The Dagligtale
Cameron Raynor Editor-in-Chief 2015 was an interesting year at Augustana: The men’s volleyball team took ACAC gold, Founder’s Hall reopened, and Augustana welcomed a new Science Department Chair. Not to mention the Winter Formal Burlesque scandal. There’s no telling what 2016 will hold, but that doesn’t mean we can’t try. Here I will predict the unpredictable that is somewhat predictable: Construction of the pedway will take far longer than anticipated. Fundraising for the once controversial pedway between Founders’ Hall and the Forum was completed in 2015 and the design process is underway. Once complete, students, faculty and staff will be able to travel with ease from the second floor library offices to the Learning, Advising and Beyond offices without having to brave 20 feet of Camrose’s nefarious winter conditions or experience the light of day. No competition schedule was available at the time of this
writing, but construction will almost certainly take longer than anticipated once a schedule is announced. This will continue the authentic Augustana experience of studying in the midst of a construction site. The ASA will have an election and at least one position will be uncontested. While I’d love to be proven wrong, it’s almost inevitable that at least one position will be uncontested in the March election. Last election , only one of the six contests was contested and one position had to be appointed after the fact. Hopefully we’ll see more interest from the student body and more students run in the election this time around. The ASA does a lot of good work for the student body and plays an important role in student life. Construction of the Wahkohtawin Lodge will be completed. It feels like a long time coming but the end is in sight. Soon artwork will adorn the walls of the Wahkohtawin Lodge, previously known as the basement of the Forum, and opening ceremonies will be held. Fahmy’s ‘excellent students’ will ‘all get A-pluses’ There’s no other place where you can get the best grades of your undergraduate career for
being complimented. Students fortunate enough to grace next Fall’s offering of Economics 101 will get to experience the unique form of university ‘education,’ where exam multiple choice answers are distributed in advance of the exam and it’s not considered cheating. We’ll finally find out who runs Augustana Confessions This one’s a bit of a stretch, but we can still hope. Augustana Confessions has been running for years and who runs the page is still a tightly kept secret. Whoev-
er it is, they’ve certainly accumulated a lot of embarrassing secrets over the years. First Year Residence will continue to have a disproportionately high number of fire alarms. The cause of these fire alarms will remain a mystery, however. It could be a result of inconsiderate students abusing their new found freedom. More likely, it is an Illuminati plot designed to disrupt your sleep cycles and sabotage your grades—thus keeping you from joining the global elite. But who knows.
Resolutions are Made to be Broken Let’s re-evaluate how we make New Year’s resolutions this year.

Jennifer Rozema Editor The new year has arrived, and with it the cultural pressure and expectation to change our lives once and for all. The commercials for gym memberships, holiday weight loss ad campaigns, and the guilt trips we are sent on during the first week of January become tedious. The pressure to make resolutions to ‘better yourself’ build to a point where it becomes almost impossible not to make a resolution–even if it’s just a resolution to not make useless resolutions this new year. We need to let go of the illusion that making New Year’s resolutions will instantly and almost magically make our lives better. The point of a resolution is to make your life better, yes? Then why does this overwhelming need to change our lives and make ourselves better people only come at the beginning of a

Instead of starting your year off with a resolution that you most likely won’t commit to for very long, try something different this year. Take the time that you would have spent this week attempting to keep your hastily made resolutions and instead reflect. Reflect on your past year, and make a list of the things that you want to improve this year. You don’t need to change everything about yourself that you aren’t happy with. Choose a couple of things from your list that you can commit to changing. Focus on those things. They can be small, but small things build up over time. Once you’ve accomplished some of your smaller goals, you’ll have the practice and strength to tackle some of your bigger goals. This is a longer way to starting on your bigger life changing goals, but this way you’ll have a better chance of succeeding when you do make the decision to change your life in a big way. Remember life isn’t a race, it’s a journey.

Geraint Osborne Wins Teaching Leadership Award Professor of Sociology and Crime and Community awarded 2015-16 Augustana Faculty Teaching Leadership Award. Allison Ikenouye Senior Staff Writer In December 2015, Geraint Osborne, associate professor of Sociology and Crime and Community, was presented with the 2014-2015 Augustana Faculty Teaching Leadership Award. Osborne was honored with this award based on nominations placed by Osborne’s colleagues at Augustana centered on leadership ability and innovative teaching style. When it comes to teaching method and style, Osborne highlighted three key points that he abides by: seminar, lecture and discussion. Osborne’s teaching style asserts his belief that classes should “deviate away from dry old lectures and integrate learning in interesting new ways.” Adhering to this philosophy, Osborne became one of the first professors at Augustana to develop and integrate Community Service Learning (CSL) placements into his classes. Osborne’s teaching philosophy also believes that students should have a say in what they are learning in the classroom. This way students, upper-year students in particular, have the opportunity to independently conduct research, interview people and even dictate the focus of a course. In Osborne’s introductory Crime and Community class (AUCRI 160), Osborne embraces experiential learning by bringing in a wide selection of guest speakers. These guest speakers give students a realistic depiction of the inner workings of the

When asked how his teaching style has evolved over his years as a professor, Osborne recalled his time as an undergraduate student when teaching was entirely lecture based. Osborne said he initially followed the lecture based method, but by the 2005-2006 academic year, Osborne had begun to appreciate the value of experiential learning and apply experiential learning to his classroom. Osborne said that lectures will likely continue to hold their purpose in the university classroom as means for students to actively listen and reflect on ideas. However, he is interested in new ideas that will best suit students who learn in a number of different ways. Osborne aims to make his classroom a positive learning
environment, rather than an environment that fuels the stress and pressures that students are already under. Instead, Osborne said instructors should, “be sensitive to student’s needs.” And in doing so, Osborne believes in building relationships with students, as “good teaching is about building good relationships.” The successes of Osborne’s teaching style, which incorporates both a lighthearted and personal approach to serious issues, are easily observable to any student who has taken any of his classes. Osborne’s passion for teaching, building relationships with students and ability to make connections between classroom theory and real life scenarios makes Osborne an exemplary recipient of the Augustana Teaching Leadership Award.

From Camrose, Around the World, and Back Again Augustana alumni Richard Bruneau travels the world with Canada World Youth and Canadian Foreign Service. Pam Chamberlain University of Alberta Richard Bruneau’s desire to make a difference has taken him around the world and brought him home again. His efforts to make the world a better place have evolved as a result of his commitment to lifelong learning. Richard (BSc Math/Physics ’99) grew up in Camrose, so Augustana was the logical choice when it came time to pursue post-secondary studies. In his fourth year, Richard participated in the Rural Development Exchange Program in Mexico, and it changed the course of his life. He learned about the complexities of development work and issues of social justice, and these fostered his desire to improve people’s lives. Richard added a minor in rural and community development to his degree and, after graduation, he worked with Canada World Youth in Bolivia, Uruguay,
Guatemala, and Western Canada. While working in Stettler and Mexico, he met his future wife, Kierstin Heiberg (BA English ’03), an Augustana graduate who grew up on a farm near Camrose. Richard soon realized that although his work might impact individual people and local communities, addressing poverty and oppression required action at a macro level— changes in global systems and government policies. So Richard undertook a master’s degree in international affairs at Carleton University. During his program, he did internships and research projects in community-based natural resource management, space weapons security, criminal intelligence, and arms control. Afterwards, Richard joined the Canadian Foreign Service as a diplomat with the Afghanistan Task Force in Ottawa and Kabul. His second placement was with the Arms Control Division in Ottawa, which included some work
at the UN in New York and Vienna. “One of the highlights of my career,” he recalls, “was addressing the United Nations on behalf of Canada, pushing for better regulation of the international arms trade.” On his next assignment, as Counsellor for Canadian-Palestinian political relations in the West Bank and Gaza, Richard lived in Jerusalem and dealt with everything from the peace process to human rights and trade. He describes the work and working conditions as “intense.” For example, wearing a flak jacket and helmet, he helped evacuate Canadian citizens from Gaza during shelling and air strikes. After eight years in the Foreign Service, Richard was ready for a break from bureaucracy, and his wife was eager to pursue a long-held dream: he helped her take over her family farm. Richard says, “My wife had followed me around the world for a few years, and it was my turn to fol-
Photo: University of Alberta low her back home.” While Kierstin focuses on farming, Richard has returned to Augustana to teach sociology and is enrolled in the U of A’s B.Ed. after-degree program. He looks forward to teaching in the Camrose area. “High school is formative,” he explains. “Teachers change the
world by inspiring and empowering youth to understand the roles they can play in it.” He believes that his work overseas will benefit him and his students in the social studies classroom. He will also be a role model, living proof that a kid from rural Alberta can travel the world and make a difference.

ASA Change Election Bylaws Changes aim to clarify eligibility for various council positions. Continued from page 1 changes would also allow any student to run for the councillor-at-large position, regardless of credits or years spent as a student. The changes aim to clarify who is eligible to run for each position on council in upcoming elections, said ASA President Stephanie Grulke. The credits-based system is consistent with how the Office of the Registrar defines students’ year statuses. “These are the same numbers the Registrar Office uses,” she said. Under the new rules, a firstyear is defined as a student with 0-23 credits, a second-year has 24-53 credits, a third-year has 5483 credits, and a fourth year has 84 or more credits. Now that the Augustana
Student Council has agreed to the changes, the results will be posted on boards around campus, ASA social media accounts, and on the ASA website. Students can raise concerns at the Jan. 6, 13, 27 council meetings. Council will vote on whether or not to go ahead with the changes at the Jan. 27 meeting. “In order for the changes to become permanent, the changes must be posted for 21 days,” said ASA Executive Director Cindy Roose. If there are no concerns brought forward from the student body, the changes will be filed with the Societies Act of Alberta. Third-year Business student Alex Rumak sees the changes as a positive step for the ASA. “It clears up the rules better,” he said. “The bylaw is a good thing to help
the student body better-recognize who can run for certain positions and who is representing each year specifically.” The changes come as part of this year’s ASA Agenda and Priorities Committee efforts to make the ASA’s current bylaws and policies consistent and clear. “We’re currently doing a full review of our policy and bylaw,” said Gruhlke. Students may see more bylaw changes this semester as the Agenda and Priorities Committee continues to review policies for consistency and clarity. Any changes are expected to be minor and “won’t change the way we run things,” said Gruhlke. Council meetings take place Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. in the Roger Epp Boardroom or the ASA Boardroom.

Aries (March 21 - April 19): Take to heart what you received over the Winter Holidays, be it a good meal or some okay grades. It’s time to treat yourself and earn some rewards for a year well done. Taurus (April 20 - May 20): With the new semester rearing up it’s time to grab it by the horns. This semester can be your best yet if you set yourself up right. Visit the Academic Advisors to get a better grip on where you should be. Gemini (May 21 - June 20): The can-do spirit of Aries is slipping over to you from Uranus. Unexpected prospects may come your way and you may feel the desire to just do it and maybe that is what you should do. Cancer (June 21 - July 22): You’re going to be encountering a rude awakening this week from morning classes. Work at fixing your sleep schedule from the holidays and perhaps you’ll find a good opportuni-
ty in the sunrise. Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22): This is a calm time for you, with few planets rubbing at you. Allow yourself a break when needed and focus on your mental health during your downtime. Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22): Good old Jupiter is in retrograde for you, time to take a breather and revisit your labours of last year. Accept what has come to fruition and look towards the future without the burdens of 2015. Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22): You may have a chance to advance in your classes or take a 300 level course instead of a 200. It’s worth the risk and can net you greater rewards, but resist the desire to be number one. Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21): Be careful of puffing yourself up too much. Mars is trying to pull out your true strength for when you need it, like midterms.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21): Venus is pushing you to explore and go for adventures. Visit a place you haven’t before, or try out a class that’s different than you’re used to. This is the time for “Why not?” Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19): You’re going to realize that politics is far nastier than you want to admit. Look at them closely and keep an open mind. The world is in a fragile state and you may need to lead when least expected. Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18): Mercury is a strong force for you and has entered its retrograde. Be wary of drafting future plans and double check your semester classes to see if they’re what you need. Pisces (Feb. 19 - March 20): The refreshing taste of the new Chiron planet is making you view things in a new light. Remember that there are always two sides to a story and don’t fear treading new ground.

The Five Best Places in Camrose to Get Wings Sponsored by

Camrose May Seek Bus Service to Edmonton in 2016 Continued from page 1 available to make up the difference and would increase the chances of the project going through. “The provincial government is suggesting to the operators that there will be money available for the municipalities to make applications for it and that’s the process we are looking at,” said Mayer. So, the question becomes: Will the provincial government provide the funding necessary to help Camrose get a Greyhound system? Newly elected Camrose-Wetaskawin MLA Bruce Hinkley said, “Since becoming the government we have discovered that transportation in rural Alberta is pretty poor. It used to be better many years ago.” Hinkley also stated that the Provincial Government is keenly interested in improving transportation systems in rural areas. He however emphasized the fact that it will have to be privately done at this time as the Province experiences an economic recession. Hinkley also said that many
factors led Greyhound to stop offering daily service from Camrose to surrounding areas and Edmonton. A major reason was the declining number of riders as more people turned to self-transportation. It became more profitable for Greyhound to ship freight rather than people. Once the rural areas no longer had reliable, regular scheduled transportation, ridership decreased and triggered a vicious cycle of fewer passengers, fewer routes; fewer routes, fewer passengers. There is no question that
tation to and from Edmonton for medical appointments or surgeries – an obstacle to many senior citizens in Camrose. Despite this need, however, Greyhound’s opportunities for profit in Camrose are not high. Low gas prices , cheap cars, and the independence associated with using one’s own vehicle hamper the chances that a bus line will be developed in Camrose. The current economic situation may appear to spell an end to the possibility of Camrose gettings its own Greyhound system.

Dianna Funk: Life is what you make it, the challenges you face and the adventures you experience.
Rebecca Bates: It is different for each person, it depends on their hopes, dreams and what they want out of life..
Samantha Schneider: You’re born, you grow, then you die.
