‘The Crucible’ debuts tonightBryce BerginskiAssistant Editor

The stage is set for a play that isas eerie as it is controversial. Themain stage production of “TheCrucible” opens tonight at 7:30p.m. in Minot State University’sAleshire Theatre.“The Crucible” takes place in

Massachusetts in the year 1692during the Salem Witch Trials. Afarmer named John Proctor(played by Brett Olson) tries tosave his wife, Elizabeth (PegMorris) after she is accused ofwitchcraft by Abigail Williams,their former employee (Brittany

Armstrong). Over the course ofthe play, he himself ends up beingaccused and later doomed todeath.“It’s about lies, deceit and cor-

ruption,” director Aili DavidsonSmith said.Although the play takes place

in the 1600’s, many believe it hasundertones of events taking placein the 1950’s. On its premiere, itwas thought to be an attack on U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy andhis “witch hunt” for Communistsand their sympathizers. Arthur Miller, the play’s

author, refused to give names of

suspected Communists when hetestified before McCarthy’s HouseCommittee on Un-AmericanActivities in 1952.In 1953, the New York Times

gave “The Crucible’s” first per-formance a strong review, and itlater won a Tony Award for BestPlay.The main stage production cast

of 24 includes actors who are notall MSU students. Two MinotState theatre alumni, KatieLangemo and Derek W. Smith,play the parts of Ann Putnam andDeputy Governor Danforth,

“Grizzly Man,” the nextinstallment in the MinotState UniversityInternational Film series,will run at 7:30 p.m. onTuesday, Oct. 25 in AleshireTheater. Filmmaker WernerHerzog directed, wrote, andnarrated this story of the lifeand adventures of TimothyTreadwell, an American nat-uralist and documentarian.Famous for his work with

grizzly bears, Treadwelllived among a group ofbears in Katmai NationalPark in Alaska for 13 sum-mers. At the end of the 13thsummer, Treadwell and hisgirlfriend, Amie Huguenard,

were killed and eaten by oneof the grizzlies. Park rangerslater shot and killed “Bear141,” the bear responsiblefor the attack.Werner’s “Grizzly Man”

begins with Treadwell’searly life, outlines his fasci-nation with bears and leadsup to his death.Despite its initially nar-

row focus – a movie about aman who loves bears – thefilm paints a much broaderpicture. It examines the aver-age American life from anobjective standpoint, andhow Treadwell sought toescape it and find solace byentering a natural setting.“He [Werner] has some-

thing profound to suggest

about life in America and theglobalizing world in generalthrough the story of a col-lege student who drops outof society and pursues adream of living with thebears in Alaska,” Scott Sigel,MSU Spanish instructorsaid. By telling the story of

how Treadwell removedhimself from the modernworld, Herzog explores theboundaries between manand nature, how at timesthey can be blurred, but alsohow rigidly they can beenforced. It’s a study ofhuman behavior, how manhas changed the naturalworld – and how the naturalworld changes man.

R&G OpinionThis editorial may not necessarilyreflect the views of MSU.

This week, instead of publishing theminutes of the last Student Governmentmeeting, we will be running their budgetfor the fall semester, which was voted onand approved unanimously on Oct. 10.Please, don’t think we are trying to stir

up an outcry by publishing this. Our goalis to raise awareness. The SGA is elected bythe students, and charged with working onour behalf. Their meetings are open to thepublic, but students rarely come. It seemsthat many of us don’t even know who theyare, or what they do. This needs to change.Simply put, the SGA has extraordinary

pull on campus. Looking through theirminutes for the last few months, one cansee the huge impact they have on our livesas students – they make decisions concern-ing parking, student fees, club funding, etc,etc. It is critical that we as students areaware of this, and that we understand thatSGA exists to work for our best interests.We as students hold our Student Senate

accountable for their decisions, good orbad. We as students need to be aware ofwho is on the Senate, and what they do forus. Most importantly, we need to partici-pate in their processes, making our needsknown and making sure that their deci-sions and policies really are in our bestinterests.Problems with parking, with food serv-

ice, with academic policies? Bring it toSGA. That’s what they are there for.

I never thought it would hap-pen. I suppose I should have seenit coming, but I was blind. Theyremade Footloose. Footloose wasn’t just a film, it

was an era. It was the eighties in amicrocosm. It was a hearty slice ofAmericana. It was our story.Naturally, when I heard it wasbeing remade, I was dismayed. Iwasn’t certain if I could bringmyself to see it. I’m still a little bit

suprised I went to see it.Footloose, both the origi-

nal and the remake, is the taleof Ren MacCormack, a youngman who moves from the bigcity to a small town and isblasted with culture shock -no music, no dancing, no fun.Originally played by KevinBacon, and now by KennyWorlmald, Ren must fight thetownspeople for his funda-mental right to dance. Technically speaking, this

film was a good one. All ofthe important bits were there.The music and cinematogra-phy were passable. The dia-

logue was strong. The acting was solid - I’d

never heard of the two leads,Kenny Worlmald as Ren andJulianne Hough as Ariel.They had some big shoes tofill, and they came close, butWormald never really meas-ured up. I was a little dubiousabout Dennis Quaid asReverend Shaw (who couldfollow an act like JohnLithgow?), but he did alrighton his own. Despite it’s positive

aspects, this film still doesn’tsit well with me. If“Footloose” is remade, what

other classics are next? “Gonewith the Wind?” “The Wizardof Oz?” These films are clas-sics for a reason — they don’tneed to be redone.Hollywood really crossed theline on this one. On it’s own, “Footloose”

would be a solid three outfive Beavers. But like mostremakes, this one can’t hold acandle to the original. I give“Footloose” two out of fiveBeavers. Go see it if you want,but in my humble opinion, itwould be a much better use ofyour time if you were to goout and get the original.

Ladies and gentlemen, we aregathered here tonight to witnessthe ultimate pinnacle of MMA(Mixed Martial Arts) history!Weighing in at a whopping 154pounds, at the staggering heightof five feet nine inches, comes thegreat, the magnificent, the leg-endary one and only Genki Sudo!Insert crowd eruption here.

Now, typically, what would

ensue after the crowd eruptswould be a decently cool ringentrance or two by each con-testant and then the mainattraction of the actual match.However, in the case of GenkiSudo, the main attraction ofhis MMA and other relatedwrestling events would behis grandiose, elaborateentrances. He wouldn’t sim-ply raise the audience to astanding ovation; he wouldwow them with a spectacle toleave them in an awed stu-por.

It wasn’t that Sudo wasn’t

good at fighting as well, as heracked up a respectablerecord throughout the years;it was just that his entranceswere, well, amazing to saythe least. In his laterwrestling years and continu-ing into post-retirement, hewas featured in eight TVshows/movies, wrote ninebooks, started a baseballteam, managed TakushokuUniversity’s wrestling teamand lived happily ever after.The end … NOT!Sudo has a very interest-

ing “retirement hobby,” so to

say. You see, Sudo is also alyricist, musician and chore-ographer for his band “WorldOrder.”

Sudo, born March 8, 1978,in Koto, Tokyo (Japan), cap-tures and expresses his mainphilosophy of "We are allone” in all of his songs. Asalready gathered from thename of the band, Sudo holdsdear this vision of the worldcoming together towardsorder. Now the band name“World Peace” could’ve been

If you've driven west onHighway 2, you’ve noticed theincrease in traffic. For the mostpart, the road itself is being keptup and taking the beating fromthe truck traffic. The road condi-tions remain safe. Please remem-ber I am only referring to thehighway and not the woefullymaintained county roads. So whyare so many accidents beingreported?Driver error is a large cause of

these accidents. From both par-ties. Surely, some oil trucks arepulling out a little too soon andoncoming traffic isn't afforded the

time to slow down, but isn'tsome of it the fault of the oncom-ing traffic?This isn't “new” traffic. It has

been here for months and yearsnow. It's time that we got used toit. This isn't a pipe dream; thesetrucks will be here for 45 years atleast and it's time to adjust.The most dangerous location

I would like to address is direct-ly west of Berthold. An Enbridgestation has trucks entering ontoHighway 2, then they are imme-diately required to stop at therailroad tracks. There is no warn-ing and no reduced speed limit.If traveling on this route, pleasebe aware of the problem. Earlierthis fall a pickup collided with asemi and the driver of the pickupwas killed.If hundreds of millions of dol-

lars can be pumped into oilcountry to maintain the roadsthemselves, could onramps pos-

sibly be constructed or, at thevery least, could reduced speedlimits and flashing lights beinstalled?I'm all for the oil-boom, and I

think the overall impact on ourstate economy has been well-deserved and, for the most part,our infrastructure has dealt withthe ridiculous increases in trafficadequately. When you're behinda vehicle in the oil patch there isa number you can call to report ifthey're driving safely. These peo-ple are being held responsible fortheir conduct. We must be part ofthe safety, because not all of theblame is on the workers.We need more signs, fewer

cell phones and more awarenesswhen traveling in Western NorthDakota, because our state has anopportunity to be a leader in ournation.All of these accidents are pre-

ventable. Pay attention.

Safer driving needed on Highway 2Bryce BerginskiAssistant Editor

In the time I’ve spent with theRed & Green, I’ve written two arti-cles on a dreaded issue thatalways comes up - parking. I don’teven drive and I think it’s ridicu-lous.There was a truth in my most

recent one that wasimplicitly ratherthan explicitly stated– there are more stu-dents, faculty andstaff than there areplaces for them topark. When some-thing big happens oncampus that isn’tMSU related, say astate basketball game, there areeven fewer parking places forMinot State.A lot of dough has gone into

making Minot State Universitylook like a cool, inviting place forstudents. But where are the stu-dents who accept this invitationgoing to put their cars for a fewhours, or even a few days, weeks

or months? And don’t forget MSUemployees, some of whomhaven’t been able to park wherethey’re required, much less want,to park.While students carpooling with

other students and employeeswith other employees may soundlike an economically viable tem-

porary fix, itdoesn’t help thecarpool drivers ifthey can’t find aplace to park.Plus, there areonly a finitenumber of freeparking spacesnorth of theDome. Some of

the lots are also in terrible shapeand, come the North Dakota win-ters, these lots are only going toget worse.For the sake of those who come

here, either for work or to attendclasses, MSU needs to, at maxi-mum, expand available parking or,at the bare minimum, procure someland to make new parking lots.

Parking unsustainable

used alternatively, but I thinkgoing with “World Order” justhelps to add the pinch of aweneeded to top off this alreadyawesome band.As a lyricist and musician,

Sudo does exceptionally well.However, it is the choreographyfeatured in each music videowhich leaves me consistentlypicking my jaw up off of theground at the end.Now I apologize, North

Dakota natives, but if youhaven’t exactly figured out yet,dancing isn’t actually our forte. Ibelieve there are a number ofexceptions out there, don’t getme wrong, but taking NorthDakota as a whole, we might aswell have three or four left feettripping us up.It might just be that fact

which may have something todo with how amazed I findmyself at World Order’s chore-ography. In the band, eachdancer has trained to be in per-

fect synchronization with theothers. As easily seen in any oftheir music videos, they exudegraceful choreographical perfec-tion at every move … or some-thing to that effect. Interestinglyenough, they do their entirevideos in single-shot takes ateach location where they film.At first, I knew there must

have been some amount of com-puter graphics in post-produc-tion to produce such well-timedexactness. Next, I tried to reasonit with them doing around fivehundred takes to finally film theright shot. Then, I witnessed avideo of them doing their movesduring a live performance. Mymind just exploded into littlebits from there.Just as in their music videos,

they pulled off the same mind-blowing moves on stage, as ifthey just casually execute thecomplex choreography requiredin each song. After this, I rushedback to their music videos towatch in renewed amazement. Ifyou see in the background of

their videos the passersby stop-ping to gawk at the visual magicunfolding before their very eyes,you begin to understand why.They arrive on location all prac-ticed and ready and then, in thematter of one shot, record theirmusic video.To date, they have a total of

ten uploads on their officialYouTube channel, “crnavioffi-cial.” Of those ten, six are musicvideos; two or three are com-mercials which they have doneespecially for Dell Streak, andthe rest are interviews withSudo.I must stress that you not

merely read this article.Minimally, be sure to locate acomputer on campus and findtheir videos on YouTube.Alternatively, you can simplylog onto Facebook, find the“Minot State Red & Green”Facebook group, and find thevideos that way as well!

well as engage in various promo-tions with opportunities for dona-tions. They will feature coverageon how the flood affected Minotthroughout the program.“Minot felt like it was slighted

a little if that’s the right word,”Linnell said, “when the flood hitand no one was in shelters. Floodsare different than tornadoes. Youdon’t see the devastation rightaway. It comes slowly, and all of asudden, everything’s bad, andthen it recedes. You don’t reallynotice that there’s something stillgoing on. Through Midco, wewanted to get at least a little bit ofregional coverage that a lot of peo-ple need.”The flood displaced about

12,000 people, but only 200 people

had to go to shelters. This wouldbe unheard of in most places, butfriends and families came to therescue with open arms and openhomes.“We just want to make sure

everyone understands how devas-tating it was, and that we’re stillfighting it,” Linnell said.

MSU, UND, Midco SportsNetwork and the Minot AreaRecovery Fund have partneredtogether to make this possible.They encourage everyone to comeout to watch a good game of bas-ketball for a good cause.Admission will be $5 for adultsand $2 for students.

marketing double-major original-ly from Bismarck, N.D., trans-ferred to Minot State Universitylast year from the University ofMary in Bismarck.“It just wasn’t for me,” she

last fall, Penrose didn’t know asoul. Now, she’s involved with somuch and knows so many people,one has to wonder how she keepstrack of it all.

Last year, Penrose served as anRA (Resident Assistant) in CraneHall, and is doing so again thisyear in Lura Manor.She is also the current presi-

dent of the Residence HallAssociation and is responsible forkeeping the organization runningsmoothly.“There’s a lot to keep track of,”

she said. “It took a while to find abalance.”Because she’s president of

RHA, Penrose also sits on theStudent Government Association.She serves on many SGA commit-tees, and helps out at campusevents. Because of her involve-ment, she recently earned a nomi-nation for Senator of the Month.Penrose doesn’t slow down

during the summer, either. Sheowns and operates her own busi-ness, “Girl Friday ND,” the firstpersonal concierge service in thestate. On top of that, she worked

with the North Dakota YouthEntrepreneurship Program, help-ing to facilitate a summer campdesigned to encourage entrepre-neurship in North Dakota’syouth.Penrose is also a past president

of the Entrepreneurship Club,works as a photographer for theRed & Green, and volunteers withthe Minot State Rotaract Club.Despite her awards and acco-

lades, Penrose shrugs off anypraise with typical Midwesternmodesty.“I just like keeping busy,” she

The Honors class “CulinaryArts & Entertaining” (HON251H) class teaches students notonly how to cook, but table eti-quette and how to present food.The first eight Minot StateUniversity Honors Program stu-dents who sign up will learncooking skills and more.“Cooking is a social activity,”

Eric Anderson, cooking instruc-tor, said. “Spending an eveningwith your family or friends,cooking food, enjoying wine,enjoying people’s company,that’s healthy. That’s somethingthat everyone should feel thatthey can do,” Anderson, MSUmusic instructor as well as culi-nary artist said.The class theme this year is

regional United States. Andersonwill pick four cities around thecountry that serve different

cuisines.Seattle, Wash., the first city,

has a strong Asian influence andNorthwest flavors. Andersonsaid the students made pot stick-ers that first night.

The next city or cities will bethe Carolinas, North and South.Students are considering makingeither a cobbler or sweet potatopie for a desert.They chose Cincinnati, Ohio

as the third city.“We picked this city because

both Diana (my wife) and I livedin Cincinnati for eight years,”Anderson said. “They have aunique type of chili and a way ofserving it that is unlike anywhereelse in the world. They serve it onpasta with a lot of cheese. It’svery delicious.” Students have yet to decide on

the last city. Anderson said itcould be either a California city,with that region’s very chic, all-

about-presentation style, or aNew Mexico, western Texas orArizona town.Students chose the places

because of how diverse they arefrom the Midwestern culture;with foods they don’t usuallyfind here.“It’s stuff that we could get

primary references, that is, peo-ple who have actually livedthere, so it’s not just a hope thatthis is authentic cuisine,”Anderson said.The class will be open every

third semester, beginning in thespring of 2012. Anderson wantsto rotate the classes between falland spring because of the differ-ent seasonal foods available.

Unfortunately, only the stu-dents in the class get to eat theseunique dishes, but if you catchone of the students, don’t be shyto ask for recipes.

Honors students on a culinary adventure

Bryce BerginskiAssistant Editor

Anyone wanting to perform ina welcoming, inoffensive environ-ment will get his or her chance todo so on Thursday nights from8:30 to 9:45 p.m. in the Minot StateUniversity Beaver Dam. Thesewill be open mic nights.Open mic nights are a venue

open to anyone or any groupwishing to express themselves cre-atively in any form they choose:music, the spoken word, stand-upcomedy, etc. Students sign up toperform for a maximum time of 10minutes.Organizer Joe Davis set up the

event because of a number of fac-tors. For a while he hosted openmic nights at Horizons Unlimited,with 40-50 people regularly inattendance. He had to stop due toschool work, but his events creat-ed a demand. So he determined tostart anew. After communicating with Ann

Rivera and the SGA (Student

Government Association), Davisgot the green light to hold openmic nights in the Beaver Dam.Another factor in his decision tore-start the events was a commonmisconception that the arts scenearound Minot is weak and thatthere is nothing to do. Davis creat-ed the event not only as a platformfor creative expression, but also asan alternative to destructivebehavior.“I want people to have fun,”

Davis said.Davis is also a performer, a

spoken-word poet involved inmultiple projects. However hemay perform only a few times atopen mic nights.“It’s not about me,” Davis said.

“ I want to facilitate other artists.”He didn’t rule out the possibil-

ity of filling in time in the event ofa slow night.The event takes place every

Thursday, unless it conflicts withanother one scheduled on theMSU calendar of events.

FlashbackGoing Back inMSU History

This article was published on Nov.6, 1997, (Volume 79, No. 10). Notethat at the time, the Student HealthCenter was located in Hartnett Hall,not Lura Manor.

“Halloween blazewreaks havoc”By John HughesEditorA fire that caused extensive dam-

age to Aleshire Theatre earlySaturday morning has forced theclosure of Hartnett Hall for the restof the semester, leaving students andfaculty wondering what to do next.Sometime after midnight

Saturday, the fire began on thestage of the theater. A campus secu-rity officer and a passerby bothnoticed smoke coming from theback of Hartnett Hall and called theMinot Fire Department.Firefighters arrived on the scene

around 1 a.m. While they managedto contain the fire to the stage area,both the theater and rest of thebuilding received considerablesmoke damage.Minot State University is

insured against fire through theState Fire and Tornado Fund. Stateinsurance adjusters were doing anassessment of the building at presstime Monday.Larry Eide, MSU’s vice presi-

dent for administration andfinance, estimated that it could costas much as $500,000 to get HartnettHall cleaned up enough to allowclasses to resume inside the build-ing. But the final tally could bemuch greater, given the amount ofequipment in the building and theextent of the damage caused by thesmoke and soot, not to mention thedamage done to the campus com-puter and telephone networks.“Even in offices on the third

floor that were closed and locked,it’s a mess,” Eide said.Eide and Jared Edwards, head

of Plant Services, said last weekendthat Hartnett could be closed fromsix to eight weeks. On Monday,Edwards said that eight weeksmight be a little optimistic.On Friday evening, the MSU

Campus Players put on a hauntedhouse in the theater as a Halloweenfund-raiser. According to Edwards,a black light that was clamped ontopart of the haunted house was lefton when the Campus Players leftthe building. The light fell over,came in contact with flammablematerials and started the fire.Aaron Michels, a broadcasting

major who helped out with thehaunted house, said that it was dif-ficult to tell if the black lights wereon or off.“Even when (the black lights)

were on, they almost looked likethey were off,” he said.Michels didn’t find out about

the fire until the next morning,when he showed up at Hartnett tohelp tear down the haunted house.“You could feel a wall of heat

when you walked into the build-ing,” he said. “You could see wherepaper had peeled just next to thetheater.“It took a second to register that

the theater’s gone. It’s strange,”Michels said.The fire itself began about 10

feet from the back of the stage andmoved forward to the front of thestage. The flame-retardant curtainswere drawn, preventing the firefrom reaching the seats.Kevin Neuharth, the director of

the Theatre Department and thefaculty adviser to the CampusPlayers, was relieved that the firedidn’t spread out into the seats orinto the scene shop, located directlybehind the stage.“From what I could tell, the fire

didn’t go back into the shop,” hesaid. “We’re pretty lucky it didn’t,because we have lot of wood andother stuff back there.”By Saturday afternoon, Hartnett

had been completely locked down.The locks on the back doors hadbeen changed, and the front doorswere chained and padlocked. The

fire marshal was theonly person whocould let people inor out of the build-ing.Over the week-

end, universityadministrators wres-tled with the prob-lem of where to relo-cate faculty and

classes that were located inHartnett Hall before the fire. At ameeting of deans and divisionchairs on Sunday morning, arevised timetable was released thatmoved more than 100 classes toeither Cyril Moore Hall, theAdministration building or theGordon B. Olson Library.Fortunately, renovations had

not begun on Moore Hall, whichhad been sitting vacant since lastMay. Science classes had beenmoved to various points acrosscampus this year while Moore wasbeing refurbished.Now, classes held in Hartnett

will be moved to similar-sizedrooms in Moore.While classes will go on as

scheduled, there is some concernthat students in some of the morehands-on disciplines, such as art,broadcasting and theater, will missout on the practical aspects of theirclasses.

THE DAMAGE: A preliminary estimate proj-ects the cleanup costs at $500,000. Withdamage to equipment figured in, the totalcould be higher.

HOW LONG: Hartnett Hall will be closed forsix to eight weeks. On Monday, JaredEdwards, head of Plant Services, said eightweeks might be optimistic.
