VOLUME XLV ISSUE 8

By Father Ralph Wright OSB

Inspired by Flunks dream about his encounter with Curiosity on Mars and the conversation that ensued, Flunk and Gloria got to work on their next Conference. Given the turbulent state of the Middle East, they knew that this had to be their top priority. Flunk persuaded Pope Francis to host a r o u n d - t a b l e P e a c e Conference in Assisi and President Rouhani of Iran a c c e p t e d t h e P o p e s invitation to co-chair the meeting. Our episode opens with those who had accepted Flunk and Glorias invitation settling themselves around a round table in the crypt at Assisi where St. Francis is buried.

F l u n k s e r v e d t h e participants with a glass of mead, and after a formal welcome from Pope Francis and President Rouhani, Deaconness Gloria Dorne took the mic:

As has been our normal procedure in the previous Peace Conferences, we invite all of our participants to fill out a quiz, this time a Mead Quizz, as a kind of ice-breaker. When you have completed the quiz, pass your answers along to Flunk, and from the order in which they are received, he will es tab l i sh the order of speaking. Each person should sum up, in one paragraph, what he believes to be his most important message for establishing

peace. When the last person has spoken, well have half

an hour for meditation and prayer, followed by discussion and plans

for the next step on our journey.

Flunk passed out the Mead Quiz to the assembled Heads of State, Presidents, and Prime Ministers, namely President Rouhani of Iran;

President Assad of Syria; President Al-Abadi of Iraq; the Caliph of ISIS; President Obama of the U.S.; Prime-Minister Netanyahu of Israel; and President Abbas of Palestine.

Pres ident Abbas of Palestine: We want to exist too! And to have homes and work and peace! Thank you flunk and Gloria for this meeting. A first good step.

Flunk: Let Pope Francis have a last word.

Pope Francis: Jesus wants us to love each person. If we love we can forgive. If we can forgive and respect each person then we can work together and Allah and Jesus will be pleased.

will pray for this and we will all pray for greater love and respect. Thank you, Flunk and Gloria for this first step on the long road to complete peace!

At this point Flunk and Gloria went round and poured out further glasses of m e a d f o r a l l t h o s e participants who could take it. They all toasted peace and then with everybody talking about the next Conference they began to pack up and head home.

2 FLUNKThe Assisi Conference of Fall 2014

It was a dark and stormy night.

By George Ahlering 16Staff Writer

As it turns out, every week when I write these articles, Im hungry. Even if I write this immediately after a hearty dinner, Im still hungry. So, these food topics may become a reoccurring theme in the coming issues of The Record.

It has recently been brought to my attention that there is a scandal regarding the Priory Lunch Menu. If you notice, printed on every Mondays menu under the Make Your Own Pizza section, it reads Buffalo

C h i c k e n a s t h e m a i n topping. However, every week thus far, the absence of Buffalo Chicken has been duly noted. The P r i o r y L u n c h Committee has been notified via formal complaint, a n d a f t e r f i l i n g occurs, will m e e t t o discuss how to resolve this issue. Since it is an ongoing investigation, we will not jump to any conclusions. There is a possibility that

this is a classic bait and s w i t c h o r f a l s e advertisement maneuver, which could hypothetically

cause not only a huge uproar, but

a strike on the lunchroom. Th i s w i l l t e s t t h e p u b l i c s trust of the

lunch menu and possibly

the lunch as a whole. More to

come on this tragic m i s t a k e a n d o n g o i n g investigation.

The storm had caused the bridge to be flooded over.

Book Review: WatchersBy Andrew Swyers 15Staff Writer

With Halloween coming up, I decided to review an appropriately creepy book. Im not a big horror fan, so this novel is more creepy suspense than outr ight horror. Watchers, by Dean Koontz, is a novel about two g e n e t i c a l l y m o d i f i e d animals and t h e w a y s they affect the lives of t h e m a i n c h a r a c t e r s . This is not a scientific book like one of Michael Crichtons w o r k s ; t h e g e n e t i c

m o d i f i c a t i o n i s n o t incredibly in-depth and the p s y c h o l o g y o f t h e experimentation is much more of a focal point. The s t o r y f e a t u r e s t w o i n c r e d i b l y i n t e l l i g e n t animals, a normal-looking golden retriever and a

m o n s t r o u s w e a p o n almost too hideous

to look at. This monster has an i n c r e d i b l e h a t r e d o f h u m a n s a n d especially the g o l d e n

retriever.

The novel opens up with Travis Cornell, the

protagonist, hiking and f i n d i n g t h e h y p e r -

i n t e l l i g e n t G o l d e n Retr iever. The Golden Retriever begins to bring light back to Travis life and helps him find others to love. But then, Travis realizes that the monster is chasing his dog, and he is being hunted by an assassin w h o b e l i e v e s t h a t h e absorbs the souls of people that he kills. If he absorbs enough souls , he wi l l become immortal . The pacing is good throughout the novel, and it features a small cast of characters, so they are easy to sympathize w i t h , o r t r u l y f e a r . Watchers is around 350 pages and unfortunately can not be found in our library.

Happy Halloween, nerds! In honor of Halloween, Ive decided to report about the spookiest topic I can think of: stomach tissue! We have made some pretty scary strides over the past few years in the field of artificial organs. A few years ago we took human stomach tissue and sewed it into a tiny organ. We put that frankenstein-esque hunk of meat into a rat, and the rat was able to take in nutrients normally. The stomach even grew with the rat for a while. But if you thought that was scary, youll find this terrifying: We have been studying with adult stem cells since the 60s, but the only real progress weve made is we now know they dont cause a s m u c h c a n c e r a s embryonic stem cells. This past week, however we were actually able to take adult stem cells and direct them enough generate real, functioning human gastric organoids (hGOs, which is smart-speak for stomach tissue) for the first time ever. And not just a few cel ls, the test actual ly resulted in enough stomach to put in a human fetus. This test worked as a sort of proof-of-concept for cancer treatments in the future which might include completely replacing the organs with fresh ones. Now thats scaryI

4 MISCELLANEOUSStay Away From Ouija Boards

Suddenly we heard voice:

By Father Augustine Wetta OSBApologetics Expert

For some reason, a number of students have approached me recently concerning the use of Ouija boards. Im not sure why this is suddenly the topic du jour, but if folks are asking, then folks must be talking. Now, I realize that by addressing the issue in print, I run the risk of stirring up even more interest, but on the other hand, I dont want you slipping into something ugly and harmful simply because you didnt know better. So here it goes: A Ouija board is a kind of game board that has the alphabet and other signs on it that some people believe can be used to communicate with the spirits of dead people.

Ouija boards, like Tarot cards and horoscopes, are ext remely dangerousespecially if you take them seriously. STAY AWAY FROM THEM. 99% of the time, theyre just nonsense. But, even if you dont touch base with some being from b e y o n d y o u h a v e , nonetheless, opened a door to your soul and welcomed in an unfamiliar spiritual being. Believe me when I s a y y o u d o n o t w a n t

s o m e t h i n g l i k e t h a t latching onto your soul.

Sure, I recognize that I m a y s o u n d a l i t t l e medieval to you at this moment. Maybe you dont even believe in this stuff. But a whole lot of people do. And a whole lot of people have been

really messed up by it. At the very least, it turns you away from God and exposes you to evil. Have you already experimented with one of these toys? Then you may already know what Im talking about. In fact, you probably already have this creeping sense of vulnerability and gloom. F i r s t , g e t y o u r s e l f t o confession; then destroy the board.

I dont want to go on and on about this. Just

talking about it makes me feel icky. So, Ill close with what the Catechism has to say: All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse t o S a t a n o r d e m o n s , conjuring up the dead or o ther pract ices fa lse ly supposed to 'unveil' the f u t u r e . C o n s u l t i n g horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of o m e n s a n d l o t s , t h e phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. They contradict the honor, respect and loving fear that we owe to God alone" (CCC 2116).

Movie Review: The Maze RunnerBy Rohith Perla 15Staff Writer

*OBLIGATORY SPOILER ALERT*Alright, Ive taken a good long break, but Im back and ready to review movies. My first one, and this may be old news, is The Maze Runner. It starts in the Glade, which is a safe zone inside a giant maze. Every month, supplies are sent, along with a new man to help out in the Glade. One day, a new boy named Thomas is sent into the Glade, where he quickly learns how to live in it, and he also disrupts the previous

balance of the Glade. After an attempt at his life by another boy named Ben, and after he kills a Griever after a night out in the maze, they realize that the maze was a test. They have to find a way out before they die. Th is i s an in te res t ing premise, but there are too many clichs taken from other dystopian stories, such as Divergent, the Hunger Games, and ,by extension, Battle Royale. This kills any genius that this book/movie brings, because it all has already been done to death. It is the same story told a d i ffe ren t way in each

d y s t o p i a n s t o r y. T h e p r o t a g o n i s t t a k e s a significant role in the dystopian society a n d q u i c k l y b e c o m e s v a l u a b l e . After some f u n a n d games , t he balance of the s o c i e t y i s t i p p e d , a n d rebellion erupts, with the protagonist at the head of it. It is then left with a bad psychological aftershock. For Tris in Divergent, it was seeing her parents die. For Katniss, it

was all the death she saw. What is to say that this

movie would turn out any different? This

rehashing of old concepts needs to stop, and a l t h o u g h I can praise the i n g e n u i t y wi th which

the producer of t h e s t o r y

rehashes the plot, t h e s t o r y s h o u l d

combine elements from other plots, not just tape them together. But thats just my two cents on the matter. Until next time!

The RecordBy Stew McGhee 26Staff Writer

Hey Stew, Im 16 and years old. Am I too old to go trick-or-treating?

Society tells us that after the age of 13 or so, it is no longer acceptable to go trick-or-treating, but I am taking a stand for all the big k i d s a r o u n d t h e world. You are never too old to go trick-or-treating. Why cant a h i g h schooler, or even a full grown man, dress up as their favorite super hero and walk around with a pillow case exchanging jokes for candy? Frankly, I think it is t h e w o r s t o p p r e s s i o n happening in the world today. I will give you a tip to get a round these so-ca l led laws that are keeping people from expressing themselves. For a mere ten dollars, I guarantee you that any seventh grader or middle schooler would be more than willing to let you pretend to be his father as you both have a blast trick-or-treating.

Im going to my first Halloween party, but Im not sure if I should wear a costume or not. What are your thoughts?

This is a very tricky one, but luckily there are a

multitude of ways you could play this one. In this first hypothetical scenario, lets say that you are the only one, or perhaps one of only a few people wearing a costume at the party. If this happens, you must keep your wits about you. Dont make any rash decisions. Once you have walked in, there is no turning back -- you have committed

to the costume and you must own it. Act

like you knew no one else was

going to wear a costume, but decided t h a t y o u would be the funny guy, or

d a r e I s a y rebel, and wear

a costume. This level of confidence

will not only make your night easier, but most likely a lot more fun. The next scenario involves coming up with a costume that, for the most part, you could pull off as regular clothes. For instance, go as Marty McFly from Back to the Future. If everyone is in costume, you w i l l h a v e a g r e a t conversation starter, and get to explain who you are supposed to be to all the ladies. If no one is in costume, you can tell people how you found a bunch of really cool retro clothes at Good Will. Most people will just think, Hey, look at that kid - that kid has a crazy s ty le! BAM! You are i m m e d i a t e l y m o r e interesting.

Stew, what is your favorite type of candy?

Im glad you asked. My favorite candy is without a doubt the Milky Way. They are the perfect combination of rich chocolate, creamy caramel and smooth nougat. Debuting in 1923, the Milky Way was the first filled candy bar, thus making all other filled candy bars cheap and unoriginal copies of the Milky Way. These candy bars include the likes of Twix, Snickers and 3 Musketeers. They all tried to ride the tidal wave of success that the Milky Way had, but in actuality, made second-class products when compared to the original. Not that you asked, but for the record, my least favorite kind of candy is black licorice (this one requires no explanation, Im sure). Black licorice is an all around terrible candy, and anyone who likes it either enjoys bad tasting things, or is so old they have lost the ability to taste. I mean, it isnt even sweet! If it wasnt for its much better looking and tasting twin, red licorice, it probably wouldnt even be considered candy at all.

W h a t e v e r y o u d o t h i s Halloween, keep it spooky safe, and dont do anything that I wouldnt do!

To my great dismay, this will be the final Rebels soccer article of 2014. Thank you to all of the fans that came out on Tuesday and provided unwaver ing support for us through that unlucky and frustrating game. On Tuesday, we unfortunately lost to Westminster in the Class 3, District 2 Semi-Final. This season has been great, finishing with a record of 13-6-2 which couldnt have been done without the amazing team that was also battered with injuries throughout the season. Under the leadership of seniors Ryan Mulqueeny, Brendan Kolthoff, Dan Kelly, and Blake Anselm, we truly developed both as a team and individually to be the best we could be. Unfortunately, the season ended sooner than expected, but the boys left everything out on the field and can call it a successful season.A clear highlight of our season was beating DeSmet in overtime

3-2. Coming in as the underdog with DeSmet underestimating our abilities, we showed them t h a t w e c a m e t o p l a y . Individually, we were all s u c c e s s f u l a n d e v e r y o n e contributed to the team in different ways. Ryan Mulqueeny was the goal leader of our team with 12 goals. Just this week, Ryan was featured in Town & Style Magazine with a highlight interview in the sports section. Johnny Klaesner provided the goon element on the team and was always there to serve as Ryans counterpart, whether by roughing up the other team or slotting a ball into Ryan for a scoring opportunity. Dan Kelly and Blake Anselm both provided stability and consistent high-level play combined with calmness in the midfield and backfield. They were a strong foundation and a necessity for this team. Juniors Chris Holland and Will Dohr stepped up strongly on the offensive aspect of the team this season. Will had five goals, and Chris, plagued

with a groin injury, netted four. Brenden Kolthoff, George OSullivan, Michael Donovan, Will Hanley and Adam Ezzelgot provided a strong backfield, with the lowest goals allowed ratio in the league. Hats off to George OSullivan, who yet again double-lettered as a Varsity Athlete on both soccer and cross country. Drew Sewall deserves loads of credit for an amazing season at arguably one of the hardest positions on the field. Drew always brought his A Game and made some truly amazing saves this season.

Thanks to Coach Mohrmann and Coach Oberle, and assistant coaches Jimmy Holmes and Michael Ware. Priory soccer on both the JV and Varsity teams had great seasons and couldnt have done it without incredible coaching.

Thank you also to all the fans who came out to the games, especially the memorable fan section for the beach themed game a couple weeks ago.

Cardinals outfielder Oscar Taveras passed away this past weekend in a car crash. He was touted as a top prospect in the Cardinals system, and in all of Major League Baseball. Taveras lead off his Major League career with a home run, and hit a clutch home run in the NLCS against the Giants. Taveras funeral was this past Tuesday, and there were several Cardinals in attendance. Carlos Martinez, Matt Carpenter, Mike Matheny, and General Manager, John

M o z e l i a k , w e r e a l l i n attendance. Taveras was only 22 years old when he died. His girlfriend, Edilia Arvelo, was also killed in the accident. The cause of the crash is still under i n v e s t i g a t i o n . T h e o n l y information that has been dispensed by the authorities thus far states that it was raining when Taveras lost control of his 2014 Camaro, causing it to fly off the road and strike a tree. These events always come as a s h o c k t o t h e b a s e b a l l community, and baseball fans do their best to move on from these horrific incidents. Back in 2009, Nick Adenhart of the Angels

passed away after being hit by a drunk driver. Adenhart was also 22 when he passed away. Cardinals pitcher Darryl Kile passed away in his sleep mid-season in 2002. These events are a reminder of how ephemeral l ife can be. These tragic episodes shed light on daily life, and how insignificant our small quarrels are in the greater scheme of things.

The Cardinals kept the lights on over Right Field at Busch Stadium this past week to honor Taveras, who played all of his Major League games at the position.

8 PERIODICALSHalloween Songs: The Classics

As it turns out, the figure was Fr. Paul. We were stuck in the monastery.

By Robert E. Donnelly III 15Editor in Chief

While Christmas songs seem to steal the spotlight in the world of holiday music, we m u s t n o t f o r g e t t h e masterpieces that have been written for the scariest night o f t h e y e a r , Ha l loween . S u r e , Halloween songs are g o o f y , s i m p l e , and quite f rankly, a little juvenile, b u t t h e r e s n o better way to get down this year than with these five essential Halloween hits.

5. This Is Halloween - Danny Elfman

This stellar song from Tim Burtons Nightmare Before Christmas is a must for any Halloween party. Given the title of the movie, you may only remember this song come Christmas time when Burtons morbid take on everyones favorite holiday is primarily being aired o n t e l e v i s i o n . However, Im here to remind you that this song works quite well for both holidays. Famously covered by artists Panic! at the Disco and Marilyn

M a n s o n , T h i s I s Halloween is sure to get everyone excited about all things Halloween, from good scares and costumes, to a quality batch of candy corn.

4. Ghostbusters - Ray Parker, Jr.

Did you really think we would write an article

a b o u t H a l l o w e e n music and forget this one? Far and away one of the catchiest songs of all time,

Ghostbusters puts everyone

in a good mood and stays trapped inside your head for days. Not only is this a great song with one heck of a groovy beat, but it a c c o m p a n i e s t h e movie of the same name. Ghostbusters was one of the greatest movies from the 1980s, and this Academy Award nominated song ties it

all together. I aint fraid of

no ghosts!

3.Witch Doctor - David
