TUESDAY NOVEMBER 3, 2015

“Middle Eastern Cruise” makes its way to the CSU INSIDE Middle Eastern food and entertainment will be the focus on Saturday.

YUSEONG JEON Staff Writer The Middle Eastern Student Association (M.E.S.A) at Minnesota State University, Mankato will host a Middle Eastern cultural event called ‘Middle Eastern Cruise’ on Saturday, Nov. 7, from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Centennial Student Union Ballroom.

The International Student Association (ISA) at MSU hosts four signature nights that represent different regions and cultures around the world every year, and the Middle Eastern Night, one of the biggest cultural events on campus, will take place this fall semester.

The Middle Eastern Cruise will represent different cultural foods and entertainment from the Middle East.

Traditional Middle Eastern cultural performances will be featured, and participants will also have the opportunity to try free henna tattoos during the event.

“The main purpose of the event is to raise cultural awareness of the Middle East to people on campus and also the Mankato community members,” said Salma Abdelhamid, president of M.E.S.A. “I am trying as hard as possible to represent all the countries in the Middle East. For example, we have 200 Saudi Arabians on campus but only 10 Egyptians. So I am trying to balance the different cultures of those countries to showcase diversity of the Middle East.”

According to Abdelhamid, all board members of M.E.S.A brainstormed and came up with the theme of the event, ‘Middle Eastern Cruise.’ The emcees of the event are going to be captains of a cultural ship, ‘Middle Eastern Cruise,’ and they will be taking the guests into the cruise to let

them experience the different cultures of the Middle East.

The Middle Eastern cultures include a lot of countries such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Bahrain, Cyprus, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, Syria, etc.

“The event is very important because not a lot of people know what countries are part of the Middle East.

In fact, many people think the Middle East represents one same culture, but we are different in many ways.

Although we do share somethings in common, we have many distinct cultures,” Abdelhamid said.

“We also want to show people what our cultures are really about. I expect the night to be successful. All members of the association and I worked hard on it, so I hope all people will have fun at the event. I am confident that people will have new and fun experience,” she continued.

The menu of the foods will be comprised of different national cuisines from many countries in the Middle East.

All students, staff and faculty members along with the general public are invited to the event. Tickets for the event can be purchased for $8 in advance at MavAve at CSU or online at http://www. mnsu.edu/international/isa/ involve/, or for $10 at the door.

The mission of M.E.S.A. is to act as an adhesive tool to unite student, alumni, faculty, and staff at Minnesota State University Mankato who are of Middle Eastern descent or have an interest in the culture.

For more information about the event, please contact the president of the Middle Eastern Student Association Salma Abdelhamid at salma.abdelhamid@mnsu. edu or vice president Mohammed Al-Baloushi at mohammed.al-baloushi@mnsu. edu.

KMSU Radio’s Fall 2015 Pledge Drive underway

NICOLE SCHMIDT News Editor Thanksgiving and the soon-approaching Christmas season often herald in a time of giving, and for noncommercial radio stations like KMSU Radio that rely on the generous donations from others, the season of giving means so much more.

KMSU Radio, located in across the street for Bresnan Arena, is having its Fall 2015 Pledge Drive until Nov. 6.

The station is looking to raise $25,000 for a variety of operational costs.

“We are a Noncommercial Public Educational station, so we have to raise money to pay for operations, equip-

ment, and programming,” said James “Gully” Gullickson, host of the Minnesota Mid Day on the Maverick.

Gullickson is proud of the amount the station has raised within the first week.

“We have had a really good start,” he said, “but we do have a ways to go. We are looking to raise $25,000.”

Giving to the station does not go without benefits. Certain premiums exist at giving intervals for the generous donors.

In giving $25, donors will receive a gift of a KMSU mug (which can act as a bowl according to Gullickson). Wear your pride for the Maverick by sporting a KMSU baseball cap for a $50 pledge.

A $60.00 gift earns you a “Live at the World Cafe - Volume 39, Hearts of Space or Echoes” CD. For your $100 donation, you have many options. You can select a KMSU Day Spon-

sorship, be a Shuffle Function Program Director for a day, receive a warm and cozy grey hoodie sweatshirt, or be gifted the CD set “Muddy Waters: The Complete Aristocrat & Chess Singles A’s & B’s 1947-1962.”

A $200 donation will get you a ticket to participate in the 2016 Record Store Expedition. During this tour on Feb. 6, you can tour MN record stores. The tout begins by traveling to the Twin Cities via coach bus. From there, you will visit several record stores and a record swap.

These premiums are a testament to the relationship between station and listener, Gullickson said.

“Some stations have gone without premiums, but we think they are still effective to our message of ‘please give’,” said Gullickson.

KMSU has been on the air for over 50 years and has come a long way since the

beginning. Student involvement, a key factor in the station’s makeup today, was low to nonexistent, Gullickson said.

“I looked at the lack of students and asked ‘why don’t we involve more students?’

After that is when we started the student-run Minnesota News Project,” he said.

Not only has student involvement increased, but so has KMSU. The station continues to grow in listenership and size as compared to the first few years.

“When I first started, $15,000 would have been a huge number to ask for,” Gullickson said.

Yes, over 50 years the station has changed considerably, but the one thing that hasn’t changed is listener support. If you wish to give to KMSU, you can call in your pledge at 507-389-5678, or toll free at 1-800-456-7810.

Student Senate Public Forum Report GABE HEWITT Staff Writer Presentations Director of Facilities Services David Cowan and Mankato Superintendent Mark Anderson did a joint presentation on the status of the university’s parking and bus programs. Bus ridership has steadily increased over the past five years, according to Anderson. Route 1B south, the route that the MSSA authorized last spring, is average 40 riders a day. Senator Siavash Sadeghi asked about the status of the campus bus routes being implemented into Google Maps and Anderson said the maps will go live in the app within a month.

Senator Tien Bui asked if there’s been a discussion about using alternative fuels in the buses. “The exhaust coming out of every bus on campus is the cleaner than the air you’re breathing. It’s been scrubbed that much,” Anderson said.

Residential Life Director Cindy Janney presented about room and board rates and the consultation process behind increasing them. She also detailed the summer projects completed in the residence halls over the summer including adding routers to each room, installing filtered water spouts in lounge kitchens and two-ply toilet paper in floor bathrooms.

Officer Reports MSSA President Mariah Haffield is still looking for students to join committees.

She and Senator Grace Smith recently met with Provost Marilyn Wells MSU President Richard Davenport will be attending the MSSA meeting on Nov. 11 and Haffield asked senators to send her questions they’d like to have answered before the meeting.

MSSA Vice President Sam Al-Mohamadi and Senator Zeinab Dahir have been speaking with university officials about reviving the MSSA Leadership Scholarship.

Speaker Jessica Farah has been working with the College of Business to develop a peer advising program for its underclassmen. She addressed the MSSA losing

quorum during its Oct. 21 meeting before its 6 p.m. end time. “I expect you to stay on this table except if you have class,” she said. “It is a shame that we lost quorum last week before 6 p.m. This is the senate. We are representing 15,000 folks. For us not to not give them two hours of sitting at this table is a shame.”

Senator Reports Senator Fred de Ruiter, following a motion to retrieve information at an Oct. 14 meeting, presented about the Otto Recreation Center’s summer membership. Currently, students not enrolled in summer courses have to pay a $50 fee to use the center’s services during the entire summer semester. 35 non-registered students paid the membership fee during the summer 2015 term. It was a drop from 42 students in the summer 2014 term.

Education College Senator Katherine Gibson had her first committee meeting with the College of Education (COE). The COE wants to become a more visual college on campus and has created a Facebook page. She recently learned that education students at MSU’s Edina campus

have been told that if they don’t attend class after they take their final this semester, it will reflect in their grades.

“These students do feel that if they don’t speak up, they’ll be punished,” she said.

Senators Smith and Aris Ututalum presented about the current tuition differential between online and in-person classes. Ututalum said there’s a difference in tuition because the institution wants to increase the online learning environment. “People I’ve talked to say they haven’t seen an improvement in the online learning environment,” he said.

Old Business A motion by Senator Maria Ruiz to give senators card access to the MSSA office after open hours failed.

A motion by President Haffield to adopt revised MSSA operating polices was passed.

New Business A motion by Al-Mohamadi to decrease the recreation center’s full summer term membership fee for non-registered students to $30 was passed. It also decreased the fee for the first session during summer term from $25 to $15.

Geography Department hosts nation’s leading climate experts

LUKE LARSON Staff Writer Climate science is enjoying somewhat of a heyday. Technology used in observing the Earth’s climatic trends is advancing and the issue of climate change has been front and center in the global consciousness for years.

Last Friday, MSU was privileged to host Dr. Diane Stanitski and Dr. John Adler, two of the United States’ leading experts on climate science, for a public lecture entitled, “Observational Ge-

“‘We’re very proud to have had these scientists from NOAA and NEON to come and share with MSU students what’s happening in climate change studies in our country.’”

ography: Technology and Applications for our World.”

According to a press release

by Dan Benson, Stanitski has worked as a professor at Shippensburg University, the University of Colorado, and the

United States Naval Academy and is now “a program manager in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Program Office, and a physical scientist at the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory.” Dr. John Adler is a retired captain with the NOAA corps with twenty-six years of service who now works with the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON).

The talk, which was given to an overflowing crowd in the auditorium in Armstrong Hall room 101, was part of the Geography Department’s weekly colloquium series. Dr. Donald Friend, chair of the department, notes that “it is the longest-running speaker series at the university,” having been meeting on Fridays at 3 p.m. since the 1890s.

Though geography majors take the colloquium for credit, the lectures are open to anyone interested in the topics presented. The colloquium generally meets in room 15 in the basement of Armstrong Hall.

“In academia, we don’t just do research,” says Friend.

“Our job is to teach it and to share it and to ask about it and critique about it. So once a week we hold the colloquium, where a learned individual comes to the university, they make a presentation, and we allow time for questions to ask what’s really going on.”

In their presentation on Friday, Dr. Stanitski and Dr.

Adler focused on the many different technologies used by scientists today to observe the planet and record vital data about its land, oceans, and icy regions.

Dr. Adler recounted his experience of flying into hurricanes, which he has done over eighty times. He also spoke about the use of “remote sensing” technology, which allows humans to collect data from afar through the use of drones, satellites, and other machines.

Dr. Stanitski spoke of her work in Barrow, Alaska measuring the length of the snowfree season, which is unfortunately being prolonged due to climate change.

One new technological advancement that Stanitski finds especially exciting is an apparatus that is facilitating scientists in the exploration of the depths of the ocean.

“In our oceans, we know much more about the upper 2,000 meters of ocean water, and we can determine the temperature and salinity of that water with argo floats that we currently have,” she says.

“Now, technology is enabling us to use deep argo floats that go down to the bottom of the ocean. So now we’re seeing if some of the missing heat in the overall energy balance of Earth is going into the deep ocean and we’re hoping to implement an observational network [to allow us to] have many more observations of the deep

ocean because it’s such an unknown part of our globe.”

Climate change demands much of the attention within the study of climate science, certainly, but also within the realm of politics. Dr. Stanitski has worked to advocate changes in policy that would combat climate change. She sees global sea level rise and an unhealthy increase in greenhouse gases as two of the biggest threats to our planet today.

“We know that our global sea level is rising and there are many vulnerable island nations and coastal areas where the populations are very high,” she stated in an interview prior to Friday’s event.

“In addition to that is certainly the increasing greenhouse gases and greenhouse gas concentrations and the influence that that has on warming of the atmosphere.

We know that’s happening.

It’s influencing arctic sea ice extent and we are [seeing that] over time the trend is towards less and less sea ice, which enables more warming of the water and a variety of

changes in the arctic which also can influence what’s happening in the mid-latitudes, where we have large populations of people.”

Dr. Stanitski says that she discovered her love for geography and climate science in a physical geography class she took as an undergraduate. She says she “absolutely loved” the class, largely thanks to the great professor who taught it. From that one class, the career of one of the nation’s top geographic researchers was born.

The geography department certainly hopes that Friday’s lecture and similar events inspire this generation of students to become the geographers and earth scientists of the future.

Dr. Friend expressed the department’s gratitude for the two speakers, saying “we’re very proud to have had these scientists from NOAA and NEON to come and share with MSU students what’s happening in climate change studies in our country. It’s exciting that they were here to come chat with students.”

RAE FRAME Editor in Chief It was standing room only in Nelson Hall three as students, faculty, and community members gathered in attendance for J.A. Moad II’s presentation on “Voices of War,” a lecture on how veterans can share their stories through literary and artistic expression. Moad offered a moving and new perspective of war and the veteran experience through personal stories, photographic compilations, artistic renderings, poetry, and fiction readings.

“Stories are going to get told, no matter what.”

Moad began his lecture with this clear and motivating idea, touching on the fact that stories about the veteran experience should come from veterans, not from film or news channels.

With a brief show of hands, Moad demonstrated that nearly all in attendance had completed military service or had a family member or friend who had served. He went on to say that the term “veteran” is usually applied to a person who has served in the military when it can

also be extended to include anyone who has experienced war, conflict or repercussions of violence.

“The truth of war is what the history books leave out.”

The lecture included several readings, videos, and dozens of examples of literary works that hone in on the truth of war and the issues that survivors of violent conflict face. Among the recommendations were “The Bosnia Elegies” by Adrian Oktenberg, “Here, Bullet” by Brian Turner, “A Rumor of War” by

“The effects go on and on.”

“Trauma stays with you,” said Moad. Adding that the effects of war come home with each soldier, extending the experience to families and friends of those who serve.

Citing an article in the Washington Post that suggested that “veterans have a moral responsibility to share their stories,” Moad ex-

plained that the goal of these stories is to give veterans an opportunity to open up and share the truths of trauma with the general public—who may not understand the reality of combat or the fact that it doesn’t end on the battlefields.

Moad pointed out that there are 80,000 Minnesotan veterans, 30,000 of whom

VETERAN...Continued from page 4 are women and added that though there were thousands of casualties in the Vietnam war, more lives were lost in the aftermath to suicide.

“Knowing is not understanding,” said Moad, who explained that society struggles to understand the reality of war without a bridge, and art is one of the ways that bridge is built.

Before opening up the room for questions, Moad read one of his short stories, “Our Ghost,” which focused on the effects of trauma at home. Accompanying the reading was a slideshow featuring the concept of a “Thousand Yard Stare,” which was described as the look in someone’s eyes when they have been pushed past their emotional or psychological breaking point. It was a haunting yet intriguing element of the lecture, as it helped to bring the descriptions of Post Traumatic Stress in “Our Ghost” to life.

Bringing the conversation to campus.

Moad’s lecture included four ways that people can open up the channels of communication: to teach ourselves to be comfortable with the hard truths of war, to prepare students and educators to be comfortable with ambiguity, for veterans to embrace the power of sharing their stories, and for civilians to understand the consequences of going to war.

Questions from the audience largely focused on the ways Hollywood depictions of war differ from the actual experience. Moad felt that the 2008 film “The Hurt Locker” was the closest Hollywood has come to correctly representing the realities of service.

A word from the presenter: J.A. Moad II So what can students at Minnesota State University, Mankato do to open up the floor for conversation and create opportunities for people to share their stories?

“One could be to have a school-wide read: A book

that both vets and the student body reads, then have a discussion about that book with a group of vets onstage,” said Moad. “Someone in the English, History or Mass Media Department could moderate.” Moad included that “The Good Soldiers” by David Finkel could serve as a starting point for such a school event.

October was dedicated “Veteran’s Voices Month” in Minnesota by Governor Dayton in 2014, and would serve as an excellent time for departments across campus to host literary, art, or other medium events to recognize veterans both on campus and within our community.

Another suggestion was for the MSU Theatre Department to produce a Mankato version of “Telling Minneso-

ta,” featuring community and campus veterans performing their stories on stage. The Theatre Department is currently in rehearsal for “Time Stands Still,” which follows a photojournalist and a foreign correspondent through the struggles of war and will run Nov. 18-21, 2015.

Sports A not-so-happy Halloween for Mavericks

DREW MEZZANO Staff Writer The Minnesota State Women’s hockey team went head-to-head this past weekend against the Wisconsin Badgers. The Mavs had a two game series with the Badgers and it did not fare well for them. On Friday afternoon the Mavs would fall to the Badgers 6-0 and on Saturday afternoon they would again be on the losing end of the game when they lost 7-0.

On Friday, the Badgers would start off the scoring at 9:32 of the first period. Wisconsin’s Baylee Wellhausen would finish on a play started by Jenny Ryan. Nearly six minutes later the Mavs would lose a skater for two minutes on a hooking call given to Sara Bustad. Wisconsin wouldn’t waste any time, given this opportunity and Sam Cogan lite the lamp on the power play.

At the end of the period the Mavs were down 2-0.

The purple and gold came out with energy in the second period and found themselves getting ten shots on net. None of these would be converted for a goal on Wisconsin’s goalie, Ann-Renee

Desbiens. Even with the Mavericks offensive surge in the second period, they found themselves down 4-0 at the end of two. The Badgers took advantage of almost every opportunity the Mavericks gave them and ended up netting two more goals to finish out the third period. The final score at the Verizon Center on Friday was 6-0 in favor of Wisconsin. The Mavs ended up getting outshot in this game 46-16. The Mavericks goalie Brianna Quade had 40 saves resulting in a season total of a .914 save percentage.

Unfortunately, this valiant effort wasn’t enough to halt the Badgers offense.

The two teams would battle again on Saturday afternoon and the Mavericks started out the game stronger than the prior day. You could see a different energy coming from the girls as almost all of the first two minutes of the game were spent in the offensive zone. Quickly after, the Badgers found their groove and continued on what would be another power house offensive showing.

At 9:33 of the first period, the Mavs Leila Kilduff was called for a tripping penalty giving the Badgers their first power play of the game. On this opportunity the Mavs’ Katie Johnson would get a great short handed scoring chance that unfortunately wouldn’t result in a goal. Late in this power play the Badgers fired

About a minute later the Badgers were called for an interference penalty giving the Mavs their first power play. Sophia Shaver of Wisconsin would get a short handed breakaway opportunity and took full advantage of that, by scoring a goal. By the end of the period it was 4-0 in favor of Wisconsin.

The second period was much more evenly played and the Mavericks showed they weren’t going to quit easily by getting seven shots on net compared to the Badgers 4. Though the Badgers continued to control much of the game, the Mavericks were making the right plays by blocking shots and winning the battles low in the defensive zone.

TOMMY WIITA Staff Writer On Halloween, the Minnesota State football team provided the horror against conference rival Southwest Minnesota State.

After a disappointing home loss to Winona State, the Mavericks traveled to Marshall, Minnesota to take on an impressive Mustangs team.

SMSU entered the matchup 6-2, and has shocked some other opponents this season. It does not seem like it was recent, but the Mavericks last scored 50 plus points two weeks ago when they played Concordia-St. Paul and won 51-10. This game was vastly similar to that matchup, as the Mavericks dominated throughout.

The Mavericks and Mustangs were scoreless in the first quarter, but the second quarter provided many fireworks. MSU reached the scoreboard first, as sophomore quarterback Nick Pieruccini ran one in from two yards

out to put the Mavs up 7-0.

Pieruccini would throw two touchdown passes later in the quarter, both to junior wide receiver Brent Esser from six and 14 yards out, respectively. The Mustangs were only able to put up a field goal for the half, and the Mavericks led 21-3 through two quarters of play. In just the first half of play, the Mavericks racked up 288 yards of offense. The passing game was rolling with 177 yards, which is a change of style from the usual running game.

The defense would prove its worth in this game, as they would only let up single scores in the second, third and fourth quarters.

Meanwhile, the Mavericks continued to roll on offense.

To open the third quarter, Pieruccini started things off the same way he started the game with a rushing touchdown from three yards out.

He also added another in the quarter, this one coming from 15 yards out. Pieruccini would continue to have himself quite the day, as he connected on a 33-yard touchdown pass to junior Taylor Johnson. Junior running back opened the fourth quarter of play with a one-yard dive into the end zone. Another score

would come later on in the quarter from the Mavericks defense, as senior Justin Otto recovered a blocked punt in the end zone. The punt was blocked by freshman Jake Engelken.

The Mavericks won 55-17, and definitely has reinserted themselves as contenders.

They are currently ranked sixth in the latest NCAA-II polls, so they should end up in a great spot heading into postseason play. For the game, the Mavericks were able to tally 460 total offensive yards, with 280 passing yards. The Mavericks defense was able to come away with two interceptions, and a special teams blocked punt and score. Nick Pieruccini had himself a career day, finishing with 280 yards in the air, and three touchdown passes. He also ran for 53 yards on the ground for three more scores. Esser and sophomore Ty Dennis did the most damage on the receiving end, as Esser finished with 89 yards and two scores, while Dennis finished with five catches for 80 yards. Senior running back

Mavericks win NSIC title

COREY YUMAN Staff Writer The Mavericks soccer team is conference champions!

With a combination of victories over the weekend, and an undefeated record in the conference over the season, the Mavs secured the number one spot in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference.

During a season that only saw one defeat, the Mavs ended on the high note they started it on taking away two victories.

October 30th had the Mavs travelling to play the Winona State Warriors in what ended up being a tightly contested game. The first half of the game was uneventful in terms of scoring, as neither team was able to push it past the defense for a score. Going into the second half the Mavs and Warriors tied each other with three shots on goal each.

During the second half things picked up though. Junior Kiana Nickel managed to pick up her tenth goal of the season after being assisted by freshman Abby Hausken and Korey Kronforst. This goal put the Mavs on the board first, and gave them a 1-0 lead. Two of the three involved with the play would strike back once again, this time with Kronforst grabbing her second assist of the game and setting up Nickel to score her second goal of the game to give the Mavs a 2-0 lead. The Warriors wouldn’t go down quietly though, as WSU’s Abby Bohanski was able to get one past MSU to bring the score within one.

No more scores would occur though, and the Mavs left Winona with a 2-1 victory. Senior goalkeeper Lauren Hoeppner saved six shots on their way to the win.

The Mavs got to play their last game of the season at home, and on November 1st they welcomed the Upper Iowa University Peakcocks.

This time it didn’t take long for the Mavs to get things on track and picked up a goal early into the first half. Returning the favor from the game before, Nickel was credited with the assist after sending the ball to Kronforst to put up the first goal of the game.

Nickel didn’t stop there though, and later along with senior Emily Erickson, assisted Jessica Bowe to give the Mavs a 2-0 lead. The first half

MSU Reporter • 9 saved a total of six goals, and junior goalkeeper Erin Wren got some action on the day as well saving two goals herself.

The Mavs have now won the NSIC conference four years in a row. They ended their season with a record of 16-1-1, and a record of 14-0-1 in NSIC competition. The post season begins on Wednesday

the 4th for the Mavs when they face off against Concordia-St. Paul Golden Bears.

The two teams met once earlier in the season when the Mavs defeated them 3-0, but anything can happen when play off time comes. The home game for the Mavs is set to start at 1:00 p.m.

Erickson got into the action with a second assist after Morgan Cottew got over on the defense giving the Mavs a 3-0 lead heading into the second half of play.

Things would slow down in the second half, but the Mavs stayed in firm control. Records were also broken or tied during second half play with the Mavs fourth, and what would end up being their last, goal of the game. Freshman

Abby Hausken gained an assist to Kronforst who shot it in to give the Mavs a commanding lead. With the goal, Kronforst broke the All-Time NSIC points record by scoring her 106th goal against the Northern Sun. She also tied the record for All-Time NSIC goals with 44.

Hoeppner was able to record one more shutout on the year before the season ended putting her total up to 12 on the year. This game Hoeppner

Chad Zastrow led in rushing with 69 yards. Senior Josh Gordon finished the game with seven tackles, 1.5 sacks and an interception. Not a bad day at the office for Gordon, who now has two interceptions this season at the defensive line

The Mavericks play their last regular season road game this upcoming Saturday, as they travel to take on #10 ranked Sioux Falls.

JAKE SULLIVAN Staff Writer While he was serving as the artistic director for Playmaker’s Repertory Company in North Carolina, Joseph Haj was asked what his next goal was, where his next career step would be, to which he jokingly replied, “I’m good, I’m here till the Guthrie calls!”

Through happenstance, persistence, and no small bit of irony, in July 2015, Joseph Haj was named the new artistic director at Minneapolis’ internationally acclaimed Guthrie Theatre. Last Wednesday, Haj made his way down Highway 169 to Mankato, participating in a meet-and-greet with local leaders of the artistic community, Guthrie patrons, and reporters at the Blue Earth County library, opening up to them about his life, his art, and his vision for the lauded establishment he now stands at the helm of.

Haj is no stranger to the famed Minnesota theatre. In the late 80s and early 90s, Haj graced the Guthrie’s stage as an actor, notably in a whopping five hour-long production of Genet’s The Screens.

The production was so impactful, in fact, that some of the more matured season ticket holders present at the event could recall the performance with vivid clarity.

Nearly three decades later, (during which time he has accumulated such accolades as directing productions in the West Bank, Gaza, and a maximum security prison), he is quite content to be back.

Many have even called Haj’s installment at the Guthrie a homecoming, and he would not disagree.

“The Guthrie was such a seminal part of my early life as an artist. So much of what I understand about myself as an artist, so much of what I understand about myself

as an artistic leader, it really began in a formative state at the Guthrie,” said Haj in an interview after the event.

In his first few months at the wheel of a theatre so massive that he often compares it to an ocean liner, Haj is treading carefully, surveying the wants and needs of the community, both of the Guthrie’s patrons and his relationships with other prominent theatres in the area. Though the Twin Cities has had quite the thriving theatre scene for sometime now, it has changed drastically since Haj was last involved here, but that’s not stopping him from jumping into the game headfirst.

“I’m just sort of getting to know the players. What I love is that there’s this sense that we want one another’s success, and that’s exciting to me,” he said. “It doesn’t feel like arm wrestling… it feels like shared support.”

Haj was raised in Miami, and, despite the best effort of his parents, he admits, fell into the wrong crowd as he grew older. It was theatre that saved him and gave him an outlet for all the angst, frustration, and rage he felt.

After graduating, he moved on and in quick succession accumulated both his B.F.A. and M.F.A. in acting. However, somewhere along the line, Haj felt that he was no longer meeting his own artistic needs.

“This was really almost like a light switch for me,” he said. “I started feeling like everything I wanted to understand about the arts, everything I wanted to understand as an actor, almost overnight, I started feeling too specialized.”

Haj compares how he felt

Photo Courtesy The Guthrie Theatre to the role of a punter on a football team—you come out, you do a task, you go back to the crowd. Wanting to have more of a hand in the shaping of the whole production, Haj found himself gravitating towards directing.

However, Haj found, again, that he had bigger questions to ask about his craft, questions about the impact of the theatre on communities and individuals alike, and this led him to his current title—an artistic director.

“All of those different things fulfill the same part of me...some people say, do you miss acting? I don’t miss it because it doesn’t feel lost to me.”

As he settled into his new life as a director and eventually an artistic director, Haj also settled into a new role in his personal life—a father.

With the birth of his daughter, Haj found the desire for family time growing, but when asked how a performing artist could balance both a family and an artist’s life, his answer was unnervingly blunt and simple—you can’t.

“Balance is out of the question, it’s ludicrous. It’s out of the question. So I put my focus on what can I protect?”

Haj spoke of sacred Sundays with his wife and daughter, but also of the difficulties that the arts can produce in a familial sense. While he is

typically home, his wife and daughter are at school, or work. While he is at work, then his family is home, without him. He recounted that at one time, he and his wife calculated that in their first nine years together he had spent half of that on the road. His advice for those going into the arts?

“Choose your partners carefully. Choose your children carefully,” he says with a laugh.

In seriousness, though, he states he can only give so much advice; there is no oneway to become a successful artist, as there might be in other careers.

“To be an actor in the American theatre today, its almost a calling, it’s like taking the collar,” he said. “I mean, nobody’s going into it to get rich.”

Haj finds particularly unnerving the fact that legitimate theatre actors have little to no chance at a middle class life. With the fading era of companies and scattered theatres behind us, many actors find themselves at a loss for opportunities.

Haj believes deeply that this is a prospect that needs to change, and the glint in his eyes as he says so leads those listening to believe that he will most definitely be there, helping to make it happen.

Beyond pumpkin spice: Fall baking ideas to try How to put some of those fall leftovers to good use this November.

We are all gearing up for the Thanksgiving feast, but let’s not forget about this weekend’s staple food, pumpkin. It is in everything from cakes to chili and from rolls to soups.

Now while baking is a science for the most part, there is a little wiggle room in this recipe. I played with the recipe a little bit but this is only because my inner cook has a hard time following a recipe all the way through without mixing it up. The only thing I really changed was adding some of the “meat” from the carving process to the frosting to give it an orange tint and of course because you can never have enough pumpkin. Either way you go about, it they will taste great!
