Zombies invade campus May 4-8By Richard Allen

Comm 281Something is happening at Minot State

University. A disease or virus is infectingstudents and turning them into flesh-eatingmonsters. No one knows the origin of thisoutbreak, and official sources are unable tocomment on whether or not it’s related tothe T-Virus that destroyed Raccoon Cityyears ago. One thing is for sure. Beavers arenot going to take this lying down.Participants are encouraged to register

now through May 1 at the Beaver Damfrom 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 5 to6:30 p.m. or at their residence hall.If you or someone you know is willing to

fight back at the walking deceased, here aresome things you should know.1. Wear your bandana. Humans wear

green ones around their arms and theinfected wear red on their head or neck.2. Wrist band signifies you’re fair game

to the undead and, if the worst should hap-pen, they get said wristband.3. There is currently no known cure.

Once you become a brain eater, you stay a

brain eater.4. Balled up socks are the best and only

means of defending yourself. If formerlyliving school friends try to eat you and youthrow a balled-up sock at them, it freezesthem for 30 seconds. On the flip side, theymust physically tag you, not your backpack, in order to retrieve your wrist band.5. Inside of buildings is safe. They’re Z-

words, not velociraptors. They can’t opendoors.6. The most important rule of all – don’t

be a poor sport. If we can’t all play fair andhave fun, then there really is no point tosaving humanity in the first place.The event takes place May 4 through

May 8, culminating with a block partyafterwards on the 8th. For more informa-tion, contact Gemma Biasetto or the broad-casting department. Also, if you find your-self at the official Humans vs. Zombieswebsite, please ask advice about any itemsfrom the website before you buy them.They may be provided or straight up notallowed.

By Alex NelsonStaff Writer

Another semester is about fin-ished, and summer is just aroundthe corner. After finals, many of uswill most likely relax from thehomework and tests, perhaps lyingon the beach or getting the much-needed sleep we missed.Over the semester, we had plen-

ty of interesting films. As of now,we still have “Unfriended” and“Furious 7.” Summer comingmeans new movies are coming out,many of which appear to be veryentertaining.

On May 1, Avengers assemblein "The Avengers: Age of Ultron,”featuring Robert Downey Jr, ChrisEvans, Chris Hemsworth, MarkRuffalo, Scarlett Johansson,Jeremy Renner, James Spader andSamuel L. Jackson. The Avengersare the world’s mightiest heroes.They have faced many foes, butthis time are about to face offagainst their most deadly foe yet,Ultron. Ultron is an advanced A.I.robot that harbors a deep hatredfor humanity and will stop atnothing to destroy us and theAvengers. Now Iron Man,Captain America, Thor, Hulk,Black Widow and Hawkeye mustband together to fight off Ultron.

On May 15, the world goesmad with “Mad Max: Fury Road”featuring Tom Hardy, CharlizeTheron and Nickolas Hoult. Inthis post-apocalyptic thriller, theroad warrior must cross a danger-ous desert wasteland while escap-ing from a crazed population.On June 5, “Spy” is a go featur-

ing Melissa McCarthy, JasonStatham, Rose Byrne and JudeLaw. When the world is in danger,only one superagent can save us.No, it’s not Bond, but a desk-bound analyst with no field expe-rience.On June 12, the Park opens in

“Jurassic World,” which featuresChris Pratt and Bryce Dallas

Howard as two employees of theofficially opened Dinosaur Park.However, screams of joy will turnto screams of horror when a newbreed of dinosaur is unleashed.On July 1, he’s ba-a-a-ack.

“Terminator Genisys” featuresArnold Schwarzenegger, EmiliaClarke, Jai Courtney and JasonClarke. After a human resistancefighter from the future is sent to analternate timeline, he must workwith a machine that is protectingthe mother of the future resistanceleader. On July 17, heroes come in all

sizes, even ant size. “Ant-Man”stars Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lillyand Michael Douglas. Scott Lang,

a former petty thief, is offered tobecome something much morewhen an inventor gives him a spe-cial device that can cause him toshrink. With this new technology,he will become the Ant-Man, aprotector of the innocent.I have mentioned only a few of

the films coming out this summer.Others include “Pitch Perfect 2,”“Inside Out,” “Poltergeist,”“Fantastic Four” and more.I hope everyone gets a chance

to catch one or more of thesemovies. I also wish everyone luckon finals week. Hopefully every-one finishes this semester strong.Have a great summer and I

hope to see you at the theaters.

Fight exam stress with these simple tipsBy Shalyssa DeBin

Staff WriterExams cause stress. Big shock-

er. But how do you untangle thatweb of confusion that you callyour brain in time for exams? Theanswer isn’t simple, but the waysto do it are.Some choices are physical

activity, sleep, relaxation, diet,routine and herbal remedies.During the high-stress time ofexam studying, make sure youtake a good half hour doing yoga,or another light-intensity exercise.Anything high-intensity tends to

raise anxiety and doesn’t do muchfor stress relief.Sleep is something that every-

body knows is important. Stayingup all night cramming can actual-ly do you more harm than good.What you should try doing isstudy every day coming up toexams, but the night before, don’tstudy. You’ve already learned allyou can. You can’t force anythinginto that already big head ofyours. So relax. Go to sleep.Speaking of relaxation, you can

calm any anxiety down beforethat big day by placing your

hands on your stomach and chest.Focus on your breathing. Try tohear your heart beating. (Don’t dothis if you’re having a panicattack. It could rev you up!)For the day of exams, try eating

a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast.Add some milk and honey insteadof other sugars to keep anxiety atbay. You can have a cup of greentea, which actually helps concen-tration better than coffee. Greentea actually improves mentalalertness and focus.Bananas, spinach and eggs are

all foods that boost concentration

and aid in productivity. So insteadof going for that bag of candy orRed Bull, have a banana and somedark chocolate. For those whoenjoy herbal remedies, try havingsomething lavender scented. Thisis extremely calming andimproves mental clarity. Andmost of all, keep drinking water!Good luck!This information was gathered

from the website,news.health.com/2014/07/21/10-foods-that-boost-concentration.

MSU’s Matthew Eddy produces ‘A Bold Peace’Film portrays Costa Rica’s path of demilitarization

By Vanessa BridgefordComm 281

Matthew Eddy, assistant profes-sor of social science at Minot StateUniversity, has co-produced anddirected a film about non-violenceand Costa Rica titled “A BoldPeace.” He found that, years ago,Costa Rica became the only nationin the world without a military, giv-ing it the opportunity to redirectnational resources towards educa-tion, health and the environment.Thanks to this, Costa Rica hasearned the number one spot in theHappy Planet Index, a ranking ofcountries based on measures ofenvironmental protection and thehappiness and health of its citizens.And the World Database ofHappiness, with data on 149 nationscompiled by a Dutch sociologist,lists Costa Rica as number one inself-reported happiness and num-ber one in happy life years.“How do people around the

world think and feel about non-vio-lence? Do they think conflictsshould be solved with non-vio-lence? Or do they think that militaryforce is sometimes necessary? Dothey think no-violence protestwould work, usually work or oftenwork or usually fail?”These are the questions that

came to Eddy when he started look-ing for a disertation topic for hisdoctorate, guided by his interest innon-violence, partly inspired by hischildhood.“Growing up with my father,”

Eddy remembers, “from a veryyoung age talking about MartinLuther King Jr. He had the goodluck of spending a weekend withhim, driving around town, sharingmealtimes. My father was in themarch of Washington, where thefamous speech was given. That wasprobably the thing my father wasmost proud of in his life, was beingat that speech”Eddy talks about how his whole

life he grew up with the respect oftraditional non violence and so,when he got to graduate school, hewas looking for a topic for research.

“I thought, I am going to fall

into non-violence, and so I did,” hesaid.During his research he found

some interesting facts.“As I started to look at surveys

that other people have done aroundthe world,” he said, “I realized thatthere were a few countries that werepopping up as really strong believ-ers in non-violence, and one of themwas Costa Rica.“That increased my interest in

the culture and the history. What isit about Costa Rica that is sounique? Fascinating, complex, his-torical development that led them toeventually abolish their militaryand really to rely more on diploma-cy and international law than mostcountries do because they do nothave a military,” he said.Eddy and his team had the

opportunity to interview the NobelPeace Prize winner, Oscar Ariel, for-mer Costa Rican president, alongwith a number of other importantpeople of Costa Rica’s history. Theresult is a compelling film.“I’m convinced that the man that

abolished their military, his name isJose Figueres Ferrer, is provably oneof the most interesting LatinAmerican leaders that people in theUSA have never heard of,” Eddysaid.The film has a web page

(http://aboldpeace.com) whichexplains that “A Bold Peace” collo-cates, or juxtaposes, the nationalpolicy of demilitarization in theyears since 1948 and 1949, with thecountry’s new focus on health, edu-cation and the environment. It fea-tures presidents, officials and schol-ars from the UN University forPeace, the University of Costa Rica,Costa Rican government officialsand ambassadors, and leaders ofmajor national co-operatives, aswell as journalists and citizens ofCosta Rica.“It has been a rewarding process,

and yes, non-violence is an impor-tant clause to non-violent resolu-tion. It works. It is inspiring” Eddysaid.For more information or to spon-

Marina Carrillo Prieto has beenliving in Minot since December2009, after moving to the MagicCity because of work and family.She has since embraced her lifewith joy, understanding andpatience.Characterized by her drive,

Carrillo Prieto tried her luck in theconstruction field by opening asmall, family-owned constructioncompany, but without success.She describes how hard it hasbeen for her and her three chil-dren, Jonathan (14 years old),Anneka (12) and Bryce (8) to suc-ceed in a country of opportunities.Carrillo Prieto enrolled in a

two-year program to become anadministrative assistant at DakotaCollege at Bottineau after a year oflooking for the right paperwork,document translations and mak-ing the wrong phone calls.At Minot State, she has man-

aged to not only earn the Who’sWho Among American UniversityStudents award, but also was rec-ognized this month for being thebest student in her program.With her charisma and hard

work, Carrillo Prieto is the vicepresident of the Spanish Club andvice president of the NativeAmerican Cultural AwarenessClub.She participated in a trip to San

Diego, Calif. and Mexico as atranslator for 12 Minot State stu-dents over this year’s SpringBreak as the students learned

about immigration and borderissues between Mexico and theUnited States.“When I saw the team for the

first time, I said, ‘WOW!’ tomyself,” Carrillo Prieto said. “Theenergy and the enthusiasm of thisyoung crowd was overwhelming.They made me feel old and, withthat said, I felt the need to protectthem all along.”The Lutheran Campus

Ministry sponsored the trip.According to Carrillo Prieto, itsmain goal was to learn hands-onfrom personal experiences aboutthe places and people most affect-ed by the continuous immigrationissues and to hear the stories ofchildren and their families whohave been “broken apart” by thefailing policies of the system.The students spent an after-

noon at the Lutheran CampusMinistry center at San Diego StateUniversity, where they heard thestories and struggles of undocu-mented students in the UnitedStates. Some of the issues the stu-dents shared were about the chal-lenges they had to overcomewhen trying to get scholarshipsand financial aid assistance with-out the proper documentation.“One of the questions that we

were asking ourselves, I think itwas, ‘Where is God in all of this?’We wanted to simply under-stand,” Carrillo Prieto said.Carrillo Prieto said she strong-

ly believes this was a life-changingexperience for all of the MSU stu-dents on the trip.

Kevin Harmon has been appointedvice president for student affairs byPresident Steven Shirley. Harmon, aMinot State University alumnus, hasbeen a part of MSU for about sevenyears, since he was named the Dean ofAdmissions in 2008. After that, hebecame the Assistant Vice President forEnrollment Management in 2011.Harmon will begin his new position onJuly 1.“I’ve worked with students for

about 26 years,” Harmon said, “as anelementary school teacher and then aprincipal in K-12. I see it as a naturaltransition to where I’m helping stu-dents with the issues that they face

daily, as well as to try to create an envi-ronment that allows them to succeed.” Harmon’s predecessor, Dick Jenkins,

will retire June 30 after 31 years at MSU.He and his wife are both retiring andwill move to their new lake cabin inMinnesota.“MSU has been a great place to

work,” Jenkins said. “I’ll miss my col-leagues, the contact with students, andthe mental challenge of being able todeal with different issues and problems,but at the same time, I’m looking for-ward to retirement. I hope I helped stu-dents and colleagues along the way,and helped make Minot State a betterplace.”Harmon believes that one of the

major issues that needs attention is stu-

dents’ accessibility toinformation andadvice. An all-roundsupport is needed bystudents — medical,financial, academic,and even personal,and Harmon believesthat all these cate-gories need to beequally sustained.“It’s my job to be an advocate for the

students. I’m hoping to get out and visitwith a lot of students — be very visi-ble,” Harmon said.Harmon practices an open-door pol-

icy and said he will be more than happyto receive students who have questions,need advice or simply want to chat.

MSU takes on St. CloudBy Kurt MillerSports Writer

The Minot State baseball teamhad its hands full over the week-end against No. 2 St. Cloud State,and the Huskies proved whythey're one of the best Division IIteams in the country.The Beavers scored just one

run as they fell to SCSU in thefirst two games, 6-0 and 11-1.MSU was unable to get going

offensively against SCSU'sGregory Reese in game one.They didn't have a base runnerreach third until the sixth inningand then weren't able to cash in.Reese threw a complete game,

surrendering seven hits andstriking out 10.St. Cloud scored two runs in

the first inning, one more in thethird, two in the fourth andanother in the fifth. Nicholas Hammerl (Sr.,

SS/2B) led the way offensivelyfor MSU, going 2-for-4. Hammerlwas the only Beaver to recordmultiple hits in game one.In game two, SCSU jumped

out to a 2-0 lead after one, andadded six more runs in the nexttwo innings before Minot Statescored its first run in the fourth.St. Cloud added two runs in

the fifth and one in the seventh toend the game in seven innings.Micah Holmen (Jr., 1B/3B)

recorded the Beavers’ lone RBI

in the fourth inning. Jared Young(Fr., 2B), Austin Berntson (Jr.,OF) and Hammerl each recordedtwo hits in game two.Minot State head coach Brock

Weppler acknowledged the well-played games by St. Cloud State,but noted where MSU needs toimprove going forward."We've got to get ahead in the

count," he said. "We want to startgetting guys swinging at ourpitches rather than putting our-selves in 3-1 and 3-2 counts andhaving the guys not worriedabout walking them."St. Cloud was propelled to a

game-one win Sunday afternoon,much in part due to startingpitcher Miks Shledon.Sheldon limited Minot State

to just two hits. Hammerl andJared Young (Fr., 2B) both sin-gled in the top of the first inning.Sunday’s game two produced

the Beavers’ first lead in theseries as MSU went up 2-1 in thetop of the third, but the lead wasshort-lived. St. Cloud counteredin the bottom of the third withtwo runs of its own, for a 3-2lead.With five more runs in the

bottom of the fourth, SCSU wason its way to win, 12-2.Young recorded the Beavers’

only multi-hit game, going 2-for-4 in game two. Paul Vogelsang

Softball team out of post-season playBy Vanessa Christiuk

Sports WriterLast week, the Minot State soft-

ball team looked to keep theirpost-season dreams alive. The twogames were must-wins to keep theconference tournament in sight.Playing Bemidji State at the SouthHill complex, it was the battle ofthe Beavers. In game one, JordanGrant managed to get around thebases twice, scoring two runs.Ashley Hill hit two sac flies, one ofthem scoring Melissa Bell, andMinot State won 3-1.The second game went a little

smoother for the MSU Beavers, asMindy Lorimor kept in the circlefor a second game. The first inningstarted hot as Rachel Burdettedrove in two runs. The bats con-tinued to roll as Melissa Bell andAli Cygan both hit triples. In thebottom of the 6th inning, AshleyHill ended the game in dramaticfashion. With the bases loaded,Hill launched a ball over the cen-ter-field fence. The four-run shotput Minot up 10-2, and the gamewas ended early due to the eight-run rule.With four games left in the reg-

ular season, the Beavers needed towin 3-4 of the games in their lastroad trip for a spot in the confer-ence tournament. The first oppo-nent of the weekend was the St.Cloud State Huskies. The firstgame was a close one. With MindyLorimor in the circle, the Beavers

managed to keep the game low-scoring. Ashley Hill and RachelBurdette each launched solo homeruns to get the Beavers on theboard. Unfortunately, the Huskiesmanaged to put up a 3 spot, andthe Beavers lost 3-2. The second game of the day

was a marathon. With the scoretied at four apiece after seveninnings of play, the teams headedinto the eighth. It wasn't until theninth inning that VanessaChristiuk drove in a run from afielder's choice and the Beaversled 5-4 in the top of the inning. St.Cloud battled back and the gamecontinued into the 10th. AlliCygan drove in the winning runfor the Beavers, as Alyssa Cornejostruck out the next three Huskybatters. Minot won, 6-5.Living to play another day, the

Beavers headed out to Duluth totake on the Bulldogs. The bats thathad been so hot for so long startedto cool down. The Beaversdropped game one, 3-0. Game twowas a different matter, however.With the bases loaded, AlyssaCornejo hit a rocket over the fencefor a grand slam. Then, later in thegame, Jordan Grant hit a double toscore Rylee Cygan, MindyLorimor, and Jenn Spencer. With arally like that, it seemed like noth-ing could stop them. However, theBeavers lost 9-8.Losing the sweep knocked the

Beavers from post-season play.
