Saturday's Squirrel.

Modern day Oliver Twist: ND Squirrel

Yes, it's been rough winter. Without any doubt, our furry friends have felt the brunt of it. Recently, while walking to the Duncan Student Center, this squirrel was spotted forging for whatever could be found. Noticing that someone was passing by, the squirrel paused, approached, and gave a look that would melt any cold heart. On being seen, this squirrel non-verbaled, "You wouldn't happen to have a nut would ya?"

Napping on the job: Mr. Carson

... back! Yes, the celebrated King Charles Cavalier Spaniel named after the dutiful, discreet, and trusted butler from Downton Abbey, Mr. Carson, is back. It so happened that Mr. Carson's owner was out of town, and desiring not be kenneled, Mr. Carson sought a brief spell at Steds with Fr. Ralph. Living an active lifestyle, Mr. Carson is engaging, desiring always to meet any and every student wherever he or she may found them. One problem. It takes a lot of energy to do this, but while this doggie's spirit may be strong, his flesh is weak. On being tired out from being on the go, Mr. Carson non-verbaled, "Where's the snooze button?"

Firing it up: Griffin Reidy

... more heroes! Yes, there are more heroes at Steds. Who are they? They are our Ed's culinary representatives... our servers! They staff Ed's faithfully and always have a smile, and nothing, and I mean nothing, will prevent them from keeping their appointed rounds. Yup, they're just like the post service! And when you encounter one of these representatives, it's a moment that you'll won't forget, and you'll find yourself coming back for more! One of our heroes is Griffin Reidy. On being an ed's culinary representative, Reidy, Steds freshman and resident Illinoisan, shared, “Nothing gets the fellas of Steds more fired up for a night of studies than a panini and a milkshake!"

Spring is...

At St. Olaf's...

... in the air. It really is! Oh, it's still cold and grey, and snow is on the ground. Yet, there is a slight, slight warmth in the wind, letting on that winter's grasp is slowly waning. So, perhaps now is a good time to reflect on the height of winter's hold on campus, and what better way to do that than reflecting on that which grabbed the attention of campus and the nation, St. Olaf's. An ice chapel built on North Quad by residents of Fisher Hall, now Coyle Hall, living in Zahm, the chapel was the center of attention, even grabbing national headlines, as well as the scene of an outside Mass where over two thousand students attended. Melted away during a brief warm up, St. Olaf's is now just a memory, but what a memory it was while it lasted. On the ice chapel, Fr. Ralph said dryly, "I found the experience of St. Olaf's bit cold."
