SERVING A UGUSTANA SINCE 1908 Friday, Oct. 3, 2003 Sioux Falls, S.D. Sports Why is this man so easy to hate? V7,1.W:"4 4-wr-a Awtari Viking Days 2003 • . . Photo by T.J. Nelson Homecoming King Ryan Ovenden and Queen Jackie Hingst revel in the warmth of applause at the Viking Days coronation ceremony Sunday. Royal Blush Viking Days kicks off with coronation BY LAURA VOLT MIRROR STAFF WRITER The Viking Days celebration began by crowning Jackie Hingst and Ryan Ovenden as this year's homecoming queen and king at coronation on Sunday, Sept. 28 in the Elmen Center. Other king candidates included Micah Aberson, Dan Breuer, Matt Grandbois, Todd Manion, and Adam Weber. Queen candi-dates included Lauren Butterfield, Kira Christenesen, Molly Grimm, Megan Mathison and Teresa Resch. The Mistresses of Ceremony were Alyssa Barrick and Rita Von Seggern. The ceremo-ny included music by the Augustana Band and the Augustana Choir, a welcome by President Bruce Halverson, and a greeting from the 2002 homecoming queen, Amy Johnson. Hingst's majors are psychology and soci-ology. Hingst is originally from Hooper, Nebraska. She transferred to Augustana the second semester of her freshman year. Her activities include Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Life Check Bible Study, outreach, mentoring, volleyball, and Psychology Club. Hingst is considering attending Bible College or seminary next year for Christian counseling. "I want to counsel in a ministry setting," she said. Ovenden's majors are exercise science and fitness management. Ovenden is origi-nally from Sioux Falls. His Augustana activ-ities include football, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, outreach, Under the Influence of Christ, Throwdown, Life Check Bible Study, and Student Advisory Committee.

In the 1950s in was all about rock n' roll; the hippies of the '60s sang about free love; '70s disco defied basic human morality; and the '80s brought us music television. However, in the late 1990s and early 21st century, the contro-versy has been less about the content of the music and more about the format. Just a few weeks ago, the Recording Institute Association of America (RIAA) started suing individual file sharers. In fact, the RIAA has contacted the adminis-tration here at Augustana identifying spe-cific students that have engaged in illegal copyright file sharing activities. The history of file sharing began with Napster, a computer program that allow its users to send and receive files over the Internet. According to CNN, Napster was as revolutionary as vinyl. In just a few short years after its con-ception, Napster was blamed by the recording industry for a loss of revenue totaling billions of dollars. Why would anyone want to buy music when they could download it free from the Internet? The best part was that it all seemed legal. That was until the RIAA decided to sue Napster for copyright infringement. As anyone who has ever downloaded music knows, Napster is now as dead as eight-tracks. However, to the dismay of the RIAA, Napster-like services were resur-rected in the form of programs like Kazaa, Morpheus and Gnutella. All of this has spelled disaster for the recording industry. Since 1999, CD sales are down 26 percent, and 14 percent fewer titles have been released according to the October 10, 2003 Wired magazine. All of this adds up to roughly $1 billion in lost revenue for the industry and artists com-bined. But the RIAA still had a trick up its sleeve. (See PIRACY — Page ii) Next week Variety Mobile art causes students to wonder Forum John's musing inspires Itchin' for seafood? Check out the Crab Shack. Initiative could cap tuition BY CHAPMAN RIEDEL MIRROR STAFF WRITER For first-year student Kaeti Hinck, the check written at Validation for her first semester at Augustana cleared only because she worked 50 hours a week this summer at a health food restaurant. "I now have negative $65 in my checking account and am wondering how I am going to pay for second semester," she said. For Hinck, and many other students across the nation, college costs can be overwhelm-ing, and at times even crippling. To make matters worse, institutions of higher learning are making a habit of raising the cost of tuition with each passing year, making the life of a college student more and more stressful. U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce Chairman John A. Boehner (R-Ohio), along Chairman of the U.S. House Subcommittee on 21st Century Competitiveness Rep. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-California)is championing a movement in Congress to hold institutions of higher learning to greater accountability when it comes to the ever-ascending cost of a university education. A Sept. 4, 2003 report released by the two conservative congressmen notes that "according to the Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance, cost factors prevent 48 percent of college-qualified high school graduates from attending a four-year institution, and 22 percent from attending any college at all." For years, colleges and universities have been blaming state budget cuts as a justifica-tion for tuition price hikes. Sagging state budgets and the U.S. economy slump are also reasons said to have caused higher education institutions in raising the bar when it comes to cost. In addition, the luxurious demands of students and parents can be blamed for price increases say school representatives. In (See INITIATIVE— Page 12)
