Edmonds to step down as athletic director Amy Edmonds, athletic director for the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, will be changing job positions to become an associate athletic director once an interim director is named in her place.

UW-W spokesperson Sara Kuhl did not elaborate on the reason for the change in Edmonds’ role within the UW-Whitewater Intercollegiate

Athletic Department.

In an additional email to News 3 reporter Adam Schrager on Monday, Kuhl said Edmonds’ role change was not due to the recent lawsuit involving former head Edmonds wrestling coach Tim

Fader, where Edmonds is named as a defendant.

Additionally, Kuhl did not elaborate on who made the decision to change Edmonds’ role within the department, but did note that the role of athletic director is directly below the chancellor, meaning that Chancellor Beverly Kopper having a say in Edmonds’ role change is not

guaranteed, but likely.

Any changes seen in the athletic department as a result to a shift in Edmonds’ role will be subject to the decision of the interim athletic director, who is expected to be named by university representatives this week. Until then, Kuhl says, the

Family fun

In conjunction with multiple sporting events, UW-Whitewater held their annual Family Fest activities on Saturday, Oct. 8. Family Fest contributed to the highest number of attendees at a Division III football game in history, reaching 17,535 spectators.

The UW System Board of Regents touched on five factors of college affordability including state funding, financial aid, cost to deliver, tuition as well as the time it takes students to graduate while discussing the resolution the Board unanimously approved on Sunday Oct 9.

College affordability is an issue that is being addressed on many different levels throughout the Board of Regents and the UW system.

“We have requested more financial aid for our students, approved a state funding request for initiatives to address afford-

ability, continued to streamline operations, and have now addressed tuition so that our families can plan ahead.”

The Board also recommended keeping the tuition freeze for the 2018 academic year as well as approved a cost-of-living increase for tuition in 2019.

Moving On David L. Miller, vice president for administration and fiscal affairs for the University of Wisconsin System announced he has accepted a new position as chief financial officer for the University of Tennessee System, beginning in January, 2017.

Local lockbox ordinance decision pushed back Ashley McCallum Co-Editor in Chief

Whitewater business owners and community members will remain locked out of a decision on the Key Lock Box Ordinance after the Whitewater Common Council decided to defer final action until its Nov. 1 meeting.

A revised version of the ordinance was brought to

the Council at the Oct. 4 meeting. The ordinance makes it mandatory for some local businesses and residences to install an external lock box. This box would hold a set of keys for their building, in which “qualified” members of the Whitewater Police Department and Whitewater Volunteer Fire Department would have access to in case an emergency oc-

curred when owners or key holders cannot be reached.

The new version reduced the amount of buildings required to install a lockbox from 102 to 58.

The newest amendments to the ordinance proposed that the boxes only be mandatory in school buildings, multi-family residences with three or more units and new commercial structures. It also stated that

boxes would be placed at a minimum of nine feet above the sidewalk, instead of the previously decided six feet, in an effort to prevent vandalism.

Fire Chief Don Gregoire said the goal is to keep the public safe while creating the least amount of damage to properties. The fire department encourages the ordinance, stating there are situations now where offi-

cers wait hours before they can access buildings.

Assistant Fire Chief Mike Higgins said 45 percent of their calls are alarm calls, some of which pose no immediate external threat or reason to use forced entry at the scene.

“We don’t wanna break a door down,” Gregoire said.

“Life safety is a huge com-

Meet the candidate: Don Vruwink

With incumbent Andy Jorgensen (D-Milton) electing to not run again for his seat in the Wisconsin State Assembly, Don Vruwink, a retired social studies teacher for the Milton School District, a city council and school board member is one of three candidates looking to fill the seat come November.

The Royal Purple conducted a phone interview with Vruwink to discuss his motivations to run for the 43rd District, the issues he’s centered his campaign on and his desire to lead a busy life.

Royal Purple: What was your main motivation in running for the 43rd District for this election cycle?

Don Vruwink: There’s a number of motivations I’ve had. First, I’m running to be a champion of public education because when I started as a teacher many years ago … I felt very respected and valued by our state and our legislator. I think since then, we’ve entered a period where we’ve had a Republican majority and a governor who actively work to devalue public education. The drastic cuts to education are going to have a long-lasting effect that we are going to see for a while, especially, I believe, in our two-year colleges. We’re one of the few states that don’t have community colleges – almost every other state has ‘community college’ – and we’ve heard a lot about college debt recently. There are an element of kids that can’t afford to go to a fouryear school right away, and two-year colleges have been hurt most by the governor’s cuts. If they continue to cut

the way they are, they might close completely. That was one of my major motivations, because I’ve had a lot of students over the years that are not wealthy and they can’t afford to go to school right away, and those two-year colleges help them considerably.

But I’m also concerned about the fight for public workers.

Collective bargaining is still something that I could agree [that] two groups can sit down and work out a contract, so I think we need to restore that.

But we also need to be advocate of good government.

I think the first way to have a good government is to have photo submitted by Don Vruwink non-partisan redistricting.

Campaigns ramp up as election winds down Kimberly Wethal Co-Editor in Chief

As an election cycle spanning almost a year and a half enters its final weeks before the Nov. 8 election day, both voters and candidates for public office all over the state of Wisconsin are preparing for the ballot box.

On campus, advocates for the Warhawks Vote campaign are ramping up their efforts to get students to actively engage in politics.

Around the state, candidates for local and national races were invited – and one in particular, disinvited – to address supporters and campaign for multiple candidates at once.

Across the campus Fewer days until the election means a change in focus for Jan Bilgen, associate director for Career and Leadership Development, and the Warhawks Vote campaign.

The Warhawks Vote campaign is a collaboration between Whitewater Student Government, League of Women Voters, Marketing and Media Relations, Career and Leadership Development and the City of Whitewater Clerk’s office.

The campaign’s main goal at the moment is getting either students registered to vote for the first time, or pushing to re-register students who have moved to different addresses on campus since the prior elections.

“We really want everybody to be politically active,” Bilgen said. “We’re hoping that the drives scheduled for next week are really successful.”

Voter registration drives are scheduled for this week, twice on the Wyman Mall between the University Center and Hyland Hall, and one for each dining hall. The Wyman Mall events will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Wednesday, Oct. 12 and 13.

Drumlin and Esker Halls will see the Warhawks Vote

campaign on Oct. 12 and 13, respectively, both sessions running from 4 to 7 p.m.

Absentee voting will take place from 5:30 t0 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 13 at the Career and Leadership Development front desk.

Once Oct. 19 rolls around, the last day the campaign can pre-register students to vote on campus, the group’s focus will shift again, this time working to ensure students are aware of the documentation needed at the ballot box.

The latest legislation pertaining voting in Wisconsin requires citizens to bring a valid photo ID in the form of a driver’s license, military ID card, passport or a voter identification card issued by either the state of Wisconsin, UW-Whitewater or a federally recognized Indian tribe.

Coming off of a record number of students voting on campus last spring in the April 5 primary election, Bilgen says the importance of registering young voters remains the same as it always has.

“As an institution, we’re dedicated to creating global citizens who are politically active,” Bilgen said. “Politically active people need to vote … I don’t care how they vote. I just want them to vote.”

Around the state The past week, either the presidential candidates themselves or delegates to speak on their behalf were on the campaign trail in Wisconsin.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) stopped in Madison last week Thursday to promote his primary election rival and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) and former Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wisconsin) crossed the state together last Friday to promote Clinton and Feingold’s rematch against Sen. Ron Johnson

(R-Wisconsin), who won the seat in 2010.

At their campaign stop in Milwaukee on Friday, it was politics as usual with hash slung at Clinton and Feingold’s GOP counterparts, with inspiration woven in on the Democratic candidates’ impact on unionized workers and middle-class families in the region.

“From Wisconsinites from Wausau to Milwaukee, I’ve heard middle-class, working families are really struggling to pay their expenses, their rent or their child care,” Feingold said. “It’s at a time where people at the top are doing great … Why is it that working and middle-class families aren’t getting a fair deal? That has to change – and it’ll change Nov. 8.”

Clinton herself did not attend any rallies in Wisconsin, taking the week off to prepare for Sunday night’s town hall debate.

Republican nominee Donald Trump didn’t make a stop in Wisconsin this week either – but for a

new roles and responsibilities of both Edmonds and Robert Lanza, current associate athletic director, will be decided by whomever fills the interim athletic director post.

Regardless of whatever roles and responsibilities are assigned to her by a new interim athletic director, Edmonds will take a cut in salary. In the 2014-

2015 academic year, Edmonds made $100,000; however, her pay will drop to $63,246 as an associate director.

The Royal Purple made attempts to contact Edmonds, Jeff Arnold, vice chancellor for administrative affairs, and the Human Resources department via phone. Messages were not returned.

different reason.

On Friday, the Washington Post released video footage from a 2005 Access Hollywood video revealing Trump making comments about how he made sexual advances with women, at one point saying that because he was a “star,” he could just “grab them by the pussy.”

Trump’s decade-old comments became the reason for House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) to be “sickened” enough to disinvite the presidential nominee to the 1st District GOP’s Fall Fest event at the Walworth County Fairgrounds.

Attempts from the Royal

Purple to gain media access to the Fall Fest event went either unanswered or denied.

The other half of the Republican ticket, Gov. Mike Pence (R-Indiana) was set to show up in Trump’s place, but backed out before the event, leaving the event to focus on Wisconsin Republicans such as Ryan, Johnson, Gov. Scott Walker and State Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester).

“It is a troubling situation,” Ryan said during the Fall Fest event, alluding to the party’s presidential nominee. “That is not what we are here to talk about today. Do you know what we do here at Fall Fest?

We talk about ideas.”

Clarification In the article “Two sexual assaults reported on campus,” (Royal Purple Oct. 5), it should be clarified that UW-Whitewater Police Services decided to not send notification pertaining the Sept. 18 assault because the situation was immediately resolved and did not pose a threat to campus.

Lockbox: community expresses mixed views

ponent of Knox Box [lockboxes] and to me a life is worth a lot of money.”

Higgins explained that in 1989, a lock box program was put in place that put almost 275 lock boxes around the city, but no ordinance was proposed until 2015. Higgins said the fire department is encouraging an ordinance now because it would help cut down “man-power and time,” allowing the department to remain on a volunteer basis.

The fire chief already has the authority to require a lockbox, and that authority will remain regardless of the decision on the current ordinance.

Gregoire said they will probably still require a lockbox for some

structures if the ordinance is passed, even if they do not fall within the qualifications of the ordinance.

Council President Patrick Singer questioned the need for the ordinance if the fire chief has authority to require lockboxes despite the ordinance.

“Basically you are making us do the ordering and not the fire department,” Singer said.

Higgins said if they enforce the lockboxes, there would be a fine alongside it and additional costs to the fire department, including the need for a staff member to work only with the lockboxes.

Four members of the public spoke in regards to the ordinance including co-owner of GMA Printing,

Blake Scharine, who spoke in opposition to the ordinance.

“There’s bodily and physical danger and financial risk for each person that was forced to comply with this bad decision,” Scharine said.

Scharine said that moving forward with the ordinance would be a violation of citizens’ “constitutional right” to privacy and threatened the livelihood of community members. He brought attention to Councilperson Patrick Wellnitz, claiming Wellnitz’s position as a volunteer firefighter for the Whitewater Volunteer Fire Department creates a bias in favor of the ordinance and recommended he abstain from voting on the or-

dinance in the future.

Wellnitz voted in favor of the ordinance in September but was not present at the Oct. 4 meeting. Wellnitz was on vacation at that time.

Also at the Oct. 4 meeting, City Manager Cameron Clapper presented the proposed 2017 Annual City Budget. The budget is currently balanced at $9,201,438, a 5.89 percent decrease from 2016. Clapper’s presentation also made note that Whitewater stands below av-

The Common Council meeting also included: A presentation from the Whitewater Unified School District on its $23,500,000 facilities referendum, set to be on the ballot Nov. 8. The referendum would provide safety and security upgrades

Prairie Village senior living to expand this fall Nathan Kober Staff Writer

The Prairie Village senior housing community is expanding in Whitewater to accommodate a growing number of senior citizens in search for independent retirement homes.

Dave Johnson, marketing and community relations director at Fairhaven, said demand for different retirement housing styles at Prairie Village has increased.

“People are looking for alternative style housing for senior homes,” said Johnson. “It’s more independent than a nursing home.”

The Village provides housing for seniors who want retirement homes but do not require assisted living.

Although Fairhaven operates independently, they still have a close connection to church organizations.

At the groundbreaking ceremony on Sept. 29, retired Fairhaven Executive Director Rev. David Yochum, spoke about Fairhaven’s mission statement and spiritual connection to the church.

“Its primary mission is to provide housing and health services which promote dignity and well-being with spiritual, intellectual, cultural and recreational vitality,” Yochum said.

At the groundbreaking ceremony, City Manager Cameron Clapper said the city supports the development.

The expansion is expected to more than $10 million of property value to the area.

UW System President Ray Cross called Miller’s announcement a loss for the UW System and a ‘tremendous gain’ for Tennessee.

Cross plans to begin the search for his successor right away.

“As I take on this new challenge, I will be forever grateful for the opportunities, experience, and valuable counsel I received with the UW System,” said Miller.

Miller has been with the UW System for almost 20 years.

Cross called Miller a ‘key member of leadership.’

Forza Horizon 3 is a must-own for fans of either the Forza Motorsport or Need For Speed series.

There are multiple categories of objectives to compete, whether it’s racing or stunt-related. There are dozens of ‘Danger Zones’ scattered across the sprawling map. Each ‘Danger Zone’ has its own challenge for how far players must jump before landing to score awards and “credits.”

“Credits” can be used to purchase and upgrade cars.

There are cars from every major Review by and minor manufacBrad Allen turing companies.

Biz & Tech Players can own a Editor Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Lotus and so much more.

Players can complete objectives to earn credits. These objectives include stunt jumps, circuit races, point-topoint races and “speed traps.” Speed Traps are spots located across the map where your driving speed is measured, and players can earn credits or points towards leveling up.

The level system is in place to show each player’s progress and to measure how often a player can expand their

‘Festival Sites.’ Festival Sites are locations where players must earn points to unlock, and each site has a garage, where you can upgrade and tune cars.

Even just driving around in your favorite cars, and enjoying the view of a simulated Australian countryside is pure joy. The graphics are phenomenal, and it’s very hard to tear yourself away from the screen. Every time you boot up the game and cruise around aimlessly, you discover someplace new.

The upgrading system lets players choose every single car upgrade, ranging from total engine swaps to replacing stock engine parts with racing-spec parts. You can also change exterior features of the car, such as adding spoilers.

The level of difficulty is determined entirely by the player. You can choose which assists you want to use, such as whether to drive in manual or automatic shifting. The less assist you use, the more credits you earn per race.

The online gameplay is amazing because you can complete racing objectives with a friend, furthering both players’ career progress at once.

I rate this new game at five stars. It’s gorgeous, there are many mechanics in place to keep the game challenging, and there’s seemingly endless objectives and places to discover.

Students who are interested in creating video games as a career should make them as often and as best as they can.

This is the advice from senior Katherine Stull, whose team won two awards for their video game, “A Dream Within A Dream,” has for students majoring in Media Arts and Game Design (MAGD).

“A Dream Within A Dream” won the Science and Technology Symposium Award and also the MAGD Expo award.

The ninth annual Wisconsin Science and Technology Symposium was held on Aug. 2 and Aug. 3 at UW-Oshkosh.

Stull said that she and her team members, Andrew Condon and Jeremy Behreandt, who both graduated in May, designed the game as part of their MAGD capstone class. A class requirement is to create some form of digital media, such as a video game.

Stull said her team chose to create a video game because it coincided with what they had done in the program so far.

“It’s important that students who are interested in game development not only love playing games, but also love creating games,” Stull said. “Those are two very different things, and it’s important to explore both of them extensively in the time that you’re in the program.”

“A Dream Within A Dream” is geared toward middle school students with low reading comprehension or those who don’t express interest in language arts. The game makes the text more accessible for students.

“The idea originally was to make a game where you would explore a wide variety of authors and sort of play through their stories interactively,” Stull said. “This game is geared towards middle schoolers, who tend to love scary stories. We thought, ‘what better classic writing than Edgar Allan Poe?’ His stories are really awesome, but the language isn’t really accessible, so that’s what we were seeking to do.”

The game seeks to show rather than tell, Stull said.

“It lets you play through the

experience in a digital media that kids in our generation or younger are familiar with,” Stull said.

The team worked on the game for 14 weeks.

“My teammates were phenomenal,” Stull said. “We met every single deadline we set for ourselves from start to finish. Dividing up the responsibilities between the three of us, we each knew exactly what our responsibilities were, so no one was confused.”

Behreandt said it was a pleasure working on the game.

“Katherine developed the main idea of the game, that Edgar Allan Poe would be trapped in a dream of one of his short stories,” Behreandt said. “She designed the look of the game, from Poe’s cravat to the chandeliers.”

Behreandt added that Condon kept their team on track as they designed the game.

“Andrew acted as project manager, making sure we knew what benchmarks we had to hit each week,” Behreandt said. “He also animated and lit many of Katherine’s still images. The raven’s flight at the beginning of the game is Andrew’s doing.”

Stull said she was introduced to the MAGD program through a student organization that served as a game journalism practicum, Game Zombie.

“I’ve always had a love for video games, and I thought I could do something that encompassed all my interests,” Stull said. “When you’re creating a game, there’s aspects of art, music and story-telling.

There’s aw lot of logical thinking involved. MAGD provided me with an opportunity to put all these things together.”

Stull is working on another game that she will present at the MAGD showcase in May. Stull declined to comment on the details of the game.

Creating video games is a much different process than many would expect, Behreandt said.

“Contrary to pop culture images of a lone hacker, making a game is a very social process,” Behreandt said.

“Written, spoken and gestural communication are key, especially when people with di-

Third presidential debate

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will face off in Las Vegas on Oct. 19, at 8 p.m. central, for the third presidential debate moderated by Chris Wallace of FOXNews.

Pepe the Frog, hate symbol exposed sive. This is why it is so hard as a society to move past many of our nation’s issues.

If Pepe the Frog hurt your feelings or offends you, there are bigger problems you should be worrying about. Instead of thinking about how a cartoon frog affects your life, why not think about how people don’t have electricity in many parts of the world? Or how about the many people who don’t have clean water or food?

This generation wants everyone to be safe and open minded, but not everyone is. Giving attention to this childish cartoon is not contributing positively to an open conversation on hate symbols.

This is added fuel to the fire and giving the right wing extremists a reason to fight back. They will hijack another meme.

Let them use these memes, what is the big deal? Are we so afraid of differing opinions that we will just ban their freedom of expression? It is a two way street that we can not just close and ignore.

Adding Pepe the Frog to the hate symbol list is childish and a waste of time. The meme is not used, largely, by hate groups. It is a meme, let’s treat it like it is.

Royal Purple Editorial Staff Opinion

The current generation of millennials is obsessed over Internet memes. Recently, however, one joined the list of international hate symbols: that meme is Pepe the Frog.

Pepe the Frog was created in 2005 and has since then become a viral Internet meme. Though, the Anti-Defamation League’s, ADL, chief executive, Jonathan A. Greenblatt, said, “Once again, racists and haters have taken a popular Internet meme and twisted it for their own purposes of spreading bigotry and harassing users.”

The Washington Post said, “While the cartoon frog finds himself among the decidedly dark company of the swastika and the Confederate battle flag, he also finds himself alongside seemingly innocuous symbols on the Hate Symbols Database like “100%” and “737.”

This has left many questioning the justifications of declaring anything a hate symbol.

CNBC said, “the ADL noted that the majority of uses of Pepe the Frog “have been, and continue to be, non-bigoted.” It had also taken on a more sinister side among some social media communities.”

The ADL said, “In recent years, with the growth of the ‘alt right’

graphic by Carlie Sue Herrick/ Graphics Editor

segment of the white supremacist movement, a segment that draws some of its support from some of the above-mentioned Internet sites, the number of ‘alt right’ Pepe memes has grown, a tendency exacerbated by the controversial and contentious 2016 presidential election.”

This means that Pepe the Frog was adapted and used as part of a far-right ideology. The “alt right,” according to Wikipedia, “is a segment of right-wing ideologies that reject mainstream conservatism in the United States. It is largely Internet-based and found on websites

Letters to the Editor

Mandatory participation policy op-ed rings true You editorialized well on “mandatory class participation.” It made me (retired teacher) recall and think.

First, “anxiety” about speaking up. (1) Are we over-worrying about sensitive “teacup” students being disturbed? (Like “trigger-warnings,” etc.) (2) More relevantly, if anxious now, why not work on it now, before later and too late and it becomes a real problem in your career?

And you mentioned those “hot topics.” They can be cooled-off using “civil discourse.” Thus, don’t argue, but explore. Listen and respond to the other person.

Seek not victory but validity. Also real-world useful.

True, getting discussion going can be like pulling hen’s teeth, or getting blood out of an onion.

Sluggish speaking might have two main causes. The first is medical, the “TNM” syndrome (or, “Ter-

minal Non-Motivation.”)

For this paralysis, no vaccination or cure. (“ The teacher opens the door, the student walks through.”

Or doesn’t.)

Second is anthropological “culture shock.” Traditional Schooling was like Focus Narrowly.

“Avoid mistakes, get it correct, or get laughed at if you are wrong.”

Whereas Real Life seems opposite: Open Up. Remember, “The harder the task and the higher the criteria, the more one will make mistakes, even fail initially.” Trial-&-error is messy but productive.

Students see that, but to reinforce, I showed the class some dirty laundry of mine. A piece of bad writing—bloated indeed. And then showed how a keen-eyed editor shrank the blubber to be crispand-compact. I had been embarrassed, but then grateful. For, constructive negative criticism is

(for serious workers), golden grist for the mill. (Incidentally, those able to take criticism, seem more able generally.)

Instructors often say, “There is no stupid question” in class.

(True—except maybe “Are we at Oshkosh yet?”) But I also said, “There is “no dumb or irrelevant comment.” Because even a truly off-the-mark response usually brings to light valid stuff to pursue.

Especially productive was “Round Robin.” That’s a go-round where each class member in turn shares their responses on a complex course issue. Varied but valuable responses can emerge via “One subject, plural lenses upon it” and “many minds see more.”

True, it’s semi-enforced participation—but I assigned the topic in advance and so, anxiety lessened.

So, group discussion can enhance learning. (Assuming the

goal is not to just Know the Material, but how to think it through.)

General thinking skills can emerge. Besides Civil Discourse and Lens-Work: “To miss nothing vital, grasp the “Big Picture.”

And “What are the other sides to this?” And “what about Cause&-Effect here?” And “What are the hidden assumptions here?”

And “Does bias appear?” (These might seed the soil of General Education courses.)

For too long in my career, I privileged the traditional lecture. Later I saw discussion’s value, and tried to ease students in via the above tactics. Partly mandatory, partly on the wing. For, participation is too pedagogically powerful to miss.

New complaint rules strip away rights You may not be aware of this, but on October 6, 2016, the Education Committee of the Board of Regents met to deliberate on sweeping changes to Chapter VI of the Faculty Personnel Rules of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater regarding Complaints against Faculty. As I read through these proposed changes, which were approved by the Faculty Senate on August 8, 2016 (am I the only one out of the loop on this?), it was abundantly clear that these changes were inspired by the legion of procedural violations of the old rules by the administration and by the Faculty Senate Committee designated to enforce them. If you missed my previous musings on this subject, see the Royal Purple website.

These new rules are shorter and easier to follow, but they strip away just about every right that had accrued to the accused, and places virtually unfettered discretion in the hands of the Chancellor. I have taken the new rules and annotated them in a commentary that can be found at the Royal Purple website.

First, it is now explicitly stated in the rules that people do not have to file and sign their own complaints, “his or her representative” can do so. So a Dean or anyone else could file a complaint on behalf of anyone who does not want to do it themselves. That violates the right of the accused to

face their accusers and the right of the accused to seek conflict resolution because that process can only take place between the accused and the “complainant”.

Why enter into conflict resolution with someone who is not part of the conflict?

Second, the old rules required the participation of the “Chancellor” and there was no language that allowed for a “designee”.

That has changed.

Third, what if you filed a complaint and it got dismissed by the Chancellor summarily and without investigation? Shouldn’t you be able to appeal? The old rules had no such provision, but the new ones state that “If the Chancellor dismisses the complaint for lack of merit or untimeliness…the complainant shall be notified of any rights to appeal said decision under any applicable university or system policy or procedure.”

You notice there’s no direct citation of which “policy or procedure” you might resort to – there are none that I could find, and I have had occasion to look.

Fourth, what happened to my right to choose my own advocate?

Fifth, now the Hearing Panel can have legal counsel even if you don’t. Supposedly, that’s to insure that the rules are properly followed, but as you can see in my earlier piece, that made no difference whatsoever. The counsel in those cases made no effort

that I could discern to insure the Hearing Panels’ compliance with institutional policy. Would it surprise you to learn that counsel is now our “Chief of Institutional Policy and Compliance”?

Sixth, you are entitled to fair and impartial proceedings, (but the language guaranteeing “comprehensive” proceedings has been stripped) as long as you can refute the Chancellor’s “evidence” and present your own within the newly-instituted “time limits”.

Seventh, if the Chancellor commits multiple procedural errors, you have recourse. The Chancellor will determine if they occurred, and whether they were “substantial” enough to warrant dismissal. Whew…

Eighth, if the Chancellor is hopelessly unprepared to put on their case in the time allotted, it’s okay, because the Chair of the Hearing Panel can now extend the timeline for such proceedings indefinitely and unilaterally. So much for a “timely process” – the new rules add 120 days even without delays.

Ninth, the Chair of the Hearing Panel gets to determine whether you can “request” hearings in open session. Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(b) says otherwise.

Tenth, we now have a requirement that a “simple majority” of the panel must conclude that a “preponderance of the evidence” suggests that the allegations are

true. Just over 50% must be just over 50% sure. Don’t we deserve a little better than that?

There’s more, and I invite you to look over my annotation of the new rules, rules that affect all faculty at UW-W. The correlation between these new rules and the issues I’ve raised in the past regarding those responsible not following the old ones speaks for itself. If only the Faculty Senate was as interested in sharing these as they have been in getting feedback on other sections of the rules dealing with Post-Tenure Review. Those are the rules that matter. Sadly, neither the last administration, this administration, nor the Faculty Senate have taken any interest at all in insuring compliance with these rules.

What makes you think they will in the future? “…when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security…”

All that’s needed is for slightly over 50% of you to believe that slightly over 50% of my assertions are true.

Your head is pounding, you feel shaky, and you may or may not throw up any second here. You went out last night and are experiencing an intense hangover.

According to Mayo Clinic, when you have a hangover, your body is actually experiencing a withdrawal from alcohol. Generally a hangover will not begin until your blood-alcohol level drops close to zero. If you are experiencing a hangover, here are a few easy fixes:

Drink water

Alcohol makes you urinate more frequently, and it makes you sweat more. You’ll feel great if you rehydrate your body.

Eat

Find something light and easy to digest. Greasy, heavy foods don’t help you flush the alcohol out of your system. Drinking alcohol increases your stomach acid and simultaneously slows your stomach from emptying

Comic Corner

Procrastination is a problem that, unfortunately, many of us struggle with. I have had many issues putting off what I need to do as much as I can. Here are a few things that have helped me lessen my procrastination, along with suggestions from my friends.

Organize a group study. Make some friends in your class and propose a hang out time for an hour or two. This can be at the library or somewhere that works for everyone. Suggest that you all pitch in for pizza or something to eat and make it a little more enjoyable.

Use time management to make sure you still have fun. If you have a large project due in a few days, pace yourself and take breaks to avoid burning out. Break up your work with rewards

Get some sleep

Consuming alcohol will help you fall asleep, but it does not induce good sleep that you can wake from well-rested. If you give your body rest will help you feel better too.

What you think is a hangover could take a turn for the worse if you’ve developed alcohol poisoning. Alcohol poisoning is the potentially fatal result of having too much alcohol in your system. Hangovers and alcohol poisoning have similar symptoms and both are a result of drinking too much, so they can be mistaken.

Hangover:

Alcohol Poisoning:

-Fatigue -Thirst -Nausea and vomiting -Shakiness -Rapid heartbeat -Decreased ability to concentrate -Dizziness

-Vomiting -Seizures -Noticeably slow or irregular breathing -Blue or pale skin -Low body temperature -Lacking the ability to awake

If you notice that you or your friend have some of these more serious alcohol poisoning symptoms, please seek medical care immediately. Never think that you or they can ride it out. Your safety is more important than an embarrassing night at the hospital or a medical bill.

Have fun and please drink responsibly.

you can look forward to when you complete a task.

Do one part every day until you finish and work on it a little bit leading up to the deadline.

Look forward to how light your load will be the night before it’s due. Picture how every small thing you do now, is one less thing to do later.

Give your mobile device to a friend. Keeping your phone out of reach will help you focus.

This can be a way for you to lessen distractions and keep on task.

Shia LaBeouf it. Nike it. Whatever you call it, just do it. For many people, that is easier said than done, but if you literally just sit down and bust it out, you can get your work done.

There are many ways to go about getting your

work done. How you do it is up to you.

If you still have problems with procrastination, feel free to contact a student advisor or your academic advisor for advice on what to do.

The University Center is full of resources that are available to everyone. Best of luck.

Pumpkin Spice Lattes around Whitewater

Autumn has arrived and the famous pumpkin spice latte (PSL) has made an appearance in Whitewater.

Three local businesses are serving the seasonal drink: Willie’s 360, McDonald’s and The SweetSpot Café. Each business makes their latte with similar ingredients and in similar ways.

The scent of Willie’s 360’s PSL reminds me of the upcoming holiday season.

McDonald’s PSL incorporated the coffee just enough to wake me up in the morning and keep me going.

The initial scent given off from the SweetSpot’s PSL is pumpkin and cinnamon with a hint of coffee. It was creamy and flavorful. The cinnamon sprinkled on top was a pleasant surprise.

After tasting the different lattes at these three locations, I decided to take a chance and make my own.

Health as a whole: Dreamy do’s & nightly no’s

By Alena Purpero Lifestyle Editor

You know the insufferable, ever-lasting battle you face every night that leaves you in an uneasy regretful state of being. No, I don’t mean your internal debate on whether or not you’re going to go out or not. I’m talking about falling asleep on time, or more so, getting a decent sleep in general.

There are plenty of factors that play into how well you will sleep at night. Anxiety, environment and light are some examples of what affects our sleep according healthysleep.med.harvard.edu. In order to get the most out of your (hopefully) 6-8 hours, you must make adjustments to certain lifestyle behaviors and your environment.

Do: Get your energy from sleep, not excessive eating. When sleep de-

prived, we tend to resort to eat more than we need to in hopes that it will make up for loss of energy.

Don’t: sleep less and eat more. “Sleep deprivation can lead to a decrease in physical activity and an increase in excessive snacking behavior” says the huffingtonpost.com.

● Ever catch yourself snacking out of boredom? The only thing worse than eating out of boredom is eating to keep yourself awake. Similar to boredom eating, we seek out snacks to keep us stimulated and entertained. The danger in this is that as the eating continues throughout a sleep deprived day, your body is working to digest food when it could use that time to sleep and replenish itself.

Do: Choose popcorn, pickles and fruit juices as nighttime snack. These foods are known to be triggers for elaborate dreams according to livestrong.com.

Don’t: eat big meals or hard to digest foods before going to sleep and

avoid caffeine before bedtime. Do not drink any caffeinated beverages within six hours of when you plan on going to sleep. Foods with lots of flavor or spices will lead you to experience poor sleep quality, says livestrong.com. ● Even though it may be hard to resist a nap or going to sleep after a big meal, try your best to keep carrying on with your day. If you go to bed with a full stomach, it will leave uncomfortable feeling and you may be sick in the morning. You get sleepy after a lot of food because your body’s metabolism is trying to keep up with the food you just consumed.

It encounters a response in the parasympathetic nervous system which tells your body to slow down and focus on digesting food according to huffingtonpost.com graphics by Carlie Sue Herrick/ Graphics Editor

graphic by Carlie Sue Herrick/ Graphics Editor

Do: fall asleep reading a book or drift off while lying down with no distractions.

Don’t: fall asleep with the TV on or while scrolling through your phone.

Worldsleepday.org says that light and noise are both influential factors on how long it takes you to fall asleep. Watching television would conflict with both of those environmental needs. ● A lot of us need distraction in order to fall asleep. While some might prefer to use this time to scroll through social media or level up a couple episodes on Netflix, the light and noise will keep you awake for longer.

Instead, try giving yourself an hour of leisurely time before you plan to go to bed.

Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity holds local 5k color run

Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity held a 5k Color Run Oct. 1st at Perkins Stadium where 280 participants and more than 50 volunteers generated more than $4,000

for the local Whitewater Fire Department. The fraternity hopes to do the same run next year to benefit the Whitewater community.

Local fundraiser remembers Trey Kilar Sutton Rettig Staff Writer

With the Fall season in full swing, many members of the community are eager to get outside and enjoy the wonderful Autumn season in Whitewater. While so many of us look forward to apple picking with loved ones or carving Jack-O-Lanterns, this transitional time of year also brings about the city’s annual Run For Trey event held at Starin Park.

For the past six years, Mike and Mary Kilar have organized this 5K run to commemorate the life of their son, Treyton Kilar, a six year old boy who was tragically killed by an intoxicated driver in September 2010. In an effort to celebrate Trey’s life, many Whitewater locals participate in a charity run which benefits two handpicked students.

One student from Walworth and the other from Jefferson County, who display superb character and remarkable ambition, both of which were possessed by Trey.

The proceeds are also put towards properly maintaining Trey’s Field Of Dreams, a baseball diamond located in Starin Park.

“The Kilar’s strength has truly kept Trey’s memory alive,” Molly Fuller, one of the supervisors for the run, mention. “They truly took a tragedy and made it into something inspiring.”

Run For Trey took place on Sunday October 9, with registration beginning at 8 A.M. for all of those who plan on running and walking the 5K. Tickets were sold for $20 for runners over 16 and $15 for those under 16 and under. T-Shirts promoting Run For Trey were sold for $10 each, and all proceeds went to benefiting the community by maintaining Trey’s Field that is used by so many athletes. Mike Kilar was touched by the sense of community that was involved in order to make the run a reality.

“It’s nice to have people get together and remember him. It’s just another way of bringing people together,” Kilar said.

In addition to participating in the annual run, individuals can also donate to Treyton’s Field of Dreams Family Pavilion through the Whitewater Community Foundation or on their website at treysfield.org.

The name of this charity was inspired by Trenton’s strong passion for the game of baseball. People are free to give any amount of money which they’re capable of putting forth and also have the option of making the donation a monthly basis. Each donation opens opportunities for students and lets

the community honor the memory of Treyton Kilar and the joy he brought to so many of those who were close to him. For more information regarding how to donate, visit treys field.org.

“Treyton, we always said, was a dreamer,” Mary Kilar pointed out when addressing the run, “he always wanted to play professional baseball and, in that dream, we believed in him. We want kids to do the same when they come out onto the field.

Just have fun and dream big while having fun with your family.”

Construction of Trey’s Field next to Starin Park was possible through four years of community fundraising.

Former classmates of Treyton Kilar play baseball in honor of the young boy at the Field of Dream’s opening day on Oct. 4, 2014. The Field of Dreams opened on what would have been Kilar’s 11th birthday.

From the womb…to the tomb. Deadly kids are causing mayhem and chaos wherever they go, but who would ever guess it was them? In this week’s iteration of the Warhawk Video Graveyard, we’re going to test you to your limits with some of the most evil children ever spawned.

The kids are alright, but are you going to be?

Who knew staying up past your bedtime could be so hazardous to your health.

1.) Beware! Children at Play (1989, R) When the local children go missing, a small rural town goes into panic. The pandemonium grows once the adults are found dead in bizarre, strange ways. Are the kids being kidnapped, or are they to blame for the murders? The film leads to a climax that will leave any film viewer speechless.

2.) The Children (2008, R) Celebrating New Year’s Eve with your family instead of your friends can be killer. Having your younger siblings turn homicidal can be worse. Casey finds herself having to protect herself from a sickness that is turning every child against their parents. One scene is guaran-

teed to make any viewer cover their eyes the next time they see a little kid with a pack of sharp colored pencils.

3.) It’s Alive (1974, PG) “There’s only one thing wrong with the Davis baby…It’s Alive!” For a film to use that as its tagline, they better make sure it’s one scary baby.

The Davis’s baby is one kid you don’t want to come across in a dark alleyway, or even a well-lit daycare. Immediately after its birth, the baby kills everyone in the delivery room. With fangs and claws the baby is guaranteed to make anyone squirm in their seat.

4.) The Ring (2002, PG-13) What do you get when you cross a videotape and a pissed off spirit?

About two hours of sheer non-stop fright. Based on the 1998 Japanese film Ringu, the film follows a reporter who receives a mysterious phone call alerting her of her inevitable death. Soon she comes face to face with an evil little girl that possesses the videotape in a fight to save not only herself, but everyone she loves. At least she hasn’t possessed Netflix yet!

5.) The Orphanage (2007, R) Set in a dilapidated orphanage, this Spanish film proves that you don’t need blood and violence to make a truly horrifying film. After her child goes missing, Laura goes on a desperate search to find him in the decrepit building. Filled with enough spooky ghost children to fill a ghost orphanage, this is one film no one should avoid.

Record crowd witnesses victory ’Hawks beat Titans 17-14 after last-second winner

By Justin St. Peter Sports Editor

When sophomore running back Drew Patterson received a toss on the Warhawks patented stretch play on third-and-13 with the game on the line, a collective groan emerged from some of the 17,535 fans in attendance.

Seconds later, the groan turned to a cheer for Warhawk fans as Patterson waited for a crease to appear. He exploded through the end zone for a 15 yard game-winning touchdown run with 55 seconds left in No. 2 UW-Whitewater Warhawks 17-14 victory over the No. 5 UW-Oshkosh Titans.

Head coach Kevin Bullis said the team called the run because it was part of the team’s identity and four-down territory.

“On the field, I’m sitting there going, ‘Oh we must have gained about seven yards or something like that,’” Bullis said. “You are not trying to get the first down. What you are trying to do is make the next play ... give you a chance to not make you have to make a 15-yard play… To us it’s really, ‘Let’s go get a chunk off of it.’ We didn’t foresee that we would get that big of a chunk out of it.”

UW-O got the ball back with less than a minute left and converted a fourth down before being left with six seconds left on the clock.

Titans quarterback Brett Kasper attempted to escape the rush. He tried to throw a Hail Mary pass, but senior defensive lineman Brandon Tamsett and sophomore linebacker Bryce Leszczynski combined to take him down on the final play of the game to seal the victory.

At the end of the play, a large majority of the Division III record crowd ignited for one final cheer to cap off the win. Division III records are hard to confirm, but the 17,535 people

on hand broke the previous highest attendance record by 198 people since the St. John vs. St. Thomas clash on Sept. 24, 2015.

Perkins Stadium only holds 13,500 seats. Spectators stood around the fence in both end zones, sat on the hills on both sides of the bleachers and went as far up as the fence would allow on the visiting side, all for a glimpse at this top five showdown.

The game was the third time spectators exceeded the seating capacity at Perkins Stadium. The previous attendance record was in last year’s game vs.

UW-Platteville on Oct. 6, 2015, when 15,287 people were on hand.

Patterson said it was an “awesome atmosphere,” but it almost wasn’t as awesome as most of the Whitewater fans and players thought it was.

The Warhawks were down 7-3 in the third quarter before senior defensive back Vince Mason read a short pass to the right on a third down and broke on the ball. Mason intercepted the ball on his knees at

the Titans’ 16 yard line.

“It’s really important to know the ins and outs of the call and what exactly is going on,” Mason said.

“A little bit is just having that intelligence and savvy, but a lot of it was just that pressure that we brought into the box, making the quarterback feel uncomfortable. The rest was history.”

Two plays later, sophomore quarterback, Cole Wilber, fired a beautiful pass into the outstretched arms of senior tight end Brett Campbell for an 18 yard score. ’Hawks took

the ground, and retook the lead on a one-yard touchdown run from junior running back Dylan Hecker with 7:41 left on the clock.

Fourteen plays, 72 yards and nearly seven minutes of game time later, Patterson scampered in for the game-winner.

Wilber finished the game 14-24 for 124 yards and one touchdown through the air.

Patterson carried the ball 20 times for 90 yards and the game-winning touchdown. Fellow sophomore running back Jarrod Ware had 15 carries for 75 yards.

Although the Titans outgained the ’Hawks 346-279 in the game and 268-104 in the first half, the Warhawks defense forced four crucial turnovers.

“There is the old saying, ‘bend, don’t break,’ and that was the classic example,” Mason said.

“We made plays when we had to.”

Kasper hit sophomore receiver Dom Todarello for a ten-yard touchdown to open the scoring early in the second quarter before Ware fumbled a kick return at the UW-W 27.

The defense was able to force the Titans into incompletions on 3rd and 4th down from inside the ten-yard line for a turnover on downs.

Later in the second quarter, following Wilber’s first fumble, Titans senior running back, Devon Linzenmeyer, ran for 18 yards inside the red zone before sophomore defensive back Famus Hasty forced a fumble that Mason recovered.

On the following UW-O drive, Hasty, who was the Warhawks leading tackler with nine stops, forced Hecker to fumble at the UW-W six-yard line and recovered it.

UW-W drove down the field but ran out of time to score, as the first half expired and took control in the second half.

“This game was a dogfight,” Bullis said. “Laws of average say that we were going to be down in this game. Same with Oshkosh.

You just know this game is going to be a flipping brawl with who can keep their composure and not get caught up by ‘oh we’re down by seven, oh we’re down by 10.’”

Linzenmeyer led all rushers with 10 carries for 86 yards and Hecker added 18 rushes for 73 yards. The Titans’ 189 yards on the ground were cringe-worthy for Bullis.

“In our mind, we don’t like to give up more than 100 yards,” Bullis said.

Reid scores for the history books Reid on pace to break scoring record after claiming goals mark

By Josh Sinclair Assistant Sports Editor

56 is a number. 56 is the number of consecutive games in which New York Yankees’ Joe DiMaggio had a base hit in 1941, still a record. 56 is the number of men who signed the Declaration of Independence. 56 is the car number of Ray Peyton, Jr. in Herbie: Fully Loaded.

56 is also the number of goals it would take to break the record for goals in the history of Warhawk soccer. That’s exactly what senior forward and team captain Brianna Reid did.

Reid started scoring goals for Whitewater back in 2013.

“I remember I didn’t start the first game,” Reid said. “But I still got some time, it was in the second game when I scored my first goal and I thought ‘hey, maybe I can play college soccer.’”

And play she has. Reid has played in 5,194 minutes since she got to campus, including every single game over the past four seasons, starting in 80 out of the 83 the team played.

Reid didn’t get time by accident. She proved herself to a leader on the field from the beginning.

As a freshman, Reid led the team in scoring, goals, game winning goals and was second on the team in assists.

“I didn’t even know if I was going to play at all when I came into college,” Reid said. “I just loved playing and had the opportunity so I ran with it.”

As a sophomore, Reid was a

Senior forward Brianna Reid has already set the Warhawks career goals (56) record this season and is two points shy of the career points mark in school history. Reid’s play is a big reason why the Warhawks are currently No. 6 in the nation.

juggernaut offensively, scoring 31 points on the season.

Reid’s knack for finding the goal is no accident. Being 5’9” and the fastest player on the field helped Reid get the advantage.

“When I first came in as a freshman, and even as a sophomore, I had no moves, I would just rely on my speed,” Reid said.

“But it’s something I’ve worked on more and more, and now I can use my footwork and speed to beat the defense.”

In her more recent seasons, Reid has cemented herself as the best soccer player in Warhawk history.

Reid has not only been breaking individual records, but helping the team break records as well.

Showing potential and racking up stats in her first two seasons have translated into being elect-

ed captain and helping lead the team in the past two seasons.

In 2015, the Warhawks had the best record in school history and the team had the farthest run in the NCAA Tournament the Warhawks have ever had.

“We have had the best run in school history over the past four years,” Reid said. “But I still want to build on it, I think we can win a championship. That is our goal this season, and everyone knows it, we are going for the National Championship.”

Reid has proved herself to be the most prolific soccer player in Whitewater history. The twotime reigning WIAC offensive player of the year is just two points short of setting the program record for points as well.

Reid has never failed to be first team All-WIAC. Lead by Reid last season the Warhawks scored the

most goals in program history as well as the most assists in a season by a single squad.

“I haven’t even comprehended the history,” Reid said. “I am still waking up every day, going to workouts, going to practice, hanging out with the team and so I haven’t had time to think about the perspective.”

The Warhawks have relied on Reid to be the leading scorer and over the past four seasons she has come through, getting better each and every year. Topping out with the best start this season.

The Warhawks are 13-1 this season, with wins over five nationally ranked teams including the third ranked team in the nation at the time, the University of Washington-St.Louis. The Warhawks have climbed up the national polls to No. 6.

Freshman crowned WIAC champ Women’s golf team takes third place in WIAC tournament

By Cameron Schwarz Staff Writer

By Josh Sinclair Assistant Sports Editor

Freshman Ashley Hofmeister had never competed in a WIAC Championship tournament before. That didn’t stop her from shooting a 238 three-day total and winning the tournament.

Despite the strong play of Hofmeister over the course of the weekend in Reedsburg, the team finished in third place overall with a three-day score of 1005.

Hofmeister said she was very proud of her performance but was focused on how the team did.

“It’s honestly more than I could ever ask for,” Hofmeister said. “I just wanted to come in with a lot of confidence, and it’s really nice to have all the work pay off. I really came into this weekend with a lot of focus on contributing to the team score more than myself.”

Hofmeister is the first Warhawk golfer to win the WIAC Championship since 1999 and her teammates are overjoyed by

her accomplishment.

“I am truly so proud of Ashley to come in as a freshman and dominate like she has this season,” sophomore Maddie McCue said. “She is an amazing golfer and person and she deserved to win. I am very excited to see what future seasons will bring.”

Hofmeister said she was focused on how she was playing and not on the leaderboard.

“Coming down the stretch, I honestly didn’t know where I was individually in the standings,” Hofmeister said. “I just tried to finish strong.”

As a team, the ’Hawks’ three day score was 25 shots more than the winning UWStout Blue Devils, who posted a score of 980. The Blue Devils secured the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament in May by five shots over runner-up UW-Oshkosh’s total of 985.

It was a promising first day of golf for the Hawks’ as they ended the first round of play with a leading team score of 335, just edging out UW-Oshkosh (337) and UW-Stout (340).

“We know we didn’t play our best, so we were pleasantly surprised to be in first after that first day,” head coach Andrea Wieland said. “We were happy that we were in that position.”

The ’Hawks’ scored a lower second round at 329 but managed to drop two spots in the standings as UW-Oshkosh and UW-Stout leap-frogged them.

The weather conditions may have played a role in the significant lower scores for all teams.

“The weather got better every day and the girls got used to the golf course as they see it another time,” Wieland said.

“We played better, but we didn’t play good enough to maintain that lead.”

The ’Hawks’ said they couldn’t afford to quit because they had some catching up to do, trailing UW-Oshkosh who was in the lead by nine strokes.

“Even though there were some bad holes and some disappointing shots, no one gave up,” sophomore Maddie McCue said. “Everyone kept fighting and trying to score well for themselves and

the team.”

In order to give themselves a chance to win, Wieland said she knew the team had to become more aggressive with their shots.

“When you’re down seven strokes, you can definitely make that up in one round, but it requires the other team to play poorly and shoot to our potential, which requires us to be a little more aggressive on the golf course,” Wieland said. “We needed to be very confident that we could get birdies and not settle for pars and bogeys.”

The ’Hawks’ were not able to make up the lost ground and earned themselves a third place finish.

Senior Kayla Asleson recorded a total score of 250 for a ninth place finish, while McCue’s score of 259 put her in a tie for 15th place.

Senior Stephanie Stair was one stroke behind McCue with a score of 260 which gave her an 18th place finish. Following the match, she was a co-winner of the 2016 WIAC Judy Kruckman Women’s Golf Scholar-Athlete Award.

The WIAC Championships concludes the women’s fall season, but the UW-W golf team will continue tournament play in the spring.

Winning streak climbs to 12 in overtime win Women’s soccer team wins two WIAC matchups

By Tyler Job Staff Writer

The No. 6 UW-Whitewater women’s soccer team, riding a 10-game winning streak coming into play Oct. 5 against UW-Oshkosh, ultimately extended that streak with a tough 3-2 victory in Whitewater.

It was a close game throughout, but the Warhawks began the first half like rapid fire on offense. It was the UW-Oshkosh offense that opened the scoring in the 18th minute, when forward Alyssa Arnold hit a shot just outside the goalie box and out of Warhawk freshman goalkeeper Sara Klimisch’s hands.

The ’Hawks would not back down, and in the 24th minute, UW-W was able to even the score 1-1 when junior midfielder Marie Lesperance scored off a free kick by senior defender Carina Krausert.

“Carina’s long ball has really become a big asset to our

team and it was cool to find the ball and score,” Lesperance said.

The Warhawks kept placing the pressure on the Titan defense for the remainder of the first half, but were unable to register any additional goals, as the score was knotted at one apiece heading into the second half.

Similar to the first half, the ’Hawks began the second half placing constant pressure on the Titan defense, and because of that pressure, UW-W’s senior forward Carly Pottle scored off a header to put the home team up 2-1 in the 48th minute. Sophomore forward Kaci Schonert was given the assist.

One minute later, the Titans answered right back, when midfielder Robyn Elliott scored an unassisted goal that went directly past Klimisch’s foot. Elliott almost scored again in the 55th minute, but Klimisch made the stop.

For the rest of the half, it was a game of traditional back-and-forth play, and while both sides had chances, neither could score as the second half ended with the score tied at two.

As the Warhawks headed into their first overtime game of the season, the unfamiliar UW-W squad put the pressure on from the get-go.

Just a little over a minute in, senior forward Brianna Reid added to her career record by heading the ball into the back of the net to give the ‘Hawks the victory, 3-2.

“I think we all came out with a lot of intensity starting the first overtime, and that intensity got us to kick a lot of balls and —Marie keep forcLesperance ing them to the goal,” Lesperance said.

“Then eventually we found one.”

With that win, UW-W improved to 12-1 on the season and continued their streak of 11 consecutive victories. The Warhawks finished the night with 12 shots on goal and five saves, while the Titans ended the night with seven shots on goal and nine saves.

The Warhawks extended their winning streak to a stellar 12 games with a 2-1 win over the UW-Eau Claire Blu-

golds Oct. 8 in Eau Claire.

The contest did not begin well for the ‘Hawks. In what seemed foreign territory for them, the Blugolds got on the board first when forward Samantha Matuszak scored her first goal of the season to put UW-EC up 1-0.

While the Warhawks were not able to produce any goals for the first half, they were able to keep themselves within striking distance.

Midway through the second half, UW-W knotted the score at one apiece when senior defender Carina Krausert boomed a penalty kick into the back of the net.

A little over 10 minutes later, sophomore forward Emily Mouille knocked a loose ball from senior forward Brianna Reid’s crossbar shot past the Blugolds’ goalkeeper Samantha Lefaive to give the Warhawks the go-ahead goal, and a lead that would stand for good.

Head coach Ryan Quamme praised Emily Mouille’s consistent play.

“Emily is just playing great,” Quamme said. “She has been hitting the post a lot so I was happy to see her get one. She keeps getting

better and better as the year goes on. She is a very talented player, and she is getting more and more comfortable.”

With a team that has not given up more than two goals in a game all season, Quamme was impressed with the way the UW-W defense has been playing so far.

“We have a lot of experience there, and last year we were young on defense but everybody is back,” Quamme said. “They know each other very well and we always seem to be a little better, playing smart, and not making many mistakes.”

The Warhawks will carry their impressive 13-1 record and 12 game winning streak against Aurora College (Illinois) Oct. 12, which will be their last non-conference game of the year.

“We are just looking to improve and we want to be more consistent on offense,” Quamme said. “We have created a lot of chances the last two or three games.

With the last non-conference game coming up, we want to end the last non-conference game of the season on a high note.”

Soccer squad struggles at the net ’Hawks outshoot most opponents but go 1-1-1 during week of games

By Kyle Weaver Senior Staff Writer

The UW-Whitewater men’s soccer team played three close games throughout the week with mixed results.

The ’Hawks (7-4-3) started the week on a high note with a 2-1 victory over Simpson College (Iowa) on Oct. 3.

Senior defender Justin Stanko opened the scoring for UW-W in the seventh minute on a header assisted from senior midfielder Michael Salm.

Simpson scored in the 35th minute to even the score at the half.

After both teams exchanged shots on goal and saves for the first 25 minutes of the second half, UW-W was able to break the deadlock in the 71st minute when senior forward Dylan Hottsmith knocked the ball in off a long cross from freshman Hozai Ceballos.

Junior goalkeeper Chris Lucatorto recorded a season high with 12 saves and started the counterattack, which led to the ’Hawks goahead goal.

“Simpson is a very tough team to beat at home,” head coach Tony Guinn said. “It was a long road trip going six hours each way, but we showed a lot of resiliency and held on against a very good opponent.”

Simpson outshot UW-W 20-13 and outpaced them in shots on goal 13-10. But, the ’Hawks were able to capitalize even with less chances on goal.

Sophomore midfielder Alex Whiteman talked about the team’s mentality on the long road trip.

“The win definitely made the bus ride back better,” Whiteman said.

“Everyone was more talkative, and it felt really good to beat a good opponent like Simpson.”

On Oct. 8, UW-W returned home against St. Olaf College (Minnesota) and escaped with a 2-2 draw in double overtime.

After a scoreless first half, St. Olaf broke through in the 47th minute with a header off a free kick into the box.

The ’Hawks were able to retaliate in the 62nd minute when sophomore midfielder Taylor Ortiz knocked in his third goal of the season on a pass from Hottsmith.

The tie did not last long. St. Olaf took a 2-1 lead two minutes later on a header crossed into the box.

UW-W pressured St. Olaf defense

for the remainder of the game and senior midfielder Jordan Kayser sent a cross into Whiteman who was able to head the ball into the net.

“We have a motto that we don’t lose at home,” Whiteman said. “So being able to help the team keep that felt amazing.”

Lucatorto made two key saves in the first period of overtime to keep UW-W in the game.

The ’Hawks got one shot off in the second overtime but missed.

This allowed UW-W to hold on for a 2-2 draw.

“They (St. Olaf) needed to hold on for two minutes and for us to score a goal in that time was phenomenal,” Guinn said.

“I think getting out of the game with a draw is a great result.”

—Tony Guinn Guinn was happy to see the team finish with a draw and cautioned his players not to lose focus after Whiteman’s equalizing goal.

“When you play overtime and you score late in the game you can expose yourself,” Guinn said “Working so hard to come back and losing in overtime is a terrible feeling so I’m pleased with the draw.”

On Sunday, UW-W was shut out for the first time this season with a 1-0 defeat against St. Norbert College in De Pere.

UW-W controlled the play throughout the game but were unable to put the ball in the back of the net.

UW-W outshot the Green Knights 19-12 and had a 5-3 advantage on corner kicks. The Green Knights made 17 saves to blank the Warhawks offense.

St. Norbert scored the game’s only goal in the 60th minute on a header off a free kick.

Lucatorto made six saves, and Kayser led the offense with five shots.

Guinn says he was pleased with the team’s shots on goal but said there needed to be improvement on finishing.

“When you almost double your opponent in shots at least I know that we’re in a position to have success,” Guinn said. “Sometimes I wish I could go out there and shoot the ball because that’s what we’ve been lacking is the ability to finish.”

UW-W will play their second consecutive road game against Monmouth College (Illinois) at 4 p.m. on Oct. 12.
