WHEN THE DARKNESS CLOSES IN

Translated By: Hanna Sahlström

As I am writing this, it has been 8 days since we first got the news that a fellow student was found dead. It has obviously been an especially challenging time. It is a shocking message to receive, and for many, completely incomprehensible. Like a bolt of lightning from a clear blue sky.

A spreader of joy with an enormous talent has left us, and in turn left behind him a large void.

There are many who are asking themselves what they could have done differently to prevent something like this from happening - a question that is not just pressing locally, but nationally.

In light of SHoT2018 (a Norwegian survey about students’ mental health and well-being), this has become even more relevant in regard to the rising tendency of mental health issues for students. We are slightly above the national average here in Ås, but this is neither an excuse nor a comfort now.

We need an engagement in the issue on all levels and from all agencies, and it is a collective challenge that requires openness, bravery and effort. We need to dare to ask for professional help when it is needed. There are many who refuse to acknowledge their invisible illness, and mental issues are still stigmatized.

There must be room for a dark mood to form, and one must dare to feel down without feeling like a killjoy. We need to be brave enough to not hide how we are doing, and brave enough to listen when someone wants to speak up.

On the other hand, from this event there has risen a touching and impressive solidarity here at the Agronomymetropole. All institutions and groups have stood up for each other and showed an incredible amount of support for one another. The Student Board, ex-students, faculty leaders, organizations, the health station, the Board of Samfunnet, SiÅs, the student priest, the UKEboard, the university leaders, and not least friends, who have lent a hand, cared for and been a huge support for each other.

No one needs to grieve alone.

He’s not Even here

Eulogy of Even Skramstad Arntsen It is impossible to explain Even for someone who has never met him. He was a unique cocktail of creativity, discussion, music and antics.

Even and I met in the autumn of 2013, when we started studying civil engineering in chemistry and biotechnology together.

Born in Fredrikstad he would often cross the border into Sweden. Going on trips that gave him a profound knowledge about my home country. This, combined with an overlapping taste in music, film and humor, led to us getting along from the start. Together with Espen Sønneland we became a peerless triple-duo, who lived together for 3,5 years. In that time, we got so familiar with each other that our identities got entwined like a thick curtain. We always came up with weird ideas when we were together –"shall we sleep outside tonight?" Yep, short time after our beds were out on the balcony. Or we drew on Espen’s arm, and when we ran out of space we would remove his t-shirt and use his entire body as a canvas.

We who knew Even were always well taken care of. Gompedrops (soft fruit pastilles) is one of my favorite snacks. Once on my way to the store to buy a dosage of Gomp, they were completely out of the soft fruit pastilles. I was perplexed, and none of us knew why it was empty. Some days later when I celebrated my birthday Even comes with a clever smile and hands me a god damned crate, filled with Gomp. He had bought out the whole store to give it to me.

From the time Even was a little tot he distinguished himself as a great author and with his picking and plucking. He played a lot with Lego, drew and wrote stories. He once wrote a Norwegian hand-in that was full of typos, but he got a grade 6 anyway because the story was too good. It was read out loud in the teachers’ room. From time to time he was an imp; once he tricked the boy next door to eat a slice of bread with only wasabi because he called it Japanese butter.

Even was an eternal amateur, and by that I do not mean that he was not good at things, but that he dared to be bad at new things.

When he wanted to learn the saxophone, he started practicing all the time to everyone’s disaffection. So he started practicing on his evening walks, something the local joggers were not too pleased with.

He constantly tried out new things, new food ingredients and dishes, new activities (crocket, hairdresser) and different kinds of stuff (sunglasses, weird flutes). He also pushed other people around him into testing out new things. It was always when one was bored that the impulses and ideas came. It was funnier being bored with Even than it was having fun with others.

Even was a revue-man, and no matter which part it concerned, he was interested, if it was the technical, the creative or the musical. During the revue with Lærkene he participated as a musician, composer,

author, actor and everything in-between.

He always had the best, bad ideas.

Even was a word-smith of a different dimension, with a complementing silver tongue. No matter what weird stuff he had going on, he could explain it in such a way that a bitter critic would become a persuaded believer. He was a fantastic person to talk to with a deep knowledge in very many fields and had at the same time a comprehensive overview over most things. He could write a paragraph in one sentence. And for him it was not like “a picture is worth a thousand words”, no, Even could write a paragraph worth more than a thousand pictures. In one of his erotic short stories he described something so vividly that later, I was convinced that I had seen it in real life.

One cannot express in words how much Even will be missed, and the only way to sum up Even is with this quote from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

“There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind, never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.”

The world is a poorer place without you, Even.

It was an honour. Erik Tylleskär

Ås Kinoteater reopened in week 37 with new theatre shows and movie screenings after a big renovation.

Tuntreet got a sneak peek on the new theatre before the premiere, and most importantly got to test the new seats. With scientific analysis and a thorough review we will give an in-depth elaboratation on the seats and the quality of this new cinema experience.

A face lift Former users of the theatre will notice that the old seats with their orange-red colour have been switched out with a fresh and modern magenta. A brave choice which gives a fresh general impression of the new theatre. This is a part in the overall planning of theatre/foyer where the two room’s colours complement each other and give a coherent experience. The rooms represent Feng Shui at it's best and create a harmonic experience that gives new energy to any occasion. So one doesn’t need to go to psychologists or do yoga, when one can get come here to chill instead.

Theater and layout The capacity in the theatre has been expanded from 395 up to 462, which means you can bring 17% more friends to the newest show, which is a nice opportunity to have. The chairs are distributed over 19 rows, and as you all know, this is a prime number and a good starting point. The number of seats has been increased by 67, also a prime number – this can impossibly be a coincidence, and it's safe to say that the theatre has been blessed by mathematics.

About the Chairs When you sit down in one of the new chairs everything feels right. Both allegoric, that you’ve never been more comfortable, but also because your back and your legs are orthogonal with the floor. The chairs stand 535-560mm above ground, with a 900mm tall back supporting you and giving an excellent feeling of balance. Vision is also in focus. With the stage 15cm lower than in the earlier configuration, even the lowest rows will have a good angle. Now, no one will see with a sharper angle than 15o and

Seats are neat!

A sneak peek in the new Ås Kinoteater “I wouldn't be surprised if people started going to the theatre instead of the chiropractor"

Now that the most important aspects have been mentioned it is nice to put some numbers on the experience, which has been divided into three parts.

no higher than 30o, which will secure good posture for neck and back. With these chairs, swivel chairs and gamingchairs can simply be discarded. A gap of 210-88mm between the rows of chairs secures that one can easily see above most people’s heads and enjoy the entertainment. It doesn’t hurt that the rows are placed fluctuatingly so that you don’t sit directly behind a person, but in between. The arm rests measure 66,7mm and with a curved shape your arms get all the support they deserve. The width of the actual seat is ca. 45cm. Factors mentioned above gives a good posture and I wouldn’t be surprised if people start to go to the cinema instead of the chiropractor.

The material receives the body in a secure and safe way. Like a hug from an old friend that makes you feel at home.

Aesthetics: Fresh colours and an overall planning naturally adds points. Personally, I’m weak for the reds the chairs and curtains are draped in, and I have no other choice than to give this a top score: 10/10

About the cinema experience The social aspects mustn’t be left out. The chairs are a comfortable distance from each other so it’s possible to whisper, pass notes or whatever it is that youth do during cinema screenings. As mentioned earlier there’s good space for your feet, and you can be sure that bladders of all sizes are taken care of since it is easy and painless to pass the seats to the nearest bathroom.

When Tuntreet visited, it wasn’t ready for screenings yet, but to say something about the atmosphere of the theatre; the work environment seemed safe, professional and enjoyable, which emphasizes the positive energy that the new Ås Kinoteater brings.

Hard numbers

Comfort: The material is of excellent quality.

The aspect ratio between measurements are mathematically perfect. If one still does not notice any significant difference from the old chairs, there is a difference in itself that these chairs are brand new, without errors, tears, nor stains. They could maybe be a tad bigger, but it might as well be nice that they aren’t cause then I would have moved in permanently. I give this category 9/10.

Practical solutions: The space has been used to the fullest and it has therefore made room for more seats. The stage has also been improved considering the lower rows. There is better lighting, and there’s been added a real control seat in the middle, at the back.

The rows of seats are logically arranged, and it’s clear everything is thoroughly thought through. I give it 10/10.

Total score: The new seats and theatre they inhabit, doesn’t distract from the cinema- and theatre-experience, but rather contributes to it. The overall scores reflect this with 9,7/10. There are utterly few things that could’ve been better, so there’s nothing else to say aside from: of course it is worth taking the trip!

«I would love to do try parachuting or swim with sharks», Dagny Norvoll Sandvik replies, energetically. Having achieved celebrity status doesn’t stop her from continually setting new goals for herself.

The Norwegian pop artist has previously been living the life in Tromsø and London and is now trying to settle down in Oslo. "It’s almost impossible. I haven’t been in the same place for longer than five weeks at a time since I moved to London at 21" Dagny says. While the interview is taking place backstage, her sister Juna sits beside her doing her make-up. Dagny often looks up and smiles widely. If it hadn’t been for the journey her stories take us on, it would be like sitting on the couch in the home of the Norvoll Sandvik-family. The artist shares and describes her first encounter with celebrity life and the music business in particular, before she delivers a lively semester-kickoff in AudMax.

SEMESTERKICKOFF FEAT. DAGNY

THE STAR ON THE RISE PLAYS LIVING ROOM CONCERTS Travelling and touring has been a big part of Dagny’s everyday life for a long time, and her journey started here in her homeland. In 2013 and 2014 she carried out a living room tour visiting Norwegian homes. She tells us that it felt special to be able to play in such an intimate setting and with a different number of spectators every night. "We met at the train station close to those we were going to play for, had a concert in their living room, and after breakfast the day after we left for a new home. Altogether she and the band played 34 concerts during 28 days. "It was insane! It was a concept we had thought of ourselves and that people really responded to. And it was also so nice to see many of the people we’ve played for again at the Headliner tour of 2017.»

NEEDS TEQUILA Dagny continues down memory lane as we start to talk about the music video shooting of her break-through song Backbeat. "I was actually served tequila shots on-set. To loosen up a bit" she laughs. The laughter covers the seriousness. The music business isn’t always as glamorous as it may seem from the outside. Dagny explains that it was the unorganized collaboration between all the contributors that ruined her vision for the shooting. "I would rather have parachuted or gone swimming with sharks", she elaborates. In hindsight she’s more conscious about her boundaries.

She adds how the stylist told her to change her pants because they didn’t match her top. "I will fucking wear

those pants!" the pop artist underlines firmly.

ABOUT STAYING YOURSELF Many of those who have followed Dagny from the beginning noticed that she went from having long, brown hair to getting a platina blonde bob-cut in the music video for Backbeat. She denies the myth of it being a conscious style change. "It was really just a result of an unsuccessful dye job at home" she says. "Yes! What was up with that?" her sister Juna adds, and they both laugh. Dagny tells us that her hair went strawberry red and that she had to go to the hairdresser to repair the damage.

"I’m actually going to the hairdresser on Monday too!" she suddenly exclaims.

She excuses her absence of colored hair roots. Dagny has, opposed to most other, kept her feet firmly on the ground even after reaching celebrity status. She says that the music industry, especially in the USA, is very concerned with brands. Personally, she finds it hard to place herself in a commercial booth and doesn’t let money and fame be motivational factors. She simply prefers the more grounded, Norwegian image as the girl next door.

"Music is so flowing, and just like you evolve as a person, you need the music to have a creative space to evolve in.

The same goes for make-up, hair and clothes. After a while people will start to see what hallmarks you" she concludes.

WRITES FROM EXPERIENCE At the same time Dagny goes on tour, she does promo and work in studio, and she is also taking time to write new songs. She multitasks all the jobs, and she enjoys having a lot do to. Still, she admits that she feels the pressure of writing when she first has time to do it. "I really feel the writer’s block sometimes, especially when I work a lot and there is nothing else happening in my life. I write from own experience but would’ve loved to be better at writing about the small things in life" she reflects. "I would love for my music to make people feel something, and I try to write as specific as possible."

There is no doubt that the artist reaches out to many with her global themes as love and human relations. Dagny creates her English lyrics from real feelings and honest words. "Clichés are clichés, but you need to have experienced the content to not just think of it as a bloody big cliché" she points out.

THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE HOME Even workaholics need to relax sometimes, and when Dagny relaxes, she finds peace and quiet at her family home in Tromsø. She spends the days outside in nature and still loves to play in-home-concerts sometimes. In addition, both of Dagny’s parents are musicians. She tells us that when the Norvoll Sandvik family is home, they fill the days with music from morning until nightfall. Dagny thinks that having grown up in a family with a musical background has given her a less glorified picture of the industry. "Still it’s not like we sit and discuss music or the music industry when we’re home. Family is family" she points out while she smiles and meets her sister’s eyes.

5 quick questions with Dagny

Dagny played for the first time in her life in front of the Ås-students and delivered a true show. She opened the fantastic performance with her newest single Used to You. Followed up by well-known Backbeat and the atmosphere reached for the sky. Literally in the form of a pink cloud on stage. Especially also under the other cool songs like Fool’s Gold, Drink About and Wearing Nothing, the audience were carried away with the music and dancing on stage. Dagny kept in close touch with the audience during the entire show, and people in front kept trying to stretch their arms towards the pop artist. Dagny took one of the spectators’ phone twice and documented the entertainment on snapchat. To conclude, after being applauded back on stage, Dagny and her band played her favorite song Love You Like That.

Halvor Holtestaul and Player in chief Ringlund enter Halvors Hybel leading to a great success Studentsamfunnet is very traditional – but each generation leaves its mark at the Agronomymetropole. Interested students will now get the opportunity to learn more about what it is was like in the 60s.

Tuesday the 11th of September, students gathered in Halvors Hybel to learn about how Åsbobla used to be, from Halvor Holtestaul and Kåre Ringlund. It was a really nice atmosphere and the students eagerly raised their hands in the air to ask questions. Everything is brought up, from the saunas at Pentagon to UKA in Ås’s origin. The old guys do not dare to say that things used to be better in the old days, but it’s hard for the students to agree. One of the things that we learned is that the student loans used to be on 10 000kr, and everything would be paid back in three years. All of the student hearts in the room were crushed.

The school in the old days was dominated by men, and Kåre Ringlund was in his time Player in chief. He had the very serious responsibility of inviting the female students to he Agronomymetropole.

– the female students from school of domestic science were among the most popular guests. He wished the female student welcome at the station, arranged a pregame, and "released" them out on the dance floor. There was no doubt that they both had some very good memories from those days, and won't reveal too many details.

Halvor Holtestaul – The man behind the bar Tuntreet has been so lucky that they were able to get a longer interview with Halvor Holtestaul. He is a guy that without a doubt has meant a lot to the students – the former administrative director in SiÅs is also an honorary member of Studentsamfunnet and Storkos of Hans Hovenhet Hestehoven.

Revues galore - How did you contribute to UKA in Ås?- The first UKA I joined was in 56’, back then I was in production. I was UKEsecretary in 58’, back then the UKEboard only consisted of 4 people, UKEcheif, revue cheif, cashier and secretary. Later I joined the revue.

It was probably in the revue Halvor accomplished the most, in addition to being a UKEactor, he was also in the writers group, and wrote revues for several years, also after his time as a

student was over. – I thought it was very important for the job I had in Samskipnaden. I got to know a lot of students this way, and that was important to me. In addition to being interested in it, and thinking it was fun.

- Did you write a lot of songs?

- No I was more on the writing team, and wrote probably a few monologs and sketches. The songmaster back then was Josef G. Larsen, who also was the janitor in the common areas. He used to write a lot of songs and also wrote revues for twenty years.

TUNTREET

The scene in the 50’s and 60’s was primarily male dominated at Landbrukshøyskolen (NMBU’s former name), but it was no problem recruiting female actors. – It wasn’t that hard – some worked at the school, and some were married to the students.

A popular director As a director in Studentsamskipnaden, Halvor has done a great deal for the student environment and UKA in Ås, and in 1994 Halvors Hybel was named after the popular director. - The background for this must be that I contributed to finishing the building project- It was the Board of Samfunnet that celebrated me with that name, Halvor tells us. Together with Anton Hjeltnes, he is one of two students that has been given this honour. I do miss Anton, he left us a couple of years ago...

– Have you visited any of the other UKENE? – Yes, but that is ages ago now. It has always

been bigger in Trondheim, with bigger houses and more students. They have kind of been a big brother. It is Trondheim and Ås that has had the original studentUKE that has operated the way I think they should. That they go in economical plus. and that it is an important environmental factor.

Praising the students - Has UKA in Ås changed during the years? - Yes, I guess it has, but UKA is still primarily based on the same things now as it was then. The main difference is probably the hired concerts. We didn’t have that; we were based on our own skills.

Halvor tells us that UKA consisted more of revues, in addition to other arrangements. –It was dancing in the gymnasium and a restaurant was set up during UKA. There was also dancing in Festsalen. We had a small fun fair upstairs in Rosehagen, with arrow

throwing and BB-guns.

Halvor visits UKA in Ås every time – now it’s mainly the Urpremiere that he attends, but earlier he also attended G-day and G-weekend also. He gives the students a lot of praise for the musical development. – I wonder if it has anything to do with that there is a lot more music in education now than there used to be in the old days. It is under my impression that there are a lot more resources available.

The students are praised for keeping the traditions, in reports and in spirit.

It strikes me when I’m talking to Halvor that even though a lot has changed, there are still a lot of things that are the same. We can both agree on that the best thing about UKA is the scene and team spirit. I believe that one becomes a part of the student environment in a way that is hard without UKA, I think.

Transforming the world into sound NMBU has always been one of the leading universities in research on environment and biology.

Now it looks like the steps ahead are going in a more cultural direction! Two artists visited Vitenparken in Ås the 6th of September and presented their artworks. Here is an introduction to who they are and what they have created.

An interview with a sound extraordinaire!

Hi! My name is Jiska Huizing. I’m an artist, musician and DJ from the Netherlands, though I currently live in Bergen. I moved there to study for my Masters for fine arts at the University of Bergen.

Could you tell us about your art project?

It’s a big sound project that I’ve been working on since 2015. Wherever I go, I will record the sounds of my surroundings and turn the recordings into sound pieces. I add my sound pieces to my webpage, which has become a library of sounds. Edited studio versions, live performances, bare field recordings, they’re all gathered there!

What sounds do you record? Not only nature sounds, but also everyday sounds?

I’ve gone on a lot of hikes to gather different sounds, but I also use my voice and my violin. They’re both part of my everyday surroundings, and that’s what all of these sounds are. If the sound is on a recording I’ve made, on a hike or a performance, I can use it. I’ll use anything from background sounds, like a woodpecker, or myself playing the violin.

Will the project ever be completed?

I don’t think so. The project is an evergrowing library where I can take out sounds, re-record or add new sounds. I like the idea of the project moving with me throughout my life, and I’m excited to see how it’ll look in five or ten years.

Issue 07 Year 73

What was the most fun you’ve had with the project?

I think it’s the method of working. Walking and recording, then going back to it and shaping it into something. I also love the feeling of discovery. Hearing something new, seeing something new and taking pictures, that’s what really drives me!

What would you say the project is all about?

I’d say it’s all about the joy of discovery. I want the listener to feel the same experience I do by having this changing collection where you can discover things in new ways!

And how can people get to experience all your sound works?

All my sounds are on my website Torntracks.com. I’m also going to work on an exhibition called “Vestlandsutstillingen”, where I’ll make some new recordings that will be added to my webpage. I also have a personal webpage, JiskaHuizing.nl.

TUNTREET expand the circumference eventually.

An audio story of past and future Anne Cecilie Lie from Bærum is educated as a visual artist. She has studied art in Trondheim and has made a huge number of art exhibitions. Here she is going to tell us about her new project about Ås’ past, present and future; “Entangled in a mesh”, which takes place here in Ås!

Can you tell us about the project?

I wanted to have sound as scenography as my point of departure. To explain a bit easier: In the world of theatre there is a lot of focus on producing things and objects and creating something new. I was more interested in finding things that are already here, and then bring them out into the light! I decided that I’d like to work with sound, because often we do not even pay attention to the sound around us. Sound has the power to change our mood and to carry us away into amazing sceneries.

There is a history to all landscape, remember that this was an agricultural university once.

So what I’m trying to explore is “How does the landscape sound?

What lives in it, what has lived in it and how will it sound in the future?”

How does it work?

The project is interactive, and it’s based on where you are situated. One downloads an app called “Locosonic” and finds the walk that I’ve made. Then, switch on the GPS and take a walk in the landscape. I have placed many different sounds in the landscape, which gets activated when you walk past them. The sounds are currently placed around Andedammen, but I hope to

What message do you want to tell with this project?

Something I’m trying to communicate is that we are all part of a greater system. "Entangled in a mesh" is a theory by Timothy Morton, who claims that we are all connected in a large mesh. You affect everything, and everything affects you.

The project is an entanglement of stories and sounds, sometimes annoying sounds, sometimes harmonic, but they are all a part of you and you are a part of them.

There have been some technical issues around this. Do you have any recommendations on how this can be avoided for people wanting to try it out?

I recommend that everyone download the app and the audio files in advance before they go out and try the walk. Many people have told me that the app crashes, something that seems to be a trend on android phones, so just make sure the app works before you take the walk.

The art of Huizing and Lie is a part of a bigger exhibition at Vitenparken. Minister of Culture Trine Skei Grande visited on the 31st of August.

The exhibition is about the the crossing between art science.

A beginners guide to Fano A. H. Grydeland Journalist

Let your imagination roam!

September 15th and 16th the game club Kort og Bredt hosted a workshop about a game many have heard about, but few have played. Dungeons and Dragons (DnD), the role playing game from 1974, is not only a complicated game, but also incredibly fun!

For those of you who grew up without nerdy parents, here is a short description of DnD: You start by making a character you will play as throughout the game. An official Player’s handbook is often used to create the character.

This book tells you about the game, the different types of characters and all their traits, and is used as a guide to the official edition of DnD. To make your character, you start by choosing a race. Do you want to be an ordinary human, a kind elf, an aggressive dwarf, or maybe a halfdragon? After this you choose a class, or as I like to call it, “professions”. You can be anything from a monk who has mastered martial arts, to a musician who releases deadly magic from their fiddle as they play. Lastly you choose your background. Maybe you are a ranger who lost your family, or are you the son of a duke? All this information is put into a Character sheet, pictured in the Player’s Handbook.

When you have made your character, you are ready for the adventure to begin! The storyline is controlled by a Dungeon Master, who takes the players through a fairytale-like story.

The adventure can be anything from an epic treasure hunt, a war on another race, or that your ship ran aground and you are stranded on a deserted island. Alongside your companions you head out on a one-of-a-kind quest! An example of how such a quest might play out will be on the next page.

If this sounds intriguing, we recommend you to go to a workshop. The workshop started on Saturday with an introduction to basic rules in the game, and then a walkthrough of how to make a character. After refreshments in the form of snacks and soda, I put a lot of work into my first character. It can take a long time to build a character without help of an experienced player, so I strongly recommend not trying this by yourself.

The big, bad wolf

On a narrow street in a small village there is loud commotion. Every last villager has gathered as close to the local pub as possible, to try and take part in the festivities. People raise their glasses, someone is playing a fiddle, and the pub is filled with song and dance. A loud, rumbling laughter can be heard over the loud crowd. A dwarf is sitting at the bar. A bard just challenged him…

“HA HA! Write a song? About our adventures? OF COURSE you’ll write a song about it! And I, Rumdain, mountain dwarf of Faerün, protector of the weak, conqueror of evil, the strongest and bravest, will tell the tale! SO LISTEN CLOSELY”

“It all started when my companions and I went to a small village. And if I could say so myself; I have never met a group so strange. Two dwarfs, one half-elf, a halfling and an elf! I normally don’t trust those pointy-eared people, but when IN AN HONOURABLE BATTLE AGAINST

EVIL! I’ll let anyone fight alongside me!”

“Rumour had it that farms in the area were attacked by a mysterious enemy, and the bounty was set to 30 gold pieces! As soon as we heard the news we went straight to a farm in hopes of catching the enemy in action! When we arrived I assisted the farmer in chopping wood, and honourable it was I tell you. But when we returned that devil had already been there and DESTROYED THE FARM! PLUNDERED! BURNT TO THE GROUND! I turned to the farmer and told him that “WHOEVER DID THIS WILL DIE TODAY!” We mounted our horses and followed the attacker’s tracks. They led us to a cave! Inside the cave we found some small creepy creatures, goblins they were! They stood their ground and thought they were tough, but they had never met me! I filled them with fear, and then I put my axe RIGHT IN THEIR FEAR! HA HA HA!”

“But fear not, for I showed them mercy! I let one live, and he told us about

the true evil that was here. It was a magician by the name of Bergon! But I had not yet met a man who could handle my axe!

We traveled further into the cave and everywhere we went we were met with HONOURABLE BATTLES! In one of our battles I cut the head off the enemy and one of my companions, Albert the dwarf, kicked the head like a football and hit the head of another soldier! HA HA!”

“And finally came the battle! The battle I had been waiting for! Bergon, a coward of a man, could not beat our strength!

But, when he fell to the ground he turned into a DOG FROM HELL! We fought against the dog, but three of us fell and were close to death! But right then the crazy half-elf jumped the dog and STABBED IT! The last hit went straight THROUGH IT’S BUTT! HA HA HA HA!”

“After the battle we returned here, got our gold, our honour, and now I WANT MY DRINK! CHEERS, MY STRANGE COMPANIONS! HA HA!"

The thing about feminism Jane Bergan Journalist

Translated By: Evita Kolseth Skaar

Sunniva Buvarp Schmitz Photographer

A lot of people have a bad impression of feminists, even though feminism is all about equality between the genders. The 4th of September women’s rights activist and author Maria Breen paid a visit to NMBU to clear things up on feminism.

If in 2018 you say that you are a feminist, it won’t be long before everyone starts correcting you. “Maybe it meant equality before, but we have gender equality today, so you just continue because you think women are better, or because you are too ugly to get some”, is some of the feedback Breen has gotten on her feminist books. Another classic is “I support equality, but feminism is too extreme”, when the only extreme thing here is how hard it apparently is to look it up. “Feminism is a common term for ideology, idea tradition, ethics, politics and academic enterprise that is about freedom, equality and justice for both genders”. See, you didn’t need to do more than google the definition of feminism and click on the first link that leads you straight to Store Norske Leksikon, to see what feminism actually means!

“But why is it called feminism, if it’s not about women ruling the world?” you may ask, and Breen has the answer; it is basically because of history. Historically it’s women who have been suppressed, and women who have had the need to nag and yell about having equal rights, because they are the second gender. Something beside from the normal. Often, men do not see themselves as a gender, because they are not constantly reminded of it. The book Tidsvitner (time witnesses), which talks about survivors from Auschwitz, is an example of this. After the release of the book they realised: “oh darn, there are not many women involved”, and so they released a sequel with the catchy title Kvinnelige tidsvitner (female time witnesses). Every time a woman is involved in politics, movies or other public things, there are feuds in media described as “women’s drama”. If the goal is equality between the genders, where are all the men’s dramas? Things are much more dramatic when it comes to men, Breen claims, and refers to statistics revealing that 8/10 biographies that are published are about men, not to mention 2/3 of deaths mentioned in papers. We’re talking about real men’s drama here.

“But women are different from men”, some people start arguing, 16

Statistics showing that one of the world’s most equal countries still is not that equal • 3/4 of mayors are men • 7/10 of statues are of men, and the female are often naked and nameless • 8/10 headline artists on festivals are men, and they are often paid more • Only three women has won “Spellemansprisen” in 32 years

Statistics showing that the world in general is not that equal • Less than 10% of the world’s countries have ever had a female Head of state.

• In Russia there is a list of 400 professions that are seen as “unsuitable for women”. #metoo • In developing countries, 1/3 of girls are married off before turning 18.

“they are controlled by emotions and can neither handle politics or parallel parking, but they are important when it comes to children and closeness. Men and women are supposed to complete each other!” Breen argues back, because isn’t that the exact reason why women should be represented? When the world’s top leaders decide legality about abortion and birth control, shouldn’t women be present? Are the sexes so different that we should stop getting disappointed over commercials selling men’s jeans as a part of an outfit, and women’s jeans as the only garment necessary to wear?

Sadly, hate against feminism is not a new phenomenon, Breen points out. Before the time of the internet, the papers were packed with caricature drawings showing everything from mothers wasting their time on insignificant stuff like their right to vote while ignoring their children, their house and their poor hardworking husbands, and ugly, grumpy women with red stockings that gather only to yell at men. Even today you don’t need to go more than a week without shaving your legs and armpits before you get called a feminist. Because that is obviously a declaration and a protest against both the community and the poor men that can’t bear the sight of one single hair, and therefore need you to shave for their sake. Because if not, it is hatred of men!!

Next time you see somebody frown and think “ugh, fucking feminist”, you can rather suggest that they inform themselves on what the fight actually is about, and what fundamental rights that are often ignored even today. Because that is the thing about feminism, hating men is not.

Critique of the flirting course

As a participant at the flirting course at Samfunnet I was left with the thought: What was this nonsense?!

Before the course I was quite excited, and was looking forward to being entertained and educated. It started out quite well, until he tried to explain the theory behind flirting with an “evolutionary perspective” where men only can concentrate on one thing at a time and women are emotional multitaskers.

OK, so Asbjørn Kjellsby (coach and owner of the flirting school) probably wants to seem smart. The problem is that it has the opposite effect when he is using old stereotypes of gender and even proclaims them as facts. I really want to know what facts he has based his theory on. Last time I checked those facts, they where misogynistic prejudices.

It was also clear that the course was only made for heterosexuals. There were no tips or advice on how men can pick up other men, or how women can seduce other women.

In general, his advice was quite superficial. Of course it helps to have eye contact and smile! Of course flirting is about communication! It is great that the journalist got use of his

tips in the Bodega, but I am a bit worried about the fact that this reactionary primeval male perspective is presented to our students without any kind of irony.

Fortunately there where many in the room who reacted to the claims, and I applaud whoever asked the coach if he really believed that men and woman were that different. He answered an honest “Yes” and further discussion were cut short by the Managing Director of Hankattene, Ole-Andreas Stigsrud.

When the whole course is based on one man’s experience with flirting, you can understand that the quality becomes quite low. The coach didn’t have a girlfriend himself, and it doesn’t seem like he has done any research on how gay people like to be flirted with.

The course was mostly nonsense, and I hope it doesn’t become a repeated event at Samfunnet in Ås.

Sincerely, Sunniva Herrestad, Member of Ås Feministiske Studenter

What is Næringslivsutvalget at NMBU?

Why attend Karrieredagen 2018?

Næringslivsutvalget at NMBU is the link between the students at NMBU and the business world.

NU is an organisation that is a part of Studentsamfunnet in Ås, that represents all students at NMBU. NU works to make the students familiar with companies and vice versa, make the companies familiar with students at NMBU. We do this by hosting career days and business days, in addition to other career-related events. Karrieredagen (the career day) occurs in autumn and is the biggest career event at NMBU. NU works with coordinating stands and sponsorship contracts at Studentsamfunnet. The board of Næringslivsutvalget consists of six board members.

Karrieredagen is a great opportunity for the students to meet the business world, and to acquire a great network among companies through conversations at stands. The companies can give the students at NMBU first hand information from the business world, and in this way they can inspire and give knowledge and motivation for coming years of studying and job application. Karrieredagen 2018 will offer many highly relevant companies for NMBU students, exciting lectures, CV photographing and much more! Do yourself a favor and come to Karrieredagen on the 10th of October 2018!

Music, Mingling and Mirth The Erasmus Semester Kickoff Fall 2018 Zarifa Barkatullah Journalist and photographer

The last vestiges of the sun disappear as a Dutch pop song blares from speakers in the ABC Basement. “What language is that?” many begin to wonder while a select few faces light up in recognition. For now, Spotify has decided to play their music.

Erasmus’ semester kickoff named “Music, Mingling, and Mirth” had the theme of global music, where students could add favorite songs from their native languages to the party playlist.

Students danced to foreign music, tried to sing along to unknown words and got especially enthusiastic when their chosen track came up.

The newly elected Erasmus board wanted the first event of Fall 2018 to be inclusive, relaxed and entertaining. During the planning stage, the board decided that the party shouldn’t be too fancy with elaborate decorations, or complicated like a Potluck where attendees would have to bring food. Instead to create a more

inviting and low-key environment, ESN provided snacks, drinks and various games.

You could take your pick, form a group and start playing!

Soon circles formed around the tables as people dealt cards, answered trivia questions, and chose between truth or dare. As the night went on, students kept shuffling from one game to another, so no one had trouble with the mingling part of the theme.

Exchange student Luca Kohlmann from Germany said, “I learned how to play two new types of card games tonight and a lot of random facts from the general knowledge quiz.”

As for the music, some of the girls decided they were tired of sitting and just nodding along to beats and got up to dance. One or two adventurous men decided to join in for a couple of songs but for the most part it was the ladies who

shook up the dance floor.

IR Masters student Xioadi Guo from China said, “I’ve never really been much of a dancer, but something about being surrounded by all my friends moving goofily made me lose my inhibitions!”

At the end of the night, as the ESN crew were cleaning up, we took one final picture of the white board in which the students who came were requested to sign their names. It was great to see a mix of Norwegian and international names, which is exactly what we hope to achieve for our future events. Ragnhild Helene Løvli, current ESN President, put it best when she said, “For me it’s really important that everyone feels welcome! Ås is a great place to study and meet amazing people, and ESN wants to facilitate that process for all students: exchange, international and local.”

Hope to see you all at the next one!

Finally, they arrived. The answers from SHoT (The students health and welfare survey). We would love to thank all students who answered the survey and remind everyone that it is now the work starts. For you, for me and for everyone.

More and more of us acknowledge that we have exam anxiety. 42% of us at NMBU answers that we feel anxiety related to exams quite a lot or a lot.

The Student Parliament wishes to use this sky-high number to shine a light on alternative forms of assessment and challenge the Administrative Board – and the students – to accomplish change.

How can we together work towards the forms of assessment at NMBU to be just, safe and innovative?

Something that is even more important to pass on from the SHoT-numbers is that 22% of us answered that we have "severe" or "severe and many symptoms" of mental illness. 22% of us, which means that there’s approximately 1100 students at NMBU that admit to severe mental illness. This means that we all know someone in need of an extra "Hey, how are you?", "Have you had a nice weekend?" and "maybe we can take

Ås is known for its amazing student environment, its many activities and its active student involvement. We are known for having an including environment, where there is room for diversity. We speak loudly – and often about this.

It therefore has to be allowed to speak loudly – and often – about how every third student at NMBU feels left out, isolated or misses someone to be with.

Every third student. 1500 individuals.

1500 friends and acquaintances. 1500 of us feel lonely. For many, the feeling of being surrounded and yet feeling lonely, is much worse than to just be all alone.

The work starts now. None of us want to struggle with exam-related anxiety, none of us want to walk around with a mental illness without any possibility of getting help and there is definitely no one who wishes to feel lonely in the rather active and social Ås.

The work really starts now. We students cannot be psychologists, doctors nor experts on teaching methods. What we can be is committed students that want change. We can stand together through the good and

bad times and encourage each other, we can invite each other and laugh together. We at NMBU can be much better at inviting those that don’t always get invited, show interest in new areas and yes – get out of our own comfort zone to include as many as possible.

What does everyone want? A NMBU where we in 50 years can say; I am damn proud of my actions at that university, I am proud of having contributed to an easier everyday life for my fellow students, and I am really proud to have been a student there.

The Student Parliament wants input from all sides. What can we work with, how can we work with this – and last but not least how can we get fewer to feel lonely in the Ås-bubble?

So, what do you say? Shall we begin this work together?

The Board of Samfunnet's answer regarding the quiz fee

TUNTREET

Prøv papirflybrettemaskinen og få idéen din til å fly!

Dear Hauk Liebe.

Samfunnet is for and run by students at Ås. Samfunnet hosts events every single day of the week, where only two of these events are “party-nights”.

This means that the five other events of the week are something else than parties and drunkenness.

“Samfunnsstyret” has agreed to introduce a symbolic entry fee to all events for non-members, but the issue for us is not about money.

Samfunnet is for and run by students at Ås. Every day there are volunteers working so that we can offer all students at Ås a varied set of events.

Samfunnet is based on volunteers and therefore dependant on its members. The Board of Samfunnet wants all students to become a member, not only those interested in parties and drunkenness. As such we want our members who do attend the parties, to have some benefits at the events that they do attend.

Har du en liten, stor, morsom eller god idé? Noe du har skikkelig lyst til å lage eller jobbe med? Kom på standen vår på NMBU onsdag 10. oktober og få den til å fly.

Premier kan du vinne også!

Quizzes is an activity many bars and watering holes host to attract people, however Samfunnet is not like most watering holes. We host quizzes because it turns out that it is something the students at Ås enjoy. If raising the prices on alcohol for non-members was an alternative this evening, it could have been a good initiative, unfortunately this is something we cannot do. During quiz evenings SiÅs runs the bar, not Samfunnet, meaning all earnings from the sale of alcohol these evenings go to SiÅs. SiÅs does not give membership-discounts, meaning that we cannot offer you membership benefits that way.

The Board of Samfunnet will not remove the entry fee for students who are not members of Samfunnet. I hope this clears up why.

Ås Kooperativ Is Selling Vegetables at Campus Ås

Translated By: Hanna Sahlström

TEXT AND PHOTO: Bua's communication group

On Thursday, the 30th of August, new members met up outside of Bua. New students were welcomed and new volunteers were inaugurated in the Kooperativet. Vegan food was served, vegetables from Ramme Gård were delivered, and not least, new students were invited - to contribute to an ethical consumption through Ås Kooperativ.

You end up missing out on the richness that can be found in grains when you eat a single-specied white flour and store bought bread.

New students came to Ås, not knowing that they can buy all the food they need on Campus.

Most stroll past Bua on their way to Boksmia to buy books. Some saunter over Bua’s mosaic on their way to the Post Office. Others ramble through our little patch of grass in the search of redcurrant. Bua is a small white house with flowers on the roof by the Duck Pond. What new students rarely know, is that here, they can buy all the food they need.

Bua is a place where young people gather to distribute products from framers to the public.

We are a cooperative that lives on through traditions of the old farming community that once existed here in Ås. The Kooperativet provides students and local Åsinger, with local organic food. We miss the time when students could get their food straight from the fields in Ås. Today, it is the farmer who transports the vegetables to campus for us.

The vegetables we have at Bua are provided by three different farms here in Ås. We work with Ramme Gård, Linnestad Gård and Dysterjordet andelslandbruk to provide the Kooperativets members with organic vegetables. The farmers and volunteering members deliver to Bua and Ås Station every Wednesday. We receive grains and flours, which are produced organically, from nearby farms. The types of grains we receive are often unusual and older varieties that are bred locally. They are nutrient rich, dense in minerals and flavourful. They carry a sense of tradition with them, and we have even learned old baking recipes to use them in. You can stop buying imported rice, and instead eat whole grains. Grandma’s porridge will surely make you shed a tear or two. You end up missing out on the richness that can be found in grains when you eat a single species white flour and store bought bread.

Our members represent a movement of ethical consumption. True shopping should end with a handshake, meaning when we eat our food, the earth it has come from has touched us. Our farmers are acquaintances, they are our guardians and the earth’s caregivers. To build a bridge between consumer and producer, we need to create a community around the earth that gives us life. A community where we can see each other and shake each others hand. Our meeting on the 30th of August was a demonstration by this movement. We would rather stand around the dinner table and work together, than howl at politicians and block off Stortingsparken. Many students came by to join, and many were eager to contribute and help out. Join us by visiting Bua this fall!

Do you want to be a member? Student price is 165 kr. You can sign up at www.askooperativ.no. Here you will find access to the online store. Online you can order the vegetables you want, before the deadline each week. You can buy flour straight from Bua. 32 Issue 07 Year 73

Nationen invites the nation to Katja Terzic Journalist

Antibiotic resistant bacteria is today’s biggest threat to the global health system. Even though more people are dying due to a lack of access to antibiotic treatment than due to antibiotic resistant bacteria, doctors caution against the frequent use of the treatment.

In relation to the 100-year anniversary of Nationen, the newspaper has together with the Norwegian Veterinary Institute, invited to several talks about antibiotic treatment.

One of the talks was held at Samfunnet on September 12th. The panel consisted of: • • • • • •

Jasper Littmann, senior adviser at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health Arne Kristian Kolberg, group managing director of Nortura AS Dag Berlid, chief physician and professor at UiO Øyunn Holen, Doctors Without Borders Merete Hofshagen, Head of Department for Animal Health and Safe Food at The Norwegian Veterinary Institute Audhild Slapgard, farmer and Vice Chairman of Nord-Trøndelag Agrarian Association

Felix Hermandez Nohr Fotograf Photographer

At the end of the talk everyone agreed on what Norway and the rest of the world had to do to tackle this problem. They also gave advice about what YOU can do.

Avoid getting sick as best you can and do not ask the doctor for antibiotics unless you actually need it.

Antibiotics is one of our most important medications. The panel emphasized that we should view it as a gift to society. Because of this, and the fact that the scientists have not come up with any new types of antibiotics for three decades, it is important that we use it correctly. Chief physician Dag Berild cleared up several misconceptions, among them the misconception that patients with less severe types of bacterial infections need antibiotic treatment. He said that only those who are critically ill, with illnesses such as blood poisoning or meningitis, should receive immediate antibiotic treatment.

Be conscious of the problem and make others aware by promoting the topic.

In the poorest countries in the world, where antibiotic treatment is sorely needed, also happens to be where antibiotic resistant bacteria are most common. Norway has one

of the highest scores when it comes to welfare, healthcare and handling of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Øyunn Holen believes we can learn much from studying the problems that these countries are having, while we share our knowledge about health and help to improve healthcare and the development of vaccines.

Take care of the animals.

In addition to the human side of the problem, Merete Hofshagen and Audhild Slapgard emphasize that the animals also suffer from antibiotic resistant bacteria. Therefore, in order to promote good health, we also need to promote animal welfare.

Translated By: Caroline Lensjø-Alvin

The employees at the NT-kiosk are familiar with the voice of the girl from Trønderlag. With a phone in one hand, probably her hair in the other, it is no other than the chief of UKA calling to order sushi.

The living room and kitchen is so clean that even Sheldon Cooper would approve.

The menu for the week is written on the fridge door and shows that three out of five dinners planned for the week contain fish, her favourite. The cherry on top is the writing above the list: Gubben & katten <3. The screensaver on the TV displays a half naked man with a sixpence laying on a bed with a girl in his arms. It’s a Rævne man, from the choir Mannskoret Over Rævne.

-It doesn’t have a filter on what pictures it shows, Ingrid says while playing with her hair.

“Boss”, ehh no!!!

I meet the leader, the boss of UKA 2018 in a shared apartment in Skogveien. Ingrid Espenes is the chief of a board of eight. She is the boss of 64 committee chiefs, and has the main responsibility for several hundred volunteers for October. But try calling her boss and you will see how much it bothers her. Ingrid is the boss who thinks the title itself along with the concept of a “higher position” is horrible.

-To have the role, and the fact that people go around and see me as a boss, ugh, that 36 Issue 07 Year 73

is the worst part, she explains.

The work, on the other hand, she loves.

Especially the teamwork. She promises creative volunteers with a great work ethic.

She wants to be a leader people can trust and not a CEO high in the ranks who never sees who works for her.

-We have to let people work with their ideas and try them out. No one knows who has the best ideas. UKA is built on volunteer work, Ingrid says. Although she has worked on this festival for almost two years, she is very clear about what is most important to this festival: - Most of the work happens on the floor.

Good times, throw up and pizza.

“I want to see everyone”, said Ingrid in her speech at GF where she was chosen for the position as chief of UKA. What does this mean to her?

-The volunteers need to feel safe. They also need to be challenged and given responsibility, but in the right way. We are spending more of the budget this year on making sure we have time and room for everyone, she explains. And enough pizza.

-I’m still not tired of Dr. Oetker pizza, she admits – and that’s after four years and a

lot of hours spent working at Samfunnet.

It might seem like she can’t get her mind of volunteer pizza.

-The atmosphere that is in the room when you sit down at 2 am to eat pizza and chat with people after a long day of work – that’s something I’m going to miss about Ås. You might also have bonded with someone after cleaning up puke for half an hour, she says surprisingly romantic.

It might come as a surprise, but Ingrid is actually a shy introvert. Even though she is from Trønderlag.

-I don’t have an inner Bjarne Brønnbo.

She runs her fingers through her hair, and reveals that mingling and small talk is not her strongest side.

-However Ås makes it easier, you don’t have to look far to find someone you have something in common with.

An out of body feeling There is probably a lot happening on the inside.

-I think a lot and feel a lot. I also have a tendency to display my emotions. I cry more often from happiness than sadness, Ingrid explains. Out of all the work she has done for UKA she points to the end

TWO BEERS

of the miniUKErevue which left a strong impression, emotionally.

-The tears just kept coming – it was so powerful, she says, a little embarrassed.

The chief of UKA is also touched by many different aspects. The community. The spirit. All the work people put in. “I’m so impressed,” has almost become a mantra, which she expresses about almost anyone who contributes in their free time. After thinking about it for a bit I get to hear her definition of the Ås-spirit, and I can’t say I’m surprised -The fact that people give so much of themselves to make others feel good. I was warned that Ingrid was like a walking cliché, and she confirms this, completely shameless.

Can’t go solo UKA is the longest cultural event in Norway. Ingrid’s list of hobbies is almost as long, but one thing she does not like is going solo.

-I had to sing alone at a revue a few years back, and I don’t remember anything. The only thing I remember is that I almost threw up backstage.

Preforming in groups, however, is not

a problem for Ingrid, and she lived the dream when she went on exchange in the US. -Choir, marching band, flags and drama club are just some of her hobbies, and she adds: -I’m not joking when I tell people that the year in the US was like a gap year.

She spent the gap year living with Mormons, and religiously speaking, it was crazy. Ingrid was raised in the traditionally Christian environment found in Trondheim. Her father taught her not to swear, and she says she believes in God. -But do you mean God, like in the bible?

And how important is Jesus really? Ingrid thinks about this for a little while and explains that she has thought a lot about religion after her time in the US. It all started with a 3 That Ingrid ended up going to NMBU was so random that you could almost call it fate, if you believe in that. When she took the Sonans exam in the spring of 2014 she was only one point away from a 4, which is what she had to get to get into the school she wanted to attend in Trondheim. She ended up with her

seventh choice, technology engineer at Ås, a hard pill to swallow for someone from the city.

-I remember it like it was yesterday – we took the wrong exit on the highway and ended up somewhere between farms and fields, and the only thing on my mind was “oh my god”. This was probably a Wednesday. The following Saturday was the famous Tour de Kringla, and by Saturday night I had fallen completely in love with Ås. I went from smitten to head over heels in love.

-Things happen for a reason, says Ingrid, and jokes about this being another cliché.

Although Ingrid spent two years studying technology and machinery, she did not stay. She has two years left at Ås, and is doing her Masters in property. Her goal is to work with expropriation, solving conflicts and handling the people involved in the dispossession of property.

-Justice is important, and I want to contribute to make these processes as fair as possible.

TWO BEERS

Discipline, and the lack of it Ingrid has been active since she started her studies at Ås – in Foreningen Hunkatten, Tekna, as a student ambassador for NMBU, and the next in command for bar for both Samfunnet and UKA. She is also involved in Nordisk Landskamp.

It’s important to stay active in a busy life, right?

-I hate to work out, Ingrid says, and tells me about a shot put competition in Finland: -One of the people I competed against was super drunk, a Danish girl with a broken hand. She threw twice as far as me. Luckily, this experience did not scare her away, as she became head of activities in the board the year after. I have heard rumours that the alcohol involved might be just as important as the actual sport. I ask her what she thinks is easiest to control – the participants at Nordisk Landskamp or Foreningen Hunkatten? Ingrid has to think about it before she answers.

-Neither of them are easy, but I think it is easier to control Hunkatten. They are very disciplined. When someone is speaking, the others listen – no matter what.

Secret meowing Ingrid has many good memories after three and a half years in Foreningen Hunnkatten. Before she moved in with her boyfriend, she lived at Hunkattloftet for a year.

-It was complete chaos and very, very fun.

To get the chance to live with someone from your social society is unique.

She became a X-Hunkatt this year, and is now better known as X^57 Spilledaase.

-Only Hunkatter know what the title means, maybe a couple of Hankatter and PB men. Ingrid’s boyfriend, Olaf, has asked her if she will tell him when they grow old.

-I have told him no. But if we have a daughter who joins Hunkatten I’ll tell her.

Future kids will, of course, have to attend Ås. The shared flat in Skogveien is technically classified as a “family unit”, I point out.

-And no, I don’t have any plans to have children in the near future, Ingrid states.

But Ingrid and Olav’s relationship is rock

38 Issue 07 Year 73

solid.

- I’m in it to win it. The search is over.

Following her brother’s footsteps October is getting closer and closer, and we want to wish Ingrid the best of luck with UKA. And it seems to run in the family as her brother, Jørgen, was the chief of UKA in Trondheim in 2013. He is someone you can ask for advice in difficult situations and is coming to visit during the UR premiere.

So what is UKA? With a section of her hair twirling around her fingers she gives her thoughts on this difficult question.

-UKA is passion. It’s the will to fight for something you believe in. It’s the joy of creating. And most of all: it’s somewhere people can meet and be together.

Epilouge: It was time to let others have a piece of Hunkatten, Ingrid says when she explains why she left. But she is already busy with new things - on September 19th Ingrid "Caprauka" joined Pikekoret IVAR. I stop her for a comment in the halls of Samfunnet, the day after IVAR's birthdayparty where she put on a little show: -Music has always been an important part of my life. I really enjoy being able to sing again, Ingrid says. She has the blessing of both IVAR and Hunkatten to join the choirworld, and want to express her gratitude to both groups.

-It feels good to get to show that you have many different skills. To try to break with peoples opinions of you.

TWO BEERS Our dear UKE chief,

This is a Poem, which could not be translated

We first met when I had just started studying at Ås, and just joined Rævne. Hunkattene invited us to one hell of a pre-party, and I didn’t know at the time that under a big read hat sat the girl I would share a house with. The pictures from that night show that we got along great, but neither of us could say for sure that it was love at first sight. I noticed early on that you were very involved at Ås. You were the chief of Bar for UKA, and you didn’t make me less proud when you became the chief for UKA itself. It’s after all not a given for a guy like me to have someone like you.

At home you are the most organised person I have met, but you can be just as messy. However, you clean this up pretty quick with a to-do list (or ten). You are easily moved, both for good and bad – anything from frozen pizza and leftover tacos after a night at Samfunnet, to videos of goats, make you cry. You watch Harry Potter every night, and don’t hesitate to protest if I try to mix it up. At the same time you are extremely caring and kind to everyone around you, and I feel so lucky to be able to be a part of your family and your group of friends.

I look forward to going through life with you by my side.

Love from your man.

Du har kanskje sett henne før, med sekk og lue som en Hunkatt bør.

Hun lyser opp Samfunnet med sitt store smil, med trønderdialekt og med kassebil.

Ingrid er en multitasker av rang, og er sjeldent sent ute med å by opp til sang.

Brettspill, samtaler og kloke ord, Ingrid er som vår alles kjære mor!

Hun inviterer oss til stadighet på middag, og guacamolen hører hjemme på hvert et lag.

Tinder-, Harry Potter- eller sminke?

Er du i nød vil hun alltid din bekymring minke!

Selv om høysnuen ofte er nær, Er Ingrid bort og opp, ned og rundt, her og der.

Dagens agenda er vanligvis fylt opp, men en dag uten geiter - det kalles en flopp!

Kjære flotte Ingrid, du har et hjerte av gull, En hverdag uten deg - det hadde bare blitt tull!

Vi er så glade i deg og ønsker deg alt godt, Fordi fy søren - du er jammen meg flott!

Xoxo Alexandra, Mari, Nora, Iselin og Oda, Foreningen Hunkatten

You are something else, which we have experienced through working under you for the last 18 months. We have been through a lot together, like sinusitis, sleepovers in Trondheim, colds, dancing on chairs in Bergen, limericks and red wine, more colds, AOS work, and personality tests. And lets not forget about the toe surgery on a table in a cabin, and another sinusitis. Thank god you are related to so many doctors! You are a true shopaholic with a love for orange.

We still wonder how much orange you can actually own, and we will not be surprised if you start running around in an orange morph suit you bought on eBay. You are a true lady with her makeup on point, who prefers pearls and never shows cleavage. Unless the dresscode is gala, but that doesn’t really count…. You have a talent for giving speeches on the spot. While the rest of us useless speakers get worse and worse under the influence of alcohol, the best speeches you give are those you don’t remember.

You never leave your hair alone, or the NT-kiosk. On long days in the office it’s a good thing that Norway’s best sushi is right here in Ås. The days don’t even have to be long – sometimes you’re just hungry.

Even though you can be annoyingly organised and precise, we are so happy you became the patient nanny who looks after the rest of us. There is no question, “I am the boss!” #friendship #amen #environment #sistafriend Biiiiiiiig hugs from your partners in crime, UKEstyret

From FRIKAR to Folk: A Night of Norwegian Dance Chiara Magboo Journalist and photographer

On a rainy Friday in midSeptember, students and spectators gathered at Samfunnet i Ås to participate in an experience unlike any other: the Låvedans or “Hoedown”, the main event of the Åsbobla or “Ås Bubble” theme week. The evening was a celebration of Norwegian culture – specifically, the art of dance – and though the weather outside may have been stormy, the atmosphere inside was full of merriment.

It started with a violin.

The FRIKAR show had begun.

Beneath the dim lights of Aud. Max, the whispering crowd suddenly fell silent as the high-pitched strains of the lone instrument drifted from center stage and echoed across the darkened room.

For those who may be new to the Norwegian cultural dance scene, the FRIKAR Dance Company specializes in performing contemporary and traditional dance in Norway. The company has toured around the world and was featured in the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest alongside the winning act. FRIKAR is known for incorporating various styles of dance and even acrobatics into its live performances, as demonstrated on this particular evening.

Next, the beatboxer appeared; and following him, the rap artist Per Skranglebein, known to many in the audience as a former contestant on the Norwegian talent show, Norske Talenter. Watching, those present waited with a sense of collective anticipation. As Skranglebein lifted the microphone to speak his first words, the beatboxer launched into a fast and furious rhythm, accompanied by the solo violinist.

Moments later, three young men in traditional Norwegian outfits stepped onto the dance floor and began moving to the music.

The crowd roared excitedly; this is what they had been waiting for.

40 Issue 07 Year 73

A portion of the show was dedicated to contemporary dance, where a performer used silk ropes to climb and suspend himself several meters from the floor. Spinning and twisting high above the rapt audience, the artist performed a vertical dance that fully captured one’s attention. With its serene acrobatics, this aerial demonstration was a strong contrast to the energetic tone of the rest of the night.

Indeed, for the most part, tonight’s show was all about the hallingdansen – a traditional Norwegian folk dance named for the valley of Hallingdal in eastern Norway. The dance typically consists of two or three young men performing, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica, “difficult leaps, kicks, and other acrobatic stunts to demonstrate vigor and virility.” This was done with the symbolic intention of outperforming one another in order to catch a woman’s eye.

One can say that these halling-dancers lived up to the hype, if the crowd’s applause was any indication. The spectators were treated to a show featuring many of the moves associated with the traditional dance.

Among them was the hallingkast, where a hat is hung at the end of a long stick raised 2-3m above the ground, with the dancer supposed to leap into the air and kick the hat away. This stunt was done several times throughout the show, met with loud cheering each time.

TUNTREET

The FRIKAR performance was only the first part of the evening. It was followed by a lively few hours of dancing in Festsalen, where students paired up and tried their hand at Norwegian traditional dances.

Some had taken part in the folk dance lessons offered the week before, while others had simply shown up this evening ready to jump in and have a good time. Grooving along to the upbeat songs played live by the band Myllargutens Gammaldansorkester, the crowd was full of smiling faces as everyone practiced their best folk dancing moves.

It was a fitting second half for this event.

Sponsored by Landkreditt Bank and the Stiftinga for Folkemusikk og Folkedans (Council of Folk Music and Folk Dance), the evening had showcased a wide spectrum of Norwegian dance styles ranging from modern fusion to traditional folk.

For this journalist, who happens to be an international student, the night was also another example of the strong sense of Norwegian cultural pride that seems to exist here at NMBU. From the various regional-based foreninger (groups or associations) to the national costumes worn by students during last month’s matriculation ceremony, many interesting things can be said about the traditions that have taken root and blossomed here in our so-called tiny “Ås bubble”.

But that is perhaps a discussion for another time.

For now, let us simply add dancing to the list. The style is up to you.

Intimate Concert: Too Good to be True!

Fano A. H. Grydeland Journalist

Sandra Elena Orre Photographer

Are you a student? Do you love a good show with good sound? Are you just broke and looking for a place to bring your date? Look no further, the Studentsamfunnet in Ås has the answer!

The answer is, of course, a great concert!These concerts are put on by choirs from NMBU, and it is free of charge! Let yourself be persuaded by PikekoretIVAR who had a show in Café Klubben on September 10th. For a little over an hour, they spellbound the crowd with selfwritten songs, covers of famous songs like “Splitterpine” and a translated version of “Sound of Scilence”. They had everything ranging from a beautiful soprano lead, to a dark and rumbling bass. You might think that instruments are needed to make a good show? Oh no, you just need a variety of voices and a good imagination. Creativity was displayed during “Splitterpine” a s IVAR used their voices to“play trombone”.

The show went into overtime because the audience couldn’t stop applauding. There was a great atmosphere in the room. And for those of you in the IvarAasen-society, fear not! IVAR is keeping language alive by translating songs to nynorsk, or new 42 Issue 07 Year 73

Nor wegian, like in their version of “Waterloo”.

But this concert has already passed, so how can one get to experience such a show again?

Luckily, the choirs, Sangkoret Lærken, Mannskoret Over Rævne, Pikekoret IVAR and Noe Ganske Annet, have concerts like this several times a year. They usually lastfor over an hour, and they sing about ten songs. You can get yourself a cold beer or a Coke while you enjoy the show, which you can afford seeing as the show is free. The show gives you a break from the stressful everyday life of a student, you get to enjoy a bit of culture, and most importantly, it is a lot of fun!

P.S. If you feel you are missing out on events like these, follow “Studentsamfunnet i Ås” on Facebook. You are doing yourself a favour by simply checking it out.

Committee Party

Students partying in community work spirit!

Katja Terzic Journalist Translated By: Rebekka Bedringås

Erik Tylleskär Photographer

‘Don’t stop me now’ by Queen. That was all that was written in the last text message to an unfamiliar number from the party the day before.

Samfunnets committees and UKA’s heads of committees got together Wednesday the 5th of September at samfunnets premises after receiving a special invitation to the annual event. The guests got extra perks at the closed event, for being engaged and dedicated to their voluntary work at Studentsamfunnet in Ås.

It you weren’t among us, then you are probably among the rest of the students who study, write, read and fail... However, if you put your effort into committee work for Samfunnet, this great party is included in the perks.* * The payment is given in form of voluntary work. Being a committee member is of course free of charge** ** Notice: free after paying the regular member fee

Sound, light, disco and booking dressed up in toga

Don't stop me now I'm having such a good time I'm having a ball Don't stop me now If you wanna have a good time just give me a call

Samfunnet and UKA’s committee members and chief ’s all sang along to the chorus and several other classics throughout the evening. We were given the opportunity to send our very own song requests. Everyone sang at the top of their lungs to Samfunnets national anthem, proud of course. Even though it was entertaining enough to drink, talk to your acquaintances, sing along to the music and meet people from other committees, you would miss a lot if you only did this.

On stage in Festsalen, the prices on beer drastically went up and down during the night. During the evening people suddenly ran out of the room as fast as they could, however, not everyone got what was happening. A few moments later, several people discovered that the

screen on stage showed that the price for a beer was down to 20kr. It felt like there was no time to think or even decide (if you should buy) – during that time the price had already gone up to twice the amount before you could reach the bar.

After everyone had gotten pretty tipsy, Festsalen was filled with people in all kinds of outfits, everything from Santa Claus and Chefs to old roman togas.

The different committees had each chosen their theme and dress code for the party.

Picture the swarm of all these people that you could make your acquaintance with, running around half naked or dressed as superman or groceries. Tuntreet chose the alternative and groundbreaking theme "total freedom". The editors consisted of hippies, free-the-nipple-advocates, a Mexican and there was even one dressed as the statue of liberty.

The peculiar committee party came to its end before midnight, and no matter where you went after that, the evening felt complete. The party felt like a privilege with its great atmosphere all night – which came from the combination of sing-alongs, funny costumes and extremely cheap alcohol. The members of the committees celebrated their voluntary work at Samfunnet. The atmosphere was beyond what it usually is, because it was based on the community work spirit.

Not even the head smashing, nauseating hangover the next day made anyone doubt that.

Liv Anna wants more people to get involved in the local community Jardar Lindaas Bringedal Journalist and photographer

Sandra Elena Orre Photographer

Green Festival was arranged for the 6th time on the second weekend of September. The leader of Green Festival, Liv Anna, wants both the local people and the students to get more involved in the community.

Green Festival is an event put on by Miljøpartiet De Grønne, a Norwegian political party who focus on environment and sustainability. This year the event was given a little extra attention. On Friday, they had green PechaKucha, with a focus to create and strengthen the local involvement.

On Saturday they had a market, where they sold food from different booths, you could get help fixing your bike and there was even a concert. The festival came to a close on Sunday after a showing of the movie “Demain”, a movie about sustainable use of resources.

Liv Anna is very happy with this year’s festival and points to some things the staff was extra happy with. The new concept of serving food, that everyone who helped out with the market on Saturday got a booth, that local musicians had a concert, and all the local farmers and people who produce food. “We were also very lucky with the weather for the four hours of the market on Saturday”. The improvement lies in marketing the event, and even more because of local contribution.

In the time to come, the hosts of the festival want to work towards a better cooperation 44 Issue 07 Year 73

Translated By: Caroline Lensjø-Alvin

TUNTREET between the Ås community and NMBU. They also hope to get more local people who can contribute. Liv Anna wants the spirit of the festival to spread out and reach into peoples daily lives, and in Ås in general.

“There are so many unspoiled resources in and around Ås. Why doesn’t the Ås community work more with NMBU?”. She also points to the importance of student involvement, meaning that they need to be able to contribute and be involved with Ås community and NMBU. “It is important to look beyond traditional views so we can start looking at things with a new perspective”.

Liv Anna encourage Ås community to do more to encourage the students to stay in Ås after they are done with their studies. “Why are we only talking about commuting and timetables for trains, when there are job opportunities right here in Ås? It is possible to start a shared office right here”. However, she also points to the fact that there needs to be a customer base here first. When there is a base, someone will hopefully be brave enough to create new spaces in the centre of Ås.

Last, but not least, Liv Anna encourages people to get involved in the local community, and to make things happen. “Things that are positive for the environment are usually positive for us as well”.

Things that are positive for the environment are usually positive for us as well.

Preaching Pries To hang out with yourself only: The art of relaxing I love activity. I like having a lot to do. I need pressure in order to perform. A lot of appointments.

Planned weekends. I live strongly in contact with other people. I want to do the things that I find enjoyable. When nothing is happening, I get bored.

That is how I lived for many years. Then something gave. There were too many appointments. Too much socializing. I felt like I had experienced everything.

There was little to look forward to.

Everything was ok, but nothing was ok. I had everything, but that was all I had. I was bored and I asked myself: Is there not more to life than this? Is this really all there is to it?

The bishop gave me 12 weeks leave with the themes: Nature as a spiritual guide. I spent one week alone on an island outside of Holmestrand. I went on a pilgrimage through Sørmarka to Enebakk church.

I travelled to a monastery in Italy. I spent eight days on a totally silent retreat somewhere in the big forests of Ă&#x2DC;sterdalen.

I seeked loneliness. I tried to be alone with myself.

I lived by the motto: Only God and I exist in this world.

How did it go? I learned that being alone with yourself can be very hard. Not all of the pieces fell into place. Life remained the same, but something important had changed.

I discovered the Silence. It was no longer an enemy, but a friend. The Silence taught me to make peace with myself. I believe the silence is God. I do not know what else to call it.

I have read about those who have had enough and left the city life and its people, during the first centuries of Christianity. They went out into the desert. They were called desert fathers and desert mothers. They lived in small communities or alone with themselves. The hustle and bustle got too superficial. They sought lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s depths. They sought the Silence.

To lose one self is to lose what we need the most. If I let the pressure and social media eat me up, what am I left with?

Relaxing is about opening up. It is about opening a door into yourself. Could anything be more important than this?

I believe the same thing goes for believing in God. To relax? Yes, it is about relaxing. Being yourself is enough, more than enough. I can be who I am.

Therefore, I must not lose myself. Time alone is important: To hang out with yourself only. Is this possible when I am never really alone in the Silence?

Could it be that this is how I meet God? Sigurd A Bakke, Student Priest NMBU Translated By: Magnus Horken Rekkedal

Du tar på deg sko, og du vandrer av sted, for å hente den sykkelen du lot være i fred.

Ja, endelig fremme, går du bort der den stod, men der står ingen sykkel, hverken én eller to.

Så til deg som en gang hadde en fin sykkel å miste: Du blir nok ikke alene, nei, du er tvilsomt den siste.

Hello every Snurrebass and future Snurrebass The Swing Club Snurrebass continues spreading joy at samfunnet, and with packed Monday and Thursday courses we have tried our best at getting Tora and Thorvald ready for UKA. We are continuing to spread swing joy in Ås, and with a beginner course during UKA itself we hope we’ll be able to teach the final stragglers that have yet to show up during a Thursday course. Because as we all know it’s (almost) obligatory for a NMBU-student to know how to swing dance! Maybe you saw us at Graskurs and thought it would be fun to try out. Well, there’s nothing stopping you from taking a look at our courses.

Everybody’s welcome and no, you don’t need to bring a partner, we’ll fix one for you! So even if you can’t differentiate your right foot from your left, just remember “dancing is just flailing with style” Poster Girl Hans-Jørgen Sand

Vi jobber for tiden med å gjøre det lettere for folk å varsle dersom de opplever uønsket seksuell oppmerksomhet i studenthverdagen. For at folk skal varsle må man bl.a. redusere skamfølelse og fordommer rundt offerrollen. Stadig vekk skjer det handlinger som er på grensen, som er i gråsonen av hva folk synes er greit.

Disse handlingene er det spesielt vanskelig å si ifra om; få ønsker å være følsomme, kipe eller vanskelige.

Varslingssystemet på NMBU sine sider har blitt mer tilgjengelig og forståelig, dette er veldig bra. Vi mener imidlertid at NMBUs, Samfunnets, SiÅs og hele studentsamfunnets nulltoleranse for seksuell trakassering bør være enda mer synlig i studiehverdagen. Rektor Mari Sundli Tveit og Leder av studenttinget Tord Hauge har allerede stilt seg tydelig bak dette.

Nye plakater med info om varslingssystemet og problemer rundt seksuell trakassering kommer derfor snart, og vi håper «nulltoleranse» betyr handling mot urett, ikke bare ord.
