Search for CLA dean garners large candidate pool

With applications long since due, the search committee for the Dean of the CLA has compiled a long list of applicants it hopes to narrow in the coming weeks.

“Response to the advertisement has been very good,” Professor Samuel Imbo, a committee member, said.
From that group, Imbo said, the committee is working on “reducing the pool of applicants.” In the past, Imbo said, five or six candidates have been brought to campus for interviews.

Local skier missed Games

Ahvo Tiapale is the Finnish born proprietor of the Finn Sisu ski and sauna business on University. It features ski schools and is one of the four remaining shops in St. Paul area, on a trend of gradually disappearing cross country ski orientated retail, particularly over the last ten years. His high-level cross country ski competition understudy Chad Giese has been with him since the ‘80s, and more recently after graduating from college, he’s been on a regimen of training for the U.S. Olympic team for this year’s games.

Giese has received strong support from the community, sufficient financial backing from homespun fundraisers, a slot on the Suburu team, and a flexible full-time job at Metronics which accommodated Giese’s training as an Olympic hopeful for the 2006 games.

Editorial

Fans lack sportsmanship

If you’ve been to a Hamline basketball game this season, you may have seen them. Piper pride has been out in full force at Hutton Arena in the group known as the “Hutton Hustlers.” This group of people brings spirit and volume to Hamline’s crowd, leading rigorous “defense cheers” and Piper claps. We feel this is a great way to show school spirit and show support to the Hamline athletes. The athletes appreciate the extra fan support, and the fans can feel more involved in the game.

Award-winning French film ready for America

Cache, the new film from director Michael Haneke (The Piano Teacher, Time of the Wolf) opens with an incredibly long shot of a townhouse in Paris with nothing particularly of interest taking place in the street. As voices are heard, we discover that what we are seeing is a videotape of the townhouse where Georges (Daniel Auteuil, Queen Margot, La Separation) and Anne Laurent (Juliette Binoche, The English Patient, Chocolat) live with their son, Pierrot.

Georges and Anne have no idea who sent the video or why. Anne openly admits that she is frightened, though admitting she does not know exactly why. Soon, she starts receiving anonymous phone calls while Georges is away working as the host of a TV show.

Misconceptions in misconduct: The truth about playing and paying

Just like everyone else on campus, they come here from all around the world. There are almost five hundred of them on campus. Most of them train all year round. They wear the colors of Hamline and represent our entire school on the field, on the court, and in the water. During their travels to other campuses, they are representatives of our student body. They are the men and women of Piper athletics. In order to make a team, athletes usually have to have a good tryout or audition. Everyone knows it takes a lot of work and dedication to make a team, but not everyone knows that it takes a lot more work to stay on a team. Hamline does all they can to ensure that their athletes are on good behavior.

Under the Covers

Dear Under the Covers,

When I’m having sex, I am only able to perform for about three to four minutes before I climax. Past girlfriends have been disappointed over this issue; how can I last longer in order to please future partners?
