Good morning students, staff, and faculty of CSS,
So, after 14 issues, I think we might have this newspaper
thing down. We haven’t had any major issues yet this semester,
so I have to send out a hearty “thank you” to everyone
on staff here at The Cable, and hope that as we continue
throughout the year, we can continue to run as smoothly.
A month from today, we’ll be almost on the other side of
Spring Break which means that we’ll be on the home stretch
to the end of the year. Time flies!
This week, I feel the need to apologize to the theater staff
for our lack of coverage regarding the opening of And Then
There Were None last weekend. While the situation could have
been avoided, some commitments fell through and we were
not able to have a story written before the premiere. So, we’ve
got plenty of coverage leading into this weekend including
a play review and lots of great photos! On top of that, I will
encourage everyone to go out and check it out. You will not
regret it.
That’s all I have for now. There’s plenty of great coverage in
this week’s issue, so I hope you enjoy!
Until next time,
Joe Hansen

THE

Dances, Alcohol, Pregaming,
beer Gardens, Detox Stays, Consumption Tickets:
Equals fun?
A Le t t e r f r o m St e v e Ly o n S
Another year of Snowball. While 600 or so students dance the night away, others
are unresponsive on the bathroom floor, and others still are cuffed in the backseat of
a squad car. In the apartments underage students drink with those of age, then both
jump through screens, hide under beds, or get nasty and harass our RA’s or Security
because we dared to intervene.
When is enough is enough? When do college traditions and events that typically
are anticipated with enthusiasm become problematic to the point that they aren’t
worth continuing anymore? When do the smaller number of problem students ruin
it for the rest? Are we there at CSS?
This is not an isolated event particular to Snowball. These issues can and have
happened at any dance we have. Over the years, I have heard all the arguments
about why it’s not worth it to try to control alcohol use and its negative behavioral effects.
Suggesting changes to not allowing dances at CSS would no doubt bring these
arguments up again, but this is not so much about stopping drinking associated with
these events. It’s about the culture and atmosphere we want to have on campus. It’s
about how we want to treat one another and care for ourselves and our neighbors.
Really, it’s about how hard are we willing to fight for that culture? Should we minimize
these incidents because the majority of students act responsibly? Should we
have one set of rules for some students, and a separate set for others?
I don’t know the answers to these questions, but I do know we aren’t doing our
best. You should expect more from us and your fellow students. I know that there
are many that have to tolerate and often care for students who are severely intoxicated,
belligerent, rude and aggressive, physically and/or sexually harassing, and who
lie and blame others. These staff and other students who address these issues are
strong examples of our values. But they shouldn’t have to do what they do.
I am convinced that our strategy as a College related to dances needs to change.
I have asked Student Senate and all club and organization advisors to help me. I
welcome any student’s feedback on this issue. Together, we should be able to provide
new alternatives to these events that we can take pride in. I hope you help in that
effort!
Sincerely,
Steve Lyons

CSS student Roxanne Backowski
and UMD student Lauren Lundberg
spent last semester designing a civil war
exhibit for an internship. “The 18” tells
of the lives of 18 men from Duluth who
volunteered to fight in the civil war.
The exhibit displays panels which tell
the lives of those brave men. Of those
18 men, 4 never returned to Minnesota.
Along with the panels, the exhibit shows
“Th e 18”
3
artifacts from the civil war era, including
a wooden cradle, surgical instruments,
swords, and 156-year old hard tack.
Also displayed is a section of tree from
Gettysburg containing a bullet fragment.
The exhibit, which is displayed at the
Depot, is in Duluth for only a few months.
Afterward, it will travel around the state
to be displayed at other institutes. Don’t
miss a chance to see this wonderful
display of Minnesota history.

How long have you been working at
CSS?
14 years
Where did you attend college and what
was your major?
I completed my undergraduate education
at The University of Wisconsin,
majoring in Social Work. I later completed
a Master of Social Work degree at
UMD.
What is your job title? Where would a
student find you?
I am The Assistant Director of The
Student Center for Health and Well-being.
You can find me in Counseling Services,
Tower 2150. Primarily, my role is
providing individual counseling to students,
but I also get out of my office and
work with student groups, talk in classrooms,
and offer workshops on topics of
health and well-being.
What do you enjoy about your job?
Every day I talk to students about
what matters most in their lives. What
matters is different for everybody, but essentially
counseling is figuring out that
troubling question swirling around inside
your head that won’t go away. What
do I want for my future? How do I handle
all this stress? How can I stop worrying?
Should I end this relationship?
Why can’t I get better grades? What if I
don’t get into my major? Why do I feel so
down sometimes? What if I’m making a
mistake?
Counseling is a good way to go about

figuring that stuff out. Students come to
counseling, because despite their best efforts,
they just haven’t been able to find
a solution to that question, whatever it
may be. With support, they find answers
that work for their lives.
What are your hobbies?
Some of my favorite conversations
with students stem from this question.
I don’t like the word “hobbies” because
it trivializes what this means. It’s about
finding daily activities that create inspiration,
feed curiosity, develop intellect,
and ensure we experience the moment
in the day-to-dayness of life.
In addition to loving my job, I find
particular inspiration in two activities:
music and running.
I listen to hours and hours and hours
of music every week. Eventually I had to
figure out a way to channel all that energy,
and became a public radio DJ at
KUMD hosting a show featuring local
music (Tune in every other Wed from
5-7pm with DJ Teejay – that’s ME!).
I started running about two years
ago. My goal is to run Grandma’s Marathon
this spring. Running long distances
is fantastic fun!
What is your best memory from college?
I had terrific service learning experiences.
Those opportunities were transformational,
and prompted my decision
to pursue social work. My favorite service
learning assignment was volunteering
as a reading mentor with children
Vo l u m e 58

from the Hmong community. The experience informed my knowledge of the history
of Laos, the challenges of immigration, the impact of war. My perspective of the
world transformed, and deepened my understanding of the complexities of social
justice.
What activities, lectures, or sporting events do you enjoy attending on campus?
I am an enthusiastic fan of the following: Rief Run, Stockfest, Music Department
Performances, The Freshwater Review, Speak Up!, CSS Theatre Program, Wellness
Center Fitness Classes, CSS Women’s Hockey, Well U.
What is one thing each student should do before leaving CSS?
Take a class in something outside your comfort zone, outside your required
course or major, that you suspect might be cool - just because you want to! It might
be art, music, drama, history, French, philosophy, gender studies, political science,
math, poetry. I enjoyed my social work courses, but one of my favorite college courses
was a literature course. Taking a course for the purpose of exploring a curiosity is
one of the best ways to experience love of learning.

The opening performance of And
Then There Were None by the CSS Theater
on February 11 was fabulous.
This murder mystery, based on
the novel of the same name by Agatha
Christie, and directed by Merry Renn
Vaughan, had humor, suspense, suavity
and plenty of dead bodies
The characters, Englishmen and
women from a range of social classes, are
trapped together on an island by a mysterious
Mr. and Mrs. Owen. Their flirting,
bantering, and scolding is brought to
a halt when a record is played of a voice
accusing them all of crimes for which
they have not yet been punished.
Some characters have more of a
guilty conscious than others, and the
actors differentiate each other well. The
interplay between the tight-lipped prude
Emily Brent, played by Maxey Mitchell,
and the softer, modern Vera Claythorne,
played by Amanda Imberg, is one of
many highlights of the performance.
The sound effects and lighting add to
the sinister mood, and some very crafty
staging keeps the audience in suspense
until the very end. “I got chills,” one
woman said as she left the theater, which
was packed for the performance.
The show’s final performance dates
are 2/18, 2/19 and 2/20. Tickets, if any
are still left, will be available for sale at
the door the nights of performances.

Japan recently lost its 42 year ranking as the second largest economy in the world after
Japan released their data from its cabinet office on February 14. The data claims that this is due
to deflation, soft domestic demand and pressures by the industrialised world’s biggest debt. “It
is difficult for the deflation-plagued Japanese economy to achieve self-sustained growth,” said
Naoki Murakami, chief economist at Monex Securities. China is in second place, following The
United States as first, thanks to a now stronger yen. Although China has victoriously beat Japan,
Japan remains around 10 times richer on a per-capita basis, according to the International
Monetary Fund.
Many, including the World Bank, Goldman Sachs and others, estimate that China will
overtake the United States by 2025 for first place. “China is already at the forefront of the global
economy as the largest trader of goods internationally,” said Duncan Innes-Ker, a Beijing-based
analyst at the Economic Intelligence Unit. China is driving the global economy, while Japan
deals with deflation, an ageing population, and a huge public debt.
Although the economy may look bleak for Japan, there is great hope that change will come
about soon. Kono, chief economist at BNP Paribas in Tokyo claims that “the economy seems
to be recovering again, so the negative growth need not become the basis for pessimism about
Japan’s cyclical outlook.’’ Keeping a positive disposition, Japan’s government feels they could
reap the benefits of its huge neighbor China, the world’s number-one export market, to help
boost their economy.

A landmark decision by a court of law establishes a new interpretation of existing law or establishes
a new legal principle. One such decision made by the U.S. Supreme Court was in Brown
v. Board of Education, handed down on May 17, 1954. The ruling stated that “separate educational
facilities are inherently unequal.” This decision overturned the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson
ruling, which had upheld the principle of “separate but equal”. The Brown v. Board of Education
ruling did not require the desegregation of restaurants, restrooms or other public areas.

Recently released from house arrest (thanks to the pressure demanding her freedom
by human rights organizations such as Amnesty International) Aung San Suu Kyi, leader
of the Suu Kyi pro-democracy party, has called to Western countries to keep the sanctions
on Myanmar because the embargo hurts the military more than the civilians.
Many analysts have said that sanctions fail to bring about any reforms and simply
pushed the Myanmar generals and their business allies closer to neighbours China and
Thailand, which are investing heavily in the country’s vast energy reserves. Suu Kyi claims
that the embargo keeps the generals from purchasing more weapon technology for its
large military.
The sanctions on Myanmar include a range from bans on arms deals and new
investments in the country to travel restrictions on regime officials and the freezing of
offshore bank accounts. These specialized analysts claim that the embargo is damaging to
the economy and hurting the Burmese people.
Although Suu Kyi claims that sanctions might actually be hampering the military
efforts to expand, this may be an isolated case. The world has witnessed sanctions truly
oppressing civilians more than the government in numerous cases, to the point where
innocent people die of easily curable illnesses, malnutrition, etc.., as well as a drastic
decrease in the standard of living in said countries. Investigation is necessary to fully
understand how the embargo impacts the civilians and if it actually is valid.

Although many in the Arab world, as well as the rest of the world, are rejoicing and
inspired by the people of Egypt’s brave revolution, some nations are not as thrilled. Israel,
namely, is one. Israel has long clung to the Mubarak regime, as well as encouraging
others to do so (i.e, the United States) due to vested interests in the former government,
and have used Egypt’s leaders and policies to pursue and continue on with their own
oppressive and unjust policies against Palestinians.
When Binyamin Netanyahu (Israeli politician) needed to maintain his “peaceful”
status, support from the Egyptian government was usually bountiful. In the same manner,
when Israel needed to pacify the Arab world over the long-standing oppressive
and dehumanizing occupation of Palestine, Mubarak was quick to quiet any cries from
Egyptians.
Many policies involving Egypt and Israel were seen by many as “undignified” and
“anti-Arab,” and this new change in governance is said to better reflect the public’s interests,
rather than a few in power.
Though attention has been suddenly and temporarily shifted to Egypt during their
time of change, the true message seems to be lost on many. The people of Egypt’s ideals
and aspirations, as well as their dedication, persistence, and unity, should be inspiring
to those around the world, including the US. Their struggle and ultimate success should
be viewed as an example, a model per say, for pursuing real justice and representation
in government, instead of viewed as a sudden surge of popularity for a part of the world
whose cries have long been ignored, especially by this country.
While Israel’s political policies are still up in the air, it is suspected that they will
change drastically in accordance with the public’s opinion. This new and improved
Egyptian government, which should better reflect the people, is inspiring calls for similar
change throughout the world.

Every other year, Scholastica participates
in the National College Health Assessment
which is a confidential survey for students to
complete. By utilizing this assessment tool,
we are able to plan for a healthier campus by
collecting critical information about CSS students.
The topics in this survey include impediments
to academic performances, alcohol
and tobacco use, mental, physical, and sexual
health. This survey will be emailed to all students,
and we encourage your participation.
Not only will you be helping us improve
campus wellness, you will also be eligible
for numerous prizes. When you complete
the survey, your name will automatically be
placed in a drawing to win one of six $50 gift
certificates to the CSS bookstore. Yet, to ensure
confidentially this will occur through a
unique ID number and the information you
provide in the survey will be in no way connected
to you once it is complete.
This survey only takes twenty minutes or
less and will immensely help the WELLU program
and overall wellbeing here on campus.
This survey is sponsored by the American
College Health Association (ACHA). Be sure
to check your emails to participate.

I know of very few ways to motivate someone to exercise. So, here’s the first one
for you: Spring Break countdown T minus 21 days (give or take a few hours depending
on when you read this). The second way I know of motivating someone to exercise
is a little more year-round: groups, friends, and accountability. All of these can
be found in one place on campus: The Campus Rec Fitness Classes.
There is still room available to join these, and the choices are diverse. We have
classes that range from hip hop dancing (think Grandma from The Wedding Singer)
to advanced Yoga. Never mind the fact that our instructors are not only passionate
about getting you fit and more often than not, “kicking your can all over this place.”
These guys and gals know their stuff inside and out on how to train you in their
own unique ways, whether that be dancing at Kickin’ it Kountry with Ray, getting
blasted by a body bar with Erik, going for the stretch with Gary in Yoga, or perhaps
training to run Grandma’s half or full, with yours truly.
So you’ve got a variety of styles of exercise to choose from, knowledgeable instructors
to guide you, and, hopefully, motivation. If you say to yourself, “Self, I am
going to exercise and be fit, healthy, and happy,” it usually stops there or about a week
later, but if you go and join a class, then suddenly you have not only yourself, but also
the instructor and the other people in the class wondering where you are if you don’t
show up.
The other great thing about taking a class is that the instructor is going to make
you do exercises that you would never have thought of on your own, nor done on
your own if you did think of them. In some of my fitness classes, I have used exercises
I learned from training for World Team trials, and others I have come up with
on the fly during the exercise before it. Either way, it is nothing someone would
think to do on their own.
Think about going to the gym. If you don’t know what to do for exercise, you
jump on an elliptical for a while until that’s boring or you realize that you read that
issue of “PEOPLE,” and then you go do some dumbbell curls. Now, think about what
happens in a fitness class. You’re jumping, throwing, crunching, stretching, getting
spun around, running stepping, swinging, and don’t forget sweating.
I hope I have sufficiently convinced you to at least try a fitness class. Check it out
and sweat it out.

“alleluia” Film reView
Barbara Patten
Contributing Writer

In celebration of the Feast of St. Scholastica, the film “Alleluia”, featuring the Sisters of St.
Benedict was shown on February 9th in the Rockhurst dining room. The black-and-white film,
by William Grisham and Howard Smith, was made in 1967 in recognition of the 75th anniversary
of the The St. Scholastica Monastery. The film was also made to counter the Hollywood
portrayal of nuns as “either too sweet or too stern”.
The Sisters describe the founding of the St. Scholastica Monastery “modeled after the great
Benedictine abbeys.” They also share comments they heard about their decision to become
nuns, such as, “Some say ‘What happened to her?’ and ‘Maybe if she’d tried harder she could’ve
gotten married.’”
There are many scenes away from the Monastery including the DECC, Cathedral High
School, and St. Mary’s Hospital. “When you have a nun as a teacher, she’s not just there to teach
you, she’s there to be with you,” said one student in a voiceover. But the Benedictine Sisters
didn’t want to limit themselves to teaching, domestic work, or hospital work. The film shows
the sisters at play and work whether its ice skating, photography, cancer research or teaching.
“We serve the people of God in any capacity we are needed with love,” said another Sister.
In a very memorable scene the Sisters sing a sonorous “Gloria” in English in the chapel that
is now the campus library. At the time it was quite modern, singing in English instead of Latin.
“We don’t agree on everything, of course, except our final goal, and that, I think, is reached in
great joy.”
There were many Sisters in attendance for the film and many murmurs of acknowledgement
throughout the film. “Everybody looks so young!” one audience member said when the
film was over. The film was recently converted from reels to DVD to preserve the film for future
generations, and this was the first showing of the film on DVD.

In a study called “Wasting the Best and the Brightest: Substance Abuse at America’s
Colleges and Universities” (2007), Columbia University set out to understand the changing
atmosphere of collegiate substance abuse. Using data collected from a similar 1993 study,
they compared the results to current trends. They found that prescription drug abuse has
increased a staggering amount compared to any other category of the study.
While the use of marijuana has doubled and the use of cocaine, heroin, and other illegal
drugs has risen 52%, prescription drug abuse by college students has far over shadowed
both. The study showed increases of:
• 343 percent for opioids like Vicodin and OxyContin.
• 93 percent for stimulants such as Ritalin and Adderall.
• 450 percent for tranquilizers like Xanax and Valium.
• 225 percent for sedatives like Nembutal and Seconal.
What does this mean? In general, it seems students are putting themselves and others
at more of a risk than ever before. In relation, there has been an increase of student injuries
by 38% since 1993 and in student death by 6% since 1998. With this, almost three times as
many college students meet the medical criteria for substance abuse and dependence than
the general population.
On Tuesday February 22nd at 7pm in BWC 249, Storms Advocates will be hosting a
guest speaker, Dr. Audrey Imberg. She is a CSS alumnus, 2008 graduate of the UMD College
of Pharmacy and is currently a Doctor of Pharmacy at Essentia Health Duluth Clinic. She
will be speaking about current prescription drug issues and the dangers involved with their
misuse. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend.

What exactly is binge drinking? Binge drinking is the unnecessary consumption of 5
or more alcoholic drinks within a couple hours.
Obviously this is a common occurrence on college campuses nationwide. In fact,
statistics have shown at least two out of five students experience this recreational activity
known as “binge drinking”.
Although this may be a social norm within the college setting, it is in fact a risky
and harmful activity, and while it may attract many students, it still has many negative
consequences.
Excessive drinking is extremely expensive, with beer and liquor sales averaging over
$20 per customer. Even though it can lead to school and governmental fines, twelve million
undergraduates drink four billion cans of beer, an average of 55 six-packs each, per
year.
Unfortunately, cost is not the only issue: health and grades play a factor as well.
About 25-percent of college students find drinking negatively affects their grades and
school work.
Although these statistics are not meant to scare you they are here to inform you of
the dangers and risks associated with binge drinking. Alcohol is not illegal or wrong to
consume, but it should still be consumed responsibly while at the same time enjoyed!

NEW ORLEANS – St. Scholastica senior cross country student-athlete Nick
Manganhas been named to the Men’s U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches
Association (USTFCCCA) All-Academic Team; it was announced on Tuesday.
Mangan joins fellow Saint, Melissa Kempenich (Little Falls, Minn., Little Falls
HS), who was named to the women’s team on Monday. Mangan came within an eye
lash of becoming the first CSS male cross country runner to qualify for Nationals,
finishing 13th overall at the NCAA Division III Central Regional Championships.
He did take the individual title at the UMAC Championships in the fall, becoming
just the second CSS male runner to do so since the 1999 season.
The USTFCCCA All-Academic award honors those student-athletes who have
succeeded both academically and athletically. To be eligible for the award, a student-athlete
must carry a minimum 3.3 cumulative grade point average and must
finish in the top 35 among the field at their respective NCAA regional meet.

Vikings F o r Pi Vo Ta l win
MANKATO, Minn. – The St. Scholastica women’s basketball team finished the weekend
with a key 70-61 win against Bethany Lutheran College Saturday.
The Saints (9-12, 6-6 UMAC) started out game strong with a 15-3 run in the first six
minutes of the game. They then followed with a 9-0 run, finishing the first half with a
20-point lead.
CSS went on an 8-0 run against Bethany (8-14, 4-8 UMAC) half way through the second
half to extend its lead to as much as 25. However, the Vikings quickly answered with a 13-0
run to cut the lead to 10, but the Saints proved to be too much in a 70-61 victory.
The Saints shot 43-percent for the game, while the Vikings shot 32-percent. Both teams
had a combined 34 turnovers. The Saints shot 80-percent from the charity line and Bethany
shot 77-percent.
Four players scored double digits in tonight’s game for CSS. Kelly Cinquegrani led the
Saints with 15 points. Bri Allen had a team-high eight rebounds. Jessica Englund led Bethany
with 23-points.
The Saints will play the final two games of the regular season this weekend. Major playoff
implications are on the line as the Saints will enter the weekend tied with Martin Luther
for the final tournament spot, but the Knights hold the tiebreaker. The Saints will probably
need to win both games. Friday’s game against regular season champion University of
Minnesota-Morris is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m.
