Free legal advice available for students WSG  contracts  lawyer  to  assist  students

By Lucas Wimmer Staff  Writer

 As  college  students,  there  are  many  times  when  a  lawyer  could  be  helpful.  Disagreements  with  a  landlord,  underage  drinking  WLFNHWV DQG WUDIÂż F WLFNHWV DUH DOO common  occurrences  among  stu-­ dents.  But  lawyers  can  be  expen-­ sive,  and  college  students  do  not  usually  have  money  readily  available  for  a  lawyer.  So  what  options  do  college  students  have?  That’s  where  Craig  Johnson  comes  in.   “Most  young  men  and  young  women  have  never  been  exposed  to  the  police,  the  legal  system,  landlords  and  tenants,  signing Â

contracts,  etc.,  so  they  don’t  know  what  their  rights  are,�  he  said.  Johnson  is  a  lawyer  con-­ tracted  by  Whitewater  Student  Government  to  provide  free  legal  advice  to  UW-­  Whitewater  stu-­ dents.   U W-­ W h i t e -­ water  junior  Mjay  Bouska  believes  this  is  a  valuable  asset  Bouska for  students.    “I  know  I’ve  personally  had  an  issue  with  a  landlord,�  Bous-­ ka  said.  “If  students  know  about  the  free  legal  advice  it  can  be  a  lot  easier  for  them  to  save  some  money  or  some  hassle.�  His  advice  usually  consists  of  what  the  individual  can  expect  in  court,  what  Johnson  thinks  their  chances  are  of  beating  or  amend-­

ing  a  criminal  charge  and  what  he  advises  they  should  do  with  their  issue.  Johnson  cannot  take  cases  for  the  students,  but  will  of-­ fer  his  advice  to  their  problems  and  recommend  them  to  a  lawyer  if  they  need  fur-­ ther  assistance.  If  an  issue  is  still  unresolved,  he  will  meet  with  a  person  more  than  Murphy once.   “A  lot  of  students  come  back  to  me  a  number  of  times  until  it  does  get  resolved,â€?  he  said.  Johnson  has  been  advising  UW-­W  students  for  the  last  two  years.  WSG  contracts  a  lawyer  for  three  years  at  a  time,  and  takes  bids  when  the  contract  is  expired  to  choose  a  new  lawyer  or  keep  the  old  one.

   When  one  student  succeeds,  it  is  a  success  for  the  entire  campus.   National  titles,  academic  honors,  and  awards  bring  forth  a  sense  of  pride  and  success  on  campus  that  is  contagious.  U W-­ W h i t e -­ water  can  claim  more  success  through  the  achievements  of  Stephanie  Ab-­ bott  who  was  Mackin recently  chosen  for  one  of  the  respected  New-­ man  Civic  Fellows  Awards.   The  award  is  presented  to  only  181  college  students  in  the  country  who  exemplify  positive  civic  leadership.   “These  students  represent  the  next  generation  of  public  prob-­ lem  solvers  and  civic  leaders,â€?  said  Dean  of  Students,  Mary  Beth  Mackin.  Mackin  saw  promise  in  Ab-­ bott  from  the  very  beginning,  and  decided  to  nominate  her  for  the  national  award.   “I  was  impressed  with  her  from  day  one,â€?  Mackin  said.  “She  is  so  bright  and  she  did  such Â

Leadership natural for senior speaker Sydney Nelson

will address the spring graduating class

By Michael Riley Assistant News Editor

When Sydney Nelson ad-­ dresses her fellow graduates at the 2012-­13 Spring Commence-­ ment Ceremony, she will com-­ plete a trifecta;; the final piece to a puzzle, which includes speak-­ ing at her middle school and high Brizcoe school gradua-­ tions.

Solving this puzzle has led Nelson on an undergraduate ca-­ reer across the campus and the world.

“As a student who took ad-­ vantage of every single oppor-­ tunity, resource, leadership po-­ sition, networking potential and volunteer experience that White-­ water provided, I can’t just focus on one thing that means the most to me,” Nelson said. “Each and every one of those things that I have done has contributed to who I am as a person.”

For Nelson, being a role mod-­ el for her peers began before she ever set foot on Whitewater soil.

Frieda Briscoe, director of the Minority Business Program,

remembers responding to Nelson via email in the June before she came to campus as a freshman.

Nelson applied for the Summer Business Institute, which is a transitional program for new stu-­ dents, and was accepted.

Once the pair met, Briscoe was immediately impressed by Nelson’s communication skills as a freshman, and that admiration four years ago has blossomed into an important relationship for Nelson.

“She doesn’t have barriers that interfere with her goals,” Briscoe said. “Sydney is Clements very good at vi-­ sualization. She sees the end result, and everything she does has a purpose. It all fits into her master plan, and she never takes her eye off it.”

Briscoe is the adviser for the National Association of Black Accountants, an organization that Nelson has served as the vice president and president.

“She has been my resource for all things professional,” Nelson said. “Without her, I can truly say I would not be in the position I am today.”

When Nelson came for a tour, she still remembers how engag-­ ing and lively the campus assis-­ tant was, a position she found herself fulfilling later in her ca-­ reer.

“I think the general atmo-­ Even though Nelson knew sphere when you step on this she wanted to major in account-­ campus makes you feel like you ing, she had two goals. are home,” Nelson said.

It has translated “Seeing those individuals to how I view my reputation on being extremely successful, not campus as a whole. I am very only in their professional or per-­ aware of how others perceive sonal lives, but turning around me.” and making connections with the next generation to make sure they are following their lead,” Nelson said.

She has taken NABA’s motto and applied it to her own life’s philosophy;; lifting as we climb.

Nelson has been lifting UW-­ Whitewater students in a variety of ways, whether it be volunteer-­

“I really try to set a prime ex-­ ample of what people can be if they just have the right mindset,” Nelson said. “I am not saying I am the best or amazing. I am really trying to showcase to un-­ derclassmen that with the right mindset, network and motivation you can do anything you want to do.”

Regardless of the detailed journey Nelson had planned for herself, traveling abroad was something that she did not expect to be so heavily involved in.

She has traveled to Ghana, El Salvador, Brazil, England, Ireland and China. While pursu-­ ing her Spanish minor, she com-­ pleted an international internship in Mexico as a foreign exchange student.

Christine Clements, dean of the College of Business and Economics, has become close to Nelson during the past four years and recognizes her uniqueness.

“I think Sydney is really ex-­ ceptional,” Clements said. “A [student like] Sydney rolls along every five to ten years. It has to do with the number and extent of the kinds of involvement. We have a lot of exceptional stu-­ dents on campus, but the kind of breadth of Sydney’s activities is not common.”

Nelson will return to fin-­ ish her master’s degree at UW-­ Whitewater and will continue to have the mindset of lifting as she climbs. A journey that, if it is anything like her undergraduate career, will be bright and full of success.

Wine Corkboard

What you’ll need: Old picture frame, hot glue gun, more than 50 wine bottle corks, square corkboard, smooth-edged steak knife.

1. Re-use an old framed picture that

has an interesting frame. Remove any artwork or embellishments, leaving just the frame and back support.

2. Cut corks in half along the long

side of the cork. A smooth-edged steak knife works the best. (Keep in mind your safety. After a few cuts, your hands may get tired. Take breaks.)

3. Lay the corks out on your back

support to make sure your pattern works with the number of corks you have to work with.

4. Using a hot glue gun, cover the

 EX WMHI SJ XLI LEPZIH GSVO [MXL KPYI and immediately place it on the back support, applying a bit of pressure.

5. Once your outside ring of corks is

glued down, measure the inside square ERH GYX ]SYV WUYEVI GSVOFSEVH XS Á X Hot glue the square into the middle. To add depth, glue a few cork halves to the middle of the square corkboard.

6. Use your homemade, low-cost

wine corkboard to post notes, grocery lists or pictures.

Sudoku Sudoku can be solved by placing a digit in each of the remaining empty squares so that each of the nine rows, nine columns and nine mini-­grids contain all digits from one to nine.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bad  human  communication  leaves  us  less  room  to  grow.â&#x20AC;?  -­Rowan  D.  Williams

WEDNESDAY May  8,  2013

Opinion  Editor: Josh  Hafemeister

PAGE Â 7

Student-­â&#x20AC;?teacher  relations  rely  on  communication Royal Purple Editorial  Staff  Opinion

Students  have  heard  of  this  before.  A  student  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  know  his  or  her  grade  and  has  no  idea  how  they  are  doing  in  the  class.  Teachers  change  what  they  have  scheduled  on  the  syllabus.  These  situations  are  nothing  new  in  col-­ lege.  The  issue,  however,  is  that  students  and  teachers  do  not  al-­ ways  communicate  with  each  oth-­ er  about  grades  and  changes  to  the  syllabus.  Teachers  must  constant-­ ly  make  sure  they  are  communi-­ cating  with  their  students  about  syllabus  changes  and  grades.  Stu-­ dents  must  take  the  time  to  ask  teachers  about  their  grades  and  what  is  expected  of  them  when  they  are  uncertain  as  well.

Being  up  to  date  with  grades  helps  students  decide  where  to  de-­ vote  their  study  time.  If  a  student  has  a  B  in  one  class  and  a  C  in  another  class,  the  student  knows  to  spend  more  study  time  on  the  class  with  a  C.  If  a  student  is  con-­ stantly  aware  of  his  or  her  grade,  the  student  can  communicate  with  the  teacher  if  there  is  a  discrep-­ ancy  with  the  grade  the  student  received  or  inquire  about  extra Â

credit  opportunities.  The  syllabus  is  an  agreement  between  the  teacher  and  his  or  her  students.  What  is  on  the  syllabus  is  what  is  expected  of  the  student  throughout  the  semester,  and  the  teacher  is  expected  to  adhere  to  his  or  her  own  syllabus.  If  the  teacher  changes  a  task  on  the  syl-­ labus  without  communicating  to  the  students,  should  the  students  still  be  held  responsible  for  com-­ pleting  the  task?  No,  they  should  not.  It  is  the  responsibility  of  the  teacher  in  this  case  to  communi-­ cate  with  the  students  that  there  is  a  change  to  the  syllabus.  Students  should  take  the  time  to  read  the  syllabus  front  to  back.  The  teachers  write  the  syllabi  for  WKH EHQH¿ W RI WKH VWXGHQWV 6WX dents  are  expected  to  know  dead-­ lines  for  homework.  If  a  student  does  not  hand  in  his  or  her  home-­ work  on  time,  his  or  her  grade  suffers  for  it.

Some  teachers  do  a  fantastic  job  communicating  and  being  re-­ liable  with  their  students,  either  by  posting  grades  for  students  online  via  D2L,  making  sure  they  are  handing  back  assignments  to  students  as  soon  as  they  are  grad-­ ed  or  notifying  students  via  email Â

Sydney Michuda graphic/0LFKXGD6. #XZZ HGX

or  in  class  about  syllabus  chang-­ es.  There  needs  to  be  consistency  between  teachers  on  these  issues.  Students  cannot  be  expected  to  know  their  grade  or  what  to  do  if  the  syllabus  is  changed  without  being  told.

Students  need  to  constantly  take  the  time  to  inquire  about  grades  or  timelines  if  they  are  not  sure.  Communication  is  a  two  way  street.  All  teachers  post  ei-­ ther  a  phone  number  or  an  email  address  in  the  syllabus,  and  all Â

WHDFKHUV KDYH RI¿ FH KRXUV ZKHQ a  student  may  speak  to  them  in  person.  Students  should  capitalize  on  this  to  communicate  with  their  teachers  about  any  questions  or  concerns  they  have.

An  example  of  such  circum-­ stances  would  be  dismal  weather,  such  as  what  Wisconsin  had  to-­ ward  the  beginning  of  the  semes-­ ter.  If  a  teacher  needs  to  cancel  class  due  to  the  weather,  they  must  notify  the  students  and  ensure  the  class  is  aware  of  any  changes  to  the  syllabus.  If  the  teacher  de-­ cides  not  to  cancel  class  but  some  students  are  unable  to  make  it  to  class,  it  is  their  responsibility  to  notify  the  teacher  and  ask  them  what  is  expected  of  them  because  they  missed  a  class  period.

Communication  is  key  in  school,  just  like  any  job  or  rela-­ tionship.  If  one  party  is  not  com-­ municating  with  the  other  about  recent  changes  to  either  grades  or  the  syllabus,  then  the  students  cannot  expect  to  get  the  best  grade  possible.  Students  and  teachers  must  be  in  constant  communica-­ tion  over  deadlines  and  grades  throughout  the  semester. rp@uww.edu

I never knew that my college experience would be coming to a close so soon. To tell you the truth it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even hit me yet. These past four years have gone by so quickly. But before I leave, there are so many people I need to thank.

To God: Without you I would have never made it Lynn Marolt Advertising Manager through anything.

To my family: You are my rock and my every thing. You believe in me even when I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe in myself, and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever thank you enough for that. Mom, thanks for always listening and helping me through everything. What would I do without you? Dad and Jen, thanks for your insight on life. You both always seem to know what to say. Jenn, you are my better half, and without you I would be nothing. You get me better than anyone, and words canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t describe what you

mean to me. (SBL + EWG).

To my RP Staff: You have all worked so hard. Thank you for always taking the extra steps to be successful. I appreciate you all so much. This job truly has been an amazing opportunity! Heena, without you this job would not have been possible. You dealt with me through all my ups and downs. You are the truest of friends. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait see where life takes us, but I know you will always be there for me no matter what.

To my RA friends and staff: You all work tirelessly everyday, and I know how much you truly do. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for impacting the lives of so many residents and mine as well. Terry, I always say this, but thank you. Your mentoring and words of wisdom are something I will cherish forever.

To Golden Key: Who said smart kids canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have friends? Not me! Thank you for the opportunity to lead our chapter, and to watch so many others grow into amazing

leaders. I will miss you all.

To my ladies: Jenn, Kayhla, Felicia, Liz, Alicia, Heena, You ladies get me. Thank you for being loyal and true. You are all so important to me so much so that I consider you family.

To everyone else: Thank you. I know I am missing so many people, but please know that my life would not have been the same without you. You all know who you are and the impact you have made, so I will thank you once again.

7KH WLUHOHVV QLJKWV DUH Ă&#x20AC; QDOO\ coming to a close. Whitewater you have given me so many opportunities, and I am beyond grateful. This is just the beginning of many more things to come. Looking back, this all seems to have gone by so fast.

CONGRATULATIONS, ALI BLANCHARD! The Creative Act

by Judy Collins

Sydney-­ Congratulations on reaching another mile-­ stone in your life. Continue to grow, learn, and love whatever you do. We will always be there to encourage, support, and love you, no matter what.

Just remember: In your happy moments...Praise God. In your difficult moments...Seek God. In your quiet moments...Worship God. In your painful moments...Trust God. and In every moment...Thank God. Loving you always and forever in every moment, Dad, Mom & Brother (David)

The creative act is one of great boldness where you act on your own beliefs. Creativity is the ability to risk being different from the crowd, to think differently, to act differently, and yet in a calculated, orderly fashion so that your idea, your vision, your new insight, is clear. It is the successful effort to make completeness out of chaos, to make the world dance, for a moment or forever, to your drum, at your pace, to your dream.

With pride and love always, Mom, Dad, Jessica & Amber

Bailey, we don’t stop going to school when we graduate. Graduation is a process that goes on until the last day of your life. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.

Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow know what you truly want to become. We are so proud of your success.

Luv ya tons Mom, Dad & Shelby

your  foes  is  that  merchants  will  sell  items  to  you  at  a  steeper  price.  In  my  experience,  the  pros  of  taking  the  Serum  of  fallen  foes  to  craft  some  much-­needed  health  injections  far  outweighed  the  cons  of  having  some  salesman  be  upset  with  me.

Concerning  Role  Playing  Game,  or  RPG  elements,  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  got  your  typical  leveling  and  crafting  system.  Upon  gaining  a  level,  Temperance  can  put  two  points  into  one  of  three  skill  trees  highlighting  either  com-­ bat,  rogue  abilities  such  as  stealth,  or  Technomancy  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  which  is  essen-­ tially  magic.  Tiers  in  each  tree  unlock  inde-­ pendently  as  you  progress,  forcing  players  to  choose  their  skills  careful-­ ly.  On  top  of  that,  Temperance  gets  a  single  feat  point  every  level  gain,  which  players  can  use  to  enhance  non-­combat  skills.

The  crafting  system  is  straight-­ forward;Íž  you  can  recycle  unwanted  items  for  parts  to  craft  new  items  and  armor,  letting  players  customize  their  offensive  and  defensive  gear.  While  the  leveling  system  worked  well  in  true  RPG  fashion,  the  crafting  system  would  have  been  more  fun  to  use  if  the  user  interface  wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  so  tedious  to  navigate.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  fun  to  craft  when  you  have  to  click  through  three  menus  to  create  a  sin-­ gle  item  at  a  time.

What  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  work  well  is  the  combat.  In  a  near-­future  cyberpunk  setting  on  the  red  planet,  you  would  think  most  weapons  would  be  high-­ WHFK ÂżUHDUPV OLNH SODVPD JXQV RU something.  Not  in  Mars:  War  Logs.  Everyone,  including  the  military,  beat  each  other  with  clubs  and  steel  bars  like  dystopian  cavemen.  Prepare  to  experience  more  PHOHH FRPEDW WKDQ DQ\ VFL Âż 53* should  ever  contain.  When  you  do  JHW D KROG RI D ÂżUHDUP LWÂśV D VHPL automatic  nail  gun.  Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  right,  when  trained  soldiers  arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  smash-­ ing  each  otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  skulls  in  with  tire  irons,  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  taking  pot  shots  at  their  enemies  with  power  tools.  The  combat  itself  feels  solid  when  it  works,  but  sluggish  and  clunky  when  it  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,  which  is  most  of  the  time.  When  tak-­ ing  swings  at  a  bad  guy,  I  felt  like Â

Temperanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  attacks  were  always  a  move  behind  my  input.  Nearly  every  time  I  died  I  felt  cheated,  like  it  was  the  gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  fault  I  was  killed  and  not  my  own.  It  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  help  that  your  AI  part-­ ners  arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  worth  anything  but  to  use  as  bait  to  distract  one  half  of  the  op-­ ponents  while  you  deal  with  the  oth-­ ers.  Using  your  electric  Technoman-­ cy  powers  is  fun,  but  when  shooting  a  metal  nail  at  someone  damages  them  more  than  a  bolt  of  lightning,  you  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  help  feeling  disappointed.  Utilizing  the  lock-­on  camera  to  deal  with  a  choice  opponent  sounds  like  a  good  move  to  make,  but  the  V\VWHP LV VR ÂżQLFN\ WKDW , RIWHQ GLHG trying  to  get  it  to  work  before  I  could  lock  on  to  anyone.  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d  stay  away  from  it.

For  all  my  issues  with  the  game,  I  think  Mars:  War  Logsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  most  re-­ deeming  feature  is  its  aesthetics.  The  animations,  graphics  and  overall  visual  style  look  and  feel  great  for  a  game  with  low  produc-­ tion  values,  a  testament  to  Spidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  artistic  skill.  I  wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  say  Mars:  War  Logs  is  a  bad  game,  but  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  much  of  a  good  game  either.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  to  say  it  couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  be  one.  The  developers  clearly  have  a  lot  of  talent,  but  the  pieces  of  this  puzzle  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  come  together  in  the  way  they,  or  I,  hoped  they  would.

If  Spiders  can  improve  every  faulty  facet  of  Mars:  War  Logs  just  a  notable  amount,  a  sequel  to  this  game  could  be  one  worth  paying  at-­ tention  to.

The  WIAC  Conference  Tour-­ nament  begins  this  weekend  and  the  Warhawks  have  high  expecta-­ tions  for  the  outcome.  The  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hawks  have  been  suc-­ cessful  so  far  this  season.  The  team  has  a  30-­5  overall  conference  record,  and  they  were  named  2013  WIAC  Champions  for  the  14th  time  in  school  history.  Accord-­ ing  to  the  most  recent  D3baseball. com  poll,  the  team  is  ranked  No.  4  in  the  nation,  not  to  mention  UW-­Whitewaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  smartest  menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  sports  team,  with  a  grade  point  av-­ erage  of  3.161 â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  are  abso-­ lutely  a  regional  c o n t e n d e r , â&#x20AC;?  Head  coach  John  Vodenlich  said.  The  great-­ est  opponents  in  the  WIAC  Cladis are  UW-­Stevens  Point  and  UW-­La  Crosse  for  the  â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hawks.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stevens  Point  is  a  quality  program,â&#x20AC;?  Vodenlich  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;They  have  been  there  every  step  of  the  way.  Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  good  chance  they  ZLOO Âż QLVK VHFRQG /D &URVVH KDV some  very  good  pitching.â&#x20AC;?

The  â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hawks  have  a  record  of  3-­4  against  UW-­Stevens  Point.  Other  teams  in  the  tournament  UW-­Oshkosh  and  UW-­Superior,  also  have  a  telling  reputation  and  are  not  counted  out  as  competition  either.  Vodenlich  said  that  the  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hawks  have  good  pitching,  starters,  and  a  lethal  offensive  lineup.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  done  it  on  all  sides  of  the  ball,â&#x20AC;?  Vodenlich  said.  The  â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  minds  have  been  set,  since  fall,  to  go  deep  in  the  season,  Vodelich  said.  With  that  said,  they  wanted  to  push  for  a  na-­ tional  championship.  Senior  captain  David  Cladis Â

said  he  thinks  this  team  is  the  most  prepared  out  of  his  time  playing  with  the  â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hawks.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully  we  can  bring  it  home.  We  have  the  veterans  to  do  it.  Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  all  been  there  before,  so  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  expecting  nothing  less  than  a  championship,â&#x20AC;?  Cladis  said.

The  NCAA  tournament  also  is  in  sight  for  the  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hawks.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;As  far  as  getting  into  the  [NCAA]  tournament,  I  think  our  chances  are  pretty  good,â&#x20AC;?  Cladis  said.  Vodenlich  said  the  team  is  not  overlooking  the  WIAC  tourna-­ ment,  but  they  are  prepared  as  they  are  going  to  get. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  would  be  surprised  if  we  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  get  in  [to  the  NCAA  tourna-­ ment].  But,  this  tournament  is  the  only  way  in,  so  we  are  not  tak-­ ing  it  lightly,â&#x20AC;?  Vodenlich  said.  As  far  as  the  NCAA  Tourna-­ ment  goes,  the  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hawks  will  host  Bartlein on  Prucha  Field  at  James  B.  Mill-­ er  Stadium  May  16  through  19.  Last  Wednesday,  the  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hawks  played  The  College  of  St.  Scho-­ lastica  Saints  and  swept  them  15-­5  and  5-­3.  The  Saints  are  a  contend-­ er  in  the  NCAA  tournament.   Senior  shortstop  Steven  Bartle-­ in  thought  the  end  results  were  good  foreshadows  for  the  NCAA  tournament.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  tonight  actually  repre-­ sented  that  well,  because  that  was  a  team  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  seen  in  the  regional  the  last  couple  of  years,â&#x20AC;?  Bartlein  said.  The  next  step  after  the  NCAA  Tournament  for  the  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hawks  would  be  the  College  World  Series.  The  team  has  played  at  the  College  World  Series  in  2004,  2005,  2008  and  2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully  we  peak  at  the  right  times,  so  we  can  get  there  again,â&#x20AC;?  Cladis  said.  DuPuisJC28@uww.edu

Carollo  provides  family  touch Â&#x201E; Voted  Royal  Purple Â

Coach  of  the  Year Feature

By Andrew Bayliss Staff  Writer

A  season  can  be  made  or  broken  in  the  postseason.  The  Warhawks  womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  basketball  team  had  a  suc-­ FHVVIXO UHJXODU VHDVRQ Âż QLVKLQJ 5,  but  that  season  was  made  special  by  an  unforgettable  NCAA  Tourna-­ ment  run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  was  a  once-­in-­a-­lifetime  op-­ portunity,â&#x20AC;?  junior  point  guard  Kai-­ tlyn  Thill  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach  was  like  a  second  mom  to  usâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;she  brought  us  all  together  and  made  our  team  have  so  much  chemistry.â&#x20AC;?

Head  coach  Keri  Carollo  was  at  the  helm  of  D3hoops.comâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  s e c o n d -­ r a n k e d  Warhawks  squad.  &DUROORÂśV WK year  coaching  at  UW-­Whitewater  was  her  most  suc-­ Thill cessful.  She  guided  the  â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hawks  to  a  reg-­ ular  season  WIAC  championship,  before  leading  the  team  to  the  best  NCAA  Tournament  in  UW-­W  his-­ WRU\ Âż QLVKLQJ DV UXQQHUV XS IRU WKH national  championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  was  very  special,â&#x20AC;?  junior  guard  Mary  Merg  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  ac-­ complished  what  no  other  UW-­W  womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  team  has  accomplished  by  making  it  to  the  national  champion-­ ship  game.â&#x20AC;?

With  a  majority  of  the  key  con-­ WULEXWRUV UHWXUQLQJ IURP WKH

VTXDG WKH œ+DZNV HQWHUHG WKH season  ranked  No.  8,  according  to  D3hoops.com.  Eight  weeks  into  the  season,  however,  the  team  dropped  RXWVLGH WKH QDWLRQœV WRS IROORZ ing  a  pair  of  conference  losses  to  UW-­Superior  and  UW-­Oshkosh.

Even  though  the  â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hawks  did  not  live  up  to  preseason  expecta-­ WLRQV GXULQJ WKH Âż UVW KDOI RI WKH \HDU Carollo  helped  her  team  stay  posi-­ tive  and  use  the  tough  times  to  band  together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  could  have  gone  one  of  two  ways  at  that  point  in  the  season,â&#x20AC;?  Carollo  said,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;and  the  next  day,  I  walked  into  practice  and  said,  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  just  going  to  play  and  have  fun.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Her  approach  worked.  The  œ+DZNV Âż QLVKHG WKH UHJXODU VHDVRQ with  an  eight-­game  WIAC  winning  VWUHDN DQG IRXJKW EDFN WR 1R LQ the  rankings.  After  the  loss  to  UW-­Oshkosh,  the  ladies  returned  to  their  home  court  and  crushed  UW-­Stout.  Merg  credited  Carolloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Merg belief  in  the  team  and  consistent  message. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She  always  reminded  us  during  practice  of  our  goals,â&#x20AC;?  Merg  said,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;and  even  when  we  werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  ranked,  she  kept  reminding  us  that  our  goals  were  still  a  conference  and  national  championship.â&#x20AC;?

The  recurring  theme  for  Car-­ olloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  team  this  season  was  family.  Merg  and  Thill  said  the  atmosphere  of  Warhawks  womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  basket-­ ball  was  apparent  before  they  even  stepped  foot  on  UW-­Whitewaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  campus. Â
