Submitted articleMinot State University’s Office of

International Programs and theMinot office of theUnited States PostalService are sponsor-ing their fifth pass-port drive on Nov.15 in the MulticulturalCenter, first floor of theStudent Center, 3 - 6:30 p.m.The objective of the passportdrive is to offer an easy and conven-ient way for American students, fac-ulty, staff and community membersto apply for a passport book or thenew passport card. The event is oneof many activities planned on theMSU campus in celebration ofInternational Education Week

International Education Week,Nov. 12-16, is a nation-wide effort toprepare Americans for a global envi-ronment and attract future leadersfrom abroad to study, learn andexchange experiences in the U.S.

“Holding a passport drive istwofold: first to make it a quick andsimple process for students, faculty,staff and the community, and sec-ond, to raise awareness of interna-tional travel in general,” LibbyClaerbout, director of internationalprograms, said. “Holding a passportis the first step to embarking uponan international experience.”

The OIP and USPS started plan-ning passport drives after the U.S.Department of Homeland Securitymade it mandatory to show a pass-port when traveling between theUnited States and Canada, Mexicoand other places in Latin America,effective June 2009.

In response to requests from bor-der communities for a less expen-sive, more portable alternative to

Beavers NSIC champions,now on to regionals

Jamie CouncilStaff Writer

Instead of planningwhat to do when season isover, the Minot StateUniversity women’s soc-cer team (15-3-3) is plan-ning the design of itschampionship ring. TheBeavers won the NorthernSun IntercollegiateConference (NSIC) tour-nament with a 1-0 victoryover Winona State, secur-ing an automatic bid intothe NCAA DII NationalTournament.

The final game tookplace on Sunday inMankato, Minn. againstthe Mavericks. The gamestarted off with both teamspressuring. Winona start-ed to get some momentumin the first-half, but thegame was scoreless at half-time. Coach Jason Spainmade some adjustments togenerate a goal and over-come Winona’s dominat-ing midfield.

“Their midfield waspretty strong, so we addeda holding mid,” Spainsaid. “The shots that theywere taking from the 20they were then takingfrom the 30, so it workedout pretty good.”

The plan worked per-fectly. The Beavers struckin the 68th minute assophomore Emilie Rebelocollected the ball ondefense and hit a penetrat-ing ball up the left flank ofthe pitch. Junior Jamie

Macfarlane beat theWinona defenders to theball and dribbled it all theway to the goal line beforehitting a driven cross tothe top of the six-yard box.The cross connected withsophomore Zoë Fisherputting the ball in the ballof the net to give Minot a1-0 lead.

“It was just what weneeded to win, she said.”

Minot switched up thegame plan once again intoa more defensive forma-tion. The score remainedstagnant until the end ofregulation time, givingMinot its first-ever NSICtournament champi-onship.

The road to the cham-pionship game was almosta bigger feat than thegame itself. It all startedon Wednesday night whenthe Beavers took on theirrivals, the University ofMary Marauders.

Minot State lost to theMarauders at the begin-ning of the season.However, the Beaverscame to play onWednesday night. Theytook the game by force,picking apart Mary’s backline, dominating in themidfield,and not allowingany chances on defense.The Beavers were up 1-0 athalf with the goal comingfrom Fisher. Senior TaraMcPartland added anoth-er one in the second half

International Film Series:‘Señorita Extraviada’

Anthony AndersonStaff Writer

The Minot State UniversityInternational Film Series willconclude for the year on Tuesday,Nov. 13, with the Spanish-lan-guage film, “SeñoritaExtraviada” [“Missing YoungWoman”]. Senior Amy Olson, aSpanish and public relations dou-ble-major, subtitled the film aspart of her senior project.“It’s a documentary by

Lourdes Portillo, who isMexican-American,” Olson said.“It centers on the city of CiudadJuárez, which is right across theborder from El Paso. In that city,since 1993, there have been a real-ly high number of women whohave gone missing or have beenmurdered.”The 2001 film, first aired on

the Discovery Channel in LatinAmerica, explores the abductionsand the disturbing lack of an offi-cial response to them.Most of the women have

worked in maquiladoras, duty-free factory zones situated closeto the border that produce con-sumer goods for export abroad.“It’s probably a mixture of

things” causing the abductions,Olson said.According to Olson, one of

those reasons may be the drugcartels active in the area. Anothermay be NAFTA, the NorthAmerican Free Trade Agreement.Enacted in 1994, NAFTA was the

Olson

catalyst for the manufacturing

industry in Juárez.There have been very few

arrests in connection with theabductions, and zero convictions.Several of the individuals arrest-ed have been men employed asbus drivers for the maquiladoras,transporting workers to and fromthe factories each day.Since 1993, the bodies of more

than 250 women have been dis-covered in the desert aroundJuárez, many of whom were tor-tured or sexually assaulted.Though the local authorities havenot released any official figures,Olson says that some estimatesreach much higher. As many as5,000 women may have beenabducted from the area.Olson said she first discovered

the film in class.“In one of my Spanish classes,

we touched on it just barely, and Iwas really interested in learningmore about it,” Olson said.“Everyone under Comm Artsdoes a senior project. I wantedsomething that would combinemy Spanish major and publicrelations major.”Olson said the translating

process takes time and effort –pausing every few seconds towrite down a line, rewinding toclarify as need be.“The Spanish dialogues are all

very different,” she says. “TheMexican dialogue is really rapid.

And, then, you have the slang …I’d call it an exercise in patience,

but good practice.”“Señorita Extraviada” will

screen at 7:30 p.m. in AleshireTheater. Olson will introduce thefilm, and lead a brief discussionafterwards.

through mid-September is when Ihave to practically wear a gasmask when I go outside. One ofthe most common causes of aller-gies is the plant known as"Ragweed."

Ragweed belongs to theAmbrosia group of plants and isin the same family as dandelionsand garden lettuce. Two varieties

of the plant grow in NorthDakota, common ragweed orAmbrosia artemisiifolia L. andgiant ragweed, also calledAmbrosia trifidia L. Both varietiesproduce dusty green spiky flow-ers that emit pollen into the airthat causes an intense irritation ofthe respiratory tract. Less well-known is that both plants also

produce a cure for allergies intheir pollen as well, and accordingto the book, "A Field Guide ToMedicinal Plants and Herbs OfEastern and Central NorthAmerica Second Edition," bySteven Foster and James A. Duke,both species of ragweed are har-vested for their pollen, which ismade into allergy medications.

I remember watching a videoby Frank Cook, a well-knownherbalist, where he discusses thefact that ragweed possesses anantihistamine which is responsi-ble for the anti-allergy effect of theplant when it is properly adminis-tered medicinally, rather than justbeing inhaled.

On Horticulture

Ward LamonStaff Writer

Gonna be brutally honest withyou: when I went into the week ofHalloween, I was going in withthe mindset that I would finish upa former interview and have itpublished by now. Unfortunatelyfor my well-laid plans, that wassoon dashed to pieces when Iawoke to an alarming piece ofnews Tuesday morning of Oct. 30.Owl City’s Adam Young andCarly Rae Jepsen had just beensued. I’ll allow you a briefmoment here to reach the properlevel of infuriation.

Great, now we can move on!You have probably heard of theduo’s single, “Good Time.” It isyour typical catchy pop song; it

serves as a great poppy follow-upto Jepsen’s, “Call Me Maybe,” andit also is most likely still stucksomewhere in the back of yourhead ever since its release date ofJune 26 this year. Personally, I wasslightly dismayed by the fact thatthe song lacked Young’s signaturepoetic lyrics. Nonetheless, it was asure-fire hit from the get go … butwas it truly the first of its kind?

Allyson Nichole Burnett, asinger-songwriter from Alabama,sued Adam Young and Carly RaeJepsen, along with several pub-lishing companies and performingrights groups as well, in a copy-right infringement lawsuit thatwas filed in a California federalcourt. Apparently, she believes thesong is just too close in sound toher single, “Ah, It’s A Love Song,”that she released back in 2010.

What grounds does she have toback up her claim? Eriq Garner, of

the Hollywood Reporter coverssome of the details in Billboard’sstory, “Carly Rae Jepsen, OwlCity's Adam Young Sued forAlleged 'Good Time' Theft”:“According to the complaint, thehook in Burnett's song is a ‘uniquevocal motif’ that is repeatedthroughout the song and ‘has acatchy pop vibe that both drawspeople in and sticks in people'sheads.”

Garner goes on to reveal somemusical specifics as mentioned inthe complaint, “Burnett's song isin the key of F while "Good Time"is in the key of E flat, but othershared features are noted, includ-ing an identical pitch sequence (5-3-5-3-2), melodic contour (down,up, down, down), rhythmic con-struction (8th rest, 8th note, 8thnote, 8th note, 8th note, 8th rest,quarter note), timbre (textlessvocals) and so forth.”

Upon listening to the song, themost obvious similarity is foundin both songs’ “Ohhh …” parts.The main thing about those catchy“Ohhh …” ingredients used in somany other songs today is that itcaters to simplicity. Look atZombie Nation’s “Kernkraft 400,”or Britney Spears’ “Till the WorldEnds,” or even Ke$ha’s “DieYoung.” While those representsome variety, they all prove thesame point about dance-floor ori-ented songs found all over the popmusic world: less is more.

Rather than complicate thingswith some complex lyrical night-mare by composing the next workof Shakespeare, today’s pop artistsfind that they can easily sufficewith an “Ohhh …” section. In thisway, regardless if the song haseven been heard, everyone can“sing” along. It also helps makethe song easier to learn thus

becoming further engrained intolisteners’ heads. There’s a reasonthe catchiest songs are always thesimplest in composition.

Back to the matter at handthough. In Burnett’s official com-plaint, she includes that, “manyconsumers may incorrectlyassume that Burnett copied herown Original Motif from theInfringing Songwriters due to thewidespread popularity and publi-cation of 'Good Time.' Burnett'sreputation as an independentartist will be significantly dam-aged by such incorrect assump-tions.”

While this lawsuit seems some-what shocking, there have beenseveral more incidents where orig-inal artists are suddenly overshad-owed by someone bigger takingcredit for something they have

Elections are finally over(hopefully, we have a president).This equates to no more politicalcampaign ads -- or does it?

What was it with the negativead campaigning this year? Can’tpoliticians simply state what theystand for, instead of what theopposing candidates (s) stand (s)for? Wouldn’t it be easier in thenext off-year election for cam-paign ads to simply state whattheir candidate stand for? I thinkso.

This year, we were bombarded

Political CornerMoney makes their world go round, not ours

with a smorgasbord of negativead campaigns. I don’t think Iwould be telling a lie if people gota little sick over these commer-cials this election season. It wasfun at first to view these commer-cials, but after a few weeks of non-stop bickering, it became one ofmy pet peeves.

One night last week, I saw fiveconsecutive campaign commer-cials. And yes, the majority of thecommercials took a negativestance. If I remember correctly, thecommercials were in relation tothe Heitkamp/Berg campaign.

According to the article; “2012Campaign-Ad Spending Poised toSmash 2008 Record” by ReidWilson, featured in the National

In the next off-year election, Ihope we can see more positive adsfor both the House and Senateraces.

Burn Before ReadingWhen I was in kindergarten ...

Jordan CrawfordStaff Writer

When I went to kindergarten itwas a great time of change in mylife. I had just moved to a newcity. That meant new friends, newhome and, unfortunately, newrules.

I wanted to go to kindergarten.I wanted to experience a life thatseemed to be reserved for theolder and more mature people. Iwanted to become more than achild. My hopes soared high andmy dreams were great. Only afterI began did I realize how lost myhope was among the clouds. Onlythen did my nightmares begin.

At first, the new world wasamazing and full of wonder. Allseemed perfect and everyone washappy; however, that was when Isaw the first clue of what was tocome. One time the teachercaught Jimmy drinking from ajuice box and she became irate.

She snatched the juice box fromhis little hands, grabbed him bythe ear and dragged him to theprincipal’s office. A short whilelater Jimmy came back. His headhung low, but you could stillmake out the redness around hiseyes. He told us how the principalhad said that no one was allowedto drink juice in school because itmade us hyper and giggly.

“They even took away my milkmoney for today, so that I wouldbe forced to drink only water,”Jimmy said as he cried softly.

Another time I had a crush on agirl one year ahead of me. I knowthat was ambitious, but I was akindergartener now. I was a bigboy! One day we were hangingout in my classroom after school. Ithought it was fine; how could Ipossibly be breaking any rules?But I was. The principal, who waswalking by, saw us and came in toruin my day. He told me that I wasnot allowed to hang out with girls

after school. I pleaded with him,saying that there was hardly anytime during school to hang out.This cry fell upon deaf ears. Heinformed me that if I did thisagain I would not be able to hangout with my friends, even duringschool hours. My friend left and Isat down, defeated.

Not one minute later the prin-cipal stormed back in angrily ask-ing why I had not escorted herout. I was perplexed. I exclaimed,“She’s my friend, not a criminal.And doesn’t the school have cam-eras anyway?” He gave me a lookof derision and walked away.

Kindergarten was not what Ihad hoped it to be. I now knowmy dreams of freedom were mere-ly shadows in the mist. But theworst part about it all is this: Eventhough I have graduated fromhigh school, I am in kindergartennow. And the MSU HousingOffice wouldn’t have it any otherway.

‘It's not enough to speak, but to speaktrue’ (to script, that is)

Photo by Daniel KlingensmithMSU students (from the left) Grant Johnson, Chris Pitner and Cole Anderson rehearse for the“Freshman 10” theater production by studying their scripts for the play, “Sitting.”

Daniel KlingensmithStaff Writer

On Nov. 15-17, the Black BoxTheater in Hartnett Hall will hostfour 10-minute plays performedonly by freshmen and transferstudents, reasonably titled, "TheFreshmen 10."

The students also write theplays; but the trick is each studenthas to direct a play that anotherstudent wrote. The casts will getonly eight rehearsals over eightdays.

Plays include “Sitting,” writ-ten by Daniel Johnson, directedby Grant Johnson, with ChrisPitner and Cole Anderson. The

play is about two young men sit-ting, talking about the intricaciesof their world.

“The rule of thumb is to have10 hours of rehearsal for every 10minutes of performance," stu-dent-director Grant Johnsonnoted. “That leaves these guyswith a tight schedule.”

“It really forces the actors tofocus on the play, and immersethemselves in the acting,"Anderson said.

Anderson believes there aregood reasons for each play to beso short.

off a Fisher corner. Mary blasted aball from the top on the goal boxthat hit net, but the game ended ina 2-1 victory for Minot State.

After the win, there was hardlyany time to celebrate. The teamshowered, hopped on a bus, andleft town that night for Mankato,Minn. to take on the #3 nationallyranked team, the MankatoMavericks, on Friday.

The Beavers came into thatgame confident, and with a quirkygame plan to be able to competewith the Mavericks’ athleticism.

“We’re good at pressing, andMankato expected us to press,”Spain said. “I wanted to throw acurve ball at them. We compressedthe space and only defended fromthe 35 and in. [Mankato is] big andathletic and one of the best teamsin the country.”

The Beavers played in a defen-sive formation. Not a single playercrossed the half way line unless itwas a select time to pressure theirdefense. There weren’t any for-wards. However, McPartlandfound the back of the net in the30th minute off a Fisher corner togive the Beavers a 1-0 lead goinginto half.

The Mavericks managed to tieup the match in the 89th minuteoff a questionable goal, forcing thegame into overtime.

“The ball has to be all the wayover the goal line to be a goal andwhat I saw was that it wasn’t,”said senior goalkeeper MarieTorres. "It was really upsetting,but after the game finished, weknew we had to bring it to PKswhere we could beat them.”

After both overtime periodsremained scoreless, a shootoutwas in order. Minot State out-shotMankato 3-2 to move on in thetournament. Senior Lexy Kidd,Rebelo and Fisher made the threePK’s for the Beavers.

It took 110 minutes of defenseand a shootout for the Beavers touproot one of the top teams in thecountry, but the plan worked. TheMavericks out-shot MSU 35-3.Technically, the shootout was onlyfor tournament advancement, but

counts as a tie in both teams’records.

Several Beavers receivedrecognition in the tournament.Fisher was named the tourna-ment’s Most Valuable Playerand on the NSIC/ US BankAll-Tournament team alongwith Kidd, Torres, andMcPartland.

“It’s everything that I’veworked for the last five years,”Kidd said. “It really meanssomething to me to go outwith a bang my senior year.”

This win advances the LadyBeavers on to regionals. MinotState will fly to St. Louis onWednesday to take on theSouthwestern OklahomaBulldogs on Friday. The gamewill be streamed on theInternet. For more informa-tion, visit the NCAA, NSIC ormsubeavers.com, the Beaverathletic page.

This was the Beavers sec-ond time on that same course,and the harriers haveimproved vastly since the RoyGriak Invitational on Sept. 29,in which the women had fin-ished 24th out of 38 teams andthe men 29th out of 36 teams.The competition was high inboth cases and the course wastough, so Melby felt that theydid well under those condi-tions.

“Our women also had abetter team time than last timewe competed on this course,”

Melby said. “Dani [Anderson],Cassie [Sayler], and [sopho-more] Chloe Froehlich eachhad course records and thatwas great to see.”

On Oct. 13, the cross coun-try team raced well at RonPynn Invitational, held inGrand Forks, N.D. Anderson,the first Beaver to cross the fin-ish line for the women’s 5k,came in seventh overall. Saylerfollowed closely, finishing justa place behind Anderson witha personal best of 19:38.

At the same meet, the MSUmen’s team toughed it outwith a collective average of28:33, a season best for the 8k.Junior Brett Szafarski led therace for MSU and finished in10th place, with junior MaxBoeckel and Clay Armstrong,sophomore, not too far behindin 11th and 21st places, respec-tively.
