Student senate president offers words of wisdom Luke Bennewitz Editorial Staff
Welcome to Carroll University, Class of 2015! My name is Luke Bennewitz and I am incredibly honored to serve as your student body President. Carroll is a place that I call home. When I first arrived on campus three years ago, I was going through the same emotions that you have been feeling: nervous, excited, and anxious for what college had in store for me. But once I had started to experience what Carroll had to offer, I knew for a fact that this university was a place that I would always be home for me. I hope that you will take time during your academic career at Carroll to experience what this great place has to offer. As the oldest university in Wisconsin, Carroll has a long history filled with a rich heritage which you are now a part of, even more now because of your record breaking incoming class of over 800 students! As I begin my last year at Carroll, I would like to pass on some “words of wisdom” that I have learned over the past three years to help you experience the most out of this great school.
Tip #1
Tip #2
Tip #3
Get Involved: No matter what it might be, get involved in something on campus. Whether that is a student organization, an athletic team, a study group, or anything in between, getting involved on campus is extremely important. Find something that you are passionate about and roll with it. Some of the most important lessons that I have learned from Carroll have been from being involved in student organizations.
Get to know the Faculty, Staff, and Administration: These great people will be some of the most important people you will meet on campus. Take the time to get to know them because you can learn a lot.
You are the future leaders of Carroll…Embrace it: During your time here, you will take on various leadership responsibilities. These are your opportunities to learn, grow, and see how high you can jump. Don’t be nervous about this, but rather embrace it and know that you will be making important decisions that will impact the future of Carroll. These moments will help you define the leader that you are.
Tip #4
Tip #5
Tip #6
Keep an Open Mind: During your time here, you will meet many people that come from different backgrounds from your own. Remember to be open to taking a leap of faith, even if you are not sure where that will take you. Some of the most worthwhile experiences that you have will be from you just taking that first step out of your comfort zone.
As Oprah says, “Show me your friends and I’ll show you your future”: As you meet people at Carroll, you will make several friendships. You will see friendships grow and you will see some fade away, but always remember to surround yourself with friends and are honest and true. These close friends will help you discover who you really are.
Have fun and take time for yourself: If you have a lot of work and responsibility on your plate, remember to take some time out of your day for relaxation. This will help you focus better and keep you motivated so that you don’t wear yourself down too quickly.
Who do you know?: Connect the names and faces of your resources on campus. PAGE 3
Getting around: Pull out and pocket a handy map of local Waukesha.

Soccer Previews: Both teams expected to compete in the MWC this year. PAGE 7
Hopefully you will practice some of these important tips during your time at Carroll. You have chosen a great place to come to college and I hope that you get the most out of your time here and that you will also call Carroll University home.

Editorial Staff Renovations around campus that began during this past summer, including the bookstore, north quad area near Shattuck and Otteson, the Au bon Pain restaurant in Frontier Hall, 202 College Ave., and the corners on East Ave. and College Ave. are completed or are seeing their final stages of completion. “They lost two days because of rain and that set them back because they were working on weekend to make up for that time,” said Dr. Theresa Barry, Dean of Students. “I think that by Wednesday a lot of that area in the north quad will be open. Construction, while it may be hard to get around, does show progress and how much our university is moving forward… I think we will continue to see that more and more.”
Ron Lostetter, Chief Financial Officer and Vice President of Finance, gave the details on the projects and their completion dates. Bookstore: “The bookstore project on the first floor of the Campus Center is complete,” Lostetter said. “The only part that remains is the conference wall that will be installed in the basement level of the text book area.” Lostetter also stated that there will also be new carpet and new paint in the text book area, which will be started after the initial rush during the beginning of the semester. North Quad: “The handicap entrances to Shattuck and Otteson are accessible now,” said Lostetter. “The area that is under construction is in the process of shrinking so that the construction area takes up less space on campus.” Lostetter also com-
mented on the projected expectations in the upcoming days, stating that, pending on weather cooperation, the barrier between Shattuck and the Todd Wehr Memorial library, the barriers up to Otteson and Shattuck from East Ave., and the alley between Todd Wehr Memorial Library and Van Male Gymnasium will be removed to provide access for students. Additionally, while there will still be construction from Otteson parking lot to the half circle by Van Male, but students will be able to travel through that area through a small pathway on the side of Van Male, Lostetter stated. Au Bon Pain: Au Bon Pain is hoping to pass health inspection tests, which plan to be going on and being completed by the end of the day on Tuesday, Lostetter stated. Lostetter plans
on having a soft opening of the restaurant on Thursday or Friday of this week. 202 College Ave. (The Math House): Faculty members will be moving into the house on Tuesday or Wednesday, stated Lostetter. The Mathematics department will be the primary occupants of that building. Corner Sidewalks by Campus Center: “There will be all new landscaping on the west side of the Campus Center,” said Lostetter. “On the main campus corner of East Ave. and College Ave. the brick will be replaced with cement and a smaller version of the medallion that is outside of Main Lawn.” Lostetter also clarified the reasoning for the start date of the project, saying that the projects only took three days and the difficulty for students was very minimal.

Special Contribution
New Location
The Department of Public Safety relocated over the summer from the Campus Center to it’s new home at 208 Wright Street. The new facility includes a purpose built dispatch areas well as separate offices and conference room facilities. The move to the new location provides much needed space for the current operation as well as providing room for growth. The department plans include construction of locker room facilities for department personnel as well as additional work space for officers. The detached garage provides both general storage as well as a work space for officers to maintain the bike patrol equipment.
An additional benefit to the new location is the ability to increase our working relationship with the City of Waukesha Police Department. One of the spaces in the new Public Safety Center will be used by the police as a work station. This will allow city officers to have a space to work on reports or conduct other business without the need to return to the station on the other side of the city. This partnership will be beneficial for both the city as well as the University. Stop by and visit our new home anytime.
Commuter Parking
The permit application for Commuter students is located on the Public Safety website. Application should be filled out

Frontier Hall makes debut on schedule
Community celebrates Carroll heritage during the grand opening of new residence hall Leigh Emmett
Editorial Staff Frontier Hall officially opened for Carroll students on Wednesday, Aug. 24th with a grand opening event to celebrate the occasion. The event was open to the entire campus in addition to the greater Waukesha community. Those in attendance were students, faculty, staff and members of the Board of Trustees. The event consisted of speeches from members of the Carroll community, includ-
ing Marna Tess-Mattner, Chair of the Board of Trustees, and Carroll’s President Dr. Douglas Hastad. Additionally, several members of the Waukesha Community gave speeches as well, including Mayor of Waukesha Jeff Scrima and County Executive Dan Vrakas. “I thought the grand opening was a wonderful event,” said Hastad. “It’s always exciting when you can look at a building and can recognize it as part of a
partnership and know that it will be filled with students who are passionate about Carroll. And I can’t wait to for the retail shops to be opened.” After the various speeches, other members of the Carroll community, including Jake Eisch, Frontier Hall’s Area Director and student body President Luke Bennewitz, went in front of the building’s main entrance to cut the ribbon. “The opening of Frontier
Hall represents Carroll’s continued commitment to providing a first class educational experience for all students,” said Bennewitz. “As we have seen in the past four incoming classes of first year students, Carroll continues to bring in record breaking numbers of students and Frontier Hall ensures that all students are able to have a quality living environment during their academic career.”

The faces on campus you should know
I think the best advice I could offer any freshman at this point in time is one, don’t be reluctant to get engaged in orientation activities, those are extremely important. Two, get to know as many first year students as possible, because, clearly, they will become your support group and they will become your friends. Three, get engaged in the community. We live in a nice neighborhood, we are neighbors to all the surrounding residents, get to know them, and certainly get to know downtown Waukesha. And then, don’t miss any classes. [It] takes two to deliver on the Carroll experience. One is the institution needs to make a commitment to students, which it will do. Secondly, students need to make a commitment to the institution. It’ll work if that happens.

Getting acquainted with your most valuable resources
The Carroll University Box Office sells tickets to the music and theatre events listed in the Arts Calendar and sometimes to major concerts and community events on campus. The Box Office is located in the Campus Center next to the info desk and is open M-F from 8am-4:30pm except during breaks and holidays. Transition to having the box office staffed by student workers at info desk will take place over the course of this year. Carroll students each receive a FREE ticket to listed events when they present their PiONEer Card. Stop at the box office for your ticket at least a few days before the performance.
If any freshman are interested in studying abroad, most students go there junior year, which, to most freshmen, seems really far off. The sooner you plan, the sooner you’ll know what classes you need to take, estimated cost and things like that. So, I just tell all freshmen to get in and start planning right away. Planning is the biggest thing. Even though you’re just here and you’re figuring things out, your junior year will come up quickly. [Our office is] changing a little bit. Going forward we’re hiring someone to do recruitment and work with study abroad programs, so I’ll be really focusing on international students on admission and then the development side when they’re here.

Go to the student organization fair so that they can learn more about the opportunities on campus and take advantage of the opportunities. Another piece of advice I would give for students, start thinking about their experiences on campus. Start thinking now for that amazing study abroad experience. We offer a lot of different opportunities for freshmen. There will be two week opportunities as well as semester, going all over the world.
At this point, this is the time when they can start dreaming and thinking about what they’d like to do. And come see us earlier rather than later so that we can help try and put that into motion and work with them to find the program and the opportunity that fits their needs, their interests and really gives them the chance to explore. We do a variety of things here. We provide opportunities for students to study off-campus, espe-
cially internationally. We also work with the international students who are studying here and provide opportunities and programs where students can connect and interact. One of those places is in the Diversity Lounge, so I encourage students to make use of the Diversity Lounge. I’m the director of international education. My responsibilities are to direct the activities of the office and the various activities.

International scrimmages bring speed, diversity to Carroll Football Coach K takes the reigns after serving as DC Ashley Joers Editorial Staff
The Carroll University football team has high hopes for the 2011 season. “This is the most well round team we have had,” said First-year Head Coach Mark Krzykowski, who previously served as defensive coordinator for the Pioneers. In May, the team was able to take a five-day international trip to Canada through the NCAA, which gave them ex-
tra practices and helped them learn how to work and scrimmage other teams internationally. The trip was very valuable for them, making them a faster team than last year. “We have a very strong senior class and we are looking forward for this season to start,” said Krzykowski. The team has a top receiving core in the Midwest Conference and has had number one defensive experience in the past, a trend they hope to con-
tinue. The coaching staff has welcomed in three new coaches onto the team, and has also seen some coaches shift positions. “This is a great year for Pioneer athletes across the board,” Krzykowski said. The team will play their first game Sept. 3 at 1 p.m. against Lakeland College at Schneider Stadium. Last season, the Pioneers handed Lakeland a 35-21 loss, starting what would ultimate-
ly become one of the most successful seasons in the program’s history. Carroll finished with a 8-3 record, going 7-3 in Midwest Conference play, finishing tied for second with Ripon and Monmouth College. The homeocming game is schedukled for Oct. 8 against Lawrence University. The 2011 Football Coaches Poll has Carroll slated to finish tied for fourth place with Illinois College.
Women’s soccer looks to continue dominance in Midwest Conference play New coach Foster boasts succesful resume
Josh Degrasse-Baumann Editorial Staff Under the direction of new head coach Susie Foster, the Lady Pioneer women’s soccer team will look to secure another spot, having appeared in the Midwest Conference tournament every year since 2002. In 2010, Carroll won the regular season in the Midwest Conference before suffering a 2-1 loss to Lawrence University in the conference tournament
final. A win would have secured their third consecutive NCAA tournament berth. A poll of Midwest Conference coaches shows that the Lady Pioneers are expected to continue their success, placing Carroll in first place. The first place vote came despite Carroll losing two players who set career records in 2010. Cody Callender set the Midwest Conference record for career goals with 69. Kendall Uttech also set the Lady Pioneer

Foster, replacing interim head coach Courtney Fryatt, has had a wealth of success in her career prior to Carroll, having led the Lady Red’s of Carthage College to a national ranking of 20, compiling a 68-41-10 record. Four of her six seasons as a head coach were winning seasons and she has had two teams appear in the NCAA tournament. She also enjoyed a succesful career as a goalie for Northwestern University .

Men’s soccer is built to succeed Pioneers hope to grab second consecutive MWC championship Josh Degrasse-Baumann Editorial Staff A preseason poll of Midwest Conference coaches has Carroll slated to repeat as Midwest Conference champions, which would give them their fourth berth in the NCAA Division III tournament. The Pioneers have appeared in five consecutive Midwest Conference tournaments, including an Midwest Conference championship in 2010. They were knocked out of the NCAA tournament by No. 5 UW-Oshkosh, but managed to score one of only five goals scored on the Titans all season. Three of Carroll’s top five 2010 goal scorers are returning, led by second-team All-
Midwest Conference Andy Ksobiech, who scored six goals. The squad also has a good mix of youth with 15 freshmen and 12 sophomores. The season will open at home Sept. 2 with a match against the Pirates of Whitworth University. The Pioneers will play three more home games before traveling to Macalester College. They will travel to Ripon College Oct. 15 for a matchup against the hosts of last year’s Midwest Conference tournament. Midwest Conference play opens up Sept. 24 against Knox College. The Midwest Conference tournament is scheduled for Nov. 4 and 5.
