A controversial mural that some say was racist and xenophobic has sparked a debate over the limits of free speech at the Univeristy of Minnesota.

The University has experienced the confluence of frustrations and opposing viewpoints surrounding the issue following the painting of a mural by College Republicans which prominently featured the phrase, “Build the Wall.”

The mural ignited protests and prompted dueling letters and statements that called for censorship of language that is perceived to be hateful. The event also caused some to advocate for allowing all var ying or unpopular opinions, no matter how

After life-saving surgery, regent repays U with service Tom Anderson returned to the U to give back after a risky but successful heart surgery in 1963.

BY KEVIN BECKMAN kbeckman@mndaily.com

In the fall of 1963, 5-year-old Tom Anderson was admitted to the Variety Club Heart Hospital at the University of Minnesota for a risky open-heart surgery.

Anderson had a congenital atrial septal defect which reduces oxygen in the blood supply and becomes progressively worse if untreated.

Anderson, a University of Minnesota regent, credits the school with saving his life, and in 2015, he took a position on joined the board as a way to give back to the school.

At the time of the procedure, it carried a 50-50 chance of success. The University hospital was one of the only places in the country that could perform the operation.

“The prognosis was not good if we did nothing,” Anderson said. His parents debated about whether to go through with the

A new study by University of Minnesota researchers, which suggests that a minimum wage increase would have miniscule negative impacts on the city, has left some officials divided.

At a city meeting last week, a research team from the University’s Humphrey School of Public Affairs presented findings that a $15 per hour minimum wage would help low-earning workers and bring few negative effects.

City officials met the report with mixed reactions and some skepticism.

The Humphrey School’s Roy Wilkins Center for Human Resources and Social Justice worked to simulate a potential wage bump’s impact after the City Council commissioned the study.

According to the study, a $15 minimum wage in Minneapolis would help as many as 71,000 low-wage workers — around 23 percent of the city’s workforce — by 2021.

Ward 3 City Council Member Jacob Frey said a minimum wage increase would “substantially help” low-income workers — adding the change wouldn’t cause much harm to city business if implemented thoughtfully.

But not all at the presentation were

surgery and decided to do it.

Community members from Anderson’s hometown of Alexandria, Minnesota helped his family by raising the 30 pints of blood needed to have the surgery.

“I still keep a list … I can tell you who the people were who donated blood,” he said. “I keep it on my desk. … I’m ver y grateful for what communities have done.”

Anderson credits University surgeon C. Walton Lillehei and the rest of the University team that pioneered the procedure with saving his life.

“If I had not been born in the shadow of the University of Minnesota, I probably wouldn’t be here today,” he said.

Anderson said that while he remembers his time as a student at the University fondly, his strongest memories of campus come from the month of his recovery after surgery.

“I remember … going on walks with my mom along River Road and crossing the bridge over Washington Avenue to the mall,” he said.

Colleges around the country, including the University of Minnesota, have seen a drop in drinking paired with more marijuana use.

While alcohol use has declined at the University in the past decade, marijuana use continues to rise despite a lack of smoking in those under 18. However, national and area experts still don’t know for certain what causes this trend.

High-risk drinking at the University has decreased nearly 10 percent since 2001. The total number of students consuming alcohol fell about 6 percent in the same period.

There aren’t many anti-drug or alcohol outreach efforts at the University, said Dave Golden, Boynton Health public health and communications director, adding the pushes are often ineffective with students.

“We don’t reach out and say ‘hey we have these services’ because that doesn’t work.

People need to be able to find these services when they need them … really most of what we see is referrals where they’ve gotten into some level of trouble,” Golden said.

Gophers fall to Iowa, 14-7 In Saturday’s game, Iowa took the lead against Minnesota late in the fourth quarter.

BY MIKE HENDRICKSON mhendrickson@mndaily.com

Somehow, the game came down to a 4th-and-15 situation.

A poor of fensive per formance by the Gophers was about to be erased as quarterback Mitch Leidner marched his team — now at Iowa’s 18-yard line — down the field.

Iowa was up seven with under 50 seconds left, and Leidner was looking to redeem himself from what was going to be his worst game of the season so far.

Leidner’s pass sailed into the end zone

and was batted away by Iowa cornerback Greg Mabin. The Hawkeyes ran out the clock from there to win 14-7 and rushed over to their sideline to keep the Floyd of Rosedale trophy in Iowa City Saturday at TCF Bank Stadium.

“This is two states battling against each other, so it is disappointing,” said head coach Tracy Claeys. “Great ballgame as [it] stayed close until the end, and both sides battled.”

Iowa (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten) took a 14-7 lead on a one-play drive in the fourth quarter.

Running back Akrum Wadley forced two missed tackles – one by Minnesota linebacker Jack L ynn and another by defensive back Jacob Huf f – and ran for an easy 54-yard touchdown. u See FOOTBALL Page 6

STATE REPORT ONDORO REPEATS AS TWIN CITIES MARATHON WINNER, SETS RECORD ST. PAUL — Kenyan Dominic Ondoro has repeated as winner of the Twin Cities Marathon, this time breaking a 30-year-old course record.

Ondoro crossed the finish line Sunday in 2 hours, 8 minutes, 51 seconds. The Star Tribune (http://strib. mn/2doy5W6 ) reports his time was more than a minute better than the previous record of 2:10:05 set by Phil Coppess in 1985.

Ondoro beat his own time from last year by nearly 2.5 minutes. Another Kenyan, Elisha Barno, finished second for the second straight year at 2:10:21. Rodgers Gesabwa was third at 2:15:24.

Kenyan Jane Kibii was top women’s finisher at 2:30:01 a year after taking second place. She pulled away during the second half and finished more than 2 minutes ahead of Sarah Kiptoo, who finished at 2:32:18. Serkalem Abrha was third at 2:34:58.

GROUPS QUESTION POLYMET MINE CLIMATE CHANGE ANALYSIS ST. PAUL — Environmental groups want to know how much the proposed PolyMet copper-nickel mine in northeastern Minnesota could affect climate change.

Most of the debate over PolyMet has centered on the mine’s potential water pollution in a pristine area of the state. But new federal guidelines instruct agencies to account for a project’s greenhouse gas emissions, so the groups are asking the federal government to do a more thorough analysis of PolyMet’s potential climate change impacts, Minnesota Public Radio News (http:// bit.ly/2dTGZzN ) reported.

Advocacy director Aaron Klemz of Friends of the Boundar y Waters Wilderness said PolyMet could have “the equivalent of putting over 150,000 new vehicles on Minnesota roads.”

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources already has approved PolyMet’s final environmental impact statement, allowing the company to pursue state permits for the mine.

Rescues, worry after Matthew inundates North Carolina

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — When Hurricane Matthew dumped torrential rains on North Carolina, thousands of people found themselves suddenly trapped in homes and cars. Rescuers in Coast Guard helicopters plucked some of them from rooftops and used military vehicles to reach others, including a woman who held on to a tree for three hours after her car was overrun by flood waters.

In another dramatic rescue, a woman with her small child perched on the roof of her car had to be helped to safety as the waters rose around them, underscoring how quickly Matthew wreaked havoc 100 miles or more inland after sparing much of the Southeast-

ern coast the catastrophic damage once feared.

The storm killed more than 500 people in Haiti and at least 18 in the U.S. — nearly half of them in North Carolina. Most were swept away by flood waters.

Gov. Pat McCror y said authorities were searching for five people and feared they may find more victims.

The problems were far from over as all that rain — more than a foot in places — flows into rivers and downstream, likely causing days of major flooding in many of the same places devastated by a similar deluge from Hurricane Floyd in 1999.

“Hurricane Matthew is off the map. But it is still with us. And it is still deadly,” McCrory said.

Princeville, a town of 2,000

that disappeared in the waters of the Tar River during Floyd, was evacuated Sunday as the river was expected to rise to 17 feet above flood stage by late Monday — a level not seen since Floyd. McCrory expected more evacuations as some rivers were predicted to crest next Friday.

David Bullock’s sister called him as he bought lottery tickets to tell him police were knocking on doors saying they had to go. He rebuilt his home after the 1999 flood.

“If I get flooded again, I can’t take it. I can’t go back and take the expense. If I get flooded again I’m going to say, ‘it’s yours, I’m gone,’” Bullock said.

More than a million people in South Carolina and North Carolina were without power, and at least four

separate sections of Interstate 95 — the main artery linking the East Coast from Florida to Maine — were closed in North Carolina.

The ferocity of the rain caught people by surprise.

Ezekiel Crowe escaped the floods in Fayetteville on Saturday with his parents and seven brothers and sisters when a police boat plucked them from an apartment as the waters rose.

“I was scared. I was scared. And I thought, I thought the world was going to end. But it didn’t,” he said.

The rainfall totals were staggering: Nearly 15 inches in Fayetteville and 8 inches in Raleigh. McCrory warned that cities along rivers in eastern North Carolina needed to be prepared for days of flooding.

Young boy revived Trains side-swiped after boat capsizes causing derailment in San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO — Two children pulled out of the San Francisco Bay in critical condition after a recreational sailboat carr ying 30 people capsized are doing well, and one has been released from the hospital, officials said Sunday.

A child who was not breathing when he was pulled from the water Saturday and required CPR remains hospitalized in stable condition, the San Francisco Fire Department said.

A third child and five adults were also hospitalized.

The 34-foot sailboat named Khaleesi was carr ying 27 adults and three children capsized for unknown reasons Saturday afternoon about 100 yards of f Pier 45, San Francisco Police Of ficer Giselle Talkoff said.

O n e 5 - y e a r - o l d b o y, who was unconscious and not breathing when he was pulled out of the water, was eventually revived, said Jonathan Baxter, a public information officer for San

Francisco Fire Depar tment. Another 5-year-old boy was also initially listed in critical condition but was later downgraded to stable, he added.

All eight people who were hospitalized were expected to sur vive, Baxter said.

Video and photographs posted on social media showed people floating near a capsized boat while good Samaritans threw red life vests into the water. Other photographs shoed youths and adults barefoot and wrapped in thick gray blankets on shore after being rescued. The boat was fully submerged in the water.

Fisherman David Griffiths told the San Francisco Chronicle he tossed life jackets to the people in the water. He was taking of f his shoes and getting ready to jump in when the first rescue teams arrived, Griffiths said.

Fire Department Assistant Chief Bob Postel said rescue teams from the fire and police departments and the U.S. Coast Guard all rushed to the scene.

NEW HYDE PARK, N.Y. — A 12-car commuter train and a work train performing track maintenance were traveling the same direction when they “side-swiped” each other, causing the commuter train to derail and injuring 33 people, four seriously, state officials said Sunday.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo, speaking at the site of the Saturday night accident, said initial reviews indicate the yellow maintenance train somehow entered the clearance space of the eastbound Long Island Rail Road train, causing it to derail and leaving “a splatter of yellow paint where the first collision occurred.”

“Both trains were running in the same direction — one was a work train, one was a revenue train and they side-swiped each other,” said Cuomo, a Democrat. “The question is why.”

Federal investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board were to determine what exactly caused the accident, Cuomo said.

The derailment comes 10 days after another commuter train in New Jersey crashed into a terminal, killing one person and injuring more than 100.

Four people sustained serious injuries in the Saturday collision, including one passenger with multiple broken bones and a worker who suffered cuts, Metropolitan Transit Authority Chairman Thomas Prendergast said.

Five Long Island Rail Road employees on the commuter train, and two on the work train, were among the injured, he said.

Craig Heller, one of 600 passengers aboard the LIRR train Saturday night, said his car started shaking suddenly after the collision.

“The car was shaking back and forth and back and forth,” he said. “We felt like we could actually completely tilt over while it was happening. That was a fear.”

Emergency workers used ladders to bring the injured off the derailed trail, which came to a stop on a stretch of tracks in a remote area on a hill about 22 miles east of New York City.

Workers were trying to clear at least one of the two tracks before the Monday morning commute, Cuomo said. The maintenance train had finished its track work Saturday night when it somehow violated the commuter train’s space, Prendergast said.

less because of national prevention programs, which delay the age people start using the drug.

“Delaying is good,” Johnson said. “Ever y year you can delay use … is preventing future substance abuse.”

ThanhVan Vu, a Boynton drug counselor, said she’s seen cases where a social drinking environment triggers a student to try marijuana for the first time, which could lead to future use.

“I would suspect that we’re going to see more and more cases of marijuana … and I think my colleagues would agree with that,” she said.

Most students sent to counseling have violations, Vu said. But those sent for marijuana use often don’t see it as a problem and often consider it a solution to personal distress.

Breaking a 20-year tradition, the University of Minnesota has decided to make applications for two vacant spots, which facilitate faculty-legislator communication, open to the public.

The role of the position — faculty legislative liaison — is meant to share faculty concerns with state of ficials when the Minnesota legislature is in session. Traditionally, applicants learned about an opening for the position from other faculty members and the University’s Faculty Consultative Committee, but leaders decided to cast a wider net and publicly petition to fill the influential position.

Vickie Courtney, the director of the University Senate office, said the opening was advertised to faculty on the president’s website.

“It [was] impor tant to make sure that the faculty in the University community are aware of [the position] and to really open it up so that more people know about it,” she said.

The deadline to apply was Sept. 30, and the positions will be filled by the end of the month, she said, adding that interviews are currently being scheduled.

University pr esident Mark Yudof created the faculty legislative liaison to connect the faculty with the state legislature. Applicants are inter viewed by the FCC and the president’s office, then appointed by the president.

Previously, the position

7.4

BY OLIVIA JOHNSON ojohnson@mndaily.com

was filled by word-ofmouth within FCC. The group would then make recommendations to the president, Courtney said.

Colin Campbell, chair of the FCC and pharmacology professor, said they wanted to diversify the position and get faculty more involved.

“There are terrific people that we were word-ofmouthing with, but there are ter rific people that we weren’t aware of and we didn’t know them, we didn’t know they had an interest,” he said.

At Thursday’s FCC meeting, vice chair Joe Konstan said many of the schools in the Big 10 do not have a faculty legislative liaison and that the University is unique in how it communicates with the state.

“The faculty voice is critically important for the students, and the student voice is critically important for the faculty,” Campbell said.

Michael Kyba, a member of the FCC and pediatrics professor, said that, though he is newer to the FCC, he’s seen the importance of having liaisons to the legislature.

“It’s important that the legislatur e understand what’s going on at the University. What our strengths are, what our concerns are, because they are the ones who fund the University,” he said. “Having a dedicated couple of legislative liaisons is one way in which that function is achieved.”

Campbell said the job is a big commitment that requires faculty to make known their perspective to the state legislature.

“It’s something ver y different than what professors do,” he said. “I think it’s just one of those things … I think it is unusual.”

There is no punishment for students who don’t complete the AlcoholEdu program, Golden said.

He said, to his knowledge, that there are no campus programs specifically targeting drugs other than alcohol. But if a student is caught violating a drug policy, they are placed in a program designed to help them rather than punish them.

Meanwhile, marijuana use has risen since 2007 both nationally and at the University.

While fewer people under 18 smoke marijuana, total use has grown, with more than an estimated 22.2 million people using the drug in the last 30 days.

Researchers are unsure if marijuana affects alcohol trends, said Kimberly Johnson, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration director.

Some studies show marijuana replaces alcohol use, but others show they are used together, Johnson said.

can cause them to be sent to a drug counselor, Golden said.

Alcohol prevention efforts at the University are directed by the Alcohol Abuse and Prevention Committee.

The University tries to help students in trouble with alcohol or marijuana use after the fact. SLS refers students to alternative punishment methods — like community service — that don’t leave a mark on their permanent record, said Mark Karon, the University SLS director and APAP committee member.

Citations for underage drinking have also dropped over the past few years, Karon said, but this is likely due to 2013’s medical amnesty law, which grants immunity to those who call 911 for alcohol overdoses, rather than a drop in drinking.

Israel: Palestinian shooter in Jerusalem kills 2, wounds 5

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A Palestinian militant car ried out a drive-by shooting near the national headquar ters of the Israeli police in Jer usalem Sunday, killing two people and wounding five others before being shot dead following a frenzied chase through the streets of the holy city, Israeli police and emergency services said.

The attack, carried out in broad daylight by a member of the Hamas militant group with a long police record, was one of the bloodiest during a yearlong spate of Palestinian assaults. Israel had beefed up security in recent weeks, warning that the potential for violence could rise during the current Jewish high holiday season.

“This past year has not been easy,” President Reuven Rivlin said in a statement calling for national unity. “Time after time, just as today, the civilian home front found itself to be the front line.”

In Washington, the State Depar tment condemned the shooting in the “strongest possible terms.”

Spokesman Mark Toner said there is “absolutely no justification for the taking of innocent lives.” He also condemned statements “glorifying this reprehensible and cowardly attack.”

The police headquarters has been a frequent location of attacks, both because of the large number of officers in the vicinity and because of its location along the invisible line between predominantly Jewish west Jerusalem and the Palestinian neighborhoods of east Jerusalem.

Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said the

attacker sped toward a busy stop of the city’s light rail and opened fire, hitting a 60-year-old woman.

He continued driving and shot another woman who was seated in her car before speeding off toward an Arab neighborhood in east Jerusalem.

Samri said police of ficers on motorcycles chased the assailant, who eventually stepped out of his vehicle and opened fire at them. A separate police force ultimately shot and killed the attacker, Samri said.

The Israeli national rescue ser vice, Mada, said two people were killed.

Police identified one of the dead as a 29-year-old of ficer, Yosef Kirma. The 60-year-old woman, identified as Levanah Malichi, also died.

Police said the shooter was a 39-year-old man from the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan. They did not release his name.

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the shooter had used a .556-caliber automatic rifle, in contrast to the crude, homemade firearms typically used in past attacks. He said police were tr ying to determine how the shooter had obtained the weapon.

Israeli media repor ted the man had previously ser ved multiple sentences for violent acts and was due to repor t to prison Sunday for another sentence over assaulting a police officer.

The Hamas militant group stopped shor t of claiming responsibility for the attack. But in a statement issued in the Gaza Strip, it identified the shooter as Musbah Abu Sbaih, an activist known as the “Lion of Al Aqsa.”

Regent Thomas Anderson poses for a portrait on Thursday at the McNamara Alumni Center.

Anderson u from Page 1

Anderson decided to study mortuar y science at the University following the death of his father, who owned a small funeral home in Alexandria. He said he wanted to take up the family business so it didn’t have to be sold.

“I had frankly never dreamed of being a funeral director at that time,” he said. “But out of family commitment, my hand went up, and I said, ‘I’ll do it.’”

As a student, Anderson would be on campus from Sunday night to Thursday night and go home on the weekends to help at the mortuary.

After running the family business for over three decades, Anderson wanted to become more involved with the University community.

“I said, ‘I need to be part of this again,’” he said.

Anderson was elected to the Board of Regents in 2015 and quickly developed a reputation among the University’s leadership and other regents as a friendly and engaged board member.

“Tom Anderson is so friendly, he would talk to a fence post,” said board chair Dean Johnson. “He is engaged, and he listens to the procedures and the protocols of how the Board of Regents operates. He gains credibility with the leadership, with the administration as well as other

regents. He takes each issue on its merits. I have a great deal of respect for Tom.” Johnson said witnessing Anderson’s conversations with the Minnesota State Legislature while he was running for a seat on the board resonated with him.

“I remember his statement, ‘I want to give something back,’” Johnson said.

“That’s the right attitude to have about being a regent.”

Anderson has ser ved on a number of corporate, community and civic boards, including the Alexandria Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce, Douglas County’s Health Care Foundation and the Board of Directors for Knute Nelson Health Care, where he was board chair for three years.

“Tom was ver y much a servant-leader,” said Knute Nelson’s president and CEO, Mark Anderson. “He really cared about the people we were ser ving. You can just sense Tom has a genuine affection for spending time with people.”

Douglas Machine CFO Tom Wosepka first met Anderson when their sons played hockey together. As a new member of the Alexandria community, Wosepka said Anderson was a valuable friend to have.

“One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate about Tom is his knowledge and his care and concern for the community he lives in,” Wosepka said. “He’s one of those guys who just knows everybody.”

The Daily recently met with Anderson for a shor t Q&A about his time on the board so far.

Since getting elected to the Board, what have been some of your priorities for the University?

I really have no priorities other than when I say I want to make the University the best it can possibly be. … I want ever yday Minnesotans to understand how the University of Minnesota is relevant in their lives and how it can help them. … I wouldn’t be here today if it weren’t for the University of Minnesota. … I have no agenda other than I study ever ything, I study ever y issue.

What might be some of the issues the board is handling this year that could show that relevance to Minnesotans?

I think what we’re doing with M Health and the initiative to have a brand of health … we don’t necessarily know where that is going, but I think getting a handle of where M Health will be in the Af fordable Care Act is one thing that we have to talk about. … We’re well-positioned with our exper ts at the University with creating ter tiar y and quater nar y care, and we just need to know where that fits with the Fair view system.

CHRIS DANG, DAILY

School that we’ll figure out where that exact fit is. … I think MnDRIVE and what we’re doing in research in all phases of technology will be huge in creating more job opportunities and business opportunities. …

I think we have to always look at what is the student experience at the University of Minnesota. … I think teaching the grand challenges of the world to our kids and giving this liberalbased education … those things are the things I enjoy working on.

Is there anything you’re looking for ward to for the rest of the year?

I’m learning so much.

My take is I’ve just scratched the sur face of what’s happening there.

I’m excited about what kind of par tnerships we can have with our legislators. … I think another issue where we’ve partnered with legislators to create a better Minnesota is our Bell Museum of Natural Histor y going up on the St. Paul campus. We’ve been able to co-fund that together. I’m excited about what can be done. I think that if we work together — the people of the state of Minnesota, the Board of Regents, the talent we have on research and the state legislators — we can really fulfill our land-grant mission fabulously.

U alumna supports cancer research Former veterinary professor Simone Xavier co-founded Sigma Beauty.

BY ELIANA SCHREIBER eschreiber@mndaily.com

When she moved to Minneapolis to star t her Ph.D., Simone Xavier never imagined her patents would extend beyond veterinary medicine and into makeup brushes.

Now, Xavier and her husband Rene Xavier Filho — a civil engineer — run Sigma Beauty full time, and their Minnesota-based company is partnering with the University of Minnesota’s Masonic Cancer Center this month to raise money for breast cancer research.

Xavier built a connection with the University after getting her Ph.D. in the early 2000s and later returned as a professor in the College of Veterinary Medicine, where she studied bacteria in swine.

The Xaviers, Brazil natives, first launched Sigma Beauty’s website to sell miscellaneous items to friends back home. Eventually, they realized demand for makeup brushes was more widespread.

“My husband looked at the brushes and said, ‘I can make these,’” she said.

As a civil engineer, Xavier

Filho already made paintbrushes and had the skillset to produce the brushes at low prices, she said.

Xavier said she watched YouTube videos to learn more about what makeup users wanted. In 2009, she sent a few social media personalities brush kits.

Many gave the br ushes positive reviews, and Xavier said the company “exploded.”

“One day we went upstairs for dinner, we came back, and ever ything was sold out,” Xavier said. “The 500 kits that we had.”

Xavier Filho quit his job right away to run the company. But Xavier wasn’t as quick to drop her job at the University.

“After it got way too big to be a side business, I had to make a choice, and I had to leave and go run it,” she said.

“Which [was] very weird for me and for my friends at the [University].”

Montserrat Torremorell, a CVM associate professor, said she and many of Xavier’s colleagues were surprised when she chose to leave.

“She was ver y successful as a scientist, and then all of a sudden, she [changed] paths,” Torremorell said. “We were surprised, but at the same time, we knew … it was a good opportunity.”

Xavier had worked to grow the company during her

“When I see a report that basically says, ‘there’s no negative [effect] to businesses at all,’ it’s hard for me to consider the report completely unbiased,” Ward 7 City Council Member Lisa Goodman said at Wednesday’s meeting.

The study also found the restaurant industr y would see the highest increase in wages. To of fset this added cost, menu prices would have to increase a little more than a dollar.

But Goodman expressed concer n that businesses operating on tight margins, like restaurants in her ward, may struggle to survive the possible 5 percent increase in cost projected by the study.

Additionally, the study found roughly half of the workers who would benefit from the wage increase are people of color.

The Ethiopian government has declared a state of emergency effective immediately following a week of antigovernment violence that resulted in deaths and property damage across the country, especially in the restive Oromia region.

In a televised address on Sunday morning, Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn said the state of emergency was declared because there has been “enormous” damage to property.

“We put our citizens’ safety first. Besides, we want to put an end to the damage that is being carried out against infrastructure projects, education institutions, health centers, administration and justice buildings,” said Desalegn on the state Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation.

“The recent developments in Ethiopia have put the integrity of the nation at risk,” he said.

“The state of emergency will not breach basic human rights enshrined under the Ethiopian constitution and won’t also affect diplomatic rights listed under the Vienna Convention,” said Desalegn.

time as a full-time professor, Torremorell said, and eventually had to choose one.

Maria Pieters, CVM assistant professor and another of Xavier’s former colleagues, said the University was sad to

see her leave.

“I felt bad for the University because I knew they were losing a good person who was really active in the swine industry,” Pieters said.

While the transition seems

random, Xavier said she uses some of the same analytical skills she learned in her veterinary work at her company.

Because October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, Xavier and Xavier Filho’s

website will donate $1 from each sale of pink makeup brushes to the Masonic Cancer Center.

“We hope in the future we can help much more,” Xavier Filho said.

Protests spur state of emergency in Ethiopia

CARTER JONES, DAILY

Founders of Sigma Beauty Simone Xavier and Rene Xavier Filho pose in the company’s offices in Mendota Heights on Friday.

Xavier said transitioning from being a professor to running a business has been a challenge.

The internet is blocked across many parts of Ethiopia, residents reported Sunday. The government has blocked the internet for more than a week to prevent protesters from using social media to get supporters to attend demonstrations.

Major towns and cities across Ethiopia’s Oromia region are experiencing unrest and widespread violent protests of people demanding wider freedoms.

More than 50 people were killed on Oct. 2 in a stampede triggered when police fired teargas and bullets to disperse protestors at the annual Irrecha thanksgiving celebration in Bishoftu town.

An American woman was killed last week when she was hit by a rock thrown by protesters. Some businesses have been targeted because of suspected links to the government, which is promoting Ethiopia as one of Africa’s topperforming economies.

The state-affiliated Fana Broadcasting Corporate said the attacks on factories in Sebeta town on the outskirts of the capital, Addis Ababa, affected more than 40,000 workers. Textile, plastic, cement and bottled-water factories have been targeted.

offensive they may be.

Despite the outcry of the mural’s message, University President Eric Kaler called for those who disagreed with the message to “engage in more protected speech,” drawing criticism from many who were angry that he didn’t denounce the message.

From trigger warnings to political correctness to bias response teams, free speech on college campuses has become a divisive debate at colleges and universities — and Kaler’s support of free speech echoes many other administrators’ stances that say speech, no matter how offensive,, needs to be protected.

“The “Paint the Bridge” incident has generated much discussion and debate … I know for many of you, particularly Latinx students, faculty and staff, the words on the panel hurt,” Kaler said in a schoolwide email about the event. “It is especially important for our University to respect political speech. It is at the core of our academic tradition, our political process, and the laws of the land.”

Still, certain speech at the University has inspired outpourings of emotions from students, faculty and community members that say free speech should be limited in instances where offensive speech is directed at groups of people or individuals.

At least 100 protesters marched from Coffman Memorial Union to a discussion

at the University Recreation and Wellness Center days after protests over the mural sprang up the first time.

Protesters were handed a microphone about 15 minutes into the conversation to share their views on stage for the remainder of the event.

“I am one of many black students on this campus, one of many Muslim students on this campus and I am one of many women on this campus,” protester Maya Mohamed said to the crowd.

“And it is not fair that I do not feel safe because of this statement.”

Protesters addressed Kaler directly, calling him a hypocrite for defending College Republicans’ freedom of speech while failing to recognize, they said, the same free speech rights of six students who were arrested for protesting tuition hikes at a Board of Regents meeting in June.

“I do think that my message over the weekend about ‘Build the Wall’ should have been more inclusive about recognizing the pain it caused,” Kaler said, adding that he regrets weak wording in a campus-wide email concerning the College Republicans’ panel and subsequent vandalization.

Minnesota Student Association President Abeer Syedah told protesters to “cause a scene” while the group was gathering on the front steps of Coffman Memorial Union.

“President Kaler had the audacity to tell me [in a meeting] that he believes protests accomplish nothing for conversation,” she said. “Keep that in your hear ts today

when you go and protest.”

Events like these have added to a fissure between those who think “hate speech” doesn’t have a place on college campuses and free speech advocates.

Jane Kirtley, director of the University’s Silha Center for the Study of Media Ethics and a University journalism professor, said free speech actually protects oppressed groups.

“When groups that consider themselves oppressed tr y to stop speech, I think, they’re … not serving their own interests,” she said.

Kirtley said human emotions are a factor in ever y debate but particularly in a university setting, intellectual conversation should be given precedence.

She was critical of some of the Univeristy’s actions to accommodate the feelings of marginalized peoples, such as the implementation of an anonymous reporting system of professor’s comments, which may suppress free speech.

There will inevitably be “casualties of the first amendment,” Kirtley said, refer ring to those who might be offended or hurt by certain speech.

“They seem to think that people’s feelings trump the first amendment — they don’t. Not in a state university,” she said. ”This kind of rallying cr y, that there is a correct way to express views, that certain ideas are not protected … is to me ver y ver y disturbing.”

Alaina DeSalvo, a graduate student in higher

education organizational leadership and development, said she was disappointed with the outcome of the conversation, even after she stayed to talk with Kaler in a small group.

“People sat up here today, sharing their real true feelings, they were crying,” she said. “Kaler just said it was free speech under the law in a completely cold and composed way, and none of this mattered to him. That’s so disappointing to me.”

The debate following the “Build the Wall” panel and Kaler’s response, has been a welcome sight to Christopher Terry, a University assistant professor of journalism specializing in media law.

“Ideas compete, that’s the idea. Ideas and speech are supposed to compete against other ideas and speech. That’s how these things are suppose to happen,” he said.

Terr y said he was war y of the requests to limit speech. He asked that students take a step back and realize that just because speech is offensive doesn’t mean it’s not protected.

“If you honestly advocate that some speech has to go, the next speech that goes is yours … It’s all or nothing,” he said.

College Repubicans President Madison Faupel was asked for comment at the “Campus Conversation” but declined, and additional calls to the group were unanswered.

Gophers defensive back Jalen Myrick breaks up a touchdown pass at TCF Bank Stadium on Saturday.

Iowa defeats Minnesota in rivalry game Football u from Page 1

The Hawkeyes made a 2-point conversion, and held on from there to defeat Minnesota (3-2, 0-2 Big Ten).

“We’ve got to make the tackle. If we make the tackle, we’re good,” Claeys said.

The game was one to forget for Leidner.

The r edshir t senior quar terback finished with 13 completions on 33 attempts, no touchdowns and two interceptions.

Leidner’s 39.4 completion percentage was his worst since Nov. 29, 2014 when he only completed 27.8 percent of his passes against Wisconsin.

“They were just squeezing the pocket, and the protection wasn’t any good, and I think that leads to some inaccuracies,” Claeys said. “It

wasn’t pass inter ference.

They were tight on our r eceivers and physical on our receivers, and we didn’t have as big of windows as we’ve had in the past.”

The Gophers took a 7-6 lead on a 9-yard touchdown run by running back Shannon Brooks midway through the third quarter.

The r unning game was the only area where the Gophers saw any kind of success. Rodney Smith, Kobe McCrar y and Brooks finished with 22 attempts and 101 yards.

The struggle was especially apparent in the second half, as the trio only had nine touches.

“I think the holes were there,” Brooks said. “Maybe [we needed to] tr y to break more tackles and stuf f like that. We maybe missed a few holes on certain plays — things like that.”

separate field goals: one in the second quar ter and one in the third. The two field goals gave Iowa a 6-0 lead before Brooks’s run.

The Hawkeyes had to settle for field goals both times, as they were in the red zone and could not get the touchdown.

“We did a good job keeping them out of the end zone in the first half and getting them of f the field when we needed to,”

said linebacker Nick Rallis. “Just one big play in there that we needed to stop and play a complete game.”

D e f e n s i v e l y, i t w a s one of Minnesota’s better games.

Iowa quar terback C.J. Beathard finished with 142 yards on 17 completions and 31 attempts. He didn’t thr ow any touchdowns and had two interceptions.

The running game for the Hawkeyes was a different stor y. Iowa finished with 179 yards and the one key touchdown. Wadley had 107 yards on 14 attempts.

The game-winning drive that wasn’t for Minnesota came with 1:26 left in the fourth quarter.

Fans had already exited but the Gophers kept it interesting by completing three straight passes for a combined 52 yards.

Gophers run game stifled in 14-7 loss to Hawkeyes The ground game was held to just over 100 yards.

BY JACK WHITE jwhite@mndaily.com

The Gophers came into Saturday’s game against Iowa with a three-pronged attack in the backfield with redshir t sophomore Rodney Smith, junior Kobe McCrar y and sophomor e Shannon Br ooks each having games of over 100 yards rushing this season.

Iowa stopped that attack in Saturday’s game.

Minnesota had 102 r ushing yards in a 14-7 loss to the Hawkeyes.

“I think the holes were there,” Brooks said. “We maybe missed a few holes on cer tain plays, things like that, and then the ball security thing. We’ve got

to do a good job of that, keep the ball.”

Iowa came in with a lot to prove its r ush defense. The Hawkeyes had given up an average of 182.5 yar ds per game on the ground before their matchup against the Gophers.

Iowa’s weak r ush defense held Minnesota to its lowest rushing total in a game since the Minnesota-Wisconsin game on Nov. 28, 2015.

Minnesota was averaging 228 yards on the ground before its game against Iowa.

Head coach Tracy Claeys said he blamed the str uggle in the ground game on the of fensive line.

“It’s pretty obvious we got whipped up front,” Claeys said. “The offensive line, we couldn’t create some space …

On those days you get

whipped up fr ont, you don’t have a ver y good chance.”

Brooks was Minnesota’s leading rusher. He had 10 attempts for 55 yards and a touchdown. He had one touch in the four th quarter.

Smith str uggled to break through in the game.

The r edshir t sophomore’s longest r un came on a 9-yard gain. He amassed 44 yards with zero touchdowns and a fumble.

McCrar y was the star ter in the backfield for the Gophers, but his only r ush attempt of the game came in the first drive.

The lack of rushing offense made the Gophers one-dimensional in the second half.

times and turned the ball over twice during that period. “ Yo u ’ v e j u s t g o t t o tr ust what the coaches call and do your job ever y play and just tr ust what the coaches want to do,” Brooks said. “I believe in the staf f. We’ve got a great, great staff here, and I believe in our of fense. I feel like they make correct calls, so whatever they call we’ve just got to go

with it.”

Redshir t senior quarterback Mitch Leidner has also helped the Minnesota rushing attack during the season.

Leidner rushed for 141 yards and three touchdowns on the ground before this game,but he was held to one yard on seven attempts Saturday.

Redshir t senior right tackle Jonah Pirsig left the game with an ankle

injur y. Sophomore center Tyler Moore was playing through a left arm injur y.

The Gophers also rotated the guard positions between four dif ferent players.

“You can always go and pick excuses, [but] the bottom line is you’ve got to do it,” Claeys said. “We’ve got injuries up there a little bit, but got to find a way to get it done — that’s their job description.”

Gophers split first conference series Minnesota endured its first loss of the season at Bemidji State Saturday.

BY TOMMY SLETTEN tsletten@mndaily.com

The Gophers emerged with a series split that was nothing short of eventful as they hit the road for the first time this season over the weekend.

Minnesota forged a fierce third period comeback to defeat Bemidji State 3-1 Friday, but fell to the Beavers 2-0 in its first loss of its season in Saturday’s series finale.

“The win last night and our seniors stepping up meant a lot for us,” said head coach Brad Frost. “[Saturday], we unfortunately were unable to get the equalizer all game, and when you don’t score a goal it’s hard to win.

Credit to Bemidji for blocking

a lot of shots and some timely goals.”

Neither team scored in the first two periods of the first game, but the Gophers found themselves in trouble quickly in the third period.

Bemidji State (3-1, 1-1 WCHA) scored the first goal of the game during a five-onthree advantage with 14 minutes left in the game.

The No. 2 Gophers (3-1, 1-1 WCHA) found senior forward Dani Cameranesi, who took charge and pulled a victory from the what looked to be a defeat.

Cameranesi scored two goals in less than three minutes to give Minnesota a lead.

Junior forward Caitlin Reilly followed with another for the Gophers to come away with a 3-1 victory.

“It was a good job by our upperclassmen to lead us and get us those goals,” Frost said.

back of the net and Bemidji held the lead.

The Gophers pulled the goalie late in the third period looking for the equalizing goal, but instead saw an empty-net goal that sealed the 2-0 loss for Minnesota.

Peters had 17 saves, but Minnesota faced a tough Bemidji offense and goaltender that staved off 31 shots.

“I felt like it was a good game and we battled really hard,” Cameranesi said. “Obviously it’s hard to play on the

road for the first time — especially against Bemidji — but they played a good game.”

A loss this early in the season is somewhat uncharacteristic for the Gophers.

The team won nine consecutive games last season before suffering its first loss in late October.

Minnesota will have its chance at redemption in front of a home crowd this weekend against rival and fellow WCHA member, No. 6 Minnesota-Duluth.

BY DOMINIC DAVIS ddavis@mndaily.com

Minnesota made the most of its weekend games with two 3-0 wins against Iowa and Nebraska.

Gophers senior midfielder Josee Stiever scored twice Thursday and senior forward Simone Kolander scored two on the weekend. “[Our offense] is doing a really good job with their decision making and their patience,” said associate head coach Krystle Seidel. “We got some dangerous looks because we move the ball enough to find a really good look instead of taking the first available.”

Pouring rain became a factor in the second half of Thursday’s game, but the Gophers still found ways to score in an impressive offensive display in the second half.

Kolander set up Stiever for

her first goal. Stiever dribbled through tight spaces to find herself space in the box in front of the goal.

Sophomore midfielder Molly Fiedler played a layoff pass to set up Stiever to bury a goal from inside the box in the 87th minute.

Shortly after, in the 89th minute, sophomore forward April Bockin sent Kolander toward goal with a through ball, which Kolander took advantage of to give No. 17 Minnesota (11-3-1, 5-1-1 Big Ten) the 3-0 win against Iowa (7-8-0, 1-6-0 Big Ten).

Stiever has now scored seven goals this season.

Senior goalie Tarah Hobbs took possession of the Minnesota soccer shutout record against Iowa. It was her 28th clean sheet as a member of the Gophers. “[Breaking the record] was really surprising,” Hobbs said. “It’s a credit to the entire team and how hard we work.

They make my job easy. Overall it was a really good feeling.”

Hobbs added to her record in Minnesota’s 3-0 shutout against Nebraska (9-5-1, 3-3-1

Big Ten) on Sunday.

Nebraska managed one shot on goal in the game, but Hobbs handled it without trouble. She took care of all the crosses Nebraska played across her goal.

Junior forward Kellie McGahn started the Gophers scoring with her first goal of the season.

“It felt really good,” McGahn said. “I feel like this whole year I’ve been pushing and pushing to try and get one. It’s almost like a relief that I finally got the first one, so hopefully more will be coming.”

Stiever dribbled along the goal line toward goal and crossed it to McGahn who found herself wide open in the box. She launched the ball into the top of the net.

Minnesota produced multiple good scoring opportunities throughout the match.

to give Minnesota a two-goal lead in the 23rd minute. The Gophers went into halftime up 2-0.

“Depth in general is a huge strength for us,” Seidel said. “The players who fill in for starters make good contributions to the team.”

The Huskers found themselves defending for much of the match as the Gophers kept most of the possession throughout the game.

Kolander scored with two seconds left in the match to give Minnesota another 3-0 win this season.

“It’s huge [to get these two wins],” Seidel said. “To sweep any weekend in the Big Ten is a huge feat because anyone can beat anyone on a given day.”

Gophers forgo first meet due to severe weather Hurricane Matthew threatened much of Florida, but never made landfall.

BY EMILY NICOLE POLGLAZE epolglaze@mndaily.com

Both Minnesota swim and dive teams opted to stay home over the weekend, though they were set to kick off their seasons at Florida State.

The anticipation of Hurricane Matthew led the Gophers and the Duke Blue

Devils to sit the meet out, and as a result, Florida State cancelled the meet.

“The storm affected the travel plans of both teams,” Florida State’s head swimming and diving coach Neal Studd told the media Friday.

“We didn’t want to put any student-athlete in harm’s way and thought it was best to cancel. Hopefully, we can find another date that works best to have this meet.”

Tallahassee, where Florida State University is located, was not in Hurricane Matthew’s di-

rect path, and the University was listed as fully operational as of Friday, but the meet was slated to be held outside, which likely added to the team’s concern.

Jacksonville and St. Augustine were two cities affected by Matthew’s wrath, and Tallahassee became something of a “safe space” for those that needed to evacuate their homes, the Tallahassee Democrat reported.

Despite the weather threat, other Seminoles

teams carried on business as usual. Florida State’s No. 23 football team departed for a game a day later than normal but still traveled to Miami and upset the aptly named No. 10 Hurricanes 20-19.

The National Hurricane Center repor ted Sunday that Matthew is pulling away from the East Coast, but is still continuing to threaten the Mid-Atlantic region, most notably on the coast of North Carolina, and will affect this area for the next couple of days.

No. 1 Minnesota found redemption after Friday’s away loss to Penn State, sweeping Northwestern in straight sets.

“Obviously the Penn State loss was tough, but we know we need to get b etter, ” s en i o r m i d d l e blocker Hannah Tapp said.

“Hopefully we can take that loss and learn from it. We were looking for ward to coming out here and playing well, which I think we did.”

Minnesota saw strong performances from senior outside hitter Sarah Wilhite who had 14 kills and 9 digs, and junior libero Dalianliz Rosado who had 11 digs. Sophomore setter Samantha Seliger-Swenson compiled 36 assists, 11 digs and three service aces.

The Gophers proved to be too much for the Wildcats in the first set, winning 25-17.

Seliger-Swenson started off the set with two consecutive aces, with Minnesota going on a 3-0 run. However, Northwestern came up with a 3-0 run of their own to tie up the match early.

Minnesota broke away in the set with an 8-2 run, taking the set shortly thereafter.

W ilhite had six kills followed by junior middle blocker Molly Lohman with four and Hannah Tapp with three.

Minnesota took the second set 25-21, which was a set of runs by both teams.

“I thought we did a good job at stopping their runs before they really got started,” Wilhite said. “Not letting them get more than a few points before we did.”

The two squads traded points from the outset of the set, culminating in a 10-7 Nor thwester n lead.

Three consecutive kills and two blocks from senior

middle blocker Hannah Tapp led to the resurgence of the Minnesota of fense, leading them on a 7-0 run.

Northwestern then tied the set up at 15-15, fresh off of a 5-1 run.

Minnesota had the last laugh and the last run, capping off an 8-3 run with an ace from Seliger-Swenson.

Hannah Tapp had seven kills on the set, leading all players. Wilhite and freshman outside hitter Alexis Har t each had three kills while Wilhite and SeligerSwenson each picked up six digs.

Minnesota completed the sweep in the third set, winning 25-17.

The beginning of the set was back and forth, reaching a score of 13-11.Hannah Tapp again sparked the Minnesota offense with two straight kills, leading her team on a 7-2 run. The Gophers closed out the set with a Wilhite kill and a Northwestern hitting error.

Hannah Tapp was the catalyst for the Gophers ag ai n s t No r thwes ter n , seemingly having an answer for every single Wildcat run. She was second in the match with 13 kills, but also had a match-high five blocks.

She was there at ever y point when Minnesota needed her, breaking up key Wildcat r uns in the second and third set.

“It’s always nice to play at home r egar dless of what has come before,” said head coach Hugh McCutcheon. “We tr y to get a little bit better every match and play Gopher Volleyball, and I thought we did that today.”

However, there’s one perspective that is largely absent from the narrative surrounding this event: The people who believe in building a wall at our southern border also believe, in their hear t, that their position doesn’t stem from racism or

So climate change is in our future.” His ver y basic argument is that spending money on efforts to reduce climate change is futile, and we should instead be investing in coal-fired plants. I mean, if the sun is going to swallow the ear th anyway, why does it matter if we allow the temperature of our planet to climb?

According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, if global emissions continue on their current trajector y, the temperature of the ear th is predicted to rise eight degrees by the end of the centur y.

The ef fect of that temperature increase will cause the sea level to rise from one to four feet, threatening New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and a host of other lowlying areas. This isn’t in billions of years — it’s by 2100.

Johnson’s approach to climate change is medieval. We still have billions of years left before the ear th could be rendered uninhabitable by the expanding sun, and avoiding climate change — let alone contributing to it through the use of

If Johnson is attempting to make himself an attractive candidate to younger voters, he is going to have to consider that most 20-somethings are hyperaware of climate change and its ef fects.

xenophobia.

The closest thing we’ve seen to an endorsement of “Build the Wall” on campus — outside of the College Republicans’ snarky of ficial statement — is students conceding that, yes, the sentiment is inherently offensive but it’s protected under the First Amendment. Is this an error in reporting? Or is “pro-wall” just a position that’s difficult to come by?

Whatever the case may be, I’m not the person to give that perspective as those are not my personal views. But I am curious what others think.

I will say this: Conceding “free speech” is a remarkably simple way for those not targeted by “Build the Wall” to shrug off the concerns of the people who are. Additionally, free speech solely for the sake of free speech — and with total disregard for the people affected — will almost certainly bring about a strong and emotional response from those who are opposed to what is stated.

While I’m opposed to the suppression of free speech, when you make a statement to provoke a response, you cannot be surprised when you get just that.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A student author published an ar ticle in the Minnesota Republic on Oct. 3 entitled “How the Bridge’s Vandalism Mirrors Rape Culture” that equated the following two experiences: - Navigating the societal reality of “rape culture,” in which sexual violence is commonplace for women and others with marginalized identities, and in which this violence is both normalized and excused due to the messages and understandings perpetuated around gender and sexuality.

- Spending a mor ning putting paint that you got for free on a wall that you do not own, and then having someone write a message that counters your original message over it.

I have a real problem with that. And I think our campus and all those whom experience the fear and pain that rape culture breeds deser ve public discourse that is better than that.

Just a few weeks ago, this same author published a piece in that same publication that stated, “We as a university — as people of all races, genders, and ethnicities — need to check our own privilege.”

I’m giving him an open opportunity to take his own advice and do just that.

When you wrote your article, did writing the words “rape” make you shake and feel nauseated because of the associations and memories that such terms conjure? Does writing — or reading — the words “rape culture” force you to confront memories of your own physical violations, memories that you work so diligently and actively to suppress ever y

EDITORIALS Campus Climate event a missed opportunity

ast week, the Paint the Bridge event sparked controversy on campus. The University of Minnesota student group College Republicans painted a mural with the words, “Build the Wall,” featured prominently — in part as a promotional statement for their student group on a panel on the Washington Avenue bridge. After much protest, President Kaler sent out two emails: The first email condemned the panel’s subsequent vandalism and promoted the idea of mutual respect, despite the diverse microcosm of opposing cultures and ideas on the University’s campus. The second email promoted a “Campus Climate” event with the purpose of starting a more formal dialogue about the issues that had sprung forth.

The purpose of the event was to host a forum for speakers from every side of the debate to voice their concerns.

About 15 minutes after the event had started, a line of nearly 200 students came to protest, chanting, “Hey Hey, Ho Ho, Racism has got to go,” and encircling those in attendance at the event.

In many ways, the ensuing protest curtailed the objective of the campus climate event, which was meant to create a safe space where issues surrounding free speech could be tackled.

We think that protests are affective bringing attention to a problem. Protests were needed to get to this stage — without protesting, perhaps the issue of the perceived xenophobia and racism of the mural wouldn’t have been brought to the forefront of our campus’ dialogue. We would argue that nearly all students know that the qualms and frustrations of those who the speech offended, and that the campus climate event was a logical step to spur a conversation about these issues.

Protesting an event whose sole objective was to start a dialogue about the climate and inclusivity of campus, though, delegitimizes any commitment that many students should have shown to improving the situation.

Protesting an event whose sole objective was to start a dialogue about the climate and inclusivity of campus, though, delegitimizes any commitment that many students should have shown to improving the situation.

Even Abeer Syedah, the Minnesota Student Association student body president, was at the event. Prior to the event, Abeer told students to “cause a scene.”

Throughout history, protest has been an essential and wholly democratic component to civic discourse. But, perhaps in this instance, it was counterproductive. While some may argue the event itself was a tokenistic gesture, it was an opportunity for students who feel threatened by their community to interact with administrators and think of actionable ways to support inclusion.

As a campus, we need to take every opportunity to have productive and meaningful conversations. Causing a “scene” may make it clear to administrators that students feel passionately about spurning racism and xenophobia on campus. But administrators are the ones who can translate feelings into policy — even for those who are reluctant, we ought to engage with University leaders if we wish to see change on our campus.

On Thursday, Kaler was fulfilling his end of the bargain by listening to students, retroactively. Many of those who are affected by hate speech are tired and frustrated by what seems to be a constant stonewalling by administrators — venting frustration and the rhetoric of protest are compelling responses. But perhaps it’s time to realize that it’s not enough to just demand and shout for change, it’s time we look to Abeer and our student representatives of MSA to create policy directives aimed at ensuring ever y student on campus feels safe and included.

DR. DATE Dear Dr. Date,

I have been dating my boyfriend since high school. We even went to grade school together and ended up choosing the same college.

We have always seen eye to eye on most things except for political issues. That division has been exacerbated this last month.

I was a part of the group protesting the “Build the Wall” mural. I think that it is such vile and hateful speech that it doesn’t deserve a place on campus.

But he, on the other hand, supports Donald Trump and the “Build the Wall” message and doesn’t see a problem with others supporting that type of speech.

Xenophobic and racist views harm disenfranchised groups and hurt them in ways that most of us have never experienced.

I haven’t spoken to him much since the event, and I don’t know if I want to date him anymore.

Nevertheless, I don’t want to lose someone who has been in my life for so long.

Help!

—Politics Collide Dear Politics,

I understand how this situation can feel

so hopeless.

Many students come to college and begin to form and solidify their political views.

Universities across the country have always represented a place for young people to have tough conversations on some of the darkest parts of humanity.

The important word in that last paragraph is “tough.”

Not everyone has the same political views and that is a good thing.

In all of history, there has never been a group or idea that has been completely correct.

One of the greatest achievements of humanity has been its ability to converse about the best direction to take.

Yes, sometimes that conversation is slow. Sometimes it is frustrating. Sometimes it is painful. Sometimes a group has to sit and suffer because of the snail-like pace that accompanies the public’s perception on controversial ideas.

But the discourse between clashing ideals has always been a healthy part of our society.

It helps weed out the cruel, horrific parts of society.

People can never be convinced by being

told they are wrong, but many can change their views through productive conversations about important topics.

With that said, don’t give up on your relationship. Talk it out. Listen to him and ask him to listen to you. If, in the end, you can’t reconcile your beliefs with his, at least you both heard each other out.

—Dr. Date

Dear Dr. Date,

I think my boyfriend is a time traveler.

When we first met in 2005, he seemed so ahead of his time.

Bearded, slicked back hair, flannels with a sexy pair of suspenders.

Since then, he has refused to change his style, even as the lumbersexual look has been thrown to the curb.

Now, if an aging style was his only fault, I wouldn’t suspect that he is actually from the late 1800s.

But lately, he has been complaining about how he is only paid in currency that can be redeemed at the company he works at and how he and his friends were “bamboozled” by strike busters when they tried to protest.

Plus, he calls retail stores haberdasheries.

—Lost in time

Dear Time,

I completely understand. Finding out that your significant other is a time traveler is serious business.

The thought of your loved one’s molecules being torn apart and reassembled in a new timeline is heartbreaking.

There are so many questions involved that it provokes an existential crisis.

Will he eventually want to travel back in time? Is he even the same person? Is he further along on the same timeline, or is this a different timeline that exists within the same multiverse? Are we a copy of his timeline that solely was created for him to travel forward in time? Does he understand the cultural advances that we have made, such as Nutella banana sandwiches?

Uffda. It’s a lot to think about.

Luckily, you can comfort yourself with the fact that time travel creates so many paradoxes and logical inconsistencies that the mere existence of the multitudes of universes and timelines make the idea of free will impossible.

Wait. This was supposed to be comforting wasn’t it?

—Dr. Date

U research finds source of cancer adaptation Researchers are targeting enzymes that help cancer fight treatment.

BY KEATON SCHMITT kschmitt@mndaily.com

A previously unknown molecule in roughly half of the world’s population that helps cancer fight treatment was recently discovered through University of Minnesota research.

Late last month, a University lab published a study which found an enzyme — A3H-I — that mutates cancer. A second study, published Friday, shows a similar mole cule, A3B, which heavily mutates cancer cells and cor relates with bad

medical outcomes.

When cancer has more mutations, it becomes better able to adapt to treatment and resist dr ugs, said Reuben Har ris, professor in the Depar tment of Biochemistr y, Molecular Biology and Biophysics and author on the studies.

In the second study, high amounts of A3B cut treatment’s ef fective time in half, said Douglas Yee, director of the Masonic Cancer Center and author on the second study.

The additional mutations give cancer cells more chances to develop traits that could fight dr ugs or the body, said Harris.

More mutations could also give cancer a higher chance of spreading in the

body, Yee said. Changes from mutation to the cancer cells could let them travel through the body more easily.

“If the tumor’s evolving at a faster rate, the likelihood of those tumors becoming resistant to whatever drug we throw at [it] will be much higher,” Harris said.

Cancer treatments of t en g r ow l es s ef f ective over time, Yee said.

If cancer mutation could be slowed down, doctors would be able to better treat patients, even without new cancer-killing drugs.

“Cancer is a disease of mutation; if there’s no mutations, there’s no cancer,” Harris said.

This adaptation to

treatment is a common problem in patients, said David Largaespada, associate director for basic science at the MCC. Increasing dr ug resistance in cancer was recently picked by the Blue Ribbon Panel Cancer Moonshot — a national group of exper ts created to study cancer — as an impor tant area where future research could find a solution.

Researchers found A3B causes mutations in cancer before, but about half of the world’s population lacks A3B and still has highly-adaptive cancer.

Har ris said the team found those who lack A3B have A3H-I, which takes over in the absence of A3B and makes it easier for

cancer to mutate. Dr ugs that inhibit A3H-I could let patients sur vive longer on conventional treatments.

If cancer could be continually suppressed without symptoms, it could be treated like a chronic disease, Yee said. Suppression of these enzymes could let doctors make cancer manageable instead of searching for a one-off “cure.”

“If I had a therapy that your quality of life and quantity of life would not be af fected … that’s functionally a cure,” Yee said.

The lab is now working on making a drug to fight the enzymes, Harris said.

Because the molecules are so similar, it’s likely that a dr ug designed to inhibit one will also stop

the other.

“Now that we know the targets … that are causing these mutations in cancer, we can target our therapies,” he said.

Currently, there are no dr ugs available that suppress cancer adaptation.

“If I had a therapy that your quality of life and quantity of life would not be affected ... that’s functionally a cure.”

Lawmaker pay heads to voters

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Far below the ballot ovals for the presidential race, Minnesota voters will answer a critical question that has vexed state lawmakers for years: Should they be setting their own pay?

It comes in the form of the constitutional amendment that would hand the power to set salaries to an independent body. That could solve a political nightmare for lawmakers who haven’t received a raise for nearly two decades, but few legislators or outside political groups are talking about it on the campaign trail.

Here’s a look at what’s on the ballot and why.

Current Pay The constant refrain that Minnesota lawmakers are underpaid has been matched only by the fear of political backfire if they vote

for an increase.

Minnesota’s 201 part-time legislators are paid about $31,000 a year, though House and Senate leaders make more. Per diems — a daily expense allowance — can bump that up another $9,000 or $10,000. It’s been that way since 1999, the last year the Legislature approved a raise.

That puts Minnesota in the middle of the pack for legislator salaries nationwide. Calls to raise that have grown, with some lawmakers saying their duties are increasingly feeling like a full-time job. Proponents of higher pay say that the current compensation discourages some people from running in the first place.

An advisor y council’s recommendation to boost lawmaker salaries by about $10,000 in 2013 triggered the latest vote, but that effort stalled in the House that

year. Soon after, the constitutional amendment was put in place.

The Amendment Sen. Kent Eken thinks it’s a no-brainer: Politicians shouldn’t be voting on their own pay.

“This is the most glaring, clear conflict of interest there is in the Legislature,” the Twin Valley Democrat said.

“We should be focusing on our constituents, not on our pay.”

Eken had pushed for the amendment for years before it was successfully passed in 2013. To him, it’s not about securing a raise for lawmakers but to make it an objective, independent decision.

The amendment would set up a 16-member body — half Democrats and half Republicans. None could be current or former lawmakers or state officials or their relatives.

Hungary opposition paper closes suddenly

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BUDAPEST, Hungary — The closure of Hungar y’s main opposition newspaper is a “huge blow” to the countr y’s media diversity and press freedoms, a European advocate for media said Sunday.

The left-leaning Nepszabadsag newspaper’s sudden apparent end pointed to reasons beyond the accumulation of losses noted by publisher Mediaworks, said Dunja Mijatovic, media freedom representative for the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.

“The way it was done raises reasons for concerns — without transparency, without due process,” Mijatovic told The Associated Press in a phone interview from Vienna.

“It’s hard to believe this is just a simple business move. All this to me looks like something that’s definitely further damaging media freedom in Hungary.”

Mijatovic said that the shutting of the paper’s online edition was also strange, since that is an option chosen by many publications which abandon print editions.

Jour nalists at Nepszabadsag, a paper with roots in the communist era but which went through many changes since free elections in 1990, said that they had packed up their computers and other equipment on Friday for a weekend move back to their old newsroom which had been shut for renovations.

Managers promised pizza and a celebration for Sunday’s reopening and instead employees received notices of suspension early Saturday from motorcycle couriers.

“The deal is that the publication is suspended and we are free from having to work, but in theory we are still employees,” Nepszabadsag journalist Jozsef Spirk said. “No one inside knew anything.”
