“Stalking versus harassment corresponds to how the vic-tim feels,” explained Zabrocki. “Stalking means being fearful, but harassment typically just is annoy-ance.”

slogans such as “hell no, we won’t go, we want Mah-moud back” during the groundbreaking of SCSU’s largest construction project, the Integrated Science and Engineering Facility, or “ISELF.”
The protesters expressed their concerns about the termination of Mahmoud Saffari. They were vocal before the ceremony, but quieted down during the speeches. President Potter was interrupted, how-ever, a few times during his speeches.
Governor Dayton, Representative Dan Petersen, Senator Terryl Clark and other politicians attended the groundbreaking. President Potter opened the ceremony with a speech and then handed the stage over to Gov. Dayton.
SGA President Samantha Ivey ended the cer-emony by checking the groundbreaking off of a list of things to do before ISELF could be completed.
Dayton took the stage after the ceremony and addressed the protesters. He told them that he had heard their concerns and would meet them after the ceremony.
Dayton listened to the protesters concerns with the termination of Mahmoud and offered his help as
a Governor, saying “I appreciate you being respect-

As for the building itself, the facility has been in the works for six years. The building is also the largest construction project for SCSU, totaling at $45 million.
Potter spoke on the legislative support for the ISELF facility. “There are different governors. Gov. Pawlenty vetoed the ISELF facility last year. The building was approved in a list of capital projects in a regular bonding session. The Governor and

A nine-day event gives the com-munity an opportunity to show their support for a media outlet that has been providing content for the St. Cloud area for over 44 years.
KVSC (88.1 FM), the on-campus radio station run by staff and students at SCSU, holds two pledge drives each year; one during the fall semester, and one during the spring semester. The fall 2011 pledge drive, which ran from Oct. 22-30, focused on “saving the watts and protecting KVSC’s airwaves from the corporatization happening at other radio stations across America.”
The station’s website explains that simply tuning in helps KVSC con-tinue to provide local content to its listeners.
For each pledge drive, KVSC sets

As a member of KVSC, listeners receive a variety of perks including a
for discounts from dozens of busi-nesses throughout the community. They also receive a member newslet-ter, updating them on the happenings of the station.
To attract new members, KVSC communicates with local businesses to

“We’re trying to get the commu-nity involved with KVSC as much as possible,” said KVSC assistant news director Aaron Kieffer, who went on to explain how the drives highlight that effort. “It’s kind of a way for
KVSC to explain how we’re involved with the community and how the community is involved with KVSC.”
A donation is all that it takes to become a member. Listeners are asked to pledge a dollar amount during the drives, but are able to actually pay at a later date. According to KVSC vol-unteer host Chuck Wiser and arts and cultural heritage producer Jeff Car-mack, many people actually specify what they would like their money to go towards. Some even offer to match a certain dollar amount raised.
Depending on the size of the do-nation, “pledge perks,” or prizes, are given as a way of thanking contribut-ing listeners. These perks range from different products to KVSC apparel.
KVSC pledge drives typically generate a lot of involvement from the community. “We get a lot more calls;

the legislature disagreed on how big that bonding bill should be. They forwarded a bonding bill that he thought was too large and this was one of the projects that he vetoed. The list of things considered this time was much smaller. The legislature on both sides of the isle thought that this project was important for the state and the new Governor agreed with them.”
The ISELF project also had the support of local businesses, including Microbiologics, Medtronic and Boston
Potter said that the University’s original design for the building was $20 million but couldn’t help SCSU’s future as much as the new facility could, add-ing “Our faculty and students engage the businesses in solving some of the problems that businesses have. Microbi-ologics has a lot of test work to do that they format to our labs. It’s opportuni-ties for our students to learn how to do this work under the guidance of faculty. It strengthens the learning opportuni-ties for our students, but also produces useful results for microbiologics.”
Dayton’s meeting with the protest-ers was well received. The protesters cheered his promise to speak with Rosenstone and took photos with him after the ceremony.
Semya Hakim, a professor at SCSU and coordinator of the faculty and staff of color, said that the protesters were concerned about what they believed were growing racial hostility, adding “I think people need to know that this is a genuine concern and we’re concerned with our hostile environment. We don’t

only voting in single-digit percentages. Although the numbers have remained low for the Texas congressman, they have remained steady since August. Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann, repre-sentative of the St. Cloud con-gressional precinct, has seen a decline in recent polls.
Though his numbers may be low on a national level, lo-cally Paul has done well in the past. For the 2008 presidential election, Paul placed second behind Mitt Romney, manag-ing 28 percent of Senate Dis-trict 15’s vote which includes all of St. Cloud and Waite Park. In Minnesota, however, Paul placed fourth overall with only 16 percent of the vote.
Paul has also showed a strong force in Iowa with an average of 11 percent of the vote on polls according to www.realclearpolitics.com.
Bachmann’s campaign team has not let on any sign of fear of Paul’s new interest in Minnesota. Recent polls have also not effected the congress-woman’s campaign trail, which show a steady decline in her numbers and a steady rise in his. Alice Stewart, Bachmann’s presidential campaign spokes-woman, has stated that they “welcome Congressman Paul to Minnesota.”
“He will be met with some of the nicest people Minnesota has to offer,” added Stewart.
With the 2012 Presidential Election coming up in the next year many other candidates will be campaigning in similar ways.
Paul’s presidential rally will be held at 10:30 a.m., with doors opening at 10 a.m. for the general public. General admittance will be free and all are encouraged to join in on the rally.

“mouthpiece” for the govern-ment. The national literacy rate also has an effect on the spread of the media. For ex-ample, radio is a larger outlet in Nepal because the literacy rate in the country is only a mere 45 percent.
But the main focus of the discussion was on advertis-ing; each group had examples of advertisements from each country.
Advertisements in these countries are also different from the United States. In China and Taiwan, the length of the ads are considerably longer than U.S. advertise-ments.
In Japan, the focus of the advertisements is moreso on the entertainment value of the commercial rather than on actual promotion of the product. Japan’s advertising market is second only to the United States. Japan places more emphasis on print jour-nalism than other countries. The average Japanese citizen spends a half hour a day read-ing the newspaper which until recently was considered the

During the question-and-answer portion of the roundtable, it was asked of the international graduate students to compare the international media from their countries with American media.

“Winter could be becoming worse in the future according to the climatological data. And that means more snow,” Robert Hensen from University Corpora-tion for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) spoke at the Sixth Annual Northern Plains Winter Storm Conference held on Mon-day, Oct. 24.
The conference was held over two days, beginning from Oct. 24-25 at the Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites in St. Cloud, Minnesota.
This annual event started in 2006 sponsored by SCSU Earth and Atmospheric Sciences(EAS) Department, and has become a leading contributor to winter weather discussion in the North-ern Plains region. “The goal is to provide a regional conference for both students and professional meteorologists to gather around and talk about the researches. It is good for students to see, good for meteorologists to meet, and good for the science of Meteorology,” said Rodney Kubesh, professor of EAS, who came up with the idea
place.This year’s conference focused
on aspects of winter weather in the Northern Plains and Cana-dian Prairies. Topics included synoptic features, mesoscale struc-tures, wind effects, cold season microphysics, and radar.
The day began with a wel-coming speech from Dr. Kubesh, followed by several speakers from the SCSU EAS Department including Dr. Robert Weisman, and guest speakers from many
organizations such as the National Weather Services(NWS). Among those who joined, the keynote speaker, Hensen delivered the pre-sentation on the future of winter weather on the northern plains. He mainly emphasized on climate change, also explaining how a long term shift is possible causing and increasing winter weather in the northern regions. In addition, this shift could result in increases in lake effect snow and the winter weather gradient, which could lead to less snow to the South and more snow to the North.
“It looks like the contrast from north to south is getting stronger towards Iowa, Nebraska; they’re getting less snow while as up here we’re sometimes getting worse snow especially in autumn. Cli-mate models say that as we go fur-
there may be more snow still, so that trends will continue and there may be more snow in the middle of winter,” Hensen said.
Dr. Robert Weisman from our SCSU EAS Department gave an informational yet interesting presentation as well. His research involved consecutive days of snow cover’s relationship to the average temperature. He remarked that the data was inconclusive and showed there was no correlation between the two because there are so many variables involved so it is hard to say there is some kind of relationship between the two. Apart from professional commu-nity of meteorologists, there were also senior level students from the meteorology program represented researches.
“In terms of helpful and use-ful, I would say it is. Aside from seeing theories in practice, it can also go a long way towards giving student’s ideas, or even help-
ful information, for their senior research projects,” commented Barry Windschitl, a senior student at SCSU meteorology program.
“I think the conference was pretty valuable for students in meteorology major. But since it was aimed towards a professional audience, there were some dif-
material. Overall I found the experience to be quite enriching,”

successful in many aspects; there were more attendees from wider areas than the previous year. This conference is becoming one of the
fast growing winter related events in the region. It was surprisingly
quality information and atmo-sphere.
“This conference is a way for St. Cloud State to become visible, so other meteorologists around the country would know about St. Cloud State. I hope it will con-tinue several years and it is going well. I’d like to get it bigger and would like more meteorologists from television, also few more people from public that are in-terested, and of course few more professors to come from other places,” Dr. Kubesh closed.
and cyber crimes as anonymous messaging, texting and identity theft as sites such as Pinger and Facebook allow any individual to create
name and information.Johnson took the opportunity to explain
to her audience the main reasons why stalkers follow or pursue their victims which included “attention seeking, looking to commit a crime and sexual satisfaction.”
“Many victims take a lot of time for report-ing,” Johnson stated, “[The victims] need to know that this is real and need to be validated.”
In a national survey, 13 percent of college women responded that they had been stalked with an astounding 80.3 percent of them know-ing who their stalker was.
“It’s important to sever all contact with that individual while using plain, assertive lan-guage,” Johnson explained. “Do not argue or negotiate with them or allow others outside of law enforcement or an advocate to intervene. The First Amendment protects them until you say ‘stop.’ You should consider a protective order and begin a stalking incident log in order to better document the offenses.”
Johnson also mentioned how Anna Marie’s would be a viable source for women looking to create a protective order against an abuser or stalker as it is a “huge umbrella” that must
be certain to include many different variables. Advocates at Anna Marie’s are well versed in the process and creation of these orders.
Advocates can be found at SCSU Women’s Center and are able to help assist and mentor individuals with reporting and documenting incidences. Often times when an individual is
and locations can be traced back. The technol-ogy policy which all students must adhere to and the Student Code of Conduct helps to legally hold a person responsible for harass-ment, improper use of campus technology or threatening behavior.
Stalking logs help to document offenses by allowing the victim to record the date, incident, location and other vital information about the occurrence. These logs can be found on www.ncvc.org.
When asked what was most important for the friends of victims to do in the event that someone they know is being stalked or harassed is to “believe them.”

new world of technology, criminal charges are sometimes impossible to obtain. Identity theft and false impersonation must show a loss of money or false marriage even in the event that someone has created a false account using an-other person’s name in order to press charges. Stalking must show intent and defamation is typically covered under “freedom of speech.”
With more and more individuals looking to the internet for answers, online dating for many is becoming a reality.
“Tell your friends any information you know about the person you are meeting, where you are going, and what time you expect to be home in the ‘getting-to-know-you phase,’”
Unfortunately, another reality of today’s society is that “people think stalking is funny” as t-shirts and songs “mock” the survivors of domestic abuse and stalking.
“Fifty percent of women in Minnesota were stalked before they were murdered… it’s not being taken seriously enough in order society,” Johnson explained to the crowd.

more than any other given week,” said Kieffer. While the numbers for this fall’s drive are not yet available, statistics from previous years show that KVSC listeners have provided great deal of support for the radio station.
The fall 2010 pledge drive helped acquire a total of 209 new members, and of the $14,257 that was pledged, $12,825 (or 89.9 percent) was paid. Things only got better in the spring of 2011 when 253 new members joined KVSC, and $15,627 out of $18,771 in pledges (or 86.4 percent) was paid.
While the donations made by listeners greatly contribute to the all-around success of KVSC, it is not the sole purpose of the drive. “It’s a way for people to connect and feel like they’re part of it, and they really are,” said Wiser. “For the reasons people pledge, those are the reasons we’re here.”
Listeners can make their own contribution to KVSC by calling
a form online, or by mail. More information about pledging can be found at www.kvsc.org.
explained by LaNave was to “help students not just become aware, but give them an oppor-tunity to explore perspectives by creating conditions for meaningful participation.”
After Kielburger had spoken to the students they had the opportunity to attend workshops and activity sessions in order to help raise awareness and begin to support their causes. Activity stations included button making machines, pledge posters, and an area where event planners would assist students in contacting their local politicians.
Many students have been long involved in helping to raise aware-ness and create action within their own communities. Sartell High School senior, Tyler Broadwell, is a member of student council and recently shaved his head along with Lydia Dullinger to help raise money and awareness for St. Bal-drick’s Foundation.
After listening to the keynote speaker, Broadwell stated, “I’m in love with him (Craig Kielburg-er)… he’s been my idol since 6th grade.”
Katelyn Bossert and Casey Hayden, students at Cathedral High School, have been attending the conference for many years.
“I’m amazed he [Kielburger] hasn’t received the Nobel Peace Prize,” said Hayden, “he is amaz-ing and there is so much we can
and getting over the obstacle of apathy.”
Among the groups present, Casa Guadalupe Multicultural Communities encouraged Hispan-ic students from the surrounding area to attend. Executive director, Mayuli Bales, and Rocori teacher, Maria Thompson, explained that Casa Guadalupe “believed in the Latino potential” and “creating leadership within the Latin com-munity.”
The Center for Service-Learn-ing and Social Change’s mission states that, “We believe in the importance of intentionally devel-oping community among youth and adults concerned about social justice, by helping them connect with others who share their con-cerns and resources that support their ability to learn about and respond to their concerns.”
After the activity sessions had broken out, Kevin LaNave had the opportunity to speak to several of the students who were partici-pating that day.
“They were so intent on meaningful ideas… This year there was a great sense of direc-tion as nearly all of groups had a
elevated and awakened… This didn’t seem like just a ‘sugar high’, but something with substance,” LaNave explained.

Occupy Minn. movement: Month long, ongoing
Next week will mark the one-month anniversary of the Occupy Minnesota protest on the Hennepin Government Plaza in downtown Minneapolis.
Occupy Minnesota has seen participants of all ages, races and genders, with each person having his or her own reason for being there.
Reasons why people are protesting include: corporate greed, student loan debt, lack of jobs, unfavorable eco-nomic state, mistreatment of veterans returning from the war in the Middle East, and the growing gap between the one percent richest Americans versus the 99 percent of the middle class who are struggling.
The Occupy Minnesota demonstration is modeled after the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City, which have been going on since mid September.
Similar protests have started in major cities all over the world.
The overall goal of the protests is to see an evening out of wealth between the one percent and the 99 percent.
Occupy Minnesota grew in numbers on Saturday when union leaders joined the demonstrations and march against the banks in downtown Minneapolis.
Participants of the march were shadowed by the police and were met with supportive honks from cars driving by.
Different chapters of the Iraq Veterans Against the War who are suffering from high unemployment and homeless-ness are also joining the Occupy demonstrations in grow-ing numbers.
Most of the demonstrations in the country so far have been peaceful. However, as winter slowly approaches there is a growing tension between protesters who want to set up shelters, and police who are there to enforce policies and keep public areas clean.
The dangers of the cold weather are already affecting protesters; two people were hospitalized with hypothermia after staying out in a snowstorm in Denver last week.
Struggles have been seen in Minneapolis with tents be--
pies for protestors but no personal tents are allowed and will be taken down if set up.
An Occupy protest in Oakland turned violent when police tried to evict protesters from a city plaza.
As temperatures drop all over the country, donations of coats, blankets, scarves, etc. are being gathered. Some movements are looking to possibly move indoors in vacant buildings and unused properties.
Some Occupy demonstrations are forming special committees to generate ideas and money to buy better and warmer tents and sleeping bags.
People all over the country are camping outside and will continue to do so as long as it takes to see change in the economic inequality, despite the changing weather.

While watching television as a child, my favorite thing to do was shout something along the lines of “please, can I have that for Christmas, Santa?” when I saw a toy that I enjoyed. These days, I can’t imagine my young self say-ing those words nearly as often.
Toys have gone from simple, fun, and reasonably priced to electronic, complicated, and expensive. Looking through toy stores and catalogs, the amount of computer-like toys is growing, nearly to the point of drown-ing out others. Toys such as the electronic Innotab are beginning to overpower classic toys such as Barbie and G.I. Joe.
I look through toy store catalogues and see toys with names like Kachooz Kachatz and wonder, what is the inspiration for these interactive balls of fur with faces? What ever happened to
-Donald’s? What ever happened to toys that forced you to use your imagination to make them come to life? Where are all the toys with simple, self-explanatory names,
you would know what to do with a Zooble as a child?
I believe that one reason that more expensive, intricate toys are being made is that children these days are pickier than they used
to be. As a child, if you gave me a hairbrush and a sticky note, within seconds I would have a super hero trapped on a desert island. Give a child the same two things today, and I have a feeling a request for an electronic toy would occur soon after.
Next time you see a commer-cial for a large, electronic toy with a strange name, take the time to ask yourself, “Do I want that for Christmas, Santa?”

Hello Readers,As many of you know, there is
a question that runs deep at the heart of all people: “Is this the right thing to do?” The answers we come up with are not always well thought out and sometimes we fall prey to classic fallacies. The reason, oh readers, is simple. Emotion can be the glue that sticks or the knife that slits any decision.
This is what I would like to assist with in the near future. I can be a careful observer of informa-tion you wish to provide, and give advice on matters of the heart, the head or even the pocketbook.
I am currently working on a management degree from SCSU and thought I would pop in to the nearby networks and see what help I could be. As in all my travels, SCSU proves to be a
and take, where many people are
just starting the transition into adulthood.
For those of you in this state of being, I would like to be the
ups and downs, twists and turns, and amazing discovery.
Now, none of my advice can “predict” action without neces-sary information, and absolutely none of my advice should be the sole reason to do something. Not even Dear Abby gets it right all the time.
-dant, the impartial judge or the nonsensical old man on the cor-ner; the choice is yours! I welcome the opportunity to take on all manner of questions and become a helping hand to those in need.
Here, at SCSU or any college, you can start to become the per-son you were meant to be. If you embrace it, take hold of it and shape it, you can become more than you are, and that is why I am doing this.

Having children: solace or burden?
Recently, my circle of friends has an interesting topic: Should married couples today have kids?
“I hate kids, they are annoying,” one said.
“I am OK with a kid, but not kids,” another said.
I acknowledge that many instances have proved life today to be tougher to live (or I should say, survive) as compared to those of our parents’ or grandparents’ times: economic downturn, a more competitive market, greater thirst for prestige lifestyle, the list goes on.
The advancement of technologies,
tools and devices, communication technolo--
tion, globalization and such, has put our daily routine on a whole different pace in contrast with the 1950s.
While the standard of living is rising, the quality of life may not be necessarily so.
to strive for better values in their everyday activities – better education system, food
quality and drugs control, more inclusive healthcare, and more systematic transpor-tations, just to point out a few.
With this global economy comes the concerns of many younger couples today regarding family planning and develop-ment.
First, let’s be real and get the facts straight: how much does it really “cost” to have a kid? (Note that I am only talking about ‘cost’ here, not the ‘value-added’ option.)
So, as a Google-worshipper, I shame-lessly punched in “How much does it cost to raise a child” into the search engine.
According to BabyCenter (a parenting website providing information on concep-tion, pregnancy, childcare, and parents-
should ask themselves when calculating the possible expenditures are: Where do you live, whether it is a city, suburb or rural area; are you a single parent; what’s your annual household income; how old is your child; and will you be paying for your child’s education.
Assume that I am living in a suburb
newborn, with an annual combined income of less than $57,000, and that we plan to pay for our child’s education. It turns out that we will have to spend at least $8,650 this year, up to a total “cost” of $240,050 to raise my child from birth until age 18, with $78,380 planned to spend on a 4-year public college (statistics are drawn from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s 2010 Annual Report and compilations by The College Board).
That means if I make $24,000 of salary this year, a third of my income are to be
-cial burden is shared with my partner.
With that point considered, let’s ad-dress the second concern: What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a child? While that could be many subjective responses, I arrive at the following sum-maries.
The Eastern cultural perspective sup-ports that by having and raising a kid, you are assuming your responsibility as a member of the society who procreate the next generation. Hence, many would see this as the plus point of having one kid or
community, which then brings you recogni-tion and self-actualization.
Also, if you have a partner who shares the same passion of forming a healthy fam-ily, you are likely to raise an obedient child, who then adds to the enjoyment of your life (especially once you become older).
On the other hand, there are some who believe that having a kid is basi-cally adding an unnecessary burden to the family. The couple could have spent their monthly earnings on brands and materials that would better serve them than another ever-hungry soul in the house. For instance, saving that eight thousand plus dollars per year could allow you to travel to a different country each year.
The most common comment that I have come across among people who decide not to have kids is that they have
a child, and they do not want to repeat the same “mistake” their parents have made.
Come to think about it, isn’t that silly?I mean, by saying that, aren’t you
agreeing that you were the “mistake” that
your parents have made? As a “mistake,” don’t you sense the obligation to correct the wrong?

that my dad is being logical. We are living in a space that constantly reproduces itself. One element continuously regenerates another element, such as the photosynthe-sis process that takes places in plants, our respiratory process, the meiosis and mitosis of cells occurring in our body, and the birth and death of a human being.
When everyone begins to think only about themselves, our society will soon die. You learn that in your fundamental science classes – it is a chain effect.
Therefore, because my parents gave their lives for me, I am obligated to unself-ishly spend part of my life building the next generation, and in the end, we all share the

President Ronald Reagan said, “I’ve no-ticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born.” While this isn’t a pro-life advocacy, it sure has some connections to family planning. Instead of spending time complaining how ineffective our lead-ers are today, let’s take the time to really plan for our future family and together we construct a better world, one kid at a time.

Population growth is one of many issues today that, unfortunately, is not receiving more of the spotlight that many other key issues are. This is very concerning, see-ing that our global population is swiftly surpassing unimaginable numbers. How-ever, with so many countries in dire need of resources - and so many others with a surplus - the problem may land itself on the head honcho’s desk fairly soon.
According to the U.N. Population Fund, there will be 7 billion people sharing Earth’s space and natural resources by Oct. 31. This is a disturbing thought, because most of the people we know and talk to,
believe that the number is still in the low 6 billion. It may seem small in compari-son the entirety of Earth, but you have to remember that around 70 percent of the planet is covered in water and we still don’t have gills.
There are many possible solutions to this fast rise in world population. Some of them are grim, such as China’s one child policy, which limits families to one child. If this policy is not upheld, families are

The Atwood Quarry transformed into an underground rock sanctuary. With
lights, and an array of amps and sound equipment, The Quarry was converted for a live rock concert. With the stage set, the opening act took the stage.
3 Pill Morning, the starting act of the concert, entertained fans with original songs. In classic “rock” style, they banged their heads and moved around the stage with high energy.
As the opening act and tour partners of Throw the Fight, 3 Pill Morning is gain-ing more recognition on rock charts. Their current single titled “Loser” is ranked #55 on the active rock charts.
3 Pill Morning is a Minnesota-based band. They spent the winter in Nashville working on their second record “Take Control”, which was released on June 7, 2011.
touring in Green-land,” said David Kosloski, 3 Pill Morn-ing’s manager. After traveling, the band stopped by SCSU to support their music and entertain students.
“The reason we spend all that time in the van and rehearsing is to get to play shows every night,” said Jeff Steb-bins, the lead singer.
He said he has been singing since he was kid. “Rock is a good outlet because it is heavier and edgier,” he said, “Check out our videos and listen for free, and then get out to a live show,” Stebbins said.
After tons of ap-plause, 3 Pill Morning left the stage to wel-come Throw the Fight. Another hard core rock band, the group played
their new single “Not So Hollywood”.
Originating from Minneapolis, Throw the Fight started seven years ago. Ranging from heavy screaming rock to
lighter metal, the band has evolved throughout the years as they are cur-rently working on their third album.
The leader singer James Clark joined four years ago. A native of England, he started a band with his friends at 14 years old, and he dis-covered his singing abil-ity and hunger for music. “Our music is passion. We try to tell a story and cover issues everyone has in life and create a posi-tive outlook,” Clark said of the band.
Clark understands the importance of a positive outlook as he overcame cancer 2 ½ years ago. “I got through it with hope, and it really gives a new perspective to life, making you ap-preciate more and stay positive,” he said.
While he had cancer, Clark said he hung
one inspirational quote above his bed. It read: “Every day is a gift. Just some presents are better than others.”
“If you just stay posi-tive and have your fam-ily, friends, health and good music, that is all that matters,” Clark said.
Throw the Fight plans to continue tour-ing. Their third album is expected to be released in April 2012, as their single “Not So Hol-lywood” is climbing the charts.
During the concert, both rock bands got the audience involved. The lead singers, Stebbins and Clark, encouraged the crowd to sing along, clap their hands, and dance.
Each band sold mer-chandise, including their albums, T-shirts and bracelets, after the show. Throw the Fight and 3
Pill Morning signed au-tographs, took pictures, and met with fans after the performances as well.
Fans praised Throw the Fight and 3 Pill
-nitely see them again,” said Hayley Jergenson, a freshmen and avid rock music fan.
Richie Lacombe, an SCSU sophomore, loved the concert. “Throw the Fight can compete with any big band out there, and they are a Minneso-ta based, so that is cool,” Lacombe said. He said he has heard Throw the Fight on the rock radio station 93X before, and he has been a supporter since.
Clark enjoyed play-ing at SCSU as much as the fans enjoyed his per-formance. “It was really fun to play somewhere new,” he said.
The concert was sponsored by SCSU’s University Program Board Music Com-mittee.
The Univer-sity Program Board booked the bands, helped set up the stage, supplied volun-teers and organized the concert. Their hard work paid off, and the event was well attended.
Kraig Van Keu-len, the Live Music Coordinator for UPB, arranged for the bands to come to SCSU. “I contact the bands and organize everything for them to come to campus,” Van Keulen said. As a public relations major, he is a 5th year student and enjoys his work because it promotes his major.
Van Keulen said UPB has committee members that bring in ideas for music entertainment, and the committee then listens to the music and decides if the suggested bands are appropriate for campus. The next step is scheduling the band and designing a contract for them.
“We really take in others ideas, regard-less if they are our favorite genre or not. We try to bring what-ever bands would be fun to SCSU,” Van Keulen said. The
group’s main goal is to promote and arrange for diverse, exciting music genres to come to campus. The UPB music committee meets every Monday at 1 p.m. in the Oak Room and anyone is free to join.
3 Pill Morning and Throw the Fight rocked out in the Atwood Quarry on October 27. The event was free for everyone. Doors opened at 7:30 p.m. and the music started at 8 p.m. The rock bands played until about 10 p.m.

MOVIE REVIEW
“I Don’t Know How She Does It” is a movie many mothers can relate to.
The wonderment of how mothers manage to do everything and still look good a majority of the time is mystery to all as even some mothers don’t know how they make it all come together.
They take care of and help their children and hus-bands, do various house-hold chores, cook the meals, and have their own career.
They have an often over-packed schedule for each day. Research shows that mothers cannot sleep though an entire night, however, the reasons were unknown. For those who are wondering the same thing, ask any mother.
How do mothers keep their lives together without losing their minds? They cannot be rest until they are
they are ready for the next day.
Besides doing all this, these women still manage to look great. How mothers manage to complete their daily tasks and still man-age to keep themselves well
kept seems impossible to all, especially to the husbands.
Perhaps this is because as different as women and men are, so are their viewpoints of life. Many of these moms often go unrecognized as they blend seamlessly into the back-ground.
“I Don’t Know How She Does It” is an adap-tion of the best selling novel by Welsh journalist Allison Pearson. The novel follows the life of working mother, Kate Reddy, hope-lessly attempting to juggle marriage, children, and a demanding career.
The book is a cynically written, diary-style narra-tive from the perspective of Kate Reddy who endures endless days and sleepless nights as an investment manager and full-time
balance between her career and personal life.
Playing the role of the pressured Kate Reddy with-in the movie is Sarah Jessica Parker who was perfectly casted as the typical mom managing a household as well as her career.

dricks, Olivia Munn, Seth Meyers, Pierce Brosman, and Kelsey Grammar.

ALBUM REVIEW
Whenever musicians celebrate holidays, it’s either summer break, or, more than likely, the ever-popular Christmas day. It’s not like musi-cians are coming up with their own Christmas jingles, either. Every time the snow rolls in, so do the same classic Christmas songs, performed over and over again with the same tune and the same beat.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t like Christmas. In fact, Christmastime is the one part of the year that I always look forward to. It’s not even Christmas music in itself that I mind so much, now that I think about it. So what’s the problem?
Halloween is the problem. When most Christmas CDs come out, October isn’t even done yet. After that, we still have the entire
bells. I’d just like to enjoy a little paint-and-scare before busting out the pretty ornaments, that’s all.
Until then, I guess have to deal with the Christmas cheer early. Of course, the fact that She & Him released a new album this month made me a little more eager to check out some
that the title was ‘A Very She & Him Christ-mas’, but I have to admit, I wasn’t too sur-prised. It’s that time of the year again, and since covering America’s Wintry classics has always been a part of our musical tradition, why can’t the adorable Indie duo She & Him hop on the bandwagon too?
Plus, I’ve been a fan of the lead singer of She & Him, Zooey Deschanel, for years, and not just for her adorable personality and quirky acting roles. I haven’t had the chance to listen to all of what She & Him have put out before this year, but there’s at least a handful of their songs that I’ve enjoyed listening to here and there, so I had faith in the band to put out something nice.
Therefore, I decided to suck it up and give the CD a go.
Somehow I found myself not only listening, but actually enjoying a Christmas CD the day before Halloween.
Of course, there were a few songs that I wanted to skip just because I knew them like the back of my hand already - ‘Little Saint Nick’ and ‘Blue Christmas’, to name a few - but for the most part, the rest of the songs really surprised me. Not only did She & Him have a fresh, indie take on most of them, but the harmony of Deschanel and Ward’s voices was pleasant enough to put me into the Christmas mood already. I found that the more I listened to their CD, the more ideas I had to make gifts for family and friends two months from now.
Overall, I’d give this CD a seven out of 10, and not just because it was a Christmas CD. I was hoping for a little more original-
which was a little disappointing. In addition, the soundtrack seemed really short, with some songs only lasting two minutes at the most. There is one cool thing about this CD, though, that emulates the Christmas spirit pretty well: if you order ‘A Very She & Him Christmas’ on CD or red vinyl, not only will you receive exclusive She & Him wrapping paper (which I admit doesn’t affect me much, but it’s still a very big deal for Christmas lovers), but you’ll also be donating to a better cause, since a portion of
-tion for education, according to She & Him’s website.
Still, the rest of the musicians and bands still have the entire month of November to put out new CDs, and as much as I enjoyed ‘A Very She & Him Christmas’, I still have a ques-tion for the industry to maybe think about this month:
What’s so wrong with putting out a rock-and-roll Halloween monsters CD, anyway? It sounds like a pretty awesome idea to me.

Year 2011 has been dubbed “The Year of the Quarterback” after the performance of several starters put them on track to set passing mile-stones. But perhaps the most surpris-ing numbers are those being put up by the new faces under center.
Undoubtedly, some of the best rookie performances this year have come out of Carolina. Under the leadership of Cam Newton, the Pan-thers have turned its franchise from a cellar dweller to a team in what could be the last stages of rebuilding. New-ton replaced Jimmy Clausen this year and he has made the management look good ever since.
Cam may soon lose his number one receiver, Steve Smith, to retire-ment in the coming years. Smith had told the press that he was considering leaving the NFL. That would be a blow to the spark that Carolina has found. Cam Newton has thrown an average of 36 passes per game and
ground, it is usually when Cam turns broken plays into the week’s high-lights.
Newton threw for over 300 yards in three of his contests before week eight. Combine his capability to handle this workload with Newton’s innate athletic ability and the number one overall pick may have skeptics eat-ing their words for years to come.
Minnesota’s Christian Ponder may have taken over for McNabb, but he still has a lot to prove on the
Packers. Surely he needs time to develop,
but the coaching staff has been prais-ing his accuracy in practice. But a completion rate of 41 percent against a generous Green Bay secondary is a marring statistic right now in Ponder’s

showed his ability to make plays when given the opportunity and features a surprising poise even when his pocket collapses around him.
keeping out of the headlines for the most part. Cincinnati’s Andy Dalton has certainly done enough to impress
the critics so far this year. ESPN has promoted them from dead last in their preseason power rankings to the middle of the pack at the season’s midpoint.
This year 62 percent of Dalton’s passes have resulted in completions to his less than stellar receiving core led by fellow rookie A.J. Green. But perhaps we should listen to the only statistic that matters at the end of the week.
The Bengals have found them-selves hovering near second place in the AFC North for the majority of the 2012 season. One should also note that Cincinnati’s losses came by seven points or fewer, meaning they aren’t typically hoping for fourth quarter miracles.
This year rookie quarterbacks have given the fans of struggling teams something to cheer for. However they are all being held to different expecta-
by posting amazing numbers, rein-vigorating their struggling offenses, or
notches. At the end of the day, football fans
have to be impressed by the success that the 2011 draft class has found.

Ave. bridge) will eventu-ally intersect with another, much larger trail called the Bridges.
As suggested by its name, the Bridges trail creates a three-mile loop, crossing both the University Ave. Bridge and Division Street Bridge along its route.
Its starting point is located along 10th street, on the outskirts of the SCSU campus and continues north on Fifth Avenue towards Division, crosses the bridge, then heads south along Riv-erside Drive, and crosses the University Ave. Bridge back to the starting point.
For a slightly longer (but less scenic) route, there is
trail that bypasses Riverside Drive.
The Bridges trail is a popular route for runners, bikers, and others looking for a scenic place to exercise.
For a trail even longer than the Bridges, however, many venture to the Beaver Island Trail.
Similar to the previous trails, the majority of the Beaver Island Trail hugs the Mississippi river, making it one of the better known areas because of its beautiful scenery at any time of the
year.The trail runs along the
river, along County Road 75 and back towards SCSU on 10th street.
The entire loop is around four miles but, like the Bridges, there are alter-nate routes that give visitors the option for a two- or three-mile journey instead.
Eventually, the trail leads to Beaver Island Park, which includes a variety of services such as public water access, restrooms, picnic areas, and parking, making it a great place to stop, rest, and enjoy the views before setting off along the trail again.
These are just a few of the numerous nearby places to enjoy the outdoors. The City of St. Cloud Parks and Recreation Department offers an extensive list of 91 different parks and trails including maps, photos, and in some cases, nearby parking on their website at www.ci.stcloud.mn.us/Park/Website/master.html.

to combat the Huskies scoring drive, but a dropped pass by Zach Zweifel spelled distaster for UMD’s drive, and they had to punt the ball to the Huskies. The Huskies didn’t fare well on their drive either, and couldn’t make much progress. On a third down and 11, a blitz by UMD forced Klaphake out of the pocket for not much progress.
The Huskies punted the ball to the Bulldogs, who were forced to make a third down conversion. The Huskies stepped up the pressure and Vogler couldn’t convert on a third down, and the Huskies’ offense got another chance to extend their lead.
The Huskies started off the drive well, as Klaphake found Eli Shoemaker for 13 and 22 yard passes. In the red zone where it mattered, the running game picked up where the passing game left off, and got the Huskies a touchdown, punched in by Mike Walker on a three yard run. Huskies increased their lead 14-0.
The next drive for the Bulldogs didn’t fare well either as the Huskies forced them to make a play on fourth down and a yard. What looked like a promising drive for the Bulldogs soon turned into disaster, when a penalty on the offense set them back in their own territory and a sack by Ross Kees added further negative yardage. Facing third down and 35 yards, the Bulldogs chose to run to get some positive yards, but in the end running back Brian Lucas could manage only three yards before being tackled.
The Huskies’ offense piled on the pressure on. The Huskies, with only 3:13 minutes remaining, looked to add more points to their total. Klaphake found people near the sideline to save time, and keep the drive rolling. Walker ran it in for a yard touchdown in the second quarter to add to the Huskies’ lead 21-0.
The second half started with the Huskies receiving the ball. The Huskies started from their own 20-yardline. The Huskies took only 4 plays on their drive, and Dante Steward
-ing the Huskies lead 28-0.
The Bulldogs would looked put some points on the board. However, on third down they would lose yards on the play and would need to punt the ball. The Huskies couldn’t muster a drive, and had to punt the ball away as well. The Bulldogs drove the ball well, led by Vogler who made some outstanding plays. He took his team to the Huskies’ 4-yard-line, but on a fourth the Huskies’ Mark Martin and Joe Everson would tackle Zach Hulce for a loss, and get the ball on their 2-yardline. The mood on the Huskies sideline was electric afterwards.
“The goal line stand was huge and shutting them out the -
fense played phenomenal and once they score like that and our defense is sound we know we are a good team,” Kubes said.
The next couple of drives went nowhere for both teams,
Huskies and Bulldogs came to a halt. The Huskies eventu-ally found offense. Damon Treat and Walker would be the
and afterwards Treat would complete the drive with a 14 and 25 yard run for a touchdown, to extend the Huskies’ lead to 35-0.
At this point The Huskies forced the Bulldogs into a seven minute drive which ate up most of the clock in the
next drive. In the end, the Huskies took knee and ran the clock out for the win.
After the game Philip Klaphake said,“We played really well, we knew it was going to be tough game and we are glad we came away with a ‘W.’” echoing the sentiment of his coaches he said, “You know it is one of those big games. I am not going to say it’s the number one game. Its not a
playoff game or championship game or anything like that in the regular season its one of the bigger games.” When asked about how they would get focused for their next game he

The Huskies took control in the beginning of the third set, bringing it to 5-2 before Augustana came back to tie it at 5. They maintained a strong lead until the 12-19 mark, when SCSU called a time-out. They came back strong and looked likely to even up the score right up until the end, when Augustana won 18-25. Attack errors were SCSU nine to Augustana’s four.
“We’ve been working on a lot of defense in practice, and I think that carried over to tonight,” Nagle said. “I think we made huge strides as a team, also, from the stuff that we’ve been work-ing on. We actually executed in the game what we’ve been doing in practice.”
Blaeser said the game was a good one for individ-ual players. Chelsea Nagle on defense was mentioned in particular, who had 14 digs. Buckley had the same opinion of Augustana.
“Holly Hafemeyer out of the middle was really good for us, Jordan Spatenka got better as the match went on, but I just thought our defense today had really

The Huskies won against University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) at home 35-7, improving their record in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference. The Huskies had a record attendance for the game, as 5,158 people came to watch the Huskies take on the Bull-dogs. Defensive back Tony Kubes said after the game, “It was a great game obviously they are defending champs. It was a physical game, the
outcome [of the game] was nice. I am kind of at a loss for words right now.”
This game was highly antici-pated as many Husky players were looking forward to this game after
-nals. Running back, Dante Steward said after the game, “Coming back from last year has been on our mind all off-season long. We would hear sports anchors and people talking about it all year long and we want to settle it and we are at home.”

on UMD, and were able to advance deep in UMD territory. A miscom-munication nearly cost the Huskies the possession. It became a minor foot note in the drive which was successfully executed by the Huskies. The drive was punctuated by a 10 yard run on a second hand goal by the quarterback for the Huskies, Philip Klaphake, for a touchdown to give the Huskies the lead 7-0.

Volleyball had another losing weekend, giving all three of Friday’s sets to Augustana and Saturday’s to Wayne State.
“Each set, both teams came out to a little bit of a shaky start,” said Ashley Buckley, head volleyball coach for Augus-tana, “but I thought we did a good job blocking well, defen-sively had some really good moments for us, and I thought our team executed offensively really well.”
Michelle Blaeser, SCSU’s head volleyball coach, and the team’s libero, Chelsea Nagle, both cited errors as one of their team’s weak spots in the game.
“They came ready to play, we were ready to play, but they made less hitting errors than we did, they had a higher hitting percentage than we did,” Nagle said.

With fall quickly coming to an end, our time to enjoy the outdoors frostbite-free is dwindling. Luckily, there are plenty of great places in the area to make that happen, some of which are located around a major national landmark, the Mississippi River.
While St. Cloud is home to numerous parks and trails, there are three that seem to attract the most visitors, and they happen to be in close proximity to SCSU.
The River Walk, which runs along the shores of the Mississippi behind several buildings at SCSU, is a great way for students, staff, faculty, and even community members to experience the outdoors with minimal travel required.
Although this trail is a short one, being only 0.6 miles long, it has its fair share of breathtaking views and even allows visitors to take a set of stairs down to the waters edge where a dock offers a chance look at the University Ave. bridge from an entirely different perspec-tive.
Those who frequent the SCSU campus use this trail as an escape from classes, a chance to take a leisurely stroll, or as a segment of a larger trail used for running, biking, or other physical activity.
