Show moreFriday. October 15.2010 Minneapolis, Minnesota Page VARIETY Secretariat: An average horse [can SIBLEY (intriwa And they're off. Sham takes an early lead. But wait! What is this? Secretariat is coming up from behind, he's in third. folks I think this horse can go all they way. he’s coming up to second now. they are neck in neck....YAWN. The problem with making an inspirational true film is that you know how it‘s going to end. Secretariat is no exception. By the time the climax comes around you are tired of horse races and the predictable story. Secretariat is the newest film from Disney and it does ex— actly what you would expect a film about a race horse from Disney to do. The film stars Diane Lane as Penny Chenery. the owner of Sec- retariat. When her mother passes away she decides to help her sick father restore his horse ranch. She hires Lucien Laurin (John Mal- kovich) as the new trainer on the ranch. After a colt is born. Lucien exclaims. “Have you ever seen that before?” referring to how quickly the colt stood up. At this moment you know exactly where the film is going to go. Penny spends a lot of time away from home (since she lives in Denver and the ranch is in Vir— ginia) and it causes lots of trouble within her family. Her husband Jack (Dylan Walsh) is less than supportive of her new pastime and problems arise in their marriage. It‘s a shame because this could have been a very interesting sub— plot had it been explored, and if her family were not such flat and "Noche Aaam HILL Contributor On Thursday Oct. 7, Chris— tensen Center was filled with the musical excellence of Alma Andina. The band performed in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month. The group focused on two countries in particular. Bolivia and Chile. Andean folk music stretches through Peru to Northwestern Argentina. Within each region the music and dance are totally different but equally as vivid. Andean music is believed to originate from the Inca people. static characters. The best performances go hands down to Lane and Malkov- ich; their characters are believable and the performances are never over the top, but don‘t expect Os- car nominations. Malkovich plays the same character he always does and Lane is a likable lead. The supporting cast does a nice job as well. The most memo— rable supporting cast member is Miss Hamm, played by Mar- go Martindale. She makes Miss Hamm a heartwarming character as well as a great comic relief. The director of the film is Randall Wallace, who previously directed We Were Soldiers and de Musica” The music is believed to be the product of a melting pot of cul- ture. The Spaniards brought the influence of stringed instruments. such as the harp and the lute. These influences mixed with native intelligence created an instrument called the C harango. a tiny. ten-stringed instrument. This instrument used to be made with armadillo shells in Bolivia. The members of the band currently live in Minnesota. but they all come from Chil- ean descent, The mother of the founder. Nia Biagetti. has sung in Latin American folk music for 30 years. The instruments played b) the band consisted of guitars. drums. the charango. and a \a- riety of percussion instruments.

Some songs were specified for people to dance to. One song called “Illegal Wings" was one wrote Bravehearr. Although he doesn’t bring anything new to the table for the dramatic heavy scenes. he does a spectacular job with the horse races. The most exciting race. and the third from last. is deftly filmed and edited. We get beautiful jockey point of view shots and he really puts the audience in the race. The problem with Wallace is that he doesn‘t want to cut anything out of his film. I believe there are five on screen races in Secretariat and it’s just too many. The film feels like it should be over a good twenty minutes before it actually ends. The suspense just isn’t there song that had a more sad and sentimental message. The perform- ers stated that it was written for the immi- grants in the US. The song was slower than the rest and the singers used the word pain. The harmony of the singers was mellifluous and heartfelt. The emo- tion was raw for every song performed. A very interest- ing aspect of the per— at the end of the film. Although Secretariat is predictable and formulaic. it is enjoyable until the last twenty minutes. The suspense was building and building and after Secretariat won the race. 1 expected the credits to roll but in— stead he had to run two more races. At this point. all the suspense was gone but Wallace tried to keep it going. It didn‘t work. If you are looking for a feel good inspirational but predictable movie to see. then Secretariat is your horse. otherwise skip it. Secretariat ponies up two and half stars out offive.

Jen Avery will provide Augsburg students with an intimate illus- tration ofthe United States military. In a four-purl series, a first-hand account of an element of Jen Is basic training with the National Guard will be provided to readers. This week, Jen finds herself stuck in a few painfully uncomfortable situations. My feet were killing me. I typically am just fine with walk- ing great distances, but my poor choice in footwear is what did me in. I wore my Harley-Davidson riding boots, which are very heavy duty and stable. however they are very ditficult to break in. They were still fairly new, not to men- tion I hadn‘t wom them much since I bought them. Long story short. the stiffness over- rode the sturdiness and the back ofmy heels were rubbed raw. 1 was hurting all day. as well as the evening before. As soon as I woke up that morning and put my boots back on, the pain immediately twinged back into my heels. When Special- ist C assinos, my escort for the week, picked me up from my quarters I limped like Igor to the van. Along with Cassinos, I was ac- companied by Lieutenant Sullivan, whom I met before on Monday, Captain Griffin. and Chief Bunn. The roads all around the range we were traveling on were gravel; the van managed reasonably to maneuver its way across them, it was just a rather bumpy ride. We were trying to find a shooting demonstration that l was scheduled to watch in the early afiernoon. We got a bit lost for a while, and when we turned onto another road we began to have issues; it was completely made of sand. It was the kind of sand that is extremely fine and soft in texture. like the soothing white sand you’d find at a secluded, little beach. The wheels were able to continue only for about a hundred feet before we became completely stuck. The tires would spin but the van would go no-where. The four soldiers got out of the vehicle and tried pushing. I really wanted to help, but they insisted I just stay in the vehicle. Bunn tried driving while Cassinos and Sul- livan were pushing from the back. He was able to push us backwards about thirty feet, but it was still too embedded in the ruts cre— ated by the tires that we inevitably needed help. A camouflaged humvee came by and zoomed across the sand. It was incredible the difference between that vehicle and our poor twelve passenger van; the humvee darted over the heavily rutted tracks of sand like it was old hat. That vehicle went to go find some chain to attach to the fi'ont of our van. Soon after, another one arrived and was the unit that would be pulling us out. I watched as three men were attaching the chain the other humvee brought back, and once we all were back inside the van, we were in for another rough ride over the sandy road. We thanked the kind soldiers im- mensely for helping us get out of there, and continued on our journey to try and find the shooting range. As it turned out, we presumably missed the shooting company. Specialist Cassinos and Captain Griffin felt bad that we missed them, but I reassured them that it wasn’t a big deal about the incident getting stuck in the sand. Life is full of surprises no mat- ter where you are; that was just a sporadic adventure that we were dealt for that day. Weekly meditation now on campus / Baum Nov Campus Kitchen Coordimttur As the semester picks up and we head towards the excitement and trauma of midtenns and ul- timately finals. it is hard to avoid the feeling ofbeing overwhelmed and stressed. Not only is it just unpleasant. it‘s unhealthy and inef- fective. To help avoid this. and to de— velop more joyful lives in general. meditation has been scientifically proven to provide this. Now there’s a group making this available on campus through Buddhist medita- tions. Students who are pan of the Diamond Way Buddhist Center of Minneapolis are hosting intro- ductory weekly meditations on campus, every Monday from l0:20-10:50 am. in Si-Melby 206. To kick off the weekly medita- tions, they will be featuring Eric Gibson. a Traveling Teacher with the Buddhist Center to give an introductory talk on campus this Sunday. Oct. 17 at 8 pm. in the Marshall Room. Evi Noy began meditating with Diamond Way groups in Hun- gary over a dozen years ago. She now studies education at Augsburg and is excited to make meditation pan of her weekly schedule on campus. “Learning to work with my mind through Buddhism ~has helped me get through things like depression and losing family. and life is much easier and more fun when I meditate." Noy said. “I've also seen it help many friends who couldn’t find answers in other reli- gions.” While Buddhism ofien falls into the category of a ‘religion.’ it difi‘ers from other religions as it is entirely based on experience rather than faith, and it contains no ' dogma or gods. The historical Buddha was a man who studied reality and his mind through philosophical exploration and meditation. His teachings on how to understand one‘s mind and how we perceive reality. with the ultimate goal of developing constant joy, fearless- ness, and compassion, is what is now called Buddhism. This includes the teachings, called the dharma, and the scien- tific methods of exploring ones’ mind and reality, which is the practice of meditation. Normally, we try to make ourselves happy by having nice things and pleasant experiences. In meditation we work to understand the mind - not the brain, but the awareness behind our experiences. When we know this awareness, we can maintain our joyfulness even when conditions are uncomfort- able and diflicult (like when we haveatestandpaperdueandour roommate won’t stop hitting the snooze button). In addition to what’s happen- ing on campus. the Diamond Way Buddhist Center hosts free public meditation three times a week at their center in Uptown at 170] W Lake St. Beginners can come for a short talk and guided meditation every Sunday at 5:45 pm. and Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 7:45 pm. They are also hosting longer lectures and meditations at various locations through the Twin Cities through October and November (the Augsburg lecture on October 17 kicks offthe tour) as well as hosting Lama Ole Nydahl at the Humphrey Institute on Tuesday, November 30 at 8 pm.

Or feel we've had enough time.“ It is with these words that Kath. a carer and soon—to-be donor. leaves us with at the end ofNever I.et Me (in. a fantastic new film directed by Mark Romanek. Never Let Me Go is based offofa book of the same title by Kazuo lshiguro. lts premise can be most readily related to that of The Island. an action packed 2005 sci— li movie starring Scarlett Johanson and Iiwan Mc(iregor. but .Vet'er l.el Me (in is a much quieter and more profound film. At first glance. Never Let Me (in is a simple story about three ‘donor‘ clones whose sole purpose in life- from birth to death- is to provide organs. tissue. and other necessary body parts to transplant to real humans who are ailing from deadly diseases such as cancer or kidney failure. It follows Kathy. Tommy and Ruth from their days at Hailsham. a boarding school that raises donors. through their teenage years and their ensuing ‘completion.‘ A quick definition ofterrns is helpful while watching the movie or reading the book. ‘Completion‘ is lshiguro's euphemism for the death of a donor. and a donor is a clone raised essentially as an intel- ligent organ fartn for the people it is intended to save. Carers are future donors who watch over current donors during their opera- tions. The lives of the clones are viewed by normal humans with fear. as if they are a more attractive Frankenstein of sorts. Amongst themselves. the clone’s lives seem very similar to that ofthe humans, with the same hormonal urges. loves. hates. and other emotions typical to the human experience. Part of the film's beauty and poignancy is in discovering the purpose of Hailsham and the effect that discovery has on the three protagonists. particularly Kath and Tommy. I don‘t want to spoil it for you. but l can say that the later scenes in the film in which Hailsham‘s mission is revealed hit me in an unexpect- edly visceral way. and led me to far more profound contemplations than I expected to leave the movie theater with on a typical Thursday night. The film raises unanswerable and heavy questions such as: What truly constitutes a human being? How can you measure the exis- tence of a soul? What distinguishes one being from another. or makes one creature’s existence more valuable and therefore prioritized over others? These questions are made more pressing by the brilliant per- formances by the actors portraying Kath. Ruth and Tommy. Carey Mulligan. whose quick- ly growing career includes such film gems as An Education. plays Kath. the narrator ofthe story and the last of the three to begin and complete her donations. Kath is a naturally giving being whose love for Tommy and childhood connec- Kath (Mulllgan), Ruth (Knightley) and Tommy (Garfield) are clones whose llves closely mirror those of the people they are created to save. tion with Ruth define her past and her experience as a carer. Mulligan is joined by Keira Knightley as Ruth. the strong willed and selfish member of this trio. Knightley and Mulligan's first movie together was 2005‘s Pride and Prejudice. and it is clear that both have grown enormously as actresses in the interim. Knightley is divine as Ruth. drawing out her complex emotional state and in— securities and. most importantly. making them relatable. with very little screen time. Newcomer Andrew Garfield stars as Tommy. and although his performance is not as brilliant as that of his female counterparts. he is still excellent. Tommy’s awk- ward teenage moments and later quiet assurance of himself and his love for Kath endear him to the viewer. and the end of his story line is one we view with regret. I don’t often see movies in the theater. and like most of you I am a budget conscious student. But I will say that this film is the best nine dollars I spent all oflast week. and maybe this month or more. Art as powerful as Never Let Me Go does not need financial justification. Just go see it. Laughing at the funny guy MATTHEW MCGAVIN Colunmist l have to admit. the well placed F—bomb is hilarious. The rants and raves of blue comedians like Lewis Black and (ieorge Carlin are legendary for making profanity sound smart. The way Black has turned pro- fanity into punctuation sends me rutuiing to the bathroom to avoid peeing my pants from laughing so hard (nobody reads these things... right'?). The problem is that many co- medians have seen the success of blue comedy and adopted it as their style. stripping it of its ability to shock and lca\ ing it mundane and largely uninteresting. lt's gotten to be an easy out. Can't think of a good punch line'.‘ Throw a few “‘taizks" and “s&!ts" at the audience and w atch them crack tip. Iiycn Jon Stewart. with a highly talented \\ riting statI‘w ork- mg on his material. falls back on the occasional censored explctiy e. \\'ith just a few e\ceptions. blue comedy has come to mean laziness and .1 lack ot‘crcatiy ity in writing. It‘s high time someone re- belled against the rebellion and brought the funny without using \ ulgarity tn cy cry punch line. Sure. there are clean comedi- ans out there. but they tend to be on the boring side with jokes that are just as lame as they are tame. We don‘t haye to put up with kid friendly jokes. Humor can be clean and cutting edge at the same time. Brian Regan. for instance. is one of the top-touring comedians of any form and he is successful despite the fact that he can do ninety minutes without a curse. His witty observational style humor is always a hit. and Sat- urday night‘s performance at the Orpheum Theater in Minneapolis w as no exception. Regan often tours with his brother. Dennis. who warms up the crowd with his own humor before Brian comes out. Dennis isn‘t as funny as his brother. but he still know 5 what he's doing. and I’ve come to anticipate seeing him perform almost as much as Brian. Brian had a solid show in front of a nearly sold out theater on Saturday. He did plenty of new material. and peppered the set with the occasional greatest hit. For his encore. Brian sub— jected himself to the unpredict- ability of audience requests. Brian performed two of his classic b'rts (pop—tarts and UPS) flawlessly performed despite the fact he hadn‘t prepared for them. This man knows his stufl“. Regan is no stranger to Min- nesota. This was his second stop this year — he played Rochester earlier this year. With any luck. he‘ll be back soon. I strongly encourage everyone with even a trickle of a sense of humor to drop what he or she is doing and buy tickets the next time he‘s in town. The price ofadmis- sion is well worth the cost. I defi- nitely felt like I got my money’s worth—even at fifty dollars each (an expensive date in my house). Until he comes back. it should be noted that Regan has two equally awesome Comedy Cen- tral DVD's (Standing Lp and The Epitome ot‘Hyperbole ). numerous CDs. and a wealth of material on YouTube. C arch him however you can. as soon as you can! I am also beginning the book the movie is based on afier this viewing. and four chapters in it promises to be at least as good as the film. I recommend picking it up if you need a good non-homework reading option before bed. Never Let Me Go is playing at the Lagoon Theater in Uptown. Showtimes and ticket prices can he found on the website. A8LE needs writers! If you’re interested in covering movies, mu- sic, food and more, email editor Betsy Collins at: collins@ augsburg.edu

MATCHETT Contributor On Wednesday, July 16, 1969, the space age was only twelve- years-old. And yet, there in the pre-dawn hours of the morning sat the fastest machine ever built. Steaming on the launch pad in the half-light, the Saturn V rocket, the cumulative effort of count— less thousands scattered across the United States, prepared for its long-awaiting and much antici- pated appointment with eternity. On that morning, mankind would try and make reality of a dream 7 a dream long written down by the likes ofJules Verne, ancient astronomers, superpowers, and a young boy from Ohio. Watching that original broad- cast narrated by Walter Cronkite. one cannot help but be moved by the immensity and scale of this, humanity’s ambition. Perhaps as many as a million people came to a sliver ofland called Cape Kennedy to watch as the torrents of progress opened a new era of science and discovery. Millions more around the world watched on television. The landing was even more spectacular. After Arrnstrong’s boot touched the lunar surface, we proved to ourselves that we could indeed sail upon this new ocean. No matter what happens through the course of human his- tory, this event will stand forever marked as the first time a human being ventured from the protective arms of mother earth to step foot upon another celestial body. And in my mind, it stands as the single greatest example of what can be done in the name of peace and science. Now, take that moment and hold it in your mind awhile longer, and fast forward with me to present day. In the Milwaukee airport on a layover this summer, I wandered into a used bookstore that hap- pened to stock and sell vintage Life magazines. Interested in this odd sort of merchandise, I inquired if they had any from the 1960s space race, particularly the moon land- ing; they didn’t. Looking at the immense shelf behind the clerk, I could see every- thing from an interview with Pat Nixon to Goldie Hawn, but noth- ing space related. So, being the inquisitive one, I asked why. The clerk replied, “Nobody gets rid of them. People hoard m. They were events people co ted with and wanted to remember, so they don’t sell. If you had one, it’d be worth a lot of money.” (I do.) Interesting, I thought. People felt connected to men strapped atop the largest, most complex machine ever devised as it rocked away to the moon and back? I mean it’s not exactly a relatable experience when one first thinks about it. But, thinking about it, I began to see the logic behind it. Typically, the experiences we as a people hold up from our workaday lives to remember are negative, usually extremely nega- tive — the Kennedy assassination, Apollo 13, Nixon’s resignation, the oil embargo of the 19703, John Lennon’s death, Oklahoma City bombing, the fust World Trade Center bombing, 9/1], and our many wars in-between come to mind. The flight of Apollo 11 brought people together around a singular positive moment in which we put down our passing distrac- tions to look up and out. Standing away from our soli- tary existence, Apollo 1] spoke to our common humanity and under- lying assumption of progress. A sort of manifest destiny in space fulfilled, the flight changed our collective consciousness — from the perspective of those magnifi- cent men in their flying machines, we could, for the first time, see ourselves aboard our own space- ship - the good earth. In spite of all the cost and risk of failure, most everyone — regardless of race, na- tionality, sex, or income — wished those men success. And that’s why people want to remember. Every- one who lived to see it remembers where he or she was. Like many students, I was but a glimmer in my parent’s eye, but I yearn for another moment like this. I yearn for the days of Yuri Gagarin, Alan Shepard, and John Glenn. Thus, I was deeply disappoint- ed in the Obarna administration’s decision to cancel America’s next chapter in space pioneering — the Constellation program. My great- uncle, who just happens to be Neil Armstrong, even recently testified before Congress as a way of speak- ing out against the decision. In the articles to come, I hope to impart a sense of just why I feel so strongly about the issue of hu- man spaceflight. It has shaped me, my family, and you and yours as well. And if the United States does not continue to invest in its future, the world and we will sufl'er. We are not alone. ASK PRESIDENT P. : “Coming Home” PAUL PRIBBENOW This week at Augsburg marks that uniquely American academic tradition — homecoming — when alumni return to their alma maters for reunions, recognition of distinguished service, reminiscing and re- engagement. Welcome back to all Augsburg alumni who are on campus this weekend for Home— coming 2010 a it is great to have you with us! And special thanks to the staff, students and alumni leaders who have worked with great imagination to organize this celebra- tion of our college and its abiding mission. I am mindful of the many ways in which coming home to Augsburg has meaning for alumni and those of us on campus. It is one of the remarkable characteristics of colleges like ours that we pay attention to how we are linked across generations. Members of the Augsburg community — alumni, fac— ulty, staff, friends and students — share in common this place and the experience that continues to shape their lives in the world. And when we “come home," we are marking just how powerful those connections and shared experiences are to our personal and common callings in the world. So what does it mean to come home to Augsburg? First, it is quite literally a homecoming to this place in the heart of C edar-Riverside and Minneapolis, this campus home we have inhabited since 1872 when our Norwegian- American ancestors first settled here. Homecoming seems especially mean- ingful this year as our campus community is engaged in a Commission on Campus Space and Master Planning — exploring together what it means that we are in this urban setting and what our aspirations are for the future of Augsburg’s campus. During this year, we will plan for new buildings, land- scape and the responsible use of space. And we also will consider what it means that we are here in Cedar-Riverside, this neighbor- hood we share with various neighbors. How best do we honor our role as neighbor here? How do we ensure that our place serves our mission as a college to educate students for lives of meaning in the world? The buildings may have changed (or not) and the campus may be more intentional about its boundaries and how it welcomes those who live and visit here, but in the end it still is about a physical place that defines our distinctive and significant purpose and mission. Welcome home! Second, homecoming also marks our return to a community, a gathering of «3 ’? D those who share ,, our commitments to education for service. ,, There are clear dis- ‘ tinctions in the nature of this community over time. We are much larger — we now count more than 4100 stu- dents and 650 faculty and staff. We offer a wider range of academic programs — from our traditional day program to adult under- graduate and expanding graduate opportuni- ties. We are increasingly diverse — in ethnic and religious background, in age and in socio-economic class, and in so many other ways. But at its core it is still Augsburg, a community grounded in its mission to offer a superior educational experience for all students that focuses on the intersections of faith, learning and service. And it still is Augsburg, one of the most hospitable and welcoming communities I know, a place that believes deeply that access to education demands of us a com- mitment to justice for all God’s creatures. Welcome home! Finally, you come home to a mission, a character, a set of values that abide over the years. Here, we still celebrate the Word made flesh. Here, we still share with our im- mediate neighbors an immigrant sensibility, the belief that education is at the core of a ?’? healthy neighborhood and democracy. ’? Here, we still work together to ensure that all deserving students can receive an Augsburg education. Here, we still help each other discern our vocations and gain the skills and knowledge to live them out in the world. In the work and lives of our alumni, we have remarkable stories of how this distinc- tive Augsburg mission has made a difference in the world over the years. For those of us who are the current stewards of Augsburg ’5 mission, I urge you to listen to the stories of our alumni for they are our “epistles to the world,” our parables of what an Augsburg education means. You will be amazed by what they have accomplished. For those of you have come home to Augsburg this weekend, please seek out and engage our current students because they are our most powerful statements of our mis- sion, our aspirations to make a difference in the world. They are remarkable signs of what we can look forward to as Augsburg seeks to live out its mission to educate stu- dents who are “informed citizens, thoughtfirl stewards, critical thinkers and responsible leaders.” Welcome home and enjoy this great celebration of Augsburg! A very merry un-birthday to me! MEGHAN NOVAK Contributor Late in the evening on Oct. 6, I decided to do a Facebook edit: I changed my actual birthday from July 29 to Oct. 7. Originally, my friend from high school, Zach Mellon. had a silly idea to change his actual birthday on Facebook to the next day. Another friend, Kevin Hayes. who happens to be Zach’s best friend. also participated in this experiment. “Zach did it first just for the hell of it. I think we were trying to trick people into believing it was the next day.“ said Kevin. Intrigued by this clever idea I had to take pan. At 2:15 am. on Oct. 7 I received my first birthday wish via text message. All in capital letters. a girl friend had written out the classic birthday song for me. My second birthday encounter was a verbal wish before 8 am. At the time I was working outside emptying trashcans for Augsburg grounds crew. Kirstin Tande shouted across the street to wish me happy birthday. All I could do was laugh and smile. At this point, I knew my experiment was going to be successful. Most of the acknowledgements I received on Facebook were a plain and simple happy birthday. Others were a little more creative and used exclamation marks. made smiley faces, and added cute hopes and wishes for my special day. One of the best comments I received was fiom Ian Barrett who wrote, “Crazy it’s my birthday too. happy birthday.” Overall. 62 people commented on my profile that day and 10 others sent me text messages. The majority ofthecommentswerefipmfriendsanda few from my cousins. Only four friends caught on that it wasn’t my actual birthday. Brittney Knight posted, “oh my gosh meghanll everyone thinks its your birthday 10] hahah funny... only if they really knew it was in july lol.” Another friend, Briana Smith wrote, “Since when were you born in October Missy??” The purpose of this experiment was not to embarrass others who didn’t actu- ally know my true birthday. My initial participation in this scheme derived from pure curiosity as of to the reactions I would receive. Then my inquisitiveness deepened. On Facebook‘s homepage on the right upper comer there is an Events column. As most are aware, it lists event invitations, evenshappeningonthatpresentday,and birthdays. When one logs onto to the Faeebook, he/she is brought to the home page before one’s profile - what I’m getting at is that the events column is obvious. I’m curious to know if people just say happy birthday on people’s profiles because Facebook so conveniently reminds one to do so. There are two things you might take away from this article. One, to realize that maybe it doesn’t mean that much to just post a happy birthday wish on a Facebook friend’s wall. It doesn’t really show you care,butitisnicetotaketensecondsor lessoutofyourdaytopostamessage. Two, try this! You’ll get a kick out of the rmctions on your Facebook. Also, you canfindoutwhoreallylmowsyom'birthday. My favorite messages were from individuals whopostedonmywalldratlhaven’ttalked to in ymrs. '

Show moremom 15,2010 Minneapolis, Minnesota Page3 SPORTS Auggie soccer finding recent success hard to follow up In the Augsburg men’s soc, cer team's first nine games, they showed flashes of the kind of soccer that got them to the NCAA Division 3 Sweet Sixteen in 2008. Granted, former All-Ameri- ca Alex Hildebrandt and three- time All-MIAC midfielder James See weren't walking on that field in 20l0 like they did in 2008 with fantastic individual seasons, but the Auggies were playing great team soccer, specifically in goal and on the defensive side of the ball. Augsburg had only given up three goals in their first nine contests. First year goaltenders Clayton Lynch and Will Morlock looked more like US. national team goalie Tim Howard in the Augsburg net, and were certainly erasing the speculation that with four~year starter Pascaul Venter’s departure, goalie would be an area of concern this season. The Auggies capped their great nine games by beating na- tionally ranked Macalester, the pride of the MIAC conference and widely considered a national title contender to that point, reaching as high as sixth in the NSCAA Division 3 national coaches poll. That double overtime win had the Auggies feeling on top of the world, and also got them a national ranking of number 23 in the same poll. But with success comes pres- sure and expectation. Since the Auggies big l-O, they have fal- tered. "When we got oh” the bus it was hard to find that spark,” said sophomore forward Jeff Butler about the ensuing four games. “We’ve played well in the second halfofthese games, but the first 45 has gotten us." With just a 1-2-1 record over the last four and eight goals sur- rendered, Greg Holker remarked that his club “has to do better than this“ when speaking to the Augs- burg Athletics site. D Photo by Mark Muccmon. Murcmon Photography. tor Augsburg Coma They certainly would’ve needed to do better to retain their current NSCAA ranking of num- ber 24 in the nation, but they are sure to drop from the rankings when the next poll comes out after the two losses this week to the Uni- versity of Dubuque and Concordia College. But the team will tell you that rankings, although indicative of performance, really aren’t on their minds. “To put it bluntly, no one cares,” said Butler referring to the rankings. “You don’t want to think about it because it’s just an- other distraction. To us they mean nothing, we have bigger things to worry about.” The last four games have by no means been easy for the Aug— gies with their two non-conference games (at Dubuque and UW-Su— perior) coming against regionally ranked teams and another (at Con- cordia) against the second-place team in the MIAC. Still, the Auggies would’ve preferred the fourth game in the rough stretch they’ve endured, a 2-2 draw against St. Olaf on Sept. 29, to have been a win, and have dug themselves a conference hole with the St. Olaf result and the 4-3 loss to Concordia Oct. 9. They currently sit tied for sixth in the ultra-competitive MIAC with seven points. “We have to focus on every game down the stretch,” said Butler. “We have to look at it one game as a time, and you can’t worry about Hamline because we have Carleton Saturday, and that’s a big game, our most serious threat down the stretch.” Should they be worried going forward? With only conference games left, four of them against teams that are currently below them in the standings, and three of them at home compared to their last three games having been on the road, head coach Greg Holker will tell you there‘s no panic around the program, but will echo Butler’s sentiments that the Aug- gies have to be at their best in these five games to finish the season. “We are looking forward to coming home,” said Holker to the Augsburg Athletics site following the Auggies third consecutive road game. “It’s been a challenging string of games. Playing in front of our crowd-specifically our alumni- might just be the boost we need.” The Auggies are in action Saturday at 1 pm. at Carleton. Coach profile: Jane Gibbs MIKE GALLAGHER Sports Editor Jane Gibbs is the head vol- leyball coach for Augsburg C ol— lege and is in her first year at the institution. Gibbs played college volley- ball at MIAC rival St. Thomas as a setter and was a two time AV'C A Division 3 All-American in 2002 and 2003. setting four school re- cords for assists and leading the Tommies to a 97-31 record in her time as a player. After her playing career. Gibbs went to North Carolina to serve as an assistant at Division one Gardner-Webb for two sea- sons. Gibbs then went to UW-River Falls as an assistant for the 2006 season before accepting the posi- tion of head coach at Luther Col- lege. When at Luther, Gibbs amassed a 60-42 record from 2007-2009 afier taking over the Norse, turning around a team that had won only six games from 2005-2006. Gibbs led Luther to the NCAA Division 3 national tournament in her final year at the college and accepted the head coach position at Augsburg following Jessica Rinehart’s resignation after the 2009 season. So far in 2010, she has led the Auggies to a 13—11 record with a 3-3 conference mark. With six matches to go in the Auggies regu- lar season, Gibbs was nice enough to sit down with us and discuss her success leading up to Augsburg, her team this year and her hopes for the future of the program. Mike: As our readers can see, you have a pedigree of winning. What has been the key to your winning, whether it be player or coach, up to this point? Jane: Great coaches, from my coach at Lakeville who is still there to this day, to my coaches at St. Thomas, even up to now with the great assistant coaches I have here. My assistants are Laura Hegerle. Leah Ashbum and Josh Huffand they have been fantastic.

Jane: Yeah, you really see the team gelling right now and it‘s really important coming down the stretch that they continue to do that. You have seniors really step— ping up as well as some freshmen that came in earning their spots. We‘ve had the same starting squad for two weeks in a row now. and I really think that‘s starting to pay off.

With how we played against St. Olaf in the five—set match Saturday, in a match a lot of people believed would be over in three, I feel good about how we’re playing right now, and we just have to keep playing that way down the stretch. The Auggies‘ are in action Friday at St. Thomas a! 7 pm. Homecoming bringing out the athletic side in everyone MIKE GALLAGHE- Sports Editor Homecoming is a time to celebrate. It‘s a time to have the Augsburg com- munity come together as one and rejoice about the great institution we have. It‘s a time to showcase the great skills wegivetoAugsburgandthegreattalents it helps us bone and develop. Most notably, homecoming across the nation. at division one and division three institutions alike is most known for the football game that cap 05 homecoming week. Athletics are is hat tend to define homecomrng as a success to the fan base of a particular program. Benthing else that goes into homecomrng. the fans tend to shove asrde. But with all the e\ cuts on campus. the dinners. the an shows. the concerts. the banquets. it truly shows than homecoming is a week-long event. nor a three hour contest at Edor Nelson Field to dccrde whether or not we have a good football team. While the game will not decrde that nuns within homecormng week will. Aside from the Augsburg football team taking on Concordia at 1 pm. Saturday, there are other notable athletic events coming up this week, somewiththosethatusedtobeathletes,and some that never were. Homecoming week started with the pep rally Monday night that included a fireworks display, which an outrageous amount of money was spent on, and a ten- on—ten dodgeball t0urnament held between freshman. sophomores, juniors. and seniors. Any one was allowed to participate who wm in attendance, either athlete or everyday student. and there were a wide variety of participants. “I love the dodgeball said Jon Pow ers Wulfi‘. junior student at Augsburg. “It’s the highlight of the pep rally e\ ery The n inning class was to face a super- star lrneup of ten coaches from Augsburg. from national wrestling coach of the year Mark MarzeL to strength and conditioning coach Adam Maronde. to assistant \olley- ball coach Laura Hegerle. When it was all said and done. the freshmanclassmovedontofacethearray offormcr athletic talent and current coach- ing greatness in the first athletic event of the week. “The dodgeball game was great,” said Ryan Kershaw, assistant basketball coach and dodgeball game participant. “SAAC (Student Athlete Advisory Committee) and our event stafi did a great job and this event has gotten better every year.” The Augsburg men’s soccer team took on Bethel at Edor Nelson Field on Wednes- day and Thursday night was set aside for the Augsburg Athletics Hall of Fame Banquet in which Augsburg enshrined more former athletes into the growing family that is the Augsburg Hall of Fame. "lt was cool." said Augsburg Head Baseball Coach Keith Bateman. "Izyery year it is. you always haye a lot of alumni show up and there are always some great stories. you get to see everybody at the banquet. it's really fun." Fnday night‘s Pow der Pufi‘ football game w ill bring together any and all of the best. and most interested. female students. stafi. or alumni who want to play some football themsely es. The game w ill be held at 8 pm. at Edor Nelson Field with defend— ing champions The Stepdads. by Auggie softball player Jessa llinl. Saturday after the game, the women’s soccer team will take on Carleton at () pm. at Edor Nelson Field, and from 6—K pm. at the Augsburg Ice Arena, the facility will be dedicated to the great Ed Saugestad, who coached the Augsburg hockey team for 38 years and appeared in the national tourna- ment ten times while winning three NAIA national titles. Without a doubt. homecoming Week definiter highlights sports for the greatest of athletes, the ones who have had their better days. and the ones who have never even dreamed of competing on a lield. But one thing is for sure. regardless of which category you fall in to. the competi- tivc spirit and the w lll to w in is always there, "The stall vi ill bounce back next year.” said Kershaw alter the freshman class upset the all-star coaching team. “We w ill reclaim our dodgeball title. And for the record. I thought we got hosed vy ith the over the line call on Maronde." Oh. the agony of defeat.

WNW WW / ‘l'hispastMondayeveningl stinchssinOldMainlistening thewjndows of Old Main was the stay being prepued for the night's homecoming festivities, fimnwhichabansheewailofa salad check was emitting. I use this incidence more or less as an anecdote. I'm not ovedy concernedwidnhemeofdiegeen in fiont’ofUrness Hall, for it is a public space after all and should beusedasone-althoughlwill add that having evening classes internipted by noises from exter- nal festivities is neither rare, nor warmly welcomed. What I see this minor event rqaresenting is the occasional clash between at least two identities of Augsburg College. Neither is mutually exclusive, although they have increasingly appeared to me in my three years at Augsburg to be following divergart paths. The first Augsburg College see is that of Augsburg as an aca- demic It is made up of students, faculty and staff, coming together for the explicit purpose of educating the willing and produc- ' knowledge amongst inquisitive minds — and that includes faculty and staff, not just students. Its pupae is, or should be, primarily about teaching, learning and intel- lectual exploration. However, Augsburg is also a social institution, one with a specific history and one that is expected to meet certain require- ments. Augsburg College, like any other college or university, has a unique and decorated history as a single institution but it also exists alongside more general expecta- tions of institutes of higher educa- tion in the United States. Which brings me to my point. Regardless of the historic ways in which American colleges and universities have organized and behaved, we are approaching the point in this institution's develop— ment where serious questions need to be asked about its future. I am sure there is plenty to say about the “corporatization” of higher education. What also needs to be examined is the relevance of certain social functions in college life. For example: “Homecoming” events were once a prominent social event in annual college ac- tivities, and I’m sure than in many places they still are. But here at Augsburg, Homecoming Week is up against more than considerable apathy. I have no doubt that there are many people out there who gleefully revel in Homecoming Week. But I also have no doubt that there are far more people out there who generally give it only a passing interest. What is its worth to the Augs- burg community? Is a fireworks show, whose price is not inconsid- erable, worth it to the college when budgets for student organizations have been brutally slashed? What are the same fireworks display worth to the college in terms ot‘its aspirations to be a “Green” cam- pus when those fireworks explode chemicals and noise pollution into the urban atmosphere? When we fill up a lot of maroon balloons and distribute them around campus. where do they go when the week is over? Are such things as important to the campus identity as we think they are, or are they more relics of tradition than anything else‘.’ Here at Augsburg we have a fantastic program in the Under— graduate Research Grants given out each summer by the URGO office. It‘s my opinion that the future of the college rests in such strong programs as that and not in the campus‘ ability to throw awe— some parties for Homecoming. l’m well enough aware about how campus funding works. Mon- ey is partitioned in such and such a way. some funds go here. others go there; some funds have explicit purposes. others are laid aside for more general spending. l‘m not making a direct accusation ofmis- use ofcampus funds. I am simply trying to bring up the question of whether or not acti\itics like Homecoming Week accurately reflect the campus and student body that Augsburg College is no“ and increasingly is becoming. And if they do not. then there needs to be a Visible shift of focus for the campus. One could make the argument that they are. in fact. quite neces— sary and integral to campus life and the college‘s mission. But for myself. I hayc felt these opinions and the questions expressed abme dc\ eloping and building as each new academic year rolls around. This year is my last onc and next year I‘m sure l \\ill but c moved on to more prcssing issues in my personal life, lloocycr. I hope that for the gcncrul \\ cll bcing ofAugsburg as conununity. pcoplc begin asking what these sort of events are really worth to the col- lege ~ and that thosc in positions of power feel the impcrriliyc to answer them. NEWS...CONTINUED Feminist Collective meets, lans a car of “truth, e uali and o enness” P Y ‘1 P involved with the Collective. DAVE MADSEN News Editor On Oct. 6, the Augsburg Student Femi- nist Collective (F SC) coordinated for its first open meeting for the 2010-1 1 academic year. The Collective has planned to continue having weekly meetings and the second one was held on Wednesday, Oct. 13 at 4:30 pm. in the Women's Resource Center. Lucreshia Grant, one of the founding members, reported that the initial meeting ofthe FSC was to establish a community agreement to uphold the founding principles of “confidentiality, respect for others’ opin- ions. respect for others' perspectives, trust, respectfiilly challenging each other and In add‘nion to Grail, FSC was originally diapedbytheassistanceoftheWomen'sRe- source Center and thee equally-influential students: Hannah Glusenkamp, Erin Scott, and Elizabeth Hanson. According to Grant, Glusenkamp and she were like-minded in their experiences with peer education and sexual health, which led some of their early discussions. The guiding tagline of the FSC, “Speak Your Tru ” was formed by the four students to ensure that all who participated could be confident in the space’s principles of equality. Grant also said that the tagline of the Collective was created as an intentional phrase to embrace people of all identities who chose to participate. “We wanted to avoid a hierarchy,” Grant said. “We emphasize that all voices matter equally." Though only one of the original mem- bers remains active in the FSC, the intent to create an inclusive environment for stimu- lating discussion remains a priority for those Grant explained that meetings of last semester varied from matters regarding per- sonal experiences with hair to discussions regarding sexual violence and discrimina- tion, “So the conversations jump around," Grant said. “But I personally enjoy that the most." While the FSC encourages attendees to continue to “learn and speak openly,” organizers also plan to emphasize the im- portance of taking action on campus and in public affairs. The Collective reportedly plans to host a “SEX Series" which will be facilitated by trained facilitators with the intent to “discuss and explore issues sur- rounding sexuality, sex and sexual health.” Grant commented that the F SC is ex- cited to organize this dialogue as “talking openly and responsibly about sex, sexuality, and sexual health are key, especially on a college campus." Another program which the Collective is planning to host as an ongoing. monthly event is a screening ofa feminist film. The first film that the FSC is planning to show is 9500 Liberty, a documentary by Annabel Park and Eric Byler. which challenges im- migration policy. “These movies just serve to bring awareness to issues that people perhaps didn’t always consider feminist,“ Grant explained.

Part of Borchardt's role as Assistant Director of Public Safety is to coordinate parking and transportation on campus; as such, she encouraged commuters to try other modes oftransit to eliminate frustrating parking situations and promote a healthy lifestyle. “Even if it doesn't work for you everyday, it‘s nice to have options,” Borchardt said. “Riding the bus and bicycling really does give me a different perspective and connection with the city that I don’t get when I’m stuck in my car in traffic." Students are encouraged to get involved with alternative modes of transportation by trying the bus system, the Greenway, the Light- rail, and the HourCar.

The demonstration was in solidarity with the “10/10/10 Global Work Party." The world- wide event was the successor to last year‘s “lntemational Day of Climate Action" on Oct. 24. which itself is reputed by the organizers to have been the single largest demonstration of any kind in world history. This year activists were encouraged to take part in environmentally positive work programs in their neighborhood Both events were sponsored by the organization 350.0rg, an environmentalist network inspired by the work of NASA scientist James Hansen who first posited that 350 parts per million of car- bon dioxide was the maximum level that could safely exist in the Earth's atmosphere without initiat— termite, GLOBAL WORK PARTY A Day to Celebrate Climate Solutions ing major climactic shifts. With current levels closer to 400 parts per million, 350.0rg was started by environmentalist Bill McKib- ben (recently in the news for his attempts to get President Obama to reinstall the solar panels first put on the White House by Jimmy Carter. then removed by Ronald Reagan), as a grassroots response to a global problem. Beginning with a bicycle parade down to the waterfront, demonstrators mingled with each other while moving between various booths set up by environ— mental and social justice orga- nizations like Greenpeace, ONE and Campus Beyond Goal. The central theme of the aftemoon was pushing for the transition of the nearby power plant, operated by the University of Minnesota. away from coal and to a fuel source with emissions in less damaging quanti- ties. Speakers of the evening in— cluded: State Senators Ellen An- derson and Patricia Torres-Ray. State Rep. Frank Homstein.

The rally comes on the heels of numerous instances of erratic weather worldwide. such as the heat waves in Russia that caused massive forest fires (which in turn damaged Russia‘s agricultural in- dustry and caused a spike in global food prices which severely hurt the global poor) and the torrential downpours that flooded Pakistan. Climate legislation has also run into significant roadblocks in the United States legislature. with an already watered-down climate bill being killed in the Senate and efforts underway to strip the EPA of its recently acquired ability to regulate carbon dioxide. the lead— ing cause ofclimate change. Enrollment Statistics Report holds a mirror up to the College: "Are we doing what we think we’re doing?” Becca ANDERSEN Managing Editor Last week. Augsburg Col- lege released it Enrollment Status Report for 2010-11. The report revealed some interesting facts about the College that may make somequestion. “Whathappened‘?” According to the report. the total increase of the student body frunZtX)‘Mo2010wasl.3pement This translates into 4.033 heads counted in September of 2009 and at 4.086 in September of 2010. More specifically the report showed that the number of gradu- ate students increased 3.1 percent. and the number of da) students increased 2.4 percent. while the number of ueekend college un~ dergnduate students decreased 1.9 percent. This report. also deemed the ‘10th 0:) Report." gathered its statistics from numbers on the tenth day of classes. the last day to drop or add a class without nota- tion. Enrollment was frozen on this day for reporting purposes. but the attrition rate of students after the tenth day was still monitored. as enrollment is ever oscillating. A significant purpose of these reports. said Director of Enroll— ment Planning and Systems De- velopment Jim Erchul. is creat— ing concrete forecasts in regards to headcounts. revenue. and the number of registered courses for upcoming years. Forecasts are made even five years in advance in order to accommodate appropriate preparation. These forecasts are made based on rem aluating assump— tions and asking questions like. ~‘What happened?“ regarding big changes in numbers. Factors such as what‘s realistic. how well certain programs have done. and external conditions like the current economy are taken into account. So when the number ofweek- end college undergrads decreased 1.9 percent, what happened? Erchul speculates that the adult undergraduate community was bit harder by the economy than was the adult graduate or day student communities. In terms of the economy. education is a luxury that may be one of the first things to get cut off the budget. The good news is that the students who left initially facing this dilemma are slowly returning. although it is increasingly difficult to acquire new adult undergraduates. This year's 10th Day Report not only reflects problems particu— lar groups of students are facing “hen it comes to higher educa- tion. but also suggests slight ups and dovms when it comes to the “ell-being of each graduate pro- gram. While numbers in the MAE program increased 15 percent this year. numbers in the MBA program decreased almost 20 ENROLL mmm 93992 > percent. An increase in numbers in the MAE program and a decrease in numbers in the MBA program are not new phenomena this year. but are recurring trends. Senior Associate Director of Graduate Admissions. Na— than Gorr. attests the decrease of numbers in MBA to a surge of competition and to cuts in tuition reimbursement by the employers of graduate students. is the decreasing numbers of the MBA program a reason for concem‘.’ "The MBA program develops large res enue for the college and continues to hold a strong reputa— tion. which is e\ inced through the program’s recent pursuit ofan ad— ditional business accreditation that is unique to the area." said Gorr. In comparison to the MBA program. Gorr said students in the MAE program net er expected Secretariat review, page 7 Volume CXVII.

Show morePage 2 NEWS Minneapolis, Minnesota Frida , October 15, 2010 Minneapolis-West Bank’s liVing dead gather for a night of blood, beer and braaaaains AIDAN NANCARROW Staff Writer This past Saturday marked the sixth installment of the Zombie Pub Crawl. an event/spectacle that is fast becoming a cultural institu- tion in the Twin Cities. Beginning around 4 pm. in the afternoon, the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood was inundated with thousands of cadaverous patrons roaming from one drinking estab- lishment to another, choking the sidewalks with their putrefying bodies and filling the air with cries for braaaaaaains. Though the “Crawl” that is explicitly men- tioned in the title began at the 501 Club and proceeded southward. true to the haphazard nature ofthe undead. zombies poured in from all directions to mull around any one of the 17 participating bars and clubs Begun in 2005, Zombie Pub Crawl was born of a confluence of two distinct modern cultural trends: one where “flash” mobs of oddly dressed enthusiasts con— verge in a pre-set location, a kind of “culture jamming“ exempli- fied by the West Coast “Santa Rampages;" the other a vibrant subculture surrounding the zom- bie media epitomized by George A Romero’s Living Dead movies and their countless aesthetic suc— cessors. The addition of alcohol to such an event was a not unforeseen inclusion. Since its inception, the Crawl has seen phenomenal growth. In true undead fashion. the hordes of zombies have practically doubled each successive year. Beginning with no more than 150 zombies in 2005. attendees were estimated at no less than 1,200 in 2008 and over 5,000 in 2009. This year conserva- tive estimates place attendance at at least 10,000, with some claim- ing attendance as high as 13,000 zombies. Such demanding numbers have led to structural shifis in how the crawl is managed. This year was the first to require mandatory purchase of a wristband to allow entrance into participating bars. Sales were so strong that presale wristbands sold out a week ahead 4 ENROLLMENT, from page 1 of time and lines for wristbands on crawl night were backed up for blocks. ‘ Wristbands cost 5 dollars pre-bought and 10 dollars on Crawl night. Proceeds went to pay for live music, security forces. strategically placed bitfys. state entertainment taxes. Mment for Crawl organizers (who had been organizing the event out of good- will for the five years previous) as well as a sizable donation to the University of Minnesota Depart- ment of Neurology’s Alzheimer Research Program (for healthy brains to eat). With such a heavy concentra- tion of people, most of them in varying stages of inebriation, se- curity was of some concern. Police cars were ubiquitous up and down Cedar and Washington. The large crowds ofien spilled off of side- walks and rarely paid more than passing attention to crosswalks and traffic lights. ofien blocking traffic and causing significant back ups on Cedar and Riverside. But beside the sizable annoy- ance factor of blocked traffic, the addition of security forces seems to have avoided last year’s more serious problems of broken win- dows and muggings. All told, this year’s crowd (reputed to have been the largest gathering of zombies anywhere, ever) raises questions about the ul- timate sustainability of the Crawl. Even distributed across 17 bars, the 10,000 or more participants filled most buildings to capacity. Bars like the Acadia were serving a limited menu and still running out of certain drinks, including water. However. judging from past trends, it is reasonable to assume that the Crawl will only continue to grow in size and number. For the immediate future, unless one wishes to brave the hordes of the (drunken) undead, it would be best to avoid Cedar and Washington avenues on the second Saturday of October. Enrollment numbers fluctuated in programs affected by the slow economy reimbursement from employers. Erchul speculates that the increase of numbers in the MAE program and in most graduate student programs can thank whatever is deemed trendy in the market and the qual- ity of the program. For example, in 2001 and 2002, Augsburg’s MSW program was reinvented at the right time by faculty and program. others involved, and now it is a thriving Erchul said, “Every program has its own character. The strength of Augsburg is that we have a variety of programs. When one is up, another is down.” By reporting important changes and laying the foundation for forecasts, the Mike Gallagher E-mail — echo@augsburg.edu Phone — (612) 330-1 102 ofthcstudents. subject to revision.

The group was composed of Cam- pus Kitchen representatives and MPIRG reps. The summit, titled Hun- gry for Justice, was a national conference that addressed pov- erty and issues of social justice. Hosted by Baylor University and the national Campus Kitchen Project, the conference was geared toward students involved with Campus Kitchens across the country and was focused on poverty and issues such as hunger and human trafl‘icking. An overarching theme penetrating the weekend was articulated best by the opening speaker Kevin Concannon, the Under Secretary of Agriculture for Food. Nutrition. and Con- sumer Services. who spoke of the difference between charity and justice. In his words: *When people become reliant on our charity we have to step back and ask, ‘Is this a justice issue? Are there institutional issues that need to be addressed?” While many of our ac- tions such as soup kitchens, food banks, and other charities fulfill a pivotal role in our com- munities, they are no panacea. They do not necessarily address the root causes of these issues ingrained in our culture and institutions. Take, for instance, the fact that Americans live in the rich- est country in history yet there are 43.6 million human beings living in poverty. Clearly there are systemic problems creat- ing this situation that handouts alone cannot fix. On this issue and others many argue that there needs to be a genuine push for institutional reform through leg- islation, education, and creation of opportunity. Robert Egger, founder of the DC Central Kitchen, gave an inspiring speech pulling from the words of leaders such as Martin Luther King. Jr. and Ghandi to say that the responsibility lies heavily on the shoulders of our generation. As the most active and ser— vice oriented generation ever, Egger said never before have so many people been so wide awake to the presence of deep injustices and so ready to take action. With the future in our hands, Egger said we are left with few choices. Clearly many students feel as if they cannot stand idle and bear witness to injustice. Fortunately, Auggies are blessed with a culture of service that supports and encourages action. There are many options on campus to tackle injustices in all the ugly forms in which it manifests itself. Through the trip, participants of Hungry for Justice have come to appreciate all the more the ways the school, its staff, and its students strive to make the world a better place. First years begin with a service learning project and from there are led to engage Minneapolis. Of course there are numerous extracurricular opportunities to make a differ- ence with such organizations as Campus Kitchens, MPlRG, Community Link, CSA, Campus Ministry, STAND, and the Femi- nist Collective, among others. So take a day, or more if you have it, do as Ghandi said: “Be the change you want to see in the world.”

CHRISTIAN MCGUIRE, STUDIO ARTIST, ELECTRIC BASS, MUSIC An information session on Augsburg's Inprov in Music Enserble course will be held at 1:20 pmon Monday, October 18th in roomMi6 of the rrusic building, for those wishing to enroll in future sessions. Contact Christian McGuire at mcguire@augsburg.edu if you wish to attend or have any questions. Improvisation in Music (MUE 129) is a conterrporary music workshop enserrble course open to all Augsburg College students of any level on any instrument. Itis designed to challenge every student with the unique opportunity to find their own creative musical voice within a collaborative environment. Students attend one workshop per week in which they play and discuss issues regarding performance practice in live and studio settings, inprovisational and stylistic techniques, transcriptions, write corrpositions, stage presence, etc. As students grow in the course, they are exposed to diverse modes of improvisation traditions as practiced by many cultures fromaround the world. They are encouraged through exercises (and an attitude of fearlessness) to experiment based upon what they have learned. The repertoire is open, varied and designed to expose students to a wide range of past and contemporary rrusical styles: Rock, Folk, Jazz, Country, Latin, African, Classical, Trance, Jam-band, Vbtow n/Stax style horn bands, Indian, Fusion, Dixieland, Arabic Maqamat, and many more! With this approach students build a rusical library of the rrind fromwhich they can draw when playing with others. As a music course at a Liberal Arts college, it is intended that the students will be able to apply the transferable methods of collaboration used here to other fields so that they may confortably discuss a diversity of perspectives and provide mature constructive feedback.
