Thumbing through the paper archives of the University Chronicle, it’s clear that a lot has changed since 1988.

Cartoons were edgier, hairstyles were fluffier and Michael Vadnie was the new adviser on the block.

In one of his early columns, Vadnie praised the outoing adviser, J. Brent Norlem.

He went on to talk about the ethics of journalism.

He channeled Tom Sawyer as he writes, “‘I’m afear’d’ I’ve got bad news. I’ve got lots of questions about ethics. Not many answers.

The crowd was shy, the coffee-makers loud, but despite the distractions Indie rock musicians played on in the corner of Atwood’s Caribou Coffee.

Last Wednesday marked the final Coffee Break performances of the semester, led by Wisconsin local artists The Way She and Darrian Kaye.

Sponsored by the University Program Board Live Music Committee, Coffee Break is a free program which brings in local artists to play music for Caribou Coffee visitors in the afternoon. To learn more, visit UPB’s website at http://www.stcloudstate.edu/campusinvolvement/upb/.

Music media websites are beginning to catch fire with stories declaring the return of vinyl records.

With the rumors from music industry insiders saying since 2011 that major labels are going to abandon the use of the compact disc to make way for digital-only sales, coupled with the fact that music sections in corporate stores are in fact shrinking the size of their physical music stock; the real question being asked is whether vinyl is here to stay, or just another nostalgia explosion like that of all things 1980s in the last five years.

The last major music event of the semester took place on Saturday night as Forever The Sickest Kids and Cute Is What We Aim For took to the stage in the Atwood Ballroom for a night of poppy riffs and onstage banter.

“We like to play college shows as much as we can,” said Jonathan Cook, the lead singer of Forever The Sickest Kids. “It’s a good change of scenery. We get to see a lot of cool campuses and meet a lot of cool people. Last weekend played at a college in Illinois. We met a lot of the students and played basketball.”

Small crowds made their way to Atwood on Thursday, both to watch the Huskies in the Frozen Four and to see The Picture Perfect and The Roll Call play in the final installment of this semester’s live music series in the Quarry.

There was a concern that the live music show would have to be cancelled due to the blizzard that made its way through St. Cloud, but after the snow began to slow it was decided the show would go on.

Korean Pop Music, or K-Pop, as it is commonly called, has become reasonably popular here in America, mostly thanks to the viral hit “Gangnam Style” by PSY.

SCSU had their first K-Pop Dance Party in the Quarry of Atwood, which turned out to be a huge hit. The event was sponsored by USP and was organized by Alexa Hope and Caitlin Murphy of the Tumblr site Harsh K-Pop Truths.

The Quarry was made up like an everyday dance club, with balloons and strobe lights. It was like walking into any other downtown rave club.

April is sexual assault awareness month across the nation, and SCSU was getting the word out with a series of films, as well as a bake sale, on April 9.

The first of the films was called “Flirting with Danger”, and was shown in the Miller Center on Monday night. The film involves Professor Lynn Phillips of the University of Massachusetts and her interviewing of 30 girls who have been involved sexually with men.

A disappointing ending to the season would only be putting it mildly for the SCSU Huskies.

A disappointing ending to a pair of great collegiate careers would help sum it up.

However, the end to SCSU’s season did write school history.

The Quinnipiac Bobcats scored quickly, didn’t look back from there and cruised past the Huskies 4-1 in the second Frozen Four semifinal and into the championship game against ECAC conference rival Yale.
