Protesters raise their phones during Dean’s show. Roughly 90 protesters attended the event.

Bradlee Dean event sparks controversy Michael Runyon NEWS EDITOR

Amidst protests and threats from the Minnesota GOP, Bradlee Dean came to campus.

Dean is the founder and executive director of You Can Run But You Can’t Hide ministry. He also hosts the radio program Sons of Liberty. Dean is the drummer for the band Junkyard Prophet.

The show was sponsored by the SCSU College Republicans and consisted of Dean’s band and a speech by Dean. The College Republicans received threats from the Minnesota GOP, who IZM WNÅKQITTa WXXW[ML \W \PM +WTTMOM :MX]JTQKIV[¼ LMKQ[QWV \W bring Dean to campus. The event was paid for through the Col-

lege Republican’s private account and cost $2,000.

Elizabeth Ilse, the spokesperson for the College Republicans, said the group was sticking to its guns in its decision, adding, “We did put off advertising because the MN GOP doesn’t support this event because of how he [Dean] has been persecuted. I appreciate their concern about this.

“At that point, it was too late. We had already wanted to go through with it. We had a meeting, discussed both sides and came to the conclusion that we want to present this.

“The GOP threatened us and we’re not happy about that.

We still want to present our conservative issues and give our platform. The school has known this for months and they’ve [the MN GOP] known about this for months. And they want us to cancel one week in advance?”

Protesters gathered outside of Ritsche Auditorium, where the

show was being presented, to voice their concerns about Dean’s message. The name of the protest was NOH8 at St. Cloud State.

Roughly 90 people attended the rally. The protesters were adamant that their demonstration be peaceful.

Justin Michael Lewandowski hosted the rally, saying in an open forum, “My name is Justin. In the last six years of my life I have lost six friends to suicide. Three of which were openly gay.

They were excommunicated by their families, their friends and were largely discriminated against by their immediate society. If anybody here has ever been affected by the loss of life, they know how personal it is, how much pain it causes. And that pain is incubated by men like Bradlee Dean.”

The protesters walked into Ritsche during Junkyard Prophet’s

Students walk around campus in protest of raising tuition prices.

Students protest tuition prices Joe Edmonds COPY EDITOR

Rising costs of tuition have made some students uneasy about their economic futures, a concern that was voiced by protesters during the Truth March.

Meeting between the Performing Arts Center and Atwood Thursday, April 19, students wore red shirts to show their support for the cause. Picket signs were carried with them, with slogans reading things such as “This is what democracy looks like.”

The demonstration was organized by the sociology department’s Christopher Thoms and the SOC 460/560 class, “Social Problems,

Practice, and Policy”.

“The goal here is to raise awareness and to hopefully get people engaged,” Thoms said.

“We hope they start thinking about the process.”

Students in the class also showed support for their cause. One student decided to wear a Captain America uniform, complete with a starred shield and helmet. Others, such as student organizer Rick Martinez, stuck with the basic red shirt.

“We’re not asking for all out loan debt to go away, even if it’s replacing loans with grants,” Martinez said. “At the same time all this is happening they’re cutting grants too.”

Attendees to the march were unafraid to

Pamela Beard, executive founder of Central Minnesota Kids Against Hunger, was in attendance at Saturday’s event.

After being inspired by an international Kiwanis convention in New Orleans in 2002, Beard began Kids Against Hunger – St. Cloud and with the help of the Central Minnesota community has impacted the lives of millions.

Author Dan Becker brought to light the enormous impact of the murder and Q\[ QVÆ]MVKM WV +MV\ZIT 5QVVM[W\I Becker, currently working as a teen drug counselor at the Area Learning School in St. Cloud, has written 36 books surrounding the history of Stearns county and his family.

As a young boy, he was given a tape recorder which he used to record his family’s conversations. Decades later, Becker began listening to these discussions and researching his family’s legends and the rich history that surround them.

“Rather than just writing the birth date and the date somebody died with nothing in between except a little dash I wrote a story about something, some event in history that happened to them or with them or about them,” Becker [IQL ¹1\ ÅZ[\ [\IZ\ML W]\ _Q\P \PM NIUQTa PQ[tory… true or not it was still worth writing.”

Nine out of the 36 stories focus on the sto-

ries told around the Becker family dinner table while the rest document key events in Stearns county history.

“Each book has its own touch,” Becker said.

“It makes them so much more personal and local, more real… these books are all charismatic.”

“The Osseo Avenue Killing” is the story of the 1997 murder of Anthony Robinson which brought the racial tensions of St. Cloud to light.

“After Jerome Jones committed that murder… it brought racism in this town to a head,” Becker said. “Landlords were looking at who they rented to. There were cases where a minority would come to the door and [the landlord] would say, ‘Oh, we don’t have that anymore,’ and then ten minutes later a white person would come to the door and they would say, ‘We have a room for you.’ It was that open and blatant.”

As a result of the murder, racial tensions within St. Cloud erupted leading to prejudice and discrimination toward the ethnic minorities of the community.

Years later, Becker wrote “The Osseo

“It’s the International Student Association’s Spring Festival,” said Lindsay Giacomino, a senior majoring in linguistics and Spanish at SCSU. “We hold it every year, and it’s basically one of the biggest cultural events on campus.”

Giacomino said that attendance for the Spring Festival is usually high - one year, as much as 500 people came to see the show.

“There are cultural events usually every weekend, but it’s usually primarily one culture, and this one is more to bring ISA’s message of unity and diversity to life,” Giacomino said.

“We often have acts from all sorts of major international student groups, like Nepali Student Association, Ethiopian Student Association,

Korean Student Association, etcetera. But we also give time for some people who normally wouldn’t have the opportunity to perform who don’t have a student organization to fall under.”

“This is for a lot of the countries that couldn’t have their own cultural night,” said master of ceremonies Maximillian Prieto on Friday. “It’s going to be a mixture of all of them. There’s going to be dances, Latin dances, people singing, a lot of fun stuff with nunchucks, Jack [another MC]’s kung-fu... it’s going to be crazy.”

Prieto, a freshman at SCSU, said that during the show he would represent Spain -- another country that didn’t get to have its own cultural night. Halfway through the show Prieto played the ukelele as another MC, Hannah Frost, danced to the tune.

As to how Prieto got into hosting the Spring Festival, he said, “That’s a good question. A friend offered me, and I guess I thought it’d be a

History

Aviation has been a part of SCSU since the 1930s, when it began participating in the Federal Civilian Pilot Training program. The United States government sponsored this program and its primary purpose was to increase the number of civilian pilots, having a clear impact on military preparedness.

Then in 1949 the SCSU Aero Club, Inc. was established by a small group of students, faculty members and staff. As interest from students began to grow, SCSU began offering aviation classes on campus. An aviation emphasis was added to the Technology major offered in 1978 and by 1987 the university had a B.S. in Aviation approved.

Departmental status was granted in 1996 and the B.A.S. in Aviation Maintenance Management was added not long after.

Since this time SCSU has enjoyed being the only nationally accredited aviation program in the state of Minnesota; it is also the national leader in corporate aviation and three years IOW ILLML IV .)) IXXZW^ML IQZ \ZINÅK KWV\ZWT program.

One of the things that set the SCSU Aviation Department apart is how the program was run.

“SCSU doesn’t own a single plane; it’s one thing that makes this aviation program really unique. We started out as an Aero club, it’s a student-run organization that owns the airplanes. That’s how our department started, with MV\P][QI[\QK XMWXTM \PI\ _IV\ML \W TMIZV \W Æa and it just grew from there,” said Jessica Miller, member of the Aviation Ambassadors.

That fact, however, was not enough to save the program from being cut due to budget constraints. Earl H. Potter III, president of SCSU,

The controversial closing of the long-standing program has rippled waves of debate by students and faculty members alike. One thing is clear: As of May 2014, the last students of SCSU’s Aviation Department will be graduating.

The reasons why, however, are not as clear. made the announcement Sept. 28, 2011 that the aviation program, along with 29 other programs, would be cut and new admissions to the program would no longer be accepted. SCSU’s Aviation Department is the largest program affected by campus cost-cutting. The historic program will save the university $610,000 a year in expenses.

The appraisal of the Aviation Department centered on results gathered beginning in 2006, when enrollment dipped, fewer degrees were granted and the department was losing money.

1V ITWVM \PM LMXIZ\UMV\¼[ LMÅKQ\ _I[ about $250,000. In addition, the planning committee foresaw the need for expensive upgrades in training equipment and hiring faculty.

The closure of the SCSU aviation program has an impact which ranges further than the SCSU campus. The St. Cloud Regional Airport has a lot riding on the SCSU aviation program as well.

Airport Director Bill Towle said in a May 2011 Star Tribune article that the city relies heavily on student activity at the airport to justify federal funding, including all the money to staff the airport’s control tower. Losing the tower would hamper the region’s efforts to regain commercial airline service, he said. In the same article, former SCSU Aviation Department chairs Patrick Mattson and Ken Raiber said the ILUQVQ[\ZI\QWV¼[ ZI\QWVITM Q[ LMMXTa ÆI_ML# \PM program is being cut just as a recession-related slump is ending and commercial carriers are clamoring for pilots with four-year collegiate degrees, they said.

The St. Cloud City Council, the area planning organization and the airport advisory board have all called on SCSU to undo the closure.

“Neither Potter nor the provost have told us a legitimate reason to why the program is closing. Not once have they come over here to talk to us,” Johnson said.

Many aviation teachers are struggling with what to do next.

Angie Olson, an adjunct professor, doesn’t know what to expect.

“I should be part-time for the next semester or two, but after that I’m not really sure. Because I’m not a tenured faculty UMUJMZ 1 LWV¼\ OM\ IVa [MXIZI\QWV JMVMÅ\[ º she said.

Although teachers are unsure about their own futures, one thing remains constant: Encouraging students to pursue their dreams of aviation will not yield.

“I think it’s a loss to the students and to the university. The ripple effect of this program is huge, but the student results have been phenomenal and they make us not want to give up either,” said Olson.

Despite the closure, students are continuQVO \W ÅOP\ NWZ \PMQZ _QVO[ Many students in the SCSU aviation program are very disappointed that there will no longer be an accredited aviation school in Minnesota.

The closure of the program has caused some to become even more dedicated, however, said Shajive Jeganathan, vice president of the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE).

“I’ve noticed there is no loss of morale, no depressed people sitting around. There’s been a good approach,” he said.

According to Jeganathan the student organizations have been doing even more since the closure of the program was announced.

“You would expect a lot of students organizations to say, ‘We’re closing down, what difference does it make,’ but that’s not what’s happening. We’re doing a lot of things. They’re out there, they’re getting their name out there,” Jeganathan said.

In order to try and keep certain organizations going, the Aviation Ambassadors are going to merge with AAAE. The AAAE has even started to encourage students from all majors \W RWQV QV[\MIL WN SMMXQVO Q\ [XMKQÅK \W I^QI\QWV students.

For a program which is a lot more than simply numbers for those involved many are looking for a reason which involves a lot more than a budget.

The SCSU aviation program was one of 31 at SCSU which were nationally accredited.

Students currently enrolled in the program can graduate, but those who want take ÆaQVO TM[[WV[ _QTT PI^M \W OW W]\ WN [\I\M WZ to more expensive schools. The latest update from the aviation faculty is that by May 2014, the doors to aviation classrooms will be locked.

This has taken an emotional toll on students and faculty alike.

SCSU Records and Registration state there are currently 117 students enrolled in the aviation program, but faculty have said that there are more like 194 when those on military deployment are included.

St. Cloud aviation teachers are some of the many being affected by the closure.

Though many don’t see their class sizes LZWXXQVO aM\ ITT _IV\ LMÅVQ\M IV[_MZ[ I[ \W why the program is being closed for good.

The answers seem to vary.

Jeff Johnson, an SCSU Aviation teacher and city council member, doesn’t understand the reason behind the close.

“We’ve been given eight to ten reasons _Pa J]\ ITT _M _IV\ Q[ I LMÅVQ\M IV[_MZ ?M feel that this process wasn’t transparent and was done behind closed doors,” Johnson said.

Other teachers, like Johnson, were informed in writing about the closure in September of 2010, but have never been approached by President Potter himself.

Not only are students such as Oswald upset that the aviation program will no longer be running for students, but also that there will now be one less nationally accredited program in the U.S. While students may be frustrated about the closure of the program they are trying not to let it affect the time they still have at SCSU. Some have seen a dip in morale.

Bradlee Dean gave his opinions on patriotism, veterans, homosexuality, faith and the media.

Dean Continued from Page 1 performance and stood silently next to the walls. Some protesters lit up their phones. Some protesters held hands. Some protesters wore tape over their mouths. The protesters chanted “No hate at St. Cloud State,” before leaving.

The protesters left before the band ended their set.

Matt Pease, a junior at SCSU, evangelical Christian Libertarian and an active member of the Republican party, said, “The main thing that annoys me is the fact that the College Republicans invited him to come. The Republican Party should be the party of limited government and personal freedom. That’s our mission.

Promoting some kind of preacher person of any religion to come and speak under the College Republican banner, I don’t think is appropriate.

“It’s really stupid and I know some people in the CR didn’t really care for this.”

Jarrod Wiggins, the newly elected Student Government President, handed out pamphlets with the SCSU policy related to the Right to Assemble to the group of demonstrators. The policy was also posted on the doors of Ritsche.

Ilse said about the protesters, “All I can say is that I’m sorry you’re hurt by this. I think it’s great that they’re practicing their right to assemble. I think it’s beautiful. We will practice our right of freedom of speech also. I encourage them to actually listen to the message that he’s presenting instead of just listening to what they’ve heard.”

The protesters held an open forum outside of Ritsche after their demonstration, where protesters told personal stories of homophobic discrimination, reasons why they were there and

their disagreement with Dean’s presence.

Dean has made headlines recently for a LMNIUI\QWV TI_[]Q\ PM ÅTML IOIQV[\ 5;6*+¼[ Rachel Maddow, who he alleges used his words out of context on her show.

“That’s why you have all these gay kids coming in who are mad at me,” Dean said, “because of Rachel Maddow.”

Dean held a presentation after Junkyard Prophet played. During his presentation he gave his opinion on veterans, the media, faith, abortion, the United States and homosexuality.

Dean said in his presentation, “They’re [the media] going to take what happened outside and they’re going to highlight that and they’re going to forget about the message. And they’ll try to demean me any way they can just to highlight how people are being picked upon. I’m not picking on anybody.”

Dean added, “Nobody knows who I am or what I do. I do high school assemblies.”

Dean thanked the College Republicans after the presentation and held a question and answer forum. Some protesters argued over his points during the forum.

Pease said, “As a Christian, I’ve kinda looked through his message and it doesn’t really square with my idea of the message of the gospel, which is all about a personal relationship rather than trying to arbitrarily impose Judeo-Christian values and concepts on a society. It’s not through the use of coercive force that I believe we’re going to save anyone and not through the law.”

Junkyard Prophet’s performance began on Tuesday at 7 p.m., with Dean’s talk beginning at 8. 38 p.m. people were counted at Dean’s speech.

The NOH8 protest began at 6:30 and 97 people were counted in attendance.

Additional reporting for this story was provided by Molly Willms.

Samantha Ivey heard the chanting voices of angry students in her sleep for months.

The voices, chanting, “Hell no, we won’t go. We want Mahmoud back,” echoed through the halls of Atwood until the Cascade room rang with students who wanted little more than to be heard.

On Oct. 6, 2011, a group of students and faculty protesting the dismissal of Mahmoud Saffari entered the Student Government meeting to make their voices heard.

While Ivey, president of Student Government, did VW\ _IV\ \PQ[ M^MV\ \W LMÅVM her presidency, she said it was a learning experience for everyone in the room and the experience was invaluable, adding it was the toughest part of her year.

The passion was palpable in the room, Ivey said.

“I walked through the crowd and I thought one of them was going to swing at me. That is how passionate these people were. I thought this could turn into a riot at any second,” she said, adding Student Government upheld their most important function as being a voice for students.

“After that there were so many open forums for students of color to go to and really air their grievances. And Student Government went to a lot of those,” Ivey said.

Chris Norton, Student Government vice president, said from the perspective of Student Government everything was handled as well as it could have been given the circumstances.

“I didn’t see the value in quelling the voice of the [\]LMV\[ <PI\¼[ LMÅVQ\MTa VW\ our function. I think that’s contradictory to what we are doing,” Norton said.

Across all parties, however, Ivey felt this situation could have been dealt with in a more productive way.

“There were jokes made by administrators that prob-

ably shouldn’t have been made. One of them said, ‘He KW]TL PI^M JMMV ÅZML JMKI][M what if he was an alien from outer space? We don’t know.’

That could have been the reason,’” she said.

While Student Government continues to be a voice for the students of SCSU, Lloyd Sandstrom, Student Government senator, said the role has been greatly reduced [QVKM PQ[ ÅZ[\ [\QV\ WV ;\]LMV\ Government in the mid-70s.

“I think they’ve allowed it to be reduced. We need to reassert our authority. We need to stand up and say enough is enough is enough,” he said.

Sandstrom said Student Government has surrendered too much and the administration has taken advantage.

“I don’t think Dr. Potter has taken one inch more than we’ve given him but we’ve given him a mile,” he said.

The relationship between Student Government and the administration is one of sigVQÅKIV\ QUXWZ\IVKM 6WZ\WV said, adding administration has been very supportive and willing to work with Student Government to do whatever they can.

“I think they are going to make extremely well-informed and researched decisions.

Rarely are any decisions are made without student input,” he said.

Building up a rapport over the years and building up the trust of the administration has been essential, Ivey said.

“There have been times when we have just been ÆI\ W]\ \WTL VW J]\ \PMa IZM always willing to sit down and talk with us and listen.

They’re not our enemies by any means,” she said. “President Potter always wants to know what we think about something.”

One of the major implementations Student Government has worked with administration on this year is the Veterans Resource Center.

“In terms of setting the future students at St. Cloud State up for success, especially with the increasing population

of veterans coming back, then aM[ LMÅVQ\MTa CQ\ _I[ \PM JQOgest success],” Ivey said.

A resolution was passed to put the vote to the students on the fall referendum. The resolution process does one of three things, Ivey said.

“Resolutions are a threepronged thing: they are a direction to the president, they start a conversation and they get a foot in the door,” she said. Ivey said everything other than student opinion must go through President Potter.

“President Potter is the ÅVIT [QOVI\WZa WV M^MZa\PQVO# Policies, budgets, even student fee budgets. Pretty much anything other than our opinion is signed off by him,” she said. ?PMV KWVÆQK\[ IZQ[M JMtween students and administration, more times than not, the short-term view masks the long-term view, Norton said.

“I’m not saying I agree with every decision they make, but thinking long-term it’s hard for me to say they have made any poor decisions. I do feel the right input has been put into those decisions. It is very research focused and they are trying to better serve the needs of the demographics here, but also our future students going forward,” he said.

Ivey, Norton and Sand[\ZWU ITT IOZMML \PM ÆW_ WN information to students needs to be improved.

We need to do a better job of disseminating information both ways, Ivey said.

“So much of what we do nobody cares about until it goes into effect,” Sandstrom said. “We have discrimination going on on this campus that nobody talks about and it needs to be addressed. We’ve got to get a better message out to the students. We need to [\WX \PM QVÅOP\QVO OM\ I KTMIZ and consistent voice and the students will respond. But we haven’t had that.”

Sandstrom had no comment as to why Student Government hasn’t had that.

SCSU supportive of Dean event, doesn’t condone message Molly Willms MANAGING EDITOR

The local chapter of the College Republicans was at the center of controversy this week.

The event they hosted on the SCSU campus was cause for a counter-demonstration, sanctions by the state’s Republican party and silence from the university itself.

“We are a public institution,” said Judith Siminoe, special adviser to the university president, “and because we are committed to the ideals of free speech and particularly students having the opportunity to hear and respond to different ideas, we try to foster free speech.

You have to protect speech, even if it is hateful, wrong and if it makes people uncomfortable, that’s not a reason you can use to suppress speech.”

Siminoe elaborated that the views of the College republicans and of Bradlee Dean and

his ministries may not be similar to her own, but that the university cannot, by law, restrict speech that does not pose a physical threat.

“If someone is expressing distaste or hatred toward a group of people, that’s probably hurtful to those people, but they don’t have to be there,” Siminoe said, “and we would not try to stop that, because people can express wrong opinions.”

Siminoe went on to say that the university’s concern was for keeping within policy on this event as with any event.

“That particular space – this evening, Ritsche Auditorium and the foyer leading into the auditorium – has been reserved by a student organization for a particular event and so it’s our responsibility that that event is able to go ahead without disruption.”

Siminoe stressed the fact that free speech can only be restricted in cases of physical danger to individuals. It has to be provable that speech is directly linked to harmful action.

“We have to take care that the speech that we prohibit is actually linked to conduct or behavior that could cause injury,” she said.

United States law stipulates that all speech is XZW\MK\ML ]VLMZ \PM ÅZ[\ IUMVLUMV\ M`KMX\ \PI\ which poses an imminent threat to individuals.

Additionally, the university’s open space policy prevents speech that may cause a panic or disrupt classes.

“That policy is certainly intended to embody the principle that we’re a public place and we want people to express ideas and think about them and come up with responses,” Siminoe said.

Dean is perhaps most famous for his outspoken criticism of homosexual behavior. Some of the protesters outside Tuesday’s event were present in opposition to that particular aspect of Dean’s ministry.

“We do not want to have individuals, _PI\M^MZ \PMQZ INÅTQI\QWV[ IVL OZW]X[ IVL QVterests and the things that matter to them, their

identity, we don’t want to have students made to feel unwelcome on our campus,” Siminoe said when asked what the university would say to gay rights activists and the LGBT community.

Dean has been quoted condemning homosexual acts, but maintains that neither he nor his group has ever called for the harm or killing of homosexual people.

His mission, according to his website, is to show love by warning: warning homosexuals that their behavior is sinful is, according to his organization, showing them love.

“The university isn’t supporting that message,” Siminoe said. “The university is supporting the activity of that student organization and their ability, like all student organizations, to have speakers and conversations and to explore ideas.

“Were not condoning the message, we’re just supporting the activity.”

Knitting Continued from Page 1 “… I spent a couple of weeks in Uganda and Ethiopia and that’s when I was really sold,” Beard explained. “… that really motivated me and is why this is all worth it.”

Volunteers from the community gathered to form assembly lines within the Atwood Ballroom to make meals which would reach children in Africa.

Volunteers Mary and Jim Michaud have been participating in Kids Against Hunger’s efforts to eliminate world hunger since 2009.

Upon retiring after over 30 years of teaching, the couple decided to volunteer their time to not only the children of St. Cloud, but the world.

“We wanted to do something more,” Mary said. “It’s a great way to give back.”

Developed by food scientists from corporations such as General Mills and Pillsbury, the meals consist of white long-grain rice, crushed soy, dried mixed vegetables, and a nutrient powder. Each package contains six servings and 21 essential vitamins and minerals. At $0.23 per package, a dollar has the potential to feed over 20 people.

“We use our food as a short-term hunger relief. We don’t consider it a long-term solution,” Beard explained. “We are partnering with organizations and are working towards long-term solutions like sustainability through education and the teaching of vocational skills…”

For more information regarding Kids Against Hunger – Central Minnesota, contact Pam Beard at 320-203-1799. Assemblies are held multiple times per month throughout the year at their warehouse located in Sauk Rapids.

Hunger package assembly, allowing volunteers to not only feed the hungry, but learn a new skill and donate their work.

Isolde Mueller, faculty liaison for service learning for the Department of Campus Involvement and a German language professor at SCSU, learned to knit at the age of six.

However, it was not until her teenage years that she began taking joy in her craft.

“It’s about community,” said Mueller. “For

me, I like to sit around and talk and knit… it’s a nice way of connecting with people while also doing something…”

The yarn for the event was donated by individuals on campus.

“Because we have so much yarn, we are thinking about doing this on a regular basis in the fall semester,” Mueller said. “People can get together and talk and knit.”

Mueller hopes to hold monthly luncheons

beginning in the fall semester where fellow knitters can join together for a cause.

Volunteers crafted knitted squares that were to be sent to Warm Up America! (WUA!). The organization has helped tens of thousands of people to stay warm through the donation of hand-made afghans, caps, and other woolen items.

Starting in front of the PAC, protesters then moved south toward the Wick Science Building. They then traveled passed the construction site of ISELF, the new technology, science and engineering building. Continuing on Eighth Street, the group made their way to the edge of campus, marching along Fifth Avenue.

University policy on student dismissal by behavioral violation is complex and often involves several members of the faculty.

“We receive alleged violations of the student code of conduct from various areas,” said Gerald Bulisco, assistant dean of students for Student Life and Development. “It could be a write-up by a CA, for example, or it could be from the St. Cloud Police Department.”

The way Student Life and Development handles each procedure is dependent upon the severity of the action.

“Let’s say we have a ÅZ[\ \QUM WNNMVLMZ ]VLMZIOM consumption,” said Judith Siminoe, special adviser to the president. “We would likely have an informal meeting. If the student accepts responsibilQ\a _M \Za \W ÅO]ZM I ZMI[WVable consequence.”

For more severe cases, such as distribution of narcotics or assault, the matter would be brought to a conduct board.

This board would discuss the issue at a hearing, look at both sides and make a decision.

The board is made up of

two faculty members and three students.

During review of the alleged violation, SCSU is able to provide necessary information regarding the violation.

They can bring in witnesses to the violation, if there are any.

They are also able to bring in any persons who are considered the victim in special accounts.

The student being brought up on sanctions also has the opportunity to defend themselves and give any evidence that would support their argument.

“This is not a court,” Bulisco said. “This is administrative procedure.”

Once the student has provided information, if they choose to do so, and the university has done the same, the decision is left to the conduct board. The board will then discuss if one of the codes in the Student Code of Conduct has been violated.

If the board rules that one or more of the codes has been broken, they then refer back to SCSU administration and the student. The university then makes a recommendation for discipline, whether it be suspension, probation or another form. The student then makes

“Stay in school, talk to your parents, don’t be afraid to speak. Tell people ‘no’ when you feel like you’re pressured,” Jones said. “Don’t be afraid of the police like I was.”

After serving over a decade in the Moose Lake Correctional Facility, Jones explains his motive behind writing the letter to the youth of St. Cloud.

“I just wanted to help the kids that are in the same situation I was in. I never had guidance in my life and this has been a long experience for me, but a learning one.

By me giving this back, it’s like I’m giving back to my son.”

Once both parties have made a recommendation, the board then meets separately again to decide the appropriate sanction.

An important aspect of these sanctions is to “keep the door open” for students that have been suspended or dismissed.

“A student might have done something that deserves suspension or should be off campus for a year or two,” Bulisco said. “There’s usually a period of time and some conditions to be met before a student can be let back.”

The decision of the board can weigh on several things, most of which involve academic or misconduct records.

Factors that could tip the board’s decision include grade point average, number of violations as well as considered majors.

They will also ask the student questions such as, “How often do you drink?” and “When you do, how much do you drink in a night?”

The aim of these meetings is to get a feelings for the student’s lifestyle, and whether or not the violation under consideration could happen again.

Regarding his plans for the future, Jones hopes to reach out to youth who are experiencing similar situations.

“I’m willing to put myself out there,” Jones said. “It makes me feel like a responsible person. It makes me feel like a positive role model.

It makes me feel like people care about me and that’s something I never thought I had… that’s why I was making those bad choices.”

After some time, it spread to the whole university and now is open to everyone in the campus to participate. The SRC is a way for students to show their research to the public. It allows undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students an opportunity to present their research in collaboration with faculty as a vital component of higher education here at SCSU. Students will receive funding from a large number of sources, including the funds from their department, college/school, local companies, community partners, and student research funds. The student research fund application process funds $30,000 in student research each academic year.

By participating in the SRC, the best projects can earn students a scholarship or cash prize.

Joseph Salzer and Anthony DeStefano, both students from SCSU, are doing research about the variable stars.

“This is the second time being in the colloquium, previously I did a project with Dr. Liu on uniform circular motion and currently I am doing the research about variable stars,” DeStefano said.

“I observe the variable stars in the winter sky, I observe one of the constellation Orion and another one is Perseus,” Salzer said Students tend to spend lots of time on their research in order to collect all the data and present it to the audience.

The colloquium had sessions running from 8 a.m. to 6:20 p.m. and the awards ceremony began at 6:30 p.m. and lasted until 8 p.m.

Participants will have the chance to present their poster or slide show to the public. ‘’I have never presented before so it makes me a little bit nervous. But I believe that it should go well,” Salzer said.

Three workshops were also available at the

colloquium over the lunch hour from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. The workshops are Marketing Student Research to Future Employers (providing tips to students how to apply the skills gained from the research projects in the future), Graduate School Mystery Revealed (giving the information about graduate school) and Fulbright Grants for Students (providing information about Fulbright grant opportunities, what to prepare, how to apply, and what an award consists of).

Taking the orders of the audience Molly Willms INCOMING EDITOR

Hello, my name is Molly. I’ll be your server today.

If we’re to believe the words of our parents and high school guidance counselors, the whole reason we’re going to college is to avoid having to say those words at work every day.

As for me, I like the idea of serving people.

I became a journalist because I have two ambitions: writing and helping XMWXTM 2W]ZVITQ[U Q[ I ÅMTL that, if done ethically and with passion, is the marriage of these two passions.

Over the last year, the Chronicle has done a lot in an attempt to help people.

As is the case whenever authority is questioned or the truth is sought, we faced some frustration and accusations from all sides.

Journalism is not an

easy business. If you’re interested in telling the truth and giving voice to the voiceless, you have to be prepared to be unpopular.

I have had more than one day this year where I have feared backlash from fellow students, administration or faculty. It’s much easier to pick on student journalists for not saying what you want than it is to mobilize and help us see how we could do better by our audience.

If you’re only interested in seeing your name in print, hearing your voice on the radio, having your picture on a website or looking pretty in front of a camera, journalism is easy.

If you’re interested in [MZ^QVO \PM X]JTQK INÆQK\ing the comfortable and KWUNWZ\QVO \PM INÆQK\ML IVL seeking the truth in order to promote true democracy, journalism is grueling, trying and lonely.

The Wall Street Journal

recently ranked newspaper reporter at 195 out of 200 on its best/worst jobs list. This may have been tongue-in-cheek, or bitterness from reporters themselves.

If your ambition is to make lots of money and be widely admired, having all your actions lauded and understood by the masses, there’s a good chance you’re not interested in truly making a difference.

There’s a good chance you’d rate journalism at 195.

I have no illusions about my career choice: I can’t save the world, and I certainly don’t know what’s best for everybody.

I do know that a democracy of our kind can’t function without dutiful public servants keeping tabs on big business and politics, public servants whose pockets aren’t lined with the money of those who have no interest in anything

JMaWVL XZWÅ\ I’m proud of the job the Chronicle has done this year. We’ve certainly made mistakes, but we’ve also shed light on some important issues and facilitated some serious dialogue with everyone from students to administration.

After all this, I can say _Q\P [WUM KWVÅLMVKM \PI\ I’m less popular on this campus than I was a year ago.

If I’ve done my job, I can live with unpopularity.

It comes with telling the truth and opining from the perspective of a young person who believes in equality and truth.

That said, my audience is my employer. Anything I can do to better serve them is something I need to hear about.

Hello, my name is Molly.

How can I help you?

Misbehaving pets more dangerous than funny Ciara Pritschet COPY EDITOR

I never saw “Marley and Me” and I haven’t read the book, either.

So maybe I’m not the best one to talk about this, but I remember, very vividly, the commercials on the TV for that movie. They featured a yellow lab behaving like it had a death wish. He ate chocolate cake, and climbed out of a moving car’s window.

And somehow this was worth not only a book, but also a movie. Because people were okay with this behavior from a dog.

I know it was meant to be funny, a way to make the end touching when he dies, but I don’t ÅVL UQ[JMPI^QVO LWO[ N]VVa )\ ITT Growing up, Dad wanted a hunting dog, so he got a golden retriever he let me name Rose.

She turned out to be gun shy (afraid of sudden, loud noises like a gunshot) so we got Rip, a yellow lab, two years later.

When Rip died nine years later, we got Raven, a black lab. Dad made sure that our dogs were well-trained, because he understood that untrained dogs are dangerous to themselves and others.

Dogs live in a world that is controlled by humans, and runs on human logic. Things that exist in this world, especially if they exist in human homes and communities, must conform to that logic.

Unfortunately for our best friends, they aren’t about to pick up human social structure on their own. We have to translate the rules from human to dog. Rules like “don’t eat my food,” “don’t leave out the car window,” and “don’t bite strangers” are rules that dogs need to

understand because breaking each of these rules can lead to their death.

Humans that bring a dog into their lives need to understand how dogs think, and why they act the way they act to they can translate ‘don’t run into the street’ so that their dog understands not to run into the street.

That means that you must have an obedient dog. Dogs aren’t smart enough to understand that running in and out of the road is dangerous, but they are smart enough to understand that they shouldn’t leave the house unless their owner says they can.

Obedient dogs don’t see themselves as the leader of their pack, which means that they don’t have to worry about things that alphas would normally worry about, like territorial invasions. They will assume that because you let this person into the territory, they’re probably not a threat, so they won’t try to bite guests or growl at them, and will be friendlier.

They won’t steal food (or anything that might seem edible, but actually isn’t) from the counters, because they know its not theirs. <PMa LWV¼\ PI^M \W _WZZa IJW]\ ÅO]ZQVO W]\ what’s going on, or anything else, because they believe you will take care of them.

It sounds like a very relaxed place to be, mentally.

Understanding your pets’ behavior is an important part of pet ownership. Feeding your dog may keep it alive, but knowing what goes on in their head will help improve their quality of life immeasurably.

Unless you’re willing to commit to learning it and working with it, then please don’t get a pet.

Paywalls: another wall to climb over Jun-Kai Teoh OUTGOING EDITOR “I’m Kai, the online guy.”

And I’m here to tell you that the news industry is going the wrong way with its approach to the online world.

“Paywalls” aren’t the answer, it’s not the solution, it’s a knee-jerk reaction that the industry might very well regret in the future.

Make no mistake, I think the print industry PI[ VW KPWQKM J]\ \W ÅVL I _Ia \W \]ZV I XZWÅ\ from its online presence. There’s no question that the digital world will eventually replace print -- this coming from a man that loves the very feel and texture of a newspaper - but throwing up a paywall isn’t the right mentality or approach.

News isn’t free. Information isn’t free. We would like to imagine that it is, to think that it is, but oftentimes it’s just a cost that’s been “footed” by somebody else. We just don’t see it or feel it ourselves.

But paywalls aren’t the answer.

Paywalls are the print industry’s equivalent to the entertainment industry’s DRM (digital rights management).

“I’m Kai, the online guy. I believe piracy is the way the public is voicing its discontent with the industry, not the manifestation of their wish to be thieves and crooks.”

The advent of the Internet threw the entire print industry into somewhat of a disarray.

For a really long time newspapers were in a rather comfortable spot, requiring minimal \_MIS[ QV \PM XZWL]K\ ZMIXQVO QV \PM XZWÅ\[ But the onslaught of the Internet was an entirely different beast. It opened up an entirely different avenue for people and the product that the industry sold (read: the newspaper/magazine etc.) had to be re-thought and re-envisioned.

The way it was produced, delivered and sold to its consumers had to be changed, but like the behemoth that it is, it shuddered at the thought of change and tried to hold on.

Think of a T-rex, if you would.

The entertainment industry has had to face similar problems in the past. When the VCR came out, when cassettes came out, when the Compact Disc (we know them as CDs) was released, there were lawsuits and battles to keep them away because it forced the entertainment industry to think differently. <PMa [XMV\ UWVMa WV \ZaQVO \W ÅOP\ \PM VCR, the CDs and the cassettes instead of thinking of ways to make it work for them.

Why? Because like the print industry, it’s a large lumbering beast that is comfortable where it is -- right by the cave paintings.

With the internet, they fought with the Digital Millenium Copyright Act and recently SOPA, ACTA and CISPA. They’ve made entertainment in digital media ridiculously inaccessible at times. In the gaming

world for example, DRM is synonymous with user nightmares. From the famous Tages and SecuROM softwares that brought software problems to its users to Ubisoft’s online authentication that kicked players out of games, DRM became a problem for legitimate users.

Now, the print industry isn’t anywhere as convoluted yet. Paywalls are fairly simple right now: if you pay, you get access.

But the ideology is somewhat of the same: let’s make our consumers go through more needless hoops.

The keyword here is the word “needless,” because to consumers, it’s really just needless. They can easily just hop off to another website.

Perhaps the news industry should look at Valve and their digital platform, Steam.

Steam started off on shaky ground but M^MV\]ITTa KI\IX]T\ML QV\W KMZ\QÅIJTM []KKM[[ <PM difference with this platform and other DRM is that Valve’s approach is this: It’s not what you take away from your customers, it’s what you give them.

It made buying legitimate games a pleasure by offering a plethora of little conveniences and features that made life that much more enjoyable.

Valve’s approach is this: If you don’t mind a slightly longer elevator ride, we’ll give you the penthouse suite.

Most other DRM approach is this: Why don’t I kick you off the roof of this building with

a parachute and wish you good luck?

The news/print industry may sell newspapers or magazines, but they make money mostly out of ads. With a few exceptions such as perhaps the New York Times, few others have print sales that can challenge their ad revenue. ?PQKP UISM[ Q\ JINÆQVO \PI\ \PMa¼ZM \ZaQVO [W hard to nickel and dime readers by forcing them to pay online.

And you know what? There are ways around it. Even the less tech-savvy people can easily ÅO]ZM \PMU W]\ So what will the news industry likely do next?

Tighten the security? And how will the masses respond? They’ll get sneakier. And security will tighten more. And soon we might see a piracy issue with the news too -- if everything truly starts to get bleak.

“I’m Kai, the online guy. Stop putting up umbrellas and tents and let’s just dance in the rain.”

Forget about paywalls. The New York Times is doing it? Yeah, but even then the ideology behind it remains the same. They may be able to make it work, but it’s just pushing the news industry down the wrong path (ah, I guess there goes my future application to work there).

No, let’s think about how we can serve the masses, the public, the global community instead of how we can squeeze every drop of their hard earned money.

A sophomore in school and life

Lauren Willms OPINIONS EDITOR

As a transfer student at SCSU, I had high hopes for my sophomore year. I was ready to get going towards my major, take that maturity leap, and start feeling like a real student.

I was leaving the nest, so to speak, IVL 1 ÅO]ZML \PI\ \PQ[ \QUM QV Ua TQNM would broaden my horizon and help create my adult personality.

As it turns out, it felt a whole lot like freshman year, just with a different view.

transfer students have to register last, essentially leaving us with the bottom of the barrel for class selection).

I did enjoy some of my general courses, and I managed to sneak one or two pre-major ones in there as _MTT# PW_M^MZ 1 KW]TLV¼\ PMTX J]\ NMMT that I was extending my high school career rather than beginning my colTMOM WVM 1¼U []ZM UIVa W\PMZ[ NMMT or felt this way, and I empathize with you.

walking from English 101 to math 101 to science 101.

A different view on ‘doomsday’

Joe Edmonds COPY EDITOR

In recorded history there have been many doomsday scenarios that have laid out the imminent destruction of the human race.

Whether it is a biblical-era scholar predicting the end of the world, or a crack-pot Nostradamus interpreter, there have always been (and always will be) XMWXTM _PW JMTQM^M \PMa SVW_ _PMV -IZ\P¼[ N][M Q[ OWing to run out and we all get blasted into oblivion.

The most recent scenario predicts that the world will end on Dec. 21, 2012. While this is as crazy as the rest of the other dooms-day predictions, it does have the most merit out of all the theories that have been around in recent years.

There are several predictions about our soon-to-be LMI\P LIa [M\ NWZ <PM ÅZ[\ IVL UW[\ XWX]TIZ Q[ the ending of the Mayan calendar.

The Mayans wrote their calender several hundred years ago, and were able to predict the orbit of the moon and earth around the sun for many years to come even after the collapse of their society. However, \PM ZMI[WV \PQ[ ZIQ[M[ I ZML ÆIO NWZ [W UIVa XMWXTM Q[ that the calendar stops at December 21st, 2012 according to our calender. Many people also have discovered that they Mayans predicted a radical change to occur on that day. While this does not have to mean the end of the world, many attention hungry anthropologists have called it that to get good press.

However, this theory holds absolutely no merit. <PMZM Q[ I ÅVM TQVM JM\_MMV NIQ\P IVL O]TTQJQTQ\a IVL to believe that an extinct culture could predict the end of days several hundred years into the future is plain

gullibility.

However skewed the Mayan calendar theory is, many scientists actually hold the same date (or at least time frame) in high regard. Every few hundred thou[IVL aMIZ[ \PM XTIVM\¼[ XWTIZQ\a _QTT [PQN\ As of yet, humans have not been alive to witness a polarity shift. Many scientists believe that the poles will yet again begin to shift on the winter solstice, which happens at the end of December right around the 21st. Needless to say, our poles shifting would be a very catastrophic event. Many things depend on our magnetic poles, the most important is protection from solar radiation.

However, like every other 2012 theory, there are [M^MZIT PWTM[ <PM JQOOM[\ WVM Q[ Y]Q\M OIXQVO IK\]ITTa It would take around 5,000 years for the poles to be completely reversed. While it is true that many scientist believe we are due for another pole change, there is not [QOVQÅKIV\ LI\M I\\IKPML \W _PMV \PQ[ _W]TL [\IZ\ -^MV when this does start to happen, the changes will be so QV[QOVQÅKIV\ \PI\ Q\ _QTT VW\ UISM I LQNNMZMVKM Recently, a movie was made about the changes that are supposedly going to happen on our death day. This movie was called 2012, a terribly written lie that is supposed to scare the viewer into thinking that all this could actually happen.

It makes me sick when a production company XZWÅ\[ WNN [KIZM \IK\QK[ \PI\ WVTa XMZXM\]I\M \PM XIZInoia of the already shaky psyche that is America. This UW^QM Q[ ÅK\QWV 1\ _I[ LM[QOVML \W UISM UWVMa IVL we can leave it at that.

This seems oddly reminiscent of Y2K, where nothing happened. The people who tell you the world is going to end on Dec. 21, 2012 are looking for money, attention, or both.

Lets all wake up as a society and start to think for ourselves, rather than listen to what some other guy says.

His death was not due to “irresponsibility”. Every day, Palestinian parents lose their children to Israeli soldiers shooting guns which read, “Made in Pennsylvania, U.S.A.” Palestinians are stopped for hours at the Check Points every day on their way to work and lose the right to support for their families. These are not acts of government irresponsibility.

Millions of people live behind a wall in Gaza that _WV¼\ ITTW_ \PMU IKKM[[ \W NWWL _I\MZ MUXTWaUMV\ or medicine. Khadijia, Gaza, was found in 2008, dead from 16 bullets and a 7 month old in her body.

Holocaust survivor/ human rights activist, Hedy Epstein was in her 70s when she was strip-searched at the Tel-Aviv airport for being a non-violent resister of the war on Palestinians.

It has perpetuated I [a[\MU WN OZW[[ ZIKQIT LQ[KZQUQVI\QWV IVL QVMY]ITQ\a It has systematically incarcerated and tortured thousands of Palestinians”. Apartheid is not irresponsibility.

Huskypalooza puts spin on the night Photos taken by Jun-Kai Teoh Staff Report

The Atwood mall saw an invasion of rides, games and free food on Thursday as Huskypalooza took over the venue. .WVLTa KITTML \PM ¹*TQbzardshack” of spring, Huskypalooza was a way to end the semester with a bang instead of a whimper, with laughter instead of exam stress and with mocktinis instead of energy drinks.

Starting the day off early was the “Scrambler” carnival ride, which was set up and giving students rides as early as noon that day.

But it wasn’t until about 6 p.m. that the day started to get busier.

)V QVÆI\IJTM JW`QVO ring was set up, an outdoor rock climbing area was con[\Z]K\ML NWW\ IY]I UI[[IOM stations were made available – Huskypalooza tried to cater to everyone and anyone’s interest.

It had a little bit of something for everyone, and the promise of free food always helps draw the crowd as well.

Later in the night saw the dubstep performance of DJ Nostalgia entertain the crowds of students, ending the night with a wobble and a drop – but hopefully not the semester.

Dessa discusses Doomtree’s dreams Andrew Gnirk STAFF WRITER

Doomtree is storming the Red Carpet Night Club to bring their music and energy to the St. Cloud area.

On Thursday, April 26 at 9 p.m. the group will be performing in an event presented by SCSU’s campus radio, KVSC. Acoustic hip-hop act A Loud Heart will be opening.

Dessa, a long-time member of Doomtree, took time to give an interview about the group and their music, as well as her own career.

What are you looking forward to most about the show?

Dessa: Doomtree always likes playing shows collectively, you know, where there’s all seven of us. Whenever most of us can be on stage together, it’s something we look forward to. Six of us will be there. I think Paper Tiger is in New York still.

What are the biggest differences between performing in Minnesota and performing elsewhere?

D: I think Doomtree’s had the opportunity to play for Minnesota audiences for the better part of a decade. We won over a good share of those people, and so playing in Minnesota is fun because there’s the hometown advantage. People know the words and the music, whereas playing in other states is often more of a ÅZ[\ I]LQ\QWV WN [PIZQVO \PI\ UI\MZQIT NWZ \PM ÅZ[\ \QUM

?I[ Q\ LQNÅK]T\ \W UISM \PM \ZIV[Q\QWV NZWU [XWSMV word to rapping?

D: I think making good art is hard in any medium. It’s hard \W JMKWUM XZWÅKQMV\ I[ I [TIU XWM\ IVL Q\ _I[ PIZL \W TMIZV PW_ to be a good singer [and a rapper]. It took a lot of hard work to hone those skills.

What are Doomtree’s plans for the future, both on the whole and individually?

D: Less than a week after we play St. Cloud, we’ll be embarkQVO WV W]Z ÅZ[\ -]ZWXMIV \W]Z <PMV _PMV _M ZM\]ZV _M¼TT JM playing Rock the Garden here in Minnesota, a festival in Seattle, and also Lollapalooza in Chicago. So we’ve got our work cut out for us with the collective this summer. And then in the fall we’ll start seeing some more Doomtree solo projects. We’ve [also] got tentative plans for a DVD. On a more philosophic note, what do you think are the keys for independent music – hip-hop or otherwise – to survive during our times?

D: Well, I think the challenges that the music industry is going through have little to do with our independent music industry.

Doomtree’s never been part of a big machine, has never had a big distributor. We’ve never been signed to a major label, so while I read about those challenges on blogs and Billboard, that isn’t actually what we’re made of. Our business plan hasn’t changed \WW LZIUI\QKITTa QV \PM Å^M WZ \MV aMIZ[ _M¼^M ZMITTa JMMV LWQVO this aggressively.

So you would say Doomtree is insulated from the problems of the major record labels?

D: I would say we’ve been insulated from the big problems of the big labels, but we’ve also been insulated from the big successes of the big labels. We’ve grown slowly and we’ve grown organically and that makes us a little sturdier. It means that our ascent isn’t meteoric; it’s not rapid in the same way that artists who have a ton of capital behind them can grow. But I think we’ve spent carefully, I think we’ve built carefully, and I think that maintaining a very tight grasp on our authenticity and creative control has been key for the stuff that we’re trying to do.

How did you get involved with Doomtree?

D: 1 _I[ I NIV ÅZ[\ IVL \PMV I NZQMVL IVL \PMV _I[ I[SML \W be a member I think in 2003 or 2004 by the rest of the group. )VL 1 [IQL ¹aM[º JMNWZM \PMa KW]TL ÅVQ[P I[SQVO \PM Y]M[\QWV How did you get started with music in general?

D: My mom was a singer and so I always had singing around the house; you know, whether we were doing dishes together or whether we were running errands in the car. Singing was a big part of growing up. I didn’t think about being a singer vocationally until I was much older, probably about twenty, and I entered the rap scene through the portal of spoken word, performing slam poetry.

Those who made the trip to see the SCSU Theatre’s production, “Talking to Terrorists”, might have been surprised to see a caution sign on the door to the theatre.

The sign read, “Warning! This show contains stories, images, and sounds that could be triggering.”

“Talking to Terrorists” was meant to trigger more than just a reaction to the sights and sounds of the play, but also of thought and questions.

Director Vladimir Rovinsky said it is about raising the question of “is it right to go somewhere with force to defend innocence knowing that innocence will then be injured?” How many innocent people are worth the removal of one evil doer, he then asked.

The play was meant as a chance to hear unheard [\WZQM[ WN M` UMUJMZ[ WN \MZZWZQ[\ WZOIVQbI\QWV[ *ITIVKML by stories of those who were victims and witnesses of the destruction these people caused.

Originally written by Robin Soans, the play was based off the interviews of real people who either participated

The production put an extra focus on making the case that the people labeled as terrorists were most likely victims of state-sponsored terrorism on their people as in the case of \PM 1[ZIMTQ IVL 8ITM[\QVQIV KWVÆQK\ Katie Sigler who attended the play Sunday said, “The way countries seems to be dealing with international terrorism is by blaming the victim.”

She went on to explain that countries using violence to deal with terrorism are creating more victims, and then blaming them for the destruction of their own communities ultimately inspires more terrorism.

This brings into question the way governments sometimes choose to combat terrorism with more violence. As stated in the preface by Pheobe, a relief worker played by Breann Thorne, the reason the cycle of terrorism continues is due to the fact that nobody will listen to the stories of those involved. The theme of the play was to address the need for society to hear these stories.

Each part the production was similar to watching a LWK]UMV\IZa ÅTU QV\MZ^QM_ ;]J\TM IK\QVO ILLML IK\QWV \W what was being described by the person speaking. In the background there were corresponding video clips of various scenes of terrorist destruction that aided in the telling of the stories, but did not distract from what was being said.

At the end of each performance, director Rovinsky brought his cast out on the stage to hold a discussion with the audience. He explained this was to help facilitate the understanding of the play, and to give the audience a chance to ask about the experience the actors went through in preparing for their roles. ¹1\ _I[ \ZI]UI\QbQVO \W QVQ\QITTa [\IZ\ OWQVO \PZW]OP these characters,” David Jensen said, who played an exUVF member.

Jensen said these were real stories being shared, and Rovinsky had instilled in them early that the cast were to be more like lenses into these lives rather than just taking on a role and acting as these people.

MNL Caroline Smith and the Good Night Sleeps Spotlight

Conrad Magalis STAFF WRITER

Caroline Smith and the Good Night Sleeps along with Adam Hammer and Friends were featured during the home-grown, end-of-the-season Monday Night Live performance.

Caroline Smith and the Good Night Sleeps’ dreamy sounds were shared with the audience at the Pioneer Place.

The Good Night Sleeps’ sound isn’t the only thing that charmed the audience.

Smith’s comedic shtick brought laughs amongst somber melodies and dreamy repasts.

“This song is about loves lost. I was young and I thought I was in love, but we all know how that works out,” said Smith before her song “Strong Shoulders”.

The combination of her loveable, small-town charm meets tough, punk city kid attitude gives her a unique character.

Unlike many artists – who struggle to entertain and captivate between songs – Smith’s stand-upcomedic and public speaking skills keep the audience fully engaged the whole way through.

Even the interview was a fan-fair, with many laughs and a lighthearted aura.

It isn’t just Smith who knows how to get big laughs.

During the interview, keyboardist David Earl stormed off stage and slammed a set door behind him after getting his name skipped in the introduction. Smith doubled over laughing with the audience following suit.

“Working with Chad ?Q[M WV Ua ÅZ[\ ITJ]U _I[ amazing. Chad is currently working with Mason Jennings and Death Cab For Cutie, two of my favorite bands. I wish I was on tour with them!” said Smith IJW]\ PMZ ÅZ[\ ITJ]U Caroline Smith got

her start at the age of 18.

Shortly after moving from her hometown of Detroit Lakes, Minn., Smith took up residence at the 400 Bar in Minneapolis.

While working at the 400 Bar, Smith met drummer Arlen Peiffer (of Cloud Cult), along with Bassist Jesse Schuster and keyboardist Earl.

Caroline Smith and the Good Night Sleeps debut album, “Backyard Tent Set”, was recorded with Chad Weis of the Devil’s Workshop. The album went on to be a big success, gaining air time on KVSC, The Current and many other Midwest radio stations.

From there the quintet has been carving out a slice of the pie, growing in popularity after every event.

After Caroline Smith and the Good Night Sleeps left Pioneer Place to make an appearance at the Electric Fetus, Adam Hammer and Friends began doing sound checks and prepping \PM ÅVIT \W]KPM[ NWZ \PMQZ performance.

“We don’t need any special treatment! We’ve been around town enough, so they (audience) don’t need to hear our stories again,” said Hammer.

Hammer – a Henning Minn. native – has been making music since he was 12 years old, beginning his professional music career while living in Nashville in his twenties.

“I was just here (Pioneer Place) for my new CD release two weeks ago,” said Hammer.

“Broken Like You” – Hammer’s new album – provided a wealth of material for his MNL performance.

The songs “Let it Burn”, “The Drive” and “Ballad of Lucy” (from Broken Like You) were featured during Adam Hammer and Friends set.

Adam Hammer and Friends’ sound is an eclectic mix of bluegrass, rock and

blues. Their sound can be likened to Elliott Smith, Leonard Cohen and earlyera Black Keys.

The stage set at the Pioneer also added to Adam Hammer’s performance.

The stage was composed as an early 1900’s stately manner home, which made

the show feel intimate and reminiscent of the sound.

Dave Cofell, one of Hammer’s long-time collaborators makes up part of Adam Hammer and Friends. Cofell – a Collegeville Minn. native – also performs solo while off stage with Adam Hammer.

Cofell also released a new album “No Substitute (For You)”.

A TASTE OF ST. CLOUD: Mark Schrom RESTAURANT REVIEW

Pete’s Place is located at 413 9th Ave. N. St. Cloud. This great family-style restaurant serves the best breakfast St. Cloud has to offer.

In business for 13 years, Pete’s Place is located in a small, cozy building, and it makes you feel like you’re stepping into your own home. It is open seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Pete’s Place uses fresh, storebought ingredients to make delicious breakfast items such as omelets with your choice of bacon, ham, sausage, or hamburger; French toast; eggs; hash browns or their most popular item: specialty pancakes.

Chances are you will be greeted by Tammy Ommundson, a longtime employee at Pete’s Place.

“I love it here, I love the people, I love the atmosphere. I love my job,” said Ommundson.

When I enter, Ommundson greets me and chats with me for a few minutes before taking my order. I order a two-egg bacon and cheese omelet that comes with hash browns, toast, a chocolate chip pancake, and an orange juice.

While you watch either Pete or Tammy cook your breakfast in front of you, you can pass the time with a game of cribbage.

“A game of cribbage takes as long as the food does. The usual customers come in every morning at 6 a.m. for a game with me,” said Holt.

“Plus, it keeps the mind sharp.”

My girlfriend and I play a game of cribbage while the food arrives and, as Holt predicted, our food was ready by the time our cribbage game wrapped up.

The food is tremendous; if you’re a student who misses a quality homemade breakfast, this is the place to come. Fresh eggs, thicklysliced bacon, delicious hash browns and a massive chocolate chip pancake that is the width of the plate it comes on.

Rusko’s ‘Songs’ a hiccup Joe Edmonds ALBUM REVIEW

A few years ago, Rusko was considered dubstep.

In may ways, people considered him the prominent dubstep artist for the new genre that was sweeping across the globe at an exponential rate.

The same can not be said now, with the new album “Songs” expanding into multiple electronic genres such as house, drum & bass and several others.

One of the songs that displays this on the new album is “Somebody To Love”.

The song begins with a catchy melody, reminiscent of old Chicago house music. This intro sets a good mood for the rest of the song, which forays into the classic dubstep “wub” that artists like Rusko have become famous for. Though it grasps the feel of contempoZIZa L]J[\MX \PM QVÆ]MVKM[ WN the house club scene remain prominent.

Since Rusko’s 2010 album “O.M.G.!”, he has received KWV[QLMZIJTM ÆIKS NZWU W\PMZ dubstep artists for created what has become known as “brostep”. This is considered a

watered-down, pop variant of the genre, where dubstep originally had its roots in darker corners.

Aside from American producer Skrillex, he has taken most of the heat for this.

“Brostep is my fault, but now I’ve started to hate it, in a way,” Rusko said in an interview with BBC radio. “I kind of took it there, and now everybody else is taking it too far.”

He said “Songs” was meant be a reaction against brostep, and the current state of dubstep.

No track on the album better highlights this than “Opium”.

The intro to the song starts off with a club sound, though the rug is quickly pulled on this sound. The song begins to skip delightedly around weird once the beat drops, with a healthy mix drum and bass and synthesized squeaks.

Also incorporating a few odd audio samples (croaking frogs and screaming monkeys), this [WVO _I[ LMÅVQ\MTa VW\ UMIV\ for the average club-goer to rave to.

Keeping his distance from the “brostep” pigeonhole, Rusko decided to step, and

keep stepping, away from his work in “O.M.G.!”

While the former album featured many more tracks that were instrumentals, “Songs” has none and focuses on lyrics and vocals much more than the beat itself. In some ways this has hindered the album and shows a step away from dubstep, rather than a reprisal of it.

Songs like “Thunder” demonstrate this well. It lacks many things that have become staples of the genre. Instead of a low “wub,” it features the old club bounce. It has the big sound, the powerful vocals and everything a good pop song should have. Rusko, though, is not pop. His work does not suggest popularity.

Rusko is an important artist for modern electronic music. He, along with a few other UK dubstep artists, have changed the way that many producers arrange their music.

This album is a hiccup, though. He got too caught up in what the media was saying about his music, and the negative moniker of brostep.

“O.M.G.!” was widely praised, “Songs” will not be because Rusko forced himself to go pop.

Not too long ago, Nickelodeon managed to produce a cartoon that, in three memorable seasons told a story of a century-long war, and the kids who ended it.

It was so popular it got a live-action movie that was so bad I was pretty sure we weren’t going to be hearing anything about that series ever again. I was wrong.

If you haven’t guessed which cartoon I’m talking about, the answer is “Avatar: the Last Airbender”.

For those of you who still don’t know what I’m talking about, Avatar was the story of a world where each of the traditional elements ÅZM IQZ _I\MZ MIZ\P KW]TL JM UIVQX]TI\ML Ja different types of martial arts called “bending.”

Each of the four nations could manipulate the element their country was named after. The only exception to this rule was the Avatar, who could bend all four elements. The series concluded when the main characters beat the bad guy, and ended 100 years of imperialistic war.

“The Legend of Korra”, which premiered April 14, is actually a continuation of “Avatar”, but if you happened upon the self-sustaining fanbase and advertisement that is “The Korra 6I\QWVº aW] UQOP\ PI^M SVW_V \PI\ \PM ÅZ[\ two episodes have been available for free download on iTunes since March 25.

Set 70 years in the future, the colonies created by the war are now under the title Republic City and a new Avatar is ready to make her way in the world. Korra is introduced as a tubby-tummied toddler who brazenly bends three of the four elements to prove that yes, she is the Avatar and “you just gotta deal with it.”

0MZ KWVÅLMVKM PI[V¼\ TMN\ PMZ _PMV _M next see her at 16, where she proves that she has mastered three of the four elements, and is ready to learn from Tenzin, who is the son of the last Avatar and Katara, one of Korra’s teachers.

Tenzin and his family pay a visit to the protected compound where Korra lives, but are

unable to stay and teach Korra due to unrest in :MX]JTQK +Q\a _PMZM PM Q[ IV QVÆ]MV\QIT ÅO]ZM When he goes, so does Korra’s chance of getting out of the compound in any kind of timely manner.

Tired of being locked up for her own protection while she is still in training, Korra decides to run away. Encouraged by Katara, Korra smuggles herself into the bustling metropolis of Republic City, which looks like San Francisco with a dash of East Asian architecture.

After arranging for Korra to be let out of jail, Tenzin almost sends her back to the compound, but relents just in time for a group hug with Korra and his children at the end of the episode.

The world of Korra is full of detail from the story to the background art to the music, and it shows. From big things like blimps, down to little things like how bending is used in industry. And being able to see how the world has changed since the last time fans of the old show saw it is very nice.

“Korra” has a promising start to it; however, there are some things that make me wary. The original writers in “The Last Airbender” have continued their work, and this does seem to be a good thing, for the most part.

0W_M^MZ XIZ\ WN \PM ÅZ[\ [MZQM[¼ JMI]\a was its ability to take its time to tell the stories it needed to tell. “Korra”’s 26 episodes indicate that the storyline will have to be condensed, and \PQ[ UQOP\ JM I NI\IT ÆI_ \W \PM [PW_ M[XMKQITTa since the writers have indicated that this series will have “cheesy teen romance.”

As long as the writers don’t let themselves indulge in their precious “cheesy teen romance,” I am optimistic for this show. Three episodes in, the writers are wobbling between tasteful and cheesy between the action and world-building scenes.

For those of you who are more tolerant of romance than me (which is probably most of you) and even if you are as bored of kissy faces as I am, I suggest checking out “Legend of Korra” for a quality show this summer.

in SCSU

Underwood wins NSIC Coach of the Year Underwood named NSIC Coach of the Year, Molly Willms, Nov. 20 Scott Underwood and 21 of his players were honored by the NSIC last week in the announcement of coach of the year and all-conference teams.

“There was a lot of parity in the league, so certainly it was our staff,” Underwood said of his coach of the year award. “It’s not an individual coach award, it’s what our staff and our kids have done. It’s nice to be recognized.”

SCSU swimming, diving breaks 4 school records Swimming breaks 4 school records, Staff report, Dec. 4 Four SCSU swimming records were broken over the weekend when the men and women’s swim team traveled to the University of Minnesota Aquatics Center for the University of Wisconsin-River Falls Invitational.

The Huskies were able to win 15 out of the 34 events over the course of the two-day competition.

Alex Bryson, Bob Simson, Napoleon Howell, and the men’s medley relay team set new records for SCSU. Bryson, a freshman from Appleton, Wisc., won the men’s 1650 with a new record time of 15:39.95.

Simson, a sophomore from St. Cloud, shattered the old school record for the 100 backstroke with a time of :50.82.

The men’s medley team set the new record for the 200 at 1:31.19.

Howell, a sophomore from St. Augustine, Trinidad, broke the 200 backstroke record by three [MKWVL[ 0W_MTT¼[ ÅVIT \QUM _I[ " !

In the Huskies opener they were able to get the victory over Lewis University 9-5 on a game where the Huskies swung the bat well, having a total of 11 hits.

“We came out and swung the bats really well,” said Graduate Assistant Coach Will Harps. “We saw a lot of great things from our pitchers.”

LeBlanc’s season-ender Hockey wins, ties against Badgers, Brian Gardner, Nov. 6 The most memorable part of the second period, though, was LeBlanc’s injury. His left leg broke and he was carried off the ice on a stretcher about 30 seconds before the end of the second period.

LeBlanc, who went to Hermantown High School in Northern Minnesota, has scored 97 points for SCSU in his career. It’s hoped he’ll be back in playing condition before the end of the season.

Lacrosse Continued from Page 24 “We need to get a few more wins and some recognition. It would be nice to get more recognition from the kids at school, get some recognition say that hey this here and we’re here to stay,” said VanEyll.

The Huskies have had many players step up throughout the season.

Sophomore Goaltender CJ Payne is proving to be a great last line of defense leading the conference in saves per game.

“CJ is, in my opinion, the best goaltender in the conferences. He sees so many shots. When we have CJ in the net we can beat anybody,” said head coach Chaun Klemetsrud.

“He [Payne] was a freshman starter last year and was new to the college game and he has just took his game to another level,” said VanEyll.

Unfortunately, the Huskies were not able to carry this momentum into conference play. The Huskies lost their Upper Midwest Lacrosse League conference opener to the University of Minnesota Duluth by a score of 15-3.

The Huskies followed with a narrow 16-15 loss to Iowa State University.

The Huskies, improving each game, were able

to pick up a key victory in their last game of the season on April 15 against the University of Nebraska to put their regular season record at 1-5. Klemetsrud has been very impressed with his young players and how they have developed this season.

“The young guys, especially the sophomores, have really stepped up.

They have matured really quickly,” said Klemetsrud.

“I am extremely excited to get Christian back. I can’t tell you how much I love Christian because he went down in practice in early winter. Losing him like that was pretty tough but the young guys stepped up but getting Christian back is great because it’s the perfect time being the playoffs,” said Klemetsrud.

Klemestrud is a 2008 graduate of SCSU and a product of the Husky lacrosse program. He played the LSM and defense positions. His passion and dedication to the Husky program is what makes him a great young coach for the team “Honestly, I love it up here. I live in the Cities so it’s an hour commute.

I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t love it,” he said.

The Huskies are eager

to improve their program and try to grow into a stronger team. Klemetsrud knows what it will take to upgrade his team; more numbers and local support.

“We need to recruit heavier and work harder.

Right now, we are competing in recruiting with the U of M and Duluth, as well as St. John’s and St. Thomas.

We are getting a little bit more exposure. Wins will help but honestly we have to get our name out there.

Being up here in Central Minnesota guys don’t always know we have a program even though we’ve been around 20 years. Last year we had 17 players, this year we have 24, and next year I’m hoping to have close to 30,” he said.

As the Huskies begin the playoffs, they know that they have the skill, determination, and passion to take down any one.

The program is growing stronger and with an intelligent and passionate young coach and good young core for next year, the Husky lacrosse program is looking positive. Now, they just new more recognition to attract recruits and fans.

A playoff win against Marquette or the University of Minnesota could do just that.

The Lacrosse team goes relatively unknown at SCSU and has a hard time getting funds; with a strong playoff run that could all change.

Calvary course, parks could stand a clean-up Zack Dubay Nick Hendrickson TEAM STORY

Calvary may need to clean up its act.

“Disc golf is exploding,” Ken Wiggins, owner of Midtown Coffee and Disc Golf Shop in St. Cloud, said.

Calvary Park is being utilized by many people on a daily basis and the park is not being maintained to its highest potential. When visiting the park, the sight of trash lying only a few feet away from garbage cans is a common occurrence.

“They are quite good considering how much they get played, but things can always be cleaner,” Wiggins said regarding the local disc golf parks.

Zach Gilbert has been an employee for the St. Cloud Parks and Recreation Department for over 11 years. “Tim Mackey maintains Calvary Park and about six seasonal employees clean up and mow the park once every week and a half, but the crews are not responsible for picking up the garbage,” Gilbert said.

On the other hand, Riverside Park, home to another disc golf course in town, is being maintained

All 18 holes at Calvary Hill Park remind people to take their trash with them.

differently. “Riverside Park has its own employee that maintains the bathrooms and takes care of the trash cans on a daily basis,” Gilbert said. “The park also has its own mowing crewing because of Munsinger Garden just up the hill.”

Riverside has much more to offer as a park; such as a splash pad, tennis courts, a large playground, multiple places to grill, walking trails along the 5Q[[Q[[QXXQ ÆW_MZ[ JMVKPM[ by the river, and a warming house that can be rented for large gatherings.There are also multiple wishing wells and a peacock enclosure.

Calvary has a disc golf course, basketball court, and a small playground, but Calvary is open year around and Riverside is only a seasonal course.

Gilbert iterated that the Riverside course does not get setup until after school so the grass can get a chance to set. Even though Riverside has more to offer, the seasonal status of its disc golf course continues to divert additional players to Calvary.

At Calvary there are signs at every tee box saying, “Please bring your trash home with you.”

Disc golfer and St.

Cloud Parks Department employee Jordan Proell brought up, “The city just put in a brand new parking lot, a long with some new trees and storm gardens at Calvary.” Proell hopes people will notice the city is trying to improve the course and believes this will QVÆ]MVKM XMWXTM \W XQKS ]X after themselves, but he also feels the storm gardens may become a magnet for trash.

Wiggins does his part by offering garbage bags to players so they can pick up trash while they play.

in a few weeks he’ll have the boot off and his arm will be in somewhat good shape.”

“For me, I don’t really focus on that a whole lot,” Kubitz said. “I just let my pitching do the talking,” as he has since before he came to SCSU and before the Northwoods League noticed him.
