Page 6 PHOTO COURTESY OF LUKASZ TURSKI Lukasz Turski spends leisure time with his lady friends 6 feet 9 inches, Polish, and proud By LISA POTTER Prospector Intern Writer Most students entering college move into another city or maybe even another state, but for Lukasz Turski, he made his college move all the way from Lodz, Poland to the United States. Lodz is the second largest city in Poland, with an estimated popula tion of 750,000 people, and a mini mum wage of $ 1.50 an hour. Turski did not leave behind any siblings but rather his dog and parents, one of which had a heavy influence on his basketball career. Turski’s mother once played for the Poland women’s national club team, and came in runner-up two times in the European champion ship. He said that because of his mom, he “grew up around basket ball.” Not only did he grow up around basketball, but he grew into it also. Turski measures 6ft. 9in., with a size 17 foot. It was no surprise to his parents that he was going to have the height for basketball since his father is 6ft. 4in. and his mom measures in at 6ft. lin. One positive thing that Turski has discovered since living in America being the substantial size that he is, is that he has “better ac cess to shoes and clothing for (his) sizes.” He began his college career in America in August of 2004 when he moved to North Platte,. Ne braska to play basketball for a local junior college. The junior camp re cruited Turski at a basketball camp held in Poland. According to Turski, he made the decision to transfer from the junior college to Carroll College to play basketball because he wanted to attend a “four year college and Carroll had the most convincing coach.” It was no easy change for Turski to make yet another move to an unfamiliar place when moving to Montana in the fall of 2006, but he did say that the people in Helena are “much more nice, generous, and helpful.” One thing that Turski finds dif ficult is trying to understand the “slang words and phrases,” that first language English speakers use so often. Other than that one minor See POLISH, Page 16 Hardwick reaches out to students with his blog Column by MAGGIE MCCALL Prospector Intern Writer The other day I overheard two students, who had apparently never met Dr. Jim Hardwick, discuss ing whether he was a real person. Their conversation amounted to what sounded a lot to me like a conspiracy theory. The prospect of our own conspiracy theory right here on the Carroll campus intrigued me. I had never met this mysterious Hardwick. My mind began to race. If Hardwick was not a real person, then who wrote Hardwick's Blog and why were they writing it? Logically, I fig ured that Hardwick's blog was an attempt at some sort of institutional mind control by “the man.” I set out to investigate. I had never read Dr Hardwick's blog and I thought this would be a good place to start. I found the blog strategically placed for mind control on the student home page. The entry, entitled “Last Confer ence Game” was dated November 11. It was about Hardwick's neigh bors taking their kids to the Car- roll football game. This was not exactly the type of swaying propa ganda I was expecting. The mes sage must be hidden subliminally inside the lulling text. This was going to be a hard case to crack. I decided to confront the origi nal source of the confusion, fel low students. I did not know the people who I had overheard the previous day and I didn’t know See HARDWICK, Page 16 Student activities gives out great loot at football game By PAT MANNING Prospector Intern Writer A free semester worth of books at two $75 gift certificates to the Brewhouse were raffled at the game versus Rocky Mountain on November 11th In an effort to increase student attendance at the football game on Saturday, November 11th versus Rocky Mountain, the student ac tivities department gave out some impressive prizes at half time. As students entered the game they were all given a raffle ticket. Patrick Harris said that “250 stu dents showed up and were all given tickets. The raffle was drawn at half time, one for a free semester worth of books and five for $75 gift certificates to the Brewhouse.” After the five were drawn, all were sent to the field, and two students were successful at making field goals. Pat Sheehy and Kate Horak walked away with the $75 gift certificates. John Doyle, a sophomore, was pleased to win the free semes ter’s worth of books. Walking into the game, Doyle didn’t think his odds were good enough, so he was ready to pass back his ticket. His instinct told him to keep it, so he did. He walked into the game with three other friends; their numbers were similar to the ones being called. “I wasn’t really paying attention and started getting phone calls on my cell phone from friends asking if I had the numbers,” said Doyle. Low and behold - he was the winner! “I was unsure where to go, but was pointed to the field,” said Doyle. He found Student Activities Director Patrick Harris, showed him his ticket, and was thrilled to find out the good news. Doyle is pleased to be the win ner because he won’t have to worry about budgeting for next semester’s books. “I was plan ning on working most of Christ mas break to pay for them, now it’s looking like I will just have more spending money for next semester,” added Doyle. It was a good day for all. The Saint’s won 35-0 and three lucky people walked away a little hap pier than they were walking in. John Doyle is majoring in Po litical Science and International Relations, and may be holding onto his raffle tickets a little tighter from now on. Friday; December 8,2006 ‘ Welume 90,(iO'3
