MSSA mulls axing Newspaper Budget Senator Shakespeare calls proposed cuts to Reporter censorship, fascism.
MEGAN KADLEC
editor in chief
A referendum to cease funding for the Reporter was discussed in the MSSA Student Senate meeting Wednesday afternoon. The referendum was originally introduced in the March 20 Senate meeting by Vice President David Schieler, though because quorum was not met, a decision could not be made. The Senate agenda for Wednesday read, “to add a referendum for the 2013 general election ballot to cease Student Activity Fee funding to The Reporter.” On the elimination of Reporter funding, off-campus Senator Mike Hansen said; “I think to do so at this point would bring about an end to an era” wherein students would have access to information on what is happening on campus. Hansen said that proposing a referendum would interfere with the Constitution Commission’s work to redefine the independent newspaper board. “Considerations are being made through the Constitution Commission, Hansen said. “We are working on restructuring their advisory committee, the Newspaper Board, to help better the Reporter.” A motion was then passed to amend the referendum to clarify the language, and replace “cease” with “determine whether or not students want” to continue funding The Reporter. “On a personal level, I don’t believe senate should fund the Reporter, but on a public level, it’s their first amendment rights,” Senator
Sam Turner said. “If we’re going to cut funding to the Reporter, it should be the students who decide. It should not just be us [senators] here.” The Senate does not fund the Reporter. Student Activity Fees, which are approved by the Student Allocations Committee, an independent entity from the senate, are allocated to various student organizations, including Campus Recreation, the Department of Theatre and Dance, and Student Activities. “As representatives of the student body, at a time when student loan debt is the highest it has ever been, we ask the same questions of everyone else,” Schieler said. “It’s not about the Reporter. It’s about equal representation.” Reporter representatives stated that without the funding they receive from student fees, it would be difficult to keep their doors open. The funds received from the University go directly to paying the salaries of the Reporter’s two full-time state employees. Off-campus senator Joshua Erhardt pointed out that, if put to a ballot, most students wouldn’t be aware of the fact that they were voting on someone’s livelihood, on someone’s job. The issue of censorship was also brought up. “It is not the administration trying to censor the newspaper. It’s the students. It’s the elected democratic representatives of the entire student body attempting to censor their own paper,” Senator Ben Shakespeare said. Shakespeare continued to

In the 9th annual Carole Perkins Lecture, nationally recognized women’s equality activist Lilly Ledbetter spoke at the CSU Ballroom on Tuesday Night. Ledbetter, who gained notoriety in the 1979 Supreme Court Case Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., has become a nationwide speaker on women’s equality. The evening kicked off with Director of the Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Center, Jessica Flatequal announcing the distinguished attendees of the speech, Congressman Tim Walz and Minnesota State University, Mankato President Richard Davenport. After Carole Perkins spoke for a few moments, Ledbetter took the stage while the crowd offered a standing ovation. Ledbetter, who spoke with a heavy southern accent, had two pieces of information that she wanted to impart to

Loud and Clear
Cowan and board impressed by student response, recommend that free lot remain.
RYAN LUND
news editor
The students’ voices were heard “loud and clear,” according to an email distributed following Monday’s Parking Advisory Committee meeting. Despite a turnout of just 22 individuals in attendance at last week’s public hearing, and just 25 written suggestions, the committee ultimately voted to recommend that Lot 23, the only space on campus set aside for free parking, remain as such. The discussion however, appears to be far from over. “We are used to having our recommendations trampled on, amended and otherwise bruised,” Cowan said during a presentation to the student senate during Monday’s MSSA meeting. Cowan kicked off his own meeting by reviewing the written comments submitted to the committee and presented at last week’s hearing on the issue of the free lot, many of which were negative in nature. The board recommends that MSU make up the difference by taking $25,792 from the school’s general fund, which would cover the lost revenue. If the General Fund does not support the use of this money, the PAC recommends the elimination of the free lot, and instead

recommend that a $62 permit be required to park in the lot. “Our recommendation is to keep the free lot free, but I want someone to write me a check,” Cowan told the senators. “I’m not sure who is going to write me that check, but would like someone to pony up the $25,000.” The PAC also recommended a notable increase to MSU’s Green Transportation Fee from 75 cents per credit hour to 85 cents per credit hour, which would generate another $30,203 for Parking and Transportation at MSU. The proposed increase is projected to generate an additional $32,203 in new income, and will lower the cost to the Parking and Transportation fund from $89,606 dollars to $57,589. “This parking fund is selfsustaining,” Cowan said. “We receive no state aid, for a variety of reasons.” The board also endorsed a $1.5 million overall income plan for the coming fiscal year, the first of its Seven Year Capital Parking Lot Improvement Plan, and includes $314,00 in lot repairs slated for May and June of 2014. “The PAC understands that the 7 year plan will be examined each year, and our effort will be to try to finance as much of these repairs as possible
using parking permit revenues, visitor Paylot receipts, meter income, and revenue from parking citations,” according to the PAC’s Parking and Transportation recommendations. Those improvements however, will take a toll on the cost of existing permits, as the board voted unanimously for an apparent 3% permit rate increase across the board, totaling a projected $26,850 in new income. The increases will be used to fund planned renovations of both the 600 stall Lot 16, located near the performing arts building, and the soon to be decommissioned Gage Towers’ 500 stall lot. Further recommendations included the planned conversion of 75 purple permit stalls located in Lot 17 to gold status, reflecting their close proximity to essential campus buildings. In response to a question from the student senate, Cowan also revealed that MSU is the sole remaining MnSCU school to offer free parking to its students. MSU students and faculty would do well to remember that these are only recommendations, and that, in order for the changes to be put into effect, they will need to be approved by the Administration and reviewed at the appropriate Meet and Confer committee meetings.
state the problems with interfering with the dissemination of information to the student body, and what that means for individual senators. “If we are involved in this disruption, it is censorship. It is not democratic,” said Shakespeare. “We are not a student government. We do not deserve to sit at this table and we do not deserve to wear these badges that say we represent the students. We do not. It’s fascism.” “This is not a government takeover on campus. We are just asking about the viability of an independent Reporter that is not student funding. We’re not asking for any action,” Turner said. “All it is is a questionnaire. We’re not telling them to stop. We’re not trying to be a dictatorship.” There are three ways in which a referendum can be added to the MSSA general election ballot. The first, outlined above, would need a 60 percent vote of the student senate, while the second requires 250 verified student signatures on a petition. The third, and final, way a referendum can appear on the ballot is by the discretion of the MSU President, Richard Davenport. “If there is such an outroar
from the student body to cease funding to the Reporter, if there is such an outcry to take action in regards to the Reporter, then you can get 250 signatures,” Shakespeare said. “There are over 15,000 students on this campus. We should not be making this decision. The students should be making this decision through petition.” Hansen stated that the students should not be polled through the general election in the form of a referendum, but rather through other means that are completely unrelated to student government in any way. If the senate were to put the referendum on the ballot, “it signifies, given the public forum which we are already in, given the publicity this issue has already been given, if we were to call a referendum, it is obvious that we have brought this issue to the forefront, and it appears that we have condemned [the Reporter] already,” said Shakespeare. The motion to add a referendum to the general election ballot that would ask students to determine whether or not they wished to fund the Reporter in the future failed to meet the 60 percent

‘Duck Dynasty’ making fans happy, happy, happy
JENNA SCHLAPKOHL

I remember specifically the day it happened. My family was vacationing on the west coast, and we had taken to our hotel room to regroup from our jampacked day. Kicking my shoes off as I plopped onto the bed, I snatched up the remote before my brother commandeered the TV for yet another night of sports center. As I began channel surfing, I came across a group of “gentle-
web photo
men” decked out in camouflage, sporting long scruffy beards. Their accents were so thick, and their phrases so dramatic, I was instantly hooked. This was the day I fell in love with Duck Dynasty. In this day and age, reality TV shows are a dime a dozen. It’s nearly impossible to flip the switch and not be bombarded with outrageous families striving to reach celebrity status. It’s all a little overwhelming. The Robertson family, who
is showcased in this unexpected series breaks that mold. Family, God and hunting rather than money, fame and drama are without a doubt, the basis of this show. Of course, there is one small detail pushing this show along. The family runs a multi-million dollar industry making duck calls. What started out as a solo project in an old, dilapidated shack has now turned into an empire involving the entire
family. That may have been what grabbed producers attention, but what keeps ratings on a steady increase is the witty, unpredictable, caring family that seems almost foreign to anyone not well versed in “redneckery.” Thankfully, the show isn’t all about business. “Work hard, play harder” seems to be the ever present motto at their Duck Commander headquarters. Whether they are hoisting a trailer into the trees to make an extravagant duck blind, initiating a friendly donut eating contest, or re-locating a sleeping family member, the Robertson clan is all to familiar with goodhearted fun. Without taking hints from Jersey Shore or The Bachelor, the family never relies on anything stronger than sweet tea or more elaborate than their swampy backyard to have a good time. Yes, those shows are entertaining, but what good does it do for us? TV shows have the ability to impact and effect people. Therefore, shows should focus on positive lifestyle choices as opposed to ones lacking any sense of self-respect. When CEO Willie Robertson’s son John Luke, broke up
“Does MSU need a marching band?”
Brogan stegner, junior “Yes and no. It should be an option for students who are interested but I’m not sure it’s worth the funding with budget cuts.”
with his girlfriend, his family swamped him with support. Uncle Si, a Vietnam veteran and crazy man of the family, offered up a sound piece of advice stating, “there’s plenty of fish in the sea. Sting ray…gamma ray…ray-ban.” At the end of the day though, John Luke came to his own conclusion when he rekindled the relationship. “I caught a good fish and I’m keeping her.” Moments like these are why I can appreciate this show. Going to show that it isn’t necessary to buy happiness, simply talking might be the best solution. It’s easy to see how their family dynamic plays out, and just how close knit the group is. Every episode ends with a narrative given by Willie, transferring the episodes activities into a deeper, more meaningful context. I’d like to say that this part isn’t staged, simply for the fact that it warms my heart. Duck Dynasty is a show unlike any other and because of this the Robertson clan is quickly sneaking their way into America’s hearts. The Jesus praising, camouflage wearing and duck calling family is a force to be reckoned with.

After filing a charge with the Equal Opportunity Commission, and the case working it’s way through the Federal Court System, in 2006 Ledbetter’s case made it to the Supreme Court. In May 2007, in a 5-4 decision, the court ruled against Ledbetter. The U.S. attorney who had sided with her during the Federal Court trial had switched to represent Goodyear. Siding with the majority, Samuel Alito ruled that Ledbetter had waited for too long to report her charges. 2008 was a tumultuous year for Ledbetter.

As Minnesota established its support for gay marriage in the November election, the debate continues with the Supreme Court as nine justices wade in on the discussion of federal benefits for same-sex marriage cases in the next couple days. Many Americans are using social media as a central hub to voice support and opposition in order to sway public opinion. One in particular is the red and pink equal sign indicating support for samesex marriage, created by the Human Rights Campaign. The original Facebook post by HRC created Monday night has generated buzz and conversation, counteracted images by the opposing side for traditional marriage and
an array of hysterical spinoffs and meme images. The HRC is running a particularly successful social media initiative. In a Facebook post yesterday, the HRC asked same-sex marriage supporters to “paint the town red” and to wear red in their wardrobe as well as on their Facebook pages for the next couple days. Some feel this movement is passive and lagging in effectiveness. “This is just another form of passive activism that isn’t advancing the cause,” Brian Moylan, a writer for Vice Beta said. “Let’s all protest so hard we get arrested and then post our mug shots on our walls. That’s the kind of disturbance that will get us some real results.” Evan O’Connor, a Mass
Media student at Minnesota State University, Mankato and Social Media Co-Chair of Public Relations Student Society of America said the campaign doesn’t have as big of an impact as people would hope. “It calls people to the least amount of action, changing their Facebook profile picture for a period of time,” O’Connor said. “This is creating awareness of the event, not bringing people to action.” Jared Sinkula, a student at the University of Minnesota said he didn’t change his profile picture to change people’s minds; rather to simply to show his LGBT friends that he is an ally following the cases in the Supreme Court. “I don’t think Facebook activism changes very much, but

The MSSA meeting took place again this Wednesday, which was located outside of the usual room in the upper f loor of the Centennial Student Union and moved to the bottom f loor of the building, in order to provide a more open forum for discussion, as well as increase awareness of the Minnesota State University, Mankato student government. Issues covered in this week’s meeting included such topics as the possibility of bringing a marching band to campus, the proposed sports bubble, funding for The Reporter, as well as the issue of parking in the free lot. The meeting started of with Director of Facilities Services David Cowan speaking to MSSA about the difficulties the university is having with its parking services operating at a deficit. Cowan stated that the parking advisory committee has found, that to continue to have the free lot at MSU, it would require general funds from the school to cover around $25,000. As it currently stands,
general funds are comprised of two-thirds student fees and one-third state allocations. The model for general funds is used across the state. However, MSU is the only Minnesota State Colleges and Universities member that holds a free lot option on its campus. Debate raged on between the senators with many of them questioning how many people benefit from a free lot as well as Senator Nick Jirik stating that, to his knowledge, students don’t want a free lot. Students gathered overhead and in the gallery to listen as the recommendation of the advisory committee was shot down by the senate with their own recommendation to the parking advisory committee being to establish a $62 parking permit area to replace the free lot, as well as raise costs for other permits. The issue of ending funding for The Reporter was also presented to the student senate. A motion was brought forth to include the option for students to vote to end fund-

Americans conduct their daily lives out of habit – our tendencies are acquired through repetition and the desire to do what is easiest with the little time we have to spare. Time has become a valuable asset to Americans; with jobs being increasingly demanding, single parents having to work multiple jobs to support their families, not to mention keeping up with the social lives we maintain amongst the madness. At the end of the day, it may be impulse to grab a Mountain Dew for that great flavor and boost of caffeine, or munch on a bag of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos to satisfy your craving for that intensely flavorful crunch. What do these delicious products have in common? They’re synthetic - although this scenario may seem normal, the negative direction our country’s health is going raises suspicion that people are generally unaware of the consequences that many foods we consume propose. A presentation last week by MSU nutrition professor David Bissonnette raised awareness of a significant problem our country is facing that affects the health of our population, our kids, and our future: the prominence of synthetic foods in our generation’s food supply, particularly in the United States.
web photo
Bissonnette’s presentation dove into an explanation of how Americans have unintentionally adapted our food choices to the fast-paced generation we live in, a population highly influenced by the strategic marketing efforts of companies that produce foods with extreme flavors and addictive contents. He further noted that the
current pattern of behavior that we partake in is leading to a chronically ill nation. As a country that is the leader for worldwide obesity, studies have shown that soda, fast food, and many prepackaged foods serve as the driving forces behind the obesity crisis

SYNTHETICS continued from 7 currently faced by the United States. Synthetic foods are manufactured using advancements in technology, and mimic the appearance, smell, and taste of natural foods. Characteristics of synthetic food include chemicals such as pesticides, preservatives, food dyes, artificial flavorings, fake vitamins, and hormones that are cleverly listed under the ingredients of products many people consume daily. The issue the United States faces goes beyond the fact that synthetic foods are prominent in today’s society, in fact, our nation is facing an obesity and diabetes epidemic which makes sense due to the food we find readily available and the high-demand nature of the lives we live. Obesity is also tied to infertility in women, which may result in a decrease in population if this trend continues. “Our food habits are guided by taste sensations. We’re moving gradually away from wholesome food habits, which has put us on a path for chronic disease” Bissonnette explained. “People are thinking the foods they eat are real foods”. It might not be a person’s first inclination to investigate the food that they consume – after all, the government and the FDA protect us and appear to have the best interests of Americans in mind. The term “Synthetic” refers to food that truly is a product that we consume, but is not actually a food. Synthetic foods consume grocery store shelves, gas stations, school lunches, fast food joints, and are made readily available almost anywhere you go. According to Bissonnette, our tastes have been developed since a flavoring boom that started in the 1980’s. We’ve gone from the monotony of what an apple and orange taste like, to developing extreme flavors and taste sensations produced by synthetic processes. The population has become vulnerable to the messages and advertisements portrayed by food companies, and it’s no sur-
prise that the products continue to sell since they taste so good. This has resulted in a change in the eating habits of Americans, forming us into a “snacking nation,” as Bissonnette described. Unfortunately, the reality is that it isn’t easy to differentiate between what is okay to consume and what isn’t in a world that is highly influenced by the clever marketing efforts of companies that are in the game for profit. It’s clear that we’re facing an issue that is irreversible in some respects, but Bissonnette offered some suggestions for how we can contribute to positive change and better health. Cutting out pop, fast food, dessert, and checking out the contents in your food are key steps to a healthier lifestyle. Because of the addictive nature of many of the foods we’ve learned to love, many people will continue to consume even if they are aware of the proven health dangers and chronic diseases that could result. As long as we keep purchasing, companies will continue to make and sell these products and ruin our country’s health, all to make a buck. He continued to describe that if we continue to support synthetic products by consuming and purchasing them, we should expect to see health care prices hit the roof in upcoming years due to the massive increase in health issues. You can derive a flavor from almost anything, and the FDA allows us to call it “natural flavoring”. Chances are, if you see a product like popcorn that has dill flavoring or chips that taste like cheesy garlic bread and hot wings with ranch, they were synthetically made. Bissonnette advises that you take the time to inform yourself and become aware of the dangers of synthetic foods, since they are so prominent in our daily lives. Dietary habits are a personal choice, and being aware of what you consume has become increasingly important in this generation.

opinions on the effectiveness of the social media campaign, it has evidently become viral and has even passed over to the eyes of 13 Congress members who showcased the symbol, according to Ryan Beckwith, a political editor at Digital First Media’s Project Thunderdome. The movement not only hit home with individuals changing their profile pictures, but corporations and businesses are taking part in the campaign as well, such as Bud Light who loudly supports gay marriage, no matter what the “haters” say. The bold move for the company generated discussions on the photo from each side that mentioned either kicking the product out of their fridge, or buying two or three cases of Bud Light this weekend.

The senators had a long debate on the issue, with many of them questioning how many students, besides ones involved with music, would benefit from a marching band. Senator Jirik stated that it would be difficult to fund a marching band because the university is also currently in the midst of possibly constructing a sports bubble on campus, of which the feasibility study is expected to conclude at the end of the month. “There are times for growth,” said Jirik, shortly before the motion to include the band on the ballots failed. “Now is not that time.” Shortly afterward, the senate approved to allocate $150 dollars to fund the new bookshelf project, with Senator Sam Turner saying, “It’s not [yet] exclusively available to the public,” with the funds expected to make headway for the proposed program.

Allergies cause issues for college students too
web photo TIM FAKLIS
staff writer
Often times, spring can bring on a slew of emotions, triggered by a slew of different factors. As the weather begins to feel more and more comfortable, human migration back outdoors begins to make a steady turn as well. For some, however, spring time’s rising temperatures are a small victory in what otherwise
is a period where allergies are at their highest, and illnesses pass through at a much faster rate than other points in the calendar year. With spring right around the corner, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) has recently come out in support of schools stocking up on allergy medications, more so perhaps, than in past years. In a public release, in fact,
AAFA commended two Minnesota congressmen for a pair of bills that will help make that request a more likely scenario. State Rep. Ryan Winklerin, the Minnesota House of Representatives and Senator Charles Wiger brought forth dual bills that would, in theory, supply schools auto injectors for anaphylaxis-battling epinephrine, allow emergency injection in emergencies, as well as prop-
erly train school personnel and address any liability concerns there may be. “No one can predict how severe a food allergic reaction will be,” Charlotte Collins, vice president for policy and programs at AAFA, said in the press release. “It is essential for schools to prepare by stocking epinephrine, the life-saving medication for food allergy emergencies”. This medication is by far the main driving force behind their efforts to keep children and students of all ages healthy, and away from the allergies that come with the change of seasons. There is a fear, according to Collins, that if precautions aren’t taken quickly enough, that it may be too late, which is why it is especially important to get the medication out there as quickly as possible and to have as much of the injection medication as possible. “If a school does not have an epinephrine auto-injector onsite that staff can access at any time, a child may die waiting,” she said. According to the American
Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology, worldwide, sensitization rates to one or more common allergens among school children are currently approaching forty to fifty percent, and eight percent of children have a food allergy that the drug could cure instantly. 30.4 percent of food allergic children have multiple food allergies, and 38.7 percent of food allergic children have a history of severe reactions. Of all foods, peanut is the most common allergen among children in schools, followed by milk and then shellfish. This weekend’s forecast predicts temperatures in the 50s. It isn’t springtime in most locations, but Minnesotans will take it. Seasonal allergies are hard to cure, but food allergies, according to the AFAA, are not. Their near-demand to get schools to take action and get as much medication for allergic reactions as possible is what they are mainly focusing on, and as a result, it has brought on a pair of proposed bills brought on by Minnesota legislature. Not a bad start.

It’s Easter Time!
TRISH BJERKE
staff writer
E
aster is this Sunday and whether you celebrate it or not, you’ve noticed its impending ar-
rival: candy, baskets, that annoying Easter grass that ends up everywhere, and enough pastels to make it look like someone threw up the entire Peep factory. How did a four-legged mammal (the bunny, duh) become associated with the day that Jesus rose from
the dead (which, by the way, is the real reason for Easter)? The University of Florida’s Center for Children’s Literature and Culture says that the origin of the Easter Bunny happened in the 13th-century when people worshipped many different gods and goddesses. There was one goddess named Eostra. She was a moon goddess whose symbol was a rabbit. She represents the “sunrise, spring-time, fertility, and the renewal of life.” Easter actually was named for her, so she must have been pretty important. Those that worshipped her made offerings of colored eggs that they placed at graves as a charm of rebirth. In 15th-century Germany, Roman Catholicism merged with these pagan beliefs. As for the pastels, they symbolize rebirth and new growth and beginnings.
Probably something all of us could use. All of these wonderful European beliefs came to America when German immigrants lived in Dutch Pennsylvania. The first edible Easter Bunny was made in Germany in the early 1800s… … And it’s all gone downhill from there. Sometime between the first edible Easter Bunny and now, millions of chocolate bunnies have been produced. It’s as if are… well, you know… like rabbits: 90 million chocolate bunnies are made every year. Children from the past were told that if they behaved well, the rabbits would leave eggs for them. The alternative gift was not specified. Halloween obviously takes the candy on this one, but Easter is the second holiday to chow down on sweets. The National Confectioners’ Association said
that in 2001 Americans ate seven billion pounds of Easter candy. 16 million jelly beans are consumed every year. That’s a gut ache waiting to happen. Somehow, Easter has also turned into a magical season of word finds and crossword puzzles. Homework in middle school (and I even went to a Catholic school) was a word find with a mix of religious and nonreligious words. What’s the best way to catch a unique rabbit? You ‘nique up on him. How do you catch a tame rabbit? Tame way, unique up on it. Those were some lame jokes you can tell around the table. You can also grab multiple copies of The Reporter and give your family this word find to do. Hoppy Easter!

House of Cards: ‘G.I. Joe’ sequel back on mission Anything But Wobbly after 3-D delay
JAMES SCHUYLER HOUTSMA
staff writer
Politics are a slippery slope but an oh-so-fascinating one to witness. Netflix, a favorite of college students when it comes to bingeing entire seasons of TV programs in one run, has found that now it can be just as successful in creating content as they are in streaming others’. Their upcoming revival of the cult favorite Arrested Development is easily the biggest example, but their best work may have just arrived early in the form of House of Cards. After he is betrayed and denied the Secretary of State position he has pined for, U.S. House Majority Whip Francis Underwood breaks the rules to get revenge on the new president’s administration and manipulate them to his advantage, drawing an upcoming reporter and indulgent representative into his web of lies. An American adaption of the British series of the same name, House of Cards holds the distinguished title of David Fincher’s first TV series. The legendary director lends his appropriately cold and calculating tone to the seedy political undertones, but the series is ultimately about the characters. Kevin Spacey stars as Underwood and he owns every single second of screen time he has. Underwood is a viper – a snake in the grass if there ever was one - but is also so charismatic and relatable when
“The legendary director tends his appropriately cold and calculating tone to the seedy political undertones, but the series is ultimately about the characters.” he lays on that South Carolina charm that it’s almost impossible not to root for him. Or at least be drawn in, looking for that seething hatred he has bubbling under the surface and what manner he will use to unleash it on his foes. Spacey’s character routinely breaks the fourth wall to deliver his innermost thoughts to the audience and when he does you’re in for a treat, because it’s in these moments that he is given lines so perfect and villainously real they instantly put you on his side for better or worse. Whether the Emmys or another award group will recognize this series due to its broadcast status is not clear right now, but I tell you here it will be a crime if Spacey doesn’t take home all of the awards… all of them. Equally as terrific is Robin Wright as Underwood’s wife, Clair. Clair is more of an enigma, lacking in the entic-
ing charm Francis has but still delivering on the questionable motives and intents. Early in the series she is shown to be just as forceful, makes a very cold choice without any apologies, but through the course of the series you start to see where her loyalties lie, which throws your entire initial perception of her into doubt. It’s with strong characters like these and such a finelytuned teleplay by the writer of The Ides of March that this series puts itself among-and even sometimes above-the best of broadcast television, such as Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, and so on. From the end of episode one you simply cannot put the series down. The plot turns and progression of turmoil is dangerously addicting. All 13 episodes of House of Cards are on Netflix streaming for your bingeing pleasure. Welcome to Washington.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — G. I. Joe’s second big-screen mission was just about to begin last year when Paramount suddenly called the troops back to base, delaying the release of G.I. Joe: Retaliation by nine months to convert it to 3-D. The move came just weeks after another movie based on a Hasbro toy, “Battleship,” was torpedoed at the box office. Fans will soon find out if it was worth the wait: G.I. Joe: Retaliation opens Thursday. Though director Jon M. Chu always wanted to make the film in 3-D, learning of the delay a month before the film was set to open was initially crushing. “It’s kind of like running a marathon and you’re at the last leg and you’re exhausted and you’re right at the finish line ... and then someone trips you and says, ‘Oh, that’s not the line. That was just an illusion. It’s actually double the time,’” he said in a recent interview. “Literally your body aches.” It’s not unusual for movie debut dates to bounce around a bit before being buttoned down, as production schedules and competing releases are assessed. But lengthy, lastminute delays are rare. The studio had even begun some “G.I. Joe” advertising efforts when it announced the 3-D
delay last May. At the time, some speculated it wasn’t just about adding dimension, but also adding more of rising-star Channing Tatum, who was featured in 2009’s G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra but didn’t clock much screen time in the sequel. Yet the filmmakers insist they didn’t shoot any new footage for G.I. Joe: Retaliation, saving the stars from shuffling their schedules for more than a couple weeks of promotional appearances. Instead, Chu and his team spent their time solely on converting the film to 3-D, and they hope fans will be so dazzled by the effects that they’ll forgive the ninemonth wait. “We had to get in frame by frame and turn it into 3-D, which was a long, laborious task,” Chu said, “but ultimately I think it really helps our movie.” But will it be enough to bring fans into theaters? “Unfortunately, movies somehow get a stigma by moving (dates),” said producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura. “There’s also some people who go, ‘Oh, was that movie not good enough? Is that

NBC Not giving Matt Lauer the Boot
NEW YORK (AP) — A top NBC News executive said Wednesday the network is not considering replacing Matt Lauer as anchor of the “Today” show despite reports that Anderson Cooper of CNN was approached about the job. “Matt Lauer is the best in the business,” said Alex Wallace, NBC News executive who oversees the “Today” show. “We want him in the ‘Today’ show anchor chair for many years to come.” Wallace spoke after reports of a meeting with Cooper first appeared in Deadline Hollywood. The report was confirmed to The Associated Press by a source who spoke on condition of anonymity because the discussions were private and was not authorized to speak to the media. The longtime king of morning television, “Today” has fallen behind ABC’s “Good Morning America” in the ratings over the past year, particularly since the messy ouster of Ann Curry as Lauer’s co-anchor last summer. There has been a flurry of stories recently retracing that decision. Lauer has said he urged the network to move more slowly with its planned changes, but a New York magazine cover story this week suggested he didn’t like Curry and did little to help her. Whatever happened, it’s clear that many “Today” viewers who did not like what happened to Curry have taken their anger out on Lauer. In 2012, Lauer’s positive “Q’’ score was 23 — meaning 23 percent of people who knew him considered Lauer one of their favorite broadcasters, according to Marketing Evaluations Inc.,
a company that measures public sentiment toward well-known personalities. Last summer that score dropped to 14 and this month stands at 9, the company said. For the first time, George Stephanopoulos of “Good Morning America” has surpassed him. Among women, who make up the bulk of morning show audiences, Stephanopoulos is nearly twice as popular as Lauer and his “GMA” partner, Robin Roberts, is nearly three times as popular, the company said. Where in the world is Matt Lauer? Trapped in a vortex of bad vibes with no escape in sight. The approach to Cooper could mean that NBC has concluded that the time is right to actively work on replacing Lauer. Or not: his contract expires at the end of 2014 and it is widely assumed that Lauer will be ready then to move on from a job he’s held since 1997. Under those circumstances, a forward-looking management team would be expected to be looking at alternatives. “NBC News has many exploratory talks with talent inside and outside of the network, but to read anything specific into that is presumptuous,” said an NBC News executive who spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not allowed to discuss personnel moves. Lauer has talked about resetting “Today” to be more serious, with less emphasis on crime stories. NBC was criticized this week by advocates for sexual abuse victims because “Today” aired excerpts of an interview that filmmaker John Ziegler had with convicted Penn State
molester Jerry Sandusky; Lauer interviewed Ziegler on the air. Potential internal replacements for Lauer could include Willie Geist, who co-hosts the third hour of “Today” in addition to work on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” and “Meet the Press” anchor David Gregory. Both have subbed for Lauer when he was absent. The question for many in the television industry is whether the “Today” show can hope to change its fortunes with Lauer at the helm. “Today” hasn’t beaten “Good Morning America” for any week in the ratings since the Olympics last summer and with Roberts’ return after an illness in February, the gap between the two shows hit its widest. NBC says preliminary numbers show the two shows last week were as close as they’ve been since December and that “Today” frequently wins among youthful news viewers. “This awful, false narrative campaign against Matt has certainly made him vulnerable, but Matt is still, in my opinion, the best anchor who has ever occupied that chair,” said Shelley Ross, former executive producer at “Good Morning America” and “The Early Show” at CBS, where she competed against Lauer. She said she believed NBC’s competitors were helping to keep negative stories about Lauer alive. NBC was right to replace Curry but handled it badly, she said. The cyclical nature of television is also likely hurting Lauer. It’s a rare personality that stays beloved forever. Ross and others in the industry believe that Lauer’s latest contract, which reportedly pays him $25 million a year, drove a wedge between the anchor and viewers who no longer view him as a regular guy. Paul Friedman, a former news executive at ABC and CBS, also said Lauer is the best he’s seen in his role. But currently, ABC’s “Good Morning America” is a broadcast that provides viewers with information from personalities who appear to be enjoying what they’re doing, he said. “I don’t think the fuss in the press is what matters to viewers,” said Friedman, who teaches journalism at Connecticut’s Quinnipiac University. “What matters is what is seen on the air, and right now what’s on the air is a cast that doesn’t appear to enjoy themselves and what they’re doing — as they do at ‘Good Morning America.’”

why you guys pushed it?’ So you’ve got to work your way through some of that as well.” The producer had also hoped to make the film in 3-D originally, “but we didn’t have time to do it properly,” he said. Chu had two 3-D movies to his credit (“Step Up 3D” and the 2011 documentary “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never”), and expected to approach the G.I. Joe sequel three-dimensionally, too. Even though it was shot in 2-D, the director said he brought a 3-D sensibility to filming. “Depth is always part of my language now, only because I had to do it for the last four years. So every scene, even though it wasn’t in 3-D, depth was a part of the frame,” he said. “Of course, if I knew it was going to be 3-D, would I have done a couple things differently? For sure. But we wouldn’t have done (the conversion) if we didn’t look at the movie and think we have enough fun things in it to take advantage of 3-D.”
Among the dimensionalized fun? Jets that soar past moviegoers’ heads, and a high-flying fight among ninjas in the Himalayas. Fans online seem excited about “Retaliation,” which stars Dwayne Johnson and Bruce Willis, along with Tatum and others. The movie site Fandango.com reports positive Twitter buzz for the film, which is the only new action offering on a weekend when many students are on spring break. Also opening are Tyler Perry’s Temptation, the romance-adventure The Host and the crime drama The Place Beyond the Pines. Waiting for a spring debut may pay off for G.I. Joe if the 3-D improves the film, said Dave Karger, chief correspondent for Fandango. “The movie will have a harder time making summer money in late March,” he said, “but it stands a better chance to be well-received now if it’s a more of a crowd-pleasing film because of the 3-D.”

Maverick offense erupts in four-game sweep of Minnesota-Crookston to begin NSIC play The Minnesota State baseball team went off for 34 runs while only giving up two themselves to thoroughly wax the Golden Eagles of Minnesota-Crookston to start their NSIC schedule with a 4-0 record. REECE HEMMESCH
sports editor
After a successful spring break visit to Florida over where the Mavericks took seven of nine from superior competition, the Minnesota State University, Mankato baseball team returned to action over the last few days, sweeping conference foe Minnesota-Crookston in a four-game set at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis. The 11th-ranked Mavericks were equally impressive with their offense and pitching over the series, accumulating 34 runs off of 34 hits, while giving up just two runs in the final game. MSU started the series late Sunday night at the Dome and took the first day from the Golden Eagles by scores of 9-0 and 10-0 in eight innings. On the bump to begin the series was senior Harvey Martin for the Mavericks, who went the first five innings of the game, letting up just one base runner in 16 at-bats and striking out seven to improve his record to 2-0 on the season. Martin now sits with an unprecedented .45 ERA in his first four outings for the Mavericks. MSU tallied the bulk of

They would head into the third holding on to a 1-0 lead when junior Parker Sullivan led the hit brigade with a leadoff triple for MSU, followed by back-to-back doubles from junior Scott Lindner and sophomore Nolan Johnson. All three would score in the inning. The fourth inning was begun by Sullivan with a walk and a stolen base. He would score on a double steal later in the inning to boost MSU’s lead to 5-0 on the night, but they weren’t done yet. The inning was capped off by cleanup hitter Stetson Olson who sent one high above the “hefty bag” in right field for a two-run homerun, giving MSU the seven-run lead and putting the game away early. Sullivan, Olson and sophomore Connor McCallum led the charge for MSU in the game with all three earning two hits and an extra-base hit in the game. MSU would get RBIs from five different players as well, a great feat considering their struggling sticks earlier in the season.
Game two was once again dominated from start-to finish by MSU as they finished the night early, winning 10-0 in eight innings. The Mavs would only lead 4-0 heading into the eighth, but a six-run inning would put it away for good as MSU ended the day back on the winning path. Olson and McCallum once

deficit 2-1. In the fifth inning Concordia-St. Paul’s Alicia Meiser’s RBI double put them up 3-1. MSU fell short in the seventh inning only scoring one off of freshman Tatum Klein’s RBI single. MSU swings back into action Friday at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. as they host the University of Minnesota, Crookston Golden Eagles in the Savage Sports Center. The Golden Eagles’ overall record is 1-10, yet to play a NSIC game.

MSU basketball looks to bounce back in 2014 With just one senior leaving the squad from MSU’s 2013 championship run, the Mavericks should be prime to repeat as conference champions and make another run in 2013. nament and four wins later were crowned the NSIC tournament champions. After being ranked no. 1 in the Central region, the Mavericks got to play host for the NCAA Division II Central Region with conference rivals Upper Iowa, Winona State and Augustana also making the tournament. After blowing by the first two rounds with an 81-65 win over Arkansas Tech and beating Harding 86-65, the Mavericks advanced to the Central Region championship with just Winona State standing in the way. With two of the best division II teams squaring off at the Taylor Center, MSU students were treated well with just a $5 student ticket. Even after both teams battled hard for 40 straight minutes, it wasn’t enough. With the game clock sitting with three zeros, you could see both the Mavericks and Warriors showing some fatigue, but also desire. Even though the Mavericks didn’t see the final score they wanted, 76-73 in the Warriors favor, they fought hard and showed what
being a true Maverick is all about. One of the biggest reasons the 28-5 Mavericks were so successful this season was their depth. Their bench possessed four players who could start for any other Division II squads in Brown, junior guard Jimmy Whitehead, sophomore forward Zach Romashko and redshirt Jaymeson Moten. Throughout the season there were numerous games when the starters couldn’t get it going, but all Margenthaler had to do was send one of these four players in and they would provide that spark that would either keep the team in the game or push their lead to clinch the win. Monaghan knows this season was something special, and he is even more excited to see what next season brings. “I thought we had a very solid season especially after the team we had last year and I though we got this program right back where it needs to be. We have a lot to build on for next year.”

With some key acquisitions and all of the players making sacrifices for victories, the Minnesota State University, Mankato men’s basketball team improved from last season and finished their 2012-2013 campaign on a high note. After finishing 7-19 and 6-16 in the conference last season, the coaching staff knew it was time for some new blood and boy did they find it. The coaching staff, led by head coach Matt Margenthaler who just completed his 12th season at MSU, went out and brought in five key players who all had one thing on their mind winning. After sophomore point guard Zach Monaghan, senior guard Jarvis Williams, sophomore forward Assem Marei, junior guard Gage Wooten and sophomore guard Lucas Brown joined the squad, the winning demeanor was put back in to the program. “I think we had guys that bought into the big picture which was winning,” Monaghan said. “When you bring in a lot of guys like we did along with guys that have been here everybody is going to have to sacrifice minutes and points in order to be successful, and I thought we
did that as a unit.” The program knew they were on to something special as soon as the season started as they started the 2012-2013 campaign with six straight wins while taking home the gold out in California at the Sonoma State Tournament. Right before winter break the Mavericks suffered their first loss of the season with a 61-60 upset by the Upper Iowa Peacocks, but all that did was pump up the Mavericks so much they went on to win their next 10 games. With already nine more wins than last season, the squad put together wins against Augustana, St. Cloud State and Concordia, who the Mavericks were swept by last season. After losing for the second time in a 82-79 contest against Augustana, the Mavericks would finish out their regular season 6-2 routing them to a 18-4 conference record making them the NSIC regular season champion for the second time in three years. As the Mavericks were the best scoring team in the NSIC with 79.4 points per game, they also had a knack of cleaning the glass with a conference leading 9.3 rebounding margin as they brought down 38 rebounds a game. Once the regular season came
to an end, three mavericks were honored to an all-conference team. Both Monaghan and Marei were named to the All-NSIC Second-Team while Williams not only was named to the first team, but he was also named the NSIC Defensive Player and Newcomer of the Year. While Monaghan tallied 11.8 points a game, he led the NSIC with 5.58 assists a game and 2.27 steals a game. Marei was the big man down low for the Mavericks as he finished 17th in the conference in scoring (13.6 ppg) and fifth in rebounding (7.3 rebounds per game). The lone senior Williams came in for one season and as soon as he stepped on the court in the Taylor Center the school knew they were going to see something special this season. With a team leading 14.5 ppg, Williams was also their go-to guy on defense and night in and night out, Williams was paired with the opposition’s best wing player and not to mention the guy could jump out of the gym. “Jarvis was huge for us this year. He did a lot of things that put us in great positions to win games. You don’t see an athlete like that every day,” Monaghan said. With their conference best 18-4 record, the Mavericks were the no. 1 seed in the NSIC tour-

NCAA basketball full of madness in 2013
Unknown players rising into stardom, buzzer beaters and upsets galore means only one thing: it must be March. With two rounds down and just two to go until the final four, sports writer Tim Faklis takes a look at what hs happened so far in the NCAA tournament. TIM FAKLIS
staff writer
Fun fact: the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles basketball team has as many wins in the city of Philadelphia (2) as the Philadelphia Eagles had all season. Now that 90 percent of America has experienced the pain and hardship that comes with a busted bracket, and only 16 teams remain in the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament, it becomes much simpler for fans and spectators to sit back and watch the games simply for the personal enjoyment college hoops brings. The big story thus far is yet another Cinderella story, with this year’s team being the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles and their run to the Sweet Sixteen. A school that formed in 1997, this is FGCU’s first bid into the NCAA tournament. They started by beating sophomore sensation Otto Porter and his 2-seeded Georgetown Hoyas, followed up by a double-digit victory over San Diego State, a 7 seed in the tournament. FGCU is the first 15seed to make it past the second round, and they’re hoping to make even more history as the tourney continues. The only other set of upsets would have to come from the West bracket. Where most people expected Gonzaga to face off with either Wisconsin or Kansas State, neither will be the case. After Ole Miss beat Wisconsin, LaSalle took out KState in the first round, and Wichita State was able to oust Gonzaga in round two, that Sweet Sixteen section took a turn that nobody saw coming. It will consist of the Wichita State Shockers against the LaSalle Explorers. Anyone who claims they had that portion of their bracket correct is lying and should be punished. Past that, nothing too unexpected has taken place so far. Every top seeded team, excluding Gonzaga
remains in the tournament and every 2 seed, excluding Georgetown, remains as well. At this point, the West is Ohio State’s for the taking. After a huge shot by Aaron Craft to barely oust Fred Hoiberg’s Iowa State team, they remain the highest seed in their region by a mile. In fact, the next highest seed remaining in that section is the team they’ll be playing next – the 6-seeded Arizona Wildcats. If the Buckeyes are able to get past that, it will make life much easier for them en route to what they hope can be a Final Four run. The East is much more competitive. All the top seeds have won their games to this point. Victor Oladipo and Indiana will face off against Michael CarterWilliams and Syracuse. On the other end of the East, Miami will face off against Marquette. That’s teams 1-4. For fans who want the highest talent level remaining in the tournament, they should be tuning into these games. The Midwest and South brackets were extremely
close to getting their top 4 teams to advance as well, but saw one major upset in each pool. The South bracket saw the aforementioned Florida Gulf Coast squad, and in the Midwest, 12-seeded Oregon was able to sneak by Oklahoma State and Saint Louis. These games were essentially home games for the Ducks, played in San Jose, CA. With only sixteen teams remaining, it’s becoming more clear that this year’s final four, while not guaranteed, is very likely to feature many of the favorites coming into the tournament. Louisville, Indiana, Duke, Ohio State, Miami, and Kansas all remain. It’s hard to imagine a world where less than three of those schools won’t make their way into the tournament and ultimately to the big dance, but that’s the beauty of this contest. Crazy things happen every year. Remember George Mason? It could happen again. Who knows?

MSU Baseball
closer than MSU expected as Crookston hurler Jon Mittag silenced the Mavericks for the first half of the game, no-hitting MSU until midway through the fifth inning. MSU’s Tyler Ockuly would throw himself right in the middle of a pitchers’ duel with Mittag, shutting out the Golden Eagles through six, with three hits given up and 11 strikeouts. MSU got their offense going in the fifth with backto-back singles coming from freshman Taylor Branstad and junior Todd Standish to score seniors Cory Glieden and John Flattery to give MSU a 2-0 lead. The Mavs would get a little insurance the following inning with senior Lucas Skjefte leading off the sixth with a double and later scoring on a fielder’s choice. Senior side-armer Mahlon Zimmermann would come in for the seventh to close the door on Crookston as MSU took game three, 3-0. In their final bout of the two-day series, the Mavericks went back to blowing out the Golden Eagles with a 12-2 victory in seven innings. MSU pounded on the ball in game four with a solo shot in the second from Skjefte, a three-run double in the third from junior Mike Andries and an inside the park homerun from Olson in the fourth. Andries would tally six RBIs in this one to lead MSU to victory, as Crookston had no chance for a win in this one. Crookston received their
continued from 15 lone two runs of the series in the fourth inning off of MSU junior Bryce Bellin, who relieved started TJ Larson in the fourth inning. Larson fave up no hits or runs in his three innings from the start, but would walk three and strike out six in the process as MSU ended the series with a tenrun victory. The four wins now put MSU at a 15-4 record on the season and a 4-0 NSIC record Crookston remains winless on the season at 0-17 after the disappointing weekend. Olson’s three-homerun weekend earned him his first-time honor of NSIC player of the week as he now leads MSU in batting average (.368), home runs (3), RBIs (15) and slugging (.579). It may not have been against the best competition in the NSIC, but the fourgame set with Crookston was the perfect tune-up for the rigorous conference schedule MSU will have to face in the next month. MSU will next be in action this weekend as they head to Rapid City, S.D. for a fourgame series with Northern State. The doubleheaders will begin Friday at 1 p.m. and Saturday at 11:30 a.m. Northern State comes into the bout with a 7-7 overall record after falling twice to division-1 North Dakota State last weekend.
