Upperclassmen and faculty members who do not eat in the Dining Center now have the option of a salad bar available in the food court.

“It provides more variety and allows you to customize it,” junior Hannah Nylander said.

The salad bar, Fresh Works, functions like a Subway. Students can choose between a small and a large salad, as well as the veg-etables, cheeses, meats, dressings and extras they want on their sal-ad. Students also have the option of wraps as well as combos, which include a drink and dinner roll.

Fresh Works also features fresh vegetables from UMD Farms.

“It’s an a la carte style. You can keep building as your heart desires,” said Andrelino Cardoso, Dining Services director.

Cardoso said the idea of a salad bar on campus was suggested mul-tiple times in forums held by Din-ing Services from both faculty and students.

“I’m very impressed with the response,” Cardoso said. “Based on the feedback we’ve gotten, I think we made the right decision.”

Dining Services has already received a lot of constructive feed-back on how to improve the salad bar, such as more dressings and other vegetables that students would like to see.

Many students are very excited that they now have this option. However, some students say they

Not an article of clothing will be seen in the photographs depicting a transgender man’s physical jour-ney to becoming a man tonight.

Nationally known artist and photographer Loren Cameron will be telling his life story as a transgender man and sharing his artwork at 6 p.m. in the Kirby Ball-room.

According to Cameron’s web-

site, the purpose of this presen-tation is to provide an affirming visual resource for transgender people and to demystify the trans-sexual body for the non-transgen-der viewer.

“I think there is a real limit to what everyone knows about trans-gender people,” said Vice Chancel-lor of Student Life Lisa Erwin.

Erwin thinks the presentation will be informative and of educa-tional value to students.

Cameron has been producing self-portraits and photos of trans-gender people since 1993. He has been to more than 70 universi-ties, colleges and institutes, some of which include the Twin Cities campus, University of Wisconsin Madison, Harvard and Cornell University.

Danny Frank, an adviser of the Queer and Allied Student Union (QASU), thinks this is an impor-tant event that will “shed some light on the physical aspect of what it’s like to be transgender.”

Frank said this campus lacks

awareness of the transgender com-munity and hopes this event will help raise awareness for what it is like to be a transgender student or faculty member.

“This event is a good way to build empathy for other people on our campus,” Frank said.

Darcy Herman, chairperson for QASU, also was not sure if UMD has had a transgender speaker before, but she is certain no one has ever done the visual aspect of it.

Herman said QASU has had a lot of gay and lesbian speakers come but not many transgender speakers.

“We figured we should balance it out,” Herman said. “We wanted to make transgender people feel like they have a place in our group.”

She thinks it will be a good learning experience where people can ask those uncomfortable ques-tions and gain a better understand-ing of who transgender people are.

“This event is good for any stu-dent who is interested in seeing a

different perspective,” Herman said.

Herman also feels this event is making great strides toward devel-oping UMD into a more inclusive campus.

Junior Kristina Larson, Chemis-try and Biology double major, said she is glad the university is hosting an event like this one.

“I really want to go to show my support for what the university is doing,” Larson said. “I think it will be interesting.”

The university is paying Camer-on $4,000 for his presentation. The money came from student services fees, which are fees students have to pay each semester in order to attend UMD.

The fees are then distributed among Intercollegiate Athlet-ics, Health Services, Recreational Sports Outdoor Program and the Kirby Student Center. These orga-nizations use these fees to help fund guest speakers and various events.

Associate Vice Chancellor for

Student Life Corbin Smyth said $4,000 is a very average cost for organizations. For example, the Trampled by Turtles performance will cost $4,500 and leadership facilitator Ryan Penneau will cost $5,000.

At the event Cameron will pres-ent slides of his work, and tell sto-ries about his personal transforma-tion and about other transgender people.

Both transgender and non-transgender people are welcome to attend the event.

UMD has applied for a nearly $300,000 grant that could assist in steps to improve and expand sexual assault response services on campus.

Director of the Office of Cul-tural Diversity Susana Pelayo-Woodward and Health Educator Dori Decker applied for the grant on behalf of UMD earlier in the year. It is the third time they have applied for this grant, which is dis-tributed by the Grants to Reduce Domestic Violence, Dating Vio-lence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking on Campus Program.

“But we want to make sure that people know that if we don’t get the money there is a strong com-mitment to make sure that we improve our processes and train-ing,” Woodward said.

The four main objectives of the grant, according to an abstract provided by Woodward, are:

Create a Coordinated Commu-nity Response Team

Develop prevention and educa-tion programs

Strengthen the role of the UMD Police Department and train offi-cers

Support training for judicial/disciplinary staff

If the university receives the grant, it will be required to pro-vide mandatory education to all incoming students, including transfers. Woodward said they are scheduled to find out if UMD has been awarded the grant by Oct. 1.

“The following week—the sec-ond week of October—all the partners that are collaborating on this grant will have a meeting to then say, ‘OK, we got the money. Great, so how do we move for-ward?’ Or, ‘We didn’t get the mon-ey, so how do we continue to move forward?’” Woodward said.

Capt. Scott Drewlo, director of the UMD Police Department, said the grant would help him imple-ment his plan to have PAVSA advocates overseeing UMDPD sexual assault cases.

“The grant would be my best bet to make that happen,” he said. “Because I know as much as PAV-SA (Program for Aid to Victims of Sexual Assault) would like to probably do that too, they’re on an even tighter budget than we are. And in order for that to happen there would have to be some grant money.”

Drewlo said he helped guide the Duluth Police Department into a more victim-centered approach to sexual assault cases after an audit in 2008.

“It was that long, arduous, painful process,” I had to kind of change the culture… and it was hard, but there were investigators that stepped up and decided that they wanted to do things this way.”

Because officers only deal with one or two sexual assault cases every year, Drewlo said one thing he did at the Duluth department was to equip them to handle the cases.

“We saw the need to develop a standardized protocol that every

Meals are now customizable thanks to professional chefs who make your meals right in front of you at new live stations in the Din-ning Center.

“I believe in healthy foods, but also good-tasting foods,” said Andrelino Cardoso, the new department director of UMD Food and Vending Services. He was hired last May, and since then has been bringing about a lot of change, especially in the Dining Center (DC).

Cardoso said he has made a lot of the changes because of the stu-dents’ feedback. All of the changes were designed to help students and encourage them in their college careers.

One of the biggest changes is the addition of professional chefs dur-ing each meal. These live stations are featured in the middle of the DC, and the chefs cook up a meal right in front of you.

One of the perks about these “live stations” is that they are cus-tomized. You can ask the chefs to cook something to your specific liking.

“I think it’s great, I think it looks really professional,” said Mary McCorison, an employee at the DC.

A lot of the food is also prepared right in the DC now, instead of being sent precooked, with vege-tables provided from local gardens. There is a smaller garden located on top of Griggs where some of the food comes from, but much more comes from UMD Farms.

“Everybody likes fresh food that they can see being made,” McCo-rison said.

Some students, like sophomore Marshall Wedger, agree.

“I think they’re great changes. The gourmet people are great,” said Wedger. “The food seems bet-ter this year.”

Another notable change is the hours. The DC used to be open for specific breakfast, lunch and dinner hours, but now stays open between each meal as well. It is also open until 7:30 p.m., instead of 7 p.m.

“Whenever I want to come they’re always open,” said Cali Skaret, a freshman at UMD.

“As a freshman, I would have loved it,” said Matt Ebel, a sopho-

more this year, in reference to the new schedule of the DC.

While some students love the changes, others have not been greatly affected by them. Many students have a “lunch only” meal plan, and they really don’t see the good effects of the schedule chang-es.

“It’s hard for us to eat lunch at 11 a.m., because the lunch isn’t always ready yet,” said Glen Ridlon, a sophomore.

Another great change that has been implemented is a nutritionist. While not here yet, the nutrition-ist’s job will be to talk to students about their portion control and what they should be eating. They will be focusing specifically on stu-dents with allergies.

“Change is good,” Cardoso said, referring to both the DC and man-agement arrangements.

Tim Bushnell, former principal of the DC, has now changed places with Elizabeth Abrahamson, for-mer principal of the food court. The hope behind this switch is that each place will gain new energy by bringing in their different skills.

In the future, Cardoso would like to see a rotisserie installed, televisions installed, and events such as “bring your professor” or “bring your veteran.” He said this is a good way to get students to communicate with the adults in their lives and communities.

“I think it’s great for the kids and I’m happy about that,” McCorison said.

The times they are a-changin’Dining Center changes menu, hours and presentation

BY ERIC LEMKElemke082@d.umn.edu

This weekend on campus, 14 underage consumption tickets and three drug citations were issued. One student was also sent to detox, and one student was charged with fleeing on foot.

The concert underneath the Dining Center on Friday saw one student arrested and sent to jail. The student reportedly threw a 20 oz coke bottle over the crowd and toward the stage. When an officer attempted to talk to the student he began to resist. After a minor struggle with two officers, the sus-pect was wrestled to the ground and put in handcuffs. He was put into a squad car where he admit-ted drinking and said he didn’t know why he had thrown the bot-tle or resisted the officers. He was

booked at the St. Louis County Jail and charged with obstruction with force, disorderly conduct and underage consumption.

On Saturday night, police assist-ed a juvenile on campus who was visiting her sister after she was reportedly vomiting and unable to be taken care of in the bathroom of Ianni Hall.

Early Sunday morning, two stu-dents were cited for possession of marijuana after an officer found them in the stairwell of Griggs. Later in the night, the same stu-dent was found even further intox-icated by an officer and was sent to detox with a blood alcohol content of .189.

Two students were also cited for possession of drug paraphernalia after they were found with several pipes, weed, and synthetic “Dream Tea” in their possession.

had when they went to this call, and they could actually go off of a cheat sheet,” he said. “Just focus-ing more on victim-centered ser-vice delivery, everything from ini-tial response to the call.”

Drewlo said he would like to bring some of these same changes to the UMD Police Department.

“That’s exactly what I plan to do,” he said. “And everybody’s for it. Nobody’s giving any opposition to it or anything. Everybody’s real-ly excited about some of the ideas that I’m wanting to bring here.”

Hannah Rivenburgh, public health associate with the Min-nesota Department of Health, focused for the past year on Min-nesota universities’ responses to sexual assault. She said that indi-vidual education is only part of the answer—changing policies, changing organizational environ-ments, and educating staff are all important components.

“The things that are really effec-tive on a broad scale are going to be things that impact the whole campus community or the whole campus environment,” she said.

The university’s internal part-ners on the grant are Student Life, the Office of Cultural Diversity, the Women’s Resource and Action Center, UMDPD, Health Servic-es, Human Resources and Office of Equal Opportunity, the Office of Student Conduct, Housing and Residence Life, Students in Transi-tion and the Department of Inter-collegiate Athletics. The external partners are PAVSA, Domestic Abuse Intervention Project, Dulu-th Police Department and St. Lou-is County Attorney’s Office.

Professional chefs stand in at the Live Station, a new addition to the Dining Center. Students can watch their meal being prepared right in front of them.

would rather have a taco bar as an option, which existed in previ-ous years.

Senior Blakely Everett said she prefers the salad bar option. “I haven’t eaten there yet, but I wish it wasn’t so expensive.”

The prices range from $4.00 to $8.00 depending on if it is a combo or there are extra ingredients add-ed to the salad.

Junior Katchen Malecha agrees that the salad bar is a better option.

“The taco bar was greasy and gross,” Malecha said. “It’s fresh and you can pick what you want.”

However, juniors Connor Paul-son and Peter Greenwood wish that the taco bar still existed.

“The taco bar was the best part of my day and it was cheaper,” Paul-son said.

Although Greenwood never ate at the taco bar he feels the taco bar is a better option.

“If I had to choose between a taco bar and salad bar I would pick the taco bar,” Greenwood said. “Tacos are better than salad.”

Cardoso said that although the

Sombreros Fiesta (taco bar) is gone, Mexican is not.

The Daily special will have some Mexican dishes and other interna-tional cuisines,” Cardoso said.

There are a lot of other new things happening in the food court besides Fresh Works. For example Taste of Italia is now offering an 8-inch customized solo pizza, and the Daily Special now has a new menu.

Dining Services is also currently working on trying to get subs and sushi as an option for students.

“We are just getting started. There are more things coming,” Cardoso said.

Cardoso encourages students to give any suggeustions they may have to Dining Services. Students can go onto their website to fill out a comment card or fill one out right in the food court.

Come the end of the semester Dining Services will evaluate and compile the feedback they receive to decide if Fresh Works stays or goes.

STOP THE WOLF HUNT BY JESSICA NOOR noor0037@d.umn.edu

I would like to start off by say-ing I oppose the wolf hunt, fully and foremost. I have loved these animals my whole life. I am reach-ing out to inform readers because together we can help stop the wolf hunt from happening. I encourage you to get involved and help stop the wolf hunt by visiting the Howl-ing for Wolves website or their Facebook/Twitter pages. There will be many rallies and protests in Duluth, including a wolf walk in Duluth on Oct. 20.

Not even a year after the Min-nesota wolf was taken off of the endangered species list, the wolf is being put up for kill in a hunting and trapping season opening with the deer-hunting season on Nov. 3. On the DNR’s website they have a page for the Wolf Management Plan. The plan states, “Minne-sota’s Wolf Management Plan will ensure their long-term survival and monitor their population. It also will give owners of livestock and domestic pets more protection from wolf depredation.”

I just can’t come to terms with their thinking. How could they possibly think that enabling a wolf hunting and trapping season would “ensure their long-term sur-vival?” There is no sense to it.

On Sept. 18, a lawsuit was filed against the hunting and trapping

of Minnesota wolves by The Cen-ter for Biological Diversity and Howling for Wolves. This lawsuit would ensure that there would be no hunting of wolves for five years. I was lucky enough to talk to Mau-reen Hackett, the president and founder of Howling for Wolves. This organization was more than happy to accommodate my request to talk to someone about the orga-nization and the wolf hunt. Dr. Hackett was wonderful to speak with.

Howling for Wolves is a non-profit organization that was creat-ed on March 22, 2012, in response to the wolf hunt put in place by the Minnesota DNR to be a voice for wolves. On their website (howl-ingforwolves.org) their purpose states, “It is our mission to educate and motivate the public to speak up and even howl for the Minne-sota gray wolf.” Before talking Dr. Hackett, I knew little about the facts surrounding the wolf hunt. She informed me that a push for a wolf hunt in Minnesota was hap-pening before the Legislature even got together last summer. The leg-islators actually took out the ini-tial five-year wait period that was set for a Minnesota wolf hunt and trapping season – behind closed doors – without media or commu-nity comment. This was without Minnesota’s consent or knowing. Now Howling for Wolves and other people and organizations are looking to get the governor to veto this bill. This is a law that needs to be challenged.

Wolves killing livestock seems to be the only argument for the wolf hunt to take place. The peo-ple that wanted to kill the wolves in the 1890s are the same people

that want to kill the wolves today – the livestock industry. But wolves don’t often hunt livestock either; the warm winter the previous year had made it harder for wolves to catch deer, forcing them to the only alternative. The number of wolf-livestock conflict in Minne-sota is extremely low. There were only 88 confirmed incidences in 2011—and yet, 203 wolves died from these incidences. So this hunt set out by the DNR is a slaughter of non-problem wolves. A sport hunt and trapping.

Imagine for a second if the wolf hunt and trapping season were to take place. It would be devastat-ing for wolves. The Minnesota wolves are only at a stable popula-tion. They are not thriving. Many wolves in Minnesota starve to death. A number of wolves will also be killed because they lost their protected status and are con-sidered threatening. It is known that wolves live in packs; they are social animals that rely on each other to survive. Killing just one member of a pack, especially one of the alphas, could in turn kill every other wolf in that pack. This hunt would destroy countless wolf packs. This hunt could wipe them out once more.

Needless to say, talking to Mau-reen Hackett was enlightening. She finished off our interview by wanting to say one thing, “The wolf has been a persecuted, hated animal the entire history of this country. The only reason we have any in Minnesota is because they were deep in the forests and they couldn’t get to them. If we don’t slow down, we’ll kill them all. There just aren’t enough wolves.”

I was driving down First Street this morning, when I saw a group of people, all white, standing in front of the Women’s Health Cen-ter protesting abortion. One of them was holding an eight-foot-tall wooden cross. Now, you would think that anyone who has taken U.S. History would know the implications of a group of white people protesting with a large wooden cross, but these people seemed clue-less. So I pulled over and got out to talk to them.

I asked them if they had considered the implications of a group of people protesting with a large wooden cross. They stared blankly at me. I told them that when I saw them, a group of white people protesting with a large wooden cross, my mind immediately went to cross burning. Their eyes widened. I assured them that I was not accusing them of doing such things, and that I truly believed that they had simply not considered this implication. However, I urged them to consider the pain and fear that imagery may bring to a lot of people of color.

One woman quickly defended that it was an image of their savior, and that it wasn’t their fault that the image may bring pain to some people. She said it was all worth it if seeing that cross caused some-one to come to Jesus. I reminded her that it wasn’t simply the cross, but that the cross was eight feet tall, wooden, and surrounded by protesting white people. I reminded her that Duluth was visited by a group of White Supremacists just months prior, and that this wasn’t ancient history. I asked why they couldn’t paint the cross, or have it made out of a different material, to move away from that painful imagery. They said they couldn’t do that, because Jesus was crucified on a *wooden* cross.

I reiterated a few times that they needed to consider how this imagery would make people of color feel and that as white people, they hadn’t experienced this and therefore couldn’t understand how it felt. They responded that plenty of black people had stopped to thank them for what they were doing. I reminded them that they couldn’t base an entire race’s opinion off of a handful of instances, and that they couldn’t measure how many people of color had driven by, seen them, and felt pain. They simply told me I was wrong, that wasn’t happening. After a long discussion, I finally asked them if all the pain and fear they may be invoking in people passing by was worth making their point. They readily said yes, absolutely.

This is what privilege looks like. Privilege is being able to drive by a crowd of white people protesting with a wooden cross and not think twice about it. Privilege is being able to ignore the fact that you are causing other people pain, because it’s not convenient for you to change. Privilege is being exempt from things that other people have to endure. Most of us have experienced privilege in some way or another - what’s important is that we recognize that privilege. These people protesting in front of the Women’s Health Center didn’t get it, but I hope that by sharing this story, we can all be reminded that when we don’t check our privilege, others get hurt as a consequence.

Politicians are known for mak-ing gaffes. When there is a 24-hour news cycle, most of those gaffes are pretty easy to overcome and others can mean the end to campaigns.

Recently, a video surfaced of Republican candidate Mitt Rom-ney at a private function saying this: “There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the presi-dent no matter what ... These are people who pay no income tax. My job is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal respon-sibility and care for their lives.” He also said, “(they) believe that they are victims” and are “entitled” to be taken care of by the federal gov-ernment.

Sadly, this number includes people who are retired veterans and those on social security. These are people who are not victims or feel they are entitled to any-thing. These are benefits they have earned. The most unfortunate part of this gaffe is the number that was used. Had the number not been used, the gaffe would have never gotten the media coverage that it did.

They truth is that some people do feel entitled, but it is certainly not 47 percent of Americans.

The reason that this quote received so much coverage is because most say it exposes Rom-ney for the soulless man that he is. They say that he has no regard for the people who rely on the gov-ernment for the help they need to put food on the table or who rely on unemployment benefits to help pay their bills.

This comment sure seems like it, but whether the American people buy it is another story. The truth is that gaffes happen. Since the politicians are constantly being watched, it is easy to have a slip or two.

President Obama made a gaffe in July when he went off teleprompt-er saying, “If you got a business, you didn’t build that,” which the

Republicans went crazy over and actually built the RNC (Republi-can National Convention) around it as well as distributing T-shirts that said “government didn’t build my business, I did that.” Conser-vatives and Republicans around the country put up signs and had bumper stickers about the gaffe. It gained a lot of publicity very quickly because it was the middle of summer and the news is usually pretty slow.

Now that it is closer to the elec-tion and with what is being report-ed in Libya, Romney’s gaffe will not get the coverage that Obama’s gaffe did back in July. But it will still be talked about.

The core of each gaffe is said to

expose how these men intend on running the country and the poli-cies put forth if elected to office. If this were true, Obama thinks that the government is responsible for everything great in the country and Romney thinks that everyone who receives any sort of govern-ment benefit is lazy and just try-ing to get what they can from the people who are hard working and pay their taxes. This is obviously not the case for either man.

There is a strong difference in the ideologies of these two men. They believe in completely differ-ent ways of running the country in a successful manner. At the end of the day, gaffes will not decide elec-tions. Obama and Romney need to

appeal to the American people on a far more personal level. They do this through actively campaign-ing, participating in debates, and speaking with the American peo-ple about their plans for the coun-try. Sadly the gaffes, at the end of the day, are just words that are usu-ally taken out of context.

Although Mitt Romney’s gaffe was more recent and is still get-ting attention in the media, it is not the end of his campaign. He held a press conference where he went into instant damage control. He expressed how he said the remarks in response to a question and that he is “focused on the middle.” Whether this was really effective remains to be seen.

In today’s world of news, things turn over very fast. Politicians make gaffes weekly, and days later they are forgotten. Possible because people just do not really care when a politician misspeaks. It is what they want to do with the country that matters to them. What changes they want to make and what policies they want to put forth to make America prosper. This is the core of what people care about in this election.

At the end of the day, Romney’s gaffe was unfortunate, but not a game changer. Those who were offended by it the most would nev-er vote for him anyway, and others don’t care.

The difference of ideologies: Romney’s 47%

The Bulldogs football team held on to reach 4-0 on the season Sat-urday with a 42-34 victory over Augustana College in front of 4,254 spectators at Malosky Sta-dium.

Leading to a fifth consecu-tive week at the No. 2 spot in the American Football Coaches Association Division II Poll, the Bulldogs in controlling fashion outpaced Augustana 35-6 in the first half. The key to that success

was  the ability to stop a powerful Augie offense through controlling the line of scrimmage and limiting big plays down the field, and the Dogs did just that. 

Running back Austin Sikorski was the first to get into the end zone on behalf of the Dogs dur-ing the first drive of the game on a 2-yard rush.

After Chase Vogler’s pass was intercepted in the second quar-ter, Colby Ring led a quick turn-around with an interception of his own taken to the house. Ring’s big play led a full-steam-ahead Bull-

dog charge followed by two more scores before the end of the quar-ter.

Aaron Roth returned a kickoff 92 yards for a score, and on the next Bulldog drive, Vogler nailed receiver Joe Reichert for a 39-yard touchdown strike. The Vogler-Reichert duo was not finished yet, connecting on another scoring play from 10 yards out. 

The Bulldogs took a more con-servative approach in the second half with a comfortable lead. The strategy came under attack by an energetic Augustana comeback

and 14 unanswered points in the third quarter. The Augies managed another two scores and showed their strength as an offensive team.

UMD coach Bob Nielson was disappointed with his team’s per-formance in the second half, but remains confident and has faith in his players.

“Although we didn’t always execute well offensively, our guys showed some good character there at the end of the game,” he said. “To have success we must do a bet-ter job along the perimeter and we weren’t able to do that in the sec-

ond half.”The game remained a nail biter

until Cameron Harper recovered an onside kick, effectively ending the Augie comeback with a few moments left in the contest. The challenge kept it interesting and the Bulldogs held onto the vic-tory 42-34 over their fellow NSIC opponent.

UMD travels to St. Cloud this weekend to face the Huskies.

The UMD women’s hockey team battled hard in the second half of last season, even knocking off No. 1-ranked Wisconsin in the WCHA Final Faceoff, before hav-ing its season end at the hands of eventual national champion Min-nesota.

With the conference tourna-ment and NCAA Frozen Four headed to Ridder Arena in Min-neapolis this year, the Bulldogs would love nothing more than to turn the tables on the Gophers.

“It would be nice to do the same thing to them this year, like we did my freshman year,” said senior forward Audrey Cournoyer. “We started with a national champion-ship and it would be nice to end it on that note, too.”

The Bulldogs begin their quest for a sixth national title with a pair of exhibition games this weekend against the Minnesota Whitecaps, a professional women’s hockey team. Game times are set for 7

p.m. Friday and 3 p.m. Saturday at Amsoil Arena.

UMD is ranked No. 7 by USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine and No. 8 by USCHO.com in the preseason polls. WCHA coaches picked them to finish fourth in the conference, in a poll released Tues-day.

The team got off to a slow start last year, starting the season 12-11-1 before going on a tear and win-ning nine of their final 12 games. The Bulldogs were on the verge of an NCAA appearance, but the loss at the hands of the Gophers kept them outside the top eight.

“At the end of the season last year, there’s no doubt in my mind we were one of the top four teams in the country,” said 12th year head coach Shannon Miller. “But our body of work throughout the course of the season did not earn us a right to be ranked in the top eight, and that’s a very hard les-son for them to learn because they know how good we were at the end of the season. But it was too little, too late. So I’m guessing we’re not

going to make that mistake this year.”

Just five seniors will lace up their skates for the Bulldogs this season. UMD will have a lot of fresh tal-ent, with seven freshmen expected to suit up.

“It’s going to be a different year for sure,” said senior defenseman and forward Jessica Wong.  “We have a young team but it’s a talent-ed group and that’s makes us dan-gerous. We have a lot of depth.  If we stick to our game plan and lis-ten to coach, I think we’ll be great.”

Miller says she expects there to be a learning curve this year.

“We’re going to have to be very patient as coaches, especially early in season with such a young team,” she said. “We just have to be patient and teach. That’s what we did ’09-’10. I didn’t even feel that we deserved to be in the top eight, not even close, and we won a national championship that year. So we’ve got to take that same approach this year.”

The lack of experience is evi-dent at goalie more than any other

position. Freshmen Kayla Black and Sofia Carlstrom are expected to split time in the net, but goalie Karissa Grapp may also see some playing time.

“(Black and Carlstrom) were recruited and told the starting position was wide open and they’re going to compete for it,” Miller said. “Grapp was recruited as a third goalie, but the interesting thing is that she’s better than third goalie. It does make it interesting, so it’s going to be competitive, and we’ll just see what happens.”

The Bulldogs will have their work cut out for them as they hold the toughest strength of schedule in all of Division I women’s hockey. In addition to a full slate of games against NSIC opponents, UMD will also take East powerhouses Boston College and Boston Uni-versity.

“There’s no question that we’re going to have the toughest sched-ule in the country,” Miller said. “I’m excited about that.”

“We have a young team but it’s a talented group

and that’s what makes us dangerous...”

The UMD soccer team earned two crucial wins over the weekend.

The Bulldogs earned their first home victories and first NSIC vic-tories of the season with wins over Southwest Minnesota State and Sioux Falls Saturday and Sunday, respectively.

UMD (2-4 NSIC, 3-4 overall) had dropped its first four confer-ence games of the season after win-ning a non-conference matchup against Northern Michigan to start the year.

On Monday, freshman goalten-der Marissa Rosa earned NSIC Defensive Player of the Week hon-ors after earning two shutouts over the weekend.

“It’s a great feeling,” Rosa said. “I’m so honored to have that in my name. It’s just an awesome feeling. It’s so great.”

The Bulldogs started the week-end with a 1-0 win in a tight 1-0 victory over Southwest Minnesota Saturday at Malosky Stadium.

Sophomore midfielder Jennifer Smith netted the loan goal for the Bulldogs, a one-timer from junior forward Dani Potter from just in front of the net midway through the second half.

Rosa stopped all four shots on goal, earning the first shutout of her collegiate career. The UMD offense one-upped Southwest Minnesota, putting five shots on goal in the game.

Sunday was more of the same for Rosa and the Bulldogs as they rolled to a 6-0 victory over Sioux Falls.

Rosa earned her second shutout in as many days, stopping all five shots she faced.

Her counterpart, Corrin Cook,

didn’t fare so well. The Cougars goalie stopped an impressive 11 shots in the game, but the Bulldogs still managed to push six through.

UMD spread around the scor-ing, with a total of 11 different play-ers finding their way onto the score sheet.

The goals were scored by six dif-ferent players – Potter (who also added two additional assists), sophomore defenseman Riley Allen, junior midfielder Sally Stromme, senior midfielder Kelsey Gratz, sophomore forward Mau-reen Stormont and freshman for-ward Leah Nesheim.

The game marked the first con-ference matchup between UMD and Sioux Falls, which joined the NSIC this season.

But after the weekend, all the attention was on UMD’s freshman goalie.

“It was awesome, especially since it was my first home college games,” Rosa said. “I couldn’t have done it without the support of my team.”

The Bulldogs, who were picked to finish third in the NSIC, have 10 conference games left this sea-son to solidify a berth in the NSIC tournament and potentially the NCAA tournament.

“I definitely believe it’s a con-fidence boost,” Rosa said. “We’ll start going up (in the conference standings).”

UMD will take on Augustana College and Wayne State on a long road trip this weekend.

Bulldogs soccer gets back on track

After hitting the road for three games last week, the Bulldogs come home with their first loss of the year, finishing 2-1 on the week.

UMD started the week at St. Cloud State on Tuesday night. The Huskies jumped out to an early 1-0 lead, but the Bulldogs stayed aggressive and took control to dominate the rest of the game and clinched the game in 4 sets, win-ning every set by double-digits (21-25, 25-14, 25-14, and 25-13). Kate Lange finished with 20 kills and Mariah Scharf contributed 13 kills herself.

Then the Bulldogs traveled to the University of Sioux Falls on

Friday and went back to their over-whelming ways, sweeping their opposition for the ninth time this year. The defense was stifling for the Bulldogs as they held the Cou-gars to an attack percentage of .076 throughout the match including a -.036 in the third and final set.

The next night, UMD ran into a roadblock at No. 4 Southwest Min-nesota State. The Mustangs packed the attacking line of the Dogs a total of 10 times and held them to a season low in attacking percentage (.121) on Saturday. In a back and forth first set the Bulldogs had 2 set points but failed to convert and the Mustangs rallied to take the set 28-26 and never looked back.

The University of Minnesota Duluth (14-1 overall, 4-1 NSIC)

will be back in action at home against two excellent NSIC oppo-nents this weekend. The Bulldogs will face two top-tiered opponents, No. 4 Concordia-St. Paul on Friday night and No. 10 Minnesota State-Mankato on Saturday afternoon. This will be the Bulldogs’ second- and third-straight top-10 opponent in as many games.

Last year, the Golden Bears knocked the Bulldogs out of the NCAA tournament in the second round. Also, the Bulldogs-Golden Bears matchup last year at Romano Gymnasium produced the highest attendance Bulldog game ever (2,441 fans). The Mavericks were 1-1 against the Dogs last year with both teams winning on the road.

The Bulldogs cross-country teams had the weekend off, but they will be preparing for one of the biggest meets of the season this weekend. UMD will compete at the prestigious Roy Griak Invi-tational hosted by the University of Minnesota Saturday in Min-neapolis. The meet is one of the largest in the country, combining several NCAA divisions. Both the men’s and women’s teams have enjoyed some success this season, placing several runners in the top 10 at their previous meet.

Men’s HockeyIt’s that time of year again.

The first men’s hockey national poll has been released. The Bull-dogs are ranked No. 12 in the country in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine poll released Monday. As always, they will be stacked up against some tough competition in their final season as a member of the WCHA. Min-nesota earned a No. 2 ranking while North Dakota checked in at No. 4. Denver sits at No. 8 and Wisconsin rounds out the poll at No. 15. The start of the season is just days away as the Bulldogs officially open practice on Oct. 6 and begin the season with a pair of non-conference games against Ohio State on Oct. 12-13 at Amsoil Arena.

Duluth citizens swept Brighton

Beach for debris Saturday as part of an ongoing international fight for a cleaner environment.

Armed with a garbage bag and latex gloves, local Beach Sweep volunteer Steve O’Neill sifted through his latest score: cigarette butts, beer cans and compost.

O’Neill clenched a yellowed bud.

“Many people toss these things without realizing they’re not exact-ly biodegradable,” he said.

“We keep in mind that all waste … runs toward the lake,” said Sar-ah Erickson, the event coordinator for Brighton’s annual Beach Sweep and education director at the Great Lakes Aquarium.

“This is a snapshot event,” she said. “It’s one of many to prevent ongoing environmental damage and to promote citizen awareness.”

The aquarium collaborates with sponsors to host a throng of annual

beach sweeps around Duluth. The data collected is then reported to the international Ocean Conser-vancy, which determines and sug-gests if any environmental action should be taken.

Erickson said activists use the conservancy’s scientific data to build a number of environmental action cases. She includes the case for the tobacco-free policy recently approved for the lakewalk, which prohibits the smoking of tobacco and other alternative substances in the area.

“We do this because every year we bag hundreds of pounds of waste,” said Erickson. “That’s in addition to numerous bikes, shop-ping carts, and other large items we find rusting along the lake.”

O’Neill said, “But that’s not to say the lakes aren’t cleaner. People are throwing their trash away, and some are picking up the slack for those who don’t.”

Erickson attributed this prog-ress to the success of involved citi-zens and Duluth environmental programs.

O’Neill referenced the Broken Window Theory, which proposes that a city plagued with broken windows will continue to plunge into chaos, as a reason he contin-ues to volunteer.

“If we let even some pollution occur, we risk others thinking it’s OK to pollute,” said O’Neill. “Like the broken window, it’s infec-tious—and that’s exactly why we’re here to clean.”

Duluthians band together to clean local waters

Machinery hummed, tools clanked, and shovelful after shov-elful of dirt was pried from the ground this past weekend at Spirit Mountain as trail builders helped to construct a new mountain bike trail.

“It’s huge,” said Dave Markman, a fifth-year student at UMD major-ing in outdoor education/recre-ation. “It is the spark that will set mountain biking in Duluth apart from the rest of the country.”

Markman is part of a team of builders who have been helping to construct the trail over the last two weeks. The trail is designed to be a “flow trail,” which will allow new and beginner riders to easily navi-gate the course while also allowing more experienced riders to hit fea-tures more aggressively.

“This is a gravity-based trail with lots of big flowy features like berms and rollers,” said Hansi Johnson, Midwest Regional Director of the International Mountain Bicycling Association.

The trail is being built in hopes that it will help develop riders in a discipline of the sport that is often overlooked in the Midwest.

“The reason it’s beginner is to hit a greater volume of people and then create riders who can ride more advanced trails later on,” said Johnson. “We don’t have a lot of trails that are great at pulling peo-ple into the sport.”

When the trail is completed, it will stretch almost two miles down the side of the mountain and will end at the bottom near the new chalet that is currently under con-struction.

The trail features some 40 berms that help riders gain speed to catch air off of jumps throughout the

trail. Johnson stressed, however, that the trail is rideable to new and advanced riders alike.

Markman sees the trail as an opportunity not only for the bik-ing community in Duluth but also for the city.

“It’s going to benefit the whole community just because we are

going to have riders coming from all over—staying in our hotels, eating at our restaurants, buying souvenirs,” Markman said. “What an awesome opportunity Duluth has right now.”

Spirit Mountain was chosen for the trail because of its terrain, its existing infrastructure, and

because it was already part of the master plan at Spirit Mountain to have mountain bike trails. A new high-speed quad chair lift is being installed at the mountain that will hopefully someday shuttle riders and their bikes back up the hill.

The new trail is not current-ly open for the public to ride,

although Spirit is hopeful to have it open later this fall.

IMBA flow school Along with the construction, the

new trail also played host to a trail building school this past weekend with people attending from as far away as New Mexico.

The school was put on by the International Mountain Bicycling Association and focused on dif-ferent aspects of building the flow trail and its features.

“The idea of a flow trail is rela-tively new to mountain biking,” Johnson said. “The idea with the school is to educate people on what exactly it is, sustainable ways to build it, and ways to build it that are fun.”

Markman, who was part of the school, stressed that not only did the school focus on how to build a flow trail, but it also addressed the issue of sustainability and water management.

“We’re not building a trail,” Markman said. “We’re building a water management system.”

The school was also an oppor-tunity for trail builders to try their hand at mechanized trail building, using a mini-excavator and mini-bucket to help clear and scoop dirt.

Barry Buhr, a local Duluth rider, saw it as a great way to learn new trail-building skills.

“I’d love to be one of the people who could operate the mini-exca-vator … or at least be on a crew that specializes in working around the equipment,” said Buhr.

Buhr also enjoys the crossover appeal of the trail.

“I’ve been mostly a cross-coun-try rider for a while now, so it’s just a good way to complement it and be an all-around rider,” said Buhr. “The smile factor is also pretty high.”

Django Django’s: Self-Titled

The new British band Django Django is the traditional de�ni-tion of a psychedelic indie band, but as commonly as there are worthy indie-bands, there are equally worthy twists and unique compositions to the music. I could describe their sound best as a mix between the Beta Band and the Beach Boys. One hears the entertaining version of the music while congruently hearing the deeper toned moments as essential to the intended sound. The single “Default” is a great example of this. It starts with transitioning rhythms under a tambourine metronome until Vincent Ne� is introduced with his strong lyricism; like happy background music on sharp waves of musical �air. The credit to the rhythm should naturally go to the drummer and producer David Maclean, which basically means mastery of expressing the music in an organized and interesting sound. Not much more can be said about Django Django’s debut except what can be interpreted by the whoever listens to this ambitious and adventurous band. Together with Jimmy Dixon on bass and Tommy Grace on synths, Django Django �nishes modestly in the marathon of indie rock.

How do you get to class? There are a lot of options. Maybe you longboard, walk, bus, or bike. If you bike and are not signed up for the Bike to Campus program, you may want to consider trying it out.

“Bike to Campus” is a University of Minnesota program designed to motivate students and staff to bike to work or class. Promoting earth friendliness and fitness, the Bike to Campus program began at the U of M Twin Cities campus. It came to UMD when the staff and the Office of Sustainability began searching for a way to reward staff for taking alternate transportation to work. The staff tested out the program this summer, and this fall is the first time it has been offered to students.

Bryan French heads the program at UMD. It began when French wrote a grant with Pat Keenan and presented it to the chancellor, who approved it. The program cost $5,000.

Staff and students who choose to participate have their bikes equipped with a tracker, which they can get installed on their bike for free from French himself in the Office of Sustainability, or at the RSOP rental office. When a student bikes past one of the two solar powered “zappers” on cam-pus, their mileage is tracked for the day. A student can enter how far they have to bike to school, and the system doubles that, assuming they are biking back home. Each participant gets an online profile which tells them how far they have biked, how many points they have, and tracks which days they have biked.

The university studied what they believed to be the most frequently traversed entrances to campus and placed the zappers accordingly. The bike zappers are located on University Drive. One is between the Darland building and the Lund heating plant, the other is near Sta-dium apartments.

Dero, a Twin Cities company, makes the zappers and provides the system.

If you bike to school eight times or more a month, you are entered into a drawing for $100 of prizes from Ski Hut, Twin Ports Cyclery, or Continental Bike Shop.

If you are ambitious and bike to school eight times a month all semester long, you are entered to win a bike worth $500 from a local bike shop.

So why bike versus walking or taking the bus? French stressed the freedom that comes with taking a bike, saying it lets you arrive and leave on your own time.

“The bicycle is the most efficient type of transit that exists,” French said. “The benefit is that you are more attuned to the natural world.”

French not only talks the talk, he walks the walk—or bikes it. He bikes to work every morning.

“It’s fun, you have the wind on your face,” said French, who bikes past Hawk Ridge on his way to work.

Perhaps you are someone who wants to bike to school, but is intimidated by the hills. The Bike to Campus program accepts you. The DTA is also more than accom-modating to cyclists, providing year-round bike racks on the front of the bus.

The same day French was inter-viewed, a total of 27 riders had checked in with the Ride to Cam-pus program.

With about 12,000 students and many staff, that number is rela-tively small. Granted, the program is in its first semester, but imagine how many cyclists you see every day on campus.

If you do participate in the pro-

gram, there is one more incentive. Riders can build teams of two or more riders, and the team with the most miles biked at the end of each month wins a $50 gift certificate to Bulldog Pizza. Currently there are no teams signed up, so if you decide

to make a team, your odds of win-ning are stellar. Contact French at bfrench@d.umn.edu if you are interested in forming a team.

Dear Alex,

My relationship problem has to do with my boyfriend’s lack of attention spent on me. This sum-mer was great! We spent almost every day together, but since school started I only get to see him on weekends, if that even happens. Can you give me advice on how to tell him that I want to spend more time with him during the week? I don’t want him to think I’m too clingy, but I feel like we’re not even dating anymore.

From, Time seeker

Dear Seeker,

Time with a significant other is a crucial aspect that needs atten-tion if your relationship is going to survive. Sadly, aspects of back-to-school can disrupt the precious time you two once had, although, this should not be an excuse for not spending time with you. Sit-ting down to chat about some-thing serious can always be diffi-cult. Realistically it shouldn’t be. Communication is the number one thing that makes or breaks relationships. From sexual to emo-tional aspects, communication is key! A good way to start a healthy conversation without feeling like a stage-five clinger is to simply ask if he has the time.

Maybe set a date and a time to hang out. You don’t need to mention that you “need to talk” because let’s face it, no one likes to hear that. Maybe make dinner,

or plan something fun for the two of you to do together like an apple orchard date. Something you two might have done together before you were dating. When there seems to be a good break in con-versation mention that you’d like to talk about how busy things have gotten. Don’t let your tone come off as hostile but let him know that you enjoy spending time with him, YOUR time with him. By com-municating this to him it will not only compliment him and make him feel good, but hopefully plant a seed of opportunity for future time together.

Quality time is one of the five love languages that is necessary for a healthy relationship. Don’t wait any longer to share how you are feeling. There is nothing wrong with enjoying quality time with your mate. Wanting to hang out with your boyfriend for more than a limited two-day stretch doesn’t show that you’re needy but just a caring girlfriend. Good luck!

Students and faculty took to the stage last Friday night for the first ever “Super Gay Cabaret”.

Put on by the UMD GLBT the cabaret highlighted the talents of students and faculty alike. The per-formances commented on the tri-als and tribulations of all relation-ships.

“Because it had never been done before, here, I thought it was excep-tional,” Angie Nichols “educa-tional, very funny...over the top at times, but that’s part of the point!”

UMD GLBT hopes to keep a Fall program going for years to come.

Several sleepless nights and par-anoid days passed since that one with nothing of wild importance, but I was constantly on alert. Every time the walls creaked at night, I was wide awake. Each door slam I heard on campus seemed like an approaching dread. My life was quickly becoming panicked and terrifying, and it was absolutely exhausting.

Apparently, it was starting to

show. After twitching through my classes the following Friday, I ner-vously entered my apartment and, once any potential threat was satis-factorily reduced, Kate found me. She padded into the room in her purple slippers and set her hands on her hips.

“What’s going on, Beka?” she asked in a tone that could have been either threatening or con-cerned. “You look like hell.” 

I shrugged and stepped out of my sneakers, making sure to lock the door behind me. I caught sight

of myself in the hall mirror and bit my lip. I could have sworn that I’d combed my hair in the last week, even if it didn’t look like it.

“I’m just being careful,” I lied, “That’s all.”

Completely unbelieving, Kate sighed and handed me a warm cup of raspberry Lipton. “I think you should see somebody,” she sug-gested, as if I hadn’t thought of that. Talking to a therapist would just be more dangerous. How was I supposed to know that the per-son I was speaking to was not the same person whom I had seen that

night?“Anyway, did you see the news

today? The police identified the victim of that murder a few weeks ago.”

Somehow, I didn’t drop my mug.“Who was it?”“Marcus Bull,” she answered.

“He was stabbed in the stomach and pushed off of a building down-town. What a shame. He was quite a looker.”

My already bubbling stomach did a flip. I was close friends with Marcus in high school. He was studying to be a teacher and was

working on a construction project to build a new elementary school in the area.

Before I could reply, Kate hand-ed me a little folded paper that had my name on it in slanted, angular writing. “This was left for you,” she said casually before returning to her bedroom.

I opened it cautiously and was greeted by a spillage of glitter from the paper out onto the floor. It landed on my shirt, on my shoes, and all over the carpet. On the note, in the same angular writing, was, “Watch yourself.”

Living abroad is something entirely different from merely vis-iting. I’m from the UK and I’d vis-ited the United States on multiple occasions before settling on com-ing here for a year of study. When visiting a place you gain rushed impressions of it, an artificial view created by the tourism indus-try that highlights the wonders and conceals the more negative aspects. Living here, even for the short period of time I’ve been here thus far, has proved to be a much more holistic way of learning about the country.

A key difference between visit-ing and living somewhere is actu-ally having to buy things at the supermarket: food, appliances,

electronics, clothes … just every-thing necessary for setting up a permanent residence. The differ-ences, even in an English-speaking country, are baffling. Everything is over-sized here and in such variety that making a decision about which version of a product to buy seems an unsolvable conundrum. I just want detergent, anything that will cause my clothes to be clean, I do not need this level of choice! Get-ting around alone, too, is strange. Public transport is popular and rel-atively simple in the UK and every-thing is very close together. Here, everything is so spaced out that walking is less plausible and buses are far less frequent and accessible. Driving seems to be much more of a necessity.

Practicality aside, being foreign in a less touristy community is a unique experience. Since I visited

the larger American cities previ-ously my foreign-ness was not com-mented upon so much, but here it makes me unique. People are interested by me immediately and I feel as though I have discovered as much about my own culture as I have theirs, just by answering their questions about things I had never truly considered before. I feel as

though to engage with another cul-ture is to engage equally with one’s own.

So far my time has been event-ful, informative and, most of all, fun. The liberty of being abroad means that I’m much more likely to be adventurous. I anticipate a lively year, full of learning and growth!
