Your 2
Cents

by: Calais

Question one- Why when
you buy a book for a class,
do you have to buy a revised.
edition for the next year
and ... Why does it cost so
much more when only a few
things are changed?

Question two-How much in
the world has actually
changed so dramatically in
one year, that all the text
books in the world need to be
revised?

These are my questions for
this edition. Send your
comments or questions to
Calais at Over the edge. -

And Now for Some-
thing About Jugging

by Kierin Mackenzie

Jugging comes from a cult movie classic, The Blood of
Heroes. This gem was made in 1988, in Australia and stars
Rutger Hauer, and Joan Chen. It is set in a post-apocalyptic
world, and is quite entertaining. The theme element which
the movie revolves around is a sport called Jugging. The
sport is fast, hard, and simple. Jugging at this school will
try to stay as close to the original feel and action of the
sport, but keep it as safe as possible for the participants.

The Rules of Jugging are simple. Only the Quick may
touch the dog’s skull, (We’ll Probably be using a Coke Bottle
with a hole cut out of the side) and the Quick has to get the
dog’s skull on the opposite team’s stake. As soon as this
happens, the game is over, and the party begins. Time is
kept by throwing stones at a piece of metal, making a clank-
ing sound. As soon as the first stone is thrown, the Quicks
charge into the circle, to try and grab the dog’s skull. Each
period lasts 100 stones, and play can go up to three periods
long.

There are five positions on each team. First, of course is
the Quick. Then there is the Slash, who is armed with a
stick with a sort of hook at the end. This is to pull other
people down and out of the way. The Drive, and the
Backcharge are armed with sticks with large pads at the end.
Their job is to pin people, and clear a path so the Quick can
makea good run. Lastly is the Hook. A Hook will be armed
in our version with a stick, and with another stick on a swivel,
so it may rotate. The Hook’s job is to Protect the Quick.
All the sticks will be made of heavily padded rattan, and
everyone will wear armor. Eye protection will be manda-
tory, as will, in all likelihood, mouth guards. Cups and such
will be highly encouraged.
4 Jugging is for women and

men alike, as well as younger

and older people. As I write

Student Success?

The Saga

by Jason

Curby: Do you realize that most people use only two per-

cent of their mind’s potential?

Me: That much, huh?

Curby: Seriously. Why not improve that?

Me: You’ ve got this old Vauxhall floored going up this hill.

If I used any more of my brain at university, my cerebral

cortex would seize up like this motor’s going to.
Curby: You’re so left-brain. Your
so rational, logical, critical. Every
once in a while you’ ve got to kick
back and let the images flow. Let
the right-side of your brain take
over and see patterns, see how thins

are connected.
Me: Right.

Curby: For my English 270 assign
ments, I use the Learning Skills
Center’s “clustering” all the time
now. With the key word in the
middle of the page and all my
brainstorms branching out from it,

I create a picture of my ideas —I tap the right side of my
brain, get that little creative edge.

Me: Over the Edge. I thought you were a scientist, not an
artist.

Curby: As my uncle Marcel Proust used to say, “Listen,
you young first-year student. You don’t receive wisdom.
You must discover if for yourself after a journey that no
one can take for you or spare you.”

Me: The journey this morning is one I could have been
spared —but I guess it beats walking up the hill when it’s
freezing.
