Student Senate proposed possible parking solutions Rachael Remondini Staff Writer

There are more students bringing cars to campus than there are spots, and demand out numbers supply.

Carroll does not have enough parking spaces available to meet demand. So Colin Huth, president of the Student Senate, along with the rest of the senate board, met with various members of Carroll College’s administrative staff in order to come up with some realistic solutions to the problem. Administrative staff included Gary Koenen, Director of Auxiliary Services, and John Harbeck, director of Campus Safety.

In total, Carroll has roughly 1,100 parking spaces and 2,763 students. Of those students, more than half are commuters.

In short, there are not enough parking spaces on campus to hold commuter students alone, much less commuter students and on campus residents. As of now, the college has no definite plan in mind to fix the problem.

However, the Student Senate and the administrative staff have been working together to provide recommendations.

“Right now we are trying to figure out a way to accommodate everyone. We just want things to be fair, especially to those who

Space is an issue, as far as parking goes, forcing many students to park in overflow lots. Even overflow lots, at times, overflow, so Student Senate is facing the parking problem head on.

have paid,” Huth said.

Huth brought up a good point. The majority of parking complaints this year have come from students who have purchased a parking permit and haven’t been guaranteed a spot, particularly in Lots 9 and 11 (Otteson A and B).

One such student is sophomore Greg Weber.

“It’s difficult when I paid for a parking space and I never have a spot, especially on the week days,”

he said.

Others have been from unhappy commuters such as sophomores Allen Rinchich and Jeremiah Webb.

“I’m a commuter and I can never find a spot. Overflow, Otteson, everything is packed. Parking is terrible, it’s absolutely ridiculous,” Rinchich said.

Webb also had a comment to make. He brought up another complaint that has been resurfac-

ing in Campus Safety, the issue of “dead spots.” A dead spot refers to a car that sits idle and isn’t being used.

“I come here every morning and I see the same car parked in the same spot. Why would someone have a car here if they never use it?” Webb said.

The idea of expanding parking on campus has been discussed in the senate but will be unattainable for several years due to cost.

“Some adjuncts bring special expertise to a course ... because of real life experience in the area,” added Thompson.

Positions for mathematics courses were included in the ad.

“I do feel we moved to a place where we are overusing adjuncts.

In the Mathematics Program this semester we have over half of our courses taught by adjuncts. Even though we’ve been mostly very fortunate in getting good adjuncts

Adjunct numbers increase

Sophomore Robin Hassinger performed in the musical “Spitfire Grill” playing the sassy, good hearted lead Percy Talbot.

Presently there are other aspects of the school, particularly concerning the academic and student facilities, that are of higher priority than a new parking structure.

Therefore, other options must be addressed.

So what about public transportation for commuters?

Wouldn’t that alleviate some of the problem?

“Commuters here just don’t want to take a bus, it’s just not a realistic option,” Huth said. That’s why the Student Senate and the administrative staff brainstormed ideas to come up with four major proposals for change.

The first proposal is fee restructuring. This means that in future years all students that want a parking space will have to pay a fee, whether resident or commuter. However, the problem lies in enforcement. How will these students be guaranteed a space?

How will the college regulate against illegal parking? Unfortunately, because the school is unable to afford other means of restriction as of now, the students will once again have to rely on Campus Safety officers to enforce parking regulations. In the past, students have felt that Campus Safety hasn’t been enough to keep illegal parking at a minimum.

Nearly 30 adjunct positions open for the Spring semester at Carroll College were advertised in the October 31 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

It was only in the 199697 school year that nearly 100 percent of Carroll’s faculty were either tenured or on tenure track.

(See accompanying chart).

The percentage of courses that are taught by adjuncts at Carroll is very similar to patterns at other institutions,” stated Dr. Lynn Bernier, Provost of the college. She explained that eight years is a very long time higher education today and that it is undergoing a drastic transformation in the country. Staffing patterns are just part of that transformation and the majority of higher education institutions in the country have more part-time and full-time non-tenure track than they did eight years ago. “[Adjuncts] provide flexibility in staffing. As the demand in different programs increase and decrease, staffing can be adjusted without releasing full-time faculty,” said Dr. Linda Thompson of the Mathematics department.

to step into our courses, there are definitely some disadvantages to the increasing use of the adjunct,” stated Thompson.

Some of the disadvantages, according to Thompson, include less time spent on campus by adjunct instructors, and their lack of accessibility to students and lack of contact with full-time faculty in their respective departSee Adjuncts Page 3

Parking: Proposals suggest parking alleviation Continued from Page 1

“This year there have been fewer complaints on behalf of Campus Safety officers. They have done a great job of issuing tickets and have even towed when necessary. They’ve towed roughly 10 vehicles so far this year,” said Huth.

The second is gating. This option would regulate illegal parking much more strictly but would also take much longer to implement due to time and cost. This proposal would work on a swiping system, similar to what is used in the dorms. Access into and out of the lots would be limited to only those students

who have paid for a space. All others who have not been issued a parking permit would not be able to enter the lot. The only exceptions to the rule would be athletic events or other special events put on by the college. In those cases, the gates would be lifted.

The third proposal is intended to help the students who are unable to park in the campus lots. For these students, the senate has proposed that the college provide detailed maps and information showing students their other parking options. For example, these maps would indicate the available city lots and street parking near campus. These maps would be made available to

students through hard copy and accessible via the Internet.

The last proposal is the restriction of freshman parking. In this instance, freshmen on campus would no longer be allowed to have vehicles unless special circumstances permit.

Many students on campus feel freshmen parking has contributed to the problem. However, is it really worth it? This year the freshman class has been issued only 120 parking permits, a significantly smaller number than most students think. Yet, a question that still lingers is where these permits have been offered.

The location of these freshmen spaces does make a difference

when analyzing the problem.

These proposals are just a few of the ideas presently being discussed. However, answers to many questions still need to be found. Before any of these proposals become formalized for consideration, the senate and the administration would like feedback from the student body. Any ideas, comments or input would be much appreciated. Some things to consider: How will the spaces be distributed? Will they be on a first come, first serve basis? Do on campus students take priority over commuter students? Does seniority play a part?

As of now, these recommendations are still being improvised,

yet Huth said they would like to see them done and proposed by the end of semester.

“We want to see a solution.

Within the senate, we have a full board of people who are very focused on the issue and want to see something done. We hope that the proposals we have in mind will relieve the pressures of the current parking situation, but if not, hopefully people will understand it’s a campus situation. Parking at a college will always be a struggle.

In the future, students need to look into other options such as city lots and street parking as well, otherwise they need to accept the fact that they may have to walk four blocks to class,” he said.

Adjuncts: Hiring Continued from Page 1

ments.

Running advertisements is standard for other campuses but new for Carroll, according to Bernier.

“By expanding our searches both through the newspaper ads, website postings and direct contacts with graduate programs in the area, we have greatly increased our pool of interested instructors,” said Bernier.

“We try to run ads for adjuncts once or twice before the end of the semester prior to the one in which we are seeking faculty,” added Bernier.

Though 26 positions may seem high, it is actually fewer positions than were needed for fall and summer. “We are discouraging full-time faculty from teaching overload courses, since we want them to devote more time to their full-time teaching loads, their scholarship, and their service to the institution and their professions,” stated Bernier.

Carroll attempted to search for adjunct instructors prior to the October 31 ad to fill positions for the Spring semester but learned they were ahead of the curve.

“Other schools in the area do not start [searching] until later, and adjuncts who are seeking employment sometimes want to know all the options before they apply for positions,” said Bernier.

A masters degree is required of all adjuncts. Many of Carroll’s adjuncts in social science, science and humanities either have or are very close to obtaining a Ph.D. “We make every effort, through the hiring and evaluation process, to provide students with the best instructors possible,” ensured Bernier.

When full-time faculty are hired, a national search is done and Carroll seeks candidates who hold terminal degrees in their fields, according to Thompson.

“While I do feel that mostly we have excellent adjunct instructors, we obviously have to hold them to the same standard that we do our full-time hires,” said Thompson.

Division deans and area coordinators are even dismissing some long-time adjuncts who were not meeting teaching standards at Carroll, according to Bernier. She also added that mentoring and evaluation of all faculty is under a process for improvement.

OPINION Page 4

The New Perspective

Anybody out there?

Mark R. DeBoer Staff Writer

Being a writer, I understand the importance of continual reading. That’s right, I said reading.

As it turns out, reading in general is one of the biggest tools that we can utilize in educating ourselves.

Since we are all college students, or professors, we all have a lot already on our plates, what with finals being just around the corner. So, it might be hard to find the time to partake in any reading that doesn’t directly coincide with our studies. Be that as it may, if that is the general sentiment, but a healthy distraction from the overwhelming tedium of school work can be a blessing.

The New Perspective, which is just one of several newspapers and magazines here at Carroll, is well worth the read. The entire staff takes the time to put together a news medium that is focused, for the most part, on our campus’ backyard. Which indeed makes it a worthwhile distraction that will make us more aware of current events; all the while granting us some much needed time away from the books.

I have been writing a column in the Arts and Entertainment section of The New Perspective for three issues now called “Amor Linguae.” It may at first appear to be a fluffy column about words and writers, but it is meant to be

serious. Perhaps I’m really only expecting my fellow writers out there to partake in the chance to get their work into print through the submissions that I’m willing to take, and maybe for no other reason than to start compiling a portfolio of printed works. It’s frustrating being surrounded by students that claim to be so artistic, yet seem to be afraid of getting involved in art community wide.

In the short time “Amor Linguae” has been in print, I have received only two submissions.

One of which was published in the first issue, the other turned out to be too long, but will be able to be read in an upcoming issue of one to the independent papers on campus that I work on as well. Two submissions in six weeks! Is there anyone out there even reading their words? I realize that we are our own worst critics when it comes to our art, and fear may be responsible for the yahoo.com e-mail account going unused that has been set up exclusively for submissions to “Amor Linguae.”

I realize that the semester is almost over, which means we’re all trying to get caught up with everything, and that, yes, dodging maniacal drivers on East Ave. does grow wearisome, but we all have something to add to each others lives while we’re here. There’s a reason why each of us is here at Carroll right now, and there is more to it than just getting a college degree. Carroll’s a good school, and I know that there are other colleges out there that are equal to or better than this one, but we chose this one for a reason. Let’s make the most of it, by taking part in what happens around us, for I know that it will make what is going on inside of us much more memorable.

‘Balk!’ I call a balk on Disney and Dubya

Bear Milne Opinion Editor

I’m calling a balk on ABC, Disney, and the President of the United States George Bush, because I believe an injustice was done to our veterans and parents, our grandparents and everyone who’s made the greatest sacrifice in the name of freedom and liberty. The conservativeness and retrograde actions of this country is really starting to get to me, and somehow we’ve managed to bring and keep this kind of viewpoint prevalent in society, and it’s bull$@#*!

Society has gone from a Thomas Paine (give people a chance) aspect to that of fraidycat Thomas Hobbes (thank you POL 141), believing that people in general are not good, but are inherently evil and destructive.

There’s talk of dropping the two-term limit, so let me say this; Hobbes advocated for a Monarchy; one ruler to keep everyone in line and then his court to assist.

Everyone knows Paine—we live in with his idea, democracy.

What I’m getting at is that something is seriously wrong with the way that society is addressing the youth of America, the homeland, the everyday Joe and blue collar household within the United States. Sometimes shock

value is good, horrific scenes of destruction and turmoil, hope and love and loss, and sometimes it’s bad, dangerous, but in any sense engaging the thought processes of the country and the appreciation factor should be more exploited than the “dream” per se, or the vision.

Okay, here. I’ve never seen combat. My father has. My grandparents have. I can’t describe the horrors of war, the devastation and the mental processes that one must endure and harvest to survive, to see the mission through, to get home while some of my buddies and fellow Americans die around me. Movies can NEVER show or imitate the emotions that the person in combat feels or doesn’t, see’s or hears. They can NEVER put someone there as if they truly were, at least not to my knowledge, but they try. So on Veteran’s Day, November 11, ABC was slated to play “Saving Private Ryan,” a masterpiece in showing the sacrifices and horrors of war, of brotherhood and patriotism—and the feelings of just wanting to get home alive.

But, the good ole Presidente decided that it was too gory, too graphic. The day he speaks at Arlington National Cemetary and places a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the day when a Pearl Harbor survivor is among the crowd and weeps on the shoulder of a Marine disfigured from the current combat, but standing proud and true for the sacrifices he made for this country and for the people who live here to enjoy that right.

But on this day, this day that we honor the men and women who make these bold sacrifices, especially the “Greatest Generation,” ABC broadcasts “Far and Away (but the cable guide says

otherwise).”

Some people in political study and debate advocating for a mandatory service period by citizens for their government in order for the right to vote. Robert A. Heinlein wrote about such a government in his novel that they destroyed in cinema, Starship Troopers. Some people feel that this form is extreme. In any sense, what justice do we warrant to the men and women who made the sacrifices—who fought artillery and braved submarine infested oceans, sea and motion sickness, shell shock, bullets flying allaround, the winters and lack of ammunition or food, the tyranny in the most unholy and grotesque of forms—what honor do we do them in reminding them to dream on the day established to pay honor to them. What justice do we warrant the youth of the country in not seeing what their grandparents fought against in order for them to have what they do.

I REMEMBER when that movie came out, I went opening weekend. I teared, yeah, I’ll admit it. But as the lights rose in the theater I looked around me in blurred amazement at the mass of gray and blue, and their tears. The veterans who make sure they hit the Early Bird with the hats identifying their ship or branch, their unit or the medals that hung from their chest. THEY watched it with me. THEY APPLAUDED, they saluted, and we were all tearing together for what they had done and what they sacrificed in order for peace and liberty to remain until my generation and then the next. And then we forget them and tell the next generation and the masses to dream. I just don’t think it was honorable, but that’s just me. “Balk,” I call it.

Politically Speaking

Reaching out was what the winners used to do

Greg Rabidoux, Ph. D. Staff Writer

Governor Schwarzenegger (yeah, still makes me chuckle too) recently snorted to reporters that, “why should I reach out…they are losers” when asked if he would offer an olive branch to his political opponents for the sake of unity. Well, why should he? His political muscles aren’t flabby, his party won big across this great land of ours, his opponents (who apparently need more time in the electoral gym) lost. To the victor go the spoils. This is the way it always has been, always will be.

But by the time you finish reading this column, I’m going to offer some powerful reasons why that should all change. But first, two

observations.

One, President Bush won a close but truly resounding victory as red states (Bush) outnumbered blue states (Kerry) more than 3-1. From what evidence we can gather, this election turned on the dominance of security concerns (Don’t change horses in mid-race or generals in mid-war) morality (Bush promulgated a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, Kerry not so wisely referenced Dick and Lynne Cheney’s lesbian daughter and left it to Americans to fill in the hypocritical dots (alert to Kerry: We Americans don’t do dots real well) and “in consistency we trust” (Bush-you know my record-you’re with us or against us, you’re either good or an evildoer) and in “inconsistency we distrust” (Kerry-maybe the third time he explains his Iraq vote will be the charm).

Second, the Democrats never could regain the early energy and fervor which Howard Dean generated, especially with the youth vote and never found a way to get the vote of “the guys who drive the pick-ups with confederate flags” in the deep south. In short, John Edwards was a breath of fresh air and southern sunshine when maybe what Massachusetts

liberal John Kerry needed was dark-cloud, chain-smoking LBJ to carry Texas and the south for the Dems. Either way, defeating an incumbent is always an onerous task and this Bush has proven he knows how to stay on message and is smart enough to listen very carefully when Karl “the architect” Rove speaks.

Now, what to do with this political capital the President has now safely tucked into his political bank? Well, first display the kind of courage your supporters claim you have and don’t allow your post-election words about unity to ring hollow. Our country is dangerously divided at this point in history. It will not be a terrorist attack that ultimately cripples us, it will be the enemy within. That enemy is a divided America. Intolerance. Bigotry.

Hatred. The three horsemen of our political downfall. They lead to political pettiness to isolate and marginalize gays, lesbians, Jews, black, and minorities of all diverse colors. They manipulate natural fear and uncertainty and cattle-drive people into compartmentalized camps where they can be controlled and monitored.

The whip of fear and uncertainty which the Republicans,

most notably, Dick Cheney employed so effectively during the campaign needs to now be replaced by tools that build bridges between all Americans. A divided America along religious, ethnic and moral ground is a far more vulnerable target for terrorism than an America with its blinders torn off to see the vast commonality between us.

President Bush certainly has one final term to prove he is “indeed a uniter not a divider” as he as frequently claimed. Supreme Court justice appointments, immigration reform, tax reform, health care, public educationthe list is long but so has been the wait for positive, concerted action. History has shown that a President’s second term can be a great opportunity for real political courage and leadership or for abject complacency. Here’s hoping that George can show Arnold a thing or two about real political muscle by aiming for the former not the latter.

Finally, the importance of not playing to the worst impulses and bigotries in people for entertainment and cheap political gain was recently illustrated here at home.

Mark Belling, a conservative talk radio host, referred to His-

panic voters who may be illegal as “wetbacks.” This is an ethnic slur against Hispanics akin to calling blacks the N-word. When concerned Hispanic community leaders and others demanded an apology, Belling poured more hot water into the boiling pot he found himself in by joking about giving the wetbacks bobblehead dolls of himself and encouraging a poll of his listeners to tell him whether he really needed to apologize or not.

Free speech is constitutionally protected but the right is not absolute. It comes with a duty to be responsible. Belling, for at least awhile proved he was irresponsible and not worthy of this right.

Here’s hoping this local lesson reverberates across our land. Now is not the time for racist, politically motivated bigots with an agenda to divide. Our new heroes need to be uniters. I hope men and women from both parties prove up to this task. Our future truly depends on our ability to vanquish the enemy from within.

Eat Jimmy’s World

The cartoons aren’t Answering the question—why write? cool or alright

Jim Verbick Staff Writer

I weep for today’s children.

They have to grow up with such poorly animated entertainment.

When I refer to these cartoons, I don’t mean “South Park” or anything you can find on Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. I am speaking about such garbage as “Rocket Power,” “Rugrats,” and the ultimate shame in animation…“SpongeBob Squarepants.”

How can this trash be allowed on television? The Federal Communications Commission should have waved a big red flag on these. Stuff like this is damaging toward children.

No one should believe babies can walk around and have competent thought. The only thing babies know how to do is crawl around and defecate themselves. This plot I mentioned can be found on the show “Rugrats.”

If seeing the characters walk around and ramble on about naïve perspectives of the world wasn’t bad enough, now we can listen to them ramble on as preteens on “All Grown Up.” My front lobe just trembles with excitement. I guess the writers must have run out of dialog about eating dog food or sucking on their thumbs. Now we get to experience their prepubescent years. I think I prefer the dirty diapers over awkward moments in gym class.

“Rocket Power” isn’t much better, in fact it’s worse. If you enjoy watching people who think they’re extreme in everything they do, you’ll love seeing them as kids in this show. The creation of this program can only be blamed on adults whose children watch the X-Games and assumed it would be a hit - a show full of youthful degenerates.

I have saved the worse show for last. “SpongeBob” is the bane of my existence. Everywhere I turn I see merchandise with his picture on it. Every time I flip through the television channels, I hear his screeching laughter and it makes my ears bleed.

What happened to the good cartoons from when we were kids? It isn’t like it was that long ago. One of the best shows to tackle teenage awkwardness was “Doug.” No cartoon since then has even come close to matching the well thought out plot and developed characters.

“SpongeBob” is nothing but a weak attempt as a “Ren and Stimpy” for kids today. However, it comes up short. “Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy,” though simple, is a timeless classic; one which no dishwashing object in pants could touch.

An easy way to see that the children’s market is desperate for good material is the bringing back of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle” action figures. When I was kid, you weren’t cool if you didn’t own a “Ninja Turtle” action figure. Many years ago, I even dressed up as one on Halloween with my brother and two friends.

Even school bullies envied the “Ninja Turtles.” Today, bullies pick on those kids who wear “SpongeBob” paraphernalia, and throw them in dumpsters. If you know any such bullies, let me know. I’d be glad to lend a hand and toss poor misguided children into the place where their clothing belongs.

Complaining shouldn’t be a right without a vote Jay Wendland Staff Writer

With the recent presidential race concluded, many people are unhappy with the results.

Everyone has the right to their own opinion and every right to complain… if they voted! If you did not vote, you don’t have the right to complain. Honestly, if you were unsatisfied with the way the country was run, why wouldn’t you vote for change? If you weren’t of age to vote, then that is a different story. Then you can complain because you really had no control over it. But, what really pisses me off is the fact that people complain about who won, when they have the right to vote, but didn’t.

Honestly, once you turn 18, you are given the right to vote; why not use it? Voting is a responsibility given to Americans and should be used, especially if

you are unhappy with the way things are being handled. We had the largest voter turnout in our country’s history this year, but still, many people didn’t get out and vote. I know a person on campus that was complaining of Bush’s victory and how bad Bush runs the country. Then I asked this person why they voted for John Kerry and their response was “I didn’t vote.” This is a prime example of what I am trying to get across. If you are seriously unhappy with the way the country is being run, then vote when the time comes around. This person had no right to complain about Bush if they didn’t vote at all.

If you want to complain about the way our country is being run, then vote for change when the opportunity presents itself. But unless you are of voting age and actually voted, you have no right to complain about whoever won.

Cheryl Parmenter

STUDENT

SPOTLIGHT Josefine Ejebjork Staff Writer

Cheryl Parmenter is a soonto-be Carroll College graduate with a wandering spirit. Her interest in history and traveling took her to Hull, England, and to many other places in Europe when she chose to study abroad for a semester.

Starting already in high school, Parmenter spent a month abroad in Spain. Since then, it has been on her mind for a long time that she wanted to do it again.

In the History Division where she works, there were pamphlets about studying abroad that she looked through. This sparked her interest, and with graduation not far away, she decided that if she wanted to go she had to make up her mind now.

“It was a very impulsive, sporadic thing to do,” Parmenter said.

She signed up for the study abroad program to England through Carroll. Even though she was a week late in turning in all her application forms, she got an interview.

“I got really lucky,” Parmenter said.

She left for Hull last spring to spend a semester abroad. Her family was somewhat nervous for her to be so far away for such a long time.

“I learned more worldly stuff and learned about myself,” Parmenter said about the experience.

Parmenter noticed that the school system is different in England than what she is used to here. She had three classes, but outside lectures once or twice a week. Most of the time is devoted to individual study.

She also soon realized that most of the British students don’t even come to class. Also, the British students are different.

“They are very reserved,” Parmenter said. “If you want to meet them, you have to be very forceful and give them your number and tell them to call you.

Since nobody goes to class, you don’t meet anyone there.”

Also, the student housing was somewhat different. Parmenter lived in a house with three other people, three American girls. That was sometimes the downfall, Parmenter said, about living with all Americans, that it was more difficult to get out of the habit of being with them and seeing other “non-American”

How To

people. But she also said that the best things are the relationships she has built.

“We are all alone and everyone is going through the same thing,” she said.

When she wasn’t at school, she spent much time traveling in Europe. Cheap airline tickets made it possible for her to see many places. She went to Amsterdam with a Dutch friend from the university.

“We stayed with his family and he showed us around town,” she said. She also traveled on her own to Paris, Munich, Prague, Berlin and Poland. “It is interesting to start to figure out how to be and how to act. You start new at every new place.”

Parmenter said that her time in Europe has made her more mature and more aware of her actions and how they affect other people.

“I’m a wanderer. Europe intrigues me, modern in some ways but still old.”

When she graduates this spring with a history degree, she hopes to teach history at the high school level, or she will go on to earn her masters and Ph.D. “I want to be a historian writer and teach at the same time.”

When she is not busy, she tries to read a lot. “[I’ll read] anything that is a great story,” she said, “something that challenges me and challenges my brain.”

Dollars and Sense

Shop around for better cell phone plans Jared Stengel Staff Writer

Hanging up from the last cell phone call, wondering how many minutes are left on the calling plan for the month can cause cell phone anxiety. But knowing what different communication providers carry can help someone overcome that anxiety—just find a plan that fits demanded needs.

Cheaper is better, but what kind of cheaper is it? Is the amount of minutes the primary concern? Maybe the coverage area is what is of greater importance.

Perhaps even it’s how many night and weekend minutes are available. Whatever the case might be, there is a plan out there. Take a little time to investigate all the available plans first.

U.S. Cellular (http: //www.uscc.com/uscellular/ SilverStream/Pages/ uscellular.html) has a good plan for only $44.90 a month. With this plan, the customer gets 1,000 anytime minutes, free incoming calls and 3,000 night and weekend minutes.

“I like the plan. It gives me great local coverage with lots of minutes,” said junior Chris Millot. “The bad thing about U.S. Cellular is that it’s not a huge coverage area for traveling.”

The coverage for this plan

Cell phones can create a stressful situation when dealing with minutes, coverage areas, and general service and costs. Maybe it’s time to shop around for a deal that won’t break the bank.

consists of six states; however, coverage is not available for entire area of the six states. This plan gives coverage for half of Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa with partial coverage in Indiana, Missouri and Oklahoma. Also, this plan does not give any coverage outside the Midwest, so traveling could be a problem.

Cingular Wireless (http: //www.cingular.com/) offers a wide variety of plans with a broad national coverage zone. With

Cingular, a $40 plan provides 450 anytime minutes including rollover, unlimited nationwide calling to other Cingular customers and 5,000 night and weekend minutes. Rollover minutes occur when one month, at the end of a billing cycle, unused minutes are carried over to the next month.

That way, minutes aren’t wasted and they accumulate from month to month. The coverage zone is a bit larger than U.S. Cellular’s.

Cingular covers most of the East

Cost, as well as the central United States. The zone also spreads to the West Coast a little bit, with certain cities covered.

Sprint PCS (http:// www.sprint.com/) has a reputation as one of the better wireless carriers, but at a different cost.

The prices that Sprint has for their plans are extremely high for smaller coverage areas. For example, to get a plan for $40, anytime minutes provided would only range from 301-400. Addi-

tionally, with the coverage area barely getting out to the West Coast, traveling far and using the phone would ensure some roaming charges.

Verizon Wireless’ (http: //www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/ index.jsp) plans cost a bit more, but the coverage is greater. Keeping with the price comparison of $40 a month, the customer would receive 400 anytime minutes, unlimited nation wide calling to any Verizon phone and unlimited night and weekend minutes. The coverage zone stretches from almost the entire East Coast to the West Coast, covering everything in between.

“My phone sucks because I drop it a lot, but Verizon gives the best service,” said senior Sarah Gawlitta.

With wireless plans covering the United States, there is a plan for every type of personality.

Don’t just look at the minutes that may come with a certain price tag, but also look at the coverage that might be needed or desired. Don’t get caught up with the catch phrases like Verizon’s “Can you hear me now?” Take a look at the plans and make an educated decision based on needs, wants, benefits and overall satisfaction of what the company is providing.

Protect yourself from fraud Find internships and become a valued employee

Mark Weitkunat Staff Writer

Although it hasn’t been a major problem on the Carroll College campus, identity theft is something to watch out for as it is a growing problem. It can be something as complex and financially troubling as use of a credit card number to something as simple as your student login password. Posing as you, someone else could potentially run your life behind the scenes without you knowing it by stealing private, identifying information.

The major problem with identity theft is that it can be very hard to trace once someone does have an identifying number. If

there is evidence or even suspicion of identity theft, one should immediately contact the credit provider of the illegal activity that is taking place on the card. The same should be done with your student ID number.

One of the best ways to prevent identity theft is to just be careful with that plastic. It may be handy, but it can get people in trouble. When making purchases online, it is a good idea to be sure that it is a secure Web site.

To find out if it is secure, usually somewhere on the site is a privacy statement or other security document. Also, when typing in your credit number, the Web address of that page should have “https” in the format. This is usually a

good indication of whether or not the site is secure. Just going to a regular store to make purchases works too. That way there is no chance of theft and everything is secure.

One of the easiest ways a criminal can get a hold of someone else’s financial information is through ATMs (automated teller machines) and PINs (personal identification numbers) used to access accounts. An easy way to prevent this from happening is by shredding important documents like bank statements and watching one’s back when punching in that secret code. Also, be very careful of who knows the PIN. It should be as few people as possible.

Even though it hasn’t been a major problem on campus, identity theft has happened in the past. If you suspect your student card of being stolen or it is missing, go to the information desk in the Campus Center and have the old card cancelled before getting a new one or searching for the old one. Be careful as to who uses your card.

Be watchful to who you give out information to and where you type those numbers in. Credit card and PINs are easy to steal off documents. Cutting up old statements is a smart thing to do. In the long run, common sense will tell you what to do and if unsure about what to do after the fact, a great website to go to is http: //www.consumer.gov/idtheft/.

“I think that it is scary to think that someone might get access to your personal information and then use that information for their benefit. You should be very cautious about to who you give your information to.

Identity theft happens more than you think, and it is crucial to learn about ways in which you can help protect yourself against the various types of fraud,” said sophomore Shanna Younan.

Lift moods by eating the proper foods Helen Brewer Staff Writer

In the Main Dining Room (MDR), bottles of Sobe stare out from the drink case in the deli line, labeled with claims of their Echinacea-loaded Green Tea being able to “add to your overall well-being,” while in the Pioneer Indoor Terrace (PIT) there are Odwalla shakes that give “you about 2,000 percent of the recommended daily intake of Vitamin C.” The campus is loaded with foods that are helpful to the body.

Studies have shown that having the right ingredients in foods not only help the body, but also contribute to moods and the well being of the mind.

Snacks that are believed to make a person more happy, known as “supporters,” generally include healthy things like whole grain foods, organic foods, oil rich fish, fruit, nuts, seeds, vegetables and protein.

“Stressor” foods tend to have more unhealthy components.

Stressors include sugar, caffeine, alcohol, chocolate, additives, dairy, saturated fats and foods with wheat in them.

In a survey of 200 people conducted by the British Broadcasting Company, 88 percent reported that changing their diet improved their mental health significantly. In fact, 26 percent had seen large improvements in mood swings, 26 percent in panic attacks and anxiety and 24 percent in depression.

Page 9

Especially bad for a person’s mood are sugar and caffeine. These ingredients can cause anxiety, according to the American Society for Nutritional Sciences.

Tina Schmidt, a freshman, is known by her floor-mates for being “like a bouncy Superball” after having sugar, according to sophomore Nicole Kohn.

However, the negative effects of such a burst are obvious. When asked what happened to her after the short sugar burst was over, Schmidt said, “I sleep.”

One food high in sugar, however, seems to still show beneficial qualities.

“Lately I’ve been really happy. I think it was because of eating chocolate everyday,” said senior Stacy Yang.

The theory that chocolate enhances a person’s mood is actually very common. According to Chocolate.com (http: //www.chocolate.com/), chocolate contains alkaloids known as tetrahydro-beta-carbolines.

These mood-enhancing molecules are also found in wine, beer and liquor. Chocolate even contains anandamide-related lipids that mimic some of the components of marijuana. On a simpler note, people may feel better after eating chocolate just because they enjoyed the texture and aroma.

One thing is certain. The old phrase “you are what you eat” has taken on a whole new meaning.

There seem to be a few key times in a person’s life when a birthday is considered important.

When you turn 10, you are in “double digits.” By 13, you are now no longer a child but a “teenager.” When 16 rolls around, hopefully so does a driver’s license with a new car. Eighteen marks the new life as an adult.

But these past birthdays probably don’t compare to the one everyone thinks about, mostly as a college student—when a person turns 21.

It was discovered that when a person turns 21, there is a “new world” introduced. The person is not seen as a little kid anymore and there is no one who has a harder time with this than parents. Seeing the little child that has grown up to be a hell raiser may be a little much to take, especially if eaves dropping on phone calls to discover that that Halloween weekend hardly had anything to do with costume parties and trick-or-treating.

Once a teenager has crossed the bridge into adulthood, turning 21 ceremoniously leads to a new pastime—drinking.

Numerous students described their 21st birthday experience with an almost unanimous answer: “My friends decided to take me out, and apparently it is tradition to have beverages bought for you that is

considered rude to refuse. Therefore, I get sick and everyone laughs. I, on the other hand, was not laughing, but instead feeling very angry with my so-called friends.”

Nothing says a good time with the friends than having your clique carry you from a bar to the bathroom. Just don’t forget to use some mouthwash.

But friends aren’t always available.

“My birthday was on an odd day,” said an anonymous junior from Carroll College. “Everyone had to work on Tuesday night or were busy with other things during the day, so the only one who could ‘celebrate’ with me was my mom. We actually had a great time, having dinner with a drink included. At least I didn’t have to pay for it, and I realized my mom actually saw me as an adult.”

Who says mom and dad can’t have a good time with you? Our parents used to have fun until we came around.

So a person can hang out with the friends or even celebrate with the parents. Junior Jamie Lawrence will turn 21 in February and already has a plan in mind.

“I’m going to Las Vegas with my three good friends and boyfriend. That will definitely be a good time,” Lawrence said.

Destinations can be a great way to celebrate because if there are other friends in your party

that are not of age to participate, there are other activities to do.

It was suggested by several other students that going to a hotel in another town or city was a thrill simply because of being in a different place.

“Getting out of a place you’re always in just makes the day feel special. Plus, if you have any embarrassing adventures, you can just leave because nobody knows you anyway,” said junior Kyla Bahr.

Now if embarrassing oneself doesn’t seem all that appealing, try out this other tactic: Don’t drink at all.

“When I turned 21, I was on vacation with my family and best friend. I could have drank, but decided to go sky diving instead.

It was such a great experience that I really didn’t miss out on anything. Just doing something I had never done before was a way to make me really remember my birthday without even having to get sick,” said one junior.

Trying out many different ideas, whether it is a destination, new adventure, party with the parents or best friends, feel free to do something that is going to make the birthday memorable.

If you really don’t care about remembering anything, then just go for all of the above. Perhaps you can ask for a video camera for your birthday to get the whole thing on tape. Then the memories can be cherished for everyone to enjoy.

Crack up with ComedySportz Once through the doors of the stadium, it’s a good idea to wait for an usher to lead the way to assigned seats.

Once seated, patrons listen to background music and wait for the games to begin.

Amor Linguae Love of language

Slam poet to visit Carroll Mark R. DeBoer Staff Writer

So here it is the third installation of Amor Linguae. It’s sometimes hard to believe that this has been going for six weeks already, but when it comes to the celebration of words I get down right giddy. I start to rub my hands together and squirm in whatever seat I happen to be occupying; it’s wonderful. Okay, so I may be a little bit of a geek, but I love what I love and I feel that’s a very admirable quality in anyone who knows what they like and don’t like.

Speaking of likes, on November 30, 2004 there will be a slam poet by the name of Mike McGee making an appearance at the Ballroom in the Campus Center.

While the 8 p.m. start time is still in flux a bit, I’m certain that it will be an enjoyable experience for all involved. McGee is a San Jose native, but honed his skills of slam reading and stand-up comedy in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is also one of the founding members of Tons of Fun University (T.O.F.U), which is a combination of two poets, McGee being one of them, with a very simple mission: “To bring their best work and expression possible to the widest array of people, places and scenes.

Step inside and escape to live performances that are sure to leave you with a good impression that will foster a life-long appreciation for the performing arts.

In its 48th season of performances, the Waukesha Civic Theatre strives to offer entertaining yet educational performances.

This performance promises to keep the audience laughing while The Truly Remarkable Loon juggles everything from the traditional clubs and balls to bowling balls, kitchen sinks and possibly an audience member or two!

Daytime performances are also provided through Playmakers for students in public, private and home school groups as well as senior citizens groups.

Another popular theatre experience is the Academy of Civic Theatre. Students who participated in the summer camp experience the theatre life when performing in the Academy of Civic Theatre. The program emphasizes the positive effect of participation.

Once you experience the grandeur of the theater, you may want to return to help behind the scenes. Production committees need volunteers for customs, props, set construction and lighting and audio. Non-production committees need volunteers for marketing, users, maintenance and clerical. Whether you have a few hours or a day or two a month, your contribution to the arts is always appreciated.

Season tickets are available with incentives for discount tickets. Flex pass benefits are also available to build your own personal season of performances.

Jem. She isn’t that 80s cartoon character who turns into a rock star and looks like Barbie.

No, this Jem has a debut CD with some new tunes to awaken the soul. Not only did this brunette beauty make it big with a record deal, but she opened for the everpopular Dave Matthews Band.

Her new album, Finally Woken has some new funky tunes.

Her first CD features 11 songs, with the music has a feel of Norah Jones or Dido, with a Michelle Branch feel in the lyrics as well. Her songs are catchy and a little on the edgy side.

One of the songs called Come on Closer can be heard in the background for ABC’s Desperate Housewives. For fans of Fox’s The O.C., Jem does an amazing cover song, “Maybe I’m Amazed”, a Beatles song, on The O.C. Mix 2 soundtrack.

Not only does Jem have a debut CD out, she also toured with Dave Matthews Band.

Jem sparkles in the world of music dedicated in loving memory to PJ Matthews. This song is chilling yet powerful to listen to anytime.

Save me and 24 have interesting beats and good lyrics which give this album a fresh sound and feel to it. Missing You gives the feel of Norah Jones’ hit Don’t Know Why. There is something that is indescribable about the music of Jem that makes listeners get sucked into the meanings of the songs.

Jem’s current single They has become a hit, and remixes of it are set to be released on vinyl.

VH1 has also been airing a feature they did on Jem and making the video for They.

Jem’s music has a new, fresh feel, and grabs any listener in.

There is great range in vocals and really has Fiona Apple and Alanis Morisette, along with Branch, Dido, and Jones-like vibes to album. Jem wrote all of her own songs for the album and is continuing to grow as an artist and performer. With great vocals and powerful lyrics, she has what it takes to be the next great indie rocker of our time.

Age was not a factor for Bad Religion on November 5, 2004. They’re one of the oldest punk bands around and hosted a packed show with From First to Last and Rise Against. Never have I seen so many older Bad Religion fans before, ranging from 30-50!

From First to Last played first (how fitting).

From First to Last had plenty of charisma and energy, but lacked some talent. There is something about a band that simply screams into the microphone that makes me want to slam my head into the wall. The singer repeatedly whipped his microphone around his head, barely missing the drummer each time! A few people were digging these guys, but I was patiently waiting for Rise Against.

Rise Against are a hardcore band, and they got a much better response from the crowd. The mosh pits started to form as these Chicago men tore apart the stage.

One song I recollect was Like an Angel. After they finished destroying the Rave with their blend of crazy hardcore tunes, it was Bad

Religion time!

After waiting a surprisingly long time after Rise Against’s equipment was taken down, Bad Religion took it to the stage. They opened with their Overture off the latest release The Empire Strikes First. The crowd instantly turned into a massive mosh pit as the pioneers of punk rock played Social Suicide, Generator, 21st Century Digital Boy, and a slew more.

One of the funnier moments of the show was when singer Greg Graffin demonstrated how “difficult” it is to change microphones.

He pulled out the cord from one microphone, and stuck the cord into his new one.

Despite the absence of founder and guitar player Brett Gurewitz, these old dogs of punk rock played a stellar show. My favorite quote from the night was, “Bad Religion shouldn’t even be up on stage anymore, but you guys won’t let us stop”.

As they showed that night, they still have the energy and can play fast as hell. I strongly recommend catching them next time they are in town, or picking up their latest release, The Empire Strikes First.

4th and Long Tournament spells disaster for men and What happened to intramurals? women’s soccer Alysha Schertz Staff Writer

Men’s Soccer Pioneer Men’s soccer team suffered a devastating conference tournament loss to Beloit College. The Pioneers faced Beloit in the first round of conference play on Friday, November 5.

Carroll came out strong, and early in the game, set the score at 1-0 with a goal scored by senior Andy Matson. Matson, Beloit answered with their own goal with three minutes left in the first half. Both the Pioneers and the Buccaneers went scoreless in the second half, sending the game in to overtime. After twenty minutes of overtime play, the score remained tied 1-1.

The game went in to an intense sudden-victory shootout, to decide which team would advance to the conference championship. Both teams made four of five kicks in the first round setting up a Beloit goal on the sixth kick and a Carroll miss. Both the men and the coaches were disappointed.

Coach Mobley on the game, “With the way we played all season, I felt confident when we took a 1-0 lead. However, you could clearly see we didn’t have that same determination defensively that we had all season long. If we could have made it to halftime up 1-0, it would likely have changed the dynamics of the game. But give Beloit credit for stepping up their game after giving up the early goal.”

Beloit advanced to the conference championship where they were defeated by Midwest Conference Champions at St. Norbert College in a tight 2-1 match-up Carroll College finished the season with a 9-4-4 overall record and an impressive 8-1 in conference play.

The men will graduate seven seniors this year including captains Seth Dehne and Andy Matson. The Pioneers will look to the underclassmen of this season to step it up and take on

some leadership positions for the up coming season, in order to accomplish their goal of conference champions.

Women’s Soccer Carroll College women’s soccer concluded the 2004 season in a semi-final match-up against Grinnell College on Saturday, October 30th. Six days earlier, Carroll came away with 2-1 victory against Grinnell, but this time Grinnell came out strong and defeated the Lady Pioneers with a score of 3-0. Grinnell jumped on the board early with two quick strikes early in the first half and put the third one away just before halftime. Juniors Julia Bell and Jamie Lawrence led the women in shot attempts with four each. Lawrence and Bell’s efforts were not enough, however, as Grinnell advanced for the second year in a row to the conference final on Sunday, October 31. Grinnell College defeated a tough St Norbert College team 1-0 to take the Midwest conference title and an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.

Carroll College finished the season with a very impressive 13-1-1 record. Adding to the impressive honors, Junior Julia Bell was named to the third team all-academic, all-division team. To qualify, Bell needed at least a 3.25 GPA and needed to have participated in 75 percent of the season’s games. Bell did more than just play. She set a new school record with 42 points on 15 goals and 12 assists for the season.

The girls are already getting ready for the next season, making the best of the nice weather and still playing. The Lady pioneers will graduate three seniors this year and look forward to the strength the familiar team will bring next season. Captain Tracy Tetting is among those graduating.

Junior Jamie Lawrence said, “Our team has a bright future, and it is going to be fun to see just how far we can go.”

Intramurals are an integral part of the college experience, and personally, I think Carroll does a very good job at providing students with an opportunity to get their exercise. There are two sessions of intramurals each semester. The first session has just ended, and the second started on November 1.

For the Fall II session of intramurals, six different sports are offered.

Last year as a freshman, I participated in flag football (when it was on the other side of Waukesha), and Men’s basketball.

My teams weren’t good. In fact, we were friggin awful. But we had

when I can though. I’m not good enough to play collegiate sports, and I enjoy living out my fantasies of being an amazing basketball player, or an all-star quarterback through intramurals. I know I’m not the only one.

Alright, back to football (I don’t know what I’m going to be able to talk about next semester).

Check out Milwaukee for a sports fix Jim Verbick Staff Writer

Not many people are aware that last year all three of Milwaukee’s winter sports teams went to their respective playoffs.

Two of those teams went to their championships.

The Milwaukee Admirals made it to the American Hockey League (AHL) Calder Cup championship series and swept the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in four games, including two games that went into overtime.

Unfortunately, the Milwaukee Wave was swept in the Major Indoor Soccer League championship series by the Baltimore Blast.

The Milwaukee Bucks made it to the National Basketball League playoffs, only to be eliminated in the first round by the Detroit Pistons; who later went on to win the championship.

It appears to be the beginning of a lackluster season for the Bucks. Promising rookie from last year, T.J. Ford, still has yet to be cleared by the medical staff to play following his spinal cord surgery after an injury suffered last season.

After two games, the Bucks have won one and lost one.

While in their standings after

four games, the Pistons are 3-1 and the Indiana Pacers are 4-0.

Without a stand-out squad, there seems to be little the Bucks can do in a division with the Pacers and the Pistons. However, with the Chicago Bulls and the Cleveland Cavaliers as dead weight at the bottom of the division standings, the Bucks at least can be the middle-men of the Central Division.

The Milwaukee Wave has always been a prominent team in the indoor leagues. They are led by captain Michael King, 31, who has been a member of the Wave since 1993.

“It was really cool, but really weird,” said Nate Covert, a Carroll College student and soccer enthusiast. “I’m not used to indoor soccer.”

It was Nate’s first time attending an indoor soccer game, but rest-assured, it is not his last.

There are only nine teams in the league, but it is still vigorously competitive. After three games, the Wave sits atop their division tied with the St. Louis Steamers.

The Wave is a very good team and has a habit of making the playoffs and putting on a great performance, win or lose.

The Milwaukee Admirals went a long way to win the Calder

Cup last year, and that fight remains strong this season as well.

After nine games, they’ve won eight and lost one in overtime.

Due to the National Hockey League lockout, a handful of players from the Nashville Predators have joined the Admirals. Without a higher caliber of hockey to watch, the AHL has become the main attraction for hockey fans around the nation. Look no further than the Admirals for high speed slap shots and bare knuckle fights on their road to another Calder Cup victory.

While the Bucks have a mainstream following from being in one of the “Big 4” sports, the Wave and Admirals do not have the same following. Despite the Wave’s consistent success, their attendance has been less than lackluster; barely able to fill half the seats in the U.S. Cellular Arena. The Admirals have a similar problem filling seats in the Bradley Center. Despite the lack of fanfare, the Milwaukee area plays host to many good winter season athletics.

For just a few bucks and a half hour drive, Carroll students could find entertainment just about any night of the week watching one of these fine teams compete.

The New Perspective

Session I intramural champs crowned Laura Allen Staff Writer

The song, “We are the Champions” filled the air as the first intramural session for the 2004-2005 school year came to an end. Okay, maybe that’s pushing it, but it was still time to declare who had earned the privilege to wear the spiffy “Intramural Champions” tee shirts.

While not every participant had the bragging rights to say his or her team finished on top, everyone had the opportunity to participate in games and hang out with friends.

“Just getting out to exercise and just playing with friends,” was reason enough for junior, Jayson Memken, to join team Ish, one of six flag football teams.

Ish lost once this year en route to defeating the faculty team for the outright championship.

“The [championship] game was more competitive…it was close and real physical the whole time. I think we won by two touchdowns in the end,” said Ben Schneider, a senior Ish team member.

The overall consensus said the season was “fun,” but participants feel more teams would improve the program. “If there was an actual ref to make [the games] more consistent it would be better,” Schneider said, “Or just get rid of the rules all together.”

Looking back, teams managed to create some memorable plays under the bright lights of Schneider Stadium. With the new field, it took some time for the players to adjust to the field turf. Overall, the players did not mind the new surface. Schneider said that even the black rubber pieces, (scattered about the field as a substitute for dirt and cushioning falls), were not bothersome, “One time I got tackled and forgot to close my mouth…but it didn’t hurt to fall, you’d bounce right off.”

Going against past trends, sand volleyball only had four teams this fall. Normally six to eight teams sign up to frolic in the sand between the Bergs.

“This was the lowest turnout ever,” said senior Katie Koster who is the Fellow currently in charge of volleyball intramurals. Koster mentioned that the change to Tuesday nights may have conflicted with students’ night classes, but “everyone who played loved it.”

The sand volleyball champion is still pending as unforeseen circumstances pushed back the championship match. If a date cannot be settled on between team captains, the team with the best record will take the honors.

The Killer Bees have the best record and would win the championship if it came down to that. Jackie Collins, sophomore captain of the Killer Bees, said

she wishes that more teams were involved. Agreeing with Collins, Beth Fabian, also a sophomore member of the Killer Bees, said that every game was enjoyable.

Ultimate Frisbee and soccer recently wrapped up as well.

Unfortunately, there was not enough interest to make more than two teams for each sport.

Games were, therefore, treated like open recreation or scrimmage time said Tim Dornemann, Director of Intramurals.

Second quarter intramurals are currently underway and interested students should look for third quarter sign-ups second semester said Dornemann.

Along with indoor volleyball, basketball and soccer, there is a possibility that pool, table tennis, and foosball may become part of the mix in the future.

Kickball is scheduled to make an appearance next semester as well. A tournament is being organized to see if students would prefer the tournament format to weekly scheduled games. This way, students could still be involved with intramurals and avoid the weekly time commitment.

Win or lose, intramurals are still a great way for students seeking a good time to get out and play without focusing on the competitive aspect, Memken said.

“Students should play to have fun, winning is a bonus.”

Men’s basketball works to build on last year’s success Alysha Schertz Staff Writer

The Carroll College Men’s basketball team wasted no time on getting started for this year’s season. Even before fall sports were finished, these men were up early and training hard for a season they all hope will be exciting.

The Pioneers are coming off of an impressive 12-4 Midwest Conference record of last season.

This record was enough to get them a second place finish going in to the conference tournament in 2004. Head coach David Schultz is excited about his third year here at Carroll, “We’re looking to build on what we had last year, we’re hoping to put ourselves in a position to get to the conference championship.”

Schultz, prior to coming to Carroll, spent nine highly successful seasons as head coach of the Waukesha West High School boys basketball team. In nine seasons at West, he accumulated an overall record of 153-55. Coach was also named Wisconsin Coach of the Year in 1995.

Schultz, along with the rest of his staff including Carroll alum James Keck, Krayton Nash, and Thad Phillips, are looking forward to the numbers that turned out for this season. The Pioneers welcome back fourteen of last year’s players, including two seniors Terna Barki and Ben Hickethier. Hickethier was named to the all conference honorable mention team in the 2003-2004 season. Junior, Jason Scheper is also returning this season to Carroll after making

first team all conference during the 2003-2004 season.

The Pioneers also added to the team ten new freshmen, bringing their total number to an incredible 24 men. Schultz admits that this is a lot of guys but plans to take full advantage of the ten junior varsity games the conference allows.

“For the freshmen to play on varsity, they’ll have to be good, really good. It will be good for them to get their playing time

during the junior varsity games, we plan to schedule a lot of those games for them and take advantage of the ten the conference allows us.”

The men have been practicing for a couple weeks now and are excited about their upcoming season. The season kicks off officially, Saturday, November 27, at 4:00 p.m. during a nonconference home game versus Marian College. Marian finished last season with a 7-19 overall

record and is headed by Coach Mark Boyle for the 17th season in a row.

Carroll has at least six nonconference games scheduled before they head in to conference play versus Beloit College in January. Non-Conference match-ups include schools like UW Oshkosh, Concordia University and Carthage.

UW Oshkosh has a strong team this year returning all five of their starters from a very suc-

cessful last season. The Midwest is looking at last year’s Midwest conference champions, Lawrence, to again bring some competition to this year’s season as well as a consistently successful Ripon College team. Coach Schultz said, “We’ve got a good group, and they’re working hard.”

Coach and the rest of the team will continue to work hard in practice as they wait in anticipation and prepare for their upcoming season premier.

It was one of last warmer days of November, Saturday the 6, as the Pioneers of Grinnell and the Carroll College Pioneers squared off at Schneider Stadium for the last game of the 2004 season. Dubbed the “Pioneer Bowl,” the contest became yet another edge-of-your-seat unfortunate defeat, and the last time in uniform for five of Carroll’s Pioneers.

Carroll would run the ball, and run and run and run, with sophomore running back and offensive workhorse of the Carroll Pioneers Dan Del Monte digging up the field for 226 yards on 28 carries, including a four yard punch into the end zone 12 seconds into the second quarter.

Del Monte, dubbed “Biscuit” by his teammates freshman year, also received three touches through the air for 11 yards. For the season, “Biscuit” led the team with 732 net yards, averaging over 73 yards per game and also taking 204 total yards airborne for the season. The freshman Bryce Crocker, the other pair of Pioneer legs that rushed this season (missed final two games due to injury) would take 499 net yards for his rookie year and 10 touchdowns.

Junior wide receiver Adam Fletcher would collect the other three touchdowns and would take 10 receptions for 185 yards in Carroll’s air assault from freshman quarterback Chris Rogers.

Fletcher for the season averaged nearly 100 yards per game, averaging 13 yards per catch with

975 total yards receiving and led the team with 16 touchdowns.

During the game Rogers would throw 15 for 20 and 193 yards with 1 interception. Rogers averaged over 160 yards per game this season with over 1500 yards passing.

Senior quarterback Marcus Koronkiewicz, the last time he would ever play as a Carroll College Pioneer, rotated into the lineup and took some snaps as well, going four for seven with 42 yards. For his final season Koronkiewicz averaged over 70

yards per game and completed 64 of his 121 attempts over 8 games. Senior receiver Matt Carroll would supplement the offense in presence only during the contest, but only played six games this season and averaged over nine yards per catch and 67 total yards.

The defense of the Carroll College Pioneers would assault the offensive line of Grinnell continuously, with senior linebacker and captain Mike Leeman leading a pass-rushing assault and ending his college

career with a team-leading 11 tackles and two sacks. Sophomore linebacker Chris Albanese would strike for two sacks as well and 10 tackles and recovering a fumble he forced. For the season Leeman would lead the defense with 85 tackles followed in toe by Albanese with 83, Albanese with three total sacks for the season, Leeman with his two against Grinnell. Junior Linebacker Bill Rather would lead the team in sacks with 5 all year.

The Carroll College Pioneers finished the season 3-7

overall, 3-6 in the Midwest Conference. In a press release, Coach Voris summed up the season as follows: “We played well enough to win, but we did not capitalize on a couple key opportunities.

No question, we gave ourselves an opportunity to win each and every week in the conference.

We just need to work that much harder this off-season so next year we make that play that takes us over the top. The foundation is set we must just continue to work toward the bright future that lies ahead.”
