Since gracing the stage at Minnesota State University, Mankato five years ago, Claire Wellin has already built a re-sume any aspiring actor would be proud of.

She has a handful of plays under her belt in Chicago, took part in television pilot season in Los Angeles, and will now tackle Broadway to perform the role of “Reza” in the Tony Award winning musical “Once.”

“It’s been quite a whirlwind and I wouldn’t have it any other way,” said Wellin, who will play the role of “Reza” until mid-April, while regular performer Elizabeth Davis goes on hiatus.

“Once” is a musical about a Dublin singer/songwriter who repairs vacuums in his father’s shop by day. His girlfriend, and inspiration for songwriting, leaves Dublin for New York. Despondent, he nearly quits his

musical aspirations until meet-ing another girl who keeps that dream alive. Wellin will play the roommate of that girl; she will also play the violin as part of her role in “Once.”

Wellin began playing the violin at age 5, and acting shortly thereafter. Her father, the conductor of the Bismarck-Mandan Symphony Orchestra, landed his daughter the roll of a “troll child” in her first play, so it’s no mystery that this im-mersion into acting and music at an early age led to a lifelong passion.

“I’ve always been attracted to musicals because singing is my first love,” she said. “I have also always loved classical mu-sicals, standards, so that’s how I entered the musical world.”

At MSU, Wellin starred in “Hamlet,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “Peter Pan” among others. She decided to attend college in Mankato on recom-mendations from her friends.

“I had friends who had attended MSU and were very

happy with the theatre pro-gram,” Wellin said. “I’ve never been a person who wanted to necessarily stay close to home, but I liked the way [MSU] felt. So, that was part of the choice to go there.”

After graduating in 2008, Wellin earned acting roles in Chicago at Looking Glass Theatre, Steppenwolf Theatre and at the Goodman.

In between acting jobs she also finds time for her musical side projects Youth in a Roman Field and Glad Fanny. Both Chicago-based groups feature traditional folk, jazz influenced and gypsy-style arrangements with Wellin as the songwriter for Youth in a Roman Field, and partner Tiffany Topol as the songwriter for Glad Fanny. Topol also accompanies Wellin and multi-instrumentalist Scott Stangland for Youth in a Ro-man Field, and their first full-length record is set to release May 13.

It may not have happened quite the way that head coach Mike Hastings and the Minne-sota State University, Mankato men’s hockey team had initially envisioned it, but for the first time since 2003 and just the second time as members of Division I, the Mavericks are headed to the NCAA tourna-ment.

The no. 11 Mavericks advanced to the tournament de-spite a lopsided 7-2 loss to the tournament-winning Univer-sity of Wisconsin Badgers last Thursday in the quarterfinals of the WCHA Final Five in St. Paul, MN.

The 16-team tournament field was announced Sunday night on ESPN sister network ESPNU, following a raucous weekend of postseason action across the country, including an improbable WCHA title game between streaking no. 14 Wis-consin, and unranked Colorado College.

The Badgers extended their season with twin upsets of Min-nesota State and MacNaughton Cup champion St. Cloud, before downing the similarly surpris-ing Tigers 4-3 Saturday night at Xcel Energy Center.

The status quo came under attack across the country over the weekend, as Notre Dame became the final league champion in CCHA history, downing Michigan 3-1 in the league’s penultimate title game and ensuring that the state of Michigan will go unrepresented in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1979.

The win earns the no. 4 Fighting Irish a matchup with no. 13 St. Cloud State in the

Midwest Regional, while the no. 13 Mavericks square off against the Miami (Ohio) Uni-versity RedHawks.

The CCHA regular season-winning RedHawks (24-11-5 overall), are led by freshman forward Riley Barber and Hobey Baker Award finalist Austin Czarnik.

Out East, Jack Parker’s un-ranked Terriers rallied from a two-goal deficit, upending their Commerce Avenue compatri-ots for a final time, as Boston University bounced Boston College 6-3 in the Hockey East semifinals.

For the first time since 1996 however, Hockey East’s elite were conspicuously absent at TD Garden, as the University of Massachusetts-Lowell followed its regular season crown with a 1-0 ousting of the Terriers, end-ing Parker’s nearly half-century behind the bench.

Canisius captured its first Atlantic Hockey champion-ship with a 5-3 victory over top-seeded Niagara, punching a ticket to Providence, R.I. and a date with no. 1 Quinnipiac in the process.

The Bobcats and Purple Eagles will be joined by no. 16 Canisius and no. 6 Boston College in the East Regional, as Jerry York and his defend-ing national champions look to bring a second straight NCAA title back to Chestnut Hill.

Boston College will once again look to Hobey Baker candidate Johnny Gaudreau, as the program makes a bid to secure its third national title in four years.

The real theatrics however, appear to the in the west, where no. 2 Minnesota is set to square

off with last-minute qualifier Yale in Grand Rapids, MI, opposite a strong matchup be-tween no. 8 North Dakota and no. 10 Niagara.

After their seemingly destined dance in the Final Five semifinals was spoiled by unheralded Colorado College, Minnesota and North Da-kota appear to be on a collision course once again.

The WCHA’s most sur-prising stars, the Wisconsin Badgers, are headed to the northeast for a showdown with Massachusets-Lowell, with both teams riding a streak of superb play from goaltenders Joel Rumpel and Connor Hel-lebuyck.

Rumpel’s resume includes a rare shutout of the high-scoring

Gophers in St. Paul last week-end, while Hellebuyck is sec-ond only to Niagara’s Carsen Chubak with five shutouts on the year.

No. 7 New Hampshire squares off with no. 9 Denver on the other side of the bracket, as both teams limp into the tournament following disap-pointing conference postseason performances.

The Wildcats were ousted by the Providence Friars in the Hockey East tournament Sunday, while fiery head coach George Gwozdecky and the Pioneers became the first victims of Colorado College’s meteoric run to the WCHA finals, falling to the Tigers in a three game series.

Elsewhere in college hockey,

the Hobey Baker Memorial Award Foundation announced the finalists for the titular award in a press release issued Thursday, presented annually to the nation’s top player.

Greg Carey (St. Lawrence), Carsen Chubak (Niagara), Austin Czarnik (Miami), Kyle Flanagan (St. Lawrence), John-ny Gaudreau (Boston College), Eric Hartzell (Quinnipiac), Corban Knight (North Dakota), Danny Kristo (North Dakota), Drew LeBlanc (St. Cloud) and Ryan Walters (Nebraska Omaha) were all selected as finalists for the award.

The list will be narrowed down to three on April 3, when the foundation announces the Hobey Hat Trick at the NCAA Frozen Four in Pittsburgh, PA.

With budget battles dominating the headlines, a debate is raging, not only in the mind-numbingly juvenile halls of congress, but in the main streets of America. The debate centers on where we should cut, what pro-grams can stand to become more efficient. Lost in the shuff le amidst the statistics, however, are human beings, people whose well-being is dependent on the govern-ment, some through no fault of their own.

The less fortunate among us, the ones who receive wel-fare checks, food stamps and government housing, are real people with real needs, and some of us struggle to grasp that concept. Some equate these people with bums who don’t do anything in life but lounge around and collect checks while buying $400 big screen TV’s.

While there is undoubt-edly some cheating that goes on in in the welfare system, steaks and shrimp are no doubt bought on the pub-lic dole, it is important not

to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Some people undoubtedly can use a little more compassion toward their fellow man.

I remember a quote by Billy Fleming circulated by my friends on Facebook this summer.

“The Food Stamp Pro-gram, administered by the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture, is proud to be distribut-ing the greatest amount of free meals and food stamps ever.”

“Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us to ‘Please Do Not Feed the Ani-mals.’ Their stated reason for the policy is because the animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of them-selves. This ends today’s lesson.”

While the post on my friend’s page received 13 likes, for me it was one of the most shocking examples of dehumanizing the least fortunate among us. For me the comment was extremely upsetting, partly because I have family on Food stamps.

My sister Rachel, a 24- year-old living in a struc-tured home in Rochester, struggles with Autism. She works at Wal-Mart, making about $8.00 an hour. Not re-

ally applicable to her situa-tion right now, but she was an extremely hard working student in high school.

After every day of school she would come home and work on homework. She hoped she could get accepted

at The University of Wiscon-sin-Stout, or Iowa State, but unfortunately sometimes life gives us a slap in the face.

Despite frequent visits to universities, and a nearly 4.0

GPA, she couldn’t handle the mental aspect of school, it literally might have led her to the edge of sanity, and it is all part of the struggles of an autistic youth.

Now she receives around $150 a month in government

aid. While thankful for her job, this amount of money is not enough for her to go on any special trips or spending sprees. She doesn’t choose to receive government funds, if she could get a great paying job with great benefits she would take it in a heartbeat, but unfortunately for her, that is not possible.

The Facebook post may only be there for shock value, but the comment is indicative of a culture that doesn’t have much tolerance for “free-loaders and leeches.”

Their perception of reality, however, is a little different than mine. While comparing welfare recipients to animals borders on barbaric, even animals have a responsibility to take care of the members of their pack.

I feel that if we took the time to know welfare recipi-ents like Rachel, people who have been dealt a tough hand, we could connect with them, and some of us could learn that painting with a broad brush and judging welfare re-cipients is never appropriate until you know their indi-vidual stories.

Wellin first auditioned for the part of “Reza” when “Once” held a casting call in Chicago. She was then invited to meet with the play’s creative team while they were in L.A., and flew to New York to meet again with the creative team for the final round of callbacks, but this time with the play’s producers in tow and she landed the roll.

Wellin will make her debut Friday night, and since “Once” has a permanent home on Broadway, the play has a regular cast. Needless to say, Wellin has been busy getting up to speed.

“I’m working a lot with members of the creative team, and with the understudies during understudy rehearsal

once a week,” she said. “And the Friday afternoon before my debut, we’ll have a ‘put-in’ rehearsal, where the entire cast and crew shows up and we run through the show as if it’s a performance.”

Since the regular cast has played in their respective roles for two years, they do not rehearse frequently.

Once Wellin’s run on “Once” is over, she will return to Chicago to begin promoting Youth in a Roman Field’s debut album with Topol and Stang-land.

If you’ve ever stayed in Mankato for a summer or winter break, then you’ve likely noticed that the place quickly becomes somewhat of a ghost town, at least when compared to how active it is during the Fall or Spring.

Summer classes and Min-nesota Vikings training camp provide a brief surge in econom-ic activity during the summer months, but overall it’s a pretty subdued three to four months. It doesn’t take a degree in econom-ics to know that Minnesota State University has a profound effect on the region’s economy.

A study released earlier this month from Wilder Research, a non-profit social services or-ganization, showed that Minne-sota State University, Mankato accounts for an estimated $452 million dollar impact on the lo-cal economy.

Based on its regional econo-my of $9.8 billion in comparison with MSU’s $452 million, for every $100 produced in the region, $5 either directly or indi-rectly related to MSU. Its direct impact totaled $310 million, while the indirect impact was $142 million.

Nearly 6,000 jobs are ac-counted for by the University as well, with the report estimat-ing that the school’s presence is responsible for 5,888 jobs.

“In addition to focusing

on the success of our students through our ‘Big Ideas, Real- World Thinking’ approach to global education, Minnesota State Mankato plays a vital role in supporting our state and regional economy,” explained MSU President Richard Dav-enport in a statement to the media. “Our operations and the economic activity generated by the University touch virtually every corner of our regional economy and support local busi-ness, education and industry. In addition, we have a five-year plan that will continue to grow the impact of the university on our economy.”

Jonathan Zierdt, President and CEO of Greater Mankato Growth, further emphasized the impact of Minnesota State University on the area. When adjusting for economic indica-tors such as the rate of infla-tion and the consumer price index, the percentage of MSU’s economic growth has remained stellar. “It’s easily outpaced those costs,” Zierdt said. “So it’s growing.”

Zierdt also went on to assert that the value created by tourism is understated in studies such as these. Referring to Minnesota State University as one of the “800-pound gorillas” in Greater Mankato’s tourism economy, Zierdt explained how the NCAA basketball tournament and hockey games taking place this month have impacted the economy.

“Our hotels will be filled. Our restaurants will be packed. There will be people in our stores and shops between events,” Zierdt said.

The main industries affected by MSU economic impact for employment growth was educa-tion, food services and drinking places, animal production and grain farming, according to the Wilder Research document prepared by Jose Y. Diaz and Gabriel Pina.

The top three industries affected by the mass student population of a university af-fected the South Central region’s real estate establishments which generated $150.2 million, state and local government education, (i.e. public universities) which generated $59.3 million and food services and drinking places, such as the various restaurants and bars university students flock to for weekend entertain-ment and to avoid cooking, which generated $33.9 million in contribution to the $9.8 billion economy of the South Central region in 2011.

Also taken in to consideration by the study is the future value created by of MSU’s graduates when they go on to their careers, wherever they may be. Assum-ing each graduate works 40 years, the study explains: “Only considering the 2,810 degrees awarded by (MSU) in 2011, this is equivalent to $552.6 million of future value created in the

state.”“Minnesota State Mankato

makes a long-term contribution to the regional economy with ev-ery graduating class because the productivity improvements from higher education last for the worker’s entire career,” stated Jose Diaz, research scientist for Wilder.

When the study is extrapo-lated to include the impact of the seven state universities and 24 community and technical col-leges that are also a part of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) System, it becomes even more apparent that the universities have a vital effect on the state economy.

The Wilder Research study concluded that MnSCU creates an annual economic impact of $8.3 billion (consisting of a direct impact of $5 billion and indirect impact in other indus-tries of $3.3 billion), accounts for a return of $13.53 for each $1 of state appropriation, is responsible for an estimated 80,856 jobs in the state (com-prised of 56,876 direct jobs and 23,979 additional indirect jobs created by vendors, contractors and businesses supplying inputs to our colleges and universities and their students) and produces approximately $490 million in tax revenues for Minnesota state and local governments.

Furthermore, the future value provided by graduates metric, when accounting for all of MnSCU, jumps to an impressive $4.7 billion.

Under the MnSCU system and by this evaluation, Anderson said MSU ranks second behind St. Cloud State University.

“However, these are two completely different areas that they really can’t be compared,” Anderson said.

On average, all campuses under the MnSCU system generate $200 million, yet MSU has surpassed that average by generating more than double the amount to $457 million.

“It’s safe to say that yes this has been the highest economic impact by MSU,” Anderson said. “This report demonstrates that MSU has a tremendous impact and is a tremendous asset to the South Central region of Minnesota.”

With 15,000 students and 1,500 staff, Minnesota State University-Mankato looks to be a vital component for not only the region, but the MnSCU sys-tem and state going forward.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Brav-ing the cold and coyotes, nine-year-old Celia Renteria was certain her father was still alive when she crawled out of a steep Southern California canyon and walked in the desert darkness to summon for help after a rollover crash.

With temperatures dipping into the 40s, she hiked through rugged terrain to a nearby home. No one answered. Then she hiked up the rocky embank-ment and along the road to a commuter rail station where she flagged down a passing motorist early Sunday.

When officers responded, they found Celia’s father, Ale-jandro Renteria, 35, dead. He was pinned in the driver’s seat.

In all, she trekked 1 1/2 to 2 miles.

“She was very courageous, being able to walk through the dark, through bushes and very rough terrain to get help for her dad,” said California Highway Patrol Officer Gil Hernandez. “Had she just waited there, we probably would not have found her until the next day.”

The Renterias’ 2010 Ford Escape was launched about 200 feet down into the canyon along an isolated stretch of the Sierra Highway in the high desert of northern Los Angeles County at about 1 a.m. Sunday, the CHP

said. The vehicle flipped several times.

Authorities said Celia man-aged to free herself from the mangled wreck to find help. She finally found a passing motorist near Acton, a small town tucked in the mountains between Los Angeles and the Mojave Desert.

Law enforcement officials praised Celia’s bravery and tenacity.

“She walked quite a distance in a very, very threatening environment,” CHP Sgt. Tom Lackey told KABC-TV. “It’s very steep and it’s brushy and there’s also coyotes in the back-ground.”

A helicopter airlifted the girl to Children’s Hospital Los An-geles. She was treated for minor injuries including bumps and bruises and a cut on her face.

“She’s in good condition,” Lyndsay Hutchison, a hospital spokeswoman, said Monday. She could not provide any de-tails, citing privacy laws.

A coroner’s spokesman said Monday that Alejandro Renteria was a resident of the North Hol-lywood section of Los Angeles.

Television footage showed crews using a long tow cable to remove the severely damaged black SUV from the canyon.

The CHP was investigating whether alcohol played a role in the crash.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Michele Bachmann and her short-lived campaign last year for the GOP presidential nomi-nation are being investigated by the Office of Congressional Ethics.

A lawyer for the Minnesota Republican said Monday that Bachmann is cooperating with the investigation. The Office of Congressional Ethics is an independent investigative body established by the House five years ago to conduct prelimi-nary investigations into allega-tions of misconduct by House members or their aides. The panel can dismiss cases or refer them to the House Ethics Com-mittee.

“There are no allegations that the congresswoman engaged in any wrongdoing,” lawyer Wil-liam McGinley, of Patton Boggs said. “We are constructively engaged with the OCE and are confident that at the end of their review the OCE Board will

conclude that Congresswoman Bachmann did not do anything inappropriate.”

In January, former Bach-mann aide Peter Waldron wrote in a letter to the Fed-eral Election Commission that Bachmann’s campaign made improper payments to an Iowa state senator who served as her state chairman.

Waldron’s letter also alleged that unpaid staffers and contrac-tors were required to sign a non-disclosure agreement prohibit-ing interviews with attorneys or law enforcement before check-ing with the campaign.

Bachmann’s attorney, McGinley, has previously denied Waldron’s allega-tions. Sorenson has also said he violated no state or federal campaign laws while serving as Bachmann’s chairman. Waldron was Bachmann’s national field coordinator from July 2011 to January 2012.

Mavericks dismantled by red-hot Badgers in quarterfinals of WCHA Final Five, 7-2

The MSU men’s hockey team came in with a lot energy to the Xcel Energy Center and their first final five appearance in ten

years, but the Mavericks could not keep up with the high-powered Badgers, who were on their way to a WCHA championship.

Mavericks send four to nationals in successful 2013 campaign

It wasn’t the way that head coach Mike Hastings and the Minnesota State University, Mankato men’s hockey team were looking to end their first trip to St. Paul together, but after just 20 minutes had passed in the Mavericks’ quarterfinal matchup with the University of Wisconsin, the end already appeared to be in sight.

“I want to give them credit for their play tonight,” Hast-ings told reporters at a press conference following the loss. “They did a great job coming out and taking advantage of a couple of opportunities and finishing.”

And finish they did.After the dust had settled at

Xcel Energy Center on Thurs-day afternoon, it was the re-surgent Badgers who advanced to face league champion St. Cloud on Friday, following a 7-2 thrashing of the Minne-sota State University, Mankato men’s hockey team.

Junior Tyler Barnes kicked off the scoring just 63 sec-onds into the Mavericks’ first trip to St. Paul since 2003, intercepting an MSU pass at the blueline, before beating

freshman goaltender Stephon Williams on the ensuing breakaway to give the Badgers a quick one-goal lead.

Jefferson Dahl made it 2-0 with a shorthanded tally 5 minutes later, before Nic Kerdiles’ wrist shot went five-hole to give the Badgers a commanding 3-0 lead less than 9 minutes into the first period.

Just like that, the route was on.

Dahl connected on another shorthanded tally midway through the second period to make it 4-0, before a reeling MSU offense finally found a shaky footing.

Zach Palmquist notched his 6th goal of the season midway through the second period, as the sophomore’s powerplay tally found its way past Wis-consin netminder Joel Rumpel at 10:53.

But while Palmquist’s powerplay strike may have stemmed the bleeding, the Mavericks’ woes were far from over.

As the Minnesota State University, Mankato wres-tling team possessed young talent and veterans with postseason experience, the squad finished with a 10-3, 7-1 NSIC record and sent four wrestlers to nationals in their 2012-2013 campaign.

While carrying 10 fresh-men, two redshirt-freshman, four sophomores, four juniors and three seniors, the Maver-icks started their season 2-0 in dual meets over Waldorf College and Newman Uni-

versity before winter break. The squad also had multiple wrestlers claim titles at their four tournaments, including freshman 133-lb Alphonso Vruno going a perfect 4-0 at the Luther College Open back in November.

The Mavericks started their 2013 side of their season going 1-2 at the 2013 NWCA/Cliff Keen National Duals. After dropping their first two duals, the team finished with a 19-18 win over UNC-Pembroke and that escalated in to a seven dual winning streak with wins against 10-4 Upper Iowa, 10-6 Augustana

and 13-6 Southwest Minne-sota State. Compared to last season’s 3-4 conference duals record, going 7-1 in the NSIC was a big turnaround.

“Last year we didn’t have many team wins, so that’s what we really wanted to change this year, and I think we did, going out 7-1 (in the conference),” sophomore 165-lb Cody Quinn said.

Their streak would come to an end when the 21-0 St. Cloud State Huskies defeated the Mavericks 29-6, but that never deterred their goals as a team as they knew the postseason was just around

the corner. Quinn made history this

season, as he became the third Maverick in school his-tory to be given the Gorriaran Award. According to the sports information depart-ment, this award is given to the wrestler who gets the most falls in the shortest cumulative time.

After finishing their regular season with a 24-10 victory over Northern State, the Mavericks made their way to the NCAA Super Regional 3 where they took the bronze with a score of 84.5 points. In their third place finish,

the Mavericks qualified four wrestlers for the national championships (Quinn, Vru-no, David Demo and Aaron Norgren).

Down in Montgomery, Ala. the Mavericks got to bring back two All-Americans en route to the eighth place finish overall. After Vruno’s 3-1 win over Dylan D’urso of Merchurst, the freshman didn’t have everything go his way as he lost to Daniel De-shazer of Nebraska-Kearney 3-2. Vruno would continue on and win four more matches to

parent Dahl goal that was ultimately waved off, as the recently named Rookie of the Year found himself sprawling characteristically on the ice in pursuit of the puck.

This time however, the WCHA Goaltending Cham-pion was slow to get up, giving senior netminder Phil Cook his first piece of action between the pipes since mid-November, after Williams was helped off the ice.

Barnes and the Badgers took advantage of Cook’s mid-season benching at 12:54, pushing their lead to 5-1 with just less than 30 minutes left to play.

Familiar hero Eriah Hayes netted his team-leading 20th goal of the season a few minutes later to make 5-2, but Wisconsin wasn’t done yet.

Junior Frankie Simonelli and sophomore Joeseph La-bate closed out the scoring in the third period, beating Cook with a pair of even-strength goals to give the eventual Broadmoor trophy-winning Badgers a commanding 7-2 win in its most lopsided vic-tory of the season.

The Badgers kicked off their season with a 5-0 blow-out of the US Under-18 Team, before downing future Big Ten rival Penn State 5-2 in late February and pummeling Nebraska, Omaha 6-2 the fol-lowing weekend.

But for a team that has prided itself on an oft-criticized brand of defensive hockey this season, the victory was uncharacteristic at best.

“Well, obviously not the start we wanted,” head coach Mike Hastings told reporters at a press conference fol-lowing the loss. “We wanted to get at least to the second minute.”

“I want to give them credit for their play tonight,” he said. “They did a great job coming out and taking advantage of a couple of opportunities and finishing.”

Finishing may have been a problem for Wisconsin this season, as the Badgers’ 36th-ranked offense averaged just 2.05 goals per game, but for one weekend at least Wiscon-sin’s much-maligned offense found its spark.

The Badgers netted a sea-son high 14 goals during the tournament, their highest over a 3 game span this season, fol-lowing a 4-1 ousting of regular season champion St. Cloud, and a tight 3-2 dismissal of unranked Colorado College in the championship game.

Big Ten-bound Wisconsin’s final bid for the Broadmoor was one of its most success-ful, as tournament MVP Nic Kerdiles’ second pe-riod gamewinner brought the iconic trophy to Madison for the first time since 1998.

take third place and his first All-American title in the 133-lb weight class.

Quinn would follow the same path as his came out on top with a fall at 1:40 against Dext Carter of Quachita Baptist but would lose to Isaiah Jimenez of San Fran-cisco State 4-2. Giving the option to stop, Quinn denied it and went on to win his second All-American honor with third place in the 165 lb weight class.

“As much as I wanted a national title, third place is pretty cool. As far as team points, we were expecting higher than eighth, but that’s a way to turnaround from last year to this year, so we are on the rise,” Quinn said.

Right before head Coach Jim Makovsky watched his team win eighth place at Na-tionals, he was honored in to the NCAA Division II Wres-tling Coaches Association Hall of Fame. To his wrestlers it was a no-brainer, but to be noticed outside the wrestling room was nice for the man with 235 wins at MSU.

“We already knew he was top coach and we see that in practice. For everyone else to recognize it, it’s a pretty neat deal,” Quinn said.

This makes Makovsky the second coach and eighth

Maverick to be inducted in to the hall-of-fame as he pos-sesses a 235-91-3 record here at MSU and has coached 10 national champions and has taken now 85 wrestlers to the NCAA Division II National Championships.

For the no. 10 Mavericks, the four national qualifiers, Quinn, Demo, Norgren and Vruno, were given NSIC All-Conference honors. As Vruno brought home NSIC Rookie of the year, he was awarded second-team All-Conference after a team-leading 37-8 record at the 133-lb weight class.

To go along with the Gorriaran Award, Quinn was named to the first-team All-NSIC team with a 27-8 overall record and 7-1 in the conference.

After missing a year after suffering a knee injury, Nor-gren came back with a ven-geance, earning second-team All-NSIC with a 14-9 record and qualifying for the NCAA Championship in the 184-lb weight class for the fourth time in his career.

With his second-consecu-tive NCAA Championship bid and finishing 24-13 with 7-1 in the NSIC, Demo was given second-team All-NSIC honors in the 125-lb weight class.

if the opportunity came. Minnesota has produced

some hip-hop greats including Atmosphere, Rocky Diamonds, Prof, and other local artists who have swept the nation with their talent.

Among the many, Sweetz expressed great desire to work with Mod Sun, who also started off local but is now doing big things in the industry.

D.G.B. Muzik Ent. is con-tinuing to build a foundation for success with their individual-ized style and powerful sound, incorporating variations of hip-hop. Sweetz’ newest mix-tape is hosted by DJ Capcom, one of the top DJs in the game who has collaborated with DJ Haze, DJ Scream, and many others to create CDs with the likes of Mac Miller, 2 Chainz, and Rocky Diamonds (to name a few).

Performing in Mankato at venues like Red Sky Lounge is the first step to bigger endeav-ors for many artists, and I can see a number of the acts from Friday approaching a come-up. Keep these artists on your radar, folks, because you never know who could be next big thing!

Best of Mankato2013

The MSU Reporter

What makesMankato great?

A compilation of hard-hitting performers made for an energetic show at Red Sky Lounge last Friday for the Spring Fever 2013 Showcase including acts from around the Midwest. The night encom-passed performances by a num-ber of hip-hop and rap artists, including Plastic Bag Boyz, Uneasy, Sushi, D.G.B. Muzik Ent., Hi Capacity, J. Mose, and Solo Star.

Typical to any show, the audience became more hyped as the performances went on. By midnight, the venue was filled with bass, energy, and turned up fans. The highlights of the night were groups D.G.B. Muzik Ent., Sushi, and Plastic Bag Boyz, who had the crowd going crazy.

Among the acts for the night, I had the pleasure of speaking with D.G.B. Muzik Ent., a bold hip-hop group from Minneapo-lis, and Sushi, an independent act who came with his crew from Chicago.

With more than 15,000 fol-lowers on Twitter, Sushi serves as the lead artist in Sushi Gang, a group of five from Chicago who have links to Project Pat, Young LA, and Bricksquad. Although we Minnesotans may not be familiar with Sushi Gang’s music, they are fre-quently played on a number of

radio stations in Chicago and continue their endeavors around the U.S. to showcase their sound and gain supportive fans.

Sushi described his music to be “trap energy,” with different vibes and feelings they portray in various tracks. Sushi contin-ued to explain that the group has music that he considers inspirational. “I’ve got the club music, money talk, and differ-ent music for

different feelings. We’re trying to give them [audience] a better look – we

came from a struggle but we’re doing way better now.”

Curious where the name “Sushi” came from? I was too. They described that the name related to their street his-tory and past, also adding with confidence that “we’re Sushi because our swag is RAW.” Sushi recommends that view-ers check out “Ice Tone Bricks” and “Marley and Mollies,” two bangers which can be found on Youtube.

Performing is an art – every artist and group has their own unique way of portraying their music to fans. Sushi gave me a better look at the feeling of performing to an audience, whether big or small. “The best part of performing is getting the energy from the crowd, we try to interact with the fans,” Sushi described, adding that one of the most rewarding parts of per-forming is seeing total strangers recite the words to their songs

during a performance. Instead of releasing a mix-

tape or album, they’ve consis-tently leaked almost 30 songs and booked shows off singles, taking a different approach to get recognized.

Although fans have been asking for a mixtape for months, they’ve been rais-ing the hype for an upcoming mixtape by performing all over the United States, ranging from St. Louis and Kentucky to Minnesota and all around Chi-cago. “We’re really on the road with this grind. We’ve got A1 music.” Sushi plans to produce a mixtape by June with a top producer in Chicago.

D.G.B. Muzik Ent. was an-other favorite from Friday’s per-formance, a group comprised of blood cousins that hail from the Twin Cities. D.G.B. encom-passes elements of hip-hop into their sound, comparable to Odd Future and the A$AP Mob.

I spoke with Sweetz P., a talented component of D.G.B., who I coincidentally met shortly before D.G.B. performed on Friday night. It was no surprise that Sweetz was faded – uphold-ing an image D.G.B. portrays in their lyrics – but when it was showtime, Sweetz handed me her Patron, went on stage, and killed it. Sweetz is a member of the D.G.B. collective who

has more than 80 thousand Youtube views on her single “Nutzo” with Lil Durk, has been featured on World Star Hip Hop Twice and discussed on Complex magazine’s site and the Fader as well.

Sweetz described D.G.B. as a label, a group structured by art-ists that produce both collective and solo work. Included in the label are stylists and managers who are considered part of the team as well, each part essential to the finished product.

“Our work is a mix of ev-erything. I’m hip-hop but there are so many different elements mixed in my style.”

The family ties that make up D.G.B. Muzik Ent. explain the formation of the name, which Sweetz elaborated on.

“It started as a family thing, we’re blood cousins. Our fam-ily’s last name is Diggins, so ‘Diggins Girls & Boys.’ As we got older, we formed it into something everyone could get into.” D.G.B. now stands for Determined to Get By.

D.G.B. reps the Twin Cities, which for many Minnesota State University, Mankato stu-dents is considered home.

Sweetz P. showed enthusi-asm about the Twin Cities area, the versatility, the culture, and the vast variety of people that make it a staple for local hip-hop. “The Twin Cities match the way my music is, a little bit of everything”.

As a writer for a Twin Cities-based music and culture blog, Be Scene MPLS, I was inclined to get Sweetz P.’s take on the local music scene and asked what Minnesota artist she would collaborate with
