    sources that N. Dak farmerswould like to grow hemp as acrop, but are unable to due to thefederal government not allowingit, even though hemp is legal atthe state level in N. Dak.I see no reason why the federal

    government should prosecutehemp growing in North Dakotabecause they allow marijuana tobe grown in Colorado and

    Washington.Law aside, hemp has so little

    THC (the intoxicant in marijuana),a person cannot even get highfrom it. So, if teenagers want tosmoke hemp, I say, “Let 'em.”They may as well be smoking cof-fee grounds, Dock, tree leaves,dead grass or any of the otherthings people try smoking as kidsthat don’t do anything.

    Also, wild hemp, or “ditch-weed,” already grows wild in N.Dak. If hemp was going to causesome huge “dope fiend” situation,it would’ve by now. There is noreason to outlaw a legitimate cropjust because it contains minuteamounts of an illegal substance. Itis not common sense and it hurtsbusiness.The federal law against hemp

    is a mindless law, because it ismore “going by the book” thanactually using good judgment,and shouldn’t all of our laws bebased in good judgment ratherthan technicalities?The law is the law, and people

    should respect the law, but lawsshould be sensible and not insultthe intelligence of the citizenry.

    On Movies‘The Equalizer ’

    by Alex NelsonStaff Writer

    When the odds are against you,who do you call? That is whereRobert McCall comes in, betterknown as “The Equalizer.” Themovie stars Denzel Washington,Marton Csokas, Chloe GraceMoretz, David Harbour, BillPullman and Melissa Leo. It isdirected by Antoine Fuqua andrated “R” for strong language andstrong violence.Robert McCall (Washington)

    seems like an ordinary person. Heworks at a hardware store wherehe is friends with his coworkersand also friends with a young girlnamed Alina (Grace Moretz).However, deep down beneath thehappy attitude and friendlydemeanor, Robert is a former blackops operative who had enough of

    that lifestyle and is trying to live apeaceful life. That is about tochange when he learns that Alinais a victim of the sex traffickingthat is run by the Russian Mafiaand she has been badly injured bya few of their members.Robert decides to confront the

    people responsible and do whathe does best. He does not stopthere as he constantly sees evilacts wherever he goes and decidesto help those who cannot defendthemselves. Unfortunately, Robertis told by his friends Susan (Leo)and Brian (Pullman) that theRussian Mafia has sent an enforcerknown as Teddy (Csokas) who isallied with a crooked cop, Frank(Harbour), to find and deal withhim.Robert is about to show them

    all that sooner or later their acts ofcrime will end as he becomes TheEqualizer.I never knew that “The

    Equalizer” was based on a TVshow from the 1980s. Then again,

    with so many films based onbooks and other TV shows, it isnot hard to believe. It seems like awhile ago since Antoine Fuquadirected “Olympus Has Fallen,”another action thriller film. With“The Equalizer,” the explosionsare turned down a notch, howeverthe action and violence are stillthere. Also we see the reunion of

    Fuqua and Washington, who pre-viously worked together in“Training Day.” It seems that wecan’t get enough of Denzel,whether he is the crooked copfrom “Training Day” or the foot-ball coach from “Remember theTitans.” He doesn’t disappoint usas he plays the ordinary, quiet,friendly man who, deep down, is askilled killer who can use any-thing as a weapon.I was rooting for him every

    time he confronted a criminal inthe film. Although it bothered mea little bit that we don’t get a hugeback-story for the character he

    plays. I was left with some ques-tions about him. Then again, itsuits his character as he is anunknown vigilante who helpspeople who are in need. It wasalso chilling that Denzel couldplay a kind, happy person in oneminute, then become a hardenedkiller the next.Chloe Grace Moretz also does a

    great job in this film. It is some-times hard to forget that sheplayed the violent costume hero,Hitgirl, from the “Kick Ass”series. This time around she playsthe friend to the main hero whotries to help her in the film. I willadmit she wasn’t in the film awhole lot and I wish we got to seemore of her, though her characteris the main reason Denzel picks afight with the mobsters and thosewho do crime.The scenes she is in with

    Denzel are great, as I got the feel-ing that they work well with oneanother. With every hero theremust be a villain, and that is

    where Csokas comes in as thesociopathic Teddy. While Russianvillains in films are nothing new,Csokas’ performance managed tofrighten me and made me wonderwhat he was going to do. He couldbe polite at first, but then be brutaland threatening to whoever hewas with.The film is violent, as Denzel

    finds interesting ways to disposeof his enemies. Definitely not forpeople who dislike blood andgruesome ways to die. I havenever seen the original TV show,so I couldn’t tell if it stayed true tothe original or not. Some peoplemight even compare “TheEqualizer” to the marvel charac-ter, “The Punisher.” Then again,movies about taking out bad guysare nothing new.Overall the action sequences

    and the performance from the castmake this movie worth a try. I per-sonally rate “The Equalizer” 4 outof 5 Beavers.

    drive, willingness and ability tomake it onto the professional stage,we all respect you, but that's notwho this article is pointed at. Whilesome athletes start on that road,things change but some things staythe same. We will always love thesport even if we do not sacrifice ourlife to playing the sport. I respect,admire and pray for the success ofathletes I know whose dream it isto make a living off a sport, but Iknow that's not my dream.This article is pointed at the ath-

    letes who have sacrificed and giventheir all to a sport; yet know the bit-ter-sweetness of the opportunity toplay is coming to the end. This isfor the athletes who will miss thesport every single day, yet feel con-fident in the road our lives havetaken us. Those who painfullyregret nothing and succeed inanother facet of life, yet we willalways be that monster on thecourt, field or pitch in our ownminds and bring that intensity anddrive in other ways.The life of the college athlete is

    both exciting and challenging; ithas its advantages and its draw-backs – and most athletes wouldn'tchange a thing. Athletes get to trav-el with a group almost as close as,or closer than, family, play thesport that makes them feel invinci-ble and elevated (and so manyother emotions), all while workingtoward a degree that will helpshape them into better prospects intheir future endeavors.However, the mental toughness

    According to the NationalCenter for Education Statistics,there were about 21 million collegestudents enrolled at the beginningof this semester. According to theAthletic Association, there were517,849 athletes participating in col-lege athletics in 2,058 schools acrossthe United States in 2012.According to a 2013 NCAA study,there were 1,086,627 high schoolathletes in the sport of footballalone. In that same study, an aver-age of 5.4 percent of high schoolathletes go on to play in the NCAAand an average of .14 percent ofhigh school athletes make it profes-sionally in their given sports (high-er or lower, based on the sport). Inmy own calculations, only about 2.5percent of college students are ath-letes.With those numbers on the

    table, there are three things I canconclude. Kids need to stay inschool ... Just kidding. I wouldnever deter someone from follow-ing his or her dreams no matterwhat statistics say. In all serious-ness, I can say that playing collegesports is both a wonderful privi-lege and a character-testing chal-lenge, that most of the .14 percentof these once-upon-a-time highschool students play for the love ofthe game and that the grave reali-ties and adversity for these studentathletes make them better thanaverage in life.For those athletes that have the

    By now the term ISIS hasbecome a household name.Every time you turn on thenews or log on to Facebook orcheck Twitter, you are bound tosee something involving thisnew terror cell. ISIS or ISIL hastaken over nearly every aspectof the news and social mediaaround the world and, for me,the questions that pop into mymind every time I hear aboutthem is who are they and whyshould I care?The Islamic State in Iraq and

    Syria or Levant (ISIS, ISIL) is asplinter group from al-Qaeda,I’m sure everybody remembersthem. ISIS’ plans are to create anIslamic state in the Sunni areas

    of Iraq and Syria, and they aredoing this by mass executions,public crucifixions and othermethods of instilling terror.Their ways of going about

    being terrorists are so extreme, al-Qaeda officially denounced themlast February. Keep in mind, al-Qaeda had no problem flyingplanes full of innocent people intothe Twin Towers.As of now, several countries

    including the United States havestarted airstrikes against ISIS anda debate about sending troops intoIraq – again – has sprung up. Thisis where things get difficult for theU.S.We spent more than a decade

    of combat operations in that area,and it wasn’t the most popularwar we’ve conducted. As the say-

    ing goes, “It’s easy to convincesomeone to go to war; the hardpart is convincing them to goback.”When I was a young, active

    duty Marine fresh out of bootcamp, all I wanted to do wasdeploy to Iraq or Afghanistan and“get some.” After coming backfrom a support role in the MiddleEast and humanitarian aide/train-ing in Africa, the Global War onTerror had pretty much endedand I left the military. Every time Iread or hear something abouttroops being sent back to Iraq Ithink about my friends who arestill on active duty, and I don’t likethe thought of them deployingwithout me. I think most servicemembers feel the same waybecause we’re selfish like that.

    are placing Act I in AleshireTheater and Act II in the BlackBox Theater,” she said. “There aretwo different locales called for inthe script, so I decided to have theaudience move from one space toanother during intermission.”If you haven’t seen one, Black

    Box productions are downrightimmersive, often requiring moreingenuity in the setting due to thesmall space. It’s intimate, and

    also the reason seating for theshow is somewhat limited.Reservations are encouraged.Still, it’s hard to think of a betterway to watch Carnelle unfold as “a lost soul, searching for a truemeaning in life.” But for those ofyou too bogged down in existen-tial crises to withstand any morefictional heartbreak, here’s aspoiler. There is a happy ending.“My favorite scene is the final

    scene after everything calmsdown,” Smith said, “and

    Carnelle, Popeye and Delmountare looking up at the sky enjoyingthe moment. It brings a sense ofcalmness to the previous chaos.”The show is free for MSU stu-

    dents, faculty and staff with cur-rent MSU ID. This is a $5 generaladmission production with limit-ed seating. For tickets, contact thebox office at 858-3172. Again,reservations are strongly encour-aged. Direct questions to Smith,858-3865 or [email protected].

  • of pushing your body almost everyday to be better isn't a natural phe-nomenon. Missing out on a sociallife due to practices every night,some mornings on the weekend,and given morning fitness sessionsduring the week isn't easy.The realization that your best

    isn't good enough sometimes isn'teasy. No one ever explained howtough this life was, injuries and sac-rifices galore. At the end of the day,these trials and tribulations makeus a stronger person, and not justphysically.While winning is the number

    one aspiration of these athletes, thelessons embraced along the way arethe real reward. The experience isthe real drive, not the end goal.Most student athletes, while theidea of going pro seems ideal, aren'trealistically planning on moving onto the next level, but I can personal-ly say it's far from all for nothing.We love the game, and play for thelove of the game. Not for anyone.Not for ourselves.Every athlete is different, and I

    can't speak for every one of us, but Ican say I learned self-confidence,self-worth, discipline, focus, charac-ter, time management, a grip onreality and the value of hard-workand teamwork.Student athletes may not win all

    the time, be the best athlete on theteam, or have the type of athleticcareer they dreamed of when inhigh school, but student athleteswin at life. They know if they don'tsucceed at something, it's time totry harder. Success isn't easy – win-ning isn't common. Athletes havethe drive to dig deeper. The realitythat excuses don't matter was dis-covered early on. Wasted opportu-nity is a wasted life. We think a lit-tle more cutthroat, but that's thenature of sports. Balancing school,practice and a faint excuse for asocial life is the everyday struggle.This is life in general, but I wouldsay a reality many people don'texperience until later on. Athletesare ahead of the game.I have had my fair share of

    defeats. I've failed many times, haddoubts, but pushed forward any-way. I'm by no means the most tal-

If I don't believethat I could be any of those things, Iwouldn't even have a chance of suc-ceeding. When I have doubts, I putthem to the back of my mind andpush forward no matter what. Thequestion isn't who is going to let me,but who's going to stop me?I'm naturally meek, self-con-

    scious and even self-deprecating attimes, but sports have shaped meinto a person I am still amazed Icould become. That's what being anathlete means to me. It's not thegame itself, but the love of the gamethat has molded me.

    (North Dakota Association ofCounties) — College studentsbusy with classes, tests and sociallives can find it easy to overlookwhat’s going on outside of campuslife. Voting in the upcoming elec-tion is definitely among the moreimportant events coming up, andsomething many students willwant to put on their “to do” list. There are two ways to vote – by

    mail or in person – and there aregood reasons for each.Voting Absentee/By MailStudents may want to vote

    absentee because they have strongfeelings about candidates or issues“back home” or simply prefer theconvenience of voting by mail. Todo so, simply complete an applica-tion to receive a ballot, which willbe sent by mail. Absentee ballotapplications are available online atvote.nd.gov.Voting in PersonStudents also have good rea-

    sons to prefer voting in person,such as supporting local candi-dates or issues, or simply to havethe experience of stepping into avoting booth to cast their vote.While driving to their home votingprecinct on Election Day is certain-ly an option, for most students,this will mean voting in theprecinct they live in during theschool year.The main thing to remember is

    that voters need to reside in theirprecinct 30 days prior to ElectionDay, and their ID needs to matchup with that address. Most stu-

    dents already have a current state-issued driver’s license or non-dri-ver’s ID. Tribal IDs are also accept-able if they show the current resi-dential address. Students voting in person in

    their college town have twooptions for their ID.Option 1If the college address is tempo-

    rary (moving back home after theschool year) they need to get aStudent Identification Certificatefor voting. This certificate verifiesa dorm or apartment as the resi-dence. The Student ID Certificateis available by logging ontoCampus Connection. The StudentVoting Information link provideseverything needed. A Student IDCertificate is necessary because,unlike a student photo ID, theCertificate includes a residentialaddress.Option 2If the college address is perma-

    nent (not planning to move backhome after the school year) thenthe student needs to update theirstate-issued driver’s license ornon-driver’s ID. State law requiresall drivers update their addresswithin 10 days of moving anyway,and the good news is the driver’slicense update will change yourvoter record, so it’s all done in onestep. This, too, is found atvote.nd.gov.For complete information about

    What college studentsneed to know about votingBenjamin Dubreu

    Student Spotlight ...

    by Anthony JonesComm 281

    Benjamin Dubreu, a Fulbrightteaching assistant, is both facultyand staff at Minot State Universityas he teaches Frenchand also takes classes.He was born in Franceand graduated fromLille University ofScience andTechnology. DubreuHe spent six years inschool in France andattended school in Italyas a foreign exchangestudent. He receivedhis master’s degree in economy,policy science, politics and sociol-ogy.“In France,” he said, “there is

    no way to choose your classes.You pick a package. You cannothave a concentration and you can-not focus on any other subjects. InFrance, you can't say you're aneconomist, but you know theeconomy.”After earning his masters

    degree, he worked as a campaignmanager for a congressman andalso worked in Belgium as a wait-er.“The most difficult part of my

    academic life,” he said, “was theyear after my time as a foreignexchange student. The overseasschooling was very expensive,and I had to work much harder tocatch up. I was in school five daysa week and six hours a day. Theeasiest part of my time in schoolwas my senior year, because I didnot have to work so much.”“In France,” Dubreu said,

    “there are three groups of people:the poor, the middle-class and therich. The poor don't have to payfor school and the governmentpays you to get an education. Themiddle class do not have to payfor school, but they do not getpaid by the government.”When asked where he fell he

    said, “Under the poor category.”“This is why I chose to teach,

    because through teaching I will beable to help those that are in lessersituations.After deciding on teaching,

    Dubreu found a website calledwww.CIEB.es whichoffers a program for inter-national bilingual teach-ing. He said that it washard because most univer-sities wanted a foreignlanguage degree. “French is not my for-

    eign language,” he said.Dubreu said his over-

    all goal is to help childrenwho are in lower situa-

    tions. He supports the RotaryClub, and wants to help kids wholive in shelters. They plan to dothis through a program called“birthday kids,” led by KevinHarmon, the assistant vice presi-dent for enrollment management.Dubreu joined this program twoyears ago.“I wanted to experience some-

    thing else,” he said. “When I goback to France, I will try to workin social services. I’m inspired tohelp people in Lille by changingthe way in which they teach stu-dents.“I have to leave for two years

    before I can do this again,” he saidof being a student who also teach-es. “This program allows me toteach a foreign language overseas,with the added requirement that Imust take two classes.”This is how Dubreu is both a

    student and faculty.

    phone, only bigger. The concert willalso feature steel pans from Trinidad,maracas from Venezuela, drums andthe caxixi (pronounced KA-she-she)from Brazil. The caxixi is a percussioninstrument consisting of a closed bas-ket with a flat bottom filled withseeds.“We have a person who’s going to

    do a traditional snare drum solo,”Veikley said. “Percussion has changeda lot in the last 20 years or so. Whatwe’re doing is what they call worldpercussion, so it’s percussion tradi-tions from lots of different countries.”The ensembles will perform com-

    positions including “Music forBotany” by Jeremy Muller for Maracasand caxixi, and “Socatello” by ThomHasenpflug for the steel pans. Themarimba ensemble will play more tra-ditional pieces like transcriptions ofworks that were originally written fororchestra.
