Your Fall ASA Election GuideBy MATTHIEU MARTIN &

CAMERON RAYNOROn Monday, September 15th, stu-

dents running in the fall ASA midterm elections had the chance to present their platforms before the student body and an-swer questions from students in the lead up to voting this week. � is election will decide who will � ll the empty positions of second year representative, fourth year representative, two o� campus represen-tatives, and aboriginal student represen-tative; and elect the two incoming � rst year representatives. � ere are no candi-

dates for the o� campus rep positions so those positions will go un� lled this year.

First Year RepresentativesRunning for � rst year rep are

Alom Deng, Shrinkhla Kapoor, Madison Kirk, and Sam Kohlmann.

Alom Deng would like to see a text-book rental program o� ered by the library to lower the cost of textbooks, more stu-dent events such as sports night or kara-oke night, and new transportation such as shuttle busses for students without cars. During Q&A when asked about the fea-

sibility of new transportation, Alom sug-gested the ASA partners with athletics to use athletics’ buses as shuttles for students.

Shrinkhla Kapoor’s platform high-lights transportation as an important issue and would also like to create a suggestion box where students can make anonymous suggestions and tips. During Q&A Shrinkh-la said transportation could be solved by ei-ther university run shuttles or car pooling.

EDITOR It’s the 3rd week

of school and most

of us are settling back

into life as university

students. When sitting in class however,

it is sometimes hard not to ask the ques-

tion: why are we even here to begin with?

On paper, it’s a rather simple. Com-

pared to those with no postsecondary

education, college and university grads

make on average 8% more per year spent

in postsecondary school or about 1 mil-

lion dollars more over their lifetime � e

bigger mystery is why do they make more

and where does this value come from?

Does the value come from the time

spent in class? � at’s hard to say. � ere

are certainly some excellent classes o� ered

here that force students to think critically

and expand their understanding; howev-

er, when I’m sitting in a lecture watching

my professor literally read the textbook

o� a screen to the class for over an hour,

I’m less convinced. If the value of a uni-

versity education comes from the class-

room, it most likely isn’t from the facts

and � gures memorized, which studies

con� rm we forget shortly a� er the � nal.

� ere are other theories of course:

Maybe it’s the friends you make in school,

the chance to make important connec-

tions, networking so to speak. Maybe it’s

the opportunities outside of the class-

room you wouldn’t have been exposed to

had you not come to a place where there

are so many di� erent opportunities to get

involved; It could be the chance to or get

experience you might not get a chance at

otherwise. Maybe it’s just the degree it-

self which signals to potential employers

that university grads are more ambitious

than their peers who chose not to pursue

higher levels of education. Could it re-

ally be something so simple and trivial?

For better or for worse, I think

the most likely answer is a combina-

tion of all of the above. � ere have been

great courses that have made me see

the world di� erently; I’ve made friends

I wouldn’t trade for anything; I’ve been

given some opportunities I wouldn’t � nd

anywhere else; and, in a couple years,

hopefully, I’ll have a degree to go with it.

Regardless, we don’t have to be satis-

� ed with the status quo. It isn’t ok when a

professor reads straight from the textbook;

we deserve more than that. We’re here to

learn something a� er all, something that

is supposed to challenge us and allow us

to grow; a degree has to represent some-

thing real when we leave. When a class

is a “joke,” everyone is getting ripped o� :

students aren’t learning, students in other

classes can’t compete with the easy marks,

and our degrees lose value as employers

realize graduates haven’t learned anything.

In your time at Augustana you have

the chance to gain so much outside of class.

� inking about what you’re actually here

for is an important way to make sure you’re

not missing out. Getting involved in a proj-

ect, team, club, you name it, has all sorts of

bene� ts you won’t pick up in a classroom.

In this issue you’ll � nd lots of examples

of how students are taking their experience

at Augustana to the next level. We have

advice on getting involved around campus,

a story from an Augustana alumnus who

has by all accounts sized many opportu-

nities, and stories of student run events.

And of course there’s always the events

calendar to check for upcoming events.

Why Are We Here, Anyways?

Improv at the Bailey ReturnsBy CAMERON RAYNOR

Improv theatre returns to the Bailey for

another year this � ursday. Each � ursday

throughout the school year, students and

alumni of AUDRA 244 -, Improvisation II,

will be showcasing their talents on stage.

� ere is a small cover charge of 2 dollars

and the Bailey will be selling drinks and

snacks at their bar during the performance.

Audiences can expect the unexpected.

� e spontaneous nature of improv leads

to exciting, o� en hilarious, and engaging

performances. � roughout the night the

audience has the chance to interact with

the actors, lending their ideas and inputs

into the various games played out on stage.

� e shows are the product of Augusta-na drama prof Paul “Sparky” Johnson. � e performances are designed to give students the chance to practice their skills from class in front of a live audience, following the philosophy of drama teaching progression of Paul Sills, Sparky’s mentor and friend. Paul Sills founded the world renowned Second City improvisational theater troupe, which taught the likes of Stephen Colbert, Chris Farley, and Mike Myers.

Students who’d like to get involved are encouraged to enroll in the win-ter term o� ering of AUDRA 244 – Im-provisation II: Workshop and Perfor-mance, or its prerequisite AUDRA 144 – Improvisation: Introduction.

Members of Gnome Ocean Improv act out a scene at a summer performance at the Rusty Spur. � e group will join other students and alumni each � ursday this term to perform at the Bailey � eatre. From le� to right: Maddy Goodman, Ally Larson, Philip Hackborn, and Bian Hagar.

Fall ASA Election

the ASA and approachability. She said

she would like to meet people and hear

their feedback and what they want to see.

Sam Kohlmann’s platform empha-

sised more events on campus, championing

� rst year interests such as better wireless in

residence, and creating a new food source

on campus to help address lines in the caf-

eteria as well as provide late night food op-

tions. When asked about how he would be

able to open a new food source he said he

would help with existing e� orts to reopen

the grill, which used to operate on campus.

Second Year Representative

Running for second year rep are Andrew

Newman and Zarmina Shir Mohammed.

Andrew Newman is running on a plat-

form of more activities such as casino night,

improving mental health supports during

exam periods, providing fruit and snacks

in the forum, and being approachable to his

constituents. During Q&A, Andrew was

asked how he would improve involvement

of o� campus students. He replied by say-

ing he would use social media and adver-

tisements in the classroom building to bet-

ter communicate with o� campus students.

Zarmina Shir Mohammed is run-

ning on a platform which emphasises

student engagement, community, and

communication. She wants to foster bet-

ter communication between students and

the ASA, and encourage student engage-

ment. Zarmina wants to hear from stu-

dents so she can address their concerns.

Fourth Year Representative

Stephanie Gruhlke is the only can-

didate for fourth year rep. Her platform

consisted of three main points: to � nd

representation for 5th year students since

there is no 5th year representation on the

ASA, to create more activities for upper

year students, and to expand the academic

mentorship program in which upper year

students mentor lower year students within

their department. In Q&A, Stephanie was

asked what kinds of activities she was pro-

posing. Stephanie said she would consult

senior students and plan smaller events

in the forum, such as co� ee houses, where

students can drop in for a short amount of

time, without a large time commitment.

Aboriginal Student Representative

Alyssa Belanger is the only candidate

running for the position of aboriginal stu-

dent rep. Her platform is based on bridging

the gap between cultures though strong com-

munication and by removing stereotypes.

Voting will be held � ursday September

18th and Friday September 19th from 9:00

AM to 5:00 PM. All students are encouraged

to vote for their student representatives.

Vikings Home Games

Vikings Hockey Defeats North Campus Golden BearsBy JADENE MAH

� e University of Alberta – Augustana Vikings were looking to evaluate this year’s hockey squad and there was no team better to do that against, than the University of Al-berta Golden Bears who are the defending CIS Men’s National Hockey Champions.

From the � rst shi� the Bears swarmed the Vikings net, but goaltender Andy Wil-liams made a number of great saves to weather the storm. � e Vikings defence were able to clear away any rebounds which helped keep the game scoreless. � e Vikings would open the scoring late in the � rst on a goal from 2nd year Viking, Kon-rad Litk,e and despite being outshot 14-5 took that 1-0 lead into the second period.

Goals from Je� Lorenz and Kon-rad Litke (with his second goal) gave the Vikes a 3-0 lead with both goals scored in a span of just 31 seconds. Williams contin-ued his dazzling play and was particularly

sharp during a four-minute Golden Bears power play. Williams was replaced half way through the second period by 4th year Goalie Joel Danyuk, having made 30 saves.

� e third period saw the Bears con-tinue their relentless attack, but couldn’t score as Danyluk continued to hold the fort. � e Vikings salted the game away with Je� Lorenz scoring his second goal, former Golden Bear, Alex Rodgers, add-ing one short-handed, and Devon Hobbs on the power play made it a 6-0 � nal. Shots on goal favoured the Golden Bears 47-17.

Overall, the Bears gave the Vikings a tough challenge, but outstanding goalten-ding and timely scoring proved to be all the di� erence. First year players Connor McLaughlin, Beau Taylor and Scott Swis-ton were impressive in their inaugural game with the Vikes and will be exciting to watch in the upcoming regular season.

Games stars were 1st star, Konrad Litke; 2nd star, Je� Lo-renz; and 3rd star, Andy Williams.

See more Vikings pre-season action at the Wetaskiwin Civic Centre on Sep-tember 12 at 7:00 vs. the Concordia � un-der. � e Vikings Hockey regular season opens at home on September 27 vs. the Red Deer College Kings at Encana Arena.

XC Running Team Opens ACAC Season in Strathcona

By CAMERON RAYNOR

Last Saturday, September 13, 2014,

the Vikings cross country running team

opened the season with a race at the Strath-

cona Wilderness center. � e race, hosted

by Concordia, drew the top college teams

from northern Alberta to compete on a 6km

men’s and 4km women’s course. � e team

raced well, putting in a strong showing to

start the season. Highlights were Hans As-

feldt winning the ACAC men’s category, in

a time of 20:58; and � rst year Emily McIl-

roy placing 4th in ACAC women’s catagory,

in a time of 16:18; it was Emily’s � rst race

with the team. Other top Vikings � nishes

on the women’s side were Brianna Shultz

in 10th and Leah Reid in 14th; and on the

men’s side Joedy Dalke in 7th and Jonathan

Fuller in 9th. � e team races again next

weekend in Fort McMurray where they will

get to race on the same course that will host

the ACAC championships later this fall.

By STEPHANIE GRUHLKEAs a student at Augustana you have

probably heard, about a million times, that the university experience is about more than just your academic life. Over the past two weeks res. life, chaplaincy and the stu-dents’ association have planned numer-ous events aimed at bringing students out of their rooms, away from their textbooks and out socializing with friends. For � rst years, the � rst week back even ended with a community service-learning project designed to show students that working within the community can help balance the hectic schedule of university academic life.

Michigan State University did a study showing that there are numer-ous bene� ts of getting involved in uni-versity outside of classes. � ese include easing the transition from high school; meeting people with similar interests to yours; feeling more connected to your university; and the fact that involved stu-dents are more likely to stay committed to their academics, � nish their program, and graduate. As a student you are pay-ing thousands of dollars a year to attend post-secondary school – shouldn’t you get the most out of your experience here?

So you know that everyone is preach-ing the bene� ts of getting involved, but the question now becomes how do you get involved? You could do what I did in my second and third year and just try to DO EVERYTHING. How-ever, I do not recommend this meth-

od; it does not work and you can eas-ily become overworked and over stressed.

What is important is that you know all the di� erent option available to you and try to experience as much as possible. By the time second semester rolls around ap-plications to be a residence assistant will be out, elections for the ASA will be in full swing, the chaplaincy will be looking for new student chaplains and it will be your chance to apply to work with some of these amazing organizations. � is be-ing said there are ways to get involved on campus without being either elected or em-ployed by these organizations. � is is how.

1. ResidencesGet involved in your residence if you

live on campus. Even if you live o� cam-pus, Reslife hosts amazing programs throughout the year, open to everyone, which aim at developing academic skills, fostering community involvement and promoting personal wellness. Addition-ally, simply getting to know your � oor or building and bonding with these amazing people can help alleviate the stress of school.

2. Augustana Students’ Association� e ASA is the representative body of

the students. If you have any issues with your experience at Augustana come talk to these folks…they meet every Wednesday night at 5:30 or go to their website to � nd your representative’s contact information. � ere is also a focus on student life with the ASA and numerous events are planned

throughout the year that everyone is en-couraged to come out and participate in. If you have any suggestions for events you can also swing by their o� ce in the base-ment of the forum and make suggestions.

3. Student ClubsIf you have a passion or a hobby and

want to share it with others, starting a club or joining an existing club is a great idea. You can literally start any club you want so long as you can get a group of at least four executives and a faculty member together. Already existing clubs range from faculty clubs to hobby clubs to social issue clubs to language clubs – really anything is possible. Clubs fair was Monday September 15 and all established clubs were out looking for new members. If you want to start a club, ap-plication packages are available at the ASA o� ce and are due at the end of September.

4. ChaplaincyChaplaincy provides a variety of

events for all students to attend as well as a community of worship for those wish-ing to participate. To get involved with Chaplaincy you can either talk directly to Pastor Craig or the wonderful student chaplains or you can keep an ear out for announcements about their events and other occasions. � roughout the year they host di� erent events such as the Tie Dying in the Quad or the camp� re in the Quad. � ey also host numerous guest speakers throughout the year and starting up again soon they will start hosting Co� eehouses, where you can enjoy a hot beverage and some local talent. Every Tuesday night Soup Supper is hosted by Chaplaincy in the Chapel where soup and bread is served for dinner. Everyone is welcome to attend.

5. AthleticsWe have some amazing athletes here at

Augustana and there is nothing quite like going to a Vikings home game. If you want a nice study break, check the Vikings sched-ules to see when they play at home then head down to the gym or the Edgeworth Centre to see our athletes play. Moreover, if you yourself want to try your hand at some rec sports come out the Campus Rec, which is designed to o� er gym time to all stu-dents. Campus Rec began September 15th with drop in volleyball. Lastly, ViksCrew is a great organization that keeps our athletic program so vibrant by score keeping, orga-nizing half time events, managing conces-sion, and so much more. If you are interest-ed in working with the group of people that make athletics games so fun to be at contact vikings@ualberta.ca for more information.

6. � e Camrose Community Finally, keep in mind that there are

many ways to get involved in the Cam-rose community at large. Volunteering your time to one of the countless worth-while organizations in Camrose can bene� t not only you but also the entire community. For more information on volunteer opportunities you can check out www.camrosefcss.ca/volunteerism, just be advised this is not a complete list and if you are interested, ask around to � nd an organization that you believe in.

Volunteering your time and attending events is a great way to get to know people on campus. By becoming involved both in the Augustana community and the Camrose community, you can greatly enhance your experience at university and make the most out of the four or � ve years you’ll spend here.

Do You Enjoy Photography? The Dagligtale would like to hear from you! We’re looking for photographers to help cover stories and events around campus. Photographers will be paid on a per photo basis. Contact asadag@ualberta.ca for more information.

Op-Ed: Scotland’s Future in Scotland’s Hands or Better Together?By IAN

ANDERSON It seems that William Wallace may have the last laugh at the English. Tomorrow, � ursday September

18th, Scots vote on whether to end Scot-land’s union with England that is over 300 years old, or maintain status quo. Up un-til recently, international news has barely touched this story because it seemed so farfetched, so much so that the British government has been quoted to have been not making plans for if the vote passes.

With days to go before the vote, sup-port for independence has increased dra-matically and Westminster (the UK gov-ernment) is now trying to sweeten the pot for Scotland to stay in the union by o� er-ing Scotland special powers if they vote no.

Honestly I would be amazed if Scotland’s parliament got any real type of extra/special powers. A� er all, what government would give up control a� er the issue was over? None. � e same sort of thing happened with Quebec and the Canadian government.

Besides, with this kneejerk reaction by Westminster, Wales and North Ireland may start demanding special powers as well. Where does this leave the United Kingdom?

One of the biggest issues of the ref-erendum is the North Sea oil � elds which are the pro-independence camp’s eco-nomic trump card. If the UK and Scot-land followed the Geneva agreement on natural resources, the “median line” prin-ciple, Scotland would receive 91% of oil tax revenues. � is is the most agreed on approach in the international community, and what I think would end up happening.

� is ties into what is arguably the

biggest point of contention in the debate, currency choice. � e “yes” camp wants to enter into a currency union with rUK (rest-UK) and continue using the pound sterling which has the bene� t of being backed by the Bank of England. Failing that, Scotland can use the pound sterling but they would not enjoy the bene� ts of the Bank of England. � is would open them to the possibility for Scotland to de-fault on any transferred debt, which would be a hilarious slap in the face to the UK.

Another hot topic is the trident nucle-ar missile submarines that are based at the Clyde Naval Base on Scotland’s west coast. A vast majority of Scottish residents want the missiles gone, but Westminster won’t re-move them because the UK doesn’t have the infrastructure required available elsewhere. � e “no” camp rebuttals this request with the fact that the area employs ~7-8000 peo-

ple because of the naval base, and removing the program would result in those jobs dis-appearing. Currently, the naval base is the planned headquarters for the Scottish mili-tary which is expected to curb job losses.

Overall the debate has heated up to the point where British Prime Min-ister David Cameron is essentially beg-ging Scotland to vote no at press confer-ences, and the referendum debate has turned into a race more exciting than the Obama vs Romney presidential election.

Personally as an outsider I love to see a yes vote, just because it would be extremely interesting to study not only the economic but political impacts of a divided Britain and weakened UK.

Where do you stand? Should Scot-land abandon the UK or stay with the status quo? and what does this mean for the UK/rUK down the road?

By LES PARSONSAs a child, I always dreamed of leading

an army, like my distant relative in Scotland, William Wallace (from the movie Bravehe-art), and, like Eric the Red from Norway. Eric is one of the most famous Vikings in history.

Besides being the father of Leif Eriks-son, Eric the Red discovered Greenland and established the � rst European settlement in the New World there. He was born in Nor-way sometime during the mid-10th century as a descendant of Viking chie� ains. He went to Iceland as a child, when his father was banished from Norway. Apparently Eric had a penchant for violence. While living in Iceland he committed murder and was banished from the country. Upset with his expulsion, he sailed westward from Iceland and discovered Greenland around 981.

VIKINGS SPIRIT! My dream has become true, as I,

Coach Les, lead our army of Augustana students & sta� & community, cheering on our Augustana Vikings Athletic Teams! We encourage you bring your friends to our games, and show your Vikings Col-lege Spirit, by cheering for our teams at our Vikings home games here at Augustana.

It is a Lot of FUN to make a fool of yourself (hmmm hmmm...like yours tru-ly) cheering like crazy with your friends! Bring along a group of your friends and Go Wild...VIKING WILD! � e best part of this deal: students attend our Vikings home games for free Wear your bright-est Red & White Colours to our games.

RUN WITH THE VIKINGS! You, and I mean any and all of YOU

Augustana students, are welcome to run with our Augustana Vikings Run-ning Club & Vikings Cross Country Running Team, and, the cost is free!

Even if you have never ran before, we encourage you to join us to learn proper

running technique, and, discover the joy of jogging & running. One hundred me-ters from Rez, is the start of a trail system over 20 kilometres of grass hiking-jog-ging-running-biking-xc skiing trails in the beautiful forest valley of Stoney Crick.

I, Coach Les, am coaching the group of students who are new to running tech-nique or beginner runners. We have FUN learning to run. It is never too late to join us to start running. You can start this week or next week, and, you can come as of-ten as you can...once or twice a week will make a Huge Di� erence in your � tness!

Our schedule can be found at: www.augustanarunning.ca. We meet on the grass in the middle of campus or in the hallway of the Sciences Building Mondays, Tuesdays and � ursdays at 4:15pm, and, Wednesdays at 5:30pm. I hope to see your smiling face!

VIKINGS FRIENDS!Vikings Friends is a Christian fellow-

ship group, providing a connection be-tween our Vikings Athletes, Chaplaincy, and the rest of our student body. I, Coach Les, help lead our group with Taylor Bulger, one of our Augustana Student Chaplains.

We meet every Monday from 8:30pm-9:30pm at the lounge outside of the Chapel. We encourage you to take an athlete “time-out” and drop by any Monday evening when you have free time...when you need a “time-out.”

We are a fun, friendly, caring group of students who want to share God’s love by helping others. Vikings Friends is open to absolutely any athletes and other students, including those with no faith or church background, who have an interest in spiritu-ality. We are not a “religious churchy group.”

We have interesting and challenging discussions about any and all issues in life; we focus on sharing experiences and caring for others; we do some singing with guitars; we bring in guest speakers; we have FUN!

By HOLLY YURKOSKI

So whoever decided to park in the back

parking stall with the rock in it should move

because that’s my spot. Oh wait actually

that’s not. None of those spots are mine nor

are they yours. But they might be! Yes in fact

if you work real hard, stake out the parking

lot at night and plan accordingly, YOU may

get that delicious stall with the rock in it.

Or you could just park illegally and cause

a ripple of anger to all those around you.

Yes, parking this year is pretty chaotic

for students due to the sheer amount of us

this year. So to get the facts all factual I met

up with the lovely Jo-Anne Wohlgemuth,

the woman behind the madness and hid-

den sanity that is parking at Augustana.

Residence Parking

Why are there so

many � rst years, am I right?

“It does take time for students to � g-

ure things out.” Jo-Anna commented,

highlighting that we will adjust to being

in a new place in over time. � is could

be anything as simple as � nding C167

to something as soul crushingly hard

as � nding a parking stall for your car.

Rest assured students, what may

seem hopeless, nigh impossible, is actu-

ally pretty simple. “We have not oversold

[Ravine parking].” Jo-Anne reassured me,

meaning that all your metal death traps

can chum with each other as the snow falls.

� e current problem of the over-

� owing and illusion of oversell is twofold.

One, o� -campus students, who have

been advised to avoid the Ravine parking,

are planting their vehicles there. Now don’t

get mad at them just yet, they’re just bid-

ing their time to take over the new parking

lot; it will even be paved, the lucky ducks!

However, because of this they are kind of at

a loss as to where to park for the time being.

Two, the good old domino e� ect is cre-

ating even more problems. In other words,

someone parks horribly, and we park be-

side them, creating a chain of disaster. And

then when that � rst person leaves, sud-

denly the next person is the enemy! Not

fair guys, all is equal in love and parking.

� e only reason Jo-Anne and the

board cannot guarantee us a spot, is be-

cause people park in such these domino-

causing ways. � erefore Jo-Anne, and my-

self, beg you to park like reasonable people.

In the event that parking in Ra-

vine becomes full (all permits sold),

Jo-Anne will give the unlucky stu-

dents permits that allow them to park

elsewhere (in o� -campus parking).

O� -Campus Parking

Fear not o� -campus students,

your parking lot, gi� ed by the paving lord,

is on the way. It should be done by mid-

October but let’s just say early-November

and be surprised when it’s done ‘early’

because weather makes it hard to pave.

“O� -campus students, employees, and

visitors are never here at the same time.”

Jo-Anne points out, explaining why o� -

campus shares parking with other groups.

� e new parking lot is meant to handle dy-

namic parking and tra� c � ow, with people

coming and going at all times of the day.

In the event that you are unlucky and

can’t � nd a spot, I encourage you not to

park in Ravine. � at’s the only place resi-

dent students have to park and there are

a lot of us. Instead, turn your sights to ar-

eas around the school. Jo-Anne suggests,

“Along the soccer � eld… 48th street” but

these sports are, “not for anybody who is

just parking and leaving their vehicle to stay

put.” Got to respect our neighbours a� er all!

In Conclusion

Ravine = Resident Students.

Everywhere else = O� -Campus stu-

dents. Park where you’re allowed and

park wisely and we’ll all get through this.

Can’t Find Parking? What You Need To Know

“We have not oversold”

It only takes one or two bad parking jobs and there aren’t enough spots le� for everyone else.
