Between the LinesThe downward spiral of political civility
By Dan FaganStaff Writer
While campaigning inMinnesota in 2008, presidentialcandidate John McCain was con-fronted by a supporter whoexpressed his trepidation aboutthe country’s future shouldMcCain’s opponent win the elec-tion.“Frankly, we’re scared. We’re
scared of an Obama presidency,”the supporter said.Looking back through the lens
of the vitriolic 2016 presidentialcampaign, McCain’s responsewas jaw dropping, not for furtherinciting such sentiments as onemight expect, but for his rebuff ofthe supporter’s fear.“I have to tell you, [Obama] is
a decent person and a person thatyou do not need to be scared of aspresident of the United States,”McCain replied.McCain’s assurance failed to
ease the consternation of anothersupporter who a few minuteslater opined, “I can’t trustObama. I have read about him,and he’s not, he’s, he’s an Arab.”Such baseless remarks about
then-Sen. Obama being an Arabor Muslim were common farethroughout the 2008 campaign,but they were often shot down byMcCain or Republican insiderslike former Secretary of StateColin Powell, who responded inan interview, “He’s not a Muslim,but the really right question is,‘What if he is?’ Is there somethingwrong with being a Muslim in
this country? The answer is, no.”My how things have changed
in eight years. The civilitydemonstrated by McCain andPowell is seemingly non-existentin today’s presidential contestbetween Donald Trump andHillary Clinton. Trump’s labelingof his opponent as ‘CrookedHillary’ wins raucous applause athis rallies, while Clinton wasrecently caught on tape referringto Trump’s supporters as “a bas-ket of deplorables.”Both camps have mobilized
behind negative campaignsaimed at destroying the characterof the other. Clinton ads under-score Trump’s demeanor, paint-ing him as a loose cannon bent ondestruction. Trump has respond-ed in kind with negative ads andnever-ending twitter rants direct-ed at Clinton and any personwho breathes a critical wordabout his behavior.Perhaps the attacks reached a
new low during the second tele-vised debate when Trump delin-eated his plan, if he were tobecome president, to prosecuteClinton over her mishandling ofclassified documents as Secretaryof State. Trump stated that hewould appoint a special prosecu-tor to “look into her situation”and warned her that she wouldbe in jail if he were to win theelection.Such a threat is not only lack-
ing in civility, it’s utterly dictato-rial. To express a desire to jailClinton completely disregards
the judicial process that we relyon to maintain order in our socie-ty, especially after FBI directorJames Comey, a Republicanappointed by George W. Bush,testified before congress thatClinton’s mishandling of classi-fied documents was not worthyof prosecution. The United StatesAttorney General reached thesame conclusion.The prosecution of political
prisoners has been a commonpractice of dictators throughouthistory, including Hitler in NaziGermany and Pinochet in 1980’sChile. The trend continues todayin more subtle forms in countrieslike Russia, where journalists crit-ical of the Kremlin are jailed or, insome cases, end up dead. Anycalls to imprison political oppo-nents without sufficient regardfor the judicial process is a slip-pery slope leading to dangerousauthoritative trends in govern-ment.In some instances, sharp criti-
cisms are justified. Clinton’s mis-handling of classified documentsis a legitimate concern, andTrump’s inexcusable remarksabout sexually assaulting womenare, in my opinion, utterlyshameful and worthy of themedia attention they havewrought. However, both candi-dates would be better off to letthe voters decide for themselveswhether such mistakes are dis-qualifying instead of saturatingthe airwaves with negative ads

ment, but we might not ask thestate for it,” MSU President StevenShirley said. “There’s a lot that canbe done in six months.”While the facility construction
was completed before the state’sbudget shortfall, funds that werepotentially going to be earmarkedfor the parking lot were lost whenthe university unexpectedly faced abudget cut of more than $3 million.“The building was not directly
affected by the budget, but it didindirectly impact the completion,”Shirley said. “The state budget wasbased on a forecast that was off bya million dollars.” As a result, theuniversity cut more than 6 percentof its budget. In the event MSU raises the
funds privately or through the leg-islature and gets spendingapproval next year, the parking lotcould be fully paved and the facili-ty fully operational by spring 2017.“That’s the hope,” Shirley said.

Bobylev receives grant for organic chemistry researchBy Jerusalem Tukura
EditorMinot State University organic
chemistry instructor MikhailBobylev received a grant of $100,000from theE xp e r im en t a lProgram toS t i m u l a t eC o m p e t i t i v eR e s e a r c h(EPSCoR). This isa highly competi-tive grant in theresearch fieldand MSU qualified for it, for the firsttime ever, through Bobylev.The Institutional Development
Award Program (IDeA) Networks ofBiomedical Research Excellence(INBRE) has funded MSU since 2002,but these funds had been insufficientfor Bobylev’s line of research. Thestate of North Dakota had also beenreceiving grants from EPSCoR, a sis-ter program to INBRE run by theNational Science Foundation (NSF).However, they had not been fundingundergraduate schools. Therefore,Minot State did not qualify for thesegrants.In a fortunate turn of events,
EPSCoR decided to fund primaryundergraduate institutions in NorthDakota such as Minot State, as wellas tribal colleges.“The state had EPSCoR for many
years, but it was not funding under-graduate schools,” Bobylev said.“This is something that INBRE hadbeen doing for a very long time, andEPSCoR decided to do it just now.They had a call for papers and pro-posals, so we submitted one and wegot one.”In the past, Bobylev did research
for INBRE and had up to 10 studentsworking with him in the laboratory.But since he is just starting out withEPSCoR, Bobylev has only two stu-dents on his research team, BreanneHatfield and Jordan Torgunrud. Bothstudents are chemistry majors.The students involved are funda-
mental to the research. Expectedly,such a position has some require-ments. To participate in suchresearch, one would have to be agood student in organic chemistry,be interested in organic chemistry in
general and should be interestedspecifically in lab or practical work.Hatfield and Torgunrud met thesecriteria.“When we worked for INBRE,
the goal was to produce new medi-cines, on one hand,” Bobylev said.“On the other hand, we were tryingto develop better ways to make them— better synthetic methods, betterreactions.” During the course of his research
for INBRE, Bobylev realized that hecould make polymers through those
reactions. Polymers, in laymanterms, are simply plastics. Althoughthis was an interesting discovery, itwas not in the interest of INBREbecause it was not medicine-relatedand so it did not qualify for funding.Incidentally, EPSCoR was pro-
viding funds for projects that makenew materials, and Bobylev’sresearch fit the profile.“It was exactly what I needed.
They came with this kind of funding,so I applied and I got it,” Bobylev

said.The goal of Bobylev’s research is
to make new polymeric materialsthat will have better properties andwill be made from renewableresources like corn cobs. Theresearch is relevant to EPSCoRbecause its primary goal is to spon-sor research in big universities inN.D., such as the University of NorthDakota and North Dakota StateUniversity. But these schools need aninflux of students coming to doresearch.“So when the students get
exposed to research here, in MinotState, then there is a better chance ofthem going on to graduate school todo research,” Bobylev said.The research is a plus to Bobylev
as it enhances his career goals as aninstructor and a researcher.“You cannot really teach success-
fully unless you do research in yourarea, because if you teach the samething over and over again, it getsboring and you are not developing,”he said. “So, when you do research,you grow intellectually and profes-sionally. Also, you share your expe-rience in science with the students —not the textbook experience, but thereal experience. That makes organicchemistry more attractive to stu-dents,” he said.The new polymers that Bobylev is
producing in our lab will be of greatsignificance to Minot State and to thefield of sustainable materials.“The new results we get here can
be brought to our class here in the lab— something that no one can do, butwe can do here. Something interest-ing that we discovered here canbecome part of education,” Bobylevsaid.Participating in research from the
undergraduate level is highly benefi-cial for students interested inresearch, as it enhances their skillsets and prepares them for the futurein their various science- andresearch-related fields.“You’re in the classroom a lot and
teachers tell you what to think, butwhen you get into research, it’s moreabout how to think, rather than whatto think,” Hatfield said. “There is noanswer to our problem. That’s whatresearch is. So you have to find your
own way and figure it out. Doingresearch as an undergrad definitelyprepares you for grad school whenyou’re on your own and you haveyour own problems. You have to fig-ure things out so you kind of alreadyunderstand the methodology. Andyou get to apply the things you’velearned in class to the lab.”Torgunrud spoke about the
research and its relevance to herfuture, as well.“What piqued my interest in the
research,” she said, “was materialscience and polymers. It’s fascinat-ing. Working in the lab is great formy lab skills, because I’m going toneed those in the future. It’s kind ofchanging my ideal career path,because I had no idea that I reallyloved material sciences and makingpolymers, but now I’m looking moreinto sustainability research usingpolymers.”This research, among many oth-
ers at MSU, provides opportunity forstudents to apply theoretical knowl-edge and practice experimentation toprepare for career paths in research.Not only is Bobylev’s research in
the production of new polymersfrom sustainable materials relevantto the furtherance of his career, butalso to the field of science and educa-tion in general.

Native American Center and coordi-nator of the Native AmericanCultural Celebration.“My goal,” Mennem said, “is to
show that there is a lot of good.People sometimes think that all arethe same, and I guess my goal every
year when we have these events is tobring in people so that the stereotypesare not there.”Mennem and the club have invit-
ed Chase Iron Eyes, a NativeAmerican attorney running for con-gress, to visit campus Nov. 1. IronEyes will talk about the importance ofeducation, discussing the Indian cul-tural way to think about community.He will also share success stories.The celebration continues

Comm 281Minot State University
Campus Players will present theirannual 24-Hour Play Festival per-formance Saturday, Oct. 29, at7:30 p.m. in Aleshire Theater. Theevent is open to the public; admis-sion is $5.In the festival, participants will
literally create and perform entireplays in 24 hours. On Friday, Oct.28, everyone who wants to partic-ipate will meet at 7 p.m. inHartnett Hall 128 to get acquaint-ed. After the meeting, writers andproducers will assign actors to thewriters. Then, they start to writetheir approximately 10-minuteplays. Last year, they gave eachplay a theme drawn out of a hat.Once the writers finish, direc-
tors pick up their scripts; actorsshow up at 8 a.m. the next day forpractice and rehearsals. At 7:30p.m., 24 hours from the first meet-ing, actors start to perform thenewly created plays.MSU student Katie
Abrahamson is producer of the24-Hour Play Festival.“It kinda gives people a good
idea of what goes into making a
play,” she said, “like freshman orpeople who want to come and dothe acting, but they don’t reallyknow how the process of play cre-ation works.”Anyone interested in acting is
welcome to come try their hand,but the writers’ and directors’positions require a college play-writing or directing class. Also, allactors must have the next day freeand must bring one costume andone prop, with the exception of ahat.Abrahamson explained that
each play will be about five to tenminutes, and while it is not a longperformance in minutes, every-one will see the challenges metand feel a sense of accomplish-ment.“It’s a lot. It’s like, really crazy,
but they’re 10-minute shows, soit’s not like they’re putting on along production,” Abrahamsonsaid, “but, there’s four or five ten-minute shows. And it’s a lot offun. A lot of people really like it.”Abrahamson invites anyone
even a little bit interested in act-ing or being a part of theater tocome out to participate in the fes-tival.
