The Marriage Amendment was turned down when Minnesota voted on Tuesday, which could lay the path for LGBT groups toward one of their ultimate goals.

If passed, the amendment would have made any civil union that was not between a man and a woman illegal.

The race for the

amendment on Tuesday was close all night long; as each polling station reported, the balance was tipping one way or another.

Eventually it was declared defeated by a vote of 51 percent to 48 percent. Blank answers counted as a “No” for the amendment.

Same-sex marriage was already illegal in Minnesota after the Defense of Marriage Act was passed in 1997. This amendment would have

made it illegal under the Constitution of Min-nesota.

There have been similar proposed con-stitutional amendments in many other states. Minnesota is the second state to turn down such an amendment, Arizona JMQVO�\PM�ÅZ[\�QV��but when it resurfaced IOIQV�QV�� Q\�_I[�passed.

Former President Bill Clinton said Sunday that he is more behind President Barack Obama now than _PMV�7JIUI�ÅZ[\�ZIV�NWZ�president four years ago.

Clinton spoke to a par-tisan crowd in the Atwood ballroom Sunday night in an effort to rally support for President Obama on Elec-tion Day.

Clinton praised Obama, saying he is even more behind him, now that he has been able to see what

Obama can do as president, but said there is still work to be done before Tuesday.

“There are still votes to be gotten, people to be persuaded,” Clinton said.

Praise from the former president fell mainly on Obama, however, he did UISM�UMV\QWV�WN �\PM��\P�District race shortly after Jim Graves, DFL-St. Cloud, introduced him.

Clinton thanked Graves for taking on an important battle to try and replace Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Stillwater, in Congress. Graves understands real

economics and he under-stands that “we’re all in this together” is a lot better than “you’re on your own,” Clinton said.

Sen. Al Franken warmed up the crowd and began with what would be one of the main mes-sages repeated continu-ously throughout the night: spread the word and get out and vote.

/ZI^M[�[XWSM�JZQMÆa�JM-fore Clinton took the stage and stressed the importance of getting out and voting.

“This election is going to be won by you in the

room, right here, the young folks,” Graves said.

The line snaked its way through the main level of Atwood, outside past the Performing Arts Center and the Miller Center and started to stretch down Fifth Avenue shortly before the doors were opened. The line began forming several hours before the event.

The fact that close to

Your name, address and phone number are all legal for SCSU to have made public, which can be used for many purposes.

A student’s dates of enroll-ment are also made public, as well as their email address, and can be found in the staff and student directory.

All this is legal due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, which spells out what a school can, and can’t, release publicly about a student.

Schools operate under strict policy with FERPA, but can release information re-garding a student for legitimate educational purposes, if a student is transferring schools, or to specialized individuals for auditing or evaluation pur-poses, including several other instances.

¹;\]LMV\[�KIV�ÅTT�W]\�I�form to restrict their infor-mation,” said Jerry Bulisco, assistant dean of students. “They can go to the Registrar’s WNÅKM�IVL�ZMY]M[\�\W�PI^M�Q\�restricted.”

Bulisco continued to say that choices for what a student restricts about themselves is “a menu.”

“You can say ‘I don’t want my phone number listed,’” Bulisco said.

SCSU also pays attention to Minnesota law under the Government Data Practices Act.

This law dictates what kind of information can be passed around about a student. This QVKT]LM[�QVNWZUI\QWV�[]KP�I[�Å-VIVKQIT�IQL�[\I\][�IVL�ÅVIVKQIT�aid records.

The type of information that can be released by this law is only used between insti-tutions, such as transfer data, accrediting organizations or groups that conduct research for or on behalf of the school.

A consent form will usually be given for the student to sign, however there are some exceptions.

The most common occur-rences of this take place when a student would transfer from one school to another.

In extreme situations, if a student has put themselves or their community in danger, certain information can be released.

The Center for Interna-tional Studies handles the information they receive in a very delicate manner.

“We follow standards set by not only FERPA and the Data Practices Act, but we also have to follow outlines drawn by [US Immigration and Customs Enforcement],” said 2IKY]MTTQVM�6IOQTI��LQZMK\WZ�for International Student and Scholar Services. “We deal with a lot of sensitive informa-tion.”

As Minnesotans casted their votes on Election Day, voters said “no”…twice.

Minnesota rejected two Republican-backed amendments and voted for Demo-cratic leadership, giving the DFL a legislative majority.

past four months to explain the effects the amendment could have.

“There is no reason for the additional barriers; we have a good system in place,” Bergstrom said.

Bergstrom also said that the original poll asking Minnesotans whether they were for or against requir-ing voter ID was vague and misleading. This poll showed 80 percent in favor of the amendment just last year.

After Our Vote Our Future spoke with voters, many realized the negative effects it would have for students, senior citizens, and those in the military, Bergstrom said.

Students played a major

role in the defeat of the amendment, Bergstrom said. College students participated in campaign efforts and were a key de-mographic in opposition for the amendment.

SCSU political science professor Stephen Frank pointed to what he believes was the real goal behind the amendment.

“Republicans sought to raise issues that would ap-peal to conservative voters,” Frank said.

Frank also said that supporters for the voter ID amendment often say that they didn’t have enough funding and that the oppo-sition was misleading.

“In reality, those that were opposed to voter ID won because they had a broader base and made a better case,” Frank said.

Frank also suspects that some in favor the voter ID amendment seek to disen-

franchise certain groups of voters.

A state-wide survey done by SCSU pointed to-ward the defeat of the voter ID amendment just weeks before the election.

Interviews were con-ducted from Oct. 15-21 at the SCSU survey lab, and revealed that 52 percent of those surveyed were for the amendment and 55 percent were against, +/- 5 percent.

Rep. Mary Kiffmeyer (R-Big Lake), the primary author of the legislation that put the amendment on the ballot, said that the op-position said a lot of untrue things that confused people.

“They kept saying ‘It could cost money’ ‘It could limit the number of voters.’ It was all very vague,” she said.

Kiffmeyer also said that ProtectMyVote, a political fund aimed at passing the amendment, never made

the money it needed to keep up with the opposition.

ProtectMyVote.com raised $1.5 million for its campaign; about half that of Our Vote Our Future.

Kiffmeyer still thinks voter fraud is a problem and hopes that Governor Dayton will reconsider the amendment.

“It’s kind of like a sieve; if the hole is too big, fraud can slip through,” she said. “The Minnesota voting system is a mistake waiting to happen.”

As of now, it remains unclear what Republicans will do with the amendment after losing the Legislature. Governor Dayton has asked that the amendment be sent back to the legislature and redrafted.

“I’m going to take the governor at his word,” Kiffmeyer said. “Let’s work together.”

Junior Mike Mueller said having Clinton come to campus and discuss issues facing Minnesotans made him even more excited for the upcoming election.

The Obama campaign was not alone in making Minnesota a destination for political heavy-hitters Sunday, as vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan made a campaign stop in the Twin Cities.

Ryan spoke to a group of nearly 6,500 in a hangar at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Regional Airport.

Ryan’s visit marks the ÅZ[\�\QUM�\PM�:WUVMa�:aIV�campaign has hosted a pub-lic event in Minnesota since the start of the general elec-tion. The crowd was also the largest solo crowd Ryan has drawn on the campaign trail to date.

“We didn’t lose,” said Christopher Benjamin, a member of the LGBT Re-source Center at SCSU. “It didn’t change anything, we just didn’t lose.”

LGBT community mem-bers say it is important to use this positive energy toward legalizing same-sex marriage.

“What’s nice is that we don’t have to react against this amendment being passed,” said Benjamin. “Instead we can be more active now.”

Another thing Benjamin stressed was that there were other issues that are also im-portant the LGBT community.

“If same-sex marriage is legalized it doesn’t do anything for the 15-year-old being bul-lied at school,” Benjamin said. “We still have to keep enthusi-asm for the community.”

Photo story by Olga Rudak

As Election Season came to a close and I poked my head out from under my blankets I found that the world was not burning.

In fact, the world even seemed to be turning.

How can that be? I thought the icky Democrats won this one, only to impose their liberal sanctions on the masses. (This is a satire.)

Barack Obama has won. A new age of socialism was sup-posed to sweep over God’s land.

Fire and brimstone were sup-posed to rain from the sky and Rome should have fallen into ashes, but it didn’t.

Has the media lied to me?No. The media does not lie.

Reliable sources like Fox News, and I guess CNN, have a spot-less track records when it comes to accuracy.

What is all this though? The amendment to the constitution stating same-sex marriage would be illegal did not pass in Min-nesota as well as marijuana has poisoned the minds of the once good people of Washington and Colorado. A state named after one of our founding fathers should know better.

At least Michele Bachmann won with her good Christian values. (I cannot stress how satir-ical this piece is.) I like the way she can get to the bottom of

any scandal, even if there is no evidence whatsoever.

I used to have hope for America.

There is a sign I pass on my way down to The Twin Cities that reads: “You can keep your guns and money, I’ll keep the change.”

Every time I read it I smile a little bit. (Seriously, none of this is real.)

‘That’s the road America should be going down,’ I think to myself whenever I see it. ‘Communism won’t be knocking on my doorstep anytime soon with them around.’

I think the good American’s only problem is not being able to connect with each other. We all live so far away out in the

country we never even see our neighbors.

So how can we wage war against not seeing our neigh-bors?

What I like to do is take my snowmobile over to my neigh-bor’s estate so we can hunt deer. Only for sport though, we have grocery stores for a reason.

Maybe you don’t have a

snowmobile. Just take the the ATV over, its all the same. Maybe you broke your ATV, just take your truck over. (I don’t have any of those things.)

In all seriousness, I’m glad \PMa�ÅVITTa�TMOITQbML�XW\��6W_�those drug addicts that like the woods behind my house will stop leaving their needles every-where.

I’m sure many of us are glad that the MTMK\QWV�Q[�ÅVITTa�W^MZ�

Finally, we can watch television without being bombarded with political advertisements. Finally, we can watch YouTube without having to eagerly click “skip ad”, as Michele Bachmann or the Democratic Party tells us how much they despise their opposition. Finally, the KWV[\IV\�XWTQ\QKIT�ÆaMZ[�_QTT�[\WX�JMQVO�delivered to homes every day. We can walk to our mailboxes without wanting to [M\�\PMU�WV�ÅZM��.QVITTa��XWTQ\QK[�Q[�W^MZ��

Well not really. Politics is never over, no matter how many people turn it off after the election.

Now that the election is over, hopeful-ly the Senate and the House can actually work together in order to avoid the much LZMILML�¹Å[KIT�KTQNN º��_PQKP�MY]I\M[�to the Bush Era tax cuts ending, the 2 percent payroll tax deduction ending, along with massive cuts to entitlement programs, FEMA and defense spending.

All of these end essentially at the same time, which some suspect would cause a perfect storm, resulting in a deeper recession than the one we cur-rently face. The federal government dealt with the American economy pretty much the same way I deal with many of my school assignments: watch YouTube, drink beer, hang out, and procrastinate until the very last minute; until I have to ÅVQ[P�Q\�_Q\P�UW]V\QVO�XZM[[]ZM��IVL�]V-relenting stress looming overhead.

Politics has become so overtly parti-san over the last few years that compro-mise within the federal government has become almost extinct, except when it QV^WT^M[�IV�]VY]M[\QWVML�NMLMZIT�XW_MZ�grab (see the NDAA). The government passing less legislation can be a good thing. However, it’s unfortunate that Americans must hold on with bated breath as we watch the government try to solve problems that they created. Both sides of the political spectrum have to ÅVL�I�_Ia�\W�JQ\M�\PM�J]TTM\�[W�\PI\�_M�KIV�ZI\QWVITTa�ZM[WT^M�W]Z�TWWUQVO�ÅVIV-cial woes. Politicians cannot continue to feed us this FOX News, MSNBC para-digm that has divided political discourse

throughout our country.Despite all of the threats that the

2012 election brought about, some positive changes occured within the landscape of this country. Most of which did not involve people who were elected. Minnesota voted NO on a constitutional ban of gay marriage, while Maryland, Maine and Washington approved mar-ZQIOM�MY]ITQ\a�TMOQ[TI\QWV�

This is a positive step in getting the government out of our bedroom. Mar-riage is nobody’s business except for the two adults that are partaking in it. I never understood the reason for legislating against gay marriage. I get that people are opposed to it, and why they are, but marriage is still none of the government’s business, or anybody else’s. I don’t under-stand why it affects other people that are W]\[QLM�WN �\PM�KWVÅVM[�WN �\PI\�XIZ\QK]TIZ�marriage. If you don’t like gay people, don’t go to their wedding. Simple as that.

Not only was Tuesday’s election a win for gay marriage, but it was also a success for recreational marijuana use. Colorado and Washington both approved of recre-I\QWVIT�TMOITQbI\QWV��<PM[M�[]KKM[[M[�IZM�victories for freedom, and show a shift of social liberalism throughout the country. Liberals and libertarians alike can both rejoice in these victories. Although these may not be victories for social conserva-tism, republicans should proclaim these votes as victories for a smaller and less intrusive government.

Amy Klobuchar got re-elected in a landslide despite her co-sponsoring of SOPA/PIPA legislation which led web-sites like Wikipedia, Google, and many others to show an extremely rare choreo-graphed online protest last year. Michele Bachmann narrowly got re-elected, despite her spending less time legislating and doing her job and more time being a keynote speaker in Pat Robertson’s base-ment.

Barack Obama got re-elected despite his poor economic record and his hawk-ish, drone strike laden foreign policy the left pretends isn’t happening. Despite all of that, we have the government we deserve; we have the government we elected. The incumbents’ opposition was not intriguing enough for Minnesotans to change their minds. All we can do now is hope that our politicians can work to-gether like adults to help lead our coun-try in the right direction… hopefully.

UPB’s kick-off of the Local Live Music Series started this past Thursday with break-through bands Love Out Loud and Challenger.

The series will have a collec-tion of seven bands total, each representing a different genre, throughout this school year. Each show will be free of charge and take place in the Atwood Memorial Center Quarry and run from 7:30 p.m.-9:30 p.m. The series will have two bands for each show, and each band will play about a 45-minute set.

Erika Blank, a UPB member in charge of the music for the Local Live Music Series, said that the series was created in order “to reach out to all differ-ent students’ music interests”. Besides reaching out to a variety of musical interests among SCSU students, UPB wants to highlight affordable local bands. “A lot of people don’t think that Minnesota has good local bands that are affordable, and we do,” Blank said.

Challenger is an electronic/dance band that is headed by

Chris Burton from Milwaukee, Wis. Burton has an easy-going, energetic vibe on stage that gets the crowd involved with his heavily beat-based music. During his set, silly string was sprayed across the crowd as they screamed with enthusiasm. Burton used the clapping of the crowd as a base beat to the be-ginning of one of Challenger’s songs. This type of constant high-energy crowd interaction really got the students hyped for more.

With the crowd stimulated and ready for more, the head-liner band Love Out Loud came on stage. This band is made up WN �Å^M�UMUJMZ[#�,QTTWV�2WVM[�Q[�\PM�UIQV�^WKITQ[\��2W[P�+T]\\MZ�Q[�TMIL�O]Q\IZQ[\��5Q\KPMT�2WPV[WV�plays the drums, Nate Flynn is \PM�JI[[Q[\��IVL�2ISM�2WPV[WV�Q[�also on guitar. Love Out Loud is from the Twin Cities and their love for entertaining and being on stage chatting with the audi-ence makes them very approach-able and down-to-earth while still maintaining their profession-alism and dedication to music. Their set included a mixture of popular cover songs, along with some of their own.

The band members are a

real humorous bunch and they liked to tell the audience funny facts about themselves, stories, or even jokes between playing [WVO[��2WVM[�UILM�I�[XMKQIT�LMLQ-cation to Garvey Commons after explaining how he got the “St. Cloud State experience without having to pay for it,” by staying with a friend in Holes Hall for a few weeks a couple of years ago. The endearing melodies and en-ergetic rhythms were reminiscent to that of Secondhand Serenade.

If pop or electronic/dance music isn’t the genre of your taste you can look forward to future shows and genres that will be a part of the Local Live Music Series. The next show will be Dec. 6 in the Atwood Quarry at 7:30 p.m. and the genre for that particular night is going to be rock.

Minnesota’s favorite local boy paid a visit to his home state on Nov. 7. He gave his fans a show that will be remembered, not for gaudy theatrics or overplayed classics, but for the legend performing on stage that is Bob Dylan.

Dylan made his fourth appearance at the Xcel Energy Center. He performed in front of a crowd of about 7,000 people, who were to see the artist do what he does best.

This was not the typical headlining concert that the Xcel Energy Center is accus-tomed to; no smoke machines, no over-stimulating light show, and certainly no stage dives. Nope, just a man with a band on stage sharing his music with the fans who appreciate it.

The 71-year-old musician took the stage at 8:30 p.m. and opened up with “I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight”. For fans expecting to hear the classic Dylan voice heard through the annals of his music career, this concert was not the place to

hear it.After over half a century

of playing music, constructing 35 studio albums, and smoking countless cigarettes during all WN �\PMU��Q\�Q[�KWUXTM\MTa�R][\QÅ-able to have a slight vocal cord change that Dylan and his fans have appropriately adjusted to.

Hearing his coarse, raspy, and very aged voice is a unique experience. Only with a musical resume as experienced and credible as his own could Dylan get away with several standing ovations and still have the voice like he does.

His playlist was com-plimented by a very well-practiced band that helped reign in decades of hits. Mark 3VWXÆMZ�WN �,QZM�;\ZIQ\[�PI[�been touring with Dylan as the opening act for his North America tour. He joined the band playing guitar, adding his expertise to the next three songs “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright”, “Things Have Changed”, and “Tangled up in Blue”.

With the release of his latest album “Tempest”, debuting while he was on tour, Dylan has seldom played

the new tracks off his 2012 album. However, being in his home state, he found the time to squeeze in “Early Roman Kings”, a song that Dylan has never performed live until [\WXXQVO�QV�;\��8I]T�

Dylan still showed signs of life as a performer, going as far as standing up, walking

around, and at least looking like he was having a good time on stage. He proved his skills with a harmonica and piano during the next tracks “A Hard :IQV¼[�)�/WVVI�.ITTº��¹;]U-mer Days”, and “Blind Willie McTell”.

It has become expected at Dylan concerts that he is

going to strictly show up, put on a show, then get ready for the next one. He addressed the crowd only once dur-ing the end of “Highway 61 Revisited”, and that was him introducing the band.

The show ended with some

heavy-hitting classics, includ-QVO�¹4QSM�I�:WTTQVO�;\WVMº��“All Along The Watchtower”, and “Blowin’ In the Wind”. The entire crowd was on foot and singing along with the leg-endary musician like they have known him their entire lives.

Mavis, a curiously

adventurous teenager, is celebrating her 118th birthday and is both excited and anxious to explore the human world.

To celebrate Mavis’s 118th birthday, Dracula invites some of the world’s most famously scary mon-sters: Frankenstein and his bride, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, a family of werewolves, and more. Mavis is as psyched for her 118th birthday and being a legal vampire adult, as it is quite similar to a human girl’s 18th birthday.

Everything seems fun and scary until a human, 2WVI\PIV��;IUJMZO��IK-cidentally falls into their world. The monster world could come crashing down when a strangely quirky backpacker accidently stumbles through the hidden

entrance to the monster world. He is completely oblivious to the truth of his actual location. As if this isn’t horrifying enough for the monsters, especially Dracula, Mavis and Jona-than are smitten with each other. The hidden truth of

Dracula’s extreme protec-tion for Mavis is revealed in the climax.

<PM�ÅZ[\�QV[\ITTUMV\�WN �a monthly comedy series JMOIV�.ZQLIa�VQOP\�I[�;\M^M�Hoffstetter took the stage in quite a politically-polarizing manner.

“I knew it was going to be somewhat political,” said Kevin Gysburg, organizer of the event. “I thought it was I�TQ\\TM�Å\\QVO�[MMQVO�I[�\PMZM�was just an election, so there could be some good content with that.”

<PM�ÅZ[\�[]JRMK\�0WNN[\M\-ter began with was Michele Bachmann, ripping on the audience for allowing her to be re-elected. He then touched on other subjects including gay rights, voting, and airport security.

“I do comedy because I have something to say, and I don’t think comedy should be without a message,” Hoffstetter said. “I saw a few people getting up and leaving because they didn’t

agree with the politics. But it’s great that we live in a country where you can do that.”

Though the nature of the comedy was divisive, the event was still a success, with extra chairs needing to be pulled in to make room for audience members that came in late.

“I think it went amazing-ly,” Gysburg said. “Especially since we were competing with hockey and Malaysian Night, and a couple other events.”

Hoffstetter agreed that it went well. “I had a lot of fun. The crowd really gave me the freedom to go wher-ever the hell I wanted, and they came with me. I haven’t JMMV�PMZM�C;\��+TW]LE�QV�several years and it was nice to see that the crowd knew me and knew my stuff.”

Hoffstetter is big on the college circuit, performing at 100 colleges a year.

“The crowds are en-thusiastic and the schools

pay well,” Hoffstetter said. “Those are really the two reasons to do a gig: because it’s fun and because it’s aW]Z�RWJ��;W�_PMV�aW]�KIV�combine those two there’s no reason not to.”

Hofstetter enjoys being on the road because of the things it teaches him. “I get to learn. It’s a constant education. My favorite para-phrase is Mark Twain who said ‘Travel is the enemy of prejudice’, and it really is.”

“I grew up in New York City thinking everyone past West Chester was a hick. Now I’ve been to every cor-ner of the country. The only city that has over a couple hundred thousand people is Boise. I’m also not very empathetic by nature, but learning how to be empa-thetic is a nice side effect of comedy.”

As far as advice to aspir-ing comedians goes, Hofstet-ter had this to say:

“Get on stage. You can’t be a theoretical comedian

any more than you can be a theoretical quarterback. You have to learn how to throw, which I guess is part of why I don’t like Tim Tebow. In my league quarterbacks throw. There’s no substitute for stage time, and you have to get rid of your ego.

“You’re not going to be good when you start. It’s go-ing to take two or three years for you to even be comfort-able. It’s going to take seven for you to have any shred of success. It’s gonna take 10 for you to see any momentum, and it’s going to take 15 for

you to be famous. And that’s if it works. Anything worth doing takes a while. A lot of people think, ‘Oh I’ll get on stage and they’ll love me’ and that’s just not true. You gotta earn it.”

CO-SPORTS EDITOR

The men’s hockey team earned a split with the Univer-sity of North Dakota this past weekend, making their record (6-4-0, 4-2-0 WCHA), which is good enough for a share of second place in one the toughest conferences in college hockey.

FridayIn a top-20 showdown,

SCSU was shutout 3-0 by powerhouse UND in front of 4,738 screaming fans.

The Huskies started off the game in a bind by letting Brendan O’Donnell score 48 seconds into the game. After that SCSU settled down a bit and played toe-to-toe with the Sioux. “We came ready to play,” said head coach Bob Motzko. “We had two big breakdowns and we were chas-ing our tail all night.”

The two things that leaped out on the night was that, ÅZ[\Ta��=6,�[KWZML�QV�MIZTa�QV�\PM�ÅZ[\�\_W�XMZQWL[��IVL�I�shorthanded in the third. Sec-ondly, SCSU was 0-for-4 on the power play, culminating a dismal 7-for-45 on the season.

UND quickly made it 2-0 on a goal by Carter Rowney 43 seconds into the second period with assists going to Corbin Knight and Derrick Forbort. “We knew coming into this game that if you let up for one shift against this team they’re going to capitalize,” said Nick Jensen, junior defenseman.

The third goal came at

17:33 of the third period and was a shorthanded goal scored by Mark MacMillan. The Huskies were on the power play and Jensen couldn’t control a bouncing puck near his blue line. “We’ve just got to keep playing every shift like its the last of the game,” Jensen said. “The puck was bouncing, but it’s part of the game. The ice is bad towards the end of the period, but you can’t blame the ice if something doesn’t go your way.”

The Huskies went on the last power play of the evening with 3:08 left in the game. Head coach Bob Motzko said he was pleased with his team’s effort, but not their power play. The Huskies only managed one shot on goal on four op-portunities.

“I’m very disappointed in our power play,” Motzko said. His team is now 0-for-8 over the last two games on power plays. “Our power play has to rise up and play a hell of a lot better than that.

“But you have to give North Dakota credit. They played like a typical North Dakota team,” Motzko said. “We needed to get the building WV�ÅZM�IVL�I�OWIT�_W]TL¼^M�done that.”

UND goaltender Clarke Saunders notched his second shutout of the season by stop-ping all 32 shots from SCSU. The transfer from Alabama-Huntsville has a .949 save percentage on the year.

Sophomore Husky goaltender Ryan Faragher was credited with 23 saves on

the night and looked quite comfortable all game. “The ÅZ[\�WVM��1�\PW]OP\�W]Z�»,¼�had him for sure and I wasn’t even looking at the guy in the middle and I was looking at the guy on the back door to get the pass,” Faragher said on 6WZ\P�,ISW\I¼[�ÅZ[\�[PW\�WN �the game.

The second goal “the whole sequence was crazy be-cause I lost my stick and Jensen got it back for me. Right after that, they got it out front and scored. He squeezed it under my glove,” Faragher said.

“We battled North Dakota all night and if it wasn’t for those two breakdowns we _W]TL¼^M�JMMV�ÅVM�º�5W\bSW�said about his team’s perfor-mance.

This marks the Huskies ÅZ[\�PWUM�TW[[�[QVKM�TW[QVO�I�3-2 OT heart-breaker against Alaska Anchorage on Feb. 18, 2012.

SaturdaySCSU ended its two-game

losing skid when they beat number-six ranked UND 5-2 on a night where they simply outworked their opponent.

The Huskies were able to kill two birds with one stone Saturday night by breaking their three-period scoreless [\ZMIS�IVL�ÅVITTa�[KWZQVO�I�XW_MZ�XTIa�OWIT��\PMQZ�ÅZ[\�QV�two games.

The atmosphere from beginning to end saw rival fans from both sides taunting one another as the game wore on into the night. 5,201 fans attended to show their loyalty

to each side.The third line started for

the Huskies because Motzko wanted bigger and stronger bodies against all of the seniors on UND’s top line, including Knight.

UND nearly scored 20 seconds into the game when Danny Kristo had a wide open lane to Faragher who made the clutch save. Faragher later made a spectacular save with his stick, diving across the crease knocking the puck out of mid air. “Man, Faragher played great all night and that save was unbelievable,” LeB-lanc said.

UND got the scoring start-ML�I\��"� �WN �\PM�ÅZ[\�XMZQWL�when Drake Caggiula tried to UISM�I�XI[[�\PI\�LMÆMK\ML�WNN �the skate of a Husky defender and back to Caggiula. He then ÅZML�Q\�XI[\�.IZIOPMZ�_PW�_I[�out of position.

SCSU answered by break-ing their three-period score-TM[[�[\ZMIS�I\��"�!�WN �\PM�ÅZ[\�when freshman forward Jonny Brodzinski scored his second goal of the season on a nice faceoff win by senior forward Drew LeBlanc. “You could hear the air let up in the build-ing after that goal because we could breathe again,” Motzko said. “From that we loos-ened up and actually played hockey.”

“I just like the fact that we played our tails off from start \W�ÅVQ[P�º�5W\bSW�[IQL��¹?M�needed to have a response game because we just lost two in a row.”

“It’s been a struggle for us because we feel we have the talent to score power play goals,” LeBlanc said. “I think that’s something we’re going to hit hard during our bye-week.”

The Huskies started the third period exactly the same I[�\PMa�LQL�\PM�ÅZ[\¸WV�\PM�power play a 4-on-3 to be exact, but were hoping for dif-ferent results and pad their 3-2 lead over UND. That didn’t occur as SCSU fell short, only getting two shots on net. The

Huskies were 1-for-3 on the power play.

SCSU was not done scor-ing for the night when sopho-more forward Garrett Milan snuck the puck past Saunders on a rebound and it slowly traveled across the line for his ÅZ[\�OWIT�WN �\PM�aMIZ��)[[Q[\[�on the goal went to Rehkamp and sophomore Joey Holka to increase the Huskies lead 4-2.

Faragher played outstand-ing between the pipes, saving 24 shots on the evening. He ended 5-4-0 on the season with a 2.33 goals against average and .921 saving percentage.

“Every guy competed tonight and we had no lapses,” Motzko said. “You have to match [UND]’s intensity be-cause that’s their trademark.”

The Huskies have next weekend off and will look to get rest before they travel the University of Minnesota Du-luth. The Bulldogs always play the Huskies tough and will be a crucial series in the young WCHA season.

FridayThe Husky volleyball team ex-

tended its winning streak to three by defeating the University of Mary in three straight sets (25-17, 25-7, 25-22).

The theme of the night was energy as the Huskies outworked the Maurad-ers in nearly every category. “Our goal tonight was to stay aggressive, push the tempo, and cheer on our teammates,” said freshman outside hitter Allison Butler.

Butler had herself a stellar night, leading the Huskies with nine kills and 10 assists to her credit. “She, along with others, played real well for us,” said head coach Michelle Blaeser.

Freshman outside hitter Dani Do-meier had a great offensive effort, tally-ing seven kills in only 13 attempts and also having a team-high 10 digs. Junior middle hitter Ellie Dietzen was another player that gave the Mauraders trouble with six kills on a .455 attack percent-age with six crucial blocks.

The Mauraders seemed out of sync all night until the last set when it was too late and the Huskies were able to

calm the storm. “We did a really good job at staying calm,” Blaeser said.

Technical serving by having eight services aces and averaging 13 kills per match helped the huskies win. “The serving game was really important for us and helped get the W,” Blaeser said.

SaturdayThe Huskies ended their season on

a high note with a four-game winning streak all in three sets, defeating Minot State (25-17, 25-17, 25-17) in their last NSIC match.

In the beginning of the match, the Huskies were having some troubles with the Beavers’ serving because they would use a lot of top spin. “We had trouble with that in the beginning but Dani, Jordan, and Brianne were clutch later on in the match, getting big digs for us,” Blaeser said.

It was evident that the Huskies were on a high after winning three matches in a row; they seemed loose right from the start. “They were really loose before the game,” Blaeser said. “We made some errors early on but we _MZM�IJTM�\W�Å`�\PMU�º

The Huskies were able to control the whole game and were only down one point the entire match when

the Beavers were up 1-0. SCSU was focused the whole night, while the Bea-vers seemed discombobulated, making 22 errors to the Huskies’ 16.

Everyone was able to contribute in the Huskies’ last game of the roller-coaster season, as each player got in the game. “That’s not necessarily a goal as a coach but it was nice because everybody has been contributing,” Blaeser said. “I’m glad everybody got a chance to play.”

Butler once again led the Huskies in kills with nine and had a .615 attack percentage by attempting 13 kill shots. Freshman middle hitter Kellan Flynn had herself a big night, contributing seven kills on 12 attempts, making for a .500 attack percentage.

This was somewhat of a rebuilding aMIZ�NWZ�\PM�0][SQM[��I[�\PMa�ÅVQ[PML�10-18 overall and 6-14 in the NSIC. These past four wins will most likely place the Huskies at number 12 in the NSIC out of 16 teams.

SCSU will not be making a trip to the conference tournament because the NSIC takes the eight top teams. “They should have 12 spots for the tournament, but it’s something to strive for next season,” Blaeser said.

The number-two ranked Huskies Wrestling came home with multiple titles after kick-ing off the 2012-13 season in Ames, Iowa.

The tournament was an open format, meaning that no scores were kept during the tournament. Only individual titles were awarded.

Husky senior wrestler Shamus O’Grady brought home the 184-pound title and redshirt freshman Clint Poster captured the 157-poud title.

O’Grady is a three-time all-american for SCSU. Last season he captured his third all-american award while post-ing a dominant 17-3 record while battling injury all season. This weekend he went 4-0, getting a major decision and a technical fall. He won the title by defeating Jeffrey Koepke of the University of Illinois.

Poster dominated in his ÅZ[\�M^MZ�KWTTMOM�\W]ZVIUMV\�witha 5-0 record, earning four pins along the way.

Student ticket SROLF\�FKDQJHV

CO-SPORTS EDITOR

SCSU is trying something new this hockey season, asking for students to renew their student ID before they go to major hockey games.

The reason for this is there are a limited number of tick-ets available for these rivalry games, and it helps students out. The NHEC is only do-ing this for major games like University of North Dakota, University of Minnesota, and others, because it is easier for workers and students, accord-ing to a worker at the NHEC.

Students can renew their student IDs by simply going to the SCSU website and fol-lowing instructions. A weekly

email will be sent out to help students better understand the process.

Security is also increased at these games because some students do try and sneak al-cohol in. After the student ID is swiped, security asks people to open their coats and allow a security personal to search everyone’s bags.

With this new system in place it is much easier for students to get tickets because they can do it the comfort of their own home, instead of going down to the ticket window.

If all goes well with the new process, SCSU might be thinking of doing this in the future, not just for major games, but for all men’s hockey home games, accord-ing to a NHEC worker.

With the halfway mark of the season passing, three teams are showing that they are the cream of the crop. The Atlanta Falcons improved to a perfect 8-0, while the Chi-cago Bears and Houston Texans improved their records to a respectable 7-1. There are still a lot of mediocre teams right now with sub-500 records.

In the meantime, let’s take a look back at all of the games from week nine.Kansas City at San Diego: Kansas City’s struggles continued on Thursday with another tough loss to their AFC west rivals.

The Chicago Bears’ defense has been a nightmare this season for every single team they’ve played.

It’s a dark day for NHL fans across the world because the 6048)�IVL�604�UM\�Å^M�KWV[MK]\Q^M�LIa[�IVL�\PM�604�Q[�still not budging on its 50/50 shared revenue, making for stalled negotiations.

With one of the most anticipated Winter Classic games in recent memory already cancelled, the hope for a season looks less and less likely with each passing day.

Around 15 players attended the week-long meetings in an ]V[XMKQÅML�TWKI\QWV�QV�6M_�AWZS��IVL�\PM�UW[\�VW\IJTM�XTIaMZ�was young star Sidney Crosby. Crosby is a player who usually isn’t known for showing emotion on the ice. He is what you would call a premadonna because he thinks the game is all about him.

It’s hard to understand why the NHL would risk losing another entire season because they want to make more money. It’s kind of sad because NHL players are already the lowest-paid UIRWZ�[XWZ\�I\PTM\M[��<PMa�LM[MZ^M�I�TQ\\TM�UWZM�UWVMa�JMKI][M�\PM�604�PI[�ÅVITTa�ZQ[MV�]X�NZWU�\PM�I[PM[�WN �PMTT��IVL�\PQ[�]V-necessary lockout will only damage the league.

The only positive thing that came out of the discussion was that there was a mention of pos-[QJTa�MVLQVO�\PM�TWKSW]\�WV�,MK��<PM�604�_W]TL�PI^M�I��game season. That most likely won’t happen because the NHL is greedy and making their players dislike them.

The NHL also has to understand that a 50/50 revenue shar-ing CBA is still a seven percent decrease in pay for the players. .WZ�\PM�UW[\�XIZ\��\PM�604�Q[�[PW_QVO�ZMKWZL�XZWÅ\[�IVL�PQOP�attendance to each game as the game has evolved over the past 10 seasons.

The players have said that they are only looking for both sides to concede something, and that the NHL is failing to do that in the latest offerings. Both sides need to sit down and talk about the real issues like adults and get something accomplished soon.

But a CBA agreement has to work on both sides. The NHLPA also has to come to the table with a different approach in order to get a season going. NHLPA chief Donald Fehr must be lenient in some areas while remaining tough in others. If Fehr isn’t willing to make some changes, then the NHL will do the same thing.

The way it looks right now, on both sides, is that if the season were to be cancelled tomorrow, it wouldn’t affect either side.

The NHLPA has to acknowledge that this may affect the way some owners approach the bargaining tables.

In the end, the only way a season will come about in all this mess is if both sides back away from their egos and work

together.Fighting aside, the NHL needs to honor current contracts

and keep the 50/50 split in revenue. When that is all said and done, the 2012-13 season will be underway if they both can be civil in future meetings.

The new wrinkles in the negotiation process seem to be own-ers being more focussed on the individual contract issues, more than players believed them to be. Player’s will lose desire to nego-tiate if there will be no revenue drop for this upcoming season.

The players want to negotiate a deal based on a full season, and then determine how it will be pro-rated for a shortened [MI[WV��7_VMZ[�_IV\�\PI\�XZW�ZI\ML�ÅO]ZM�NWZ�XTIaMZ[�VMOW\QI\ML�as part of the overall picture.

But it is presumed the NHL would suffer a mini-mum of $350 million loss of revenue in a 70-game season, and they would have to prepare as if it will be higher.

The players proposed that they receive the $1.88 billion this season, the same amount they received last season, plus a 1.75 percent increase compounded over the length of the agreement. If the revenues were down $400 million, that number would be IJW]\��XMZKMV\�WN �ZM^MV]M�

The NHL is greedy and making their players dislike them. I really don’t see the NHLPA and NHL coming to an agreement anytime soon, so it looks like a long cold winter with no hockey. I guess college hockey will have to be enough for hockey buffs.

NFL WEEK 9: Three teams rising up

Every team in the NBA has at least one week of their regular season com-pleted. Several teams, the Minnesota <QUJMZ_WT^M[�QVKT]LML��IZM�\ZaQVO�\W�ÅVL�the most effective rotations for new play-MZ[�IN\MZ�IV�WNN[MI[WV�ÅTTML�_Q\P�QVR]ZQM[��Other teams, like the San Antonio Spurs, are looking to be solid playoff contend-ers with many players returning to their ZW[\MZ[��?Q\P�ITT�WN �\PM�\ZILM[��QVR]ZQM[�and rotations happening around the league this season, fans of the sport will be experiencing an exciting new take on the NBA and, depending on success or failures, that excitement can carry well into the winter and spring.

Here’s a quick look at each team and their start to the 2012-2013 season. Start-ing with Minnesota and the rest of the teams in the league following in alphabeti-

cal order. All statistics are as of Nov. 11.Minnesota (4-2): The offense was expected to sputter without Ricky Rubio or Kevin Love, but the defense and depth of the Timberwolves have made up for it. Last season, they gave up 100 points per OIUM��<PI\�V]UJMZ�Q[�LW_V�\W� !�\PQ[�season. Their bench has been a surprise as well, scoring 40.5 points per game. Both their defense and bench-scoring are ranked in the top 10 after four games.Atlanta (2-2): Atlanta has only played four games, but an early-season win over 7STIPWUI�+Q\a�_Q\PW]\�2W[P�;UQ\P�� points per game last season) was impres-sive. Louis Williams has eased the loss of 2WM�2WPV[WV�Ja�OQ^QVO�)\TIV\I��XWQV\[�per game off the bench.Boston (3-3)"�<PMQZ�ÅZ[\�\_W�_QV[�KIUM�down to the wire against the Washington ?QbIZL[�_Q\PW]\�2WPV�?ITT��<PM�OWWL�VM_[�Q[�:IRWV�:WVLW�PI[�\ISMV�]X�UWZM�of the scoring load while shooting 37.5

percent from three. If he can remain a consistent scoring threat through Novem-ber, Boston should be able to grind their way to a record over .500.Brooklyn (2-2): Here’s what Brooklyn has: an extremely wealthy owner with a thick Russian accent, a state of the art arena, a coach who is notable for tightening up in important games, and a roster that looks good on paper but JTW_[�I��XWQV\�TMIL�\W�IV�QVR]Za�ZQLLTML�Timberwolves squad. With the exception of the Russian accent, don’t the Brooklyn Nets sound like the NBA’s version of the Dallas Cowboys?Charlotte (2-3): Winning two out of Å^M�OIUM[�[PW]TLV¼\�JM�VM_[_WZ\Pa��J]\�\PM�*WJKI\[�IZM�WVTa�Å^M�_QV[�I_Ia�NZWU�matching last season’s win total.
