Evens-Mulé to lead HUSC

Shanelle Evens and John Mulé won the HUSC presidential election, topping the second-place team of Mike Pesko and Laura Mann by 77 votes, according to the HUSC web site.

Evens and Mulé were ahead throughout the runoff rounds and never trailed as teams were eliminated.

The team said their next step is setting their executive board budget, which is due on March 17 by noon.

Mulé, who will chair the general assembly, said his next step was “to hit the books” and learn Robert’s Rules of Order.

Andy's Garage offers a unique environment

Andy’s Garage offers something different, even down to the 1950’s-style spinning sign outside the restaurant, located at 1825 University Ave. Walk in, and customers will be bombarded by vintage posters of Frank Sinatra on the walls, the sound of Nat King Cole playing on an old Wurlitzer jukebox, and the smell of good old fashioned burgers frying in the diner’s open kitchen.

“Our motto is ‘good food, good fun’” said DJ Traudt, who opened the diner along with his wife Sande and daughter Andrea (the “Andy” of Andy’s Garage) in June of 2000. “Andy’s is a place for people from all over the community to gather to eat and catch up. We really strive to be an asset to [the Hamline Midway] community.”

Editorial

We are concerned with the reaction of many students to the formation of the Hamline University Gun Society. While we are advocates of gun regulation, not use, we strongly oppose voting against an organization being chartered on the basis of not liking guns. This goes against Hamline’s mission and desire for diversity.

Diversity is not only accepting and welcoming a variety of races, ethnicities, and cultures, it is also the
respect for opinions and organizations of many perspectives. This effort for a more diverse campus should be extended to include a gun society.

We do not plan on becoming a member of the organization and will never advocate gun use, but we will respect the perspectives of others and argue here on behalf of the rights of the students to form this organization.

Someone once told me that the best and most real news doesn’t happen between the 9ą5 working hours. Anyone walking down Snelling Avenue between the straight and quiet hours of 9ą5 won’t see much in the way of action or news.

Don’t get me wrong here: Hamline is a beautiful and important place. We have plenty going on, whether it’s politics or achievements of students and professors making the news, but there is more lying beneath the surface of Hamline’s maroon-and-brown faŹade.

Anyone who wakes up early enough on the weekends and Monday mornings before Hamline’s excellent grounds crew is able to clean up the campus is witness to the shards of glass and aluminum that thinly coat the ground (I know this well; I’m on the grounds crew). In the air is the faint smell of human bile and lingering cigarette smoke. But forget the actual campus grounds č take a look at the nearby student-rented houses. The aroma and litter paints a post-riot scene. Something must have happened here!

Men’s track team finishes 4th at MIAC championships

Men’s track finishes fourth

The men’s team met their goal to place in the top four in the conference at the MIAC indoor championships this March.

The Hamdogs scored 83 points and earned a fourth-place finish, after finishing seventh at the championships last season. St. Thomas won with 191 points, taking the team title for the 21st consecutive season. UST was followed by St. Olaf and St. John’s, with 113 and 104 points respectively.

The event to watch was the 35-pound weight throw. Jake Courrier and Ralph Rosario battled for first place. Each broke the school record and hit the provisional national qualifying mark. Courrier was able to pull ahead and won the meet with a throw of 55-10 1/4 on his last throw to take the title. He had finished eighth in the event last season.

Under the covers...with Molly Kirwan

Dear Molly:
I got into a serious relationship during high school and stayed with the same guy until very recently, so I’ve done very little sexual investigating on my own. Now, for practically the first time since puberty, I am single and very horny. I’ve never really masturbated. I’ve tried, but I’m so used to having someone else help me out down there that it feels kind of weird, and I find it hard to stay aroused. Has sex at an early age ruined my ability to pleasure myself, or should I keep trying?
