What a captivating band with impeccable synchronicity and a lead man able to entrance a crowd in celestial ways. While analyzing my admiration for the lead man, Alexander Ebert, I pondered what allows a fellow human, equal in worth to anyone else, to transcend personal boundaries to reach a state of unmovable confidence. Obviously our great performers are where they are because of a beautiful mix of talent, hard work, and uniqueness, but before their skills and charisma were harnessed, they made a choice to be confident in themselves without regard for Post game celebration by the Fighting Saints football team after the win against Rocky Mountain College, 42-36.

Each one has a story, and an unparalleled beauty. It opens up to a massive square, with the arms of the Church reaching out to envelop its people, the saints lining the top, welcoming, guarding, and praying. Caravaggio’s masterpiece lights up as a young man tosses a euro into a coin slot, the smell of age-old stone and incense fills the church, one of hundreds within the city walls, but holding its own unique beauty and presence. Ornate mosaic lines the ceiling, side chapels holding the re- mains of those who made the walk of faith before beckoning the contemplating heart in to share their name, their story, and their love for the Lord. A busy piazza is vibrant and alive with the sounds and movement of a thousand people from all ages, races, and places as they bend around the incredible foun- tain at its center, holding up an ancient obelisk which stretches toward the sky. Dozens of sights and smells collide as performers dance, gelato shops scoop, a group of Dutch jerks sing, men levitate on platforms hidden beneath their robes, and everywhere you look, some guys is asking if you’d like to buy a selfie stick for three euro.

Breanna Caldwell and Bridget Bloesch

Designer and Staff Writer arroll’s Anthrozoology program is the only known undergraduate program of its kind in the nation. This national attention is drawing more and more students to the program. There are 26 dogs in the introduction to canine training class this year compared to only six last year, making this the biggest year for the program. With the growth that the department is seeing, housing and training space for Cstudents and dogs can be challenging. This year was a tight fit for housing as well as training space.After discussing the space dilemma amongst various departments, including Community Living, the decision was made that housing options would 4 include the three Anthrozoology houses, three Trinity Hall suites and 3 six of the campus apartments. According to Dr. Marie Suthers, an Anthrozoology professor, the department is “very thankful for that much space but we may need even more in the future.” As the program continues to expand the need for space is going to grow. The canine training labs are led by Dr. Erica Feuerbacher, an Anthro- zoology professor, where there are anywhere between six and 11 dogs per lab. The training labs now take place in the dance studio, where there has been an adjustment in training methods. Last year, the training labs took place in the department's building where they had access to many doors and tools to train with. “The dance studio is nice, but last year the training was more individ- ualized because there were fewer dogs, so it has been an adjustment we have had to make this year,” Feuerbacher said. The future of the program has many potential routes it could take. There is discussion in the department of encouraging students to double up on training dogs. This would mean that two students would train one dog for the program. In the freshman class, there are currently 34 majors and two canine minors, which would mean there would be a total of 36 dogs to be trained in two years, 10 more than this year. This brings up more space concerns in terms of housing and training accom- 6 modations. 5

As part of the “Mind, Body, Spirit” campaign on campus, the 15 Anthrozoology department is one of the main components of the “mind” campaign. The department is currently doing a site search for an ideal Anthrozoology Center. Talk of an ideal facility for the department includes “a dedicated training space for canine classes, a permanent agility course for student use, room to accommodate 15-20 horses with two riding arenas, and 30-40 dogs with a functioning kennel and day care. The facility would 16 also have a modern classroom for up to 40 students,” Feuerbacher says. The center would allow for more extensive training in service dogs, scent detection, hearing dogs, therapy dogs, and search & rescue. Although some of the dogs who come to Carroll from the Lewis and Clark Humane Society, Humane Society of Beaverhead County, Mis- soula Humane Society, and Pendleton Animal Welfare have traumatic pasts, the student trainers in the Anthrozoology program work the dogs to maximize the potential that they have. These dogs are changed for the better through the program and are adopted out to the community at the end of each school year. “The department is very appreciative of the support and compassion of the dogs who come to campus with baggage. The students here are very stoic to the dogs who have potential to do great things. We, as a department, hope that students, faculty, and staff can continue to enjoy seeing the dogs around campus for years to come,” said Feuerbacher. Many of the dogs in the program this year have their own Facebook pages that are updated by their trainers, be sure to look for these links and follow the progress of each dog throughout the year. At the end of the 2015-2016 school year, the dogs will be up for adoption on the Adoptable Dog Page on the Carroll academics webpage. Keep your eyes out for these canine students on campus and for adoption informa- tion in the spring semester. 13 14

It’s so beautiful for the Carroll family to come together and cele- brate the mass with Bishop Thomas,” said senior and peer minister Baili Lubke.

Spirit week events Yolanda Martinez Staff Writer

Carroll's homecoming week provided students with daily activities. Among these was bingo night, Segway rides, and capture the flag. All of these events were geared to pump up students for the game on Saturday. "I'm looking forward to showing off my new school spirit!" said freshman Lauren Castillo, from Amarillo, Texas. Bingo night had a great outcome. A great amount of students gathered together to play bingo, four corners, and black out. There was a table of prizes lined up with everything from common household items, to food to satisfy the munchies. Bingo had an overall great outcome and A packed Nelson Stadium during the win against Rocky Mountain College.

Students were required to sign a waiver and wear a helmet. Students were having fun riding around the Cube at different speeds. Overall the students looked happy as well as a little afraid. “I thought it was going to be easy, but I kept losing my balance,” said Hanna Decker, a freshman from Boise, Idaho. It’s not homecoming week without a little karaoke. The participants were fear- less and had a blast while singing. It was so popular; the event even went over by 30 minutes. The variety of music ranged from classics by Journey and Maroon 5 to more modern pop such as Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus. The environment was welcoming to anyone who wanted to give it a go, and it encouraged some of our for- 1 eign exchange students to go up and show their awesome talents. 3 The pep rally was a great way to get ready for the big game.
