HUSC president resigns, VP takes over

The HUSC Executive Board that left Hamline last year looked much different than the one that will take office at the congress’ first general assembly. Once headed by Alex Erickson and Kristen Falde, the Board began shuffling earlier this summer.

In June, when the president and vice president needs to be working with the Executive Board to plan out the first semester’s programs and initiatives, communication between Erickson and the Board halted.

It's not easy bein' green

Give Kevin Costner a break.

Big deal if Waterworld wasn’t the most scientifically accurate film ever to grace the big screen. At least someone in the mid-90’s was attempting to make a statement about climate change.

On the other hand, Costner portrayed a swashbuckling futuristic mutant human who breathed with gills.

Administration turnover continues

As President Linda Hanson begins her second year at the top of Hamline’s food chain, the university must look to a select few new to our campus.

Call it what you will, it's still the same game

This summer by a lake, a campfire, or family reunion you may have seen the yard game played with three-pieces of PVC pipe and drilled golf balls connected by a string. Call it Monkeyball, Cowboy golf, Polish golf, Bola toss, or ladder golfčany way you name it, this outdoor summer game has proven to be the most fun the Midwest has had with throwing ball games than the Black Sox.

Pipers dominate in all facets of football season opener

Even before classes get started and everyone is back on campus, Hamline Piper Football is back and ready to begin the season. On August 31 the Pipers started chipping away at the schedule by welcoming the Mayville State Comets to the friendly confines of Klas Field. This is a new season and a new Piper football squad. After talking to second year Piper Coach Paul Miller, last year’s 3-7 record is an afterthought and the team is intensely focused on 2006. “That [2005] seems like a long time ago now...we had a couple games where we had a chance to win but we didn’t do that. I think that’s the farthest thing from our thoughts right now...what happened last year happened last year,” said Miller.
