This is what happens when Anne Gottschalk goes to a speech and debate competition. Gottschalk is a Carroll senior from Longmont, Colo. She is majoring in fine arts communication. “Debate keeps me informed with what’s happening. It’s important for me to read the newspaper and watch the news.” This is her third season on the forensics team after she transferred from the University of Colorado. Gottschalk is excited for the next competition to come. “I love competing, it’s fun to get up there and let everyone hear what you have to say,” said Gottschalk. There are five girls on the team and 17 in all. Gottschalk loves speeches and is excited about her upcoming one. “My favorite right now is my ten minute speech that is like a mini play, said Gottschalk. I feel like I’m doing a performance, I get to get out there and act for ten min utes, it’s exciting.” Traveling from state to state and practice time keeps Gottchalk on the go. “I don’t have too much free time, I stay pretty busy.” But when she does have time to slip away and relax before her next competition she enjoys catching up with friends and going to movies. Gottschalk has more in store for the future. After graduating in May she plans to head to Chicago. She is going to get on with a theatre company and pursue her acting career. “I’m excited for the future and the move to Chicago; it will be something new for me to try.” The Talking Saints are on a roll. The team has won 17 consecutive regional championships and still has more to come. Watch for more news on Anne Gottschalk and her Talking Saints teammates.

At least that’s the case when you’re Carroll junior Jenna Emerson who spent her fall semester study ing abroad. “Chile was a completely ran dom decision for me,” said Emer son “When I typed in universidad, which is Spanish for university, that was the first place I clicked on and I was like, ‘Ok, Chile, why not?”’ Hailing from Cloverdale, Or egon, Emerson is majoring in bi ology and Spanish. She hopes to graduate Carroll to work in public health care in Peru and eventually attend medical school. Emerson decided late last spring to study abroad for a semester in Chile. “I was running around getting signatures on a bunch of official forms the last day of school,” said Emerson of her preparations for studying abroad. “The whole thing was kind of off the cuff.” Jenna knew she wanted to study in Chile to improve her Spanish. She lived with a Spanish-speak ing host family. To push herself to avoid depending on English alone, she enrolled as an indi vidual when most U.S. college students come to Chile in large groups with U.S. classmates. “I didn’t know a single other person in the entire hemisphere,” said Emerson, “I really wanted complete immersion.” Other than making arrange ments to live with a host family, Jenna chose not to investigate further what her life in Santiago, Chile would be like, opting for a surprise instead. “I didn’t know if I was going to get down there and it was going to be modem and normal or if I was going to be in a mud hut,” said Emerson. Emerson found herself living in a bustling urban area of nearly six million people. There were end less adventures by jumping on the public transit and exploring the city. She had easy access to the capitol building, Supreme Court, stock market, cathedral, dance clubs, art museums and history museums. “There were all these busy pedestrian walkways full of ven dors,” said Emerson. “I just loved See CHILEAN Page 16 C a r r o l l s e n i o r l o v e s c o m p e t i n g Thursday, March 29,2097 Volume 90, No 6
