Nine Minot State Universitystudents and Lutheran CampusMinistry Pastor Kari Williamsonhelped build a house for a singlemother and her two sons duringSpring Break. They travelled toLakeland, Fla., about a 45-minutedrive southeast of Orlando.

Minot State was the third ofvarious groups that worked onthe house at different times

through the locally-operatedHabitat for Humanity.

The MSU group, the secondlargest thus far, completed thesiding of the house and startedthe painting process. Other vol-unteer groups will complete theconstruction.

The students and campus pas-tor say they gained some life les-sons during their visit in Florida.They helped people in need andincurred some lasting memories.

Each took away different experi-ences.

“Hopefully, just an under-standing of how blessed we areand the fact that we were able tohelp someone else and just thesatisfaction,” Kari Williamson,campus pastor said.

Sleep Deprivation 101by Chris Petty

MSU Nursing StudentIndividuals, whether young

or old, enter college with a yearn-ing for an exciting and fulfillingcollege experience. Some wish todevote their time to their studies,others want to use this time tohave a good time and party, andthen there are those that includesports or work in their lives, aswell as go to school. Whateverthe reason that adults enter col-lege, sleep is a commonly neg-lected way in which peopledevote time. Students often for-feit time for sleep so that they candedicate more time to their aca-demic, social, or extracurricularactivities.

A recent study conducted bythe Journal of Adolescent Healthfound that 70 percent of collegestudents sacrifice the recom-mended eight-hours of sleep inorder to engage in other activi-ties. Students actually hindertheir ability to maximize theirpotential when they neglectsleep, regardless of the goal theyare working toward.

Sleep deprivation can causemany harmful effects.Individuals may not even be

aware of the negative effectsoccurring from sleep depriva-tion. Extended wakefulnessimpairs neurobiological func-tions that are critical for the pro-cessing of auditory information,including memory, attention,concentration, reaction time,stimulus perception, and behav-ioral regulation. These conse-quences can have detrimentaleffects on one’s ability to learnand retain new information.Keep this in mind the next timeyou are planning to pull an “all-nighter” to cram for your test.

Lack of quality sleep cancause negative effects on yourphysical health. Research haslinked sleep deprivation toincreased incidence of infection.Students may experience highblood pressure and poor bloodglucose control when they do notacquire adequate quality sleep.Poor blood glucose control canimpair your brain’s ability tofunction normally. When an indi-vidual’s physical health becomesimpaired, their ability to performphysical activities lessens.

Long-term sleep deprivationhas been shown to increase a per-son’s susceptibility to depression

and anxiety. When people sacri-fice sleep to achieve the goalsthat they have set for themselves,they can actually lose that moti-vation and drive that has beenpushing them. It is wonderful tobe passionate about achievinggoals that you set for yourself,just allow time for adequatesleep.

Sleep is imperative to yourcollege success. In order toensure that you get good qualitysleep on a regular basis, youshould work to control the stressin your life. Plan out your goalsand obligations and make a planon how you are going to com-plete them. Going to sleep at thesame time every night and wak-ing up at the same time everymorning assists your body tomaintain a balance. Limit yourcaffeine intake, because it caninhibit your ability to fall asleep.Exercising on a regular basis willallow you to get better qualitysleep and has many additionalbenefits.

Every college student hasgoals that they wish to achieveduring this time in their lives and

In the second edition of the1950s book called “Poisons:Properties, ChemicalIdentification, Symptoms AndEmergency Treatment” byVincent J. Brookes and Morris B.Jacobs, Ph.D., sodium fluoridehas been used to kill roachesand is extremely poisonous andis sold as an insecticide. Thebook also said that when fluo-ride is sold as a bug killer, it isdyed blue or green to avoidbeing mistaken for powders

used in baking.I’m not a doctor and don’t

know everything about fluoride,but I don’t like the idea of havinga known poison deliberatelyadded to the tap water.

Sodium fluoride is also said tobe harmful to the human body(even at low doses like in tapwater) and an extremely power-ful carcinogen in the second edi-tion of the book, “Floride theAging Factor: How to Recognizeand Avoid the Devastating

Effects of Fluoride,” by Dr. JohnYiamouyiannis.

In fact, the book also men-tioned studies that showed thecancer rates to be higher in citiesthat had fluoride in the waterthan cities that did not have fluo-ride in the water.

It also wasn’t like the peoplewho decided to put it in thewater couldn’t have known itwas poisonous, since it was soldand known as a roach killer even

On MoviesʻOz the Great and Powerfulʼ

by Alex NelsonStaff Writer

In 1939, the world was intro-duced to “The Wizard of Oz,”which has become a classic, Evenafter all these years, it is one of themost beloved films of our time.After 74 years, Oz has returned.

“Oz the Great and Powerful”stars James Franco, Mila Kunis,Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams,Zack Braff, Joey King, and BillCobbs. Directed by Sam Raimi, itis rated PG for scary images andmild language. Our story beginsin Kansas in the year 1905, wherewe meet Oscar Diggs, also knownas Oz (Franco), a young magician

working at a traveling circus whowishes to be rich and famous.Unfortunately, an incident at thecircus forces Oz to leave by usinga hot-air balloon which headsstraight into a twister.

Instead of Death, he lands inthe Land of Oz, where he meetsall sorts of creatures and people.He learns from the good witchTheodora (Kunis) that the king-dom of Oz has been waiting for ahero to save it from the bad WitchGlinda (Williams) who has takenover the land.

With promises of riches andpower from the witch Evanora(Weisz), Oz sets out on his quests.Assisted by a flying monkey,Finley (Braff), a China dollnamed China Girl (King) and theMaster Tinker (Cobbs), Oz willdo everything he can to free the

land of Oz from the evil witch.I was around six years old

when I first saw “The Wizard ofOz.” I instantly fell in love withthe film. It is one of those moviesyou cannot simply remake, but aprequel is a good idea, if you cando it right.

The beginning was kind ofslow, but it later picked up. Thecharacters in the film were actu-ally unique. While they did makereferences to some of the classiccharacters from the originalmovie, they did a good job hav-ing characters that can stand ontheir own and be entertaining.

We get some pretty good act-ing from our cast. We recognizemost of them from previous rolessuch as “Ted” from Mila Kunisand “127 Hours” from JamesFranco. The directing, in my

opinion, was good and decent.With Sam Rami being knownmostly for the “Evil Dead” seriesand “Spider Man” movies; heactually pulls through with thismovie. The special effects alsowere impressive, even thoughyou can tell CGI was used. I’msometimes wary of the use ofCGI, but it works in this film.

We get something of a backstory on how certain elements ofthe original film occurred,though some may not like theidea of having to know thesekinds of thing. In fact, some peo-ple may or may not enjoy the filmpossibly because of the idea of achildhood movie being tamperedwith. I will leave it to your opin-ion if the movie is good or not.Personally, the original “Wizard

Springtime and ...Snapple?

Ah, spring is in the air (as ofMarch 20, supposedly) so the wildlifeis bound to come out of its winterslump soon ... right?

While we wait for them toemerge, let’s submerge ourselves insome strange-but-true facts aboutNorth Dakota-related flora andfauna, as seen on Snapple drinkbottle caps:

#235: The biggest pig inrecorded history weighed almostone ton.

#236: Cows give more milkwhen they listen to music.

#396: The dragonfly can reachspeeds of up to 36 mph.

#740: Poison ivy is not ivy andpoison oak is not an oak; they areboth part of the cashew family.

#741: Plants, like humans, canrun a fever if they are sick.

#743: A group of geese on theground is a gaggle; a group ofgeese in the air is a skein.

#750: The common gardenworm has five pairs of hearts.

#778: Some bears build nestsin trees for sunbathing andresting.

Which brings us to our last funfact ...

#123: Beavers were once thesize of bears!

Hopefully this information willkeep you busy until we actually seelife 'spring' up.

Red & Green - March 28, 2013Opinion

by Ward LamonStaff Writer

I would first like to explain mytitle and point out I do, in fact,know what the album is called. Amost unique happenstanceoccurred before the release of thealbum: Ahmir "Questlove"Thompson, drummer of TheRoots band which has beenJimmy Fallon's official houseband since 2009, released thatJustin already has the second partof the album nearly completed toalso come out this year, inNovember. So, not only is JustinTimberlake delivering an albumseven years in the waiting, buthe's making it a two-part album,hence the name 20/20 Experience.

As I'm literally streaming this

album while writing and hearingit for the first time, there are cer-tain things I am noticing alreadythat confirm some of my precon-ceived notions about the album.Only a third of the way through, Ican already tell that Timberlake isreleasing some of his most vision-ary work and is executing theterm "experience" to its fullest.This album isn't your typical popalbum of today.

Today's pop albums fall into aneerily similar pattern, it wouldseem. Take someone like CarlyRae Jepsen for example. Her hitsingle, "Call Me Maybe," sawheavy radio play and was quiteliterally all over the world. Shethen built a full album on that -the song first came out on an EP -and they started to mine heralbum for other hit singles to tryand mimic the success of her firsthit. One Direction, Justin Bieber,

Nicki Minaj, they all are pop starsthat leap from one hit single toanother. First it's a music video,the single shoots to the top, thenthey watch it fall when someoneelse does the same thing, and theymust start the process again.

So if that is the pop albumnorm of today, what would a popveteran such as Timberlake do?Not fall into that trap, that's forsure. Timberlake has been there,done that and he's ready to step itup to the next level. He stated ear-lier this year that he never sawhimself as one of those musicianswho just drop new albums everyyear. He recognized that there hasto actually be some time to experi-ence some life in between or youeventually just lock yourself in onthe smaller-scale here-and-nowtopics that you see so often comefrom a full-time musician.

For instance, look at Taylor

Swift. Yes, I'm going to pick on heryet again. Perhaps if she took, Idon't know, a year or two off frommusic, she might be able to havean actual relationship and thenwrite about something else otherthan breakups and heartbreaks ...and turning 22. Seriously, she'scurrently 23 years old. Does mak-ing a song about what life was lastyear make any sense in the longerrun of things? Anyways, no; thisshort-term, "Hey! This just hap-pened to me! Let me write a songabout it!" sort of mindset is farbehind in JT's rear-view mirror.

The most indicative sign of thismore mature song-creatingprocess is found in the fact thathe's not formatting these songsstrictly for the radio. Radio editsof songs — for reasons other thanlanguage censorship — are usedto shorten up songs to a radio-friendly time of about three to

four minutes in length. It makesfor a tighter rotation of songs withgreater flexibility in shift format-ting. Timberlake's ten songsstretch over a period of just over70 minutes long.

Now over halfway throughstreaming this album, I can stillassure you this album lives up tothe mass amount of hype itreceived going in, including thenotable portion of hype that origi-nated from Timberlake's hardwork put into heavy promotion.

First, he released the single,"Suit and Tie," to the confusedcuriosity of fans; then came a lyricvideo shortly after he performedhis first gig on Super BowlWeekend. He later released hissecond single, "Mirrors," and hassince created music videos forboth singles. Churning up hype

Change will come, revolutionwill come, war will come andpeace will follow, right? I am apatriot. I support the UnitedStates most of the time and I lovewhat this country once was andthe beliefs it once stood for. Iwould defend not only this coun-try but its people from any threat,both foreign and domestic. It’staken some time, but people arefinally starting to see that thebiggest threat to this country andour security is not as much a for-eign threat as it is a domestic one.

I'm no expert on national secu-rity or international relations ...yet, but that doesn't mean I'mclueless about threats to a countryand its people. My dad served in

The VentThe heart of the patriot, part 1

the military for 26 years and Iwould gladly follow the samepath as he, but I feel I can makemore of an impact elsewhere.Military has been a part of my lifesince I was born and always willbe, so I have great passion aboutmilitary and national securitymatters.

One area I feel is the biggestthreat to the U.S is along oursouthern border with Mexico.Millions of illegal immigrants arein this country and virtually unac-counted for. That's millions of pos-sible terrorists that can strike fromour own back yard and our gov-ernment is "doing what they can"to stop and prevent illegals fromcrossing into our country but,quite frankly, it’s not doing as wellas it needs to be. Now while Idon't feel Mexico is preparing a

massive military campaignagainst us, how hard is it for amember of Al Qaeda or one of theseveral other Islamic militantgroups out to destroy us to getsome plane tickets and literallywalk across our border into ourown territory?

The story line that played outin the movie, “Act of Valor,” reallyisn't far-fetched. Is it so hard tobelieve that Islamic militantgroups and South American car-tels like MS-13 [who have a pres-ence in the U.S.] would teamtogether? Money corrupts manypeople. Look at our society forexample.

Like I said, I'm no expert, and Idon't know all that the FBI, DEA,CIA and other counter-terrorismgroups are doing to prevent anattack on the U.S., but since noth-

ing has happened, it’s safe to saythey're doing a good job and forthat we should all be thankful. Itjust seems to me that this countryhas gotten too soft on these sortsof things. I mean federal agentshave been killed along our borderfighting with cartels and gangsand I'm not sure, but I'm prettysure (intentional use of poor gram-mar) that killing a federal agent isborderline on an act of war.

If I was President of the UnitedStates, and was informed aboutthis, I would consider the highnumber of illegal and possiblethreats crossing into my country athreat to national security anddeclare a form of Marshall Lawalong the border between us andMexico.

Johannah Miller, math and chem-istry major, will present the Minot StateUniversity Math Club’s monthly talkon March 28 at 3 p.m. in Model Hallroom 330. Her subject combines thechemistry of thehydrogen atom withthe math of theSchrödinger equa-tion.

Miller will givethe presentation toprepare for the PiMu EpsilonConference at St.John’s University in St. Cloud, Minn.,April 12-13. This is the annual under-graduate mathematics conference forthe region. Miller said, in the future,she will publish in a peer- reviewedjournal based on this research.

This talk builds on informationMiller researched and presented lastsemester. She previously concentratedon the first of three variables. Today,she will expand the topic with the sec-ond and third variables, and then wrapup by putting it all together.

“I’m doing physics, which is appliedmath,” Miller said. “Physics has tooperate under certain rules. We’re look-ing at describing the rules that an atomhas to obey — more specifically that anelectron has to obey. I’m working onhydrogen because it’s the simplest ele-ment and it’s a way to understand howatoms work.”

Miller said her curiosity for mathcame from two sources.

“I discovered calculus and hadNarayan Thapa (MSU assistant mathe-matics and computer science professor)for a teacher.

“Dr. Thapa is very enthusiasticabout everything math,” she said.“He’ll write something down on theboard and he just has to step back andlook at it and say, ‘Isn’t it beautiful!’ Hisenthusiasm made me interested.”

The mathematician said she choseMinot State because of the small classsizes, a good music department and tobe close to home, Mandan, N.D. Sheenjoys reading and music. Her instru-ment is viola, which she plays in stringensemble.
