| Summary: | Concordian, March 15, 1985 Page 11 Faculty scholarship program by Karl Jacobson The final selection process for the Faculty Scholarship Program will take place Fri-day, March 15 and Friday, March 22 when a total of 60 high school senior semi-finalists arrive on campus to be interviewed by faculty members. Each year, 30 incoming freshmen receive la $10,000 scholarship that is paid over a four-year period. To qualify for the pro-igram, students must rank in the top 5% 'of their high school graduating class, score Jin the top 10% on their ACT, PSAT or SAT exam, and must have participated in a variety of extra-curricular activities. "These are top-notch students," said junior Andy Rosemurgy who is coor-dinating the weekend's events. Rosemurgy says interviews with faculty are being set up for the students as are meetings with current campus leaders. A banquet and reception with former Faculty Scholars will be held Friday. The perspec-tives will then stay with last year's award recipients. "Everyone coming has a chance to win," said Lee Johnson .direc-tor of admissions, "but the competition is very stiff." The Faculty Scholarship Program was devised by Concordia and funded by Concordia's faculty and staff to recognize academic achievement. "It shows that Concordia does value academic excellence," Rosemurgy said. Building Character and Other Things I Hate by Kris Troff For years area Minnesotans have been bombarded with coverage of every North Dakota sporting event imaginable. They televise the quarterfinals, the semifinals, the finals and assorted consolation games of Class C, Class B and Class A North Dakota everything. Certainly it wouldn't hurt to televise only the finals and spare Minnesotans the trouble of having to find an alternative to watching T.V. for six months out of the year. Local television stations are in love with the Nodak sports scene. They have the "Irv Inneger Show?" Well, how about the, "John Eidsness Show?" The local paper splashes its sports section with the latest North Dakota athletic accomplishment: "FARGO NORTH WINS" "FARGO NORTH WINS AGAIN" "FARGO NORTH WINS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGA\Un (HOW EXCITING?), And then they'll throw in something like: "LARIMOURE BEATS MAYVILLE-PORTLAND" Isn't that nice. Okay, who beat who? Where are these towns? And why are they making headlines? The Forum should add a supplement to their sports pages called "A Guide To North Dakota Sports For Minnesotans Who Would Rather Be Watching Minnesota Sports But Since They Are Forced To Watch North Dakota Sports They'Would Like To Know What Is Going On." It might clear things up. When the local news media does take a chance and mention some Minnesota sporting event, they downplay it. While a North Dakota team might "DESTROY," "MASSACRE" or "OBLITERATE" their opponents. Minnesota teams always seem to be "stumbling to victory," "getting lucky," and "slipping by" theirs. It's as if Minnesota exists as a lower life form in athletics. I can understand that North Dakotans want to see North Dakota sports but Minnesotans would also like the privilege of viewing Minnesota sports. There should be equal time * given to both states. Fargo-Moorhead is borderline North Dakota-Minnesota. Televi-sion audiences and newspaper circulations cater to both states, NOT just one. UPDATE: W-DAY Channel Six took a daring step by televising the district 23 Boys Basket-tall Finals for the first time anywhere. They also televised the Minnesota Region 8 BBB finals live from the Concordia Fieldhouse. Because of the stiff competition and the scholarship's high standards. Johnson says that he expects these people to be the core of future student leaders at Concordia.

Things Matter That Don't by Eric Iversori, Steve Stromberg, Eric Nesheim Wow! Spring Break! Here we are! What would we do without it! As seniors, it was time to let our hair down, clip the toenails, clean out the closet, and let it all hang out. Since we have no lack of ingenuity, we carefully plotted and planned the excite-ment and adventure that lie ahead. What follows are the fabricated fantasies of three seniors who have probably never been to Montana. Eric Nesheim, senior from Osage, Iowa. With tests, papers and other things that don't matter long behind me, I was off on possibly the most exciting break ever recorded. Ten days to myself—how would I start? First I jetted home to Osage, Iowa, •i visit the simple farm folk. I could not stand it for more than a day, what with the outdoor bathrooms, the savages to the north always invading and the simple fact that you have to hunt for your lunch. Soon. 'I WAS OUT OF THERE." I could not decide whether I wanted to go to Florence, Italy, and create great master-pieces, go to Egypt and discover the secrets of the pyramids, go to Babylon and replant the great hanging gardens, or sit at home and drool over the twins on Double Trouble. I ended up compromising. I watched Double Trouble while I toured the sugar beet plant in Moorhead. Moorhead is beautiful this time of year, something a lot of people didn't find out until a little later than expected this year. Good thing Concordia did not decide to cancel class until late on Mon-day or a lot of innocent people could not have been out on the road. Steve Stromberg, senior from Wadena. Minnesota. I was really excited for Spring Break. Months in advance I began saving money for the trip. I quit school and got a job as a nutritional analyst to earn a few "extra bucks"! I knew I wanted to travel, and since most students head to Florida for break, I took out one extra GSL, and made a reserva-tion on Grim airlines for Daytona. • The excitement really began when the 1 plane took off. Four students from Fred's Junior College of Manitoba hi-jacked the plane to Vail, Colorado. The pilot, extremely confused, and a bit disoriented, accidently flew the plane to Greenland. I took a lot of photos and was shot at several times by the Greenland blue army. After a couple of hours of rest, I swam to Nova Scotia to harpoon some whales. But those whales had such sad eyes; I just could not harpoon them. Soon I realized I had spent a lot of money, it was halfway through break, and I did not have a tan. I flew back to Moorhead and started practicing how to say. "how was your break" in Latin. Then the real fun began. I called up Eric Nesheim on the phone and he told me all about his trip to the beet plant. Whoa, did we have a time. It was a super, super spring break. Eric Iverson, senior from New York. For my spring break I went to Daytona Beach, but I didn't have enough money for bus fare, so I had to astrally project my inner being there while having my body shipped air freight. Needless to say, getting a tan was a bit difficult for the first few days. I just sat in my hotel room catching up on old epi°odes of "My Mother the Taxidermist" and scaring the wits out of drunken frat boys by pretending to be a kindly door to door beer salesman and then turning into a ghoulish replica of the assistant Dean of students. Then my body finally arrived but much to my chagrin, the package proved to con-tain a frost-free refrigerator/freezer with op-tional ice maker. Suddenly I was filled with existential dread and experienced a pro-found karmic rebirth whence I became one with the universe. Tne next morning I found myself on the floor of my bedroom with a shoe in my mouth and the words"cha cha carumba" written with lipstick on my forehead. Some break huh?
