The Voice of the Regiment The Voice of the Regiment November -December 2012 United States Merchant Marine Academy Since 1943 Midshipmen gather for a safety briefing before joining the relief effort in the Rockaways on Monday, November 12.

The long-awaited and well-deserved Winter Break is finally here! Of course, this also means that the end of the world, I mean, year, has arrived. For my fellow 1st classmen, the light at the end of the tunnel aka graduation has just gotten a lot brighter. The year of 2013 is our year and I, for one, am determined to make the most of it. Recently, the Change of Command ceremony took place and with a little hul- labaloo over M/N Daniel Galginaitis as the new Regimental Commander, the 2nd rota- tion of officers has taken command of the Regiment. Bolstered by the addition of all sorts of newfangled positions, this new crop of officers are ready to lead us into the New Year. I wish you guys all the luck. In addition, I hope to address the concern of some midshipmen that this newspa- per has failed to live up to its motto: Voice of the Regiment. If we have been unpardon- ably positive, then I admit part of the fault is mine. Despite more than three years here and against all odds, I have somehow remained a relatively optimistic individual, and for that, I apologize. I do not deny that life at KP isn’t a walk in the park; we learn that fact the first time we step foot inside Vickery Gate. However, for some strange reason, it appears that those who have written for the newspaper so far seem to see more rain- bows and sunshine than most. If you disagree with our allegedly misplaced cheerful- ness, I challenge you to put forth your own thoughts in the next issue. It is ultimately your paper, in the end. To that end, I will endeavor to survive the coming apocalypse and carry on with the January 2013 issue, so please send in your articles. If you somehow find yourself as a zombie, I urge you to be a literate one and to remain a steadfast patron of this newspaper. Enjoy our November-December issue and with a bit of luck, we’ll see you after the break! We can be reached at [email protected] or through our FB page: www.facebook.com/kphearthis.

These events center around the figure of the Krampus, a beast-like, punishing “devil” that accompanies St. Nicholas on December 5, the eve of his feast day. By 2010, groups of people in US cities were staging their own Krampusnacht processions in downtown areas, referencing the European enactments while simultaneously innovating their embodiments to meaningfully interact with the Christmas season in the United States. Participation in these events increases annually and the Krampus figure’s presence online and in popular media is on the rise.

Jean As I write this, the ISM office is busy preparing for an exciting new academic year. In addition to welcoming our new students who will be profiled in the September issue of Prism, I am pleased to present some new faces on the faculty and welcome back some familiar ones. In the spring, we will be joined by Ivica Novakovic as visiting lecturer in religion and culture. Professor Novakovic is actively involved in helping us plan the 2008 ISM study tour to Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, and Croatia. He has studied physics, sociology, philosophy, and theology in Croatia, Switzerland, and the USA. His work is informed by these cultural contexts and he addresses transcultural and interdisciplinary questions, particularly those of theological rationality (Theology: Speculative or Combinatorial? 2004) and religious imagination (“Work on Symbols”). He has lectured in the areas of philosophical theology, systematic theology, contemporary theology, and the theology of culture (“Doing Theology in the Media Age”). More recently, he has focused his research on the problem of conceiving God’s presence and the modes of its representation and communication in music, images, and words. He is particularly interested in exploring how the sense of God’s presence can be presented in the contemporary world, where many religions and cultures meet in the context of conflict, and how it can provide a resource for reconciliation and broadening the vision of human flourishing.

This brings us hope of spring arriving – eventually. It is easy to become socially isolated in these weeks of deep freeze, when we are told to “stay inside,” “keep off the roads,” and when rehearsals, concerts, and even religious services are canceled! Yes – of course we can connect on social media, and on the telephone, but there is something special and unique about real, in-your-face physical interactions with friends, family, and colleagues.

I hope you had a blessed holiday season full of musical celebrations! There is so much planning that goes into Christmas for me that I come out from the season feeling a little confused. I have definite concerts and other events on my 2016 calendar and let’s face it, Ash Wednesday is already on February 10th! However, I always get these vague feelings like “I need to make sure this is ready – oh wait, we already had that concert or service.” Sometimes the concluding thought is “That was three weeks ago!” These rapid-fire events all become a blur after a while. In some ways, we are in a new time of planning for the AGO as well.
