Just days before voters hit the polls, University of Minnesota students and em-ployees became targets for the campaigns vying to win two of the highest offices rep-resenting Minnesotans.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Jeff Johnson made a last-minute pitch on Thurs-day, discussing his platform with students and faculty members. And the next day, U.S. Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., apparently flexed his Hollywood ties, as comedian and actor Fred Armisen made a stop on campus to campaign for the incumbent.

It was a regular Sunday inside TCF Bank Stadium, despite a more than 3,000-person protest right outside the University of Min-nesota stadium’s gates.

But as one of the largest demonstrations in campus history stirred, creating a com-motion on the facility’s lawn, the NFL play-ers didn’t seem distracted.

After the Minnesota Vikings defeated the Washington Redskins 29-26, tight end MarQueis Gray said the Vikings blocked the protest out of their minds and only fo-cused on playing football.

“We were on the field playing, so we had a bigger distraction in trying to win this game,” Gray said.

There were no visible posters and signs, or audible chants, protesting the Redskins name inside the stadium. And as protesters

Washington Redskins team buses got into an accident before the game’s beginning.

Chants and drum beats rang out Sun-day morning as hundreds of people

marched down University Avenue Southeast in what some called the largest protest of the Washing-ton Redskins’ name in the NFL team’s history.

“Change the name! Change the name!” dem-onstrators repeated as they joined other groups protesting outside TCF Bank Stadium.

About 3,500 people crowded near the sta-dium’s Tribal Nations Plaza, some of whom gathered hours before the Minnesota Vikings faced the Washington Redskins.

The game followed months of controversy over the visiting team’s moniker, which many have called demeaning and offensive to American Indians.

Thousands of frustrat-ed protesters joined city, state and federal leaders for one of the largest on-campus demonstrations in the University of Minne-sota’s history. But school and city officials have said they have no legal authori-ty to ban the name or logo from campus.

Franken, McFadden cap off senator race with final debate

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. PAUL — U.S. Sen. Al Franken and GOP chal-lenger Mike McFadden are set to meet for a third and final debate Sunday evening, capping off a cam-paign that for McFadden and Republicans looks like the race that could have been.

Despite Franken’s nar-row win in 2008 and prom-ises from outside organi-zations to back McFadden this time around, the race never evolved into the drag-down fight some were predicting.

Republicans are bullish on their chances to gain six seats and win back the Senate majority thanks to a favorable map — 21 Demo-crats are up for re-election, with many in conservative-leaning states. But with vu lnerab le incumbent Democrats on the ropes in states like North Caro-lina, Alaska and Colorado,

outside Republican groups mostly skipped over Min-nesota and spent their mil-lions elsewhere.

McFadden ran an en-ergetic campaign on his own, putting hundreds of miles on the campaign pickup truck every day for cozy gatherings across the state, but never slimmed Franken’s steady lead in public polling. The invest-ment banker and first-time candidate held to his vow that his campaign wouldn’t tap into his considerable personal wealth.

Outside cash started to trickle into Minnesota as Election Day neared, with Democratic groups spend-ing money on ads backing Franken. Independence USA PAC, a political ac-tion committee bankrolled by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloom-berg, spent more than $500,000 in Minnesota to air an ad highlighting Fran-ken’s legislative portfolio.

McFadden’s campaign said Franken’s image as a bipar tisan workhorse doesn’t jibe with the facts, pointing to the oft-cited statistic that the freshman Democrat sided with the president on 97 percent of votes since taking office in 2009.

For its part, Franken’s campaign hammered Mc-Fadden with a series of ads criticizing the Republican candidate’s business back-ground, suggesting his firm avoided paying U.S. taxes and was responsible for layoffs.

In each case, McFad-den decried those ads as false and misleading. His campaign rebutted an ad suggesting his firm was responsible for the closure of a Montana paper mill by producing bankruptcy documents showing anoth-er firm was involved in the deal.

But McFadden never matched Franken on the

air waves. Heading into the final stretch, Franken had outspent McFadden by a nearly 5-to-1 margin, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. McFadden continually re-fused to run similar attack ads, and the cavalr y of outside GOP groups never came to Minnesota to rip Franken.

Both candidates say the race remains close. Fran-ken has used his 312-vote win in 2008 as a rallying cry to voters at campaign rallies and events.

“You either r un like you’re 10 points down or unopposed,” Franken said. “And I’m not unopposed, so I’m working hard.”

And though his own campaign has acknowl-edged it ’s down in the polls, McFadden remained defiant in the last week of the race.

“We are catching the wave at exactly the right time,” he said.

Minnesota trainer turns unbroken horse into champ

Minnesota candidates scrounge for late votes


ST. PAUL — A St. Paul trainer took an untrained horse and turned him into a national champion in eight months.

Jerusha Steinert and her 4-year-old Nokota named Mesabi Warrior bested about 30 other competitors to take grand champion honors in the American Horsewoman’s Challenge.

Contestants had eight months to turn an unbroken horse into a show-ready equine, according to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. The event in Oklahoma was open to women trainers from the U.S. and Canada.

“She went up against some of the top horsewomen in the United States and she showed them how it was done,” said Jim Hutchins, the competition’s organizer and produc-er. “People should be incredibly proud of her accomplish-ment. The entire (horse) community should be proud of what she’s done.”

This was the inaugural run for the three-day competi-tion held in October.

The 34-year-old Steinert has been a trainer since 2006 and a horsewoman most of her life. At best, she hoped to break the top 10.

“I was so floored that I won because usually, when I do whatever I want to do, people think it’s weird,” Steinert said with a laugh.

She plans to enter next year with another Nokota, spon-sored by a spectator who was taken with Mesabi. Steinert said she hopes her win will bring attention to the breed.

The Nokota breed is descended from wild horses that once roamed the badlands in western North Dakota, ac-cording to the Nokota Horse Conservancy.


OAKDALE, Minn. — The leading candidates for Min-nesota’s top offices hustled around the state Saturday, giv-ing pep talks to the party faithful who went off to knock on doors and call voters in the campaign’s closing weekend.

Democratic U.S. Sen. Al Franken told canvassers in a St. Paul suburb that races are “won at the door” and reminded them his 312-vote win in 2008 proves nothing can be taken for granted. Franken put millions of dollars into his ground ef for t, which often gets overshadowed by television commercials.

“I’m not taking my foot off the gas,” the first-term sena-tor said as he headed off to a pair of events in Minneapolis.

At a lakeside rally in Buffalo, Senate challenger Mike McFadden told GOP backers “don’t stop praying because we can feel it.” He campaigned with former state Rep. Tom Emmer, who is vying for an open 6th Congressional Dis-trict seat. The district is heavily Republican, so the GOP is banking on an Emmer victory of 25 percentage points or more to ripple through the ticket.

Though the Senate race was largely overlooked nation-ally and polls showed the incumbent comfortably ahead, McFadden said victory was still within reach.

“America might be shocked but Minnesota is not going to be shocked because we know what’s going on,” he said to a crowd bundled up to guard against a chilly lake breeze.

In the governor’s race, Democratic incumbent Mark Dayton appeared at some northern Minnesota rallies as a party caravan moved into the typical stronghold. The area is home to a U.S. House race featuring Democratic Rep. Rick Nolan and Republican rival Stewart Mills that’s been among the nation’s most competitive and expensive.

“Turn those votes out,” Dayton, dressed in a hockey jer-sey, urged in Grand Rapids as he plugged the “DFL team” he credited with helping pass his legislative agenda.

Student card counters try to beat odds

BY CHRISTOPHER [email protected]

Student coaches on the craft of card counting meet with a group of about a dozen fellow classmates in a crammed Pioneer Hall dorm room once a week — but not for an under-ground gambling ring.

The new school group, Card Counting at the Uni-versity of Minnesota, aims to teach rookies the funda-mentals of counting cards and to help the more expe-rienced members sharpen their skills through imitat-ing card games, like black-jack, where counting may give players an advantage.

Card counting is a tech-nique in which blackjack and other card game play-ers tr y to keep track of cards dealt in an attempt to increase their chances of breaking even or mak-ing a profit.

The group’s president, Mark Ruprecht, a mathe-matics and statistics fresh-man and self-proclaimed avid blackjack player, said the group’s long- ter m goal is to attract more members and to improve its skill level to the point where it can create its own method of counting.

He said counting cards not only increases a play-er’s chances of turning a profit, but it also stimu-lates the mind.

The group tries to em-phasize the mathematical aspect of counting, Rupre-cht said, because sharp arithmetic and statistics skills will help players ana-lyze odds on the spot and make smart bets.

“If you’re into stats, it’s really interesting,” he said. “It’s all based on sta-tistics.”

Cale McElroy, one of the group’s of ficers, said the 2008 film “21,” which was based off a real group of card-counting students

at the Massachusetts In-stitute of Technology, was one of the inspirations for the group’s creators.

Ruprecht said there wasn’t any concern from the University when the group tried to establish it-self, emphasizing that the group doesn’t advocate for gambling or wagering with money during group meet-ings on campus.

W h i l e t h e g r o u p doesn’t encourage gam-bling or play with mon-ey at i ts meetings, i ts

m e m b e r s d o n ’ t d e n y that many of them enjoy gambling.

Some students in the group occasionally test out the counting techniques that they learn on black-jack tables in local gaming venues, Ruprecht said.

“I don’t want to have a passion that’s going to be taking money from me,” he said. “Why go [to a casi-no] if you know you’re go-ing to lose, and you don’t take the time to make the odds in your favor?”

Counters vs. casinosA l t h o u g h c o u n t -

ing cards isn’t i l legal, casinos try to prevent play-ers from cheating the sys-tem. Often, casino officials will kick out or ban gam-blers who they suspect are counting cards.

Counters and casinos are engaged in a constant game of trying to outwit one anoth-er, said Bill Zender, a casino consultant, former profes-sional blackjack player and former agent on the Nevada Gaming Control Board.

Casinos exist because they make money through stacking the odds against players, McElroy said, and gamblers sometimes try to counteract that by counting cards.

“I look at [counting] as part of the game,” Zender said. “The casino is there to take your money, and you’re there to take money from the casinos.”

Zender argued casinos overreact when it comes to counting in their casinos because they make most of their funds through games like slot machines.

Card counting isn ’ t seen as a serious threat to casinos’ business models, he said.

And while the University students attempt to reach the next level of counting by outsmarting casinos in the constant cat-and-mouse game, Vender said there’s much more to gaming the casinos out of large sums of money.

Gamblers like the MIT students were highly suc-cessful with their counting because they were well-or-ganized and funded by out-side investors, he said.

“It had nothing to do with them being a bunch of smart college kids,” he said.

Despite the University group’s desire to perfect the practice, McElroy said he hopes to provide members with a fun environment for playing cards that doesn’t carry any consequences or pressure to make money.

“The counting aspect adds a little bit more fun for me rather than just sitting there and watching [dealers] flip over cards,” he said.

Students learn how to count cards in an attempt to increase their chances of making a profit.

Food-to-booze ratios hit the polls

BY ETHAN [email protected]

Minneapo l i s vo ters will decide on Election Day whether to repeal a decades-old rule requir-ing that some restaurants make no more than 30 per-cent of their income from alcohol sales.

Although the rule was designed to keep rowdy bars out of residential neighborhoods, its oppo-nents say the requirement is archaic and hinders business. Tuesday’s bal-lot measure follows recent pushes to remove the law.

“This is the finishing touch on what the City Council has already done,” said Ward 3 City Council-man Jacob Frey, adding that he hopes voters will decide to remove the law.

In September, the City Council axed a similar rule that required restaurants to make at least 60 per-cent of their revenue from food. Since that was an

ordinance, it only required a vote from the full coun-cil.

But the 70-30 rule, es-tablished in 1966, is out-lined in the city’s charter, so it can only be nixed if 55 percent of residents vote “yes.”

Frey said a unanimous vote from the City Council could repeal the law, but he didn’t think all council members would agree.

Sixty-eight restaurants, which are outside Min-neapolis’ downtown zone, are bound by the 70-30 rule, including Cupcake in Prospect Park and Oben-to-ya Japanese Bistro in Southeast Como.

“It restricts us,” said Derek Grams, owner of Sig-nature Café and Catering, another af fected Prospect Park business. “Sometimes I have to tell a customer they can’t have a beer with-out ordering food.”

This is frustrating, he said, and diminishes the revenue the establishment

can bring in.“If people want to sit on

our beautiful patio and just have a glass of wine, they can’t,” Grams said.

He said his restaurant is able to operate because fewer people drink alco-hol at lunch than they do at dinner, so much of his revenue comes from food ordered around midday.

City of ficials plan to combine a repeal of the 70-30 r ule with fur ther policy changes that they say would put restaurants in dif ferent districts on an equal playing field.

The proposed amend-ments include new re-quirements to monitor

noise levels and criminal activity, while also giving the City Council more flex-ibility in issuing licenses and restricting hours of operation.

Ward 2 City Council-man Cam Gordon, who represents par ts of the University of Minnesota area, said he expects Min-neapolis residents to vote “yes” on Tuesday.

There are enough regu-lations in place to mitigate noise and disturbances in residential areas, he said, adding that he thinks it’s time for the 70-30 require-ment to go.

“It doesn’t fit modern times,” he said.

Shall the Minneapolis City Charter be amended to remove the require-ment that businesses holding on-sale wine licenses in the City must serve food with every order of wine or beer and to remove mandatory food to wine and beer sales ratios?

Mpls. officials try to iron out ‘granny flat’ legal wrinkles

BY BARRY [email protected]

A proposed amend-ment to city code could let residents legally house family — especially ex-tended or elderly family members — in converted garages, attics and base-ment spaces called “gran-ny flats” or “mother-in-law apartments.”

While proponents of the change say it would provide greater housing flexibility in urban neigh-borhoods where space is tight, some city of ficials and residents have con-cer ns that some would misuse the self-contained home additions.

At a C i ty P lanning Commission on Thurs-day, the amendment ’s author, Ward 10 Council-woman Lisa Bender, and her staf f fielded questions about how to legalize ac-cessor y dwell ing units while avoiding unintended consequences.

The ADUs would be home additions or reno-vations that function as individual dwelling areas, Bender said. She said a homestead requirement in the ordinance would forbid renting ADUs to anyone but the homeown-er’s family to ensure they wouldn’t become a rental commodity.

Community members star ted approaching city of ficials this spring with the hopes of legalizing ADUs, she said. Since then, her staf f has held four publ ic meet ings , sur veyed nearly 200 resi-dents and consulted with the planning commission twice to iron out the pro-posal and engage commu-nities in the process.

“ I ’m r ea l l y exc i ted about this policy change because legalizing acces-sor y dwelling units is ad-dressing demographic changes,” Bender said, noting that the change would expand housing op-tions for baby boomers.

But three city planning commissioners expressed concern Thursday over

the possibility of archi-tectural issues, like the amendment’s maximum height requirements as well as adequate building material options and sub-sequent costs.

Discussion then turned to addressing the possible misuses of granny flats.

Ricardo McCurley, the neighborhood coordinator for the Southeast Como Improvement Associa -tion, said he shares those reservations.

“Nobody likes the idea because of the enforce-ment side,” he said. “But nobody is opposed to the idea in principle.”

Due to the neighbor-hood’s abundance of stu-dent renters, McCurley said, city zoning laws are already broken regularly in Southeast Como.

JoAnn Velde, the city’s director of housing inspec-tion services, said she un-derstands how the adop-tion of granny flats could be problematic.

“[It could] create some illegal housing issues,” she said.

Between the cost of renovation or construction and the requirement that only allows family mem-bers to live in the units, Velde said, it might not be a popular housing option. Those financial and legal limitations should deter individuals from trying to make a profit by renting them out, she said.

“I don’t foresee many people doing it,” Velde said. “Renovations could cos t f r om $80 ,000 to $100,000.”

Leaders of the Marcy-Holmes Neighborhood As-sociation and the Prospect Park East River Road Im-provement Association — which are both part of the University’s housing dis-trict — said their respec-tive neighborhoods had no position on the ADU amendment.

Bender said she is con-fident that the Minneapo-lis City Council will pass the zoning amendment at an upcoming Dec. 5 meeting.

Some city leaders expressed concerns over potential illegal housing issues and accessory dwelling units.

Obama pushes for Democrats in gov. racesBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — President Barack Obama’s final campaign swing of the midterm election season Sunday came down to part nostalgia tour and part test: Did he still have the chem-istry with voters who gave him two terms as president to drive them to the ballot box one more time?

Seeking to mobilize his election coalition of young people, African-Americans, women and Latinos, Obama on Sunday made a last-minute push in Connecticut seeking to save Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy from defeat in a neck-and-neck contest two days before the election.

Obama also made a case at the Bridgeport rally that many Americans are bet-ter off today than when he came into of fice and they shouldn’t let critics deter them from voting.

“Despite all the cyni-cism, America is making progress,” Obama told the crowd of about 1,900.

“Despite unyielding opposi-tion, there are workers who have jobs today that didn’t have it before. There are families who have health insurance today that didn’t have it before. There are kids going to college today that didn’t have the op-portunity to go to college before. There are troops in Afghanistan now here with their families because of your vote.”

Obama relied on the old rallying cries of hope, of be-ing of fired up and ready to go, that branded his 2008 and 2012 contests. By his own wistful account, Sun-day’s was probably his last ramble down the campaign trail for an election affecting his presidency.

He was closing out the day in Philadelphia, rallying votes for businessman Tom Wolf, the Democrat who ap-pears to have the edge over GOP Gov. Tom Corbett.

Malloy and Foley are in a rematch of the 2010 race that Malloy narrowly won. Four years ago, Obama also made a last-minute

appearance for him.Obama’s Bridgepor t

speech was interrupted at least four times by protest-ers seeking changes to the nation’s immigration laws.

“I am sympathetic to those who are concerned about immigration,” Obama said. “It’s the other party that’s blocked it. Unfortu-nately, folks get frustrated and they want to yell at everybody.”

Obama’s appearances highlighted competing pressures on the president as he balances his unpopu-larity in states where Demo-crats face tough Republican challenges and the need for Democrats to energize cru-cial elements of their voting bloc.

Obama has focused this past week’s appearances on candidates for governor in states that he carried in both of his presiden-tial runs. On Saturday, he headlined a rally in Detroit for Senate candidate Gary Peters and Mark Schauer, who’s running for governor, and earlier in the week he

campaigned in Wisconsin, Maine and Rhode Island.

Though any Democrat-ic losses probably would raise questions about the strength of his popular-ity even among his biggest fans, Democrats said not campaigning carried bigger downsides.

“There is a bigger risk in not doing ever ything he can to hold a Senate majority and elect Demo-cratic governors,” said Ben LaBolt, national spokes-man for Obama’s 2012 campaign. “Republicans are likely to say he didn’t perform to 2008 and 2012 levels regardless.”

Democrats outnumber Republicans in Connecticut, so motivating core voters was essential for Malloy’s survival against Foley. First lady Michelle Obama, who campaigned for Malloy on Thursday, called him an “in-strumental partner” of the president, and she citied Malloy’s success in rais-ing the minimum wage and with the state’s rollout of the federal health law.

University of Minne-

sota students are used to the speed of Mesa Pizza and being able to custom-ize their pie toppings at other pizza chains. Now, a new Dinkytown restaurant will of fer the best of both worlds, as well as a salad option.

Pizza Studio, a fast- casual restaurant chain, finds its newest home on Monday at the space be-tween Five Guys Burgers and Fries and Pagoda on Fourth Street Southeast.

The eater y lets its pa-trons customize their piz-za from crust to toppings — and ever ything in be-tween. Thanks to a special-ized oven, customers wait about two minutes to leave with a whole pizza.

Like at Chipotle or Sub-way, two other fast-casual restaurants, Pizza Studio customers travel down an assembly line and tell em-ployees what kind of crust, sauce, cheese and top-pings they want.

The restaurant’s ser-vice model is popular be-cause it can be either a to-go or a sit-down joint depending on the patron’s

mood, said Joe Remsa, the company’s market operator.

Reducing the pizza’s cook time while maintain-ing the quality, he said, has made Pizza Studio suc-cessful at its West Coast locations. The Twin Cities has one other Pizza Stu-dio location in the Mall of America.

“They like the speed and the customization, [and] it’s really for time-crunched people,” he said. “It allows pizza to be com-petitive at lunch.”

Like many other new-comers to the area, Pizza Studio set up shop in Dinkytown because of its proximity to campus, but it’s also ideal for ser ving

sur rounding neighbor-hoods, said Chief Operat-ing Officer Hank Simpson.

The other Stadium Vil-lage and Dinkytown pizza options don’t worry Pizza Studio, he said, because of the eater y’s unique concept.

“Obviously, pizza is a ver y popular item in all cities,” he said. “We just

think we bring something a little unique to the pizza space with the create-your-own style of pizza.”

Mesa Pizza, also locat-ed on Fourth Street South-east, is about a block down from the new restaurant. Its employees say they don’t feel much pressure from the newcomers, said counter manager Jenny

Dotson.“From a business stand-

point, it might be competi-tion, but it’s nothing that isn’t healthy,” she said. “Plus we’ve been here for a really long time, and I do believe that Mesa Pizza is a staple student food.”

Pizza Studio has some limitations. For example, it doesn’t deliver or serve by the slice, and its custom-er can only purchase an 11-inch pizza — no larger. Its hours are 11 a.m. to 10 or 11 p.m., depending on the day of the week.

Most of Pizza Studio’s nearly 40 employees are students from the Univer-sity and surrounding col-leges, general manager Gary Moss said.

The Dinkytown loca-tion employs more people than most of its other lo-cations to accommodate their schedules, he said.

One of those employ-ees, psychology sopho-more Rauol Moore, spent much of last week learn-ing, cleaning and pre-paring for the pizzeria’s opening with his new co-workers.

Though he’s a recent Illinois transplant, he said he thinks the restaurant fits in well in Dinkytown because it contributes to the variety of foods avail-able in the area.

“It’s as quick as Chipo-tle with the same food as Dominos,” he said.


Create-your-own pizza comes to DinkyPizza Studio will open its second restaurant in the Twin Cities area.

Public safety-minded res-

idents filed into the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood’s Brian Coyle Center to talk with the Minneapolis mayor and police chief on Thurs-day evening about commu-nity attitudes toward city officials.

While Mayor Betsy Hodges and Police Chief Janeé Harteau touted pro-active police recruitment, af fordable family housing and neighborhood relations initiatives, some in the crowd voiced skepticism and con-cerns over the city leaders’ work.

The meeting, moderated by community member De-gha Shabbeleh, focused on topics of public safety, but citizen speakers raised a broader set of issues.

For example, members of the Somali American Autism Foundation said the area’s constant presence of

police lights and fire trucks is harmful for the neighbor-hood’s autistic children.

Har teau said the city plans to continue providing its emergency crews and law enforcement officials with in-structions on how to interact with autistic citizens.

Another resident from the crowd of about 150 ad-dressed Hodges with con-cerns that 2008’s “Blueprint For Action” — a city-imple-mented strategy aimed at curbing violence — lacked Somali representation and input. The resident said the measure wasn’t curbing vio-lence between the neighbor-hood’s youths.

Hodges said that the plan has its flaws and may require updating.

“While we’ve had suc-cesses, we’ve realized more clearly that there are needs specific to the East African community,” she said at the meeting.

The mayor then high-lighted policies l ike a

proposed $1 million bud-get for affordable housing and the continuation of the Community Service Officer program that encourages So-mali recruitment to the Min-neapolis Police Department. She also pointed to recent hires in the city’s communi-cations and neighborhood relations departments.

Some attendees held signs that questioned police accountability and suggested racial profiling within the city department.

Hodges — who wore a hi-jab at the gathering — said at the meeting that she, too, is worried about racial inequali-ties in Minneapolis.

“That is what animates me when I get up in the morning, and that’s what I reflect on at night,” Hodges said.

At the meeting, Shabbeleh said the event’s two-hour du-ration was not enough time for the community forum, adding that she hopes the mayor and police chief return to the area soon for another community discussion.

“We need more of this. This was too short,” she said.

ELIZABETH BRUMLEY, DAILYRepublican gubernatorial candidate Jeff Johnson speaks at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs Humphrey Forum on Thursday.

MN candidates target campus in the 11th hour of campaigning

in Tuesday’s election. On Thursday morning,

Johnson spent an hour with a group of about 40 stu-dents and faculty members at the Humphrey School of Public Af fairs’ Hum-phrey Forum, where he ad-dressed what he described as problematic trends in higher education.

For the University, John-son said he wants to exam-ine administrative expenses and the recent hikes in tu-ition costs.

“What we’ve got do

within the system is figure out what we can do to bring down the cost curve,” he said. “A tuition freeze for another year or two would be fine, but long term, that is not going to solve the problem.”

The gubernatorial race so far hasn’t had a strong emphasis on higher educa-tion, instead focusing on is-sues like the state’s health care system and the econo-my.

Armisen’s Friday visit for Franken, which was sponsored par tly by the University’s College Demo-crats, also served as a rally aiming to get University

students out to the polls.Students seemed excit-

ed by the “Portlandia” star’s appearance, with some pos-ing for photos with him.

Armisen was flanked b y b o t h M i n n e a p o l i s Mayor Betsy Hodges and St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman.

Polls as of Sunday night showed Franken had about a 10.5 percentage point ad-vantage over Republican challenger Mike McFad-den.

In the guber natorial race, polls showed Dayton having about an 8.5 percent-age point advantage over Johnson.

Participants discussed homicide, racial inequality and education opportunities.

MOJAVE, Calif. — The loss of an experimental space-ship that broke up over the Mojave Desert, killing one pilot and seriously injuring an-other, has renewed criticism of the way the craft’s designer and Virgin Galactic handled a deadly explosion seven years ago.

Space enthusiasts watch-ing Virgin Galactic’s race to send tourists on suborbital flights have complained for years about a 2007 explosion that killed three people on the ground and critically injured three others during a ground test in the development of a rocket engine for the same vehicle that crashed Friday.

“Now we’ve got another person killed, another person seriously injured. So we’ve got a lot that has hurt the industry,” said Geoff Daly, an engineer who has filed complaints with several fed-eral agencies over the use of nitrous oxide to power the ship’s engine.

SpaceShipTwo tore apart Friday after the craft de-tached from the underside of its jet-powered mothership and fired its rocket engine for a test flight. Authorities have not given any indication what

caused the accident. National Transportation Safety Board investigators were on the scene Sunday. The agency could take up to a year to is-sue a final report.

Daly was co-author of a critical report on the 2007 in-cident at Scaled Composites, the Northrop Grumman-owned designer of Space-ShipTwo. The report was critical of Virgin’s claims that nitrous oxide was safe to use in engines for passenger flight, and it complained that the public was never given a full accounting of what hap-pened.

“Something is wrong here,” Daly said Sunday. “We offered to talk, give our expe-rience. It was either ignored or totally dismissed.”

In a June 2013 letter, Daly asked the FAA to put a hold on an experimental flight permit for SpaceShipTwo to ensure the safety of person-nel on the ground and in the spacecraft.

“Remember, three people have been killed and numer-ous persons injured by a prior explosion involving (nitrous oxide) in this motor design,” he wrote as a member of a group that he said numbered about 300 people in the aero-space industry worldwide.

“We do not need another inci-dent on the ground/flight line or in the air.”

The FAA said it would look into his complaint, ac-cording to memos posted on-line, but Daly said no flights of SpaceShipTwo were halted.

Carolynne Campbell, a co-author of the report on the explosion, posted a statement on her website after Friday’s accident, saying “if the truth about the 2007 accident had come out,” the SpaceShipT-wo disaster “would probably not have happened.”

A report by the Califor-nia Division of Occupational Safety and Health said the 2007 blast occurred three sec-onds after the start of a cold-flow test of nitrous oxide. The engine was not firing during the test at the Mojave Air and Space Port.

Whether nitrous oxide had anything to do with Fri-day’s disaster remains to be seen.

The nitrous oxide is used with fuel to provide propulsion. Engineers had recently changed the fuel system, switching from a rubber-based fuel to one that used plastics. The new fuel had been tested on the ground but not in flight un-til Friday.


COPENHAGEN, Den-mark — Climate change is happening, it’s almost entire-ly man’s fault and limiting its impacts may require reduc-ing greenhouse gas emis-sions to zero this century, the U.N.’s panel on climate science said Sunday.

The four th and final volume of the Intergovern-mental Panel on Climate Change’s giant climate as-sessment of fered no sur-prises, nor was it expected to since it combined the findings of three reports re-leased in the past 13 months.

But it underlined the scope of the climate chal-lenge in stark terms. Emis-sions, mainly from the burn-ing of fossil fuels, may need to drop to zero by the end of this century for the world to have a decent chance of keeping the temperature rise below a level that many con-sider dangerous.

The IPCC did not say exactly what such a world would look like but it would likely require a massive shift to renewable sources to power homes, cars and in-dustries combined with new technologies to suck green-house gases from the atmo-sphere.

The report warned that failure to reduce emissions could lock the world on a trajectory with “irreversible” impacts on people and the environment. Some impacts already being observed in-cluded rising sea levels, a warmer and more acidic ocean, melting glaciers and Arctic sea ice and more frequent and intense heat waves.

“Science has spoken. There is no ambiguity in their message. Leaders must act. Time is not on our side,” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said at the report’s launch in Copenhagen.

Amid its grim projections,

the report said the tools are there to set the world on a low-emissions path and break the addiction to burn-ing oil, coal and gas which pollute the atmosphere with heat-trapping CO2, the chief greenhouse gas.

“All we need is the will to change, which we trust will be motivated by knowledge and an understanding of the science of climate change,” IPCC chairman Rajendra Pachauri said.

The IPCC was set up in 1988 to assess global warm-ing and its impacts. The repor t released Sunday caps its latest assessment, a mega-review of 30,000 cli-mate change studies that establishes with 95-percent certainty that most of the warming seen since the 1950s is man-made. The IPCC’s best estimate is that just about all of it is man-made, but it can’t say that with the same degree of certainty.

Virgin Galactic spaceship disaster renews criticism of fatal ’07 explosion

Climate report gives warning, hope

Editorials & Opinions

T wo separate accidents have made this past week a nightmare for the movement to privatize space

exploration. Orbital Sciences, a private firm con-

tracted by NASA to refuel the Interna-tional Space Station, released the An-tares Rocket with supplies totaling $200 million.

The rocket held important scientific equipment and food for the six astronauts on the space station, in addition to classi-fied cryptography equipment.

About 15 seconds after the rocket lift-ed of f, it all came down in a ball of fire. Local news stations repor ted that the force of the explosion knocked down ceil-ing tiles and broke windows at business-es miles away from the liftoff site.

In an unrelated incident on Friday, Vir-gin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo, a new air-craft designed to provide the impetus for commercial space travel, crashed in the Mojave Desert. One of the two pilots was killed, and the other was severely injured.

Before these two disasters, investors claimed that space would be the travel

destination of the future. They placed the value of the space travel market at $300 billion and argued that amount was expected to double by 2030. Now, even the owner of Virgin Galactic, Sir Richard Branson, predicts that these crashes have compromised the entire industr y. Fur-thermore, they question the future of the modern space race’s privatization.

Privatization is not the best course for the future of space exploration. A few years ago, the Obama administration an-nounced a plan to privatize parts of NASA by contracting functions of the organi-zation to private corporations — as hap-pened to Orbital Sciences. However, this idea opened up the possibility for private corporations to explore space travel as a business.

This possibility is practically and economically disadvantageous, and it in-volves tremendous safety concerns.

First, privatization of the space indus-try would require a massive data-sharing program that would be unpopular among NASA workers. For example, companies

that aren’t working with NASA would need either to conduct their own re-search on how aircraft re-entry works or buy the patents to the space program’s algorithms.

Most critics argue that NASA alone is simply too expensive. People who aren’t directly benefiting from the program crit-icize government spending on it, declar-ing it unnecessary.

Never theless, the adverse ef fects of privatization are even more problematic.

The dispersion of NASA would likely result in a government regulation agen-cy to set safety requirements for private businesses to follow. Red tape is inef fi-cient and expensive. Regulative agencies would be costly and would require addi-tional government spending anyway.

This isn’t to say that private space trav-el won’t be possible someday. Given the resources and increased cooperation be-tween NASA and private corporations, as well as other countries, it’s conceivable to see private space travel as a viable future to work toward.

But for now, the stars are still far, far away.

T he Intergovernmental Panel on Cli-mate Change released a report on Sunday suggesting that major reduc-

tions in emissions are necessary in order to avoid further negative consequences of human-caused climate change.

One major question related to this re-port is what to do with our garbage. At the moment, trash is either thrown into landfills or incinerated, and then it is con-verted into energy through waste-to-energy technologies.

Minnesota has 10 facilities for convert-ing waste into energy. These can reduce the two main emissions that landfills pro-duce — methane and carbon dioxide.

However, far from being a miracle solu-tion to climate change, incinerating gar-bage has its downsides.

Municipal waste incinerators can emit up to 14 times more mercury than a typi-cal coal plant. Incinerators also produce fly ash, bottom ash and wastewater sludge, which are all released back into the envi-ronment. Additionally, they sometimes re-lease ultra-fine particles into the air.

Is there a way to address this problem as both solutions still emit toxins?

One thing we could do is reduce the amount of recyclables that find their way into garbage. The Environmental Protec-tion Agency believes that 75 percent of solid waste is recyclable. Unfortunately, only about one-third of this waste is actually recycled.

Recycling is cheaper than creating more incineration plants and landfills. It’s also a simple way to save a great deal of energy and reduce carbon emissions released from both processes.

We must make an ef for t to maxi-mize recycling in Minnesota by provid-ing people the education, resources and infrastructure they need to actually re-cycle instead of just throwing everything away.

Houston, we have a privatization problem EDITORIALSChange depends on commitment

Unethical study provokes reaction

T housands of people gathered outside TCF Bank Stadium on Sunday to pro-test the use of the Washington Red-

skins’ name and mascot, which many feel are offensive misrepresentations of Ameri-can Indian culture.

Among the protesters was Minneapo-lis mayor Betsy Hodges, who joined activ-ists in chanting, “Change the name.” Later, Clyde Bellecourt, a renowned Twin Cities activist, denounced Redskins owner Daniel Snyder for ignoring the harm his team’s name causes.

Although University of Minnesota Presi-dent Eric Kaler denounces the Redskins’ name, University of ficials have said the institution has no legal authority to ban its use on game day.

Similarly, not everyone was convinced of the protests’ message. Some football fans argued that the protesters were over-sensitive, noting ironically that the Vikings’ name could offend people of Scandinavian descent.

Now that the game is over, we remind everyone that even successfully banning the Redskins’ name from the campus sta-dium wouldn’t have remedied the cultural conditions that fostered that name in the first place.

Instead, we feel that the long-term suc-cess of the protesters’ efforts will depend on their persistence beyond Nov. 2. Sun-day’s football game was a rallying point — but the greatest danger to long-term activ-ist movements is often the short-term ap-peal of rallying points.

To that end, we encourage those in-volved in the protests to release a plan of action informing interested University stu-dents how they can continue their activism in the coming months.

T he presidents of Dartmouth College and Stanford University have sent a joint letter to apologize to about 100,000 Mon-

tana citizens after three of the schools’ political science professors conducted an unethical ex-periment involving the state’s voters.

The voters received letters providing po-litical information about candidates running in the state’s Supreme Court election that were marked with the official state seal. But they actually came from the three professors who were studying whether the mail would affect voting patterns. Similar mail was sent to voters in California and New Hampshire.

According to a Stanford spokesperson, no institutional review board at Stanford ap-proved the experiment, although a board at Dartmouth may have approved an earlier version of it.

Montana officials have accused the re-searchers of violating four laws, and the pro-fessors have remained silent. However, the universities’ apology letter clearly states that no experiment should ever risk altering an election’s outcome.

Still, some critics have questioned the apology’s sincerity, noting that one of the accused professors previously conducted a controversial experiment that examined legislator-constituent relations by sending Texas lawmakers more than 1,000 emails that appeared to come from voters.

We urge all those in the social sciences to remember that the world is not a laboratory. Experiments often have real-world conse-quences that sometimes outweigh the ben-efits of scientific knowledge. Ethical codes are the only thing protecting people from be-ing studied unwittingly.

Respect our national anthem

I am neither a University of Minnesota student nor an alumnus. In fact, I graduated from the University of Illinois in 1983 and eventually served for 25 years in the United States Army. I was in attendance at the Min-nesota-Illinois football game last weekend — our homecoming at Illinois. My family and I recently moved back to Illinois, and this year, I bought season football tickets.

I’m writing not about what happened on the field during the game, but about some-thing that occurred before the game —spe-cifically during the national anthem. As it happened, we had some Minnesota fans seated near us. This wasn’t unusual, since we’ve had opposing team fans sitting near us at all the games so far.

As a veteran and an American, I take great pride in standing for and singing along with the national anthem. The words

contained therein are powerful and are meant to inspire great pride in our nation and the heroes who have given us so much over the years. Many have sacrificed so much to ensure our freedom, and they de-serve our utmost respect.

We were singing the National Anthem and came to the last line of the song, “O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.” That line means so much. We are free, and it is because of the brave that we have such freedom. Nevertheless, several of the Minnesota fans inserted the word “Gophers” in place of the word “brave.”

My wife and I were completely shocked and appalled that anyone would do such a thing. I consider it a great affront to all the brave souls who have come before to des-ecrate our national anthem in such a way. I’m all for team spirit, but I believe there are lines that should not be crossed. This shouldn’t be read as an anti-Minnesota

rant. I would be equally disturbed if I heard Illini fans doing likewise.

My wife spoke to one Gophers fan dur-ing the game. He told us that this practice has become commonplace at some Minne-sota sporting events. I don’t know if that’s the case, but if it is, I would hope that orga-nizations or individuals with sway would en-courage the fans to forgo this practice. Our nation, veterans, military, public servants and citizens deserve the respect that the national anthem, sung in the correct man-ner, gives them.

Minnesota’s actual energy futureIn a previous letter to the editor, titled

“Minnesota’s energy future,” the student writing described a future in which coal is still hailed as the primary source for pow-er. This is not a viable option.

I don’t mean that the United States doesn’t have enough. I mean that at the rate we’re going, we will soon have reached the point of no return. At that time, we will have dumped more car-bon dioxide, a major byproduct of burn-ing coal, into the atmosphere than is safe.

To me, it seems that solar power is be-ing criminally underutilized at less than 1 percent of our total energy supply. It’s also not correct to assume that the sun has to be shining all the time to make solar a vi-able option; solar panels build up reserves to use when the sun doesn’t shine.

No one is suggesting that we freeze to death. Realistically, it’ll take a while to completely divest from coal sources. But until then, we need to take steps because climate change is happening and it’s hap-pening fast.

The Gophers played the i r f i r s t t r ue away game of the season — and showed that they’re vulnerable.

The Gophers went to St. Cloud State on Friday and lost to the No. 7 Huskies 4-1.

But the Gophers and sophomore for ward Jus-tin Kloos rebounded the following day, winning at home to split the series.

Minnesota’s first loss was a sloppy af fair for the team, and head coach Don Lucia said the team cou ldn ’ t a f for d many mistakes in the Huskies’ building.

“St. Cloud’s a good team,” Lucia said. “You have to give a great ef-fort just to give yourself a chance [in their arena].”

Penalties plagued the Gophers throughout the game. Six dif ferent Go-phers committed penalties, and the Huskies capital-ized, scoring two power-play goals.

The Huskies got on the board first with a goal 15 minutes into the game. Then, with three seconds left in the first period, they scored again to head into the break up 2-0.

Power-play goals in the second and third periods widened St. Cloud’s lead to 4-0.

Sophomore for ward Hudson Fasching put the Gophers on the board with a goal early in the third pe-riod, which junior defense-man Mike Reilly assisted.

The goal was Fasching’s fourth in six games, a number that ranks second to Kloos

on the team.Kloos scored his fifth

goal of the season Satur-day, an overtime tally that sealed a victory for the Go-phers. The goal also gave Kloos his first collegiate hat trick.

The Gophers star ted strong Saturday after their lackluster performance Fri-day, outshooting the Hus-kies 12-2 in the first period.

“There’s no question Friday [that] we came out flat, and I think that was one thing we were going to prevent,” Kloos said on

Saturday. “I f we went down, we were going to go down with speed and effort.”

Kloos put the Gophers on the board first, 12 sec-onds into the second pe-riod. Kloos tapped in a pass from senior captain Kyle Rau and crashed into the net after his shot.

St. Cloud scored two goals in the second period to take the lead, but Kloos struck again with approxi-mately 12 seconds remain-ing in the period to tie the game.

The two teams ex -changed goals in the third period to keep the game tied 3-3 at the end of regulation.

That allowed Kloos to play hero in overtime.

“Obviously, it was Kloos’ night tonight,” Lucia said. “Kloos was in the right spot, where you need to be in front of the net and quick pass out and a nice, quick shot for the win.”

The Gophers came out of the weekend with a couple of injuries, and Lu-cia said he expects senior

for ward Travis Boyd to miss about a month due to a lower-body injury.

J u n i o r d e f e n s e m a n Brady Skjei suffered an in-jury in the second period of Saturday’s game and did not return. Lucia said he is day-to-day.

The Gophers will contin-ue to face tests in noncon-ference play going forward, as they take on Notre Dame next, which was ranked coming into the weekend.

“Obviously we’re not going to be undefeated this season,” sophomore

forward Taylor Cammarata said. “There’s a lot of good teams out there, and any-body can win any night.”

BY GRANT [email protected]

Three of the Gophers’ top players didn’t play in Sat-urday’s game, and the team didn’t score in a 1-0 loss to Bemidji State — marking its fourth loss in the last 110 games.

The loss came a day af-ter the team skated to a 2-2 tie and fell in a shootout to the Beavers, a team that was ranked last in the con-ference heading into the weekend.

Junior Hannah Brandt and sophomores Lee Stecklein and Dani Cameranesi didn’t play in Saturday’s loss be-cause they had U.S. national team commitments in prepa-ration for the upcoming Four Nations Cup.

“Those guys account for over 40 percent of our offense,” head coach Brad Frost said. “It has kind of un-fortunately been the story of the first month here. We haven’t been getting a lot of secondary scoring.”

The Gophers had their chance to put the puck in the back of the net, as they out-shot Bemidji State 36-19 on Saturday.

But the Beavers’ goalie, sophomore Brittni Mowat, put on a show over the week-end, making a combined 83 saves and limiting an explo-sive Gophers attack to just two goals.

“We gave ourselves a chance to tie it up, but their goaltender played fantastic, and they blocked a lot of shots,” Frost said. “They did what they need to do, so cred-it to them.”

As the third period

progressed Saturday, it was evident that fatigue was set-ting in for the Gophers, who were playing with only three lines and no substitutes.

“We definitely had a short bench tonight,” senior for-ward Meghan Lorence said. “It was a good test for us, and I think we responded the best we could with who we had and the numbers we had.”

Friday’s game featured more scoring chances for both teams, as both goalies dealt with constant action in the front of their nets.

Freshman Kelly Pannek

took the puck coast to coast to score her first collegiate goal, giving the Gophers a 1-0 lead in the second period.

“There is nothing quite like scoring a goal,” Pannek said. “You just feel like you are contributing and doing your job. It is always nice to get the first one off your shoulders.”

Bemidji State scored the next two goals to take the lead before Camera-nesi deflected senior Rachel Ramsey’s shot to tie the game with 1:18 remaining in

the third period.T h e t e a m s s k a t e d

through a scoreless over-time before the Beavers edged the Gophers in the shootout 2-1.

“Unfortunately, we are better at losing shootouts than we are at winning them,” Frost said.

Senior captain Rachael Bo-na made it clear that the week-end’s results were nothing to get worked up over, and she is confident in her team’s abil-ity to rebound the next time it plays.

“I think this is normal

and this is what happens to normal teams,” Bona said. “We are still a great team. I mean, it’s only one loss.”

booed, fans watching the game also voiced dissatis-faction aimed at referees or instances of poor play from Minnesota.

Vikings fullback Jerome Felton also said the game felt like business as usual.

“I didn’t even know any-thing was going on,” he said. “That’s out of our control. ... The only thing that af-fected us was telling our fam-ily which route to take [to the stadium].”

The Washington team has faced protests from groups nationwide for years.

“In that locker room,” quarterback Robert Griffin III said, “we focus on what’s go-ing on in there and what’s go-ing on on that field. You can’t really worry about the nega-tivity that’s swirling around. Someday, that’ll stop, and I truly believe that.”

Washington had other troubles to overcome Sunday besides the protest. On top of losing the game on a fourth-quarter comeback by Minne-sota, the team got into a bus accident just hours before game time.

Prior to the contest, one bus transporting Washington players rear-ended another team bus about five minutes away from the stadium.

Griffin said the accident af-fected the team.

“We saw the bus, hit the bus and we both thought we were going to fly out the win-dow shield,” said Griffin, who was sitting in the bus’s front row next to fullback Darrel Young.

Griffin said he thought some of his teammates had gotten whiplash from the acci-dent, and he said it was an eye-opening event for the team.

“A lot of guys had their lives flash before their eyes, and it was not a good mo-ment,” he said. “You don’t ex-pect that being on a bus head-ing to a game … especially a wreck that bad that could have been catastrophic.”

R a c i s m , p r e j u -dices and hatred have littered the

streets of the United States for centuries.

People of this nation have perpetually fought to tear down these dis-criminations, and it was no dif ferent Sunday as thousands of people took to University of Minnesota streets to protest the Washington Redskins’ team name.

Members of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe and the Shakopee Mde-wakanton Sioux tribes, as well as people from several other groups, participated in Sunday’s demonstra t ion . The makeup of the protest’s attendees reflects the need for a resolution to the controversial team name debate, but more impor tantly, that the American Indian com-munity should make the decision.

The 566 federal ly recognized tribes should decide the future of the Redskins name.

Though reaching a widespread consensus could be challenging, the collective movement is key if those on either side of the issue want to do what’s best for Ameri-can Indians.

Years ago, Florida State and the University of Utah both received consent to continue us-ing their team names be-cause the Seminole and Ute tribes gave approval, respectively.

So let members of the tribes be the people who decide the Washington Redskins issue, too.

Maybe a l l o f the tribes would decide that the Washington Red-skins name isn’t of fen-sive and that the team should keep its logo.

Or, the decision says the opposite, and Wash-ington should find a new team name.

But consider the con-troversy surrounding the name’s place in the countr y’s histor y. One historian from the Na-tional Museum of Natu-ral Histor y, Smithson-ian Institution, told the Washington Post in 2005 that the origin of the Washington team’s name began rather amicably.

Senior linguist Ives Goddard told the orga-nization that when the name first appeared as an English expression centuries ago, “it came in the most respectful context and at the high-est level.”

“These [situations] are white people and In-dians talking together, with the white people t r y ing to ingrat ia te themselves,” he said.

Others , inc luding members of the National Coalition Against Rac-ism in Sports and Media, argue the name is offen-sive.

“The name is a racial epithet,” Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges said after speaking to protesters from a Uni-versity-provided stage. “There’s no room for that in the 21st century anywhere, let alone on a public stage and plat-form like the NFL.”

But the controversy’s resolution shouldn’t be decided by city officials, like Hodges, or even the Washington Redskins’ owner, Daniel Snyder.

Instead, American Indians and those in-volved in their commu-nity should choose the name’s future.

Minnesota’s road woes continue

Gophers lose last regular season game

VOLLEYBALL

SOCCER

BY RACHEL [email protected]

The Gophers entered their match at Purdue on Saturday night winless in Big Ten road games.

That didn’t change this weekend, as the Gophers (14-9, 4-8 Big Ten) lost to the Boilermakers in straight sets to drop to 10th in the conference standings.

Head coach Hugh Mc-Cutcheon said the team committed too many un-forced errors in the loss.

“We shot ourselves in the foot a little,” he said.

Minnesota started slow Saturday night, falling be-hind 14-7 in the first set.

But after a timeout, the Gophers went on an 8-1 run to tie the set 15-15.

However, Minnesota couldn’t maintain that suc-cess and dropped the set.

“In the very beginning, we were a little frantic,” sophomore middle blocker Paige Tapp said.

The second set was

more of an even match be-tween the two teams and re-mained tight until the end.

“When i t gets into the red zone, we just re-ally need to make the other team play,” sophomore out-side hitter Sarah Wilhite said. “The first and second set especially, we got a little frantic in the last couple points. If we just clean that up, then we’ll be able to … end up winning those sets instead of losing them.”

In the third set, Minne-sota came out with more confidence.

But halfway through, the Gophers reverted back

to playing with less energy and dropped the set and match.

Tapp said the team had a difficult time cutting back on errors and managing its side of the net.

She also said the team needed to start off playing strong.

“We got behind and had to work really hard to get back in it,” Tapp said. “If we establish ourselves early, that will help us out a lot.”

Wilhite and Tapp both said the team per formed well defensively, but Minne-sota’s blocking could have been better Saturday.

The Gophers entered the weekend leading the league in blocks and blocks per set, but they had only six team blocks Saturday night to Purdue’s 10.

Next weekend, Minne-sota will continue its road trip at Michigan State and Michigan.

With the loss, the Gophers have now lost five of their last six games.

Tarah Hobbs s tood firm in the Gophers’ last match of the regular sea-son, but her team’s attack wasn’t able to provide any support.

Minnesota (10-8-1, 7-5-1 Big Ten) fell to Northwest-ern 1-0 in double overtime on Saturday.

“This is obviously a re-ally, really disappointing result for us and a tough way to close out the regu-lar season,” head coach Stefanie Golan said in an audio statement for GopherSpor ts.com. “We really, really struggled to find the game. We were not as clean as we typically are technically.”

Hobbs recorded nine saves in the match, and she faced plenty of pres-sure during the game, as the Wildcats outshot the Gophers 20 to three. None of the Gophers ’ three shots were on goal.

Hobbs didn’t let the ball into the net for well over 100 minutes of play, though, as the teams went through regulation and one over time period scoreless.

The tie was broken in the 107th minute of the game, as Nor thwestern freshman for ward Mi -chelle Manning scored to give her team the victory.

Both teams had plenty

to play for. The victor y vaulted Northwestern into the Big Ten tournament, while the Gophers’ loss moves them down from their place in the stand-ings last week.

“Nor thwes ter n was playing desperate,” Go-lan said in the statement. “They knew that a result could put them into the tour nament , and they played for it , and they played hard.”

The Gophers came into the weekend in a three-way tie for third place in the Big Ten, but they now fall to the No. 6 seed in the conference tournament.

With their regular sea-son concluded, the Go-phers will have a shor t week to prepare for their first game of the Big Ten tournament against Michi-gan on Wednesday.

The two teams played once this season, and the Gophers lost 2-1 in over-time on the road.

The Gophers will likely need a strong showing in the conference tour na-ment to solidify a potential NCAA tournament bid.

“Regardless if it’s a win or a loss, we turn the page the next day,” Golan said in the statement. “There could be a lot of soccer left to play. And that’s what we’re planning.”

Sophomore goalie Tarah Hobbs made nine saves in the overtime loss.

The Gophers might be youthful, but they still man-aged to come away with a fifth-place finish at the Big Ten championships on Sunday in Iowa City, Iowa.

The team’s inexperi-ence was a big question heading into the race, but head coach Sarah Hopkins said Minnesota’s younger runners stepped up at the meet.

“The people that haven’t been here before raced pretty darn well. Danielle [Anderson] ran great. She was our No. 4 again and just has been really, really solid all year. And Haley Johnson had the race of the meet for us. I was really, re-ally proud of the way she competed today,” Hopkins said.

Redshir t junior L iz Berkholtz led Minnesota and finished 16th in a field of 123 runners.

Berkholtz and fellow

redshir t junior Becca Dyson were the only two run-ners on the team who com-peted in the meet last year.

Berkho l t z sa id the younger runners had the opportunity to learn from the meet.

They appeared to do just that.

“Any first-time Big Ten meet is a whirlwind. You learn so much, and they’re going to take this experi-ence,” Berkholtz said. “I’m really happy with how they ran.”

Getting out to a fast star t has been a point of emphasis for the Gophers in the past few meets, and this meet was no exception.

“ U n f o r t u n a t e l y, w e needed to run a little better 1K to 3K to put ourselves in a better position, but I was really proud of the way we fought the second half of the race. We could’ve very easily been sixth or even seventh,” Hopkins said. “We just need to be more of a confident team [in the] first 3K.”

Dyson said some run-ners were hesitant to come out fast, which contributed to the slow start. But the Gophers recovered later in the meet.

“We really had a great [3K] through 6K, but this is a challenging course, and I think we were a little tenta-tive going in,” Dyson said.

Men finish seventhWhile traveling back

f r om a seventh -p lace f inish at the Big Ten championships, junior r unner Aaron Bar tnik had only three words to describe the team’s performance.

“We were disappointed,” he said.

Bar tnik said the Go-phers were too energized at the start of the meet, which hur t their per formance down the stretch.

“We went into this race very excited, and we had a lot of guys at the front of the pack … early in the race. Once the rest of the

pack star ted engaging in the race, we started falling back,” Bartnik said.

Bartnik was the top fin-isher for the Gophers, plac-ing seventh in a field of 106 runners.

Bar tnik praised fresh-man Obsa Ali, who finished second on the Gophers and 26th overall.

“Obsa ran ver y, ver y well. [I’m] very proud of him,” Bartnik said.

Ali was one of three Gophers runners to set a new personal record at the meet.

“We all learned some-thing today about racing at the collegiate level, myself included. I think the main message we want to get from this race is to learn how good the Big Ten is and respect that,” Bartnik said.

The women placed fifth and the men finished seventh at the Big Ten meet.

A false start disqualified the Gophers in their first event of Friday’s meet.

But they overcame that en route to a commanding 195-105 victory over Iowa at the University Aquatic Center.

“On the women’s side, I think so many people stepped up and did a great job. It’s hard to pick out just one or two [performances],”

head coach Kelly Kremer said.

Senior Kiera Janzen made a strong impact, win-ning both the 1,000-yard freestyle and the 500-yard freestyle, along with earning a second-place finish in the 400-yard freestyle relay.

“She really took control of the races and got out in front and gave us some big wins in the distance free-styles,” Kremer said.

Janzen said she has been changing her stroke this sea-son, adding that she’s finally seeing results of the change.

“It has been kind of a frustrating process because anytime you make major stroke changes, it is kind of hard to see it in practice and

hard to see it in meets,” Jan-zen said. “This meet, I felt like I am starting to see it more and starting to feel that difference in the races.”

In addition to dominat-ing in the pool, the Gophers were successful in diving.

Sophomore Yu Zhou finished first in the 1-meter competition, while sopho-more Lexi Tenenbaum placed first in the 3-meter.

Men win tight meetDespite splitting event

victories with the Hawkeyes at the meet, the Gophers came out with a victory on Friday, thanks to the efforts of senior CJ Smith and soph-omore Jakub Maly.

T h e G o p h e r s a n d

Hawkeyes were close go-ing into the final individual event, the 200-yard indi-vidual medley, when Maly came through with a crucial first-place finish that put the team in the lead.

“That’s my event,” Ma-ly said. “I know the race, [and] when I do my job and do what I have to do, I can just do great.”

Kremer said he was proud of the performances by Maly and senior Andrew Hartbarger, who took sec-ond in the 200-yard individ-ual medley.

“They knew that they needed big swims, and they went out and did it for us,” Kremer said. “That was just outstanding.”

Smith finished the meet placing first in both the 1,000-yard and the 500-yard freestyle.

“I think that I did what I needed to do for the team, [and] I think a bunch of the other guys did as well,” Smith said. “So that was mostly [what was] on my mind, and times were sec-ond. I was just happy to see the team do well.”

Junior Manny Pollard swept both the 1-meter and 3-meter diving competitions for his fourth and fifth event victories of the season.

Minnesota lost its last Big Ten meet but rebound-ed against Iowa.

“We are getting better every week,” Kremer said.

“That was our goal com-ing into this meet. We just wanted to be better than we [have been] so far this sea-son, [and] I know the prog-ress we are trying to make is there.”

The women’s team remained undefeated with a commanding win.

crossword

dr. dateDr. Date,

Recently, I met a girl, and we hit it off from the moment we met. Now, our interaction has hit that semi-awkward stage at the beginning, where the mod-ern art of “texting” rules the main course of our communication.

Me? I find textual messages to be vague and often ambiguous as to the intentions of the sender and so on with women.

Therefore, I turn to you with my ques-tion: Is it OK to just not reply to her mes-sage? For example, it’s Sunday after-noon, and I’m watching football with the bros. I enjoy receiving a message from her, and I follow her SMS banter briefly. But soon, I find myself at a loss.

—Abraham Lincoln

It’s All Right to Be a Luddite,Not replying to her text messages

will have one of two effects: She’ll either think you’re a bad boy who’s hard to get, or she’ll think you’re extremely rude and move on from the relationship. So any way you slice it, texting isn’t an ideal form of communication when new ro-mance is budding. Words and intentions can often be misconstrued with nonver-bal communication.

That said, we live in a time when plans are made and relationships are grown through texting, so it’s important to reply to her messages. While adapt-ing and complying with her chosen method of communication might work in your favor, don’t be afraid to carry things forward the old-fashioned way, too.

Let your crush know how you prefer to be contacted and when, and she’ll understand. She’ll likely find your asser-tiveness attractive and appreciate your old-school charm.

—Dr. Date

Dr. Date,After five years, my boyfriend and I

are in a pretty serious relationship. We live together, and we’ve talked about getting married, but we both agree it’s something that we want to wait on until after we graduate — maybe three or four years down the road.

My best friend, on the other hand, just got engaged to her boyfriend af-ter only five months of dating. Five months?! How can you make that sort of commitment after knowing someone for such a short time? She says they’re in love, and he’s “the one,” but I don’t buy into it. I think she’s making a mistake that could ruin her life.

I’ve told her this multiple times, and our discussion always ends up turning into a huge fight. She immediately gets defensive and takes little digs at my re-lationship with my boyfriend, ultimately saying we’re too chicken to tie the knot.

How can I make her understand that she’s rushing into things? Should I just let her make this mistake? Help me, Dr. Date.

—Anonymous

To Tie the Knot or Not,Though it may be hard to believe,

your friend and her boyfriend might be taking the steps of their relationship at a pace that’s comfortable for them. So who are you to judge? Getting engaged after five months may seem foolish to some, but to those who are in the midst of love, it often feels like the right thing.

It’s all a matter of perspective. Just because you and your beau are taking things slow doesn’t mean you have the right to criticize others’ decision to get engaged quickly. Put this matter to rest, and keep taking your relationship at the pace that’s right for you.

—Dr. Date

BACKTALK

Yo Doc!Wud up? I’ve got a problem that I hope you

can help me with. I’ve been with my gf for abouttwo years now. At first, the sex was great. Two sum-mers ago we lived apart for the summer. I livedwith my mom north of the cities and she lived withher sister and her sister’s family in Mpls.

Because of that fact, we really had no privacy;we didn’t have sex much that summer, and sincethen our sex life has gone downhill. We used tohave sex at least once a week and now for the pastyear or so she is never in the mood. I’m lucky toget sex once a month and that’s only because shefeels like she has to because she is my gf. We’vetried different positions, types, etc., but nothing ishelping. I love my gf, but I don’t love the extremelack of sex. Now don’t get me wrong, sex isn’teverything, but in our relationship now, it’s noth-ing. Do you have any suggestions?

— Sexless in St. Paul

Dear Sexless in St. Paul,When the physical spark lapses in a relation-

ship, and you’re left holding it in your hand in thecorner of your shower before you head off to yourdepressing job, it usually means you’ve been mar-ried for years and you can’t keep your eyes off thatdamn fine woman down the street.

When you’re in the middle of college, in manyways at your sexual peak, however, you shouldn’thave to worry about your significant other’s signifi-cant lack of a sex drive.

You’re still kids! She should be coming homeafter class and literally ripping your clothes off. Orat least giving you oral sex every other Tuesday …

The point is that you guys are young; youshouldn’t have to worry about a going-nowheresex life. That’s reserved for when you get your firstjob and just don’t have time for it.

She’s your girlfriend; talk to her. Let her knowthat it’s just not normal for two college kids who’vebeen in a physical and emotional relationship tojust quit playing sheet karate, if you know what I’msaying.

You shouldn’t have to wait for a full moon tounleash her wild beast.

— Dr. Date

Dear Dr. Date,I am really in a dilemma right now. I just met

this guy on a Halloween Hookup, probably thebest I’ve ever had. He really made me scream. I re-ally liked him and all of the things that went on.

However, I have a phobia of seeing guys in themorning after a hookup, so I got out of there as fastas I could to start my walk of shame. I felt reallybad leaving after such a great night because I actu-ally like this guy. But, there is someone else.

I have this awesome guy friend; I love to partywith him. He had to see me leave with the Hal-loween Hookup, and I think he was devastated.He actually tried to save me from the Hookup,not knowing how great Halloween Hookup is.

I’m getting the vibe that he is interested, but Ican’t even imagine being more than friends. I stillwant to be able to hang out with him and have itnot be awkward. I just don’t know what to do, as Iam waiting for a call from Halloween Hookup. So Iam looking for two things, how to face the morn-ing after the hookup, and how can I be with Hal-loween Hookup without hurting my friend.

— Anastasia Beaverhousen

Dear Anastasia Beaverhousen,I’m hoping you’re some sort of Soviet-bloc era

porn star holdover; at least that’s the gist I’m get-ting from your pseudonym.

First off, stop using the phrase “HalloweenHookup” like it’s some clichéd and renownedterm. (Only the Good Doctor can make up catch-phrases and terms and act as if they are well-known.)

Regardless, your buddy (the real buddy, notyour ghoulish hookup), if you are right in assuminghe likes you, is going to present you with an awk-ward and tough situation.

You’ve probably got to be up front about itwith him, but don’t just blurt out, “I know youwant this, but you can’t have it … ever.” Wait forthis baller to actually attempt to act on his (pre-sumed) feelings — it’s going to be awful, andyou’ll both probably (hopefully?) be too drunk toremember exactly what happened, but you’ll feelthat ill-at-ease tinge in the back of your throat, likeso much stale beer (and Halloween Hookupjuice).

Just start seeing the new fella you’ve met; it’syour life and your relationship. You may lose yourfriend over it, but that’s a decision you’ve got tomake.

Do you go with Slimer, who can make youscream, drips a strangely familiar viscous fluid andcan fly through walls? Or do you take into consid-eration the feelings of Egon, who secretly pines foryou, appears mild-mannered and quiet and is ahuge nerd?

’Sup, to you. But if it were up to me, I’d go withDr. Peter Venkman, he made Sigourney Weaverturn back from that demon thing she turned intoand he said, “Hold your sticks!” … “Heat ’em up!”… “Make ’em hard!” and finally …

“Let’s show this prehistoric bitch how we dothings downtown! THROW IT!”

Boo yah,— Dr. Date

Hey Dr. Date,I am writing this to comment on the letter

written by Not a fan of awkwardness on Fri-day. I was recently in a similar situation, but theperson I was crushing on wasn’t going to start arelationship with someone.

Since I had spent my whole life being re-served about my feelings for girls, I decided totry being open and honest, and I was completelysurprised by the outcome.

My biggest concern for Not a fan of awk-wardness is that she doesn’t take into consider-ation her feelings about possible outcomes.

If you remain silent and he doesn’t like you,you will still have him as a friend that could pos-sibly become more. However, if you remainsilent and he does like you, you could miss outon a lot of good times.

Conversely, if you are open and he doesn’tlike you, you risk losing him completely in everyaspect (however, he could theoretically comeback). But, if you are open and he likes you too,you could end up in an awesome relationship.

Whatever you decide, I would encourageyou to think it through because I didn’t, andwhen I got shunned, it was a complete surprise,and now I can only wonder what could havebeen.

Saturday’s Puzzle Solved

Thursday’s Puzzle Solved


Thousands protest against ‘Redskins’Name controversy continues

Questions over whether Washington’s name and logo should have been allowed at the University have persisted for months.

The Shakopee Mde-wakanton Sioux Community donated $10 million in 2007 for the construction of TCF Bank Stadium, the largest gift Gophers athletics had ever received at the time.

That funding helped es-tablish the stadium’s Tribal Nations Plaza, which honors the 11 American Indian na-tions in the state.

Conversations leading up to the protest ignited on a national level in June when U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum, D-Minn., sent an open letter to Vikings owner Zygi Wilf that asked him to speak out against the name, which she said violates University policy.

“The time for debate has ended — the name of the Washington franchise is clear-ly an offensive racial slur,” McCollum wrote in the letter.

University President Eric Kaler also condemned the name in an August letter to McCollum, saying he wanted to eliminate use of the logo and name on all game-day material.

“I agree that the current name is offensive and should be replaced,” Kaler said in his response.

However, University and city officials have weighed in on the controversy in recent weeks and said they don’t have legal authority to ban the team’s name from the sta-dium.

The University sponsored educational programming on American Indian issues during the week leading up to the game, and University Services provided a stage for protesters outside the stadium and helped organize the march from Northrop Auditorium.

Minnesota is home to

many American Indian lead-ers, which was one reason for the protest’s scale, said David Glass, president of the Na-tional Coalition Against Rac-ism in Sports and Media.

“The time is right to do this,” he said, “and we’re go-ing to be following the Red-skins around to every game.”

Hours of protestsThe protests began

hours before the game, as only the most dedicated of Vikings fans were tailgating near the stadium.

American Indians from at least four states bused in for Sunday’s protest, orga-nizers said. More than two dozen groups of American Indians and activists were in attendance.

Several city and Univer-sity-based groups formed three separate protests, which converged outside TCF Bank Stadium around 10 a.m.

Two of the protests start-ed on campus, with mem-bers of the American Indian Student Cultural Center gathering at Appleby Hall and national groups holding a rally at Northrop Audito-rium.

“This is something we can march for and change,” said child psychology senior and AISCC member Marie Armstrong.

The American Indian Op-portunities Industrialization Center organized a third pro-test, which drew hundreds of demonstrators to the stadium from its headquarters on Franklin Avenue East.

Marches to the stadium remained largely peaceful, though a few hecklers on both sides yelled and swore at each other.

University officials and protest organizers gave var ying estimates of the crowd’s peak size. Some said it reached 5,000, but several Minnesota Daily reporters obser ved roughly 3,500 protesters.

The Minneapolis Police Department deployed two bi-cycle teams of seven officers each to secure protest perim-eters and to keep people off University Avenue Southeast, said Second Precinct Inspec-tor Kathy Waite.

Alexandria Greybull said she left her South Dakota home at 4 a.m. to make it to the protest.

“We don’t want to be out here represented badly,” Greybull said. “It’s really disrespectful for them to use the Redskins name knowing the definition of it.”

Lauren Johnson, who wore the Washington team’s burgundy and gold colors on Sunday, said she respects the protesters’ purpose but

doesn’t think the name needs to change.

“When they named the team, they weren’t doing it to be derogatory — it [conno-tated] power ... warriors, and fighters,” she said as demon-strators chanted for a name change yards away. “It’s just part of the history and the team.”

Samuel Wounded Knee, an American Indian from South Dakota, said changing the name would be easy.

“I’m addressing every Washington fan,” he said. “We don’t want to be their mascot. My son doesn’t want to be their mascot. Our cul-ture isn’t for their fun and games. … We’re educating peacefully.”

After hours of marching and chanting, the protest had quieted by game time, as most demonstrators listened to speeches outside the stadi-um from local and American Indian officials.

“The name is a racial epithet,” Minneapolis May-or Betsy Hodges said af-ter speaking to protesters.

“There’s no room for that in the 21st century anywhere, let alone on a public stage and platform like the NFL.”

The Washington team has said the name honors Ameri-can Indians. But others, like Robert Lilligren, president and CEO of Little Earth of United Tribes, say that’s an invalid argument.

“To hold it up as anything we should be proud of or should celebrate is really false,” the former Minneapo-lis City Council member said, “and the community’s voice has been saying this for a long time.”

A legal stalemateSeveral protest leaders

called Sunday’s demonstra-tion the largest of its kind. But even the officials who spoke out against the Wash-ington name conceded they were unable to keep it off campus.

The Vikings pay the University about $300,000 per game to use TCF Bank Stadium for the 2014 and 2015 seasons. As part of that agreement, the school can’t prohibit the Washington team name and logo, Presi-dent Kaler said last month.

“We are leasing the sta-dium to the Vikings, but our contract does not allow us to dictate their schedule and who they play,” he told the Daily in an October interview.

As the protest wound

down, Vice President for Equity and Diversity Katrice Albert voiced the University’s disappointment with the NFL for allowing the team to keep its name.

“Sports logos and names that are of fensive to op-pressed communities need to be changed,” she said. “The University wants to be on the right side of the issue.”

The city also couldn’t ban the name, though council members have discussed revisiting the issue when Washington plays at the new Vikings stadium, which is set to open in 2016.

Minneapolis City Attor-ney Susan Segal previously said that although her of-fice would have liked to sue the team, banning the name would violate Washington’s First Amendment rights to free speech.

Some protesters praised the University for doing as much as it could to mini-mize the name and logo’s presence.

Many others said the name is hurtful and more should be done to retire it.

Chuck Norcross of Cham-plin, Minn., said people called him “redskin” when he was growing up.

“Even as a little kid grow-ing up, I knew the name was not a very good name,” he said. “So I think [the team] should be renamed. In my lifetime, I hope to see it.”
