Homecoming parade route may take detour BY
ELIZABETH CARSON Staff Writer
East Avenue construction will not disturb the current parade route set for October 13th at noon. Susanne Lauer, director of student activities, stated that the college did not foresee any problems with the construction. According to Lauer, ÒThe construction is scheduled to be done in the first week of October. The college is bouncing around another parade route but nothing is definite.Ó Lauer was confident that the city would work with the college if the construction was not finished, just as they had when the students were moving on campus. ÒThe city had moved the construction barrels and barricades to allow traffic to move smoothly that weekend,Ó Lauer said.
At this point, the Homecoming parade is scheduled to start line-up on Martin Street at 11:15 on Oct. 13. The parade starts at noon on South Avenue and goes west toward Clinton Street. It then proceeds south on Clinton Street to Wisconsin Avenue, and east on Wisconsin Avenue to East Avenue. Finally, it heads toward the Carroll College campus to the east, where it turns onto Circle Drive in front of Old Main Hall. It rejoins College Avenue briefly, and then turns onto Barstow Street. The parade will finish by heading north on Barstow Street past Van Male Field and turning west onto Cook Street. Robb Pattion, general manager of Waukesha Water Utility, stated the parade will go on the present route that Carroll has planned. According to Pattion, ÒThe project wonÕt be completely done but the main part will be done.Ó Waukesha Water Utilities will work with Carroll to make the parade possible, as

they did before by moving the construction barrels and coordinating traffic with CarrollÕs move-in time. Pattion stated, ÒA project like this takes roughly about three to three and a half months to complete and costs $433,000.Ó Their four to five crew members, and in this particular project a contractor, are being used for a portion of the work. The contractor is boring a hole
under the train track to push a 12inch water pipe underneath. This saves the city from tearing up the tracks and possibly costing more money. This is all being done to increase the water pipe size from 8inch to 12inch to increase better service. The project may not be done, but the Carroll Parade will go on.
Tragedy hits close to home as Carroll loses alumnus BY AMBER YOST Staff Writer Our nationÕs tragedy left many of us wondering what we can do or what we should feel since September 11. Although shock and anger may have made it on the list of our initial reactions, hopefully now we can see the folly in violent backlash and on-going criticism of our leaders and have begun educating ourselves, seeking a deeper understanding, and perhaps gaining a greater appreciation for life. One Carroll College alumnus, Commander Dan Shanower, class of 1983 who died in the attack on the Pentagon on September 11, contained these traits that we could all learn from now. One of his college buddies, Ken Blue, who pledged opposite fraternities as

Shanower twenty-two years ago at Carroll, told a story that described it well. ÒI remember Dan as one of the most multifaceted, rich-with-life people IÕve ever met. His laughter would carry down the hall at Swarthout and bring guys out of their rooms. Once, I found a cassette tape in his room, that he made when he was in high school. It was of him singing ÔHonky Tonk WomanÕ at the top of his voice. I played it a couple of times during my stint at WCCX. He was embarrassed and proud... all at once,Ó Blue said, ÒHow ironic that now, perhaps even more so than before the attack on the Pentagon and World Trade Center, we need DanÕs talents and laughter.Ó ShanowerÕs genuine love of life and deep care for others motivated him to take on an unpopular job for a collegeaged guy, driving school bus for the special education children in Waukesha.
ShanowerÕs fraternity brother Charles See described his special Òuniform.Ó ÒHe wore a pink and green plaid pants, a bright red and white striped sport coat, and a plaid golf hat. One day when he stopped at the fraternity house, he ran into the house from the bus on his route because he had forgotten his wallet. After taking some joking from those of us on the front porch about his outfit, he ran back to the bus to a loud round of applause from the kids. Later, he told us that the kids loved seeing him wear the outfit, as he had to assist Dan Shanower

them and seat belt them in for the ride home every day. ÒTo those kids, he was very special,Ó See said. Shanower graduated with a Major in Politics at Carroll College. He entered Aviation Officer Candidate School in 1985. Two years later, he lost four of his friends in an operational accident; an event that he referred to as Òthe day in which I learned that freedom isnÕt free.Ó But, instead of holding a grudge about this event, he wrote an essay for a U.S. Naval Institute publication describing the character of individual and how they came to personify the virtues honored each Memorial Day. After duties with the Joint Intelligence Center in Japan and as the Assistant Intelligence Officer in San Diego, California he went on to work at the Pentagon and appeared as a Navy spokesman on CNN and authored several articles in the See Pentagon Page 2
