Women on Wednesdays discuss arranged marriage Ryan Hanenburg STAFF WRITER
Women on Wednesday is an event that happens nearly every Wednesday, which is sponsored by the Women’s Center. This week’s subject was arranged marriage. This is part of the theme for the semester which Hilary Packer, a graduate assistant for the Women’s Center, said is “Women in Globalization and global perspectives.” There were three speakers for the event: Minijeh Daneshpour, Department Chair and Professor of Community Psychology, Counseling, and the Marriage and Family Therapy Master’s Program at SCSU; Sheh Kalia, a Physics Professor at SCSU; and Dinishika Vithanage, a SCSU graduate student. Packer said that “the speakers were chosen for their local perspective and familiarity with students from classes.” marriage?” Vithanage’s experience with arranged marriage has been a personal one, as she was approached by her family in 2007 with a proposal for an arranged marriage. She was told by She did not follow these directives and the proposal was summarily dismissed. Vithanage Professor Khalia had an arranged marriage that still lasts today. Professor Daneshpour is from Iran, where they do not have traditional arranged marriages, but their families still play a large part in the relationship process. arranged marriage?” Vithanage stated that she believes there could be love in an arranged marriage. Professor Kalia said that love in an arranged marriage is different from love in other types of marriages. She believes that in an arranged marriage, love is something that grows over time and experience with the person whereas other types of marriages may be a result of the passionate love that two people feel. “It doesn’t matter how you enter the marriage, but the mindset you enter it with does” she said. Professor Daneshpour said that “marriage is in a continuum,” which means it evolves with time and is a progression. riage?” Professor Kalia said that a disadvantage was that you don’t get to learn about the person until after the marriage, but the advantage is that your family will be the one picking your mate.

Vithanage said one of the disadvantages was a lack of freedom. She stated that she wanted the freedom to select her own partner. “Marriage is an individualistic choice and I believe in love marriage,” she said. Professor Daneshpour said that an advantage was that, “your level of expectations for relationships are lower.” This is good because you measure the person as they are and not against all the previous experiences that you’ve had.

SG discsusses activity fee ceiling limit Joe Edmonds ASST. NEWS EDITOR
Tuition is an important aspect for students at SCSU. Likewise, knowing where their money is being spent is also important with multi-million dollar projects such as the renovations to Atwood or the new Integrated Science and Engineering Research Facility (ISELF). In total, SCSU has a total revenue of $195,333,000. Tuition accounts for 30 percent of revenue, or $58,599,900. State appropriations are fees allocated from Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU), which is funded by fees allocated from the state government. This accounts for $52,739,910 of SCSU revenue, or 27 percent. Federal grants are given directly
from the federal government without going through state levels. This makes up 10 percent of revenue for SCSU, or $19,533,300 Restricted payments include fund revenues, student fees, and room and board. This income also make up 10 percent of the total revenue. Grants from the state account for 4 percent $7,813,320. Similarly to federal grants these do not have to go through MnSCU. Merchandise sales make up 6 percent of revenue, or a total of $11,719,980 About 12 percent of the remaining budget is split between private grants, interest income and fees from parking restrictions. Of the $195,333,000 accumulated and generated by SCSU, almost one third of that goes directly back to the classrooms or laboratories.
MEG ISERLOTH /ONLINE EDITOR
This graph shows the total expenses of the entire SCSU budget. Classes take up almost a third of the budget.
As designated by MnSCU Program Codes, $63,404,655 is spent on instruction. This includes faculty salary, department chairs and coordinators, student workers, equipment for classes, printing at a reasonable cost and other expenditures that would go into a learning environment. It also includes activities organized to produce research outcomes. Student services is the portion of SCSU’s budget that is allocated towards Student Government (SG). The entire section of the budget
$21,973,827, but SG is responsible for half of that, or about $11 million. Student Government allocates fees for many student associations and athletics. They decide how much money organizations such as Multicultural Student Services, University Program Board and LGBT Resources. SG also manages intercollegiate athletics like hockey and football. When football almost did not have a season in 2010, it was up to SG to decide whether they played that year or did not. Some of the activities and groups SG presides over are in danger of having several of their services and programs cut due to shrinking enrollment and a fee ceiling that other MnSCU schools do not want to raise. The fee ceiling for student activities is being pressed against as costs continue to rise, and associate vice president for Financial Management and Budget Patrick Jacobson-Shulte addressed SG at their meeting on Oct. 24. “I wanted them to be educated on the fact that they would have to ask for that,” Jacobson-Shulte said. “My worry was waiting for students to get to May and realize we have to cut from Health Services, which would take months.”
MEG ISERLOTH /ONLINE EDITOR
This graph shows sources of revenue for SCSU. Tuition and state appropriations make up the majority of revenue The problem that arises for student services in this situation is the fees are set by MnSCU, not SCSU. If the majority of MnSCU schools, such as Mankato State University or Winona State University, do not want to raise the ceiling it would not happen. Director of Athletics Heather Weems also spoke at the meeting to appeal to SG to support raising the fee ceiling. “If the athletics program is simply about the 530 students athletes who we serve on a direct basis then we have a problem,” Weems said. “It really is about the campus and community and how we build pride
and loyalty.” A resolution was brought up at the Oct. 24 SG meeting that would raise this ceiling to allow more wiggle room. Though the resolution was tabled, it was brought back up at their meeting on Oct. 31 where it was passed. The resolution will be brought to Minnesota State University Student Association (MSUSA) to be possibly be reviewed. Jacobson-Shulte said that President Earl Potter would support the resolution when it goes to MSUSA. “You’re only as out of control as you allow yourself to be as a managing body,” Jacobson-Shulte said.
Sipila speaks on experiences within Wall Street Andrew Gnirk STAFF WRITER
Working on Wall Street is an incredibly demanding and potentially very rewarding career. One SCSU alumni, who lived this lifestyle for 15 years, spoke in Atwood Memorial Center on Nov. 6. Jouko Sipila was born and Minnesota in 1987 as a high school exchange student. He also went on to attend college in Minnesota at SCSU. “I was accepted to a Finnish engineering school, but decided to come to St. Cloud instead to study business,” Sipila said. “After taking a summer class with three hours of math in the morning, and three hours of physics in the afternoon for six weeks, business sounded a lot more fun than engineering.” He ended up meeting his wife while attending college in St. Cloud. After getting his undergraduate degree, Sipila decided to enter a graduate program at the University of Minnesota and get his MBA.
America was in a recession that so Sipila decided more schooling would be the best thing to do at that time. Sipila went on to spend 15 years working on Wall Street. He said it was a very taxing line of work, but he would do it again if given the chance. “Life of a banker is not easy, especially out in New York,” Sipila said. “Basically, it meant being at Then two or three times a week, you end up going out with clients, and getting home after midnight. You still had to be at the trading or not.” When Sipila worked in London with Wall Street, his schedule was even more demanding because of the time difference between New York and England. His personal health and well-being ended up suffering during this time. “It was good, especially on bonus day,” he said, “but as far as the
After this 15 year stretch of intense work, Sipila and his wife decided to reboot their lives and move back to Minnesota to do something simpler. Sipila decided to help start a publishing company. He is now the president of Ice Cold Crime, a publishing company that translates Finnish crime novels into English and sells them in America. The company hopes to have success with one of their books in the same way that the Swedish novel “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” sold so well. Sipila also leads the Minnesotan Finnish American Chamber of Commerce. The goal of this chamber is to facilitate business relations between Minnesota and Finland. Sipila took some time toward the end of his talk to give some business advice to students. He said students need to put in the hard work and long hours in order to succeed. Sipila also said students should always make sure they understand the motives of people they go into PRAVIN DANGOL/VISUALS EDITOR business with.

Voices of Sepharad performs at the Ritsche Auditorium on Thursday night. Each song has a story behind it.
Voices of Sepharad at SCSU Ryan Hanenburg MARQUEE EDITOR On Nov. 7, SCSU hosted a concert celebrating the Sephardic musical tradition, which is the music of the Sephardic Jews who lived all over the world. The musical tradition combines JudeoSpanish melodies with the styles of several different countries including Turkey, Bosnia, Morocco, and Greece. The concert was one event in a series exploring the Sephardic Jews who were exiled from Spain in 1492. The series is sponsored by several organizations including the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Education, other SCSU programs, and the Minnesota Institute of Arts. The band, Voices of Sepharad, is comprised of Mick LaBriola, the drummer; David Burk, guitarist; David Stenshoel, violinist; and David Jordan Harris, vocalist. Harris said that he learned the songs during the course of traveling to various countries. He learned in traditional communities from fellow performers rather than from books. Another point was that the traditional form of performance for these
songs was a capella, but they have been adapted with the use of instruments. The musical style was Judeo-Spanish, which emphasizes stringed instruments and a variety of hand percussion instruments. The drummer used many instruments, including a tom type drum, various hand drums, bongos, and tambourines. The guitarist displayed expertise with the oud, which is a traditional stringed instrument used in Jewish, Arabic, and Middle Eastern music. The melodies were reminiscent of background music heard in movies like “Aladdin” or other desert-based movies. The songs were all unique in their vocal styles, but ish strings and Jewish percussion is always present. The vocals varied in language and dialect based on the community they came from, and where the community was living at the time of inception. The song subjects were a mix of the everyday, the romantic, and the religious. Some talked about morning meals and summer afternoons, as well as love ballads, and songs about religious practices. There was also a
song called “Todos si hueron,” which means “They are all gone,” which was written by Flory Jagoda after being commissioned by Voices of Sepharad. The song is about her family that she lost in Bosnia. When asked why she came to the concert, Amy Wellman, a communications major, said that she was recommended to attend by her InterCommunication class. “This opened my eyes to things I had no idea about and that she enjoyed both the music and learning the history,” she said. Lisa Splittgerber, a professor of Spanish at SCSU and organizer for the concert, said that she heard about the band through a rabbi who asked her to teach about the Sephardim; the rabbi knew David Harris. She said that there were more events in the series coming up such as who would be showing Jews of Cuba” on Nov. 13 at Ringsmuth Auditorium in the Miller Center. The series of events began on Sept. 10 and will conclude on Dec. 4. Harris closed the concert by saying, “This music belongs to the world.”
Kenneth “Xclusive” Paryo knows how to please a crowd. The multi-talented dancer, singer, and comedian played Atwood Theatre Wednesday night. His show blended a stand-up act with a song-and-dance routine, sprinkled with creative audience participation and multi-media effects. Xclusive, who has appeared on television’s “America’s Got Talent” and “So You Think You Can Dance,” led off the evening with a poke at the Upper Midwest. “I’ve travelled a lot,” Xclusive said, “but now I can say I’ve really
corny one-liners. Xclusive parried every joke with a jab of his own. Then Xclusive began a second musical interlude, turning a sensual Trey Songz track into a ditty about breakfast. As he pretended to dangle a fresh piece of bacon over an audience member, several viewers were convulsing with laughter. Xclusive has an innate talent for physical comedy, and his well-developed routine showcased the best of this side. Another standout aspect of the performance was frequent audience involvement. Besides circulating in the theatre and calling for jokes, Xclusive beckoned four volunteers for a dance-off. With well-chosen club tracks, Xclusive evoked wild dance moves from the volunteers, and mingled with the participants in good humor. Xclusive pondered why only black people came up to dance. When one of the crowd said that white people don’t dance, Xclusive shot back, “White people can dance. Have y’all seen Miley Xclusive also joked about

Next up was a reinterpretation of the songs of Michael Jackson into a skit about stealing gum from Walmart as a child. Xclusive as clips from “The King of Pop” wove their way into his tale of woe. His evocative portrait of being locked in prison for the petty theft brought tears of laughter from the crowd. Xclusive showed incredible talent and drive in bringing life to the music through motion. Next up was a call for cheesy jokes, where audience members were free to shout out their own

He dub-stepped to “Somebody That I Used to Know,” and then kibbitzed with the audience about where people came from. Xclusive shared his own roots as being in Florida and Liberia, although he mostly grew up in Georgia. He showed good rapport with the crowd in cracking jokes about where audience members said they had roots. The wide background end to a night of an even wider base of talent, all contained within one man. The Xclusive show was a special treat for those who attended, and his future exhibitions are highly recommended.

‘Diana’ a tiresome tabloid mess best avoided Ashmika Patke MOVIE REVIEW “Diana” is a dramatic British documentary about the later years of the Princess of Wales, including her abrupt death. Released on Nov. 1, 2013, the movie runs 113 minutes and is rated PG-13 for brief strong language and smoking. “Diana” takes audiences into the extremely private life of the late Princess of Wales and her highly publicized premature death. The majority of the movie is an insider look at the late royal’s last two years following her divorce. The British-Australian actress, Naomi Watts, portrays the famous Princess of Wales, Diana Frances Spencer. The British actor, Naveen Andrews, portrays the Pakistani companion, Hasnat Khan. Cas Ansar portrays the Eygptian doctor companion, Dodi Fayed. The British child artists, Laurence Belcher and Harry Holland, portray the royal Princes, William and Harry, respectively. The movie received an unexpected overwhelmingly negative response from the British Press. Critics claimed it was “cheap and cheerless, car crash cinema.” Overall the movie is a uselessly lengthened tabloid.

Strangely enough, the English royal died in an avoidable car crash due to a useless tabloid chase. Similarly, this partiallyfactual movie is insulting, tarnishing the memory and legacy of the deceased royal. Much like the deadly tabloid chase is murderous, viewing this entire movie or any part of it will seem deadly. But rest assured, nothing bad should happen to its viewers. However, unexpected to the movie makers, the result is highly predictable. The public, as well as critics, would have been more interested
and approving of a complete biographical movie of the accomplished life of the marvelous royal from youth through royalty with royal marriage and family. Born into an aristocratic English family, Diana was The Honorable Diana Spencer. After marriage, she received the notorious titles, Duchess of Cornwall, Duchess of Rothesay, Countess of Chester and Baroness of Renfrew. She supported several various charities, helping people globally throughout her life and forging a path for women everywhere. Princess Diana wasn’t just
a wife, mother, and royal. She was an intelligent, kind, gentle, helpful, motivating and beautiful woman. She used her royalty and power to support people everywhere and help those in need easily gaining devotees for her numerous good deeds. Altogether she was a stunning royal in action and beauty. Her countless enthusiasts have been waiting for years and would be overjoyed to view a movie honoring and strengthening her memory. But this movie was far from praising her, as it hardly showed any of the greatness of this impressive royal. Instead this mundane documentary zooms in on her unsettling couple years, providing a harmful outlook and damaging impression of the Hopefully, a proper movie will be made to display her real self and well-done work to show future generations a true pioneer of our time. The screenplay is based on Kate Snell’s 2001 book, “Diana: Her Last Love,” and the movie is loosely based on the last couple years of the royal’s life. Kate Snell is a well-acclaimed British author, director and producer. The screenplay written by Stephen Jeffreys and was directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel. The movie was produced by Robert Bernstein and Douglas
Rae. It was distributed by Entertainment One. The movie premiered on Sept. 20, 2013 in the United Kingdom. The movie received $7,184,302 production occurred in Britain, particularly in Surrey, during 2011 and 2012. Her death is an example of the potential horrors tabloids can cause. But that doesn’t seem to restrict tabloids in the borderline stalking of celebrities. If anything, tabloids have increased their tactics to law-breaking just to capture celebrity photos. The least that can be done is for tabloids to lay off celebrities and give them their rightful privacy. My rating for the British drama documentary movie, “Diana” is 2/10. One star is for the documentary about the English royal. The other star is for Naomi Watts’ remarkably accurate performance as the Princess of Wales. Not only being a strikingly doppelganger, she assesses the role of late celebrity easily with the familiar serious but sincerely kind mannerisms of the British royal. Other than the well-acclaimed European actress’ performance, nothing else is worth viewing this movie. In fact, it’s recommended to refrain from wasting your time with this movie. Rating: 2 / 10
New York Gyro is tops Joshua D. Levine MARQUEE EDITOR The main thing to say about New York Gyro is: go eat there. Sooner, rather than later. As one of the closest restaurants to campus, New York Gyro provides the perfect dining option for SCSU students. The incredible food, great prices, convenient location and hours, and friendly staff combine to make an outstanding food experience. New York Gyro, just a few blocks southwest of SCSU at University Drive and 9th Avenue South, serves fresh and unique dishes for lunch and dinner. The hardworkEastern, Indian, or fast food meal in a short time at almost any hour, as the shop is open until 3 a.m. Most menu options are typical of similar Greek or Arabic cafes, with rice dishes, gyros, pita sandwiches, falafel, kabob, and baklava on offer. Additionally, New York Gyro has Indian choices, such as chicken biryani, and American standards, such as One unique concoction that comes highly recommended is the “Student French Fries”. These fries start with a typical layer of spuds, add on two kinds of gooey, melted cheese, and continue with special spicy tomato sauce and slivers of green onions. The house sauce alone is worth the the right mix of spice and warmth. The rich cheese was perfectly warmed onto the crisp fries, making a welcoming, hearty dish that’s a great value at $2.99. The falafel pita was also a bargain at $4.99, stuffed with freshly made falafel (golden fried chickpea batter), both house and white sauce, and crisp salad vegetables. New York Gyro offers an assortment of salads and diced toppings for all sandwiches. Besides falafel, choices include lamb and The falafel itself is freshly cooked to order, and its hearty texture and toasty, rich
ordering falafel dishes, allow seven or eight minutes for preparation. One difference from similar restaurants is that I didn’t see hummus on offer. It could have been hidden away, or I just missed it, but, there are so many other quality choices that patrons won’t feel lacking. To ensure that the falafel is consistently top-notch, I happily visited New York Gyro a second time and ordered the falafel rice. It was just as fresh and fantastic. I’m sure that between writing this article and seeing it published, I’ll have made several more visits to this fantastic eatery. The rice dishes, in the $6 to $7 range, can’t be beat for value and taste. The robust rice goes with your choice of protein and salad bar toppings, along with house or white sauce, or both. Staff will freshly shave meat off of the rotating shwarma skewer over the stove, or grill up other dishes on the always sizzling stove-top in the clean, modern kitchen area. It’s a treat to watch workers make your meal from behind the partition. Although the space is attached to a gas station, you wouldn’t know it from being inside. Clean, orderly, and well-lit, dining at New York Gyro is pleasant. The theme is, naturally, New York, with enormous skyline murals on the counter. It can get busy during rush times, but the staff is attentive and dedicated to getting your meal to you. With the extended hours, though, there’s no reason not to visit whenever you get a chance. To earn a perfect score in this column, a restaurant must demonstrate good to excellent qualities in all areas: food, price, service and atmosphere. New York Gyro was excellent across the board. There were no faults with New York Gyro on either of my visits, and thus it earns highest honors as one of our top restaurant picks in St. Cloud. Rating: 10 / 10

‘Hearthstone’ beta shows promise of great game to come VIDEO GAME REVIEW “Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft” is a new collectible card game, or CCG, from Blizzard Entertainment, the studio that made the “Warcraft,” “Starcraft,” and “Diablo” games. The game is part of the Warcraft universe and it utilizes characters and other lore elements as cards for the game. The game is currently in closed beta, but that hasn’t stopped it from setting the internet ablaze. There isn’t a lot of story, as is the norm for a CCG. The premise is that you are in a bar playing card games with strangers and friends. There is an announcer for the game that sounds like a bartender, but that’s pretty much the extent of the story elements for the game. The cards are all inspired by Warcraft heroes and monsters heroes that you play as having their own abilities. There are also quotes that your characters. The art style for the cards is highly reminiscent of the art for the previous “World universe. There are also several boards that the Warcraft world. The graphics are actually rather nice for a card game with shiny effects for each card when activated.
LYNN WEE CHAI / CONTRIBUTING PHOTOGRAPHER
Like most CCG’s, “Hearthstone’s” gameplay is where the development time was spent. The basic structure of the game is similar to that of “Magic the Gathering” with the use of “Mana” to summon minion cards and cast spell cards. However, unlike “Magic” there are no “land” cards in Hearthstone. Instead, you start off with one Mana, and gain one each turn. Cards
cost varying degrees of Mana and have more powerful effects the more they cost. Unlike traditional “Magic” you also choose a hero that you play as, which gets you a special ability that you can activate with Mana during the game. Heroes also into their decks. You build decks of 30 cards, and compete against either AI opponents or online players in order to get gold that you can use to buy booster packs which contain random cards. You can also compete in the Arena, in which you assemble a deck from randomly generated cards and compete until you lose three times. There are also quests that you receive daily which will give you a gold reward. These quests usually consist of either another gameplay element such as dealing damage to opposing heroes. Bottom Line: “Hearthstone” is delightfully addictive and in the current beta it’s currently
tion pool should only increase upon either release or open beta and it should have decent longevity for years to come. There are concerns that the game may have balance issues as you can purchase booster packs for real money as well as gold, but so far the matchmaking and ranking system similar skill levels. If you’re really worried about people buying all the best cards and winning constantly then you can always play Arena exclusively as the cards you buy can only be used in normal games. “Hearthstone” is currently in closed beta and you can opt-in for the beta test at http://us.battle.net/hearthstone. There is no release date currently announced nor is there an open beta announcement as of yet. Hearthstone will be available for PC and Mac with an iPad version in the works.

Moreover, the power play was yet again 0-for-5, but the Huskies did move the puck much better, and generated many scoring opportunities. The Huskies are now a dismal 3-for-32 on the power play in the early goings of the season. “We need our power play to obviously get going here because that’s going to be a big difference four us when we get it going,” Morley said. “We’re trying to be patient and not force things to early on and we just have to bury the puck when we get chances.” Max Cook gave the Redhawks the lead -

He had his third line matched up with the Redhawks top line for a majority of the night. And it went as well as Motzko hoped, until Barber found the back of the net for his ninth tally, putting his point total at 15. It put the Redhawks up 2-0. It came right off the face-off, as the Huskies weren’t quick enough to get out to stick side. “The goal before I was screened a bit, but this one was just a clean shot off the faceoff and it kind of caught me off guard,” “Not much I can do on being screened but Even though the Huskies held Barber to one goal, it wasn’t him who helped hand unlikely player who skates the blue line and has very little college hockey experience. collegiate goal, came off the stick of freshman defenseman Matt Joyaux, who slid it snuck down from the blue line unnoticed on a nice pass Sean Kurlay.

Huskies were dominating play, even though they only had eight shots on goal. It wasn’t until about 15 minutes in that the Redhawks found their legs and started to take control of the period. A majority of their shots came off transition play that seemed to catch the Huskies off guard. “They’re extremely quick with their guys up front being very shifty and we gave up the puck a lot,” Gravel said. “If you keep giving them the puck it doesn’t take long for a team to get odd man rushes.” Motzko said after last weekend’s sweep of North Dakota the team needed to work on the power play and unfortunately the Huskies were an abysmal 0-for-5 on the night. “Your power play has to score when it ko said. “There were so many missed passes, bobbled pucks, shots into shin pads and we had chances we just didn’t take advantage.” The speed of the Redhawks and their transition game is something Motzko said he’s going keep a close eye on when watching the tape so his team doesn’t end up making the same mistakes.

Part of the reason Murray was so successful last season as a freshman was because of his hustle and he wasn’t afraid to get in the corners to battle guys. “I have to use my speed to be successful, because if I’m playing slow I’m probably not doing too many things well,” Murray said. “Luckily that footrace was kind of up my alley and I’m glad I could help out the team.” It might’ve been a controversial call, but it was exactly what the doctor ordered, and what the Huskies needed to get the win because chances evaded them all weekend. “I didn’t see it I was busy yelling at someone, but I think we dodged a bullet,” Motzko said. “Jimmy Murray makes a big

But it the Huskies took three penalties in the second period, giving the Redhawks some daylight on the Olympicsized ice. “Dumb, dumb, penalties; we deserved every one of them,” Motzko said shaking his head. “We put ourselves in a tough situation in a 1-1 game and the penalty kill game up big.” Motzko had to go deep in his bench to kill off the hectic eight-minute stretch where the Huskies got three penalties, because Dowd got two of the penalties. Mostly Motzko rotates four forwards on the penalty kill. Since his top killer was in the sin bin he had to go to his young bench. Motzko says the team’s offense has to improve because they’re not producing like they should be at this point of the season, even though it’s still early. Scoring more Motzko will look for next weekend. The Huskies will travel to Huntsville, Ala. for a pair of non-conference games, and hope to get some guys going and some key players in the goal column.

“Once we hit a couple shots, it allowed us to establish the inside game,” Shlagel said. “Once one guy hit it, it expanded from there.” “We picked it up on defense, put a lot of pressure on their guards and their posts,” Cruz said. “That allowed us to transition it onto the offense too.” A physical back and forth second half would result in a Huskies 64-51 win, with the Huskies controlling the boards and perimeter shooting. SCSU went 9-29 from behind the arc compared to 3-17 posted by UNW. Senior forward Craggs led the Huskies with 13 points and missed the double-double by only one rebound.

Minnesota Vikings rally past Washington in nail-biter Derek Saar STAFF COLUMN
The Minnesota Vikings were able to do something they had failed to do all season: hold on to a slim lead late in the game. In another nationally televised game, the Vikings came away with a 34-27 victory over the Washington Redskins who fell to 3-6 for the year and earned just their second win of the season to improve to 2-7. at the half. What looked like another poor defensive outing for the Vikings was not to be in the second half, as the defense held Washington to just three points in the second half. both through the air and on the ground. With just over three minutes remaining in the game, Washington was able to put a drive together trailing by seven. With the ball inside the Vikings’ forced three consecutive incomplete passes in order to complete a game-winning goal line stand to seal the win. Head Coach Leslie Frazier made an interesting decision with 32 seconds remaining in the game. The Washington team was out of timeouts, but Frazier with the clock ticking down opted was visibly irate, pacing the sidelines. Frazier did so in order to give his defense, which has been stretched thin due to a long list of injuries, a chance to rest. Frazier’s questionable call ultimately worked out in the Vikings’ favor, something fans and players alike haven’t been able to say too often this season. 75 yards.

Quarterback Christian Ponder put together a solid performance before being injured late in the third quarter. Depending on the severity of the injury, Ponder might be able to play next week when the Vikings travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks, and is listed as questionable on the injury report for now. Playing on Thursday night is to Ponder’s advantage as it gives him extra time to heal compared to the typical Sunday game. Another key to the injury is that it is his non-throwing arm, which minimally impacts his performance when compared to the same injury on his throwing arm. If Ponder is not able to go, the Vikings quarterback carousel will continue with Former Viking wide out Percy Harvin will be returning to practice for the Seahawks this week leading up to next Sunday’s game. Harvin will try to be ready in time to face the Vikings, that was discovered during training camp.
