“ T a k e a Moment,

Take a Seat” marked the of-

ficial comple-tion of Phase 1 of Carroll University’s master plan Nov. 15.

After a long period of construction, Main Lawn is now ready to be used by students and other members of the Carroll community.

Student Senate Presi-dent Luke Bennewitz cut the ribbon and tossed the

honorary first Frisbee across the lawn to make the long-awaited moment official.

“I can’t put that mo-ment into words because

any description I give would be an injustice to how significant this even was,” said Bennewitz. “It’s us opening a door to Car-roll’s future.”

Carroll students, staff, fac-ulty and community mem-bers gathered on the newly con-structed garden wall at the edge of Main Lawn at the beginning of the short event.

“We wanted everyone to know what it was for,” said Car-roll President Dr. Douglas Has-tad. “We want students to be able to gather there and reflect on life and the world.”

Vice-President of Finance and Administrative Services Ron Lostetter, Board of Trustees Fa-cilities Committee member An-thony Bryant and Chair of the

Board of Trustees Marna Tess-Mattner joined Hastad at the unveiling. Together, they “chris-tened” the new sign at the center of the wall with a bottle of non-alcoholic champagne.

The Business Department will be undergoing a transition-al period of restructuring that has left some faculty and students scratching their heads.

The restructuring period first began in February of 2010. The phase consisted of business facul-ty positions opening up towards the end of the year. This means that the professors who currently serve those positions need to re-apply for those jobs. Additional-ly, those jobs will be open for out-side of Carroll applicants as well.

“It’s stressful,” said Debra Schultz, “But we’re getting every opportunity to apply.”

Professor Schultz, Visit-ing Assistant Professor of Busi-ness, who has been an adjunct for three years before becoming full-time for the past five years, gave insight into this situation.

“Faculty members who are non-tenured are being transi-tioned into instructional spots,” said Schultz, “The transition pro-cess is difficult for the professors that go a whole year wondering if they have a job or not.”

This transition period within the department has gone relative-ly unnoticed by the student body, even within the students who are Business majors.

Angela Wisniewski, a sopho-more Business major, knew little information about the actual re-structuring.

“I never heard anything about this,” stated Wisniewski, “I think that if some don’t get re-hired then I think there will be some animosity.”

“Carroll’s really a good place and we have phenomenal faculty in the Business department,” said Schultz, “I think that the posi-tive side is having faculty that are strong in the classroom.”

The official decisions about the placements of faculty mem-bers have not been made yet and opportunities for applications have been made public.

and revealed to the students and Carroll community the 700-pound bronze medallion located at the center of a direc-tionally-accurate cement com-pass in front of Main Hall.

“The medallion is a blend of remembering the past and looking forward to the future,” said Lostetter. “We wanted to make the statement that Carroll has been around for a long time, and it’s still going to be here for years to come.”

Measuring six feet in di-ameter, the medallion was too large to be poured at any found-ry nearby. It had to be trans-ported to Milwaukee from Se-attle, Wash., to be finished after it was poured. According to

Lostetter, a special process was used to create the texture on the medallion.

Although several addi-tions were made to Main Lawn, one major feature has been re-moved. Circle Drive no longer exists as a road that cuts across the campus in front of Main Hall. Instead, two cement rails embedded in the lawn mark the outline of what is now known as Legacy Drive.

“We talked to a commit-tee of faculty, staff and students, during the process of Phase 1,” said Lostetter. “We gathered a lot of great feedback, but one thing people were concerned about was the removal of Cir-cle Drive.”

According to Hastad and Lostetter, many members of the Carroll community consid-ered Circle Drive a monumen-tal place where some of the best events of their lives occurred, such as engagements. They stressed the fact that they did not want to lose something that was so significant to them. Leg-acy Drive became the ultimate solution for their concerns.

“So many members of the community extended their ideas, concepts and concerns,” said Lostetter. “I hope everyone feels some level of ownership of Main Lawn.”

The entire project cost about $800,000, and has in-creased Carroll’s green space. According to Hastad, the re-moval of Circle Drive created a significant amount of extra space for seating during com-mencement, which traditional-ly always occurs on Main Lawn.

“This really is the students’ lawn,” said Hastad, “I truly hope they enjoy it now that it’s completed.”

Restaurant under new ownership

Change is happening in The Clarke Hotel, 314 W. Main St., where the restau-rant is under new ownership, has a new name and new rec-ipes. Owner and chef Tony Hernandez renamed the res-taurant D Mo’s Italian Pas-ta & Chop House @ The Clarke.

He said he spent more than 10 years working as a chef in New York city. Own-er and operator of the Clarke Hotel, Drew Vallozzi, has a lot of praise for his tenant, who he said was sous-chef for celebrity chef Bobby Flay for about two years at Mesa Grill.

Brookfield family cleans upIn a battle over who could throw out the least trash, Brook-

field’s Steve and Mary Jo Baas and their three daughters came out at the top of the heap.

The family was able to reduce the garbage they generated from 20.8 pounds a week to just 2.1 pounds. That’s nearly a 90% reduction. Or to put it another way: The family ended up with waste that weighed slightly more than four Big Macs.

“Steve and I don’t think of ourselves as environmentalists,” Mary Jo Baas blogged earlier this month as part of a competi-tion of households in Waukesha County to see who could whittle down their waste stream the most.

As part of the competition, Karen Fiedler, solid waste coordi-nator for Waukesha County set up a blog site and families kept up with their progress, and the site became a rich source of recycling tips. The Baas family found they could recycle their No. 5 plastic yogurt containers in Whole Foods on Milwaukee’s East Side. Re-cyclers in the Milwaukee area generally take only No. 1 and No. 2 plastics.

“The take-away point is that people are already recycling, but even people who recycled were finding they were able to do a lot more,” Fiedler said.

What the localsare doin’

Carroll’s writing major in the works

Kristina LjujicEditorial Staff

“Courses such as poetry and creative writing will always be

here. Students should have the opportunity to

expand.”--Dr. Lori Kelly

plans underway for carroll’s professional writing program: an interdisciplinary course of study for writing majors

The Carroll University Eng-lish department is in the pro-cess of revising its writing major to include courses in other dis-ciplines.

“We’re only in the planning stages,” said Carroll’s Depart-ment of English and Modern Languages Chair, Dr. Lori Kelly. “We hope to make it available to students next fall.”

The new major would be labeled as professional writ-ing, and would include courses in fields such as business, jour-nalism, health and science. This would allow students to broad-en their horizons and ideally in-crease their chances of finding a job after graduation.

“It would help prepare stu-dents for careers where writing is the main job,” said Charles By-ler, Carroll’s Interim vice-pro-vost and interim dean of hu-manities and social sciences.

Professional writing majors are becoming more common on campuses across the nation. Carroll’s English department is looking toward other pro-fessional writing programs for ideas. The focus of the program is interdisciplinary, and appeals to students who are pursuing ca-reers other than writing novels or poetry.

“We want to expand the vis-ibility of writing on campus,” said Kelly. “We hope we will be-

gin to have partnerships with other departments on campus.”

For students who, for exam-ple, would like to pursue a career in the field of science, but don’t necessarily want to be scientists, the professional writing major provide them with an alterna-tive. Students would be able to be a part of the science world by writing technical documents for others in the field.

“We would probably help other departments design as-signments that would fit into the major,” said Kelly.

However, students current-ly pursuing the original writing major have expressed some con-cern over the alterations. Most concerns involve the possible re-moval of some courses, and the complete overhaul of the major into something other than cre-ative writing.

“Students in the Writing

major will still be able to gradu-ate with it,” said Byler.

There are currently 24 stu-dents pursuing majors in writ-ing, and seven pursuing mi-nors. Byler and Kelly said that no writing classes, such as Cre-ative Writing, would be dis-solved with the original writing major. Instead, students would be able to chose which fields of writing they would want to fo-cus on, whether it’s health, sci-ence, or creative writing.

“Courses such as poetry and creative writing will always be here,” said Kelly, “Students should have the opportunity to expand.”

The professional writing major is merely a possibility as of now. There are still several steps in the process to create the ma-jor.

“I’m looking forward to the possibilities,” said Byler.

Thirteen years after entering the world of country music with his de-but album “In the Ranch,” Keith Ur-ban has released his eighth album.

“Get Closer,” which was released on Nov. 16, takes a step away from the almost-pop style of Urban’s last album, “Defying Gravity,” and a step back to-ward his country roots. Songs such as “Put You in a Song” closely resemble the style of his older albums, “Golden Road” and “Be Here.”

As always, Urban’s well-known gui-tar skills are the main element through-out much of the album. “Georgia Wood” contains a nearly two-minute-long guitar solo.

Target is offering an extended ver-sion of the album, which includes three bonus tracks, as well as four live tracks. For more information on Keith Urban and his latest album, “Get Closer,” visit www.keithurban.net.

With the advent of major feature films increasingly being filmed in 3D, Jackass 3D was a success. Among the many unspreakable items to ‘fly out’ at the audience were paintballs, shoes and dildos.

Director Jeff Tremaine attacked this film with the same ferocity he did with the last movies; complete with gut-bust-ing stunts and disgusting dares.

One of the most noteable gross acts played on Steve-O’s forte for ingesting weird things. This time he was offered a Sweat Suit Cocktail, which is just as bad as it sounds.

The pinnacle stunt of Tremaine’s film invovled Steve-O being strapped into a Porta Potty which was launched upward by bungee cords.

So if you’re looking for a relaxing matinee showing or a relatively empty theater, you can still see Jackass 3D at The Ridge in New Berlin.

At first glance, “Decoded” by Jay-Z is another story about a boy from the projects who changes from a life of drug dealing to a life of art and entrepreneu-rism. But it’s more than that - it’s an in-tensely personal exploration of hip-hop that fans from all walks of life will learn from. The collection of essays range from deeply rooted issues in American culture, like Hurricane Katrina to the decline of the music industry. Unconventional type design, line drawings and photographs visually emphasize the author’s message that rap is a form that transcends and de-fies easy categorization.

Jay-Z wrote that “[Decoded] is also about how my work is sometimes not about my life at all, but about pushing the boundaries of what I can express through the poetry of rap - trying to use words to find fresh angles into emotions that we all share, which is the hidden mission in even the hardest hip-hop.”

Recently with the Wii, there hasn’t been a largely successful FPS …yet. But Activition had just come out with a re-make of the infamous GoldenEye for the Wii.

Upon playing it, you can instant-ly tell that Activison put a lot of heart into GoldenEye, (the graphics and game play are vastly improved compared to past 007 Wii games.) GoldenEye has both a well versed campaign and mul-tiplayer. The campaign follows the ac-tual GoldenEye movie very closely. You get to experience the areas that you saw on the big screen. But the multiplayer is the main draw. You can play up to four players locally with numerous game play types (such as golden gun and paintball.)

Overall, with amazingly improved graphics and amazing multiplayer, Gold-enEye is a must-have for all nostalgic gamers and Wii owners looking for that breakthrough FPS.

Recognizing a popular interest in both the book and movie phenomenon among Carroll University students, ju-nior Amy Williams started the Harry Potter Club two years ago.

While Williams is studying abroad in England until December, junior Lo-gan Walsh has taken on the role of presi-dent of the organization until her return next semester.

The organization, which has con-tinued to grow, meets at 8 p.m. on Mondays and Fridays in MacAllister 108. When together, the group talks about the Harry Potter characters, hosts book discussions, plays themed games and watches an array of videos from YouTube to the actual movies.

“It’s a very loose organization,” said Walsh, “If you want to bring in a color-ing book, go for it.”

Recently, the organization hosted an event on campus which allowed stu-dents the opportunity to go to the mid-night movie premiere of the latest in-stallment in the franchise, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1.”

On Dec. 11 at 8 p.m., the organi-

zation will partner with the Anime Club for a Yule Ball in Ganfield Gymnasium, during which students are asked to dress formally and bring a date.

The organization is also seeking out any students who would be interested in participating in games of Quidditch during the spring.

The organization had tried to set up a few Quidditch matches earlier this se-mester, but the turn out was not strong enough to complete actual games.

“I think my favorite part of this or-ganization is the excitement I see in all of our members,” said Walsh.

As a Carroll University tour guide for prospective students, Walsh noted that he’s encountered an array of stu-dents that display excitement at hearing about the club.

Walsh also said that on a recent trip to the MyLifeIsAverage.com website, one poster shared that they had decid-ed to go to Carroll specifically because they had heard there was a Harry Pot-ter Club.

“There’s appeal everywhere,” said Walsh, “There are so many places you wouldn’t expect to see Harry Potter nerds.”

When director James Zager stepped out on stage for opening night of “Imagi-nary Invalid” on Nov. 19, he pointed out that a unique approach was taken when casting for the play: casting actors to their character’s costumes.

“Imaginary Invalid” follows Argan (junior Daniel Polaski) as he tries to wed off his daughter Angelique (Mariah Smith) to Dr. Lillicrap’s (junior Brandon Koster) son Thomas (sophomore Daniel Slattery), oblivious to her obvious love for Cleante (junior Devin Brockert). Meanwhile, through the combined wits of Toinette the maid (freshman Katelynne Rosera) and his brother Beralde (junior Justin Almquist), Argan is forced to reconsider his depen-dence on doctors, bringing light to an era in which many of those in the medical field were corrupt and money-driven.

Indeed, the array of costumes, which were designed by junior Stephanie Brownell, were definitely the highlight of the comedic satire written in 1673 by French playwright Moliere. Each of the character’s personalities complemented their respective outfits; whether it was the overexaggerated hump on uptight Beline’s (senior Lauren Morrison) bus-tle dress, the strict button-up attire of coarse Dr. Lillicrap or the laidback paja-mas of the gullible Argan.

“We all had a blast putting on cos-tumes and making jokes. They were some of the funniest costumes that we have got to wear,” said junior Justin Almquist, “The costumes led to all sorts of jokes backstage such as ‘The Pregnant Hunch-back,’ ‘Here Comes The Sun,’ ‘The White Queen,’ and ‘Captain Hook.’”

In addition to the whimsical cos-tumes, the simple, yet elegant set featur-ing an elaborate desk and pillars was de-signed by Assistant Theatre Arts Professor Scott Boyle. Though, in its simplicity, the scenery provided just enough of an intriguing, yet not distracting, backdrop to complement the plot.

Having only spent four weeks work-ing on the show, shorter than time spent on performances in the past, the actors attacked each of their roles with unique personality and apparent excitement; whether it was the cold cruelness of Dr. Lillicrap, the careful tender heartedness of Angelique or Mr. Goodfellow’s (junior Danielle Johnson) talented tongue-trilled speech. And for some actors, the play was their first.

“This was my first play and I could not believe how much fun it was! If I would have been involved in the theatre my freshman year, I would have definitely picked up a major or minor,” said Koster.

MUGGLE’SOPINION

E

There is only one word that can describe the lat-est installment of the Harry Potter franchise and, coinci-dently, is the first word that I blurted out after the mov-ie ended: epic.

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1” marks the beginning of the end (literally) for one of the biggest movie series of all time. The seventh mov-ie runs two and a half hours and covers the first half of the seventh book, a smart deci-sion by director David Yates.

The storyline takes a darker turn in this movie compared to the rest of the Potter films, but also com-bines the right amount of humor with this dramatic undertone to create a cine-matic masterpiece.

“Hallows,” unlike the rest of the Potter films, fo-cuses on Harry, Ron, and Hermione on the run and away from their usual Hog-

warts routines. While this might put off some Potter fans, it actually makes the storyline more interesting to know that our trio of he-roes has to fend for them-selves against Lord Volde-mort and his Death Eaters.

There are several reasons why “Hallows” is currently being raved as one of the best movies of 2010. How-ever, I am going to cover the top six reasons why mov-ie-goers everywhere will be wondering when they can see “Hallows” again the mo-ment they see the end cred-its.

First, “Hallows” appeals to all types of audiences: young, old, and everyone in between. For the younger audience, the film elevates the quality of the magic and spells and makes them come to life.

For the older audience, the film addresses how peo-ple go through suffering and great turmoil and if these events bring people

closer or drive people apart. In either case, you will be amazed.

Second, before people go to see this movie, if they have not read the seventh book, please be warned: tis-sues are essential. It should be a given that a film with the word “deathly” in it would be centered around fatalities, but “Hallows” will be pulling at the water works faster than you can say “Elder Wand”.

I, along with the mil-lions of other Potter fans that have read all the books more times than can count-ed on a person’s fingers, was still heartbroken to watch some of my favorite charac-ters pass away.

This was not because I knew it was coming, but rather, because of how at-tached I have become to those characters throughout the course of the years.

Third, “Hallows” has some of the most artistic moments out of the entire

Potter series. Between the music selections that per-fectly coincides with the actions of the movie, to Hermione telling the sto-ry of “The Tale of the Three Brothers” with some of the most amazing graphics ever seen in the Potter series, these moments are truly what makes the film mon-umental.

Fourth, which has been a common criticism of the Potter movies, is much the movie follows the storyline of the book. For “Hallows,” this is almost a perfect adap-tation of the seventh novel in the series.

The film uses several quotes exactly from the text and interprets character ac-tions and reactions perfect-ly. If some Potter fans only judge the films on if they are spot on to the books, they will surely not be dis-appointed.

Fifth, “Hallows” sees Harry, Ron, and Hermione at the peak of their char-acter development. Over the course of six years as friends, the famous trio has been through some pretty difficult situations, to say the least.

Therefore, “Hallows” gives the characters some time to show their true emotions and it tests their friendships to the limit. With the growing connec-tion that Potter fans have

towards these three main characters, the extra time that “Hallows” devotes to their relationship is sure to further illustrate the reflec-tions they themselves feel in the characters.

However, if there is one aspect of “Hallows” that stands out more than the rest it is the amount of action that is consistent throughout the film. It seems like every other scene in the movie involves Har-ry, Ron, and Hermione be-ing chased through crowds, fighting against Death Eat-ers, or running for their lives.

More importantly, while some critics might view this as a repetitive series of ac-tion scenes, it is actually pieced together seamlessly to make a perfect balance of action and drama.

“Hallows” is, by a land-slide, the best movie so far out of the Potter series. From the exquisite spe-cial effects, to the acting at the best it has ever been and from the amazing char-acter development, to the precise adaptation of the book, “Hallows” will stun audiences across the globe. While this film starts the countdown to the final days of the Potter series, “Hal-lows” gives movie-goers the film they have dreaming of before the movies cast their final spell.

MOTHERS, LOCK YOUR BLUDGERS

MUGGLE QUIDDITCH HAS HIT CARROLL

With the release of the latest Harry Potter film, the game of Quidditch has become the

center of attention for some student groups around the United States.

National Public Radio reported re-cently about a push by some intramural Quidditch teams to gain sponsorship of

the NCAA, opening the doors for sport to, for lack of better wording, take flight.

It’s not as easy as just asking the NCAA to approve the sport, however.

“What you’d need to get a group of schools and/or a complete conference to sponsor legislation

to get the ball rolling for it to be an official sport,” said Joe Baker, Carroll University’s Director of Athletics.

Once there appears to be legit-imate support for the sport, teams would need to push for sponsorship by the NCAA.

“The NCAA has a group of sports that it calls emerging,” Baker said, “Somebody has asked that they be considered a varsity sport and see how it goes for a while.”

If a sport gathers enough approv-al, it’s placed in the emerging sports category. For now, they’d still most-ly be intramural sports, but they have a shot. At this point, the sports main goal would be to continue trying to grow and gain recognition.

“They go from emerging to what they call championships,” said Bak-er, “Championship sports means the NCAA will now regulate that sport as a true sport and will develop a playoff and a championship format for that sport to come up with a na-tional champion.”

Baker said that there were oth-er complications to consider, how-ever. Complications that the NCAA would take into account when a sport is brought forward.

“Is it a high school sport?” Baker said, “Do you have a feeder system?”

College sports are necessarily geared

towards the interest of the student-ath-letes. If the likelihood of incoming ath-letes having experience and interest in playing the sport is small, so are the chances of the sport being approved.

“Do we have locker room space, coaching space, storage space, bud-get?” said Baker.

Each sport requires a certain por-tion of the athletic department’s re-sources. Sometimes a department just can’t handle a new sport.

“They aren’t necessarily things that can’t be dealt with,” Baker said.

Even if the school can handle a new sport, however, it doesn’t neces-

sarily mean other sports won’t have to sacrifice.

“If we add another outdoor sport, it’s going to conflict with the scheduling of the teams that we have,” Baker said.

The biggest key is interest. If enough students are interested, then, eventually, enough schools will be in-terested.

“You’re waiting for enough schools to say ‘Hey, that’s an inter-esting sport. Maybe we’ll think about it,’” Baker said.

In 1996, an unemployed, single English mother named Joanne Rowling set off to find a publisher for her manuscript about a young heroic wizard. Much to her dismay, she was told not to expect to get rich from writing children’s books.

Indeed, phenomena that have risen to such heights that the Harry Potter franchise has, never seem planned and are greet-ed with hesitance. According to TODAY, the “Star Trek” series was canceled after three seasons by NBC, and “Star Wars,” was rejected throughout Hollywood before taken on by 20th Centu-ry Fox which didn’t push for mer-chandising or sequel rights.

Soon, however, the Har-ry Potter phenomenon was alive and breathing, thanks to success in England and America.

With the Harry Potter book franchise that Rowling (who lat-er chose the pen name J.K. Row-ling) selling more than 400 mil-lion copies, and the newest movie,

“Harry Potter and the Death-ly Hallows: Part 1,” released on Nov. 21 making more than $330 million in its opening weekend with its six predecessors making more than $5.4 billion collective-ly, according to Reuters, the en-tirety of the franchise has yet to slow down. But why all the hype?

“It all started with the books,” said Carroll University’s Harry Potter Club president, ju-nior Logan Walsh, “What’s mag-ical is that it’s a series of intel-ligent well-written children’s books that appeal to everyone.”

Walsh also referred to the ability of the books to grow up with the children reading them, beginning with more childlike themes in the beginning and drawing on more adult themes towards the end of the series.

Associate Professor of The-atre Arts James Zager, whose cousin was a special effects pro-ducer for a few of the first mov-ies, agreed, focusing on the ability of the movies especially to reflect the age of Harry as he grows up.

“During the first movie, we

saw a variety of devices used that appeal to young children-vibrant colors, more humor. It was all very whimsical,” said Zager, “But as you move towards the latest movie, we see a more sophisticat-ed and darker plot.”

Zager also highlighted the idea that, unlike the Lord of the

Rings franchise (book-to-film), that it was more acceptable for the Harry Potter movie franchise to switch directors and film each movie separately rather than all together like director Peter Jack-son did on Lord of the Rings.

“The Lord of the Rings mov-ies had to look all the same, be-cause they were all in relatively the same time period,” said Zager, “In the Potter movies, we see a range of different directors used for each film. Not to mention the switch of actors for the role of Dumbledore, who each definitely have a different overall take on the character. But it remained seamless and didn’t crip-ple the movies. This just goes to show what an audience is willing to accept to hear a good story.”

In regard to both the books and movie phenomenon, Zag-er pointed to Rowling’s infallible ability to create a storyline that was one “long arc” with details master-fully interwoven into each book/movie that end up being all pulled together in the end to form a com-plex, yet skillfully creative plot.

“In a day and age when peo-

LIVEDthe boy who

THE MARK OF HARRY POTTER IS MORE THAN SKIN DEEP

ple are always on the go and rath-er impatient, it’s interesting what the Harry Potter franchise has ac-complished; readers and mov-ie goers eagerly awaited the next installment to the series, to an-swer their questions and contin-ue on with the plot. The audi-ence was asked to accept a ‘long

thought’ story, rather than short and rushed like everything else in today’s society,” said Zager.

Indeed, the ability for read-ers and moviegoers to grow up alongside characters Harry, Ron, Hermione remains to be a ma-jor intrigue in the phenomenon. But it begs the question, will the effect have lasting power or is it simply generational?

“The beauty of this fran-chise is the ability to grow up with it,” said Zager, “Once the movies are complete, and with the books already finished, one has to wonder if future genera-tions will have the same experi-ence this generation had.”

As only time can answer the question, hope can be derived from past phenomenons. “Star Wars” conventions still attract Jedi from everywhere and a new string of “Star Trek” movies are in production from J.J. Abrams.

Generations may very well fall under Potter’s spell for years to come.

The tendency to press send more easily as the night turns to morning, friends’ social habits, disgraced government officials, exes, law school, closing down bars and leaving tabs open, general debauchery and/or a common disgust for all the negativity surrounding the ‘sexting’ phenomenon have inspired Textsfromlastnight.com to launch its successful career onto the web. With a few cans of 4Loko, you can be a part of it.

One user submitted an ill-gotten text, saying, “Real friends wouldn’t let me shotgun a 4loko after already seeing me trying to eat a girl out through her jeans.” Of course, 4Loko and any alcoholic beverage can lead to a night of debauchery and blackouts, but it can quickly lead to more serious consequences.

According to the Washington Post, dozens of students at Central Washington University and Ramapo College in New Jersey, for example, recently were rushed to emergency rooms after consuming Four Loko, including some with alcohol poisoning and at least one near death. In other incidents, deaths and fatal car crashes have been blamed on the drinks. Recent studies have shown that with the confidence of caffeine, a less-than-sober person may feel that it’s okay to drive.

Four Loko has caffeine, malt liquor, guarana, taurine, plus sugar and artificial flavoring. This lethal concoction

How to be the best Santa this year...

Dear Editor,Oftentimes when I talk about this

school, the most common thing people say is Carroll is a “suitcase school”. After doing some investigating, I discovered that our freshman-to-sophomore retention rate, on average over the past 4 years, has been around 75 percent - meaning 25 percent of freshman will drop-out or transfer to another school before their sophomore year begins. Of the percentage that stay, most have weekend jobs, and others just go home because of significant others or other reasons.

The question that arises is what happens to the people that decide to stay on campus every weekend? Often times freshmen will complain that there’s never anything to do on campus

during the weekends, or that they can’t find anybody to spend time with. This is the number one reason that freshmen will transfer to another institution. On the other hand, most upperclassmen have the exact opposite problem—they’re incredibly busy and would love just sitting around for an afternoon some days. Why the discrepancy?

One thing Carroll University has that many larger institutions do not have is the opportunity to be as involved—or not involved—as desired. Any student has an equal opportunity to join any org they think is interesting. From starting your own radio station, to joining a fraternity/sorority, writing an article for the school newspaper or planning Carroll’s upcoming activities, there is something for everybody to

do no matter what your interests are. Often times, freshmen aren’t aware of the immense amount of involvement opportunity there is on campus, and maybe the fact that they don’t know is why they’re so unhappy.

If you’re a freshman and do not like this university, realize that you need to make it your own to appreciate it. Join organizations, or even create organizations, there’s just so much opportunity that you wouldn’t have anywhere else. When you’re involved, make a difference, and leave Waukesha better than when you arrived, you’ll find the fun and sense of accomplishment and belonging that you were looking for all along.

-Justin Jasniewski

I’ll be the first to admit that it is a little difficult to defend Four Loko. This drink, within the last few weeks, has been under fire due to college students across the country abusing its effects. Is it dangerous? The FDA recently ruled it certainly is, and gave a 15 day warning to its manufacturers to make changes to the drink or risk a nationwide ban.

Now I’m not going to pretend that mixing alcohol and stimulants is necessarily a remotely intelligent decision – but rather than banning the drink altogether, I’m thinking we need to go back to another avenue: common sense. Something that many college students would, admittedly, say that they lack when drinking alcohol.

It’s no secret that the vast majority of students will experiment with alcohol in during their college years. And mixing energy drinks and alcohol is nothing new when you consider another popular drink of choice: the infamous Jagerbomb. So why all the fuss over Four Loko? Simple – it is much stronger than any other similar drink before it, and some students think it’s a smart decision to do “Four Loko challenges” and binge drink this little concoction.

I know that everyone understands the dangers of binge drinking and I’m not here to lecture anyone, but really, let’s try to be intelligent. Throwing the equivelent of a six pack of beer, some caffeine, taurine, and wormwood (an active ingredient in absinthe) into a beer bong and chugging it doesn’t really seem like a smart life choice. Drinking mass quanitites of this drink is dangerous – no matter how strong you claim your tolerance may be.

Now, after reviewing the risks, I still believe that banning this is not the answer. People will continue to drink these types of alcohol no matter what laws are in place – so that’s why I’m asking, let’s return to common sense.

If you cannot handle yourself under the influence of alcohol, you should not be drinking it. If you think it is a remotely good decision to chug Four Loko as you can, you should not be drinking. It’s as simple as that.

I don’t feel like placing a ban on this drink will prevent stupid behavior from college students – rather than putting more laws in place, it’s time for us to crack down and enforce safe alcohol use and teach those students – once again – common sense.

This lethal concoction has been compared to drinking five cans of beer and a cup

of coffee by the FDA.

has been compared to drinking five cans of beer and a cup of coffee by the FDA, who has decided to crackdown on caffeinated alcoholic drinks.

Banning Four Loko is not going to stop students from figuring out how to combine energy drinks and alcohol on their own, likely in even more dangerous quantities and combinations. Perhaps this means that the issue at hand isn’t really the ban itself, but rather, the college culture that demands an intoxicated and wide-awake drunk experience.

Swimming splits meet against Beloit College

Cross Country ends fall sports season at Carroll

Soccer wraps up season with near upset

The Carroll University swim teams took 14 of the 22 events in their Nov. 12 meet against Beloit College.

The Lady Pioneers started the meet off on the right foot by winning the wom-en’s 200-yard medley relay with a time of 2:00.84.

The men followed immediately by winning their 200-yard medley relay in 1:47.83.

The next event win came from Dan-

iel Striev’s first place finish in the men’s 1650-yard freestyle after posting a time of 20:50.62.

Aleshia Garland’s 2:07.30 earned her a first place finish in the women’s 200-yard freestyle.

The men’s 50 yard freestyle was claimed by William Uttech after he post-ed a time of 23.03.

Jordan Barclay and Alex Schneider won the women’s and men’s 200-yard in-dividual medleys with respective times of 2:20.71 and 2:11.86.

Adrienne Salazar’s 1:09.77 finished in the 100-yard butterfly was good enough for first as well. Garland followed up with a win in the 100-yard freestyle, finishing in 59.59.

The men’s and women’s 100-yard backstrokes were both claimed by Car-roll with times of 58.77 and 1:06.73 by Schneider and Danielle Grzywa respec-tively.

Both teams also claimed the 100-yard breaststroke. Jordan Barclay finished the women’s with a time of 1:11.17 while

The Carroll University cross country teams ended their season Nov. 13 at the NCAA Division III Midwest Regionals in Rock Island, Ill.

Joe Pliner and Kaitlin Daugherty were the first Pioneers to finish for their respec-tive teams. Pliner finished the men’s race in 26:02.9, good enough for 105th out of the 275 runners at the meet. Daugherty, running her last collegiate race, finished in 43rd after finishing in 22:47.4.

Kevin Meyer was the next to finish on the men’s side, clocking in 26:40.1 for 137th.

Joe Zambetti and Mitchell Penninger finished next with times of 26:53.4 and 26:58.8 respectively.

The men’s scoring was rounded out by Chris Pynenberg who finished at the 27:33.2 mark.

Uttech finished for the men in 1:05.27. Striev finished the behind Uttech with a time of 1:14.84.

The Pioneers wrapped up the meet with a win in the men’s 200-yard freestyle relay. The team finished in 1:38.95

The Carroll men won their match-up 102-89 to rise to 2-2 on the season. The women, unfortunately, fell to 0-4 af-ter narrowly falling to Beloit 99-94.

Both teams return to action when they head to Grinnell College for a two day meet Dec. 3-4.

On the women’s side, Daugherty was followed by Jessica Laurin who clocked in at 23:23.1.

Marissa Mader rounded out the Lady Pioneer runners in the top 100 after fin-ishing 23:39.0.

Eden Frazier, posting a time of 24:01.9, and Jenny Garcia, with a time of 24:21.5, rounded out the scoring fin-ishes for Carroll with respective places of 114 and 126.

Overall, the men finished in 26th of the 39 teams while the women placed 26th out of a 38 team field.

Since none of the cross country run-ners qualified for the NCAA Division III Nationals, the season will end for the young team, but both teams can look for-ward to a strong 2011 campaign next year.

The Carroll University men’s soccer season officially ended Nov. 12 when the Pioneers fell 2-1 in an overtime loss to #5 UW-Oshkosh.

The first goal of the game came off the foot of the Titan’s Brandon Briones in the 36th minute. The shot was assisted by Andy Kohel’s corner kick.

The Pioneers would respond almost immediately, forcing UW-Oshkosh to sur-render just their fifth goal of the season with a 39th minute goal from Steve Koprowski. Adam Bruk’s free kick set the shot up.

The teams went into halftime tied 1-1. The Pioneers were outshot 7-2, but the Ti-tans also had six more fouls than Carroll.

The second half saw a strong show-ing from Pioneer net-minder Tomek Miaskowski who recorded five saves on the Titan’s seven shots to preserve the

second half shutout.Neither team would score again in

regulation, forcing the game into overtime.As the overtime minutes climbed, the

game seemed destined for at least a second overtime, but UW-Oshkosh’s Brian Mill-er set-up a Robby Giljohann goal with just 2:01 left to play to win the game.

The Midwest Conference named three Pioneer players to the first team All-Midwest Conference. Marc Hietpas earned a spot as a forward while Justin Ziegler and Scott Pease both earned spots as defenders.

Ziegler was also named the Midwest Conference Defensive Player of the Year. It is his second consecutive year winning the award.

With both seasons over, the teams will turn their attention to the fall 2011 season.

Women’s hoops starts season 1-1

Stu WeisStaff Writer

Taylor AlwardStaff Writer

Carroll University opened up its season in a big way by winning the Johnson Bank Tip-Off.

The tournament of four was hosted at Carroll thanks to sponsor Johnson Bank, specifi-cally vice president Jeff Cum-misford, a Carroll alum and member of the football Hall of Fame. The first two games were on Friday Nov. 19, with the championship and third place games on Saturday, Nov. 20.

Carroll’s guests were Con-cordia University, Dubuque University and Silver Lake College. In the first game of the tournament, Concordia squared off against Dubuque, which was won by Concordia in a shootout, 100-82. The second

game featured Carroll against Silver Lake and Carroll pulled out an 85-75 win. Saturday’s first matchup had Dubuque winning the third-place game, 89-73. Then the Pioneers beat Concordia in a tight match, 80-75.

Carroll, boasting a very young team took the tourna-ment as a good opportunity to get to learn more about their players. The Pioneers started sophomores Christian Shepley, Jake Bast, Taylor Patrick, Mitch Tordoff and freshman Adam Ganske and Andrew Nottling – all of whom got significant play-ing time. When all was said and done, fifteen players saw floor action for the Pioneers. It was, however, returning veterans ju-nior Kyle Jones and senior Paul Grosshuesch, who combined

for 66 of the 165 points the team scored, leading the way.

Carroll is very young and getting a couple of games in be-fore the conference schedule be-gins is always crucial. According to Head Coach Dave Buchanan it is even better to host.

Buchanan said it was “spe-cial...it’s nice to host and have alumni come back. Also have recruits come and community as well. A lot of positives [with the tournament].”

It is not just the coach who is fired up about the home tour-nament but the players as well. Senior guard Taylor Jannsen also noted how it is important to begin at home with so many fresh faces and youth.

Hosting a tournament brings with it the advantages of home court with the disadvan-

tage of external pressures to win in front of the home fans. The Pioneers aren’t crumbling under the pressure, noted Jannsen. In-stead, he felt that this was mere-ly a chance to see where the team was at. Buchanan agreed, feeling that the pressure Carroll faces is self-imposed to achieve a high level of play.

Carroll is guaranteed to host again next year as Johnson Bank has already committed to sponsoring in 2011 with Mari-an University, Carthage College and Martin Luther College slat-ed to attend. Buchanan hopes that the event will continue for years to come and that they can start every year at home the weekend before Thanksgiving to give students a chance to see the team. If this continues, he said, “it can be a great thing.”

Two early deficits forced the Carroll women’s basketball team to make two second half come-backs. The Pioneers started the season 1-1 after the first come-back was successful, but the sec-ond game saw an overtime loss in the home-opener.

Carroll started the season visiting the Lakeland College Muskies and came away with a 69-62 victory. The Pioneers had to overcome a bad start of-fensively and a 15-point defi-cit to get the win. Carroll shot 45 percent from the field in the first half but with nine minutes left in the half found themselves down by 15 to Lakeland. The Pioneers chipped away at the

lead being only down by seven at the half even though they al-lowed the Muskies to shoot 53 percent from the field in the first half.

Carroll locked down on de-fense in the second half and forced Lakeland into shooting 32 percent in the second half. The Pioneers offense took ad-vantage and shot 59 percent in the second half. Carroll out-scored Lakeland by 14 in the second half on route to the win.

The Pioneers were lead by Janelle Groer and Lyndsey See-wald, both earning 23 points. If there were any flaws for the Pi-oneers, it was free throw shoot-ing and ball control. Carroll had a huge advantage from the free throw line shooting 33 free

throws compared to just 10 for Lakeland but only made 22 of them. Carroll also had 17 turn-overs but got help from Lake-land who committed 24.

In game two of the season Carroll hosted the Millikin Uni-versity Big Blue, falling 88-82 in overtime. The Pioneers again found themselves down at the half with Millikin leading by six.

Carroll made the comeback again, this time to force overtime against the Big Blue but Millikin used the free throw line to their advantage in overtime to get the win. Millikin went 12-16 from the stripe in the extra period to win the final period by six.

After owning the free throw line against Lakeland, Carroll was outshot from the line by 16

with Millikin taking 36 to Car-roll’s 20. Again Carroll strug-gled from the line shooting 13-20.

Carroll ended up winning most of the statistical catego-ries against Millikin shooting 42 percent to Millikin’s 40 percent and also winning the turnover battle 24-16.

Again Lyndsey Seewald shined for the Pioneers scoring 33 points including shooting 4-5 from behind the three point line.

The Pioneers play next at UW-Stout against UW-Osh-kosh and UW-Stout on Saturday and Sunday before returning for a five game home stand starting Friday, Dec. 3 against Lake For-est College with tip-off at 5 p.m.
