Du take a stand against domestic violence Students and staff join forces ahead of Domestic Violence Action Week

by Anna Petersen News Editor and Graphic Designer

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, presenting another opportunity for people to stand together in calling for awareness and change.

This month includes countless campaigns and projects by groups such as The National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV). As found on their website, NNEDV is participating in the campaign “Beyond the Buzzwords.”

Starting Monday, Oct. 1, each day will focus on a word related to domestic violence and go further into its meaning to understand what these words mean to our society, including those who have experienced domestic violence.

This campaign can be found at https:// nnedv.org/latest_update/going-beyond-buzzwords-domestic-violence-awareness-month.

Besides these overarching campaigns and projects, Peace and Justice, Residence Life and the Gender and Society class encourage you to get involved, especially on campus.

Traditionally, women ages 18-24 who are college students are three times more likely to experience sexual violence than women in general, according

to the U.S. Dept. of Justice).

While all of October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, while Oct.14 through Oct. 20 is National Week of Action, and that is exactly what these groups plan to do. Each day of the week, these groups will be collaborating to act against domestic violence and for awareness. The groups encourage students to participate with faculty and their peers next week.

FOCUS: Missionaries spread the joy of Christ ‘‘

by ALEX RHOMBERG Staff Writer

It’s time to FOCUS yourself ! No, not focus as in centering your attention, FO CUS — Fellowship of C atholic University Students — here on campus.

Over the past few years, FOCUS has made a growing impact at Loras, and is looking forward to another wonderful and faith-filled year.

Hunter Beggs, a third-year missionary, explains FOCUS as “It’s essentially an apostolate to minister to college students to set a trajectory for the rest of their lives. We meet students where they are to bring them deeper in to faith with Christ, and to find their calling. We ultimately want to fulfill God’s great command of making disciples of all nations.” While for many, the idea of being approached by a missionary might seem scary, FOCUS is here to change that perception.

FO CUS and its four missionaries are here to serve the students and the community. Hunter says, “On a life aspect, we are offering real friendships, authentic and virtuous ones. This is done by creating an encounter with Christ, and by striving to be with him as a way to facilitate an authentic friendship.” Hunter and the other missionaries offer many different ways to get involved and create this authentic

friendships through interactions with God. “In the past couple of years, we have offered ourselves to the students through the joy of our team and the joy of Christ in us. Making invitations to students to prayer and sacraments, not for the sake of numbers but to encounter souls and introduce souls to the father who loves them and wants them to come home” says Hunter. FOCUS also prides themselves in making invitations that are meaningful and with great intentionality.

This year, FOCUS plans to offer bible studies, one on one mentorship, mission trips, student leadership summit, retreats, games, gatherings, discussion, holy power hour, prayer team, and more! Hunter says, “This year having two new teammates, bringing more life and energy to the

Sunday is #SelflessSunday and we encourage you to donate! There will be donation boxes in the residence halls, ARC and ACC, all week and all monetary donations will be given to the Riverview Center here in Dubuque. Riverview Center is a non-profit agency that is a resource for those affected by sexual violence in Iowa and Illinois. You can also donate items as we are collecting items on the wish list for Opening Doors which provides resources specifically for women. The most important part of this week is raising awareness about domestic violence and providing resources in order to help those affected, which is why we are focusing on the resources within the Dubuque community. Also on Sunday we are working with residence life to show a film at 7 p.m. in the Hoffmann Theater with discussion to follow.

For My Voice Monday we encourage you to start a conversation about how to bring awareness to domestic violence, how we can support survivors and how we can prevent domestic violence in the future. Changing the narrative can be a useful way to draw attention to the issue, support survivors and prevent future violence.

(For ideas on how to change the narrative surrounding domestic violence, check out https://www.pinterest. com/nnedv/31-ways-to-challenge-dvmyths-31n31-october-2016/?lp=true).

Since the official color of domestic violence awareness is purple, we will be giving out purple ribbons by the café during lunch for you to wear during the week to show your support.

Tweet #Safety4Survivors for Twitter Chat Tuesday and if you missed our table on Monday, stop by the café during lunchtime and grab a ribbon to show your support. We will also be getting a head start on Wednesday’s theme by offering a chance to sign a petition to send to your representatives in favor of protecting our communities against domestic violence.

On #WokeWednesday we encour-

age you to advocate! This week is all about taking action, so use this day as an extra chance to be active in the fight against domestic violence. If you missed the petition signing on Tuesday, stop by the cafe on Wednesday during lunchtime to add your name and help us show our representatives what is important to us. #PurpleThursday should be easy for all duhawks, wear purple to show your support for survivors and for ending domestic violence. Don’t forget your ribbons from earlier in the week! At 6 p.m., join us in the Walhert library for a panel for survivors to share their stories to help us understand how domestic violence can affect survivors, how others can get through it, and their ideas on how to prevent it in the future.

The panel will be followed by a candle vigil outside of Walhert at 7:30 p.m.

For Fame Friday we work to change the narrative surrounding domestic violence as it is portrayed in the media and all forms of pop culture. Speak out on how to change these narratives to support survivors and prevention.

On #TechSafety Saturday we focus on how to use technology in ways that work as a precautionary measure to keep you protected from domestic violence. The help desk will email campus to lay out the best ways to be safe on the internet, especially social media, and how to keep your location offline. We will also be providing handouts around campus that give information and tips on tech safety.

Take advantage of the effort of students to include all those on campus in the fight against domestic violence.

Domestic violence comes in many forms and affects every gender, race, religion, and class. Change always begins small, starting with the individual, spreading to groups, communities, regions, nations and eventually, worldwide. The purpose of the week of action and the awareness month in general is to raise awareness, support survivors and to come together to end domestic violence.

Family Duhawkapella group Weekend: kicks off the festivities

by Anna Hedges Staff Writer

Last Friday was the opening night of Family Weekend activities.

Duhawkappella enthusiastically opened for Six Appeal with three songs they have been working on so far this year.

The president of Duhawkappella, Logan Schroeder, remarked, “We all loved having the opportunity to sing for Six Appeal. It was our first time in front of an audience this semester, and I am so proud of everyone in the group.

“It is really nice to see our hard work

pay off,” he continued. “I think they’ve really inspired us to work even harder to make our next concert the best it can be.”

This is Schroeder’s third year.

“I loved listening to (the group) perform during my first year at Loras. I knew I wanted to be a part of the group, so I auditioned as soon as I could during the beginning of my sophomore year.”

Duhawkappella practices twice per week.

“We started learning some new songs as soon as we got to school this fall, and we were very happy to debut one of them at

the show,” Schroeder stated.

The other two songs performed on Friday were two of the group’s favorites from last year. “(Duhawkappella) has such a diverse, energetic group of people — it makes my job so easy when everyone wants to come to rehearsal and put in the effort to sound our best.”

If you are interested in joining Duhawkappella, there will be auditions again for the spring semester.

Be looking for an email towards the end of January or beginning of February with

more specific details of dates and times.

Schroeder said the next scheduled concert for th group is 7:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 30, in the ballrooms.

Six Appeal Vocal Band, an a cappella group that began in Moorhead, Minn., as a collegiate hobby. The group has won multiple championships and received national media attention, including at the 2012 National Harmony Sweepstakes Championship, Moscow Spring A Capella International Grand Prize Championship, as well as a performance at 2018 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

Fire? What Fire?

by Lou Stein

I

staff writer

t’s strange to think only the seniors, faculty, and staff will remember the Visitation Fire as it occurred in the spring of 2016. Reflecting on this event has reminded me of one of the most important yet tedious parts of dormitory living: Fire Drills. No one needs to be reminded why fire drills are important; unless you were homeschooled, you’ve been evacuating to the nearest designated exit and waiting outside until a fire marshal gives the ‘go-ahead’ for over 12 years.

But even though most of us are pros at this safety standard, it amazes me how many people think of their fire drill experience as a chore. It’s time to realize that what many people take to be a boring and disruptive task, can actually be an enjoyable time in the right circumstances. So this week, I’m giving you my cherished advice on how to get the most out of your next fire drill. #1. Stop going unprepared. We’ve all had that fear, that the fire alarm will go off while we are in the middle of showering. Maybe we know someone who has been caught with wet hair and bathrobe in front of the entirety of Beckman hall. Avoid this and any other fire-fashion-faux-pas, by always having a bag ready to go in case of emergency. It’s always good to have an

emergency bag with you anyway, but make sure you have one specifically for fires. Include spare shoes and a change in clothes, a phone charger, cash, a flotation device, the keys to your uncles RV, three bottles of sparkling water, that can of soup your mom gave you, and a fire extinguisher (for obvious reasons). Keep this bag with you whenever you get to your dorm hall. Going to the bathroom? Bring your bag. Heading downstairs for a quick laundry run? Bring your bag.

This way you will never be caught unprepared for the inevitable fire drill. #2. Drop everything school related. Yes, I know you were in the middle of writing that 6-page response due at midnight.

Yes, I know that the fire alarm totally ruined your concentration. Instead of fighting it, take this mandatory exit as a sign from God: that you deserve a break, outside, and with some fresh air. Taking the time to not worry about school will be great for your stress level. I recommend that you use your brief moment of mental clarity to sit down and meditate, right there in the parking lot is fine.

Light some candles or burn incense to really help get you in the mindset.

Close your eyes and really focus on the moment. When you’re done leave

the candles burning on the ground for someone else to use later. Just because this may or may not be a real fire emergency does not give you an excuse to be a jerk to people. It’s called sharing. Try it sometime. #3. Roll with the circumstance. So now that you’ve followed the first two steps and are both fully prepared and stress-free, you’re ready to have some fun with this fire drill. First, have some pizza delivered. You’re outside anyway, and the fire trucks will have cleared some traffic so you’ll get it in a fraction of the time you normally would.

Second, take advantage of the captive audience that is all of your classmates huddled outside and in one place. This is your chance to say to them what you never had time for during an “Open Mike Night.” Recite your long-form poetry, or start signing your new mixtape. This is a golden opportunity to really express yourself artistically and get some constructive criticism from your peers. If you don’t have their attention, feel free to climb up on a car and shout your message over the hum of chatter. Your peers will be glad that you did because you are giving them some artistic culture.

Following these steps will make sure you are getting the most out of your fire drill experience. This may seem like a lot to take in, but fear not.

So that you will remember them, they can be shortened down to my entirely original and patent-pending memory mnemonic: Stop, Drop, and Roll.

How does a superhero actually become ‘super’?

The top 5 reasons why Green Arrow is the best of them all by josh vogt staff writer

1. He’s A Family Man:

Green Arrow cares about one thing above all else, and that is those closest to him: his family (of which almost none are related). He adopts a young boy named Roy Harper, a troubled youth who, depending on the continuity, he finds trying to steal to get by. He takes him under his wing and raises him, training him to fight crime just like him. Much later on, he rescues a girl by the name of Mia Dearden from a life of prostitution and drug use, taking her in and giving her a home, a school, and a job to help her get back on her feet. The above-listed family and more are so important to him, that he has and will die for them regardless of how they feel about him at the time, giving everything up so that they might be happy, or at least, alive.

2. He’s Ruled By Emotions:

Unlike Batman, who is calm and collected, or Superman, who often acts like a pristine, polished medal of what humanity strives to be, Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow, is a man of passion and love. He does what he believes is right, and is extremely vocal about what he thinks is wrong, the only true social justice warrior that I think I’ve ever seen that hasn’t made me cringe to read the acronym “SJW”. He is a force of nature when you get him mad, and an absolute romantic fool when he really cares about someone. He shows his full range of emotions right at surface level, rather than hiding behind his mask.

3. He’s More Grounded Than Most Superheros

Now, I don’t mean that he can’t fly, which he can’t, but that he cares about every single citizen living in his city. He truly, often aggressively, fights for the little guys, not against some

monstrous alien invasion, or mutated crocodile, but against injustice on the streets at the very bottom levels of society.

He has no powers, and before he was marooned on an island and forced to learn to hunt with a bow and arrow to survive, he had nothing he was particularly skilled in. He wasn’t an artist with a bow, he just practiced and trained really hard to get where he is, and I think that’s far more relatable and admirable than the heroes who are all prodigies in their field.

4. He’s Not Serious Or Edgy

Now, I’m talking from a source material perspective here, not the interpretation in the television series, Arrow. He constantly cracks jokes, usually during tense confrontations, and is always messing around while others are trying to be serious. He loves to make dad jokes all the time, and has created ridiculous trick arrows in the past to throw people off, such as the boxing glove arrow, which he continually roasts himself for creating. His wise-cracks might get on his family and friends’ nerves, but that doesn’t slow him down at all.

5. He Hangs Out With Other Superheros On Sundays And Makes Chili He is so famous for making chili, that in one comic, they provide a recipe at the end for readers to try and make at home. He often has chili on Sundays with his family, inviting over his best friend, practically brother, Hal Jordan, or Green Lantern. The friendship that the two of them share is among the strongest in all of comics, at least as far as I have read, and it just makes him feel even more like an average guy. This allows the reader to relate so much stronger to him as a person, not just some paragon of virtue and justice.

If you enjoyed these opinions and would want to consider reading Green Arrow, look up Green Arrow: Quiver, and start there. If you’re mad like me, start way back at the beginning with Jack Kirby’s run. Thanks for reading and try not to fail this city.

Introverts can be leaders, too

by Brianna kramer

T

staff writer

here seems to be a common misconception in society that, in order for someone to be considered a good leader, they must be the loudest person in the room.

Think about the heroes you see in movies, or the main characters from your favorite television shows; many of these characters are portrayed as confident, well-spoken, individuals who are able to accomplish their goals through their charisma and assertive leadership abilities. In other words, the media often shows us that only those with extroverted personalities make good leaders, whereas introverted personalities are given the role of the sidekick.

In case you are unfamiliar with the terms “introvert” and “extrovert”, I will explain what each of these mean. Introverted individuals tend to be more focused on their own mental state of being, but this doesn’t mean they are selfish. Rather, introverts prefer alone time in order to reflect and think deeply about life; they are characterized as self-conscious, deliberate, and quiet (“A Definitive Comparison…”).

On the other hand, extroverts are more invested in what other people think and what is happening around them; they gain energy through socializing and interacting with others. Extroverts are often described as talkative, assertive, and enthusiastic (“A Definitive Comparison…”). There are very few people that identify exclusively as an extrovert or an introvert, since the majority of people possess traits from each end of the spectrum.

However, one trait is usually more dominant than the other. This brings me back to the point that introverts are often portrayed as less important than their extroverted counterparts in the media.

Everybody loves the leader who can command an entire army to defeat the enemy, or who always has a witty response on the tip of their tongue. But what about the careful planning that takes place behind the scenes to come up with a strategy?

Introverts have many traits that allow them to become excellent leaders, as well.

Because of their ability to focus for long periods of time, they are able to be more efficient when working on projects and discover creative solutions (Kennedy).

Another advantage that introverted leaders have is that they are great listeners; the ability to listen to employees makes a company more productive, and the ability to listen to customers can make a company more profitable (Kennedy).

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, introverts do not expect praise for their leadership; instead, they are focused on achieving a specific goal, which allows them to empower and develop their teams in a way that extroverts are not able to (Kennedy). It is clear that both introverts and extroverts have different styles of leadership, and I am not implying that one is better than the other.

I simply believe that introverts are underutilized as leaders, and they should be just as empowered as extroverts to become leaders.

Does art influence society’s ‘ways of being’?

by Valerie Herbst

A

staff writer

rt opens our eyes to further creations of ideas, inventions, theories, stories and sanity. As humans, we need art and creative minds to build a curiousness for the intricate beauty the world has to offer.

Art helps us communicate our ideas into something that the English language cannot do. Having art on a transcript can benefit anyone who is looking towards a future in the communications field or any field. The number one quality employers are looking for nowadays is good communication skills.

According to Pew Researchers, there is more than a 15% increase for social and analytical skills now than there was in the 1980s.

In Pew’s view, employers look for people who can effectively communicate their creative plans and ideas verbally and non verbally.

As this world becomes more digital and less engaged, having skills in art should be a must. Art applies to the aspiring biologists, chemists, and engineers as well. Rather than showing their findings or experiments through spreadsheets and slideshows, incorporating art to their findings makes their ideas more prominent. Organizing and manipulating their findings in an artistic way will help them effectively communicate their solutions to benefit society’s way of being.

“Giving people access to data makes society feel overwhelmed and not empowered.” (Eliasson 2016).

Viewing data, spreadsheets and graphs leaves a big disconnection to get up and do something about the data presented.

However, art can make a difference in all of this by not showing what people should do, but instead sparking the need to do something. Connecting with a good piece of art opens up our senses and feelings to a world that is undivided. Therefore, these feelings may spur into a chain of thinking, engagement and action.

It’s one thing to understand something with our minds, but we should understand this world through our hearts as well.

The data presented to us today can have a numbing and soul-destroying effect.

Everywhere I look, I am confronted with statistics of poverty, smoking, mental illness, human trafficking, guns, and drugs. All are very negative things that turn my thinking into: “What is America coming to?!”

We clearly have the facts and the data to show how drastic such problems are, but do the facts give us the motivation to do something? When I say “to do something” I don’t mean to go out and find more negative insight to present, but instead work towards solutions. Answers to these problems are nowhere near easy and may take a lot of time to figure out. Nevertheless, I believe that there are solutions if we start to turn our thinking into doing. This can be challenging with all of the distraught information being thrown around, but art can change this. Art can wipe away the numbing feeling that stresses of society have on us, and motivate us into creating a change.

Furthermore, remember the illuminating sense art gives this world, because I think art gives solutions for many problems.

Exploring media bias

by Darby Callahan

T

staff writer

o continue my series on media bias, I will be discussing the Right to Try Act that I mentioned last week. What is the Right to Try Act? It is the law that states that if a patient is terminally ill, they can request drugs that could save their lives. If it is last resort, he or she can request a drug that has not been tested and approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

The Right to Try Act was signed by President Trump, and he expects it to save thousands of patients from death.

“Today I am proud to keep another promise to the American people as I sign the Right to Try legislation into law,” Trump said in May when he signed the Right to Try Act of 2017 into law this year.

“We’re going to be saving tremendous numbers of lives” (Fox News). “But Democrats have been critical of the legislation, saying it would “peddle false hope” and place patients at risk,” as stated in the article by CNN. I personally feel this is a great law, and I am grateful that President Trump signed this bill into law. I feel

that many Americans will benefit from this legislation and that it shouldn’t be a partisan issue. I feel this could have been an issue that CNN and Fox News could agree on, but after reading each article, I find that, though there are similar statements in each article, CNN shortens it as if the issue is of less importance. I feel the shorter article is just liberal CNN’s way of saying that there is little benefit and because it is the conservative agenda, Democrats should not support it. The “Right to Try Act” is monumental in this country, and 40 states have already passed their own state “Right to Try Acts.” I am very glad and support that our nation has finally adopted it as a federal law. I believe, as Trump suggests, that it will save thousands of lives or at least help them live longer. My next media bias series article will be on the immigration issue. Because immigration is so highly debated right now, I will just say how both news outlets report it and what I think should be done to come to an equal agreement. I feel that Democrats and Republicans can work together on all issues, and immigration is where they should start and adopt a plan of action.

The executive branch’s abuse of military power

This rage was far from unjustified and well within the confines of patriotic outrage that united us regardless of party, race, or class. We waged bloody war against an enemy that attacked us without warning and killed 3,000 of our citizens, and this writer will not argue that we were not right to do so, but as the years have trudged on and as the body count still rises, it is time to ask ourselves: where does it end? When we invaded Afghanistan in 2001, we did so under the legal and moral premise of selfdefense, reacting to an attack by a terrorist threat that spilled American blood on American soil.

In his address announcing the authorization of strikes in Afghanistan, then-President George W. Bush justified the coming war by stating: “I gave Taliban leaders a series of clear and specific demands: Close terrorist training camps; hand over leaders of the Al Qaeda network; and return all foreign nationals, including American citizens, unjustly detained in your country.

Our government is attempting to fight and curtail the authority of a sovereign state in violation of the U.N. charter, a charter that was signed and ratified by the United States Senate on July 28, 1945.

Thus, it was secured as legally binding under Article six of the constitution which states: “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land.”

It is self-evident by the language of our constitution and our own agreements that we have no authority to continue a war that should have ended through the avenging of our citizens with the death of Osama Bin Laden seven years ago. Congress should, and must end these unlawful conflicts and take back its rightful authority regarding war. I am in no way blaming the men and women who put their lives on the line day in and day out giving everything for the nation. Rather, I intend to call out those desk-warriors who sit behind their positions and call for sending other people to fight for them with no constitutional legitimacy and no consequences to their person. It is high time we remember who holds the power over war, and end this bloodshed while we still have the power to do so.

11 things to do

in the fall in Dubuque

by Madison holerud and rose gottschalk staff writers

It is finally fall and many are getting ready for winter or mourning over the end of summer.

However, this is a time to really embrace autumn, but how would we do so? Below is a list of eleven ways that you can get into the season and all of them can be done in Dubuque.

Dark Chambers. This is not for the weak of heart. However, anyone searching for some thrills during this fall season is welcome to visit this well-known haunted attraction! It is open every weekend starting Friday, Oct. 5.

Apple Orchard/ Pumpkin Patch. Both of these bring an enjoyable time for all involved.

Simply being outside in the crisp weather will help get anyone into the fall spirit.

Hike Through the Mines of Spain.

Although this is open allyear round, the Mines of Spain never lacks in breathtaking scenery. Enjoy the view as well as the cool weather!

Corn Mazes. Some enjoyable fun this fall season can easily be found in these labyrinths. This may be a bit more time consuming, but still full of fun nonetheless.

Baking. ‘Tis the season for baking pies and your favorite warm desserts. Warm yourself up with gooey cookies or cinnamon apple turnovers.

Sight-Seeing. A simple drive around Dubuque is never a bad idea. During the fall months, falling

leaves and Halloween decorations never fail to ignite a love for the season in all who get to enjoy them.

Farmers Market. Located Downtown every Saturday morning, this is a perfect place to interact with people while also shopping for fresh fruit and veggies that are in season.

Going for Walks. The chill that comes with the season brings a perfect opportunity to get some fresh air while it is still enjoyable.

A personal favorite of mine is visiting the Riverwalk and seeing the Mississippi before it freezes in the winter.

Pumpkin Carving.

It’s the season for making anything and everything spooky, why not do it in an artistic way? Pumpkin carving is one of the best ways to get into the fall spirit, and you can roast the seeds from your masterpiece for another seasonal snack!

Enjoy a Bonfire. Nothing pairs better than warming up next to a fire and spending time with friends. Roast some marshmallows, assemble your s’mores, and enjoy some laughs with the people you’re closest with.

Spend a Night Indoors. Although this is quite different than the other items on this list, this is what most people may prefer during the fall months. Wrap up in a warm blanket, grab your favorite snack, and binge some scary Halloween movies!

Dishing it out:

Movie Review

‘Zombieland’: A Wild Ride

This was the thing that caught me off guard the most about it. Here was this goofy, ridiculous zombie movie where one character’s goal is to eat some Twinkies before they go bad, and it hits you at some parts with a real dose of genuine emotion that you never would have expected.

Overall, the movie has great characters, a wacky enough plot that the entertainment value stops you from worrying about, and just enough levity that you can connect and empathize with the characters when it matters. I can definitely recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a good comedy and can handle the gore of, say, the Walking Dead.

The Many Adventures of Winnie & Jesse ­— Part 1 The first excerpt in a series of 3 short stories

by Sarwan Moghamis staff writer

Winnie and Jesse were born and raised in London. Jesse was a shoe shiner, one who was paid very little and treated poorly. He is considered a poor undesirable rat, whereas Winnie comes from a rich family that everyone admires. The two were deeply in love. Their families disapproved of their relationship. That disapproval forced them to run away together, far from London.

They snuck on a ship, sailing all the way to Algeria, Africa. They got off the ship to start their new life together. They spot a poor elderly man selling old, used books to afford a meal. Winnie couldn’t resist the sad look on the elderly man’s face. She gave two gold coins to the elderly man, one of which she stole from her father’s office.

The elderly man gives a smile, with five of his teeth remaining. He hands Winnie the book.

The book was titled “Stories.” Winnie and Jesse are unimpressed with the title, but filled with joy for helping the elderly man.

As night time dawned upon them, the moon rising and the stars shining, Winnie and Jesse rent out a small cabin. The cabin was made of wood, with one room, no windows, and a broken back door. As they try closing their eyes and drift away in slumber, they hear thunder.

A storm is formed, consisting of harsh rain, loud thunder, and lightning. The two instantly jump out of bed in fear. Struggling to go back to sleep, Winnie takes out the book sold to them by the elderly man. Jesse warns her it is too late to read. Winnie ignores his warning and slowly opens to the first page. The pages held a list of story titles. Jesse, a little more interested, turns to the next page. It was blank.

Jesse’s interest fades away, as does Winnie’s.

Before they closed the book, words appear.

The two, in shock and amazement, look into the book again. The words appeared as if it was magic. It reads: “Be Prepared.” Winnie and Jesse exchange looks of confusion. The words slowly float out the book. Winnie drops the book in fear. Jesse grabs her and they back away from the book. The words combine with one another, transforming into rope. It ties around Winnie and Jesse, dragging them inside the book.

Once their whole bodies were inserted into the page, the book closes. Winnie and Jesse find themselves falling from a bright blue sky, softly landing on a red flower with a shining yellow stem, as large as a trampoline. They slide to the ground and land on their feet. They look around with confusion and worry.

First, they spot an elephant speaking to a speck. Then, a man trying to convince a friend to try some green eggs and ham. Lastly, a cat wearing a hat. They look up at the sky and notice the clouds forming the name: Dr. Seuss.

To be continued ...

Instead, they choose to refer to each other as the city they are from, such as Columbus, Tallahassee, and so forth.

It adds an interesting lens to the whole thing and really speaks to the overall theme of the movie: trust. It intrigued me that they all chose to represent themselves with where they come from, and let that speak to who they were as a person. It gave their real names so much power, that should they choose to reveal what their real name was, it really meant something, and that was a pretty cool feeling.

Most surprising of all was how real the movie could get at points.

Oct. 4, 2018

by Antonia rupert

by Josh vogt

“Zombieland” was a completely wacky film right from the getgo and extremely entertaining throughout, never once really losing my interest.

It focuses on a character that goes by Columbus, played by Jesse Eisenberg, who is very careful and has a very long list of rules he follows in order to stay safe during the apocalypse. He is all about staying away from anyone and anything, wandering alone as the movie starts. But, over the course of the film, this changes, and he is forced to learn how to care for and protect people other than himself.

The movie is a fairly gory one, fair warning, and there were points that I regretted choosing to watch while eating pasta, but I powered through for this article. Much of the graphic violence in the film is all about the spectacle of it, as well as the occasional humor of showing interesting ways for the protagonists to take out zombies, which I will not spoil. Most of the gore is fairly simple, not too realistic, and thankfully not so horribly gross so those weak of constitution would be entirely unable to watch it.

Another unique part of the film is that the characters do not refer to each other as their real names.

Colored Pencils

Creative Corner

I went to my room and closed the door against the arguments in the kitchen.

That’s when I found the oak desk Mum had bought me at a garage sale.

In the bottom drawer, there was box of colored pencils.

Eagerly I fumbled with the lid, releasing the pencils to clatter across the desk.

They were all lightly used, except the Burnt Umber, shorter lacerated with chips and chews like the unfinished Babylonian tower.

Beaten and abused. I picked up the other colors and hardly noticed when my elbow nudged it off the edge.

I began to draw. the fireplace where my family gathered, cider mugs warming our hands, longing for snowfall that clouds tantalized us with overhead. the bohemian rug where friends and I giggled in our sleeping bags relaying out deepest secrets.

I was nearly finished except for the couch. Dependable and old, it was familiar.

My eyes darted to the pencil caught in the plastic liner of my waste bin among wrappers and cans.

I retrieved it, its shape, fit impeccably in my hand. Gingerly I sharpened it, twisting slowly, letting the curls fall away.

I drew the last piece, which was hardest for me to do. the cracked and sagging, ancient leather couch, the one I sat on when Mum and Dad told me he was cheating on her where I cried for hours, wondering if it was my fault.

Book Review:

C.S. Lewis’ Space Trilogy by daniel charland staff writer

Chances are, you’ve heard of C.S. Lewis, either as the author of the famous “Chronicles of Narnia” series, or as a prominent Christian theologian. What you may not know, however, is that he also authored a truly unique trilogy of science fiction stories commonly known as the Space Trilogy. The trilogy consists of three books called “Out of the Silent Planet”, “Prerelandra”, and “That Hideous Strength”.

These stories are rather unique as they are practically the only major novels that combine science fiction with Christian theology, and are one of the closest things we have to exploring the Catholic view of the possibility of life on other planets (Lewis himself wasn’t Catholic, but this theology was very Catholic in nature.

His non-conversion was due to cultural reasons, not theological).

In the first book, “Out of the Silent

Planet”, a man named Dr. Ransom is kidnapped by two scientists and taken to another planet with the intention of being used as a human sacrifice.

His adventures and encounters with the beings of this planet set the stage for the other two books. “Prerelandra”

is the second installment, and is a bit more theological in nature; taking Dr. Ransom to another world in its early stages of humanoid existence, an almost Eden-like setting.

Here, Ransom must do his best to prevent a similar fall of the beings on this planet like that of Adam and Eve,

but will he succeed, or is such a fate inevitable to those given free will? The third book, “That Hideous Strength”, is the largest one in the trilogy and longer than the first two combined. T his time, the protagonists are an estranged couple, Mark and Jane Studdock, who become involved in a sinister plot by an institute in league with demonic forces to take over the world.

These forces are Dr. Ransom’s old enemies and are putting their final plan into motion, part of which is the resurrection of the powerful wizard, Merlin (Dr. Ransom is in this story as well, but takes on a more mentor-like roll than that of a protagonist).

Overall, I highly recommend this trilogy to anyone who loves a good science fiction story, a theological commentary, or just an exciting story with a fair amount of surprising twists and excellent world-building. Check it out, you won’t regret it.

Tips with Trish: Making new friends

by Trish borelli Director of the Counseling Center

Dear Trish, I have been thinking about making an appointment in the Counseling Center but not sure that counseling is where I need to be. I have just been feeling really overwhelmed lately. I have the usual anxiety about classes and keeping up with everything but it’s more than that. I think the bigger issue is that I’m kind of lonely. I still wonder if Loras is really the place for me. I know the education is good and the people are really nice but it’s my second year and I haven’t really found a solid group of friends yet. Is this normal? Feels like everyone else is settled in and happy.

Signed, Uncertain and Unhappy

Trish says,

College is definitely an adjustment and that doesn’t mean just the first year. Some students adjust quickly and feel connected from the outset. Sometimes this is because they came to campus early, are a part of a sports team, or are just the outgoing type and search out the relationships. Others

end up going through the motions but not really ever letting go of high school friends and experiences of the past. Some students are just naturally more introverted and are uncomfortable with the social scene or just truly uninterested in all of the activities where friendships are usually made. Let’s be honest, some question whether Loras really has their kind of people………nonathletes, non-spiritual or just culturally different than the majority.

First of all, you are not alone. You are going to have to do some of the work, however. If you found friends in high school, it may have been because you knew many of them your whole life, back when mom was arranging your playdates.

It’s harder here. Everyone is new and you don’t know their background. If you never found a good group of friends in high school, you may need some help with social skills, and that’s okay. Tell your residence life staff you need some guidance, or consider joining a club where there is some structure around meeting people -- that takes the pressure of you

Know the dangers of sleep deprivation

by Audrey miller

A

staff writer

s college students, we know the value of a sleepless night. It means finishing a paper last-minute, studying for a tough exam, or having a little too much fun at one of the many watering holes downtown. But as we’re in the midst of whatever it is we’re doing — class preparation or other — we don’t necessarily take into account the long-term consequences of sleep deprivation that will befall us sooner than we expect.

Of course, we understand the short-term consequences of our choices. We know how tired we’re going to feel that day or two. We know how much our productivity is going to decrease the next day. We know we might even risk sleeping through our alarm, but it’s fine because we got that take-home exam finished and submitted to eLearn on time.

Unfortunately, short-term sleep deprivation consequences aren’t all we’re in for. Sleep is imperative for good health and well-being throughout your life. Quality sleep can improve your mental health, physical health, and safety.

Take mental health, for instance. Sleep helps your brain function properly. While you’re asleep, your brain is categorizing and storing information you gathered throughout the day. It is forming new pathways to help you learn and remember information. It is replaying situations from the day, in the form of dreams. But when you skip out on proper sleep, your informationprocessing system is disrupted. N ow, because of a few hours of sleep loss, activity in some parts of your brain are altered. You probably will experience difficulty when making decisions, solving problems, controlling emotions, and coping with changes. And on the topic of mental health: sleep deficiency has been linked to depression and risk-taking behavior.

If you’re feeling uncharacteristically sad, lonely, or hopeless, chances are you should evaluate your sleep habits and make sure you’re getting enough shut-eye at night.

Now, what about physical health? Many students at Loras are athletes and know how important sleep is before a big game, match, invitational, or race. But rarely do we think about how sleep affects our workouts during the week. A bad workout if often chalked up to what you ate that day, your health, your mental state, or soreness from a previous workout. Rarely do we chalk a bad workout—or a consistent stream of

bad workouts—up to how much sleep we’re getting. However, sleep is when our bodies perform a vast majority of muscle repair and building.

During deep non-REM sleep and REM sleep, the body becomes immobilized (side note: this is why some people experience sleep paralysis, if they wake up during a REM cycle) as to not act out dreams, as well as allow the body to fully rest. Deep sleep allows your body to repair tissue and bones and strengthens your immune system. Depriving yourself of this important type of sleep can lead to decreased athletic performance, sickness, and even to potential injury if your muscles and bones are chronically deprived of full repair.

In addition to a worsened physical and mental quality of life, safety can become an issue for sleep-deprived people. Often, if someone doesn’t get a decent amount of sleep for a long time, their body will become “adjusted” to sleep deprivation and this feeling will become their norm. However, just because you feel “normal” doesn’t mean you don’t still need your sleep. Sometimes, the brain will force what is called “microsleep” in order to become a little less sleep deprived. Microsleep consists of brief moments of sleep that occur when you’re normally awake, but perceive to be “zoned out.”

A person has no control over microsleep, but recall that they don’t remember what just occurred or how they got somewhere.

Sometimes, this happens when you’re driving.

Most people have experienced their brain going on “autopilot” where they’re driving, and happen to end up in a location with no recollection of the drive there. This is a mild form of microsleep, where your driving muscle memory takes over. More intense versions of microsleep are what make drowsy driving just as dangerous as drunk driving: it is estimated that driver sleepiness is a factor in 100,000 car accidents each year, resulting in approximately 1,500 deaths according to studies compiled by the U.S. Department of Health.

So, if this article hasn’t convinced you to get more sleep by (1) becoming less of a procrastinator, (2) not staying downtown until closing time, or (3) collaborating with classmates on large assignments to be more efficient with your homework, you can’t say you haven’t been adequately warned of the dangers of sleep deprivation. One or two nights isn’t going to be life-altering, as we all have these nights. It’s the consistent sleep deprivation habits that really should be altered.

doing all of the work.

The ACT test doesn't assess social skills, so just because you got into college doesn't mean you'll be naturally good at meeting people. It means that intellectually, you are smart enough to be here. Integrating into the community and learning how to be present and social are skills that may benefit you. College isn't just about getting the degree, it's about learning how to dialogue and engage with people who are different from you ... and about trying new things that might be out of your comfort zone.

One last thing to think about it participating in a new group on campus that is meant to help Duhawks connect. It is a low key open group that meets during common time in the back of the CEL office on the 5th floor of the ACC. It is literally called “Duhawks Connect”. It's a great place to just talk about how to navigate the stressors of college, practice mindfulness, and chill with some fun people.

Signed, Trish

Learning more about the 12-step program

by Daniel willis

A

Mind & Soul / Community Editor

lcoholics Anonymous was the original twelve step recovery program. It was founded in 1935 in Akron, Ohio

by Bill Wilson, a stockbroker, and Dr. Bob Smith, a physician.

The program spread to New York City, Bill Wilson’s home, shortly thereafter.

Today there are thousands of AA meetings all over the world.

The AA program’s primary written resource is the AA “Big Book”, simply entitled “Alcoholics Anonymous.” The book is now in its fourth edition.

The Al-Anon program is a twelvestep program of recovery for friends and families of alcoholics. It was founded

in 1951 by Anne B. and Lois Wilson (Bill’s wife). Today there are hundreds of twelve step recovery programs for every kind of addiction. These programs include Narcotics Anonymous, Emotions Anonymous, Online Gamers Anonymous, and programs for Overeaters, Gamblers, Debtors, Clutterers, Sexaholics, Workaholics, and Adult Children of Alcoholics. Most of these programs have meetings in the Dubuque area.

The twelve steps of AA, suggested as a program of recovery from alcoholism, are listed below: 1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol -that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over the care of God as we understood him.

4. Made a searching and fearless

Always remember safety first

How to minimize risks ... on and off campus by maddie smith

I

staff writer

n light of recent events, it is important to remember how you can stay safe on campus, in Dubuque, and in general. Although Loras is a small campus full of friendly faces, you should always take the necessary precautions to ensure your safety. Keep in mind these simple ways to prevent yourself from getting into a harmful situation. Stay safe!

Be aware of your surroundings

As you are walking to your destination, don’t be consumed with your phone or have your music blaring. This can distract you from everything that’s going on around you and can prevent you from recognizing a dangerous situation. Look up and listen. Be aware!

The buddy system

Especially at night, it is important to stick with your friend group or at least one other person. Should there be an emergency, there is a better chance that 911 will be called quicker than if you are alone. If you are alone, though, try to call someone and stay on the line until you arrive at your destination.

Keep moving

After getting into our cars, one of the first things we like to do is just sit and check our phones or start playing music. But you should not remain idle, for it can be a perfect opportunity for predators. Instead, you should lock your doors and leave shortly afterwards. That being said, as an extra precaution, look around the car and in the back/passenger seats and floors before getting into your car.

Charge your phone

Even though it is best not to be distracted by your phone, make sure it is charged before you leave. One of the worst things that can happen is knowing your phone is dead when you need to make an emergency phone call. Also, don’t forget to update your emergency contact numbers!

Lock up

Always lock your doors! Although it sometimes feels like a hassle to lock and unlock your doors, failure to do so may lead to your own vulnerability, unwanted visitors/disruption of privacy, or easy access for burglars. Especially when you are away or sleeping, lock your dorm room/apartment doors, cars, and even windows.

Campus Safety

If you are ever feeling uneasy as you walk around campus, don’t be afraid to call campus safety for an escort to your destination. Simply call the information desk at (563)-588-7100 with Extension 0. Campus security is available 24 hours a day!

Consider your self-defense options

Hopefully, you will never have to use it, but consider carrying pepper spray, a personal alarm keychain, or downloading an app that can track your safety and respond immediately in an emergency situation. These items could make the difference in fighting off a predator but can also make you feel more comfortable and relaxed anywhere you go.

MASS TIMES Various locations • 5:15 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at CTK • 9 p.m. Wednesdasy at St. Joseph • 4 p.m. Friday at CTK • 8:30 a.m. Saturday at CTK • 8 p.m. Sunday at CTK

moral inventory of ourselves.

5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.

8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

Surrender to a higher power – the God of your understanding -- is a core principle of the AA program. AA is a spiritual program, not a religious program. Members of AA come from every faith tradition and every walk of life.

Anonymity is another core principle in all of these twelve step programs, with the clearly stated goal of preserving members’ reputations and livelihoods.

There have been AA meetings on the Loras College campus at various times in the recent past, but no on-campus meeting currently exists. Students who may be interested in starting a meeting on campus should get in touch with Trish Borelli in the Counseling Center.

There are meetings of AA and Al-Anon every day of the week in the Dubuque area.

For more information about meetings in the area, call or visit the Dubuque Area Intergroup at 1670 Asbury Road, Dubuque. The phone number there is 563557-9196.

Information about AA can be found online by visiting ww.aa-iowa.org; information about Al-Anon can be found at iowa-al-anon.org.

An Antioch witness by joanna dillon

hat is Antioch? There’s a lot of buzz about it within the Spiritual Life community. But answers always seem vague about what really goes down on that magical weekend.

The fact of the matter is, you have to experience Antioch to really know what it’s like. Like a typical retreat, there are talks, discussions, and prayer, but I don’t want to ruin the best parts.

Antioch also comes with time to relax from a busy college life, in an amazing community with an overwhelming feeling of acceptance -- and Debbie’s extraordinary scotcharoos!

Antioch welcomes everyone, no matter their faith background.

Personally, Antioch was my first ever retreat. Coming from a small parish, we didn’t have youth groups or anything that made faith “fun.” Antioch was a great experience; it showed me what faith has done for others, and inspired

me to continue exploring my own faith.

And Antioch was fun! It posed questions that made me think, and gave me time to sit back and reflect on decisions that I’ve made in my life. No matter where one is in life, using some peaceful time to step back and reflect is necessary for growth. More importantly, Antioch wasn’t just a weekend experience: I still reflect back to the weekend and remember the wise words of the Antioch community.

This semester, Antioch will begin the evening of Friday, Nov. 9 and will run until midday on Sunday, Nov. 11. There are pamphlets with signup sheets located outside the café/pub area and outside the Spiritual Life Office. Please be sure to sign up

Duhawks storm back, but lose nail-biter Cross-town rival wins offensive shootout in an unorthodox way: A 50-yard fumble return

Players celebrate after Loras scores a touchdown to take a 42-35 lead over the the University of Dubuque on Saturday.

However, the Spartans later rallied to win the game, 49-42.

by John Mulcrone sports writer

With less than a minute remaining and the score knotted at 42, it looked as if the Duhawks were about to score a game winner over archrival University of Dubuque in the Key City Clash.

Time and time again on Saturday afternoon, the Duhawks had made big plays on the offensive side of the ball. However, the pocket collapsed around Duhawk quarterback sophomore Noah Sigwarth and he was hit as he reached back to throw, resulting in a fumble. The loose ball was scooped up by Dubuque’s Marshon Crowder and returned 50 yards for the go-ahead touchdown.

A massive crowd of 2,870 fans turned out to see this crosstown matchup, and it did not disappoint. With over 1,100 yards of total offense between the two teams and a combined 91 points, it was an exciting day in the Rock Bowl. While the Spartans’ scoop-and-score late in the fourth quarter proved to be the difference, the Duhawk offense continued its recent scoring tear by accounting for 35 points, with the other coming from an interception returned for a touchdown from junior defensive back Brandon Niemeier. Sigwarth completed 20

passes for 291 yards and four touchdowns, finishing with 356 yards of total offense. Senior wideout Brad Boelkow finished with a career-high 10 grabs for 124 yards and two scores. Junior Sam Maloney also caught two touchdowns, including a 65 yard score in the third quarter.

On Thursday, Sept. 27, the women faced off against Wartburg College here at home. It was a tough match for them, and the Knights won, 7-2.

The two matches that Loras won were the No. 1 and No. 4 singles matches. Sophomore Audrey Hinz, playing at No. 1 for singles defeated Wartburg’s No. 1 6-1, 6-2, giving Hinz her third win at No. 1 this season. First year Mariana Boyana Paez won her first match at No. 4 singles by defeating Wartburg’s No. 4 6-3, 6-2.

“Wartburg had a pretty solid team,” Head Coach Chad Fenwick said.

of the six matches. Cooke and sophomore Maddie Smith, playing at No. 3 and No. 6 respectively, both won their matches 6-0, 6-1. Boyana Paez, continuing as the No. 4 player, won her match 6-4, 6-0. Wrapping it all up was junior McKenna Craff at No. 5 singles, who won her close match with the scores 6-4, 5-7, and 10-8 in the tiebreaker. The Duhawks won the match 6-3, marking the first conference win that they need to get into the conference tournament.

Directly after their match with Simpson, the women’s tennis players played against Central in Pella, Iowa. Starting off in doubles, the No. 2 team of Cooke and Roche and the No. 3 team of Long and Bayona Paez won their matches 8-5 and 9-7 respectively, allowing the team to move into singles with the score sitting at 2-1. Hinz and Cooke deepened the divide between Loras and Central by winning the No.1 and No. 3 singles matches, bringing the overall score to

4-1. Central fought back though, defeating Long, Bauman, and Smith in the No. 2, No. 5, and No. 6 matches. It all came down to Bayona Paez at the No. 4 spot. She fought hard, but ultimately lost her three set match 6-4, 4-6, 4-6. It was a close match overall, but the Duhawks ended the day with a 4-5 loss.

“I am disappointed that we couldn’t take home both wins,” Coach Fenwick said, “but I am incredibly pleased with the effort that the women showed during these matches. They played well and never gave up.”

With the one win and two defeats, the women brought their overall score up to 3-6, and their overall conference score up to 1-4. The women’s tennis team may have lost two of their three matches that week, but they did gain one conference win, meaning that they only need two more conference wins to claim a spot in the tournament. Their next matches will be crucial for them.

ast Thursday night the Los Angeles Rams battled with the Minnesota Vikings. Both team’s defense seemed to be absent from this battle. In fact, the two teams tallied 69 combined points. This truly was a battle of explosive offenses, together there was a total of six punts. Quarterbacks Jared Goff and Kirk Cousins were tearing their opponents secondary. They tossed for a total combined yardage of 1,002.

This game wasn’t only energized from the offense, but the players got to play the game with hardly any interruptions. There were only six penalties from the two teams during the match. This is truly a game that the fans want to see on Thursday Night Football.

Goff had himself a game. He tore through the previous record for a quarterback on Thursday night.

Goff had 465 total yards through the air. He also managed to toss five touchdowns throughout the night. Finally, and most impressively, he snagged himself a perfect passer rating.

The L.A. Rams look to be the best team in the NFL right now. This is easy to say after what they did to what usually is considered to be one of the better NFL defenses. We may consider that Buffalo also tore the Vikings up just the week before.

The Chiefs do require credit as well. Their newly appointed quarterback has been setting records this year too. He set the three game record for passing touchdowns in week two with 10, and now he is sitting at 13 total at the end of week three. A game of these teams going head-to-head this season will be one to watch. The two go toe-to-toe on Monday, Nov. 19 in L.A. It’ll be interesting to see these explosives offenses tangle with each other.

As the season progresses, keep an eye on the NFL. There has been a lot of strange things happening so far. The Miami Dolphins are leading their division while the Patriots sit at the bottom of the standings.

Though they did manage to bounce back smacking Miami 38-7. The Cleveland Browns did lose, but looked pretty good doing it. Well as good as you can losing 45-42 in overtime. Hopefully Cleveland will continue to get better, it would be great to see this franchise turn around their luck.

‘A lot of big games’ on the horizon Men’s soccer team scores twice in less than 2 minutes

by Jon Quinn sports editor

The men’s soccer team are on a four-game win-streak after a conference win over Nebraska Wesleyan University this past Saturday. The 2-1 win gives the team a great start into conference play and rankings.

“It’s clutch time in the season. We have a lot of big games coming forward,” said head coach Dan Rothert. “This is, certainly a confidence to come from behind,” referring to last year when the team had to battle back its spot in playoffs after a conference loss.

Last Saturday’s conference game put the team on edge because Nebraska Wesleyan scored the first goal in the 38th minute

by David Zink. The Duhawks battled back through the second half and was able to find the net in the 70th minute.

Wesleyan’s goalkeeper. The team was able to take that momentum and run with it scoring another goal in the 72nd minute.

Senior defender Ryan Pacholski scored the game-winning goal assisted by junior midfielder Miles McDonnell and first-

year midfielder Tiernan Talbot. It started with a free kick by Talbot who connected with McDonnell inside the penalty area.

McDonnell’s header flew outside the box but before it could touch the ground, Pacholski struck and sent the ball into the

Schutz earns hat trick

Gretchen Schutz earns 3 goals in a single conference game

The Duhawks took on Nebraska Wesleyan in an American Rivers Classic at the Rock Bowl on Saturday. The weather looked to be a problem for both teams as the temperature dropped accompanied by cloudy skies and light showers.

“When adjusting to the Iowa weather changes, it’s always tough because you don’t know what you are going to get.

We do know that we need to be mentally strong so that things such as the weather don’t affect our performances,” Said Matt Pucci, head women’s soccer coach, on the issues of Iowa weather.

Senior Gretchen Schutz was one of the many players this season to have herself a star-strutted game. Schutz scored goals for the Duhawks in the 14, 65, and 70 minutes, ending the

game with a hat trick.

“Gretchen was one of the handful of players who played a great game! She is always dangerous in the attack and fortunately she was getting good looks and finishing them this weekend.

She did really well, I couldn’t really take her off the field today. That’s the standard I hold her at, and overall it was quiet a game. We expect that from her day in Gretchen Schutz and day out, she is one of the older players on the team that a lot of people look up to.

When she is firing all cylinders, we are winning games,” Pucci said.

“With the conference starting, we knew each team was going to be really tough. We knew we had to come out on top of our game and take shots. Nothing is going to go in if you don’t take shots, so that’s what we continued to do to-

night, and it just happened to work for us,” Schutz said in an interview after the game.

The Duhawks ended the game with a 5-2 victory improving their record to 8-2. Goals were also scored by junior Jenny Wick in minute 21 and senior Elizabeth Mills in minute 30. While the conference win was great, coach Pucci does not want the team to get too comfortable saying, “It was a tough game with the conditions present, and it was nice for us to score some goals, but we still would have liked a better performance all around. As the season progresses, we are not looking to get too comfortable.

It’s that time of the season where we need to find a new level, and not be completely satisfied with what we have done this first half of the year,” Pucci said.

The Duhawks now are preparing to take on Luther College at home Saturday, Oct. 6.

opposing team’s net.

The two goals in less than two minutes left the fans in an uproar. For the last 15 minutes of the match, Nebraska Wesleyan attempted to make a comeback by moving another man up. Hence, Loras backed up their defense with an extra man. This defensive plan eventually did its job and the Duhawks won 2-1.

“We actually had a sub on the line for Berardi to pull a sweeper and then we scored a goal and that changed our chain of thought,” said Rothert.

Prior to this excited win, the Duhawks also took down Iowa Wesleyan last week with a 7-0 victory. This was the team’s fifth shutout of the season. Rothert gave a lot of credit to junior Jesse Buffington who had some big shoes to fill since last year’s goalkeeper Jacob Peterson had graduated.

The team has a busy schedule this upcoming week with a conference game against Luther College which will be hosted here in Dubuque at the Rock Bowl at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6. After the weekend, the team takes on University of Wisconsin-Platteville at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9.

Fast to react Men’s golf team wins 12-team invitational

by Christopher Ponton sports writer

Just three days after a second place finish in their home invitational, men’s golf headed to Oakbrook, IL, to play in the Elmhurst Invitational on Thursday, Sept. 27. The Duhawks were able to overcome the short week of rest and pull out a first-place victory.

Among the 12 teams competing, Loras College finished tied with Lake Forest at the end of match play, with both teams shooting 13-over par. It wasn’t until five tiebreakers later that Loras was finally crowned the team champion of the 2018 Elmhurst Invitational. Among other finishers, host Elmhurst College finished just one stroke off of the lead placing third, Augustana College finished in fifth with a team total of 23-over par, and Judson University placed last with a combined 45-over par.

Along with a stellar team performance, many Duhawks contributed with spectacular individual play. Leading the way was sophomore Jake Peiser, who finished tied sixth overall, shooting a 2-over par. Peiser’s score of 2-over 74 was a new season-low for the Duhawks. Junior Peter Hutton and first-year Ryan Keating both finished tied 15th shooting 4-over par. Hutton’s 4-over 76 was his best round of the season, while Keating tied his season low. Jake Grabner also had a strong showing, shooting an impressive 3-over 75 and finishing tied for 10th. Ricky Schmidt of Lake Forest College took home the individual crown, shooting a 4-under 68. He was in complete control throughout the day and there was no doubt that he was going to be named champion.

Overall, top-tier individual play was the key to Loras claiming the team title. Men’s golf will look to continue their success on the links as they wrap up their fall season at the Clarke Invitational on Wednesday, Oct. 5.

This is a rescheduled match from Wednesday, Sept. 5, which was postponed due to inclement weather.

Consistent top finishes for runners Men’s and women’s cross-country teams finish 3rd and 4th, respectively, among 19 teams at invitational

by AUDREY MILLER sports editor

This past weekend, on Saturday, Sept.

29, the Loras cross-country team took a day trip to Waverly, IA, to compete at Wartburg College’s Max Championship cross-country course.

This is the site of the Central Region’s 2018 and 2019 regional competitions, which determine which teams compete at nationals. The Loras team traveled with the intent of previewing the course at the Dan Huston Invitational and racing against teams they would later see at the regional competition.

On the men’s side, the Loras men’s team placed third out of 19 teams, after Wartburg and St. Thomas. Coming in first for the Duhawk men was junior Patrick Wolak, with a time of 25:52. Following Wol a k we re ju nior Cole Conklin-Little, senior When we get Jack Carroll and to races, I like Preston Kauder, running where sophomores Luke Guttormson, I start in the Blake Keller, and back and the Joey Schultz.

“We ran better today than two weeks ago at Notre Dame,” said Katie McDermott, assistant coach of the team, after the race. “We had an idea that Wartburg would be on top. St. Tomas—to me—was unexpected, but we’ll get them later. To see Cornell at the meet was also a good experience for us. They have a decent squad and we were ahead of them today, which was good.”

On the women’s side, the Loras women’s team came in fourth out of 19 teams with 127 points, after Wartburg, Gustavus Adolphus, and Grinnell. This was an improvement from last year, where the women’s team came in seventh out of 12 teams with 184 points. This marks the level of

progress the women’s team has already seen this season, and points to a strong finish at the end of the season, when place matters more than the first few races of the season.

“I think we finished right where we expected to finish,” said McDermott.

“I wanted to see how close we would be to Wartburg, Gustavus Adolphus, and Grinnell. Wartburg was really out there, points-wise, but the next two teams in front of us are close. If we’re close now, we can get them at the end of the year.”

As for individual results, sophomore Kassie Rosenbum came in second with a time of 22:38. Following Rosenbum was a tightly-packed group including sophomore Brianna Renner, senior Audrey Miller, junior Courtney Knight, and first years Cam Reeg, Maggie Bald, and Emma Earles. The spread from the second to sixth runners on the team was only five seconds; the spread from two through seven was 15 seconds.

“It’s fun to see how good our team is this year,” junior Courtney Knight said after the race. “Our first-years are a speedy bunch.”

Seven runners constitute a varsity team in cross country, even though the entire team races at the same time. One exciting top-seven breakthrough at this meet was Knight, who ran as Loras’ seventh run-

ner with a time of 24:33. While the team strategy is to race “tired” until the post-season and not expect big personal records until the end of the season, Knight had an excellent race and First-year runner att r ibute d it to Kassie Rosenburg is making her presence all the work she’s been putting in. known with solid “I knew we’ve performances. been putting in a lot of work,” Knight said. “We’ve had a month and a half of working hard at practice. When we get to races, I like running where I start in the back and then catch up. It’s more exciting that way, where you can see yourself catching up.”

Knight was also the only female runner to run 1000 kilometers in consecutive days over the summer (1000 km = 620 miles).

On the men’s side, Ryan “Murph” Murphy, Nathan “Goose” Goslin, Patrick “Skeeter” Wolak, Preston “Prestonland” Kauder, Cole Conklin-Little, and Joey “Packerfan” Schultz accomplished the men’s goal of running 1000 miles (or more, in most cases) over the course of one summer.

As for upcoming races, the Duhawks

are excited about the dropping temperatures and the anticipation of big races coming up. This weekend, on Friday, Oct. 5, the Duhawks will be heading to the Dubuque soccer complex for their annual home meet. Next weekend, they will be getting on a bus bound for Oshkosh, WI, where they will preview the course which will be hosting the 2018 national cross-country championships in Nov.

Outgrowing the growing pains Duhawks prepare for upcoming challenges in conference play

by NATALIE DROESKE sports writer

Coming out of a lull in the middle of the season, the Duhawks are on the upswing facing the heart of their conference season.

“Every team hits growing pains,” said Coach Jenna Ness, “it just comes down to how hard and how fast you can fight through it.”

The Duhawks stretched out their growing pains against St. Benedict on Saturday, Sept. 22, as Loras tried out a fresh lineup while seeking renewed energy.

Despite the 3-1 road loss, statistically, the women showed that they might be turning the corner. They returned home and earned their

next “W” over Iowa Wesleyan the following Tuesday.

Senior Jenna LaCorte, back home on the outside pin, posted a then career-high 17 kills against St. Benedict alongside 20 digs, her fifth double-double of the season.

The momentum gained from the battle with St. Benedict and victory over Iowa Wesleyan left the team “hungry” for more, going into last Friday’s home match against the Luther Norse.

“Every team in our conference is going to be a battle; everyone hypes up for conference matches,” said Ness.

The American Rivers Conference match was a battle as expected. A slower start allowed the visiting Norse to narrowly claim the first two sets 2521 and 25-23, but the Duhawks answered early in the third set, claiming the next two 26-24 and 25-19.

Despite LaCorte posting a fresh career-high 23 kills and junior Kelly Boge putting up four blocks, the Duhawks fell in the final set 15-9.

“You just have to battle through some growing pains and that’s what we have to do … The teams we played were really good, and that’s what it’s going to be like all year,” said Ness.

“We just have to train like we’re losing and play like we’re winning.”

Finishing off the weekend on a high note, though, the women were victorious over the UW-River Falls Falcons on Saturday, 3-1. Most notably, the Duhawks finished with 12 service aces, something the team has been working hard on since last season.

With conference matches in full swing, the Duhawks will continue their stretch at home taking on Nebraska Wesleyan on Friday, Oct. 5, beginning at 7:30 p.m.
