It may sound a little like the Detox Week Events that Augsburg had earlier this semester, but as the posters say, "the end of the semester draws near, do you find yourself anxious, stressed, and overwhelmed by life's demands? No worries because SPA DAY is fast approaching!" This event is about self-centering, and de-stressing. It is also a chance to get ready for finals and to learn about products that are toxic. Director of the Women's Resource Center. Jessica Nathanson says "it's a chance for students—and staff and faculty too—to relax at the end of the semester and get psychologically ready for finals week." The event takes place in the Women's Resource Centre in 207 Sverdrup. It will go from one in the afternoon until five in the See SPA, page 2 DC Spa 2>ay J^eCe/yjoer II l^o/yien v5 £?eSoUtCLe Center- Martial arts Student film conies to Augsburg screening this Sunday Melissa Monson Staff Writer Freshman Tayo Johnson has been in Tae Kwon Do since she was eight years old. Johnson has brought her love and knowledge of Tae Kwon Do to Augsburg by forming the Martial Art's Club. A one-hour meeting on the background and rules will be held Friday from 5-6 p.m. in the Marshall Room. Johnson's interest in Tae Kwon Do originated with church. "It [was] with my church; my church was giving free Tae Kwon Do lessons," she said. Once Johnson became more advanced, she eventually moved on to a martial art's studio in Rose- mount called Northwest Martial Arts. Although Johnson voiced her interest in forming a club many months ago, it was just approved as a club three weeks ago and she says she is "extremely excited to do this." Johnson says that she had help from Pehn Lo, the Director of Pan-Asian Student Services. Lo will be the club's faculty adviser, since every student club must have one. See MARTIAL, page 2 Becca Andersen Staff Writer A student film festival will be shown on Sunday, Dec. 13 at 2 pm in the Film/TV studio of Foss. The films that will be shown are the final projects of the students in Film Production One; generally, this is the first class that a Film Major would take at Augsburg. Jon Wulff, Mychal Batson, Phoebe Bottoms, Sergio Monterrubio, Andrea Bussey, Gina Westefield, Taylor Kaiser- Gajeski, Molly O'Donnell, Joe Lichtscheidl, Ann Marlot, Cole Oosterhuis, Adam Spanier, Jacob Steffen, Charlie Textor, Rose Wells, Breanna Kennedy, and Joshua Barsness will be showcasing their choice best works of the semester at the showing. Because it was open-ended, the project made way for a variety of film—although, they are all black and white, silent, and were shot on 16 mm film. Students also created supporting soundtracks. About half of the class consists of Film Majors, said Carly Lassegard, film student and T.A, for Film Production One. "I think that having a showing for the classes is important because it gives the students a chance to show their best work to their friends and family, including the Film and Communications faculty," she said. The professor of Film Production One, Wes Ellenwood, along with the T.A.'s for the class, Lassegard and Joe Funk, coordinated the showing. But the students will be putting their own See FILM, page 2 Augsburg's Velkommen Jul kicks off holiday season Jon Peterson Staff Writer Last Friday, Augsburg kicked off the holiday season with its annual Velkommen Jul celebration. The event began with a chapel service where Finnish and Norwegian hymns were sung. The service also featured a visit by "St. Nicholas" himself a.k.a. Pastor Dave Wold. The sen ice w as followed by a large reception in the Christiansen Center commons. Upon entering the Christiansen Center, the guests were met by Augsburg's own Gospel Praise singers, as the> performed Christmas carols w dooming the community to the holiday event. The Christiansen Center lobby also had gifts and food available for purchase The cafeteria and commons were filled with hundreds of alumni, faculty, students and community brought together in the name of Scandmav ian treats and festive sweaters. In fact, seven! Augsburg associates wore traditional, colorful "bunads."" These bunads are folk outfits that usually involve a long dress and shirt with ornate designs. Holiday garb was indeed prevalent as were tasty Norwegian pseudo-cookies. These included: "Krumkake," "Kranser," "Fattigman," "Rosettes," and the ever popular "Jul Spritz." And no Norwegian celebration would be complete without "Lefse," (a potato based fiatbread tortilla) and "Gjetost" (a sweet, dark goat cheese). Some of the recipes dated back to the families of Augsburg's earliest Seminary students that came over from Norway. Several of the recipes have been passed down through different generations, and have been staples at Velkommen Jul each year. Velkommen Jul is a Norwegian celebration in Norway "Escorting in the Season" or in other w ords welcoming the Yuletide. It has celebrated across the country and throughout the world, but Augsburg is one of the few colleges to make it a formal event.
