“Our mission is to bring smiles,happiness and magic to children’slives,” Schnaible said. “We dressup as characters from fairytales,TV and comic books, and bringthem to life for birthday partiesand other events. We haveprincesses, superheroes, piratesand many others.”Recently, a few MSU students

portrayed characters from themovie “Frozen” and greeted andentertained audiences at Minot’sHøstfest. Tiffany Azzarello dressed up

as the Snow Queen, Hannah Davisas the Snow Princess, and JarynHomiston as the Ice Harvester.“When I was first told about

this company, I was completelyblown away,” Homiston said. “It’smy dream job, getting to portray

all of these characters, and it hasbeen so much fun. The rewardingpart is the reactions, getting to seekids get excited when you walk

through the door. It makes the jobgo from good to great, not to men-tion I have a super cool boss.Angela is so nice and caring aboutevery aspect of the job. She wantsthe kids to get the most out ofevery minute.”

“I love this job,” Davis said.“Most little girls grow up wantingto be a princess, and I actually getto do that. It’s really great that Iget paid to dress up, and it’s greatto see the reactions of kids andadults when they see their favoritecharacter in person for the firsttime. Sometimes the adults areeven more excited than the kids.”Schnaible started the company

in 2012, and it is becoming morepopular each year. She has a rosterof employees and actors, includ-ing MSU students. With a websiteand Facebook page, the companyis growing.“We want to provide some-

thing different in our community,something fun for the kids andbring smiles to their faces, andbring that fun magic to their par-ties,” Schnaible said.

Submitted byMSU Financial Aid Officehe 2017-18 Free Application for

Federal Student Aid (FAFSA),which is the federal financial aidapplication used to apply forfinancial aid for Fall 2017, Spring2018 and Summer 2018 becameavailable on Oct. 1, 2016.In previous years, students had

to wait until Jan. 1 to file.Students can file their 17-18

FAFSA now at fafsa.gov using2015 income and tax information. There are many benefits to stu-

dents for filing their FAFSA early,one of which is maximizing theireligibility for federal aid as well asthe N.D. State Grant. The StateGrant program has now changedfrom an April 15 priority deadlineto a first-come, first-awarded basisuntil funds are exhausted. Filingthe FAFSA as early as possible willhelp a student not miss out on anyState Grant or federal funding.Other benefits of filing a

FAFSA early include the ability touse older tax information from the2015 year which eliminates stu-

dents estimating their taxes andhaving to later update them in theFAFSA. Since students willalready have filed their taxes bythe time they fill out their FAFSA,they may be able to use the IRSData Retrieval tool in the financialsection of the FAFSA to quicklyand accurately import their 2015income tax information.In addition, if students apply

for scholarships that require theresults of the FAFSA, they’ll havemore time to get their FAFSA sub-mitted before scholarship dead-lines.Because of the use of earlier tax

info, some students will find thatthe income information beingused is quite different from theircurrent financial situation.Students are encouraged to con-tact the financial aid office if therehas been a significant change inincome. Don’t forget to add MinotState’s school code to the FAFSA:002994.For more information, visit

Christoph SchmidtMSU Campus ChaplainIn five days, Americans will

go to the polls tovote. While mostof the attentionis on the presi-dential race,there are alsodozens of local and state races tobe decided. I sincerely hope thatyou will make the effort to voteand make your voice heard.

As citizens, you and I have aresponsibility to be educated vot-ers. Personally, I try to learn asmuch as I can about the currentcandidates, measures and ballotinitiatives. After educating myselfin various ways, I try to cast myvote in a way that best reflects myvalues and aspirations for ourcountry. If I feel that I don’t knowenough about a particular race orissue, I’ll elect to leave that race

blank.This may be obvious, but there

is a lot of disillusionment in ourcountry right now. Many peopleare anxious about this electionand about their future. Part of thisanxiety comes from dissatisfac-tion over our choices of candi-dates – the feeling that our politi-cians won’t actually bring aboutany positive change.

I wonder, however, if some ofour anxiety and disillusionment isa result of misplaced expectations.Perhaps we expect too much outof our political system? It mightbe helpful to remind ourselvesthat our institutions are made upof imperfect people. Despite theirefforts and good intentions, ourpoliticians will make mistakesand poor choices that lead to real-world consequences.Then again, sometimes they

will get it right. Sometimes our

government will make decisionsand spend our tax dollars in waysthat bring the common good tothe greatest number of people.

This is one of the many rea-sons that it’s important to thinkabout your belief system, i.e., yourspirituality and religion. Withoutfaith or an articulated world view,the current state of political affairscould easily lead to despair. Thereis, after all, much that is brokenand hopelessly dysfunctionalwithin our country and world.Our religious beliefs and spiri-

tuality, however, remind us of thebig picture. The knowledge that“this too shall pass” gives us per-spective, helping us to cope withpresent troubles. Our beliefs helptemper our political expectations,helping us to ground ourselves inthat which is actually deserving ofour faith, and in those things thatcan actually make a difference.

International culturalcelebration set for Nov. 17

By Ton YamashitaComm 281

Minot State UniversityDiversity Counsel invites all stu-dents, faculty and staff to partici-pate in this year’s InternationalCultural Celebration from 11a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 17 on the sec-ond floor of the Student Center.The event is part of InternationalEducation Week.According to the Bureau of

Education and Cultural Affairs,“International Education Week isan annual, nation-wide effort toprepare Americans for a globalenvironment and attract futureleaders from abroad to study,learn, and exchange experiencesin the United States. It is a jointinitiative of the U.S. Departmentof State and the U.S. Departmentof Education.”Libby Claerbout, director of

International Programs at MSU,described the focus of the event.“Basically, it’s a chance to cele-

brate the international studentsand scholars that come to the U.S.,and recognize their cultures,” shesaid. “But then, also to encourageAmerican students to learn aboutthe world, to have experiencesabroad with the belief that build-ing relationships with people fromaround the world is going to pro-mote world peace.”Although Minot is not as big

or diverse as some U.S. cities,MSU boasts 355 internationalstudents, 146 of them non-Canadians, representing 51countries. The MSU DiversityCouncil is giving these students

a chance to represent their cul-ture, and giving attendees anopportunity to learn more aboutcultures from around the world.In addition to students from

other countries participating inthis event, the Diversity Councilencourages other groups as well,such as Native American culture,Advocacy Network and LGBTQgroups.“Any culture that wants to be

represented in the celebration iswelcome, “ Claerbout said.Diversity Council is open to

any club, and will provide thespace for groups and help set upa booth or table. To sign up tojoin the International CulturalCelebration, contact Claerbout [email protected], Nov. 8, is the deadline.“This is the fourth year that

we’re doing this event,”Claerbout said, “It started outpretty small, with only 12 tablesparticipating, but last year wehad 26.”No matter where you’re from,

it’s always important to experi-ence a variety of cultures, some-thing that can be difficult in aplace like Minot. Likewise, evenin school, generally studentsmight not experience the differ-ent cultures that exist on campus.Thus, especially for domesticstudents, this event is a greatopportunity to expose them-selves to and experience differ-ent cultures. For internationalstudents, this event is a goodopportunity to proudly repre-sent and display their culture.

MSU invites Japanese taiko drumming groupby Ton YamashitaAssistant Editor

A traditional Japanese drum-ming team, Fubuki Daiko, willperform tomorrow at 8 p.m. inAnn Nicole Nelson Hall as part ofMinot State University’s Day ofPercussion.Fubuki Daiko, from Winnipeg,

Canada, has been performing formore than 20 years across NorthAmerica.

Attendees will not only enjoythe sound, but the visuals as well.

The performance is full of energywith a wide variety of entertain-ment, including martial arts, dis-plays of athleticism and lots ofchoreography.“I think what I find most excit-

ing, is that it’s fun to watch,” AvisVeikley, MSU art and percussioninstructor said. “It’s almost like atheatrical performance as well as amusical performance. And it isn’tall just drums. Sometimes theyplay flutes with the drums.”Fubuki Daiko uses four differ-

ent types of drums, which aregenerally big, booming drums.Traditional Japanese drums areusually played with sticks andthis is quite unique when com-pared to other traditional drums,many of which are played byhand. Playing with sticks, thedrummers make big gestures andplay very dramatically, so they lit-erally play with their bodies.This style of Japanese drum-

ming has a long history, originat-See Japanese — Page 5

Changes coming toMSU email accounts

By Dan FaganStaff Writer

The state legislature has man-dated all North Dakota UniversitySystem institutions to use the sameemail system — Office 365.The consolidation of college

email across the state is part of aneffort to get all campuses on a com-mon system. Eight of 11 campuseshave already consolidated to a sin-gle system.This means MSU students will

see updates and changes to theircurrent school email accounts. Theusername (login name) foraccounts ending with ‘@my.minot-stateu.edu’ will change to‘@ndus.edu.’ The email addresswill be ‘@minotstateu’ —just as it isfor faculty and staff.The change begins Nov. 28.“For the current students, we’ll

set up a forward on all of theaccounts so any new mail that goesinto the old email account will getsent to the new email account,”Darren Olson, director of networkservices at MSU’s IT Central, said.“We’ll also transfer all existingmail into the new account, but wewon’t be transferring contacts andcalendar.”Any mail sent to the old account

will continue to be forwarded tothe new account. Students willneed to transfer their contacts andcalendar events to the newaccount. Accounts on the old sys-tem will remain open until 2018,when they will be permanentlyeliminated. Users of these oldaccounts will receive occasionalreminders of the account’s termi-nation.According to a memo from IT

Central and the North DakotaUniversity System, students willcontinue to have access to the samefeatures as current accounts withOffice 365 including: OneDrive forBusiness file storage, Skype forBusiness, and SharePoint. Being onthe same system ensures file com-patibility among students, faculty

and staff, which is a primary bene-fit of the email consolidation. While the change to a single sys-

tem is anticipated to go smoothly,there are some concerns.“The biggest problem I see is

everyone having their new emailaccount set up on their phone,”Olson said. “They’ll have toremove the old account and addthe new one.”In addition to adding their new

account to their phone, studentswill need to remember to transfertheir contacts and calendar, as well.Usernames will change to the newemail account ending in ‘ndus.edu’and passwords will continue to bethe same as used for CampusConnection and Blackboard.

You won’t get a chance veryoften in this area to see this kind

Roland Riemers is the Libertarian candidate for the office of State Auditor. Libertarians believein Smaller Government and More Freedom. Thus Riemers pledges to increase efficiencyand decrease the Auditor’s budget by 5%. His Republican Opponent (there is no endorsedDemocratic candidate) wants to increase the staff and the budget.

Riemers believes a state agency audit should include how well that agency serves the public. His opponent wants to just make sure an agency just follows the law and the numbers comeout right.

Riemers is a successful self employed businessman and has worked a wide variety of jobs,both private and public. His Opponent has only studied business in college and has worked only soft government jobs.

Riemers has served in various political positions at both the state and national level, hassupported numerous state and national causes, and it is mainly thru his efforts that the Libertarian Party is now a recognized political party in North Dakota. His opponent has servedonly as a precinct chairman and supports no causes or taken a position on any public issue.

Riemers will keep the Auditor’s Office completely objective and non-partisan. His Opponentbelieves party loyalty comes first, and thus supports Trump even though he stronglydisagrees with Trump’s actions.

(MSU Sports Information) —Minot State University wanted toestablish a running game againstMinnesota Crookston.Ben Zahniser and company

made sure ithappened.Zahniser, a

true freshman,set a schoolrecord with 264yards rushingand tied anoth-er as he scoredfour times,while the MSU defense made acouple of key stops down thestretch to push the Beavers to a 38-30 win over Minnesota Crookstonin Northern Sun IntercollegiateConference football Oct. 22 atHerb Parker Stadium.“It’s pretty cool,” Zahniser said

of the school record. “I have togive the credit to the linemen. Isaw some holes during the gameI’ve never seen before in my life. Ireally expect us to be good overthe next few years. This gives us

some confidence.”He keyed a backfield that

rolled to a season-high 320 yardsrushing. The Beavers also got 61yards from senior JarvisMustipher and 14 from TyereHunter as the Beavers amassed aseason-high 515 total yards.“You never go into games

thinking a record could be broken,but Ben’s done a nice job,” headcoach Tyler Hughes said. “Allyear we’ve emphasized that ourbacks are sharp with their readsand cuts.”But the game was still in the

balance late in the game and theBeavers defense, which gave upsome big chunks of yards at times,needed to come up with big stops.After Aaron La Deaux knockedhome his first field goal of theyear to make it 38-30, the Beaversdefense came up big to lock downthe win.“It’s a good feeling to get a

win,” Hughes said. “As I told theteam in the locker room, thisleague is so hard to win games in.
