The speakers took the stage on schedule and the event went into full swing. St. Cloud mayor Dave Kleis said he was “proud” to take the stage again at Take Back the Night. “As a community, we believe that all residents must be part of the solution to eliminate crimes of sexual violence,” Kleis said. “I urge all citizens in our community to
participate in Take Back the Night.” The executive director of the Central Minnesota Sexual Assault Center, Peggy Ledoux, was very animated in taking the demonstration to the streets for the neighborhood to see. “I consider this event a real acknowledgment of the harsh reality that sexual violence happens in our families and our communities,” Ledoux said. She went on to discuss how this is a problem impacting many individuals and

Atwood Memorial Center celebrates renovation completion with ribbon-cutting ceremony Ryan Hanenburg STAFF WRITER
The renovations to the Atwood center were completed at the start of this school year. Students who returned to the building were practically entering a new building, with multiple changes to the layout. Matt Trombley, Associate Director of Atwood, said that the being at the start of the year was that it was, “Important to get the building open for the students.” The weekend was also pushed back because all the features of the renovation were not done until this week. For example, the tional Friday. The opening was helped by family weekend taking place this week. Some of the new features of Atwood are designated spaces to help student organizations get into a rehearsal studio for performance groups to practice in. Trombley aligned to be easier to locate. A theme for the new Atwood was “see and be seen”. This theme is the reason for the large amount of glass walls and paneling for the building. The color

scheme has also been reworked to make more use of school colors. Student reaction to the new center has been positive overall. Ta Ha Khan, a freshman, said that it was “Beautiful and great, it’s a nice space to be used for students to get together under one roof.” The event began at 10:00 a.m. with a self-guided tour; the staff provided a map which had a route outlined that showcases the new features of Atwood. There were free food samples at the new restaurant Vallhalla Bistro, including mini prime rib sliders. There was also free popcorn available at the Information Desk. There was also a prize drawing with prizes such as a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, a $25 Visa gift card, and SCSU sweatshirts. The ribbon-cutting ceremony began at noon with speeches by Margaret Vos, President Potter, Wanda Overland, Eric Peterson, Patrick St John, and Jessica Ostman. The speeches thanked all the various organizations and people who have had a hand in large team for the actual ribboncutting with members of various student organizations, faculty, and staff.

She went on to speak about how she was involved in a commune that moved to Southeast Asia, with her baby. She realized she could not survive in a foreign country and support her family. The commune leader told her they would not feed them unless she did what they told her to do. After Brown took the stage, sev-
eral survivors of sexual and domestic abuse went on stage to describe their experiences. The organizers of the event asked the crowd to not record or take photos at this time in respect for the speakers. A march then took place which walked all along the South Side Neighborhood. Organizers carried signs and shouted “Take back the night” as they continued up the street. The group went up 7th Avenue and crossed Division Street to go into Downtown.

Jim Graves addresses St. Cloud Joe Edmonds ASST NEWS EDITOR
Minneapolis businessman and SCSU alumni Jim Graves came to speak to the public about entrepreneurship and building a community. The SCSU graduate who ran for congress in 2012 against Michelle Bachmann spoke about how he climbed to success. He began addressing the crowd by discussing how he thinks the current tax code needs to be changed to allow middle level businesses to grow more; something he thinks will boost the economy by promoting more job growth. “My stance on the tax code is that it should be market neutral,” Graves said. “A tax code should not to do.” He said it should support the needs and involvements of the government. “When you have politicians deciding which company should get this, or which company should get that, that’s a problem,” Graves said. “Politicians always have He went on to mention that it is not the skill level of the American work force that is lagging. In fact, it is quite strong. The problem is that the middle class is struggling with not having a level
Graves also touched on the issue of immigration during the event. He favors having an organized assimilation of many people. “I’m not saying just give it (citizenship) to them, and not saying amnesty, but we need to have a reasonable pathway,” Graves said. “Until we do that, we don’t have equity and we don’t have justice.” He spoke about how many of the systems in place now promote inequality among the middle class. “The gap between the have and the have-nots is getting wider and wider,” Graves said. “That’s not healthy for society.” After Graves addressed the crowd he opened up the public forum where many of the audience members asked questions about his former political campaign and his business practices. One of the audience members asked whether Graves was able to get his message out to the public. Graves responded by saying that people would often tell him that their biggest con“In all deference, your biggest concern should be what are you making, and how are you doing,” Graves said. “This isn’t a partisan issue.” Another audience member asked about Graves’s stance on minimum wage. “If you raise minimum

Nabozny addresses bullying, LGBT acceptance Vicki Ikeogu NEWS EDITOR
Bullying does not just end with high school. As speaker Jaime Nabozny said during his presentation, “No Hate”, there is much more to this problem than what people are willing to admit, or for that matter, talk about. Sponsored by the Residential Hall Association and the LGBT organization on campus, Nabozny addressed his audience about his experiences about coming out in high school, being bullied, and challenging the school district that turned a blind eye to it. And as Sherburne Hall Director and co-adviser for the Residential Hall Association Kasie Weina said, there needs to be a much greater awareness about this issue. “Bullying doesn’t just stop once students leave high school.” Nabozny’s two hour presentation about Nabozny’s life and the challenges he faced growing up gay in a small Wisconsin town. Once people started to realize that Nabozny was gay in the seventh grade, they started calling him names. This quickly escalated into physical violence including being punched and tripped. Addressing the principal, Nabozny was reassured that the administration would handle the bullying he was receiving. However, little relief came for Nabozny. Faced with few options to silence his tormentors, the ny try to overdose. After receiving medical attention and psychiatric help for his suicide attempt, Nabozny returned to middle school in eighth grade. However, little had changed. After being attacked in the men’s room by his bullies, Nabozny’s mother demanded a meeting with the principal and her son’s bullies. However, the impression that she had received from the principal did not bring her any comfort. The principal seemed to side with the other boys, said Nabozny’s mom, Carol, in “She [the principal] said some-

Speaker Jamie Nabozny addresses the crowd about bullying. Questioning the usage of terminology such as “that’s so gay,” Nabozny said the main priority that needs to be taken away from this is the fact that this nation has a problem with acceptable language. “We need to teach diversity so everyone feels comfortable. It’s something to celebrate,” Nabozny said. In addition, Nabozny highlighted a major problem he feels is plaguing the country. “I don’t think we have a problem in this country and schools with homophobia. We have a problem in this country and our schools with sexism,” he said. Illustrating this point, Nabozny said he feels that kids spend a lot of time attacking each other about not
think they should. “It’s something we are not talking about at all,” he said. And this ties in a lot with bullying. Nabozny said dealing with sexism will add another comprehensive approach to bullying, and this will work best if the initiative comes from the students themselves. After all, Nabozny said, “Bullying is about insecurities.” “I think it gives students hope for the future,” said psychologist with CAPS Davin Maijala. “It was truly inspiring.” “As a society we don’t move forward unless we stand up and say something. As a campus, you need to make sure it is a safe and welcoming place,” Nabozny said.

The EEOC was founded due to a mandate in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and ever since then has been enforcing Equal Rights in the workplace. “The EEOC works with every employer no matter if it’s a public or private institution,” Flores said. “The EEOC also represents the employee, temp employee, and job applicant or former employee,” she also explained.

On Sept. 23, Maria Flores of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) came to SCSU to give a Presentation on National Origin and Immigrant worker Discrimination Issues. The topic has been a popular issue lately due to St. Cloud’s continual population growth. Orn Bodvarsson, dean of the school of Public Affairs, started the presentation by giving a brief introduction speech that set the tone for the presentation.

examples of discrimination in the workplace and how the EEOC determines that the employers are, in fact, treating their workers unfairly. There are many ways in which an employer can discriminate against workers. Flores explained that the discrimination is different treatment because of race, color, National Origin, religion, disability, sex, age, or other things. More common issues nowadays is if a worker has in English, and that can be another factor that are discriminated against in the workplace. Flores said, “Discrimination has to be proven to direct or circumstantial evidence.” Direct evidence would be like physical proof, and circumstantial is more of employee’s testimonies. “However, exceptions do exist,” she explained saying
that, “There is such a thing as a Bona Fide Occupational Maria gave an example of a BFOQ being, “like a requirement that the business has to have in its employers good physical condition.” She then touched on how the most vulnerable workers are immigrant workers, especially undocumented ones. One example she gave was how farms employ migrant workers and then threaten to send them home or report them to the authorities so that the employers could pay less and overlook the mistreatment of their employees. Gloria M.

Rocket Club fuses country and rock. Joshua D. Levine MARQUEE EDITOR Rocket Club took over the “Green Mill Bowl” Friday night, with their unique blend of Northwoods folk and country reverberating throughout the makeshift arena behind the Green Mill restaurant. The Minneapolis sextet performed as part of the ongoing “Celebrate! SCSU” series, bringing together alumni, students, staff, and community members in school spirit events. Rocket Club began just after dark on a muggy, cloudy evening, opening with “She’s the One”. This soulful, crisp song brought emotion to the venue, getting the thickening audience in the mood for the sincerely written beats to follow. The band picked up
with peppier tracks to follow, including a cover of Bad Company’s “Feel Like Making Love,” and their own “I Can’t Dance.” “One More Day” brought some melancholy to the arena, with a tribute to a Stop Signs and You” blended longing for a country hometown with the need to break Some lyrics were creative, others were straight out of the country handbook. “Happiness in life is hard to measure, and on that note let’s measure up another round,” the band crooned. The sweeping view of the back of the St. Cloud Kelly Inn and the St. Germain bridge overhead created an odd venue. The acoustics came out well, and the light show and heavy bass kept the audience dancing. Turnout

was low, approximately 100 people, but the concert was pulsing with the beer stand serving up all night long. Rocket Club played two full sets, featuring over two dozen tracks and rocking on for two and a half hours. The second set began with a peppy ode to spending seven days in Madison, and the band hit their stride with the Springsteen-esque tracks to follow. Whether rocking out on stage or throwing free t-shirts to the crowd, the band enjoyed being there, and came all out with smooth vocals, mellow rock tones, and honeyed country melodies. Seth Toupal, a senior majoring in Mass Communications, heard about the show through band member Chris Hawkey’s Twin Cities radio program. Toupal, a big fan of Rocket Club, eagerly looked up the show online and brought his dad along, as well. that I’ve seen of them,” Toupal offered. “I love it,” said the beaming SCSU student. “It’s a great spot for a concert. It’s too bad there wasn’t a better turnout.” Indeed, the space behind the Green Mill abutting the river was far from capacity. Although the crowd was
lively, and the show phenomenal, there was room for hundreds more fans. Speaking the day before the show, David L. McCandless, Assistant Director of Campus Programs & Spirit Groups, said that this is the third year of Celebrate! events at SCSU, and that campus visit. Celebrate! offers spirit and community activities throughout the year, including the Lemonade Art Fair in summer and the Earth Day Half Marathon in spring. The Rocket Club concert fell in conjunction with fall Celebrate! events. McCandless considers Family Weekend, of which the concert was a part, to be the anchor event of Celebrate! Other Family Weekend activities included the Blizzard Shack event on Thursday and the football game on Saturday. The events involve a diverse array of people, and are open to anyone interested in attending. “Our mission is to engage all of these groups,” McCandless said. “We’re trying to engage alumni for sure, students for sure, faculty, staff. We’re trying to bring all these groups together, and the greater Central Minnesota community.” Last year it was calculated that 15,000 people
attended Celebrate! events. McCandless estimates there are 17,000 SCSU alumni in the local tri-county area. Kristin Hatten, Interim Associate Director of Alumni & Constituent Engagement, sees Family Weekend as a boost to the St. Cloud area. “We’re collaborating with the downtown council. We have about 15 businesses participating and offering specials to students and families.” Hatten estimated that roughly 100 people would visit from out of town speShe said that guests could arrange special rates with certain local hotels. Adding to the theme of local connections, Assistant Director McCandless said that “this concert is a partnership between the alumni relations area, Pioneer Place on 5th, and Green Mill.” Concert attendees ordering tickets ahead of time were queried as to whether they were SCSU students or alumni, and those buying tickets day of show were asked the same question as not available, but an informal count revealed very few students attended the concert.

STAFF WRITER In its relatively early state, “Survive and Thrive: Start with the Heart” is already a nationally recognized organization, and is being used as a prototype for future conferences. The conference is in its second year, and is unique in that it doesn’t solely focus on medical education, but is a mixture of professional information, and the use of humanities working through medicine. “Survive and Thrive: Start with the Heart” came about through Rex Veeder, a teacher, mentor, and rhetoric connoisseur. A personal experience Veeder had made him think about how he could help the many who have a story to tell. “I had a dream and a vision of a community who would come together and not only help save lives, but provide support for those affected,” Veeder said. “I realized that in some way peak aesthetic experiences with art, writing, sharing and music provided a way not only to talk about and work with these things but the byproduct of doing it is actually healing.” Moreover, what is unique about this conference is that it’s not setup as a regular academic conference. People who stated they had a life transforming experience last year came from the workshops and sessions, where people sat and worked through ideas and shared their own stories about suffering and joy. “It turned out a lot different than we had thought because we did have it setup as an academic conference last year,” Veeder said. “The conference can be extremely powerful and the focus is a lot better in the design of the conference, which we have been working on for the last nine months.” The idea of Survive and Thrive: Start with the Heart is to have a
community of all walks of life come together and engage with each other, who are all equal and have the chance to be heard, whereas before they might not have had the chance to be heard. The distinctive conference is unlike many, because the presenters and artists will not give their presentations and leave; rather, they will be participants of the entire conference, attending other sessions and being involved with the community. Renowned poet Jimmy Santiago Baca will be one of the keynote speakers, and he integrates the Survive and Thrive mentality in his daily life. The idea of community and sharing experiences rather than taking a pill is an idiosyncratic method he gives much praise to. “The whole idea of solving your life with a pill doesn’t seem to be working too well,” Baca said. “The conference to me is a community of like spirited, like-minded people who approach living in a different way.” Medical science has traditionally been all about collecting data and making judgments according to the previous taken data. “Survive and Thrive: Start with the Heart” is about making meaning, interpreting, and sharing stories, because stories seem to resonate more and can be a powerful thing. Sharing stories helps more than a variety of ways; especially instituting change. Justin Bell, Government Relations Director for the American Heart Association, gets the opportunity to work with survivors, and believes this conference is essential in the healing process. Bell hopes that what comes from this conference is for survivors to realize how important their stories are because part of his job entails using stories to create the public policy agenda for Minnesota. “It’s a unique concept because
the idea of combing medicine, science, and humanities into one experience is a unique approach,” Bell said. “Survivors’ narratives help create public policy and informing the community together is important.”

The conference focuses on medical humanities and healing. To get more than the St. Cloud community and the people who attend involved, a Digital Conference will be held on Oct. 18.

It will be a back-channel conference with extensive in-time reporting, tweeting, blogging, and posting on Facebook on sessions as they are happening, so people will be interacting in real time.

SCSU re-opens Herb Brooks National Hockey Center STAFF WRITER
The brand new glass atrium was jammed packed with about 1,000 people for the grand re-opening of the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center on Saturday evening. On hand were many of the donators that were essential to making the project happen, including Dan Mabel; Chris Coborn; Russ Hagen; and Michael and Rose Ann Faber, who are the owners of Viking Coca-Cola. Between the families and businesses, each donated one million dollars to the renovation. Keynote speakers included SCSU Student Government President Eric Petersen;
St. Cloud State University President Earl H. Potter III; Dan Brooks, son of the late Herb Brooks; SCSU men and women’s hockey captains Nic Dowd, Amy Olson, and Bob Motzko, head coach of the men’s hockey team. “It’s our time, your team,” Motzko preached to the crowd. Also on hand, St. Cloud Mayor Dave Kleis, former Senator Taryl Clark, and representative Zachary Dorholt. After the ribbon was cut by President Potter, season ticket holders got a chance to pick up their tickets, tour the hockey center, and get autographs from players from both the men’s and women’s teams. Renovations include a new atrium with several murals, 14 new luxury suites, a new team store, a new club for season ticket holders, new locker rooms, training rooms, and concession stands.

Women’s hockey beats Japan Olympic team 4-3 Sean Davich STAFF WRITER
It’s not too often that you get to see an Olympic team in your building, especially a team from another country. As for SCSU, this could be the momentum builder they needed to go into the new season. The Huskies recovered from an awful start and made the most of their exhibition match with the Japanese Olympic team, prevailing 4-3 in a shootout and dropping Japan to 0-2 on their three-day WCHA tour.

On Wednesday, it was different, start-

SCSU women’s hockey was back in action on Saturday night with a solid 3-0 victory over the University of British Columbia at the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center. The win brings the Huskies to a 2-0 record in the pre-seaheading into the regular season. “UBC was a great opponent as far as playing like a head coach Jeff Giesen. Giesen’s statement would prove true, with a total of 13 penalties that occurred throughout the three periods. However, the Huskies didn’t seem to be phased by being a man down seven times, recording a perfect 7 out of 7 in penalty kills, and scoring shorthanded in the process said. “We get into our league and it’s going to be tough to score goals, so defensively we are going to have to be good. The Huskies would eventually take a 1-0 lead late in the sneak through BCU goaltender Danielle Dube. Gilbert’s goal coming at 17:25, from the slot, was assisted by freshman Kelsey Saelens and junior Audrey Hanmer. BCU 1-0, out-shooting the Thunderbirds 13-10, and had two penalties compared to BCU’s one. The second period turned out to be much of the same story for the Huskies, who were lifted by a power-play goal late in the period by sophomore Vanessa Spataro. The goal came off of a one-timer by Hanmer and fed to her by freshman Caroline Markstrom, which trickled through the The Huskies dominated the shots department in the second period with 18 compared to BCU’s 8, and matching one another with three penalties. SCSU starting goaltender Katie Fitzgerald concluded goals allowed. Junior goalie Julie Friend would complete the rest of the game.

That goal would wind up being the lone score of the period, resulting in a 3-0 win for the Huskies in regulation. The Huskies came out of the preseason exhibition over the past few seasons. “I think this is a really good start for us, getting a couple Hanmer said. “We’re feeling pretty good right now, because we got happy with where we are at as a team right now, and I The Huskies will begin the regular season with a nonconference series against Quinnipiac University at home this coming weekend. Quinnipiac is coming out of the preseason with a 1-0 record, out-shooting the University of Guelph 43-8 in the competition. “They are going to be a pretty strong team, they were One thing will be certain for the Huskies this weekend; they will have to watch out for Quinnipiac’s senior forward Kelly Babstock. She has recorded 55 points in 2012-2013 and trails only Christine Bestland (Mercyhurst) for active leaders in points among Division 1 players. Babstock also returns for her senior season with the most career goals of any returning Division 1 player with 76.

After 40 years; Schlagel chooses to retire Mark Schrom STAFF WRITER
The announcement was made Sept. 16 that SCSU head basketball coach Kevin Schalgel would be retiring at the end of this season. Schlagel has been a part of the program for the better part of 40 years. He played basketball under former head coach Noel Olson from 1972-76 and became an assistant coach beginning in 1980. He was the top assistant for 18 seasons before being named the program’s head coach in 1997. After he became the head coach, Schlagel eventually became the men’s basketball coach with the most wins in school history. He has compiled a 321-149 win/loss record coach, and his teams have averaged 20 wins a season during his tenure. “There is a lot of things that went into my decision, not one thing pushed me to my “The timing was just right.

SCSU Athletic Director Heather Weems said a national search for Schlagel’s replacement will begin sometime during this upcoming season. Schlagel knows that the university has to head coach, but he hopes assistant head coach Matt Reimer will be his successor. Reimer has been with the program since 19951996 and he has been an assistant to coach Schlagel during Schlagel’s entire tenure as head coach. “I’m certainly endorsing Matt [Reimer] behind the scenes, but it is the administration’s decision.

Rugby is one more sport you can come and watch out in St. Cloud. The Fighting Carp, the and the fall season has just started for them. This Saturday they were playing a game against Mankato (Minnesota State University) ‘The game went relatively well. We ended in a tie against Mankato, 20-20. On a traditional, rainy, cold day for rugby, we came into the game hoping and expecting to win because we won in our preseason game against the same team. We had some great tackling and ball movement, yet a few costly mistakes hurt in the end,’’ said St. Cloud State Men’s Rugby President, Reid Larson. Larson especially complimented team’s prop, Tom Casey, and scrum-half, Charley Nguyen. Both of them scored a try in this game. ‘’They played great and it was a fun game. We were disappointed in the score, but we still have a lot of rugby left. Our next home game is on Oct. 13.’’ When it comes to this fall season, ‘’We won hoping to get many more wins with the talent

The SCSU rugby squad bounced back strong after a tough loss last week.
Last Saturday’s game was really hard for our team. They were playing with University of Minnesota Duluth and it didn’t go the way they had hoped it would. ‘’We did take a tough loss to Duluth a week ago that will set back our hopes for a run at playoffs,’’ Larson said. Also, he emphasized that they didn’t get as many recruits as they expected. They are constantly trying to recruit more people to join the team and the sport of rugby. ‘’We do have a great group of guys and we hope we can make the best of the season and
grow as a team and as a brotherhood.’’ The main difference between this and last year for this team, is that they have more committed players this year. ‘’Players that have a true want to win and We feel like this year we can really make a bigger impact in our conference and hopefully get to a point where we can move on in the playoffs,’’ Larson said and continued: ‘’In our game against Duluth, I would have to say that some of the key contributors would have to be the leaders in the forwards, such as Tom Casey, Luke Morgan, and Blake Fossness, who made a great impact in the game and gave it their all throughout the entire game even though we were down and really had a slim chance of winning. Although we did end up losing big, we have held our heads high as we know UMD are the Division 2 National Champion Runner-ups. They have a very good, experienced, and talented squad that will make a run at the championship again this year. “ They looked at this game as a chance to grow as a team and as inspiration to make a difference in the rest of the season while they try to beat the rest of the teams in the conference. The team has an executive board and a head coach whom all help with planning, fundraisers, and public relations. They try to have each member work on different projects individually that they as a group have decided on going through with and working on. The Fighting Carp hold training on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5 to 7 p.m. “When our Coach takes us through drills exercises. We also simulate game scenarios where we try to simulate how we will implement our game plan into whatever we come against,’’ Larson said. Anyone is free to join rugby team, they recruit new players all year long. All students have to do is to come and practice with the team.
