ASA hosts ‘A Journey to Africa’ Dinner and dance held to celebrate African culture.

ZHANNA KURBANOVA Staff Writer Established Oct. 2, 1981, the African Student Association (ASA) of Minnesota State University, Mankato is a student run organisation that connects fellow African students and promotes diverse cultures of different African regions.

Since its establishment, ASA has been hosting the African Signature Night every spring semester. African Night is the annual cultural showcase, where performers across the continent celebrate their culture through drama performances, dance, music, and fashion. A Journey to Africa 2016 will be held on Saturday, March 19.

The event will be split up into two parts: a dinner and the show. The first half will start in CSU Lower Level from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

The second half of the event will take place in CSU Ballroom from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., and will feature diverse cultural performances by students from four different regions of the African continent.

According to Charles-Emmanuel Thiemel, a board member of ASA, the show will start with drama stories, featuring different characters.

“Drama show will portray a typical African family, representing African culture and traditions,“ Thiemel said.

“African Student Association has been planning this event since last semester, so the

show is going to be humorous and educational.”

In addition, guests will be able to enjoy numerous lively and enticing dance performances, representing West Africa, East Africa, and Central Africa.

Marjorie Oguenda-Joseh explained, “East Africa will be represented by the Oromia region with dances named Shaggooyee, Shewa, and Wallaga. Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and Liberia will represent West Africa, whereas Cameroon will symbolize Central Africa.”

A Journey to Africa will cost you $8 in advance, $10 at the door, and $5 for chil-

dren 3-10 years of age. You can find presale tickets in CSU Mav Ave; see volunteers at the table. Also, if you only wish to see the show, you can get a ticket for $5.

LIZ JAVAVINO Staff Writer Saturday, March 19, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the brothers of Sigma Chi will be hosting their second annual Flapjack Feast philanthropy event.

This event is an all you can eat flapjacks, pancakes, and bacon fest. All proceeds from this event will go to the Huntsman Cancer Institute, one of the most prestigious cancer institutes in the nation.

Huntsman Cancer Institute’s website informs that “[HCI is] a National Cancer

Institute (NCI)-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, which means it meets the highest standards for cancer care and research and receives support for its scientific endeavors… [HCI is] also a member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), a not-for-profit alliance of the world’s leading cancer centers.”

Huntsman Care Institute is a part of the University of Utah Health Care; it provides healthcare and treatment to thousands of patients from Utah and neighboring

states, and trains future doctors, nurses, and scientists.

The institute’s mission is “to understand cancer from its beginnings, and to use that knowledge in the creation and improvement of cancer treatments, to relieve the suffering of cancer patients, and to provide information about cancer risk, prevention, and care.”

The institution is much more than just a hospital, but a training ground to help further prevent and battle the origins of cancer.

HCI is nestled in the beauti-

ful mountainous region of Salt Lake City, UT. The institute has been widely recognized for “the Huntsman’s difference” with gourmet food, a healing garden, and hospital rooms with enormous windows.

The founder of HCI, a cancer survivor himself, pledged to create a cancer institute that “looked different, [felt] different, and [fought] cancer in new and different ways.”

SPRING FALL 2015 2016

NICOLE SCHMIDT News Editor With spring break come and gone, the rest of the semester is bound to fly. Finals will be here before we know it, along with the stress often accompanied with it.

However, despite the collective campus sigh at the mention of finals, should we really be complaining?

This year, I can honestly say that I do not have a single final during finals week. Many teachers are opting out of giving finals during the designated week and assigning tests on the last day of regular-scheduled class.

Moreover, teachers are not giving cumulative finals it seems. Over the course of my time at MSU, I have not had a class that had only one test during the semester.

Think about it. There used to be a time when students were graded on their work for an entire semester based on a single test. A whole semester’s work and concepts were crammed into one glorious final. From there, it was up to

“Exam” (CC BY 2.0) by albertogp123 what your brain remembered and how good you were at taking tests.

Yet somehow we complain about the end of the semester when we should really be thankful for this change of test giving. Many teachers have at least three tests given throughout the semester, each pertaining to a set of chapters, making cumulative tests seem like a thing of the past.

With the little bit of give in the test-taking department, we lost a little something in the process. Compared to the days when finals were the whole ballgame, students have significantly more assignments. Participation and

Pulse

attendance points are a thing, and papers are to be expected.

Personally, I am happy that I am able to attend college during this time. Regular assignments and tests encourage more participation and learning throughout the semester and provide frequent checks, whereas a single final would leave me wondering how I was doing with my learning.

Yet I do not insist that a single final did not hold its own charm. There has to be something deeply rewarding about studying an entire semester for a single event and receiving a good grade.

Quite frankly, I can’t imag-

ine students today taking three months to devote themselves for a single test. People today want instant feedback, instant knowledge, and instant education. As society has changed and morphed, the educational system has gone with it. Is this necessarily a good thing? I’ll leave that decision to you.

So this coming finals week, before you complain about your final in a class that has had a midterm, papers, and attendance points, remember the time where there was an end-all final and count your lucky stars you live in the 21 century education system.

Counseling Center holds communication workshop Wicklund and Woodward explain strategies for effective communication.

LATISHA TOWNSEND Staff Writer On Monday, March 14, the counseling center held a workshop for effective communication that was open to all MSU students and faculty members. The speakers were clinical trainees Jessica Woodward and Kjirstyn Wicklund. Effective communication plays a large part in the strengthening of relationships.

Wicklund and Woodward gave students the drop on all of the necessary tips for managing conflict and developing positive communication skills.

“Interpersonal relationships are the most important things that make life meaningful,” quoted Wicklund.

Effective communication involves competence. There are two types of competence that were presented during the workshop: expression skills, meaning one should be able to get what they think and feel across freely. The second type is perception skills, meaning one should be open and able to listen to what others think.

When pushing for a healthy

“Communication” (CC BY-NC 2.0) by P Shanks level of communication, it is important to avoid “you” messages and instead use “I” messages. “I” messages occur when a speaker can communicate what they feel and take responsibility for it.

Whereas “you” messages are when one person is blaming the other person for things that go wrong. This is likely to come off as condescending and can make the receiver feel attacked. “Everything you do, whether it is done consciously or not, conveys something,” said Wicklund.

In other words, perception is reality.

Another valuable topic related to effective communication that was discussed in depth at the workshop was conflict. Conflict is inevitable, but in order to maintain the strength in a relationship, there are tips to help manage it.

The four main causes of conflict are criticism, illegitimate demands, cumulative annoyance and rebuff. Rebuff means to reject or snub sharply. On the subject of rebuffing Woodward said, “Don’t fight dirty. Dirty fighting is a sign of an inability to deal with the situation.” Illegitimate

demands happen when one person has high, possibly unreachable, standards of the other person. Lastly, it is common for people to let small annoyances keep building up before they actually react to them. This is called cumulative annoyances.

Unfortunately, the outcomes of conflicts aren’t always positive. According to Jessica Woodward, “Conflict can be engaged or ignored.”

Often times, conflict can lead to one person becoming submissive and another person becoming dominant. This is not grounds for creating a

healthy relationship that will progress over time. When the situation gets heavy, “Take a breather to calm down and then come back to deal with and resolve the issue,” said Kjirstyn Wicklund.

Positive solutions for dealing with conflict can end in compromise and integrative agreements. One of the most effective solutions for going about conflict resolution is structural improvement.

Structural improvement is when two people are able to step back and look at the big picture. In this situation, they ask themselves why these kinds of problem arise and they go about ways that they can fix the issue. “Sometimes you get stuck in the cycles and you just need to step back and think about what needs to be changed,” explained Kjirstyn Wicklund.

The final thing to know about effective communication is that utilizing these skills will increase self-esteem. Voicing personal feelings clearly and openly can lead to a better sense of self.

To learn more about how to strengthen and maintain relationships, Jessica Woodward and Kjirstyn Wicklund have invited anyone to make an appointment to meet with them in CSU 285.

South Korean filibuster sets record, lasting over 8 days HEE JAE JUNG Staff Writer South Korean filibuster set the longest record in filibuster history, lasting more than eight days and four hours. It began Feb. 23 and finished in March 2.

The opposite parties united to block the passage of a bill regarding anti-terrorism.

The 38 legislators from the two parties participated to defeat the bill since the ruling party called Saenuri occupies half of the floor. The interesting fact is that few legislators of the ruling party attended the ‘unlimited debate.’ Even

Through this event, many politicians have rediscovered to the public and the stereotypes on politics had broken, according to public sentiment.

They pointed out that this bill has the possibility of invading the people’s privacy.

This bill claims to have a high chance of being used towards domestic citizens, not the terrorist suspects. This is because the standards of accusing terrorist suspects are ambiguous, and the principal

The last speaker, Jong-kul Lee, who gave his speech for 12 hours and 31 minutes, set the record of the longest parliamentary speech.

This event was a remarkable opportunity for the public since it was known to most people in South Korea. This filibuster was broadcasted live through YouTube for the whole time. Also, the live chat from YouTube became a ‘new

This particular bill gives NIS the right to search personal and possibly sensitive information of terrorist suspects such as phone records, financial information, without relevant warrants.

Also, it turns out that there are already many related legislations and organizations regarding the prevention of terrorism. This is why the issue has become controversial.

There is a slight difference between the generally known filibuster and the South Korean filibuster. In fact, the formal title of the filibuster in South Korea is ‘unlimited debate.’

Also, you need to speak only about related matters unlike the filibuster in America. That is why one legislator, Min-hee Choi, from one of the opposite party called TheMinJu, read 1984 by George Orwell, which is a well-known dystopian novel describing the world monitoring by ‘big brother’ all the time.

The chairman of the National Assembly did not halt Choi’s reading it was related to the agenda.

However, TheMinJu party made a decision to stop the unlimited debate for the sake of April parliamentary elections because they were accused of interrupting the passage of other bills and it might affect the next election.

In the end, all of these were well appreciated. It brought many advantages to the public. People said they saw hope from the politicians and it was good to get to know what happened and what really matters. So, they lost the combat but they did not fail overall.

Tuesday’s primaries a success for Clinton, Trump Clinton sweeps Ohio and Florida; Trump, Kasich split; Rubio out.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Hillary Clinton triumphed Tuesday in the Florida, Ohio, North Carolina and Illinois presidential primaries, putting her in a commanding position to become the first woman in U.S. history to win a major-party nomination. Donald Trump strengthened his hand in the Republican race with a big win in Florida but fell in Ohio to that state’s governor, John Kasich.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio ended his once-promising campaign after his devastating home-state loss, so the GOP primary is now down to three candidates: Trump, Kasich and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

Trump also picked up wins in North Carolina and Illinois.

The billionaire businessman told a victory rally, “This was an amazing night.”

Trump is the only Republican candidate with a realistic path to the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the nomination before the July convention. But his loss in Ohio kept hope alive for mainstream Republicans dismayed by his candidacy and suggesting the real estate mogul can still be stopped in a convention fight.

“The campaign goes on,” Kasich declared at a victory rally. Now thrust into the center of a campaign that has been bitingly personal, Kasich vowed to “not take the low road to the highest office

Photo of Hillary Clinton Courtesy of The Associated Press in the land.”

Both the Republican and Democratic races in Missouri’s presidential primaries were too close to call Wednesday morning.

A confident Clinton pivoted quickly to November during her victory rally, assailing Trump’s hardline immigration positions and support for torture. “Our commander-in-chief has to be able to defend our country, not embarrass it,” she declared.

Underscoring Republican concerns about Trump, Rubio focused heavily on an implicit critique of Trump in a speech announcing he was dropping out of the race. The senator urged Americans to “not give

in to the fear, do not give in to the frustration.”

A favorite of Republican leaders, Rubio is the latest candidate to fall victim to an unpredictable election cycle and Trump’s unmatched ability to tap into the public’s anger with Washington and frustration with sweeping economic changes.

Clinton’s victories in Ohio, Florida and Illinois were blows to rival Bernie Sanders and bolstered her argument that she’s the best Democratic candidate to take on the eventual Republican nominee in the general election. Her win in Ohio was a particular relief for her campaign, which grew anxious after Sanders

pulled off a surprising win last week in Michigan, another important Midwestern state.

Clinton kept up her large margins with black voters, a crucial group for Democrats in the general election.

Democratic voters were more likely to describe Sanders as honest, but more likely to describe Clinton’s policies as realistic, according to exit polls.

Campaigning Tuesday in North Carolina, Clinton said “the numbers are adding up in my favor.” She signaled an eagerness to move on to a possible general election showdown with Trump, saying he’s laid out a “really dangerous path” for the country.

In Missouri, the margins between Trump and Cruz and between Clinton and Sanders, were less than one-half of

Obama nominates Merrick Garland to Supreme Court President’s decision challenges current GOP-controlled Senate.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Ignoring Republican threats, President Barack Obama nominated appeals court judge Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court on Wednesday, thrusting a respected moderate jurist and former prosecutor into the center of an election-year clash over the future of the nation’s highest court.

Obama cast the 63-yearold Garland as “a serious man and an exemplary judge” deserving of a full hearing and a Senate confirmation vote, despite Republican vows to deny him both. Standing in the White House Rose Garden with Garland, Obama argued the integrity of the court was at stake and appealed to the Senate to “play it straight” in filling the seat left vacant by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.

“It’s supposed to be above politics,” Obama said of the high court. “It has to be. And it should stay that way.”

Republican leaders, however, held to their refusal to consider any nominee, saying the seat should be filled by the next president after this year’s election. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell spoke with Garland by phone but did not change his position that “the American people will have a voice.” He said he would not be holding “a perfunctory meeting but he wished Judge Garland well,” a spokesman said.

Still, some in the GOP ranks were wary of sticking to a no-hearing, no-vote, noteven-meeting stance.

Garland was to talk by phone to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley, and four other Republican senators — Jeff Flake of Arizona, Susan Collins of Maine, James Inhofe of Oklahoma and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, also said they would meet with him.

The judge will visit senators on Thursday at the Capitol, before the Senate breaks for a two-week recess.

The White House said that was evidence Garland’s weighty resume and bipartisan credentials were putting pressure on Republicans.

Garland, 63, is the chief judge for the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, a court whose influence over federal policy and national security matters has made it a proving ground for potential justices.

A graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School, Garland has clerked for two

Eisenhower — the liberal Justice William Brennan Jr. as well as Judge Henry J. Friendly, for whom Chief Justice John Roberts also clerked. As a federal prosecutor, he made his reputation overseeing the investigation and prosecutions in the Oklahoma City bombing case in 1995, as well as the case against Unabomber Ted Kaczynski.

When confirmed to the

D.C. Circuit in 1997, Garland won backing from a majority in both parties, including seven current Republicans senators.

As a replacement for Scalia, Garland would undoubtedly shift the court away from its conservative tilt. He would be expected to align with the more liberal members on environmental regulation, labor disputes and campaign finance.

But he is not viewed as a

down-the-line liberal. Particularly on criminal defense and national security cases,

he’s earned a reputation as centrist with a law-and-order streak, siding more often with prosecutors. When his name was floated for the Supreme Court in the past, it was liberal groups that expressed concerns, pointing to early decisions favoring the government in disputes over the legal rights of detainees at the Guantanamo Bay prison.

Those cases are part of why the nomination risks deflating some of the energy among the Democratic base. Progressives and civil rights activists had pushed the president to name an African-American woman or to otherwise expand the court’s diversity.

The president passed over appeals court Judge Sri Srinivasan, who would have been the first Asian-American justice, and Judge Paul Watford, who would have been the second African-American.

Trump entered Tuesday’s primaries embroiled in one of the biggest controversies of his contentious campaign.

The GOP front-runner has encouraged supporters to confront protesters at his events and is now facing accusations of encouraging violence after

skirmishes at a rally last week in Chicago.

The atmosphere at his events has deepened the concern over his candidacy in some Republican circles. Rubio and Kasich have suggested they might not be able to support Trump if he’s the nominee, an extraordinary stance for intraparty rivals.

His closest competition so far has come from Cruz, who has kept relatively close to

the businessman in the delegate count and has been urging other candidates to drop out so he can take Trump on one-on-one.

After another good night for Trump, some Republicans were struggling to come to grips with the prospect of him becoming the nominee and desperate to find long-shot ways to stop him.

A group of conservatives planned to meet Thursday to

GARLAND...Continued from page 8 Garland — a white, male jurist with an Ivy League pedigree and a career largely in the upper echelon of Washington’s legal elite — breaks no barriers. At 63, he would be the oldest Supreme Court nominee since Lewis Powell, who was 64 when he was confirmed in 1971.

The White House said Garland underwent a physical and is in good health, but said Obama didn’t otherwise consider age a factor. Until now, Garland has been something of a perpetual bridesmaid, repeatedly on Obama’s Supreme Court lists but never chosen.

In emotional remarks in the Rose Garden, he choked back tears, calling the nomination “the greatest honor of my life.” He described his grandparents’ flight from anti-Semitism in Eastern Europe and

his modest upbringing. He said he viewed a judge’s job as a mandate to set aside personal preferences and “follow the law, not make it.”

The White House aimed to portray him as stellar legal mind with a common touch and a knack for building consensus. Obama quoted past praise for Garland from Roberts and Sen. Orrin Hatch. In 2010, Hatch said he could be confirmed to the highest court “virtually unanimously.”

Garland has experience with a prolonged confirmation process. He waited 2½ years to win confirmation to the appeals court. Then, as now, one of the men blocking his path was Grassley, who argued he had no quarrel with Garland’s credentials but objected to a Democratic president trying to fill an appeals court he felt had too many seats.

Top ten episodes of Star Trek: The Animated Series One student explores the best moments from the animated spin-off.

WES HUNTINGTON Staff Writer After the original Star Trek was cancelled in 1969, it went into syndication shortly afterward. Since syndication was breathing life into the series, an effort was made to bring it back to television, and it came along fairly quickly. Star Trek: The Animated Series (known officially as The Animated Adventures of Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek) ran for 22 episodes from Sept. 8, 1973 to Oct. 12, 1974 and is technically the second series following the original. Produced

by Filmation Animation in conjunction with Paramount Television, the series aired on Saturday mornings and were a half-hour in length, and it boldly went where no part

Like The Original Series, The Animated Series featured almost the entire original cast, sans Walter

Koenig due to budgetary constraints, but he got to write an episode called “The Infinite Vulcan.” Koenig’s role of Chekov was instead played by a newly-created character, Lieutenant Arex, voiced by James Doohan, who played him in addition to his regular role of Scotty and other male

American mind thought a crash was around every turn of the wheel. Meanwhile, small-motorized bikes and motorcycles swerved through the cars making their own lanes in narrow corners.

We passed through the city of Punta Cana in the shuttle. The high arching palm trees shaded the downtown district of the city. People bustled about selling goods and the scene was vibrant.

But nestled in between businesses were abandoned buildings that held the homes of the less fortunate. As we passed by these buildings, I could not help but feel sorry for those that resided in these places. The feeling was made even more glaring when we arrived at the resort.

The resort was a city in itself. There were shops and restaurants and even a spa all confined behind gates with armed guards. Though I wanted to venture out of the resort walls, I felt helpless against the language barrier. We met only one other couple there that spoke English as a first language. The resort was beautiful. It had multiple pools and world-class

beaches, but I could not get over what I saw outside of those walls. A country that had such natural beauty had also a large number of people trying hard just to get by.

It was an extremely humbling experience. It was a great chance for us to get outside of our comfort zone and experience the large expansive world outside of the United States. It made

me thankful for what I have here but also made me realize that I take a lot for granted. This feeling could not have been achieved if I had not gone out and done it myself. I encourage anyone who has not left the United States to do so. It was such a great and memorable experience!

characters. In addition, to save money—sans a few exceptions—Doohan, Nichelle Nichols, and Majel Barrett played multiple roles in the series. To this day, it is not considered canonical (original creator Gene Roddenberry had said that on numerous occasions in interviews), and is the only Star Trek series to win an Emmy for Best Series, winning one for the 19741975 season. Presented in no particular order, here are my top 10 Star Trek: The Animated Series episodes. #1: “Yesteryear” (aired Sept. 15, 1973) A sequel of sorts to the Original Series episode “The City on the Edge of Forever,” Spock is found not to exist

when he, Kirk, and a historian travel back from the past of a distant world. Spock must time travel back to the time of his Kahs-wan ritual, a ritual of endurance inside Vulcan’s notorious Forge. A lot of current elements of Spock were revealed here, including an instance of him being bullied for his half-human heritage, something that got its “canonical” appearance in the 2009 film. To add additional authenticity, Mark Lenard returns as Sarek, Spock’s father. Lenard and two others are the only actors to reprise their roles from The Original Series. #2: “More Tribbles, More Troubles” (aired Oct. 6, 1973) Another sequel to a popular episode (this time it is “The Trouble With Tribbles”), Cyrano Jones (voiced by original actor Stanley Adams) escapes with a Klingon Tribble predator called a Glommer and seeks refuge aboard the Enterprise. He brings along his famous tribbles and discovers that these tribbles don’t multiply, instead they get fat and—once phasered—become a whole tribble colony. All of the familiar gags from the original (including the one where Kirk

Also on the planet is the scientist Dr. Stavos Keniclius, a student of the Eugenics Wars. Keniclius says that the galaxy is in need of order and he will try to impose it with the Phylosians, who believe in the same philosophy. The title of the episode refers to a giant version of Spock in order to help Keniclius achieve his goal. This episode was written by Walter Koenig, who got an opportunity to write an episode following his snub of being a part of the Enterprise crew in this series.

eventually gets her happily ever after. While Fey’s character, Liz Lemon, did end up getting her happy ending, she never broke away from being the down-to-earth, humorous, and awkward woman that she was. She never changed for others, only for herself. To me, this is a pretty good message to send to young women.

Lorde, musician When you hear the musical style of Lorde, you can tell right away that she isn’t your typical female pop star. She doesn’t sing about being dumped or having huge parties; she sings about things she has been through, or simply tries to tell a story with her music that others can relate to. It also helps that the popular singer has fought back against photo retouching.

When a photo of her singing onstage was released, the singer quickly took to social media and posted the original photo, clearly showing a complexion that wasn’t perfect.

Gina Rodriguez, actress Ms. Rodriguez does a wonderful job of playing a new mother and pure virgin on the TV show Jane the Virgin. Rodriguez had everything going against her as an actress in the USA: she wasn’t white, and she wasn’t a size four or below. However, that didn’t stop her from landing the lead role on a

popular TV show and then winning an Emmy for her performance before the show had even finished its first season! In her Emmy speech, Rodriguez credits her father for reminding her that she can and will do anything.

Amy Schumer, actress/ comedian With the popularity of her sketch show Inside Amy Schumer and her hit 2015 film Trainwreck, Schumer is breaking the rules left and right. Schumer is another actress who knows the importance of a well-written character and a joke that makes you both laugh and groan. She likes to deviate from what is “expected” of her as an actress and as a female comedian. Schumer will break down walls and barriers with a sledgehammer, and without the help of anyone else.

Adele, musician Who doesn’t love Adele?

She’s hilarious, strong, kind,

and unapologetically herself. She stands up against the physical and mental “expectations” of female artists. Yes, she does sing about heartbreak, but she is able to do it in a respectful way; she doesn’t hint at who the heart-breaker is and certainly doesn’t put his name in any song or title.

She also fights back when reporters ask her about her size/weight. She knows that these things don’t define her as a person or as an artist; they are simply numbers that determine nothing about her worth as a person.

Obviously, there are so many other women who are making huge changes in so many different ways, and it’s slowly but surely starting to appear in pop culture. Everybody, male or female, can help make the process of total acceptance and equality of others go faster!

eral of the crystals break and hit the air supply ducts, the crew realizes the crystals actually do work and begin to feel affectionate towards one another. #5: “The Time Trap” (aired Nov. 24, 1973) In this episode, the Enterprise and a Klingon ship, the Klothos, become trapped in the Delta Triangle, a region of space where starships have been disappearing since ancient times. They also become a part of Elysia, the name of the pocket in the space-time continuum where time moves slowly, led by a Vulcan named Xerius. #6: “The Slaver Weapon” (aired Dec. 15, 1973) In the only animated Star Trek episode to not feature the Enterprise or Captain Kirk, Dr. McCoy, or Mr. Scott,

Spock, Sulu and Uhura are traveling by shuttlecraft to drop off an ancient weapon discovered on a planet belonging to a race called the Slavers, who ruled the galaxy millions of years ago.

Unfortunately, another race called the Kzinti also want the weapon and take control of the Federation. The Kzinti are never seen again, but a planned fifth season episode of Star Trek: Enterprise would have brought the Kzinti into the franchise. #7: “The Jihad” (aired Jan. 12, 1974) The Enterprise has been summoned to an asteroid to attempt to find the Soul of the Skorr, a religious artifact of the Skorr people who are an alien avian race that appear only two times in The Animated Series and this was their last appearance in Star Trek ever (maybe they’ll make an appearance in the new series, we’ll never know).

However, if the artifact is not found, the Skorr, previously known as a warrior race, would launch a holy war on the rest of the galaxy. #8: “The Practical Joker” (aired Sept. 21, 1974) The Enterprise comes into contact with a mysterious cloud to avoid the Romulans and upon exiting it they discover the computer is behaving erratically.

‘Holy grail’ set of Shakespeare folios for sale Sale marks 400 years since famed writer’s death.

LONDON (AP) — William Shakespeare died 400 years ago, but his stock has never been higher.

To coincide with the anniversary of the Bard’s death, Christie’s is selling copies of the first four editions of his plays — a collection the auctioneer’s head of books, Margaret Ford, calls “the holy grail of publishing.”

The four folios are going on display in New York April 1-8 and London April 20-28 before being sold in London on May 25.

The First Folio, published in 1623, collected 36 plays, 18 of which had not previously appeared in print and would otherwise have been lost. It also cemented Shakespeare’s status as a serious writer, worthy — unusually for a playwright of the time — of a proper, leather-bound book.

TREK

Photo Courtesy of The Associated Press Later editions, published in 1632, 1664 and 1685, helped preserve his work; the third also included a further play:

“Pericles, Prince of Tyre.”

Of 750 First Folios that were printed, 233 are recorded as having survived.

er begins to play practical jokes on the crew, ranging from changing the air supply to nitrous oxide (laughing gas), to simple ones like writing “Kirk is a jerk” on one of Kirk’s uniforms. The Recreation Room—a precursor to The Next Generation’s Holodeck—makes its debut here. #9: “How Sharper than a Serpent’s Tooth” (aired Oct. 5, 1974) An alien starship makes contact with the Enterprise and it turns out to be a version of Kukulkan, an an-

cient God from Mayan and Aztec theology. This also marks the first appearance of a Native American crew member aboard a Federation starship, 20 years before Robert Beltran was cast to play Chakotay on Star Trek: Voyager. #10: “The Counter-Clock Incident” (aired Oct. 12, 1974) The finale of The Animated Series has the Enterprise accidently traveling to an antimatter universe where everything flows backward, including time itself. The

episode also makes the first mention of Robert April, dating back to the earliest days of developing The Original Series where April was made the captain of the Starship Enterprise by Gene Roddenberry.

Those are the top 10 episodes of Star Trek: The Animated Series. There aren’t many left, but if there were any that you feel should have been mentioned, let us know on Facebook or Twitter!

Hilltop Meat Market

The one being offered by Christie’s, valued at between 800,000 pounds and 1.2 million pounds ($1.1 million and $1.7 million), is not on the official list. Christie’s says it and two of the other folios are from a “discreet and offthe-radar” private collection in Europe and haven’t been seen in public for 200 years.

The later folios are less valuable, but Ford says “you

can count on one hand” the number of collectors who own all four. The volumes are being sold as separate lots, though Ford thinks a wealthy collector might be tempted to try for the whole set.

“It could be a coup to be the first person to bring Shakespeare (folios) to China, for example,” Ford said.

These days, the Bard is a global brand. The anniversary of his death on April 23, 1616 is being marked by events around the world, from a festival in Chicago to performances in the playwright’s home town of Stratford-upon-Avon. Shakespeare’s Globe theater is nearing the end of a two-year tour that has taken “Hamlet” to almost 200 countries around the world.

“There are so many truths there, and he does seem to speak to the ages,” Ford said. “I find it hard to imagine a world in which Shakespeare is not front and center in world literature.”

Rosatom and American artist collaborate for art exhibit Taryn Simon creates artwork out of degraded nuclear waste.

MOSCOW (AP) — A parcel-sized concrete cube meant to house decayed nuclear waste is one of the latest artworks at Moscow’s Garage contemporary art museum.

This ambitious take on Russian artist Kazimir Malevich’s original “Black Square” paintings is the brainchild of American artist Taryn Simon and the product of years of coordination with Russia’s state-controlled Rosatom nuclear agency.

Like Malevich’s work, Simon said hers is also “the great nothing designed out of quite something.”

Rosatom’s first reactions to the project were confusion and surprise— why would an artist want a box of nuclear waste— but after two years

Garage’s founder, adding that Simon’s collaboration created a nice cultural bridge — this is certainly the first time an American artist has collaborated with Rosatom, Zhukova added with a smile.

The nuclear “Black Square XVII” is the most recent iteration of Simon’s own black square series, some of which are also on display at Garage.

Though more mundane than nuclear waste, the other black squares are imposed with images that agitate from the political — Henry Kissinger in “Black Square V”— to the introspective — a parrot who pulls out his feathers from depression in “Black Square XI.” Photo Courtesy of The Associated Press American artist Taryn Simon walks at the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, in Moscow.

“Garage has promised to add the degraded waste to the exhibit, buried along with a letter from Simon, in 999 years after the waste has downgraded.” of negotiations via proxies,

work began on Simon’s black square.

As a foreign citizen, Simon hasn’t been allowed onto Rosatom nuclear facilities and for both safety and security reasons has never physically touched or seen her work of art. Instead, she has communicated with a team of nuclear physicists across Russia.

The nuclear waste capsule was buried in a concrete-reinforced steel container at a Rosatom nuclear storage facility 70 miles (110 kilometers) outside of Moscow. Assistant curators at Garage filmed the process.

KELCIE RICHMOND Staff Writer The Minnesota State softball team dominated the Spring Games down in Florida during spring break last week.

The Mavericks participated in 10 games during their stay in Clermont and impressed many, going 9-1 overall.

Head coach for the Mavericks, Lori Meyer said the Spring Games are always a fun and competitive time.

“It’s called the Spring Games and you can sign up to play as many as you want so I signed us up for 10 games,” Meyer said. “What really got us down there was the weather. With climate problems it’s hard for us to get outside so this was a great way for us to play on the field in better weather but also the teams.

We played some very good teams from all around.”

MSU started their break with two games Saturday, March 5. At noon the Mavs matched up against Indiana University of Pennsylvania, defeating the Crimson Hawks 2-0 in eight innings. The Maverick’s sophomore pitcher Libby Bemis notched the win, pitching a complete game for the Purple and Gold and going 2-1 on the season so far.

Bemis also earned a new career high striking out 11 IUP players.

In the second game of the trip the Mavericks took on Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania at 2 p.m. after the IUP victory. During this game junior pitcher Coley Ries struck out 15 batters.

With the double digit strike outs, Ries moved to third alltime on MSU’s list. The Purple and Gold cruised to an 8-3 victory over the Rock.

Sunday brought on two new competitors for the Mavericks. First of the day, MSU played St. Joseph’s College.

The Pumas were no match for the Mavs as they captured their third victory of the trip with a 6-1 score.

The second game saw Reis

Monday brought two more games for MSU. The Mavericks suited up early for their

second opponent of the day would be tough. The Mavericks fell to the University of Southern Indiana in nine innings by a score of 2-3. The USI Eagles gave the Mavs their first loss of the break but the Purple and Gold would bounce back.

The Mavericks got a break Wednesday but were right back into the action Thursday afternoon with their last two games of the trip, defeating Edinboro University 2-1 and Ohio Dominican University 2-0 completing the trip 9-1.

After the games were over, the players were able to enjoy a good amount of sun before returning to the cold and windy Minnesota region.

“We had one off day,” Coach Meyer said. “The girls got to go out, the ocean was a popular site, and then lots of shopping. It was so great because many parents made the trip too so it was awesome to have the support.”

The Mavericks will head down to Missouri for the Missouri Western Tournament Friday, March 18. They will play against six different schools at a neutral site in St. Joseph, Missouri before heading back to Mankato to start NSIC play March 22.

March Madness: Where no one is safe TOMMY WIITA Staff Writer In this day and age, some would consider the NCAA March Madness Tournament to almost be in the ranks of a national holiday. Millions of people all over the country fill out brackets to test their luck in what is surely an entertaining few weeks of basketball.

This year, the tourney may be a year to remember for all of the upsets that happened throughout the year. The Kansas Jayhawks currently have held the No. 1 position in the polls for the longest length of time this season, but there will be others challenging for the title. There are four teams considered to be the favorites going into the tournament, as well as four possible Cinderella teams that may steal the show.

THE FAVORITES Kansas Jayhawks (30-4 Overall, 15-3 Big 12) Head Coach Bill Self has once again put together a fantastic basketball team. The comical fact is this is not one of Self’s best teams, which shows how good of a coach he has been. The Jayhawks won their 12th consecutive Big 12 title, and have one of, if not the best, roster up and down in the tournament.

They have been consistent as one of the most efficient teams this year on both sides of the ball, which sets them up perfectly for a title to take.

Senior power forward Perry Ellis is the rock of this core, as he has averaged 52.3 percent from the field, while averaging 16.7 points per game and 5.9 rebounds per game. Another difference maker will be the junior guard Frank Mason III. Mason has shot 41.4 percent from behind the arc and can change the momentum in big ways. The team as a whole can be deadly from the three-point line as well.

Michigan State Spartans (29-5 Overall, 13-5 Big Ten) It sure is a wonder how the Spartans did not receive the number one seed in their region. Tom Izzo’s team could have just as great of a chance of cutting the nets down as the rest of the best, and MSU undoubtedly has the most valuable player in the game in senior guard Denzel Valentine. The 6’5” Lansing, Michigan native averaged crazy numbers this year: 19.4 ppg, 7.6 rpg and

7.6 assists per game. He is one the best-rounded studs of the tournament, but that is not all State has to offer. Fellow senior guard Bryn Forbes is tremendous from behind the three-point line, hitting almost 50 percent this season (48.4). There is not a blemish to be glorified on this squad, as they can shoot, rebound and pass extremely well.

Virginia Cavaliers (26-7 Overall, 13-5 ACC) Seems like every year the Cavs find their way into Final Four discussions. What distinguishes them differently from other teams is their slow-style of play. They still finished second in the ACC with 13 wins, in which they were the slowest in their conference. ACC Player of the Year Malcolm Brogdon will surely pace this solid squad, as he averaged 18.7/4.1/2.8 this season. The senior also shot over 40 percent from deep (40.9). Virginia these past two seasons struggled on offense, which hindered them in making a run for a championship. This year, however, is a complete 180 degrees turnaround from the past. Coach Tony Bennett has shooters a ’plenty: as a team, the Cavaliers are hitting over 40 percent from threepoint range (40.2) and over 50 percent on two-pointers (51.3).

North Carolina Tar Heels (28-6 Overall, 14-4 ACC) Most preseason polls had the Tar Heels ranked No. 1 going into the season, and

through some tribulations early on in the season the ACC champs are here to wreak havoc in March. North Carolina won both the ACC’s regular season and tournament titles, and have looked scarier as the season has rolled on. Head Coach Roy Williams has not had a team in the Final Four since 2009, when they subsequently won the championship. This will be a year where fans are expecting the same kind of run as the roster is packed full of heart and talent. The offense does their damage in the paint, as All-ACC first-team senior forward Brice Johnson will be a major key for the Tar Heels’ success. Johnson averaged a double-double this season (16.6 ppg and 10.6 rpg) and has been great defensively. Senior point guard Marcus Paige will look to end his collegiate career on a high note as well as he is a threat to change the pace of the game at any time. With a fast-paced offense, North Carolina will have to rely on their points in the paint as they were the worst three-point shooting teams in the ACC (28.3 percent).

THE CINDERELLAS? St. Joseph’s Hawks (27-7 Overall, 13-5 Atlantic 10) The Hawks have been playing as great as anyone lately, and playing under-the-radar could work well in their favor as they enter the tournament as the eighth seed in the West Region. They are set to play

2-BEDROOMS LEFT ONLY!

Cincinnati in the first round, and are actually favored to win. With a surprise one seed in Oregon within the same region, do not be shocked if the Hawks keep up their hot style of play. Most are saying they are under-seeded and they have great players to back it up. Star junior forward DeAndre Bembry has stat-stuffed all season long, averaging 17.3 points a game. The Atlantic-10’s player of the year will be the man to lean on, but senior forward Isaiah Miles has improved his game dramatically as well and proves to be a viable option. As long as the Hawks can continue to not turn the ball over and get solid production from their bench, they could be dancing well into the tourney.

Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (27-5 Overall, 13-3 Big West) What a surprise season to witness for the island school.

The Rainbow Warriors are most certainly a team to not be overlooked, as they play an aggressive and physical style of game. Hawaii has not seen a team in the big dance for 14 years, and they are not planning to go one-and-done. They play a very talented California team to get things started, but the Golden Bears have shown inconsistent play throughout the season. Cal has also been sloppy with the basketball as well, and Hawaii’s stingy defense could very well seize the opportunity. They have proven to give tough opponents a run,

as they lost close games to Oklahoma and Texas Tech earlier this season. They rebound well, which could be a factor against California’s porous offensive rebounding.

Arkansas Little-Rock Trojans (29-4 Overall, 17-3 Sun Belt) Yes, the Purdue Boilermakers are surely a tough first round matchup for the Trojans. What will be a major factor in this game is how the three-point defense will fare against Purdue’s shooters. The Boilermakers have struggled scoring from twopoint range all season and Little-Rock plays a gritty defense that could carry them deep.

Little-Rock is different from other teams in terms of what they pride themselves in, which is getting back on defense. The Trojans will need to play tough defense, and force bad shots. They also have to turn the ball over and make good decisions with the basketball on offense. They can shoot the rock well from deep, with Marcus Johnson Jr. hitting 46 percent from the three-point line this season.

The Trojans also have a deep rotation as Chris Beard’s team stays ready to go all game.

Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks (27-5 Overall, 18-0 Southland) By now, if you have been paying attention to March

What are the Timberwolves missing?

COREY YUMAN Staff Writer The Minnesota Timberwolves are a team that, on the surface, seem to be brimming with talent and optimism, so it can be tough to really figure out what problem is. The Minnesota Timberwolves entered the year with a lot of excitement from fans but as the season progressed it became clear that this year’s team was going to suffer from a lot of the same woes as previous years. But what’s missing?

Three things: consistency, leadership, and bench play.

Consistency has been one of the largest issues for the team, especially at the point guard position. Ricky Rubio is the starting PG, but what Rubio is going to be doing on the court on a night to night basis is anyone’s guess. The young player shows spurts of brilliance in his passing but has still not found a way to consistently drain a shot.

At this point in the season he is sitting on his second best field goal percentage of his career but 36.6 percent just isn’t going to cut it for a starting point guard, especially one that is only averaging 10 points with that percentage.

Rubio has games where one can wonder how he’s even employed, then he reminds everyone with things like the March 11th outing versus Oklahoma City Thunder where he solidified the upset win with a three point buzzer beater. Or the March 14th game against the Phoenix Suns where he matched a season high by serving up 17 assists. The man oozes with

talent, but he needs to show that more often.

In all likelihood, the eventual successor of Rubio’s starting spot will be Zach LaVine.

While his troubles don’t come from scoring, they still come from inconsistency. While he can be a threat on any given night, what the ‘Wolves need from their starting PG is a person that is a threat on any given night. This may be turning a corner, though, as the last 10 games LaVine averaged 17.5 points off of a 48 shooting percentage. If and when he develops his ball handling skills a little more, it is safe to assume he’ll be at the forefront of the offense.

The offense doesn’t just need a consistent point guard at the forefront though, it also needs someone to be a leader. Last year veteran Kevin Garnett was brought back to Minnesota at the trade deadline and adds a much needed veteran leadership to this young team, but he’s currently playing a career low 14 minutes per game, and at a time where so many staples of the sport are retiring it seems like a looming inevitability that we’ll be seeing him on the court for the last time soon, and perhaps sooner than most fans want.

Andre Miller and Tayshaun Prince were brought in at the start of the season to help fill that void, and Kevin Martin was already a member of the team. Two out of those three are now gone as Martin and Miller were allowed to pursue

a chance with the San Antonio Spurs, and Prince has provided very little on court. Finding an effective and willing veteran that can provide both in the box score and teach the young pups the essence of the game could go a long way in advancing production.

Not only is there a need for veteran leadership, but there is a need for someone on the team to step up and claim the team as theirs. Who runs this offense right now? Is it Rubio? Last year’s rookie of the year in Andrew Wiggins?

This year’s number one draft pick Karl Anthony Towns? It’s important that this question gets answered soon.

Having said all this, even if the consistency comes together for the point guard position, and even if a definitive leader steps up, there are still issues with the bench play. Head coach Sam Mitchell even commented on a need for more than just scoring after the loss to the Suns.

“At some point, we’ve got to get some kind of bench production and not just scoring,” Mitchell told the Star Tribune. “Play some defense.

Get a rebound. Set a screen.

It’s can’t just be guys coming into the game thinking they’re going to score all the time. We’ve got to get some toughness coming from the bench, something. It just puts so much pressure on the five starting guys.”

Guys like Shabazz Muhammad, Gorgui Dieng, and Nemanja Bjelica are all great

continued from 17 Madness each season, the Lumberjacks should not be a new team you have heard of in this section. One thing can be said about this team: they shoot the ball well (54.9 percent from two point range, 37.1 percent from three) and they dish the ball around efficiently (19 APG is ranked second in the NCAA). They were not undefeated in their respective conference by chance, as this team can get on a roll and dominate. Head Coach Brad Underwood will take on his former team West Virginia, where he was an as-

sistant head coach to Bob Huggins. Both teams have the same style of play, and it should be a grind-it-out type of game. The Mountaineers have struggled shooting the ball at times, which could mean big things for the Lumberjacks. Be sure to watch senior forward Thomas Walkup. He averaged 17.5 ppg while dishing out nearly 5 assists a game and 6.8 rebounds a game, and will be a tremendous player that will be relied on in the paint for Stephen F. Austin.

MSU Handball places second at nationals

LUKE LONIEN Sports Editor The Minnesota State Mankato Handball team finished second in the country at the United States Handball Association’s (USHA) National Collegiate Handball tournament. The tournament was held on the University of Minnesota’s campus on February 24-28.

50 schools from the United States, Ireland, and Canada sent players to compete for individual and team titles in Men’s, Women’s, and combined team championships.

Wells was very pleased with the team as a whole, and how they support each other.

“We put in literally hundreds of hours of work. We would come to class and they would spend some time doing insanity workouts for 20 minutes and come back and play,” coach Mike Wells said.

“When we go to the nationals, we have what we call a buddy system. So everyone has a buddy assigned to them and they go to their matches.

Nobody is at a match by himself or herself.”

The buddy system works great for the MSU Handball team. The team enjoys being around each other and watching each other play in match-

es.

“I am most proud of how they support their teammates.

It is really a wonderful group of young men and women we have here,” Wells said.

Lake Forest College (LFC) of Chicago recorded their eighth straight combined team championship.

The Mavericks finished second to LFC this year and in 2014 in the combined competition.

The Mavericks finished ahead of perennial powerhouses such as Texas, Texas A&M, Michigan State, Illinois, Missouri State, and University of Minnesota.

The Maverick men finished third behind the University of Limerick (UL) and LFC. Sophomore Tyler Stoffel became the first All-American ever for the Mavericks. Players can achieve All-American status by making the semi-final round in singles or the finals in doubles in the Open Division.

Stoffel is honored to be the first player to achieve All-American honors in his hometown.

“It is an honor. Its fun to be the first of anything,” Stoffel said. “It’s an honor to do it here because I grew up here.

I have always wanted to do it here.”

Stoffel overcame 10 straight match points in the second game of the quarterfinals against Galen Riordan of Ireland and then went on to win the tiebreaker 11-0 to achieve All-American honors.

“My goal all year was to

be an All-American,” Stoffel said. “So when I was down eight points, and then faced 10 match points, all I was thinking was don’t lose, don’t lose, don’t let him beat you, don’t let him beat you. I just got lucky enough to come out on top.”

Stoffel loves the competition and the people that he meets at the tournament.

Handball, for Stoffel, is a one-on-one sport. There is no team to rely on, and that brings out Stoffel’s competive nature.

“Its one of the only sports were you can go head-tohead against somebody and be competitive and then afterwards you are best friends,” Stoffel said. “Some of the best people I have ever met are at tournaments.”

Stoffel lost to Peter Funchion of Ireland 21-8, 21-14 in the championship finals. Stoffel has had quite a year winning the USHA’s 19 and under junior national title and finishing third in the 19 and under World Champions in Calgary, Canada.

Other Maverick men scoring points for the Mavericks were sophomore Jordan Taylor (13th), senior Jerad Michels (25th), sophomore Ricky Ness (25th), junior Tyler Fipps (37th), and sophomore Hugo Cervantes (37th).

Sophomore Adrian Anderson was the most improved player from last year’s team.

He finished 105th in 2015, but advanced to 41st this year.

Jordan Taylor won one of the two Sportsmanship Awards given to a player that is nominated at the tournament for demonstrating outstanding sportsmanship during the event.

Seth Troyer finished runner-up in the Men’s C1 Division losing to Alex Sadegholvad of Stony Brook University.

The Lady Mavericks were runner-up in the A Division and finished 4th overall.

The Lady Mavericks were led by senior Jessica Herion, who improved to 11th in the country, the highest finish ever by a Lady Maverick. The rest of the Lady Mavericks scoring points for the women’s team were Leah Grisim (41st), Nikki Theobald (51st),

Laurie Hiebert (53rd), Stasha Zetah (57th), and Courtney Johnson (66th).

“Our women are pretty inexperienced,” Wells said.

“We had one senior and she finished 11th in the country and she has been here four years. Everybody else is two years and under. So we are a year away from being pretty tough on the women’s side.”

Courtney Johnson finished runner-up in the Women’s B2 Division losing to Catalina Rodriguez from the University of Texas.
