\u00bbWe are looking for creative, quality-conscious, cooks to satisfy 450 hungry freshmen and tutors.\u00ab This is what is states in a post on the political science Facebook group \u2018Statskundskab p\u00e5 K\u00f8benhavn’, hoping to entice foodie students to apply and join the kitchen for the political science and social science intro trip for new students. The freshers trip or \u2018rustur\u2019 as they are called, are traditional, introduction weeks for new students with everything that it entails, from campus tours to binge drinking.<\/p>\n
It’s really<\/em> fun to slave away in the kitchen for four days straight and create a fantastic culinary experience.<\/p>\n
Ida Holm S\u00f8rensen, contact committee<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The teams of cooks \u2013 three of them consisting of 7-9 people \u2013 are to chop, carve and fry all the meals for 450 hung over and festive freshers and be paid in the form of 10 crates of beer (per team) and, of course, an exclusive invitation to do the freshers’ trip all over again.<\/p>\n
And it’s a
popular<\/secret> job among political science students, and there are high expectations for the applicants\u2019 level of creativity: Apart from being a \u00bbguarantee for a kitchen party\u00ab and having passed \u00bbthe 1st semester mathematics test\u00ab (something that seems to be an insider-thing for political scientists), you need to present a clearcut narrative<\/em> for the \u00bbculinary journey\u00ab that new students, tutors and cooks are to go on together. The applying team of cooks need to be able to set up this narrative in the application and the menu within the current budget.<\/p>\n \u00bbWe hope to be well-entertained and have a good laugh during the reading of the applications,\u00ab says Ida Holm S\u00f8rensen on behalf of the contact committee.
\n
\n\u00bbOur impression is that students apply to be a cook because it’s really fun to slave away in the kitchen for four days straight and create a fantastic culinary experience for a bunch of political science and social science students. And you can make new friends from some of the other year cohorts, as the cooks end up being close socially. This is something you kinda understand when you have to make 800 falafels on three hours of sleep,\u00ab says Ida Holm S\u00f8rensen.<\/p>\nHas an unknown applicant with a fantastic narrative just as much chance of being selected as an old acquaintance?<\/em><\/p>\n
\u00bbOf course! It is the three teams of chefs with the best applications who are chosen,\u00ab the contact committee promises.<\/p>\n
Five-star fresher trip bureau<\/h3>\n
Thorkild has been on one of the cook teams, and knows a bit about what it is about. As a part of a five-star team of cooks consisting of eight \u00bbwell-known cook guides\u00ab, he was selected in 2017 to sweat it out in the kitchen to give the new students a culinary experience that has become the hallmark of the political science freshers’ trips.<\/p>\n
In their application, which was designed as a travel offer, Thorkild Klint and his chef partners wrote \u00bbAs Europe looks inwards, we eat abroad. Over the past six months, we have set sail towards distant shorelines and put together a world menu that includes the USSR,
the MENA countries<\/secret>, Mexico, the Danish town of Roskilde and much, much more\u00ab.
\n
\nThey also wrote:<\/p>\n\u00bbAs responsible world citizens, we have also made sustainability a priority and dropped the beef. Instead, we support the Danish food cluster \u2013 the backbone of Denmark. Can you do this at all? Yes, you can apparently. Innovation? You bet.\u00ab<\/p>\n
The planned (and detailed!) menu reflected the narrative. On Thursday, the kitchen offered a stew from the world’s largest democracy (India), Friday there were British, American and Greek pies, and during the night hours, the menu came to Roskilde and served a menu known from the town\u2019s famous festival.<\/p>\n
Mon Henri Bon Bon<\/h3>\n
From one Dane to another: In 2018, one of the selected teams of cooks was Mon Henri Bon Bon, which included Adam Bregnsbo Fastholm. In their application, they emphasised the community \u2013 something that the intro weeks are supposed to be all about, after all \u2013 and Prince Henrik. The Danish Prince Henrik, consort of the Danish Queen, was never, to his chagrin, made King, but made a name for himself as a connoisseur of fine cooking. It is things like the mourning over the death of the Danish Prince Henrik, which really brings people together, they wrote in their application.<\/p>\n
\u00bbFew institutions, and even fewer individuals, manage to bring people together like that. This particular event however, occurred this year. An event where we come together in sorrow, and share our memories: The far-too-early demise of Prince Henrik,\u00ab they wrote in their application.<\/p>\n
The time has come for us to celebrate everything that this feisty count of Gall, who became king of Denmark, lived for.<\/p>\n
Cooks team 2018 Mon Henri Bon Bon<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\u00bbThe cooks team 2018 Mon Henri Bon Bon reckons that the time has come for us to celebrate everything that this feisty count of Gall, who became king of Denmark, lived for. Exactly like the blessed prince would have liked it.\u00ab<\/p>\n
On Thursday, the ‘Pixar-animated rat\u2019s choice: Ratatouille a la confit byaldi with aubergine, tomato and courgette in two colours. Then the French dessert classic tarte tartin with the season’s caramelised apples. On the last full day of the intro trip, breakfast was served under the heading ‘Another Day in paradise’, which involved
pain perdu<\/em><\/secret> with lashings of honey and syrup.<\/p>\n If you want to join the race to become a cook for the political science and social science freshers, then you should start cooking up a good culinary narrative.

An integral part of introduction for first year students is the so called \u2018rustur\u2019 [pronounced: Rooss-Tour] and its many traditions that have created a stir in recent years because of claims of heavy drinking, sexism and hazing in the different rituals involved. \r\n\r\nBut what is a \u2018rustur\u2019 and why has it taken up so much place in the media around this time in recent years?\r\n\r\n<div class=\"dme-external-teaser dme-external-teaser-3\">\n <div class=\"image\">\n <div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><a href=\"http:\/\/universitetsavisen.dk\/node\/30455\" title=\"\"><img src=\"\/old_files\/camillalaerkefeaturephoto2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/div> <\/div>\n <div class=\"title\">\n <div class=\"label\">L\u00e6s mere:<\/div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/universitetsavisen.dk\/node\/30455\">Comment: First days at uni are always tough<\/a> <\/div>\n <div class=\"teaser_text\">\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\r\n\r\n<h2>Ties students together<\/h2>\r\nAccording to the Danish dictionary ordbogen.dk \u2018Rus\u2019 or \u2018russer\u2019 is the name given to new students. The origin of the term is unclear. It likely derives from the latin \u2018depositurus\u2019, the meaning behind the term hence being to leave behind, or deposit the bad manners of the uneducated masses. \u2018Tur' simply means trip and accordingly \u2018rustur\u2019 is a trip for the new students, commonly to a venue, a guest house maybe, in the countryside somewhere. \r\n\r\nHowever according to student and member of the contact group for the 128 student organising team for the introduction at the political science faculty, Mathias Hamburger Holm, it is so much more than that. \r\n\r\n\u201cI believe that a rustur is very important for the new students because it ties them closer to their fellow students. It\u2019s an event that they all have in common, and can remember and talk about for many years to come,\" he says.\r\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><img src=\"\/old_files\/11912971_10207307793471466_1889093865_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<em>Photo: Courtesy of Mathias Hamburger Holm<\/em>\r\n\r\n<h2>Controversies<\/h2>\r\nStudent organisers generally speak highly of the 'rustur\u2019, but university departments have in recent years, put restrictions on the trips. The physics department even got rid of the concept as an integrated part of introduction weeks in 2012 (it was later re-instated).\r\n\r\nThe spirit of the rustur is all about socialising with new fellow students and getting to know the department and programme.\r\n\r\nBut each year brings new revelations of controversial practices. Last year a \u2018russer\u2019 revealed how he had been encouraged to stuff deli meats into his underwear supposedly to increase his libido and encouraged to publicly announce, which girls he would like to have sex with and what position he would like to do it in. \r\n\r\n<div class=\"dme-external-teaser dme-external-teaser-3\">\n <div class=\"image\">\n <div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><a href=\"http:\/\/universitetsavisen.dk\/node\/25227\" title=\"\"><img src=\"\/old_files\/drunk_student.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/div> <\/div>\n <div class=\"title\">\n <div class=\"label\">L\u00e6s mere:<\/div>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/universitetsavisen.dk\/node\/25227\">Rituals for new students involved profanity, sexism, degradation<\/a> <\/div>\n <div class=\"teaser_text\">\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\r\n\r\n<h2>'No sexual content'<\/h2>\r\nThese rituals have a taint of the the hazing rituals of American fraternities, but Mathias Hamburger Holm assures us that the rituals with pigs and sexual content have been completely taken out of the rustur.\r\n\r\nMathias says that he and the rest of the organising group spend a lot of time and effort ensuring that no students are pushed beyond their limits. \"In fact we have no sexual content at all,\" he says.\r\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><img src=\"\/old_files\/11880517_10207307793591469_528974599_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<em>Photo: Courtesy of Mathias Hamburger Holm<\/em>\r\n\r\n<h2>Getting to know one another without drinks<\/h2>\r\nAccording to Mathias being away from the comfort of your home, offers the new batch of students the chance to bond and creates a sense of unity across the student body.\r\n\r\nThrough a range of games and activities, the students are encouraged to get to know each other in a different way than how they would at home. \r\n\r\nConfronted with the criticism of binge drinking Mathias replies.\r\n\r\n\"It\u2019s very important for us that the rustur is not all about drinking, therefore we have a 5 o\u2019clock rule, which means that no one is allowed to drink alcohol before 5 PM. This way we make sure that the new students get to know each other without a drink in their hand.''\r\n<div class=\"dme-image dme-image-center dme-image-preset-0\"><img src=\"\/old_files\/11880517_10207307793511467_713419831_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/div>\n<em>Photo: Courtesy of Mathias Hamburger Holm<\/em>\r\n\r\n<h2>Rustur in other countries<\/h2>\r\nDifferent countries have different practices in regard to ceremonies, rituals and practices to introduce new students. As far as we know, the Danish 'rustur\u2019 is unique.\r\n\r\nNatasha Natarajan, is a recent graduate of London\u2019s School of Oriental and African Studies. \r\n\r\nThey had nothing of the sort at her university: \"All we had was a fair, where the institution\u2019s societies were represented and a few parties we had to pay for ourselves,\" she says.\r\n\r\nIn America a similar concept exists as part of the initiation process for fraternities. \r\n\r\nRahul Sharma a recent graduate from the College of Idaho recalls how he lived in the fraternity house for a full week along with the other \u2018brothers\u2019 as part of the process.\r\n\r\nThere was no drinking, drugs or sex, just pure bonding. \r\n\r\nBonding might just be what is at the heart of the rusturs. Which is why the physics department in recognition of this has actually reinstated the rustur. \r\n\r\n<h2>Not being yourself<\/h2>\r\nIn a <a href=\"http:\/\/universitypost.dk\/article\/comment-first-days-uni-are-always-tough\" target=\"_blank\">featured comment for the University Post<\/a>, rhetoric student Camlla L\u00e6rke L\u00e6rkesen describes her fears and anxieties before going to the university 'rustur', and intro days.\r\n\r\n\"It seems to me that there is a very specific way of bonding when you start up in a new place. It most likely involves games. It often involves beer. And it always involves a lot of not being yourself,\" she said, before going on to recommend going anyway,\" she writes.\r\n\r\nFor another student, Karen Fowler Lund, soon to be enrolled in the law programme at UCPH, going on the rustur isn\u2019t yet certain. \r\n\r\n<h2>Social investment<\/h2>\r\n\"I don't necessarily enjoy binge drinking and variations of drinking games,\u201d she says. \r\n\r\nBut she is still leaning towards going. She views the bonding that takes place on these trips valuable and a good social investment, which will benefit her in the group work that inevitably will be a part of her course.\r\n\r\nSo stained reputation or not, the rustur will prevail. \r\n\r\nuniversitypost@adm.ku.dk\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have a good story?
