- 184 students have ap-plied for Civitas. Three reasons you should read this issue: 1 Details on Wednesday's basketball games. Pages 8, 9 2 Kin opens with the bang of a gavel. Page 5 3 Reflections from down south. Page 4 Jane Kuper THE AUGUSTANA Friday February 23, 2007 MIRROR Vol. XCVI No. 12 ESTABLISHED 1908 I SIOUX FALLS, S.D. Incoming class will include first Civitas students co-directors Geoffrey Dipple and Michael Mullin. In fall 2005, Academic Dean and Vice President of Academic Affairs Bob Kiner assembled a group of faculty and administra-tion to discuss the idea of imple-menting an honors program at Augustana. The program was approved by the Board of Trust-ees in December 2006. Journalism professor Jeffrey Miller, a member of the original committee, said that for the most part, the idea was well received among faculty "We all thought it would be a good idea: he said. Earlier this year, recommen-dations for the program were brought forth at the faculty fall meeting. "It received firm faculty sup-port:' said Dipple. Mullin and he were asked to head the Civitas committee this past December. The committee is in the pro-cess of recruiting students to Augustana and informing them about the Civitas program. Stu-dents will submit applications and be selected on the basis of ACT scores and GPA. See CIVITAS, page 12 By Ashley White Mirror Staff Writer Roughly 40 incoming fresh-men will be the first to gradu-ate from Augustana with Civitas Honors in 2011. The committee in charge of Augustana's new honors pro-gram is currently in the process of working out the details, said Viking split ends season Ashley Ballou/The Mirror Ashley Holiday is congratulated by her team during the last regular season game against USD on Wednesday. By Karyn Schubert Mirror Co-Editor It was the final regular season game against the rival University of South Dakota, and not a single dead coyote hit the floor. Sources who request to re-main unnamed said that there was a coyote in the building, but that Sioux Falls Arena staff took it away before it could be tossed. "I was waiting for that coyote to come out:' said senior Matt Paulson. "It's always a boost. Last year it did, and [Eric] Krogman came out and hits three threes in a row for nine points:' Despite the absent dead ani-mal, Wednesday night's games between Augustana and USD put the teams closer to the end of an in-state, in-conference ri-valry. The two Augustana teams split the games, with the women winning 75-63 and the men fall-ing 86-71. The Vikings still have one more year to battle against USD before the Coyotes move on to Division I. However, there is a sense that a strong competition is coming to an end. "We're going to lose all the pre-game stuff that goes along with these games," USD head coach Dave Boots said. "We lost it with [South Dakota] State, we lost it with Morningside, and now we lost it with Augustana." Augustana athletes, fans and coaches will be missing a bit of that rivalry in years to come. Partly because of the extra pressure and excitement it brings. "It's easier to get psyched up for the game," senior Ali Ad-amson said. "It's harder to get ex-cited during games like Manka-to. The pressure's good, keeps you on your toes." That excitement showed in the men's game too, as USD's Eric Hall dove on senior Nick Olson to grab the ball. "It's was frustrating, but it was kind of fun too," Olson said. "Hall jumped on me and som-how it was a jump ball:' See BBALL, page 11 Detailed info on the games page 8, 9 Dean finalists chosen, invited to visit campus By Kaeti Hinck Mirror Co-Editor The Dean Search Committee has chosen the finalists for senior vice president for ac-ademic affairs and dean of the college. "We're anticipating inviting four peo-ple to campus," said Jane Kuper, ex-officio member of the committee and vice presi-dent for human resources. "There will be two men and two women:' The finalists were selected during the committee's meeting on Tuesday, and have been contacted about the position. "We are excited about the four very capable fi-nalists that have emerged from the search process:' President Rob Oliver said in an e-mail. "All candidates have exceptional academic backgrounds and sig-nificant experience," Kuper said. "In some cases it was just the amount of experience [that helped us make the decision]. Others more than some:' The meeting included a conference call with Betty Asher of Greenwood & Associ-ates, Inc., the firm hired to facilitate the search. The committee also reviewed the information provided by the candidate's ref-erences. "Each one has particular strengths that would make any one of them a fine dean," said Murray Haar, chair of the committee and the religion department. "Now we will see how they do meeting students and ad-ministration and faculty...This is the inter- See DEAN, page 12
