April Fool’s, students, staff, and faculty of CSS, Got you good. (Okay, probably not). Stockfest 7 is still planned and will be covered extensively in this publication next week, including an interview with one of the performers. The Cable returns after a month-long hiatus based on several factors, including but not limited to that wonderful week known as Spring Break. Hope everyone enjoyed their time off. I’m sure the staff has. Anyone interested in working on this year’s Fable should come to an informational meeting on April 12. It’s our annual (serious) Onion-style “joke” issue. And this year, we plan to go out with a bang. That’s all for now. Hopefully, when you picked up the paper to hear about Stockfest, you didn’t immediately throw it away upon finding out you were fooled.

Until next time,

Dust off your Nerf blaster and ball up a few sweat socks. These are your only means of fending off the zombies that will infiltrate the St. Scholastica campus from April 27th – May 1st. “Humans vs. Zombies”, which can be simply described as a large scale game of tag, began at Goucher College in 2005 and has since spurred thousands of versions across hundreds of college campuses all over the world. In the game, Humans stay safe by “stunning” potential Zombie attackers with socks and foam Nerf darts. Zombies achieve their objective by tagging Humans and transforming them into Zombies. The game is ongoing, so any time Humans step outside through the duration of the game they are susceptible to Zombie subterfuge. The game rages on until no Humans remain or until a preset time limit is reached. But for anyone who thinks they can simply wait out the zombie apocalypse by hiding in a locked dorm room, think again. Throughout the contest there will be required “missions” for the human players. The Humans will try to accomplish these missions while the zombies continually attempt to foil their plans. There is a wide range of challenging missions. Some are basic “search and finds” while others are more involved, like building a stronghold and defending it. “Humans vs. Zombies” at CSS is bound to be a monumental event. Registration will remain open until April 13th. If you’d like to know more about “Humans vs. Zombies”, please stop by T17B or keep your eyes open for addi-tion info sessions.

Have you ever wondered how a baby can be so strong when they are so little? I have often found my-self thinking in amazement how babies are so small yet grow into someone so large in only a matter of years. God also seems fond of those who are small yet very strong. When looking at the people that God uses to do his work here on earth it is never the biggest or the strongest, but rather those who will allow God to work through them. Jesus reflects this in his parable of the mustard seed. Found in Mark 4:30-32 it reads like this “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest seed you plant in the ground. Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds of the air can perch in its shade.” Every day we have the opportunity to share the king-dom of God with the world through our actions. It may be as simple as holding the door for someone in need or taking time to sit and listen to someone talk about life.

These actions may seem small but when planted and al-lowed to grow they could grow into something much greater. It is often the small things in life that make the greatest different in someone’s day. Jesus also compares the mustard seed to an individ-ual’s faith in Matthew 17:20 “He replied, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this moun-tain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Noth-ing will be impossible for you” You may be at a point in your life where you feel that your faith is very small and not worth anything to God. Trust that no matter how small your faith may seem it is very strong in Gods eyes!

How long have you been working at CSS? I have been working at CSS for two years and six months.

What is your job title and duties? Where would a student find you? I am the Associate Director of Alumni Relations. My job is to keep alumni con-nected to the college through emails, newsletters, and the website. I also help with event planning such as Reunion and Homecoming.

What do you enjoy about your job? I enjoy working with students and alumni. My favorite part of my job though, is hearing about differences in experiences for former students, but also how alumni’s education has stayed the same in important ways. For example, many students re-member the Benedictine values and sense of community at CSS. Some of the older alumni I have talked to recall when CSS was an all girl’s school. They remember living with the sisters in Tower Hall. If a girl had a date, their date would have to walk up the flights of stairs to Tower. The men could not go past the foyer.

What are your hobbies/interests? I love learning, so I enjoy reading a lot. I also like watching movies and love listening to music. My favorite genre of music is Indie Rock and my favorite band is Tegan and Sara. The newest band I started listening to is Dessa.

Did you attend college? If so, where and what was your major? I attended St. Scholastica. I graduated in 2003 with a degree in Elementary Edu-cation.

What is your best memory from college? My best memory was a winter weekend on campus. There had been a huge snow-storm, probably about a foot of snow, and we received an email about moving our cars. If we did not move them, they would have been towed. Everyone who lived in

Somers went outside and helped each other shovel out their vehicles. That was the moment I felt the greatest sense of community at CSS.

How is CSS different from other schools? It comes down to the Benedictine values and sense of community. Someone I once talked to likened it to a Disney movie, everyone is smiling and saying hello in the hallways.

What changes or improvements have you seen over the years/since you have been here? I have noticed how much the campus has grown since I was a student. The num-ber of the freshman classes has been increasing. I think it is great that many people want to attend CSS. CSS has a good reputation and provides a quality education.

What is one thing each student should do before leaving CSS? I believe each student should get involved. This could be participating on a tradi-tion on campus such as Oozeball, the Reif Run, or joining a club. If I had to narrow it down to one thing, it would be Homecoming.

What activities, lectures, or sporting events do you enjoy attending on campus? I enjoy attending the theater, lectures with guest speakers about topics I find in-teresting, and occasionally I will attend musical events sponsored by CAB.

What do you like about Duluth? Do you have any recommendations for students? Duluth is the perfect combination of outdoor space and amenities. Every stu-dent should swim in Lake Superior at least once. I recommend doing that first thing in the fall.

Excerpts from CSS publications are provided below to serve as reminders of the passage of time in an ever changing world.

Publication: The ScriptoriumDate: March 22, 1939

March is here. It came in like a lion. Spring is just around the cor-ner (a bit far-fetched for Duluth, but you can look forward to it anyway) and spring makes one think of one of two things, maybe

both, clothes or love. Everyone has definite ideas about clothes, crazy hats and stuff, so let’s not go into that. Of course most people have very definite ideas about love too, so let’s just skip the two things spring reminds us most of and talk about the lesser important things. Won’t it be grand

to see the blue waters of Lake Superior again and wide blue skies and honest-to-goodness green grass?

Publication: The ScriptoriumDate: March 24, 1964

The sweet smell of the poison ivy bed you are lying in, the gentle caress of the wood-ticks as they bore down into your bloodstream, the enchanting odor of the skunk as he winds his way through the succulent tangled vines and thorns, the exhilaration felt when the sleet drives you indoors are all included in the JOYS OF SPRING.

Publication: The Cable Date: December 7, 1990

I have this friend named ‘Jean’ and she’s organized. Not that organization is a terrible thing, but for those of us who thrive on procrastination and mass hysteria, organized people are kind of like pimples. They always make you look bad and eventually you feel like squeezing the crap out of them… But earlier this week—On December 1st to be exact—Jeannie, goddess of efficiency and timeliness, blessed my mailbox with a Christmas card. A Christmas card on December 1st...There I was, still eating left-over turkey-foo-young-a-la-mode from Thanksgiving and reading a Christmas card. ‘Big deal,’ you may say; but it is a big deal because Jeannie knows darn well that she’ll get my

Christmas card sometime around the spring equinox.

Photographs leaked last Sunday are evidence of two US army soldiers who are accused of killing Afghans for sport posing next to a dead victim. Jeremy Morock and Andrew Holmes are the two US soldiers in the picture, shown holding up the head of a man identifies as Gul Mudin, an unarmed Afghan they are accused on killing on January 15, 2010. These photos are said to be one in a few seized by Army investigators who are looking into the deaths of three unarmed Afghans. One of the soldiers in the photo, Jeremy Morlock, is being martialed to court due to involvement in a 12-man “kill team” who murder innocent civilians. He faces charges of premeditated murder, as well as one of assault and charges of conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to assault. He is also ac-cused of trying to block an investigation, using a controlled drug and of “wrongfully photographing and possessing visual images of human casualties”. The case has drawn intense scrutiny (though not as much as previous leaks of US soldiers using dehumanizing tactics) because Morlock, as well as 11 other soldiers, are being accused of taking ghoulish and disgusting photos of corpses and taking body parts as war trophies. Morlock has pleaded guilty to three charges of murder. Der Spiegel (a German whistle-blower) uncovered around 4,000 photos and videos taken by the so-called kill squad. The images released on Sunday were covered by a judicial order from a military court prohibiting their dissemination, and it was unclear how the magazine obtained them.

Until recent times, heated abodes for chickens didn’t exist in the wintertime. As a result, no chicks could be raised until spring. In New England, those spry, plump chicks that did hatch in the spring brought higher prices than the previous year’s chickens during the summertime sales. The occasional seller would try to pass off an older bird for a younger one, but an experienced buyer knew when an older bird was “no spring chicken.” The phrase came to be used for people as well who are

past their youthful prime. Summarized by Barbara Patten from Why You Say It by Webb

GLOBALSPOTLIGHT From July 2004 to July 2006, I worked in Taishin, Japan, a small town located in

Fukushima Prefecture, about 80 miles from the epicenter of the March 11th earthquake. Born and raised in Duluth, I had never experienced an earthquake before, but if you stay in Japan long enough it’s an inevitability. Tremors are a daily occurrence in Japan, with hundreds of earthquakes occurring in a month, but typically only a few each month are strong enough to be felt by people. Most of the monthly tremors were short, lasting only a few seconds, rattling the windows, the room gently swaying and the lights, suspended from the ceiling by rods or cords, rocking back and forth. Other tremors were more like jolts, lasting less than a second, and I’d yelp and grab my chair. My unruffled coworkers were very used to them. Building codes are strict and many bookcases and shelves in homes, offices, and stores are routinely bolted to the walls and built with guards to prevent them and their items from falling. There was a major earthquake in neighboring Niigata Prefecture three months after I arrived. I was in Tokyo at the time, more than 200 miles away, eating at restaurant in the evening, but the entire building rocked back and forth for more than a minute, much longer than usual. Before the quake had ended every person in the restaurant had gotten out their cell phone and was calling their relatives. The people I was with were from Fukushima Prefecture, and their relatives were fine. There was no damage in Fuku-shima this time. In Niigata about 40 people died, thousands were injured, and over a hun-dred thousand people were displaced from their homes. This earthquake didn’t generate a damage-causing tsunami. For many months afterwards the earthquake aftermath was featured daily in the news. There were other people in the JET program (Japan Exchange and Teaching) helping teach English in Niigata, and all we heard about their situation was “Everyone was accounted for.” Powerful earthquakes are a national tragedy that can hap-pen anywhere in Japan. It’s just a matter of when. The various schools where I helped teach English held earthquake drills. For a special earthquake preparedness day, a truck came to Junior High School. The side of the truck opened and students got inside. The floor of the truck could shake at different settings, mimicking earthquakes at different strengths. It was a chance for the student leaders to practice giving orders to get away from the windows and get under their desks. In Koriyama (one of the cities with a nuclear reactor affected by the March 11th earth-quake), about 15 miles away from Taishin, after a minor earthquake, the ceiling of a public pool collapsed. No one was inside at the time. The next month in Yabuki, a town next to Taishin, the public pool where many of my students swam was closed for several months as the ceiling underwent needed repairs. Taishin is located in a mountainous area far inland, but the majority of people in Japan live near the Pacific coastline. Minutes after a larger-sized earthquake tsunami warning are issued on television and radio with the expected height and landing area, but depending upon where you are at the time, a warning of a few minutes may be too late.

Libya Deals With International Interference

For the third night in a row, explosions fired by international coalitions have rocked the Libyan capitol of Tripoli, among other cities. Mussa Ibrahim, a government spokesman, told a news conference that coalition bombard-ment had killed civilians in port areas and at Sirte airport, and bombarded the southern town of Sebha, a bastion of Gaddafi’s Guededfa tribe. The air strike was in response to violence between forces loyal to Gaddafi and other Libyan citizens, and on the first night alone killed 60 and injured 140. Sources in Libya say that much of the bombings have targeted mili-tary facilities and personnel, although many civilian casualties are unofficially reported. The UN has recently established a “no-fly zone” with the intent of protecting the Libyan people from the excessive force of Gaddafi’s supporters, they will continue to carry out military strikes and other military action short of occupation. This begs the question of true intent. The overzealousness of Western forces (such as Britain, the US, and France) to interpret the resolu-tion as an open-ended use of force is worrisome to say the least. Consider-ing Western powers’ long history of interference in the region with the use of force, their political and strategic intentions remain questionable for now. Their rush to use air force also could prove morally reprehensible - even if legally justified - if they further complicate the situation on the ground.

On Friday March 4th, a wine tasting was held in Somers Main Lounge. Students of age were invited as well as faculty and staff. The event was semi-formal and in-tended to be a networking occasion. Caitlin DePree, a RA in Scanlon, organized the event with help from Residential Life. She wanted to provide a wing activity for students who do not typically attend wing activities. Cailtin also hoped the event would “allow residents to experience and enjoy alcohol in a safe, respectful, and fun way.” Fitger’s Wine Cellars provided seven different types of wine for those who at-tended to sample. Students enjoyed the opportunity to test and learn about different wines without having to buy a whole bottle. Junior Kari Johnson thought there “was a nice selection, with many varieties from around the world. There was a nice bal-ance between reds and whites.”

Upon arriving, students could enter a drawing to win tickets to the play Hamlet. Two winners could bring five friends and ride in a limo to the historic Scottish Rite Auditorium on West Second Street. Nine students from St. Scholastica arrived in the most stylish ride of the night and were amazed by the architecture of the building. This prize was special because the night marked the opening of Hamlet, put on by Wise Fool Shakespeare. One of the lucky attendees, Julia Curry, said she thought “the most compelling parts of the play took place in Act 5 when Laertes [Scholastica’s own Luke Moravec] returned to the stage [Denmark] to duel against Hamlet in an exciting sword fight and the blood-bath from then on begins.” The wine tasting had a good turnout overall and everyone who attended spoke positively of the event. Caitlin is optimistic that this event will grow in the years to come and become an annual tradition at CSS.

Social networking has become central to the existence of college students ev-erywhere. Students now spend hours on Facebook to catch up with friends and the latest gossip. But Facebook has a purpose greater than finding out the newest rela-tionship status; it is becoming a place to make connections and help (or hurt) your career. Maintaining a good online reputation has never been more critical. In this age of technology a lot of work takes place online, even in our social networking sites. Unfortunately, many students, and people in general, forget that blogs, Fa-cebook, and Twitter are usually monitored closely by employers. Everything put up on the internet follows you so it’s important to follow some guidelines when it comes to managing your social networks. Always remember to be selective in the friends you choose to be in contact with over the internet. It’s important to only be friends with people who will speak highly of you at all times. You want to be highly recommended by other people not cut down. Also remember to be a good friend. The best way to create a loyal “brand identity” is by not cutting down colleagues and friends. Post subjects of interest that show you are alert with current important topics. No matter what social networking site you use always remember to be polite. Anything you say can be reviewed and it’s always better to be safe than sorry. If you make negative comments about an employer, a fellow employee, or even a job interview, you are running the risk of ruining relationships you have built. A good rule of thumb to follow is, “If your mom would be embarrassed of you, don’t pub-lish it!” (E Chandlee Bryon, Quint Careers). As you make sure not to post negative comments, be sure to publish positive thoughts. Let future companies know about your interests in them and what you stand for. It is as essential to publish good things about yourself as it is to avoid the inappropriate things! Social networking is a part of life today. It can allow future employers an im-portant glimpse into your private affairs. By staying professional in your online accounts you will ensure future employers of your credibility and self-worth. The best advice one can give is to remember that whatever you say or whatever picture you put up it will follow you. So always portray yourself in the best light possible!
