After  Gov.  Scott  Walker  proposed  his  2015-­17  biennial  budget  on  Feb.  3,  many  questions  arose  as  to  what  would  happen  with  the  University  of  Wisconsin  System.

If  the  budget  would  pass  as  proposed,  $300  million  would  be  cut  from  the  UW  System  over  the  course  of  two  years.  The  $300  million  would  leave  an  approximate  13  percent  cut  to  the  system  and  18.6  percent  to  UW-­Whitewater,  according  to  a  report  re-­ Telfer leased  by  the  Legislative  Fiscal  Bureau.  Although  UW-­W  will  face  a  bigger  re-­ duction  by  percent,  the  amount  lost  will  be  smaller  than  some  schools  such  as  UW-­Mad-­ ison  or  UW-­Milwaukee  which  rely  heavier  on  funding  from  the  state.  UW-­W  may  need  to  cut  approximately  $7  to  $8.5  million  in  the  ¿ UVW \HDU Chancellor  Richard  Telfer  held  an  open  forum  to  discuss  the  possibilities  of  where Â

Award winning author, professor speaks on Civil Rights movement

By Brad Allen Assistant News Editor

A professor in the Depart-­ ment of History at UW-­Madison spoke at UW-­Whitewater on Feb. 3 about his most recent book on the Civil Rights Movement, titled “Jobs, Freedom, and the Forgot-­ ten History of Civil Rights.”

“In order to fully understand the Civil Rights Movement, we PXVW ¿ UVW NQRZ DERXW SURFHVV leading up to it,” speaker William P. Jones said.

The event was organized by Mai Yer Yang, Black Student Union, WCC and BSU member Antwanette Bounds.

The lecture series event took place on Feb. 3, from 3:30-­4:30 p.m. in the UC in room 275A. The event was opened with greeting from Jasmine Adams, president of the Black Student Union and facilitator of the event.

Chancellor Richard Telfer welcomed attendees to the event.

“Events like this not only aim to inspire students, but also to achieve the strategic goals of this university,” Telfer said.

BSU member Antwanette Bounds introduced the speaker.

Jones is a professor of history at UW-­Madison and an expert on race and labor in the 20th Cen-­ tury United States.

Jones is an author of two award-­winning books, including his most recent book, which was discussed in the event.

Jones’ writing has appeared in the New York Times and the Washington Post.

“We have a black president serving his second term, which would have been unimaginable in the 1960s,” Jones said.

Jones believes this was only made possible through the 20 \HDU ¿ JKW IRU UHIRUP LQ WKH &LYLO Rights Movement.

The famous march on Wash-­ ington in 1961 was the second march in the greater March on Washington Movement.

7KH ¿ UVW PDUFK RQ :DVKLQJ ton was in 1941. One-­hundred thousand people, led by A. Phil-­ lip Randolph and Bayard Dustin, prepared to protest at the capitol.

The main purpose was to pressure the armed forces in de-­ segregation in the military.

Before the protestors actually reached Washington, President Roosevelt agreed to speak with Randolph, and the planned march was halted.

A law was then passed which required the Fair Employment Practices Commission to prevent all federal agencies from dis-­ crimination against blacks.

“It’s ironic that most of us have forgotten his [Randolph’s] name or have no idea who he was,” Jones said.

The protesting strategy of non-­violence was formed in the 1940s marches and also during the Indian Revolution.

“Understanding that history helps us understand what is wide-­ ly considered one of the most im-­ portant moments in our history,” Jones said.

Dr. King learned his strate-­ gies of non-­violent protest from Randolph, who spoke at Boston University when King was a stu-­ dent there.

Dr. King had been a victim to violence several times, including an instance in which his home was bombed in Atlanta in 1956.

“He [MLK] was optimistic and very forgiving,” said Jones.

In the second march on Wash-­ ington, 500,000 people marched on the Capitol in 1963. Randolph led this march, in which Dr. King delivered his ‘I have a Dream’ speech.

“His is the speech we remem-­ ber, but the others had a tougher message,” Jones said.

The second march was mainly about jobs and to add to Kenne-­ dy’s bill in order to call for fur-­ ther efforts to protect blacks from discrimination.

“They wanted to increase power of federal government to intervene in local governments where civil rights were being vio-­ lated,” said Jones.

The most expansive measure of the Civil Rights Movement is that it prohibits discrimination against women.

Poverty rates for blacks are declining faster than any other ethnicity, however the poverty rates among blacks are still the highest, according to Jones.

“The pace of change has stalled,” Jones said.

More blacks go to white schools today than in the 1960s, however, the number of blacks in white schools today is less than in the 1980s, according to Jones.

“This is not a story of fail-­ ure, this is a story of success, but slowed success,” Jones said.

After Jones’ speech, there was a brief question and answer ses-­ sion.

“What are your thoughts on respectability politics?” asked a student.

“The way social change was going to come was by pursuing education and showing that we deserve change and equality,” Jones said.

“Often we forget that the Civil Rights Movement was the challenging of respectability pol-­ itics,” Jones said.

James A. Levy, an assistant professor in the Department of History, made some closing re-­ marks.

“I think one of the things that came up a few times was what is easy to remember,” Levy said.

“The original intent was to link jobs, freedom and equality.”

This graphic consists of photos taken at the Milwaukee Mini-Maker Faire last year. The fair attracted people of different ages and interests to participate in fun activities. The FreezeFest Mini-Maker Faire, organized by Whitewater Makerspace in collaboration with UW-Whitewater Ceramics department and the Innovation Center, will take place in Whitewater on Feb. 14 at Caraveth Lakefront Community Center.

By Rumasa Noor Biz  &  Tech  Editor

Since  its  inception,  Whitewater  Makerspace  has  been  providing  a  place  for  people  to  socialize  and  work  on  com-­ mon  interests.  Continuing  with  its  creative  success,  Makerspace  will  hold  FreezeFest  Mini-­Maker  Faire  at  the  Caraveth  Lake-­ front  Community  Center  at  10:30  a.m.  on  Feb.  14,  right  before  the  Polar  Plunge.

The  event  is  a  result  of  collaboration  between  White-­ water  Makerspace,  UW-­Whitewater  Ceramics  department  and  the  Innovation  Center.  The  event  will  feature  a  Nerdy  Derby  competition,  works  of  ceramics  from  UW-­White-­ waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Ceramics  department  and  motorized  LEGOS  from  meeperBot. Nerdy  Derby  is  car  building  and  racing  competition  that  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  require  rules,  according  to  nerdyderby.com. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  competition  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  little  different  than  what  you  would  normally  think  of  when  you  think  of  derby  cars.  1HUG\ GHUE\ LV YHU\ GLIIHUHQW ´ 'DYLG %XJJV SUHVLGHQW RI Makerspace,  said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First  of  all,  individual  tracks  are  separated  by  space  so  the  cars  can  be  much  larger,  and  the  track  has  undulations Â

Faculty  member  retires  after  25  years  of  service

By Rumasa Noor Biz  &  Tech  Editor

From  staying  overtime  to  help  students  meet  advising  requirements  to  serving  as  a  mentor  to  faculty,  Freda  Briscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  career  has  touched  many  lives  in  her  25  years.  Briscoe  decided  to  announce  her  retire-­ ment,  effective  April.

Han  Ngo  has  assumed  the  position  of  Interim  Director  of  Multicultural  Business  Programs.    Career  beginnings Briscoe  started  her  career  at  UW-­W  in  1989  as  the  counselor  of  the  Education-­ al  Opportunity  program  (EOP).  She  left  UW-­W  for  a  brief  period  of  time  to  take  on  a  position  at  the  College  of  Lake  County  in  1992.

Ngo  also  said  Briscoe  served  as  a  guru  for  her.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;She  is  kind  of  like  more  of  my  men-­ tor  but  is  also  like  a  spiritual  model  on  the  VLGH ´ 1JR VDLG She  taught  her  many  things  about  advis-­ ing.

Advising  is  a  lot  more  than  telling  stu-­ dents  which  classes  they  should  take,  Ngo  said.  It  is  about  getting  to  know  the  students  and  their  back-­ grounds  in  order  to  help  them  effectively.  If  a  stu-­ dent  is  looking  for  a  job  to  help  pay  for  tuition,  the  Briscoe advisor  could  aid  them  in  ¿ QGLQJ D ZRUN VWXG\ RQ FDPSXV VDLG 1JR Throughout  her  career,  Briscoe  had  been  passionate  about  assisting  students,  which  is  why  she  treasured  the  roles  that  required  her  to  work  closely  with  them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  have  enjoyed  both  the  counseling  po-­

By Rumasa Noor Biz  &  Tech  Editor

Multicultural  Career  Fair  at  UW-­Whitewater  attracted  dozens  of  companies  and  recruiters  from  different  indus-­ tries.  Hundreds  of  students  from  a  variety  of  majors  attend-­ ed  the  fair  in  hopes  to  acquire  jobs  and  internships  in  their  ¿ HOGV RI VWXG\ Approaching  employers Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  always  somewhat  nerve-­racking  to  approach  the  employers  at  the  career  fairs.  People  get  confused  as  to  what  they  should  say  when  they  apprach  an  employer.

Employers  offered  several  tips  on  how  to  approach  them  at  these  events.  Sarah  Michel-­Newell  of  The  Horton  Group  said  it  is  important  for  students  to  approach  the  employers  directly  and  introduce  themselves  rather  than  standing  around  and  waiting  to  be  approached. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be  on  time,  be  yourself.â&#x20AC;?  Newell  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Talk  about  your  accomplishments,  not  necessarily  your  day  to  day  [ones].  Be  very  clear  in  the  path  you  want  to  take,  so  that  both  you  and  the  employer  would  know  that  the  opportu-­ QLW\ LV D JRRG Âż W IRU \RX ´ Amanda  Ernst,  recruiter  from  TEKsystems,  said  stu-­ dents  should  be  prepared  when  they  come  in  and  approach  the  recruiters  at  the  fair.

A

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  the  right  way  is  just  to  share  what  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  in-­ terested  in  as  a  student  what  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  looking  for  out  of  an  internship  or  a  role  and  then  allowing  them  to  share  a  little  bit  more  about  what  they  might  have  to  offer,â&#x20AC;?  Laura  Nemetz  from  UW  Credit  Union  said.

6KH DOVR VDLG LI VWXGHQWV DUH LQWHUHVWHG LQ D VSHFLÂż F organization,  they  should  let  its  recruiters  know  why  they  are  interested  in  them.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Employers  want  to  know  why  people  want  to  work  for  them,  and  so  I  think  being  able  to  communicate  even  if  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  something  small  about  why  you  want  to  work  for  that  org,  could  be  a  great  way  to  set  yourself  apart,â&#x20AC;?  Nemetz  said.

Why  attend  the  career  fair?

One  of  the  biggest  advantages  of  career  fairs  is  they   introduce  a  variety  of  different  companies  to  students  that  they  may  otherwise  not  have  exposure  to.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  important  to  attend  a  career  fair  because  it  gives  them  [students]  exposure  to  what  other  companies  are  out  there  in  the  area,â&#x20AC;?  said  Corporate  Recruiter  of  Generac,  Rachel  Mancl.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;When  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  in  school,  you  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  quite  know  whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  out  there  in  the  community.  When  you  come  in  here  it  gives  you  exposure  to  several  different  compa-­ QLHV DQG NLQG RI Âż QGLQJ RXW ZKDW HDFK FRPSDQ\ KDV WR offer.â&#x20AC;?  Â

Appropriate  attire  Ernst  stressed  the  need  to  dress  appropriately  at  the  career  fairs.  She  said  some  students  attend  the  fair  wear-­ ing  jeans,  which  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  an  appropriate  apparel  for  such  a  professional  platform.  Research Most  recruiters  emphasized  on  the  need  to  research  the  companies  prior  to  attending  the  fair.  They  said  re-­ searching  a  company  helps  students  explore  what  they  are  looking  for.

Internships  The  value  of  internships  is  undeniable  for  most  peo-­ ple.  Recruiters  seek  candidates  with  experience,  and  in-­ ternships  are  a  great  way  to  gain  experience.  Mancl  said  students  should  make  the  most  of  the  internship  opportu-­ nities. Âł, ZRXOG GHÂż QLWHO\ UHFRPPHQG WKDW WKH\ XWLOL]H LQ ternships  as  best  as  they  can,â&#x20AC;?  Mancl  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  when  you  are  going  to  school  for  a  general  major  and  not  quite  VXUH ZKHUH WKH\ PLJKW Âż W , WKLQN LQWHUQVKLS LV UHDOO\ JUHDW to  give  people  exposure  to  what  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  like  actually  working  LQ WKH UHDO ZRUOG ZLWK WKDW PDMRU EHFDXVH \RX PLJKW Âż QG out  that  you  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  to  go  into  it  anymore.â&#x20AC;?

An  example  of  this  would  be  the  romantic  partner  wants  to  go  to  a  fancy  restaurant  for  Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Day  where  they  are  showered  with  heart-­shaped  foods  and  romantic  music,  and  the  less  romantic  partner  just  wants  to  sit  at  home  and  enjoy  some  take-­out  together.  This  is  ZKHUH FRPSURPLVH FRPHV LQ <RX KDYH WR WDNH WKH WZR extremes  and  make  them  into  something  both  of  you  can  handle.  Try  suggesting  cooking  your  partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  favorite  dish  together  at  home  and  set  the  table  with  nice  dishes  and  candle  light.  Another  way  to  show  affection,  but  not  go  overboard,  is  by  being  simple.  Rent  his  or  her  favorite  movie  for  date  night  and  bring  their  favorite  snack  to  go  along.  If  they Â

are  having  a  bad  day,  drop  by  unexpectedly  to  try  to  make  them  smile.  When  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  out  together  shopping  or  for  a  casual  lunch,  pay  for  it.  Also,  try  to  include  them  in  one  of  your  hobbies  every  once  in  a  while.  This  will  give  your  partner  some  satisfaction  and  let  you  be  the  non-­romantic  person  that  you  are.  It  is  important  to  know  that  you  need  to  feel  as  com-­ fortable  in  the  relationship  as  your  partner  does.  The  rea-­ son  why  you  are  together  is  because  of  your  personality.  There  is  no  need  to  change  yourself  drastically  because  your  partner  should  like  you  for  who  you  are.  There  are  going  to  be  times  where  you  might  need  to  put  your  part-­ ner  before  yourself  in  order  to  make  them  feel  wanted,  but  DV ORQJ DV \RX FDQ Âż JXUH RXW VRPHWKLQJ WR PDNH ERWK RI you  happy,  the  relationship  will  last.

Women break three records

Women  beat  UW-­La  Crosse,  men  fall  short Swimming/Diving

By Joe Walsh Staff  Writer

The  UW-­Whitewater  wom-­ enâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  swimming  and  diving  team  defeated  UW-­La  Crosse  in  its  last  meet  of  the  season  145.50-­97.50  Feb.  7  in  the  Williams  Center  Pool.

The  meet  ended  with  a  bang  for  the  Warhawks  by  breaking  three  school  records.  Sierra  Becker  broke  the  diving  record  off  the  three-­meter  board,  posting  a  number  of  268.95.  Kayla  Martinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  time  of  10:25.43  in  the  1,000-­yard  free-­ style  is  the  new  school  record.

Michaela  Matthyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  time  of  24.72  was  the  fastest  in  the  50-­ yard  freestyle  in  the  meet  and  in  program  history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This  season  has  gone  very  well,â&#x20AC;?  head  coach  Joel  Rollings  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  women  are  progress-­ ing  a  lot  faster  than  I  thought  they  would.â&#x20AC;?

With  those  three  women  breaking  records  and  winning  their  event,  three  more  Warhawk  swimmers  also  won.  Sophomore  Margaret  Lotzer  time  of  1:59.36  was  the  fast-­ est  in  the  200-­yard  freestyle.  Sophomore  Sarah  Arteaga  time  RI SXW KHU LQ ¿ UVW SODFH in  the  200-­yard  individual  med-­ ley  and  freshman  Stephanie  Hae-­ big  touched  the  wall  at  a  time  of  1:03.50  in  the  100-­yard  back-­ stroke.

With  the  conference  champi-­ onship  coming  up  and  nationals  following  that,  Rollings  said  the  womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  team  has  a  good  chance  of  breaking  more  records. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  have  a  lot  of  women  that  are  division  one  caliber,  that  are  going  to  do  some  pretty  great  things,â&#x20AC;?  Rollings  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  set  a  lot  of  records.â&#x20AC;?

Rollings  knows  the  seniors Â

Joe  Devroy  wins  two  events  in  menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  loss The  UW-­Whitewater  menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  swimming  and  diving  team  lost  its  last  meet  of  the  season  to  UW-­ La  Crosse  132-­111  Feb.  7  in  the   Williams  Center  Pool. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This  year  has  been  kind  of  a  rebuilding  year  for  the  menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  team,â&#x20AC;?  Rollings  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  sea-­ son  has  gone  very  well,  we  have  great  senior  leadership  and  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  doing  a  really  nice  job  of  setting  the  culture  and  tone  for  the  program.â&#x20AC;?

Senior  Joe  Devroy  posted  two  wins  for  the  Warhawks  in  the  200-­yard  individual  medley  and  100-­yard  backstroke.  Sophomore  Josh  Kanutes  also  won  two  individual  events  in  the  200-­yard  freestyle  and  the  500-­ yard  freestyle.   Sophomore  Sam  Bowman Â

The  Warhawks  gymnasts  swept  at  least  the  top  four  spots  in  each  event.  In  the  vault,  the  â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hawks  had  the  four  highest  vault  totals  in  the  meet.  Leading  the  event  was  freshman  Lewa  Evans  who  scored  a  9.55,  followed  by  sophomore  Katie  Fiorilli  who  posted  a  score  of  9.525.  Sophomore  Courtney  Pick-­ ett  came  in  third  with  a  score  of  9.5,  and  junior  Hannah  Lee  rounded  out  the  top  four  with  a  9.45.

Pickett  won  the  event  with  a  9.7,  and  senior  Cici  Talc-­ ott  came  in  second  posting  a  9.575.

Coach in a league of his own

Vodenlich  elected  into  WBCA  Hall  of  Fame Feature

By Emily Leclair Assistant  Sports  Editor

Baseball  is  a  game  of  numbers,  and  with  eight  WIAC  titles,  two  NCAA  Division  III  National  Cham-­ pionship  titles  and  a  lifetime  record  of  402-­128-­1  at  UW-­Whitewater,  head  baseball  coach  John  Vodenlich  has  the  numbers.

Vodenlich,  45,  will  be  the  youngest  member  to  be  inducted  into  the  Wisconsin  Baseball  Coach-­ es  Association  (WBCA)  Hall  of  Fame  on  Feb.  14,  but  his  accom-­ plishments  go  further  than  the  out-­ ÂżHOG IHQFH Âł+H PDNHV WKLQJV GLIÂżFXOW IRU us  out  there,  just  so  that  we  have  that  sense  of  urgency,  the  sense  that  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  going  after  what  we  want,â&#x20AC;?  senior  Mikole  Pierce  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;He  gets  the  most  out  of  us  and  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  hard  for  a  coach  to  do.â&#x20AC;?

A  former  player  at  UW-­W,  Vodenlich  went  on  to  play  profes-­ sionally  in  Slovenia  and  helped  win  the  Slovenian  National  Champion-­ ship  in  1994.  He  also  conducted  baseball  clinics  in  Germany,  Eng-­ land,  Austria,  Slovenia,  Croatia  and  Hungary.

After  his  professional  career,  he  headed  into  the  business  world,  but  found  that  something  was  missing.

Warhawks head baseball coach John Vodenlich will be the youngest to be inducted into the WBCA Hall of Fame on Feb. 14

Âł,W ZDV ÂżQH DQG , OLNHG LW EXW , really  missed  that  contact  that  I  had  ZLWK DWKOHWHV DQG VSHFLÂżFDOO\ LQ WKH game  of  baseball,â&#x20AC;?  Vodenlich  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  had  this  void  and  I  looked  at  how  , PLJKW EH DEOH WR ÂżOO LW ´ After  coaching  at  Edgewood  College  for  two  years,  Vodenlich  decided  to  come  back  to  UW-­W. Vodenlich  reached  out  to  former  head  coach  John  Miller,  looking  for  an  assistant  position.

He  remained  the  assistant  for  three  years,  before  taking  over  as  head  coach  in  2004.  Since  then,  Vodenlich  found  success  on  and  off  WKH ¿HOG

â&#x20AC;&#x153;A  lot  of  people  think  that  coaching  is  just  about  showing  up  for  the  game  and  coaching  the  game  and  going  home,  but  all  head  coach-­ es  at  our  level  spend  a  lot  of  time  on  QRQ ÂżHOG QRQ VSRUW UHODWHG WKLQJV ´ Vodenlich  said.

His  lifetime  record  and  his  :,$& UHFRUG RI UHĂ&#x20AC;HFW the  success  he  has  accomplished  ZKLOH RQ WKH ÂżHOG He  has  coached  the  team  to  10  NCAA  National  Championship  ap-­ SHDUDQFHV ÂżYH DSSHDUDQFHV LQ WKH NCAA  Division  III  College  World  Series  and  has  been  the  WBCA  Coach  of  the  Year  three  times.

The  list  of  credentials  could  go  on-­and-­on  for  Vodenlich,  but  KH ZLOO EH WKH ÂżUVW WR WHOO \RX ZKDW KDSSHQV RQ WKH ÂżHOG LV QRW WKH PRVW important  part  of  the  game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  blessed  to  be  in  a  situation  where  I  work  with  a  lot  of  qual-­ ity  young  men,  and  when  you  get  to  know  these  guys,  they  become  kind  of  like  your  sons  and  you  want  whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  best  for  them,  you  want  them  to  be  successful,  you  want  them  to  be  happy,â&#x20AC;?  Vodenlich  said.

Since  joining  the  UW-­W  pro-­ gram  as  a  player  in  1989  and  as  a  coach  in  1994,  27  players  have  signed  with  professional  teams.

Vodenlich  credits  the  coaches  he  had  throughout  his  development  of  his  baseball  career  for  his  suc-­ cess.

Jack  Harrison,  his  youth  coach  who  coached  him  in  football  and  baseball,  Tom  Brandon,  his  high  school  coach  and  Miller,  his  coach  at  UW-­W  have  all  shaped  him  as  a  player  and  as  a  person. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  truly  believe  that  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  all  EDVLFDOO\ LQĂ&#x20AC;XHQFHG DQG FUHDWHG E\ those  individuals  that  were  part  of  our  life,â&#x20AC;?  Vodenlich  said.

Vodenlich  has  reached  out  to  his  players  in  the  same  way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He  has  a  lot  of  knowledge  that  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  been  able  to  pass  onto  us,â&#x20AC;?  Pierce  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  learned  so  much  from  him  just  in  the  aspect  of  hit-­ ting.â&#x20AC;?

The  2014-­15  season  will  hold  more  success  for  Vodenlich,  who  is  15  wins  away  from  passing  Miller  for  the  most  career  victories  as  head  coach  in  program  history.

The  numbers  speak  for  them-­ selves,  but  Vodenlich  insists  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  more  than  a  numbers  game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  look  at  the  whole  picture  and  I  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  stress  enough,  that  for  me,  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  about  the  wins  and  losses,  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  just  about  all  the  great  people  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  met  along  the  way.â&#x20AC;?
