Jazmine Wolff’ sMidwest tour a success

Billy LuetzenContributor

Jazmine Wolff’s senior project was anything butordinary. As if the hard work and dedication putinto producing any play on campus weren’t enough,Wolff chose to perform “Baseball Groaners” and totake it on the road. The work is a one-act play writ-ten by Conrad Davidson, an established playwrightand the Minot State University dean of the college ofarts and sciences.From Jan. 1-8, Wolff and six friends took the 35-

minute comedy to seven cities in four states:Minneapolis and Duluth, Minn.; Milwaukee, Wis.;Ames and Sioux City, Iowa; Vermillion andSpearfish, S.D.Why did she choose to take Davidson’s piece on

the road?“I’m involved with Pangea House here in town,

which is a venue for traveling artists,” Wolff said,“and I have toured as a musician on several occasions.I also love theater and that’s my major, so … I justwanted to bring these two loves of mine together!”A double-major in elementary education and the-

atre arts, Wolff also needed to find time to fit a sen-ior project into her busy schedule. Luckily, she had alot of help from her friends.“Everyone really put in a lot of work to make this

happen,” she said.Christopher Stroschein, MSU graduate with a BA

in theatre arts and current campus production coor-dinator, was acting director for the play.“I read it, I thought it was funny, and I thought it

would be enough of a challenge to keep us makingnew discoveries and simple enough that we couldtake it on the road,” he said of working withDavidson’s piece.”

“Traveling around the country can get pretty

spendy; it was economical to use a piece we didn’tneed to pay royalties for,” Wolff said. “Also, it’s pret-ty cool to take a play written in North Dakota on theroad. I mean, myself and Chris and most of the castare all originally from here, too. We were proud totake a piece of Minot on the road and showcase it!”Wolff chose the actors and director because they

were people she trusted to get the job done.“It’s inspiring to live in a world where others will

commit themselves to helping you so readily,” shesaid.The cast members and friends worked out an

intensive rehearsal schedule together.“Chris and I spent basically every day of

Christmas vacation hanging out and running lines; Imean, from the time I woke up!” Daniel Johnson, leadactor for the production, said.Rehearsals, while long at times, weren’t the worst

of the cast members’ worries. Thedrives were long, sometimes upto ten hours, and getting out ofNorth Dakota during a blizzardwas a nightmare. The stormclosed Interstate 94 intoMinnesota the day they hit theroad for their first show inMinneapolis. They managed tocreate a route which took themdown into South Dakota andthrough Aberdeen on Highway12. It only added three hours totheir trip!Icy winter roads couldn’t stop

Wolff and her merry band ofactors, who call themselves “TheLampshade Brigade,” from com-pleting their tour and cominghome to a sold-out crowd for afinal performance at PangeaHouse on Jan. 8. Wolff’s tour wasthe culminating project for com-

pletion of her degree in theatre arts, but she sug-gested that she and The Lampshade Brigade haveno plans of stopping anytime soon.“This is just the first …”Wolff student teaches at McKinley Elementary

School this spring and plans to teach in the fall.She also plans to continue crocheting custom hats,playing music and organizing great communityevents at Pangea House.The artists who crammed themselves into a

minivan for Wolff’s senior project included direc-tor Christopher Stroschein; lead actor DanielJohnson; booking consultant and supportingactor Billy Luetzen and supporting cast members,Garrett Common, Jake Flaten and Jacob Braaten.Together, The Lampshade Brigade said they

would like to thank Conrad Davidson with all ofthe strength their hearts can rally.

Student Government electionsMax BuchholzStaff Writer

Well, maybe not theworld, but you can makea lot of positive change atMinot State University byyour involvement inStudent Government. Aselections and directorinterview dates approach,students should startthinking about any posi-tions they would like tohold.By the week of Feb. 14,

information will be avail-able about director inter-views. At that time, stu-dents may set up an inter-view for one of the co-director of intramuralspositions, director ofentertainment, or directorof public relations. Theseare not elected positions;

these positions will bechosen through an inter-view process.

Co-directors of intra-murals work as a team toplan and run MSU intra-murals. The director ofentertainment plans andruns student events. Thedirector of public rela-tions plans and createspublicity for studentevents.

By the week of Feb. 28,the SGA will have infor-mation available forStudent Government elec-tions, scheduled for March28 and 29. All positions areup for election: president,vice-president, secretary,treasurer, and many sena-tor positions. To run forany of these positions, can-didates must be present at

the mandatory electionmeeting March 8.

Those positions arepretty self-explanatorybut it should be clear thatthe many senator posi-tions include senators fortheir respective collegesand senators for on- andoff-campus students.

Three months in Englandand I got my first guest!Stetson Sannes, as many ofyou know from StudentGovernment Association,came to visit Queen Elizabethand myself. Unfortunately,due to the airline’s unreason-able (wink, wink) policy ofnot allowing passengers onan international flight if theyshow up only 30 minutesbefore its departure time, hewas not allowed to board theplane. Nevertheless, he flewout the next day.After hanging out in

Plymouth for a couple days,we decided to go to Londonand tour the city. We were alittle unprepared when wearrived into PaddingtonStation. We had no idea howto get to our hotel, and we for-got to write down theaddress. Fortunately for us,the Hilton is happy to help all

of its guests in any way theycan. As we walked past aHilton, I remembered thecheap hotel we were stayingat was really close to a Hilton.We told them we were stayingat the Hilton in Notting Hilland they gave us directions, amap, and a kiss on the cheek(almost).When we got to the

Bayswater Inn, a womannamed Magda, who didn’tknow what the word “umm”meant, was working at thefront desk. She gave Stetsonthe key and informed him ofthe rules. He must leave hiskey at the desk when heleaves and pick it up when hereturns. NO GUESTS AREALLOWED IN THE ROOM.Well, obviously we only

booked a room for one personbecause it’s way cheaper. Thisended up causing some prob-lems. I’m only so good atsneaking into places. After acouple nights we were

informed we’d need to payfor the nights I stayed there,so we decided to check outand be homeless in Londonfor a while. Oh well. Theircontinental breakfast was alittle sketchy anyway. At leasttwo of the guests, includingStetson and me, reported thatthe orange juice tasted like ithad vodka in it. We thenchecked into a cheap hostel.Almost everything in

London got the privilege ofbeing seen by our eyes. TheUnderground in Londonmade it really easy to getaround. Not only was it effi-cient, but the Lines have real-ly cool names. Our favoritewas the Piccadilly Line.Whether we needed to getfrom Platform 9 3/4 toLeicester Square (location ofthe movie world premiere ofHarry Potter) or back to ourhostel, Piccadilly could get usthere.

Feeling self-conscious about calories you may havepacked on during Christmas break? Chances are you’rebeing overly critical on yourself, but just in case you’renot, thanks to anonymous students looking for someextra time to shoot hoops and hone their skills forupcoming intramural basketball, the pedagogy (peh-da-go-gee) lab (Swain Hall gym) is open for basketball, soc-cer, ballet, kung-fu, or almost any other socially respon-sible activity you can think of.Minot State University President David Fuller, along

with Roger Kluck from Facilities Management organizedthe open gym and time slots. Open times are from 6:30 to10 p.m. every Tuesday and Friday in Swain Hall. Soccernets and hoops are out and available, but studentsshould bring any other desired sports gear.So, grab a pogo stick, a basketball and a friend and

make it out to open gym.

Staff WriterYou’ll be seeing “MSU Life”

around campus. Not MSU aca-demics, MSU Life is what’sgoing on on campus whenyou’re not studying. It’s enter-tainment and student events:movies, comedians, battles ofthe bands, magicians and manymore.To find out information about

what’s happening on campus,check out MSU Life eventboards and Facebook. OnFacebook, MSU Life is at face-book.com/msu.life, which iseasy enough to remember.Each semester, Minot State

University Student Governmentworks hard to break up the

semester with great entertain-ment and student events.However, many students don’tknow about these events, sothey can’t take advantage ofthem. That’s the problem thatMSU Life hopes to solve. Adding MSU Life on

Facebook is the easiest way tosee what’s coming up in theBeaver Dam and around cam-pus. It is updated with eventinfo and any last minutechanges so it will be the mostreliable info source.And because it’s on

Facebook, it’s also the mostaccessible source becauseFacebook is how we spend somuch of our time anyway.Additionally, if you’re famil-

iar with SAC (Student ActivitiesCommittee) then you’ll be famil-iar with what MSU Life is. MSULife is replacing the advertisingside of SAC because it is moreeasily understood than a vaguestring of letters. To be clear, theSAC is still the committee thatruns and plans events, but MSULife will be the advertising,poster-making arm of SAC aswell as Student Government.We have many great events

coming up this semester, mostnotably a benefit concert in thespring (once the weather lets ushang out outside). If you’reinterested in helping plan stu-dent events, come to the SGAoffice to learn more about howto get involved.

Minot State University’s new TRiOStudent Support Services program is upand running to provide support to stu-dents. It is located in the Student Center in

the area once occupied by the JonesRoom and the Dining Services office onthe second floor across from the BeaverDam. Four people staff the TRiO-SSS pro-gram on campus: Holly Major, LynnRedden, Jancy Brisson and TiffanyFylling.Major is the program director and

Redden is the program assistant. In addi-tion to running a program funded by anover-$1 million Title IV grant, Major alsodoes some student advising.Fylling’s job focuses on learning skills.

She hires and assigns tutors to studentsin the program who need intensive tutor-ing.Brisson is the advising coordinator.

She aids in academic advising and peermentoring.In addition to advising and tutoring,

another of the many services TRiO-SSSprovides is workshops on a variety ofsubjects to help students. Major said theirmission is based on student success.“We are here to help more students

graduate,” she said.TRiO-SSS bases students’ eligibility on

income, documented disability, or beingfirst-generation students – i.e. studentswhose parents don’t have a four-year col-lege degree, and thus have no explicitprior knowledge about the college expe-rience.“Currently on campus are 2,000 stu-

dents that are eligible,” Major said. “Weare funded to serve 200, and once thoseslots are filled, others who sign up mayhave to go on a waiting list.”For more information or to sign up for

TRiO-SSS, visit their office in the StudentCenter, across from the Beaver Dam.

The Northwest Art Center is beginning the new year by host-ing the Americas 2011: Paperworks competition. The event fea-tures works entered by nationally and internationally knownartists. The exhibit is on display through Feb. 18. Victoria Goro-Rapoport, an internationally known artist and printmaker, willjury the submissions.While this year’s entries are on display in the Hartnett Hall

Gallery, last year’s winner has an exhibition of his own workacross campus. Art Werger, a professor of art at Ohio Universityin Athens, Ohio, took home Best of Show in the 2010 Paperworkscompetition. Werger’s work heavily features the use of mezzo-tint, a printmaking technique wherein the artist selectively bur-nishes the plate to varying degrees of roughness, enabling dif-ferent degrees of light and dark.

[His subjects are usually] “drawn in a realistic manner, butare often observed from an unusual angle. I present imageryfrom an aerial vantage point, or overlapping other layers of real-ity, taking on the role of the omniscient narrator in a work of fic-tion,” Werger said.The exhibition will be on display in the Gordon B. Olson

Library Gallery during regular library hours until Feb. 6.

tures road games againstNCAA Division I FootballChampionship Subdivision(formerly NCAA Division I-AA) Montana StateUniversity-Bozeman and theUniversity of Texas-SanAntonio – a team transition-ing from NCAA Division IFCS to Football BowlSubdivision (formerly NCAADivision I-A).“The 2011 schedule will

not only be challenging froma competitive standpoint, buta challenge from a travelstandpoint,” MSU head coachPaul Rudolph said. “We are

looking forward to the chal-lenge.”Minot State opens the sea-

son on the road at NorthernSun IntercollegiateConference foe Bemidji Stateon Aug. 25, 2011. It is one offour games featuring currentor future members of the con-ference as the Beavers take onConcordia University-St.Paul (Minn.) and fellow NSICexpansion team University ofSioux Falls (S.D.) twice.“The 2011 schedule isn’t

necessarily indicative of whatthe future holds,” MSUAthletic Director RickHedberg said. “Being anindependent is difficult nomatter where you are located,but for us in North Dakota,it’s really tough. Joining theNSIC in 2012-13 will allow usmore consistency in schedul-

ing and guarantee us five ormore home dates in football.”The Beavers are tentatively

scheduled to begin NSIC playin football in the 2012 season.Concordia-St. Paul is
