theatre program has taken a newroute with the plays they haveperformed, working the showsthat aren’t just to entertain anaudience or show us history, buttruly remind us of the creativityand hard work that goes into cre-ating a show, and the beauty thatcan be seen once it has been per-formed.
“Bertolt Brecht was continuallyadapting his plays during his life-time,” Gilseth said. “He felt theworld was always in a constantstate of flux, so he had to bechanging with it.”
This is the kind of thing thatthe MSU program looks into whenchoosing a show; not if it will sellmany seats, but what kind of mes-sage can be shown to an audiencewhen they come to the event.
“By updating the script andplacing the prologue in NorthDakota, I hope that the audiencewill give more thought to theaction of the play and the meaningof Brecht’s words,” Gilseth said.
Admission is $10 for adults and$5 for seniors and students under18. MSU students, faculty andstaff are admitted free with MSUID. To reserve tickets, call the boxoffice at 701-858-3172.

On Movies‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’
by Alex NelsonStaff Writer
Ladies and Gentleman, Boysand Girls. Let's get ready to rum-ble!
"Batman v Superman: Dawn ofJustice" stars Ben Affleck, HenryCavill, Amy Adams, JesseEisenberg, Gal Gadot, Diane Lane,Laurence Fishburne, Holly Hunterand Jeremy Irons. It is directed byZack Snyder and rated PG-13 forviolence, language and someintense scenes.
Months after the battle inMetropolis, Clark Kent (Cavill)unknown to the public asSuperman, has become a huge con-cern for many. He is supported by
his mother, Martha (Lane), andreporter Lois Lane (Adams), yethe is feared by many, such asSenator June Finch (Hunter) andCEO of LexCorp, Lex Luthor(Eisenberg). They are not the onlyones who question the motives ofthe man of steel as Bruce Wayne(Affleck), who is secretly Batman,has been suspicious of Supermanand what he is able to do.
Superman in turn is disturbedby Batman's brutal ways of fight-ing crime in Gotham City and,against the order of Editor-in-chiefPerry White (Fishburne), Clarkdecides to investigate the lone vig-ilante. However, unknown forcesare at work that will bring thesetwo heroes against one another.
Despite the assistance frombutler Alfred Pennyworth (Irons)
and a mysterious woman knownas Diana Prince (Gadot), bothBatman and Superman are aboutto come to blows in possibly oneof the greatest battles in history.
It took me awhile to see thismovie and, after the wait, I have tosay that it was worth it. What Ireally liked about the film wasthat it wasn't simply just constantfighting between the two heroes,but more conflict on how theyfight crime, and ideals. Supermanis viewed as a symbol of hope, yethe is also feared for not beinghuman and for his powers.Batman uses fear when dealingwith criminals, however his meth-ods are sometimes viewed asextreme, and he doesn't trustmany people.
Superman tends to see the
good in the world while Batmanonly sees the darkness in theworld. We get a viewpoint of bothof these characters and see whatkeeps them going throughout thefilm. The action sequences fea-tured were enjoyable to watch,and I especially believe that thecast was well chosen for each ofthe roles. Both Affleck and Cavilldid a fantastic job as Batman andSuperman respectively, as well asnewcomers Gadot and Eisenburgas Wonder Woman and LexLuthor.
I will admit it took me a bit toget used to Eisenberg as LexLuthor as, in most versions,Luthor gives off that shrewd busi-nessman vibe while Eisenberg'sportrayal is more of a young exec-utive who is a bit eccentric and a
bit uncomfortable when aroundpeople. However, despite hisseemingly harmless personality,deep down he shows us that he isreally a mentally unstable individ-ual and a murderous sociopathwho will do everything he can todestroy Superman and anythingin his way.
While her appearance in themovie is a bit minor, Gadot stilldoes a great job as she reminds usthat Superman and Batman arenot the only superheroes in theworld, and that more are likely toshow themselves in the future. Ishould mention the movie is long,at least two hours and thirty min-utes. While a few scenes couldhave been shortened or cut out, Ipersonally found the length to be

Book Review‘Hachiko’s Last Lover,’ by Yoshimoto Banana
By Yun Ji NamStaff Writer
“Hachiko’s Last Lover” centerson the protagonist, a young girlnamed Mao. Mao meets a boynamed Hachiko, whose name sheonly heard from a premonition.According to the premonition, shewill be his last lover. Curious ifthis mysterious prediction indeedwill turn out to be true, Maodevelops an odd emotional attach-ment towards Hachiko.
The novel is difficult to defineas a romance, because the storydeals with themes more profoundand complex than its main plot - alove story between Mao andHachiko. If I dare to do so, thatwould limit the beauty anduniqueness of this novel, because“Hachiko’s Last Lover” teaches usmore than mere entertainmentgained from a generic love storyarc. The novel has the elements of
a travelogue, a philosophical trea-tise, self-improvement novel, anda journal. Yoshimoto’s writingreflects Mao’s stream of con-sciousness that often goes off-route from the main plot line.
In Yoshimoto’s many writings,such as “Kitchen,” “Amrita,” and“Lizard,” her characters are frus-trated and trapped in reality. Hercharacters emit strong existential-ism, wanting to not only exist in
life, but rather desperately feelevery breath they take. This isYoshimoto’s recurrent theme andstyle, which is represented by theprotagonist, Mao. In the novel,Mao appears to cherish even triv-ial memories of Hachiko after therelationship ends. Mao desperate-ly wants to exist in the verymoment, regardless of the level ofsignificance of the event.Yoshimoto’s unique style of
describing Mao’s desperatenessand sincerity to appreciate eachmoment deserves a second, and athird look. Mao becomes the verysmell of food she cooks, and whenhaving sex becomes her veryorgan.
The fun of reading “Hachiko’sLast Lover” does not lie in expect-ing a new incident of theunknown which unfolds in every

chapter, like many other novelsdo. Yoshimoto’s writing is a littledifferent. In terms of incidents, noparticularly exciting event hap-pens regarding the progression ofMao and Hachiko’s relationship.“Hachiko’s Last Lover” is strictlyconsisted only of Mao’s intuitiveand introverted contemplationand daily philosophical conversa-tion between Mao and Hachiko.
However, what grasps ourattention is Yoshimoto’s uniqueway of developing the plot.Yoshimoto freely develops herstory of relationship between Maoand Hachiko, yet often takes aquick turn in order to narrate theprotagonist’s deep contemplation,which may appear to have no con-nection to the plot yet surprisinglydevelops the character fully.Moreover, she chooses extremepoetic expression in doing this.Mao sinks deep into her reveriewhile exploring the concept offreedom. That being said, oddlyenough, the protagonist (orYoshimoto’s) stream of conscious-ness never hinders the readers’understanding of what is goingon, but rather enables them tohave a clear view of Mao’sthoughts.
In the midst of reading thenovel, I realized many poeticexpressions, which I found diffi-cult to understand at first glance,slowly began to untangle them-selves and became comprehensi-ble, as I repeatedly read the lines.Yoshimoto’s “Hachiko’s LastLover” contains incredibleamount of substance in such asmall volume. Once the readersstrip each of her expressions apart,readers will be amazed by the con-densed mixture of Yoshimoto’stheme, expression and style.People may find Yoshimoto’s pro-found expression in storytellingregarding mundane activities

necessary; it is not just constantfighting throughout the movie.
That said some viewersmight be annoyed by the timelength of the film. It also wouldhelp viewers if they saw "Manof Steel" or at least have an ideaof the previous film beforewatching this one. Many impor-tant details from the previousfilm are mentioned and it wouldhelp viewers understand whatis going on.
Overall, I found the film to beworth the watch. I have read thatsome critics didn't like thismovie, and the website, RottenTomatoes, gave it a low score.Although I have talked to manypeople who have seen the movieat the theater and tell me theyenjoyed it. So, in the end, I guessthe final judgment should be leftto you viewers to see if themovie is worth the watch or not.
As for me, I enjoyed theaction and drama scenes, as wellas the characters featured in thismovie. While not exactly aMarvel studios film, it stillimpressed me enough to watchit again. Oh, and keep an eyeout for the many references andcameos that are featured.
Personally, I give "Batman VSuperman: Dawn of Justice" 4.5out of 5 Beavers, but howeveryou view the movie would beyour own opinion.

Ministry is sponsoring a trip tothe Holy Land next year. Theplan is to leave from Minot onDec. 27, 2016, and return on Jan.6, 2017. The trip will explore thediverse religious, political andhistorical significance of Israeland Palestine, with an emphasison Jerusalem as the center ofJudaism, Christianity and Islam.
The itinerary includes visits tothe Old City in Jerusalem,Bethlehem, Nazareth, the Sea ofGalilee, Masada, Qumran (site ofthe Dead Sea Scrolls), and achance to float in the Dead Sea.We will also visit a U.N. refugeecamp in the West Bank, severalMiddle East peace organizations,and the Yad Vashem HolocaustMemorial.
This trip will challenge you togrow in your faith and self-understanding. You will beexposed to new peoples, cul-tures, religious perspectives,tastes, smells, sounds and sights.Your comfort zone will bestretched, and you are guaran-teed to see your life and your
place in the world in a wholenew light.
If you are interested in partic-ipating in this trip, you are invit-ed to an informational meetingon Wednesday, April 20, at 8p.m. in the Multicultural Center.We’ll talk about what to expect,trip costs, fundraising, and thepossibility of applying for aca-demic credit. We’ll also talkabout trip safety, internationaltravel, and how to convince yourparents that travel to the HolyLand is indeed safe (shortanswer – it’s probably safer thantraveling to many places in theUnited States!). You’ll also get tomeet your trip leaders, see pic-tures and hear stories of theplaces we will visit.
If you’re unable to make themeeting, please contact medirectly for more information.Otherwise, I hope you can join uson Wednesday, April 20, at 8p.m.
strange for being poetic, yet itunderscores how “Hachiko's LastLover” is simply not designed forthe readers to quickly consume.
Hachiko walks away from Maoat the end. We witness Mao beingabsolutely miserable. Her behav-iors become temperamental andextremely unpredictable, compul-sively repeating to pack to go backto Hachiko, and quickly giving itup. Her pain receptor, that shevoluntarily chooses to use andturn off, makes her look sadistic.To our surprise, Mao’s pain thatwas described earlier in the novelquickly changes into a contrastingemotion: happiness. In Mao’sshort journey, we see Yoshimoto’sother important theme, apprecia-tion of life as well.
Yoshimoto juxtaposes theopposite kinds of emotion of Mao.This comes to us readers as a sur-prise, which also delivers anincomprehensible catharsis.Yoshimoto can easily create a cer-tain atmosphere in one chapter,then quickly shift it to a complete-ly contrasting one within the samepage. Mao’s way of coping withparting is not at all complex, infact it is – described clear andclean-cut. Mao’s broken heartcompletely disappears at the end,and only bliss remains. This per-haps is the kind of farewell we alllook for in our necessary partings.The story of coping with pain toldby this Japanese writer is surpris-ingly, universally beautiful.

“We were making [the promo]for more than a school project,”graphic designer Kris Morkinsaid. “We were trying to inspirestudents and athletes to havemore school spirit and to want tobe at Minot State.”
The students worked relent-lessly outside of class despite the

Submitted by Ashley BuschMSU student
The Midwest BroadcastJournalism Association (MBJA)honored two Minot StateUniversity broadcasting studentsand an associate professor withEric Sevareid Awards at theMidwest Journalism Conference inBloomington, Minn.
The MBJA hosts the annualconference, which provides broad-casting and journalism students inthe midwest with top-notch pro-fessional training, recognition ofsuperior work and networkingopportunities.
According to the MBJA web-site, “The Eric Sevareid Awardsare named after the North Dakotanative and University ofMinnesota-educated journalistknown for his work as a corre-spondent for CBS Radio andTelevision. Every year, the organi-zation presents awards to the bestwork done by broadcast newsoperations and journalists work-ing in small, medium, and largemarkets in its six-state region onradio, television and online.”There is also a college division ofthe Eric Sevareid competition.
Emily Medalen, an MSU senior,received a first-place SevareidAward for her TV weather forecastin the student competition.Medalen said she has made manyimprovements from her entry lastyear because, “I got a lot morecomfortable on air, especiallywhen ad libbing.”
She is excited to network andmeet people in the broadcastingindustry.
“Last year I wasn’t in as good aplace to contact people right away,because I still had another year leftof school ahead of me. Now thatI’m looking to graduate soon, I’mreally excited to meet people fromthe surrounding areas, try to net-work with them, and see where Ican go,” Medalen related.
“I’m honored to win thisaward. I feel so lucky that mywork (at KXMC) and school coor-dinate together so well. That’sprobably why I’ve grown so much
and have been lucky enough towin this,” she said.
Leif Bakken, a sophomore fromLemmon, South Dakota, also wona Sevareid Award in the studentdivision. Bakken took first placefor his radio series on MinotState’s Transition to Division IIwith the National CollegiateAthletic Association. “I hadn’trealized that we are the youngestschool in Division II sports. [Frommy interviews] I learned that therewere a lot of coach transitionsincluding football, track, volley-ball, and men’s basketball. Themain difference for coachesbetween the NAIA ( NationalAssociation of IntercollegiateAthletics) and NCAA Division IIwas the style of recruiting. This isbecause Division II has a morepristine name, so students tend totake it more seriously,” heexplained.
Bakken said he was most look-ing forward to experiencing theMBJA conference for the first time,and watching the sports playby-
plays so he can figure out how toimprove and expand his skills.
Meanwhile, associate professorNeil Roberts accepted fourSevareid Awards of Merit for hisentries in the small market radiocategory including two series:“Training Camp Today” with theMinnesota Vikings and “SpringFever Baseball” with theMinnesota Twins, along with“Everson Griffen looks for a bigseason” in the sports reportingcategory, and “Vikings US BankStadium Nears Completion” inthe talk/public affairs category.
Roberts says his radio reportsrun on KZZJ AM 1450 in Rugby,and can also be heard on about 60other radio stations across a six-state region.
Roberts, Medalen and Bakkenfound out the placing of theirawards on Saturday at the awardsbanquet in Bloomington. Visitmidwestjournalists.org for moreinformation about the conferenceand a complete list of the awardwinners.

In the fourth, fifth, sixth andseventh innings, the visitingWildcats scored two runs ineach inning to win the game, 8-4.
“The first game it wasmomentum, definitely,” headcoach Brock Weppler said aboutthe comeback. “After the firstfew innings, we held a lead andall of the sudden, they’re throw-ing up two-run innings over andover. That momentum was ontheir side.
“We’ve had a couple of thosegames like that this year. If theyscore a couple runs, we have toanswer or have to have a gooseegg on the other side of it.”
In game two it was WayneState that would get off to a 3-0lead in the first inning, forcingthe Beavers to attempt a come-back.
Pitcher Austin Berntson (Sr.)scored the first run for the hometeam with a single-shot homerun in the fourth inning. MSUwould go on to score anotherrun in that inning to cut the leadto one run.
In the sixth inning, both teamshit single-run homers to add totheir run totals and move thescore to 4-3. Wayne State added arun in the seventh and held
Minot State off in the final fewinnings to win the game, 5-3.

On Sunday, the two teamsscored 38 runs between them ina single game at Corbett Field,but the final score favored thevisiting Wildcats, 25-13.
WSC got off to a fast startscoring two runs in each of thefirst two innings and an eight-run fourth inning to go up 12-0.The Beavers responded in thefifth with a five-run inning topush their deficit back to sevenruns.
The Wildcats kept postingbig run innings, though, with afour-run and eight-run inning inthe sixth and seventh, respec-tively. In those innings, MinotState was able to score eightruns as well, but could neverclose the lead, which ended at 12after seven innings.
Throughout the game ninepitchers took the mound,including six from the hometeam. Each pitcher, from bothteams, that pitched at least oneinning, allowed no fewer thanthree runs in his appearance.
In a day full of strong bats,Minot State was led by ConnerOliver (OF, Sr.) who recordedfour hits in five at bats whilescoring two runs and driving inanother two. Jordan Schulz (OF,Jr.) helped his team with fiveRBIs, including a double to cen-ter field that cleared the loadedbases.
