Dan Smoot in the sixties,wrote a book called “TheInvisible Government.” In thatbook he breaks down how certainpeople within certain organiza-tions, such as the Council OnForeign Relations (CFR), andother global organizations, bothoutside and within the UnitedStates government, are trying toreduce America to just anothersubject to a global socialist gov-ernment.

Basically, he points out howorganizations such as the CFR are

being hijacked by people withless than benevolent plans for theworld.

While it sounds a lot like a“conspiracy theory” to say thatworld government and extremetyranny may soon be knocking atour door, one does not have tolook very far to see the seedlingsof tyranny right here on our ownAmerican soil.

Take the National DefenseAuthorization Act (NDAA) forexample. Under that act,American citizens are no longer

given due process or a fair trial.All it takes is to be a “suspect-

ed” terrorist, and your rights aregone! Of course, that isn’t any-thing new. President Bush issuedthe “Patriot Act” which allowedthe government to spy onAmerican citizens without a war-rant or a trial and basicallybypass our entire legal system.

Another example is the dronesthat Obama has deployedthroughout the world that can beused to kill people—evenAmerican citizens. That’s right,

our government can kill us if itwants to now, if we are even justsuspected of terrorist activity!Judge Andrew Napolitano talkedabout this in a few newscasts.

Another example of the“police state” in America today isthe “War On Drugs.” Drugs areharmful, but they don’t warrantthe police state that’s been creat-ed to “fight” them.

On MoviesʻIdentity Thiefʼ

by Alex NelsonStaff Writer

Have you had those fears ofwhat might happen if your identi-ty was stolen? What kind of chaosmight occur? Well, here is a possi-bility.

“Identity Thief” stars JasonBateman, Melissa McCarthy,Genesis Rodriguez, T.I., AmandaPeet, and Robert Patrick. It isdirected by Seth Gordon and rated“R” for strong language, violenceand sexual references.

Our film begins with SandyPatterson (Bateman) who has anormal life in Denver, Colo., witha normal family including his wife

Trish (Peet) and his two daugh-ters. Everything is going well untilhe learns that his credit cards haveno money on them, and then hewas arrested for a crime he didn’tcommit. Sandy learns that awoman named Diana (McCarthy)had stolen his identity and isusing his name to do whatever shewants. He goes down to Florida sothat she can come with him andadmit her crimes. Easier said thandone, as he realizes that Diana isbeing chased by two criminals,Marisol (Rodriguez) and Julian(T.I.) as well as a disturbed bonds-man only known as Skiptracer(Patrick). With these people ontheir tail, both Sandy and Dianawill have to work together to getto Colorado and clear Sandy’sname. That is, if they can surviveone another.

After hearing some goodthings about this film from mycoworkers and a few customers, Idecided to see it. I have to admitthat I did enjoy it; it reminded meof those buddy comedy films like“Planes, Trains, andAutomobiles.” I have seen filmswith Jason Bateman before, someof them pretty good. I have neverseen a film with Melissa McCarthybefore though. She had been in thefilm “Brides Maids,” but I havenever seen that. The character sheplays in the film was hilarious asshe manages to find a way todeceive people into believing her.She also shows that her characteris more complicated and smarterthan at first glance. The scenesthat featured both Batman andMcCarthy as the two people whohave a long road ahead of them

were actually impressive to me.They had some pretty interestingdialogue with one another and Ithought that they had chemistrywith one another. There weretimes I thought the jokes in thefilm were dry. The actors per-formed them well, it was just thatit felt like the jokes were not exact-ly funny. I cannot tell which jokesor lines because everyone has anopinion on what is funny andwhat is not funny. There wereeven times in the film that I feltthat the scenario that happened inthat scene was not believable orcould never happen. However,this is only a comedy movie andnot a documentary so I can pass atthat problem. Some people mightnot ignore that, or the fact that wedo not get much information onthe “main villain” with the excep-

tion of the characters Rodriguez,T.I. and Patrick play in the filmand their motives for findingSandy and Diana. The movietends to mostly show us the view-point of Sandy and Diana and notthe adversaries. Overall, I enjoyedthis film. In my opinion, bothJason Bateman and MelissaMcCarthy make this film worthwatching and, while it may not befunny as the film, “TheHangover,” I think it is funny inand of itself (though the situationof having your identity stolen isnot that funny). If you don’t wantto be disappointed or think thatyou may or may not enjoy it, thenyou can either wait to rent it or seea different film. Personally, I thinkit is worth the view.

I would rate “Identity Thief” 4out of 5 Beavers.

I am deeply concerned about athreat we face – the threat of globalgovernment. It’s not talked aboutmuch, but it is a very real problem.

It’s a problem that is taking awayour national sovereignty as a coun-try and relinquishing it to interna-tional authorities that don’t have ourbest interests at heart.

were the plans that he has for him-self.

Ever since he graduated with aBA in Architecture from thePolytechnic of Central London,Shirvani has dreamt of buildingmagnificent structures such asRoman forums, Greek temples,and the Volkshalle. He may nothave the money to build theworld’s largest domed structure,but thanks to the state senate,

Shirvani now has enough to buildhis dream home.

When the North Dakota StateSenate approved a bill that gavethe Board of Higher Education anadditional $854,000 to their budg-et to buy out Hamid Shirvani’scontract, they failed to make surethat is where the money would go.When asked if he would use themoney to buy out the chancellor’scontract, the President of the

Board of Higher Education,Duaine Espegard, replied,

“My good friend Hamid ishighly respected, although slight-ly misunderstood. His effortsthus far have been quite fair andunselfish. It is my opinion, andtherefore obviously the opinionof the entire board, that thismoney will not be used to firehim. Instead, I will give him thefunds as a bonus to do with as he

pleases.”And Shirvani does love to

please himself.In a press conference yesterday

afternoon, Shirvani presented hisplans for his new office on theUniversity of North Dakota cam-pus.

Pull out your Members Onlyjacket, dig out that Rubik’s Cubeand grab up your boombox,because we’re like totally goingback to the 1980s, dude. Yes, it’sabout that time when I finally digmy head out of the hole of keep-ing you in the loop with the latestand greatest in music going oncurrently and threw back to an

amazing era for music; the 1980s.Before we begin, however, I’ll goahead and make a general dis-claimer: I was, in fact, born in theearly 1990s, so if I make a crucialdecadal error, I’m just going to goahead and blame it on that fact.

To start off, this will be a verygeneral column, because the 80swere home to some very happen-ing things in music. It was a timewhen musical greats like MichaelJackson, Madonna and WhitneyHouston took over in pop music.

The raddest thing about music

in the 80s is that there were actual-ly these thing called genres. Yes,we obviously have genres todaystill, but “pop music” has seemedto consume so much of all theoriginal genres that we’re left with“pop rock” and “pop rap” and“pop country” and the like. Theoriginal genres still exist, butremain very much set apart fromthe giant that is the pop musicindustry. Things were not so in the80s. No, back then you had genresand plenty of them.

In 80s rock, things skyrocketed

to new, unimagined heights. Youhad a strong decade of good solidrock bands from Guns n’ Roses toAerosmith and even Journey,Foreigner and ZZ Top. Glammetal sprang up with 80s hairbands ranging from Bon Jovi,Europe, Twisted Sister, Queen andDef Leppard. The many genres ofmetal, on a similar note, saw suchnotable bands as Metallica, Slayer,Iron Maiden, Megadeth and JudasPriest.

Turning to hip hop, contempo-rary R&B came forth with huge

names like Prince, Stevie Wonder,Jermaine Jackson, Rick James andEarth, Wind & Fire. Within thesame realm we saw early hip hoplegends like Run DMC, PublicEnemy, LL Cool J, The BeastieBoys and Grandmaster Flash &the Furious Five. These artists notonly “paved the way,” but ratherlaunched forward an entire gener-ation of talented hip hop artists tofollow in their footsteps.

Our lives were not controlledby media like the kids of today.The strength of the Y Generationis also its weakness. Our genera-

Student Spotlight ...

by Jamie CouncilStaff Writer

College students spend theirtime in a variety of ways. Somestudents spend their days playingvideo games, some make thelibrary their second home, whileothers play with dummies. TheMinot State University NursingDepartment invested in eight toten life-like dummies for nursingstudents to get hands-on experi-ence and work on their peopleskills … well, sort of.

These practice dummies havehuman-like features, both visualand anatomical. Some talk. Andsome have the ability to give birth.I’m amazed at what technologycan do these days.

One student in particular istaking full advantage of everyopportunity thrown his way.Minot High 2003 grad and MinotState University junior IanCrawford is on his last semester inthe MSU nursing program.Among Ian’s accomplishments isbeing the MSU Nursing Student ofthe Year and president of theNursing Student Association(NSA). He just finished his term aspresident of the North Dakota

Student Nursing Association(NDSNA).

Ian also has a busy home life.He married right out of highschool at the age of 19. So whatmotivated him to take the difficultpath of nursing at this point of hislife?

“I’ve always enjoyed helpingpeople,” Crawford said.“Growing up, I knew I was eithergoing to go into medicine or min-istry.”

In his early college years,Crawford figured out where hebelonged. He worked as a phle-

botomist, drawing blood in a hos-pital early in his college years.From there, he moved to the ERand saw a different side of medi-cine that he found addicting.

“I had the chance to experiencethe adrenaline rush of traumas,”the student said, “and I gothooked on that adrenaline rush inaddition to getting to care for peo-ple, and for me, the excitement ofcaring for people when they are intheir worse possible states.”

He eventually got his surgicaltech certificate and has been doingthat since 2007. Being a surgicaltech made sense for Crawford atthat point in his life.

“Through life and being mar-ried,” he said, “it just became a sit-uation where I got my surgicaltech and just thought about doingthat for the rest of my life, or for aseason anyways.”

Crawford moved to KansasCity as a surgical tech and helpedmany missions within ministry. Itwasn’t until a couple of years laterthat a life-changing experiencemade him alter his future. In 2010,Crawford had the opportunity togo down to Haiti for disaster care

Mynew HQ will provide a greatplace for my BFF Duaine andme to rewrite university policiesand decide which presidents weconsider to be insubordinate.

photography and video in hismovie, utilizing students andfriends in the endeavor.Bloom received his Master of

FineArts in Painting and Drawingfrom the University of Iowa in2010 and currently teaches fiveclasses at MSU. He put aside hisprevious project, a series of paint-ings titled "interventions," to workcloser on “Codex.”“I’m both director and produc-

er of this film, so I had not onlythe creative and artistic ideas ofwhat to put into this film, but alsothe responsibilities of raising themoney and financing the project,getting the positions and peoplelined up, the props, all those kindsof things,” he said.Bloom explained the film’s title

and message.“A codex is literally the inven-

tion of the book form, bindingwith recto-verso techniques (theuse of both sides of the paper),and is over 2,000 years old. I choseto use that for the title because thepopularity of the e-book is grow-ing immensely as the codex isdropping precipitously. There istalk that the codex will become aspecialty item or something yousee with your grandmother’santique collection. The film car-ries an undertone of death andloss, so that sort of refers to thedeparture from the traditionalform of books.”Bloom created much of the

buzz for his project throughKickstarter.com, a site that acts asa funding platform for innovatorsto pitch their idea to “backers,” ordonors, to help make it a reality.His goal was to raise $3,200. ByDec. 7, 2012, a total of 78 backersfully funded “Codex” and raisedmore than $4,000.“All that extra money has

already been used up, but for agood cause. We were able to com-plete the exhibition and gothrough the final touches for edit-ing,” he said.Since starting the endeavor,

Bloom feels he hasn’t been able tocatch a break.“Soon after the 2011 flood,

bulldozers cleaned the books up;

... Codexcontinued from page 1

some of them were going througha fast-paced degrading process,and the approaching winter was

going to make things difficult forme, so I went to action prettyquickly. I was really moved, so I

had to think of a way to tell thestory best. That’s when I started tolook for students who were avail-able or willing to start on this proj-ect. So it’s right when I came to theschool — within the first coupleweeks of school, actually! NowI’m always on the phone withsomeone about film festivals ormuseums to see where I can show-case ‘Codex.’ It’s very time con-suming but, yes, it’s been veryfruitful.”Bloom said he owes much of

the film’s success to those heworked closest with.“Seventeen students helped me

overall, but there are a few whowere phenomenal. Takuma Abedid a lot of acting and helped withprops, among various otherthings. Max Patzner worked onthe film with me and designed theposters which gave ‘Codex’ itsoverall ‘look’, and Josh Collinsedited parts and composed the

President Fuller Announces Spring 2013Office Hours for Students

photography and video in hismovie, utilizing students andfriends in the endeavor.

Bloom received his Master ofFine Arts in Painting and Drawingfrom the University of Iowa in2010 and currently teaches fiveclasses at MSU. He put aside hisprevious project, a series of paint-ings titled "interventions," to workcloser on “Codex.”

“I’m both director and produc-er of this film, so I had not onlythe creative and artistic ideas ofwhat to put into this film, but alsothe responsibilities of raising themoney and financing the project,getting the positions and peoplelined up, the props, all those kindsof things,” he said.

Bloom explained the film’s titleand message.

“A codex is literally the inven-tion of the book form, bindingwith recto-verso techniques (theuse of both sides of the paper),and is over 2,000 years old. I choseto use that for the title because thepopularity of the e-book is grow-ing immensely as the codex isdropping precipitously. There istalk that the codex will become aspecialty item or something yousee with your grandmother’santique collection. The film car-ries an undertone of death andloss, so that sort of refers to thedeparture from the traditionalform of books.”

Bloom created much of thebuzz for his project throughKickstarter.com, a site that acts asa funding platform for innovatorsto pitch their idea to “backers,” ordonors, to help make it a reality.His goal was to raise $3,200. ByDec. 7, 2012, a total of 78 backersfully funded “Codex” and raisedmore than $4,000.

“All that extra money hasalready been used up, but for agood cause. We were able to com-plete the exhibition and gothrough the final touches for edit-ing,” he said.

Since starting the endeavor,Bloom feels he hasn’t been able tocatch a break.

“Soon after the 2011 flood,bulldozers cleaned the books up;

... Codexcontinued from page 1

some of them were going througha fast-paced degrading process,and the approaching winter was

going to make things difficult forme, so I went to action prettyquickly. I was really moved, so I

had to think of a way to tell thestory best. That’s when I started tolook for students who were avail-able or willing to start on this proj-ect. So it’s right when I came to theschool — within the first coupleweeks of school, actually! Now I’malways on the phone with some-one about film festivals or muse-ums to see where I can showcase‘Codex.’ It’s very time consumingbut, yes, it’s been very fruitful.”

Bloom said he owes much ofthe film’s success to those heworked closest with.

“Seventeen students helped meoverall, but there are a few whowere phenomenal. Takuma Abedid a lot of acting and helped withprops, among various otherthings. Max Patzner worked onthe film with me and designed theposters which gave ‘Codex’ itsoverall ‘look’, and Josh Collinsedited parts and composed the

Blackboard Learn is a fairlynew system at Minot StateUniversity. It is an online sys-tem that allows students to dotheir homework, take tests andcheck their grades online. Notevery teacher uses it, but theones that do have said that it isvery organized and easier thanhanding in homework.

Freshman Krissi Lesmannlikes Blackboard Learn.

“It's really easy to use,” shesaid. “The site is user-friendly,and I haven’t had any troublewith it at all. It’s also nice know-ing I have until midnight on thenight the homework is due tohand it in. Having a job andbeing in college can be hard tojuggle, so it’s nice having a littleextra time.”

One great thing aboutBlackboard is that is enables theinstructor to share notes, powerpoints, or anything else theywant their students to see at anygiven time. Participants say it islike having everything youneed in a classroom right atyour fingertips as you are lyingin bed working on your laptop.Easy contact, easy access.

When doing homework ortests on Blackboard Learn, stu-

dents have to download a lock-down browser that doesn’tallow them to leave that page togo on any other part of theInternet. This obviously helpswith cheating or using theInternet for help. Students saythe browser can be tricky todownload. However, once astudent gets it, the rest of theprocess is a breeze.

Deanna Klein, MSU associ-ate professor of business infor-mation technology, explainedthe process.

“Like any new system, thereare a few bugs to work out but,with great support from ouroffice of instructional technolo-gy, the transition has gonewell!”

Josh Sandy, a sophomoreand member of the MSU trackand field team, likes the pro-gram.

“I think the new BlackboardLearn has a sleek look with awelcomed user-friendliness thatmakes turning in assignmentsfor blended classes convenient,”he said.

All in all, the BlackboardLearn system has been gettinggreat reviews, and students canexpect to use in it in more andmore of their college classes.

New Blackboard system

tion is huge, and yet the drugsare still out there.

Drug addiction has alwaysbeen and always will be a partof human society. That’s justthe way it is, but fightingdrugs is just one of the manyexcuses the government isusing to get into our privatelives.

Radio show host Alex Joneshas talked about the “War onDrugs” in this manner; so haveother people in alternativemedia.

If we are going to fight thisslow, but continuing, stifling ofour human rights, we mustremember what Dan Smootwrote.

“Government can give thepeople nothing that it has notfirst taken away from them.Hence, if man is to remain free,he must have a governmentwhich will play a very limitedand negative role in his privateaffairs.”

We need to recognize thatgovernment oftentimes usescrisis as an opportunity toseize power for itself ratherthan preserve the liberty of thepeople. We also need to startquestioning the true agendaand motives behind things likethe “Patriot Act,” the NDAA,and the “War on Drugs.” Wealso need to realize that cen-tralized power of any kind isdangerous and that govern-ment is best kept local andsmall.

It is through trying to keepgovernment small and localthat we can fight things likeglobalism and federalism andthe tyranny they create.Basically, I just think that somerecent and not-so-recent devel-opments in the political poli-cies of this country pose apotentially serious threat tothe freedoms that we oftentimes take for granted – free-doms that seem to be slowlygoing away and will continueto go away if we don't do any-thing as citizens to protectthem.

Facebook and Twitter have becomelifestyles for the Z Generation.Facebook has become a battlefieldfor this ongoing war between theMillennium and Z generations.Every day on Facebook you'll findmore comments of people arguingover stupid things that get playedthrough the media.

The Y Generation will constantlyput down the Z Generation for beingimmature, lazy and just a downrightdisappointment. Well, while some ofthose hold true, it’s not entirely theirfault. The Z Generation is alsoknown as the Digital Generationbecause they haven't known a lifewithout technology leading the way.Since they were born, they'vebecome accustomed to fast resultsand a vast variety of informationavailable at their fingertips. Ourgeneration was influenced by thingswe discovered through first-handexperience and things that weretaught to us by our parents andgrandparents.

Personally I think the ZGeneration should be called the

Media Generation being they arestill growing and at that point intheir lives where they are so easilyinfluenced. Their lives revolvearound media and whatever televi-sion and Internet has to say to them.Everything they say is true.

In reality, they're not so differentfrom us when we were at their age.The difference is in the quality andquantity of the media shown.Growing up, social media andonline communities were either non-existent or still new, which allowedus to explore other activities likeplaying outside, something the ZGeneration doesn't even recognize.

Every generation is different andit’s important to learn at least a littleabout the attitudes and beliefs ofeach generation as they are whatfuels the changes in society’s opin-ion on matters like religion, war,family values, etc

Once we understand the differ-ences between them, then we can doour duty as the Y Generation andbegin building a smarter and all-around better future for past, pres-ent and future generations.

The final weekend of NSIC wasnot one to remember as the Beaversfell in both games 79-61 and 79-71.MSU was kept at bay in the firsthalf as NSU did not seem to missany shots, especially threes. Goinginto the half, the Beavers foundthemselves down 20. MSU onlyshot 36 percent from the floor andhit seven of 22 three-pointers in thegame.

Skye Warwick did most of thedamage for the Wolves as he made

five of nine three- pointers on hisway to collect 15 total points. NSUleader in points onthis night wasColin Prior, whoposted 16 pointsand eightrebounds. TheWolves shot a totalof 55 percent in the first and 44 per-cent in the second half.

EJ Williams (Jr.) led the Beaverson this night with a total 14 pointsand added three steals. Senior JoshJohnson added nine points and sixrebounds and freshmenDominique McDonald scoredeight.

As for the match-up against theDragons from Minnesota State-Moorhead, the Beavers fell behindby 16 points in the first six minutes

and the Dragons never lookedback.

Minot State battled back thewhole game, but their run fellshort. MSU-M extended their leadto as much as 22 to leave theBeavers in their dust.

The Beavers looked like theywere on the verge of taking a latelead as sophomore Thomas Korfmade two three-pointers andJohnson laid one up to cap a quick8-1 run.

Johnson led Minot State with atotal of 16 points and 10 rebounds.Anthony Enriquez (Sr.) finishedwith 12 points and four rebounds.

The Minot State Universitywomen’s basketball team was inaction two weeks ago as they alsoentered their finalweekend of regularseason NSICConference play.They faced off withthe Northern StateUniversity Wolvesand the MinnesotaState University MoorheadDragons.

For the first game in a longtime, junior Carly Boag actuallylooked merely human. But herteammates made sure that NSUwould not be on the winning sidethis time. Senior Sacarra Molinaand Alisha “Speedy” Jones (Jr.) ledthe Beavers, combining for 31 toallow Minot State to pull away, 60-50. With the win, the Lady Beaversavenged a loss earlier in the sea-

son.Minot State went on a 24-9 run

with 10 minutes left in the game tosecure the win against NSU.

While Boag was heavilydefended, Molina and Jones tookcharge; Jones scored 16 and hit theonly 3-pointers on the night forthe Beavers. This provided thebiggest lead of the night as itproved to be the biggest shot ofthe night. Minot State was held toshooting only 27 percent in thesecond half, including 0-7 beyondthe arc. Molina was in the hunt forher 1,000-point all-time mark.After Friday’s game she sat at 994career points.

The tide seemed to have turnedthe next day as the Beavers werethe victims of a second-half rally.MSU-M outscored Minot 44-33 tofinish the game on top by a scoreof 74-61.

The Beavers could not keep upwith Moorhead’s three-point

shooting, as they hit seven 3-pointers in the first half and hitfive more in the second.

On a positive note, the LadyBeavers’ “Aussie Wonder” wasback to her old self Saturday. Boagfinished with a total of 14 pointsand nabbed six rebounds. MorganKlose (So.) also had a great gamewith 13 points and three 3-point-ers.

Also on this night, the Beavers’Molina was on the quest to finishher regular season out with 1000career points. She was so close, butonly scored five points, whichputs her career total at 999 points.Although not getting her 1,000thpoint, Molina has had an amazingcareer for Minot State.

Minot State University com-peted in the Northern SunConference meet Feb. 22 and 23in Myers Field House,Mankato, Minn.

In the Beavers’ first indoortrack conference meet at theDivision II level, MSU gar-nered 13 points on the men'sside and 1 point on thewomen's. The point-earnerswere: Tyler Flatland in the400m, Kirk Capdeville in thepole vault, and the 4x400mrelay, consisting of ClayArmstrong, Farai Madungwe,Josh Sandy and Tyler Flatland.Maila Lucht, (Jr.), earned theonly point on the women'sside.

Capdeville, who has been

fighting to keep his hamstringshealthy, worked hard when itcounted. He soared to a heightof 16 feet, two and a half inchesin the vault, netting theBeavers a good 8 points withhis second-place finish. Thisvault resulted in him beingnamed to the All-CentralRegion team.

Maila Lucht, who, notunlike Capdeville, has beenbattling to stay healthy, quali-fied for the 800m finals with ablazing time of 2:24.98. Herqualifying time was also a sea-son best for her.

Flatland ran some impres-sive races at the NSIC meet.The sophomore scored threepoints in the 400m, which somepeople argue is the toughest

women’s hockey club team isfinished for this school year.Their season came to a close witha 5-5-1 record, falling just shortof a trip to nationals.

“I feel we progressed everyweek throughout the season,”head coach Sam Anderson said.“By the end of the season, wewere playing a lot better as ateam.”

Since its existence, MSUwomen’s club hockey hasimproved every season. This isthe second time (last year beingthe first) the team had a recordover .500. The goal this year wasto make it to Nationals, but acouple of losses the final week-end of the season made the goal

unreachable this year.‘We came very close to that

goal, but came up a bit short,”Anderson said. “Next year, wehave the same goal. It’s going totake dedication and hard work.”

Senior captain Alecia Powerled the team with 14 points, scor-ing nine goals and making fiveassists. In addition to Power, theteam will be losing KimberlyTaylor, Katie Seier, and KeyshaJansen. However, recruiting andreturning players will be fillingin those gaps.

“We’re working on recruitingfor next year,” Anderson said.“We’re losing some good play-ers, but we also have some risingstars coming back next season.”

ogy as it was coming out andusing it to make music. With mile-stones like MIDI (MusicalInstrument Digital Interface)being created in ’83, it laid somevery important groundwork forthe genre to expand in the 1990’sas a legitimate genre with suchelectronic music titans as DaftPunk [yes, I know they started in1992, but I just wanted to mentionthem regardless because of howlegendary they are. This may ormay not be foreshadowing to afuture column…]

Back to the 80s however, evencountry shined bright [Admit it,that’s saying a LOT coming fromme]. You had greats like KennyRodgers, the Charlie Daniels Bandand the Oak Ridge Boys amongstars like Johnny Cash, MerleHaggard and Hank Williams Jr.who had each been around previ-ous to the 80s but saw continuedsuccess well into the decade.

Finally, the 80’s would not becomplete without the huge femalepresence that existed in thedecade. Cyndi Lauper, Blondie,The Go-Go’s, Pat Benatar, JoanJett, Katrina and the Waves andthe Bangles were all among alegion of female artists who lenttheir particular talent to what real-ly made 80s music.

If you think this column is basi-cally just a nostalgic shoutout tosome musical greats, well thenyou’ve got it completely correct! Iwill say though that, as a whole,the 80s saw some artists who wereway ahead of their time and whoreally pushed and advancedmusic forward to achieve the cur-rent state it is in today.

I know music’s future can seemdismal when comparing thoseartists above to the Justin Biebers,One Directions, Nicki Minajs andeven those god-awful Nickelbacksof today, but on the other hand,look at all the other hardworkingartists today who constantly striveto use their talents to progressmusic all the more.

Digital Storytelling is a newclass on the Minot StateUniversity campus. This onlineworkshop allows ordinary indi-viduals to share aspects of theirlife story. Forms of digitalstorytelling-media can includevideos, pictures, sound clips, etc.It has been growing more andmore popular.

Aimee Duchsherer, projectcoordinator, explained the courseand how it works.

“In the class, we will learnwhere to find stories, how to writethem for this format, how torecord the narrative audio andhow to use images to pull it alltogether in a short, three to five-minute video. This is a great wayto learn about other people, theirlives and their cultural heritage inan easy, open environment, she

said.”She said students should par-

ticipate because digital story-telling is a great way to getinvolved, become familiar withworking with computer technolo-gy and learn about other people’slives and cultures. The digital sto-ries can be family stories, a storyabout a special place, an impor-tant event, or anything that hasmeaning to the teller’s life. Thesedigital stories often are very com-pelling and emotionally grabbing.

The class will meet everyTuesday from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.,until March 26 (excluding March12), in Old Main 314. The cost is$75. Students need to bring a flashdrive.
