Page 12 H e a r t b r e a k H o t e l Tough Love in Guad Hall You stumble into Guad at 2 a.m. from a long night of... bible study, and the halls are dark except for a tiny light and a dark figure in the distance. No, it’s not one of the ghosts of Carroll, it’s one of the poor souls on their phone, who have subjected themselves to having a significant other from home while they enter their first year of college. You move past the figure and hear things like, “You just don’t understand,” “I miss you so much,” or, my personal favorite, “They are just a friend, I swear!” Relationships are already hard enough. Now you factor in a new -place, new people and a new sense of freedom and you have a recipe for a shattered relationship. Here’s a tip for all you newbies in Guad: break up with your girlfriend/boy- ffiend! I’m not trying to be insensi tive. I’m sure you love each other and have many great memories such as prom and holding hands in the halls of your high school. If you want to subject yourself to unnecessary stress and heartache, then I suggest you stay with them. But if you want to enjoy the col lege experience, put that person on ice and call them in a year. Trust me, it will work at that point. You’ll be past all the new stuff and possibly ready to give the “love of your life” a call (assuming they want you back). Being a freshman is an experi ence like no other. Part of its great ness extends from separating from your parents, but that also means separating yourself from your high school sweetheart as well. Now I’m not saying that you need to go and “hook up” with anything that walks by, but anyone who has been in this situation will tell you that there is always something holding you back and prevents you from enjoying everything fully. Since Guad is a mixed dorm, you are obviously going to run into members of the opposite sex and even hang out with them, if you play your cards right. An innocent situation such as watching a movie with someone will probably end up in a three hour fight about whether or not things were going on during your film session with the hottie from room 176 (or whatever that person’s room is). Between the stress of classes and your signifi cant other back home, you are on a one-way trip to heartbreak hotel. This advice is not limited to the long distance relationships but also the ones who jump into relation ships when they arrive at Guad. By doing this you lock up with a single person and limit your social activity. You’ll get caught up in the new relation ship trap where you don’t meet anyone else because all you want Student opinion DREW GARRISON to do is spend time with this great new person. If you think this person is great wait till you meet the other 1,300 people that Carroll has to offer! So cut ties now! I recommend classics such as “It’s not you, it’s me,” “I really need to focus on school,” or the one to keep them interested, “I’ll call you when I’m home on break.” Now that you’re free from the shackles, pop in Boondock Saints and invite the hottie from 176 over. PHOTO BY PHIL TANIS President of Glen Canyon Institute scheduled to speak at Carroll By Kara Addison Staff Writer With numerous ecological is sues facing the world, Dr. Rich Ingebretsen, a Professor at the University of Utah in medicine and physics, as well as a practic ing ER doctor, will examine just how global warming is affecting us everyday. On Monday, Nov. 5, Ingebret sen, president of the Glen Canyon Institute will give a presentation at Carroll in the Lower Cube at 7:00 p.m. about his research. He works hard to clean up the Colorado River and examines the effects of global warming on hydrology. The Glen Canyon Institute is an environmental institution look ing to restore the Colorado River. Through numerous rafting trips and research on the side, Inge bretsen has formed the long-term operating criteria of water between the upper and lower Colorado River Basin. “Working with scientists, re searchers, and politicians to restore damaged rivers has been invalu able to understanding the effects of global warming on our water supply,” said Ingebretsen. While at Carroll, Ingebretsen plans to speak on global warm ing and the West. He will exam ine the effects of global warming on rivers, specifically presenting research regarding the Glen and Grand canyons. “Although the aspects of hy drology and ecology may not be interesting to everyone, the lack of addressing the current state of cli mate and hydrology is troubling,” said Ingebretsen. Ingebretsen emphasized that global warming is contributing to destroying our rivers and aquatic species and soon the water supply will dwindle if people don’t help to make a change. Many Carroll students look forward to this opportunity to at tend Dr. Ingebretsen presentation. “Here at Carroll, we have a wide base of students concerned with the future and global warm ing,” said junior Jacquie Schmidt. “I think that this is a great opportu nity for the Carroll community to come and learn about these prob lems and how to solve them.” Friday, November 2,2007 volum e 01, No 2
