As a result, many transgender and gender nonconforming people tend to have anxiety or fear entering gendered bathrooms. Advocates for Youth’s Amplify Your Voice website states that Dean Spade, a transgender activist and lawyer, was arrested in Grand Central Station’s men’s room because police thought he was in the wrong place. Spade helped in the making of “Toilet Training.” In 2003, Tara Mateik and the Sylvia Rivera Law Project made the documentary to show the prevalence of harassment, discrimination and violence people who contravene gender norms in gender segregated bathrooms, according to the Sylvia Rivera Law Project’s website. In a guide to the documentary, Spade says, “We should all be treated on an equal basis with other people who share our gender identity. No one should be forced to use a facility that does
not match their gender identity.” On Safe Bathrooms for All’s Facebook event page, it says that many transgender and gender nonconforming students undergo health complications because of waiting long periods of time to go to the bathroom. On the Facebook event page, it states that the event will be an opportune time to ask questions and learn why more gender-neutral bathrooms are important for MSU. Other campuses around the United States are moving forward with more accessible bathrooms for many communities. According to the Transgender Law and Policy Institute, more than 150 campuses nationwide have gender-neutral bathrooms. Some campuses completely renovate bathrooms or change the signs on single-stall male/female restrooms, according to TLPL. TLPL goes on to say that a variety of institutions implemented
policies that require at least one gender-neutral bathroom in all newly renovated buildings. Safe Bathrooms for All hopes to create a dialogue on how to make Minnesota State University, Mankato bathrooms more accessible for transgender and gender nonconforming students. Gender-neutral bathrooms benefit more than the LGBT community, according to Christ. “It has benefits to multiple groups including people with disabilities or chronic illnesses, parents or caregivers accompanying people of different genders, and people who need a private space for a variety of reasons,” Christ said. Gender Blur is an education advocacy group a part of the LGBT Center for transgender and gender nonconforming students to learn leadership skills and engage in transgender activism on campus.

Financial aid insight inspires confidence
Student Financial Services provide help sessions for FAFSA MEGAN KADLEC
news editor
Midterms are fast approaching and students are looking forward to Spring Break. Before these students can ditch the classroom for the beach, there is one simple thing they have to complete: the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, most commonly known as the FAFSA. For many students at Minnesota State University, Mankato, the FAFSA can be a difficult application to complete, especially without parental or professional guidance. For students who need help filling out the FAFSA, Student Financial Services are aiding students in this process by holding FAFSA Help Sessions. “Students that came had some questions about how to fill our particular portions of the FAFSA,” said Assistant Director of Financial Aid Susan Romsa. “Sometimes they’re a little bit insecure about the way the questions are asked so we help them as part of our services.” One of the biggest problems students have when they arrive at the help sessions is that they do not have to information necessary to filling out the FAFSA entirely. “Some of the common
questions are some of the income questions, what they need to include as income, how many people to are in their families and who those people are,” Romsa said. This may seem like a silly question to some students, but for example, if a student has a sister in graduate school, they are unable to include that sister when the FAFSA asks how many individuals in the family are attending college. Thus, students are encouraged to bring their social security and driver’s license numbers as well as last year’s tax information for both the student and their parents. Information on savings, investments and business and farm assets for students and their parents is also required for FAFSA completion. Romsa said that many students do not know that they need their parent’s tax information or a pin number to complete the FAFSA. She went on to say that this is the reason they are holding multiple sessions. “Some students come to the sessions and don’t have what they need so that’s why we have a variety of them so they can come back,” Romsa said. “Sometimes they have to make phone calls to their parents for information.” Both the students and
parents need to have a pin number, and this identification number carries over from year to year. Changes to the FAFSA include the delivery method of receiving a duplicate PIN for those who may have forgotten or misplaced their old numbers. Instead of receiving a duplicate PIN by email within a few days, the PIN is now transmitted automatically. If all information is compiled beforehand, the FAFSA takes an average of 23 minutes, according to the Federal Government. This year, staff members at Student Financial Services and the Department of Education are encouraging students to use IRS Data Retrieval, which is a program that allows students to access their tax documents through the IRS website which will then automatically fill out your income information on the FAFSA. While the feature was available last year, this is the first year university officials are encouraging its use. Students are encouraged to complete the FAFSA before the middle of March in order to receive the best financial aid packages possible, including work-study eligibility. “It’s best for us to have the student do the FAFSA

before March 15 to get the best aid they can get,” Romsa said. “Of course financial aid is based on family income, so just because you do it early doesn’t mean you will get some of the aid.” Students who are completing the FAFSA at home can receive assistance by calling a toll-free helpline on the FAFSA website. According to Romsa, the students who attend the sessions will gain confidence that their FAFSA is com-
pleted correctly. The sessions are free for all students, and there is no preregistration required. The sessions run throughout the next two weeks and the week following Spring Break as well. Sessions will be held Feb. 21, March 1 and 14 from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. as well as Feb. 20, 29 and March 13 from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. All sessions will be held in the Academic Computer Center.

Lecture series remembers Dakota conflict
MEGAN KADLEC
news editor On December 26, 1862, the execution of 38 Sioux took place in Mankato after the Dakota Conflict. This is the largest mass execution in United States history and if you ask many native Mankato residents, an important part of the history in the region. In order to acknowledge the 150th anniversary of this execution, Minnesota State University, Mankato is organizing a six-session lecture series about the conflict. The series, “Perspectives ‘Through Their Own Eyes,’” will provide three lectures during the remainder of this semester as well as three lectures during the fall. The first lecture will be held 4 p.m. Tuesday in the Centennial Student Union ballroom. Speaking at the first session is Mass Media Professor Chuck Lewis whose discussion is titled, “Removing the Winnebago: A Tale of Frontier Journalism.” Lewis received both his Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communications and Master’s degree in History from MSU before becoming a full-time professor in the department. Lewis graduated from the University of Minnesota with a Ph.D. Lewis, a former newspaper reporter and professional photographer, Lewis teaches introductory mass media courses at the University, focusing on history, ethics and visual imaging. The next lecture will be held on March 13.

PAN AFRICAN “The conference hopes to bring together national and international delegates who represent the Diaspora of African peoples.” continued from 1 concerns in the Pan African community. Lieutenant Lee Edwards from the Minneapolis Police Department will chair this panel. Mary Whitney, a distinguished African American speaker, will provide a keynote address on domestic violence and abuse. Mahmoud El-Kati, professor emeritus at Macalaster College will provide the opening address for Thursday’s noon session. Fagin credits El-Katio as his inspiration for developing the conference. The conference’s main goal is to allow professionals and students alike to dicuss issues that affect African people on
a local, national and international level. Because Minnesota has such a substantial population of Sub-Saharan African immigrants, the social, cultural and economic concerns of these populations will be discussed at the conference by experts on Sub-Saharan African migration. The Twin Cities houses the largest Somali population in the nation, and the blend of cultural similarities and differences found between new African immigrants and the established African community will hopefully provide learning opportunities for those in attendance of this year’s conference, according

to Fagin. The conference also hopes to bring together national and international delegates who represent the Diaspora of African peoples. Diaspora represents “any group that has been dispersed outside its traditional homeland, especially involuntarily, as Africans during the trans-Atlantic slave trade,” according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary. Scheduled sessions include discussions about contemporary issues, racism and history as well as sessions that aim to enhance the appreciation of the culture and reducing isolation. Also included in the four-
day conference’s agenda is a national poster competition for attending students. There will also be a Mr. and Ms. Pan African talent ceremony Saturday. The ceremony allows students to showcase their leadership through talent and question and answer segments. The Pan African Student Leadership Conference was founded in 1977 after Fagin traveled to West Africa with students. According to Fagin, the conference is a “learning experience for all of our delegates to gain appreciation of the spread of African people across the world to civilizations across the globe.”

Mavericks salvage tie against defending champs on Senior Night
JOEY DENTON
staff writer
With this past weekend being the Minnesota State, Mankato men’s hockey team’s last home stand, the Mavericks worked a little late-game magic to end their home slate on a high note. Saturday on Senior Night, the Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs had a two-goal advantage with just four minutes left in regulation. With the crowd of 4,562 (the Mavericks’ biggest home crowd of the season) just about ready to head home, senior forward Michael Dorr kept them in their seats, scoring his eighth goal of the season at the 17:46 mark of the third period. Just 10 seconds later, junior forward Eli Zuck scored for the Mavericks to tie the game up at four apiece and force overtime. In overtime both teams definitely had their chances to end the game, but neither team could convert, ending the game in a 4-4 tie.
Some players took the tie differently than others, but they all agreed that it was a good momentum-building experience as the team heads down the stretch run. “It still stings a little bit because there were things in the game that we could have done better. But we will take it as a learning experience and get better,” Zuck said. Senior forward Joe Schiller conquered. “It’s one of those ties, some feel like a loss and some feel more like a win,” said Schiller, who had one assist in the contest. “One point is one point.” Sophomore Zach Lehrke scored the Mavericks first two goals of the game, and senior goalie Austin Lee ended his final home game with 38 saves. Head coach Troy Jutting saw the tie as a positive and thought the Mavericks deserved at least one point in the series. “You’ve got to give the kids
MSU splits with UMD, Bemidji St. TIGE HUTCHESON
staff writer
While a sweep would’ve been huge and being swept would’ve been disastrous, the Minnesota State, Mankato women’s basketball team (12-9 NSIC, 16-9) managed to only slide one spot in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference standings and punch its ticket to the conference tournament with a weekend split. After dropping a disappointing 65-44 decision on Friday to the suffocating defense of the Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs, the Mavericks responded quickly the following night with an 81-50 rout of the Bemidji State Beavers. On Friday, the Mavericks had a tough time finding cracks in Duluth’s defense, as the Bulldogs held the Mavericks to a seasonlow 44 points and a miserable 25 percent shooting from the field.
“[Duluth] forced a lot of turnovers and applied a lot of pressure,” said MSU head coach Pam Gohl. Similar to the first time the two teams played, MSU found itself in a double-digit hole after halftime, which proved too large to overcome. No Maverick was able to finish in double figures, as senior Laura Weber finished with team-highs in points (9) and rebounds (7). “It was a tough loss,” Gohl said. “Duluth really played physical, which we expected going in, but we just didn’t handle it very well. It was a big moment and we just fell short and while it was disappointing, it’s also not the end. We might see Duluth again this season.” While another loss on Saturday could’ve potentially sent the Mavericks freefalling in the
credit,” Jutting said. “We battled all night, and we found a way to get ourselves a couple at the end.” On Friday, the Mavericks suffered a 2-4 loss despite starting the game great defensively. After taking the first period 1-0 on sophomore forward Johnny McInnis’s eighth goal of the season, the Bulldogs tied it up on a power play goal by Travis Oleksuk at 11:04 of the second period. He eventually picked up another goal with just one second left in the period. In the final period, UMD forward David Grun extended the Bulldogs’ lead to 3-1, scoring 10:51 into the period. With 30 seconds left in regulation, the Mavericks made it interesting. Freshman forward Jean-Paul Lafontaine scored his 13th goal of the season to cut the Mavericks’ deficit to one. But there wasn’t enough time to complete the comeback, as UMD scored an empty net goal to NSIC standings, the Mavericks were able to respond quickly and regain control on Saturday night against Bemidji State, a team that had upset MSU just weeks before. “It was a nice win,” Gohl said. “We started off on the right foot and the kids were playing hard and knocking down shots. It’s amazing how much better you look when your shots are going in. We had nine three-pointers in

end the game with a 4-2 win. With a loss and tie this weekend, Jutting is happy how the players played against a WCHA regular season title contender. “I thought (this weekend) went pretty darn good. We played a really good hockey team,” coach Jutting said. “Defensively, I thought we did a good job of winning their opportunities. We
got our power play going again, which we are going to need to have going come the playoff stretch.” The Mavericks, who are 6-10 on the road this season, travel to Grand Forks, N.D. to take on the University of North Dakota this weekend, who are currently tied for fourth in the WCHA.
the first half and everybody got a chance to play.” Led by freshman Jamie Bresnahan’s team-high 15 points and eight rebounds, the Mavericks were able to ride an 18-point halftime lead to an easy win at home, running over the Beavers 81-50. Weber and Alli Hoefer each chipped in 10 points apiece, and Jennie Noreen recorded eight points and a team-high six assists.
While MSU was able to clinch a spot in the NSIC Tournament, the standings are tight and a strong finish is essential. With only one regular season game remaining against one of the conference’s worst teams (516 Southwest Minnesota State), one game could end up being the difference between a first round matchup against the University of Mary or No. 3 Wayne State.
