“Do you need a Doctor?”
If you needed a doctor, you should have gone to HA 1+2’s cabin. Here you would have found both a couple of doctors and definitely some pretty nurses. Asking for Head Doctor Nielsen, he would kindly have been at your service.

BREAKING BARRIERS
Dobbeltsprog Breaking Barriers In Dobbeltsprog’s cabin they definitely knew how tequila shots were handled. As soon as Commerciel Magazine entered, we were met by outgoing youngsters having a blast. Usually it takes a while before the character of your classmates shine through, but it seems like the weekend at Rødhus has helped everybody to break down some
barriers. At Dobbeltsprog, the guys were challenging their masculinity in the yard, fighting for the ball, not letting goals pass easily. Now and then some left the field to drink a beer, as punishment or just for thirst. Meanwhile in the living room the girls were awaking their inner latina, having a tequila party.

Back in Business Did you feel the vibe in the big hall at Rødhus Friday night when UFO & Yepha conquered the scene? I think you did. Classics from the good old teenage parties like ‘Op med håret’ and ‘Hængekøjen’ rocked the audience. All though the guys had not performed together for over two years, nobody took note of the small mistakes or the slightly

Both are devoted to their own music and working with new singles to come, yet they are not excluding a future partnership. We will just have to wait and see. Right now UFO & Yepha are taking one day at the time doing things they en-

UFO & Yepha their dream, and now they can look back and say: “We tried to go big and we had a blast doing it.” “People talked about the possibilities in China and we tried,” UFO explains with clear enthusiasm. UFO and Yepha might as well have been in the beginning of their twenties this Friday at Rødhus. Friends from their beginning, fifteen years ago, joined the stage at the final song and the student audience, the musicians and
friends had a blast of a party. “We will definitely come back next year if the opportunity arises,” they both strongly stated. Later that evening, UFO & Yepha were to be found at the bar surrounded by happy student from BSS and their old friends. Hopefully you enjoyed the evening as much as the rappers from Fyn.

CASE COMPETITION
Case Competition During the Introduction Week, twenty-two teams competed to go through to the final round of the Flügger Case Competition. Only three teams came through the eye of the needle, and got the chance of winning a party in Klubben worth of 15.000 DKK. Here is the story about the winners of the Flügger Case Competition. BY KIRSTINE SØES IBSEN
Sunday, September 16th, 2012, 19:14:59 It’s a grey Sunday evening with only few people in the streets. In the middle of Aarhus in a small apartment, nine “rusere” from HA 5+6 are gathered. Together they form one of the three teams who were elected to present their case for Flügger’s Sales and Marketing Director, Claus Bjørn. Offhand, the atmosphere is relaxed; most of the guys show up in sports gear or working clothes and their main focus is on the live football
match on TV and having a beer or two. This group, consisting of eight guys and one girl, enjoy spending time together. The last couple of weeks, they have spent many hours together and have put great effort into their case solution. In just three days they will stand in front of the jury at BSS. On this Sunday evening, as the sun is setting and you can only vaguely see the last glimpse of sunbeams, HA 5+6 begins a late night of preparing their Flügger Case Competition.

CASE COMPETITION
More than just a Case Competition Wednesday, September 19th 2012, 02:27:22 PM When stepping into Room M107, you will meet seven guys dressed in white starched dress shirt and one curled hair girl in a blue dress. They are all standing by the blackboard advising each other and discussing whether to shake hands with the judges or not. The group’s last guy just pulled out a dress shirt from his backpack as another relieved comments: “For a second, I thought you were gonna wear that for the presentation,” referring to his blue t-thirt. They laugh at each other as he puts on his dress shirt and tucks it firmly down his black pant. They have all suited up. In the final round of the Case Competition, the finalists are to make a marketing plan
for Flügger, containing the strategies to attract more young customers. The teams are judged on the output of the case and their ability to work as a team. On the outside, the nine teammates do not seem too nervous, but their eyes tell another story. “It’s funny because in the introduction week we didn’t pay too much attention and we just had fun solving the case. Mainly, we became friends”, says Sophie Junge, who is the only girl in the group. She continues, “Now it’s suddenly very serious, but we are all very happy that we’ve made it this far. We are nervous now, as the presentation day has come. We are under a lot of pressure to perform well. People has started to ask questions about the case and now we are all in it for the win,” Sophie Junge finishes and returns to her team, who is just about to make one final test run before they have to present their case for the jury.

CASE COMPETITION Case Competition
03:15:01 PM Claus Bjørn’s iPhone keeps ringing as he enters the door of M104. It is a busy job being Flügger’s Sales and Marketing Director. But now, he is going to be the examiner of the three final Case Competition teams. “This is how Blachman from X-Factor must feel” he says with a grin. On the other side of the door the first group from ‘English and Communication’ is already waiting to be let in by one of the judges.
04.21.13 PM All three teams did well. Some wore sneakers, some wore high heels, some wore checkered shirts and some wore dress shirts with button-down collar. The diversity was huge. However, the level of ambition was the same: sky high. Each and every one of the members from the three finalist teams had their small contribution. Ideas such as QR-codes, Facebook fan page, concrete examples on how to make suitable Apps, and viral advertising were presented. It all impressed Claus Bjørn and the rest of the jury and deciding on the winner was not easy.
Rødhus Klit
Saturday, September 22nd 2012, 03:21:55 PM People in diapers, people in red morphsuits, people in dressed for disco. Everywhere you look you find smiling happy “rusere” dressed in colours and costumes of their Olympic countries. On the stage the judges are about to present the winners of the Olympic games of the day. The winner of the Flügger Case Competition will be announced as well. As the presenter builds up the tension, the vivid mass becomes silent. But only for a moment, for as the message hits the speakers, HA 5+6 explodes in loud cheers, while pushing their nine classmates to the stage where they receive their prize and the applause of the audience. That surely got them well cooked up for a night with Los E, Tennis and partying. Congratulations HA 5+6, you’re awesome. 14 COMMERCIEL MAGAZINE // SPECIAL EDITION

fter the winners of the Olympic Games and the case competition had been honored, it was time for “100% YES”. Four Don Juans, known as Los E, conquered the stage and several girls with soft knees lost their hearts this Saturday in the North of Jylland. Boyband music pounded out in the large hall at Rødhus, students forgetting the
howling winds outside, smiling and enjoying the energy from the baby oiled, sweating and pulsating stage. After the concert the atmosphere was definitely 100% YES. Students left the hall going to the cabins to relax, socialize and prepare for the big costume party later that evening with the formidable band, Tennis.

The Olympic Games Rødhus Klit
BY ANDERS GRAMSTRUP The weather gods were not in their sunniest mood when the notorious Olympic Games were held at Rødhus Klit. But that did not stop the dedicated students from dressing up and participating in the competitions, giving their best while getting to see how fellow students acted and performed in and between the challenges. In one competition, students from Babyland were up against Paradisland . The Adam’s and Eve’s had a pulsating entrance, dancing and singing while giving the instructors a massage. Here the competition was all about communication and body language. The groups had to line up by the date of their birthday and do it without saying a word. Everyone did their best, but it took some time before the tired brains were up and functioning. The teams were judges and awarded points; then on the move to the next post, not standing for too long in the freezing winds.
In another discipline Piratland was battling Diskoland in a fun game of soccer in pairs held together by tubes around the waists. Everybody speeded around the field, constantly changing direction, following the ball. An awesome competition because of the dedicated participants and the combination of physics and awareness requiring a great deal of teamwork. All in all the spirits of the many students at Rødhus were high and the weather gods did not succeed in ruining the day. Safariland ran with the title of best entrance, and with an impressing score of 193 points the overall winners of the Olympic Games were Legoland. The best costumes were Superhelteland. HA 5-6 became the desirable Case Competition winners and they can look forward to a party of a value of 15.000 DKK in Klubben. All these winners and the happy losers were at this point lined up in the hall, ready for the surprise act, directly from España, performing exclusively for them.

ports outfits in different colors and shapes were all over the place Saturday at Rødhus. Good spirits were everywhere; On the dance floor, at the bar, outside by the hot dog stand, and not to forget on the stage, where the amazing band Tennis made an outstanding concert. One classic after another were played and when you though the audience could not dance any wilder or sing any louder, they did anyway. This night seemed like the perfect beginning of a new era for the new students at BSS, but also the perfect the ending of a unique Introduction Trip at Rødhus Klit.
