O b s e r v a t o r y o p e n s Class teaches ambassadors needed skills By LAUREN McDONALD Prospector S ta jfW r iter New student ambassadors at Carroll College are required to take a new class. C0489 will be offered in the spring semester only and is training for becoming an ambassador. Topics covered in this class will include communication and pre sentation skills; history' and facts about Carroll College; student services and resources on cam pus; and a general overview of the administration process. There will be some written homework assign ments as well as out of class work (shadowing tours, helping with admission special events, etc). Grading for this course will be pass/fail. The class will be taught by Jessica Savage, an admissions counselor and the ambassador coordinator. “The new class should be excit ing,” said Alyssa Welch, a sopho more student ambassador from Buhl, Idaho. “I wish 1 could have taken it while I was in training.” The new ambassadors are Basia Kasprzyk, a junior from Enum- claw, Wash.; Kara Janes, a sopho more from Deer Lodge; Courtney Hecht, a sophomore from Lewis- town; Kellie Blankenstein, a fresh man from Issaquah, Wash.; Molly Connolly, a freshman from Port land, Ore.; Caitlin Lemandez, a freshman from Idaho Palls, Idaho; Kristina Hilbom, a freshman from Idaho Palls, Idaho; Lindsay How ard, a freshman from Missoula; Joe Palmer, a freshman from Havre; Chris Rojo, a freshman from Sheridan, Wyo.; and Lome Stitt, a freshman from Helmville. These new ambassadors were chosen from a group of 20 ap plicants. The applicants were interviewed by a group of current ambassadors and the ambassador coordinator. The new ambas sadors were chosen depending on communication skills, how they held themselves during the interview, how they answered situational questions, and how they answered questions on their application. “We made sure to select a diverse group based on their personalities, involvement on campus, majors, and hometowns,” said Savage. These 11 new ambassadors have their work cut out for them, but they will be a great addition to the student ambassador team.

Last year the NAS purchased a new computerized telescope replacing the one made in the BY KAYLEE DART Prospector S ta jfW r iter After holding schoolwide audi tions Thursday, Dec. 11, the cast for Bertolt Brecht's \Caucasian Chalk Circle,\ was selected. Students came out in hope for a chance at their Carroll Theatre debut or, for students like senior David Gerke, another chance to show acting talents. Alongside director Chuck Driscoll is Carroll senior Anna Milburn, a theater major and co director. Driscoll proudly stated that “Anna has a strong back ground in music, and this show was written with a lyrical quality to the dialogue, not to mention the main character is a singer, along with musicians who pop in and 1970s. NAS also has a brand new hydrogen scope for safely viewing the sun. Both scopes were bought with money raised over the past through years. The hydrogen scope works by blocking all the light except that comes from hydrogen in the sun. This makes it safe to view and easier to see sun spots. Dr. Edward W. Neuman, vice president of Carroll College from out of the story.” This play was “written in exile during the second world war, the story subverts an ancient Chinese tale - echoed in the judgment of Solomon - in which two women claim the same child. This story is set against the parallel backdrop of competing communities vying for the same land. The message of Brecht's parable is vital in today's world where people still wrestle over the distribution of steadily decreasing resource.” reports the Carroll College Pine Arts web page. Sophomore Greg Patton said “when I saw my name on that list I didn’t care who I was cast as I just want to be on stage.” Patton is to play character Azdak the judge. He presides over 1933 until 1955, built the obser vatory in 1937. The observatory was named after him in 1955 after his death.

Things that have been seen in the past at viewings include Saturn, Jupiter, their moons, and many different nebulas. the trial that involves the chalk circle and it is he who decides the fate of the child.
