SERVING AUGUSTAN" SI NCE 19( Press Photo O.A.R. is scheduled to perform at the Elmen on the evening of April 28. Photos by Carla Wormington Dr. Hunter "Patch" Adams drew all attention up to the stage on Monday evening with his antics Friday, March 3, 2006 Sioux Falls, S.D. Volume 94, Issue 14 BY EMILY VADNER MIRROR EDITOR -IN- CHIEF It was officially announced on Tuesday night that the "big" band corn-ing to Augustana's campus this spring will be popular college band O.A.R. The big event committee, headed by Andy Rhode, Mal Larson and Christina Hausman, has been working hard all year to find a band that would come play at Augustana, sending in offers to various well-known bands. "We've worked on this, starting in the summer," Rhode said. "O.A.R. is the [band] we stuck with." Rhode was unable to release the names of the other bands, as they may end up coming next year. O.A.R., standing for "of a revolution" and known best for songs like "That was a crazy game of poker," is signed to come play the Elmen Center on the evening of April 28. "They're a college rock band," Rhode said. "They jam out a lot and are guitar and saxophone driven. It's some-thing we thought everyone would like." Originally, the committee was trying to get the band to come in the fall, but their touring schedule was not routed near here. So, they were thrilled when O.A.R. was able to schedule the concert this April. This appeared to be the reaction at the premier party on Tuesday as well. The party was held in the Back Alley, where coffeehouse drinks were offered to the approximately 250 people, as well as coupons for $5 off student ticket prices. In order to reveal the band name, volunteers were pulled up on stage to put on shirts, that when they turned around spelled Clay Aiken. However, they had some of those volunteers sit down, so that the shirts spelled out O.A.R. instead. "I thought that it was a great response," (See O.A.R. -Page 12) Elmen to host dance marathon BY THOR TRIPP MIRROR STAFF WRITER Who says South Dakota is all flat farmland? On Saturday, March 4, 2006, students right here on campus will be stepping into the forest for the second annual dance marathon, a Sioux Valley Children's Miracle Network fundraiser at the Elmen Center. The event, which is themed "A Viking Voyage Through The Forest", will take place from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. and will gather proceeds from participants throughout the day. Most impor-tantly, 100 percent of the dona-tions accumulated will go direct-ly to help support local children with life-threatening diseases. For any individuals who have retired thier dancing shoes, how-ever, Augustana's dance marathon will have much more to offer than simply a dance floor. (See DANCE MARATHON -Page ii) OAR. coming to Augustana campus Student tickets sold before made available to public Adams brings advice on acquiring joy in daily life BY EMILY VADNER MIRROR EDITOR -IN-CHIEF Dr. Hunter "Patch" Adams, the man made famous by the movie Patch Adams and his push for social justice in the medical field, came to Augustana's cam-pus Monday to deliver his message on how to live a life of joy. Throughout his visit, Adams spoke at several events in front of students and community members, including a lead-ership luncheon, a nursing class and his main speaking event Monday evening. Despite the number of places he spoke, his message remained focused on the same theme: living a life a joy and hap-piness. "Happiness is that state of being where one's celebration of life is obvi-ous in their actions," Adams said. "I'm not talking about a moment in time. I'm talking a platform from which to launch your life." In discussing this, Adams talked about how he reached a point at 18 where he was sick of living in a world of violence, which was when he tried to commit suicide. However, after being admitted to a hospital, he realized that dying was not the solution. "One doesn't have to die in a world of violence," Adams said. "One can take a stand. I decided at 18 not to have another bad day." This was the jumping off point for his career in social justic and medicine, where he hoped and continues to hope to use love and joy as a solution to society's many problems. These main problems he discussed are media's "pain para-digme" (meaning the abundance of neg-ativity presented), people's lack of moti-vation in stimulating themselves and the overuse of medication to try to obtain happiness. "Depression is a pharmacutical dis-ease," Adams said. "I've never disliked a patient enough to prescribe anti-depres-sants." Adams pressed that people's attitudes and how they feel is a choice. One can choose to be happy, or one can choose to be sad. However, it is what he/she chooses to define their life that matters. "I'm glad to be sad, it's the right response," Adams said, in regards to emotions during times of trial. "But, to have it become who you are is not right." He also spoke briefly about the film Patch Adams, starring Robin Williams, and how he felt it portrayed his mission. Adams stated that many of the antics used in the film were downplayed to make it appropriate, especially the scene involving a gynocologist conference. He also stated that his closest friend who died was actually a man, not a woman as (See ADAMS-Page 12) Also In the News: Forum: Variety: Sports:. The Big.
