Governororders cuts

By Courtney HolmanEditor

Last month, Gov. Jack Dalrympleannounced a 4.05 percent budgetreduction to virtually all North Dakotastate agencies. The reduction is neces-sary because of a $1.1 billion shortfallin the 2015-17 state biennium budgetdue to a drop in oil drilling and slump-ing crude prices.

The 4.05 percent cutrequires Minot StateUniversity to returnjust under $2 millionfrom its current gener-al fund budget appro-priation.

According to anemail to campus facul-ty and staff, MSU President Shirleysaid N.D. Chancellor Mark R. Hagerottasked Shirley to ensure that MSU’sreduction plans did not consider anycuts to essential student services.Shirley believes the MSU budget planlives up to that.

“Part of the framework we wereasked to work under from ChancellorHagerott was to protect essential stu-dent services," Shirley said. "At the endof the day, we're trying to absolutelyminimize the impact to those essentialstudent services.”

The largest cut is by freezing sevenopen faculty positions. The administra-tion has worked closely with the deansfrom the College of Business, theCollege of Arts and Sciences and theCollege of Education and Health

On Movies‘Creed’

By Alex NelsonStaff Writer

A wise man once said, “It ain'tabout how hard you hit, it's abouthow hard you can get hit and keepmoving forward.”

“Creed” stars Michael B. Jordan,Sylvester Stallone, TessaThompson, Tony Bellew, GrahamMacTavish and Phylicia Rashad. Itis directed by Ryan Coogler andrated PG-13 for language andintense fight scenes.

Adonis Creed (Jordan), son ofthe famed Apollo Creed, wishes tobecome a boxer himself, but isafraid to be viewed as the shadow

of his father. Adonis’ mother, MaryAnn (Rashad), also doesn’t wanthim to suffer the same fate as hisfather. Finding no-one will trainhim, Adonis travels to Philadelphiato meet with Rocky Balboa(Stallone) to ask his father’s rivaland friend if he will train him.

Rocky is hesitant to train theyoung Creed, but in the endrelents. Adonis trains hard underRocky’s instructions and gainsskill and a friend, Bianca(Thompson), an aspiring songwriter.

Soon opportunity comes knock-ing as Adonis is offered by trainerTommy Holiday (MacTavish) tofight the Lineal World LightHeavyweight Champion, "Pretty"Ricky Conlan (Bellew), who has

never lost a match in his career.With everything on the line,Adonis will give it all he’s gotagainst the reigning champion.

I wasn’t able to see a movie atthe theater this week, but I wasable to see “Creed” at the AleshireTheater on Monday. This is thesecond time I have seen the filmand it is still good.

I will not lie, I felt a bit nervouswhen I saw the trailer for the firsttime. I enjoyed the Rocky filmsand the concept was interesting,but sometimes spin-offs don’t turnout that great. I am glad to say,however, that this one has lived upto its expectations. The acting isvery well done, and Jordan andStallone really work well togetherin their scenes.

One very noticeable theme inthe movie is about fathers andsons, which you can see with thescenes featuring Rocky andAdonis. The film itself has someinteresting homages and themesfrom the previous “Rocky” moviesthat fans would recognize and, atthe same time, would intrigue newfans of the genre and series. Theboxing scenes were also done verywell and interesting to watch.

I didn’t have any certain issueswith this movie, but I did wish wecould have a few more scenes fea-turing Conlon, Adonis’s mainopponent. With the exceptions ofthe final fight and a few scenesgiving us an idea who he was andwhat his personality was like, wedon’t see him that much. In the

fight, he does prove that he is aformable opponent as he is like amixture of past “Rocky” oppo-nents Apollo Creed, Clubber Langand Ivan Drago. I should note thatthe movie would be easier towatch if you had watched the pre-vious “Rocky” films to understandwhat the characters are talkingabout and what is going on.

Overall, this movie was verywell made as Michael B. Jordanand Sylvester Stallone work welltogether and their interaction onscreen is worth the watch. Whilethe film at the moment is not avail-able to watch, hopefully you willgive it a try when it comes out torent.

I personally rate “Creed” 5 outof 5 Beavers.

International CelebrationsInternational Women’s Day March 8

Women's Day is one of those holi-days.

As obscure as it is for most ofthe Western hemisphere, it is anofficial holiday in 28 countries,four of which have this as a dayoff only for women. It is alsowidely celebrated in eight othercountries, but is not considered apublic holiday.

The purpose of InternationalWomen's Day is to celebrate notonly the incredible virtue of wom-anhood, but also equality in work,education and social status. Theholiday takes its origin at the

times of the rising feminist move-ments in the beginning of the 20thcentury in North America. Thepremise of the first Women's Daybecame the 1908 strike of garmentworkers in New York, demandingimprovement of working condi-tions.

A year later, on Feb. 28, theAmerican Socialist Party recog-nized it as a first NationalWomen's Day in honor of the 1908strike. Meanwhile, in 1910,Western Europe experienced sim-ilar developments. SocialistInternational established the first

International Women's Day at aconference in Copenhagen, withthe approval of more than 100women members from 17 coun-tries.

The first three women werealso elected to the Finnish parlia-ment that year. The Copenhageninitiative was followed byInternational Women's Day recog-nition in Germany, Austria,Denmark and Switzerland. Theday was marked with rallieswhere women demanded theright to vote and to hold publicoffice, to work and to have voca-

tional training, as well as protest-ing against discrimination in theworkplace.

German activist and SocialDemocrat, Clara Zetkin, proposedin 1911 the establishment ofWomen's Day on March 8, inorder to give women the opportu-nity to voice their demands andenforce equality (German HistoryDocuments and Images). In 1913-1914, Women's Day served inprotesting World War I. Womenin Russia observed their firstWomen's Day on the last Sunday

of February, which in 1914 hadfallen on March 8 in the GregorianCalendar. Meanwhile in WesternEurope, around that day manyother rallies and strikes took placewhere women protested theWorld War.

Despite the efforts of Europeanactivists, women gained the rightto vote in Germany, Russia andother countries only after WorldWar I. For years, InternationalWomen's Day carried a socialisticcharacter, especially in the SovietUnion. However, over the years, ithas transformed into a universalappreciation and celebration ofwomanhood, equality and respect.

It is incredible to think thattoday, 119 years after the firstrecognition of Women's Day, theissues and demands of womenstill persist in many countries. In1975, the United Nations estab-lished March 8 as an InternationalWomen's Day and official UN hol-iday. Two years later, the UNGeneral Assembly adopted a reso-lution that proclaimed "a UnitedNations Day for Women’s Rightsand International Peace to beobserved on any day of the yearby Member States, in accordancewith their historical and nationaltraditions.” (UN Women Watch).

Every year, the United Nationshas a theme for Women's Day andthis year it is Planet 50-50 by 2030:Step It Up for Gender Equality. Itmakes a special emphasis on theUN Women's Step it Up initiativewhich focuses on gender equalityas a part of the SustainableDevelopment Program. The pro-gram proclaims: "The achieve-ment of full human potential andof sustainable development is notpossible if one half of humanitycontinues to be denied its fullhuman rights and opportunities.”(UN Women Watch).

Absolutely in every celebratingcountry, the holiday attributes avery delicate flare, emphasizingfeminine nature and showeringladies with attention and, often,flowers. In countries of the post-Soviet block and some easternEuropean countries, flowers arean irreplaceable appendage of

Women's Day. Age, appearance,language, titles and backgroundsdo not matter on that day. It is aholiday of mothers, wives, daugh-ters, sisters, friends and simplybeautiful women in their diversityand life choices.

In Russia, a common phrase isthat it may rain on March 8,because it is women's happy tearsand unhappy, too, for everythingthey have endured in life. Thistopic was especially relevant inEastern Europe after World WarII, as it became the first major con-flict where women played a signif-icant role both in armed forces andin the reserve. The world soughtpeace and was especially glad todive into a simple celebration notaffected by politics. That is whatInternational Women's Day wasand still is about, recognizing thepure nature of humanity andemphasizing the importance ofsustainable development world-wide through improving women'srights and gender equality.

Next Tuesday, take a minute tolet your favorite ladies know howmuch you appreciate their role inyour life and make them smile.Happy International Women'sDay!References:

... Women’s Daycontinued from page 4 Practice mindfulness

By Carl Michael ClaritoSenior Nursing StudentAdapting to a new educa-

tion or social environment canbe stressful to most college stu-dents. To alleviate some of thestress that a college student canexperience, he or she shouldconsider practicing mindful-ness.

Mindfulness is a meditationtechnique developed by Dr. JonKabat-Zinn. According to Dr.Kabat-Zinn, “Mindfulness isawareness that arises throughpaying attention, on purpose,in the present moment, non-judgmentally.”

Mindfulness involvesawareness of the presentmoment with open-mindedthoughts and emotions. Itinvolves taking time to observeand experience the presentmoment. One may practicemindfulness through a simplemeditation technique. Forexample, one may take amoment to pause and observeone’s breathing, thoughts, emo-tions and environment.Benefits of practicing mindful-ness include reducing personalstress, developing positiveemotions, eliminating environ-mental distractions, building asense of compassion andenhancing inter-personal rela-tionships.

To practice mindfulness,one must start by taking amoment to observe his or herbreathing. Focus on the physi-

cal sensation of each breath as itenters and leaves the body. Keepopen-minded thoughts and emo-tions to experience the presentmoment. Take this chance toobserve the environment. Onemay continue to practice mindful-ness for as long as he or shedesires. Some may practice mind-fulness in one minute then resumecurrent activities, or one maychoose to meditate with mindful-ness for a prolonged period oftime.

The use of mindfulness can beapplied in a variety of settingssuch as during a conversation,studying in school, driving towork or waking up in the morn-ing. While conversing, it is good totake a moment to clear one’sthoughts and focus on the mes-sage that is being conveyed. Whena student is stressed from study-ing, he or she may take shortbreaks to clear his or her mind,focus on the present moment andanalyze emotions. When one istraveling to work, take time toexamine the environment andenjoy what the present momenthas to offer. And, when wakingup in the morning, take the time torelax and mentally prepare one-self for the upcoming day.

By properly incorporating

mindfulness into one’s day-to-dayactivities, one can appreciate thepresent moment with positiveemotions and a clear mentality.References:

Should you be worried about Zika virus?By Tanielle Brost

MSU Student Health CenterWhat is it?

The Zika virus is a virus that is trans-mitted by mosquitoes. Most people donot show any signs or symptoms of thevirus while others report mild fever, rash,muscle aches or headaches. These symp-toms typically begin two to seven daysafter being bitten by an infected mosqui-to. The Zika virus has been shown tocause microcephaly (a potentially fatalcongenital brain condition) in newbornswhose mothers contracted the virus dur-ing pregnancy.How is it spread?

The Zika virus is mainly spreadthrough mosquito bites, but has also beentransmitted through unprotected sexualcontact and blood. During the first weekof infection, Zika virus can be found inblood and passed to another mosquitothrough mosquito bites. An infected mos-quito can then spread the virus to otherpeople. As of now, the Zika virus hasbeen known to be transmitted sexuallyfrom an infected man to his sexual part-ners. It is not known how long the virus ispresent in the semen, but the CDC statesthat the virus can be present in semenlonger than blood. The best ways to pro-tect yourself from this virus are absti-nence or to use protection. According tothe CDC, as of February 17, 2016, 82 trav-el-associated Zika virus cases have beenreported in the U.S. However, there areno locally associated Zika cases reported

in the U.S.Treatment

Currently, there is no vaccine or spe-cialized treatment for the Zika virus.Treatment instead focuses on managingthe symptoms, for example acetamino-phen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil) forheadaches, muscle pain, or fever.Prevention

The CDC currently recommends thatall pregnant women avoid travel to areaswhere there is an outbreak of the Zikavirus. If you are planning to travel to anarea where there is a known outbreak ofthe Zika virus, take precautions. The pre-cautions are focused on protection frominfected mosquitoes. These include usinginsect repellent containing DEET (as spec-ified on the label), wearing clothing thatcovers as much of the body as possible,and sleeping with mosquito nets over thebed. For a more detailed list of measuresto protect yourself against infected mos-quitos, the PDF below lists preventativemeasures for those traveling to areas ofknown Zika outbreaks.

http://www.cdc.gov/chikungun-ya/pdfs/fs_mosquito_bite_prevention_travelers.pdf.Travel Information

Zika virus has been known to circulatein Africa, the Americas, Asia and thePacific islands.

“The [frozen positions] will probablyhave little impact on the students on aday-to-day basis,” Shirley said. "We mayhave to have the full-time faculty take onan extra section or two, teach some over-load. There might be some slightly largerclass sizes, as well, but I think that will bemore the exception, not the rule. The real-ity is, there will be more overload whereour current faculty have the opportunityto teach more, and some adjuncts, part-time professors may be teaching.”

In addition, two staff positions will befrozen and two staff positions eliminated.

The second largest reduction is in theextraordinary repair funds.Extraordinary repairs funds take care of

deferred maintenance. This consists ofbigger repairs usually done over thesummer, and can include anything fromroof repair to adding more efficient win-dows or replacing carpet across the cam-pus.

Completing the FreeApplication for Federal StudentAid (FAFSA) is the first steptoward getting federal aid forcollege or graduate school.Students can start preparing forthe Fall 2016 semester by filingtheir FAFSA now for the 2016-2017 school year. Completingand submitting the FAFSA isfree and quick.

The FAFSA determines eligi-bility for only one academicyear, therefore, students mustapply for financial aid everyyear. Even if a student onlyreceived loans the previous aca-demic year, the FAFSA shouldbe filed every year. The federalneed analysis formula is com-plex enough that even a simplechange in circumstances mayhave a big impact on eligibilityfor need-based financial aid. Forexample, an increase in thenumber of children in college

Financial aid priority deadline approachingmay significantly reduce a family’sexpected family contribution(EFC), which would increase eligi-bility for financial aid.

For the fall 2016 or spring 2017semesters, students returning toMinot State University should com-plete and submit the 2016-2017FAFSA online at www.fafsa.gov.Enter the MSU school code, 002994,on your FAFSA to have your infor-mation sent to MSU. Submit yourFAFSA by April 8 in order for theMSU Financial Aid Office toreceive your FAFSA results by thepriority funding deadline of April15. Students meeting the priorityfunding deadline will be consid-ered for all federal student aid pro-grams including the Federal PellGrant, Direct Loan, Work Study,Perkins Loan, and SupplementalEducation Opportunity Grant pro-grams. Applications received afterthe priority deadline will be accept-ed, but funding may be limited to

the Federal Pell Grant and FederalDirect Loan programs.

To log in and sign a FAFSA elec-tronically, students will use theirFederal Student Aid (FSA)Username and Password. If a par-ent signature is needed on theFAFSA, the parent must apply fortheir own FSA Username andPassword. The FSA ID, a usernameand password, replaced the FederalStudent Aid PIN. If a student orparent has not yet created an FSAID, this can be completed online atwww.fsaid.ed.gov. The FSA UserID is used to submit the FAFSA andto access all Federal Student Aidwebsites.

In the “finance” portion of theFAFSA, the IRS Data Retrieval Tool(DRT) should be used, if possible,to transfer data from a studentand/or parent federal income taxreturn to the FAFSA. Using theDRT will ensure accuracy and pos-

Season comes to an end for hoopsters(MSU Sports Information) —

Minot State University gave up bigruns at the start of each half in thefirst round of the NSIC/SanfordHealth Women's BasketballTournament Wednesday in SiouxFalls last week.

The Beavers rallied from theslow start in the first half, but did-n't have an answer for the secondone.

Augustana Universityoutscored Minot State, 30-19, in thethird quarter to break open a closegame and pull away for a 96-75win.

"I'm very proud of our efforttonight," MSU head coach SheilaGreen Gerding said. "Their firepower was just a bit too much toovercome. We left it all on thecourt, and played our hearts out."

Minot State, which finished theseason at 11-18 overall, trailed by13 points in the first quarter, butwent on a run late in the quarter totrail by just four, 26-22, after onequarter.

It stayed close throughout thesecond quarter, as well, as MSUcontinued to lock down Augie ondefense after the big early spurt.MSU got it to as few as three asKori Eurich (Jr., G) knocked downa 3 on the Beavers’ first possession
