Paul Allen Brunkhorst was born on September 2, 1993 among the dusty, dank books at the Minneapolis Public Library, where his love for literature began.

He was buried wearing his most prized possession: his monogrammed lifting gloves. Paul never denied his love for his gloves, or his obsession with exercise. As he told many: “I lift.”

During his tenure as Editor-in-Chief, he often suppressed a blinding rage at an ineffective staff and professed a deep-seated hatred of musicals. He also wrote some stuff, but nothing worth mentioning.

The editorial board revered Paul’s bravery in his investigative pieces on the Student Government Association’s weekly meetings. He often caught naps during new business.
