STUDENT ISSUES

University wants state to reassess union ruling The U wants the state to undo a provision allowing for a tenure and non-tenure faculty union.

BY RAJU CHADUVULA rchaduvulaa@mndaily.com

The University of Minnesota wants the state’s Bureau of Mediation Services to reconsider a ruling from September that grouped faculty such as lecturers and teaching specialists with tenured faculty in the same bargaining unit for a faculty union vote.

Last week, the University asked the bureau to reconsider its decision to allow contingent faculty to be included in a potential union with tenure-track faculty, saying the outcome “disturbs the core mission of the University of Minnesota.” The University also asked the BMS to delay further union proceedings and a vote on the unionization effort until the issues are resolved.

Faculty union supporters hoped to schedule a vote to unionize before the end of the semester. u See APPEAL Page 3

SssDude-Nutz owner reflects on year, donut competition

Psychology sophomore Melody Colon speaks during a protest on the Washington Avenue Bridge on Saturday. During the Paint the Bridge event, College Republicans at the University of Minnesota painted a panel with a Donald Trump slogan that angered many students.

After one year in Dinkytown, Bradley Taylor says he’s not concerned about Tim Hortons.

BY RYAN FAIRCLOTH rfaircloth@mndaily.com

With Canadian coffee and doughnut chain Tim Hortons set to move in next door, SssDude-Nutz owner and University of Minnesota alum Bradley Taylor isn’t worried about his business going stale.

“If you’re too busy trying to look in other people’s lanes, then you’re automatically going to fail,” Taylor said.

To stay ahead of competition, the shop has doubled down on marketing, hosting various events including a Super Smash Brothers tournament and a clothing-line release pop-up shop. And Taylor said he’s even let University film students use his shop as a backdrop to shoot movies.

“I think, definitely to just keep marketing, keep going hard, keep collaborating with a lot of the students like we usually do,” he said.

Taylor said, it can be difficult to run marketing campaigns, because he only has one employee working in the kitchen helping him make the shop’s doughnuts.

“It’s to the point where … it’s inhibiting me because I need to focus on building … relationships with … people,” he said, adding that rapport with community members will help u See DONUTS Page 12

early 150 protesters gathered on the Washington Avenue Bridge Saturday to rally against a mural promoting Donald Trump’s presidency bid.

The multi-paneled mural — created by University of Minnesota’s College Republicans at the school’s Paint the Bridge event — included the words “Build the Wall,” which has been a central slogan in Trump’s campaign. The painting incited a flurry of social media condemnation and spurred the midday protest over the phrase’s perceived racism and xenophobia.

The mural has been spray-painted and effaced multiple times since it was finished Friday. One of the graffitied phrases reads, “Stop white supremacy.”

Trial for student protesters slated for December Six students who were arrested at a Board of Regents meeting last June rejected a pre-trial deal.

BY OLIVIA JOHNSON ojohnson@mndaily.com

A pretrial hearing was held Thursday for six University of Minnesota students who were arrested for interrupting a Board of Regents meeting last spring.

The hearing at the Hennepin County Government Center offered deals to the students, who were arrested in June. A group of about 30 disrupted the meeting last spring in protest of proposed tuition increases. The Board of Re-

gents later approved the tuition hike.

On Thursday, the six students rejected deals offered to them to avoid trial, which included community service and potential jail time.

About 30 University students came to the pre-trial to show support for their classmates.

Elena Gambino, a political science graduate student who attended the hearing, said she was in attendance to stand up for the right to protest decisions made by University of Minnesota leaders.

“The bar for criminalizing students is far too low,” she said. “They were peaceful. … we stand behind them. We deserve a conversation.”

Another graduate student in attendance,

Farrah Tek, said she feels peaceful dissent is suppressed on campus.

“What’s unfair is the level of punishment,” she said. “There are larger issues on campus.”

Marty Branyon, a member of Students for a Democratic Society and history senior, was also in attendance to support his friend Max Franz, who was arrested during the protest.

“The University doesn’t give us legit ways to dissent,” he said. “They don’t give a way to actually have our voices be heard.”

Civil rights attorney Jordan Kushner is representing the students when they go to trial this December.

Kushner was also arrested at the University last November for filming police officers during a different protest on campus.

The new University of Minnesota athletics director Mark Coyle sat down with the Minnesota Daily on Friday for the first iteration of a monthly Q&A. Coyle discussed his first few months on the job, the J Robinson termination and his future plans, among other topics.

Editor’s Note: “MD” signifies Minnesota Daily; “MC,” Mark Coyle.

MD: How has it been for you and your family getting acclimated to the state of Minnesota?

MC: It’s been great being back here.

We were here from 2001 to 2005, and I’ve talked a lot about [how] our oldest two children were born here. We now have Benjamin in our family, so it’s three of us and my wife Kristen, but it’s been really great to be back. We really enjoy the Midwest values and being around a lot of family, which has been great for us.

MD: Do you have a favorite Minnesota team you’ve been following this year?

MC: I’m not dodging your question, I follow them all … I have a great deal of respect for student-athletes because they come in and they [have] got to compete in a high level in the Big Ten conference. They have to compete academically at a worldclass institution and do it the right way, academically, so I really enjoy watching all of our sports. As you know, I got here in May u See COYLE Page 8

STATE REPORT TASK COMPLETED AS AMERICANS WIN BACK RYDER CUP CHASKA, Minn. — This wasn’t about being maybe the best team ever assembled. The Americans were simply a team, and they finally won back the Ryder Cup. Phil Mickelson led the Americans behind the scenes. Patrick Reed powered them with his passion on the golf course.

And it was R yan Moore, the final captain’s pick who wasn’t even on the team until a week ago Sunday, who deliver ed the cup-clinching point at Hazeltine.

Moore finished eagle-birdie-par for a 1-up victor y over Lee Westwood, and the celebration was on.

“When put in the right environment, the U.S. team brought out some amazing golf,” Mickelson said. “And we’re bringing back the R yder Cup because of it.”

There was no meltdown like Medinah four years ago, when the Americans blew a 10-6 lead under captain Davis Love III. Eur ope never r eally had a chance.

Reed outdueled and outshouted Ror y McIlroy for a 1-up victor y, and by then the back end of the scoreboard was filled with American red.

The final score was 1711, the biggest rout for the United States since 1981.

That U.S. team is considered the best team ever.

Boy, 6, dies after school shooting

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLUMBIA, S.C. — A 6-year-old boy who was critically wounded in a school shooting died Saturday, days after a 14-yearold boy opened fire on a school playground, authorities said.

Jacob Hall had been fighting for his life at a h osp ital afte r a bul l et str uck him in a main arter y in his leg, causing him a major brain injur y due to a “catastrophic” loss of blood, his doctor said. Jacob died about 1 p.m. Saturday, and an autopsy will be done Sunday, Anderson County Coroner Greg Shore said.

Authorities say Jacob, another student and a

first-grade teacher at To w n v i l l e E l e m e n t a r y were wounded by the teenager, who had just killed his father at their home.

After the slaying, the teen — who is not old enough to have a driver’s license — drove a pickup tr uck about 3 miles down a countr y road, crashed at the school and star ted firing with a handgun, authorities said.

The wounded were str uck as a door opened for recess. Another teacher who hear d the first gunshot was able to get other students safely inside, school of ficials have said. The other wounded student and the injured teacher, Meghan Hollingswor th, were treated and

released from a hospital.

Jacob’s parents, Renae and Rodger Hall, thanked the nurses and doctors who cared for Jacob and Hollingswor th, “who put her life on the line to tr y to protect and save Jacob.”

Jacob died surrounded by his family at Greenville Health System Children’s Hospital, his parents said in a statement.

“Jacob came into our lives six years and four months ago and changed it completely. He showed us how to love, laugh and smile even on days we did not want to,” his parents said. “God gave him to us and he was taken away from us by a senseless act.

We know that Jacob has already forgiven this child

for what he did to him and his family because that’s the kind of child he was.”

Authorities have not released a motive for either shooting.

The teenager was charged as a juvenile Friday with murder and three counts of attempted murder. The Associated Press typically does not identify juveniles charged with crimes.

Dr. Keith Webb called Jacob a “tremendous fighter” but said he “unable to overcome the catastrophic blood loss and resulting cardiopulmonar y ar rest caused when the bullet hit his femoral arter y.”

Trump tax revelation brings new challenges

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Ever defiant, Donald Trump and his Republican allies embraced a report on Sunday that said the New York businessman may not have paid federal income taxes for nearly two decades after he and his companies lost nearly $916 million in a single year.

The unexpected revelation punctuated a week of missteps and aggressive personal attacks from the Republican presidential contender, with early voting already underway in some states and Election Day quickly approaching.

In response to President Richar d Nixon’s or der to blockade the nor thern Vietnamese coast — mining Haiphong H a r b o r, a n d i n e f f e c t , continuing the V ietnam War — a massive, 3,000 -person protest arose on the University of Minnesota campus in May 1972.

Then-Gover nor Wendell Anderson and former Minneapolis Mayor Charles Stenvig ordered the U.S. National Guard to assist local police of ficers with controlling campus crowds.

The Minnesota Student Association asked administrators to close the school, but University President Malcolm Moos said a shutdown was unnecessar y.

The Minnesota Daily repor ted hour-by-hour coverage of the entire protest, which lasted for two days.

According to Minnesota Daily archival material, the University’s protests in May were in line with several other rallies that raged across the nation at the time as anti-war sentiment grew across college campuses.

Protests also occurred at Minnesota State University Mankato, Winona State University, and the University of Florida around the same time as the University of Minnesota’s protest.

Thunderstorm

If there was a bright spot to the explosive story about his taxes in The New York Times, Trump supporters said, it was that it may shift the national conversation away from Trump’s weeklong feud with a former beauty queen he called “Miss Piggy” as he shamed her for gaining weight, and his unfounded suggestion Hillary Clinton may have cheated on her husband.

“He’s not been on message,” said Barry Bennett, a former Trump adviser.

“A week was wasted where he could have been talking about the heroin epidemic and jobs and ISIS. All the money in the world can’t get

The mounting challenges injected a new sense of urgency into Trump’s White House bid with the next presidential debate a week away.

Tr ump is deciding whether to use the debate stage to attack Clinton’s role in the infidelities of her husband, former President Bill Clinton’s. That’s according to a person with intimate knowledge of Trump’s thinking as his senior advisers huddled Sunday for a rare session of debate preparation. The person was not authorized to discuss publicly the private conversations and spoke on condition of anonymity.

P u b l i c l y, h o w e v e r, Trump’s team was aggressively defiant on Sunday.

On “Fox News Sunday,” Christie declared it “a very, very good story for Donald Trump.” Giuliani called him “a genius at how to take advantage of legal remedies that can help your company survive and grow” on ABC’s “This Week.”

PM May says Britain will start Brexit by April

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — Britain will begin the formal process of leaving the European Union by the end of March, Prime Minister Theresa May said Sunday, seeking to ease concer n about the nation’s future and the threat of reduced foreign investment and the weakening of the economy.

Members of the r uling Conser vative Par ty applauded wildly as May said the British people had made it clear that they wanted a clear date for exiting the EU and that she was going to deliver. European leaders and company executives have pushed the gover nment to say when it plans to trigger Article 50 of the EU treaty, starting talks on the U.K.’s departure, so they can begin preparing for a postEU Britain.

“We will invoke it when we are ready, and we will be ready soon,” she said.

“We will invoke Ar ticle 50 no later than the end of March next year.”

While the prime minister had previously hinted that she planned to initiate Britain’s exit early next year, many obser vers had speculated she would wait until the conclusion of France’s presidential election in May or perhaps even the Ger man elections in late summer or fall

of next year.

But basking in the glow of par ty acolytes, a beaming May sounded as if she had campaigned for Britain to leave the EU all along — even though she had opposed that outcome before the June 23 referendum. In what sounded like a stump speech for “leave,” she hit on the emotive issues of sovereignty, immigration and world status.

She insisted there would be no unnecessar y delays in bringing Brexit to pass — and that Britain would fight any legal challenges intended to derail the move. She sternly rejected the idea that the gover nment would circumvent the result, making a face as she commented on those still fighting to stay.

Analysts said the deadline for star ting the talks was welcome, but businesses still need more detail about what Brexit will mean for trade and immigration.

While Britain seeks to control immigration from the EU, free movement of labor is a founding principle of the bloc. This means that any restrictions on immigration are likely to result in barriers to trade between Britain and the EU, said Jonathan Portes, a senior fellow at the National Institute for Economic and Social Research.

University wants state to reconsider union ruling Appeal u from Page 1

The University alleges that the bureau misread state law, contradicted itself in its ruling and misread the University’s positions, among other errors the BMS made in the decision, according to request.

Before the ruling, nontenure track faculty were included in the University’s professional and administrative unit — Unit 11 — while tenure-track faculty were classified as Unit 8, the University’s instructional unit.

“We believe the [nontenure track faculty] employees have been mistakenly grouped with our faculty who are covered under the Tenure Code,” Vice President for Human Resources Kathryn Brown said in an emailed statement. “All employees make vital contributions to the University, but do so in

different ways; this difference is reflected in the law, which places these groups in separate bargaining units.”

The two sides have clashed over the issue since March.

The University’s move was expected, said Mary Pogatshnik, a Spanish and Portuguese senior teaching specialist and member of Minnesota Academics United, which is spearheading the faculty unionization push. It also slows down the process to call a vote, she said.

“It’s completely disappointing that the University wants to spend more time and money fighting us, their own faculty,” Pogatshnik said.

John Budd, a professor of work and organizations in the University’s Carlson School of Management, said Unit 11 was created as a catchall group for any leftover professions not in other groups.

When the Minnesota

Legislature created the units decades ago, there were not as many contingent faculty at the University as there are today, Budd said.

In its appeal to the BMS, the University argued that since its founding, its mission focused on research, teaching and service — and that faculty such as teaching specialists and lecturers don’t fulfill all three categories.

“Unit 8 stands for scholarship in the fullest sense: the sum of the very best of teaching, research and service. That need not — and should not — diminish the role of the dedicated lecturers, teaching specialists, and other professionals and administrators who look to Unit 11 for representation,” the University said in the filing. “[The University] must challenge a definition of Unit 8 that diminishes the value it places on tenure, overlooks its dedication to research, and undervalues its service

to Minnesota and beyond.”

Pogatshnik, who said she conducts research, said the University is tr ying to say that only tenure and tenure-track faculty can do research. While contingent faculty might not get their name on the research, most of them are involved in some kind of research, she said. “[It’s] not true that only tenure-track faculty fulfill the tripartite mission of the [University],” she said.

Budd said the University’s appeal is something that forces union organizers to focus on legal efforts rather than on building relationships and support for its goal of a successful vote.

If the University is unsuccessful, it can file an appeal with the Minnesota Court of Appeals. In an email, University spokesman Evan Lapiska said the University has not determined its next steps beyond the reconsideration request.

18-year-old shot and killed by LA police

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — Officers shot and killed an 18-year-old man in south Los Angeles at the end of a car chase, sparking a protest by several dozen people angered by another fatal police shooting of a black man.

The Los Angeles County coroner’s of fice identified him Sunday as Carnell Snell Jr. of Los Angeles.

The pursuit began around 1 p.m. Saturday when of ficers tried to pull over a car with paper plates, suspecting the vehicle may have been

stolen, and the driver refused to stop, Los Angeles Police Sgt. Barr y Montgomer y said. The driver and passenger jumped out and police ran after them.

The passenger ran into the back of a house, where he was shot. The driver escaped.

E a r l y S u n d a y, t h e Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement that it found a handgun at the scene of the shooting. The department did not provide any more information about the gun.

He died on the same street where he lived.

Colombia’s peace deal on verge of being voted down in referendum

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOGOTA, Colombia — Colombia’s peace deal with leftist rebels was on the verge of collapsing in a national referendum Sunday, with those opposing the deal leading by a razor-thin margin with almost all votes counted.

Polls taken before the national referendum, in which voters were asked whether they wanted to

ratify or reject a deal ending a half century of hostilities with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, had pointed to the “yes” vote winning by an almost two-to-one margin.

But with more than 99 percent of polling stations reporting, 50.2 percent opposed the accord while just 49.8 percent favored it — a difference of less than 63,000 votes out of 13 million ballots.

The surprise outcome opens an uncertain outlook for the peace accord and is a major blow to President Juan Manuel Santos, who ever since being elected in 2010 had vowed to put an end to a half-century conflict that killed 220,000 and displaced almost 8 million.

Opposition to the accord, led by influential former President Alvaro Uribe, argued that the government was appeasing the FARC and

setting a bad example that criminal gangs would seize on. If the “no” vote prevailed, Uribe said, the government should return to the negotiating table.

But that is an option that Santos has ruled out. It’s unclear if fighting will resume or what other options the government has to save the accord.

The FARC, in a cr yptic message, made no indication of its future plans.

“The love we feel in our hearts is gigantic and with our words and actions will be able to reach peace,” the rebels said in a message published on Twitter as the “no” vote looked headed to victory.

The highly polarized campaign exposed how steep a challenge the government would face implementing the 297-page accord and bringing about real reconciliation.

Colombians overwhelmingly loathe the FARC, which the U.S. considers a terrorist group, and many considered provisions in the accord that would spare the rebels jail time an insult to victims of the long-running conflict.

Turnout was low, less than the 40 percent seen in recent congressional elections, a further sign to some analysts that Colombians’ enthusiasm for the ambitious accord was lacking.

Sssdude-Nutz celebrates anniversary

CHELSEA GORTMAKER, DAILY

A selection of doughnuts at Sssdude-Nutz on Saturday in Dinkytown.

CHELSEA GORTMAKER, DAILY

Sssdude-Nutz co-owner Bradley Taylor rides his bike to Open Streets Dinkytown to pass out free doughnuts on Saturday. Sssdude-Nutz has just celebrated its one-year anniversary, and Tim Hortons has signed a lease to move in next door.

grow the business.

Mike Corrao, SssDudeNutz employee and University of Minnesota junior, said he doesn’t think the shop’s customer base will suffer from the new chain competitor.

“This is such … a niche doughnut shop that it won’t be too big of a deal,” he said.

And Corrao said he thinks Tim Hortons’ broad approach to the fare they serve won’t conflict with SssDude-Nutz’s business model.

“People come here when they want a cool doughnut,” he said.

But Randal Gast, president of the Dinkytown Business Alliance and co-owner of Qdoba, said it’s tough to speculate whether area businesses will succeed.

“The competitive landscape of Dinkytown continues to be a very fluid situation,” he said. “Restaurants come and go.”

There are always new competitors coming in which puts a lot of pressure on incumbent businesses,

Gast said, though he said he doesn’t see Tim Hortons being able to match SssDudeNutz square-shaped doughnuts since the chain likely already has a pre-established formula. “[Taylor] has created a very unique, differentiated product,” Gast said. “I’ve never seen anyone else make doughnuts like that.”

If Taylor keeps distinguishing his business with a unique product, Gast said he will continue to succeed.

Aside from the businesses’ differences, Logan Jones, a University of Minnesota junior and frequent SssDudeNutz customer, said he thinks Taylor knows the community better than an outside company does.

“I think that with the stuff that [Taylor] is trying to put out there now and get going, he has a lot larger … community base than Tim Hortons could have,” he said.

Jones said he doesn’t see a large business like Tim Hortons being able to match the shop’s ambience, adding that being at SssDude-Nutz feels like hanging out rather than shopping.

“It feels like you’re just going over to your friend’s house to hang out and play videogames who happens to have some doughnuts there,” he said.

As for what’s next, Taylor said he’s focused on having another strong year but prefers not to look too far ahead.

“I think that when you look too far ahead … thingsstart to become a little distorted,” he said.

The shop celebrated its anniversary at an event on Sept.

24. Taylor said he learned a lot during his first year and even turned a profit that was reinvested into the business.

“I think what was best in our first year was actually … putting ourselves out on the map … letting people know that, even though we are based in Dinkytown, we actually boast some really good product,” he said.

Taylor said he’ll continue to hand out free doughnut holes on campus ever y Wednesday and may eventually look at doing pop-up shops in places such as Uptown and Northeast Minneapolis to expand the business’ reputation.

University student averts campus phone robbery A University junior fended off an attacker near Northrop.

BY KEATON SCHMITT kschmitt@mndaily.com

A University of Minnesota student was tackled in an attempted robber y Thursday night on Lilly Plaza, just east of Northrop Auditorium.

Kaitlin Lalmond, a piano

per formance junior, said she was walking through the plaza at around 9:15 p.m. with a friend when her friend noticed a strange man rushing toward her.

The unidentified man slammed into her from behind and tried to strip her phone from her hand. His grab missed and knocked Lalmond to the ground, she said.

She said the man wrestled for the phone but couldn’t take it. In the

scuf fle, the phone was thrown from the pair.

The suspect then ran of f to the nor th. Lalmond said she briefly chased after him, thinking he had taken her phone.

The University issued a timely warning Friday.

Lalmond wasn’t injured.

She recovered her phone and nothing else of hers was taken, she said. The University of Minnesota Police Department is currently investigating the case.

Dutch journalist killed in Libyan city of Sirte, IS bastion

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A sniper fatally shot a Dutch photojournalist on Sunday in the Libyan city of Sirte, the Islamic State’s last bastion in the chaoswracked Nor th African country.

Jeroen Oerlemans was killed while accompanying mine-clearing teams in the part of the city that has been freed from IS control, according to fellow journalist Joanie de Rijke, who was reporting with him for the Belgian publication Knack.

The Dutch ambassador to Libya, Eric Strating, tweeted: “Rest in Peace.

Your photographs of #Sirte #Libya and other places will live on forever.”

Foreign Minister Ber t Koenders said in a statement that “Oerlemans is a journalist who kept going where others stopped.

Driven to put the news into pictures in the world’s hotspots. It is profoundly sad that he has now paid the

ultimate price for this.”

Oerlemans, 45, is survived by his wife and three small children, according to Eike den Hertog of the Beeldunie photo agency.

Oerlemans had been scheduled to return home Monday.

He was wearing a bulletproof vest and helmet, “so he was protected,” and was clearly identifiable as a journalist, de Rijke, the journalist traveling with him, told Dutch national broadcaster NOS. “But it doesn’t matter to IS, of course. They shoot at everything and everybody,” she said.

Oerlemans was hit in the side, in an opening in the vest, and the shot reached his heart, de Rijke said after seeing her colleague’s body in the morgue.

She said it’s unclear whether he was targeted or whether it was an accidental hit, since there were crowds of people crossing back and forth at the same time.

“We were standing on the frontline,” she said.

“There was heavy fighting going on,” and active IS snipers in the area.

De Rijke insisted that Oerlemans and the other jour nalists cur rently in Sirte “didn’t take any bigger risks than all the others.”

“There were other people who were constantly crossing that street,” she told NOS. “He had the bad luck to get hit. Brutal bad luck.”

Den Hertog of the photo agecy mourned the loss of a friend and powerful photographer who “managed to capture what he wanted to say in pictures.”

“He wasn’t a cowboy.

He was prudent, and ver y smart,” den Hertog said.

Oerlemans was abducted and wounded in Syria in 2012 with British photographer John Cantlie, and freed a week later.

Cantlie was later abducted again, and is believed to remain in captivity.

Minnesota loses to Penn State in OT The Gophers gave up a 25-yard touchdown to lose 29-26 Saturday.

BY JACK WHITE jwhite@mndaily.com

Minnesota lost to Penn State 29-26 on the road in over time Saturday after sophomore Saquon Barkley broke through two Minnesota defenders to score a 25-yard touchdown run that secured the Gover nor’s Victor y Bell trophy.

“We played a hell of a game except for the third quar ter,” head coach Tracy Claeys told repor ters after the game. “We didn’t lose that game at the end.

We lost that game in the third quarter.”

The game was nothing short of suspenseful in the fourth quarter.

Penn State led by a touchdown before Minnesota scored ten unanswered points, in-

cluding a 37-yard touchdown run from sophomore r unning back Shannon Brooks. The Nittany Lions fired back right before the four th quar ter ended to bring themselves within field-goal range.

Claeys iced the Nittany Lions’ kicker, but senior kicker Tyler Davis remained composed. Davis hit a 40-yard field goal with two seconds remaining in the four th quar ter to send the game into overtime.

Minnesota called upon its kicker for the four th time in the game in over time. Redshir t sophomore Emmit Carpenter answered again for the Gophers.

Carpenter made the kick to give Minnesota the lead before Barkley’s touchdown r un. Carpenter’s four field goals and two extra points accounted for more than half of the Gophers’ scoring on the day.

Redshir t senior quar-

terback Mitch Leidner threw an interception for the second consecutive game. Leidner finished with 241 yards in the passing game, along with two sacks.

“We just struggled a little bit getting offense rolling, and then they made some plays on of fense as well,” Leidner said following the game.

Redshirt junior wide receiver Brian Smith had his best game of the year. He had career-highs in receptions and receiving yards with seven catches and 101 yards.

“He did a nice job,” Claeys said. “He dropped a couple tonight early on in the game, and we

couldn’t get anything going. We’ve been catching a few of those balls. I need to see film to see what’s going on in the trenches.”

Redshir t sophomor e r unning back Rodney Smith contributed his share in the close loss, totaling 143 yards. Brooks added 102 on the ground to go with his r ushing touchdown in the four th quarter.

Minnesota had 228 total rushing yards to Penn State’s 136.

Even though Barkley scor ed on the game-winning run, redshir t sophomore quar terback T race McSorely was the biggest offensive contributor for the Nittany Lions. McSorely threw for 335 yards with no turnovers on the day.

He was also the team’s leading r usher with 73 yards and a rushing touchdown.

Gophers secondary implodes in third quarter at PSU The unit gave up big plays through the air against the Nittany Lions.

BY MIKE HENDRICKSON mhendrickson@mndaily.com

Penn State finished Minnesota of f with a 25-yard touchdown run in overtime by sophomore running back Saquon Barkley, but the Nittany Lions were also victors through the air Saturday night in University Park, Pennsylvania.

Redshir t sophomore quarterback Trace McSorely had his best career game Saturday against the Gophers.

He threw one pass of 36

yards, two of 53 yards, and an 80-yard touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Irvin Charles.

Three of those four passes, including the 80-yard touchdown, all happened on consecutive drives in the third quarter. “[In the] third quarter we weren’t very good,” head coach Tracy Claeys told reporters after the game.

“That’s where we lost the football game.”

McSorely finished the day with 335 passing yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. The quarterback also led his team in rushing with 73 yards on eight carries with one touchdown.

This was the first time

Minnesota had allowed over 325 passing yards in a game since it gave up 439 yards through the air in a 43-24 victory over San Jose State on Sept. 21, 2013.

Minnesota was up 13-3 at halftime, but Penn State outscored Minnesota 17-0 in the third quarter when McSorely scored both of his touchdowns.

“We just struggled a little bit getting offense rolling, and then they made some plays on offense as well,” redshirt senior quarterback Mitch Leidner said after the game.

The Nittany Lions were still down 13-3 in the third quarter when the first big play happened.

McSorely aired the ball 30 yards on a 3rd-and-10 situation to Charles, who was being covered by redshirt junior safety Adekunle Ayinde. Charles shook off Ayinde effortlessly and ran the ball an additional 50 yards to bring Penn State within three.

The catch was the first of the redshirt freshman’s career.

“It got our offense going, on top of it, just to see [Irvin] get his first catch, and for him to break a tackle and go the distance,” McSorely said after the game. “That’s the kind of guy he is, and he feeds off of that confidence and that success.”

The success for Penn

State’s passing of fense didn’t end there.

Minnesota was forced to punt after three plays following the Charles touchdown, and Penn State picked up right where they left off.

McSorely’s first pass on the new drive was a 36-yard throw to wide receiver Chris Godwin that put Penn State at Minnesota’s 6-yard line.

The Nittany Lions tied the game on a field goal, and after forcing Minnesota out six plays later, they continued to make big plays.

Wide receiver Mike Gesicki beat Minnesota cornerback Jalen Myrick in one-onone coverage and was wide open when McSorely aired a 53-yard pass to him. Myrick

caught up to Gesicki before the end zone and tackled him at the 6-yard line.

Penn State took the lead on a rushing touchdown from McSorely two plays later. “[Trace’s] ability to move in a pocket, as well as scramble and run the ball is a big part of who he is as a player,” Godwin said after the game.

“We are glad to have him and we are glad that he has that ability because it helps us out.”

McSorely finished with 172 passing yards in the third quarter alone.

Claeys had a short response when asked if McSorely had great playmaking in Saturday’s game.

“Yes.”

Gophers win first series on home ice

Seven players scored goals in the team’s seasonopening weekend.

BY TOMMY SLETTEN bhelfand@mndaily.com

The No. 2 Minnesota women’s hockey team (20) swept Lindenwood (02) in its season-opening home stand.

The Gophers had seven dif ferent players score on the weekend, even after altering line combinations in both games.

“Once you find combinations for one line, then it limits your options for the next,” head coach Brad Frost told reporters Saturday. “We don’t have Hannah [Brandt], and we don’t have [Amanda Kessel], but we have a multitude of for wards that are talented, so a lot of people are getting dif ferent oppor tunities.”

Minnesota took control of Friday’s game in the second period after both teams were knotted 0-0 fol-

lowing the first period.

It did not take long for the Gophers to change the pace as sophomore for ward Sarah Potomak scored just 1:28 in the second period, assisted by senior for ward and assistant captain Dani Cameranesi.

“I think we just needed to have the mindset that [goals] were going to come,” Cameranesi said.

“We came into the locker room and had a few words with the coaches and put things together.”

Junior for ward Cara Piazza followed with a closerange goal at the 12:43 mark, off of an assist from redshirt senior defenseman Lee Stecklein. Senior defenseman Megan Wolfe netted another with just 16 seconds remaining in the period.

The Gophers goals went unanswered for a 3-0 final score and Minnesota’s first victor y of the season.

Redshir t junior goalie Sidney Peters had her first shutout of the season and tallied 10 saves.

Minnesota str uck first on a rebound goal by junior for ward Caitlin Reilly — just over five minutes into the game.

Lindenwood bounced back at the 10:41 mark to tie the score 1-1 heading into the second period.

Freshman for ward Lindsey Agnew scored her first collegiate goal less than two minutes into the second period off an assist

from Cameranesi to regain Minnesota’s lead and give the team a chance to rally.

The Gophers star ted a five-on-three power play five minutes into the period, and Wolfe capitalized with a goal, her second of the weekend.

Lindenwood tried to resurge and narrowed Minnesota’s lead to one goal by the end of the second period, but Minnesota came out strong in the third.

Cameranesi scored two

goals in the final period, one less than a minute in, and freshman for ward Alex Woken netted her first collegiate goal less than two minutes after the star t of the period to help the Gophers cr uise to a 6-3 victor y and weekend sweep.

Minnesota’s r ookies proved themselves early on. Agnew finished the weekend with one goal while Woken finished her first career games with a goal and an assist.

Minnesota sweeps road matches The Gophers didn’t lose a set in games at Indiana and Purdue University.

BY TOMMY SLETTEN tsletten@mndaily.com

Minnesota had success as it hit the road for the first time in its Big Ten Season.

The Gophers defeated Indiana and No. 14 Purdue in two match sweeps on Friday and Sunday to stay undefeated in the Big Ten through four matches.

“I thought we were clean in all phases of the game,” head coach Hugh McCutcheonsaid. “Sam kept great rhythm. Our hitters hit with good range and discipline.

Nice to see our team grow and evolve over the course of this Big Ten season.”

No. 2 Minnesota (12-1, 4-0 Big Ten) won its first match against Indiana (12-5, 1-3 Big Ten) Friday with a clean 3-0 sweep.

The Hoosiers and Go-

phers star ted out evenly matched until Minnesota took a 9-6 lead in the first set.

The team wore down Indiana and capitalized on backto-back Hoosier attack errors to win the set 25-17.

The Gophers continued to dominate offensively in the second set where they hit a match-high .545 and committed only two attack errors on their way to a 25-15 victory.

Indiana clawed back in the third set and tied the score early at 12-12, but Minnesota gained a two-point lead that would give the Gophers an advantage through the set to lead to a 25-17 win and match sweep.

Senior middle blocker Hannah Tapp led all players with 11 kills, while junior middle blocker Molly Lohman had nine and hit an unblemished 1.00 clip.

Junior libero Dalianliz Rosado led Minnesota on the serve with three aces.

Sophomore setter Samantha Seliger-Swenson and senior middle blocker Paige Tapp both contributed two.

The Gophers faced a ranked opponent on Sunday when No. 14 Purdue (11-4, 1-3 Big Ten) looked to defend its home court.

The Boilermakers managed to hit at a .406 clip in the first set, but the Gophers bested the home team with a .531 mark of their own to lead Minnesota to a 25-18 victory.

The two teams played a steady back-and-for th through ten points, but Minnesota broke through to take a lasting lead. A Wilhite ace and Hannah Tapp kill ended the set in the Gophers’ favor with another 2518 score.

Minnesota saw its closest set of the weekend in the third, beating Purdue by a slim 25-23 margin.

The set was close throughout and the Boilermakers threatened a match sweep when they took a 23-22 lead.

Minnesota capitalized off a timeout and two Boilermaker ball handling errors. A final kill from Wilhite sealed the sweep with a third set victory.

Hannah Tapp finished second on the squad with ten kills, followed by freshman outside hitter Alexis Hart with 9.

Senior outside hitter Sarah Wilhite led all players with 19 kills and hit a solid .621 to lead her team to victory. She also had five digs and a service ace.

“We had really consistent energy, and we were in control of first contact, as well as serving and serve receive,” Wilhite said. “We definitely won both matches in our serve and serve receive.”

ADMINISTRATION

Coyle talks J Robinson, Athletes Village Coyle u from Page 1

and started in early June, and it’s been great to get to the fall sports … See the success of our teams, because we really need to be a part of that.

MD: At your opening press conference, you said that you hoped to create a culture of accountability.

Do you believe you’ve done that so far?

MC: I think it’s hard to do it in four months. I tell people I’ve been very fortunate to go out and talk to a lot of different groups, internally and externally. I think that’s awesome, because it gives me a chance to talk about all the great things that are going on here. The academic success that we have with our student-athletes, the athletic success we had this past year.

At the same time, it’s been a difficult part of my job because we’ll be defined by our actions, and I think you have accountability by your actions … I kind of use the phrase “trust with verification.” People trust me right now, right?

I’m new, they hear what I’m saying and they want to make sure we’re doing things the right way all the time. That we’re low ego, high output — that we commit to all of our

student-athletes. But ultimately, our actions will define us.

I’m looking forward to when we get a few more months into this, where people will see that we walk the talk. What we talk about is who we are and what we want to be.

MD: Going of f that, do you believe you’ve accomplished what you’ve wanted to in your first 100 days?

MC: Yeah. I think a big thing was for me to get here and listen. I talked a lot about that at the opening press conference. I wanted to make sure I listened to people. I’ve had a chance to meet with each one of our head coaches.

I’ve met with our senior staff and our department heads in each one of the departments to kind of get a feel of where we’re at as the department. I am so grateful for the reception I’ve received from the staff, from the coaches, from the students, so I’m pleased with that, but there’s a lot of work we need to do to continue to move forward and get to where we all want to get to.

MD: What do you think is going to be the most beneficial part of the Athletes Village project?

MC: I think the biggest thing Athletes Village does is,

for the past 18 to 24 months, there’s been a lot of talk nationally about the impact on the student-athlete experience. I think there’s no question Athletes Village will have a huge impact on all 700 student-athletes. We have 25 sports, 700 student-athletes.

They’ll all be able to use that facility, whether it be our leadership center, whether it be our training table [or] new training facility ... I think it’ll have a huge impact on what we call the student-athlete development side on what we do. Again, I think that’s going to be an important piece for us as we continue to move forward and continue to compete at a high level in the Big Ten. MD: One of your biggest moves so far has been the termination of J Robinson. Why did you feel the time was now?

MC: As I mentioned when we were going through that process, I’ve known J a long time, since 2001. There were serious allegations made against the program, and I think it was important for us to take our time to gather the information, working with the Minneapolis Police as well as working with the Office of General Counsel, who did that report, so once we had gathered all that information,

we made the decision. And again, we released the police report. That’s public, and people can see why we made the decision we made.

MD: Did you happen to read the Minnesota Daily article about the athletic department knowing of drug problems within the wrestling team back in December? Do you have any comment?

MC: I did not have a chance to see the article. I got here in May, so I’m not dodging the question, but I can tell you again that we made the police report public and our investigation public, what we found, and we stand by that decision.

MD: On Thursday, men’s hockey head coach Don Lucia said he hopes to sign his contract extension soon. Do you have any update on that?

MC: As I shared when I got here, I don’t mean to keep going back to my initial press conference, but we talked about sitting down with each head coach, and I’ve had a chance to sit down with [Lucia} and all of our head coaches, and we won’t comment on contracts and where they’re at, but again, we’ve had positive conversations,

and we’ve won five straight [hockey] conference championships. We were just picked this week by the coaches to repeat again, and I look forward to watching Don and his team compete and try to defend that Big Ten conference championship as well as advancing far in the NCAA tournament and competing for Frozen Fours. We’re at a sport where we can compete at a high level, and I’m excited to watch that program compete.

MD: How do you feel about the state of the men’s basketball team?

MC: I’ve enjoyed getting to know [head coach Richard Pitino]. I give coach Pitino a lot of credit. When I started, I started with the Gopher Road Trip right away, and Richard, when he talked to our fans across the state, he took responsibility for last year. I think he’s grown a lot — he’s learned a lot from last year. I think that team has learned a lot. I can tell you they worked incredibly hard over the summer, bringing in speakers to talk to the team about accountability, about how to be good leaders, how to do things the right way, academically, athletically, socially. Those were all things Richard did on his own, and I really compliment him. I

know they’re working hard.

I always go down to this: Nobody wants to win more than coach Pitinio and the kids on that team. I feel it’s my job — it’s our department’s job — to do everything we can to support him and the team as they try to compete at that high level.

MD: Any future plans, anything on the horizon you feel is worth sharing?

MC: I think the biggest thing is our fall sports are off to such a great start. Obviously our volleyball team is ranked second in the country, women’s soccer is ranked eighth in the country, women’s hockey is up [Friday] — they’re ranked second in the country, men’s hockey, so there’s so many good things going on athletically, but I think sometimes we lose sight of all the academic success. It’s great when we can tell people that we’re the highest-rated public institution with respect to student-athlete academic performance. That’s a big thing we need [to] talk about. The thing we need to share, and again, we’re excited about those things and continuing to build on that great foundation in our department.

No. 8 Minnesota suffered its first defeat in conference play against Wisconsin in overtime Saturday.

Neither team was able to score in regulation as they headed to over time level at 0-0.

As the first over time period was nearing an end, freshman for ward Dani Rhodes conver ted a loose ball off a set piece to steal the victor y for the Badgers.

“Set pieces are always dif ficult, right? Because the ball is bouncing around, and it’s about grit and organization,” said associate head coach Kr ystle Seidel. “We struggled on the organizational piece of it, and we didn’t see a kid coming, and she put it in the back of the net, and that’s how this game goes. Against the run of play, a set piece can do it for you.”

The Minnesota women’s cross country team placed 10th at the Joe Piane Notre Dame Invitational at Burke Golf Course in South Bend, Indiana Friday afternoon.

The team brought 12 runners to the invitational to race against some tough competition, including six nationally ranked teams. All Minnesota runners posted career-best 5K times.

“It was definitely a solid day. I think we beat some good teams and did some good things overall,” head coach Sarah Hopkins said.

“It’s always good when people run their fastest 5Ks they’ve ever run, but we’re still chasing that perfect team race.”

Redshirt junior Madeline Strandemo was the leading runner in the Women’s Blue Division 5K for the team, finishing 18th (16:45.7). She was followed by true freshmen Bethany Hasz (17:01.3) and Megan Hasz (17:01.5) in 40th and 42nd, respectively — finishing only 0.2 seconds apart.

“I think the team as a whole did a good job,” redshirt junior Tess Wasowicz said. “We definitely improved from our Griak race last week, and I think looking forward it will improve even more.”

No. 1 Providence finished first on the day, while North Carolina State and Eastern Michigan finished second and third, respectively.

The team had a change in scenery at the Notre Dame Invitational, running on a very flat course as opposed to the home Les Bolstad Course. Hopkins described the scenery at Burke Golf Course as one of the hardest courses in the nation.

“The course in Notre

Dame was a really fast course,” Hopkins said.

“I think [running on our course] helps us be a little bit tougher and makes the flat courses fun, but I also think we have to remember that we do have to race a little bit differently [on flatter courses].”

Minnesota also had four runners in the open 5K. Freshman Elyse Prescott shaved 40 seconds off her best time and finished second (17:34.4). Redshirt junior Tess Wasowicz (17:53.9) and redshirt sophomore Molly Eastman (18:06.1) followed in 11th and 13th, respectively.

“I think [my race] was definitely an improvement, my best race this season,” Wasowicz said. “I think that course definitely played to my strengths, and I think there’s definitely a lot of room to grow, especially going into Wisconsin here in a couple weeks.”

The other half of the Minnesota women’s cross countr y team competed in the Blugold Invitational in Eau Claire, Wisconsin on Friday.

Redshirt junior Ellen Snyder took first with a career-best time (22:34.3) to give the team an overall win.

The Gophers will take this week off to train for the Wisconsin Invitational on Oct. 14 and the Tori Neubauer Invitational on Oct. 15.

“We’ll be starting to get a little more speed, and I think that will set us up really well,” Hopkins said. “The hope for the next phase here is just to get comfortable with a little bit fasterthan-race-pace type work.”

‘Build the Wall’ mural incites protest Protest u from Page 1

for University of Minnesota student groups since the mid-90s, said Assistant Director of Student Union and Activities Erik Dussault. The Washington Avenue Bridge underwent a six-week, $200,000 short-term rennovation this summer, where broken, crumbling panels were replaced and new security cameras were installed, said Bill Paulus, interim vice president of University Facilities Management.

At Saturday’s protest, many of the attendees shared stories and expressed their support for those affected by the perceived hate speech.

Valerie Sanchez, sociology sophomore and Latina student whose father immigrated to America, said at the protest that the mural “hits close to home.”

The event was organized by immigrant student advocacy group Navigate MN after multiple students contacted them.

Prior to the event, Emilia Avalos, executive director for the organization, said she hopes the University takes a stand against the mural.

“This is free speech, and we are completely in agreement with that, but when the speech marginalizes other people and builds hate and hateful actions against other people, that’s when you have to draw the line,” she said.

Never theless, University President Eric Kaler sent out a schoolwide email shortly before the protest started.

He acknowledged in the email that students have found the phrase offensive, but he condemned the vandalization of the painting and said the campus supports all types of free speech.

“The University of Minnesota supports a campus climate that welcomes all members of our community and our values of equity and diversity, but that also ensures the free flow of ideas, even those that are offensive

to some,” Kaler said. “We encourage all who find some protected speech distasteful or offensive to engage in more protected speech.”

Still, many who attended the protest echoed Avalos’ statements about the limits of free speech and criticized Kaler’s response to the painting.

“I just hate how people are hating on other people who weren’t born here,” said Natasha Kataeva, a University biology graduate who immigrated to the United States. “I think the fact that it was vandalized is wrong because of freedom of speech, but at the same time, I’m not really too upset about the vandalism.”

In a prepared Facebook statement Saturday night, College Republicans denounced the accusations of racism and anti-immigrant sentiment, criticizing those who vandalized the mural.

“We understand that some students may disagree with this policy decision,” said Madison Faupel, the group’s president, in the statement. “However, free speech is at the center of a functioning democracy, and the actions taken against our panels run contrary to free speech.”

Catherine Squires, communications professor and director of the Race, Indigeneity, Gender and Sexuality Studies Initiative, said at the event that it is important for faculty members to participate in these types of discussions, “especially faculty of color — many of us have been through these sorts of situations when we were students.”

Heather C. Lou, assistant director of the Multicultural Center for Academic Excellence, said on Facebook that she and other University staff members would orga-

Editorials & Opinions COLUMN

Well, someone will win the presidency It’s OK to unplug from the lunacy of this year’s election, but it’s not OK to be uniformed.

W

e live in tempestuous times, or so I’m told. I deleted my Facebook, so it’s sometimes hard to tell. But I’ve heard from my social-media-stalwar t friends that there’s quite a loony election going on this year.

And ever yone — except the person I’m discussing politics with at that moment — is completely out of touch with “the issues.” And boy, there are a lot of issues.

“Must be nice,” I thought.

So I unplugged myself from this year’s presidential election machine. As stated above, I deleted my Facebook account, which has done wonders to keep me in a state of blissful ignorance: My face is clearing up, my rash is going away and I’m no longer getting memes of debatable dankness peddled on my newsfeed on a daily basis.

I also chose not to watch the presidential debate in any of its forms — the initial televised debate, the commentar y on social media, Buzzfeed’s aggregation of the commentar y on social media and especially the tepid political satire from Saturday Night Live, South Park

CHANCE WELLNITZ columnist

and the like. If I were in your position, I’d probably avoid reading this column, too — because the only thing worse to me than someone’s earnest thoughts on this year’s election is some asshole who thinks he’s above it.

But before you accuse me of being a Ber nie Bro who’s just too stubbor n to vote for Hillar y Clinton, let me just say that you’re correct. Mostly.

For a while, I followed the common white, suburban, middle-class ideological trajector y. I was raised by conservative parents only to go of f to college and vote for a Democrat. Then, after taking several cultural studies courses, I wound up suppor ting a socialist. But now in this election, I find myself prematurely disillusioned with a political system from which I’ve only ever benefitted.

Perhaps living a comfor tably white, middle-class life for the past 22 years has given me an unrealistic

perception of just how many things can go to shit with the wrong person in charge. I don’t want to discount all the work my family did to give me this life, but I’ve been cognizant of two ver y dif ferent presidencies and the worst recession since the Great Depression.

All in all, my privileged existence has remained largely the same.

People with a similar background to me will likely benefit regardless of the outcome this November or their lives will continue largely unchanged. If there are some setbacks, they’ll more likely be slight inconveniences than legitimate grievances, such as settling for a slightly lesser cut at Outback Steakhouse. But my ability to look at this election with indif ference is not just luxur y, it’s also selfish and irresponsible.

I stand by saying it’s all right to occasionally unplug from the lunacy of this year’s 24/7 election coverage, but it’s not okay choosing to be uninformed.

Educate yourself. Go out and volunteer in your community, talk with your family and friends and vote for the candidate you feel best ser ves your needs.

DAILY DISCUSSION A vandalism on our humanity President Eric Kaler has responded to the “Build the Wall” panel with the argument that “free speech” is allowed by all, “even those that are of fensive to some.”

Through his response to the University, President Kaler has decided to shift the focus away from the rhetoric spilled by the student group College Republicans.

He instead chose to focus on the actions of students who painted over this message. This is unacceptable. The institutionalized racism that exists on the University of Minnesota campus is not limited to this event. It has been shown time and time again through the lack of funds not only for ethnic studies depar tments but also for student cultural groups, and the lack of support on campus for students of color. He does not care about our safety.

He does not care about the Latinx population, nor does he care about the other groups who have been attacked by Trump who are being told that our lives here on campus and in the United States don’t matter and that we do not belong in the U.S. The statement “Build the Wall” goes far beyond simply being “of fensive.”

There is a long histor y of colonization and white supremacy that goes into statements like “Build the Wall.” For many of the immigrants that come here from Latin America and all over the world, the choice between staying in their respective countries or immigrating to the United States is choosing between violence and pover ty in their countr y or facing constant oppression and a lack of opportunities here. Thousands have died on their journey to the U.S. Often the countries immigrants and refugees flee from were damaged in part by tactics the U.S. took against them, whether it be bombing, supporting coups or preventing their economy from growing. Undocumented people are held for months, even years, in detention centers that mimic prisons before being depor ted. People like Trump praise inhumane deportation tactics, and people like Kaler allow this to happen by protecting this rhetoric under the guise of “free speech.”

Kaler enjoys tokenizing the students of color on campus, praising the University on its “diversity.” Yet, in all matters that affect us as students of color, he chooses to instead protect those who make us feel afraid and unwelcome. Only last week, Kaler visited Cof fman Memorial Union’s second floor in a lackluster attempt to “connect” with student groups. Instead of using this visit to connect with the cultural center, it was used as a photo opportunity. This visit was insincere, as there was a photographer documenting the entire exchange. President Kaler used this space for personal gain in order to promote the University agenda of “diversity and inclusion.” If this were the case, the discussion should have centered on how to better provide for students of color on campus. If Kaler truly believes in understanding us, the first thing he should do is listen to our anger and sadness over statements like “Build the Wall.”

EDITORIAL Amid bigotry, we need to support humanity

O

n Friday a University of Minnesota student group, College Republicans, painted a panel on the Washington Avenue Bridge that not only extolled their support of Donald Trump’s bid for president, but also singled out the young conservatives’ specific backing of perhaps Trump’s most controversial proposal: “Build the Wall.”

The phrase “Build the Wall” has often been associated with anti-Latinx, antiimmigrant sentiments. This year, various schools found their students hurling these chants as insults to various Latinx students — a rhetoric that threatens the safety and inclusion of Latinx communities on campus.

In an email sent to University students and staff, President Eric Kaler condemned the panel’s subsequent vandalism that left the original message covered with the phrase “End White Supremacy.” Some groups like La Raza — among others — have commented that President Kaler’s comments are unacceptable and perpetuate endemic, structural racism on campus.

The views of La Raza and other students of color should be given heed. This community has been specifically targeted, and not only in a political sense. Their ver y personhood has been delegitimized by the policies put forth by Trump during his campaign.

Tr ump has routinely treated Latinx people and other immigrants as an enemy and as an insidious element within America’s body politic; and by doing so he has implicitly authorized violence against a community that already faces a long history of oppression.

“In choosing to slather their panel with “Build the Wall,” our school’s pre-eminent group of Republicans has spotlighted bigotry ‑‑ masked in party politics.”

COLUMN

New Dinky mascot falls short The business district’s new advertising strategy won’t help draw in more customers.

W

ith the introduction of the new Dinkytown mascot — an elephant aptly named “Dinky” — I think it is pertinent to discuss why the Dinkytown Business Alliance (DBA) thinks this will be the hot new advertising scheme to bring patrons to the area.

The goal of this campaign is to attract alumni and Twin Cities folk into Dinkytown, creating a more diverse base of customers.

But why does the DBA think that a mascot, especially an elephant, will draw in more business?

Giving Dinkytown its own mascot and tr ying to differentiate it from the University isn’t an effective strategy. Dinkytown and University of Minnesota are attached at the hip, and students are the main source of business for many these restaurants. It would be wonderful to see some new faces, but who would want to stroll into what is basically considered a part of the campus if they aren’t students themselves?

Opting for a mascot who can’t hold a

KAYLEE ANDERSON columnist

candle to Goldy the Gopher certainly isn’t going to help things, especially if the goal is to cater toward alumni. If the DBA wants graduates to come back to Dinkytown, they will want to be reminded of the University’s rodent pal, not confronted by a clumsy, unknown elephant.

This ad campaign seems like something that would appeal more to students than any other demographic, especially since par t of the promotional video consists of the mascot pedaling a ride-share bike with its back two legs dragging behind it. With that in mind, I think it would be in Dinkytown’s best interest to focus on students — and the business that they bring — rather than outside sources. With more University attendees living in the area, it would be a shame to shift focus elsewhere and lose sight of the customers that are right in front of them.

Terry Scott Niebeling, University student

In choosing to slather their panel with “Build the Wall,” our school’s preeminent group of Republicans has spotlighted bigotry — masked in party politics — and has condoned an erasure of their American citizenry.

But, much to our chagrin, we live in a community that protects their speech.

Can we find logic in a policy that protects words that blatantly dehumanize vast swaths of America’s population? No. Yes, the University is a public institution that ought to let all the voices of its students be heard, but it is also an institution’s duty to ensure its students feel safe, and Kaler’s response failed to provide relief for the Latinx community. Administrators must be held accountable when a segment of the student body feels denigrated by forceful speech.

They must take a defiant stand against perceived hate. Yes, speech is valuable, but humanity is too.

So, if we are both confined and liberated by our freedom of speech, then we are presented with an opportunity to let our languages of love and empathy coalesce. Hate is only stoked by further provocation.

On Saturday, students of all gender identities, creeds and ethnicities did just that — they joined together on the Washington Avenue Bridge to combat the hateful tide with conversation, performance art and a sharing of personal histories. Speech that ‘listens’ and provokes rappor t has always proven more radical and more powerful.

DR. DATE Dear Dr. Date,

My love life has really caused some problems between my best friend and me.

We have both been seeing guys on and off. It seems like whenever I am dating someone, she isn’t and vice versa.

She was dating a guy named Chad, who didn’t seem to like me very much.

He gave off a hostile vibe whenever I tried to hang out with my friend. I don’t know why, but it really hindered the amount of time my friend and I spend together.

Now, she broke up with Chad, but I’m dating this great guy. She is pissed at me that I never spend any time with her because I am usually with my SO. It’s exactly what she did to me though. Any tips?

Please help,

—Cold Shoulder

Dear Cold,

It seems like you and your friend are in a real jam. It looks like you fell victim to a Chad, as so many of us have. In this particular case though, it sounds like you are both at fault.

You both need to realize that as you get older, making time to be with friends gets more difficult. You are wasting that valuable time by being mad at each other.

As long as neither of you are cancelling plans last minute, you shouldn’t be mad at someone for not making plans. If you are truly good friends, value the time that you have.

To fix this one, I’m recommending the good old double date: Bowling, mini golf, dinner and a movie, underwater basket weaving classes — all the normal nights out will be the shot in the arm you four need. Now that you have a guy in the picture, get together with a guy she likes

and break the ice. Hopefully his name isn’t Chad, though.

—Dr. Date

Dear Dr. Date,

There’s a mega hottie that I am crushing on. I’m talking seven-supernovascollapsing-into-a-singularity-that-wouldobliterate-any-matter-that-existed-inthis-hypothetical-multiverse level of crushing.

There’s a catch though: we work together.

I have seen so many friends who date someone at work, only to break up a few months later.

colleague is, uh, interesting.

Never theless, I don’t think that it is a very good idea to date someo n e a t w o r k . Yo u a l r e a d y m e n tioned the reasons for why it is a bad idea.

Imagine the walk of shame coming into work ever y morning afte r b r e a k i n g u p a n d s e e i n g t h a t person.

It reminds me of a mistake that I made once when I was younger.

I was dating a co-worker and everything was going great.

We were falling deeper in love each day. He knew my favorite candle scent and what my favorite Care Bear was. I really thought that he was going to be the person that I spent the rest of my life with.

Then he died.

So, don’t date coworkers.

Hurricane Matthew threatens Caribbean

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

POR T-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — An extremely dangerous Hurricane Matthew moved slowly over the Caribbean on Sunday, following a track that authorities warned could trigger devastating floods in par ts of Haiti.

The powerful Categor y 4 hurricane had winds of 145 mph (230 kph) on Sunday evening. Its center was expected to pass to the east of Jamaica and then cross over or be very close to the southwestern tip of Haiti late Monday before reaching Cuba on Tuesday, the U.S. National Hur ricane Center in Miami said.

A hur ricane war ning was in ef fect for Jamaica, Cuba and Haiti. Rain was already falling on Jamaica, but forecasters said the southern Haitian countr yside around Jeremie and

Les Cayes could see the worst of the rains and punishing winds.

“Wherever that center passes close to would see the worst winds and that’s what’s projected to happen for the western tip of Haiti,” said John Cangilosi, a hurricane specialist at the U.S. center. “There is a big concer n for rains there and also a big concern for storm surge.”

Matthew is one of the most powerful Atlantic hurricanes in recent histor y and briefly reached the top classification, Categor y 5, becoming the strongest hurricane in the region since Felix in 2007. The hurricane center said the storm appeared to be on track to pass east of Florida through the Bahamas, but it was too soon to predict with certainty whether it would reach the U.S. coast.

Of ficials with Haiti’s

civil protection agency said there were roughly 1,300 emergency shelters across the country, enough to hold up to 340,000 people. Authorities broadcast war nings over the radio telling people to swiftly heed evacuation warnings, tr ying to counter a common tendency for people to tr y to stay in their homes to protect them during natural disasters.

In a Sunday address carried on state radio, interim President Jocelerme Priver t urged Haitians to listen closely to the warnings of of ficials and be ready to move. “To those people living in houses that could collapse, it’s necessar y that you leave these houses to take refuge in schools and churches,” he said.

Te a m s o f c i v i l p r o tection of ficials walked the streets of Les Cayes

and other areas urging residents to secure their homes, prepare emergency kits and warn their neighbors. They also evacuated people from some outlying islands. Many Haitians appeared unaware of the looming hurricane.

“No, I haven’t heard anything about a bad storm coming here,” farmer Jean-Ber nar d Mede said with a concer ned expression as he took a break from walking three cows along a dir t track outside the flood-prone town of Leogane. “I’ll do what I can for my animals and my family.”

Forecasters said the slow-moving hurricane was expected to dump 15 to 25 inches (40 to 60 centimeters) of rain over southern Haiti, with a few places getting as much as 40 inches (100 centimeters).

The impoverished countr y is par ticularly vulnerable to devastating floods because of the steep terrain, with hillsides and mountains often devoid of trees that hold back water because they have been cut down to make charcoal for cooking fires. Many Haitians live in flimsy houses that are not able to withstand a serious storm, typically built of scraps of wood with corrugated metal roofs.

As of 8 p.m. EDT (2400 GMT), the storm was centered about 335 miles (540 kilometers) south-southwest of Haiti’s capital of Port-au-Prince. It was moving northwest at 5 mph (7 kph).

A hurricane watch was posted for the southeaster n Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands. A tropical storm warning was in ef fect for par ts of the Do-

minican Republic, where authorities began mandatory evacuations of areas at risk for flooding.

The hur ricane earlier had been projected to be closer to Jamaica, but still was a danger to the island.

“The center of the system is looking more likely that it will pass to the east of Jamaica but it won’t miss it by that much, so they are still going to see impacts,” Cangilosi said. “The impacts are maybe going to be a little lower there than they would be in Haiti and eastern Cuba.”

After passing Jamaica and Haiti, Matthew was projected to reach Cuba.

NJ Transit had 150 accidents in 5 years

HOBOKEN, N.J. — New Jersey Transit trains have been involved in more than 150 accidents that caused more than $4.8 million in damage to tracks or equipment since 2011, and the commuter rail has paid more than $500,000 to settle safety violations, according to federal data.

Federal Railroad Administration information shows that NJ Transit settled 183 safety violations — ranging from employee drug and alcohol use to violations of railroad operating rules or practices — since Jan. 1, 2011. The settlement payments include about $70,000 for more than a dozen safety violations in 2014 and 2015.

Statistics for the current year are not yet available.

Months before Thursday’s deadly commuter train crash in Hoboken, New Jersey, federal rail officials found dozens of violations during an audit focusing on NJ Transit’s safety and operations, a U.S. official confirmed Saturday.

The of ficial, who was familiar with the railroad administration audit, spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the official wasn’t authorized to speak publicly about an ongoing investigation.

The railroad administration began an audit in June after noticing an uptick in rail incidents and found “dozens of safety violations” that needed to be fixed immediately, the official said.

The commuter rail agency was fined as a result of the audit, the official said, adding that federal agencies are continuing to work with the railroad to ensure compliance with federal rail safety guidelines.

There were 25 accidents in 2015 and 10 in the first seven months of 2016, but none caused injuries or death, federal data showed. Most of the incidents occurred at low speeds and more than half were in train yards.

On Thursday, a commuter train smashed through a steel-and-concrete bumper and hurtled into the station’s waiting area, killing a woman on the platform and injuring more than 100 other people.

The train’s engineer, Thomas Gallagher, who was among those injured in the crash, has been interviewed by the National Transportation Safety Board, officials said, but the agency provided no further details about the interview in a news release Saturday.

During an appearance on “Fox News Sunday,” Gov. Chris Christie says it’s still not clear why the train was traveling so fast.

The Republican gover nor said there were several possible reasons, such as engineer er ror, a medical emergency or a mechanical failure. But he said people should let the National Transpor tation Safety Board “do their work.”
