In an old supply closet with the smell of fresh paint hanging in the air, sitting on a squeaky, red leather couch so new the tags were still on, Amanda Toppe explained just how far her program had come since its inception halfway through last semester.

Toppe, coordinator of the Young Student Parent Support Initiative, took the reins of the newly-formed program in mid-March. She is settling in to her sec-WVL�WNÅKM�IVL�PI[�W^MZ[MMV�the transformation of a space which was previously occupied by old electrical supplies into what will be a [XIKM�[XMKQÅKITTa�NWZ�[\]LMV\�parents.

-^MV�_Q\P�\PM�VM_�WNÅKM�and the new social space Toppe has secured for the fall semester she said the biggest success so far has been the response to avail-able scholarships for single mothers.

“One of the biggest suc-cesses we had this summer was the Mary Beth Wedum Single Mothers Scholarship. We had 65 applications that came in for that scholar-ship,” Toppe said. “It really show the need for support that parents, in general, need.”

SCSU received $187,283 from the J.A. Wedum Foundation to fund scholarships through the Mary Beth Wedum Single Mother Scholarship Fund.

SCSU graduate Jay Portz, the foundation’s president, presented the check to President Earl H. Potter on Monday, Aug. 6.

“Mary Beth Wedum is an SCSU alumnus and was a single mother while attending college. She knew ÅZ[\�PIVL�\PM�KPITTMVOM[�that students face while try-ing to improve their lives,” Portz said. “The Wedum foundation’s mission is to change and improve people’s lives through the stewardship and generosity which is the reason that we strongly believe in provid-ing scholarships for SCSU students.”

Toppe said she was intimately involved in the process of deciding who would ultimately receive the scholarships.

“I was on the commit-tee to help go through all the applications. We had a process in what we were looking for. We decided how many we wanted to give out of the 65 appli-cants,” she said.

The Atwood Mall will once again buzz with life as students are welcomed back to SCSU through Mainstreet 2012.

On Sept. 5, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., the space just outside of Atwood will be occupied by numerous booths set up by different student organizations. The event gives students a chance to check out the more than 200 student organi-zations on campus. Mainstreet also showcases student and academic support departments, and various volunteer opportunities through non-XZWÅ\�WZOIVQbI\QWV[�

The former president of Student Government has moved on to lobbying at the federal level on many key issues.

Amanda Bardonner began lobbying for bet-ter textbooks early in her higher education career.

Bardonner was in Student Government for three years. In 2010 she was elected president.

During her time as a [\]LMV\�MTMK\ML�WNÅKQIT��[PM�passed legislation on the ISELF construction project. She also saw legislation pass for updates to the National Hockey Center.

When the football program was in jeopardy, Bardonner lobbied to com-munity members to keep the program.

“It was an experience,” Bardonner said. “It was intimidating to stand up in front of 300 angry commu-nity members saying ‘Save our football program’ and help them settle down and rationalize the situation.”

After serving on Student Government for three years, she moved on to lobby for the Minnesota State Uni-versity Student Association.

Her stay in MSUSA would take her to Washing-ton, D.C. She lobbied for easier and better access to the Pell Grant, a student grant given to many. With Representative John Kline from Minnesota’s Second District, she pushed for better and more accessible grants for students.

Bardonner said that lobbying is an “odd” experi-MVKM�_PMV�[PM�ÅZ[\�[\IZ\ML�and it was something she

The theme of self-exam-ination is woven throughout the events of the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning’s (CETL) yearly Fall Convocation.

“Holding Up the Mir-ror” will be the theme for this year’s abbreviated fall sessions and year-long train-ing required of faculty and staff at SCSU.

“The idea is engage-ment in teaching and learning for students, faculty, staff, administra-tors, everybody,” said Lalita Subrahmanyan, director of CETL. “At the launch, we IZM�OWQVO�\W�ÅZ[\�PWTL�\PM�mirror to ourselves.”

The Fall Convocation sessions have been shrinking in number for the last few years. This year, apart from new faculty training days, there are only two days of meetings as opposed to the \PZMM��NW]Z�WZ�Å^M�WN �\PM�past.

“We wanted to do things throughout the year,” Sub-rahmanyan said. “Instead of keeping them [the train-ing sessions] all up front, we moved them into [January,]

April and October.”The ultimate goal of

CETL is to get faculty and students more engaged in teaching and learning. Moving the sessions to later in the year is a process that has been gradually put in motion over the last two years.

The Fall Convoca-tion began as always with the President’s address on Wednesday. In addition to the president, the provost, union representatives and Student Government President Jarrod Wiggins all spoke to the group of faculty and staff that nearly ÅTTML�\PM�OZW]VL�ÆWWZ�WN �Ritsche Auditorium.

The provost spoke about improving the uni-versity through initiatives emphasizing undergraduate student success, improve-ment of transfer student recruitment and a quality initiative required by the Higher Learning Council for accreditation.

Provost Devinder Mal-hotra also said he’d make a slight change to the last two years’ address theme, which was “Reimagine SCSU.”

“If I had to pick a theme for the next two

years, it wouldn’t be very different,” Malhotra said. “It would be to reimagine the SCSU student experi-ence.”

According to Malhotra’s address, SCSU has a repu-tation for being one of the ¹UW[\�LQNÅK]T\�NW]Z�aMIZ�schools to work with.”

After Malhotra left the stage, Wiggins took over with a speech imploring

faculty to connect with and challenge students.

“I challenge you all to not only provide me the best education possible, but provide me with a well-rounded education,” Wig-gins said. “Make me use my hands to learn. Make me volunteer in my com-

President Potter is a husky, and I know it. It might seem like a bit of an odd statement, but that is what is sung in the “Husky and I Know It” music video that is slated to be released at St. Cloud State’s Welcome Ceremony this fall.

“Husky and I Know It” is a parody of the infectious LMFAO song “Sexy and I Know It” featur-ing students, the SCSU mascot, Blizzard, and the president of the university. The parody goes virtu-ally shot for shot to the original version, with students dressed up in garb that looks like it belongs in a 1980s aerobics class.

“We wanted to create a fun video for students that would hopefully go viral,” said Derrick Silvestri, head of the entire proj-ect. “It wasn’t done to increase enrollment as much as it was to increase school spirit for current students,” he said.

However, increasing stalled enrollment wasn’t completely out of the equation.

“Wisconsin University made a ‘Teach Me How To Bucky’ video that gave them great publicity and increased their enrollment,” said Tyla Hughes, a senior who helped with the project.

Carrying out the video project was a bit of a process. The idea originated from Zach Norton, Student Government member, during the spring semester. Lyrics were written that needed some

tweaking and then the project was sent over to KVSC.

“KVSC created the mix and then sent it back to me,” Silves-tri said. “The hardest part was getting people together to shoot the thing. There was no way we could shoot it while school was in session because that would be too KPIW\QK��?M�_IV\ML�Q\�ÅVQ[PML�Ja�June but it kept getting pushed

back because it was hard to get people to commit over summer session,” he continued.

There were approximately 25 student volunteers and a large portion of them were from UTVS.

The video was shot on Aug. 13 and took seven hours to get all the footage.

“It was shot throughout

campus,” Hughes said. “It didn’t cost much either because a lot of the equipment was donated. The gym equipment was given to us by people at Hallenbeck Hall.”

;QT^M[\ZQ�ÅVQ[PML�MLQ\QVO�\PM�video the day after shooting. The only thing left is to show it to the public. “I have really high hopes for it,” he said, “It was done really well.”

The video will premiere in the Nation Hockey & Event Center on Saturday, Aug. 25 at 9 p.m. as part of St. Cloud State’s Welcome Weekend. It will also appear on SCSU’s YouTube page at the same time. To view it online, go to www.youtube.com/stcloudstate-husky on Aug. 25.

The public is invited to the groundbreaking ceremo-ny of the newest addition to trails in the area; the Dairy-land Trail.

The event will be held on Aug. 28 at 3 p.m. at the JI[MJITT�ÅMTL�XIZSQVO�TW\�QV�Elrosa, and will mark the beginning of construction on the trail.

Construction will begin with Phase One, which comprises development from Elrosa to Greenwald.

Formerly the Soo Line Trail Corridor, the Dairy-land Trail will “ultimately run through western Stearns county from Albany to Broo-ten,” according to the Stearns County website.

The trail will eventually be 26 miles long and connect with the Lake Wobegon Trail in Albany. It will also feature an aggregate limestone surface, which will make it \PM�ÅZ[\�\ZIQT�\W�IKKWUUWLI\M�horseback riding in Stearns County.

The Dairyland trail will also be open to snowmobilers in the winter, linking to the state of Minnesota’s grant-in-aid snowmobile trail system.

The decision to create the

trail was made after a 2007 County Parks survey, which indicated there was inter-est in a trail from Albany to Brooten.

Phase one of construction

is expected to be completed by spring of 2013. At that time, that portion of the trail is expected to be open for public use.

had to ease in to.“I’ve gotten more com-

fortable with [lobbying],” Bardonner said. “It’s never easy standing in front of people to try to convince them your cause is worth funding.”

,M[XQ\M�ÅOP\QVO�VMZ^M[�on the podium, lobbying is something Bardonner wants to continue in the future.

Former Student Govern-ment senator Zach Norton said she was always a plea-sure to work with.

“She is incredibly pas-sionate about higher educa-tion,” Norton said. “She lobbies because she believes in those causes.”

Matt Trombley, assistant director of Atwood, also recognizes her hard-working attitude and passion.

“I have appreciated Amanda’s commitment to the position. Whether it is an early morning meeting or a weekend event, Amanda has represented Student Government and St. Cloud

State University whenever and wherever she has been needed,” Trombley said. “I’ve been impressed by her ability to handle her full-time course work while serving in this role.”

Bardonner was the recipient for the Newman Civic Award. This award is presented to those students who have displayed an active and positive role in commu-nication and business in the community.

“I was honored just to have been nominated,” Bar-donner said.

Though lobbying has exciting for Bardonner, she says it is not what she plans to do as a career.

Bardonner is involved with several different proj-ects. She regularly writes ar-ticles in Campus Magazine. She favors writing about higher education and the importance of public univer-sities. She was also on CNN discussing higher education costs with Don Lemon.

Bardonner will graduate with a degree in interna-tional business and hopes to continue her work with higher education standards.

those women have come really far so you want to reward everybody for where they’re at and encourage them to continue,” she said.

The response to the scholarships, more than anything, drives home the need for student-parent support on campus, she said.

Initially there were to be up to 20 scholarships of $2,000 awarded Toppe said with the surprising response the committee in charge of awarding the scholarships proposed a new number to the foundation. She said they are waiting to hear if that number has been ap-proved and those receiving scholarships should be noti-ÅML�TI\MZ�\PQ[�_MMS�

Single mothers, how-ever, weren’t the only ones interesting in the scholar-ships.

”I had six or seven emails from single dads regarding [the scholarship] in which they were very frustrated and upset, kind of a ‘hey, what about us’ kind of thing,” Toppe said.

Feedback of this sort really helps Toppe prepare for the future and see where the need is, she said. A re-framing of the scholarships might be in order, she said, because single dads should be included as well.

Interest in the program has continued to grow, Toppe said, citing double the number of parents in attendance at her latest sup-port group.

“We had the last sup-port group of the summer today and we had double the turnout we have had all summer,” she said. Six were in attendance and \PZMM�_MZM�\PMZM�NWZ�\PM�ÅZ[\�time.

Toppe expects more involvement once the fall semester starts and the word begins to spread.

?Q\P�VM_�WNÅKM�IVL�social space now available Toppe said she feels she is ready.

“I feel so much more excited about it because the way it came together and the guys who worked on it. They knew I had my heart in it, so I think they put their heart in it, too,” she said.

Having a space for student-parents to go is imperative, Toppe said.

She said she is planning an open house for Sept. 17 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for anyone to come in and see what they are doing.

While Toppe said she has an idea for where she would like to take the pro-gram, she is always open to new ideas and ever-evolving is probably the best way to

describe the process at this point.

“I’m really open at this point,” she said. “I’m al-ways looking for new ideas. We can only do as much as the student parents let us know that they need.”

Staff Report

Tobacco-free SCSU has been in full swing for three weeks and the university is preparing for incoming students.

In order to make sure that students will be keeping SCSU smoke-free, several departments have setup training meetings. Students and faculty are all welcome to attend all meetings.

Attendees will be shown how to approach a person that is violating the rule and what to do if that person becomes aggressive.

Another reason for the meetings is to spread aware-ness about the new rule, as many returning students may not be aware it has gone into effect.

The policy itself is also brought up to discuss that it is important to keep a safe, clean and healthy environ-ment on campus.

Banning tobacco is only one part of the new policy. Prevention is also at the forefront. SCSU has provided many resources for tobacco users that seek to quit.

There are individual plans, group plans, phone and online plans to help people quit tobacco. Quitplan.com is a helpful resource for those who seek help online. There is also the over-the-counter nicotine patch to help curb urges.

Reporting “hot spots” where people often smoke was also part of the training.

The new policy, which came into effect Aug. 1, bans tobacco from the SCSU campus. Exceptions were made for personal motor vehicles, theatrical XMZNWZUIVKM[�IVL�[KQMV\QÅK�research.

Each department will have their own training session. Though several have already occurred, there will be more in the com-ing weeks and students are encouraged to attend.

to distinctly designate where smoking will not be

allowed.

this theme in his speech.The three goals outlined

by MnSCU chairman Steven Rosenstone are offering our students an extraordinary educa-tion, being the partner of choice for Minnesota’s employers and maintaining access, affordability and opportunity for all students, as cited in Potter’s speech.

The president added a fourth, “the development of a culture that is characterized by IV�IJQTQ\a�\W�LMIT�_Q\P�LQNÅK]T\�issues with respect and in an atmosphere of civility.

Potter went on to say that

students often lead the way in civil discussion, and that the fac-ulty and staff community could use improvement when it comes to being leaders in modeling productive discussion.

“In truth, it is often true that we have not been,” Potter said.

After last year’s upsets over tobacco policy changes, the dis-missal of Mahmoud Saffari, the closing of academic programs and the restructuring process, the topic of productive discus-sion isn’t a surprising one.

“Only in a university that allows itself to be subject to the principles of civil and informed discourse can our mission be achieved,” Potter said.

Last week as I returned home from a long day at work, a Jeep full of young men drove toward me.

I stood in the yard of my home as the men yelled to me from their car.

It was the typical “Hey, baby,” “want some of this?” and “looking good” to which many of us women are unfortunately accustomed.

You might sugarcoat it by calling it “cat-calling.”

Prepare to have your bubble burst: it’s called street harassment, and more people are guilty of it than you think.

I can’t go for a jog without get-ting hailed, harassed, followed or some combination of the three.

Why, in 2012, are people still perpetrating this on their fellow community members?

Did these men not have positive role models in their lives to teach them that harassment is unaccept-able?

Before you even say it, no, it is not a compliment. A compliment is a caring expression from one person to another that lets them know that they are valuable.

Street harassment is degrading, objectifying, humiliating and down-right scary.

Still more people seem to think it’s just “not that big a deal.” I hear this response from both genders and sexes, but allow me to address those

males who hold this view.First, imagine it happening to

your mother. Your sister. Your best friend. Your girlfriend.

Does that seem like a big deal? Now imagine it happening to you. The gender and sex of the harasser is immaterial, but let’s say it’s a man.

Does that feel like a compliment?What’s more, as a helpful

infographic demonstrates, making street harassment okay means that, eventually, public groping, and self-exposure are okay. Once those are okay, sexual assault is really just a stone’s throw away.

The slippery slope goes from objectifying, to degrading, to as-saulting.

If we act like the top of the slope is no big deal, soon the middle won’t be, and soon none of it will be.

So ask yourself, the next time you are about to call out or whistle

at a person on the street: are you okay with the precedent that sets?

If you harass people on the street you are a bully, plain and simple. Giving unwanted attention in the forms of whistles, horn-honks, cat-calls or anything else is never the fault of the person you’re harassing.

You know it, you always have: it’s wrong.

If you want to do yourself, the community, humankind and the world a favor, call someone on street harassment.

Send the message that, to you and to the place you live, harassing people is never okay, and needs to stop before it gets worse.

You’ll make the right kind of friends, and hopefully be happy in the knowledge that you’re part of change for the better.

I know, it is welcome week-end and you think it will be long JMNWZM�aW]¼TT�[Q\�NWZ�aW]Z�ÅZ[\�\M[\�this semester. Well, trust me, that \QUM�ÆQM[�IVL�JMNWZM�aW]�SVW_�Q\��you’re already looking for Hallow-een costumes.

Whether or not you are new to campus, you must have some experience in test-taking, and the NWTTW_QVO�[\I\MUMV\�Q[�LMÅVQ\MTa�no stranger to all of us: exams are around the corner, so please buckle down and study hard!

David Jaffee, professor of sociology at University of North Florida, expressed his concerns recently on The Chronicle of Higher Education about the prob-

lems with college faculty encour-aging students to merely “study for exams.”

Before going further, one needs to understand a keyword that Jaffee emphasized in his ar-ticle - instrumentalism. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, in-strumentalism -- or experimental-ism -- is “a philosophy advanced by the American philosopher John Dewey holding that what is most important in a thing or idea is its value as an instrument of action and that the truth of an idea lies in its usefulness.”

In other words, ideas are es-sentially the tools or instruments of action. Jaffee puts it this way: the perception of many students going to college today is that they will simply earn a decent looking degree that will help them to land a good job and then lead a happy life.

He disagrees with such an atti-tude. Jaffee believes that education has a larger purpose of learning and development. Students who simply “study for exams” will be deprived as the value for learning

becomes dubious under this “dys-functional” teaching philosophy.

Now, as a fresh graduate, here is my take on Jaffee’s conception.

Learning to learn I agree with Jaffee that faculty members should encourage stu-dents to study for the purpose of advancement in skills and knowl-edge, rather than to “know” the material so they can measure their understanding by letter-grades. Instead of cramming notes and [\]La�O]QLM[�L]ZQVO�ÅVIT�MÌU[��students should strive to under-stand the material in order to be able to apply it in future settings. In a previous article, I expressed my sentiment on the purpose of education, which may be summed into three words: learn to learn. Faculty members and course in-structors will not be around their students all the time to provide guidance once their students grad-uate from college. What professors ought to do is to instill the spirit of learning in every student, so TI\MZ�QV�TQNM�\PMa�KIV�¹ÅVL�\PM�Å[P�on their own,” rather than having \PM�XZWNM[[WZ[�¹XZW^QLM�\PM�Å[Pº�

all the time (and panic when the [\]LMV\[�IZM�P]VOZa�NWZ�Å[P��

It takes two to tangoBoth the instructors and the students need to play a fair share of the game to achieve an optimal learning environment. It’s no use if the professors are die-hard in offering formative assessment if the students remain as realists in their acquisition of knowledge. ;\]LMV\[�[PW]TL�ÅZ[\�JM�M`XW[ML�to the shortcomings of existing system, then, they should be of-fered a reformed approach to the assessment of learning outcomes. Though the key players are the professors, the way students receive this new approach deter-mines its entire functionality.

PragmatismOn the one hand, I believe that education should focus largely on the true development of the students. On the other hand, it is realistic to say that the world is “down-to-earth”, whether or not we like it to be. As I adapted to the LMUIVLQVO�ÅVIT�MÌU[�L]ZQVO�Ua�college years, I picked up certain skills that come from cramming of study notes and “studying for

exams” -- I have learned to enlist IVL�ÅT\MZ�QVNWZUI\QWV�LW_V�\W��the most important bits; I have learned to ask the right questions regarding the instructions for my assignments; and most substantial of all, I have learned to prioritize. After some months of work in Ua�K]ZZMV\�KWUXIVa��1�ÅVL�\PI\�the actual knowledge or skills essential to my job come second to the mentioned aptitude that allows me to survive on a tightly-run ship. Many businesses stress practicality when it comes to work productivity. Pragmatism gives priority to actions over doctrine, the Encyclopedia Britannica states. This explains why the commercial world is commonly known as the “real” world.

Yet, I believe in a revolution for the real-world. Like Jaffee says, “it’s not too late to kill [the stigma].” If we are able to instill an educational sense in all colleges adopting a reformed approach in student assessment -- doing it in a way that still gives room for [\]LMV\[�\W�LM^MTWX�[WUM�WNÅKM�survival skills -- we are well on the way toward a better, well-rounded learning experience for the stu-dents.

A mixture of two different art forms was concocted at the Art Off Friday.

The Art Off took place at 8 p.m. outside the Falcon National Bank downtown.

The event was a combina-tion of live hip-hop music and visual artists performing and creating simultaneously.

“It was a really great op-portunity for various artists to get together to see each other’s work and for people to see work being made; and also to see hip-hop music performed,” said Heidi Steadman, ex-ecutive director of Visual Arts Minnesota, and a participating artist in the event.

Steadman and Shawn Kroll, a member of the local band Modern Condition, were in partnership in the planning and organizing of the event, having done major planning

just weeks before the event took place.

“We had talked about this idea many years back and ÅVITTa�PIL�IV�WXXWZ\]VQ\a�º�Steadman said.

The Art Off was a seg-ment of the Sizzlin’ Summer Art Crawl in downtown St. Cloud.

Presented by Visual Arts Minnesota, the Art Off was included in the grant given to the Art Crawl from the Cen-tral Minnesota Arts board.

When the music began, the artists gathered materials and began to create while the performance went on.

The Art Off expanded the area of the Art crawl this sum-mer, going across 10th Ave. to the bank area of downtown.

“It only makes sense to try to get more people down just across the street to visit the banks and to have a bigger space,” said Colin Jerrell, a member of Visual Arts Min-

nesota and a visual artist at the event.

Within the bank, there was wine tasting and light refresh-ments.

Audience members of all ages gathered for the event.

“I think it’s the reality that everything is market-driven. I think it’s good that we were able to bring in something a little bit edgier at the end of the night,” Steadman said.

The event consisted of several musical artists includ-ing Pop Vultures and Modern Condition, as well as eight visual artists.

While the music was performed on stage, the eight visual artists were positioned on the ground below, facing away from the audience so their work would be on display as it was created.

From abstract paintings to highly detailed landscape scenes, a variety of art was cre-ated to hip-hop music.

“Every painting that I do, I do to music,” said Trista Kolle, a visual artist at the event.

Each song had its own rhythm, pace, and style, mak-ing it interesting to watch the visual artists adjust their techniques.

“The way I paint is fast and quick and thrown,” Jerrell said.

Fire dancers were also part WN �\PM�[PW_��XMZNWZUQVO�ÅZM�MI\QVO�IVL�ÆIUQVO�P]TI�PWWX�routines.

There was an optional auction for the pieces created during the performance that continued into the second half of the Art Crawl on Saturday.

The Art Off was a good, solid end to a night full of art and music. The edgy styles of both the visual and perform-QVO�IZ\Q[\[��I[�_MTT�I[�\PM�ÅZM�performers, added even more culture to this August’s Art Crawl.

For anyone that can’t get enough international espionage, chase scenes, and close-quarters combat, the Bourne Legacy delivers on all accounts.

Those who saw the previous Bourne movies will quickly notice that the main character isn’t played by Matt Damon, the star of the previous series.

I was a little worried when I entered \PM�\PMI\MZ�\PI\�\PM�UISMZ[�WN �\PQ[�ÅTU�had attempted to swap actors and retain the Jason Bourne persona. Fortunately, this is not the case. Jeremy Renner plays Aaron Cross, a highly trained special ops soldier that has received training similar to Bourne.

Cross is involved in Operation Outcome, a Department of Defense program that gives its operatives pills to dramatically improve their physical and mental abilities.

Due to the exposing of the top secret Treadstone Project (a reference to the previous movies), the overseer of Opera-tion Outcome (Edward Norton) decides to eliminate all operatives from Opera-tion Outcome. The plot of the movie consists of Cross going off the grid to avoid being terminated as well his hunt-

ing for some more pills.If you’ve seen any of the previous

installments in the series, this is nothing knew. It is a high tech, high adrenaline, high vocabulary mouse chase that moves at breakneck speed.

After character introductions are made, scenes alternate between Cross pulling off fantastic stunts, and a team of CIA watchdogs attempting to follow his trail.

There were a few moments where all I could do was attempt to get the gist of what was going on because the conver-sation moved at such a fast speed with so much jargon that only Tom Clancy could understand it word for word.

That being said, I never felt too lost QV�\PM�XTW\�[W�1�OQ^M�\PM�ÅTU�KZMLQ\�NWZ�that. The ending is also quite abrupt. There is no real signal of it coming besides a change in the symphony score after the longest and most intense action sequence.

Jeremy Renner does well with Cross’s character. Cross is a bit more rough and tough than his Bourne counterpart. Bourne is a sophisticated combat genius sort of character while Cross is more of the Midwest boy that SVW_[�PQ[�_Ia�IZW]VL�I�ZQÆM�IVL�Q[�IX\�to wrestle a variety of beasts, both in-

ternal and external. His scenes with the other operative in the mountains involve little conversation, but I found them to be the highest quality in terms of actual acting.

The bottom line is that you get what you expect with “The Bourne Legacy”. It builds tension well with its mouse chase plot line, and I found myself wondering at multiple junctions how Cross is going to get out of the next unfavorable situation. If you saw the other Bourne movies and enjoyed them, 1¼L�[Ia�aW]�[PW]TL�LMÅVQ\MTa�[MM�\PQ[�WVM��even if you’re hesitant about the switch from Matt Damon to Jeremy Renner. “Legacy” won’t bring any revolutionary KPIVOM[�\W�\PM�[MZQM[��J]\�Q\�_QTT�N]TÅTT�aW]Z�Å`�QN �aW]¼^M�JMMV�PW]VLQVO�NWZ�IVW\PMZ�*W]ZVM�UW^QM�W^MZ�\PM�TI[\�Å^M�years.

If you haven’t seen the previous movies, this is a good pick if you’re wanting to see some action, but want higher quality acting than The Expend-ables 2.

The Husky stadium is looking as sharp as ever.An abundance of excited and energetic football players

began closing in on two-a-day practices, preparing for the 2012-13 season.

Players, along with coaches, are hopeful of making the playoffs again this year.

?Q\P�\PMQZ�ÅZ[\�PWUM�OIUM�R][\�IZW]VL�\PM�KWZVMZ��players are already thinking about what they would like to accomplish.

Jeff Bias, a sophomore defensive end, is one of those players who has high standards for his team.

“I want to see improvement, especially on our defensive end,” he said.

Bias sets the bar even higher for himself.“I want to lead the team in tackles,” he said.<PQ[�[MI[WV�Q[�TWWSQVO�R][\�I[�JZQOP\�I[�\PM�TI[\�WVM�

“I want to make it into the playoffs again,” Bias said.“I want to see improvements all around and I want us

to play more of a high-level, physical and intense game,” he said.

Scott Underwood, head Husky football coach, is also expecting a lot from his team this year.

“Game-by-game improvement is huge. Each outing has to be better than the last one,” he said.

With some new players, and some returning all-confer-ence ones, Underwood wants everyone to do their part to get a lot of W’s this season.

“We need to see big things from our quarterbacks, as well as from our offensive and defensive lines,” he said.

Underwood wants fans to do their part, too.<PM�0][SQM[�ÅZ[\�OIUM�Q[�)]O��\P��IOIQV[\�\PM�=VQ-
