Nursing moms struggle to find lactation areas on campus Twenty designated lactation pods exist on campus, but some moms have raised concerns over access.

BY RILYN EISCHENS reischens@mndaily.com

For women who choose to breastfeed, finding an adequate place to pump on campus only adds to an already tense experience.

While University of Minnesota advocates have worked for years to add more lactation rooms on campus, some nursing mothers still struggle to find convenient spaces to use breast pumps, which can discourage women from breastfeeding or even delay their return to the University.

Lactation spaces Since women don’t typically bring babies to campus, finding spaces to use breast pumps is the biggest problem for many nursing mothers, said Laura Duckett, associate professor in the University’s School of Nursing and member of the school’s Lactation Advocacy Committee and the Minnesota Breastfeeding Coalition’s local chapter.

When nursing mothers retur n to work, they must pump to maintain an

U lab seeks solution for pesky PFCs Following new EPA guidelines, U scientists hope to better separate harmful chemicals from water.

BY KEATON SCHMITT kschmitt@mndaily.com

The safety of the water supply in some Minnesota towns is being scrutinized after new federal guidelines determined the water contained too much of a potentially cancerous chemical.

In May, the Environmental Protection Agency reduced the amount of Perfluorochemicals, or PFCs, allowed in drinking water after research showed they might cause negative health effects. Now, University of Minnesota researchers are looking for better ways to separate PFCs from water.

Even with the regulations keeping new PFCs from entering the water, there isn’t a good method to address those already present, said Matt Simcik, a University of Minnesota School of Public Health associate professor whose lab has searched for two years for a method of solidifying PFCs to make them more easier to remove.. “[PFCs were used in] tons and tons of u See SCIENCE Page 7

KICKIN’ IT

Kaler talks J Robinson, faculty union push President Kaler also discussed the M Health merger.

BY KEVIN BECKMAN kbeckman@mndaily.com

On his 60th birthday, University of Minnesota President Eric Kaler sat down with the Minnesota Daily for the school year’s first Kickin’ It. Kaler talked about former wrestling coach J Robinson, faculty unionization efforts and the changing topography of Stadium Village.

As the school year kicks of f, what do you think has been going well so far for the University?

I think the entering students … are off to a great start. The orienta-

tion and Welcome Week activities … provide them with a really wonderful opportunity … to get settled in and get off to a good start. I am disappointed again in the state situation. We do not have a bonding bill. That is harmful to the University. We need those resources for maintenance and constr uction.

Beyond that … the profile of the entering class is again, the highest it’s ever been. The percentage of students of color is the highest it’s ever been, ACT scores, et cetera — so a lot of positive directions.

STATE REPORT MOTHER’S LOVE FOR ABDUCTED MINNESOTA BOY ‘WILL NEVER DIE’ ST. JOSEPH, Minn. — People are gathered to remember an abducted Minnesota boy whose remains were found after a search of nearly three decades.

A public memorial service was being held Sunday for 11-year-old Jacob Wetterling at the College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph.

Jacob was kidnapped in 1989. His killer confessed this month and led authorities to Jacob’s remains.

The ser vice featured a boys’ choir, the reading of a Native American prayer and the playing of Jacob’s favorite song, “Listen” by folk singer Red Grammer.

Jacob’s mother, Patty Wetterling, told families of abducted children, “We won’t give up.” And she addressed Jacob: “Our love for you will never die.”

Mall shooting suspect Police: 5 shot, 1 dead after Illinois arrested multiple times campus party

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — One man was killed and four other people were wounded in a pair of shootings early Sunday, including one that happened on the University of Illinois campus.

Police believe the two shootings in the eastern Illinois city of Champaign may be related. They say the first apparently stemmed from an argument shortly after midnight at an apartment party on Green Street, the commercial heart of the campus.

“Our preliminar y investigation completely points to an argument taking place at the party and the argument spilled out into the street and that’s when a fight occurred,” Champaign police spokeswoman LaEisha Meaderds said, adding the reasons for the fight aren’t clear yet.

Shots were fired as the fight escalated, striking four people, she said.

One of those shot, 22-year-old George Korchev, was killed, Meaderds said. She said Korchev, who was from the Chicago suburb of Mundelein, wasn’t involved in the fight and wasn’t a University of Illinois student. He just happened to be walking by when the shots were fired.

The other three were taken to a hospital for treatment of what police called non-critical gunshot wounds.

Less than half an hour later, police received a report of another shooting a few blocks west of campus. Officers found a victim, who was taken to a hospital and treated for a non-critical wound.

Police are searching for a suspect or suspects in the shootings and for the driver of a vehicle that struck someone who was running away from the gunfire at the first scene. That person’s injuries were minor.

It isn’t clear how many people were at the party because many ran when the gunfire began, Meaderds said. Police are hoping to find and speak to as many as possible.

OAK HARBOR, Wash. — The 20-year-old man suspected of killing five people with a rifle at a Macy’s makeup counter had had a string of run-ins with the law in recent years, including charges he assaulted his stepfather.

As investigators tried to piece together information on Arcan Cetin, who was arrested Saturday evening after a nearly 24-hour manhunt, a picture emerged of a troubled young man. Court records show more than a halfdozen criminal cases in Island County alone, stretching back to 2013.

Authorities said the gunman in the attack at the Cascade Mall in Burlington opened fire in Macy’s cosmetics department Friday night, killing a man and four females ranging from a teenager to a senior citizen. The killer then fled.

Cetin said nothing and appeared “zombie-like” when he was taken into custody on a sidewalk some 30 miles away in Oak Harbor by a sherif f ’s of ficer who recognized him as the suspect in the rampage, authorities said. Cetin was arrested near the apar tment complex where he was believed to be living.

Cetin immigrated to the U.S. from Turkey and is a legal permanent resident, officials said.

As surrounding communities absorbed news of the arrest, critical questions remained, including the gunman’s motive. The FBI said early Saturday there was no indication the shooting was terrorism, but local authorities said later in the day that they were ruling nothing out.

On Sept. 17, a 20-year-old man stabbed and wounded 10 people at a Minnesota mall before being shot to death by an off-duty police officer. Authorities said they are investigating the attack by Dahir Ahmed Adan as a possible act of terrorism.

On Sunday, investigators searched Cetin’s vehicle and the apar tment complex and were seen car r ying boxes fr om a r ear, upstairs unit. The four-unit building was sur rounded with yellow police tape. Detectives would not say what they found.

Kaler discusses J Robinson, union push Kaler u from Page 1

After nine months of negotiations, a plan to merge the University’s Medical School, University of Minnesota Physicians and Fair view Health was put on hold in June when Fair view’s Board of Directors rejected the University’s final proposal. Regents called the merger their top priority. What will t h e a d m i n i s t r a t i o n ’s strategy be to have a more positive outcome when negotiations start in the future?

We’re in a little bit of a pause … We plan to continue to honor those relationships … but at the same time, it provides a little space for the University of Minnesota Physicians to engage in some strategic planning and consider what alternatives might be available. We are committed to continuing to work with Fair view, and I’m hopeful … we can find a path to reopen negations.

Athletic Director Mark Coyle assumed his new role this past summer, taking over a department that has been marred by controversy in recent years.

What are your thoughts on director Coyle’s first months in office?

I think he’s off to a terrific start … He’s had some difficult things to deal with, certainly — the controversy around the wrestling coach required some analysis and some action that I supported.

But he’s been out in the community … He’s been making friends and raising funds for Athletes’ Village and at the same time getting to know his coaches and his studentathletes …

This month, head Gopher wrestling coach J Robinson was fired for trying to internally handle the use and sale of Xanax

by members of the wrestling team. What concerns did that raise to you about the adherence to University policies by Athletic Department coaches?

We felt he wasn’t forthcoming enough with us and ultimately decided that we needed to separate … That process actually illustrates the fact that there are a lot of eyes and ears in Gopher Athletics … You don’t want to have to prove that a reporting system works in that way … but the fact that it did tells me that we’ve got a helpful structure in place.

What steps are being taken to ensure this sort of thing doesn’t happen on other teams, or in other areas of the Athletics Department?

We’ve got a lot of eyes and ears with trainers and coaches and academic advisers. I think the clear message from this to the coaching staff is that there are pretty dramatic consequences if you aren’t as forthcoming as you should be around areas of student-athlete behavior.

Chain restaurants and luxur y apartment complexes have been popping up all over Stadium Village in recent years, displacing many businesses that have been hallmarks of Stadium Village for decades, like Espresso Royale and the Big 10 Restaurant and Bar. How do you think these changes might affect the environment of the Twin Cities’ campus community?

I think it makes the environment a little bit more sterile in the sense that it’s more homogeneous and less individualistic. I had my last meal at the Village Wok a few weeks ago, and I had my first meal there in 1978. Those places have been an important part of our community for a long time. I hope that as the new spaces are developed … that some of those businesses can come back into that newer space and provide the same kind of food and opportunities …

Plans to build a new sports bubble and track and field facility, presented to the Board of Regents in September, involves demolishing the 115-yearold grain elevators that currently stand at the site.

There has been pushback from the surrounding communities about the demolition, saying the elevators are historic and should be preserved.

What is your response to the plan’s critics?

We’ve spent a good amount of effort tr ying to identify some adaptive reuse opportunities for those buildings, and we did not find any.

We are going to do some mitigation around documenting the facilities in photographs and providing some of the artifacts to the Mill City Museum. But, at the end of the day … they become an attractive nuisance. We have urban explorers that think climbing the fences and going into those buildings is a good past time. I don’t want to own a grain elevator that somebody died in. I think the best thing to be done for several reasons is to take them down.

Last week, the Minnesota Public Interest Research Group released records showing that nearly $515,000 in tuition and state money was used for legal fees to combat the union on the issue of what faculty positions could be included in the vote. Legislators and students alike were angered at the use of their money for legal fees. Were you aware that the legal fees were coming from tuition and state money?

The legal fees are not coming from tuition and state money. The legal fees were paid from an account that contains those monies. It’s a little bit like a checkbook. You write a check and then you reconcile where the funds should come from. Tuition or state money will not be used for those legal fees. They are paid from other sources of revenue for the institution.

EASTON GREEN, DAILY

University President Eric Kaler sits down with the Minnesota Daily to field questions on Friday in Morrill Hall.

When you say they come from the same account, how … do you know for a fact that it is not coming from either state money or tuition money if it’s all in one account?

You reconcile each item in the account as you review to close the books and then you assign money from an appropriate source to pay the appropriate bill.

What guarantees do students and taxpayers have that no taxpayer or student money will be used for legal fees in the future?

Our financials are audited.

And we’re just not going to do it. You can check the audited books and see if that’s true.

In September, you presented the Board of Regents with this year’s capital requests to the legislature, which totals around $245,000,000.

The state almost never fulfills the University’s full request, and there was disappointment over the

lack of a bonding bill this year. Legislators have said the University asks for too much and that its priorities shift. What steps will the University take in its efforts to get funding from the legislature for these projects and convey the message that the projects are necessary?

There are really two elements wrapped up in your question. One is the bonding bill where we list projects and try to get bonding money to do that … We ask all the time as our highest priority HEAPR funds …

Occasionally, some project will be able to jump the queue for one reason or another ... On the operating side … the three elements in this year’s ask are … to suppor t student success, to develop a MNDrive 2.0 around research and innovation and … to ask for help in dealing with the inflationary pressures … If we have that request fully funded, our intent is to not have to ask for a tuition increase for Minnesota residents, at least at the undergraduate

level and hopefully at the graduate level. The request is fulsome for sure, but historically, the percentage increase is not out of line with the percentage increase that the University has seen in years in which we have budget increases …

Is the Athletes’ Village project still projected to be completed on time and on budget?

I think we’re at about $94 million … towards $166 million project. My last briefing is that we are exactly on time in the construction cycle. I’m optimistic that we’ll reach the completion date … which I think is November 17.

Today is your birthday.

What are you planning on doing to celebrate?

I had a ver y nice lunch with some folks from my office and my family is going to take me out for dinner, so I’m looking for ward to it.

University consolidates leadership

After the retirement of key U leaders, Kaler creates the new senior VP position.

BY KEVIN BECKMAN kbeckman@mndaily.com

L a s t s u m m e r, V i c e President and Chief Financial Of ficer Richard Pfutzenreuter and V ice President for University Ser vices Pam Wheelock retired, taking with them decades of combined experience working for the University.

As the University searches for their replacements, University President Eric Kaler reorganized and consolidated the positions’ responsibilities.

Kaler said the two retirements of fered the oppor tunity to combine some of the University’s senior leadership spots and create a new position — the senior vice president for finance and operations — that will oversee the school’s financial functions as well as facilities management and human resources.

While sear ching for the new position, Kaler appointed Associate Vice President Mike Volna to interim CFO. Associate Vice President for Facilities Management Mike Ber thelsen was elected to lead University Ser vices in its interim period.

The new senior vice president will pick permanent replacements for the leaders of facilities, finance and the Office of Information Technology, Kaler said. Until then, Ber thelson, Volna and Ber nard Gulachek — interim vice president for OIT — will continue their roles.

“It’s an oppor tunity with interim leaders for the new person to rearrange as they want to,” Kaler said. “But … all three of those [interim] leaders have decades of experience at the University and are doing a really great job in filling those roles.”

The University established a search committee in April to fill the position and contracted the search firm Witt/Kief fer to source and recr uit applicants.

Kaler said the search committee has narrowed the list to three applicants, and he expects a final decision will be made soon.

A smooth transition Ber thelsen, who has worked for the University for 23 years, has ser ved in four dif fer ent r oles prior to being appointed as interim vice president, including financial and budget of ficer for the school’s facilities management of fice — the largest depar tment in University ser vices.

There, he oversaw land care, production and distribution of energy and maintenance of University buildings.

Ber thelsen said his years of experience at the school made the transition into his new role smoother, but the interim position encompassed many more responsibilities than his previous job.

“I knew the leaders.

I knew their organizations.

I knew about the programs already,” he said. “In this role, I just have to get to know all of the programs a little deeper.”

As interim vice president, Ber thelsen is responsible for overseeing all other components of University ser vices, including public safety, the University Police Depar tment, health and safety and auxiliar y ser vices such as the University Bookstore.

Ber thelsen also led discussions with the University’s Board of Regents about the school’s housing strategy and

answered Regents’ questions about the renovation options for Pioneer Hall.

“We’re glad to have an engaged board in what we do,” he said. “It gave me a chance to get to know a lot of them more, and pretty quickly.”

During the interim period, Berthelsen will work on the University’s sixyear capital plan and help negotiate a TCF Bank Stadium lease with the Minnesota United soccer team while their stadium is built in St. Paul.

“I star ted this interim r ole with a r eal strong foundational base of understanding about the University’s finance [and] mission,” he said.

As interim vice president, Volna has handled real estate transactions, capital requests to the legislature and the University’s debt strategies for projects such as the Bell Museum and the Athletes Village.

He also acts as the senior administrative representative to the Board of Regent’s Finance Committee.

“In this role, I’m kind of the thread that connects ever ything that goes through the finance committee,” he said. “So I really have to be on my toes.”

Volna, who repor ted to Pfutzenreuter for 14 years, said his and other finance members’ experience made the continuation of Pfutzenreuter’s work a seamless transition.

“When Fitz retired, he left behind a really, really strong team,” Volna said. “I’ve got to continue on with the flow like ever ybody else, but at some point I’m going to take an exit ramp, so I have to be mindful that I don’t change a lot of things.”

A city of the future in north Minn.

A University professor worked on futuristicminded city.

BY RAJU CHADUVULA rchaduvulaa@mndaily.com

A geodesic dome, atomic power and pretzelflavored beer cans were all figments of a University of Minnesota professor’s failed experimental city.

In the early 1960s, Athelstan Spilhaus — a worldrenowned scientist, futurist and dean of the Institute of Technology — began tinkering with the novel idea of creating a completely self-automated city, later to become the Minnesota Experimental City (MXC) project.

The MXC was conceived after Spilhaus visited the Seattle World’s Fair in 1962.

The project aimed to consciously re-create systems of city infrastructure and administration, said Sharon Moen, the author of a biography on the since-deceased scientist. “[The MXC] is an attempt to find out what kind of city can be built that will guarantee a decent life for those who live in it,” Spilhaus said, according to University records.

Moen said Spilhaus, who had connections in academia and with several media outlets, was able to garner support quickly for the project.

The MXC Authority, a board overseeing the project, included Spilhaus, Otto Silha — then publisher of the Minneapolis Star and the Minneapolis Tribune — and University architecture professor Walter Vivrett, among others.

W ithin a few years, $248,000 wor th of federal money had been pledged to support the MXC project’s construction.

Spilhaus left the University in 1967, but he remained outspoken in his critique of modern cities, likening them to organisms plagued by urban decay, poverty and pollution.

“I was particularly concerned with the problem of waste and pollution,” he said in an inter view to the Minneapolis Star and Tribune in 1967. Spilhaus conceptualized the MXC as a machine where replaceable sections of buildings could be easily dissembled and pollution could be managed

IMAGE COURTESY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA ARCHIVES

with a system of “air sewers” which would gather and recycle fumes.

“The essence of the experiment is that everything in the city must be recycled … what we need are more containers like ice cream cones … beer cans that taste like pretzels,” Spilhaus told the paper in 1967.

Ever ything in the city, from televisions to bank accounts, would be computerized and managed with a multi-purpose identification card, Spilhaus said. As for energy, an atomic power plant at the center of the city would provide electric energy and would also power the transit system — a network of six-passenger pods traveling on intricate track systems.

About 250,000 people would populate the futuristic city, Spilhaus said in newspaper articles. Ever y citizen of the MXC would have to undergo an application process, though Spilhaus told the Minneapolis Star and Tribune that selection commit tees would not take into account race or ethnicity when choosing applicants.

“With such a ‘mix’ of population … the concept of segregation, racial strife … and all other melancholy ills of our cities would die a natural and overdue death,” he said in the ar ticle. “Properly executed, the [MXC] would spare its people the festering cancer of slums and the almost equally distasteful sprawl of jerr ybuilt chronically troubled suburbs.”

Near the end of the 1960s, there was a growing clamor that the MXC and its modern technology

could intrude on the privacy of the city’s inhabitants.

“We can foresee problems involving individual rights and freedoms … but keep in mind that this will be a laborator y of continuous experiment,” Walter Vivrett said, according to University records.

By the early 1970s, the M X C A u tho ri ty fi n al l y landed upon a proposed location for the project — a piece of land near Swatara in Aitkin County, an area of wetlands and marshes.

However, accor ding to Moen, there was growing opposition from the residents of Swatara about the MXC. With the rise of environmental groups in the 70s, Moen said, and the creation of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the MXC faced fur ther

scr utiny. Environmental groups were keen on protecting the site chosen for the MXC, she said.

At a congressional committee meeting that would have allocated more resources to the experimental city, several residents protested by wearing red armbands that read “Stop MXC,” according University records.

In 1973, the MPCA voted eight to one to abandon the project. Later that year, federal funding for the project died.

Even after the MXC failed, Spilhaus kept pushing for experimental cities; later in his life, he dreamed of a city built beneath the sea, Moen said.

Moen recalls that Spilhaus was quoted to have said, “The future is where my concern lies.”

Non-tenure faculty backed by U community About 75 students and faculty turned out Friday at Northrop Plaza.

BY LAYNA DARLING ldarling@mndaily.com

Holding signs that read “connected through contingency” and “stronger together,” around 75 students and faculty members gathered outside Nor throp Auditorium on Friday to support the University’s non-tenured faculty.

The demonstration began with students walking out of their morning classes. At noon, students and faculty gathered at Nor throp Plaza to rally for better conditions for the University’s nontenured faculty such as teaching specialists and lecturers.

Planned and organized by the student coalition Differences Organized, the protest came days after a r uling by the Minnesota Bureau of Mediation Services, which will include non-tenure track staf f members in a faculty union vote at the University.

“Unions empower them to stand up,” event organizer and Ph.D. student Joanna Nunez. “There is strength in numbers.”

Global studies student Tori Dylla said she was at the rally to help give faculty more options.

“I think it is unfair that they have little to no job security,” Dylla said.

Kong Pha, a graduate

student studying American studies, said he thinks non-tenured faculty deser ve more stable jobs.

“I’ve always been interested in labor fair ness,” Pha said. “This is just another instance of injustice.”

The rally featured speakers from several slivers of the non-tenure faculty spectr um, including Ger man, Scandinavian, and Dutch lecturer William Banks.

“In spite of the fact that my classes are fully-enrolled, ever y Ma y I a m f i r ed , ” s a i d Banks, who has been a University faculty member for six semesters.

“I’m happy to be here to show students what it is like for many of their instructors.”

These mass-produced apartment buildings mask themselves under dif ferent names but house the same cookie-cutter furniture and amenities and use granite countertops to distract from lack of durability and Ikea-grade furniture.

With Big 10, Espresso Expose, Village Wok and a host of other Stadium Village businesses ousted for the purpose of erecting yet another high-rise, many residents are wondering why so many of these companies are eating up the community — and local businesses — around campus.

As it turns out, it’s relatively easy for these developers to draw in students who are eager to move away from dorm life. When my roommates and I began apar tment-hunting freshman year, the only options that seemed viable to us were these luxury apartments. They were

numerous, well-advertised and the closest to campus.

We leased an apartment in one of these monstrosities and it ended up regretfully.

While technically cheaper than living in the dorms, my roommates and I had to share rooms to cut costs, and the building owners continually overcharged us for repairs and ser vices. When it came time to renew our lease, the decision was unanimous — we had to leave or risk having our souls sucked away entirely.

One of the biggest problems these popup apartments pose is the fact that so many of them are close to campus — an area filled with young, naïve, inexperienced renters. Many students are lured into signing leases because of the promise of swimming pools and gyms, but few realize the financial implications of intricately worded leases.

The only way to find cheaper housing is to move further from campus which lengthens commutes and leaves students

dependent on public transit.

It would be beneficial to see the University help curb the trend of large, luxury developers taking over commercial spaces near campus. Many college students aren’t financially well off so having affordable housing would ensure that they live near campus.

In addition, the University could better promote the resources it provides for new renters — such as legal ser vices. In tandem, it’s important that these legal advocates provide students with the foresight to make educated decisions when choosing housing.

Actively educating students about their housing options could help limit the influence of corporations in areas near campus, allowing for more affordable housing and for the preservation of small businesses.

Housing is such an impor tant par t of student health — it should be a top priority for the University to champion affordable, accessible and amenable housing for all of its students.

Hopefully, with more proactive assistance from the University, we will be able to keep the campus a unique, diverse and financially feasible place to live.

GUEST COLUMN We are happy to introduce a brand new feature to the Minnesota Daily’s Editorials & Opinions page: The guest column.

Each paper will highlight the perspective of a dif ferent member of our community. Whether you’re the leader of a student group on campus — or a perceptive individual that has an engaging stor y wor th sharing — we’re looking for your voice.

The new guest column section will replace the content traditionally housed in “Daily Discussion” — readers’ comments from our website, which the Minnesota Daily’s editorial board decided was not cultivating a thoughtful, productive dialogue on issues affecting our campus community.

While we’ve always accepted letters to the editors from our readers, we hope this new section will serve a broader purpose.

If you’re a leader of a group on campus, you could use the space to pitch your group to perspective members; or iron out misconceptions some may have about the purpose of your organization. Or, perhaps you’re a student wanting to articulate your opinion on a University policy that affects our campus community; or maybe you’d like to illicit suppor t for a specific event that your fellow students may find important.

Our hope is that this space will be a hub for discussion of important campus topics.

We want our readers to be engaged, and learn from the great diversity of perspectives and lived experiences on our campus.

Have an idea? Email our Editorial & Opinions editor, jthomas@mndaily.com, if you are interested in participating. We look forward to hearing from you.

No guilt in guilty pleasures Being that people are so apt to share them, guilty pleasures are indicitive of our own narcissism.

T

he phrase “guilty pleasure” has always been a bit of a misnomer because there’s rarely any actual guilt associated with whatever it’s attached to. And why should there be?

Unless your guilty pleasure is lying, cheating or stealing, it probably doesn’t need to come with an apology. You’re not har ming anybody by listening to Flo Rida, so you can end your private session on Spotify, and if you want, you can even share the music video for “My House” on your Facebook wall.

Guilty pleasures aren’t so much indulgences as they are the pieces of ourselves which r un counter to how we want others to perceive us. Or worse: They’re the low-hanging pop cultural fr uit we use to create an identity, to either blend in with those around us or seem more interesting in comparison.

Either way, guilty pleasures are likely just indicative of our own narcissism.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Wells Fargo Scandal undermines banking trust John Stumpf, the chief executive officer of Wells Fargo, is cer tainly not a stupid man. Yet he seemed somehow star tled during his Tuesday testimony before the Senate Banking Committee that his bland words of contrition for his bank’s misdeeds didn’t soothe the angr y pols.

T wo million fraudulent accounts opened. A $185 million fine. Some 5,300 lower-level employees fired.

But the top executives rake in the money regardless. Stumpf himself is paid more than $19 million a year. Carrie Tolstedt, who ran the community banking division where the fake accounts were created, is allowed to retire at the end of the year with a compensation package of tens of millions (and the promise of more riches to come later in the year) despite failing for at least three years to stop the practice.

One mar vels at Stumpf’s obtuseness, if genuine. More likely, he figures that

he takes the heat in a couple of wellpublicized congressional grillings (he has another appearance coming before a House panel) and it will all go away after that.

And maybe it will. But the financial wizards who brought us the 2008 meltdown remain their own worst enemies.

The over whelming suspicion is that these issues are not limited to Wells Fargo. The Washington Post repor ts that consumers have filed more than 31,000 complaints about unauthorized credit cards and the opening, closing and management of accounts. Citibank, another massive piece of our financial ser vices str ucture, was ordered last year to pay $700 million to consumers for misrepresenting the cost and benefits of credit card add-ons.

This is symptomatic of banking culture in an era of historically low interest rates. With the money to be made lending limited, they turned to maximizing the fees they charge for the privilege of holding our money. Low-paid employees are assigned unreasonable sales goals

Because if we’re feeling so goddamn guilty, then why are we so eager to share?

On the flip side, I think we all need to invest less in others’ taste in pop culture if we want to get to know what the tr ue selves of those around us. Ask yourself: Would I rather hang out with someone who genuinely enjoys “Transformers,” or sarcastically dismisses it? And which is more representative of who they are as a person?

This way we can reser ve the phrase “guilty pleasure” for things we should actually feel guilty about — for instance, enjoying Woody Allen movies.

and punished for not reaching them.

There is a silver lining to the Wells Fargo scandal. A push to dismantle the two major pieces of financial refor m enacted in the wake of the 2008 meltdown now faces greater scr utiny. The Republicans have always disliked the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and the banks have chafed at the restrictions imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act. A 500-page bill dismantling both cleared the House Financial Ser vices committee just last week on a party-line vote.

There’s no chance that President Obama (or a President Clinton) would sign that measure. A President Tr ump, that’s another matter.

Rep. Jeb Hensarling, the Texas Republican who heads the House Financial Ser vices committee, claims the measure “substitutes market discipline for government control.” The Wells Fargo scam, and the evidence that the executives who run the big banks are pressing their low-paid front-line workers to do what it takes to maximize fees suggests that, if anything, the big banks need to be further restricted.

EDITORIALS Ellison’s gun act a necessary change

E

arlier this month, Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., introduced legislation that would require colleges and universities to be more transparent about their gun policies — Iif passed, the law would mandate that schools release gun policies alongside other public safety information in their promotional materials.

Current gun policy is largely governed by the Clery Act, which states that schools receiving federal funding must disseminate campus safety information. But the act does not require schools to publish information concerning gun-related policies. In addition, schools are not required to collect statistics on gun crime. The Campus Gun Policy Transparency Act aims to erase this delineation, encompassing gun policy as part of a campus safety.

This policy aligns with most public health experts’ opinions arguing that gun violence is a matter of public health. The American Medical Association almost unanimously adopted a resolution that stated explicitly that the “uncontrolled ownership and use of firearms, especially handguns, is a serious threat to the public’s health.” This is a direct counterargument to current policy, which prevents the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from conducting gun violence research.

Rep. Ellison’s bill would also work to create a standardized system for collecting data on gun ownership and firearm presence as it pertains to crime on campus.

We believe that this is a vital step toward gun-free campuses and that policy makers should get behind Rep. Ellison’s proposed legislation. We agree with his argument that students ought to be informed about the gun policies that their campuses enforce as it gives them the option of making informed decisions about which institution they choose to attend.

Campus gun violence is not a trivial issue. In 2010, the of ficial FBI repor t on violence and crime in institutes of higher learning claimed that guns are used in a notable number of crimes on campuses.

The Cler y Act is insuf ficient when it comes to gun-related matters on campus.

While the policy currently requires schools to make campus crime data publicly accessible, it does not require them to disclose the policies that may have impacted those statistics.

In a letter to his fellow colleagues, Ellison argued that, “We put safety ratings on our cars and warning labels on our medications; students should be able to make informed decisions about the safety of their college campuses, too. Americans have a right to know if their fellow students are bringing guns to class.”

Currently, the University of Minnesota bans the possession of firearms on campus from ever yone except law enforcement, military personnel or other special exceptions. While the overwhelming majority of institutions don’t allow concealed firearms, some schools in states like Arkansas, Colorado, Mississippi, Texas and Wisconsin permit them on their premises.

We think that students at all institutions should be fully informed about the policies pertaining to gun access and ownership on their respective campuses. Gun control is a matter of public safety, and we demand that policymakers reach across the aisle and help pass Ellison’s legislation.

The chemicals were made to protect against stains or in foam to douse fires, Simcik said.

“It’s very difficult, even in the laboratory, to cause these molecules to break down … anything that sticks around forever isn’t necessarily a good thing … you can put them in nitric acid in the lab and they just don’t break,” he said.

PFCs have been linked with some cancers, could suppress the immune system and can build up in the liver,

said James Kelly, a Minnesota Department of Health manager, adding that the chemicals can also disrupt development in fetuses.

“We don’t have a great handle on the toxicology yet,” Simcik said. “These chemicals are much different from anything we’ve dealt with before, so that makes them a bit scary.”

The new guidelines put several homes in Washington County over the PFC limit.

Residents evacuate Cedar Rapids homes ahead of flooding

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Several thousand residents of Cedar Rapids, Iowa left their homes Sunday as floodwaters began to spill out of the rising Cedar River, and Iowa’s second-largest city worked to apply the lessons officials learned after the record 2008 flood.

The river crested Saturday night in Waterloo and Cedar Falls, which are about 55 miles (90 kilometers) upstream from Cedar Rapids, which is Iowa’s second-largest city, with about 130,000 people.

The water levels in Cedar Falls and Waterloo were slightly lower than had been expected, but they still reached levels that were second only to those in 2008, when a major flood devastated the region.

The National Weather Ser vice predicted that the river will crest at 23 feet (7 meters) in Cedar Rapids on Tuesday morning — well below the 2008 record of 31.12 feet (9.5 meters). Officials asked those living in about 5,000 downtown homes near the river to evacuate. They said it could be days before people can return home.

The Cedar Rapids school district said Sunday that it is canceling classes through Wednesday

because of the flooding. District officials will reevaluate the situation by Wednesday afternoon.

Cedar Rapids city manager Jef f Pomeranz said the city has been preparing to deal with a major flood since that of 2008, which caused billions of dollars of damage. City workers and volunteers have been working for days to build a temporar y system of levees to tr y to contain the floodwaters.

“All the work is coming together, and you can see the benefit of planning and preparation,” Pomeranz said.

After the 2008 flood, about 1,350 homes near the Cedar River were bought out and destroyed to reduce the amount of damage that future floods could inflict.

About 45 acres of green space sit in that area today.

On Sunday mor ning, mor e than 100 volun teers helped remove the seats from the restored Paramount Theater in Cedar Rapids and move them up to the second floor to protect them from floodwaters. The theater was heavily damaged in the 2008 flood because it is one block from the Cedar River, and it cost $35 million to restore.

also install filters if requested, said Walker Smith, a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) spokesman.

In some areas, PFC drinking water concentrations have fallen slightly which could be from gradual dilution or normal methods of processing water such as carbon filtering or reverse osmosis that can partially filter out PFCs, said Gary Krueger, an MPCA supervisor.

The MPCA hasn’t finished sampling all the drinking water in areas that might be affected but the department plans to test another 400 to 500 homes in coming months, Smith said.

The MPCA expects some of these untested homes also exceed the limit, he said. “[There are] going to be a lot of water supplies that can’t meet this standard without special attention,” Simcik said.

Baseball legend’s son speaks at U Jackie Robinson’s son visited the U of M to discuss his nonprofit work.

BY DAVID CLAREY dclarey@mndaily.com

Baseball and coffee rarely go hand-in-hand, but David Robinson, the son of baseball legend Jackie Robinson, gave a speech at the University of Minnesota Thursday that touched on both.

David Robinson, 64, grew up during the Civil Rights era and was raised by the first African American to play major league baseball.

Robinson, who helps run coffee cooperatives in Tanzania, visited Minnesota to promote Books for Africa, a St. Paul-based nonprofit that donates books and creates libraries for coffee farmers and their communities in western Tanzania.

About 60 people gathered in a lecture hall on the University’s West Bank to hear Robinson speak.

University President Eric Kaler introduced Robinson and spoke about the importance of minority athletes’ right to protest peacefully.

Robinson talked about the start of his coffee business in Tanzania, Sweet Unity Farms, and about his life in that country for the last 30 years.

After his speech, Robinson sat down for a Q&A with the Minnesota Daily.

Why did you decide

“His greatest desire and his greatest impact was on the social level.

He wanted to have integration benefit his family, the African-American community and the American community.”

DAVID ROBINSON Nonprofit owner

to work in the cof fee industry?

Coffee was, and still is, a large foreign exchange earner — a large portion of the Tanzanian economy. America is the largest consumer in coffee. So again, there is a natural linkage between the country of my birth and the country in which I live now.

We always wanted Tanzania to be involved in global development, so putting together the natural consumer-producer linkage was perfect.

You have 10 kids. Do you anticipate them continuing to work on the coffee farm?

I’m playing the odds. Out of 10 I’m figuring I get, I’m hoping for 20-30 percent. If I can get two or three kids out of it and into the business, I would be most grateful. It’s good work, and hopefully we

will have created a business that is sustainable and they will want to be involved in.

Your father, Jackie Robinson, is an icon in American history. What do you tell your kids about him?

That he was a great baseball player. He brought a lot of baseball skills to the game.

But his greatest desire and his greatest impact was on the social level. He wanted to have integration benefit his family, the African-American community and the American community. His impact on the baseball field, yeah, it made for a heck of an exciting game, but I think the greatest excitement was in the transition of social attitudes, where people could all of a sudden see people they did not regard or respect and brought life and brought capacity and ability through a national sport.

Many kids feel pressure to live up to their parents’ image, but you’re something of a special case with that. What was that like for you?

I was the youngest, and so he had retired from baseball by the time I had become a conscious kid. So there’s probably some benefits in that positioning. I remember him as a father and my memories are … I used to love to play golf, and I used to love to caddie for him. So we had that time together on the golf course. I used to love

to fish, and he used to go fishing with me … and as I got to get older and seeing the greatness, that was certainly something you wanted to respect by emulating. That was a good model for me, as both a father and a career.

Social and racial tensions are mounting inter nationally. What’s your take on the racial tensions in the U.S.?

I don’t think its anyt h i n g n e w. T h e y ’ v e been tr ying to evolve an equitable and respectful society forever. And humanity is on that same course, whether it’s racial or multinational. I think we need to honestly confront the truth and make that a priority discussion, because none of that is going to go well without progressive, respectful human relationships … I think we need to be grateful for everybody that’s trying to raise those issues and be understanding and accepting of the way they are raising them, as long as they are raising them in nonviolent ways. Everybody’s got a beef, but we can’t be planting bombs in each other’s communities.

But other than that, we need to hear the voice of protest. And it may not sound like the music we’d like to hear so much, but it’s carrying critical messages, so we need to hear them, and we need to keep them going.

the other and the crowd erupted. The entire Minnesota sideline jumped up and down.

Defensive end Gaelin Elmore picked up the ball for the Gophers which gave them excellent position to score again.

Minnesota hit a field goal and the score was 17-7 late in the second quarter. The lead held for the rest of the game.

The Gophers won 31-24 to stay undefeated. “[Devers is] definitely a very talented kid,” said head coach Tracy Claeys. “The good thing [is] we haven’t been able to get much of a pass rush on third down at times, and right now when we can use him we are able to do that.”

It was the rushing offense once again that led the way for the Gophers (3-0) — even with the stunning sack and

forced fumble by Devers.

Redshirt sophomore running back Rodney Smith continued his torrid start to the season and finished one yard shy of triple digits on 17 attempts with two touchdowns.

Quar terback Mitch Leidner finished the game with 174 passing yards on 20 attempts, his first interception of the season, one rushing touchdown and 50 yards on the ground.

“I felt good. I felt fast,” Leidner said. “The defensive ends gave me some different reads there where I was able to pull the ball; and some good blocking down the field where I was able to open that up and be able to stretch the play a little bit.”

Smith’s second touchdown of the day was the product of an 11-play, 81-yard drive that put the Gophers up 31-17 with 10 minutes left in the game.

Colorado State (2-2) responded with a touchdown pass from Hill on the next drive. Minnesota had a quick

three-and-out, and suddenly, the Gophers were in trouble.

The Rams had 76 yards to go with 4:19 left in the game, but the drive stalled at Minnesota’s 45-yard line after safety Adekunle Ayinde had a pass deflection on fourth-and-1.

The Gophers got the ball with 1:50 remaining and ran out the clock from there.

The Rams finished the day with 158 rushing yards and 211 passing yards.

“We’re not where we want to be,” said safety Damarius Travis. “I’m pretty pleased with the defense, but we have a long way to go.”

The defense finished with 14 tackles that resulted in a loss of yards. Junior defensive lineman Steven Richardson had four.

The two r ushing touchdowns by Colorado State were by running backs Marvin Kinsey and wide receiver Detrich Clark. The Rams had one drive where they went 75 yards on just six carries to tie the game at 7-7

late in the first quarter. Hill gained 28 rushing yards in the game before sacks.

“They got out of a lot of tackles,” Claeys said. “[Colorado State head coach Mike Bobo] does a nice job of mixing up the personnel, and the quarterback run game is the one thing that was different that we weren’t ready for.”

All of Minnesota’s touchdowns came on the ground — three from running backs and one from Leidner.

Sophomore running back Shannon Brooks returned after a two-game absence due to injury and scored one touchdown while rushing for 85 yards.

“It feels good to be back in pads out there,” Brooks said. “You can’t go back out there too excited like you got to prove something. You just got to go out there and play your game and be calm and do what you can do.”

Travis grabbed the first interception of the year for the Gophers.

Minnesota went on to score a touchdown and finished the game with 10 points off of turnovers.

“I saw the ball was like three yards over thrown,” Travis said. “I made sure I caught it, and I didn’t want to make sure I didn’t just run through and drop it.”

The Gophers ended their

non-conference schedule with the win Saturday. They now begin Big Ten play starting on Oct. 1 against Penn State.

“We’re playing good enough to slow people down a little,” Claeys said. “But we’re obviously not where we need to be going into the Big Ten.”

Richardson leads defensive line in victory

The junior had four tackles for loss and one sack in Saturday’s game.

BY JACK WHITE jwhite@mndaily.com

Minnesota was able to get stops when it mattered most in its Saturday win over Colorado State largely due to the play of the defensive line.

The defensive line had 5.5 tackles for loss, two sacks and a forced fumble. The Gophers had just 15 total tackles for loss before getting 14 in Saturday’s game.

“I think they are doing OK, I really do,” said head coach Tracy Claeys. “From a defensive line standpoint, I think it’s the second and third levels where we have to play better. Richardson blew up the one play the one time on there, knocked the center five yards deep in there. I think the guys up front on the defensive line are doing some good things. We have to play

better at the linebacker level and in the secondary.”

The momentum of the game shifted when freshman defensive lineman Tai’yon Devers sacked freshman quarterback Collin Hill of Colorado State. Hill was hit so hard that he lost his helmet and possession of the football.

Minnesota recovered the ball at the Rams’ 33-yard line.

While Devers’ sack was his only tackle of the game and he didn’t receive a lot of playing time outside of passing situations, Claeys said he is willing to use Devers more when the team is ahead.

“If we can put teams in situations where they have to throw the ball all the time, he’s a great weapon,” he said.

“If teams are going to run the ball, he’s just not big enough, really, to do that. He’s only a freshman, and he will grow a little bit, but he’s definitely a very talented kid.”

Junior Steven Richardson also stepped up on the defensive line, leading the team in tackles for loss with four. He

also added a sack in the opening drive of the game, his second of the season. Redshirt senior Damarius Travis said it’s good to have Richardson on the defensive line.

“I’ll be downfield covering, and I’ll look back and just hear the crowd going crazy, and I’ll just look back and see that it’s him,” Travis said. “It’s

just awesome that he’s on our line.”

Colorado State’s Hill was pressured into overthrowing a ball in the first quarter. The ball landed in Travis’ hands for Minnesota’s first interception of the season.

The defensive line had three sacks in the game.

Hill struggled to put up big

numbers against the Gophers defense and completed just one touchdown pass and only 50 percent of his passes.

A downfall of pressure on the quarterback can often be overcommitting. Screens have been one area where the defensive line and defense as a whole have struggled. Travis said the team will try to

MADDY FOX, DAILY

improve on screen defense in the future.

“It’s going to be a familiar thing that teams do that to us just because they’ve had success running screens on us,” he said. “We’re going to practice it. We know that teams are going to do that, and we’re going to be prepared for it when it comes.”

Sophomore for ward April Bockin extended the lead early in the second half with an unassisted goal in the 65th minute.

Junior for ward Sydney Squires added their final goal with an assist from junior midfielder Megan Koenig to leave Indiana (5-6-1, 2-2-0 Big Ten) with little chance to get back in the game.

Minnesota took 19 shots with eight on target against Indiana. Indiana put one of their five shots on goal.

The Gophers’ sharp of fense has been vital to their success so far this year. The team has 28 goals through 12 matches.

“All of our for wards complement each other,” Bockin said.

Senior goalkeeper Tarah Hobbs also only needed to make one save in the game to keep the shutout for her team.

Minnesota and Purdue (3-7-0, 1-3-0 Big Ten) were knotted at zero heading into halftime during Saturday’s game and only took

three shots.

“We str uggled a little bit [to find scoring opportunities in the first half],” said associate head coach Kr ystle Seidel.

Stiever got Minnesota star ted in the second half and conver ted a chance of f her own rebound to give the Gophers the lead. Junior for ward and defender Julianna Gernes provided the assist.

The second half continued to be a different stor y as Minnesota showed its deter mination to score.

The Gophers hit 10 shots on goal by the end of the match.

Bockin scored a second goal for Minnesota in the 76th minute of f of an assist from senior forward Simone Kolander to seal the game for the Gophers.

“I found myself in great oppor tunities,” Bockin said.

Bockin scored two goals this weekend to bring her goal count to seven this season.

Redshirt junior Matt Welch runs in the Merrill Fischbein Men’s Gold race at the Roy Griak Invitational on Saturday at the Les Bolstad golf course.

The men’s team had two runners finish in the top 10 during the annual meet.

BY ALYSSA HODENFIELD ahodenfield@mndaily.com

Both Minnesota cross countr y teams finished in ninth place and in the top half of teams that competed in the 31st annual Roy Griak Invitational at the University of Minnesota’s Les Bolstad Golf Course.

Freshman Bethany Hasz leads women’s team

The No. 25 Gophers women’s cross country team competed in the Jack Johnson Women’s Gold Division I 5K race against 34 other teams and came out with 262 points to put them in ninth place overall.

The team had three runners place in the top 50.

“It was good. I think we aren’t necessarily over the moon about it,” said head coach Sarah Hopkins. “The team goal was to be top five, so we fell a little bit short of that. It wasn’t our best day, but we kept it in range of being a good solid day.”

Leading runners for the women’s team Saturday afternoon were freshman Bethany Hasz, who finished in 21st place (22:21.4), redshirt junior Madeline Strandemo in 33rd (22:32.4) and freshman Megan Hasz in 44th (22:39.8).

“I was super happy with how I placed,” said Bethany Hasz. “It’s nice to have a huge meet out of the way. I’m really looking forward to the rest of the season.”

True freshman Bethany Hasz, and newcomer to the Griak Invitational, had an impressive finish on the home course, Hopkins said.

“It’s the first time Bethany has been our number one kid all year, and she had a great day today,” she said.

“She just kept plugging away and really just fought the whole way through.”

“This was about as competitive of a field as we’ve seen for this race,” said head coach Steve Plasencia Saturday. “To be in the top six like Matt [Welch] and Obsa [Ali] were, you have to be doing something right.”

Welch led the men’s team with a second place time of 25:07.7. Ali and redshir t junior Charlie Lawrence rounded out the top three for the Gophers, placing sixth and 73rd respectively.

The men’s team has a break in its schedule while the women’s team will split up to run in the Notre Dame Invitational in South Bend, Indiana and the Blugold Invite in Eau Claire, Wisconsin on Friday.

“We have to make sure we hold in on what works for each individual and make sure that by the time we hit [the Big Ten], we have a really solid idea of how each person needs to run on our course,” Hopkins said. “We’re in a really good spot to go forward.”

The invitational was a good test for both teams, as the Big Ten Championships will be held at the Les Bolstad Golf Course as well.

KATHRYN CHLYSTEK, DAILY

Sophomore AnneMarie Emme returns the ball to Penn State on March 18, 2016 at the Baseline Tennis Center.

Minnesota finishes strong in first meet The Gophers won 22 doubles matches and 20 singles matches.

BY DREW COVE dcove@mndaily.com

The women’s tennis team kicked off its fall season by hosting the Gopher Invitational at the Baseline Tennis Center Friday through Sunday.

The Gophers won a majority of the matches they played — Minnesota went 20-14 in singles matches and dominated doubles play to finish the tournament with a 22-7 record.

“Our doubles looked

really good,” said head coach Chuck Merzbacher.

“It was a really good start.”

The dominance in doubles comes as no surprise. Minnesota went 6555 in doubles last season.

Although the Gophers saw seven losses over the weekend, many of the matches were close.

Despite the being the first tour nament of the season, the Gophers didn’t let the ner ves or rusty play hang around too long. “[It’s] nice to have it under our belt,” said junior Mehvish Safdar, “The main thing with these tour naments is figuring out what you need to work on and progressively get better, and I felt with ev-

er y match I was getting better.”

Sophomore Camila Vargas Gomez hadn’t been able to par ticipate in any tournaments at home over the summer, so she was thankful for this first tournament for a number of reasons.

“We played so many matches,” Gomez said.

“They were all so helpful.

For me it is really important to get playing and get hot in real matches because it is not the same as playing in practice matches.”

Gomez went 3-1 in her singles matches, and when paired with sophomore Annemarie Emme, she had a 2-0 record.

Gomez also played with senior Maja Vujic to a record of 4-1.

While this was the first tournament of the season for the team, it was the first collegiate tournament for some. “[The freshmen] handled the pressure really well,” Safdar said. “Doubles knowledge and strategy is hard to grasp right away, but I think our freshmen are really adapting to it.”

Such success was highlighted by the performance of freshman Cammy Frei. Frei went 3-1 in singles matches and tied with Vargas Gomez for the most doubles wins with a record of 7-1.

adequate milk supply for later, said Susan Warfield, director of the Student Parent HELP Center and founder of the LAC. There are over 20 public spaces for lactation at the University, up from the three available 15 years ago, War field said, adding more could still be done.

The Af fordable Care Act and a Minnesota statute mandate that employers allow nursing mothers breaks as needed and a space — not a restroom — to pump, she said.

Generally, that space is a private, lockable room with an outlet and a seat, Warfield said.

“With a baby, you can hardly tell what a woman is doing,” she said. “With p um p i n g , y o u l i t e r ally have to expose yourself completely.”

While some point to public restrooms as a solution, they’re not always sanitar y, War field said.

“Would you want to make a sandwich for yourself in one of the public restrooms that a hundred people use ever y day?” she said.

Another major issue is finding space close to a woman’s workplace.

“Most women are doing this two to three times a day,” said LAC member and University administrative assistant Jaclyn Adair.

“If you have a room that’s not ver y accessible, that takes a lot of time out of your work day.”

One solution to this problem is the LacPod, a mobile lactation space

LACTATION SPACES IN THE BIG 10

SOURCE: LACTATION ADVOCACY COMMITTEE

constr ucted as a senior project in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. It was installed in Cof fman Memorial Union last spring for a year-long trial.

War field came up with the idea for the LacPod because the demand for lactation spaces is fluid, and there can be long periods with no need for the spaces.

The project has received positive feedback so far, said University mechanical engineering graduate Paul W i c h s e r, w h o h e l p e d design and build the LacPod. Coffman is a great spot for the moveable LacPod because it’s a high-traf fic area without a permanent

lactation room, Wichser said.

The first LacPod was a prototype and wouldn’t withstand much moving, but its designers hope to create a profitable business from the idea, he said.

“Sex-obsessed and sex-phobic”

Breastfeeding is important to child development, said Tai Mendenhall, family social science professor at the University.

“The physical and mental benefits of breastfeeding are a thousand studies deep — in terms of the baby’s health, in terms of the baby’s ability to resist disease and infection, in terms of the baby’s allergies,” he said.

“Coming back from leave is stressful enough because you’re leaving your child … and then on top of it you’re trying to make this pumping thing work, which can be very stressful.”

Charlotte protests remain peaceful outside NFL game

SARAH KEENE University teaching specialist and LAC member

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

But wester n views of sexuality can produce a stigma around breastfeeding in public which makes it stressful for nursing moms to feed their children outside the home. “ We d o n ’ t h a v e any problem with the supermodel showing most of her breast on the cover of … [a] magazine, but if we see even half of that out in public underneath a blanket as someone’s feeding their child, it’s of fensive,” Mendenhall said.

U.S. culture is both sexphobic and sex-obsessed, he said, complicating discussions over breastfeeding.

Duckett said the discussion around breastfeeding has grown more important in recent decades.

“The whole thing about breastfeeding in this day and age in a developed countr y is that … so many women are working outside the home or attending school, and we have both of those populations here at the University,” she said.

Added stressors Adair said she joined LAC after giving bir th to her son.

“I star ted thinking about where I was going to pump because my office is not private, and … the des-

ignated lactation space in [my building] at the time was subpar,” she said.

She found an unused of fice but often had to search for available conference rooms or other open spaces, she said.

University teaching specialist and LAC member Sarah Keene said she had trouble with meetings around campus when she was nursing. She said she’d leave meetings in buildings with no lactation room to walk to par ts of campus with appropriate spaces, adding tension to her work.

“Coming back from leave is stressful enough because you’re leaving your child … and then on top of it you’re tr ying to make this pumping thing work which can be ver y stressful,” Keene said.

Students can face a d d i t i o n a l w o r r y, Duckett said, because they may not even be aware of the lactation resources available, and when they do, they must use a number of spaces as they travel around campus for class.

“Anecdotally … we do know that it’s delayed [students’] reentr y back into the U, and that’s absolutely not what we want,” Warfield said.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Nightly protests have shaken the city of Charlotte since the shooting death of a black man by police last week, but Sunday’s NFL game between the Carolina Panthers and the Minnesota V ikings managed to open without interruption.

A group of around 100 demonstrators gathered across the street from Bank of America Stadium to keep up the pressure in the aftermath of the death of Keith Lamont Scott. The 43-year-o ld man was shot and killed Tuesday after a confrontation with Charlotte police.

Five nights of protests followed, two of them violent.

On Sunday, protesters led by a man with a bullhorn across the street from Bank of America Stadium were surrounded by at least two dozen police of ficers on bicycles. Their message competed with the noise of fans streaming toward the stadium and an impromptu jazz band playing tunes less than a block away.

When the national anthem was played, the protesters all dropped to one knee as many NFL players have been doing for weeks to call attention to issues, including police shootings.

Inside the stadium, Carolina safety Marcus Ball raised his fist during the anthem.
