America  Reads  provides  stu-­ dents  with  an  “eye  opening  ex-­ perience,�  according  to  junior  Katelyn  Wurtz,  former  student  coordinator  of  American  Reads.  UW-­Whitewater  offers  stu-­ dents  the  chance  to  earn  valuable  experience  and  gain  community  service  hours  through  the  nation-­ al  volunteer  program,  America  Reads.

America  Reads  is  a  federally  funded  program  that  sends  col-­ lege  students  into  classrooms  to  work  one-­on-­one  with  students  who  may  need  additional  help  with  schoolwork.  These  volun-­ teers  tutor  students  at  the  Chil-­ dren’s  Center,  Lincoln  Inquiry  Charter  School,  Washington  Elementary,  Lakeview  Elemen-­ tary  School,  Whitewater  Middle  School  and  Whitewater  High  School  during  the  day  and  in  af-­ ter-­school  programs.  Though  the  program  mostly  receives  volunteers  enrolled  in  the  College  of  Education,  anyone  can  volunteer.  “It’s  a  great  program  whether  you’re  planning  on  working  with  children  or  not,â€?  Wurtz  said.  Current  student  coordinator,  Jacquelynn  Bazylewicz,  said  the  program  has  a  wide  variety  of  volunteers,  including  many  busi-­ ness  and  theatre  majors.  She  said  they  also  get  a  few  students  with  work  study  that  participate  like  volunteers  but  receive  payment.  “Every  year  we  have  a  huge  amount  of  vol-­ unteers,â€?  Ba-­ zylewicz  said.  “The  volunteers  we  send  out,  they  really  care.â€?  Wurtz  be-­ Wurtz lieves  the  pro-­ JUDP EHQHÂż WV the  students  because  they  get  more  one-­on-­one  time.  She  said  it  is  also  exciting  for  them  to  have  someone  new  in  the  class-­ room  they  can  look  up  to.  %HVLGHV EHQHÂż WLQJ VWXGHQWV Wurtz  said  the  program  gave  her Â

UW-W professor studies drug deaths in Wisconsin Nordstrom:  Narcotics  cause  more  fatalities than  cocaine

By Samantha Jacquest News  Editor

There  have  been  4,828  drug-­re-­ lated  deaths  in  Wisconsin  between  1999  and  2008.

According  to  a  report  by  Da-­ vid  Nordstrom,  Ph.D.,  an  associ-­ ate  professor  at  UW-­Whitewater  and  an  epidemi-­ ologist,  two  of  the  top  death-­related  drugs  are  codeine  and  cocaine.

Nordstrom Codeine  was  involved  in  1,101  cases,  while  cocaine  was  a  cause  in  1,017  deaths.

Nordstrom,  along  with  Mieko  Yokoi-­Shelton,  a  UW-­Whitewater  graduate  and  former  student  of  Nordstrom,  and  Dr.  Amy  Zosel,  a  physician  and  poison  specialist  at  the  Medical  College  of  Wisconsin,  searched  through  almost  35,000 Â

Milwaukee Wave hosts alumni event Students,  faculty  invited  to  see  dance  team  perform

By Michael Riley Assistant  News  Editor

The  Milwaukee  Wave  is  host-­ ing  a  UW-­Whitewater  Day  for  alumni,  students  and  family  from  2  p.m.  to  4  p.m.  on  Feb.  10  at  the  U.S.  Cellular  Arena  in  Milwau-­ kee.

The  event  includes  a  social  reception  in  a  VIP  room  and  a  performance  by  the  student  dance  team.

The  professional  indoor  soc-­ cer  team  reached  out  to  UW-­ Whitewater  because  owner  Jim  Linderberg,  who  bought  the  team  in  2009,  is  a  1981  UW-­Whitewa-­ ter  graduate.

This  event  has  been  held  since  2010  and  provides  a  social  recep-­ tion  with  complimentary  food  and  a  cash  bar.

Account  Executive  for  Mil-­

waukee  Wave  Danny  Leach  said  the  goal  of  this  event  is  to  get  as  much  of  UW-­Whitewater  campus  involved  as  possible  at  the  game.   In  previous  years,  UW-­Whitewa-­ ter  Day  has  celebrated  the  foot-­ ball  and  soccer  teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  door  is  open  an  hour  be-­ fore  the  game  to  Whitewater  and  people  are  wel-­ come  to  join  us  Schroeder the  VIP  room,â&#x20AC;?  Leach  said.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;Head  Coach  Keith  Tozer  will  go  up  there  15  min-­ utes  before  the  game  to  make  a  speech,  and  if  time  permitting  he  will  answer  any  questions.â&#x20AC;?  Alumni  Relations  also  pro-­ vides  a  drawing  to  give  away  Warhawk  apparel.   Alumni  Program  Coordinator  Keri  Schroeder  said  the  number  of  the  alumni  in  certain  regions  determines  what  kinds  of  events  are  held  outside  of  Whitewater.   This  spring  there  are  planned  events  in  New  York,  Florida, Â

Colorado  and  Illinois.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  it  is  a  way  for  people  to  still  feel  engaged  with  their  alma  mater,â&#x20AC;?  Schroeder  said.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;UW-­  Whitewater  is  a  special  community  and  people  like  to  stay  connect-­ ed  to  that.  For  some,  they  stay  connected  by  being  on  an  ad-­ visory  board  or  they  might  be  an  alumni  mentor,  Martinez but  for  others,  getting  together  socially  is  the  way  to  feel  engaged.â&#x20AC;?   The  VIP  treatment  does  not  stop  with  alumni  and  students,  but  is  also  extended  to  the  dance  team.   Current  Coach,  Cynthia  Martinez  said  performing  in  the  U.S.  Cellular  Arena  is  a  privilege  for  the  team.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  is  really  cool,  because  they  give  us  our  own  dressing  room  that  has  lights  and  mirrors,â&#x20AC;?  Martinez  said.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;For  a  lot  of  us,  it  reminded  us  of  competitions  in  high  school.  It  was  a  great  expe-­

rience  to  bring  back.â&#x20AC;?

The  experience  gained  from  the  event  last  year  was  the  main  motivator  in  taking  the  team  to  a  new  level  according  to  Martinez.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone  was  kind  of  talk-­ ing  about  competing  at  a  college  OHYHO EXW EHLQJ RQ WKDW ELJ Âż HOG with  everyone  we  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  know  made  us  realize  it  was  something  we  wanted  to  get  involved  with,â&#x20AC;?  Martinez  said.  $OWKRXJK WKLV ZDV WKH Âż UVW year  in  competition,  the  team  was  able  to  win  a  second  place  DQG WKLUG SODFH Âż QLVK LQ HDUO\ 'H cember.   The  entire  team  is  peer  run,  which  provides  members  with  a  chance  to  choreograph  their  own  routine  and  teach  it  to  everyone.   Three  girls  have  been  working  on  the  dance  for  the  Wave  appear-­ ance,  but  it  is  not  unusual  for  the  team  to  learn  a  new  routine  every  week.   Although  dancing  on  the  in-­ door  turf  only  feet  away  from  Wave  players  creates  an  unfamil-­ iar  atmosphere,  the  dance  team  said  they  hope  to  perform  well,  not  only  for  the  alumni,  but  their  own  families.   Tickets  are  offered  at  a  dis-­ counted  price  for  alumni  and  students  for  this  game  and  can  be  purchased  by  phone,  online,  RU E\ PDLO &DOO WKH :DYH RIÂż FH at  (414)  224-­9283  or  go  on  their  website  www.milwaukeewave.

Volunteering  for  America  Reads  also  can  enrich  volunteersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  campus  life.  It  connects  them  to  Whitewater  more,  Bazylewicz  said.  Lastly,  America  Reads  creates  connections  for  references.  A  few  volunteers  have  even  found  jobs  with  the  schools  they  volunteered  at,  Bazylewicz  said.  Bazylewicz  said  students  often  think  volunteering  for  America  Reads  is  a  complicated  process,  but  she  wants  to  stress  how  easy  it  is  to  be  part  of  the  program.  For  more  information  or  to  apply  for  America  Reads  contact  SEAL  at  262-­472-­1180.  SmithAL15@uww.edu

SEAL  needs  to  create,  enforce  movie  rules Royal Purple Editorial  Staff  Opinion

For  students  who  stay  on  campus,  one  of  the  most  popular  forms  of  weekend  entertain-­ ment  could  include  attending  the  weekly  mov-­ ies  SEAL  brings  to  Summers  Auditorium.  With  $1  admission,  the  ability  to  bring  in  food  from  home  and  very  few  rules,  the  atmo-­ sphere  feels  much  more  laid  back  than  a  tradi-­ tional  movie  theater.

While  it  is  great  that  SEAL  is  able  to  bring  low-­cost  movie  options  to  campus  for  students  to  enjoy,  the  lack  of  rules  allows  some  view-­ ers  to  be  disruptive  and  ruin  the  experience  for  others.

Because  the  atmosphere  at  these  weekend  movies  is  so  laid  back,  many  students  feel  like  they  are  sitting  at  home  on  their  couch.  They  forget  they  are  in  a  theater  with  other  students  who  might  really  want  to  see  that  weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  mov-­ ie  showing.

Instead  of  sitting  quietly  and  respectfully  as  most  do  at  normal  movie  theaters,  many  stu-­ GHQWV WDON ORXGO\ WKURXJKRXW WKH ¿ OPV DQG VHQG text  messages  on  their  cellphones.  They  behave  rudely,  and  there  is  not  much  their  fellow  moviegoers  can  do  besides  ask  them  to  quiet  down  or  put  their  phones  away.

Especially  at  movies  with  lower  atten-­ dance,  some  students  think  they  can  act  how-­ ever  they  want  regardless  of  other  viewers  be-­ cause  they  are  only  paying  $1  for  admission  and  there  are  no  rules  required  to  follow.

The  students  who  choose  to  be  disruptive Â

Sydney Michuda graphic/0LFKXGD6. #XZZ HGX

PDNH LW GLI¿ FXOW IRU WKRVH ZKR DFWXDOO\ ZDQW WR watch  the  movie.  Instead  of  sitting  in  a  theater  where  poor  behavior  from  others  is  almost  guaranteed,  stu-­ dents  who  want  to  see  a  particular  movie  could  just  as  easily  wait  a  few  weeks  and  spend  their  $1  at  Redbox.

To  prevent  a  handful  of  badly  behaved  stu-­ dents  from  ruining  the  movie  for  others,  SEAL  should  create  a  set  of  rules  and  consequences  for  their  weekend  movies  to  ensure  everyone  has  a  positive  experience.

As  a  movie  viewer,  an  individual  spends  about  two  hours  in  a  dark,  crowded  room  with  a  bunch  of  strangers.  There  has  to  be  a  certain  degree  of  trust  to  ensure  the  environment  is  safe  and  friendly.  Implementing  rules  would Â

help  reassure  students  they  are  in  such  an  en-­ vironment.

There  is  no  reason  why  the  SEAL  weekend  movies  should  not  have  and  enforce  most  of  the  same  rules  as  other  movie  theaters.  SEAL  should  post  a  list  of  rules  at  the  entrance  of  the  theater  asking  students  to  not  use  cellphones,  clean  up  after  themselves  and  talk  quietly  if  they  have  to  talk.  While  this  is  common  cour-­ tesy  to  most,  some  people  need  to  be  reminded.

Having  a  few  SEAL  members  pop  in  and  monitor  behavior  would  be  a  great  way  of  en-­ forcing  these  rules.  If  they  saw  students  acting  disruptively,  they  could  ask  them  to  correct  their  behavior  or  to  leave.

It  is  likely  that  more  students  would  attend  movies  if  rules  were  in  place,  because  those Â

who  do  not  want  to  deal  with  poor  behavior  from  others  would  not  have  to  worry  about  it.  Students  will  not  be  driven  away  from  see-­ ing  the  weekend  movies  just  because  they  are  asked  to  follow  the  same  rules  they  would  at  any  other  theater.

SEAL  can  easily  strike  a  balance  between  providing  a  fun,  laid  back  movie  experience  and  enforcing  enough  rules  to  prevent  disrup-­ tive  behavior.  By  creating  some  basic  rules  but  still  al-­ lowing  students  the  privileges  of  cheap  admis-­ sion  and  bringing  in  food,  SEAL  would  create  a  compromise  that  many  students  would  thank  them  for. rp@uww.edu

is  that  the  skills  that  I  would  have  learned  with  the  original  degree  have  not  been  obtained  and  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  been  forced  to  take  classes  that  have  nothing  to  do  with  my  career  aspirations.  Of  course  some  classes  are  in  the  course  catalog,  but  many  of  them  are  only  offered  scarce-­ ly  and  for  many  others  in  the  MAGD  major,  it  is  not  possible  to  take  them  due  to  other  required  course  work.  This  semester  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  taking  two  classes  (required  for  my  major)  that  I  have  no  interest  in  and  I  know  that  many  others  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  care  to  attend  them  either.  I  feel  this  is  bad  for  us  students  that  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  an  interest  in  the  subject  and  also  for  those  who  do.  If  1/3  of  the  class  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  re-­ late  to  the  subject,  the  other  2/3  wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  the  support  from  their  peers  and  as  many  students  know,  a  lot  of  our  learning  is  from  each  other.  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  brought  these  concerns Â

up  to  professors,  advisors,  and  department  heads  only  to  get  responses  such  as:  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  too  bad,â&#x20AC;?  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  nothing  I  can  do  about  it,â&#x20AC;?  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  know  you  so  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  not  able  to  help  you,â&#x20AC;?  or  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well,  you  could  just  take  another  semester.â&#x20AC;?  To  me,  these  responses  are  just  awful.  Later  this  year,  I  will  be  entering  the  job  hunt  with  a  degree  that  has  a  completely  dif-­ ferent  connotation  to  it  than  what  I  aspire  to  do  for  my  career.  I  know  there  are  others  in  sim-­ ilar  positions  and  the  curriculum  of  many  majors  and  the  schedul-­ ing  of  classes  could  be  looked  at.  Of  course,  at  this  point,  there  is  nothing  I  can  do  but  get  it  over  with.  This  is  not  the  idea  I  thought  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  have  looming  over  me  as  I  graduate  college:  Oh  well,  just  get  it  over  with  and  move  on.

UW-Madison graduate encourages student participation in upcoming Wisconsin Transit Week As  a  recent  UW-­Madison  grad,  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  become  a  little  nostalgic  as  I  remember  better  days  before  I  entered  post-­graduation  life.  Dur-­ ing  my  walks  down  memory  lane,  I  realized  I  took  a  lot  of  things  for  granted  as  a  UW  student.  I  think  about  things  (which  any  Madison  grad  will  know  about!)  VXFK DV ZDIĂ&#x20AC; H GD\V DW 3RSÂśV &OXE State  Street  entertainment  with  Scanner  Dan,  and  chasing  after  the  Route  81  bus.

While  at  UW,  I  was  able  to  walk  to  and  from  class  most  of  the  time.  But,  when  I  was  too  lazy  to  walk  up  Bascom  Hill  or  needed  to  JHW KRPH IURP +HOHQ & DW DP

Madison  Transit  was  there  to  offer  me  a  safe  ride.  As  a  student,  it  was  nice  know-­ ing  I  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  need  to  own  a  car,  deal  with  chaotic  parking,  and  face  the  wrath  of  the  Madison  parking  en-­ forcement.  Transit  options  were  always  available  to  me  whenever  I  needed  a  lift.  1H[W ZHHN LV RIÂż FLDOO\ NQRZQ as  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wisconsin  Transit  Weekâ&#x20AC;?  across  the  state  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  and  there  is  a  website  to  commemorate  this  oc-­ casion,  www.witransitweek.com.  The  site  will  feature  a  new  question  each  day  during  Transit  Week  for  people  to  respond  to  via  Twitter.  So  if  you  have  a  transit  story Â

I  know  I  have  plenty  of  memo-­ rable  stories  from  riding  Route  81  during  my  time  in  Madison.  I  might  just  have  to  tweet  about  them  dur-­ ing  Transit  Week.  -­Amy  Hildebrand UW-­Madison  graduate Â

  Last  Monday  was  a  dark  day.  It  wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  because  there  was  more  snow  on  the  ground  before  the  sun  rose,  it  was  because  it  was  WKH Âż UVW GD\ RI the  NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  off-­ season.   Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  day  that  should  be  a  na-­ tional  holiday.  Commentary Everyone  is  ei-­ by Zach Hicks, Sports Editor ther  too  worn  out  from  their  Super  Bowl  parties  the  night  before  or  WRR GHSUHVVHG WKDW IRRWEDOO LV Âż nally  over.   Still,  the  San  Francisco  49ers  and  Baltimore  Ravens  put  on  a  good  show  for  us  Sunday  night,  but  there  are  two  things  that  I  took  issue  with.

7KH Âż UVW ZDV WKDW PDQ\ SHR ple  once  again  were  taking  to  so-­ cial  media  to  slaughter  Fifth  Av-­ enueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  best  and  brightest  for  their  supposedly  poor  performance.  Apparently,  the  commercials  for  this  Super  Bowl  â&#x20AC;&#x153;sucked.â&#x20AC;?   As  long  as  I  can  remember,  people  have  ripped  apart  the  overall  effort  of  Super  Bowl  commercials  the  Monday  after.  I  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  remember  a  time  where  the  general  consensus  was  positive.    I  love  to  watch  the  commer-­ cials  and  thought  there  were  some  good  ones  this  year.   The  Doritos  commercial  with  the  goat  for  sale  was  funny,  and  I  also  enjoyed  the  cheetah  Sketch-­ ers  commercial  and  the  Taco  Bell  commercial  featuring  elderly  people  sneaking  out  of  an  assist-­ ed  living  home  to  party  all  night.   However,  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  come  to  the  conclusion  that  many  Americans  love  to  hate  them.  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  not  sure  why  this  is.   Perhaps  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  way  of  rebelling  against  the  idea  of  a  commercialâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to  convince  them  to  buy  something.   Or  maybe  they  want  to  sound  smartâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;there  arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  many  com-­ mercial  critics  out  there  (but  there  are  some),  and  maybe  their  day  job  is  getting  stale.   Regardless,  next  time  some-­ one  tells  me  that  they  â&#x20AC;&#x153;love  the  commercialsâ&#x20AC;?  in  the  days  lead-­ ing  up  to  the  big  game,  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  take  it  with  a  grain  of  salt.   As  for  the  actual  football  played,  I  was  pleased.   The  game  was  closely  con-­ tested  and  had  the  suspense  of  the  largest  comeback  in  Super  Bowl Â

history  being  valiantly  attempted  by  San  Francisco.   However,  as  many  know,  the  Ravens  prevailed.  I  was  cheering  for  the  Ravens,  but  that  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  matter,  because  at  the  end  of  the  game,  the  MVP  went  to  the  wrong  man.   Joe  Flacco  was  not  the  most  valuable  player  in  Sunday  nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  game.  Not  even  close.  He  was  the  best  if  you  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  watch  the  game  and  just  read  the  stats.  To  be  frank,  it  should  have  gone  to  one  of  his  two  wide  receivers:  Ja-­ coby  Jones  or  Anquan  Boldin.  Jones  caught  an  86-­yard  touchdown  pass  from  Flacco.  Jones  was  wide  open,  and  all  Flacco  had  to  do  was  throw.   After  falling  down  while  catching  the  pass,  Jones  creative-­ ly  dodged  defenders  and  found  the  end  zone.  He  started  the  sec-­ ond  half  off  with  a  108-­yard  kick  return  for  a  touchdown.  Jones  truly  ignited  the  game  with  two  huge  plays.  Boldin  was  a  force,  catching  six  passes  for  104  yards  and  a  touchdown.  Boldinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  routes  were  crisp,  and  when  defenders  would  try  to  tackle  him,  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  viciously  thrust  stiff  arms  into  their  face-­ masks.  Boldin  wanted  this  one  and  played  like  it.   It  might  seem  odd  to  say  that  Flacco,  a  quarterback,  shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  get  the  Super  Bowl  MVP  and  that  the  guys  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  throwing  to  should.   However,  Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  kick  return  and  huge  play,  which  happened  solely  because  his  big  time  speed  ran  him  open,  were  game-­chang-­ ing.   What  was  Flaccoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  game-­ changing  play?  There  wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  one.  Boldin  might  have  caught  passes  from  Flacco,  but  he  also  added  over  30  yards  after  the  catch.  After  he  caught  the  ball,  Boldin  began  to  really  go  to  ZRUN Âż JKWLQJ IRU HYHU\ H[WUD yard.   ESPN  and  other  national  me-­ dia  outlets  will  now  rumble  about  whether  or  not  Joe  Flacco  is  an  elite  quarterback.  Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not.  Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  in  the  same  way  Eli  Manning  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.  Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  good,  but  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  in  that  top  tier.   Flacco  did  nothing  wrong  Sunday  night,  but  he  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  shine  either.  Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  why  he  shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  gotten  the  MVP.  You  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  to  be  elite  to  win  a  Super  Bowl,  but  you  do  need  to  win  a  Super  Bowl  to  be  elite.

History through movies: entertaining, but not always accurate portrayals

By Samantha Jacquest Assistant  News  Editor

 Let  me  start  this  with  a  short  story.  I  enjoy  Natalie  Portman  as  an  actress,  so  that  led  me  to  watch  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  Other  Boleyn  Girl,â&#x20AC;?  also  starring,  Scarlett  Johansson  and  Eric  Bana.  The  movie  is  set  in  16th  century  England  and  focus-­ es  on  sisters  Mary  and  Anne  Commentary Boleyn  and  their  competi-­ by Samantha tion  to  win  the  heart  of  King  Jacquest, News Editor Henry  VIII. I  fell  in  love  with  the  movie.  After  watch-­

ing  it,  I  discovered  the  Showtime  program  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  Tudors,â&#x20AC;?  which  follows  the  life  of  King  Henry  VIII  and  his  six  wives,  Anne  Boleyn  taking  up  the  majority  of  the  showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  four  sea-­ sons.  From  there,  my  fascination  with  Anne  Boleyn  took  off.  I  ended  up  taking  a  history  course  where  I  was  able  to  write  a  research  paper  focused  on  the  infamous  Queen  of  Eng-­ land.  I  thought  the  paper  would  be  a  breeze  be-­ cause  I  knew  so  much  about  her.  I  was  way  off.

While  doing  my  research,  I  discovered  how  different  Anne  Boleyn  was  from  how  she  is  portrayed  in  both  modern  and  histori-­ cal  forms  of  entertainment.  I  felt  cheated.  I  felt  that  her  real  journey  and  personality  were Â

fascinating  enough,  that  writers  and  directors  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  need  to  change  her  so  drastically.

Once  I  realized  this  about  Anne  Boleyn,  I  realized  that  this  was  true  for  many  different  forms  of  entertainment  that  are  â&#x20AC;&#x153;based  on  a  true  story.â&#x20AC;?  In  all  reality,  a  movie  or  novel  just  needs  to  have  the  names  of  real  people  and  a  general  summary  of  a  story,  and  they  can  take  off  from  there  and  completely  change  the  real  facts.

What  is  this  doing  to  people  who  invest  their  time  into  these  movies  and  books?  Sure,  it  may  be  entertaining,  but  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  â&#x20AC;&#x153;the  true  storyâ&#x20AC;?  that  it  was  advertised  as.  It  is  a  lie.

All  the  information  I  found  about  Anne  Boleyn,  I  found  mostly  through  articles  and Â

books  for  the  sake  of  my  research  paper.  But  in  reality,  primary  sources  and  evidence  about  her  was  available  with  a  simple  Google  search.  I  understand  that  some  blanks  need  to  be  ¿ OOHG LQ KLVWRULFDO QRYHOV DQG PRVW DXWKRUV will  provide  their  sources  and  differentiate  be-­ WZHHQ IDFW DQG Âż FWLRQ ,W LV XS WR WKH UHDGHU WR read  through  those  authorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  notes  and  educate  themselves  on  the  real  history.

Trivializing  true  stories  to  make  them  more  entertaining  makes  consumers  ignorant.  Doing  a  simple  internet  search  is  the  difference  be-­ tween  an  ignorant  consumer  and  an  educated  one.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;First optionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is all senior music major needed

By Ashley Hain Staff  Writer

When  Raquel  Bruening  was  in  fourth  grade,  she  decided  to  play  clarinet  without  giving  any  thought  to  another  instrument.  Bruening  stuck  by  the  decision  and  is  get-­ ting  ready  for  one  of  the  biggest  performances  in  her  career:  her  senior  recital  at  UW-­White-­ water.  Bruening,  a  Music  Edu-­ cation  major,  will  be  per-­ forming  at  3  p.m.  Feb.  9,  in  the  Greenhill  Center  of  the  Arts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My  band  director  played  clarinet,â&#x20AC;?  Bruening  Ellenwood said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  thought  it  was  just  gorgeous.â&#x20AC;?  +HU ROGHU VLVWHU SOD\HG WKH Ă&#x20AC; XWH ZKHQ VKH was  younger  and  Bruening  said  it  wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  the  best  experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  stand  it,â&#x20AC;?  Bruening  said.

Clarinet  was  the  only  instrument  Bruen-­ ing  wrote  down  on  the  sheet  she  was  given  when  asked  to  pick  one,  even  though  she  had  WKUHH VSDFHV WR Âż OO Âł<RX NQRZ KRZ WKH\ SXW Âż UVW VHFRQG third  option?â&#x20AC;?  Bruening  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  just  put  one.  Just  clarinet.â&#x20AC;?

Bruening  said  her  parents  have  always Â

been  very  supportive  of  her  and  continue  to  be  supportive  as  she  carries  on  with  her  clarinet.

When  asked  to  sum  up  Raquelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  person-­ ality,  Professor  Christian  Ellenwood,  Ph.D.,  had  only  kind  words  to  say.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;[She  is]  Artistic,  engaged  and  quietly  strong,â&#x20AC;?  Ellenwood  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;She  works  hard  to  think  of  something  while  she  plays,  be  it  a  person,  place,  or  emotion  and  does  her  best  to  make  that  come  across  to  the  audience.  Do-­ ing  this  helps  her  feel  some-­ thing,  and  she  hopes  the  audience  can  then  feel  that  something  in  return.â&#x20AC;?

Another  of  her  profes-­ sors,  Director  of  Bands  Glenn  Hayes,  Ph.D.,  Hayes echoed  Ellenwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  senti-­ ments  and  said  her  musical  ambition  was  incredible.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think,  in  the  most  positive  sense  of  those  words,  she  has  a  strong  desire  to  achieve  in  a  very  positive  manner,â&#x20AC;?  Hayes  said.  She  wants  to  be  the  best  musician  she  can  possibly  be,  and  the  best  person  she  can  possibly  be.â&#x20AC;?

Bruening  said  her  musical  talent  and  am-­ bition  is  inspired  by  everything  around  her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When  I  play  it  means  something  to  me,â&#x20AC;?  Bruening  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully,  that  emotion  crosses  over  to  the  audience,  and  they  feel  something  too.â&#x20AC;? Â

Choosing  UW-­Whitewater  as  her  college  ZDVQÂśW GLIÂż FXOW %UXHQLQJ VDLG DV :KLWH water  had  a  trump  card.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr.  Ellenwood,  my  clarinet  pro-­ fessor,â&#x20AC;?  Bruening  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  auditioned  at  6  other  colleges  and  got  into  all  of  them,  but  nobody  was  like  him.  Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  the  reason  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  here.â&#x20AC;?  Ellenwood  said  he  was  hon-­ ored  and  has  strived  to  encour-­ age  and  strengthen  Brueningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  musical  abilities,  along  with  many  other  professors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  feel  privileged  to  be  able  to  teach  her,â&#x20AC;?  Ellenwood  said.  Bruening  said  all  of  her  pro-­ fessors  have  been  phenomenal,  from  her  music  theory  profes-­ sor  to  her  piano  instructor,  El-­ lenwood  and  Hayes.

Hayes  said  he  was  glad  to  have  taught  such  a  dynamic  student  and  compassionate  person.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Raquel  is  just  one  of  those  exemplary  people  that  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  lucky  they  cross  your  lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  path.,â&#x20AC;?  Hayes  said.

The  Warhawks  menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  and  womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  swim  and  dive  team  started  the  season  with  low  expec-­ tations.  Given  the  teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  recent  success,  a  push  for  the  WIAC  title  is  not  out  of  the  question. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  we  are  looking  better  than  we  ever  have  before,â&#x20AC;?  head  coach  Joel  Rollings  said.  The  past  weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  meet  was  hosted  by  UW-­Whitewater.  Their  opponent  was  UW-­La  Crosse.  The  meet  was  pre-­analyzed  as  a  test  to  see  who  will  be  the  strongest  ath-­ letes  to  put  into  events  at  confer-­ ence.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;When  you  get  to  confer-­ ences  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  al-­ lowed  to  swim  three  events  plus  relays,â&#x20AC;?  Roll-­ ings  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;So  we  Rollings KDYH WR Âż JXUH RXW who  we  are  go-­ ing  to  have  for  our  relays.  This  meet,  we  are  kind  of  looking  at  that,  rather  than  looking  at  this  as  a  dual  meet.â&#x20AC;?
