HANNAH KLEINBERG Staff Writer Tomorrow and Thursday, Minnesota State University’s annual Career and Internship Expo will be taking place. The Expo has been happening for over 15 years, and every year it helps students find a foothold in their future. The Expo will be in the CSU Ballroom from 9:30 A.M. to 2:30 P.M. on both days. Registration isn’t required. Assistant Director for Student Activities Gregory Wilkins is excited for the event. “It’s a great opportunity to meet future employers and potential internships for next spring and summer,” Wilkins said. He spoke of how in his college career those internships were essential in the success that followed his graduation. He told
of how months were spent planning his next move, and every summer he’d have an enviable internship lined up, thanks to events like the Career and Internship Expo. The Career and Internship Expo is an event that features employers offering jobs and internships. The employers come and give their information as well as connect to those who are interested. The expo gives students a chance to explore their options and navigate the possibilities. Both days of the fair are open to students of all majors, however both days will be geared toward different focuses.

MSU student arrested on drug charges in Crawford Residence Hall Freshman arrested after attempting to sell a gram of cocaine to an informant. SAM WILMES News Editor A Minnesota State University, Mankato student has been charged with two felonies for allegedly conducting drug sales from his dorm room. Jason Guillaume Marshall, 18, of Nashotah, Wisc., was arrested after an agent reported listening to a conversation in which an informant had arranged to buy a gram of cocaine worth $100. The bust began when an informant told a Minnesota River Valley Drug Task Force agent last month
INSIDE:
that a student was selling drugs from room D323 in the Crawford Residence Hall. The sting continued when an agent met with the informant on Monday the 7th, showing him a picture of Marshall’s Wisconsin drivers license. According to the criminal complaint, the informant had told the agent Marshall was the drug supplier, according to the criminal complaint, filed in the Blue Earth County District Court. Strong odors, detected as marijuana by the agent were detected when the agent entered the dorm room.
When the informant and agent entered the room, they informed Marshall that they were there to buy a gram of cocaine for $100. According to the affidavit, Marshall then pulled a bag of cocaine from a pocket in a shoe and used his knife to measure a gram. After that he put the content in another bag. Marshall had a larger supply than the amount he attempted to sell to the agent- it is estimated that the amount attempted to sell was only a third of the amount he had. According to the com-
plaint, with the cocaine in the bag, the bag weighed almost two grams. Officials obtained a search warrant on Tuesday the 8th and the search occurred later that day. When investigators arrived, Marshall was not there- but someone was. Officials contend that while there the person there received a text message from the defendant, questioning whether the police were looking for him. Upon Marshall’s arrival to the room, he was arrested. According to a Mankato Free Press article, investigators found nearly $600 in cash in

Marshall’s wallet, including $20 that had been used in the sting. Other drugs were also found in Marshall’s room. Investigators found stamps they suspect were laced with LSD, baked goods possibly containing marijuana and a suspected drug ledger were also removed from the room. Marshall was charged on the 10th with one count of third-degree drug sales and one count of fifth-degree drug possession. His bail was set at $2,000, provided that he follow several provisions, including to stay away from the MSU campus. ED/OP
