Tobacco ban:

necessary or harmful?

New policy leaves officials stumped for enforcement ideas MEGAN KADLEC

news editor

After months of whispered rumors floating around campus, the tobacco-free news is finally here. President Richard Davenport sent out a campuswide email Tuesday about Minnesota State University, Mankato’s revised Tobacco Policy.

As of Jan. 1, tobacco use will be prohibited on all University property and in University owned or leased vehicles. The policy bans all tobacco use, including smokeless tobacco.

Students currently living in the residence halls will still be allowed to use tobacco outside of their residence halls, however this exception to the rule will be revoked as of May 15, 2012 after spring semester ends.

The policy came into effect after the Minnesota State College and University Board of Trustees strongly encouraged MnSCU institutions to reduce tobacco use on campuses across the state.

“It’s bigger than just the University. It’s state and local stuff that has driven us to this point,” said MSSA President Matt Lexcen.

After 30 years of health professionals destroying the image of smoking, MnSCU and the University has been forced to face the public pressure and make the switch to tobaccofree.

“After the next five years,

there probably isn’t going to be a tobacco-friendly campus in Minnesota,” Lexcen said.

Restaurants and other public locations have already gone smoke-free, and non-profit organizations have put extreme pressure on public universities to go smoke-free too.

Over the past year, MSU officials have discussed transitioning to a tobacco-free campus and made the final decision after consulting with student and bargaining unit leadership.

Lexcen said that because MSU is a public institution and receive state funding, the University is forced to comply with state regulations and recommendations.

Because the policy has recently come into effect, the University is unsure as to how they are going to enforce the tobacco ban.

“All members of the campus community are empowered and encouraged to approach and advise violators, in a nonconfrontational manner, of the campus smoking policy,” as stated in the official University Tobacco Policy.

Lexcen said enforcement is going to be a difficult, long process but the University hopes to change campus culture in order to deter smokers.

Incoming students will know MSU is a tobacco-free campus.

University officials hope the culture will change and eventually it won’t be a problem anymore.

“The one thing that would

stop me from smoking would be for someone to tell me a joke and make me feel legitimately bad about what I’m doing,” Lexcen said.

Lexcen said that there probably won’t be any major changes during spring semester, or even throughout the next academic year.

“It’s all baby steps,” Lexcen said. “There isn’t a best practice on how to do this stuff which makes this difficult.

Geographic location has a large impact on the effectiveness of the ban. Because MSU is so spread out, it’s difficult for students to walk across campus between classes or during their break at work.

Lexcen is not only worried about enforcement, but also the negative impact the ban could have on properties surrounding campus. Highland Hills and University Square may become smoker’s hangouts, and the University doesn’t wish to impose large groups of smokers or mounds of cigarette butts on these properties.

As a part of the transition, MSU will begin offering health information and awareness services to students, faculty and staff. Grant funds will be provided by Blue Earth County Public Health using State-Wide Help Improvement dollars to support an awareness campaign.

“We’re fine owning it.

We’re going to do it. It’s happening. But explaining how we’re going to do it is difficult,” Lexcen said.

If you haven’t heard that Minnesota State University, Mankato is going to become tobacco-free, you’ve probably been hiding under a rock. The new policy will affect not only students, but faculty and staff for years to come. The MSU Reporter editors have decided to sound off on the ban, discussing our thoughts, concerns and questions.

KYLE RATKE Here’s what kyle has to say.

MEGAN KADLEC:

I’ll be honest with you, I’ve smoked my fair share of cigars over the past few years, but I’m not a big advocate for either side of the tobacco ban.

I’m sure smokers are going to be pissed, but in a lot of ways, the transition to a tobacco-free campus makes sense in the larger context of society.

The only thing I don’t understand is how they’re going to enforce it. I’d hate to be the guy who has to walk up to someone and tell them they can’t smoke on campus.

That would be an awful job.

LEE HANDEL:

I am not a smoker, but I simply do not see the need for this ban.

Even though this is a direct result of the times we live in, the new policy is going to cause more harm than good.

My immediate concerns with the ban involve academics, surprisingly. I think the smoking crowd is made up of strong-willed people who have already shown they won’t show up if they can’t smoke.

Look at the smoking ban in restaurants and bars that went

into effect years ago. Numerous establishments went under because smokers and the business they brought disappeared, and I’m worried MSU students who smoke will come to campus less than usual because of this ban. Lower attendance equals lower grades.

Having a cleaner campus is great, but this campus is already dead enough during those cold winter months and this ban will make matters worse.

BRIAN ROSEMEYER:

Progressive. That’s the key word in this whole anti-tobacco craze among college campuses in America.

Marketability and a thirst for increased enrollment means that universities need to closely monitor and follow trends among their peers.

If most campuses are switching to “green” toilet paper and dryerase markers, you can bet those remaining are scrambling to do so too. You can also bet that the tour guides are reminded to show it off.

This decision isn’t one of student majority, student concern or student moral. This is a marketability issue. If they can boast on how “forward moving” they are about something, they will step on anybody’s toes to do so.

Minnesota State University, Mankato; Hell Yeah We’re Smoke Free! (If that’s what’s in.)

Save Pell

MSSA President Matt Lexcen discusses his recent trip to Washington D.C., the Pell Grant and why it’s important

Good morning. Or afternoon.

Whatever time it is - what’s up? Hope Homecoming treated you swell. I just got back from Washington, D.C., and the reason I write this is as follows: Last week, I was out lobbying Congress on behalf of the Pell Grant, Federal Stafford Loans and financial aid accessibility in general. MSUSA—our statewide student association comprised of the seven four-year state universities—State Chair Amanda Bardonner, Winona Student Senate President Jack Linehan and myself headed out there last Tuesday.

One reason I went was partly because other MSUSA officers couldn’t attend; another is that I’ve received the Pell for nearly the entirety of my collegiate career. And, when I was asked to come along, that made sense to me. Bring a kid that’s received the Grant to put a real face to the situation. Got it. Made sense.

I can advocate for that.

What compounded and completely aggravated the situation was that I woke up “wanna-bein-bed” sick the Tuesday we left.

So, for the first day of meetings, there was a teary, bloodshoteyed guy in the corner – the poor, state-school product, here to talk about the significance the Pell Grant has had on his post-secondary pursuits. The others I was with

would remind each legislativeaid we spoke with, amidst what felt like parading me about, that I was the President at Minnesota State University, Mankato – an attempt to salvage some dignity. I can assure you, their reassurance did nothing for my self-esteem.

Regardless, it was an awesome experience. For information’s sake, we met with everyone except Michelle Bachman – I’ll leave it to you to figure out how that happened. And surprisingly enough, everyone seems to be fighting to keep it.

At what cost? We’ll see.

If you receive the Pell, you might know the current maximum eligibility is $5,550/year.

Back in July, proposed cuts would limit that maximum to $3,150/year. That seems to be off the table with the Continuing Resolution passed last week.

Just to highlight the scope of the Pell — for those who don’t receive it — 137,000 recipients studied in Minnesota during the 2009-2010 academic year totaling more than $464,000,000 dollars.

The newest proposal suggests to keep the maximum award while adding a handful of caveats, limiting eligibility across the board. Caveats would include upping “full-time” status to 15 credit hours (as opposed to 12), limiting eligibility from nine years to six years, decreasing the earning amount of those eligible, and by eliminating eligibility altogether for half-time students.

So, if you receive the Pell, I need your help. Well, WE need your help. Shoot me your story.

Be as brief or as detailed as you like. If you’re bold, I can be reached at matthew.lexcen@ mnsu.edu.

Keep it classy, Mavericks.

MSSA talks Homecoming, teaching consultants ALLISON MATTHEWS

staff writer Students were abuzz with Maverick pride at Minnesota State Student Association’s Wednesday meeting.

Impact Homecoming Chair Kelsey Busch spoke about the success of this year’s Homecoming Week.

IMPACT was allocated $62,500 for Homecoming.

IMPACT used that money to bring in unique events like the Illusionist Reza and Every Avenue.

Both events drew crowds of more than 1,000 people.

Blakeslee Stadium saw its biggest crowd of 7,011 spectators at

Saturday’s football game.

“Thanks for making the week amazing,” Busch said.

Students Consulting on Teaching is looking for students to give professors input about courses through consultations and student interviews.

The paid position gives students the opportunity to lend their ideas for course improvement. Each consultant works with 2-3 classes per semester.

“It’s designed to give teachers more in-depth feedback,” said SCOT representative Brett Biebel.

Biebel said to contact the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning Director Stewart Ross

President Lexcen spoke about his trip to Washington D.C. last week with MSUSA. He congratulated MSSA for all the work it does to help make MSU recognizable.

“Just know that the work we do here, on campus, in the community, at the state level and now, nationally, is being noticed,” Lexcen said.

Lexcen said other state schools gave MSSA’s ‘internship engine’ rave reviews at the MSUSA conference.

“We’re not at all done, but we’re doing some truly amazing things.”

Dooher’s big day lifts Mavericks to win in nonconference finale The junior forward notched three goals in MSU’s 7-0 rout of the University of Sioux Falls.

JOEY DENTON

staff writer

It was just another day at the office for the Minnesota State, Mankato women’s soccer team as it trampled the University of Sioux Falls Cougars 7-0 on Tuesday.

It didn’t take long for the Mavericks to take the lead, as junior forward Nicole Dooher scored the first of her three goals at the 12:30 mark in the game.

Junior defender Lauren Somers and junior midfielder Cassie Weik were credited with assists off the corner kick.

About two minutes later, the Mavericks scored again off a corner kick, but sophomore midfielder Ashley Sykora didn’t need any help as she hooked a corner kick into the back of the net.

Dooher took off after that, scoring two goals in a five-minute span. She scored at the 21:11 mark off a pass from freshman midfielder Ashley Harlan, her second assist of the season. Minutes later, Dooher scored again on a header off a corner kick by Weik, giving her a hat trick just 26 minutes into the game.

“It was exciting. I wasn’t

really expecting it at all. We started off kind of slow and then when we turned up the pressure, the goals just came,” said Dooher. “We had some set pieces and some height over them, so that helped.”

Already leading 4-0, the Mavericks were not even done scoring in the first half. At the 44:29 mark, Somers scored her first goal as a Maverick off a pass from freshman midfielder Laura May, her first collegiate assist.

With a lead of 5-0 at the half, the Mavericks already outshot the Cougars 24-1, and that one shot against was the angela kukowski • msu reporter first shot the Mavericks had Junior Lauren Somers (20) attempts a header Tuesday afternoon in the Mavericks’ 7-0 win over the University of allowed in two games.

MSU heads to Cloud town with warrant for Traveling Training Kit

The Mavericks-Huskies rivalry adds a new chapter in St. Cloud this Saturday when the two NSIC powerhouses battle for the Kit, which MSU has not possessed for two years.

TIGE HUTCHESON

staff writer

Disregard the Minnesota State, Mankato football team’s perfect Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference record. Disregard the fact that nothing would halt the Mavericks’ momentum nearly as much as a loss to St. Cloud State would. Disregard the fact that the Huskies are seen as one of the Mavericks biggest threats of winning the NSIC, and forget about the Traveling Training Kit, the series trophy that has been in St. Cloud since MSU’s last win in 2008.

As if there wasn’t already enough on the line for the MSU football team as it tries to upset the No. 18 St. Cloud State Huskies, there’s a little extra motivation this week: a loss in St. Cloud would be contrary to “The Maverick Way.” “The Maverick Way” is the very foundation of MSU’s football team. Displayed proudly in the locker room and on the doors

to the coaches’ offices, “The Maverick Way” is made up of nine pillars: Team before yourself; respect all fear none; be committed to excellence; represent with class; be a competitor; support one another; be accountable and responsible; and trust the football family.

The final pillar is just three simple words that have the potential to either haunt or define MSU’s season: Beat St. Cloud.

“I’m definitely new to the rivalry, but I’ve heard about it and there’s definitely a lot of bad blood there so we’re definitely looking forward to that,” said MSU junior linebacker Marcus Hall-Oliver.

The Huskies are more than just opponents or adversaries. When MSU takes on St. Cloud State, it’s personal, and head coach Todd Hoffner isn’t shy about calling them exactly what they are to his team: archrivals.

“For us to go up there and compete in a conference game

UP NEXT St. Cloud State When: 1 p.m. Saturday Where: St. Cloud, Minn. on the road against our archrival will be very difficult, so we’re going to do everything that we can to prepare for a quality team,” Hoffner said.

St. Cloud will be the toughest road game so far this season for the Mavericks. As if preparing for such a talented squad wasn’t already hard enough, playing on the road in such a hostile environment is another challenge that there’s really no way to prepare for.

“It’s very hard competing on the road. Hopefully we’ll stay focused and keep doing the things that we need to do, but it’s hard.

The comfort level is gone and you still have to compete at a high level,” said Hoffner. “Competing on the road is not easy.”

The Mavericks will have their work cut out for them on both sides of the ball, especially on defense, as MSU will try to get after one of the most respected quarterbacks in the conference: Phillip Klaphake. “[Klaphake] is a football junkie, so they definitely have a very good man leading the charge for them and they’re having a lot of success,” said Hoffner. “Their offense is very dynamic and last year they moved the ball fairly well against us, so this year we’ll have to do what we can to slow down their charge.”

Klaphake threw for 205 yards and three touchdowns in last season’s 31-17 St. Cloud victory, adding insult to injury by ruining MSU’s Homecoming.

But Klaphake certainly isn’t the only one responsible for St. Cloud’s charge. Running backs Brandon Geiss and Chad Peterson are both explosive backs that are capable of racking up big yardage.

On the other side of the ball,

St. Cloud’s pass defense is among the worst in the NSIC (238.8 yards per game), but is led by Tony Kubes and Marvin Matthews, who make up one of the better secondaries in the conference despite the misleading numbers.

Kubes was named NSIC Defensive Player of the Week in Week 3 and leads the Huskies in tackles (7.7 per game), while Matthews is second on the team in tackles (6.2 per game) and is tied for first in the NSIC with seven passes defended.

On paper, the Huskies have enough talent to make them very difficult to match up with, especially on the road.

“They’re tough. They’ve got a very talented team and it’s going to be a big challenge for us,” said Hoffner.

But there’s nothing stopping MSU from crossing one of its biggest goals off the list this weekend with a victory over SCSU; all they need to do is go in and take it.

Ten Ways to KILL Time on Campus The Library

may seem like an obvious one, but 4.)

1.) thereThisis largely untapped and exciting potential

in the three-story mammoth that sits in the center of campus.

The MSU Library has thousands and thousands of books from poetry, to governmental documents, to short stories, to epic novels and even your favorite magazines back catalogued. Whatever your interest, it is possible for you to lose yourself deep in this literary goldmine and maybe even miss your next class doing it.

The library also offers movies, that’s right, movies. All sorts of films from popular and the classic genres to documentaries and art pieces. You can screen the films right then and there if you ask kindly enough.

And there is never any shame in enjoying a good children’s book.

The Library features microfiche. What’s microfiche?

It’s an outdated means of storing and filing magazines and other documents throughout an impressive period of time.

You look at them on magnifying view-boxes, and they provide for hours of entertainment. Ask the librarians for help.

Trafton Sci-Cen

2.)

A fascinating and enriching experience can be yours by simply walking through the halls of the Trafton science building.

Dotted along the corridors are a number of wonderful displays with great presentations and fact sheets. The wonders of the science world are portrayed and examined behind many glass cases. You can see the disappearing pig trick, learn about the mysteries of the universe, build a greater understanding of physics, and broaden your nerdly base of knowing through colorful and exciting pieces of modern exploration.

Art galleries

3.)

MSU has a rich and forward moving arts program. The depth and range of the art department splashes over into two rotating galleries on campus. In Nelson Hall you can stop in and see the beauty of the Conkling Gallery. The Conkling features multiple artist showcases that change every couple of weeks or so. The mediums and the styles are never the same, and there is always something new and intriguing in the free gallery. The second gallery is in the bottom level of the CSU. This gallery frequently exhibits student-made art. It serves as an insight into what students at MSU are doing in photography, sculpture, painting and film.

Everyday you can see them. They clog the couches in the CSU. They take up all the computers in the ACC on their Facebooks. They walk around blankly, cells phone ticking out irrelevant and unimportant text messages, with an isolated look across their lonely visages. These are students, you know some of them, you’ve seen them in lecture halls, you’ve watch them do keg stands, and now they are whittled down to a lifeless shell of youth and boredom. These, are kids waiting in between classes.

Inevitably, when scheduling a 14-18 credit semester, there is going to at least one window of two, three, maybe four hours where you don’t have a class. And going home for that period of time is a pointless effort to wile out the day. Minnesota State University, Mankato’s campus isn’t devoid of interesting and engaging ways to fill the void in your schedule.

This is your guide to bridging the painful gap when none of your friends are around, you did all your homework, and you just want to get through your last class of the day.

Here, offered to you, are ten methods to battle the crippling boredom.

serenity

There is nothing better to explore than ones self.

The MSU campus has a lot of really slick places to lose yourself within. At our age life is wracked with all sorts of worries and doubts. Our futures are coming down on us fast, and that can get tiresome. The fountain in the center of the mall is a fantastic place, but an obvious one. The cascading water is hypnotizing, and introspective. Another great, and less used, option is the coy pond on the other side of the CSU building. The serene oasis has bright colored little fishes, lily pads, and a nice water feature. Usually there is no one back there and you can post up on a rock, let your strife sink.

5.)

PA pianos

If you need to blow off some frustration you have to check out the bottom level of the Performing Arts Center.

In the lower hallway you will find an entire row of practice rooms, the majority of them containing pianos. Even if you don’t know how to play, a piano is an accessible and creative way to work through your stresses. The pianos are open to anyone, and you don’t even need to sign up. They are in private rooms with doors, so even if you just need somewhere to be alone, you have it. I’ll be you can probably still remember at least some of “Chop Sticks.” But if you don’t, and you can’t handle the cacophony of your own musical shortcomings, you can always sit and listen to the accomplished musicians who frequent the practice spaces, simply beautiful.

6.)

Hey! art!

Aside from the killer galleries, there is literally art all over campus. The best way to go about viewing it is by simply walking around; all over the place, in places you’ve never needed to be before. Highlights include the sunlit hallway of Nelson (by the ceramics studios), behind the Trafton Center (for great sculpture), and in the lobby of the PA building. The art is everywhere, and almost all of it is good. You just have to go find it (which is fun in itself).

7.)

read all about it

Scattered around everywhere are flyers, newspapers, magazines, handouts, girls’ diaries, and other bits of stuff to look into. You can get up with your news with a free copy of The Wall Street Journal from Armstrong Hall, second floor. You can purpose the world of modern commerce with a number of business journals in Morris Hall. You can find all about what’s going on around campus on one of the many bulletin boards; giving you suggestions for fun and free activities both on- and off-campus.

Walk into any of the different departments offices and you can find all sorts of crazy literature as it pertains to that field of study. Or hey, if you’re really desperate, you can always grab a copy of The Reporter.

look at all the people

8.)

One of the world’s oldest, and best activities.

People watching is a vicarious way of observing the most interesting species on the planet. MSU especially is a fantastically diverse, and sometimes strange, university. A fun game is watching certain people throughout the years. Sometimes you see that kid who was all emo when you first saw him freshman year, then he was all artsy, and then he was all hipster, and now he’s fatter and balding. Any bench or any spot on the grass instantly turns into a real life soap opera. Bonus days happen when you see some really good boyfriend-girlfriend fights on Mondays; the weekends always tear people apart.

The gym

9.)

Not much is needed to be said about it. You know you should go. It’s free. Come on it’s right there. They have spent a lot of time and money building an incredible workout facility for us students. Use it, you’ll feel good.

Suyematsu

10.)

Another fine staple of the Performing Arts Center is the Kiyo Suyematsu Music Library.

Located on the first floor of the PA, the library has shelves and shelves of music, all itching to jump down your ear-holes. You can rent, or listen on the spot. They have all genres, on most every format imaginable. And if there’s that one record that you can’t seem to find at any other place around town, chances are old Suyematsu’s got it. A personal favorite; a collection of Woody Guthrie’s best work, on vinyl. Yeah, they got a record player there.

And yeah, you can use it.
