Academic integrity Proposals for new activities survey finds center to be presented to board positive results for Carroll students

Emily Dean BBeefforee ASCC President The Academic Integrity Committee recently conducted an institution-wide student/faculty survey regarding academ- ic integrity on campus. The survey was administered by Rutgers University and the Center for Academic Integrity on 10 other campuses nationwide. Carroll¶s results were a positive reÀec- tion of the student body and its opinions on the importance of academic integrity. The survey found 30 percent of the stu- dent population and 70 percent of faculty completed the survey. The Committee received the results of the survey in January and found Carroll’s results to be within 10 percent of the averages of the other institutions surveyed.

Jessica Salmassian Staff Writer

The Saints will wrap up their indoor track and ¿eld season in Geneva, Ohio March 6-8 at the NAIA Indoor National Championships. The Saints will start outdoor competition at the end of March. Although track and ¿eld are individual sports, the ¿ghting Saints maintain a strong sense of teamwork during practices and events. “We are always pushing each other in practice and cheering each other on while we are competing,” said Se- nior Marisa Arneson. “Whenever one of our teammates is competing you can always hear everyone else on the team cheering them on.” After competing in the pole vault in high school and her four years here, the nursing major from Missoula has noticed how track differs from other sports, and how those differenc- es have affected her. “Track is different from other sports because you compete both as an individual and as a team,” Arneson said. “You per- form your event by yourself, but you are working as a team to score high. It really pushes me to compete harder knowing that I contribute to the team score.” The individualistic aspect of track and ¿eld can also be- come a challenge. “Track and ¿eld differs from other sports in its very individualistic approach.” Junior Hugh Pratt added, “You compete as yourself but also compete for your team and your individual performance helps the team.” Pratt, a sociology major from Boise, Idaho competes in both the shot put and discus events. Both Pratt and teammate Arneson notice how the Saints manage to preserve positive feelings of teamwork and support during practices and competitions. “The team maintains a team aspect amidst all the individual events because we all have a great deal of respect for each other and all our workouts are with the other team- mates,” Pratt stated. Like in all sports, there are lessons that can be taken from practice and used in every- day life. “Since track is an individual sport, it takes self-motivation to really excel,” Pratt said. “In any event, if you want to be good, you have to work hard because you cannot just blend in with the rest of the team. I think our team has a good idea about that and it shows with new personal records every week.” Like all Saints teams, the track and ¿eld competitors are goal oriented. While having fun, the Saints manage to keep their goals of success in mind during events. “Every year, our goal is to win or get top three at nationals and it is dependent on ev- erybody competing to the best of their ability,” Pratt said. In her last season at Carroll, Arneson hopes to leave her team with ideas of strength (Top) Freshman Terah Cundith clears the bar in the pole vault, (middle) senior and motivation.

Charlotte Meert Staff Writer

Performed by our very own Carroll col- lege theatre department, Lysistrata de¿ed expectations. Those hoping for plenty of lewd jokes got them, and those searching for a good, humorous story about ancient Greece were also well served. The acting was superb, the casting well done, and all in all the whole play was well carried out. It takes a great deal of talent to do justice to a play that was already old in Jesus’ time, and the Carroll theatre department certainly has it. “It was really interesting to watch. It was funny, but also a really good com- mentary on gender roles. Beautiful, really. I also loved to watch Myrrhine torture her husband. Now that was fun," said Syman- tha Bodden, a freshman from Billings, and avid lover of theatre.
