ABOUT TIME FOR A NEW PERSPECTIVE First, the front page needs an explanation. Tuntreet has arranged a front page competition this semester, with an open theme and format. Thanks for all the contributions! The winner of the competition is Ruben Rygh, with his picture, taken on the national climate strike on the 22nd of March. In the heap of creative, harsh and vice posters, this little one turned up. The message is nevertheless clear and strong. A new big strike is to be held on the 24th of May, when the second international climate strike will take place. I sincerely hope that the politicians will take in the message and see the climate crisis from the coming generations perspective.

With a dream to turn campus around (I at least got to turn the last leader around) I entered into the role as editor. I have experienced that things are always more complicated and multipage than I thought before I got acquainted with it. And even though you go in with the best purpose, it is easy to make a wrong turn when you try to change things. Lesson to myself: try to see things from several perspectives before you do something with it. If you do it in the right way, everyone can benefit.

When something is finished, you often get a new perspective on what was. For better or worse. This fall Julie will become editor in chief, while Anne Tove will become journalist coordinator for Tuntreet. It will offer new perspectives. Julie is tough and has a twinkle in her eye (Bein i nasen og glimt i øyet). Anne Tove has technical brilliance and lovely humor. Without putting too much pressure on these two and the rest of the editorial staff, will I claim that Tuntreet is in safe hands. Thanks for now! Big hug <3

It hurts a bit to be done with the editor position, when you feel that you have learned how to handle the tasks. But as it is at the university in general, you are here first and foremost to learn. Someone new will take over and get the opportunity to put their mark on the student life.

Sung and danced in a total of 29750 kroner for Syrian Children Since 1981, Kulter-x-plosjon has been an event that runs smoothly for Samfunnet I Ås, a night of partying with performances from every corner of the Agronomymetropole. This year, the laughter and applause added up to a total of 29750 kroner being donated to United Aid. Kaja Mie Botnen Journalist Translated By: Hanna Sahlström

Helping Children on the Run It is Broderskapet Unity and Feminin og Fornem who are responsible for United Aid, a charity project in cooperation with UNICEF. The actual evening however, was originally dedicated to celebrate the additions to the Samfunnet building. In the past few years, these two ideas have been combined into one night with a show and auction working in smooth harmony.

Just as well, if we are going to proceed with our staple drinking and partying, it is a welcome idea to spend a little more money on something bigger than tomorrows hangover. The money will go to the Makani Project, which has the goal of offering Syrian children a on the run a stable day-today life. This is done by providing simple education, psychosocial support and life skills, a representative from Feminin og Fornem explains to Tuntreet.

Shocking Bidding Rounds Similar to most things that happen in our student environment, this evening has the tradition of including some wellknown, beloved numbers. Obligatory theme parties are to be auctioned off, the societies shall dally dance and the sweat will start running when Tuntreet’s centerfold is to be auctioned off and the bidding reaches unspeakable sums. The victors?

Feminin og Fornem. This year’s revue prize is awarded by Tuntreet, and Sangkoret Lærken stumble up on stage to receive this prestigious reward, as well as ice cream and a frame. The auctioneer made his distress known over the lack of accordions in the band numbers, and the secretariat’s ink is flooding onto the paper as the bids are pouring in for the Auksjonslaget. Free agents also pop in to take a scratch at the auction, and it is a welcome break from the society rounds.

The fiercest battle of the year

It was late in the afternoon, when gladiators gathered at Storebrand. The atmosphere was tight with tension; everyone was ready for a fight. When the starting sign was given and the fight had opened, the weakest gladiators perished one by one. The emperors were seated in their thrones, looking amused at the flow of blood. The winners shouted out in victory, so that all of Norway could hear their strength. The losers you could hear wail.

Kimberly van der Meer Journalist and photographer

The task of the gladiator was simple: stand on a wooden bar with your sword out and try not to fall off while you slap and get slapped. The battles were packed with action. The hat of a frightened warrior got slapped right off his head, so that the poor guy was blinded by the sun and fell off the bar. Others were slapped in the face, head, and even their legs were not spared. Some battles were so thrilling for the gladiators that they threw themselves off the bar at the mere sight of their opponent. Other gladiators got accused of treachery and cheating. And of course the lot of them blamed the slipperiness of the bar for falling off.

As of the crowd, they had their mouths filled with grillpølser and were loud. So loud that bits of grillpølser flew from their mouths onto the ground, making it hard to see the grass underneath. Apart from their stuffed mouths and their faces red from shouting, the crowd looked very fancy. Their outfits ranged from red and white striped pajamas to golden glitter suits.

The fighting got to a climax in the finale, which consisted of a knight in full armor fighting a singer of the Lærken choir. Their place in the finale was probably due to their wearing of a helmet (safety first). They took their places on the bar and soon the starting sound was heard. The battle was fierce.

Even though the gladiators fell almost simultaneously, the singer won the first round. At the start of the second round, the singer stood on one foot to intimidate the knight. However, this only fueled the

knights’ rage and the knight won the second round. This win was celebrated with a fierce shout. It was 1-1. The final battle had to make the decision who would be allowed to call himself the fiercest gladiator of the year.

The round started and they slapped one another. One gladiator got a blow in the head and fell. It was of course the knight which had fallen. The singer had won and the Lærken choir came running to lift him in the air.

The singer was awarded a bottle of wine and a certificate. The fights were over.

The banners were brought home and the fallen gladiators dissolved into thin air. The winners walked home with the banner held high. The place was deserted within seconds as if the event never had happened. Maybe it had not and a lot of people in Ås had had the same dream.

Guidance or misguidance?

Go to SiT

Go to the Student Adviser Almost one in five students who answered our survey said that they have gone to a student adviser without getting an answer to their inquiry. To find out why this is the case, we have spoken to some of the student advisers at the different faculties on campus and to SiT. Pass on the students There are many stories about how students visit their student advisors and do not get an answer to what they were wondering about and instead being redirected. Or even worse, never getting a response from their adviser by e-mail. We sent out a survey to 6

Issue 05 Year 74

the students to find out how many feel this is the case. In the survey, there were about as many students having been sentto someone else by their student advisers as there were students not having received a response to their inquiries. This implies that when the advisers cannot help the students, they

know who can, and send the students there.

This was confirmed when we talked to the advisers. Their main task when advising is subject guidance, such as answering which subjects overlap in cases concerning exchange, which subjects to take if one chooses to deviate from the proposed study

TUNTREET

Our survey recommended these student advisers: Espen Arestøl (MINA) Stine Telneset (animal husbandry) Sigrun Vedø (Realtek) Cathrine Strømø (Biology and plant science)

plan or how one should organize one’s subjects if one wants to change the field of study. Usually, when they cannot help the students, they send them on to SiT, the Health Centre or the Career Centre.

The Student Information Centre (SiT)

But what is actually SiT? SiT stands for the Student Information Centre, and is another guidance organ on campus. It is independent from the faculties and conducts general guidance. Here you can get an answer to inquiries about taking subjects in other faculties, faculties at the University of Oslo and the like, in addition to being the main organ responsible for exchange, and admittances to both exchange and the university. Additionally, they have a frontline service in the reception area that meets you when you enter the door to SiT in the Clock building. Here they can help you with everything from simple things like finding out how Canvas works, finding a dentist and solving your problems with Lånekassen, to giving advice when you have challenges in your student collective, etc.

After a conversation with Iben Andresen, who works at SiT, I found out that there is nothing you cannot ask about at SiT. They have heard most things before, and have sent students on to student advisers, to the psychologist, on exchange and to the Health Centre, just to mention a few.

According to SiT, it is more common that the students are sent from SiT to the study advisers than the other way around.

Not just student advisers I also asked Iben for her opinion on the student advisors on campus. She is very content with the cooperation, but she thinks they are very busy. The reason for many of the arising problems with the student advisers might simply come from the fact that they do not have enough time. The student advisers have a range of administrative tasks, like organising exams, planning the semester start, case proceedings, and organising Bachelor’s and Master’s theses. In other words, the student advisers are jacks of all trades doing a lot more than guiding students.

“A good study advisor is a person with good social skills, who asks the right questions and knows much more than just their own academic field. It is more about human interaction,” says Stine Telneset, student adviser at the faculty of animal husbandry.

At her faculty, the student advisers are not in a rush. The students are always welcome into her office for a chat. Sigrun Vedø at Realtek feels that a good student adviser is somebody who is available to the students. This is also one of the students’ biggest problems with their advisers, as a recurrent topic in the survey was that they are difficult to reach. Many struggled to get answers via e-mail, and others couldn’t get in touch with their student advisers while on exchange. A queue arrangement is requested, as students have no idea about when they can get the help they need. There is a lot of variation between the faculties as well as between the advisors.

”

We have an academic specialization

Study advising is not an education But what kind of education does a student adviser have? To this Sigrun from Realtek answers: “A lot of people ask, and many think we have some kind of administration background, but we don’t. We have an academic specialisation.” This is the case for most of the student advisers at NMBU, who usually have an academic background similar to that of the students they are counselling. Among the advisers, there are landscape architects, pedagogues, and

others with Bachelor’s or Master’s theses.

“I think it is more important to have a good academic background, one learns the administrative parts by necessity,” Rune Grønnevik says, who is astudent adviser at Realtek. If you wonder about subject combinations and which subjects are fun and worth taking, it is also a good idea to talk to other students in your study program because they have done the subjects and talk out of experience.

Incorrect information After a deep dive into the results of the survey, it became clear that it was not only the same students being sent on who didn’t get the help they needed. Several people complain about getting incorrect information about subject choices, ending up having to take subjects they should have taken earlier when they later were on the Master’s level. Part of the reason for this might be the fact that the student advisers do not only work as student advisers. Even though their main task is to help students with program and subject questions, I have heard from Iben at SiT about student advisers waking their students in the morning and basically acting as a fellow human and support system for the students they are counselling. Then it is not too strange they don’t have enough time to have complete control over everything they are supposed to!

Just ask Despite all the stories of useless student advisers, most students get an answer to what they are wondering about. But the advisers have a lot more than just guidance on their plates, so they might be hard to reach. Their guidance is not really supposed to extend beyond subject choices and approvals, though many of them do a lot more for their students. If you don’t know who can answer your inquiries, a good rule is to begin with SiT, because they have a full overview and know exactly who can help you. And, if you want to know which subjects are fun, interesting and not just important to take, you should ask the older students who have taken the subjects before you. There are many organs on campus whose only task is to help the students, and you should not be afraid of consulting them.

Lemaitre are Masters on Stage

Issue 05 Year 74

Lemaitre is an untraditional band that was created by the electronics duo Ulrik Denizou and Kjetil Jansen in 2010. On the 4th of April, during the Sprellfestivalen, Kjetil is in Los Angeles writing music. Ulrik, on the other hand, sits at Samfunnet i Ås with a beer in hand answering questions for Tuntreet before he and the rest of the band are to take the stage in Aud.Max.

TUNTREET

Was there a thought behind the name “Lemaitre”?

No, there was not really a thought behind it. We were looking for a nice name and came across physicist George Lemaître, who helped develop the Big Bang theory, and thought it was pretty cool. We didn’t actually know that it meant “the master” in French.

How was the electronica duo formed?

The summer after high school neither Kjetil nor I wanted to study, so we decided to take a year off to work with music. In the beginning, we both lived with our parents, which gave us the opportunity to put everything into our music. After a few months, the ball began to roll, and it has just kept speeding up.

Did you receive good support from your parents when you began working with music?

No, not at first. We wondered if we should start playing music; They wondered when and what we were going to study. We thought that, at worst, we could start studying in four years. For us it was either or. We couldn’t both study and do music. So, we chose music and worked hard on it.

Do you have any special rituals before the concert?

We have some intense and internal songs we sing in singsong and that have

appeared during tours. Some are made by us, and others are classics like “What day is it today”. Sometimes we do a little bit of improvisation.

Favorite performance song?

It varies. Today it is “Smoke” and “Fast Lovers”, but it is always fun to play old songs like “Closer”.

How is it to perform for students?

It’s very funny. The student audience is very eager to party. It is also nice to come to Studentsamfunnet where everyone works voluntarily and yet is eager to do a good job. It’s nice to go to student-driven events.

bang. The music is a nice mix of techno and classical instruments. On stage, there is not only an artist, drums, keyboards, bass and guitar, but also a small orchestra of wind instruments. The band has good chemistry on stage; The tones are clean and powerful. It is cramped, damp and festive among the audience. Lots of dancing, arm rocking and good atmosphere, mixed with some good old-fashioned shoving and cheering.

Where is it best to perform, in Norway or abroad?

Both are fun. In Oslo there is a larger audience, but it is easier to joke around when speaking English.

Then one can somehow play a character and joke with the language. It becomes more personal when you speak Norwegian.

In the middle of the performance, the song “ Closer “ takes an unexpected twist.

Suddenly, only the brass instruments are heard. There is confusion on the scene and excitement in the hall. It seems technical problems have arisen. Shit. What to do now? The crowd cheers and whistles. The brass players draw their breaths, lift their trombones and trumpets, and take over the show! Ulrik grabs a pair of drumsticks and jams with the drummer, the rest turning to dance. The audience rejoices. Never have I witnessed such a wonderful technical error.

How many of your concerts are played live?

About 50%. We have a goal of playing everything live, but then there are some things that are not possible to play live. However, some of our songs are only live.

The sound finally comes back, and Lemaitre plays possibly even better than before. All in all, a beautiful concert experience.

A concert with Lemaitre is worth seeing, even if you have not listened that much to the songs before going.

Cheery Chop by S.Lærken

Tanita Skyttermoen Guldbrandsen Journalist Translated By: Hanna Sahlström

Årets beste Lærkerevy (The year’s best Lærkerevy) caught the audience’s attention in it’s green fist right from the first sketch. Like helpless flies in a spider’s web, we could not escape until long into the early morning, as the entranced audience tripped down the spiraling staircase from Bohemen, wondering what had just happened.

P Photo: Anne Guro Røsæg The date on the calendar was 10th of April, and the green light shining out from the windows of Festsalen declared loudly that Sangkoret Lærkens revue was ready for its helpless audience. As tradition calls for, Krokryggene (read: previous members of the choir) warmed up the stage with some classic spasms, while the students and prematurely proud parents flooded in to see what kind of show the oldest choir at NMBU had put together this time around. The previous show was the wellknown UKErevy 2018 App-App-App, where at least 139% of those involved were Lærker.

Ergo, the expectations were sky-high.

Hallelujah, here come the bangs! Luckily the expectations were fulfilled, and even surpassed! S. Lærken delivered a solid revue with a lot of tobacco and locally bound

humor, spiced with a few hilarious highlights that even impressed the choir’s arche enemies in NGA. One of these were the gospel sketch where a young and nervous girl got her bangs chopped while the other bangs in the choir revered the power of the bangs through song, rapping, and whoops of hallelujah. Another of the many highlights was the choir song “Elgen Kåre”, with lovely harmonies and impressive soloists!

at sketches about Dumpster Diving as an Olympic sport, where Rolf from SiÅs took a clean victory before he served up his haul in Cafeklubben. Even Samfunnets fabled prop basement filled of A4 sheets of pictures was symphonized. And do not let us forget “The Support Group for The Knitoholics” where the puns came rolling out like balls of yarn on a crocheted string! Clearly, there was not a lot that had been forgotten by the revue chiefs.

Knitting with Steel Wool Surprisingly, the choir impressed multiple times on the singing front, for example when a woman’s quintet responded to shouts from the audience with a five toned scolding(!), in addition to the the well-choreographed show number about how important it is to be part of a society. The audience roared with laughter

After an especially capturing final sketch, with two-toned singsong, all memories of the rest of the night vanish. Without any doubt, those of us in the audience were hypnotized and lured out into the night by the smoky entourage on stage. If you did not have bangs before seeing Årets beste Lærkerevy, you were guaranteed honored with a set in Bohemen afterwards!

A short distance from NMBU, close to Årungen, is a littl farm where foxes and minks are kept.

These animal species are quickly associated with animal welfare, which in itself is quite a controversial topic. Because of this, many are probably asking what these creatures are doing at a future-oriented university like NMBU? The answer is somewhat more reasonable than fur coats: the minks are mainly being used for testing of food for the fish industry.

Experiment Approved by Mattilsynet Currently, there is a video circulating around online of foxes and minks filmed on the experimental farm owned by NMBU. Over 1000 people have signed a petition against the experiments. The campaign against these trials has described the practice as unnecessary and abusive. NMBU on the other hand defends the experiments; they are approved by Mattilsynet (The Norwegian Food Safety Authority) who make regular visits. When Tuntreet asked NMBU about the farm, we were invited in for a tour.

Necessary Practice According to the campaign, the farm is using minks and foxes to run experiments on animal food. This is partly true. In the experimentation building, there are 40 minks who are being used as test subjects for fish feed but also some dog feed supplements. The technology 12

Issue 05 Year 74

available today is not good enough to allow for testing exclusively in a laboratory setting. This is the basis behind why the fish feed is being tested on the farm. In addition to the minks, there are four 4 silver foxes on the farm that are not a part of these experiments.

Lacking Freedom For those of us who visited the farm, the animals appeared to be in a healthy state, and they had a lot of space to move around in their cages. Still, they lacked freedom. I interviewed a person involved with animal welfare, and they claim that NMBU does not satisfy the animal welfare requirements on this farm. This person, who wishes to remain anonymous, means that these experiments symbolize hypocrisy: “In the area surrounding Årungen, there are several parks for dogs to play in. These minks on the other hand (which are used as test subject for dog food) are being kept in cages”.

Whether it is morally correct to keep animals in cages is a highly disagreed upon subject, which raises a high level of engagement. Those who disagree with this form of animal husbandry should express themselves with accurate facts, and those on the other side of the issue could provide better conditions for the animals.

Dear Thorvald!

A long time ago, God created Adam and Eve. A harmonic duo who together were meant to rule the entire world. As a quick summary, it can be said that the man was half of the creation and half of the power.

When the higher Landbrukshøgskolen in Ås was founded, it was a man’s world. In today’s world, NMBU is a place where the circumstances for men and women are about equally divided.Sadly, this is not reflected by Studentsamfunnet.

The stress factor was high this year at the General Assembly when out of the 17 pre-registered candidates, only 4 were men. It is not only in the boards where the gender balance is “off”, but also among committee chiefs and general involvement, which is dominated by women.

It is a mystery to me why the involvement among men is low. In an otherwise hectic student life, it is important with a neutralizing dose of testosterone to achieve balance.

Reestablishment of the Lactologiske Pselskab On the 17th of May, 2019, The Lactologiske Pselskab will be reestablished by NAVN, NAVN, NAVN and Johanne Østereng Halvorsen, on the exact day 90 years after it first was established by a group of dairy students. With the goddess Lydia as their guardian angel and protector, they have organized diverse cultural events over the past 80 years, before they died out sometime around 2004.

Pselskabet has, as a warm-up, taken part in 3000m beer during the Sprellfestivalen, where the milk was traded out for beer. They wore white lab coats, just like in previous years. “Here at Ås, there is a peculiar practice of dressing those who are the most drunk in white lab coats” a girl once reported. Tuntreet can neither confirm nor deny if the Laktologiske Pselskab were the ones who had been overindulging or not.

Although, Tuntreet has been able to confirm that the first initiation in over a decade will be happening this fall.

Translated By: Hanna Sahlström

I do not think anyone benefits from a gender homogenous board, mostly because they are meant to represent the entire student body.

My challenge to you Thorvald, is to: Get involved!

Tests Reusable Cups Ørjan Olsen Furnes Journalist, photographer and coffee lover

Translated By: Hanna Sahlström (also a coffee lover)

Relatively elegant and stylish design, but it reminds me of the popular S’well - water bottles. It does not have a mechanism for drinking without having to unscrew the lid, and therefore it is more reminiscent of a thermos.

As a thermos, it functions relatively well, but I personally prefer something slightly larger when we are discussing within the category thermos.

Size: 7

Ergonomics: 8

Taste: 8

Wow, the level of style this thermos cup has! A pretty, practical reusable cup recommended especially to those on the hunt for a thermos cup in bottle form, and also works well for cold drinks. For coffee though, it would be ideal to be able to drink from it without having to unscrew the lid.

Les Artistes Bottle up

This is probably the most “mainstream” cup these days, despite rumors of it leaving a metallic taste in your mouth.

I cannot claim to have noticed this characteristic. Apart from that, I felt that this cup was rather large and clumsy, and that the design was alright.

There seemed to be a little heat loss through the lid, and it had similar tendencies, like several other of the cups we tested, to leak if you were not careful to dry off the grooves.

Bodum has really confirmed the saying “too many cooks in the kitchen” with this cup. This is originally a Danish design that has expanded over the entire world. You would almost think that the coffee doesn’t want to tag along for the trip, that is how much this cup leaks. A slightly large reusable cup that, with its thermos-like approach to life, gives off a slight metallic flavor. To be fair, it keeps heat well. I feel sorry for everyone who has this one at home, this is a “no-go”.

Bodum

Thermodynamics: 7 Seal: 3 Esthetics: 6 A well-known type of reusable cup, both in size and style. Sadly, the lid does not fit and the opening has no protection, a great annoyance when you want to bring your beverage with you. It is also poor at holding any heat. The positives with this one; good ergonomics and a colorful design.

This is the classic and simple coffee cup design, very similar to the paper cups you can get ahold of. They are placing a large emphasis on esthetics, which provides a good opportunity for a personal impression. The drawback is obviously that you cannot count on its ability to hold heat or liquid, if exposed to harsh conditions. However, none of these factors cause a realistic problem in day-to-day life.

TUNTREET I immediately expect a lot from a brand known for both its design and quality.

Apparently, there is something off about the vacuum seal as it immediately started leaking tons of warm tea when I flipped it over for the first time. The second time however, I tried having the seal “open” as I was screwing on the lid, and once the lid was on, I closed the seal. This worked, and the cup was sealed tight for the rest of the trial. The design is otherwise relatively stylish, even if it is slightly too big for my taste.

This is a reusable cup reminiscent of the thermos cups at Esso. Neither practical or pretty. The Eva Solo cup leaks quite a bit, and it performs like a worn thermos. On the other hand, it holds heat well.

This cup was incredibly indecisive about whether it wanted to be a thermos or a cup. The fact that the lid has to be unscrewed to drink is both noisy and unpractical, as well as leading to heat loss. Personally, I did not like the shape of this cup or the paintwork, despite the fact that the size is actually quite nice.

Lifeventure is both an impractical, small thermos and an unintelligent reusable cup. To drink from it, you need to screw off the lid just like a regular thermos. This leads to it losing quite a bit of heat, and it also loses points on what would have been a very good seal.

Lifeventure ends up in an undefined category between thermos and reusable cup, and I would not recommend that you use it as for either purpose.

Extra points for the fresh pink color and good ergonomics.

Stylish and elegant, and also subtle.

This thermos cup is “slim” and tall with a matt surface which provides a nice ergonomic, and also allows for it to slip easily into a pocket or a bag. The cup has an unpleasant tendency to leak if you are not extremely careful with keeping the grooves on the inside of the lid dry, and not filling it too much. If you avoid these factors, this cup works relatively well.

No More Buildings Underutilised How can we put underutilised spaces to better use?

By: Idil Akdos and Tony Martel

NMBU’s Untapped Potential Sprawling across a broad stretch of idyllic Ås, NMBU plays host to parks, pastures, ponds, and buildings. Whose domains are these spaces? Who should take ownership?

Think about your average day of classes at NMBU. At 10 AM, students are bustling from one lecture to another. The university seems to have a pulse, but then the clock strikes 16 and students are nowhere to be found. It is quite sad that we do not use the campus to engage in activities that nurture our non-academic identities: art, skills, interests, and merits that make us whole.

There is amazing potential on NMBU’s campus, and its assets can be repurposed to serve multiple functions.

Are Our Buildings Underestimated?

We decided to show other students and ask them: how would you like your campus to be? In an event called Campus Discovery Walk, Design for Society invited students to observe, discuss and reimagine how underutilised spaces on campus can serve their wants and needs. If others had ideas to create an organisation, a club, a workshop or an activity space, participation would be the best tool to voice these ideas.

“There is nothing to keep you on campus, once you get hungry, or tired, no kitchen, kettle or chill out spaces to catch a quick nap” The Campus Discovery Walk On the 6th of March a group of about 25 people gathered outside the Øknomi Building to explore the spaces on campus hidden in plain sight. We started by reviewing Tivoli, Økonomi, Animal Husbandry and Fruit Conservatory buildings. We walked in empty hallways, found dark corners and unused rooms.

Convening in the Fruit Conservatory, we translated our inspirations into ideas. In small groups, we delved into the question “if you had a magic wand to create or change space on campus as you wanted, what would it be?”

Not surprisingly, others wanted to spend more time on campus, too. Emphasis was on facilitating a sense of koselig, and crafting liveliness and purpose to create meeting places. The benefit lies in bringing together students from different disciplines who would not otherwise cross paths to initiate dialogue. This cultivates awareness of the diverse resources within NMBU’s network, in terms of people, skills and knowledge.

The students need to get involved in what campus looks like. Only in this way can we make an Ås where students are engaged and happy together!

“When you go home from campus, you don’t come back, you can’t be bothered.”

Campus Commons During the workshop, several recurring ideas surrounded the themes of “workshopping spaces, for wood working, repair, brewing, art and crafts”, “food commons, a café to have student community kitchens for cooking, homesteading, preserving food, baking”, and “rest and play spaces, to meet, relax, play games, watch movies, where people can use the place to make snacks or drinks”. The outcome of this workshop was a collective desire to create “campus commons” where students can interact outside of class. A space that is accessible

to everyone, also the town residents beyond campus. Benefits include cultivating a sense of belonging (goodbye loneliness and isolation), co-creating value and initiating dialogue (hello interdisciplinarity), and giving life to otherwise boring facilities that can foster the diversity of students on campus.

A Call to Our Fellow Students NMBU can give students a seat at the table for decision making when repurposing underutilised spaces to improve our collective well-being.

This is a call to students to take ownership of their campus and make their voices heard. We can create vibrant, active and energizing spaces on campus that will address our wants and needs.

What are you ideas? Let’s hear them!

Design for Society has taken the initiative to get campus users involved in assessing the value of our campus and would like to ask you.

What do you want to see on campus?

What would make this place more alive?

After all, NMBU is Norway’s university of life sciences. Let’s make a campus for the commons that is alive with students, town residents, and faculty.

Plastics Recycling on Campus: How “Green” is NMBU?

Plastic cups and plates. Plastic cutlery. Styrofoam take-away containers.

Chiara Magboo Journalist and photographer

What do these items have in common?

Well, these are all examples of single-use, or disposable, plastics – items that are only meant to be used once before being thrown away or recycled.

Plastic waste and pollution have been identified by many countries as a growing environmental problem. Only a few weeks ago, the European Union parliament voted overwhelmingly in favour of banning single-use plastics.

All of the example items listed above, all can

18

Issue 05 Year 74

be found right here on NMBU’s campus.

Just before Easter Break, I sat down for a brief chat with Stian Stensland, Associate Professor in the Faculty of Environmental Sciences and Natural Resources. As a member of the school’s teaching staff, Stenland shared some observations about recycling at NMBU. “I guess, like many employees and students at this university who are environmentally concerned or aware… I think we should behave in an environmentally friendly way and be sustainable”, Stenland says. “We are quite often promoted as a sustainability university, and I think millennial students perceive this university that way too, and are very into sustainability sciences and

issues. And of course you can question, what do we do at this university? Do we do enough?”

During a visit to Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences (INN) in Lillehammer last autumn, Stenland noticed a large presence of recycling trashbins for different types of waste. Additionally, he took note of the school’s environmental psychology program whose master’s students had recently designed a system to improve waste sorting and recycling around their university’s campus.

“They had more recycling than we do here”, Stenland remarked. “Since we are ‘the green university’, when it comes to trashcans and

TUNTREET recycling, I would expect or would like to see us be as good as the two other universities [referring to the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences (NIH) in Oslo, which Stenland also visited recently], because we are the green university – and they are not.”

in the year, the Environmental Council had stated that recycling in student areas and the cafeterias would be a priority: “At Campus Ås there has been a considerable increase in the number of waste stations in the public areas”, the report states. “Most have fractions for paper, plastic and residual waste.”

”

So, how does NMBU compare when it comes to recycling plastics?

Pro-Rector Solve Sæbø, who is also the leader of the university’s Environmental Council, states that recycling and plastic are included in NMBU’s environmental goals and current action plans. When asked about single-use plastics and their presence on campus, the pro-rector shared the following: “The plastics in the cafeterias are made of biodegradable plastic and can be recycled as food waste. We have planned this together with SiÅs in 2016.”

The appendix of an annual report published by the university provides other information about recycling at NMBU. According to this, NMBU has containers for sorting ‘agricultural plastic’, which made up 11 tonnes of sorted waste in 2017. Earlier

We are the green university – and they are not

Interestingly, last year a discussion began between some students and the university administration about creating a space on campus dedicated to plastic recycling.

Inspired by the open source community project “Precious Plastic”, the three students (of the International Environment and Development Studies bachelor’s program) have received funding from NMBU to build two machines that enable smallscale plastic recycling. The machines are scheduled to be completed by the end of this summer.

“We are looking for motivated people to join us,” says Maya Lindemann, a member of the group. “There are several exciting possibilities and a lot to learn!” While the proposed workspace on campus will not be moving forward at this point, the students have continued expanding their project into Oslo, reaching out to other stakeholders and creating a registered nonprofit organization, “ProsjektPlast”.

Despite these encouraging points, some in the NMBU community still point out a seeming lack of plastic recycling units around campus, including in high-traffic buildings such as Sørhellinga. However, the administration responds that there is an action plan to cover these areas.

Overall, then, it may be said that the university continues to make strides towards environmental sustainability. Yet there is also still some way to go in terms of fully living up to its reputation as Norway’s ‘green’ university. Plastics recycling is only one such issue. What will it be next?

A joint at an afterparty, horror stories in the media, stories from family and acquaintances, or that weary guy at Oslo S. Drugs is a topic we often come across, but not so often talk about. Many have strong experiences with drugs that make it an emotional theme. This, together with the legality established in the Drug Regulation, makes it difficult to have an open conversation about substances other than alcohol and nicotine. We therefore wanted to investigate the relationship that Ås students have with illegal drugs. 257 people responded to a survey that we made and shared on Facebook, and here are some of the results of the survey.

Who, what, when?

It seems that most students have strong prejudices against the Handelshøyskolens (the business school’s) use of intoxicants.

Nearly half of all responses believed that the School of Business was the faculty with the highest use of intoxicants, and only 4% thought that KBM had the highest share.

It turns out that Handelshøyskolen has the highest proportion of people who have tried or used drugs. Also, contrary to what most people believed; the distribution is fairly even between the faculties. Life sciences appears to be the faculty with the fewest people who have tried / used drugs.

Criminal or what?

In recent years, view on drugs, and especially cannabis, have seen major political shifts around the world. There has been a wave of decriminalization and legalization across the Western world. Several states in the US now have legalized medical cannabis, and several states have also legalized recreational use. Canada has also recently legalized cannabis. Several countries in Europe have also decriminalized the use of cannabis and other drugs. With its decriminalization of user doses (of all substances), Portugal has managed to reduce drug use and the number of overdoses without penalizing the user.

“A good friend, but a dangerous lord” Some believe that drugs can be used for personal growth, such as natural medicine, or just for fun. However, we cannot help but talk about the dark side of drugs. Our survey shows that about half have experienced that friends, family or acquaintances have had/have problems with substance abuse. In addition, almost 40% have had other negative experiences where intoxication has been involved. 5.9% of students who have responded have also experienced problems with substance abuse.

“A good friend, but a dangerous lord” This was written by a person who answered the survey. Several of the substances mentioned in this article are addictive and have destroyed many lives. It can be easier than one thinks to end up having a bad relationship with drugs. Psychoactive substances can change how you perceive the world and how you behave in it. It should not be taken for granted that you can control your own consumption. It is not always easy to see when you or a friend have a drug problem. If you were to realize that you or a friend has a drug problem, there is help. It is important to ask for help and to help fight the stigma around drugs.

It seems that Ås students, like the government, think a drug reform should be on its way. A large proportion of the students have responded that they support decriminalization, legal medical, completely legal, or a combination of these. Some have also specified that they are open to legalization with strong state control. These results may not be surprising when one knows that cannabis is the most commonly used drug among students.

Eco-friendly sex The environmentalist debate has snuck in everywhere, including the bedroom.

Not good enough All contraceptives are incredibly good for the environment, as they contribute to slow down the population growth, but green sex is trending and there is always room for improvement! It turns out that oestrogen in hormone based contraception does not only affect the human body, but escapes into water and soils through urine and can impact fish and other organisms’ behaviour and reproductive abilities. Most condoms contain dubious chemicals and are not biodegradable or reusable. Many sex toys are battery driven and made with phthalates, a plasticiser that can harm both reproductive abilities and the environment.

What can one use then?

One can use condoms without lousy chemicals, like for instance “Faire Squared condoms.” They are made out of 100%

The most natural contraceptive, for those who are in stable relationships and like planning, are “natural family planners” and “fertility computers”. These methods consist in estimating the woman’s fertile days.

For those of us who are not so structured and like to have sex when we want to, there is the copper spiral, the pessary and female condoms. The copper spiral kills the sperm, contains no hormones and lasts for 5 years.

Pessaries are cup shaped rubber, which is put into the vagina before sex and can be used again and again. Female condoms are condoms made for women, covering the cervix the same way as the pessary. Female condoms are for onetime use, and protect

against STDs. You don’t have to buy lube at Kondomeriet (sex shop), you can find a lot of exciting alternatives in your own kitchen! Among other things, coconut oil, yoghurt and eggwhite! The internet is full of good DIY tips for lube.

Sex toys can be found in rechargeable versions, without phthalates! The phthalates are not always marked on the products but a rule of thumb is to go for the hard products.

Dear students, make natural, safe and good sexual choices, and do not hesitate to take a walk in the forest for inspiration, peace of mind or just have some proper green sex.

On Thursday the 25th of April, Fashion Revolution Norway was arranged by Spire Ås, Budeieforeninga i Ås and a number of other organizations. The Fashion Revolution Market at Samfunnet took us on a journey to both the past and future all at the same time.

Obligatory Attendance: Students are SATISFIED! Tuntreet no. 4 contained an interesting article about obligatory attendance.

This was based on the questionnaire of which 114 of NMBU’s 5200 students responded to. (Meaning, 2% have responded and 98% did not respond).

This investigation concludes that a large majority of students do not like obligatory attendance and do not feel that this benefits their learning. I would like to contribute more statistics of the same quality, but with a different result: FYS101 Mekanikk is a course taken by many engineering students at REALTEK and KBM. The course has obligatory practices every week throughout the course.

During the lecture on Tuesday, we had a vote concerning obligatory attendance.

95% of the students raised their hands in support of obligatory attendance, and 5% of the students raised their hands when asked if they did not like obligatory attendance.

There was the market, the lounge with stands and snacks and a room with a table to mend clothes and other items. Gathered around the table, there were many experienced ladies from Ås Husflidslag, who helped and guided everybody who needed some support when mending their jeans, fixing their socks, sewing on a buttom or any other thing needing mending.

talk, it emerges from Tore that it is more like a flat democracy. He refers to the internal relationship of the group as “ Karl Marx ‘s wet dream “.

Who has the most Tinder-matches?

“What is Tinder? Don’t need help from Tinder with the ladies”. I admire the confidence for a small second and look curiously over at Kiddo Kæsh who has admitted a strong preference for wine and Tinder in his budget. «20 likes since I came to Ås! Haven’t done any swiping, but I have Tinder Gold so I can see all the matches”, he says.

It is Friday the 6th of April and we have come to the fifth day of the Sprellfestivalen 2019! This night it is Kriminell Kunst’s turn to be on stage, a rap duo that consists of Tore Pang and Wayne Jenzky.

I enter a back room at Café Klubben where I find Kriminell Kunst preparing for the evening’s concert. Kriminell Kunst started their career in Stavanger and have worked their way up from the local house parties to the stage at various hip hop-festivals.

Kriminell Kunst has also brought a few artists that are signed by a record label that they themselves run. Among these, it is Kiddo Kæsh and Guerra who make the most out of themselves.

Kriminell Kunst seems happy to be in Ås and worked with the structure of the evening’s concert throughout the interview.

Do you work full time or are you just criminals?

Here it is revealed that the guys are not only artists, but also run a small record label in Stavanger. They have brought along two rappers who have been signed by the company to warm up the audience before 30 Issue 05 Year 74

the evening’s concert. In a little digression it emerges that Kiddo Kæsh, one of the signed artists, also works 70% in Stavanger, but spends much of his budget on wine and Tinder Gold. I got curious and asked if there is a correlation between the wine and Tinder but am faced with a confused look and some laughter.

How satisfied are you with Østlandet?

“It’s a lot cooler here than all other places ... not really.”

The boys are not very impressed by what Eastern Norway has to offer, but after a brief digression is clear that hamburger restaurants are something they really appreciate.

How much can you benchpress?

Kiddo Kæsh is quick to let me know that he used to work out a lot. Tore Pang comes with: “at least 20! “. He is quickly surpassed

by Wayne Jenzky who says he is at least does 25; always doing five more!“ Who is the boss in the relationship? “ Tore, from the outside”, Wayne exclaims, but after some discussion and further

What are you thinking about tonight’s concert?

After a little back and forth among the guys, everyone in the room agrees that the evening’s concert will be good. There is a good atmosphere and Kiddo Kæsh promises something wild with bursting with life!

Kriminell Kunst say that the audience is very involved in influencing how the show will be on stage and they have a good feeling that Ås’ students are able to contribute to a win-win situation.

TUNTREET happily explain this absurd event. After a brief explanation, Tore breaks out “Hell to the fucking no”, but Wayne seems a bit more positive and wonders when it is. Unfortunately, it does not appear that the time is suitable, so I suggest, of course, head torches and seven beers after tonight’s concert so that Kriminell Kunst also get to see what Ås culture has to offer.

What would you be if you weren’t artists?

Here, the two warm-up artists are beginning to joke that if they were not rappers they would have ended up in prison. A clever smile pops up on Tore’s face from Kriminal Kunst who says that they would have been the prison guards who looked after Kiddo and Guerra .

Do you use tuning forks before you go on stage?

There are a few seconds of silence and I feel that everyone in the room looks a little strangely at me before I get a question in return: “What is a tuning fork?»

After a brief explanation it turns out that the criminals have worked with these before, but that it is not part of the warm-up routine.

What is the sickest thing you have done for a beer?

Several of the guys say they have stolen a beer on occasion, but the story that stands out the most is that one of the rappers have gone out of the smoke room and stolen beer from people that have put theirs down while they are in the smoke room. Again, I get a question in return: “ We have beer here, what is the worst thing you would do for a lager?» It takes a couple of seconds before I realize my mistake by asking this

question at the very end, since I could have gotten a beer much earlier in the interview.

I thank them and wish Kriminell Kunst the best of luck with tonight’s concert before I leave the little room. With the promise of a good atmosphere and a great commitment to the crowd, I have a feeling that this will be a good evening at Samfunnet.

If you do not use a tuning fork, what is the warm up routine?

Here there are many answers. It varies from “Checking the sound” and “drinking beer” to “writing tonight’s songs”. One of the cooler things to pop up here was that Kriminell Kunst started as a group that sang at home parties with sound systems, so beers and partying have always been a part of the warm-up. Ironically, it is also one of the guys, (who seems to have drunk the most) who says that one must not be too drunk before going on stage.

You spent 20k on weapons for a music video. Was it a good investment?

Two Beers with our own Kristian Haraldsen - A Jack of all trades like no other

32 Utgåve 05 Årgang 74

The official nametag as the Jack of all trades of Tuntreet, reveals only a fraction of Kristian Haraldsen’s involvement in the student paper.

Even though he has been a part of the editorial staff ever since his first year at Ås, this is the first “Two beers” interview for both Kristian and me. We sit down in Caféklubben, where the photo exhibition that he has been working with is displayed, and I get to hear about a strong passion for Tuntreet, the photo club and other creative ideas and initiatives.

Kristian enrolled here at NMBU as a city- and region planning student, but he changed to machine, process- and product development already half a year later. He missed doing math and after some persuasion from his buddy Tord, it all fell into place. Now he is writing his Master’s thesis and can look back at his time at Ås, filled with a lot of creativity and dedication. He has not been active in any social society, but has been a huge contributor to both Tuntreet and the Photo club.

Tuntreet Kristian officially became a member of Tuntreet during his second semester in Ås, but wrote his first article for Tuntreet already the previous fall. This was decided during a Tuntreet pregame, and even though we all know that “good deals” are often made in these situations, he actually went through with it. He officially joined the next semester as photographer and journalist. Later, the time had come to choose a new editor. He was asked if he wanted to run for election, and first declined. However, when someone commented that “Yes, you are maybe not the right person for this”, he changed his mind.

“Then I just had to try”, he said eagerly. And he did not only run for election, he won as well!

the game page an American touch. “The time went by horribly fast! It was like a short vacation trip”. He meets the friends he made there annually at the Octoberfest in München and for the Dutch National Day in Holland.

They were also recently visiting Norway, and they got to see what Ås has to offer, amongst other stuff the outdoor cinema arranged by Kristian himself.

being an editor is time consuming, so in the beginning the gaming society Kort og Bredt took care of it. When the gaming society had had enough, and Kristian was done as editor, he took over the post himself. “There have been some angry letters from readers when there have been mistakes in the quiz or in the crossword, but I enjoy such things! It only shows that people care.” In his opinion the game page is important because it can be a highlight in the day-to-day life for tired students. He imagines students thinking, “Maybe I cannot solve this task, but I could at least pick up Tuntreet and solve this crossword!” However, the game page is now endangered! Since this is Kristian’s last semester, and he is currently the only one with responsibility for the page, someone is needed to take over the responsibility.

“Ideally, we would have 10-15 people to take over”, he says humorously. “No, I’m just kidding, we probably won’t need that many, but I really wish someone would take the responsibility”. Nevertheless, he is not willing to tell me how he makes the different games. “That is top secret!”

“To touch the magazine and what has been created, is amazing!”, says Kristian when I ask if there is something that he wants to highlight about being an editor. “I like how Tuntreet gives room for making your own decisions.

It gives motivation and even more joy over the result.” As editor he became dedicated to layout and continued there after he was done with his position. He also wanted to bring more humour to the magazine, and together with his co-editor Lars Raaen he made the first edition of Tun og Tre. Kristian also wanted to document society life and all the events held in Ås. He covered multiple events for TT-TV, and they are still available on the YouTube Exchange and outdoor cinema channel “Tuntreet studentavis”.

Even when he was on exchange, he didn’t leave Tuntreet at home. He imagined being Responsible for the game page some sort of foreign correspondent for Kristian also initiated the game page. Tuntreet, but restricted himself to giving Primarily, he wanted to do it on his own, but

“Outdoor cinema was born after a whim to buy a projector,” he explains the background for the event. He built and sewed the canvas himself. It was organized for the third time this spring and has become a social tradition with the flatmates. “One challenge is the Norwegian climate. In November it was snowing awfully, so we screened “Jul I Flåklypa”, which went very well with the surroundings, since it was snowing more and more also in the movie. It became a 4D experience”, he smiles.

The Photo club The sewing machine has also been put to use at other occasions. The Photo club was near shutdown in 2017, but he and some buddies took responsibility and got it back on its feet again. It currently has around 80 members, and this year’s photo exhibition was organized for the third semester in a row and exhibited photos from 30 contributors. Kristian has been in charge of the exhibitions, and wants to ignite some interest around it. “It is nice to bring out some interest in photography here in Ås and make some cultural contributions.”

For the newest exhibition he sewed the back carpets for the pictures and put together a big opening. There was champagne and a DJ, and the audience could vote for the picture they liked the best.

TWO BEERS The interest in photography is what has had the biggest impact on Kristian. He can say that he has been dedicated to a lot of different stuff, but photography is something he wants to continue with. Before he came to Ås, he spent a year at a folk high school in Oslo where he attended a course specializing in video and photography.

He had never done anything like it before, but simply bought a camera and moved to the capital.

The Darkroom After he came to Ås, his interest for analogue cameras increased. Now he spends every Monday in the Darkroom - they call it “Darkroom Monday” - in the basement of Inferno, developing pictures. He says that there are often other people with him, and it gives some extra pleasure to develop analogue pictures. “You have fun when you take the photos, when you develop them, and when you excitedly get to see the result and get to show it to your friends.”

Kristian’s passionate dedication here in Ås has made its mark. He has been contributing to the development of Tuntreet as a photographer, journalist, layout co-worker, video photographer, game page maker and editor. The Photo club has blossomed and spread culture and photo joy. Kristian hopes that someone will continue what he started, and puts special emphasis on the game page in Tuntreet. “Maybe make a separate committee? The application is in May!” he says jokingly before we call it a day.

TUNTREET

Greetings from the editors Kristian Haraldsen is a unique contributor to Tuntreet. Not a lot of people have as much experience in the paper as this quiet guy from Herøyholmen. The way Kristian has left his mark on Tuntreet through more than a student generation deserves way more attention and gratitude than the man himself is comfortable with. Where others have unfurled themselves on the scene covered with glitter and sequins and raised their voice to a level requiring hearing protection, desperate for attention, Haraldsen has diligently stayed put behind the lens and the note pad. Night after night, year after year, and UKE after UKE. It was a true pleasure cooperating with a feinschmecker like Kristian. With vegan gay sex-cruises and the hardest parties the TT editorial staff have ever experienced, we created the first, real edition of the hit Tun & Tre. If journalism should become a path to follow in your future work life, call me!

Greetings from your co-editor Lars Raaen.

Kristian notices every detail, and always comes up with exciting ideas. He knows how to include all the new people in the editorial staff, and gladly shares from his various experiences. As good at partying as he is at editing, and always with a sly smile. Thank you for your solid effort in Tuntreet all these years. Tuntreet would not have been the same without you.

Big hug from Jardar and Julie

Greetings from friends

Lucky for us, you started in the wrong field of study. After all, we would never have gotten to know someone studying machines.

We dig you for being the kind of guy arranging movie nights with fresh waffles, vintage mokkamaster-coffee, a homemade movie canvas and Huawei commercials.

What a film experience! Even though you enjoy arranging everything, it is clear how concerned you are that we are entertained and in good company.

Kristian, you are this calm guy, always sticking up for your friends. You gladly volunteered to speak in front of the entire GF when Tord, as a freshman, decided to run for election. You yourself became editor the year after. What would Tuntreet have been the last couple of years without your efforts?

The laid back-ness put aside, we have wiped puke and leaked water from broken toilets.

And since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s you, we would gladly do it again if the situation would arise. Liquids, photo room and drunkenness, is there some connection here?

Great guy! Come to Oslo, so that we get to see you more often.

Sweet mix of sweet music

Anny Qvale Journalist

Translated By: Hanna Sahlström Hanna Bruun Tørnby Photographer

During this year’s FF-varieté Åsblæst’n once again proved that preparation pays off! On Sunday the 7th of April, they served up an especially entertaining concert, as well as an overflowing selection of cakes and interesting contributions from Sangkoret Lærken.

You might have experienced being woken up in the small hours of the morning by an obnoxiously unpolished ruckus?

Blæst’ns less than popular wake-up call in Pentagon has probably contributed to a slight irritation among already sleepdeprived students. Therefore, the FF-varieté is the perfect opportunity to bring balance back to the universe. The best (and only) marching band at Ås can not only play loudly, but also spectacularly when the right effort is put in.

36 Issue 05 Year 74

An impressive mix This year’s varieté was called “Pick and Mix” – a theme that basically can contain anything and does not place any restrictions on the content. Therefore, a solid and varied selection of musical numbers were performed in Festsalen that night. The breaktime entertainment and the work as masters of ceremony was provided by Lærken, as per usual. Both can easily be summed up with the word witty.

The student marching band’s tendency towards going their own way and not always following conductor’s instructions or pre-arranged playlist also contributed to livening up the experience.

“I am not Beethoven” After the Blæstere had familiarly marched

in onstage, the music performance also started with something familiar (and to many loved): An ABBA medley! Here it was made clear already during “The Winner Takes It All”, that marching band music can definitely give you goose bumps. What followed after was the renowned “Live and Let Die”, and suddenly, one of the most entertaining qualities of the evening occurred. That is, the surprise numbers!

All of a sudden, the band switched to completely different music than what both the conductor and audience expected, clearly hinting that they like to go their own way. The entertainment aspect became more visual when a homemade sign started to appear around the marching band – where it was made clear that the person carrying the sign was not among music

TUNTREET

Lesser Known Ingredients The previously mentioned James Bond title song was followed by the Norwegian film music, “Svalbardtema”. This piece was overall nicely performed, even though the musicians took the freedom to demonstrate some Lærkesounds by drunk songbirds, afterparty situations and possible horizontal activities. At risk of breaking the speed limit, “Klezmer Karneval” was the final example of dynamic tempo variation before the audience was given some appreciated room to breathe. During the intermission, Sangkoret Lærken put on a small performance that helped the audience reset from orchestral grandness back to their normal standard.

Sail their own sea A cake-stuffed audience was further entertained with the performance of the two completely different pieces. Namely “A Leroy Anderson Portrait” (lighter orchestral popular music) and “Baby One More Time” (90s pop). The second mentioned had, among other things, an enchanting insert of music from The Lord of the Rings.

The surprises did not end there; later on, a chuckling conductor threw up her hands in surrender, admitting defeat when the marching band rose to their feet in the middle of their performance of “Fame” and started competing about who could reach the highest note.

Runs off the farm to the end station The concert chugged on with “The Great Locomotive Chase”, the bands final number. Some maybe thought that the fun was now over, as the show drew to a close. They were happily mistaken.

Of course, there was a clever, yet fitting insert of Tomas the Tank Engine’s theme song. In this day and age, tossing in extra numbers has become the norm rather than the exception, so the show ended with the marching band’s signature melody about ice cream and crying. At the same time, a slightly overexcited trombone decided to demonstrate what forte fortissimo stands for! All in all, Åsblæst’n delivered a stunning concert. No other conclusion can be made than to look forward to the next time!

CRIME

A delayed easter crime story:

Who stepped in the field?

Christine Copeland Journalist

Oda Braar Wæge Illustrator

Translated By: Inga Haugdahl Solberg

A pair of sneakers make deep marks in the soil, and sweep over small tussocks on their way up. The cold wind blowing makes the mud solidify. Nobody is to be seen; only the sun bidding its farewell as it sinks down behind the hill. The sky is coloured blood red and sets a dramatic tone to the little student society. Dramatic is also the proper word to describe how the still moist soil pulls the feet downward. The culprit is struggling ahead, but has a hard time getting their shoes with them. A stinging pain in their ankle flares up for every step taken. Is this the punishment for taking a shortcut across the field between Eika and Pentagon?

A calm sleep is interrupted by faint bird chirping and a hint of blue coming through the delicate, green curtains. It is Saturday morning, and the student village bears a clear mark of the long previous night. There are no loud conversations outside, nor any buzzing murmurs. Lauritz sorrowfully rubs his eyes, before plodding outside. It is a bit lonely, but still so beautiful to be alone on the road and hear the sound of the whirling wind and the grass growing. The spring sunshine has already heated the ground after a somewhat chilly night, but some small particles of frost shine like crystals by the wayside. He passes the hill; the hills covered by green fields and small cabins 38 Issue 05 Year 74

in the distance. Then he sees it: footprints outside the path edges, footprints that shouldn’t be there, footprints that weren’t there the day before. It is not like him to speak up, but it has been April for a long time already, and the footprints should not be there. The criminal will be hard to find, so he considers dropping this hunt. A lot of people walk between Pentagon and Eika every day, and he doesn’t know all of them.

Still, he has his student collective: AnneSofie, Ramón, Sissel and Magdalena. Could the criminal be one of them?

“Hey!” A roaring voice abruptly wakes up Anne-Sofie. An upset voice carries through the door and into a head full of yesterday’s drunkenness and party. Her feet are aching, her ankle feels sore. Have

I broken something? She grimaces as she puts her foot down a bit too hard on the concrete floor. It is cold, and every step she takes is a painful affair. I must have sprained my ankle. She trudges out into the kitchen. Lauritz has gathered everybody for a meeting. “What’s up?” she asks with a groggy voice, and stretches her arms up to the sky. “Somebody has walked in the field,” Lauritz answers, upset. “So? Not that big a deal, is it,” she answers, irritated, and rolls her eyes. “But it’s prohibited.” The others defend Lauritz. Anne-Sofie sighs, and sits down next to them. “What do you suggest that we do?” she grunts and supports her head with her arm. Lauritz sighs. “I don’t know. I just want to find the culprit.”

Ramón suddenly stands up, and shrugs his shoulders. “I have volleyball practice,” he mumbles and gets his trainers in the hallway. “At Eika?” “Yes (…),” Ramón answers sourly. “(…) and I am late!” He runs out the door, and quickly paces down the stairs. The others follow him with their eyes as he runs towards the garbage containers by the exit. “Is it quicker to cross the field to go to Eika?” Lauritz asks.

He takes a sip from his tea and mumbles intelligibly. “Didn’t this happen yesterday?”

Sissel asks, irked. Lauritz doesn’t answer, and turns away to avoid her eyes. Her reflection in the window suggests that she

is tired of his ideas. “Moreover, it’s not that much quicker. Nobody crosses the field on their way to Eika!” she continues, knowing that he stopped listening even before she started the sentence. “I can’t be bothered with this,” she suddenly says after a long and awkward silence. She turns on her heel and walks into her room. The others do the same.

The silence doesn’t last long. Anne-Sofie jogs back into the kitchen. “Have you seen a grey glove?” she asks, somewhat stressed.

“Thin. I lost it last night,” she continues as she walks back to her room to look through the crumpled-up clothes in her closet.

Lauritz shakes his head and stirs the cup of tea in front of him.

It gets warmer throughout the day, and the air fills with pollen and the smell of cut grass. “I’m just gonna get my bike,” Sissel shouts and turns towards Magdalena. As

they pass the train station, she takes a bypass to the bicycle racks. “I forgot my bike here last night,” she continues laughing before bending over the front wheel. Seconds later, she appears next to Magdalena, wobbly on her bike seat. “My sister was in Oslo, but she left early. Had to catch a flight,” Sissel continues. “Is she still studying in England?”

Magdalena asks. Sissel nods. Magdalena interrupts her with a yawn. “Excuse me, I am just so tired,” Magdalena sighs and rubs her eyes. “Yeah, how was the birthday party yesterday?” Sissel asks enthusiastically. “Not worth a good night’s sleep. I wasn’t home until half past three!” Magdalena laughs.

Her laughter is quickly followed by a sigh, and she rubs her eyes again.

Ramón gazes at the shoe racks by the front door, and fixes his eyes on his muddy shoes. The mud has solidified, and falls off in flakes when he picks them up. He walks out onto the balcony with his shoes dangling from the heel cups, and hits them hard against each other over the railing.

He walks in again and sighs. The saucepan from yesterday’s dinner is still in the sink, and he shuffles over to the kitchen to do the dishes. They had been sitting around the living room table jabbering – him and his friends – in the afternoon and into the evening. They had gone outside to enjoy the afternoon sun and a crimson sky, and listened to the laughter from the lawn below.

Sissel is biking towards Eika on her way

to practice. The darkness is covering the student village like a carpet, but there is still lights in the windows of the gym. She discerns an irregularity on the asphalt as she locks her bike at Eika. It is crumpled and dirty after the wind’s rampages, but she brushes off the dust and looks for a nametag.

Anne-Sofie. It is Anne-Sofie’s glove; the one she lost yesterday. She brushes it again, and puts it in her pocket.

“Are you missing a glove?” she asks when she meets Anne-Sofie in the stairway, waving the glove in the air. Anne-Sofie nods cheerfully when she sees it. “Thank you,” she says, snatching it out of Sissel’s hand and walks on up the stairs to the apartment.

She turns around and stops, looks down at Sissel who is still standing on the floor below. “I must have lost it yesterday on my way home from Samfunnet,” she continues.

A deep nocturnal sleep is again interrupted by light sunrays coming through the curtains. Through the window, the wind is howling. The metal is jingling and the leaves are rustling. Lauritz opens the door to the common area, and the smell of waffles oozes in. The others are in the kitchen, waiting excitedly. “Do you want a waffle?”

Magdalena asks cheerfully. He yawns and stands next to the fuming waffle iron. He smiles dully and fumbles with his words.

How to say this? “I know who stepped in the field,” he mumbles.

Do you also knows who walked in the field? Send your suggestion to tuntreet@samfunnetiaas.no.

“There is no elevator to success.

You have to take the stairs” Jardar Lindaas Bringedal Journalist

Stairs are not only a piece of a construction, they are an essential organ in the building. Without them, it would have been impossible to get in, up, down and out. Here you will be presented with a small selection of the stairs at Campus Ås.

All stairs are an entrance or an exit from one floor to another. They have been companions of humans ever since the need to build in more than one level presented itself. However, the function of stairs goes way beyond enabling the displacement of a body in space. It is a meeting place and a place for goodbyes, a place for contemplation, lovemaking, murder and play.

The stairs are often the first piece of a building one meets and really gets close to. The shape of a staircase is important to preserve mobility and security. This is best achieved by using a standard staircase formula and a universal design.

Nevertheless, one should not be afraid to make stairs that play with our senses.

In our lives, stairs are everywhere, and in this article we have looked at some of the staircases that the students at Campus Ås use on a daily basis. In our daily life time is often short, frequently on the run in some staircase to reach an appointment.

After having read this article, you may get a new perspective of the stairs in your life, and stop to chat with and old friend or proclaim your love for a very special person – in a staircase. Or as Aristotle would put it if he were alive today: “Step by step in the staircase of life”.

Here you have a very controversial staircase.

Some people love the long surfaces and the leisurely mount, but who have got the time to walk up or down these stairs? If you take one step at a time you’ll never reach the top, if you take two steps at a time one would have to take way too long strides - then it doesn’t help that the height is small.

This is something that probably never crossed your mind before, but this staircase is extremely steep!

A rainy day with a tight schedule can also lead to bumps and bruises., with half an auditorium as audience. Literally a death-trap. Don’t go there!

This staircase gives you the feeling of travelling back to the university’s past. The very nice instep-height ratio makes the staircase pleasant to walk in – as long as you are going down. If you are on your way to lecture Monday morning at eight o’clock, it might feel like walking up a mountain. Lill Katrin Gorseth made this remark about the staircase, “To walk all the way to the third floor is like a workout at Eika.” The bonus with this staircase is that one can walk all the way to the fourth floor and take a look at the backside of the clock. The liberating feeling the view gives you on your way from lecture cannot be challenged by any other staircase we have seen.

Dancing back into the previous decade Jane Bergan Journalist

On March 29th, DÅs hosted the show “2000s called, they want their Nokia back” followed by the theme party “The millenniums” at Samfunnet.

There was no shortage of neither denim, crop tops nor nostalgia when the dance group took us back to a slightly lighter time for the evening.

As soon as we entered Festsalen we were, with help from artists such as Nicole Scherzinger , Beyoncé, Shakira, Gwen Stefani and Coldplay, transported back to a time most people might want to forget.

Students had dressed appropriately for the era, and I’m convinced I saw more flared trousers and T-shirts under spaghetti strap tops in ten seconds than I have done for the last ten years.

DÅs set then mood right from the first second, thanks to the wellknown Bazooka Boombox which used to stand in every classroom ever.

Lower your shoulders; it will be alright!

Getting a job after graduating can be difficult. So, what can be better than listening to someone who has walked the walk before you?

On the 9th of April, a fair number of former students came back to Ås and told their stories of their way out into the working life during the event Ås-så-videre (Ås-so-on).

The event was held by Næringslivutvalget (NU) at NMBU and was a great way to get to know more about how the time after graduating might look.

Get engaged!

During the evening many tips and tricks were given on how to end up with the “dream job”. Everything from simple measures like contacting the HR people to stand out more in the huge application stack, to more overarching things like keeping your head up and not giving up.

A recurrence from the Ås trotters was the old mantra that everyone has heard from taking their first steps here at the Agronomymetropole: “Get involved!”.

Perhaps not surprising from a bunch of speakers who have been high and low in various offices throughout their studies.

Nevertheless, one got a completely different view of the importance of this when they

explained how it had helped them through application processes, network building and how it actually helped them end up where they are today.

Everything will be alright!

A sigh of relief could be heard in Halvor’s room after several of the speakers revealed that it had not only gone smoothly for them either. They had also experienced getting rejection after rejection, not to have got relevant summer jobs or to sit there in the master thesis mist and not understand how it would go.

A success All in all, the evening was a very nice affair.

It was good attendance, interesting lecturers and good atmosphere. Cecilie Augensen Nilsen, manager of Næringslivutvalget at NMBU, had this to say about the evening: “This event was a success and one should not ignore the fact that Ås-so-so becomes an annual event going forward. NU is working strategically to be able to offer several varied career-promoting events for any NMBU student. »

Did you know that…?

NU is a body under the Student Society in Ås and is the link between NMBU’s students and the business community.

NU’s surplus goes directly to Samfunnet i Ås and is a great source of income for the Student Society. The money NU makes go straight to the students.

15% of NU’s surplus goes to a fund called the Career Fund which organizations can apply for money if you want to arrange a career-promoting event.arrangement.

TF-dammen Ås’ match to Aker Brygge! This area has something for all ages, and the construction site provides a whole new world of opportunities for fun and games. Here, you can frolic in the water, or chill by sunbathing on the dock. The only thing sourly missed is an ice cream stand.

Smilehullet Pleasant, urban, but also country-esque. You will not get sand trapped between your toes, butJA we wouldn’t recommend snorkeling as the bottom can be very sludgy. However, the large grassy field and a short walk to the bar in Cafeklubben gives this location a few bonus points.

Andedammen Lovely surroundings, with great opportunities for swimming and playing. If you wish to sunbathe on your own you can take the swim to the island in the middle of the water, where as a bonus, there are excellent overnight facilities available.

Nearby, there is both a book store and restaurant, and we can recommend a quick dip here before your lecture if you do not have the time for a trip to Drøbak and back. Bathing shoes are recommended!

Skogsdammen Cold, shady, fish and nesting swans; We at least do not want to swim here! If you wish to sunbathe you need to go lie down on the sidewalk, which can be distracting due to all the passing traffic caused by passing cars and cyclists. We now understand why UKAs event, where you drive boats off of a ramp and out into the Skogsdammen, is called “Take the Chance”.

Oasen We had high hopes for the Oasis, which is located right in front of Jordfagsbygget, but we were incredibly disappointed.

As our last hope, and despite all the renovation, we had been expecting top water quality, lovely surroundings and a good atmosphere. None of these factors were present. We would not recommend that ANYONE do so much as stick a toe in that water.

Sentrumsbassenget The cleanest out of all the swimming places we tested! Here you can see the bottom, and the basin is located in the middle of Ås’ cultural navel. If you wish to swim at other times of the year than summer, you need to remember to bring your own water. However, this ensures that the water quality is up to your standards. You can also limit your water use, and with the environment in mind this is big plus for us!

Ringfest- On behalf of affected students As a soon to be graduating student at NMBU, I am dismayed by the way the Ringfest graduation ceremony is being handled. It is hard to understand that an important event such as the closing ceremony for two years of studying at NMBU—where you are supposed to be celebrated and commemorated—is not accessible to all and also built on the wrong premise. There are many troubling aspects about Ringfest. But the most obvious one to start with, is the fact that there are just not enough seats for everyone who is graduating. How is it acceptable that some people are just not guaranteed a seat at their own graduation?

The fact that there are two different rooms, is incredibly awkward and inconvenient, to say the least. A lot of students don’t get to have their family attend the event, so the least they are expecting is to be able to sit with their friends. I was personally affected by this because since the place is not big enough to hold everyone, I ended up in a room alone (festsalen) away from the few people I actually know at the event.

In addition, the event seems to be mostly tailored for the forenings (social societies).

Which completely misses the point that it is a graduation event for everyone completing their degree, and not just a forening event. Forenings are a great thing, but for a solemn ceremony were the focus should be academic achievement, there seems to be a lot more attention given to the forenings than the actual people graduating. I find it very upsetting that there are two different rooms, where one is mostly meant for the forenings. This is, in my opinion a completely unnecessary distinction to make in an event such as a graduation. We are all getting our degree, and we should be treated equally and have the same graduation experience as everyone 46 Issue 05 Year 74

else. I know that at each room the ‘shows’ displayed are different, and that is also very unfair. Why do people in AudMax room get to see something, and people in the other room (festsalen) do not? Regardless of what the ‘show’ or agenda is, it should be the same for all.

Another important inconsistency, is that you are supposed to be seated with your faculty and program. What happens if they are sitting most of your faculty in Audmax but you only got a ticket in festsalen? You might end up completely alone in another room—no faculty members, no friends.

I understand this is an event planned and run by students, and their effort and dedication is appreciated. I think they are doing the best they can with the premise they were given. However, these are some points to reflect upon for the future. It is disheartening as a graduate to have this event, be what marks the end of your two years as a student at NMBU—and for some, not even being able to attend it at all. It is my opinion that NMBU, should start taking the responsibility for the event.

Graduation should be an event for all, with the main focus being the graduates, and where we all feel adequately accommodated in our own graduation.

P.S. I did send this letter directly to the Ringfest committee where they addressed some of the issues laid out. I want to clarify that this is directed towards NMBU as an institution and not Ringfest committee. I am suggesting NMBU takes responsibility and initiative in such an important ceremony as is graduation. It should be equal or more solemn than commencement with the focus being every single graduate that made it this far.

Preaching Pries

TUNTREET Translated By: Hanna Sahlström

Renewed trust The Christian church is celebrating Easter these days. The essence of Easter is that Jesus resurrected from the dead. A sign is something that points at something beyond oneself. It points towards me and you. Towards the people.

Jesus died a long time ago. Is it possible for me to seize this today and keep it close to my beating heart and chest?

There are traces of God in our modern world. But God must stay hidden.

God is different from everything else we can experience. God has made everything, heaven and earth and the universe. The world, me, air, and water. Therefore, God is beyond our comprehension.

Something completely different. Holy. Scary in the way that I have nothing to compare God to. God is unique.

Still, there is a connection between God and me. I am created with a deep thirst, a longing. God fills the world with his absence.

Human beings is created in the image of God, the Bible states on its first page. God breathed life into us. God’s breath is part of my breath. My life is a part of God’s life.

God said: “Let us create humans in our own image, so that they look like us! God bless them”, and he said: “Be fertile and become many.” He breathed the air of life into the nose of the human, and the human became a living being.

These words were written a long time ago. But they are as relevant today.

Then it happens, what so often happens. The human messes things up. We wanted to be independent. Stand on our own feet.

Mankind stopped believing that God wanted the best for us. We stopped trusting in God. We lost the original contact with God. The Human thirsts. But could not trust that God loves his creation regardless. Cared about mankind. Maintained the contact.

God has given us the world, the earth, life. Everything. It was property of God, but was given to the people. And we begun to praise the creation instead of the creator.

And the human doubted. We doubted if we where loved. That there existed a loving presence. We found our own way. The original feeling of being a beloved child of God faded. It almost disappeared completely.

In the end, humans became so estranged from God, that we could no longer see the difference between the will of God and of our own. We lost our ability to distinguish.

Where is God? What is God? Is he the opponent, the evil. Or is it me? Is it my own? Or could it be the creator? Is it you, God? Or is it someone else?

Therefore, God sent his own son to bring salvation to mankind.

For God loved the world so much that he had to give his own son, the only begotten, so that everyone who beliefs in him will not be lost, but have eternal life. Joh. 3. 16 This means that the original condition where God and humans talk together in all familiarity, is regained, it is available.

Easter brings news. When Jesus resurrected from the dead, God destroyed sin, death and the devil. I have the opportunity to get in touch with our creator and my God in such a way that the original can be experienced. Not fully, as long as we are in this world. But still reachable. Already now, but still not the way it one day will become.

The birth of Jesus is a dramatic event. It is strange. It is beyond our comprehension that God would become one of us.

The oldest said: God became human so that humans could become God. This reveals a reconciliation and a resurrection of the human’s value and status. When God comes to us, we can come to God. When Jesus came back from the dead, the most difficult became possible. That life ends at death was turned upside down.

I am not going to die, but live. Death is not the last. Death is just a continuation of life.The Easter story is about signs. John’s Gospel goes: 1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. 2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. 3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. 4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. 5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. 6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie, 7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. 9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead A moved rock. An empty grave. A new beginning.

God is not like us. We cannot see God. But there are signs.

«Humans are an equation that is impossible to solve,» Sissel Gran says. Phsycologist and family therapist. She sees how vulnerable and complex humans are.

The message of Easter goes like this: We have gotten renewed trust.

Say yes. Rest in yourself. Be present in the world. There is hope. Even for mankind.

GAME PAGE ANSWERS

Plutselig var det mai måned, og atter en gang kom den altfor fort. Det føles som det var i går at du sa til deg selv at dette semesteret skulle gjennomføres uten skippertak. 8 - 16 hver eneste dag og onsdagsbodega skulle være et unntak. Men nå sitter du her da, blitt bestevenn med bartenderen og pensumboka er fremdeles ikke kjøpt. Vel, det kan skje den beste.

Fortvil likevel ikke, for det finnes håp.

Det er mange minutter i døgnet og du har jo noen dager igjen. Og skulle det bli for tungt, så kan du ta deg en is, en luftetur eller et lite/stort glass vin. Som en liten oppmuntring kommer vi også rundt på lesesalene for å dele ut boller når det står på som verst. Masse lykke til på eksamen!

“Vil du gjøre Stavern til en miljø-festival?

Isåfall bør du lese videre. Tidligere i vår var vi en gjeng som diskuterte forsøpling og festivaler som ikke lever opp til vår generasjons miljøengasjement. Dette ønsket vi å gjøre noe med. Det ene førte til det andre, og brått ble vi ansvarlig for miljø og renovasjon på Stavern- Festivalen.

Vi forhandlet oss også til egne vilkår for frivillige i vårt team. Gratis festivalpass, gratis camping, rabbatert mat og en donasjon til miljø-organisasjonen Spire inngår i avtalen. For å lage et ekstra sterkt NMBU fellesskap under festivalen har vi et lite (søppelfritt) område campen for oss og våre venner! Vil du være med oss på festival 11-13 juli? Da må du sende en mail til Spire.nmu@gmail.com. Merk mailen med «Stavern festivalen» med teksten «JEG ER MED» så får mer informasjon!

Semesteret nærmer seg slutten, men det er ingen grunn til å bli furten.

For det er nå den beste tiden er, med grilling, pils og lite klær.

Selvom eksamensnervene kommer, blir det uansett glemt når det er sommer.

Uansett om du føler du må treffe blink, så behøver du ikke alltid være dødsflink.

Gjør så godt som bare du klarer, men ikke glem at ingenting varer.

Så om du føler det er nå det gjelder, husk ingenting slår Eplehagen på vårkvelder.

Så derfor må du nyte at du faktisk er student, og kan sette lesinga litt på vent.

Frøknene overlever med den beste balanse, dager på lesesal, og netter med å danse.

Vi koser oss mens vi mestrer alt stress, for når vi er sammen er vi i vårt ess.

Frøknene ønsker dere alle masse lykke til, vi vet jo du klarer det du vil.
