Veterans' Day: Remembering Armed Forces

's ROTC sponsors 24-hour vigi at flagpole ASHLEY FINGARSON

MSU's first Veterans' Day norial ceremony took place ;day at the Quad area on campus. l\ISU ROTC members orga­d and operated the 24-hour I. The e\'ent began at 4 p.m. on nday with l\tSU's color guard nging the Montana state flag

Prisoner of War (POW) and sing in Action (MIA) flag, ch hung at half-mast. A pro-

cession by the rifle team followed. Two to three Air Force cadets,

who served half-hour shifts at a time, accompanied the flag for the next 24 hours.

"A couple people have walked by and said thanks. It's not so much us rc:'flecting, but getting others to notice the flag at half­mast," said John Blenkush, Air Force cadet, while serving his 30-minute shift Monday night.

The cadets signed up for these intervals and voluntarily stood

outside under the flag to com­memorate Veterans' Day, and an overwhelming amount of cadets signed up for this event.

"This is the first year we [ROTC] have done this. Usually, there is a Veteran event held at the [Gallatin Valley] mall," said John Nord, ROTC's Information Manager at MSU.

"It was a new idea we had to show our respects. Hopefully we will keep it going and do it every year. POW/MIA is a big thing

for anyone in the military. You never want to forget about those who have served their country and have come or haven't come home," said Nord.

The vigil ended at 4 p.m. on Tuesday with the color guard removing the POW /MIA flag and the rifle team performing one last time. People walking across campus stopped for a moment and watched the procession; some removed their hats, and others placed their hands on their hearts.

" ! thought that it was pretty good. ot enough people were around for it though. 1 had hoped more people would come and appreciate what veterans did," said a bystander.

Balloons filled with names of POWs and MIA's from Montana and the surrounding area were released into the sky. As the balloons floated away, the vigil officially ended.

"A beautifully, gray day [Tuesday] for a memorial, very appropriate;' a bystander said.

1SU professor's film project requires creative funding tactics ~ BOZEMAN. MT

Fe1, folks would turn down 1illion dollars. Da\'id Scheerer done 11. Twice.

The Montana State h·.er,ill·-Bozeman professor of d1a and theatre arts instead ed to create a cooperative >ine~, to produce his first full­gth feature film, "The }.1usic ide," starring Amy Redford. " orne people thought I was

crazy," said Scheerer from an edit­ing studio in Bozeman." obody turns down money like that."

That's where Scheerer and everal l\lontana filmmakers

chose the road untravelled. Their journey began when Scheerer read a colleague's screenplay. The professor was astonished.

"I have a jaded attitude with most material;' Scheerer said. "I've read thousands of screen­plays. This one was extraordi­nary. Not onl)' did Michael Van

Wagenen create this 120-page fea­ture during a 72-hour marathon writing session, he wrote some­thing special." Van Wagenen is a filmmaker, writer and historian at the University of Utah.

Twice Scheerer sought con­ventional means to raise money for"The Music Inside." Two inves­tors offered to dole out a million dollars each -- enough gel the film rolling, but the small print, as Scheerer noted, stated that the project would make he and Van

\Vagenen "work for hire." "Both investors planned to

simply buy us out then fire us," he said.

Then Jast spring during a film development conference in Livingston, he realized that the fate of non- Hollywood produc­tions appeared hopeless. And he had an epiphany.

"Tt occurred to me to band together with professionals who all become vested in the film," said Scheerer. "So, I looked seri-

ously at the cooperative model and formed the Montana Motion Picture Co-op."

In fact, some 90 million Americans belong to coopera­tives -- from farmers' co-ops to insurance companies, banks and grocery stores. Scheerer · began calling colleagues, fellow faculty and filmmakers, many with pro­fessional experience on such films as "A River Runs Through It," and

...-0llege of Business to remodel part of Reid Hall APARITA BASU

r 'IE°NT WRITER

A recent 3 million gift to the lege of Busincs> at Montana e L'nivcrsit} is Rich Semenik s

iam .:ome true. Seme111k, Dean of the lege of Business, had a \·ision

the Center for Excellence Undergraduate Business

cation after he became the n. I le shared his vision with late Gary Bracken, an alum-

. of .\!SU, but Bracken passed

away in .\pril 2001. Six months later, Semenik met with the widow, Mrs. Bracken, and the rest of the familv. He told them about his talk with Gary, and the fam­ily agreed to give the $3 million as a gift to the ;\fSt; College of Business exclusively, to establish the Bracken center for Excellence in Undergraduate Business Education in order lo honor Gary Bracken. The first installment of the gift was received in April of 2003.

The gift was announced

in Reid Hall at the scholarship banquet. The members of the Bracken family attended the scholarship banquet. Semenick mentioned the fact that this large amount of money granted for an undergraduate program is unusual because normally col­leges of business throughout the country tend to invest more in their MBA and Ph.D. programs.

"It will mean scholarships; it will means Tra\•el Abroad fellow­ships, and a physical center which will be a remodeled part of Reid

Hall," said Semenik. Jackie Sather, Rene Wachter,

and Semenik are in charge of this project. Sather is the public relations person in the business department, and \Vachter will be the Executive and the Founding Director of the Bracken Center for Excellence in Undergraduate Business Education. There will be a person hired as a counselor who will also act as a career counselor to the students in the College of Business.

The center, on the fourth floor

of Reid Hall by \\'achter's office, will

also act as a job placement depart­ment and bring in job opportuni­ties for the students. It will also provide multimedia facilities where students can practice their presen­

tations and study. Another compo­nent of the Bracken program is to update the curriculum.

According to Semcnik, the center will help the MSU College of Business gain national recognition. Semenik describes the gift as "a wonderful and an important thing."

High school seniors can get the scholarships automatically-­based strictly on test scores, with­out having to write essays.

MSU is raising its tuition 12 percent this year and next. To

offset a portion of that, President Geoff Gamble set a goal of raising mil hons m prh ate donations for scholarships. At least $14 million has been pledged so far.

Two years ago, MSU started offering smaller, one-time awards of $2,500 to out-of-state students, and recruiting had its best year ever, Yarnell said.

However, the number paying full out-of-state tuition fell this year, officials said.

"Students started telling us 1t was too expensive to come here,"' Yarnell said.

.\1ontana families ma) be surprised to see that out-of-stale freshmen qualify for larger schol­arships than in-stale student>, and al a lower score. A 22 on the

ACT could be worth $5,000 over four )"1.:ars for an out-of-stater, while a ;\1ontana student would have to have at least a 26 to win a one-time ::.750 scholarship.

Yarnell .,aid that is fair because 'pplv e, 1. tuition costs so niuch less for t on thL out- l\lontana students--about a third

Thankfull\', I couldn't rnte due to nn age, 'o it's t 111~ fault \\e hall· ,1 dim light bulb in I ldena. Anyway, let's take a look at what George

1,h ha, i.ll.:comph,hed during his term and examine Just hOI, responsible he truh is for e trouble' th.it seem to plague the l'nited States.

Since the: dedan:d "\\'ar on lerror," there has not been another terrori't attack on crican soil. It would .1ppcar to me that this means success. :\tany will claim that there

e still terrorist attacks aimed at Americans Ol'ersea,, and not just at our troops in Iraq d \fghanistan. last I checked, howe\'er, the bombing of our African emba sies, the mbmg of the l '5 'i Cole, the first ,1ttack on the \\'orld Trade Center, the Kho bar Towers

ilitan barrack' ng id the now-defunct (and likely ignored from the beginnin orth Korean treat\ baP1111 ~ the production of nuclear weapons, all took place under t it linton Admi1mtratto11. Poi der that one.

Of course, 11 1ou arc l l .ken little, it is all Dubya's fault that the economy is in t t

bes too. Ne\T mmd that the slide to recession started in 1999, nearly two years befo sh was decll l to offi<.t. ever mind that the unforeseen attacks on the \"lorld Tra•

enter and Prntugon pushed .\merica to the economic breaking point. ever mind ti 1t . anks to George H.1sh\ tax LUts, he helped create the largest economic growth in almost enty years. Just for 1ou information, the last largest economic growth occur ed der another great Republican, Ronald Reagan. o doubt the Democratic esidenttal contcl'dcr' .irt screaming "foul." lt would have been to their

.nefit if the\' wuld hah ... .:pt America under the thumb of recession 1r another ~·ear.

Now let's not fo 10et the t·nvironmenl. We nil know one of the ing term goals ot Pre<.ide Bush was to purposely destroy the )1•ironment, 1 1'1 off tliL ' bou, and blacken our skies with ollution. h .ii acti., I t\, pollution has actually dee/med nder Pre,1d<111 Bus 1 • " , it is declining faster than it did nder Clinton. !..1.krab Jrgue that Bush is gutt.ing the Clean ir Act, \\hen in tact, with only few exceptions; his admin­tration has actually strengthened most parts of the Act. Yet

:imethmg else to ponder. Going into Iraq wa~ the right thing to do. I'm sick and

red hearing about the "16 words" in President Bush's ;ate of the Limon address. President Bush did not lie. s he stated, BRITl~H mtelligence, believed that Saddam

1as going to buy uranium from an African nation, not .merican. Under the Clinton Administration, Democrats rerc the leading force m \\anting Saddam ousted. Tom >aschle having the harshest words about Iraq's WI\1D's. With er) few exceptiom, the Iraqis are better off than they were a car ago. Schools are open, hospitals are running, and best of all, here i, actuallv a functioning marketplace of ideas in lraq. Iraqis are ble to \ 'Otce an opi111011, watch non-government control televisions, nd recei1e unbi,bed information from all corners of the globe.

It is also getting annoring to hear the liberals of Am~rica talk about 1ow much the) hate "President Bush\ Patriot Act." last I checked, the 'resicknt didn't have a vote in the Congress. It 1,as Congress, not the \'hite Hou,e, which passed the USA/Patriot Act. Bevond that, the )emocrats controlled the Senate when the bill \\as pas~ed! Just 1ow hypocritical will the liberals of -\merican get?

It won't be long at all before the DemtlLrab 1.mng nothing leh to gripe about. The) ire Jo,ing ground in .ill lei-els of go\'­·rnment, including two go\er-10r,hip, in the 1.i,1 \\eek, and railing in the polls Im the one

ERIC RUNDQUIST There 1s current!) a story reverbtrating throughout the news media about a woman 111 Florida. I !er "v 'T ( 11,1me is Tern Shiavo, and she is in a vegetative 'late

with no hope of rc:con:ry. The big ethical question is: do we pull the plug or don't we? At its heart, the ston ''not e,pecialh· surprising or strange. It\ actually about what you

would expect 111 such a situation: the parent> are trying to be parents and the husband b trying to be logical. Cnabk to solve their dispute, the1· take the argument to court to reach a settlement. Hcm·e\Tr, the ca'c reccnth· became extre1rn:ly interesting and influential to c1-cry American citi1cn.

Two weeb ago. the Florida go1·ernor, Jeb Bmh, rook tt upon himself to on~rturn a court order requiring the ho,pit,11 to discontinue intran.'llouslv feeding the wom,m. Thus, Governor Bush sa1·ed the woman's vegetati1·e life. However, sa1·, the \CLC, Bush\ action effectively "set aside the role of the whole judicial system."

A.pparenth, Bush decided that this debate, based entirely on religious ethics, was an issue pert111ent to the slate gtwernmcnt. In fact, it was so important that it justified setting a new precedent in which the go\·ernor of a state can owrturn any court order that he or she disagrees with.

Therefore, Jeb Bush simultaneously bypassed two freedoms: the right of an indi1·idual or 1 famih· member to determine when a life in a state of terminal illness (in this case a wgd,1t•H >IJtl' s no lonb,r \\O living, .ht of individuals to have a court of law clclldt a debate w'l c'l l,rnnot h ttled o ,n, ,

Since the .tr 200 I, howe1·er, these acquired liberties have c~ erased, leaving a level of personal freedom

rem1111s..:<11t of the 1960s. Citizens are uddenl) openmg their eyes and asking, "\\!hat the hell happened?!"

Well, it is actually quite simple: A president was elected into office that \\as O\ erly confident in his own moral standpoint and felt secure in imposing it on oth­ers. He then appointed a like-minded, diligent staff to assist him. Then, of course, an attack on the courllr) compounded the influence of the federal g01wnment.

Due to xenophobia, increased trust in politicians, or maybe just a decline in self confidence, Americans have handed O\'er to the gowrnment the liberties they

spent the previous forty years trying to achie1·e. Resulting from these changes, we will ine1itabl) see more cases simi­lar to that of Terri Shiavo, where the gol'ernment concerns

itself in individual morality. It's actuall) \"er) confw.ing. While all Americans cl,1im to want the freedom to

choose whatever religion or moral stand­point they please, manr willfulh·

allow the government to tell them which one'> to practice (as long as it\ their Own, or COllr'>e).

So, one .an forget ,1bout '' rit­ing all\ mg will.

UB renovation should include building parking garage TREVOR MCCONKEY

ONENTWRTER

'A'hat is the biggest lem the universit\ faces?

,ire many problems rcntly. Thert: must be, use tuition keeps climb­but that\ OK I guess. The

"ces are somewhat l11rnted. u' in-state folks it is still a

deal. I mi:an those of rou n out of state and mr friends ~g lo ciut of state or pri,·ate ob, art: still pa) ing far more

l I am. \\hat .:onfuses me is that c seem to feel that a ver) ort,1111 thing to sptnd some

money on is a renornted Strand Union Building (SUB). It would be nice to have a state-of-the-art meeting place at the hub of our campus. Both of these proposi­t10ns, however, are not cost-ver­sus-gain-efficient. By the same token, the current SUB has what we need at this time; a brand new bookstore, seating to con­verse in, tables to eat or stud) at, concessions to get some breakfast, lunch, dinner, or an unhealthr snack, quiet room to take a nap m, some offices for student organizations, com­puter terminals for our educa­tion pleasures, etc.

Since I said I don't think we should build a new SUB am not disturbed by the cost of my schooling, yet I want my mon­eys worth for what 1 pay, what do I think we hould do with the money? Well I think from an infrastructure point of view, the most important thing that we need to address is the cur­rent parking issue. r have seen many articles regarding this issue, but I haven't seen what I feel is one of the most obvious solutions. The city of Bozeman has spotted it for a solution to the downtown parking issue. What is this solution? A parking

garage, a concrete structure, say, three sto ries tall an<I the size of a parking lot, thusly getting thrice the parking in the same area. l propose we build it on the SIB lot to the south of pay parking and the SUB. This placement serves Bobcat Stadium, the Brick Breeden Fieldhouse, and the campus in general for com­muting students and faculty. It should be designed with angled parking spaces so trucks and SUVs can park in them, and it should be wired with security cameras, because, as the victim of a couple of hit-and-runs on campus, I feel cameras help

need to see all. It could even be more levels, either up or down. Moreover, I don't want to hear about it being an eyesore, because what I find an eyesore is never seeing a parking spot to put my vehicle.

Now that is the proposal in general. l can ' t see how it would cost more than a new SUB, and in my opinion is more needed. And if the powers al be want to make some extra money off the structure, I am sure many would pay a ten to fiheen extra dollars for the camera-covered and snow-free security of a parking garage.

a lot of "idiot liberals." In all these marches, most of these protesters had never protested before, and belong to no single demographic. But hey, no wonder they got all that media coverage. According to Tim Adams, 90 percent of those respon­sible for choosing what we get to see on the news are liberals. That's a pretty dismal scenario. I mean, how are we to expect to be accurately informed when all we get to see or hear is liberal propaganda?

Luckily the Program on International Policy Attitude (PIPA) is keeping an eye on the liberal media. In a recently released report, PIPA found a majority of respondents have mispercep­lions about the war. Ther tested three common misperceptions: l. lncorrectl\' belie\'ing that evidence of links between al-Qaic.la and Iraq has been found. 2. \\ea pons of mass c.lestruction were found in Iraq. 3. \\ orld opinion farnred the L:nued States going to war with Iraq. PIP.\ grouped respondents answers ba:.cd on their reported main source of new> information. It turns out some sources were worse than others. fox :\ews rated the wor't. Among those \'it•wers that rated Fox news as their primar) source of new,, 80 percent of viewer> held at least one of these mispercept1ons. A walloping -15 percent held all three misperceptiom. Damn those liber­als at Fox! And they s,. the\ are "Fair and Balanced." But get this, those ":\'utso idiot liberals" that listen to NPR >cored the best of all. Only 23 percent of PR listeners held one or more of the mispercep­tions.

So Tim, I am wondering, if maybe the word liberal doesn't mean what \'OU think it means. Is your definition of liberals perhaps "anyone whom disagrees with you?" lf this is your definition of liberal I guess you won't mind my definition of conservative: Ignorant fascists, hell-bent on demolishing the U.S. Constitution who think freedom only applies to corporations.

Of course you are entitled to your opinions and we are fortunate to live in a society that endor·es free speech. Exercising your right to free speech, however, is much easier than doing so to actually present an argument that is worth listening. As the Opinions Editor I think vou discredit the paper with this mean­ingless ranting.

Sincerely,

Lords of the 'Cat Dane RANDI HIRSCH

Ro?em.in: home of great hiking, skiing, and ... Scottish countn d,1ncing? Relie1e it or not, /\ISlJ .1ctu.1ll\' h.is .1 group dedic.1ted to this lesser known .1ct 111t1·.

Scottish countq dance 1s a rnin~d form of the historic.ii Su1ttish d.rnce tradition. This -;oci,11 dance d.1tes from the 1-oos. The d.111cc is cnmp.1r.1-bk to contra and squ.Hl' J,inc­ing; it is h,l\ed on mo1·enH'nts th.it .ire put together 10 ft)rm a ''hole dance. L' nl1kc contra .111d square dancing, a caller

does not 'ing out the moves during the d.lnll'. Instead, an in-.tructor deslrihes the mcne­ments and when the music -;t,irts, dancers .ire ..:aught up in the d,rnce, hoping thn remember the steps.

One special aspect of this tvpe of dance ts the high degree of S\'mbolism that some express. for example, the Double Triangles is special because the forms, when viewed from above, give the impression of the St. Andrew's cross. Another, the Machine Without l lorses, appears to be wheels turning and chains running up and down.

The dances were influenced by e\'ents in historr. The Reel of the 5 lst Division wa cre­ated in a World War I l German prison camp. Scottish soldiers had been captured and to pass the time, they deYised this men­only dance. Dances were also created to honor an occasion or anniversarr-

"I am under the belief that most academic enhancement happens outside the classroom. Thi, has been ml' personal mission statement for the committee. People need to take advantage of the out-of- class learnmg expenence::..''

Kedem has preYiously appeared at MSU, but due to poor scheduling the lecture had

a dismal turn ou t. This lect ure will hopefully yield a la rger turnout, and t his an opportune time to come out and listen to an amazing story.

At th e age of e leven Kedem was one of th e I, 100 whose life sa\'ed by being placed on a list. Thanks to Steven Spielbe rg's 1993 hit film this . Jist was made famo us; "Schindler's List."

"Kedem's program, 'Sch111dler 's List: A Survivor Celebrates Life,' has drawn

record crowds and rave reviews at over 200 universities a nd community organizations. His moving presentation has been called 'tremendously affecting,' 'informative and inspiring,' and 'marked ... Distinctively with a sense of miraculou sur­viva l," reported Greater Talent

et work "[Kedem presented] an

unforgettable and moving pro­gram; Zev Kedem d emonstrates th e amazing capacity of the human spirit to tri umph over

unspeakable adversity," another recent reviewe r remarked.

In addition to Kedem's appearance, ASMSU Lively Arts and Lectures will also be showi ng the movie" chindler's List" in the Northwest Lounge of the SUB on Monday, No1·. 17, at noon. This 1s a free even t.

Kedem's lecture will take place Wednesday, 1ov. 12 at 7: 30 p.111. in the SUB Ballrooms. T his event is $3 for students and SS for non-students.
