At the border of two mighty nations a battle takes place once ayear for the sake of pride. The Battle on the Border dodge balltournament is almost upon us and Minot State University is look-ing for brave men and women to compete in a one-day, winner-take-all, round-robin style tour-nament, Sunday, Sept. 21.Event coordinator Aaron

Hughes encourages any studentwith a valid MSU I.D. to sign upfor a day of fun and internationalcompetition. The deadline to signup is Wednesday, Sept. 17, at 4:30 p.m. in the Student SuccessCenter. International Students should bring their passports.Charter buses will depart from MSU Sunday at 11 a.m. and

arrive at the Peace Garden at 2 p.m. Students daring enough tosign up will be provided lunch and dinner as well as a free T-shirtto commemorate the occasion. Roughly three years ago, MSU challenged Brandon University

from Manitoba, Canada, to a game of dodge ball at the ironicallynamed Peace Garden. It was there the students from MSU repre-senting the U.S. claimed their first victory; then their second andtheir third. In fact, MSU is undefeated in this rivalry.For additional information see Aaron Hughes in the Student

Success Center across from the Beaver Dam.

Battle on the Border withBrandon University - Part IV By Ayman AlQasem

Staff WriterMinot State University has a new

face on campus, Pastor ChristophSchmidt with Lutheran CampusMinistry (LCM). Schmidt takes overLCM from Kari Williamson who leftthe position in April to pastor achurch in Minnesota. LCM is an out-reach program of EvangelicalLutheran Church of America(ELCA).Schmidt’s office is on the second

floor of the Wellness Center, or emailhim at [email protected]. LCM activities are inAdministration 158.Schmidt describes the ministry as

Lutheran. While it’s open for every-one, Christians or otherwise,Schmidt reiterates that the Ministryis a denominational entity. He spokeof its ministry at MSU.“A board of directors made up of

members of local Lutheran congre-gations runs the ministry independ-ently of the university,” Schmidtsaid. This board, the LutheranCampus Ministry Board of Directors,

Schmidt leads Lutheran Campus Ministry

includes MSU staff and studentmembers.Schmidt said the LCM has

three pre-programmed weeklyactivities on campus. EveryTuesday it provides free soup andbread from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.It was so popular last year theyprovided an average of 150 mealsa week.

Every Wednesday the Ministryholds a worship service at 8:30p.m., and every Thursday it holdsa Table Talk at noon. Students areencouraged to bring their lunch tothe Table Talk.Schmidt said one of the most

important services the Ministryprovides is its annual Spring Breakservice trip. This is a volunteerevent where students travel tohelp out in an area in need. Oneprevious trip involved studentsbuilding houses in Florida. Lastyear, students helped in the home-less community in Portland, OR.Schmidt said the LCM works

with Residence Life to provide aspiritual awareness program forstudents in the residence halls.“The Ministry’s primary objec-

tive is to show the love of Christ inour words and our deeds to thecommunity,” Schmidt said. “TheMinistry provides space wherestudents can be in a safe place, askquestions about their faith, growin their faith, study the Bible andhave a worship environment.”

On Movies‘The Guardians of the Galaxy’

by Alex NelsonStaff Writer

Hello. I hope everyone had agood summer and for new stu-dents, welcome to MSU. Anothersummer has come and left; so didits selection of film. Well, most ofthem. There is one summer filmthat stands out and that is stillshowing at the theater - theMarvel cinematic feature,“Guardians of the Galaxy.”The movie stars Chris Pratt,

Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, VinDiesel, Bradley Cooper, Lee Pace,Glenn Close and Benicio del Toro.It is directed by James Gunn andbased on the Marvel comic book.In the outskirts of space, a

human thief named Peter Quill(Pratt), also known as Star Lord,has stolen an object known only asthe orb. Its abilities are mysteri-ous, but many alien beings withinthe galaxy, such as the fanaticRonan, the Accuser (Pace) and theCollector (del Toro) desire it.

Quill is soon arrested by theNova Corps and its leader, NovaPrime (Close). Quill is sent to aprison along with Gamora(Saldana), the galaxy’s deadliestassassin, Drax (Bautista), a war-rior seeking revenge and bountyhunters Rocket (Cooper), ahumanoid raccoon and Groot(Diesel), a tree-like alien.They all have their own objec-

tives and they do not like oneanother. These five learn veryquickly that Ronan is looking forthe orb, and also has a strongdesire to destroy the alien planetknown as Zandar and will destroyanything that gets in his way.After escaping the prison, this

band of criminals will have towork together in order to save thegalaxy. That is - if they don’t killeach other first.When I first saw this trailer

before the summer began, I had noidea who or what the “Guardiansof the Galaxy” were. Many of usknow of The Avengers, but notmuch about these guys. Well, ifthey weren’t well known before,they sure are now.

Casting wise, the right actorswere chosen well for each part,even if it sounds odd that Prattfrom “Parks and Recreation,”Saldana from “Star Trek,” thewrestler Bautista and Diesel andCooper (who lend their voices inthis movie) are working together.This odd combination actuallyworks well together, and eachcharacter is given a moment in thespotlight.I enjoyed all the scenes they

were in together as we get thissense that they do not care for oneanother, but as time goes on, theybegin to trust each other. Prattwas the last person in my mind toplay a superhero, but he actuallypulls it off as he is able to be funnyand serious at times.Saldana, of course, has the

experience of playing an alien(Avatar) and has no problem withit, while also once again doing agreat job. Bautista, I will admit, Iwas nervous about as I have onlyseen him in the movie “Riddick”and I wasn’t certain he could do it.After watching his performance asDrax, I can happily say that he has

proven me wrong.Cooper and Diesel do a great

job as voices for the charactersRocker and Groot. It was almosthard to believe that it was theirvoices for these two characters.The cast, in my point of view, wasable to play off of one another andsuccessfully work together to getthe job done.For every good hero there must

be a great villain. Lee Pace does anexcellent job playing the world-destroying Ronan. While Loki is adeadly villain in “The Avengers,”he is a fan favorite who people canlike. Ronan, on the other hand, issomeone you do not wish to meetand you hope he loses in the end.Pace’s chilling performance as thecharacter gives us a villain wecannot feel anything for exceptcontempt. If we did like Ronan,the Accuser, then he wouldn’t bedone right.The special effects are well

done and the looks for the alienspecies are impressive, mostnotably, the effects for Rocket andGroot. They looked very realisticand not cartoon-like.

One unique thing about thestory I like is that the Guardiansthemselves do not start out asgood people. They are basicallycriminals and thugs who havetheir own goals in mind.However, they learn to worktogether and also learn that thereis more to life than personaldesires.There are not many flaws that

come to my head, however, onemain one is that many people maynot know who the characters areand might have a problem under-standing what is going on. Also,the film has humor and many ref-erences to the 1980’s culture. Inoticed, while watching it a fifthtime, that some people did notunderstand the references.Besides this the film, in my opin-ion, does not have many flaws.Overall, this was my favoritemovie of the summer. The cast isenjoyable to watch and I hope tosee them again in the future.I rate “Guardians of the

Galaxy” 5 out of 5 Beavers.

When heading to the Dome tocatch a Beavers’ victory, studentsand faculty may notice a newbuilding being erected just northof the Dome. Footings and foun-dations are already set on Minot

State University's new FacilitiesManagement building. Brian Smith, facility manage-

ment director, said the new build-ing is pre-fabricated and beingdelivered and assembled in largepieces. The total cost of the proj-ect, expected to be completed in

January 2015, is estimated to be$2.4 million and is financed bystate appropriated funds.The Facilities Management

department is an organizationresponsible for handling manysafety-related issues. Smith saidthe current building is not big

enough for the department to runas productively as needed. Thenew building will have moresquare footage and expand thedepartment’s abilities to takeaction quicker and more efficient-ly than before.The current facilities manage-

ment building will be re-purposedand dedicated to academics oncethe new building is open. Formore information on the project,contact the Facility Managementoffice.

For all the advantages of ourintimately sized campus, it is stillrightly said that MSU is notori-ously bad at advertising some ofits coolest student programs. Onegem you might not be aware of:the Math Talk series! It is part dis-cussion of ideas and insights, andpart recruitment for unique, inter-disciplinary (résumé building)student research. The monthlytalks by professors and studentskicked off its fourth year Aug. 28with Minot State University mathand computer science instructorNarayan Thapa’s presentation of“Inverse Problems, TheirApplications, and Undergraduatetraining in STEM.”If, like me, you’re an outsider

to the world of mathematics, youcan barely understand the point ofdecimals, much less how anyonecould voluntarily sit throughmath lectures with long, intelli-gent-sounding names for fun. Soyou can imagine my surprise andrelief when I realized it wasn’tactually a lecture about high-levelmath. Topics included medicine,meteorology, geology, criminaljustice, undergraduate educationand pretty much everything elseunder the sun, all united by aneffective approach to problemsolving that encourages creativethinking and cross-discipline col-laboration. It was pretty fun.I was also surprised to learn

that the Math Talks series waspart showcase for the accomplish-ments of student research towhich the talks are inexorablylinked. Recent notable triumphsincluded a paper on the treatmentof Type II Diabetes Mellitus (nowunder review), which KowanO’Keefe will present at the NorthDakota UndergraduateMathematics Conference, Sept. 20at 9 a.m. in Model Hall.You can also see some of math

major Chloe Ondracek’s researchon projectile models when shegives her own Math Talk at 5 p.m.

on Sept. 25 in Model Hall 330. Yes,the same research that she sharedat Princeton this summer got herinvited to Stanford. That’s onlytwo examples, but this is a smallpaper. For more, go tohttp://www.minotstateu.edu/ndumc/confspeakers.shtml. I pro-vide a URL because it’s tricky tofind from the school homepage.This series is a great opportu-

nity for students to learn aboutand participate in solving, well,inverse problems. The problemsfor which there are no fixed meth-ods to arrive at solutions. Theproblems which often require stu-dents to work backwards from theresults to find method and cause.Problems which move students ofmultiple disciplines (not limitedto those mentioned above) tounite for months with a commongoal. And I, for one, cannotbelieve I didn’t know about it.For anyone who may be inter-

ested, Thapa assures me a strongmathematics background is not aprerequisite to participation inresearch (after all, it is interdisci-plinary). What is required?“People with talent and inter-

est,” he said. “Interest is moreimportant than talent. I can get ina room with interested studentsand talk for hours until we comeup with a solution.”Interested students should

contact Thapa and inquire aboutresearch possibilities, even ifyou’re not in the math depart-ment. Don’t let the prestigioustone of it scare you.“There is a possibility for infi-

nite solutions… or none,” he said.“The focus is on guiding studentsfrom the role of advisee to that ofcontributor; helping them usetheir passions to build their ownexperiences in preparation for theworkforce and graduate studies.”As for the rest of you, remem-

ber, though the talks are foundedin the STEM disciplines, they areopen and free for anyone to enjoy.The variety of topics make thetalks themselves a good bet forthose interested in unusual pointsof view, new developments by sci-ence and technology or the holisticvoodoo of education in general.Also open to students is the

second annual North DakotaUndergraduate MathematicsConference, to be held in ModelHall Saturday, Sept 20. You haveto register by Sept 16, so look it upon the school website. Free to allparticipants. Lunch is provided.The next Math Talks will be on

Oct. 30, Nov. 20 and Dec. 11 at 5p.m., in Model Hall (west of OldMain), Room 330. Remember, it’snot Aleshire Theater; you don’tneed a ticket, the lights don’t dimand you are free to ask questionsafterward.Go to Math Talks!

Besides former MankatoMaverick Adam Thielen makingthe Minnesota Vikings’ 53-manroster this NFL season, the foot-ball talk of the NSIC would be thecoaching escapade of Minot StateUniversity (MSU) and MinnesotaState University Mankato(MSUM).For those of you who missed it,

when former Beaver head coachPaul Rudolph took a job at UND,former Mankato head coach ToddHoffner took over. Hoffner wasfired from Mankato two seasonsearlier in a controversial misun-derstanding that was still beingaddressed in court. Two monthsinto training the Beavers and sell-ing himself to the players andcommunity, Hoffner was proveninnocent and offered his old job atMankato. Without warning toanyone, Hoffner took the job backand fled Minot. To make mattersworse, the Mankato players ini-tially refused to play under him.I want to put this situation into

perspective. Hoffner had everyright both legally and personallyto go back to Mankato. However,the difficulty was the way inwhich he conducted himself whileemployed by MSU and his depar-ture from Minot. While at Minot,Hoffner sang his loyalty to MSUand stressed personal develop-ment with players. Leaving with-out a peep not only left AthleticDirector Rick Hedberg and therest of the coaching staff speech-less and momentarily lost, but hisdesertion devastated the players.While in Mankato over the

summer for an internship, I hadfree time in the evening anddecided to go for a run. Whilestretching on the track after myworkout, I was approached by a“Minnesota nice” Mankato resi-dent and MSUM alum (graduatedabout 30 years ago). Of the multi-ple topics brought up, the coach-

ing situation from our respectivealma maters was a hot topic.While this stranger is a Maverickfan and has a personal local con-nection to Hoffner’s wife, not eventhat loyalty could deny Hoffner’sbad blood in the NSIC. TheMinnesotan’s words still ringclear:“He made a promise, and he

didn’t stick to his word.”Far removed from that situa-

tion in this present day, theBeavers found Tyler Hughes.Hughes comes from being an

assistant coach under UrbanMeyer at Ohio State and as headcoach at Snow College inEphraim, Utah from 2011-2012(coached Viking’s RB Matt Asiata)where he holds a 20-4 record ashead coach. Joining Hughes is awhole new coaching staff. Already getting a delayed start

in the spring and into the summer,the task at hand is building a pro-gram that can compete in theNSIC. The Beavers went 2-9 lastseason, complete with 31turnovers. This is an opportunityand a challenge to change theexpectations for Beaver football.A component that is at the core

of this issue is the players. While Iempathize for both Minot andMankato players in the ordeal, theBeavers got the short end of thestick during that time. TheBeavers have had four headcoaches this year. After Rudolphstepped down, a stranger wasnamed head coach. The teamtreated him with the utmostrespect. They welcomed him asfamily and bought into what hewas preaching only to be rejectedand walked out on. ByronThomas, defensive coordinator,was named interim head coachbefore Hughes came in. For theplayers to come together after theinitial detachment, show up to 6a.m. weights as scheduled andcontinue working hard, speaks

Minot State University headclub hockey coach Wade Regier,along with assistants, Tim Kirbyand Jordan Willert, sat at the topof the Maysa Arena for a differ-ent point of view for the finalpractice of training camp lastweek. A former player and thirdassistant coach, Jared McIntosh,ran the scrimmage in the finalday of camp. Of the 31 playersentering camp, 28 remain.The final roster is comprised

of 16 forwards, nine defensemenand three goalies. Last year’s ros-ter carried 26 players, but ran intodepth issues down the stretchcompared to the 2012-2013 sea-son which had 28.“We wanted to add more

depth this year. Nine regularswere out of the line-up in lastyear’s Crosby Cup,” Regier said.“That really hurt us.”Nine defensemen remain of

the 12 who entered camp. Threeforward prospects, ChasenDobranski, Garrett Annetts andHayden Schwartz, did not makethe final roster. Previous defense-

men Dillon Smith, Ryan Curzon,and Rikard Lundin are listed onthe offensive end.“It’s going to be an interesting

take on the practice side,” Regiersaid.Too many quality defensemen

put good players out of the line-up when only six or seven dressper game. Veterans Smith andCurzon appeared in 20 and 25games respectively out of 33. Thetrio provides a unique skill set tothe roster in Curzon’s tough,physical play and with thefinesse of Lundin and Smith.“They are excited,” Regier

said. “That’s part of the reasonthey are on the team. They have agood work ethic, great motiva-tion, great attitude.”Minot High alum and forward

recruit Schwartz stepped asidebefore camp started for personalreasons, but may join the Beaversas soon as next semester. The cen-ter position had the toughest bat-tle at camp between Nespor,Olson, Bryce Lipinski, Dickersonand Dobranski.“It was a numbers thing,”

Regier said. “It’s just about find-

ing the right guys that are goingto be the right fit for our pro-gram.”The next couple of weeks will

consist of chemistry building andconstructing lines. Fifteen of the28 players are returners, soRegier and the coaching staffhave their work cut out.MSU travels to Caronport, SK,
