2 fROM THE ed i T o r’s desk 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 Cable Editor-in-Chief Pag e Tw o GET PAID.

THE Ca b l e 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 Dean of Students Co m m u n iT y Emily Peterson TheCable Variety Editor 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. Google it How to get there from here?
