program history. Like the team, she lead the whole weekend. Also, like the team, she faced difficulty on the final day. She jumped to a ten-stroke lead after putting up scores of 84 and 82 on the first two days. The final day she faced really difficulty on the front nine. “She had one really bad hole,” said Coach Andrews. “ I think it was like an eight or a nine on the hole but she kept it together.” She ended up with a 94 for the day but still held on for a six-stroke win with a final score of 260. Parinello wasn’t the only Lady Pio to medal as two teammates, senior Tracy Vanderloop and sophomore Brittany Puta joined her on the all-conference team. Vanderloop shot a 285 for sixth place and Puta shot a 275 for fifth. Sophomore Dominique DeMattio and freshman Abbie Sidders both shot 293 missing the all conference list by one stroke. “All six of our golfers had a chance to make all-conference going into the final day,” said Coach Andrews. Coach Andrews has lead a remarkable turn around for the program that was in his word “shambles” when he got here four years ago in 2006. There is one golfer from that team still playing, Tracy Vanderloop, who was a freshman on

that first team Coach Andrews headed. “We couldn’t field a full team,” said Coach Andrews. “We had basketball players helping out playing for us. It wasn’t a lot of fun, there wasn’t much motivation and Tracy just stuck with it.” The team finished in last place in the Midwest Conference Tournament that first year. The place was duplicated in 2007 before there was improvement to third in the conference in 2008. “I am very happy to have success with [Tracy] still here,” said Coach Andrews. “She was very important to the success we have had.” The team now has their sights set on the NCAA National Championship meet. It will be a new experience for the team to have a meaningful meet in spring. “In the past there hasn’t been a lot of desire to play in the spring,” said Coach Andrews. “We only had one meet in spring last year but the team will be very anxious to work hard come spring. I will be looking at getting them in tougher tournaments. The NCAA National Championship starts May 11th at Mission Inn Resort in Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida. While this will be the first trip to the National Championship for Carroll, Coach Andrews doesn’t want to be one of those teams happy to make it. “We’re enjoying it now and looking forward to it,” said Coach Andrews. “But we are not going to be happy with just being there. Our conference hasn’t done the best down there in the past. Our goal is to finish well and play well all four days.”

Women’s Golf wins Midwest Conference crown Justin Koepsell Editorial Staff

The Carroll University women’s golf team’s season just got a lot longer. After winning their first Midwest Conference Championship in program history the team received the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA national championship meet in Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida. The meet gets under way May 11th. The Lady Pioneers started off the Midwest Conference Championship with a bang, taking a 31 shot lead over second place Ripon College after day one of the meet. Carroll freshmen lead the way for the team and the conference carding a score of 84. Day two the weather conditions remained the same. Rain came down in sheets as Carroll continued her dominance adding 17 strokes to lead and going into the clubhouse Saturday night with a 48 stroke lead over the field. On the final day there was a decline in play by the Lady Pioneers as they went from

scores of 357 and 363 the first two days to a score of 385 the final day. Even with the weaker showing and a charging Grinnell College team, Carroll was able to hold on with a 26-stroke win for the conference crown. “We played great,” said Coach Dave Andrews. “We got so much better during the season. The conditions this weekend were unbelievable. We practiced in crappy weather and there was no complaining out of the girls when it happened this weekend.” Coach Andrews said they prepared for the conference tournament by playing tough competition on difficult courses across the state. They also prepared for the grueling three-day conference weekend by playing three days last weekend. They started on Friday at the UW-Whitewater Invitational where they finished in third place out of five schools with a score of 355, twentyone strokes behind Whitewater who took first. They then headed to UWPlatteville for a two-day meet.
