Photo by Nate Kavanagh Join the Club CAMP Carroll Adventure and Mountaineering Program. also known as CAMP, is a club that has many exciting activities to offer to students of all ages and abilities. From climbing and ¿shing clinics, to camping and backpacking trips there is something for everyone. CAMP has already had a non-freshman backpacking trip into the Bob Marshall Wilderness. This weekend trip was available for all upper classmen as the freshmen are offered their own backpacking trip in late September. The Bob Marshall Wilderness is located in north-central Montana near Augusta. “My favorite part of the backpacking trip was the waterfalls we hiked to and swam in,” said Alyssa Carlson, a junior biology major from Marine on the St. Croix, Minn. Upcoming events include more camping and backpacking trips, a Ày-¿shing clinic, a rock-climbing clinic, and trail running Tuesdays. Adventure-seeking Kathleen Schut, a junior math major and environmental studies minor, is this year’s president. According to Schut, students should join CAMP because, “We live in the beautiful state of Montana, and everyone should have the opportunity to experience it." Students who have questions about CAMP can check out the club’s Facebook page where they post about future events, or email Kathleen at [email protected]. The club will have a link on the Carroll Student Life page to their own web page by the end of September. CAMP offers a rental deal for students needing gear or proper equipment to participate in these fun-¿lled activities. Students may rent equipment for one dollar per item, per day. Photo from CAMP webpage Students who are eager for fun and adventure in Montana’s great outdoors should look for this club's appealing activities. CAMP offers two weekly scheduled events: Mountain Bike Mondays and Trail Run Tuesday (weather permitting). -Annie McLaughlin Thursday, September 26, 2013 Campus 7 Nursing students spiritually welcomed

Catherine Strophlet Staff Writer

The Blessing of the Hands Give me strength and wisdom, When others need my touch; A soothing word to speak to them, Their hearts yearn for so much. Give me joy and laughter, To lift a weary soul; Pour in me compassion, To make the broken whole. Give me gentle healing hands, For those left in my care; A blessing to those who need me, This is a Nurse’s Prayer. A Nurse’s Prayer; Allison Chambers Coxsey

Breaking Bad: the most addicting show on T.V.

As a fan of thriller TV shows, Breaking Bad has me hanging on every word, crouched into my seat, and sur- rounded by a blanket. I can never ¿nd myself getting bored of the story line or the characters, so it was no surprise this show won an Emmy for Best Drama and Best Supporting Actress.

HOMECOMINGVeronica Rubio Staff Writer If there wasn’t already an abundance of purple, gold, or spirit at Carroll College, there most certainly was the week of September 9-1th. Why, do you ask, was there a buzz in the air? Why were family members and friends flocking to Helena? Why was Father Marc wearing a bro tank that read “You Only Live Once” on Wednesday? The answer is simple: Homecoming Week 201 had arrived. With Homecoming came all of the traditions that make it great, such as dress- up days, the Homecoming coronation, the football game, mattress races, tailgating, and so much more. Students showed their spirit throughout the week with this year’s dress-up days: Jersey Madness Monday, Pajama Tuesday, Let’s Get Weird Wednesday, Throwback Thursday, and Hawaiian Shirt Friday. On Thursday, students gathered in the Cube to watch which of their nominated classmates were crowned Homecoming Royalty.
