JENNIFER ROZEMACO-EDITOR IN CHIEF

Attention everyone who has an interest in writing stories, or even just reading them! We are in need of your help! As always, your Dagligtale

editors are working hard to make the paper grow, and we are trying new things for your reading pleasure to accomplish just that.

One such idea in the works is to pub-lish a continuing story. Do you remember that game from Jr. High where the whole class created a story together? It starts with one person making up the first sen-tence, and from there each person adds another sentence to the story. Some peo-ple would throw in a sappy love scene, then the next guy would throw in a cliff hanger, just because he had that power.

This idea is similar. What we are proposing is to have a continuing sto-ry that would be printed in each issue of the paper. Each issue the student body would determine how the story contin-ues forward. Story ideas that you sub-mit to us will shape how the story pro-gresses - what twists and turns it takes… (And for the gentlemen out there who hate Rom. Coms) who dies an epic death.

This is the call for story ideas! Let us know what you would like to see, your plot ideas, what types of characters you’d

want to see, if there should be mythical creatures, or just a world that has gone to hell. You, as a member of the Augus-tana community, can shape what kind of story comes out as the final draft!

There are a great many of you walk-ing around on campus with great ideas hidden away inside of you. This is your chance to make your voice heard in a uniquely creative way. You don’t need to be the next J.R.R Tolkien or Stephen King, or even A. A. Milne. We would ask for your participation and enthusiasm as we see where this story goes based on your involvement. I challenge you to take a chance and run with us on this adventure.

If you have a story idea or would like to contribute, please email us at [email protected] or talk to me, Jenn (you can find me around campus, with Hutch in the library or in the Dagligtale office).

CAMERON RAYNOR EDITOR IN CHIEF

We’ve all heard it a million times, ‘Augus-tana is the best of both worlds’ – a top 5 Ca-nadian university on a small close-knit campus.

Not everyone you talk to is convinced of course. There are certainly students who simply use Augustana as a stepping stone on their way to Edmonton, and the small campus is less thrilling when the course you need to take is only offered every other year. The thing is, Augustana isn’t just the best of both worlds – in many ways it’s better. Here are 5 reasons why:1. We actually know our professors.

Sure, North Campus students have the opportunity to learn from superstar profs with amazing research projects, but I doubt much of that stardom is going to rub off when you’re sitting in the back of a 300+ student lecture or doing your lab with a TA. Here we have the chance to work direct-ly with professors and get to know them. Mind you, you probably aren’t benefiting much if you sit in the back of the class every day and do your best to evolve into a ghost, but the opportunity is there for the taking. Not to mention students have the chance to work with profs directly through directed readings – an opportunity most students elsewhere won’t have until grad school.

2. Everywhere you need to go is close by. Want to walk from residence to the

library on North Campus? That’ll be over a kilometer. To put that into perspective, you could have walked from Ravine to the library 6 times in that distance – or walked all the way to the Co-op Grocery Store.

3. We actually know each other. I recently spent a weekend with a

group of students from North Campus and the one thing they couldn’t believe was that people at Augustana generally know each other as well as what goes on around campus. The close-knit community at Au-gustana allows campus gossip to spread like wildfire, makes it impossible to avoid ‘awkward’ encounters, and largely justi-fies the Dagligtale’s existence. This is the same sense of community that generates the highest voter turnout of any faculty in student union elections, makes bumping into a friend on your way to class an actual possibility, and allows us to throw bashes impressive enough that North Campus stu-

dents actually travel to Camrose to join in.4. It’s easy to get involved.

So much of university is about the experience you gain outside of that class-room. On a smaller campus, it’s easier to get involved in meaningful ways: Forming a club through the ASA is way easier than forming a student group through SU, and there are far fewer candidates for leadership positions making it easier than anywhere to try something new or get a bit out of your comfort zone. It’s these types of opportuni-ties that really allow you to learn what you enjoy and start building the skills and con-nections you’ll want when you graduate.5. People actually care about you.

This one’s hard to believe sometimes, but you’re much less of a number at Augus-tana than elsewhere. There’s an entire team of people worrying about students who are showing signs of trouble and in need of help. There are a number of support ser-vices available for anything from finding a fun recreational activity to counselling for mental health support. At a faculty level, student retention is a big deal for a small campus and Augustana really does want you to succeed and finish your degree here.

Most of these advantages require some initiative to take advantage of them (proximity to everything on cam-pus being a notable exception). Augus-tana can offer a far richer educational experience – it just takes a little effort.

By EMILY MCILROYOn July 1, David Turpin began his

term as the 13th President of the Univer-sity of Alberta. Turpin has been watching the progress of the University of Alberta for years now and has been in close contact with the past four presidents: Indira Sama-rasekera, Roderik Fraser, W. John McDon-ald, and Paul Davenport. Turpin considers all of these leaders to be great friends and looks forward to carrying on their legacies.

Before coming to the University of Alberta, Turpin spent thirteen years as President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Victoria, five years as Vice Principal Academic at Queens Univer-sity and many more years as Dean, Pro-fessor, Associate Professor and Research Associate. These experiences have given Turpin knowledge of how institutions work, which will allow him to formulate suggestions. Turpin can pinpoint the Uni-versity of Alberta’s strong points, which he will be celebrating and supporting. His top two priorities as president are to get to know the university and its many cam-puses and to begin institutional planning.

Turpin believes the University of Al-berta has a great foundation as a world-re-nowned institution and hopes to build upon past accomplishments. He values the outstanding quality of the programs and the richness of the multi-campus na-ture. With a constantly changing world, Turpin wishes to incorporate the advance-ments in technologies in and outside the classroom. He looks forward to reaching out to the local communities of the uni-versity’s campuses and also to building a strong community within the university itself. A special emphasis will be put on engaging diverse communities such as the Aboriginal populace. Turpin is proud that universities have realized the importance of inclusiveness to students who may not have traditionally had access to education.

The presidential leadership position means Turpin can use his ideas to look to the future in the context of the external en-vironment. Under his leadership, Turpin hopes that all University of Alberta students acquire the ability to learn and develop good judgement from their education. Whether it’s the ability to observe and hypothesize, gaining historical knowledge, becoming philosophical in the way we think, or be-coming aware of our impacts on other peo-ple and the earth. He believes these are the underpinnings of our liberal arts education.

The experiential learning that the Uni-versity of Alberta offers is something Turpin believes is a highly beneficial aspect of edu-cation that was much less available when he was at school. Opportunities such as student internships, work placements and commu-nity work are initiatives that will continue to be emphasized under his leadership.

Watching the university grow not only in size but in stature and quality of work, Turpin was drawn to running for presi-dent. However, when he was approached to suggest nominations for the posi-tion, he did not mention his own name.

Just over a year ago, after being per-sistently contacted, Turpin visited Al-berta with his wife and decided the position of University of Alberta Pres-ident would be his next step nationally and internationally. His excitement was echoed by the community and staff and he was hired by the University of Alberta.

Turpin is thrilled to be returning to the province to make his mark. As a

child, Turpin spent time in Calgary as it was the birthplace of his mother and his grandfather was a rancher there.

Turpin has been speaking with Au-gustana Dean Allen Berger about mak-ing an appearance on our campus in the future to follow his visit this past spring. During his visit Turpin met with our faculty and some students and thor-oughly enjoyed our beautiful campus.

Turpin believes that the University’s many campuses combine to create a whole that is diverse and beneficial to society. The students at St. Jean make the Univer-sity open to the Francophone society and teach students in one of Canada’s two of-ficial languages. North Campus offers stu-dents access to urban research. Augustana allows students to graduate with a liberal arts degree from a world renowned in-stitution in the beautiful Camrose area.

Furthermore, Turpin will be act-ing as a member of the Peter Lougheed Leadership Initiative Advisory Board, which supports the interconnected-ness between the University’s campus-

es. He appreciates the programs such as the Leadership College and Augustana’s Nursing program, which are great ways in which we connect the two campuses.

To new and returning students Turpin advises to get to know your professors and other students, and to engage in class and campus activities, because these years are the foundation for life and discovery.

During Turpin's years as a student – from getting his Bachelor of Science in Cell Biology to his PhD in Botany/Oceanogra-

phy at the University of British Columbia – certain things stand out more than others. The things he remembers the most are the courses in which he engaged with profes-sors and engaged in active learning, but most of all what he learnt from other stu-dents. Turpin wants to remind students to cherish the moments we spend with friends, whether it’s over coffee or arguing over subjects in class. He believes that is where we will learn the most and build life-long friendships with diverse groups of people.

By ALLISON IKENOUYEFrom the viewpoint of students, sab-

baticals are times in which their valued professors disappear from campus. Stu-dents scoff at the inconvenience of their absence. Students may view a sabbatical as a getaway synonoumous to the word ‘va-cation’ or ‘holiday’. Students may also as-sume that a sabbatical exists solely to quiet the minds of professors and allow them to flee from the responsibilities of academia.

To Dr. Ingrid Urberg, professor of Scan-dinavian studies returning from a sabbati-cal in the 2014-2015 academic year, sabbat-icals are quite the contrary to our presumed assumption. Professors must first apply for a sabbatical and outline a plan for their time away and have it approved. During a sabbatical, professors remain dedicated to

their profession, but are given the opportu-nity to explore other facets of their careers.

For Urberg, the experience was fla-vorful in its diversity and each day brought new opportunities. Not only did she con-duct extensive research in her field, she also worked on projects and travelled to Nor-way to collaborate with other professors.

In Norway, Urberg had the opportu-nity to present her research on the repre-sentations of sled dogs in northern litera-ture at an international interdisciplinary conference. Urberg also spent some time at The Norwegian School of Sport Scienc-es where she worked with an international group of graduate students. At the School of Sport Sciences, she delivered lectures and workshops to the graduate students.

Urberg wishes to “dispel the myth that a

sabbatical is a vacation.” While a sabbatical welcomes a slower pace of work, ultimately, there is still work involved. During a sabbat-ical, professors are granted the freedom to rejuvenate their personal life and approach their professional life with the graces of in-creased free time. However, a sabbatical is still centered on researching, reading and making connections with other educators.

As professors journey through their sabbaticals, they are accumulating both renewed energy and perspective to purposively return to University, rath-er than to temporarily escape from it.

Tara Milbrandt, professor of Sociology, also found reflective value in her sabbati-cal by recognizing that, “The value of tak-ing the time to mull over things that is so oriented on an ‘instant’ response is some-

thing I learned throughout my sabbatical.” As Augustana releases other profes-

sors for future sabbaticals, don’t assume that they are boarding a yacht to vacate their sorrows. Rather, assume they are ac-quiring the means to return to campus as renewed and strengthened professors.

Urberg Returns From Sabbatical in Norway

Meet the Candidates of the ASA Election

By HOLLY YURKOSKIYou sent in questions, we hunted

down answers. You’re welcome. Wel-come to the first “Ask the Dag” column.Q: Can students hang out in the Jeanne & Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Center?

A: The Lougheed Centre is a public space and the lounge is open to students during regular hours: Monday to Friday, 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. and Saturday, 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. Students should also know that there is a stu-dent discount of 10% off tickets to all shows!Q: Why doesn’t the Dag have any horoscopes?

A: Good question! There are some legal matters in writing horoscopes; we can’t just make stuff up after all. However, if there is interest from all of you readers, we’ll try to include some neat star magic!

Q: Why did O-team use the old Viking head logo even though it has been called sexist?

A: Ho-ho, a loaded question. Ac-cording to Sam Kohlmann, the ASA VP Student Life, and thus the one behind the final decision: “[The logo] pays tribute to our roots and the people who started our institution.” He would like to add, however, “because some people have seen [the sym-bol] as masculine, I have been researching ways to be inclusive.” He is open to sug-gestions on what the new logo should be.Q: Why is the Auxiliary Building so hot?

A: Well because you’re in it of course! But also because there is no AC in that

building. Chris Blades, Manager of Facil-ities and Operations, stated that there is “nothing we can do right now, the ventila-tion system is not capable of bringing AC”. So suit up for another hot year Art students!Q: Why are the bathrooms upstairs in the Classroom building so nosy?

A: “[No one] ever reported it, I’ll put a work order in,” Chris Blade’s re-sponds. (You’re welcome classroom C 114).Q: I’ve heard rumors that the new garden violates fire safety regulations, is this true? And if so, when where will it be moved?

Good news; Chris Blades answers the question: “No. [The fire depart-ment] just wants a little more room for the truck. Just an adjustment.”Q: What are the academic councillors’ favourite colours?

A: Guys they’re busy! Why are you sending me to ask such silly ques-tions? Anyways they are as follows:

Kyla Sawden, “I’m go-ing to pick green for today.”

Jayla Brewer, “I hate that question! It de-pends on what you’re talking about […] I gen-erally lean towards blue. Final answer blue.”

Sarah Tregonning, “Any colour that looks like it is a part of the Caribbean Sea.”Q: Is there going to be a pedway between Old Main and the Forum?

A: Dean Allen Berger has informed the Dag that yes, there will. Get excit-ed for more construction, magic bridg-es and less ice when you find yourself heading to Old Main from the Forum.

If you have a question you’d like an-swered in an upcoming issue. Email us, mes-sage us, or tweet at us. You can reach us at [email protected], DagligtaleNews on Facebook and @DagligtaleNews on Twitter.

work experience in his past roles as a Resident Assistant, a Campus Ambassa-dor and an executive with various clubs. Overall, Emil wants to make the Augusta-na community feel like home to students. Danisha Suchak: Second Year Representative

Danisha is a second year Business and Management student majoring in Economics and minoring in Psycholo-gy. She is running to be the Second Year Representative for the ASA and wishes to be the means of communication between the second year students and the ASA. Danisha’s biggest concern is that the ASA is struggling to reach out to off campus students and wishes to bridge that gap. In addition, she believes that many sec-ond year students are debating whether or not to continue with their undergrad-uate degree. Danisha wants to tackle these issues as the voice for her constituents. Connor Maschke: Off Campus Representative

Connor is a first year student majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Mu-sic. Connor is running to be an Off Campus Representative and in his short time at Au-gustana he has already noticed that many students are unaware of what the ASA does behind the scenes or what their responsi-bilities are apart from hosting events. Hav-ing been at a different college before where there were no Off Campus Representatives, Connor is motivated to voice the concerns of off campus students and to plan events in order to avoid the frustration he previ-ously felt when he had no representative.

Jordan Anderson: First Year Representative

Jordan is a first year Bachelor of Sci-ence student majoring in Biology and mi-noring in Chemistry. Jordan is running to be a First Year Representative. Jordan wants to join the ASA to give voice to the entire campus and bring issues forward. Jordan

has had three years experience in student government when she was a member of her high school student council and believes that she can help first year students settle in at Augustana and get more intercon-nected. Overall, Jordan wants her fellow first years to feel at home and to have fun. Taylor Johnson: First Year Representative

Taylor is a first year student taking a Bachelor of Arts with an undeclared ma-jor. She is running to be a First Year Rep-resentative because she is passionate about politics. Taylor was on her high school council for three years and has additional leadership experience as a band executive. Having been both an athlete and a musi-cian, Taylor believes she can represent the views and opinions of a large group of people. Taylor’s biggest concern is that students won’t take part in the events being held on campus and she wants people to get out and meet each other.

Zoey Liu: First Year Representative

Zoey is a first year student taking a Bachelor of Science with a Chemistry major. Zoey is inspired to run for an ASA position as she was amazed by the effort they put in to make her feel welcomed at Augustana. If Zoey were elected, she would work on mak-ing the ASA more accessible for students to approach by increasing the personal communication between the ASA and the student body. In addition, she is concerned that first year students are unaware of var-ious study habits and wants to create more study groups to get ideas shared among stu-dents. Overall, Zoey wants to be a part of the community and to be involved with the activities that affect student relationships.

Also running in the ASA election, but unavailable for an interview, is Dar-rion Letendre. Darrion is running for Aboriginal Students Representative.

Voting begins on Sept. 16 and ends on Sept. 17. Voting booths will be set up in the middle of the forum.

By KATELYN GAELAt 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 29, Gram-

my, CMA, and Billboard award-winning artist Juice Newton will be playing at the Lougheed Performing Arts Centre.

Newton has been involved in music for most of her life, doing her first paid per-formance when she was only 13. In 1981, Newton released her third solo album, Juice, which quickly went platinum and Newton became internationally known.

While many people identify Newton as a country artist, she had her beginnings in folk, and has been at the top of the charts in pop and adult contemporary music in addition to the top of country music charts. She describes her music as a diverse mix, which means it has got something for everyone in it. “I try to govern what I do by picking songs that I like - they are not necessarily directed at one particular genre. If you don’t do what you like, you’ll be doing something for somebody else. You have to choose songs that speak to you.”

Newton has been known for bringing an authenticity and energy to the stage, which allows her to really connect to her audience. Newton acknowledges there are a lot of artists and music out there that are just for the fun of it, having a good time. “There’s a lot of fluff out there, but for me personally, I want to pick stuff I like,”

When asked about her reputation of being a genuine and authentic perform-er, Newton says, “My roots are from folk

music… Bob Dylan, story songs, political songs, and personal interpretation songs. When you get that, it sticks with you through your career. You can write songs with a personal touch, and fun stuff too!” Her music connects her to her audience.

Newton also offers encouragement to the young artists out there: “You have so many tools available to you as young artists - Facebook, YouTube. Get your stuff out there, and do it to have fun, enjoy it. It’s a labour of love.”

It is this labour of love that has kept Newton in the music industry and writ-ing new music, even today. When asked what her motivation for continuing to play is, Newton said, “This is what I do best, and it’s truly what I am now. I liked it then, I still like it. Every time you go out it’s different, the stage is different, the people are different, and it’s a challenge. Can I make this work again?” Audience members attending the upcoming show will undoubtedly experience the authen-ticity and energy Newton is known for.

In addition to Newton’s genuine na-ture and energy, the performance on Sept. 29 will be the trio, an acoustic show. “The songs will be rearranged in an acoustic set-ting, more personable, and rely on interac-tion with the audience,” Newton says. “We are looking forward to coming…we al-ways have a lot of fun up there in Canada.”

Students are encouraged to come out and enjoy the show.
