C ampus Letter from the Editors Wednesday, October 8,2014 Through its many years The Prospector has been graced with talented writers, editors, photographers, and advisors. Last year the bar was set high—very high. Nate Kavanagh and Ashley Smith led The Pros pector to one of its most successful years in recent history and it is a daunting priv ilege to pick up where they left off. Our goal is to keep that momentum rolling—or in other words, to not drop the ball. The paper you hold in your hands (or the words you read on your screen — it is the digital age after all), took countless hours, multiple gallons of coffee, and at least three panic attacks to produce. It took a village and its printing press to produce this issue and we are enormously thankful to everyone who pitched in. And we exaggerate, a little. It wasn’t that bad. Jay only cried once during pro duction weekend (watching scenes from The Notebook on YouTube), and Sydne only twice threatened to set fire to Brent Northup’s office using the very pages of this paper. Nonsense aside, we want to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves and lay out our goals for the coming year. Sydne is a junior communications and public relations major from Seattle who runs a tight ship, manages a fine staff, and whips her co-editor into shape when need be. Jay is a senior English major from New Hampshire who loves the written word even more than the gentle caress of, well, a summer breeze. Together we pledge to bring you the news of Carroll College with fairness and integrity. The Prospector is a stu dent newspaper and thus will showcase the work and present the opinions of the student body. If there is a story, we'll dig into it. We aim to cover both sides of every issue and promote honest, transpar ent journalism. We won’t shy away from touchy stories and we will keep digging until we have unearthed the roots of the truth. Through this paper we will provide an opportunity for students to develop their writing skills and exercise their pas sion for print journalism. As proud of we are of this first issue, it would not have been possible without the hard work and support of many hands. We are grateful to have a talented, hardwork ing staff dedicated to reporting the news of Carroll College. In particular, we would like to thank Lacey Middlestead and Brent Northup who mentored us through the editing process. Also a huge thank you to our design team. Wayne Klinkel and Bre- anna Caldwell. They made sure we had all of the support, resources, and caffeine we needed to produce this first issue. We also want to thank all of you. the student body and the greater Carroll community. If you weren’t busy making news we would have very little to report. We’ve dedicated this issue to Mike Franklin—a man who lived a beautiful life and battled courageously with depression. As you read this paper, we ask that you please keep in mind the impact he left on this community. Happy reading, Jay Bouchard and Sydne Cook T he P rospector Editors: Jay Bouchard Sydne Cook Staff Writers: Joe Acosta Katie Bertolino Faculty Adviser: Brent Northup Jordy Blaine Jamie Broaddus Breanna Caldwell Editorial & Design: Wayne Klinkel Lacey Middlestead Zane Clark Vivian Cole Sarah Hayden Ceely Heck Photographers: Steven Edmonds Alaina Hull Virginia Keil Ellie Kitchell Tegan Lane Josh McCormick Eileen Heilman Megan Planck Lead Writer: Nate Kavanagh Charlotte Meert Tori Nickol Marija Nicksic Design: Breanna Caldwell Veronica Rubio Jessica Salmassian CodyTredik Jake Wood Annie Yeend Hunthausen Activity Center funded through donations Nate Kavanagh Lead Writer At the ceremonial groundbreaking for the Hunthausen Activity Center (H AC) on September 13. President Thomas Evans made reference to a $2.5 million gift from Sodexo. Evans also spoke of a text mes sage he received that morning from St. Pe ter's Hospital CEO Nate Olson regarding a $100.000 donation from the hospital. “It is my privilege and honor to be a partner with Carroll.” said Rick Waldt. district manager for Sodexo. “To be able to bring such significant support to Carroll and see it directly ben efit the students is truly rewarding.” said Waldt of the company’s gift. “As long as people here can remember. St. Peter’s and Carroll have had a unique partnership.” said Olson. CEO of St. Peter’s. Olson shared numerous statistics on how many Carroll alums are employed at St. Peter’s as doctors, nurses, or other staff members. “Is this donation a testament to the rela tionship between our two organizations? Most definitely,” said Olson. Sodexo and St. Peter’s are just two of the many donors to the HAC. “It is the case that the Hunthausen Ac tivity Center constmction will be funded from donations and not from tuition dol lars.” stated President Evans in an email lo The Prospector. Post construction, the facility will be maintained and staffed using sources of funding outside of donations stated Evans. The estimated cost of the new HAC is $11.25 million, according to Karin Olsea vice-president of philanthropy at Carroll. The constmction for the HAC will be “privately funded through the generosity of our alumni and friends.” stated Olsen. As of press time, 72 percent of the $11.25 million needed for constmction had been raised by the Office of Institu tional Advancement. While the ceremonial groundbreaking for the HAC took place on September 13, actual constmction will not take place until the money is raised in full or until financing is in place. “It could happen as early as this spring, but it depends on financing,” said Olsen on the start of constmction. The HAC is not the only fundraising project at Carroll. The development office “is presently involved in several fundrais ing efforts for capital projects on campus,” stated Olsen. “A campus chapel for our students and Carroll community is one of those priorities.” It is because the HAC project has reached 72 percent of its fundraising goal that the college was able to do a ceremoni al groundbreaking. When the chapel has also reached at least 70 - 75 percent of the fundraising goal, it too will open the campaign to the public.
