African Night 2011 kicked off with a routine symbolizing warriors battling for their land and rights.

Africa Night celebrates culture, dance, music Ciara Pritschet CONTRIBUTING WRITER

People crowded around the staircases in Atwood, eager for the cultural adventure of Africa Night to begin. Held annually, Africa Night is attended by people from the community as well as St. Cloud State. Africa Night this year began at 6 p.m. with dinner served in Atwood’s Cascade Room. Music played in the background of a slideshow while attendants of the event ate foods that are commonly prepared in Africa, such as fried plantains. After dinner came, the show, which started at seven, began and continued until around 10 p.m. The show was a mix of dance, spoken word, songs and presentations, beginning with an enthusiastic shout-out to attendees who were from Africa. Those from Cameroon, Ethiopia, Togo, Kenya, Somalia, Congo, Mozambique, South Africa, Liberia, Nigeria, Ghana, Botswana, Algeria, Benin, Burundi, and Rwanda received shout-outs as well. <PM [PW_ WNÅKQITTa JMOIV _Q\P I UWKS ÅOP\

Social Justice Week was last week, Nov. 14—18. Hosted by ASIA, Asian Students In Action, Social Justice Week this year focused on the discrimination that Asian-Americans face day to day. The theme explored throughout was “Art as a Weapon�, which focused on the misrepresentation of Asians and Asian-Americans in the media. The goal was real representation and the breaking down of stereotypes. The events last week culminated with a guest speaker on Thursday, Ed Bok Lee. Lee was introduced by the secretary of ASIA, Camille Macauyam. He then started his performance of eight poems from his books, “Real Karaoke People� and “Whorled�. He chose poems that he felt related to the theme. “I chose poems that had a social component that explored issues that are historical, social, philosophical and politi-

Tuition for mass communications majors will be increased to make way for a proposed new budget. Brought to the Department of Mass Communications in February 2011, the budget would increase tuition for mass communications credits by $25 per credit. All classes would be affected by this proposal, with the exceptions of COMM 146, 220, 221 and 275 as many nonmass communications majors take these classes. This will bring in an estimated $147,000. Planned to begin fall semester of 2012, the proposed budget would continue for 10 years. The plan would cover a variety of different resources for the mass communications department. This would include new computers for the Stewart computer labs, new editing suites for production, software upgrades for programs like Final Cut Pro and Adobe Photoshop and various production tools for student use. This budget would also include a digital HD upgrade for the UTVS [\]LQW[ <PM ]XOZILM _W]TL KW[\ ZW]OPTa \PM Ă…Z[\ aMIZ \PQ[ XZWposal is enacted. The next year it would cost roughly $73,000, followed by another $112,000 the year after. The majority of these expenses would go towards new camera equipment. Though all mass communications students are affected by this tuition hike, not all students will see the immediate rewards.

After the performance of an original song by Sierra Leone, the Council of African American Students introduced themselves and explained their goals. Other groups that had similar presentations that night included the Organization for the Prevention of AIDS in Africa, Today’s Women, FRANCOPHONE, and M.E.Ch.A. After C.A.A.S.’s presentation, Maud Diggs gave a spoken word performance titled ‘I Am Africa’. The 2011 Mr. and Mrs. Africa were announced. Lisa Sarclay and Samuel Kowe came up on stage and last year’s Mr. and Mrs. Africa presented them with their sashes. The fashion show that followed was colorful and full of a variety of clothing that displayed examples of many traditional types of clothing, as well as modern clothing inspired by the styles and patterns of Africa. As the night continued, many people left; especially those individuals from the community who had come to the event with their children. Despite the loss in numbers, the audience was very enthusiastic and supportive of all the performers that night; sometimes it became hard to hear the music

over the cheering of the crowd. This was especially apparent when the representatives of Ivory Coast played an introductory video where not one word could be heard over cheers and applause. Halfway through Ivory Coast’s performance, though, the lights in the ballroom turned on. There had been some respectful requests for people in the back to keep it down, but it was hard to determine why the lights would be turned on. <PMZM _MZM Z]UWZ[ WN I ÅOP\ QV \PM JIKS J]\ \PQ[ Q[ ]VKWVÅZUML <PM LIVKMZ[ PW_M^MZ LQL VW\ allow themselves to be distracted or interrupted, and continued.

The show wound down with a performance by Somalia and a dedication to the Horn of Africa, which is suffering its worst drought in 60 years. The United States is calling it a horrible humanitarian crisis, and the drought is compounded by high food cost and political violence and instability. According to the presentation, the media is not talking about it, so no one has heard of it. “Healing the Horn of Africa” is being hosted in the Atwood Ballroom on Nov. 22, from 6-8 p.m. to help raise funds for the Horn of Africa.

On Nov. 16, the Women’s Center of SCSU continued their series on how pornography and social media have affected and degraded women and children. This week, the focus shifted towards the men of today and how pornography has impacted their relationships, intimacy and view of women. Speakers Chuck Derry of the Gender Violence Institute and Minnesota Men’s Action Network and Shiyanke Goonetilleke of the SCSU LGBT Center explained that they hoped to have a “bluntly put and vulgar” conversation about the impact of pornography on men as “there is a need for this type of language.” Both speakers admitted to previously using pornography as a form of “bonding” with their brothers and former classmates in order to not be hypocritical with their audience. While Derry is native to the state of Minnesota, Goonetilleke attended an all-boy boarding school in Sri 4IVSI _PMZM XWZVWOZIXPQK ÅTU[ IVL QUIOM[ _MZM XZM^Ilent and a major part of growing up. The speakers spoke of how even though they are from different halves of the world, pornography has crossed over cultural and national boundaries. “For me it was one of my friends, she was sexually abused… When it happens to you or someone you know, that’s when your eyes are opened,” Goonetilleke said regarding his choice to abstain from pornography. “I took it upon myself to become an education leader and talk to other men about what’s going on in our community because it’s not right.” Additionally, Derry stated that his reasons for refraining from porn revolved more around what it was he was

discussed racism and sexism within porn, the corollary effects of watching pornography, and how it has resulted in the normalization of abnormal sexual behavior. “To prevent violence, we need to change the environment where this violence is learned and supported,” Derry explained. “How is it possible that we are growing the twoyear-old sweethearts into abusers?” While watching pornography does not directly cause sexually violent or abusive behavior, there are numerous correlations which have been linked to habitual porn usage of which include a decrease in empathy for rape victims, IVOMZ \W_IZL[ _WUMV _PW ÆQZ\ J]\ _Q[P \W VW\ PI^M [M`]IT intercourse, and the belief that certain women “deserve to be raped.” Closing the presentation, the speakers encouraged members of the audience to abstain from pornography until February 16. Additionally, they discussed the lack of

dialogue and the importance of communication as there is a disconnect between partners. “Sex is great; it’s the degradation of women that’s the problem,” said Derry. “Pull sexism, not sex.” For more information please visit menaspeacemakers. org or the Women’s Center at 320.308.4958.

KVSC has remained separate from SCSU, and has retained its role as part of the St. Cloud community for 28 years. They receive no funding from the mass communications department. “We receive the majority of our funding from state and federal grants,” said KVSC station manager Jo McMullen-Boyer. Student responses have been overall positive to the proposed budget. A survey of 375 random mass communications majors from different classes was taken. The survey showed that 90 percent of those surveyed responded “yes.” Several students commented on the survey, saying they were against raising tuition costs “but if that’s what it takes to improve our facility I approve it.”

The Great American Smokeout and Tobacco Education took place in the Atwood Ballroom. The event was put on to educate students on the hazard of tobacco use.

Smokeout educates on tobacco use Brenna Casey BEAT REPORTER

With over 21 percent of Americans engaging in tobacco use, SCSU hopes to better the wellbeing and overall health of its students. Beginning August 1 of next year, SCSU will begin enforcing the smoking ban which has been met with much opposition. In hopes of further encouraging students to kick the habit, The Great American Smokeout helped to inform students of the dangers of tobacco ][M I[ \PMQZ JWW\P[ _MZM ÅTTML _Q\P shocking statistics which had been brought to life through displays and images. The Great American Smokeout has made it their mission for 36 years to help educate Americans of the risks and dangers of smoking and other forms of tobacco use. In 1974, Lynn R. Smith, the local newspaper editor of the “Monticello Times”, challenged readers to refrain from smoking for the day and gained 250 pledges from area smokers. Upon later analysis, 10 percent of all individuals who pledged quit smoking entirely after that day. In the fall of 1974, the Minnesota Lung Association and the American Cancer Society helped to promote a state-wide “Don’t Smoke Day” with the help of Lynn R. Smith. Two years later, the American Cancer Society launched the event nation-wide.

The event was highlighted by keynote speaker, Ani Koch, director of programs for the Rainbow Health Initiative, who discussed the impact of major tobacco corporations on the LGBT community within the Atwood Memorial Center. “You hear more about murder and suicides because they are much more frightening because they’re right in front of your face,” Koch said. “It [murder and suicides] happens quickly, and the way that tobacco kills people is over time.” Throughout the presentation, Koch reminded the audience that smoking and tobacco use is responsible for 80 percent of lung cancer diagnoses and is “the single most preventable cause of death.” Additionally, Koch explained how tobacco industries have targetML [XMKQÅK KWUU]VQ\QM[ _Q\PQV \PM United States such as the Native American and African American populations as well as the individuals who identify themselves as LGBT. Through statistical analysis, the Rainbow Health Initiative has discovered a substantial deviation in the number of smokers within the LGBT community who make out a disproportionate amount

of the smoking population within Minnesota. Concluding the presentation, Corie Beckermann, director of Student Health Services at SCSU, defended the university’s switch to a tobacco-free campus. “We tried to include the student campus’ opinions on what they wanted the policies to be, and we heard that the campus wanted to move towards ‘tobacco free.’ Now we’re really working a lot on education… There’s so much knowledge \PI\ 1¼U ÅVLQVO NZWU W]\[QLM WN campus as we’re having really great presenters is helping us learn more about tobacco,” Beckermann said. “Right now we are in a two-phase process as this year we have designated tobacco areas and next year, on August 1st, we will be completely tobacco free [on-campus] except for in private vehicles.” Throughout the past year, Student Health Services has helped to provide students with resources in order to make the transition easier. One-on-one appointments with a medical provider, advice regarding OTC medications, and prescription medications have all been made available to SCSU students. Troy Shafer, assistant director of health promotions, explained why Student Health Services has decided to make the move towards a tobacco-free campus. “By doing a wide-variety of different surveys, of whether or not students want the campus to be

tobacco-free that a wide-variety of campuses across the United States have moved towards, it’s sort of the next step of the implementation of policies here on campus,” Shafer explained. “We [Student Health Services] want people to live longer, we want them to have more birthdays, we want them to be healthier, and more productive.” Another aspect which many students have begun to argue is regarding their “right” to smoke on-campus as it is their bodies and their decision to smoke. “One of the things that people always talk about is if it’s a right versus a privilege… It’s privilege. We have oodles of rights protected by amendments… and that [smoking] is a privilege. I think if we’re talking about a healthy campus, it’s the easiest progression that you can go. We’re not the ÅZ[\ XTIKM \W QUXTMUMV\ [WUM\PQVO like this; we’re actually one of the last schools to go tobacco-free… We’ve given people a whole year of implementing designated smoking areas which is the whole compromise...

Business Gov. Dayton announces funding for small businesses Joe Edmonds COPY EDITOR

In an attempt to stimulate Minnesota’s economy, Gov. Mark Dayton has launched a program to provide local entrepreneurs with at least $100 million in funding for small businesses. In doubling Minnesota’s involvement in small business, Dayton hopes to promote people to start small businesses throughout the state with a Small Business/Banking Partnership. The target for the stimulus will be small job creators. “This funding doubles Minnesota’s investment in our small businesses. These funds will help break down one of the largest barriers to job growth in our state. Entrepreneurs need to know that we are going to work aggressively to give them the tools they need to create jobs,” Dayton said. The funding for this small business project will be distributed throughout the community as loans given out by community banks across the state. The distribution of these funds will be administered through the Minnesota State Board of Investment.

There was a case at UC Davis last week _PMZM I XWTQKM WNÅKMZ pepper sprayed a group of protestors who were sitting on a sidewalk.

not serving or protecting Americans. The saddest thing is PW_ \PM[M XWTQKM WNÅKMZ[ IZM R][\QÅML QV \PMQZ JZ]\IT treatment of these protestors. In regards to the event that happened at UC Davis, Charles J. Kelly, a former Baltimore Police Department lieutenant said in an NPR article that the protestors were actively resisting arrest and said that he was looking at “fairly standard police procedure.” These actions are not tolerable. The First Amendment of the Constitution states that “Congress shall make no law … abridging… the right of the people to peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” President Obama released a statement about the Egyptian protesters, saying, “The people of Egypt have rights that are universal. That includes the right to peaceful assembly and association, the right to free speech, and the ability to determine their own destiny. These are human rights. And the United States will stand up for them everywhere.” It’s rather eye opening when one puts those

Y]W\M[ QV\W XMZ[XMK\Q^M Obama said that a mere couple of months ago.

Republican nominees have raced up and down the polls with dizzying speed early on this election cycle. There is little doubt this will be a very exciting, if nothing else, race to see who will be given the pleasure of trying to unseat President Obama when the time comes. The way in which the Republican hopefuls have traded spots atop the polls is reason \W XI][M IVL I[S \PM Y]M[\QWV" LWM[ \PQ[ XZWcess actually give us the best possible adversary to the incumbent president? It certainly does separate the competent from the mediocre, but is that enough? Blatant missteps, allegations, oversaturation and general loss of interest have all played a role in the public perception of these candidates. Newt Gingrich has been the latest benefactor of these swift changes among the Republican hopefuls. According to realclearpolitics.com, since Nov. 1, Gingrich has risen in the polls almost 13 percent to pull close to even with Mitt Romney at 22 percent. The RCP poll average has Gingrich at 21.6 percent currently while Romney sits at an even 22 percent. The last time Gingrich was second to Romney in the polling was back in April, when he trailed Romney by six points. When Rick Perry announced he was running for president he shot to the top of the polls, peaking at almost 32 percent on Sept. 13. Recent mistakes, most notably forgetting the third government agency he would eliminate in the debate on Nov. 9, has helped facilitate Perry’s fall to a little over 8 percent, where he currently sits on the RCP poll average. In less than a month, starting at the end of September, Herman Cain jumped to the lead, rising around 20 points, only to stall at 26 percent at the end of October. Cain has seen a drop in his numbers since allegations

of sexual harassment dating back to his time as president of the National Restaurant Association surfaced. Cain also had a momentary lapse during an interview with the editorial board of the Milwaukee Sentinel when asked if he agreed with President Obama on Libya. At the end of July Michele Bachmann was second to Romney and was sitting at 14 percent in the RCP poll average. Bachmann currently sits at 5.4 percent, falling behind Ron Paul, who has held steady around 8 percent. The only other candidate who has been close to as steady as Paul is Romney. So when all is said and done and nomination time comes, who will be peaking at the right time? Gingrich was left for dead months ago, but has somehow fought his way back. Can this also hold true for Perry or Cain? Both are facing an uphill climb after muchpublicized missteps. Seeing Gingrich rise again, however, has to give them hope. With the constant changing of the guard atop the polls, it doesn’t present a very strong argument for putting forth the best competition. It seems as though the most popular at the time will be the one to get the nod. Not one of the candidates has done anything to set themselves apart from the others, at least in a positive way. )V[_MZQVO \PM[M Y]M[\QWV[ _QTT XZW^M I TW\ UWZM LQNÅK]T\ \PIV XW[QVO \PMU QV \PM ÅZ[\ place.

Rethinking college: is it right for me? Jason Tham OPINIONS EDITOR

Three more weeks and students will be free from the stressing deadlines and boring lectures they have voluntarily set themselves into. “You must go to college!” is what the majority students today are told, that a college degree is essential for a good job and good life, said Richard Vedder and Andrea Gillen of NationalReview. com. Now I suppose that most of you who are reading this have made it to college; you should earnestly take some time off your busy “college routine” to reevaluate if your decision to pull together a college degree is worth the money and effort. Vedder and Gillen said onethird of all college graduates hold jobs that make their expensive diplomas unnecessary. To illustrate a better picture: More than 19,000 college grads now work as parking-lot attendants, and 300,000 as waiters and waitresses. Yet students continuously put themselves into vast amounts of debt in low-interest government loans, which now total to an estimation of $771 billion statewide, and a growing number of borrowers aren’t earning enough to pay back that debt, according to the Review writers. 1 []XXW[M \PM Y]M[\QWV[ PMZM are: 1) Do we really need a college degree to be good at what we plan to become? Wouldn’t some people better off practicing their crafts outside the classroom setting? 2) Like how Vedder and Gillen put it in their editorials, hundreds of thousands of college grads aren’t practicing what they learn after

graduating from college. I probably don’t want to waste money on something I won’t use – wouldn’t Q\ JM UWZM XZIK\QKIT \W Y]Q\ KWTTMOM and pick up some life skills, rather than studying, let’s say, rhetorical criticism? And 3) college is for people who know what they want to do; I (the rich kid on the block) am not sure of my desired goal and want to try out something else that are beyond textbooks, assignments and boring lectures. Can I come back to the topic later? 4M\¼[ OW [\ZIQOP\ \W \PM ÅZ[\ concern about “practicality.” Many students realize that sitting in seminars, keeping class notes, taking tests and completing assignments is not their forte. They prefer building motors, dancing over beats, and shooting hoops. I mean, who doesn’t like that? The real problem is when students think they can easily become good at their crafts minus the brutal lectures they have to sit through. Little did they know that those are valuable lessons, given by people who have been under the dirty water, giving them the opportunity to learn from the mistakes without having to encounter them themselves. That’s what you are really paying for – experience. I don’t deny that there are instances when I can’t wait to get out of my history class and do something I am passionate about, but the practical lessons I received from my classes have saved me from committing the mistakes others have done. I am an advertising major (yes, there’s a major NWZ \PI\ IVL aW] KIV Y]M[\QWV ITT you want about what we do in our classes – nothing less practical than drafting campaigns and presenting them to potential clients.

Then later down the road in collegeville, I learned that it was a 30-70 share of the burden with me on the heavier end. I soon realized the importance of spending money on something that is really “useful” for later in life, because I am paying big bucks on them. And guess what, classes like “Critical Rea-

Professor honored through art exhibit Chelsea Christman BEAT REPORTER

An artist of the past carefully crafts his latest project. He focuses on every detail, creating prints in all styles, watercolors, and more. The works are now displayed in the 912 Regency Plaza as eternal representations of the late Bill Ellingson. Bill Ellingson, a former SCSU art professor, attended the Minneapolis Institute of Design and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting and drawing in 1960. He then continued his education at the University of Iowa in 1963, earning a Master of Fine Arts degree in printmaking. Bill Ellingson then taught at SCSU for 30 years, from 1963 to his death in 1994. He taught printmaking, his specialty, until his retirement in 1994. Unfortunately, Bill Ellingson died from cancer later that year. He was a well-known, local artist whose work is now celebrated as a mark of St. Cloud’s art culture history. “My dad studied under Mario Lasansky in printmaking,” said TyRuben Ellingson, Bill Ellingson’s son. Lasansky, a famous printmaker, is originally from Argentina and he is best known for his large-scale print. Bill Ellingson learned many techniques from Lasansky, increasing his skill in his passion. “With Lasansky, he was part of the modernist movement in printmaking.

He really helped bring the art of printmaking back in the 1960s,” TyRuben Ellingson said of his father. Bill Ellingson started to gain success with his work. “He entered the art scene during inventive and progressive times,” TyRuben Ellingson said. The growing interest in art fueled Bill’s passion. Bill Ellingson’s pieces have been shown at national exhibits, with some hanging at the State Capital, SCSU, The Quarries, and multiple local buildings like churches. He enjoyed giving back to the community, known for his donations. Bill Ellingson’s prominence made him deserving of his exhibit. Heidi Steadman, executive director of Visual Arts Minnesota, praised the Bill Ellingson exhibit idea. “People do not know about St. Cloud’s art culture, and we concentrated on Bill’s one storyline to showcase the work of that time period,” she said. While searching through storage at work, Steadman discovered many old pieces, and she noticed they all had Bill Ellingson’s signature. As I VWV XZWÅ\ WZOIVQbI\QWV Visual Arts Minnesota decided to create a show of Bill Ellingson’s work because it felt right. “We have an opportunity to share stories of the past, and we don’t look into the old generations enough but they have so much to share,” Steadman said. With more research

to be done about the art stories and history, the exhibit is a start. “We used this gallery as a spring board to dive into art culture,” Steadman said. She worked with TyRuben Ellingson to organize the event. Although he gained fame and traveled around the world, Bill Ellingson was still a devoted Minne-

He supported people’s dreams, including his family and students,” TyRuben Ellingson said. He said Bill Ellingson was always positive and focused on the possibilities and how to achieve those desired goals. Bill Ellingson is honored and remembered through his exhibit, a show of over 10 of his

“We have an opportunity

to share stories of the past, and we don’t look into the old generations enough but they have so much to share.” Heidi Steadman Executive Director of Visual Arts Minnesota sotan, so his work is relatable to the local area. The artwork presents Minnesotan landscapes, including the harsh winters. “Bill wanted to embrace who and where he was, so he always thought of himself as a regionalist,” TyRuben Ellingson said. TyRuben Ellingson, like his father, is involved in art. He earned his undergrad and graduate degrees at SCSU, claiming PQ[ ÅVM IZ\[ LMOZMM ;QVKM then, he has worked as a conceptual designer.

pieces plus some of his work donated from private collectors. The collector’s pieces were donated by Bill Ellingson’s former student Kat Patton. The gallery showcases some of Bill Ellingson’s pristine prints and watercolor and oil paintings. Many feature Minnesota landscapes, such as forests WN \ZMM[ IVL WXMV ÅMTL[ Other creations include colorful prints, like “First Union,” a piece with thick, black lines and a scene of a family. “My dad was a serious artist, and he enjoyed being an artist. He was excited to work and was always experimenting,” TyRuben Ellingson said. He said his father tried bronze sculpture, watercolor, different styles of printmaking, and so much

more. Bill Ellingson’s legacy continues to reach the community through his donations across St. Cloud and the gallery displaying his art. “Bill has really started the conversation about the timeline of art, and this exhibit is not the end of that discussion,” Steadman said. Bill Ellingson’s work will live on. Another reception event will take place on Nov. 28 at 10 a.m. at the gallery. Ted Sherarts, a former SCSU art professor, will lead an open discussion about the work and the creative timeline of art. It will be a “collective memory of St. Cloud art culture.” Presented by Visual Arts Minnesota at the 912 Regency Plaza, the works of Bill Ellingson will be on display from Nov. 2 to Nov. 30. An opening reception was hosted on Nov. 11 from 7 to 9 p.m. with a conversation about the past generations of artwork, but another one is scheduled for Nov. 28. Featuring works from painting to prints that display his family and landscapes, the exhibit is part of a four-month series hosted by Visual Arts Minnesota. The 912 Regency Plaza is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday to view Bill Ellingson’s collection of work.

The Pioneer Place jazzes up Monday nights Jordan Hocum STAFF WRITER

Paul Drinkwine at The Local Blend, Friday Nov. 25 at 8 p.m. A Christmas Carol at the Paramount Theatre, Saturday, Nov. 19 through Sunday, Dec. 4

Jazz music, one of the most classic types of freeform musical expression in the world, has a home at the Pioneer Place every Monday night. The Pioneer Place, located in downtown St. Cloud, hosts jazz-focused entertainment every Monday night from 8 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. The lineup is never the same, but a few certain musicians are usually there to play some music. So customers can come in at any time, have a drink, and listen to some jazz. “They’ve been doing

this for a lot of years,” said Charles Dominick, a bartender at the Pioneer Place. “The people that have been coming to see and hear jazz have been doing it for a long time. We have a lot of regulars.” Jazz music originates from New Orleans at the turn of the twentieth century. Jazz is different from other types of music because it is not the result of choosing a tune, but an QLMI \PI\ Q[ KZMI\ML ÅZ[\ QV the mind, inspired by one’s passion, and willed into existence by playing music. Personal interpretation in jazz is one of the main themes of the genre. However, new forms of

music emerge very often, so over the past century jazz has been slowly pushed toward the background. “In some regards, jazz is a dying art form. You see less and less of jazz and more of club music,” said Adam Perry, the technical director for the Pioneer Place Theater. “So it’s nice to have jazz at a place like this.” Perry said he loves jazz U][QK 0M ÅVL[ Q\ ^MZa therapeutic. So, at the end of some work-days, he’ll sit down with a beer or a glass of wine, and listen to some jazz music before he heads home. “What’s nice about it is we don’t really have a stage

in here for the musicians,” Perry said. “So the musicians are kind of playing right in the room with the audience and there’s banter going on between them and the audience and the musicians. So, rather than being at a concert where the musicians play at you, when you’re here it’s like you’re hanging out in your living room. It’s one of the most intimate settings I can think of for a jazz concert.” Dominick didn’t really follow jazz before he started working at the Pioneer Place, but it’s grown on him since he’s been there. “I like jazz, I like it a lot,” Dominick said. “It’s opened up my eyes a little

bit … you get to see people play a style of music that obviously isn’t big. And these people are very talented musicians.” The musicians that play at the Pioneer Place are very free-style artists. Dominick said, “They have book songs that they’ll play, but it’s very loose structure. You have the main part of a song at the start, a big interpretive middle, then the main part at the end. It’s N]V \W _I\KP \PMU ZQNÅVO off each other. Everyone that’s new that comes in here to watch … they get blown away.”

Purchasing holiday meals on a budget Samantha South MARQUEE EDITOR

Moms, dads, grandparents, aunts, uncles and everyone in between may all be prepared to spend more money on holiday foods this year. Thanksgiving and Christmas are times where we spend around the most money on food, especially since this year families will be spending more money for the traditional Thanksgiving dinner. According to The American Farm Bureau Federation, a meal with turkey and all the trimmings will cost about 13 percent more this year. Thankfully, there may be some alternative routes to diving into grocery shopping for the traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. Thanksgiving Dinner The traditional Thanksgiving dinner in the U.S. consists of turkey, ham, [\]NÅVO UI[PML XW\I\WM[ cranberries, rolls, sweet potatoes, and a variety of pies. Even with coupons and sales on these items, on average we spend about $50 total for a meal with one of these items. If we’re feeding for a feast, this can get pretty pricey. Here are some ways to avoid this. Turkey and Ham We all love these items for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but our wallet does not. An average turkey ranges from 10 to 16 pounds and can cost close to $25. A ham, depending on how many people are being fed, can cost anywhere from $15 to $30. Unless you are planning

According to The American Farm Bureau Federation, a meal with turkey and all the trimmings will cost about 13 percent more this year.

on feeding 20 mouths, an average 16-pound turkey and 10 pound ham isn’t really necessary. First, look at how much left overs the family ends up having at the end of the day. They’re nice to have for the rest of the week, but look at how much is also being thrown away throughout the week. A good way to avoid the problem of having too much is to take what you normally buy and cut it in half or even just go down in pounds. A 10-pound frozen turkey can cost around $10 and will feed around 10 people (one pound per person is average according to The Turkey Dinner Calculator website). A ham is the same way. If feeding around 10 people, a seven to eight

pound ham is necessary. A half ham this size can be purchased at most grocery stores for around $2 a pound. Why do we have to eat turkey or ham? Another option is to think outside of the box and select a different type of meat for the holidays. Chicken is good second option and can be a lot cheaper. Cornish hens, on sale, can be as cheap as $2 to $3 a hen and can be stuffed just as well as a turkey, without spending as much as money. Chicken breasts and turkey breast can be bought separate also if only buying for a small family and will cut prices in half for the holidays.

All of the Fixings All families select differMV\ Å`QVO[ \W OW _Q\P \PMQZ holiday dinners. Some stick with the traditional mashed potatoes, cranberries, stuffing, sweet potatoes, rolls and pies. Others pick a variety of casseroles and foods based around their culture and family traditions. So, depending on the size of family at your Thanksgiving and/or Christmas dinner, these can be really cheap or really expensive. Take this into consideration when buying these because it can make a big difference. If it’s just a few people, take a poll and see _PQKP Å`QVO[ IZM \PM UW[\ important to have and take out the rest. This could cut the cost in half. Another idea would be to get together before preparing for the meal and I[[QOV Å`QVO[ \W W\PMZ[ [W that everyone is chipping in a little and it helps out the cost for everyone. Make it or buy it Cranberries, sweet potatoes, and mashed potatoes come in a variety of options to choose from for buying and making. Either way they’re not too expensive to purchase. A can of cranberries generally ranges from $2 to $4, depending on if it contains full cranberries or just jellied. In comparison, purchasing a frozen bag of cranberries and making them from scratch will cost around $8 in full. Canned sweet potatoes would be more to purchase than making them from scratch. Again depending on how much you’re feeding, a pound of sweet potatoes is under a dollar generally around the holi-

day time. Mashed potatoes are the same as sweet potatoes; they would generally be cheaper to make them from scratch. Plus, you can take the gizzards from the turkey when cleaning it to make gravy and not have to buy gravy for the potatoes. ;\]NÅVO PI[ I NM_ LQNferent options but they’re simple. You can get it by the box form or make it from scratch. Making it from scratch may taste exceptionally delicious but it also means it’s going to be more out-of-pocket cost because of purchasing all of the ingredients separately. If J]aQVO [\]NÅVO NZWU I JW` the cooking time on it is only around 10 minutes and costs around $3. Pies can range from all prices. If buying a bakery pie, the cost can be anywhere from $15 to $40. You’re better off making them from scratch or buying the freezer brands. Generally, buying a frozen pie can be under $10 but the baking process can leave more room for error (from my experience). Making them from scratch can cost around the same price as frozen pies, if not less. What to know Thanksgiving and Christmas are times where our money is tight, but the meals don’t need to be what’s straining our wallets. Keep in mind that the biggest thing to look at saving money for these meals is the amount of people sharing them. If there’s not too many, you can save a pant load. Yet, if you’re feeding an army, well, you may want to think about having the guests chip in on bringing a side dish.

GREAT Theatre is performing the classic holiday tale of ‘A Christmas Carol’ in spirit of the holiday season.

GREAT Theatre presents ‘A Christmas Carol’ Chelsea Christman BEAT REPORTER

Ebenezer Scrooge bickers about Christmas, spitting out, “Bah! Humbug!” to every merry person he meets. A wealthy businessman, Scrooge is stingy and meanspirited, even during the holidays. He is then visited by three ghosts, embarking on a journey that changes him for the better. Great Theatre showcases Scrooge’s story in the classic tale “A Christmas Carol”. Based on the narrative by Charles Dickens, the story is a traditional tale. Audience members can go along for the adventure with the characters as Scrooge “learns the true meaning of Christmas over the course of one fateful evening.” “It is the story everyone knows about Scrooge, his evil Christmas spirit, and his road to redemption,” said Emily Walter, a senior at SCSU. She is majoring in biomedical sciences, but she adores theater, music, and dancing.

Walter has three roles in the performance. She plays a narrator, a guest at a party named Sophia, and the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Walter has quick costume changes, but the UIQV XIZ\ WN PMZ W]\Å\ Q[ \PM same for every role. She enjoys playing the ghost because it is a challenge, and she focuses on being intimidating during her portrayal of the spirit. “It is interesting to play a villain because you step outside the person you are; stepping outside your personality is what makes acting so fun,” Walter said. Walter started acting in high school and began acting for Great Theatre in 2009, playing Mrs. Potts in “Beauty and the Beast.” Growing up in a musical family, Walter’s father is a choir director, and her mother is a pianist. “I was raised on 40’s and 50’s musicals, so I am a musical theater freak,” she admitted. The cast started rehearsals for “A Christmas Carol” in October, giving them six weeks of preparation. They practiced three to four nights

a week, but sometimes only certain characters were needed. “As we progress, the practices become run-throughs WN [XMKQÅK XIZ\[ IVL \PMV N]TT run-throughs of the whole show,” Walter said. Elizabeth Burch plays Mrs. Fred, the wife of Scrooge’s nephew. A recent graduate of SCSU, Burch majored in English and moved to Plymouth, but traveled to perform in the show. With travel time, Burch only has three big scenes, but she was pleased with the role. “I started acting when I was four, and I love to perform,” she said. “I get to spend time with my family in the play because my younger brothers are in it, too,” Burch said. One of her brothers, Daniel, plays the young Scrooge while her other brother, Matthew, is in the ensemble. Besides the Burch family, W^MZ ÅN\a XMWXTM KWUXZQ[M the cast. With such a large ensemble, the actors worked together to prepare. “People in the show are

great and always help each other out, which builds a sense of community in the cast,” Burch said. Walter agreed with the cast’s drive. “It takes a lot of committed and talented people to make a good show,” she said. Burch worked as a stage manager for Great Theatre in the past as well, and she said she was happy to be on stage again enacting the retelling of a timeless tale with many themes. “I think the main themes are about redemption and the journey of your life and how it changes you. Scrooge gets a second chance at changing for the better due to his experiences,” Burch said. Both women encouraged people to come enjoy the performance. “People should come see it because it is a classic that everyone should see once a year, and what a better opportunity to see it with Great Theatre?” Walter said. She also said that fans don’t have to drive to the Twin Cities because the

show is local. 1ZWVQKITTa \PM ÅZ[\ [VW_fall of the season happened to be on the debut night of the show on Saturday, Nov. 19. “I think it is a good omen and kind of funny that it is snowing on opening night,” Burch said. With Christmas decorations, songs, and a famous storyline, “A Christmas Carol” offers timeless entertainment. “I hope people love the show, and it is a great way to celebrate the Christmas season,” Burch added. Show times for “A Christmas Carol” will continue for the next three weekends at the Paramount Theatre in St. Cloud. The show runs from Nov. 19 to Dec. 4. Friday shows are at 7:30 p.m., Saturdays at 2:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and Sundays at 2:00 p.m., offering many options. Prepare for the Christmas season with a celebratory musical extravaganza.

Another split for SCSU Brian Gardner STAFF WRITER

Friday’s Game

The Huskies defeated the #1 ranked Minnesota Golden Gophers 4-3 Friday night in front of 5,772 spectators at the National Hockey Center in St. Cloud. The fans from Friday night’s game made for a festive evening. The Gophers were greeted with a resounding round of “boo�s from the “Dog Pound� as they entered the ice for practice. The crowd went crazy as Blizzard, the Huskies’ mascot, skated around the arena waving his hockey stick in the air.

The arena was a packed house with black and red and maroon and gold through out the facility. As usual, it was deafening when SCSU entered the ice for starting line up roll call. At times there were competing chants of “Let’s go, Huskiesâ€? and “Let’s go, Gophers.â€? The rafters were vibrating through out the night with chants from both groups of fans. Although the Huskies were out shot 4318 on the night, they found a way to get it done and pull off the upset. -IZTa QV \PM Ă…Z[\ XMZQWL \PM 0][SQM[ were plagued with penalties. “The penalties got in trouble earlier in the game,â€? said Bob Motzko, head hockey coach for the Huskies.

St. Cloud received a huge performance from freshman goaltender Ryan Faragher who stopped 40 shots for the Huskies. “Our goalie did good, I thought he was outstanding tonight,â€? Motzko said. The Huskies had an early 1-0 lead at the 3:52 mark of the game when junior Ben Hanowski scored his eighth goal of the season. “When I had the opportunity, with the help of my team, I capitalized on it,â€? 0IVW_[SQ [IQL IJW]\ PQ[ OWIT QV \PM Ă…Z[\ period.
