Special Olympics hosted by Carroll University

The Special Olympics track meet, April 17, included 4x100 meter relay, long jump, shotput, javelin throw, 1500 meter run, 100 and 200 meter dash, and 4x400 meter relay. Special Olympics Wisconsin (SOWI) is a statewide organization providing persons with cognitive

disabilities year-round sports training and competition. Individuals who are at least eight years old and are identified as having a cognitive disability are eligible for participation. With

seven Area offices throughout the state, Special Olympics Wisconsin serves nearly 10,000 athletes in nearly 189 communities statewide. Sunday’s event was helped in part by student

volunteers, especially athletes from track and football.Photo by Kirk Fishel

Frontier Hall is scheduled to be completed on time for the 2011 – 2012 academic year.

The construction of the newest residence hall on Car-roll’s campus has been worked on diligently by construction workers since the summer of 2010. Since the initial ground breaking, there has been an av-erage of 45 – 55 construction workers working on the building

throughout the weeks.“Everything should be done

on time,” said construction worker Less Phillips. “We want the turnover to happen in mid-July.”

Construction workers have made the most progress on the fourth floor of the building and working their way down to the first floor. This will allow for the upper floors to remain clean as the lower floors are finished.

Mayor, Police Chief dispute over religious book

Mayor Jeff Scrima’s directive that city managers read and then discuss at staff meetings a book by a Christian author prompted a protest this week from Police Chief Russell Jack.

The book was published by a financial contributor to Scri-ma’s campaign. A founder of the book’s publisher, Game Chang-er Books, is Gary Lato of Waukesha. Lato donated $500 to Scri-ma’s mayoral campaign. The Lato Family Foundation, which Lato runs, gave $16,500 to Scrima’s New Day in Waukesha charitable fund for community causes.

The publisher was paid $428.16 in tax money from the may-or’s and council’s budgets for 30 books.

Citing confidentiality ground rules of staff meetings, Jack de-clined to repeat what he said at Tuesday’s managers’ meeting. But others in attendance said he objected to the exercise because of the religious underpinnings and code words in the book. Mayor Jeff Scrima fired back at Police Chief Russell Jack on Monday, calling him hypocritical for objecting to the mayor’s book reading assign-ment as religious-based while at the same time giving a Christian minister tax-supported office space and a city email address in the police department.

City of Brookfield willing to annex nearby territory

The city of Brookfield is “willing to annex the territory with-in the towns” of Brookfield and Waukesha that is currently subject to an incorporation effort, according to a resolution the Common Council unanimously approved Tuesday.

If an incorporation petition is filed in Waukesha County Cir-cuit Court, a copy of the city’s resolution will be forwarded to the court for consideration. The offer creates another option for those who would review the petition.

Aldermen made their decision after about an hour of closed-session discussion.

--MyCommunityNow.comFor the 2010-2011 academ-

ic year, students were given the option to stay at the Ramada Inn but that location will no longer be provided next year. Due to additional housing, like Frontier Hall, the Ramada lease will no be renewed.

Initially the Ramada was ad-vertised, especially to graduate students, to alleviate the growing pains that on-campus options were facing. It was available for roughly $3,900 and amenities included wireless internet and

cable, weekly cleanings by the staff, flat screen TVs, a swim-ming pool, whirlpool and a sau-na. The shuttle was arranged ac-cording to students needs, like class or athletics.

While students may appre-ciate these nicer points of the ho-tel, they aren’t broken up about losing the facilities. Students felt it was too secluded from cam-pus. “I regretted this decision be-cause it was not what I thought it was going to be,” explained sophomore Erin Strigenz.

Ramada residents regret their stayToo far from campus

Construction workers will continue on the next crucial steps for the building’s interior this month. Cabinets start to be put in apartments over the next couple of weeks and the build-ing’s plumbing will be installed thereafter.

The most significant chang-es to Frontier Hall have been the variety of room styles, in-cluding three, four, and five per-son apartments with a myriad of room designs. One of the most sought after rooms in the build-ing is the five person apartment, with one bedroom having three windows optimizing light.

Some of the most signifi-cant changes will be outside of the individual apartments. The kitchens on every floor in Fron-tier Hall will be connected to the study lounges, but will not be in the same room like in Pioneer Hall.

There will also be a sepa-rate open area near the elevator on every floor that has a simi-lar style to the first floor lounge in Pioneer Hall. This will add

more space to the floors and uti-lize the open space on the floors more for students.

Additionally, some more of the most significant changes to Frontier will tend to go unno-ticed by students.

One of these changes is the elevators. While typical eleva-tors have hydraulics to move the elevator up and down, Frontier Hall will just use weights.

“I’m really excited to be one of the first people to live in Fron-tier Hall,” Aimee Ambrose. “I’m pretty excited that I got the last room in Frontier during housing draw.”

The construction of Fron-tier Hall has helped strengthen Carroll’s partnerships with out-side companies.

“We are very pleased with our leasing agreement for Pio-neer Hall and look forward to a continuing leasing collabora-tion with Clysmic Properties for Frontier Hall,” said Ron Lostet-ter, Carroll’s Vice President for Finance in a December press re-lease.

FEATURES

The first “Portal” started out as a game that very few people knew about, but it grew popular. “Portal 2,” the game that has been antici-pated for years now, is finally out and it’s even better than the orig-inal. Everything amazing about “Portal” is amplified in “Portal 2” reflects that and even more.

The graphics of “Portal 2” are far better than the original, which were good to begin with. “Portal 2” also has pre-rendered cinematic cutscenes that are beautiful, funny.

The gameplay, as expected, is fantastic. “Portal” and “Portal 2” use a simple form of gameplay. There is your portal- gun, the envi-ronment and you. Nothing more. With games becoming so congest-ed with gameplay features, these days, the “Portal” series keeps it simple and it works. Even in the co-op mode, the gameplay was simple and great.

The story builds on “Portal” One of the coolest things about “Portal” is that it doesn’t waste any time with any midgame cut- scenes. The entire story is conveyed through the dialogue of GLaDOS and any writing on the walls or random slideshows you might find. In “Portal 2,” it remains the same except there are a few extra charac-ters. The story is amazing and the ending will blow your mind.

EJoshua Foer entered the U.S.

Memory Championship for the sake of science journalism. He just wasn’t expecting to win it.

In “Moonwalking with Ein-stein,” Foer is trying to show his au-dience that anyone can train their memory. He uses himself as a case study. With only one year of train-ing, Foer can memorize the order of a shuffled deck of cards in less than two minutes and the names of 99 strangers he’s just met.

Foer uses techniques that were common in Ancient Greece and during the Renaissance – areas in history where people could not rely on books or cell phones to remem-ber things for them. The “method of loci” places whatever you’re try-ing to remember in a distinctive lo-cation and the objects in that loca-tion are assigned symbols, in order, of what you’re trying to recall. For example, a shopping list of apples, milk, and bread become images of William Tell (apple) eating a bowl (milk) of cereal on my friend’s farm (wheat/bread).

This memory trick depends on good images and good loci – they should border on bizarre and nov-el pictures so we are more likely to remember them. As such, Foer in-cludes a bit of reflection on his own memories and experiences. After all, if our lives are not filled with unique and memorable experiences then the years are easily forgotten.

Rachel Platten’s debut album comes a few months after she signed with Rock Ridge Music.

“Be Here” clocks in at just over 30 minutes, making it a quick listen, but one that leaves a lasting impression.

“Nothing ever happens if you stay in your room/nothing ever happens if you leave the party too soon,” Platten sings. “... So, make a little space/and get out of your own way.”

Through her lyrics, Platten explores topics that everyone must deal with when entering adult-hood. Typically, these songs fo-cus on relationships and the var-ious intricacies that go with them.

“You don’t have to go/stay the night and we’ll take it slow/we don’t have to know how far we’re going,” Platten sings in “You Don’t Have to Go.”

In “Don’t Care What Time It Is,” Platten explores the young adult nightlife singing “we don’t care what time it is … if the DJ keeps on finding hits, we can keep this going for days.”

The album closes with the op-posite, and one final conclusion.

“You’re like that/Yes, you’re like that/yes you need somebody too.”

The album was released April 26.

The 15 year old “Scream” movie series slashes its way back to theatres with the latest install-ment “Scream 4” severing the competition, and slicing its way to number one on the charts of horror films.

“Scream 4” has a similar type of storyline, the same trifecta of actors, and a related style as the past three movies. However, the film takes these conventional norms that the series is known for and turns them upside-down, putting a surprising twist on the classic plot that we love.

The movie follows the return of Sidney Prescott to Woodsboro, where she is promoting her new book about surviving the initial murders in the town. As one can guess, a new Ghostface begins to reenact the Woodsboro murders its 15th anniversary.

While the movie starts with quite the supply of characters, they each are cut with each scene, dwindling the cast down to a small few. This constantly leaves the audience guessing who the ac-tual killer is, all leading up to the jaw-dropping conclusion.

One of the best parts of the film is how it breaks away from the conventional cookie-cutter slasher film. While it still main-tains the “Scream” factor that the series is known for, it puts a mod-ern spin on the classic scary movie.

Seniors reflect on their experiencesWords of wisdom

In many ways college is what I expect-ed it to be; the coursework is challenging and there was much more reading than I was used to in high school. The college ex-perience, however, is much more than ac-ademics. It is about meeting new people and experiencing new things. I didn’t learn this lesson until last year, and I am very grateful that I did.

I came to Carroll in the fall of 2007 with the intention of being an English major. I have always loved reading and an-alyzing literature, so I thought it was the perfect choice for me. I had no idea what I wanted to do with an English major, but I figured I would just worry about that later.

When I stepped into my first Eng-lish 170 class I started to doubt myself and my abilities. Once I realized that col-lege wasn’t insanely impossible and that I wasn’t going to flunk out, I started to en-joy myself more. I met a group of Eng-lish major friends who love talking about Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Oscar Wilde as much as I do.

My twin sister, Lauren was also an English major at Carroll, and this was both a blessing and an annoyance. It was very comforting to know that I always had

“Take chances, make mistakes, get messy.”

at least one person who I could count on, but it was difficult for me to develop my own identity. Lauren is studying abroad in Sicily this semester, and for the first time I am at Carroll without her.

Throughout my four years I was in-volved in various student organizations such as Century Magazine, The New Per-spective, and English Club. My involve-ment in these organizations strengthened my leadership skills, and it was a great way to participate in campus life. Besides all that practical stuff, it was also a lot of fun!

I participated in two NCEPS while at Carroll; these experiences gave me the op-portunity to learn about the art and cul-ture of Italy and France. Traveling is my newfound passion, and I intend to travel regularly for the rest of my life.

The most influential academic experi-ence of my Carroll career was the research project I conducted with Dr. Kristen De-iter, a visiting Assistant Professor of Eng-lish, in the summer of 2009.

I wanted to transfer. After my first semester I thought, this isn’t for me, I had tennis to look for-ward to but I wasn’t sold on Carroll yet. It took a couple of semesters to get it together and suck it up. Then I wanted to transfer again after my sophomore year. I even withdrew

before I went on a campus visit to UW-La Crosse. Fortunately I realized it would be too hard to leave

and graduate somewhat on time if I were to leave. I am glad I didn’t leave. My junior year I helped put Safe Space (LGBTQ sensitivi-ty training) RA training mandato-ry, an accomplishment I can look back on and realize that I have left my mark on Carroll besides

tennis. Now, every fall when Resi-dent Life trains their RA’s they will go through Safe Space training, be-cause of the hard work alumni Jen Jadrich and myself advocated for. Another thing I can look back on it being a part of one of the best men’s tennis teams ever. Last year we broke the record of team wins and this year we are en route to making the conference tournament for the first time in history. College isn’t a piece of cake (though you would think it is with the freshman 15 and all) but I am thankful I stayed at Carroll and stuck it out. I am proud of the things I have accom-plished. Just like Ms. Frizzle says on the Magic School bus, “Take chanc-es, make mistakes, get messy.”

This experience final-ly helped me figure out what I wanted to do with my English major: I decided that I want to go to graduate school and become an English profes-sor. I currently intend to enroll in the Master of Arts pro-gram in Eng-lish at the University of Illinois a t Chicago i n the fall o f 2011.

I remember when I was little, I would celebrate Earth Day in class by coloring flowers, playing in the school garden, and crafting soda bottles into science projects. I’d like to believe that in some small way, this established a green streak for the rest of my life.

Now it’s easy for me to recycle my yogurt containers, reuse my water bottles, buy post-consumer products, and help my grandmother with her compost gardens. I feel that the choice is almost always available for me to go green. Especially now, as a student, I feel that my environment ego is prepared to go the extra mile.

As a student, I can enter the workforce and find a green job – the first time in history that an emphasis has been placed on environmentally savvy positions for all walks of life. I’d like to think that my generation has spurred some of these chang-es. As consumers, we are pretty powerful too – green products have only recently become trendy and I’d like to think that we are a group to be paid attention to.

Now, obviously I cannot pinpoint the place and time that I started reusing grocery bags, installing CFL light bulbs, shop at farmers’ market, and unplugging my appliances when they’re not being used but I’d like to think that these values were instilled through Earth Day initiatives.

Sure, it’s only one holiday, but it creates an awareness of environmental issues and makes environmental solutions more common place. If I can tell that the environment is important to the community around me then I will be just as likely to val-ue it as well.

Anyways, if you want to green up your life you can visit a few of my favorite blogs: The Daily Green, Tree Hugger, Sim-ple Organic, and Keeper of the Home. GOOD Magazine is also a great resource for thought provoking ideas.

Point Counter-Point: Is there a point to Earth Day?Lighter shade of Green A Bit Greener

Farewell Editorial: My time here hasn’t been a total waste

Once Earth Day is gone, the ma-jority of people only have a pass-ing interest in being green. Sus-tainability is just a buzzword to

them. It’s a trend. If I can tell that the environ-ment is important to the com-

munity around me then I will be just as likely to value it as well.

Well this is strange. I am supposed to be writing a fare-

well column. For my last issue. Ever. And even though I’ve been on the newspaper staff for four whole years, I can’t think of a thing to say.

Sure, I’ve got plenty of material. I could tell you that I chose to come to Carroll after a history professor actual-ly talked to me on Campus Day – I was used to getting ignored by UW professors who were too busy to chat with me about Howard Zinn. I could tell you that I was

tricked into joining the student newspa-per through well placed coffee bribes. I could tell you that I met my current and future family and friends during midnight foosball and discussions on sex, God, and politics. I could tell you about the amaz-ing internship that I had which opened doors for me that never existed before.

But that’s not really progressive, is it? I’m too practical for the vague recollec-tions and dewy eyed farewells. So I’ll give you some advice: Get involved.

If you have nothing that ties you to whatever community you’re a part of, then you certainly won’t enjoy it. So cre-ate a sense of identity – a sense of belong-

ing – and make that community better for everyone. If you don’t want anything to do with that community, figure out why and fix it. Do something. Join a stu-dent organization, sing in choir, travel abroad, play sports, volunteer, chat with your professors, or snag a meaningful in-ternship. I really don’t care: Get involved.

We are truly the sum of our experi-ences. If you’re apathetic and have noth-ing to show for your time passed, then you are truly no one to me. Perhaps that is a bit harsh but I think I’ve earned my right to an opinion. This is my four year farewell column, after all.

Strange, that is.

I came to the editorial board of The New Perspective late in my Carroll ex-perience. It is one of my greatest regrets from my time as a student. I was never as involved with the paper as I could have been. In many ways that is the story of my time here. I didn’t take advantage of all the things Carroll offers. My advice to my fellow students is to take advantage of all the opportunities that are here.

My time here hasn’t been a total waste. I’ve made great friends through the golf team, the newspaper, and swimming. I’ve also come to push my self a great deal more academically. I would like to thank

several professors for everything they did for me. First, Dr. Lilly Goren for being a great source on matters of school gov-ernance, but also for helping me develop my interest in politics. Dr. Joe Dailey for being my advisor and guiding me through the grad school process. Ben Poston and Dave Wallach for pushing my boundar-ies in journalism classes. Thanks to them, I have found a career path to pursue even in turbulent times.

I also want to thank any one who has ever been a source for me. Those people made my learning possible.

I want to thank my fellow members of the editorial board for welcoming me during my final semester.

Finally, there is one professor I haven’t thanked yet. Dr. Kevin Guilfoy has been responsible for developing my ability to think much more critically about deep topics.

To all students, stop procrastinating and take advantage of all the opportuni-ties Carroll has to offer.

Consider this tid bit. The entire Wikipedia project took 100 million man hours. Americans spend 200 billion hours a year watching TV. What can be done with all that time?

On that note, I will stop writing for The New Perspective and go finish my Capstone.

Farewell Editorial: We are the sum of our experiences... get involved!

Every year students around the country engage in Earth Day activities. Planting trees and picking up garbage are clas-sics.

Once Earth Day is gone, the majority of people only have a passing interest in being green. Sustainability is just a buzz-word to them. It’s a trend.

Speaking in general terms, there are a lot of young peo-ple who go green because it seems to be the fashionable thing to do. Are there people out there who are actually committed to the cause? Yes, there definitely are people committed to the cause. However, it seems there are a great number of people

who have gone green because the reusable shopping bags are “cute.” Did you get that Nalgene bottle because it’s good for the environment or because everyone else has one?

If most people are only being green when it is convenient, then what should those who are committed do about it? The best thing is to continue pushing the green trend as much as possible, but not in an overly aggressive manner. Those who are apathetic about being green are likely as green as they will be. Pushing to hard will only make those who are committed look crazy.

If everyone were to commit to living a green and ethi-cal life style, we would all be driving electric cars, drinking only fair trade coffee, and eating free-range chicken. Since we are not, it is clear we are not as committed to being green as we think. We have come a long way since Wisconsin Senator Gaylor Nelson founded Earth Day. However, how many peo-ple even knew he was the founder? Not many. We can all pick up trash and plant some trees and that is great for the world, but let’s not let ourselves think we have all become green, there is a long way to go.

An RBI in the top of the second inning gave the Pioneer baseball team a temporary lead over Division I opponent UW-Milwaukee.

Joe Klobukowski tripled to start the inning. Two at-bats lat-er, Tyler Warner grounded to second baseman Cole Kraft who chose to get the out at first and surrender the RBI.

The Panthers scored twice

After extending their win-ning streak to eight games, the Carroll University softball team is currently one game out of a potential Midwest Conference Tournament berth.

With wins in their final two games of the Midwest Con-ference Classic, the Lady Pio-neers ended a two-game skid, and quickly started one the oth-er way.

Christine Roggeman and Kristy Johnson combined to shut out the Alverno College In-ferno.

Hannah Sanidas three-run homerun led the Lady Pioneers to a 7-0 victory to extend the steak to three.

Alverno scored two runs in the nightcap to take an ear-ly lead, but ultimately suffered a 10-2 loss in a five-inning game.

The Lady Pioneers had a sec-ond game shorted by the slaugh-ter rule when they beat Lakeland College 12-2. Roggeman threw a complete game for her fifth win of the season.

The second game of the doubleheader against Lakeland saw Carroll take an early 4-0 lead after two innings. The Muskies tied the game up in the sixth in-

A win against Ripon Col-lege April 27 will secure the first Midwest Conference Champi-onship appearance for Carroll University’s men’s tennis team.

The Pioneers took a 6-3 win over the Lawrence University Vi-kings. Lawrence claimed two of the top three singles flights, but all three required a third set. Carroll claimed the bottom three flights and two doubles flights to secure the win.

Matt Joost led the Pioneers to a 9-0 win over Wisconsin Lu-theran College, beating Mike Reimer 6-0, 6-0. A lack of play-ers forced Wisconsin Luther-an to drop the bottom flight for both singles and doubles.

Carroll claimed their fifteenth victory of the season with a 9-0 forfeit victory over Beloit College.

The Pioneers take on Ripon’s Red Hawks April 27. A victory would guarantee them a spot in the Midwest Conference Tourna-ment. So far, Ripon is 1-9 overall, 1-1 in Midwest Conference play.

The regular season will end with a matchup against St. Nor-bert College. The winner of that match will likely be the Midwest Conference North Division.

For the third straight week, the Midwest Conference Per-former of the Week for men’s golf has gone to a Carroll Uni-versity student-athlete.

Sam Luedtke claimed the first award of the season followed

by Eric Busalacchi for the second week.

After shooting a 73 in Car-roll’s own meet, Luedtke re-claimed the award.

Carroll claimed second place out of the eight team field. Four Carroll golfers placed in the top 20 individually.
