As you now Augsburg along with Augsburg Dining have been composting since September 22. Well the weight is in. On average, Augsburg college composts around 3/4ths of a ton a week.

We enter a surreal world, as lush and limpid as a dream, where both author and audience swim in the magical and thrilling flow of the unconscious. --The New Yorker
