Debora Coombs, a nationally renowned stained glass artist, is pouring her time into making the new chapel a beautiful and spiritually moving place.

“How do you create a visual of a mys-tery, or something that could suggest a mystery?” Coombs said to herself, trying to explain her project.

Coombs is working on three main stained glass windows that will be in the chapel. She is especially fond of one window that will be in the Holy Spirit prayer chapel on the west side of the building. Here, she plans on featuring a two-dimensional design that will reflect a five-dimensional reality. This particular pattern is known as Penrose tiling, and it is a pattern that continues indefinitely without ever repeating itself.

While the design itself may be difficult to comprehend, Coombs has a number of drawings strewn across her desk and end-less inspirations about what the window might look like.

“It’s almost like pure potential,” Coombs said. “You could create anything from it.”

At first, Coombs was hesitant to work with Carroll. The Reverend Marc Lenneman was similarly hesitant in deciding what kind of art would adorn the chapel walls. However, after one conver-sation, the two realized that Coombs’ de-sign was exactly what the school needed.

“She said, ‘It’s like trying to express beauty through multiple dimensions,’ and Father responded, 'that’s exactly like our faith'” said campus minister Dan Thies, recalling their conversation. “Even though they didn’t know what it was going to be, there was this exciting hope about what art and beauty should be that propelled them.”

Coombs is optimistic about the project and looks forward to working with the college. The window in the Holy Spirit side chapel, in particular, is important to her as it holds the complex Penrose design. She has been experimenting with it for three or four years. Coombs agreed with Lenneman's proclamation that the mystery, complexity, and structure of her

design was metaphorically perfect for the space Lenneman had in mind.

“The Holy Spirit is something you cannot grasp or understand, but it’s some-thing all around you,” Coombs said.

As she got more invested in adapting her design, and in creating the other win-dows, Coombs decided to extend her one week visit. It was important to her to visit with more students and invest more time into planning the project, so she spent an extra week on campus.

Many students got the opportunity to visit with her.

“She’s not Catholic, but she knows her stuff, so she can portray it correctly,” said Sarah Ladd, a senior health science major from Pendleton, Oregon. “She had done

so much background on her own to try and understand this world.”

Students quickly discovered just how invested Coombs was in the Carroll proj-ect. Both Ladd and Alex Broyles, a senior biology major from Yakima, Washington, remarked that it was incredible to hear about the various subjects she seemed to be comfortable in.

Although Coombs was articulate in conversations of a number of disciplines, she was also approachable and excited to share her work. She comfortably car-ried on conversation with everyone who visited her, even challenging students in their own disciplines, no matter what they were.

“A lot of time when you think of artist

you think of abstract,” said Broyles. “But she’s very interested in bringing art, sci-ence, and nature together.”

Coombs was not limited to the dimen-sions of the project; she was inspired by them. The window she has been focusing on is not meant to revolve around the equation. In fact, Coombs is not sure what to make of the potential her design holds. She is planning something beautiful and never seen before.

“The goal of this particular chapel is to create a space where the focus would be on the blessed sacrament, and someone could go and experience something beau-tiful” Coombs said.

“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”

Wise words from Winston Churchill. Priceless and true words, too.

We recently attended the junior/senior banquet, as the story on the back shows. One undeniable thing can be taken from the event: Carroll is an incredible place.

Surrounded by good food, music, priz-es, and friends that have been through the best and the worst times through at least the last three years, it's difficult not to feel blessed. We certainly did.

So, what does this have to do with Churchill’s famous words? Great schools, like Carroll, are great because of their knack for the continuation of improve-

ment. Service can always provide an avenue.

With Carroll’s recent opening of the Hunthausen Activity Center, it seems to be the perfect time to reflect on the impor-tance of service. Archbishop Raymond G. Hunthausen, former student and president of our college, spent his lifetime advocat-ing for the pricelessness of giving.

We ask you, fellow Carroll students: how have you served of late?

It’s an incredible busy time in our lives. That is indisputable. Churchill noted, in the first section of his quote, that we still need to make a living. That is an import-ant distinction in the act of service—it doesn’t require one to completely revamp

his/her life. Instead, it just compels selflessness.

Even in small doses, or at seemingly random times, putting others ahead of you can provide an incredible feeling of fulfillment. It’s how we “make a life,” as Churchill reasons.

Service is a way of reaching out to oth-ers we might not otherwise reach, both in whom we serve and whom we serve with. Whether it be through spring cleaning your room or house with your roommates or participating in a Service Saturday sponsored by the Hunthausen Center, the opportunities of people to meet are endless.

Many of the friendships we have made

at Carroll have come through countless service opportunities and provide us rea-sons to be blessed and connected together.

As Churchill stated, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give," so go give yourselves in service our fellow Saints and in thus, you will find yourself more blessed than where you began.

Carroll College’s anthrozoology program started the 2016-2017 academic year with 22 dogs available for adoption. Currently, only six dogs have been offi-cially adopted.

Each year, juniors in the program enroll in the Canine Training and Advanced Ca-nine Training courses that requires most students to foster a dog from a shelter and train them. The end goal of the program is to adopt out the dog to a working home or as a pet to a family.

The program dogs who are available know their basic obedience skills, such as sit, stay, down, wait, and leave it.

Anna, a yellow lab, trained by a junior anthrozoology major from Aurora, Colo-rado will soon head to Troy, Montana, to work as a therapy dog in a high school. Cassidy, a chocolate lab, trained by Jeane Stafford, a junior anthrozoology major from Molalla, Oregon, will stay on the Carroll campus as an emotional support animal for a student. Boston, a German shepherd mix, will stay on the Carroll campus as well and serve as a pilot dog for a class that combines ecology, biology, and anthrozoology by sniffing out inva-sive weed species this summer.

Cookie, an Australian shepherd mix, has been adopted by a local Helena resident and will spend time with her new brother and best friend Rusty. Turlock, a German shepherd-Husky mix, has also been adopted by a local Helena family where he will also spend his days play-ing with his new brother, Jake. Dove, the Great Pyrenees, will go to a working home in Helena where she will be aiding a person who has a disability.

Student trainers have the option of

deciding what to train their dogs for--whether it is for service work or scent work. Scent work for the dogs can include searching for invasive species, ammuni-tion, contraband, and blood sugar levels. Bonnie, a Vizsla mix, is being trained as a diabetic alert dog by Ali Becker, junior anthrozoology major from Redmond, Washington. Bonnie has been matched with a current Carroll student who has diabetes. Becker has been training Bonnie on the scent of the student’s blood sugar levels.

Liza, a German shepherd – cattle dog cross, is being trained for scent work by her student handler Bridget Bloesch, a junior anthrozoology major from Vacav-ille, California. Liza is currently trained on clove scent and ammunition and has worked up to longer hides with Bloesch. Liza is still available for adoption through the program.

“I decided to do scent training because Liza really enjoyed using her nose to find things and self-reward,” said Bloesch. “The perfect home for Liza would be one where she can be active and love life! She has a lot of energy to burn and because of that she isn’t an apartment dog. Three 10 minute walks a day will not be suffice for her.”

Skyler Howard, a junior psychology and anthrozoology minor from Vashon Island, Washington, has been training Stella, a border collie mix, since August with a particular emphasis on scent work.

“Stella has always been eager to learn and will do almost anything for food,” said Howard. “The ideal home for Stella would be an active family who has time to challenge her both physically and men-tally. She would be happy with another dog, but would chase cats and other small animals. She would do best in a home with older children who are comfortable

around dogs.” Dally, an Australian shepherd mix, is

one of the program’s most energetic dogs. Casey Kahler, a junior anthrozoology and biology major from Empire, Michigan has been working with Dally on her leash reactivity to other dogs.

“Her reactivity makes our day-to-day life challenging at times, but she is sure to bring her new forever home countless laughs and memories,” said Kahler. “She has a great personality and some funny quirks, but her reactivity is not something to be taken lightly. Those who are looking at being her forever home need to think if [her reactivity] is something that they want to handle.”

Each program dog available for adop-tion has a Facebook page that is run by their student trainer. The Carroll College Anthrozoology Adoptable Dogs web page also includes a bio about each of the dogs.

Those who are interested in adopting a program dog should contact the handler for more information and pictures.

“The anthrozoology program is a great way to gain hands-on experience working and living with dogs,” said Kahler. “This

program has taught me not only more about dog training but has also helped me grow and learn more about myself as well.”

Saints for Life hosts 40 Days for Life event Senior Grateful Saints Campaign wrap upCarroll’s Saints for Life club kicked off

their 40 Days for Life event on Feb. 28. Students gathered in the lower campus center to hear sophomore nursing major, Monica Suek, speak about the cause.

“The kickoff event was amazing because the community came together with the mutual goal of promoting life,” said Savanna Sigl, a senior nursing major from Fair Oaks, California. “It was a very hopeful and joyful gathering filled with prayer and fellowship. From college students, to professors, to families in the community, we all came together in unity.”

The 40 Days for Life event is an inter-national event that brings people together through prayer and call to action.

“The power of prayer is what this whole mission is centered around,” Sigl said. “The goal is to pray for an end to abortion, for the lives that have been tak-en as a result of abortion, and for healing after abortion.”

In addition to adding 40 Days for Life to personal prayers, people are invited to sign up for time slots to pray outside Planned Parenthood in Helena.

“Prayer is a great way to think about those who are struggling with making a decision about life,” said Marko Prizmic, a sophomore business and theology major from Aurora, Colorado. He is the club's vice president.

The Saints for Life club invites anyone to participate, and offers some opportuni-ties for people to take action in addition to prayer. Local organizations like the Friendship Center, Florence Crittenton, the YWCA, and Option’s Clinic can use support.

“Saints for Life is a club on campus that works to ensure the dignity of the whole

person, from conception to natural death,” Prizmic said. “Our mission is centered on love and we believe that every life deserves a lifetime.”

Both Sigl and Prizmic agree that being part of a Catholic campus impacts the formation and enthusiasm in the cause.

“Being Catholic means holding a consistent life ethic, which means all life from conception has dignity and value and should be treated as such,” Prizmic said. “This means the unborn and the immigrant. This means the refugee and the single mother. As a Catholic campus, we must work to recognize that dignity for all.”

Sigl concurs, adding that both Catholic Social Teaching and Carroll’s mission strive to promote and protect life in every form. Her involvement in 40 Days for Life stems from personal and family background.

“I'm passionate about this cause be-cause my mom was adopted,” Sigl said. “I would not be here if my biological

grandmother would have chosen abortion over adoption. I believe that other options should be available than denying the right to life to the most vulnerable and voice-less population among us.”

The pro-life community is centered on showing dignity for all human life, not just ending abortion.

“This fight isn’t just for the unborn, rather, it is for the women who have felt lost, alone, and broken," Prizmic said. “They deserve love, support, and kind-ness. This is the central mission of Saints for Life and the pro-life movement: love for all.”

Beginning March 1, the first day of Lent, and ending April 9, 40 Days for Life is bringing people together in prayer to protect and promote human life.

“These 40 days are peaceful, prayerful, and hopeful,” Sigl concluded. “The cause is centered around God and his loving message. Jesus came that we might have life and have it to the full (John 10:10).”

Hey Carroll seniors! Great job this year in raising money for the 2017 Senior Grateful Saints Campaign! A total of 30% of our class donated to the campaign and we raised more than $2,000. This money will go towards student scholarships, as well as all the different departments and outlets you all designated. This campaign not only raises money that goes towards meaningful ends, but it also demonstrates the commitment our seniors have to their college.

Upon graduation, every senior will receive a brick, inscribed with his or her name, which will be incorporated into the alumni walk. The space reflects the crucial role our alumni play in the foundation and continued success of our school. Carroll alumni give back to Carroll in innumera-ble ways, from providing financial dona-tions to internship and job opportunities for current Carroll students. Carroll would not be the wonderful institution it is today without all of this support.

Seniors, if you missed the original deadline for donations, don’t worry. The campaign is accepting donations up until graduation. Anyone who gives between now and May 10th will receive a key chain to wear on their graduation robes. While 30% class participation is incred-ible, let’s see if we can reach the cam-paign’s goal of 50%! The recommended donation for seniors this year is $20.17, but every amount we receive goes towards great things.

On Wednesday, March 1 Trinity Hall lounge filled with both the Carroll and Helena community to listen to a talk on immigration issues titled, “Nobody is Illegal." The discussion was one of many events held for the Carroll community that highlighted current events shaping the United States and the world.

Organized by Alex Street, a Carroll political science professor, Carroll English professor Soumitree Gupta, and former Carroll history professor Bob Swartout, the discussion focused on the term “ille-gal.”

“The term illegal is misleading in many ways,” said Street.

The United States Constitution has no definition of citizenship. Focusing primarily on America’s history of immi-gration, Street mentioned that, as indi-viduals, we have actively criminalized people throughout country. To drive home his point, Street discussed bills passed at a federal level that banned entire groups of people, such as the Chinese Exclusion

Act. Gupta noted how the repetitive use

of the term "illegal" in our society has labeled immigrants as criminals. Words matter. As a society we are being desensi-tized to what “illegal” really means. Con-firmed by Street, 45 percent of “illegal” Latino immigrants actually came here with a work visa that has since expired. In actuality, that is a civil offense, not a criminal offense.

Swartout focused on immigrants in Montana in the early years of being a ter-ritory and statehood. He pointed out that 39 percent of Montana’s population was immigrants officially.

“Montana is the perfect example of a melting pot, or the more preferred term: pressure cooker,” said Swartout. “Bad legislation dehumanized the immigrant population and increasingly worsened.”

Gupta closed with the idea that with the continuous use of the word “illegal” we are simply denying immigrants their basic humanity. In the end, people are all people.

“Race is a social construction, not bio-logical,” said Street.

Andrew Rivas, the director of govern-ment and community relations for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, spoke to a diverse crowd about immigration and the Catholic Church on March 13.

The presentation was well attended by Carroll students, professors, and several community members.

“I appreciated that the community came to the lecture, because they shared a different perspective on immigration than students had,” said Kelly Taft, a junior history major from Seattle, who attended the lecture.

Taft went on to praise the timely and welcoming speech on immigration policy.

“I think the talks are super beneficial at this time in American history," Taft said. "Having an academic or lawyer or diplomat share his/her thoughts on current issues helps us, as students, make in-formed opinions on the world.”

Rivas started by discussing the track record of the United States when it comes to immigration. This trip down mem-

ory lane highlighted some especially cringe-worthy events, such as the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.

“Or my personal favorite, there was the Anti-Catholic Party in the 1950s,” Rivas said.

Rivas went on to state that the Church’s stance on immigration revolves around the core belief that all people have an innate dignity, and the right to strive for a better life for themselves and their families. He also stressed the urgent need for constructive dialogue on the subject of immigration reform, as our current system is failing.

Rivas acknowledged the fact that both sides of the debate over immigration do have merit, but stated that currently, pro-ductive dialogue is not happening.

This presentation was one in a series by the Hunthausen Center for Peace and Justice, all related to the issue of immi-gration.

More information on pending speech-es or events can be found on the Carroll website.

Nobody is illegal and other ideas about immigration

Nursing students host Africa Medical Mission

Recently, Carroll senior nursing stu-dents, who were inducted into the Sigma Theta Tau International nursing honor society, worked to gather supplies to offer support for an Africa Medical Mission being organized by the New Hope Inter-national hospital (NHIH).

The mission of NHIH is a "restoration of health through the commitment of providing healthcare to persons with illness or injury through medical services,

education, and spiritual support." On May 17, NHIH will be traveling to Tanzania to spend three weeks working and providing health care to several villages throughout the Sakila, Tanzania area. Their team will include physicians, nurse practitioners, a dentist and dental hygienist, physical ther-apist and other support staff. This team will set up traveling clinics in churches of the Sakila area to offer services to the area residents.

While Carroll's nursing students will not be attending this trip, they still par-ticipated by collecting supplies to send to

NHIH. As members of Sigma Theta Tau, Carroll' nursing students are committed to improving the health of people in the world. Currently, 20 of Carroll's nursing students belong to this nursing honor society. One student was aware of the upcoming mission trip of NHIH and sug-gested that it would be a great community service project for Carroll to participate in. Among the supplies they gathered were baby clothes, basic toiletries, and hand towels.

Donations for the mission trip were to be dropped off at the nursing department,

Simperman 415, or in the wrapped boxes located in the lobbies of Simperman, St. Charles, O’Connell, and the Cube by Wednesday, March 15th.

As this was just a donation and not a trip the students are actually going on, it is hard to say what the mission trip will be like.

"Students might not have a lot to say about it,” said Terri John, administrative assistant to the nursing program.

More information on this trip can be found online or at the nursing department located on the fourth floor of Simperman.

Colors, Carroll College’s literary mag-azine, may be more than 50 years old, but this year’s issue is a tribute to Carroll’s contemporary voices.

“This year, lots of students are making a statement about the current times we are living in,” said editor Sarah Hayden, a junior history major from Weiser, Idaho.

Hayden has been an editor for Colors for three years, and during her tenure, the magazine has changed and grown substantially.

“We’ve gotten a lot more interest [in the magazine] over the years—especially for art work,” Hayden said.

Students have not only shown more interest in getting involved with Colors, but they have also become more daring in their writing.

“People think of poetry as an expres-sion of internal feelings, but it is much more than that,” Hayden said. “Writers are bold this year and ambitious.”

Hayden said that students are tackling large issues, including feminism and politics.

“Writers at Carroll really opened up

this year,” Hayden said. “They are getting their voices out there about things that really matter.”

Hayden believes that students should read Colors because it connects them to their classmates’ perspectives on contem-porary problems.

Loren Graham, the faculty advisor for Colors, agreed. Graham does not decide what writing and content is put in the magazine because he does not want to obstruct the students’ exchange of ideas.

“I have always kept to the practice of not making editorial decisions,” Graham said. “I want it to be the students’ maga-

zine.” Graham believes that for writing to be

worthwhile and effective, writers must have an audience that reads and listens.

“Writers exist in a community,” Gra-ham said. “They are not alone. They are part of a community.”

Graham reminds students that writing is a two-way connection, and at Carroll, Colors gives Carroll students the oppor-tunity to connect with other students in an unfiltered way.

Hayden could not agree more. The magazine is expected to be released on April 3.

Wesley Feist is Carroll’s new coordina-tor of internships and undergraduate re-search in the Career Service Department.

Rosie Walsh, director of career and testing services, enthusiastically stated that there were several highly qualified candidates who applied for the position and expressed immense interest in work-ing at Carroll.

“Wes has several qualities that will enhance the services our Career Services department provides for our students," Walsh said. "He has a strong background in student development … his ability to communicate, his passion for helping students move through their own career development process, his knowledge of student development, career planning and process, and his relatability were all factors that propelled him to the top."

Feist has a bachelor of science in management from Johnson and Wales University and a master of arts in higher education and public policy from the University of Denver.

He has worked in higher education with grants, loans, financial aid, and creating internship programs, for ten years. His experience comes from working at Helena College of the University of Montana, Johnson and Wales University, Student Assistance Foundation, and the Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education.

“Wes will serve in the capacity of coordinator of internships and undergrad-uate research," Walsh said. "We want to expand research opportunities for our students, and part of Wes’ job will be to work collaboratively with faculty and with entities outside of Carroll to do just that."

Feist is in charge of working with the students, faculty, and staff at Carroll College to coordinate internships and the undergraduate research.

In the future, he plans to make the internship process more streamlined, along with expanding the opportunities available for academic majors and student interests.

Feist is trying to get involved with the clubs and organizations on campus to help intertwine professional and educational opportunities into their programs. He expressed his excitement about working here at Carroll and looks forward to con-necting with the Carroll community.

“I am here to work with current stu-dents for the sake of securing internships and undergraduate research opportunities that will benefit their education and future professional goals," Feist said. "Whether it is guiding students through the resume and cover letter building process; provid-ing insight into interviewing skills and professionalism; connecting students to local, state-wide, national, or international contacts; or narrowing down a specific re-search topic to help with graduate school admission; I am here to help students make the most of their education and professional aspirations."

Freshman through seniors looking to determine a major, find an internship, apply to graduate school, register for the GRE, practice interview skills, create a LinkedIn profile, or need help writing a resume, cover letter, or personal state-ment, are invited to visit Feist or Walsh at the Career Service office or contact them at wfeist@carroll.edu and rwalsh@carroll.edu.

A $40,000 grant was recently given to Carroll College’s Anthrozoology program for a study on shelter dogs.

The study aims at finding ways to min-imize the stress levels of dogs in animal shelters. Erica Feuerbacher, assistant professor of anthrozoology, is optimistic on how this grant can contribute to the studies.

“One of the goals of anthrozoology is to improve human and animal lives, and the lives of humans that love animals,” Feuerbacher said. “ [There’s] four to five million dogs in shelters each year, so if we can improve their lives and make them more adoptable, that would be ideal.”

The $40,000 grant is through Maddie’s Fund, which is a foundation that focus-es on improving shelter dog welfare. Carroll’s anthrozoology program received another grant from them last summer for a similar study conducted at Best Friends Animal Society in Kanab, Utah.

“We looked at their program in which dogs would go on a one night sleepover,” Feuerbacher said. “We found that their cortisol levels, which is a measure of stress, significantly dropped while they were at the sleepover but went back to baseline levels when they returned to the shelter.”

Feuerbacher is collaborating with multi-ple professors at Arizona State University to look at four different shelters across the U.S. where they will conduct similar studies that look at dog shelter welfare. One of the studies will feature two-night sleepovers.

Feuerbacher believes this will be great for the dogs because they can leave the shelter and relax. The dogs may show new behaviors that can be studied, all while having a better chance of being adopted due to additional exposure.

Breanna Caldwell, an junior anthro-zoology major from Aurora, Colorado, knows firsthand how the program can have a big impact on people’s lives.

Caldwell came to Carroll specifically for the anthrozoology program and plans on attending veterinary school after she graduates.

“The opportunity to raise a dog has really opened my eyes to what animals can do for us, because my dog has really made a difference in my life,” said Cald-well. “Being able to be a part of some-thing like this is really cool.”

Caldwell believes that Feuerbacher’s research analyzing the effects shelters have dog's stress levels can improve the welfare of shelter dogs. It will also mak-ing them more adoptable.

“We take [dogs] from a stressful setting into one where they are being loved every

day, they are with people every day, and they are gaining skills to be a better dog,” Caldwell said. “Some people don’t know what anthrozoology is, so I think this study will be a really big jump-start into how what we do really helps the lives of

animals.” Caldwell believes that Feuerbacher will

use the funding with precision, making the Carroll anthrozoology department more desirable.

At first glance, many would overlook the character that is the new assistant director of community living. He isn’t particularly dominant looking. Most days you’ll see him walking around in baggy, comfortable clothes, glasses and a laugh that makes everyone else want to laugh with him.

He might seem unassuming, but Darryl Yingling has made a life out of being able to handle students at their best and worst days. His life as a Community Living Adviser has taken him through several other schools before finally arriving this semester at Carroll.

“I’ve always wanted to help,” Yingling said. "I thought that meant working in a hospital, but I missed student affairs.”

Yingling grew up in Pennsylvania, hav-ing by all accounts a normal childhood. College is where he found his interest in student affairs, as he served as a room assistant at Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania.

Wanting to help others steered him towards biology and lab work in hospitals.

While no doubt meaningful work, some-thing was missing in his life.

As Yingling reexamined his life, he once again found himself working for student affairs, and decided to devote his career to helping students. He earned his master’s degree in student affairs and starting work at Southeast Missouri State University. He also worked in student affairs at McDaniel College in Maryland.

“Daryl starts out on the quiet side, but once you become his friend, he is the shirt off his back type of friend,” said Ann Campbell, former administrative assistant of Campus Safety at McDaniel college. “He went out of his way for me.”

One account from McDaniel college says Yingling even went so far as to jump into the campus shuttle in winter storm conditions at 4 a.m. to make sure the stu-dents made it back to their rooms safely.

He excels in taking responsibility for his students, making sure they are the safest they can be.

Yingling did not attend Carroll, but his time in college provided a sufficient amount of experience in the realm of students. He remembers the time when he came into work Monday morning to find all the couches and chairs had been flipped over from the previous night.

“You just say ‘what the heck were they thinking,’” Yingling said.

Yingling believes the students act very differently here at Carroll compared with his previous schools. He mentioned how the dorms bring the students together more than separating them with apart-ments or suites.

He thinks this contributes to the mental-ity of the students being more dedicated and flourishing Carroll environment.

“Here, people aren’t out to get you,” Yingling said.

Carroll College has named its citizen-ship award after Archbishop Raymond Hunthausen. This year the award is bestowed to Carroll students Heather Hu-guet, William French, and Carly Colligan, who embody the archbishop’s lifelong goal of peace and justice.

These students have proven a com-mitment to social justice and community service that extends beyond the Carroll and Helena communities.

“This wonderful award honors the work of so many of our students who dedi-cate themselves to helping others,” said Rosalie Walsh, director of Career Services and chairperson of the Hunthausen Award Committee.

The Hunthausen Citizenship award

recognizes students who devote them-selves to helping others, and continuously volunteer their time for a greater cause. It focuses around honoring those who give without searching for recognition.

Many nominees might not even know they were nominated until they receive a phone call congratulating them for being a recipient.

Walsh emphasized that this award isn’t for people who volunteer for resume building, but instead students that work in the background, quietly helping others without a need for praise.

An important issue Walsh and the other seven committee members face is finding these students. Many Saints work outside the spotlight, which makes discovering there selflessness a challenge.

“If we get 18-30 nominations I could only imagine how many more go unno-

ticed,” Walsh said. Rev. Hunthausen attended Carroll years

ago, focusing his studies on chemistry. He was ordained in 1946 and served as an as-sistant professor of chemistry. During the same time, he served as a Saint's football and basketball coach for four years.

He progressed at Carroll, eventually appointed president of the school. He served from 1957-1962. Hunthausen emphasized the need for more community involvement. He advocated for inclusion and helped the archdiocese diversify in Helena. Abroad, he established a mission in Guatemala.

He moved on from Carroll in 1962, becoming the Archbishop of Seattle. In Washington, he continued his fight for social justice. Hunthausen refused to train deacons until women were allowed and even stopped paying taxes in protest of

military expansion. Huguet, French, and Colligan were

humbled by the recognition. These stu-dents exemplify what this award is about through their continued service to the community.

“Winning this award feels like an affir-mation that I am doing what I'm supposed to be doing,” said Huguet, a senior public health and health science double major from Missoula. “Service doesn't have to be this huge thing, but it should take the form of whatever time and talent you can bring to the table.”

Any Carroll student is eligible for the award. It does not matter if the service was conducted in Helena or elsewhere. The students can be nominated by themselves, another student, faculty, or a member of the community where they volunteered.

Hunthausen Outstanding Citizen AwardJacob Rosen

The slopes of Lost Trail ski resort were filled with Carroll College students of all ages for the Carroll Adventure and Mountaineering Program (CAMP) recent downhill ski retreat.

“It was an epic trip,” said Ted Olenick, a senior biology major from Pocatello, Idaho. “I had the pleasure of showing a few people their first double black dia-mond.”

The ski retreat began with a bus trip on Friday, February 24 to Stevensville, Mon-tana. A local Catholic church provided the group with a gymnasium to sleep in.

“I felt like I was going to get a really good night of sleep to get ready for skiing

until Ted started snoring 10 feet away from me,” said John Corbett, a senior biology major from Lawrence, Kansas.

The retreat provided an opportunity for 28 students to come together for the thrill of downhill skiing while strengthening their faith in Christ. Mass was held on Friday night and Saturday morning in the church.

The group arrived on the ski hill early on Saturday morning. To their delight, much of the snow was completely un-touched. Lost Trail Ski Resort is closed Monday through Wednesday, resulting in much of the hill having fresh powder before the weekend skiers arrive.

“The conditions were spectacular, they received 25 inches of snow that week,” said Olenick.

Asia Paci�c University visiting Japanese studentsDerek Sherlock

Eight visiting students from Asia Pacific University have been participating in an intercultural experience at Carroll College over the past few weeks that culminated on March 22 at the World on Wednesday event hosted by the Artaza Center.

Each student gave a short presentation on a subject chosen by the student, to showcase their English and presentation skills. The participating students were Ryo Hayashi, Satori Matsunaga, Hanon Okuda, Yumena Nakagawa, Fuka Kawa-guchi, Kaito Wada, Maasa Furumori, and Reon Nakagaki.

Kevin Hadduck, director of the Aca-demic Resource Center, assisted the stu-dents with their writing and English skills as well as subject ideas. He assisted Satori Matsunaga with choosing to study the similarities between United States Native Americans and the indigenous Ainu from Japan.

“I didn’t know about the Ainu until Mr. Kevin gave me the idea,” said Satori Matsunaga, a graduate from Asia Pacific University.

Several of the students chose Native American studies as their subject. Exper-tise in this subject came from Dr. Jamie Dolan, from the sociology department, who was there to help them learn about Montana’s indigenous people. In addition, the World Montana Center for diplomacy and leadership took the students to a bison guest ranch in Townsend.

“I did not know about Native Ameri-cans and the history of Indian boarding

schools in the United States,” said Maasa Furumori, a graduate from Asia Pacific University. “I learned about student life at the schools, how they felt, and what they experienced. This helped me realize that cultural difference isn’t just a good thing, it’s an amazing thing.”

“I didn’t know that bison could run so fast,” said Leon Nakagaki, a graduate from Asia Pacific University. “They kept up with us as we traveled back to the house!”

Other subjects of study included Amer-ican slavery and the meaning of freedom, emotional change and the ABC theory, philosophy and the veil of ignorance, American and Japanese mindsets, and formal and informal hello’s.

“This was an amazing experience to learn about another culture by hanging out with these students," said Hannah Prince, a junior communications major from Tacoma, Washington. "Every one of them was such a genuinely great person and I was honored to be one of their buddies."

Kaito Wada, a graduate from Asia Pacific University, gave a unique pre-sentation on formal and informal hellos when looking to join a basketball game in Japan versus the United States. He spent much of his free time playing basketball with Carroll students at the Hunthausen Activity Center.

“In Japan, you say hi, ask to join a game, and the other players mumble, think, and then you get to play, which is pretty formal,” said Wada. “At Carroll College, you dribble onto the court and you’re in the game, which is informal. Much easier.”

In an effort to encourage and support the artistic capabilities of its students, Carroll is hosting its first ever Simperman Art contest this spring. The event is being organized by ASCC.

Senior Senator Maggie Korus said, “Each ASCC class of senators is allot-ted funds to spend on the school as they see fit. Our class wanted to propose a donation that gave back directly to the students. We believe that Carroll, as a liberal arts institution, needs to encourage student art, and support the endeavors of our incredibly talented student body.”

All artwork must be original pieces by the students and they must represent the theme of "Science and Art".

The students will be judged the follow-ing week in the upper Cube and prizes,

funded by the ASCC, will be distributed to the winners. There will be a monetary prize for the top three places and first place will also have their art displayed in Simperman Hall. Only Carroll students will judge the pieces.

“We wanted a project by the students for the students and of the students. That's what we got,” said Korus.

“It’s really exciting to have the contest going on,” said Sawyer Linke, a junior biology major from Helena. “I have a feeling that we are going to be surprised at the level of talent that students at Car-roll have.”

The drawings or paintings must be orig-inal work done by the student and they can be no larger than three feet tall by three feet wide. Interested students must have their drawings or paintings turned into the Associated Student of Carroll College Senate Office no later than March 31.

C.A.M.P. spends spring break in MoabSuspended 65 feet in the air, held only

by a rope and a harness, the student could see an endless expanse of rust colored rocks stretching towards the sky. The Carroll Adventure and Mountaineering Program’s (CAMP) annual spring break trip to Moab, Utah, was everything it had advertised; chalk full of adventures, tan lines, and new friendships.

Colton Rudie, a senior environmental policy and project management major from Bakersfield, California, has been in-volved with CAMP consistently through-out his time at Carroll and sees it as one of the best attributes of Carroll College.

“I could not have picked a better way to spend my last spring break at Carroll College than with CAMP,” said Rudie.

On Saturday, March 4, at 6 a.m., 18 Carroll students trudged across campus to leave on an 11-hour drive to Utah. Brad Maddock, head of CAMP and Carroll alumni, leads this trip annually. During the next seven days, Maddock led the stu-dents through two national parks, canyon lands and arches, up and down mountain biking trails, scaling rocks on the side of the road, and rappelling off 65-foot ledges.

“CAMP has become one of the most

popular and utilized clubs on campus throughout the past three years,” said Maddock. “The trips are a great way for students of all ages to get together and learn teamwork, new outdoor skills, and about the environment.”

Although this was only the third annual spring break trip that CAMP has gone on under Maddock’s leadership, it went in-credibly smoothly. CAMP provided gear, transportation, healthy meals, and plenty of adventure for a very affordable $160 per student.

“This spring break was a huge suc-cess,” said Maddock. “Over the last two years sign-ups have filled up in under 10 minutes.”

The trip had many activities unique to Moab; a night hike to Corona Arch right across from the campsite, the constant beautiful contrast of the snow-capped La Sal mountains against the pillars of rusty sandstone, and milkshakes at Milt’s, the oldest restaurant in Moab. However, Colbey Bruney, a sophomore civil engi-neering major from Sheridan, Wyoming, echoed the thoughts of many in the group when he said that the relationships made among the 19 young outdoor-loving adults surpassed all the rest.

“The trip was the highlight of my col-lege experience so far—not only because of the destination, but more so because of the people, especially Brad,” said Bruney.

Who likes paintball? This April, the Up 'til Dawn Executive Board will be putting on its annual paintball tournament at Carroll. The paintball tournament will take place on April 8th from 1 to 4 p.m. on Guad lawn.

Each team must be composed of five members, and each member must raise $25 online to play in the tournament (more details will be released soon on how to do this, so keep an eye out). For paintball, there will be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Also, there will be food

at the tournament for all players as they battle it out in the small, indoor paintball arena.

"The paintball event is a ton of fun. One of the best events I have played in over the years here. It's fun running around with your friends shooting your other friends," said Chase Farrell, a senior business major from Spokane, Washington.

On Wednesday, March 29th, UTD board members will be sitting in the upper Cube at lunch to help with sign-ups - definitely check that out. All proceeds from this tournament will directly go towards St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

As this semester winds down, the executive board is still accepting new applicants to join UTD for this upcom-ing school year. St. Jude Up 'til Dawn's mission as a board is to raise funds for the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital for research and treatment for pediatric cancers while raising awareness about the cause.

"I am very excited to be a part of the board because I have always had dreams of working at St. Jude when I graduate," said Fiona Bennett, a junior nursing major from Bozeman who also recent-ly joined the UTD board. "It is really special to be able to contribute to a club that does such amazing things for such an amazing organization. I am looking forward to our paint-ball event in April! It's something really fun and different that our Carroll community can partici-pate in while raising money for such an important cause! The more people that sign up and get excited about, the more fun it will be."

Thanks to all of the amazing students at Carroll College, we have raised over $10,000 for St. Jude this year, and the number still continues to grow.

This year is also Indy Bains's, a senior biochemistry major from Spokane, Wash-ington, final year on the executive board as director.

"My favorite memory as executive director would have to be the big event

we had during the fall semester. What makes it so memorable was how amazing it was to see all the board members work-ing and collaborating together to share the message of St. Jude's," said Bain. "The student participants had a blast and made it all that more memorable. The most memorable moment from the event would have to be Dodge ball. I mean it was 2 a.m. and these students were full of energy, to the point that I asked students if they were okay after absorbing such devastating hits. Events like this remind me why I enjoy being the director of Up 'til Dawn, you are impacting the lives of the students and community members around you in a positive way."

If you have any questions regarding UTD, feel free to contact Indy Bains at ibains@carroll.edu. Also, like us on Facebook at: Up 'til Dawn-Carroll College and add us on Snapchat as well: udawn. Happy studying!

Over Carroll's recent spring break, several students served the impoverished youth of Chicago

during a Headlights mission trip, which was sponsored by Campus Ministry.

The mission team left for Chicago in the early morning on Saturday, March 4. They drove through the downtown section before venturing out to Humboldt Park, on the west side of Chicago, where they spent the week serving the community. They returned to Helena on Saturday, March 11.

Humboldt Park is a 3.5 square-mile area where, last year, there were 79 violent crimes reported, in addition to 42 reports of auto-theft, and 50 reports of narcotics. It is also the neighborhood of Our Lady of the Angels church and mission.

Our Lady of the Angel’s parish and elementary school was formed in 1894, but closed after a fire killed 95 people, 92 students and 3 nuns, in 1958. Ten years ago, the Reverend Bob Lombardo was sent to revive the Catholic presence in west Chicago. The mission has grown exponentially to include three nuns, two novices, and more than nine different pro-grams they use to serve their community.

“It’s crazy how fast they grew,” said

Jenna Starke, a sophomore health science major, who went on the trip. “Over a de-cade ago, this place didn’t exist. Now they regularly make meals to feed upwards of 200 people.”

The Carroll students cleaned the convent and basement of the church to ensure that the meals cooked there would

be sanitary. The nuns are ex-ceptional cooks; Sister Alicia Torres won Food Network’s “Chopped” when she ap-peared on the show in 2015.

The students also worked at Kelly Hall, an after-school program that partners with the mission. They helped the children of the program with homework, sat with them on the computer, and played games with them.

“It was great to see the students come alive with the kids,” said Jake Samuelson, the supervisor of the trip and an academic advisor at Car-roll. “No matter if they were playing basketball with them or some other game. They were really in the moment with the kids.”

The nine Carroll students who used their spring break to go on this mission trip included Karissa Procopio, Theodore Olenick, Alexander Broyles, Katelyn Graff, Kurt

Parker, Monica Suek, Talya Vaira, Jenna Starke, and Michael Bradt. The team was led by Samuelson.

“It was cool to see them give up their spring break to grow in spirit,” said Samuelson. “They saw God work in the community but also in each other.”

Headlights

The Headlights spring break trip to East Los Angeles departed on Saturday, March 4, for a week of

impactful experiences. Twelve students and campus minister,

Dan Thies, drove two minivans to St. George, Utah, where they spent the first night. The group stayed with host families for two nights in Los Angeles and then stayed in the Delores Mission School for the remainder of the week. The students were given the opportunity to learn and speak Spanish with their host families.

“That’s the most concrete way you can immerse yourself is through living under a stranger’s roof,” said Katie Buckner, a sophomore engineering major from Bozeman. “With the language barrier, you get more familiar with communicating through emotions, facial expressions, body language, [and] things like that.”

On the first Monday of their trip, the students served at the Delores Mis-sion School in Los Angeles. The school provides housing for the homeless every night.

The group spent Tuesday on Skid Row, an area of East Los Angeles known for extreme poverty and drug use. They had to walk along the streets because of the high amounts of people, tents, tarps, and trash along the sidewalks.

“That was probably the most uncom-fortable I’ve ever been in my entire life because that was the first time I had to ex-perience being a minority,” said Buckner.

“We looked very out of place,” said Jack Rees, a sophomore biology major from Portland, Oregon.

A man who had experienced Skid Row

as well as numerous other hardships in his life shared his testimony with the group.

“I was surprised the man was still alive,” Buckner said. “With that being said, that just shows the huge graces he was given.”

“He finished and Dan was like, ‘maybe you’re a saint,’” said Rees. “It was…very powerful.”

Kyle Baker, an alumnus of Carroll, is currently in the Jesuit Seminary to become a priest, and the Headlights group had the opportunity to talk with him at the seminary. Baker had been on the Head-lights trip to East Los Angeles himself during his time at Carroll.

The group also visited Homeboy Indus-tries, a project started by the Rev. Gregory Boyle, author of the book Tattoos on the Heart. The project hires previous gang members and individuals who have been incarcerated, and it provides opportunities to these individuals to improve their lives.

Near the end of their trip, the group cooked breakfast at the Delores Mission for the men staying there, and they cooked lunch for the women at a nearby shelter.

“I think that was a highlight for a lot of us on the trip,” said Buckner.

Many immigrants ate at these meals, and the Carroll students were introduced to their struggles with the United States Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.

Rees said the helplessness he felt con-cerning these immigration issues was the most difficult aspect of the trip.

“That’s the U.S. government we are fighting against at this point,” Rees said.

The Headlights group also spent time in Zion National Park before returning to Carroll on Saturday, March 11.

“It was a great community by the end of the week,” said Buckner.

A group of Carroll Students traveled to Denver over Spring Break, performing service work

for the homeless population. The group, traveling in a caravan of

three rental vans, left early in the morn-ing on Saturday, March 4. They arrived that night at Christ in the City, a Catholic organization that specializes in serving the homeless population of Denver.

Christ in the City is composed of young men and women between the ages of 18 and 28. The members each opt to spend either one year or two living with the organization and dedicating their daily lives to the service of the homeless. One of these missionaries is Dillon Armstrong, a Carroll graduate.

"My time at Christ in the City impacted me in so many ways," said Anna McCa-rthy, a junior psychology and theology major from Boise. "Their motto "love until it hurts" is what stood out the most for me. I have come to understand what it means."

The Headlights group spent their days walking around downtown Denver and

conversing with the homeless population there. On Wednesday, March 4, the group accompanied the CIC missionaries as they put on their weekly Lunch in the Park. At this event, meals were prepared for up to 400 people.

After the lunch, the students spent sev-eral hours conversing with the attendees, learning their stories.

"It wasn't easy to walk into my new friends on the street's realities and hear their sufferings, it hurt," said McCarthy. "However, the amount of love that came through the hurt is what allowed for a friendship to form. I had an incredible time."

The group returned the following Saturday, with bittersweet outlooks. Abra Casey, a Sophomore Communication and Ethics major, did her best to sum the trip up.

“The whole trip was both exhausting and encouraging,” Casey said. “The energy and joy at Christ in the city was so contagious. We just understood that being entirely selfless was the way it worked there, so we tried to forget ourselves and see what God did through that.”

"I would definitely go back and give a year of service to their mission," said McCarthy. "I have been highly consider-ing it. "

Deidre Casey, the women’s cam-pus minister at Carroll College, shares her positive energy and

endless kindness and compassion with others, both on campus and at home.

“I can’t think of anything better,” Casey said, referring to her job.

Casey is in charge of numerous min-istries on campus, including Via and the Carroll Women’s Retreat. She is also the mother of seven children, ranging from 3 to 23 years old. On top of all that, she creates music albums with her husband,

David. Casey grew up in Spokane and moved

to Helena in 1991 to attend Carroll. She met her husband freshman year, and they were married two years later. She gradu-ated with a degree in English and Spanish for secondary education in 1995.

She believes both degrees have aided her in her life and current career.

“Being able to be connected through language is a valuable thing,” said Casey.

Casey taught Spanish at Capital High School in Helena for 13 years, completing that path in life in 2009. She devoted her time to helping with the youth ministry at Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church during the next eight years, which helped pave the way to her job at Carroll. Her husband is still employed at the church as the director of faith formation.

Casey acquired a part-time job at Car-roll in January 2016 when a friend shared the potential job opening with her. She began her full-time job as the women’s campus minister in August, 2016.

“I love being back in this building and on campus,” Casey said.

One drawback of the new job is that she is not as available at home. With five kids still living at home, she has two full-time jobs to juggle.

“David and I got really used to working side by side,” explained Casey.

Casey manages both being a mother of seven and a motherly figure for countless students at Carroll with grace.

“I like to refer to Deidre as my Carroll mom,” said Nicole Kraut, a junior nursing student from Post Falls, Idaho. “She loves me like her own daughter and encourages me to grow deeper in my faith. I hope someday I can touch the lives of people like she has touched mine.”

Casey is incredibly happy to be work-

ing at Carroll, despite the time commit-ment.

“I’d rather be doing this than grading Spanish papers,” she said with a laugh.

One of Casey’s children, Abra, is a sophomore at Carroll studying communi-cations and ethics. Deidre and Abra enjoy being on campus with each other.

“We’ve always had a really good relationship, so it was easy for both of us to be in the same place,” Abra said. “It’s basically been her dream job…and she’s excited about it every day.”

Beyond her jobs at Carroll and home, Deidre finds time to sing and collaborate with David. David has produced seven albums. Together, the Caseys have pro-duced three.

They started their music career together at Carroll, playing in a band with Colin Meloy, who is now the lead singer for The Decemberists, a popular indie folk rock band. The Caseys still keep in contact with Meloy.

Deidre and David Casey are releasing a new CD this spring called “Little Fox, Little Bird.” A variety of other people are featured on this CD as well; Deidre and David have expanded this album from their usual duo to a band.

They refer to their genre of music as country folk soul pop.

Deidre joked that, as with every other album they have produced, her husband is certain this will be ‘the one’ that will launch them into a life of fame.

“My husband’s the visionary…I tend to be the more, I guess you could say pragmatic realist,” said Casey. “Our first priorities are our family and the commu-nity. It's such good work being able to share God's love.”

He awoke in a sweat to the noisy sound of the Romanian offi-cer yelling at someone a short

distance away. “I had no idea what I wanted to do after

freshman year of college, so I joined [the Montana Army National Guard] to find some direction,” said Ben Matthews, a se-nior computer information systems major from Port Townsend, Washington.

Matthews has been involved in the Montana Army National Guard since May of 2014. Last July, his Calvary Brigade was sent to a United Nations training event on a base in Cincu, Romania. Many countries’ active duty armies were sta-tioned at the base.

“We had to be at the motor pool by 0400 hours, conduct pre-combat checks and inspections, do radio checks, and be staged up in our convoy order of march by 0500 hours to go out on the mission all day,” said Matthews. “We would return to camp around 2200 or 2300 hours, and did it all again the next day.”

In June of 2014, Matthews traveled to basic training for 10 weeks in Fort Leon-ard Wood, Missouri. After basic training, Matthews moved to Fort Lee, Virginia, in September for Advanced Individual Training (AIT). During this time, he took a semester off from Carroll.

Since January 2015, Matthews has been a full-time student, a part-time employee at Home Depot, and attending regular drill for the National Guard.

Drill is one weekend every month, and helps to keep Matthews current through weapon qualifications, physical fitness, continuing education, and practice in the field.

With all these activities, Matthews remains extremely busy and solitary at

times. However, he still manages to find time to relax with his friends. Peers of Matthews are quick to recognize his am-bition and self-control.

“Ben demonstrated unbelievable disci-pline last semester,” said Antonio Ranieri, a senior engineering major from Portland, Oregon. “He woke up every morning at 4, went to work until 10, and still was able to make it to more class than I was.”

Recently, Matthews was moved out of his Cavalry Brigade and into an Aviation Brigade.

“Aviation is always where my primary interests have been,” Matthews said. “I have had my student pilot license since junior year of high school.”

In December, Matthews was recog-nized as the Home Depot employee of the month. Last month, he was awarded an Army Achievement Medal for his dedi-cation and determination for the Montana Army National Guard.

“Matthews keeps his portion of the house tidy, always remembers rent pay-ments, gets his work done, yet somehow remains calm around those who don’t,” said Eric Hjaltalin, a senior biology major from Spokane. Hjaltalin is Matthews' roommate.

Matthews has been enlisted in the Montana Army National Guard for nearly three years and has an additional three years left on his contract.

With only a semester left to finish at Carroll College, he plans to move closer to his original home in Washington upon completion of his degree.

“The National Guard allows me to move around relatively easily, as long as there is a valid reason for it," Matthews said. "They will transfer me to a different unit in the new area."

Matthews hopes to find a career in network management for a company near Seattle after finishing up at Carroll.

Initially, he plans to work this job while serving his last three years of service with the National Guard. In 2019, Matthews’ Aviation Brigade is scheduled for deploy-ment, although the details are still in the works.

Upon returning from duty, Matthews

wants to work full time in network man-agement.

“Although my service in the National Guard will come to an end, I still plan find time to fly and work on my pilot license, and maybe even stay involved with the National Guard,” said Matthews.

William Noce-Sheldon has paved a clear path to business success, a dream he's had

since high school. In 2013, Noce-Sheldon and his close

high school friend Jordan Feno started “Lead the Followers,” a clothing com-pany. When he opened the business, Noce-Sheldon attended school and played on the football team.

Noce-Sheldon is currently a sophomore here at Carroll, and is double majoring in international business and Spanish with a minor in philosophy. Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, he grew up as one of nine kids.

While attending Seton Catholic High School in Vancouver, Washington, Noce-Sheldon and Feno came up with the name "Lead the Followers." Their company’s motto is, “You can’t influence the world trying to be like it.”

“Our whole goal is to spread the mes-sage of leadership,” Noce-Sheldon said. “The blocks of our company consists of leadership, charisma, and greatness.”

Since the company's launch in 2013 they have had many well-known athletes such as Brandon Marshall, O'Dell Beck-ham Junior, and Jarvis Landry, wear their brand. Musical Artists Waka Flocka has also represented "Lead the Followers."

Noce-Sheldon and Feno have used connections with entrepreneurs to help pave the way.

“We are motivated to start a movement through clothing," Noce-Sheldon said.

"Now we are in the process of going to churches, different events, and speaking at leadership retreats.”

He chose to attend Carroll because his biggest influence is a Carroll Alum.

"My high school coach, Dan Chase, played on the football team," Noce-Shel-don said. "He was the most influential person in my life. So I figured if he be-came how he is by attending Carroll while playing football, I wanted to experience that as well.”

Former Carroll assistant coach, Mason Siddick, also helped Noce-Sheldon solidi-fy his choice to come to Helena.

"Everyone loves coach Siddick," Noce-Sheldon said.

After graduation, he plans to work with Feno's father at Bridgewell Resourc-es, working specifically with Spanish speaking countries. He plans on doing this while running "Lead the Followers" with Feno. Eventually, he wants to start his own store in Santa Barbra, California.

"I couldn't be more thankful to be part of such a positive and influential com-pany" Noce-Sheldon said. "It's not about selling clothes, it's about trying to become the best version of yourself. That's what we hope you strive for every time you put on a hat or t-shirt. At "Lead the Follow-ers" we are really trying to do something that hasn't been done before by spreading the message of leadership and positive influence."

Bagpipes and fiddles are blasting out of the speaker while Emily Franke practices her Irish Dance

trebles on repeat. She is focused, facing her reflection in front of the mirror at Cohesion Dance Studio.

Franke, a freshman elementary educa-tion major from East Helena, is an open championship Irish dancer. She began Irish dancing in the first grade after a troupe of Irish dancers visited her school on St. Patrick’s day.

“I fell in love with it,” Franke said. “I have been Irish dancing for 12 years now, since the dancers came to visit my school.”

Franke began competing as a “begin-ner one” dancer and through the years has improved up the ladder to the open championship level, the highest level of competition. For Franke, it wasn’t an easy road to get there.

“I’ve been competing for eight years, but when I reached preliminary cham-pionships, it took me about a year and a half to qualify for open championships,” Franke said.

Qualifying for championships took Franke over a year due to the lack of com-petitions near Helena and around Mon-tana. There is only one Irish Dance school in Montana, with its two locations being Butte and Helena. This makes competition difficult to come by.

To compete, Franke travels to Canada, Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado.

“I try to compete about four to six times a year, and most of them are in the sum-mer,” Franke said.

Despite the lack of local competi-tions, she has danced at the Western U.S. Regional Oireachtas, a competition for championship dancers in the western states. At the Oireachtas, Franke qualified to compete at the North American Irish Dance Championships, where dancers compete against the best of the best in

their age group. Lacking competition isn’t the only

reason for Franke’s long road to champi-onships. Injuries have also played a large role.

“While dancing, I have had five total injuries,” Franke said. “I’ve had four sprains and one break.”

Irish Dance isn’t just competition for Franke, its sharing her passion with the Helena community and the younger dancers.

“Emily is a shy, quiet person, but she is so different in costume,” said Franke’s friend Madyson Newman, a freshman elementary education major, from Boise. “Irish dance is her thing, and it’s what she loves. When the wig, dress, and shoes come on, you can see the passion she has for dance.”

Franke dances for Tiernan Irish Danc-ers. Each year, the school celebrates St. Patrick's week by dancing for elementary schools and local groups. Over the course of the week, they dance for four days around Helena, bringing joy to school children just as the Irish dancers once did for Franke.

One of her best memories from Irish dancing comes from the St. Patrick’s Day holiday.

“St. Patrick’s week tires us out so much that one of my favorite memories is being at the end of St. Patrick’s Day and laugh-ing hysterically because of the exhaustion that we encounter,” said Franke.

Tiernan is the sister school of Trinity Irish Dancers, based out of Illinois, and Franke is a volunteer teacher for the Helena school. As one of the most senior dancers at Tiernan, Franke helps to teach the younger dancers along with another volunteer teacher.

The next dance school year begins in September, and at that point Franke will become the head teacher at Tiernan in Helena.

“I dance because I love it,” Franke said. “My biggest motivation to keep dancing is for the people I dance with and for.”

The shot was there, a shot that Ryan Imhoff hit all game. As the buzzer rang across Municipal Auditorium in down-town Kansas City, the ball bounced front rim, back rim and off. Life University would hold on to win 73-71 over Car-roll College in the Buffalo Funds-NAIA Championship Quarterfinals. The Saints' historic season would come to a close.

The chance at the buzzer was a culmi-nation of a huge comeback. Life U started the game on an 11-0 run, the Saints cut it to five in the first half, but a 35-footer at the buzzer from Mike Miller gave the Eagles a 46-45 lead at the break.

The Eagles pushed the lead to 52-37 with 17:53 left in the game before the Saints battled back.

Carroll went on a 23-6 run to cut the lead to 60-58 with 9:29 to play. The Eagles then responded shot for shot with the Saints. Carroll failed to capitalize on missed shots as time after time Life U came up with offensive rebounds to extend possessions.

The Saints never tied or took the lead and a 9-2 run gave the Eagles a 73-64 advantage with 3:21 to play. Carroll was not going to let their season slip away without a fight.

Imhoff hit a bucket with 2:08 to play and after a Life miss, Zach Taylor hit a long contested three to cut it to four. On the Saints' next possession, Matt Wyman hit a bucket to cut it to 73-71. A foul gave Jonathan Beausejour, an 85 percent free throw shooter, a 1-and -1 attempt with 20 seconds on the clock. He missed the front end, and the Saints had one more attempt.

The ball was knocked out of bounds with 2.3 left on the clock. After a timeout, the Saints quickly got the ball at the top of the key to Taylor. He drove and drew a defender, leaving Imhoff wide open from 17-feet out on the wing, but his shot was just short, and Life would hold on for the win.

"I think Ryan felt like he had to rush it

a little bit because of the time, and that is understandable," head coach Carson Cunningham said. "It was on line but a little short."

The loss caps a tremendous season which saw the Saints capture the Frontier Conference regular-season and tourna-ment championships. Carroll racked up 29-wins, second to only the 2005-06 team that went 30-4. The Saints returned to the NAIA quarterfinals for the second-consec-utive season.

Imhoff scored a game-high 27 points on 11-17 shooting, one point off of his career high. He caps the season with 573 points. He led the Saints with 17.36 points per game. Imhoff later received Third Team

All-American honors.Taylor finishes with 2,019 career points,

just the second Saint to surpass the 2,000 career point mark.

He was named the Frontier Conference Player of the Year and scored 44 points over three games in the tournament. Tay-lor was named to the NAIA All-American First Team. He is on the top-25 watch list for the Bevo Francis Award, the award for the best player in small college basketball.

"You can't let it take away from all of the positives, from the competitive spirit that these guys had and the way that they approach being a student-athlete at Car-roll College," Cunningham said. "They are very inspiring, and you have just got

to keep that in mind, they do it in a very impressive way. In the classroom, how they carry themselves and how they play."

The Saints lose just one senior, in Taylor, but he is one of the most dynamic players in Carroll history. Still, the future is bright for the reigning Frontier Cham-pions.

"We return a ton of our players. Our players are fun to be around and coach," Cunningham said. "I am excited when I think about the future, but right now it is just tough because you want to keep play-ing, you want to keep coaching them. We were one possession away, so it stings."

Junior center Cassidy Hashley was named to the Frontier All-Conference First Team, released by the conference today. Junior point guard Bailey Pasta and sophomore forward Hannah Dean were named honorable mention All-Conference selections.

Hashley led the conference in rebounds per game by a large margin at 9.48. She tallied 50 mare rebounds than sec-ond-place Sierra Richards of MSU-North-ern.

Hashley also led the Saints in scoring and was fifth in the Frontier Conference with 14.42 points per game. She was third in the conference in field goal percentage

at 51.6 percent. Hashley was also named an Honorable Mention All-American for the second consecutive season.

The junior from Kalispell was a Fron-tier All-Conference Second Team selec-tion in 2015-16 and 2014-15 when she was also named the Frontier Conference Freshman of the Year.

Pasta earned honorable mention after scoring 10.4 points per game and leading the Saints with 86 assists, sixth in the Frontier.

Dean was second in the conference with 51 blocks. She was third on the team with 10.2 points per game.

The Saints finished the year with an 18-13 record, and an 8-10 mark in Frontier Conference play.

Football tackles spring seasonSpring football is on the horizon for the

Fighting Saints of Carroll College. “I am very excited for spring ball,” said

Chris Emter, a junior finance and business major out of Livingston, Montana. “It’s a great time for the team to come together and create the connections that I think will be key to our success as a team.”

Emter is coming off of his third year starting on the offensive line and was a member of the 2014 Saints, which was

the last Carroll team to make the playoffs. Carroll is coming off of a 4-6 record from the past two fall seasons.

The players are excited to make a run at the playoffs in 2017, and it all starts this spring.

“Spring time is a big time for prepa-ration for the fall,” said Reece Quade, a redshirt sophomore nursing major from Billings. “We all want to be able to make the playoffs again like the teams that played before us and we are ready to live off of the potential that we have.”

Coming back for the Saints this year

is star wide receiver Connor Fohn, a business major from Salem, Oregon. Fohn was the go-to guy on offense for the Saints last season, racking up 887 yards on 61 total catches with nine touchdowns. He finished with an All-Conference award.

“Spring ball is great because we’ve been in the gym early in the morning all winter and now we finally get a chance to play football again,” Fohn said. “Ob-viously last year was frustrating for every-one, so we are ready to make adjustments and get this program back to where it

should be." Spring is an exciting time for the Car-

roll football team. The players are giving the fans something to be excited about with players such as Fohn, Emter, Quade, and others coming back.

The Saints spring schedule includes lifting, film, and outdoor practices each week. With an inner-team scrimmage on April 22, many players will be itching for their chance to shine.

Men's and women's soccer spring seasonThe Carroll College men’s and wom-

en’s soccer teams have both seen their share of success throughout the past year.

In the third year of the program, the men’s team earned a 10-9-1 record in the fall. They had a higher win percentage in the conference with eight wins and just five losses. The Saints finished the conference in fifth place, losing out in the semifinals to Corban University at the regional tournament.

The women’s team finished at 12-4-5. In the conference, the women’s team went undefeated with eight wins and three ties. They finished at the top of the conference standings.

The girls lost out to Westmont in their first game at nationals.

“We were really happy with how well we did," said Michaela Kueffler, a senior nursing student from Billings. "If it’s a sign of things to come, then that makes me even more excited for the team. Hopefully we will see more national suc-cess next year.”

Isaac Bostrom, a junior English writing major from Helena, shared his thoughts on the fairly new men's soccer team.

“I am somewhat happy with how our team has progressed," Bostrom said. "We remain frustratingly inconsistent, but for being a team in our third year as a program, I think our record is better than many would expect. Next year, the goal is nationals. We came close this last year, and want to continue the upward trend.”

Success on the men and women’s teams is drawing more and more attention, next year both teams look to push it even

further. Preparations for the fall starts this

spring. With weekly practices, the men's and women's teams have been shaking the rust off over the past few weeks.

"It's good to get back out there after such a long winter" Bostrom said.

The women face off against Montana State University Billings and the Univer-sity of Montana at home on April 8 and the men play at home on April 29 at 1 p.m.

The Carroll College softball team came from behind and earned a 5-4 win on a walk-off single before earning a 9-0 run rule win and a four-game sweep of North-west Christian Saturday at Centennial Park in Helena.

"It was a great day to be a Saint," head coach Aaron Jackson said. "To come back in game one and get the series sweep was a huge gut check for us. I am proud of my team on how they responded to a rough start. To get the conference and the week-end sweep is huge."

The Beacons looked in control early in the first game. They score a pair of runs in the first inning and added additional runs in the second and third to take a 4-0 lead into the fourth.

Carroll finally got the bats into action in the fourth. A sac-fly from Megan Gipe scored Anna ApRoberts, but the Saints left two runners on base in scoring posi-tion.

In the fifth, with runners on first and second, ApRoberts hammered the ball over the centerfield wall to tie the game at 4-4, but again, the Saints left runners on.

Allison Williams entered in relief of Brook Brown in the fifth and allowed just one hit in three innings.

The game entered the top of the seventh tied, but it wouldn't remain tied for long. ApRoberts Doubled to center field with one out to immediately get into scoring position. Alison Bayer singled to right field in the next at-bat, sending Aproberts home from second and winning the game in walk-off fashion.

Williams earned her second win in as many days, striking out two and allow-

ing just one hit in three innings of work. Aproberts was stellar, going 3-4, scoring three runs and notching three RBIs.

"Anna ApRoberts had a huge day for us at the plate, and Allison Bayer came through with a huge walk-off hit to clinch the conference sweep," Jackson said.

For all the drama of the first game, the second was a blowout from the first inning.

ApRoberts hit a solo home run to get the scoring going in the bottom of the first, and it snowballed from there.

Kendall Mooney singled to left to score

Megan McCormick. On the next at-bat, Jaylin Kenney tripled to right to score Mooney and Hannah Alcorn. The Saints closed out the five-run first with an Ash-ley Davis Sac-Fly to score Kenney.

In the second inning, McCormick homered to score ApRoberts, bringing the score to 7-0. In the fourth, Davis singled to right and scored Mooney and Alcorn.

Courtney Schroeder pitched the first shutout win of her career. She allowed just three hits, notched three strikeouts without giving up a walk.

"In the second game to come out in the

first two innings and dominate was a huge step for us offensively," Jackson said. "We got another great day from our pitching staff and believe the staff deserves Pitcher of the Week award for the Cascade."

The four-win weekend sweep gives the Saints an 8-7 record on the year and a 6-3 Cascade Conference mark.

The Saints are again at home next week when they host Eastern Oregon on Friday, March 31 and Saturday, April 1 in a pair of doubleheaders at Centennial Park.

Ben Gardner's first-round 78 led the College Men's Golf team in the first round of the Beaver-Jacket Invitational at Aliante Golf Club in North Las Vegas on Friday, March 10. The Saints made it

through 15 holes of their second round before the round was suspended due to darkness.

The round was the first of the spring for the Saints as winter maintains a grasp on the Helena Valley.

"The weather is great, and we are

getting the valuable reps we need," head coach Bennett MacIntyre said. "This is more or less spring training for our squad, and the boys are battling as best they can."

Gardner's 78 tied him for 22nd place, six strokes over par and eight strokes back from the leader, Fort Lewis College's Mitch Donley.

"Ben is playing well and should post a solid second-round score when we finish in the morning," MacIntyre said.

Austin Egan and Chase Farrell were both tied for 34th after hitting a 10-over 82.

Joseph Potkonjak finished 15-under 88, good enough for a tie for 46th to round out the scoring for the Saints.

Carroll shot a team score of 329.The men closed out the Beaver-Jacket

Invitational Saturday, March 11. Gardner tallied a second round of one-over 73 to notch the low round for the Saints of the tournament.

Gardner finished in 31st place with a three-round score of 235.

Egan was second for the Saints, fin-

ishing in a tie for 43rd with a score of 244. Farrell was 49th with a score of 255, followed by Potkonjak in 50th place to round out the scoring for the Saints.

The scores would be underwhelming for mid-season form, but in the midst of one the snowiest winters in the last de-cade, this was the first weekend the Saints had been on a course.

The team finished with a three-round team score of 990.

"It was a good experience for the guys, and something we can build off of as we look to make a run this spring at the conference tournament," MacIntyre said. "We had some moments of good golf, but as the weather improves in Montana and we can get outside, the short game and consistent ball striking will return. When we get those things in play, the confidence will settle in."

The team took another day in Las Vegas for a practice round before returning to Helena on Monday, March 12.

The Carroll men and women will travel to Billings for the MSU-Billings Invita-tional on March 27-28.

Disney is known for their Broad-way-esque musical numbers, love stories, motherless princesses, and knowing how to capitalize the crap out of a franchise. "Beauty and the Beast" manages to check off on each of the entertainment mogul’s points.

With a stunning use of computer gen-erated imagery and a brilliant costume department, Disney brought their beloved animated love story of a maiden and cursed beast to real-life. Along with the dramatic twists of the original fairy tale and a few new original songs, this film is sure to skyrocket in sales for the next month.

If you’ve seen the classic cartoon, then you’ll know what to expect. That being said, the creators threw in heart-wrench-

ing backstories, dialogue which actually showed the strange couple bonding, and a few good jokes that definitely flew over anyone’s heads under the age of fifteen.

"Beauty and the Beast" gives the audience enough unique twists that the film still is a new experience while still being familiar enough to remind you of cuddling up with your parents for family movie night. Not to mention that coming out of the movie, I was drying off my tears at the happy ending, even though I 100% knew how the whole thing played out.

I know I could sing Disney’s praises all day, even to the tune of “Be our Guest,” (an absolutely spectacular scene in the movie), but, like any person with an opin-ion, I have my comments.

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t know of any famous French actors, but the small village in proverbial France must’ve been so removed from the rest

of France that everyone in the town was British. To be fair, that is a very nit-picky point, because of course Ian McKellan made an amazing anthropomorphic clock, and Ewan McGregor and Emma Thomp-son as Lumière and Mrs. Potts were, of course, perfect. However, the one flaw I just couldn’t get pass was Belle. More specifically, Belle’s dress.

Now I’m not saying I don’t love Emma Watson, because let’s be honest, she’s the perfect brunette, caucasian feminist to play our childhood brunette, caucasian feminist but seriously, what happened to that dress?! Word has it that it’s because the costume designer let Watson have the last word on the design. Now, God bless you, Emma, but you stick to your job, and let the designer stick to theirs. That way, we could’ve avoided the day-glo-yellow, lifeless nightmare that was honestly dis-tracting me from just how nicely the beast cleaned up.

Despite my heart breaking at not being able to see the amazing ball gown come to life, I couldn’t have enjoyed the movie more. Even in a sold out show, where I had to have a person on both sides of me (ugh), "Beauty and the Beast" was so incredible that it was able to whisk me away from my stressful schedule back to my dream world of marrying a rich guy and having a huge library.

Disney, once again, was able to make me feel like an optimistic five-year-old, instead of the stressed out adult with no clue about their future plans. The sheer amount of escapism alone should con-vince you to make your way to this movie in order to relive your childhood for a captivating two hours and twenty min-utes.

Junior SeniorBANQUET

Junior-Senior is a night of dressing up, laughter, and sharing memories with friends, especially for the seniors. The Junior-Senior Banquet took place on

Saturday, March 25 at the Radisson Colonial Inn.

My friends and I jumped at the chance to dress up and enjoy a night dedicated to us.

Granted, we are not seniors, but as

Patrick Harris, director of Student Ac-tivities and Leadership, stated it was a night “To honor and thank the seniors for their years at Carroll College and for being the care takers of the Carroll Family. They pass this torch on to the Junior Class who now take on the responsibility of being the big brothers and big sisters of the Carroll family.”

"Junior-Senior is one last hurrah before we all graduate and enter into graduate school, real jobs, wherever life is taking us," said Sarah Ladd, a senior health sciences major from Pendleton, Oregon.

Ted Olenick, a biology major and history minor from Pocatello, and Elle Barta, a psychology and gender stud-ies major from Bismarck, were voted

as the senior speakers for the event by their classmates. Olenick and Barta shared memories that the senior class experienced together through their time at Carroll.

“I wish I could have heard more of their speech but I couldn’t because everyone in the back was talking, but they were clever in calling out kids who left and in handing out major superlatives,” said Jessica Salmassian, a senior political science major from Petaluma, California.

I agree with Salmassian in the cleverness of Olenick and Barta in the major superlatives. My favorite was of course the one about my own major.

“And of course the anthrozoology majors: most likely to have more hors-

es than friends,” said Olenick. Let’s not forget about the food. The

appetizer buffet ranged from cheese trays and fruit trays to fried wontons, coconut shrimp, and honey smoked salmon. There was a little bit of every-thing for all who attended.

A dinner jazz band provided music and entertainment as the juniors and seniors arrived and filled their plates with food until Olenick and Barta began to speak.

“The speeches were entertaining and funny,” said Kelsey Raymer, junior public relations major from Visalia, California. “It was fun to dress up and have a fun time with all of our classmates and friends.”
