East Avenue construction will notdisturb the current parade route set forOctober 13th at noon. Susanne Lauer,director of student activities, stated thatthe college did not foresee any problemswith the construction.

According to Lauer, ÒThe construc-tion is scheduled to be done in the firstweek of October. The college is bounc-ing around another parade route butnothing is definite.Ó

Lauer was confident that the citywould work with the college if the con-struction was not finished, just as theyhad when the students were moving oncampus. ÒThe city had moved the con-struction barrels and barricades to allowtraffic to move smoothly that weekend,ÓLauer said.

At this point, the Homecomingparade is scheduled to start line-up onMartin Street at 11:15 on Oct. 13. Theparade starts at noon on South Avenueand goes west toward Clinton Street. Itthen proceeds south on Clinton Street toWisconsin Avenue, and east onWisconsin Avenue to East Avenue.Finally, it heads toward the CarrollCollege campus to the east, where itturns onto Circle Drive in front of OldMain Hall. It rejoins College Avenuebriefly, and then turns onto BarstowStreet. The parade will finish by headingnorth on Barstow Street past Van MaleField and turning west onto Cook Street.

Robb Pattion, general manager ofWaukesha Water Utility, stated theparade will go on the present route thatCarroll has planned. According toPattion, ÒThe project wonÕt be complete-ly done but the main part will be done.ÓWaukesha Water Utilities will work withCarroll to make the parade possible, as

they did before by moving the construc-tion barrels and coordinating traffic withCarrollÕs move-in time.

Pattion stated, ÒA project like thistakes roughly about three to three and ahalf months to complete and costs$433,000.Ó Their four to five crew mem-bers, and in this particular project a con-tractor, are being used for a portion ofthe work. The contractor is boring a hole

under the train track to push a 12inchwater pipe underneath. This saves thecity from tearing up the tracks and pos-sibly costing more money. This is allbeing done to increase the water pipesize from 8inch to 12inch to increase bet-ter service. The project may not be done,but the Carroll Parade will go on.

Homecoming parade route may take detour

Our nationÕs tragedy left many of uswondering what we can do or what weshould feel since September 11.Although shock and anger may havemade it on the list of our initial reac-tions, hopefully now we can see thefolly in violent backlash and on-goingcriticism of our leaders and have beguneducating ourselves, seeking a deeperunderstanding, and perhaps gaining agreater appreciation for life. OneCarroll College alumnus, CommanderDan Shanower, class of 1983 who died inthe attack on the Pentagon onSeptember 11, contained these traitsthat we could all learn from now. One ofhis college buddies, Ken Blue, whopledged opposite fraternities as

Shanower twenty-two years ago atCarroll, told a story that described itwell. ÒI remember Dan as one of themost multifaceted, rich-with-life peopleIÕve ever met. His laughter would carrydown the hall at Swarthout and bringguys out of their rooms. Once, I founda cassette tape in his room, that hemade when he was in high school. Itwas of him singing ÔHonky TonkWomanÕ at the top of his voice. I playedit a couple of times during my stint atWCCX. He was embarrassed andproud... all at once,Ó Blue said, ÒHowironic that now, perhaps even more sothan before the attack on the Pentagonand World Trade Center, we need DanÕstalents and laughter.Ó

ShanowerÕs genuine love of life anddeep care for others motivated him totake on an unpopular job for a college-aged guy, driving school bus for the spe-cial education children in Waukesha.

ShanowerÕs fraternity brother CharlesSee described his special Òuniform.ÓÒHe wore a pink and green plaid pants,a bright red and white striped sportcoat, and a plaid golf hat. One day whenhe stopped at the fraternity house, heran into the house from the bus on hisroute because he had forgotten his wal-let. After taking some joking fromthose of us on the front porch about his

outfit, he ranback to thebus to a loudround ofa p p l a u s efrom thekids. Later,he told usthat the kidsloved seeinghim wear theoutfit, as hehad to assist

them and seat belt them in for the ridehome every day. ÒTo those kids, he wasvery special,Ó See said.

Shanower graduated with a Majorin Politics at Carroll College. Heentered Aviation Officer CandidateSchool in 1985. Two years later, he lostfour of his friends in an operationalaccident; an event that he referred to asÒthe day in which I learned that free-dom isnÕt free.Ó But, instead of holdinga grudge about this event, he wrote anessay for a U.S. Naval Institute publica-tion describing the character of individ-ual and how they came to personify thevirtues honored each Memorial Day.After duties with the Joint IntelligenceCenter in Japan and as the AssistantIntelligence Officer in San Diego,California he went on to work at thePentagon and appeared as a Navyspokesman on CNN and authored sev-eral articles in the

While Carroll students were homefor the summer, the Physical Plant,Custodial, Campus Safety, Residence Lifeand Administration were busy gettingcampus ready for opening weekend. Allaround campus there have been manynew additions and improvements. All ofthe summer renovations totaled $2.4 mil-lion dollars, paid primarily by a bondissue financing and a small percentage byStudent Senate.

The Campus Center, Shattuck Halland Van Male Field house received newroofs this summer.

Many students would agree that theP.I.T. is a wonderful place to go when youwant a quick treat or a greasy pizza toeat. ItÕs conveniently open from 11am-11pm Monday through Friday and from4pm-11pm Saturday and Sunday. Thereare televisions, a pool table, occasionalentertainment and plenty of seating, notto mention the people responsible forkeeping the P.I.T. going. The cashiersare friendly and turn a typical food runinto a beautiful experience for all.

Some students, however, haveexpressed concerns that healthier foodshould be offered. Since then, the P.I.T.has upgraded the menu to include healthconscious foods such as the ham andcheese bagel or the garden burger.When you eat in the P.I.T. as often assome students do, though, these foodsget old fast. This isnÕt talking about expi-ration dates either.

Fortunately for those students,Student Senate has mentioned the ideaof bringing a Subway outlet booth to theP.I.T. Many students have seen or heardof the commercials advertising sevensubs with six grams of fat or less.

When asked about this suggestion,

Student Senate President Brad Nehrbassreplied, ÒItÕs in the very, very beginningstages.Ó Although he emphasized that itwas in the beginning of the process, hedid seem hopeful.

In an interview with the SodexhoDirector John Yatso, excitement wasexpressed about the idea as well. ÒIf itÕssomething the students want and if itÕsfeasible, weÕd be happy to look into it.Ó

The process of looking into it seemsto be quite a bit of work from what Mr.Yatso explained. First, they (Sodexhoand the Student Senate) would have tofigure out what the market for a Subwaywould be. For those who arenÕt businessmajors, this means that they would haveto get an idea of the profit Subway wouldreceive and if it would be worth the trou-ble and money to bring it here.

Next, a representative fromSodexho would go to Subway with theproposal. Subway would then tell him orher what the campus would need as far asspace, coolers, work tables, etc. An idealSubway location would be the P.I.T., pos-sibly where the bar used to be.

ÒThere really hasnÕt been anything

started yet. Dean Rein mentioned it tome, then to Brad. But thatÕs as far asweÕve gotten,Ó said Yatso.

Student surveys will be given out inthe Campus Center on October 4th.These surveys will ask how students feelabout the idea and what kind of servicethey would want from the outlet such aspre-made sandwiches or a ÒSandwichArtistÓ to personalize your submarine.The results from those surveys will giveSodexho and Student Senate an idea ofthe market for a subway, as mentionedearlier. ÒThe food concept could be any-thing, itÕs just a matter of discussion,Ósaid Yatso.

If youÕre excited, which you shouldbe, then fill out the survey. Go to aStudent Senate meeting to hear anyupdates or to express your concerns onthis topic. Their meetings are held everySunday night at 7:00pm in theBoardroom of the Campus Center. IfyouÕre one of those people who canÕt livewithout a cheese pizza from Pizza Hut,donÕt worry- Pizza Hut isnÕt going any-where if Subway is approved.

Carroll College and ColumbiaSchool of Nursing have gone hand inhand for the last 18 years. That affiliationcame to an end last May when Carrollnotified Columbia that they are startinga nursing program right here at Carroll.

According to President Falcone,Carroll has been looking for ways toincrease enrollment. Now that they havereached almost the maximum number ofstudents possible, the most obviousoption was to keep nursing students hereall four years. Usually Carroll nursingstudents spend their first two years hereat Carroll and their last two at Columbiain Milwaukee.

The Board of Trustees andPresident Falcone decided that by keep-ing the nursing students at Carroll, rev-enue to the school will increase. This willalso eliminate the costs of paying salariesof Columbia staff in administration and

registration departments. The newnursing program will be implemented asearly as 2002 for incoming freshman.Students enrolled prior to that will beallowed to finish their education withColumbia, but all ties between the col-leges will end May of 2005.

President Falcone was happy toannounce that this new nursing programwill not infringe upon tuition, and withthe recent addition of CarrollApartments, living space should be suffi-cient. Most of the last two years ofCarrollÕs nursing program will be fieldexperience at Waukesha MemorialHospital, so additional buildings wonÕtbe necessary, but plans of renovating cur-rent buildings seems feasible.

Marian Synder, Dean and CEO ofthe nursing program at Columbia statedthat she is, Òvery disappointedÓ with thedecision, and believes Columbia, whichhas been around of over 100 years, had avery good program for students.Columbia at the moment does not havedefinite plans for the future, but they arelooking at different partners and otherprograms.

Add/Drop Policy changes

Sunday evening, September 23, DebCoates, sophomore, presented the StudentSenate with a proposal stating that stu-dents of sophomore standing or highershould not need their advisorÕs signature toadd or drop a class, especially in the sum-mer months.

Deb wanted to change classes thissummer before the class she would haveliked to take filled up with freshmen, butbecause it was summer vacation her advisorcould not be found. The registrarÕs officetold her she was in the same boat as every-one else. She made the point saying thatthe students know more about their own

personal schedule anyway.In a similar experience, Valerie Gappa,

sophomore, was changing her major lastsummer to biology and needed a new advi-sor to switch classes. The registrarÕs officetold her that she needed to find a biologyprofessor. When she finally found a pro-fessor a month later, all they did was signher card, without looking it over.Consequently, she was put on a waiting listfor her desired classes.

This proposal would include an Òuponreview in the fallÓ policy. This policy wouldgive the advisors a chance to look over theirstudentsÕ schedules as to keep up to date.The Student Senate has tabled the issue forthe time being, but they do support theidea by p lanning to discuss this ussue withthe registrarÕs office.

FEATURES

Imagine a cell phone ringing in classwhile another student fumbles to silenceit, or even answer the phone in time.This may have been an experience in oneof your classes or maybe you were thatstudent, either way the presence of cellphones on the Carroll College campushas become known.

As students the necessity of a cellphone is based on each person and theirindividual wants and needs. Some mayuse them for long distance calling, othersfor safety while driving or walking atnight, for emergencies or just so they canbe reached anywhere anytime. Differentwireless phone companies have plans tofit the various needs of their consumers,including those of students.

When deciding which phone is rightfor you there are many options to consid-er. Your primary calling area is where youwill mainly be making your calls from andyour choices in most cases are local,statewide, regional, and national. If you

travel out of state often, a good planwould include a regional or national call-ing area so you avoid charges when callingfrom out of state.

For those of you who enjoy talkinginto the many hours of the night or thosewho practically never touch a phoneunless necessary, each wireless service hasa variety of plans that will give you whatyour talking habits require. Make sureyour decided number of minutes isenough for you because if you go overyour set number of minutes your servicewill charge you by the minute prices thatcan be extremely high.

Another aspect to remember whenbuying a cell phone is when the anytimeminutes end and when your nighttimeand weekend minutes begin. These timesvary depending on the company you areusing and can range from eight oÕclock atnight to ten at night. This means that youhave to make sure not to use up your any-time minutes before the time your plan isset for otherwise you will be charged forevery minute you use before that set timeuntil your next billing period starts.

When it comes to the extras likevoicemail, caller ID, free long distance

and connection to the wireless web, someplans come with these features at noextra cost, but make sure to find outbefore purchasing. Plan prices are differ-ent with each company so check out youroptions before buying, there are plansfalling within the $30 to $50 price rangethat have an abundance of minutes andfeatures.

Actual phone prices will varydepending on the features that you arelooking for and can range anywhere fromtwenty dollars to hundreds of dollars. Justkeep in mind what you need and in whatprice range you are spending. Rememberthat certain phones are only availablewith particular plans and if your plan ismore advanced than your phone somefeatures may not work. Make sure to askthe salesperson which phone is best foryou and your plan.

Prepaid wireless service is alwaysanother option if you are not interestedin paying a flat monthly fee. With thiskind of service you would be buying yourminutes, as you need them instead of pay-ing for a set number of minutes eachmonth. By using a prepaid plan, you cannever go over your set number of minutes

and be charged, per minute pricing, likeyou can with a regular wireless plan. Ifyou are someone whose talking variesgreatly from month to month this maynot be the best idea if money is an issue.With a prepaid plan minutes are boughtin bulk, which means that you would pos-sibly buy minutes in increments of $20,$30, $50 and maybe higher, as needed.

Although many students on campusnow have cell phones, users believe thatcell phones should be used reasonablyand should be turned off in class.

If you have been thinking of pur-chasing a phone and would like to com-pare phones and plan prices go tohttp://www.letstalk.com, or to the web-site of any wireless service provider.

Here are a few wireless companiesstudents on campus are using:AT&T http://www.attws.comSprint PCS http://www.sprintpcs.comUS Cellular http://www.uscc.comCingular http://cingular.comVerizon (for prepaid and regular service)http://www.verizon.com

ÒTo be able to see the burningtowers from the top floor of my build-ing reminded me of ÒIndependeceDayÓ or similar world tragedymovies.Ó

Crystal Weis was in class at 9 a.m.at New York University when friendsinformed her that they had just wit-nessed a plane crash into the WorldTrade Center. Word quickly spread toeach classmate in every sight. ÒAt10:45 I looked at the SouthernSkyline. The towers were nowhere tobe found. I was confused for aboutten minutes. I didnÕt realize the truemagnitude of events that justoccured.Ó

Many other students werenÕt cog-nizant of a terroist attack...until thesecond plane hit. ÒI know it seemsirrational, but students kept askingeach other if this was really going on.Being there, watching both planescrash, and shortly thereafter watchingeach tower collapse to the ground was

the most surreal tragedy one couldever imagine.Ó

Students received updates everycouple of hours informing them ofcounseling sessions offered, and con-tact numbers for students missingfamily members or friends. A studentfrom CrystalÕs morning class rushed tocontact his father, who worked on the70th floor of the World Trade Center.Professors excused him for the rest ofthe day.

New York City was truly in sham-bles. Celluar phones didnÕt function,so every payphone on the street wasoccupied by frantic New Yorkers con-tacting loved ones. Broadway and sur-rounding streets were a bare sight, asif the end of the world had justoccured. Smoke and ash made its waydown to campus where students werestrictly advised to ÒKeep your win-dows closed!Ó Many students couldnot breathe, and complained ofsmelling and tasting the horribleaftermath.

Most of the UniversityÕs buildingsare located around 4th Street, nearWashington Square. For the next fewdays streets number below 14th Street

were closed off and only accessible toresidents. Crystal explained, ÒEventhough we were only a mile away fromthe tragedy, we couldnÕt do anythingto help! It was a terrible feeling.Ó

After the tragedy ceased, thereexisted an unbelievable line of NewYorkers anxiously waiting in theparching sun to donate their blood tovictims. ÒIt wrapped around blocks,ÓCrystal stated. ÒEvery New Yorkertruly pulled together at this momentin time.Ó

By Sept. 15, classes resumed atNYU. And New York slowly but sure-ly began to gain back its infamous rep-utation of the Òseen it all, rough andtoughÓ city. ÒPeople are actually wait-ing for the ÒWalkÓ signs before theycross the street,Ó Crystal stated.Vigils and makeshift memorialssprung up at all surrounding parks.Posters reading, ÒHelp us find JaneDoe,Ó and ÒCall me if you saw thiswoman on the stairs that dayÓ areposted on every street corner. Whenasked if student nightlife had changedduring this ever changing week ofevents, Crystal responded, ÒStudentswere only leaving their dorms to go

eat, attend a vigil, or to donate blood.ÓOne dormitory was left with onlyseven residents remaining. Somewent home to relatives, others just leftto escape the city.

ItÕs quite possible that if one wereto walk down these same streets todaythey would see three major standoutcolors on each individual: red, whiteand blue.

ÒAmerican flags, pins, bandanas,shirts, you name it lines the streetslike nothing IÕve ever seen before!ÓCrystal exclaimed. One student evenwitnessed a woman in Union Squaredressed, painted, and posed in greenportraying the Statue of Liberty.

NYU is still offering various lec-tures and discussions concerning themany aspects of this tragedy, open toall students, American andInternational. Crystal Weis showedgreat empathy and patriotism to vic-tims and fellow students during thisweek of intense crisis. She proudlystates, ÒItÕs made me realize how trulyproud I am to be an American.Ó

EDITORIALS

Many, many questions are beingasked about Sept. 11Õs horrific terroristattacks across our nation. In our confu-sion, our pain and our disgust, many of ushave turned towards a Higher realm foranswers to those questions.

Five years ago I went through anintensive and agonizing introspectiveperiod in my life that resulted in anembrace of spirituality. Through thisÒdark night of the soulÓ I learned an insur-mountable amount of valuable informa-tion pertaining to the metaphysical. Withbooks, music, classes, discussion groups,and other mediums, I believe that a high-er power, or God as I choose to call It,was communicating to me the deepestsecrets of our lives on this earth and ourplace in the universe.

Although I do not have the arro-gance to call myself an expert in theworld of spirituality or metaphysics, I dobelieve that I have wisdom beyond thatof the average Joe. I credit the graces ofGod for that knowledge. These are thesort of things you cannot learn from atextbook or a college course. You mustcome to this on your own, and God ismore than willing to be your instructor.

I think that as a nation we havecome to that point. I believe that we arenow open to learning the lessons that areimperative not only for our salvation, butfor our survival.

From a spiritual perspective I wouldlike to share with you my opinion as towhy I believe the terrible tragedies inNew York and Washington took place. Ihave learned that there is a reason behindeverything that takes place in our lives,the good and the bad, and that it is up tous whether or not we learn from thoseexperiences.

Let me start at the beginning.Literally.

When we came to this planet calledEarth we were given a gift from God.That gift is called Òfree willÓ or Òchoice.ÓWe were allowed to use this gift in anyway we so desired. This is the way it hasbeen and forever shall be.

There are two paths we can choosefrom: one path is paved with love, theother is paved with fear. Those who livehappy, fulfilling and prosperous lives arethe people who have chosen Òthe roadless traveled;Ó one of love. Individualswho are filled with anger, jealousy, resent-

ment and rage are those who have chosena road of fear.

Throughout the millennia we havestruggled, as a human race, with thesepolarities. You can pinpoint where in ourhistory we have chosen one or the other:fear or love.

Today we are facing those choicesonce more. The question becomes: Willwe act out of a loving manner which isGodÕs preference or will we act out offear, which is the opposite of our Creator?

A choice made out of love or achoice made from fear results in a Òconse-quence.Ó Consequences are ultimatelythe learning tools designed for us toeither move forward into a life of love ora life ruled by fear. Sadly, many of us donot learn the invaluable lessons theseconsequences bring.

Hence tragedies like the ones thattook place September 11. Apparently wedid not learn from the first two WorldWars, from Vietnam to the Gulf Wars,from Oklahoma to Columbine. Each ofthese terrors have been clarion calls froma Father who created us in His ownimage: from love. It is GodÕs deepestdesire that we all make the Highestchoice in our lives, no matter what we dofor a living, what kind of car we drive, orwhat college we attend.

Something that I think people strug-gle with is the concept of a God that is soseemingly absent from our lives. We canÕtsee God, touch God or hear God in theliteral sense, but let me assure you thatHe is there. All the time . The question isdo you seek Him out?

We live in absolutely hectic, tryingtimes. We are so caught up in makingends meet that the subject of spiritualitytakes a back row seat to paying the bills,getting the kids off to school, puttingfood on the table, etc. We are often timesharried, stressed, and frustrated beyondbelief.

With our lives being this difficult youwould think that most of us would seeksolace, serenity and simplicity. There arevarious ways to find those things outsideof ourselves vacations, material posses-sions, sex, drugs, drink, money, power ~but we discover all those things are justthings. When we come to this revelation,we seek inside ourselves for the answers.

Inside our heart is where Godresides. Our ÒsoulÓ is the connection tothe higher realms of the universe. It iswithin our soul that the answers to all ourstruggles, all our frustrations, all ourordeals lie.

God is crying out for us all to go

within our hearts and souls for solutionsto this current crisis. He is more thanwilling to greet us there with the answerswe seek. Will we do this, He wonders.Given our free will, it is entirely up to us.

It is not GodÕs will for innocent peo-ple to die at the hands of evil. God wantsus to love one another. Our mission onthis earthly plane is to create an Eden.We have done remarkably well in the pastcentury doing so technologically we haveour cell phones, DVD players, ourInternet but on a spiritual level we havefallen short. And we are falling even fur-ther now.

The thousands of souls that passedover on Sept. 11, and the countless morewho will most likely follow in the impos-ing war to come, all sacrificed their phys-ical lives to teach us the lesson of loveGod wants us so desperately to learn.

If we do not learn from the unfortu-nate incidents in New York andWashington, what horrendous crime willneed to take place before we heed Hiscall? What unthinkable act againsthumanity will have to occur before webegin to act out of His love?

For heavenÕs sake, let us all changethe way we go about our day by lovingeach other. No more anger, prejudice,judgment, or hatred. Ultimately mindsset on compassion, forgiveness and lovewill heal this planet, not vengeful attackson foreign nations.

It is my hope that any one who readsthis material will take it to heart and actupon it. If we do not do so, the conse-quences I spoke of earlier will be dire andthe most un-Godly result of our gift offree will.

Why God allowed for the tragedies in America to take place

As I sat back one week ago trying toconceive an idea on which to write thiseditorial, nothing could enter my mindbut the terrible tragedy that is now overthree weeks past. Though the profes-sional and college sporting events havecontinued game play, the airplanes onceagain cover our skies, and our flags onceagain fly at full staff, the events are farfrom being forgotten by Americans.

In the wake of the events of Sept. 11,America has continued day in and dayout to show whomever is behind theattacks that we will stand united throughanything. Whether it be here at CarrollCollege, oversees in other countries, orright there in New York City andWashington D.C., the world and nationhave both joined together to support theefforts of those still trying to unbury therubble.

More than $2500 was raised oncampus, several top celebrities joinedtogether on a multi-network telethon tocollect money for the efforts and severalprofessional sports teams have donated aday of their salary to the relief fund.Michael Jordan delayed his return to theNBA a week, but then announced thathe would be donating his entire salaryfrom the first year of his contract withthe Washington Wizards, more than $1

million, to the ongoing endeavor.In the past three weeks I have wit-

nessed things that will touch my heartand my soul forever.

As I sat back and stared at the TVscreen in the days following the attacksand watched the changing of the guard inEngland play the Star Spangled Banner,shivers went up my spine. The sameoccurred as I watched the ceremony infront of the capitol building in Canada asthe Prime Minister joined the largecrowds that gathered to sing our nation-al anthem in support of their borderingneighbors.

As I attended a Milwaukee Brewersgame almost two weeks after, the feelinginside Miller Park was unbelievable.Following a moment of silence, thereplay monitor showed images of NewYork and Washington, followed by a shotof President George W. Bush throwingout the first pitch at Miller Park at thebeginning of this season, to which rosean immediate standing ovation. Chantsof ÒUSA, USA, USAÓ were started in amatter of minutes, many times fasterthan any attempt at starting the waveever would have succeeded.

The lasting effects of this tragedywill never be over in the minds ofAmericans, but I only hope that theunity we have shown in these past weekscontinues long into the future as we allremember the worst attack and threat inour nationÕs long history.

Americans unite with world

Shock. Horror. Disbelief. Like manyof you who have witnessed the terrorunfold before our eyes and the aftermathof destruction, I sat in disbelief at themassive physical and symbolic attack onour nation. Though I was fortunate not tohave any family or friends at the WorldTrade Center or the Pentagon, I felt a pro-found sense of anguish and emptiness atthe tragic loss of my fellow Americans andthe severance of family bonds for thoseleft behind. I still struggle with a personalsense of overwhelming diminishment forour collective loss. Though natural reac-tions, this is of course what terrorists hopeto instill, and building on such grief thenhope to foster fragmentation, disunityand fear.

Like many of you though, I have alsowitnessed the vast majority of Americansredefine what it means to be heroic andunited, both in dramatic moments ofcourage and in those many smallmoments of simple human compassion,an extension of help and hope to thosewho are suffering. I have been feeling evenmore pride in our nation as of late as aresult of such actions and spirit. I remainoptimistic that there is a resolution to the

challenge which terrorism poses to all civ-ilization and peaceloving people every-where. This is, of course, what terroristsdo not want to occur. Steely resolve, tem-pered with compassion, and above all avalue for human life is something that per-haps terrorists may not fully comprehendbut what is needed today more than ever.

My thoughts have also come to restupon a cold, grey fall day when individualshoping to shock our nation and causepanic and collapse to our way of life gavetheir lives in a planned explosion, whichrocked Wall Street, causing death andinjuries to dozens of Americans not tomention destruction of buildings that hadcome to be associated with a growing U.S.financial might.

Though this terrorist suicide bomb-ing occurred in 1910, and those martyrswere called anarchists and not terroriststhe parallel remains eerily similar. Weasked similar questions like who werethese people? What values and beliefs didthey embrace that impelled them to causesuch harm? What could possibly warrantsomeone to willingly and knowingly giveup their life to take the lives of others?And of course, the inevitable questionslike why were we so vulnerable to such anattack and why did parts of the world seekto inflict such pain and harm upon us as apeople?

Today, in the aftermath, as we have

readied for a military confrontation,which to our regret may be unavoidable,we prepare to send American soldiers toface an enemy unlike recent times. Wemust confront tough, even painful ques-tions, about how we conduct ourselves inthe world, our impact upon others and ofcourse, where do we go from here? Whatwill we, as a nation, stand for to thefuture?

Freedom. Liberty. Equality. The corevalues that animate our democracy, andgave birth to our nation, continue toinspire us, are those very values that arefrequently viewed by our enemies as ourachilles heel. These values tend to fosteropen and honest debate, access to our cor-ridors of power, knowledge of who we areand what we desire as a nation. There is asaying in war that the enemy you know iseasier to defeat than the phantom thatyou donÕt know. Yet, we must continue toensure that these values we say we cherishmust be the values that actually guide ourdeeds. We are already struggling to strikea balance between freedom and restric-tions, between open debate and security,between compassion for the victims andvengeance towards our enemies. Just asthe day will come when we witness therebuilding of the World Trade Center, ourcore values must inspire and guide us torecommit to the ideals that our nationwas founded upon.

As we again confront similar ques-tions that faced us in 1910, and in 1941,that fateful day in Pearl Harbor, thecourage we now need to show as allAmericans are willing to ask painful ques-tions about ourselves and our resolve andwillingness to accept honest answers willtruly test our mettle. Truly test what itmeans to be an American. Deeds notwords will be our judge.

I know these past few weeks havebeen difficult for all of us, and perhapsespecially so for our students who it hasseemed continue to be robbed of whatshould be the more innocent and excitingtimes of their lives. However, I encourageall to openly discuss and debate whatshould be done in the short-term, whatmay need to be changed in the long-term.Share your concerns, fears and hopes withyour friends, faculty and family. That iswhy we are here, to seek answers collec-tively. I remain convinced that though ourenemies will hope that our basic belief inourselves and commitment to a demo-cratic way of life will crumble just as thebuildings in New York City did, the spiritand resolve which support such ideals willremain truly indomitable. May our creatorguide us as we move forward in theseuncharted waters.

Terrorism shook us, but our foundation stands strong

BY GREG RABIDOUXSpecial to The New Perspective

Through the gospel writer, Matthew,Jesus of Nazareth leaves us some prettychallenging words to consider in theÒparable of the laborers in the vineyardÓ.This first gospel (good news) of theÒNew TestamentÓ, Òsecond covenantÓ,ÒGreek scripturesÓ, in the opening versesof chapter 20, tells of Jesus telling thissometimes bothersome story:

ÒFor the kingdom of heaven is like alandowner who went out early in themorning to hire laborers for his vine-yard.Ó These laborers were the guys whohung around the market waiting for justthis very opportunity to work for a day,earn a dayÕs wages, get paid at the end ofthe day, and be dropped off back downtown. ItÕs hot work, but someone indeedhas to do it, and a little bit of pay is bet-ter than no pay at all. So, hey, for a dayÕswages for a dayÕs work, letÕs go for it!

Off went the first band of laborersto work in the vineyard at say, around 7a.m. The vineyard keeper went back tothe market around 9 a.m. and sent somemore laborers into the vineyard to work,saying ÒIÕll pay you whatever is right.ÓAnd the pattern repeats at Òabout noonand about three oÕclockÓ and then atabout 5 p.m. as well.

Hot day, typical work. Eveningcomes. Stand in line to receive your pay.

Hey, now, just wait one minute!WhatÕs happening here?

Yep, thatÕs right. The landownerfirst calls forward the laborers who cameto work at 5 pm. And he paid them a fulldayÕs wage. Cool!

Then the workers who started at 3p.m., then those who came to work atnoon. And the landowner paid them alla dayÕs wage, too. No unions. No writ-ten contracts. Just the agreementbetween the landowner and the differentshifts of workers to pay them Òwhat wasright.Ó

Now can you imagine? The workers

who worked all day certainly had logicalgrounds for a complaint, and complain,they did. ÒThese last worked only onehour, and you have made them equal tous who have borne the burden of the dayand the scorching heat.Ó

And to them the landowner replied,ÒFriend (yeah, right!) I am doing you nowrong; did you not agree with me for theusual daily wage? Take what belongs toyou and go; I choose to give to this lastthe same as I give to you. Am I notallowed to do what I choose with whatbelongs to me? Or are you enviousbecause I am generous?Ó

This parable is food for thought, andfodder for a lively discussion. It flies inthe face of our usual capitalist under-standing of quid pro quo. This for that isthe more acceptable way of doing com-merce. Work for an hour, get paid for anhour. Work for a day, get paid for ALLthe hours in the day. And if you donÕtwork the full day, you donÕt get a full dayÕswage. Sounds right.

And itÕs the way weÕre inclined to do

our theology, too. We want to think thatGodÕs ÒjusticeÓ and ÒfairnessÓ are alsoÒequalityÓ. And we want to think of Godas a just, fair, equal sort of deity whorewards us according to the time weÕveput in being faithful ÒlaborersÓ at work inÒthe vineyardÓ. Imagine for a minute orthree, just what the world might be likeif we trusted in a God who was so gener-ous as the landowner in the parable.ÒGenerousÓ is not often on the tips ofour tongues when we think of justice,fairness, and equality. But, apparentlyaccording to this parable of Jesus, weÕrecalled on to believe in God who is gener-ous. We might believe that God calls onus to be generous just like that, too.

MatthewÕs paragraph ends withverse 16, where Jesus is quoted: ÒSo thelast will be first, and the first will be last.Ó

I hope, dear reader, that this soundslike good news.

Bible Stories 101: Fairness and generosity, hand in hand

BY REV. WILLIAM HUMPHREYSSpecial to The New Perspective

Maybe youÕre reading this justbecause itÕs not another article on theevents of Sept. 11. Hopefully youÕre read-ing this because youÕve got a sincereinterest in things diverse.

LetÕs take a look at last weekÕsDiversity Forum, held on Sept. 26 in theBallroom. HereÕs what happened:

Five people gave speeches at theforum, myself included, on topics includ-ing: a call to action, how to listen to peo-ple better, celebration versus toleranceand commonality.

Many audience members voicedreactions to the speeches or sounded offabout other topics relating to diversity.Some of the reactions were, "I donÕtwant to be tolerated. DonÕt tolerate me,"and "If we take away homo, hetero andbi, we are all just sexual," and "Getinvolved."

At least 120 people attended andtook literature associated with theforum. Only one of the attendees was amember of the senior staff Ð Thank you,Lynne Bernier.

Getting 120 people to go to anyevent at Carroll College (with the excep-tion of those that offer free stuff or big-name entertainment) is an accomplish-ment itself. However, there was some-thing missing, the same something thatwas missing at last yearÕs forum.

Yes, again the cry came forth,"Where is Frank Falcone?"

First, it was stated subtly by posingthe question - how do we expect to getour message out if those who make deci-sions at our college are not in atten-dance?

Then, it was expressed as disap-pointment that not more faculty andstaff, especially those in positions ofpower, were in attendance.

Finally, a boisterous student put anend to beating-around-the-bush. "This isan institution. This institution has apresident. Where is our President?"

So, Dr. Falcone, where were you?

This question has not died since theforumÕs end. It was posed to me today,and has been every day since.

There are those who are just ridingthe diversity wave, but there are alsopeople who understand that diversity isnot a fad, trend, or buzz word. Diversityis not something that gets taken care of.It doesnÕt go away. We can help reducefriction between people of difference,but diversity, much like sidewalks andoxygen, surrounds us every day.

I may be repeating some of thethings said at the forum, but in order toget the message out, to help those whocouldnÕt make it to the forum, for what-ever reason, IÕm repeating this message.It deserves repeating, and it deserves aforum next year, and for 20 years after.

Do you not get it? Areyou someone who doesnÕtunderstand what all thefuss is about? You shouldhave been at the forum,too, and dragged yourroommate, who was takinga nap at the time, alongwith you.

Well, thatÕs enough ofshoulda, woulda, coulda.HereÕs what you can doNOW.

Following the forum, adiversity committee, newlyestablished by StudentSenate for anyone interest-ed (you donÕt have to be asenator for this one, folks)had itÕs first meeting onMonday, Oct. 1. This com-mittee will meet again, so if

youÕre interested, contact Katie Larson,committee chair, at krlarson@cc.edu.

Or, feel free to contact my e-mail,sschleic@cc.edu. IÕm sure I can findsomething related to diversity for you toget involved in. That means doing some-thing, not sitting around in a room talk-ing about what it means. IÕll solve themystery for you right now Ð diversity isabout people.

I would like to end this editorial ona positive note by thanking all of thosewho attended. I usually donÕt like to dothank-youÕs because you always forgetsomeone, but here goes: StudentDevelopment, Education, English,Politics, and Spanish Departments, stu-dents, staff, faculty and everyone else inattendance. Sorry if I forgot you! Yourpresence was appreciated nonetheless.

FootballAfter a third place (5-4) finish in the

Midwest Conference last season, first-yearhead coach Jeff Voris and the 56 membersof the Pioneer football team are looking tocontinue CarrollÕs recent history of gridironsupremacy.

In order to do this, however, the teamwill need to overcome the persistent obsta-cle of the season: position depth. ThisyearÕs preseason training camp witnessed ahandful of would-be players drop out orsuffer season-ending injuries, leaving somepositions with one or no backups. ThePioneers now hold an 0-3 overall recordafter two close defeats. In the season open-er on Sept. 8, the team lost to non-confer-ence opponent North Park College 13-3.Carroll then suffered a 38-26 conferenceloss to Ripon College Sept. 22. Carroll lostto Grinnell on Saturday 54-27.

MenÕs soccerThe Carroll menÕs soccer team is off to

a solid start, maintaining a 2-1 conferencerecord and a 4-2 overall record. The teamfinished in eighth place with a 3-6 confer-ence record last season.

With the 2001 season still fresh and asolid record to date, head coach RickMobley and the teamÕs 27 players are keep-

ing their eyes on the prize Ð a trip to theMidwest Conference Tournament. Inorder to accomplish this goal, the teammust win at least four more conferencegames.

Although a preseason poll predictedthe team to finish in seventh place, Mobleybelieves his players have more to offer.

ÒThis yearÕs team is much more talent-ed from top to bottom than [CarrollÕs]teams in the past,Ó he said. ÒIn addition tobeing bigger and faster, they are also moreskillful.Ó

The coach said his key players are jun-ior forward Joe Snyder, sophomore goal-keeper Dan Peplinski and junior defenderAaron Manske.

ÒWe probably have more depth thanany other team in the conference,Ó Mobleysaid. ÒWe also possess pretty good teamspeed and big defenders that are good inthe air.Ó

ÒI think right now they understand(our new zone defense scheme) very welland are beginning to excel in it,Ó he added.

Cross countryAccording to head coach Rich Vargas,

the 11-member menÕs cross country team,which finished in eighth place last season, isexpected to finish in the top five in theMidwest Conference this year. ThewomenÕs team, on the other hand, shouldfinish in the top three. The women cap-tured the conference trophy in the 2000season.

At the Elmhurst Earlybird InvitationalSept. 1, the Carroll menÕs team capturedninth place out of 16 teams, while thewomen took sixth place out of 18 teams.

Vargas said his goals for the season areto have his runners run their best when itcounts and give their best effort duringevery meet.

ÒWe compete against the best collegesaround,Ó Vargas said. ÒThat means that weget beat a lot, but that also means that thekids go faster when it counts.Ó

He stressed there are no key runnerson his team, saying, ÒEverybody on theteam is a key player. We need each other towin.Ó

WomenÕs soccerFirst-year head coach Jason

Bretzmann has nothing but good things tosay about the Carroll womenÕs soccer team.

ÒThe people who are on the team arejust great people,Ó he said. ÒItÕs a great treatto be with them every day. Their positiveattitude, their willingness to try somethingnew and their desire to win is impressive.Ó

Thus far, the 20-member team hascompiled a 3-1 conference record and a 6-1overall record under BretzmannÕs leader-ship, hinting the team is stronger than itwas last year. The 2000 team finished 4-5 inconference play.

The team is on pace to achieve itsgoals of winning at least 10 games and mak-ing the Midwest Conference Tournament.After seven of 15 regular season games, the

team has scored 90 percent of the goalsscored last year.

ÒWe donÕt see any reason that we canÕtwin every game,Ó the coach said.

Bretzmann said his key players areJune Fitzpatrick, Rachel Akers, BeckyMeier and Sara Werner.

ÒEvery person on our team is essentialto our program right now,Ó he added. ÒIttakes all of us to make a successful team.Ó

WomenÕs tennisThe 10-member Carroll womenÕs ten-

nis team is off to an impressive start, com-piling a 4-1 conference record and a 6-2

overall record.

OÕ Neil,desperate for money and up against a wall,agrees to coach a little league team of kidsfrom ChicagoÕs Cabrini Green Projects.Too indulged by his own problems(Reeves) keeps in search of the big win, butsidetracked by the kidsÕ teacher, (DianeLane), he finds himself smitten and eventrying to do the right thing. The overall

story paints a frightening reality of innercity youth and their daily trials, from try-ing to get home before sunset to hopingsomeone will believe in them and stand upfor them. ReeveÕs character proves to bethat stand up guy but when it comes tocrunch time he has to make a decisionbetween his needs and whatÕs right. Withone last bet that can either break him ormake him he dares to turn things around.This film presents a fresh look, and heart-warming tale of kidsÕ that needed some-thing better and needed someone tobelieve in them. While being called theDangerous Minds of the baseball field,Hardball carries with it a strong chemistrybetween Reeves and the children and acute romantic sideline with Lane. Theoverall message is making something goodout of something bad and to never let fearget the best of you. Hardball teaches a hardlesson.

SPORTS

Looking back at the tragedies oflast month, the world of sports doesnot seem nearly as important anymore.I actually did not really care if there wasgoing to be another game again. Ifound it very difficult to think of sportsright after the attacks. When Ithought of the fact that thousands ofmy countrymen had just died a simpleguide did not seem nearly as importantas it had the previous day. However, lifemust go on and this includes the worldof sports.

I strongly believe the NationalFootball League, most major collegeconferences, and Major LeagueBaseball did the right thing by postpon-ing their sporting events for a week ormore. This nation needed time tomourn and to pray for the victims andtheir families. Some people argued theevents shound have been held in orderto give America something to get theirminds off the tragedies for a few hours.If the games would have been played, Ifeel it would have been a disgrace forAmerica. The country was just notready for sports only a couple of days

after the attacks. Many people werestill in shock over what happened andin mourning for the dead. Also, theathletes were in no mental shape toplay. I canÕt blame them either. I could-nÕt imagine having to go out and play agame, which seems meaningless after atragedy of this magnitude.

When the sports world continuedaction, the atmosphere was dramatical-ly different. There was, and still is, atremendous sense of patriotism flowingthrough the stadiums. Before everygame you can look around and see sev-eral people waving an American flag orwearing clothing covered in red, whiteand blue. Also, the National Anthem,which was often just another thingthathappened before sporting events, hasbecome almost a bigger event than thegame itself. Just a couple of weeks agoI attended a Milwaukee Brewers gameat Miller Park. I had chills moving upand down my spine all night long as Iwatched the game. With every chant ofÒUSA, USA, USAÓ and every time I sawa flag waving a new chill was sent up myspine. I was amazed at the sense ofpatriotism the country had. Even atsporting events the citizens of Americacountinued to unite and praise theircountry.

Initially I did not know the coun-try would react to the resumption ofsporting events, but I am very pleasant-ly surprised at the reaction of theAmerican people. I am extremelyhappy that sports resumed and Ibelieve it was the right thing forAmerica to get back to a normallifestyle. I just hope the feeling ofpatriotism that is so strong right nowwill remain for years to come.

Sports fans happy to return

The team finished in third place inboth of the last two seasons. This year, headcoach Jennifer Kools expects the team tofinish in second or third place.

In order to get into the championshipplayoffs, however, the team must beatRipon College, a tough team, in KoolsÕopinion. Another possible foe for thePioneers will be Beloit College, whichKools describes as Òextremely tough.Ó

Her goals for her players are to playmore aggressively, be in their best physicaland mental shape, finish in the top four inthe Midwest Conference, maintain a cohe-

sive team on and off the court, representthe college positively and, above all, to win.

This yearÕs key players are senior JaclynSturman, freshman Lauren Young and jun-ior Katherine Colby, the coach said.

Kools said her teamÕs advantages thisseason are its good sportsmanship and solidtalent throughout the lineup.

VolleyballA 16-19 overall record and a third place

conference finish last season will give theCarroll womenÕs volleyball team the confi-dence it will need to reach head coachDavid MacIntyreÕs hope of finishing in the

Midwest ConferenceÕs top four.MacIntyre said a top four finish is pos-

sible for two reasons: (1) the overall talent ofthe team, and (2) CarrollÕs hosting of theconference tournament Nov. 2-3.

Currently, the 12-member team holdsan 0-1 conference record and a 4-6 overallrecord.

ÒWe are most successful as a teamwhen everyone plays well,Ó MacIntyre said.ÒEvery win will be a team effort.Ó

The coach said his goals for the seasonare to play confidently, competitively andaggressively. He also hopes each player willsee improvement in her skills and enjoy

playing the game.ÒOur leadership and team cohesion

this year is very strong,Ó he said. ÒI thinkthat those two aspects have improved eachof the past few years.Ó

The teamÕs key players include seniorcaptains Michelle Beardsley and TrishaHolland, MacIntyre said.

ÒIf we can run a consistent, quickoffense, we will have an advantage overother teams,Ó he added.

WomenÕs golf coach Becky Thomas couldnot be reached for comment. Look for addition-al information in a future issue of The NewPerspective.
