‘PENTECOST’ PITS PLAYERS AGAINST THE UNKNOWN
Despite amped-up security and lower ticket sales, officials deemed the 96th annual Forest-ers’ Ball a success. Students, on the other hand, gave mixed re-views.
Because of the many changes that accompanied the ball, public-ity officer Dylan Brooks considers 2013 a “break-in” year and is con-fident more people will attend in the future now that they know what to expect from security.
“We wanted a balanced ap-proach where we’re making sure
After the sequestration’s wall of budget cuts became a reali-ty for the federal government March 1, the Army, Air Force, Cost Guard and Marine Corps stated the military’s tuition assis-tance program would come to a halt. The action set off a roar of frustration by many who viewed the tuition assistance, or TA, as a promise, and Congress quickly voted to protect the program — for now.
The amended bill will allow military services, except for the Coast Guard, to allow TA fund-ing until the end of this fiscal year (October 1). After that, TA will be in danger again if Congress doesn’t have a sound budget in place to prevent the continuation of sequestration.
Andrea Helling, communica-tions director for Sen. Jon Tester, said the amendment to restore most of the TA funding was unanimously agreed upon earlier

everyone who’s in there is having a great time, but also a safe time,” Brooks said. “We eliminated that fringe group of people who were so drunk they shouldn’t have been there.”
University Chief of Police Gary Taylor said of the 390 or so students who attended the ball Friday, none were turned away or arrested for intoxication. Sat-urday night, close to 1,000 stu-dents attended. Twelve of those students were turned away for intoxication, three were issued MIPs and one was arrested for

Six seats up for grabs on ASUM senate
According to ASUM bylaws, the Montana Kaimin cannot release the names of candidates for senate, busi-ness manager, and president/vice president positions until campaign-ing officially starts April 15.
University of Montana stu-dents will vote for six more sen-ate positions than last year in the Associated Students of the Uni-versity of Montana primary elec-tion April 24.
“Twenty-six people means we have six more people out there gathering opinion and fighting for student groups,” said Bryn Hagfors, ASUM vice president.
As the student government,

ASUM supports UM’s student groups and provides services to students through it’s sponsored agencies. UM students voted last election to add six more senate positions. With the extra posi-tions, the 34 candidates who have filed will have a better chance to be elected.
“I see it as expanding the op-portunity to represent students,” Hagfors said.
President Zach Brown said senators elected to office have unique access to a lot of different aspects of campus, including reg-ular meetings with UM admin-istration and Montana’s Board of Regents.
“(ASUM) is a hub for services that affect students every day,”
Brown said. “Students who want to grow as leaders and impact the everyday lives of their peers should run to be a part of ASUM.”
Many of the senate candidates this year are running because of contentious issues, he said.
“Higher One is on a lot of peo-ple’s minds,” Hagfors said. “A lot of people are looking to see that Foresters’ Ball succeeds and make it a positive experience. There’s also those people who just think they can have a unique voice in the ASUM body.”
ASUM opens a lot of doors for students who want to be in-volved, said senator Stevie Fre-und. The junior double major in management information

trespassing after being denied entry for intoxication and trying to reen-ter the ball numerous times.
Despite these drunken encoun-ters, Taylor thinks the event went really well and is confident people will “get back in the swing of it” in the future.
“The foresters did a great job this year. If it continues the way it went this last time, I think we’ll see it for another 100 years,” Taylor said. “It’s just a change of attitude which is al-ways tough.”
But not everyone was as happy with the event as Taylor. Sophomore Kaci Felstet had a great time at the ball last year and spent all of March looking forward to this year’s ball and convincing her friends it was well worth the $20 ticket.
“We got there, and it was super lame,” Felstet said. “I hate to say that it was because people didn’t want to get caught for drinking, but I hon-estly think that was one of the main reasons it wasn’t as entertaining and exciting.”
Felstet said she’s “up in the air” about attending the ball in the fu-ture.
“Art matters. It’s a nexus that grabs and epitomizes the most significant ideas in a society, and that’s why they’re so intense-ly important to them.” Chacón said.

Sophomore Nicole Thelen agrees last year’s event was much better.
“It just wasn’t as completely awe-some as it used to be,” Thelen said. “Last year had a way more jovial atmosphere. This year was kind of subdued and boring at parts.”
Not all students share Thelen and Felstet’s viewpoints. Although sophomore Evan Combs wasn’t to-tally happy with all of the changes made to this year’s ball, like the in-creased security and earlier hours, he still enjoyed the event.
“I thought it was a good time to get out with friends, dress up a lit-tle country and go dance,” Combs said. “I’m going to go for as long as I’m going to school up here. I love Foresters’.”
Although the Foresters’ Ball committee has not yet sat down to make plans for the future, publicity officer Dylan Brooks is confident the long lasting tradition will con-tinue.
“We’re overall happy with how everything went,” Brooks said. “I think more people will go in the future.”
perhaps because of it) most of the cast of “Pentecost” perform with confidence and passion. Hints of Stockholm Syndrome serve to muddle some of the charac-ters motivations, but never to the detriment of the narrative. Most native English speakers will find the accents and languages be-lievable, and, if they’re willing to challenge themselves, the issues
rewarding. Periods of serious subject
matter are broken up by brief pe-riods of comedic relief (as well as some snicker-inducing nudity) and allow the dramatic tension some room to breath. Just don’t go in expecting easy answers, because “Pentecost” offers none.
