A group of energetic and out-going students have banded together this fall to bring Carroll students to Saints games once more.

They call themselves the Carroll Crazies. A namesake of the student led cheering section with a rowdy past, a group known for their eclectic out ts, wild enthusiasm and unconditional ruckus support of Carroll athletics.

It is that legacy – the joy and fun of college game day – that Tyler Zimmer, president of the newly reestablished Car-roll Crazies, hopes to resurrect.

“[There are] so many vibrant personali-ties at Carroll that can be loud and proud,” said Zimmer of the potential the Carroll student body has for a great cheering section. Zimmer is a sophomore chemistry major from Bellevue, Wash.

The Crazies came to the rst home volleyball and football games of the year, staking their spot in the front rows of the stands and cheering until voices were lost. At the time of his interview with The Prospector, Zimmer was battling a sore throat from leading Crazies cheers.

“I think it will catch on really fast and

people will love it – I already do,” said Jonathan Kujawa, a senior mathematics major from Sacramento, Calif. Kuja-wa added they need just a couple more energetic people spread throughout the students.

The group is waiting for approval from the Asso-ciated Students of Carroll College (ASCC) to become an of cial club at Carroll. The decision will be made at the rst ASCC meeting at the end of this month.

Zimmer and friend Al Mi-chael Olszewski recognized the need Carroll had for a student cheering section last year after attending a basket-ball game.

It is the same sentiment that motivated Brent Kon-ing and a group of students to start the Carroll Crazies in 2002 (their freshman year) after attending a pre-season football game. Originally from Portland, Koning was used to the hype of the Oregon Ducks student section. He estimated there were maybe 20 students in attendance that day.

Then and there Koning and his friends made a decision. They went and bought all the white T-shirts they could at Wal-Mart. Using homemade stencils and spray

paint they started T-shirt production on the residence oor of rd Main in St. Charles Hall. They knew of a group that had called themselves the Carroll Crazies in years past, a name adopted from the Duke

University students the “Cameron Crazies.” Little is known about this rst group and their contribu-tions to athletic events and the student body.

In an age where e-mail was still very new, anyone at Carroll could send an all-student email.

So, Koning and his friends did.

They invited every student to come up to rd Main and make a Crazies T-shirt for

ve dollars to wear at the second home football game.

He estimated they made over 00 T-shirts before the next game.

What followed is nothing short of crazy. “All decked and camoed out we

knocked on every single door on campus telling people to come to the game,” Kon-ing said in a phone interview earlier this month. Koning, who graduated in 2006 now works for Microsoft in Seattle.

The student force awed the crowd. Gary Turncott, head basketball coach at

the time, approached Koning and offered to sponsor T-shirts for the cheering stu-dents if the Crazies agreed to be at every basketball game that season.

Koning and his buddies agreed. He de-scribed their mission: “…create as much stuff as possible, and get it to as many people as possible, and charge people a buck.”

The T-shirts helped the student section gain momentum and strength. Carroll Crazies T-shirts, body paint, outrageous purple and gold gear and a ridiculous amount of energy for the game made the Crazies easily identi able among Saints fans.

Koning’s mother even made him a pur-ple and gold cape at his request.

The football team won the NAIA National Championships in December of that year. Koning and some of the Crazies were there, having fundraised to get to Tennessee.

The Crazies exceeded their promise to Coach Turncott. They were present at every volleyball, women’s and men’s basketball game that year and in subse-quent years.

“It started as something so homegrown and organic,” Koning said when describ-ing the evolution of the group.

Call it coincidence but Saints football won the NAIA National Championships

Welcome readers, congratula-tions on making it past the front page. Choosing to spend

some quality time with this newspaper and do more than merely scan the head-lines demonstrates a level of interest and curiosity that I nd endearing. In fact, it is your curiosity which has driven me to begin writing this column.

The truth is, as students we all spend an unnecessary amount of time discuss-ing petty campus gossip, bragging about how “weird” we got last weekend, and marveling at just how insolently stupid Miley Cyrus is. As a social creature, I value the importance of such discussions. On second thought, no, I really don’t.

What we talk about when we spend time together matters—and every frivo-lous conversation we have comes at the expense of awareness of ourselves and the world in which we live. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting that all of our conversations need to be about the mean-ing of the universe, nor do I think Carroll students are ignorant and preoccupied with only super cial conversations. On the contrary, I nd our campus to be ripe with engaging minds willing to discuss important issues. However, it is human nature to turn away from many of the hard realities confronting our generation and slip into trivial banter about nothing at all, and I’ll admit when Miley Cyrus’s hea-thenry gets the best of her and she twerks on live television, well, it’s hard not to talk about it. And yet, when the twerking is over, there are more important things going on in the world.

It is these “more important things going on in the world” that have moti-vated me to write this column. With each new issue of The Prospector I intend to introduce something provocative, argue at least one side of it, and leave it to you, the readers, to respond. In addition to provok-ing reader responses, this column will be a place for substantive content—nothing about Miley Cyrus, the Bieber, or the new little Prince George, I promise.

Perhaps we can consider the complex-ities of the Syrian civil war or a meaning-ful campus-wide issue. Whatever the top-ic, what matters to me is your response. And by response, I don’t mean texting or tweeting me. I’d like this column to serve as a vehicle that can help inspire informed discussion across our campus.

I encourage you to read this column, size up my argument, and discuss it with someone else. Who knows? You might disagree with my arguments and decide I am just an arrogant, pigheaded, English major with nothing better to do than use too many syllables. Or you might think I’m pigheaded, but am actually on to something. Either way, I encourage you to share your opinion with others (especially your pigheaded friends). If nothing else, through this column I hope to foster an elevated level of conversation on campus and toss a little fuel on the re of discussion. My years at Carroll have shown me that this school is laden with ready minds willing and able to consider things that matter.

So, if you’re interested, with each issue of The Prospector you will be able to turn the page and hopefully nd a well-founded argument that inspires your response. A month from now our country may be up to its military elbows in another country that most Americans can’t locate on a map. A month from now Edward Snowden will likely still be gal-livanting under the watchful eye of Vladi-mir Putin. A month from now Chicago’s record-breaking murder rate will almost certainly still be climbing. Such things ought to be part of our conversations. A month from now, this column will try to make sure that they are.

We are, you guessed it, com-munications majors. This gig seems to be a right of

passage for comm majors that have gone before us. So together, we have ven-tured into the unknown of editing The

Prospector. May we just say, it has been a crazy ride (and it is only September).

However, it has been an enjoyable one. An early lesson learned in the balancing act of life at Carroll is if you love what you do, no matter the hours, emails, and the passion and frustration that comes from taking on something as involved as this, there are silver linings and small victories with every new day. These can come in the form of calories, like the baked goods, coffees, and Jim-my Johns that are consumed in a week-end of editing and writing. They can be technological, like getting an awesome new computer (go Mac), or logging on to Facebook and seeing one blessed alum decided to keep tabs on their alma mater in good ol’ Helena, Montana. It seems, though, that the best part of the job has been the people.

Have you ever heard of the whole “ask and you shall receive” story? Well, if there is one lesson we have learned in our small stretch as editors, it is that if you ask, there are some pretty great peo-ple on this campus who will do every-thing in their power to make it happen.

So thank you Craig Blaker, for making our jobs easier than you could imagine; Patrick Harris, for elding our random requests, questions, and being an overall support to us; Tom McCarvel, for your support, assistance, and time; Patty White, for all of your help as we try and venture into the 21st century with Face-book and such; and Brent, you didn’t think we would forget you, did you? Thanks for having an open mind. There has yet to be a dull moment. To every-one who has helped with interviews, information, and questions, thank you for your time. To our staff of writers, Wayne, and Lacey, thank you for all of your hard work.

You may be thinking, isn’t it a little early for all the appreciation? We say no, and here’s why.

There is an awareness that comes with being in charge of “the voice” of the Carroll community. There are some pretty amazing stories, people, and ideas that are just under the surface of the ev-eryday things we hear and see. To echo Jay, we are trying to dig a little deeper here at The Prospector, and we would love your help.

For those of you who have picked up an issue once or twice in the past, you may notice that there have been some changes made. Design changes, sure, but we want the focus to be on the people. You, your team, your club, your interest, the song, T.V. show, or movie that is your latest obsession, your over-achiev-ing friend and all their accomplishments. This is what we want to ll The Pros-pector with. So, if you have an idea or story to tell, email us at Prospector@carroll.edu, “like” our Facebook page and post it (shameless, we know), or if you are old school, you can even come up to us (see above with any confusion of who to approach). We would love to hear from you, because really, without you, the readers, what we do wouldn’t really make much sense.

Crazies continued from front page

four years in a row: 2002, 200 , 200 , 2005. One title for each year the group who started the Crazies was at Carroll.

Koning describes his years in college as a Crazy with palpable fervor and zeal. He spoke of the immense sense of support from the “massive community” of people who love Carroll College and love athletics.

The original Crazies numbers dwin-dled as wild leaders graduated. There were a few faithful standout students who tried to carry the torch but to Koning’s knowledge the group had “ zzled out” by 2010.

Senior biology major Keeli Nelson of Newman Lake, Wash. remembers students selling yellow “We Crazy” T-shirts fall of 2010. The student section was decked out in these T-shirts at the rst football game. Nelson said that season was the last year the Crazies were present as a group at any Carroll events.

Though it may have contributed, con-troversy over the infamous “Tuck Fech” shirts were not a direct cause of the loss of student numbers. The student section had already diminished signi cantly before the athletic department and Carroll adminis-tration decided to not allow offensive and obscene T-shirts into events.

The student section at Carroll has been in much the same condition as it was back in 2002 when Koning was a freshman.

Signi cant efforts to liven the Saints games have been made in the last two years. The athletic department has put on numerous theme night events and hosted half-time competitions. In Fall of 2011, students Chris Kiefer and Cody Hopkins started “Saint’s Row”, a club which at-tempted to encourage student participation at games using a point system. Students could earn points by going to games and cheering. The club started during the volleyball season and lasted through most of the basketball season, however most students lost interest and didn’t want to attend practices to learn cheers. Most recently, the track and cross-country team brought their numbers, endurance and painted bodies to every Saints game. The team was encouraged by their coach to support their fellow athletes and rile up the competition.

The Carroll Crazies have already had success this fall. They white-washed the student section at the homecoming football game against Montana Tech. The “Be Like Mike” T-shirts, sponsored by

Student Activities and the Athletic De-partment, were in high demand amongst students in the days leading up to the game. The student section was packed through the fourth quarter of the game.

“It was fun and crazy,” said freshman Paige Plancich, a biology major from Bellingham, Wash., about the homecom-ing game. “They screamed Moses and no one knew what they were saying until they ran through us – it was festive!” Plancich described the crowd movement where the Crazies ‘parted’ the student section at the end of the 2nd quarter as Al Olzsewski ran up the newly created isle with a giant Carroll College ag.

“They [the Carroll Crazies] are excited about supporting teams with the same passion (as the previous group), and they are excited for cheering on the team and helping them be motivated and that is the reason they want to get together,” said Patrick Harris, director of student activities.

Zimmer wants the Crazies to be “some-thing for the long term”.

As a club the Crazies hope to be a sustaining force in the Carroll College community.

“If you are not a club the potential for dying off is way higher,” said Zimmer, who added he did not want to offend the previous group of Crazies.

The only requirement to be included in the club is to show up in the student section at games. Students can stay con-nected with the Carroll Crazies by ‘liking’ the Facebook page or sending an e-mail to Tyler Zimmer requesting to be on the e-mail list.

Jacob Hanley, assistant director of community living, is the staff adviser of the prospective club. Hanley said being a part of the student section is an import-ant aspect of the college experience and enhances the atmosphere of the game.

“We don’t expect everyone to be crazy

and wild but to at least have energy,” said Hanley.

In the hay day of the previous group of Crazies, Brent Koning defended the group constantly when they came under re for different behaviors or activities associated with the group. Koning described himself as the liaison between the administration and the students. These students were not a club, they were an assembly of students who loved Carroll and loved sports.

Harris described the relationship between the student Crazies and Carroll

administration and faculty in the past as a love/hate relationship. Carroll loved the student enthusiasm and support for the athletics, but disagreed with some of the student group’s pre-game and post-game activities.

Other practices of the group have become Carroll traditions. For instance, the slow gatorclap for each Carroll kickoff had its start in the previous group of Car-roll Crazies.

With a staff adviser and hopeful status as a club the new Crazies are creating partnerships with Carroll administration and the Athletic Department.

“I’m stoked that it’s back because I think it is a really important part of Car-roll,” said Koning.

The potential club hopes to make an impact on the upcoming generations of

Carroll students and gain leaders from the freshman class each year.

“I want them [the students] to have fun while they do it,” said Zimmer. “I want them to be like ‘Oh, I get to cheer for Carroll!’”

“I think the athletes recognize the support, they hear them [the students] and they see them, they know they are there,” said Head Football Coach Mike Van De-ist, who believes the students are a large part of team identity.

“They honestly make a difference at our games,” said senior volley-ball player Emma Priddy. “They are emotional lead-ers, by cheering us on and being loud it gets us amped up and instills con dence in us that they are behind us.” Priddy is a health science and nursing major from Missoula.

Athletic Director Bruce Parker is looking forward to the organization the Cra-zies will bring to the stu-dent section. He believes the Crazies represent the supportive spirit of Carroll.

“We are different from every other team in the Frontier with the enthusi-asm of our students,” said Parker.

The Crazies intend on being at every football, men’s basketball, soccer, volleyball and women’s basketball games. Simi-

lar to the “Be like Mike” T-shirts at the homecoming football game the Crazies will have T-shirts for both men’s and women’s basketball this season.

“I think it is going to be the best year ever because of the support with our teams and the support within the rst weeks of school,” Parker said.

“Ideally I come back ve years after graduation and there are people going nuts [at games],” said Zimmer. “Hopefully it is something greater than I can achieve in my three years – bigger and better than I could ever make it.”

Forty years ago, if you stumbled upon Carroll College, chances are you would be greeted by a nun or priest in the classroom or walking around campus. Presently, that chance has signi cantly diminished.

What does this have to do with Pro-fessor Dr. Chris Fuller receiving the new position as Dean of Mission Institutional and Effectiveness? According to Fuller, the answer lies within the Carroll College Mission Statement: “In the ecumenical tradition of the Second Vatican Council, Carroll College is committed to a policy of open participation by members of all religious faiths and all persons of good will in the total academic and spiritual ex-perience of the college community.” He sees the Carroll College mission statement

as the North Star to guide him through his duties.

Last December, President Evans and Fuller began talking about the position of Dean of Mission. They discussed what responsibilities the Dean of Mission would hold and their mutual interests. In late April of this year, it was nalized that Fuller would obtain the position as Dean of Mission.

Fuller has big plans for Carroll. Through his new position, he would like to hold a series of conversations without pre-judgments among faculty and students throughout the academic year on under-standing what it means to be a Catholic school. Fuller wants to hear from students and faculty of all faiths. “We can’t know where we can go,” says Fuller, “without knowing what people are thinking.”

He would also like to include alumni in the discussion. Fuller would like to know what alumni viewed as the most signi -

cant part of their education here at Carroll and what the Catholic perspective had involved.

Fuller is currently researching what other Catholic schools are doing to main-tain their Catholic identity, and he hopes to use and adapt their methods to better

t Carroll. He also attends meetings with faculty and staff to discuss the direction of Carroll’s future. “All, regardless if Cath-olic or not, believe in Carroll’s mission,” says Fuller, “and they are dedicated to maintaining its rich tradition. “

He stresses that being Catholic is not a rubber stamp. There is the “big C” Catholic which is the Catholic Church and “small c” catholic which means univer-sal. Carroll gives students a distinctive educational opportunity to search for truth by incorporating and integrating all disciplines. An education that many other colleges cannot offer.

How does Carroll live and manifest its mission? Fuller believes that all of us in some way live out Carroll’s mission. Carroll has a rich history and character only common to Catholic schools. It stresses the importance of “Non Scholae Sed Vitae” and service to the community. Catholic social teaching sees services as being a characteristic of being Catholic.

As for the matter of the decline of priests on Carroll campus. Fuller notes that it would be wonderful to see a former student of Carroll return and become a priestly partner to Father Marc.

“Stretched very thin,” explains Fuller, “Father Marc gives a lot of himself to the students.” Potentially, Father Marc has 1 00 students calling upon him. Fuller feels, “Liturgical life is a great reminder of many roles in the Church. They dedi-cate their entire life a powerful reminder of service to the people.”

Garden honoring beloved alum will be dedicated in the spring

Library plans to unveil new rooms in Nov.Nate Kavanagh

“Your life a blessing, your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond

measure.” –Unknown

As many of you have noticed, there is a large project under way outside of the campus center. This is more than just another project; it is the Luke Roach Memorial Garden. Luke Roach graduated from Carroll in 2001 as a pre-med student with the highest honors. He was in the process of applying to medical schools when he died unexpectedly running in a Chicago Marathon on Oct. 7, 2001.

There is a reason that the garden is in the busiest part of campus. “Everyone knew Luke Roach. We wanted to create a place to bring space to his memory, a space on campus that is re ective yet inviting,” stated Candie Cain, executive director of development and alumni and friend of the Roach family.

This summer started the building of the Luke Roach Memorial Garden. A project made possible by a generous donation from Dr. John "Michael" and Nancy Roach, parents of Luke. The garden has walls built around it so students, family, and friends can sit on the walls, re ect, chat, and/or think.

This upcoming spring, the memorial will be dedicated to Luke. The family and Carroll would love to see student involvement in the dedication, including students putting in the dirt and students also planting in the garden. On Oct. 7, 2001, while running the Chicago Marathon, Roach passed away.

According to The Seattle Times, Luke was pronounced dead 5 minutes later at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Authorities stated that Roach’s cause of death was heat-related. Roach left behind a loving family, but not his legacy. This memorial will prosper into the person that Luke Roach was and grow into the man he had become.

A high-tech presentation room and three study rooms are being added to the interior of the Jack and Sallie Corette Library. Christian Frazza, library director, hopes the additions will be completed and open for use in November. “We wanted to make a space in the library where there could be intellectually stimulating events,” stated Frazza of the new presentation room on the upper level. “It is good for the library and good for the college,” said Frazza. “All the projects are funded with donated money.” The funding for the presentation room came from a generous donation from Carroll board of trustees member Ronald Rickman and wife Tarcella. The Rickmans also donated funds for the high tech and popular Sandbox room which is adjacent to the new presentation room. Rickman committed to donating funds to Carroll during its centennial campaign in 2009. The funds were not used until the idea for the Sandbox was pitched to Rickman. A portion of his original commitment was used for the Sandbox, while the remainder will be used on the new presentation room. The three study rooms on the lower level were made possible through a generous gift from Shaun and Mary Ann Corette. Shaun is on the Carroll board of trustes and is the son of the library’s namesake. Corette’s donation also helped purchase new chairs for the lower level. “These people are nice folks and excited about their gift,” stated Dan Case, associate director of academic technology. The presentation room will be open for students to view lms, attend poetry readings, listen to speakers, and practice presentations. “It is a different, active, and engaging

space,” stated Case. Frazza “encourages students to make use of it…that’s what it’s there for.” The room will seat , a classroom size Carroll is lacking. The space will be utilized for classes beginning in January. Technology features of the spacious room will include a “massive motorized screen,” two LCD screens on either side, and a “really nice sound system,” according to Case. The library had an acoustical engineer come to ensure the room would have optimal acoustics for speaking, videos, and music. The room will be sound proof, so people can enjoy lms and music without disturbing students studying in the library. The room will be a nice space for Carroll press conferences with comfortable, tiered seating for media and

audience members. Case is in search of a reference to the new room. He plans to post a QR code in the library for students to scan with smart phones and then submit ideas. The three study rooms on the lower level of the library will provide students with even more options for diverse studying. White board paint was applied to the rooms on Friday, September 20. One of the rooms will be larger than the other two and is “group-oriented with technology that is really simple to use,” said Case. It will have a large screen students can plug their laptops into so they can view information easier than gathering around a small computer screen. These new rooms will be available on a rst come rst serve basis when they open. If necessary, a reserve system will be put in place.

“Traf c has been going up, and up, and up,” shared Case. “Students are responding to the changes in the library.” The library was built in 1979 with an un nished basement. The basement wasn’t completed until the mid- 0s. No major changes were made to the interior until the last few years. Since those changes have been made, the library has been “getting more use than ever,” stated to Frazza. “We are catching up with what other colleges have done throughout the state, and in many ways we have gone beyond,” stated Kathy Martin, circulation and interlibrary loan supervisor. Colleges from Montana and throughout the northwest have visited Carroll’s library to see and learn about all of the new changes. The Sandbox has drawn much attention. An article about the Sandbox by Case was even published in a national magazine. “It’s been nice to do something unique and then share it,” said Case. “Every year there is something new,” added Martin. She explained projects have grown from creating a computer lab, to the Sandbox, and now these most recent projects. “It de nitely takes a lot of work,” stated Martin. The library is moving toward more of a “learning commons” space described Case. The upper oor is more collaboration, while the lower level will remain a quieter study area. Frazza and Case would both like to hear feedback from students and faculty about the changes in the library, and suggestions for changes they would like to see in the library. “We want to continue this,” said Case. “What should we do next?” You can submit your suggestions by speaking directly to the library staff or sending an email to dcase@carroll.edu or CFrazza@carroll.edu.

CampusFreshman class fewer than expected

Carroll Adventure and Mountaineering Program. also known as CAMP, is a club that has many exciting activities to offer to students of all ages and abilities. From climbing and shing clinics, to camping and backpacking trips there is something for everyone. CAMP has already had a non-freshman backpacking trip into the Bob Marshall Wilderness. This weekend trip was available for all upper classmen as the freshmen are offered their own backpacking trip in late September. The Bob Marshall Wilderness is located in north-central Montana near Augusta. “My favorite part of the backpacking trip was the waterfalls we hiked to and swam in,” said Alyssa Carlson, a junior biology major from Marine on the St. Croix, Minn. Upcoming events include more camping and backpacking trips, a y- shing clinic, a rock-climbing clinic, and trail running Tuesdays. Adventure-seeking Kathleen Schut, a junior math major and environmental studies minor, is this year’s president. According to Schut, students should join CAMP because, “We live in the beautiful state of Montana, and everyone should have the opportunity to experience it." Students who have questions about CAMP can check out the club’s Facebook page where they post about future events, or email Kathleen at kschut@carroll.edu. The club will have a link on the Carroll Student Life page to their own web page by the end of September. CAMP offers a rental deal for students needing gear or proper equipment to participate in these fun- lled activities. Students may rent equipment for one dollar per item, per day. Students who are eager for fun and adventure in Montana’s great outdoors should look for this club's appealing activities. CAMP offers two weekly scheduled events: Mountain Bike Mondays and Trail Run Tuesday (weather permitting).

Barring the fact that the number of rst-year students in Carroll’s class of

2017 is far fewer than projected, the remaining class statistics are comparable to those of last year’s group said Nina Lococo, Carroll’s vice president of enrollment. One year after the class of 2016 achieved a record enrollment of rst-year students, this year’s group numbers only 20 (this number does not include transfer students). “Last year was somewhat of a high-water mark,” said Lococo, “but this was another strong year.” Prior to May 1, 201 , Lococo said the applicant pool looked like it was going to deliver another record-setting enrollment. However, when tuition deposits came due, only a portion of the ,272 applicants paid up. After not reaching another record setting class as anticipated, the question arises of shortages in the Carroll budget. “That always happens to some degree, just not the degree we were necessarily anticipating in light of last year’s numbers.” Lococo added, Among the rst-year students that indicated a speci c academic interest or major in their applications, 5 declared they will study pre-med, 57 pre-nursing, 2 biology, and 22 “undecided.” The remaining students either did not declare a major or indicated interested in majors not included in this list for lack of signi cant numbers. Fifty-eight percent (1 6 students) of the incoming rst-year class are women, 2 percent (1 ) are men. Lococo said

this ratio is typical for Carroll and in accordance with national trends. One-hundred- fteen of the incoming students were in-state; came from Washington state, 6 from Idaho, 25 from Oregon and 1 from California. In all, 19 states are represented in the class of 2017. One rst-year student is from Nepal. Within Carroll’s application an applicant can complete an optional section that indicates her or his religious

af liation. Of the population of the incoming class that completed this section, 56 percent identify as Catholic and 20 percent wished not to disclose the information. Catholic high schools comprise the background education for only 21 percent of the incoming students, and this gure has remained steady for the past ve years, Lococo recalled. The average high school GPA between

the rst-year Carroll students is .59 (not weighted) and the median 50 percent ranges between GPAs of . 75 and . 9. SAT scores vary similarly with the median 50 percent falling between 1500 and 1750 while the average is 162 on a scale capped at 2200. The ACT median 50 percent ranges between a score of 22 and 27 on a scale of 6; the average is 2 .

The Blessing of the Hands

Give me strength and wisdom, When others need my touch;

A soothing word to speak to them, Their hearts yearn for so much.

Give me joy and laughter,To lift a weary soul;

Pour in me compassion,To make the broken whole.

Give me gentle healing hands,For those left in my care;

A blessing to those who need me, This is a Nurse’s Prayer.

A Nurse’s Prayer; Allison Chambers Coxsey

On August 2 , newly inducted nursing students were of cially welcomed into the nursing program by taking part in the optional Blessing of the Hands Ceremony. Students’ hands were blessed with oil and love from the nursing professors. The hands were not just blessed with love and oil, they were spiritually blessed, as well, to help guide the students on their missions to becoming nurses and to all God has individually in store for them. "One of the things that is really striking is the uniqueness of a department coming together and doing it at the beginning of the year," said Rev. Marc Lenneman. The campus chaplain asserted that this shows that at Carroll, "there is a lot more than academic knowledge that is being imparted to people." “The Blessing of the Hands ceremony was a beautiful way to start off the semester. As a sophomore nursing student, it is an incredible feeling to have the support and encouragement from not only an amazing faculty, but also from our fellow nursing students," shared Bobbi Soper, a sophomore nursing student from Great Falls.

"The ceremony left me with a feeling of friendship and community and also with a sense of responsibility to use my hands to help bring comfort and healing to the lives I will touch,” concluded Soper. So what was the blessing all about? Fr. Marc explained that the blessing used both the hands and oil, which is a unique symbol in the Catholic tradition. The blessing of the oil is a "sign of being chosen and receiving a mission," said Fr. Marc. He went on to say that people who were annointed with oil in the Bible were "both chosen by God by name and given a mission or task...I think that that applies to the nursing department."

Father Marc expressed that all of the nursing students are chosen obviously by their professors but, more importantly, by God, "to be a presence of healing and comfort to those in need." It is not just a career these students are pursuing, but a vocation, a calling, and "that is much more than a job," stated Father Marc. Nurses are charged with the mission "to extend God’s love through touch, presence, words, and knowledge to someone in need, especially to those who are suffering," said Father Marc. This mission to serve the suffering is the foundation of this blessing of the hands.

"Of the many departments at Carroll, it’s obvious that there is a deep relationship between the teachers and students. They really care for each other and that’s what makes the Nursing program so special," said Lenneman. Hands are a nurse’s tools to carry out healthcare excellence. Nurses need hands for every aspect of care for a patient. Even in greeting the patient or providing therapeutic care, the hands are a powerful tool. “The hands become healing instruments,” stated Father Marc. Why wouldn’t we want them blessed with love and spiritual guidance?

Campus History 1946

Pictured above is the Nursing Class of 1954. The institution of this program was instrumental in Carroll's transition into a co-ed institution.

Photo courtsey of Carroll College

The Carroll College Nursing program we know today was founded in a humble response to a nation’s call for help. As the United States entered World War II, U.S. Congress allotted .5 million for nursing education across the country. Encour-agement from the government motivated the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, Kansas, to begin a School of Nursing in Montana in 19 .

The war had created many needs within the folds of American society. As America’s young men were shipped to the front lines, enrollment at Carroll – an all male school at the time – diminished signi cantly. The threat of Carroll having to close its doors loomed over the head of then president Most Rev. Emmet J. Riley.

The V-12 college based military program that had sustained enrollment at Carroll through the war was about to end and Riley was in need of another source for students. As told in Bold Minds and Blessed Hands written by history professor Dr. Robert Swartout, “Riley approached the Sisters of Charity with the

idea of establishing a ve-year program in nursing education at Carroll that would lead to a Bachelor of Science degree.”

Thirty- ve women started in the nursing program Fall of 19 6. Women from around the region were coming to Helena to attend this accredited nursing school during the boom after World War II.

The nursing program is still a major attraction for students coming to Car-roll. Fifty-seven freshmen have declared themselves pre-nursing students and the nursing department just inducted stu-dents into its rigorous program. First year nursing student, Megan Gra-ble, a native of Calif., knows for certain Carroll was the right t for her, “[the] holistic focus of the nursing program was something I was looking for. The faculty has a reputation of taking great interest in students’ success in nursing practice. They care for us on a personal level as well.” When asked if she remembers the day she was accepted to the Carroll College nursing program, she smiled and said “Yes!” “I almost cried when I opened my letter,” said Grable. “I instantly called my family to tell them. It was a good day.” The success of the program and co-educational enrollment led Carroll’s administration to admit women into the

other majors Carroll provided in 1952. The nursing program led the way for this pivotal development in the college’s history.

From the all-boys college that Carroll once was, to war allies they transformed

into, and nally the co-educational college that we attend today, Carroll remained dedicated to growth and cultural aware-ness throughout it all.

The women’s soccer team had two tough games in Oregon on September 20 and 22. They dropped a non-conference game to Concordia University in Portland 0-2 and tied with Frontier foe Southern Oregon 0-0. They now have a -2-1 record.

The team will be traveling until October 11 when they play host to Westminster. The Lady Saints will then host three more games before nishing the season on the road.

“We are off to a good start so far this season,” Junior Tessa Neameyer stated. “We had two big wins at home very early in the season and had two tough games in Spokane.”

Neameyer, a native of Bismark, N.D., has been on the team since her freshman year, and has had enough experience to notice the new dynamic that is taking over.

“We have a young team with only nine upperclassmen and 21 underclassmen,” said Neameyer, “but that has allowed younger players to be playmakers on the

eld and more experienced players to take on leadership roles.”

This change has encouraged the younger players to step up, and has placed one freshman in the spotlight. As of September 10, Jamie Carter was named the Frontier Conference Women’s Soccer Defensive Player of the Week.

“I was de nitely not expecting that recognition, but I feel honored.” Carter commented.

With the majority of the team com-

prised of underclassmen, many players are still adjusting to the fast pace of playing at such a high level. Freshman Lauryn Grossman has also found her place on the Carroll team, and notices the difference between high school and college athletics.

“It’s a lot harder than high school soccer, and it’s more intense,” Grossman added, “but soccer players are a great group of people, and everyone gets along super well.”

Even though it’s early in the season, the team has been improving immensely.

“As the season goes on we’ve been improving a lot compared to the rst game of the season,” Carter added, “We have learned to play to each other’s strengths and talents so it all works out.”

The girls lost to Northwest University 1-0, but have won their other games. They beat Northwest Christian -1, and the Bi-ola Eagles 1-0. They came out 2-1 in their grueling game against College of Idaho, where star player Macie Netz led the team to victory.

“Our goal every season is to win the frontier conference and move on to the national tournament,” Neameyer conclud-ed. And with this talented group of girls I de nitely think that is possible.”

With the effort and practice put in, the team’s goal is most de nitely attainable, and these hardworking girls are deserving of this win.

“Overall we have a very tough sched-ule ahead of us and we can’t take anyone lightly,” Neameyer stated. The soccer ladies’ next home game is October 11, so come out and support the Carroll Saints’ soccer team.

“We really want to beat Westminster,” Grossman added, “and we’d love to see some Carroll spirit in the stands!”

The Lady Saints volleyball team lost a hard-fought battle at home on Saturday, September 21, failing to ght back in four (25-2 , 25-19, 25-27, 25-19) against the Lewis-Clark State Warriors. The loss has left the Lady Saints with an -9 record overall.

Senior Elli Graff from Bozeman led the

Saints with a record nine kills and only one error, ending the game with a . hitting percentage, while the team nished with a .0 7 percentage. Kathleen Mulli-gan, however, followed Graff closely with eight kills, and freshman Natalie Kassa led the team in digs with 17. Mulligan is a junior from Des Moines, Wash., while Kassa is a freshman from Spokane, Wash.

This loss followed a victory against Westminster College on September 19; the ladies won in ve matches at home. The week before, on September 1 , the ladies

lost in four to MSU Northern in Havre. On September 6, the ladies beat both

the University of Mary and Minot State at home, -0 in both games, and they did the same to the Montana Tech Diggers on September 5.

In August the Lady Saints hit the road to play the top competition in the NAIA. They battled hard, but fell to The Masters College (1- ), Westmont College (1- ), and Concordia Irvine (0- ). These losses followed a 0- loss to Biola and a -1 triumph over Corban University.

The Saints spikers traveled through-out the northwest for some more tough preseason play against Eastern Oregon, Oregon Tech, Northwest University, War-ner Paci c and Evergreen State.

As the Saints prepare to ght against the University of Great Falls on September 25 and UM Western on September 2 , they hope to pick up their momentum and improve upon their -9 record.

Their next home game is on October 5 against conference foe MSU-Northern.

Volleyball team heads into thick of conference play

Connor Hausauer won the Carroll Col-lege Frontier Conference Invite at Green Meadow Country Club on September 2 . Hausauer nished the 5 -hole event one stroke under par on his way to individual victory and led the Saints to a second place team nish. Hausauer, a junior from Bozeman, led after the rst day of the invite and never looked back.

Junior Jackie Mee from Libby, Mont. led the women's team with a seventh place

nish. The women's team took third place overall.

Hausauer and Mee also led the Saints teams in Billings on September 12-1 for the MSUB Yellow Jacket Fall Invitational.

Mee won the tournament with a putt on the nal hole. She was the only female

golfer from Carroll at the tournament. Mee trimmed ve strokes off her impres-sive rst day score, and nished with a two-round total of 151.

In the men’s division, Carroll nished third in the seven-team event. Hausauer

nished in fth place with a nal score of 1 2. Hausauer also made the all-tourna-ment team.

Taylor Ratliff had a personal best of four under par and nished in seventh place. Carroll’s nal team score of the two day tournament was 57 .

North Idaho came in rst place, with host MSUB coming in second.

The Saints linksters will compete at Rocky Mountain College’s meet in Bill-ings on September 29- 0 before conclud-ing their fall season on October in Great Falls. The golfers will pick up play in the spring.

The rebuilding running Saints com-peted in their second meet of the season at the Bozeman Running Compnany/MSU Cross Country Open on Saturday, Septem-ber 21.

The men’s team placed eighth, right behind Rocky Mountain College. The women nished ninth in the team stand-ings behind only Division I schools.

Senior Sancho Ridesatthedoor from Missoula led the men completing the 5 mile course in 26: 7.

Freshman Leah Esposito, a Helena native, led the women’s team with her top 20 nish and 1 :10 clocking of the three mile course.

Both teams are the reigning Fron-tier Conference champions. The women placed fth at nationals last season, while the men came in 2 th. The Saints will have a tough road ahead of them if they want to improve upon last year’s nishes.

“We lost some key athletes this year so we are very young,” said distance coach David Morris.

The top runner from both the men’s and women’s teams will be redshirting this year, Lyle Pocha and Rhianna Gross-man. Pocha, a Great Falls native, is in his third year, while Grossman, a Coeur d' Alene native, is in her fourth year.

“That was the plan for them all along and it will give the freshmen a chance to develop and gain some experience,” stated Morris.

The women were ranked 5th in the

national and picked to win the conference in the national preseason poll.

“Expectations are high on the wom-en’s side,” said Morris. “The conference is strong, but I think the women can make it to nationals.”

It will be dif cult for the men to defend their conference championship.

“With Lyle Pocha redshirting and Dennis Leigh hurt we really only have one of our top four back from last year’s team,” said Morris. He want on to say it’s harder for men to contribute as freshman as they move from mile races in high school to km races in college.

Runners to watch for the Saints include Esposito and Ridsatthedoor, who were both were named Frontier Confer-ence runners of the week after leading the Saints in their own Early Bird Invitational on September 6.

The men and women both nished second behind the University of Montana in that meet.

“Leah worked really hard over the summer and everything seems to be click-ing for her,” praised Morris.

Morris said the women need a fth runner and are looking for Macala

Fi eld from Fairbanks, Alaska to ll that position.

The Saints will compete in three more meets before heading to Lewiston, Idaho for the Frontier Conference Cham-pionships on November .

Young cross country teams doing well at early meets

The Fighting Saints are off to a roaring season, currently sitting with a -0 overall record after a stunning 2 -17 win over Rocky Mountain College in Billings on September 21.

Both teams entered Herb Kindt Field with -0 records, but the number Saints knocked the number 19 Bears into their

rst defeat. Tailback Dustin Rinker led the Saints through the NAIA’s “Game of the Week” with 169 rushing yards and a touchdown in the third quarter.

The game was characterized by a high scoring second quarter and two defen-sive stops made by Carroll in the fourth quarter.

2 of the 1 points of the game were scored during the second time period.

In the fourth quarter, Carroll led 2 -17 with the Bears marching into Saints' territory.

Rocky had a rst down on the Saints' 27 yard line, but two quarterback sacks by Bryan Graupman held the Bears scoreless on their second to last possession.

The Bears then made it to the Saints' 7-yard line and had more yards to go on a fourth down. The rushing Saints

defense forced an incomplete pass and ended the Bear's hopes of a comeback.

The Saints' win over Rocky avenged a loss from last year at the Billings school's

eld. This victory followed a stunning win

over the Saints’ rivals, the Montana Tech Diggers on September 1 . The nal 21-7 score silenced the large crowd of Digger fans at Nelson Stadium and provided Saints fans with a satisfying homecoming victory.

The Saints offense was sparked by a 90 yard punt return by Jared Mayernik at the end of the rst quarter.

The previous weekend, on September 7, the Saints scored a stunning 1- victory over MSU Northern at home, following an astonishing season-opening victory of 51-7 over Menlo College in Atherton, Calif on August 1.

The season thus far has shown a massive improvement over last year’s season in which the Saints nished with a 7- overall record and without a trip to the national championships. The Saints, hoping to keep their momentum strong, will be playing against Eastern Oregon on September 2 and will return home to Nelson Stadium to face Dickinson State on October 12.

Students from all around the world come to Carroll College to study. They take a chance to become a part of the Carroll family. Some stay for one semester or one year, others even for all four years. On Thursday, August 29, Michelle Lewis organized an international dinner where not just all exchange students, but also the returning study abroad students, and the academic advisers had the chance to get acquainted. At the dinner, people from diverse cultures had the chance to meet each other to share impressions about life at Carroll. While enjoying tacos, students had the chance to become acquainted with other Carroll students. “It was so nice meeting all the

international students, but also nding out about experiences Americans had in Europe while they lived abroad,” Margot Möslinger, from Salzburg, Austria, said cheerfully. Everyone was excited to nd out about differences and similarities between the different countries. The club “Oasis” was presented during dinner. The club leaders intend to be really active this year, and they organize trips and group activities all year long. If students join, they have the opportunity to explore the country and even to experience Glacier National Park. After dinner, students had a great time exchanging cultural impressions. Some were wearing their traditional dresses, which they brought from Guinea, Pakistan, and Austria. To some students, these clothes looked like fancy carnival costumes, while others were reminded of the movie Sound of Music. “I had a great dinner, met wonderful people

from different countries, talked to them, learned something about their cultures, and even learned how to dance a cultural dance," shared Ibrahima Niang, from Conakry, Guinea. This time it was not a swing dance, but the “Viennese Waltz” to classical music that was practiced intensively. During their rst weeks in Montana students experienced the outdoors with their fellow classmates by participating in some scenic and adventurous events. The white-water rafting trip outside of Missoula, the freshman retreat, and a three day backpacking adventure are just some of the experiences that students were able to enjoy this fall. Over and over, exchange students are being asked, “Why Carroll, why Helena?” They do not have any dif culties in

nding reasons why they enjoy studying at Carroll College.

Margot Möslinger

English major Salzburg, Austria"People here are so open and

friendly. I’ve never experienced such a community before! There are so many things to do. I like, for example, the international dinner we had and all the

different clubs you can join. Also, I’m looking forward to the white-water rafting and the backpacking trip."

Ferdinand Ohrel

Sports Management major Strasbourg, France"I absolutely enjoy the life on

campus. Everything is so close, such as the cafeteria, or the classrooms. I’m very lucky with my roommates who I really like a lot. Helena is a

great place to study because I’m a big fan of outdoor activities, such as hiking, or skiing. I don’t really like big cities, but rather quiet places such as this one."

Cristina Beldarrain

International Relations and Translation majors Madrid, Spain

"I like that it is not a really big college. People get to know each other so easily! Moreover, the mountains are really close and we can go skiing in the winter."

Ibrahima Niang

Electrical Engineering major Conakry, Guinea

"What I like most at Carroll is that the school is so diverse, and that teachers are real experts in their domain. Carroll is great school with a great engineering

program. Plus, everyone is friendly and nice."

While most college students look at summer as a time to relax, with their highest priority of getting a tan, several Carroll students spent their break learning and growing in their elds of study. Three seniors shared their adventures, drawing attention to more than their tan lines. Jena Boehnke, a senior communi-cations/public relations major with a marketing minor called Dallas, Texas her headquarters for 12 weeks. The Missoula native worked as an event planner for Southwest Airlines, a highly sought-after and competitive internship. “My favorite part was meeting all of the other interns who were from around the United States along with international students,” the clearly motivated Boehnke admitted. “The entire Southwest team was amazing”. One of graduate and undergraduate interns, Boehnke was able to get out of the of ce setting and take advantage of bene ts given by the airlines. “I got to visit 16 different cities in the United States; it was a great opportunity to visit places that I had been before, or to see new ones,” she re ected, “these included Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, and New Orleans. Little did Boehnke know, when she was in New York, she was very close to a

Carroll classmate. Sam Mota-Martinez was in downtown New York in Bellevue Hospital working as a volunteer. For 10 weeks, the pre-med student from Orange County, Calif. worked with the low-income/immigrant population that frequents the hospital. “I really learned to reach out,” Mo-ta-Martinez reminisced. “I became the middle man between patient and doctor relations. My concern was to be a person to them, to listen, and to give them com-passion”. Mota-Martinez was immersed as a Certi ed Nursing Assistant in the very active emergency room, spending time with patients in the waiting room, and transporting patients seven days a week. “Being in a big city, low-income area I saw it all,” the experience still fresh in his mind, “stabbing victims, shootings, overdose—I learned a lot about how im-portant it is to be ef cient when a place is so understaffed.” Mota-Martinez always came back to the importance of reaching out to others, even in all of the chaos. While Mota-Martinez lived each day in hectic bliss, his fellow pre-med classmate was half a world away in the stillness of a laboratory. Jill Harmon spent three months in Mainz, Germany at Johannes Gutenberg University Medical School researching adoptive T-cell immunotherapy—or can-

cer research. “My four years of German in high school piqued my interest in Germany,” an adventure that the Hamilton, Mont. girl had dreamed of for a long time. Harmon lived in the city center of “the beautiful city”, and walked a mile and a half to work every day where she worked alongside a doctoral student and was eventually given her own project. “I was able to experience a new research environment and culture which pointed out new details to me,” the senior re ected. While she was able to travel on the weekends, Harmon wants to go back someday and experience more of Germa-ny. These three students have memories, experiences, and knowledge to last them a lifetime because of the once daunting step that they took into a summer of uncertain-ty. “Traveling abroad makes you step into your own,” Harmon smiled. “It made me grow and become independent.” Mota-Martinez insightfully shared, “I gained the spirit of taking care of people that no one else will,” clearly a lesson that imprinted the doctor hopeful. “I will be reapplying for the position next summer,” Boehnke concluded. “The only thing that will kill your dream is not trying."

CampusEight students spend summer abroad

11Thursday, September 26, 2013

Need a change? Do you want to have an adventurous summer while broadening your horizon? Then a summer education abroad is an option that the Education Abroad office hopes students will consider. From doing social work to developing leadership qualities, taking classes on a different continent to learning a language, or simply traveling and encountering a completely different area of the world—there is a lot that an education abroad has to offer. This past summer, eight Carroll students decided to accept the challenge to learn and live overseas. They went to France, Italy, Greece, Costa Rica, Jordan, and Chile to take classes and get to know each country, respectively. One student, Shannon Schober, spent six weeks in Greece from June 15 to July 2 . “In Greece I took two classes that counted towards my philosophy and theology core credits at Carroll. I particularly liked my ‘Life of Apostle Paul’ class because it enabled us to travel all over Greece. I only had four days of class and was able to go to Athens, Santorini, and Korfu, which are really popular tourist sites on weekends. Some people also went to Israel or Italy, as

traveling is fairly cheap,” explained Schober. Schober learned to adapt while she interacted in a foreign country. “My summer study-abroad was definitely a growth experience since I went to a foreign country and didn’t speak the language.” Schober also explained that the program she went with in Greece was fairly new, and therefore still a little disorganized, she would definitely recommend going to Greece and doing a summer education abroad. Also, summer is a good time to go—especially for science or pre-med students—because classes don’t have to be interrupted by going for a full semester. Students who are interested in studying abroad should consider the two different types of education abroad programs that Carroll College offers. One type is the individual education abroad organized by Globalinks, AIFS (American Institute for Foreign Study), or ISA (International Education abroad). Programs are available with durations between two and 16 weeks—whatever fits best for you. Whether you would like to study in Italy, Japan, Morocco, or Brazil, there are programs offered all over the world. Alternatively, there are two faculty-led tours planned for the summer of 201 . One is to Ghana, which includes two weeks of service and one week of traveling to cities, castles, and markets

in the area. The second trip offered will be going to Italy, Greece, and Turkey. Additionally, each trip is worth three credits. There are summer scholarships available for both types of programs.Federal financial aid can be applied to the faculty-led summer programs. Full semesters or whole-year abroad

programs are also available. Shannon Ackeret, international program assistant director, can be contacted for more information. Her office is in Borromeo Hall, room 107, or she can be reached by email or phone at sackeret@carroll.edu or 06- 7- 69.

In their yearly rankings, US News and World Report has named Carroll College as the top Regional College in the West. The 201 rankings offer data on nearly 1, 00 schools, including tuition and grad-uation rates. Carroll received this honor for the third year in a row in the Western region, which encompasses states from Alaska to Texas.

“It is gratifying for me to see Carroll College selected as the #1 College in the West for the third year in a row,” said Carroll President, Dr. Thomas Evans. “This recognition highlights the academic excellence found here in Helena, Mont.”

In addition to the number 1 ranking for Best Regional College-West, Carroll is ranked third for Best Value College-West,

and rst in western Regional Colleges' Freshman Retention Rate category, with an 2 percent retention rate. This rank-ing puts Carroll over competitors like Vanguard University of Southern Califor-nia (10), Rocky Mountain College (12), University of Montana-Western (15), and Montana Tech (unranked).

US News and World Report has updated their methodology for 201 to determine which institutions offer the best educational experience. These include tuition, acceptance rates, class sizes, graduation rates, average debt of graduates, and much more. Eligible schools are ranked on up to 16 different indicators of academic excelence, each weighted for importance.

Carroll students participated in the transformation of downtown Helena as it rolled out the red carpet on Sept. 12 for Fashion’s Night Helena, a new event

lled with fancy cocktails, fashion shows, shopping, and VIP experiences.

“People were really enjoying them-selves,” said Allie Reynolds, a junior communications and public relations major at Carroll from Bellingham, Wash. Reynolds helped coordinate the event. Reynolds is the communications and marketing intern for DHI.

Downtown was electric that night. Men and women strolled from business to busi-ness enjoying the royal treatment wher-ever they went. People were everywhere, shopping bags in hand.

“I came downtown to walk around be-cause it was such a nice night, but because of the energy and atmospheres of the stores, I ended up shopping,” said Marcie McCarvel , a senior communications, public relations, and community health

major from Helena. “The atmosphere was very positive and

inviting; businesses were able to show off their stores in a way that had never been seen before,” said McCarvel.

Fashion’s Night Helena transformed the downtown area into a buzzing big city.

“I’ve lived in Helena my whole life, and I was taken aback by the spirit of it,” said McCarvel.

The night was a success for all. There were so many people out, all of the open businesses bene ted from the traf c. Talk of a community fashion show, and a section for food trucks were suggestions for next year.

“It wouldn’t have happened without us selling the event to not only business owners but the people who came. We connected with people on a personal level and got them excited about participating,” explained Reynolds.

DHI issued a special thank you to everyone who made the event such a huge success. “We are so grateful for the op-portunity to bring a new event to Down-town, and the response was so positive we cannot wait to do it again next year,” said Reynolds.

Two members of the Carroll Talking Saints are headed to prison.

Sophomores Koby McInnis of Colorado and Chris McClafferty-Helley of Califor-nia will participate in a debate tournament between inmates at the Oregon State Penitentiary and Northwest debaters on Saturday, October 5.

The tournament, held in World Debate format with four teams competing in each round, will feature four teams from the prison and 12 teams from Northwest colleges.

Organized by Robert Trapp, debate coach at Willamette University, and Jackson Miller, debate coach at Lin eld College, this prison program began last year.

Area debaters visit the prison for eight weeks and train the inmates as debaters, and then the tournament is held at the conclusion of the training sessions.

Feedback from the prison has been positive.

“The prisoners really love this,” said Trapp. “Prisoners consider this one of

the most looked-forward-to events of the year.”

Trapp started this as a way to encourage service by debaters in the community. The project is a win-win for both students and prisoners.

“I think this goes a long way towards helping to humanize prisoners in the eyes of college debaters,” said Trapp.

Carroll coach Brent Northup believes this could prompt a Montana program.

“We are attending to further a good cause,” said Northup. “And we will explore setting up a similar program in Montana after we see how this one is run. College forensics is about learning skills useful in service to others, and this program reminds us that there’s more to debate than winning and losing.”

Schools participating include Willa-mette University, University of Washing-ton-Bothell, George Fox University, Lane Community College, Paci c University, University of Oregon, Lin eld College, Northwest University, Northwest Chris-tian University and Carroll.

Hey Carroll, can we go thrift shopping?

F or you all who don’t know me, or think you do, my name is Kayla Pollard, and I come from the land of

hipsters and sushi, Portland, Ore. I would like to think that coming from a big city has enriched my life with some pretty good music and food tasting skills. A tad about myself, I am majoring in business administration-marketing and management and getting a certi cate in project management. I would say my hob-bies include eating and cooking, music, pretending I can sing, shopping, yoga,

celebrities, the Oregon Ducks, coffee, and talking. Family is always number one and I guess my friends are alright…just kidding, I love them too. So I guess you could call me just your basic chick. I like to be on top of the trends and who is coming out with hits or hot summer tours. This issue is a preview of concerts coming to cities in Montana or Spokane. Future topics will include a new music trend, hit songs, artists, or anything that you guys would like to see in the paper that is about music. Have a request? Write to us or post on our Facebook. If only have $20 in your pocket, take fashion advice from your granddad, as well as liking popping tags, second hand fur coats, same love, dancing, and Ameri-ca, then Thursday, October 2 is the night to sing your little heart out at the Mackle-more and Ryan Lewis concert in Missou-la. Unfortunately, you will most likely not nd a ticket at a thrift store for $20. Now, if you don’t have hundreds of dollars to blow in one night (a.k.a., you missed pre-sale general admission $ 5 tickets), don’t worry friends, there are many more concerts to come. I know what you’re thinking, concerts coming to Montana?! From electric to country, the options seem endless compared to previ-ous years. Check out the list, get a group together, buy your tickets early (prices are usually cheaper), and road trip it to a close town. Get out of Helena and have some fun!

As a fan of thriller TV shows, Breaking Bad has me hanging on every word, crouched into my seat, and sur-rounded by a blanket. I can never nd myself getting bored of the story line or the characters, so it was no surprise this show won an Emmy for Best Drama and Best Supporting Actress. One of the many things that I love about this series is that it is lled with a refreshing and new sense of action that leaves you begging for more. The producer and writer seem to always have at least one character in a corner without any foreseeable way out, which always freaks me out. A local high school chemistry teacher gone rogue, Walter White (Bryan Cran-ston) has lived the past few decades in Albuquerque, NM skating by on a teach-er’s salary and trying to provide for his son, Jr., who suffers from Cerebral Palsy (RJ Mitt), and his pregnant wife (Anna Gunn), who is struggling with an un-successful career as a writer. In real life, actor RJ Mitt deals with his own struggles with Cerebral Palsy; in order to prepare himself for the role of Jr., Mitt actually regressed his therapy and learned to walk on crunches so that he might portray Jr. in a more realistic way. Around the beginning of the series, Walter White is diagnosed with an inop-erable form of lung cancer and needs to begin chemotherapy treatment so that re-mission may remain a possibility. Think-ing of the worst, White’s mind dodges between ideas, hoping to nd a way to safeguard his family’s life post-mortem.

Without any legal options to make enough money within the projected remainder of his life, White prepares for the worst in a rather abnormal way. Walter, as a chemistry teacher, has easy access to chemistry supplies, and he knows that he would not be questioned when buying any amount or combination of chemicals. Due to his seemingly aus-picious position, White begins to ponder the possibility of cooking crystal meth so that his wife could have something to fall back on in rough times. Meth, in its rarest form, is a light ‘sky blue’ color. Not only is it drastically dif-ferent from its street-made counter-parts, but the blue rock is extremely rare. And when it comes down to it, the more pure a drug

the more expensive it is. Time is money, money is time. In search of an “in”, Walter nds a past student of his, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), who is known around town for his dubious lifestyle. Jesse, an addict of the drug at the time, agrees to help as a street connection and a lab aid. In an attempt to separate their dangerous new business and home, they buy an RV with money earned from the rst batch.

Carroll College’s Theatre Department kicks off the year with the production of DePietro & Chiodo’s Clue- The Musical! The musical is a twist on the popular game with some exciting features for actors and audiences alike. The musical brings some of the world's best-known suspects to life and engages the audience to help solve the mystery: who killed Mr. Body, in what room, and with what weapon? Katie Cummings, a senior communica-tions major from Helena, who plays the Detective in Clue, shares her excite-ment for the production: saying her “favorite part will be the different ending for each performance.” Unlike the scripted endings you would expect, Clue’s ending will be based on audi-ence members’ participation. The audience receives forms with their programs to help them deduce the solution from clues given throughout the production. Audience members can expect to play a direct role in the outcome of the performance, a quality unique to a production like Clue. Three audience members will choose from cards representing the potential mur-

Faculty and students packed the art exhibit of Jingdezhen: The Porcelain City on September 11. The art exhibit features beautiful works of porcelain that Professor of Fine Arts Ralph Esposito created and obtained from his trip to China. The gallery is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on week days and is closed on weekends and holidays. The show runs now until October 11, 201 . That night, Esposito entertained the crowd with a slideshow presentation of his adventure in China. Esposito began his presentation by publicly thanking West Virginia University and Carroll College for allowing him to take a sabbatical with a group of students to do work, participate in workshops, eld trips, and lectures. Last fall, Esposito left the familiarity of Helena and Carroll for an extraor-dinary journey for 9 days in China. The journey began ying from Seattle to Los Angeles to Shanghai, a city of 2 million people, far from the humble population of Montana, where the cows out-populate the people. In Shanghai, Esposito rode the Mag Lev Train that moves at 100 to 150 miles per hour. He visited the Shang-hai Museum which he describes as the “Disneyland for a potter.” The muse-um holds some of the best ceramics in the world with some dating back to 100,000 years old. While on a 1 hour night-long train ride to his next destination, Esposito and his students ran into some rodents and low ceilings, something that Amer-icans are very unaccustomed to. He had meals two to three times a day, never packaged or frozen.

“Food was amazing,” said Professor Esposito, “most of the time I had no idea what I was eating, but I ate it ‘cause it was good.” Every Friday night was lecture night and Esposito had the opportunity to present. Throughout his time in China, he vis-ited several porcelain factories, markets, and studios. “Their work ethic is incredible,” said Esposito. “The Chinese don’t fool around.” Art show attendees viewed this rst hand with a few video clips from Esposi-to. One worker at a factory, shown in a clip, painted navy blue asymmetrical stripes within a porcelain bowl, in mere seconds continuing on to her next and next. “The clay is something magical there,” said Esposito. “In America we are taught not to trim when dry.” When he messed up on a handle for a pot, one Chinese master potter suggested wetting it and putting it back in place. Esposito did and was amazed that the clay went back into form. “I really want to go back there,” he expressed. “Chinese mentality is compart-mentalizing work to other people basically because they’re better than you.” Even the Champion Chinese thrower doesn’t nish the entire pot alone. He delegates others to decorate the pot. The mentality of the Chinese is to get very good at something like throwing and do it your whole life. Rather than being a jack-of-all-trades and a master of none. Esposito’s presentation on Jingdezhen: The Porcelain City was not only educa-tional on the subject of ceramics but also a true testament to the spirit of Carroll College. Esposito went on an adventure of a lifetime. He learned from the best porcelain ceramics masters in the world. He bought a 12 speed bike and rode in Chinese traf c in Beijing, an impressive feat in and of itself. Esposito described the traf c as chaos with rules, but no one pays attention.

Jingdezhen: The Porcelain City art exhibit, is all created and obtained from Esposito's travels in China. The gallery is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on week days until October 11.

College students often think, “With such busy weekday schedules it’s hard to slow down for a quick break to have some fun.” If you have ever thought that, you should be ashamed. College is the de nition of fun, or maybe fun is the de nition of college. Regardless, at this time in our lives we should be constantly thinking: “What could I be doing right now to be having more fun?” Spanish Club has the answer for you, at least for Wednesday night, October 2 . Livin’ Latin Lovin’ is a fun, fast social hour sponsored by Carroll’s newest club, Spanish Club. The event will truly embody the de ning characteristics of the club: 'the three Fs:' familia, esta, and fun! You may be thinking, “I won’t go, I don’t speak Spanish.” Approximately .0625% of Carroll speaks uent Spanish. If that were a requirement, it would be the worst social hour in Carroll history. Livin’ Latin Lovin’ is a night of great, quick conversation that allows you to meet other Carroll students who love fun and Mexican refreshments just as much as you do. Spanish Club is planning to provide churros, chips and salsa, and possibly virgin margaritas. Clear your busy schedules for the night of Wednesday, October 2 and come to Livin’ Latin Lovin’. E-mail club President Juan Espinoza if you have any questions or want to get involved: jespinoza@carroll.edu. We’ll see you there!

On Friday October 19, and Saturday, Oc. 20, Carroll College Up ‘til Dawn will be hosting its annual all night event from midnight to 6 a.m. The event will be a celebra-tion of the money raised by Carroll students for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn.

The structure of the fundraising and the all night event are completely different this year, which should make for easier fundraising and even more fun.

Unlike years past, there will be no letter writing. All of the fundraising will be done online and completed before October 19. In order to participate in the all night celebration, students will have had to raise at least $100, an easy feat for anyone who knows 10 emails of family and friends. Students create an online account that people can donate to. Up ‘til Dawn provides templates for donation requests and thank you notes.

Another new addition to the event is that students will raise money in teams of six. Those teams will then compete in various challenges and activities during the all night celebration.

The challenges and activities will not be disclosed to students until the night of the event. Team captains will receive “teaser” texts informing them of where to meet and what to bring. The challenges will take place all over campus. Major challenges will take place at 12 a.m. 2 a.m. a.m., and 6 a.m. There will be many more activities going on between these events.

Awards will be given at the conclusion of the event to individuals and teams who raised the most money and who racked up the most points during the team challenges and activities.

Students can register for this fun- lled fundraising event at stjude.org/utd. Click “Find a School,” search for Carroll College, and begin your registration. If you have any questions or would like more information email uptildawn@carroll.edu or like the Carroll College Up ‘til Dawn Facebook page.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital provides medical care for kids with pedi-atric cancers and housing for their families. Money raised from this helps ensure no family has to pay St. Jude for anything.

If there wasn’t already an abundance of purple, gold, or spirit at Carroll College, there most certainly was the week of September 9-1 th. Why, do you ask, was there a buzz in the air? Why were family members and friends flocking to Helena? Why was Father Marc wearing a bro tank that read “You Only Live Once” on Wednesday? The answer is simple: Homecoming Week 201 had arrived. With Homecoming came all of the traditions that make it great, such as dress-up days, the Homecoming coronation, the football game, mattress races, tailgating, and so much more. Students showed their spirit throughout the week with this year’s dress-up days: Jersey Madness Monday, Pajama Tuesday, Let’s Get Weird Wednesday, Throwback Thursday, and Hawaiian Shirt Friday. On Thursday, students gathered in the Cube to watch which of their nominated classmates were crowned Homecoming Royalty.

After much eager anticipation, it was announced that this year’s Homecoming court consisted of Karson Kukes, a business marketing major from Laurel, Mont. and Brittany Girolami, a biology and pre-med major from Alberta, Canada (freshman), Connor Kane, a biology major from Red Lodge, Mont. and Carlee Norbeck, an accounting major from Butte (sophomores), Juan Espinoza, an international relations and Spanish major

from Pasco, Wash. and Elyse Ramirez, an elementary education major from Helena (juniors). Nick Jenkins, a computer science major from Bellevue, Wash. and Lindsay Sebastian, a health science major from Billings, were crowned Homecoming king and queen. “Of course, the best part of it all was being addressed as ‘your Highness’ or ‘your Majesty’,” related Jenkins. The Fighting Saints took on the Montana Tech Ore Diggers. During the first quarter, Jared Mayernik put Carroll on the board with a 70-yard punt return for a touchdown. Though Tech scored in the third quarter, the Saints finished out the game with a 21-7 finish. With Halftime came the epic battle of the Bed Races. The seniors took the trophy this year. The winning team consisted of Ben Cutler from Kalispell, Mont; Ross Hillier from Jerome, Idaho; Troy Solly from Issaquah, Wash; Marissa Arneson, and Willie Roche from Whitefish, Mont. This year’s Homecoming was definitely one of the best and showed Carroll’s true sense of community.
