Hunthausen Award

Do You Know A Student Who Should Be Recognized
For Community Service Contributions?

Rosalie Walsh, Chairperson, Hunthausen Award Committee

We're seeking to acknowledge students who exhibit a commitment to community.  Many Carroll College students donate volunteer time for a multitude of projects, social service and social justice causes, and we want to hear about them!

Since 1986 Carroll College has presented the Raymond G. Hunthausen Award for Community Service to deserving students who make outstanding contributions to the college or a community (Helena or other).

The award was named for Archbishop Hunthausen because of his own commitment to peace and justice in his personal life and in his work with the Catholic Church. 

Each year, when the selection committee sits down to select the recipients for award, we look for those students who go about quietly serving others with no thought of remuneration, no thought of being singled out for recognition.  We seek those individuals who exhibit a sense of commitment to others, for the goal of assisting and giving to others from their own personal sense of unselfish service.

All Carroll students are eligible. The guidelines are:  nominations can be by self, peer, faculty/staff, or by someone from the community in which the effort is/was performed; all students with a minimum of 2.0 are eligible.  Paid positions are less likely to be considered than volunteer effort.

Nominations forms are available in Career & Testing Services, or electronically from Rosie Walsh at

We want to make sure that every deserving student has a chance to be selected for this award.   Please be thinking about those of your peers that you may wish to nominate, and "talk it up" among your friends.  I am requesting your assistance in identifying students who merit recognition for their activities that fit the criteria established for this award.

Deadline date for receiving completed nomination forms is the Friday prior to Spring Break, this year, Friday, March  6, 2009.  Certificates will be presented to each recipient at the annual Honors Convocation in April

Get your Yearbook

The Year Book is back!  

Faculty, Staff, and Students - Sign up for your Yearbook now!

 If you did not already know, the Hilltopper was Carroll's Yearbook in years past and now it is back just in time for our Centennial.
On Wednesday August 27th, at the annual Club Fair held in the Upper Cube from 6-8 pm you can make a $10 deposit to reserve your Yearbook and by ordering early we will personalize it for you! 

It will be a huge benefit to you and us if you sign up early for your Yearbook.  If we can get at least 300 people to sign up early this will enable us to add pages and quality to the book.  It also could lower the cost of your Yearbook.  We estimate the cost at around $60.00 but it could be as low as $50.00.  Your early order will help increase the quality of our book and possibly drop the price. That is what we call a "Win, Win" situation.

So do yourself and us a favor and sign up for your Yearbook on Wednesday night.  

It'll be an exciting night for the Yearbook and its staff, so I hope to see you there!!!

Thanks,  Robyn Swaney - CC Year Book Editor

As You Like It - Audition prompts

Name               # scn    Role     Description/Relationships        My early thoughts about qualities      

Men

Duke Sr.          3          Sup      exiled and philosophical                      mature and have leadership

Duke Fred       4          Ant       usurper of Duchy                     nervous and brittle

Oliver DB        5          Ant       Eldest brother to Orl                Greedy and cruel, but transformed

Jacques           DB       1          Sup      Middle brother to Orl              He is a messenger

Orlando DB     9          Pro      Youngest brother                     wronged, heroic, in love, brave

Amiens             4          Sup      exiled lord in Arden                 wise and kind

Jacques                       7          Neu      exiled lord in Arden                 melancholy and poetic

Charles                        2          Ant       Wrestler for Duke Fred                        big, old style wrestler, not ECW

Touchstone      7          Com     The fool in this play                 One of Shakespeares' best fools ever

Silvius              5          Com     shepherd in love with Phoebe  kind of a country bumpkin

William                        1          Com     shepherd, dull of wit                foil for Touch, double as Charles

 
Women

Rosalind          11        Pro      Daughter to Sr., Smitten by Orl           adventurous and witty/Tall

Celia                9          Pro      Daughter to Fred, Smitten by Oliv/sweet, loving, witty with an edge

Phoebe                        3          Com     Shepherdess, smitten by Ros    Scornful & sarcastic, then pitiful

Audrey             4          Com     shepherdess courted by Touch            beautiful and wise, common-sense

Either Gender

Adam/Eve        4          Pro      loyal servant to DB Family      rescues Orl from plot of Oliv

Corin/Corinne 3          Sup      Old wise Shepherd/ess             folksy foil for Touchstone

Lord/Lady Court5        Sup      Support for Fred                      observers and commentators

Lord/Lady Court5        Sup      Support for Fred                      observers and commentators

Lord/Lady Arden4       Sup      Support for Senior                   observers and commentators

Lord/Lady Arden4       Sup      Support for Senior                   observers and commentators

Both or neither

Le Beau                       1          Sup      court fop                                  gay and good-hearted

Mar-Text          1          Com     a country vicar                                    foil for Touch, triple as LeBeau/Hy

Hymen             1          Sup      God of Marriage!                    triple as Le Beau, Mar-Text

Other thoughts:

This play is a gender bender and city vs country romp. Bring a sense of fun to the auditions.

Relationships are as important as the poetry.

Adam/Corin or Eve/Corinne could double depending on who and how many show at auditions.

Lord/Ladies can't really double, because of changes (but could be hilarious if we could pull it off), I will be looking for improv skills in these four.
