Another article in the “The Gus- tilvian Weekly." which Is particularly interesting is the one regarding the pageant. "The Search for the Light," which was given in the college nudito rlum last Tuesday evening, March 23. No doubt this pageant was very heau‘ tlful and very inspirational. It. was given in the interest of the advance- merit of the Mlssionlry Cause.

Production, Scheduled Friday On Friday, April 4th, a cast chosen from the Luther League will present the play, “And the Glory Forever." by H, Marie Ben- son. The play is particularly writ' ten for young people and finds its setting in a typical Lutheran cont gregation. Bob Kling and his mother had drifted far away from the influence of the church——not because they wanted to, but be' cause they no longer had enough money to continue as outwardly respectable members. But through the devoted guidance of Rev. Gardner the young people of the church are led to see that they cannot continue to call them, selves Christians and still exclude the Klings from their church, The play ends with all kneeling at the altar as the Klings are accepted back into the church. The cast includes: Beverly Orndahl, Agnes Twedt, Sam Syse, and Mario Pe- termn. Following the program in SCI' ence Auditorium the group will go to Siyertsen Recrcation Room for games, lunch, and the film, "Trial at Jerusalem". “Take Up Thy Cross" is the theme for the Luther League mid- week on Thursday, April 3rd. Several student speakers will give talk: that relate to this general Lenten theme. The Luther League "Brick Prolcct" now has reached nearly 5450.00.

Spon- sored by the Mission Society, this festival is an all-school event in its scope. The theme for the festival. “Won to Win," will be the center for the messages brought by the four speakers.

The courses scheduled at pres- ent are in the following fields: Sales, Business Administration, M e d i c i n e , Secretarial Work, Home Economics, Library, Social Work, Education, Physical Edu- cation, Music, and Christian Serv- ice. There is a special session for seniors on “How to Get a Job”. A movie sequence on aptitudes and occupations and discussion of personal types and their prob- lems will be shown. Since about 85 per cent of the population will marry, there will also be a movie on marriage entitled, “It Takes All Kinds".

(I think she seeks to find some malc?—-mail), But as my dear contemporary said, “What fools ye mortals be!" And now within the classroom do we find, An eager, but a foolish mind, As hopelessly he seeks to grasp Somc common knowledge to re mind Him of the subject of the course in which he sits.

And, now I meditate upon this sad attempt Which did defy the meter and the foot; I only hope you were not bored, Or that I did but prove myself, the Fool! How to Cut Without 3 Cut Thcre have been frequent cries of late coming from students faced With the "elimination process". In order that these students might lead a more pcrfect life Without living in fear of too many class cuts, we have devised the “scissorless systemuino cuts, We have four "colorful" foolproof methods of cutting classes Without a cut, I. The “green” way—Report of illness is most appropriate for this occasion. For such diseases as flu, bad colds, or anything else influential, there is an added benefitga free can of "health fee" juice. 1. The “black” wayV—Upon entering the classroom, joyfully bounce to the front of the room and hold a brief but pertinent conversation With the instructor and then plunge to the back row to take a seat. In the heat of discussion grease body liberally and slide out the door on hands and knees. 3. The shotgun method—oops! Sorry, we haven‘t tested this one yet. 4. The “white’I way—Just as the class is about to start, provoke one of your fellow classmates to anger. When he utters his first insult, slash back with a blackboard eraser chok full of chalk. Recruit one or two allies and commence with this smoke screcn effect. A few added comments whispered into various ears might add to the dlS‘ pcrsal of a bit more dust. At the peak of battle, dash for the door and you are free! (Precaution: This method should not be used if the classroom is above the ground floor.

Over 1,200 student musicians throughout the state will compete in piano contests, and about 450 students from the Twin Cities area competed at Augsburg on Saturday. Anyone from the primary grades through the age of twenty! one may compete in these con! tests provided they have been reg' istered by their teacher. The reg! istration fee is $1. The contestants competed in several classes begin' ning with the primary and pro— grossing to the artists. The artist group does not compete, but just performs. The students were re' quired to select one number to present from a given choice of three or four. The contest at Augsburg was held in three different rooms with 'a group of three judges in each room. The judges were piano teachers judging in any area in which none of their own stude were participating. Those who won rankings here were given cer- tificates of merit which entitle them to take part in the Ten- Piano Recital, given annually at the University of Minnesota in conjunction with the yearly con- vention of the Minnesota Music Teachers’ Association.

WADS By Audrey Wan-lid Of course we all know that Easter is the Christian spring fes' rival commemorating the Resur- rection: but did you know that to ancient Norsemen the term is de rived from Ostara, the divinity of Spring; who was welcomed in a festival of celebration on her annual return. This festival. called Ostara or Eastre (whence Easter) was especially the season of new birth: and from it arose the sym' bols of the Easter egg and of the Easter bunny. All the customs or folkway which we follow at Easl (er time had their beginnings in those ancient days. And as all customs have a beginning, we may wonder when and how Eas' ter vacation originated. Well, I don‘t know either, but as long as we're having one I'll not be particular. Happy Easter! 9.. Was I mentioning spring with all this snow on the ground? It seems that over at Morton Hall Audrey Fascia and Arlene Rein~ ertson have not forgotten that the season for making snowmen is over. They set up a miniature snowman in Beryl J ‘5 room and upon her arrival home a min' iature (.7) snowball fight ensued! ovo Here is a note of interest to some of the upper classmen: “Myrt” Olson and Paul Hoplin have announced their engage' ment. "Myrt" was a star guard on the Parkboard team last year. 099 Have you seen a robin yet? That‘s a sure sign of spring! HAPPY APRIL, FOOLS!

Prexy Trel' stad offered a door prize and about fifty students attended. When the time came for the drawing.

The first meeting on the organization was held Monday, March 10, at 8 o‘clock, to nominate officers, dis! cuss some objectives for the club, and to plan for future meetings. Oflicers elected were Richard Pearson, president: Roger John- son, vice'president', and Alice Gjudahl, secretary'treasurer. Miss Lund is the adviser for the club. Some of the objectives of the club are: I, to spoan an out! standing business student in a high school; 2, to stimulate busi' ness interest here at school; 3. to ask employers what qualities and standards they require of em ployees; 4, to investigate some of the various job opportunities. The second meeting, Monday, March 24, was in the form of a field trip to the plant and offices of the Star and Trib- une.

To Compete in Full Conference Slate '51:“ Sport Briefs By Bodenuon An unusual situation concern— ing two guys named Bill exists in the Auggie sports scene this spring. First, there is the case concern' ing Bill ' Bill has been Augsburg‘s outstanding pitcher in baseball for the past two seasons, and was destined to be one of the best pitchers in the conference this year. But because of having received money for playing in a game outside of conference play during the season last spring, Bill has been declared ineligible for competition for one year. (Bill is a senior.) Bill Kuross is the other person contributing to this unusual sit- nation. Bill won the state singles championship in tennis last spring, but will not be competing this year because he has used up the four years of athletic competition allowed under conference rules. Thus we have two exceptional athletes in school this year who will not be competing because of eligibility rules. On the brighter side of the sports picture, the prospects for this year's tennis team are very good. With the return of Pee Wee Nyhus and Sonny Knudson, both of whom will be out to win their third letter in tennis, chances are that this will be the Auggies' strongest spring sport representa' tive. Pee Wee worked at the Nicollet Field Tennis Club last summer, and played tennis every day against some of the best com— petition in the city. Sonny may be slowed down for a while because of a foot injury, but will add greatly to the team strength when he is ready to play. The baseball team started 05' cial practice in the gym March 26 , .

Sport-Elimi- Today, April 1, 1952 THE AUGSBUDG ECHO SMSW Bob Johnson Page Three Aussie Athletes Superior to M.l.A.C. Opponents; Join Midwest By Chas. Repercussions continue to rock our campus following the shocking announcement that Augsburg is severing its membership in the Min- nuon Intercollegiate Athletic Conference to join the Midwest Con- ference beginning next fall. This dramatic revelation was made known by Athletic Director Ernie Anderson late last night after a stormy session with the Board of Directors. Coach Anderson explained the decision by saying: “Pr-i- mnrilydfiachangehasbemmndeoopermitiutouseAudreyFn-asch CmmyeartorqslaeeGdiringwhoisarmybound.Girlsm dlowedto, '_r inthe"'L islbeanewertoourprlyen” BY THE WAY... SPRING? W.A.A. This past week the gang has been meandering down to the Club to bowl. By setting our own pins we get to bowl at the reduced rate of 15c a line. You bowling enthusiasts had bet- ter take advantage of this. With spring just around the corner (2') our thoughts have been turning to sports such as loftball and tennis. As soon as weather permits these will be the new activities. Until then we‘ll have to keep the rafters over in the gym ringing by playing ll'ldl’ vidual sports of our own choos' mg. Let‘s keep it all under our has until “Mr. Rubin" decides to come back to this wilderness of now. It'll give us somethmgto dream about while we're plowmg W the snow and slush. C ' and ' ' Pravda Other reasons advanced includ- ed these: tired of acne opponenm year after yur, especially in try- ing to drum up homecclning slo gens; elimination of the trip into the wilderness to ploy Concordia: looser 'i "ly rulu; more lu- crative player subsidintions; and better Twin Cities' sports cover- age. Meanwhile, basketball Captain- elect Don Reimer, refusing to play in corny Iowa, as would be re quired by joining the Midwest, plans to mnsfer to St. Thomas for his senior year of competition. Don chose the Tommies because he feels he will be able to concen- trate solely on basketball, free from female interference. To compensate for Augsburg‘s secession. College has inked a ten'year pact with the MIAC and today announced that Jim “Tiger” Kotxom has signed as head football and basketball coach! _ So long, Hamlme, Camus. and the rest! It‘s been so good to know ya! APRIL FOOL! When Old Man Winter finally melts his icy paw, the Auggies have a full spring sport schedule ahead of them. Members of the baseball team have been working out in the gym and over in the U. of M. fieldhouse for about a week. The squad has nine retum' ing lettermen from last year's team which finished second from the bottom in conference stand! ings. Graduation left big holes to be filled, especially in the infield. New men who are expected to help fill these gaps are “Swede” Swenson, Phil Gronseth and John Fredetidtson in the infield; Paul Munson, Ray Henjum, Ron Welde, pitchers, and Jerry Fuller- ton, catcher. In the conference St. Thomas and Hamline are ext pected to be two of the stronger teams. The Augs open their sear son playing Hamlin: here on April 18. This year‘s home games will be played at the Parade Stat dium and Nokomis field. ‘Edor feels that the succass of this year‘s team depends much upon the play of the frosh and new men. Dave Hagert will hcad this year‘s track entry. Other returns ing lettermen are Bob Young, Jim Hanson, and Lyle Young. New men are expected to round out the team. Two letter winners. Leon Radde and Glen Carlsen, are the only rc' turnees from last year‘s golf team. Radde will be the student coach of this year‘s team. LeRoy Nyhus will be the stu' dent coach of the tennis team. Other returning letter winners are Stan Benson and Sonny Knudson. Anyone interested in going out for any of the spring sports should report to the Athletic of- fice as soon as possible.

The Nelson'Men have tenta’ tive practice games with River Falls, but the recent weather change has dimmed the chances of these games being played, These games were to be played before the Hamline opener, Please, Mr. Sun! by Qua-t At Augsburg April is noted for two things: showers and student government elections. The showers will be dealt with by the weather man, and the students will deal with the student government. In order that you, Joe Blow College, the voter. may better bc able to cast your vote in the coming elections, I would like to present some prejudiced views on this year's student government. Looking at the student council as a hole. no slam meant of course, we see that they have done nothing particularly outstanding, With the exception. perhaps, of last fall's leadership workshop. Opinions concerning the success of even this venture varied from "a WJSIC of time" to “stimulating”. In looking for reasons for this rather lazy attitude I checked the attendance rocords for Council mcctmgs. Thcrc are twenty’eight members on thc Councrl and it [llliL‘S twenty mcm‘ hers to form a quorum. Seven times out of the last fifteen meetings the Council has failed to have a quorum and on one instance there were only eleven members there! No wonder they don't accomplish much. But there are a few faithful membch who attcnd regularly and I would like to commend Rudy Borntson for being thc only muni— bcr with a perfcct attcndancc rccord. Continuing to hmk at individual attendance figures thcrc is one mcmhcr of the Council whn has n so six meetings in a row and thcrc arc a numbcr of uthcrs \\'l[h rccnrds that come close to that. It might also be mentioned that during thc period for which the Council has attendancc ligurcs they never had a meeting with pcrfcct .ittcndancc. Taking iust Il’llS .uicndancc rccmd into account is a big hclp in explaining lhc apathetic .Itlltudu Much is found in almost all school organizations. \thn the lmdcrs of our student government fail to shuw L‘nuugh mtcrcst tn rvcn .Ittcnd the Council meetings rcgulnrly thcn how can we expect thc lcsscr lcadl‘rs to do any better“ Tl’llS would probably be A good mm In l’t‘mllltl the newly—clotted Student CUllllCll mcnibcrs 3 \\'L‘ll us the rc-clcrrcd ours. (hilt by accepting the wb of rcprcscn mg Kllt‘ll’ lclhm' studnts they are acccptmg .i rcsponsrbility t0 scn'c wisely and to the host of thcir ability. But attendance isn’t the only place where the student government is in a questionable light. In the department of finance we have a ft-w interesting figures. The money that the student body gets to spend comes right from the pocket of you and me, and because of this we have every right to question concerning how our monty is spent, When this year’s Council went into office last spring one of the first moves that they made was to send ten men on a trip to Washington to push the “wheat for India” program. While no one can deny that this was a good move as far as getting publicity for the school and a vamtion for those who went goes, we would point out that this ven- ture cost you and me, the taxpayer, two hundred and thirty dollars— and this is highly questionable. Another item that could prove to be misuse of money might be that over twenty-five dollars was spent for stationery this year. The Student Council must be doing a lot of letter writing, if nothing else. The last thing I’d like to mention under finance is the fact that the Council had to subsidize the Sophomore class to the tune of thirty dollars. Now this is not only unusual but it sets a precedent for other classes to follow. A final word concerning our chief executive, the President. I think he has done a rather good Job when one considers that up till late November and December he hadn't read the constitution enough to know that last year‘s Council set up a social fund to pay for all'school socials (what are they?) And, what other President would take the time to write up play'by'play accounts of all the basketball games? The Home Class Hears Guest Speakers 0n Marriage and Home Problem Situation Mrs. Dorothy Dyer, head of family life education at the Univ versity of Minnesota, spoke on "Psychological Adjustments in Marriage" to the class in the home on Friday, March 21. She was the first of a group of guest lec— turers to speak to the class for its study of the unit, “Ad)ust' ment in Marriage". Dr. C. R. Wall, the school th' sician, will address the group on "Biological Adjustments in Mar! riage". "How to Meet Crisis" such as death, sickness, desertion, divorce, drinking, gambling, and so forth, Wlll be presented by Rev. West» by, member of the Augsburg su- ciulogy faculty. A local pastor has been invited to address the class on “Aspects of Spiritual Ad)ustment in Mar rage and Establishing .n Chllstldn Home." Rev. Luther Strommen spent an hour With the class discussing how Christianity can be effective in a courtship and home situation. Under the direction of Miss Gada Mortensen, the class is making plans for a field trip to the St. Paul Festival of Nations. King Edor Looks to [Rebuilding] Job Mr. Edor Ndson, likeable Auggie baseball menv tor, in six years at the helm of Auggie nines, has had two state champions, one runnerup, one third, and two clubs that ended in the second dwision, In 1946. Edor‘s first year at Augsburg, his club won the title. This was followed by a runnersup shot in 1947 and a championship again in 1948. In 1949 his club placed third and in 1950 and 1951 he had those two second division clubs. Some of the most outstanding baseball players Mr. Nelson coached at Augsburg are such classy ' and Ar! Marvin, out— fielders like LeRoy Carlson and Bob Howells, stellar receivers like Bud Leak, Dave Dillon, and Kelly Rods, and pitching stars like Claire Snowmen, Red ' Onisdault. These are but a sam' pling of the many stars Augsburg has turned out under the capable direction of Mr. Nelson. infield stars as Red Brmnamanstll “b61952wa Thiswasaqunflionaikod Mob-us of Mr. Nelson recently. gie n'lts. inbaseball? Edor answered this quation by saying, “This is the year for anyone who has played some ball to p've it a try as 1952 will be a rebuilding year for Augp'e baeball." Returnees from whom Edor looks for a lot of help are Bob Hage, Jack Schwartz, Arlo Dahlager and Wayne Nebon, seniors; , Don Reimer, Henry Sechler, and Chuck Howard, letter winners. Thme fellows will form the nucleus for the rebuilding job Mr. Nelson plans this seaon. As for his Views of this year‘s baseball confer' ence race, Mr. Nelson says that on paper Hamline, Gustavus, and St. Thomas look like the teams to heat, but you can never count any team in the con» ference out as they are all always up for the Aug' DonEchofi' Call for baseball candidates Will be around March 3151. so anyone interested in trying out for the Auggie nine should contact Edor Nelson in the Athletic Office as all positions are open, and all prospects Will be welcomed.

The main entrance will be connected to the Science Hall in the place next to the switchboard. Upon entering the ground floor, one will find himself in a large reception room similar to the Student Lounge in the Science building. The main purpose of this lounge will be to entertain visitors. Off to one side of this room is an office and next to it is the Educational Methods Laboratory. The function of this room will be to teach the educa- tion students the various methods of teaching and how to apply them. Next. connected to the edu- cation room is the Audio Visual Center. Here they will keep all audio-visual equipment. Students will be able to preview all movies in this room and also the educa- tion students will be taught the use of movies in the classroom. Adjoining the other end of this room is the library classroom. The nanlt‘ designates its purpose, a classroom for teaching library students. A large part of this floor will be given over to stacks with a section reserved for the archives. Thv lirst fluur of this new budd- ing will ht- druith cntircly to thc siiidciit library.

The conference also cov- ered research and administration. A number of our faculty joined the approximately 130 represen— tatives from Christian and sec- tarian Protestant colleges.

DAWN OF THE HIPOCALYPSE Kncre LUCCHIN‘I Closet Hipster Today, on April I, Minneapo- lis Mayor R.T. Rybak announced his total evacuation plan for the City ofMinneapolis as well as its surrounding counties. Officials had been worried for months about the possibility of the hipster apocalypse or hipocalypse and the consequences it could have on not only the citizens but the city itself. “The city is under attack" said Mayor Rybak. “We must evacuate before H2H, Hipster too Human, infects all of our citizens." H2H, Hipster too Human, was discovered in early Septem- ber 2009. Ofi‘icials began seeing the crippling effects immediately. “Within weeks we could see the destruction it had on our city. Their bikes were everywhere,” said Chief of Police Timothy Dolan. “Some stacked two, three bikes tall. There dark rimmed glasses broken all over the streets. We even noticed increased sales in record stores and underground book stores." There were shocking reports of singing and guitar playing hap- pening on various street comers, as well as handmade flyers being passed out by the hipsters. The flyers had slogans such as, “Sweat- shops are death. . . man,“ “Save the baby Whales... dood,” and "Help make PBR cheaper.” Local resident, Gerda Johan- son, stated, “Ya‘ know, I went to some of those damn hipster things and I hate ‘em. The nasty things are always leaving at all hours of the night. The house always smells like a skunk and those darn cigarette butts are everywhere. Ya‘ know, I told my husband Frank to get out there and do something about ‘em, but the damn hipsters convinced him the buns were some OFFICIALS FEAR A VIRUS-LIKE. HIPSTER EPIDEMIC THAT COULD SWIPE THE TWIN CITIES “biodegradable hoopla.“ However, while many citizens fear for their lives, many support the H2H epidemic. Local liquor store owner, Marty Hodge stated, “I like the hipsters. They don't bother me none. Ya‘ know. I‘m always sold out of that there Pabst Blue Ribbon but I hear it’s ‘cool‘ with the kids. It took me a while to get used to the paying in quarters but the wife likes it so she can park downtown.” While some show their sup- port, Mayor Rybak and Tim Dolan are determined to end this epi- demic and save as many lives as possible. “The people of Minne- apolis think this is small pennies, but it’s not,” said Dolan. “It won’t be funny when the dam university Minneapolis officials have been worried for months about the possibility of the hipster apocalypse or "hipocalypse" and the consequences it could have on the city and its residents. shuts down because the kids all wanna go to art school. It won‘t be funny when Hard Times opens at another location, or two. We have to stop this now.“ The evacuation will take place Friday, April 8. Citizens are urged to take only necessities including clothes. foods, and valuables. However, police urge citizens to take all grandma clothing. vintage anything, and hard liquor or beer. “We are going to save this city and the fine citizens that call this home“ said Rybak. “Those damn hipsters don't scare me." Augsburg scraps science hall plans, plans even bigger fireworks show Mnce GALLAGHER Baseball Extraordinaire A source familiar with Augs- burg College’s budget and upcom- ing plans told me late Tuesday that, despite pleas by those with common sense, that Augsburg would be passing on the proposed construction of a new science hall and instead get “bigger and badder“ fireworks for next year‘s homecoming festivities. “You have to look at what fur- thering education really means," said the source. “Yes, a new science hall would serve a lot of practical purposes, but think of how many more fireworks you could acquire with a few million more dollars. Plus, fireworks have an immediate payofi‘, i heard a minor that said the science hall wasn‘t going to be done until the 22nd century.“ While Augsburg's reputation as a growing academic institution will be sure to take a hit, the office of the president released a state— ment defending the decision. “In this modern day, we as a college believe it is important to enthuse our minds of tomorrow. We also believe that as a Lutheran institution, at some point science and religion have to split since they don't really get along. Addition- ally, we believe that ifthe big man upsmirs had the technology we do in his time, he would‘ve taken full advantage of it. In this institution‘s collective mind, science is a thing of the past, while special effects and explosions will never go out of style. We are proud of the spur-the-moment impulsiveness ofthis decision, and look forward to showing the University ofMin- nesota that we may be smaller. but we can still be ballet." The last part of that mono- logue drew some confusion, but some light was later shed on the confrontational statement directed at the U. The planned upstaging ofthe roughly 60,000 student institution across the street seems to stem from an incident between Augs« burg President Paul C . Pribbenow and incoming University of Min— nesota President Eric Kaler. When Kaler was the president ofStony Brook University (N.Y.). Pribbenow was in New York tak- ing in a basketball game at the famous Rucker Park. Much like Pribbenow‘s philosophy. Kaler is determined to get involved in the community, and was having a picnic in Harlem with his constitu- ents. He spotted Pribbenow from across the way and instructed his posse to accompany him in ap- proaching Pribbenow. According to the story. Kaler tapped Pribbenow on the shoulder and Kaler asked him “are you giv- ing out free samples?" “I‘m not sure I know what you mean sir," said Pribbenow. Kaler persisted. insisting Prib- benow and his trademark bowtie resembled Orville Redenbacher and that he be granted a free sam- ple of his popcorn. "l am the president ofAugs- burg College Paul C. Pribbenow sir." he said. “And let me say I find your comments quite offensive." “Well come on Paulie." said Kaler. “The bowtie, the comb over, i would‘ve thought it was Halloween and you were passing out popcorn instead ofcandy." From then on the Pribbenow- Kaler feud has continued. and one has to wonder whether this fireworks display is just a per- sonal way for Pribbenow to exact revenge on Kaler. Whatever the reasoning may be. it looks as if Augsburg is headed in a direction that will be slightly less academic. and slightly more explosive. Show less

Burnham vowed to perform at Augsburg‘s annual Spring Jam. “People love my jokes! Hey! Hey! What's the difference be- tween an Auggie and a feminist'.’... Auggics don‘t have hair on their backs!“ Burnham said to a group of students clearly not interested in anything he had to say. Students seem bemused at best when asked about the pres- ence ofthe comedian on campus. Organizers ofthe Spring Jam deny asking Burnham to perform. say- ing in a written statement “He kept asking ifl wanted to sleep over at his mom's house so we could watch Cinemax and drink Moun- tain Dew. i told him to ask Seth Lineard.

Students cited his context in global hegemony and patriarchic politics. “His style of performance is a testament to how far we have to go to reach equality in this country,“ said Junior Sarah J ergenson. “Plus he‘s a poo-poo head and smells like, well. poo."

Show moreFriday, April 1, 2011 Minneapolis, Minnesota Page 3 Excerises Man hits ball with stick, hailed by onlookers DAVE MADSEN W13an In an impressive display of athletic prowess last Friday, student Mike Gallagher swung a large metal rod at an incoming ball constructed of both cork and cloth, which then sent the orb hurdling in the opposite di- rection from which it was originally thrown. In a fit of celebration, Gallagher ran in an extended, counter-clockwise motion as his peers clapped loudly to celebrate his hand-eye coordination and subsequent ability to connect the aluminum-alloy instru- ment with the rounded projectile. “Hooray,” an onlooker shouted as Gal- lagher finished his lap. “Your physical apti- tude excites me and the recently-increased number on the scoreboard afiirms my deci- sion to support this collection of players!” Prior to Gallagher’s swinging of the meter-long metallic pole, he and his peers donned matching outfits which signified the group’s solidarity against a rival col- lective of young men from a neighboring academic institution. Then, the troupe of athletes gathered around a diamond-shaped field as the opposing group of students fi'om the rival school sat on a nearby bench. One by one, a member from the non-Augsburg team attempted to defend himself, when opportune, from the aforementioned cork- cotton sphere. Afier enough time of throwing the ball and running around the grounds, the assem- bly of Auggies attempted to likewise hit the ball as the antagonizing team attempted to catch the ball in mid-air, throw the ball in the proper direction, or touch our students with the stitched, white orb. Surprisingly, those who attended the event did not appear bored or disinterested. Keith Bateman, faculty supervisor of Augsburg College’s collection of stick- swinging, ball-throwing students, was pleased with Gallagher’s performance on Friday. “Mike excelled in his effort to per- form at a high standard while remaining within the guidelines placed upon him by our division’s rulebook,” Bateman said. “Though pride for my students swells deep within me after this victory and the smell of a sweaty uniform afier a long and brutal The joy of cricket Corns STANHILL Law-Abiding Citizen Let me tell you something about cricket. “The game underwent major development in the 18th century and became the national sport of England," as They tell us. Another century passed and saw the advent of the county club system and the controversial ascent of overarrn bowling over the classical preference for roundarm (although the Isport goes as far back as Tu- dortimes when it was known as “fuzbaal"). It has since become a haven of wicket- wranglers, overarrn bowlers, loose men, bold women, roundarm revivalists, and liberal (“with a lower case ‘l,’ of course") values. Now let me tell you something about Contemplatives whose Perceptions have been Cleansed. “They do not have to stay in their rooms," as Huxley tells me. “The cricket- ers, on the Other Hand,” 1 can just see Aldy saying, ‘fcan stuff it.“ No amount of nervous scribbling on the back of my hand and humming frantically to Bowie’s “Heroes,” which had been on the radio this morning, could keep the Man from waxing loquacious about the need for an abandoning of the achievement principle to the abafi Freudo- Dialecticians and ego-mongers and supplant it, betimes, with contemplative satisfaction, unimpressed by “the pursuit of power or the drearier forms of pleasure.“ (Years later he would use that one in a fimny little pamphlet called “The Doors of Perception.“ But I always remembered it as | . ABE : vou I LOOKING AT? my own little souvenir of that mid-Spring picnic.) - As for the cricketers, they stuffed it and made way for real sports. Like professional wrestling. Like professional wrestling— Let me tell you two things about profes- sional wrestling. It’s a hardcore spectacle. "Hardcore," despite its common usage as an adjective, is in fact the only adverb in the English language without an adjectival derivation. Serendipitously, this colloquial adjectival usage has given the word a unique capability to turn nouns into verbs, in a deli- cate flourish fusing form to content, thereby betraying even more of its true meaning in the usage than in the definition. It describes. uncannin the feeling of contact with another man‘s ribs, through a solid inch of sinewy flesh. against the bare—skin bone of your own lefi knuckle. Pretty sure that‘s Webster‘s; might have been von Sacher—Masoch‘s. The other operative word in the phrase. adjudicably, was “spectacle.” This umbrella term encompasses Their vast arsenal of dis- tractions,‘ assurances and other soma. From the spectacle of advertising, which infiltrates both public and mental space. to aesthetic spectacle at the cinema (all of it anesthetic in effect). All of which serve to instill and perpetually reinforce false senses of reality, self-identification and experience on the masses in order to obscure the degradations of consumerist life. “it is not a collection of images, rather. it is a social relationship between people that is mediated by images,“ as Debord warbled to the oozing wretches. match reminds me of a time more simple, I must restrain myself from an extensive use of hyperbole; suffices to say, I am very happy with the outcome of our work as an independently-fueled yet singularly—focused cooperative.” Gallagher, who has been methodically perfecting the physical movements neces- sitated by this season-specific activity since he was a child, took his enormous triumph The overeager and strumptuous young men and women of the golden noughts would realize, within a two-decade. that the technocracy. having not only fully intemal~ ized, but henceforth projected back out the consumerists spectacle, resulting in the discreet manifestation of their self-defined and perpetually self-defining hyperreality. itself hermetically sealed from any physi- cal exoreality (their space colony‘s only imports being products part and parcel of the consumerist spectacle itselfand its only exports being crippling laissez-faire expec- torant). the elite have sealed themselves into a constant feedback loop which constricts upon itself toward a singularity - known ofhitting a ball with a stick in due stride. When asked how he managed the endeavor, Gallagher responded. “It‘s a relatively simple concept: I simply sought to maximize the force of contact between the stick and the ball through an efficient use of inertia. In order to do so. i had to determine torque—which is essentially the positioning of my arms to the aluminum rod as it relates to the angular velocity of the swinging movement—and the distance between the Contact point and the axis of rotation.“ “it‘s simple physics," Gallagher added. Reports from athletic sources indicated that Gallagher and his companions will again attempt to out-do another group of students from a neighboring Midwest col- lege next Tuesday. Though spectators are not guaranteed to witness the exact same feat of strength and coordination from Gallagher. there is speculation that at least one student from Augsburg will hit a ball with a stick and run around a section ofthe field. Plus, sources said, it‘s a great excuse to get drunk on a Tuesday afiemoon. as the spectre ofthe spectacle. it has been suggested that this ultimate homogenization toward a single unit of spectacular con- sciousness will explode in a second big hang from inside the already extant universe. and the meta—universe which emerges from the spectre ofthe spectacle shall be a single all- consuming and ever-expanding Cocafola adven. The other thing about professional wrestling is that “in order to score by pin- lall. a wrestler must pin both his opponent‘s shoulders against the mat while the referee slaps the mat three times (referred to as a ‘threc count').“ As They tell us.

Unable to discern the sar- castic from the genuine (especially in print), Conover submitted pla- giarized articles he thought were jokes. such as “Rybakv to speak at Augsburg“ (“I thought we were in St. Pauli”). “Brett Favre to Retire" (“wait, I thought he pitched for the Yankees!“). and “Walker to Cut Teacher Positions“ (“I think I‘ve heard ofthese Chuck Norrisjokes before. . ."). But over time. Conover be- came more adept at ripping offar- ticles and printing them under his by—line. Finally. he found the right places to find articles he could plagiarize. However. he got in hot water when he tried to submit a serious. personal piece entitled “My Life as a Cameroonian Wife.“ Conover was recently ex- pelled from Augsburg for his jour— nalistic debauchery. but promptly landed a position with the Fox 9 Twin Cities as a writer. Conover, above, was caught plagiarizan articles in The Echo. Upon being expelled from Augsburg, Conover was Immediater hlred as a script writer for Fox News. “Billboards?

Augsburg: Aldous Huxley! “What iris and rose and carnation so intensely signified was nothing more. and nothing less, than what they were — a tran- sience that was yet eternal life. a perpetual perishing that was at the same time pure Being. I continued to look at the flowers. and in their living light I seemed to detect the qualitative equivalent of breathing but ofa breathing without returns to a starting point. with no recurrent ebbs but only a repeated flow from beauty to heightened beauty."

On useless papers , and expired pringles‘ Dear Professor, I am an intelligent, educated individual with a wealth of ideas and a general openness toward learning and academic endeavors. That said, I cannot bear to complete your ridiculous assignment. . It is a four to five page paper assigned three weeks ago. I have sat down in an efl'on to work on it probably 15 times in the last week, and have been largely unsuccessful each time. Not only is the assignment uninteresting and unimportant, but it also is poorly described on the as- signment sheet which has led to hours and hours of aimless searching for the information you seem to be asking me to regurgitate for you. It is as if you are sending us off into a cave that is pitch-blacktofind' a needle you have hidden in a haystack somewhere in the back. This . unnecessary quest is something I do not appreciate. Instead of sufi'ering through this assignment. I have Facebook stalked people I don’t care about at all, instant messaged people I also don’t care about at all, web-surfed for nothing in particular, shopped online, downloaded music, watched. ‘ movies and bad television, drank absurd quantities of Diet Coke, Red Bull, and coffee, prepared several snacks and meals, smoked hookah, ate a Pringle that was “best sold by" May of 2009 (worst decision ever), applied for jobs, sent emails, wrestled with a dog, laundered clothes, deep-cleaned a kitchen, showered, beautified, contemplated other assign- ' merits, played for hours alone with a beach ball, and I even wrote this rant 1‘ in letter-fonn. All of it was more enjoyable than the time I have spent attempting to focus my mind on this ridiculous life-wasting assignment. In fact, instead of doing this assignment, I would probably rather eat an entire can of expired, 2009 Pringles or a carton of rotten eggs with .' curdled milk, shave off my eyebrows, cut off a toe or two, run 75 miles through the Gobi desert, avoid Diet Coke for 5 years, starve myself for a month, abstain from listening or playing music for a month, give up my driver’s license and all of my fieedom in general so...be locked in a tower for months, and I would probably consider giving up my first. born child if it’s a boy. - Unfortunately, I will not give up my degree or my graduation deadline of May. Therefore, I will suffer through channeling the mental fortitude of chess champions, Harry Potter, and the religiously oppressed. I Will stay up all night tonight and all night tomorrow because I have spent- three weeks doing everything but this assignment and it must get done.

As many of you might be aware, I am nearing the end of my third consecu— tive year as editor-in-chief of the Echo. I have approached this looming date with I foresee my career path as one that benefits everyone it affects. and I am much fear and trepidation, and I think I have found a solution to the problem of attempting to locate my replacement next year. While many people might view three consecutive years editing a student produced newspaper as an absurdly long tenure, I beg to differ. My institutional knowledge and journalistic skills are impeccable, and I think the newspaper and proud that I have chosen a life that will never leave the hallowed halls ofAugsburg College. There is not much to discover off campus, anyway. I appreciate the support readers have given me over the years, and I am sure the overwhelming accolades the Echo constantly receives will continue as long the school will only be helped by having more of the same in the future. It is for this reason that I will be remaining as editor-in-chief of the Echo for as long as I like. It’s a tough world outside of my institutional cocoon, and I simply don‘t feel like expending the effort it will take for me to be hired in a ‘real job.’ (Not that] could get hired anywhere anyway. If Brian Krohn has to go to graduate as I am here. Ifthings go as well as I hope. I might even start running “borrowed” articles from other papers alongside ours without accreditation, just to see if read- ers can tell which is which. If anyone has questions or suggestions for ways to improve the newspaper school to put off paying back his loans, there is no hope for the rest of us). I have decided not to consult anyone else on making this decision. It is im- Cheers. portant to have a unilateral, pseudo-totalitarian vision for a student organization, and I feel making this choice on my own is the only way to go about it. The Echo can lead all other students on campus by example in this respect from here on out. Continuing my position as editor-in-chief is also a solution to the Echo‘s chronic lack of participation. The more warm bodies we can get to participate in our escapades, the better As long as I don‘t have to worry about things like show- ing up to class and doing homework anymore, 1 will have much more fi'ee time to force English majors into self constructed cages in the Echo office to pump out articles for my journalistic machine.

President Obama, Lady Gaga, and the Ghost of Al- len Ginsberg Vow to Fund Murphy Square Forever BRIANNA OLSON-CARR Looking For A lab Word of the famous Murphy Square literary and visual arts journal getting decommissioned has spread like wildfire these past few weeks. Hundreds of students have been pounding on the doors of the Auggie's Nest demanding: “WHAT DO WE WANT? ART! WHAT DO WE WANT IT? COM- MISSIONED!“ President Barack Obama could hear the cries ofthe Auggies all the way from Wash- ington. He sent a public address to the college, or “State of the Augsburg": “As you know, I‘m from Min- nesota. I once spent a long week- end at Mall ofAmerica and lkea. But seriously. I want to address the decommissioning of Murphy Square: it's no secret that those of us here have had our differences over the last two months. The debates have been contentious; we have fought fiercely for our beliefs. And that's a good thing. That's what a robust democracy demands. However, six people in a room who have not heard of such an incredible literary work as Murphy Square need to get out of the Christensen Center basement! 1, President Barack Obama, will personally see to it that Murphy Square is read all over the nation." This overwhelming national support for Augsburg‘s literary journal caught the attention of international superstar. Lady Gaga. She wrote to President Pribbenow to encourage self—expression in the face of“The Man“: “You're on the right track. baby, you know? It‘s all about the art. I sing an. I wear an. I am an. You know. you can promise you‘ll be kind, but you won't stop until you have the funding. Hey, I‘m your biggest fan. 1‘" fund you ‘cuz you all love me. And because I love the arts." The support from Lady Gaga had Aug- gie‘s noses pressed up against the windows ofthe printer for Murphy Square, which has been personally overseen by Bill Keller. the execu- tive editor for The New York Times. Ted Conover, editor-in-chief of Murphy Square said of working with Keller: “He‘s a pretty okay guy. He had a couple good ideas for thejoumal. I mean. it‘s not the same because he‘s not part ofthe Murphy Square cult. He refuses to get the required tattoo of Bob Cowgill‘s Ray-Bans on his thigh. But yeah, he‘s um..,nice." Murphy Square commotion even brought back Allen Gins- berg frorn his grave. Ghost Allen Ginsberg. or as he prefers to be called now, Ghostberg, \owed to inten‘upt all future Commissioning Committee meetings by shouting uncomfonablc poetry about mas- turbation for the rest of all time. He has been whispering in the ears ofProfessor Doug Green and sprinkling demons down his turtle- necks. Green reported Ghostberg's intentions to haunt any Senator. and their extended social network, who does not want to commission Murphy Square. Obama, Gaga, and Ghostbcrg have made themselves clear: they plan to fund Murphy Square FOR- EVER. Show less

Listening to the singular, fo— cused sound of Black‘s voice, one can hear an artist who‘s arrived fully-formed: free from the con- straints of “tone-color.“ resolute in her commitment to the only six notes she deems worthy ofher singing, and above all. devoid of true investment in anything save basking in the weekend‘s delicious inception.

By the time she gets to the bus stop. she sees her friends, and we see a glimmer of happiness in a face that had previously been smiling only in its acute aware- ness ofwhat was expected of her. As her friends arrive (just in time for an evenly rounded first verse to end), Rebecca casually ponders the merits of kickin’ in the front seat and chillin' in the back seat. And now, with a wry, knowing smile, Black, fully aware the only open seat is the middle in back, asks her listeners to place her wherever they‘d have her.

His flow is effort- less, revealing the influence ofhis longtime partner Flava-Flav. Also smacking of Sir Flav is the levity with which Chuck tackles his sub- ject matter. Gone is Black Panther who once spat fire over beats by The Bomb Squad. Here, Chuck is at ease, by himself, balancing serenity and enthusiasm in a way only someone unconcerned with their spot in a car can. As the focus shifts back to Black. we see now her struggle. Her proclamation, “Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun!” rings false. We see -her. fully aware of her week's shortcomings, snider reveling in the adoration of her peers, who remain unaware of the Black‘s solidified emotional disconnect. With each chant of. “Friday, Fri- day, Gotta get down on Friday“ Black courts contradiction. There’s went straight to paying for their domain name (wwaitmagdude. com) and web hosting for exactly one year. “Not only is it green or something,“ says Krouse-Gagne of the decision, “but it also speaks to the imperrnanence of life too, ya know? Think about it.“ I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it, actually. Never would Murphy Square been able to foster such a beautiful idea of a temporary website that will never be accessable to our children or the future in general. While MSq wasted its time trying to make an important contribution to Augs- burg as an institution, The Flyer is more concentrated on Facebook promotion. I hear they’ve gotten thirty-five thousand hits on their website so far. Website hits are where the future of literature lies. If Murphy Square wants to get its funding back (and its good reputation with former fans who are now faithful Flyer followers) it should concentrate more of its effort and budget on those web hits. I mean. why read a book when you can just google it, right? So shake in your boots. Murphy Square. and ask yourselfthis before you apply for any more funding » How many of those intemet website visitor hits did you get this year“? an unmistakable crucifying mirth in her gaze that asks the viewer, “What else are you going to do on your day off, you sad, lonely little man?!” I regret never having realized the extent to which the very idea of a Friday highlights the time in our lives spent pathetically slav- ing away. Friday, our perennial dangling carrot, leads us into the abyss week-by-week, promising (falsely) that escape lies in dis- traction. Rebecca Black is keenly aware of this at 13, and I, hav- ing never given Thursday, Bratz Dolls, or Jamba Juice any serious thought, eagerly await her next release. Show less

Show moreFriday, Ap 1, 2011 i Minneapolis, Minnesota Page , Variety Novel mash-up is book of the century KACIE Luccrmn Still NotA Hipster This past weekend I read the book of a lifetime. I hate to drill this point home but of the 20 something books I’ve reviewed for the Echo, of the hundreds of books I’ve read for fun, this book is literally the most amazing book that has ever been written. The Harry Potter Girl with the Twilight Tattoo written by J.K. Rowling, Steig Larsson. and Stephanie Meyer is a classic novel that will go down in history for its literary merit, entrancing plot line, and unforgettable char- acters. The novel opens with Sella Bawn getting a magic letter from Warthogs College in some sketchy town in England. Sella, not being especially smart, accepts the letter because it‘s the only college she can get into. As she arrives, Sella begins to experience a lot of things. Other peers at her college judge her for the heart shaped scar on her for- head. the one she gave to herself afier falling madly in love with Edwardo Cullenito. Sella however is determined to overcome the heartbreak she feels for Edwardo by using her photographic memory to solve murders and catch rapists. However, complications arise when Edwardo shows up at Wart- hogs. Sella is torn between her feelings for Edwardo and her feelings for her female professor Mucwango. Professor Mucwango is a confident determined woman who thinks she is a cat while Ed- wardo is a dark, emo high schooler who thinks he is 250 years old. As the love triangle begins to build, Sella must also deal with her dark past: a father that is a creepy old cop/mobster who is trying to kill her. a mother who keeps visit— ing her in mirrors. and old friends Battle: Los AWESOME Iosu SIBLEY Stafl Writer Battle: Los Angeles is more than just a movie: it’s an experi- ence. This isn’t just the Citizen Kane of alien invasion flicks — it's the best science fiction film of all time. Despite what the title sug- gests, this film is so much more than a battle in LA; it’s a character study of how people deal with the annexation of one of America’s gleaming cities. The film starts out in a battle over LA in which we get a sense of how spine-chilling, and ma- levolent the aliens really are as they shoot at our heroes in a helicopter. The extra terrestrials in Steven Spielberg’s film used lasers to incinerate people and then harvested their blood and used it to change the Earth. That was all too far-fetched and “out there” in Battle: LA — the space men use machine guns. Machine guns surgically attached to them. It’s a moment of genius from the film’s writers. By giving them a weapon that we have, there is no way we could stop them. The film‘s greatest strength is the writing. Our heroes are all marines and thefilm avoids cliches and gives us Christopher Nolan levels ofexposition. Each charac- ter is so well drawn out and written that you feel like they could be a real person. Like Aaron Eckhart's character Captain...well his name eludes me right now, but we feel for him and his goals that he can't achieve because of the invasion. They story is not predictable in the least bit. It surprised me when they defeated one of the mother ships with a single mis- sile and disabled all of the flying drones. You would think that it would take a nuclear bomb or something to destroy the spaceship of that size, but that’s the genius of the writing keeping us on our toes. The cinematography is so glamorous and bewildering that it brings tears to my eyes just reflect- ing upon the sheer magnificence of the actions sequences. The open- ing battle sequence in Saving Pri— vate Ryan looks like child‘s play compared to any battle in Battle: LA. The camera shakes so much it gives us the sense that we are who try and convince her that she can use a piece of wood to make books float (wingardium leviosalt. Love, drama, and magic all culminate in this timeless classic you won‘t be able to put down. 1 know 1 could barely follow the plot. none the less drop the book!

Betsy Collins, EAITLEiUSANtELEs in the war with the otherworldly- machine-gun-wielding-beings. The editing really nails the pace of what an actual crusade against aliens would be like: total chaos. While most people would experi- ence epileptic seizures due to the fast cuts and vertiginous camera, the cinephiles will ardor the real- ness the battles have. You can’t enjoy Battle: LA like you would any normal piece of cinema —— you have to live it. Visually it‘s the decade's best film and on a the large scale ofcinema history it will be revered as a clas» sic and will take it‘s place among The Wizard of Oz. Casablanca, The Godfather and Star Wars. This is not a movie that will be forgotten easily. It shakes you to your core and reminds you of what it feels like to be human. Usually I would give a star rating but stars are not worthy enough to rate Battle: LA. It is above the stars. Bro in quad learns chords to Jason Mraz classic, female students adore in droves DAVE Manson Asshole A totally chill sound emanated from steps of Christensen Center last Thursday as senior student Aren Olson reportedly learned the chord progressions for the 2001 hit, “Body is a Wonderland“ by famed singer John Mayer. As Olson jammed out the simple. sen- sual melody, a few pre-tanned girls sporting Ugg boots, jeggings, and fluorescent headbands reported: “Omigod, 1 love that song!" Olson chose the song upon successfully learning the 2005 Jack Johnson song, “Better Together" and—according to sources—he needed another slow. acoustic ballad in order to seduce drunken sophomores at the various parties in Anderson. Olson appropriated the commercially successful song in his signature style of working in certain women‘s names as they passed by him. The latest ad-lib: “One mile to every inch of/your skin like porcelain/one pair of candy lips and/your bubblegum tongue, Molly Dunne." ‘ The public response has been mixed since Olson debuted his hit cover of the Mayer tune. While many female students have adored hearing the familiar, “really cute" song on their way to the gym, a few renegade Music majors have scoffed at his attempts to give new life to the Grammy-winning single. “I remember when music used to have integrity,“ senior Fred Tor- vik said as he passed by Olson’s virtual mating call of a perfor- mance. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go listen to more Animal Collective.“ Torvik was later seen wildly air-drumming to the neo- psychedelic, nonsensical tracks of Mem'weather Post Pavilion. Other art students have reject- ed the student musician’s attempt to woo his female counterparts. “That guy is a creep,“ reported senior Natalya Flaten. “He once told me that he wanted to ‘swim in a deep sea ofblankets‘ with me. I think I threw up in my mouth a little." Even Prof. Bob Cowgill joined the hate as he flicked a half-smoked cigarette at Olson as the guitar~strumming bro finished the third verse. “Honestly, I don’t give a shit about that song he‘s singing.“ Cowgill said. “1 just needed to get back at him for stealing the spotlight from me: where else am 1 going to receive fruitful glances from young. art-obsessed college girls?“ However, as evidenced by the sheer amount of delighted. audible gasps from the women ofAugsburg, Olson‘s song hasn‘t gone without his praise. Junior Daley Konchar Farr re- ported. “Even though Aren doesn‘t appeal to my rich appreciation for new-wave, post-punk instrumenta- tion. there’s something about his raspy voice. his piercing gaze . . . it‘s delicious.“ Junior Lily Morris couldn‘t help but to lay on a patch of grass near Olson as he slid into Mayer‘s refrain. ln hopes of making eye contact with Olson. Morris bobbed her head in time with each “Ba ba dup ba da da da“ the dreamy senior cranked out. The efforts of Morris were ultimately crushed as Lindsey Graffdeclared Olson hers by throwing an ample amount of elbows at whoever made eyes at the young singer—songplayer. “Get back. you harlots," Gratf screamed as she brandished a broken hockey stick at the nearby women ofAugsburg. “This man is mine!“ Olson declined to comment. but when asked about where he sees his musical career going in the future. he simply smirked and re- peatedly slid his right index finger in and out ofhis loosely clenched lefl fist.
