You’ve got Gmail?

ITS plans on move to Google platform in 2011 Luke Bennewitz Editorial Staff

Carroll plans to transition to Google Mail from Microsoft Outlook as its main email provider starting in the summer of 2011.

The switch came after a growing concern about graduating seniors not being able to keep their Carroll email address after graduation with the limited amount of storage offered through the current Microsoft Outlook email. The switch to Gmail solves this problem. “[It gives] students more e-mail storage (7.5GB) and to provide access to Google Apps,” says the Information Technology Services website.

“Another reason is to provide lifetime e-mail for Carroll graduates.”

Freshman Jorge Arreola-Arreola-Munoz had positive feedback to the change to Gmail.

“I think it’s cool,” said A r r e o l a - A r r e o l a - Mu n o z .

“Storage capacity and user friendliness are pretty important because I feel that Microsoft Outlook fails a lot.”

Freshman Alexandra Voelker ideas differed from Arreola-Munoz’s opinions of the switch.

“I don’t really care,” said Voelker. “It doesn’t really affect me.”

One of the growing concerns about switching over to Gmail came from the content that was already saved in a student’s mailbox and if that content would be switched over to G-mail.

“All existing content will be transferred, including your contact and calendar,” says the ITS website. “The only folder that will not be moved is your Drafts folder.”

ITS planned the actual switch to Gmail to be during 2011 J-term to limit the amount of actual interference with the email usage by students. However, when the student body heard about the switch happening mid-

year, there was some opposition, primarily from students graduating in 2011 and going on to graduate school and looking for employment.

Because of this, ITS sent out a survey to the entire student body to receive feedback on the timing of the switch. Based on the feedback that was received, ITS decided to postpone the transition over to Gmail until summer of 2011.

“Delaying the conversion until summer 2011 will give everyone more than enough time to start using their new @pio.carrollu.edu address when submitting applications and using your email address for other business,” says the ITS website.

“I know seniors were complaining and I think it’s legitimate… I think the postponement is fine,” said Azhar Rahman, an ITS help desk technician.

The student body seems split over the idea of a postponement until next year.

Arreola-Munoz and Voelker shared different ideas about postponing the change.

“I thought we should have done it now,” said Arreola-Munoz. “It’s going to be the same account and it’s not hard to tell your employer.”

“The postponement makes sense,” said Voelker.

“I agree with [students’] reasoning.”

Because of this postponement, ITS has received less amounts of complaints from the student body.

“I think [the complaints] have dropped significantly,” said Rahman. “I think we are good now.”

Further information on the switch to Gmail can be found on the ITS website through the Carroll University portal. Students may also email helpdesk@carrollu.edu. or call (262) 5247229 with any questions or problems.

Family weekend draws record number Jordan Reyes Editorial Staff

This past weekend, Carroll University played host to over 100 families - totaling to over 500 people. This was the most successful Family Weekend to date sponsored by Campus Activities Board (CAB).

The festivities this year were centered on the theme of “iFamily.” Each family was offered the ability to take a family portrait with their lime-green iFamily tshirts.

“It was good, especially for newer students, to get them acquainted with downtown,” said junior TJ Shannon.

On Friday, the families could participate in photos, an event similar to the popular tv show “The Amazing Race”, cupcake decorating and bingo – which featured the grand prize of a Wii game system. The “Amazing Race” event set challenges with checklists that placed families in Downtown Waukesha.

Artistic Bike Racks Wanted The newly formed Waukesha Bicycle Alliance is making a pitch for more bike racks in downtown Waukesha that also would serve as works of public art.

“The downtown needs bike parking,” said Sonia Dubielzig of Waukesha, an alliance member. The absence of correctly installed bike racks prompts many riders to use light poles, sign posts or even trees.

Dubielzig said the alliance is still seeking sources of funds for organizing both a sculptural design contest and rebate program for businesses or sponsors willing to install racks.

– Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Brookfield church separates over gay clergy Members of Calvary Lutheran Church, 1750 N. Calhoun Road, have voted overwhelmingly to leave the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the first Milwaukee-area congregation to begin severing its ties since the ELCA’s 2009 decision to allow gay and lesbian clergy.

Although the sexuality issue dominated the debate, the vote became a referendum of sorts on the ELCA’s “activist” and “social justice” agendas, according to church leaders.

The Rev. Jeff Barrow, bishop of the ELCA’s Greater Milwaukee Synod, said he was saddened, but not surprised, by the vote.

“To me, the idea of separating like-minded churches does not serve the body of Christ very well,” said Barrows. “I do believe there’s a place in our church for different points of view, so, I’m sad about that.”

Walker and Johnson score points for GOP Republicans stir anti-incumbents in Waukesha Arthur Thomas

Staff Writer The midterm elections held on Nov. 4 saw Republicans take control of both the House of Representatives and the majority of governor positions in the country. They also made gains in the U.S. Senate.

All three of these trends were manifested in the results of Wisconsin’s elections.

In Wisconsin’s race for Senator, Republican Ron Johnson took 52 percent of the statewide vote, defeating three-term incumbent Russ Feingold. While

some national pundits were surprised Feingold had such a tough election, Carroll University Associate Professor of Politics, Lilly Goren, Ph.D., was not.

“He’s always had much tighter races than Herb Kohl,” Goren said.

To her, the surprise was that Feingold never pulled closer in the race after the primaries in September.

“The money was huge,” she said. “Ron Johnson spent $8 million of his own money, the

Feingold campaign was nowhere near that.”

In the governor’s race, Republican Scott Walker also took 52 percent of the vote to defeat current Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. According to Goren, Walker’s win and gains in both the state senate and assembly will give Republicans much more control when the state’s Congressional districts are redrawn based on census results.

The planned high-speed rail between Milwaukee and Madison may also be in jeopardy as a result of Walker’s win.

“It doesn’t look good for high-speed rail,” said Goren.

“I don’t know if it’s completely dead, but it certainly doesn’t look good for it.”

The two Republicans in statewide races received nearly identical vote totals in Waukesha County with only 327 votes separating their totals according to the Waukesha County Clerk website.

While some pundits have pointed to Republican’s gains in Wisconsin as a change in the electorate since the state has gone Democratic in Presidential Elections since 1988, Goren thinks the results are indicative of Wisconsin’s true political identity.

“These are not blue states,”

she said of Wisconsin and Minnesota. “They are very deep purple. I think ultimately Wisconsin might be more conservative than Minnesota.”

The Clerk’s website also says there was an unofficial voter turnout of 72 percent for the county, which is an increase over the 61 percent that turned out in the 2006 midterm elections. According to Goren, the electorate was much older nationally than it had been in 2008. That year 18 percent of those under 30 years of age vot-

ed. In this year’s midterms that number was 12 percent.

“It was kind of dramatic how distinct that was,” Goren said. “It was a different electorate from 2008.”

In the House of Representatives, Wisconsin Republicans contributed a gain of two seats to the new majority. Sean Duffy won the seat that was held by retiring Democrat David Obey in the 7th District and Republican Reid Ribble defeated incumbent Steven Kagen in the 8th District.

202 College Ave. to face accessibility changes Unique historical property attained for future use Anne Marie Vassalotti Staff Writer

Carroll University is the adding the house located at 202 College Ave. to the school’s main campus.

Situated on the corner of Barstow and College, the house is located in what is considered a “historic district,” meaning that permission must be obtained from the Waukesha Landmark Commission before any exterior changes can be made to the house.

Some of those changes include making the building handicap accessible by adding a ramp, a new roof and repainting the exterior of the house. In order to maintain the historical character of the buildings in historic districts, a certain color palate has been developed by the Landmark Commission which Carroll followed when choosing colors.

Carroll chose to purchase this house for various reasons.

One reason was the possibility of creating more office space that would be convenient for both students and faculty.

Another reason was that the property and house were

Minor remodeling on the house is expected and students have expressed a desire to build a garden in an empty lot space.

detracting from the overall Carroll campus because of its proximity to campus. Cleaning up the property therefore became a top priority. The corner is already safer for pe-

destrians and motorists now that the hedges have been removed, a feat that was accomplished this summer as soon as the property was officially made Carroll’s.

“This will make a statement that this house is here,” said Vice-President of Finance and Administrative Services Ron Lostetter, who was in charge of presenting Carroll’s

plans to the Landmark Commission for approval. “[It will] look considerably different and yet preserve the historic nature of the home.”

The floors are almost exclusively hardwood and will need to be refinished, but in general the house is in very good condition and should not require a great deal of work. The house already has some details that make it unique, such as a fireplace and built-in shelves. The only major construction will be adding a door for handicap access. There is a garage on the property that is in relatively the same shape as the house, as well as an empty lot that was included in the purchase. There is student interest in creating a garden in that space, but for now efforts will be made towards improving the yard, house and garage.

There was a positive response towards the purchase from the neighbors as well.

According to Lostetter, the neighbors think that “…it’s nice to have students walking back and forth…it adds life to the neighborhood.”

OPINION

Letter to the Editor: Honey, art was so last year!

Dear Editor, As an ardent art student, I spend many hours and enough credits of my time slaving over projects in the classroom or on a Mac. I take pride in my art, even if it isn’t Warholworthy. But it seems to me, having taken a semester’s worth of basic and intermediate fine arts classes, that not enough students take their classes seriously.

I understand that each student has their own prerogative in class and most are fulfilling LSP V only to never visit the Humphrey Arts Center ever again during their academic career, but I don’t think it’s any excuse for the attitudes I’ve seen.

Critiques, the most important part of the class and which constitutes growth as an artist, are boring

conversations among students, most of whom don’t take enough pride in their work and don’t care to examine others’ closely.

There is a disheartening lack of discipline and exclusivity in acceptance into the art program.

Incoming students have no portfolio or skills requirements whatsoever, which to me, takes away from the integrity of Carroll’s art programs.

Also, many students are left scratching their heads at student art fees that are steep but only provide a minimal amount of supplies. Personally, I have found I can buy my own erasers, paintbrushes, ink, pencils, and paint for under $75. In other cases, fellow students of mine have professed to spending over $200 outside the class.

Where does it stop and start?

The art lab, located across from

the chapel, is a whole other story.

There are in fact two new Epson printers which are excellent for photography and electronic imagaing students; however, I have had to call ITS several times to solve printer problems and file work orders. On top of that, six iMacs are hardly enough for the number of photography and GRC majors who need to use them.

I am not the only one who would like to see an entire Mac lab built somewhere in the Humphrey Art Center as well as some functional printers. Realistically, Carroll’s art department should work to get rid of lax policies. Fine arts are not meant to be blown off, as many seem to treat it.

How do you feel about Novembeard?

Signed, Artsy & Aggravated

Point Counter-Point: Novembeard

Novembearded

Unruly hair is quite a scare

Editorial Staff

There is an old Greek saying that goes “There are two kinds of people in this world that go around beardless—boys and women, and I am neither one.” Let’s just say, especially this month, I couldn’t agree more.

For those unaware, the start of the autumnal season means one thing: No-Shave November.

No-Shave November, or more eloquently, “Novembeard”, is a monthlong effort to grow out a beard by not shaving or trimming.

More often than not it is undertaken by males.

Keep in mind, this is not an excuse to forgo grooming.

Wearing a beard has never been an excuse for not grooming.

According to “Greek and Roman Dress from A to Z”, the

“There are two kinds of people in this world that go around beardless—boys and women, and I am neither one.”

Egyptians, Greeks and Romans all shaped and trimmed their beards according to the latest fashions, as signifiers of supreme rank and masculinity, and were forced to shave as punishment.

But why do such a thing? Beards or facial hair in general, hold a certain bit of clout. Perhaps it is the inner-Egyptian in me, but a man with well-groomed facial hair is one you can trust to get things done. Hell, even some of the most influential men in history sported a beard.

Now, I’ve heard the opposite sex has complaints with the itch, but that stubble is only temporary. Think of it as the rugged Brad Pit stage of the beard, because soon after you’ll have a burly yet cozy man to curl up to.

So keep this in mind men, you have many options this November. Beards? Yes. Mustaches? Si. Sideburns? Awesome.

Stubble? Oui-oui. Mutton chops? Maybe. You’re pushing it.

In the end, just wear your facial hair with pride.

Kristina Ljujic & Jordan Reyes Editorial Staff

When in doubt, say no to the facial hair. What is its purpose?? There is none!

It is completely obnoxious that November has turned into Novembeard. Facial hair is completely annoying and itchy. To even dedicate a month to growing facial hair is obscene. I dislike when guys think it is okay to not shave their facial hair for over a week. Think about it from a girl’s point of view, having someone hug or kiss you with stubble is itchy. It always leaves you still itchy once it has happened.

Facial hair to most guys is macho, but it is really just gross.

For all that is good in the world, please shave your facial hair and leave the world stubble free. If you really cannot find it within yourself to get rid of your facial hair, at least

“I don’t mind facial hair. I like guys that don’t look like they are 12.”

--Kristina Harris Senior

Facial hair to most guys is macho, but it is really just gross. think of your significant other. I plead with all males to please not participate in Novembeard. It will make everyone happier in the world.

Why do so many people think it is cool to grow a beard in November? Could there not be something else done to celebrate November? It seems that people do it just because they can. Guys, please think about it. There is no reason to grow an extreme amount of facial hair in November or any other month. If your significant other has not already told you, listen now. Shave your beards or at least keep then short and not scruffy. Beards are not necessary! Shave them off!!

We are not cavemen! Do not try to grow facial hair to be like the cavemen on the Geico commercial. If that is your aspiration in life, you might want to rethink that.

Cavemen had a reason for facial hair; we as adaptive human beings who do not!

PioDome: Beauty and the Box Score

“I am partaking in Novembeard. It keeps me warm during deer hunting season. I’m too lazy to shave and I want to see where it will go.”

--Zach Johnson Senior

“I don’t like Novembeard. A lot of the guys look ratty with the extra facial hair..”

--Nicole Hertel Freshman

Josh DeGrasse-Baumann Editorial Staff

Let’s face it: Sports are more fun to watch than they are to read about. Watching sports is to Beauty what a box score is to the Beast.

Like the Beast, in Beaumont’s version of the tale, box scores provide a home. In the tale, the Beast provides a home for Beauty, but the box score provide a home for stats.

The stats themselves are equivalent to the servant’s in the Disney version. They aren’t Beauty or the Beast, but they are vital either way.

It’s unlikely that anyone would willingly pass up watching a game so they can read about it in the box score, just as no one would, initially, prefer the Beast over Beauty. But we’re all familiar with how the story ends.

Box scores are not attractive until you get to know them. They have to invite you to dinner over and over again before they give you their library of knowledge.

Many people won’t reach a point where they see the true value of a box score, the handsome prince the Beast

truly is.

While I’ve never personally wept over a box score and had it turn into a beautiful live game, I am comfortable with the inner beauty they posses.

Box scores are where we compare one legend to another, where we determine just where things went wrong or where they went right.

We learn our lessons from the box score, just as we all learned our lesson from the beast.

“I do not partake in Novembeard.

I would grow disgusting, patchy facial hair.”

ROUGHING IT

“Archon Classic” is a strategy game developed by React Classic that is highly similar to chess with some key variations.

The game itself is based on a 1983 version, but has been updated to appeal to modern gamers.

The most notable difference is that when a piece attempts to attack another piece, it’s not a guarantee. Both pieces must fight, with the winner claiming the spot and the loser being removed from the game. These fights are user controlled and, while simple, are often entertaining and add more strategy to the game.

Each piece has two abilities it can use in combat; usually a long range attack and some form of area damage, but there are exceptions.

As a piece wins matches, they will grow stronger and be more beneficial.

“Archon Classic” can be played against a human or the AI, depending on the user’s preference. There are 12 possible AI combinations thanks to difficulty settings and personalities.

The game is available through various outlets, notably through the Steam gaming platform and for iPods through the iTunes Store.

Ultimately, the game provides appeal for turn based and real time strategy enthusiasts alike.

For more information on the “Archon Classic” visit the game’s website at www.archonclassic.com.

REAL TIME CHESS

“Knife Music,” is likely the best coming out party of the year as it marks the debut for suspense writer David Carnoy.

Creative writer Carnoy is the Exectuive Editor at CBS Interactive where he handles the technical beats but he set aside his gadgets for the first novel of his career.

“Knife Music” follows two main characters: surgeon Ted Cogan and detective Hank Madden. A young girl, a former patient of Cogan’s, is found dead in her bathroom with incriminating evidence that points to Cogan for raping and perhaps killing her.

Each chapter alternates in time and character—from the time the incident happened to the time of the investigation, from detective to suspect and ultimately from cat to mouse.

While the characters could be more developed, and they follow their career stereotypes, they still remain likeable.

Cogan is a womanizing tool who, when asked why he is such a dick, responds with, “Well, I’ve given it some though… And this is what I’ve come up with. Really, I’m more of an ephemeral dick than a permanent dick. See, I’m only a dick when I sense someone is about to be a dick to me. I make a preemptive dick strike, so to speak.”

It’s not quite Stieg Larsson but it’s definitely recommended for those who like suspense thrillers. Also, while the characters could use more development and the story’s pace could be picked up a bit, as Carnoy’s first novel, I was impressed and look forward to more publications.

KNIFE MUSIC

For fans of both the show “Glee” and the movie “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” this is the perfect album. The cast of “Glee” performed songs sounding similar to the original music. Aside from the lyrical and musical similarities, the cast definitely had their own take on “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.”

Instead of having a male member of the cast play the lead male role, Amber Riley, whose character in “Glee” is Mercedes Jones, owned the role of the infamous Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Her vocal work was brilliant in the episode of “Glee,” which featured “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” Riley did not disappoint fans on the soundtrack either. She proves to not only be a strong singer, but a versatile performer with vast amounts of talent.

Jayma Mays, who plays Emma Pillsbury in “Glee,” got the chance for her vocal talents to be featured in the song “Touch a Touch a Touch a Touch Me.” Her vocal work sounded similar to Susan Sarandon’s work on the original version of the song. The show did a great job of working with this song by including backup vocals from Heather Elizabeth Morris and Naya Rivera.

The album, which can be found on iTunes, consists of seven songs originally featured in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” The album includes the popular song “Time Warp,” which the cast of “Glee” sang fantastically. Fans of the vocal talents found on “Glee” and music from “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” should listen to this album.

A metaphor of a bear chewing away the umbilical cord of Peter Highman’s newborn child begins and finishes off the rough-and-tumble, yet heart-warming comedy starring Robert Downey, Jr. and Zack Galifianakis called “Due Date.”

With such a winning combination of actors, along with the direction of Todd Philips (“The Hangover”), one might be expecting just as many side-splitting moments and one-liners.

Galifianakis delivers as an aspiring actor, Ethan Tremblay, who just lost his father and is secretly desparate for a road trip companion.

Highman (Downey), desparate after losing his wallet, reluctantly joins him on the cross-country drive from Atlanta to L.A. so he can get home in time for the birth of his first child.

Breathtaking shots of the Grand Canyon and Galifianakis’ memorable one-liner (“What are you, some kind of girl or something?”) are a couple of highlights.

Downey’s performance as a high-strung, easily stirred soon-tobe father wasn’t horrible, but his character tended to be over-the-top.

His anger became overwhelming at times, making you feel sorry for Tremblay (Galifianakis).

The friendship built between the two is truly sweet as Highman poses acting situations for Tremblay to help them get closer to L.A. One can look forward to a laughable, resolute ending.

When Quarterfly signed with Rock Ridge Music earlier this year, the intent was pretty clear: Release an album at a national level.

The signing will come to fruition when the band releases their third album next year. “Do You Believe” is set to be released Jan. 18.

Quarterfly has previously released two albums in the past, but their upcoming one will be their first real push into mainstream music.

The music will be appealing to fans of alternative rock, like their previous albums, but the band feels confident about their chances for success.

“This album is the strongest one so far, musically, with songwriting and expression of who we are at this moment, what we’re about,” said Kip Darby in a statement.

The album is heavily led by powerful lyrics, but the music underneath them is certainly a strength as well.

“We write all the music together,” Darby said. “Once we have the music together, I work with the melodies and as soon as I find one, I start zeroing in on the lyrics, but everybody’s got input, they can and do write lyrics, too.”

The album opens with “All Lies”

which may seem to be an odd way to open given the album’s title, but the song provides a strong start.

From there, the album moves into its title track which provides a strong sense of desperation to create what may be the most emotional song of the album.

The first half of the album closes with “Between the Lines,” another song where the singer pleads, though this time a little angrier than before. The song provides for a solid midpoint for the album and certainly keeps the listener interested.

The album ends with “Last Chance” where the singer, apparently fed up, offers one final ultimatum.

“Is this the last chance for us or is it over,” questions the chorus. Musically, this is probably the catchiest song of the album.

Overall, the 10 track album lasts about 36 minutes.

Whether or not the album will be successful in mainstream music won’t be determined for a few more months, but the band is certainly doing everything in their power for a chance at success.

ups& downs Josh DeGrasse-Baumann

The whos and whats of hos

Hosting duties for the 2010 Midwest Conference Women’s Soccer Championship fell to Carroll University after the team posted an 8-1 conference record to earn first place.

The first match of the weekend, however, was Lawrence University against Lake Forest College. The game saw seven total goals, but Lawrence ultimately defeated the Foresters thanks to a hat trick by Mallory Koula to advance to the championship game.

The Lady Pioneers took on Monmouth College later that day for a very different match.

Lauren Demski netted a goal in the 35th minute thanks to an assist

by Amanda Leach. It would turn out to be the only goal of the game.

With the championship matchup set, the final Midwest Conference game of the season kicked off at 5 p.m. in front of an estimated crowd of about 120 people.

Sarah Tennant started the game off on the right foot by netting a goal just 51 seconds in.

The early lead wouldn’t last long, however, as Koula scored her fourth goal of the tournament to tie the game at 1-1 after an assist by Sarah Ehlinger in the sixth minute.

Koula would score again 13 minutes later to give Lawrence a 2-1 lead at halftime.

Carroll’s best opportunity to tie the game came in the 64th minute when Cody Callender was awarded a penalty kick.

Unfortunately, Callender’s shot bounced off the post and was quickly cleared away by the Vikings.

Koula’s goal earlier turned out to be the deciding point of the game, preventing the Lady Pioneers from a fourth straight NCAA Division III Tournament appearance. “[E]ven though none of us expected it to end last night, it did and we have to accept that,” Callender said. “We played our hearts out and left it all on the field.”

Callender was part of the last three Lady Pioneer trips to the NCAA Tournament.

Despite the loss, the future looks bright for the team.

“Even though the team is losing a few key players, they still have an extremely strong lineup of returning players,” Callender said. “I am not worried one bit about the success of the team in the future.”

As the athletic season was just beginning to get underway at the beginning of the fall semester, planning for potential tournaments had already begun.

“I always try to prep for hosting any tournament for any sport by reserving it in the scheduling database and start planning for staffing,” said Michael Schulist, the sports information director for Carroll University.

Schulist said he reserves the spots early in the year to make sure they’re available if a tournament needs to be hosted. If he waits until later in the season, the area for the event might be reserved for something else.

While the athletic department won’t know for sure if they’re hosting a tournament until the end of the season, Schulist said it’s always good to be prepared.

“Going into the season, always plan to host and try to keep positive,” Schulist said. “[Hosting a tournament] is always a positive for the institution, so you always want to host,” he said. “It means your teams are succeeding and it makes the atmosphere a lot better.”

The caveat, however, is that a tournament adds another dimension of work for the athletics department.

“The conference put most of the responsibility on the hosting institution,” Schulist said.

For soccer in the Midwest Conference, the team that claims the regular season championship is responsible for hosting the conference tournament.

Since Carroll’s women’s soccer team finished first in regular season play, Carroll inherited the responsibility.

Unfortunately, most of the specifics of the tournament won’t be clear until the very end of the season.

There was a chance for Carroll to host the men and women tournaments for soccer, as was the case in 2009.

However, hosting duties of the men’s tournament was clinched by Ripon College Oct. 30, less than a week before the tournament would begin.

Since Carroll had to wait until the last game of the men’s soccer season

to determine if they were hosting one or both tournaments, the athletics department could only make preliminary plans for both scenarios.

“As soon as that final conference game is set, we start planning,” Schulist said.

The tournament was scheduled for the weekend of Nov. 5. It would be a busy weekend for Pioneer athletics because the football team also played their final game of the season at home.

“The first thing we did was make the decision to move the football game from 1 p.m. to noon,” said Athletic Director Joe Baker.

The decision may sound simple, but it had to be approved by both teams and the Midwest Conference Commissioner’s Office. Ultimately, it was approved and the athletics department could get the new time out well in advance.

Baker is in his first year as Carroll’s athletic director, having previously held the same position at the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse. La Crosse competes in a different athletic conference.

“I had to read the conference bylaws on championships,” said Baker.

“Things were pretty much the same [as the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference].”

After becoming more familiar with the bylaws, Baker and the athletics department could finally make progress in their hosting plans.

“I pretty much oversee everything with the multiple job titles I have here,” Schulist said. “Staffing, event setup and sports information fall under me.”

Schulist, in addition to being the sports information director, is also responsible for managing student workers and the events crew.

“Staffing is a collaborative effort amongst the whole athletic department,” he said.

From the athletic department’s student workers to various team volunteers and even a campus-wide search for help, the tournament’s event crew

sting a MWC Tournament was formed. Typically, only a handful of workers are needed for an athletic event, but a tournament requires more.

For a soccer game, workers are needed for ball shagging, manning the concession stand, noting player substitutions and recording stats. The tasks remain relatively unchanged for tournament play, but the pressure increases.

“Event setup falls with the fellows,” Schulist said.

The athletics department has four fellows specifically designated to manage events. They are trained before the year for how to setup for sporting events and tournaments. They are responsible for setting up the field, ensuring the event staff are working efficiently and basic overall management of the event.

“We have to relay some work orders to custodial and grounds,” he said.

Mostly, the athletics department is self-sufficient with their facilities, but they are still Carroll property and still fall under the service management of the school. As long as the field is in good shape and the bleachers are clean, most of the work can be done by the department itself, but there are always exceptions.

Once all the planning is done, the tournament begins. The women’s tournament had an 11 a.m. kickoff Nov. 5, meaning Schulist and the event fellows started working at around 8 a.m. With two games on the schedule for the day, their day wouldn’t end until much later that night.

With the football game at noon and the tournament championship match at 5 p.m., the events crew had about an hour to convert the field from football to soccer. For the most part, this just means moving benches and setting up goals and corner flags, but they also have to ensure the field and bleachers are clean and the field is in fit condition to be used again.

When the final game kicked off, the athletics department can begin to think about a successful tournament.

There’s still work to be done, of course,

but they’ve done what they can to ensure the tournament is a success.

“Hosting a tournament is a reward for your team for what they’ve accomplished throughout the season,” said Baker.

To host a successful tournament, however, is a reflection on the team, the athletics department and the campus as a whole.

“I have to thank members of the campus community,” Baker said. “We want to thank everyone who came out to support the team.”

The final events crew consisted of student workers, volunteer athletes, professors and even business and administrative staff. Added together with fans attending the game, the tournament became more of a campus-wide initiative rather than just an athletics department one.

“People will congratulate me on what good teams we have,” Baker said.

“I’ll tell them that it’s not about me.

Go tell them. I didn’t tackle anyone today. I didn’t score any goals.”

Baker was responsible for presenting the trophy to the tournament winner. He was somewhat reluctant.

“It’s not about me,” Baker said.

“It’s about [the players].”

The tournament, according to Baker, is not about the athletics administration. It’s about the teams, the fans and the games.

“Fans come to the game with an expectation that everything’s perfect,” Baker said. “Rightfully so, they are not aware of all the things that go in to making that happen.”

If any tournament is going to be successful, then most fans won’t be aware of the work going on behind the scenes.

“I always say that the average fan, when they show up at the game, they have no idea what went into that game. They just see the lights on, the scoreboard on, 11 people [each] with two different color uniforms on and 3 people with odd colored uniforms on.” Baker said.

“Okay, that’s the way it’s supposed to be.”

After a slow start to the season, the Pioneer men’s soccer team marched through the first round of the Midwest conference with a 3-1 win over Ginnell College.

Grinnell opened the scoring by converting a penalty kick in the 13th minute. Carroll would tie the score seven minutes later with a Jordan Wickman goal. The goal was assisted by Andy Ksobiech.

The score would remain tied until the 79th minute when Steve Koprowski netted the eventual game winner. Koprowski would score again with under five minutes left in the game to seal the win.

Ripon defeated Lawrence 4-3 in a shootout after a 1-1 double overtime finish to join Carroll in the championship match.

Ksobiech netted an early goal at the 9:28 mark to give Carroll a 1-0 lead against Ripon, who handed the Pioneers their only conference loss in the regular season. He was assisted by Koprowski.

Ripon’s Matthew Lange knotted the score at 1-1 in the 23rd minute. Zach Hershoff assisted the goal.

As the game drew closer to the end of regulation, it appeared overtime would be required to determine the outcome of the tournament.

As the clock ticked through the 86th minute, Wickman found Marc Hietpas who netted a dramatic go-ahead goal. The Pioneers would hold the lead for the remaining few minutes to guarantee themselves a spot in the NCAA Division III Tournament.

“I’m very proud of this team. The guys kept plugging along all year and worked their butts off to have a successful season,” said Head Coach Rick Mobley.

Carroll’s opponent for the first round in the NCAA Tournament was determined in the Nov. 8 selection show. The Pioneers drew the University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh, who went 16-0-3 in the regular season. “[W]e have just as good a shot as anyone,” said Mobley. “The only thing I know for sure is that we are going to play hard no matter who we play.”

The first round of the tournament will be held in Oshkosh, Wis., Nov. 12 and 13. Kickoff is at 5 p.m.

CORE provides outdoor rec, rentals for adventurers Arthur W. Thomas Staff Writer

College students do not always have a lot of money, which can make getting involved in outdoor activities difficult. Luckily for Carroll University students, the Carroll Outdoor Recreation Education program (CORE) offers rental equipment for low prices.

“It’s part of an effort by the university to expand offerings for students and keep students on campus or engaged in campus related activities,” said Dan Gray, Outdoor Recreation Coordinator.

Outdoor recreation presents an opportunity for students to exercise in a different manner.

“A lot of the activities we do are you challenging yourself,” said Assistant Professor of Recreation Management Stephen Danhoff. “It’s you against the rock wall, that’s the benefit of outdoor recreation.”

Gray was able to fill a large storage room with outdoor recreation equipment.

Among the items available for students to rent are kayaks, canoes, snowshoes, crosscountry skis, tents and rock climbing gear.

The Outdoor Adventure Club has already used the kayaks for their service project. “[Gray] was really helpful,” said junior Melanie Wagner. “I think it’s an awesome idea that we have equipment for students to use. I will definitely be using the climbing equipment.”

Offering low price equipment rentals is only one part of what CORE does; the other function it serves is to take students on trips. Last school year, the program ran a downhill skiing trip to Cascade Mountain and also took 22 students to the Grand Canyon over Spring Break.

On Nov. 20, Gray will be taking students on a trip to Ledge View Nature Center in Chilton and the Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan. Students will be able to go caving and see outdoor themed

art for only $5, the cost of the trip.

Gray said he currently has 7 to 10 students signed up for the caving trip.

“We’re still in the takeoff phase,” he said. “Knowledge of it is slowly starting to spread.”

CORE is not a membership organization; rather it is open to any student on campus. According to Gray the trips the program ran last spring had a wide variety of students and he hopes to offer a wide variety of trips in the future “We’re open to suggestions,” Gray said. “We want to offer things that appeal to students.”

He went as far as to say that international trips were possible in the future.

“I don’t think anything is ruled out.”

While details of other trips have not been worked out, Gray has plans for trips for the rest of the year.

This winter he hopes to organize an ice climbing trip or even an overnight one to Minnesota. As a follow up to last year’s Grand Canyon trip, he wants to take students to the Ozarks.

According to Danhoff, there are plenty of opportunities in Wis. for outdoor recreation. Among those Danhoff suggests are Adventure Rock in Pewaukee, the Glacier-Drumlin Trail near Carroll, Lapham Peak in Delafield, Devil’s Lake in Madison and the Wolf River near Appleton.

“There’s not only a ton of things you can do with outdoor rec,” said Danhoff.

“You can also learn a lot.”

Even around the Waukesha area, Danhoff sees plenty of opportunities. He cited the Kettle Moraine System as one example of a way students can learn about the history of the state.

“There are places destroyed by human contact that have been put back to their natural state,” said Danhoff.

Carroll Players Heather Markovich Editorial Staff

Carroll University’s theatre organization, The Carroll Players, is looking to instill an attitude of ‘work and play’ in its members for the 2010-2011 year.

Senior Justin Almquist took on the role of president for the organization after the graduation of last year’s president, Keith Smith.

Since the beginning of the fall semester in September, the Players have been busy planning and moving forth with multiple projects and outings.

The 24-Hour Show, which took place on Sept.18, saw a successful performance, with one of the largest turnouts in years, said Almquist. The club also traveled to Milwaukee for the Oriental Theatre’s midnight showing of “Rocky Horror Picture Show” on Oct. 30.

“We’re trying to see more shows as an organization,” said Almquist. “It’s beneficial for our members to get a diverse experience in the performance arts.”

Future plans for the Players include attending Comedy Sportz in Milwaukee to learn more about improvisational acting, and the possible trip to Chicago later next semester to attend a couple performances and visit museums.

“We also hope to restart the Fashion Show that has been held in past years, and are in talks with the Black Student

Union and looking to get Q&A involved,” said Almquist.

With attendance slipping at club meetings, Almquist has sought a new direction for the layout of business those evenings. Every other week no business discussed and rather, a Fun Night will take place.

The first Fun Night was a success, playing on the topic of ‘Unleashing the Inner Child’, allowing members to play games of hide-and-seek, build forts or participate in other childlike play. Most recently, a Halloween dance was held. Almquist would like to build even moreso upon the first ‘Inner Child’ idea, though, given its rousing turnout.

“I’d like to try to do [these] more often,” said Almquist. “Drawing and coloring, fort making…make people happy. How often do you get to do that in college?”

The Carroll Players meetings are at 9 p.m. on Tuesdays, and are open to any student on campus, regardless of major.

“I see the Players as welcoming arms into the theatre,” said Almquist. “You meet people here. We’re a resource, not just a driving force behind productions.

We keep up the much needed interest in theatre.”

HiTech Corner: SpeechFocus.com disappoints Heather Markovich

Editorial Staff Palms sweaty, knees weak, your classmates’ eyes glued on your every move. You’ve been there, you know it.

It’s speech time.

As a college student, the preparation and, finally, presentation of a speech can be one of the most grueling and nerve-racking situations, regardless of whether the speaker is characterized as shy or outgoing.

To help students develop this skill, a new website has been recently launched

that allows students to get an idea of the public speaking experience without ever having to leave their computers.

SpeechFocus.com is a website based upon the concept of simulation training.

Similar types of training are used across many majors including nursing, computer technology and the sciences.

The website contains a series of videos of classrooms, allowing the potential speaker the ability to practice their speech or presentation in front of something similar to what

they’d experience in their actual classrooms.

In addition to the simulated classrooms, the website also offers an array of resources for students to use while researching, organizing and delivering their presentations.

While an interesting idea, the idea of an online simulated classroom speech experience falls short. First of all, the video is in a constant loop, so some students never look up. In one video, a girl’s foot continually moved in the same pattern.

Second, even blowing the video up to full

screen still leaves it relatively unbelieveable. Third, the panic-factor seems to be less given the fact that the video is of random strangers. Many students will admit that their fear of speeches originates from having to speak in front of their peers.

While taking the time to practice your speech in front of friends or family still remains, probably, a more beneficial idea, the website remains a good alternate for students who would prefer an experience with strangers.

SAD: Feeling Blue Lately?

Anne Marie Vassalotti Staff Writer

+

Feeling down? That’s not a surprise, considering that this is the time of year that seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, can begin to affect people. Symptoms generally start in the fall and go into the winter months, including depression, anxiety, loss of energy, oversleeping, weight gain and appetite changes such as craving carbohydrates.

We all have days that we feel down, but if you have these symptoms for consecutive days in a row it might be time to see a doctor because they could lead to more serious symptoms. So, what can you do? Light boxes and medications can be prescribed, but some home remedies work just as well. If you find yourself feeling down, try the ideas listed below.

Anyone can be diagnosed with SAD but it is more common in women, those who live in areas where winter days are very short (such as Wisconsin), those who have a family history of SAD and people between the ages of 15 and 55.

If you find you’re still feeling depressed even after trying these ideas, it may be time to talk with your doctor about alternative options, such as light therapy and antidepressants.

There are actually two types of light therapy: light boxes and dawn simulation. Light boxes use fluorescent lights that are brighter than normal indoor lights but not as bright as sunlight. This type of therapy is generally prescribed for a specific amount of time each day. Dawn simulation is done as you sleep; a low-intensity light is timed to go on at a certain time in the morning before you wake up, gradually becoming brighter. Light boxes can be on the pricier side however, so trying any of the home remedies listed above should really be your first step.

Antidepressants can effectively treat depression in people with SAD and can be used alone or in addition to light therapy.

Staying informed is the best way to stay on top of any problems you may develop; check out www.webmd.com for more information or contact your doctor.

• Make your room sunnier and brighter. Open blinds and sit closer to your windows.

• Go outside. Find an outdoor activity to engage in, go for a walk with a friend, play Frisbee or just sit outside and soak up the sun.

• Exercise. Physical activity, especially in the morning, helps relieve stress and anxiety, both of which can increase SAD symptoms.

• Socialize. Stay connected with people you enjoying being around. They can offer support or a joke to boost your spirits.

‘Disappeared’ photo series arrives at Rowe Gallery provokes wonder Kristina Ljujic Editorial Staff

Hans Gindlesberger, a Milwaukeebased artist, will have his “Disappeared” series at Carroll University through Nov. 23.

Gindlesberger is an adjunct assistant professor in the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s photography program, and has had the opportunity to co-organize the “Artists Now!” visiting artists lecture series there.

His “Disappeared” photograph series is a collection of digitally created images from scenes of several locations.

“I’ve traveled throughout different Rust Belt states and collected an archive of images, sometimes with a particular intention but most often without,” said Gindlesberger.

He said that the work was highly influenced by his experience in the Midwest, and that it takes a deeper look into the individual and his environment.

Each photograph in the series consists of several different images. Gindlesberger said that the process in which he creates the images allows for new meanings and stories to become present in the series.

“The construction itself is important to the intention of the series in that the performance always takes place separately from the scene in the photograph,” said Gindlesberger.

Gindleberger’s wife, a formerCarroll faculty member, showed his work to Rowe Art Gallery Director and Assistant Art Professor, Peggy Farrell. Farrell was impressed by the work and decided to bring the series to campus.

“His work is thought provoking, and is something our students should see,” said Farrell. “I find the work quite inventive.”

Every photograph in the series draws viewers in and makes them wonder about the meaning and significance behind the photographs. In one photograph, a man slides down the slide; while another features that same man painting a wall white.

The man featured in the photographs is always in a different location, which according to Gindlesberger, shows that he is being displaced by the changing identity of the environment. Smalltown and post-industrial landscapes are the base of the series.

“I hope that the images individually create a space in which the viewers can project themselves, and let the dialogue between them and the image serve as a catalyst in re-considering their own sense of place,” said Gindlesberger.

The “Disappeared” series will be on display in the Rowe Art Gallery inside the Humphrey Art Center until Nov. 23. The series is free and open to the public.

Local Shala draws studentss Huyen Do

Staff Writer

PJ’s Yoga Shala is found nestled in a quiet corner of Main Street, right across from Waukesha’s Goodwill.

Here, a community of yogis come together to practice authentic, ancient Ashtanga yoga--a flow yoga that aims to connect movement and breath, body and mind.

One would be hard-pressed to find this gem of a place. As someone who has been flirting with yoga for several years but never really gotten serious about it, I came to the shala for the first time with mixed feelings of excitement and uncertainty. The shala was a clean, friendly and welcoming space filled with happy-looking folks that managed to instantly set me at ease.

“It is a real community here. It’s amazing how yoga can bring people from such diverse walks of life, age groups, genders and varying degrees of flexibility to all come together and practice. Everyone is very committed, to the regular practice, to PJ and to each other,” said Associate Professor Amy Cropper, who has been a dedicated yogi for a number of years.

PJ is a very passionate yogi who has studied with the real Ashtanga gurus in Mysore, India. He is a kind and attentive instructor who constantly challenges his students and so allows them to see beyond their innate limit-

ed belief of what their body is truly capable of doing.

“The shala really is like yoga school in that you come here not only to practice but also to learn about so much more about yoga, beyond the mere physical level. And once you become a student of PJ’s, you’re his student for life,” Cropper said.

Do not be fooled by its seemingly gentle and effortless appearance, flow yoga is an arduous and very lively practice that rarely fails to make you sweat, your heart thump and your muscles sore the next day. More importantly, though, the practice of yoga will bring you to a point of intense focus and great inner awareness-- it’s essentially a moving meditation.

At PJ’s shala, Mysore classes are those in which you can take your time and move at your own pace and the teacher will come around the room to help you refine the postures. There are advanced classes at a faster pace or beginners’ classes for those who are new to yoga. The best thing about the shala is that college students like myself benefit from a great discount program should they wish to come here and practice with only $8 for drop-ins or $80 per month.

PJ’s Yoga Shala is located 1826 E. Main St. and more information can be found at www.pjsyogashala.com.

Jacobsen: Women’s Athlete Spotlight: Lyndsey Seewald’s passion as point-guard hoops has experience Josh DeGrasse-Baumann

Marty Pitzer Staff Writer

Photo by Marty Pitzer

Lyndsey Seewald, a senior from Coleman, Wis., is one of Carroll’s premier basketball athletes. Her competitive attitude for the game has earned her the point guard position on the team by being one of the most consistent players they have.

Her love and passion for the game goes back to when she started playing in the 4th grade.

This passion carried through high school where she played volleyball, softball and basketball, but basketball remained her first love.

To put her priorities into perspective, the passion isn’t all about winning.

“The feeling when you win is the greatest, but even when you lose you learn something,” Seewald said.

Majoring in psychology and working in the athletic department as a timesheet fellow along with playing basketball, including training during the off season, has filled her schedule. Her goal is to attend graduate school at the University of Denver, one of the top schools for sports.

Her inspiration from her teammates and coach motivated her to have a long term goal in coaching college basketball someday. Seewald is hoping graduate school gives her the experience and knowledge to someday become an effective coach.

“With a psychology degree, I am hoping to help players get out of their heads and into the game,” she said.

Despite her busy sched-

ule, Seewald manages to find time to decompress with music. She enjoys playing her guitar to help her relax and clear her mind.

“Lyndsey is a perfectionist that always looks to improve her game,” said Kris Jacobsen, the head coach for women’s basketball. “That is one of the reasons she was chosen to be the team leader by the other players.”

Jacobsen went on to say that Seewald helps organize community events for the team.

“She is an outstanding athlete with an impeccable work ethic,” said Jacobsen.

This confident, well rounded and balanced player is the one fans should keep their eyes on this season. Her height may be smaller than most players, but she compensates with her love of basketball.

“Lyndsey is a perfectionist that always looks to improve her game.”

-- Coach Kris Jacobsen

Editorial Staff For the second year in a row, the Lady Pioneer basketball team will open the season against Lakeland College. They also played Lakeland for their second game of the season in the 2008-2009 season.

“Each time [we’ve played Lakeland in the last few years], we’ve had significant leads and lost each game,” Head Coach Kris Jacobsen said.

In the 2008-2009 season, the Lady Pios led Lakeland 42-29 at halftime, but saw the game slip away second half where they were outscored 50-33. The 2009-2010 season opener saw a four point halftime lead turn into an eight point overtime loss.

Carroll travels to Sheboygan, Wis. Nov. 15 to face the Muskies.

Following the trip to Lakeland, Carroll will host Millikin University for their home-opener Nov. 17.

The team is coming off two consecutive 13-10 seasons, finishing 8-8 in the Midwest Conference last year.

“Most of our issue and areas we needed to work on kind of blended those two seasons together with some disappointments,” Jacobsen said.

This season, however, the Pioneers feel confident.

“We’ve had, probably in my thirteen years, the best preseason conditioning program and dedicated athletes to commit to being better,” Jacobsen said. “That was evident when we were able to finally start practice.”

The Lady Pioneers are returning 12 members from last year’s team including senior Lyndsey Seewald and junior Janelle Groer, Carroll’s top two leading scorers.

Seewald was also named first team All-Midwest Conference last season.

The only two freshmen are Emily DeNoyer and Margo Rosandick “The definite keys this year will be experience and leadership,” Jacobsen said. “We’ve got both and that’s definitely a combination you need to be successful.”

Jacobsen also feels confident that the team will benefit from their time together over the past few years.

“There a strong team chemistry but when they’re on the court, all bets are off,” Jacobsen said.

Casper sets school record in final game for Pioneers

The Pioneers bounce back from an overtime loss to Monmouth with a 40-7 trouncing of Grinnell.

Carroll University suffered a heartbreaking 16-13 loss in overtime against Monmouth College all but ending the Pioneers’ hopes for a Midwest Conference Championship.

The Pioneers took a 13-0 advantage into the fourth quarter but gave up two touchdowns in the final period to allow the game to go into overtime.

“We played, overall, a very good game for about three quarters, offensively, defensively and special teams,” Carroll Head Coach Henny Hiemenz said. “We certainly gave ourselves an opportunity to win the game but didn’t.

Disappointed to say the least.”

Carroll missed a field goal in their half of the overtime period, giving Monmouth the opportunity to win it with a field goal of their own.

Carroll controlled every aspect of the game against Monmouth. The Pioneers outgained the Fighting Scots 354 to 266 with 100 yards more on the ground. The running game was well balanced with Drew Volkmann leading the way with 64 yards on 19 carries. Joe Beckstrand also had 19 carries and 60 yards. Quarterback Chris Casper had 58 yards on 13 carries and Carroll’s only rushing touchdown.

Behind the rushing game Carroll controlled the clock holding the ball for 40 minutes against the Fighting Scots.

“That is kind of part of who we are. Last I heard we were leading the nation in time of possession. It’s just a little of who we have become as an offense.”

Hiemenz said.

Casper also threw for 173 yards on 19-33 passing with a touchdown and an interception.

Nate Soddy was Casper’s favorite target with 5 receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown.

The defense did everything they were asked to do until the final few minutes when they allowed Monmouth to tie the game.

“If we make one more play, offense, defense or special teams we win the game.” Hiemenz said. “One first down on offense, one more stop on defense. We had a punt blocked, missed an extra point and missed a field goal in overtime.”

Carroll responded from the tough overtime loss dismantling Grinnell College 40-7 in the season finale.

The Pioneers broke the game open in the second quar-

ter after the first quarter saw no points put on the board. Nate Soddy caught a 32 yard touchdown reception from Chris Casper to get the scoring started. Casper would hook up with Soddy again from 49 yards to make it 14-0. Casper added two more passing touchdowns, one to CJ Wellington, the other to Matt Cain to make it 27-0 at halftime.

Carroll extended the lead to 40-0 after Casper hit Wellington again threw another touchdown to Kyle Galas.

Casper finished the game with 293 yards on 18-29 passing with 6 touchdowns. The final touchdown pass of his colligate career set a new school record for most passing touchdowns in a game.

Joe Beckstrand added 63 yards on 18 carries for the Pioneers.

Grinnell finally got on the board in the 4th quarter to keep Carroll from notching their third shutout of the season.

The defense performed well again only giving up 207 yards and forcing Grinnell into 4-17 on third downs and stopping Grinnell all four times on fourth down.

The Pioneers finished the season 6-3 in conference and 7-3 overall giving Carroll a tie for second in the Midwest Conference.

“That’s the second time in three years we have won seven games. Things like that don’t happen around here too often,” Hiemenz said. “The neat thing for our seniors, they have won 24 games in their four years which is the third highest total ever.”

Men’s hoops prepares for season with UW-M exhibition match Stu Weis

MEN’S BASKETALL Overall: 0-0 Conference: 0-0 UPCOMING GAMES

Staff Writer The Pioneers seek their eighth straight conference tournament appearance after finishing as the runner up in the tournament last season.

Carroll will need all hands on deck to replace the now graduated John Hoch. Last season, Hoch was second in assists and scoring in the nation and earned Division III All-America honors. He also accounted for nearly a third of Carroll’s points and nearly half of the total assists. The only other player lost to graduation was Eric Thompson, who was the team’s third leading scorer and a big three-point threat for Carroll.

Head Coach Dave Buchanan said it will take a committee effort to replace Hoch.

“You can’t replace John, you have to enjoy him while you have him,” he said. “We will do it by committee, which will make us tougher to scout and tougher to defend.”

He listed some potential candidates to make a big impact such as Kevin Herd, a vocal leader, Taylor Jansen, a veteran and a leader and Mitch Tordoff, a transfer from UWPlatteville, who could take some of the pressure off the team after losing Hoch. Buchanan added, however, that the key is to keep control of the ball and not create turnovers, something Hoch was very good at.

Carroll has two obstacles heading into this season. The first is their lack of experience.

Thirteen of the team’s nineteen players are underclassmen. Buchanan said that there will be growing pains in the early part of the season, but he feels the team is very mentally mature which will help them in the early part of the season.

Another helpful element to their maturation will be that the first five games and six of the first seven are at home.

This will be a good chance for the coaching staff to mix and match lineups with the cushion of the home crowd to figure out the best match-ups. The home games also benefit the freshmen because it allows them to get acclimated to college without having to worry about travel days and takes some of the burden off of the student aspect of a student-athlete.

The downside is the back half of the schedule is virtually all road games, with five of the last six on the road for the final stretch.

The other obstacle for Carroll is St. Norbert. The Green Knights lost only one player from their NCAA Tournament team, earning them the 10th spot in the national rankings for Division III. Carroll has a very tough test early in the season after the home stretch by
