As most Americans awoke to theirnormal routines Tuesday, Sept. 11, a seriesof tragedies were unfolding in dramaticfashion on the nationÕs east coast.

Glued to their televisions, Americancitizens watched as thousands of lives werelost after two airplanes crashed into theWorld Trade Center in Manhattan, sendingboth towers to the ground. The samemorning, a third airplane smashed into thePentagon.

For nearly a week, the country was allbut shut down. Schools and colleges wereclosed. National monuments and tall build-ings were evacuated. All air traffic wasordered to land and the Mexican andCanadian borders were sealed.

Responding to the tragedies, numer-

ous efforts have kick-started within theCarroll College community, seeking toraise money for the American Red Cross,donate blood for the injured and begin thecollective healing process.

On campus and across the nation,flags flew at half-staff as more than 250 peo-ple from the college and the Waukesha areagathered in Shattuck Auditorium theevening of Sept. 11 to pray, share thoughtsand call for tranquility.

Making appearances were a fewprominent members of the community,including Waukesha Mayor CarolLombardi and Waukesha CountyExecutive Dan Finley.

ÒWeÕre here this evening to pray forthe victims, their families, the workers andour country,Ó Finley said.

The mayor said she believes thetragedies will not have a negative effect on

Some of us believe that one testscore couldnÕt possibly measure all of theintelligence that one individual possess-es. Others, however, feel that that scoredefines them for the rest of their liveswhether or not they did well. Whatexactly is considered a good score on acollege entrance exam? Most studentslook to other classmates to make com-parisons when the results came back.Some students regard their scores asgood or bad depending on whether theygrant them acceptance to their school ofchoice. Still, others look to the averagescores of students their age in the UnitedStates as a whole. Before we get any fur-ther, letÕs discuss exactly what collegeentrance exams measure, since we surely

know what they are by now, and whichmost students here at Carroll College arefamiliar with.

Most students at Carroll Collegetook the ACT (American CollegeTesting) test. The other college entranceexam is known as the SAT (StandardAchievement Test). WeÕll focus solely onthe ACT however since this is the testpreferred by most Midwestern collegesand universities.

The ACT assessment is a curricu-lum-based achievement test that meas-ures students on their cumulative knowl-edge in school. The test measures, inparticular, skills that students have infour academic areas- English, ReadingComprehension, Mathematics andScience Reasoning. The ACT is scoredon a scale of 1 to 36, with 36 being thehighest possible score. ACT scores are

used to place incoming freshmen intoclasses in which they are prepared to dowell. This is one of the most importantgoals of the ACT. Lack of preparednessfor college-level work is probably thebiggest reasons that freshmen leaveschool before their second year.

Now, if you think back to your sen-ior year in high school when you werebusy filling out college applications youmight remember that for Carroll, theapplicant must have scored at least a 21on the ACT to be accepted. Rightfullyso, the average ACT score of the incom-ing freshmen class was 23.4. This is thesame average as last yearÕs incomingfreshmen, according to James Wiseman,Carroll CollegeÕs Vice President.

So, moving on we can tell that stu-dents at Carroll College scored a littlehigher than the stateÕs average which was22.2 as listed in the 2001 ACT Nationaland State Scores. WisconsinÕs averageplaced us at fourth in the nation tiedwith New York and Vermont. Finally,when we look at the larger scale ofthings, Carroll students scored 2.4 pointshigher than the national average, 21.0.

According to the National PressRelease from the ACT Newsroom, Òtheaverage national ACT composite scoreheld steady at 21.0 for the fifth straightyearÉresults indicate that nearly half ofcollege-bound students have scores

within the range of those typicallyrequired for admission to most selectiveor highly selective colleges. At the sametime, 18 percent - nearly one in five -have scores that indicate they are notready for college-level coursework.Ó

This score hasnÕt declined in 12 yearseven though the number of students tak-ing the test has grown dramatically-near-ly 30% during the past 12 years.

ÒWe are likely adding students fromacross a wider academic range than inpervious years, including some studentswho might not have considered going tocollege in the past. In this light, the factthat the average ACT score has eithergrown or stayed steady over the pastdecade is quite positive,Ó said ACTPresident Richard L. Ferguson.

The state with the highest score isOregon at 22.6. Washington came insecond with a 22.4 while NewHampshire scored third with a 22.3.New York, Vermont and Wisconsin tiedat fourth in the nation with an average of22.2. Minnesota scored an average 22.1placing it at fifth in nation. States withthe lowest scores are South Carolina(19.3), Mississippi (18.5) and WashingtonD.C. (17.4).

Blood banks overflow, donationspour in, workers search through the rub-ble, and President Bush visits the victims.The active response to the Sept. 11 eventshas been overwhelming, but what arepeople saying?

"My initial response was like every-one else, shock, hoping that my seven rel-atives that were in New York City wereall okay," sophomore Barbara Hartzogsaid. "And fortunately, they are."

People are sharing stories of some-one they know who was in involved inone way or another.

"Absolute disbelief," Politics profes-

sor Dr. Lelan McLemore responded. Hecontinued, saying it is something that weexpect, but when it happens, it is unbe-lievable.

People are expressing confusion atthe difficulty of comprehending suchacts.

"I would say the initial reaction wasone of surprise, shock, horror, and sort ofblood-lusting let's go get 'em," juniorJesse Gant said.

People are experiencing fear andanger about how the country will respondto the horrific acts of terrorism.

No one seems to be quite sure howand when the situation will be resolved.What people are sure of is that thingshave changed forever.

"You guys all came of age two daysago," Director of the Civil War InstituteLance Herdegen said at last Thursday's

forum, ÒAttack on America.Ó The younger generation also have

come together. More than 200 peopleattended the candle light vigil on Mainlawn last Friday. People sat on theirporches or stood out by the road, candlesand flags in hand, in remembrance ofeveryone affected.

Some used the vigil for peace.Hartzog feels the answer is peaceful reso-lution, or using "the least violence possi-ble." Others saw it as a sign of unity,which comes more in times of trial.

Dr. McLemore said it "reminds us ofwhat we have in common," in referenceto trying times. He compared society to afamily, quarreling at times, but unitingwhen threatened by an outsider.

People are talking about manythings. What the topic of discussion willbe until the government makes a decision

is the outcome."I don't think you can really pinpoint

who did this, or, if we can, if you kill oneguy, you're just going to make a martyr,"Gant continued, "So it's kind of a losingsituation. I guess nobody really wins."

the city of Waukesha, and they will actual-ly Òunite the community as never before.Ó

ÒCommunity is where safety is,ÓLombardi said, Òand we are that communi-ty.Ó

During the gathering, the people inattendance were given an opportunity toshare thoughts or prayers into a micro-phone. Numerous Carroll students andWaukesha residents took part.

ÒThe wake-up call is that you donÕtknow how much longer you have on thisearthÉthe roof could collapse right now,Óone man said.

CarrollÕs Student Senate President,Brad Nehrbass, also spoke, asking thecrowd to donate blood and help whereverpossible.

ÒThis is a time of unity, this is a time oftogetherness, and IÕm asking the studentsof Carroll College to come together inunity,Ó Nehrbass said. ÒBe thankful for whatyou have, but still always remember andpray for the people who are going throughthis right now.Ó

The Rev. Curt Liebl of the River ofLife Bible Church said, after reading aloudthe 23rd Bible psalm, ÒAs we offer theseprayers, we know that the Lord is our shep-herd.Ó

Other speakers took a differentapproach, calling for national strength andpatriotism.

ÒThe more we see the [American] flag,the more we are reminded of three of the

most important colors that bring ustogether,Ó Chad VanDierendonck pro-claimed. ÒWe are red, we are white and weare blueÉour colors can never be burneddown and our system provides swift andaccurate justice. And our system cannot bedestroyed.Ó

College Chaplain Bill Humphreysshared a few words as well. He encouragedthe crowd not to wish for drastic Americanretaliation.

ÒEvil for evil doesnÕt get us ahead,ÓHumphreys said. ÒIt might seem to get useven, but it doesnÕt get us ahead.Ó

Many other open-campus events tookplace in the days following the tragedy.

These included a student gathering inthe South Bergstrom lounge Wednesday,an open forum presented by the Politicsand History Departments Thursday, a griefsession at the Walter Young CenterThursday, a remembrance service in theStackner Ballroom Friday afternoon and acandlelight vigil on Main Lawn Fridayevening.

Throughout the week, there werenumerous examples of Carroll studentsengaging in spontaneous relief efforts.

Seniors Jen Wilcox, Tony Waznonisand Sarah Zeirke organized Òstorm thedormÓ Wednesday night, during whichthey and nine other students went to everyCarroll dormitory and apartment, askingfor donations.

According to Wilcox, the studentsaccumulated $1,518, all of which was donat-ed to the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.

ÒWe wanted to get the Carroll com-munity involved,Ó Waznonis said.

Wilcox said she, Waznonis and Zeirkehad planned to collect crowd donations atthe Carroll football game Sept. 15, but thegame was cancelled along with all otherMidwest Conference athletic events thatweekend.

Donations boxes were placed at theCampus Center Information Desk and theStudent Development Office. Acquiredfunds will be donated to the Red Cross aswell, Wilcox said.

Members of CarrollÕs Circle K chapterwent door-to-door throughout WaukeshaWednesday, collecting donations for theRed Cross. They collected more than $300,Treasurer Sara Nackers said. The organiza-tion then met Sunday night to brainstormother fund raising ideas.

When the tragedy struck, local RedCross workers swung into action, setting upa blood donation clinic at the WaukeshaExpo Center. The college and Waukeshacommunities responded in such numbersthat, just two days later, the clinic wasclosed due to a blood surplus.

ÒAs of today, over 1,300 units of bloodhave been taken from our donors,Ó SueHetzel, a Red Cross worker, said Thursday.

The clinic is expected to reopen whenmore blood becomes necessary. Rumors ofa college-sponsored trip to the clinic werenot confirmed as of press time.

Today, Tuesday September 11th, 2001,my life will be forever changed So willyours.

I am writing this just ten hours afterthe grisly events took place in New YorkCity and Washington. I feel numbed byshock.

I have not yet seen video of theseawful occurrences, and I am not sure Iwant to.

As I tried to go about my workday, myheart, my soul and my mind were on ournation, our society and our world. It wasdifficult to stay strong when you realize

that thousands of innocent lives have beenlost, and millions more will be affected.

When I first heard about the terroristattack on the World Trade Centers, mystomach churned and my eyes began towater.

When this parent said a commercialairline slammed into the buildings, Iimmediately ascertained that it was a ter-rorist act. Why would a skilled pilot slamhis or her aircraft into a crowded building,especially one in the busiest city in theworld? I knew that this was an executionof evil.

Word quickly spread through ourworkplace. As teachers rushed to theirclassroom radios, I quietly slipped into thechapel. I sat in a pew and I cried. I prayedto God that He would bless our world. Itwas tough to do that. My head was spin-ning, and I had to get back to the kids.

I did not say anything to my group ofthree-year-olds. I figured that at their agethey could never understand or compre-hend something so tragic. I came to realize

Dear Editors of The New Perspective,

I would like to thank you for filling the final paper of my junior year with somehigh-quality, ÒnewsworthyÓ articles. My favorite features of this issue were the twopages of Josh and Anna complaining about the hell that I am Òdoomed to sufferthroughÓ for the next year and a half. Honestly, you speak of having brought TheNew Perspective to new heights in the last year, but in the minds of many students,you have done nothing but reach new lows. We may be a small campus, yes, butthat does not mean nothing happens here. Look around you. Campus is constant-ly abuzz with ÒnewsworthyÓ items. For many of us, we would like to here about theevents that take place in the PIT or in Shattuck that we do not have time to attend.If we wanted to know about what was going on in the City of Waukesha, the Stateof Wisconsin, the United States, or the World, we would pick up a copy of TheWaukesha Freeman the FREE Journal Sentinel, or turn on the world news at 5:30p.m. each night.

We read The New Perspective to find out what is happening in our CarrollCommunity, but more often than not this year, we found ourselves reading numer-ous pages of the editorÕs complaints or looking at pictures that are so poorlytaken/printed we could not even see who/what was in them. The New Perspectiveis the newspaper of the Carroll Community. Why do we not put stories in it aboutthe Carroll Community instead of retelling the national and global events that wecan get from the other FREE, professional newspapers on campus? Why does TheNew Perspective not feature articles about the Òrumor-filledÓ renovations of MainHall and Van Male instead of complaining about the current quality of the build-ings? But then again, if the paper were to talk of CarrollÕs positive changes andimprovements, the editors would not have anything about which to complain (Imean write). What about the push to make Carroll a university instead of a college?What about the debates going on around campus, such as the current debate overa Student Senate Diversity Committee? Obviously, these issues, which affect allCarroll students, are not as important as the ÒnewsworthyÓ complaints and insultsof The New Perspective editors. Maybe if The New Perspective would stop attack-ing Carroll, minorities, and student organizations (especially those ridiculously stu-pid ones that do more to better Carroll than The New Perspective ever has), thenit would actually see those heights that Anna claims to see.

The New Perspective has great potential. I hope that once the Òprofessional,ÓÒstandardizedÓ drivers on Òthe road from hellÓ graduate, it will become the Carrollnewspaper that it claims to and, we know, it can be.

Sincerely,

Joshua Beck

EDITORIALSLetter to the Editor:

Readers of the New Perspective,

I would like to take this opportunityto welcome all of you to this brand newschool year at Carroll College. AsEditor-in-Chief of your student newspa-per, I hope that the New Perspective canfully live up to your expectations in theyear to come.

If you take a look at the staff listingfor this issue, youÕll notice a few return-ing editors and writers, but many morenew names. This staff is, for the mostpart, very young and I hope that that canonly mean a fresh start for the NewPerspective.

If you are a returning student toCarroll, you will probably notice a fewchanges and additions to the newspaperthis year. To begin with, there will bemore columns included in the paper,including some favorites from past years.

We bring back the current favorites,such as the Horoscopes, Just Think,Bible Studies 101, and Live from the PioDome.

The Campus Safety Report makesits return this year to keep us all up todate on the Crime Beat here at Carroll.Sarah SchleicherÕs Diversity Columnmakes its debut this year to cover a topicthat seemed to be popular in manyaspects last year. More columns comingin future issues include a Person on theStreet quote worthy column and thereturn of the Greek Corner and theCarroll Republicans and DemocratsIssues Forum.

We will also be bringing back a col-umn from a few years ago called PersonalPeaks in which you will be able to pay avery minimal fee and print birthdaywishes or other messages to your friendsin the newspaper. Look for advertise-ments around campus and in futureissues.

In addition to the new and returningcolumns in this yearÕs New Perspective,look for more coverage of campus relat-ed news stories or campus event cover-age. We would like to bring this paperback to the Carroll community where itbelongs and give the campus somethingto read that you canÕt find in the Freemanor the Journal-Sentinel.

I hope that you as students and fac-ulty in the Carroll Community will lookforward to reading the New Perspectivewhen it comes out every two weeks andif anyone has concerns or ideas, pleasedonÕt hesitate to let us know. Email us atperspect@cc.edu.

As an addendum to this welcome, Iwould also like to take this opportunityto thank the entire campus. While thepast week and a half has been a shock toeveryone, I have never seen any group ofpeople unite in prayer, love, and hope asI have seen in these first weeks at CarrollCollege. While this tragedy brings unityto the entire nation, I could never haveimagined what I have seen here atCarroll, from the many who attendedthe prayer service at Shattuck Tuesday tothe more than 200 people that joined asone to light candles and pray Fridaynight on the Main lawn.

God Bless Carroll College and GodBless America!

New Perspective starts new year

We alone are the healers: a reaction to the terrorism

See Reaction Page 11

A new school year dawns as CarrollCollege welcomes a new crop of fresh-men looking forward to their first semes-ter and all the opportunities it will bring.

Curious to know more about thenew faces around campus, the NewPerspective took time out to speak to acouple freshmen and find out just whothey are, why theyÕre here, and wheretheyÕre going.

Kiersten Regelin is a freshman from

the small town of Marengo (IL), whocame to Carroll because Òthe course wasjust screaming my nameÓ. Majoring inTheater and Organizational Leadership,Kiersten was responsible, in her senioryear of high school, for founding a non-profit organization called ACT(Appreciating ChildrenÕs Theater) in herhome town. While others her age wouldhave been busy enough grappling withthe finer points of Calculus, Kierstenand her best friend ran three theater ses-sions a year, intended to promote aninterest in theater for grades three toeight, and funded the group entirelyfrom voluntary donations.

N o tcontent withjust settingup and run-ning ACT,Kiersten isalso involvedin HOBY(the HughO Õ B r i a nY o u t hLeadership),which is notsome Òsissyleadership class, but really wild and funÓ.HOBY promotes leadership throughvolunteerism, meaning that Kierstenspends some 400 hours a year doing vol-untary work of one kind and another.

Now in college, Kiersten seems tohave no intention of calming down.With her eye on numerous studentorganizations such as Circle K and withan upcoming internship with ÒFree theChildrenÓ in Toronto, Kiersten is veryhappy to be here and has no regrets.

Another freshman student, BillArmstrong, has a different story to tell.Looking for a future that would be excit-ing, challenging and would take him allover the world, Bill was looking forwardto a career in the US Navy. After apply-ing to the US Naval Academy and receiv-

ing a nomi-nation froma member ofc o n g r e s s ,BillÕs appli-cation wasat a relative-ly advancedstage whenhis careerplan wasshattered .A l t h o u g hthe Navy

offers waivers for eyesight problems,color-blindness is not a waivable condi-tion.

So, instead, Bill has found himself atCarroll where he hopes to be able toexplore new avenues of opportunity. Aninterest in classical archeology has beensparked by an introduction class he tookat his home in Minnesota. He is alsointerested in forming a string quartet andlooking for a cello player. Asked if he wassad about the Navy, he calmly repliedÒMaybe it wasnÕt supposed to work out.Ó

As for Carroll, he describes it as Ònotvery bigÓ. Whereas at larger establish-ments you can find yourself using yourstudent id number more than your name,Carroll is Òvery personalÓ.

The New Perspective • September 20, 2001 • Page 7

As the new school year gets under-way, and The New Perspective warms upthe presses for a new round of our favoritenewspaper, IÕm thinking ÒtransitionÓ.SummerÕs activities mostly give way to newpatterns of behavior. Working hard toearn some money for leisure and collegetuition, and playing hard with littlethought for tomorrow except to get up andget to work all over again, now give way toclass schedules, homework, practicing forthe sports arena and concert hall, and play-ing hard with lots of thought about tomor-row. Even if weÕre trying hard not to thinkabout it. WeÕre in transition city!

Speaking of transitions, consider for acouple of minutes if you will, the story ofRuth, coming right out of the Bible in abook by the same name. Genesis, Exodus,Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy,Joshua, Judges, RUTH!

It just so happens that Ruth and hersister, Orpah, have very similar experienceswith the deaths of their husbands, Mahlonand Chilion These guys were brothers;both were sons of Naomi and Elimelech.That leaves Ruth and Orpah with the samemother-in-law, Naomi. Ironically, Naomi,too, had lost her husband, Elimelech, sonow we have the makings of a good movie;maybe Harpo Productions would be inter-ested (thatÕs a reference to Oprah Winfrey,whose name is almost the same as RuthÕssister!).

Anyway, as was the custom, sinceRuth and Orpah were foreigners, fromMoab, they were free, upon the death oftheir husbands, to return to their homes,to their lands, to their families, and to theirtraditions, cultures, and religion, all ofwhich they had yielded in order to marryNaomiÕs boys.

It would have been the custom forother brothers in the family to take Ruthand Orpah as their wives, and with them tobear offspring on behalf of the deceasedbrothers. But in this story, there are nomore brothers. And with ElimelechÕsdeath, thereÕs little chance that Naomi willhave any more sons, and, she notes, even ifshe did, Ruth and Orpah would not likelywait around for the new crop to matureand make them their wives. (chapter 1,verses 11 and following)

So, Naomi, kind and sensitive moth-er-in-law as she was, explicitly permitsRuth and Orpah to leave her (Naomi) andreturn to their homes as Moabites. Verse14: ÒOrpah kissed her mother-in-law, butRuth clung to her.Ó

In her clinging, we hear Ruth: ÒDonot press me to leave you or to turn backfrom following you! Where you go, I willgo; where you lodge, I will lodge; your peo-ple shall be my people, and your God myGod. Where you die, I will die- there willI be buried.Ó

WOW! This sign of commitment hasall the makings of some great folk song,maybe even Country and Western.Whew!

Off go Naomi and Ruth to Bethlehemat the beginning of the barley harvest, justin time to be there when Boaz comes onthe scene. Now Boaz is a prominent richman (ch.2v.1) with fields to harvest and ser-vants to do the work. HeÕs also a relative ofthe late Elimelech. When he hears howkind and helpful Ruth has been to Naomi,Boaz takes a liking to Ruth. And Ruthtakes a liking to Boaz.

With NaomiÕs encouragement, Ruthsneaks into BoazÕ presence while heÕsasleep, on the chance that he might dis-cover her and perform the duties of herlate husband (that is a manner of speakingabout sex without calling it that). ButBoaz resists the temptation, knowing thatanother kinsman lives in the town, andsuch a duty really would fall to the otherguy. Being quite clear about that withRuth, Boaz promises Ruth that if the otherkinsman chooses not to take her as hiswife, then Boaz will be pleased to do sohimself.

Well, wouldnÕt you know it! Theother guy declines the kind offer, andyields to Boaz all the property of Elimelechand Chilion and Mahlon, and Ruth, too!The bad news here is that Ruth and mostwomen are treated as little more thanproperty. The good news is that Godseems to be behind it all, Òso Boaz tookRuth and she became his wife.Ó (4:13) Theyconceived and bore Obed, of whom grand-mother Naomi was most proud. Obedbecame the father of Jesse, the father ofDavid. Thus Ruth is the great-grandmoth-er of David. Thus Ruth is mentioned inthe New Testament genealogies of Jesus.

The transitions made in the story ofRuth are of Biblical proportion! The tran-sitions we make into the new semester atCarroll College may seem nearly as large.As summer becomes a new school year, asheat and humidity give up some of theirseasonal grip, as schedules change andfriendships mature, may we be informed,even inspired, by the ongoing commit-ments Ruth demonstrated for the new sea-sons in her life. She left the old behind totake on the new with fortitude and gusto,and great was the reward for her trustingfaithfulness!

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENTBible Studies 101: on beginningagain with Ruth and Naomi

BY REV. WILLIAM HUMPHREYSSpecial to The New Perspective Welcome to the inaugural editorial of

The New PerspectiveÕs diversity column. So,many editorials, letters to the editor andspecials to the paper appeared last year thatit may have seemed as though such a col-umn already existed. ItÕs now time to takethe passion with which those articles werewritten, and bring ÒdiversityÓ to the Carrollcommunity biweekly.

Throughout the past year, many peoplehave complained that not enough has beendone on our campus to promote diversity,that people are talking instead of acting.While these written words are a form ofconversation, hopefully they will stir peopleto act.

With this column will appear upcom-ing events from the Office of CulturalDiversity. Go to them. Get off your duff,stop watching the newly-installed cable inthe dorms and go to a dance, a forum, aspeaker, a presentation, something! I guar-antee you will have an experience youhavenÕt had before (that is, if you havenÕtdone these things before).

Instead of giving a spiel about howdiversity affects everyone, I urge you to lookaround yourself. Who sits next to you as youread this? They must be different than youin some way or another. I then suggest that,rather than erase that difference by saying,ÒweÕre all alike inside,Ó embrace it.

Learn about your neighbor. Warning:

do not get to know someone for selfish rea-sons like, ÒOh, I had a project in myCultural Anthropology class to learn aboutanother ethnicity.Ó This will only irritatepeople of various backgrounds who feelthey are being used, and who feel the aver-age Carroll student finds them a mere con-venience.

This already has occurred on our smallcampus, leaving the person of ÒdifferenceÓhurt, confused or even belligerent. Attemptto create a real relationship. Challenge your-self to leave your comfort zone. When aclassmate from India or even from down-town Milwaukee shares a detail of her life,take the initiative, however frightened youmay be of the outcome. She will be glad,maybe even surprised, that you did.

These are probably the most obviousways to become Òdiversified.Ó At this pointin the semester, IÕm not trying to complete-ly alienate anyone by suggesting you partic-ipate in the sacred rituals of indigenous peo-ples, although learning about them is eyeopening to say the least.

Throughout the semester, it is possiblethat I will raise more questions than provideclear answers. Well, the subject of diversityis not clear. I predict that, at the end of it all,everyone will be even more confused, but,in classic oxymoron fashion, understandmore.

Finally, I invite anyone with concernsto express, comments to make or questionsto ask to e-mail me at sschleic@cc.edu.Better yet, participate in an activity, educateyourself about the issue or organize yourown movement.

While fall brings the tidings oflower temperatures and the cold windsof winter, television programmers hopeto keep our toes warm this season withan explosive new line up. And while thedays etch closer to premiere week, wehave to wonder how many new showswill explode in fireworks and how manywill go up in flames?

NBC looks forward to introducing anew comedy, Scrubs, piloting about aself-assured medical internÕs first day onthe job. Main Character, J.D. Dorian(Zach Braff ), goes through his first shiftthinking heÕs all that, but soon realizeshis job will be as hard as gaining respectfrom his fellow peers. The programhopes to counter the more seriousdrama, ER, while matching the comedicvalues of Friends and Will & Grace.Scrubs will premiere Sept. 25 at 9:30 p.m.

NBC will also premiere a newdrama, Crossing Jordan, which T.V. Guidecalls, ÒErin Brockovich in QuincyÕs labcoat.Ó Created by Tim Kring (NBCÕsProvidence), Crossing Jordan stars ex-Law& Order actor Jill Hennessy as JordanCavanaugh, a medical examiner whofights for the victim to dig to the bottomof the crime. Crossing Jordan will com-pete mostly with CBSÕs returning FamilyLaw on Monday nights, starting Sept. 17at 9:00 p.m.

Some stations have brought somebig screen names to their weeknight lineup. CBS welcomes Richard Dreyfuss,(Mr. Holland Õs Opus) to star in TheEducation of Max Bickford, a show about ahistory professor who finds himself at acrossroads when he is passed up for apromotion, his best male friend returnsfrom a vacation as a woman, and hisdaughter rebels as a rocker leavingBickford, to start reevaluating his life.

FOX also has brought actor KieferSutherland to the little screen to star intheir new Tuesday line up, Twenty-Four,about Jack Bauer, (Sutherland) who hasbeen elected to save the country and hisfamily every week from terrorist andgovernmental threats. The show promis-es to keep you on your toes and keepBauer, ÒÉon the hot seat of hot seats.Save the country, save your family. HeÕsnot going to get much sleep,Ó according

to executive producer Robert Cochranin T.V. Guide.

This fall will also bring back somefamiliar faces. ABC welcomes SeinfeldÕsJason Alexander as Bob Patterson, moti-vational speaker extraordinaire. WhilePatterson claims to know all the secretsto self-help he could use his own motiva-tional speaker to help him. HopefullyAlexander will have better luck than hisold pal Michael Richards whosegumshoe comedy, The Michael RichardsShow barely lasted the night it aired.

CBS also brings on EllenDeGeneres, sharing the same first namewith her character in what aspires to bea simple, funny show. The Ellen Show,centers around a sweet hometown whereDeGeneres, becomes the guidancecounselor of the local high school.

Of course with all the new showspopping up this season, many are justexcited to see the old shows returning.Many shows left off with graspingcliffhangers, demanding us to know whatwas going to happen. NBCÕs Friendsmade an assuming end leaving us tothink Rachel, (Jennifer Aniston) is theone keeping a secret pregnancy, and thenext few weeks might find Dr. MarkGreen, (Anthony Edwards) of ER a mur-derer.

The WB left us with a dead Buffy theVampire Slayer, but we know the UPNwill raise her up againÉor at least someare hoping so. The UPN has also pickedup WBÕs dropped Roswell, allowing thealiens to continue their stay with us.

With all the returning and with allthe new shows it obvious that only a fewbright lights will make it through thetunnel. There have been a few surprisesin the last few years. Shows that hadpotential were dropped and shows thatseemed to be fading got an upgrade. Thisseason each new show seems to promisea new spin and hopefully a better story-line and acting crew than previous pro-t�g�es. Nonetheless, fires will burn thisfall, some will last through winter sea-sons to come, and others will be ashes inthe wind.

Rock StarRated R for language, sex, & drug content

As cool as this movie was, I donÕtrecommend it for kiddies. There is a lotof sex, drugs and rock Ôn roll in additionto some vulgar language.

Devoted fan, Mark Wahlberg,known as Chris Cole in this flick, has awondrous voice, which can be heard inhis bar-level band. His band makes trib-

ute to a more well-known Ô80s heavymetal group called Steel Dragon. Colegets his big break when the lead singerfor Steel Dragon gets kicked out andCole is elected to take his place. Cole isnow in the center of the drugs and wildorgies that rock Ôn roll can offer. IfyouÕre like me, and thoroughly enjoyedWahlbergÕs role in Boogie Nights, thenyouÕll love this movie. Note of warningto all men, this could almost be consid-ered a romantic comedy but the sexscenes will most likely keep you interest-ed anyway, not to mention that JenniferAniston plays WahlbergÕs girlfriend inthis flick.

that even at my age I could not evenunderstand or comprehend somethingso tragic.

I attempted to give the kids snack,do calendar, weather, and story time. Itook them outside on a lovely, warmmorning, a blue sky overhead, dewygrass underfoot. I blew bubbles, andthe kids giggled and raced after themwith delight.

But I wasnÕt really there, you see. Iwas in New York City andWashington, not Sussex, Wisconsin.

At noon, I left to go to go toschool. I listened to WTMJ radio inthe car. Tears welled in my eyes as I lis-tened to the accounts of this tragedy.

I got to school and found my pro-fessor. She informed me that class wascancelled. We talked for awhile aboutthe morningÕs events, and the implica-tions they had on us all. My professorsaid our world will never be the same.Her statement sent shivers up myspine.

I left school and went to the bloodcenter in Waukesha to donate. I had todo something. Anything. Even if myblood would not reach those in thedisaster areas, at least it would behelping somebody.

I was awestruck to find traffic tiedup outside the blood center. There wasa three hour wait to donate!

Although I did not stay, there wasa satisfaction that so many peoplestepped out of their tiny boxes toreach out to others in need.

Now, as I sit at the library writingthis, I am still in shock. Anyone whohas an ounce of compassion in theirheart must be devastated by todayÕsmalevolence.

On a local level, schools closedearly, malls closed, businesses shutdown. Rightfully so.

Today we should all be stoppingwhat we are doing. We should look upfrom our computer screens, our textbooks and our cell phones and gazeskyward. We should be asking, "Why?"Why, why, why, why, why?

We should be asking a lot of ques-tions. Not just "Who is responsible forthis?" and "How do we seek revenge?"Rather, "What kind of world have wecreated that would allow for this kindof barbarism?" and "How do wechange this world so that millions ofother people wonÕt suffer in thefuture?"

But, you see, we are too caught up

in our own little worlds, the "dailygrind" as we call it, that we donÕt havethe time to ask all the pertinent BigQuestions.

And so I pose this question: Isnow a good time?

Countless people died Sept. 11.Countless more will be foreverchanged. We must do something andwe must do it NOW.

LetÕs not make more guns, recruitmore troops, and build more bombs.

Instead letÕs donate blood. LetÕsdonate our time. LetÕs donate our love.

There are countless ways we cangive of ourselves. There are countlessways we can extend a hand. There arecountless ways to make this world apeaceful, joyous place.

I am not saying we should all joinhands and sing "Kumbaya." I am notsaying we should all send each otherHallmark cards.

What I am suggesting ~ wheneveran opportunity arises ~ is to reach outto others in need with care and com-passion.

What I am suggesting is that welook outside ourselves and see ourworld as a place that needs to behealed, and that we alone are the heal-ers.

God ~ if you believe in a HigherPower ~ placed us on this planet inorder for us to create an "earth as it isin heaven."

Judging from the tragic events, arewe accomplishing that?

We are all personally responsiblefor how this world evolves. It is up toall of us whether or not our worldevolves into a utopia, or anArmageddon.

We experienced an ArmageddonSept. 11.

For the love of God and all of Hiscreatures, let us not allow for this tocontinue.

The answer is NOT in weapons ofmass destruction or world war.

The answer lies within our hearts,our souls, and it can be extracted atany given moment.

The answer is love.Give it freely, give it often, and I

assure you, no cowardly terrorist couldever do you harm.

Go with the strength you have/Go simply,lightly, gently,/ in search of Love./And the

Spirit go with you.~ Kiamu Cawidrone

Well, the summer is over and we areback in school for another year. This year,as with every year, another great event hastaken place at the conclusion of summer.What might this great, amazing and unbe-lievable event be, you ask? It is none otherthan the start of the NFL football season,the greatest time of the year. Many peopleacross the country counted down the daysuntil the first Sunday, when they could sitback and watch football for nine straighthours. I was one of them.

Even during this great time, there issomething terribly wrong with the start ofthe season. Who are those men in stripesout on the field? Oh, thatÕs right - I forgot- theyÕre replacement officials. And, whyare they out there? The only reason isbecause the NFL has their heads so far uptheir butts that they canÕt see a thing andrealize they are not giving the regular offi-cials what they deserve.

The whole situation started when theofficialsÕ contract ran out. Ever since, the

two sides have been disputing over payraises. The officials want a higher com-pensation than the NFL is offering. Forexample, the NFL is offering $67,671 for afifth-year official and the officials want$95,000 a year for a fifth-year official. Ibelieve the officials deserve every bit ofmoney they are asking for. They deserveeven more than that. Football officialshave an extremely tough job. How do Iknow this, you ask? Well, I happen to per-sonally know a college level football offi-cial.

I have seen many games through theeyes of the official. A football officialworks just as hard, if not harder, than his orher counterpart in other sports. A footballofficial is constantly running up and downthe field. This requires him to be in topphysical shape. Also, they are at timesunder constant verbal attacks from thecoaches and players. This does not hap-pen nearly as much in other sports. Inmost other sports, the coaches are notright on top of the officials like in football.Officials show amazing self-control byconcentrating on the game and not react-ing to abusive coaches.

Football officials are the best officialsof any sport. They watch a fast-pacedgame, and they make the correct call bet-ter than 99 percent of the time.

It is about time the NFL realizes thegreatness of the officials it employs. Theseofficials are out there busting their buttsevery weekend during the season. TheNFL needs to wake up and reach inside itspockets, which are bulging with money,and pay the officials what they deserve.

Message to the NFL: give theofficials what they deserve!

Carroll College rang in the begin-ning of two new regimes for Pioneerathletics. Head football coach JeffVoris and womenÕs head soccer coachJason Bretzmann are both new toCarroll and have bright goals. Both ofthese men are looking to lead theirrespective Pioneer squad into the play-offs.

Bretzmann has the honor of trying

to bring the ConferenceChampionship back to Carroll, whereit was after the 1998 season. CoachBretzmann, along with CaptainsMaggie Dyke and Becky Meier, arevery confident that the Lady Pioneerswill meet their goals. Bretzman stated:

ÒOur first goal is to win 10 games.That should put us into the top 4 inthe conference and into theConference Tournament. From there,anything is possible.Ó

The Lady Pioneers started out theseason strong with victories over non-conference foes Cardinal Stritch,

Benedictine, and St. MaryÕs.Coach VorisÕ adjustment has not

been as smooth as BretzmannÕs, buthis goals for the Pioneer football teamare still just as high. Voris started outcamp in August with 65 players. Beforethe first game of the season, the rosterhad been drastically depleted becauseof players who elected not to be a partof the 2001 Pioneers.

Game 1 in the Jeff Voris era didnot go as planned as penalties andinjuries marred a 13-3 loss to the NorthPark Vikings. Coach Voris, however isconfident that his team has what it

takes to bounce back from the defeat.After the defeat Voris stated, ÒI feelthat we did all the things we needed todo to win.Ó

Voris is enjoying his new schooland new hometown. Voris praised,ÒPeople have been nothing but nice tome. Waukesha is a great place to raisea family and Carroll is a great placewhere there is dedication to buildingchampions on and off the field.Ó

Pioneer fans should have some-thing to look forward to from thewomenÕs soccer team and the menÕsfootball team for years to come.

Voris & Bretzmann coaching dynasties begin at Carroll
