SCSU remembers 1988 Homecoming they began to throw bottles and cans as well as rocked cars on the street. More police were called in from Sherburne and Stearns

Ryan Hanenburg STAFF REPORTER

Today’s SCSU students may not even be able to picture riots happening on campus. However, on the weekend of Oct. 14, 1988, that’s exactly what happened. This week marked the 25 year since the riots took place. The event took place during SCSU’s homecoming celebrations with people from all over coming to SCSU to party. On that Friday night, the police began to receive calls about house parties. Around 11:18 pm, the police received a call about a altercation with campus security about a towed motorcycle.

from a beer bottle to the head. There were reports of furniture being burned in yards, street signs being torn down, and damage to property. The police dispersed the crowds using tear gas, riot gear, and police dogs. Assistant Chief of Police, Susan Stawarski, was a dispatcher during the events. She said the force didn’t really have the proper training or equipment for this situation. She remembers thinking that the cooperation between multiple departments and as many as 15 squads from the Metro area

was “pretty darn impressive.” events as “riots.” Stawarski said after the riots the police department took several steps to prepare for these types of situations. The city approved the purchase of riot suits which are padded They also undertook training in large crowd control, which is practiced every year. The department also has a SWAT team whom are trained for special situations. Assistant Chief Stawarski said if a situation like that of 1988 were to arise today then both the SWAT team and response would depend on the situation.

Not only could people participate through volunteer work and the physical walk, but they could also donate.

To make immediate changes to the statistics we see we should have already done that.” Forcible sex offenses are grouped into one category. Forcible rape, forcible sodomy, sexual assault with an object and forcible fondling are all grouped together. There were six forcible rapes on campus in 2012, offenses happened on campus. 2012 and one off campus, totaling six over the year. In 2011 there was one report of forcible fondling on public property. In 2010 there were four reports of forcible fondling, and one on public property. There were no reports of forcible sodomy or sexual assault with an object in any of the three years reported on.

ICSC seeks new mosque Joe Edmonds ASST. NEWS EDITOR

These graphs indicate the changes over time for sex offenses, thefts and arrests for alchohol and drugs.

Members from The Islamic Center of St. Cloud seek to build a larger and more accommodating mosque for the expanding Muslim community. Meetings were held at city hall to decide whether or not they would receive permission to build a full sized mosque, which would include a place of prayer for men and women and a community center.

deliberation, members of the Islamic Center pulled the plug on the project. Plans pointed toward eventually building a school on the site in the 9.5 acre area. Community members squeezed in to city hall to discuss the proposition of a mosque that many of the local residents were against, citing zoning issues and lack of space as their main concern. Neighbors also said they had concerns about parking in the area, as the lot that

was to be built on would not include a parking lot. Normally a place of worship to be built in St. Cloud would not require a public hearing, but since the plans included a community center a hearing was required. The zone the mosque was to be built on was a planned unit development, which was also a reason a public hearing was necessary. “During the public hearing, after the council had closed the hearing they

Editorial Cartoons

It’s one of my biggest pet peeves, people that think they are better than everybody else. No, I’m not talking about people that say things in a joking manner. Heck, I even do that from time to time (or sometimes more for those that know me personally). No, what I’m talking about are the people that apparently have something to prove to everyone else. That they are the top dog, that no one should or can mess with them. In the last few months, I’ve met numerous people that have demonstrated this rather annoying and confrontational personality trait. Questioning their motives seems to spark agitation, going above their heads and you have yet to see (or feel) their wrath. It seems the only thing to do is back down and let their type one, alpha personality dominate. Oh, how they underestimate this girl.

not like to be threatened and loves to press buttons, I adore dealing with people like this. Calling them on their claims of superiority and questioning them on their desires and motives is something I can not wait to accomplish. Because more often than not, inserting other perspectives and viewpoints into a certain way of thinking is probably a good thing to do. Egotistical people seem to have that almost bullying, threatening personality about them, especially when this personality is coupled with a position of

But there is an appropriate means to accomplish this without succumbing to “putting people in their place” to satisfy one’s ego trip. Having an ego is a good thing. I’m not saying that it’s bad. One should be proud of the work that they can accomplish. They should be able to believe in their abilities, and should sions. However, what I do not like is the fact that

It’s hard to just stand by and take the verbal abuse, the constant assumption that you have no idea what you are talking about. makes you feel even more inferior and further boosts their ego. What’s worse is when these people hold the power to make your life miserable. From demoting you at work, to kicking you out of their class, to thwarting every attempt you make at doing your work. It’s frustrating, and rather discouraging. What happened to

asserting the dominance of one’s ego at the expense of others. Just because you have pride and don’t like to see it bruised doesn’t mean that its not good for you. It’s called being humble. It’s called being respectful. It’s not always about getting your way. It’s about what is the best for everyone involved. Egos are important, but an ego check once in a while can go a long way in social and business relationships. Treat people with respect.

Have you ever entered Facebook and thought that it looked like some board for gloating and tried not to call it “bragging-book?” When I got used to reading statuses about what my Facebook friends are doing at some moment, I also had to get used to reading what they have accomplished in life. Or what are they planning to accomplish. I just couldn’t survive without all that information! I don’t know who came up with the ‘’hide’’ option on Facebook, but whoever that person was, I am really, really thankful for that. That is probably the smartest thing done on that social network. Now I can select what I want to see on my Facebook home page and what I don’t want to. Unfortunately, usually there are more “unwanted” things than “wanted” ones. Sometimes I have a feeling that people consider Facebook something as pretty similar to Curriculum Vitae(CV). That would

be the only explanation why they have that need to ‘’publish’’ their ‘’accomplishments’’ on it. When I look through the time, almost all of my peers have published their decisions; what university they are going to apply to, or to which college they had been accepted to. When I started going to college, many friends from my home town and my new colleagues posted on Facebook when they got their only one they got for three years so far. When my colleagues and I started an internship with two newspapers, my Facebook home page became a news-page with their published articles. those, but oh well. I could see ‘’congratulations’’ over like they have been hired in those newspaper, even though they had been there for two weeks and they were obligated to do so! scholarship to spend one academic year in United never published my university decision, most of my acquaintances found I have never published or bragged about any of my grades, my colleagues sometimes even knew my

Now that I am in the U.S., along with other people from my country who got the same scholarship, I get especially sick when I see photos of their exams with grades on it; “100/100.” They have probably accomplished everything they expected in life. I am happy for them. I wish my major was correlated to psychology, so I can understand some people’s minds and ideas. I am not sure that the need for publishing everything on Facebook is because of the low self-esteem or lack am really interested how they feel after that. Better? More important? More that much power right now – maybe everybody should try that some day. Now, I have been writing for about a month for University Chronicle and this is my tenth published article.

Judges are ineligible to submit work in a genre they are judging. Professor Olson said, “The Harvest is a great experience for both entrants and members.” It gives aspiring writers the experience of having their work published and it makes for a good reference on their resume. It provides members with valuable experience in editing, learning how a magazine gets produced, and fundraising as well. Olson also named a few former students who have gone on to publish more work at other mediums. Former student Bethany Frenette signed a three-book deal with Hyperion Publishing, Gretchen Marquette had a poem in the Paris Review, and Robyn Jodlowski had an essay published in Slate Magazine. The Upper Mississippi Harvest has been running for over 30 years at SCSU. It used to be a student organization, but it is now a one-credit workshop.

The publication is entirely student-run with a faculty advisor to offer guidance and advice when needed. The magazine only features work from students who have been enrolled in at least one of the last three semesters at SCSU. The faculty advisor, Shannon Olson, said that they “get submissions from members of the St. Cloud community that they can’t use,” since they are not SCSU students. The magazine publishes most types of literature or visual artwork which include: short stories, a typical short story), short monologues, graphic novels, and any visual artwork. The entries are judged via “blind submissions,” which means that the two head editors, Julianne Godbout and Taylor Simon, take the names off the entries and assign them numbers. This way, reviewers are unaware of who wrote what, which means they don’t have to worry about bias towards a friend’s work.

Ashmika Patke MOVIE REVIEW “Gravity” is a thriller about surviving astronauts in a damaged space shuttle. The outer-space survivalist tale “Gravity” brings together the widely talented Sandra Bullock and George space for the majority of movie with voice features by Ed Harris and Paul Sharma. Medical engineer Dr. Ryan Stone (Bullock) is prepared for her leading space shuttle mission, while veteran astroexpedition. During a spacewalk, satellite debris crashes into their space shuttle, Explorer, destroying the majority of the vehicle and leaving the inhabitants stranded in space with restricted air. The debris continue to destruct other satellites, causing a chain reaction of demolition, including the communication satellites to Mission Control in the United States. Despite the seemingly broken connection, the suspended astronauts continue to transmit information to Mission Control in the desperate hope their messages will be received, despite being able to retrieve messages from Earth.

Missions aren’t just limited to autos in the newest GTA installment’s online version.

‘GTA Online’ expands on ‘GTA V’ missions, but suffers from bugs Ryan Hanenburg VIDEO GAME REVIEW “Grand Theft Auto Online” is far more than just the multi-player mode of “GTA V”. Rockstar Games envisioned the game’s audience forming a real living world that functioned like an MMO (Massively Multi-player Online game). It’s just disappointing that the game’s launch has gone about as well as your average MMO. the game has been having so many problems with lag, bad matchmaking, corrupted data, and other game breaking bugs that very few have been able to actually sit down and play it. The game is more or less stable now, and Rockstar is continually patching it. Rockstar’s response to the multitude of bugs and server issues has been stellar and they deserve all the credit they get for working to smooth things over after the rough launch. Story The game’s story begins about a month before the events of the single player campaign. You play as tos to take advantage of the criminal opportunities available in the city. “GTA Online’s” story is much emphasis is on forming your own story and interacting with other players. Gameplay “GTA Online’s” gameplay is not quite as polished as that of the single player but it compensates

tation. You can go practically anywhere and enter most buildings in the world. You can do nearly anything you want, provided you have the money and skill to back it up. There are a variety of missions and activities you can participate in, like races, and death matches. Occasionally, characters in the world will give you story missions like repossessing cars and stealing products for them. As you rise in level more and more opportunities will present themselves to you. You have a variety of ways to spend the money you make with things like apartments, cars, and weapons. “GTA Online” is fun to play, but ing people for activities can be a long and laborious process.

The album started out very well with strong songs like “Gimme What I Don’t Know (I Want),” and the almost industrial sounding “True Blood”. The album began to slide when the song “Cabaret” came on. At the beginning of the track, Timberlake sounds bored. Even though he says he is having fun, he really doesn’t sound like it. The song sounds like it is trying to make a dance anthem but the song has no energy or upbeat feeling to it to make it accomplish that goal. The album continues this trail of disappointment. There are a few exceptions like his latest single “Take Back The Night,” which is not the best song on this album, but is a fun track that feels like it has substance. However, the same cannot be said for the next couple

of songs on the album “TKO”, “Murder”, and “Drink You Away”, which seemed like dull The following song, the seven minute long masterpiece “Amnesia”, features unbelievably catchy melodies and a very beautiful musical mixture of alternative, hip hop, and R&B which built this to be one of the strongest songs on the album. The track was a true showcase of Justin Timberlake’s artistic genius. “Only When I Walk Away” is another well-done song that breaks away from the traditional pop formula, featuring a catchy guitar solo followed by a dark ethereal breakdown that builds back up. “Not a Bad Thing”, which is the longest song on the album, features a secret song “A Pair of Wings.” This again, is not something that is very common to see in music nowadays, but simulates a trend that was popular in the nineties and early 2000’s. Overall this album contains several great songs. While there are a few stinkers, if you got the the “20/20 Experience” series, you will enjoy this album. However if you expect to hear eleven “Sexy Back”s or “Cry Me A Rivers”s, you will be pleasantly surprised to see what Mr. Timberlake has in store for you. Rating: 7 / 10

Style The graphics and art style are practically the same as the regular game, which is to be expected. They can suffer a bit of pop-in and jaggy textures depending on the speed of your internet connection. Bottom Line “Grand Theft Auto Online” holds a lot of promise, but it’s still undergoing growing pains. Once the bugs are ironed out and matchmaking is improved, then it looks to be an incredible experience. Rockstar has stated that they plan on developing content for the game for years to come. They are currently looking at adding in heists which will work similar to those in the single player.

Huskies get back to their winning ways taking two games in a row after falling to one of their most heated rivals with the Bulldogs of Minnesota Duluth. The No. 25 ranked Huskies held off the charge of the University of Mary in Bismarck, ND last Saturday with a 20-13 win increasing their winning record, a 6-1 NSIC, 6-1 overall. Having a 20-3 lead at one point in the game, the Huskies defense was tested late but was able to halt the Mauraders when the time came.

Walker had 14 carries for 75 yards for SCSU and his brother, Kenneth, had eight carries for 44 yards. The prior week to playing the Mauraders the Huskies needed a game where they could get back into the winning mode, a mode they’ve been accustomed to this season, after faltering to UMD 34-7 on Oct. 5. They got exactly that when Minnesota-Crookston entered Husky Stadium. The Huskies dominated, to put it mildly, the Golden Eagles winning 55-6.

Loaded backcourt looks to lead the Huskies Ryan Fitzgerald STAFF COLUMN

The basketball season is less than a month away and the men’s basketball team will look to send head coach Kevin Schlagel off in style. Schlagel announced he will be retiring at the end of this season, but only after trying to cap off his long 17 seasons with another 20 plus win year. With a bunch of returning players, this year’s roster looks to have the experience needed to make a deep run in the NSIC, which is always one of the most competitive conferences in Division II basketball. Leadership and experience is something the Huskies will rely heavily on in the new season, if they want to make Schlagels’ last season memorable. It’s not a matter of depth, rather, who will take the reigns as leader. The Huskies did a good job at recruiting in the off season and brought some pretty talented players in to help them make a run a National title. Nothing is set in stone, but the men’s basketball team may have a more guardheavy lineup this season, and they will need it, losing two of their best players, Theo Rothstein and Shaun Jensen, to graduation. With a strong crew led by junior Kevin Levandoski, sophomore Jordan Poydras, senior Damarius Cruz, and freshman Scottie Stone in the back court, coach Schlagel has the vision of playing to his team’s greatest strength even more. Stone, a Melrose High graduate, will play right away for the Huskies after a stellar prep career. All the coaches and players already like the productivity they see out of Stone. His talent isn’t in question, he was the top area high school player in 2012

high school boys basketball. Levandoski and Cruz are the team’s captains. Levandoski averaged 9.5 points a game last season and Cruz averaged 10.4 points a game. The Huskies should also be strong up front with centers James Fort and Chris Larson, and forward Connor Niehaus returning. The Huskies also added 6-foot6 senior forward, Matt Craggs, in the off season. Craggs transferred from Northern Michigan where he averaged 14 points and six rebounds a game a year ago. Being vulnerable in the post is where the Huskies struggled with most last season. With much of the weight on Jensen’s and Rothstein’s shoulders last season the Huskies hope they can constant productivity from the entire roster. After losing 6-8 recruit Payton Plagge in the summer, Schlagel and his staff brought in 6-7 senior forward Nigel Fowler-Canty. Canty is a native of Chicago who previously attended the University of Missouri, but was a student-manager for the men’s basketball team. The Huskies added another guard in Fergus Falls Community College transfer, Chuckie Smith. Smith will be a red-shirt this season.

Women’s hockey can’t contain Wisconsin Jeremiah Graves STAFF REPORT

FRIDAY The Women’s hockey team traveled to Madison this weekend to take on the Badgers of the University of Wisconsin. SCSU held the Badgers scoreless until Natalie Berg buried a rebound past goaltender Just over six minutes into the second period the Badgers struck again, this time from Katy Josephs’s high shot from the top of the circle. from Brittany Ammerman. The Badgers weren’t done yet, with only 1:09 remaining in the period, Josephs would beat Friend again, this goal coming off a power play. 8:24 seconds into the third period Huskies senior Molli Mott scored the lone goal for Friend kicked back 52 shots from the Badgers, on the other end Wisconsin’s Alex Rigsby only need 16 to help her team to victory. SCSU was penalized ten times in three periods, along with Lauren Hespenheide collecting a game misconduct on a check from behind in the second. Both Mott and Caroline Markstrom had a pair of penalties. Friend’s record moves to 0-2-2 on the season, and the Huskies record falls to 0-3-2, 0-2-1-1 WCHA.

SATURDAY Things would only get worse for the Huskies on Saturday as the Badgers shutout SCSU for a 6-0 win. Courtney Burke put the Badgers up 1-0 early in the game at the 4:32 mark of the period, coming 11 seconds into the power-play. The majority of goals for Wisconsin came in the second period, started by a powerplay goal just 1:42 seconds into the period. Karley Sylevester beat Huskies goalie Katie Fitzgerald for her third point of the series. A minute and a half later, Blayre Turnbull found the back of the net on a short-handed goal to put the Bagers up 3-0. Britanny Ammerman continued the scoring for Wisconsin at the 12:50 mark of the

Men’s hockey headed East after bye week Ryan Fitzgerald STAFF REPORT

Enjoying an early bye week this past weekend, the no. 9 ranked men’s hockey team (1-0-1) will look to get ready for a trip out East to take on Colgate University (2-21) in Hamilton, NY. Coming off a 7-0 loss last Saturday to Bowling Green, the Raiders will look to prove something to the visiting Huskies, who have high expectations this season themselves. The Huskies started off the NCHC season, in the newly-renovated Herb Brooks National Hockey Center, with a 3-2 win over Bemidji State in front of 4,684 screaming fans. Nic Dowd’s shorthanded goal in the second period sealed victory in for what was a closer game than many expected. Dowd worked hard over the summer on his shot and it showed. He estimated that he had shot over 10,000 pucks over the summer. Dowd only had three shots in the game, and having shot 10,000 plus pucks over the summer shows dedication, and illustrates that a player doesn’t need to take many shots in a game to be a consistent goalscorer like Dowd plans to be. kies started off well with sophomore sensation Joey Benik picking up right where he left off last season scoring two goals to give the Huskies a 2-0 lead before the Beavers

tied the game at late in the second period. Benik really took off towards the end of last NCAA playoff games he played in. Head coach Bob Motzko said he thought his team played really well defensively during the last two periods, and the two goals the Beavers got came from mistakes that could be corrected. Motzko mentioned that there were a couple of things the Huskies were really sloppy in, and that it’s to be expected in the opening game of the season. Barely squeaking out the victory the night before, the Huskies entered the second game against the Beavers with defense in mind; trying to correct the mental mistakes they made in the series opener. In terms of Pair Wise Rankings, it is a tie. However, SCSU men’s hockey fans got out format the NCHC will be using. The Beavers won the shootout 3-2 in

season. The Huskies are about to begin Hockey Conference, and the conference will be using shootouts after games are tied after overtime. In non-conference games, if the opposing team accepts before the series, games will go to shootouts. More importantly, the ninth-ranked Huskies showed resilience and were able to come back to get a 2-2 tie after being down 2-0 going into the third period in a non-

conference game before a crowd of 4,500. The Huskies’ power play was a pitiful 0-for-5 when they went onto the main advantage early on in the third period. Co-captain Nic Dowd changed that ugly stat as he tied the game with a power-play goal at 9:46 with assists coming from Jonny Brodzinski and Andrew Prochno. With 87 shot attempts, the Huskies had plenty of scoring opportunities, but

24 of them were off target. If the Huskies could’ve made the puck to the net more and capitalized on some big rebounds, the game might have had a different outcome. The Huskies should be well rested and with a good couple of practices, they should all be on the right page making their annual trip out east to take on the Raiders.
