SEMESTER BEGINS AS STUDENTS RETURN IN PERSON Amidst rising cases, university continues to require masks along with other precautions

By JULIA BARTON • News Director Photo by DYLAN ENGEL • Staff Photographer Minnesota State University, Mankato started spring semester Monday with in-person classes as scheduled while keeping an eye on the rise of COVID-19 numbers.

Recently a spike of COVID-19 cases and, more specifically the Omicron variant, has been rapidly making its way across the country which has impacted several college campuses to take further action to prevent the spread.

MSU currently requires masks be worn in all indoor buildings as well as encourages social distancing.

Contracting COVID is a reality that the majority will face as MSU has measures in place for those specific scenarios.

“We want to encourage that when a student has a concern they were in con-

tact with someone who has COVID or has COVID themselves, we find ways to keep them moving in their classes and also report to our hotline and help us contain that spread,” Brian Martensen, Interim Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, said.

Martensen oversees the academic operations of the University and has been a part of MSU since 2006.

“We know that students are most successful when class is held in-person, for example labs and clinicals,” he said.

“Our goal is to keep those programs going in ways that are safe and effective.”

MSU is limiting person-to-person contact both in the classroom and outside of the classroom.

“If we can find places where larger

events can be moved to hybrid or online to avoid large gatherings, that’s helpful.

Limiting food is a big one, and seeing which pockets are leading to outbreaks,” Martensen expressed.

Limiting classroom activities when possible is another strategy being used inside the classroom.

Martensen said roughly 92% of employees and 72% of students at MSU are vaccinated. He also said the newer Omicron variant is known to cause less severe symptoms to those who have been vaccinated.

If MSU were to go back online that would be a discussion cabinet members and President Edward Inch would decide upon. MSU is part of the Minnesota state school system which also has COVID-19

guidelines and protocols which MSU has enforced as well as highly encourages students and faculty to get vaccinated and boosted.

The university regularly has a call every other week with the Minnesota Department of Health in which they run scenarios and discuss the current state of COVID-19 on campus and what precautions they can take.

It is predicted that the peak of this COVID-19 wave may hit the state of Minnesota in the coming weeks then tail off as seen in past spikes.

According to the MDH, Monday’s COVID-19 update included 10,964 newly reported cases and 44 newly reported deaths. Minnesota’s COVID-19 death toll is now at 10,810.

COVID tests to be covered by insurers starting Saturday

By ZEKE MILLER Associated Press

Starting Saturday, private health insurers will be required to cover up to eight home COVID-19 tests per month for people on their plans. The Biden administration announced the change Monday as it looks to lower costs and make testing for the virus more convenient amid rising frustrations.

Under the new policy, first detailed to the AP, Americans will be able to either purchase home testing kits for free under their insurance or submit receipts for the tests for reimbursement, up to the monthly per-person limit.

A family of four, for instance, could be reimbursed for up to 32 tests per month. PCR tests and rapid tests ordered or administered by a health provider will continue to be fully covered by insurance with no limit.

President Joe Biden faced criticism over the holiday season for a shortage of at-home rapid tests as Americans traveled to see family amid the surge in cases from the more transmissible omicron variant. Now the administration is working to make COVID-19 home tests more accessible, both by increasing supply and bringing down costs.

DAVID DERMER • Associated Press

Youngstown City Health Department worker Faith Terreri grabs two at-home COVID-19 test kits to be handed out during a distribution event, Dec. 30, 2021, in Youngstown, Ohio.

Later this month, the federal government will launch a website to begin making 500 million at-home COVID-19 tests available via mail. The administration also is scaling up emer-

gency rapid-testing sites in areas experiencing the greatest surges in cases.

The insurer-covered testing would dramatically reduce costs for many Americans, and the

administration hopes that by easing a barrier to more regular at-home testing, it can help slow the spread of the virus, get kids back into school more quickly and help people gather safely.

“This is all part of our overall strategy to ramp up access to easy-to-use, at-home tests at no cost,” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement. “By requiring private health plans to cover people’s at-home tests, we are further expanding Americans’ ability to get tests for free when they need them.”

Biden announced the federal requirement late last year, and it kicks in on Jan. 15, but the administration had been silent until now on details of the plan.

The administration is trying to incentivize private insurers to cover the tests up-front and without a cumbersome reimbursement process. Insurance plans that work with pharmacies and retailers to cover the up-front costs of the tests will be required to reimburse only up to $12 per test if purchased through an out-of-network retailer. Plans that don’t move proactively to set up a network of pharmacies would have to cover the full retail price that the customer paid — which could be more than $12 per test.

There was no immediate reaction from insurers, or details yet on potential insurer and retailer partnerships ahead of Saturday’s effective date.

Hospitals lets infected staff members stay on the job

Tuesday, January 11, 2022

Doors fail in NYC fire killing 17

By DAVID PORTER Associated Press

STEVEN SENNE • Associated Press

Registered nurse Sara Nystrom, of Townshend, Vt., prepares to enter a patient’s room in the COVID-19 Intensive Care Unit at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, in Lebanon, N.H., Jan. 3, 2022.

By ADRIANNA GOMEZ Associated Press

Hospitals around the U.S. are increasingly taking the extraordinary step of allowing nurses and other workers infected with the coronavirus to stay on the job if they have mild symptoms or none at all.

The move is a reaction to the severe hospital staffing shortages and crushing caseloads that the omicron variant is causing.

California health authorities announced over the weekend that hospital staff members who test positive but are symptom-free can continue working. Some hospitals in Rhode Island and Arizona have likewise told employees they can stay on the job if they have no symptoms or just mild ones.

The highly contagious omicron variant has sent new cases of COVID-19 exploding to over 700,000 a day in the U.S. on average, obliterating the record set a year ago. The number of Americans in the hospital with the virus is running at

about 108,000, just short of the peak of 124,000 last January.

Many hospitals are not only swamped with cases but severely shorthanded because of so many employees out with COVID-19.

At the same time, omicron appears to be causing milder illness than the delta variant.

Last month, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention said that health care workers who have no symptoms can return to work after seven days with a negative test, but that the isolation time can be cut further if there are staffing shortages.

France last week announced it is allowing health care workers with mild or no symptoms to keep treating patients rather than isolate.

In the Phoenix area, Dignity Health, a major hospital operator, sent a memo to staff members saying those infected with the virus who feel well enough to work may request clearance from their managers to go back to caring for patients.

Investigators sought answers Monday for why safety doors failed to close when fire broke out in a New York highrise, allowing thick smoke to rise through the tower and kill 17 people, including eight children, in the city’s deadliest blaze in more than three decades.

A malfunctioning electric space heater apparently started the fire Sunday in the 19-story building in the Bronx, fire officials said. The flames damaged only a small part of the building, but smoke poured through the apartment’s open door and turned stairwells into dark, ash-choked death traps. The stairs were the only method of escape in a tower too tall for fire escapes. Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro said the apartment’s front door and a door on the 15th floor should have been self-closing and blunted the spread of smoke, but the doors stayed fully open. It was not clear if the doors failed mechanically or if they had been manually disabled. Nigro said the apartment door was not obstructed.

The heavy smoke blocked some residents from escaping and incapacitated others as they tried to flee, fire officials said.

Victims, many in cardiac and respiratory arrest, were found on every one floor. Firefighters carried out limp children and gave them oxygen and continued making rescues even after their air supplies ran out. Glenn Corbett, a fire science professor at John Jay College in New York City, said closed doors are vital to containing fire and smoke, especially in buildings that do not have automatic sprinkler systems.

“It’s pretty remarkable that the failure of one door could lead to how many deaths we had here, but that’s the reality of it,” Corbett said. “That one door played a critical role in allowing the fire to spread and the smoke and heat to spread vertically through the build-

ing.”

Dozens of people were hospitalized, including several in critical condition. Mayor Eric Adams called it an “unspeakable tragedy” at a news conference near the scene Monday.

“This tragedy is not going to define us,” Adams said. “It is going to show our resiliency.”

Adams lowered the death toll from an initial report Sunday, saying that two fewer people were killed than originally thought. Nigro said patients were taken to seven hospitals and “there was a bit of a double count.”

The dead included children as young as 4 years old, City Council Member Oswald Feliz said.

An investigation was underway to determine how the fire spread and whether anything could have been done to prevent or contain the blaze, Nigro said. A fire department official said the space heater had been running for a “prolonged period” before the fire began.

What caused it to malfunction remains under investigation, spokesman Frank Dwyer said.

Fire then spread quickly to nearby furniture and bedding, Dwyer said.

Nigro said the heat was on

in the building before the fire started, and the space heater was being used to supplement it.

But Stefan Beauvogui, who lived with his wife in the building for about seven years, said cold was an ongoing problem in his fourth-floor apartment.

Beauvogui said he had three space heaters for the winter — for the bedrooms and the sitting room. The heating system that was supposed to warm the apartment “don’t work for nothing.” He said he had complained, but it had not been fixed.

Large, new apartment buildings are required to have sprinkler systems and interior doors that swing shut automatically to contain smoke and deprive fires of oxygen, but those rules do not apply to thousands of the city’s older buildings.

The building was equipped with self-closing doors and smoke alarms, but several residents said they initially ignored the alarms because they were so common in the 120-unit building. Bronx Park Phase III Preservation LLC, the group that owns the building, said it was cooperating fully with the fire department and the city and working to assist residents.

US surgeons transplant pig heart into human patient

In this photo provided by the University of Maryland School of Medicine, members of the surgical team show the pig heart for transplant into patient David Bennett in Baltimore on Friday, Jan. 7, 2022.

By CARLA K. JOHNSON Associated Press

In a medical first, doctors transplanted a pig heart into a patient in a last-ditch effort to save his life and a Maryland hospital said Monday that he’s doing well three days after the highly experimental surgery.

While it’s too soon to know if the operation really will work, it marks a step in the decades-long quest to one day use animal organs for life-saving transplants.

Doctors at the University of Maryland Medical Center say the transplant showed that a heart from a genetically modified animal can function in the human body without immediate rejection.

The patient, David Bennett, a 57-year-old Maryland

handyman, knew there was no guarantee the experiment would work but he was dying, ineligible for a human heart transplant and had no other option, his son told The Associated Press.

“It was either die or do this transplant. I want to live.

I know it’s a shot in the dark, but it’s my last choice,” Bennett said a day before the surgery, according to a statement provided by the University of Maryland School of Medicine.

On Monday, Bennett was breathing on his own while still connected to a heart-lung machine to help his new heart.

The next few weeks will be critical as Bennett recovers from the surgery and doctors carefully monitor how his heart is faring.

Comedian and actor Bob Saget was found dead lying face up on his bed in a luxury hotel room in Florida with no signs of trauma, according to an sheriff’s office report released Monday.

There were no signs of foul play, and the room itself was in order, “with items owned

by Mr. Saget on the nightstand, television stand, closet and bathroom,” according to the report from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

Saget’s left arm was across his chest and his right arm was resting on his bed when deputies and paramedics arrived Sunday at his room at the Ritz Carlton in Orlando and pronounced him dead, the report said.

Saget was best known for his role as beloved single dad Danny Tanner on the sitcom “Full House” and as the wisecracking host of “America’s Funniest Home Videos.” He was 65.

Saget had been scheduled to check out of his room on Sunday, and when family members were unable to get in touch

Quit the lofty New Year’s resolution

maxwell.mayleben@mnsu.edu

MADISON DIEMERT

madison.diemert@mnsu.edu

Editorial “Get back in the gym” is often the choice resolution for people going into the new year looking to be healthier. People set goals like “work out 5 times a week” or “lose 20 pounds by the end of the year”.

While these goals have the right idea, there is a reason they are seldom achieved.

There are several reasons these resolutions rarely come to pass, but the largest is that they are designed to fail. We put an immense amount of pressure on ourselves when we ignite these large goals. After all, when we create them, it is almost always in a time of pure ambition and drive for the next year.

The problem with those moments is that they are difficult to uphold through long periods of time. When our goals expect 100% of our effort all the time, then they allow for failure 0% of the time.

It is simply human nature that if you create an expectation of yourself, and you do not meet that expectation, there will be a level of disappointment and thus discouragement. When we feel discouraged, we often are less likely to continue with the goals we had set. So how do we combat this discouragement via overloaded goals?

Two ideas come to mind.

First, the 75% rule. When you go to make your New Year’s resolution, create the expectation that you will put in 75% effort into

completing said resolution.

This may seem counter intuitive, but it does wonders.

It allows for errors and mess ups without compromising the entire resolution. If you cheat on your diet for one day, it doesn’t mean that you won’t follow it the next day.

Another idea is utilizing “SMART” goals. SMART is an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-Based.

Starting with specific, make sure that your goal has a narrow breadth, so that

you can effectively plan. For example, instead of saying “gain muscle”, try saying “increase my main lifts by 25%.”

Measurable comes in your ability to prove whether or not you achieved your goal.

If using the prior example, you would be able to accurately measure whether or not the goal was achieved. It also allows you to measure your progress as time progresses.

Attainability might be one of the most important, as for a goal to be successful, it needs to have the

potential to be attained.

Relevance makes sense, as if your overall goal is to achieve better health, your goal should be in line with that, such as fitness or diet.

Time-based is crucial, as you need to have a deadline to achieve your goals. Try breaking up your goal over periods of time, rather than having one massive deadline at the end of the year.

For example, if you want to lose 30 pounds by the end of the year, break that down month by month instead.

Man pleads no contest for buying Rittenhouse’s gun

Dominick Black testifies during Kyle Rittenhouse’s trial at the Kenosha County Courthouse in Kenosha, Wis, on Nov. 2, 2021. Black, who bought an AR-15-style rifle for Rittenhouse has pleaded no contest.

By TODD RICHMOND Associated Press

The man who bought an AR-15-style rifle for Kyle Rittenhouse pleaded no contest Monday to a reduced charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor in a deal with prosecutors that allows him to avoid prison.

Kenosha County Circuit Judge Bruce Schroeder accepted Dominick Black’s plea during a six-minute hearing.

Assistant District Attorney Thomas Binger dropped two felony counts of intent to deliver a dangerous weapon to a minor as part of the deal.

Contributing to the delinquency of a minor is a misdemeanor punishable by up to nine months in jail, but Binger reduced the charge to a non-criminal county ordinance violation. Under the deal, Black will pay a $2,000 fine.

Each felony count would have been punishable by up to six years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Rittenhouse used the rifle to shoot three people, killing two, during a tumultuous night of protests in Kenosha in 2020 over the shooting of a Black man, Jacob Blake, by a white police officer. A jury acquitted Rittenhouse of homicide and other charges in November.

Binger told Schroeder that he didn’t believe he could move forward with the felony counts against Black, who testified against Rittenhouse. Binger noted, among other things, that during Rittenhouse’s trial, Schroeder sided with defense attorneys who argued that Wisconsin law prohibits minors from possessing short-barreled rifles and short-barreled shotguns but allows them to possess long guns.

“In these circumstances, to go forward with these felony charges against Mr. Black, given the court’s legal ruling as well as Mr. Black’s cooperation and the jury’s decision in the Rittenhouse case, does not seem appropriate,” Binger said.

Applications now being accepted for the 2022-2023 school year for the following position:

I was once told that although obtaining a degree is a step in the right direction, a piece of paper indicating what you studied in college doesn’t mean as much without proof of experience within the field you wish to enter. That’s where internships come in, and you’ve probably been offered advice regarding them since you stepped foot on campus. I sure did.

As a senior now with a couple of internships under my belt and two more starting this semester, I figured it was time to share some of my own insights and advice about something so valuable and possibly nerve-wrecking for students.

When it comes to internships, the biggest thing to keep in mind is that it’s an opportunity, not a guarantee.

What I mean by that is internships are an opportunity to get your hands dirty in your field rather than just learning about it in a classroom setting.

If you’re anything like me, then you learn better by actually doing something rather than just hearing about it or seeing it.

Internships are helpful in that regard.

The idea of that might scare some people, but the truth is, being a freshman means you’re allowed to make mistakes, you’re allowed to ask any and all sorts of questions, and you’re allowed to be the worst at something while you learn to get better at it. So take advantage of being the newbie in

JULIA BARTON • The Reporter

Internships provide knowledge and experience for students before entering the workforce.

your field and learn from your mistakes, remain curious, and be bad at it on your way to becoming good.

It’s an opportunity to test the waters and see if you truly want to work in your field after graduation, or if it sounds better on paper. As a political science minor, I thought I wanted to work within the field, possibly doing public relations for politicians or campaign work for candidates.

I landed an internship that allowed me to do both, and although it sounded like a sweet gig at first, I quickly learned that it wasn’t for me.

One of the best things that have come out of any of my internships are the lifetime connections I made, the knowledge I gained from being around experienced workers within my field, and the ability to prove to myself that I not only belong in my chosen field, but that I’m capable of succeeding in it.

Internships are not, howev-

er, a guarantee.

A common misconception about internships is that you will receive a job offer at the end of it. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case.

Most of the time, if you were a good intern, not receiving that offer to permanently stay has nothing to do with you and more to do with the company’s inability to hire someone new due to an already full payroll.

Other times, you might have just been too young to have been offered a position within the company.

Regardless of whether or not you will land a job at the place you intern at, give it your all. Show them that if they do choose to hire you at the end of your internship, that you will be a great addition to the team.

If you don’t receive a job offer, then at least you showed them that you’re someone that they should stay connected with or at least refer to in the future.

Mavericks sweep Bulldogs, again

By KOLE BUELOW • Sports Editor It has been an impressive stretch of games for the Minnesota State Men’s hockey team, where they have most recently found themselves the holders of a nine-game winning streak.

The win streak started way back in November, when the Mavericks took game two of their series against Lake Superior State on the road.

That streak has continued into the new year, where the team most recently extended it to nine with a home sweep over Ferris State to improve to 20-4-0 overall on the season. With the win, the Mavs remain atop the CCHA standings at 14-2-0 and continue to solidify their No. 1 spot in the USCHO Division I Men’s college hockey rankings.

Despite school being out for winter break, MSU still had some important games to play over the month of December, including a non-conference battle against No. 6 Minnesota Duluth.

First came an away series against CCHA opponent Bemidji State, whom the Mavericks defeated 5-1 and 3-1 in each of the contests to gain six more points in CCHA play.

The Mavs then played previously ranked No. 6 Minnesota Duluth in a home and home series in a highly anticipated battle. The two teams did not disappoint, with MSU coming out on top in both games of the series.

The Mavericks won their home game by the means of overtime, thanks to a beautiful half ice saucer pass from Brendan Furry to Cade Borchardt.

Borchardt was able to corral the puck and go over Bulldog goaltender Ryan Fanti’s shoulder on the breakaway to win 2-1. Game two was a much different story, with the Mavs shutting out

Duluth on away ice 3-0 to start the new year off right.

Minnesota State most recently returned to Mayo Clinic Health System Event Center this past weekend to face another CCHA opponent in the Ferris State Bulldogs.

The Bulldogs were one of four teams to top the Mavericks to this point in the season, and the Mavs made sure that did not happen again to keep their win streak alive.

MSU came prepared to defend home ice in this one, with several outstanding performances over the weekend. The first game of the series was just as impressive as the second, with the Mavericks scoring seven goals in both of the contests.

Senior defenseman and captain of the Mavs Wyatt Aamodt squeaked in a hat trick in game one, scoring three goals with one coming with only 2:05 remaining in the third period. Junior forward Nathan Smith also had three points on the night in the form of one goal and two assists.

Ferris State’s lone goal came on the power play with 5:52 remaining in the second period, where Bradley Marek got the rebound off a Dryden McKay toe save for the Bulldog’s only goal of the weekend. Game two was just as successful for the Mavericks, with Nathan Smith totaling another three points off one goal and two assists.

Forwards Julian Napravnik and Zach Krajnik both had two goals in game two, with Krajnik’s both tallying in as his first goals as a Maverick.

Senior goaltender McKay earned yet another shutout in game two, upping his season total to eight while extending the NCAA Division I men’s hockey shutouts record to 32.

Men’s basketball defeat Golden Bears for a second time

By KOLE BUELOW Sports Editor

It was an amazing start for the Minnesota State men’s basketball team, who entered winter break with an overall record of 7-3. Since, the team has been won three of their past four games.

MSU has been home ever since their Dec. 11 loss to Wayne State, and that home stand looks to extend itself with their games against No. 5 Minnesota Duluth and St. Cloud State in danger of not being played due to COVID concerns.

Over the final stretch of Dec. and into the new year, the Mavericks defeated Sioux Falls, Dakota State, and Concordia-St. Paul, while only losing once to Southwest Minnesota State in overtime.

The Mavs dominated Sioux Falls 81-63, thanks to im-

pressive performances behind Quincy Anderson and Devante Thedford who both reached the 20-point mark. MSU won the game inside of the three point line, where they nearly shot 60 percent from the field despite only shooting 31% from behind the arc with zero made threepoint field goals in the second half.

The team then played the following day against the Southwest Minnesota State Mustangs, losing that one in an OT thriller 69-71. Sophomore Malik Willingham led the Mavericks in scoring against the Mustangs with 15, but it was not enough as SMSU buried the final field goal of overtime with six seconds left to go home with a win.

MSU then returned back to the Taylor Center just two days later to face Dakota State, where the team handled business behind Anderson’s 26 point night.

Anderson also added a team high seven rebounds and four assists in the 82-73 win over the Trojans.

The Mavs faced a bit of a break until returning back to play in the new year against NSIC opponent Concordia-St. Paul.

The Mavericks had previously played the Golden Bears in only their fourth game of the season, winning that contest 8166.

The two teams met again on Jan. 2 where Minnesota State was able to keep Concordia-St. Paul winless in NSIC play to improve to 10-4 on the season and 4-4 in conference play. Anderson was yet again a focal point in the offense, putting up 30 points to go along with seven rebounds and four assists.

Junior forward Kelby Kramer had a great night for the Mavs as well, putting up 14 points and

a team leading nine rebounds to go along with three blocks.

MSU was impressive shooting the ball against CSP, where they shot 53 percent from the field and 60 percent from three point

range.

The Golden Bears were led

by Elijah Ormiston, who totaled 27 points on the night on 12-19 shooting to go along with nine rebounds.

Mavs drop a 11-game winning streak, lose three straight

By KOLE BUELOW Sports Editor

The Minnesota State women’s basketball team was on a roll after starting out the season 11-0, until most recently where the team has hit a wall, dropping their last three games. It was an impressive start for the Mavs, which has come to an end after losing games to Concordia-St. Paul, Minnesota Duluth, and St. Cloud State opening up 2022.

The team entered winter break undefeated and extended that streak with wins over Wayne State, Sioux Falls, and Southwest Minnesota State.

A 63-52 win over Wayne State helped propel the Mavs to 9-0 on the season and 5-0 in the NSIC at the time. MSU’s Taylor Theusch and Maddy Olson combined for 30 points in the win over the Wildcats while WSU’s Kylie Hammer generated nearly half of Wayne State’s offense scoring 25 points.

The Mavericks then travelled

back home to face off against Sioux Falls, winning that contest 73-64. Joey Batt got back on track against the Cougars, scoring a team-high 16 points to go along with an impressive five steals. The Cougars were amazing from the line in this one, making 17 of 20 free throws but it was not enough to go home victorious.

The Mavs then drew SMSU for their final game of 2021, defeating the Mustangs by a score of 96-74. Both teams had a duo of starting players combine for 32 points in the outing, the Mavs coming from Olsen and Batt, and the Mustangs coming from Abuk Akoi and Sadie Stelter. MSU’s depth came to be more crucial in the win, with Destinee Bursch and Emily Russo scoring 20 and 17 points respectively.

The Mavericks closed out their 2021 campaign and started their 2022 debut off against CSP. The Mavs were not able to hold on in the fourth, los-

ing their lead and taking their first loss of the season from the Golden Bears by a score of 8385. The Golden Bears rallied behind only six scorers in the win, each of whom reached double digits.

MSU then got to face Duluth in one of the biggest NSIC

matchups of the season so far.

The Mavericks came out horribly slow, only scoring four points in the first quarter before erupting for 26 points in the second to take a lead into half time.

The Mavs could not hold on, however, dropping the final two quarters of play in the hands of

the Bulldogs to receive their second loss of the season 61-52.

In their final game before the start of the new semester, the Mavericks got a chance to play yet another top opponent in the NSIC, the St. Cloud State Huskies. Unfortunately for the Mavs, they were in for yet another disappointing ending.

The two teams started off the first quarter strong, but MSU struggled to find buckets in the second to go into half behind 24-29. MSU could not revive their offense enough to catch up to St. Cloud State, despite out scoring the Huskies 18-14 in the third quarter.

SCSU dominated the fourth which helped propel the team to an impressive 66-52 win over the Mavericks.

The Mavs fell to 11-3 overall and 7-3 in NSIC play with the loss to the Huskies and are now set to play Bemidji State on Jan. 13 in hopes of turning around their three-game losing streak.

MINNEAPOLIS MIRACLE: VIKINGS FIRE ZIMMER

By DAVE CAMPBELL Associated Press

The Minnesota Vikings have started fresh with a search for replacements for general manager Rick Spielman and coach Mike Zimmer after a second straight absence from the playoffs for a 61-year-old franchise still seeking its first title.

The dual firings came one day after the 45th anniversary of Minnesota’s last Super Bowl appearance, after owners Zygi Wilf and Mark Wilf met with each of the top two leaders before addressing the players at team headquarters.

“We strongly believe we need new leadership to elevate our football team. Our goal is to consistently contend and win championships,” Mark Wilf said on a virtual news conference. “There’s not just one person that’s responsible. We’re clearly disappointed in the football results this year, and over the course of the past few weeks this is something we’ve been thinking and deliberating quite a bit on.”

Zimmer went 72-56-1 in eight seasons, the third-best winning percentage in team history, plus 2-3 in the postseason. The Vikings went 15-18 over the last two years. They won the NFC North in 2015 and 2017, but in the end the state of the division

was the same as at the beginning of the Zimmer era — with rival Green Bay in firm control.

Zimmer went 7-8-1 against the Packers and found as much success against three-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers as anyone, but the overall deterioration of the once-dominant defense he

built soon after his arrival was a big part of what led to his dismissal. The Vikings gave up a league-most 146 points in the final 2 minutes of either half or overtime.

The 65-year-old Zimmer had the seventh-longest tenure among head coaches in the NFL

this season, with the 25 others in the league all hired within the last five years. The six peers ahead of him on the seniority list have all won a Super Bowl: Bill Belichick, Sean Payton, Mike Tomlin, John Harbaugh, Pete Carroll and Andy Reid.

“As an older guy, I don’t

know how much longer I’m going to play. I’m excited that we’re not far away, and if we get the right people in here we could potentially take it to the next level,” said wide receiver Adam Thielen.

The Wilfs have overseen the firing of four head coaches in 17 seasons owning the club, but Zimmer finished with the third-longest tenure in Vikings history behind Bud Grant and Dennis Green. Spielman and Zimmer were both given contract extensions in 2020.

Since Spielman was hired as vice president of player personnel in 2006, the only other NFC teams that haven’t made it to a Super Bowl are Dallas, Detroit and Washington. Twelve different teams have won the conference in those 16 years, the last 10 of which Spielman had full authority over the roster as the general manager.

“It is not common in the NFL to be in a position for this long, which goes to show how this ownership group believes in stability and supports their leaders,” Spielman said in a statement distributed by the Vikings.

Spielman was responsible for firing Leslie Frazier after the 2013 season and replacing him with Zimmer, who made his name as a clever and demanding defensive coordinator for Dallas ZIMMER on page 14

CFP talks stall in hopes of pre-2026 expansion

By RALPH RUSSO Associated Press

College Football Playoff expansion talks remain stalled and the possibility of implementing a new format by the 2024 season dimmed Monday after three days of meetings failed to produce an agreement.

“We have entrenched issues that are no closer to be resolved, “ Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said.

While Bowlsby said it looked increasingly unlikely that an expanded playoff would come before the end of the current CFP contract that expires in 2026, it was not ruled out altogether.

“We’re going into overtime,” Executive Director Bill Hancock said, hours before No. 1 Alabama and No. 3 Georgia played for the College Football Playoff national championship.

Everybody involved supports expansion, but they are hung up on the how and when.

Hancock said the management committee, comprised of 10 conference commissioners and Notre Dame’s athletic director, are still stuck on the same lingering issues: Whether conferences should have automatic qualification into an expanded field, and which ones; how bowls will be used as sites in a new system; and athlete health and welfare issues related to more games.

Mississippi State President Mark Keenum, who heads the Board of Managers that has final say over the College Football Playoff, said he remains optimistic an agreement can be reached in time to add playoff spots by 2024.

“I think we’ll get there,” Keenum said.

A proposal for a 12-team playoff has been on the table since June. That proposal calls for the six highest ranked conference champions, regardless of conference, to be in the playoff field along with the next six highest ranked teams.

There was hope initially an agreement could be reached soon enough to have it implemented for the 2024 season, two years before the current CFP contract with ESPN expires.

“I think it was received favorably. Since then we’ve spent time on it, some don’t like it now,” Bowlsby said.

Timberwolves win as KAT drops 40

By ASSOCIATED PRESS Karl-Anthony Towns scored a season-high 40 points, D’Angelo Russell added 22 points and 10 assists and the Minnesota Timberwolves won their fourth straight game, beating the Houston Rockets 141-123 on Sunday night.

Towns scored 22 points in the first half as Minnesota built a 75-54 lead at the break.

“Just came in feeling very aggressive,” Towns said. “I wanted to be aggressive tonight. …

I’ve been trying to figure out the rhythm again after coming back from COVID, so just being aggressive. It felt like it was going to be a good night. I just tried to utilize that energy to the best of my advantage.”

He finished 15 of 25 from the floor and added nine rebounds and seven assists.

“They didn’t really have a matchup for him out there,” Minnesota coach Chris Finch said. “He was really definitive in everything he was trying to do.

He played strong, quick, nice and clean. He’s still trying to play himself back into rhythm, and that’s one of the keys is to keep everything simple.”

Jarred Vanderbilt had career-highs of 21 points and 19

rebounds, Anthony Edwards had 19 points and six assists, and Malik Beasley scored 13 points for Minnesota.

The Timberwolves shot 51%, including 56% in the first half, and were 15 for 42 on 3-pointers.

Minnesota, which scored a season high in points, scored 74 points in the paint and 31 fastbreak points.

“I think we are trusting each other a little more,” Russell said of the offense. “When we trust each other, I feel like we can get our rhythm throughout the game without even having to really work for it. We have guys on our team that force teams to really lock in on them defensively.”

Christian Wood finished with 22 points and eight rebounds, Josh Christopher scored 19 points and Garrison Matthews had 14 points off the bench for Houston, which lost for the 10th time in 11 games.

“It wasn’t a great effort, especially running back into transition,” Houston coach Stephen Silas said of the team’s defense.

“A lot of that had to do with our offense – shot selection, turnovers, getting in and getting a layup or missing a layup and the other guys not supporting

each other. Part of it was effort, it was a lack of cohesiveness tonight.”

Eric Gordon scored 13 points, and Kenyon Martin Jr. had 13 points and seven rebounds for the Rockets, who shot 47% and were 14 for 43 on 3-pointers.

“When you look at the score and the fact that we gave up 30 each quarter, that’s certainly disappointing,” Silas said. “We have to continue to hammer home, continue to teach, con-

tinue to grow all these kids and grow the whole group to make sure that our future is bright. It definitely is, but sometimes to get to the brightness, you have to go through the darkness.”

Leading 52-42 midway through the second quarter, the Timberwolves used a 23-8 run to push the lead to 25 points on two free throws by Towns with 1 ½ minutes remaining in the first half. Russell had nine points in the run.

“We’re clearly disappointed in the football results this year...”

ZIMMER from page 13 and Cincinnati before finally getting his chance to run a team in Minnesota.

The 2017 team was the apex for the Spielman-Zimmer regime, when quarterback Case Keenum produced a career season and the defense led the league in fewest yards and points allowed.

The first crack in the foundation became clear in the NFC championship game, a 38-7 loss at Philadelphia one week after the “Minneapolis Miracle.”

After Keenum’s 61-yard touchdown pass to Stefon Diggs as time expired beat New Orleans 

in the divisional round, the Eagles were the ones who made it to the Super Bowl in Minnesota.

Zimmer refused to cede the defensive play calling and, as Rodgers and other opponents will attest, remained one of the game’s best strategists. His straightforward and hard-nosed approach won the respect of most of his best players on defense, but his style cut both ways.

Zimmer was never sold on Keenum and never meshed with current quarterback Kirk Cousins. He publicly second-guessed the offense several times, including just last week when he

said after the Vikings were eliminated by a loss to the Packers that offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak should have called more running plays. Kubiak was the sixth offensive coordinator in the last six seasons.

After Blair Walsh missed a 27-yard field goal in the 2015 playoffs that would have given the Vikings a victory over Seattle, Zimmer became especially hard on kickers, too.

In 2018, the Vikings drafted kicker Daniel Carlson in the fifth round. In his second NFL game, he missed all three field goals at Green Bay, including two in overtime in a 29-29 tie. The Vi-

kings impulsively released him the next day. When asked for an explanation, Zimmer said, “Did you see the game?”

Carlson missed just three field goals for Las Vegas this season. He sent the Raiders to the playoffs on Sunday by going 5 for 5 with the 47-yard overtime winner.

“I love coach Zim,” linebacker Anthony Barr said. “I know he’s catching a lot of heat, but players play the game, too.

I think you can point the finger at us as much as you can point it at him. Somebody’s got to be the fall guy, I guess.”

Wild win in shootout over Caps

By BRIAN HALL

MSU Reporter • 15

Hoosiers have five score double digits versus Gophers

Associated Press

Kevin Fiala and Frederick Gaudreau scored in the shootout as the short-handed Minnesota Wild took advantage of a Washington Capitals own-goal in a 3-2 win on Saturday night.

Kaapo Kahkonen made 29 saves and stopped two attempts in the shootout for Minnesota, which put the game into overtime with a goal from Mats Zuccarello with 34.7 seconds left in regulation.

The Wild wouldn’t have been in position if the Capitals didn’t put the puck in their own net. Playing out a delayed penalty, Washington forward Carl Hagelin had a pass go between two teammates and slide all the way into the empty net on the other side of the ice with goalie Zach Fucale on the bench.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen one live for sure,” Minnesota coach Dean Evason said of the own goal. “But we needed that goal at that time, right? We were reeling a little bit. They were coming. We needed some kind of a break. And, we were fortunate to have got it and really helped our mental psyche.”

Marcus Foligno was given credit for the Wild goal after being the last Minnesota player to touch the puck before Hagelin’s missed pass. The Wild were down nine regular starters due to COVID-19 and injuries.

“The lineup is the lineup,” Foligno said. “You can’t make excuses. Everyone is buying in and it was nice to get rewarded. And after (the own goal), I thought we really picked it up

a little bit and got our legs going.”

Fucale made 21 saves for the Capitals and set an NHL record for the longest shutout streak to open a career at 138 minutes, 7 seconds. Zuccarello snapped the streak.

“I thought we played well tonight,” Washington coach Peter Laviolette said. “It’s disappointing on the results. You talk about the first goal and then they tie it up at the end and win in a shootout. So, it leaves you with a really lousy taste in your mouth. But I thought the guys put up a pretty good effort.”

Connor McMichael and Evgeny Kuznetsov scored for the Capitals before the miscue put Minnesota on the board.

Fucale, a second-round draft pick in 2013 by Montreal, earned his second career start after relieving No. 1 netminder

Ilya Samsonov in the 5-1 loss at St. Louis a night earlier. Samsonov had allowed four goals on 16 shots and Fucale stopped all seven shots he faced in his second career game.

He opened his career with a 21-save shutout at Detriot on Nov. 11.

Fucale stopped nine shots in an even first period between the teams and then set the NHL record for shutout streak to open his career three minutes into the second. Fucale surpassed Minnesota’s Matt Hackett, who held the previous record at 102:48 in 2011.

“They just told me about that,” Fucale said after the game of getting the record.

“That’s incredible. I did not know that. That’s wild, wild stuff. It’s good, quality night, but I’m mad at myself at (Zuccarello’s goal). To me, that’s a tough goal to give.

By ASSOCIATED PRESS Trayce Jackson-Davis had 13 points and 12 rebounds and Indiana beat Minnesota 73-60 on Sunday.

With a Minnesota defense concentrating on Jackson-Davis, who averages just under 20 points a game, the Hoosiers responded with five players scoring in double figures including Xavier Johnson with 14 points, Rob Phinisee 13, Parker Stewart 12 and Race Thompson 10.

Still, Jackson-Davis posted his sixth double-double this season and the 27th of his career.

Jamison Battle scored 19 points, Payton Willis 18 and E.J. Stephens 12 for the Gophers.

Indiana (12-3, 3-2), coming off a home win over No.

13 Ohio State, is now 11-0 in Assembly Hall this season.

The Hoosiers have won four straight over the Gophers (103, 1-3).

Trailing by 10 at halftime, Willis and Battle scored all the Gophers’ points in an 18-7 run to open the second half and briefly take a one-point lead.

But Miller Kopp hit a 3-pointer and Indiana attacked inside in a 17-5 run with six points from Thompson for a 65-54 lead with four minutes remaining. The Gophers didn’t get closer than nine after that.

With the Gophers sagging inside on Jackson-Davis in the first half when he scored just four points, Indiana was able to take advantage from the perimeter with Phinisee.

Chloe Bibby leads Maryland over Gophers

By ASSOCIATED PRESS Chloe Bibby scored 23 points to lead a balanced offense and help No. 10 Maryland beat Minnesota 87-73 on Sunday.

Angel Reese added 19 points and 10 rebounds for Maryland (12-4, 4-1 in the Big Ten), while Ashley Owusu chipped in 15 points, six rebounds and eight assists with no turnovers. Diamond Miller had 12 points and six assists.

Deja Winters led Minnesota (8-8, 1-3) with 20 points on 6-for-12 shooting from beyond the 3-point line. Sara Scalia scored 19 points, Kadi Sissoko had 15 points and Alanna Micheaux grabbed 12 rebounds.

The Terrapins used their pressure defense and transition game to take control in the second half.

“I thought (Owusu) did a tremendous job being a floor general,” Bibby said. “We always feel good when the ball’s in her hands. She’s going to make a great decision either way. We were just trying to have energy and effort. We wanted our defense to create offense and I think at times we did in our transition, and that’s what really got us going.”

Maryland led by double digits early but the Gophers, playing their first home game in nearly a month, made it a game.

CRAIG LASSIG • Associated Press

Minnesota guard Sara Scalia (14) drives past Maryland guard Angel Reese during the first half an NCAA college basketball game.

Winters’ sixth 3-pointer pulled Minnesota to within a point at 49-48 midway through the third quarter.

But in a pivotal stretch, the Gophers committed three quick turnovers and Maryland made it count.

A transition layup by Miller

and a jumper by Owusu quickly helped stretch the lead back to nine, and Minnesota didn’t get closer than five points the rest of the way.

“I’m proud of the way our team battled. We responded and answered every run they made,” Minnesota assistant coach Car-

ly Thibault-DuDonis said. “We just had a couple turnovers, a couple offensive rebounds here and there that kind of put it over the edge for them.”

The Terrapins set the tone from the start, pushing the ball down the floor and forcing Minnesota to scramble into transi-

tion defense. But the short-handed Gophers, who were missing point guard Jasmine Powell due to a family matter, kept it close in a fast-paced first half.

Miller carried much of the early scoring burden for Maryland. She made her first two 3-pointers and went 4-for-4 from the floor for 10 points as Maryland led 24-14 after the first quarter.

The Gophers were held scoreless for a five-minute stretch that spanned the first two quarters, but they broke out of it in a big way, thanks to Winters.

The 5-11 senior, a graduate transfer from North Carolina A&T, hit four straight 3-pointers in a 2 1/2-minute span. The fourth cut Maryland’s lead to 29-26 midway through the second quarter.

Owusu answered for the Terrapins with consecutive 3-pointers, but Scalia later made two straight buckets for Minnesota to cut lead to 36-34.

Bibby then took over, converting a three-point play after a ball fake and driving layup and adding a basket in transition to help Maryland to a five-point halftime lead.

“I thought our defense helped us go to our offense, being able to force and get a lot of points from turnovers against them,” Maryland coach Brenda Frese said.

The MSU Theatre’s show goes on

By EMMA JOHNSON Variety Editor

The curtains are rising on a new semester at Minnesota State University, Mankato and with it comes a new lineup of shows from the school’s theater department. With some shows including “Tartuffe”, “12 Angry Jurors” and “The Sound of Music”, dazzling performances are sure to grace the stage.

The overall energy coming into this semester has been upbeat as both students and faculty are returning to campus.

Director Matthew Caron is excited to be back in the theater to start planning the spring musical, even with the precautions surrounding COVID-19.

“There’s a little caution as everyone is nervous [about the pandemic], but we need to move forward the best we can with the information that we’ve been given and the safety precautions we have,” said Caron.

“We love our program and theater, and in order to do theater, we need a live audience, so we are just moving forward as safely as possible.”

With the ongoing pandemic, everything is being done to ensure the safety of both cast and crew in the theater department.

Director of Public Relations of Theater and Dance department Corrie Eggimann noted that the theater is taking the same precautions as the rest of the University.

“If students choose to perform without a mask, they either need to prove that they are vaccinated or they must

take weekly Covid tests,” said Eggimann. “For the performances, patrons are required to be masked the entire time in the theater.”

Despite the return of the arts, the surge of the Omicron

variant is still at large. Drawing from the crises that arose during the 2020-2021 school year, the theater department feels better equipped this year to handle these situations. Each director has contingency plans in case a

cast member comes down with COVID-19.

Serendipity Series headlined by artist Heatbox

By LILLY SCHMIDT Staff Writer

The Minnesota State University, Mankato Serendipity Music Series is kicking off the new year with Heatbox, a beatboxing loop artist, singer and video game show host. The artist describes his music as sounding like a funky a-cappella group in outer space.

Aaron “Heatbox” Heaton has been surrounded by musical influence since he was young.

He started singing in choir in fifth grade and played the tuba in the school band. Along the way, he dabbled in garage band drumming. Now, Heatbox considers himself to be pretty good at the tuba as well as other instruments.

player, and a medium-bad guitar player. I’m kind of a jack-ofall-trades,” Heaton commented.

According to MJG Productions, Heatbox’s discography includes two full-length studio

albums, “Entertainment” and “System”. Included on “System” was the video game “Ninja Strike”, designed and programmed entirely by Heatbox himself. Following the “System” release in 2009, he co-produced two original music videos for the songs “Pizza Funk” and “Jack and Coke” alongside Boston video producer Spookie Daly.

Following a long break due to the COVID pandemic, Heatbox is excited to share his music in-person again.

“I’m really proud of how long I’ve been performing.

When I do really well on stage, that’s my favorite thing ever,” shared Heaton. “I’ve been doing it professionally and haven’t had another job for about 17 years. Just getting to do that and not having to go to another job CONCERT on page 19 

This semester, Minnesota State University, Mankato is bringing back the MavFlix program, an exclusive online streaming experience for MSU students, staff and faculty, both on and off campus that is facilitated by the Student Events Team.

“We will be offering students the ability to watch four newly released movies you can’t see anywhere else, anywhere and anytime,” said Bill Tourville, Assistant Director of Student Events Team.

MavFlix is a completely free program, simply requiring a StarID and password to access. To access the MavFlix movies students need to simply visit StomperCinema.com and sign on. After starting a movie, students will have 24 hours to finish it.

There will always be three to four movies available, running Monday through Sunday and cycling out every week.

“There might be a couple of hold overs if we see some movies that are getting a lot of watches,” mentioned Tourville.

“This is just a really exciting thing that students can do whenever they want and particularly right now with rising COVID cases.

It’s a nice way to stay close knit and not have to get together in large groups for movie showings.”

Despite this new streaming service, Stomper Cinema will still be hosting in-person movie screenings in Ostrander Auditorium. These screenings will be available based upon the availability of some of the highly anticipated movies, as opposed to every week like they were previously. The movies played in the auditorium will then hopefully be put on the MavFlix platform a week or two after they are shown in person as well.

“I used it last year to watch The King of Staten Island. It was a great way to watch a new movie with friends without going out,” said MNSU junior John Shea. “I appreciate Student Events Team adapting to the ever-changing COVID enviMOVIES on page 19 

‘Spider-Man’ stays at No. 1 in fourth weekend in a row

The Golden Globe statuettes are seen during a news conference at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.

By LINDSEY BAHR Associated Press

The Golden Globe Awards, Hollywood’s so-called biggest party that regularly drew 18 million television viewers, was reduced to a live-blog Sunday night for its 79th edition.

The embattled Hollywood Foreign Press Association proceeded with its film awards Sunday night without nominees, a red carpet, a host, or even a livestream. Instead, members of the HFPA and some recipients of the group’s philanthropic grants gathered at the Beverly Hilton Hotel for a 90-minute private event, announcing the names of the film and television winners on the organization’s social media feeds.

Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” won several big awards, for best picture comedy or musical, best actress for Rachel Zegler and best supporting actess for Ariana DeBose.

Netflix’s gothic Western “The Power of the Dog” was named best picture drama, along with other honors for Jane Campion’s direction and Kodi Smit-McPhee’s supporting performance.

Other film winners included Will Smith for “King Richard,” Nicole Kidman for “Being the Ricardos” and Andrew Garfield for “tick, tick...BOOM!” The Japanese film “Drive My Car,” also a critics’ group darling, got best non-English language motion picture, while “Encanto” won for animation.

Though announcing winners on social media might seem like a straightforward task, those following along on Twitter might have been somewhat confused at times.

The tweets often left out exactly which project a person had won for.

To announce the winner for best actor, motion picture musical or comedy, the organization tweeted, “It takes 43 muscles

to smile. Thanks for the workout Andrew Garfield and congratulations for taking home the #GoldenGlobe for Best Actor—Motion Picture—Musical/Comedy,” failing to mention that the award was for his turn in “tick, tick...BOOM!” Other times, the tweets were just downright baffling. In announcing the “West Side Story” win, the group initially wrote, “If laughter is the best medicine @WestSideMovie is the cure for what ails you” about the drama that’s full of death and tragedy.

They later deleted the tweet and wrote a new one about “music” being the best medicine.

TV winners included Sarah Snook and Jeremy Strong for “Succession,” which won best TV drama, Jean Smart for “Hacks,” Jason Sudeikis for “Ted Lasso,” Kate Winslet for “Mare of Easttown,” O Yeong-su for “Squid Game” and Michael Keaton for “Dopesick.”

The glamorous spies of “The 355” were no competition for the movie theater’s reigning webslinger.

Spider-Man’s box office dominance continued in its fourth weekend in theaters, adding another $33 million, according to studio estimates on Sunday. With $668.8 million in North American ticket sales to date, “Spider-Man: No Way Home” is now the sixth highest grossing release of all time domestically. Globally, with $1.5 billion and counting, it ranks in eighth place.

The only major new film this weekend was Universal’s “The 355,” an original spy thriller starring Jessica Chastain, Lupita Nyong’o, Di-

ane Kruger and Penelope Cruz, which debuted in third place with $4.8 million. Directed by Simon Kingberg, reviews for the film about a global coalition of female spies have been less than stellar: It holds a 27% on Rotten Tomatoes.

With omicron cases surging, Hollywood has entered 2022 cautiously. January’s biggest new release, the Spider-Man spinoff “Morbius,” was recently pushed to April.

And while January is now destined to be quiet at the box office, Dergarabedian said that Spider-Man has been a “beacon of hope” for the industry.

“It shows that audiences want to go back to the movie theater,” he said. “We could end up having a really strong box office year, but only time will tell.”

Duchess of Cambridge turns 40

MSU Reporter • 19 THEATRE from page 17 the theater. With recognizable music and memories connected to the show spanning through generations, it’s certain to draw in a crowd.

“The last two years have not only been hard on the overall arts, but for our program as well. We’re hoping the name recognition of “The Sound of Music” will get people excited and bring people back to the theater,” said Caron. “There’s a lot of familiarity that I think will tap into people’s sense of nostalgia that will make them glad that they came back to the

theater.”

The anxieties of COVID-19 isn’t hindering the theater department as they don’t want to leave MSU or the community left waiting in the wings. “‘The Sound of Music’ is going to be a fun celebration to show how the students have persisted through the pandemic,” said Eggimann.

“I want the community to feel welcome and to experience that shared storytelling between the audience and cast. I hope that people remember the magic of the theater when they return,” said Caron.

CONCERT from page 17 is probably what I’d consider my biggest accomplishment.

I’ve just been really lucky, honestly.”

Behind the scenes, in addition to his music, Heatbox’s other projects include creating and producing a video game show that raises money for charity.

According to MJG Productions, Heatbox is a one-man-entertainment-system, known for his innovative live performance and uniquely diverse set of creative gifts.

“If you want to see me do some free-styling, I usually end up doing some mediocre-bad,

mediocre-flowing, and that’s a good time,” Heaton explained.

“A lot of the time we call people up from the audience too, so it becomes a little chaotic and we find out what happens.”

He encourages anyone and everyone to come to the concert.

“Come see something weird. I bet what I’m gonna do with a microphone, especially with an audience, you might not have seen before, so come give it a try.”

Heatbox will be performing Wednesday, Jan. 12 in the Centennial Student Union Hearth Lounge from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The Duchess of Cambridge, who turns 40 on Sunday Jan. 9, 2022, has emerged as Britain’s reliable royal. Kate is a royal by choice, not birth.

By DANICA KIRKA At least there’s Kate.

The Duchess of Cambridge, who turns 40 on Sunday, has emerged as Britain’s reliable royal.

After Prince Harry and Meghan’s stormy departure to California in 2020, the death of Prince Philip last year, and now sex abuse allegations against Prince Andrew, the former Kate Middleton remains in the public eye as the smiling mother of three who can comfort grieving parents at a children’s hospice or wow the nation by playing piano during a televised Christmas concert.

“This is the woman who was the commoner who married into the royal family and who has not tripped up, not caused any embarrassment,’’ Katie Nicholl, author of “Kate: The Future Queen.” “It’s not been an easy year, and yet somehow Kate seems to be a bit of a beacon in all of this.’’

At a moment when the House of Windsor is facing more than its share of controversy, Prince William’s spouse has won accolades for her commitment to early education, art and music.

The charities she supports gush about her willingness to get personally involved in their causes.

Olivia Marks-Woldman was touched by the care Kate put into photographing Holocaust survivors Steven Frank and Yvonne Bernstein for an exhi-

bition sponsored by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust.

Before the shoot, the duchess spent time learning her subjects’ stories and used the knowledge to compose the photos, said Marks-Woldman, the trust’s CEO. “It was a really involved, thoughtful participation,’’ she recalled. “But even after those photographs had been taken, the duchess supported the project and supported Steven and Yvonne and took an interest in them and sent them Christmas cards, invited them to the carol service in Westminster Abbey recently and has just been wonderful.”

Tracy Rennie, deputy chief executive of East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices, has a similar account from the day Kate visited one of the organization’s facilities in 2019. The duchess agreed to talk with the parents and other relatives of a child who had recently died because they wanted to meet her, even though their pain was still raw.

“It was a really supportive conversation actually, to the point we were having a laugh and a joke together as a family before we left — you wouldn’t imagine that in such a difficult situation,” Rennie said. “They absolutely felt honored that she’d taken the time out and were overwhelmed by the fact that she was a ‘normal person’ — their words, not mine. They felt she really cared.”

Kate is a royal by choice, not birth.

The daughter of a flight at-

tendant and a flight dispatcher, Catherine Elizabeth Middleton was born in Reading, England, on Jan. 9, 1982, and grew up with a younger sister, Pippa, and a younger brother, James.

The Middletons, from a well-to-do area of Berkshire, west of London, moved to Jordan when Kate was 2 years old because of her father’s work.

They returned to England in 1986, and Kate attended the exclusive Marlborough College, where she was active in sports including hockey, tennis and netball.

It was at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland that Kate first met Prince William, the elder son of the late Princess Diana and second in line to inherit the British throne after his father, Prince Charles.

First friends and then housemates along with two other students, William and Kate became romantically linked around 2004, when they were pictured together on a skiing trip in Switzerland.

Kate graduated in 2005 with a degree in art history and a budding relationship with the prince.

William complained about press intrusion, and Kate’s lawyers asked newspaper editors to leave her alone. Even so, the British media followed every twist in their relationship, including a brief split in 2007.

William later acknowledged that the couple’s romance wobbled for several months, saying they were both young and trying to find their way.

MOVIES from page 17 ronment.”

The MavFlix program will be running weekly until spring break, at which point the Student Events Team will be assessing the use of the streaming service and deciding whether or not to continue it.

“We had pretty good re-

sponses when we streamed movies for the week last semester, but it was always only one title, and we found that that’s just not enough to make this a maintainable thing,” commented Tourville.

As the semester goes on and more movies come out, the Student Events Team is hoping to

access more popular titles for the streaming site.

This week, MavFlix is streaming “RESPECT”, “No Time To Die”, “Addam’s Family 2” and “Halloween Kills”.

MavFlix is available to watch anywhere, anytime, on any device.
