Since 1888
Professor runs for House
By Claire DesHotels
cmdeshotels@csbsju.edu
CSB/SJU�s Richard Bohannon is running as a DFL candidate to represent District 13A in the Minnesota House of Representatives in this year�s election against Republican candidate, Jeff Howe.
Bohannon has been a professor at CSB/SJU for six years and has taught in both the Theol�ogy and Environmental Studies departments. He currently lives in Cold Spring where he is a board member of the Planning Commission. If he wins next week, this will be his first elected public position.
Bohannon was not originally planning on running, but considered it after being urged by a few local residents.
�I felt it was time for me to step up to the plate and do my bit for the community,� Bohan�non said.
The major issues Bohannon addresses in his campaign are the budget, education and healthy land.
If elected, Bohannon would be required to balance the budget. He is concerned with doing this responsibly. In the past, billions of dollars have been borrowed from education in order to balance the budget.
�That doesn�t count as balanced to me.
Education is not where we need to be
borrowing from,� Bohannon said.
Given his background in teaching,
Bohannon is passionate about the education

Committee decides on potential schedule
Alumna crafts costumes
A 5-day cycle schedule to begin next fall

Many of the most significant stars of the CSB/SJU�s Theater Department�s production of Little Shop of Horrors will not be seen on stage. Costume designers, lighting technicians and set and prop designers are pulling out all the stops for the horror comic book themed show opening next Friday.
Bennie alumna returns to her theater roots
�This theater department was and still is very strong in terms of making you excited and
making you want to go into
theater,� said Amelia Cheever, a 1987 CSB graduate who recently joined the department as the new full-time costume designer.
After graduating from St. Ben�s with a theater degree, Cheever, originally from Pennsylvania,
decided to stay in the Midwest and work in theaters profession�ally. She attributes much of her
success to Bain Boehlke, the artis�tic director of the Jungle Theater in Minneapolis. In January of 1993, Cheever began working as a costume design assistant.
�It was an exciting job,� Cheever said. �There�s not a lot of glory, but you get to make a lot of decisions.�
Since then, Cheever has also worked at the Guthrie Theater where she had the opportunity to collaborate with what she
describes as some of the best
actors, directors and designers in the world. She has designed an impressive 100 shows and assisted with over 60 others.

The five-day schedule commit�tee released its recommended schedule for the 2013 CSB/SJU academic year on Tuesday in a move that will change not only when students will attend classes, but how often.
The group, comprised of four faculty members as well as
representatives of the Office of the Registrar, Academic Advising and Academic Dean Richard Ice, has worked to construct a new schedule that will work to relieve congested classrooms, long Link lines and provide more schedul�ing flexibility for both teachers and students.
�We�re going to get a more normal week, a typical Mon�day through Friday schedule,�
Academic Dean Richard Ice said. �We�ve solved a lot of the prob�lems, including the problem of having back-to-back classes at
opposite campuses.�
The recommended new sched�ule, now awaiting submissions from individual departments, would reduce passing periods
between classes to 15 minutes, but stagger class starting times by 20 minutes based on the campus where the class is held.
Under this system, classes start�ing on the CSB campus would
begin 20 minutes later than those on the SJU campus � for example, 8:20 a.m. and 8 a.m. � in order to allow 35 minutes for students to move from SJU to CSB. It would not, however, al�low students taking a class at CSB to enroll in a course offered the
following period at SJU.
The reason for this move is that it would reduce the back-to-back conflict by half, and would be the logical starting point given that the buses are housed at CSB, thus allowing the SJU to start earlier periods said the committee.
�The staggered start is an effort to reduce the number of back-to-back conflicts students have, as well as allowing them to arrive at their classes on time,� Ice said.
Another feature of the
recommended schedule will be a
complete renovation of the Link bus transportation schedule � in
