CARROLL UNIVERSITY DECEMBER 6, 2011

Carroll University will start adding a $30 charge to student accounts every semester starting this January to help fund Cross-Cultural Experience (CCE) as part of the new general educa-tion.

The idea stemmed from the desire for students to be able to apply for funds to help subsidize the cost of their CCEs. With study abroad, NCEPs, and oth-er options available to complete this requirement, students have voiced concerns about foreseen troubles over paying for these experiences. The concept of a campus wide charge on student accounts of $30 each semester for each student that would go into one large fund that students can apply for was decided upon for implementation in 2012.

Dr. Theresa Barry, Dean of Students, approached the Car-roll University Student Sen-

ate about this issue in April of this year. Student Senate sub-sequently passed Resolution SS005 stating Therefore the Carroll University Student Sen-ate does not support the increase in tuition costs from this finan-cial support fund unless the Car-roll University administration provides equally matched funds for the total monetary amount charged to tuition from all un-dergraduate students.

The resolution that was passed last year was the view of the student body that Senate dil-igently represents at all times, said Luke Bennewitz, Student Senate President. If the stu-dents will be paying an addition-al charge, it makes sense that the university contributes an equal share to the fund and Senate ex-pressed it as such.

Carroll has commissioned a group called the Cross-Cultur-al Experience Scholarship Task Force, comprised of student rep-

resentatives from Student Sen-ate, faculty, and staff members, to decide on an application pro-cess and how the funds will be distributed to students who ap-ply.

Its the institutions process to continue to recognize the im-portance of CCEs, said Kathy Hammett, Director of Interna-tional Education and member of the task force. The CCEs are such an important and valuable experience for all students and what it can do for a student in their future.

Hammett understands the importance of financial support to students going on a CCE.

Having CCEs has been seen as an essential component to the students education, said Hammett. Dont let perceived barriers stop you.

The Human Resources Di-rector Barb Christus has an-nounced her retirement after a 20-year employment at Carroll University.

A Carroll graduate, Chris-tus majored in Criminal Justice with a minor in Accounting, fin-ishing her degree in two and a half years. After her graduation, Christus gained experience in payroll, accounting, and human resources before coming back to Carroll to work in the Business Office as an accountant and then Director of Human Resources in 1996.

In 1998, Christus began to expand the function of Human Resources and grow the Depart-ment. By hiring more positions to the Department over the next few years, Christus and her fel-low colleagues were able to in-crease the functionality of Hu-man Resources on campus.

Christus reflects on her time working in Human Resources and how she and her colleagues were able to develop the Depart-ment, building it from a two per-son to a five person department in a short amount of time with additional support from upper levels of the administration.

I think Ive done what I can, said Christus. Its time for someone to expand on what we have created.

The past two years have been tough on the Department, according to Christus. Members of the staff left and a cowork-er passed away, but the Depart-ment has still been able to grow.

With a rich history at Car-roll, Christus understands her connection to the university.

I enjoyed working here a lot and I have always been very proud to work at Carroll, said Christus. Its a sense of pride and its been great to see how Carroll University has grown.

In light of Carroll University guidelines restricting freshmen from having cars on campus, Carroll has established a pro-gram that could provide those cars some freshmen may be miss-ing. Not 700 cars to match the number of this years incoming freshmen. But two.

Carroll has established the U-Haul Car Share Program to provide students with anoth-er transportation option besides walking, said Nate Schwarzbach, campus brand manager. He said this transportation includes ex-cursions to grocery stores and even joyrides.

Carroll has a Toyota Pri-us and a Scion Xb on campus, Schwarzbach said. Carroll stu-dents can apply for the program and reserve one of the cars after they are approved.

A potential applicant for the U-Haul Car Share Program needs a drivers license and must fulfill the programs basic re-quirements which are outlined on the programs website, ucar-share.com, according to ucar-share.com. Once theyre ap-proved, applicants will receive an email letting them know they can start using the programs cars, the website said. The ap-plicant must also set up an ac-count on ucarshare.com in order to start reserving vehicles.

The U-Haul Car Share Pro-gram lets its users choose from three pay plans: Pay As U Go, U Go 50, U Go 125. Each plan provides insurance, roadside as-sistance, and gas without charge to users.

With the Pay As U Go plan, Carroll students and faculty rates start at $4.95 per hour and in-crease by $.49 per mile, accord-ing to uhaulcarshare.com. Once the charge reaches the capped hourly rate, the charge is free, according to the website. The Prius capped hourly rate is $9 per hour, and the Scions capped rate is $8.50 per hour, the web-site said.

With U Go 50, users get 10 percent off all reservations by

paying $50 ahead every month. With U Go 125, users get

15 percent off all reservations by paying $125 ahead per month.

Carpooling is a great alter-native when it comes to saving gas and money, Schwarzbach said.

Schwarzbach wants to ex-tend marketing the car share program from students to cam-pus organizations, he said. Or-ganization and faculty members can have their organizations and departments reimburse them for using the cars, suggested Schwar-zbach.

Both of the vehicles avail-able on campus are fuel efficient, Schwarzback said. The website touts that U-Haul Car Share ve-

hicles reduce most users carbon footprint by 40 percent.

Carrolls U-Haul Car Share vehicles are available all day, ev-ery day as long as another stu-dent or faculty member is not al-ready using them, Schwarzbach said.

On uhaulcarshare.com, Nikolas J. commented that [The prius] drives very nice and it is fully high tech! September 27th this year. He gave the car a five star rating.

Nathan K. gave the Prius a four star rating with no com-ment Oct. 10th this year, ac-cording to uhaulcarshare.com. He gave the Scion five stars with no comment October 24th this year.

I am not much for vampires, werewolves, and melodramatic teen-age drama, but I have to admit: Breaking Dawn: Part 1 proved to be an alright movie as a whole.

I simply like going to the see the sagas movies because I can enjoy the time with my friends. However, this film actually had me paying atten-tion rather than laughing whenever a vampire sparkled in the sunlight.

Breaking Dawn is a slight step above the rest. All of the three main characters fell victim to this at some point in the movie.

There were moments of deep emotion and suspense that had me sitting on the edge of my seat. But these moments of stride was over-shadowed by the movies stumbles. Too many characters and sub-plots distracted from the moments that the movie shined through.

After the series has its final cur-tain call, I hope that we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief that a story about a females earth shatter-ing struggle to decide between two attractive males will finally be done.

Touted as The origin of the se-ries, Nintendos Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, has been released. The initial premise of the game was to take the classic Zelda formula of solve puzzles, find the sword, save the princess and save Hyrule and change it to something fresh and new. And theyve done a good job.

As with every Zelda game since Wind Wakers release, there has been controversy over the graph-ics. Skyward Sword combines the refined cel shading of Wind Wak-er with water colored backgrounds and the more adult look of Twi-light Princess. But it flows togeth-er perfectly to create a game that, like Wind Waker, will not have its graphics age, as most modern games tend to do.

Usually, Zelda and Link meet when the game is half-way through, but in Skyward Sword theyre childhood friends, and class-mates. Your main means of trans-port is also usually acquired halfway through, but Skyward Sword pro-vides it within the first hour.

In anticipation of The Hunger Games movie set to release in March 2012, I decided to read the original novel.

The book was overall a good read. The story is set sometime in the future; a future that looks grim for most people. The world is sepa-rated into districts, one of which, the Capital, is overly lush and luxurious. The rest of the districts are very poor and they go down in number by so-cioeconomic status.

Two children, between the ages of 12 and 18 are picked to represent their district in the Hunger Games.

The Hunger Games entail dropping the children into the arena and fight to the death. The last child alive wins a life of luxury for a year along with a better life for their dis-trict. The games are broadcasted live to all the districts to watch.

Katniss, the main character of the story, makes a bold and dar-ing move and volunteers her life to spare her sister, who was choosen to compete in the games, despite how it might affect her family.

The release of Nickelbacks Here and Now came with mixed reviews, as the standard typically goes for Nickel-back albums.

Hit-or-miss, the album has a few distinguishing songs, specifically the lead single When We Stand Togeth-er.

Even if youre not a Nickelback fan, its hard not to like this song. Its defi-nitely another one of the bands stabs at deeper lyrics in their songs, like Gotta Be Somebody or Never Again. Ulti-mately, the song is catchy and easy to listen to. There are inspirational parts to it, but its not memorable.

By far, my favorite track on the album is This Means War, the first song. Its one of the hardest tracks the album has to offer, and it pays off.

Unfortunately, most people will probably judge this based on it being a Nickelback album and either get it or not get it.

If youre a Nickelback fan, this al-bum is definitely worth your invest-ment. As with most bands, Nickelback is evolving in terms of lyrics and mu-sical style.

Christmas is just around the corner, and that means eggnog, carols and hideous Christmas sweaters.

We have all seen them: gi-ant reindeer with noses that light up, bells stitched into fabric, kit-tens wearing Santa hats. I shud-der even thinking about it. But

do not fear: cute sweaters are here! This holiday season, give adorable sweaters and retire your grandmas snowman garb.

Long, cozy sweaters are back, and I could not be happier. Oversized sweaters are so comfy for curling up by a fire or cozy-ing up to your sweetie under the mistletoe. Because the top part of your body will hidden under a lot of fabric, wear a tight skinny

jean or legging under. Jeggings are perfect for oversized sweaters.

A small leg balances a large top. These sweaters are made to be big and typically are not sized. Do not go out and buy a normal sweater, just three times bigger than your size. It will not look the same. If you want to try this look, specifically find an over-sized sweater.

Next, I have been seeing

many sweaters with an image as the center. A sweater with a big heart printed on it is adorable and really great for small-busted girls. Trust me. If you want to stay with a winter theme, many sweaters have moose or reindeer stitched into a pattern. These are woodsy and not too overbearing.

To find sweaters, I suggest wanelo.com. It is the perfect shopping site for clothes and ac-

cessories, and I think the sweat-ers they list are fantastic.

As Christmas approaches, and especially winter break, I think everyone wants to be warm and cozy. Oversized sweaters are better than any ugly Christ-mas sweater, and if you must get something with an image, stay simple. These sweaters make great gifts. And hey, maybe you can pick one up for yourself too!

As everyone begins the an-nual struggle to write the new year rather than the old, the Car-roll University track team will begin there 2012 season.

The teams will official-ly start practice Jan. 3 and will compete in their first meet Jan. 14 at Carthage College for the Private College championships. They will return to Carthage Jan. 27 for the Carthage College Invitational.

In 2011, both teams fin-ished in the top half of the rank-ings with the men taking fourth and the women taking third.

Lindsay Gruenke, then a ju-nior, took home All-American honors after taking 6th, running a 57.31, in the 400 meter dash at the NCAA Division III Nation-al Championships. She also took All-American honors in 2009 by clocking a 57.73 to take seventh. She holds the school record for the 400 meter dash with a 57.28.

Also returning for the wom-ens team is Megan OGrady who, in 2009, took fifth in the 5,000 meter run with a school record time of 17:05.

On the mens side, Alex Marchillo returns after winning two events in the 2011 Midwest Conference Championships, as well as two second place finish-es. Marchillo claimed first in the 55 meter hurdles and was part of the winning 4x400 meter relay team. He placed second in the 400 meter dash and the 4x200 meter relay team.

The men will also have L.J. Hyland, who competed with the 4x400 meter relay team in the 2009 National Championships that took second, missing a fist place finish by less than a sec-ond.

The teams will have five meets before the Midwest Con-ference championships sched-uled for Feb. 24-25. The Nation-al Championships are scheduled for March 9 and 10.

With an overall record of 2-2, the Pioneer mens basketball team is headed in the right direc-tion early in the season. The Pi-oneers scored two solid wins, the first against Marian College with a score of 88-65.

Carroll held the upper hand in both the first and second halves of the game against Mar-ian.

The second game against Knox College was a close win with a score of 68-61. Andrew Nottling, a sophomore on the team, said that since they had a game against Lake Forest Col-lege the night before, the team had a quick turnaround playing the next day so they did not have much time to look at everything they had on the opposing team.

Having the advantage with both first and second half be-ing, Carroll had no troubles with putting the ball in the net more than Knox College.

Our strengths as a team were just that of teamwork and trusting different players that were in during the game to just do their jobs, said Nottling, Also, I feel that we played with a purpose and focused a lot on just being a solid team.

The team possesses the work of what Nottling said, with the overall effect of teamwork and trust, it shows within the wins the team has had.

They were successful up to the last few seconds of the game scoring points by free throws shot by Kevin Hurd.

For the upcoming game against Ripon College at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 7, Nottlings mindset is going to be relaxed and solid.

Our team and our mindset is to just play our game and to respect Ripon but still feel that we will win the game. We are just looking to play solid on all ends of the floor and keep our streak alive.

The Lady Pioneers basket-ball team had some tough losses this past weekend but their sea-son is still at the start.

Lake Forest College won 61-57 and the next night Knox Col-lege took an 83-78 decision.

We dont want to dwell on this past weekend because all we

can do is get better and come ready to play Ripon, said

0r. With the two losses there is

something that came out of the Knox game. Janelle Groer, a se-nior on the team, became the 12th player in Carroll womens basketball history to record 500

career rebounds. The womens team is look-

ing forward to the game against Ripon College on Dec. 7 at 5:30 p.m.

Working on really shutting down the other team with their defense and out-rebounding them is one of the many strate-
