Q&A pushes for gender neutral housing Living Learning Community proposal rejected Sean Hoe
Editorial Staff Carroll University has recently seen initiative from students for gender neutral housing on campus. The student organization Q&A: Queers and Allies, Questions and Answers has been working on the initiative since the the last academic year. The initial discussion consisted of ideas for a LGBTQA living learning community that included gender neutral housing for those living in the LLC after students researched other schools that had that options for students. This past month, the idea was brought to Carroll’s Senior Staff and the idea was not approved. “I know that there have been lots of discussions about it amongst certain groups have come to me asking for various kinds of housing options,” said Dr. Theresa Barry, Dean of Students and member of Senior Staff. “I know that they are working on researching it and further discussion is needed with Senior Staff about the topic.” Q&A has recently started a campus initiative to make progress towards the gender neutral housing portion of the initial proposal, consisting of a petition for students to sign, a table in the Campus Center for additional information, more research on gender neutral housing, ways to educate students about the topic (such as signs, shirts, slogans, etc.). Q&A is also working on a proposal to bring to Student Senate.
One of the important parts of the proposal would include information that the housing option would not be for students in an intimate relationship. Students would sign a housing contract stating that they are not choosing this option as a way to live with a significant other. “We’re not doing this for couples to live together, but for the safety and well-being for all students so that they can live comfortably with whomever they choose,” said Darlyn Buelow, President of Q&A. “I think that’s its incredibly important not only for LGBT community but for Carroll community in general.” An additional part of the proposal and initiative is that students will not be required to participate in this housing option if they do not want to, but rather students will be able to “opt-in” to the option. “If a student doesn’t want to live with someone of the opposite gender, then that student doesn’t have to,” said Buelow. “This will never impact the entire population at Carroll but the people that choose to be a part of it.” With the growing interest in the initiative, members of Q&A have scheduled the time frame for when they hope the program will go into effect and the housing locations that would be ideal. “We would like to see a pilot of this program first semester next year,” said Buelow. “We would hope that it can be successful and that it will contin-
Senate considers new themes
Possible ideas include Money, Power and Time Luke Bennewitz Editorial Staff Carroll University continues to move forward in its yearlong themes into the 2013 – 2014 academic year and beyond. The first year Carroll had a yearlong theme was Juliet two years ago, which had different activities and events centered on it. The following year was supposed to be David, but was later changed to Food, which was able to bring in several other activities and events that connected the different parts of the Carroll community as well as the Waukesha community. With this year’s theme of Water off to a strong start and next year’s theme of Energy decided on, the CU Student Affairs Committee has been meeting during September and October to brainstorm future theme ideas during the years beyond the year of Energy. Student Senate discussed different options brought forward from the committee and selected on three possible options: Money, Power, or Time. One of the three options will be decided upon in the coming weeks from Senior Staff for the 2013 – 2014 academic year’s theme.
ue to grow and get bigger and we would like to see if we can get a good portion of Pioneer or Frontier Hall.”
Dr. Barry and other members of the administration will continue to listen to student concerns and perspectives.
“If it’s something that students are going to keep having as top of the agenda then that’s something we’ll have to keep talking about,” said Dr. Barry.

Horned owl stolen, missing despite arrests
Budget may require cuts for police force
Dakota, a great horned owl, was stolen from the Wildlife in Need Center Saturday, Nov. 12. Police have arrested two juveniles thanks to an anonymous tip leading them to a Facebook page about the theft, but were not able to locate the owl. It is believed that there is one more person involved in the theft who has not yet been identified.
The Waukesha Finance Committee recommended cutting one police officer position to help balance the 2012 budget. The position is currently empty, but the committee is may also reccommend eliminating another police car replacement from the budget. The Finance Committee still needs to cut between 1.4 and 1.5 million dollars before the budget is where it needs to be.

Florence + the Machine’s second major studio release “Ceremonials,” dropped on Nov. 1. The sophomore album shows off Florence + the Machine’s indiepop rock tunes which the American mainstream fell in love with in the previous album “Lungs.” The first single, “Shake It Out,” captures the ballad turned pop groove sensation that the album evokes. The song arouses an image of a jaded lover who channels pain into lyrical creativity and imagery. Seeming to mirror the jilted love song turned inspirational ballad similar to the likes of Adele’s “Someone Like You,” Florence + the Machine capture that same effect here. The third track, “What The Water Gave Me,” is by far my favorite on the album. It has a darker pop-rock ballad feel coupled with a groove that sets in and brings back a retro indie vibe. The smooth listen that it is, coupled with the dark overtones and catchy lyrics capture that essence that brought Florence + the Machine into the limelight. The repeat button will be getting some attention due to this piece of the album. This is the sort of song that is good to delve into alone or in the background of pre-Thanksgiving studying. “Ceremonials” feels like another hit from Florence + the Machine, with similar pop-rock indie artists around, the competition is tough, but you will no doubt be seeing Florence + the Machine on the top charts within the coming weeks. You’ll definetly want to pick up a copy of “Ceremonials.”
I was an avid BlackBerry user for four years…until I decided to make the switch to the iPhone. While I first saw this as blasphemy, I was tired of restarting my phone every other day and having it freeze on my at the most inconvenient times. So, it was time for a change. The iPhone 4S is truly a remarkable piece of technology. It has all of the usual iPhone gadgets that Apple has perfected over the years and has made them even better yet. The iPhone continues to be one of the most user friendly devices on the market and the iPhone 4S has simplified things even more to make the owner’s life more concise. The best feature of the iPhone 4S is the Siri technology. Siri acts as a voice control system, except it reacts to what you request it to do. For example, if I want to know what the weather is like outside or if I have missed any calls, Siri will tell me. But it does not stop there: Siri’s voice recognition software allows the owner to set up appointments, reminders, and compose emails and messages without typing anything. While this added perk of the iPhone 4S might seem trivial, once you try out Siri, you will want to use Siri for everything. The iPhone 4S has made waves since it was released only a few weeks ago. With the phones from Apple becoming increasingly more sophisticated and better than the previous, it leaves iPhone owners to wonder what the next big changes to the phone will be and, ultimately, if will continue to convert BlackBerry users across the country.

Set in the northern region of Tamriel is an area of untold power and possibility. “Skyrim,” the latest implementation of Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls series, immerses players in beautiful and dynamic gameplay. With virtually limitless opportunities and randomly generated tasks, this role-playing game is touted as nearly endless. Players can chose where their journey will take them. There is no set path that needs to be taken; rather, the player can move freely throughout the world, taking up jobs and tasks from the local populace. This element of the game is deepened through random events that range from helping thieves to fending off dragon attacks. In addition to the ever-changing, non-linear gameplay, the world and sounds of the game are a work of art in and of themselves. “Skyrim” is a huge and highly detailed area encompassing a plethora of plant life, ore deposits, creatures and cities, inviting player interaction. On top of all this lies a picturesque sky that can be anything from an unrelenting torrential snowstorm to a surreal night’s sky ablaze with the heaven’s auroras. The wonderful visual aspects of the game are complemented by the beautiful sounds and music of the world. The ever-changing soundtrack sets the atmosphere, going hand-in-hand with the current task. Having the option to do most anything and go nearly everywhere in the world gives a level of depth in the gameplay that is unlike most other games. This aspect of the game, coupled with a colossal and beautifully dynamic world full of opportunity and potential, sets “Skyrim” apart from most role-playing games.
Andrew Rossi managed to get unprecedented access to the New York Times newsroom for his documentary “Page One: Inside the New York Times.” The movie looks at the shift from print to digital media. Journalists discuss their views on the shift, from the growing threat of physical papers dying out to the global demand for specific content. The movie covered several topics that were interesting and relevant to journalism, including WikiLeaks and the launch of the iPad. Unfortunately, most of these segments were incredibly short, making them barely worthwhile. It was entertaining watching journalists, like David Carr, adamantly defend both their profession and their paper, but it’s hard to ignore the other side of the argument, which the movie seems to shun. Media covering media usually tends to produce interesting results, and “Page One” is no exception. There are plenty of tense moments at media conventions where the new media calls out the old and the old media calls out the new, and the documentary does a decent job of capturing that tension. If you have any interest in journalism or the changing methods of transmitting information, definitely check out the media. Unfortunately, despite some other reviews, I don’t think this documentary will be terribly relevant in a few years. The media will continue to change and this will be outdated sooner or later. The message is still potent, though: Be adaptive. Everything changes. Even the New York Times.
Wearing what you love without making mistakes Self-confidence is sexy every fashion season Alicia Zuberbier Editorial Staff We’ve all seen those shows, like “What Not to Wear” and “Fashion Police,” which explicitly state what you can and cannot leave the house wearing. Fashion can be a tricky business when it comes to what is hot and what is not. With so many rules, it’s difficult to decide what to put on in the morning.
I have a few ideas about what to avoid wearing. For example, leggings as pants. Leggings are not pants; they are thick tights you wear under a dress. Just because your tee shirt covers half of your butt does not mean it is a dress. Leggings leave nothing to the imagination, and there is something to be said about mystery.
Likewise, do not wear heels that are too tall. How tall is too tall? If you walk like a wounded horse, the heels are too tall. Just because your friend can waltz around in six inch stilettos does not mean you can. Heels should be comfortable, and your walk should look natural. If not, leave them at the store.
At the end of the day, though, wear what you like. Never let anyone stop you from wearing what you love. This is the biggest fashion no-no. If you like a look, wear it! Fashion is about expressing who you are. Keep in mind that the way you dress says something about your personality. If you love a miniskirt that your mom
mistook for a belt, wear it, but keep in mind what people will think. Fashion, whether you like it or not, is based on perception. Self-confidence is the sexiest item in your wardrobe. If you love what you wear, you’ll be happy, and people will notice. A smile is always gorgeous, and no TV show will ever tell you otherwise.

Have you ever considered perusing the rich history of the oldest college institution in Wisconsin? Students who choose to explore the Carroll University Archives and Special Collections Use will find mounds of old photos, books and minutes from Trustees’ meetings housed in the two rooms located on the second floor of the Todd Weir Memorial Library. Ms. Kleczka, the business and archives manager, leads visitors through two rooms. One houses mainly photos and minutes from meetings past and the other holds old yearbooks, catalogs, and books. She is also responsible for processing and keeping collections up to date, as well as responding to the research requests of faculty, students and locals. She accepts donations also, given that they align with the mission of the Carroll University Archives.' Photos are alphabhetized by collection, and are perhaps the most enthralling feature of the archives. Years of campus and dorm life, proms, clubs, sororities, fraterneties, buildings, sports teams, and more await. Carroll students, faculty, alumni, and community members are welcome to use or enjoy the archives at anytime. Appointments can be made with Ms. Kleczka during the regular business hours.

Blind dates & Beanies: Pioneers Donna and Irl Ihrcke share their story Waukesha couple reminisces about their times at Carroll College Leigh Emmett & Ashley Joers Editorial Staff
Being the oldest college in the state, Carroll University definitely has some interesting history. In 1841, Carroll’s predecessor, Prairieville Academy, was founded and a short five years later, the small school became officially known as Carroll College. Over the years, Wisconsin’s pioneer college has a variety of notable alumni ranging from the inventor of SpaghettiO’s, numerous NFL players, the pastor of Wisconsin’s largest church and politicians. Among these many Pioneer alums are Irl and Donna Ihrke of Waukesha. Graduates of classes ’54 and ’57, Donna and Irl met on a blind date set up by their fraternity/sorority. Donna, a lifelong member Alpha Xi Delta sorority pointed out “when we were there, sororities and fraternities were a big thing…everything was [centered] around them.” Irl agreed, saying that Greek life took up the majority of the homecoming parade floats. During the time that Irl and Donna attended Carroll, there were three sororities: Alpha Xi Delta, Alpha Gamma Delta and Chi Omega and four fraternities: the Tekes- Tau Kappa Epsilon, Sigma Epsilon, Beta Phi Epsilon and Phi Theta. All members of Greek life competed against each other in the all-school sing. In the 1950’s, Carroll’s enrollment topped off at around 500 students. “We did have commuters, but most people were on campus,” said Irl. Not many students traveled far outside of Waukesha’s borders, unless they were lucky enough to own a car. As far as tuition goes, Donna figured they paid “$500.00[a semester] for room and board and $500.00[a semester] for tuition”. According to dollartimes.com, $1.00 in 1950 had the same buying power as $9.29 does today. So that $1000.00 per semester would be about $9300.00 today. “[I lived in] Voorhees Dorm and my first year Morgan Manor was a residence hall,” noted Donna. Morgan Manor is now known MacAllister Hall. Irl resided in the all male dorms “that was ripped down my second year”. He then had to move off campus, to the YMCA. In these days, men were not allowed past the first floor lounge of the women’s dorms. However, there were exceptions to this rule. On certain days, the guys could go all the way up to the girl’s doorways. Another rule that has gone by the wayside is the daily curfew. If you were not back in your room by a certain time, you would be “campused” meaning that you were not allowed to participate in social events for a predetermined amount of time. “She got campused for a week. We got lost on the way back from Milwaukee and we were 15 minutes late,” recalled Irl.

The dorms of years past were nothing compared to Carroll’s current options. “There weren’t any refrigerators but the snow would blow through the window so we just stashed [food] on the windows,” explained Irl with a laugh. Another fact that would render today’s students horrified, was the lack of washers and dryers on campus. “Once a week I would send my clothes to my mother in this big heavy mail case. It looked like a metal suitcase,” Donna explains. “You got your sheets and linens every two weeks or so but that was part of dorm living”. When asked why we chose to attend Carroll, most of modern students respond with “they gave me good scholarships” or “because they have the program I want.” About fifty years ago, it was a different story. “I knew from friends of my family, that is why I wanted to go to Carroll,” remarked Donna. “There was this hominess and you didn’t feel so lost coming into thousands of people. “
Historically, Carroll is a Presbyterian institution and required its students to attend chapel every week, allowing only two misses. “We had a lot of discussion…about religion, because it was mostly protestant…So Catholic people coming in, people of other faith, created a lot of discussions,” remarked Donna. According to Irl, there was definitely a football and track team during the 1950’s. Carroll’s biggest rival of that era was now-Midwest Conference member, Beloit College. There were no women’s sports at this time, just cheerleading. Looking back “it was much closer and much more personal compared to now, you know,” mentioned Donna. “[Even] if you went downtown you would always know someone working or walking down there,” noted Irl. They agree that Carroll just doesn’t have the same feel as it did in their time. “Do the freshmen still wear beanies?” asked Donna “We had to wear orange beanies when we came in as freshmen”.

Soccer seasons end in NCAA tournaments Women fall to St. Benedict in a penalty shootout Josh DeGrasse-Baumann Editorial Staff The Carroll University women’s soccer team ended the 2011 season with a loss the College of St. Benedict. Despite being out-shot 162, the Pioneers kept their season alive before falling in a penalty shootout. Kate Maxwell, starting for the injured Taylor Mclean, re-
corded six saves over 110 minutes, ultimately forcing the shootout. Both teams scored their first three shots, but the Pioneers were unable to convert their fourth. The Blazers of St. Benedict were perfect in with all five of their shots and advanced to the next round. Carroll finishes their season 11-8-1 overall (7-1-1 MWC).
Pioneers score on nationally ranked St. Olaf, lose 3-1 Josh DeGrasse-Baumann Editorial Staff After hosting and winning the Midwest Conference tournament, the Pioneer soccer team took on. #7 St. Olaf College in the first round of the NCAA Division III tournament. Fifteen minutes in to the game, St. Olaf scored their first of three goals. By the end of the first half, the game was essentially over with Carroll trailing 3-0.
Adam Bruk scored a goal in the 62nd minute off a penalty to break the shutout, but the goal would end the games scoring for both sides. Netminder Tomek Miaskowski recorded five saves during his 90 minutes in the net, but St. Olaf ’s Harry Ulmann only needed to record three saves to get his team the win. The Pioneers finished the 2011 season 11-8-1 overall, with an 8-1 record in conference play. Tim Antoniewicz keeps the ball away from a Lake Forest College attacker. Photos by Leigh Emmett
Basketball teams focus on leadership, youth for 2011-2012 season Ashley Joers
Editorial Staff The men’s and women’s basketball teams are working hard to have a great season this year. Carroll University’s women’s team starts off the season going up against UW-Whitewater on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at Whitewater followed by Cornell College Nov. 19.
While preparing for their season Nicolette Rini, a junior on the team is becoming increasingly excited. “The team is looking great! We have a lot of new girls on the team so it’s a refreshing mix of returners and first years,” Rini said. With the seventeen girls on the team, they have been prac-

ticing and bonding as a team. The freshmen are very talented and they are really pushing us upper classmen to work hard and continue to stay focused Rini said. Having strong leaders within the team is another aspect that both men’s and women’s basketball teams possess going in to the season.
C.U. Financial Snapshot 1911 vs. 2011
Who knew that while Carroll grew 100 years older, that the 1910-1911 tuition expenses would jump from a mere $50 per year to $23,582 per semester during the 2010-2011 school year? Not only do costs and options differ extremely across a century, but also the mindset and culture. For instance, Voorhees was a women’s dormitory at the time.
With only two seniors and multiple juniors on the men’s basketball team, the team is looking up to them to see what the culture of the team is. The leadership on the women’s team is great. The three seniors this year that have played for all four years so it’s great to know they’re leading the team states Rini.
The men’s team is looking forward to starting off to a great start against Marian College on Friday, Nov. 18 at Carroll University at 8 p.m. for the now annual Johnson Bank Tipoff torunament. The final games of the tournament will be Nov. 19. Carroll is looking forward to a great season from both basketball teams.

Editorial Staff Andrew Multerer for Carroll University’s swim teams. He received his undergraduate degree at the University of Wisconsin - La Crosse and furthered his education receiving his MBA at Concordia University. His transition to being the new head coach has been “very interesting.” “We have great leadership with the senior class and a great culture is developing,” he said. The team has doubled in size this year and the senior class has been very helpful to Multerer, leading by example in the water. The Midwest Conference meet is the most looked forward to meet this season for the team. The swim team does not see many of the colleges in our conference before then and we are hoping to move up a cou-
ple of spots this year, Multerer said. The goals for this season are to move up a couple of places and to really be a challenge for the other teams. Another goal is to have a healthy squad and work on injury prevention. There is a great deal of leadership and great attitude within the team that is a huge strength, said Multerer. The middle depth is strong within the team and they have very strong good relays this season. There is a strong level of desire for competition among the athletes which is huge exclaims Multerer. “I believe that Division III student athletes are the best athletes in the country, they want to be here, they don’t get paid, they have some of the toughest schedules, probably sleep deprived, and also want to be in the pool. That is awesome.”

Editorial Staff There is room for improvement within Carroll University’s swim team after their meet against University of Wisconsin - La Crosse on Nov. 12. The combined team score for men and women were UWLa Crosse 268 and Carroll University 138. Women’s 400-yard medley relay did well placing first with a time of 4:25.37 followed by UW-La Crosse with a time of 4:33.56. Danielle Grzywa, Jordan Barclay, Emily Mansfield and Kristy Johnson put in hard work to finish with the top time did the relay wonderfully. Kristy Johnson also placed first in the Women’s 50-yard Freestyle with a final time of 26.74. Another outstanding
Carroll teammate was Alex Schneider placing first in the Men’s 200-yard IM with a final time of 2:10.31. There were many others on the Carroll Swim team who placed first in their event and others who were at the cusp of grabbing that first place in there event but fell short. The team is excited to have another chance to compete against UW-Lacrosse on Nov. 19 in La Crosse, Wis.

Editorial Staff Just under 66,000 fans attended Midwest Conference football games in 2011. 11,000 of those fans were at Carroll University home games. The Pioneers were consistently greeted with the largest crowds in the Midwest Conference. Monmouth College was the next highest school, averaging just under 2,000 people per game, just shy of Carroll. The staggering difference is offset, however, with several schools that were severely under attended in football. Grinnell College, for example, had a season total that was surprisingly close to Carroll’s per game average, coming in at just under 2,200 fans.
The conference average, per game, was about 1,400. The weekly average for all games in the conference came in at about 6,600 fans per game. For its five home games, Carroll averaged nearly a third of the attendance of all games in a given week. Carroll does have the second lowest average travel distances to other schools in the conference, making it easier for fans from other schools to attend games. On average, Carroll travels 174 miles to get to other schools. Beloit College has the lowest average travel with 165 miles. The Pioneers capped off a 7-3 season (6-1 MWC) with a 31-31 win against Grinnell. They finished fourth in the Midwest Conference.
