duced by the biotechnology cor-poration Monsanto, was tied toorgan failure. While Monsanto’sstudy said that its product wassafe, there is concern that theirstudy wasn’t conducted properly.

The article titled, “Monsanto’sGMO Corn Linked To OrganFailure Study Reveals,” byKatherine Goldstein, says thatGMO corn was found in a studyput out by the "InternationalJournal of Biological Sciences" to

be connected with organ failure,in particular the liver and kidneys,in rats. The article pointed out thatMonsanto’s study only monitoredthe effects of its corn for 90 days,which didn’t actually leaveenough time to see the harmfuleffects, like organ failure.

Call me nuts, but why are weselling food in grocery stores thatwould put Speedy Gonzales onkidney dialysis? I know rats aren’tthe same as people, but if the rats

are getting sick from being fed thiscorn, then that must mean there isat least some degree of toxicity toit.

Granted, this article I read wasfrom 2010, but GMO food is stillaround and doesn’t seem to begoing anywhere.

It disturbs me a lot, becausecorn products are so hard toavoid. Corn is used in everythingfrom high fructose corn syrup,used to flavor sodas, to taco shells

and corn on the cob.To my knowledge, GMO prod-

ucts aren’t labeled in most placesin the United States, so consumershave no way of knowing whetherthe food they are eating wasgrown in the traditional way orthis “new-fangled” potentiallysuicidal, genetically modifiedway.

If Speedy Gonzales dies fromit, I think we should consider itpotentially dangerous.

Genetically Modified Food: just when I thought it couldnʼt get any more disturbingNot Just Paranoia

by Frankie Jean-PierreStaff Writer

"We the People" is still a validphrase and we can't let our gov-ernment forget that. If we let themdo as they please, we are in dan-ger of losing our freedoms. A gov-ernment takeover is not likely tohappen in any case, but if youread "1984" and then look atwhere we are as a society in rela-tion to our government, you willfind an abundance of similarities.It’s a fine line that we tread and ascitizens of this country andhumans of this world we canbend, but we cannot break. Toofar one way, we face total loss offreedom; too far the other way, weface anarchy [no it won't be likethe TV show "Sons of Anarchy"].

I'm a believer of the fact thatsome freedoms have to be givenup in order to keep our borders

safe. I'm also willing to give upsome things if it were to mean I'dbe safe. However, we must draw avery stern line. Case in point: thereis a bill floating around congressthat would allow the US militaryto detain groups of people for anindefinite amount of time withouttrial or even giving the arrestedperson their Miranda rights. NowI see why they would want to dosuch a thing - it’s an attempt tocapture people who could be pos-sible home-grown terrorists.

Do you see where this wouldcause trouble though? One, thereare militia groups out there whodo not support what the U.S. gov-ernment does and they voice theiropinions on such things. If the U.S.government or the president ofthe time were extremely paranoid,they could arrest these people(unconstitutionally mind you) andhold them for as long as theypleased. This is how many totali-

tarian governments start. Theyobtain too much power. They doso by gradually changing lawsand passing bills such as this one.They start out with good inten-tions, but some of the worst thingsimaginable have come from goodintentions. If a law like that was tobe passed, there HAVE to be strict-ly enforced guidelines. Like if thegovernment wanted to act uponthis bill, then the following condi-tions must be in place:

1. The United States must beformally under a declaration ofwar with another nation, state ormilitant group (the idea of "terror"does not fall under such cate-gories).

2. The United States must bein either DEFCON 1 or 2, or whileunder level 3 with an undeniableamount of evidence to proceedwith arrest.

It is unconstitutional to have notrial for detainees or to force them

to waive their rights, so that part ofthe bill will have to be addressed.Other than that, from the briefdescription I read on the bill, therest will suffice. Those are thekinds of conditions though, thathave to be met before any amountof freedom is taken away fornational security purposes. Like Isaid before, this is a fine line for agovernment to walk where theyconsider taking away freedoms forsecurity. If the situation is handledpoorly, then what little faith thepeople have in the governmentcould be severed instantly.

Other bills are out there beingdebated over and the main issuewith all these bills is the govern-ment is trying to take control overthe people and their choices. Billslike "Measure B" and ones thatoutlaw abortion are prime exam-ples of the government trying totake total control of decisions theyhave no say in.

Where our country is headingand what identity we want to takeon is one that will ultimately bedecided by our generation. Afterall, it will be us who lead the coun-try one day and we need to ensurethat it’s going to be a nation worthtaking control of. The principlesthat founded our great nationhave been forgotten by many,including our own leaders. Yet,they remain on parchment thatwas used in the making of theConstitution. We have to get backto basics, just like a sports teamthat has struggled or a person whois starting from scratch.

Everyone and every nation getslost at least for a little while andthat’s when you stop, analyze thesituation and come up with a solu-tion.

It’s time for the people of theUnited States to read theConstitution and get back tobasics.

I went back downstairsto sate my curiosity and to put mymind at ease. However, when Iwalked out onto the red mat, thefreshman was gone. The belayersattested that he had just left. Imust have walked right by him.He was gone and his shoesweren’t there either, but some-thing still wasn’t right. I had to

A resident from CookHall was hesitant about climbingthe auto-belay wall, but theemployees assured her that it wasperfectly safe, so she proceeded.When she had climbed about fortyfeet up the wall, the rope snapped.She fell swiftly and broke herneck. To my horrid surprise, the

others there casually, but quickly,picked up her lifeless body andtossed it in a hidden door at thebase of the wall. Another persondiscarded her possessions at theentrance and then reattached therope to the auto-belay machine. Inseconds, every trace of that poorgirl was gone. Even her bloodfaded into obscurity upon theaptly colored red mats.

In the following weeks, I sawseveral other freshmen meet thesame fate, and each time they van-ished through that hidden door. Itried to see what secrets lay

behind it, but I could not open thedoor.

And it was at this moment thatit all changed again. I woke upgasping for breath to find mysheets covered in sweat. It wasonly a bad dream. I was sorelieved that one of my favoritelocations at MSU was not a deathtrap. Whew!

On Movies‘Captain Phillips’

by Alex NelsonStaff Writer

In the year 2009, the cargo shipMV Maersk Alabama washijacked by Somali pirates whoalso took the captain of the ship,Richard Phillips, hostage.

“Captain Phillips” stars TomHanks, Catherine Keener,

Barkhad Abdi, Faysal Ahmed,Barkhad Abdirahman, Mahat M.Ali, and Yul Vazquez. Directed byPaul Greengrass, the movie isbased on the book, “A Captain’sDuty: Somali Pirates, NavySEALs, and Dangerous Days atSea.” It is rated PG-13 for somebloody images, intense sequencesand substance use.

Captain Richard Phillips(Hanks) is the captain of the MVMaersk Alabama who is trans-

porting the ship full of cargo,including relief supplies, acrossthe Somalia Gulf of Aden. OnApril 8, four Somali piratesattempt to, and eventually, hijackthe ship. The pirates, who includethe leader, Muse (Abdi), his right-hand man Najee (Ahmed), boatdriver Elmi (M. Ali) and theyoungest of them, Bilal(Abdirahman), demand that theCaptain give up the cargo andanything of value to them.

After a mixture of events,Phillips is taken hostage by thepirates as they escape the boatthrough the lifeboat. Now it is arace against time as the command-ing officer of the USS Bainbridge,Frank Castellano (Vazquez), getsword of the incident and tries totail the lifeboat until the NavySEALs arrive. Trapped in a smalllocation with the four pirates,Phillips’ chances are thin as hetries to stay alive to return to his

family, which includes his wifeAndrea (Keener).

When this event occurred, Iwas on vacation with my family.We saw the events happening onthe TV news in the hotel. I havenever read the book, nor do Iknow every detail of what hap-pened during that incident. Afriend of mine who saw this filmtold me to give it a try and so Idid. I am familiar with director

To my horrid surprise, the

others there casually, but quickly,picked up her lifeless body andtossed it in a hidden door at thebase of the wall. Another persondiscarded her possessions at theentrance and then reattached therope to the auto-belay machine. Inseconds, every trace of that poorgirl was gone. Even her bloodfaded into obscurity upon theaptly colored red mats.

In the following weeks, I sawseveral other freshmen meet thesame fate, and each time they van-ished through that hidden door. Itried to see what secrets lay

behind it, but I could not open thedoor.

And it was at this moment thatit all changed again. I woke upgasping for breath to find mysheets covered in sweat. It wasonly a bad dream. I was sorelieved that one of my favoritelocations at MSU was not a deathtrap. Whew!

On MoviesʻCaptain Phillipsʼ

by Alex NelsonStaff Writer

In the year 2009, the cargo shipMV Maersk Alabama washijacked by Somali pirates whoalso took the captain of the ship,Richard Phillips, hostage.

“Captain Phillips” stars TomHanks, Catherine Keener,

Barkhad Abdi, Faysal Ahmed,Barkhad Abdirahman, Mahat M.Ali, and Yul Vazquez. Directed byPaul Greengrass, the movie isbased on the book, “A Captain’sDuty: Somali Pirates, NavySEALs, and Dangerous Days atSea.” It is rated PG-13 for somebloody images, intense sequencesand substance use.

Captain Richard Phillips(Hanks) is the captain of the MVMaersk Alabama who is trans-

porting the ship full of cargo,including relief supplies, acrossthe Somalia Gulf of Aden. OnApril 8, four Somali piratesattempt to, and eventually, hijackthe ship. The pirates, who includethe leader, Muse (Abdi), his right-hand man Najee (Ahmed), boatdriver Elmi (M. Ali) and theyoungest of them, Bilal(Abdirahman), demand that theCaptain give up the cargo andanything of value to them.

After a mixture of events,Phillips is taken hostage by thepirates as they escape the boatthrough the lifeboat. Now it is arace against time as the command-ing officer of the USS Bainbridge,Frank Castellano (Vazquez), getsword of the incident and tries totail the lifeboat until the NavySEALs arrive. Trapped in a smalllocation with the four pirates,Phillips’ chances are thin as hetries to stay alive to return to his

family, which includes his wifeAndrea (Keener).

When this event occurred, Iwas on vacation with my family.We saw the events happening onthe TV news in the hotel. I havenever read the book, nor do Iknow every detail of what hap-pened during that incident. Afriend of mine who saw this filmtold me to give it a try and so Idid. I am familiar with director

The story is about a warlock searching for his truelove. Brockell will play the love interest of the war-lock. Through a series of events, she is put under alove spell. Most of the skating coaching staff will par-ticipate in the production, as well as a few hockeyrecruits and members of her program.

Brockell, a junior majoring in InternationalBusiness and Spanish with a concentration in Healthand Wellness, will graduate in spring 2015. She saidshe really loves skating. She started taking skatinglessons when she was five years old because herolder sister used to skate and she wanted to be justlike her. She fell in love with skating and still skatesand competes, hoping to make it a career.

Brockell plans to continue skating after she com-pletes her degree, turn professional and skate inshows that will take her all over the world. She prac-tices five to six days a week, but with the show com-

ing up, she now practices every day.The skater said that this Halloween musical will

be a great show for the whole family and, that nomatter how old you are, you will certainly be enter-tained.

Page 8 – October 24, 2013 Red & GreenNewsGreengrass’ works such as “TheBourne Ultimatum” and“United 93,” both of which aregood films. He does a good jobdirecting this film as well.

Tom Hanks, in my opinion,turns in a well-done perform-ance as the captain who is takenhostage. You can see that he isnot trying to be a hero, only try-ing to get his crew safe and tryto survive as well. Surprisingly,the four actors who play thepirates do a great job. I remem-ber reading that they were non-professional actors and“Captain Phillips” is their firstcredited role.

Barkhad Abdi as the pirateleader is impressive at portray-ing the man as menacing anddesperate to succeed in hisgoals, but at the same time therewas this sense that he was not atrue monster. I especially

enjoyed the scenes that hadHanks and Abdi together as tome it felt like a battle of witsbetween the two men. It is pret-ty intense in some scenes as,even though you know whatmight happen, you don’t knowspecifically what will occur.

Which reminds me, the onething I have a problem with isthat I do not know all thespecifics of the events that tookplace, and I may not be the onlyone. Some people might ques-tion the authenticity of the filmand others would probablyargue with each other on what isfact or fiction. Of course, thismovie is only based on a truestory, so a few things may bealtered. Despite this, I did in factenjoy the movie not only forstory, but for the impressive act-ing by the cast.

I personally rate “CaptainPhillips” 4 out of 5 Beavers.

The North Dakota StudentAssociation (NDSA) is the state-wide governing body for collegestudents across North Dakota.Minot State University’s StudentGovernment Association (SGA)takes an active role in NDSA.

The first meeting of this schoolyear was in September at NorthDakota State University (NDSU).Members addressed several issuesincluding a revised mission state-ment, the proposed creation of aChief of Staff Position and amotion to support a nationalmovement to make Martin LutherKing Jr. Day a national day of serv-ice. They intend to do this latter bybringing it to the 11 state-fundeduniversities to implement on theircampuses.

The final formal motion dealtwith the Pathways to StudentSuccess Plan (PSS). PSS is a livingdocument, which means the StateBoard of Higher Education (SBHE)can still vote to make changes to

the document it passed last year.The PSS caused controversybetween the SBHE and studentpopulation because of a lack of stu-dent input into a document thatwould directly affect current andnew college students. Over thepast year, the SBHE revised thepathways to reflect student needsmore acutely.

The motion passed by NDSA,SLAC 01-1314, states in short: “TheNorth Dakota Student Associationstrongly recommends that theState Board of Higher Educationand the North Dakota UniversitySystem does not implement thePathways to Student Success Planuntil the impacts on enrollment,student services, educational valueand the general quality of studentlife are well researched.”

The motion goes on to say: “TheNorth Dakota Student Associationexpresses a strong willingness tocollaborate with the State Board ofHigher Education and the NDUSregarding Pathways to StudentSuccess Plan. Therefore, be it fur-

ther resolved, that the NorthDakota Student Association shallmake this a lobbying goal.”

The NDSA has several ways tomeet lobbying goals. One isthrough our student member onthe SBHE, Devin Hoffarth, who is avoting member. NDSA also has alobbyist who is active during thelegislative session and during thetime between sessions.

MiSU has seven voting mem-bers: The director of state affairsserves as head delegate. Other vot-ing members consist of SGA mem-bers and any other MiSU studentswho are interested in attending incase not enough SGA members canattend. These students and the restof the NDSA assembly meet once amonth at different universitiesthroughout the year. The nextmeeting is Oct. 25-26 at theUniversity of North Dakota inGrand Forks.

For more information on stu-dent activity at the state level, visitthe SGA Office located on the sec-ond floor of the Student Center.

“Take back the night is anawareness event to get the wordout about crimes of violence; likedomestic violence and sexualassault,” an anonymous domesticviolence survivor said. “It’s toencourage people to come andspeak out about how sexualassault or domestic violence hasimpacted their lives.”

Volleyball scuffles at home

By Jamin HellerStaff Writer

The Minot State University Beavers vol-leyball team was unable to convert homecourt advantage into success two weeksago, dropping a pair of matches to toughconference opponents. The Beavers fell toNo. 2 ranked Minnesota Duluth in straightsets Oct. 11 before suffering a four set defeatat the hands of St. Cloud State on Oct. 12.

The Beavers got off to a strong start onFriday, but UMD’s offensive precisionproved too tough in a 25-19, 25-16, 25-12victory. Minot was actually able to jump outto an early 10-7 lead and hang tight with theBulldogs for most of the first set, until amedley of MSU errors helped UMD go on a7-2 run to close out the set for the earlyadvantage

The Beavers were unable to get on trackthe rest of the match, committing 11 errorsin set two and seven in set three. Minotstate was outhit .424 to .068 on the night.

Sophomore Mallory Sall and freshmanLauren Dunkle both recorded eight kills forthe Beavers in the losing effort.

Despite the loss, Minot State Head coachTravis Ward saw some good things in histeam’s effort.

"Hats off to Duluth," Ward told MSUsports information. "They executedextremely well tonight. They forced us intosituations that put a lot of pressure on us asa team, and when you've got a good teamlike that against you, it's tough to win.

"We passed really well and we were ableto run three options out of our offense. Wedid a nice job setting our middles early inthe match, but then we saw UMD reallypick away at that," he said.

The Beavers were then tripped up 25-19,25-14, 23-25, 25-15 by St. Cloud State the fol-lowing afternoon.

Sall once again continued her strongplay, picking up a match-high 17 kills.Teammate Jen Dixon chipped in with 11kills, while Whitney Hightower led theteam with 17 digs. The Beavers won theonly set in which they outhit the Huskies,but were unable to gain any consistentoffensive attack throughout the match.

Last weekend the Beavers traveled to theUniversity of Minn. Crookston and lost, 0-3.The next day they defeated Bemidji State, 3-0, at Bemidji.

On Tuesday, the Beavers were at theUniveristy of Mary in Bismarck. Resultswere not known at press time.
