“To solve a problem you must first face it”- This was the goal of the event that took place at Carroll University on Sept. 2 entitled The Black Jew Dialogues which asked stu-dents, faculty and staff in at-tendance to take a deep-er look at the differences and likenesses that present-day Americans overlook in each other.

The Black Jew Dialogues was the brain-child of ac-tor-teachers Ron Jones (the Black) and Larry Jay Tish (the Jew). The two men had want-

ed to take an in-depth look at the history of prejudice and racism in the United States by focusing on the American Black-Jew experience. Since its premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland in 2006, the two-actor play has toured universities, high schools, religious institutions and theatres throughout the U.S.

Jones and Tish started out the performance by informing the Carroll audience that the strong and provocative words they were to use were not

meant to offend, but to send a message. Within the strong language, laced with expe-riences and realizations, The Black Jew Dialogues asked the audience to face their igno-rance.

“Afterall, everybody’s a lit-tle bit ignorant,” said Jones.

From start to finish, the play combined the use of multi-media, fast-paced sketches, improvisations and humor. At one point both ac-tors even dressed up like two old ladies who grew clos-er to each other after making

light of each of their culture’s stereotypes; not to mention bonding over a few dances with a lucky male from the au-dience.

From questions such as “How does it feel to be a Jew/Black in America?” to a rous-ing game of “Jew or Not Jew?” The Black Jew Dialogues gave its audience the opportunity to face biases that may have separated them in ways they’d never thought about and gave birth to even more ques-tions: “What are our common threads?” or “Who is oppress-

ing who?” A dramatic se-quence involving the symbol-ism of someone ‘drowning’ in their own culture’s misfortune brought light to Jones’ realiza-tion on prejudice.

The Carroll Universi-ty Board of Trustees and Se-nior Staff are in the process of major construction on Main lawn.

The renovation of Main lawn is one of the first parts of a 15-year master plan that was approved by the Board of Trustees. Some of the most distinct renovations to Main lawn consist of reconstruc-tion of the sidewalks, instal-lation of an in-ground sprin-kler system, and the deletion of Circle Drive.

“All that remains for the Main Lawn project is the fin-ishing of the outer ring of the cement circle, the borders of the sidewalk, and the final landscaping,” stated Dr. Doug-las Hastad, Carroll Universi-

ty Institutional President, at the September 5th meeting of the Carroll University Student Senate. “Sometime around the 15th of September we are hoping to have it finished.”

Hastad is referring to the large 60-foot in diameter com-pass located right outside the steps of Main Hall that will serve as the actual geographi-cal center of campus.

The metal compass will be made out of iron and it will be engraved with the phrase “Carroll University: Established 1846.” Naturally, it will point in the four actual cardinal direc-tions once placed in the cen-ter of the cement circle.

Hastad continued to say at the Student Senate meeting that “…we will be working on

the placement of the identifi-cation signs for the academ-ic buildings” while Main lawn finishes completion.

Sarah Langford and Steph-anie Cline, both freshmen, had different reactions to seeing Main lawn under construction when they first arrived at Car-roll on Freshmen Move-In Day.

“I thought to myself, ‘What’s going on?’” Cline stat-ed. “I figured they were doing something productive, but it seems like all they are doing is watering grass and it looks like the progress that they are making is very slow.”

“When I first saw the area that Main lawn was located, I asked, ‘What are they do-ing there?’” stated Langford. “There was not a lawn there

anymore.”With regards to the com-

The New Per-spective works hard to provide the Carroll community with a fair and accurate presenta-tion of all news pertinent to the community, following the Associated Collegiate Press standards and editorial board guidelines.

The New Perspective is writ-ten, edited, produced and oper-ated entirely by students under encouragement and advice of a faculty advisor, who is a Carroll University employee.

THE NEW PERSPECTIVE Carroll University’s Student NewspaperUniting the Carroll Community with a proud heritage of

journalistic excellence

The Carroll University bookstore started the Fall 2010 semester with the addition of three new services available to students: Rent-A-Text, Book-CHARGE and free dorm deliv-ery.

While Follet, the book-store’s managing company, has offered textbook rentals at select bookstores for sever-al years, the national program called Rent-A-Text had only begun last year.

Rent-A-Text works much like other similar rental servic-es and offers students the abil-ity to save up to 50 percent off the price of their textbooks; af-ter the rental period ends, stu-dents are also allowed the op-tion to purchase their books if needed.

At the time of rental, stu-dents are asked to offer a form of collateral (usually credit card or debit card) to keep on file if the book is not returned; a rental agreement must also be signed.

As Rent-A-Text is a large endeavor on Follet’s behalf, the transition has been grad-ual. Currently 20-30 percent of the textbooks the book-store is stocked with are avail-able for rent. The list of books available for rent depends on a number of factors, includ-ing supply and demand, the expected lifespan of the book

and whether or not it includes an extra ‘single-use’ supple-ment with an access code (such as software) or study guides.

The addition of the Rent-A-Text service has allowed Follet to become more price competitive with other online rental services that students have become accustomed to using.

“The major benefit of be-ing able to rent from your campus bookstore is the wide variety of choices,” said Carroll University’s Bookstore Man-ager Andrew Ewert. “You can shop in-store or online and have the added assurance of seeing the book you’re renting before making your purchase.”

Students are also allowed to apply the normal wear and tear on rented books, includ-ing the ability to highlight and take notes in them.

Follet and the Bookstore have also seen the addition of BookCHARGE, a service which allows students with a PiO-NEer Card to charge textbooks and supplies to their account. Students who have been ap-proved for the BookCHARGE program were able to charge up to $750 on their student ac-counts from August 20-Sept. 8 for the service; the charges are later reflected on the next bill-ing statement along with oth-

er tuition and fee charges.“Obviously students could

fall into the whole trap of ‘Buy-er Beware’ with this service,” said Ewert. “So we ask stu-dents to just be responsible.”

In order to use Book-CHARGE, students must sign a Financial Responsibility Agreement available in the Business Office. Once this is completed, the student is able to use their PiONEer Card to access the service.

BookCHARGE can be used with Rent-A-Text. However, the charge service is not avail-able when purchasing books online due to the inability for students to use their student cards on the website currently.

In the Spring 2010 semes-ter, the Bookstore sent out a survey to Carroll students, faculty and staff to gauge re-actions and opinions on the current operation of the book-store and its future expansion. Since the survey, no plans-of-action have been finalized on its expansion, but the book-store saw a mostly positive re-action by students to its servic-es. However, price remained a large concern among the student population; though, since the Rent-A-Text program began, the bookstore has seen an increased positive mood towards this concern.

that every culture in some way has had to deal with. But, “…when the shit hits the fan, I got your back;” a message that can resonate with all of Carroll’s diverse cultures.

The performance was celebrated by various students. “I thought The Black Jew Dialogues was absolutely fantastic. It was a great use of comedy to shed light on a very serious issue,” said senior Bridget Loftus. “It was one of the best events I have attended on campus in the past three years.”

“It definitely made a subject, which is normally uncomfort-able to speak about, a lot more approachable,” said senior Dar-lyn Buelow.

The success of The Black Jew Dialogues has prompted the development of The Black Jew Dialogues Curriculum which focuses on bias and hatred Americans share and has been high-ly praised by educators.

Son accused of poisoning father

A 54-year-old West Al-lis man whose father was threatening to cut him out of his will was charged Thurs-day, Sept. 2 in Waukesha County with lacing the old-er man’s drinks with a con-coction of windshield wip-er fluid and paint thinner.

A couple of sharp-eyed bartenders at the Pendu-lum Pub in New Berlin told police they spotted Robert Moore attempting to slip a bit of the fluid in the fa-ther’s drink while the father, Robert Moore Sr., was indis-posed. They summoned au-thorities.

At first he denied trying to put anything in his dad’s drink, and then gave a se-ries of non-convincing sto-ries. Moore, according to the complaint, then admit-ted he was sneaking a mix-ture of the two into his fa-ther’s drink “with the intent that Senior would experi-ence some medical reac-tion.”

Moore is charged with one count of attempting to place foreign objects in ed-ibles, domestic abuse; and one count of obstructing an officer. If convicted of all charges, he faces up to five years in prison.

Volunteers complete painting of Waukesha City Hall

Waukesha City Hall’s corridors are sporting new colors of gold and terra cot-ta.

“It’s all done,” said Mayor Jeff Scrima, who appealed to volunteers to do the job over two weekends, with paint provided by taxpay-ers.

Scrima, who attracted some unflattering attention after his office suite got a $4,000 paint job shortly af-ter he took office in April, said Monday he wishes now he’d used volunteers for his office, too.

Scrima solicited volun-teers for the bigger job after city hall’s drab white halls were bared with the remov-al of more than 100 historic art works. Scrima expected that city hall’s maintenance budget would cover the en-tire job, but the estimated $23,000 cost proved too ex-pensive for Public Works Di-rector Fred Abadi who did not want to deplete the budget early in the year.

The Public Art Commit-tee will decide which of the historic art work is re-hung and where. All of it will stay in city hall, as required when the collection was estab-lished.

The relocation of Carroll University’s math commons from Maxon 305 to the Learning Commons in the library has been an adjust-ment for students. But Alli-son Reeves, Director of the Learning Commons at Car-roll, is confident that this re-location will be better able to meet students’ needs.

According to Reeves, one factor that influenced this decision was accessi-bility, since climbing three flights of stairs to get to Maxon 305 made accessi-bilty difficult, whereas the Learning Commons is more easily accessible and is open 101 hours a week.

Reeves mentioned that with the move, there has also been some restructur-ing. Instead of having a pool

roll, who said that “…anoth-er reason for this decision was that the learning com-mons is a popular place for Carroll students to get help with classes, so it makes more sense for math to be part of the learning com-mons rather than separate from it since Maxon 305 is a rather isolated location.”

Symms also said that “…historically, institutions like Carroll offer free math tutoring, but Carroll has re-invented the wheel by also offering tutors for oth-er subjects like Chemistry, Physics and writing, and the relocation will allow the math department to ben-efit more from Carroll’s re-sources.”

“It was a matter of try-ing to utilize the university’s resources more efficiently,” Symms additionally said.

Symms recognizes that students like having more student space, so he plans to write a proposal for the Dean about keeping Max-on 305 as an addition-al student space for math. Symms said the “…logistics of how this space would be used haven’t been worked out, but he hopes to meet with students about this by the end of the month.”

Though this relocation has mostly received posi-tive feedback, it has been and adjustment for stu-dents, especially because the learning commons does not have the space for a chalkboard. But Reeves said that “…white boards are available for tutors, as well as two smart boards.”

“We do miss our chalk-boards,” said Nicole Lister-felt, a senior who has been a math tutor for three years.

“Change is hard for ev-eryone,” Reeves said, “but I feel very optimistic about the future of the math cen-ter.”

But with Supplemental In-struction program (SI) start-ing this year for MAT101, and tutors available specif-ically for MAT112, MAT130, MAT160, and MAT161. Reeves said this more fo-cused approach will serve student needs more effec-tively.

Lady Gaga: is it more than just a show?

Amelia Klem Osterud, the Director of Information Services and Circulation Librarian, at the Todd Wehr Memori-al Library presented her book “The Tat-tooed Lady: A History”, which traces the history of the tattooed woman as a West-ern sideshow attraction from 1882-1995, on Sept. 10 at the Waukesha County His-torical Society and Museum; but much more has gone into the book than just words.

Osterud’s book, which was published in November 2009, is the first of its kind. She utilized personal interviews, photo-graphs, genealogical research, women’s and labor history and the origin of tattoos to weave her account of how these ex-traordinary women lived their lives, both within the circus ring and out.

Osterud conducted much of her re-search using the wealth of material avail-able at the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wis. Many of the interviews she had the opportunity to conduct while researching gave insight into the lives of such performers. Two such interviews in-cluded the last genuine tattooed lady, Lo-rett Fulkerson, who retired from the side-show business in 1995, and Ward Hall, a sideshow owner.

Osterud’s many tattoos reflect her unique personality. “I can’t remember not being interested [in tattoos],” she said. She drew on herself when she was young, and when she turned 18, a Celtic armband be-came her first tattoo. From there, her tat-

Amy WilliamsStaff Writer

toos have come to include stars, 1950s-inspired patterns and shapes and a heart tattoo inscribed with the word “Grand-ma.” These tattoos cover the majority of her arms, wrists, neck and back.

This love of tattoos became the foun-dation for her book. In doing her research, Osterud discovered some surprising facts. For example, the two earliest tattooed la-dies married men who took the women’s last names after they achieved fame. This indicates how nontraditional tattooed women were during a time when wom-en were expected to remain within their domestic roles as housewives and mother; not to mention the fact that their bodies were veritable palettes of color.

Osterud has presented several talks on her book, most recently at the Wauke-sha County Historical Society and Muse-um. She was part of a program entitled, “Medieval to Midway: Highlights From Tattooing’s Past.” This program featured presentations on tattooed ladies in side-shows and public audiences by Osterud; the wider history of tattooing from an-cient to medieval times by Anna Fried-man Herlihy; and body art in a cultural context by Shay Armstrong, a body artist and photographer.

Osterud’s book and interests have leant clarity of the misconceptions about tattoos, but have given a deeper under-standing to the individuality these wom-en have chosen to share with others on the skin rather than their sleeves.

sic industry through her raw sexual imag-ery and lyrical con-tent. Her rebellious

music videos brought about a new age in

MTV history.

and pure ‘shock factor,’ the rock singer’s perfor-mances were

known for their entertaining

theatrics and fed a career that lasted

five decades.

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, better known as the singer/performer Lady Gaga, has been at the forefront of the music industry spotlight in light of the questions and controversies surrounding her. But what makes Lady Gaga such an iconic force in the media; is she per-forming on and off stage as well? One may wonder if Germanotta is putting on a show for the world, or if she really is Lady Gaga.

Lady Gaga performed at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 2nd. Carroll student Sarah Motley, who attended the performance, said, “I think she’s real. You can tell when she speaks at her concerts.” Motley explained how Lady Gaga let the audience know more about her when she expressed her interest in the LGBT community, as well as her dona-tions to charities.

Gaga’s concerts have been the focus of increased amounts of atten-tion. Theatre professor James Zager doesn’t know much about Gaga but attributes this popularity to an undeniable stage presence- on and off the stage.

“Audiences like to see extraordinary people doing extraordinary things. That is what draws us to live performances, experiencing some-thing spectacular,” Zager said. “However, the mere fact that I don’t know much about her performances, just her celebrity, may say something.”

The talent hasn’t stopped at the stage, however. Gaga pens her own songs, has established finesse for the piano and attended New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.

“She is actually a good musician, which is more than a lot of per-formers can say for themselves,” junior Logan Walsh said.

The psychogical aspect of iconic, eccentric performers like Gaga and why they are such phenomenons may be attributed to their ability to role model for society’s young.

“[Gaga] is really talented vocally, and then she has this persona as being really confident, really bold and secure in herself. …admiring those qualities would be pretty easy for most young adults,” Psycholo-gy professor Margaret Kasimatas said.

Dr. Kasimatas continued to explain she thinks Lady Gaga has be-come such a phenomenon because “… [Being] talented, attractive and fearless is a pretty compelling combination.”

At one point during the concert in Milwaukee, Gaga announced she did not want her fans to leave the concert loving her more, but loving themselves more; a stark reflection of the individuality that Gaga has modeled to her young audiences.

WHO'S

YOUR

ROOMIE?

heather MARKOVICHfeatures editor AND copy eDITOR

You may be rooming with one if:• You’re not exactly sure who your roommate is since there are always more than four people in the room• You’ve never actually had a sober chat with them• Your room could be open to a lot more space if you got rid of their bed- since they’re usually passed out on the floor anyways.

Testimonials:“My friend’s roommate had been so in-toxicated at one point that she tried to get off her top bunk and hit her head on a ta-ble on the way down. She evidently, also, had some serious rug burn for the next week from the accident.”

“My friends and I got really drunk one night. By about 2 a.m. my friend’s room-mate disappeared. With my friend stay-ing at their place to wait for him if he came back, the rest of us looked through buildings and everywhere. When we got back to their place about four hours lat-er, we found him in his room. My friend said he got back just as we did. But to this day, he has no idea where he went during that four hours.”

THE

PARTIER

You may be rooming with one if:•You’ve had to take up vaulting as a hobby just to en-ter your room

•You’re pretty sure they haven’t taken a shower since the floor meeting- last week

•You’ve taken to decorating the room in a Feng shui arrangement of pine air fresh-eners and Febreze

Testimonials:“Last year, my roommate’s disgust-

ing habits drove me up a wall. She clipped her toenails in bed, left her used tissues lying on the

floor, as well as her empty soda bottles. As far as her attitude towards cleanliness, she never felt the need to pick up after herself

and she scarcely would. I get a stomachache just think-ing about it.”

“My roommate was a complete pig. She would shower once a week, her room stunk and she never helped out around the apartment. When she did the dishes, we’d find dry food particles stuck on the dishes. Once while she was out of town, we discovered the foul odor com-ing from her bathroom was a towel with black spots rolled in a ball in the corner.”

You may be rooming with one if:•You can’t go out for Thursday night Buffalo Wild Wings until ‘raid’ is concluded at 8p.m.•The only conversations you do have with them is when you ask, “What?” mistaking their XBOX Live headset chat for actual conversation•Your coffee table is officially a nine-room dungeon and you accidently sat your coffee down on the dragon’s nest

Testimonials:“The roommate I’ve lived with for a long time used to be really addicted to “World of Warcraft.” From the moment she’d get back from class, she was on her computer and talking on her headset. One night my guy friend was over and just decided to tape her to her chair and her hand to her mouse. She hardly noticed!”

“My old roommate sat in the room all the time and played all sorts of videogames. He only left for food, which he left remnants of everywhere. I’m pretty certain he only learned the alphabet so that he could arrange his games. And I can’t tell you how many times I tripped over cords.”

You may be rooming with one if:•You're not used to watching cartoons now unless the char-acters have largely exaggerated physical features such as eyes or freakishly long limbs•You've started to 'purr' and 'squee' when you're particu-larly excited •You know exactly how your roommate feels based on the color of their ears and tail

Testimonials:“My roommates during the summer were very inter-esting to live with. I'd go out into our living room

and just find random balls of yarn everywhere. They were nearly always knitting when I saw them, so I'd like to hope that's what the yarn

was used for…”

“My roommate and I went to La Estacion a lot and I al-ways ordered their delicious coffee. Well, they serve it with whole cream and my adorable cat-girl roommate would ask for the leftover cream and drink it straight up.”

THE CAT GIRL

You may be rooming with one if:• You can't play Rock Band without them sitting in the corner scowling that you're doing a disservice to 'actual' instruments• They proceed to try to sing along with and harmonize while you play your favor-ite songs• During the first few weeks, they went through your CD collection and trans-posed your Led Zeppelin tunes for the flute

Testimonials:“As a music major I'm always a thrill to live with or live next to. Towards the end of last year, I had my iTunes playing. I was dancing and singing for a good long while until I looked up and noticed my neighbors watching. They clapped, I curtsied and continued packing.”

“I lived in a single and I remembered the guy next door would constantly practice his guitar at the absolute worst times-- and he'd sing! But the sad fact was that he wasn't very good. I'd think I'd be okay to do my homework and instantly he'd start up. I'd find myself drowning out the screeching-noises with my iPod.”

discount for living in a triple•You just moved in and you’re already a member in their eventual wedding par-ty•It’s not bedtime unless you’re huddled

in your bed with three sheets over your head and earplugs wedged in your ears

Testimonials:“My roommate, who I love dearly, had a boyfriend that was in our room it seemed 24/7. I liked him and all, but he talked so much. But the worst of it was the fact that it was make-out central in my room. I sat on my top bunk with my earphones up as high as they could go while the two of them were making out on the couch; and I could STILL hear them not to mention see them. I had homework to do, and he was a con-stant distraction to not only me, but he took away from my roommates learning experience as well.”

“My roommate’s boyfriend was over so much that he just started keeping his hy-giene products in our bathroom. I’m not talking just toothbrushes and hair gel, but also foot cream! And I could have sworn she was dating the Wolfman when I’d wake up in the morning and our sink was full of hair stubble!”

You may be rooming with one if:•Your only normal view of your roommate has been the back of their head as they exit the room•Their gas expenses have officially exceeded their tuition statements•They’ve purchased stock in Go-Gurt and Special-K Snack Bars

Testimonials:“My roommate was always gone at night. I’m not sure where she went, perhaps out with friends. I also never figured out when she did her homework. What’s even creepier is that I’d wake up in the morning and furniture would be moved and certain stuff of hers would be missing that hadn’t been when I’d gone to sleep. She was so sneaky!”

“My roommate and I decided to plot out her schedule for the semester one day, since she was pretty much never around anyways, being so busy. We found out that she just wouldn’t be able to eat at all on Thursdays. Period. Classes, meetings and work the entire day. She freaked out and asked me, ‘When will I eat?!’ I said, ‘Wednesday.’”

You may be rooming with one if:• They try to argue along with Big Bang Theory's Sheldon Cooper• You get a convocation point every time you spend time with them• Their idea of roommate bonding is just doing your homework for you

Testimonials:“My roommate's work always had to be done a week in advance. She even color coded her work with post-its. Also, anything she ever did she

would write on her dry-erase board for everyone to see on the door. This would include even if she was gone for ten seconds to the bathroom.”

“My roommate was a nursing major and retained a 4.0 all the time. She'd freak out if she even got a 'B.' She was almost always doing homework, though somehow

she managed to have a successful social life. I have no idea how she balanced all that!”

You may be rooming with one if:• First names have become irrelevant in your room and somehow you've become

known to them as "My #1 Fan!"• When they ask you for your help on their math homework, you're really just look-

ing at their stats • They keep flip-flopping between majors, paying homage to and modeling after their

hero Brett Favre

Testimonials:“How can anyone watch SportsCenter this much? My roommate would leave that show on literally 24/7. Even if he wasn't in the room! I swear had we been paying an electricity bill, we would have been in deep water. Not to mention, I think he legitimately planned his schedule around sporting events.”

“To whoever is living with my old roommate now, I hope you enjoy the smell of sweat. For future reference, old roommate, Carroll DOES have gyms.

You didn't have to use our room to do your workouts in. That's not the "smell of success" buddy.”

You may be rooming with one if:• You're pretty sure you just saw them hand sanitize the hand sanitizer bottle• It feels awkward watching Greys Anat-omy without someone's hand thorough-ly dusting the screen during• They can't sit at their desk without getting splinters since all the varnish has mysteriously been worn off

Testimonials:“If anything was ever out of place, my roommate would freak out. The room had to be divided and there was no shar-ing of anything. If your stuff was out of place, she'd move it. However, she'd share food only if it were yours.”

“Our roommate's desk was always im-maculate. Nothing was ever out of place. It was honestly kind of creepy. Everything was always in the same exact spot, like he'd never touched anything. At least if any of our stuff was in the way, he'd be nice about it but would actual-ly go out of his way to clean it for us!”

Jimmy’s Grotto serves for over fifty yearsJacky MeyerStaff Writer

Letter to the Editor:Students need to respect

Jimmy’s Grotto is well known as the “Home of the famous Ponza Rotta” and has been in business in the same building on Main Street in Waukesha for over 50 years. The restaurant was founded by Jim-my Rucci, who had been tending bar in downtown Waukesha and decided to try opening a restaurant.

On August 15, 1946 Jimmy’s Grotto opened for business, and sold nearly 200 Italian sausages, the first item they were famous for. The Ponza Rotta became fa-mous in 1976, which was first known as a ‘pastie’ with ricotta cheese and tomato sauce.

The new owner of the store, Doug Ciampa, took over in 2003 and has kept the tradition of Jimmy’s Grotta alive and well in Waukesha.

The Ponza Rotta is now served in many different versions, one of which looked especially intriguing. One re-cent addition to the menu in 1996, is the Taco Ponza Rotta. The Taco Ponza Rotta would definitely meet up to Jimmy’s stan-dards. The Taco Ponza Rotta was deli-cious, and featured fresh taco meat, plen-ty of cheese, salsa, black onions and green peppers, with a side of sour cream.

Another popular item on Jimmy’s menu is their pizza. While waiting for my Ponza in the restaurant, it was easy to see as many people picked up a quick pizza to take home to their families on a busy

night. The pizzas come in three different sizes, with a choice of thin or regular crust and a wide variety of toppings to choose from.

For those who are looking something different than Italian cuisine, Jimmy’s Grotto also offers a wide variety of sand-wiches, fish, and chicken tenders.

“I really enjoyed the chicken ten-ders, they are a great alternative when you aren’t hungry enough for a whole Ponza Rotta” said another Carroll student that was eating at the restaurant.

One important item to note if you are planning on trying Jimmy’s Grotto, is they only accept cash, so be prepared. But with the affordable prices, it is easy to overlook the anti-plastic attitude of the restaurant.

The restaurant itself offers a place to sit down and eat, but much of their business comes from carry out or deliv-ery, which starts at 4p.m. The inside is a quaint little place, very reminiscent of the time when the business first began; a great hangout for people of all ages.

Jimmy’s Grotto also has the conve-nience of being open for people of all ages. It is open Sundays from 11a.m. to 10p.m., Mondays through Thursdays, 9a.m. to midnight, and Fridays and Sat-urdays 9a.m. to 1p.m. So whenever you are craving a Ponza Rotta, chances are Jimmy’s is open!

Ah, Carroll University convocations. It’s no lie that a vast majority of students attend these functions not for their edu-cational value, but for the fact that there are a certain amount required for grad-uation. However, upon arrival, some of these convocations can be quite beneficial and interesting; if you’re lucky enough to find one that doesn’t clash with your schedule.

As a senior, I’ve attended my fair share of convocations. Though, I find myself somewhat behind still, considering Car-roll finds it convenient to plan the major-ity of them during my night class hours. But I digress; the reason for my writing here today is to point out the severe lack of respect I have found in the last year or so during these convocations.

The convocations that I attended last year were riddled with rude audience members, but the one I took part in dur-ing the first week of classes this semester was the last straw.

Obviously, a convocation that starts as late as 9:30 should be expected to end a little late. Audience members should be fully aware that they may succumb to late night ‘yawns’ and ‘pillow-yearns’ be-fore the event is fully over. But this does NOT give these people the excuse to be as disrespectful as I witnessed.

Once it was obvious that this convo-cation was coming to an end soon, I no-ticed numerous students getting anxious, trying to exit to the doors and starting up their own conversations. The amount of background noise that this caused was ri-

diculous; not to mention, it was incredi-bly evident that the performers could tell what was going on as well. I couldn’t help but be embarrassed to be part of this stu-dent body/audience.

What was even worse was the fact that once all this noise began, other stu-dents who were trying to focus on the performance began to turn their heads to-wards the source and become distracted. And personally, having someone in front of you turn their head to look to the back of the room every five seconds doesn’t make it any easier for you to concentrate.

So let me ask you this, Carroll Uni-versity students: If you went to a mov-ie at the Marcus Majestic or a musical at the Milwaukee Center for the Perform-ing Arts, would you begin talking or leav-ing when you believed the movie or per-formance to be coming to a conclusion soon? Would you be eagerly pushing to-wards the door, just because you’re ‘tired,’ before seeing whether or not Darth Vad-er gets the shit kicked out of him in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi? No, you’d wait it out. So why the heck would you do that during a performance at school? Quit it.

Let’s show ourselves as a student body to be an eager and respectful audience. The result could be an increase in inter-esting performers who aren’t deterred to come back due to our ‘crap attitudes.’

Otherwise, I sincerely hope that dur-ing your next presentation in class, some-one gets up and tries to leave before you’re even finished.

Although fuel is currently not as expensive as it has been in the past, it is still a major ex-pense for all drivers; especial-ly students. Some drivers at-tempt to cut down the cost by purchasing vehicles that are more fuel efficient. The Toyo-ta Prius won the top spot for the 2010 most fuel efficient car, with an average of 48 miles per gallon on the high-way. However, the price for a new Prius starts at around $22,100. There are other, more affordable fuel-sipping vehicles, such as the Smart Fortwo, which starts at around $12,200. Purchasing brand new cars does not have to be the solution to cutting back on fuel costs, though. By fol-lowing a few simple tips, driv-ers can improve their current car’s mpg by up to 40 percent.

Tip 1: Maintain Your CarIf your car starts making

strange noises or the “check en-gine” light comes on, something probably needs to be fixed. Do not allow the problem to contin-ue for longs periods of time—this could cause a more serious problem, and could decrease the car’s average mpg by about 30 percent.

Circle K is an internation-al collegiate service organization that promotes fellowship, lead-ership, and service. A branch of the Kiwanis Family, which in-cludes Kiwanis, Circle K, Key Club, Builders Club, K-Kids, and Aktion Club, new members fill out a simple registration form and pay annual dues.

The benefits of joining Cir-cle K have ranged from learning leadership skills, creating friend-ships and professional develop-ment to campus and community service, scholarship opportuni-ties and resume building.

Junior Heidi Greenland be-came the new president of the Circle K organization this year and plans to focus on recruit-ing new members in anyone in-terested in volunteer communi-ty service.

Events planned this semester will focus on outdoor communi-ty service events to include the Apple Harvest Festival on Sept.

Circle KMarty PitzerSraff Writer 18 along with the Halloween

“Trick or Donate” on Oct. 31, in which all proceeds are given to UNICEF. Other Circle K events such as the Membership Aware-ness Conference on Oct. 15-17, Circle K-Family Service Day on Nov. 13, and the 24 Hour Ser-vice Day will be announced at a later date.

The spring semester will also play host to an array of Circle K events. “Mending in March” will consist of two Wednesdays in March to organize a campus wide production of ty-die blan-kets and donate them to local shelters such as the Women’s Center. Also, the organization will donate time and skills to the Willow Creek Ranch to help pre-pare the ranch for the opening in the spring for disabled children and adults. More details will be announced on the organizations website

If interested in participating in Circle events or would like to get more information about the organization please go to http://orgs.carrollu.edu/circlek.

Improve your car’s gas mileageKristina LjujicPhotography Editor

Tip 2: Properly Inflate Your Tires

According to Car and Driv-er, “…underinflated tires can lower gas mileage by 0.4 percent for every 1-psi drop in pressure of all four tires”. That adds up quickly since tires typically lose psi over time, as well as during colder weather. Check the psi on all four tires of your car and properly inflate them if needed.

Tip 3: Plan the Best Possible Route

Try to avoid streets with high amounts of traffic. Con-stant stopping means constant idling. Cars use fuel while idling, and get 0 miles per gal-lon while doing so. Take small-er side streets, county roads or highways if it’s not rush hour. You’ll be able to drive further without having to stop for traf-fic. Also, try to get everything done in one trip. Several shorter trips can also affect gas mileage in a negative way.

Tip 4: Obey the Speed LimitDriving faster allows for bet-

ter gas mileage, but only on high-ways. In the city, the speed limits are lower for a reason. Constant stop-and-go traffic is caused by stoplights and stop signs. Break-ing the speed limit doesn’t pay off, since you’ll eventually get

stopped at a red light—or the police. According to Greener-Cars.org, accelerating excessively requires the use of more gas and harder braking. It will ruin your car’s gas mileage, as well as wear down its brakes quicker. All of which will cost you more mon-ey in the end.

Tip 5: Close the WindowsThe aerodynamics of some

cars can affect their fuel effi-ciency. Cars use more fuel and work harder to move forward if the aerodynamics are disturbed by opened windows or sunroofs. If necessary, open the windows part way. Add-ons, such as bike racks, also affect the car’s aero-dynamics and can decrease gas mileage by up to 5 percent, ac-cording to FeulEconomy.gov.

Tip 6: Lighter Cars Get Better Mileage

If you drive a truck or SUV, make sure you are not carrying unnecessary excess weight. Do not leave items in the bed or trunk for longer than necessary. Only keep important items, such as an emergency kit and a spare tire. According to FeulEcono-my.gov, every 100 pounds of ex-cess weight reduces gas mileage by almost 2 percent.

Math rock. This is what some call the band Tera Melos. The term es-sentially insinuates ridiculously com-plex music, featuring tons of odd time signatures and hordes of weird chord progressions. But Californian band Tera Melos, despite their as-sociation with math rock, is any-thing but inaccessible, especially in their newest album Patagonian Rats. No matter how tricky the music hap-pens to be, hooks aplenty swing through every song and will most like-ly catch anyone who listens. So, even when the band is doing the strangest instrumental pyrotechnics, listeners will always be in the intimate embrace of the music. It is refreshing to hear music at once both technically com-plex and straightforwardly satisfying.

“Scott Pilgrim vs. The World” is a movie mastered in style and presenta-tion. We meet Scott, complete with re-lationship issues and a dark past that continues to haunt him, who can’t focus on anything in his life until he meets the girl of his dreams, Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). Instantly, he is smitten. In order for Scott to date Ramona he learns that he must defeat her seven evil exes.

The scenes, while funny, are set up to keep you focused and aware of every-thing that happens.

Go see “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World” if you haven’t. Between great acting, funny references, over the top fight scenes, and the best soundtrack I have heard ever, you will have zero re-grets for seeing this movie.

Twelve long years after the release of “Starcraft”, the highly anticipat-ed sequel by Blizzard Entertainment, “Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty,” has fi-nally arrived.

Despite a few cheesy one liners, the single player storyline was enthrall-ing for newcomers and veterans. An-other attraction is its high replay value, with hundreds of achievements, por-traits, decals, and alternate missions to play. With three unique races, the multiplayer is the real attraction to this game, and will keep players hooked for years to come. If that’s not enough to keep busy, the game comes with a fully customizable map editor.

Overall “Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty” is a terrific game, and is well worth the $60.00 retail price, so go to your nearest game store, lock yourself in your room, and dive right in.

The three-book series, “The Chronicles of The Raven” by James Barclay follows a group of merce-naries through their adventures in Balaia. Unlike most books of the Fantasy genre, Barclay gives the read-er a more worldly view by follow-ing not only the members of the Ra-ven, but also giving insightful and intense descriptions of the actions and thoughts of all the other signif-icant groups. Barclay provides plen-ty of detail as well, but chooses to use it in his battle descriptions. This makes his fight scenes a joy to read because of the vivid images he por-trays. Barclay also isn’t afraid to kill people. The environment that Bar-clay produces is second to none and you won’t be able to put them down.

Cody Callender is Car-roll University’s all-time lead-ing scorer. With a hat-trick in the first game of the season, Callender recorded her 54th, 55th and 56th goals, giving her three more then Julia Bell, who played from 2002-2005.

The first game of the season was a Sept. 1 matchup against the Milwaukee School of En-gineering. MSOE opened the scoring drive at the 14:15 mark with a goal by Jamie Janczak. Carroll’s Kelly Blenner would answer back less than seven minutes later. It took Callender just over a minute to score the next goal, her record breaker.

The Lady Pios entered half-time with a 2-1 lead, but Raid-ers of MSOE tied it up after just a few minutes of the second half. Callender and MSOE’s Paula Bohl would trade respec-tive goals to render the game a 3-3 tie at the end of regulation.

Callender completed her hat-trick with an assist by Sarah Tennant, starting Carroll’s sea-son on various high notes.

Despite the win and Pio-neer history, Callender felt the game was a slight disappoint-ment.

“We had really high expec-tations and going into a game that in previous years we won four nothing or had shutouts against, it was just kind of a let-down,” Callender said. “But we figured out how to have a win.”

Last season, the Pioneers

Josh DeGrasse-BaumannSports Editor

Women’s soccer starts season with record-breaking moments

The Carroll Universi-ty Men’s Soccer team season has gotten off to a slow start. The Pioneers, for the first time since 2006, opened the sea-son with three straight winless games.

In 2006, the Carroll didn’t win their first game until Oct. 3, the eighth game of the sea-son. They did, however, quali-fy for the Midwest Conference Tournament, where they took second after a loss to St. Nor-bert College in the Champion-ship Match.

The Pioneers opened the season Sept. 1 at home against the Concordia Univer-sity Falcons. With the season just 26 seconds old, Carroll forward Brandon Fredrick-son scored the first goal of the game thanks to a Marc Hiet-pas assist.

The half would end in a 1-1.

Concordia started the sec-ond half scoring with a goal by Victor Mendoza. Hietpas would tie the game by scoring a goal of his own with an assist by Mike Klug.

The Falcons netted the game winning goal later in the half, giving them a 3-2 victory.

The Pioneers took on Northland International Uni-versity Sept. 3 in the Wiscon-sin Lutheran Invitational.

The first half of the game saw zero goals by either team, but the second half turned into a mild shootout.

Four goals were scored in the first 21 minutes of the half. Northland’s Daniel Doran net-ted the first of the game, but his goal was quickly answered by Andy Ksobiech. The two teams would trade anoth-er goal each to tie the game at 2-2 with 29 minutes left to play in regulation.

Carroll’s next game saw more revisions to the record book as senior forward Kend-ell Uttech became the Lady Pi-oneer all-time leader in assists, which was also held by Bell.

The Sept. 4 game against the Aurora University Spartans remained scoreless at the half. The first goal of the game was scored four minutes into the second half with Callender’s fourth goal of the season, assist-ed by Sarah Tennant.

Callender secured a Pioneer win by netting a goal, thanks to Uttech’s record breaking assist, after the 72 minute mark.

Spartan Christine Kwilosz scored a goal with less than five minutes to play, but Aurora was unable to tie the game.

The Midwest Conference named Callender the Offensive Player of the Week for her per-formance against MSOE and Aurora.

Carroll’s first loss of the sea-son came Sept. 11 against Hart-wick College in the 2010 May-or’s Cup in Oneonta, N.Y.

Hartwick’s Briana Crow scored a goal just after the six minute mark. It would turn out to be the only goal of the game.

New coach & goals for volleyball

Becca Saal’s first year as head coach of the Lady Pio-neer Volleyball team is under-way with mixed results thus far.

The first match of the sea-son was at home against UW-Steven’s Point where the Lady Pios fell 32. The teams trad-ed games for the first four, but the Pointers took the fifth game 15-6 to take the match.

Later that day, the Lady Pioneers matched up against the Milwaukee School of En-gineering. Carroll swept the match, winning 25-14, 25-18 and 25-18.

Over the Sept. 3 weekend, the Lady Pios participated in the Wisconsin Lutheran Col-lege Invitational.

In game one, Carroll de-feated the hosts 3-1 winning games one, three and four. They dropped game two 25-23 to narrowly miss sweeping the Warriors.

The Lady Pioneers re-mained winners later that day by defeating the University of Dubuque in the same manner. Carroll again missed a match

Doran would give North-land the lead with his second goal of the night. Mark Romig would pad the lead with an-other goal with 83 minutes of the game gone.

Carroll finished the Wis-consin Lutheran Invitational Sept. 4 against the Pioneers from UW-Platteville.

Platteville scored the first goal of the game at the 26:35 minute mark with a goal by Andrew Hanson. It would take about 37 minutes, but Carroll’s Cam Schubert answered with a goal of his own to tie the game.

Regulation ended with-out any more goals scored, so the teams played on. Twenty minutes of overtime later, the score was still tied, so no win-ner was determined.

The tie is, so far, the best result of Carroll’s season, but there’s little cause for alarm for the Pioneers.

“We are a work in prog-ress,” Head Coach Rick Mob-ley said. “Due to all the inju-ries coming into the season, and those suffered during the preseason, we are still in pre-season form. We’re still try-ing to find out who can play, and the right combinations of players that can play together.”

Thus far, the Pioneer’s have split time at goalkeep-er between senior Joe Mur-ray and freshman Tomek Mi-askowski. They have also used a different starting eleven in each game they’ve played.

“All things considered, I like this team, and think there is a lot of potential,” Mobley said.

sweep by dropping game two, but managed to extend their winning streak to three.

The next day, the Lady Pio-neers took on Indiana Univer-sity – Northwest. Carroll won 3-0, holding the Redhawks to just 43 points over the three games.

Carroll finished the Invita-tional undefeated by sweep-ing Alverno College. The Lady Pios dominated the Infer-no, holding them under dou-ble digits in the first and third games.

With the Invitational over, Carroll had a record of 5-1 and a five game winning streak. It was their best six game start since 2006 when they started the season with five straight wins before dropping their home opener to UW-Steven’s Point.

“I’m impressed with what the girls have done so far,” said Saal. “Our goals are to succeed in however we define success, which the girls have come up with specific goals and expec-tations for themselves.”

The team’s fortunes

were shut out by the Red Drag-ons. A second half goal by Me-lissa Guglielmo was enough to drop Carroll to 2-2 on the sea-son.

One of the most notable changes this season for the Lady Pioneers is at the goalkeeper po-sition. With the graduation of former goalkeeper Ashlee Rein-ke, freshman Taylor Mclean has assumed full-time duties in the net.

Mclean, who has played ev-ery minute in goal for the Lady Pios, will be replacing Carroll’s all-time leader in saves, wins and shutouts.

“[Reinke] was so much of a leader on the team and she was awesome at her position,” Cal-lender said. “To lose a goalie who is absolutely phenomenal, but also to lose the voice and the leader of the team is huge too.”

While there were other loss-es, Callender said that the Lady Pios would be able to overcome them.

“We’ve had some freshmen step up and fill big shoes and they’ve been doing an awesome job with that,” Callender said.

Including Mclean, the Lady Pioneer starting eleven consists of three freshmen. Midfielders Sam Gavin and Tennant are the other first-year starters.

The Lady Pioneers will play their first home game of the sea-son Sept. 15 against Carthage College.

changed when they returned to Van Male Fieldhouse Sept. 8 to face North Central College.

The Cardinals took game one 25-17, but Carroll battled back by taking the next two games 25-20 and 25-11 re-spectively. North Central took game four 25-15 to force a fifth game where the beat the Lady Pios 15-11.

The loss proved to be the start of a skid as Carroll was swept in a Sept. 10 match to UW-Whitewater. The War-hawks were ranked #11 in the nation at the time.

The losing streak climbed to three games later that day when Trinity International University dropped the Lady Pioneers 3-1.

“One of our goals is to get better and peak at the end of the season, which we’ve done so far,” Saal said. “Every match that we’ve played we’ve got-ten better and focused on specific things.”

The 5-4 Lady Pioneers next match is Sept. 17 against Judson University at Beloit College.

Women’s tennis opens MWC play with loss to Lawrence

The Carroll University Women’s Tennis team opened the 2010 season with a Sept. 1 sweep over Alverno College.

Kate Rasmussen and Kara Paroubek both went 6-0, 6-0 against their respective oppo-nents in singles play. In dou-bles play, Alyssa Larson and Rasmussen won their match 8-0.

The first Lady Pio loss of the season came on Sept. 4 against UW-Stevens Point. Carroll fell to the Pointers 5-4.

The teams split singles play, but the Pointers won the doubles matches 2-1.

Carroll had a repeat of the Pointer meet when they fell 5-4 to Lawrence Universi-ty Sept. 8. Again, Carroll split the singles matches 3-3 but dropped doubles play 2-1.

The loss dropped them to 0-1 in Midwest Conference play.

Carroll’s match against Knox College Sept. 11 was postponed due to forecasted rain. The match has been re-scheduled for later in the sea-son.

Despite the forecasted weather, the Lady Pios were able to bounce back with a 7-2 win against Judson Uni-versity that day. Carroll took five of the six singles matches, and won doubles 2-1.

The Lady Pioneers return to the court Sept. 17 when they take on St. Norbert Col-lege in De Pere, Wis.

The Carroll Universi-ty Cross Country teams be-gan the season the same way they’ve begun every season since 2004, with a trip to St. Norbert College’s Tom Barry Invitational Sept. 4.

Not counting the alum-ni team from St. Norbert, the Carroll men finished 4th while the women took 3rd.

The first Pioneer to rank was junior Joe Pliner, who fin-ished in 9th with a time of 21:19.3. Pliner’s time is a whole minute faster than his sopho-more time of 22:20.0.

The very next runner was Kevin Meyer, also a junior. He finished in 21:28.8, more than a minute faster than last year’s 22:45.0. He would be fol-lowed by 16th placed junior Joe Zambetti, who finished at the 22:00.6 mark, also about a minute off his previous time.

“The important thing is that our time gaps are get-ting shorter,” said Head Coach Shawn Thielitz. “We’re not at 100 percent yet.”

Between Pliner’s finish and freshman Ryan Burke’s 20th place finish at 22:04.7, four Pioneers finished. Last year, there was almost a min-ute gap between Carroll’s fast-est and second fastest run-ners.

The women’s side told a similar story. Kaitlin Daugh-erty’s time 20:23.6 finish, while not faster than her 2009 nine time, was fast enough to earn her 12th place. Eight seconds later, Amy Killian finished in 14th.

Nine seconds after Killian, Eden Frazier finished in 19th. Jess Laurin finished with a time of 20:44.1, rounding out a group of Lady Pioneer run-ners that finished within 21 seconds of each other.

“We’re not concerned with place right now,” Thielitz said. “We just want to close our own gaps. That’s our goal.”

The teams have shown an increase in finishing within small groups of time between the 2009 and 2010 seasons.

When Carroll participat-ed in the Sept. 11 Northern Il-linois University Invitational, they placed better as a team, but, more importantly, contin-ued to close their gaps.

Pliner finished in 27:01.8, good enough for 3rd. Meyer, Burke and Zambetti would fin-ish within a minute and a half of Pliner, earning 5th, 11th and 13th respectively. Mitch-ell Penninger was less than ten seconds behind Zambetti with a time of 28:37.95.

“We’ve got a better fifth run-ner than the rest of the confer-ence,” Thielitz said. “We don’t have that drop-off after our fifth or seventh runners.”

For the Lady Pioneers, Daugherty finished in 15th, with a time of 20:18.75. Jessi-ca Laurin, Killian and Marissa Mader would each finish within forty-five seconds of her.

Jenny Garcia and Meg Gan-non 36th and 37th with times of 21.27.5 and 21.31.0 respective-ly.

The Pioneers will partici-pate in the Augustana Brissman-Lunden Invitational. The Sept. 24 meet will be hosted by Au-gustana College in Rock Island, Ill.

“[It’s] a great course,” Thieltiz said. “The footing is good. We’re just hoping for more good weather.”

Last year, the Carroll men took 165th of 25 teams at the Augustana meet. The Women took 9th of 21.

Zambetti finished in 28:14.4 while Daugherty finished with a time of 21:34.4.

“We should make vast im-provements,” Thielitz said. “We want to be ready for [the Mid-west Conference Champion-ship].

Personal times have improved since the 2009 season, but the teams look to improve as the season goes on

Carroll University accomplished something on the football field that hadn’t been done in 12 years. On Sept. 4, the Pioneers won a non-conference road game by beat-ing Lakeland College 35-21.

“We put a goal out there with the guys,” said Car-roll Head Coach Henny Hiemenz. “Carroll hadn’t won a non-conference road game since 1998.”

Carroll used a balanced running attack from junior running backs Joe Beckstrand and Drew Volkmann to keep control of the game and pound the Lakeland de-fense. Beckstrand ran for 133 yards on 22 carries with a touchdown. Volkmann put up 73 yards on 17 rushes and had a touchdown of his own. Senior quarterback Chris Casper also got into the action with a 10-yard touchdown run.

“We want to control the line of scrimmage. We want to run the ball and be able to stop the run. We did a nice job on both of those,” Hiemenz said. “We just took what they were giving us. We were having success with the run game so we stayed with it.”

Casper made sure the offense wasn’t one dimension-al as he went 16-25 with 197 yards and two touchdowns.

Carroll’s run defense was stellar only giving up 20 yards on 24 rushes but the pass defense gave up 269 yards and 2 touchdowns.

“It took us a little while to settle down defensively,” said Hiemenz. “They scored a couple times early. Then we really played sound run defense and pass defense the rest of the game.”

The Pioneers put up 412 yards of offense to Lake-land’s 289. Carroll also won the time of possession 34:08 to 25:52.

“It’s always better to start off winning than losing,”

Hiemenz said. “We played well but certainly there was enough there that the guys know we need to take it up a lot. We didn’t play a perfect game.”

In a game that featured 900 combined yards of of-fenses, the Carroll Pioneers kept the good start to the sea-son with a 34-20 victory over Illinois College in the home opener on Sept. 11.

After a huge effort on the ground against Lakeland College, the Pioneers went the opposite direction and showed that they can be just as good through the air. Car-roll quarterback Chris Casper had 397 passing yards on 23-32 passing with three touchdowns. Casper’s favor-ite target was Kyle Galas who had six receptions for 195 yards and two touchdowns, but Casper did a great job of spreading the ball around completing a pass to seven dif-ferent receivers including Geoff Stuhr who had the other touchdown catch.

Even with the passing game working as well as it did, Carroll still made sure to feed the dynamic duo of Joe Beckstrand and Drew Volkmann. Beckstrand rushed 19 times for 58 yards and a touchdown and Volkmann ran for 56 yards on 16 carries. Even Casper found a way to get involved in the running game putting up 41 yards on 13 carries. Overall, the Pioneers rushed for 169 yards on 49 carries and finished with 566 yards of total offense.

For the second straight week Carroll’s run defense was great, only giving up 44 yards on 21 carries but the passing defense was suspect again letting Illinois College throw for 290 yards on 16-36 passing with 2 touchdowns. The bright spot for the passing defense was two intercep-tions by Nick Swartz and one by Mike Dziewit.

Carroll’s next match will see them host the Beloit Col-lege Buccaneers Sept. 18.
