Habitat for Humanity goes to TennesseeSome Lakeland students and staff give back during their spring break

Over spring break, a group of students involved in Habi-tat for Humanity traveled

to Oak Ridge, Tenn. to do work around the houses of elderly peo-ple living in the area. The group consisted of 16 students, and two chaperones, Community Service Coordinator, Kati Jendraszak and Campus Chaplain, Kelly Stone. Of the 16 Lakeland students present, they represented five countries; besides the United States, there were students from Nepal, Kenya, Korea, and Columbia.

The trip went from Saturday, March 13 through Saturday, March 20. On the way to Tennessee, Hab-itat workers stopped in Louisville, Knoxford, and Pigeon Forge for various activities such as sightsee-ing, shopping, and go-karting.

The theme for this year was “Brush of Kindness.” The main ob-jective was to assist elderly people living in the area to prepare their homes for the summer and to do various outdoor jobs for them. Students and staff worked every day from about 8:30 a.m. until around 5 p.m.

“We did a lot of painting,” said Jendraszak. Other jobs in-cluded roofing, cleaning, raking, caulking windows, and putting up roof support beams. Habitat workers also helped to finish a flipped house. They assisted in putting the finishing touches on the house, and it will be dedicated sometime next week.

When asked if there was a lot to learn before doing some of this work, Jendraszak responded, “There was a sight supervisor who gave the general concepts, but they [the students] basically learned for themselves.”

Lakeland staff and students slept at a Presbyterian church each night. The church used to have a school attached, so the now unused classrooms were available for them. Mattresses were pro-vided to them. Food was provided for many meals as well. Different church groups prepared meals for the workers, including a special stew for St. Patrick’s Day, fol-

lowed by a dance.Lakeland representatives left

Tennessee on Saturday morning at 6 a.m. and returned to Lakeland at 7 p.m. They rode down in a mini bus driven by Jendraszak and a Lakeland minivan, driven by Stone as well as various students.

“Each year our Habitat for Humanity chapter is provided with information about sites that host Collegiate Challenge Spring Break Groups,” said Stone. Stone, chapter President SarahAnn Es-kridge, and an executive board then decide which would be the best choice as far as group size and distance.

Stone has been advisor/co-advisor for Habitat for Humanity for the past four years. Of her par-ticipation with the Habitat group, Stone said, “It is a great organiza-tion that is committed to provid-ing people with a simple, decent place to live.”

Jendraszak enjoyed her time working in Tennessee as well. “We were very successful, and it was a lot of fun. I have been on trips like this before, and students come out of it with good quotes and memories, even though what we are doing is not the most glori-fied work.”

The Lakeland chapter of Habitat for Humanity spent spring break working on the homes of elderly residents in Tennessee.

News stories of sexual as-saults on or near col-lege campuses across

the U.S. have been mak-ing headlines. One example is a sexual assault case against a man who allegedly assaulted a University of Wisconsin-Milwau-kee student (www.todaystmj4.com). UW-Madison has also been working to assist sexual assault survivors with various programs (www.news.wisc.edu).

And sexual assaults can, and have, happened at Lakeland. Al-though Lakeland had no reported sexual assaults in 2008, two were reported in 2007 and three in 2006. The figures for 2009-2010 are not yet available.

An investigation by Dateline NBC News correspondent Hoda Kotb questions if universities do enough to prevent and condemn campus sexual assaults. The in-vestigator interviewed five col-lege women who reported alleged sexual assaults to their campus authorities and their plight in seeking justice.

What steps do our campus of-ficials take to keep students safe? What happens after a reported as-sault? Where do victims find ser-vices? What are the consequences to a student found guilty of an as-sault?

To better understand, An-nette M. Gamache, director of safety and security, began by talk-ing about the Jeanne Clery Act.

The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Cam-pus Crime Statistics Act, original-ly known as the "Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990," is named in memory of university freshman Jeanne Ann Clery, who was raped and murdered while in bed in her residence hall room in 1986. It requires colleges and universities in the United States to disclose crime statistics about their campuses from the previous three years.

Jeanne Clery's parents learned that students had not been in-formed of numerous violent crimes in the years prior to her murder. They worked with other victims of campus crime to persuade con-gress to pass the Clery Act.

According to the Dateline investigation, what was most frustrating for the victims was that they still encountered their alleged assailants on campus. To try to understand this, Gamache

referred to the student handbook (lakeland.edu/StudentServices/). To begin, any person accused of a crime, whether reported to the police or to campus security, is deemed “innocent until proven guilty.” This obligates any campus to protect the rights of both the victim and the alleged perpetrator until guilt is established.

Although over 70 percent of all sexual assaults go unreported nationwide, the most important thing a victim can do for them-selves and their fellow students is to report it. Without a report, the alleged assailant is free to violate again. At Lakeland, if an assault is reported to Campus Security, they will encourage the victim to also report it to the police.

Within 72 hours of the crime, even if a crime is not reported, Memorial Hospital in Sheboygan offers exams by their specially trained staff on their Sexual As-sault Response Team. There are programs available that will cover the cost.

Safe Harbor, a victim’s advo-cacy group, also provides services to victims. Among these services are a 24-hour crisis line (1-800-499-7640) which offers counsel-ing, information, referral services, temporary shelter, peer support groups, transportation, court and hospital advocacy, and assistance with emergency needs. These ser-vices are available to all Sheboygan County residents at no cost.

The student handbook details what happens to a perpetrator at Lakeland who is found guilty of any crime. Sanctions by the col-lege, including removal from the campus, are dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

Some precautions Lakeland Campus Security takes are to pro-vide “safe rides” and “safe walks.” Call extension 1126 and a security person will safely escort you to your destination. They also moni-tor the campus to identify and eliminate dark areas.

There are also things you can do to protect yourself. When trav-eling on campus, or anywhere, be aware of your surroundings, walk confidently and use the “buddy system.” Don’t let strangers into your home or residence hall. Drink responsibly and don’t accept drinks from others.

Gamache says, “It is the in-dividual’s responsibility to take precautions. Most sexual assaults on campuses are done by those known to [the victims] or sig-nificant others. A sexual assault on campus is not likely to be a

‘stranger’ attack.” Acquaintance assaults are the most common, yet the least reported. Knowing your assailant does not diminish the fact that this is still a crime.

For more tips on sexual as-sault prevention and victim re-sources, visit the security office.

If you should become a vic-tim of assault, report it. Remem-ber that sexual assault is not your fault, and you are not alone.

Asked if she was worried about sexual assaults on campus and if she were assaulted would she report it, senior English major Ashley Oleck said, “It crosses my mind whenever I’m alone and, yes, I would report it. It’s important as a student, no matter how insignif-icant, to stop it from escalating.”

Business management and marketing major Becca Littlefield experienced an assault at Lake-land. She lives on campus and reported it to Campus Security in 2009. She explained, “I feel se-curity should have taken the situ-ation more seriously.” Because of her dissatisfaction with the way security handled the report, she “would be hesitant to report an assault to Campus Security; but, if it were severe enough, I would go directly to the authorities.”

Although sexual assault is thought to be a crime against women, it can also happen to men. Fitness studies major Nick Doerfliger, who lives on campus, commented about the possibility of becoming a victim of sexual as-sault on campus. “As a guy, no. I feel this campus is pretty safe,” he said.

Freshman Brad LeClair, a criminal justice major and a member of Campus Security, was asked if he sees anything that may escalate the problem. He said that “drinking far more than one should and not utilizing safe rides” could create an increased risk for the po-tential victim.

And there is more you can do, not only for yourself, but for your campus and community. Safe Harbor of Sheboygan County is looking for people to participate in events for this year’s “Sexual Assault Awareness Month” oc-curring in April. For more infor-mation, or to participate, contact Gamache at 920-565-1407.

By Lee Van Der SanDeStaff Reportervandersandel@lakeland.edu In general, the College does not

attempt to duplicate the func-tion of civil laws and hence, “only where the institution’s interests as an educational com-munity are distinctly and clearly involved is the right of the insti-tution asserted.” The College will consider:

a) Whether the individual can continue to benefit from or con-tribute to the educational pro-cess of the College,

b) Whether the individual stu-dent, by his/her actions, has endangered the welfare of other members of the College or local community, and

c) When the student’s conduct threatens the image and reputa-tion of the College in the com-munity.

In matters which may involve concurrent jurisdiction, the fol-lowing specific principles are maintained:

a) When behavioral circum-stances warrant, the College may proceed according to Col-lege judicial procedures, even though the civil process has yet to begin.

b) If a student is charged with a felony or other criminal offense, the College shall also retain the option to suspend such a stu-dent until criminal courts have reached a judgment.

c) The College cannot regard an arrest or indictment as a finding of guilt. Even where a student has been found guilty by civil au-thorities, the College is required to reach its own conclusion as to whether the student has vio-lated a College regulation.

d) Because a student accused of violating both civil and Col-lege regulations may be subject to a trial, the College should be scrupulous in respecting his/her rights as an accused person and avoid any effort to secure a con-fession or evidence that may be used against him/her.

e) A civil trial is a matter sepa-rated from the College. When the student is involved in a civil trial, the College, if subpoenaed, shall participate.

The Lakeland College “Life Choices Challenge 2010” of-ficially ended Friday, March

12. Winners were announced at a finale party in the Pub on Tuesday, March 23.

First place in the individual category went to IT Analyst Jeff Ritt, with a weight loss of 18 pounds.

First place in the team catego-ry went to the “Three Little Pigs.” Team members were Brotz Hall Director, Sally Bork; Grosshuesch Hall Director Ryan Opahle; and Krueger Residence Hall Director and Community Service Coordi-nator, Kati Jendraszak. Their com-bined weight loss was 32 pounds.

Each of the four winners re-ceived a $50 Chamber of Com-merce gift certificate for their ac-complishments.

When asked what his strat-egy was to lose such an impressive amount of weight, Ritt said, “I put into practice what I learned in the Life Choices sessions. In the past portion size was a big issue for me; sometimes I would eat two or three times the recommended por-tion size, if not more. Getting up off the couch and exercising was also a key factor. Using Fitday.com to track my intake and my exercise helped me to visualize how much I ate and how much of a couch potato I was.”

Individuals and teams all had different winning strategies. “We see each other every day and al-ways eat lunch together,” said Bork. “If someone took dessert, they were encouraged to eat only

half; we encouraged each other all the time.”

Weight loss was not the only goal. Each week, points were ac-cumulated for attendance at vari-ous Life Choices events and then added to the weight loss numbers to arrive at the winning scores. Life Choices was not only meant to encourage healthy eating habits, but a complete healthy lifestyle. Weekly events included fitness training; environmental, spiritual, and mental health; financial well-ness, stress relief and relaxation techniques; and portion control.

At the start of the challenge there were 72 participants. Half were students; half were faculty and staff. Those numbers dwin-dled to 30 participants by the end of the challenge.

Those attending the finale party were served a healthy lunch consisting of veggie wraps, pret-zels, fruits, nuts, and flavored wa-ters. Completion certificates and some additional gifts were handed out. Attendees could also regis-ter for bi-hourly drawings to win other prizes.

Several people took part in running the event, including Kaye Martin, director of student ser-vices; Kristie Heese, senior fitness and sport studies major; Kelly Quick, assistant professor of exer-cise science; Cary Knier, director of counseling services; and Sherry Carstens, campus nurse.

For those who want the ac-countability and wish to con-tinue with the weekly weigh-ins, Carstens said she would be happy to continue with them every Mon-day from 8:30-11:30 a.m. and 1:00-4:00 p.m. through May Term.

LC-Challenge endsWinners receive gift certificates

On Friday, April 2 from 7a.m. to 9 p.m., several Lakeland artists and writ-

ers will display their finest work at Sheboygan’s Paradigm Cof-fee and Music for the “Lakeland College Fine Arts Sample Show.” The show has been developed by senior writing major Jessica Lillie for her senior Honors project.

Lillie is hoping for a good turnout. Being Good Friday, many students are off from school and workers may have off as well. She-boygan area citizens may be look-ing for something fun to do, and what better venue than the Lake-land College Fine Arts Sample Show?

The thesis for Lillie’s project centers on the root of Lakeland’s liberal arts foundation. “We are a liberal arts school, and it seems that our artists don’t get out in the community as much as they could,” says Lillie. “I think that we could really be an integral part of the artistic community for She-boygan.”

Lakeland College art majors Liz Lange and Sara Willadsen will be displaying art pieces. Writing major Ross DeRosier and educa-tion major Rob Pockat will also be reading self-written pieces. Fol-lowing the show, Icarus Himself, a musician from Madison, will be performing.

Lillie and Lange both express enthusiasm for allowing Lakeland

students to display their finest works and pieces for the Sheboy-gan area community. “I decided to participate in this event because I have never exhibited outside of the realm of arts centers,” says Lange. “I thought it would be a good way to get my work into a public venue.”

Lange adds, “…I really hope this event provides young people the inspiration to see Sheboygan as a place to nurture their creativ-ity, and not as some black hole they can't wait to get out of. There is growing support for the arts in Sheboygan that I never saw 10 or 12 years ago. I hope others will see that and want to become a part of it as well.”

Alpha Psi Alpha hosted the first annual Women’s Week March 23 through

March 26. On Tuesday, the week started off with a Women Around the World conference, which discussed the roles women play around the world in countries like Malawi, China, and Puerto Rico.

On Wednesday, the Alphas were able to co-host the Etiquette Dinner, a Passport event, with Lakeland’s Career Development. The ladies from Career Develop-ment had a slideshow presenta-tion about how to eat with an em-ployer. Students who signed up to attend were paired up with a real employer in their field of interest to talk with over dinner. Salad, spaghetti, chicken, and dessert were served.

On Thursday, March 25, the Alphas invited women of differ-ent genres to perform in the Pub. Lakeland’s first annual Women’s Concert had music ranging from coffee shop, jazz and R&B, to rap. Jessica Lillie, a senior writing ma-jor better known as Lillie Lemon, opened the night up with several songs, singing along to the strum of her guitar.

Lillie played one of her most outrageous songs that “get’s her in trouble a lot” called “the Professor song.”

Following Lillie was Kenya Ward, a senior writing major and member of Alpha Psi Alpha. Ward wowed the crowd with her amaz-ing vocals, singing both alone and with her producer, Flizzy Flames.

Ward performed one of her own songs, “This is Not Another Love Song,” written when she was trying to leave the man she had been with for four years, but it just seemed she could not let go. In the end, Ward hopes that this song will help women to know that “no matter what, you can move on.”

Variety, Flizzy’s other artist, closed the Pub performances with an exciting bang. The women’s rap group from Milwaukee came up to perform with Ward for Women’s Week. One of the members is also a member of Alpha Psi Alpha. The three girls rapped and sang until they did a closing act featuring Flizzy and Ward. By the time the rap group was done, the Pub had filled with both listeners and fans.

A men’s pageant that was scheduled to be held on Friday was cancelled.

Alpha Psi Alpha held a dress drive coinciding with Women’s Week to collect prom and home-coming dresses which they do-nated to the Boys and Girls Club of Sheboygan County at the Stay-er Center. According to Juleya Tucker, a freshman psychology major, the sorority has donated 15 dresses so far.

On Thursday, March 11, in-ternational students and the Early Bird Rotary Club

met to build and improve world relations.

Ryan Opahle, residence hall director of Grosshuesch Hall and assistant director of residence life, was invited by the Early Bird Ro-tary Club Sheboygan and took part in the meeting. About 30 members of the Rotary Club and Lakeland students enjoyed breakfast and fellowship at Al & Al's Stein Haus Restaurant in Sheboygan.

Lakeland's international stu-dents who were invited by the club were Grace Jairo, junior biochem-istry and math major from Kenya; Swe Swe Htay, senior education major from Burma; Miho Kaimori, sophomore business major from Japan; and Cai Fei, sophomore marketing and business manage-ment major from China.

Jairo, who is president of Global Student Association, an-nounced International Night which will be held on April 8. She invited the Rotary Club members to the event, where they could en-joy various international cultures.

“I loved the enthusiasm and the energy in the morning,” said Jairo. “The environment was quite welcoming and the members were very nice. They seemed to have lots of interest in getting to know us, and our backgrounds. I love

educating people about the place I come from…Overall, I think the meeting went well.”

Kaimori said, “It was a really good opportunity to introduce my country to people in Sheboygan. It is hard to have a relationship with community people so I was glad to be invited to the meeting.”

“I think the meeting was a success,” said Opahle. “Our in-ternational students represented themselves and Lakeland very well. Through presenting informa-tion about themselves, their coun-tries, their backgrounds, and their experiences here at Lakeland, I think they provided the Rotary members with a very good exam-ple of the great things they are ac-complishing here at Lakeland.”

According to the Early Bird Rotary Club Web site, www.earlybirdrotary.org, the club was chartered March 26, 1985; today, they have 47 members. “The Early Bird Rotary Club has supported and donated almost a quarter of a million dollars to a wide variety of charitable organizations, both lo-cally and around the world.” Also, they are helping the Lakeland Col-lege Malawi Teacher Education Initiative program and the Lake-land College Special Assistance Grants Fund program.

Kris Krentz, who is the chair of the International Service Sub-Committee of the Early Bird Ro-tary Club, said, "Over the years, we’ve had several international students from Lakeland speak

to our Rotary Club. Not only do our members enjoy learning from these students about their coun-tries, it serves to promote better world understanding, a basic te-net of Rotary International and one that our club works hard to identify with. We hope the stu-dents enjoy sharing information about their homeland with us as much as we look forward to hav-ing them speak."

Opahle introduced Lakeland College’s Host Family Program to the Early Bird Rotary Club members. It is Lakeland’s unique cultural exchange program for in-ternational students who are not familiar with American life.

Unlike typical host family programs at other colleges, these international students do not live in the house of a host fam-ily. Instead, host families help in-ternational students learn about American families and life in the United States. Opahle introduced the program and thanked Rotary members for taking part as next term’s host family members.

Tom Marcy, director of aca-demic assessment and assistant professor of statistics is also a rep-resentative for the Early Bird Ro-tary Club, and invited the interna-tional students to attend.

“We wanted to promote Ryan Opahle’s efforts to identify host families for international students at Lakeland College,” said Marcy. “We are still actively promoting this effort."

owner, Kate Krause, for aiding in getting her project off the ground. Paradigm Coffee and Music is lo-cated at 1202 North 8th Street in Sheboygan.

The senior Honors project is required of all students participat-ing in the Honors program. Hon-ors students are required to take a course that aids them in develop-ing a thesis for their projects.

Senior Honors project pro-posals must be approved by the Honors committee, comprised of Professors Scott Niederjohn, Meg Albrinck, and the division chairs. “It was a big challenge to come up with a project that was acceptable to the Honors committee,” said Lillie.

With a 22-pen signature, President Obama put health care reform into

law on Tuesday, March 23.Although this reform has

promised many changes, truly sig-nificant ones will not occur in the first year. The first changes under the new bill will be easy to spot.

One change that will affects most college students is that young adults transitioning from college to the workplace will be able to remain on their parents’ health insurance plan until they turn 26. According to the Associated Press, about one-third of people in their twenties are uninsured.

With this benefit, college stu-dents moving to the workplace will not have to worry about an-other expense early in their ca-reers. However, if a person under the age of 26 has access to em-ployer coverage of their own they would not be able to stay on their parents’ plan.

Starting this year senior citi-zens in the Medicare drug cover-age gap will receive a $250 rebate check. This will help fill in the doughnut hole in Medicare.

The doughnut hole is the dif-ference of the initial coverage limit and the catastrophic coverage threshold. For example, if some-one using Medicare has out-of-pocket expenses between $2,700 and $6,154 annually on prescrip-

tion drugs they do not receive any compensation from Medicare.

Also, starting this year insur-ers will be prevented from cancel-ling polices of people who get sick while covered as well as denying children with pre-existing health conditions or medical problems.

Another benefit we will see this year is that businesses with fewer than 50 employees will re-ceive a tax credit covering 35 per-cent of their healthcare premiums. The tax credit will increase to 50 percent by 2014.

This should help small busi-nesses cover their employees as well as free up budgets to hire more help with the money they will be saving.

Starting this year all new in-

On Wednesday, March 24, Elisabeth Daniels, a senior mathematics and music

major, won a prize at the Second Annual Integration Bee which was held at Lakeland College.

A tiny mathematics competi-tion was held at 6:30 p.m. in the Chase building. This contest was organized by the Lakeland College Math Club and mathematics fac-ulty. An alumnus, Dr. Jolson Ng, sponsored the $250 prize.

The Integration Bee was very similar in style to a spelling bee. Calculus problems were written on the whiteboard for each par-ticipant to solve.

There were four rounds, with students being eliminated only when they missed two problems.

Six students participated this year: Elisabeth Daniels, Grace Jairo, Ramsay Crawford, Sean Johnson, Deanna Hildebrand, and Chris Retlich.

It was set up voting-booth-style, and each participant had five minutes to solve each prob-lem. Three students competed si-multaneously at the board.

In the first round, all of the girls, Daniels, Jairo and Hildeb-

rand, had correct answers, and all of the guys missed the question. Then every student missed both the second and third round ques-tions. With all of the students eliminated, everyone was brought back in. The competition would be won by the person who could first answer two problems cor-rectly. In the last round, Daniels was the only person to answer a second problem correctly.

“The first and last problems were easy. For the second prob-lem I didn't remember the formula correctly, and for the third, I tried to do the problem the hard way. It was close,” said Daniels.

Only six students participat-ed this year, but the competition is open to all Lakeland students. It is not necessary to be a math major to compete.

The grand prize, the $250 Dr. Jolson Ng Award, is definitely worth reviewing problems and formulas for a few hours if stu-dents still have some calculus knowledge. Dr. Jolson Ng, who donated to the Integration Bee, is a chemistry alumnus and the first ever international student to get a science degree from Lakeland.

The third annual contest will be held around the same time of year in 2011.

surance plans must provide cover-age for preventative services with-out co-pay, and by 2018 all plans must comply.

The adoption tax credit will increase by $1,000 this year. The bill makes the credit refundable and extends it through 2011.

An interesting tax added by this bill is a ten percent tax on the amount paid for indoor tanning services starting July 1.

These immediate changes might seem insignificant, but they do aid those that need help now. Other more significant changes will be occurring in the future.

The Medicare payroll tax will take effect in 2011. This tax increases the payroll tax from 1.45 percent to 2.35 percent for

individuals earning more than $200,000 and for married couples filing jointly making more than $250,000.

By 2013, health plans must have implemented a uniform stan-dard for electronic exchange of medical records. This will reduce paperwork and keep administra-tion costs low.

By 2014, insurers can no lon-ger discriminate or refuse to sell or renew policies to people with a pre-existing health condition.

Although most of the immedi-ate change will be superficial and true change is years away, there are several benefits people can al-ready use today.

The fifth annual Internation-al Night will take place on Thursday, April 8 at 7:30

p.m. in the Bradley Building. The event will consist of dancing, mu-sical renditions, skits, and so on being performed by students from seven different countries.

Global Student Association (GSA) hosts this event during the spring and International Food Fes-tival in the fall. Each event is held to promote cultural awareness on campus. The Food Festival helps educate students, faculty, and staff about other countries by exposing them to different cuisines.

International Night portrays other areas of culture through dif-ferent artistic expressions such as traditional dances and songs.

Pratikshya Bhandari, the special events coordinator for GSA, said, “International Night gives students an opportunity to experience other countries with-out actually going to them, but it

will hopefully spark an interest in students and make them want to travel to those countries.

“This night lets Lakeland see who we [international students] are and how similar everyone in the world really is without having to take a semester long course.”

Like last year, there will be seven countries putting on per-formances this year. Returning countries are China, Japan, Kenya, Korea, and Malawi. New to Inter-national Night are the countries of India and Taiwan.

“Come out and support us,” said Bhandari. “We would really appreciate it. It is a really fun way to spend one hour of your night.”

International Night is a con-vocation event. No tickets are re-quired to attend the performance, and it is open to the public. “Last year the audience was essentially split 50/50 between the commu-nity and Lakeland staff and stu-dents,” said Bhandari. “We hope more students and faculty come to the event this year.”

Int'l Night here againGSA to host annual cultural eventOn Thursday, March 4, a

rally against raising tu-ition was held at the Uni-

versity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM). More than 100 people joined it and 16 protesters were arrested.

The rally started at UWM’s Student Union at noon with people clamoring to stop UWM’s tuition increase. Then, the protes-tors marched to Chapman Hall, where UWM’s executive offices are located.

The protestors demanded that Chancellor Carlos E. Santiago take a pay cut. Only one represen-tative was invited to talk with the chancellor in his office, but others also tried to enter the room.

When Santiago refused, some protesters became violent. UWM security reacted first, but UWM’s security chief asked Milwaukee police for assistance. The police used pepper spray against the pro-testers to stop the rally.

Similar protests against tu-ition increases occurred in about 30 other states.

It was a part of a National Day to Defend Higher Education.

California’s huge budget cut is serious is gaining national atten-tion. For instance, the University of California system has increased its tuition for resident undergrad-uate students from $7,788 in fall 2009 to $10,302 in fall 2010.

The budget cut for higher education in Wisconsin was also severe for these two years. Ac-cording to Wisn.com, the entire University of Wisconsin system budget was cut $255 million, and UWM was cut $20 million.

Since 2007, tuition has in-creased 5.5 percent each year.

Budget cuts influenced not only students, but also faculty, ad-ministrators, and staff took about a 5 percent hit to their salaries.

In the 2009-2010 academic year, tuition and required fees for the University of Wisconsin sys-tem is an average of $8,314 for un-dergraduate resident students.

Generally, freshmen take Core I, juniors take Core II, and seniors take Core

III. All this is about to change next year as Lakeland will now allow sophomores to take Core II and juniors to take Core III.

“There were a number of pro-fessors over a period of time that noticed there was a big gap be-tween students learning critical thinking skills in Core I and learn-ing them in Core II,” said General Studies Division Chair and Profes-sor of Writing Jeff Elzinga.

By opening Core III to juniors and giving Lakeland students two extra semesters to take the class, Lakeland anticipates students will not have to worry about tak-ing Core III, their major’s capstone class, applying to graduate school, and finding a job in the same aca-demic year.

The change will also allow se-niors who have taken Core III as a junior to apply the skills learned in it to their capstone class.

Change comes to Core classesCore II soon open to sophomores, Core III to juniorsBy Carlos MillanFun House Editormillanc@lakeland.edu

Core classes help students’ improve communication skills, become more knowledgeable in different disciplines, and refine problem-solving skills.

The backbone that connects all of the Core classes is the criti-cal thinking skills students build. Critical thinking skills help stu-dents analyze situations, think through problems, reason, and understand what other people’s motivations and biases are as well as one’s own.

Freshmen taking Core I in their first semester do not have to wait to take Core II in their fifth or sixth semester. By shortening the time between Core I and Core II the faculty will look forward to students retaining more from the Core classes as well as Core I and Core II connecting more.

Lakeland is expecting a big bump in the fall with the num-ber of students enrolled in a Core class, but expect the number to re-turn to normal in later years.

With the number of students enrolled in the Core classes in-creasing next year, Lakeland plans

on adding more sections to the Core class.

This proposal has countless hours of work attached to it. Fac-ulty members spent time building the presentation for the different division meetings as well as for the committee that voted on it.

To illustrate the process, all faculty members are members of the General Studies Division and any changes that General Studies makes goes through the General Studies meetings first.

The proposal was presented in the General Studies Division meetings. After much debate the division voted on and passed it.

The proposal was then voted on by the On Campus Curriculum Committee which consists of one member from each division. So, once the committee voted and passed the proposal, it went to the entire Lakeland faculty.

The Lakeland faculty then had to do the final vote. Once it was approved the proposal was put into the school’s curriculum.

Formally, the proposal was passed in April 2009.

When domestic students face a tuition increase, international students are put in a much more serious situation.

For state universities, it is reasonable that non-resident stu-dents pay more than domestic stu-dents because they do not pay tax-es to the state. Many international students know the tuition and fees can be expensive in the U.S., but most still want to study in the U.S. to get a good education.

The students who are staying with an F-1 visa are not allowed to have part-time jobs outside of the campus and also find it difficult to get scholarships at state universi-ties. Compared with the $8,314 tuition for resident students, non-resident students have to pay $23,063.

When non-American students are planning to seek a degree in the U.S., they have to budget more than $100,000 at a minimum.

Other universities in Wiscon-sin, such as Marquette, also plan to raise undergraduate tuition by 4.75 percent in 2010 to $30,040.

The third annual Science and Engineering Fair took place at Lakeland on Satur-

day, March 5 in the Chase Center. The Chemistry Club and StWEA joined together to host the com-petition. High schools and middle schools participated in the event and two winners were selected to go to nationals.

At the fair there were a total of nine projects from four high schools: Sheboygan South, Sheboy-gan North, Bayfield, and Oneida Nation High Green Bay. One of the winners was Alice Zhao from She-boygan North, and her project was titled “Novel Heating Approach in Dynamic Spraying of Nanoparti-cles.” Gena Gephart from Bayfield also won a trip to nationals and her project was titled “Monitor-ing Lake Superior Seiches,” which explained how the weather affects the standing waves in an enclosed body of water.

The Lakeland Chemistry Club and StWEA also teamed up to host Science Fun Day on Sat-urday, March 6. Students from Holy Family School in Sheboygan attended the event in the Chase Center. There were various sci-ence projects, posters were pre-sented, and the students did three science activities.

The kids presented projects they had been working on, and Lakeland students then judged the projects based on how much fun the kids seemed to have, how much work they put into the proj-ect, how well they answered ques-tions, and how well they demon-strated their understanding of the scientific method. The kids also watched Lakeland science stu-dents conduct experiments dem-

Vice President Grace Jairo con-ducted an experiment called “In-stant Snow Polymer” in which the polymer expands once water is added – making fake snow. This is a method used to produce fake snow in movies.

Junior Dale Wieselman dem-onstrated an experiment in which he lit a candle and mixed baking soda with vinegar. The baking soda and vinegar combined to pro-duce carbon dioxide, eventually extinguishing the candle when the three components were housed in an enclosed space.

“It went really well,” Jairo said. “We didn’t have as many kids, but I think they had fun. The kids looked so excited.”

Jairo also said that partici-pating in the science fair is a good experience for education majors who have an interest teaching in the science field.

“I love [participating in the science fair]. I love teaching kids,” Jairo said.

The Intel International Sci-ence and Engineering Fair will take place in San Jose, Cal. from May 9 through May 14. It is the world’s largest pre-college sci-ence and engineering competi-tion. About 1,500 young scientists and engineers will compete for nearly $4 million in awards and scholarships, and the top three award winners will each receive a $50,000 scholarship. For more in-formation about the competition, visit the fair’s Web site at www.isef2010sanjose.org.

Any education majors with a science emphasis interested in participating in the science fair next year may contact Assistant Professor of Biochemistry Jeff Schwehm.

Lakeland brings local leaders for mock interviewsAre you ready to get a job?

As the commencement cer-emony approaches, most of the senior students will

leave their alma mater and start a new life in society. Now, they are facing the fierce competition from outside, and using all their efforts to get an ideal job. To find a desirable job is not a tough task only for the graduating senior, but is also a challenge for everyone who is now studying in college. What can we do to gain a good start for a future career? The first step should be to leave a good impression during the job interview.

The interview is key to get-ting a job. No matter how good at the position you may be, if you cannot perform well during the interview, you still cannot get the job. A great way to gain an advan-tage over your competition is to be well practiced. The more experi-ence you have, the better you can do in the interview. The mock in-terview, which was held on March 10, gave students great experience for their future job hunt.

Ashley Paulson, senior mar-keting major, said, “The mock interview experience was so help-ful. I received great feedback from Donna and really encourage more students to practice interview-ing.”

The interviewers were Deb Morgan, Kelli Bruns, Donna Wendlendt, Pam Gamb, and Mark Holzman. Most of them graduated

from Lakeland College, and are now managers or leaders in their respective fields, making them highly qualified interviewers.

The mock interview was very similar to a real interview. Applicants signed up with Jess Lambrecht, admissions and career services counselor, before they could participate in the interview. They also needed to submit their resumes and cover letters so the interviewers could choose specific

tographers, and attend seminars presented by experts in the horse field. Fee charged.

Lil’ Rev and Company – a Mid-western travelling musician

and storyteller – Saturday, April 17, 7 p.m., Plymouth Arts Cen-ter, 520 East Mill Street, Plym-outh, 920-892-8409, www.plym-outharts.org

Lil’ Rev is an award-winning multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and music historian who teaches and tours nationally. His many awards and frequent travels have garnered him a loyal and grow-ing fan base amongst lovers of all things ukulele, folk, old time, har-monica, Jewish music and culture, and American labor history. It is a combination of songs, history, stories, poems, quotes, and jokes all wrapped up in a cloak of exu-berance and gratitude for those moments when we can all come together and rise up singing…and celebrate life. For more informa-tion on Lil’ Rev go to www.lilrev.com.

questions to ask.The interview lasted 30 min-

utes for each student and consist-ed of three parts.

The first part was the intro-duction of the mock interview. The second part was basically a series of questions and answers. The last part was an evaluation of the interviewee’s performance. In this part, the interviewers would evaluate how the interview went and gave advice based on nine

characteristics: appearance, prep-aration, communication skills, direction, maturity or poise, sin-cerity, personality, qualifications, and an overall evaluation.

Since the purpose of the inter-view was to give students experi-ence, the students also needed to do some homework for it. Before the interview, they needed to pre-pare for the general questions. If necessary, they also needed to do some research about interviews.

On the day of the mock interview, students were ex-pected to dress in a profession-al manner – the first part of the evaluation for the interviewers. During the interview, inter-viewers asked general ques-tions based on the students’ re-sumes which were most likely to be asked in real job inter-views. Answering these ques-tions, students could experi-ence what a real interview is like, how to respond in proper ways, how to behave, and how to ask the interviewers ques-tions.

Afterwards, the inter-viewers completed the evalu-ation sheet and told the stu-dents what their strengths and weaknesses were. Then they would give some sug-gestions, like how to reply in a better way, how to answer some unexpected questions, and so on.

Though it was a mock in-terview, students still can get a lot from it. Everyone wants to give a good impression to

potential employers, so using mock interviews to improve such skills is an effective method.

Meet the newest Rockstars to rock Lakeland CollegeResidence Life weLcomes new RAs And APAs to the stAff

Finally, after countless hours of interviews and discus-sions, the new leaders of the

Lakeland College campus have been announced. Yes, I realize that they have been released in the “Muskie Happenings,” BUT do you actually know who they are? I’m guessing probably not. So here they are, your nine new RAs or APAs of Lakeland College. Drum roll please…

Welcome…Adam Miller

Adam is a junior sports studies major and psychology minor. Adam will be living in Muehlmeier Hall next year. The reason why Adam wanted to become an RA is because he thinks it will be a great experi-ence. He wants to be able to get to know more people and help them en-joy their time here at Lakeland Col-lege. One thing many people do not know about Adam is that he writes lyrics and poetry and has completed over 100 pieces.

AmAndA Wilfert

Amanda is a junior marketing major. Amanda will be one of the RAs in Krueger Hall next year. Amanda chose to apply to be an RA because it would be an amazing opportunity. When Amanda first came to Lake-land, she really enjoyed the family-like structure. Amanda applied to be an RA so she could also help people and implement the family-like atmo-sphere.

One unknown fact about Aman-da is that she is like an open book; there is not much she hides from people.

Rachel Nieman

Rachel is a junior and is majoring in elementary education. Rachel will be Muehlmeier Hall’s new APA. Rachel chose to apply to be an APA because she thought it would be great experience for her since she wants to become a teacher. Rachel loves the Green Bay Packers, es-pecially Aaron Rodgers. :)

Becky Meyer

Becky is a junior and is double major-ing in writing and Spanish. Becky will be the new APA in Brotz Hall. Becky chose to be an APA because she really enjoys helping other students. Something no one knows about Becky is that one of her favorite bands is Led Zeppelin.

Sara Smet

Sara is a junior and is majoring in

criminal justice. Sara will be an RA in Hofer. Sara chose to apply for the RA po-sition because she believed it would be a great opportunity for her to experience something new and challenging. Some-thing that most people don’t know about Sara is that she loves to travel to new and exotic places.

Jessie Eichner

Jessie is a freshman this year at Lake-land College. She’s planning on majoring in psychology. Jessie will accompany Becky in Brotz Hall, but as an RA. Jessie applied to be an RA because she felt that this would better shape her as a person. Jessie also feels like she would be able to learn a lot from an experience such as this. Also, from being an RA, Jessie be-lieves she would be more involved with campus life and getting to know people. Something interesting about Jessie is that centipedes give her the “Hebbie- Jebbies.”

Kaylin Olson

Kaylin is a freshman accounting ma-jor. Kaylin will also venture with Becky and Jessie over to Brotz Hall. Kaylin ap-plied to be an RA because she wanted to become more involved on campus and she feels this position would give her an opportunity to get to know people bet-ter. She hates pickles, so don’t leave an open jar of pickles in the lounge fridge.

Lizzy Van Oss

Lizzy is a freshman and is planning on majoring in Nonprofit Management. Lizzy will help run Muehlmeier Hall along with Adam and Rachel. Lizzy wanted to apply to be an RA because she wants the great experience and all the fun and excitement that comes with it. Something not everyone knows about Lizzy is that she is a vegetarian.

Craig Clark

Craig is a freshman here at Lake-land College and plans to major in education. Craig will be the new RA in Grosshuesch Hall. Craig chose to be an RA because he sees it as a great op-portunity to help new students adjust to college and to help prepare himself for his future career as a teacher. Some-thing you might not know about Craig is that he’s a diehard Packers, Penguins, Bucks, and Brewers fan.

M I R R O R 9

It’s probably not an easy job to fill the shoes of Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renee Zellweger, Queen

Latifah, and Richard Gere—all stars of the 2002 Miramax Films’ production of “Chicago”—but the cast of Lakeland’s latest theatre production put on a brilliant per-formance in the Bradley Building last weekend.

The basic plot of “Chicago” centers on two obviously guilty murderesses: Roxie Hart, played by April Wasmer, and Velma Kel-ly, played by Clarissa Dimel. They both hire a pop star defense attor-ney (Billy Flynn played by Cody Linder) who promises to clear their names with a little “razzle dazzle.”

“Chicago” is the third musical that Charlie Krebs has directed at Lakeland since he was hired as as-sistant professor of theatre three years ago. Based on standing ova-tions and audience comments, it appears to have been his best. Janet Herrick, associate professor of music said, “There was a very positive atmosphere [in the Brad-ley]. Seeing the accomplishments of the students was very reward-ing.”

Two of the most memorable songs and dances of the show were the “Cell Block Tango” and “Razzle Dazzle”—the circus style courtroom scene. The rolling jail cells in the former scene were unique props and the wide array of colors, parasols, and hula hoops in the latter made the dance par-ticularly attention-grabbing, since a majority of the costumes in the play were a basic black.

An interesting attribute of this show was that the band was up on a platform in the middle of the stage instead of down in the pit. This left more space for the dance sequences. The entire set was very well-designed for that purpose as well. Scenery could be slid in and out from either side of the stage to increase the function-ality of the limited space.

Performers would occasion-

ally present a song from the band platform, enhancing the experi-ence of a two-level extravaganza. The professional musicians were fun to watch, and they maintained an exciting pace from one jazzy number to the next.

The play “Chicago” was per-fectly suited to the talent available in this year’s vocal standouts. All three of the female leads, Dimel, Wasmer, and Emily Rendall-Arau-jo (Matron Mama Morton) were convincing in their acting, fluid in their dancing, and, as expected, in command of their singing.

One of Dimel’s highlights was her musical plea “I Can’t Do It Alone,” which entailed some cartwheel acrobatics on a chair while delivering a zesty vocal performance. “It was difficult for me to get into character and act extremely sassy all the time,” she said.

Wasmer’s performance of “Roxie” was another memorable number. A sudden stardom in-spires a swinging song and dance with Wasmer gracefully sur-rounded by adoring boys.

Rendall-Araujo’s character came to life in the song “When You’re Good to Mama,” with dance moves and hip swinging that clearly delighted the audi-ence.

Linder was outstanding as the confident, fast-talking defense lawyer who was more interested in “love” than in justice.

David Neese smoothly pulled the storyline together as emcee. There were few wasted moments in transitions from scene to scene.

Other highlights included the outrageously fun performance of Kati Jendraszak as Mary Sunshine and Aaron Kraemer’s humorous performance as Roxie’s neglected “invisible” husband Amos Hart.

Minor technical problems caused feedback during the first two performances, but the last two performances went very smoothly.

Thinking ahead for a sustainable campus

The argument that sustain-able and renewable energy programs are not cost ef-

fective has been proven false by numerous campuses across the country, as well as many campus-es within Wisconsin.

Opportunities now exist for colleges and universities to insti-tute sustainable programs that not only benefit our environment, but have also become cost-effective. As Lakeland looks to the future, consideration should be given to implementing sustainable prac-tices and renewable energy on campus.

College campuses are a great microcosm of the larger world around us, not just in the physical sense that the buildings and infra-structure create a community of its own, but in the notion that the opportunity exists for students to incorporate models for green living which they will carry with them as they enter corporate and public sectors of America and be-yond.

Colleges and universities across the nation are fast becom-ing aware of this burgeoning movement – and the reasons are not just environmental. The eco-nomics of going green are benefit-ting the bottom line of many cam-puses around the nation.

A 2008 study by The College of William and Mary (jtrobe.peo-ple.wm.edu/press%20release%20campus%20greening.pdf) found that an increasing number of stu-dents are selecting colleges based on the school’s sustainability ef-forts. The study also found that an overwhelming 85 percent of those

students were also willing to pay $20 more per month to live in sus-tainable housing.

The Princeton Review’s an-nual college guide now includes a “Green” rating for colleges and uni-versities. The criteria covers three broad areas: whether the school’s students have a campus quality of life that is healthy and sustainable, how well the school is preparing its students for employment and citizenship in a world defined by environmental challenges, and the school's overall commitment to environmental issues.

When renewable energy pro-grams are implemented the savings in energy costs can be significant. Through renewable and energy-ef-ficient efforts at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, the campus is projected to save an anticipated 1.2 million kilowatts of energy per year – the equivalent of the energy required to power 125 homes in Wisconsin. It is estimated that the university will enjoy an energy savings of $97,000 on their annual energy bills.

The College of William and Mary study also found that in-stitutions that put sustainable programs into action are more likely to have students follow suit and take initiatives to curb en-ergy costs on campuses. In other words, when colleges and univer-sities emphasize and implement sustainable practices, the student body will follow their efforts and help to reduce energy costs.

Student-implemented pro-grams have proven to be effective in cost savings as well as offering real world experience to students.

Students at the University of Vermont instituted a light bulb swap in 2004. The program is sim-ple: replace incandescent bulbs

with energy efficient compact fluorescent bulbs. In the first five years of the program the savings to the University have amounted to just under $16,000 and have saved nearly 12 tons of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmo-sphere each year.

At Northland College in Ash-land, Wis., students helped to re-search and install a 2.1 kilowatt so-lar photovoltaic panel which was tied into the university president’s house. The solar array generates enough electricity to offset the an-nual electrical consumption of the house and helps prevent approxi-mately 3.1 tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. The project was funded by private donations and state funded energy grants. The savings in electricity is expected to pay for the installa-tion in approximately 16 years, and the panels are expected to last 50 years with minimal maintenance requirements.

Even Congress has recognized the unique role of higher education in sustainable efforts. In passing the Higher Education Opportu-nity Act of 2008, Congress autho-rized a University Sustainability Program that offers competitive grants to institutions to develop, implement, and evaluate sustain-able curricula, practices, and aca-demic programs (www.ed.gov/policy/highered/leg/hea08/index.html). Focus on Energy (www.focusonenergy.com) works with Wisconsin businesses to install cost effective renewable energy projects and help reduce overall energy costs.

What can be done at Lake-land to create a more sustainable campus?

A search on Lakeland’s Web site showcases the enormous ef-

forts that Dining Services are making towards sustainabil-ity through composting, reducing disposable waste, reducing energy use by purchasing energy efficient equipment, and purchasing locally produced food when possible.

These efforts provide an op-portunity for Lakeland to promote sustainability to potential stu-dents as well as potential donors. During events and fundraisers - the upcoming Movers and Shakers Gala in which Dining Services ca-ters the event comes to mind and would seemingly provide a great opportunity to promote Dining Services’ sustainable activities to a large portion of influential area residents - let attendees know that Lakeland is moving towards implementing sustainable prac-tices.

The college should also con-sider renewable energy sources when moving forward with new building construction on campus. Many Wisconsin colleges and uni-versities have incorporated solar energy, solar hot water, and wind energy into new construction. It’s not always because it’s the envi-ronmentally conscious thing to do, but these institutions see the financial return in doing so.

Buildings on campuses are de-signed for long term use, and long term use and return on invest-ment go hand in hand when uti-lizing renewable energies. Thanks to the recent boom of sustainable practices as an investment among colleges and universities, there are numerous companies in south-eastern Wisconsin that specialize in writing site assessments and grants for institutions consider-ing renewable energy in new con-struction as well as retrofitting current facilities.

Students can also become more involved in sustainability. Let the administration know that you are aware of the efforts in place and would support future efforts. Pay attention to current recycling efforts and place the cor-rect items in the correct recycling bins – actions speak louder than words (sorry for the cliché, Pro-fessor Elder). Consider research-ing and implementing renewable energy programs for future Core classes.

It used to be that going green ended at recycling efforts, a more fuel efficient vehicle, ensuring safe drinking water, or replacing a commute by car with public transportation. However, every-where you turn nowadays the idea of going green has infiltrated all aspects of our lives.

Producers of what we eat and drink and manufacturers of goods and services we purchase (all potential future employers of college graduates) have jumped on the green bandwagon. It is safe to say that the green movement has made its largest strides in the last decade and, by all indications, is here to stay.

Students entering Lakeland (as well as potential students mak-ing the decision on which college to attend) are part of a generation that grew up being bombarded with environmental causes. It is what they know. It has become a habit and it is influencing their decisions.

And it should be a consider-ation in the decision making pro-cess of all institutes of higher edu-cation when it comes to changes to current policies and to making plans for future development.

The Lakeland men’s volley-ball team seized their third Wisconsin Volleyball Con-

ference (WVC) Tournament title in the last four years on Saturday, March 13.

To reach the championship match, Lakeland had to fight off UW-Stevens Point and UW-La Crosse in the opening rounds. Lakeland plowed through UW-Stevens Point, 25-11, 29-27, and won an interesting match against UW-La Crosse, 21-25, 25-23, 15-12, despite losing the opening set.

Lakeland also faced UW-Stout, winning 25-10, 25-18.

The Muskies then faced UW-Platteville in the quarterfinals and won, 25-11, 25-9. Advancing to the semifinals, Lakeland was pitted against UW-Whitewater, who almost ended the team’s run at the title. Lakeland won the first set 25-20, but then lost the second set 21-25. In the third set the team was down early, but pulled out an impressive run to win the match.

“We were down 9-6 in the third set, so we made a heck of a run to end the match,” Lake-land coach Chad Schreiber said. “That was the first good match we played in weeks, and it set the table for the championship.”

In the championship match the Muskies defeated team rival UW-Oshkosh in another impres-sive match. The team took the opening set 25-18. The Muskies surrendered a 17-12 lead in the sec-ond set, before ultimately losing the set 24-26.

The third set had more drama and tension as the final score was 16-14 Lakeland. The team fell be-hind in the third set early, but was capable of recovering – taking the

title.After the championship

match, middle hitter graduate Avdo Omerbegovic was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player. Outside hitter graduate student Joe Julkowski and outside hitter freshman Dane Maier joined Omerbegovic on the All-Tourna-ment team.

Sophomore outside hitter Chris Guimon was named to the JV All-Tournament team.

Following the tournament, several of Lakeland’s student-athletes were honored for their achievements during the 2010 sea-son.

Julkowski, the league’s sea-son kills leader, received the WVC Co-MVP honors. Omerbegovic, who led the conference and is the school’s all-time leader in blocks, also collected All-WVC team hon-ors.

Sophomore libero Andrew Cheever led the league in digs.

The Muskies also garnered a pair of academic awards. Senior right side Dan Judkins received the conference’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year honor, while senior outside hitter Tyler Thiesfeldt was named academic All-WVC.

The team then faced five more opponents in the Midwestern In-tercollegiate Volleyball Associa-tion Championships (MIVA) on Saturday, March 27 through the 28.

The Muskies faced Minneso-ta early Saturday, defeating them 25-13, 27-29, 15-9. Later they faced Grand Valley State and beat them in straight sets, 25-12, 25-9.

The team then lost in straight sets to Illinois, 25-17, 25-21, before winning their last match of the day versus Baldwin Wallace, 25-7, 25-20.

On the second day of the

MIVA, the Muskies started with a win versus Wisconsin, 25-16, 25-13, to reach the quarterfinals. The Muskies then lost in the quarter-final to Notre Dame, 16-25, 25-23, 13-15.

The Muskies started strong, but were unable to maintain their high level of play against a tough Notre Dame team.

Throughout the tournament Julkowski led the team with 55 kills and four service aces. Sopho-more setter Mitch Wiskirchen helped push the offense with 137 assists, while Omerbegovic led the defense with 19 blocks.

The team now heads to Lou-isville, KY to commence play in the National Collegiate Volley-ball Federation (NCVF) National Championship April 1 through April 3.

The Muskies will face teams from Illinois to Virginia in this national tournament. Teams like Boston College and California Berkeley will be contending for the title along with Lakeland.

The Muskies won the na-tional title in 2008 and haven’t finished outside of the top ten in the tournament since the 2003-04 season.

There will be a live webcast-ing for the championship matches and the broadcast will coincide with play-by-play announcers. Anyone interested in viewing the championship matches may login via the NCVF volleyball website.

Along with the Web broad-casting, the NCVF volleyball Web site will have daily results up-dates.

The team left campus Wednesday morning at 4 a.m. en route to Louisville, and we can ex-pect nothing but their best effort in the tournament.

ed the Muskies 10-2.“They were very skilled and

clinical finishers. We showed a few signs of life as well as a will-ingness to fight in this game, but it just wasn’t enough,” said Madsen.

After that they headed south to London and stopped by Wind-sor Castle, home of the royal fam-ily, where they were able to see centuries of history as well as trea-sures, riches, and artwork belong-ing to the monarchy in the castle.

Over the next two days they toured downtown London. They toured Stamford Bridge, Chelsea Football Club’s home field, and also witnessed the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, the Supreme Court, Parliament, Big Ben in St. Stephen’s Tower, the London Eye, London Bridge, the Tower of Lon-don, and many other famous at-

tractions. During their last game they

took on the Woodley Saints from Reading and had their game short-ened due to a scheduling conflict. Also, the Saints did not arrive un-til twenty minutes after the initial start time of the game. Regardless of the conflicts, they were able to play and came out on top winning 1-0 with a goal from senior Ryan Malo assisted by sophomore Troy Eichenberger.

On Saturday, March 20, they headed south to Portsmouth on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean and saw Admiral Nelson’s HMS Victory, the HMS Warrior, and the Mary Ryan. Afterwards, they were able to experience an English Premier League match between Hull City and Portsmouth.

On the last day of the trip, their tour guide thanked the group

for the wonderful experience and gave them all great impetus for what they could do as soccer play-ers as well as people. “The trip was a great learning experience, but a fantastic time as well. Ev-ery minute of effort and planning was worth it for the smiles on the players’ faces,” said Madsen. Lake-land soccer will not take another organized trip like this for another three years.

Sophomore defender Joey Salazar said, “The experience was awesome and the sights were in-credible. The whole experience in general was well worth it and I was glad to have such an amazing opportunity and experience.”

The Muskies returned home with a 1-2 record, doing well de-spite a difficult time change and the sheer excitement of touring the United Kingdom.

and walked the first two Cardinal batters he faced.

Lakeland managed to score two runs in the bottom half of the inning to make the final score 11-3.

In game 2, sophomore Garrett Morris held Plattsburgh St. score-less through three and two-thirds innings before giving up four runs on a combination of walks, hits, and errors. The Cardinals grabbed five runs in the next 2 innings to seal the victory.

“It was a new game, but it was the same story as the first game,” Thousand said. “We pitched well early but lost command of the strike zone, and Plattsburgh capi-talized.”

On March 18, Lakeland got 14 hits in a 10-run-rule-shortened 11-1 win over Minnesota-Morris.

Chitwood picked up the com-plete game victory, scattering five allowed hits over eight innings.

Young set the tone from the leadoff spot all day for the Musk-ies with four hits, four stolen bags, and three runs scored.

“Chitwood pitched a great game,” Thousand said. “He got ahead in the count, threw a ton of strikes and trusted the defense to make plays. The defense played well and the offense produced.”

Seven Muskies ended the game with at least one RBI.

“This says how well they’ve prepared building up to the trip. They knew what they had to fix and they worked hard on fixing it,” Thousand said.

The team lost both seven-inning games of a doubleheader against Bethel, 6-5 and 8-0, on March 19.

A single by Young in the top of the seventh put the go-ahead on with one out. Sophomore out-fielder Mike Huber struck out and Novak flew out to end the first

The Lakeland baseball team went 6-4 over spring break at the Gene Cusic Classic

in Ft. Meyers, Fla., starting the 2010 year with 10-3 and 9-1 wins in a doubleheader against Finlan-dia on March 14.

In game 1, junior pitcher Matt Katzman allowed eight hits and struck out six while allowing just one earned run.

The Muskie offense provided the right-hander with support early, scoring six runs in the first three innings. Junior shortstop Brad Young hit a two-RBI single in the second, which scored Cal Post and Mike Ruzek, juniors. Post and Ruzek later had a pair of RBI hits in the third inning. Post went 4-of-4 on the day with a double, two RBIs, and a pair of stolen bases.

“Katzman struggled a little bit, but battled through and kept the Lions off-balanced enough to complete the game,” said Lakeland baseball coach Chris Thousand. “The team came out with a lot of fire and focus, which is good to see on the first day of the year.”

In game 2, freshman Andy Chitwood allowed only three hits and struck out six in his Lakeland debut.

“Chitwood stole the show on the day with his great outing,” Thousand said. “He located his pitches well and showed great poise.”

Lakeland led early after a four run second inning. Junior Jeremy Williams, who stole three bases in the game, led the second inning charge with a two-RBI single in the frame.

Ruzek and senior Lee Chepil, Lakeland’s No. 1 and 2 pitchers, respectively, tossed complete

games in two 7-1 victories against Millikin on March 15.

In the first contest, Ruzek gave up only one hit in the first six innings before giving up his only run in the bottom of the seventh. Ruzek struck out seven Millikin batters in the seven-inning game.

Junior second baseman Ryan Polizzi drove in a pair of runs with a two-out double in the top of the seventh inning. Polizzi was one of four Lakeland batters with at least two hits in the game.

In the second game of the doubleheader Chepil allowed sev-en hits and struck out five.

“Lee had great command of all his pitches,” Thousand said. “He got ahead in the count throughout the game and kept the Millikin hitters off-balance.

“Usually the number one thing that hurts us coming out

of the gym is our defense, but it was really good in the first four games.”

Senior Jacob Heinemeyer and junior David Novak batted in two runs each for a Muskie team that had five players finish with two hits in the game.

Lakeland lost 11-3 and 9-3 in a doubleheader against Plattsburgh St. on March 16.

The Muskies accumulated a whopping 26 hits in the double-header but stranded 18 runners on base and experienced pitching er-rors at key moments in the losses.

In game 1, Plattsburgh St. turned the game on its head quickly, taking a 3-1 before defeat-ing the Muskies 11-1 in the top of the ninth inning. Junior starter Ryan Polizzi surrendered three consecutive hits with one-out before Williams came on as relief

game 6-5. Katzman took the loss in the

game for a Lakeland team that stranded runners during the con-test.In game 2, Ruzek gave up four runs in the top of the third inning as Bethel took a 5-0 lead. Sopho-more Erik Kozey relieved for the remainder of the game. Lakeland’s offense managed only three hits in the contest.

Lakeland closed their spring break trip with a win as Chepil tossed his second complete game in a 5-1 victory against Bethel on March 20.

The right-hander improved to 2-0 on the season, scattering seven hits and four walks against while striking out five. The win gave Lakeland a 6-4 record in Florida, the team’s first .500 or above re-cord there since 2003 when the team went 5-5.

Leading 2-0, a pair of walks followed by sacrifice outs by sophomore Stephen Kalina and freshman Cody Riemer brought in three runners for Lakeland.

“We were stranding runners in the first two games—we were one hit away from getting wins,” Thousand said. “It showed a lot of character in our guys that we were able to come back against [Bethel].”

Thousand complimented the pitching of Chepil and Chitwood, who each went 2-0 in Florida, as well as the batting of Young and Post, who posted batting averages above .400.

“Our pitching and our de-fense met expectations in Florida, and our hitting exceeded expecta-tions. We’re looking for more con-sistency so we can build off of this good start,” Thousand said.

Lakeland traveled to Apple-ton on March 31 for a doublehead-er against Lawrence.

Soccer team travels to England over breakMembers of soccer teams spend spring break in soccer-crazed countryBy nicole GeurtSStaff Reportergeurtsg@lakeland.edu

Over Spring Break, the Lakeland College men’s soccer team traveled the

farthest of all sports teams, head-ing all the way to England. They departed from Chicago O’Hare airport after a delay and started making the seven hour journey to a new experience.

After arriving in England they were greeted by David Owen who would be their tour guide throughout the week. Before even saying a word he pointed down to his watch signaling that they were late because of the delay. “I could tell that it was going to be a fun week from that moment on,” said Head Coach David Madsen.

The team headed to their hotel in Chester, which is east of Wales in the countryside. Once there, they had a chance to practice at a local school and were able to see

the heart of downtown Chester, including a cathedral.

After practicing they headed north to Liverpool, stopping on the way for their first game against

Tranmere Rovers Academy. The Rovers outmatched them and took a 3-0 victory over the team. “Our effort was good, but without much practice it was difficult to

play at the same level,” said Mad-sen.

Taking in sights around the city of Liverpool, the boys were able to experience the Beatles Museum, the Albert Dock, and the largest Catholic cathedral in England.

The next day they made their way north to Manchester. They had some free time and enjoyed a local mall. They also toured Old Trafford Stadium, which is home to world-reknowned soccer club Manchester United, and learned some history about the “Red Dev-ils.” They then played their second game against a semi-professional team, Woodley Sports FC, whose experience showed as they defeat-

Women’s softball .500 in Arizona over breakTennis tops Beloit in last non-conference matchDoubles sweep carries men to 6-3 victory; conference play next

The Lakeland men’s tennis team started their last non-conference match of the

season with three doubles wins and never looked back, defeating Beloit College 6-3 on Saturday, March 27 at the Kohler Sports Core.

The Muskies, who picked up wins in 3 out of 6 singles matches to close out Ripon, finished non-conference play 3-6 after failing to win a non-conference match a season ago.

The freshman doubles team of Andy McGlashen and Jake Halv-erson, playing in the No. 1 slot for the first time this season, scored a narrow 8-6 victory. The remain-ing doubles teams were made up of first-time partners with senior Andre Glass and junior David May combining for an 8-3 victory at No. 2 and juniors Tom Kuehl and Yuki Shiono joining for another 8-3 Lakeland victory.

“It was the first time Yuki and Tom played together in their three years on the team and they played well,” men’s tennis coach Doron Green said. “Dave May played well in doubles, too. He was ag-

gressive to the net, consistent on his serve—I really liked the way he played.”

“Since spring break, we’ve been pretty lethargic as a team and it carried over to this match as we got behind in two-thirds of the doubles matches before we settled down and won all three.”

Andre Glass recorded the most convincing victory of the day, blanking the Buccaneer No. 1 singles player 6-0. The win was Glass’ fifth this year from the No. 1 and No. 2 singles positions.

McGlashen scored a comfort-able 6-2, 6-1 win at No. 2 singles and Shiono defeated Beloit’s No. 4 player 6-3, 6-0 to round out Lake-land’s singles victories.

“We had nine matches versus six last season, and I hoped we’d have an opportunity to win some matches and also play very diffi-cult teams. I think it’s important that we have very difficult non-conference matches to prepare for conference and that we have suc-cesses, as well,” Green said. “My one concern has been that the guys seem tired since spring break, and I hope we haven’t overdone the non-conference schedule.”

“The Northern Athletics Conference’s coaches’ projected

us to finish third this season and I believe that’s where we’ll finish,” Green said. “We have a stronger team than in the past, but it de-pends on what happened around

the conference. If MSOE and Con-cordia Wisconsin dropped off in terms of their talent, we’ll have a good chance to finish higher than third.”

Lakeland hosts Concordia Chicago at 10 a.m. and Dominican at 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 10 at the Kohler Sports Core.

MVPs of the Issue: Sara Roberts and Cassie FeltonSenior pitchers talk about careers; give thoughts on the current season

Following a season with a 30-10 record, a 23 game winning streak, and eleven

single season individual records might intimidate some athletes, but not seniors Sara Roberts and Cassie Felton, the number one and two pitchers on Lakeland’s soft-ball team, respectively.

Roberts, a First-Team All-NAC (Northern Athletics Confer-ence) performer a season ago and the holder of nearly every signifi-cant Lakeland pitching record, in-cluding her latest, a program best 313 career strikeouts, believes this year’s team will do what the 2009 squad could not—win an NAC Championship.

“Winning a 2010 NAC Cham-pionship will be our greatest ac-complishment,” Roberts said without hesitation. “I think we can have a winning streak like last year, a very productive hitting and defensive season, and be the NAC champs.”

Not as forthright as Roberts was her reliever, Felton, who fin-ished 7-2 in 2009 with a solid 3.74 ERA. Felton thinks the team is in a good position to build on last year’s success.

“I hope we improve our chem-istry and unity this season,” Felton said. “We have major potential in not losing anyone [since] last year and I think we can pull through it

if the newcomers think of this as their senior year rather than their freshman year.”

Lakeland softball coach Chad Buchmann and assistant softball coach Jody Monson talked about the abilities of the senior duo, one they have confidence in to lead the team.

“Sara is very focused on get-ting better in practice,” Monson said. “In her freshman year, I think she would throw it as hard as she

could to get it past batters. Now she sets batters up a lot better.”

“Cassie and Sara have been the only four-year pitchers that our program has seen in the last ten years, which says a lot about them,” Buchmann said. “Cassie’s the ultimate team player. She works hard to become a better pitcher and it’s reassuring for me as a coach to have two great pitch-ers in the position.”

A pitching position is one of

the few things Roberts and Fel-ton share, as their capabilities as players differ drastically. When not at the mound, Roberts plays first base. Felton often sees ac-tion at first and second base, along with the outfield. Roberts posted 12 RBIs and two home runs at this season’s Tucson Invitational Games, both team highs, while Felton is a self-proclaimed bun-ting master. Despite their differ-ences, the senior pitchers admire

each others’ talents.“Sara has always been there to

inspire me. Her demeanor on the mound is awesome, and she has taken the team to another level with her intensity, and I believe it has improved everyone’s outlook,” Felton said.

“She has put a lot of hard work and effort into the team,” Roberts said. “She’s a great player and a good leader. She has done a

Women’s softball .500 in Arizona over breakTeam wins first four, loses next four; Cardinal Stritch up next on April 3By Joey o’BrienStaff Reporterobrienj@lakeland.edu

While many of us were relaxing on a cozy couch or kicking

back in the sun, the Lakeland Col-lege softball team spent their time playing ten games at the Tucson Invitational Games.

The team left Lakeland on Saturday, March 13 and flew to Tucson, Ariz. to come back the following Saturday, March 20. The varsity team won five out of their ten games, while the reserve team played five games, winning three.

After starting 4-0 they lost four straight and split the last two games of the week.

Their first game of the week was on March 14 at Lincoln Park where they met Dickinson, and beat them in dominant fashion, 10-1. The Muskies scored their first run when senior infielder KC Blahnik stole home on a wild throw in the first inning.

The Muskies turned on the offense in the third inning, start-ing with a Blahnik triple to right field. Two batters later, senior center fielder Chelsea Coenen singled, bringing Blahnik across the plate. Coenen would go on to score off of a triple by junior short stop Sam Shepeck.

Freshman left fielder Erin Henk then singled to bring Shep-eck home. They ended the inning with four runs off of four hits to give them the early five to nothing score.

Senior Sarah Roberts started on the mound for the Muskies. Roberts recorded six strikeouts, only giving up three hits and one run. Dickinson scored their only run in the bottom of the fifth on a sacrifice fly to left field.

Coenen led the Muskies in scoring as she crossed the plate three times, and brought home three base runners off of her three hits. Henk also had a solid day at bat, recording two hits, an RBI, and contributed two runs herself.

Later that day the Muskies took on Minnesota-Morris, and again the Muskies dominated, outscoring their opponent 17-8. The Muskies were busy in the first three innings of this contest as they took an early 13-0 lead off of 12 hits.

Minnesota-Morris scored its first two runs in the bottom of the fourth, and added its final six runs in the bottom of the fifth. Lakeland did not score another run until the top of the sixth, when they scored four more to put Minnesota-Mor-ris out of reach.

Roberts hit her first home run of the season; she also brought in four RBIs. Senior pitcher Cassie Felton was on the mound for the Muskies. She recorded nine strike-outs, and with the help of good de-fense, only allowed five hits.

On March 15, the Muskies

were able to rally in the sixth in-ning to push them ahead of May-ville State leading them to a 5-4 victory. Later that evening they went on to win again in dominant fashion against Augsburg.

Mayville State started this game strong with two runs in each of the first two innings, giv-ing them a 4-0 start. In the third inning, starting pitcher Henk was relieved by Roberts.

Trailing 4-3 against Mayville in the bottom of the sixth inning, Freshman outfielder Jenny LaLu-zerne singled in Henk to tie the game at 4-4. LaLuzerne would go on to score to put the Muskies ahead on a double from Shepeck.

Roberts earned the win after shutting out the Mayville bats from when she entered the game in the third inning. Henk and Shep-eck led the Muskies with two hits in three at bats driving in two and one RBI respectfully.

Leading 2-0 against Ausburg, The Muskies rallied a four run in-ning in the fifth en route to a 7-2 victory. Freshman infielder Jessie Eichner and Blahnik started the inning off with two singles. Two batters later Coenen doubled, bringing Eichner across the plate and Blahnik to third.

Roberts then doubled bring-ing home both Coenen and Blah-nik. Henk then singled on an error to bring Roberts across the plate, giving the Muskies a 6-0 lead going into the sixth. Augsburg scored their only two runs in the seventh, but it was too little to late for them, as the Muskies won their fourth game of the tournament.

After a day off the Muskies went on to lose their first two games of the season on March 17, losing a close one to Augsburg 4-3,

and dropping their night game to St. Scholastica 9-2.

The Muskies found them-selves trailing 4-0 after four in-nings. The Muskies left three base runners stranded in the top of the fifth, and finally put points on the board in the sixth with a two-run homerun from Roberts.

Coenen would triple in the top of the seventh, knocking in LaLu-zerne. But after a pitching change, Roberts would score the last out for the Muskies leaving them just short of their fifth straight victory.

The Muskies struggled to hold off St. Scholastica in their night game. Trailing 2-0 in the second inning, the Muskies tied the game when Henk advanced across the plate on a sacrifice fly by Shepeck. Freshman outfielder Haeflinger also scored on this play by an error by the right fielder.

Mistakes in the field and strikeouts on offense held the Muskies to only two runs as they gave up seven more runs in the re-maining four innings.

Roberts recorded her three-hundredth strike-out of her career in her four innings pitched. Fresh-men infielder Brittany Myszka came in to relieve Roberts, and finished the game with a strong performance on the mound.

The Muskies struggles con-tinued into the next day of com-petition as they went on to lose to UW-La Crosse in a 6-2 game, and then dropped their night game against Augsburb, 11-7.

Trailing 2-1 going into the fourth inning, the Muskies were able to tie the game up with a sac-rifice bunt by Shepeck to bring Henk across the plate. However, La Crosse was able to drive in an-other two runs in the bottom of

the fourth, giving them a 4-2 lead.La Crosse would then add an-

other two runs in the bottom of the fifth to give them their four point victory over the Muskies. Roberts was charged with her second loss of the year, and the Muskies the third loss in a row.

Augsburg took an early lead, finding themselves ahead 9-0 be-fore the Muskies rallied with a six run mark in the fourth inning. Trailing 9-6 heading into the final inning of play, the Muskies gave up another two runs in the top of the seventh, and was only able to muster up a single run in the bottom half of the inning, which was not enough in this 11-7 loss to Augsburg.

The Muskies ended their ten game stay on Friday, March 19 at the Tucson Invitational Games with an 8-0 shut-out in five in-nings against Otterbein before losing a tough game against North Central, 20-12.

The Muskies had a four hit, five run second inning to give them an early advantage over Otterbein. Shepeck and Henk opened the in-ning each with a single. Schmitz, the third batter of the inning, singled to right field advancing both Shepeck and Henk across the plate. Later that inning Coenen cleared the bases with a triple to right center to push the Muskies lead to 5-0.

Coenen drove in LaLuzerne again in the fourth inning to give the Muskies a six point advantage. The game ended in the fifth inning when LaLurzerne drove in fresh-man infielder Jenni Klamm with the bases loaded for the game win-ning run.

Coenen went three for three, recording a team high four RBI’s.

Roberts recorded the win in five innings of play. She allowed six hits, and with good defense the Muskies were able to shut out Ot-terbein.

The Muskies fell to North Central in an offensive battle through six innings of play, leav-ing the Muskies to a 5-5 overall record to start the season.

Through four innings of play, the Muskies rallied to take a 12-11 advantage with an eight hit, seven run top of the fifth. Shepeck, Shea-han, Felton, Eichner, freshman infielder Schmitz, and senior in-fielder Demske all opened the in-ning out with singles respectfully. LaLuzerne reached on a fielder’s choice, bringing Eichner across the plate. Coenen then singled on error. Roberts then singled to keep the rally alive, and to bring LaLurzerne home. Sheahan, Shep-eck, and Felton would all reach first base again, before North Cen-tral picked up the third and final out, ending the Muskies rally.

North Central then answered with another solid batting perfor-mance with four hits, adding an-other four runs to its total, giving them the three point advantage, 15-12.

Three fly-outs retired the Muskies sixth inning, leaving one base runner stranded. North Cen-tral then answered with five more runs to finish off the Muskies 20-12.

LaLurzerne led the Muskies with three RBIs on two hits. Eich-ner and Roberts drove in two RBIs each. Roberts started the game on the mound, and was relieved in the third inning by Myszka. Felton then relieved freshman infielder Brittany Myszka in the fourth in-ning.

The Muskies return to the diamond at home with a double-header against Cardinal Stritch on April 3 at 1 p.m. and 2:30.

The first pitch will be thrown by Lakeland President Stephen Gould. This game is also “Strike Out Parkinson’s Day”. The Musk-ies will be raising awareness for Parkinson’s disease by having fans wear gray and participate in a 50/50 raffle to raise money for the Michael J. Fox Parkinson’s foun-dation.

good job at helping the freshmen become comfortable at the college level.”

Roberts’ experiences play-ing softball at Lakeland led her to express nostalgic sentiments concerning Felton, as well as fel-low seniors KC Blahnik, Chelsea Coenen, and Corine Demske.

“We started with a large class and I feel like it’s going to be awk-ward not seeing the four seniors that are left with me every day after we graduate,” Roberts said. “It’s going to be tough not having school or softball with them.”

squeeze it with the same pressure each time so the drops coming out are consistent,” said the teacher.

“One might be a little drip and the next might squirt all over. I’ll admit it’s fun to squirt, though. Sometimes I have the urge to sneak up from behind and squirt all over someone; you know, get it all in their ears and nose and face. I’d probably get fired though.” After a good laugh the two of us left.

It was getting late, and my friend and I decided to head over to a bar before parting ways in order to have a quick beer. He or-dered a Bud Light and I got a Spot-ted Cow.

When the bartender was pouring my drink, he didn’t tilt the glass at the beginning, so he got a lot of head. The difficult part about this was that the beer was being served in mugs instead of clear glass pints. The other bar-tender working saw this and said, “Stick your finger in there and see how wet it gets.”

After finishing our beers, we were about to bid each other good night when my friend got a phone call from his girlfriend. We had stayed out a little later than we intended and she was impatiently waiting for him to get back home to watch “The Office” with her. He knew this right away, picked up the phone and said, “I’m coming! I’m coming!”

That’s what she saidMichael’s long hard day

What a day yesterday was. I went out to eat with a friend of

mine at Perkins and got my usual meal of the Tremendous Twelve and a glass of milk. After promptly devouring our food, I reached for my milk to wash that last breakfast potato down.

“Don’t cry over spilled milk” is what people have al-ways told me, and so I didn’t cry. But I did exclaim, “Damn it! Now I’ve got white stuff all over me!”

Meanwhile, my friend kept complaining about his food, saying it was too small, he expected more, there was no flavor, and just being all-around disappointed.

After our meal, the two of us went to a mutual friend’s house to help him move a couch. His old one is smaller than his new one, which made it easy to get out, but impossible to get in. Once we were able to move the old couch out, we went to the delivery truck to grab the new one.

My first reaction was, “Would you look at the size of that thing… We’ll never get it in!” We played with it for about a half hour before taking a break—sweaty and un-

satisfied.Eventually we realized that

it was too hard to simply insert it through the front, and so we took the back entrance. Which was fine, although it was very dirty back there.

After the three of us were done with the couch, we sat around on it and talked for a bit while, hav-

ing some brewskis. For some rea-son, we talked about the chemis-try teacher we had in high school and his weird antics. In fact, one time we were doing a lab and the ensuing instructions left most of the classroom frantically trying to stifle its laughter. The teacher was talking about pipettes.

Nate Lowe heeds call of wild with ax, flannel Career as a writing professor "just doesn't cut it" for aspiring lumberjack

To the shock and awe of stu-dents and faculty, Assistant Professor of Writing Nate

Lowe announced that he would be leaving his position as a teacher of writing to pursue a career as a professional lumberjack.

On Wednesday, Feb. 24, Lowe took the stage at a fundraiser for Lakeland student Jerry LaCrosse with this announcement: “I’m a lumberjack, and I’m okay.”

Several audience members laughed at this proclamation, but as Lowe continued to speak, it was evident that he was quite serious.

“I sleep all night and I work all day,” continued Lowe, dressed in a flannel shirt, a beard grown over the winter, and a hat with ear flaps.

Lowe plans on retiring from his teaching profession after May Term and will be competing in the annual Lumberjack World Cham-pionship held in Hayward, Wis-consin in July.

“I always knew Nate was rug-ged,” said junior Spanish major Becky Meyer. “But I really didn’t

know the extent of his love for the outdoors until now.”

His love of nature is no secret to many of Lowe’s friends. During class, Lowe often assigns readings about experiences in the outdoors. For May Term, he has offered two courses that explore nature and include walks through the Gre-ther Woods.

“One day I was examining the trees in those woods and I thought, man, wouldn’t it be great to shimmy up that tree and just start sawing?” said Lowe.

His calling did not begin dur-ing a trip in the Grether Woods, however. Signs that Lowe was slowly leaning towards a career in logging began when he was just 14 years old.

“I always wore suspenders and flannel shirts to class,” said Lowe. “In high school, that makes you a target for bullies.

“It didn’t help that I could get into R-rated films because of my thick, burly beard,” added Lowe.

After merciless teasing from his classmates, Lowe dressed down his inner desire. However,

he always knew that woodcutting would return to his life. Although he acted normal, he secretly stud-ied folk heroes like Big Joe Muffer-aw and Paul Bunyan, admiring these axe-wielders and their skill at cutting down trees.

Most of Lowe’s research about loggers like Mufferaw comes from folk songs, especially those by Stompin’ Tom Connors.

“Many people don’t know this, but Big Joe formed the Mis-sissippi Lake because of his hard work,” said Lowe. “He worked so hard that millions of gallons of sweat poured off of him, condens-ing into a large body of water. It’s all very scientific.”

“To tell the truth, I’m not that surprised,” said history Professor Rick Dodgson. “I always knew that Nate wasn’t sawed out for this teaching business anyway. Do you get it? Sawed out?”

“You could just tell from the timbre of his voice that teaching wasn’t his calling,” said Professor Alan Mock. “He always seemed to be hacking away at his lesson plans with no real joy. I’m glad

he’s getting back to his roots.”Many students did not re-

spond so positively to Lowe’s tran-sition from professor to logger.

“It’s a shame,” said junior writing major Brittney Sandberg. “I always thought Professor Lowe was a great teacher.”

Lowe has met many students and faculty members who feel the same way.

“I understand where they’re coming from, but at this point they’re kind of like splinters in my life,” he said. “I just need to tweeze them out and move on.”

Although a 2004 Bureau of Labor and Statistics survey states that logging is one of America’s most dangerous jobs, Lowe is not letting that stop him from reach-ing his goal of competing in the Lumberjack World Champion-ships come July.

“I just had to chop down all the trees in my life to see the for-est, you know what I mean?” said Lowe. “Now that I can see what it is I want, I’m willing to work hard to pursue my goals. No amount of splinters can stop me now.”

Lakeland bans Facebook; chaos ensues Students revolt in the night, many laptops injured

With one click of the mouse and many more after, Lakeland

has banned the massively pop-ular social networking media, Facebook. Shortly afterwards, fires broke out throughout cam-pus which witnesses state were caused by enraged students.

Students were seen throwing their computers into the fires yell-ing that they had no further use for them. Witnesses also stated that

they saw students crying in mass hysteria, yelling out names of their favorite applications.

“The campus was in an up-roar; there was chaos and destruc-tion everywhere,” said senor ac-counting major Tyler Theisfeldt.

It took several hours for se-curity to calm the situation down as well as put out the fires. Many of the computers thrown into the fire were so badly damaged they could not be rescued.

The block to the social me-dia occurred on Friday, at 7 p.m., prime Facebook time. Reasons

why Lakeland decided to block the social media giant related to the livelihood of Lakeland’s Inter-net.

Recently, the Lakeland In-ternet had been experiencing a tremendous amount of slow ness, to what experts call viral snail syndrome. This syndrome can be deadly, especially to an already weak Lakeland Internet, and no amount of antibiotics or steroids can relieve the infection.

The Internet first started to show symptoms of this syndrome late last spring when the amount

of students logging in to Face-book overwhelmed the system.

Students began complaining that their Facebook chat and ap-plications were non-responsive and Lakeland began investigat-ing. It took several months and a consultation with Dr. House to identify the illness Lakeland’s in-ternet had been experiencing.

During the months of in-vestigation, students were left to suffer with Facebook stalk-ing two hermits a day, instead of their usual 20 or more.
