JOHNNIE PRIDE

By Tom Dierberger

tpdierberger@csbsju.edu

For the second consecutive year, thousands of passionate Johnnie fans traveled to St. Paul to watch the historic St. John’s vs. St. Thomas football game.

And for the second consecutive year, the Johnnies left with a victory and the coveted Holy Grail trophy.

The matchup marked the 83rd time that the two rivals have faced each other. With such a storied rivalry, the JohnnieTommie game has been known to excite fans with crucial plays and stunning upsets. Most notably, last year’s last-minute field goal attempt from UST that notoriously sailed “Wide Left”

was the deciding factor in the win for SJU. The Johnnies did not need a missed field goal to win this year, however.

T he crowd of 12,483 at O’Shaughnessy Stadium saw the Johnnies (3-1, 1-1) defeat the Tommies (2-1, 0-1) by a score of 24-14.

St. John’s never trailed in the game, getting out to a quick 7-0 lead on its first drive, thanks to a 23-yard touchdown catch by junior wide receiver Josh Bungum.

Junior running back Sam Sura led the Johnnies offense with 36 carries for 214 yards that included a 44-yard rush for a touch-

Bell passes on life lessons

During Bob Bell’s first year as a student at St. John’s, he was often in and out of trouble. It was only November, and he had already narrowly avoided prosecution for possession of a fake ID. “I got back from court in St. Cloud, and everyone thought I was the luckiest guy in the world,” said Bell, who is now an assistant professor of accounting and finance.

That was also the day h e s u ff e r e d t h e l i f e - a l t e r ing spinal injury that would confine him to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. The injury caused Bell to grow up quickly.

“My mom often says that I became the man at 19 or 20 that she hoped I would be at 40 or 50,” Bell said.

Now Bell hopes to guide others through tough times via his new book, “Un Moving Four Ward,” which was published in May by North Star Press of St. Cloud.

“In some ways I was writing it because I needed this book when I was 19 years old and first injured, and I didn’t have anything like this,” Bell said. “I don’t know where it came from, but I’m as proud of it today as I was the minute I said it.”

Sexual assault legislation to change campus policy of questions,” Geller said. “That program keeps track of who’s taken it, so that we can demonstrate to the government that we’re doing our due diligence. We’re doing everything we can to help our community be aware of these policies.”

The administration hopes the new software will be available by mid semester.

Although policy is important, it is only one factor in the movement to eliminate sexual assault.

“It’s about creating an environment of trust and safety to talk about it and one that does not condone sexual activity without consent,” Klapperich said.

Thomas Bearson, a Sartell native attending North Dakota State University, went missing at 3:40 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20.

Bearson was last seen outside a residence home in Fargo wearing a blue baseball hat, blue Sartell High School track and field shirt and khaki shorts.

After four days of investigation, his body was found on Tuesday, Sept. 23 outside a recreational vehicle store in Moorhead, Minnesota. The Ramsey County medical examiner’s office claims that based on the evidence, he died from “homicidal violence.” Moorhead police are still investigating.

In this case many students and faculty knew Bearson and were affected by his death.

“It has been really hard on the entire Sartell community,” Jessica Alkire, a senior who knew Bear-

New legislation forces campuses around the country to make policy changes

By Tierney Chlan and Claire DesHotels tmchlan@csbsju.edu • cmdeshotels@csbsju.edu

Last Friday the Obama Administration launched its “It’s on Us” campaign to further the conversation about sexual assault growing on college campuses nationwide.

The campaign advocates that everyone take an active role to stop assault. It encourages all men and women to take a stand and end the passive bystander mentality.

“It’s happening nationally,” Assistant Director of Health Promotion Lori Klapperich said.

“Let’s use this opportunity to have a conversation.”

The increase in reported assaults across the nation echoes the increased reports at CSB/SJU. Five cases were reported in 2013,

the highest in the past three years.

As a result, CSB/SJU is constantly revising its sexual misconduct policy to coincide with Title IX guidelines and new federal laws that prohibit discrimination in educational institutions that receive federal aid.

“I feel really confident with where we are at St. Ben’s and St. John’s with our policies and our procedures and our educational plan,” Vice President of Student Affairs Mary Geller said. “I think we’ve done a lot.”

CSB/SJU’s policy is undergoing several adjustments.

A new requirement for colleges and universities is that they must demonstrate student understanding of the sexual misconduct policy. CSB/SJU is implementing this in a number of ways, including sending the sexual misconduct,

human rights and alcohol policy to families for the first time this year.

The sexual misconduct policy is given to students each year.

Returning students receive the policy in email form. In the past, incoming students were required to watch a video series on sexual misconduct. However, the administration has acknowledged that many students do not engage with these methods, so this year’s incoming class was not required to watch the videos.

Instead, CSB/SJU invested $12,000 in new software that will engage students and ensure comprehension of the policy. This software serves a dual purpose: inform the student community and keep track of the number of students it reaches.

Magic Ministries embraces social media

PHOTO SUBMITTED BY MAGIS MINISTRIES

By Sarah Ober

When Pope Benedict XVI made history in December 2012 by sending out the first papal tweet, it was evident that social media was transforming from a platform for friends to connect or businesses to market. It was entering the religious world, minimizing the physical distance between believers.

Magis Ministries at CSB/SJU is now utilizing social media to share their message and urging students to share special moments in their own faith lives.

Magis Ministries is a studentrun club whose mission is to “uphold and use biblical teachings to create a longing for Jesus Christ” on the CSB/SJU campuses. What began as a few students meeting in a dorm room to praise and grow closer to God several years ago has grown into a multidimensional organization with a strong presence on campus.

Every year, Magis Ministries chooses a theme for the academic year. The group goes through a discernment process over the summer and at the beginning of the year to choose a theme on which to base their.

Co-president of Magis and SJU senior Brad Chatfield describes the process of choosing that theme as reflective and prayerful.

“A few ideas are presented by team members, and then we reflect on it and collectively look at what themes we could get the most out of and also themes that are really applicable and important in a college student’s life,” Chatfield said.

Magis chooses a theme each year to provide the group and their work a common vision and purpose. Jonathan Sutton, SJU sophomore and leader of “Booyah,” a first-year bible study group, believes that having a theme is important for busy students trying to grow in their spiritual life.

“I think it’s important to have a theme because it gives us something to fall back on,” Sutton said. “The sad reality is that we have a lot going on, and we are busy. We’re not going to remember every message at Praise or bible study, but if you remember the theme, God will bring those messages to you.”

“I think it kind of gives us, as a core team, a general purpose and focus…,” Chatfield said. “In a way, it gives cohesiveness to the whole year. Also, it makes each year unique…It’s good that each year is its own distinct experience.”

O n We d n e s d a y, S e p t . 4 , Magis introduced the theme for the 2014-15 academic year as “For His Glory,” derived from 1 Peter. Chatfield’s fellow Co-president, CSB senior Katrina Siebels describes this theme as it applys to Magis and her personal life. “ Ma k i n g s u r e ( Ma g i s ) i s not focused on us as individuals is something we are always trying to be aware of,” Siebels said.

“We want to be small and in the work that we do and in any credit that we do receive, all of the glory belongs to the Lord… It is a constant reminder in my life to recognize where the Lord is working and being able to give Him the glory for all that is happening in my life—the high and low

►SJS Update Senate backs ROTC’s army ten-miler

By Michael Swearingen mpswearingen@csbsju.edu

In t h e c e n t e r o f d i s c u s sion at Monday’s St. John’s Senate meeting were additional monetary allocations and a symbolic gesture to the Men’s Development Institute.

The activities and allocations board reported that they allocated funding to the Pre-Law Club for a debate tournament, German Club for Oktoberfest, Swing Catz for dance lessons and the Buddhist Meditation Club for instructor fees. During the meeting, the senate unanimously passed a motion to allocate $1,431.40 to ROTC for the Army Ten-Miler.

“This is great opportunity to show that we support them,” senator Ben Sandkamp said.

“They show they are willing to cover the cost. I am supportive of funding them in full.”

This support has other benefits according to senior Colin Charpentier, such as offering attention to St. Johns’ program, which has a

positive effect on SJU recruiting, “Our team does exceptionally well,” Charpentier said. “Which also helps promote St. John’s and puts us on the map.”

In addition to allocations, the senate made a symbolic gesture to the Men’s Development Institute.

After tabling a motion to allocate $1,760 to MDI, the senate unanimously voted to institute a line item allocation to the MDI annually beginning in the fall of 2015 with the condition that a dollar amount be allocated.

Ending the mee ting, the senate unanimously passed a motion to endorse an intercultural event requirement for students in first-year seminar courses.

The St. John’s Senate will hold their next meeting at 9:20 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 6 in Sexton 200.

moments.”

This year, Magis Ministries is taking that theme one step, or one character, further by adding a hashtag. Magis has been inviting the CSB/SJU community to include #forHisglory in their social media activity when they experience God working in their life.

“I think we can get really selfabsorbed in our social media use,” Siebels said. “It is one way to turn inward, take a moment to reflect, and see the work that the Lord is doing.”

Siebels and Chatfield, along with the rest of the Magis leadership team, work to provide s tudents with a varie ty of resources and opportunities to grow in their faith lives. Siebels and C hatife-

ld work with the rest of the Magis leadership team to organize many events, including Praise in the Pub, Bible studies and retreats for students.

“Magis is focused on providing people with opportunities to seek out a further relationship with Christ,” Chatfield said. “Whether they are very involved in their faith life or whether they’re just experiencing that for the first time.”

Magis provides several weekly events with which students can get involved, including the everpopular Praise in the Pub at 8:50 p.m. on Wednesdays in Bro. Willie’s Pub at SJU. For more information regarding their events or questions on how to get involved, contact Magis at magis@csbsju. edu.

►SBS Update PRP receives funding for CSB senate

By Bridget Lenczewski balenczewski@csbsju.edu

Wednesday night, Catherine McGuire addressed the St. Ben’s Senate (SBS) with a request for $2,475 in funding for the Peer Resource Program (PRP) for the fall semester of the 2014-15 academic school year and was met with positive responses.

The PRP has three pillars it focuses on: challenge courses, trips and events on campus. The group asked for funding for the events on campus. The largest event of the year, Swaying Pines, would use nearly $2,000 of the budget alone. Additionally, due to the Outdoor Nation Challenge, the PRP added a few extra events this year.

“We want to create a safe environment where students feel comfortable taking that extra step to try something new and feel comfortable doing it and they’re not going to be ridiculed or feel very afraid doing it,” McGuire said.

Ma n y s e n a t o r s s p o k e i n support of the motion to fund the budget in full, the reasons being that Swaying Pines had been moved from the spring semester to the fall semester, meaning that the funding requested in spring would be considerably less than the current amount requested, and that the St. John’s senate had funded the full $2,475 requested of them even though most of the events organized by the PRP would take place on the CSB campus. The motion unanimously passed 15-0-0.

Additionally, the senate meeting began with a prayer and address of the senate by Sister Willis. She thanked the senators for their hard work representing the entire St. Ben’s student body accurately. The SBS also noted that several senators would be participating in administering Bennie Day activities that took place Oct. 2.

The senate’s next meeting will convene at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 8 in Gorecki 120.

BELL From page 1

Bell is a veritable expert on surviving tough times. “Un Moving Four Ward” is structured around nine explicit tips for combating life’s various challenges. It includes a collection of between 15 and 20 stories gleaned from Bell’s own life experiences. The tips are meant to apply to individuals facing a wide spread of life challenges, from depression to eating disorders, the disintegration of a marriage to the loss of a child.

“We all face difficult times,” Bell said. “If you can handle it with

initiatives. The bystander intervention program is also growing, reaching 250 students just this year. The CERTS (consent-equality-respect-talking-safety) team is working to define consent for students.

Klapperich and CSB junior Shannon Skelly are working closely to create a pilot program to facilitate discussion between firstyear and upperclassmen students about assault. They said they see this peer-to-peer discussion as an opportunity for more honest conversation on the topic.

“First-years are so bombarded with information (at orientation) that a lot about sexual assault and date rape doesn’t make a lot of sense to them because they don’t have the context for it yet,” Skelly

csbsjurecord.com • Page 3 courage and grace, not only will you give strength to those around you, but people will also gravitate towards you. The challenge is going to be there either way, so you might as well embrace it.”

Upon graduation from St. John’s University, Bell went on to become a tax accountant before attending law school at the University of Minnesota. He worked at the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C. for several years before transitioning to a career on Wall Street.

Learning to cope with life in a wheelchair gave Bell a sense of introspection that he might

otherwise not have had.

“Because of the things I have to deal with on a day to day basis, it’s a daily reminder that, if I’m going to go through with all this hassle, I want to make sure it counts, that I’m making a difference and proud of what I’m doing,” Bell said. “At this point, I would say I am pretty proud.”

Janean Kleist, a close colleague of Bell’s, was one of the first to read and edit an early draft of the book. Kleist describes Bell’s style as very open and honest.

“He doesn’t mince words. He’s very frank,” Kleist said. “He can connect with people in a very special way.”

said.

They believe change must be student-centered.

“I’m not at parties. I don’t know what that atmosphere is like,” Klapperich said. “That is up to students to determine or change,” Part of the national conversation on sexual assault has focused on men’s involvement, which CSB/SJU is also addressing.

T h e Me n’s D e v e l o p m e n t Institute (MDI) at SJU is working to implement programming that addresses specific aspects of the campus climate.

“It’s tough for guys because they view these talks as bashing men,” MDI member Ben Leighton said.

“We need to change that perspective.”

One way the MDI is working to change perspective is to reach out to men on a more personal, word of mouth level.

Though some students have

taken initiative to make changes on campus, there is still more work to be done.

“I think we have some great student leaders helping us on this issue in terms of educating their peers, but I wouldn’t say with confidence that our students know what consent is, I wouldn’t say with a sense of confidence that our students give consent,” Geller said.

Geller said it is important to talk about the issue and understand the policies in place before a difficult situation arises.

T h e r e s p o n s i b i l i ty t o b e informed and to act lies not with one person or group, but, as student initiatives and administration make clear, with everyone.

“I believe very strongly in the power of legislation coming out,” Skelly said, “but it can’t do anything without student advocacy.”

Bell has received an outpouring of support from the CSB/SJU community during the process of publishing his book. The Marketing Club is currently in the process of consulting with Bell about how to better market his book. Juniors Hekang Yang and Tim Zhang from ViewIn, a new club devoted to multi-media marketing, have taken the lead in revamping Bell’s website. Yang, who has been in several of Bell’s classes, describes the book as “very touching.”

Though the book is applicable to anyone going through hard times, Bell wrote it with Bennies and Johnnies in mind.

“It didn’t occur to me until the

book was almost over, but I realized I was speaking to Johnnies and Bennies,” Bell said.

Bell hopes that reading his book will help students realize a sense of personal accountability at a young age.

“You need to start being deliberate now,” Bell said. “Your relationships, your reputation—who you are is being made now.”

Bell will be speaking about his book at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 2 in Gorecki. Copies of “Un Moving Four Ward” can be purchased at http://www.bobbellbooks.com.

Sexual Assault: What is consent?

According to CSB/SJU sexual misconduct policy: - Sexual assault is actual, attempted, or threatened sexual contact with another person without that person’s consent. Sexual assault is a criminal act that can be prosecuted under Minnesota state law.

-Consent means words or overt actions by a person indicating a freely given present agreement to perform a particular sexual act with the actor. Consent must be informed and freely given and actively given.

New ABE trip to St. Mary’s Mission School

By Julia Eckart

jaeckart@csbsju.edu

The College of St. Benedict and St. John’s University will be giving students an opportunity to contribute to a long-running legacy of service in a unique setting.

For the first time at CSB/SJU, Bennies and Jonnies will have the option to do an Alternative Break Experience (ABE) through CSB campus ministry at the St. Mary’s Mission School on the Red Lake Indian Reservation.

Situated in Northwestern Minnesota, the reservation is home to the Red Lake Band of Chippewa and is one of only two closed Indian reservations in the United States. This means that the only people allowed to live on the reservation are the tribal members and their families. It is because CSB/ SJU has a historical connection to the reservation that students have this opportunity to do service work.

After being given land from the reservation’s tribal council in 1888 to establish a school, the

CSB monastery and St. John’s Abbey sent priest brothers and sisters as outreach ministry to the Red Lake Indian Reservation. Shortly after, two St. Joseph Benedictine sisters successfully founded St. Mary’s Catholic Mission school on the reservation. The sisters brought with them their strong Benedictine values and made St. Mary’s a resource for the natives to expand their English speaking skills as well as grow in their faith.

Although the institution was originally created for the reservation’s girls, it now provides schooling enriched with the Benedictine values to any preschool through sixthgrade child on the reservation.

St. Mary’s Mission School is still open today, and CSB campus ministry is offering an ABE at the Red Lake Reservation for any interested CSB/SJU students. Alternative Break Experiences aim to raise awareness of social issues and injustices, encourage reflection and questioning, foster respect and community among participants, approach trips as partnership with other people and encourage both

individual and shared leadership.

ABE believes that “Exposure to other cultures, places, and ways of life will enhance the lives and perspectives of trip participants.”

Their purpose isn’t necessarily to spread the word of the Lord, but rather to attend to the needs of the site and serve them, while also learning about the issues that each site faces. Alternate Break Experiences are meant to be life-changing and eye-opening.

The opportunity to work at the reservation should be nothing short of that, based on the experiences of people like Sister Sharon Nohner, who worked at St. Mary’s mission school from 1976-1982.

Nohner worked at the school as well as in the chemical depend ency program and women’s support group on the Red Lake Reservation.

“I learned a great love for the people, the strength they have, their deep spirituality, the sharing of human struggles we all have...and I loved the elders,” Nohner said. “Each age group has a wonderfulness about them, really.

They are powerful people. I don’t know how else to put it. It was life changing.”

Working at the reservation also taught Nohner about the Native American culture.

“There was something about the integrity and pride they had for their culture,” Nohner said.

“We want them to become part of our culture but it’s hard because their way of life and way of navigating the world has a sacred balance to it.”

Native Americans have a sacred culture they cherish and want to keep alive, but they struggle to do so.

“How do they retain their lives and live out their values in today’s world which has a very different value system and culture? Their values have been handed down by their ancestors over and over,” Nohner said.

Questions like these are likely to be raised when immersed in the Native American culture, which helps lead to greater cultural understanding.

This ABE allows CSB/SJU

students access to something that is generally closed off to public observance, furthering the trip’s value. Participants will assist teachers at the mission school, as well as learn about issues concerning unemployment and poverty, which significantly influence the lives of those living on the reservation. Over all, the focus will be on intercultural learning and understanding, community, and education and economic issues.

For those who are interested in this ABE, Nohner’s experience can give insight into what one may get out of the experience, whether it be a greater understanding of a new culture or just stepping out of one’s comfort zone.

“I lived in Stearns County for most of my life, so it really broadened my appreciation for different cultures and the richness we have and share,” Nohner said. “If you go with an open heart, you will be touched by a history and a people that have much to teach us about simplicity of life and their spiritual journey. It’s a gift…it’s amazing what you will find.”

New weekend travel option available to students For a round-trip fee of $28, students can travel to the cities on Fridays and return to campus Sundays

By Julia Eckart jaeckart@csbsju.edu

CSB/SJU is a wonderful place to be. Sometimes though, the city is calling for a visit. Jefferson Lines, a bussing service that caters to people throughout the country’s heartland, will now be offering its services to students at CSB/SJU. Jefferson Lines will be providing their College Connection Express weekend bus service directly from the SJU campus to Minneapolis for a small fee of $15 one-way or $28 round-trip.

To those who own a car on campus, transportation isn’t an issue. However, for the 213 international students as well as those coming from 27 states other than Minnesota, having a car isn’t always possible, making transportation to places off campus difficult. That is why Jefferson Lines’ bussing service will be so helpful to the students at CSB/SJU. It will make weekend getaways, family visits, and access to many other things offered in the city feasible to students who otherwise do not have transportation.

Jefferson Lines has College Connection programs implemented at several other colleges and universities and recently reached out to CSB/SJU to see if it would be possible to add a stop here. The bussing service already runs between Fargo and the Twin Cities, so it was logical to consider adding a stop at CSB/SJU. Students were also speaking up about their need for transportation options other than Zimride and Enterprise Car Share. To those who don’t feel comfortable carpooling with strangers, a bussing system was more appealing.

Jody Terhaar, CSB Dean of Students, explained why the bussing system was a critical addition to CSB/SJU. To those who don’ t have access to a vehicle, the Jefferson Lines Bussing service “provides an easy, safe, and cost effective means for students to get back and forth from the twin cities on weekends — to visit friends and family, to go to an event in the cities or a number of other reasons.” By cost effective, Terhaar is referring to the $15 one-way or $28 round-

trip fee it will cost students to use the service. In addition to the trip being affordable, the service is also high quality. Jefferson Lines’ busses are fully equipped coach busses with free Wi-Fi and power outlets, as well as luxury seating.

These amenities make the trip from CSB/SJU to Minneapolis comfortable and hassle free.

The bussing service will run on Fridays and Sundays during the school year, and will pick up students just north of the Sexton Bus stop, adjacent to the SJU Flag Pole Lot. Pick-up will be 6:00pm Fridays at SJU, and drop off will occur by 6:45 p.m. Sunday, also at SJU. The bus will have stops at three locations, which include the Maple Grove Transit Center, the University of MN campus and the Mall of America. Exact departure times for all three locations are accessible on the Jefferson Lines’ website.

All CSB/SJU students are welcome to purchase tickets for the service, and can do so online at https://webstore.jeffersonlines. com.

The St. Ben’s Senate would like to share with the student body what its committee goals are for the year: Bennie Confidence: The goal of the Bennie Confidence Committee is to uplift the women of St. Ben’s.

Senate Communications/Relations: The main goal of this committee is to create an inclusive environment among the SBS and SJS. Senate Visibility: Our goal is to Work to make the St. Ben’s Senate a recognizable avenue to connect students with resources on campus.

Collaborations and Partnerships: Promote Senate’s unique relationships with campus resources through open communication between Senate and Administrators.

Cultural Engagement: Practice the Benedictine values by fostering and expanding diverse relationships on campus.

Many CSB/SJU students know Jillian Hiscock as a beaming face who visited their high school, told them about what CSB/SJU has to offer and assisted them in finding financial aid for their college education. Many others, however, know her as an advocate and leader for students who face several unique barriers in receiving their college educations.

Hiscock grew up in Mankato, Minnesota. She completed her undergraduate degree in vocal music performance at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter in hopes of becoming a choir director. Although her passion for music didn’t waver, she found that working with high school-aged students was not the best fit for her.

“My academic passion was music, but my career passion was

higher education,” Hiscock said. “It wasn’t really until I started doing internships and getting involved on campus that I knew that.”

It was also during this time that Hiscock began to foster a passion for diversity and opportunities for disadvantaged college students. She was involved with the Diversity Center at Gustavus and a social justice theater group called “I Am, We Are.” “It’s always been a passion for me,” Hiscock said. “Both of my parents were educators, and I think that sparked an interest. We were a very open family in terms of going to different cultural events.

Talking about challenges was not shied away from in my family.”

Following graduation, Hiscock began her career in admissions at the University of MinnesotaMorris in 2007. During her time at Morris, Hiscock began her pursuit of a master’s degree in educational leadership to complement her new

career path. It was also during this time that Hiscock began to expand her understanding of diversity and how it functions on a college campus.

“I got assigned the territory of the St. Paul public schools,” Hiscock said. “At that point I knew virtually nothing of the Hmong community. Learning that it was my responsibility for my recruiting, I delved into learning about the community, their culture, background and how they came to Minnesota.”

During her second year of the master’s program, Hiscock pursued a new job opportunity with CSB/SJU. Hiscock now serves as the assistant director of admissions at CSB/SJU. In addition to recruiting students for the upcoming class of CSB/SJU through making high school visits, representing the institutions at college fairs, meeting with students individually and reviewing applications, Hiscock is also responsible for ensuring students’ success after acceptance.

Hiscock helps students schedule overnight visits and find financial aid and scholarships to fund their college educations.

In continuing her interest with diverse student populations and establishing equal opportunity for all students, Hiscock began to serve as an Intercultural LEAD Steering Committee member for the Intercultural LEAD Fellowship Program when she began her position in admissions at CSB/ SJU. The Intercultural LEAD is in its 10th year of striving to provide support for first-generation college students as they build their leadership skills. The program currently

features 104 CSB/SJU students.

In addition to her direct work with these first-generation students, Hiscock recognizes another aspect of her role with Intercultural LEAD. “Trying to bring awareness that the path to college was not easy for many of our students to our campus community is a part of (my role),” Hiscock said.

Every day we get to wake up and choose our attitude, and that is so cool.

Outside of her work at CSB/ SJU, Hiscock is a self-proclaimed craft nerd. She enjoys making cards and scrapbooking. She is also a proud “super aunt” to six nieces and nephews. She takes full advantage of living on a lake by filling her spare time outdoors with kayaking, canoeing, swimming and reading.

Hiscock supplements all of her work and play with a purposeful optimism.

“Every day we get to wake up and choose our attitude, and that is so cool,” Hiscock said. “I try to be that positive influence for myself, my coworkers, my students, my friends and my family. I think that life is far too short, and we have to be reminded of that often. It’s far too short to be living our life unhappy.”

Students, staff, alumni and other visitors enjoy fall through outdoor activities at St. John’s at the 2013 Collegeville Colors.

Collegeville Colors to return St. John’s Prep and St. John’s Outdoor University sponsor annual event along campus trails

By Vanessa Hird vmhird@csbsju.edu

The trails of St. John’s are populated with more than squirrels and deer at this time of the year.

The changing leaves, crisp air and picturesque lake-side views draw numerous students, alumni and other visitors every fall. Collegeville Colors connects the beauty of St. John’s trails in October with an interactive, nature-based experience.

Sponsored by St. John’s Prep School and St. John’s Outdoor University, the annual Collegeville Colors event will take place from 1-4 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 5 outside, in the fields and along trails of the St. John’s Prep and St. John’s University campuses. The event

is in its 12th year, and focuses on family-friendly activities while traveling the outdoor trails. Two different paths on campus lead participants through a variety of sensory and hands-on activities.

Sarah Gainey, Assistant Director of Environmental Education for St. John’s Outdoor U, facilitates the Outdoor U’s role in the Collegeville Colors event.

“A lot of people come and walk on the trails at St. John’s in the fall,” Gainey said. “We wanted to make it a little more of an experience — getting to enjoy music, and movies and food along the way.”

The “Kids Loop” is approximately 1.5 miles long and includes exploring flora and fauna with St. John’s Outdoor U, face painting, fractal geometry in nature, a pot-

tery demonstration, reptiles and amphibians with the MN Herpetological Society and interacting with animal tracks and nature crafts. The “Chapel Loop” is approximately two miles along Lake Sag to the Stella Maris Chapel.

This loop includes poetry by Larry Shug, the “ever-changing canvas painting” (a canvas to which participants can add their own strokes of paint), a scavenger hunt, a performance by the SJP Chamber Choir in the Chapel and more.

Jennine Klosterman, admission director for St. John’s Prep, is a lead coordinator of the promotion and registration, as well as many activities for the event.

Klosterman works to encourage diversity in the events.

“There will be lots of interna-

tional clubs involved, offering different games and activities for kids to try,” Klosterman said.

Members of St. John’s Outdoor U will be present at the event to promote the current Outdoor Nation Campus Challenge on campus.

“In general, it’s a family-friendly event, a time to come out and enjoy the fall colors and a nice way to wrap up homecoming,” Klosterman said.

Tickets can be purchased on the St. John’s Prep School website, or at the registration table at the entrance of SJP. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for children ages 4-17 and free for children under three.

While all students are encouraged to attend, animals and bikes are not permitted on the trails.

Members of the community can help win the ON Campus challenge by engaging in any outdoor activity for 30 minutes.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED CSB/SJU competes in nationwide outdoor activity competition

By Lauren Schoenbauer llschoenbauer@csbsju.edu

CSB/SJU is currently in the midst of a competition that has spread throughout the United States. Ten different schools are competing in Outdoor Nation’s ON Campus Challenge from Sept. 7 to Nov. 22 to gain the title of “National Outdoor Campus Champion.”

The basic premise of the competition is to get as many people as possible involved in outdoor activities. CSB/SJU s t u d e n t s , f a c u l t y, s t a f f , alumni and friends can gain credit for CSB/SJU by logging any 30-minute (or longer) outdoor activities at oncampuschallenge.org with a photo. The activities can take place on campus or anywhere in the world and still be credited toward CSB/SJU’s efforts. The school with the most documented outdoor activities at the end of the contest will win $10,000 for new outdoor equipment and a week of celebratory events provided by Outdoor Nation.

The seeds for this competition were planted when an SJU alumnus contacted St. John’s Outdoor University (OU). He informed SJU that if the school wanted to participate, a grant

could be awarded to help pay for supplies and activities that promote outdoor activities.

Junior Tanner Rayman saw this message and decided to take up the challenge.

“We looked at a lot of the adventure programming we currently have through the Outdoor leadership Center (OLC), Peer Resource Program (PRP) and OU,” Rayman said. “We synthesized it into a plan that basically showed ‘here’s what we already have, here’s what we will do with the money’ and displayed how the money will be used.”

The work paid off when CSB/ SJU was awarded the grant from Outdoor Nation. The grant money has been used to promote the Outdoor Nation competition and plan events for it. Since receiving the funding, OU student workers have been contacting people through social media and other advertising venues to spread the word about the competition.

OLC student workers have also been promoting the Outdoor Nation competition, and they are continuing their annual Adventure Challenge event and Outdoor Week later in November. “ We a r e a l s o p l a n n i n g a lot of smaller events and clinics later in the week,” junior Tyler Thompson said. “We are encouraging people to sign up and check stuff out. We are also collaborating with other clubs and organizations to promote outdoor activities in general.”

Besides planning activities on campus and encouraging students to go outside, this

competition has a huge prize in store for the winner.

“The ultimate prize for the winning campus is that the Outdoor Nation will come and do a big, week-long festival for the school and we, as a campus, would get a whole new outdoor gear library (for the OLC and Campus Rec),” Rayman said.

There are individual and w e e k l y p r i z e d raw i n g s f o r students who log their activities, but Thompson believes that the entire CSB/SJU community will greatly benefit from the Outdoor Nation competition.

“This will show students all of

the outdoor opportunities on our campus,” Thompson said. “It’ll help take advantage of the arboretum at St. John’s and the woods at St. Ben’s. Being outside is a great stress reliever and a way to relax. If we win, it will expand the opportunities our school has to offer to students.”

G e tting involved is easy.

Anyone interested can go to www.oncampuschallenge.org to sign up for an account and then document all outdoor activities online by uploading a photo. The school with the highest number of activities documented by Nov. 22 will win.

“We’ve been in first place since the beginning. We have almost three times the amount of points as the next best school,” Rayman said. “It’s been really solid so far, lots of participation.”

This is especially impressive since the schools that CSB/SJU is in competition with are large universities such as the University of Madison, CA Long Beach, Central Florida and others. All students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members are encouraged to make an account to earn CSB/SJU the grand prize.

Students seek information about Peace Corp Students continue the Benedictine tradition of service around the globe

By Christine Quinones cmquinones@csbsju.edu

Following the Benedictine tradition of service, Bennie and Johnnie volunteers continue to dedicate their time and talents volunteering abroad in the Peace Corps.

The Peace Corps is a non-profit volunteer program run by the United States that promotes world peace and friendship through the fulfillment of three goals: helping provide trained men and women to interested countries, promoting a better understanding of American culture and promoting a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans.

In a 2014 report, CSB was ranked No. 21 among other undergraduate schools with populations under 5,000; participants in the Peace Corps from CSB brought the school to stand at 11.

For alumna Rebecca Haas, currently stationed in Samoa, her experiences studying abroad during her time at CSB/SJU inspired her to volunteer after her graduation in 2012. Since her arrival in October 2012, Haas has worked as an English teacher in a rural primary school, working with grades 4-6, and will return to

America this December.

“I started thinking about volunteering after my Study Abroad experience in 2010 on the GrecoRoman program,” Haas said.

“I knew I wanted to volunteer abroad and the Peace Corps seemed like an obvious choice.

I attended many question and answer sessions and career fairs with returned peace corps volunteers that were held on campus.”

Kelsey Minten graduated from CSB in 2012 and has spent the last two years volunteering in Barranquilla, Colombia where she is co-planning and co-teaching primary and secondary English classes in an urban public school.

“My experience in the Peace Corps has changed my life in a way that is hard to describe for someone who hasn’t experienced it themselves,” Minten said. “I’ve built strong relationships in my community and gained dozens of new lifelong friends.”

Additionally, Minten collaborates with a local NGO to help build capacity, train youth volunteers, and make their client intake process more effective.

“One employer already told me that my Peace Corps experience made my resume stand out, and that’s what got me an interview,”

PHOTO FROM RECORD ARCHIVE

CSB alumna Katelyn Johnson poses for a photo in the Kampong Speu Province, Cambodia.

Minten said. “Since I am still volunteering, I can’t exactly predict how it will affect me afterwards, but I know it has enriched my perspective on the world, forced me to grow in so many ways and changed my life.”

Heidi Harlander works in Career Services and provides students interested in applying to the Peace Corps the information necessary for them to succeed.

“We help students with the application process, responding to questions and practice interviewing for the Peace Corps.”

Harlander said. “We also do a lot of arranging for Peace Corps representatives to appear on campus and connect students to Peace Corps alumni.”

Harlander firmly believes in the life skills and values graduates gain while volunteering with the Peace Corps.

“Volunteering with groups like the Peace Corps exposes students to opportunities and organizations that they didn’t know existed,” Harlander said. “Students can test out the skills they have learned in the classroom on various assignments and intensive trainings in a fiercely independent setting.”

Upon her graduation in 2008, Kraemer served as a community

health specialist in the Dominican Republic from August 2008-2011.

She lived and served in a village of 200 homes called Los Guineos in the province of Monte Plata.

“I heard about Peace Corps during volunteer fairs at St. Ben’s and then I investigated the application process, timeline and qualifications online,” Kraemer said. “I chose Peace Corps because of the full immersion into a new culture for a extended period of time. I knew I wanted to volunteer in the health sector after graduation and Peace Corps seemed like the perfect way to do that.”

Evan Cobb, an SJU graduate, recently returned from 25 months of service in Cambodia and is grateful for the experiences the Peace Corps provided him as a new graduate.

“The strengths of the peace corps are really what drew me to joining,” Cobb said. “Very few organizations actually provide a living stipend, work where the Peace Corps does, and for the duration that Peace Corps is.

These are three factors that p u s h e d m e t o w a r d s Pe a c e Corps rather than other shorter programs that cost money and weren’t quite as immersed.”

Although apprehensive at first,

2012 graduate Grace Janssen became excited for the mission she would be fulfilling in the Peace Corps and the personal challenges she would face.

“I have never been more challenged than in the Peace Corps,” Janssen said. “The Paraguayan culture has taught me so much.

I have learned how to navigate a foreign culture, how to feel awkward without showing it, that failure is okay as long as you learn from it and how important it is to slow down and do nothing.

The experiences graduates gain from the Peace Corps will not only affect them while they are serving abroad, but will remain a part of them long after they return to America. To them, the Peace Corps experience does not end when their plane touches down on American soil.

“Coming home at the end of service is harder than departure for the country,” Kraemer said.

“Peace Corps raised my awareness of the endless challenges impoverished communities face. I had a wonderful experience, and I would do it all over if I could.”

Civilian students to be chosen to attend 66th annual SCUSA conference at West Point

By Jessie Alkire

jmalkire@csbsju.edu

The 66th Student Conference on U.S. Affairs (SCUSA) will take place Nov. 12-15 at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point.

The McCarthy Center will pay all expenses for one St. Ben’s and one St. John’s student to attend the four-day conference.

SCUSA brings together civilian students and West Point cadets to facilitate interaction and discussion about U.S. affairs and global society. The annual conference includes panel discussions, keynote speakers and roundtable

discussions in which students develop policy recommendations based upon a particular theme.

The United States Military Academy first hosted SCUSA in 1948. Ever since, students and cadets have examined important issues of national significance.

For example, the conference of 1957 discussed divided Germany and Japanese rearmament. The 1977 conference examined United States policy with USSR and nuclear weapons.

This year’s SCUSA theme is “What’s the Worst That Could Happen? The Politics and Policy of Crisis Management.” Students will contemplate emergency management and disaster relief as well as discuss how the United States and its foreign policy can be prepared for disorder.

While names of the keynote speakers have not yet been released, they are usually people students would not have access to in civilian life. Roundtable discussions are also facilitated by promi-

nent government and private sector experts within their field.

At the end of the conference, students submit policy recommendations to their peers. The best recommendations are published in the “Undergraduate Journal of Social Sciences.”

“The topics are important and the conversations at the roundtable discussions are challenging,” McCarthy Center Coordinator Stacy Penk said. “You need to go into it well-researched and fully ready to engage yourself in the topic.”

Students also stay overnight in the barracks, a privilege not normally given to civilians.

“Applicants must have a strong academic record. But also be assertive and confident communicators who will contribute ideas in small group discussions,” Director of the McCarthy Center Matt Lindstrom said.

Airfare will be covered by the McCarthy Center, while the U.S. Military Academy pays for all

other expenses.

Students from St. Ben’s and St. John’s have attended SCUSA since 2005.

Previous attendees have said that they enjoyed meeting other students from around the world and living among cadets. Most found that it was shocking how different the lives of cadets were from their own. They said they were pushed out of their comfort zones and experienced a chance for growth.

“Most students come back and have had a transformative experience,” Penk said. “They have made many new contacts and learned a lot about military life as well as the viewpoints and diverse opinions of cadets and other global delegates in regards to the challenges that the U.S. faces internationally.”

For more information, contact Stacy Penk at spenk@csbsju.edu.

son’s family said. “I think it has really shaken a lot of people because it really sinks in the fact that this could happen to anyone. When I first heard that he was missing, I was in shock. He was such a talented, nice guy, and I was in a state of disbelief that something like this could happen to someone I know.”

Bearson was only 18 years old at the time of his death.

“It also has been nice to see all the support for him and his family, especially through social media and the prayer service last week” Alkire said. “I think the hardest part at this point is the lack of answers. I hope for his sake and that of his family and friends that his killer is brought to justice.”

There have been a number of memorial services in honor of Bearson including the one at CSB/SJU. Another was at North Dakota State University and at St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Sartell.

Police have made no arrests and have no suspects or motive.

OPINION Sisters’ faith does justice

Editor Bridget Barry bnbarry@csbsju.edu

Nuns on a Bus is inspiring social change

wdcritchleymenor@csbsju.edu

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Sometimes there are moments in life that cannot be completely explained by words, their meaning can only be articulated by the inaudible language of the heart.”

King’s quotation beautifully sums up my feelings when it comes to my heroes, American Nuns. These women are superheroes. They have captured my

get proposal. In 2013 they toured the country to focus on issues of immigration. This time, they are driving to expand voter turnout.

“60 percent of the population didn’t know there was a midterm election this fall. That’s why God called us to take this bus tour,” Simone Campbell, executive director of NETWORK and a member of the Sisters of Social Service, said.

Their bus tours have sparked much national attention. Campbell has appeared on the Daily Show, The Colbert Report, CNN, MSNBC and many other major media outlets.

The sisters’ work has been hailed in almost every major newspaper and even President Obama invited Simone to the Oval Office to discuss the bus trip.

For many of those in the media, this was a surprise. Catholic sisters engaging in public policy? Protesting a congressional budget pro-

posal? Well, it’s nothing new for the sisters. They’ve been fighting for justice since their beginning.

Seeking justice, loving mercy and walking humbly with God is what they do. Their lives reflect and embody the radical love Jesus has for all of His children.

In today’s world, we need to be reminded of that love.

heart.

It was about four years ago when I first marveled upon the lives of these faithful women.

I have come to be incredibly inspired, wholefully touched and deeply moved by the power of their love. It’s not necessarily normal for an 18-year-old guy to have such a devotion to Catholic sisters.

I mean Beyoncé is great, but if our generation took half of our devotion for her and turned it to women who commit their lives to something so radical as divine love for all, I think we could have a revolution. A revolution of the heart.

T his past Monday night, St. Benedict’s Monastery welcomed the Nuns on the Bus, a group of sisters that belong to NETWORK, a Catholic social justice lobby group. They took their first bus tour in 2012 to protest Rep. Paul Ryan’s U.S. Bud-

They’ve been fighting for justice since their beginning. Seeking justice, loving mercy and walking humble with God is what they do.

-Billy Critchley-Menor, SJU first-year

The sisters have a lesson for all of us.

“Start having conversations

about things that matter, please, not just the Vikings or the college sports teams...Talk to people in line at the grocery store about the upcoming election or about the fact that the average age of people trafficked in Minnesota is 13.”

Cambell also mentioned issues of climate justice, a living wage and children’s rights.

St. Catherine of Sienna once said, “If you are what you should be, you’ll set the world on fire.”

W i t h e x t ra o r d i n a r y g ra c e , humility and passion, these women have set the world ablaze.

Catholic sisters have tied their faith to the people in a radical movement to show mercy and create justice. Let’s join them and make sure we vote this November.

American approach to ISIS ignorant of historical context

Everyone who has been paying even the slightest bit of attention to the news has heard of the conflict with ISIS in Syria and Iraq. The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (aka: The Islamic State or ISIL; the ‘L’ stands for Levant), or ISIS as we know it, is a Sunni jihadist extremist group that

as Mississippi. And it is not going to stop anytime soon.

“

For some reason, Western world leaders think that they can put boots on the ground, kill the extremists and restore order to an area that has never been orderly in all of human existance.

claims they have religious authority over all Muslims around the world. Their main goal is to bring Muslim-inhabited regions of the world under their control, beginning with the Levant, which includes Syria, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Cyprus and southern Turkey.

In this description, it sounds like they are super terrible people.

But that is most definitely not the case. They are the most brutal group of religious extremists to walk over the Middle East since the Latin Roman Catholics did during the bloody Crusades from 1095 to 1291. If one thing can be learned from looking through all human history, it is that this area of the world, the birth place of most modern globally organized religions, has been fighting over the same city that is about as big

For some reason, western world leaders think that they can put boots on the ground, kill the extremists and restore order to an area that has never been orderly

in all of human existence. In this sense, the propaganda that ISIS is releasing is right on a low level.

I do not condone their actions.

However, when other populations do not, and probably never will, have a full understanding of the culture and religions of the area, it is fruitless to try to tell the people there how to live. I can understand the Islamic State’s frustration.

I think the western world needs to take a step back and realize that we cannot change this plight with a summit of western world leaders concerning a conflict that has been going on for thousands of years. In the same vein, I don’t think we should completely abandon the Muslims who are peacefully and respectfully practicing Islam. I think the only real thing the western world can do is educate their own people that

ISIS does not represent all Muslims, and come together to help, or even offer asylum, for the innocent Muslims who are dying in the crossfire. We cannot negotiate with crazy, extremist people, and killing them is only going to add fuel to their fire and recruit more to their cause.

Is this a pessimistic view of the conflict that has been raging for millennia? No. It is the realistic view, and our Western world leaders need to get off their high horse and their heads out of the sand.

No weapons.

No military.

Just humanism for those who are innocent and need the help.

This is the opinion of Marc Mack, an SJU junior

Creating a more inclusive campus community

There are many organizations, clubs, professors and students on campus that are culturally sensitive. With that being said, there are just as many who are not culturally sensitive and are pretty much disrespectful.

The first time that I faced discrimination was during my first year here. As I was picking a seat, the girl next to me looked at me from top to bottom, as if examining me, made a face and turned around. The best way to describe the look was “what are you doing here?” Another case was during my first year. A professor was talking about low income families and she turns to me and says, “You’re poor, right?” and turned back around and continued on teaching as if she said nothing wrong. I was in shock, I had no idea how to react so I kept it to myself.

The most recent case was last year. I am sure you remember the peaceful rally that took place at

geblanco@csbsju.edu

stop complaining.

Unfortunately, discrimination happens so often on this campus. What is worse, is that most of this is subtle. There is no way to prove it. These F.A.M.S.A.K. themes were a way to show not only the student body, but faculty and staff just how much more work there has to be done in order to uphold the Benedictine Values and to make this campus as inclusive as it is promoted to be. Many argued that the rally was violent. Apparently screaming is violent? We were told that it was not the right way to respond, that we should have done a panel, brought a speaker or had an event discussing what happened. I work for the Intercultural and International Student Services, and am a part of Exploring Latin American Cultures and I also work with various clubs around campus. panels, speakers and events have been going on throughout these past three years, but almost no one attends, and if they do, it is usually the same faces. We were not being heard. We are being ignored, our messages deleted; we needed to be heard. So many stories and experiences were being erased, ignored and forgotten because many students believed that events and panels do not relate to them.

Following the rally, the school organized an open panel where everyone was invited to discuss what happened and to see how we can move forward as a

community. When other students and I posted on the F.A.M.S.A.K. page and other school Facebook pages in order to promote and ask people to attend the forum, many said that they did not have time for it. They responded with, “Will the Wild game be on?”

the end of last semester. To clear things up, the rally was not just about F.A.M.S.A.K. F.A.M.S.A.K. was merely the tipping point. When a picture mocking Hispanic culture and making a joke of immigration surfaced on Facebook, a bunch of other students and I messaged the off-campus students who put the picture up. We told them how offensive the party was to us and why it was inappropriate. Their responses: “Just shut up, you’re being too sensitive.” “You came to CSB/SJU, so you knew what you were getting into.” “Leave the group, please.”

Even after they told us these things, we continued to reply positively and they proceeded to delete our posts. The basic response of many of the people on the Facebook page were that we were “just complaining.” After looking at past F.A.M.S.A.K. themes, (transgender, hip-hop, basketball bros and yoga hoes, pigtails and pedophiles), —obviously something is not right.

F.A.M.S.A.K is hosted by seniors, seniors who have passed the intercultural credit and gender credit, yet they saw nothing wrong in the offensive and disgusting F.A.M.S.A.K. themes. Many argued that it was merely tradition and the hosts were forced to do these themes. Regardless of that, the point was that these themes were wrong. When students spoke up, we were told to be silent and

Still, the forum was a great success. Over 400 students and staff attended. It went over schedule by two hours and it only stopped because the busses stopped running at midnight.

Although new faces showed up I was disappointed that the people who really needed to hear the stories of their fellow Bennies and Johnnies never showed up.

There are a lot of things we can do to raise awareness. One of these would be to clearly address that the rally happened last year and the reasoning behind it. It was not students complaining about F.A.M.S.A.K. It

was about students being tired of being discriminated against for their skin color and differences.

It was a scream for help, from not only the student body, but faculty to make this is a community for all, not a select few.

Many of the issues that led to the rally are presented on by students and speakers at various events throughout the year. One thing students can do is attend these events with an open mind and open heart.

The one thing that can definitely bring a change is for students, faculty and staff to understand.

Understand that not everyone is the same, everyone is different and different does not mean inferior. Everyone has gone through different experiences. We all also have to understand that stereotypes that are presented in the media and internet do not define a person. And always understand that just because it isn’t happening to you that does not mean it doesn’t exist.

If you disagree with any of the rally or statements that I have made, please feel free to contact me in order to have an openminded discussion in person. I would also like to add that this rally and movement was created out of the love of our community, not the hatred of others.

This is the opinion of Guillermo Blanco, an SJU senior

CSB/SJU presidents congratulate students on football game behavior Dear Editor,

OUR VIEW

Victory is in more than the scoreboard “Our view” is prepared by the Executive board and should be considered the institutional voice of The Record

Beth Leipholtz Editor-in-Chief emleipholtz@csbsju.edu Tierney Chlan Managing Editor tmchlan@csbsju.edu

Victories—CSB/SJU is no stranger to them.

Take O’Shaughnessy Stadium for instance. We won there—in more ways than one.

T h e Jo h n n i e s b e at t h e Tommies, keeping the Holy Grail trophy within Johnnie (and Bennie) hands for the second year in a row.

Victory, however, did not just concern football. CSB/SJU students also came out on top in the classiness department, keeping degrading chants and cheers to a minimum. Though there was no scoreboard to keep track of the classy game, perhaps that was the biggest victory of the day.

Even the CSB/SJU presidents took the time to reach out and express their gratitude and pride in the behavior of our institution’s students.

Following swiftly on the heels of Tommie-Johnnie (a speed and excitement matched with those who stormed the field), CSB/SJU began homecoming celebrations.

And as homecoming week speeds toward its highly-anticipated football game vs. Hamline, the CSB/SJU community is looking for another win. The outcome

of the game as of yet remains uncertain, but victory of another kind is seemingly guaranteed.

On Saturday, Clemens Stadium is sure to be packed. Red-clad students will crowd together to cheer on their classmates, their team. But “their” does not just apply to current students.

Countless alumni will fill the stadium as well. Some will be recent graduates, returning to see friends they’ve left only months ago. Others will have been out of school for longer, and may even have some future Bennies and Johnnies in tow.

Although behavior historically has not been as concerning during homecoming as it has been during Tommie-Johnnie, it is still important to remember we are in the presence of families and children—and we need to act accordingly.

If we do so, we grasp another victory—making our institutions proud yet again. The strength of that and the community, the way homecoming brings the CSB/ SJU community together year after year without fail, is a victory in itself.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK Who would be a good addition to the homecoming concert?

Freddy Ryan Junior

Jess Hanowski Junior

Maya Hermerding First-year

“Chance the Rapper.”

“Justin Moore.”

“Piano Guys.”

Last week we were heartened to see the ways in which many of you reached out to peers to remind them of the kind of community we want to be. We thought the “Future Bennies and Johnnies Look Up to You” campaign to encourage mature and Benedictine sportsmanship at the Tommie game was especially creative and thoughtful.

It was also apparently effective. The vast majority of our fans at the football game behaved in a Benedictine fashion, respecting individuals and demonstrating

care for the community. We both attended the game at St. Thomas and were very proud to be representing the College of St. Benedict and St. John’s University.

Thank you for showing those beyond St. Joseph and Collegeville what an exceptional community we have.

Sincerely, Mary Hinton, CSB President Michael Hemeseth, SJU President

CSB/SJU students kept it classy during UST game Dear Editor, Saturday was a good day to be a CSB/SJU student. Not only because the Johnnies beat the Tommies, which was awesome.

Also because of how impressive our student fan section was.

The week before the game, I heard a lot of comments, read articles and received emails about ending the disrespectful cheers that are often chanted at football games. We were told time and time again to keep the cheers polite and remember that families and future Bennies and Johnnies would be in the crowd watching.

Honestly, I did not expect anything to change. Although the cheers that many people wanted to end were demoralizing, I figured that they would keep happening because they are tradition.

Within minutes of arriving at O’Shaughnessy stadium, I heard the first student-lead cheer. It was the classic “SJU! SJU! SJU!” I joined in the chant as I fought my way through ever yone’s sweaty bodies, which proved to be very difficult since we were squished together like sardines no matter where we walked. Soon after that cheer ended I heard a voice from someone in the crowd near me. They were trying to begin the “F*** St. Thomas” chant.

My ears perked up as I waited for others to join in. Instead of the chant growing louder though, an upperclassman nearby turned around and simply said, “We’re done with that.” And it worked— The cheer that never gained momentum ended. I couldn’t believe it. If the perspiring crowd hadn’t confined me, I would have run over to that upperclassman and told him how awesome I thought he was. But I quickly noticed that this strong leader wasn’t alone. If I had tried to compliment everyone who discouraged the rude chants, I would’ve

been running around the entire time and I never would have gotten to see the game. Instead of bringing down the St. Thomas team, I only heard cheers that built our team up. “Johnnie Defense,” “Johnnie offence,” and my new personal favorite, “Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!” were heard loud and clear throughout the stadium.

I was so unbelievably impressed with my classmates and proud to be a CSB/SJU student.

And I wasn’t only impressed with what I heard, but also with what I saw in our fan section. Our t-shirts first of all, were top notch.

Except for maybe one or two tshirt designs, nothing that our students were wearing degraded the other team. I was especially proud of this after hearing that the UST students who made shirts were not allowed to affiliate the design with their school because of the demoralizing messages they displayed.

Besides clothing, at one point a garbage can was picked up and bounced above the student section. Maybe it was supposed to raise excitement, but it also dumped trash all over the students and the stands. This activity only lasted about 30 seconds before another group of students took it down and kept it out of the air. These leaders kept our student section classy. Even without the garbage can flying around, everyone’s good cheer kept excitement in the air. Seriously, our student section was overflowing with good attitudes.

Saturday was a very good day.

We cheered well, we looked good and we showed everyone how great CSB/SJU students are.

Sincerely, Lauren Schoenbauer CSB junior

Homesick for CSB/SJU homecoming

SEAN DONOHUE • smdonohue@csbsju.edu Johnnies and Bennies storm the field at O’Shaughnessy Stadium after a dominant victory over rival St. Thomas on Saturday, Sept. 27 in St. Paul.

On Saturday, Oct. 4, Clemens stadium will be filled to the brim with proud supporters of the CSB/ SJU community.

Though the football matchup be tween St. John’s and Hamline University will have the title of homecoming game, the celebration stretches far beyond just Johnnie athletics.

While the events that take place this weekend are valued by current students of CSB/SJU, the homecoming atmosphere as

a whole is cherished by alumni, family and friends from all over. “ I t ’s a m a z i n g t o s e e s o many young families visit our campuses,” senior Olivia Rodriguez said. “Many of these kids could grow up to be future Bennies and Johnnies, so it’s important for us to show them that our schools are worth celebrating.”

Rodriguez, the president of St. Ben’s Senate, is one of the key members of the CSB/SJU community in charge of preparing the schools for this weekend’s upcoming activities.

“My hope is that we can all do

a great job of representing our school spirit and our treasured traditions,” Rodriguez said. “But most of all, I hope we all have a ton of fun.”

It’s important to show them that our campuses are worth celebrating.

-Olivia Rodriguez, CSB senior

These happenings will be planned around the big football

matchup, but are by no means defined by the game. Rodriguez and her colleagues are stressing the idea that homecoming for CSB/SJU is about all aspects of this community, not just one team’s success.

Students have appreciated the work done by both the SJU and CSB senates in years past, and 2014 should share in that sentiment.

“Don’t get me wrong, the football game is wonderful for boosting school spirit,” senior Claire Cunningham said. “But our schools always do so much beyond

that to make it a great week as a whole.”

The game serves as a springboard for the rest of the weekend and is crucial to ultimately bringing the community together.

The highly-anticipated game between the Johnnies take on the Hamline Pipers at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 4 at Clemens Stadium in Collegeville.

“I really love seeing so many people come back for the homecoming festivities,” Cunningham said. “It makes me proud to be part of one giant family of Johnnies and Bennies.”

SEAN DONOHUE • smdonohue@csbsju.edu The CSB/SJU community prides itself on being able to pack so many loyal fans into Clemens Stadium for the homecoming game on an continual basis.
