Dear Minot State University Faculty, Staff, and Students: I am writing to ask our campus and you to consider participating in the first September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance. Last April President Obama signed the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, and in so doing, officially established September 11 as the National Day of Service and Remembrance. If you would like to organize a service activity with your colleagues or do some-thing on your own to benefit others, please discuss these ideas with your col-leagues and supervisor and consider making plans for those efforts on Friday, September 11. Possible opportunities to serve include: 1. Roosevelt Park Zoo, Dana Pritschet, 857-4166. The activities will depend

on how many volunteers come and how long they will be there.2. Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch 2nd Chance Store, Linda Logan, 852-0236. 3. Goodwill Retail Store, June Cink, 852-12014.

The Minot State UniversityMasters in ManagementIntercollegiate Cohort pro-gram has made a little changethat may make a big differ-ence. Instead of completingthe courses in 12 months, stu-dents can now choose toextend the classes to 24months. The Master of Science in

Management (MSM) programto acquire the InterculturalCohort has required studentsto take two classes a semesteror 30 semester hours a year,including summer school.

Many students are trying tobalance a full-time profession-al career along with school.Students who take two classesa semester finish in 12 months.Many students, includingprospective students however,find this rigorous schedule tobe too fast-paced. Gary Ross, Master of

Science in Management pro-gram director, says there aretwo main advantages to thechange. “(One is) so studentswill have a good experiencewhile attending Minot Stateand the opportunity to absorb

R&G OpinionThis column is written weekly by one of the Red & Greenstaff members and may not necessarily reflect the viewsof the Red & Green or Minot State University.

I read a CNN technology news story that said something alongthe lines of Bill Gates and a bunch of other scientists are going totry to stop hurricanes. The idea itself seems novel, considering thatdevastating hurricanes have hit close to home in the past, but itshould stay on the drawing board.Didn’t read this story? His plan was to have barges out on the

ocean, and these barges will have 500-foot conduits that push coldwater up and warm water down. Supposedly these will stop ahurricane, or severely weaken it before it makes landfall.This is based on what? Nowhere in the story was there mention

of an experiment, or computer simulation done by scientists. Arewe to assume that just because a man, who made billions of dollarswith Microsoft, backs scientists with a hypothesis it is going towork? No. In fact, this idea hasn’t been completely thought out.There would have to be numerous amounts of said barges, with

people aboard. With those come labor and maintenance costs.There would also be no telling as to how much time they would beout there, considering that hurricanes, or any tropical weatheroccurrences for that matter, are unpredictable in terms of whenthey start and finish. This also brings health and safety intoquestion. There are also unanswered questions as to what effects this

would have on the environment and marine life at large. Stormsare caused by changes in our atmosphere, and there is also notelling what changes this move would create.This idea should have stayed on the drawing board, because the

consequences that could arise from it have not been thought out;neither have the costs — psychologically environmentally, andfinancially.

Have you ever wonderedabout Minot’s past? AmyLisner wondered, and shefound answers. As a historymajor at Minot StateUniversity, Lisner has an obvi-ous passion for things of thepast. But what started out as avolunteer project, soon turnedout to amount to a lot more.Lisner presented her infor-

mation to the DowntownMinot Business andProfessional Association, aswell as the Ward CountyHistorical Society as part of aninternship class that she tookunder MSU history instructorBethany Andreasen. Some ofthe areas that Lisner hasresearched have included theFlatiron Building, the EmpireTheater and the OrpheumTheater. Some of these havesince been torn down andturned into parking lots. While she was required to

research at least six locations inthe downtown Minot area,Lisner went above and beyondthat. “Amy worked veryenthusiastically and energeti-cally to research the history ofher locations as fully as possi-

ble,” Andreasen said. “She hasa gift for tracking downsources that others might notconsider.” For an entire year, Lisner

researched the Minot area, tak-ing in resources varying fromthe Records Office in the WardCounty Court House to thegeneral public. “During my volunteer basis,

I came upon or was introducedto many local proprietors whowere more than willing to helpme in my research. One storyled to another, literally, andbefore I knew it, I was diggingin archives and photos of yearspast. Overall, it was the locals'willingness and desire to retelland relive stories and memo-ries of Minot's rich history thatjumpstarted my majorresearch,” Lisner said. Many other students have

done similar research into thesubject, but it is clear thatLisner is the expert. Lisner has

some tips for other studentswho are interested in learningmore about Minot’s history orjust history in general. “There is someone out there

who is willing to help guidestudents interested in seekingadvice or guidance,” she said.“I was redirected many times,and with each new step, anoth-er door opened … simply be adetective and just go for it!” Native to New Jersey,

Lisner is interested in the his-tory of all the places that theAir Force takes her and herfamily. For now they will be inMinot and she will finish earn-ing her degree in history. Thestudent’s plans for after thatare unclear.“I will continue with my

education, however, I can nottell you where or on what sub-ject. That will depend onwhere the Air Force takes usnext and what opportunitiesare available,” she said.

History student digs into downtown pastState Supreme Court andconstruction delays, the‘believers’ in a Minot-basedinstitution struggled on andeventually achieved theirobjective — a normal schoolon North Hill in Minot,”Timbrook said. “This perseverance

against seemingly undefeat-able odds speaks volumes oftheir grit, determination andvision.” In 1913, the State Normal

School at Minot opened itstemporary residence at thenewly constructed MinotArmory with 11 faculty and55 students. Site selection,reductions in funding, con-struction problems, litigationand a tornado had delayedthe opening of campus facili-ties. In 1914, the partiallycompleted campus openedfor classes. Hard economictimes deferred further con-struction until 1924, whenthe normal school receivedcollegiate status and becamethe State Teacher’s College atMinot. Minot State University, an

institution located in thebeautiful Mouse River Valleyon North Dakota’s driftprairie, is inextricably linkedto the landscape, community,region and state of which it isa part. “Minot StateUniversity” honors the insti-tution’s origin and dynamicevolution through WorldWar II and serves as a cen-tennial tribute to faculty,staff, administrators and stu-dents who created this pre-mier institution on the north-ern Great Plains. The book includes never-

before-published photo-graphs depicting behind-the-scene operations of the early

campus through the eventsof World War II. It illustratesexamples of classroom activ-ities, theater, annual celebra-tions, sports, student clubsand dormitory life. “The story of Minot State

University is an integral partof Minot and North Dakota. Ihope the book instills institu-tional and community pride.I hope it brings back goodmemories and strengthensthe bonds between the pastand present,” Timbrook said.“Lastly, I hope it creates asense of wonder. The soulswho preceded us have left aunique legacy; one weshould be proud of.”

Timbrook, the technolo-gy support specialist inMinot State’s Office ofInstructional Technology, anadjunct history instructorand a past president of theWard County HistoricalSociety, is also the author oftwo books. The books,“Inculpatory Evidence” and“The Last Hurrah: AnAccount of the Mouse RiverValley, Bone Town, LittleChicago, and the MagicCity,” were released withinthe last year. Retired from the United

States Air Force, Timbrookholds a bachelor’s degree inhistory from Minot StateUniversity and a master’sdegree in history fromNorwich University VermontCollege, Northfield.

The book officially wenton sale Aug. 24.The Dr. M. Lillehaugen

History Scholarship fundwill receive all royalties fromthe sale of this book.To order a copy, contact

the material better,” he said.The second is so that the MSMprogram can attract studentswho are looking for the on-campus experience.Students are already taking

advantage of these programchanges. In the first group, 75percent chose the 24-monthoption over the 12-monthoption. Ross sees this as a suc-

cess for the new option and isexcited to see what future stu-dents will choose. The Intercultural Cohort

combines both domestic stu-dents and international stu-dents. At Minot State, Chinesestudents largely comprise theinternational student group.According to Ross, this diversi-ty is an advantage to bothdomestic and international stu-dents. They can learn from eachother’s cultural management

methods. There are three different

Cohorts in which a student canget a Master of Science inManagement: Online,Intercultural, and Job CorpsExecutive ManagementProgram. The enrollment deadline for

the Online Cohort is Nov. 1; theIntercultural Cohort’s deadlineis April 1. Contact Ross, 858-3291, for questions about theManagement program.

“Shadow Complex” is, by far, the bestgame I have ever seen on Xbox LiveArcade's lineup. The way the game looksand feels is remarkably amazing. Soamazing, that I mistake it for a disc-basedgame instead of downloadable content(DLC) most of the time. The game wasmade by Epic Games, known for the"Unreal" and "Gears of War" franchises,and ChAIR Entertainment.Story: The game is based on Orson

Scott Card's novel, “Empire.” “ShadowComplex” is a tie-in to the sequel of thefirst novel, but it feels like it's in its ownuniverse rather than the “Empire” trilogy. You play as Jason Flemming, who is

hiking in the mountains with his girl-friend, Claire. Claire decides to go aheadof Jason, into a cave she explored whenshe was a child. Little to their knowledge,

a group called the "ProgressiveRestoration" is in the area and kidnapsClaire. Jason finds out about theRestoration's plans to start a civil waragainst the United States, and he plans tostop it. Famed comic book writer PeterDavid, who is known for his works on“The Hulk” and “Star Trek” novels,wrote the game’s story.Gameplay: “Shadow Complex” feels

entirely original on its own. However,take some elements of “Super Metroid”and “Metal Gear,” and roll them into aside-scroller game and you get “ShadowComplex.” The game has more than 110items to find that will help you out great-ly as the game gets tougher and tougher.There are also weapons that I have neverseen before in a game, and I've been gam-ing since age 4!

The most notableweapon is called "Foam."It's as if you freeze somebubble wrap which, heat-ed up, becomes rock.However, use it on anenemy, it will explode! The most useful item that you'll use is

the flashlight, which shows colored hintsif you're stuck. For example, a closed airvent would flash orange, meaning youmust shoot it with your gun to open it.Controls: For a side-scroller, you

would think there's not much to thisgame, right? Wrong. This game makes alot of use out of the Xbox 360 controller.That's saying something for a DLC title.Aiming in the game is a bit difficult, butonce you get used to it, it's as easy as 1-2-3. At times, you may forget which button

you press to fire grenades or how to usethe flashlight. This can be frustrating,especially in a heated boss battle.

Despite the annoyance of the manyconfigurations, it feels necessary to havethem. If they all were not there, it wouldfeel incomplete, just another side-scroller.This is what makes “Shadow Complex”so intuitive and fresh.Overall: If you have an Xbox 360, buy

this game. Don't even try the demo. Thisis the best game on the Xbox Live Arcade,hands down. If you don't have an Xbox360 or this game, I pity you. A lot.

Minot State recentlyreceived a Title III Grant fromthe Department of Education.The university will use thismoney to create the Center forEngagement in Teaching andLearning (CETL). The mainfocus of the CETL is to makethe first-year experience atMSU a little easier for studentsto transition into college.The new “First-Year

Experience” at MSU consists ofthree learning communities.These communities will con-sist of three courses linked intheme as well as assignments.Each of the three communitieswill consist of a freshman sem-

inar and have the same stu-dents in all three classes.Instructors interested in theproject and who are dedicatedto making it successful willteach the classes.

“Crime… Culture…Identity…”is the title of one ofthe options. It is open to stu-dents of all majors. In additionto the freshman seminar, thisoption consists of a historycourse taught by DanielRingrose and an Englishcourse taught by MargaretSherve. Kevin Neuharth, asso-ciate professor of communica-tion arts, is the instructor forthe freshman seminar in thisoption. He listed the studentswho should sign up for this

community. “People that are interested

in learning more about them-selves and how they wouldrespond in historical situa-tions,” he said, adding, “Wecall it identity crime culture.”In this option, students willread popular literature fromthe 19th century, includingFrankenstein, Dr. Jekyll andMr. Hyde, and Les Mis.Students will learn the histori-cal background in which thesestories took place in their histo-ry class. They will imaginethemselves in difficult situa-tions to find out “how far theywill go to stay alive,”Neuharth said.A second option titled "You

Like What?" is geared towardeducation majors. In thisoption, Patti Kurtz teaches anEnglish class and Lisa Borden-King will teach an educationclass. Erik Anderson, assistant

professor of music, willinstruct the freshman seminar.In this option, students willcreate a "CommunityEngagement Piece" in the form

kept them away from bigplays,” said Head Coach PaulRudolph.That was the big difference

in the 24-21 win for MinotState. The Beavers got on theboard first courtesy of a NikLevnaich 17-yard field goal in

the first quarter. The teamsthen matched each otherpretty evenly until about thethree-minute mark of the sec-ond quarter. Concordia’s Mitch Brecke

connected with wide receiverJordan Schultenover on a 66-yard touchdown to give theGolden Bears a 7-3 lead thatlooked like it would standuntil halftime. But theBeavers came right back,driving 64 yards to take thelead for good as Senior JonMeier hit Johnny Lester on astop-and-go move for a 23-yard touchdown just before

halftime. The Meier to Lesterconnection was just one ofthree touchdown hookups onthe day.“That was a really big pos-

session,” said Rudolph. “Wehad a good mixture of runand pass that got us down thefield.”While junior receiver

Lester stole the highlight reel,it was that combination and amuch- improved defensiveeffort that sealed the Beavers’first victory of the year.Sophomore running backTyson Schatz paced theground attack for MSU with

120 yards. The Beavers finished with

a total of 418 yards of offense,but how about that Beaverdefense? After allowing 293yards on the ground toBemidji State 10 days earlier,the defense came in andattacked Concordia andallowed only 16 yards on theground. Three big sacks total-ing 32 yards lost helped thateffort.This win sends the Beavers

into an open date beforestarting Dakota AthleticConference play Sept. 19 atValley City State University.
