Diversity was cel-ebrated this weekend at the Power in Diver-sity Conference.

This was the 4th annual Power in Diversity Leader-ship Conference was hosted at SCSU.The conference included workshop sessions, keynote speakers, and entertainment.

“We are the

change – where do we go from here?” was its slogan, as the conference provided leadership train-ing and promoted self-acceptance in the context of diversity.

Workshop topics ranged from career preparation to un-derstanding different cultures. There were special workshops for staff and faculty, as well as a Diversity Job and Internship Fair

and Graduate School Fair.

For entertainment, there was a Variety Show and Open Mic Night – held on Friday and Saturday night, respectively – both hosted by New York comedian Sheng Wang. These events featured talent from the St. Cloud area, including SCSU students.

Keynote speaker Eric Thomas gave

an address Saturday morning about di-versity and its linkage with success. Thomas Q[�I�PQOP�XZWÅTM�UW\Q-vational speaker and author.

“Your perspec-tive of diversity is connected to your success,” Thomas said. “I think a lot of people, unfortunately, lack exposure.”

Thomas said that the road to diversity begins with a personal

decision. An individu-al can begin to bridge the gaps in society one relationship at a time.

“I made up in my mind that I’m going to communicate with, [and] be a part of a larger society,” Thomas said. “And so, by the grace of God, I had an op-portunity to start it on my own. Then I

Many are awaiting the opening of the new and improved National Hockey and Event Center, which is currently undergoing UIQV\MVIVKM��5WLQÅKI\QWV[�will incorporate four stories of balconies overlooking the entrance to the NHEC.

Head coach of the Hus-kies Bob Motzko gave us a tour of the areas currently under construction. He was not the one supposed to be giving the tour, but he was more than happy to enlighten us on some of the renovations being made.

Motzko walked us through the various levels under construction for the new entrance, comment-ing on what the project will look like. Remodeling for the National Hockey Center includes getting rid of the cinderblock look and replac-ing it with decorative blocks featuring SCSU’s colors of red and black. SCSU’s QV[QOVQI�_QTT�QVÆ]MVKM�\PM�entryway as well.

Large glass panes will make up the face of the en-trance, which will provide a view into the lobby. Four lev-els with balconies overlook-ing the entrance will make up the architectural change, QVKT]LQVO�WNÅKM�IVL�KT]J�levels. A poster prediction at the top of the staircase

After Motzko showed us the multiple levels of the

Gov. Mark Dayton outlined his “Budget for a Better Minnesota” plan on Tuesday, which includes an increase in funding for all levels of education.

The budget, which also recommends substantial tax changes and property tax relief, would provide $240 million in new money for higher education.

The boost in funding is a welcome change for educators and students after years of freezes or state funding cuts.

The plan includes an 8.1 percent increase in funding for K-12 education and a 9.6 increase in fund-ing for higher education over the current biennium.

Dayton proposes add-ing $80 million to the State Grant, a 25 percent increase.

Students who qualify for ÅVIVKQIT�IQL�KW]TL�[MM�IV�average increase of $300, and some will see increases of more than $1,000.

Dayton’s budget would provide an $80 million funding increase for the University of Minne-sota and Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) system.

The proposal also says that MnSCU tuition

increases will be limited to 3 percent, in exchange for the state funding increase.

The governor’s plan also includes a proposed 3 percent tuition increase for MnSCU which includes SCSU and St. Cloud Technical & Community College.

Dayton proposed an additional $92 million to support early learn-ing, including $44 million in scholarship for low or middle income parents.

The proposal also includes $40 million to help cover the cost for all-day every day kindergarten at Minnesota schools.

Currently, the state only pays for half-day kinder-garten.

With the change, state WNÅKQIT[�PWXM�\PI\�Q\�_QTT�increase the number of students in all-day kin-dergarten from just over 50 percent to 85 percent within a few years.

The governor’s plan also will increase per-pupil funding to school by $118 million. In addition, the budget would increase special education funding to $125 million.

The governor will not immediately pay back the $1 billion borrowed from schools to balance the state

schools to balance the state budget in recent years. School districts can

expect their money by 2017, he said.

The plan also includes an in-come tax hike on the top 2 percent of Minnesotans, which includes couples with taxable income of $250,000 or more. The hike totals $1.1 billion. The plan will also

broaden the sales tax base to in-clude clothing with a cost of more than $100 and online goods and services, resulting in $2.1 billion in new revenue.

The plan will also provide prop-erty tax relief, up to $500 dollars per family.

A 94-cent tax increase for tobacco will total $370 million in revenue.

In total, spending will be boosted by $37.9 billion. More than $640 million will be invested in Minnesota students.

Staff Report

Cellulose, considered to be the world’s most natural abundant, renewable, and biodegradable polymer, will be the focus of the keynote address at this NanoTECH 2013.

Theodore Wegner, assistant director of the De-partment of Agriculture’s Forest Products Laboratory (FPL) in Madison, Wis., will deliver the keynote address at NanoTECH 2013.

Nanocellulose, a plastic-TQSM�ÅJZW][�UI\MZQIT��LM-rived from wood pulp, is the focus of Wegner’s research. He supervises scientists investigating nanocellulose, which could have an impact on several industries includ-ing automobile, aerospace, and defense.

Researchers at FPL are going beyond nanocel-lulose to something even smaller: cellulose nano-crystals (CNCs). CNCs are extremely light and stronger than metals and could be used to create biodegrade-able medical implants, body armor and adhesives.

Wegner will discuss FPL’s research efforts and summarize efforts in Can-ada, Finland and Japan to

expand commercialization of cellulosic nanomaterials.

Other sessions hosted for NanoTECH 2013 will include nanotechnology research in agriculture, environment, energy and medicine and feature speak-ers from companies that are using nanotechnology. SCSU faculty and students will also present research.

The conference will be hosted on Feb. 28 in the At-wood Ballroom and Wegner will be giving his address at 9 a.m.

Students can attend the conference for free, faculty and other attendees are $95 each.

Dr. Tricia Rose was another keynote speaker at the conference. The author and lecturer spoke Fri-day night about the way America’s political and social systems favor

certain personal characteristics over others.

“As you gain whatever success you gain, you have to understand the system for what it is. You have to hold yourself and everybody else

accountable for being honest about that to make it better.”

Tavis Smiley, the face of the conference this year, gave a keynote address about poverty Saturday night. He recently co-authored the book “A Poverty Manifesto” with Dr. Cornel West.

“The problem with America is, these days, there’s a highway into poverty, but not even a side-walk out,” Smiley said. “One in two Americans is either in or near poverty. That’s 150 million fellow

citizens.”Smiley went on to say that

“poverty is threatening our democ-racy,” and America must have fairer wealth distribution. Smiley said this epidemic of poverty could bring the nation to its knees.

“Those numbers are not sustain-able,” Smiley said. “You can’t run a democracy that way. The gap between the rich and the rest of us continues to widen.”

In the days of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. he did what he thought he had to do. What he would do today was the discussion _PQKP�ÅTTML�\PM�)\_WWL�Theater Wednesday.

Professors Tamrat Tademe and Luke Tripp hosted a dialogue entitled, “Challenges of the 21st Century: What Would Dr. King Do?” in honor of the late civil rights leader.

The dialogue came days after President Barack Obama was sworn in to his [MKWVL�\MZU�WN �WNÅKM��WV�I�Bible once owned by King.

The professors spoke of the visions of the two leaders and looked at the \_MV\a�ÅZ[\�KMV\]Za�\PZW]OP�the eyes of King.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. earned a divinity mas-ter’s degree and a doctor-ate in theology. In his later years, he spoke out against the Vietnam War.

King was assassinated in 1968 while support-ing an African American sanitation workers’ strike in Memphis, Tenn.

The late civil rights leader, author, activist and

Christian minister is hon-ored with a federal holiday on the third Monday of January each year.

As the dialogue began, Tademe spoke of the sig-VQÅKIVKM�WN �3QVO¼[�^Q[QWV�

“King gave his life and career for the civil rights movement.” Tademe said. “Ninety-nine percent of politicians are literally pimping him out. They don’t understand his vi-sion.”

Tademe questioned whether King would be welcomed in the White House today.

King’s vision was of peace, he said. The United States is addicted to war.

“Would King sign on to endless war efforts?” he said, “Probably not.”

Tripp noted that Dr. King saw three evils in our world: militarism, racism, and capitalism.

A country’s values can be measured by looking at their budget, Tripp said. The United States prides it-self on having the strongest military force.

“We live in an empire that has weapons of death, not healing.” Tripp said. “Why can’t we boast about having the best healthcare and the best K-12 educa-

tion?”The country is ran by

a wealthy elite, Tademe added.

“The system is set up like an ocean-liner, the ones at the bottom take the water ÅZ[\�º�<ILMUM�[IQL�

Tademe and Tripp said that the visions of Obama

and King are very different.“The vision of Dr. King

has nothing to do with the vision of Obama put forth QV�PQ[�ÅZ[\�\MZU�º�<ILMUM�said.

A political leader can only make change if not worried about getting re-elected, Tademe said.

He remains hopeful, however, that Obama’s sec-ond term will bring change.

Though some believe King’s vision is outdated, both hope to see more of King’s vision in Obama’s second term.

The dialogue was then opened to questions.

An attendee asked whether there was ever an acceptable time to use force.

In reply, Tripp said that in times of self defense, the use of force is sometimes necessary. The problem is when the acts of an individual or group cause the U.S. to lash out against a nation.

A person is not a nation, he said.

Another attendee ques-tioned what today’s genera-tion can do.

Tripp encouraged students to think critically about their values.

“It is important to educate yourselves and as-sume responsibility for what matters to you.” Tripp said. “Then see what you are able to do.”

The event was spon-sored by Multicultural Student Services.

“I have a dream…” Those powerful words spoken by the man we take time as a nation to honor last week.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. uttered those words, his hope for the future nearly 50 years ago. His dream for his children to not be judged by the color of their skin, but by who they are as a person. Looking through the pages of recent history and the events unfolding not only here in Central Minne-sota but throughout the nation and even the world, I think it’s time the world could use more dreamers.

For starters, I have a dream where children don’t have to live in fear of violence. Not only in our American schools, where images of New-town, Conn. bring humble reminders of the fragility of life, but of those abroad with war-torn countries like Syria or even the little girl shot by the Taliban for wanting to go to school and learn. Our children, our hope for the future, are living in a world of terrible violence, things no one should be exposed to, especially at such a young age. I have a dream a time will come when kids can just be carefree kids.

I have a dream that

people everywhere will treat each other with respect. No more bully-ing, no more insults, no more derogatory terms. Treating others with the dignity and integrity they deserve as human beings, regardless of who they are, where they live, what they look like and everything in between. Is it so hard to follow the age old advice of treating others how you would like to be treated? Apparently it is. I have a dream people will see others as their equals, not merely disposable faces.

I know this might sound naïve, and maybe it is. Am I asking for too much? Probably. Are my dreams and hopes unre-alistic? It may seem so. But isn’t that what they thought of Dr. King and his dreams? Is it so foolish to dream of a better world for ourselves and the ones who come after us?

Dr. King’s dreams are a work in progress, but progress has been made in achieving his dreams. It’s my hope people will want to make an improvement on the world we live in. It’s possible right? I can only dream.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A dream that hasn’t come true

Worth 100 WordsI wish they had more restaurants that catered to healthy eating.

;]ZM��aW]¼^M�OW\�aW]Z�;]J_Ia��IVL�aW]Z�8IKQÅK�?WS��_WWPWW��whole restaurants), but it is so easy to order unhealthy - or un-healthy amounts of - food there. As someone who is struggling to be more healthy but just plain loves to eat, going to a restaurant can be downright scary. I think that businesses like those two would attract a lot of sales. People could go out on their lunch breaks and feel good about it. They should open a restaurant that offers only healthy food with nutrition facts included with every meal.

Oh, and they should be cheap, too.

Make the choice before engaging in an activity that may make a baby.

By Phyllis E. Vanburen SCSU Professor of Spanish, German, and Foreign Languages

Choice comes before creating life

I want to start this column by thanking Professor Vanburen for contacting the newspaper to re-spond to our editorial page. It exists to foster healthy dialogue within the campus community, and we encour-age anyone and everyone to voice their views.

Now, to my take on her question.“Where would the pro-

choicers be if their mothers

had supported abortion?”

First of all, no one I know sup-XWZ\[�IJWZ\QWV��?Pa�_W]TL�aW]�support an invasive procedure that can have emotional implications for your fellow human beings?

?PI\�1�IVL�UW[\�XZW�KPWQKMZ[�support is an individual woman’s right to choose whether that proce-dure is best for her, her family and the world.

So, to answer the question, I have no idea where I’d be. My mother would have been a very dif-ferent person if she had “supported abortion.”

I’ll rework the question to one that gets asked frequently – these are no longer the words of Prof. Vanburen, they are my speculation of what some may ask:

“Where would the pro-


had supported choice?”

That’s an easy one for me: I’d be sitting here, writing this column.

My mother, of blessed memory, was a wonderful woman. She believed in self-determination by women and frequently criticized the status quo.

My mother was pro-choice, and so is almost every woman in my family.

So, that leads us to the heart of the matter:

“Where would the pro-


had had an abortion?”

Being a rational, critical-thinking human, I can answer that: I would never have existed. And no one would have known the difference.

That statement has no actual valence. If I never existed, no one

would mourn my not being here. ?M�LWV¼\��I[�P]UIV[��_ITS�IZW]VL�saddened by the fact that we might have a great friend if only they had come to exist.

Surely some women have emo-\QWVIT�LQNÅK]T\QM[�IN\MZ�IV�IJWZ\QWV��So I suppose I can say that my mother may have had emotional LQNÅK]T\QM[�PIL�[PM�IJWZ\ML�\PM�KMTT[�that later became me.

But I don’t know that for sure. It’s not my place to tell any person how they should feel about the choices they make about their body.

The fact is, 50-90 percent of ¹KWVKMX\QWV[º��NMZ\QTQbML�MOO[��VM^MZ�implant. If life begins at conception, women’s bodies technically abort frequently.

Many pro-lifers say they take their reasoning from the Bible. I personally choose not to take my UWZIT[�NZWU�I�JWWS�\PI\�OTWZQÅM[�genocide and condones rape. I don’t believe a book has any power if you can cherry-pick which parts are easiest for you to follow.

If you don’t support choice, encourage friends not to get an abortion.

But please don’t force me and all the other people you don’t know to adhere to your moral standards.

Thanks, but my mother was pro-choice

Twenty-some years ago, Dr. Gerald Grow of Florida A&M University wrote about teaching learners to be self-di-rected through the stages of education. Many college students today are still showing passive attitudes in learning, whether consciously or not.

Shepherd Manifesto

From my genuine observation, many students still attend college like cattle waiting to be fed by their rancher. They attend classes, complete the assigned work, and take tests. It is no joking mat-ter when a friend of mine who teaches advanced courses at Methodist College in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, titled him-self “Shepherd” on Facebook to justify the nature of his work.

My skepticism is enforced every time I witness a college graduation ceremony: Those excited souls, dressed in dark robes and hats, marching eagerly into the hall after a staff-holder called the marshal; it’s a real-life role-play of the whole shep-

herd and sheep impression.I mean, we as students are capable

of doing more than just being a piggy bank. Information technology and new communication tools today make learn-ing beyond the brick-and-mortar college possible. The buzz around free and open access courses offered via the Internet is becoming hot as college administrators and policy-makers bite their tongues on \PM�XW[[QJQTQ\a�WN �TW[QVO�\PMQZ�RWJ[��\PMa�think they would be replaced by com-puter systems and grading software).

Peer Education

Using information communication technology, students can learn from other students and their respective learning resources. In other words, crowdsourcing your knowledge base – taking advantage of the fact that nobody knows everything but everybody has something to contrib-ute.

For instance, my knowledge of grant writing did not come from SCSU but a dear friend who studies at Carleton Col-lege. This friend of mine who received

an external research grant taught me the nuts and bolts to look for and apply for funding.

Combining various connections, espe-cially in concert with human-to-human contact, Dr. Drexler said that the most powerful learning experience is mani-fested in personal learning environments, systems that enable students to manage their own learning.

The Opportunity Drive

Fortunately, there are some oppor-tunities around our curricula that allow students to personalize their learning outcomes. Such occasions include intern-ships, independent study, research proj-ects, and self-driven academic groups.

In these self-directed learning struc-tures, the role of the professor is mini-mized to a facilitator or a coach, whom the students would consult when they

need expert knowledge or faculty spon-sorship.

I know, there are quite a bit of loaded terms here, but the idea is to unpack college, to make college less college-ish and rather an environment for indepen-dent inquiry. If you pay close attention to the trends around new technologies and learning strategies, you’ll realize that ��KITT[�NWZ�OZMI\MZ�[MTN�LQZMK\QWV�

In regards to the academe, we should rethink what it means to be rigorous. At the moment, take the wheel, and start directing your own education.

The faculty cello recital Wednesday night titled “An Evening with Beethovan”, was instrumental beauty on all fronts from players on stage, I just wish more people around St. Cloud were there to enjoy it.

The recital started at 6 p.m. in the Ruth Gant Recital Hall in the Performing Arts Center. I was a little late, but sitting out in the hall respectively wait-QVO�NWZ�I�[WVO�\W�ÅVQ[P�JMNWZM�1�KW]TL�MV\MZ��1�PMIZL�\PM�U]NÆML�sounds of piano and cello danc-ing together through the walls of the auditorium.

Pheobe Dalton at the front of the stage on the cello and Min Jung Kim playing the piano.

In between each segment of song, there was a silence of respect so chilling and deaf, I got goosebumps. Kim played the piano with slight hands, hitting her notes precisely and maintaining good rhythm with Pheobe on the cello.There were moments when she would roll many of the keys on the piano or break the song into a speedy upbeat tempo sent chills up my spine.

It was a battle of teamwork to create something harmonic. After they ÅVQ[PML��\PMa�ZMKMQ^ML�U]KP�applause from the audience, myself heartily included, as they bowed respectively.

The second part of the show featured a switch of Loren Fishman for Kim on the piano, and brought out Marion Judish for the violin. As the trio took the stage, with Judish and Dalton at the front manning their stringed instruments, they tuned their instruments appro-priately. With looks and nods to each other when they were

The trio sounded great together, almost heavenly. I for one am a huge fan of this genre of music, but their play would be astonishing even to non-fans. All three were in rhythm with each other, and sounded like a mini symphony playing their parts.

All in all, I enjoyed the con-cert very much. Hell, I was in a seat in one of the corners of the recital room and right behind a railing, but I was so focused on the performers on stage I forgot I was watching the entire con-cert through a space between bars of the handrails.

I hope more students will attend one of these recitals or concerts if another were to arise. This type of music is art.

The Hawkeye Initiative & the over-sexualization of women in comics

Edd Beran

MARQUEE EDITOR

When someone mentions the word “superhero”, chances are Batman or Superman come to mind. However, it’s likely some people may think of Wonder Woman or Storm from the X-Men. While female superheroes are on the rise, some people have found the way that they are presented to be degrading. In the comic book industry, companies have been under increasing pressure lately due to the vast amount of hyper-sexualized artwork that dominates the female image in print. Look at any X-men comic book cover and you are likely to see women de-picted with highly exaggerated features that, to some, border on pornography. While the issue of how the female form is presented in media has been under debate for years, the way women are represented in com-ics has been all but untouched, instead becoming more stylized and sexualized.

In September 2011, DC Comics launched a company wide reboot dubbed “The New ��º��?PQTM�\PM�ZMJWW\�_I[�I�Å-nancial success, it was met with harsh scrutiny over its depic-tion of women. In titles such as “Wonder Woman”, “Red Hood and the Outlaws” and “Cat-woman”, readers were shocked by the new depictions of fan NI^WZQ\M�KPIZIK\MZ[�;\IZÅZM�and Catwoman among others. ;\IZÅZM��WZQOQVITTa�LMXQK\ML�as a fun-loving and outgoing person, was transformed into a reclusive and promiscuous alien. Previously appearing as a character on the children’s television show “Teen Titans”, the new more adult themed heroine enraged parents with the new direction writer Scott Lobdell and artist Ken Rocafort were taking the character. After various outcries from parental groups, DC comics responded with “We’ve heard what’s being [IQL�IJW]\�;\IZÅZM�\WLIa�IVL�we appreciate the dialogue on this topic. We encourage people to pay attention to the ratings when picking out any books to read themselves or for their

children.” Meanwhile, in Cat-woman #1, the art consisted of a very graphic depiction of Bat-man and the titular character partaking in sexual intercourse. The issues were met with harsh [KZ]\QVa�Ja�KZQ\QK[�IVL�ÆIJ-bergasted fans, which were left wondering what motivated writer Judd Winick to portray the cult character in such a way. In response to public outcry, writer Judd Winick stated “This is a Catwoman for 2011, and my approach to her character IVL�IK\QWV[�ZMÆMK\�[WUMWVM�who lives in our times.”

DC Comics isn’t the only publisher in hot water over its depiction of women. Marvel +WUQK[�PI[�JMMV�]VLMZ�ÅZM�VW\�only for its art, but also for a lack of female led series. Cur-rently, Marvel is undergoing a company wide reboot in a simi-lar fashion to DC’s “New 52” titled “Marvel NOW!”. Prior to the new marketing campaign, Marvel comics hadn’t had a female lead since the series “X-23”, which was cancelled in November of 2011. When questioned on why there are so few female driven titles, former editor and current editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics stated, “The problem, I think, is that there are so few of our female characters that have achieved

the iconic status that translates QV\W�[]ZM�ÅZM�[ITM[�º�?PQTM�it’s true that not many people may have heard of Valkyrie or Elektra, Marvel Comics is cur-rently undergoing a new effort to make women the forefront of the “Marvel NOW!” campaign. With the recent announcement of an all woman X-men title, Marvel has been pushing titles such as Captain Marvel, Red She-Hulk and the upcoming Fearless Defenders, which all feature a female lead or entire female cast of characters.

However, despite Marvel’s current efforts, some comic books fans are still upset at how women are portrayed in the industry as a whole. As a result, a grassroots movement known as “The Hawkeye Initiative” is currently gaining support all throughout the comic commu-nity as a way of satirizing fe-male representation of women in comics. Originally launched as a Tumblr website, the Hawk-eye Initiative spearhead, and fe-male comic fan Noelle Steven-son aims to gain the attention of comic distributers by making art pieces depicting popular Marvel Comics character Hawkeye, in various poses held by female characters that artists believe to be impossible or sexu-ally provocative. The site openly

accepts artwork in hopes that it might lead to a more realistic depiction of women in com-ics. “As people become more aware of the extreme sexism in modern comics, they may begin to ask their favorite writers and artists for something different or look into alternative comics,” Stevenson said. “The Hawkeye Initiative is one way that people can express the desire for such a change in a way that is both compelling and fun.”

While there is no set stan-dard for how either sex should be portrayed, it is important to consider the consequences of such artwork in an increas-ingly popular medium, not only among teenagers and adults, but children as well. As super-PMZW�ÅTU[�KWV\QV]M�\W�JM�UILM��XMWXTM�WN �ITT�IOM[�IZM�ÅVLQVO�their way into the medium; and while there is a rating system in place, it does not limit access to young readers from adult con-tent. Therefore, a child familiar _Q\P�;\IZÅZM�NZWU�\PM�¹<MMV�<Q-tans” cartoon could easily have access to the new adult oriented incarnation. While I am all for []XMZ�PMZWQVM[�ÅOP\QVO�KZQUM�and saving the world, perhaps it is time for artists and writers to convey a more positive model of women for comic book en-thusiasts everywhere.

“We worked all week on shooting the X]KS��IVL�W]Z�ÅZ[\�OWIT�_I[�WNN �\PM�JT]M�line. If we could’ve just shot the puck more, we got chances off the pipes, just couldn’t get the looks we wanted,” said Hanmer in an interview after the game.

UND wasn’t going to let the Huskies stick within one for long though, as Lamou-reux would score her second goal of the VQOP\�Å^M�UQV]\M[�QV\W�\PM�[MKWVL�XMZQWL�\W�give UND a 4-2 lead.

Lamoureux would score her third goal of the game later in the period with a great wrist shot near the blue line that gave North Dakota a 5-2 lead that would carry UND into the third period.

Lamoureux’s twin sister, Jocelyne Lamoureux, would extend UND’s lead three minutes into the 3rd period, bringing the OIUM�\W�I�ÅVIT�[KWZM�WN ��

SCSU outshot UND eight-to-six in the \PQZL�XMZQWL��J]\�\PM�NW]Z�OWIT�LMÅKQ\�XZW^ML�to be too overwhelming for the Huskies to overcome.

“We just can’t allow them to shoot the puck like that tomorrow,” Giesen said.

The Huskies faced North Dakota again at 2 p.m. on Saturday.

would come up short once more against the overwhelming power of North Dakota’s of-

of the puck all night long. North Dakota (15-10-0, 10-9-0 WCHA) would outshoot SCSU 31-28, a close margin, but UND’s [PW\[�_W]TL�ÅVL�\PM�JIKS�WN �\PM�VM\�WV�three separate occasions. SCSU would not JM�IJTM�\W�ÅVL�Q\�WVKM�

SCSU wouldn’t be able to capitalize on the opportunity.

It wasn’t SCSU’s only chance to score within the period. Two or three times throughout the period, the Huskies had one-on-one chances on UND goalie Shelby Amsley-Benzie.

SCSU junior forward Molli Mott had a great chance at scoring with seven minutes TMN\�QV�\PM�ÅZ[\�XMZQWL��J]\�I�JTI\IV\�PQOP�sticking penalty caused Mott to lose control of the rebound off of Amsley-Benzie.

SCSU would fall behind 1-0 with four minutes when SCSU’s freshman goaltender Katie Fitzgerald couldn’t reach the puck in time when UND’s Meghan Dufault took a slap shot that went right between her legs.

“I almost had it, I saw it just a little too late. Can’t get them all. It was still a really good shot on her [Dufault’s] part,” Fitzger-ald said after the game.

Fitzgerald recorded 18 saves on the night and her record fell to 4-9-0 on the season, although her play isn’t what doomed the Huskies.

“Our goaltenders have played well all year. Every game they have given us a chance. That’s all they can do is give us a chance, we just need to get some in on the

other end,” said head coach Jeff Giesen after the game.

The second period of play would start at a much faster pace. North Dakota’s Andrea Dalen received a minor two-minute tripping penalty, but it wouldn’t be the Huskies who would capitalize on the opportunity.

UND’s senior center Jocelyne Lamou-reux would score on a shorthanded break-away goal that would put UND up 2-0.

The Huskies and UND play twice a year annually and the Huskies have not swept them since Jan. 27-28, 2006, so the hopes were high for the Huskies who are playing really good hockey.

put ourselves in a good spot and we’ve just got to keep our foot on the pedal.”

UND started the game with a good of-fensive attack with a few decent rushes, but _PMV�*ZWLbQV[SQ�[KWZML�PQ[�ÅZ[\�OWIT�I\��"��WN �\PM�ÅZ[\�XMZQWL��\PM�UWUMV\]U�KPIVOML�rapidly.

“The defense started it all by poking it off one of the guy’s sticks,” Brodzinski said. “[Jimmy] Murray went to take a shot and it went wide in the corner and bounced to my stick.”

“[Brooks] Bertsch said in the locker room before the game that we need to test this goalie early,” Brodzinski said. “I just remember that and it clicked and I found the corner.”

Hanowski put the Huskies up 2-0 at ��"��WN �\PM�ÅZ[\�XMZQWL�WV�I�XZM\\a�XI[[�play from freshman Kalle Kossila, who found Hanowski wide open in front of the net and Hanowski made a nice move.

“It kind of started when Kevin Gravel made a good rush to the net and he got it to Kalle,” Hanowski said. “Kalle got it to me and I just kind of made a quick move and shot it far side.”

EDITOR-IN-CHEIF

This summer, I went from loathing running to complet-

ing a rough-and-tough 5k.

This winter, I went from being a runner to being a stress

monster without time or money to exercise and eat right.

Sorry, folks.

In the last year, my diet an exercise routines have yo-

yoed: I went through a period of grief that really derailed

my attempts at healthy eating, and I didn’t have the energy

to get my ass moving.

Somehow, the advent of winter, my empty wallet and

the memory of two failed weight loss attempts convened to

get me back on track.

Who knew?

My secret weapons have been a new take on an old app,

Ua�I\�PWUM�Å\VM[[�ZW]\QVM�IVL�Ua�LQM\QVO�J]LLa�

My Fitness “Pal”.WZ�Ua�ÅZ[\�\_W�I\\MUX\[��\PQ[�XWX]TIZ�IXX�_I[�UWZM�

really hadn’t, and leaving my iPod at home as an excuse to

pig out.

<PQ[�\QUM��1�\WWS�KWV\ZWT��<PQ[�Q[�5A�Å\VM[[�XIT�I will track in a way that works for me: if it means I wait

until the next day, so be it.

If it means I sometimes don’t enter exercise calories lost,

so be it.

You’re my pal, not my mother, Mr. App.

;W�NIZ��\PI\�IXXZWIKP�PI[�_WZSML��1�VW�TWVOMZ�LMÅVM�Ua�diet via an app, so there’s no need for me to cheat it. I hold

myself accountable for eating healthy.

5a�IK\]IT�Å\VM[[�XITEver since my grandma recommended Walk at Home

with Leslie Sansone (yes, my grandma is one of those awe-

some senior citizens who’s in better shape than I am), I’ve

loved it.

Leslie and I have been on- and off-again over the years,

through diets and cold snaps and all kinds of stuff. I’ve

walked hundreds of miles with her on DVD, and she even

replied to a tweet I posted the other day (reach for the stars,

Mol).

My mother found her too enthusiastic. I love Leslie’s

positive attitude, her big smile and her understanding

approach: walk the way that’s best for you, and don’t be

ashamed if it isn’t perfect.

That said, it’s a hell of a workout, and it works every

muscle, unlike my beloved summer runs.

5a�LQM\�XIT�[�Sorry, that subhead was a bit of a stretch, but I think we

have a good thing going, here.

My partner has been my best ally in this eating-healthy

endeavor. He and I have tried dieting together and sepa-

rately before, but it’s never worked because one or both of

us was not fully committed.

This time, we’re both using the same app, we eat most

of our meals together, and we just plain talk about our diet

a lot. We keep each other apprised of progress and tough

times, and we hold ourselves and each other to healthy eat-

ing decisions.

I never thought he and I could do that, but we are.

What’s more, my sister and brother-in-law, who are also

my roommates, are dieting, too. We exchange recipes, make

plans to go out to healthy restaurants together and share

protein powder and hand weights.

All in all, I couldn’t have a better support system.

I thought that since I’d failed twice that I couldn’t lose

weight for good. I pictured myself humorously yo-yoing for

the rest of my life like a sitcom character, never actually get-

ting to the healthy weight I wanted.

I’m six pounds down, and I know I can and will keep

going until I lose all I want to lose.

After all, that’s what pals are for.

Losing weight: it’s easier with pals
