On Saturday and Sunday, theMinot State University CampusPlayers will present “The BestChristmas Pageant Ever” inAleshire Theater. The play beginsat 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 7, and 2 and7:30 p.m. Dec. 8.

MSU senior Grant Johnsondirects the play; BrittanyArmstrong, a senior double-majoring in theater and market-ing, is the stage manager.Armstrong said it is an unusuallylarge cast with 19 students andone staff member on stage for theproduction.

“It’s about a group of rowdykids, the Herdmans,” she said.“They want to be in the Christmas

pageant, because they want freecandy and hot chocolate. TheHerdmans have never been tochurch before, and when all six ofthem suddenly sign up to be in thepageant, the results are chaotic,”Armstrong said.

Before the Minot State run, thecast will tour the Minot area onDec. 6 and 7, performing at Minotnursing homes and elementaryschools.

“It’s a fast-paced show,”Armstrong said. “It’s very mini-malistic. Since the play will be per-formed in a number of locations, itreally relies on the actors to makeit more ‘real’.”

The Minot State UniversityBroadcasting Department raised morethan $14,000 at the 14th Annual KMSUAuction. Organizers sent 90 percent ofit straight into the program and theother 10 percent to the Roosevelt ParkDistrict.

“This year’s auction turned out bet-ter than I expected,” auction coordina-tor Janna McKechnie said. “We had asmaller class and just didn’t have themanpower that we have had in yearspast.”

The KMSU Auction is a QVC-typelive auction put on by the broadcastingdepartment. It airs on Channel 19, thelocal access channel.

The auction is part of a requiredclass for broadcasting majors at Minot

State. Candace Brekke and McKechnietaught the class this year. StudentsChris Price, Aaron Larson, JamieCouncil, Isreal Edos, Clay Kallias andZac DeMers are the only studentsenrolled in the class.

The class split into promotion andproduction groups, with all the stu-dents in charge of getting donations.

“These students went to work andmade it as successful as any year wehave had,” McKechnie said. “Theyreally did a wonderful job, and I am soproud of them.”

Participants donated more than$30,000 worth of goods and services,which the students split up into about60 total packages. While only six stu-dents prepared the auction, around 50broadcasting students lent a helping

M-Life events are a great wayto spend an evening on campus.They provide students with afun and engaging social atmos-phere at Minot State University.

Aaron Hughes, student activ-ities coordinator, explained theschedule.

“We typically hold events onMondays and Wednesday,” shesaid, “but recently we’ve beentrying a few other days, too, justto see if more students can come,Tuesdays and Thursdays are ourother big days for activities, andthen usually we’ll do every oncein a while an MSU After Darkevent on a Friday night as well.”

MSU After Dark events havebecome a popular alternativehere on campus to the partyscene. The events vary fromweek to week.

“One good reason to come tothe events is we give away a lotof free stuff,” Hughes said. “Ongrocery bingo night students

walk away with a free bag ofgroceries; on tie-the-blanketnight, students leave with a newfleece tie blanket. It is free enter-tainment for students and it isright here on campus. They canjust walk over to the event fromtheir residence halls and enjoy.

“Events are held on campusat various sites. Usually theevents are in the Beaver Dambut, if we’re expecting a reallybig crowd, we’ll sometimes tryto book Ann Nicole Nelson Hallor Aleshire Theater, and we haveused the conference center for afew events, as well, just becauseof double booking recently,”Huges said.

All M-Life events are free toMinot State University studentswho have a valid student ID.

“We do have some eventsthat are open to the community.When we have a dance we doallow people from the commu-nity to come as guests of anMSU student for $5,” Hughes

The Barnes & Noble Bookstorefeatures textbook rentals for halfthe price of purchasing a textbook.

“Books might be unable for the

book buy back program when anewer edition comes out; withrenting, you are guaranteed to getrid of it,” store manager GeriKuna explained.

Textbooks can be shippeddirectly to your home or pickedup in-store. Students may usefinancial aid for both renting andpurchasing textbooks. Twelve per-cent of every sale goes directlyback to Minot State.

Students may see reducedstore hours over the semesterbreak, but days open will stillinclude every Monday throughFriday, excluding holidays.

Several MSU students work atthe Barnes & Noble Bookstore.Kuna notes that many of them arefinance majors, but they comefrom all majors. She said workingat the bookstore is a great way toearn extra cash, and it is only ashort walk from class. Employeebenefits include employee dis-counts on all merchandise, andthe Bestseller Program, which is amanagement-training programaimed at lower classmen, guaran-teeing a management positionwithin Barnes & Noble after grad-uation.

The money raised for thedepartment goes toward new

“It is so rewarding to think thatwe raised $14,000!” McKechniesaid. “And because of our hard

Probe Mystery of Venus Fly Trap"by Thomas Sumner, Venus FlyTrap plants evolved to eat fliesbecause they grow in areas wherenitrogen and phosphorous are inlow supply in the soil.Interestingly, the plant hasevolved to eat insects to fulfill itsneeds and survive, feeding oninsects to compensate for lack ofnutrients.

The fact that the Venus Fly Trapingests insects is a very famousfact, but for a long time, not a lot

was known about how the plantdid this. In the article from the FoxNews website, it is explained thatthe Venus Fly Trap's insect-eatingcapability derives from a complexsystem of hairs, growths andenzymes. Apparently, the insect istrapped by the plant via sensitivetriggers on the plant that cansense the insect. This process isstill not fully understood, though,and scientists are still working onit at the cellular level. I am not ascientist myself, so my under-

standing of biology is not that in-depth, but I do find the Venus FlyTrap to be very interesting, espe-cially how it came to be evolved toeat insects because of the lack ofnutrients in the soil.

Recently in my environmentalscience class, we learned abouthow there is a developing short-age of plant fertilizers. Also, soilerosion and soil-nutrient deple-tion are now a concern. I knowthis probably won't happen, but

On MoviesʻBond, James Bondʼ

by Alex NelsonStaff Writer

.James Bond has been aroundfor 50 years now. Four years afterthe “Quantum of Solace,” Bond isback and better than ever.

“Skyfall” stars Daniel Craig,Javier Bardem, Naomie Harris,Berenice Lim Marlohe, BenWhishaw, Dame Judi Dench,Helen McCrory, Ola Rapace,Ralph Fiennes and Rory Kinnear.It is directed by Sam Mendes andrated PG-13 for intense violentsequences, some sexuality andlanguage.

The film starts as James Bondaka 007 (Craig) is chasing a manwho has vital information. In the

process, a fellow MI6 agent acci-dently shoots him. The entire MI6,including the leader known onlyas M (Dench), believes that he isdead.

Later, MI6 is attacked by anunknown source. Bond, pretend-ing to be dead, decides to comeout of the shadows and try to findwhoever is responsible. Along theway, he will have help from fellowMI6 operative Eve (Harris), com-puter expert Q (Whishaw) andSeverine (Marlohe) who formerlyworked for her employer and nowwants a clean break.

While Bond goes deeper intothe situation, he will learn that aterrifying cyber terrorist namedonly Silva (Bardem) has deadlyconnections to M and MI6.

While I have not seen many 007movies, I will say that I did enjoy

this. While I think that SeanConnery is still the best JamesBond out there, there is no doubtthat Daniel Craig definitely fits thepart. In this film, he shows usmore of a human side to Bond,who questions his own loyaltyand abilities.

Dench’s M portrayal, I think,was astounding. There were partsin the film I despised what shedoes and other times I understandit. I think that basically she has tomake the decisions that no oneelse wants to make.

Some people might complainthat there is not a “Bond Girl” inthis film. Personally, I saw 007make a move towards Eve andSeverine that reminded me of hisplayboy attitude from the previ-ous films. At the same time, this isa prequel to the whole series, so it

could be just him starting to lookfor a girl. (I have not seen“Quantum of Solace,” so he mighthave had a love interest in thatone).

I should mention that Harrisand Marlohe did a great job play-ing the two girls Bond interactswith in the film as they both keptmy interest in seeing who theywere and how they affected thestory. It was also a joy to see Q forthe first time since we did not seehim in “Casino Royal” and“Quantum of Solace.” I hope weget to see more of him in thefuture.

Finally, many of us can remem-ber Bardem’s performance as psy-chopathic hit man Anton Chigurhfrom “No Country for Old Men.”With Silva, he once again shows

Dec. 21, 2012This year marks the end of the

Some people believe the worldwill come to an end on this day; ifso, let’s ponder for a momentabout what we will miss out on.

First and foremost, we will notfind out whether or not the fiscalcliff will be avoided. There hasbeen a lot of fuss about this in themedia, and if we do not find outthe fate of America’s economy, itwill be a disappointment. In acliché way, all this talk about acliff would have been for nothing.

Second, we will not get to“hear” Britney Spears lip-synchagain, let alone sing live. A liveperformance is always better thana computerized one.

Third, we will not be able tosee the effects of the three-tier sys-tem. But this might be a goodthing.

Fourth, we will not see awoman become the president ofthe United States. We have comea long way as a nation in thesepast couple of years, as we haveseen two women take their posi-tions as U. S. Secretary of State.We are evolving, but have notcome full circle yet.

You may be familiar enoughwith my column to know I’ve cov-ered an array of musical genres. Tothis date, I feel as though I haveleft an important, often over-looked genre completely out of thepicture. It is this genre which, in amoney-and-fame driven musicindustry of today, seems to hold

truest to the art of music itself. Thisweek’s column will dive into thepool of independent music or,more commonly, indie music.

To begin, I already must makea correction. You see, diving into apool would imply the pool wouldbe deep enough to dive into safely.Rather, I often see indie music as ashallow pond spread all over theplace. Due to the nature of bandsbeing independent and seekingout their own individual sound,you don’t often see huge subgen-res form within the core genre of

independent music.The most difficult thing about

indie music, and perhaps one ofthe main reasons I haven’t cov-ered it up until now, is that there isno middle ground, so to speak. Toelaborate, take any other sort ofgenre into consideration. You canmost likely find raw talent pop upin a sort of “underground” wherethey haven’t yet been signed, butwork to create and release musicon their own. From there, theymight sign onto a label and be“above ground.” This opens them

up to a larger audience, but youstill probably wouldn’t find themcompeting for spots on top 40 listsat this point. They still maintainmore freedom to contribute musi-cally from their end and stay trueto their genre. Lastly, the onlyplace to go from there is up, andthat’s where you would see thementer “mainstream” and worktheir way into pop music.

For an example, look at theband Maroon 5. Their first album,“Songs About Jane,” came outway back in 2002 on J Records.

They followed that up five yearslater with “It Won’t Be SoonBefore Long” after a label changeto their current label,A&M/Octane. By then more fanswere starting to find out about thistalented band.

Next came the even larger“Hands All Over,” and “Misery”set in as we watched the pop rockband put more emphasis on theword “pop.” The radio ate themup like a tasty dessert and now wehave their latest album,

It feels like in this post-elec-tion/campaign season that we arein a game show or a reality show.The major topic discussed in thenews and late-night talk showslately is the fiscal cliff.

To a college student, the fiscalcliff may elicit different meaningsand can be confusing. A college

student may know that the term“fiscal,” according to theMerriam-Webster Dictionary,deals with taxes. The “cliff” is thetricky part. What does the “cliff”mean?

According to broadcast newssources, the fiscal cliff will occur atthe end of this year. If the twomajor political parties cannotdecide who to tax, the “cliff” willbe inevitable. Economically, we

will fall over this imaginary “tax”mountain.

Democrats believe by taxingthe upper class, it will be a goodstart. Republicans, of course donot totally agree. In recent days,some prominent party leadershave said that they believe the“cliff” will be averted, indicatingan agreement is in the foreseeablefuture.

How do reality shows and

game shows fit in this idea of a“fiscal cliff?” One way to think ofit is, 26 days, two political parties,only one agreement for this tax“cliff.” Yes, this may sound famil-iar, because it is similar to theopener that Jeff Probst says onevery episode of “Survivor.”Game shows fit in because Iwatched David Letterman onenight, and he came up with theclever idea of demonstrating the

fiscal cliff with a game from the“Price is Right.” The game he por-trayed was “Cliffhanger.”Jokingly, he said America will falloff this cliff.

American government willalways fight over who is on theright side of an argument. It seemslike the dominant parties willalways butt heads.

It was a sweet summer eveningwhen I first saw her walking

through the park. Her hair waslong and golden; her smile cuteand mysterious. I knew right thenthat my heart was hers and herheart mine. I was going to be herPrince Charming, her knight inshining armor. So I rode up besideher on my stallion and called outto her, “My fair maiden, what isyour name?”

She looked up at me with aconfused look in her eyes andsaid, “Gretchen.”

The Minot State UniversityBeta Theta Sorority held its firstHonorary Banquet after its revi-talization at the historic CarnegieCenter in downtown MinotSunday, Nov. 4, 2012.

“The Beta Theta Sorority heldthis event to honor the specialpeople in their lives as well as thenew bonds formed as sisters. Itwas an amazing evening and abeautiful memory for all,” eventchair Alyson Payrril said.

This Beta Theta sorority ban-

quet is a traditional way Betasshow their thanks to special peo-ple in their lives as well as cele-brating their new history as a sis-ter. Parents, family members andfriends attended.

“I thought the honorary din-ner was a mix between the newand the old that was fun for all,”Beta Theta Active EmilyAnderson said.

All good things ‘moust’ come to an end

by Jamin HellerStaff Writer

Notice an increase in theamount of moustaches on cam-pus last month? You should have.That’s because Novembermarked the 8th annual“Movember” fundraiser, a globalinitiative that encourages men togrow moustaches to raise moneyand awareness for vital men’shealth issues.

For the first time, the entireMinot State University men’sbaseball team sacrificed shavingwhile collecting funds to supportprostate and testicular cancerresearch. As December rolls in,the team can finally dust off therazors, slap on some shavingcream and look back at whatturned into a wildly successfulfundraiser.

After seeing the Beavers raisemore than $1,800, head coachBrock Weppler was pleased withhow his team embraced theevent. He envisions the fundrais-er only getting bigger and betterin the future.

“I think anytime you can raise$1,800 and give it to a good cause,it’s definitely a good thing,”Weppler said. “The guys certain-

ly had fun with it. Hopefully, nextyear, people know we’re doing itagain, so it’s going to be thatmuch easier to spread the word.The main thing is to spread theword, make sure everyone knowswhat it’s all about.”

Although not all Beavers werecapable of attaining “FineMoustachery” status, the eventquickly evolved into a team-building exercise. The team con-ducted weekly power rankingsinside the locker room, sparkingheated debate over who wasgrowing the best (and worst)“Mo.”

Jordan Gilmour, a senior out-fielder from Gatineau, Quebec,emerged as one of the Beaver’smost prolific moustache connois-seurs. He was excited for theopportunity to showcase hisdark, thick ‘stache while also rais-ing money for a good cause.

“Movember was a huge suc-cess for our team,” Gilmour said.“Everybody participated and atthe same time we raised a greatamount of money to go towardprostate cancer research.Hopefully, MSU baseball contin-ues this tradition.”

While many girlfriends and

women everywhere will likely berelieved to see the calendar turnto December, no one can deny theimportance of the Movember ini-tiative. More than 8,500 maleswill be diagnosed with testicularcancer in 2012, and one in six isexpected to contract prostate can-cer during his lifetime.

Movember has proved to bean easily relatable cause. Likecountless others, I have personal-ly witnessed the unforgivingnature of cancer. Just this year, Ihave had a family friend diag-nosed and begin treatment forprostate cancer. Even more dis-turbing, a former teammate andcurrent NHL prospect has devel-oped testicular cancer at thefrightening age of 21. Cancer canaffect anyone at any time, and itis time we made headway towardfinding a cure.

Even though Movember hasofficially ended, I urge you tomake a donation and support atruly worthwhile cause. You cancontinue to make donationsthrough the Movember website.Simply visithttp://us.movember.com/team/498717 to explore the differentways you can make a difference.

Dear Mandy,My friend can be overbearing

when it comes to being in thesame class. She is very nice andfunny normally, but once we getinto the classroom her personal-ity changes. She tries to beresponsible, but she becomesoverbearing and annoying. Notonly does she keep tabs on howor if I do my homework, shealso makes me feel bad for arriv-ing barely a minute late! What'sa nice way to tell her to relax?Should I even approach herabout this situation? I'm wor-ried about ruining our friend-ship.Frustrated in Physics

Dear Frustrated in Physics,I understand it can be hard to

have one of those overbearingtypes of friends. From experi-ence, I think that what she istrying to convey is her care foryou. It also might give her asense of control in your class. Itmight be most helpful toaddress the situation after finalsweek, or before you head home.Winter break can be a great timeto de-stress for all of us. Youcould causally bring it up to

your friend over a phone chat,Skype, or even better: a post-finals run to the Beaver BrewCafe! (Try the Eggnog VanillaChai! Delicious!)

Of course, the worst way toapproach the situation is to tellher all the negative things youare upset about or "telling her torelax." Promise me you won't!Try using statements that beginwith, "I" and end your talk-timewith something positive and re-affirming of how much you careabout your friend and how youwant the best for your friend-ship. Hopefully the bliss thatcomes from winter break canease some of the nerves andstress!

You could always just avoidthe topic, but I don't think that isever a healthy option to some-thing that is bothering you thismuch. Hope all things go wellwith your friend, your physicsclass, and happy (finally) FinalsWeek!Until next time, Mandy

For eight years, Minot StateUniversity President David Fullerhas used his passion and drive tomake MSU “a unique university withinterests and personalities that sepa-rate us from other North Dakotaschools.” Fuller’s experience as a uni-versity leader is put to the test as heputs forth his latest proposals andoptimisms that will further distin-guish our school. He greatly com-mends those who have well represent-ed MSU and its community thus farthis year.

RG: Which Minot State events,groups or organizations stood outto you this semester?

DF: I was impressed with theStudent Social WorkOrganization’s “Freezin’ for aReason.” That’s a very admirablecause. The starting of the BeaverBrew Cafe across from campushas been doing an excellent job;the students have been engagedwith starting the whole thing upand running it themselves. Thisfulfills Minot’s goal to connectclassroom learning with actual,real-world experience. Not tomention they make great coffee!

I think the StudentGovernment Association (SGA)should be applauded for theirefforts this year in regard to whatis happening within the state’seducation policies. They made agreat effort to seek support andinformation from students so thatthey could provide feedback tothe higher-ups, as well as repre-sent our school. It was the fact thatthey created a resolution to pro-vide this state system some goodprofessional advice about how itshould be laid out that’s reallycommendable. I’m proud of themfor doing that.

Our Native American studentgroup has recently held theirNative American CulturalCelebration Week, and broughtnumerous speakers to campus tospeak about important NativeAmerican issues, and to raise

awareness about the importantrole that Native Americans play inthis state, community and cam-pus; I’m very proud of our rela-tionship with them.

The fact that we started ourfirst year in NCAA is also worthnoting. All those groups of stu-dent athletes have taken greatsteps to start in the right directionin a new conference.

The music department hasbeen putting on grand perform-ances as well. My general assess-ment is that it’s been a very activeand energetic year, and that ener-gy comes from very engaged stu-dents. That’s what we’re here for,after all, and I couldn’t be moreproud.

RG: Speaking of supportingstudents, are there any particulargroups you’d like to raise aware-ness of? Perhaps they are under-represented or are barely starting.

DF: When the Club Fair hap-pens at the beginning of each fallsemester, I make it a point to talkto everyone. I love the atmos-phere, and each year there are newgroups, especially special interestgroups, that want to engage otherstudents. There are many groupsthat have a big following butwhat’s interesting is the wide vari-ety that allows students a greaterrange to choose what they want tobe involved in. As far as some thatneed greater attention, clearly ourEnglish Club does a very nice job.The hockey club, both men’s andwomen’s, have represented MSUvery well with their efforts and tri-umphs. As far as other clubs, Icannot think off the top of myhead. I see them around, of course,and I am sure they’re doing a finejob.

RG: One of the more importantthings that happened this semes-ter was the Grandfather Clause.Most students just look at thefinancial aspect of it, but what aresome other benefits that comefrom it?

DF: Well, I was certainly appre-ciative of the board for recogniz-

ing that we are a special school. Ithink that what was nice aboutthat we had a special approach totuition that was unique to ourlocation here in Minot to attractstudents across this country andother countries to come and par-ticipate in what I think is a strong

institution. It’s growing because ofthe diversity of our campus.

However, some legislatorswere against our flat-rate tuitionplan, which was called The GrowNorth Dakota Plan; they believethat that particular policy requiresNorth Dakota citizens to supple-ment or support out-of-state stu-dents more than local students.Their perspective is that if a stu-dent is from a certain state, payingthat state’s taxes, they can comehere and get more of an unfairbenefit. So there was that perspec-tive that we had to work withbefore, during and after we pro-posed The Grow North DakotaPlan. Now that the other schoolshave already changed their tuitionrate, they wanted to implementthat change here. Eventually bothsides compromised to a condition-al plan, the Grandfather Clause, asa happy medium. It’s a stop-gapwhere we can still provide currentstudents with the promised flatrate, as well as students who areeager to come here the next schoolyear. For now, we are working onmore ways to entice students tothis beautiful place we live.

RG: Some people in the com-munity have been concerned

about the damaged parking lotnorth of the Dome. How may itaffect the parking situation for theMen’s Class B State BasketballTournament in March 2013? Whatcan MSU do to mend it in time?

DF: We are also concernedabout it. That particular section of

the parking lot actually used to bea dumping site for the city’srefuse, which in turn softenedmost of the ground deep beneathit. Last year, a company laid downa temporary asphalt covering inorder to stabilize it for the statevolleyball tournament. During thewinter, however, some of it stuckto the snow and was accidentallyripped right off as a worker grad-ed it, which exposed the dirt andmud underneath. Now we’rethinking to do one of two things:either wait until this winter for thesnow to freeze into the damagedareas and stabilize the surface forcars, or lay down ground-upcement to spread over the exposedplaces. These solutions are only atemporary fix, and neither is great.We are currently researchingother, more affordable ways to fixthe troublesome spot.

RG: There are other buildingprojects on campus that needmore funding, such as the HerbParker Stadium press box andaccommodations for track andfield events. How will MSU goabout this?

DF: Minot has excess money sothe city decided that they woulddistribute some of it to facilities

that will enhance the community.We resubmitted a proposal for $4million to go towards Herb ParkerStadium. Hopefully, if the citycouncil and legislature approve it,we can go ahead with construc-tion starting March or April. Ourhope is to have it ready to go bynext fall, when the sports thattrain and compete there start upagain. We already have a setamount of money that will coverthe costs to lay down a track onthe old football practice field, aswell as accommodations for spe-cific track events that will be inclose proximity to the track.However, the problem lies inwhether or not our proposals willbe approved — that will have aneffect on whether or not the trackand field program will have theirareas constructed sooner or later.Either way, I can’t wait to see themmade and ready to go.

RG: MSU has become notice-ably more eco-friendly these pastfew years. How do you plan oncontinuing this trend?

DF: I signed a President’sCommitment to climate change acouple years ago, and we’re put-ting together a pretty good plan tofigure out the specifics on our car-bon footprint on the environment.Our geothermal system is huge inthat way. We’re also looking forbetter transportation systems, too,to reduce the amount of traffic andtravel on campus. It will also helpus with our problematic parkingcondition on campus.

We’re also doing an energyaudit to see how we can conserveenergy usage. Also, a landscapingplan will see to it that we plantmore trees around campus. We arealso a part of a sustainability pro-gram, which is very important tome. They helped us spread recy-cling throughout campus and areadamant about using things thatare more eco-friendly, especiallywith Sodexo services in regards todoing away with Styrofoam orother non-degradable materials.

said, “ but most events that M-Lifesponsors are just for MSU stu-dents.

“What makes these eventspopular is they are very diverse.One week it will be a popular

movie like ‘The Campaign,’which aired on campus the dayafter the election. The next weekit could be a comedian orkaraoke. M-Life events havesomething for everyone and are agreat way to socialize at MSU.”

The Saturday beforeThanksgiving, the Student SocialWork Organization, SSWO, heldits 10th annual “Freezin’ for aReason” event. Club membersstood on Broadway from 9 a.m. to6 p.m., collecting food and cashdonations for the Minot AreaHomeless Coalition. According tothe organization, this year’s eventwas a smashing success.

Katie Davis, senior social workmajor and president of SSWO, isone of the organizers behind thisyear’s event.

“It was record-breaking,”Davis said. “Last year was record-breaking, and we even broke thatrecord!”

“It was very powerful,” socialwork senior Rachel Ritzke said. Itwas Ritzke’s third “Freezin’ for aReason,” and she says the event

All in all, I am very excited to seethese beneficial plans unfold.

RG: Are there going to be anybig changes for MSU next semes-ter?

DF: Next year, the legislaturemeets with many people fromaround the state to discuss anddeal with proposals. The legisla-ture meets every two years sothis is a very important time forme. What we are submitting forMSU is the continuation of thebuilding of our geothermal sys-tem. Area A, comprising of sixmajor campus buildings, isalready completed, so we’regoing to ask for support for AreaB, which would include ModelHall, Crane Hall, the mainte-nance facility and Old Main.

We will also propose toreceive funds in order to moveour maintenance facility off cam-pus. Currently, the maintenancebuilding is in the complex byCrane Hall with the larger park-ing lot but we’d like to move thatfacility up north by the GrandInternational. We have about$600,000 set aside for this pro-posal, and we’ll be asking for anadditional $1.8 million to com-plete the move. We will essential-ly vacate the maintenance build-ing to give the art department itsown building.

Right now we don’t have

ample room for the classes orprograms we’d like to imple-ment for MSU. We don’t evenhave a sculpture program, and Ithink sculpture is a very vitalskill for artists. This proposedshift will encourage the arts anddigital media to grow exponen-tially.

Another thing that we areproposing is the DeficitAppropriation Budget, which isbasically related to those expens-es which aren’t getting reim-bursed through the FederalEmergency Management Agency(FEMA) or other expenses due tothe flood, such as our purchaseof the Beaver Lodges west of thelibrary (which provided addi-tional housing for students),infrastructure changes, parkinglot damages and broken curbs.

Basically, there is a lot thatMinot State wouldn’t have gonethrough were it not for the flood,and we’d like to be reimbursedfor our losses through the statesince we haven’t received anyfrom the federal government.

RG: Are there any specificgoals that you’d like to havecompleted by the end of theschool year?

DF: We’re working very hardon putting on a plan to celebratethe upcoming centennial, whichis next year around homecomingseason. We have committees andmarketers working on special

activities and events that will cel-ebrate the fact that we, as aninstitution, will be 100 years old(MSU opened Sept. 22, 1913).

Next semester, I will attendand work with the legislature,which meets biannually and willhopefully approve of most, if notall, of our proposals. One otherthing that I’d also very much liketo start is a new internship pro-gram, which I have talked overand approved with the CareerServices Office. We would have amuch more sophisticated way tohandle internships, where stu-dents have the ability to reachout to the community and gettheir experience. I think that isimperative to students, to be ableto apply their school teaching toreal-world jobs and situations. Ifeel that this direct approach willhelp students from every majorand background to at least havean opportunity to obtain aninternship. So by the time theyear rolls around, maybe all ofthose things will come into effect.

RG: We can only hope, right?DK: Exactly right. The prob-

lem with being president of auniversity is that we have goals,but sometimes things come upthat take you away from allthose. Soon enough, though, wefind a chance to make greatchanges.

Native American Weekteaches, celebrates at MSU


The Minot State UniversityNative American CulturalAwareness Club recently hostedthe annual Native AmericanCultural Celebration Week, a spe-cial event to celebrate the diversityand uniqueness of NativeAmerican culture.

“Historically, it was a bad thingto be Native American,” AnnetteMennem, director of the MSUNative American Center said. “Webelieve that education can wipeaway a lot of those prejudices. Wewant our young people to growup and be proud of who they are.”

When organizing the eventeach year, the Cultural AwarenessClub tries to host events that rep-resent each North Dakota tribe ornation. This year, the group alsomade a strong effort to reach outto MSU alumni.

The week was packed withinteresting events and discus-sions: Dr. Tami Jollie-Trottier, aclinical psychologist and MSUgraduate, gave a presentation on“mininock miskikii,” or “turtlemedicine.” Turtle medicine is thepractice of setting limitations foroneself by listening to the body’s

natural signals and rhythms. Dr.Jollie-Trottier is a certified expertin the practice, and gives three-day clinics around the country onthe benefits it can provide.

By far the most popular sessionwas an open-discussion panel,back by popular demand from lastyear. Local Native American eld-ers, plus MSU faculty membersHarry Hoffman and NelreneYellowbird, fielded numerousquestions about Native Americanculture or traditions.

In partnership with theNorthwest Art Center, the Clubalso hosted Calvin Grenel, a mem-ber of the Three Affiliated Tribes.Grenel spoke on the impact of theenergy industry on the culturallandscape of Native Americantribes in North Dakota.

To close out the week, BrendaSlater, a member of the TurtleMountain Band of Chippewa,gave a presentation on traditionalstorytelling. Jodi Hajicek, also ofthe Turtle Mountain Band,demonstrated traditional dancestyles.

The Native American CulturalAwareness Club’s next event willbe the annual Powwow, held thelast weekend in April.
