Hope Center ‘Socks it to Poverty’ Heather Markovich Editorial Staff

When AmeriCorps VISTA Volunteer Coordinator Katy Launius pulled in to the parking lot at The Hope Center on East Avenue for a meeting on Carroll University’s involvement in their Sock to Poverty event, the lot at the community outreach center was nearly bursting at the seams and she fought to find room for her car. “I was shocked that there was this much need that close to campus,” Launius said. The Hope Center, which was formerly a funeral home and is located across from The Women’s Center, can easily be missed just four blocks from Carroll. But out of this small house, a wallto-wall array of services are coordinated that provide basic needs such as financial assistance, clothing and food to anyone of need in all of Waukesha County. The Hope Center, which affectionately calls itself a ‘social ministry,’ has served nearly 230 individuals at its Monday-Friday drop-in shelter since the beginning of this year and has seen this number exponentially increasing each month. In addition, the small building houses a no-charge clothing shop featuring sorted and high quality donated clothes. Any clothes that are not taken are recycled to third-world countries. Since the first of the year, nearly 4,000 individuals have visited the shop. Also in building is a free meal program, serving hot and nutritious meals three days a week, and in the last month about 1,500 meals have been served. Food is brought in from local caterers, the U.S. Government State Coalition, CDBG block, local churches and has even received funding from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation. On multiple occasions, Chartwells has been involved in meal offerings. Other notable services offered include Project Move in which donated furniture is delivered to those in need, rent assistance and a child care service at First Baptist Church. With the exception of the child care, all services through the Hope Center are free of charge; not a cent leaves the clients’ hands. “We offer services like these to help people on the low end of the spectrum so they can have the ability to save for other necessities,” Executive Director Ralph Zick said. Run by only four full-time staff members, with nearly 400600 active regular volunteers, the Hope Center is a safe and secure place for Waukesha County civilians in need of the assistance. “This place is also just a giant social gathering for those who have nowhere else to go,” Director of Operations Roy Cheesman said. In cooperation with the Hope Center, Carroll University will be sponsoring a Sock it to Poverty event Oct. 13-22 as a fundraiser for the small, but exceptionally busy, social ministry center. During Sock it to Poverty students will be asked to collect any spare change they may have during the week and place it in a sock. Socks will be given out by Residence Life at the beginning of the week and a table will be set up in the Campus Center. Students are allowed to use clean socks of their own if they wish to do so; as long as they don’t have any Data from U.S. Census holes. At the end of the week, socks will then be collected and all proceeds will go to the Hope Center. “If we had all students and staff donate even $1, think of what a huge difference that could make,” Launius said. “Even just the change at the bottom of [your] purse could make a difference.” “After realizing just the sheer amount of services provided by the Hope Center, it’s stunning to see how easy it is to drive by agencies like these close to [Carroll] that offer all this,” Launius said. “…and now I can understand why the parking lot was so crowded.” Indeed the Hope Center has shown great potential as a guiding and helpful force in the world of Waukesha County’s needy. “This is a true Phoenix here,” Cheesman said. “We’ve taken this small building that was once a simple funeral home and are now supplying hope and future.”

15,338 people of Waukesha live in poverty. That means 1 in 25 people are below the standard living.

For the first time in nearly five years, the Alumni Art Exhibition has returned to Carroll University and is already looking better than ever, according to event organizer and Assistant Professor of Art Peggy Farrell. The exhibition was originally created with the intention of maintaining a lasting connection with Carroll alumni and check ing up on their ongoing careers. Featured in the exhibit are works from various mediums including photography, oil paints, water colors, mixed media productions, sculptures and copper work. Art works are produced by alumni of graduating classes as early as 1968 and as late as 2008, displaying a long legacy of successful Carroll artistry. In addition to each piece being labeled with information about the artwork, they are also labeled with information concerning the artist. Explanations

consist of what type of work the artists do, their favorite mediums to work in and even their favorite classes. A notable piece at the exhibit, “Welcome to the Machine,” features jagged, mechanical rod looking objects marked by dark tones of grey against a black background. It was created by Erik Grau who was an alum that graduated in the class of 2008 and now resides in Boston. Earlier pieces included the David A. Powell’s “Loose Marbles,” a wood-work sculpture. Powell graduated with the class of 1968. His sculpture resembles a human brain constructed primarily of wood, marked by the presence of objects such as springs, drill bits and a camera lens, reflecting Powell’s style of using found objects in his work. While there is certainly a lot of variation in style from piece to piece, Farrell noted that all fea-

tured works of art have gotten very positive reactions this year. “This year’s exhibit is stronger even than past years’ exhibits I think,” Farrell said. “It’s got a lot more creativity, more innovation.” A reception will be held on Saturday, Oct. 2, from 10 a.m.noon and is a part of Homecoming festivities. At 11 a.m., Carroll art faculty will present on the art program, and Associate Professor Amy Cropper will discuss her mixed media drawings, displayed in the Rowe Art Gallery Sept. 7 to Oct. 3. In addition to the Carroll reception on Oct. 2, there will be a tour of three Waukesha art galleries owned by alumni, as part of the Waukesha Art Crawl. Be sure to check out the exhibition which is located on the bottom level of the Rowe Art Gallery and runs from Sept. 18 through Oct. 16.

Pio II promises to be bigger and better Marty Pitzer Staff Writer

The construction of the second Pioneer Hall located on Grand Ave. will be completed by next year, according to Area/Resident Director Amanda Schellinger. The new student residential hall, which is not yet named, is planned to be open for the fall 2011 semester. “The ever increasing student population has created a need for more housing which will help accommodate the overflow students that live offcampus due to a shortage of space,” said Schellinger. The new building will be furnished with a cafeteria through Chartwells to help serve students with meal cards as well as other commercial shops facing Grand Ave. on the first level containing 11,000 feet of retail space. According to Schellinger, the first floor will also include a separate, secured residential entrance on the west end facing the tracks.

There are no plans as to what types of stores or restaurants will be occupying the commercial space at this point. The benefit for students is the location convenience of commercial space for shopping and potential jobs. This will bring students in from remote sites the university has contracted through to help accommodate the overflow of the ever increasing student population, according to Schellinger. Pio II, as it is affectionately called until a name is assigned, will accommodate 230 beds; mostly four- bedroom units. There are plans for additional parking spaces above ground as well as another underground parking structure. Unfortunately, there will still not be enough parking spaces to accommodate all the students. With limited parking already an issue, this will not resolve the increasing shortage of parking with the increase in student enrollment. Accord-

ing to Schellinger, the university is aware of the parking issue and is continually looking for answers to resolve that issue. Pio II will be similar to Pioneer Hall, but past issues with the original have helped plan and design Pio II better from the start. Water softener and window problems along with sign shortages for hallways will be retrofitted in Pioneer Hall while Pio II is being constructed. “With all new construction there is bound to be a few problems. We are learning from Pio I’s problems so they do not happen with the Pio II hall,” Schellinger said. The total cost, as known from the developer, is in the $12 million range, but Carroll University does not own Pioneer Hall or the new Pio II. “Carroll is not financing the construction; we have a lease for most of the [noncommercial] building use. The

developer will be handling the leases with the commercial entities; however, Carroll does have the right to refuse to allow those businesses in that would not be in the best interest of Carroll or those that might compete directly with Carroll,” said Vice-President of Finance and Administrative Services Ronald Lostetter in a statement. The university leases the space from Clysmic Properties LLC and Berg Management. It is beneficial for Carroll to let property management do what they do best, managing property, while the university can focus on what they do best, education. The general consensus is positive among students toward the changes being made to the Grand Ave. area. There is excitement about Chartwells being closer to their residences and the convenience of having shops on the first level.

Sprizzo Cafe: Local art, sexy martinis and chocolate raspberry bars Kristina Ljujic

Editorial Staff Sprizzo Café in Downtown Waukesha is home to great service and amazing food. Sprizzo, meaning “spark” in Italian, specializes in soups, salads and sandwiches, and offer three different menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The café is the perfect place to find a great meal and good times. Sprizzo welcomes local artists, and even offers an Open Mic Night every Friday from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. The works of local artist decorate the walls inside the chic dining area, as well as the hallway, stairwell and outdoor patio. According to the website, Sprizzo “sparked an explosion of arts and entertainment.” The café’s creative atmosphere comes not only from

the art and events, but also from the menu. Sprizzo raises soups, salads, and sandwiches to a new level. The café, now located at 363 W. Main St. in Waukesha after moving from its former location in 2009, is unlike most sandwich cafés. Sprizzo offers unique side dishes, such as rosemary roasted potato salad, fresh fruit and pasta salad, instead of traditional French fries, to accompany their meals. Simply delicious sandwiches replace mayonnaise or butter with more flavorful spreads, such as the avocado spread which comes on the Turkey Deluxe, or the olive tampenade on the Muffeletta. These custom finishing touches give Sprizzo’s customers something to

remember and return for. Desserts are also available including Chocolate Raspberry Bars— “A rich pairing of chocolate brownie and truffled cream cheese, with ripe red luscious raspberries and white and dark chocolate drizzle,” according to the menu. Sprizzo also offers coffee and a full service bar, which specializes in martinis, such as the Sprizzopolitan. Specials are offered daily, and the list typically includes a salad, sandwich and soups. This month, a unique, yet tasty, Orange Raspberry salad is offered as a special every Thursday. A calendar with daily specials, as well as full breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus, can be found on the café’s website, www.sprizzo.net.

Carroll installs wi-fi History interferes with high-tech Andy Bottom Editorial Staff

Today’s society is all about technology. It’s used every day. Television viewers constantly see commercials about the next big thing for us to be hip and trendy. And in reality, we want it. In these high-tech times, it is almost a necessity for Carroll University students to be connected. With all the latest gadgets, students need a way to get connected. Wireless networks are the new trend. More and more of these Wi-Fi hotspots seem to be popping up, and it won’t be long before everywhere will be covered with Wi-Fi access. For now, however, the focus lies on Carroll’s wireless networks. “We are installing wireless with the main lawn project,” said Debra Jenkins, Chief Information Officer of ITS. “We initially didn’t plan to add the wireless to the Main Lawn, but once we heard about the project, we decided to take advantage of the opportunity.” This installation will provide wireless internet everywhere

outside and around Main Lawn. “Our first priority is the internet in the academic buildings. Dorms come after,” said Jenkins. All the academic buildings do have working wireless to suffice any computer needs. The answer to poor wireless in the dorm buildings lies in history. Carroll claims to be the oldest college in Wisconsin. At the time of the older dorms’ constructions, architects didn’t take into account the unexpected explosion of technological advancement. They used concrete inside all the walls of the buildings which blocks the wireless. But the newer dorms are made with wireless-friendly walls. Still, there are some complications. The wireless routers used by Carroll have automatic limiters on them. ITS said it’s not up to them. It’s just how the routers are made. So take that wireless network, and divide that bandwidth by all of the stu-

dents who use it and you wind up with less than par wireless connections. Here are some facts to assist you with wireless usage: First, gamers and smart phone users should be able to access the wireless without any problem. In some cases however, there are issues. Those experiencing difficulties along these lines should send an e-mail to helpdesk@carrollu.edu to get an exception for your device. Those operating on something other than a Windows- based systems will also need to e-mail ITS and get on the exception list. Second, there is bandwidth switch to the wireless. During the week, from 6:30am to 9:30p.m., more bandwidth is allocated to the academic buildings. During the night and on the weekends, however, the dorms get an increased amount. Students in need of wireless should plan ahead and go to the buildings with the most bandwidth.

LASO

Annemarie Bold Staff Writer

At Carroll University, the Latin American Student Organization has been a strong part of the Carroll community. This year, the organization is planning to sponsor many events at Carroll. LASO has already held a successful dinner this year. Speaker Enrique Morones, founder of Border Angels, spoke at the event. Morones spoke about immigration, which has been a hot topic. “Immigration is a touchy subject that people sometimes avoid discussing,” treasurer for LASO junior Cindy Felix said, “I think it was a really good idea to have him speak in order to shine a light on this touchy subject.” Felix said that there were Carroll students, family members of students, staff and members of the Waukesha community present at the dinner. The dinner was quite successful. This year, for Homecoming, LASO will be participating in Yell Like Hell. LASO has had a lot of success in past years during the Yell Like Hell event. “LASO is best known for incorporating cultural back-

ground into our Yell Like Hell dances,” said current chairman of the board for LASO senior Jose Gutierrez. “We mix our background into the dances. People can be hesitant to sing or dance along because of the language barriers between them and the Spanish lyrics in the songs we dance to. We really try to involve the students by getting them to clap or dance to the music.” In April, LASO will be sponsoring their annual trip to Chicago. Students can also look forward to October and November, when LASO will hold events featuring Mexican Hot Chocolate and a celebration of Dia de los Muertos. Felix said LASO will attend the annual United States Hispanic Leadership conference in February. She also believes LASO may be sponsoring a Valentine’s Day dance or some sort of charitable dance event this year. Carroll students have a lot to look forward to in the upcoming school year. Students should keep an eye out for the fun events sponsored by LASO.

Local landmark dispute

Gator found, caught

The Waukesha Family YMCA is challenging the Landmarks Commission’s decision to designate a housestyle gas station as a local landmark while a group of citizens are pushing to keep the property a landmark. The gas station at 422 E. Broadway was constructed in 1929 as a service station that resembles a house and was designated as a local landmark in July, but the YMCA has challenged the ruling. Mary Emery, of Waukesha, who has been involved with historical preservation for more than 25 years, has pushed for the gas station to become a local landmark. She and others have been circulating petitions to keep the gas station a landmark. Support has been “growing by leaps and bounds every day” and 150 people have signed the petition, she said. “It is the last intact housestyle gas station in Waukesha County,” Emery said. “That was an unusual style, a rare style.” -Waukesha Freeman

Wednesday Sept. 22, Muskego conservation coordinator Tom Zagar was called upon to investigate reports of an alligator sunning itself on the mud flats at Big Muskego Lake. He did and found the reptile doing just that. “We cast a lure at it,” Zagar explained to Newsradio 620 WTMJ’s Dan O’Donnell. “It actually became hooked and we were able to unhook it and it’s doing fine now.” The creature was sent to a shallow aquarium beneath a heat lamp at Waukesha’s Humane Animal Welfare Society until it could be claimed or sent to a reptile rescue organization in Illinois. Operations manager Mark Hess was seeing to the creature’s wellbeing. “They’ll eat frogs and small fish and things like that,” Hess explained. “It probably was happy for awhile, but Wisconsin has a cruel winter. It would never, never survive.” -TMJ4

Live Clue adventure in Waukesha Who done it? Erik Endres Staff Writer

Who done it, with what and where? Live Adventure Clue, the classic detective game brought to life is back in Waukesha for its third year. On Saturday, Oct. 23, take a stroll downtown Waukesha with the entire family and put together clues while meeting the actors that bring to life favorite traditional CLUE characters such as Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlet, Mrs. Peacock, Mrs. White, Professor Plum and the feverish, hypocritical Reverend Green... and perhaps a few interesting additions. Not to worry, famous detectives will lend a hand to find out ‘who done it.’ Live Clue Adventure is a charity event that helps CAP AODA, an organization that works with Wisconsin female prisoners to help their children stay on the right track and keep the women out of jail once they are released. “Women Incarcerated Giving Back is a very successful program to fight recidivism and keep the families in touch with the outside world they will return to,” said Event Director Laura Cramer. To join in and solve the mystery, purchase a game board at The Steaming Cup or Martha Merrell’s Books & Cuddles for $2, $1 for children.

The movie is already known to many as “The Facebook Movie,” however Fincher’s “The Social Network” is not about the creation of the internet’s most successful website or about becoming the world’s youngest billionaire. It’s not even about greed, money or about power. “The Social Network” is a film about something that is deeply engraved in every individual: acceptance. The fictional movie is inspired by the book “The Accidental Billionaires” by Ben Mezrich. The script employs actual court depositions to frame the story of how Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) “created” what was then known as “thefacebook.” Sorkin’s script narrates Zuckerberg

as an awkward, ill-tempered, impatient and almost antisocial computer genius studying at Harvard when fellow students and twin brothers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss (Armie Hammer and Josh Pence) come up with an idea to selectively meet girls and stay in touch with desired friends through an online campus connection service. The twins’ plan needed someone with talent and Zuckerberg had that rare brilliance needed to create the code to make it a reality. Mark can’t say no because the twins are everything he is looking for; they sit at the cool table, are future Olympic rowers and holders of inherited money. Still, everything that Mark does to

gain acceptance ends in rejection. Feeling disrespected by the Winklevoss twins, he morphs their idea with the help of his friend and now “CFO” Eduardo Saverin’s (Andrew Garfield) $1,000 starter money, into his own variation, one that will create friction between friends, make new enemies, set lawsuits in motion and ultimately change the face of the internet and our culture forever. In theatres Friday, Oct. 1, “The Social Network” delivers something that we can all understand and relate to: the cost of desired acceptance and validation comes with a human toll that cannot be counted in gigabytes.

Hispanic in America

What exactly does it mean to be a Latino? Melissa Graham Editorial Staff

You probably couldn’t tell by looking at me, but I am Hispanic-American. My father left Puerto Rico when he was three and assimilated quickly. He was forbidden from speaking Spanish at home. He replaced his last name of “Rosa” with his step-family’s name “Graham.” So, does this make me Hispanic? “You can’t put [Hispanics] into one box. People clump everybody into one and you absolutely cannot,” said Director of Cultural Diversity Dolores Brown. Statistically, Hispanics are an eth-

I was given the gift of being able to identify as Mexican-American. I was very blessed to be able to grow up in that environment. Dolores Brown Director of Cultural Diversity

nically and racially diverse population. The Latino population is ethnically and racially diverse. The U.S. Census says the mainland population consists of Mexican Americans (64 percent), Puerto Ricans (9 percent), Cubans (3.4 percent), Salvadorans (3.1 percent), and Dominicans (2.8 percent), and other areas (17.7 percent). “But that’s what makes Hispanic Heritage month so interesting,” Brown continued. “I was given the gift of being able to identify as Mexican-American. I was very blessed to be able to grow up in

that environment,” said Brown. Brown’s parents moved to Waukesha from a small town in Mexico. They joined a family member already in the area, gained employment (several jobs, in fact), and received their citizenship in the 1960s. While Brown was born here, she remembers visiting Mexico, eating traditional food and observing family customs, such as her quinceanera, or sweet 15. “Sometimes, we play the what-if game. What if our parents hadn’t come to America? Would we have learned

English? Would we have married the same people? Would we have gone to college?” Brown said. National Hispanic Heritage Month is observed from Sept. 15 to Oct. 15 through the celebration of histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. “I’m from Latin America and in school they had pretty big celebrations … this year we haven’t done much. Listen to music, I guess,” said

student Daniel Hendrix. Sept. 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. In addition, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on Sept. 16 and Sept. 18, respectively. Also, Columbus Day or Día de la Raza, which is Oct. 12, falls within this 30 day period. “I like to celebrate Hispanic heritage all year around,” said Associate Professor Dr. Elena De Costa. Carroll will be organizing a bilingual play, photography exhibits, film festivals and additional speakers throughout the year. Activist and 2010 recipient of the Letellier-Moffitt Award, Bertha Oliva, will be speaking to Carroll on Oct. 7 in the MDR from 7:309:00p.m. and will be a convocation

event open to all students. To celebrate the month, LASO organized their annual dinner with guest speaker Enrique Morones on Sept. 18. “I’m actually really surprised that students don’t know [about the holiday]. There are lots of communities that kind of encourage Hispanic culture or heritage. There’s stuff on TV and articles in newspapers,” said student Zabdiel Morillo. “I’m used to a lot of diversity so I may be extreme here … I feel there is very little to no diversity here at all,” said Hendrix. Of students who chose to share their background on their Carroll application for admission, 8% identify as being Hispanic. This number will no doubt increase in the future. The U.S. Census says that more than one-third of the

Hispanic population is younger than 18 years of age. “There will definitely be an openmindedness to diversity. For some, I think diversity is seen as a threat to people. The fear of the unknown. But young people aren’t going to see [diversity] as a threat,” said Brown. I can’t help but wonder what this younger demographic will be like. Perhaps, they will be like me in my search for cultural identity or curiosity for understanding others unlike myself. Regardless, I’m looking forward to meeting them. “So who is Hispanic? I don’t know. Me, personally, I was born and raised in -- and the culture I live in -- is Hispanic culture. Everything about me is Latino. It’s just a personal view and there’s no reason to say otherwise,” explained Morillo.

LASO holds annual Dinner

Border Angels founder enlightens students on immigration dangers Ellen Berg Staff Writer

With the honor of including Enrique Morones, founder of Border Angels, as the guest speaker, the Latin American Student Organization hosted their Annual Dinner to kick off the year on Sept. 18, 2010. Living for “saving lives, making a difference,” Morones speaks to people of all ages all over the United States year round. Border Angels was founded in 1986 by Morones as a nonprofit organization to reach out to those affected by laws and regulations against immigration. Today, Border Angels is

made up of a team of volunteers seeking to stop the unnecessary deaths of those traveling through the Imperial Valley and areas around San Diego County and the United States and Mexico border by providing food, water and first aid when necessary. At the LASO dinner, Morones addressed delicate issues and myths, stirring up sensitive topics while inspiring those around him to make a change in their communities. “The talk was very touching,” said freshman Mariah Smith. “I knew that

crossing the border was very dangerous, but I had no idea that two people die each day. Also, the extensive racism that immigrants have to endure was appalling to me.” The LASO executive team plans to continue the dinner, speaker and dance annually to reach out to students such as Smith. “I think the dinner is a great way to get LASO going for the year and get our name out there,” said junior Nathalie Arredondo, LASO President. “It’s a lot of work being on the LASO exec-

utive team, but it’s really fun meeting new people.” LASO hosts various events every year and looks forward to meeting and interacting with people of all different cultures and backgrounds.

An MLB all-star game amid political controversy Josh DeGrasse-Baumann Editorial Staff

There’s no question that the Hispanic community has had a large effect on Major League Baseball. Mariano Rivera, Manny Ramirez and even Ozzie Guillén are just a few Hispanic names that even casual baseball fans have heard at some point or another. Clearly, Major League Baseball has an obligation to support these players. This has never been more relevant than with Arizona’s “Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act.” For those who don’t know, the law is considered one of the strictest anti-illegal immigration laws. Critics of the law, however, say it encourages ra-

cial profiling by allowing officers to demand proof of citizenship when they have “reasonable suspicion” that someone is an illegal alien. The law became baseball’s problem the instant it became public. Almost immediately, protestors began appearing outside Arizona Diamondbacks games, both home and away. These protestors went a step further by demanding that Major League Baseball move the 2011 All-Star which is currently planned for Phoenix, Ariz. Major League Baseball does have an obligation to defend its Hispanic players, but it also has obligations to its teams and fans; pulling the All-Star game violates those obligations. Hosting an All-Star game is a huge

honor for a team and their fans. Sure, the economic value to the city is ridiculous, and pulling the game would certainly send a message to the government. But it will also send a message to the fans in Arizona, some of which cheer for teams other then the Diamondbacks. That message: You’re being punished for living in a state with a law we don’t like. Major League Baseball, as a business, cannot isolate any of its fans, especially for non-baseball matters. These protestors are demanding the wrong thing from the wrong people. They shouldn’t be calling for the AllStar game to be moved but for players to boycott the game. An All-Star game is nothing without stars.

Players are allowed to, and obviously do, have their own political ideas. Furthermore, several players have already stated their objections with some already declaring they’ll boycott. If fewer big name players come to the game, there’s still less revenue for the state, but the Diamondbacks and their fans still get to host an All-Star game. Admittedly, it’s not as great an All-Star game, but it’s a middle ground. Major League Baseball cannot take a stand against something if it isolates their fans or their teams. This is by no means an insult to the players, but the players have to defend themselves. Baseball does not and cannot require players to participate in the All-Star game, and players can use that to make their stand.

Sister Hazel’s ‘Hearland Highway’ set for October

It’s been three years since the California rock band Linkin Park released their last full-length CD, “Minutes to Midnight.” The band continues to show their musical genius with this year’s release, “A Thousand Suns.” It is a comprehensive album that should be listened to in completion. At the same time, each song is unique in its own right. Even the sounds bites, which include speeches, give the album character. “A Thousand Suns” can be seen as a turning point in Linkin Park’s career. Musically it veers off from the band’s previous albums, but the teenage angst and the raps flowing within the lyrics still let you know it’s still Linkin Park behind the music.

New York Times’ bestseller “Sarah’s Key” follows two women from two different eras. Sarah, 10, and her family are arrested by the French police in the Vel’ d’Hiv roundup during WWII, locking her brother in a cupboard before they’re taken. In present day, journalist Julia Jarmond is asked to write an article about Vel ‘d’Hiv for its 60th anniversary. Jarmond starts to unveil a trail of hidden secrets connecting her to Sarah. “Sarah’s Key” page-by-page strikes into the heart of the horrors seen at Vel ‘d’Hiv and the heart of human experience. From the terrifying story of Sarah’s brother’s demise locked in a cupboard, to Jarmond’s reevaluation of her life, the book will strike an emotional chord with anyone, history-lover or not.

“Metroid: Other M” is the latest installment in the “Metroid” franchise that started with “Metroid” in 1986. “Other M” differs itself from the “Prime” games that were the most recent additions by taking the perspective of heroine Samus Aran to third person. There are new moves, including Overblast, SenseMove and ShineSpark, several new suit upgrades and the seemingly endless, and quite well hidden, Energy and Missile Tanks. The graphics are amazingly crisp and definitive for the Wii. There is a new control system for this game that requires you, when in third person, to hold the Wii-mote horizontally. “Other M” is an excellent and welcome addition to the franchise and is a must for any Wii owner.

Hot 100 charts. The 12-track, 48 minute album is being released through Rock Ridge Music. For more information on the album and Sister Hazel, visit their website: www. sisterhazel.com “Heartland Highway” will be released Oct. 12.

A NEW SUN

Southern rock band Sister Hazel is set to release “Heartland Highway,” their eighth studio album in October. The album features heavy influences from each band member’s personal life to create a more meaningful, artistic collection. As its name may suggest, the album is, as described in a statement by bassist Jett Beres, “American road trip music.” The album’s opening track, “Great Escape,” stays true to Sister Hazel’s typically upbeat music. Its lyrics mimic that of the start of a journey with excitement, anticipation and a little caution, make themselves present throughout the track. As the album progresses, the fight against detachment from loved ones on long trips becomes present, specifically in “Far Away.” Even this topic, however, is somewhat lightened by the bands upbeat style of music. Rather than loneliness, the lyrics portray a positive message with simple reminders of loved ones to keep them close.

The first half of the album ends with what is probably the saddest song of the album, and, perhaps, the saddest song of Sister Hazel’s collection. The track, aptly named “Saddest Song (Not Coming Home),” describes a not-so-perfect, but cherished nonetheless, relationship that has come to an end. While not offering much in the way of optimism, the song does suggest the acceptance of inevitable challenges in life. The album’s second half opens with Sister Hazel immediately returning to their traditional style with “Where You’re Going.” The track reminds listeners that each journey, literal or figurative, ends with a destination, and the destination is the point. “We spend a lot of time out on the highway together [as a band],” lead singer Ken Block said in a statement. “We have a ton of stuff behind us with a really rich history, and we have been through an awful lot of things together. Yet we keep looking ahead, down the road, to what’s next.” The last quarter of the album is “Lessons in Love, Hope, Faith” split into three parts. Taking up just under 16 minutes, the songs offer a reflection of the journey the listeners have just been through offering exactly what their names suggest. Musically, the album is comparable to bands like Train, Vertical Horizon and

Easy A” is a testament to how easily a simple bit of gossip can catch like wild-fire and influence the perception of the masses. Inspired by the book “The Scarlet Letter,” the movie follows high school student Olive Pendergast (Emma Stone) as a little white lie about losing her virginity manages to change her from clean-cut to promiscuous harlot; at least, in the eyes of her classmates. Soon she finds herself in the midst of trying to clear up a rumor that has gone too far and attempts to destroy not only her reputation but others’ as well. Fans of movies like “Superbad” and “The 40-Year Old Virgin” will enjoy this comical romp. With enough one-liners, spunky characters and Amanda Bynes as a pompous, yet, hilarious Christian school girl, “Easy A” will leave you begging for more. “A” is for awesome!

The Carroll University cross country team’s trip to Rock Island, Ill., proved to be a highly successful meet for the Pioneers. The Brissman-Lundeen Invitational contained nearly three times as many teams as the first two meets of Carroll’s season. On the men’s side, Joe Pliner led the Pioneers with a time of 26:09.7, earning him 33rd overall. He was joined less than twenty seconds later by junior Kevin Meyer. Freshman Ryan Burke finished in 27:33.1 followed by junior Joe Zambetti’s 27:45.9. Senior Ryan Hanus rounded out the Pioneer top five with 27:50.2 finish. Kaitlin Daugherty led the women’s side a time of 23.26.6, earning her 27th. Jessica Laurin joined her a little over 30 seconds later, posting a time of 24:10.6. Amy Killian finished

her laidback, down-to-earth attitude. “I enjoy spending time with friends, watching movies and spending time at the beach at Rock Lake,” Trieloff said. Trieloff ’s goal this year is to train harder with an increased lifting program, drawing motivation by listening to AC/DC and techno music on her iPod. Her main focus, however, is concentrating on her school work. Her long term goal is to one day represent the U.S. in the Olympics throwing the javelin. Until then she is happy to represent Carroll while focusing on her exercise science major with a physical therapy emphasis and a minor in psychology. “I would like to work someday in with sports athletes,” said Trieloff, but she wants to leave her options open. Trieloff is a 2008 graduate of Lake Mills High School where she played soccer. While at Carroll, the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association has posted Trieloff as one of their mentions for Scholar Athlete of the Year in Division III. “Amanda is an amazing spokesperson for the Carroll University track and field team. She first comes to mind when thinking about who exemplifies a team player,” Trieloff ’s track coach Shawn Thielitz said.

13 seconds later. Eden Fraizer finished 88th with a time of 24:42.8. Freshman Marissa Mader was the fifth Lady Pioneer to finish, posting a time of 24:43.4, barely more than a half second after Fraizer. “I told [the team] going in that I didn’t care about place,” said Head Coach Shawn Thileitz. “Let’s get our times down. We certainly got our times down.” The team’s next meet will be the Sean Earl Invitational Oct. 2.

Football jumps out to 3-0 start, tied with Ripon

Photo by Arthur Thomas

Marissa Troy Staff Writer

The Carroll University football team opened the season 3-0 for the second time in three years. The third win, which gave the Pioneers a six game winning streak dating back to the 2009 season, came against Beloit College. The Pioneers scored twice in the first quarter to take a 14-0 lead over the Buccaneers. Carroll would never relinquish the lead. Chris Casper threw for 245 yards and a touchdown while completing 70 percent of his passes. He completed passes to six of his receivers, paying special attention to Matt Cain who caught 13 of Casper’s 37 passes for 100 yards. On the ground, the Pioneers rushed for 157 yards, led by Joe Beckstrand’s 130 yards and two touchdowns. David Paczkowski came away with an interception in the third quarter as the biggest standout on a defense

that held Beloit to 260 yards of total offense. “We stuck to our game plan and worked hard on both the offensive and defensive end,” said Assistant Head Coach Mark Krzykowski. With 3-0 behind them, the Pioneers looked to go 4-0 for the first time since 1992. To do so, however, the Pioneers would need to defeat Ripon College. “Ripon is unlike the other teams we have played so far. They have a different offense; primarily a rushing game and they will be a challenge,” Krzykowski said. The Sept. 25 match against Ripon was also the Red Hawks homecoming. The game was sloppy for both teams. A combined 117 yards were surrendered on 13 penalties. The two teams also combined for nine fumbles throughout the game, though six came from the Red Hawks. In total, there were six turnovers. Ripon lost five of their fumbles while

Carroll’s Casper threw an interception. The rushing game was unaffected by the poor fundamental play on the other sides of the ball. The Red Hawks ran for 184 yards divided up between several players. The Pioneers, on the other hand, gained 141 yards on the ground. Despite the strong rushing attacks, most of the game’s scoring came through the air. Neither quarterback was without their issues, however. Ripon’s Jake Marshall completed less than 50 percent of his passes while Casper was sacked five times. Despite playing from behind for most of the game, Carroll battled back to tie the game on a fourth down touchdown pass from Casper to Nate Soddy. The Pioneers took the lead in the fourth quarter with another touchdown pass between Casper and Soddy, but the Red Hawks answered right back with a touchdown of their own.

Carroll’s offense had less than a minute to win the game in regulation, but the clock expired with the Pioneers just entering Red Hawk territory, forcing the game into overtime. The Pioneer defense held Ripon to three points in the Red Hawk half of the overtime period, leaving just 20 yards between Carroll and a 4-0 start. A penalty marred an otherwise solid Pioneer running attack, forcing Carroll to eventually play from the 22-yard line. From there, they would manage to move the ball to the 11-yard line, but needed six more yards on fourth down. With 4-0 and first place on the line, the Pioneers elected to try and convert the down, but Casper was unable to connect with Matt Cain ending the game and a six game Carroll winning streak. The Pioneers return to Schneider Stadium for their Homecoming against the Lake Forest College Foresters.

Men’s Soccer eager to begin 2010 conference games

Josh DeGrasse-Baumann Editorial Staff

In the final four games before conference play begins, the Carroll University men’s soccer team started to get healthy and collected their first two wins of the season. “More importantly than wins, we were finally able to get some people back on the field that we expected a lot out of this season,” said Head Coach Rick Mobley. “Wednesday night [against MSOE], was really the first time we were probably at 80 percent full strength. I think the wins and losses reflect that.” Carroll got their first win of the season by beating MSOE 3-1 Sept. 15. The game got off to a very quick start for the Pioneers when Marc Heitpas scored his third goal of the season 1:18 seconds into the game. After getting an assist on the first goal of the game, Cam Schubert gave Carroll the 2-0 lead ten minutes later. The goal was Schubert’s second on the year. Casey Gloe notched his first goal of the season 31 minutes into the game off an assist from Marc Heitpas to give Carroll the 3-0 lead. MSOE would finally get on the board late in the first half when Jordan Werner scored five minutes before halftime. The Carroll defense would make sure that MSOE wasn’t able to get any closer only giving up two shots, neither of which required a save by goalie Tomek Miaskowski. Carroll’s next contest saw them face the 15th ranked team in the nation, UWWhitewater. Whitewater showed why they have the number 15 ranking beating the Pioneers 3-0. Whitewater got on the board with a goal two minutes into the game and increased their lead in the 40th minute to 2-0 and once more in the 64th minute off of a free kick.

After controlling their previous game outshooting MSOE 18-6, Carroll was never really into the game being outshot 8-1 in the first half and only mustering two more shots in the second half. “Losing by one goal or twenty-five goals doesn’t really matter,” Mobley said. “What was really important was getting the experience of playing a good team. You learn a lot more playing good teams and losing than playing bad teams and winning.” Carroll definitely learned after the loss to Whitewater, taking care of business 4-0 against winless Wisconsin Lutheran College Carroll dominated the game against the Wisconsin Lutheran outshooting the Warriors 22-6. The game score could have been much worse but Wisconsin Lutheran goalie Chris Lorig made 13 saves. Pioneer goalie Tomek Miaskowski was only force to make two saves all game. Carroll took a 1-0 lead in the first half on an Andy Ksobiech goal 34 minutes into the game. The game would remain 1-0 until the second half became the Marc Hietpas show. Heitpas notched his first goal in the 50th minute. He continued his dominance with a goal in the 78th and 88th minutes to get a hat trick. In the final game before conference play, the Pioneers lost to Illinois Wesleyan University Sept. 25 2-1. Carroll started the game with a goal in the 22nd minute by Justin Gerhartz. The Pioneers would continue to lead until the 51st minute of the game when Illinois Wesleyan would get the equalizer. In the 72nd minute, Illinois Wesleyan would take the lead on a goal by Mitchell Killough. Carroll begins Midwest Conference play on Wednesday, Sept. 29 when they travel to Lake Forest College.

Lady Pioneers look to hold MWC place Josh DeGrasse-Baumann

Editorial Staff With Midwest Conference play on the horizon, Carroll University women’s soccer team looks to focus on keeping their place among MWC teams. The Lady Pioneers would go 2-1 in the final three games before their first MWC game. A Sept. 15 matchup against Carthage College gave the Lady Pios the first of their two wins. The first goal of the game was an own goal committed by Carthage’s Alyssa Baker to give Carroll an early 1-0 lead. Carroll doubled their lead just before the 33 minute mark with Kylie Ringelstetter’s first goal of the season. Freshman goalkeeper Taylor Mclean was on the verge of her first collegiate shutout, but a Carthage goal with just over five minutes left ruined an otherwise perfect day in the net. Carroll recorded their second win just four days later, beating Kalamazoo College3-2. Cody Callender scored with just over six minutes gone in the game thanks to an assist by Kelly Moran. Kalamazoo answered back just over a minute later, how-

ever, tying the game 1-1. It took the Hornets just two more minutes to score a goal to go up 2-1. Lady Pioneer Amanda Leach tied it up with a goal of her own at the 26:19 mark. The final goal of the game came off Blenner’s foot with an assist by Leach just before the 70th minute. Mclean was awarded Midwest Conference Player of the Week for her efforts in the two games. The loss came against Webster University, but the Lady Pioneers fought hard, forcing two overtimes. Carroll took an early lead with a Leach goal after 14th minute. It appeared that the Pioneers would shutout Webster, but the Gorloks tied it up with less than two minutes to play. It wouldn’t be until the 103rd minute that either team would find the net again, but it happened to be Megan Niederschulte’s second goal of the game to give the Pioneers a 2-1 loss. Midwest Conference play begins for Carroll with a Sept. 30 match against Beloit College.

Lady Pioneers move on to Conference Championship Taylor Alward Staff Writer

The Carroll University women’s golf team had a record setting tournament at the Illinois Wesleyan Invitational in Bloomington, Ill. Carroll set two records over the weekend, best single team round and best two day total. The Lady Pioneers shot a team total of 337, setting the team record for lowest single team round. The next day Carroll posted a score of 344 to finish with a two day score of 681, the best in school history. The strong performance for the Lady Pioneers was good enough to take 11th place out of 20 teams. “We played pretty well for us,” said Head Coach Dave An-

drews. “We’ve got a long way to go, of course. We didn’t play as well the second day, but we were only seven shots higher so I was really happy about it.” Carroll sophomore Angelina Parrinello led the Pioneers shooting her way into the record book as well. Parrinello finished in 21st place overall posting an 84-81. Her second round was the lowest round recorded in Carroll women’s golf history. Parrinello also now holds the Carroll record for lowest two day total with a final score of 165. “[Angelina] was due to have a good low score. She is going to shoot in the 70’s this year,” Andrews said. “I wouldn’t be sur-

prised if Lauren Felton and Morgan Zuleger shot in the 70’s this year too.” Zuleger finished 2nd one stroke behind Parrinello with scores of 82 and 84. Junior Erin Sullivan and freshman Lauren Felton finished with scores of 85-88 and 86-92 respectively. The Carroll women struggled at the UW-Whitewater Invitational finishing 4th out of 7 teams. High winds didn’t allow for too many low scores as the winners tied at 79. The top score for Carroll was 89 shot by Zuleger, giving her a tie for 12th. Parrinello shot a 90 follow by Lauren Felton, 92, Dominique DeMatteo, 93, and Erin Sullivan, 96.

Wareham and Quinones shot 98 and 125 respectfully. In the final tournament before the Midwest Conference Championship the women finished 4th out of 7 teams in the Viterbo Invitational. Carroll was lead by Perrinello posting 83-81, giving her third place in the tournament. Zuleger also finished in the top ten at 7th place with 84-94. As a team the Lady Pioneers shot 734 in the two day tournament finishing eight strokes out of third. The women’s golf team travels to Aldeen Golf Club for the Midwest Conference Championship, Oct. 1-3.
