College, Waukesha react to crises with gatherings, donations BY
AARON BECKER Staff Writer
As most Americans awoke to their normal routines Tuesday, Sept. 11, a series of tragedies were unfolding in dramatic fashion on the nationÕs east coast. Glued to their televisions, American citizens watched as thousands of lives were lost after two airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center in Manhattan, sending both towers to the ground. The same morning, a third airplane smashed into the Pentagon. For nearly a week, the country was all but shut down. Schools and colleges were closed. National monuments and tall buildings were evacuated. All air traffic was ordered to land and the Mexican and Canadian borders were sealed. Responding to the tragedies, numer-
ous efforts have kick-started within the Carroll College community, seeking to raise money for the American Red Cross, donate blood for the injured and begin the collective healing process. On campus and across the nation, flags flew at half-staff as more than 250 people from the college and the Waukesha area gathered in Shattuck Auditorium the evening of Sept. 11 to pray, share thoughts and call for tranquility. Making appearances were a few prominent members of the community, including Waukesha Mayor Carol Lombardi and Waukesha County Executive Dan Finley. ÒWeÕre here this evening to pray for the victims, their families, the workers and our country,Ó Finley said. The mayor said she believes the tragedies will not have a negative effect on Photo by Andy Farrell

Some of us believe that one test score couldnÕt possibly measure all of the intelligence that one individual possesses. Others, however, feel that that score defines them for the rest of their lives whether or not they did well. What exactly is considered a good score on a college entrance exam? Most students look to other classmates to make comparisons when the results came back. Some students regard their scores as good or bad depending on whether they grant them acceptance to their school of choice. Still, others look to the average scores of students their age in the United States as a whole. Before we get any further, letÕs discuss exactly what college entrance exams measure, since we surely
Arts & Entertainment
know what they are by now, and which most students here at Carroll College are familiar with. Most students at Carroll College took the ACT (American College Testing) test. The other college entrance exam is known as the SAT (Standard Achievement Test). WeÕll focus solely on the ACT however since this is the test preferred by most Midwestern colleges and universities. The ACT assessment is a curriculum-based achievement test that measures students on their cumulative knowledge in school. The test measures, in particular, skills that students have in four academic areas- English, Reading Comprehension, Mathematics and Science Reasoning. The ACT is scored on a scale of 1 to 36, with 36 being the highest possible score. ACT scores are See ACT Page 2

He is increasingly active as a choral clinician and adjudicator, working with musicians at the junior high, high school, college, and community levels. Douma says, ÒIÕm pleased to be here and I look forward to working with our students to keep that tradition alive and move it in new directions. This year, in addition to our annual choral festival, homecoming concert, and Christmas concert, the choir will embark on a national tour to New Orleans during spring break.Ó
used to place incoming freshmen into classes in which they are prepared to do well. This is one of the most important goals of the ACT. Lack of preparedness for college-level work is probably the biggest reasons that freshmen leave school before their second year. Now, if you think back to your senior year in high school when you were busy filling out college applications you might remember that for Carroll, the applicant must have scored at least a 21 on the ACT to be accepted. Rightfully so, the average ACT score of the incoming freshmen class was 23.4. This is the same average as last yearÕs incoming freshmen, according to James Wiseman, Carroll CollegeÕs Vice President. So, moving on we can tell that students at Carroll College scored a little higher than the stateÕs average which was 22.2 as listed in the 2001 ACT National and State Scores. WisconsinÕs average placed us at fourth in the nation tied with New York and Vermont. Finally, when we look at the larger scale of things, Carroll students scored 2.4 points higher than the national average, 21.0. According to the National Press Release from the ACT Newsroom, Òthe average national ACT composite score held steady at 21.0 for the fifth straight yearÉresults indicate that nearly half of college-bound students have scores
within the range of those typically required for admission to most selective or highly selective colleges. At the same time, 18 percent - nearly one in five have scores that indicate they are not ready for college-level coursework.Ó This score hasnÕt declined in 12 years even though the number of students taking the test has grown dramatically-nearly 30% during the past 12 years. ÒWe are likely adding students from across a wider academic range than in pervious years, including some students who might not have considered going to college in the past. In this light, the fact that the average ACT score has either grown or stayed steady over the past decade is quite positive,Ó said ACT President Richard L. Ferguson. The state with the highest score is Oregon at 22.6. Washington came in second with a 22.4 while New Hampshire scored third with a 22.3. New York, Vermont and Wisconsin tied at fourth in the nation with an average of 22.2. Minnesota scored an average 22.1 placing it at fifth in nation. States with the lowest scores are South Carolina (19.3), Mississippi (18.5) and Washington D.C. (17.4).

the city of Waukesha, and they will actually Òunite the community as never before.Ó ÒCommunity is where safety is,Ó Lombardi said, Òand we are that community.Ó During the gathering, the people in attendance were given an opportunity to share thoughts or prayers into a microphone. Numerous Carroll students and Waukesha residents took part. ÒThe wake-up call is that you donÕt know how much longer you have on this earthÉthe roof could collapse right now,Ó one man said. CarrollÕs Student Senate President, Brad Nehrbass, also spoke, asking the crowd to donate blood and help wherever possible. ÒThis is a time of unity, this is a time of togetherness, and IÕm asking the students of Carroll College to come together in unity,Ó Nehrbass said. ÒBe thankful for what you have, but still always remember and pray for the people who are going through this right now.Ó The Rev. Curt Liebl of the River of Life Bible Church said, after reading aloud the 23rd Bible psalm, ÒAs we offer these prayers, we know that the Lord is our shepherd.Ó Other speakers took a different approach, calling for national strength and patriotism. ÒThe more we see the [American] flag, the more we are reminded of three of the
most important colors that bring us together,Ó Chad VanDierendonck proclaimed. ÒWe are red, we are white and we are blueÉour colors can never be burned down and our system provides swift and accurate justice. And our system cannot be destroyed.Ó College Chaplain Bill Humphreys shared a few words as well. He encouraged the crowd not to wish for drastic American retaliation. ÒEvil for evil doesnÕt get us ahead,Ó Humphreys said. ÒIt might seem to get us even, but it doesnÕt get us ahead.Ó Many other open-campus events took place in the days following the tragedy. These included a student gathering in the South Bergstrom lounge Wednesday, an open forum presented by the Politics and History Departments Thursday, a grief session at the Walter Young Center Thursday, a remembrance service in the Stackner Ballroom Friday afternoon and a candlelight vigil on Main Lawn Friday evening. Throughout the week, there were numerous examples of Carroll students engaging in spontaneous relief efforts. Seniors Jen Wilcox, Tony Waznonis and Sarah Zeirke organized Òstorm the dormÓ Wednesday night, during which they and nine other students went to every Carroll dormitory and apartment, asking for donations. According to Wilcox, the students accumulated $1,518, all of which was donated to the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.
ÒWe wanted to get the Carroll community involved,Ó Waznonis said. Wilcox said she, Waznonis and Zeirke had planned to collect crowd donations at the Carroll football game Sept. 15, but the game was cancelled along with all other Midwest Conference athletic events that weekend. Donations boxes were placed at the Campus Center Information Desk and the Student Development Office. Acquired funds will be donated to the Red Cross as well, Wilcox said. Members of CarrollÕs Circle K chapter went door-to-door throughout Waukesha Wednesday, collecting donations for the Red Cross. They collected more than $300, Treasurer Sara Nackers said. The organization then met Sunday night to brainstorm other fund raising ideas. When the tragedy struck, local Red Cross workers swung into action, setting up a blood donation clinic at the Waukesha Expo Center. The college and Waukesha communities responded in such numbers that, just two days later, the clinic was closed due to a blood surplus. ÒAs of today, over 1,300 units of blood have been taken from our donors,Ó Sue Hetzel, a Red Cross worker, said Thursday. The clinic is expected to reopen when more blood becomes necessary. Rumors of a college-sponsored trip to the clinic were not confirmed as of press time.

The active response to the Sept. 11 events has been overwhelming, but what are people saying?

Terrorist talk: the rhetoric following the disaster sor Dr. Lelan McLemore responded. He continued, saying it is something that we expect, but when it happens, it is unbelievable. People are expressing confusion at the difficulty of comprehending such acts. "I would say the initial reaction was one of surprise, shock, horror, and sort of blood-lusting let's go get 'em," junior Jesse Gant said. People are experiencing fear and anger about how the country will respond to the horrific acts of terrorism. No one seems to be quite sure how and when the situation will be resolved. What people are sure of is that things have changed forever. "You guys all came of age two days ago," Director of the Civil War Institute Lance Herdegen said at last Thursday's

forum, ÒAttack on America.Ó The younger generation also have come together. More than 200 people attended the candle light vigil on Main lawn last Friday. People sat on their porches or stood out by the road, candles and flags in hand, in remembrance of everyone affected. Some used the vigil for peace. Hartzog feels the answer is peaceful resolution, or using "the least violence possible." Others saw it as a sign of unity, which comes more in times of trial. Dr. McLemore said it "reminds us of what we have in common," in reference to trying times. He compared society to a family, quarreling at times, but uniting when threatened by an outsider. People are talking about many things. What the topic of discussion will be until the government makes a decision
How does a Thermos know if the drink should be hot or cold? If you mixed vodka with orange juice and milk of magnesia, would you get a Phillips Screwdriver?

is the outcome. "I don't think you can really pinpoint who did this, or, if we can, if you kill one guy, you're just going to make a martyr," Gant continued, "So it's kind of a losing situation. I guess nobody really wins."

EDITORIALS Letter to the Editor:
New Perspective starts new year
April 30, 2001
BY NATHAN TRITT Editor-in-Chief
Dear Editors of The New Perspective, I would like to thank you for filling the final paper of my junior year with some high-quality, ÒnewsworthyÓ articles. My favorite features of this issue were the two pages of Josh and Anna complaining about the hell that I am Òdoomed to suffer throughÓ for the next year and a half. Honestly, you speak of having brought The New Perspective to new heights in the last year, but in the minds of many students, you have done nothing but reach new lows. We may be a small campus, yes, but that does not mean nothing happens here. Look around you. Campus is constantly abuzz with ÒnewsworthyÓ items. For many of us, we would like to here about the events that take place in the PIT or in Shattuck that we do not have time to attend. If we wanted to know about what was going on in the City of Waukesha, the State of Wisconsin, the United States, or the World, we would pick up a copy of The Waukesha Freeman the FREE Journal Sentinel, or turn on the world news at 5:30 p.m. each night. We read The New Perspective to find out what is happening in our Carroll Community, but more often than not this year, we found ourselves reading numerous pages of the editorÕs complaints or looking at pictures that are so poorly taken/printed we could not even see who/what was in them. The New Perspective is the newspaper of the Carroll Community. Why do we not put stories in it about the Carroll Community instead of retelling the national and global events that we can get from the other FREE, professional newspapers on campus? Why does The New Perspective not feature articles about the Òrumor-filledÓ renovations of Main Hall and Van Male instead of complaining about the current quality of the buildings? But then again, if the paper were to talk of CarrollÕs positive changes and improvements, the editors would not have anything about which to complain (I mean write). What about the push to make Carroll a university instead of a college? What about the debates going on around campus, such as the current debate over a Student Senate Diversity Committee? Obviously, these issues, which affect all Carroll students, are not as important as the ÒnewsworthyÓ complaints and insults of The New Perspective editors. Maybe if The New Perspective would stop attacking Carroll, minorities, and student organizations (especially those ridiculously stupid ones that do more to better Carroll than The New Perspective ever has), then it would actually see those heights that Anna claims to see. The New Perspective has great potential. I hope that once the Òprofessional,Ó ÒstandardizedÓ drivers on Òthe road from hellÓ graduate, it will become the Carroll newspaper that it claims to and, we know, it can be. Sincerely, Joshua Beck
Readers of the New Perspective, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome all of you to this brand new school year at Carroll College. As Editor-in-Chief of your student newspaper, I hope that the New Perspective can fully live up to your expectations in the year to come. If you take a look at the staff listing for this issue, youÕll notice a few returning editors and writers, but many more new names. This staff is, for the most part, very young and I hope that that can only mean a fresh start for the New Perspective. If you are a returning student to Carroll, you will probably notice a few changes and additions to the newspaper this year. To begin with, there will be more columns included in the paper, including some favorites from past years. We bring back the current favorites, such as the Horoscopes, Just Think, Bible Studies 101, and Live from the Pio Dome. The Campus Safety Report makes its return this year to keep us all up to date on the Crime Beat here at Carroll. Sarah SchleicherÕs Diversity Column makes its debut this year to cover a topic that seemed to be popular in many aspects last year. More columns coming in future issues include a Person on the Street quote worthy column and the return of the Greek Corner and the Carroll Republicans and Democrats Issues Forum.
We will also be bringing back a column from a few years ago called Personal Peaks in which you will be able to pay a very minimal fee and print birthday wishes or other messages to your friends in the newspaper. Look for advertisements around campus and in future issues. In addition to the new and returning columns in this yearÕs New Perspective, look for more coverage of campus related news stories or campus event coverage. We would like to bring this paper back to the Carroll community where it belongs and give the campus something to read that you canÕt find in the Freeman or the Journal-Sentinel. I hope that you as students and faculty in the Carroll Community will look forward to reading the New Perspective when it comes out every two weeks and if anyone has concerns or ideas, please donÕt hesitate to let us know. Email us at perspect@cc.edu. As an addendum to this welcome, I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the entire campus. While the past week and a half has been a shock to everyone, I have never seen any group of people unite in prayer, love, and hope as I have seen in these first weeks at Carroll College. While this tragedy brings unity to the entire nation, I could never have imagined what I have seen here at Carroll, from the many who attended the prayer service at Shattuck Tuesday to the more than 200 people that joined as one to light candles and pray Friday night on the Main lawn. God Bless Carroll College and God Bless America!
We alone are the healers: a reaction to the terrorism BY KENNETH KAMINSKI Special to The New Perspective
It feels, for one thing, as though something is fundamentally wrong. Something lurks. In YeatÕs poem "The Second Coming," he describes a time in which the center cannot hold. Our center isnÕt holding. The center isnÕt there. ~ Marianne Williamson
Today, Tuesday September 11th, 2001, my life will be forever changed So will yours. I am writing this just ten hours after the grisly events took place in New York City and Washington. I feel numbed by shock. I have not yet seen video of these awful occurrences, and I am not sure I want to. As I tried to go about my workday, my heart, my soul and my mind were on our nation, our society and our world. It was difficult to stay strong when you realize
that thousands of innocent lives have been lost, and millions more will be affected. When I first heard about the terrorist attack on the World Trade Centers, my stomach churned and my eyes began to water. When this parent said a commercial airline slammed into the buildings, I immediately ascertained that it was a terrorist act. Why would a skilled pilot slam his or her aircraft into a crowded building, especially one in the busiest city in the world? I knew that this was an execution of evil.
Word quickly spread through our workplace. As teachers rushed to their classroom radios, I quietly slipped into the chapel. I sat in a pew and I cried. I prayed to God that He would bless our world. It was tough to do that. My head was spinning, and I had to get back to the kids. I did not say anything to my group of three-year-olds. I figured that at their age they could never understand or comprehend something so tragic. I came to realize See Reaction Page 11

A new school year dawns as Carroll College welcomes a new crop of freshmen looking forward to their first semester and all the opportunities it will bring. Curious to know more about the new faces around campus, the New Perspective took time out to speak to a couple freshmen and find out just who they are, why theyÕre here, and where theyÕre going. Kiersten Regelin is a freshman from
the small town of Marengo (IL), who came to Carroll because Òthe course was just screaming my nameÓ. Majoring in Theater and Organizational Leadership, Kiersten was responsible, in her senior year of high school, for founding a nonprofit organization called ACT (Appreciating ChildrenÕs Theater) in her home town. While others her age would have been busy enough grappling with the finer points of Calculus, Kiersten and her best friend ran three theater sessions a year, intended to promote an interest in theater for grades three to eight, and funded the group entirely from voluntary donations.

Virgo August 23 - September 24 Today is a great day, even if it started at lunchtime.
Aries March 21-April 20 A quick stop in the MDR will lead to a longer stop elsewhere. Ring my hotline to find out more on 524-7387.
Libra September 24-October 23 You will have no new messages in your voice mail this evening, but that is no reason to call ITS.
Taurus April 21-May 21 Your attempts to repel mosquitoes through song will backfire.
Scorpio October 24-November 22 Your cash flow is so impressive that you will be invited as a special guest to a business seminar on money management. Though you will not get paid, there will be a complimentary buffet. Sagittarius November 23-December 21 News that your lucky number this week is 69 will lead to confusion at the lottery outlet. Capricorn December 22-January 20 You should avoid discussing the subject of turquoise beavers with safety officers this week. ItÕs for the best. Aquarius January 21-February 19 Despite your resolve to stay away from Kilgour, you keep waking up there.
Gemini May 22-June 21 You will invent a new morning exercise routine called Ôjogging in bedÕ whereby the first thing you do in the morning is lie down, look exhausted and pant, just like a jogger back from their run. Though itÕs a precise exercise routine that should only be practiced under the guidance of an experienced instructor, no one seems willing to climb into your bed to learn. Cancer June 22-July 22 The word ÔtoshÕ will stick in your head all day for no apparent reason. Your friends will ask you what it means when you keep using it, but you will not be entirely sure. Leo July 23-August 22 You count the days of the week, and much to your horror, discover there is one missing.
N o t content with just setting up and running ACT, Kiersten is also involved in HOBY (the Hugh OÕBrian Y o u t h Leadership), which is not Kiersten Regelin some Òsissy leadership class, but really wild and funÓ. HOBY promotes leadership through volunteerism, meaning that Kiersten spends some 400 hours a year doing voluntary work of one kind and another. Now in college, Kiersten seems to have no intention of calming down. With her eye on numerous student organizations such as Circle K and with an upcoming internship with ÒFree the ChildrenÓ in Toronto, Kiersten is very happy to be here and has no regrets. Another freshman student, Bill Armstrong, has a different story to tell. Looking for a future that would be exciting, challenging and would take him all over the world, Bill was looking forward to a career in the US Navy. After applying to the US Naval Academy and receiv-

Although William Armstrong the Navy offers waivers for eyesight problems, color-blindness is not a waivable condition. So, instead, Bill has found himself at Carroll where he hopes to be able to explore new avenues of opportunity. An interest in classical archeology has been sparked by an introduction class he took at his home in Minnesota. He is also interested in forming a string quartet and looking for a cello player. Asked if he was sad about the Navy, he calmly replied ÒMaybe it wasnÕt supposed to work out.Ó As for Carroll, he describes it as Ònot very bigÓ. Whereas at larger establishments you can find yourself using your student id number more than your name, Carroll is Òvery personalÓ.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT Bible Studies 101: on beginning again with Ruth and Naomi BY REV. WILLIAM HUMPHREYS Special to The New Perspective As the new school year gets underway, and The New Perspective warms up the presses for a new round of our favorite newspaper, IÕm thinking ÒtransitionÓ. SummerÕs activities mostly give way to new patterns of behavior. Working hard to earn some money for leisure and college tuition, and playing hard with little thought for tomorrow except to get up and get to work all over again, now give way to class schedules, homework, practicing for the sports arena and concert hall, and playing hard with lots of thought about tomorrow. Even if weÕre trying hard not to think about it. WeÕre in transition city! Speaking of transitions, consider for a couple of minutes if you will, the story of Ruth, coming right out of the Bible in a book by the same name. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, RUTH! It just so happens that Ruth and her sister, Orpah, have very similar experiences with the deaths of their husbands, Mahlon and Chilion These guys were brothers; both were sons of Naomi and Elimelech. That leaves Ruth and Orpah with the same mother-in-law, Naomi. Ironically, Naomi, too, had lost her husband, Elimelech, so now we have the makings of a good movie; maybe Harpo Productions would be interested (thatÕs a reference to Oprah Winfrey, whose name is almost the same as RuthÕs sister!). Anyway, as was the custom, since Ruth and Orpah were foreigners, from Moab, they were free, upon the death of their husbands, to return to their homes, to their lands, to their families, and to their traditions, cultures, and religion, all of which they had yielded in order to marry NaomiÕs boys. It would have been the custom for other brothers in the family to take Ruth and Orpah as their wives, and with them to bear offspring on behalf of the deceased brothers. But in this story, there are no more brothers. And with ElimelechÕs death, thereÕs little chance that Naomi will have any more sons, and, she notes, even if she did, Ruth and Orpah would not likely wait around for the new crop to mature and make them their wives. (chapter 1, verses 11 and following) So, Naomi, kind and sensitive mother-in-law as she was, explicitly permits Ruth and Orpah to leave her (Naomi) and return to their homes as Moabites. Verse 14: ÒOrpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.Ó
In her clinging, we hear Ruth: ÒDo not press me to leave you or to turn back from following you! Where you go, I will go; where you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God. Where you die, I will die- there will I be buried.Ó WOW! This sign of commitment has all the makings of some great folk song, maybe even Country and Western. Whew! Off go Naomi and Ruth to Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest, just in time to be there when Boaz comes on the scene. Now Boaz is a prominent rich man (ch.2v.1) with fields to harvest and servants to do the work. HeÕs also a relative of the late Elimelech. When he hears how kind and helpful Ruth has been to Naomi, Boaz takes a liking to Ruth. And Ruth takes a liking to Boaz. With NaomiÕs encouragement, Ruth sneaks into BoazÕ presence while heÕs asleep, on the chance that he might discover her and perform the duties of her late husband (that is a manner of speaking about sex without calling it that). But Boaz resists the temptation, knowing that another kinsman lives in the town, and such a duty really would fall to the other guy. Being quite clear about that with Ruth, Boaz promises Ruth that if the other kinsman chooses not to take her as his wife, then Boaz will be pleased to do so himself. Well, wouldnÕt you know it! The other guy declines the kind offer, and yields to Boaz all the property of Elimelech and Chilion and Mahlon, and Ruth, too! The bad news here is that Ruth and most women are treated as little more than property. The good news is that God seems to be behind it all, Òso Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife.Ó (4:13) They conceived and bore Obed, of whom grandmother Naomi was most proud. Obed became the father of Jesse, the father of David. Thus Ruth is the great-grandmother of David. Thus Ruth is mentioned in the New Testament genealogies of Jesus. The transitions made in the story of Ruth are of Biblical proportion! The transitions we make into the new semester at Carroll College may seem nearly as large. As summer becomes a new school year, as heat and humidity give up some of their seasonal grip, as schedules change and friendships mature, may we be informed, even inspired, by the ongoing commitments Ruth demonstrated for the new seasons in her life. She left the old behind to take on the new with fortitude and gusto, and great was the reward for her trusting faithfulness!
An idiotÕs guide to diversity BY
SARAH SCHLEICHER News Editor
Welcome to the inaugural editorial of The New PerspectiveÕs diversity column. So, many editorials, letters to the editor and specials to the paper appeared last year that it may have seemed as though such a column already existed. ItÕs now time to take the passion with which those articles were written, and bring ÒdiversityÓ to the Carroll community biweekly. Throughout the past year, many people have complained that not enough has been done on our campus to promote diversity, that people are talking instead of acting. While these written words are a form of conversation, hopefully they will stir people to act. With this column will appear upcoming events from the Office of Cultural Diversity. Go to them. Get off your duff, stop watching the newly-installed cable in the dorms and go to a dance, a forum, a speaker, a presentation, something! I guarantee you will have an experience you havenÕt had before (that is, if you havenÕt done these things before). Instead of giving a spiel about how diversity affects everyone, I urge you to look around yourself. Who sits next to you as you read this? They must be different than you in some way or another. I then suggest that, rather than erase that difference by saying, ÒweÕre all alike inside,Ó embrace it. Learn about your neighbor. Warning:
do not get to know someone for selfish reasons like, ÒOh, I had a project in my Cultural Anthropology class to learn about another ethnicity.Ó This will only irritate people of various backgrounds who feel they are being used, and who feel the average Carroll student finds them a mere convenience. This already has occurred on our small campus, leaving the person of ÒdifferenceÓ hurt, confused or even belligerent. Attempt to create a real relationship. Challenge yourself to leave your comfort zone. When a classmate from India or even from downtown Milwaukee shares a detail of her life, take the initiative, however frightened you may be of the outcome. She will be glad, maybe even surprised, that you did. These are probably the most obvious ways to become Òdiversified.Ó At this point in the semester, IÕm not trying to completely alienate anyone by suggesting you participate in the sacred rituals of indigenous peoples, although learning about them is eye opening to say the least. Throughout the semester, it is possible that I will raise more questions than provide clear answers. Well, the subject of diversity is not clear. I predict that, at the end of it all, everyone will be even more confused, but, in classic oxymoron fashion, understand more. Finally, I invite anyone with concerns to express, comments to make or questions to ask to e-mail me at sschleic@cc.edu. Better yet, participate in an activity, educate yourself about the issue or organize your own movement.

New shows, old shows, stay shows, go shows BY
AMANDA JOHNSON Features Editor
While fall brings the tidings of lower temperatures and the cold winds of winter, television programmers hope to keep our toes warm this season with an explosive new line up. And while the days etch closer to premiere week, we have to wonder how many new shows will explode in fireworks and how many will go up in flames? NBC looks forward to introducing a new comedy, Scrubs, piloting about a self-assured medical internÕs first day on the job. Main Character, J.D. Dorian (Zach Braff ), goes through his first shift thinking heÕs all that, but soon realizes his job will be as hard as gaining respect from his fellow peers. The program hopes to counter the more serious drama, ER, while matching the comedic values of Friends and Will & Grace. Scrubs will premiere Sept. 25 at 9:30 p.m. NBC will also premiere a new drama, Crossing Jordan, which T.V. Guide calls, ÒErin Brockovich in QuincyÕs lab coat.Ó Created by Tim Kring (NBCÕs Providence), Crossing Jordan stars ex-Law & Order actor Jill Hennessy as Jordan Cavanaugh, a medical examiner who fights for the victim to dig to the bottom of the crime. Crossing Jordan will compete mostly with CBSÕs returning Family Law on Monday nights, starting Sept. 17 at 9:00 p.m. Some stations have brought some big screen names to their weeknight line up. CBS welcomes Richard Dreyfuss, (Mr. HollandÕs Opus) to star in The Education of Max Bickford, a show about a history professor who finds himself at a crossroads when he is passed up for a promotion, his best male friend returns from a vacation as a woman, and his daughter rebels as a rocker leaving Bickford, to start reevaluating his life. FOX also has brought actor Kiefer Sutherland to the little screen to star in their new Tuesday line up, Twenty-Four, about Jack Bauer, (Sutherland) who has been elected to save the country and his family every week from terrorist and governmental threats. The show promises to keep you on your toes and keep Bauer, ÒÉon the hot seat of hot seats. Save the country, save your family. HeÕs not going to get much sleep,Ó according
to executive producer Robert Cochran in T.V. Guide. This fall will also bring back some familiar faces. ABC welcomes SeinfeldÕs Jason Alexander as Bob Patterson, motivational speaker extraordinaire. While Patterson claims to know all the secrets to self-help he could use his own motivational speaker to help him. Hopefully Alexander will have better luck than his old pal Michael Richards whose gumshoe comedy, The Michael Richards Show barely lasted the night it aired. CBS also brings on Ellen DeGeneres, sharing the same first name with her character in what aspires to be a simple, funny show. The Ellen Show, centers around a sweet hometown where DeGeneres, becomes the guidance counselor of the local high school. Of course with all the new shows popping up this season, many are just excited to see the old shows returning. Many shows left off with grasping cliffhangers, demanding us to know what was going to happen. NBCÕs Friends made an assuming end leaving us to think Rachel, (Jennifer Aniston) is the one keeping a secret pregnancy, and the next few weeks might find Dr. Mark Green, (Anthony Edwards) of ER a murderer. The WB left us with a dead Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but we know the UPN will raise her up againÉor at least some are hoping so. The UPN has also picked up WBÕs dropped Roswell, allowing the aliens to continue their stay with us. With all the returning and with all the new shows it obvious that only a few bright lights will make it through the tunnel. There have been a few surprises in the last few years. Shows that had potential were dropped and shows that seemed to be fading got an upgrade. This season each new show seems to promise a new spin and hopefully a better storyline and acting crew than previous protŽgŽes. Nonetheless, fires will burn this fall, some will last through winter seasons to come, and others will be ashes in the wind. SPRING BREAK INSANITY!

that even at my age I could not even understand or comprehend something so tragic. I attempted to give the kids snack, do calendar, weather, and story time. I took them outside on a lovely, warm morning, a blue sky overhead, dewy grass underfoot. I blew bubbles, and the kids giggled and raced after them with delight. But I wasnÕt really there, you see. I was in New York City and Washington, not Sussex, Wisconsin. At noon, I left to go to go to school. I listened to WTMJ radio in the car. Tears welled in my eyes as I listened to the accounts of this tragedy. I got to school and found my professor. She informed me that class was cancelled. We talked for awhile about the morningÕs events, and the implications they had on us all. My professor said our world will never be the same. Her statement sent shivers up my spine. I left school and went to the blood center in Waukesha to donate. I had to do something. Anything. Even if my blood would not reach those in the disaster areas, at least it would be helping somebody. I was awestruck to find traffic tied up outside the blood center. There was a three hour wait to donate! Although I did not stay, there was a satisfaction that so many people stepped out of their tiny boxes to reach out to others in need. Now, as I sit at the library writing this, I am still in shock. Anyone who has an ounce of compassion in their heart must be devastated by todayÕs malevolence. On a local level, schools closed early, malls closed, businesses shut down. Rightfully so. Today we should all be stopping what we are doing. We should look up from our computer screens, our text books and our cell phones and gaze skyward. We should be asking, "Why?" Why, why, why, why, why? We should be asking a lot of questions. Not just "Who is responsible for this?" and "How do we seek revenge?" Rather, "What kind of world have we created that would allow for this kind of barbarism?" and "How do we change this world so that millions of other people wonÕt suffer in the future?" But, you see, we are too caught up
in our own little worlds, the "daily grind" as we call it, that we donÕt have the time to ask all the pertinent Big Questions. And so I pose this question: Is now a good time? Countless people died Sept. 11. Countless more will be forever changed. We must do something and we must do it NOW. LetÕs not make more guns, recruit more troops, and build more bombs. Instead letÕs donate blood. LetÕs donate our time. LetÕs donate our love. There are countless ways we can give of ourselves. There are countless ways we can extend a hand. There are countless ways to make this world a peaceful, joyous place. I am not saying we should all join hands and sing "Kumbaya." I am not saying we should all send each other Hallmark cards. What I am suggesting ~ whenever an opportunity arises ~ is to reach out to others in need with care and compassion. What I am suggesting is that we look outside ourselves and see our world as a place that needs to be healed, and that we alone are the healers. God ~ if you believe in a Higher Power ~ placed us on this planet in order for us to create an "earth as it is in heaven." Judging from the tragic events, are we accomplishing that? We are all personally responsible for how this world evolves. It is up to all of us whether or not our world evolves into a utopia, or an Armageddon. We experienced an Armageddon Sept. 11. For the love of God and all of His creatures, let us not allow for this to continue. The answer is NOT in weapons of mass destruction or world war. The answer lies within our hearts, our souls, and it can be extracted at any given moment. The answer is love. Give it freely, give it often, and I assure you, no cowardly terrorist could ever do you harm. Go with the strength you have/Go simply, lightly, gently,/ in search of Love./And the Spirit go with you. ~ Kiamu Cawidrone
Wahlberg just keeps rocking BY TABITHA MENNING Arts & Entertainment Editor Rock Star Rated R for language, sex, & drug content As cool as this movie was, I donÕt recommend it for kiddies. There is a lot of sex, drugs and rock Ôn roll in addition to some vulgar language. Devoted fan, Mark Wahlberg, known as Chris Cole in this flick, has a wondrous voice, which can be heard in his bar-level band. His band makes trib-
ute to a more well-known Ô80s heavy metal group called Steel Dragon. Cole gets his big break when the lead singer for Steel Dragon gets kicked out and Cole is elected to take his place. Cole is now in the center of the drugs and wild orgies that rock Ôn roll can offer. If youÕre like me, and thoroughly enjoyed WahlbergÕs role in Boogie Nights, then youÕll love this movie. Note of warning to all men, this could almost be considered a romantic comedy but the sex scenes will most likely keep you interested anyway, not to mention that Jennifer Aniston plays WahlbergÕs girlfriend in this flick.

SPORTS Message to the NFL: give the officials what they deserve! LI V E FR O M T H E P I O D O M E! BY
NATHAN BRUNNER Sports Editor
Live from the Pio Dome is an editorial column written by Nathan Brunner to express his various opinions about topics in the world of sports. Any comment relating to Live From the Pio Dome can be voiced via email to nbrunner@carroll1.cc.edu Well, the summer is over and we are back in school for another year. This year, as with every year, another great event has taken place at the conclusion of summer. What might this great, amazing and unbelievable event be, you ask? It is none other than the start of the NFL football season, the greatest time of the year. Many people across the country counted down the days until the first Sunday, when they could sit back and watch football for nine straight hours. I was one of them. Even during this great time, there is something terribly wrong with the start of the season. Who are those men in stripes out on the field? Oh, thatÕs right - I forgot - theyÕre replacement officials. And, why are they out there? The only reason is because the NFL has their heads so far up their butts that they canÕt see a thing and realize they are not giving the regular officials what they deserve. The whole situation started when the officialsÕ contract ran out. Ever since, the
two sides have been disputing over pay raises. The officials want a higher compensation than the NFL is offering. For example, the NFL is offering $67,671 for a fifth-year official and the officials want $95,000 a year for a fifth-year official. I believe the officials deserve every bit of money they are asking for. They deserve even more than that. Football officials have an extremely tough job. How do I know this, you ask? Well, I happen to personally know a college level football official. I have seen many games through the eyes of the official. A football official works just as hard, if not harder, than his or her counterpart in other sports. A football official is constantly running up and down the field. This requires him to be in top physical shape. Also, they are at times under constant verbal attacks from the coaches and players. This does not happen nearly as much in other sports. In most other sports, the coaches are not right on top of the officials like in football. Officials show amazing self-control by concentrating on the game and not reacting to abusive coaches. Football officials are the best officials of any sport. They watch a fast-paced game, and they make the correct call better than 99 percent of the time. It is about time the NFL realizes the greatness of the officials it employs. These officials are out there busting their butts every weekend during the season. The NFL needs to wake up and reach inside its pockets, which are bulging with money, and pay the officials what they deserve.

Voris & Bretzmann coaching dynasties begin at Carroll BY
PHILLIP MINEFF Staff Writer
Carroll College rang in the beginning of two new regimes for Pioneer athletics. Head football coach Jeff Voris and womenÕs head soccer coach Jason Bretzmann are both new to Carroll and have bright goals. Both of these men are looking to lead their respective Pioneer squad into the playoffs. Bretzmann has the honor of trying
to bring the Conference Championship back to Carroll, where it was after the 1998 season. Coach Bretzmann, along with Captains Maggie Dyke and Becky Meier, are very confident that the Lady Pioneers will meet their goals. Bretzman stated: ÒOur first goal is to win 10 games. That should put us into the top 4 in the conference and into the Conference Tournament. From there, anything is possible.Ó The Lady Pioneers started out the season strong with victories over nonconference foes Cardinal Stritch,
Benedictine, and St. MaryÕs. Coach VorisÕ adjustment has not been as smooth as BretzmannÕs, but his goals for the Pioneer football team are still just as high. Voris started out camp in August with 65 players. Before the first game of the season, the roster had been drastically depleted because of players who elected not to be a part of the 2001 Pioneers. Game 1 in the Jeff Voris era did not go as planned as penalties and injuries marred a 13-3 loss to the North Park Vikings. Coach Voris, however is confident that his team has what it
takes to bounce back from the defeat. After the defeat Voris stated, ÒI feel that we did all the things we needed to do to win.Ó Voris is enjoying his new school and new hometown. Voris praised, ÒPeople have been nothing but nice to me. Waukesha is a great place to raise a family and Carroll is a great place where there is dedication to building champions on and off the field.Ó Pioneer fans should have something to look forward to from the womenÕs soccer team and the menÕs football team for years to come.
